Chapter 494: Entering the quarterfinals(1/3)

After CP defeated AHQ, its record led the Group C standings.

After EDG experienced their first defeat, the second game did not disappoint. They defeated C9 and brought the record to 1-1, retaining the chance to qualify.

RNG's record is the same as CP's 2-0, but they will have one more game soon, which is also the last opponent SSG in the first round of Group D.

The group stage is a single-group round-robin competition, which means there are two rounds of BO1 and you need to play against the teams in the group.

RNG plays SSG, this is the end of the first round.

At present, the situation in the 4 groups is relatively obvious.

Ranking first in Group A is ROX, with a 3-0 victory record.

Group B is SKT, 2-0, missing EDG.

In Group C, CP is far ahead 2-0, leaving old rival H2K to play.

By the way, last year Chen Lang was also in the same group as Ryu, and the two played against each other~

RYU has always remembered the shame of last year. This year, when he learned that he was in a group with Chen Lang again, he felt happy and sad.

I'm happy because I have the opportunity to avenge last year's solo kill, but I'm sad because of CP's strong strength.

Even if he can single-kill Chen Lang online, it's hard for him to be optimistic about the outcome of the game.

Comparing the two teams together, to be honest, the difference in strength is indeed quite big.

RYU played in the LCK in the early years, and naturally knows the training and strength of the LCK players!

When he came to Europe, he discovered that not only were the wages here high, but the players were not very strong and the competition was low.

Regardless of the strength of the team, the individual strength of European players cannot be compared with that of the LCK!

When he played against Chen Lang last year, he even felt greater pressure from the LCK mid laners!

If he was asked to describe it, it was the tribulation used by Chen Lang in that game that made him feel the dominance that the fledgling Faker gave him in the double tribulation battle during the S3 period!

No, it's even more terrifying!

Although the fakers of that period were very strong, they were only strong at the operational level.

Chen Lang can put huge pressure on him from the line, the operation of the army line and the intensity of roaming. These are the pressures that the young faker cannot put on him.

Even though Chen Lang is known to be very strong, RYU himself is also a very arrogant person, otherwise he would not have been the number one mid laner in the LCK back then!

Today, the daylight flies by. When he fought with Chen Lang last year, Chen Lang chose robbery, which was tantamount to opening his wound.

Therefore, after losing, he returned to the LEC division. He was no longer confused, but started training hard, just to return to the World Championship, and then take revenge on Chen Lang and Faker!

As for whether he can meet these two people in the World Championship, he is not worried.

He believes in the strength of Chen Lang and Faker, and also believes that they can go to the World Championships.

All RYU has to do is ensure that they can make it to the World Championships.

Before CP played H2K, RNG first played against SSG.

Before the game, RNG fans were very "arrogant" and they felt that the game was already won.

The audience of LPL has also begun to expand.

There is no way, there is indeed evidence that RNG is stronger than SSG!

First of all, both teams played against TSM. TSM brutally beat SSG and pushed the game like a human machine. SSG was beaten to the point where it couldn't hold its head up.

Then there was the battle between RNG and TSM. TSM had a slight advantage in the early stage, but RNG soon found an opportunity and overtook the situation.

Since then, RNG has not given TSM any chance. They ended the game steadily and had a clear advantage.

Comparing these two, no one will think that RNG cannot beat SSG!

"Wait for a 3-0~"

"RNG will be 3-0 earlier than CP. I hope both teams can qualify first in the group. As for EDG, just let it happen!"

"SSG was killed by North American Laobi, and UZI once killed North American Laobi. Do you need to think too much?"

"SSG is indeed not very strong. RNG is not difficult. The first round will be simpler and they will qualify 3-0. I am optimistic that both RNG and CP will qualify first in the group!"

"To be honest, I think RNG's condition has improved visibly since they came to the World Championship. Their tacit understanding and strength in the World Championship are far better than in the playoffs."

"EDG's kind of performance makes me feel like I'm going to lose every game. I feel like they are good at fighting internal wars, but not so good at fighting foreign wars~"

The mainstream people on the Internet are praising RNG and CP, while RNG fans are secretly belittling EDG.

EDG fans are also very helpless, mainly because their record makes them unable to raise their heads.

It's 1-1 now, and SKT has yet to play. It's more difficult to beat them.

The main reason is that if you lose against a FW that shouldn't lose, it will be very hurtful.

According to netizens' speculation, EDG may have to play in the playoffs unless they can win all the subsequent games.

The competition between RNG and SSG can also be regarded as a relatively popular and highly watched event.

Because these two represent the confrontation between LPL and LCK, this is also the first confrontation between LPL and LCK so far!

For the viewers in each other's competition areas, we are the biggest competitors.

Before the game, most people believed that the LPL and LCK would reach the end, and champions would be produced in these two divisions.

There is indeed a certain gap between the strength of European and American teams and these two divisions. Because the LPL won all the championships in last year's events, it is the first division, while the LCK is the second division.

After all, they have repeatedly reached the finals and won second place.

...

"Hello everyone, I am Doll."

"I'm Miller."

"Today is the match between RNG and SSG." Watou said with a smile on his face: "Currently RNG leads Group D 2-0, while SSG leads 1-1. This match is crucial for both sides."

"Yes." Miller replied: "If RNG can win the game, then they will enter the second round of the group stage with 3-0 points, and there is a high probability of qualifying as the first in the group!"

"If SSG loses this game again, they will most likely face a problem, that is, the qualifying situation in the group will be very serious."

Because TSM defeated SSG, if they lose to RNG again, it will lead to RNG3-0, TSM2-1, SSG1-2,.

In this way, as long as TSM performs normally in the second round, there is a high probability that TSM will join hands with RNG to advance to the top eight, while SSG will face elimination.

"This battle with SSG can be said to be a battle of life and death!" Wawa laughed loudly.

Seeing that the LCK team is facing the fate of elimination, he is still very happy as a member of the LPL.

Even on the commentary desk, he would take pleasure in his misfortune.

Like many LPL viewers, he believes that RNG has a better chance of winning than SSG.

While the two were explaining, both sides entered BP mode.

...

"SSG has to work hard!"

"Please be sure to win the game!"

The LPL commentary was relaxed and comfortable, while the LCK commentary was much more emotional.

If SSG can't qualify, the fun will be great.

South Korea is a small country, and the domestic e-sports industry is very standardized. They are not as good as other countries in large-scale events, so industries that can compete in any field will vigorously develop in order to defeat each other.

In the two years of S3 and S4, LCK became the number one division in the world and was also recognized as the strongest country in playing LOL.

This has made Koreans happy for two years. They talk nonsense in the LOL circle and think they are the strongest in the world!

However, S5 is not very friendly to them.

SKT first lost in MSI, but then won the World Championship and advanced to the finals. This gave them hope of the rise of LCK!

All because SKT is too strong!

After experiencing the failure of MSI, SKT achieved nirvana in the summer split. The team's status improved again, and faker also came out of the slump, making everyone seem to have seen him in S3!

High-spirited!

As a result, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and CP also entered the finals with a complete victory!

SKT failed again.

Before the finals, LCK viewers felt that SKT was stable.

As a result, they were defeated by CP in the finals. They failed to continue their previous glory and were relegated to the second division.

It’s not that SKT is not strong, it’s just that CP is indeed too strong.

Even proud Koreans have to admit the strong strength of CP.

Fortunately, in the S6 season, Little Peanut left CP and joined ROX, and ROX performed strongly in the new season. Although they lost to SKT and finished second in the spring split, they won the championship in the summer split.

The departure of Little Peanut has caused CP's strength to decline. Even though CP's results this year are still outstanding, judging from the performance of MSI, CP's dominance in the World Championship has obviously declined compared to last year.

This year, the two LCK teams, SKT and ROX, are very powerful. In the eyes of the LCCK audience, both teams have a chance to defeat CP and win the championship!
