While waiting in line, Chen Nan chose to read the news.
The result was just as he thought. Now domestic public opinion has exploded:
"Hahahaha! RNG is in the top 16? It's really getting stronger every year!"
"RNG is like this, it's not surprising."
"It made me laugh. Didn't they say before the game that they would compete with SKT for first place in the group? That's it?"
"You may have misunderstood. What others are competing for is the first eliminated team in the LPL and LCK divisions in this S competition."
"It's dead! RNG is dead! Huang Za is hiding and doesn't dare to come out, right?"
RNG fans online were liquidated, mainly because RNG was too optimistic during previous interviews.
When their players are optimistic, their fans become more optimistic too.
How optimistic I was before, how uncomfortable I am now.
Chen Nan was watching the news when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Chen Nan walked to the door and opened it. What he didn't expect was that it was UZI!
"Brother, you are right, we are really eliminated." UZI said with a wry smile.
Chen Nan was a little embarrassed. It would be too much to gloat now. How should he respond?
Chen Nan doesn't have a bad impression of everyone in RNG, mainly because they have problems with their head coach.
UZI continued: "We should have listened to you and studied FNC more. FNC is so disgusting. It's so strong. I didn't see it before."
Chen Nan: "Occasionally, European and American players will use their strength. For example, G2 will take away a CJB team every year."
When UZI heard this, his face turned even darker.
Chen Nan suddenly realized when he saw it, wasn't it RNG who was eliminated by G2 last year?
This reminds UZI of some tragic things again.
So Chen Nan said: "But don't worry, I estimate that G2 will send SKT away this year, which can be regarded as revenge for you."
UZI: "Avenge us? That's right. You seemed to have said before that SKT would play us. You should have seen it. Today, SKT is obviously letting FNC win."
Chen Nan: "Yes, but it's useless to see it. If there is no evidence for this kind of thing, there will be no evidence."
UZI sighed: "Oh, I should have listened to you if I had known better."
Chen Nan was noncommittal. People are like this, and they tend to be more arrogant when things are still improving.
You won’t regret it until things have turned around.
UZI was silent for a while, then became excited:
"Brother, how about coming to our RNG next year? You must come, no matter what the conditions are, just do it!"
Chen Nan: "This...I may need time to think about it. It's too early to say this now."
UZI realized something and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask the club to strengthen the lineup. It will not be the same as this year. Our lineup will be much stronger next year! If you join, we will be even more powerful!"
"We are going back tomorrow. If you think about it, you can come to me directly. Of course, if you still need time, that's okay. You can contact me at any time."
Chen Nan nodded, and UZI left.
Chen Nan returned to the room and continued to score points.
The next day was the fourth match day of the second round of the group stage.
Today is the match of Group D, which is the group where IG and DWG are located.
IG now has a record of 2-1, and DWG is also 2-1. The difference is that IG lost one game to DWG, while DWG lost one game to TL.
Rita was not the commentator today, so the two of them did not go to the scene and just watched the game in the room.
The two of them were sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard, with a notebook in front of them.
Soon, the game between IG and DWG began, and the players from both sides appeared on the stage.
This game has attracted a lot of attention, because many people think that IG and DWG are very similar. Both teams are very strong in the middle and upper jungle.
The difference is that DWG jungler CanyOn is a little stronger than King Ning, and the bottom lane is IG's advantage.
Netizens are still relatively optimistic, thinking that IG can definitely win easily.
I didn’t play the first game because I underestimated the enemy.
Including IG players and coaches all thought so when interviewed.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that IG actually lost to DWG and advanced to the second place in the group!
Rita exclaimed: "You seemed to have told IG last time that IG should be careful about DWG and FPX, right? They really can't beat DWG!"
Chen Nan: "I think I said that."
Rita: "How do you know? Didn't IG say before that they can play GRF casually, but this DWG has never beaten GRF? Why can't IG beat DWG again?"
Chen Nan: "This is the restraint relationship between teams. It's a bit complicated to say. In short, it is difficult for IG to win against DWG."
Rita: "Then I feel that this year's LPL is very dangerous. RNG was eliminated, IG couldn't beat DWG, and FPX was bumpy in the group stage..."
Chen Nan: "So drawing lots is very important. In fact, for every strong team, there are one or two teams that are difficult to beat. As long as the teams that are difficult to beat are avoided during the drawing, then there will be A chance to win.”
Rita nodded, seeming to understand.
At this moment, Chen Nan's cell phone rang. He took it out and took a look. Rita also came over: "Who sent you the message?"
Chen Nan opened it and found that it was Principal Wang.
"You have something good. Next time for the quarter-finals, come to my box and let's watch it together."
Seeing this news, Rita smiled: "It seems that President Wang thinks what you said makes sense and wants you to give him some advice. You must go. This is your chance to express yourself!"
Chen Nan: "Just go, there's nothing else to do anyway."
Rita: "Don't be so reluctant. There are many people who want to go but don't have a chance."
As IG was double-killed by DWG, public opinion online exploded:
"It's over, IG can't beat DWG, then who else in the LPL can be relied on?"
"Who said this year is the strongest year for LPL? Why does it feel like it is the weakest year?"
"It's a success if you can reach the finals."
"The final is a civil war in the LCK, don't think about it."
"G2 can help. Can you send an LCK team back?"
After the quarter-finals, the drawing ceremony for the quarter-finals took place immediately.
GRF and IG were drawn into the same team, and IG was very happy. At the same time as this draw, everyone will also be able to see the reactions of each team.
This is also for the effect of the show. IG is already laughing.
Everyone in GRF looked gloomy, after all, they had been beaten by IG in previous training matches.
Immediately afterwards, FPX and FNC were grouped together.
The reaction of everyone in FPX was relatively dull, and they were a little happy.
Then SKT and SPY were grouped together.
For SKT, this was almost like picking up a leak, so they were naturally happy, and everyone was smiling from ear to ear.
Finally, DWG and G2 were grouped together.
Then an outrageous scene happened. People from DWG were laughing, and people from G2 were also laughing.
It seems that both parties are quite confident.
LCK fans mocked online:
"What are G2 laughing at? Do you really think you can touch porcelain DWG?"
"G2 probably thought they could take an early vacation, so they are very happy."
"G2 is a team that is just here to make fun of us."
"Like to laugh? You cry!"
