When Mixia returned to the lounge, she didn't immediately go to bed to recuperate.
After successfully passing the difficult group stage, she had to eat the daily dessert after the game. While eating snack cakes, she couldn't wait to call Lisa on the other side of the sea to show off her achievements.
The competition day is Saturday morning in Tokyo, so there is no need to worry about disturbing Risa's class.
However, the younger sister who heard the good news did not seem to be very excited. Instead, she was extremely calm, "Humph, don't be too proud, SKT may be hiding tactics! And Oujiang, you snake girl should have been preparing for the finals like MSI. If you use your hero so early, other teams in the knockout rounds will be wary!"
"Your sister, am I the kind of person who plays dirty tricks and hides heroes? Cassiopeia just picked her out because she thought she could win. I have many such heroes here!" Mika explained.
Sure enough, Risa who shouted before the game that she must beat SKT is cuter...
"That's right, you guys probably wouldn't have thought of hiding a hero. It should be a request from Coach Abu of the EDG coaching staff."
"Hey, hey, hey! Didn't you beg my sister yesterday that I must defeat SKT! Why are you so cold today when I really won, and you couldn't stop congratulating Ou Nie-chan..." Mixia sighed.
"You're so proud, Ou Nie-chan! Well, you played very well in today's game! Remember to keep up the good work in the next game!" Risa's encouragement came from the other side.
"Yeah, yeah! Just wait and see me win the championship!" Mixia finally tasted the post-game dessert.
Very sweet.
Sweeter than cake.
After hanging up the phone, the group match on the field continued.
Then came the final match of Group C between skt and intz.
Although the elimination spots have been determined in the group, if the wild card intz can defeat skt, it will give edg a playoff to compete with skt for the top spot, so there are still many lpl viewers paying attention to this game.
However, the upset scene did not appear. SKT easily completed the sweep in 32 minutes and locked the top spot in Group C, while the Brazilian brother left the field in frustration.
There are no extra games to play, and all games in Group C are over.
…
EDG, who had finished their group stage tour, could not immediately rush to Chicago, where the quarter-finals were held, that night because this year's quarter-final draw ceremony was also held at this venue on the last day of the group stage, and the players needed to be on stage in person.
Meixia and her teammates stayed in San Francisco for another three days, and the results of the remaining two groups were released one after another.
fw, the only hope for LMS in Group B, originally had little hope of qualifying 1-2 in the first round. In the second round, they lost to the North American clg team in the first game, and then defeated the wild card anx in a lucky battle in 40 minutes, and then had another life-and-death battle. They lost to h2k, a team formed by young jankos and elderly Yue Lun, and were eliminated with a total score of 2-4.
Therefore, the promotion spots in Group B are occupied by the 5-1 European team h2k and the 3-3 CIS outside card anx.
Moving on to the melee in Group D, this is also a group of games that LPL viewers pay special attention to, because there is RNG, the second seed of LPL, who is 2-1 in the first round and has a high probability of advancing.
The fate of rng in this time and space has not changed from the previous life.
They suffered a miserable defeat in the second round!
The loss to the Korean team ssg was expected, but they actually lost to spy who was 0-3 in the first round, falling to 2-3 and requiring a lot of tsm to fight a life and death battle.
Fortunately, since tsm lost to rng in the first round, as long as the 2-3 rng defeated the 3-3 tsm, they would directly advance through the double play without having to play extra rounds.
In the last battle, Uzi showed his super AD online suppression, using Ezreal's seven-minute reverse R to suppress Lucian's ten swords, and then cooperated with Xiaohu and mlxg to jump over the tower to get three kills.
It's just that the perfect start did not allow rng to win easily.
In the mid-term, many team battles ended in exchange for heads. Even when the dragon went to the high ground, it was counterattacked and sent out of the team to be destroyed.
The game was delayed until forty minutes. RNG had one wind dragon and three water dragons, and TSM's output was seriously insufficient. Only then did they win the team battle and level the high ground.
Although rng won, they advanced as second in the group.
But after an embarrassing game, it is difficult for the LPL audience to have confidence in them to win the championship. The most common words on the forum are the same as encouraging EDG.
——Breaking through the top eight counts as victory!
…
The drawing ceremony was held at the Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium on the night when all the group stage matches ended.
The factory director will participate in the drawing of lots on behalf of EDG.
The first place in the group is rox, h2k, skt and ssg.
The second place in the group is c9, anx, edg and rng.
There is no doubt that the weakest player in the No. 1 seed pool is h2k.
The director personally wanted to draw h2k based on the strength comparison of the teams, but knowing Mika well, he knew that Sakura Girl must have other answers in mind.
When he was about to leave the hotel, he rubbed his hands and asked, "Mika, which team do you want to meet among the top eight? Let me draw it for you with my invincible luck!"
"Rox! The factory director's number two fan is peanut! I must let him know who is the factory director's number one fan!" Mixia replied.
She remembered that the top eight factory directors in another time and space met Little Peanut and were beaten up in many famous scenes. However, in this time and space, she, the factory director's number one fan, would not allow such treacherous things to happen.
"Okay, then let's smoke Huya Rox!" With Mika's backing, the factory director is also growing in authority, "This time I won't be as rude as he was to the Brazilian fans."
The factory director arrived at the venue alone.
Waiting in the audience before taking the stage, Uzi, who is responsible for the appearance of rng, is also waiting next to him.
"How about it? Which team do you want to draw?" The factory director who saw an acquaintance went over to talk to him.
"It must be h2k. No one wants to draw the lck team." Uzi said with a bitter smile, "No, one of our two teams must win the lck team..."
The factory director got excited and said something sarcastic, "The lck team is great, but we actually just want to play Huya Rox, but we are not interested in h2k."
"rox? Do you have a secret weapon to deal with rox?" Uzi asked doubtfully.
The factory director pretended, "That's a must. Three kills to win the championship. Mika and I are ready."
"Factory director, you are good, you are so confident!" Uzi was extremely surprised. He had seen the factory director talk nonsense before, but this was the first time he heard such new talk.
"There is no other way. Sakura Girl gave a death order to kill the Korean team three times, so I can only follow my little confidence." The director crossed his arms and showed off his mid laner.
Yes, with Mika here, is there any need to worry about miscellaneous fish like Huya and Sanxing? In the second round against SKT, the blind monk was so bad that Mika was able to lead him to victory. The factory director couldn't imagine the possibility of losing to the LCK team under normal performance!
Soon the two came on stage, and the guests were responsible for drawing lots.
The quarterfinals are divided into upper and lower halves.
In the first half, skt will play against rng, and h2k will play against c9.
In the second half, rox will play against edg, and ssg will play against anx.
Uzi, who won the draw for the defending champion SKT, smiled bitterly when he stepped down. This was considered a draw for RNG.
The director, who won the No. 1 seed of LCK, showed his heartfelt joy and walked off the stage.
Live up to the mission given by Sakura Girl!
