This season should be said to be the smoothest season for RNG.
At the beginning of the season, they were actually as uncomfortable as EDG. The departure of two pickle daddies was unacceptable to them for a while.
Although the performance of this horse and the looper in the world championship is still open to question, but... the name is there, it is better than these people in China!
After the Summer Split, EDG's top laner fake thigh came along. After playing with it, I found that it was not as good as the down-and-out young man like myself.
They are angry!
Fortunately, God has mercy on their RNG, and the version has been changed!
A version that best suited their RNG was born, and countless RNG fans shouted Riot Daddy to express their gratitude.
3-0 in the first round of the group stage is indeed a very respectable figure. Only three of the 12 participating teams achieved this.
One is LZ, one is SKT, and the other one is RNG!
"We, RNG, are the number one seed in LPL! Why should EDG?"
"EDG is just making up the numbers. If they really want to beat LCK, they have to look at me, RNG!"
"Expecting EDG to take revenge? It's better to look at RNG! If RNG beats SKT, as for a 10,000 economic lead being overturned? A 3,000 lead is enough to kill SKT!"
Be confident!
Huang Za began to inflate on the spot, inflating himself.
There was a three-day break from the end of the first round of the group stage to the start of the second round.
These three days seem like a lot of time, but in fact they are too little for the participating teams..
They need to use these few days to digest their first-round games, summarize their mistakes, and find out their shortcomings.
Analyze your opponents and develop new tactics to qualify.
The main research target of EDG is naturally SKT!
"Our new system was very successful, and we continued to play like that in the second round!"
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Abu deliberately gave it away and said to everyone with a mysterious expression.
Factory Director: "Let's listen to the bad ones first. I'm afraid that if I listen to the good ones and then the bad ones, I won't be in a good mood all day long."
Zhuang Tian: "I disagree. Listen first!"
Factory Director: "You have to go against me, right?"
Zhuang Tian: "That's not necessarily the case. The other way around is actually not impossible."
The sister-in-law hugged herself tightly: "Hey~~~"
Abramovich was speechless: "Okay. Let's all be serious. Let's talk about the good news first! The good news is..." Abramovich's eyes suddenly lit up mid-sentence: "We can take revenge on SKT right away!"
Zhuang Tian: "What about the bad news?"
Abramovich: "The bad news is that we are the first group to compete in the second round, so other groups may need more time to prepare. We only have three days! Only three days!"
The second round of the group stage is no longer the same as the first round, with several groups taking turns throughout the day.
In the second round, life or death will be decided within one day!
If you win, you advance, if you lose, you go home!
The schedule of the second round actually has advantages and disadvantages. For example, on the first day of the second round, this group will have less research and preparation time than other groups.
Maybe some cuties will ask at this time: "Oh! Then everyone else in the same group will compete on the same day! No one will make a profit, and no one will lose!"
The truth is this. The key lies in ranking!
For example, according to the rules of the quarter-finals, the first team in the group will play the second team in the group. The team that comes last can use this rule to make a fuss, but EDG cannot.
For example, if SKT takes first place in the group, as long as you don't want to touch SKT, then you should try your best to win the first place in your group. You will definitely not be able to meet them in the quarterfinals.
If SKT is unlucky enough to be second, you can give up the first place in the group just to avoid the opponent you think is the most difficult opponent.
This is called the fair use rule.
The first and second place players in the group can both advance to the quarterfinals anyway. Wouldn't it be better if you can choose an opponent that you are more confident you can defeat?
However, this situation of using the rules to deliberately give up the first place in the group has never happened once in history, so no team has taken advantage of this loophole in the rules.
It’s not that they don’t want to drill, it’s that the first-class teams at the top haven’t turned over once!
The factory director was very frustrated after hearing the news: "How come it only lasted three days?"
Zhuang Tian was also very depressed after hearing the news: "Why are there still three days?"
After that, Abramovich began to focus on analyzing SKT's performance in the first round, and using various data to analyze their possible lineup in the second round.
Of course, as the core of the tactics in the second round, Abramovich also continued to play tricks on Zhuang Tian.
This time, Zhuang Tian faced the entire EDG coaching staff.
"Come on! Xiaozhuang, tell me, what other heroes are there in your hero pool?"
Zhuang Tian held his chin with one hand and tried to remember: "Sword Queen, Jace, weapons, Quinn, Raven, vampire, sword girl, crocodile, Vayne, dog head, stone man, Teemo, Karma, Lucian, skateboard shoes ..”
Seeing that Zhuang Tian's words were getting more and more outrageous, Abu quickly stopped: "No, what are you talking about? A hero with a high score will tell you, stop playing with these nonsense."
Zhuang Tian: "These are the high-point lineups! I have to say that these heroes are the best."
Abramovich was speechless for a moment and could only signal to the coaching staff behind him to ask them to record it.
Three days is neither long nor short.
If you only train with yourself these three days, the improvement will be very small.
A good system must be developed with suitable opponents, so the advantages of LPL participating teams have emerged again.
"Huh? Broiler, they already have a date with someone? Who is it?"
"It seems to be RNG and the others"
EDG originally wanted to make an appointment with IG today, but after calling them, they learned that they had already made an appointment with RNG first.
The factory director was very angry: "No, their Group C competes on the last day, right? They have more time, why are they still competing with us?"
Zhuang Tian went up and hit the heart with a black tiger: "Why why, why do you have so many people? You don't know what RNG is like? LCK is their opponent, and so are we! In their eyes, there are only champions, no allies!"
Sister control: "What should we do? Make an appointment with Crystal and the others again?"
Abu: "The Snakes have also made an appointment...with WE."
Director: "Okay! Is EDG the least popular emotionally? A team that is not wanted by the LPL? We played the game on the first day, but we couldn't get a date from any team?"
Abu smiled softly: "That's not true, I have appointed the most suitable team for you!"
Factory Director: "The most suitable team? Who is it?"
Abu: "Lao Gan Daddy!"
There is a bit of a love-hate relationship between Lao Gan Daddy and EDG.
They played a training match together at the beginning of the season, and there was a bit of unhappiness between them because of Zhuang Tian's relationship.
Lao Gan Daddy's results this season are not ideal, or in other words they have been going downhill since S5 and have never been ideal again.
But apart from IG and the Snakes, Lao Gan Daddy may be the most suitable training target for EDG at this time.
Because they have IMP in the bottom lane, this man with rat skin!
If their old godfather's condition can be better and they can advance to the World Championship, maybe the myth of S4 will be staged again.
Godfather Abuyo wanted to give IMP some strength to Xiao Zhao and pass on some of his world championship experience to him.
As for the top swordsman, he may be Zhuang Tian's best training target.
Of course, there is another very important person, that is the junior disciple!
The younger brother was a little less confident after losing to SKT. If Wei Shen can give him a special training at this time, maybe the younger brother's performance in the second round can save the team in a critical moment.
But before the training match started, bad news came from Lao Gan Daddy.
"Ah? The flat team, why can't we fight?"
"We have no mid laner left and are in a state where we say we can't fight."
"If you can't fight in the old state, let Wei Shen come!"
"Wei Shen also said he didn't want to play and he was ready to retire."
"Retirement. Then you can help us with some training before retiring! Just one afternoon!"
Hirano Aya's sigh came from the other end of the voice: "Anyway, I can't persuade him. Otherwise, if I pull him into the voice, you can persuade him."
When Wei Shen joined the team's voice chat, after some exchanges, everyone learned that he was ready to retire and did not plan to touch the league again.
No matter how much the factory director tried to persuade them, this batch remained indifferent.
Until Zhuang Tian shouted: "If you don't touch games, don't you even touch girls?"
In one sentence, Wei Shen instantly became energetic!
Wei Shen: "Brother, what this means is"
Zhuang Tian: "Help us play training matches, and I'll introduce you to girls!"
Wei Shen: "Seriously?"
Zhuang Tian: "I'll contact you now"
The factory director and others were stunned by Zhuang Tian's operation. Just give it to them?
Zhuang Tian directly dialed the phone in front of everyone
"Hey, Sister Fang? Yes! It's me, Xiaotian. Didn't you say you wanted to find someone before? Do you want a young guy who plays games?"
"Hey! Oh my God? I want it! At my age, it's good that the young man doesn't dislike her!"
Wei Shen was excited at first when he heard the voice, but when he heard the voice, he collapsed again and asked: "Brother, are you a girl?"
Zhuang Tian: "It's a girl! A big girl!"
Wei Shen: "How big is it?"
Zhuang Tian: "More than 40."
Wei Shen: "Why the hell do you call a girl over 40 a girl?"
Zhuang Tian: "Shh! I'm on speakerphone..."
The conversation between Zhuang Tian and Wei Shen was all heard by Sister Fang on the other end. Sister Fang was also straightforward and said: "Little brother, don't worry, if you think I am not suitable, we, mother and daughter, will find her!"
"Hiss!!" Everyone took a breath of cold air and lamented that Wei Shen was such a bad guy.
Wei Shen suddenly became excited, and even pictures began to form in his mind...
Until Sister Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mom!!"
For a moment, Wei Shen's brain shut down.
Wei Shen was eventually retained.
The reason is: Don’t worry about whether it succeeds or not, just tell me whether I introduced it to you, right?
Wei Shen was about to cry, but finally vented all his emotions on this sad Summoner's Rift.
Three days passed quickly.
The second round of the group stage is finally coming!
In this Summoner's Canyon, the chilling atmosphere becomes more and more intense!
"Is it finally coming?!"
