This year’s quarter-finals will be played twice a day.
6pm and 10pm domestic time.
If the first BO5 is full, the second BO5 will start at almost ten o'clock.
The fight started just after midnight, and it had to last until midnight anyway. It was still a bit uncomfortable at this time.
But considering the time difference, this is already a very good time.
It’s much better than getting up in the middle of the night to watch the game.
And for those who like to watch e-sports, there is a high probability that they stay up late.
It's still weekend time, so there's no problem staying up late at night to watch the game.
On October 26th, two LPL teams will compete.
EDG's game is tomorrow, probably because it's so popular.
IG and FPX will be playing on the 26th.
At six o'clock, everyone will see the game between IG and Griffin.
To be honest, this game is definitely much more exciting than the one between FPX and the European Snakes.
But this must be taken into consideration by the organizer.
This is the home court of Europe, so there is nothing wrong with arranging the games of European teams later.
In the evening time of domestic time, it is slightly later in Europe, which is just convenient for everyone to watch the game.
Moreover, the first game is a big move between China and South Korea. At 6 o'clock in China, fans from both countries can watch the game without pressure.
After the game is over, there will be no Korean team in the second game. They can go to bed if they want. There is no need to stay up late.
Today's two games, the entire EDG team was watching in the hotel training room.
Mainly, if these four teams want to compete, EDG will not have any training games to play.
The remaining teams are all in the same zone as him.
After entering the knockout rounds, those in the same half zone will not be scheduled for training matches.
It’s normal for the game to reach this point that there are fewer and fewer training matches.
The first game was better to watch, IG played against Griffin.
The plot of this game is similar to what Su Can had in mind.
Although Prince Ning has not yet reached the stage of being laid to rest, the blind monk is still as excited as ever.
When Viper came down from the game, he saw the prints of Ning Wang's size 45 AJ shoes on the back of the uniform.
Of course, Viper's performance is not considered a war criminal, and there are times when it is very impressive.
Apart from the fact that Garen didn't have any effect in the first game, he was still very strong when playing Xayah and even got five kills.
The biggest problem is still on the road.
The shy man blasted him with an angel.
There was no suspense in the final game, IG successfully defeated Griffin 3:1.
After winning this game, I directly broke the defense of Korean fans.
Damn it, someone else’s No. 3 seed directly gave us the No. 2 seed to win?
After bragging for a long time, everyone ranked first in the group, but in the end, he was fucked by someone who was second in the group.
It's simply unacceptable.
The team of Griffin is really not on the stage.
I was highly praised before in China, but when I entered the finals, I was severely beaten and never won a championship.
Sure enough, it is really hard to believe that such a young team came to the World Championship.
At the critical moment, it is unreliable.
Originally, Korean fans were suspicious of them.
I feel like they can't beat G2. G2MSI has beaten SKT, so it's normal that they can't beat them.
As a result, the group stage turned out to be strong and won the first place in the group, which made everyone temporarily believe it again.
Now it seems that it is really not as good as qualifying second in the group.
When it was FPX's turn to play the European Snakes, Su Can didn't even bother to watch.
Basically there is no suspense.
After the FPX group stage, the state is still good.
It's just that I didn't adjust well at the beginning and got fucked by SKT.
After awakening, FPX played the European Snakes, and overall it was relatively easy.
We got off work directly at 3:0. In the home court of the European audience, FPX was indeed a bit disrespectful.
The audience at the scene was disappointed, but they also knew that they could not beat normal.
The European Snakes can qualify first in the group this year, which is already a performance that exceeds expectations.
If they are given the second place in the group, the opponents they draw will not be easy to beat. In short, they will not be able to reach the top eight.
The next day, October 27th.
But today's game is different from yesterday's arrangement.
The focus war between China and South Korea is set at ten o'clock in the evening.
Because not only fans from their respective countries want to watch these two teams, but European and American fans also like to watch them.
There is no way, SKT is still the most popular team in the world, bar none.
After EDG won the championship last year, Su Can also attracted many fans around the world due to his personal reasons.
But if you really want to compare with the Triple Crown winner, it is still far behind.
Feike has almost become a symbol of this game.
If you want to talk about playing this game, there are very few people who don’t know Feike.
In terms of personal popularity, Su Can and Feike are both very high in the world.
Today these two people are going to face each other, and it will be a head-on confrontation in the middle.
Which country do you think fans are not interested in?
Anyone who has the habit of watching games will definitely be very interested.
The popularity is here, and the organizers should consider the time of European and American audiences.
If we put it at this time in the evening, maybe we can break the cleanup record. This is Riot's idea, so it is arranged like this.
And today here in Europe happens to be Saturday.
They all have a day off, so it's not inconvenient to watch the G2 game at noon.
Working overtime on weekends is very rare here.
In the first quarter-final, G2 faced DWG.
Like Griffin, DWG, the future world champion, is also very immature this year.
Su Can has watched this game and knows it well.
The G2 team, when it comes to the Bo5 competition, is completely different from what it was in the group stage.
I stopped doing it, it was so much fun, and I took away the DWG directly at a score of 3:1.
After this loss, all the sticks fell silent.
Galen whispered, his silence breaking his guard.
A few days ago, when all three Korean teams qualified first in the group, the Koreans were so excited that they shouted that the LCK was back.
Looking at it now, it seems that it is not as good as last year.
The most unacceptable thing is that these two teams can just forget it if they lose, and they lose quite miserably.
It shows that the first place in this group is nothing.
Apart from the European audience, the happiest ones are of course the domestic fans.
As long as the Korean team is excluded, even if G2 is not the home team, everyone will still be as happy as ever.
At the end of the group stage, the Koreans were so awesome, are they still screaming now?
For this reason, the next quarter-final game is very important.
As long as EDG can win and enter the semi-finals, then there will be three LPLs and three semi-finals.
If fans liked to fantasize in the past, there is really hope that it will come true.
However, EDG is still the most stable one, and the probability of losing the chain is low.
Su Can had already spoken out. What did everyone have to worry about? They were already waiting to start celebrating.
The Koreans are really starting to get nervous.
Even the repertoire of scolding Su Can can no longer continue. Even if Su Can looked down on SKT before the game, he is not in the mood to scold him now.
Everyone is worried about what if SKT is really gone.
If they are really eliminated, the last hope of the LCK will be gone.
Reality has proved that their Korean division is now garbage.
Moreover, there is not a Korean team in the semi-finals, which seems to be the first time in history.
In the original time and space, this situation happened last year.
But because of Su Can, the world has changed. KT still reached the semi-finals last year.
Even like that, it created the worst record in the LCK.
You must know that before, the top four and three Korean teams were the basic operations.
If there is no Korean team, then the World Championship will end early.
They have to go through the same treatment that LPL received in the past.
In a tense and worried mood, Koreans began to cheer for SKT crazily.
There is a reason why we have to win this game today.
"Welcome to everyone who is still watching our Worlds quarterfinals at this late hour."
Today’s three commentators are the three great Onmyoji of the canyon.
After the senior colonel finished announcing the game in the middle, Cat King joked: "It's just today's game, I have to watch it no matter how late it is."
"I would like to call it the World Series Spring Festival Gala."
"Hahaha…"
The Cat King made a speech that made the other two people laugh.
The second brother also took over: "It's true. Ever since the draw came out, I believe countless people have been looking forward to this game."
"Now, he is finally coming!"
"The battle between OhYes and Feike will be the highlight of this game."
"Let's first take a look at the comparison between the two teams in this World Championship."
"Forehead…"
Generally before the start of the game, data comparison charts between teams and players are posted.
As a result, such a comparison embarrassed the three LPL commentators.
I didn't expect the data gap between the two teams to be so big.
When looked at together, it's hard to imagine that the two teams would be on the same level.
Because EDG played in the group stage, the data couldn't be that good.
SKT's group stage was very stable, losing only one game and successfully ranked first in the group.
The data is naturally much better looking.
Although everyone knows that Su Can started in this game, the current EDG is different from the one shown in the data.
But they still have to analyze the data, which is a link that cannot be omitted in the work, which is a bit uncomfortable.
The subsequent player data comparison chart did not show the mid laners.
Logically speaking, the focus is on the middle lane. Normally, data charts should be given to the two players in the middle lane.
But Su Can didn't play much in the group stage.
After playing one game in six games, that data has no reference value at all.
The officials obviously know this, so let’s compare it to other players.
The three people analyzed it for a while, and then the game started.
Fortunately, the last game ended quickly, so we could start on time at 10pm.
"In the first game, SKT had the priority to choose the side, and they took the initiative to choose the blue side."
SKT is first in the group, and they naturally have the right to choose sides in the BO5.
I guess I have been studying EDG a lot in the past few days, and I feel that it is not worthwhile to forcefully choose the red side, because only the blue side will output BP points.
In this version, the winning rate of the blue side is obviously several percentage points higher.
A few percentage points sounds good, but if it is a sample of hundreds of singing competitions, it is still of great reference value.
EDG has already made plans to start regular BP.
From the beginning, there was no selection.
On the other hand, the hero Titan has been dealt with by SKT. It is obvious that he has studied it and does not want EDG to sway.
After selecting the first three players, EDG still has mid laner and support to choose from.
"Are you sure you want to play like this? If you are sure, I will choose it?"
EDG is currently in the team's voice and still communicating.
It was obvious that Su Can wanted to play something sexy and make it difficult for his teammates to stop him.
Old teammates don't care, they are used to Su Can's style.
But it was Gala who selected people on the fourth floor, and he was in a panic now.
After receiving double confirmation from Su Can and the factory director, Gala pressed the lock button.
"It's locked. It's actually a cat assistant."
When I saw this hero, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"I thought EDG would make up for a group start, but I didn't expect it to be a cat."
"If the cat cooperates with the wheel mother, the pushing speed is actually not bad."
"SKT chose Syndra in the middle!"
When it was SKT's turn to select players, they got Syndra in the middle.
Feike's Syndra is the owner of the champion skin, so there's not much to say.
It's just that Feike didn't play this hero in the six games of the group stage.
Now he took it out suddenly. Apart from the lineup factor, he probably didn't want Su Can to use it.
In the first game after his comeback, Su Can used Syndra, which surprised many people at the time.
The match against JT in the World Championship group stage was Su Can's only World Championship match so far this year, and he also used this hero.
Compared to the wandering Syndra in the LPL, the Syndra who Su Chan beat JT was obviously much more violent.
"Let's see what hero OhYes wants to play."
Now all eyes are turning to EDG. Everyone wants to see what kind of hero Su Can will come up with in the counter position.
Korean and European commentators are still analyzing what Su Can will choose.
This is what casters do, they have to show their understanding of the game when selecting players.
If you are chosen, it will be quite a sense of accomplishment.
The mature LPL commentator didn't talk about selecting players at this time.
He simply said to see what Su Can would get, and didn’t say anything about predictions.
They knew better that Su Can might get a hero that was unexpected and impossible to guess.
"ah?"
Although the three of them were mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be confused when they saw the hero EDG on the fifth floor.
What the hell is Galen?
Galen did play in the World Championship this year, but unfortunately he didn't win.
Gallen and Cat are considered a black technology, and the combination in the bottom lane is still disgusting.
With Cat's retention and acceleration, it would be very difficult for Galen to catch up and fight.
Except for this special combination, there is no way for the hero Garen to play.
Their first reaction was, EDG is going to play swing again?
Let Garen and the cat go to the bottom lane, and then the hero selected before runs to the middle lane.
No wonder they have to choose a cat on the fourth floor. This is EDG's consistent operation.
But if you take a closer look at the AD hero you just selected, there is something wrong.
Isn’t this a wheel mom?
How can a hero like Wheel Mom go to the middle to fight Syndra?
It all sounds very abstract.
After thinking about this, the three people looked at each other, you looked at me and I looked at you.
There was some shock in the other person's eyes.
This Galen seems to be really on target.
