On the evening of October 15th,
In a luxurious restaurant with a private dining room,
"Oh oh oh, let's all cheer together to celebrate the first time in our LPL history that three teams have entered the group stage together!!"
"Cheers, cheers,"
"Peng~"
The noisy tavern has been officially booked by LPL to celebrate the three teams entering the quarterfinals.
This is also an unprecedented feat. Among the top eight, there are three domestic teams, three cold country teams, and the remaining two European and American teams.
Especially rng and we are the number one seeds in their respective groups!
After two years of dark season,
lpl has finally ushered in the harvest moment. Online masturbation friends can really confidently say, "This is our most promising year."
"Contestant Su Chen, Contestant Su Chen, I am your fan, can I invite you to take a photo?"
"Su Bao!! Auntie has watched you grow up all the way, you will never reject us, right?"
"Come on, come on..."
"Uh...well..."
Looking at Su Chen, he was like a piece of Tang Monk meat, being touched and pinched among the smiling female fairies...
Looking down at the braised pork in the bowl, Lin Weixiang burst into laughter, holding his head in envy and wailing, "Can the gap between people not be so big?"
"Haha, player Lin Weixiang, you are playing for the Triple Crown after all. It is enough to suppress FNC, the number one seed in Europe and America, to advance."
Mistakenly thinking that Lin Weixiang was suffering from losing the game, Wawa took a sip from his wine glass, put his arm around his shoulders, and comforted him: "In the past few years, if our team could make it to the group stage without any accidents and securely advance to second place, I would be thankful to God. Now, how can anyone blame you?"
This is true,
In 2015, the No. 1 seed and No. 3 seed were eliminated in the group stage. In 2016, the No. 3 seed was eliminated in the group stage. The No. 1 and No. 2 seeds only advanced in second place.
Compared with the current situation, it is simply a world of difference.
"I want to experience this kind of happy suffering for the rest of my life."
Miller's nose felt sore, and he sighed, feeling that his years of depression had finally come to an end.
His love for lpl has gone beyond the scope of work.
I will follow the players’ shouts of victory, cries of failure, and grief and indignation after experiencing despair...
Finally... finally...
Let him see the real light this year!
"Player Lin Weixiang, you are all our heroes!"
Miller's eyes were moist and he held Lin Weixiang's hand.
"Wonima, you actually still have stickers?!"
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the flowers behind Miller. Lin Weixiang's eyes were split open, and jealousy made him look beyond recognition.
Looking at Lin Weixiang's red eyes, Miller was even more moved and pleased.
Look at how deeply the current players love LPL!
We have a successor! !
"Sisters, the filming is finished, can I leave?"
"Contestant Su Chen, do you want to stay here and eat together?"
"No, no, no, I have to watch the draw later."
After that, Su Chen didn't wait for their reply, found an opening, and quickly slipped back into the team.
"Brother Xiang, why are you crying?"
After returning to his seat comfortably, Su Chen inadvertently asked in surprise.
"It's okay, it's spicy."
Lin Weixiang picked up the food with determination.
"All right."
Su Chen picked up a piece of vegetables and put it in his bowl, "Then eat more bitter melon to reduce the heat."
Lin Weixiang: "..."
"My dears, the drawing ceremony for the top eight will begin in 10 minutes, so cheer up!"
Xiaohu's iconic voice reaches everyone's ears clearly.
This also made the restaurant, which was originally relaxed and pleasant, a little more tense.
Currently, the rankings of the four promoted teams are as follows:
Group a: rng, ssg
Group B: skt, nb
Group c: we, g2
Group d: lz, c9
in,
Although ssg was double-killed by rng in the group stage, they still defeated tsm in overtime and advanced to second place.
Among the six teams from China and South Korea, they have been unanimously ranked at the bottom by audiences from both sides.
Of course, the second to last one is nb.
The two teams are inseparable.
As for Group C, g2 accumulated a lot of experience and defeated Flash Wolves in overtime, successfully qualifying for second place.
Group d is also the group with the least suspense.
In 6 games, lz showed strong dominance as the lck's No. 1 seed, almost leading by 5,000 or 6,000 gold in 20 minutes.
】
There are five players at the same position who are at the top of the rankings in various statistics. It is also the only time in history that foreign media are willing to rank SKT at No. 2.
LPL players are still a little lucky that it exists.
If nb is not in the same group as skt, but lz, it will be a lot of fun.
Especially the conflict between Su Chen and Khan. With this kind of buff, it is not an exaggeration to say that whoever loses the game will cause a tsunami of accusations and abuse.
"Look, look, the drawing has begun."
The optimistic Xiao Ming pointed at the screen excitedly.
for a time,
The crowded restaurant became quiet, and everyone held their breath to welcome the lottery ceremony that was about their life and death!
…
"Welcome everyone to watch the draw ceremony for the top eight groups of the 2017 Global Finals. I am the commentator Ren Dong."
Today, Brother Dong is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a glowing face. The three LPL teams have advanced to the top eight, which undoubtedly earned them enough face as a commentator and host.
Therefore, for this joyful moment, the official specially brought the lucky star of lpl's lottery - smile.
have to say,
Even if the three teams advance together, no one in the audience thinks that Piggy’s draw was good.
From that day on,
Zhuzhu's live broadcast room is sprayed every day, but it has also gained a lot of popularity, which is both painful and happy.
"Hello everyone, I'm Smile."
The King waved to the camera and walked to the center of the stage where the lottery balls were placed with a slightly reserved look.
"I hope... I hope you can give me good luck."
Taking a deep breath, the king closed his eyes and took out a purple ball. Without any pretense, he opened it directly in front of everyone.
According to the official lottery rules,
First of all, the opponents of rng in group a are naturally selected, and secondly, the second ssg of this group is eliminated. The opponents they encounter can only be the second seeds of the other three groups.
It is equivalent to choosing one from each of the three teams: nb, g2, and c9.
In the eyes of Royal Family fans, no matter who they fight, they will definitely win!
From the perspective of the players,
"No civil war, no civil war, no civil war!"
Nervously clenching his fists, Xiao Ming muttered something.
Su Chen is his best friend. No matter who wins or loses between the two, he cannot accept it.
"C9 or g2, either one!"
Xiaohu and others had the same idea.
The way Civil War walks, they don't want it!
finally,
Smiling, his chest rose and fell, he made up his mind to twist the colored ball away, and a shadow warrior with a black background and patchwork of white stripes appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"g2!!"
“Nice!!!”
"Hahaha, I think g2 is worse than c9. Brothers, the top four are stable!!"
There were endless sounds of joy, and the rng players clapped their hands excitedly.
Especially the official camera recorded an interesting scene.
When I first saw the g2 team logo,
Xiao Ming, Rang Di and Xiang Guo, who reacted the fastest, smiled very happily.
But Xiaohu, who wanted to laugh, took a peek at the puppy with a dull expression.
The next second,
"Haha, it's g2."
"Ah hahaha, it's g2!!"
The puppy reacted and laughed immediately. Xiaohu followed the rhythm, slapped his thighs with both hands, and laughed so hard that he almost knocked over the chair.
"Haha, when did Li Yuanhao become so abstract?"
"You've got two smiles, you're awesome."
"Is this the deterrent power of the Dog King?"
Some viewers who watched the live broadcast recorded this classic that has been handed down from generation to generation.
The drawing of lots continues,
The king selected the c9 team for skt as the opponent in the semi-finals.
Then the next draw,
It’s about deciding who the last two teams will belong to!
"We're next."
Su Chen exhaled slightly, and the hearts of Wu Xiu and others were also raised.
rng and skt are not within the scope of selection, then we and lz will be their opponents in the quarterfinals!
"Your Majesty, give me some strength!!"
"Give us a taste of the Korean Civil War. Wouldn't it be nice to fight SSG?"
"In this case, wouldn't we and nb also have a civil war?"
"You know what the heck, if you fight a civil war, you can at least make it to the top four. If you really have to compete with two Korean teams, maybe everyone will be left in the cold!"
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm afraid it's you nb who will be the one who gets the cold shoulder. In our current state, which second seed will we play differently?"
The ones who are most secure in Diaoyutai are our fans.
The league is considered a bitter enemy for nb, and they were eliminated in the spring and summer splits to win the championship.
As for ssg, they played poorly in the group stage and were in surprisingly poor condition, so they were obviously not difficult to deal with.
on the screen,
The king also swallowed nervously and took out the third yellow ball.
The blue and white icons come into view,
We’s opponent in the top eight: ssg team!
This also means,
nb's opponent will be the 'lz' team, which is recognized as the number one in various lists so far!
"Dragon Balls?"
The restaurant, which was originally full of joy, fell into silence after thinking of nb's opponent, as if you could hear a pin drop.
"Dragon Ball, the NBA top four are going to fight against Dragon Ball!"
"I think they are in danger..."
"Originally, it was okay to lose. After all, we are the No. 1 seed in LCK, but now Su Chen and Khan have a big feud. Oh no, it should be a holiday with our players all over the country. We have to lose..."
"Then you have to scold me!"
More or less people in the restaurant were quietly looking at the nb team members with different expressions, some showing pity and some worrying.
"Xiaochen, you guys..."
Xiao Ming's worries were palpable.
"Don't worry, among these No. 1 seeds, the one we want to win most is actually Dragon Ball."
Su Chen's relaxed smile turned into a forced smile in the eyes of everyone.
They are the number one team in the world. Who here wants to meet the hot Dragon Ball?
I noticed that the atmosphere was really weird.
"Coach, what happened to your food?"
Su Chen asked.
"Oh, I'm full, I'm sorry everyone, now that the draw has been made, we also need to go back and study some strategies, so we'll say goodbye first."
Chris reacted and quickly stood up to apologize to everyone and say goodbye.
He also understood what Su Chen meant,
If you sign this, nb will sit here and others will not be able to continue to have a good meal.
In a blink of an eye,
The nb team members looked as usual, stood up one after another, and gradually disappeared outside the door under the not so bright light. In the eyes of everyone, they looked a bit sad.
"Oh, nb is in trouble."
There were sighs one after another in the restaurant. Looking at his friend's red eyes, Wawa reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Miller, be more open-minded, there is nothing you can do about it."
"At least nb still has a few brushes. In fact, in my opinion, this is a good sign."
"Why is it so easy to sign?"
Miller asked blankly.
"Why do you say it's a good signing? I just hope nb will print out lz's stuff and clear some obstacles for rng and we."
Wawa smiled and explained: "If the time comes, whether rng wins or we wins, the championship will have 1/3 of nb's contribution, don't you think?"
Miller: "..."
I'm such a jerk to you!
…
at the same time,
The lck team, which also paid attention to the lottery ceremony, also had different expressions, whether they were happy or worried.
A Korean cuisine restaurant type,
"Want to play the C9 team?"
Kuma's expression moved slightly, and his eyes signaled an analysis assistant to take the notebook he handed over.
There are player notes recorded in advance.
[Top order] Impact: Heroes that are good at using include Weapon, Galio, Big Tree, and other blue-collar heroes. They were once the main force for SKT to win the championship.
[Jungle] tractz: He is good at using heroes such as Leopard Girl and Prince, and he uses them well. He performs well in carry junglers and often puts a lot of pressure on his opponents.
[Mid laner] Jensen: Jensen is the core character of c9, good at Clockwork, Syndra and Snake.
[adeaky: He is good at hero Yuka, and his performance in Xiaopao is also good. Sneaky likes to try new things and is a loyal fan of new games. He is always full of curiosity, such as being called a jokester and a cross-dressing boss. The level in recent years has been relatively stable.
[Auxiliary] Smoothie: Smoothie is good at heroic women and bull heads, and is the most stable among the first players in the North American region.
It is precisely because of the professionalism of the coaching staff that SKT has always maintained great competitiveness.
Looking at them one by one, the buckle horse was very satisfied, until he came across a special hobby of the shooter sneaky, his expression became a little stiff.
"Bang, remember, when you encounter c9, stay away from the shooters on their team, do you hear me?"
"Why? Coach?"
Chewing kimchi, Bang looked confused.
"Because I'm afraid something will happen to you!"
…
In a messy base full of instant noodles,
"We... a difficult opponent... home... a cunning enemy!"
Looking at the nervous and low mood of the team members, Coach Jin waved his hand, "Go back and have a good sleep. Get up tomorrow and continue to train according to my requirements. Don't think about anything else. Don't care about anything. You just need to know, coach. I will lead you to win!"
"Na!"
The whole team finally cheered up a bit.
If the former is easy and the middle one is like facing a powerful enemy, then the latter...
"nb? Hahaha!! We finally caught him!!"
In a Haidilao private room, harsh and crazy laughter could be heard.
When seeing the light blue nb team icon,
khan felt like tears were about to burst out of his eyes.
Great!
Very good! !
Feeling the cool breeze on his head, Khan gritted his teeth ferociously, with vicious hatred flashing in his eyes.
"Xinhuo, just wait for me!
I will prove it in front of players all over the world,
4ese, can never win the game! ! "
