In the following games, EDG performed well in the group stage.
However, they lost to SKT in the second week.
The SKT team deserves to be a veteran team, and their ability to adjust is very strong.
After losing one game against EDG, they played even better in the second game.
You can even frequently catch EDG's mistakes during the game, and use your perfect operations to expand EDG's mistakes.
So it slowly snowballed.
…
As the group stage progressed, SKT and EDG maintained the same score.
In the end, on the last day of the group stage, both sides had a record of 4-1.
Although both teams have already qualified, with the same score and outcome, they need an extra game to decide who will emerge first.
For clubs and players, the gap between first place and second place is quite big.
After all, ranking first means that you are the strongest in the group, and your subsequent opponents will also change.
This battle has attracted much attention, and everyone is watching.
As the last game of AHQ was played, the popularity of the official live broadcast room began to rise crazily.
Yes, everyone is waiting for the last game of today.
The ultimate decisive battle between EDG and SKT in the group stage!
The EDG players had already arrived in their lounge early.
SKT is undoubtedly a strong opponent for them.
Although they won the first set against SKT before, the second set ended in a disastrous defeat.
This is not good news for their entire team, and even the poor performance in the second set caused the players to feel unconfident.
This is a taboo in competitions, and players will inevitably be affected if they are not confident.
Unexpectedly, Abramovich did not put too much pressure on the players this time.
"It's the last game of the group stage. Let's play according to our own ideas and don't put too much pressure on it."
"Don't forget that we have already qualified. Anyway, no matter whether we win or lose, we can qualify. You can play whatever you want."
As soon as Abu said these words, the EDG players all widened their eyes.
They really didn't expect Abu to say that.
I originally thought that in order for them to win first place in Group A, Abramovich would give them crazy blood before this kind of game started.
But Abu's operation made the team members confused.
But it is undeniable that after what Abramovich said, the mentality of the EDG players who were originally under great pressure relaxed a lot.
Yes, they have already qualified anyway, so what does first and second place matter?
Due to the strong official promotion, the popularity of the major live broadcast rooms has soared to a terrifying level before the game even started.
Even major anchors have started their live broadcasts.
Of course, everyone wants to take advantage of the popularity at this time, and all those anchors with authority have opened the game screen in their own live broadcast rooms.
The purpose is to better interact with water friends and watch the game at the same time.
As LPL fans, everyone hopes that the LPL team can crush SKT.
There is no way, who has allowed SKT to keep the lead in the LPL for so many years.
It seems that every time at a critical moment, LPL teams always stumble against SKT.
"Come on, come on, who do you guys like in this last game? I still think SKT has a higher winning rate."
"Are you a human being upstairs? You don't support my EDG, right? I think you don't want to hang out anymore."
"EDG is invincible, but SKT is no longer able to do so. Let's see how EDG can deal with them."
"To be honest, both sides have a chance to win. After all, there are strong players on both sides. Let's see how they perform."
PDD live broadcast room.
As a big anchor, he also has to take advantage of this kind of popularity.
He held an electronic cigarette in his mouth and looked at the barrage.
"Everyone remember to cheer for EDG. This year's EDG is indeed very strong. If they can really defeat SKT in the group stage and get first place in the group, then I feel that this year's EDG will be a semi-finalist at worst."
After PDD said this, the barrage in the live broadcast room became lively.
"Hey guys, can we only get to the semi-finals by defeating SKT? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? Now SKT is scrappy?"
"I think there is nothing wrong with what PDD said. Look at the other two teams in the LCK. They are both very strong. They have never lost in the group stage."
"Indeed, I feel that Group A is a bit more competitive. The other two LPL teams haven't won much against the LCK. The gap is still quite big."
"Just support EDG and that's it. No matter how well we play, we've already qualified."
Luwei live broadcast room.
He was discussing with his younger brother Ma Fei.
"What do you think of today's game? Which side do you favor?"
Ma Fei touched his chin and said thoughtfully for a moment.
"I feel it still depends on the performance of the key players on both sides, one is Faker and the other is Brother Ye. It also depends on what position Brother Ye will play in this game."
Hearing what Ma Fei said, Lu Wei nodded. His thoughts were similar to Ma Fei's.
This kind of game depends on the performance of the core players on both sides.
The water friends in the live broadcast room were also discussing at this time.
"It's still very difficult for EDG to win against SKT. Didn't you see how badly they were beaten in the second set?"
"I feel that SKT has figured out EDG thoroughly. In today's game, EDG is hanging."
"Come on, all we can do is cheer up."
"EDG must win and that's it. I wonder who doesn't support EDG."
As the music on the scene changed, the two teams also walked out of the lounge.
After arriving at the special channel for players, the camera began to scan over the faces of the players.
It can be seen that the players of both teams are in good condition and look quite relaxed.
The camera turned to the commentary box.
Doll Miller and Gugu are today's commentators, and they have been waiting for the camera.
When the director said that the camera had been given to them, they started their opening remarks.
After a series of advertisement announcements, Wawa said with a smile.
"Everyone must be looking forward to today's game as much as I do. The battle for first place in Group A. Whoever can win this game will be the top of Group A."
Miller chimed in.
"That's right, and the two teams were 1-1 in the previous games. Each team won a set. This also shows that they are both likely to win today's game. In my opinion, the players are in very good condition today. important."
Gu Gugu echoed.
"Just looking at the camera, the players from both teams are in good spirits. Who do you think can win today?"
As soon as Gugu said these words, the two people around him were obviously stunned for a moment.
Good guy, this is the commentary booth at the game.
If it were the second lane commentator, they might still say that SKT would win, but how dare they say that now.
"I think EDG can win today's game. EDG is in good shape recently."
"I think so too. EDG's winning rate should be higher."
Hearing this comment, Remember and Guan Zeyuan, who were at the second commentary booth, laughed out loud.
"This awesome operation made the audience embarrassed. As an LPL commentator, who dares to say that SKT can win? If you say so, you won't be beaten to death."
Guan Zeyuan said while suppressing a smile.
"This is what I dare not say on the court. Although I am famous for being a poisonous person, but to be honest, judging from the previous matches between the two sides, SKT's winning rate is indeed higher. It depends on whether EDG can I can withstand it.”
The second-line commentary script is a place where you can speak freely. At this time, Guan Zeyuan naturally dared to speak freely.
On the stage, as the commentators finished their analysis, the BP picture appeared on the big screen.
EDG took the lead in banning Wushen, Zhumei and Kalista.
SKT banned Galio, Ryze and Grain Barrel.
When fans saw Su Ye sitting in the mid lane position, they were very excited.
Everyone wants to see Su Ye and Faker face off.
"I'm finally here. Brother Yezi is facing off against Faker. This is Faker in the global finals. Complete."
"Okay, this is the game I want to watch. EDG still understands us. The laning in the middle will be exciting."
"I don't really think Su Ye can defeat SKT in the global finals. Is he really qualified?"
"I feel like there is a chance. Brother Yezi still has the strength, but whether he can win or not depends on his performance."
Selection stage.
EDG took Xayah first.
This hero IBoy is very proficient and is the number one ADC choice in the current game. He will definitely not suffer a loss if he takes down the bottom lane.
SKT reacted quickly.
Xayah is strong, but Rakan isn't bad in this version either.
Since these two heroes have been released, they will default to each other. It is impossible for both of them to be taken by one team.
If that were the case, it would be all over for the other side.
After taking down Rakan, SKT took down Zach again.
The hero Zach is Xiao Hei’s signature hero, and his Zach has always been very good.
Even in LCK games, Xiaohei's Zac is always in the ban position.
Seeing this, EDG once again took down the excavator and Feng Nu.
The hero Excavator is also one of the factory director’s favorite heroes, and his proficiency is naturally very high.
When facing Zack, heroes like Excavator are not timid.
As for Feng Nu, what this hero prevents is sudden advances.
If the enemy chooses Luo, Feng Nu can produce a good counterattack.
The ultimate can negate Rakan's entry, and it can also make Zac's rush less effective.
To put it bluntly, I chose Feng Nu just for protection.
In the third hand, SKT defeated the Mouse again.
The combination of Rat and Luo in the bottom lane is very strong, and Luo starts the team with Rat doing long-range damage.
Once this combination transitions to the late stage, it will be very difficult to fight.
After the first round of lineup selection, the second round of hero ban selection begins.
EDG continued to ban the Enchantress and Snake Girl in the middle.
These two heroes are Faker's signature heroes, so naturally they cannot be given to Faker easily.
Everyone knows that the key to playing SKT is to restrict faker in the middle. If faker is not allowed to play comfortably, the rest of SKT will naturally not be comfortable either.
SKT continued to ban Crocodiles and Trolls.
SKT doesn't want to see these two versatile heroes.
Their top laner, huni, is all about operation. He definitely hopes that the opponent will choose some heroes that can operate with him. Only in this way can he gain an advantage online.
Abramovich will now walk behind the EDG players. He wants to discuss the next selection with the players.
After all, it is very important for the players to be comfortable playing at this time, and their opinions also need to be listened to.
"I feel like Lucian can be given to me. The current version of this hero is very powerful."
Su Ye quickly expressed his thoughts.
In fact, Su Ye didn't choose this hero because he thought he was strong. It was simply because he felt itchy after watching the junior boy play a few games.
He didn't play Lucian much before, but now that Su Ye, who is strong in the middle, doesn't play in the version, he always feels like he's at a loss.
"No problem, I can choose Lucian as the mid laner in this game. The Enchantress and Snake Girl on the opposite side have both been banned."
After Abu heard Su Ye's idea, he glanced at the ban and agreed directly.
Su Ye's game understanding is very recognized by Abu, and there is absolutely no problem for him to choose.
In the fourth hand, SKT took out the top laner Sword Girl.
Huni's Sword Girl has always been good, and she is also one of his signature heroes.
This hero comes out to tell you that if you choose meat to hang out with me, you will be unlucky.
Seeing Huni take out Sword Princess, the commentators on the commentary desk became a little uneasy.
They still know the EDG team very well. The top laner of this team has always been a front-row tank.
But now that SKT is letting top laner Huni take down Sword Princess, it might be difficult to choose a tank.
said the doll.
"It seems that SKT has really studied EDG well. The selection of this Sword Girl will be very detrimental to EDG. I don't know what decisions Coach Abramovich and EDG players will make."
Miller nodded.
"It's really not easy to handle. If Brother Ye is the top laner in this game, I'm not worried that Huni will choose this sword girl to play the top laner. But the top laner in this game is A Guang, so this situation is completely different. ”
"Jian Ji is a good tank player. It depends on how EDG responds."
Sure enough, after EDG saw Huni choose Sword Girl, they started discussing.
"Aguang, what hero do you want to choose this time? I feel that Dashu may not be able to beat Sword Girl."
"Indeed, how about Kled, but Kled doesn't seem to be easy to fight. I feel like you were beaten by Conte."
Just when everyone felt it was difficult to deal with, Su Ye spoke.
"Choose a tank to produce meat. I can help you with this game, Aguang. You don't have to worry too much. I highly recognize your ability to withstand pressure online, no problem."
Su Ye's words made A Guang, who was a little unsure at first, instantly become confident.
If someone else said this to him, Aguang would probably just laugh it off, but if this person was Su Ye, it would be completely different.
Su Ye is recognized by everyone as the strongest player in EDG.
And the most important thing is that Su Ye really likes to help.
Every time Su Ye plays in the middle and jungle, that is when A Guang feels most comfortable.
Not for anything else, just because Su Ye likes to help on the road. Su Ye will choose to go on the road whenever there is a chance.
"Okay, then I'll choose Sion. I can't wait for you to defeat me in this game."
With Su Ye's words, A Guang finally figured it out.
Anyway, it would definitely be uncomfortable for him on the road, so he might as well choose his best teammate and wait for him.
He still trusts Su Ye very much.
Seeing that Su Ye was good at talking, Abu directly chose Sain for A Guang.
EDG took down Lucian in their fifth move.
After SKT saw Lucian, they thought about faker taking down the Clockwork Demon.
Clockwork is also Faker's signature hero. When he doesn't know what to choose, he will always choose Clockwork.
This can be regarded as a versatile mid-lane choice, and you can't go wrong.
On the commentary stage, everyone began to look forward to seeing Su Ye picking Lucian.
They have seen a lot of junior Lucian, and to be honest, he didn't play very well, and he couldn't exert his suppressive power.
He has often been criticized by the audience, but Su Ye's selection this time has raised the expectations of fans.
