Chapter 136: Vietnamese prisoners come out! The whole network is in turmoil! The group stage is comi
Chapter 136: Vietnamese prisoners come out! The whole network is in turmoil! The group stage is coming to an end!
After three days of rest, the finals battle is reignited!
During these three days, the teams had no time to rest and were all busy with intensive training.
The first round of the group stage is like the "preseason" of the World Championship, allowing all teams to officially clash with strong opponents, understand each other's interpretation of the version, and then make improvements.
This is also the biggest difference between the S League and other international competitions.
The tighter the schedule, the less room the coaching staff has to play.
Because even if a lot of information can be discovered on the spot, most contestants do not have enough time to adapt and practice!
MSI is one of such events. It uses a very mature version and the outcome is decided by who is stronger in one game.
But a schedule like the S game lasts for more than a month, and it is a brand new version.
It can be called a "long-term war"!
Any breakthrough in understanding the version may determine the outcome of a bo5 match, allowing the team to move forward one step, and then another step!
Unlike the first round of the group stage, in the second round of the group stage, all matches within a group will be held every day, and the qualifying results of the group will be given directly.
In other words, every team must play three games a day at least!
Compared to the first round, it is a completely different competitive environment.
Energy comes second.
It’s mainly a matter of on-the-spot adjustment.
If you lose the first game and expose your broken butt to your opponent, the rest of the enemies in the group will most likely follow your example and kick your good leg hard!
The team's morale may also collapse in the wake of consecutive defeats!
Even if there is no "internal conflict", it is common for the voice to directly transform into Silent Hill!
This is how FPX was sent away from Iceland last year.
It is worth mentioning that Group A, where EDG is located, was officially arranged to play on the last day. Perhaps the official also discovered that the most popular match in the group stage was between EDG and T1, so they made special arrangements.
On the first day, the first match to be held was Group C, where TES was located.
In the first game, Rugged defeated GAM without any pressure.
In the second game, TES continued to fight against GAM with almost no pressure.
"Come on, Brother Topbo! Fight till you win without any regrets!"
"They should be able to easily win this first game, right? This draw is pretty good. Let's play Vietnam first to warm up our hands!"
"I saw Shuizige say in an interview: 'They will not lose a single game until they advance!'"
"Hmm? Xiaotian seemed to have heard someone say this last year."
The EDG team gathered to watch the second round of the match between the two sides.
During the three days of the off-season, Ye Bo mainly carried out coaching work.
However, Ye Bo, who was concentrating on studying BP and versions, felt something was a bit strange from the beginning of BP in this game.
"Their BP seems a bit random"
"What do you mean, Master Ye?" Jiejie asked curiously.
Ye Bo opened his notebook and said, "Look, GAM's jungler Levi is a well-known jungler. He has been playing Lee Sin and Graves throughout the group stage. But TES, who are already in a tight ban situation on the red side, actually banned his Sejuani!"
After verification in the group stage, it is true that Sejuani is still the strongest version.
Although its stability and upper limit are not as high as that of Maokai, its team-opening methods and stamina are stronger than Maokai, so other teams will indeed ban it.
But if you understand the characteristics of the opponent's jungler, you will know that the opponent will definitely not actively choose it, which is simply a waste of the ban position.
"Master Ye, you even studied the spicy food of the Vietnamese team!?"
Listening to Ye Bo's endless narration, Brother Saint Spear looked surprised.
Everyone was a little surprised, and they leaned over curiously to look at Ye Bo's notebook full of handwriting.
The Vietnamese team lost 0-3 in the first round, which clearly showed that they were the inexperienced team in Group C.
Not to mention other groups, I guess even the other three teams in Group C may not study it seriously!
"We definitely have to study our opponents in the World Championship. After all, there is still a chance that we can qualify."
"And it's not just TES, GAM's bans are also a bit strange, they actually banned Caitlyn and Left Hand's Tsar"
When Ye Bo said this, he suddenly realized more clearly the difference between these wildcard teams and the Korean teams.
Not just the operational level.
If we talk about TES’s ban, it can also be said that they “underestimate” their opponents tactically.
But there is definitely no reason for GAM to underestimate TES.
Then the only possibility for this BP is that the opponent's {pre-war information} and {BP research} levels are really too low!
On the first day of the group stage, T1 had already discovered the BP problems of the LPL teams, but they "lost the bet" against EDG, the only team that had not banned Caitlyn. However, they had successfully analyzed the fact that the other three LPL teams could not choose Caitlyn.
But GAM has already finished the first round of the group stage and then had a three-day off-season.
I still haven’t discovered this!
Not to mention that in the two games that TES lost in the first round, Left Hand happened to choose Tsar. Even with a 0% win rate, he would have banned him. It would have been better to ban Sylas.
"GAM will probably go for Sett first. Then TES will release Luna or Druid."
Ye Bo in front of the screen seemed to be commanding his troops and generals in the cyber world.
He says one, and the live broadcast screen on the field selects one!
"And I remember that the GAM jungler seemed to have a special skill that he hadn't used yet. Oh, it's here, Karthus."
The EDG players were just surprised at first.
Even until the second floor of the Vietnamese team selected the extremely unpopular Karthus jungler, all of them still hit the BP.
Everyone turned their heads as if they had seen a ghost.
"Oh my god, you got them all right!? Master Ye, you are amazing!"
"A time traveler, huh? I caught you!"
"If he's not a time traveler, then he must have been reborn and watched the replay. It's so accurate!"
Ye Bo listened to his teammates' surprise and replied with a smile: "What? The BP of these two teams is really easy to guess. GAM's Wukong can swing between mid, top and support, which is also their unique skill. It is not difficult to guess with a simple team analysis."
He really wasn't reborn.
Of course, don’t think Ye Bo’s words are light.
Except that the BP of these two teams does have some formula.
The fact that he was able to guess so accurately was obviously the result of a lot of hard work.
During the three days of the offseason, Ye Bo reviewed all 24 games of the first round one by one on his own!
It's not the kind of thing you watch at 2x speed.
I really watched every minute of the game carefully, and even slowed down and replayed many scenes several times to guess and understand the other player's intentions.
This is a rather large project. Ye Bo also used the time flow rate of the {Trial Field}, but the process is still very boring.
Fortunately, Ye Bo did benefit a lot!
Even some seemingly unimportant games against weak teams can bring him considerable gains and inspiration.
However, Ye Bo, the BP later, guessed wrong.
"Top Esports should choose Lee Sin or Centaur for the jungler. If that doesn't work, Monkey King and Wei should also be able to play with Graves."
“Hey? Why didn’t Zuo Hand choose Ahri instead of Sylas? If Sylas comes out on the fifth floor, the opponent’s ultimate skill will be really cool!”
Ye Bo didn’t understand Top Esports’ BP.
According to the information he collected, Xiaotian's male gun basically never won.
However, he could probably guess what the other team's coach, White Crescent, was thinking - perhaps he wanted the two teams behind to "think" that they would play Graves, a strong hero in this version, and occupy the BAN spot.
EDG chose the policewoman in the first round for this purpose.
But in the last hand, the opponent had Ornn, Karthus, and Renata, three very good ultimate skills.
The fifth floor of TES wavered for a while, and finally chose the former from between Ahri and Sylas!
Could it be that Zuo Shou is worried that Sylas can’t beat the mid laner Wukong?
No way.
Soon, Ye Bo's judgment on BP came true.
Xiaotian is indeed not suitable for playing this kind of big jungle core.
Because Xiaotian's playing style is that he likes to suddenly skip a group of clearing the jungle and perform speed ganking at an inappropriate time - but this is completely contrary to the jungle core playing style.
Of course, the most important thing is that all the players of TES had some problems in this game. They chose a strong early-game lineup but ended up losing in the early stages, and were even at a disadvantage at one point!
Lvei's unique skill, Karthus, fully demonstrates his unique skill.
Taking into account both map control and development, the team was able to obtain the Earth Dragon Soul in 30 minutes, while also experiencing explosive development!
"The mid-top double tank lineup, Earth Dragon Soul seems to be difficult to beat"
"Fuck, Brother Taobo!"
TES still has some strength.
The original situation was gradually collapsing, and the opponent's late-stage lineup was on the verge of taking over the game.
In the 40-minute Ancient Dragon fight, the team suddenly turned the tide with a burst of skill from all members!
"Beautiful! This can also be turned!!!"
"Top Esports got the key Ancient Dragon! Can we have a wave? It seems like we can have a wave!"
"We've turned the tables! We're going to win!"
The LPL commentary station has already started cosplaying as AC Milan and opened the champagne in advance.
The game had an extremely long resurrection time of forty minutes. All TES members carried the ancient dragon blood and rushed directly from the middle lane, with five people heading straight for the high ground!
To anyone who looked at it, the game was already over.
"Only one survived! Only one survived! It's useless!"
"Wait a minute, Karthus is resurrected too. Oh no! JKL was killed instantly!"
"The base is almost there! Almost there!"
The extremely explosive Karthus was resurrected with a Requiem, howling the souls of the three TES players!
The only remaining assistant, Nami, waved the water staff in her hand helplessly.
Too bad it's just an aid.
A splash of water flew out, and the exposed base still had some health left, but the next moment it was killed by the GAM people rushing out of the fountain.
53 seconds of resurrection time.
53 seconds of despair.
GAM directly counterattacked in one fell swoop, heading straight for the middle lane high ground that had already been pushed down, and rushed towards the crystal.
"Can you stop them?!"
"Wow, congratulations to GAM, they got their first win in this world championship, and they are the second seed of LPL, Top Esports."
“I have to say, this is the charm of unique skills.”
"This lineup of GAM is really the unique skill of all its members. They put on a desperate performance that deserves our praise." The three people on the commentary desk were obviously a little confused, but they were still trying to help cover up as much as possible.
But the live broadcast room exploded instantly.
[I am really sick! I stayed up until 3am to watch the game! You lost to Vietnam! ? ]
[Topsports! Are you worthy of us? rnm! Give us back! ]
[This Team B is really disgusting. Never have any hope in them! Forever, remember I said forever!!!]
【Vietnamese prisoners! Out!!! List!!!】
[Why are you all criticizing Piss King? He is always the fire attractor, right? Didn't you see how powerful Taishou was in this game? Ahri was useless at the start of 2-0. If you had picked Sylas as the last pick, how could you not win? How could Karthus be so cool? ? ]
[It was only a split second away. Why didn't Lucian use his famous sword Sima Ming? It's all my brother's fault! ]
Zuoshou and Xiaotian in the live broadcast room had lifeless eyes. Jack Ai walked out quickly with his big head lifted up while holding the keyboard, leaving only a lonely and desolate red-haired figure to the camera.
No one knows what they will say backstage.
Needless to say, online public opinion.
At the moment of the end, it was like a volcano erupting, and I couldn’t keep up with the new posts!
[This is our Topsports’ ultimate all-Chinese team! Do you have such an all-Chinese team? I’m asking]
[If you keep going like this, you’re going to lose. Damn it, I was just kidding, guys! Why did you take it so seriously?]
【Did TES make it to the top 16? What a shame, what a shame. Oh my brothers, I tell you that this game is really not Xiaotian’s fault. Even if you replace Canyon with Jiejie, you may not win. Oh my, thank you for the airplanes sent by "Congratulations to Xiaotian for making the top "! Thank you for the popularity of "Break up a team in a year"! Thank you, thank you! Boss, you are so generous. Oh, why do you say that about my Xiaotian? I'm not laughing. Don't set the tone, or I'll be attacked again. Oh my, I'll cut a video and post it online. Everyone is scolding me. Wait, you really thought we had a bad relationship! We are good brothers! I like to use his skin the most when I play Lee Sin! 】
[TES team introduction: Although they are in the top nine, their strength is not inferior to the top eight. Their explosive power can rival the top four. If they use the ancient secrets, they can fight against the champion! ]
[BP is clear, top laner Aatrox doesn't know how to play, mid laner Tsar smells weird, bottom laner eats Q and pretends to be a cup, jungler is in a very embarrassing situation————horizontal banner: Arrogance is the original sin! ]
[The key is that Rouge bans Karthus when playing against GAM, why don’t you ban it in TES? Do you look down on other people’s unique skills? ]
[We TES, we have strong top laners, strong junglers, strong mid laners, strong ADs, strong supports, strong coaches, strong tactics, strong decision-making, strong operations, strong awareness, strong laning, strong teamfights, strong solo lanes, strong support, strong snowballing in favorable situations, and strong opportunities in unfavorable situations————in summary, we are the top 16! ]
[No way, although JKL dyed his hair red, he forgot that red-haired people don’t have left hands! ]
[The case has been solved. It was actually Graves' fault. The first wild card captured jungler in history was also lost by Graves! ]
Ye Bo looked at the grand occasions at major forums at home and abroad, which was even more exaggerated than the day they defeated T1.
The impact is indeed not small.
It's not just Tieba, Hupu, and forums, almost every corner of the Internet is discussing and criticizing.
It will probably be reported in domestic newspapers, and some friends in prison will know about it!
The reason why the impact was so great was that in the first game, Rouge defeated GAM and the score was already 4-1.
This defeat of Top Esports has confirmed their elimination from the round of 16!
This is not the first time that LPL lost a wildcard game, nor is it the first time that it reached the round of 16.
But the teams that made the top 16 in previous years at least had real experts in their groups, and even if they were not SKT, they were all in the death group with various championship favorites.
What grouping is this?
The fourth seeds are European pigeons, Vietnam, and a South Korean team!
This is definitely the first time in history that an LPL team was eliminated in the round of 16 due to losing to a wildcard.
The post is pinned to the top, and even includes Ye Bo’s story!
That was an old post that was dug up by a Luoyang shovel, and it was posted at the last game of the summer finals.
Yebo Galio vs. Left Hand Ahri, the last wave.
Galio decisively flashed to start a team fight, but Ahri failed to use the golden body component {stopwatch} that she bought, which was much questioned. She was hit by Galio in the crowd and was killed instantly, ending the game.
At that time, someone posted this scene in the forum and laughed at it.
"It's so funny, is Taishou going to save this table until S12? Then Top Esports is invincible, the mid laner has more protection measures than others, and he can directly book the S championship!"
[I came back from S12, and my left hand is clean! It’s really not his problem, it’s just that the protection measures really don’t work! ]
[I can only say that the governor left it by mistake. Why leave a watch? Leave some swimming trunks, swimming cap, and swimming goggles! These are really useful! ]
[The upper limit of our Top Esports team is like the governor’s child. I heard that there is one, but no one has ever seen it.]
[Master Ye is really to blame. It was all because he picked Galio in this game that he killed Left Hand once. If he hadn't been hit directly, he would have been so scared that he didn't dare to pick Ahri! Foreshadowing! ]
[I am indeed fully responsible! I don’t even dare to choose Dezi when I play for my brother. I owe him a championship! ]
The TES backstage was eerily quiet.
It was already confirmed that we were eliminated, but there were still two games to play, which was obviously the most torturous thing.
Xiaotian was covering his face with snot and tears.
"I really want to hear you guys talking, why is no one talking in the game?"
"Compared to last year, there are no conflicts in our team that cannot be resolved this year!"
As a team that has never had a commander, the ADC was even used as the commander at one point.
Once the team is at a disadvantage in the game, it is easy for the entire team to be silenced or even disappear.
This is still a minor problem in the league and is ignored by them.
But once you get to a place with greater pressure, everyone stops talking and treats the game as a random game, the result will naturally be devastating.
And Top Esports has two games left.
It can also be said that it fully demonstrates the impact of "pressure" and "mentality" on the field.
This was the performance of a team that just lost ugly to a wild-card team.
In the last two games of the World Championship, they took revenge and defeated the two teams, RPG and DRX!
This may be because the opponent has already been confirmed to be out and the result cannot be changed anyway, so he just lets go and plays with better results - of course, it may also be that the opponent has started to "hide things".
DRX obviously played a more conventional game in this game and did not reveal any new things.
In the end, DRX advanced as the first in the group, and RGE advanced as the second in the group.
All matches for the day are over.
The other four members of EDG returned to training, and only Ye Bo was reviewing the game alone.
Mingkai was originally going to be his assistant, but Ye Bo found an excuse to ask him to leave.
Mingkai looked a little aggrieved, thinking he was being "disdained"
Mainly because of the incident of losing the wild card today. He has done it before!
The most exciting one was that game, Mingkai also chose Graves!
Of course, Ye Bo actually just wanted to enter the trial field, conduct a quick analysis, and then seize the time to share his experience with his teammates.
The group stage was held one day after another. Although EDG was ranked last, there were group matches every day.
Their time is also very tight.
After analyzing six games in real time in two hours, Ye Bo called everyone back again.
"Brothers, let me tell you the latest BP situation."
that's it.
After each day’s group match, Ye Bo would immediately share his latest experience of the day with his teammates.
And the next day, JDG was in Group B.
This is almost the group with the least suspense.
JDG's style seemed to be completely restrained by Gen.G.
Samsung's strong point is the personal strength of the two Cs, Chovy in the middle lane and Chidi in the bottom lane. However, JDG's weak point is the personal strength of Toothpaste in the middle lane and Hope in the bottom lane!
Toothpaste was okay, and was able to hold its own in the laning phase, but was completely unable to limit Chovy's development and gave him a good kill, resulting in a positional GAP in the data.
The bottom lane was in a worse situation, it was basically beaten through, the gap in the bottom lane was completely real!
The Everhunters in the top lane were also unable to break through the opponent.
JDG coach Hongmi felt like crying but had no tears in the backstage. He just felt helpless, as if a good cook could not cook without the rice.
He felt that if the bottom lanes were swapped, they would definitely be able to fight!
Fortunately, JDG won the remaining two games steadily and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals as the second in the group.
As for Group D where RNG is located, it is the group with the most intense fighting.
Although DK was in a bad situation, after Canyon was infected, he quickly passed the infection to the entire team. Only Niu Guli, who had been infected in the playoffs, escaped.
The four men went into battle with high fevers.
In the end, they actually defeated RNG!
It can only be said that the strength of the original big turtle in the top, mid and jungle should not be underestimated.
It’s a pity that the debuffs on the four players were too severe, and their operations in the middle and late stages were obviously a little overwhelming. They lost to RNG in the final tiebreak and advanced to the second place in the group.
So far, six of the eight seats have been taken.
The S12 group stage is already 3/4 along and is drawing to a close.
Only the most popular Group A is left!
The night before the game.
The domestic LOL forum was in turmoil.
[LPL No. 3 seed <LCK No. 1 seed, LPL No. 4 seed > LCK No. 3 seed————This feels like it’s done! Really strict hierarchy! ]
[What? Forgot about our No. 2 seed? ]
[We are not very familiar with the people in the sea. Just wait for our No. 1 seed to eat the opponent's No. 2 seed! It's like horse racing! ]
[Excuse me for being blunt, JDG's bottom lane Caitlyn doesn't know how to use it, and their laning ability is terrible. RNG barely got first place by bullying four patients. Why does LPL seem to be a bit leaky this year?]
[I’m actually looking forward to EDG losing, so that the second seed can qualify and potentially get into the quarterfinals with Mr. Dai. I’ve even thought of some trash talk for him————《Deft: “I’ve never led EDG past the quarterfinals, and I won’t this time!”]
[It's true. DRX probably won't have a chance if they don't get into the quarterfinals. They are so lucky to be in the same group with Top Esports. They might even get a No. 1 seed! ]
[I don't understand, why can we open champagne? EDG is playing against T1, and I have the clear advantage now! ]
Day 8 of the group stage.
It's three o'clock in the morning domestic time.
All EDG members set off for Madison Square Garden Theater, ready to put a perfect end to their group match!
