Chapter 181: The draw for the quarterfinals! Some are happy, some are sad! (Subscribe)
After the meeting, GT followed the procedure and shook hands with all SKT members.

It is obvious that their current condition is quite bad.

Even Faker looked a little dejected.

Li Yi thought about it and felt that if SKT was defeated directly in the group stage, the following games would not seem to be interesting.

After all, SKT has always played the role of the final boss of the LPL region. It feels a little lacking without a big battle between China and South Korea in the finals.

I suddenly said, "Come on, I hope to see you in the next game."

Cheng Lu was also translating on the side. After she finished speaking, she saw Jin Gong looking at her with an unhappy expression and made a face.

Didn’t I win in the end? You know, there’s a jungler between the top and mid laners! And I’m the man standing with the mid laner!

Let him do the translation.

Faker nodded after hearing this.

His condition was obviously much better. In fact, Li Yi's words contained a lot of encouragement.

Because according to the rules of the competition, if two teams in the same group can meet again in the future, they can only meet in the finals.

This means that Li Yi hopes to compete with me again in the finals.

Faker quickly adjusted his mindset. How could they be defeated directly in the group stage?

Today's game also exposed many problems.

He also wants to seize this opportunity to make adjustments.

"Don't worry, we will definitely make it to the finals, but I don't know if you can do it."

But saying this in this situation makes people feel a little stiff.

After all, our current record is three bars and three, so we have to play a tiebreaker with AHQ.

After shaking hands, all GT members came to the center of the stage and bowed.

There was enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Too long!

The GT race was really exciting.

I'll just give you a big one.

RNG shut out Samsung, and GT can also shut out SKT!

Given the current state of this year, the two teams are truly invincible.

If they keep it up and perform well in the knockout rounds, they can successfully avoid a civil war. It would be best if they were divided into the upper and lower half zones, so that they might be able to meet in the Bird's Nest.

The audience is very optimistic now.

……

In the post-match interview, Yu Shuang, wearing a blue and white porcelain cheongsam, stood next to Li Yi and said with a smile on her face: "We have invited GT team's mid laner Sease, Sease come and say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I'm Sease."

This is also Li Yi's usual opening remark. After all, there is really nothing much to say when greeting someone.

But the audience was still very considerate and didn't hesitate to use their voices to scream loudly.

If you listen carefully, you can see that quite a few people have broken voices.

"Thank you for being so enthusiastic, everyone. Please take care of your throats." Yu Shuang said with a smile.

It would be fine if you hadn't said this, but once you said it, the noise in the venue became even louder.

"Hahaha, did Xiushen feel everyone's enthusiasm?"

"That's really touching! I hope everyone can continue to have this much fun in the next games."

Then Yu Shuang asked a question that everyone was very interested in.

"Xiu Shen, you picked Kled in today's game. We are all very curious about the circumstances under which you discovered the hero Kled."

This is the first time that the mid-lane Kled has appeared in the World Finals, or it should be said that it has never been used in any region.

"Well, actually I just did some research. This version of the mid lane is more inclined towards support functionality. The first choice is Galio, Ryze, and Taliyah...Tsitan can barely be counted as one."

Since Card's laning ability is relatively poor, he is given priority at the back. If there is Galio or Taliyah, Card will definitely not be picked.

If you don't play for functionality, you can only play the development mage Tsar Clockwork.

If you want to be strong in laning phase, you can only choose Lucian and Tristana. It is true that even after being nerfed, he is still quite strong. He is also the hero of choice of many teams and is very popular.

Of course, heroes like Rumble and Ryze in the top lane have also become more popular.

After all, you have to find a hero to do some AP output, right?
Of course, there are options for the jungle role, such as Karthus and Nidalee, but this is not the jungle core version, and the team will not use tactics in this direction.

But this Spider-Kled system successfully changed some of the current situations in the middle lane.

Top tower diving combination!

In front of Spider-Kled, all heroes will be killed like dogs.

too exaggerated!

Especially in the early stage of the middle lane, the stats are relatively low, and there is really no way to survive by level three.

This would instantly change the position of the middle lane.

You will be beaten down all the way in the early stage, and it seems that it really can't last too long.

"Have you studied it?"

"Yes, I feel that Kled is a hero that meets our requirements. The effect of using him is very good, and I think he is a very compatible combination with Spider."

"Well, the combination of Pantheon and Spider gave us inspiration, so we tried it. In fact, we also used it in the training game... It's not really a hidden ultimate. Then when we were selecting the lineup, we felt it was suitable, so we took out this system. It feels really good, and the performance in the game was somewhat beyond our expectations."

When using this composition, our opponent in the scrim was TSM, and we lost the game.

There is a reason why TSM is the king of training games.

Because their reputation is really good, there is no need to worry about any leaks when playing training games with them. That’s right, there are not even any post-match photos.

There is no trace at all.

But this time we have the opportunity to play against GT in the group stage.

But TSM is first in the group, and they still have to win the bo5 in the knockout stage to get into the first half of the zone to have a chance.

Yu Shuang then asked a few simple questions. At the end, Li Yi said that he hoped to win his first global finals championship, and left the interview seat to the applause of the audience.

Next is the last game of the day.

The tiebreaker between SKT and AHQ.

Whoever loses will leave the global finals.

The LCK region is really panicking. SKT's current condition is obviously not very good. They just suffered a big defeat and were stunned by the loss. They didn't get much time to rest. Under this circumstance, their condition is definitely not very good.

The AHQ team has been gathering strength for a long time, especially today they won a game.

In such a good state, SKT might really suffer a loss.

As the defending champion, they were eliminated in the group stage, which was a big loss for this person.

Although they did not place their hopes of winning the championship on SKT, you can't be eliminated in the round of 16, right?
They have never seen such a humiliating scene in LCK.

SKT fans were even more angry at this time.

I wish I could find a big truck and park it at the SKT base right now to let SKT know that with their support, they ended up with such a shameful result!

If you have no shame, then forget it completely.

When a fan made the proposal, it immediately attracted the approval of a large number of fans, and even opened a fundraising channel. By the time the two players entered the battle seat, 400,000 won had been collected. The rate of increase is still very impressive.

Of course, they didn't forget to pay attention to the current game, but what they saw was really thrilling...

The two sides fought for 49 minutes in this extra match, and no one wanted to give up the last ticket to the quarterfinals.

Although some unpleasant things happened in the Intercontinental Championship.

But now the audience still chooses to cheer for AHQ.

After all, it is a big family and it is normal for some people to be rebellious and disobedient, but we cannot disappoint those who are loyal to Han.

When AHQ fell into a disadvantage, there was an explosion of cheers at the scene.

But at the fifty-second minute mark, the sound gradually faded away.

The big screen shows that Galio and Troll are still left on SKT's side.

And AHQ has been wiped out!

So even if there were only two of them left, no one could stop them from pushing the base.

In the end, SKT had the last laugh...

Got this ticket to the quarterfinals.

When the camera turned to the player's seat, Faker could be seen drinking water in big gulps.

The director zoomed in the camera, and it was not difficult to see that his hand holding the water cup was shaking slightly.

Even he, the triple champion, known as the Big Devil, felt like he had survived a calamity at this moment.

It was really too dangerous. The game was full of ups and downs. The economy was always very tight in the mid-term and the opponent even had an advantage on the field.

In the last team fight, the opponent caught Bang’s Xia.

The bottom lane duo was killed, and Simon's Alec flashed up to keep them, giving Galio a chance.

Fortunately, he knew at that moment that if he retreated, he would be completely finished.

My mood slowly calmed down.

And he jumped up from his seat, Wolf couldn't control his emotions and gave Faker a big hug. "This tiebreaker between SKT and AHQ was really thrilling! After a long battle, SKT finally succeeded in getting this precious ticket to the quarterfinals."

"Here, I would like to congratulate the SKT team. Under such a difficult situation, they relied on their perseverance and excellent teamwork to successfully overcome this difficulty. Although the process was full of twists and turns, they never gave up. This e-sports spirit is worthy of our admiration, and it also tells everyone that their legend has not yet come to an end."

"As for the AHQ team..." Wang Duoduo paused for a moment, "We feel deeply sorry. They also showed great strength and tenacious fighting spirit in this game, but unfortunately they missed the victory at the final decisive moment. However, failure is the mother of success. I hope AHQ will not be discouraged and will continue to work hard. In future competitions, they will sum up their experience and lessons, adjust their status, and start again next year. I believe they will be able to achieve better results. Let us look forward to their wonderful performance in the future!"

"Teacher Duoduo is right. Audience members should not leave too early. There will be a draw ceremony for the quarterfinals next." Rita said as she looked at the information in her hand.

"GT first in Group A, SKT second."

"Group B first Longzhu, second FNC."

"RNG first in Group C, SSG second."

"TSM is first in Group D, MSF is second."

Among the three teams, two teams are first in their groups, which is considered pretty good in China.

Although there is only one first place in the LCK region, all participating teams have advanced. From this perspective, it also protects the reputation of the first region, which is completely acceptable.

When the knockout rounds are less surprising and everything is real, their region will perfectly demonstrate its current strength.

So there is still hope...

"The top eight teams have been announced. Now we will hand the venue over to the hosts Ren Dong and Yu Shuang!" As soon as Rita finished speaking, the camera immediately switched to the center of the stage.

Ren Dong and Yu Shuang appeared on the stage.

There are also two buckets placed above.

I can only say that the staff was very fast and cleaned it up in no time.

"Dear audience friends, hello! In this passionate and enthusiastic e-sports arena, 24 teams with the dream of supreme glory gathered here. They embarked on this journey without gunpowder with their own beliefs and determination. Every game is a passionate collision, and every operation is to get one step closer to the dream."

Ren Dong's hosting skills are indeed much better than Yu Shuang's, and the gap is revealed in the comparison.

"After countless fierce battles and competitions, only these eight elite teams are left. They have overcome all difficulties and stood out from the numerous tests. They have become the pride and hope of their respective regions.

At this moment, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals is about to begin, which will determine their opponents and fate on the road to the championship. Who will continue to ride the wind and waves in this cruel knockout round, and who will regretfully stop? Let us wait and see together and witness this tense and exciting moment! "

……

The next guest to appear at the quarterfinal draw ceremony is icon.

At this time, many people in the live broadcast room saw Icon's suit and the watch on his hand.

Wow, that’s the RMB in circulation. A set costs more than 300,000!
Most people can't afford this.

Everyone kept asking in the live broadcast room.

Is icon a rich second generation?
I didn’t say that there were quite a few people in the live broadcast room saying that Icon was the son of so-and-so, and that he was a rich second-generation.

Suddenly, the words "Leng Shao" appeared in the live broadcast room...

As the host finished his introduction, Major General Leng reached into pool number one and drew out the first place team.

Open and take a look at RNG!

The RNG people who were watching the draw in the backstage were now very nervous as they watched Leng Shao's second draw.

The main thing is that the draw is very important. If you don’t draw well and GT is drawn, there will be a civil war in the upper half.

As for the second place, I think you can win by just picking any one.

With SKT in this state, won’t they be easily defeated?
When I saw the teams that were drawn, they weren’t great but they were pretty good too.

Dragon Ball!

At least it wasn't a civil war.

The third hand picked out TSM, which made the two second-place teams' eyes light up.

The TSM team has already been determined, so the trends in the upper and lower divisions are actually clear.

As the weakest team in Pool 1, they will have a chance to continue to advance to the top four if they meet him.

As for the last ball, it is naturally GT.

Although Leng Shao knew it, he still reached down and continued to draw.

"GT!"

At this time, the live broadcast room was also given to the RNG backstage lounge.

In this round of drawing from Pool 2, the first team drawn is RNG's opponent.

But I drew Samsung... and due to the rules, I was assigned to the lower half of the group, and my opponent became TSM.

At this moment, the director switched screens very quickly.

It was even divided into two screens, so you can see the reactions of the TSM and Samsung teams in the lounge.

It can be seen that both parties are very happy.

Then Leng Shao continued to draw lots!

A little rabbit appeared in the center of the big screen.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Xiaohu once again couldn't hold back his excitement and jumped up.

Isn't this a point that comes right to your door?

Fortunately it wasn’t SKT, if it was SKT then this game would have been difficult.

Fighting Faker in the mid lane really gave him a headache.

This was the best draw in his mind.

Being pulled out by Leng Shao, he was naturally very excited and couldn't control his emotions.

I was so happy that I realized something was wrong, and then I looked at the others...

Of course, we still have to look at uzi who is sitting in the front row.

I noticed that he turned around and laughed with him.

This time he couldn't control his laughter again.

Then I felt something was wrong and scratched my head. It seemed like this scene had happened several times before? The ending didn't seem good.
Could it be possible... that it will be like this this time too?
But looking at them laughing excitedly, Xiaohu quickly shook his head.

Similarly, the audience in the live broadcast room saw the RNG team shouting excitedly, and they also kept refreshing the public screen to show good draws!

"Hehe, no matter who our opponent is, don't be like RNG and control your expression and don't laugh." Li Jiongjun said.

"Well, by that time we all knew who our opponents were and would have been able to control our expressions long ago." Wushuang said.

"You're naughty? Just listen to what the coach says." Li Jiongjun said as he closed the door of the lounge.

Wushuang hurriedly sat down straight in his seat.

As for the remaining two, it is becoming clearer and clearer.

Longzhu definitely can’t play against FNC, so the opponent can only be SKT.

The expressions of the audience in the LCK region were very ugly.

This draw is definitely not a good one.

But there is no way, SKT and Samsung are both pool 2.

While the LPL has already avoided a civil war between the upper and lower divisions, the LCK is clearly unavoidable.

There is no way. They don’t have the strength. If they can’t get first place in the group, they can only accept such a draw.

So he started cursing again in the live broadcast room.

GT's opponent is FNC.

The camera turned to the backstage and found that GT had no expression on their faces, and everyone looked serious and solemn.

Everyone in FNC sighed and was in great pain.

Because judging from that performance, GT is not restricted by the version at all, and its tactical reserves are exaggerated.

How can you play against such an opponent? It's so exaggerated!

There is still a little chance to beat the other first place.

But playing GT... it feels completely hopeless.

Then the teams that were drawn sent a representative to stand on the stage.

Li Yi didn't go last time, but this time he came to the center of the stage at everyone's request.

After all, he is the core of the team, so he has to play in this game at least once.

FNC sent out Caps...

The King of Hats gave a smile that was uglier than crying.

Damn it. I have to fight against such a pervert in the knockout round. I really have no confidence.

The draw ceremony was over, and the big screen also announced the list of knockout matches.

Upper half: RNG vs MSF.

Longzhu vs SKT.

Bottom half: TSM vs Samsung.

GT vs FNC.

“I believe that the upcoming knockout rounds in Guangzhou will also be fierce and exciting!”

“Heroes aspire to pursue legends. All League of Legends summoners, see you in Guangzhou!”

ps: There are a few updates today, and more will be added tomorrow
