Alliance: The contract was blocked at the beginning, so I just played badly

After the fourth day of the group stage, countless RNG fans went crazy, and many media began to praise RNG from all angles, as if they had won the championship trophy.

Since Shen Lang traveled through time, some things have changed, but some things seem to have never changed. RNG is still at the forefront of the storm, and all kinds of outrageous remarks on the Internet in the previous life are still appearing on the Internet now.

Seeing that RNG fans are so enthusiastic, Shen Lang dare not look for RNG players to eat chicken again.

He is really worried that the fire will burn himself.

If RNG does not win the championship, fans may blame him. Although Shen Lang has a lot of fans now, most of them are new fans. In terms of enthusiasm, they can't be compared with RNG fans.

On the fifth day of the group stage, the schedule changed.

In the first few days, the official will arrange three groups of teams to play, two games in each group, so that the suspense can be left behind and no one will watch the subsequent games.

Starting from the fifth day, the official only arranged one group to compete, and the group stage qualification spots could be directly competed on the same day.

Today, the official arranged the game of Group B.

EDG is far ahead, and the players are very relaxed. When the camera is given to the lounge, the players are talking and laughing, and there is no sense of tension.

When the camera switches to the lounges of the other three teams, the atmosphere in the room is in sharp contrast with EDG.

The coach and the players are nervously discussing the upcoming game, and their expressions are very serious. You can clearly feel their inner tension.

The first game will start soon.

EDG vs. VIT.

In the eyes of netizens, this is a game without any suspense. Even if Shen Lang still hasn't appeared, everyone doesn't think VIT can win.

However, to everyone's surprise, EDG actually lost this game!

VIT is in very good condition, and the bottom lane is very risky to choose the combination of Draven and Thresh.

Draven, this hero, is either extremely fat or completely useless.

Although Shen Lang was not there, EDG still adopted the strategy of playing around the top lane in this game, which led to both the factory manager and Scout roaming to the top lane in the early stage, and did not target Draven in the bottom lane.

The hook of VIT's support in this game was very accurate, and iboy's Kaisa was hit by Thresh's Q skill many times, which led to Draven successfully getting a kill at the 6-minute point.

For other heroes, a kill is only worth 300 yuan, but for Draven, due to the passive blessing, the kill can even reach 600 yuan. As long as you can get a kill in the early stage, the equipment will be formed quickly.

After Draven gets the advantage, it is very easy to snowball. In addition, there is a very good support next to him. EDG's bottom lane collapsed quickly. Less than 15 minutes into the game, the bottom lane defense tower was destroyed by Draven, and Draven got two more kills during the period.

When the factory manager and Xiaoxuedi reacted and wanted to target the bottom lane, Draven's damage was already very exaggerated.

Xiaoxuedi's Ryze used his ultimate to go around, but before he could come forward to deal damage, Draven's two axes plus the damage of his ultimate killed him instantly, leaving Scout confused.

The game lasted only 28 minutes in the end. In the eyes of the audience in various regions who were in disbelief, VIT successfully won the game.

Although Ray, who was on the top lane in the early stage, had established a considerable advantage in the laning phase, even the top laner with a tanky outfit could not withstand the damage of the fat Draven.

After the game, many team analysts were very excited.

Since VIT could defeat EDG in this way, could they also follow suit?

Although this was only a low-profile version of EDG, they believed that they were stronger than VIT. If VIT could crush and defeat the low-profile version of EDG, could they also defeat the full version of EDG?

Of course, not all teams were happy.

At least Gen.G and C9 were very uncomfortable.

Except for EDG, the three teams in Group B now have the same points. Since EDG showed an exaggerated strength in the first half of the group stage, they assumed that everyone would lose to EDG in today's game.

However, VIT successfully defeated EDG in the first game, which no one expected.

This means that if they don't beat EDG in the subsequent games, it will be very difficult to grab the final promotion spot from VIT.

"EDG played a fake game!"

"Wave is obviously fine, why let Ray play?""How cunning! They deliberately let VIT lose so that Gen.G can't enter the knockout stage. EDG is not afraid that Gen.G, who has adjusted his form, will beat them, right?"

"It is recommended that the official disqualify EDG from the game, and the qualification for Group B should be extended to Gen.G."

...

Many Korean viewers began to discuss.

However, they were just incompetent and furious. EDG's substitution of substitutes was legal and compliant, and the players did not show any signs of match-fixing, so they could not find any faults at all.

"Why don't you play in the next game?"

In the EDG lounge, Abu turned his head and looked at Shen Lang next to him.

He didn't expect to lose to VIT. Although EDG's lead is large now, it is not impossible for the team behind to catch up. Letting Shen Lang play is undoubtedly safer.

Hearing this, Shen Lang immediately waved his hand and shook his head and said, "No need, it's just a loss of a game. It's normal to have accidents on the field. No one is sure to win. We still have to trust Qijiang and the others in the next game..."

Abu nodded doubtfully after hearing this.

The second game started soon.

Gen.G vs. C9.

For both teams, this game is very critical. Since VIT is already ahead, if they lose this game again, whether it is Gen.G or C9, they must win the next two games to have a hope of advancing.

The Korean audience at the scene is still very confident. After all, the last time Gen.G and C9 played against each other, Gen.G won the game.

"As long as Gen.G wins this game and beats VIT in the next game, even if they lose to EDG, they can still advance to the knockout stage as the second seed."

Before the game started, commentator Guan Zeyuan confidently analyzed the situation in Group B and confidently made a bold statement:

"Gen.G is 70% against C9!"

However, when the game started, Guan Zeyuan was stunned.

The situation was very wrong!

Gen gave away two kills at the beginning, and the bottom lane combination was found by C9 jungler Svenskeren in less than 6 minutes, and Sneaky successfully got a double kill.

Using the advantage of the bottom lane, C9 began to control the little dragon.

Don't think that C9 is weak because they were beaten by EDG in the previous game.

There is no weak team that can advance to the world championship, and most of the European and American players have a very good mentality.

For them, even if they lose the game, it will not affect them much, and they can continue to come next year.

In comparison, the psychological pressure on Gen.G players is very high.

Originally, they were criticized by Korean netizens for two consecutive losses at the beginning of the group stage. Now EDG lost to VIT again, and the psychological pressure on the players doubled. The coach even gave the players a death order before the start of this game, and they must win the game against C9 at all costs.

The power of the coaches in the LCK region is very large. If they lose a game, they will even slap the players in the face. Traditional teams like Gen.G have clear class divisions, and the status gap between players is obvious, not to mention the coaches and players.

After the C9 jungler found an opportunity in the bottom lane at the beginning, the operation of the Gen.G players began to change.

The psychological pressure on the players was very high. What they thought about was not the game, but the consequences of losing the game.

The game lasted only 27 minutes in the end. C9 successfully defeated Gen.G and won the second game.

When the game ended, Guan Zeyuan on the commentary seat suddenly became silent.

He couldn't understand why the powerful Gen.G lost to a team like C9, and lost the game in a crushing manner.

After a long silence, Guan Zeyuan slowly said: "After losing this game, Gen.G is in a very difficult situation, but they can't give up hope. They still have the possibility of advancing."

Looking at Guan Zeyuan's expression and combining what he said before and after, the audience in the domestic live broadcast room immediately mocked him.

"Opening match, crucial match, life-or-death match, next is Busan Railway Station?"

"Guan Zeyuan is really awesome. Although Gen.G was not a favorite to win the World Championship before the start of the World Championship, everyone believed that they could enter the knockout stage. As a result, they were eliminated in the group stage because of Guan Zeyuan's bad faith."

"The case is solved. It turns out that Guan Zeyuan's true love is LPL. He knows that he is a bad faith and deliberately supports Gen.G. It's a pity that the bad faith is not KT, otherwise I would like to call him the strongest bad faith in the universe."

"The Koreans also said that EDG deliberately let them go. With this level, does EDG need to deliberately target them?"

……Amid the mockery of the audience, the third game started soon.

VIT vs. Gen.G.

Just as Guan Zeyuan said, if Gen.G wins this game, as long as they can beat EDG in the next game, they still have hope to play a tiebreaker with VIT or C9 and advance to the knockout stage.

But at this time, the mentality of the Gen.G players has exploded.

There is indeed hope of advancement, but it is very slim, and it depends on the faces of others.

In this game, the Gen.G players are obviously not in good shape.

Just 6 minutes into the game, Crown in the middle lane gave away a head, and was killed by VIT's mid laner.

Obviously the most stable old player, this game became a breakthrough.

Facts have proved that the mentality of the players does affect their performance on the field, and the impact is very large.

Not only Crown, but other players on the line also made mistakes constantly.

When the game was 10 minutes in, Gen.G was at a disadvantage across the board. Even Guan Zeyuan, who was the most optimistic, became silent again.

He could not see any hope of a comeback from the Gen.G players.

At 34 minutes, the game ended and VIT won successfully.

At this time, VIT's record was 3-2, and there was a great hope of qualifying for the group stage, while Gen.G's record was 1-4. Although the group stage was not completely over, there was no need to play the last game. Even if they could beat EDG, they would eventually be eliminated.

After this game, the entire venue became quiet.

Imagine that RNG advanced to the world championship as the third in the group, but was eliminated after only winning one game in the group stage. What would the domestic audience react to?

Originally, Korean netizens did not like Gen.G. After this game, countless netizens began to spray Gen.G crazily in the forum.

Asking them to swim back was a relatively euphemistic response. Some even went so far as to directly greet the players' relatives, and some even threatened to send wreaths to the Gen.G base. You can imagine how angry Korean netizens were.

The fourth game.

EDG vs. C9.

Shen Lang still did not play in this game.

VIT was very disappointed with this result. From their perspective, they were eager for EDG to replace Shen Lang. As long as EDG could successfully defeat C9, they would have the same points as C9 in the subsequent games even if they lost to C9. They would have to lose to C9 in the extra games to miss the knockout stage.

I don't know if it was inspired by VIT's victory over EDG in the first game. In this game, C9 adopted a tactic targeting the bottom lane.

However, they did not use the combination of Draven and Thresh, but took out Taliyah in the middle lane, chose Shen in the top lane, and used the support ability of the middle and top lane to target the bottom lane.

If Shen Lang played, they would definitely not dare to play like this.

Shen's support ability is indeed very strong after reaching level 6, but his laning ability in the early stage is very poor. There are many top lane heroes who can easily beat Shen in the current version. Shen Lang is also famous for his laning ability. Choosing Shen in the top lane is no different from giving up.

But in this game, EDG played Ray.

Ray is really good in foreign wars, but in comparison, his laning ability is still not comparable to Shen Lang. After C9 top laner Licorice was beaten by Shen Lang last time, he worked hard to practice pressure resistance skills during this period. He resisted Ray's pressure in the early stage, and frantically supported the bottom lane in the middle and late stages. With the help of Rock Bird, he quickly helped the bottom lane combination to open a breakthrough.

Although EDG played very tenaciously, as in the first game, because C9 ADC was too fat, it was impossible to fight in the middle and late team battles. After 39 minutes of fierce battle, EDG lost the game again.

"Something is wrong!"

After the game, Abu realized it belatedly.

At this time, their record was 3-2, while VIT's record was also 3-2, and even C9's record was 3-2.

This means that they may not only lose the first place in the group, but may even be eliminated.

"You must play in the next game!"

Abu looked at Shen Lang lying on the sofa with a serious face.

The last game against Gen.G is very crucial. Since VIT and C9 still have to play a game, it means that only one of the two teams will have a record of 4-2.

As long as EDG can beat Gen.G, the record will also be 4-2, and they can directly advance to the knockout stage. If EDG loses to Gen.G, they can only play a tiebreaker with C9 or VIT to compete for the qualification for the next promotion.
