LoL: I really didn’t mess up!

At this time, there were countless comments in the barrage on the LPL official TV station:

[QG is still reassuring. What kind of torture has this done to the teams in the same group? There is no game that exceeds 30 minutes]

[Indeed, it is really outrageous to be able to produce such data in this version! 】

[Such a match against EDG is really a stretch. Isn’t it true that they will be eliminated in the top 16? 】

[I think it’s really possible, but we’re too far behind now]

Although EDG defeated the group leader today and took a step back from the cliff, the situation is still not optimistic.

October 3rd is the last match day of the first round of the group stage.

There are a total of two highlights today.

One is SKT vs. TSM, and the other is ROX vs. Snake.

As soon as we arrived at the first game, the first set of matches quickly appeared.

One is SKT, which is already 2-0, and the other is TSM, which is 1-1. This game is also a crucial game for TSM. If they lose this game, they will fall to the same 1-2 record as EDG and INTZ, and the competition in the second round will be quite fierce.

SKT will obviously not show mercy. In the past, SKT only lost one match against Han Qixia and Flash Wolves in the group stage, but unfortunately, Flash Wolves are not in the same group as them this time.

In thirty-five minutes, SKT easily defeated TSM and also ended the first round with a score of 3-0.

After one game, Snake also came on the scene soon.

Snake's game was much more worry-free than EDG's. In the first two games, their team took turns playing three Cs in the top and jungle, easily winning two games.

In the battle with ROX, Snake showed great courage, using all three Cs to hit the team's unprecedented upper limit. He unexpectedly defeated ROX and also ended the first round with 3-0!

"Okay! Did the Snake team even win the Tiger team?" Everyone in QG didn't go to the scene today and just watched the show in the lounge.

"The upper limit of this team is really high." Banbazi also nodded. He remembered that the Snakes even defeated QG in one game during the regular season, relying on the three Cs to work together.

"But it's only in the group stage. When it comes to the BO5 knockout stage, that's the real test for Snake."

When Chen Dongqing saw this scene, he nodded in agreement.

LCK's BO1 results are mediocre every year, but they are the champions every year. This is considered a norm.

In addition to the good performance of the Snake Team, part of the reason for this is that ROX actually didn't take it too seriously.

When qualifying is confirmed, many teams will choose to try out things and practice tactics.

In fact, the same is true for QG. They don't play seriously, but they are really not strong if they can't stand up to the same team.

At this point, the four-group pattern has been basically determined.

Group A is a two-team competition for hegemony. ROX and Snake in Group A compete for first place. The next three groups are one super team with many strong teams. The pattern is exactly the same. The first team leads with 3-0, and the next three teams with 1-2 Followed behind.

"Okay, let's have a meeting." Banbazi turned off the live broadcast of the event. The remaining three games had no reference value and there was no need to watch them. He said, "How do you feel about the version of the World Championship?"

"The version has changed a lot. Now the mainstream ones in the jungle are Leopard Girl, Blind Monk, and Olaf, followed by Spider, Wine Barrel, and Centaur."

"The same goes for the mid lane. Yanjai can no longer play after weakening the Q skill to push the lane. Now Syndra and Viktor have high priority."

Everyone in QG expressed their opinions one after another.

Uzi shook his head and said: "If you go down the road, the changes will be even greater. I really don't know who came up with this Zyra support, it's so disgusting!"

For Uzi, who advocates laning, Zyra is disgusting whether it is at home or on the opposite side, because it will infinitely narrow the gap between the two ADs' laning abilities and directly become an auxiliary game.

Although they have ways to deal with them, it's not the time yet.

Chen Dongqing also said at this time: "The changes in the hero pool are actually secondary. Although the changes are big, they have not escaped from our hero pool. The main reason is that the rhythm has changed too much."

"That's right!" Banbazi said: "After the World Championship, I feel that the importance of the first-blood tower has once again increased, and the tactics have become more diverse."

During the playoffs, LPL teams generally advocate bottom lane laning, focusing on being crispy and getting to the next tower.

But after the World Championships, the situation changed. ROX and a group of teams with strong top laners gave a new answer, which is to let the bottom lane select a combination of heroes that can defend the line well, and then rely on Spider, Jayce and others. The Ueno hero is strong in the early stage, focusing on the top lane and a blood tower!

As long as the offense is strong enough, even though the top tower is much thicker, it may not be impossible to dismantle.

This idea really gave QG a little impact.

They are still more accustomed to letting Chen Dongqing fight alone in the top lane and win by relying on his personal ability. When Chen Dongqing is misfired in the top lane, but cannot open up the situation in the bottom lane because the opponent picks Zyra and other heroes, the situation becomes... Will be embarrassed by this.

"The core of the version is the first-blood tower!" Banbazi also nodded, "In the current version, the first-blood tower is too important!"

On the coach's side, they have detailed data records.

In this version, the winning rates of the red and blue sides are actually relatively balanced, with a gap of almost 50.5% and 49.5%.

But this data will quickly tilt after the factor of the first-blood tower is added!

When the team on the blue side gets a first-blood tower, their winning rate will directly increase by 42%, quickly reaching 92.5%!

This is quite terrifying, which shows that the fist has used too much force. The one-blood tower policy they introduced directly changed the pattern of the game!

Now all teams' casting and play styles will be centered around a certain defensive tower in the early stage, and the attribute of laning ability has been infinitely improved for a while.

Why does EDG seem acclimated in this version? It's because their team's strength lies in coordination and rhythm.

In terms of laning, neither mouse nor Deft can be said to be top-notch. It is actually very difficult to implement a blood tower policy around these two players.

The reason why the Snakes team can go 3-0 is because both of their top and bottom brothers are good at laning. Brother Crystal and Brother Holy Spear lose one hand to QG in the laning match in LPL.

Thinking of this, Chen Dongqing suddenly thought of Brother Crystal.

I didn’t expect Gangu to have such a highlight moment after entering the World Championships.

"Anyway, all we can do now is adapt." Banbazi said with arms crossed: "It's still unknown how the World Championship will develop in the future, but the current situation is a good thing for us. After all, we are known for our laning. .So, let’s practice!”

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing nodded and started PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with his backhand.

I've been practicing. I've been practicing.

Behind him, the two coaches and managers looked at Chen Dongqing's screen and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although Chen Dongqing's playing in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has become a unique aspect of their team, but seeing that the World Championship is already in full swing, Chen Dongqing has not changed yet, and they are still somewhat worried in their hearts.

Linko came over and tapped Chen Dongqing's shoulder and said: "My brother Shu, it's the World Championships, can't you just let go of the chicken game? You're not that addicted, are you?"

Chen Dongqing turned around and scratched his head.

But there was really nothing he could do.

The main thing is that he only has two attribute points left before he can reach full attributes, and he currently has just over 2,000 points in his hand. He must at least spend the remaining 2,000 points first and add a little first.

Linko thought for a while and then said: "Have you seen the recent rankings of the US server?"

Chen Dongqing shook his head: "I don't know, what's wrong?"

Xiangguo suddenly said from the side: "The current US server ladder is already dominated by Koreans, and the top three are all Koreans."

Just as he said that, Xiangguo clicked on the ranking list. The first one he could see was "mid faker", the second one was "Wang Ho" which is the transliteration of the name of the little peanut Han Wanghu, and the third one was "PraY 8D" "It's the Tigers AD.

"What's going on?" Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow, "If the Koreans are willing to score points, let them do it!"

"But fans don't think so." Linko shook his head again, "Our LPL didn't even make it into the top ten!"

Looking at the three teams in the LPL, none of them have the kind of ranking maniac type character. The Snakes team is famous for its poor ranking. Several of EDG's big dads are already veterans and have long passed the competitive ranking. At the 1-digit score stage, the young player couldn't catch up.

And QG.

Both Xiangguo and Doinb's playing styles are very annoying to their teammates. Their ability to gain points in ranked can only be said to be average, but they can't achieve points in the bottom lane.

Among all the LPL players who have come to the United States, the player with the highest score is actually substitute Lin Weixiang. He doesn’t practice or play much. He focuses on ranking in the US server all day long. Now he is ranked eleventh in the US server. I can’t believe it. ?

Because of this factor, there are many Koreans jumping around in domestic forums, saying things like "I can't even qualify but I still want to win the game."

Although these words that affected unity during the foreign war would be deleted instantly, it still somewhat dampened fans' confidence.

Although ranking is used to maintain the feeling of the hand, and the score is not critical to the players, but it is not good if it stretches the crotch too much, right?

Chen Dongqing looked at this scene thoughtfully.

At this moment, a system message suddenly came.

【New mission released! 】

[Task content: Climb to the top of the US server ladder list! 】

[Reward: 4000 points! 】

At this time, Linko was still talking: "You are the fastest in our team to score points. If you go to score points, you may still have a chance. But it feels like it is too late. After all, they have gained half a month more points."

"Who said it's too late?" Chen Dongqing glared, "If there's enough time, just leave it to me! It's our duty to rebuild QG's glory!"

Linko couldn't help but be stunned. Looking at Chen Dongqing who suddenly changed his temper in front of him, he didn't understand what was going on.

"Are you going to queue alone or not?" Xiangguo asked from the side.

"Then it must be a solo queue!" Chen Dongqing said: "The three of them are all in a solo queue. Isn't it hard for me to win in a duo queue? But you can help me win the championship in a duo queue first. This way I can rush faster. Click, I’ll do the second half myself.”

"Okay." Xiang Guo nodded, "Then you hurry up and become a master, and I'll double queue with you to get some points."

Chen Dongqing nodded. His number has just entered the positioning round (1/10). There is still some distance between him and the master. He still needs to seize the time.

His goal is to win the championship before the start of the second round of the group stage.

After the plan was finalized, everyone in QG couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Are you saying that our LPL players cannot be ranked well? Today I will let you see the strength of the first king of S6!

October 4th, three o'clock in the morning.

Linko, a middle-aged man, still couldn't sleep. He was still browsing the e-sports forum. At this time, there were still a lot of discussions in the major forums, discussing the group matches in the past few days.

Some people are praising the Snakes' superb performance, while others are criticizing EDG's hip-stretching performance.

In addition, there are many posts discussing player rankings.

[The players in LCK are just hard-working and they are still ranking in the early hours of the morning. Look at QG’s? I haven’t seen them online at night! 】

[Don’t be embarrassed, QG stipulates a healthy routine to get up at nine o’clock, and I’m already asleep now]

[Indeed, in terms of ranking time, QG is actually quite good except Brother Shu]

[Report! There's big news! Brother Shu is on the list! He's playing ranked! 】

【What! ! ! ? 】

There was a collective shock under the post, as if they had witnessed some shocking event.

Also shocked was Linko. When he saw this, he quickly cut out WeChat and opened the OP.GG applet.

This program can display the ranking status, scores, recent wins and losses, and online status of players from each team in real time.

Linko clicked on the QG column and saw that Chen Dongqing’s account was actually online!

Chen Dongqing queued until three o'clock in the morning?

Linko felt as if he had traveled through time.

Seeing this, Linko simply stood up, put on his slippers and ran to the training room. He had to see what was going on!

Pushing open the door of the training room, he saw Chen Dongqing knocking down the enemy's base in one wave, then quickly shutting down his phone and getting up.

"Ah? Brother Li? Why aren't you asleep yet?" Chen Dongqing was a little surprised and asked.

"What else do I want to ask you?" Linko asked: "Why are you qualifying so late? Do you want to fine me tomorrow morning?"

"I want to increase my score!" Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "I feel like I went a little smoother today, so I played Master overnight."

"Master?" Linko captured the key element.

He remembered that Chen Dongqing had just started playing the second positioning match in the afternoon. Why was he the master?

"Okay, let's go back to bed." Chen Dongqing waved his hand, "It's only three o'clock now. If I get up at nine o'clock, I can still sleep for nearly six hours, which is almost enough. Remember to lock the door of the training room."

Linko looked slightly dazed as he watched Chen Dongqing walk by tiredly.

Only then did he take out his phone again, enter the OP.GG applet, and take a look at Chen Dongqing's recent ranking records.

The first priority is Sword Lady, the second priority is Jace, and the third priority is Riven. The whole page is devoted to these three heroes.

Then

Win, win, win, win, win.

MVP! MVP! MVP! MVP!

A patch of green.

In one day and one night, Chen Dongqing scored 26 consecutive victories at an average speed of 20 minutes, and directly beat a super account from the second game of the positioning match to the extraordinary master!

Linko was stunned.

After only six hours of rest, Chen Dongqing got up again.

This mission, where you can directly receive 4,000 points just by climbing to the top of the US server, is so cool. For Chen Dongqing, this is no different from giving away points.

As long as he plays fast enough, theoretically he can get the points within a week.

Well, just for the points!

It’s not just to give LPL players a shout-out, Kou Heng.

At this time, Xiangguo also happened to get up. After the two washed up, they headed to the training room together. At the same time, Xiangguo was still saying, "What stage are you in? Can you go to master today?"

"Haha, who are you looking down on?" Chen Dongqing smiled disdainfully: "Today I am the king!"

"?"

Of course, the talk of becoming the king is bragging. The last place in the US server is 427 points. It is still a bit difficult to go from zero to 400 points in one day.

After all, Chen Dongqing has a high hidden score, and the master has begun to rank at the top of the division. They are all professional players, so there is still some resistance.

The time will soon come to October 7, the last day of the National Day Golden Week, and the second round of the group stage will also start today.

Two days later, Chen Dongqing's score had reached a terrifying 450 points. When he got up in the morning and logged into the game, he saw that his account had been promoted to the strongest king.

It’s okay to be a king in four days.

Before the game started, they played four more games. After winning three games and losing one, the score increased by another 70 points to 520 points.

At this time, Chen Dongqing clicked on the rankings and took a look. Seeing that Faker's score was still in the early 950s, he nodded with satisfaction.

In three more days, we can catch up!

"Okay, let's take a rest first." Banbazi hurried over and stopped Chen Dongqing from ranking, "Let's watch the game!"

Chen Dongqing's ranking frequency in the past few days scared even him!

Except for training matches, eating and going to the toilet, the rest of the time is spent in ranking, and every time I am the last one to leave!

This guy is not ranked, but his ranking is amazing!

Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know."

Everyone in QG was eating lunch ordered from takeaway while watching the game that was about to start.

Today is a battle that belongs exclusively to Group A.

ROX, ranked second in the group 2-1, took advantage of the situation to face SPY. After a thirty-minute battle, they won another victory!

Then Snake also quickly went into battle against AHQ, and also won a victory, with the score reaching 4-0!

Immediately afterwards, the civil war started again between the first and second place in Group A!

But this time, it was ROX who won!

Peanut and Smeb's top jungler played a smooth attack in this game, directly destroying the top lane of Holy Spear Brother!

The score between the two sides also reached 4-1 this time!

After another round of torture, the score came to 5-1 again!

In this case, the two teams ROX and Snake are basically determined to qualify, but the question is who is the first in the group!

Playoff!

Facing the third seed of the LPL for the third time, ROX did not slack off at all this time. They truly regarded the Snakes as their formidable rival!

And the Tigers are scary enough when they get serious.

At 35 minutes and 22 seconds, ROX defeated Snake in the extra round and officially qualified first in the group!

Everyone on the Tiger team stood up from their gaming chairs with bright smiles.

Everyone on the Snake Team also stood up. Although they lost the game, they had not lost hope.

After the group stage is over, it really begins!

After watching the game, Chen Dongqing played a few more ranked games after the training match and officially raised his score to 600 points. But on the other hand, Faker seemed to be aware of Chen Dongqing's existence and also increased his score, raising his score to 600. Increased to 1000 points.

This four-digit ranking score has already refreshed the score limit of the US server!

On October 8th, Group C matches will follow.

Today is the day that determines EDG's life or death.

To advance, EDG must stand out from three 1-2 teams!

The first thing that started was the battle between EDG and INTZ.

Facing this team that once pushed themselves to the edge of the cliff, EDG finally managed to stay on track this time and pushed evenly for 28 minutes.

While many fans are happy, they also feel a little strange.

Since when did EDG need to be happy when they won a wild card?

Immediately afterwards, the Group C match continued, and then came one of the highlights of the day, TSM versus SKT.

But this time, something unexpected happened.

Everyone believed that SKT, which had been undefeated all the way, would win again. However, in this game, TSM showed the charm of being the number one seed in North America and forcibly overthrew SKT!

Immediately afterwards, TSM faced off against INTZ and won again!

Their record instantly climbed to 3-2!

EDG then faced SKT again, but they suffered a defeat and their record came to 2-3.

Next, the key comes to the match between TSM and EDG.

If TSM wins, they will advance directly. If EDG wins, they will qualify for the playoffs.

Seeing this, everyone in QG frowned.

But Chen Dongqing didn't panic and said: "Believe in Pawn, he is our hope for EDG."

He remembered that when S6EDG was on the verge of qualifying, it was General Pawn who stepped forward and rescued the vampire in danger, carrying the team into the knockout round!

And in this game, Pawn once again chose a vampire!

At 43 minutes and 43 seconds, the vampire in the six-god outfit finally showed his charm. He entered and exited three times in the team battle, killing AD first and then AP, and finally survived with remaining health!

EDG kept the seeds of hope, and both sides entered the playoffs!

In the last game, General Pawn showed his bravery and took out Victor to transform into the King of Thunder. He once again broke into the C game and finally brought EDG into the World Championship!

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but feel in a trance.

He remembered what the factory director said, "Pawn's departure will have little impact on us."

But without Pawn, who can stand up and save the team in desperate situations?

"Okay, despite all the twists and turns, EDG finally managed to qualify!" Watanabe couldn't hide his excitement in the commentary booth, "This year, all three of our teams have advanced to the quarterfinals!"

Although QG's game has not yet started, everyone knows that QG's promotion is already guaranteed!

And what about our Chen Dongqing? He took advantage of Faker's time to play the game and quietly continued to score points, directly raising the score to 800, officially entering the top ten in the US server!

It was not until this time that the ID 2016TOP1 truly entered the public eye.

In just six days, he went from positioning to 800 points, with a winning rate of 88%!

This terrifying winning rate and full speed immediately attracted the attention of all players and fans.

Now everyone understands that ilex wants to regain the glory of LPL players.

On October 9th, the Group B match started. This group of matches was relatively lacking in suspense, and there was not even a playoff. FW and SSG successfully qualified.

At the same time, the ranking scores of Chen Dongqing and Faker are still rising.

Chen Dongqing directly hit 950 points, while Faker continued to rise and reached 1050.

October 10th is the last day of the group stage.

The final Group D match finally started.

Chen Dongqing came to the arena for the first time in a long time and bombarded the remaining three teams in Group D!

After winning two games and reaching 5-0 to ensure qualifying, everyone turned their attention to Lin Weixiang.

Chen Dongqing smiled and asked: "Tell me, what skin should I choose for the championship?"

Although it was only the group stage, and the horoscope of the champion had not yet been revealed, this kind of joke told behind closed doors could still be said.

The wise man said with firm eyes: "VN!"

Uzi glanced at Lin Weixiang and said, "Either I go up and play vn, or you go up and play something else, it's your choice."

In this version that advocates the right to route, choosing vn is tantamount to committing suicide, so even Uzi has no idea of ​​choosing vn.

How could Lin Weixiang be chosen?

The smart guy smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm just kidding. I'll choose Ice. If there's no Ice, I'll take Lucian."

"OK."

The QG team quickly brought Lin Weixiang to the stage again. This time they focused on the top half and won the game easily.

After Da Smart won the game, his eyebrows twitched, as if the share of the champion's skin had been distributed to his pocket.

For the three teams in Group D, all they need to do is compete for the second qualifying spot!

The three teams fought fiercely and even reached a playoff!

In the final battle between North American second seed CLG and European second seed H2K, the North American team CLG won.

At this point, the group stage schedule has finally come to an end. At this time, the eight teams that have been confirmed to advance have also arrived at the scene, preparing to participate in the knockout draw ceremony!

The backstage is now overcrowded. In addition to the teams that have advanced, there are even many eliminated teams here.

Anyway, their hotel has not expired yet, and it is close to the scene. Of course they don't mind coming to the scene to observe and join in the fun.

At this time, TSM's AD player Doublelift took the initiative to find Chen Dongqing and Uzi and expressed that he wanted to exchange team uniforms with them.

Although the senior brother once again failed in the top 16, he was not impatient. He believed that he still had a long career ahead and plenty of opportunities.

Chen Dongqing nodded and agreed readily.

At this time, members of the EDG and Snake teams also came over and talked with the QG people with smiles.

Chen Dongqing also smiled and said: "I hope there won't be a civil war in the first round."

Everyone from Snake and EDG also nodded in agreement.

Although in S3 and S4, LPL relied on civil war to reach the finals for two consecutive years, in fact, no one likes this schedule.

And the most important thing is that no one wants to have a civil war with QG. This is terrible.

At this time, the CLG players finally returned to the backstage. After successfully advancing to the knockout rounds, one could clearly see that the CLG players breathed a sigh of relief.

For most teams, their mission in the World Championships is not actually to win the championship.

Many people believe that reaching the top eight is considered a success. Of course, there are some who have higher ambitions and think that only the top four are successful.

The CLG players are obviously the former.

At their home court, CLG is the only North American team to advance to the knockout rounds, which can be regarded as maintaining North American glory.

It would be too embarrassing if all three teams were in the top 16 at their home court.

"CLG is here, let's send a representative out to prepare for the draw!" The staff was also urging at this time, "Hurry up!"

The three LPL teams discussed each other, and the representative of EDG was of course the factory director, while Snake shied away from each other for a long time, and finally it was Holy Gun who took over.

On QG's side, they sent Chen Dongqing - nothing else, he is handsome.

At this time, Vincent also came over and finally told the three representatives of the LPL: "You have all rehearsed this. If you forget where you stand, just look at the big screen. There will be eight teams listed on the screen. ’s team logo, just stand in front of your own team logo!”

"Yeah, yeah, we understand." Chen Dongqing nodded.

At this time, Little Peanut also came over, smiled and said to Chen Dongqing: "See you in the knockout round?"

"That's not necessarily the case." Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "I hope you can win and meet us."

QG and ROX are both No. 1 seeds and cannot reach the top eight, so they have to wait until the top four to meet again. At least both sides must win one round.

Little Peanut suddenly said seriously: "It's you who should pray! We will win until the end!"

Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "Then let's work hard together!"

"Oh, by the way." Little Peanut suddenly smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you today!"

Chen Dongqing was a little confused: "What surprise?"

Little Peanut didn’t explain. He blinked and said, “You’ll know after you go back to the training room.”

"."

Chen Dongqing still wanted to ask more questions, but at this time the staff had already given the signal to everyone to come on stage, so Chen Dongqing could only follow behind and step onto the stage first.

There was a loud cheer immediately from the audience.

Seeing all eight teams on stage, the audience naturally made noises to support their favorite team.

Chen Dongqing glanced back at the screen and saw the QG team logo on the far left side of the stage. At the same time, there was a circle of light formed by a spotlight shining on the stage in front of the team logo.

The first of the four groups is on the left, and the second of the four groups is on the right.

Chen Dongqing moved lightly and stood in front of the aperture.

When the North American bearded host saw that all eight players were standing, he quickly pointed to the left side of the stage and shouted: "Okay, let us welcome the representatives of the four top teams in the group!"

"ROX tiger! Flash Wolves! SK Telecom T1! AndQiaoGu!"

The audience in the audience banged their light sticks vigorously and cheered for the four teams.

Then, the four second-placed teams in the group also took the stage. They were Snake, SSG, EDG, and CLG.

The audience in the audience glanced at it like this: three LPL teams, three LCK teams, then a Bay Area team interspersed among them, and finally a North American team.

With seven Asian teams, many people felt a little sad for a while.

In the field of MOBA games, Asians are far ahead.

At this time, a person walked out from the back of the stage again. This was also an Asian face. He was TSM's legendary AD, WildTurtle, nicknamed Wild Turtle.

This player has been TSM's starting AD for the past two years, and was replaced by his senior brother until this year.

This can be considered a legendary player.

In last year's S5 World Championship, he once used Tetsuo's hammer to knock out a tube of blood from Imp skateboard shoes, proving Tetsuo's dominance to the world.

So much so that when Chen Dongqing saw Brother Yegui coming on stage, he almost stopped laughing.

At this time, the host quickly began to introduce the rules of the draw: "The eight teams will be divided into two half-zones and four groups based on the two principles of avoiding half of the same group and the first in the group against the second in the group. Catch each other and fight!"

After the introduction, Brother Yegui also officially started to take action. He would first assign the top four groups to four new groups.

He first reached into the No. 1 pool on the right, stirred it for a while, and then took out a ball.

Unwrap the ball and unfold the scroll.

"FW"

The first one to be drawn was the last hope of the LMS division, Flash Wolves.

Then the second draw.

ROX!

At this time, the camera shifted to Little Peanut, who was stained with granny ash and raised his hands to say hello.

At this time, on the big screen at the scene, ROX's team name also appeared in the lower left corner, on the same left side of the screen as FW, which meant that they were in the same half zone.

Seeing this, the QG team members backstage were immediately stunned.

Don't do it, Brother Yegui!

No matter what the order of the next draw is, SKT and QG are already fixed in the other half.

Does this mean that if you want to reach the finals, you have to get past SKT?

Of course, the SKT players in the background were also a little dizzy. They were also quite stressed against QG.

On the stage, Chen Dongqing looked at Faker and saw that Faker's eyes were full of seriousness.

Chen Dongqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although QG and SKT do have some grudges, there is no need to be so fierce, right?

Little Peanut sighed slightly.

If the schedule is arranged like this, then SKT and QG will only be able to face one of them at most, which is somewhat of a pity.

In Little Peanut's view, the championship won after sending away both QG and SKT with joy is the most valuable.

It's a pity that it can't be sent.

Soon, the two teams in the lower half also came to the conclusion.

They are SKT and QG respectively. Just like last time, QG was still the last to be drawn.

Soon, Brother Yegui started working on another Zhongzi Pool. There were still four balls in it, representing the four second-placed teams in the group.

Chen Dongqing's mood has basically calmed down at this moment.

The four second-placed teams in each group are certainly not weak in strength, but if you have to say one is the most powerful, then Chen Dongqing still thinks SSG is stronger. After all, this is the original runner-up in 2016.

In other words, as long as you don't draw SSG, it's considered a success.

Of course, it is best to draw CLG. I have experience playing this team.

Soon, the balls were taken apart one after another.

But it is a pity that CLG, which Chen Dongqing has been thinking about for a long time, was drawn to Flash Wolves at the beginning of the game.

Only EDG, Snake, and SSG are left in the second pool.

In other words, the quarterfinals will either be a civil war or a three-star match.

Chen Dongqing is a little numb. What does this mean?

Is this a backlash caused by the weak opponents in the group stage?

At this time, CLG representative Huhi had already shaken hands with Karsa in the center of the stage, and the Dragon King's unique talent had an obvious smile on his face.

For them, this lottery is an excellent lottery!

Look at the remaining three teams outside, ROX, SKT, and QG. They all look like monsters. You can tell at a glance that they can't be beaten.

But Huhi looked at Karsa in front of him again, and it was so pleasing to his eyes.

And Karsa has a similar mentality.

This wave, this wave is evenly matched!

This wave is called civil war to ensure one of the top four!

At this time, a circle of light formed by four spotlights also appeared in the middle of the stage, and the two people quickly stood still in the first circle of light.

Immediately afterwards, the draw continues, and this draw will determine the opponent for ROX.

This lottery drew Snake, but the problem arose at this time. Snake and ROX are from the same team.

According to the half-zone avoidance principle of the same group, two teams that qualify from the same group will not appear in the same half-zone.

So according to the rules, Snake slipped to the bottom half, and their opponent was the first team in the bottom half, SKT.

After escaping ROX, I met SKT

Brother Shengqiang sighed, lamenting the unfairness of the world.

He came to the stage, shook hands with Faker, and then stood in the third circle of light.

Then, the lottery continued, and this lottery was still to draw opponents for ROX!

But this time, there was no problem with the results.

"EDG!"

Chen Dongqing smiled immediately when he saw this scene.

50% of this smile is to give yourself no civil war.

The other 50% is to give 4396 enough respect.

What is supposed to come will still come.

But Ming Kai looked calm.

Now there are only two teams left. He can either play ROX or QG. It doesn't really matter.

If we play ROX, the factory manager will be more relaxed.

Because he really thinks QG is better than the Korean team.

Ming Kai and Xiao Peanut shook hands in the center of the stage and entered the second circle of light. They had a lively conversation. Chen Dongqing also heard that Xiao Peanut was a fan of the factory director, but he didn't know if it was true.

After the third lottery was finalized, there was nothing more to say about the final lottery.

In order to ensure fairness, Brother Yegui still drew the last lot.

Without a doubt, SSG!

Chen Dongqing and Mr. An walked from the left and right sides of the stage to the middle to shake hands.

Chen Dongqing could keenly see that there was also a trace of obvious bitterness on the face of Master An.

When the two teams were drawn together, the one who felt more uncomfortable was obviously Samsung.

Chen Dongqing understood this.

Chen Dongqing and Master An reached out to each other to signal the other to go first, and then stood together at the last circle of light.

At this point, the knockout matches are confirmed!

Upper half:

FW vs. CLG

ROX vs. EDG

Lower half:

SKT vs. Snake

QG vs. SSG

After the draw is over, the sixteen teams that came to San Francisco will also go their separate ways.

Half of them went back to their respective homes.

The other half are heading to their next stop.

Chicago!

I have been preparing for this game for a long time, so it should be fine, right?
