LoL: I really didn’t mess up!

The break from the group stage to the knockout rounds is short.

QG's game is scheduled for May 20th, KT's game is scheduled for May 21st, and the finals are scheduled for May 22nd, three days in a row.

As QG tops the group stage, the game is held one day in advance and can take a day off, while KT needs to play back-to-back games.

Of course, it’s hard to say which one is better.

You can say that QG took a day off to wait for work, or you can say that KT was hot in back-to-back games. According to the experience of later generations, this is usually an excuse used by losing fans to be harsh.

A few days after the group stage ended, QG still squatted in the lounge for daily training, and then took the opportunity to accept media interviews and shoot promotional videos. The few days passed quickly.

The time soon came to May 20th.

Chen Dongqing followed the team through numerous inspections at noon in Rio and sat in the lounge.

The time is now exactly one o'clock, and there are still two hours before the start of the game.

Before the game started, Chen Dongqing took out his mobile phone and browsed the forum.

According to the time difference, it is now midnight in China.

Because the game is approaching, there is a lot of discussion on domestic forums about today's game.

[Rational analysis, QG needs a few games to win! 】

[QG will definitely lose if it doesn’t go three to zero! 】

[What time does the game start? I have to go to work tomorrow and Saturday. I vomited]

[Me too, I stay up late to watch a game and then go to bed, and I’ll watch the results tomorrow when I get up]

[It’s not a big problem, just play G2 as you like,]

Because the first semi-final is scheduled for Saturday, which is a holiday, there are quite a few viewers who choose to stay up late to watch the BO5.

Of course, despite this, there are still a lot of people working on Saturdays, and some people really can't stay up late, so they decide to stay up and watch a show before going to bed.

But the problem is not that big. In the eyes of the domestic audience, G2 is so vulnerable that they will jump out of their chairs when they are drawn.

Again, do you still need to watch QG’s games? Woke up to another win!

QG's game is worry-free. It is not like some teams who wake up and look at the results and find that they have been eliminated by Vietnam. Their blood pressure will directly rise, which can directly make people laugh.

Chen Dongqing continued to browse the posts for a while, and soon saw a post reprinting the Wanwan Underworld Forum.

Wanwan is a very unique forum. It’s already 2017, and the style of the forum is still the same as it was twenty years ago, with a black background, and the title is still a thin gray font, which is quite difficult to read.

The reply below is even harder to comment on. The golden font size and black background make it feel like you are reading the inscription on a tombstone.

However, the content of the reprinted post this time is quite interesting.

[[Intermittent post]QG is really generous this time]

[He helped us kill the racial knights to vent our anger, and helped us eliminate TSM and GAM. They really made a great contribution to the Lightning Wolf being able to qualify this time! 】

[Fortunately, they are just competing normally]

[But they didn’t choose us as their opponents in the semi-finals. It’s already a huge honor]

[But it’s of no use. I feel like KT isn’t much better either]

[The main reason is that the top laner is too weak. Which of the top laners in this year's top four can he beat? 】

[Don’t worry about Mimi Dan, just let him go on the road alone with peasant soldiers, just watch Fengtang and Karsa]

The post went from thanking QG at the beginning to criticizing Mimi Egg, completing a wave of seamless transition.

But unexpectedly, the Underworld Forum, which has always been hostile to LPL, did not show much malice towards QG this time.

There's nothing I can do about it. QG has been really honest in the past few days, so there's nothing to say about it now.

Under this reprinted post, the Kangba friends were very happy, saying that QG cured LMS’s stubbornness.

Chen Dongqing was very happy to see the post. At this moment, he even hoped that FW could defeat KT and enter the finals. He wanted to see what Wanwan would look like then.

At this time, Uzi came over and patted Chen Dongqing on the shoulder, "Go to the bathroom?"

"." Chen Dongqing put away the phone, "Let's go."

The two left the lounge and walked towards the bathroom. When passing by the entrance, Chen Dongqing glanced at the stage.

The game is approaching and the spectators are already entering the venue one after another.

Just like the beginning of the group stage, there was still a packed scene of 60,000 spectators. The big Brazilian brothers really gave face.

Chen Dongqing could even see many people holding the pure white team flag of QG. It must be another magnificent scene when he takes the stage.

Chen Dongqing suppressed some of the expectations in his heart and walked into the bathroom. Unexpectedly, there were two players wearing black uniforms inside, whispering in the urinal.

Judging from the English behind it, one is G2's ADEven and the other is G2's mid laner Perkz.

"Hey, Luka." Even said: "In the upcoming game, remember to help the bottom lane more, QG's ADC is a pervert."

Perkz rolled his eyes, "Is this something I can decide? QG's mid laner is also hard to beat!"

"shit" Even said helplessly: "Why did QG choose us as their opponent? This is really too tricky."

"What's so tricky about this? Even if we play KT, what's the difference?" Ah P said: "The worst thing is losing. For us, reaching the semi-finals is considered a success. In fact, I can't wait to go back to my hometown to fish."

It is not false to say that reaching the semi-finals is considered a success.

Because it is really beneficial for MSI to enter the semi-finals.

According to the rules introduced by Riot Games, MSI entering the knockout division will have special privileges in the global finals of the same year, that is, the No. 1 seed will enter Pool 1 and occupy the top spot in the group.

Therefore, according to the results of this year's top four, the four teams in Pool 1 will come from the four divisions of LPL, LCK, Europe, and LMS.

For those in the North American division, even the No. 1 seed can only fall into the No. 2 pool and wait for allocation.

So in theory, if G2 wins the quarterfinals, they can be considered the light of the region.

"Allright" Even sighed, "I hope I can win a game today and don't lose too badly. It's really stressful to face Uzi."

Ah P said with a smile: "Then you have to think about Expect (G2 top laner). The one you want to line up with is Uzi, but the person he wants to line up with is ilex!"

When Even thought about his top laner's expression when it was confirmed that he would face QG in the semi-finals, he felt happy for a moment, and the tension in the game was relieved a lot.

They both trembled at the same time, then lifted up their pants and turned around.

There were two people standing right behind them.

Even and Perkz's scalps were numb.

When they were discussing QG, they found that the real owner was behind them, and the two of them were extremely embarrassed for a while.

Even looked at the kind-hearted handsome man in front of him, gave up his seat, and said hello stiffly, "Hi."

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded, stood in front of the urinal and began to unbutton his belt.

G2 Double C quickly walked away.

"Do you think they can understand what we are saying?" Even asked, scratching his head.

"I don't know." Perkz shrugged, "But I remember that ilex's English seems pretty good."

"Then I hope they don't understand." Even prayed awkwardly.

And in the toilet at this time.

Uzi turned his head and asked, "What were those two talking about just now?"

Chen Dongqing thought for a moment and said, "That Even said he would make you look bad in the game later, and then he would put some pressure on you."

"?" Uzi turned around and said, "You're not just messing around, are you?"

"No." Chen Dongqing said calmly, "This is what I heard."

Chen Dongqing's English is average and can only be used for daily communication. In the exchange between G2 and G2 just now, he only heard words such as "shameful" and "stressful", which roughly means this.

Uzi's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and his temperature began to rise. "Put some pressure on me? Good guy, you haven't died before, have you?"

Uzi decided to give them something harsh later.

After the two of them went to the toilet, Uzi made this comment to everyone in QG, which immediately caused another wave of waves.

"Good guy!" Xiangguo also rolled up his sleeves, "Are the guys from G2 so arrogant? We must teach them a lesson later!"

Seeing that the game was about to start, Coach Cui was still striking while the iron was hot and came up to talk about the tactical arrangements for facing G2.

The tactics are also very simple - prepare yourself well.

"There's actually not much to say about the G2 team. The overall strength is balanced, and the mid-unit is relatively outstanding. We are not afraid of this kind of team. We only need to play our own rhythm and guard against the opponent's mid-jungle linkage, and then victory will be easy."

Everyone in QG has no objection to this.

If we make a five-pointed star chart of the five positions of both sides, then QG's five-pointed star chart should be able to completely wrap up G2. At most, the gap between the mid-unit units will be slightly smaller.

Speaking from QG, this is definitely not crazy.

Of course, don't be careless.

After all, G2 is ranked third in the group, so it definitely has something going for it.

"Don't talk so much. All we have to do is work hard!" Linko said excitedly: "I believe that with your level, winning three to zero is not a problem. Come on!"

"Okay, welcome to the Rio Olympic Stadium! This is the venue for the 2017 Mid-Season Championship!" Guan Zeyuan shouted in the commentary box: "The semi-finals match between QG and G2 is about to begin!"

"I believe this is a peak match that everyone has been waiting for." I remember taking advantage of the situation, "But I think it is relatively easy for QG to win the game today. After all, judging from the performance in the group stage, QG has won ten consecutive games. QG's condition is obviously better!"

Immediately afterwards, the director also cut out the data of the two teams, and it could be seen at a glance that QG's data was obviously a big step ahead.

For example, the average economic lead per game, or the number of kills per game, QG is more than double that of G2!

The third commentator, Su Xiaoyan, spoke quickly. She held a notebook in her hand and was responsible for data analysis. She talked eloquently and said many unknown things.

"The Flash Wolves' statistics in the LMS division this year are quite exaggerated. They won 14 consecutive victories in the regular season and achieved a complete victory in the regular season. They are the fourth team in the world to achieve this achievement. Their dominance is extremely exaggerated."

Su Xiaoyan laughed when she said this and said: "But compared to our QG, this dominance is still far behind."

The achievement of winning the regular season has been achieved five times by four teams so far.

The first was SKT in the winter of 2013, the second was FNC in the summer of 2015, the third was QG in the summer of 2016 and spring of 2017, and the fourth was the Flash Wolves in the spring of 2017.

But it is worth mentioning that among these four teams, only QG in the spring of 2017 has achieved the achievement of winning all small games + playoffs, and its gold content is absolutely unique!

The third commentator is also very proud of QG. They are glad that such a team appears in their LPL.

If such a dominant team appears in the LCK, they really don't dare to think about it.

The three of them discussed the possible BP between the two parties based on the data.

"If nothing else happens, QG should choose the blue side. Then how should G2 on the red side BP? This is a huge test!"

"Actually, they don't have many choices. In the first round, they only have four heroes to deal with, namely Sword Girl, Jess, Policewoman, and Kenan. If they only have three bans, they can only find a way to ban them. Three, and then find a way to deal with the one released."

"If you ask me, then I think it's better to release Jace. After all, this hero's relative threat is not as high as the other three. The other three are all heroes who can lead four!"

Each of the three commentators explained G2's current predicament in one sentence.

Soon, a voice came from Guan Zeyuan's earphones.

Colonel Guan raised his voice and immediately ended the topic, and then said: "Okay, the first game of BP is about to begin. Let's take a look at the ban battle between the two sides!"

The live scene just cut in, and the camera scanned the faces of the players on both sides. It can be seen that the faces of the players on both sides are quite calm.

QG is calm because it has a winning chance.

G2 is calm because they are naturally optimistic.

What they were nervous about was whether they would lose too badly today, never whether they would lose.

Soon, the BP screen suddenly cut into view.

"Okay, we can see that QG, who has the priority to choose sides, took the initiative to choose the position of the blue side in the first game. In this version, because of the existence of Kennen, the blue side is more dominant!"

Judging from the performance in the group stage, all teams can now confirm that AD Kennen's gameplay is indeed a routine worth grabbing. This increases the importance of the blue side.

"The BP panel was cut out a little late this time. The first three bans for both sides have been completed. Let's take a look at the ban selections for both sides!"

Colonel Guan glanced at the bans on both sides, and then nodded.

The ban position was not unexpected at all.

"On the blue side, QG chose to ban Poppy, Olaf, and Syndra. The three ban positions were quite targeted. On the other side, G2's ban selections were Sword Girl, Kenan, and Policewoman. !”

Seeing that his three ban positions were completely predicted correctly, Colonel Guan showed a proud smile, and then continued: "QG's ban positions are quite targeted. The audience may not know that Olaf, the jungler of Trick in G2, played in the 2017 season. The winning rate is still 100%! Obviously QG has done some research on G2!"

Not to mention Syndra, in this version of the Enchantress being eliminated, this is one of the few fig leaves for Ah P.

At the same time, there is another point worth noting here, that is, in the past, QG would usually send Zyra to the ban position, and then leave Karma and Lulu to split evenly.

But this time, they didn't do that.

Because they had already thought about the BP for this round, no matter which one of the four heroes the opponent must ban, they would definitely choose the remaining one.

Then if you ban Zyra and release Karma Lulu, it is equivalent to banning the opponent, because the opponent will definitely take both heroes.

So I have to let it all go.

Based on this theory, both sides chose the first three hands very quickly.

The blue side's first move, QG locked Jace in seconds, this was an absolutely confident choice and there is no doubt about it.

Immediately afterwards, G2's back two hands quickly locked onto Lulu and Karma, choosing to release Zyra.

In G2's data, QG's support Ming has never played Zyra once, and has been self-banned every time, so they gave this to QG.

Their judgment was indeed correct. Shi Senming's Zyra was indeed average. After all, he had not experienced the baptism of the S6 World Championship.

But with Uzi around, Xiao Ming’s Zyra doesn’t need to be too good, it just needs to pass the passing mark.

There is nothing to say. Han Bing paired with Zyra, and the lineup was locked. G2 later chose a big mouth to pair with Lulu, focusing on the late game.

Seeing this scene, Uzi's eyes narrowed.

Then choose to hit me with a big mouth? Are you still threatening to put pressure on me before the game?

You are so crazy!

Entering the second round of BP.

G2 backhandedly banned all the blind monks and spiders, trying their best to block QG's upper and jungle linkage, while QG banned the wine barrels and big trees and entered the selection stage.

"The fourth hand of G2 on the red side, they chose Galio!" Colonel Guan said, "This Galio should be in the top unit."

The newly reworked version of Galio's damage is not that high, but its tankiness and support ability are excellent, so now it is generally an upper-middle swing.

It's okay to use it to resist Jace's pressure.

Jace on the top lane and Hanbing on the bottom lane have been selected.

The purpose of QG's last two BPs is to enhance the laning advantage of these two heroes and defeat the opponent by relying on the upper and lower laning.

Based on this policy, the remaining two choices have the answer.

Godway needs a mid laner who can break through Kalma's line control.

Xiangguo needs a jungler with strong rhythm ability.

In fact, QG has a hidden trick, but this time Banbazi gave the players the choice.

"Give me the prince." Xiangguo immediately had the answer.

Godway didn't have time to think, "Then give me the ice girl. I can swim after level seven."

"OK, no problem." Coach Cui closed the notebook and said, "We'll try to hide a few moves against G2. I believe you can win with hard power."

"Well, no problem." Chen Dongqing took a look at the lineup and said with relief, "Just wait for our triumphant victory."

At this time, G2 had also made their last choice-Graves.

The lineups of both sides have now been determined.

Blue side QG: top laner Jayce, jungler Prince, mid laner Ice Girl, bottom laner Ice and Zyra.

Red side G2: Top laner Galio, jungler male spear, mid laner Karma, bottom lane Big Mouth plus Lulu.

"Both lineups have team-building and protection, and both have enough output, and there are no problems with BP!" I remember saying loudly: "The only difference is that G2, with its male gun and big mouth, is more late-stage. QG’s three C’s are all early and mid-game heroes!”

"It's the classic spear and shield again!" Colonel Guan said with a smile: "This is QG's favorite matchup, because their spears are the sharpest in the world!"

Many teams will be wary of QG's offensive ability in the early and mid-term, so they choose a relatively conservative lineup and bet on the late game.

But in fact, this is what QG is most willing to see.

They studied SKT for a whole year last year and also beat SKT for a whole year. What they are best at is taking off the turtle shell!

The camera cuts to a high-altitude position, and the camera slowly patrols the entire venue.

Countless people held flagpoles and waved the pure white QG team flag, creating a white ocean with turbulent waves in the audience.

Under the attention of millions of players, the first game of the semi-finals started with a bang!

Playing G2 won't be too long, and it's expected to be solved in two chapters.
