Chapter 1443 Group Stage Opening Game

On the first day of the qualifying round, except for LNG and GEN·G, which had some competitive strength, the other wildcard teams obviously have not completely separated from their own leagues.

In terms of hero selection, they basically used the most in their respective leagues. Wildcard teams did not choose heroes such as jungler Qiyana, which are currently very strong in RANK but require more player proficiency.

Including Lucian + Nami, the combination that all bottom lanes are currently practicing, which is also mostly banned. Many wildcard teams, whether on the blue side or the red side, banned themselves. They seem to prefer ADs such as Miss Fortune, which are simple to operate and have a high lower limit.

In addition to hero selection, the wildcard teams also have some obvious flaws in basic skills and tactical qualities. It feels that the players are a little panicked on the field when fighting in a group.

On the first day alone, several amazing operations were born.

The prince flashed into the wall, and then four people EQed in front of him.

Miss Fortune had a perfect ultimate position, but R flashed to interrupt the ultimate.

There was even an operation of teleporting in front of the side when being caught.

It’s not to say that LCK and LPL players won’t make these low-level mistakes, but the wildcard teams’ frequent and intensive mistakes do look delicious.

Although GEN·G lost the first day, Lin Cheng still treated me to Icelandic specialties in the evening.

Of course, it wasn’t shark meat.

If GEN·G won, Lin Cheng wouldn’t mind playing a prank on Rascal, but since they lost, Lin Cheng didn’t add fuel to the fire.

In addition to dark cuisine, Iceland’s specialties also include salmon and lobster. I ate with a smile on my face, and I couldn’t see the gloom of losing to LNG.

The photo of the two people’s dinner was also uploaded to SNS by me, causing LPL viewers to shout that it was not good.

It’s bad! Lin Cheng is teaching Rascal the tricks of Irelia.

The next time the LPL team meets, I will give my brother’s Irelia a respect.

This qualifying round is not as lively as last year. Europe doesn’t have the fourth seed to make trouble, and the fourth seeds of LPL and LCK didn’t fight with the fish in the pond.

Three days later, two direct-qualified teams for the play-in round were born.

Little Kirin LNG also performed well, advancing directly to the group stage with a 4-0 win in Group A.

The direct qualifying spot for Group B was won by DFM.

Although C9 led by A P defeated DFM head-on on the first day, they lost to BYG in the backhand, resulting in the two teams having the same points in the end. DFM successfully avenged C9 through a BO1 tiebreaker and entered the main competition.

This was also the first time that DFM entered the group stage of the global finals. The entire LJL region was boiling, and Evi finally had the opportunity to make a symbolic thumbs-up in front of the audience around the world during the main competition.

Although they lost the opportunity to advance directly, GEN·G and C9 are teams from major regions after all, and their strength is still much stronger than that of wildcards.

Both teams did not make any more troubles, and they easily advanced to the main competition with two 3:0 in the knockout stage of the play-in round.

So far, due to the principle of avoiding the same region, the three major regions did not overturn in the play-in round, which means that the group stage was automatically formed.

Group A: KT, FPX, RGE, C9

Group B: EDG, 100T, T1, DFM

Group C: PSG, FNC, RNG, GEN·G

Group D: MAD, DK, TL, LNG

Just one day after the qualifying match, the entire KT team participated in the filming of the first day promotional video of the group stage.

The filming of the group stage promotional video is relatively simple, just posing and saying a few lines. If it is too troublesome, it will be difficult for Riot to make a promotional video every game day besides the players playing games.

On October 11, the group stage officially started.

The opening game has always been a highlight, and Riot specially arranged a direct dialogue between KT and FPX this time.

In order to take care of the Asian audience, the opening game will start at 11 am local time in Iceland.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the entire KT team took the bus to the competition venue early.

The venue for this S game is still the Laugardalur Sports Center, but unlike the MSI, the venue has been changed from the original Hall B to the larger Hall A.

When shooting the promotional video, Lin Cheng and his teammates had already visited the venue in advance. In fact, the layout of the venue this time is not much different from that of the MSI. I don’t know what the organizer’s change to Hall A means.

The atmosphere in the KT lounge is very relaxed. Everyone is playing with their phones and chatting.

On the other side, the camera in the FPX lounge recorded their pre-war mobilization.

Doinb is brainwashing his teammates in front of the camera.

"Come on, brothers! Although we lost a lot to KT in the training match, the game is different from the training match."

"In fact, the opponent's top laner is not that strong, we don’t have to be afraid of him."

"Show our true strength, and don’t be afraid of losing."

"3, 2, 1, come on!"

The Chinese streaming broadcaster has released the first day promotional video.

Although Lin Cheng felt perfunctory during the shooting yesterday, Riot's post-production is still very powerful.

DFM mid laner Ari was the first to appear on camera. He walked out of a hazy light gate, symbolizing that the LJL region made history and made it out of the qualifying round.

Stepping into a dark blue space, Ari looked around and found the Summoner's Cup on the platform in the middle.

He hesitated, but looked at the trophy with some desire.

This scene seemed to indicate that the Summoner's Cup was a bit far away for the teams in the wildcard zone, but they still yearned for it.

Finally, Ari couldn't help but stepped forward and slowly stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the trophy.

A light hum sounded.

Ari turned his head.

A tall and slender figure slowly emerged in the dark blue mist, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"Take your hands away."

A calm and unquestionable voice sounded.

"Don't move!"

Another voice sounded.

A figure wearing an FPX jacket walked out from the other side. It was FPX mid laner Doinb.

His Chinese was pretty standard.

"The trophy is mine."

Doinb stepped forward and stood next to the Summoner's Cup.

The camera turned to the figure in the mist.

"It's not the same anymore."

A calm voice sounded, and the figure slowly raised his head.

With this action, the mist around him gradually disappeared, revealing his true appearance.

It was Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng stood straight and walked slowly forward.

The clear footsteps seemed to create great pressure in this space, and Doinb looked solemn.

Ari glanced at Lin Cheng and took a step back silently.

Lin Cheng's appearance was calm and oppressive. The reactions of the other two players alone made Lin Cheng look like the devil of the abyss.

"Fuck! Brother Orange's appearance is so handsome!"

"It's not fair! Brother Coin looks like a monkey when he appears. Why does he have fog effects? "

"Just because he is the champion of the last session and the champion of MSI, the trophy is originally his"

"Does anyone remember that the trophy belonged to Brother Coin two years ago? "

"It's not the same anymore! "

"I can't hold it anymore! There are two Koreans and one Chinese on the field, but no Korean is spoken"

"Guess who is the chosen Huazi? (funny)"

"I vote for Brother Coin"
