Chapter 489: Quarterfinals, Vs. KT!

UZI shook his head, seemingly dissatisfied with this answer: "Then if the opponent gets Urgot in the subsequent games, how will you fight?"

Letme can’t be punished again, how else can she fight:

"If you can grab it, grab it. If you can't grab it, there's nothing you can do about it."

On the other side, in the IG hotel room, everyone on IG was also discussing this matter.

Ning looked at The shy: "Jiang Chenglu, if the opponent takes Draven, can you fight in the lane?"

Everyone in IG looked over, and now they were worried about more than just what they would do after meeting Chen Yiqiu.

They were even more worried. Chen Yiqiu developed this routine, and other teams started to learn it, and IG just happened to encounter it. Wouldn't they suffer a big loss?

The shy was still thinking, but Jackeylove spoke first: "If you don't know how to play, I can teach you. Really, my level of Draven is pretty good, so to speak."

Ning agreed: "I think it's okay. Although your Draven is just okay as an ADC, even if other teams' top laners are trained, their level shouldn't be too high."

Jackeylove raised his brows. He said that his level was not bad. He was being deliberately modest. Ning was better. Are you serious?

"Ning Mazi, can you stop contradicting me?" Jackeylove asked.

"Ah? Why am I contradicting you again? Isn't what I said the truth?" Ning spread her hands.

At this moment, The shy said: "If we really encounter it, I have a way to deal with it."

Ning asked: "Then you don't plan to practice Draven?"

Jackeylove complained: "Is Draven so easy to practice? Try it yourself."

Ning laughed: "Haha, I used to play ADC. Don't you know, Draven, it's like no one can do it."

"Come! SOLO!" Jackeylove took the initiative and directly asked for SOLO.

"Don't play anymore. You're too old to be solo." Ning kept refusing and mocking, which made Jackeylove furious.

The next day is the second match day of the first round of the group stage. Group A and Group C will play. Group B and Group D will have a rest today.

Everyone in TES trains at the SKT base. If there is a key game, they will watch it together and learn the opponent's playing style.

The day passed quickly.

The third match day of the first round of the group stage.

In the competition between Group B and Group D, everyone from TES came to the scene again.

Today TES's opponent is VIT.

Chen Yiqiu has never heard of this team, and its strength should be very average.

TES's game is the third, and there are two games ahead.

The first game is IG vs. FNC.

Originally, Chen Yiqiu felt that there was no suspense in this game. Although FNC was strong, there was still a gap between them and IG.

However, during the BP stage, FNC came to life and directly took out Draven.

Little Peanut became excited: "Brother Yiqiu, look! FNC actually plays Draven. Isn't this because he is imitating your top laner Draven?"

Lee Sang Hyuk shook his head: "I don't think it's possible. Top laner Delevingne requires a lot of players' personal strength. It's not that simple. Can you practice in just two days?"

Chen Yiqiu said: "Let's take a look first to see if they are serious."

When FNC took out another policewoman, everyone realized that FNC was really coming, it was really top laner Draven!

Xiao Huahua was shocked: "Brother Yiqiu, your influence is too great. They are all secretly imitating your playing style now."

Chen Yiqiu responded: "To be honest, I'm a little surprised. I'm not very optimistic about his performance. This hero is really not that simple."

Soon, BP was determined and the game began.

Chen Yiqiu took a look at the rhythm on the Internet:

[You actually secretly learned Qiu Shen’s style of play? It's not that simple. 】

[I think I will be beaten into a pig head by IG. 】

[This team is a bit outrageous. Is this the way they should play? Just choose. 】

[It’s only been two days, I don’t believe they can practice it. 】

[Qiu Shen has taught top laners bad. I saw someone collected the RANK of top laners from other teams this time, and many people are practicing Draven. 】

Go up the road and start the laning. This time The shy is playing Sword Girl.

The result was exactly what Chen Yiqiu thought, Delevingne was blown away!

It could be suppressed for a while at first, but as level three Draven's E skill was countered by Sword Queen, Draven was controlled by a wave of solo kills, and the top lane ended immediately.

Moreover, Ning saw that Draven on the top lane was easy to bully, and kept coming to the top lane to withdraw money. In the end, Draven became a monster.

Little Peanut muttered: "It seems that Draven is not good in top lane. As long as there is a slight disadvantage, he will be caught and beaten by the opponent, and it will be difficult for his teammates to help."

Chen Wei praised: "So Qiu Shen's Draven top laner is purely a matter of personal strength. If the strength is not up to the level, then don't imitate it."

Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.

The second game began, the game between FW and G2.

In the end, G2 easily won FW.

In this way, it is TES' turn to face VIT.

In this game, everyone at TES was relatively relaxed, and the lineup was very entertaining. One kill in the last minute, the blood level was full, and the game was easily won.

As a result, TES's results came to two wins and zero losses.

On the fifth match day of the first round of the group stage, TES continued training.

On the sixth match day of the first round of the group stage, everyone in TES faced the last opponent in the group, C9.

There is no difficulty, easy to win.

As a result, TES achieved a record of three wins and zero losses in the first round of the group stage.

However, everyone at TES did not relax their vigilance.

Because in the history of the S competition, there are also teams that performed well in the first round but exploded in the second round.

Mainly because I didn't keep up with the rhythm in time and learn how other teams play.

After a day's rest, the second round of the group stage begins!

This second round is different from the first round. In the second round, the remaining games of a group need to be played in one day.

In other words, a team needs to play three games.

After the fight is over, the qualifying format will be determined.

On the first day of the second round of the group stage, there are four teams in Group A.

In the end, AFS qualified with four wins and two losses, G2 qualified with four wins and three losses, and played an extra game with FW.

On the second day of the second round of the group stage, there are four teams in Group B.

Moreover, this schedule is opposite to the first round, that is to say, TES's first opponent is C9, then VIT, and finally GEN.

In the first two games, TES easily handled it, and in the last game they faced GEN.

This time GEN chose to ban Draven and block the hero that Chen Yiqiu had used in the previous three games.

But it was of no use. In the end, Chen Yiqiu came down to earth with a sword and a demon to teach him how to behave.

As a result, TES ranked first in the group with six wins and zero losses.

GEN ranked second in the group with four wins and two losses.

The third day of the second round, Group C.

This group is very fierce. The records of IG and KT reached 5-1 at the same time, and the two teams entered the playoffs.

In the end, IG narrowly won and won the first place in the group, while KT ranked second.

In Group D, FNC won the first place in the group with six wins and one loss. RNG and FNC lost in the extra round and finished second in the group with five wins and two losses.

The four groups were determined first, AFS, TES, IG, and FNC.

Four groups ranked second: G2, GEN, KT, RNG.

After watching the group stage, everyone at TES did not leave immediately.

Coach Hongmi said: "The draw for the quarter-finals will be held later, let's watch it together first."

Guo Hao asked: "Who do you most want to meet? We are first in the group, and we can only play second in the group." Xiaohuahua was the first to speak: "It must be RNG. RNG is the one we are most familiar with, so you can choose whatever you want."

Chen Wei said: "Forget RNG, change to another one and play GEN."

Liu Qingsong reminded: "GEN belongs to our group and cannot be beaten."

Chen Wei was stunned: "Oh! Then... then let's go to G2! I think G2 is easier to deal with."

Chen Yiqiu asked: "Really? We played a training match with G2 before, and you will also suffer in the bottom lane."

Chen Wei responded: "There is no way, relatively speaking it is better to fight."

While everyone was talking, the drawing of lots began.

The first is to draw the first place in four groups.

This person went up and drew out TES directly!

Little Peanut muttered: "Every draw is accurate. It would be a pity not to play the card drawing game."

Then there is the second group first FNC.

Xiaohuahua asked: "This means that if we and FNC both win, we will play FNC in the semifinals?"

Hongmi responded: "Yes, that's it."

The third one is AFS, and the last one is IG.

Immediately afterwards, the highlight was drawing second place in the group.

The first one is the TED opponent!

Everyone held their breath and stared at the hand of the person who drew lots.

I saw him pulling out a lot and slowly opening it.

When everyone saw it, the good guy turned out to be GEN!

So GEN was moved down to fight FNC.

Little Peanut complained: "This guy is so lucky, so he just draws like our group."

The second one, KT!

The moment he saw KT, Lee Sang Hyuk was a little excited: "Are you going to fight Deft? It seems that our conflict is inevitable."

Chen Yiqiu could feel Lee Sang Hyuk's blood boiling. He should really want to play against Deft.

The draw is still going on, the third one is RNG, so AFS's opponent becomes RNG, and the fourth one is naturally G2.

Chen Yiqiu suddenly discovered that because of the existence of TES, the history in his memory was different. G2 and RNG did not meet in S8!

Does that mean that RNG has a chance?

After all, RNG is still quite strong now. It's a pity to lose to G2. There were too many mistakes in the last two games.

And now, they seem to have a chance to prove themselves!

Hongmi said: "Now that the results are out, let's study the next round's opponent KT first. They are the No. 1 seed in the LCK division and are more difficult to deal with. We need to be fully prepared in advance."

Everyone nodded, and Little Peanut looked at Li Sang Hyuk and said, "Brother Sang Hyuk, you know Deft so well, I will see your performance when the time comes."

Lee Sang Hyuk said: "He and I are not on the same page."

Chen Wei interjected: "But it would be nice to come to the bottom lane and reminisce with him."

In the next few days, everyone at TES put in hard training.

A few days passed and the quarterfinals began!

The first is TES vs. KT!

In the TES lounge at the competition venue, the TES players are making final preparations before the game.

Chen Yiqiu took out his phone and checked the rhythm online.

Sure enough, netizens were analyzing this game.

[Brothers, the No. 1 seed of LPL and LCK is facing off. Today's game is too critical. ]

[If KT wins, then we are in danger? ]

[KT can't beat IG? What are you afraid of? We still have IG. ]

[What if KT explodes during the BO5? IG is too young after all. ]

[What are you afraid of? Who told you that KT can beat TES? We have Qiu Shen! ]

[I can't think of how KT will beat TES. ]

This game is very critical for both regions, because both are No. 1 seeds, representing the highest level of the region.

Of course, due to version changes, this conclusion is often not true, but the psychological effect is obvious

At least, fans of both sides will use this to make trouble.

Chen Yiqiu also saw someone comparing the scores of TES and KT, which looked quite professional.

In the top position, Semb vs. Reaper, 30:70.

"The former world No. 1 top laner vs. the current world No. 1 top laner."

In the jungle position, Score vs. Peanut, 50:50.

"The experienced old jungler vs. the new generation jungler with sharp operation."

"Jungler?" Chen Yiqiu was a little nervous when he saw this title.

"Huh? Brother Yiqiu, what are you laughing at?" Peanut saw Chen Yiqiu laughing and came over to take a look.

Seeing this evaluation, Peanut was also proud, but he said, "Netizens like to give nicknames to others, and they think so highly of me."

Chen Yiqiu continued to look down, in the mid position, UcaL vs. Faker, and gave a 40:60 split.

However, KT brought a substitute mid this time, so there is Pawn vs. Faker, 50:50!

Seeing this 50:50, Chen Yiqiu felt a little outrageous.

Pawn did have something in the past, but with injuries and declining form, he can't fight Lee Sang Hyuk 50:50 now.

However, these are all netizens' thoughts. Maybe they did it on purpose, after all, the two had some contradictions and conflicts in the past.

Bottom lane, ADC position, Deft and Gala, 70% to 30%.

"The world's No. 1 ADC and the world's No. 1 ADC who wins by doing nothing."

Xiaohuasheng complained: "They are really bold, saying that Chen Wei won by doing nothing."

Chen Yiqiu responded: "Netizens are like this, they only look at the general situation when watching the game."

Support position, Mata vs. Crisp, 60% to 40%.

"The man who changed the support position, who are you?"

This "you are" has a sense of contempt, after all, Mata is an old player, and the only support FMVP, which is very valuable.

It has indeed changed the support position to a certain extent. In the past, supports were all in the bottom lane to help ADC line up.

And Mata played a jungler and support duo. Although the jungler and support duo is very common now, it was indeed a pioneering work to change the gameplay at that time.

After looking at the comparison of individual positions, Chen Yiqiu saw an overall score.

KT and TES, 50% to 50!

The following comments: "The clash between the old generation of kings and the new generation of kings."

After saying this, Chen Yiqiu felt quite a bit, because the players of KT were indeed the strongest players of the previous generation. Except for the ADC position, which might be controversial, the other positions were the strongest at a certain time.

No wonder this season, LCK is saying that KT is a galaxy battleship.

Since the personnel of KT were confirmed at the beginning of the season, they have been saying this.

Looking at the comments below the post, many people do not agree, thinking that a 50-50 split is too outrageous, and TES must have the advantage, which is just giving KT some favor points.

On the other side, the KT players are discussing tactics together in the lounge. (End of this chapter)
