edg returned to his resting place. The coach and the players had a meeting to discuss it. There is really nothing to say about the strength of the wild card team. Nothing noteworthy happened on this first day either. but. Still can't take it lightly, and carefully observe every change after the start of the World Championship. September 24. The play-in competition is still going on. First round. one against c9.
The strength gap between the two teams is really a bit big. The final winner is still c9. Thus. c9 is also directly confirmed that it can qualify. second round. lyn vs. we. We are still pushing horizontally all the way, relying on our hard power to win the game. Became the second team to qualify. Game three. c9 against dw. He won again and achieved a record of complete victory. Fourth game. lyn vs. gmb. It was a bad move and lost to gmb. fifth game. one against dw. One loses another round. game six. We are against gmb.
Winning the game easily, we also achieved a complete victory and qualified directly. Group A, the first round of the competition is over. The eliminated teams were Lyn and One. The other teams successfully qualified and entered the next round. but. Just relying on the unbeaten record of we and c9, it is already very self-explanatory. And other teams, the strength is not on the same level. The play-in competition is still going on, and the time passes day by day. On September 29th, the finalist stage of the World Championship was completely over. The four qualifying teams are as follows. c9, fnc, fb, we! This is the final winning team of the play-in competition, and they will participate in the next group exhibition. Join other teams in the pursuit of the World Championship. Before that, one more step is required. That is to draw lots and decide which group the four teams will join. 980 finally. The grouping of the group stage is as follows. group a. edg,skt,ahq,c9! group b. Iz, imt, gam, fnc! group c. ! group d. ! Grouping cannot please everyone. Naturally, some people are happy, and some people feel despair. Like IPL's we team, it just got a good lottery.
The level of the teams in Group D is not very high, and the hope of qualifying from the group stage is very high. But c9, who was assigned to Group A, couldn't even cry. This is a pure group of death. There was the No. 1 seed team of IPL before, and then there was the triple crown team SKT. It has to make people feel that the hope of qualifying seems to be a little bit small. As for rng in Group C, the situation is not bad. With his strength, if he wants to qualify, there is still great hope. Now. Almost all domestic players turned to the white group from light. It was as if the heart was being pulled. Of the three IPL teams, the least obvious way to qualify is EDG in Group A. The situation of we and rng is still quite good. "This group A is really a veritable group of death!" "I just don't know if SKT will play a hand at the critical moment." "Deliberately losing to other teams, so that edg can't qualify." "You know, it's because you can't stand up after kneeling for a long time. Before you fight, you already think that edg can't beat skt?" "What if edg plays skt, so he can't get out of the line?" "Do you know how powerful the Triple Crown is?" After the lottery was over, the bombardment in the live broadcast room was already full of noise. There are still many people who are full of confidence in EDG. But. Coach nofe doesn't think so. Before the start of the World Championships, his confidence was relatively strong. But when the World Championship started, his confidence began to slowly decline. I still ask myself from time to time. Does EDG really have hope to win the championship? Although. It's just that the play-in rounds are over.
But. Just watching the game for the past few days, he has already discovered a lot of problems. The speed at which each team adjusts is as fast as it wants to be. Learning ability is also very strong. Where the other party does a better price comparison, it may be used in the next game. After edg finished the summer finals, the rest time was a bit too long. The group stage was assigned to the ancestor of death. Playing such an important game as soon as you come up. Whether you can adapt is a very critical issue. In Edg's training room. All the people are there. There is going to be a battle meeting here. Discuss what to do next. The start date for the group stage is October 5. edg will play bol matches against ahq, skt, and c9 successively. Implement a double cycle system. In the end, it is decided based on the points whether your team can enter the quarter-finals. Then the first round of the game is crucial. He had to win all three games, otherwise, his fate might not be in his hands. You need to look at the color of others, and there is no way to play your own hand. If it is killed by skt or c9 in the first round. Then when these two teams face ahq, they will definitely win. If edg is careless, he will lose to ahq. Then there is not much hope. The result of the final discussion. That is, from the very beginning, edg had to give it its all in this home game. Take all three games down. Can't lose a game!
The skt team, Ipl have studied a lot. Still quite understandable. ahq's strength is a little bit 'secondary'. It's just that c9's performance in the play-in competition is very strong, and Ipl really doesn't have much research on this team. This is something edg should pay special attention to. Coach Nofe took a deep breath. He looked around and looked at every team member. "In the past few days, everyone has watched the finalists. "For c9, a powerful dark horse, what do you want to say?" "What do we do next?" As a veteran, the factory manager has also participated in the World Championship many times and has the most experience. He speaks first. "The c9 team is also a mid laner team." "The mid laner Jensen's heroes are all carry type heroes." "For example, heroes like Clockwork, Ball Girl, and Lucian." "The rhythm is almost initiated by him, he should be the engine of c9." The director's throat was a little dry, and he waited for a while before continuing: "If you want the team to c9, then you have to silence their mid laner Ensen." "In this way, the pressure on our mid laner (aedf) will be very high." nofe nodded. The factory manager has the same opinion as him. The key is in the contest for the mid laner position. Coincidentally. Now edg's dominant lane is the middle lane. "Ahem!" nofe coughed, then looked at Ye Qiu. "Xiaoqiu, it seems that when we fight against c9, we still need to watch you!" "If you can gain an advantage in the middle, then we will be better!"
Ye Qiu glanced at coach nofe. "I have no problem in the middle!" "I'm actually getting used to it!" Hearing Ye Qiu's words, nofe felt a little embarrassed. Anyway, it's a game for five people, and we can't always put the pressure on one person. This is suspected of oppressing Ye Qiu! No, as a coach he still needs to show some face. "However, although the middle lane is very important, other lanes cannot be relaxed. "Especially on the road!" "The strength of the impact player is also very strong, which requires us to pay special attention." "He also has first-class top laner strength, so mouse needs to be very careful!" "Does mouse have confidence!" The mouse on the side feels like the pot is coming from the sky. I usually play an anti-stress role, but now that the coach says so, I seem to be so important. If you can't play the advantage, you will be the sinner of EDG. He replied helplessly: b's advantage!" Nofe nodded in satisfaction. When mouse waited for the coach not paying attention, he whispered in Ye Qiu's ear: "Brother Qiu, you must come and help me on the road more often!" "I'm not confident that I will be able to play the advantage!" Ye Qiu nodded lightly, expressing his agreement! Time flies. Soon it will be October 5th. The 2017 World Group Stage has officially begun! And edg's first match was not against skt, nor against c9. Instead, it is against ahq. This team belongs to the LMS Division.
That is the Taiwan Island area. It's the provincial team! The overall strength of the ahq team is still relatively weak. You must know that the Ims division has always been ruled by the Flash Wolves. but. Ahq's mid laner Ximen Ye said that his strength is not low at all. His famous hero is the little murloc. Has the title of the world's number one murloc. And the highlight moment was Kassadin who solo killed Faker. This is what made quite a lot of people recognize him. This is a point that EDG needs to pay attention to. Players from both sides entered the arena in an orderly manner, and the game is about to begin! but. edg was not the first to play in today's group stage. It's the last game that will go to edg. The first game to start. It is rng to line fb. rng won the victory very easily. The atmosphere in the audience was very warm. The barrage in the live broadcast room. "I feel that our hopes for this year are very great!" "If all three teams can enter the semi-finals, I don't believe we won't have a championship!" "I'm waiting to see the last show now, edg Against ahq, the national team fights the provincial team!" "Go ahead, don't show mercy, beat the opponent as badly as possible!" The game is still going on. The game between skt and C9 is also over. The strength displayed by both sides at this moment is very powerful.
The two teams fell into a stalemate. This surprised many people. In the end, skt won the game by virtue of its strength. Nofe watched the game between the two teams, his face darkened even more. Sure enough, none of the teams that can enter the World Championship is a fuel-efficient lamp! at the same time. He also became nervous. Not for anything else. It's because of the team that will play next! edg against ahq! It is also edg's first show in the World Championship. This game must be played well! Whether it is from the direction of the team itself, or from the perspective of the audience. Can't lose! The players of edg and ahq have already started to play. The game will start soon! The barrage in the live broadcast room. "Here, come, I don't even go to the bathroom, just to watch this game!" "ahq ready to die!' "A provincial team still wants to play against the national team!" "It must be bloody, let the opponent lose in the strongest state, and let them lose heartily!" "I want to see the murloc that Ye Qiu told Ximen Ye, but I don't know if I can see it!" Accompanied by the voice from the commentary booth. This game is just beginning! "With the end of today's five games, the last game must be the game that everyone is looking forward to!" "I don't know how you feel, anyway, I'm looking forward to it!" "Before the game starts, Colonel, who do you think will win the game!" Miller asked at this moment.
Guan Zeyuan smiled. "There is no need to talk about this question, the strength is all there!" "Is there anything else that needs to be said?" "I think edg will win the game easily!".
