Chapter 646 The first battle begins, the fateful showdown CPvsSKT(2/2)
"He would be more handsome if he were thinner." Chen Lang looked at his chin and commented.
Rookies 5 came to lpl, and at that time he was still a little fat guy.
He didn't change much in the past two years, but this year he started to lose a lot of weight, obviously trying to lose weight intentionally.
Professional players generally don't lose weight too much during competitions, as that will affect their condition. Rookie's slow and steady diet is the most correct approach.
"Obviously you can rely on your appearance to make a living, but you have to rely on your strength." Xiaohu sighed.
Uzi's face darkened. He also wanted to test his appearance and earn a living, but his strength didn't allow it!
Rookie smiled and walked forward to draw the lots. With a nervous smile on his face, he covered his chest with one hand and reached into the glass jar to touch the ball with the other hand.
He opened the black ball and then pulled apart the huddled seals, and a winged team logo suddenly appeared on it.
And this draw directly caused everyone watching the game around the world to take a breath!
"This, this, this..."
"This move is so awesome!"
"Oh my God, I have a hand..."
"Should I say yes or no?"
"Rookie, this is too memorizing, isn't it? You rushed directly to SKT, this group A is so worried!"
"The remaining two teams are sad. Didn't they break out and come to Group A just to be abused?"
"Wonderful, we can see the showdown between cp and skt again in the group stage~"
"The old enemies met again, and they said they wanted to see skt and rng in a group for revenge. Unexpectedly, skt met cp directly. Isn't this going to be beaten again~"
The rookie drew directly and won skt!
He himself didn't expect to get this lottery, and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Host Ren Dong shouted loudly: "SKT has been assigned to Group A, which puts a lot of pressure on other teams."
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if skt's condition is not very good, judging from the results in the world championship, it is not bad.
Moreover, skt is not inferior in terms of honors in the past year.
Champion in the Spring Festival, runner-up in msi, runner-up in the summer competition...
Let’s not talk about the intercontinental competition. After all, it is a group honor, not a single club honor.
Winning two championships and one runner-up in one year is definitely a very good result.
In other words, skt has reached the finals in all competitions, which shows that its strength cannot be underestimated.
...
"Whoops!" Xiaohu burst out laughing when he saw Rookie hit SKT.
This means that if one strong enemy is taken away, the remaining opponents will be much easier to defeat.
For them, their chances of advancing to the group stage are a little higher.
The whole team clapped their chests, and then laughed and said, "Rookie's draw is really good."
“Really good~”
For we and rng, they are happy to hear and see.
As the black balls were drawn one by one by Rookie, the final distribution of the group was also decided.
Group A: cp, skt, gam
Group b: lz,we,tsm.
g,ahq.
Group d, fw, msf, imt.
Everyone was very happy.
Because their team is the best draw compared to we and cp.
CP’s team has SKT, and WE’s team has lz. Both teams are very strong.
Rng's team only has g2 and ahq, and they are not particularly strong.
Even though ssg entered Group C in the qualifying round, they were not afraid of each other.
When Xiaohu was confirmed in Group C, the pressure on him instantly eased a lot, and he smiled with joy.
While he was smiling, he took a peek at Uzi. When he saw that Uzi had no expression, he immediately retracted the corners of his grinning lips and suppressed his smile.
Then, he saw Uzi laughing suddenly, obviously in a very good mood.
So, Xiaohu sat on the gaming chair and laughed again. He even jumped up and patted the armrest of the chair.
Chen Lang happened to see this scene, and he teased Xiaohu: "Brother Hu, just laugh, why do you have to stop?"
Xiaohu pretended not to hear Chen Lang's teasing. He changed the subject and said: "Brother Lang, you are going to play skt again, come on."
"Yes." Uzi nodded in agreement with a smile on his face.
He didn't notice Xiaohu's little movements, but Xiaohu's eyes were secretly looking at Uzi.
Although Uzi is not the "team leader", with Uzi's influence and position in the team, he is the "team leader".
Xiaohu also has a submissive character, so he has learned to observe words and emotions.
He was originally worried that his smile would make Uzi unhappy, after all, it was also a useless behavior.
If you want to win the championship, you cannot be afraid of any challenge, and you will not be complacent just because of which group you are assigned to. This is not the behavior of a strong person.
He was afraid that his gloating expression would be seen by Uzi, but when he saw Uzi smiling too, he felt relieved.
We looked more solemn, thinking that avoiding cp and skt was a very good start.
Who would have thought that they would bump into lz, the lck summer champion!
Even though I think lz is not as big a threat as skt, I still feel very uneasy about being the enemy of lz.
"Is this sign okay~"
rng fans think this result is very good.
"Rookie's luck is really bad, not as good as the handsome old man..."
This is the opinion of our fans.
"Come on, go, go, go!"
This is a fan of cp.
As a team that wants to compete for the Triple Crown, fans of CP think that it is the same no matter which group they are in.
If you are afraid of meeting this or that team in the group stage, then how can you win the championship?
This is the difference caused by the different confidence brought by the results.
After all, it is the first time for we players to enter the World Championship, and most of our fans are also new fans. They will naturally worry that the competition in the group is too strong. If we are not the opponent, we will be eliminated in the group stage.
The last time we entered the s competition was s2. It has been 5 years.
The players have all been changed, and they are all people who have only started playing professionally in the past two years. They have little experience in all aspects, so they are still at a disadvantage in the competition.
rng is indeed a good draw. There are not too strong competitors in the group, so advancing to the quarterfinals is basically no problem.
After the drawing of lots, everyone began a new round of training.
It wasn’t until a week later that the S7 World Championship officially started.
The play-in tournament starts first, but few people watch the play-in tournament. Everyone would rather play two more training games.
The strength of the wild card team is indeed quite different. To put it exaggeratedly, if we find a few thousand-point champions in the first district to form a team and compete, they may not lose.
The main reason is that the overall strength of the wild card division is indeed quite poor, and is far less strong than the four major divisions.
Many players do not have the King rank, and some are in the Diamond rank.
The lowest rank is platinum.
This player is also the lowest ranked among all professional players.
The gap between platinum and king is too big, which is why many viewers believe that a team of several thousand-point kings in a single position in the first region can beat the finals.
Occasionally watch the play-in rounds, and also watch the games between ssg and fnc.
After all, these two teams are from the four major regions, but the third seed had to participate in the play-in round.
We can indeed clearly see the huge gap. The two teams played like a man-machine game and won the game with overwhelming force.
The play-in tournament lasted for a week and then ended.
The four teams finally selected are ssg, fnc, c9 and fb.
The end of the qualifying round is the moment when the group stage begins.
On October 5th, during the National Day holiday in China, the S7 Global Finals group stage officially started!
Chapter completed!
