From Edg's win of the LLPL summer championship to S7's official start, there was more than three weeks of offseason in the middle.
However, in order to prepare for the S game, I didn't take a long break. After relaxing a few days ago, I soon entered the normal training rhythm again.
During this period, teams from all over the world have also arrived in the mainland one after another and moved stably into the official hotels arranged in Wuhan.
For a moment, in order to maintain their own training, as the highest-level game server in China, the top of the Canyon, a large number of professional brothers began to pour in.
Suddenly, the unique skills of domestic high-segment anchors and professional brothers collided frequently, and the program effect was full, and the entire top of the canyon became extremely lively during this period.
Then, in such a lively atmosphere, time passes day by day.
In a blink of an eye, the s7 finalist started.
As the third seed of LPL, RNG's schedule has officially begun.
Six days later, with the final promotion team deciding, the finalists announced the end.
From the audience's perspective, if you have to use one word to describe the rng competition these days, that is.
Fried fish in a fish pond.
Yes, that's right!
RNG's performance in the finalists was like a vicious shark who accidentally entered a fish farm. He used his terrifying huge body and sharp teeth tore up all his enemies fiercely and ruthlessly.
Finally, he successfully advanced to the group stage with a complete victory without any low attitude.
Although it was only a shortlisted competition, it really made countless audiences who were suffocated to watch it in this day without any competitions.
At the same time, the other three teams that advanced with RNG in the finalists are.
c9, fnc and fb.
On September 29, after the finalists ended, the group draws for the entire World Championship group stage were completely confirmed.
Group a: ig,skt,ahq,c9
Group b: lz,imt,gam,fnc
Group c: g2,ssg,edg,fb
Group d: fw, msf, tsm, rng
At the first time when the group group was completely determined, audiences around the world couldn't help but become excited.
Especially the big brothers in Europe and the United States, they soon started tweeting and started working.
The owner of the lcs-na competition area, tsm club tweeted that night.
"Oh~~ Such a perfect grouping, it's no exaggeration to say that I've begun to worry about what skin to choose after TSM won the championship."
A well-known commentator in the lcs-eu competition area responded.
"Hahaha, I have to say that we will never learn the optimism in the Na Division. I can't even imagine the champion skin when the group can't even go out of the line."
The classic eu and na fight each other and are directly staged on Twitter.
At the same time, the biggest focus of this grouping in China is on Group A with SKT and IG.
The homepage of Anti-Suppression Bar, various posts discuss this grouping enthusiastically.
[I laughed out loud when I saw the group, waited for the skt king to come to the fore, and easily smashed the unrealistic fantasy of a team's winning streak]
【Bad things, I actually got into the same group with skt, the situation is not good, brothers]
[Trying skt? Is the No. 1 seed curse repeating the same mistake?]
[Damn it, I play the three-crowned devil at the beginning. This pair of IG feels like signing]
[When you come, brothers, come up, let’s get a big shot first, and it’s time to test the real strength of ig!]
[Is there a possibility that this skt is completely restrained by IG? After all, Rookie S4 was the first OGN champion in his life that he took on Feike's head]
[Hahaha, the dog sons are worried, IG's winning streak will be smashed by skt himself]
【…】
It can only be said that at the end of the Darkest Era of S7, due to the continuous defeats in the previous few years, domestic audiences were more or less afraid of the Korean team.
With the deep roots of "Korean Fear" in the face of deep roots, even if IG's domestic record is already extremely dazzling, the SKT on the other side is just the second seed of LK.
But when we really faced each other, we couldn't help feeling guilty and uneasy. Most people don't have much confidence in the duel between IG and SKT.
Even if the majority of LPL fans are in resistant to pressure, the support rate of both sides is only narrow.
Not to mention the many Koreans who take the blame, LK, Faker, etc., etc., are optimistic about SKT.
In the eyes of those people, even when they were grouped, they already agreed that skt had already appeared first in the group, and ig would definitely be beaten ruthlessly by skt.
Even if the game has not started yet, many Korean fans can't help but speak up first and make a comparison chart of ability values in five positions. SKT directly beat the ig, depreciating the ig to nothing, and directly playing.
Champagne was opened before.
For a moment, the Korean chaotic forces, which were originally severely suppressed when I won the championship, suddenly recovered wildly and seized a large number of opportunities on the homepage of Anti-Suppression Bar.
Open the post bar and take a look. Those who know that the game has not been played yet, and those who don’t know that they really think that I have been eliminated in a miserable defeat.
In this way, as time passes day by day, the public opinion on the Internet is becoming more and more intense.
There are even many weird "bet" posts.
[Im?lpl is just a pseudo-strong team. The group stage skt must be won 2:0. I won one less game and I am Song Zhiqiang, who is inverted and diarrhea]
[What a bullshit blue brother, just a shorter guy in the top lane of the lpl and a bunch of chicken chickens. If you encounter a real Korean top laner, you will be beaten. Ncer will be killed by Huni at least once. If you are right, you will be called alone.
I called Dad, and didn't say anything to me, calling everyone in the building.]
[Han Za is so arrogant! I'll make a bet too! If I can win a small game of skt, my aunt will send you a photo of black stockings immediately! Say it!]
[I can't see Han Za's disgusting face, it's not sloppy. As of the end of the group stage, every time I win skt games, I will randomly draw twenty brothers in the building, each of them, one hundred red envelopes, except Han Za!

For a while, the competition had not started, but on major domestic forums, fans on both sides were already hyped up and full of gunpowder.
In this way, in such a hot atmosphere, the highly anticipated S7 group stage finally started.
October 5, 2017.
Wuhan Sports Center.
In the crowded venues, as the opening game of the first group stage, it directly attracted the attention of millions of viewers around the world.
The huge live broadcast screen clearly shows the names of the teams between the two sides of the game.
【ig】vs【skt】
...
The teams on both sides of the stage have already sat down. In the commentary seat, the three commentators at the home court of LPL also appeared on the live broadcast screen.
"Hello everyone, I am today's commentator Zeyuan."
"Hello everyone, I'm the commentator and remember."
"Hello everyone, I'm the commentary rita."
In the commentary seat, the three commentators started routine pre-match analysis. It was obvious that the three of them were full of expectations and excitement.
At the same time, everyone sitting in the game table, as they were about to face SKT in the first game, everyone's faces were obviously excited and nervous.
Except for Zhao Yun.
Yes, right, when his teammates were more or less nervous, his expression was unnatural.
Such a performance seems to be completely different from his usual self.
In the past, in the LPL game, his teammates were laughing and laughing, but he pretended to be calm, but in fact he was so nervous.
But now, when his teammates were nervous when they faced SKT, he didn't feel any nervous at all.
Seeing Zhao Yun's reaction, Ning next to him was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously.
"Damn, it's the first time we've played in the World Championship. Brother Yunzi, how could you be so calm? The opponent is the triple crown skt, are you really not nervous at all?"
In response, Zhao Yun asked directly with a smile.
"Why am I nervous?"
"The opponent's mid laner is a faker!"
"I'm so laughing. I'm not against him. The mid laner Faker has nothing to do with me. This is what rookie should worry about. It's OK for me to play on the road."
"I heard that their top laner Huni is also very fierce."
"Stupid, I don't believe it."
“…”
After a simple communication, the two of them talked for less than one minute, but after hearing these words, the other four team members were shocked by the strong domineering aura that leaked from Zhao Yun's words, although they didn't know why Zhao Yun
I am so confident today, but after such interruptions, everyone's nervousness has been reduced a lot.
At this time, the pre-match speeches of both sides were also released on the live broadcast screen on the big screen.
The person who spoke on the other side of skt was fake. He wore black-framed glasses and red team uniforms. He still had no changes from before. His eyes were still dull, with an indifference and arrogance that was not easy to detect.
"For the IG team, I didn't know them specifically. I heard that they are the No. 1 seeds of LPL, and they have performed very well in LPL this year."
"What needs to be paid attention to? I don't think there is anything special to be paid attention to. As long as we perform normally, we will definitely win."
I can only say that it has a very faker style speech.
When this pre-match interview screen was released, although it was in the domestic live broadcast room, it was still full of blockbuster "Come on SKT" barrage.
And at this time, in terms of the real-time support rate of the game, ig vs. skt actually showed a support rate of 57% vs. 43%.
Then soon, under the highly anticipated gaze, bp began.
Just when the first round of the two sides ended, it was the turn of the Blue Party Ir to choose the hero, Ir's other four teammates suddenly realized and understood why Zhao Yun was so domineering just now.
