I don't work overtime as a professional.

Chapter 143 Not So Much Time
The most popular post on a certain flutter app is a post titled "Analyze the form of the top eight".

"Let me analyze the grouping of the top eight. First, let's look at KT and C9. Needless to say, everyone knows how strong KT's Galaxy Battleship is this year."

"It can also be seen from their performance in the group stage. They are like champions. Although they lost to EDG once, this does not affect their strength."

For the author's point of view, the comments below are almost in agreement. After all, KT is the No. [-] seed of the LCK, and no one will take them seriously.

Even many pessimistic LPL viewers feel that KT is unstoppable before meeting RNG.

Of course, after IG's victory and qualifying, everyone has some expectations for IG.But generally speaking, everyone is still more optimistic about RNG defeating KT.

"As for AFS playing EDG, this is a battle between the second seed of the LCK and the third seed of the LPL. But EDG... To be honest, it is really difficult to gain an advantage in the AFS game."

"As the dark horse of the LCK this year, the strength of AFS cannot be underestimated. It will really become more difficult for EDG to win."

His point of view, the number of people who agree with it is not as many as the previous point of view. Everyone is a fan of LPL, so naturally they don't like to see others talking about frustration.

Even they themselves know that EDG's paper strength is indeed not as good as AFS.

"What do you mean, EDG isn't that bad, is it? If you play better, I think it's okay to eliminate AFS."

"Yeah, starch is furious, daily milk Guodian, right?"

"It's still more hopeful, right? There's really no need for the landlord to be so pessimistic."

The host did not reply to these refutations of his point of view, but still did his own analysis and explanation.

"As for RNG and G2, I have a different opinion from yours. I don't think RNG is guaranteed to win. You may think that G2 doesn't need to be taken seriously at all."

"But I watched all the games of G2. They are really good at playing some unexpected things. If RNG is not careful, it is really possible to suffer a dull loss."

"Also, RNG is too strong this year. So strong that all teams can't help but study them. So RNG really needs to be careful."

"Of course, even if there are some twists and turns, I don't think RNG will lose to G2. At most, if they lose a small game, they can win G2 without any risk."

As soon as the author came out with this point of view, the comments below said that he was giving a few pointers. How could RNG lose to a team that entered the finals?Even a small field is impossible.

Some people also agreed with the landlord's point of view, thinking that no matter who they are, they should not underestimate any of their opponents.

All in all, despite the crazy discussions in the comments below, the host did not send a reply, but continued to analyze.

"As for the match between IG and FNC, I think IG has a greater chance of winning, not to mention that IG double-killed FNC in the group stage."

"If it's IG in the summer split this year, I wouldn't dare to say that they have a better chance of winning than FNC. After all, FNC is also the No. [-] seed."

"But now the complete IG, I really have the confidence to say this instead of them. Their game against FNC, the winning rate is at least 7% or more."

This point of view, like the first point of view of the landlord, has been recognized by most people.

"Indeed, IG is truly invincible in this year's World Championship. I'm already tired of talking about winning and qualifying. In short, it's over."

"This lottery is not bad. All LPL teams avoided in the first round. Of course, if both IG and RNG beat their opponents, they will inevitably meet in the semifinals."

"Let's meet, it's inevitable. I just hope to meet later, preferably the two LPL teams can meet in the final."

"Don't dream upstairs, the possibility of LPL doing this kind of thing this year is about zero"

After the analysis was posted here, the poster did not continue to express his own remarks, but allowed other people in the building to discuss wantonly.

……

August 10, 29:12 noon.

With all the attention, the quarter-finals of S8, KT's first match against C9, officially started.

In the first game of the game, after KT got the two strong laning heroes Urgot and Syndra for the middle and upper, they directly started fighting around the middle and upper fields.

Deft's bottom lane has entered the anti-stress mode.

And Deft's sacrifice is obviously very meaningful.Under the crazy rhythm of Naka Ueno and the operation in the middle and late stages.

The first match between KT and C9 ended at 24 minutes.

And the second game started again after a 10-minute intermission.

This C9 sent Urgot, Sword Demon, and Sword Girl into the ban pool when it came up, obviously trying to limit the smeb on the road.

And C9 did this in the early stage of the game.

But... It's a pity that after Deft's Xia developed, she directly took over the game.

In the end, KT flattened C29's base in 9 minutes.

After watching these two rounds, the IG players saw only one word from KT: strong.

Their 3C is not the same as IG's 3C, but as to who is strong and who is weak, it is really still unknown before they meet.

I don't know if it's because of the different styles of the two competition areas, but KT's three Cs are all biased towards the one with stronger team battle operations.

It is worth mentioning that pawn chose to retire before the World Championship due to a back injury, and now KT's starting mid laner is a young player with the ID name Ucal.

Even like Gong Qingwen, he is only 17 years old this year.

KT's third game started again after the break.

And this match was even more unexpected, because this match ended even faster than the previous two.

In 23 minutes, KT flattened C9's base.

So far, the first semi-finals seat of the S8 Global League Finals has been produced.

KT became the first team to advance to the semifinals after defeating C3 with a 0-9 record.

Watching the KT players walk off the stage, there was a short silence in IG's training room.

"They're really strong this year."

Seemingly unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, Rookie suddenly said.

Jin Jingzhu also stood up at this time, and his words were accurately translated by rookie.

"Since the game is over, let's start the training match. Tomorrow is our game, and we don't have so much time to waste."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement, compared to watching another game that didn't help them much at the moment.

It's better to spend this time on team training.

As Kim Jung Soo said, they don't have that much time to waste.

And after the training match, the players couldn't wait anymore.

After all, they will still be curious about the result of another game.

They want to know whether EDG can beat AFS with a downgrade.
