Alliance: Beat Khan at the start

Chapter 157

The end of the lottery also means that the S9 World Championship has officially started.

In a few days, this represented the start of the play-in round for the league's most important event of the year.

Although compared to the group stage, this one-week play-in match can only be regarded as an appetizer, but this does not prevent the teams in the play-in match from still playing out their dog brains.

Every team that enters the finalists wants to seize the opportunity at the beginning and puts 100% energy into this.

Although the attention of the play-in competition is relatively low, there are still many people paying attention, such as players like Lin Canyu.

"Nuguri's performance is okay, by the way, Yolo, how did you hold him down?"

Ah P was half paralyzed on the chair, and asked Lin Canyu.

The players of GRF and G2 are all gathered together to watch the game at this time. If other teams are still concerned about the promotion of this shortlist, then they are purely coaches.

It's not that they look down on them so much, the main reason is that the gap between the teams is too big, there is really nothing to see, at most, it's just to see if there are any black technologies or tricks.

But in front of the real strong, all routines are false.

Hearing Ah P's words, the G2 players nodded inadvertently and looked at Lin Canyu. Obviously they also want to know this question, especially Wunder, who can't wait to put their heads on Lin Canyu's face
During this period of time, he was bullied miserably by Lin Canyu.
"He's not human at all, that's how it is for anyone to play against him," Viper said quickly before Lin Canyu could speak.

However, people in G2 fully agree with these words.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's actually nothing, it's just a basic operation."

It's hard for Lin Canyu to explain anything, he can't say that I cheated.

Hearing Lin Canyu's slightly perfunctory answer, Ah P and the others curled their lips in disdain.

"Pretend, continue to pretend."

Although DWG was beaten by GRF in LCK, it doesn't mean they can't do it.

The personal strength of internal players is still very strong, especially in the three points of middle and upper field, and Nuguri's performance is particularly outstanding.

Although Nuguri looks a bit dim under the light of Lin Canyu, this does not mean that he is not strong.

As far as this World Championship is concerned, he can be regarded as one of the top top laners.

And DWG also has last year's champion coach Kim Jung-soo.

As a champion coach, Coach Jin is still very good at training players. Last year, the IG team was able to win the championship so smoothly, which is also inseparable from his management.

Although they have repeatedly fought and lost against GRF, as long as they change the environment and opponents, such as the current play-in match, they can still show the demeanor of their first-class team.

After the play-in matches in the past few days, DWG won four consecutive victories, crushing the other wild card teams with close to crushing strength.

Although the best promotion match lost a round, it still won the place leading to the main match of the group stage with a big advantage of 3:1.

"They're still the same," Tarzan laughed.

They didn't watch the game with G2 people today. After all, the two teams are competitors with each other anyway, so they still have to pay attention.

"As usual, orphans in the top lane, crashes in the middle lane, let alone the bottom lane," Mai Ge analyzed directly: "It's pretty good to play against these wild card teams. Once you encounter a strong team, these problems are easy to solve. will be exposed."

At this time, everyone in DWG is far from being as unsolvable as next year. Although Nuguri who is on the road is strong at this time, it is just that.

The Showmaker in the middle lane is too sluggish, and his roaming ability is slightly poor. Even the jungler Canyon is a bit confused, and he often gets lost in his own wild area.

Not to mention the bottom lane, DWG's bottom lane has always been their biggest shortcoming.

At this time, the player who served as their starting AD in the bottom lane was nuclear, known as Nuclear Emperor. Although this player has rich experience and even has the experience of playing in the LEC league, he is definitely not a good player.

Mike's analysis of these positions in DWG is also very concise and clear. The middle lane just tends to stick to one place, but Showmaker's personal operation strength is still acceptable, but the bottom lane is different.

It can be described in one sentence, if you win, you will lie down, if you lose, you will be blamed.

It sounds like a joke, but there is nothing wrong with it.

Bot lane is the biggest shortcoming of GWD, not one of them.

Although DWG seems to be very comfortable in the playoffs, it will be particularly difficult for them once they enter the main competition.

The play-in competition only lasted for one week, and the best team to advance was not as expected by Lin Canyu and the others.

DWG and CG easily broke into the group stage. SPY was slightly powerless against UOL, but in the end they narrowly won 3:2.

The remaining HKA also took away the opponent relatively easily.

This team must be familiar to many old players in the league. He is a consistent team from our Xiangjiang, which is the third seed of LMS, one of the so-called five major regions in the world.

Speaking of which, he is still from Lin Canyu's hometown.
This team was established in 2013 and has always been the strongest team in Hong Kong, but it is very weak in the LMS division and in the whole world.

The turning point was in 2017, when RNG's former assistant tabe joined HKA and became their coach. Since then, HKA has made great progress and won the ticket to enter the s7 global finals.

It's a pity that s7 ushered in a period of trough after a brief rise, even the coach Tabe was fired, and missed the S8 World Championship.Fortunately, the state of the s9 World Championship has picked up and they have won the tickets for the play-in competition.

And successfully entered the group stage, but most people know that they will stop here.

The No. [-] seed from Europe, America, South Korea, and Hong Kong and Taiwan lived up to expectations and got the tickets to advance to the group stage. They also played a lot of outstanding performances in their respective play-in matches, especially DWG even in the first game A torture session was staged.

This caused them to get into some controversy, but fortunately, e-sports is all about strength, as long as you are strong enough, what you do is the most that others talk about, what should you do or what should you do.

With the end of the play-in round and the determination of the final qualifying team, the final four places in the group stage will also be determined.

The first team assigned to the first group is our fellow Hong Kong and Taiwan team HKA, and the remaining three BCD groups are arranged according to the order and the rules of mutual exclusion in the same competition area.

SPY was assigned to Group B, which is the group led by FPX, and CG was assigned to Lin Canyu's group. It's really not good luck.

As for the last DWG, it went to Group C, which is the group where IG is.

So far, the final places in the group stage have all been determined:
Group A: G2, SKT, C9, play-in promotion (HKA)
Group B: FPX, JT, GAM, play-in promotion (SPY)
Group C: GRF, FNC, RNG, play-in promotion (CG)
Group D: TL, AHQ, IG, play-in promotion (DWG)
