[LOL] chase light

87

After a few days of adjustments, the second round of the group stage started on time on Thursday, the second week of October.

Some of the [-] participating teams only need to consolidate their advantages, while others are between heaven and hell.

Then the standings of Group B changed temporarily because PND defeated MIC, and AG lost to SINCE, which led to a temporary change in the ranking: SINCE still ranked first, PND rose to second, and AG and MIC tied for third.

So far, the three teams in Group B except SINCE have a chance to qualify for the group stage, unlike the other groups whose qualifying situation has been determined early, or the rest are games where there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and there is no possibility of upset.

On the fifth day of the group stage, SINCE defeated MIC. Unless MIC can double-kill the European powerhouse AG in the group stage of this world finals, and AG can double-kill PND, and repeat the first round again, otherwise they will basically be eliminated. It's an ironclad thing.

Just like what the public tends to do: SINCE is the first group to qualify, AG and PND are fighting for the last spot, and although the strength of the wild card has improved in recent years, it is still not enough to compete with the top teams in other divisions.

PND has two more games in the next three days, each of which is a tough nut to crack: against AG on the seventh day, and against SINCE on the last day.Especially against AG, the outcome of this game directly determines whether their next stop is Chicago or the PND training base in S City.

In any case, fate is once again in their own hands.

On the penultimate day of the group stage, they came to the scene early again.Several games of AG were replayed over and over again in the lounge.Because AG's previous game was against SINCE, the video has the highest reference value, and Ah Qi watched the most.

Every team that has the possibility of qualifying will not overexpose its tactics in the group stage. This is common sense.

From the first time they lost to AG, several people in PND noticed that the entire tactical system of AG is no longer like it was in MSI, it is completely around their mid laner.

"Then limit their top laner. They also noticed that Moody's hatred is too great, and sometimes he will be forced by the opponent without thinking, so their top laner is their last trump card." Ah Qi turned back the progress bar a little , pointing to a few waves of signals on the mini-map and said to them: "Look, SINCE's jungler has obviously discovered this, and instead of catching it blindly, he caught AG's top lane in a few waves of linkage. When the middle and lower lanes are balanced, the top laner can decide a lot. For example, at this point in time, AG needs three people to dare to catch SINCE’s top laner. With this time difference and the difference in numbers, SINCE can do a lot of things gone."

"Then where are they going?"

"Their ADCs are naturally resistant to pressure in Europe. They can even beat him in the bottom lane of the relegation team. What do you think?"

"Why not change it?"

"The middle and upper legs are too thick. If you don't do anything, you will either win or lose. Why do you want to be so able to carry and grab resources from your big brother? Or do you think there are many good ADs? With the salary, they can afford it?"

"You're right..."

"Are you saying we're going to fight like SINCE?"

"Ah no, we're not SINCE, we just said it for your reference."

Ah Qi gave them a look of "experience for yourself", obviously worried about the understanding ability of this group of people.

Soon it will be time for players from both sides to enter the arena. The usual pre-match preparations will be made, and the game will officially begin.

After losing to AG in the last game, PND has been preparing for today's battle of life and death.

"Are you sure?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you this?"

Gao Xiaoyang rubbed his temples, saying that he should not have any objection to the coach's decision.

PND's last move against the draft was not left to Qi Rui, but to their top laner Devin.

Or Gao Xiaoyang has played the silent role in the team for too long, and most of the impressive tank heroes this season are Bobby and Dashu, so many people have forgotten that this player has joined the league since S3 The famous heroes at the beginning of the top single are Riven and Jax.

After several waves of revisions, the current top lane has returned from tanks to heavy warriors.

It's time for him to play his best role, if it's for the team's right to qualify.

After confirming that the AG lineup would not pose any fatal threat to him, he chose his famous hero Rui Wen to fight against the AG top laner Jian Ji, in the last game of the group stage.

"My God, I never thought that AG would be killed by a Raven and go back to Europe."

Gao Xiaoyang's Ruiwen took off in a wave of six-game online solo kills.Then the combination of PND's Ueno and Bot lane team hit a sword girl and the teleportation was not good. The time difference between the opposite bottom lane and no flash, a wave of four hits and two Rui Wen got a double kill, and after killing the jungler who came to support, three heads With an assist, Rui Wen returned to the line and completely slapped Jian Ji's face.

In the middle and late stages of the game, this Ruiwen simply relied on the advantage of vision, and after a few waves of teleportation, he single-handedly caught the ADC of AG twice, and dominated the audience with a level of [-].

AG, which lacked explosive output, finally realized that their S6 had stopped here after a few people were forcibly fired and wiped out.

With their point, PND completely shattered the possibility of qualifying for the AG group, and won a place in the quarterfinals for themselves.

In the post-match interview, Gao Xiaoyang, who defeated AG with Ruiwen, didn't seem to have any murderous looks on the field, but looked a little cramped.

"As we all know, your game tomorrow will not be easy at all. You will face SINCE, who hit you hard in the first round. After defeating AG, which also defeated you in the first round, will your team have a good match in the last game tomorrow?" What do you want to say?"

After the translator finished the retelling, Gao Xiaoyang thought for a long time before picking up the microphone.

"We are very happy to defeat AG, but this is not the end. I hope we can do our best tomorrow. Although we really want to win, we want to tell ourselves and others that SINCE is not invincible."

On the last day of the group stage, the qualifying situation of each group is clear. Group A is from SBM and SWG, Group B is from SINCE and PND, Group C is from KBT and K9, and Group D is from SN and SF.

SN, who finished their last group match, qualified first in the group, which no one expected before the start of the match.Many people thought that even if SN qualified, they would qualify as the second place in the group, but they didn't expect that they would have one win and one loss with SliverFang from the LCK, and then they double-killed LPL third seed VE to secure the top spot in the group.

"What are you doing?"

On the way back, Sean sat alone in the back row without looking up, Jacbjens was curious and asked.

Logically speaking, they should celebrate, not be left alone.

"As you can see, watch the game."

From the accent, it was their new assistant, Sean replied without raising his head, and by the way raised the device in his hand so that he could see some details clearly. Jacbjens is not blind, so he can naturally see that this is the twitch broadcast interface of PND to SINCE.

"I know, but...why?"

"Because he is my... best friend and the player I respect the most."

His voice gradually lowered.The Frenchman, who has been in North America for less than a year, spread his hands and did not ask too many questions.Even from many words, he is full of curiosity about SN's past mid laner.

Many people say that Stump is just a juggling mid laner who also made his debut, but he will never be able to compare with his predecessor SarieL.Stump, who was still a child, cared a lot about the opinions of these people, and even suppressed his anger several times in interviews with the media and said that he should not compare him with that person.

"I hate discussing him, please don't let me hear this horrible name, can you?"

In Stump's words, SarieL is a useless coward who quit when the team needed him most and came back when he barely made the playoffs. Jacbjens had paid attention to the game at that time, and vaguely remembered that their French King was indeed absent.

But Sean told him that SarieL had to leave his beloved arena due to a hand injury, and after he overcame everything to return, the mistrust between him and others almost destroyed him.

The second BO1 between PND and SINCE has been going on for No. 20 minutes, and SarieL is almost pressing SINCE's Penton to fight the whole time.If Sean hadn't mentioned it, it would be hard for him to believe that this was a player who had been injured enough to need surgery.

Suddenly Penton had a killing intent and crossed the pawn line to fight with SarieL.

Before his skills could be put into practice, the Enchantress on the opposite side had already thrown a whole set of skills in his face.

"He... is really strong. Or rather, incredibly strong."

It is rare for a player to return to his peak level after returning from injury, or even show signs of surpassing the past.Especially since he is 21 years old. For an e-sports player, he is not old, but he is certainly no longer young.

Jacbjens, who witnessed the whole process of the solo kill in the middle, thought that he might be able to understand why some people always find fault with Stump.If the SN where SarieL is in has ever had such dominance.

"Yes, I sometimes doubt that he is God's favorite." SarieL, who has completed two solo kills, has completely ignited the emotions of the commentator. They are screaming, cheering, and boasting about the glorious deeds of the former No. [-] in North America . Sean smiled bitterly, as if mocking himself. "God gave him teammates like that, in the best of his career."

He remembered the look on Rex's face the few times he'd talked to him about the Chinese who had taken his place, even closer than he'd ever been.

Stump, who heard what they were discussing in front of him, uttered a curse, was kicked by their manager James, and warned him that the young man needed to be more polite.

Jacbjens, amused by them, shrugged, went to put his arm around Stump's shoulder and started calling him by his nickname.The lad, who was short-tempered but surprisingly fond of the Frenchman, soon forgot what he was mad about.

Sean, who didn't want to ignore his teammates too much, turned off twitch, and jokingly called Stump's nickname along with him.This time, the mid laner from Idaho didn't have a friendly face on him. He made a puke face and started throwing trash talk at him.

Unbeknownst to him, PND won SINCE and broke SINCE's undefeated gold medal in the group stage.

They really did.

SINCE is not invincible.
