Orphan Road King [Esports]

In addition to LU, the other two teams representing LPL in the S game are in Group A and Group C respectively.

UOG in Group A finished the game the day before and qualified, but it was the second in the group; the next day in Group C, ZXG did not perform well and also qualified in second.

The results of the group stage can determine the ease of the first round of the knockout round, otherwise there is no need for everyone to compete for the first place.

To win the first place, the opponent in the quarterfinals must be the second place in a certain group.

As for which one it is, it will be determined by drawing lots after all the group matches have been played.

In view of the avoidance principle of the same group in the first round of the knockout round, LU, as the first in Group B, will never draw the second RJ in Group B.

So their opponent is the other two teams in the same division and one of the second in Group A.

Therefore, Xu Jiyang talked to You Song for a day, saying that now he just hopes that there will be no civil war.

You Song was puzzled: "Why? You are right in the civil war, I feel that these two teams are inferior to you."

Xu Jiyang said, don't you know, then you are really young, civil war is very embarrassing, you will be ridiculed if you lose, and you will be ridiculed if you don't win the next round if you win.

You Song understood: "It means that as long as you win the championship, you won't be ridiculed."

Xu Jiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't make it sound like it's easy to win the championship!"

"That's not what I mean." He explained, "I'm not even qualified to play in the S match, why do I feel that way? I just think you don't need to worry too much, no matter which opponent you draw, just keep playing in a good state. "

Of course, the truth is always easier said than done.

So when Xu Jiyang came to him to talk about his pressure with a twelve-hour time difference, he would usually accompany him.

Fortunately, there is no need to wait too long for the draw. The next day after the second half of the group stage in Group D, the draw will be held.

You Song was in the replay training match, came out of the small black room, and learned that LU was drawn to the second place in Group D, he was relieved for Xu Jiyang on the spot.

However, this duel still caused heated discussions in the circle, because the second place in Group D is the third seed in Europe, and it is also the EU spring player who signed as a free agent after the former CNG jungler Chu Xiao decided not to renew his contract in the spring and summer transfer window. Asian JTU team.

In the words of LPL commentary, this can be regarded as a meeting of old friends.

"It's pretty good." You Song said to Xu Jiyang, "I remember that they were in a mediocre state in the summer split, and the group stage also depends on the grouping to get out of the line. You should be able to win."

"You still paid attention to their summer games?" Xu Jiyang was curious, "I feel that your research on the LPL team is terrible, and you even taught yourself Korean. How did you get so much time!"

You Song: "Anyway, I was a teammate, sometimes I would chat a few words."

Also, the JTU team that Chu Xiao plays for is headquartered in Northern Europe, and the English accent in that part...is not very heavy, but it is also difficult to integrate.Fortunately, the regular season schedule of the European League is not as tight as that of China and South Korea, and only Bo1 is played, so Chu Xiao also has time to work hard to adapt.

During the adaptation period, he once asked You Song privately for some ways to improve his listening.

After coming and going, the contact between the two has been maintained.

Now Chu Xiao's JTU has been drawn to the team with the best relationship with CNG in the league. After thinking about it, there is a sense of fate.

On the day when the quarter-finals of these two teams started, all the members of CNG's entire LOL division did not play the training game, and all went to watch the game.

The same goes for the analysis team, including Zhou Yuefei who could have gone straight to get off work.

Luo Xinyu complained to You Song in private: "Damn it, but I don't want to watch it with God Zhou! Watching it with him has a feeling of fear of being drawn to answer questions at any time, you know?"

You Song spread his hands: "There is no way, why don't you learn from me and talk to him more, and you will get used to being asked a lot."

"...It's nothing, I'm not in charge." Luo Xinyu waved his hands frantically.

"You can just chat with him about the details of the road-to-lane."

"Zhou Shen's famous saying, the key to laning in the bottom lane is more about support than AD!" Luo Xinyu spoke plausibly.

You Song looked at him, smiled and added the second half of Zhou Yuefei's sentence, and said, "Well, after all, some AD's laning is not as good as a super pawn."

Luo Xinyu: "Then I'm not this kind of AD!"

You Song was just as eloquent as before: "Did I say you are?"

Luo Xinyu: "..." Damn it, I really can't say it.

"Okay, let's go down, the game will start in a while, there are so many people today, we started chatting at the beginning, maybe we didn't ask questions." You Song finally gave him an idea, and then sighed, "Hey, I hope next year will be Other teams organize entire divisions to watch us play together.”

Next year is still far away, and the outlook can only be expressed verbally.

After going downstairs, You Song didn't think about it anymore, and devoted himself to the upcoming quarter-finals.

Like LU, JTU came from the play-in round.

Compared to LU, their performance in the play-in round was quite satisfactory. They didn't play any rounds where they pushed down the opponent's crystal in less than 10 minutes, and they were not forced to the edge of the cliff by their opponents.

The advantage of such a team is that it is stable, but the disadvantage is that the upper limit is not high visible to the naked eye.

In addition, the jungler Chu Xiao was originally from the LPL, and LU has experience in playing him, and he already has a three-point advantage in the fight.

Therefore, when CNG sat together and started the live broadcast, they were basically ready for LU to win smoothly.

But even so, everyone was shocked to see how quickly the first game ended.

"In 25 minutes, I didn't even hit the big dragon. It's useless."

"You are so strong, Lu, especially on the road..."

Wu Quan: "So they were really testing the lineup in the play-in stage, and they didn't take out all the hidden things in the group stage."

The people around all gasped when they heard it, especially the young people in the second team, whose faces were naked with envy written all over their faces.

Then when they were most envious, Zhou Yuefei added: "I haven't got everything yet. From the group stage until now, all they have used are the routines they used in the regular season and playoffs, but they must have practiced other methods." of."

"Let's see if JTU can let them come up with something different." Wu Quan was already a little bit lost, "I think Xuan, the difference in hard power is too big."

As he predicted, in the next two rounds, LU still played very smoothly.

The third game even surpassed the time of the first game, pushing to the high ground in 24 and a half minutes, and ended the game in one wave.

A neat quarter-final match that almost broke the record for the fastest Bo5 in the knockout round of the global finals.

At the end of the game, all major forums were discussing, saying that LU seemed to have won the championship.

After ZXG in the same half of the region lost the quarter-finals and stopped qualifying from the group stage, more people praised them.

Xu Jiyang came to You Song to complain again, saying that now a bunch of people are looking forward to them winning the championship, and it is really stressful.

You Song patiently listened to him talk about the pressure, and comforted him by the way: "The third seed has performed exceptionally well in the semi-finals, so what are you afraid of, besides, your opponents in the semi-finals are just like that in the quarter-finals."

This time he was a comfort tool for a little longer.

Because LU's quarter-finals were played too early, it was the first to end among the four matches. After all four matches were over, it would take five more days for the semi-finals.

You Song comforted him until the end, although he was not impatient, but he was really tired.

He searched the chat records of the two of them, and found at least dozens of sentences "Your team is in good shape."

On the day of the semi-final match between LU and No. [-] seed KN in the Korean competition, he told Xu Jiyang: "If you win KN and enter the final, I will post a screenshot of this search record on Weibo, so that everyone can see my hard work!"

Xu Jiyang is the kind of person who thinks a lot before the game, but when it comes to the game, he is not too nervous.

When he received the news from You Song before going on stage, he laughed out loud and asked You Song, "What if you really got lucky and won the championship in the end?"

You Song said that he would tell everyone the prospect that was not revealed during the group stage.

When you first qualify, you may be laughed at if you say you want to win the championship, but if you really win the championship, and you look back and say that you went for this goal early in the morning, then it doesn't matter.

In the last two days of October, the semi-finals will be played sequentially.

LU, which is the most favored by the audience, is still strong, and against the No. [-] seed of the LCK, it will not fall behind at all.

The two sides fought fiercely for five rounds. The fifth round was the same as LU's playoffs. It was also the late stage of Liushenzhuang. A wave of team battles determined the outcome, but this time they were the ones who seized the opportunity.

The commentators from all over the world couldn't control their emotions. When they praised the result, You Song edited a Weibo post and clicked send.

[@CNG-Praise: Let me see how many times I have to say this to this friend before the finals start [picture]]

Less than a minute after Weibo was posted, players who are familiar with him rushed to repost comments.

[@SVG-Damp: Grass, I announced that LU entered the final because of your one-tenth contribution]

[@AMGDistance: Hard work hahahahaha, real transoceanic support]

[@QSDVeteran: MLM bosses are not as hardworking as you [抱拳][抱拳][抱拳]]

Not long after they finished posting, LU's official blog also came to forward it.

[@LU Electronic Sports Club: [laughing and crying] No wonder only Bastard has never talked to a psychological counselor once. It turns out that he has other channels to relieve stress, thank you so much! 】

The posting of the official blog, firstly, reduces the possibility of LU fans thinking You Song is too hot, and secondly, it also secretly promotes its own club. After all, not every team will assign a psychological counselor to the team members, and even take them with them to participate. World Championship.
