Alliance: The man is back!

Chapter 149 The group stage is over, and the place for the knockout round is determined

It seems that everything has disappeared, just like that sentence said.

The past is cloud and smoke, e-sports, strength is king, everything is looking forward.

It is impossible to keep this Summoner Trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor in the world, forever if you join SKT and the Big Turtle team.

Perhaps, the only thing that can leave traces is to engrave everyone's names on the pedestal of the trophy.

At this time, the big tortoise player snowmaker also solemnly placed the S tournament championship trophy on the stage, then glanced at it with some reluctance, and turned his head resolutely.

He thought of the way his senior Fick returned the trophy back then. Fick's expression at that time was also very reluctant, and the snowmaker at that time still couldn't understand this feeling.

Fick has won so many honors, still care about this?
But now, Snowmaker understands a little bit.

Sometimes, it's not a matter of honor, it's more of a belief.

As long as the Summoner Trophy is still in his hand, he is the strongest in the world.

The original SKT did not take back this championship trophy, but...

Snowmaker doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

At the same time, the host spoke again: "In recent years, the strongest players in the history of the league have engraved their names on this legendary world championship trophy. And this year, it will be Let us wait and see who takes the trophy!"

At this time, the director also gave a close-up of the trophy, and the bright light dazzled everyone.

"Okay, the big tortoise team has returned the trophy, now let's welcome the sixteen teams that have advanced to the 2021 global finals!"

"The first is the representatives of the four teams in Group A."

After the words were finished, the spotlight in the center of the stage suddenly flickered, and then it was given to the four teams in Group A. The four star players who represented the teams to participate in the opening ceremony were all on the line!

There were also cheers at the scene.

The same is true for Group B, Group C and Group D.

"Now, sixteen of the strongest teams in the world are ready, let us cheer for them again, come on!"

The sound gradually disappeared, and the camera gradually drifted away following the cheers.

Then, the screen changed, and in the center of the stage, on the 360-degree large screen with no dead ends, the group list of all teams was officially displayed.

In the opening match of the first round, the EDG team will face the fateful enemy, the SKT team!

At this time, the painting style of the entire stage also changed suddenly, and the group stage officially started!
……

"Welcome everyone to the scene of the 2021 Global Finals. This is the Icelandic e-sports stadium. Hello everyone, I am a doll!"

"Hi, I'm Miller!"

The LPL exclusive commentary booth, the two commentators of Wawa and Miller are ready.

Everyone is extremely looking forward to the opening match of this kind of S event with its own big brother EDG and it is worthy of attention.

"Wow... We can see that the audience in the live broadcast room is still very enthusiastic. One thing to say, although it is said that offline viewing is not supported this year, but online, you can also feel everyone's attention to this game. "

"That's right, this is the S game after all! It's the S game that everyone has been looking forward to for a whole year!"

"Moreover, in the opening match of this S11 group stage, there is our EDG team in the LPL division, and it is also our No. [-] seed!"

"Then, let us also look forward to the performance of the EDG team!"

"Yes, the beginning of this year's global feast, the opening round of the first round, will be played by our No. [-] seed brother EDG!" Miller also nodded.

"EDG! The exciting promotional video and the opening ceremony just now are over, and I think the hearts of all the audience have already been raised at this moment. Regarding the opening match of the S11 group, I am still very optimistic about the EDG team!"

"Of course, this year's EDG team is just two words! Invincible!" Wawa also responded with a smile.

In the live broadcast room, after hearing such passionate words, everyone brushed the words "666" on the screen in the live broadcast room.

"Yes, of course, SKT is also a team that should not be underestimated. This team... yes, SKT has won three world finals, and this is the number of times that Fick's players have entered the direct match. It's stage."

"I remember that EDG played against SKT back then. The scene at that time...was not very friendly. I hope that in this game, I can completely repay the previous revenge!"

The audience was also speechless.

Thinking of the EDG team whose [-] economy was overturned by SKT back then, everyone was a little at a loss as to what to say.

But it is true that the game was too classic.

In the end, Miller concluded: "That's right, as a commentator for the LPL Division, World Series, and International Series, no matter from a personal perspective or a neutral status, I think EDG's chances are greater!"

"In short, as both sides of the opening match, EDG and SKT have been recognized in terms of strength. This will also be a historic moment."

"That's good... the players ahead are ready. The global audience has been looking forward to the S game for a whole year. Let's look forward to the performance of the two teams!"

The voice fell, and the camera also showed the BP seat.

In this much-anticipated opening match, EDG is on the blue side and SKT is on the red side.

Now in the latter part of the S11 season, the version has undergone many changes.

The current version is still a bit unfamiliar to most people.

Therefore, the ban selection in the opening game is also very cautious.

EDG is still the same as before, there is no one point that is too aimed at SKT players, but rain and dew.

On the contrary, SKT is directly removing the third-hand hero of the junior.

But if this is the case, the factory manager is not used to illness at all, so he just came up and chose his most famous blind man!
And when the blind man came out, there was another uproar in the live broadcast room.

The moment they saw the blind factory manager, they had already reached a collective climax.

And with the appearance of the factory manager's blind man, the situation of the entire opening match was completely determined.

Once the blind man comes out, it can be said that no one can stop him.

The other candidates are not important.

In the next game, the factory manager can be said to have killed seven in and seven out on the court, and easily won the first round of the game.

Leading the EDG team, and also leading the LPL division, made a good start in the entire World Championship!

And with this good start, it immediately became a hot search.

In addition, the audience also applauded the EDG team in the live broadcast room.

It can be said that this round of the game not only showed the momentum of the LPL division, but also improved the self-confidence of all LPL teams. Similarly, it also reported the hatred of being turned over by the SKT team back then. Similarly, this is for the LPL division. That being said, it's also a very good start.

For everyone in the LPL team, the group stage is not the key to their competition.

They want to shine in the subsequent knockout rounds.So the time of the group stage is also passing by in a hurry, and soon, the group stage of the S11 global finals is coming to an end.

It is worth mentioning that, before this, there have been three groups competing for the qualifying teams. Group A is the DK team that is the first in the group and the C9 team that is the second in the group. The first in the group B is the EDG team and No. 2's T1 team, and Group C is the RNG team and the HLE team.

It's a pity that the Fanplus team's performance in this world championship can be said to be very poor, although they are the No. 2 seed players in the China Division, and they also performed very well in the summer competition at that time , but on the stage of the world finals, they didn't play very well, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they played badly.It is precisely because of this that the second-seeded FPX team from the LPL division, in Group A, lost all three rounds in the second round of the group stage, and was unfortunately eliminated.

While the Fanplus team was eliminated, it also ushered in a very intense discussion among the audience.

For them, it is unbelievable that the Vanplus team was eliminated in the group stage. After all, whether it is in terms of paper strength or the abilities of the players, the Vanplus team has It can be regarded as the top team in the world finals this time, but because of this, under the excessive expectations of everyone, the Fanplus team made frequent mistakes in the entire group stage of the world championship. , and even lost all three games in the second round of the group stage, and this also made them have a great qualifying advantage, which completely disappeared.

At the same time, after losing the game, the Fanplus team also apologized to their fans and colleagues in the Huaxia team on the official Weibo.

Of course, they themselves were also very frustrated. No one expected that they would not even pass the group stage.

On the contrary, after EDG and RNG both qualified first in the group, this also made them even more embarrassed and frustrated.

EDG is lucky to say that RNG, as the No. 3 seed team, can qualify first in the group, but they are the No. 2 seed team in the China Division, but they failed in the group stage.

This also made their trip to Iceland a bit of a joke.

And on October [-]th, the last group D confrontation of the group stage ushered in. Among the confrontation teams in this group, there was the No. [-] seed in the LPL division, which was also the LNG team that entered the group stage all the way from the play-in stage!

Team Li Ning's performance in this group stage is also remarkable, especially the choice of the top laner, and their performance is also very exciting.

Subsequently, at 11 o'clock in the morning on October [-]th, BJ time, the S[-] Global Finals group stage matches were all over. The brief report analysis of the four LPL teams and the results of the draw for the top eight teams were announced.

The first is the No. 1 seed EDG team of the LPL. The EDG team is located in Group B of the group stage. As the No. 5 seed in the LPL division, in the first round of the group stage with a record of 1 victories, it really showed the style of the LPL division. However, in the second round of the three games In the game, due to the impact of the state, it was a pity to lose to the T1 team in the LCK division.At this time, the points of the two teams were both [-]-[-], and thus entered the extra match for the top spot. However, in the extra match, EDG reversed the situation and successfully won the T[-] team, taking the first place in the group. Successfully advanced to the knockout round.

Followed by LPL's No. 2 seed FPX team. The FPX team is in Group A of the group stage. In the first round, the FPX team had a 1-2 record and was ranked No.[-] in the group. However, in the second round of the group, the FPX team was in poor condition and exploded. Leng lost all three games, and failed to defeat his opponent in the playoffs, so he was out of the game unfortunately.

The LPL No. 1 seed RNG team played well in this group stage.Although, after two rounds of the group stage, they also faced the need to compete for the top spot with the LCK HLE team, but the RNG team withstood the pressure and successfully defeated the opponent HLE team in the extra match, taking the group No. [-] and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The fact that the RNG team was able to advance to the top eight list with the first position in the group is still quite surprising to everyone.

After all, FPX was directly eliminated, and RNG was able to withstand the pressure and become the first in the group. I have to say that it was a surprise for everyone.

And the fact that the two teams of the Huaxia team are the first in the group also means that the two teams will not have a civil war in a short period of time.

This is also a relatively good thing for the entire Huaxia team.

The last team is also the LPL No. [-] seed LNG team mentioned earlier.After the end of the group D game, including the LNG team, all four teams had three wins and three losses, and a rematch was played again.But unfortunately, in the playoffs, LNG was not able to defeat the opponent. Like the FPX team, it was a pity that they were out.

So far, the competitions of the four groups are all over. Of the four LPL teams, only RNG and EDG have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. In addition, there are DK, GEN, T1, HLE, C9 and The six MAD teams advanced smoothly.

Such a situation, in fact, is still a bit embarrassing for the Huaxia Division, which is called the first division.

After all, only two teams from the China Division advanced to the final eight.

On the contrary, on the South Korean team's side, all four teams have entered the knockout list.

And this also gave the South Korean team a great shock.

Among other things, just for the top eight seats, the South Korean team has twice as many seats as the Huaxia team!
This is also a point they can be proud of.

But soon, after the group stage, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals began.According to the principle before the game: teams in the same group cannot be in the same half area, so the final draw result is that RNG will play C9, GEN will play EDG, T1 will play HLE and DK will play MAD.

It is a pity that the only two teams in the LPL division that advanced to the quarter-finals will have a civil war in the semi-finals, but there is good news that the defending champion DK team is divided into the other half. never met before.

After the list of the quarterfinals was released, the heat spread on the Internet again.
