Stop contacting LPL, we are so unfamiliar!

"I hope Senior Brother can give me some help this year."

"After all, this year's World Championship is very likely to be his best chance to advance to the quarterfinals in his entire career, or even his only chance."

Looking at the icons of the TL team and the IG team, Dark said with a smile, but he had no obsession with the winning relationship between the two.

After all, the G2 team has only one goal for this year's S9 World Championship, and that is the world championship. Therefore, regardless of the order and grouping of other teams, it will not affect the G2 team's three consecutive S competition championships!

After confirming that the DWG team was tomorrow's BO3 opponent, all members of the G2 team started to pack up and prepare to return to the base.

However, tonight's Swiss round draw ceremony did not end here, but continued with the second phase, which is the pairing draw of eight 1-1 teams.

What all the audiences around the world never expected was that this time, the lottery guests actually gave them a super big job in front of the audience all over the world!

That is, the lottery guests turned almost all the draws at this stage into a civil war in the division!

FPX team vs RNG team.

SKT team vs GRF team.

FNC team vs S04 team.

C9 team vs GAM team.

Four groups of duels, three groups of civil war!

If the C9 team and the GAM team were not from the same division, otherwise these four 1-1 team battles would have really turned into a civil war!

The result of this draw is a mixed blessing for the three major competition areas.

The good news is that no matter what the outcome of the civil war is, there will definitely be a team in each division that will advance to the 2-1 group.

The worry is that the team that loses in the civil war will fall into the 1-2 group. Once it falls into this group, if it wants to advance to the quarterfinals, it must compete in the subsequent Swiss round. , won two BO3s in a row!

"This Swiss round format is so exciting..."

When the draw results for the 1-1 group were officially finalized, LPL fans all took a breath after listening to Wang Duoduo and Tong Xi's analysis.

But the mood is still calm, because in their view, whether it is the FPX team or the RNG team that falls into the 1-2 group, there is still a situation where they are "pecking at each other" with other 1-2 teams. There is a very high possibility of bottoming out, rebounding, and reaching the quarterfinals!

Of course, this team had better not be an FPX/RNG team!

This is what fans of the FPX/RNG team think about.

After the second stage of the draw, the third stage followed, which was the draw of four 0-2 teams.

The draw results were released soon. The two matchups were TES team vs. JT team, and RGE team vs. AHQ team.

For the JT team and the AHQ team, this result is naturally a good draw, because they successfully avoided the PCS civil war.

But for the TES team, this lottery is a mid-range lottery.

Although according to common sense, even if the TES team is only the fourth seed in the LPL division, it is difficult to defeat a champion of the PCS division, which is the former champion of the LMS division, but it is still possible with a high probability of success.

But since the GAM team suffered an upset comeback yesterday and the TES team became a "Vietnam prisoner", the majority of LPL fans have lost confidence in the TES team. Especially now that they have met the PCS champion again, they are even less optimistic that the TES team can "upset" win.

But the good news is that this time when the TES team is facing a life-and-death battle, they no longer need to compete continuously like other teams, but have two days of rest and preparation time.

In other words, for the TES team, whether they can continue their journey to the Swiss round of the S9 World Championship depends on the BO3 decisive battle with the JT team two days later!

At this point, all draws for the third round of the Swiss Round have officially ended.

而在八支1-1战队和四支0-2战队都获得了一到两天休息时间的同时，四支2-0的战队却必须马不停蹄的开始准备明天的BO3对决。

Although such a compact schedule that does not even allow for rest time seems a bit unscientific, in fact, this is the scientific point of selecting the "strongest eight teams" under the Swiss round system.

After all, if you want to become the strongest top eight team, you must get a 3-0 victory record. And if you want to get this record, especially the BO3 victory in the last game, it means that this team must have A large number of tactical reserves and the ability to perform on the spot.

As for the losers in tomorrow’s game, whether it’s because they didn’t sleep well tonight, didn’t prepare for BP, or made too many mistakes in tomorrow’s game, or for various other reasons, they will all be the ones who are “not strong enough”. prove!

Regardless of whether it is the G2 team or the DWG team, whether it is the IG team or the TL team, they all want to become one of the two "strongest eight teams" after tomorrow's game, and be the first to win the S9 World Championship. Top eight seats!

But unfortunately, the first team to advance to the quarterfinals can only be between the G2 team and the DWG team.

Because tomorrow, which is the first day of the third round of the Swiss round, the first two games will start is the BO2 contest between the G3 team and the DWG team!

So when time was very tight, while everyone in the G2 team was still on the bus returning, the G2 coach couldn't wait to introduce some basic information about the DWG team to the players.

"Although we mentioned the DWG team during the draw before, everyone must be relatively unfamiliar with this new team in the World Championship, so before formulating tactics, I will briefly introduce the five starting players of the DWG team. "

"Oh, yes, before introducing the players, let me mention the coach of the DWG team, KIM."

"I don’t know if you still remember this person. He was actually the coach of the IG team last year, but this year he returned to the LCK and joined the DWG team. So in terms of team style, we can actually treat the DWG team as a small IG team. look."

"And this is indeed the case, especially the top laner Nuguri of the DWG team. This person is considered to be the strongest player in the DWG team. His style is very similar to that of Theshy. He is a weird operator, so during the game tomorrow, BB needs to be in high spirits."

"Jungle player Canyon is the first jungler to get five kills in the history of LCK. His personal ability is also very good, and he is also the engine of the DWG team. But I am not too worried about him. After all, no matter how strong other junglers are, It’s impossible to be stronger than Dark.”

"The mid laner Showmaker is very strong in the lane and is especially good at assassin-type heroes. As his name suggests, he is a Show Maker and can often perform very good operations."

"Nuclear player in the bottom lane is a veteran player who debuted in 15 years. Although his personal strength is average, he is experienced in the game and is good at heroes like Xayah and Kai'Sa who can take over the game in the later stages."

"Assistant player Beryl is the veteran of the DWG team. His operation does not seem to be top-notch, but his ideas are very powerful. He is one of the support players who uses his brain to play the game. And I heard that this person does not play training matches. The so-called training is some kind of meditation training.”

"Hey Risang, I actually don't understand this guy very well, but you have to pay close attention to him tomorrow and don't lose the laning match to me."

The G2 coach said confidently to Hilisang, who was shocked when he heard it. Although this request was not outrageous, it was a bit bizarre, wasn't it?

"Haha, don't worry, coach, we can't lose."

"You have already said that this DWG team is only a small IG at best. Since we have zero bans on the big IG, can we still be afraid of their small IG?"

"2-0, no matter how good the DWG team is, we will definitely be able to seal them off 2-0 tomorrow!"

When he saw the dumbfounded expression on Hilisang's face, Dark immediately said confidently to the G2 coach, which also gave confidence to his teammates.

"That's for sure, we must keep a clean sheet!"

"But just like the famous Chinese saying you said before, we must despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically."

"So we must take tomorrow's game seriously!"

The G2 coach nodded solemnly, and then said decisively.

"handle it seriously?"

"Not bad, I like to take it seriously."

"So, coach, if we want to seriously fight the DWG team, can we seriously take out the Happy Style Man tomorrow?"

When the G2 coach finished speaking, Perkz's eyes suddenly lit up next to him, and he looked at him with wide eyes and asked expectantly.

And not only Perkz, but also Caps and BrokenBlade. After all, in these days of preparation time, they have developed quite a lot of tactics and routines around the hero "Yasuo"! “Ahem, let’s think about it in detail after we return to the base.”

"But there should be opportunities, but the specific BP situation will have to wait until tomorrow's game to see."

The G2 coach said with a smile, and then did not answer the questions from the players, but he was equally full of expectations for tomorrow's BO3 battle!

……

Although the preparation time of the G2 team lasted until late that night, because they needed to continue to cooperate with Riot officials in the third round of the Swiss Round promotional video early the next morning, all members of the G2 team still had to get up early. , and then reluctantly walked outdoors.

Fortunately, today's game only started at three o'clock in the afternoon. After completing the shooting task, everyone in G2 could take the time to go back and have a rest. Otherwise, they might really face the problem of "bad condition" when playing the game in the afternoon.

While the four 2-0 teams were making final preparations for the game, the audience inside and outside the LEC studio, as well as the official live broadcast rooms of various online competition areas, were already full of expectations for today's game.

The reason is very simple. Today's two BO3 battles just happened to bring together four teams from the four major regions!

Such a "evenly matched" scene among the four major competition areas is unprecedented, and it may not be the same again!

Therefore, under this situation, the viewers from the four major divisions all hope that the representative teams from their respective divisions can defeat their opponents in today's game, and then advance to the quarterfinals of the S9 World Championship first!

"Okay, welcome to all the audience friends on site and in front of the screen to the first day of the third round of the Swiss Round of our S9 World Championship!"

"Hello everyone, I'm your new friend, Gu Gu Gu!"

"Hello everyone, I am your old friend Guan Zeyuan!"

"Hello everyone, I am also your old friend Changmao!"

In the LPL official live broadcast room, as the live stream was officially connected, the three commentators located in the LPL official commentary box appeared together in the sight of the LPL audience.

And when they saw the "enemies" Guan Zeyuan and Changmao reappearing, their faces immediately showed a smile that was not too big to watch, because today's B2 game between the G03 team and the DWG team After it's over, one of the two people will inevitably leave the studio crying.

"I believe that all the viewers in front of the screen are looking forward to the game between the IG team and the TL team today, but before that, we still have to take a look at the competition between the G2 team and the DWG team."

"To be honest, as a new team in the World Championship, I am still surprised that the DWG team can reach the 2-0 group. After all, they only entered the LCK from the secondary league last year, and the team building time is not long. "

Among the three partners, the newcomer Gugugu, who was the field commentator, was the first to speak, but was overtaken by Guan Zeyuan.

"You're right, the DWG team is indeed a young team."

"But if you have any knowledge of the LCK division, you must know that although the DWG team only entered the LCK last year, this year they have already performed as strong as a dark horse."

"In the spring split, the DWG team won the third place in the LCK. In the summer split, the DWG team won the third place and became the third seed in the world championship."

"In the past two rounds of the Swiss Round, the DWG team defeated the strong LEC team RGE and the strong LPL team RNG, and then successfully appeared in front of the G2 team and gained the qualification to challenge them."

"Although there is indeed a certain gap between the DWG team and the defending champion G2 team in terms of card strength, I think that if the G2 team does not make corresponding preparations for the DWG team, then they are also quite likely to be defeated by DWG The team was defeated in an upset!"

Guan Zeyuan, who was on the left side of Gugu Gu, was familiar with all the family treasures and solemnly introduced the basic situation of the DWG team to everyone, but Chang Mao, who was on the right side of Gugu Gu, was dumbfounded and shook his head repeatedly.

"I admit that this year's DWG team does have a dark horse trend. After all, they performed pretty well in the playoffs and the Swiss round."

"But viewers who know the G2 team know that although they like to live a busy life, they will never underestimate any opponent, even a wild card team, but will take it seriously!"

"Besides, in the past few years, I don't know how many new dark horse teams have appeared in major competitions around the world, such as JDG team, GRF team, etc., but judging from the results, there has not been any team so far. The team can beat the G2 team and beat the world champion!"

"Now, let us welcome the next challenger of the G2 team, the DWG team to the stage!"

Changmao said proudly, just as the DWG team was the first to take the stage, so his line became even more powerful!

"Okay, let me take this opportunity to introduce to you the starting lineups of both teams."

"G2 team, top laner BrokenBlade, jungler Dark, mid laner Caps, bottom laner Perkz, assist Hylissang."

"DWG team, top laner Nuguri, jungler Canyon, mid laner Showmaker, bottom laner Nuclear, assist Beryl."

"At the same time, because the G2 team won the coin toss before the game, the G2 team took the lead in choosing the blue side today."

"Then let's look forward to whether the G2 team on the blue side will continue to improve everyone's BP today, and whether the DWG team on the red side can use their tactics to achieve the counter effect that the red side should have. .”

As the drumming sound fell, the players from both teams all boarded the player seats and began the final pre-match equipment debugging.

And when everything was ready, the first game of this BO3 game officially entered the BP stage!

Akali! Syndra! Crocodile!

The first three bans of the blue side G2 team were very targeted. They directly killed the two-handed lane dominating heroes of Showmaker and Nuguri, and at the same time banned Akali, who can swing up and down.

The reason is very simple. These two people, especially Showmaker, have been in really good form recently. Once he takes advantage in the middle, the DWG team's midfielder linkage will most likely cause some trouble to the G2 team.

Qiyana! Pantheon! Luo!

The first three bans of the red side DWG team still followed the consistent banning idea of ​​"targeting Dark" of all major teams. They first banned Qiyana, who had previously taken off in the wild area, and then continued to ban Qiyana, who could move to the midfield. Pantheon, a hero whose current ban rate is almost 100%.

As for the last Luo, it was obvious that he did not want to choose the Xia Luo combination, and was worried that the G2 duo would snatch it away.

And just when everyone thought that the G2 team's first-floor grab would directly grab the Spider, a jungle hero who can also set the pace in the early game for Dark, the G2 team suddenly changed their moves and locked the runes. Mage Ryze is a hero!

"I didn't expect that the G2 team, which is the stronger team, would be the first to change their tactics in today's game, choosing Ryze, a hero who can swing up and down, and it can be regarded as a grab instead of a ban, because Showmaker and Nuguri’s Ryze is pretty awesome too.”

Just a grab from the blue side made Guan Zeyuan tremble all over and feel bad.

"Let me just say, the G2 team will not take it lightly when facing any team."

Changmao smiled and said proudly, and just as he finished speaking, the selection of the first and second floors of the DWG team was quickly finalized.

Kaisha, the daughter of the void!

Thalia the rock bird!

On the first floor, after the DWG team took the initiative to ban support Luo, Nuclear player unexpectedly selected Kai'Sa, who he is best at.

On the second floor, the Canyon player also took the initiative to choose the jungler Yanqiao who has a strong ganking ability. Of course, it may also be the mid laner Yanqiao. After all, the midfielder of the DWG team mainly plays a roaming support.

When they saw the DWG team making such a selection, everyone in the G2 team showed eager smiles on their faces.

“It’s time to give them some intensity.”

Dark smiled slightly, and then together with Caps, they directly locked onto the two heroes on the second and third floors who instantly caused the entire audience to exclaim in unison.

Deep Sea Titan Nautilus!

Swift Sword Master Yasuo! (End of chapter)
