Stop contacting LPL, we are so unfamiliar!

"Never be RNG, never be RNG, never be RNG..."

"Never be SKT, never be SKT, never be SKT..."

When the draw guest's right hand slowly reached into the 3-2 seed pool with only two small balls left, not only the fans of the RNG team, but also the fans of the SKT team also lowered their heads, clasped their fists, and They closed their eyes and began their extremely intense "pre-pumping" prayer.

There is no other reason. Whether it is the RNG team or the SKT team, they really don’t want to meet the defending champion G2 team again when they are in the eighth and fourth knockout rounds!

Although as a professional team, the championship is their ultimate goal, so even if they face the G2 team, they must do everything they can to win the game.

But the problem is that in the past games against the G2 team, the two teams combined have never won even a BO5 victory!

In other words, although fans of both teams are reluctant to admit it, if their home team is really drawn out after a while...

That is tantamount to announcing the end of this S9 World Championship in advance!

So, amid the prayers of fans of the two teams, the lottery guest finally pulled out a small ball, opened it, slowly unfolded the note inside, and then faced the camera...

RNG!

At this moment, the dust has settled!

Everyone never expected that after a full year, the G2 team and the RNG team would meet again in the eight-to-four knockout stage!

The only difference is that the half zone the two teams are in has changed from the upper half to the lower half!

hum...

At this moment, not only the fans of the RNG team, but also the players of the RNG team felt their heads buzzing.

Because the draw result they were most worried about and least expected to see actually happened again.

What was completely different from the reaction of the RNG team was that the players and fans of the SKT team all breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the lottery results.

Because they really don’t want to play BO2 with the G5 team anymore, at least not before the S9 finals.

As for the other party involved in this draw, it is also the G2 team. Although before the draw results were released, Dark had repeatedly told his teammates not to laugh no matter what the draw results were.

But when they saw the RNG team's icon and the G2 team's icon next to each other again, a series of uncontrollable chuckles erupted in the G2 team's training room.

It's just that no one dared to laugh so wildly like the RNG team last year, so that everyone's expressions were so suppressed that their faces turned red and their necks were thick, and they finally returned to normal.

"Ahem Dark, I don't really like to laugh, unless I really can't help it like this time."

"After all, who would have thought that we would be so obedient to our words, and the lottery guests would be so awesome, saying RNG is RNG!"

Perkz reacted immediately and hurriedly explained to Dark, but the corners of his mouth were still raised crazily, unable to hide the smile in his heart.

"It's okay. After all, after FNC is withdrawn, our opponent will be either RNG or SKT. No matter who we encounter again, it will be normal."

"And I actually prefer to play the RNG team in the quarterfinals, because we haven't played against the RNG team this year."

"If I don't beat the RNG team once a year, I always feel that this year is not perfect."

Seeing Perkz's suppressed smile, Dark couldn't help but laugh as well, not to mention how much he wanted to see the reactions of the RNG team players right away.

I don’t know if they are crying or silent at this time. They can’t be laughing like last year, right?

But what Dark didn't know and was disappointed was that in the RNG team training room at this time, the expressions of the RNG team players were actually smiling!

But this smile is not the arrogant smile of last year's S8, but the bitter smile of this year's S9.

Because as Dark said before, the G2 team has become an eternal nightmare in the hearts of their RNG team, becoming a mountain that they can never seem to cross!

"Brothers, don't look so ugly, cheer up."

At this moment, in the silent RNG training room, the voice of the team's core player Uzi suddenly sounded slowly.

"We did not win when we played G2 before, but we have also summarized the reasons. In addition to the gap in strength, there were also big problems with our previous mentality."

"But this year is different. After experiencing the trough of the spring split and the hardships of the summer split, our RNG team has stood up again."

"In addition, we have been studying the G2 team for a whole year, so in the next quarter-finals, whether it is mentality, tactics, or our personal strength, we will have the best hope of defeating the G2 team... "

"No, this is the year we can definitely defeat the G2 team!"

"There are still several days of preparation time before the quarterfinals. As long as we prepare well, we will definitely be able to defeat G2, advance to the semifinals, and then win the championship!"

Uzi gritted his teeth, his eyes were about to burst, and he spoke loudly, exuding a life-or-death aura of failure or success.

When he said these words, the RNG players who had been a little desperate before were finally ignited by Uzi with the courage to win. They slowly raised their chests and raised their heads, and then shouted out their own slogan together. .

RNG, never give up!

And just as the players of the RNG team were working hard for themselves, the remaining draws for the guests were finally completed.

The FPX team drew the SKT team and was placed in the top half.

The IG team drew the DWG team and was divided into the lower half.

So now, with the draw of the quarter-finals, the specific matchups of the quarter-finals of this S9 World Championship knockout round have finally been officially released!

In the first half, the TL team faced the FNC team, and the FPX team faced the SKT team.

In the second half, the G2 team faced the RNG team, and the IG team faced the DWG team.

When they saw the lottery results, almost all LPL fans instantly felt chilled.

Because in their view, this draw result seems to be the LPL division trying to balance the explosion of luck in the Swiss round.

Because the opponents the three LPL teams encountered in the quarterfinals were all a bit too strong!

There is no need to say anything more about the RNG team beating the G2 team. There is at least a % chance that they cannot win.

The battle for the division championship between the FPX team and the SKT team also needs to be very worrying for LPL fans. After all, the LPL division has almost never won when facing the powerful SKT team.

The IG team's match against the DWG team seems to have the highest winning rate, but it is only relatively speaking. After all, the dark horse status of the DWG team in this year's World Championship is clearly visible to everyone, and if the IG team If problems arise again, it's hard to say whether they can win against the DWG team.

But for the IG team, even if they pass the DWG team's level, their future is still uncertain, because after advancing to the semi-finals, the IG team's next opponent will be the G2 team again!

……

"A shady secret! This must be a shady secret! Why should we, RNG, play G2 again? Can't we be allowed to play TL?"

"Shady der, if you have the ability, ask your RNG not to go 3-2, or just don't enter the quarterfinals."       "It's just shady! The opponents of the quarterfinals of the three LPL teams this year are so strong, it's not shady and it's What?"

"It must be the fault of LEC officials. In order to vent their anger for Dark, they directly arranged a script in which all three LPL teams will be eliminated in the quarterfinals. It's really stupid!"

"No, we are just talking about is there a possibility that all three LPL teams will advance to the semi-finals? Let's not mention RNG. At least IG and FPX still have a chance to beat DWG and SKT!"

"Come on, no matter how much you fantasize, it's useless. This year is the most hopeless year for LPL! Just wait and wait for all LPL teams to stop in the top eight and completely start the second dark era of LPL!"

Although it was just a simple draw ceremony for the top eight, the repercussions it brought were greater than the TES team's failure to stop in the top 16.

After all, after the results of the top eight draws were released, LPL fans who were very optimistic that the LPL division could achieve another good result yesterday became pessimistic about the LPL division today.

Because whether it is the G2 team or the SKT team, they are clearly the kings of their respective half regions!

And if nothing unexpected happens, the agreement made by the G2 team and the SKT team after the MSI finals to meet again in the S9 finals will really come true!

"Damn, they are a bunch of cowards. This one won't work and that one won't work before the knockout rounds have started. Why don't we just stop the World Championships and award the championship trophy to the G2 team directly, or let G2 and SKT compete directly in the finals."

"It's so disgusting. You have already knelt down to the enemy before the battle started. Are your bones too soft? Let me tell you, this year's G2 team and SKT team are really impossible to defeat! Because this year’s version of the World Championship is actually a version of the mid laner, as long as the mid laner is strong enough, he will have a chance to win!”

"That's it, haven't you noticed that this year's version of the World Championship is tailor-made for Doinb? I don't know about other teams, but at least the FPX team can definitely break out of the top half and reach the finals!"

Above the scarves, when the S quarter-finals draw ceremony officially ended, countless LPL viewers had already begun to look forward to the future S9 World Championship journey in the LPL division.

Either they are bullish or bullish, they all hold their own opinions and are quarrelsome.

But no matter how noisy the audience is, these off-field sounds are inaudible to the major teams. After all, the most important thing they need to do now is to prepare for the upcoming eight-to-four knockout round!

However, before the knockout rounds officially begin, all the top eight teams need to do one more thing, and that is to move their positions.

Because with the end of all the Swiss Round games, the LEC Studio and Verti Concert Hall in Berlin, Germany, have also successfully completed their hosting tasks.

In the next quarter-finals and semi-finals, the top eight teams will need to go to the Vista Allegre Palace in Madrid, Spain.

Therefore, the day after the Swiss round ended, the eight teams set off from Berlin one after another, and then headed to the next competition location one after another, and began their intense preparations.

At the same time, the BO5 schedule for the four quarter-finals has finally been officially finalized.

On October 10, the FPX team faced the SKT team.

On October 10, the TL team faced the FNC team.

On October 10, the G30 team faced the RNG team.

On October 10st, the IG team faced the DWG team.

After the schedule is finalized, there is only one thing left for all League of Legends viewers around the world to do.

That's waiting!

Fortunately, a week is neither long nor short. When the calendar slowly tears from October 10 to October 23, the S10 World Championship knockout journey finally begins!

The first quarter-final knockout match is a top priority for League of Legends viewers around the world.

Because although the audience did not see the preview of the finals between the G2 team and the SKT team in the eighth and fourth stages, what they are about to see is a powerful confrontation between the two division champions, the FPX team and the SKT team!

At the same time, from another perspective, the victory of this game will also determine whether LPL is greater than LCK or LCK is greater than LPL today!

So, under the watchful eye of all the spectators, this showdown in which the brave will win finally started fiercely.

It’s really quite tragic!

From the first game of BO5, both teams started a life-and-death game.

So much so that during the mutually determined game, the entire BO5 was abruptly dragged into the deciding game of the fifth game.

In the final battle, although Faker was in an outrageous state and played a series of operations that seemed to be assisted by a god, no one expected that the five players on the FPX team would actually perform burning moves at the same time. A life-like performance!

Whether it's top laner Gimgoon, jungler Tian, ​​mid laner Doinb, bottom laner LWX, or support player Crisp, everyone's game status is at full capacity, and they have played miraculous team battles several times!

Therefore, with the FPX team performing like this, no matter how hard the SKT team players tried their best to defend the defense, they still fell to the FPX team's "brothers working together to cut off the gold" offensive.

"No one expected, no one expected that the SKT team, which was highly regarded by audiences in major competition regions around the world, would eventually fall into the hands of our LPL division champion FPX team!"

"Let us congratulate the FPX team for successfully defeating the SKT team with a score of 3 to 2 and advancing to the semi-finals of the S9 World Championship!"

"Who on earth is saying that our LPL champion team is always a civil war between insiders and outsiders? Today's FPX team is a strong counterattack against such ridiculous remarks!"

"Although our LPL team will not play in tomorrow's game, we have reason to believe that after seeing the FPX team defeat the SKT team, the RNG team will definitely feel the unparalleled courage and belief to support them in defeating the powerful team. G2 team!"

"Let us congratulate the FPX team again, and at the same time, let us wish the RNG team together, and hope that they can defeat G2 and create a miracle!"

Looking at the entire LPL division, when the FPX team really "unbelievably" defeated the SKT team, all LPL fans were going crazy. It was like it was the Chinese New Year, it was like they had won the championship, and they celebrated this game heartily. The hard-won victory is a celebration of "the most promising year in LPL".

Although there were no LPL teams participating in the second day's game, the joy of LPL fans did not diminish because of this, but instead became more and more exuberant.

The reason is very simple, that is, in today's match between the TL team and the FNC team, the FNC team miraculously defeated the TL team with a score of 3 to 1 and advanced to the semi-finals of the S9 World Championship!

So at this moment, the smiles on the faces of all LPL fans finally couldn't suppress their brightness anymore, because they seemed to have really seen the hope that the RNG team would defeat the G2 team tomorrow!

"Okay, okay! Ok, okay! This year is not only the most promising year for LPL, but also an upset year!"

"The FPX team upset the SKT team, and the 3-2 FNC team upset the 3-0 TL team. Then tomorrow, we have reason to believe that the RNG team can continue this upset rhythm, avenge G2, and advance to the semi-finals. !”

"I don't really believe in metaphysics, but I do think that the RNG team really has a chance! Why did the TL team lose today? Is it because they are really not strong enough? No, it's because they haven't played for too long. It’s time to pass the game!”

"Since October 10th, the 14-3 TL team has ended their Swiss round and then entered the two-week offseason, but the FNC team has been playing until October 0nd. Compared to the TL team's already cool game state, the FNC team can be said to be hot!"

“所以明天的G2战队也一定是同样如此的，10月14号到10月30号，整整15天没有打过比赛的他们，又怎么可能在比赛状态上赢得过我们同样打到了瑞士轮最后一天的RNG战队？！”

"Hahaha, I suddenly love this Swiss round format. For the 3-0 team, this is simply a super invincible debuff!"

"G2 is indeed very strong, but let me tell you, if they don't play a game for two weeks in a row, they won't even be able to operate the mouse and keyboard when they play again!"

"This is definitely an opportunity for the RNG team! Even if they win, it's a bit of a win, but it doesn't matter, as long as they can beat the G2 team, no one will care about the process!"

"Nice! Three years, three years! Do you know how RNG got through these three years? But tomorrow, the RNG team will finally have a chance to avenge G2, kill Dark, and then move forward to win the championship!"

"RNG must work hard! In this battle, you can only succeed, not fail!"

This time, not only fans of the RNG team, but also the vast majority of LPL fans really think that the RNG team is doing well again.

After all, in their view, with the blessing of various factors, the S9 World Championship seems to be a year that can create miracles one after another!

So, just as all LPL fans were impatient, October 10, the third match day of the quarter-finals of the S30 World Championship, finally arrived quietly.

Today's BO5 battle is between the G2 team and the RNG team! (End of chapter)
