There is a total of one stone in the LPL, and I have twelve buckets exclusively

Chapter 70 68: The First Battle of North American Powerful C9
S3 global finals group stage.

Group A:
SKT T1, win/loss: 7/1, ranked first, qualified.

GMB, win/loss: 6/2, ranked second, qualified.

Group B:
RYL (Royal Family), win/loss: 8/0, ranked first, qualified.

FNC, win/loss: 6/2, ranked second, qualified.

In the group stage, there will be 4 games in 8 days, and 4 teams will be promoted.

Royal Family, which was officially ranked seventh by Riot Games, entered the top 8 with a complete victory and became the biggest dark horse in the S3 global finals.

However, the SSO team, which was placed high expectations by the Korean audience, did not even have the qualifications to qualify.

The performance of the SSO team's hip stretching was completely unexpected to the audience of the Korean Mingguo.

In Riot's official rankings, Faker overwhelms SSO mid laner dade and ranks above dade.

However, in OGN, in Korea, both fans and commentators agree that dade is the world's number one mid laner!

The Faker of the Battle of Double Tribulations?

Put me behind dade!

Dade, who is favored by the Korean audience, performed very hip-stretched in this world championship, and SSO was even eliminated in the group stage.

The angry fans of Daehan Mingguo immediately blasted dade, and the Korean commentator even arranged an award for dade!
Blowing up to the heavens before the game, but the game has a huge dade award!
As the sponsor of dade award, dade won the first dade award!
In the previous life, apart from Dade, Nami from S4, Godv from S5, and Ming Kai from S6 won the dade award.

The fans of Daehan Mingguo scolded Dade, they wished all the members of the SSO team crashed in the plane.

The S3 group stage ended, and all teams had two days of rest. During these two days, the media rearranged the chances of the favorite teams to win the S game.

First of all, the first place is still the EDG team officially recognized by the fist, not the Royal Family who played a crushing performance in the group stage.

Royal Family’s dominance in the group stage is obvious to all, especially Royal Family player Uzi, whose VN shocked the whole world. Many foreign audiences knew for the first time that VN can still be played like this!

However, such a terrifying Royal Family was killed by EDG 3-3 in the S0 Global Finals Trials.

Based on EDG's terrifying record, foreign media ranked EDG first!
The EDG team ranks first in the championship winning percentage list, with a 33% chance of winning.

Ranked second on the championship list is the Royal Family team, and ranked third is the SKT T1 team.

SKT T1's mid laner Faker has shown a strong mid lane dominance, and their team has a 29% chance of winning.

After the championship list was announced, audiences at home and abroad expressed their opinions one after another.

"Damn it, the idiot Fist looked down on my LPL. When I didn't play in the group stage, I ranked the Royal Family seventh. Damn, the Royal Family is so stubborn. After killing them, they obediently ranked the Royal Family second."

"EDG is still cowhide, lock first, invincible existence!"

"The strength of SKT T1 should not be underestimated. When the royal family meets SKT T1, they cannot be taken lightly!"

"Axi, why are the top 2 teams from the LPL, the LPL is a garbage division, but they were randomly killed by us in the All-Star game!"

"Xiba~~, these media don't understand at all, the NJB team is the strongest team!"

"West eight media, is it to kneel down to Huaxia? What is there to kneel down in Huaxia? Isn't my Great Cold Republic stronger than a developing Huaxia?

What is there to kneel down in China? Our Daehan Mingguo has a history of 5000 years. We have four major inventions. We have Chinese characters. We have various traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival. Does Xiba Huaxia have them? "

"Come on SKT T1, come on NJB, kill Huaxia for me!"

"Oh, God, first and second is the LPL team, third and fourth is the Ogn team, why is our C9 not favored?"

"FNC is the strongest!"

The Korean audience was incompetent and furious. They now pin their hopes on SKT T1 and NJB, hoping that these two teams will kill EDG and Royal Family and maintain their poor self-esteem!
"Please, please, don't get EDG, don't get EDG!"

"Brothers, I am willing to use the head coach to be single for ten years, in exchange for our royal family not being able to draw EDG before the finals."

Large meeting room.

Chris looked at Uzi who was praying with murderous eyes, can this little fat man speak, why don't you change yourself for ten years of being single?
wipe!
The members of the royal family watched the lottery on the big screen worriedly, while the members of the EDG team looked indifferent.

The EDG team aims to win the championship, and it doesn't matter who the opponent is.

On the big screen, the draw for the top 8 matches began.

In the top 3 matches of the S8 season, there is no principle of avoiding battles in the same competition area.

The first team drawn was the NJB team. After the drawn staff showed it to everyone, they started to draw the second one.

The second team drawn was GAB, and the third team drawn was EDG.

After seeing that the third team was EDG, the Royal Family members couldn't help but get nervous.

The EDG team is in Group A. If the Royal Family draws the B team, it is possible to play EDG in advance.

To the despair of the royal players, the fourth team is not them, but FNC!

Group A team drawing is over, namely EDG, NJB, GAB and FNC!

"Crap!"

"Why doesn't it work, Chris? Could it be that you won't be able to find a girlfriend in the next ten years? That's why it doesn't work?"

Uzi was once again stared at by Chris' murderous eyes, and now Chris wanted to tie Uzi's mouth with a rope.

On the big screen, the extraction is still going on.

In the current draw, the opponents of the teams in Group A, the first team in Group B is GMB, and the second is RYL!

Seeing the three letters RYL, the royal team burst into cheers.

"NICE!!!"

"Almost, almost, my little heart!"

"Damn it, you don't need to play EDG, it's comfortable, brothers!"

"Chris, thank you!"

Uzi thanked Chris and was kicked away by Chris.

Uzi, who was avoiding Chris, smiled: "Thank you, Chris, I hope I won't be able to draw EDG next time, isn't it ten years of being single, you can do it!"

Amidst the joy and laughter of the royal team members, the top 8 teams were determined.

Group A: NJB vs. GMB, GAB vs. Royal Family, EDG vs. C9, FNC vs. SKT T1.

For this kind of game, not only the players of the royal family are satisfied, but also the domestic audience is particularly satisfied.

"This grouping is really good. I'm still worried that the royal family and the EDG team will directly face off in the top 8!"

"The grouping is good, EDG and Royal Family should both easily advance to the semi-finals!"

"It's comfortable, it's comfortable, who smoked this, I love him to death!"

"I'll be able to watch EDG's game soon, EDG will kill me, let them see why the EDG team is the number one in the world!"

"Scared me into a cold sweat. As a dog fan, I am really afraid that the royal family will run into EDG!"

"Royal Family, EDG, give me a rush, kill labor and management, labor and management will see you meet in the final!"

Domestic audiences are looking forward to EDG's performance in the World Finals.

The first game of the top 8 is NJB vs. GMB.

The game is a BO3 mode. As the seed team of OGN, the strength of NJB should not be underestimated.

In the previous life, NJB almost overturned SKT T1, SKT T1 and NJB were in the semi-final match, NJB beat SKT T1 twice.

This is the only team that double-killed SKT T3 in the S1 finals.

Unlike the SSO team, which is extremely stretched, the NJB team easily defeated the GMB team in two consecutive games and became the first team to advance to the top 4.

"This NJB team is very strong!"

The EDG team, who watched the whole game, commented on NJB. If EDG beats the GAB team, then their opponents in the next round will be the NJB team.

"Their bottom lane is very strong, but I feel that our bottom lane is stronger than them!"

Hirano Ling is very confident in the old thief Sima, and feels that they can beat the opponent in the next lane.

"That's not true, who am I, the old thief Sima, the steady AD, I will definitely kill them!!"

"What if you get blasted by the other side?"

Hirano Ling asked back, and the old thief Sima smiled disdainfully: "Even Uzi can't kill me, so they are worthy?"

"Besides, I have two big daddies, do they have one?"

"Come on, come on, C9 come on!!!"

"C9, the only light in North America, don't be afraid of hardships, beat EDG, I love you all forever!"

"C9 number one, Lady Luck will take care of you!"

Los Angeles, Staples.

This super-large stadium, which can accommodate 2 people, is already overcrowded.

In the S3 season, LOL has surpassed Dota, StarCraft, Warcraft and other games, becoming the world's number one competitive game.

The S3 finals, as a grand ceremony of LOL, no LOL player who likes to watch the game would like to miss it.

Before the game even started, Staples was making waves one after another, and the atmosphere was comparable to that of the Lakers reaching the finals!
C9, a North American team, is the host of the S3 finals.

The C9 team is a dark horse in the North American Division, and it is also the only remaining team in the North American Division. After the members of the C9 team appeared on the stage, the cheers on the scene exploded!

"Hi!!!! I love you!"

"Sneaky, come on, you are the most handsome!"

"Balls, beat EDG for me!"

The sound of the scene was louder and louder, and the C9 players appeared on the stage amidst the cheers of the audience.

Standing in the passageway, looking at the list of C9 team members displayed on the big screen, Lu Yiming was not familiar with it.

The only member of the C9 team he has an impression of is their ADCSneaky.

Know Sneaky, not because of how good he played.

It's because Sneaky's women's clothing looks good.

Women's ADC, Sneaky!

The wave dissipated, and the spotlight hit the front of the EDG channel. Lu Yiming walked outside calmly, not affected by the atmosphere of the scene at all.

"Brother Kai, Brother Kai!"

Ming Kai's sleeves, who were lined up behind Lu Yiming, were tugged. Ming Kai looked back at Old Thief Sima suspiciously, not knowing why.

"Fuck, Brother Kai, I'm so nervous!"

The old thief Sima who usually talked a lot was nervous at the moment, Ming Kai put on a smile on his face, and he patted old thief Sima on the shoulder:

"Take a deep breath. When you walk out, you don't have to look at the audience, just look at the ground."

"I will be nervous when I participate in a competition for the first time. I was also nervous when I participated in IPL5. I was afraid that my hands would shake badly."

Ming Kai was about to continue comforting the old thief Sima, Loong reminded Ming Kai: "Brother Kai, stop talking, it's time for you to come out!"

Ming Kai could only give old thief Sima an encouraging look, he strode out of the passage, enjoying the spotlight!
Today, the world focuses on me!
"I'm still a little nervous, it feels like a dream."

"No, I never dreamed that I would participate in the World Championship!"

"This is the World Championship, the world's top LOL players are here!"

Old Thief Sima was talking to himself, Loong patted Old Thief Sima on the shoulder, then clasped his hands together, making a thousand-year killing motion.

Loong, who has always been prudent, lightly killed the old thief Sima, and the old thief Sima immediately shut his mouth.

"Fuck"

"It's your turn to play!"

Zhu Xiaolong pushed the old thief Sima, and the tension just disappeared immediately after the old thief Sima was killed by him.

"EDG, come on, EDG, come on!"

"EDG, crush them for me!!"

"EDG, slaughter them, charge me!"

EDG wearing a black and red team uniform stood on the stage. The Chinese people who came to watch the game immediately cheered for EDG. In a place not too far from the stage, wearing a long white floral dress, his face With the EDG mark on his face and a glow stick in his hand, Bai Yejin cheered for Lu Yiming with his loudest voice:
"Godfather, come on, you are the number one in the world, and you will always be the number one in the world!"

"Godfather, come on, let's go!"

As if hearing her own shout, Bai Yejin saw Lu Yiming standing on the stage smiling in her direction.

"Come on ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Bai Yejin screamed excitedly, she is now Lu Yiming's brain-dead fan, the ultimate brain-dead fan girl.

When Lu's father and Lu's mother saw this scene, their faces were also full of smiles.

After C9 and EDG team members took the stage, the host on the scene began to introduce the team members in English, and at the same time, a short video of C9 and EDG's expedition began to be played on the big screen.

As the parties involved, Lu Yiming and others came to the EDG competition booth at the invitation of the staff.

The S3 finals finally looked like a regular game. The two teams competed in two rooms, which fundamentally prevented screen snooping and fan reporting.

After debugging the keyboard and mouse, the EDG team and the C9 team officially started the game.

"Okay, the two sides have entered the BP interface, and our long-awaited top 8 match has officially begun."

"This is the first time the EDG team has appeared in the World Championship. In the official ranking of Riot Games, the EDG team has reached the top, and in the ranking given by the media, EDG is still ranked first!"

"The whole world recognizes EDG's strength, and I think this is our LPL's honor."

"Then let's see if the EDG team can play the world's number one momentum in today's first game!!"

With the excitement of the LPL commentator, the BP of the EDG team and the C9 team started.

For the C9 team, EDG still gave a little bit of respect.

C9's mid laner is Hai, nicknamed Haige, a Chinese player who scored 2 points on the North American server in the S2500 season.

Hai is the No. 9 mid laner in North America, with a hand of cards. Jess and Kenan play superbly, and are the backbone of the C[-] team.

The EDG team banned Hai's Jayce, and also banned Shen and Wei.

For the C9 team, clockwork, fox and blind monk were banned.

"The C9 team still respects the godfather very much, and banned two mid laners!"

"Why not three, you forgot the single blind monk among the godfathers?"

The two commentators teased that Lu Yiming's mid-lane blind monk is at the level of the Da Luo Jinxian, and how many LOL players have learned Lu Yiming's blind monk's operation!

After the BP ended, the C9 team on the blue side directly locked the most powerful hero in the current version, Jie, and EDG locked the crocodile and the enchantress.

"The Enchantress??"

"It's tricky, but it doesn't matter, countless enchantresses have died in my hands."

"Godfather, right? I'll let you know what the real No. [-] mid laner in the world is."

For Lu Yiming, Dan Hai in C9 is very unconvinced. He has been an e-sports genius since he was a child. CS and Warcraft are all good at games.

After moving to LOL, he easily climbed to the top of the North American server and became the veteran of the C9 team.

C9 took the Titan again, Zac the two heroes, EDG took out the bull head and EZ, and then C9 locked the plane and the sword demon.

Seeing that C9 took out Zac and Sword Demon's resurrection-style Ueno combination, EDG's Ming Kai couldn't help laughing:

"C9 is not bad. It is indeed the dark horse in North America. I also know that the resurrection of Zac Sword Demon is in Ueno."

"I'll use the spider, and I'll let C9 know whether Zac Sword Demon, the revived Uekai, is better at tower jumping, or the combination of spider and crocodile zoo is better at tower jumping!"

Since Sword Demon landed in LOL, Zac Sword Demon, the upper-field combination, has been developed by many teams. These two heroes have been revived in the early stage, and they are much stronger than other heroes in tower jumping.

But EDG is not interested in the combination of Zac Sword Demon at all. After countless experiments, EDG came to a conclusion.

The Ueno combination of crocodile + spider is stronger than the Ueno combination of Zac Sword Demon in terms of early combat effectiveness and tower jumping ability.

Ming Kai took out a spider to play wild, and the lineups of both sides were quickly determined.

Blue side C9, top laner Zac, jungler Sword Demon, mid laner Jie, bottom laner Airplane+Titan.

Red Fang EDG, top lane crocodile, jungle spider, mid lane enchantress, bottom lane EZ+Taurus.

From the lineup point of view, EDG's lineup is more inclined to the early and mid-term.

The C9 lineup is more late.

Regular AP runes, flash and ignite.

Lu Yiming didn't play any routines on the rune talent. For the C9 team, Lu Yiming didn't need to play any tactical routines at all.

It's OK to crush the strength!

Entering the game, EDG chose to occupy the position with one-word star Luo to avoid playing a level 9 team with C1.

C9 has Titan Hook, Zac's E skill and passive resurrection, and Sword Demon's Q skill and passive resurrection. It is relatively disadvantageous to play a level 9 team with C1.

But contrary to EDG, C9 chose to invade in groups, EDG looked to retreat, and Mingkai was forced by C9 to leave the lower half and go to the upper half.

"The C9 team chose to invade, Ming Kai was forced to change the field, and the EDG team had a bad start!"

Seeing the EDG team being forced to change the field by the C9 team at the beginning of the game, impatient domestic audiences jumped out one after another.

"Damn it, what's going on with the EDG team, why did they switch to the wild at the beginning?"

"Hey, isn't the godfather known as Zhuge Yiming? He has a set of tactics in the country. How come he has no tactics in the World Championship?"

"What is EDG doing? What about Lu Yiming's tactics? What happened to the master tactician Lu Yiming today?"

"Fuck, how good is Lu Yiming's tactical design in the domestic game, why did he lose his tactics when he went abroad? Ming Kai was forced to change the field, thanks!"

The impatient audience kept yelling, but less than a minute later, their mouths were all shut.

Because Lu Yiming let them know what the world's number one mid laner is! ! !
