Chapter 165
[The play-in tournament has officially begun!In order to facilitate a unified perspective, the protagonist will be called Xiao Tao from now on, which is the same as the title of the EDG team members] The play-in tournament has
been drawn
! WBG is so powerful! The last play-off ticket turned out to be a huge advantage.
WBG's opponents include HLE, the fifth seed in the LCK, and the fifth seed in the European region. However, these two opponents are vulnerable in front of WBG.
Wow! WBG has successfully advanced to the play-in tournament and competed with EDG for tickets to the main stage of the group stage
! Now, the play-in tournament is good! The two LPL teams, as well as the No. 4 seed in the LCK, the No. 4 seed in the European and American regions
, and the strong team in the wild card competition! There is also the Vietnamese team that LPL audiences like to watch the most, the Japanese team!
In the last Asian Games, we almost lost to the Vietnamese team, and we won't lose again in this World Championship!
The Japanese division LJL once reached the main stage of the group stage. However, the overall strength of this division is not high, if you face the Japanese team
, EDG's winning chance is not small! The results are out
!EDG! Draw a not very good draw, but it's not bad!
【Group A: FNC,EDG,DFM,BYG,SGB,IW】【Group B: WBG,DK,MAD,R7,GS,100T
】
These 12 teams will compete for four tickets to the group stage.
The competition format is a single-round robin BO1 format, and after the group stage of the play-in round, the top of each group will directly advance to the group stage, and the last two in each group will be eliminated directly.
The third and fourth place finishers in each group will play a BO5, and the winner and the second place finisher in the opposite group will play a BO5.
The last BO5, whoever wins will get a ticket to the group stage
! It can be said that this year's play-in competition system is also quite fair! BO1 and BO5 have both competition systems, which are relatively perfect and easy to understand. And the last BO5 cross-regional life-and-death battle has a lot to watch.
[Group A]
This group has the former overlord of the European region, the former world champion FNC team, and the team that has also played the World Championship final with IG.
Needless to say, EDG has a better chance of winning than the fourth seed in the LPL region.
SGB is a new force in Vietnam, and once almost toppled the T1 team on MSI. The overall style is tough, likes to fight, and is a bit similar to the LPL style, and the operation ability is weak.
DFM is a veteran powerhouse in Japan, composed of Japanese players and Korean foreign players, and the team plays in a weird way, and likes to use the hero of the great inventor.
BYG is a new team in the PCS region, and its record is acceptable since its establishment, and it has also played against strong teams such as FNC and EG in the World Championship.
Team IW is a regular participant in the play-in tournaments, and the strong team in the Wild Card Division is considered the weakest team in this group.
【Group B】
DK, formerly known as DWG, is the world champion in S10 and the world runner-up in S11.
However, this season, DK jungler third uncle, the state decline is more serious. Xu Xiu, the soul of the team, once revealed many times in the live broadcast that playing professionally is just a simple commute, and there is no passion at the beginning. However, with the addition of veteran DEFT this season, the ceiling may be high.
WBG, the fifth seed in the LPL region, unfortunately lost to EDG in the bubble match. However, the WBG of the play-in tournament is very fierce, which may be the right version, strengthening Xiaohu's Galio and Ice Girl, and Xiaohu is in very good shape. In the play-in tournament, he didn't lose a small game, which was very fierce.
MAD is a European Lions team, and although their form has been up and down this season, they still have the ability to qualify for the main event. Speaking of the MAD team, it is the eternal pain in the hearts of EDG top laner Ale players. When Ah Le was in LNG, he was sent away by MAD in the last game of the group stage.
At that time, Ah Le's Kenan was developing very well, but the late big move was not very good, and he was consumed by MAD, and in the end, MAD's EZ big move scraped Ah Le and Leng Shao, so that LNG lost the opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals.
This hurts! Ah Le is also very hurt when he thinks about it now!
At this moment, Ah Le must really want to meet the MAD team and avenge the revenge of the year
! Unfortunately, MAD was assigned to the next group, if you really want to face the MAD team, it can only be the final life and death BO5 battle in the play-in round
! That life and death battle, you can challenge the team next door!
R7,GS, 100T is a strong team in each division, and 100T often enters the main competition, which is not a soft persimmon.
Judging from the overall strength of the two groups of AB, Group B may have a stronger overall strength, and the overall strength of Group A is more average.
Commentator Miller looked at this group and analyzed: "This group is more beneficial to WBG, after all, they used to be SN, although they have reached the finals, but it has been a long time since they reached the World Championships." As long as this group can beat DK, it will not be a problem to win the top spot in the group. Commentary
957 said bluntly: "I think Group A is more difficult to distinguish, EDG, FNC and BYG, almost all of them are open to me here." I think there will be a lot more evenly matched battles in Group A. "
Although there is a division this year, one team has given up its place in the play-in tournament due to its own reasons. However, strengthening the WBG is good for the overall play-in tournament.
Finally, the three commentators also gave their final views on qualifying
: Commentary Miller: [Group A EDG FNC B Group DK WBG] Commentary 957: [Group A DFM EDG B Group WBG MAD] Commentary Duoduo: [Group A EDG BYG B Group WBG 100T
]. The three commentators, without exception, are optimistic about EDG and WBG, and they can win and get a ticket to the main match relatively smoothly.
Commentary Miller: "I'm not optimistic about BYG in Group A, mainly because FNC's performance this season is also stable, and after UZI came to EDG, the second half of the state is okay." Group B DK and WBG, I think it's the strength of the crushing. Commentary
957: "I want to surprise myself in Group A, since the DFM was able to advance to the group stage last time, I believe them again this time." As for EDG, after Xiao Tao joined, I felt that EDG was very stable. Commenting
a lot: "Group A has nothing to say, and I am still optimistic about BYG in the end for the second chapter ticket." BYG is their dark horse of the season, and their performance is relatively stable, and they rarely overturn. I am optimistic about 100T in the other place in Group B, although there have been a lot of small turmoil in the North American region this season, but the 100T style of play is a bit like LCK, which I appreciate more. At
this moment, Xiao Tao's
face was covered with sweat! Xiao Tao was
frightened! He was frightened by the result
of the draw! What! EDG
! He actually had to play the Japanese and Vietnamese divisions
in the finals! These two teams are not strong! However, we must not lose!
When we
think of the Asian Games, we almost lost to the Vietnamese team!
Suddenly, I felt an invisible pressure in my heart
!DFM
!SGB Big Buffalo
!It's impossible to overturn
!Don't be afraid of anything!
