Chapter 392: Civil War and Friends and Foes
Although EBF lost to SS twice in the group stage, it also played its blood, especially Tang Yue's performance made countless viewers astonished, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see the importance of Tang Yue in the EBF team.
You must know that only a few months ago, IC lost to SS in the MSI mid-season competition, and it can almost be said that it was beaten to a dead end, and only a few months later, EBF was reborn to replace IC, and was able to play a long role with SS, most of the credit is attributed to Tang Yue, a rising star who has been in the dust for a long time.
Although EBF lost to SS, it did not delay against the RC and TGN teams in the same group, and directly beat them cleanly to score four points, followed by SS as the second seed in Group C, and there was no tie in the situation that required a play-off.
In the first round of the group round-robin, Team QAQ and Team ZA each scored two points, while Team SC and Team MD only had one point.
And in the first game of the opening game, the QAQ team went all out to defeat ZA, and then easily eliminated the SC and MD teams, the current version is still relatively friendly to the jungler, because the experience of many wild monsters in the wild area has been raised, so that as long as the jungler brushes fast enough, the level will not be lower than the top laner, and it can even be compared to the highest level of the mid laner.
Although the most mainstream jungler heroes in the version are tank junglers such as Pig Girl, Wine Barrel, and Zack, carnivorous junglers such as Male Gun, Qianjue, Leopard Girl, Elise, Mantis, and Prince also occupy a place in the professional game.
It is the strength of Li Qianqiu that can be played very well, and it was only because it was too paralyzed and careless to lose to the ZA team, and at this time, under the full effort, it was like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and it was the first to advance from Group D with five points.
Although the ZA team could not turn the tables and lose to the prestigious QAQ team like the first time, the team's resilience was still strong, and they defeated the SC team to win the third point, but then lost to the MD team with a more restrained style.
For teams of similar level, if there is no decisive genius similar to Li Haolin, Tang Yue, and Coco Li in the two teams, what you look at is the overall level and style of play of both sides.
Although the style of play of each team cannot be said to be static, even if it does not change much, after all, a tactic that originally played four guarantees and one can feel a little overwhelmed when it turns to a dual-core or three-core lineup.
Therefore, the style of each team is different and at the same time closely related to each other, similar to rock-paper-scissors, one link is linked to another, and similar to water and fire are generally incompatible, and although water can extinguish fire, fire can also evaporate water, compared to the decision at the last moment.
Although MD defeated the ZA team, it was a pity to lose to the SC team after that, and in the end, it was the same as SC with 2 points, and the ZA team with three points was directly eliminated from the competition, and unfortunately left this chaotic battlefield that had just begun to fight for the nations.
Now that the group stage has come to a perfect end, the eight teams that have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals have all been decided, namely BF and FA in Group A; GNR and GR in group B; SS and EBF in group C; Qaq, ZA in group D.
After a brief break, the eight teams will play the quarter-finals at the Guangdong Stadium in Guangdong, China, also known as the quarter-finals, in a BO5 format, the best-of-five format that is most familiar to all spectators.
The draw ceremony was still held before the official start of the quarterfinals, and the rules of the draw have also changed dramatically, first of all, the four teams that finished first in the group stage will face the other four teams who finished second in the group stage, and secondly, the teams that advance from the same group in the group stage are not assigned to the quarterfinals in the same division.
The first rule is to ensure the priority of the first team in the group, after all, as long as they can advance as the first team in the group stage, they will meet a weaker opponent in the quarterfinals, that is, the second seed team in the other group, and if they advance in the second group, then they will inevitably meet the best team in the other groups, that is, the first seed team in the rest of the groups.
The second rule is very simple to understand, in order not to affect the enjoyment of the game, those teams that have fought to the death in the group stage will not meet again in the quarterfinals, which means that FA does not need to face BF with Coco Li in charge, and EBF will not be able to declare war against SS again for the time being.
The lottery ceremony was carried out by a retired player with older qualifications in China, and the results soon spread quickly on the Internet, and more viewers were able to know who and whom in the quarterfinals were divided together at the first time directly through the live broadcast of the draw, and after seeing the final draw results, countless viewers no longer knew whether to be happy or sad, to be precise, there was even a bit of crying and laughing in it.
BF vs. EBF, GNR vs. ZA, SS vs. FA, QAQ vs. GR.
After learning the results of this draw, countless viewers almost felt that this year's S10 World Finals is indeed a bit evil, the two teams from the LPL and the two teams from the LCK actually succeeded in the quarterfinals There was a civil war, if it wasn't for the face-to-face lottery to show fairness, I'm afraid some viewers would think that there was a dark operation behind it.
After all, this situation is really a very coincidence, the world's two strongest League of Legends divisions are LPL and LCK, after years of games, there have been many contradictions between fans in China and South Korea, since the year BF went to South Korea to fight the Dragon and Tiger Cup, after the "network line door" incident, Chinese fans often choose to go over the wall to the Korean forum to openly open the scolding war, triggering a scolding war without gunpowder.
And it turns out that although Chinese trolls are famous all over the world, trolls are not a Chinese specialty after all, and the people of which country will not scold them? From arguing about who is the labor to you MMP, from Nima blowing up to you paralysis, from eating shit to being stupid, the art of scolding has never stopped developing, and has been carried forward by countless people, from arguing and greeting ancestors to metaphors, from getting straight to the point to pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, never stop moving forward.
Think back to the end of the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France. The British archers inflicted heavy losses on the French, who vowed to cut off the middle finger of the English archer's bow after defeating the British. But as a result, the French army suffered a crushing defeat. As the French retreated, the British archers extended their right middle fingers to show off their still existing middle fingers. This insulting gesture quickly "went viral" in Western countries.
To this day, this famous gesture has long been famous all over the world, no matter which country the people will always give a middle finger when they encounter a despicable person or thing, and silently express the countless galloping grass and mud horses in their hearts.
There is constant friction between Chinese and Korean trolls, and there is also constant gunsmoke between the teams of LPL and LCK, and the heroes of the anti-Korean resistance are spraying out like a spring, but sometimes even the so-called heroes themselves may not know that they have been entrusted with such a "sacred" and "inviolable" mission.
And now the result of the draw is so funny, the friction between the LPL and the LCK has not ended, the victory or defeat between BF and FA, SS and EBF has not been completely decided, and the first seed in the two major regions met their own teams in the quarterfinals.
Although they are all rivals who have known each other for many years in this region, they are a family from the same region on the stage of the World Finals.
After the draw results of the quarterfinals came out, the most advantageous ones were the four teams that did not have a chance to play with the LPL or LCK in the quarterfinals, after all, the LPL and LCK have been grudges for a long time, and they can be described as two behemoths fighting each other, and the teams in their divisions are not easy to match.
Whether it's the current BF that seems to be the return of the king or the SS who is still strong and high-eyed, it's not something that other teams can afford to provoke rashly.,And even EBF and FA are not the kind of good stubble that can be ignored.,You don't see that the FA team didn't do their best in the battle with the BF team.,I don't know how much I left behind.。
And EBF doesn't have to speculate and delusional, as long as they are not blind and idiots, after watching the game video of EBF and SS, they will not ignore the incomparable strength of EBF's new top-laner overlord Tang Yue, which can be compared to the absolute overwhelming strength of Li Haolin and Coco Li.
It is easy to understand what is overwhelmingly powerful, and it is enough to be rated overwhelmingly strong by everyone if you are above all other players in your current position, and it may be difficult to guess the outcome of the battle between a tiger and a lion, but there is no need to think about the comparison between a tiger and a wild dog, and this is the so-called overwhelming and undoubted strength.
Of course, there is a better and simpler way, according to one sentence, you can clearly distinguish the true strength of this player, that is: many people spray the player may not be the most vegetable, and the player who makes the troll can't find the black spot to spray is definitely the strongest.
You must know that in today's era, trolls also score three, six, nine, etc., low-level trolls open and close their mouths mmp will only scold their mothers to greet other people's ancestors, a little smarter trolls will understand the importance of throwing the pot, and high-level trolls will be terrible, black dots from the beginning to the end, not only can the black be said to be white, the white is said to be black, the key is to like to talk about evidence, but also to get the so-called evidence, this is where the knowledge of advanced trolls lies.
And some people, even if they are high-level trolls, it is difficult for natural trolls to find black spots to smear, and if they really want to be black, they can only defile black spots to confuse the eyes of the-eating masses to achieve their goals, otherwise they can only give up their principles and spray indiscriminately like low-level trolls.
Geniuses can be said to be not uncommon in this world, but there are very few real cross-era geniuses, if most of the professional players in League of Legends are just ordinary geniuses, then people like Tang Yue or Coco Li are geniuses among geniuses.
At the beginning, a certain fan player of League of Legends put together the five strongest players in the League of Legends at that time into a team, jokingly calling this team the "God Team", which could beat all the teams of the League of Legends at that time, and at that time, no one dared to overturn and question the arrogant remarks of this player.
The root cause is also because the five members of the "God Team" in his mouth were indeed the five strongest genius players at that time, Yu Huan in the top laner, Li Qianqiu in the jungle, Bai Yitong in the middle laner, Coco Li in the shooter, and Hong Qimin in the auxiliary. This lineup seemed to be indeed invulnerable at the time, and no one dared to speak rashly to overturn it, after all, the achievements of these five people were indeed a bit inhuman in terms of pure resumes.
The remaining four teams are still very happy to see the two major civil wars between LPL and LCK in the quarterfinals, after all, although the teams in other regions are tricky or difficult to defeat, they are still much better than the teams from LPL or LCK.
The love and killing between these two old enemies is really as ferocious as Kazik and Rengar in the backstory of the League of Legends, and if you dare to cut off my wings, I will immediately blind your eyeballs and make you feel miserable to be a one-eyed dragon for the rest of your life, such as Teemo and the like, and dare to intervene in it and die.
But maybe it's because you've been fighting for too long between the two sides, and the LCK and LPL teams have also developed a kind of friend and foe relationship with Rengar and Kazik, and I want to kill you, but I'm reluctant to kill you.
This kind of relationship similar to "friend and foe" can probably be called a frenemy if it is used as an English metaphor: it is a combination of the words friend (friend) and enemy (enemy), which refers to enemies disguised as friends or rivals who compete with each other.
This kind of contradictory relationship does exist, whether it is real or illusory, there is always a pair of friends and enemies who hate each other but appreciate each other, and this kind of friendship that defies common sense but is real, this kind of rivalry between friends and enemies, love and hate, to be honest, also makes both sides have a feeling of unstoppability.
And if it weren't for such a strong opponent who was eyeing him all the time, the strength of LPL and LCK would not be so much higher than that of other divisions, so that the dominance of the game of League of Legends has been pinched by China and South Korea and not letting go, and other divisions have not had any chance to get their hands on the championship trophy since S1 China and South Korea entered the game of League of Legends.
It is precisely because of the presence of such an enemy that can threaten them that the LPL and LCK teams have improved so quickly faster than other regions that have opened their servers significantly earlier than them, and directly single-handedly dominated the game of League of Legends, and it is still so today.
If one of the two sides of China and South Korea chooses to close, then the other side will definitely be very lonely, after all, the height is not cold, invincible may be very good, but if there is not even an opponent who can be called an enemy, it will be too lonely.
