The audience and fans were very concerned about this issue, and the scene immediately became quiet.
Yuan Shen replied: "Of course, if there is a chance, he will meet with everyone, you can rest assured about this."
Hearing this, the audience was anxious.
"Hey! That's not right. No one said they wanted to meet King Ning. We want to meet you!"
"No! No! You must have made a mistake!"
"God Yuan, we want God Yuan!"
"It's over. He misunderstood us."
Yuan Shen actually said this on purpose, and Luo Xin also saw it, so she chose not to expose it.
"That's all for today's interview. Thank you once again to Yuan Shen for accepting our interview. I wish IG a better performance in the knockout stage."
After the interview, Yuan Shen chose to return to the lounge.
In the lounge, everyone packed up and prepared to leave.
Fu Manduo came up and consoled him:
"Master Yuan, thank you for your hard work. Pack up and get ready to go."
"Thanks to everyone for their hard work. We performed very well in the group stage. I hope to keep up the good work!"
The IG team left the competition venue together, went back to have a meal, and then reviewed the game.
After today's game, the next stage will be a change of venue.
But there is no rush now, let’s wait until the other teams finish the fight.
The next day, the group stage of Group B began.
Because Group B has Dragon Ball, most people regard Dragon Ball as the strongest team, so Group B has received a lot of attention.
The IG members gathered together to watch the game.
Fu Manduo greeted: "It's mainly about looking at their BP and whether we can learn something from their BP."
Compared to the individual strength of the players, BP is something that can be changed immediately. Of course, it requires the support of the hero pool, and IG has no problem in this regard.
However, after the game started, the IG players found something wrong.
Longzhu even uses heroes like Nasus to play in competitions.
The BP is so chaotic, and the kills are random, there is no pressure at all.
Rookie commented: "I think the other teams in their group are too bad. I can't see the true strength of Longzhu at all."
Baolan muttered, "Now we can be sure that Longzhu is definitely not a weakling, but very powerful, but how powerful, I don't know."
Ning Wang had an expression of admiration on his face: "Longzhu is really powerful. This game is like playing against a robot. The opponent has no power to fight back at all."
Theshy commented: "I don't think Nasus is a good top lane hero, it's just that the opponent's strength is not good enough, so he can develop easily."
In the end, Longzhu ended the group stage with six consecutive wins, exactly the same as IG.
Yuan Shen took a look at the rhythm in the anti-stress bar:
#Oh my god, Longzhu is probably the team with the strongest suppression power I have ever seen.
#Scared! Who can beat him? He is so invincible.
#龙珠 gave me the illusion that these professional players on the opposite side seemed to be more than just that.
#Me too, I think they are delicious. Everything is relative.
Now Dragon Ball has been praised to the sky, and the only thing left is to give them an award.
At this time, Fu Manduo suddenly said: "It's very strange, RNG has not asked us to play a training match. They will go up to play tomorrow, but EDG has been looking for us to play a training match."
Baolan muttered, "Is it because RNG had an easy time in their group? After they beat SSG, other teams didn't seem to pose much of a threat to them."
Fu Manduo nodded: "That's true. RNG is indeed going smoothly now, which is a good thing for our region."
The next day, the Group C competition began.
Because of RNG and SSG, there is a lot of attention.
SSG's attention was originally average, far behind SKT and Longzhu.
But because Yuan Shen expressed his optimism about SSG, the entire network is now paying attention to SSG's performance.
Of course, this kind of attention has two purposes. One is to see what the strength of SSG is and why it can be recognized by Yuan Shen.
The other is to see Yuan Shen make a fool of himself. Now netizens have linked SSG and Yuan Shen together. Basically, SSG's performance can determine Yuan Shen's reputation.
Even though it felt outrageous, it happened.
In the afternoon, everyone at IG gathered together again to watch the game.
The first game is between RNG and G2.
Rookie muttered, "I feel like with RNG's strength, they should be able to handle it easily."
Baolan agreed: "I think so too. This G2 has a big problem."
Smlz muttered: "I don't know about the mid, top and jungle, but G2's bottom lane is really not that good."
However, what everyone didn't expect was that RNG actually lost to G2!
Although it has little impact on RNG's advancement as they have only lost one game so far, it is indeed quite surprising.
Smlz muttered: "If RNG loses to G2, maybe RNG will also lose to SSG, which will be troublesome."
Rookie analyzed: "It is indeed possible. SSG is definitely stronger than G2."
The game continued, and soon it was the turn of RNG and SSG.
This game is crucial as it will determine who will be the first in the group.
In this game, RNG suppressed SSG throughout the whole game and made SSG run away in panic!
This is no longer just an ordinary beating, it is complete torture and humiliation!
Seeing this, Baolan commented: "If that's the case, then why do I feel that SSG is a little worse than G2? At least G2 can beat RNG, SSG has no chance at all."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Yuan Shen. After all, Yuan Shen had said before that SSG was stronger than Longzhu and SKT.
Yuan Shen was quite calm at this time, as if these things were within his expectations.
At the same time, more people questioned Yuan Shen online:
#I think no one still thinks SSG is stronger than Longzhu and SKT.
#To be honest, considering SSG's strength, they were able to advance only because they encountered two rookies.
#If they were in Group A, I doubt they would qualify.
#Was Yuan Shen's previous correct rating a deliberate smokescreen?
#SSG made it to the top 16 last year, can they turn the tables this year?
On the last day of the group stage, Group D begins.
The IG members gathered together again to watch the game.
There is actually nothing to watch in Group D, but the important thing is the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals after the competition!
This is crucial.
In the group, EDG took first place with a record of 5-1, losing only one game to TSM.
The most outrageous thing is that TSM's record is 1-5, which means that they only won one game, which was against EDG.
Fortunately, EDG finally ranked first in the group, so no one blamed them for this situation. Some people even said that this is the spirit of e-sports. Let TSM win a game so that TSM will feel better.
After the Group D matches were over, the overall qualifying situation was determined.
First is Group A:
IG is first in the group and SKT is second.
Group B:
LZ is first in the group and FNC is second in the group.
Group C:
RNG is first in the group and SSG is second in the group.
Group D:
EDG is first in the group and MSF is second.
After the group stage, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals began immediately.
Everyone on IG became serious.
Fu Manduo greeted, "The drawing ceremony is very important, let's take a look at it together, even though we can't change anything."
King Ning joked: "We can make a wish and pray, just in case it works."
Everyone laughed, as this sounded like something King Ning would say.
Soon, the guests who drew the lots appeared.
The host began to introduce the rules.
The rule is also quite simple. Just like before, the first place in the group can only meet the second place in the group.
At the same time, the first and second teams in the same group avoided each other.
After the rules were introduced, the guests came on stage to draw lots. There were two lotteries, each with four balls.
The number one drawer contains the first four groups.
The second place in the group is in the second drawer.
The guest first draws a lottery ticket from the number one lottery machine and spreads it out in front of the camera.
"Dragon Ball!" the host shouted.
"Wow!" Prince Ning shouted.
Then, the guest drew the second ball and spread it out.
"EDG!"
The guests continued to draw.
"IG!"
Finally, there is RNG.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
This only confirms the order of the first place in the four groups, the second round is the focus!
The guests continued to draw lots and everyone held their breath. Every draw was important at this stage.
"SKT!"
SKT was picked out!
This means that Longzhu will face SKT in the quarterfinals!
Everyone in IG was very happy to see this result.
Baolan said: "I think LCK fans are going to be sad. One of their No. 1 and No. 2 seeds must go in the quarterfinals, and it will be a civil war."
Rookie agreed: "It's very uncomfortable to wear down a strong team in a civil war."
Yuan Shen said: "I feel it's okay. SKT was double-killed by us in the group stage, which actually proved something. They are not very good in this version."
The drawing of lots continued, and the guest drew the second lot and spread it out.
"SSG!"
This means that EDG and SSG will meet in the quarterfinals.
Ning Wang commented: "I feel this is good news for EDG. If they meet SSG, they should have a chance."
Rookie nodded: "I feel like there's a chance. I hope we can win."
The guests continued to draw lots, the third one!
This one will decide who will play against IG, and everyone in IG is nervous.
However, between FNC and MSF, the choice can't be too bad, right?
"MSF!"
When they saw the MSF team logo, everyone on IG became excited.
Baolan cheered, "Nice! You actually assigned us a rookie, isn't this just a random fight?"
Smlz was very happy: "This is a good draw, this person is our lucky star."
Fu Manduo also thinks so: "MSF is indeed the least bad choice for us."
Yuan Shen looked at King Ning and said, "King Ning, if that's the case, it's okay for you to play in the quarterfinals?"
Prince Ning patted his chest and assured: "Leave it to me, no problem."
Yuan Shen replied: "Then I'll leave it to you. I've already told you in advance that you shouldn't underestimate MSF. This team is quite capable. Don't let me come to the rescue later. You have to perform well."
Ning Wang smiled and said: "When the time comes, I will let them know what it means to be the No. 1 seed in LPL! Brutal!"
Seeing Ning Wang like this, Baolan complained: "Can you be a little more ambitious? Just because you see the opponent is a rookie, you start pretending?"
Prince Ning retorted: "Princess Lan, this has nothing to do with you, why are you so annoying?"
The final match is between RNG and FNC.
Fu Manduo was quite satisfied: "RNG has good hope, they are playing against FNC."
"If this is the case, we in LPL have a chance to have three teams in the top four and send one to the finals."
Ning Wang responded: "The final will definitely be a match between Dragon Ball and there is no need to watch it."
Yuan Shen reminded: "You should take a look at the semi-finals. If Longzhu beats SKT and we beat MSF, it means we are playing against Longzhu. If Longzhu wants to enter the finals, they have to beat us first."
Prince Ning was stunned: "Is that so? Then... they are lucky."
Baolan muttered, "I thought you were going to say we couldn't beat Longzhu, it seems you have an idea as well."
The quarter-final grouping is shown below:
LZ vs. SKT.
IG vs. MSF.
EDG vs. SSG.
RNG vs. FNC.
After the result came out, Yuan Shen went to the Anti-Pressure Bar first to check out the situation.
#Oh my god, it's a pity that Longzhu and SKT met so soon.
#Originally, both Longzhu and SKT had the strength to enter the finals, but this draw ruined LCK.
#What bullshit are you talking about? Have you asked IG?
#I want to see, SSG is hyped so much, can they beat EDG.
After the results of the quarterfinals are announced, all that remains is training.
Targeted training, there is a big difference between the knockout stage and the group stage, and one of the most important differences is targeting.
The group stage mainly depends on the strength of each team and their ability to understand the version.
When it comes to the knockout stage, we need to study and target our opponents.
However, MSF was unable to put too much pressure on IG, so IG's attention was focused on other teams.
After today's time for rest.
The quarterfinals have begun!
First up is the first quarterfinal matchup, Longzhu vs. SKT.
The night before the game, the news that the two teams were about to face off became a hot topic.
The whole Internet is discussing this matter.
The most mentioned thing is that LPL got a big bargain.
Originally, both SKT and Longzhu were the favorites to win the championship and could have caused a lot of trouble for LPL. Now, the trouble has collapsed internally and ended itself.
Of course, these are the opinions of fans and viewers, and do not represent Yuan Shen’s opinions.
On the afternoon of the game, everyone in IG gathered together to watch the game.
Fu Manduo said: "The winner among them will be our opponent, we need to take it seriously."
Everyone on IG is indeed very serious now, staring at the screen waiting for the game to start.
Players from both teams came on stage and began to be introduced. From the data of the Longzhu players, it can be seen that their strength is indeed very strong. In the group stage, all kinds of data crushed other teams.
Rookie commented: "I feel like their numbers are due to playing against weak teams on the same team, otherwise they wouldn't be so outrageous."
The players came on stage, accepted the cheers from the audience, and then took their seats. The BP for the first game began.
Longzhu still has their very aggressive style, while SKT is relatively conservative, but it is also an aggressive style, especially in this version.
Entering the game screen, the laning phase is very important. Both sides have too many heroes in the early stage. The pros and cons of the laning phase can determine many things.
In the middle lane, Faker and BDD played like crazy, it was very intense, but to no avail.
In the top lane, Khan suppressed the opponent crazily and killed Huni alone to clear the level alone.
Rookie analyzed: "I suddenly feel that Longzhu seems to be very restrained against SKT. SKT is the kind of team that is good at operations but also likes to fight, while Longzhu is a very pure operations team."
"SKT encountered Longzhu. They wanted to touch it in the early stage, but then they were crushed. When they wanted to operate, they couldn't operate it anymore."
What surprised everyone in this game was that SKT's bottom lane, which was usually known for its stability, lost its stability and was crushed by Longzhu's bottom lane.
The first Dragon Ball victory! (End of this chapter)
