Chapter 136

Rest for three days, the war of the finals reignites!

During these three days, the teams had no leisure and were all training hard.

The first round of the group stage is like the "pre-season" of the world tournament, allowing all teams to formally collide with strong enemies, interpret the version, and then improve.

This is also the biggest difference between the S-tournament and other international events.

The tighter the schedule, the smaller the room for the coaching staff to play.

Because even if a lot of information can be discovered on the spot, most players don't have time to adapt and practice!

MSI belongs to this kind of event, playing a very mature version, just looking at who is stronger in one game.

But like the S-tournament, which lasts for more than a month, and is also a brand new version.

It can be called a "long-line war"!

Any breakthrough in version understanding may determine the outcome of a BO5, thereby allowing the team to take a step forward, and then take a step forward!

And unlike the first round of the group stage——————in the second round of the group stage, all confrontations within a group will be carried out every day, directly giving the qualification results of the group.

That is to say, every team has to play three games a day at least!

Compared to the first round, it is a completely different competitive space.

Energy is secondary.

The main thing is the problem of on-the-spot adjustment.

If you lose the game in the first game and expose your flaws to the opponent, the other enemies in the group are likely to learn on the spot and kick the good leg of the lame person!

Team morale may also collapse in the consecutive defeats!

Even if "infighting" doesn't happen, turning into Silent Hill in the voice chat is also a common thing!

FPX in Iceland last year was sent away like this.

And it is worth mentioning that EDG's Group A was arranged by the official to the last day——————perhaps the official also found that the game with the highest popularity in the group stage was the game between EDG and T1, and made a special arrangement.

On the first day, the first to be carried out was the Group C game where TES is located.

The first game, Rogue, defeated GAM without pressure.

The second game, TES continued to rotate against GAM, almost without pressure.

"Come on, Brother Top! Fight without regrets!"

"Shouldn't they win easily in this first game? This draw is quite good, play a Vietnamese team first to warm up!"

"I saw JackeyLove's interview saying: 'Next, they will not lose a game until they qualify!'"

"Hmm? Karsa seemed to have heard someone say this last year..."

The EDG group gathered to watch the battle of the second round of both sides.

During these three days of the rest period, Ye Bo mainly did the work of a coach.

However, Ye Bo, who was immersed in researching BP and versions, felt a bit strange when the BP of this game started.

"Their BP seems a bit casual..."

"How to say, Master Ye?" Barrier asked curiously.

Ye Bo opened his small notebook: "Look, GAM's jungler Levi is a well-known wild-core jungler, he has been playing Lee Sin and Graves the whole group stage... but TES, in the red side where the ban slots are already tight, actually went to ban his Sejuani!"

Verified by the group stage, Sejuani is still a strong version, this is correct.

Although the stability and upper limit are not as good as Maokai, the opening means and body are stronger than Maokai, and other teams will indeed disable it.

But if you understand the characteristics of the opponent's jungler, you know that the opponent definitely can't take the initiative to select it, and it is simply wasting ban slots.

"Master Ye, you actually studied the Vietnamese team!?"

Listening to Ye Bo's endless narration, Flandre looked surprised.

Everyone was also a bit surprised, and curiously leaned their heads to look at Ye Bo's notebook full of handwriting.

The Vietnamese team is 0-3 in the first round, and has clearly become the experience baby of Group C.

Not to mention other groups, it is estimated that even the other three teams in Group C may not necessarily study it seriously!

"World tournament opponents must be studied, after all, there is still a possibility of qualifying."

"And it's not just TES, GAM's bans are also a bit strange, they actually ban Caitlyn, and also Rookie's Azir..."

When Ye Bo said this, he suddenly realized more clearly the difference between these wildcard teams and Korean teams.

It's not just the operational level.

If TES's ban slots can be said to be their "underestimation" of the opponent in tactics.

Then GAM definitely has no reason to underestimate TES.

Then the only possibility for such BP————can only be that the opponent's {pre-war information} and {BP research} level is really too low!

T1 touched the BP problems existing in LPL teams on the first day of the group stage, just "gambled and lost" on EDG, the only one that didn't self-ban Caitlyn, but successfully analyzed the fact that the other three LPL teams couldn't pick Caitlyn.

But GAM, after finishing the first round of the group stage, and then experiencing a three-day rest period.

Actually still didn't discover this point!

Not to mention that in the two games TES lost in the first round, Rookie happened to pick Azir, and the winning rate was 0%, so they went to ban it, which is not as good as banning Sylas.

"GAM should grab Sett first... then TES picks Lucian-Nami or Draven..."

Ye Bo in front of the screen is like a cyber point-and-click general.

He says one, and the live broadcast screen on the field picks one!

"And I remember, GAM's jungler seems to have a specialty that hasn't been taken out yet... oh, it's really here, Karthus."

The EDG group was just surprised before.

Until the Vietnamese team's second floor selected the extremely cold Karthus jungler, and it still hit all the BP.

Everyone turned their heads together as if they had seen a ghost.

"Damn, all hit!?" Master Ye, you are a god!"

"Time traveler, right! I caught you!"

"Not a time traveler, it can only be that you have watched the replay, too accurate!"

Ye Bo listened to the teammates' surprise and smiled and replied: "What, it's just that the BP of these two teams is really easy to guess, GAM's Sett can swing mid-top-support, which is also their specialty, as long as you simply analyze the team, it's not hard to guess..."

He really didn't reincarnate.

Of course, don't look at Ye Bo's light description.

Except because the BP of these two teams is indeed a bit formulaic.

Being able to guess so accurately is clearly because he has put in a lot of "hard work."

During these three days of the rest period, Ye Bo truly reviewed and watched all 24 games of the first round alone!

Not the kind of 2x speed skipping.

It is truly watching every minute in detail, and many places even slow down and replay several times to guess and understand the intentions of the opponent's players...

This is a project that is not small, and Ye Bo also used the time flow of the {Trial Ground}, but the process was still very boring.

Fortunately, Ye Bo indeed benefited a lot!

Even some games of weak teams that seem unimportant can bring him not small gains and inspiration.

However, Ye Bo guessed the BP behind wrong.

"TES should pick Lee Sin or Hecarim for the jungler, if it really doesn't work, Wukong and Vi should also be able to... what kind of ghost is Graves."

"Hmm? This is picking Ahri for Rookie instead of Sylas? Picking Sylas in the fifth floor, the opponent's ultimate is very cool!"

Ye Bo didn't understand TES's BP.

In his information collection, Karsa's Graves basically never won.

However, he could roughly guess the idea of the opponent's coach White Moon————perhaps he wanted to let the two teams behind "think" they would play Graves, this version's strong hero, and occupy the ban slots.

EDG picking Caitlyn in the first round was actually for this purpose.

But in the end, with Ornn, Karthus, and Renata, who all have very good ultimates, on the opposite side.

TES swayed left and right in the fifth floor, and finally actually chose the former between Ahri and Sylas!

Could it be because... Rookie is worried that Sylas can't beat Sett in the mid lane?

Can't be...

And soon, the result of Ye Bo's judgment on BP appeared.

Karsa is indeed not suitable for playing this kind of big wild-core.

Because Karsa's style is to like to stop farming a camp suddenly when farming well, and perform variable-speed ganks at times that shouldn't be————but this is completely contrary to the wild-core style.

Of course, the main thing is that all TES members were a bit sick in this game, picking a big early-game lineup but sending it randomly in the early stage, and even once it was a disadvantage!

Levi's specialty Karthus fully played out the performance as a "specialty."

Both map control and farming were taken into account, helping the team get the Earth Dragon Soul at 30 minutes, and the farming was also quite explosive!

"The lineup of double tanks mid-top, this Earth Dragon Soul seems hard to fight..."

"Damn, Brother Top!"

TES still has strength.

The originally situation was gradually moving towards collapse, and the desperate situation where the opponent's late-game lineup was about to take over the game.

The 40-minute Elder Dragon fight suddenly played a counter-turn with the explosive operation of all members!

"Beautiful! This can also be turned over!!!"

"TES got the key Elder Dragon! Can they push in one wave! Seems like they can push in one wave!"

"Turned over! Going to win!"

The LPL commentary booth has started cosplaying AC Milan, opening champagne in advance.

The super long resurrection time of forty minutes of the game, all TES members with Elder Dragon blood, directly brought the minion wave from the mid lane, and all five people rushed to the high ground!

No matter who looks at it, this game is over.

"Only one survived! Only one Sett survived! Useless!"

"Wait a minute, Karthus also revived... ah! JackeyLove was killed!"

"The base is still a little bit! Still a little bit!"

The extremely explosive Karthus, revived with a Requiem, howling away the souls of the three TES members!

Only the remaining support Nami, helplessly waving the water magic wand in her hand.

Unfortunately, this is just a support.

A splash of water floated out, the exposed base still had health, and the next moment it was killed by the GAM group rushing from the fountain.

53 seconds of resurrection time.

Desperate 53 seconds.

GAM directly pushed back in one fell swoop, forcing the mid lane high ground that had already been pushed, and rushed to the crystal.

"Can they stop them!!"

"Wow, congratulations to GAM, they got their first victory in this world tournament, and it was the LPL's second seed, TES."

"Have to say, this is the charm of specialty."

"This lineup of GAM is really their own specialty, they played a desperate performance worthy of our praise..."

The three people on the commentary booth were clearly a bit stunned, but still tried their best to help cover up a few sentences.

But the live stream room had already exploded instantly.

{I really vomited! I stayed up until three in the morning to watch the game! You lost to Vietnam!? }

{TES! You are sorry for us! RNM! Refund! }

{This team is really disgusting, never have any hope for them! Never, remember I said never!!! }

{Vietnamese captives! Out!!! Column!!! }

{Why are you all spraying the Urine Emperor? It's really the eternal firepower attractor, right? How ÷ is Taishou in this game, didn't you see? 2-0 start Ahri has no use at all, if you pick a Sylas in the last pick, can this game not win! That Karthus can farm so happily!? }

{Only one hit away, why didn't Lucian pick up the Mingdao Siji! Brother is fully responsible! }

Rookie and Karsa in the live stream screen had no spirit in their eyes, JackeyLove was holding the keyboard and carrying his big head and retreated quickly, leaving only a lonely and desolate red-haired figure for the camera.

No one knows what they will say when they return to the backstage.

And the online public opinion goes without saying.

Just at the moment of ending, like a volcanic eruption, new posts couldn't be brushed over!

{This is our TES's ultimate all-Chinese team! Do you have such an all-Chinese team? I ask}

{If this continues, we will lose to Vietnam... I'm kidding, brother! Why do you take it seriously! }

{This B team is really disgusting, never have any hope for them! Never, remember I said never!!! }

{TES team introduction: Although it is the peak ninth place, its strength is not inferior to the supreme eighth place, exploding seeds can rival the peak fourth place, if you use ancient secret methods, even if you face the champion, you have the strength to fight! }

{BP name-to-face, top lane Aatrox can't, mid lane Azir has a strange taste, bot lane eats Q and pretends to be a cup, wild-core is very embarrassed————Horizontal batch: Arrogance is the original sin! }

{Key last game Rogue played GAM and banned Karthus, why didn't you TES ban? Just look down on people's specialty! }

{Our TES, top lane strong, jungler strong, mid laner strong, AD strong, support strong, coach strong, tactics strong, decision-making strong, operation strong, consciousness strong, laning strong, team fight strong, split-push strong, support strong, snowball strong, seize opportunity strong————summarized as 16th place! }

{No way, although JackeyLove dyed his hair red, he forgot, red hair doesn't have Rookie! }

{Case solved, it's actually Graves' problem, the first wildcard captive jungler in history also used Graves to lose! }

Ye Bo looked at the grand occasion of major forums at home and abroad, which was even more exaggerated than the situation when they won T1 that day.

The influence is quite not small.

It's not just Tieba, Hupu, forums, almost every corner of the Internet is discussing and crusading.

It is estimated that it can be on domestic newspapers, and some friends in prison can know it!

The reason why the influence is so great is because in the case of Rogue defeating GAM in the first game and the points have reached 4-1.

This failure of TES has confirmed: 16th place eliminated!

LPL is not the first time to lose to a wildcard, nor is it the first time to be 16th place.

But the 16th place teams in previous years were at least real masters in the group, even if they were not SKT, they were all kinds of championship favorites in the group of death.

What kind of group is this TES?

European Rogue, Vietnam, and a fourth seed of a Korean team!

This is definitely the first time in history that an LPL team has been eliminated in the 16th place because of losing to a wildcard.

Tieba top, there is even Ye Bo's business!

That was an old post dug up with a Luoyang shovel, and the posting time was the last game of the summer finals.

Ye Bo's Galio vs Rookie's Ahri, the last wave that ended.

Galio's decisive Flash opened the group, Ahri's {Stopwatch} component, which was questioned, was not used, and was opened by Galio in the crowd, directly killed and ended the game.

At that time, someone posted this scene to Tieba to mock.

{Laugh to death, is Taishou's watch left for S12? Then TES is invincible, the mid laner has one more protection measure than others, directly pre-ordering the S championship! }

{Returning from S12, Rookie is washed white! It's really not his problem, the protection measure is really not working! }

{Can only say Taishou left it wrong, why leave a watch? Leave a swimming cap and swimming goggles! This is really useful! }

{The upper limit of our TES team, it is said that there is one, but no one has ever seen it}

{Master Ye is fully responsible, it's all his fault for picking a Galio in this game, only solo killed Rookie once, didn't scare him directly to the point of not daring to pick Ahri! Foreshadowing! }

{Indeed fully responsible! Scared Brother to the point of not daring to pick Dezi, owed a championship! }

TES backstage is terribly quiet.

Already confirmed to be eliminated, but there are still two games to play, this is clearly the most torturous thing.

And Karsa is covering his face with a nose and tears.

"I really want to hear you speak, why does no one speak in the game..."

"Compared to last year, there is no contradiction that cannot be solved in our team this year!"

As a team that has never had a command, and even once let the ADC be the command brother.

Once the game is at a disadvantage, it is easy for the whole team to mute or even disappear.

This was a small problem in the league, and it was also ignored by them.

But once they came to a place with greater pressure, everyone didn't speak, playing the game into a passerby game, and the result would naturally be devastating.

And TES's remaining two games.

It can be said that the influence of "pressure" and "mentality" on the tournament is fully displayed.

It is just such a performance that just lost to a wildcard team in an ugly posture.

Actually, in the last two games of the world tournament, they successively avenged and defeated Rogue and DRX!

This may be because they have confirmed to be eliminated, anyway, the result cannot be changed, so they let go of their hands and feet to fight, which had a better effect————of course, it may also be that the opponent started to "hide things."

DRX clearly played relatively normally in this game, without exposing more new things.

Finally, DRX qualified first in the group, and Rogue qualified second in the group.

All games of the day ended.

The other four members of EDG returned to training, only Ye Bo was reviewing alone.

Clearlove originally wanted to be his assistant, but was asked to leave by Ye Bo with an excuse.

Clearlove's eyes were a bit aggrieved, thinking he was "disliked"...

Mainly because of the touch of losing to a wildcard today... he also did it!

The most sassy thing is that in that game, Clearlove also chose Graves!

Of course, Ye Bo was just to enter the trial ground, quickly analyze, and then seize the time to share insights with his teammates.

The group stage is one day after another, although EDG was arranged to the end, there are games of groups every day.

Their time is also very tight.

After analyzing the six games in two hours in reality, Ye Bo called everyone back again.

"Brothers, let me talk about the latest BP situation..."

Just like this.

After the group stage ends every day, Ye Bo will immediately share his latest insights with his teammates.

And the next day, Group B where JDG is located.

Almost the group with the least suspense.

JDG's style seems to be completely restrained by GEN. G.

Samsung's strong point is the personal strength of the mid laner Chovy and the bot laner Ruler, but JDG's weak point is the personal strength of the mid laner Yagao and the bot laner Hope!

Yagao is okay, the laning can still be stable, but it is completely impossible to limit Chovy's farming, and the result in the data is the gap in the position.

The bot lane is more miserable, basically the performance of being beaten through the lane, a completely real bot lane gap!

The top laner 369 also couldn't break through the opposite side.

JDG coach Homme was a bit tearful in the backstage, just feeling a sense of powerlessness that a clever woman can't cook without rice.

He felt that if the bot lane was swapped, they would definitely have the strength to fight!

Fortunately, JDG still steadily won the remaining two games and successfully qualified second in the group to enter the quarter-finals.

As for Group D where RNG is located, it is the group with the most intense battle.

Although DK's house leaked and it rained, after Canyon was infected, they quickly infected the whole team, and only Nuguri, who was infected in the playoffs, escaped.

Four people played with high fever.

As a result, they actually defeated RNG in one game!

Can only say, the strength of the original Damwon top-mid-jungle is still not to be underestimated.

It's just that the debuff of the four people being infected is still too heavy, and the operation in the middle and late stages is clearly a bit dizzy, and finally lost to RNG in the tie-breaker, qualifying second in the group.

Up to now, the quarter-final seats have been divided into six seats.

The progress of the S12 group stage has passed 3/4, approaching the end.

Only the most concerned Group A is left!

The night before the game.

Domestic LOL forums were surging.

{LPL third seed < LCK first seed, LPL fourth seed > LCK third seed————this feels like it's done! True·Strict hierarchy! }

{What's done? Forgot our second seed? }

{Not very familiar with the people in the sea, just wait for our first seed to eat the opponent's second seed! It's horse racing! }

{To be honest, JDG's Caitlyn won't be used, the laning ability is spicy chicken, RNG is just bullying four patients to barely tie-breaker first, why does LPL feel a bit leaky everywhere this year... }

{Actually a bit looking forward to EDG losing, so that the second seed qualification has a chance to draw Deft in the quarter-finals, even the trash talk I helped him think of————}

{It really is, DRX is estimated to have no chance unless they draw the quarter-finals, the life is really good, can be in a group with TES, picking up a first seed! }

{I don't understand, why can you open champagne like this? EDG vs T1, now obviously the advantage is with me! }

The eighth day of the group stage.

Three o'clock in the morning domestic time.

All EDG members set off for Madison Square Garden Theater, preparing to draw a perfect end to their group stage!
