Chapter 102 102(1/2)
Just a few days after the summer season, the S match was put on the agenda, and this year's offseason is particularly short.
Before the finalists began, the group A of gi was locked in as the death group.
The reason is that CQB, a strong Korean team that dominated the S game for three consecutive years, lost to CQW in the LK Finals and eventually became a member of the second seed pool in the world.
Originally, a CQB could have made gi drink a pot. To make matters worse, the newly released regulations this year are that teams in the same country cannot be in the same group, so they also lost the ls in the European division finals. Because of this regulations, they were automatically assigned to Group A during the draw.
The configuration of Group A is called the Death Group, and it can only be said to be well deserved.
When Xiaoban got the schedule, his hands were shaking and he muttered, "Why is our lottery luck so bad every time?"
Jiang Yuan still looked smiling and reached out to pat Xiaoban's head, "I have taught you all my life and still so weak? Look at me, sleeping, since I became a teacher, I have never seen her afraid of anyone."
"Brother Yuan," Xiaoban was in tears. "CQB is the team that won the three consecutive S championships. We lost to LS last year. What if we accidentally didn't even qualify for the group stage at home..."
Jiang Yuan looked at the little board with a look of comfort and couldn't help but laugh, "We want to win the world championship. Can you not be so unreliable?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Lingxing chuckled, "Wave also said your words last year."
"Well," Su Heng nodded and glanced at the two frozen figures, "and then we didn't even make the finals."
Wave just entered the live broadcast room and was about to start ranking when he heard the conversation between several people and for a second. Before the audience could react, he silently turned off the live broadcast.
Although there are new finalists this year, because the competition venue is set in China, Shen Jianian decided to go to Wuhan for preparations half a month in advance.
The day before leaving, Su Heng went home to pack his luggage and happened to meet Su Yuanjun who had just returned from another place.
Su Yuanjun was also a little surprised to see her, "I heard that the World Championship seems to be about to begin? Why do you still have time to run home at this time?"
"Zhou Lingxing asked me to come back to get some seasonal clothes. He said that the temperature difference in Wuhan was very large during this period." She kept moving, stuffing clothes into her bag neatly, and asked, "How do you know that the game is about to start?"
Su Yuanjun poured a cup of warm water and placed it on the table, and said slowly, "Oh, what zone told me, he seems to be quite familiar with e-sports. He mentioned you to me not long ago."
Thinking of the collision with that man when he lost the game last year, Su Heng paused for a second, and thought casually, "What did he say?"
"He said," Su Yuanjun's eyes grew deeper, "Your style of play is a little problem."
"What's the problem?" Su Heng stopped the movement in his hand, finally turned around and looked directly at Su Yuanjun with his eyes.
Su Yuanjun spread his hands, "How do I know? He also told me that if you see you, you want to contact him."
As he said that, he took out a stack of business cards from the inner bag of the suit, took out one accurately and handed it to Su Heng.
The smooth movements even made her feel that all this was planned.
After thinking about it, she still took over the business card.
Although there may not be a chance to contact him.
In mid-September, Gi and his group arrived in Wuhan, with SLZ and NB who were qualified for the finalists.
As soon as the plane was off, the three teams were successfully surrounded by enthusiastic fans.
The overwhelming light banners and deafening screams made the contestants stunned.
Which of these three teams has not experienced strong storms, but was shocked by the amazing number of fans in front of you.
The arrival of a large number of fans made the airport hall particularly crowded, and it even blocked the normal passage of other passengers.
Finally, with the help of the security guard, several teams barely escaped.
After getting on the bus sent by the organizer, Lao Yu patted his chest and said to Wave beside him, "It turns out that this is the feeling of playing in China. The fans in Wuhan are too enthusiastic, and we feel like we have become heroes hahaha."
"Compared with European and American countries, Asian countries have much higher enthusiasm for the e-sports industry." Wave nodded with a smile on his face, "But it's just the beginning, and there may be more fans in Guangzhou and Shanghai. Only when we win the championship will we really become heroes."
The small board in the back row listened to the conversation between the two and couldn't help but come forward, "When we played in the United States last year, didn't there be Chinese fans coming to gank? I thought it was strange at that time. Today, I saw this scene and felt that S7 seemed to be really about to start."
Sun He glanced at the chattering board, and the boy's full of longing also infected him.
Unlike the past period when the e-sports industry was coldly accepted, this is the best time for them.
Their careers are generally low. How lucky they can become the best in this industry and represent their own country in the hottest era of e-sports.
Thinking of this, Sun He couldn't help but show his right hand.
I just hope that this time, his broken hands can finally touch the trophy that symbolizes the highest honor.
It can also make him clear but obsessed with it, and leave the stage where he put his efforts into the first half of his life without regrets.
The newly added finalists allowed a large number of outstanding teams at home and abroad to gather in Wuhan, and invitations to invite gi to practice competitions came one after another.
Among them, the only one who cares about the most is the only cqb that has not sent an invitation or accepted it.
Although they had two practice games with CQB last year, they obviously had one move, and the whole gentle offensive was completely different from the sharpness that followed.
But in the final, the cooperation shown by cqb and jungler Zac were clearly visible.
This year, gi and cqb will meet in the group stage, and cqb has such a fascinating attitude, it is hard to believe that they are not doing it intentionally.
Su Heng has a good mentality. He comes to the general and block the water. After all, the group stage is based on points to advance.
On the last day of the finalists, the Vietnamese brothers team, who had just won the last place in S7 from the suffocating European and American teams, hugged them together on the stage. This is also the only team in their country to be shortlisted for the World Championship.
Half an hour later, former professional player Zone was invited to draw lots.
When the zone opens the ball signing that represents the last team assigned to Group A, the Vietnamese brothers teams in the audience froze together.
The gloom on his face was very contrasted with the joy after confirming his promotion. The zone in front of the lottery pool couldn't help but tremble.
Is the air conditioner temperature of the venue too low? Why do you suddenly feel a little cold?
NB, who also broke through the siege in the finals, was assigned to Group D, a group with neither South Korean nor Chinese.
When they left, NB and his group also looked at the Vietnamese brothers with sympathy.
By being assigned to Group A, you can basically be sure to stop in the group stage, which is the default fact that almost all teams have.
Although such a result is that some companies are happy and some are sad, it doesn’t matter how they are grouped for teams whose final goal is the champion.
On October 5, the drums of the first group match started, with gi vs. cqb.
For domestic audiences, this is equivalent to an advance preview of the finals.
Because the group stage is bo1, Shen Jianian sent Su Heng and Sun He to the battlefield in order to ensure safety.
The audience was full, and the luxurious lineup of the commentator's seat also shows the high expectations of the domestic organizers for this S7.
Daimao: [A highly anticipated game, against last year's S6 champion cqb, kt, how do you view this game?]
kt: [It is undeniable that CQB's performance in the S match last year was still very impressive, especially the new player Zac they introduced. Even in China, he has quite a lot of fans.]
As he said that, KT also consciously looked at the light sign with the name of Zac flashing under the stands.
The ban&pick links on both sides went very quickly. Although the two sides had never met in the official competition, they could get some information from the video materials.
cqb first chose Olaf, Mantis, Cindera, Virus and Fanma;
Gi chose Kenan, Bowl, Kassadin, Policewoman and Lulu.
Two minutes into the game, Su Heng noticed that Wave controlled the line of troops closer to his own defense tower. After getting the red buff, he swayed directly to the triangular grass on the bottom lane of CQB to ambush.
This decision made Daimao feel a little scared. [Sleeping is only two levels, isn't it a little anxious?]
But kt said, [The wave line is controlled too well, it is really unreasonable to not do anything about this position.]
While talking, Su Heng began to move!
When Lao Yu saw that the wine barrel had already walked out of the grass, he did not hesitate to put his weak mother, who was closest to him.
cqb and the two retreated immediately, but unexpectedly met love at the corner.
On the screen, the wine barrel ran straight towards Fanzima, but was also weakened by him when he was about to approach.
Su Heng's face was calm, and she turned to Fan Zi's mother with weakness.
Gao Gao raised Kalma who intended to save her life!
Lulu and the policewoman who followed forward only received two flat acupunctures, and successfully cut off one blood and got the head by wave.
For gi, this is the dream start.
Daemao stroking her palm, [Sleeping a gank at level 2! So spiritual!!]
kt laughed, brother, that's not what you said just now.
Although Adc in the bottom lane has gained the initial advantage, Zhou Lingxing in the middle lane was suppressed by Syndra in the tower because he chose the melee hero.
Zac saw the opportunity when Zhou Lingxing returned to the city and was unattended in the middle road and directly chose to invade f6.
He made a lot of calculations, but forgot to calculate Su Heng's control of the overall situation, especially for positions without vision, which are particularly obvious from her perspective.
Guessing that Zac would do something in the middle, Su Heng immediately rushed to F6 after finishing brushing the stone man, and happened to see the mantis stealing the wild.
Zac didn't hesitate. After seeing the wine barrel, he stole two little monsters and went straight through the wall to retreat to the main line of the middle road.
Although he didn't know that now he was a corpse in Su Heng's eyes. She curled her lips and saw the TP effect on the middle lane's soldier-
【ling teleported directly at this location!!】kt screamed.
As soon as Kasardin landed, he directly hit the mantis' face with a set of skills. The wine barrel that was chasing him closely behind him flashed and took off his head.
Even Sun He, who had been pulling against the opposite side on the road, couldn't help but tickled, "This person is a little greedy. When he sees you, he dares to grab two young people before running."
A minute later, Zac showed gi's people a wave of what is true greed.
