Chapter 176 The Qualifying Round Begins

After dinner, Bin returned to the dormitory and never put down his phone.

In his words, the social forums these days are really exciting.

Even after a few days, there are still several hot searches about Asian Games LOL.

Brother Bin couldn't stop laughing when he saw the various violent remarks on Hupu.

"Brother, they say Chovy is your son, who is always the best in big competitions, and Faker is your grandson, who you dare not even play against."

"What are you talking about? It doesn't make sense."

Xia Sen, who had just finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, interrupted sternly after hearing this: "This version is about the cooperation between the mid and jungle. How long have I cooperated with Xun? The opponent's mid and jungle obviously don't have enough coordination, so we..."

Bin waved his hand to interrupt. He didn't want to listen to this. Didn't he understand the version?

The mid-jungle version lasted throughout the entire summer season, and even the 13.19 version of the next World Championship did not make too many changes, except for lowering the price of tank equipment and making some minor changes to the heroes.

The problem is, now that they have won, why can't they show off their victory? What's more, it's just in private, so this is how they enjoy themselves.

"Go take a shower, brother Bin."

"Don't worry, just watch Hupu, Zhu Kai's public opinion is quite good."

Bin looked at the scores of the two games and felt that Zhu Kai was a little high. In the first game, everyone praised Zhu Kai for his bold idea of ​​choosing Zac and not banning Jacos.

The second time, Zhu Kai was praised to be even more amazing.

Nightmare Vigus’s mid-jungle invention is so cool!
It seems that there is really no problem with the designated coach for the Asian Games!
"Okay, I'll go to bed first."

There are less than ten days left until the World Championship, and the most important competition of the year is finally here.

He must spend more time polishing and sprinting.

First time entering the World Championship.

Although Xia Sen no longer lacks experience in major competitions, he still feels uneasy.

Recalling the scenes of holding the trophy this year, he truly felt that his life was worth it. For Xia Sen, grasping this feeling is the best way to realize his self-worth.

After pondering for a while, Xia Sen quickly emptied his mind and sank his consciousness into the simulated space.

Brother Bin next to him was still playing Hupu for fun.

At this time, everyone had already used their keen eyes to capture countless famous scenes from this BO3 final.

To sort out the war criminals, we actually have to start from Nakano.

But Kanavi has very good public opinion now, and its Hupu score is as high as 8.5.

In Chovy's first game with Tsar, he used Tristana, and he couldn't stop it or beat it. Every time he cut to the middle lane, he would push the line back. Once Tristana moved, Chovy would never move.

Not to mention the second game, Ahri was chosen to fight in the laning phase and provide support, but he didn't take any advantage.

Is this the top-paid mid laner in LCK?
Some people even translated the Korean website's comments about Chovy into Chinese and posted them here.

As expected, everyone was criticizing me for not being worthy of the money and being a complete loser in the competition.

However, on the Korean website, they still think that kanavi is the biggest culprit, as he disrupted the rhythm in the middle lane in both games.

They now want to know who is in charge of the mid-lane confrontation.

But there is no way, the losing party cannot release the voice.

Of course kanavi now knows that the Korean netizens hate him to the core, so after the game he didn't even go home, but went straight back to the JDG club.

Zhu Kai never read forums before, but his friends told him that he is now the top star on Hupu and all coaches have to follow his example.

So driven by curiosity, Zhu Kai clicked on this evil software.

Seeing netizens praising him so much, he felt embarrassed.

In fact, whether it is Zack or Nightmare Vigus, it is not his own credit, but they were discovered by everyone during daily training.

They even prepared a lot of weird stuff but didn't use it. Zhu Kai even thought that those things could be used in the world game. It's a pity that EDG didn't make it, but BLG had a chance.
This year it looks good.

Zhu Kai looked at the little face that turned red.

It’s done bro! Grand Slam!

His contract with EDG expires this year, so shouldn’t he get a maximum salary contract next year?
Sitting on his Masha, Zhu Kai laughed like a 200-pound fat man.

In the simulation space, Xia Sen practiced Tsar tirelessly.

After looking at the version, Xia Sen always felt that this hero would have a big stage in the World Championship.

The reason why it is called the mid-jungle version is that the mid-jungle needs to be a combination. Tsar does not have high requirements for the jungler, and he just needs to be a tool man with control.

Moreover, once this hero is selected, his ability to provide a backup in the late game is so strong that we can choose some heroes who can enhance the confrontation in the bottom lane.

The bottom lane has lane control, the jungler and support can also move more, so the mid lane will naturally be comfortable.

When I got up, the quilt on the bed next to me was neatly folded, and it was obvious that he had gotten up long ago.

I washed up, went downstairs, got the takeaway that I had ordered in advance, and walked into the training room. As expected, Xia Sen and Elk were the only ones there at this time.

It’s not that the others are lazy. They have already trained a lot compared to other players.

Besides, everyone has their own schedule. Although elk gets up early, he also leaves home early. Someone like Xia Sen who gets up early and leaves late is completely abnormal.

As for the players' training arrangements, the club only sets a minimum number of ranks per day and a rule that players cannot miss training games. How to arrange your time is naturally up to you.

"Would you like to eat the buns?"

"We've eaten."

“But you can try it.”

So, Xia Sen and Elk each picked up a big meat bun.

Bin's mouth twitched. Forget it, just consider it as losing weight.

Bin moved the chair between the two of them. Elk was playing Virus and Xia Sen was playing Tsar.

Your performance is very impressive. Why are you in such good shape this morning?

In the picture, the Tsar drifted in and pushed the double C to secure the victory.

"Is there any hero you don't know how to play?" Bin asked sourly.

He felt that Xia Sen was a little too omnipotent. In the past year, he had never seen him say no to any hero.

As a teammate, he is very familiar with Xia Sen.

Xia Sen's style is definitely that of a master, and he has an invincible temperament in any situation.

"In the mid-lane hero pool."

bin really wanted to hear him say yes.

"I don't know. I just practice whatever hero is available in the version. There shouldn't be anything I can't practice."

Bin was a little confused. Why did the soy milk that was originally added with sugar taste so bitter now?
Turtle, so confident.

This is not a simple sentence.

At least Bin admits that he can't do it, so he just needs to practice what he can get.

In the top lane, Bin has to have at least one hand at least of the heroes that he doesn’t dare to use in the professional arena. Hasn’t he practiced these?
How is that possible? This year, because of Xia Sen, he practiced more. However, these things seemed to be incompatible with him. No matter how he practiced, there was always something wrong.

"You're such a genius, but you've been so slow lately. As someone who has played in the World Championship, I know that the more serious the competition, the more you need to rest. You said you woke up around 11 and finished at 3am. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Bin expressed his concerns. In fact, he had such concerns a long time ago, but when he expressed them, it seemed as if he didn't work hard himself and didn't want others to work hard.

Now the relationship between them is pretty good, and they can say whatever they want.

Elk nodded silently. It was too much. Although the sleeping time sounded good, Elk knew that staying up late would lead to insomnia. It's not like you can fall asleep immediately after lying down in bed at 3 o'clock.

Xia Sen finished the last bite of the bun.

"But yeah, I'm used to it. I sleep well, you know that, brother Bin. I'm not stupid, why would I train myself to exhaustion?"

"It's just that the World Championship is coming up soon, and I want to practice more. I don't want to have any regrets this year."

"Brother Bin, you still have some regrets about that year."

It's not to help Bin, but Xia Sen was very emotional: "The number one seed seems to be cursed, and it seems that he can't get very good results every year."

"People outside say we are just one step away from the Grand Slam, but wasn't RNG in S8 also like that?"

"The higher you blow, the harder you'll fall."

It was very straightforward and honest. Bin's memories were immediately hooked back to S10.

The five of them were so high-spirited and they all felt that they were the right five people.

The third seed entered the World Championship, defeated JD.com in the quarterfinals, and defeated TES in the semifinals.

SN was so awesome at that time. The jungle emperor Sofm, the black angel Angle, and the bottom laners Huanfeng and Snake were able to do their job all the time.

Everyone has their own famous scene. Especially Angle's Akali killed Jack in front of Tam. It was too exaggerated.

At least before playing against DWG, they didn't realize how strong the opponent was.

But the reality is cruel, the old SN was directly defeated and disbanded.

Now the only one active in the competition is Bin.

Sofm returned to Vietnam, Angle had a hard time getting into the playoffs, Huanfeng was competing with others for the starting spot in TT, and Sheshe returned this year but also struggled in the bottom team.
"You bring back bad memories for me."

"My brother Bin, I just really don't want to have any regrets."

Bin knew that Xia Sen was sincere in what he said. In a trance, Bin felt that the most important thing he should do now was to open the computer and start ranking immediately, instead of continuing to argue with Xia Sen here.

Winning the championship this year also puts an imperfect end to the old SN.
When bin stood up to throw away the garbage, his heart was not at peace. He could think of the scene of the five of them holding the trophy more than a month later, and he could also imagine all the scenes of falling in the Swiss round, the quarterfinals, and the semi-finals.

Let him pick one of these scenes, and of course there's no need to say anything more.

Okay, try your best!
In the evening, I had a training match with WBG.

Xia Sen played the Tsar as usual. Two hours later, Xia Sen took the initiative to type "GG" on the public screen.

Xia Sen thinks that the mid-jungle combination of Belvis and Nico on Weibo is quite powerful.

"My, I can actually restrict their entry, but I want to try to save the big fight for the follow-up." Xia Sen took the initiative to take the responsibility.

Xun also said: "My goodness, I forgot that you are the Tsar earlier, and I took it for granted, and led two waves of rhythm that I shouldn't have led."

"It's okay. Training matches are used to find problems. We haven't played the Tsar system much. Plus, we haven't played a training match in two months. It's normal."

While the team members were discussing, Tabe was thinking about the role of the Tsar in his mind.

The Tsar had his attack speed enhanced in the summer season, but don’t underestimate this enhancement. This means that the Tsar has combat capability as soon as Nashor’s Fang comes out, and its strength can be maintained until the second mythical mask.

Being strengthened in the early stages and not weakened in the later stages, the Tsar is naturally very useful.

The other end.

Everyone in WBG felt that the victory was quite easy, as they returned from vacation early and had been practicing the new version.

Xiaohu frowned, feeling that this was not BLG's normal level.

Or is it that BLG has started training matches to confuse their opponents again?
Liu Qingsong complained: "Is the opponent not taking us seriously? Their midfield and jungle haven't even linked up. Do they look down on us so much?"

Weiwei: "Not really. They just got back from holiday yesterday, and the top, mid and jungle have been playing the old version, so this situation should be quite normal now."

Everyone was chatting idly.

Xiaohu opened the Korean server account and went to bighand's homepage. After taking a look, he found that Tsar had indeed been playing a lot recently.

"If you're practicing Tsar, then I'll practice too."

Xiaohu said something.

No one can deny it.

On October 10, BDS from the European region and GG from the North American region started the world championship qualifying battle, and the winner will advance to the finals.

The format of the match was BO5, and it was just a bit joyful. BDS top laner Adam chose Garen to play against Quesanti in the second game. Logically speaking, Garen had unlimited advantages in this matchup.

I don’t know if it was because of nervousness or some other reason, but Garen was beaten so badly by Quesanti that he couldn’t take care of himself in the lane. The director would never have switched the screen to the top lane in his life.

But he was unwilling to give up and wandered around frantically looking for pictures for himself.

But he won it anyway.

And in the third round he picked Garen again.

This time, when fighting against weapons, this guy finally showed his ability and won the MVP. This made everyone realize that this guy was not just playing Garen for fun, but had some skills.

But Garen is really easy to beat against weapon enemies. With Ignite, and the strong period of level 11 full-level E plus the second-level big move, you can kill them if you get close to the weapon enemies.

BDS won the qualifying match 3-0, which also meant that BDS advanced to the final round.

Playing Garen in the world championship, even if it's just a qualifier, is enough to be explosive.

Sharp comments from forum users: Top competition, top players, top operations!
On the 10th, the S13 qualifying matches kicked off at the LOL Park venue in Seoul, South Korea.

The eight teams are divided into two groups, and the last two teams advance to the Swiss round.

The four seeded teams from LPL and LCK do not need to participate in the qualifying rounds today.

The reason given by Riot is that the level gap is too large, which affects the viewing experience, and at the same time it can give other teams more hope of winning.

The four teams in Group A are GAM from Vietnam and LLL from Brazil.

Merged into PSG in Southeast Asia and R7 in Latin America.

The four teams in Group B, BDS vs. TW, CFO vs. DFM.

At 7 pm domestic time, the opening match between R and PSG kicked off.

The competition system is BO3, double elimination, and the winner and loser group finals use the BO5 system.

This means that every team has a chance to revive and there is no possibility of being eliminated in the first round.

All I can say is that Riot has been really concerned about these weaker teams this year.

We have to give them a little more experience.

In the first game, Xia Sen and others sat in front of the computer and commented on the BP.

PSG's top laner Kennen, jungler Jarvan IV, bottom laner Xayah and Rakan, and mid laner Neeko meant they were destined to win this BP.

When a team fight breaks out, everyone just rushes in.

This lineup is not effective against strong teams because strong teams will consciously open up the first wave, but it is difficult for weak teams to do this.

So the scene in this game is that PSG wins as soon as they initiate the team fight. Once they flash and rush out, it is really easy to win the team fight.

The content of the first game was like this, so Xia Sen felt there was no need to watch it.

It would be better to use this time to improve your rank.

As expected, PSG easily won the second game and advanced to the next round.

second round.

GAM vs. LLL.

The Brazilian powerhouse takes on the veteran Vietnamese team.

It is obvious that judging from the support rate before the game, everyone is still optimistic about GAM.

But the result is hard to judge, LLL swept 2:0 and advanced to the next round.

On the first day of the qualifying round, the ratings were not high.

After all, in the eyes of netizens, it’s just a bunch of noobs fighting each other.

In a competition like this, no one cares about the process, but the result.

What's really nice is the Swiss wheel at the back.

Because Riot is the number one team and has just adopted this format in the World Championship, netizens from all over the world are still looking forward to whether any sparks will be created.

For example, which team will advance to the knockout stage with all wins and which team will be eliminated with all losses, this has caused heated speculation among everyone.

"It's too difficult to win all the games. In this system, the more you win, the stronger your opponents will be. Unless you are ahead of all the players by a huge margin, it's impossible."

"Almost the same. It's hard to lose all of them. We have to fall far behind all the teams."

"The advantage of not having groups this year is that we can see more powerful teams competing against each other."

“But the possibility of civil war is much greater.”

"Anyway, come on."
