Chapter 76 Group Match (Part 2)
Under such tremendous pressure, MG defeated the powerful No. 2 seed player from the Korean region after a 43-minute battle. This not only gave them a good start in this world competition, but also gave them a preliminary understanding of the strength of the other region.
This greatly relieved the pressure in their hearts and gave them a reassurance for themselves and the entire HPL.
Otherwise, if the No. 1 team of HPL lost to the No. 2 seed from the Korean region in the first game of the group match, they would still have a chance to win the championship, but their confidence would definitely be greatly reduced.
So after winning this game, everyone was as happy as when they won the league championship.
In this game, several young players also learned a lot, and they have gained some confidence in defending their championship and completing an unprecedented golden road.
Qi Ji's feelings were not so great, after all, he had experienced such group matches too many times.
But it was precisely because of his presence that MG was able to win this game without any danger, which made Yuan Zhuo, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be moved by him for the ten thousandth time.
So, after shaking hands with the opponent, when everyone returned to the backstage to take a break, Yuan Zhuo couldn't help but drag Qi Ji to a hidden corner and pressed him against the wall.
After the BO1 between FBG and RV ended, MG would start their second BO1 with FBG.
They could only rest for an hour, and Qi Ji wanted to use this time to review and analyze the next round of opponents with his teammates and the coaching team, arrange tactics, etc.
But before he could frown and push Yuan Zhuo away with some displeasure, he spoke pitifully.
"Five minutes, just five minutes, okay, wife!"
Yuan Zhuo didn't want to be so excited, but he was already very excited after the game just now, and his super-cool wife made him unable to control himself.
After all, she was used to being in love, and Qi Ji's heart softened immediately after he begged so pitifully.
He stretched out his arms and hugged him back.
"Just five minutes, not allowed... too much."
Although he really wanted to, Yuan Zhuo was not so absurd and beastly.
However, he still tried to make the most of these five minutes. When they finally walked out of the corner, the blush on Qi Ji's face had not yet faded, and his lips were slightly swollen.
Yuan Zhuo looked satisfied, blinked his puppy eyes and whispered to him.
"Wife, I will definitely go all out to win this world championship with you!"
Qi Ji nodded.
Yes, they must go all out, he also wanted his last championship to be theirs.
In the next game, Yuan Zhuo really fulfilled his promise, and his whole state got better and better.
In the second BO1, they slaughtered the third seed FBG in North America with a kill ratio of 19:1 in 20 minutes. In the end, FBG's soul tank couldn't help but "complain" when shaking hands with Qi Ji.
"Miracle, I'm going to stop being a fan for a day!"
After resting for more than an hour, MG's last BO1 of the day is about to start. Their opponent is the third seed RV team from the Korean region.
It can only be said that the Korean region is worthy of being the region with the strongest HOW comprehensive ability. When playing against RV, it is no easier than playing against USD.
In fact, compared with the stable and disciplined USD, RV's style is even bolder. When they just came online at level 1, the five of them hid in the bushes and killed Zhu Yu and Cheng Xiaowa who were going to the opponent's jungle to place wards.
Suddenly, they died at level 1. Cheng Xiaowa apologized to everyone with guilt and anxiety.
"Fuck, I'm sorry!"
Facing the opponent's ingenious and sudden design, there was nothing they could do. Qi Ji immediately spoke to comfort Cheng Xiaowa and Zhu Yu.
"It's okay, we can fight back in the middle lane." Duan
Tianya also added.
"I can also stay stable in the top lane, don't worry about me."
Qi Ji also did what he said. With extreme operation and positioning, he almost pressed the opponent's soul magic in the tower and couldn't get out. His whole state and performance didn't look like a 25-year-old veteran who had been fighting for ten years.
Maybe the overall age of the team was too young, and RV was also beaten by Qi Ji. The soul thorn didn't even refresh the jungle, and rushed over from the jungle to gank him.
But Qi Ji seemed to have eyes behind him. The moment he flashed over, he used his positioning to turn around and return to his own tower without even using flash.
This extremely exciting scene not only made the audience scream and clap their hands until they were swollen, but also made the opponent's players couldn't help but curse.
"Oh my god, is he a monster?"
At the same time, good news came from MG's top lane. Duan Tianya used his position to lure the opponent's soul tank to a very deep position. At the same time, Yuan Zhuo, who received Duan Tianya's signal, also avoided RV's sight and quietly moved over from the wild area.
By the time the opponent heard the footsteps in the bushes and realized something was wrong, it was too late. There was no chance for him to escape. Yuan Zhuo and Duan Tianya killed him together. Yuan Zhuo got the kill and Duan Tianya also relieved the pressure on the line. So far, they have recovered a lot of the economic losses and disadvantages caused by the death of the bottom lane in the early stage.
However, RV was crazy, not like the Korean team known for its stability. In the subsequent laning and team battles, they seemed to have the mentality of dying if they didn't succeed, and they launched crazy attacks on MG, not to mention that some of them were really successful.
Fortunately, under Qi Ji's calm command and everyone's joint efforts, MG finally held on.
When RV was about to push down MG's front crystal tower, the resurrected Cheng Xiaowa and Zhu Yu did not give up. Cheng Xiaowa desperately released a perfect ultimate move, freezing four opponents, and Zhu Yu fearlessly output madly, directly killing the three remaining people on the opponent. Although
they were immediately killed by the remaining two people on the opponent, fortunately, Qi Ji and Yuan Zhuo also resurrected at this time. The two rushed out of the fountain one after the other, killed the two remaining duo on the opposite side, and saved their Heroic Spirit Tower.
After taking a look at the resurrection time on the opposite side, Yuan Zhuo said directly.
"We can TP over and push the tower."
As he spoke, Qi Ji had already lit up TP and teleported himself to the vision eye closest to the opponent's base. The two of them demolished the opponent's Heroic Tower before all the opponents were resurrected and won the game!
So far, the first round of the MG World Championship group stage has not only presented several exciting games to the audience, but also handed in a perfect score of 3-0.
MG's game today is over, but the third group is not over yet. The organizers are really good at arranging the schedule.
The last BO1 today is a civil war between two Korean teams. With both teams losing to MG, whoever wins this BO1 will take the initiative in the second round of the group stage.
Although they are in the same region, they don't seem to be easy on each other, and neither of them shows mercy to the other.
After a 50-minute battle, USD narrowly defeated RV with a difference of 1 head. The final results of the third group are temporarily as follows.
First place: MG (6)
Second place: USD (4)
Third place: RV (2)
Fourth place: FBG (0)
Four days later, the next round of Group 3 will officially determine the top two teams to enter the knockout stage, and the bottom two teams will end their journey to the World Championship.
There will be group stage matches every day.
Two days later, the group stage of Group 1 ended, and the final result of the match was that KDG and BQ advanced.
However, as the champion of last year's summer season and the number one seed of HPL, BQ's performance was not very good this time.
In the group stage, they unexpectedly lost to the Vietnamese team, but fortunately in overtime, they won the victory through solid basic skills, thus avoiding the embarrassing situation of falling into the top 16.
Three days later, ADG and LQ qualified for the second group. There was no way. JAU, whose core was stolen, lost not only their competitive skills, but also the confidence and cohesion that e-sports needs.
Of course, as the host of this world championship, North America was very happy that their No. 1 seed could qualify for the knockout stage. As for the knockout stage?
Indeed, in e-sports, results speak.
But sometimes the spirit of hard work will also be remembered. Even if they may still stop in the quarterfinals as in the past, as long as they can play their own style, there will be no regrets.
On the seventh day of the world championship, MG also ushered in its second round of group matches.
In this round, the two teams from the Korean region tried their best to qualify. After all, if they still hide their tactics at this time, they might accidentally hide their tickets home.
MG, which learned a lot in the previous round and further evolved, also stubbornly resisted the crazy attack from the Korean region and finally advanced to the knockout stage with a perfect record.
This gave the audience, who were almost scared to death by BQ on the fifth day of the game and ADG on the sixth day, who were clearly in the luckiest group, a shot of strong injection, and survived fiercely, although they qualified with a record of 5-1 in the end, but lost to LQ in a game.
Today, one of the two Korean teams will end their journey in the World Championship. After RV avenged USD in the second round, the two sides started a fierce overtime match.
In the end, RV once again relied on its madness to beat the old master USD to death, leaving them no chance to delay the development of four to protect one, and became the second team to advance in the third group.
USD will also become the first strong team to be eliminated. This is also the first time that a team from the Korean region has made it to the top 16 after the decline of HPL and the rise of the Korean region.
All of this will be traced back to the day of the draw, when MG entered the third group and turned the third group into a death group.
Although the eliminated USD players burst into tears, they had to face this fact.
At the same time, the official also thoughtfully sent a special blessing gift
to the USD soul mage player bank, who had already announced that he would officially retire after the end of this world competition and was also the world champion soul mage player in S4. Looking at the big screen, bank was surrounded by his teammates and the blessings and cheers of the audience, holding the special version of the mini war spear cup, squatting and crying. Qi Ji felt mixed emotions in his heart, and his eyes could not help but become sour. A tear overflowed from the corner of his eye, crossed his white cheeks, and silently dripped onto the ground.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhuo, who had been standing next to him, immediately stretched out his fingers to wipe his tears with a distressed look, and whispered to him to assure him.
"Wife, don't worry, I will accompany you until the last moment."
Turning his head, Qi Ji looked at Yuan Zhuo, who looked really distressed, and tears welled up in his eyes.
