The small setback that OMG suffered at the hands of Samsung Blue did not affect the overall performance of the LPL team.

The two brother teams LG.S and LG.G continued to maintain the strong momentum in the first round in the second round, sweeping away other teams in the group like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, and continued their winning streak in an unstoppable manner.

After the final group stage, both teams qualified successfully as the first in their group with a perfect record.

Even though the OMG team suffered a small setback, they did not seem to be affected too much in the second round of the group stage. Not only did they maintain their victory against the European and American C9 and FNC in the group, they even successfully regained their ground against Samsung Blue.

When facing Samsung Blue again, OMG maintained its fierce and aggressive tactical style while also strengthening its tactical operations. In the end, OMG broke through Samsung Blue's iron wall of defense with its strong early-stage attack and tied with Samsung Blue in a 1-1 draw.

But unfortunately, the two teams had a record of 5 to 1, so they naturally had to play an extra game.

In the final extra game, Samsung Blue adjusted the ban selection in time, which enhanced the team's early confrontation ability and strengthened the team's coordination. After a fierce battle, OMG was still one step behind and lost to Samsung Blue, qualifying as the second in the group.

"I suddenly thought of a question. If the current LMQ returns to the LPL league, what place can they get in the league?"

Although this team is the second seed in the North American region and competes under the name of the North American region, the entire team, from players to coaches, are all Chinese. Therefore, in the eyes of many people outside, this is not only a North American team, but also a Chinese team.

This time, North American fans can finally stand up and say loudly: NA is greater than EU. After all, they have two places in the quarterfinals this time.

"The LPL region isn't that scary, right? Any random team on the edge of the playoffs can compete with the champions of other major regions?"

The two eventually won the titles of No. 1 top laner and No. 1 ADC in the North American region respectively.

A total of eight places were qualified from the group stage, of which four were occupied by Chinese teams and three by Korean teams, which together accounted for 7 percent.

"I really didn't expect that the entire European region would be eliminated in the group stage. Is it true that the glory of LCS depends entirely on NA?"

But some people may ask, isn't it said that each region can only have three teams participating in the S game? Even if all the teams qualify, there are only three teams, so how can there be four Chinese teams?

“.”

"So what you mean is that our region is second, and the top eight in the world can't even make it to the playoffs in LPL?" said a fan who was obviously from the North American region.

"Royal Club? Didn't they make the top four in Worlds in S3? It's normal that LMQ can't beat them, right? But how are their results this year? Why didn't they come to Worlds?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the forum fell into a cold silence.

"It's not certain. After all, it's a training match. It's different from a formal match. It's not certain."

Apart from the two Taiwanese teams in the Southeast Asia region, there is another team that many people regard as a Chinese team that also made it out of the group stage. They are the Royal Club’s second team mentioned earlier - LMQ.

In the end, the Chinese and Korean regions each took up two first places in the group and one second place in the group. From the North American region, two teams, TSM and LMQ, broke through and advanced to the quarterfinals as the second places in their groups.

This team was originally the second team of Royal Club. After the end of S3, the top laner Shenchao of the first team transferred to the team to strengthen the top lane. Later, due to the internal planning of the Royal Club, it went to the North American division.

"It seems that according to gossip, LMQ often loses more than they win in scrims with their Royal Club team."

Although they eventually lost to the North American phantom team TSM with a score of 2 to 3, they also successfully advanced to the World Championship as the second seed of the North American region.

When the group stage of Group D ended, the group stage of the S game also officially ended. Seeing the final results of the group stage, all the audiences except those in China and South Korea shook their heads and sighed, especially the European audiences.

During this process, Shen Chao, who often teamed up with Xiao Min, wreaked havoc on the entire North American top lane, and the bottom lane combination of Death Sentence and Doomsday also dominated the bottom lane of North America.

The results of the group stage also sparked a wave of public opinion, and forums in various League of Legends circles around the world were all engaged in heated discussions.

But in the eyes of many people, it is not just the three teams in LPL that can be regarded as Chinese teams.

"Or what kind of position can the champion and runner-up of our region get if they go to LPL?"

Starting from the second-tier league of the North American division, they won all the way, jumped from the second-tier league to the first-tier league, then entered the playoffs, and finally defeated C9 and advanced to the North American division finals.

"What's even more unexpected is LMQ. I didn't expect that as the second team of an LPL team that didn't make it to the World Championship, they made it all the way from the lower league to the World Championship. Not only that, they also successfully qualified and reached the quarterfinals. Who could have thought of this a few months ago?"

In other regions, including the traditionally powerful EU region, as well as the Southeast Asia region and the wildcard region, no team made it past the quarterfinals and all of them were sent home within the group stage.

Regardless of the overall strength of LPL, the information provided by these netizens is correct, that is, during the training match, LMQ had a very difficult time facing Royal Club.

"Hiss, is it so terrifying?"

Although Royal Club's performance this season is not very good due to the turmoil in the club, in the fierce competitive environment of the LPL region, several newly introduced young players of Royal Club have grown very rapidly.

Especially for the top laner Cola and the mid laner Corn, their potential was quickly tapped under the fierce online competition in LPL. With the support of the talented AD UZI, Royal Club's condition improved significantly in the later stages of the season.

After all, LMQ is in the North American division with less competitive pressure. Even though they often communicate and play training games with LPL teams, it is inevitable that the players' condition will decline.

Even the hardest-working Shenchao was like this, not to mention that Death Sentence was already under pressure facing Uzi, so it was no surprise that LMQ had a hard time facing Royal Club.

But even so, LMQ's journey to the World Championship continues, and the shock that LPL has brought to the world goes far beyond this.
