Chapter 326 Group Match Results
The S7 "Glory of the Kings" World Championship is held in China for the first time, so its attention can be said to be unprecedentedly high!
The scale of the e-sports industry in this world is originally larger than that of the original world. In addition, Nan Gezi's pioneering e-sports work "Who Can Compete" is leading the trend, which further increases its popularity.
Nowadays, the e-sports category has become a category with considerable fan stickiness. Perhaps its subscriptions cannot be compared with those of more popular categories, but its rewards are unique.
Of course, the fact that the S7 of "Honor of Kings" held in China has attracted so much attention is also one of the important reasons why "brother-in-law" Gu Wenzhou and his DGE team were able to win the championship of the S6 World Championship.
The history of China's "Heroes of Glory" e-sports in this world is basically a history of humiliation. Its poor quality can even be compared to the NA region of the original world.
If it weren't for the sudden appearance of "brother-in-law" Gu Wenzhou, many Chinese e-sports fans would have basically laid back and accepted their fate, assuming that the LPL region is a bottom-feeder region that can only rely on foreign aid, and that when playing against teams from the other three regions, they would be a gift-giving away of points.
Foreign e-sports fans have not changed their views on the LPL region, which is "China is a loser."
As for why S6 was able to win the championship, it was naturally because the DGE team’s South Korean foreign aid had thick thighs!
What? Some people countered that Gu Wenzhou was the Finals MVP and had left many famous scenes at the World Championship, such as the God-like four-player one-shot kill and the Phantom Blade pentakill in the finals.
This kind of rebuttal is simply nonsense in the eyes of those Korean fans and European and American fans who can't stand up. They believe that Gu Wenzhou's show is based on the condition that he has the backing of South Korean players.
Now that the DGE team has become an all-Chinese team, won’t Gu Wenzhou be able to show off his skills?
According to the classic control variable method, we can conclude that the real hero of DGE team's victory in the S6 World Championship is the foreign aid player from South Korea. As for the "brother-in-law" Gu Wenzhou, he is just the icing on the cake.
To Gu Wenzhou's fans, such remarks are pure nonsense. No matter how you look at it, he is the main contributor to S6's championship.
As for why "brother-in-law" Gu Wenzhou can no longer show off, it is because of the version. The top laners in this version are all meaty, not warriors or assassins, so they can't show off even if they want to!
However, who made the DGE team have foreign players? When this "hybrid team" wins the championship, even if the FMVP is Chinese, it is considered that they can win this individual award. It is just an unspoken rule.
Now, the DGE team has become an all-Chinese team, and even the coach is a local Chinese coach.
The strength of its lineup in the spring season was only "B+", but it successfully won the MSI championship. This is also the first world championship for an all-Chinese team in the world!
It finally made those fans of the Korean and European teams shut up, and they had to temporarily admit that the all-Chinese team is indeed very capable.
Of course, because the DGE team has been very active in marketing its all-Chinese squad and even tattooed the national flag on their uniforms, there is a sense of moral kidnapping that if you don't support the DGE team, you are not Chinese. This has also caused many e-sports fans to develop ptsd, feeling that they have lost their nationality and cannot criticize the DGE team at all.
Therefore, many Chinese audiences who look down on their own region secretly hope that the DGE team will fail in this S7. In this way, they feel that their nationality is back.
This public opinion is comparable to the RNG team in the original World S8. This team was an all-Chinese team with various marketing methods. As a result, it became one of the "patriotic three-piece set", namely Wolf Warrior, Huawei, and RNG.
Everyone knows the result later. It was eliminated in the quarterfinals of S8. Public opinion exploded and it suffered a huge backlash.
The DGE team in this world is actually okay, because it has already won the S championship, and its "brother-in-law" Gu Wenzhou also won the FMVP, so even if it does not achieve ideal results in S7 this time, Gu Wenzhou does not have to take the blame.
The position that DGE team always takes the blame for is naturally the ADC position.
However, in the group stage, this ADC player performed quite well, at least he didn't suck.
Chinese e-sports fans have been joking that this lousy ADC who ruined the entire summer season and even cost DGE the summer championship must be on drugs to perform so well in the World Championship.
What they didn't know was that after this player knew that Gu Qingge was backing him up, he completely let go and played without any psychological pressure at all. He played at 120% of his strength!
Under such circumstances, the DGE team successfully entered the quarterfinals with a 6-0 group stage record and the first place!
This result is hard to believe for many e-sports fans. Isn't it said that the DGE team is already at the end of its strength? Why is it still so strong in foreign wars?
Because of the DGE team's strong performance in the group stage, Chinese e-sports fans are full of confidence in the LPL's No. 1 seed ESG team. They think that since it defeated the DGE team in the finals of the summer season, it will definitely be able to break into the quarterfinals in its home country. After all, for the Chinese team, reaching the semi-finals is considered a success.
The ESG team has always been obsessed with South Korean foreign aid. If it didn't have two South Korean big guys in the team, it might not play the game.
This time, because it defeated the DGE team in the summer season, it was scolded by fans in the fan circle, saying that it did not deserve to beat the all-Chinese team at all, and that it ruined the all-Chinese team's Grand Slam history for a whole year. In short, the ESG team is the sinner in the history of LPL e-sports.
What many Chinese e-sports fans did not expect was that the number one seed ESG team performed poorly in the group stage, and ultimately failed to qualify from the group stage, and only made it to the top 16!
This is simply a reverse breakthrough!
After all, as long as the ESG team was qualified to participate in the S game, it could reach the top 8 every year. However, this time in China, it performed so poorly!
Among them, the two South Korean foreign players of the ESG team performed extremely poorly. When they met the South Korean team SKG in the same group, they were "loyal to their country". Some people even scolded them for "buying" or "getting a luxury house in Gangnam District"...
It also left behind a super famous scene where the economy of 10,000 was overturned!
"Why economic leadership is an advantage.jpg" has also become the exclusive meme of the ESG team.
All in all, the ESG team has been nailed to the pillar of shame. It is a typical team that is as fierce as a tiger in civil wars but as cowardly as a dog in foreign wars.
Such a phantom god of civil war became the No. 1 seed of LPL. It is actually not a big deal that it did not qualify from the group stage, otherwise it might have been beaten 4:0 in the knockout stage.
The third seed of LPL, EW team, actually performed quite well in the group stage this time and finally qualified as the second in the group. However, after the draw for the quarterfinals, it will face the champion team SKG from South Korea. It is very likely that this S7 World Championship will end here.
No matter how you look at it, the heavy responsibility of this S7 falls on the all-Chinese DGE team, which was not favored before the game. Its opponent in the quarterfinals is a European team.
