Three hundred and six: Champion
At 22 minutes, SPS has an economic lead of 21K, of which the economic advantage of 1W8 is on Alchemy. The big brother on our side has just released the first big item, and the Alchemy on the opposite side has added various magical equipment and obtained the Guardian of Immortality, OG
The pressure can be imagined.
At 23 minutes, SPS went up.
Ceb got the jumping knife and immediately used all skills with his teammates (big jump, small VT, etc.) to kill Alchemy's first life. As a result, Chen's big move + Macon forcibly saved Alchemy from the death line.
After returning, Ana had no choice but to use up all her souls to rush into the battle array in exchange for Alchemy's first life.
"It's okay, it's okay, the opponent has no skills, just wait for my big move to hit." After resurrecting, Xiao Se retreated safely to the enemy's high ground under the cover of his teammates, planning to wait for the big move to CD before moving up.
All the skills of SPS are there, but Chen's ultimate move and Immortal Shield are missing. OG has no moves, their equipment cannot keep up, and their skills are all on CD. They no longer know how to win this game.
With all the skills, SPS is like a tiger charging into the high ground of OG.
The tidal jump is huge! The phoenix turns into an egg! The alchemist madman with the big medal BKB comes up and drops the knife with his hand!
【SPS.ONE(Alchemist) is already like a god!】
【SPS.ONE(Alchemist) has Holy Shit!】
【OG.Notail(Charming Witch):GG WP】
GG!
Notail knocked out GG, and SPS won this crucial battle with a score of 2:0, locking the top spot in Group B in advance.
The camera was bleak, and we saw that he had begun to calmly put away his keyboard, as if the game just passed was just a passing cloud.
During the interview with the winner, the organizer specifically requested: "Anyone can do it, don't be indifferent."
It seems that the official answer is difficult for the officials to accept.
Okay, let's find someone else.
"Let us welcome AME, the number one player of the SPS team! AME and say hello to the audience in front of the camera."
"Uh, hello everyone, I am Lao Gan Daddy's AME." AME looked at the camera, her dull eyes nowhere to be found.
"We know that OG eliminated SPS 2:1 in the just-concluded Kiev Major. How do you feel about coming back with revenge in the group stage today? Do you feel relieved?"
"Well..." AME held the microphone and worked hard to organize the vocabulary.
The female host is full of expectations.
"It's okay." He said.
Female host: "..."
"Okay, ah, let's change the question. After winning these two points, you still have two bo2s. According to the current points form, SPS has stabilized the group qualifying. Can you reveal whether SPS will select some in the subsequent schedule?
What about something new for the audience to see?”
"Hmm... probably not, because the opponents behind us seem to be quite strong, like..." AME rolled his eyes, "Uh, I forgot who it was."
"It's VP and HR." The female host couldn't laugh or cry. She couldn't even finish what she said, so she might as well have replaced Xiao Se.
"Last question, what are the goals you have set for yourself on this Ti trip?" She skipped the middle and asked the last non-nutritious question.
"What kind of problems are these..." the host thought helplessly. Almost all the players would conservatively or modestly say "top six", "guaranteed four and fight for three", "top three"...
"Be the champion." AME said.
…
After the three-day group stage, the situation of all teams gradually became clear, and Fnati was eliminated early.
On the fourth day, SPS drew with VP 1:1, and then easily defeated HR 2:0 in the final round, ranking first with a luxurious record of 14/2.
The second place in Group B is OG (11/5), the third and fourth place are VP (10/6) and Newbee (10/6) respectively.
In Group A, EG ranked first with 13 wins and 3 losses, followed by LGD with 12/4, followed by Liquid (11/5) and EHOME (10/6).
As the first team in the group, SPS has the right to first select its opponents. The third and fourth place players in Group A are Liquid and EHOME.
Then here comes the problem.
Generally speaking, if the Chinese team wins the first place in the group, it will undoubtedly pick the weaker team (fourth place), and then leave the stronger team (third place) to the second place in the same group.
.But now there is a special situation - EHOME is a Chinese team. If SPS picks them, their rhythm will be everywhere.
Personally, choosing EHOME is undoubtedly the best choice, while publicly, you should choose Liquid to avoid civil war. However, as the Major champions of the Kiev Invitational Tournament, Liquid appeared to be able to handle the group stage with ease, and no one wanted to meet them in the first round of the upper bracket.
For Xiao Se, Liquid is still the focus of this invitational tournament. If possible, try to avoid meeting them.
"Who should I choose? EHOME or Liquid?"
"It doesn't feel good to choose EHOME. We don't have any grudge against them, but it would be nice to have OG and Liquid compete against each other. Oh, it's really hard to choose." Leather shoes also feel uncomfortable.
As Yang said, another advantage of SPS choosing EHOME is that it allows OG and Liquid to meet in advance. If they choose Liquid, it will undoubtedly set the most difficult hurdle for them to advance in the upper bracket.
No one said anything, they were all very confused at this moment.
"How about tossing a coin?" AME said suddenly.
"Okay." Xiao Se replied, and he took out an ordinary one-yuan coin.
"You still have one dollar with you?" Xi Xie couldn't help complaining.
Xiao Se laughed: "It is necessary for patients with difficulty in choosing late stage products."
"Literally Liquid, flower surface EHOME." He said.
"good."
Xiao Se rolled up his sleeves, put the coin on his thumb, and tossed it.
Bing——
The coin drew a not very graceful arc in the air.
Snap, then gently dropped on the table.
Xiao Se stepped forward and covered it with his palm.
All the team members gathered around.
But Xiao Se didn't reveal the answer for a long time. He and his teammates looked at each other one by one.
The members of SPS all laughed.
They saw the answer in their own eyes.
"So be it."
"good."
Xiao Se raised his palm and saw that the coin had a flower face.
…
Hotel, Gu Nan's team has spent 4 days here in the group stage, and will enter the complete knockout round after today. Seeing the green results of SPS, Gu Nan is excited and wants to know what SPS will do.
Choose which team will be your opponent.
So he called Xiao Se directly.
"Hello?"
"Who did you choose?"
"I haven't chosen yet."
"Why don't you fill in the role of stepmother and let OG and Li Kui fight each other? You can at least send a Chinese team to the finals." Although Gu Nan emotionally hoped that SPS would choose Liquid, rationality told him that EHOME was the best choice. As for
If the domestic audience wants to scold me, let them scold me. Anyway, if they win the championship, they will change their faces.
"Okay." Xiao Se replied with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Nan told them the news.
"It should be a civil war. It's a pity, but it's understandable. Hey, it would be nice if EHOME could give it a little more strength. There's not that much rhythm."
"What are you talking about? The grouping has been released." Bai Yu was very puzzled and showed the grouping information on the official website to see.
