Before RNG, GEN, 100, and CFO appeared, an LPL team bid farewell to this World Championship in advance, leaving behind a lonely back. It is the LPL No. 2 seed TES, LOL champion ADC Ashui Jackeylove, S9 Global Finals FMVP Xiaotian, star mid laner Knighttml4, veteran Mark, and the new generation top laner Wayward.
TES's World Championship journey was particularly bumpy. Since the team had only 1 win and 2 losses in the first round of group stage, if TES wants to successfully enter the quarterfinals, they must try their best to win three games, but they lost to the bottom GAM team. Even if they win the strong teams in Group C, RGE and DRX, TES still cannot reach 4 games in total, and finally bid farewell to the S12 Global Finals with regret. After TES, the second seed of
LPL, MSI tri-champion RNG, who also came from the LPL region, stepped onto the stage. Although RNG is only the fourth seed of LPL, they showed strong resilience and tactical execution in the first round of group stages, and could even defeat the powerful LCK overlord GEN. What worries fans is that the main players including Breathe, Gala, Xiaohu, Xiaoming, and Wei are all sick and cannot go to the stadium and can only participate in the competition remotely. For RNG generals, it is not easy to continue their winning streak.
According to the schedule, RNG will play against 100, CFO, GEN on October 17, pre-match LNG main mid-lane Doinb, and former RNG champion puppy Uzi appeared in the live broadcast room and expressed their views on the group stage. Doinb interprets the training match, and on the other side, puppy Uzi named TES AShui Jackeylove, which triggered heated discussions among LOL summoners.
Speaking of the second round of group D group stage, Doinb said bluntly: I definitely hope that LPL will win the championship! In my opinion, RNG can definitely advance to the quarterfinals. The question is whether he can get the No. 1 seed ticket to Group D. If RNG is the No. 2 seed in Group D, he may meet JDG. I heard that the LPL team (training competition) participating in this World Championship has a low winning rate when facing JDG. There is no need to stage a "LPL civil war" in the quarterfinals knockout round. I hope RNG will become the first in Group D.
Look at Uzi, who has been away from the field for a long time. Looking back at the S8 Global Finals, Uzi's RNG is a favorite to win the championship, but they lost to G2 and unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals. He witnessed the TES where Jackeylove fall in the group stage. Uzi named A Shui: Jackeylove said that the training matches are played casually in the usual training matches, which is reflected in the game. I was the same in the S8 season. Through the training match, I felt that the strength of the team (RNG) declined, but I should still defeat G2. I understand Jackeylove in particular that if he is in the training match, he will feel weak in the game.
As Doinb said, although RNG is sick, the team has three consecutive victories, and the players are competitive in an online manner, with a panel strength far exceeding 100 and CFO. RNG is likely to advance to the quarterfinals steadily. It is unknown whether it can meet the LPL team in the quarterfinals knockout round.
On the other hand, TES, who was stopped in the top 16, according to Jackeylove, TES was too slow to warm up and was not serious enough to be in the training match. All kinds of problems were reflected in the game and eventually left the game in disgrace. This shows that if the team wants to achieve good results in the World Championship, from the players to the coaching team, they must have a correct attitude in order to achieve the competitive level they should have.
