Chapter 398
Before Tianlu, Astralis, the biggest favorite of this major, defeated them and took the lead in getting tickets to the legendary group.
After Team A, Liquid, who also performed well, also got the second ticket to the legendary group. These two teams scored a 3-0 record in the Swiss round of the major competition.
After them, Tianlu, NaVi and COL won the next three legendary seats, and their record was 3-1.
Among them, Tianlu defeated HellRaiser, while NaVi won three games in a row after losing one game first, and got tickets to the legendary group.
As for COL, they are an absolute dark horse. No one is optimistic about this North American team before the game, but they won the fifth legendary group with good chemistry and pretty good signing.
On the last day of the major competition, the last three legendary groups were officially launched. They were HellRaiser, who lost to Tianlu. In the final life and death battle, this team stubbornly defeated BIG and took the last bus to the quarterfinals. In addition, there was a stumble but qualified MIBR, and the last quota was beyond everyone's expectations.
"I can only say that this Galaxy battleship that once boarded the top1 is time to reorganize!"
In the last game of MAJOR 16-8, FaZe encountered NiP, who was in good shape recently.
Originally, FaZe's condition in this major was a bit bad, and there were indeed some problems within their team, so after fighting with NiP's three-picture, they were eliminated by the former Swedish legendary team with a score of 1-2.
"We still have a lot of opportunities in this legendary group!"
After FaZe was eliminated, Tianlu was surprised to find that they were the fourth highest-ranking team in this legendary group.
Before them, there were teams A, NaVi and liquid, currently occupying the top three in the world, and then Tianlu, who ranked sixth in the world.
The remaining teams, the highest ranking is MIBR, ranked 9th. It can be said that if Tianlu is lucky in the first round of lottery draw in this legendary group, they will have a very good chance of reaching the semi-finals.
...
The Legendary Group match will start on September 23, but the quarterfinals draw was held the day after the end of 16 to 8.
"There are only 8 teams left now. Among these eight teams, there are only three teams from Europe, and there are three teams from America. Does this mean that the strength of the American CS is slowly catching up with Europe?"
Before the draw, the commentator from America was very proud. In fact, this situation could occur in the World Championship every few days.
But in fact, after playing around, people will still find that the North American team's competitiveness in the world will eventually be left, that is liquid.
South American teams like MIBR have long been no longer the kings they once did. They even formed the American company, with two former Najor champions joining them.
On the contrary, European teams are stronger than American teams in terms of quality and quantity. In addition to the currently invincible team A, there are also second-team teams such as MOUZ, FaZe, fnatiIP and HellRaiser, which often achieve some results.
"I don't think so, I just think that among these three American teams, only one of Liquid can enter the semifinals!"
"Really? Do you really think so?"
"Of course, first of all, I think I can book a spot in the semi-finals. There is also NaVi. Although it is the only CIS, they are really strong!"
"Then it's liquid. I think these three teams have a relatively high chance. I think the fourth quarterfinals should be Tianlu's!"
"Tianlu? I don't think there is any level gap between them and IBR!"
The American analyst and European host sang together and had a heated discussion before the draw. It was obvious that the North American analyst was too exaggerating about his own division and even had a little brainless feeling of flattery.
"The reason I am optimistic about Tianlu is because they have the player Light in their team! This year, Light's performance is impeccable. As long as you watch the game, you will know that he is a player who can create miracles!"
"But this is a game for five people!"
"Five people? That's right, but how much do you think COL's players can be better than Tianlu's players? I think it's all about whether they are strong or not!"
Seeing that the two analysts were about to fight, the lottery draw on the spot finally began.
"The first team, Astralis, see who their opponent is?"
Good guy, I got up and pulled out the teams that no one wanted to meet in this competition.
"The opponent is NiP!"
Other captains who were not drawn breathed a sigh of relief. For NiP, although their expressions were a little numb, it would be easier to be beaten by Team A in the legendary group game than being eliminated by other teams of similar strength.
"Look at the second group of battles, liquid! Their opponent...MIBR!"
The second group is the American Civil War. MIBR is no longer a South American team. They also have a training base in North America. After the disbandment of immortals, South America no longer has any training value. Therefore, MIBR took advantage of the opportunity to absorb two North American players and left the south and entered the north.
As soon as this draw was drawn, the North American commentator's face turned dark because he felt that as long as liquid did not draw Team A and NaVi, he could determine a place in the semi-finals, and MIBR had the opportunity to compete for a place.
After all, there are experienced veterans in MIBR. The more you get into such a competition, the more effective the veteran's experience will be.
"The third group, the teams drawn from this group will be divided into one and a half zone with the first group, namely Team A and NIP. Who will it be?"
"Oh oh oh, Tianlu faces COL!"
"Haha! Tianlu vs. COL, this will definitely be a more exciting duel!"
When this result appeared, audiences in China and North America were in a state of excitement.
[Tianlu kills you for your master! He scored in the semi-finals of MAJOR!]
【d!】
Both sides felt that they had a good draw, but for Zhao Yiyang, when he saw this opponent, he really felt that the semi-finals were already close.
"Beautiful! COL, we have a great chance!"
Although AJOR is a complete dark horse, everyone knows that the strength of these people is over.
They were unknown before the major and kept slept in the second team of North America. After they arrived at the major, Zhao Yiyang also knew very well that these people would still return to their position.
Therefore, he really felt that as long as Tianlu didn't careless or underestimate the enemy, and everything would go at the normal pace, their probability of winning would be at least 60%!
