Even if the outside world has many doubts about the performance of the SSK team in the finals group stage this year, and there are even some critics, but for the three teams in the LPL division present at the moment, and even all the other teams from the top eight in the finals. Said that even they have seen the performance of the SSK team on the field in the past few days, and they still have enough vigilance and vigilance for this world's strongest team.
Very simple truth.
Just because SSK is the strongest in the world.
From the beginning to the end, from the beginning of the S1 season to the current five or six years, this team from the South Korean LCK division has never let the world have any disappointment.
It has never allowed any team that underestimated them to really take even the slightest advantage from them.
Yes.
It can indeed be admitted that the state of SSK in this year's group stage seems to be not satisfactory compared with previous years, and even the personal performance of the mid laner F-Han Shihao can only be used as disappointment. describe.
The players and players of other teams and clubs will indeed have some speculations in their hearts, trying to think whether there may be some problems with SSK this year.
But this idea, at most, just flashed in their minds.
And that vigilance and vigilance mentality is always there.
To put it more bluntly -
Even now, no team really thinks there is something wrong with SSK.
Even if they do see some elusive and clear situations in SSK's current performance and performance, but because the target is the strongest team in the world, so "elusive" and "unexplainable" are just the opposite. It has become a layer of mystery shrouded in the SSK team.
For other teams, forget it, maybe something really went wrong.
If SSK is possible—
It must be that they are still unpredictable for the time being, and have not really explored what the team is hiding and secret.
In fact, in the past few days, the various teams have not relaxed their detection and investigation of the SSK team, and they have been secretly trying to obtain more information.
But it is true that in this regard, the secrecy of the SSK team club has been done very well.
There are hardly any positive interviews with the outside world.
The interviews given are also light on revealing any key useful information.
As for the various teams who wanted to try to invite SSK to play a few more training games, they were refused by the coaches and team leaders of the other SSK clubs politely and unquestionably.
So this layer of fog continues to linger around the SSK team.
Let the other teams scratch their ears and their hearts are unbearable, and at the same time, they really can't find any better way.
but now-
With the results of the group draw for the quarter-finals, it seems that the problems in the hearts of each team have been troubled, and there is already a vague hope that the truth will be revealed.
Because this time, SSK's top eight opponent is Season.
It was the opponent who fought against SSK in the finals last year.
Even before this year, if we were to make a comprehensive strength ranking for all the top professional teams in the world, then the SSK team deserved to be ranked first, and the North American Season team followed closely, sitting firmly on the second throne. .
So as Tian Tian said:
If it is Season, it really has enough ability to force the SSK team out of more things.
"And make sense—"
Shi Hang suddenly said:
"If you don't say whether there is really something on the SSK side that is deliberately hiding, in their current state, with the strength of Season and others, maybe SSK will be eliminated directly in the quarter-finals. Is it possible?"
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Then they looked at each other, but they also nodded cautiously and slowly:
"Um."
"Indeed... there is such a possibility."
It's not to say how weak the SSK team is in this state, but to know that even if the SSK team was in a full peak state last year against Season, the final BO5 also played 3 to 1. The latter Not entirely without a fight.
The top two meet again this year, and the state and morale of the Season team are still full, so when encountering SSK in this state, maybe it is not just as simple as being able to force the opponent out of the bottom of the box, directly defeating SSK in the quarter-finals to advance to the qualifying... this probability.
Shadow puppet opened his mouth subconsciously:
"That… "
"Is this really an unprecedented event?"
Winner of multiple finals.
In previous years, the SSK team that has almost never been out of the semi-finals or even the finals.
If they fell directly to the quarter-finals this year, the shocking impact of this kind of thing might even be more exaggerated than that of the Assassin team falling in the group stage.
But everyone looked at each other again, but shook their heads:
"It's still too hard to say..."
"You really have to look at the situation between the two after the fight to know."
The corner of Huang Xue Yege's mouth twitched:
"It turned out to be hard to say."
"But... Season's side must have been full of energy, right?"
…
The draw and grouping ceremony for the quarter-finals ended. When the players and players of each team followed their coaches and leaders to leave the field and return to the hotel, members of the Legend and Season teams met by chance at the entrance of the gymnasium.
Phoenix came over and said hello to Autumn:
"Your luck is not very good."
It's such a schadenfreude joke.
Autumn glanced back at the old rival:
"You are lucky."
indeed.
The two teams also advanced from Group B, but at this stage of the quarter-finals, the luck of drawing lots is really different.
A fast water team that was drawn to the bottom of the top eight on paper.
The other is to draw SSK, which is recognized as the strongest in the world.
With an unstoppable smile on Phoenix's face:
"yes."
"For us, there is probably no better signing than this one."
Autumn said with a calm expression:
"Don't be too happy too soon."
"Even if it is the third seed of the LPL, if you are not careful, you may not suffer a big loss."
Phoenix showed a somewhat solemn look:
"certainly."
"A team that can reach the top eight will be weak."
"Our goal at Legend is more than that. Of course, we will go all out in this battle."
However, talking about the first Dharma King in Europe, he changed the conversation and laughed again: "But if you are Season, you probably don't need someone to warn you—you can't do it if you don't work hard."
Autumn nodded:
"It's about working hard."
Phoenix smiled restrained: "There must be something wrong with that guy F, don't be careless."
Although it was said earlier that there is no need to remind, but at this time, the single captain of the Legend team still made his own warning.
"You're really attentive." Autumn glanced at the old rival in front of him again.
Phoenix shrugged:
"Of course, if I have a choice, I'd rather play with you Seasons than against SSK in the semi-finals or the final."
Autumn looked indifferent:
"rest assured."
"According to the schedule, we should advance to the semi-finals faster than you."
Phoenix raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, it seems that you are very confident."
Autumn showed a rare smile:
"If you don't even have this confidence."
"Don't play any finals, right?"
