It's finally Saturday.
The sixteenth knockout round officially begins.
On this day, the competition venue was changed to a larger venue, which can accommodate 800 people. There is a circular arena in the middle, with three giant LCD viewing screens hanging from the top to ensure that there are no mistakes in the wonderful pictures of the competition. .
Similarly, this is one of the venues where the LSPL and even the LPL regular season were held before.
Coming here, it makes people feel a little bit of the real atmosphere of professional e-sports, and people's mood can't help but start to agitate.
As if the blood was starting to boil.
Yes.
That's what it feels like.
The top 16 moves forward two rounds, and they are only the last two steps away from the real professional competition.
The winner can become a real LSPL professional team, while the loser can only be eliminated and left.
In this round, the remaining top 16 teams are almost all coming for the final professional team spot, no one will give up easily, no matter how strong the opponents drawn by their respective groups are, they will never be shaken. To the belief and determination of the players of each team to win.
The first group of battles in the morning started with the TO team.
BO5.
TO's opponent is the top-seeded team from the Hebei Division. Its strength ranks tenth in the national competition list, and it is by no means an underdog.
The two teams fought until the fourth game. In the end, when the game time reached the 36th minute, the TO team finally won a big dragon team battle. Destroy the opponent's base crystal.
In the end, with a score of 3 to 1, they won the first place in the quarterfinals.
Although it won, people have already seen that it was not easy for the TO team to win. Although it was one of the old three, after all, the players and players are still only newcomers, and their experience and cooperation are still not directly comparable to today's. On a par with the first-line professional teams—
The opponent he encountered was a top semi-professional team, and he almost fell into a difficult battle.
And that's only the top sixteen.
In the next round, in the quarter-finals, the strength of the opponents they meet will go to a higher level. Whether the TO team can continue to advance smoothly, but it will leave a bit of suspense.
From the afternoon to the evening, the second, third and fourth groups of BO5 battles were played in succession.
The King's Landing and Hydralisks were placed in the third group.
This group...
It can be regarded as a real strong duel. The No. 1 seed and No. 2 seed in the Imperial Capital Division, even if the No. 2 seed Hydralisks are placed in other divisions, they will be able to secure the top spot.
One would expect to see at least a set of exciting and intense battles, and maybe even five games of intense stalemate.
but-
Unexpected yet reasonable.
The King's Landing team won the victory, and the score was 3-0.
It's not that the Hydralisk team is too weak, but it is indeed because King's Landing's overall combat power is stronger - in addition, the two teams have played against each other too many times, and King's Landing has already thoroughly studied the routine of the Hydralisk.
When the two teams fight, there is no suspense at all. Even if the Hydralisk is determined to resist, most of the tricks and routines have long been expected and prepared by the King's Landing team.
"such a pity-"
"This is really cured so that I don't have any temper at all."
"If it were any other opponent, even if the Hydralisk couldn't beat it, it would be impossible for this situation to have its head shaved."
This is the evaluation given by several official commentators at the scene when they were talking and discussing.
Yes.
Starting from the round of 16, there was finally a specially established official commentator on the scene. Before that, he was responsible for the commentary work of various professional official events. Now, to comment on the LSPL trials is considered "condescending" - but it can also be seen that the official comments on The importance of this selection.
Su Xue, the current official female commentator of LSPL, was originally on this list, but her commentary work was scheduled for tomorrow, and she was in charge of the other four groups.
According to what Su Xue told Lin Feng, this was also her special request.
In order to be able to personally explain the group of BO5s to someone.
Lin Feng and several others from the Demon City's final victory team also came to the scene. They trained in the Internet cafe in the morning, and made a special trip to see the match between King's Landing and Hydralisks when the afternoon was approaching the evening.
On the one hand, it can be regarded as cheering for the King's Landing team that I just met recently.
On the other hand, it is also an opponent that may be encountered after observing this.
After all, it is the top of the national competition list.
Its comprehensive combat power may even be slightly stronger than that of the Jiutian team.
If you want to say that in this LSPL trial, the one that may pose the greatest threat to the decisive team of all teams in the Devil's City, it should be the King's Landing led by the overlord.
A set of BO5 to watch.
The expressions of several people in the Demon City Victory Team couldn't help being slightly awe-inspiring.
Even though they are now more focused on this round of the match against the decisive team in Xiamen City, they have to admit that this King's Landing team is indeed extraordinary.
It can even be said that perhaps this is the most terrifying one among so many top semi-professional teams they have played in so many different games.
"It is indeed beyond the semi-professional level."
Zeng Rui said in a low voice.
Li Shiyi next to him nodded slowly:
"Most LSPL teams may not be able to beat them."
The third group's game was over, and it was almost time for dinner. The fourth group's BO5 was put in the evening, so both the players and the audience had time to have dinner and rest.
Lin Feng and others from the Demon City Victory Team are also preparing to leave. There is no need to watch the last group. They can go back to the Internet cafe to continue training when they have time.
The members of the King's Landing team who had just won the promotion also came over at this time.
As soon as he saw Lin Feng and the others, Bawang approached him with great enthusiasm and said hello:
"Hey!"
"Are you gone?"
Several people nodded and smiled to congratulate Bawang, Yu Ping and the other King's Landing players. Bawang waved his hands carelessly:
"Hey, little things, little things."
"It's just a hydralisk, you can win casually, there's no pressure."
Chen Ting couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth:
"It probably wouldn't be funny for the Hydralisks to hear it."
After all, it is also the second seed in the Imperial Capital Division, ranking among the top ten in the combat power list. When it comes to Overlord's mouth, it is like a soft persimmon.
Overlord is still indifferent:
"Anyway, they are not our opponents."
After speaking, he looked at Lin Feng again:
"Hey, how are you getting ready?"
"Tomorrow's last team, right? It's a good fight. I've thought about it. I'm more interested in playing two moves with you than with the Xiacheng team."
This is also a way of cheering and encouraging that belongs to Overlord.
Lin Feng smiled:
"Um."
"Then just wait."
