There was a reason why everyone thought Group D was the Group of Death.
On one hand, the four teams in this group all possessed incredible strength. If they were not assigned to the same group, each team could have made it to the semifinals or even the finals.
On the other hand, it was difficult to determine the specific strengths and weaknesses of these four teams. No matter which two teams met, there would always be suspense in the outcome, causing the situation of this group to be even more confusing.
Let's not talk about the first point for now. The second point had already been confirmed at this moment.
The plot was indeed full of ups and downs and unexpected.
In the first match of Group D, no one had expected such an outcome. Initially, Team God and Team Hitman, who were thought to be on par with each other, had clashed for less than 28 minutes. Yet, Team God had triumphed in their first victory.
Subconsciously, people thought that the unexpected loss in the first match would be a blow to Team Assassin's condition and morale. Their next match was against Team Fate, the second seeded team in the Korean region. It might be even more worrisome —
But unexpectedly.
Team Assassin, who had lost the first match, immediately went up against Team Fate. But they had adjusted their condition perfectly. Facing the second seeded team in Korea, Team Moon, who had one of the Four Emperors, Team Assassin, Team Assassin fought to the end of the match for nearly 40 minutes. Then they won the first match of the finals in a domineering manner that shocked the entire audience.
The audience couldn't help but stare at it in shock —
The first two matches of Group D had both exceeded their expectations.
Both matches had brought them huge surprises and shocks.
But then the audience came back to their senses, and their hearts suddenly burned with passion.
Damn it, what nonsense were they thinking?
Unexpected matches …
Wasn't that a good match!
What they wanted was this kind of unexpected shock and surprise. They wanted this kind of ups and downs. This was what they wanted to see!
And these were only the first two matches of Group D, there were still ten matches left.
The opening was already so exciting and exciting.
Then after that …
It was even more exciting!
As a result, the audience burst into cheers and applause once again, mixed with excited whistles, and the atmosphere in the entire stadium seemed to have suddenly become even hotter.
However, it was a pity that it was already noon at this moment.
The four group matches in the morning were over.
It was halftime again.
"Let's go, let's go ~" Someone in the front row was the first to stand up excitedly. It was as if he didn't care about the exciting duels on the field at all, and the only thing on his mind was the problem of food and clothing. "Let's go eat!"
…
During lunch, everyone from LPL gathered together again.
Everyone was in a good mood when they talked about this morning's competition, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed and joyful.
"Sigh, really. The LMS region isn't doing too well this year."
"Apart from Old 13's Assassin, the remaining second seed really gives me the feeling that the two big brothers from the wild card competition zone are almost the same."
Shi Hang used his chopsticks to eat his lunch box while stuffing food into his mouth. He expressed his thoughts in a muffled voice.
Beside him, Huangxue Nightsong cast a sidelong glance at him.
"Eat your lunch. Don't act like you've got the advantage …"
Indeed, although both God and Quick Water had successfully won their first match in the morning, Quick Water's victory was much easier than God's in terms of difficulty.
There was a huge gap between the strength of the two teams in the LMS region, Thunderbolt and Assassin.
Morning Star also nodded slightly.
"Yes."
"The match against Assassin … it looked like it was easy to win, but in fact, it was much more difficult than you think."
That was the truth.
Perhaps for the audience in the stadium, they only saw a match that ended in 28 minutes. However, only the main players of God, who directly fought against Assassin on the field, could personally feel the strength of their opponent.
"If it wasn't for Ah Xing's smooth development in the mid lane, and his perfect first move in the second wave of Fire Dragon in the middle of the game, we might not have been able to pick up the pace —"
Huangxue Nightsong added, "Ol 'Thirteen brought out Olaf. The pressure in the early and middle stages was really terrifying."
There was a hint of lingering fear in his tone. It seemed that the wild Berserker against Nian Thirteen in the morning had left a deep impression on him.
However, Shi Hang only gave him a disdainful look.
"No matter what, you guys won in the end anyway."
"Isn't praising Assassin to the sky a better display of God's awesomeness?"
The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard that.
Tian Tian nodded in agreement and said sincerely,
"Yes."
"Ah Xing, your condition today is even better than during the mock competition."
Morning Star smiled helplessly. "It's an official competition after all, and we've been assigned to this group. We can't afford to be careless in every match. We have to give it our all to ensure victory. We still have a tough match in the afternoon."
When he heard this, Lin Feng, who had been focused on eating his boxed meal with relish, raised his head and looked at him.
"Who's your next opponent?"
Huangxue Nightsong sighed.
“Minx。”
Oh —
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Minx。
"It's not going to be easy," Ceng Rui lamented.
Indeed, among the other three teams in Group D, Minx, the third seeded team in the Korean region, was probably the most threatening opponent for God.
Although they were a rookie team, they had two core players, the top and mid laner. Any one of them alone could be the soul of a strong C position in any other top team.
Although God and Minx had fought against each other during the previous training matches, and God had managed to win that match, there was some element of luck involved in that victory.
At that time, The-Sword's solo Ike was almost unbeatable. It was all thanks to Snowy Nightsong's ADC, Policewoman's incredible play and some luck that they managed to win that crucial team battle.
But that didn't mean that God had found an effective way to deal with Minx, the ace of the top laner.
Besides —
"Logically speaking, the mid laner Fly must have underestimated Ah Xing in the previous match."
Li Shiyi commented.
Everyone nodded.
Indeed.
Although in that match, Fly's rhythm was firmly suppressed by Morning Star in the middle lane, it was also because Morning Star had underestimated Gao Peng and lost the initiative. If Fly had learned his lesson when the two teams met again in the afternoon, the pressure Morning Star would have to bear in the middle lane would not be easy.
Shi Hang looked to his left and right and smiled.
"Hey, everyone, let's do our best!
"No matter who the opponent is, we have to win!"
Huangxue Nightsong glared at him again.
"Don't you feel embarrassed when you say that?"
Yes.
In the afternoon, Team God was going up against a formidable opponent like Minx. Although they also had a match to play in the afternoon, Team Rapid Water's opponent … was just a wild card big brother.
In comparison, the difficulty and pressure could not be mentioned in the same breath.
