After all, it was already the second round of the group knockout rounds. The schedule was very tight, so the time for post-match interviews was also very limited.
The post-match interview did not take up too much time and ended in a few minutes.
Su Jiu and the factory manager quickly returned to their team's lounge. After a short break, they soon appeared in the competition booth again for the last match of the day.
Edg versus C9.
This was the last match of Group A's elimination round.
As of the start of this match, the current results of the four teams in Group A were:
SKT:4-2
EDG:3-2
C9:2-3
AHQ:2-4
To everyone's surprise, AHQ, who was initially considered the strongest dark horse at the start of the match, had a high start and a low run. In the second round of the knockout round, they suffered three consecutive losses and became the first team to be eliminated in Group A with a score of 2-4.
Now, the result of the match between the two teams would completely affect the advancement of the entire Group A.
If C9 won this match, then they would be tied 3-3 at the same time as the other two teams. Then, there would be another tiebreaker. Whoever won would become the second in the group and advance with SKT.
On the contrary, if the match ended with a score of 4-2, C9 would be eliminated and SKT would advance to the next round.
Moreover, since they both had the same score of 4-2, SKT and Edg would also have to play an extra match to determine who would be the first in the group.
It could be said that no matter who won or lost this match, there would definitely be an additional match in the end.
As such, the match was about to begin. Other than the members of Edg and C9 who were already actively preparing for the match, the members of SKT were also watching the match from the lounge.
For this final group match, there were no changes to C9 and Edg.
Then, just as both teams began their final adjustments, the commentators received a notification from the officials.
In this round, C9 had the priority to choose the side, and C9 chose the red side.
When the two commentators from LCS NAC heard the news, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hey, LCS viewers, I have some good news for you. In the next match against the MDG, C9 has chosen the red side.”
In the LCS commentary booth, the black commentator let out an exaggerated sigh and continued.
"Oh my god, thank god. In this match, there's finally a team that's going to take the initiative to snatch the red team. If we let the other team take the red team and leave the fifth floor counter for Jo9, then this match will be too difficult for C9.”
The white commentator nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, after watching these few matches, I believe we have all been shocked by the top lane player of the squad, Jo9. In the situation where he got the Counter position, he used three different carry champions in the three matches. Lucian Ruiz and Yasuo were not the popular champions that everyone was familiar with, but he directly broke through the top lane in every match and rode on the top lane of the opposing team for three consecutive matches.
Oh my god, this kind of dominance is simply unbelievable. Jo9 is like a hungry wolf charging into a flock of sheep. What he needs to do is simply a one-sided massacre. He doesn't treat his opponent as a human at all.
C9 should have understood by now that the Hero Pool of Jo9 was too strange and there was no way to counter it. They would not be able to play if Jo9 got the Counter position, so they chose the red side. If I'm not wrong, their last Counter position would definitely be left to Impact.”
The black man nodded.
"Okay, we've already seen how invincible they were in the red team. Now that C9 has chosen the red team, I wonder what kind of response they will make. Let's look forward to it.”
Just as the commentators were filled with curiosity, it was time for the final match of Group A.
The blue side was the Edg, and the red side was the C9.
The first round of ban for both sides.
[ED G chose to ban Ezreal, Lefran, and Nightmare.]
C9 had chosen the Bans, Calista, Rexus, and Ritz.
The commentators were surprised to see the banned players from both sides.
Miller: " Well, C9 actually chose to ban Rexel and Rexel. It looks like they've already watched the two matches against SKT and AHQ. In order to prevent Rexel and Rexel from invading the jungle again, they might as well ban them.”
Doll: " But if that's the case, neither side has chosen to ban Xia Luo. Gallio is still here, and so is Piggy Prince. There are too many heroes released this time. It's up to both sides to choose."
If it was the previous game, I think it would be very likely that they would snatch Dusk or Piglet. After all, these two champions would have a high priority if they were to fight around the lower half of the server. However, the style of the current game has changed greatly. No one knows what they will do.”
The two commentators made tentative guesses and analyzed.
Then, in the next second, the first floor of the EdG was selected.
Huan Ling County, Luo County.
Seeing this, C9 naturally couldn't let the last player to get Dusk, so they chose to do it themselves.
In the second round, C9 took down the Support, Lulu.
When it was the turn of the team, two champions were confirmed.
The Colossus of Justice, Gallio.
Prince of Demacia, Gavin.
The first three players in the team were all heroes.
After seeing that the center jungler had been confirmed by the team, C9 was afraid that their jungler would be banned in the second round, so they chose Sister Pig as their jungler.
After that, both sides banned their players for the second round.
C9 chose to ban Lu Xi'an and Big Mouth.
[ED G chose ban: Shen, Maltaha.]
Then, C9's fourth move was confirmed to be Mid, Syndra.
In an instant, it was time for the final selection.
"Okay, the only ones left in the team are the AD and Top. Now that the blue team is playing, no matter what Top Jo9 chooses, it will definitely be Counter by Impact.”
The commentators were all curious.
As for what Iboy's ADC would choose, no one really cared.
Because after watching a few matches, the bottom lane of the team didn't have much of a presence, everyone subconsciously felt that the bottom lane didn't have much of an impact, so they started to subconsciously ignore it.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the fourth and fifth floor of the Edg finally confirmed their candidates.
On the fourth floor, Mai Lin Gunner, Tristana.
Fifth floor, Green Steel Shadow, Camille.
The ADC did not change, it was still the familiar Little Cannon. However, on the upper unit, the Green Steel Shadow that was chosen by the Edg was something that no one expected.
