Chapter 2309 Knockout Round Draw

Lin Cheng's arrival made the fans in the pop-up store excited. Customers who originally only planned to buy models and photo cards all spent money to buy team uniforms or hats for Lin Cheng to sign.

Someone becomes a ruthless signing machine.

"I'm not telling you, there's no point in buying these now."

"Brother, don't buy it!"

"The team uniforms in the store only have two stars. The new uniforms after the World Championships in a month will have three stars. If you buy them now, you will lose money."

Lin Cheng kept trying to stop the fans' enthusiasm, but to no avail.

The big screen in the store showed videos of the KT team’s evil spirits.

Seeing scenes of Mr. Kang repeatedly rolling down the stairs and falling into pieces on the stage, Lin Cheng laughed along with the fans.

Then in the blink of an eye, he saw that he had become a material for evildoers. Lin Cheng immediately turned his face down and shouted to turn off the TV.

Fans continued to laugh.

The atmosphere was extremely lively.

After staying in the pop-up shop for nearly two hours, Lin Cheng and Chi Shengxi went to 36th Street next to Fifth Avenue to eat hot pot.

Familiar Chinese, nostalgic aroma of hot pot.

The two asked for a seat by the window and ordered their meal. Chi Shengxi looked around curiously, trying to find out what the difference was between Lin Cheng's so-called authentic hotpot and Haidilao.

Haidilao is very famous overseas, but it seems that it can’t even compare to the authentic Sichuan hot pot in the mouths of Sichuan people.

The waiter brought the bottom of the pot. Lin Cheng chose the red soup pot. A delicate little bear sat in the center of the pot. The waiter added water and slowly covered the bear.

Chi Shengxi was curious: "What is this little bear for?"

Lin Cheng joked: "The bear meat pot base made from wild bears is high-end, right?"

Chi Shengxi was too lazy to pay attention to him. He asked the waiter in English and found out that it was a bear made of butter. Because it was too delicate and cute, it often made the children who came to the store feel sad when it was transformed.

As soon as the bottom of the pot melted, the aroma of green peppercorns hit his face. As soon as the first mouthful of steamed tripe entered his mouth, Lin Cheng knew he had come to the right place.

fragrant! hot! numb!

The essence of the Sichuan red soup pot is all there.

Although it was only moderately spicy, Lin Cheng felt like he was getting sick after eating it for a while.

Chi Shengxi's cheeks turned red from the heat, "Wow! It's so spicy! Lin Cheng, don't you think so?"

"It's not spicy! It's okay."

Lin Cheng kept talking nonsense with his eyes open, and his nose was sweating.

"Sister, I really think it's so spicy! It's much spicier than turkey noodles. It's almost crazy."

Lin Cheng smiled so calmly that he secretly opened his mouth and inhaled wildly.

After all, the hot pot is hot all the way to your mouth. Even if it is not the spiciest level, it is still much stronger than the industrial spiciness of turkey noodles.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, Chi Shengxi felt a little dazed by the heat.

She stuck out her tongue slightly, raised her chopsticks and stared blankly at the bottom of the boiling pot, looking hesitant as if she wanted to eat but didn't dare.

Not to mention, Sister Sheng Xi with flushed cheeks looks particularly alluring like this.

All he needs is a pair of glasses.

Seeing Sister Sheng Xi's red lips slightly open and continuing to look dazed, Lin Cheng suddenly had a very perverted thought:

If she was bitten by Sister Sheng Xi like this, Lin Xiaocheng would have to scrap it, right?

Eh~~~ It’s so perverted!

After finishing the hot pot, the two of them went to the coffee shop and sat there for a long time before they recovered.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, they went to the Hulu Theater in Madison Square Garden to watch the game, preparing to support Peanut and Super Power live.

The two were in the front row and were immediately arrested by the director.

Lin Cheng smiled and waved to the camera.

"Brother Orange!" catch! 》

"Is Brother Chengzi here to support 369 today?" What a father’s love! 》

"Now Chengyi is Zeus, 369 must defeat Zeus first"

"Obviously Cheng is here to support peanut butter"

"Brother Cheng, stop laughing!" That’s how you sent Tao Bo away with a smile like this yesterday”

"Next to me is Mr. Chi! Mr. Chi who wears a mask is horny》

"Today is the director of the professional attire pool! So beautiful (love)"

"Sister Sheng Xi, stand up and give the director a pat on the leg (funny)"

"Brother Chengzi is secretly dating Mr. Chi again, be careful of Mrs. Cheng coming to catch him (dog head)"

After experiencing Brother Taobo's trouble yesterday, there was no big upset on the last day of the group stage.

Although the GEN·G team always suffers from foreign competitions, its lower limit is actually quite stable. As long as it does not play against LPL teams and G2 in the past two years, there is basically no problem.

They even defeated JD.com in today's game, and in the end they were only one step away from advancing to second place in the group.

In this way, all eight teams that advanced to the knockout rounds were born.

Group A: KT EDG

Group B: T1 RNG

Group C: RGE DK

Group D: JDG GEN·G

Next came the knockout draw, but Lin Cheng and Chi Shengxi were not in a hurry to leave.

The guest of the draw is Riot’s veteran commentator Phreak. This guy has been complaining about Riot’s game balance issues for many years. Next year, he will officially serve as Riot’s game balance-related designer.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon, and next year it will be someone else's turn to criticize him.

The balance of LOL will always be criticized no matter what. There has never been a good ending for a Riot designer. The public opinion of this guy in the future will obviously not be much better.

The first was the draw for the No. 1 seed. Phreak drew JD.com first.

Next, when he drew the second ball, his hands shook. He broke the ball and dropped the note inside.

"Wow! I seem to have drawn an amazing team."

Bending over to pick up the note, Phreak opened it and showed the content.

"KT!"

The on-site director pointed the camera at Lin Cheng in the audience with deep meaning.

"It's over! JD.com and KT are in the same half zone!"

"369 is going to go home in the semifinals again?"

"Fuck! If JD.com is eliminated by KT in advance, LPL will really have no chance this time"

"It's all blamed on Topsports. JD.com is the only hope now"

"At least LPL can make it to the finals. I don't want to watch the LCK civil war"

"KT's sign fell to the ground just now. Is it hinting at something? "

"KT fell! (Doghead)"

"Superman, kill Orange Brother for me! This year"

With JD.com and KT drawn in the same half zone, T1 and RGE behind them are in the other half zone.

The next focus is the second seed pool, which will directly determine the quarterfinals matchup.

The first one to be drawn from the second seed pool is DK, who will be JD.com's opponent in the quarterfinals.

The second team to be drawn is GEN· G. Due to the half-zone avoidance principle with JD.com, GEN· G automatically moved back to the lower zone and became T1's opponent.

According to the half-zone avoidance, the only two teams left in the second seed pool have actually determined their positions.

In the end, the situation of the quarterfinals is as follows:

Upper zone: JDG vs DK KT vs RNG

Lower zone: T1 vs GEN· G RGE vs EDG

"It's okay, except that RNG is a bit unlucky, LPL is generally good"

"Anyway, if JD.com wants to win the championship, it must get past KT"

"Looking at it this way, EDG is actually the team with the highest chance of entering the finals among the three LPL teams"

"Good draw! EDG is really lucky to pick up the weakest No. 1 seed"

"What a coincidence, Rouge also thinks so (funny)"

"Rouge just sent Top Esports away, EDG, what are you pretending to be? 》

《Ma Lang saw EDG automatically trigger the younger brother BUFF, and vowed to bring down divine punishment for Brother Orange》

《Ma Lang: I want to help Lin Cheng clear all enemies (gritting teeth)》

《Robot pigeons are actually very weak, and they can never beat EDG》

《We all understand the truth, but when faced with such weak robot pigeons... where is Top Esports? 》
