In the match against Death, the final MVP was once again given to Jing Yu.

This time, Jing Yu had learned his lesson. Facing the host's interview, he responded in Chinese.

Regarding this, some people let out a sigh of relief, while others sighed in pity.

After his interview ended, PG's members packed up and returned to the hotel to rest.

Before lunch, they once again gathered in Fang Luofan's room.

"After the group stage, the 16 teams will be reduced to 8 teams and will compete in pairs.

In other words, no matter how you perform in the knockout stage, you will all be in the top 8 of the world. Are you happy? "

Fang Luofan's tone was very relaxed, but this didn't mean that he felt that the top 8 of the world was PG's final destination: "I've watched the matches of the eight teams. Since there's still time, I'll help you analyze each team's style and playstyle. However, whether you can remember it or not, that's up to you."

The five of them all agreed.

Thus, Fang Luofan continued: "I won't say much about BAL.C. You've fought them so many times, you might know them better than I do. However, the chances of you being matched against them in the first round of the knockout stage are very small.

Death has just fought against you, so it's impossible for you to be matched against them so quickly.

So, let's not talk about these two teams for now. I'll talk about the other five teams — — "

Fang Luofan analyzed the other five teams in one breath, and then let the five of them go for lunch.

At 1 pm, the first round of the knockout stage officially began.

PG's five players returned to the competition room and adjusted their equipment. After entering the room and clicking on the button to prepare, they began a long and tense wait.

After a period of silence, Ye Hong decided to speak up to ease the atmosphere: "I hope that our next opponents will cry from our handsomeness and directly surrender."

Qin Fei didn't give him any face: "In your dreams?"

Ye Hong glanced at him: "Anything is possible, okay?"

"But you're too ridiculous." Han Leng replied. Then, he said, "With your looks, who do you want to cry from your handsomeness?"

"Pfft — — Hahahahaha!" Luo Yiming couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ye Hong's face darkened.

Jing Yu couldn't help but laugh.

He was already used to PG's teammates teasing each other.

However, it had to be said that with Ye Hong's interference, the atmosphere in the PG team became much more relaxed. So much so that when the name of the enemy team appeared on the screen, their hearts did not waver at all. They even felt like laughing?

Luo Yiming: "VSEVEN?

Why not call it V5? "

Ye Hong: "Erm … This is a team from Country B. They can't get the point of a 1v5."

Yes, the opponent for the first round of the PG elimination round was VSEVEN from country B.

Jing Yu immediately went through all the information about this team in his mind. "The coach said that this is a very nimble and even a little weird team. They're comparable to SKR."

Ye Hong: "It's good to cause trouble. We like to cause trouble too ~"

Jing Yu: "Hey!"

To be more precise, SKR 1's style was flexible and varied, while v7's style was strange. Both teams seemed to like to stir up trouble, but their nature was completely different.

SKR.1's intention to stir up trouble was ultimately to win.

V7, on the other hand, stirred up trouble for the sake of stirring up trouble.

After the game started, both teams rolled the dice to determine their sides.

This time, Lady Luck did not side with PG, so v7 got the blue team first.

PG could only patiently wait for v7 to pick the first ban position.

Ye Hong: "Is it a good thing that we're playing v7 in the first round?"

Qin Fei: "What do you mean?"

Ye Hong: "Think about it, v7's style is different from other teams. To put it bluntly, it's messy.

Against such a messy team, it doesn't matter how much preparation you do in advance because you don't know what kind of lineup they'll use or what kind of tactics they'll use against us.

If we're playing against them in the first round, it means that we'll have more and more information about our opponents in the next few rounds. "

Qin Fei sneered. "I know what you mean. But there's a prerequisite. We have to beat them before we can move on to the next opponent."

While they were talking, v7 picked the first ban position, Immortal.

Seeing this ban position, everyone, including PG's five players, was stunned. They took the initiative to ban Immortal?

Country M's commentator: [v7 gave the first ban position to Immortal. This is too strange!

They took the initiative and clearly had the opportunity to steal Immortal.

Even if they didn't plan to steal it, they could have given the ban position to them.]

After being stunned for a moment, Jing Yu said calmly, "God of the Realm, wait. Let's ban one of them first and see how things go … Wanmie Liuhuo."

And so, PG banned Wanmie Liuhuo.

Vseven's second ban position didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even think about it before banning Realm God.

This … they took the initiative to ban two strong teams. What was this team trying to do?

Qin Fei suddenly laughed. "This team is very interesting."

Jing Yu tilted his head. He didn't understand what was so interesting about it.

As if he knew what Jing Yu was thinking, Qin Fei patiently explained, "They ban so casually without any pressure. It's like they don't care what the people think of them."

"Huh?" Jing Yu still didn't understand.

Qin Fei looked at him helplessly. "I want to say — they're not representing the country, but representing themselves."

Ye Hong: "Wow, it sounds so easy and free."

Qin Fei: "That's good.

It's a competition. Just enjoy it. What's the point of bearing so much pressure?

Sometimes, too much pressure makes it worse. "

Jing Yu: "So what should we ban in the second position?"

Qin Fei: "Flower In The Mirror."

Ever since a new group of demons appeared, Flower In The Mirror's presence had become stronger and stronger.

She could achieve a very terrifying effect when cooperating with many demons.

Therefore, to a certain extent, this demon was even more difficult to deal with than the Undying. If they could ban it, they had to ban it.

Jing Yu never doubted Qin Fei's judgment. He decisively banned Flower In The Mirror.

Finally, it was the last two positions for both teams.

This time, vseven hesitated for a while before finally choosing Nine-Tailed Fox.

Ye Hong couldn't believe his eyes. "They didn't ban Plunder Shadow?!"

Jing Yu was also very surprised, but he didn't say anything.

Han Leng: "Not only did they not ban Plunder Shadow, they didn't ban any jungler!

Is this team's jungler very strong? "

Luo Yiming: "They didn't know about us for no reason, right?"

This was very likely. After all, there were eight teams that had advanced to the knockout stage. Not every team had enough time to understand all of their possible opponents.

However, Ye Hong didn't agree. "If they really didn't know anything about us, why would they ban Nine-Tailed Fox?"

It had to be known that although Nine-Tailed Fox was very strong when used well, her skills were difficult to use and she was easy to die. Therefore, most players stayed away from her.

In a situation where they didn't know anything about a team, the possibility of banning Nine-Tailed Fox was close to zero.

Luo Yiming shrugged. "Then I don't know."

In the end, it was still Jing Yu who made the decision. "The last position, ban Sword Burial."

Vseven was such a "messy" team. It was possible that they would take Sword Burial. Just in case, they had to ban it.

Just like that, the six positions were decided and they entered the pick round.

Vseven's first position, Plunder Shadow!

Everyone:!!!

At that moment, the scene of them being killed by Plunder Shadow flashed through everyone's mind. Therefore, the gaming room was eerily silent for a second.

Then, Jing Yu and Ye Hong both targeted Moonshade Spider and Soul. No matter how good their opponents were at Plunder Shadow, at least they got the core composition to control One Wave Rush. They were slightly relieved.

Then, vseven's second and third positions were targeted Flower Petal Of Datura and Bladeless Death.

PG:???

Jing Yu really didn't understand.

What did three Assassins mean?

Who was the jungler?

Country M's commentator was also shocked by vseven's lineup. [Three Assassins?

This is the first time I've seen such a lineup. I don't know what vseven is trying to do.]

Jing Yu: "It doesn't matter. We'll take our own.

Lilith and Dark Cupid, any problems? "

Qin Fei: "Yes."

Luo Yiming: "Okay!

I want Dark Cupid! "

Then, vseven's last two positions — Sarrier and Maha.

Was this finally normal?

But this couldn't hide the fact that they had taken three Assassins.

Jing Yu braced himself and said, "Brother Han, let's take Mermaid this round to protect us."

Han Leng: "I think so too. Mermaid is safer.

The opponent's lineup is really making me panic. "

At this point, the two sides' lineups were decided:

Pg: Lilith, Soul, Dark Cupid, Mermaid, Moonshade Spider

Vseven: Flower Petal Of Datura, Plunder Shadow, Bladeless Death, Sarrier, Maha

Then, the moment the two sides were about to enter the battlefield, everyone watched as vseven's Maha changed Sprite Commandeering to Retribution.

It was simply crazy.

For a moment, Ye Hong felt like he was dreaming and not playing a game. "The Assassin isn't fighting in the jungle, but the Archer is fighting in the jungle?

I must be dreaming, I must be … "

Then, Luo Yiming, who was beside him, pinched his thigh hard. He cried out in pain and almost jumped out of his chair.

Luo Yiming retracted his hand and said seriously, "Looks like it's not a dream."

Han Leng shrugged. "Who cares what lineup they have? Just fight."

Qin Fei: "That's what I mean."

"But with this lineup …" Jing Yu sighed and said sadly, "I don't dare to fight in the jungle."

If they were discovered by the opponent, they would probably be chased all over the map …
