Moba: Me! I wanted to quietly gain points, but was broadcast live on the Internet

The 2017 World Championship Qualifiers were held at the Wuhan Sports Center.

It was the same place as the group stage.

However, the Qualifiers are definitely not on the same level as the group stage in terms of quality or attention.

There were no Qualifiers before S7, but there were also qualifiers for the bubble match, which was actually the same as the Qualifiers.

IG originally thought that this year's Qualifiers would be similar to previous years, and even if the attention was high, it would not be too outrageous.

But when they arrived at the entrance of the Wuhan Sports Center, they knew they were wrong.

People, all people!

Too many.

In the large square outside the Wuhan Sports Center, the game had not started yet, but countless spectators and fans had already gathered together.

Among these people, the yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese G people were the most, but there were also some foreigners with blue eyes and yellow hair.

There were also some weird Eastern European faces...

At first glance, the atmosphere of the big competition hit you in the face... There is no need to lay the groundwork, just look at these spectators from all over the world, and you will know how important the S game is.

"Oh my god, is this the qualifying round?"A Shui, who came with the team, was very surprised.

When did the qualifying round become so popular?

"It should be related to being held in ZhongG."Su Xiaoluo guessed.

In fact, there is no need to guess. Rather than saying that it has something to do with the fact that this year's World Finals was held in ZhongG, it is better to say that it has something to do with IG's advancement to the qualifying round... Even if IG's previous record was poor and their international competition experience was limited, they had become the third seed of LPL after all.

From that moment on, it was not just the few fans of IG who supported them, but more importantly, the audience of the entire LPL!

"Wow, this makes me feel stressed."Ning Mazi pretended to say this, and everyone laughed, but they really felt stressed in their hearts.

After all... in the current configuration of this IG, except for Rookie, no one has ever played in an international competition before.

Not the S game, but all international competitions, and he can't even touch the edge!

And Rookie?

The only brilliant record is the surrender in the round of 16 of S5...

This is why the outside world doesn't trust them in their hearts after seeing IG advance.

Because... if you want others to trust you, at least you have to have a record and resume, right?

And IG's resume... let's not talk about it!

Everyone is a young lady getting married. For the first time, with a nervous and uneasy mood, they entered the Wuhan Sports Center together and began their first preparation for the S game in their careers.

Time passed, and when the time came to two o'clock in the afternoon, the 2017 World Finals Qualifiers officially began.

After a slightly perfunctory opening ceremony, IG played against LYN in the first game.

LYN is the champion of northern Latin America, and is also nicknamed the Little Cheetah Team by everyone, but its strength is indeed a bit lacking.

Bai Qiu started IG's S-League debut, and the process went very smoothly, with the game over in 25 minutes.

So far, IG represented the LPL region and got off to a good start in S7! After the game, the LPL audience sang and cheered, and their opinion of IG changed a lot.

The game continued in the next few days.

The rules of the qualifying group stage are a double round-robin BO1 within the group, which means that IG will play a total of four games in the group stage, excluding extra games.

On the second day, Duke came on the court to face GMB.

Before the game, everyone thought that this game would be as easy to crush as yesterday, but unexpectedly, an accident happened.

The main reason was that the GMB team did not do what everyone thought. IG is not as weak as the other wildcards. The name of this team is unfamiliar, but if we talk about ANX, the dark horse team in the quarterfinals of S6 last year, with a long-haired support player who looks like a woman, everyone should be familiar with it.

And this year's GMB defeated ANX and advanced to the global finals.

So the strength of this team is actually not as good as other wildcards, and their style is very reckless, with no operational skills at all, just reckless.

Unfortunately, IG had limited information before, and it was their first time playing in the S game, so they were afraid of losing. After the disadvantage in the early stage, their mentality was wrong. Later, they were unexpectedly defeated by GMB.

Now, the country was completely blown up!

IG actually lost!

Lost to a team like GMB that no one had even heard of...

For a while, before the game was completely over, IG was directly sprayed on the hot search list at the speed of light.

It came directly to the third place, with millions of popularity.

It was even higher than when they advanced to the S game!

It's outrageous. After the start of S7, the popularity has reached this level!

"IG, that’s it?"

"It's really not as good as WE. They lost to a wild card team whose name they had never heard of.…"

"What annoys me most is this kind of situation where someone else is not as good as you. Why don’t you ask why WE lost?"

"Oh my god, this game made me almost vomit blood. Are IG playing snake?"

"This mid laner made me laugh to death. His mentality went wrong when he got to a big competition. What kind of profession can he play with this mentality?"

Various voices followed one after another.

Cursing, contempt, and disappointment...

In this game that IG lost due to carelessness, the cruel side of e-sports was revealed.

If you win, you are a god. If you lose, even your breathing is wrong.

After the game, the IG players were like being hit on the head. They lost the enthusiasm of the first day. No one dared to look at the audience who came to cheer for them.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the S game, IG followed suit and confiscated the mobile phones of the players, just like EDG and other teams.

Otherwise... seeing the horrible public opinion attacks on the Internet, with IG's current mentality, it is really possible for them to enter the top 28 of the play-in tournament and go home.

Thinking of this consequence, Su Xiaoluo was completely numb.

No, this can't go on.

In the evening, while everyone was discussing, Su Xiaoluo made an important decision

"After that, Xiaoqiu was replaced in the starting lineup."Su Xiaoluo looked at everyone and said,"Although Xiaoqiu didn't play many games and didn't have much experience, I found that when he was on the court, everyone's mentality was very stable, so we must make changes!"

On the one hand, Duke's performance in the second game was not good, and Baiqiu's previous performances made the IG club, which originally wanted to rotate to the end, change its mind.

"I'm fine." Duke shook his head. He always looked like a good boy who worked hard. He did whatever the club asked him to do.

This state was good, but also bad.

"Okay, then we'll play against GMB tomorrow, Xiaoqiu will be the first player."

Su Xiaoluo patted Bai Qiu on the shoulder and promised:"Just do your best, you've seen how popular S7 is, this is just the qualifying round... I think... everyone doesn't think this will be our end, right?"

——

The next day, the third day of the group stage of the play-in tournament, the entire play-in tournament has been held for more than half.

IG went to the competition venue together.

This time, Bai Qiu will become the real starter of IG.

A legendary player who changed the historical status of the top laner began to rise from here.

The grand stage is ready, waiting for the stars to appear.
