The next day, after playing tsm, we won the first round of the group stage and ranked first.
At first, the boys were a little unconfident, not sure how their team could compete with the strong teams in the major competition regions.
Now that the group stage is over, they feel more or less confident.
There are no underdogs in the World Championship, this is how everyone really feels!
Not to mention the skt, g2, and tsm who were stunned by the coincidence, they can no longer be viewed with the stereotype of European and American gangsters, and fw and gam are also magical teams that can overturn if they are not careful.
The WE team in the previous life lost to TSM, SKT, and GAM in the first round of the group stage. The qualifying situation was extremely poor. It was not until the second round that we won completely and defeated the flourishing SKT.
The teams coached by homme seem to be a bit slow to get started. This is the case for we this year, and it will be the same for jd in the future.
"Play well in the second round! Try to win the group and qualify! Then we will have a day off and let's go to the beach party together!" The smile on Xiaoshou's face never disappeared, and he said happily to everyone.
SKT was upset in the first round, but it gave us a huge boost in popularity, and the little beast was naturally proud of it.
If we can double kill SKT and win the MSI championship, the little beast will be able to laugh even in his dreams.
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he saw a big blood-red word on the little beast's head: Danger!
In the previous life, after we finished the group stage, we took a day off to go to a beach party, and posted various photos on Weibo to attract fans. As a result, in the knockout round, g2, who was double-killed in the group stage, was sent away happily.
If you want to say how bloated it is, it’s not necessarily true. It’s just like being whipped to death after losing the game.
If you win the game, who will hold on to the beach party?
If you lose the game, even your breathing is wrong, everything you say is an excuse.
"Master Beast, let's go to the party after finishing the MSI! During the competition, we need to practice every day to maintain our feel and condition!" Xiye raised his hands like a primary school student.
"Master has emphasized many times that bo5 and bo1 are two completely different games. The intensity of the group stage and the knockout round are completely different! Our coaching staff needs time to prepare more things!" Ah Chi echoed.
"I also think it's better to keep a low profile. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if we lost the game?" 957 said, pushing up his glasses.
"Hurry up and play two more training games. I want to win the championship!" mystic expressed his position.
After hearing what everyone said, Kandi, who had originally thought of "beach, beauty, and bikini", was a little distracted.
"Coach, please say something! Mr. Beast has already expanded!" Kandi joked.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and looked at the group of people in front of him, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
The trajectory of history has already quietly changed.
Take the Glory Sword, find balance in chaos, it’s time to make a big profit!
"If you win this MSI championship, there will be a luxurious beach party, and all the expenses will be paid for by Beast EO!" Zhuge Liang patted the little beast on the shoulder and said with a chuckle.
……
As the group stage entered the second round, the competition between the major teams became more intense, and upsets sometimes occurred.
Anti-Korean Qixia fw scored a point from skt, the hot-tempered brother gam won a game with g2, and tsm and g2 fought to prove that na and eu were in love.
Only we maintained an undefeated streak and quietly ensured the first place in the group.
The last game of the group stage is still a duel between we and skt, just like a sturgeon ring.
Everyone is looking forward to this game, even if the outcome of this game will not affect the specific ranking and qualifying situation.
The commentators for this game were Zhuge Liang's "good brothers" in the dining hall, Wang Jiji and Senior Colonel Guan.
The two of them conducted some pre-match prediction and analysis before the BP started.
Remember: "Although we defeated skt in the first round, but speaking from conscience, skt was a little underestimating the opponent. In this game, even for the honor of the Triple Crown, skt will definitely use full firepower and give 100%
Focus!"
Senior Colonel Guan: "I also feel a little bit confused. Last time, thanks to my brother Liang's routine, kkoma succeeded, and he used Pan Sen to surprise and win. It is impossible to defeat kkoma twice with the same move. Unless we have some special tricks hidden this time,
Otherwise, we have to fight hard!"
Remember: "Then again, even if we lose this game, we will still be first in the group, and we will be divided into a group with fw in the knockout round. Everyone knows about the Bo5 of Lightning Wolf, it just smells bad. On the other side
skt will most likely win g2, and the final will still be a bo5 between we and skt."
Colonel Guan: "In other words, this game is likely to be a preview of the final, equivalent to a preliminary battle between the two sides before bo5. Whether you win or not is secondary. The key lies in how much intelligence can be collected to prepare for the final.
."
The words of the two commentators made the audience in the live broadcast room break into a cold sweat.
I'm afraid that this mysterious power from the East will be blessed by fw and g2, and they will overturn we and skt respectively. It will be fun when the two teams meet in the finals.
……
The competition enters the bp stage.
The bans for both sides are basically the same as those in the first round, except that the order of details is different due to the change of sides.
This also indirectly illustrates the point that the two teams have a certain overlap in the hero pool, especially the jungle position.
To the surprise of many viewers and commentators, SKT did not openly release Pan Sen, the super god who played a key role in the last round.
Zhuge Liang didn't find it strange. On the contrary, he would be surprised if KKoma couldn't deal with Pan Sen.
"We are not going to play tricks in this game. We will fight SKT with real swords and guns! There is no need to put too much psychological pressure on us, just treat it as a previous training match!" Zhuge Liang said to the players.
The purpose of calculating SKT to win the game in the first round was to boost morale, but it is not suitable to continue to use tricks in the second round.
The bo5 in the knockout round is a tough battle, and skt has too much experience. If we don't adapt in advance, we will easily be misled by the victory in the group stage.
As analyzed by the two lpl commentators, winning or losing is secondary. The important thing is to accumulate experience and collect information.
Of course, it would be great to win.
"Coach, get me Jace, I want to try it!" 957 volunteered.
Zhuge Liang nodded. 957's progress this season is obvious to all. Since he dares to ask for Jace, he is confident that he can overwhelm Huni online.
Jess was locked up on the first floor, causing many exclamations.
This hero is popular in LCK, but is quite neglected in LPL. I didn’t expect that we would snatch it up.
skt backhandedly defeated blind monk and ez.
Regardless of whether Jayce in our hand is in the middle or in the middle, he will definitely be paired with a jungler in the early and mid-term to play the upper and jungle rhythm. In order to ensure confrontation, it is very practical for skt to grab a blind monk for Little Peanut.
As for ez, firstly, it is easy to use bang, and secondly, it can prevent us from forming a classic poke system.
It was our turn to choose people for the second and third floors. Just as kkoma guessed, Zhuge Liang gave Kangdi the priority to get the spider.
In another position, I helped my brother-in-law lock up the policewoman.
The poke lineup of Jess and ez is certainly good, but it is also an idea to pair it with a policewoman to push towers and switch lanes.
skt paused for a while and selected Braum at the end of the first round, which was considered a trick to curb we's rhythm of tower pushing.
In the second round of bans, both sides are still doing routine operations.
SKT took the lead in taking the Weapon Master on the fourth floor. The weapon line is not afraid of Jace. In the later stage, there is a chance to defeat Jace with a single belt. Huni seems to want to prove himself with this one.
In the end, leaving the counter position to Faker was obviously to give Faker a chance to avenge his embarrassment. He lost quite aggrievedly in the last round!
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, and instead of using the Feng Nu that matched the female police officer in the auxiliary position, he took the more defensive Tamu.
There's nothing I can do about it, KKoma's Braum makes the policewoman very uncomfortable.
If we insist on choosing Feng Nu, the bottom lane will not be able to bring up the rhythm of tower pushing, and the policewoman will inevitably face a long period of weakness, and it will need to be delayed until the later stage before she can exert her strength.
In this case, Feng Nu's value becomes very low, and her protection ability is not as stable as Tam's.
Furthermore, Tahm's ultimate is a magical skill when used to switch lanes and grab edges.
For the remaining mid laners, with faker holding the counter position, some heroes who are easy to target are undoubtedly more risky.
If Xiye knew how to use snake oil, he would be able to delay the later stages together with the policewoman.
However, Xiye's clockwork is quite green, so it's not as good as my brother-in-law's.
This was also the unexpected surprise that Zhuge Liang discovered when he observed the individual rankings of the players. His brother-in-law's bottom lane magic core hero has been trained very well. It's like clockwork. If the vampire plays for a while, he might be able to knock Xiye out of the mid lane.
The position has been lifted.
Xiye's mid-range shooters are also excellent, such as Lucian and ez, and their aircraft proficiency is not low at all.
Zhuge Liang was surprised and somewhat regretful about this. We, the twin stars, are missing something, and they are still far away from the real top.
Alas, don’t ask, the question is that Gemini is poisonous! Anyone named Gemini is basically cool!
"Xiye, can I take Syndra?" Zhuge Liang asked the players for their wishes.
Although Syndra is easy to fight online and can further enhance the combat effectiveness of the midfielder and midfielder in the early stage, the hit rate of Xiye's Syndra skill is a bit low in Zhuge Liang's opinion. Whether it can withstand Faker is still unknown.
.
"Anyway, I was countered. This helped me grow up and resist the pressure. Coach, I want to use Kassadin!" Xiye said seriously.
"Are you sure? If Faker plays heroes like Snake, Lucian, and Ryze, you might be able to explode!" Zhuge Liang confirmed.
Xiye nodded and said nothing more.
"Okay, let's take Kassadin! Try to avoid collisions in the early stage. Kandi won't take too much care of you. After all, if Jace is chosen, he will definitely need more support in the early stage!" Zhuge Liang patted Xiye's shoulder carefully.
Just a few words of advice.
Should you trust the players or your own BP? This is often a difficult problem for coaches.
If it were another game, Zhuge Liang would not necessarily allow Xiye to make his own decisions, but since the outcome of this game would not have much impact, Zhuge Liang had no reason to hold Xiye down and not let him take the hero he was confident in. p>
Besides, it’s not bad to choose Kassadin in the mid lane, and it coordinates well with the lineup.
Even if Emperor Kang suffers a lot, his burden will be very heavy.
In the last counter position of skt, faker chose Snake.
This is determined to crush Kassadin in the early stage!
