Chapter 261 [By the order of balance! I flow profound meaning! 】
May 12th is the second match day of the MSI group stage.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the audience in the LCS studio was already packed.
"Ocean Horse" sjokz slowly took the stage.
Today she changed into an off-white suit. Compared with the tight-fitting long skirt that highlighted her figure yesterday, she looked much more elegant. The LSPs in the live broadcast room also calmed down a bit.
"Dear audience friends! Welcome back to the MSI group stage..."
After a brief review of yesterday's opening ceremony, sjokz announced today's matchup.
The first match at 17:00 is between tsm and evs.
The second battle will be between g2 and Flash Wolves.
In the next three or four groups, ym will play two games in a row, against tsm and g2 respectively.
In the lounge.
The entire ym team also sat around in front of the big screen, watching the first matchup.
On the first day of the group stage, the North American representative team tsm first lost to g2, and then was won by Samsung. They suffered two consecutive losses on the first day of the group stage.
After the game, EU officials also comforted him on the official account in a very cold and humorous way.
The audience in the North American division started to criticize unceremoniously on Twitter, saying that if MSI’s home game is in Los Angeles, the loser will definitely be G2.
Some North American water friends who are familiar with Chinese culture even posted online the altars they had prepared, with candles and yellow talisman paper. They looked decent, indicating that they wanted to curse g2 to death.
Whether it's useful or not is second, the program's effect is really impressive.
After sjokz announced the start of the game, the players from tsm and evs came on stage one after another.
Although they have lost two games in a row, the players of the Vietnamese representative team evs seem to be in a more relaxed mood.
As a weak wild card region, they come to MSI every year basically for the purpose of sightseeing and learning the playing styles of other regions.
Being shortlisted for the group stage is already considered a success.
Mentally, I am very salty.
On the other side, the expressions of TSM's "two gods", Bilson and Senior Brother, were much more solemn.
In the history of LoL in the North American division, Bjergsen and Big Brother are the writers of history.
Both of them entered the industry around 2012.
And their personal honors are a history of league championships that complement each other.
Either you win the Spring Split championship, or I win the Summer Split championship.
They are also considered rivals on the field.
Of course, what they have in common is that they have never broken through to the quarterfinals of the S competition.
This year, tsm hired a senior brother from Team Liquid TL and formed a "double god" bond with Bjergsen to directly unify the North American division and realize the unification of the world.
Apparently, they want big news throughout the year.
On the first day of the MSI group stage, they kneeled twice in a row. This was obviously not in line with tsm's expectations before the trip, and the atmosphere in the team was obviously much more solemn.
After the players have finished taking their seats.
bp also officially started.
EVS still banned the popular ez and plane on the first day of the group stage, and at the same time banned Pilsen's signature hero Syndra in the middle.
TSM's bans are relatively balanced, with one ban for each of the five positions. After all, EVS can't find any specific points that need to be targeted.
Lineups on both sides.
Blue square tsm: top laner Thain, jungler Barrel, mid laner Snake Girl, bottom lane cannon Lulu
Red side evs: top laner Crocodile, jungler gunner, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Xia Karma
The opening phase of the game.
On the tsm side, after the middle jungler came out of the spring, he directly invaded the upper half of the wild area on the red side, and successfully squatted down to the male gun that came to the red side.
Pilsen's snake girl also fought extremely resolutely. As soon as the male gun appeared, he immediately used the ignition to take the lead. In the end, he successfully obtained first blood.
On the other side, in tsm's bottom lane, senior brother's cannon and support Lulu squatted very boldly in the river grass, and successfully executed the double moves of evs in the bottom lane.
"Is this North American team playing so hard? It's a man-machine style?" He sat cross-legged on the chair with his left hand, looking at the screen intently.
"I guess I was tired of losing yesterday." Xiaotian turned his chair unsteadily and glanced at Zhang Xiaowen beside him.
The latter looked straight at the moving male gun on the screen, his eyes flashing with strange colors.
"What are you looking at?" Xiaotian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
"Oh, it's okay, I thought of some past events." Zhang Xiaowen shook his head.
Su Chen and Meng Ma sat alone, discussing some details of the game from time to time.
At 7 minutes and 13 seconds, EVS Uenosuke and three others wanted to try a tower jump.
TSM's top laner Hauntzer played extremely steadily. First, he used Thain's Q [Savage Slam] to knock away Karma and the male gun who were preparing to defend the tower in advance.
Then he flashed to distance himself, unleashed his ultimate move [Wild Crash], and drove directly back to his hometown.
It's so stable that it makes people take a breath of cold air.
The barrage immediately became filled with "Afraid of Death Liu Sain".
"This TSM's top laner is very stable. I remember last year he also defeated top laners like Jess and Rambo. This year he has directly transformed into a blue-collar player. Is he the North American top laner?" Team manager Xiao Ma said with a smile.
"There are only so many resources in the canyon. This year TSM has established the bond of two gods, so the resource allocation will naturally change." Meng Ma bit his ballpoint pen and wrote and drew in his notebook.
The first set of duels lasted a total of 26 minutes.
In fact, at 18 minutes, Xiaolongkengtsm launched a zero-for-five team battle.
The game has been declared over.
After winning this team battle, Bilson's snake girl was 7-0, while Big Brother's cannon was 5-1. The damage of the two of them could basically melt the entire EVS team instantly.
Throughout the game, tsm played extremely fiercely, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were venting their anger.
After the economic gap reached 13,000, tsm no longer wanted to fight, ended the game, and won MSI's first victory.
When they saw the last wave, Bilson and his senior brother directly flashed to higher ground and slaughtered the EVs face to face.
Xiaotian couldn't help but sit up straight.
"What a cruel double c."
It seems that yesterday's two-game losing streak was just an illusion. TSM's current state is completely on par with the top four teams.
After the game, on the big screen, Senior Brother and Bilson also gave high-fives and hugs, and finally showed a smile on their faces.
In the studio of the na competition area, the host Ke Bi was also wailing and beating his chest and screaming, indicating that tsm would not lose a game and directly enter the semi-finals.
After the half-hour break has passed.
The second set of duels between g2 and Flash Wolves also began.
g2 still maintained the same status as yesterday. The three cores of mid, upper and jungle, and the three brothers P, Wunder, and Jonkos were playing well.
It is worth mentioning that in today's game, Flash Wolves directly copied YM's lineup yesterday, and Hanabi on the road also adjusted the barrel, and the program effect was directly maximized.
What kind of ultimate move can send the opponent to escape, e flash and hit the minion, and finally I want to try the geometric barrel routine used by Su Chen yesterday, but unfortunately it failed.
A mind-boggling operation made the audience eat several bowls of rice in succession.
LMS's commentator, Barbecued Pork and Tommy, also scratched their heads, directly saying that Hanabi had a mental problem after finishing the battle with Jiang University of Science and Technology yesterday.
At 22 minutes and 16 seconds, after g2 defeated Flash Wolves.
The entire ym team also left the lounge and prepared to play.
In the third group, they will face tsm who performed well in today's first game.
In the passage, Meng Ma was explaining the arrangements for the upcoming competition.
And the players of g2 happened to be walking towards them.
Ah P, who had won three consecutive victories in the group stage, was joking with a few teammates with a smile. When he saw YM's players, he immediately shouted with an exaggerated expression.
"hey, the demon of lpl !"
He waved to Su Chen, revealing two rows of big white teeth.
Apparently, Ah P has been browsing Twitter a lot these days and knows that European audiences have given Su Chen the nickname "LPL's Devil".
"Hello." Su Chen responded politely in English.
"Come on for this game, I hope it's you who win. It will be interesting to compete with us with three consecutive victories." Ap said with a half-smile.
The confidence and dry humor that Europeans are accustomed to are vividly reflected in him.
"I hope you can smile so happily after the game." Su Chen showed a smile.
The two "provoked" each other.
On the side, Xiaotian, Left Hand, and Zhang Xiaowen looked at each other in confusion. These brothers, who couldn't even recognize abcd, naturally couldn't understand English.
Looking at Ah P's back as he swaggered away, Su Chen shook his head and followed the team out of the passage.
"The third match of the MSI group stage, the showdown between ym and tsm is about to begin!"
Following the host sjokz's announcement, the team members from both sides took their seats on the stage one after another.
The director also focused the camera on the key figures of the game.
On the tsm side, Bilson and his senior brother were still having a serious exchange after taking their seats.
On the other side, ym's captain Su Chen seemed much calmer.
While the players are taking their seats.
Domestic Dousha TV’s lpl live broadcast room.
The two commentators responsible for this game, Guan Zeyuan, Remember, and the special guest Brother Ba, also appeared in front of the audience.
"After waiting for a long time, we finally arrived at today's game of our LPL representative team YM," I remember reading a spoken word, and then introduced today's special guests.
"Today we also invited the anchor Ba Ge who is very familiar to everyone. Welcome Brother Ba."
In front of the screen, Brother Ba, a serious man in a suit and tie, waved and said hello nervously.
"As we all know, YM's top laner Jiang Keda had a very good relationship with Brother Ba when he was a host. Can you tell us what you think of Jiang Shen's performance on MSI?" Guan Zeyuan continued enthusiastically.
Got on the topic.
"He played pretty well in the first two games of the group stage. I personally feel that he is impeccable," Brother Ba smiled, "but I always feel that his playing style is a bit different from that in the lpl."
"Indeed, in yesterday's two games, a handful of Gnar and a handful of barrels were both more team-friendly hero options," Guan Zeyuan nodded, "Maybe Jiang Shen is also learning more stable strategies in the international arena.
Style of play.”
While several people were talking.
The big screen also cuts into the picture of bp.
In today's game, Meng Ma guessed the coin correctly again and won the blue square.
This scene also made me have a little banter with Guan Zeyuan.
The first three ban positions.
The blue square ym banned Syndra, Cannon, and Scorpion.
TSM, on the other hand, knew very well and directly banned ez, and then blocked both Enchantress and Blind Monk.
"Oh? TSM didn't ban any of the four sisters in the top lane today. Do they think that after the big cuts to the four sisters in the top lane in version 8.9, Qinggang Shadow's priority for YM is no longer that high?" Guan Zeyuan said in surprise?
.
"League of Legends designer! Give me a Void Blade!" Remember to joke immediately.
Brother Ba on the side snickered.
For a bastard top laner like him, the four sisters are the perfect nemesis. On the day the new version was announced, the canyon top laner changed drastically. Brother Ba directly scored 300 points overnight. It was so exciting.
The blue square, ym's first choice, won the wheel mother first.
"YM should get the wheel first," Guan Zeyuan laughed, "It's very comfortable to be an AD in YM. The first floor will grab the hero first. Except for that person, there are really not many ADs who can enjoy this treatment.
"
"To be honest, bovy is probably the weakest AD player among the six teams in the MSI group stage, except for evs. His hero pool is really limited." Remember said seriously.
"When I was in LPL, I could still use the left-hand ez and the right-hand wheel. But as soon as the msi version of ez was strengthened, he couldn't get it anymore. If he plays Samsung in the back, it would be really difficult to hit the ruler in the bottom lane." Guan Zeyuan said.
.
On the red side, tsm’s first and second choices, take Lucian first and then the prince.
"Are you going to grab Lucian on the first floor? Although Lucian's appearance rate in the bottom lane has not been that high since version 8.7, there is still the possibility of swinging from mid to low." I remember analyzing.
The blue side, ym's second and third choice, first locked the plane, and then added a wine barrel!
"If Bilson on the opposite side may take Lucian in the mid lane, it's okay to give the plane to the left hand. As for the wine barrel, do you still have to give it to Jiang Keda who is on the road, or do you want to swing it?"
"I got this wine barrel at the end of the first round. Ym's BP move is quite good. Meng Ma's skills have improved." Guan Zeyuan praised.
The red side, tsm's third choice, snatched away the auxiliary Luo.
Both sides entered the second round of bp.
With the remaining two ban positions, tsm still wisely banned Qinggangying and Gnar.
This also somewhat induces ym to place orders with wine barrels.
On YM's side, in order to prevent TSM from getting Xia Luo's combination, they could only send Xia Luo to the ban position, and then make up for Ornn.
The red side, tsm's fourth choice, after a lot of tangle, then revealed an unexpected hero.
Lava behemoth!
"Hey! Is tsm going to get stone men for the road??" Guan Zeyuan and Remember immediately looked at Brother Ba who was aside.
He is the man at the top of the canyon who knows the stone people best.
Frowning, the lava beast.
This is a special pronoun for Brother Ba.
"Just take the stone man," Brother Ba nodded in agreement, "To fight Jiang Ke Da, just follow him and mix with him. Don't even think about fighting him, you will die miserably."
"I think this is a good choice!"
The tsm on the red side has the last choice left, and it is still not clear whether Lucian is in the middle or at the bottom.
As for ym on the blue side, you need to be the first to complete the four or five selections.
In the fourth choice, ym locked the auxiliary Tahm Kench.
It’s still the stable bottom lane of Wheel Matam, which is currently YM’s bottom lane combination with the highest winning rate.
"Only the last choice is left. Let's see what ym says. If you want to kill the stone man, you are really cheating by getting the wine barrel for Jiang Keda." Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
"I don't think ym will put a wine barrel on the order, maybe a captain or a crocodile or something." Brother Ba analyzed.
"Based on what I know about Su Chen, it's okay to keep him steady for a game or two. If you keep giving him heroes like this, I guess he can retire directly."
When Guan Zeyuan and Qiu Yi heard this, they also burst out laughing.
While everyone was talking and laughing, the fifth floor of ym also displayed Rambo, vampire, crocodile and other choices one after another.
However, when an emerald green ninja appeared at the window on the fifth floor.
The discussion between the three people came to an abrupt end!
"By the order of KINO!"
The sonorous and powerful female voice echoed in the live broadcast room!
