The moment the blue square GenG crystal shattered, a magnificent BGM immediately sounded in the Busan venue.
The Samsung players who lost the opening match looked unhappy and silently packed up their keyboards and mice and left the venue.
Khan shrugged his head and looked unhappy. He probably had a recurrence of his inner demons.
On the other side, Su Chen high-fived four teammates one by one, with a dull smile on his face.
In the event live broadcast room, several commentators were also happily reviewing the game.
"Judging from the performance in the opening game, YM should be well prepared for this trip to the World Championship. The first-level jungler gave way to the male gunner, the midfielder besieged the bottom lane to divide the battlefield, and the Jiangke University players themselves were in key team battles.
All the decisions were made very well, and it seemed that Samsung had no room to fight back throughout the game." Hao Kai said enthusiastically.
"It seems that Samsung has not adapted well to the 8.19 version. Although they have come up with the policewoman's bottom lane speed push system, the pace of the midfield configuration is relatively slow, and Yasuo and Rakan started the game.
The team's coordination was not very good, and YM also took advantage of this and chose to speed up the game after the men's three-piece gun set, which hit the weak spot of the Samsung lineup." Tong Xi added.
"What you two said makes sense, but I also discovered a key point," Wang Duoduo deliberately put it off, and then said, "YM should have been trying a large-scale swing game in the middle, upper and wild positions."
"Well...it seems like that." Tong Xi recalled it and agreed with this statement.
From the games played between YM and RNG in the summer finals, Urgot was used in the left-hand mid lane, while Su Chen in the top lane used cards.
After arriving at the World Championships, the men's gun originally used by Xiaotian was also moved to the top.
It seems that the YM coaching staff is making full use of the talents of the three players in the middle, upper and jungle, using their broad hero pool to infinitely expand the freedom of BP.
This is definitely good news.
"After the World Championship groupings were announced, we were quite worried about YM, because Group D is after all a brawl between the top four MSI players, but now it seems that qualifying for the group should not be a problem." Tong Xi said with a smile.
While several people were talking, the MVP candidate for the opening game had already appeared on the public screen.
"The first MVP of the Busan group stage was won by YM's top laner JKD. His performance in this game was impeccable!"
The picture showed Su Chen wearing YM's black team uniform, with his hands in his pockets and a stern look in his eyes.
And behind him was the shadow of the male gunman Graves.
In this round, the male gunner achieved a terrifying KDA of 14-0-2, with over 40,000 output in the game, and the team accounted for 54%.
For comparison, on the other side, Samsung's top laner Khan's Yasuo has an output of 2200!
Not even a fraction of a man's gun is enough.
After seeing this data comparison, the live broadcast room was immediately filled with joy.
[Yasuo has 2,000 output after 20 minutes of playing? Are you kidding me? I’ve never done that in a human or machine game!]
[A mere Korean stick order is not half as good as the factory director!]
[4396 has become a thing of the past, and a new Morse code is born! 】
[Yasuo also made almost 200 knives in this game. This output conversion rate is dented, it is really a hilarious torsuo]
[Khan: Who is the best in Busan? Of course JKD, but me? 】
…
Post-game interview session.
Su Chen stood in front of the camera, with her old acquaintance Aunt Yu Shuang beside her.
"Congratulations on your first victory in the World Championship. The first game was against your old rival Samsung. It was a great win. How do you feel at the moment?"
Su Chen said with a normal expression: "I think the entire game was completed at a relatively high level. I accomplished everything I designed before the game on the court. It's natural to win."
Yu Shuang had long been accustomed to Su Chen's confident speech and continued to ask with a smile.
"Before the groupings for this World Championship were announced, the outside world had been discussing that it was more difficult to qualify for Group D. It was ridiculed by many people as the group of death. After winning the opening game, will you have more confidence in qualifying? Do you think
Which team is the most difficult in the group right now?"
Hearing Yu Shuang's words, Su Chen showed a rare smile.
"Personally, I haven't paid much attention to the discussion of the Death Group, and I have never worried about the possibility that YM will not be able to make it."
"As for which team is more difficult," Su Chen shook his head, "I think they are pretty much the same. I don't feel which team will be difficult to beat."
"Wow~ You are really confident," Yu Shuang said in surprise, "I hope you can maintain your status today and keep winning."
"Thank you, we will." Su Chen smiled.
…
After the interview, Su Chen returned to the lounge, opened the door and saw people swaying on the sofa and chairs.
"Brother Chen, your speech is indeed a bit arrogant. Be careful of the hot search tonight." Xiaotian smiled and waved the mobile phone that was playing the live broadcast in his hand.
At the Busan group stage, watching the Busan group stage live, Gao Tianliang is also a genius.
"What speech?" Su Chen asked.
The left hand is also learning and selling, and immediately switches to a serious face, "I think they are all similar, I don't think which team is more difficult to beat."
"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Su Chen smiled and sat down on the chair.
After Meng Ma finished the first game with a simple review, everyone also watched the subsequent games in the lounge.
A total of six B01 games were arranged on Day 1 of the group stage, except for Group B where FNC is located.
The teams from the remaining three groups all completed their debuts.
C9 in Group A easily crushed the Vietnamese wild card team PVB. After Jian Huang completed his training in the qualifying round, he came to Busan to show his strength. The Enchantress in the middle scored a 7-0 record, which directly impressed the North American commentators.
Next, RNG also contributed a wonderful slaughter feast.
With the Wolf King leading the way, it was not easy for RNG to deal with the Flash Wolves. Casa's troll succeeded in ganking three times in a row before reaching level 6. The three lanes were all affected by rain and dew, and each person got one head on average.
In the favorable situation, Uzi also played extremely fiercely. Lucian hit two on the bottom lane with one hand, which made Snake and Betty's scalp numb.
RNG won the game in 29 minutes, and Uzi's Lucian also achieved a super achievement, getting perfect data of 9-0-4.
The commentator also deliberately joked, saying that Uzi was stimulated by the last game at Jiangsu University.
After the competition in Group A is completed, there will be a big battle between the old enemies of Group D, G2 and TSM.
Although they came from the playoffs, G2 was in an extremely hot state. Ah P showed Yasuo in the middle, and the rhythm of the whole game flew with the wine barrel that the sheep dunked.
The two gods of North America, Bjergsen and Big Brother, were all in sluggish form. An ice lady went 0-2-1, and a small cannon went 1-4-2. They were beaten dizzy by G2.
After pushing to the high ground, Ah P directly performed the effects on the spot. The Samsung team logo appeared above his head, which was obviously a hint to Khan's Yasuo in the first game. He was smiling happily in the camera.
After the schedule of groups A and D is completed.
The last highlight of the first day of the group stage has finally arrived.
LPL's third seed IG faced Europe's second-biggest brother VIT.
IG, which dominated the finals in Seoul, became very popular after its debut.
Especially Song Yijin and The Shy received warm cheers from many LCK viewers.
In the first show, IG also continued its usual reckless style of play. Song Yijin ignored the designer's warning and took out mid laner Akali, The Shy took out Sword Princess, and King Ning grabbed Qinggang Shadow.
IG completely crushed the middle and upper jungle, and Song Yijin beat VIT's mid laner King King Syndra in a single lane. He jumped the tower at the beginning of the third level to complete the lane kill, and then King Ning came over again to help jump the tower.
Emperor J almost surpassed him, lingering on the dangerous edge of 0-7 for a long time. Fortunately, Ah Shui from the bottom lane sent warmth in time. Verus flashed his ultimate move in an attempt to attack, but was stunned by Syndra's push with his backhand.
After taking full damage from the energy tilt, he donated a human head.
In the end, King J ended the game with a record of 1-8, helping the team successfully develop the i8 system.
King J, who was born in Italy, was also pranked by Twitter users after the game, and his photo was posted into a famous scene from "The Godfather".
And the accompanying text: "Rookie player, please restrain yourself, your behavior has attracted the attention of the mafia."
…
The final match on the first day of the group stage was between KT and Wanwan’s second seed MAD.
There was nothing interesting about this game. The disparity in strength was too big. KT played indifferently. Against the background of crazy fights by other teams, they chose a slow-paced lineup that favored team battles. They only relied on what they caught in the early stage.
A few mistakes kept snowballing, and after the key team battle was won, it was easily leveled.
Deft's Xayah achieved a record of 5-0-4 and became the last MVP of the day.
After KT finished playing the game, it was already 11pm in China.
But the topic of the S8 World Championship is still rising.
The names of the three teams YM, RNG, and IG have also appeared on the top of the hot search list.
These also include JKD, Jiangke University and other IDs that represent Su Chen.
The domestic audience was excitedly discussing the first show of the World Championship, and various commentators and insiders also posted on Weibo to chat about their opinions.
[Report! Good news from the front line! On the first day of the group stage, all three LPL teams won!]
[I feel that all three teams are in good shape this year. They won all three games by crushing each other. This should be the best start to the LPL World Championship in recent years. The LPL civil war won’t start in the top eight by then, right?]
[Jiang Keda’s Liu Bei is really strong, killing a GenG with two shots, and Uzi’s Lucian is a smooth batch. These two should be the damage kings of the group stage, right? 】
[One thing to say, IG and RNG won easily depending on their opponents, but YM can beat Samsung like this. This should be something many people didn't expect. The two teams at MSI fought in five bloody games, right? 】
[YM: Everyone in Group D, have you decided who is the second seed? 】
After winning the Asian Games this year, LPL's self-confidence has been built up.
Seeing the performance of the three teams in the group stage in their first games, many viewers also rekindled their hopes.
All three teams reached the quarterfinals, which is already better than S7's results.
After a night of excitement is over.
The schedule for Day 2 of the group stage starts again.
Group B, which did not appear yesterday, finally made its debut the next day.
The leader of the team, FNC, faced off against the Hong Kong team G-Rex, and it was also a crushing game.
Caps, the king of hats, brought out the mid laner Sword Girl, who couldn't even keep up with the camera due to her skillful operation. Ou Cheng played the role of backing up the team, and Wheel Mom produced the highest output in the game. FNC easily won.
Guan Zeyuan, who is responsible for the commentary, also said that due to the version of this year’s World Championship, it is difficult for a strong team to overturn. After seven games, there was no comeback.
However, he had just finished speaking.
In the next game, Group A had a super upset!
Yesterday, RNG was selected online as the first team to lock in the top eight, but it overturned and lost to C9 in the same group.
With an economic lead of 12,000, even the commentator didn't know how to lose, but RNG found a way!
Xiaohu's Ryze was caught alone several times, and Letme's Gnar also made a fatal mistake in the team battle. Gnar jumped up at the moment when his anger was about to end, and after instantly shrinking, he failed to shoot Tathagata Palm.
Killed instantly by C9's concentrated fire.
Uzi's policewoman was a little weak in the late stage. On C9's side, Jianhuang's sword girl took several waves of finishing kills at 0-6, and finally reached a record of 8-6, even completing the game.
A super achievement!
In 44 minutes, after the two dragons of Baron and Ancient Dragon merged, C9 flattened RNG's three highlands and completed a shocking reversal!
After the game, there was also a turmoil in the country.
After missing out on the World Championship this year, the long-suppressed stars found a breakthrough and directly took advantage of the situation.
Can 12,000 yuan be turned over?
Still lost to C9?
I always lost to SKT in the World Championship!
RNG immediately appeared on the hot search list, and LPL, which was originally in a great situation, suddenly cast a shadow.
In addition to RNG being flushed, Guan Zeyuan, who cast spells before the game, was also liquidated.
As a result, he had no choice but to post on Weibo, saying that this kind of thing is difficult to predict and there is no need to be too nervous if RNG loses a game.
Let’s see how YM performs in the next game.
…
Amid the noise of RNG's upset, the players of YM and G2 returned to the stage.
After defeating TSM in the same group yesterday, everyone in G2 seemed to be in a good mood. Ah P even blew a kiss to Su Chen from a distance after sitting in his seat and putting on his headphones.
It means I want to take you home.
Seeing Ah P acting like a pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Su Chen just smiled and shook his head. After putting on his headphones, he waited for BP to start.
In this game, YM once again won the right to choose sides and still jumped to the red side.
G2 also saw the power of Su Chen's male gun yesterday and banned him in the first ban position.
Let's have fun and have fun, but respect must still be shown.
The two sides started a game on BP, and the lineup gradually took shape.
Blue side G2: top laner Urgot, jungler Kindred, mid laner Clockwork, bottom laner Xia Keg
Red square YM: jungle rock bird, mid laner Thain, bottom lane policewoman Bomberman
The person responsible for the commentary remembers that he and Cat King were also chatting about the lineups of both sides.
"G2 changed from the norm today and chose an extremely stable lineup. It seemed that they wanted to avoid YM's most ferocious early and mid-term and compete for the winning rate in team battles. However, after selecting the lineups on both sides, it seems that YM wanted to
Make a quick push." I remember saying.
"Indeed, looking at YM's selection of this lineup, I feel that they are going to engage in black technology again. This is Jiang Keda's last choice. I don't know what heroes they will use." Cat King said with a smile.
G2’s biggest gain on the blue side was to get Wunder the World Championship version’s son Urgot.
Whether it's a lane warrior hero or a long-range laner, Urgot can handle it, and he can also prevent his opponent from forcing a strong attack in mid- to late-game team battles.
In this game, G2 focused on early defense and teamfighting efforts in the mid-game.
"It's the red side's last choice!"
Under the voice of the explanation, Meng Ma also walked to Su Chen's side and made final confirmation with him.
After a short communication, the red side’s final choice was finally revealed.
Wunder, who was still smiling and making self-deprecating jokes with his teammates, saw his eyes popping out when he saw the hero displayed in the opponent's window on the fifth floor.
“It is indeed a wise choice~”
A yordle scientist with a hairy face and a huge head shouted in a frizzy voice.
