"In just 24 minutes and 13 seconds, YM shattered the crystal of blue side G2 and won the game!"
"Currently, they have won two consecutive games in the Busan group stage and are in a very hot state!"
In the bustling Busan venue, Su Chen took off his headphones, stood up, stretched, and glanced at the excited audience below the stage.
It seems that the top laner Inventor in this round left a deep impression on them.
"You can beat this one, Brother Chen. I thought I was going to be in trouble when I saw this lineup." Xiaotian laughed beside him.
"It is indeed a bit risky, but with the speed push system, if it succeeds, it will crush the game and grab the rhythm." Su Chen shrugged.
The excited teammates came to the G2 game booth. The G2 team, which had lost this game, was reviewing the game on the spot.
Ah P rarely lost the game and did not smile playfully. Instead, he seriously discussed the details of the game with Jankos.
After seeing Su Chen coming over, he stood up and said helplessly: "It seems that you regard the group stage as your own laboratory. Can a hero like Heimerdinger go on the road?"
Su Chen smiled slightly: "As long as the proficiency is in place, everything can be done."
Ah P was stunned for a moment, then joked to Wunder behind him: "How about we also try black technology in the next round?"
Wunder rolled his eyes and quickly rolled up his keyboard and mouse.
After exiting the stage, the five YM people laughed all the way back to the lounge.
Meng Ma and PDD, who had been waiting for a long time, stood at the door and gave high fives to every player who entered.
"We played very well in the first two games. Although there were some small flaws, the overall execution was very good. After these two games, we have a great chance of qualifying for the group stage!" Meng Ma stood in front of the tactical board.
Said excitedly.
Samsung, G2, and YM, who are the most powerful in Group D, all won with two crushing victories. In this way, in the first round of the B01 cycle in the group, TSM is the only opponent left.
YM, which scored two points first, has temporarily ranked first in Group D.
After listening to Meng Ma's analysis, the atmosphere in the lounge became noticeably higher.
"Come on, brothers, if we win four more games, we will be in the top eight!" Xiaotian clenched his fists, and his eyes seemed to be igniting with flames.
"What you're saying is that no one who reaches the quarter-finals will be considered successful, right?" Zuo Zuo couldn't help teasing him.
"I'm so hungry. Do you have a midnight snack tonight?" Zhang Xiaowen sat cross-legged on a chair and peeled the banana in his hand very skillfully.
Sitting next to him without saying a word, he lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.
Su Chen saw what he was thinking, walked over, patted him, and said warmly:
"The victory of the team is closely related to everyone. You don't have to perform amazing operations to make a contribution. If you have a calm mind, you will have the opportunity to show yourself."
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully.
Ever since YM won the summer championship, the psychological pressure has been accumulating.
As a newcomer who joined YM in the middle of the summer split, he has been suffering from online controversy.
In the first few games, he has been adapting to the rhythm of the LPL. He made many mistakes on the court and was dubbed the "sudden AD".
In order to get rid of this impression of holding the team back, during the offseason of more than half a month after the regular season, I played Rank day after day, watched game videos, and accepted the guidance of the coaching staff, and gradually found myself in YM.
positioning in.
He also gradually became more stable, and when the wild assistant caught him in the early stage of YM, he could be as stable as possible, and his resistance to pressure in the solo lane gradually improved.
But this did not reduce the voices criticizing him online. After the label of "violent AD" was removed.
The new title of "bastard AD" was once again placed on his head.
As the starting AD on a team that is the favorite to win the championship, every move he makes will be invisibly amplified, and he will naturally receive more harsh criticism.
Although Mengma has stated many times that his growth rate has been quite amazing and he is worthy of being the starting AD, he still feels frustrated when he sees these comments.
But Su Chen always helped him build confidence, which also allowed him to slowly adjust his mentality.
Meng Ma looked over, and after that, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and felt lucky in his heart.
What Su Chen brings to YM is not only his dominance in the game, but more importantly, his ability to unite the entire team at all times.
It is precisely because of him that YM can maintain such a good team atmosphere throughout the year, and players can use their talents on the court without any scruples.
This is the role of a leader.
After summarizing the game against G2, Meng Ma also took the whole team to watch the rest of the group stage schedule.
Next up on the stage were KT and IG from Group C, which was also the focus of the much-anticipated battle for the No. 1 seed in the group.
IG on the blue side is obviously well prepared for today's game. The Shy took out Urgot, who has been criticized for not being able to use it before, and IG also grabbed the midfield configuration of the Enchantress Qinggang Shadow.
On the other side, KT's lineup responded well enough. General Pawn successfully defended Faker's Morgana in the S5 mid-season.
Deft and Mata grabbed the combination of Drain Thresh and defeated IG's Xia Luo online.
After a 28-minute battle, KT finally won a big victory with a score of 18-4.
In the jungle position, Score's Prince won the MVP of this game with a record of 4-1-9.
In fact, he is indeed the key player in this scene.
After King Ning's Green Steel Shadow aggressively invaded the jungle and countered his own red BUFF, Score decisively changed his strategy and surrendered the entire upper half of the jungle, then turned to the bottom lane to help Draven and Thresh cross the tower.
Deft used Delaiwen, Ah Shui's best skill, to get Xia's first blood.
Then the prince once again helped counter-crouch in the middle, forcing out the double flash of IG's midfielder.
General Pawn, who had obtained the lane rights, perfectly restrained Rookie during the laning phase, and was unable to allow IG to play a smooth midfield rhythm.
In this balanced situation, KT's ability to seize opportunities began to stand out. Mata's Thresh accurately hooked Sapphire's Rakan several times, and also prevented Rookie's sneak attack from the flank during the team battle.
After winning the baron, Deft also put on his own personal show, scoring a wave of triple kills on the IG high ground!
The winning KT also received the craziest cheers since the start of the group stage.
"KT is a bit strong. IG seems to be too passive on the scene and can't find any opportunities." Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh.
Currently in the LPL, the only team that puts him under pressure is IG. First of all, Ning Wang in the jungle is not easy to deal with, and he is the same type of rhythm jungler.
Secondly, Rookie in the middle can suppress his left hand and constantly put pressure on him in the jungle, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, Su Chen, who is on the top lane, cannot penetrate The Shy like he can crush other top laners. As a jungler who is always used to being in the lane superior game, he must adjust his thinking when playing this kind of game.
But Xiaotian never expected that IG would be beaten like this by KT.
"It's just a B01. The group stage is also a process of slowly adapting. There is no need to be too surprised." Su Chen said calmly on the side.
"That's true, after all, RNG can be overturned by 12,000." Xiaotian nodded repeatedly.
"But KT's state in this year's World Championship is indeed a bit scary." Meng Ma touched his chin and looked at the screen with emotion.
As the head of the coaching staff, he has been collecting videos and data of each grouped team since the group stage draws.
After all, it is an opponent that we may encounter in the knockout rounds later, so it is right to prepare early.
But after looking at so many teams, most of the teams were able to find a breakthrough, but KT could hardly find a weakness.
The core reason is that the individual abilities of the six players on this team are too balanced.
The dual command tower system built by Mata and Pawn, coupled with veteran Score's overall view, makes it almost difficult for KT to make big mistakes in the game.
In terms of carry ability, Deft is not inferior to Uzi in team battles, and he even has to play more steadily. His KDA throughout the summer playoffs was outrageously high.
And the most important thing is that in this World Championship, KT has two top laners.
One is Smeb who was able to resist The Shy online just now.
There is another one, Marin, who has not appeared yet.
If they really face KT, Mengma is not sure what the situation will be like. The two teams' limited experience in training obviously cannot be used as a reference.
…
The schedule of Day 2 of the group stage will finally end with the contest of Group D.
The protagonist of B01 in this scene is TSM, and the clown is Samsung.
No one expected that Samsung, playing at home, would be beaten by YM and then lose to TSM in North America.
Khan inexplicably used various outrageous pressures before level 6, and was caught by the opponent's jungler twice.
Pilsen's Syndra directly beat Crown Brother online. TSM's head count was 5-0 ten minutes ago, which can be said to be a dream start.
The big brother's Lucian also showed his carry ability in the advantageous game. He scored four kills in the team battle, and a set of Holy Spear Baptism killed Chi Di's EZ in front of him.
In the end, TSM flattened the enemy Crystal in 26 minutes and won their first victory in the group stage!
After the game, there was an uproar on the LCK viewing forum.
Samsung, which suffered two consecutive defeats in the group stage, was directly on the hot search list.

[Khan and Ruler both wanted to prove themselves so much that they completely lost their discipline in the summer split]
[I don’t understand what GenG concluded after they lost to YM yesterday. Is it okay to clarify the concept of the version first and then talk about qualifying? 】
[We lost to YM yesterday, lost to TSM today, and will lose to G2 next. There is no team to lose after that, so just go home in the top 16! 】
[This defeat to TSM was so crucial. The entire qualifying situation in Group D has completely changed. I feel that everyone except YM has a chance to compete for the second seed status]
…
The door to the bathroom opened, and Su Chen walked out wearing a towel, and saw the garlic bastard sitting in front of the computer screen, laughing strangely.
"What are you looking at?" Su Chen quickly walked over and found that there was just an article on the screen that seemed to be reading. He immediately knew that he had misunderstood.
A blogger named "Annie's Bedside Story" published a long article, taking stock of the strong teams in the group stage one by one.
"The biggest problem of RNG currently is that it lacks the ability to finish the game. Facing C9's economic comeback by 12,000 is the best evidence. When Xiao Ming can't get strong support and Yan Junze doesn't have Ornn, RNG has been in a wave.
If you can't open a good team, you have to wait for the opponent to open and then counterattack every time, which will be a hidden danger."
"Fortunately, Group A has the smallest qualifying pressure among the four groups. They can still adjust slowly, but don't think that they are already the No. 1 seed. There are still many variables."
"After the battle with KT, the situation in Group C is basically clear. KT seems to be the only team with both offense and defense. It is a surprise that IG can bring out Urgot in the top lane, but Jackeylove is unstable.
and The
Shy's occasional disconnect has to be solved by coach Jin, but in Group C, the remaining VIT and MAD are not teams of the same level at all. It is difficult to threaten IG's second seed status. This group should be the best.
There is no suspense anymore.”
"You actually read this kind of article?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
The first half of this article is written quite professionally, and some of its views coincide with those of Meng and Ma. It is obvious that he has done enough homework.
But he didn't expect that someone like Xiaotian, who enjoys posting on forums, would read such hard-core articles.
"I didn't watch much in the front, I mainly watched how he boasted about YM." Xiaotian smiled, "This blogger is a die-hard fan of YM."
Su Chen continued to read and found that it was exactly what Xiaotian said.
Nearly half of the rest of this article is full of praise for YM, and the five starters are doing the same one by one.
Xiaotian is truly the number one jungler in the world.
In Group D, the left-hander rarely encounters mid laners who can put pressure on him.
The potential of the bottom lane combination with Zhang Xiaowen is extremely terrifying, and the two of them are still growing even after coming to the World Championship.
As for Su Chen who is on the road, he can even play heroes like the Inventor top laner, which has turned the term "death group" into a joke. With him here, YM can really start to study the opponents for the knockout rounds.
"I have to say it, it's really objective." Su Chen nodded.
Xiaotian laughed, took his own towel, and walked into the bathroom humming a song from his hometown.
Lying in bed, Su Chen, who had been tense all day, finally relaxed. He took out his mobile phone and made a video call.
A few seconds later, in the shaking screen, Lin Chu, wearing pajamas with Shiba Inu dog heads printed on them, waved towards the camera.
"Can you see me? Is the network not stuck?"
Su Chen shook his head, and then Lin Chu fixed the phone with confidence.
Only then did Su Chen see the settlement page of a ranked round on her computer screen. Her Great Inventor won a 3.0 rating with a super ghost record of 0-9.
"It seems a bit difficult. My teammates have reported me." Lin Chu said awkwardly.
Su Chen asked curiously: "Aren't you busy with projects recently? Do you still have time to play games?"
"Isn't this why I want to fight after watching your game?" Lin Chu spread his hands, "Our company can't work overtime. Didn't I tell you before?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot." Su Chen then remembered.
"I'm jealous~" Lin Chu showed a childish smile, hugged his knees and sat on the computer chair, chatting with Su Chen about his experiences in the past few days of the group stage.
"I heard that Busan is going to cool down next week. Your team uniforms look so thin. Remember to wear more." Lin Chu said suddenly.
Hearing her words, Su Chen couldn't help but be startled, feeling that the atmosphere was a little different for some reason.
He said silently: "Thank you, but the venue is air-conditioned."
"Oh, yes, I forgot, then it's okay." Lin Chu smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject, asking what hero Su Chen would use in the next game.
"It depends on the specific lineup, it may still be more experimental," Su Chen said.
"It seems that you are really confident that you will qualify." Lin Chu said with a smile.
After the two chatted for more than ten minutes, Lin Chu looked at the time and took the initiative to end the conversation.
"You have a game tomorrow, so go to bed early."
Seeing that Xiaotian was about to come out, Su Chen nodded.
"Okay, you should go to bed early. Good night, beauty."
