IG's second game is against C9 at 8pm on October 6th.
On this day, all three LPL teams appeared.
The first game is LPL's third seed WE versus the North American cult TSM.
The uniform and tsunami-like "TSM" cheers on the field were shocking.
But as we all know, the louder TSM's cheers, the harder they get beaten.
In this game, WE gave full play to the essence of the do-whatever system, with near-perfect team coordination, and successfully established sufficient advantages through the linkage of various lines in the early stage, and then easily won the victory through superb teamfighting.
The match between RNG and SSG at 6 pm is the highlight of the second match day.
This game is the first confrontation between the LPL team and the LCK team in this world championship.
Whoever can continue to maintain a record of unbeatable victory will also break it in this battle.
But what everyone didn't expect was that RNG showed amazing combat effectiveness in this battle.
Especially Uzi and Xiao Ming in the bottom lane almost completely overwhelmed SSG's Chidi and corejj in the bottom lane.
This is how LCK’s first dog phobia patient was born.
Not only that, Brother Crown and Xiaohu in the middle were fighting against each other, and Cuvee on the top was still unable to open up the situation against Rang Di, who had experienced the baptism of being exposed.
So much so that the middle and top lanes cannot get the lane rights they deserve.
So the jungler An, whose style resembles that of a factory director, was stabbed through the jungle by the reckless incense pot.
RNG won another victory and broke the LCK team's undefeated streak!
At this moment, RNG’s voice reached its peak!
They became the first LPL team to defeat LCK in this World Championship.
Although it was only a BO1 in the group stage, it still brought great confidence to the audience!
And today is destined to be a day of carnival for LPL viewers.
In the final game of the second match day, IG played against C9.
With the negative teaching material of AHQ in the last game, C9 has obviously learned wisely.
IG's Syndra female gun in the bottom lane is too difficult to deal with. In this version, the bottom lane of other teams is the absolute core, and it is impossible to use the bottom lane as a tool like IG.
They had to block Syndra in the first round. In addition, Lucian and Galio were also eliminated.
The desk occupied by Syndra had no choice but to let Kalista out.
At least in their view, IG's combination of getting Kalista in the bottom lane is far less scary than getting Syndra's female gun.
After all, the child's Kerry abilities are not among the best in the world.
On the IG side, Pan Sen, Qinggangying and Luo were eliminated.
While blocking Xia Luo's combination, grab Kalista without hesitation on the first floor.
When a close-up shot showed IG's competition seat, with Liao Sha grinning like a lotus flower, the audience didn't notice anything was wrong, and even thought IG was going to play a pagoda combination.
Until the lineups of both sides are completely determined.
Blue square IG: top laner Kalista, jungle prince, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane rat and Feng Nu.
Red side C9: Crocodile in the top lane, Blind Monk in the jungle, Ice Girl in the middle lane, Big Mouth plus Lulu in the bottom lane.
Everyone was stunned.
The Kalista that IG snatched was actually used for teasing.
What shocked them even more was that the hero Kalista's laning suppression power on the top lane was even more terrifying than Lucian!
Le Sha took full advantage of his deep friendship with the opponent's defense tower.
Ignoring the defense tower, with only level 3, he jumped over the tower and killed the impacting crocodile.
Although the French King Jensen in the middle is also one of the best super mid laners in their division, he still failed to get a good deal from Broiler when he got Counter as the ice girl.
Although there was no single kill in the lane, the last hits were suppressed a lot.
As for the duel in the bottom lane, overall it tends to be stable and there is not much friction.
It's just that IG's top lane is always something that C9 can't solve.
In just eight minutes, C9's top tower was already destroyed.
IG took advantage of the situation to win the Rift Herald and broke through C9's middle tower in one fell swoop. At this point, C9's wild area was completely occupied.
IG steadily expanded its advantages and snowballed.
Although the overall style was far less bloody than the last game against AHQ, it did not give C9 the slightest chance.
Except for the last wave of the decisive team battle, he sacrificed himself again for the kid who started the team, allowing C9 to get a kill.
C9 never got any other kills in the entire game.
Twenty-five minutes later, the game is over.
On the second match day, LPL achieved an excellent record of 3-0 and has maintained a complete victory so far.
For LPL fans, this is simply a dream start, especially RNG's victory over SSG, which boosted everyone's morale.
Unfortunately, this excitement did not last long. On the third match day, RNG unexpectedly encountered Waterloo.
In the game against G2, RNG actually lost!
I thought that after defeating SSG, RNG would have a good chance of qualifying first in the group.
But I never expected that on October 7, the third match day, RNG would lose to G2!
It’s not that I can’t beat them with hard power, it’s just that there’s a problem with BP, and almost all the heroes in the OP version were released.
For example, if you trade Galio for Xia Luo, you will never be able to gain advantage in the bottom lane.
Then Galio was also singled out by the opponent to select a card Counter, losing his rhythm and initiative.
The top laner was so swollen that he didn't choose a hero that could withstand pressure. For the first time, he picked up Jayce, and then he was targeted by the opponent and almost exploded.
Although RNG relied on their personal strength and teamwork to drag the game to thirty minutes.
But the pit dug during the laning phase was too big, so we had no choice but to lose the game.
For a while, some viewers even suspected that the victory over SSG was just a short-lived extraordinary performance of the RNG team.
In the final group stage, RNG may still have to compete with C9 for the second place in the group, or even be eliminated.
Although WE defeated Flash Wolves on the same day, the LPL was not completely defeated today.
But the audience's mood is still like a roller coaster, falling from heaven to earth.
In the minds of many LPL viewers, except for LCK teams, they cannot lose to any team from other divisions!
In this mood, IG, which has no competition today, has become the biggest expectation of the audience.
Because they will face SKT, the strongest opponent in Group A, on the second day, it is also a key match to determine who in Group A can win the first round of the group stage.
If we can defeat SKT, it will also bring the current momentum of LPL back to its peak.
...
The time comes on October 8th, at eight o'clock in the evening.
The last match day of the first round of the group stage, the final battle.
A strong showdown between IG and SKT.
It was completely dark in Wuhan, but the venue was still bustling with people.
Everyone is looking forward to whether the LCK will achieve its second complete victory in the first round, or whether IG will become the only 3-0 team in the LPL.
Because before this, WE also tasted failure and lost to the MSF Rabbit Team.
This makes the audience pay more attention to the IG game.
If they lose today, the LPL team's record today will be a complete defeat.
At the same time, in the lounge, everyone at IG also felt inexplicable pressure.
"Duke, what kind of tactics do you think SKT likes to use? Is there anything we need to focus on?"
The child squeezed the sweat from his palms and looked at Duke, who was sitting in the corner of the lounge with his eyes closed and concentrating.
Today's starting lineup has been determined, and Duke still doesn't have to play. He is in the most relaxed mood.
As the starting top laner in SKT's championship lineup last season, he naturally knows SKT's tactical system well, but the kid still wants to hear some weaknesses in SKT's tactical system from his mouth.
Duke glanced at the child blankly and shook his head: "This year, their tactics are different."
Although Duke wants to tell his teammates where SKT's destiny is, he is seeking his own political position, but one version after another, this year's version of the World Championship is completely different from last year's version.
SKT's lineup has also undergone great changes.
All players in the upper and jungle teams were replaced, including the Kairi-type top laner Huni and the current world's number one jungler, Peanut.
The overall style has changed.
With such more offensive teammates, Faker has also adjusted his positioning, changing from a core player in the middle to a support player in the middle.
Use your own containment and support capabilities to provide a good development environment for teammates on other lanes, and drive your teammates to join Carey and blossom more.
So the tactics have completely changed, and even Duke can't explain why now.
The child couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but there was nothing he could do about it.
SKT's bottom lane combination of bang and wolf are also among the best in the world, which puts a lot of pressure on him.
Broiler was leaning on the sofa without saying a word, staring at a certain place with sharp eyes. His entranced expression revealed that he was not at peace in his heart at the moment.
On the contrary, the conditions of Zao Sha and Chen Yu were relatively normal.
Leshai was sitting in the corner playing with his fingers idly, while Chen Yu was discussing today's BP arrangements with coach Mafa as usual.
Of course, the one who is least afraid is King Ning, who is even in the mood to joke: "Hey, if we beat SKT, will we become the biggest favorite to win this S tournament?"
"We were originally one of the biggest favorites to win the championship! SKT is only the second seed in the LCK."
Chen Yu glanced at him and admired Prince Ning's big heart.
Nowadays, SKT is a big mountain that stands over the professional teams. Facing the giant on the throne, King Ning is thinking about defeating him.
It is conceivable that the reason why King Ning was able to perform so many wonderful operations in his previous life was not without reason.
"Okay, SKT is just the second seed in the LCK. We are the first seed in the LPL. What do we have to be afraid of?"
Coach mafa finally stood up.
"RNG can defeat SSG, which shows that their strength is not inferior to SSG. Our strength is still higher than RNG. Why should we worry about not being able to beat SKT?"
"Shouldn't our concern be how to defeat SKT as quickly as possible?"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Mafa, and they didn't expect that Mafa, who was usually strict and serious, could actually say such a sentence.
Mafa saw what the players were thinking, but did not explain. He looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "I'll give you a task. Take down SKT within twenty-five minutes!"
