On August 27, at 11 o'clock in the morning, Chen Yu and others finally ushered in the first match of the group stage of the LOL exhibition event of this Asian Games.
The two teams facing each other are the Huaxia team and the Wanwan team.
The competition format adopted in the group stage is a BO1 double round-robin system. The top four teams in the group advance to the semi-finals. The first place will play against the fourth place, and the second place will play against the third place. The final two teams will be decided through BO3.
Team.
Only in the finals will there be a chance to appear in a formal event.
At that time, the competition format will also be changed to the BO5 that is common to the audience.
"Okay, after waiting for so many days, the group stage is finally about to begin! After this period of training and running-in, I believe the tacit cooperation of the national team will be further improved. I hope they can play a more beautiful game than the qualifiers.
.”
The group stage is different from the qualifiers. Although it is not an open event, there are still many channels for broadcasting.
Therefore, this time, Colonel Guan and others did not gather together to watch the broadcast. Instead, they each performed live crosstalk on the mic at home.
"It was the second game that our Chinese team played. The first game was between the host country and the South Korean team. They played so miserably that they didn't save face for the host country at all!"
While both players are still debugging their machines, remember to start teasing them.
The host country's games are usually arranged in the opening game. Indonesia's strength is not much better than the Japanese team. Naturally, they dare not arrange the Chinese team, which is the strongest on the surface, as the opponent in the opening game. It would be too ugly to lose.
But you can't choose a weak team with neither reputation nor strength as your opponent, otherwise it won't be enjoyable to watch and will disappoint the audience.
Therefore, the Indonesian team settled for the next best thing and chose the South Korean team, which was second only to the Chinese team, as its opponent in the opening match.
Unfortunately, their wishful thinking was wrong.
During this period, the members of the Korean team have been criticized by domestic fans, not only because the Korean team was beaten by the Chinese team in the qualifiers, but also because of the series of harsh words made by Hanzi, which also attracted many Korean fans.
dissatisfaction.
They narrowed the scope again and again, put forward harsh conditions, and refused to admit their failures. Some fans felt embarrassed.
At the same time, what fans are more worried about is that even if the Chinese team meets these harsh conditions and can win the Korean team, how will it end?
It is much better to honestly admit defeat and then retract your confession after winning than to be stubborn after losing.
E-sports does not believe in excuses, only in results. As long as you are the final winner, everything you say is irrefutable regardless of whether it makes sense or not.
Just like Chen Yu has been claiming that their IG is ranked number one in the world in all five positions, but no one dares to directly refute it, because no one can beat them so far.
Therefore, the South Korean team urgently needs to show its strength and prove that it has the ability to crush all teams and cannot tolerate another mistake.
So the poor host became the first unlucky person.
"The strength gap between the Indonesian team and the South Korean team is so big that we can't tell much yet. When the South Korean team meets Bayan or our Chinese team, we will know whether they have improved in the past few days."
The doll chuckled, and the sound clearly spread through the headsets throughout the four live broadcast rooms.
Only opponents who are relatively close in strength can see the real thing.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. Now that both sides' machines have been debugged, BP will begin soon! Now let me introduce the starting players of both sides for this game."
Seeing that the time for small talk was almost up, Miller quickly increased the volume and changed the topic.
"The Wanwan team has not changed much from the qualifiers. It still maintains the starting lineup of the qualifiers, top laner PK, jungler Bayba, mid laner Maple, and the bottom lane duo is Swordart and Morning!"
"The Chinese team has made another adjustment in the midfield and jungle, sending top laner Rang Di and jungler Xiangguo respectively. The middle and lower positions remain unchanged."
As Miller finished introducing the starting lineups of both sides, the screen provided by the live broadcast signal also changed to the BP interface.
"In this game, the Chinese team on the blue side took down Gem, Luo, and Kai'Sa first! While the Bayan team took down Sword Demon, Kalista, and Lucian!"
"As expected, the Chinese team has the right to grab first. If we take down the Bayan team, we won't dare to let out those heroes who are difficult to deal with easily!"
"Let's see what the Chinese team will grab on the first floor. Most of the strong heroes in the current version have been sent to the ban. The Chinese team has also killed Kai'Sa. It feels like there are not many heroes worth grabbing.
"
"The choice on the first floor is Morgana! Good guy, if you can't decide on Morgana, the Chinese team doesn't even want Kai'Sa, so they have to take Morgana. This is becoming more and more IG-oriented!"
Seeing that the Chinese team locked Morgana instantly on the first floor, the four commentators in the live broadcast room were also stunned.
Unconsciously, the hero Morgana's tactical status in the Chinese team has become as important as in the IG system.
[Originally, the team was built after imitating IG, and BP was assisted by Chen Yu. Isn’t it different? 】
[To be honest, this national team is really similar to IG. The top laner, Holy Spear, is a domestic version of Jasha. Isn’t the other top laner, Letme, a bit like last year’s Duke, stable within the stable? 】
[Also, what is the difference between Xiang Guo Xi Ye and Ning Wang Broiler? Oh, the factory director is an enhanced version of the kid who was in the jungle position back then. 】
[I won’t talk about Uzi, it’s a mature version of Jack!]
[I think it’s Jack in the Meat Suit, right? 】
For a time, the audience in the live broadcast room was talking a lot.
With some verbal hints from the explanation, the more these viewers thought about it, the more they felt that the Chinese team and IG were very similar, and that every player had their own similarities.
"The BayWan team chose Galio and Prince for the first and second floors! This is normal. After most of the strong heroes in the version have been sent to the top, Galio's system is always the most stable choice, especially if you want to use weak heroes.
To win against the strong, this system is indispensable."
"It's just a pity that the Wanwan team didn't recruit Casa to join the team, otherwise we could have seen the head-to-head confrontation between RNG's two top junglers."
Colonel Guan looked at the live broadcast camera and joked.
This statement immediately elicited a response from the person on the other side of the microphone: "Basically, these teams have not recruited players who have served in non-local leagues. In fact, at the beginning, I was quite looking forward to Chen Yu and IG's two Korean aids fighting in the civil war."
Remember, you don’t want the topic to focus too much on the Wanwan team and rush to divert trouble.
"Yes, Lao Sha is much better than the handsome guy. If the Korean team had Lao Sha, Holy Spear Brother might not be so comfortable during the qualifiers."
Miller heard this and quickly agreed.
"It is true that Lao Sha is more reliable than Hanzi, but if the Korean team recruits Lao Sha instead of Broiler? If Broiler also joins the team, will Li start or Broiler?"
Colonel Guan seemed to be a master at raising eyebrows, and one sentence made the topic become awkward.
"Since non-local players are not recruited, we cannot see how the Korean team solves these problems. Let's just watch the game first. The Korean team is also very strong now."
Wawa frowned and quickly changed the topic again.
The controversy over who is the best mid laner in the world between Broiler and Brother Li is the most intense.
Li Gesheng's historical record far exceeds that of Broiler Chicken, and he has received countless honors. It is no exaggeration to say that he is currently the number one mid laner in history.
But judging from the status of the past two years, Broiler is obviously better than Brother Li. This is a fact that has to be admitted.
After all, Broiler defeated Brother Li more than once on the world stage.
This kind of controversy is justified by everyone. Fortunately, the Korean team did not recruit broilers, which prevented the controversy from getting more intense.
"The choices for the second and third floors of the Chinese team are VN and Qinggangying! Audience friends, let's take a guess, is this VN the mid laner or the bottom lane?"
Looking at the VN selected by the Chinese team on the second floor, Wawa smiled and asked.
If it were IG, he would basically not consider the bottom lane in this VN, and he would definitely be aiming for Galio of the BayWan team.
But this is not IG, but the Chinese team with Uzi. The possibility of winning VN in the bottom lane is very high.
As for the top laner, since the Chinese team’s starting top laner in this game is Rang Di, I don’t believe that Rang Di’s hero pool has the choice of top laner VN.
"The player hero pool of the Chinese team is very broad. Xiye can play the mid laner Lucian, and the mid lane VN is definitely not a problem. It is very swingy. It really has the flavor of IG."
Colonel Guan also laughed, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
"The third floor choice of the BayWan team is - Karma! Well, there is not much consideration in this choice, it is just to compete for the right to the lower route and the group shield and group acceleration effect in team battles! It is an obvious tool.
Auxiliary.”
Seeing the Bay Area team's third-floor selection, Miller commented with both salt and cool.
At the same time, the second round of registration for both parties also began.
"The Chinese team chose to target the ADC in the bottom lane in the second round, and killed the policewoman and the cannon respectively! What kind of signal is this? Could it be that this VN still needs to use Uzi to play AD?"
When he saw that the Chinese team had eliminated the policewoman and Xiao Pao in the second round, Wawa's brows were raised slightly, and his expression became a little enlightened.
Policewoman and Cannon are both heroes with strong line pressure. One has a very long range, and the other has extremely high burst damage. As the level increases, the range will also become very long.
As we all know, VN's biggest weakness is its weak line, followed by its short range.
These two heroes can be said to crush VN in all aspects online, and even Uzi may not be able to gain favor.
So after the Chinese team chose to get rid of these two ADCs, everyone's first reaction was to pave the way for VN to go down.
"The Bay Bay team is targeting the top laner, Ornn, the Stone Man! I won't say much about the Ornn of the Emperor. He is the Orn Jinchuuriki, the Stone Man. It seems that the Bay Bay Team has studied us carefully.
In the qualifying match between the Chinese team and the Korean team, having the Imperial Stone Man hit back and hit four must have left a big psychological shadow on them."
Seeing that the Wanwan team had two heroes that they were good at in the second round, Colonel Guan couldn't help but laugh at them.
The stone man in the Emperor's qualifiers was really amazing.
Although the final data was 0-0-5, which meant that he was no longer eligible for MVP, the impression he left on people was definitely no less than that of Anne of Xiye Contelusian.
I believe that if Lucian had not been dealt with, Team Wanwan would still have had a headache with Annie from Xiye.
"On the fourth floor, Team BayWan chose EZ! Be steady. This hero may not be able to explode Kerry, but it is more stable and flexible. It is still difficult to die when you don't want to! There is also the support of Karma, no matter
If there is an accident, the bottom lane should be stable."
"It is also a wise choice to leave Kang Te's position in the top lane. If you want to beat the Huaxia team's starting lineup, the only chance is to break through the defense of Rang Di in the top lane, otherwise there is almost no chance of winning."
When I saw BayWan team choose EZ on the fourth floor, leaving the counter position to the top laner, I remember giving a little excited praise.
When facing the bottom lane combination of Chen Yu and Uzi, it is not easy to avoid being beaten.
Choosing EZ plus Karma, a bot lane combination with a high fault tolerance rate, is definitely the wisest choice.
In addition, leaving the counter position to the top laner can also preserve a glimmer of hope for the team.
Rang Di's two trump cards have been dealt with, and there are not many heroes that can be used. If Counter can be reasonable and have an advantage in the top lane, it may still cause some trouble for the Chinese team.
Obviously, this is a decision that the Bay Area coaching staff has made after careful consideration.
But unlike the Wanwan team who were cautious, the Huaxia team seemed much more relaxed and seemed to have a plan in mind.
After the Bayan team's EZ on the fourth floor was finalized, the Chinese team quickly locked down the fourth and fifth floors - Crocodile, Zelas!
[Zerath? Mid laner or support?]
[Have you seen anyone using Xerath as a mid laner now? Only support!]
[How can Xerath assist the VN? Is this going to be destroyed by others? 】
[The two of them have no interaction at all, they are just playing their own games?]
[To be honest, if Morgana is going to be the mid laner, Chen Yu might as well choose Ice Bird! Anyway, the opponent has no chance to choose Morgana and Wheel Mom.]
Seeing the Chinese team's choices for the fourth and fifth floors, the audience all had strange expressions.
Crocodile is the dominant top laner, a kind of snake oil. In LPL, every top laner has high proficiency, so there is no need to worry at all.
It's a bit strange that Chen Yu once again took out his champion skin Xerath.
The bottom lane combination of Xerath and VN is really hard to think of a combo. On the contrary, some people miss the VN Icebird bottom lane combination that IG used.
"This Xerath is indeed a bit strange, but Xerath's casting range is very long. If you play well, you can still suppress EZ and Karma. Chen Yu has great confidence in himself."
In the live broadcast room, Wawa frowned and expressed his words very tactfully.
EZ and Karma are both relatively flexible heroes. Unless Xerath's skill hit rate is extremely high, it is almost impossible to suppress Xerath.
However, when he pointed that ID at Xerath, the doll could only give him some face. If it were anyone else, he would have mercilessly concluded that the BP was a fool.
"Well, in general, the Chinese team's lineup is a bit eccentric. The top laner, jungler, and AD all rush into the formation. The middle laner is a support, and the support is a long-range poke hero. It's a bit incompatible!"
The senior colonel also frowned, feeling something was wrong.
At the same time, the final choice of the Wanwan team was confirmed, which made him frown even deeper: "Jes? The Wanwan team is an OKE system. With Galio and the prince's invincible system that can start and backhand, it seems that
