After the brutal qualifying round.
Next is the group stage where the top teams from each division will enter.
The first match was a duel between FNG. As the host of the European division, Caps playfully showed off Lee Jae-wan’s favorite Gale Swordsman.
The on-site commentators thought this was just a joke.
It won't be locked down eventually.
What I didn't expect was.
The preparation started in the first game of the group stage.
Choose to play Yasuo against the hot version of Ryze.
In order to prevent Ryze's rune imprisonment and jungle GANK, Caps brought purification.
With the protection of the Purification and Wind Wall, Yasuo happily stepped forward to slash in lane. Before he could feel comfortable for a few minutes, he was mercilessly arrested by the founder of the "Reckless Jungler", Mala Xiangguo.
Do you have a purifier or a wind wall?
It doesn't matter.
Olaf and Ryze will kill you with hard damage.
Caps was attacked by GANK many times in the early stage.
If there wasn't a jungler squatting next to her, she would have died so many times just because of Yasuo's energy.
The third game is SKT versus the North American team TL.
As a team that also relies on bottom lane carry.
The arrogant way the senior sister used to talk before the game is still the same as before.
She said that she was the strongest ADC in the bottom lane and would not feel intimidated no matter who she met. The host also smiled and asked her what she thought of the two ADs, Su Yuhang and UZI.
Hesitated for a while.
She still gave a fair opinion.
It can be said that these two players are relatively top players. Whether it is laning details, team battle operations, finding their own output positions, and leading the team to victory, they can be regarded as first-rate.
The host also took the opportunity to ask the senior sister, "How good do you think you are?"
Doublelift's answer is naturally "first-class" with full confidence.
For the TL team.
SKT doesn't know much about it.
We just had a match in a training match a few days ago.
No surprises.
Still, the game ended with the three core players in the middle, lower and jungle positions.
According to Li Zaiwan's words, only the bottom lane duo can play back and forth, and the other lanes...it's like the Korean server's master qualifying match, with no coordination at all.
Otherwise, how could this guy Li Xianghe suppress his opponent so comfortably?
When saying such sarcastic words.
Li Zaiwan completely didn't notice that the bottom lane where he was was also being taken care of by the middle and jungle.
Almost as long as the other party has the intention to take action.
Blank's jungle position and Faker's mid laner will be in position nearby.
What was originally a fair two-on-two situation suddenly turned into a one-sided four-on-two situation.
"The coach plans to let sister Junzhi and I go first," Li Xianghan said. They are currently in the official viewing room, watching the first game of the MSI group stage.
The interface is still in the BP stage.
It is consistent with what Jin Zhenxun guessed.
FNC, who had the right to ban first and choose first, locked Kai'Sa without hesitation.
Regardless of whether it is the LCK or LPL competition, this new hero has been used to achieve a high winning rate, and it has even evolved to the point where as long as Kai'Sa is defeated, half of the game will be won.
"We can also grab Kai'Sa as a hero." Jin Zhenxun stared at the screen, "Except for the low level A range, there are almost no shortcomings."
Plasma passive high kill.
Stealth acceleration of E skill.
Quick entrance to the ultimate move.
All of which give this girl from the void possessing terrifying combat capabilities.
"If we want to grab Kai'Sa... shouldn't we let Su Yuhang go?" Li Zaiwan raised an eyebrow.
Su Yuhang’s Kasana is obvious to all. How many top LCK bottom laners have been beaten to the point where they can’t take care of themselves. If such a powerful player is not allowed to play, is this an initiative to hide a big killer?
"It's mainly due to the competition system." Jin Zhenxun explained, "Each team can only carry one substitute. After weighing the pros and cons, we can only use Su Yuhang as a substitute."
MSI's rules are more stringent.
Each team is only allowed to bring one substitute to prevent emergencies.
Counting official team members.
A group of six people.
You can bring many team members for sparring.
But there are only six spots on the playing list.
Naturally, Su Yuhang couldn't watch the game off the court, and Pei Junzhi also performed very well.
If it's above average...it can only be said to be average.
I hesitated for a long time.
Kim Jeong-hoon just wrote his name on the list.
In the first week of the game, Su Yuhang and Pei Junzhi took turns playing. Li Xianghan served as the support. Both ADs have partnered with the new assistant Effort, so there is no need to worry about their tacit cooperation.
"No wonder the coach asked Su Yuhang and Xiang Han to double rank in rank this week." Li Zaiwan pouted.
There is definitely a sense of loss.
But she herself also knows the principle of ‘selecting the best from the best’.
If the coach hadn't taken the initiative to retain him.
She has no plans to play this season.
Judging from the training results, the partnership between Su Yuhang and Li Xianghan worked well, but what was missing was just the running-in time.
"Junzhi and Xiang Han will play in the first game, and Su Yuhang will play in the ten o'clock game against RNG." Jin Zhenxun arranged the staffing.
The strength of TL's team can only be considered to be in the middle or upper reaches.
But RNG is different.
Each position can be considered strong.
Especially the classic partnership between UZI and Ming in the bottom lane.
It is common to suppress the last hit, and if you are not careful, you will be killed by the opponent.
Facing such a powerful enemy.
Naturally, Su Yuhang has to play against him.
"It feels like the schedule of this mid-season tournament is very tight." Lee Jae-wan couldn't help but mumble. "There are five games a day, from the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening. If something goes wrong in the middle, wouldn't it have to last until midnight?
"
She has already adjusted her mentality.
Started to complain about the organizer's competition system while eating snacks.
"The World Championship is like this. In addition to grabbing points from strong opponents, you also have to withstand the pressure of the game." Kim Jung-hoon said. "This time it was pretty good. Only the group stage schedule was tight. After the group stage, there were almost two or three games."
Genius has a game."
She looked through the schedule.
The first stop is Berlin.
As soon as the group stage is over, the whole team has to go to Paris.
There is a long rest period in between.
"It's just sitting here anyway. I'll buy dinner for everyone later." Adhering to the fine tradition of shining brightly, Lee Jae-wan took the initiative to shoulder the logistical responsibility of buying meals for his teammates.
The first game starts at five o'clock.
Calculated as one game per hour.
The third game was scheduled until 7 o'clock, and the last game was at 10 o'clock in the night. With such a long interval, how could these team members, who had not even had time to eat dinner, hold on.
This is just an expected timetable.
If the interval between games exceeds one hour.
It has to be postponed indefinitely.
The girls are fine.
Su Yuhang can't do it.
I had a cold and fever after eating ice cream last time.
Can you still perform well if you go on the court hungry?
"Just bring one portion," Jin Zhenxun said. "Eating too much will make you sleepy, and your reaction speed will plummet. Su Yuhang has several hours left before the game, so it's okay to eat a little."
"Other players eat chocolate to cushion their bellies before going on the field."
The reason for letting Pei Junzhi play first.
There are also considerations in this regard.
After the first game, you can eat in the lounge.
Su Yuhang's condition has been adjusted and he can continue the relay.
She has chosen the restaurant.
Chapter completed!
