In the three LPL games on the first day of the S game, two teams, BMG and AG, lost the games one after another.
All this seems to remind people of the nightmare S game last year, and the barrages in the live broadcast rooms of all major platforms exploded.
"Clean up and go to sleep, everyone!"
"This is the invincible LPL, it's really funny."
"When you get MSI, you think you are in the first division. But in the S competition, you still show your true colors?"
"Stop shouting, stop shouting, don't we still have a KG?"
"One thing is for sure, KG is most likely to be EDE from the year before last."
"Even if it's EDE from the year before last, is it okay to get a DFM?"
"It's hard to say. Didn't EDE almost get sent away by the Vietnamese team in the S game that year?"
"Indeed, anyone who can enter the S competition is a weakling, right?"
"..."
The barrage in the live broadcast room flooded the screen.
Backstage, in KG's training room.
"We have a long way to go this time."
Coach Long looked at the defeat of the two brother teams and couldn't help but shook his head.
Link, the manager and team leader next to him, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter that we have a long way to go. It's not just the end of the road. Our team will not talk about it later, but we must endure it today."
After finishing speaking, Link looked at Xiaoyao and others around him.
Although it was the first time for Xiao Wei and Zuo Zuo to enter the World Championship, they were lucky enough to be drawn into a group. Knowing that they were playing Japanese team DFM today, they were quite relaxed at first.
But people are group animals and are easily affected by the environment and atmosphere. Suddenly seeing the two LPL brother teams' results on the first day being so different, everyone was inevitably a little nervous.
As for the last team on the first day, the DFM team from Japan, the atmosphere in the competition room was one of high morale.
The DFM team is undoubtedly a strong team from Japan. Their mid laner even has the title of "Japanese Little Faker". This small island country can carry the dreams of all island country lolers.
But today, this young man who finally broke out of Japan and entered the S competition met this year's MSI champion team KG in the first game of the first game!
According to the island country RPG, this is like a novice brave entering a dungeon.
As soon as they opened the door, they encountered a fire-breathing dragon grinning at them.
If this had been left to others, they would have bowed their heads long ago, turned around and gone home to wash themselves and go to sleep.
But DFM is different. When the competition is approaching for this group of teenagers from the island country, everyone has a blazing flame in their eyes.
"Mina-san (everyone)!"
In the lounge, DFM's head coach cleared his throat and clenched his fists heavily.
"Please remember! How did we get here? How much did we pay along the way! Just to get here! Please do your best!"
"KG...he is a really strong opponent."
Yutapon, the AD of the team, wiped his mouse, licked his lips and said, "It's so powerful that my heart starts to tremble, this damn desire to win!"
Jungler Steal stretched out his index finger and picked up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes glowing with a cold light of reason.
"The possibility of us defeating KG, no matter how we calculate it, is 0.01%, but if we don't show our sword, there is no doubt that it is zero!"
Mid laner Ceros, known as "Japan's little Faker", looked up at the ceiling and murmured, "Oji-san, when was your most glorious moment, for all of Japan?"
"And for me, it's now!"
After hearing the words of several teammates, top laner Evi smiled boldly and said, "Mina-san, since we have come this far, let's win vigorously!"
Support player viviD suddenly raised the keyboard in his hand, "Go forward courageously, this is our path!"
"Daddy!!!"
It's on fire!
Completely on fire!
I feel the passion in your body, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of DFM's head coach's mouth.
This is e-sports!
...
On the commentary stage, Mi Le and Yuan Ze analyzed and lamented the losses of the two LPL teams.
Facing the disappointed audience at this time, they could only comfort everyone that this was the first day of the competition.
Besides, isn’t there KG in the last game today?
After AG and BMG lost, the audience in China shouted "Ye Qingjie", "uninstall the game", "wash off and go to sleep" and so on...
When the KG game started in the middle of the night, the number of people watching the game on all major domestic platforms increased instead of falling. The Shark platform alone had 30 million viewers.
In fact, this is understandable.
Three words.
Not willing to give in!
No one will be willing to do so.
So when the KG game started in the middle of the night, many spectators quietly turned on their computers or turned on their mobile phones in bed to watch the game.
This suddenly directly pushed the number of domestic viewers to the highest peak on the first game day.
...
On the stage, the KG team with a "steady" pace and the passionate team DFM with a pace that does not recognize their relatives, the two teams took the stage at the same time, and the foreign audience gave appropriate cheers.
Judging from the reaction at the scene, this is far from the enthusiastic atmosphere of the European and American audience when SKT and BMG played the first opening game.
There is no way, the most glorious moment for the KG team on the international stage is MSI.
But after all, MSI is a mid-season invitational tournament, and it is also held in Yanjing, China. Foreign audiences watch the game through online platforms, and they are really not familiar with KG in person.
At this moment, not long after the two teams came on stage to prepare, BP started.
In this game, DFM is on the blue side and KG is on the purple side.
DFM banned Li Xiufeng when he came up and Ruiwen became famous on the world stage, and gave him enough respect.
There is no way, although Riven is not a strong hero now, MSI Li Xiufeng's Riven is so overbearing that even Smeb was knocked down by him.
The purple square KG doesn't have a big head.
Seeing this scene, many viewers in the domestic live broadcast room started commenting.
"Has the turtle started?"
"Please stop Datou and don't let him go."
"The blood of thousands of people was written in Ban Datou."
"..."
At the same time, in KG's game room.
Xiaoyao couldn't help but glance at Han Yunlong, "Coach, we really can't beat Datou? The hero pool of the mid laner on the opposite side only has three heroes, Datou, Heimerdinger, and the Great Inventor."
Han Yunlong glanced at Li Xiufeng with a wry smile, then turned to Xiaoyao and said, "Don't tell me this, tell your brother Feng. Brother Feng has been discussing this with me for a long time before the game."
"We discussed it for a long time? How come we didn't know?" Ah Shui asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xiaoyao didn't dwell on this. He looked at Li Xiufeng and reacted in his heart, "I understand, Brother Feng wants to meet the man!"
Xiaoyao leaned back slightly, smiled and clapped.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! If we ban most of today's games and lose, even if we win, foreign audiences will say that we can only beat the wild card teams in the LPL division, and we won't even dare to let go of other people's heroes.
, but Brother Feng’s skills..."
Xiaoyao's analysis is reasonable and well-founded.
The next second,
His words came suddenly.
...
During the game, the DFM on the blue side saw that KG had no intention of taking the big head, so they did not take the big head in the first choice and chose to grab the jungle hero Blind Boy.
So immediately afterwards, they were stunned to find that the first two hands of the red square KG took the prince, and in the second hand they chose a hero that they never expected.
Heimerdinger, the great inventor.
???
Question marks popped up on the heads of everyone in the DFM team.
Chaos!
Confused!
During the entire BP that followed, mid laner Ceros was almost in a sluggish state, and was finally assigned a Time Guardian by the coach.
At this time, the lineups of both sides also surfaced.
Blue square top order DFM:
The top laner is Big Tree, the jungler is blind, the mid laner is Old Time, and the bottom lane is Ice and Titan.
Purple square KG:
The top laner is Big Head, the jungler is Prince, the mid laner is Ice Girl, and the bottom lane is Vayne and Thresh.
The blue side DFM's lineup was relatively normal, but KG's choice of a big player immediately caused the entire European and American audience to exclaim.
Isn't it, brother?
These days, can Datou still be able to place orders?
DFM's mid laner Ceros spent a long time measuring the height of the seat, but unexpectedly, Li Xiufeng intercepted him halfway and snatched the hero away.
He was also full of doubts at this time.
At the beginning, Ceros saw that the opponent was taking the lead and it was understandable that he would take the lead instead of banning.
But what is your approach to placing orders?
On the LPL commentary desk, the ones responsible for commentating the second half of today's game are Wawa and Mao Shen.
"Wow, in our last LPL game today, KG wants to use the opponent's strongest spear to defeat this opponent from Japan."
"That's right, I can understand KG's thinking."
The cat god scratched his chin and asked doubtfully, "But Brother Feng, the top laner and the big head, I can't understand. Can the big head play in the top lane?"
"Hmm, and Brother Feng's top laner doesn't have teleportation yet. His two moves are weakness and flash. Do you still need weakness to hit a big tree?"
The commentator on stage couldn't think of a reasonable explanation.
On the big screen on the stage, the game has officially begun, with both sides having a Thresh and a Titan.
Playing against KG as the No. 1 seed in the LPL, if it were another wild card team, they might be more cautious.
But DFM, this group of hot-blooded young people from the island country, is different. After a brief period of shock, the blood in their bodies has been ignited again.
"Oh! He directly hooked Titan's Q!"
"The Japanese team played very aggressively. They knew KG had Thresh and yet they dared to play like this. It seems that the Titans hooked up and didn't want to come back."
"That's right, Xiaoyao's prince was retained, and DFM handed over two flashes."
"But Taitan can't go back here. This wave of head swaps between the two sides."
"..."
Soon, First Blood was born.
The blue side DFM got first blood, but Titan was also handed over by Thresh's backhand hook.
Two kill prompts appeared on the big screen, and the two sides exchanged blows.
After the first group ended, as expected, the director showed the camera to the top road first.
etc?
What about the people on the road?
Many spectators were stunned for a second.
On the road, the army line has not yet come up. DFM's top laner, Big Tree, is placing the "Little Son" in the grass against the wall on the road. It seems that he wants to trick Li Xiufeng.
The problem is,
Li Xiufeng is not on the road at all at the moment.
"Uh...where is Brother Feng?"
The commentator on the stage was talking, and at this moment, the director's camera suddenly disappeared.
"Jungle area? What is Brother Feng doing with the blue buff on the opposite side?"
"Oh! He is setting up a fort. Is he trying to steal mana?"
"No, it's hard to steal in a professional game, isn't it? The opponent will definitely come and take a look."
"..."
However, what happened next shocked everyone in the audience.
DFM's blind jungler has a red in the lower half, but no one comes to the top to see the blue buff.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiufeng used three turrets to successfully counter the blue buff on the opposite side.
"This... DFM is so careless!"
"I don't think we can blame DFM for being careless. The main reason is that both sides played a first-level group in the lower half of the game at the beginning. Brother Feng was also there at the time. DFM may not have expected that there would be a wave of flattening and another wave of rising."
"Now the top laner has a blue head, tsk tsk, that's a big tree to bear."
This is true. The three turrets that come with the hero Big Head are very powerful in pushing the line.
Although Li Xiufeng came online a little late, he quickly pushed through the three forts.
With the blue buff, at the second level, Li Xiufeng had already crushed the big tree under the tower and consumed it.
By this time, Li Xiufeng's fort formation had changed from the previous straight line to the current triangle.
The triangular placement can prevent the opponent's AOE skills from demolishing the turret, and can also prevent early ganks in the jungle.
DFM's top laner, Evi, was full of enthusiasm and took out the big tree to become the toughest front row in this game. Unexpectedly, he was pushed under the tower by his opponent at the beginning.
The key hero is also particularly disgusting. When the opponent has a blue buff and doesn’t have to worry about mana consumption, top laner Evi is simply in hell on earth.
This is a little different from what I thought!
right!
Blue buff!
The blue buff of all the horse-trampling monsters.
"Brother, why don't you beat blue first?" The top laner couldn't help but said to the jungler, "This blue really disgusts me."
Then why don't you take a look? Steal, the jungler, complained in his heart, how could he open blue as a blind guy?
"Brother, don't panic, I'll come to help you catch him at level three," Steal said.
At this moment, Ceros in the middle suddenly said, "It's too late."
"What's too late?"
"Level 3 is too late."
Steal reacted immediately after hearing this.
This hero, Big Head, needs to be ganked as early as possible, preferably before level 3 on the road.
If you wait until he reaches level 3, then the opponent's top laner will definitely also be at level 3, and it will be difficult to catch him by then.
As the jungler of DFM,
Steal has seen his mid laner dominate the mid lane in Japan's LJL on more than one occasion.
One shows two in the early stage, one shows three in the later stage.
That big head still has a blue buff on him. If you want to get back his blue buff, you have to go up and catch the big head on the opposite side before it reaches level three.
When he saw his top laner learning Asian bondage at the second level, jungler Steal licked his lips as if he was a shark smelling blood.
That's it now!
After the blind boy took the red, he ran straight up the road.
At this time, Ceros in the middle said calmly, "Give me the eye and I'll teleport."
"Is it necessary?" asked the top laner.
Ceros in the middle replied, "Just in case, the opponent's top laner is the core, we must make sure to kill him."
The commentator on the stage also discovered this scene.
"DFM center and jungle linkage, top lane three to catch one?"
"This is only two levels! Isn't it too cruel?"
"Well, it seems that DFM came well prepared today and has studied KG thoroughly."
