In this MSI competition, JD.com, as the second seed, needs to enter the playoffs.
However, according to JD.com's performance in the LPL, there is no need to worry too much even in the playoffs.
Before the start of the qualifying round, Chen Feng and the others were not idle either.
Either ask other teams to play training games, or watch other teams' games.
"I think we don't need to waste so much energy on T1 jungle."
While watching the T1 Spring Split game video, Luo Sheng expressed his opinion.
Because judging from the games he has watched so far, he feels that Oner's performance can only be regarded as personal, and it is far from the point where he needs too much attention.
Chen Feng and the others didn't say anything, they just watched Luo Sheng's analysis quietly.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Luo Sheng finally had no choice but to ask.
"Can you give me some advice? You're embarrassing me like this."
"You are a fake coach, what is there to be embarrassed about?"
Chen Feng's words made Luo Sheng suddenly confused and didn't know what to say.
There is no way, the person in front of me is the core of Taobo.
The only man who can punch Jack Love and kick Gemini!
……
In a fierce and unforgettable battle, the qualifying rounds of this mid-season invitational ended quickly, and with it came the beginning of the knockout rounds!
But because it was a double defeat, many teams had a lot of fault tolerance.
For Taobao, the only opponents are naturally T1 where Lee Sang Hyuk is and Samsung where Chaowei is.
As for Jingdong, they have lost the entire spring game. Even if they meet again, it will only be a step closer to seven captures.
……
During this period, Zhao Qianxi was in good condition.
Maybe it's because Genshin Impact has become more comfortable playing recently, but Ah Shui in the bottom lane still has the duality of god and ghost. He can carry out Kairi, but he can also stably kill suddenly.
Of course, the probability of sudden death is still relatively high.
Among the five people in Taobo, it was Song Yijin who had always been stable. Something was not right with him.
The main reason is that the middle lane is now filled with Cannon, Titan and Quisanti, making it really difficult for Song Yijin to perform.
Xiaopao is okay. After all, it is impossible for a professional player to say that he cannot play. At most, he is not good at playing, but Xiaopao can play with a little bit of effort.
But Quisanti and Taitan can't do it. Song Yijin can't understand it at all, if there isn't an Annie or a fox who can get it for him.
Maybe Song Yijin, who you can always trust, will become the breakthrough in this game.
……
As the knockout rounds progressed, Taobo met T1 in the winner's bracket finals as expected.
According to what is said online, the upper bracket finals can be said to be the finals of this MSI.
Whoever wins is basically the champion of this year. Although the losing team will still have a chance, it will have to be seen if it can defeat the team in the lower bracket. Then it may be hard to say.
……
"Qian Xi, you have to stay calm for the upcoming game. Lao Song is already wilting. It's up to you and Brother Ka to drive the early rhythm."
On the way to the competition venue, Chen Feng put a hand on Zhao Qianxi's shoulder and spoke slowly.
At the beginning, Zhao Qianxi and Jin Jianfu had a classic Yefu collaboration, so there was no need to worry about this aspect.
"What's wrong? Why is it so awkward for a madman to listen to you!" Song Yijin curled his lips and said a little harshly.
"It's not that I'm weak, it's just that the version doesn't suit me."
"You are all adapting to the version on your own initiative. How can you let the version adapt to you? Do you think you are just a small bath?"
"That's true." Song Yijin sighed, "But this is a cannon and it belongs to Quisanti, it's definitely a deformed version.
But Qianxi, you may have to work harder this time. ”
"Don't worry, brother Yi Jin." Zhao Qianxi patted his chest, "You know, the support on the opposite side is that guy Liu Minxi.
When I met him, I had no idea why I would lose! ”
Seeing that Zhao Qianxi was so confident and didn't take his opponents seriously, Kasa couldn't help but ask Ah Shui, "You are the one who taught you to be so confident and shameless?"
Ah Shui: "..."
He didn't say anything, just gave Kasa a look.
I don’t want to say anything anymore. Ever since this crazy bastard completely released his nature, his Weibo has never stopped.
To sum it up, I can just blame my buddies for whatever shit they throw at me. How can I be a 100% AD in the group?
"But if I play T1, I still maintain my opinion."
"What's your opinion?"
Everyone looked at Chen Feng.
“Just target them in the middle and we’ll be done!!!”
……
After a group of people arrived at the competition venue, many fans had already gathered outside and started cheering enthusiastically.
The two Triple Crown teams met again. It was an unprecedented lively event, and the online popularity was like a volcano exploding!
After getting off the car and looking at the enthusiastic fans, Chen Feng and the others waved their hands in response to the fans' enthusiasm. Then, under the leadership of Guo Hao, they walked into the venue and came to the temporary lounge to prepare.
In the lounge, Chen Feng reminded others again.
Because when playing T1, you just need to remember a few things, and just target the middle to death and that's it!
"Madman, is this all you know?" Song Yijin couldn't help but joke.
"Isn't this for you?" Chen Feng shot back, "I'm targeting the middle lane because I'm afraid you'll be beaten so badly that you can't take care of yourself."
"Yeah, yeah, I can't speak to you, so just shut up!" Song Yijin curled his lips, took out his phone and started watching T1's MSI game again.
"I don't know why, but I'm suddenly hungry!" Ah Shui said very suddenly.
After hearing this, Chen Feng casually pulled a banana from the table next to him and threw it towards Ah Shui.
"Hurry up and eat it, my buddy picked a big one just for you!"
……
The atmosphere here at Taobo is relaxed, but T1 is different.
After all, I have lost to Tao Bo many times, and now I have met him again. It is definitely impossible to say that there are no inner demons.
Especially if we lose, then this year’s MSI championship will probably be gone again.
For T1, which carries the hope of the LCK, the pressure of today's game is not small.
"Xiang He, you may have to work harder today. I feel that the other party may also target you!" Pei Xingxiong said seriously.
He knows very well what kind of pressure Lee Sang Hyuk has been under and what kind of comments he has been subjected to for the T1 team to reach this day.
After all, his era has passed. After those who once cheered for him have gradually left, the new ones will not care about him, the once famous Triple Crown winner!
"Yes, I know." Li Sang Hyuk nodded.
He had a premonition in his heart, or he had already prepared for being targeted in various ways today.
After all, the opponent's mid laner is not in good condition, and he is the core of the team, so it is normal to target him. But you can't just say that the opponent targets you and then wins the game and then dumps the blame on your teammates.
Just like the classic four-guarantee-one tactic, the one protected has a good record and high damage. This is what it should be, instead of saying backhand that his teammates can't do it!
Pei Xingxiong looked at Li Sang Hyuk who was moving his somewhat deformed wrist, and took a look at the four little ones around him who were silent and staring at him eagerly.
As a result, after coming into contact with Pei Xingxiong's slightly stern gaze, the four of them, Zeus, Liu Minxi, Oner, and their aunt, all lowered their heads in an instant.
At this moment, it feels like a son who has failed to live up to expectations and made a mistake. When faced with his father's hateful eyes, he can only dodge his eyes instinctively.
……
As time went by, the game between the two sides soon began.
Under the host's voice, four people from the two teams slowly appeared on the competition stage.
At this moment, the entire venue burst into enthusiastic cheers and applause, as if it was about to overturn the entire venue.
The barrage in the live broadcast room even started a special literary fight early.
[It is recommended to just declare victory directly, since T1 can’t win anyway! 】
[Start opening champagne in advance again? This is what the LPL audience is like! ! ! 】
[Being beaten by Samsung in the league and Taobo in the world stage, I don’t know why Tadpole is still so stubborn. 】
[When Sushi encounters a crazy animal, he immediately transforms into a little fanboy. His lane is no longer correct. His top lane is stable and is broken. I don’t know why T1 wins! 】
[Indeed, then do you want to see who sent Samsung to the loser group? 】
[Am I the only one who noticed that Zhao Qianxi seems to have gained a lot of weight? ! 】
[The case has been solved, this is how you play Genshin Impact! ! ! 】
[I play Genshin Impact, and I admit that we Genshin Impact players are like this. 】
[The crazy beast started yawning as soon as he sat down. I'm afraid he didn't work until late to bring glory to the country yesterday! ! 】
[Others go abroad to play games, but he goes abroad to fall in love and ride a horse at public expense. This is a big step ahead of others! 】
[In just this wave, the mad beast has already crushed all the professional players in the LPL. Well, those people who have never seen the world only know how to study the Mohist system! 】
[Don’t tell me, this bastard is crazy. Apart from having a bad mouth and being a bit crazy on the field, there seems to be no other scandal! 】
[Stop talking about it, the hatred of a bitch for taking his wife is not shared by heaven! ! ! 】
……
After a series of preparations, a familiar voice finally rang out amid various “not yet started” comments from the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Welcome to our League of Legends 2023 Mid-Season Invitational, the match between Taobo and T1. I am the commentator Guan Zeyuan!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Rita!!!"
In the commentary box.
After the three commentators briefly introduced themselves, they quickly got to the point.
"Today's game is very important for both teams. Not only whoever wins can directly enter the finals of this MSI Mid-Season Invitational!
It’s more about whether T1 can take revenge on Taobo, or whether Taobo can maintain its unbeaten record against T1! ”
“We all know that T1’s unbeaten record against the LPL in the Global Finals was broken by Taobo.
After breaking this record, they have also defeated T1 when they encountered it for two consecutive years! ”
"So, I wonder which one of the two teams Guan thinks has a greater chance of winning today?" Rita asked a commonplace question.
"I believe that the viewers have already seen my pre-match prediction.
But then again, predictions are always predictions, and the specifics will depend on the performance of both players. ”
It has to be said that Guan Zeyuan's words focused on not offending both ends.
……
In addition to the LPL, commentators from the LCK and other divisions are also analyzing the winning rates of the two teams today.
As for the barrage on the LCK side, it has almost shocked Zhao Qianxi and Song Yijin.
Forget about Song Yijin, many people joked about buy one get one free, but you Zhao Qianxi stayed well in LCK, and ended up going to LPL.
This is not a complete traitor, what is this! ?
……
finally.
While everyone is waiting.
The BP pictures of both sides appeared on the big screen!
When the camera showed Tao Bo, everyone could see Luo Sheng wearing a decent suit, wearing headphones, and holding his notebook in his hand, standing behind Chen Feng. He looked very presentable.
It's a pity that the director is a bit weak. If he had been more powerful and pulled the camera in a little bit, you might have been able to see that he didn't write much in his notebook.
……
"Huh? Ronaldinho, you really only record the key points!"
Chen Feng turned around unintentionally and happened to see what was recorded in Luo Sheng's notebook.
The IDs of five Taobo people were written on it, and then each of the five people's names extended a line to the other side. Finally, the five lines came together and pointed to Lee Sang Hyuk.
Seeing that the things recorded in his notebook were accidentally seen by Chen Feng, Luo Sheng quickly closed the notebook, blushed, and said with an embarrassed smile.
"Didn't I just make a simple summary of what you just said about playing T1, there is nothing to study, and we will be done with it in the middle!"
"Very impressive!" Chen Feng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
This scene was just captured by the director.
"It seems that Bai Jiao and Creator must have discussed very good tactics. Both of them laughed very happily!"
After Miller saw it, he naturally made a guess.
It's a good thing that he didn't know what was going on, otherwise he would have encountered the biggest challenge in his commentary career!
"Judging from the facial expressions of Taobo's people, it seems that they are not under any pressure. They are all talking and laughing." Rita also said something.
"Okay, we can see that the match between the two sides has officially begun!" Guan Zeyuan interrupted the two of them.
……
In the first game, Taobo was on the blue side, while T1 was on the red side.
Since he was on the blue side, Taobo did not press the fox's point, and wanted to let Song Yijin grab it first.
But T1 obviously didn't give this chance and simply removed the fox.
After the first round of moving, Chen Feng and others discussed it and finally decided to give Song Yijin a hand of Jace first.
"Taobo first helped Rookie grab Jace, but Quisanti and Titan were outside.
To be honest, if T1 is greedy enough, they can directly grab these two heroes! ”
