Chapter 125 Levi's five-kill male gun disrupted the group stage, and the European and American wars are booming again!
Today's second game is between Flash Wolves and G2.
Now the intercontinental competition has not started yet, and there is no gap between LMS and LPL due to the huge audience. The two regions belong to the same country and are called brother teams.
Everyone in EDG sat in front of the big screen in the lounge, carefully observing the games of these teams that would be their opponents in the future.
Although the LMS division has gradually declined in recent years, Flash Wolves, a team formed by gathering the strongest players in the entire division, still has a lot of voices in the division.
The top laner is Mimi Dan, the jungler is Kasa, the mid laner is maple, and the bottom laner is Betty + Snake.
This lineup brings together excellent thugs, hunters with keen sense of smell, and active team brains, and the abilities they can exert will definitely not be bad.
Not to mention that Flash Wolf was originally nicknamed the King of BO1.
At last year's MSI, they beat G2 in the opening game and defeated SKT twice in two consecutive days. Their record was outstanding!
Europe's new overlord, G2, is coming aggressively, vowing to take back the humiliation suffered at last year's MSI.
As a result, Flash Wolves had just watched EDG beat TSM, where the Race Knights were, in the opening game, and the crowd was in high spirits.
With the perfect performance of Casa Blind Sin, he suddenly made an economic difference of three to four thousand in the first fifteen minutes!
But unlike EDG who picked up the pace and quickly won the game, after the transition period, Flash Wolves' players got lost one after another and cut off their own snowballs.
"They are too careless in their mid-game play!" Meikuan said with a frown on her chin with her hands.
Four teammates were eating dragons in the bottom lane. Mimidan led troops under the second tower on the opposite side, but was immediately captured and killed by G2!
At this time, Baron Nash refreshed. Taking advantage of the absence of the opponent's top laner, G2 decisively gathered together to force Baron.
Although they were not fast at beating the dragon, the Flash Wolf had to bite the bullet and come over to take a look. As a result, they were forced to open the front with only a few people, and Kasa was also killed!
G2 then turned around and dealt with Baron, reducing the economic gap to less than 1,000 yuan.
The two sides were locked in a hard fight, which lasted for fifty minutes!
In the end, Casa found an opportunity and kicked G2ADC back to seal the victory!
"The blind monk at Casa is still awesome!" Li Mufan thought of the blind monk's wonderful show at Casa last year in the All-Stars, and was about to turn around and tease the director.
As a result, the factory director's face darkened and he transformed into An Kai, and Li Mufan immediately did not dare to make a mistake.
The next game is SKT’s turn against the Vietnamese GAM team!
On one side is SKT, who have just completed an unprecedented triple crown in the S-League that will likely never be matched again! The other side is GAM, the only wild card team to reach the main round through the qualifying rounds!
These two teams have many fans in Brazil and Turkey. The match between the two teams attracted more viewers than the opening match between EDG and TSM!
It was already close to five o'clock in the afternoon local time in Brazil, and EDG's game was the last game of the day. Abramovich had booked delicious food from a famous local restaurant in advance to satisfy his stomach.
However, during the competition, Abramovich did not dare to buy greasy and cold food, so the options were quite limited.
While everyone was sharing local delicacies, they were eating the games between SKT and GAM.
"Hiccup~" Jack held a barbecue patty in one hand and a taco in the other, "This pie is good. Hey! This taco is also good!"
"It's enough to eat a piece of cake, why do you still eat it in a big way?" Meikou shook her head with a blank expression on her face, and ate her own piece in small bites.
"It's delicious!" Jack's cheeks were stuffed with bulges. "Don't worry! You digest it quickly. You can digest it in two hours at most after you're full!"
Li Mufan also took a piece of barbecue cake. The surface of the cake was brushed with oil and grilled, and the oil was fragrant. The inside was filled with minced meat and spices. The meat juice spilled out from the edges of the cake when he took a bite.
Paired with the special sauce, the texture is rich and delicious. Li Mufan, who has always had good self-control, wants to have another piece.
But his eyes were quickly attracted by the game on the big screen.
I thought this would be a crushing game for SKT. After all, judging from the strength displayed by both sides before the game, there was a huge gap between the two.
GAM had a collision with TSM in the finals. After taking the first two games to gain an absolute psychological and momentum advantage, TSM, who had become serious, turned over three times in a row and was forced to chase three, losing the first place to advance to the finals. !
It would be fine if TSM was a strong team, but TSM was a team that was flattened by EDG in the opening game in 18 minutes!
The sample size of the training matches between SKT and EDG is huge, but they can always maintain a winning rate of 60 to 70%!
SKT＞EDG＞TSM＞GAM.
Most people probably viewed the strength comparison of several teams in this way before the game.
But it turned out not to be the case!
GAM was on the blue side in this round, and then directly copied the system from SKT with a male gun and mid laner Lulu!
SKT didn't expect GAM to make such a move. After all, before the game, GAM gave everyone the impression that they were a reckless man. The jungler leader (Levi) was really good at personal operations, but his offense was completely unorganized and even more spicy than spicy hotpot. pot!
As for the other four people in GAM, let alone them. They have to be disciplined but don’t operate, and they have to operate without discipline. The overall situation is a mess.
Even TSM can't touch it, how can SKT look down on its opponents?
The horse-knocking coach used GAM to practice when he came up, and he did the hard work of top laner Galio + jungler Xiaoju.
The intention of using a weaker team for scientific research is good, but the result is cruel.
Xiao Peanut and Xiao Ju are naturally incompatible. Even though Xiao Hei taught a lot of jungle design in the audience, they were still beaten by the soldier's male spear as soon as they came on stage!
The Soldier Commander is good at invasion and development. GAM gathers the resources of the whole team. The Soldier Commander's gun can be used wherever he goes. Even when he grabs waves in the bottom lane, he can eat up a wave of AD's artillery line!
Such an extreme resource tilt makes the development of soldier commanders significantly ahead of the little peanuts.
Once the male gun has an advantage in equipment, it will be unreasonable to start a fight!
When the soldier met Little Peanut in the wilderness, he directly used his E skill [Quickly Draw Gun] to get in his face. He hit the wall with his Q and then shot twice. Little Peanut was left with no health on the spot!
He handed over his flash and tried to escape, but the male gun's R [Ultimate Explosive Bomb] followed him like a shadow, and he quickly caught up and killed him!
"SKT is out of luck!" Li Rucan was a little happy.
"If you don't have a good relationship with them, why are you on GAM's side?" Jack was puzzled.
"You don't understand!" Li Rucan raised a finger and shook it, "If SKT loses, we will have a chance to compete for first place in the group! Then we will have the right to choose our opponents in the semi-finals!"
"Yes, if we can seize the opportunity to get first place in the group stage, it will be of great help to us reaching the finals!" Abramovich also agreed.
Don't underestimate the right of the group leader to choose his opponent in the semi-finals!
First of all, we must know that in the BO1 format of the group stage, strong teams cannot guarantee that they will win 100%, and weak teams can also use black technology to pull strong teams into the water!
Just like last year's MSI, SKT was double-killed by the Flash Wolves in the group stage. In the end, it ranked fourth in the group with 6 points, almost missing the knockout rounds!
But when it came to the knockout round of the BO5 format, SKT's strong team background came out. The black technology could win one game but not two. They easily won the championship with two 3:1 wins!
This is enough to prove how uncertain the BO1 competition system is!
The second point also refers to last year’s MSI.
At that time, RNG ranked first in the group with 8 points. According to the competition system, the first place beat the fourth; RNG met SKT in the semi-finals and was directly swept out!
This year, Riot Games changed the format because the strong dialogue between RNG and SKT took place in advance in the semifinals last year, resulting in a significant drop in traffic in the finals.
The first player in the group can choose their opponent, instead of having to play the fourth player in the group like before!
This avoids the situation where two strong teams meet in advance in the semi-finals and improves the enjoyment of the final.
And just when Abramovich was explaining to Jack the current situation of the MSI group stage, the game was gradually heating up!
The male guns trained by GAM through concentrated resources are indeed powerful, but the male guns cannot kill three lanes by one person; as long as the male guns go to one side, SKT will immediately concentrate their firepower on the other side to launch an attack!
It has to be said that SKT's operational strength is still strong. Even though it is 5,000 yuan behind in economy, it can still fight back and forth with GAM, and the exchange of resources does not fall behind at all!
All this ended at 28 minutes. The soldier returned to the city and found his sixth piece of equipment. The equipment column was already full!
"28 minutes of Liushen jungle?!" The director was shocked: "This team can play four guarantees and one better than RNG!"
Jack also looked at the soldier commander's last-ditch count with envy, thinking that if I had this resource, I might be able to get two Cs!
The soldier commander who got the Six God Equipment finally stopped re-issuing the development. He directly gathered all his teammates in the middle and opened the Baron in front of SKT!
The view is not limited!
Liu Shennan shot the dragon very fast. Before SKT could gather and rush to the front, the dragon had already fallen!
Then the five members of GAM teamed up and started to advance in the middle. The Six God Soldiers were followed by the mid laner Lulu and the assistant Karma. The two tool heroes kept their male guns and forced themselves into the SKT formation to kill three in and three out, winning the victory. The first five kills in this MSI!
The excitement at the scene even exceeded the time when Li Mufanjies had four kills!
After all, as the only wild card team left at this moment, many Brazilian spectators at the scene have placed their faith in GAM.
Little Peanut was left with a confused look on his face. He had no idea why Cuishen was selected for him.
Fortunately, he soon got the chance to prove himself.
After a short intermission, SKT fought back-to-back and went on to face the Flash Wolves in the fourth game!
One had just ended the game with five wild card kills, and the other was in high spirits after defeating the European overlord!
The two teams selected their melee combat lineups and started fighting each other from the first level!
SKT didn't play like last year's invincible team. They also began to fall into Flash Wolves' non-stop small-scale mantis model team battles, frequently taking on team fights that they shouldn't take from a God's perspective.
The friction between the two teams was constant, and the extremely fierce scene made the audience extremely excited, waving their hands and screaming!
The economy was badly beaten in the first twenty minutes. Just when everyone thought that SKT would suffer two consecutive defeats on the first day of the group stage, Flash Wolves could maintain their high BO1 winning rate against SKT;
The mid-game Flash Wolf canon begins with everyone getting lost in turn.
Little Peanut's Mantis harvested a few heads, and after Youmeng and Mu Ren, he made Armor Shoes and Night Blade!
Kasa Lee Sin was completely unable to fight against him, and the situation gradually turned to SKT's side.
In the 35th minute, SKT gave the Flash Wolves a wave of team elimination, ending the game.
The total number of heads on both sides was finally fixed at 63!
Then today's fifth game is also very topical, North American TSM versus European G2!
The relationship between these two divisions is like the relationship between LCK and LPL, they are equally powerful!
Moreover, it was 10 to 11 o'clock in the evening in Europe, a time when nightlife had just begun. Countless people turned on the live broadcast to watch this battle for European and American hegemony.
Based on last year's MSI North America's runner-up finish, while Europe failed to qualify in the group stage; at the beginning of the game, the European audience was so humiliated in the Mouse Channel live broadcast room that they did not dare to say a word.
But the scene soon changed as the situation changed.
Why do Europeans find this year's North American team, TSM, a bit vulnerable?
In this game, G2 is on the red side, but TSM's jungle race knight can't get a male gun on the blue side!
But G2 jungle trick is a master of male guns!
So this game once again became a good game for men.
GAM has previously laid out a standard template for the male gun to win the game, which is to give the male gun all the money and equip him with two soft assistants!
Soon the trick equipment was formed, and he rode on TSM's head with two assistants to pull shi.
But TSM really can't resist. The male gun developed in this way is a monster. Killing a person with three guns is not just talk!
Coupled with the shield being longer than the health bar, he couldn't kill him even if he wanted to, so he could only watch the male gun run rampant in his own jungle.
【No way? Can TSM win the LCS.NA championship at this level? It seems that North America is completely screwed! 】
G2 had the absolute upper hand in the situation, and European viewers who had been pretending to be dead for half an hour came to life in the live broadcast room.
[After losing to LPL and EU, who should lose next? Can you beat SKT? Can you beat GAM, which is stronger than SKT? It is recommended that TSM go home for vacation! 】
[It’s not far from Brazil to go home, or you can just swim back! 】
[Race Knight: I will bring victory to TSM. Fact: I don’t know how to play with a man’s gun! 】
At this time, in the EDG backstage lounge, it was their turn to play in the next game.
Originally, there was no pressure for them to face GAM in the Vietnam Division in their last game, but the opposing soldier's five-kill male gunner gave everyone in EDG a 'Vietnamese shock'!
Seeing this Trick killing randomly with a male gun again, Nofe's brows became tighter and tighter.
It’s not that the factory director has low proficiency with male guns. On the contrary, he kills all the male guns in his rank randomly!
Even in the LPL finals, his ranking record as a male gunner scared RNG coach Feng Ge and occupied one of the opponent's ban spots.
But only Nofe himself knows the actual situation. The factory director’s male gun winning rate in training matches is not high!
There are two reasons for this.
The first is the factory director's own problem. As we all know, ranking and competition are two different things. A hero who can play well in ranking may not necessarily perform well in competition. That's what the factory director is like.
The male gun hero needs to be independent and able to suck blood. The ranked director knows this very well, but as soon as he plays the game, he immediately becomes a jungler like a father, wishing that all the jungle economy would be given to the three-way thigh, and he would kill himself. Add another three hundred yuan to the thigh!
This kind of game idea can't win the male gun at all!
The second reason is Scout. He cannot play the auxiliary mid laner.
Scout's problem is very similar to Factory Manager's, both of which are that his personal style on the field does not match the hero he needs to play.
Scout is good at playing the rhythm assassin and the core mid laner, but the support and tool mid laners are a bit hard to understand.
In the past, in the LPL, they could use their ranking results to fool their opponents, but after the opening game, both EDG and TSM neither took nor banned the male gun, and many teams already had speculations in their minds.
It’s everyone’s consensus that the race knight’s male gun is very good, but the factory director, can’t he come up with a male gun?
nofe can be sure that these people will not give up the opportunity of trial and error in the group stage. They will definitely try to release male guns in BP to test EDG's mastery of male guns!
Because the male gunner has become the most popular jungle hero on MSI!
In this way, no matter whether EDG chooses or bans, the former will have no effect, and the latter will be banned, which directly shows that it does not play male guns.
If this shortcoming is exposed, EDG's subsequent BP will plant a bomb, which may be detonated by the opponent's black technology at any time.
"Mingkai, do you think your male spear can be used now?" nofe asked the player: "This hero is too strong now. If we never practice well, it will be difficult to BP in BO5!"
The factory director scratched his head and was a little silent.
When nofe saw this scene, he understood something in his heart, and his heart suddenly sank.
He turned to look at Scout, who seemed to have expected it in advance. He lowered his head and clasped his fingers in advance, avoiding the sharp gaze of Nofe.
The lively lounge just a moment ago suddenly became quiet. Jack looked around, feeling a little overwhelmed by the awkward atmosphere.
At this time, the game between TSM and G2 has come to an end. G2's magical male gun is rampaging in the team battle, and there is no one who can match it!
"Congratulations to G2 for defeating TSM and achieving a record of one win and one loss on the first match day of the MSI group stage!" The players in the EDG lounge also stood up and moved their bodies, preparing to go on the court and face the last game of the day. A game!
