Chapter 131 The battle for the top spot!
On the second day of the MSI group stage, thanks to the outstanding performance of the two Ueno brothers, EDG was able to return to the hotel early in the afternoon.
"Brother Fan, come and watch the fight, hahahaha, I'm all bragging about you!"
Jack held the phone in one hand and thumbed it up and down.
“Europe and the United States are really getting the approval now!”
Within two days, EDG defeated TSM and G2 in succession, knocking the EU and NA division teams that had made a slight rise in international competitions in the past two years back to the bottom of the division!
Every major gathering place for netizens in the country, including Hupu, forums, post bars, Weibo, etc., as long as there are alliance players, there is a scene of noisy celebrations.
Some netizens in the forum are frantically sharing their experiences in comments from external forums. Netizens outside are even more aggressive than those in China. There are even extreme black men in North America driving trucks to deliver wreaths at the gate of the base!
"It's outrageous that these people wouldn't be so obsessive about watching a game, right?" Jack scratched his head at this point. Even though he was a serious fun-loving person, he felt that this was going too far.
"It's just gambling, otherwise who cares whether your club wins or loses? Normally, most of the audience watching the game is just for the excitement of the game!" Li Mufan leaned over to give him some knowledge.
"TSM's strength is really average this year, and it's not a version with a late-game core in the middle, so it's not very friendly to them." The director rationally analyzed the reasons for the opponent's three consecutive losses at the start of MSI this year.
The team had just arrived at the hotel, and the fourth game between Flash Wolves and TSM had ended.
Flash Wolves adjusted quickly after losing to EDG. Kassa relied on his radar-like sense of smell in the jungle to repeatedly counterattack the racial knights in the early stage.
The racial knight was just confused. How could the opponent keep catching his position when he was sure to bypass his vision in every wave of ganks?
"No wonder they are both called Casa Bay Factory. You two have the same sense of smell for reverse squatting!" Jack exclaimed while holding his mobile phone to watch the replay of the highlights.
In the mid-term, Flash Wolves continued to change lanes at a slow pace as always, and either the field of view here was not arranged clearly, or the field of view there was not arranged neatly.
The TSM team has a long history and deep foundation. Although their operating rhythm is not as good as that of EDG, SKT, SSG and other first-line teams, with the veteran Bilson in charge, they can still handle the Flash Wolves, who are not good at operations!
In the mid-term, TSM fought several waves of ambushes in the jungle and forced the team to open up, regaining its early disadvantage, and the two sides actually got back to the same starting line!
But in the later stage, the top and middle players of Flash Wolves engaged in a beautiful teamfight and cooperated with each other to explode. They suddenly won the teamfight and gave TSM a four-game losing streak!
"Hahaha! TSM's score is lower than GAM's right now. They won't win until the last game, right?" Jack put away his phone and prepared to go to the bathroom in the room to take a shower.
"It doesn't matter if they don't win a game. They won the last three games of GAM in the qualifying round quite easily! And it seems that they have no chance of winning against Flash Wolves in the next round." Li Mufan shook his head. Who would have thought that they could reach MSI last year? The North American seeded team in the finals will be hard-pressed to win directly this year!
Jack had the bathroom to himself, while the factory director and Li Mufan sat on the sofa watching the live broadcast of the game.
The next game is SKT versus G2. The game involving SKT attracted more attention on the Internet than the previous game between EDG and G2!
It’s enough to see the weight of the current SKT team in the league circle!
This game was also fiercely fought, and it was definitely enjoyable from the audience's perspective.
It cannot be said that SKT performed poorly, but that G2 has regained its momentum as the European hegemon!
Ah P got the mid laner Enchantress. Facing the Clockwork used by Brother Li, he frequently took the initiative to exchange blood. Naturally, Clockwork was unable to fight against the Enchantress in the early stage, and Brother Li was quickly consumed to his remaining health. .
Just as Brother Li stood behind the tower and planned to return to the city to replenish his health, Ah P directly flashed W and launched a surprise attack on Brother Li from outside the tower from a super long distance!
But Brother Li actually reacted at the critical moment. He ducked sideways to avoid the Enchantress' W [Devil's Shadow], and hit the Enchantress with a backhand QW and a ball.
Ah, P took this set of damage and went back with Fuji's W. He threw out the QE combo and then used a basic attack to trigger the thunder talent. He used his summoner skill to ignite and kill Brother Li!
Although the Enchantress was subsequently taken away by the second attack from the defense tower, there was no doubt that this was a single kill!
"If this were the previous Enchantress, the passive mark did not have 1.5 seconds to generate, and he could still walk away after killing someone!" The director stared at the screen and hissed: "Ah, the P is so fierce, why does it feel so normal when fighting us? ?”
"It depends on the situation. The guys in G2 have a good mentality. The more they fight, the hotter they get." Li Mufan stared at the screen of his mobile phone tightly without losing sight.
Killing Brother Li alone is still a valuable honor for the mid laner, and this wave of barrages is making crazy deductions of 6.
But from Li Mufan's professional perspective, this wave of P is not profitable, and there is even a small loss!
He led Li Li, but Brother Li led TP!
Before this wave of swaps, because P was originally pushing the line, the line of troops was slowly moving in the direction of SKT.
After Brother Li was resurrected, he immediately teleported back to the line and blocked the line of soldiers with his body to prevent them from entering the tower.
By the time Ah P came back online, he was already half a pipe behind on experience!
Even though Enchantress is still top-notch in preventing gank without double summons, her ability to take the initiative is much smaller.
Brother Li was able to grow steadily and became the fastest person in the game to reach level six!
Then he followed Little Peanut to the bottom lane. Little Peanut Blind Monk brought the ball into the field. Brother Li decisively used his ultimate move, and the shock wave instantly strangled the G2 bottom lane duo!
The situation suddenly lost balance.
The weak combat effectiveness of Clockwork in the early stage still existed. G2 took the opportunity to find many opportunities and successfully equalized the economy. However, in the middle stage of the development of Clockwork's lineup, the economy was the same as that of the Enchantress lineup, so the combat effectiveness was ahead!
During the Baron team battle, Brother Li once again hid in a dark corner, waiting for an opportunity. When he saw G2 Uenosuke coming over to check his vision, Brother Li took control of the three of them with lightning speed, and a high-volume explosion rolled all three of them into residual health. !
Everyone in SKT rushed forward and defeated the team like chopping melons and vegetables!
"It's broken, it's broken!"
Jack rushed out with his mobile phone in one hand, and the live broadcast of the game was played loudly.
"What's wrong? G2 is gone?" Li Mufan answered casually.
"You're the loser!" Jack grabbed the hair dryer and inserted it into the latch in the room. "What I want to say is, this SKT ended faster than our game against G2! We lost the race today!"< br>
"If you beat SKT tomorrow, you can say anything!" Li Mufan stood up and patted Jack on the back, jokingly saying: "The opponent is the bottom laner with a double S crown, so don't get involved when the time comes!"
When Li Mufan came out of the bathroom, the final game of the day between Flash Wolves and GAM had just ended.
In recent years, the overall strength of the LMS region has been failing to keep up with the other four of the five major regions. However, the Flash Wolves, as an ace team that has gathered talented players from the entire LMS region, can still win against a wild card team.
Moreover, the Flash Wolves have no intention of training the lineup or developing BP. They use what they are most familiar with in every game and try their best to secure a spot in the knockout rounds.
The result is that the GAM team is vulnerable to the Flash Wolves.
Kasa caught everything wherever he went. The shortcomings of GAM's online players being too weak were fully exposed in this game.
They can't beat Flash Wolves in the lane, and when Kasa comes, they can only surrender their heads and defense towers.
The second day of the group stage ended. Today, the three teams EDG, SKT, and Flash Wolves have all won two consecutive victories, and their points are far ahead of the other three teams!
"I didn't expect that G2 would be on the same level as GAM now, and TSM would even be at the bottom with 0-4!" The director lamented and sighed: "This world is so crazy. Now you say that the Flash Wolves were completely defeated in the second round and I believe it!"< br>
"Why Flash Wolves?" Jack asked back: "Why can't the other five teams lose in a row, not five teams?"
He shook his head and said in a pretentious manner: "Qi-chan, Qi-chan, even though you and Shi are the two largest traffic users in our LPL, you can't think about hacking others all day long!"
"You're in trouble!" The factory director grabbed Jack and put him in a chokehold and pushed him to the sofa to beg for mercy.
The third day of the group stage is coming soon.
"Dear Summoners, good evening to everyone in China, and good afternoon to everyone on the scene!" Guan Zeyuan stood behind the commentary table and waved his hands: "I am Guan Zeyuan! Next, it will be me and Miller, The two commentators, Su Xiaoyan, will give you a commentary on the first half of today’s game!”
Miller and Su Xiaoyan greeted the camera respectively.
There are three people, and they include two of the most popular male commentators in the LPL currently, and one female commentator with the best reviews. Many viewers in the live broadcast room were confused.
What's the big scene today?
But soon, they figured out why the commentary lineup was so luxurious today!
"The first game that will be played today is EDG from our LPL, facing off against the LCK and even the legendary team around the world, the founder of the Triple Crown dynasty - SKT!"
Today, the number of viewers in various live broadcast rooms in the country has exploded. The number of people online at more than 1 o'clock in the morning is even several times higher than the most popular time of the day!
At the same time, the barrage was also scrolling.
[If you don’t get hit by Linglong Tower today, it will be considered a success! Chicken rush in a different place! 】
[Laughing to death, is there such a blessing? 】
[To be honest, although EDG has won four consecutive games and SKT has lost one game, I don’t think EDG has a chance of winning against SKT]
[Nonsense, people are obviously playing against weak teams for fun. I’m afraid we need to get serious about playing against EDG. After all, those stick guys have always been unhappy with our LPL]
[Can EDG have some say? I admit that I can't beat SKT in BO5 in the knockout round. Can I beat SKT with something real in the group stage? 】
[I also think it’s too difficult to beat SKT in BO5. Last year’s Tigers couldn’t even do it, and RNG only captured twice in a year, but we still have a chance in BO1! 】
[If you can get first place in the group stage, according to this year's competition system, it won't be a problem to pick a weak spot in the knockout stage and reach the finals! EDG is in trouble, don’t let European and American criticism get on top of us again! 】
It can be seen that most of the audience is still a bit naive, and they have no intention of letting EDG face SKT to win the championship.
S5, S6, and 2016 MSI, after these three consecutive international events, the best result of LPL is to stop in the first round of the knockout round.
There are still people who think that LPL is the first division, which can only be said to be a bit brainless.
But at least we have to keep a second division, right?
It's so real to travel in the first round every year. Europe and the United States can win the semi-finals, runner-up, etc. no matter what.
In the past two years, Europe and the United States have been riding on my neck and shit, but this group of domestic surfers are disgusted!
"Many viewers must have been looking forward to today's game for a long time, and the result of this game will also directly affect the current group stage rankings!" Miller just arrived. After a full day's rest, he shouted in an excited tone Tao;
"Should EDG continue to overcome the odds and firmly hold on to their top spot! Or will SKT, after more than a day of adjustments, regain their form and return to the top of the list! We will wait and see!" After adjusting, finish writing the next two chapters, and then the group The plot of the competition is over, and the rhythm will be pushed quickly. Everyone, wait and see the finals!
