Chapter 137 The three teams shared the same points and ranked first in the group!
In the second half of the third day of the group stage, the second round of round-robin competition begins.
EDG started from a weak team as always, facing GAM in the first game.
The factory director grabbed the male gun on the blue side, and this time nofe readily selected mid laner Lulu as his backing.
With the help of his teammates, the factory director treats Levi's wild area as his own to snatch resources from wild monsters. After finishing a circle, he can return to the middle to help 'push' two waves of soldiers!
The male gun's development is improving like a rocket.
The economy supplements equipment, the equipment improves combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness feeds back into the economy.
After a complete cycle, the factory director quickly entered the state of killing people and killing Buddhas. When he saw people, he would shoot two shots in the face!
The upper limit of male guns is the Liushen equipment. Before that, the influence of male guns on the game has been on the rise. There is no need to worry about being dragged into GAM's strong period.
Therefore, EDG did not rush to push it, but let the factory director have a good experience and avenge last year's All-Star kick!
"Great fight! Six consecutive wins! Congratulations to EDG!" Remembering to praise him at the end of the game, he said in a steady tone: "To be honest, I saw that EDG also used two men's guns and nothing went wrong. I feel relieved, the male gun is the son of MSI’s version without any objection. No team can avoid this hero regardless of the BP on the red and blue sides!”
Each of the six teams participating in the MSI main event has more or less its own unique skills, plus the top laner AD Kenan who was developed in the playoffs, the mid laner position Enchantress, and the two lanes Lulu, whose swing is top-notch, and Qinggangying and Jace, whose strength is also T0 in the hands of certain players, the red side has too many ban positions to bear!
These high-priority heroes can be taken by others but not by you. They are naturally at a disadvantage in terms of BP!
Especially for the blue side, heroes such as Male Spear, Kennen, Enchantress, and Lulu must be played well, otherwise the blue side's first ban, first pick will become its own shackles!
In the next game against Flash Wolves against TSM, Casa on the blue side still couldn't take out his male gun.
You must know that TSM has always banned male guns in previous games. Flash Wolves have a habit of thinking.
As a result, the race knight showed with practical actions that sometimes a person's talent has nothing to do with his character.
In just two days, he had mastered the male spear and was very good at it!
In the early stage, the racial knight only brushed a red buff and started to fight against the wild. Taking advantage of the displacement advantage of the male gun's E skill, the racial knight kept harassing Kasa's blind monk in the jungle and danced in Kasa's face.
When Kasa hands over the Q skill [Tian Yin Wave], the racial knight then uses E [Quick Draw] to easily dodge!
Without Q, the blind monk's damage dropped sharply in the early stage, and he was no longer able to compete with the male spear, and was chased out of the jungle by the racial knight!
With the early advantage, the male spearman's ability to snowball is not strong, but the time for him to develop into a strong stage is much earlier. In addition, everyone in TSM feeds the racial knights, and in the middle of the twenty-minute game, the male spearman already has a three-piece set. hand.
The racial knight used the scan to create a wave of Kassa in the jungle. AA started to empty the magazine, and suddenly flashed past the blind monk, but the target was aimed at the double C of the Lightning Wolf following behind!
When the gun is empty, the forward movement of the EQ skill of the male gun will be less to almost non-existent. From the perspective of the audience, this wave is the male gun with no bullets in the gun flashing and hitting people!
However, in less than a second, the race knight played EQAR, and the full-blooded Lightning Wolf Double C was instantly evaporated after the thunder damage burst out!
[What the hell! The male gun hurts! 】
[A flash of light killed the huge Lightning Wolf double C? 】
[Dear me, a jungler who doesn’t know how to use a male gun is really not worthy of playing MSI! 】
[He has to be the gangster godfather! 】
[Oops, TSM isn’t going to be a water ghost anymore, is it? It’s really that they can’t play until they’re on the edge of a cliff? 】
The sudden wave of attacks by the racial knights directly caused the Flash Wolves to lose two output cores. Faced with TSM's decision to turn back and attack the Baron, the Flash Wolves could only pretend to be invisible.
As soon as the Baron buff was obtained, the male gun went home and replenished the resurrection armor to add a fault tolerance. TSM played extremely aggressively during the Baron push, and Karma Group Shield directly led the charge!
With an economic lead of 8,000, TSM easily overwhelmed the Flash Wolves' defense. On the third day of the group stage, they won two games!
TSM's return to form continued until the fourth day.
When TSM faced off against G2 again, who was stronger between NA and EU? Discussions of this century issue filled the entire external broadcast room.
The result was that G2, which won the European and American battle in the first round, failed to hold on to its strength in the second round.
Facing the hot TSM, they only resisted for less than thirty minutes before being defeated, giving TSM their third victory and their own record to 2-4.
Now MSI has completely become a big brawl. Except for GAM, which only has 1 win, the remaining points difference between Flash Wolves, TSM, and G2 is very small. Anyone may advance, and anyone may be squeezed out of the table!
"Is this still the same TSM that was having a big brawl yesterday afternoon?" Jack was shocked: "The last game yesterday and this one today are not the same team as the previous TSM at all!"
< br>
"After all, TSM has Bilson and Brother Yegui, and the team's heritage is still there." The factory director entered the industry earlier than Li Mufan. He can be called a living fossil of e-sports. The glorious history of these well-known foreign players is all at his fingertips.
As for whether the factory director has ever served as a backdrop for other people's glorious history, it is unknown.
"This is the charm of MSI's competition system. Six teams advance to four in the group stage. There is enough time for you to adjust. Each team has the opportunity to reach its upper limit." Li Mufan said with great interest: "This situation is really impossible. Well, G2 has become the team most likely to be thrown out!”
"I really didn't expect that G2 and SKT were talking about it before the game. I didn't expect that it would take a long time to get into the state."
Next up is the experienced baby GAM. They have a world-class jungler. Levi is incompatible with the other four people in the GAM team.
Just like the king's power leveling who accidentally entered the golden game, even Bilson's one god with four eyes was not as exaggerated as him. Apart from the other four players in the wild, GAM was just here to make up the numbers and start the game.
More than half of the schedule was going on, and Li Mufan couldn't figure out how SKT lost a crucial point against GAM!
However, this is not an unacceptable thing for SKT fans. It is not just once or twice that Kuma likes to cause trouble in the group stage. SKT even lost four games in a row at MSI last year and finally won the championship.
Dunking a horse is like adhering to the brave philosophy of defeating all opponents to win the championship, and does not care who your opponent is in the knockout round.
He used the group stage as a training ground and chose the midfielder system of Leopard Girl + Time in the battle against GAM, creating a retro trend.
This was almost the most crucial combination for SKT to defeat the ROX Tigers in last year's S-Games!
In the semifinals, with ROX holding match point, Bengi relied on the elderly Leopard Girl to help SKT regain a set and even the score.
Now that Little Peanut has joined SKT, this Kuma considers the strongest candidate for Leopard Girl, which undoubtedly once again arouses Kuma's desire to test the strength of Leopard Girl's time.
"They seem to be looking for a way to restrain the male gun!" Nofe frowned. He knew the little peanut even better than the buckle horse. The leopard girl is to the little peanut like the widow is to the factory director. If you don't take it easily, take it out. Just win the key round!
"Leopard Girl + Time, don't tell me, judging from the first impression, you can really compete with the male gun!" The director smacked his lips, closed his eyes and simulated the game;
"The male gun has now cut off the magic resistance bonus of the pure men. The only weaknesses in the jungle are the spider and the leopard girl. But the spider is better at the early stage than the leopard girl; and after the leopard girl is matched with time, she can double poke in the late stage The system can also fight!”
"It seems that the two men's guns of the factory director and svenskeren have put a lot of psychological pressure on SKT in the past two days!" Li Mufan was optimistic and gloated: "It was originally the men's gun system they developed, but now it's better, directly Backlash! ”
"But now everyone is just on the same starting line." Nofe shook his head and disagreed with Li Mufan's statement: "If the Leopard Women are very effective against male guns in this era, then SKT can both master male guns and restrain male guns. BP’s initiative is still in SKT’s hands!”
Male guns are easy to learn, but neither Time nor Leopard Girl are heroes that can be trained enough to compete in top professional competitions in a short period of time!
Among the teams and players currently on MSI, except for SKT, it can be said that no team can play Leopard Girl well. Once it works, this will be SKT's unique trump card, just like EDG's Draven.
The team’s characteristics cannot be copied by other teams.
Levi still played very strongly in this game. He used the standard level two invasion of the jungle. He wanted to give Little Peanut a blow before Leopard Girl started to play.
But Little Peanut had long expected that Levi would come up with this move, so he went to the GAM jungle area to make an exchange in advance. Levi missed, and the two sides traded each other in the early stage.
At this time, the gap comes. Leopard Girl and Male Spear are both heroes who clear the jungle very quickly. The current version refreshes a jungle area in 2 and a half minutes, which is obviously much slower than both sides.
Taking advantage of this time, Little Peanut began to suck blood in the middle.
Levi is an old vampire, and the four of them met in the middle; but behind Levi is Lulu, and behind Little Peanut is Old Man Time!
Faker's very sophisticated two bombs forced away the displacement skills of GAM's midfielder and the male gun, and then equipped Levi's male gun with the E skill to slow down.
With the help of this slowed-down javelin, Little Peanut easily hit the target. The leopard girl changed her form, pounced on him and bit her twice, knocking out most of the man's health!
Levi handed over the flash in a panic, and in the first wave of battle between the two sides, the center and jungler won with a small advantage of Time Leopard Girl!
The factory director's eyes lit up: "The effect is good. The early outbreak of Leopard Girl is still too scary! Moreover, the male gun's jungle specialty is kiting, but he can't kite Leopard Girl, and the damage can't be compared. This SKT seems to be taking Down! ”
Faker is also old. Every time he fights, his bombs will either block his position or force him to move and flash. The effect is huge!
The ultimate move [Return Time] also allows Little Peanut to jump up and deal damage as long as he wins the bid, without having to worry about charging too fast and being countered!
Originally, the male gunner only needed to use a Demon-Drinking Knife to counterattack the Leopard Girl, but now the problem is that the little peanut is ahead in both level and experience. Even if Levi uses the Demon-Drinking Knife, he still has to face the problem of insufficient output.
In only fifteen minutes of the game, Leopard Girl once again achieved a super achievement, and then it became Little Peanut's personal show, arresting people and killing them everywhere!
"Little Peanut's upper limit is really scary!" In the air-conditioned venue, the director was sweating profusely. When he saw SKT pushing down GAM's crystal, he immediately turned around and poured a glass of iced Coke into his stomach.
"I feel like this SKT team is very strong, and they are really crazy when they are crazy!" Mei Kuan commented on the side: "Except for Brother Li, who is always online at all times, the other four players are somewhat unstable."
"SKT still has a lot of stuff, and now they have sealed the male gun we just trained!" Li Mufan's mind was racing, "I guess they still have a trump card, otherwise they wouldn't show the Time Leopard Girl at this time. To put it bluntly, their intention to use this system today is exactly the same as our intention to release Draven.”
"Disrupt the subsequent opponent's BP thinking!" nofe followed Li Mufan's words, "Unfortunately, they did it. We must now consider the Time Leopard Girl when we use the male gun!"
He turned his head to the factory director: "Mingkai, can you train Leopard Girl in these few days?"
"It's difficult." The factory director sighed.
"It's okay, a leopard girl is not enough to become a winning point." Nofe had expected it in his heart and did not show any disappointment. He knew that in a short period of time, he could train a hero that the players were not good at, and it also required high operation and awareness. The hero is always making things difficult for others.
Fortunately, EDG easily won the next two games against Flash Wolves and G2, leading the standings 8-0.
On the final day of the group stage, several teams arrived early.
Compared with the previous days, which were full of energy and sparks flew when meeting, the scene on the last day was a little less lively. Everyone was a little tired after playing for five days in a row.
On the other hand, GAM, which has only one point, has lost the opportunity to advance early, and G2, which has only two points, is currently hanging on the edge of the cliff.
Flash Wolves have accumulated four points. They only need one more point to surpass G2's theoretical maximum points. There are also extra games to guarantee. TSM has three points. If they win two games, they will definitely advance. If they win one, it depends. The expressions of the other two teams.
EDG easily defeated TSM in the first round.
Even though the race knights and the double Cs in the team are all getting better, TSM's performance is still a bit too weak in the face of EDG, which is completely crushed by hard power.
In the end, a Linglong Tower was played, and the base was leveled by EDG in 26 minutes.
Winning this game also means that EDG has secured the top spot in the group in advance.
Their current record is 9-0, and even if they lose to SKT in the final game, they can still guarantee 9 points; while SKT lost two games in the first round, and can only score 8 points at most!
On the way down the field, EDG bumped into G2 players coming on stage to change equipment for the next game.
Facing EDG, which had beaten them twice in the group stage, G2 not only did not keep a straight face, but instead happily rushed up to them and gave them a thumbs up, and pulled the director and Jack to say something with excitement.
However, both of them were father-in-laws and couldn't understand at all, so they could only ask Li Mufan to tell the story on their behalf.
"They said they thanked us for winning against TSM, which gave them more hope of qualifying!" Li Mufan smiled and conveyed the meaning of everyone in G2 to his teammates.
"Oh! This!" Jack realized, he waved his hand nonchalantly: "Spread the water, teach a European and American guy a lesson. Oh no, just teach a TSM a lesson, it's just a casual thing! No thank you, no thank you!"
< br>
Li Mufan was also helpless. Fortunately, the people in G2 couldn't understand Chinese, otherwise he would have had an offline PK with Jack.
He turned around and used a few simple sentences in English to wish G2 a complete victory and advance, and said he was waiting to compete with them in the knockout rounds.
The two sides parted ways, and EDG returned to the lounge, waiting for the final game to come.
I thought it was the last day of the group stage, with EDG and SKT occupying the top two spots in the standings, and GAM being eliminated early, so there wouldn't be much fun.
As it turns out, it turns out that those who are ranked in the standings are often the ones who understand the game best, and they can always make the suspense of promotion come to the last moment!
TSM won GAM and ended the group stage with four points.
Although this score is not many, when TSM lost four games in a row at the beginning, not many people believed that they could win four of the next six games!
The Flash Wolves were in a worse situation. They lost two games in a row. The way they walked off the field dejectedly was in sharp contrast to the high-spirited G2 next to them who had won two consecutive games!
Until EDG stepped onto the field to play the final game with SKT, which was the last main game of the group stage, it had not yet been decided which teams would advance!
TSM, G2, and Flash Wolves all have 4 points!
Three teams play off!
Such a magical plot made the audience wonder if the organizer had some inside story to make it more topical!
Of course that's not the case, and Riot doesn't need to recruit a few teams that are on the verge of advancing to the knockout rounds to increase popularity.
When SKT and EDG stepped onto the stage and were about to play the last match that would not affect any rankings or promotions and was almost equivalent to a performance, the barrage was still discussing this magical "three teams sharing the same points".
A game that does not affect the situation, even if the two sides are SKT and EDG, cannot attract the interest of the audience.
Because this has lost the most exciting part of watching the game. Having secured first place in the group, EDG stepped onto the court briskly, preparing for the final battle with SKT!
