MSI Mid-Season Invitational.

It's not too important to say that this game is important, because for the audience of the LPL League, they will always only recognize the champion of the S game. The winner of the MIS Mid-Season Invitational? That's just the icing on the cake.

In the previous life, the IG team did not have the MSI Mid-Season Invitational champion, and they ever gained fewer fans than the RNG team?

"What are you kidding, we're definitely going to try to win the championship."

"This is a champion!"

"Don't you want to win a Grand Slam!?"

On the plane, the members of the RW team also gathered together and exchanged opinions with each other.

In the face of such an exchange, Chen Zige's words became relatively domineering.

He doesn't talk to his teammates about bells and whistles.

Julius Caesar once said, I come, I see, I conquer.

At this time, the players of the RW team sat on the plane and had a great view of the mountains.

Chen Zige's heart is naturally full of pride.

Nothing else, no overthinking.

Champions, only champions.

What about the G2 team?

What about the SKT team?

We're here to win the championship anyway.

The plane soars high in the sky, and the white clouds are everywhere you look.

On the contrary, it made Chen Zige look a little melancholy. Then he turned his head and looked at his teammates around him, and his teammates were one and they were sleeping soundly.

Chen Zige smiled and fell asleep groggily.

As soon as he got off the plane, Chen Zige turned on his mobile phone, and suddenly saw that the expression on the face of the team leader next to him was not very good: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's G2 that's alive again."

"Oh? What do they say? ”

"They said that this year's RW team will definitely lose badly, and there is no way for the LPL team without Korean single-line players to defeat them." The team leader said.

When Chen Zige heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Is it so ruthless? It's a G2 team. "For the pre-game work of the G2 team, Chen Zige certainly knows it.

This team has always been like this.

After S8 eliminated the RNG team last year, this little-known team has attracted a lot of fans in the LPL region.

This group of viewers doesn't necessarily say how much they like the G2 team, mainly because they hate the RNG team, plus e-sports is a typical Mu Qiang, S9's G2 team changed the bottom lane combination, and introduced the genius mid-laner Caps, which swept all the way in the EU region this year.

So it attracted a lot of fans.

Seeing that the MSI Mid-Season Invitational is about to start, many fans are following the movements of the G2 team.

So when such a sentence came out, it instantly detonated public opinion.

Needless to say, fans who like the RW team are angry when they grasp this sentence.

And the fans who like the G2 team say that they are right. If it wasn't for Doinb last year, it wasn't certain that your RW team would have made it to Worlds.

More of them are neutral fans, saying they don't care too much.

Chen Zige himself didn't care too much: "Trash talk before the game!" It's normal, just don't be affected by them, let's see the real chapter in the game. ”

Brother Saint Gun squeezed over from the other side: "That's it, can't we clean up SKT, can't we clean up the G2 team?" ”

The older generation of players like Brother Saint Gun came from the dark era of the LPL.

I've experienced the experience of hard to win in the hands of a team in the LCK region.

It may not be able to be revealed in normal times, but in such a subconscious statement, I always think that there is still a little gap with the SKT team. It's not really that you think SKT will be as strong as it is.

It's just pure thinking.

A subconscious thought.

Chen Zige is much more bland: "Don't talk nonsense, G2 has to clean up, and SKT has to clean up too!" ”

Brother Saint Gun listened to Chen Zige's words, and his heart trembled: "The other side is the Triple Crown King, Zige, can you talk and don't care so much?" ”

Chen Zige pouted.

What about the Triple Crown?

……

……

May 1.

The MSI Mid-Season Invitational has officially begun, and the players of Team RW in the Play-In Tournament haven't even put much effort into research.

It's not about conceit.

Instead, they all agreed that if even the teams in the play-in tournament needed to be studied, then the RW team would not need to participate in this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational.

Taipei is not far from the mainland, so it is better to swim back directly.

After checking in to the hotel in Taipei, the RW team also hurriedly started the exciting training camp again.

During this time, many domestic teams still began to return to the base one after another.

There will also be transfer windows opening between seasons.

And when the MSI Mid-Season Invitational is over, there will be another round of German Cup matches, and many teams will have to return to their clubs in advance to prepare. So during this time, the difficulty of RW team training matches has been reduced a lot.

In order to find their competitive state in advance, many domestic teams even took the initiative to come over to make an appointment with the RW team for training matches.

In the end, there was no way out, and the RW team had so much time every day, so they could only find some teams whose strength was recognized to make an appointment.

Time passed slowly.

On May 7, the last place in the group stage was also finalized.

It is a reckless team PVB in Vietnam.

There's not much to introduce to this team, but they actually have a little bit of a crossover with Team RW, and Team Ren, the head coach of Team PVB, participated in the Play-In Tournament of last year's S8 season.

Then he was beaten by the RW team, which also needed to start from the play-in tournament at that time.

He retired and became a coach this spring.

Most of the other players are also local players from Vietnam, and their strength cannot be said to be strong, but they don't need to care at all.

On May 10, the group stage officially began.

After the schedule was announced, the audience was also gearing up.

The first day of competition was more intense, with SKT vs. G2, FW vs. TL, PVB vs. RW, and SKT vs. FW.

Because there are six teams in total, the schedule for the group stage is relatively simple.

The six teams fought each other and played two rounds, all of which were BO1, and the RW team needed to play a total of market matches.

The bottom two players will be eliminated.

The top two players in the points ranking will face off in the semi-finals with the bottom two in the points rankings.

The first place plays the fourth place, and the second place plays the third place.

May 10 at 5 p.m.

The opening match between SKT and G2 is also officially underway.

The players of the RW team just exchanged glances with each other, and then honestly put down what they were doing and rushed towards the big screen in the lounge.

Neither of these teams is a weak team, and for Team RW, it can even be said that both teams are serious contenders on the road to the championship.

I'm sure to take a good look at the two teams of [New www.xxbiquge.xyz].

The opening game was just one such opportunity.

"Come here, come here!"

"You have to watch today's game!"

"We're going to have a game today, right? SKT seems to have two games, let's see the situation first. ”

In the lounge, the members of the RW team were also constantly talking at this time.

On the big screen, the VCR consciousness that the contestants had previously shot was playing.

Faker looked up at the clear blue sky and said the most ruthless words in a calm voice: "Last year's results in the LCK region were not good, and this year I am back, I want to be more dominant in the LCK region, starting with MSI." ”

The moment Faker appeared on the big screen, the barrage in the live broadcast room also emerged like a frenzy.

“Faker！”

"Brother Li is awesome!"

"Legends never go out!"

"Guapi, you're here?"

"The Great Demon King!? It's just an ordinary mid-laner. ”

“……”

In the midst of a flattering barrage, occasionally one or two bizarre barrages will be mixed in. But no matter what, I have to admit that the ID of Faker and Lee Sang-hyuk have such magic.

He was able to impress almost the vast majority of LOL viewers and players around the world.

Even in the past two years, his skills and operations have lived up to the peak, and he was even pressed on the bench for a time.

"Brother Li, it's been a long time since I've seen him at the World Championships." Even Brother Saint Gun couldn't help but sigh when he saw this video.

How could he have imagined that he would one day be on the stage of the MSI Invitational and compete with the players of Team SKT?

Chen Zige didn't say a word.

On the stage, the host has already begun to introduce the personnel.

The players of the G2 and SKT teams also began to appear one after another at this time.

The competition is about to begin.

……

……

The opening game ended faster than many people thought.

Even the final result was very surprising.

The ratio to head is 7:2.

7 is for G2 and 2 is SKT.

The game lasted 26 minutes, and the G2 team came out on top in the opener to win their first MSI Mid-Season Invitational.

After watching the whole game, even the players of the RW team were slightly surprised.

Compared to Team SKT, Team RW's players are actually a little more familiar with Team G2.

They thought that the SKT team would start to show the unparalleled strength of this year's LCK region in the group stage, but they never imagined that the SKT team would lose so simply in the first game.

"Brother Li didn't stand up." With his left hand dragging his chin, he thought about it for a long time, and finally blurted out such a sentence.

Faker used his hero Tsar in this game.

There were 297 knives in the whole game, which exceeded the timeline.

But when SKT's crystal base officially exploded, Faker's Czar had a 1-1-0 record.

The left hand was right, Faker didn't play the whole game as many people thought before the game.

At least it was too far away from Galio, who was in S7 and covered the sky and the sun.

Chen Zige heard it and sighed slightly: "Brother Li is still old." ”

"There is actually a little bit of a problem with the lineup of the SKT team today." Chen Zige's final conclusion is relatively clearer and more concise.

He felt that the SKT team was not very unjustly lost in this game.

From the end of BP at the beginning, Chen Zige was not optimistic about the performance of the SKT team.

"Jace, Reze, all the swing positions are released."

"Xialuo, who went down the road, was also handed over to the G2 team, and it is normal to lose."

"Let's see if their subsequent BP strategy will be adjusted accordingly."

Chen Zige finally came to such a conclusion.

In Chen Zige's view, the reason why he lost this game is actually not very related to Faker.

Although Faker did not incarnate as the Great Demon King to make a single kill in the lane, he was actually worthy of the performance of a world-class mid-laner player.

After all, Caps, the mid-laner of the opposite G2 team, is not a weak player himself.

The steak coach sat at the front, and after watching such a game, he also said quietly: "Let's be careful, after all, we can't have any thoughts about underestimating the SKT team when it comes to interviewing the SKT team." ”

The steak coach still said that he should not underestimate the enemy, even if the SKT team is now beaten by the G2 team, the RW team should maintain a corresponding attitude.

Regardless of the outcome, the opener between G2 and SKT came to an end.

The rest of the game was still going on in an orderly manner.

It's just that compared to the first opening game, the star level of the subsequent games is far less high.

It wasn't until 9 p.m. that Team RW had their first fight.

Face off against the Vietnamese team PVB!

Before the official start of the game, there was actually far less attention paid to this match than it was in the opening game.

But those viewers who closed the live broadcast room in advance expressed great regret after the game.

Because of the bloody nature of this game, audiences all over the world began to cheer for the teams in the LPL region.

24:37。

This is the distribution of heads in the audience.

24 was obtained by the PVB team.

The 37 was won by Team RW.

The game lasted for a total of 33 minutes, and both teams were basically fighting for 30 minutes.

The PVB team is a typical Vietnamese bandit style.

Coincidentally, Team RW wasn't at all timid when it came to fighting them.

If you want to fight, I will fight.

As long as you dare to start a group, I dare to take it.

The fight between each other is called a hot one.

In the end, so many people broke out, so many viewers were convinced.

Even in the live broadcast room, many viewers said: "I was sleepy in the first two games, but after watching the RW game, everyone was in a lot of spirits, and they turned the summoner's canyon into a big brawl." There are yours. ”

In fact, after the game, the steak coach had a rare tantrum in the post-game lounge.

The audience thought it was exciting, but the steak coach had a different opinion.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!"

"You guys fought too much today, how could you have been almost pushed by the PVB team on the high ground at one time?"

"This is a wild card team, do you know!?"

"If we had changed to SKT or G2, we would have lost our first game!"

"You can't relax, you can't have anything to underestimate the enemy."

"We're going to play the G2 team tomorrow, and you can't do it like this."

The steak coach spoke bitterly to the players of the RW team.
