Before the MSI Mid-Season World Championship, the official announcement of the top 20 global professional players was like throwing a boulder on the already unquiet lake.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

This kind of pre-match list is too controversial.

After all, we all come from different regions and have never played against each other.

If you don't play the game now, you just make a top 20 ranking, who can convince each other among the fans of each major region?

Why are you ranked higher than me?

Or the championship will be awarded directly to the first person.

So don't say it's a fan, just after staying at the hotel, the little fat man Clid saw the ranking on the Internet.

I was in a hurry at the time!

He wasn't aiming at Li Xiufeng,

On the road, Dad went deep into his heart.

However, Doub in the middle of the lane feels more "mixed" than him this season, and he actually finished in the top ten.

Although at the bottom,

But he was outside the top ten.

This made Clid a little unbearable.

In this regard, Doub said happily, "The ranking of the poisoned milk list, why are you so serious?" ”

"Poisoned milk list?" The little fat man was stunned.

Zhong Xia, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea next to him, said with a smile, "This is what we say in Huaxia, think about it, Fist will publish this list once a year, but except for the man in your Korea, who is not milked alive?" ”

Hearing Midsummer's words, Clid thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.

I won't talk about the far away.

S4's Dade, officially ranked first.

As a result, the three-star civil war, gone.

Last year's Smeb, the official ranking was number one.

As a result, SKT pressed in the semi-finals.

It can be said that except for the man in SKT, no one else has escaped the official poisoned milk.

The little fat man was stunned, and suddenly couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's fine." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Xiufeng again, and said with a strange smile, "Among the three people on our list, it seems that Brother Fengzi is the highest, seventh... Tsk..."

Li Xiufeng couldn't help but turn around when he heard Clid's ill-intentioned evil smile, and said with a slight smile, "It's okay, Seven is not in metaphysics." ”

"What?" Clid didn't react.

The rest of the group smiled.

In the corner, Kake saw Li Xiufeng laughing, and he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything in his heart.

Seven is not in metaphysics?

How can it be...

Isn't there a seven-meaning in the dark?

......

On June 10th, the MSI Global Mid-Season Invitational officially opened, and a total of 13 teams were invited this time.

In addition to the teams in the three major regions of LPL (Huaxia), LCK (South Korea), and LEC (Europe), they directly advance to the group stage.

The other ten teams all started with the Play-In Tournament.

The play-in round was divided into two rounds, with the North American LCS and the Bend LMS advancing directly to the second round.

The remaining eight teams are divided into two groups of AB and compete in the B01 double round-robin duel.

The eight teams are:

Group A: FB, PVB, ISG, BMR.

Group B: MEGA, IEG, INTZ, DFM.

After the six teams were eliminated in the first round of the Play-In Tournament, the two teams that advanced to the second round will compete with the teams from LCS and LMS to determine the lower bracket.

The two teams in the lower bracket once again face off to determine the winner.

Finally, three of the four teams in the second round advanced to the group stage.

Then compete with six teams from LPL, LCK and LEC for the championship trophy of the MSI Mid-Season Global Invitational Tournament.

......

The play-in tournament took 10 days.

During this time, the three teams of KG, South Korean LCK and LEC were basically resting in the hotel while watching the play-in tournaments.

After ten days of watching, everyone found that although the play-in tournaments are basically wild card regions, the overall strength is lower than those in Europe, America and other regions.

But there are also teams with two eyes, such as Vietnam's PVB and Japan's DFM, both of which have left a deep impression.

But on the final day of the play-in, it is not surprising that there is still a gap between the wild card zone and the teams that can stand out from the tournament zone.

The TL in the North American division and the lightning wolves in the bend division all qualified, and the lower bracket Vietnam and Japan team competed for the last spot in the group stage.

Vietnam narrowly defeated Japan 3-1 and successfully secured the last place in the group stage.

At this time,

The list of this group stage has also been released.

The six teams are KG from LPL, KT from LCK, J2 from LEC, Lightning Wolf from LMS, TL from LCS, and PVB from Vietnam.

These teams will compete in the semi-finals of the Double Round Robin B01, with the final four teams challenging for the MSI Mid-Season Invitational title.

......

June 20, Yanjing.

It was a sunny day and the weather was nice.

Today is the opening match of the group stage.

The venue of the competition is the Olympic Sports Center, and the Phoenix Nest is the venue for the finals.

There are a total of six matches per day in the group stage.

KG's two opponents today are the PVB team from Vietnam and the TL team from North America.

One of these two teams is Vietnam's wild card dark horse, and the players in this wild card region can be said to be the most amazing and admirable players.

Because they hold a keyboard and mouse of twenty or thirty pieces, they can play an amazing operation with unparalleled sharpness!

This can be seen in the fact that they beat the wild card teams in the same wild card region but the conditions are much better, and they came out on top.

And the first game of today's group stage opening game is the match of the Vietnamese team.

However, the opponent of the first PVB game in the opening game was not KG.

It's the KT team, the champion team of the LCK, which beats SKT, and it can be said that it is a very strong opponent!

The first match of the group stage kicks off at 4 p.m. and opens two hours before the start of the game, with countless long-awaited spectators outside the stadium excitedly entering.

After a simple preparation, the PVB and KT teams walked into the soundproof competition rooms on both sides of the stage in the eyes of the audience.

Responsible for commenting on the first half of today, are the two official commentators of Yuan Ze and Wang Amnesia.

In front of the director camera, Yuan Ze lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile:

"Hello spectators and friends, welcome to the match site of our S7 Global Mid-Season Invitational."

"That's right, the two teams that brought us the opening match today are PVB and KT, one of these two teams is a Vietnamese dark horse, and the other is a KT Galaxy Battleship."

"Well, some people think that PVB has no chance of winning against KT, but I want to say that there is never a 10-to-10 game in our professional league, and the first game of today is still full of suspense."

"Speaking of which, PVB is also a bit miserable on the first day of the group stage today, the first game is LCK's Galaxy Battleship KT, and the third game is our LPL KG, all of which are famous strong teams."

“......”

The three commentators on the stage warmed up the event with every word you and me.

In the competition rooms on both sides of the stage, the players of the KG and PVB teams are debugging the equipment.

The newborn calves on the PVB side are not afraid of tigers.

Top laner Zeros, jungler Meliodas, mid laner Naul, bottom laner BigKoro, support Palette!

The five players, including the coach, looked excited.

Excitement is actually a good pre-game state, at least there is no competition tension.

will not hit the wild card as fierce as a tiger,

Playing a strong team is like a mouse.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the KT competition room, which is the top team and favorite to win the championship at MSI, is not excited, but relaxed and comfortable.

When the guide camera on the big screen arrived, I saw Smeb and Deft chewing gum on the game seat, and the two were laughing and chatting about something.

Score reclined in his chair on the side, twisting his chair in a daze.

The rest of the Pawn and Mata were relatively stable, and the two fat men lay back in their chairs with their eyes closed.

They all look like they're falling asleep...
