At noon the next day, after lunch, the TL team quickly came to the venue of the group stage of S9.

Like the play-in round, the group stage was also held in Berlin, Germany, but the address of the competition was changed, from the previous LEC studio to the Berlin verti concert hall - although it sounds ordinary, but in fact, this concert hall is equivalent to the music hall in Germany, and it is the residence of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, with an extremely strong artistic atmosphere, so after coming in, even Tang Xiaotang, who was originally leisurely and leisurely, couldn't help but have a tight face, a serious expression, put down the half bag of yogurt in his hand, and took out a tissue, Elegantly wiped his mouth.

While waiting in the background, like everyone else, the TL team also watched the first three games carefully in the lounge, first SKT defeated FNC, then RNG defeated CG, and finally IG defeated AHQ - it was the same ending as expected, and there were no upsets.

Among them, if you want to talk about the degree of excitement, they are quite average, like SKT playing FNC is a big score crushing, and for example, RNG and IG also have absolute strength suppression when playing against CG and AHQ - SKT, RNG and IG are not short of major tournament experience, and it is unlikely that there will be a start overturn.

Then in the fourth game, it was TL's turn to play DWG, which was also one of the highlights of the day.

Of course, theoretically speaking, TL's strength should be above DWG, and the No. 1 seed playing the No. 3 seed is not a sure win, but in fact, neither side can make up their minds about this result before they have played.

In particular, Tang Xiaotang also knows that in the parallel world without her involvement, although DWG is the third place in the LCK, it will qualify with the first place in Group D, and IG, which won the semi-finals later, is not the opponent of DWG.

Maybe DWG is really good at playing BO1?

Soon, after everyone was in place, Tang Xiaotang also took the keyboard and mouse to his seat next to his camera, waiting for the game to start.

Her opponent in this game is DWG's mid-laner showmaker, one of the LCK's super mid-laners, and before the World Championship, the main core personnel of the entire DWG were the showmaker in the middle lane and the bull encouragement in the upper lane.

This is naturally an opponent that should not be underestimated, and it is interesting to note that showmaker's hero pool is very similar to her, for example, showmaker himself is also an Akali pillar force, and both teams are completely full of priority in Akali, and for example, he also likes to play Yasuo and Ruiz, which also happens to be Tang Xiaotang's hero who shines on MSI.

Therefore, this mid-lane clash will be a big attraction.

A moment later, amid the cheers of the audience, the two sides finally entered the BP link.

As in the past, in terms of BP, Tang Xiaotang and Coach Cain are basically responsible for the discussion, and although others will put forward opinions, they are not absolute.

"The Titans can't be put down, the angels are also banned, the late heroes are not suitable for our system, and don't let the other side take it." Tang Xiaotang.

"The robot is now a T1 assist, do you want to try it? Oh, it's olleh, that's fine, I thought it was corejj. "Coach Cain.

“？？？” olleh。

"Xiao Zi, now the spider is a T1 jungler...... The other side is banned.,That's bothering.。 "Tang Xiaotang.

"How's Kiana?" Cain Coach.

"Akali is gone, the spider is gone, then grab Kiana for me, DWG definitely didn't know I was going to play this, hehe."

"The other side is banned."

"Grass."

……

Soon, after two rounds of BP, the lineups of both sides were also chosen.

The TL on the blue side is Niko on the top laner, Wild Boar Girl, Mid Dan Cannon, and Kaisha + Luo on the lower lane.

The DWG on the red side is the top single Jace, the jungler blind monk, the middle single Sindra, and the lower road Xia + female tan.

Followed by......

Entering the game, Tang Xiaotang stood at the entrance of the wild area, and then began to dance in place.

The small cannon she chose is also a popular mid-lane hero in the current version, mainly because of its high explosiveness and strong ability to play the line, and it is very useful to use it for a crispy mage like Cante Sindra - Sindra has six levels in seconds, and she has the ability to kill Sindra alone at three levels.

Of course, the proficiency of the small cannon is also temporary, and I haven't played it before, so to the vast majority of LCS viewers, this hero choice seems extremely unfamiliar and unsettling.

"Mid-laner cannon? Sister Zaozi, this is the first time to play this, right? ”

"She doesn't have this hero in her rank record, is it a secret weapon to practice secretly with a trumpet?"

"Possibly...... And when he played FNC today, didn't Brother Li play a mid-laner cannon? It feels really fierce. ”

"It's very average if the showmaker can't get the assassin hero, it's hard to rely on a cow to encourage a single tree, TL should be able to kill indiscriminately, right?"

North American netizens have a lot of discussions, and most of them are optimistic.

But soon, with the first-level invasion of DWG, the smiles on the faces of North American netizens gradually disappeared - TL guarded the entrance to the wild area, but DWG was a chicken thief, and walked directly down the route in a group, and they seemed to know where the senior brother liked to stand on the triangle grass and squat, and the female tan's E skill with a blind vision pointed out the senior brother.

So, because of the vastly different combat effectiveness of the first-level regiments on both sides, first the senior brother was defeated and the double summon was defeated, and then the pig girl who rushed to support was also knocked out of most of the blood, so she could only go to the upper half of the Lan Kai in a hurry.

In other words, it's only been a little more than a minute into the game, and TL's lower road and wild area have already exploded, and if nothing else, the blind monk can easily get the opportunity to open three BUFFs, while the pig girl can only open a single BUFF, and then silently stealth, brush the wild to make up for development.

"This start is very hurtful, I can only hand over punishment and play blue, and DWG's top road is Jace encouraged by the cow, and I'm afraid Momiji won't dare to change the wild area, right?"

"Doublelift and Olleh's bottom lane is not easy to fight, everyone is not in good shape, and the double summons are all gone...... The early design of this wave of DWG is also too perfect, and it directly gets a huge early advantage for the wild area and the bottom lane! ”

"There's a routine, DWG!"

The LCS commentators immediately became nervous when they were still at ease just now, and they were naturally full of trust in TL, feeling that as long as there was a jujube combination on the field, they would be invincible, even a Korean team like DWG could easily defeat it.

But judging from the current situation, DWG is obviously very researched on TL, and it also makes the red leaves in the jujube combination start small.

So, in the case of not being able to get the help of Momiji, can Sister Zaozi support the TL team alone?

A minute later, as Pig Girl brushed the wild in the wild area and temporarily lost her voice, DWG's jungler canyon sneakily went around to the middle lane.

And what shocked the LCS commentators even more was that this canyon seemed to be hanging, and it actually very spiritually bypassed the eye position inserted by the small cannon - just kidding, you probably wouldn't have played a training match with TL before the game, why are you so skilled when you go around the eye position?

How many times have you watched the TL game video?

In this way, after the success of the eye wrapping, this wave of gank will be very easy for Canyon, and when Showmaker pushes him twice in a row, he can follow the sky sonic wave silently.

"The blind man is going around, Xiao Dongjube's current position is very dangerous!"

"It's over, Xiao Dongjujube jumps his face! Can this wave be replaced? ”

Soon, under the regretful gaze of the LCS commentary, Xiao Dongzao's little cannon was seduced by Sindra, so he took the initiative to jump his face and hung up the E skill to a crazy A.

But with the unexpected factor of the blind man, this wave of kills could not be realized, first he was stunned by Sindra's backhand, he ate the blind man's heavenly sound wave, and wanted to hang the ignition to change it, and was resolved by the blind man with W's shield, and finally finally exploded the E skill, brushed out the second W and wanted to escape with the flash, but was chased to death by Sindra's ignition + basic attack, and an extra flash was wasted.

So, at the time of three minutes, Tang Xiaotang took the lead in sending out a blood.

"Flash grave move?"

"One thing to say, such an obvious seduction of Xiaodong jujube was fooled, it really shouldn't be."

"The main thing is that the eye position is around!"

"It's really a matter of eye alignment...... And the red leaves can only brush one and a half areas now.,The other three and a half areas are all blind.,This wild area is caught by a blind man and has to be flashed.,How to fight? ”

"I feel that TL has been thoroughly studied by DWG, and it is clear where there are eyes!"

People in the LCS live broadcast room were panicked.

Yes, it's not uncommon for TL to have a bad start, but the jujube combination has a bad start together, and that's a big deal.

And DWG showed their unparalleled understanding of TL in this one, as if what you would do in the next second, they had already guessed in advance.

In the face of such a well-prepared DWG, it seems that even if the invincible TL really rolls over, it seems that it is not impossible.
