On May 2nd, as JDG defeated TES to win the championship, the entire LPL spring tournament has come to an end, and the players involved in it have finally been given a period of vacation and rest - due to the epidemic situation, the competition has been suspended for a month for February, and the entire LPL spring tournament has been reopened, the schedule is incomparably tight, and there are two or three bo3s to play every day, and now it is finally over, and there is a feeling that the high school juniors have finally survived the college entrance examination and ushered in the summer vacation.

However, for the LPL's playoff semi-finals, the good days are short-lived.

For some inexplicable reasons, with the support of Riot, the official suddenly held an alternative MSI in the context of the epidemic, that is, MSC's China-South Korea match, which led to the fact that when the players of other teams were enjoying the holidays, the players of the four teams JDG, TES, DME and IG had to return to the training state in advance to deal with the upcoming MSC - if you don't play well, you can't do it, because this game is of a foreign war nature, Whoever wants to fight a foreign war and fails to fight it properly will be ridiculed as a phantom god of civil war by the whole network group, especially when the outside world generally believes that LPL is stronger than LCK.

So, after almost half a month off, in late May, despite the players' unhappiness, the base still quickly put into training, and on May 28, in the group stage Group A, the MSC opener match with SKT was played.

……

"Come on, LPL!"

"DME kills you! Crush SKT to the master! ”

"It's over, it's over, this kind of confrontation, it's too embarrassing if you don't win."

"Indeed, I think we are so lost, we should win in the first division, and if we lose, we will be ridiculed by the Koreans in the first division."

"Don't panic, at least believe DME first, at the level of the five emperors of the LPL, which one can't go to the LCK to play the spring duel?"

"IG can't."

“……”

On the afternoon of the 28th, there were still about ten minutes before the start of the first MSC show, looking at the chatting commentary in the studio, the audience in the live broadcast room also used a barrage to express their views on MSC.

However, aside from the worries of a small number of viewers, the vast majority of viewers are still full of confidence in this MSC, after all, it is the first division, if you are even worried about overturning this kind of challenge, then don't play the S competition, as long as you don't participate in any global events, LPL will always be the first division.

It's just that the game is about to start, so it will naturally be nervous, even if you know that the odds of winning are greater, you can't really rest assured until you really see the explosion of the opponent's main base.

Soon, MSC's opener finally began.

After the players on both sides were ready in front of the cameras in their respective venues, the two sides officially entered the first round of BP, and as soon as it came up, SKT banned Verus, male guns and spiders, except for poke flow Verus is the first echelon of the version of AD, the other two bans are obviously targeting the jungler - last year, SKT understood that the jujube combination could not target the little winter jujube on the hero pool.

This year, they are paired with the jujube combination again, and combined with the current version, they obviously have a better BP idea, and the focus has shifted to Chen Zilan.

However, after a year of training, Chen Zilan is not the hero spoon of last year, basically she has played all the jungler heroes that can be used, and even outrageous heroes like Cuishen have not let go. After discovering that the male gun and the spider, the two heroes she preferred in the playoffs, were banned, her heart did not fluctuate, and she even felt a little bored - what is it to ban two, if you have the ability, you can directly ban three junglers.

Immediately, after some discussion, DME single-handedly chose Ephelius for light - poke flow Verus was banned, the female gun was reduced in priority due to the weakening of the version's passive movement speed, and EZ did not have the right to line in the lower half of the district, so Ephelius naturally became the best choice under the current version.

As the LCK's spring champion and triple champion, SKT's selection is undoubtedly very concerning to the LPL audience, and it can also be seen from the side how the top teams in the two regions understand the current version of the game.

However......

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, SKT's upper unit canna didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally showed the hero mouse in the AD position, and it was ten seconds to light up, until the end it was slowly replaced by something else.

"I'm angry." Ning Shuyu immediately said that she was the first to react, and after the others noticed it, their faces quickly became ugly - maybe the audience and commentators couldn't react for a while, but as professional players, they couldn't be clearer, during this period when playing Hanbok rank, if Koreans notice that you are Chinese, such as ID is pinyin and the like, they will take the initiative to light up the mouse in the BP stage, which is to imply that there is no need to say more.

If you just encounter this situation in rank, no one is interested in wasting feelings on passers-by, but showing a mouse in a high-profile regional event like MSC is no less provocative than insulting China.

If you can't fight back fiercely in the next game, let alone the audience, even the players themselves may find it difficult to forgive themselves.

And unlike the excited emotions on the DME side, SKT's side, as a provocateur, canna is in a very happy mood, he is not old, let alone psychologically mature, the reason why he wants to be such a blatant bright mouse in the game, not so much deliberately trying to provoke the opponent, in fact, it is more of a curiosity and attempt - after all, it is Korean, the position is different from the Chinese, in the eyes of the Chinese is a serious provocation, in his eyes is just a funny joke, he is very curious after he shows the mouse, Whether or not China can notice this is quite a smell of an unknown kid trying to gain attention by sensationalism.

It's a pity that he can't see the barrage feedback on his side, and it is impossible to know the communication status of the opponent's side, so after lighting up the mouse and locking Senna for his own bottom lane combination, he quickly lost interest in this matter, and under the arrangement of the coach, he chose Jace - unlike LPL, LPL's Jace has a very low win rate, but in LCK Jace is the top laner with a high win rate.

In order to be able to ensure the suppression on the road, and in order not to even be able to win a rookie girl at that time, Canna took the initiative to ask his teammates to take down Jace for him, just in case.

"I'll give you Jace, it's very important for you, don't take them lightly just because they're women." After agreeing to Canna's request, seeing Canna's eager look, Coach Kim Kyung-so couldn't help but remind.

He knows what kind of virtue canna is, although he has talent, but he also loves to pretend, and after learning that DME is a rookie player this season, and a female player, he directly clamored to blow her up in the line - of course, the two identity labels of "newcomer" and "girl" themselves are often linked to the word "rookie", and it is understandable that such an idea will occur.

However, after watching the second half of the regular season of the LPL Spring Tournament and some of the game videos in the playoffs, the player named Hwaji on the opposite side has become an excellent top laner in the eyes of Kim Jingsu, at least among the rookies, he is definitely the top, at most his performance is unstable.

Such a player, if it weren't for Canna's selection of Jace, who he is very good at, Kim Jingsu is not sure if Canna can get the line right.

"Don't worry, I'll fight very steadily, at most I'll press the knife, and I won't kill it!" Canna grinned, "Be a gentleman, I know." ”

For him, Jace is indeed a hero with a very hot hand, and when he gets Jace, there is basically nothing to worry about on the line, so the mood is also extremely relaxed.

However, after seeing DME's follow-up two-handed selection, even if he was well-informed in the training match, at this time, he was in a state of confusion like Kim Jingsu, faker and others on the side - doesn't this DME already have Ephelius? What the hell is it to choose Calista and Lucian in the second and third hands?

Directly select three shooters to come out, this lineup is very powerful in addition to the line, isn't it broken when you touch the group?

To be able to choose this kind of lineup, DME is a problem with the heads of all the staff, right?
