-356- Isn't it a little too demanding?
September 25th.
After the opening ceremony, the S10 play-in tournament officially started.
However, this naturally has nothing to do with DME, so during this period, although I occasionally observe the playing style of the wild card team, more time is still spent on playing training matches - during the World Championship, major LPL teams such as IG and RNG do not have holidays, and all of them will be sparring partners for the four teams in the World Championship, so I don't have to worry about not being able to make appointments at all.
Then, after the play-in tournament was over, at the beginning of October, DME also officially determined its group stage grouping - Group C, along with the second place DWG in the LCK, the third place TL in the LCS, and the fourth place MAD in the LEC.
This grouping is of course very easy for DME, after all, there is a significant strength gap, and it is not surprising that DME and DWG will directly take the two qualifying places in the group.
In the same group, there are LPL's No. 2 seed TES, LEC's No. 3 seed RGE, and a wild card that climbed up in the play-in tournament.
In this way, the focus of these two groups will naturally be clear and clear.
SKT in Group A plays TES.
DME in group C played DWG.
The four favourites in the top four in the world will meet in the group stage and have an early scuffle, and no one will not fail to get excited.
"I'm going to play DWG tomorrow, so I don't think I'm going to lose."
"If it weren't for SKT's sudden return of the gods, then DWG would be the most likely team to win the championship this year, and Sister Zaozi would be difficult to top."
"Isn't the DWG on MSC still being hammered by DME? Why is this so difficult? ”
"What version of MSC, can it be the same as now? I don't look at how well other DWGs played in the summer tournament. ”
"Then DME doesn't play well?"
"One thing to say, I think DME has a bigger chance of winning, it's hard to say that Senior Brother Niu is playing flowers on the road, but the middle and lower fields are all completely victorious, and no one really thinks that the Ghost Emperor + beryl can be stronger than the Lamp Emperor + PPGod."
"That's right, now some people are stunned for the milk DWG, and the reason should be six or four, six of us, four of them."
"But it's not enough to just open on June Fourth, if you fight the big turtle just on June Fourth, take the head to hit Brother Li, and Brother Li will play DWG and say less about Seven Three Open."
Because there was a match between DME and DWG on the first day of the group stage, the night before the game began, LPL netizens had heated discussions in Tieba forums and other places, constantly analyzing the strength comparison between the two sides.
It can only be said that if SKT hadn't suddenly recalled the remnants of the old era and reorganized an S5 champion lineup that broke the time barrier, then it would be no problem for DWG and DME to meet in the group stage and say that the S10 finals started early - at least for LPL, DWG should be the biggest obstacle on the way to winning the championship, as long as DWG is swept away, the LPL championship is basically half stable.
Sadly, that has changed.
It's not enough to beat the DWG.
DME will have to sweep DWG like SKT Summer Finals to prove that LPL is still capable of winning the championship this year.
This makes DME fans feel a mountain of pressure at this moment.
It's not enough to win, you have to win to be crushed, and you have to be qualified to compete with SKT.
Isn't this a little too demanding for DME?
……
In this way, in the expectation of Chinese and South Korean netizens, the first day of the group stage has finally arrived, and the third game is the battle between DME and DWG, which is also the most eye-catching bo1 duel today.
Because there was no audience, this year's venue was extraordinarily quiet, which also made the players of both teams relax a lot to a certain extent, and after the players took their seats on the camera, the DWG players looked over with great enthusiasm, obviously treating DME as a strong rival to themselves.
However, DME's reaction was relatively calm, and without an audience, Xiaoyu, light and PPGod would not be too nervous, and the jujube group had seen strong winds and waves, and they didn't take DWG to heart at all.
So, without letting the audience wait too long, the two sides entered the BP link, and determined their own selection in the first three rounds.
The DME on the blue side took Jace, Ember and Bud to determine the top lane and double lane.
The DWG on the red side locked Leopard Girl, Zoe and Cold Ice to determine the middle and lower field.
"What's this...... Circumstance? "As an opponent, looking at the first round of BP at DME, the DWG coach fell into confusion.
That's right, in his imagination, DME should have locked Momiji in the first round with her well-played Wild Core Hero.
The male gun, the leopard woman, and Qianjue should be one of the two sides, which is the normal BP rhythm, and it also conforms to the current version of the dragon soul.
But at the end of the first round, DME didn't go as he envisioned, and he didn't even choose a jungler hero, which made him feel a little weird.
Could it be that your own information is wrong?
DME has no intention of playing wild core at all?
Red leaves are ready to jungle with the rhythm of spiders and blind men in this game, and then match Xiao Dongjube with a late-stage core midlaner?
"Coach, what are we banning?" After the other party banned Morgana in the auxiliary position, it was his turn to ban people, and the ghost emperor asked with some hesitation, "Do you want to ban the male gun and Qianjue?" ”
"No, don't ban yet, you ...... Let's ban the clockwork. Coach DWG said.
"Ban clockwork? For winter dates? Coach, are you sure? The showmaker on the side was immediately surprised when he heard this.
They had studied DME for a long time before the game, and they knew very well that DME's middle lane was basically impossible to target because of the relationship between the hero sea, and at most they could ban her a syndra, so the focus of the target would often be given to other positions.
Who knows that now that he is really on the court to do BP, the coach not only bans Sindra in the first round, but also bans the heroes of Winter Dates in the second round, which makes people a little caught off guard - why target Winter Dates? Coach, are you sure you can ban her hero sea?
"Clockwork, Tsar, just ban these two, trust me." Coach DWG said confidently.
He has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has been thinking about the reason why DME didn't take the wild core in the first round, and the only explanation he can come up with is that since DME didn't take the wild core in the first round, then they shouldn't take the wild core again in the second round, and they will definitely choose a rhythm for Momiji to play the jungle.
And because Momiji is a rhythm jungler, considering that Jace and Ember can't take on the heavy responsibility of output, DME will definitely make up for his core output in the middle lane.
Then combined with the version, as long as Sindra, Clockwork and Tsar are all banned in two rounds of BP, and you take out Zoe with an election ban, DME will have no excellent core heroes to choose from.
At most, I will retreat to the second, choose some defective products such as Ruiz and Cassadine, and then be pressed by Showmaker's Zoe for the rest of my life.
What a perfect BP!
After being complacent in his heart for a while, after the start of the second round of BP, the DWG coach selected the top laner Lu Xian for Niu Encouragement - in fact, under normal circumstances, he does not support Niu Encouragement to choose Lu Xian, even if Niu Encouragement likes it very much, but this beating Jace is another matter.
To borrow the point of view of the world's No. 1 list, Jace does not choose Lu Xian, and he is sorry!
And after locking Lu Xian, it was the turn of DME to choose people.
The DWG coach quickly focused his gaze.
As long as DME selects any of the core midlaners, he can directly declare his victory in this wave of BP matchups.
But what he didn't expect was that in the next second, DME would chain the two at lightning speed.
Jungler Prince, as well as mid laner......
Annie?!
Seeing the fire girl who had not appeared in the professional arena for a long time being locked down, the DWG coach's mind went blank, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
