The first round of the group stage of the ME team is over, and then we have to wait for the other teams to finish the first round and quickly move on to the second round.

After the matches in Group A and Group B, YG still had one more game in Group C, and it was very easy to win.

So far, YG have won all three matches and led the group stage with a perfect record of 3-0. There were many praises from the major forums, and YG was regarded as the star of hope for this year's LPL championship.

ME won C9, which was relatively low-key. Under the light of YG, ME seems to have turned into a shadow.

Luo Luo was indignant and felt that everyone should also pay more attention to ME, after all, after a long absence, the World Championship has been very good, and a 2-1 record is already very good.

Moreover, she knows that the current strategic focus of ME is to ignore KG, which is the first in the group.

However, Awakening was very happy with this outcome.

Like he said to everyone at ME, a marathon is never about the first person to win. Whoever has the last laugh will laugh the best.

However, not everyone has ignored ME.

For example, MNG's coach Wei Dayong, as a major domestic boss, has found an interesting phenomenon when he studies the recent group stage.

"The game between LPL and LCK is that the No. 2 seed defeats the No. 1 seed. It's really a lot of fun! ”

OMG coach Hou Longge asked with interest: "What does this represent?" The first and second seeds in the competition area have a very small gap in strength. However, looking at the experience and performance of the World Championships, SKG, YG and KG all surpassed ME. I still think that the rebuilt team of ME is too shallow. ”

He still remembers that before the start of the game, he and Wesley went to persuade Wake to be ignored. This annoyed him greatly, on the one hand, because of the arrogance of the awakening; On the other hand, he feels that as the captain of the No. 1 seeded team, he has no one in his eyes, and once he plays a bad record, he will lose the face of the entire LPL.

It's also because of this that his impression of awakening has become bad.

Wei Dayong shook his head with a smile, he rubbed his round belly, and said to Hou Longge: "Coach Hou, have you ever wondered why the No. 1 seed in the two divisions was defeated by the No. 2 seed at the same time, is it all a coincidence?" ”

Hou Longge frowned and said with a smile: "You don't want to say that ME and SKG have hidden strength, right?" ”

Wei Dayong smiled noncommittally, turned his head and said, "I don't know if it's hiding strength." However, as the No. 1 seed, he tends to take a defensive stance when facing challenges from below. Let's see how strong you are first, instead of fighting life and death as soon as you come up. ”

"However, as the second seed, that is, the challenger. They will definitely go all out, because they know that they may be inferior in hard power. If you don't do your best, it will only make the situation worse. ”

Hou Longge questioned: "But this statement is just speculation. Moreover, the strength of these four teams, no one can accurately give the ranking. Even if SKG and ME are the No. 1 seeds, they will not be able to defeat opponents like KG and YG! ”

Wei Dayong recalled in his mind the first two games, both YG and KG were full of momentum.

But SKG, on the other hand, came up with a jewel piano girl system that they had never played in the LCK region.

And ME......

Wei Dayong couldn't help frowning when he thought of ME's game.

In that game, there was nothing wrong with ME's lineup, it was all a very conventional lineup system in the LPL. The reason why it lost to KG was entirely because the operational rhythm was suppressed.

Could it be that ME is really strong from the outside? Fighting a foreign war will reveal its true form?

Thinking about the conversation with Su Xing that night, Wei Dayong also began to wonder what Su Xing thought.

……

After a day of playing, they returned to the base as usual and started a simulated battle with the sparring players again.

The opponents of the simulated KG are all domestic first-class and quasi-first-class players, and even the temporary team is very strong. What's more, several teams are all fully assembled, and there is no problem in terms of tacit understanding.

Hou Longge was reluctant to participate in ME's training because of the slackness of Su Xing before, but Wesley and Su Xing had a good personal relationship, and Su Xing helped CLG, so he still tried his best to organize the sparring players to fight a simulation battle.

In addition, the captains of the three teams began to exchange information whenever they were free, analyze the styles of the teams in other regions, and give each other advice.

Awakening didn't fall behind in the other groups either, so he knew all about some of the top 16 teams. After a thorough analysis, it helped Dorami and Lookie a lot.

On the LCK side, the relationship between the three teams is more stiff.

Winning the S Championship for many consecutive years has led to the LCK being in a state of solitude. In their opinion, the S Tournament is just a world-class entertainment tournament, and the difficulty of winning the championship is not even as great as that of the LCK champion.

Therefore, the biggest opponent is not from other regions, but two opponents from your own region!

Team KG, like SKG, is also a veteran LCK giant, and has competed with SKG for the championship for many years. In this year's spring finals, he played 5 rounds with SKG and almost won the championship against SKG.

The new army GRG, although it has only been a year and a half to play LCK, all players are kings of more than 1,000 points in Hanbok. The players are young and strong, and they are the runners-up in this year's LCK Summer Tournament. It was also a full 5 rounds with SKG before losing the final game.

As a result, the three LCK teams never play against their two teams in the same division, preferring to play with domestic second-tier teams. Occasionally, I will find the best teams from other regions.

"Coach, should we contact ME and find them to play a training match?" The assistant coach of the team suggested to Jin Si.

"After all, they have a good set of YG, and there are still a lot of things to learn from."

Jin Si stood in front of the window, and all that lingered in his mind was the shadow of awakening. He watched the game of C9 today, and ME did not use any complicated tactics, it was completely hard power to crush.

But I don't know why, when he saw the calm expression of Su Xing, he always felt that he had overlooked something very important.

Hearing the assistant coach's words, he put his right hand into a fist in front of his lips, thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No." The probability of ME qualifying is more than 9%. When the time comes, there is a chance that they will meet SKG in the quarterfinals, and playing a training match with them now is tantamount to giving them a chance to study us. ”

The current stage of the training match is not as good as the previous exchange in Shanghai, because at this time they are racing against time to prepare for the main match of the S race. So, even if it's a training match, you have to go all out. Then, naturally, a lot of things will be exposed.

"So, you go and make an appointment with AFS.".

The assistant coach said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ”

Jin Si nodded, he felt that he had to take a good look. Regarding ME, about awakening, I'm afraid we will have to wait for the next game when they play KG to see some clues.
