Although the UF team still lost to the SSW team in the end, the excitement of the game also played a pretty good start to the group stage, and the second game was played by the LJL team GR from this year's MSI Mid-Season Play-in and Group Stage against the ZA team from the LCSNA region. ｅｎa`ｃｏｍ

These two teams are teams that tend to operate, and there are no extreme genius players like Mu, Coco Li or Li Haolin in the team, so in the second game, Team ZA and Team GR also played a relatively long game, and it was not until 45 minutes into the final game that Team GR found a suitable opportunity to win the Dragon Buff and successfully defeated Team ZA to win the first victory.

And this result is obviously very satisfying for the local audience in the LJL region, after all, the level of the GR team is definitely slightly insufficient compared to the other major regions, especially when compared to the teams from the two top regions of LCK and LPL.

In fact, from top to bottom, both the commentary and the audience in the LJL division do not have much hope that the GR team can win the MSI mid-season championship, after all, the strength gap between the LJL division and other major regions has existed for a long time, even if the existence of the LJL division has been valued a lot in recent years, but for various reasons, the overall strength of the LJL division can only be described as miserable.

Being able to stand out and emerge as a gr team that can barely play and watch is basically the result of burning incense every day in the LJL division, and the current situation of the LJL division is very similar to the LMS division, although there are many talented players in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao, but with the passage of time, there are undoubtedly more talented players in other regions.

However, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the QAQ team in the LMS division can barely guarantee its dignity and façade as an independent division, while the GR team also exists as the strength ceiling of the LJL division, but although the GR team in the LJL division is the top existence, it is unlikely that even the top 10 will be ranked in the world.

In this case, it is already a great thing for the GR team to break through the play-in tournament and squeeze into the top six group stage, and today's GR team was able to beat the ZA team to win the first victory, which made the local audience get great satisfaction, after all, they watched the game with the mentality that the GR team was all out.

However, what people never expected was that the GR team broke the possibility of being eliminated by a clean sheet in the first game, which really made many viewers feel a little unconvinced, but this is not because of how strong the GR team is, but because they just collided with the weakest ZA team.

Although Team ZA is the No. 1 seed in the LCSNA region to participate in MSI, to be honest, their performance in this region is not satisfactory at all, and if it weren't for the fact that the teams in the LCSNA region can be directly exempted from the promotion, I am afraid that it would be a problem for Team ZA to stand out from the dragon battle in the play-in tournament and enter the group stage.

And now the six teams that MSI advanced to the group stage are ranked by the vast majority of the audience from top to bottom SSW, UF, GNR, QAQ, GR, ZA, of course, this ranking is only a relatively general existence, just like ranking lions, tigers, black bears, cheetahs, wild boars, and coyotes.

It seems to be the case from the perspective of hard power alone, but once it really fights, what ranking can only play a reference role, and it can't play a decisive role, even if the GR team vs. the SSW team doesn't really have a single win rate at all, but that point may be about the same as the probability of the earth dog biting an adult male lion.
