3 to 2!

After winning the championship last summer, RT successfully won the third LPL championship and became the first team in LPL history to successfully defend the title.

It is worth mentioning that three of the top ten hot searches on Weibo on the night of the final were related to RT, and the team's momentum once again rose to a new height, and the traffic was not inferior to any small fresh meat.

A week later, before the aftermath of RT's victory had subsided, Lin Mu and the others flew to Florida to participate in the four-day 2015 Mid-Season Invitational, or MSI, hosted by Riot.

In this year's MSI, a total of six teams were invited, and in addition to the spring champions of the five major leagues, the last spot was won by the champion of the International Wild Card Invitational Tournament. They are LPL Spring Champion RT, LCK Spring Champion SKT, NA Spring Champion TSM, EU Spring Champion FNC, LMS Spring Champion AHQ, and ICI Champion BJK Team.

According to the format, the six teams will first start a two-day single round-robin group stage, and the top four will advance according to the ranking of points.

The match kicked off at 4 a.m. Beijing time, and the opening match was played by the host TSM against the European royal family FNC, which was a battle between Europe and the United States.

In this game, FNC played better, and Plzen was unable to support himself and was beaten in the first game.

FNC's victory also injected strong confidence into European players, and countless people played EU>NA memes in the English official live broadcast room on Titch, and players from the two major regions on Reddit even laughed at each other wildly, starting a new round of verbal battles.

Don't look at the reality that North America and Europe are like a family, it has been the relationship between father and son for hundreds of years, and at most there is a role reversal, but in the field of League of Legends, the two major regions from the West have always been a pair of enemies, and the relationship is quite similar to that of China and South Korea, both regard each other as the biggest competitors, and often a game can make players on both sides orgasm for several days.

It is worth mentioning that in FNC's defeat of TSM in this game, its upper lane Korean aid Huni performed particularly well, a snake girl Dyrus was full of bags, and died twice in less than 7 minutes, forcing Dyrus's Nar to drink the magic knife first, and if he is not careful, he may be killed.

The second game, SKTvsBJK.

South Korea's top spot against the wild card team from Turkey naturally had no suspense, and the main focus of this match was undoubtedly the big devil Faker who made his international debut again after a full year.

As we all know, this season SKT introduced a new midfielder, and the golden combination of Faker and Bengi was reduced to a substitute for a while, until the LCK Spring semifinals against CJ, the two teamed up to stage a wave of two chasing three to make a name for themselves, especially Bengi's three excavators, which can be called a well-deserved MVP.

However, despite proving that his strength is still there, Faker is still questioned a lot, after all, in the current middle lane dominated by long-term mage, everyone thinks that Easyhoon is more suitable than him, including SKT coach and management, which is not difficult to see from the LCK Spring Finals half a month ago, SKT played three games with Easyhoon as the starter, and Faker did not play a game.

SKT debuted Faker in its first tournament at MSI, not only because Faker has more international prestige and more fans around the world, but also because it has a sense of making amends.

At 6 o'clock Beijing time, that is, the third game of the group stage, RT appeared in anticipation and played the first game of MSI.

This is a matchup against the AHQ team from Taiwan.

In this match, RT picked a thick zoo system and focused on the lane lineup against AHQ.

It is worth mentioning that as the purple side, AHQ has chosen to give his midlaner Simon a death song at the end to come to Contrinmu's midlaner snake girl.

On the road: Centaur vs Nar

Jungler: Pig Girl vs Prince

Midlaner: Snake Girl vs Death Song

Bottom lane: Crab + Bull Head vs Skateboarding Shoes + Hammer Stone

It should be said that RT, a zoo lineup where cows, ghosts, snakes and gods gather, has an advantage from the moment it is taken out, unless AHQ can play a big advantage online, otherwise after reaching a certain point in time, the combat ability of the two sides is not at the same level at all.

When the game reached 10 minutes, AHQ had some small advantages in addition to Ziv on the road, not to mention the advantages of the other roads, and even it was difficult to maintain the balance of power, especially Ximen in the middle.

This Simon is not Bi Simon, his full name is Ximen Yeshuo, the first card in Taiwan, he is good at assassin heroes, and he has been at the top of the RANK of Taiwanese servers for a long time, and he is a veteran player of the same era as Ruofeng.

It must be said that Simon Ye said that he came prepared, and the first thing in his death song was the big ice staff, which not only enhanced the control ability, but also almost avoided the possibility of being killed alone, and at the same time, because the jungler Moutain chose a prince who did not rely on the wild area very much, this purple F4 and the three wolves almost all became the meat of his plate.

But,Often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet,When the game went on for 9 minutes,That is, shortly after Ximen won the second blue BUFF,When I started brushing F4 alone,A pig girl suddenly jumped out from behind,The starting hand is a big move to freeze it,Then the snake girl arrived,A binding ground was released at the feet of the death song,Twin fangs began to pour out wildly。

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Ximen Ye said that he chose to save a flash and handed over his first head in this game.

If it is acceptable to die once in the early stage, then this one is unacceptable to Ximen Yeshuo that until the game came to 20 minutes, under the premise that he ate at least ten sets of wild monsters, the mending knife failed to lead the snake girl.

It must be known that the biggest advantage of the hero of Death Song is his strong development ability, although Simon is the first piece of ice staff in this scene, but it is only to make up for the early stage, and he has not forgotten the core development suit of the archangel.

The game lasted 22 minutes, that is, shortly after the two-piece set of Death Song was formed, AHQ finally made up his mind to compete with his opponent, seized the opportunity of a single horse, and handed over a large wave of skills to get rid of the senior in seconds, but after all, he was one chess short, and the latter escaped with a big move.

AHQ did not give up and continued to take advantage of the difference in numbers to pursue, and now it has reached the stage of their lineup, and the chances of continuing to drag it down will only become more and more slim.

At this time, the advantages of the RT zoo lineup are reflected, the pig girl, the snake girl, the crab and the bull head, the remaining four people, each of them is hard, and they are stunned to withstand the opponent's second wave of offensive, and when the centaur TP returns to the battlefield, a wave of inside and outside should be combined, and the two sides are attacked, and the perfect team battle of one for five is successfully played.

Even though RT didn't choose to fight the big dragon because of the poor state after the team battle, a small dragon + breaking two towers in a row and an economic difference of nearly 5,000 were enough to declare AHQ a death sentence.
