Chapter 33: The First Day of the Competition
The first day of play was very easy for GG because they didn't have to play. According to the schedule, six matches are held every day, and today is two Group A byes for each of the three BCD groups.
When the game was about to start, Niu Wensong, Xiao Shrimp and others slipped to the front desk to watch the game. When they arrived, they found that there were already a lot of people from other teams sitting there.
Niu Wensong glanced at it and soon saw several familiar figures - several ESG players. After saying hello to Xiao Shrimp, he bowed over quietly and sat down next to their leader Yue Senkai:
"Brother Kai, come and see the game?"
"Well, let's learn how to play in other regions." Yue Senkai glanced at him unexpectedly and replied.
"Indeed, I don't know if I don't come, the style of play in the World Championship is too different from that in China." Niu Wensong was deeply touched.
Yue Senkai, an ESG jungler, is also the captain. The most 'oldest' player in the LPL who has been playing since S2 and is still fighting.
According to the memories of the predecessor, this one is quite sad. Since transferring to ESG, I have been scolded, and finally relied on a series of results to turn over, and then lost one after another in the world championship. So he has more black fans than fans outside the circle.
But in the circle, this is a well-known good old man and a bit of a bosom brother. Therefore, the relationship with most insiders is very good. For a character like this, Niu Wensong, whose purpose is not simple, naturally wants to take the initiative to make friends.
"The Worlds is a meeting of players from all over the world, and you can really learn a lot. Especially the GAN team on the field, their understanding of the game is different from any other region. If you run into it without preparation, it's easy to get confused. Yue Senkai leaned over to Niu Wensong, so that he could speak.
"How?" Niu Wensong asked curiously.
"It's BP, you can see it." Yue Senkai motioned for him to look at the big screen.
The two teams on the field are H2, the overlord from the EU region, and gan from the Southeast Asian region.
The Ban people were very weird from the beginning, and the GAN team on the purple side actually released the male gun of the first brother in the wild area. H2 naturally won't be polite, and directly lock him in with a vote. Then the GAN team locked on the keg.
"Where do you think this barrel will go?" Yue Senkai suddenly asked.
Niu Wen was relieved for a moment, not knowing why he asked this. Now where can this version of the barrel go except for the jungler, can the gan team still use him to play single?
I couldn't figure out why he asked this, Niu Wensong said with some uncertainty: "It should be a jungler, can you still go on?" ”
"Huh...... Gan's understanding of the game and style of play are different from other teams, and they are very superstitious about the jungler Carrey. Although Yue Senkai didn't say it directly, the meaning of his words was obvious.
The barrel is a functional jungler Kerry's lack of ability, so there is a very high probability of going on.
Before the final candidate was determined, Niu Wensong couldn't believe that it would be like this, but he always felt that it shouldn't be. It's not that there are no teams with the reverse version, but it's a bit too much to play the reverse version as soon as it comes up.
But the selection of the GAN team quickly confirmed Yue Senkai's speculation, and they chose the mantis for the third hand.
Seeing this selection, Niu Wensong unexpectedly glanced at this ESG jungler. How experienced you have to be to be able to guess what medicine your opponent is selling in your gourd just by your team's style. It is not a fluke that he can achieve today's results.
If the barrel order can barely be said to be in the past, then Gan's fourth-hand choice is really the reverse version - their AD uses the demolitionist Giggs, commonly known as Bomberman.
The Bomberman AD routine has been around for a long time, but that's in the S3S4 version. With changes to equipment and heroes, Bomberman quickly disappeared from the game. I didn't expect the GAN team to move him out today.
However, after seeing this wonderful selection, Niu Wensong flashed the name of a team in his previous life.
"What country is the GA team from?"
"Vietnam."
When he heard the name of this country, Niu Wensong had no problems. It seems that no matter what world it is, the style of the Vietnamese team is so different.
But alternative is also a double-edged sword, which can catch the opponent off guard and easily collapse.
And this game H2 obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and the rhythm of the beating was completely lost under the aggressiveness of the gan team and wave after wave of offensives, and finally lost Dalong at thirty-one minutes and was dropped from the base.
In the first game, it was an upset, stimulating the audience, and the entire venue was covered with applause and cheers.
The second game was a match between LPL No. 2 seed shg and LMS No. 2 seed agq. There was no upset in this game, and SHG relied on the strong online in the early stage to take away the opponent directly.
After the end of Group B, it was Group C, and ESG was ranked in the fourth match against TAM from North America. But because they had to go back early to prepare, they returned to the lounge after the Group B match.
The first match of Group C is a four-star match from the country of sticks against MDF. The four-star in the game showed the horror of the stick country team, and the opponent (just zero heads) won the game in 25 minutes. The MDF was pressed into place from the beginning, and the whole line was disadvantaged, and there was no way to fight back the whole time.
In the second ESG and TAM match, relying on the crazy gank of the jungler Yue Mori Kai, it blossomed across the board. But the resilience of the TAM team is also very strong, so the economy has been maintained at a gap of four or five thousand.
The game dragged on until forty-seven minutes, and during the big dragon team battle, TAM let the dragon killer team destroy the opponent, and finally won the game by drawing the ESG base.
Niu Wensong will naturally not be in a good mood after losing ESG, he can think that Yue Senkai must be scolding Yue Senkai on the Internet now, which is the practice of LPL.
There really wasn't any problem with his play in this game, and he broke the opponent's four ways. However, his teammates, who ate so many resources in the early stage of the mid-laner, began to be confused in the middle and late stages, and the lost position sent several waves of warmth to the opponent in a row.
There didn't seem to be any mistakes on the surface of the road, but nothing was done either. As AD, failure to act is failure.
What if your teammates don't give you a lot of help, what if you let him jungle with an excavator? In the end, all his efforts in the early and middle stages were in vain, and he had to be scolded for it. Sure enough, he is the saddest player in the LPL.
Although he was still smiling on the big screen, Niu Wensong could feel the sadness in his heart.
The ESG players in the last two games did not come to the front desk to watch, and it is estimated that they will be analyzing the gains and losses of the previous game in the lounge.
Niu Wensong didn't go over to make any fun. He and the other party are not too familiar with each other, and at this time, no matter what the real idea is, it is easy to be mistaken for a joke.
There were no waves in the next two games, as the Stick Nation KX team bulldozed the RAN team base in 29 minutes, and FMC lost to IMR.
After the game, the GG team returned to the hotel, and the coaching staff analyzed today's game game game by game, summarizing their playing routines. It wasn't until 12 o'clock in the evening that the summary meeting ended, and tomorrow there will be an early rest for the game.
At the end of the meeting, holo said: "Let's play tomorrow's game with our hearts and play the style of our GG team. ”
