When Su Yi and the others packed their bags and went home for the New Year, the latest issue of the global LOL professional combat power ranking was released, with EDG ranking fifth and LGD ranking ninth.

The specific rankings are as follows: SKT, ROX, OG, LZ, LGD, KT, EDG, EVER, TSM, H2K.

This is the top 10, followed by NB, FNC, AHQ, RNG, IMT, C9, FW, CJ.

This ranking still has reference value, they are the leaders in each major region, in Su Yi's opinion, if nothing else, most of the above teams can basically reach the S6 Global Finals.

The 2016 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) will be held at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center from May 4 to May 15, the first international tournament to be held in China since the 2013 All-Star Game.

At the same time, the new format was also announced, and the official said: After the Mid-Season Invitational last year, we recognized that players wanted to see more matches between teams across regions, so this year we decided to change the group stage from May 4 to May 8 to a double round-robin format, which means that the number of matches will be doubled.

After the group stage, the semi-finals and finals from May 13 to May 15 will be played in a best-of-five format (BO5). At the end of all competitions, the strongest team will lift the trophy and become this year's mid-season champion.

As soon as this news came out, the majority of players and viewers began to look forward to LPL being able to defend the MSI mid-season championship in their home country.

"Win the championship on home..."

This is a scene that many people are looking forward to seeing, and it is also something that many people want to do, including Su Yi.

Counting S10, the League of Legends event has developed for 10 years, not counting the first year that it did not participate, there are also nine years, nine years, and there are three official events held in China, 16 MSI, 17 World Finals, and S10 Global Finals.

Su Yi crossed before he had time to see the S10 World Finals, not counting S10, the first two chances to win the championship locally, LPL didn't do it, it's a pity, as an audience, I really want to see the local champion.

I didn't see it before, but now Su Yi wants to lead the team to do it by himself!

There is still more than a year left before the S7, so let's take this MSI appetizer first!

Because the team ran in better than he imagined, Su Yi felt that maybe he didn't have to wait for the summer game, and the spring game could hit the championship!

......

Time passed quickly, February 7, Chinese New Year's Eve, after the New Year, the fifth day of the new year, that is, on February 12, Su Yi returned to Shanghai and began to prepare for the fourth week against EDG and RNG.

The game against EDG was the opening game of the LPL rematch after the year.

Before the start of the season, when the dust settles on the group draw, many players and media begin to predict the groups. Regardless of the diversity of the middle and back arrangements, there is almost a striking unanimity in predicting the position of the leader.

"1st LGD in Group A, 1st EDG in Group B."

Riot was not idle, and later released an LPL team strength prediction, and the top two teams in the list were these two teams.

As a result, the official arranged the match between LGD and EDG for the first match after the year, and also wanted to use this to make the event hot after the year.

After two consecutive defeats in the first week, EDG's lineup became the champion five, so Su Yidao didn't need to guess anything, EDG would definitely be those five.

Of course, it's the same on the EDG side, and there is no need to guess at all, LGD's side has been a fixed five people since the beginning of the new season, and the ARN on the bench has not played a game so far...

......

"Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year."

The players have not returned to the base yet, and the two coaching staff, Su Yi and Zhou Xiang, came back first.

"How's it going?"

"It's okay." Zhou Xiang suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Do you know? During the Chinese New Year, didn't you know that I was an analyst in an e-sports club, and some relatives asked me if my child liked to play games and whether he could play professionally. ”

When Su Yi heard this, he also smiled and asked, "How did you answer?" ”

"How else can I answer, I can't veto it directly." Zhou Xiang thought about the situation at that time, he felt a headache, shook his head and said: "I have to say, this depends on the situation, it depends on talent or something, so I talked a lot, and finally dispelled his thoughts, how can e-sports be so easy." ”

"yes, esports is not that easy..."

Su Yi sighed and lifted his senses: "Huh, have you done a good job of the analysis I want you to do?" ”

"It's all done, here."

On the third day after Su Yi and their return, the players also returned to the base, and on February 15, they began training and preparation, which was only three days before the competition on February 18.

Although the time is very tight, it is enough, and the main thing is to make targeted contacts.

They did prepare a lot, but it wasn't until the day of the game that Su Yi and the others found out that EDG's mid laner was not General Pawn.

Due to injury problems, EDG made temporary substitutions and adjustments, and the starting mid-laner was replaced by Athena.

“...”

This substitution also made some of Su Yi's pre-game preparations ineffective, and they could only watch the temporary adjustments on the field.

In this match, EDG is on the blue side and LGD is on the red side.

BP, EDG is very targeted, first of all, it removed the sword and the plane, and pressed the two heroes who played well in the previous game, Marin and Godv.

In the third week of the year, the barrel became a hit, and it won many battles in the hands of SWIFT, the factory director and others, so it could only be moved.

In the selection stage, the spear of revenge was directly locked on the first floor of EDG.

Coming to LGD's side, after NDI broke through to A-, and the problem of the hero pool was slightly improved, Su Yi didn't grab the jungler first, because the cost performance was too low.

In the end, Su Yi chose Bobby and Niu Tou on the first and second floors, so as to respond to all changes, first take two big front rows, these two heroes, nothing else, just solid!

Back to EDG's side, two very solid heroes were also selected on the second and third floors, Bronn + Titan, who were also top orders and supporters.

Because of the version update, the male gun was weakened, so after thinking about it, Su Yi locked the spider and Lucian, leaving the unter position to the middle laner.

I don't know much about Athena, so I'm afraid that the other party will suddenly come up with some big moves, so I still have to guard against it.

In the last two-handed choice, EDG chose Victor and the excavator, which also made Su Yi breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that EDG is also afraid of problems, and in the choice of heroes for Athena, it is also based on stability.

Unter, Su Yi chose the Ice Girl for Godv, which is also a hero that Godv is very good at, and in the current version, the Ice Girl has also been strengthened.

In the end, the lineups of both sides are as follows:

Blue Side EDG: Top Lane Titan, Jungler Excavator, Mid Single Victor, ADC Vengeful Spear, Support Bron.

Red Side LGD: Top Single Bobby, Jungler Spider, Mid Single Ice Girl, ADC Lucian, Support Bull Head. Haishu.com
