The 2016 MSI Mid-Season Tournament started on May 4th, and on April 28th, LGD finished everything, and on April 29th, it was time to resume training and preparation.

There are only 5 days left until the start of the group stage!

Fortunately, it is a local battle, which avoids the problem of long-distance travel and adjusting to jet lag, of course, it is because of the local battle, so there is time to give the players a holiday, so that they can find time to accept various interviews and shoots, otherwise they should have taken a plane to the venue of MSI a long time ago.

With MSI coming, the official has also started the warm-up activity of MSI, and the MSI Warzone avatar in the game store is on the shelves, choose the avatar to support the team!

The sales price of the avatar in each competition area is also different, in the national server, the LPL avatar costs 1 gold coin, and the avatar in other regions costs 1150 points.

On the other hand, the tide of transfer periods in various major regions has kicked off, after all, there are only 6 teams participating in MSI, and the other teams are already preparing for the summer tournament and the S6 World Finals.

LPL, first of all, EDG, EDG manager Sanshao announced on Weibo that he was leaving EDG, and the title of the long article: Goodbye, the sun in my heart.

In this year's spring game, EDG and last summer, like last summer, once again stopped in the semi-finals, this result is unacceptable to both the EDG club and all the fans, so EDG has changed, but, what people didn't expect is that the first change is the departure of Sanshao.

In North America, C9's ADC player Sneaky revealed in a live stream that former AzubuBlaze player and 2015 EDG coach Reapered will join the C9 coaching staff.

Obviously, after the loss in the spring, C9 is about to start to make a difference.

On the other hand, TSM, who lost to CLG in the final, was not idle, and the official Facebook page of the TSG team posted a photo of Doubielift and Lustboy with the caption: "The auxiliary trial went well. ”

This caused a lot of European and American fans to comment:

'Doublelift is watching the video, and the tryout is good!' ’

It's possible that they did try out, but it's more likely that Lustboy was just going back and looking, maybe even helping them find a player. ’

In Longzhu's Q&A, he said he liked the coach more than he played. ’

'He still has a one-year contract with Longzhu'

As long as there is money, contracts are not a problem. ’

'Lustboy is the funniest Korean I've ever met. ’

'I think it's TSM teasing me, but I want Lustboy to go to TSM so much!'

......

2016MSI was held in Shanghai, so naturally, at the opening ceremony, Chinese culture is naturally indispensable, in a burst of passionate drums, a team appeared, each team appeared, BGM is different.

Because it was the first official World Championship to be held in China, there were a lot of spectators, and when each team appeared, the big screen on the scene would show the scene of their spring championship victory.

Starting with G2, followed by CLG-SUP-FW-SKT, and finally, LGD for homegrown operations!

Before the camera was shown to LGD, when the highlights of the LGD finals and the excited voices of the commentators appeared on the big screen, the scene resounded with enthusiastic cheers.

When the camera showed the LGD players, the cheers reached the climax, and in the hearts of all those who saw this scene, one word couldn't help but emerge, home advantage!

"All on site... Hello summoners at the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center! And all the viewers who are watching our Mid-Season Championship online, good afternoon! Today at the scene, it is already the top six gathering, and they are about to compete for this year's mid-season championship. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Longhair! (I'm Joker)"

"In addition to me and Joker, there are also two guests who will accompany us to make the opening commentary seat, welcome Miss and President Wang."

......

Because it was a home stadium, the first game after the opening ceremony was LGD, and the opponent was CLG from the North American region.

In the spring game, the departure of the big brother did not make CLG fall to the bottom, and under the leadership of the veteran Aphromoo, CLG once again created a miracle, and the dramatic ending of the finals made the big brother cry and faint in the toilet.

In the face of TSM, which has a very luxurious lineup, CLG fought five games and finally successfully defended the title, and our big brother could only watch his old club lift the championship trophy again.

If you want to say the biggest takeaway from CLG this season, it must be the newcomer ADStixxay, aside from his previous performances, his performance in the tiebreaker alone is enough to make this former rookie famous in the LCS, and his small cannon stepped up at a critical moment and successfully sent the team to MSI with a perfect harvest.

For CLG, Su Yi and Zhou Xiang have analyzed a lot, and there is no doubt that the most important thing for them is the bottom lane combination of Apromoo and Stixxay.

In the global finals last year, Su Yi played against CLG, when WOA and CLG were in the same group, and finally Su Yi led WOA to win all the matches with CLG, while CLG unfortunately went out with the third place in the group of 2-4 and stopped in the round of 16.

Therefore, it can be said that against CLG, Su Yi thinks that he is still very experienced, and it should be easy to get a good start in this game.

After the opening ceremony, the other teams stepped down and returned to their respective lounges to prepare for the next game, LGD and CLG went directly to the platform to debug the machine, waiting for the game to start.

"That's a lot of people." Condi looked up at the audience.

Although the finals have been played, the venue of the LPL finals is still very different from the venues this time, after all, one is the world championship and the other is the regional finals, and you know that it can't be the same when you think about it.

This time, the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center is slightly larger than the Shanghai Qizhong Forest Tennis Center in the finals, with 3,000 more seats, and in the finals, due to the stage design, all seats were not opened, and they were not full.

But this time, maybe because it was the opening ceremony, there were many people at the scene, and Su Yi swept his eyes, at least tens of thousands of people.

Except for marin and imp, who have appeared on the stage of the finals of the S competition, several other people, including Su Yi, have never played on such a big stage, and they are still fighting at home, so it is inevitable that there will be pressure in their hearts.

Therefore, Su Yi wanted to soothe them, smiled, looked at Condi, and said, "It's not much, this is still the group stage, and when you enter the knockout round, you will know what it means to have more people in the finals." ”

"It's the first time I've heard such a big cheer." Pyl was still immersed in the cheers of the newcomer.

godv poured cold water and said: "It's not necessarily all our fans, it's just because we are the only LPL team." ”

"So what, cheer me on and you're my fan!"

PYL looked at the IMP on the side and asked, "IMP, when you played in the finals, were there so many people in the scene?" ”

"Yes."

"Were you nervous at the time?"

"A little bit."

"yes, definitely nervous, I'm a little nervous right now." Pyl took a deep breath.

Su Yi smiled: "What's there to be nervous about, it's just a CLG, I took WOA to kill them last year, relax, it's enough to play your usual performance." ”

"Okay, you guys support me while debugging, European and American divisions, they like to take out that kind of sassy thing the most, in case they take it out..."
