The actual controllers behind the thorn bird are the two big Buddhas, Edzhu and the principal, so the treatment and funds when going out are naturally quite good.

In order to avoid a series of problems such as networking, diet, and living during the MSI event, the temporary base of the Thorn Bird has been arranged as early as when the Thorn Bird entered the finals.

Even though there are only a few days of competition time in Vietnam, the measures of temporary training accommodation are not much better than those of domestic clubs.

The play-in tournament was held in Ho Chi Minh City, while the group stage was held at the Vietnam National Convention Center in Hanoi.

Two days before the Qualifiers, the club had already booked a hotel near the GG Stadium, where the competition took place, so that the players could relax and unwind first, after all, the Thorn Birds had not taken a holiday since the end of the Spring Finals.

In order to take advantage of this opportunity to arrive in Vietnam early to adapt and then put the vacation together.

The players, including Li Luonei, are quite satisfied with the club's arrangement. Most people like novelty things.

Usually everyone is used to staying in the magic capital.,I don't know where to go on vacation.,And you'll get lazy after staying at home for a long time.,I don't even want to go out without a girlfriend.,In the end, I found out that the club was on vacation.,But it's still in the base to play games.。

Now that Vietnam is different, at least everything around is new.

After arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, the Thorn Birds players went out with a guide hired by the club, and it was not until the evening when the play-in tournament began.

When Zhu Kai saw the players coming back, he waved a stack of tickets in his hand: "Do you want to go to the scene to watch the game?" Club reimbursement."

"I don't want to move, I'm tired this afternoon."

The incense pot collapsed on the gaming chair like a puddle of mud, and I didn't know that I thought he had gone somewhere. "Young people have to look like young people, besides, the club buys infield tickets, which are very expensive, and it will be wasted if you don't go to see them."

Zhu Kai smiled and continued his lobbying. "How much does it cost?"

Brother Saint Gun was curious.

Zhu Kaiyan stretched out his hand and gestured a cross: "100,000 yuan, a full 100,000 yuan, we can watch all the games of the day." As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned at first, but after a brief rotation of the brain, even the Murphy himself raised his hand disdainfully.

They had just gone out shopping in the afternoon and had some knowledge of Vietnam's currency. Listening to what Zhu Kai said was so bluffing, what a whole 100,000 yuan.

100,000 VND, in general, is only equivalent to more than 20 pieces of soft sister coins.

At this moment, Xi Ye crossed his fingers and seemed to think of something: "I seem to have seen it before, the front row ticket in the infield of the group stage is 200,000 VND, so if you calculate it, it is only more than 50 yuan?"

This low ticket price made a group of thorn bird players look at each other. After thinking about it, everyone decided to go to the scene to have a look.

The reason why I booked a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City for two days was to allow the players to take two days off and relax. On the other hand, it is to feel the atmosphere of the League of Legends competition scene in Vietnam, and also observe the level of the play-in teams.

In the play-in round, three teams will compete to advance to the group stage.

There are only three teams that don't need to play in the play-in rounds, the Thorn Birds from the LPL, SKT from the LCK, and G2 from the EU European Division.

In other words, even the champion of this year's North American LCS Spring Tournament, or the former World Championship regular, the Lightning Wolves, are going to play in the Play-In Tournament.

The Thorn Bird's primary focus is also on these once-glorious teams.

Although there are few teams participating in MSI, all of them are the best in their respective regions.

Although the gold content of the championship in this event is not as good as the World Finals, the threshold is higher than that of the World Finals, after all, there can only be such a team in a region.

The Thorn Birds spent a total of four days in Ho Chi Minh City.

Until the end of the play-in round, the thorn birds were all talented

Went to the temporary base in Hanoi City and began training before the competition.

In general, the time of the Thorn Birds is still relatively abundant, the group stage of the play-in round will end on May 4, the knockout stage of the play-in round will be on May 7, and the first day of the group stage will be on May 10.

According to the schedule, the Thorn Birds will play in the third small game of the first day of the group stage.

The team will be one of the three teams to emerge from the Play-In Round.

So far, two teams have been selected from the play-in rounds, namely Lightning Wolves and TL. The lightning wolf stabilizes the abuse of vegetables.

TL is not far behind.

In Li Luo's view, Vietnam's PVB team has a good chance to win in the knockout round.

As Li Luo expected, Vietnam played brilliantly in B05, beating their opponents 3-0 and advancing to the group stage.

There are no groups in the group stage, and each team will play the other team twice, which means that each team will play 10 B01s.

The first match of the group stage of this MSI tournament was between the former dynasty SKT team and G2 from Europe. Although it was BO1, this game undoubtedly cheered up all the members of the Thorn Birds team.

If the Thorn Birds were to give a ranking of the teams they were watching, the top two would undoubtedly be SKT and G2.

In Li Luo's impression of BO1, SKT tried to prove that it had broken through the trough, and SKT lost to G2. and also made Ah P in the limelight.

But this time, that time.

At the beginning of the year, when Bang and OLF did not go to North America but chose to stay in the team for another year, Li Luo vaguely realized that A, who had been a two-time World Finals champion, had the ambition to hit the championship again after two years of silence.

The trajectory of human destiny is actually very wonderful.

A single decision can lead to a reversal in a person's life.

Li Luo didn't know if it was because of his appearance that Bang gave up the idea of going to North America, but since Bang dared to make such a choice, Li Luo would undoubtedly look down on him.

And the facts have also proved that bang's state has remained quite stable, and SKT's current team can indeed create a good space for bang to play.

It is different from the SKT lineup team in the S9 season before Li Luo's impression of rebirth.

At that time, SKT introduced Teddy, the captain of the former aircraft fleet, and he and ta formed a duo partner.

But since S4, there has been a lot of controversy about their performance in the World Championships.

And Teddy also exposed himself as a soft-footed shrimp in the competition with G2 at that time. Bang is different.

His mentality is destined to not fluctuate too much in Bang's performance in the face of the big competition. And Bang's world tournament experience is too stable.

MSI's champion? He's already taken it.

In the face of the various taunts of G2 on Twitter before the game, SKT obviously had a little anger in his heart. However, it has to be mentioned that the G2 team has maintained their brave style when it comes to selecting personnel.

Jace and the Spider are the Ueno combination, and the European team faces the strongest player in the LCK, SKT, and dares to choose it directly. This attitude of "even if I lose, I have to stand and lose" is extremely popular in League of Legends circles around the world.

SKT picked their favorite lineup in the league, using faker's mid-laner Czar to pick up the signature hero Blind Monk for lid, and Khan on the top laner to pick crocodiles, trying to put pressure on Jace in the laning period.

In terms of support, he chose a bull head for OLF and paired it with Ezreal of Bang to go down.

If this lineup is in the LPL division, it will inevitably be criticized by countless netizens. The combination of a bull's head and Ezreal is too abstract.

Especially if it's still against Xialuo.

However, on the SKT team's side, there was another bang

This time it showed the charm of Ezreal in the LCK division.

Both sides were in a stable posture at the beginning, but when the game time came to 10 minutes, Lid's blind monk made a wonderful wave, touched his eyes and flashed to adjust the angle, and kicked Luo back.

His kick is incomparably exquisite, and after the angle is adjusted, there is a trace of Xia on the way Luo is kicked away.

Ah P's reaction speed is very fast, and he followed up the ultimate move at the first time, but when he was barbed, he was jumped away by Ezreal of Bang to avoid it, although the bull head was charged, but Olf was controlled in seconds at the moment when he was charged, and the backhand followed up with a wave of Q flash to Ah P, and cooperated with the blind monk to quickly kill Xia.

SKT took out the dragon with this wave of kills in the bottom lane.

However, the 2-0 head-to-head ratio lasted until 15 minutes before it was broken.

The underdog has a chance to kill solo and fight under the tower after consuming enough crocodile health, but Khan proves to the world that you can trust Khan all the time as long as it's not the final game.

Faced with Jace's Q skill in melee form, the crocodile flashed in reverse to avoid the damage of the hammer, and then bit Jace with his backhand.

Jace, who has a combo, is attacked by the tower and the crocodile when the hammer form AOE damage is affected by the crocodile, and the tower and the crocodile's control team up to complete the counter-kill.

After killing Jace once, Khan's crocodile suddenly got out of control, and after a wave of gank from the blind monk killed Jace again, the canyon pioneer collided again and exploded directly on the road.

With a huge enough advantage, Khan, who was unforgiving, used the crocodile to push under the second tower, and at this time an embarrassing situation appeared, and the spider came over to cooperate with Jace to catch this meaty, explosive and tall crocodile.

Ruiz drove over to catch him, but was escaped by Khan's false move with two consecutive E flashes.

Since then, although G2 has also successfully counterattacked, SKT has always kept G2's resource replacement in a state of loss by virtue of its old and spicy operation.

When the game time came to 33 minutes, G2, which had an economic difference of 10,000, fought for a wave but was beaten by SKT for two for four, and only G2 who was left with AD was unable to return to the sky and was bulldozed by SKT, and SKT won the first win.

The thorn bird everyone looked very seriously.

Although there were only 12 heads in the game, it was undeniable that the quality of the game was high from a professional point of view.

"SKT's operations continue as usual...... No, it should be said that the blind man who is better than the previous two years still has a saying." The incense pot stared at the screen, looking very interested.

From the perspective of the next lid's whimsy, the incense pot was very attentive.

Although lid has played LPL before, and the two sides have also played against each other, but after going to SKT, lid has obviously improved again. "I just don't know if his blind rhythm is still so good."

Liu Qingsong said with a smile that LID was a blind man, and he was famous.

He also didn't quite understand why G2 didn't want to split a lid when they faced SKT with so many bans for Khan.

"To be reasonable, this Khan is a bit fierce, I feel like I can't beat him 1v1, he is very skilled as a crocodile, and when I watch K's review, I feel that he has a lot of fierce heroes, like Captain Jace, who is his unique skill, and weapons."

Brother Saint Lancer shook his head, "It's difficult."

"The bottom road is actually quite stable, and I feel that Bang's state is much better than last year." Liu Qingsong also said thoughtfully.

"To be honest, I don't see anything."

When it was Night's turn to speak, Nightshade shrugged. This is his truth.

From the perspective of a medium-sized unit, Xiye feels that this faker's performance can give a passing score at most.

On the contrary, aps flew around all kinds of ways to try to bring rhythm to the team, but G2's jungler Jankos was like drinking fake wine, and lid's blind man kicked his head full of bags.

Of course, a game doesn't mean anything.

choose

The mistakes of the hands are all minor problems, as long as the overall rhythm of the team is not chaotic, then the growth curve of this team is benign.

Xiao Dongdong, who came to Vietnam as a substitute, also expressed his opinion. "Feeling.... It's not very powerful."

Xiao Dongbei said very straightforwardly.

When everyone finished expressing their opinions, their eyes converged on Li Luo. The same is true for Zhu Kai.

Li Luo pondered for two seconds, then went to the whiteboard and drew a circle on Faker's avatar. As soon as this circle was drawn, Zhu Kai understood.

faker。

The undisputed first core of this SKT dynasty.

It can be said that the reason why SKT is SKT is because there is a person named faker in the SKT team.

Even though theoretically there is a relationship between the club and the player, this man is an exception. With South Korea attaching enough importance to the e-sports industry, faker's status can be imagined.

But is faker's state really good?

Every pro has his slumps. Faker is no exception.

However, if Li Luo is allowed to evaluate, faker's career is added together, and the real downturn is actually S9.

Not only this game, but it is not difficult to see that returning to the LCK league dominated by SKT is now more and more inclined to play the kind of big core that gives the team a foundation in the later stage, rather than playing the hero of the line, nor the hero with rhythm.

This is actually a very bad sign for the player personally.

On the surface, it seems that he chose the big core hero because he believed in faker's post-arry ability.

As a matter of fact...... Is there a possibility, because at this moment, including faker, they all feel that in this version in addition to ensuring their ability to play in the later stage, other aspects are ..... Aren't they that good anymore?

Of course, at this time, faker is far from the extent of the team's shortcomings, and his career state has only ushered in his own period of volatility again.

But don't forget that the amount of water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest plank. Li Luo didn't say much, because it didn't make sense to say more at this time.

After all, the butterfly effect has already occurred, and Li Luo does not dare to guarantee 100% whether faker is hiding or SKT. What they have to do is get over the current one first.

Lightning wolf. Old rivals.
