As the curtain came down on the third day of competition, there seemed to be a dark cloud rising over the LPL division.

For the spectators, the process of this continental competition was more unacceptable than before.

After all, since the beginning of the continental competition, LPL has won the continental championship for two consecutive years.

In the Tian Ji Sai left by the ancestors, it is still more convenient for China to use after all.

However, Tian Ji horse racing aside, even in the group stage, the LPL region has never played a situation where only one team has won the LCK region.

JD.com lost to Griffin on the first day of the group stage.

Although the Thorn Bird has broken KZ, it is followed by SKT and returned to color, even if the process does not seem to be so smooth, and even FPX once got the advantage, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that in terms of individual ability of the players and team operation, the SKT team is better than FPX.

FPX's attack was like a stormy wave, and the sudden attack of the huge wave was terrifying, but as soon as one wave was stopped, the scale of the huge wave seemed to gradually begin to wane.

To put it bluntly, if FPX wants to win SKT, in addition to the state of its own team, it also needs to use some novel tactics to have a chance.

But if SKT wants to win FPX, it only needs to get the regular lineup and develop steadily to the later stages.

As the group stage win of LCK vs. LPL came to 2-1, the Korean media also began to hype it up, and at the same time avoided the importance and belittled the LPL division.

Your team led by Li Luo is awesome, right? OK, then let's put aside the thorn birds and talk about the LPL division.

In the process of talking about the LPL division, he also gave Li Luo a hat, for example, publicizing Li Luo's existence broke the balance of the LPL division, causing other teams to be unenterprising and not wanting to pursue the championship, etc.

The scariest thing is that there are really people who don't know if it's a skewer or who shares a brain with Moffett will be taken to the rhythm.

In just one night, the anti-bar became a miasma.

Countless voices that had been silent in the septic tank quickly emerged.

Of course, at this time, only a very few people will target the Thorn Birds, and the vast majority of them are spraying losses to the two teams of the LCK.

】

Among them, the biggest rhythm band is "conspiracy theory." ”

Words such as "serving the country with loyalty" swept out overwhelmingly.

After all...... In addition to the Thorn Birds, the other three teams participating in the continental competition this time all have Korean aid.

Team JD.com's IMP, FPX's Doinb, Team TOP's Loken and Ben.

All of these are Korean players.

If you lose, everything is wrong.

Netizens have 10,000 reasons to lash out at it.

However, just when the remarks on the Internet turned upside down, except for the thorn birds of the four teams of the LPL team, the coaches of the other three teams were very experienced and asked the players not to browse the forum.

Early that night.

In the training room, the top team is still training against the Thorn Bird team.

Li Luo still has a certain understanding of the tactical style of this year's DWG team.

Therefore, he asked the team to simulate the style of DWG and top training.

The results are surprisingly good.

Although DWG's tactical style in the S9 season also relies on the midfield to lead the rhythm, on the whole, DWG's midfield is more inclined to wander.

But Showmaker's laning ability is there again, and to put it bluntly, DWG is a team that purely relies on midfield ability to penetrate the opponent in the laning period, and then radiate to the whole picture.

But in fact, the tactical style of the top team is theoretically restrained by DWG.

First of all, theoretically the left hand to the line is not afraid of showmaker.

Both of them are top-ranked players in Hanbok, and there are not many fights on weekdays, and the left hand is also very straightforward to say that he is not afraid of showmaker, and can even press him to fight.

Since the heart of the wild bear was frozen, his strength has also improved to a certain extent, although he is relatively comprehensive, although the wild area may not be able to fight against the third uncle at this time, but if he dies in the jungle position, he can fight with the bear.

After all, every player needs time to grow, and no matter how strong the third uncle is, S9 is not the era for him to shine.

In addition, the effect of the tactical simulation is good, whether it is Zhu Kai or the white crescent of the top team, they seem to be relieved.

However, Li Luo always has some hidden worries about tomorrow's game.

Before the actual battle, everything has to be labeled "theoretically".

And there are too many factors that affect actual combat.

First, the current TOP has become the only remaining team in the group stage LPL, even if Zhu Kai has been pouring chicken soup on them, saying that the outcome of this game is not critical, after all, even the last place in the continental competition can play the knockout round.

The group stage is actually more of a warm-up for both regions.

Even if the LPL group is second, it is nothing more than abusing the LMS and VCS hot players again.

But it is not yet known whether TOP will have stage fright tomorrow.

It is also unknown whether the left hand will be able to play its due strength in the tournament.

Li Luo of the gang also helped, and the Thorn Bird and even the other two LPL teams have also done their due work, and now they can only rely on themselves.

Day 3 of the group stage.

It is also the last day of the group stage.

LMS and VCS were as always, they ended the entire group stage without winning a game, and were shaved by the LPL and LCK.

Looking at their appearance, they seem to have seen it, and the Korean audience does not boo them, and even applauds their "experience baby" behavior, and regards this event as a tour, isn't it beautiful?

With the end of the last game in the LMS division, the smell of gunpowder on the scene and on the Internet began to thicken.

The showdown between DWG and TOP has kicked off.

The coaches at the DWG look serious.

They don't know how the LPL teams are going to play.

But in terms of TOP's performance on the first day of the group stage, the LCK division still attaches great importance to TOP.

Therefore, the LCK division has also made a lot of preparations.

As soon as the top three bans of the two sides appeared, Li Luo in the backstage lounge frowned.

The two teams have different styles and different emphases.

For the DWG, what they need is to get a strong hero in the midfield, especially the showmaker in the mid lane, if they can get Sindra, then the showmaker in the middle lane will be very confident.

For the top teams, although the line power in the middle lane is equally important, what is more important is the raging jungler.

If you can get the bear's signature wine barrel, then the rhythm of the TOP and the opening of the group in the early, middle and late stages will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

TOP didn't press Sindra on the blue side, and according to their original intentions, they obviously wanted to rob Sindra.

But the DWG team released the cat in the first three hand bans.

This last ban position released the current version of the non-ban mandatory cat, which is clearly putting pressure on the TOP coaching staff.

And when the cat came out on the first floor of the top after hesitating, MLXG stared at the side and said: "Don't, don't do this, you feel like the bucket is gone." ”

Li Luo stared at the screen and was silent.

White crescent moon.

As one of the earliest professional players in ancient times, Li Luo paid attention to White Crescent when he was playing professionally in Huayi.

At that time, Li Luo was too young, but as he grew older, he clearly knew that in that era, the jungler blind monk himself rarely appeared on the competition stage, but it was the original "unique brother" white crescent moon that brought the blind monk to the competition stage.

Speaking of which, the white crescent moon has contributed a lot to the LPL, but after becoming a coach, he has certain flaws in both BP and coaching ability.

It's like now.

Due to the Korean team's version being understood very thoroughly, the white crescent did not dare to let the cat to DWG.

Therefore, he gave up the core of the team and chose to grab the agency, playing this kind of hero who can play for his own family, but is definitely not very proficient.

The moment they saw the TOP lock the cat, many players in the lounge knew that this TOP might be in the trap.

As expected.

Team DWG snatched the barrel and Sindra straight away.

The two TOP heroes that are best at were directly taken by DWG.

The subsequent BP has been unsightly.

TOP knows that this version doesn't like to play with kegs very much.

Hence the default is that the barrel is on the road.

But in the end, the DWG shook the barrel to the auxiliary position.

TOP took Nar to 369 on the road, Ur Bear for the jungler, and then Ike for the left hand, which made the players in the backstage lounge a little more confident in the discussion.

Loken added Wheel Mom as the core AD, which makes the lineup they take out quite a bit of a reference to the Thorn Birds.

"In that case...... It feels okay, but the AD on the DWG team's side can't survive. ”

Liu Qingsong said.

DWG chose to go down the road with a barrel with Calista.

There is no problem with suppressing the wheel mother, but once she is locked by Wei when playing in the group, it will be difficult for Calista or Sindra in the middle to survive.

But it is worth mentioning that this one played with a male gun.

At the same time, DWG's road finally finalized a hand of sword demons.

The face of the white crescent moon is not particularly good-looking.

The authorities are obsessed.

Although the white crescent moon felt uncomfortable in the process of BP and felt that he had been trapped, it was only after he stepped down that he realized how outrageous his BP was.

It is equivalent to being completely led by the nose by the opponent.

In this regard, Li Luo could only sigh slightly.

Although countless players have been incompetent in the left-handed contest, he is able to counter against Syndra with a more assassin-type hero like Ike.

Most midlaners can't do that.

There was no attacking pressure on the top in this game.

Therefore, the initial top play is not impatient.,Use the characteristics of Ike E's skill to perfectly restrain Sindra's pushing.,In the early days, the wild bear cooperated with the left hand to hit Sindra's flash.。

But then Xiong Xiong was caught dead in the wild area, to be precise, he was caught to death by Aker and two people, and Sindra, who was beaten home, fell into an eye position deep into the top wild area, and outflanked Xiong Xiong from the rear by surprise.

At this time, the left hand in the middle of the lane has the advantage of clearing the line, and even if it is realized at the first time, it will not be able to support it at all.

After Sindra's putt from extreme distance, the male gun successfully gained the head.

The top who was taken a blood was obviously a little anxious in terms of play.

The ills of a new, not-so-mature team are all on display.

First of all, when 369's Nar tried to get stuck in the last moment of the ultimate duration, he jumped up and stunned the Sword Demon, and then transformed into a little Nar to give the Sword Demon a set of spa, which happened to be the right time to catch it.

If this wave of male guns doesn't come, 369 does have a chance to kill alone.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

After the opening 2/0, the pressure on the wild area began to grow infinitely.

What really started to collapse was a wave of encounters in the middle that broke out at 7 and a half minutes.

Showmaker smashed a set of ultimates directly on Ike's face after pushing the ball to Ike, although he couldn't kill Ike, but pressed Ike's blood line to a very low level.

In the shadows, the male gun throws out a big move, and then harvests a head.

Then in the middle of TOP, he relied on the cat's ultimate move to cooperate with Wei to play two good counterattacks, but after each kill, TOP only harvested dry heads, and there was no substantial snowball progress.

This also led to the fact that before the two sides began to pick up the group, the TOP economy was already 3,000 yuan behind.

And the left hand seems to have begun to deform slightly in the case of continuous inaction.

To put it bluntly, there has been some change in mentality.

On the contrary, it is the Korean Loken who survives to the end many times with the output of hard work in this situation where his development can only be regarded as average, helping TOP continue the fire.

However, when the game time came to 29 minutes, Loken was still caught, and after the last wave of his flash was hit by the male gun's W after hitting the E skill shield, Showmaker's flash push hit it, and the pull E stepped forward with it, and the Q wall melted instantly with a set of outbursts.

In the end, it played a luxurious record of 9/0 and bulldozed the top in a wave.

Although the TOP game was played for about 30 minutes, the overall sense of depression for the LPL audience was much greater than when SKT played against FPX before.

In four words, it is......

Pressed and beaten.

And with the end of this game, the scene is like a party, and tonight is destined to be a carnival for Koreans.

TOP everyone walked off the stage dejectedly.

And tonight will also be the heaviest blow that LPL has suffered after two years of invincibility.

"It's better to let IG, EDG, and RNG go to the three old powerhouses, what is this fighting?"

"So, it's not LPL that's strong, it's Brother Shine, right?"

"Everything appears under the sun, maybe it's really like what the Korean media said, no one wants to compete for the championship anymore, and they all want to clock in and go to work."

"Upstairs has a bad brain, so I suggest I go to find the Thunderbolt King Dian Yidian."

"I can't figure out the brain circuits of this group of people, can this be thrown on the head of the person who shouldn't be dumped the most?"

"Thorn Bird's tactics are so strong, share it and help other teams."

"The fact is that with the format of the continental competition, a team can't win with the Thorn Birds alone, and I'll be honest this time LCK is really strong, whether it's Griffin or DWG, it makes me feel like I'm dreaming back to S5 and S6."

"Isn't it ...... Thorn birds, you can't beat them, can you? ”

"It's very likely, to be honest, although the MSI Thorn Bird ran over this time, SKT's strength feels like it is the worse of the four teams, which doesn't mean anything."

……

It was destined to be a dark night for LPL.
