After a few days of training, the TI7 China Qualifiers officially kicked off, with each team competing in nine BO1 points matches in the first two days of the tournament.

The result of the group stage did not surprise the serenity people, showing the true colors of the king of the civil war, with a record of seven wins and two losses, and locked a TI place in advance.

LGD's performance was somewhat unexpected by Kyung Joon, not because they didn't play well, but because they played too well. They finished top of the group at the halfway point after the first day of competition, but the second day seemed to be in a dip and they lost the crucial battle to finish second in the group with six wins and two losses.

"LGD is so powerful?" Ever since Charles heard Kyung Joon's dictation of his relationship with LGD, he inexplicably began to be hostile to this team, and when he saw LGD's good performance in this qualifier, he was a little angry for a while, "Can they also enter TI?" ”

However, the super who was the most optimistic about LGD before the game remained calm and said: "Not necessarily, the later knockout round is BO3, which is different from the rhythm of BO1." ”

"It's true that LGD is very one-dimensional in the group stage." Regarding Super's opinion, Kyung Joon also nodded in agreement, "It's easy to be targeted in the knockout round if you play like this." ”

There are nine matches in the group stage, but LGD's BP has always been the same, whether they win or lose.

Compared with super's caution, Kyung Joon said more bluntly: "To be honest, I don't think this LGD can go far now, and they have a problem with their style of play." ”

Hearing Jing Zhunrui's comment on LGD, Charles immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What's the problem?!" ”

"Their strengths were contained by themselves, or they took the initiative to expose their team's fixed style of play." Jing Zhun didn't sell Guan Zi, and explained directly, "You should all know the personal ability of the old eleven, and it should be the core strength in which team it is placed in, there should be no doubt about this, right?" ”

"No ......"

Even Charles honestly agrees, because the current eleven is indeed the world's top No. 3.

Kyung continued, "But his individual ability can only be reflected when LGD has the number three position as a core, rather than treating him as a mere rhythm point or a teamfight tool. ”

Charles may not understand, but PYW and SUPER know very well, and Kyung Joon is right.

"But after watching so many games, I found that LGD's No. 1 position ame will only play big cores, and at the same time, may is also a mid-laner that needs to take up a lot of resources, so Lao Eleven has become a pure team tool from the perspective of the selected heroes and the way of playing, and he must give up resources to the No. 1 and No. 2 positions."

super groaned for a while, and then answered: "So when playing LGD, as long as you can find a way to pinch the old eleven in the line period, LGD will have no rhythm, right?" ”

"Almost." Although super's conclusion is not completely consistent with Kyungjoon's thoughts, it is generally consistent, and Kyungjoon didn't think to continue to add, but said, "Old Eleven is the key point for LGD to win, and his performance is even more important than Maybe's play." If I'm right, in the knockout stage, the other teams will definitely make a move! ”

"Is that so?"

Jing Jung's call fell on Charles's ears, and it became "LGD can't swim out of the qualifiers", the little fat man was relieved, and raised his classic thumbs and boasted: "Cow, Brother Zhun, Cow!" ”

As it turns out, the professional teams are not fools, and LGD suffered a defeat in their first game after entering the knockout round, losing 0:2 to NewBee.

NewBee's victory is not based on a wealth of experience, nor on a player's extraordinary performance, but on their unique style of play. It was also this round of knockout that left an indelible impression on Kyung Joon with an ID -

a！

The restoration of the shrine has suffered a mechanical nerf, which means that 7.06 is not actually a version of the weak lane, and the reason why serenity and IG's weak lane can be cleared is purely due to super personal ability and near-perfect chemistry.

So what if an ordinary team encounters LGD?

Kaka gives the standard answer, and that is - give up the disadvantaged path!

In both matches against LGD, Kaka used Xiaoqiang, and he may have appeared on NewBee's underdog lane for less than 5 minutes in the laning period, except for helping kpii hooks, he has been wandering back and forth between the middle lane and his own advantage lane, looking for gank opportunities.

This style of play may not be easy to use against teams that are good at fighting C in the early and middle stages, but it is perfect restraint when encountering LGD.

Ame can only hit the big core, and even if he is fat online, there is only one thing he can do for a long time after that - continue to brush money!

Kaka, who was freed from the shackles of the alignment, almost single-handedly dominated the rhythm of the entire alignment period.

The first is the gank who doesn't spare his life.,As long as there's a chance to kill.,Kaka will never spare his life.,It's a one-for-one when you go up.,Even if you die first and don't have experience, you don't care.,Because even if it's dead.,Kaka still has something to do.。

There is always only one choice that Kaka will make after the resurrection, and that is TP's own mid lane, filling the magic bottle with the spring buff he brought out. Counting the mouthfuls he took the initiative to feed, every time he died, Kaka was able to send four warm bottles.

After that, Kaka will not share experience in the middle lane, but will give May a bite of mana to burn and then decide the next move depending on the game time. In the two matches with NewBee, maybe was stunned and failed to control even a single effect rune during the lane match.

From the perspective of personal ability, especially the ability to line up, today's may is a lot stronger, but after kaka took out such an unprecedented set of play, LGD was stunned to find that maybe's mid-laner was suppressed!

The tempo of both matches was similar, with Kaka helping NewBee's mid and dominant lanes to create a big advantage by actively moving around.

NewBee's No. 1 position uuu9 has always been criticized for the use of large cores, but the use of puppy and other fights C is really above the level. Through the economic advantages accumulated online, NewBee achieved an absolute advantage in the early and middle stages of two consecutive games, and won the knockout match with LGD with a crushing attitude.

"This kaka is too good at playing LGD, right?!" pyw seemed to be touched a lot, and asked, "Brother Zhun, should we be wary of NewBee's new way of playing?" ”

pyw was worried that Kaka's harassment of the middle lane would be greatly affected even if it was Kyungjoon, but Kyungjoon shook his head without hesitation: "No, this set is not good for us!" ”

Put Serenity on the way to the edge? Dream!

LGD wants to keep yao in the dominant lane to create a space for ame to have no fertilizer, serenity is not needed, can he kpii and?!

……

As Kyung Joon said, LGD really couldn't keep going, and after losing to NewBee, they lost to LFY in the lower bracket, and unfortunately said goodbye to TI7.
