In the TOP training room in the afternoon.

The team members are all bowing their heads to pack up the peripherals they are going to use on the field, and they quickly tear off the data cables of the keyboard and mouse from the interface of the case, roll them up into a ball and stuff them into their backpacks.

"Forget it, I'd better bring some bananas to the scene." Guo Hao raised his hand and glanced at the time on his watch to make a final decision.

Although the players had a full meal at 12 o'clock, today's schedule was too long.

TOP has three BO1 games guaranteed, and there is a good chance that there will be a play-off, and if they lose to SKT in the second round of BO1, both sides will have to play one more play-off game to decide who will win the group.

Now the other two groups, Roxtiger and SSG, two Korean teams, are gaining momentum, and there is a high probability that they will lock up the top spot in the group.

The TOP will also have to top a group to ensure they avoid these teams in the quarter-finals.

If you can meet later, try to meet as late as possible, not that you are afraid.

Instead, I hope that others can force the hole cards of these two teams out a little.

After all, after so many years of experience in the World Championships, the Korean team has always started low and walked high in the World Championships, and as the schedule progresses, the strength and dominance they show on the field will become stronger and stronger!

In order to prevent the players from going hungry and falling into a state of starvation, which will affect the performance on the field.

It's better to bring an emergency food like bananas.

After the group packed their luggage, they put on their backpacks and walked outside, and as soon as they walked out of the hotel, they saw other members of the other A team also standing at the door, as if they were planning to leave for the city hall scene.

Hearing the footsteps, the G2 players suddenly turned around.

Perkz did not have hostility towards the TOP people because he was tortured and killed by the TOP many times, and even took the initiative to greet Li Hansheng, giving full play to his true character of being a fun person, "Hello, noob! Are you ready to be ganked by me today? ”

0-3 can still be such an optimistic joke.

Only a top musician like Ah P can have such a mentality.

But then again, the pressure on European and American players in the competition area is not so great, and their spectators have long been lying flat, to be able to enter the quarterfinals is a victory, to break into the semi-finals has far exceeded expectations, and to enter the finals is to create a miracle.

What??

Winning the championship?

The world must not be far from destruction.

After all, with the laziness of European and American players, facing the LPL and LCK regions with various volume kings, the probability of winning the championship is almost no less than an asteroid hitting the earth.

"Luca, are you serious?" Li Hansheng also responded with a smile, "Then you should also prepare to be ganked by me." ”

As soon as he heard this, perkz immediately shook his head, "Don't, brother, I'm kidding, it's too difficult to kill you, I'm not sure, our goal today is to kill C9 and SKT." ”

"If that's the case, then I'll support you."

"By the way, I'll come to you in the evening."

Li Hansheng's face changed suddenly!!

Looking for yourself at night?

He had heard that the atmosphere of banana burning in Europe and the United States was very popular.

"Let's exchange uniforms."

"That's fine."

Li Hansheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Perkz would say that the two of us would go into the room to communicate alone, then he really couldn't stand it.

After a few small talks, Perkz left with his teammates, while Lee Hansheng and the others were still waiting for the coaching staff to come downstairs and leave for the game after a while.

………………

After a few days of recuperation, the fighting has resumed and the municipal hall is still full today.

And......

It may be that I haven't watched the game for several days, but today I can suddenly vent my accumulated emotions, and the atmosphere of the scene is also set off by the audience's extraordinary restlessness!

Starting today, the 4-day second round of the group stage is about to begin, and the first day will be the match of the recognized Group of Death, Group A!

As the game was about to begin, the lights were turned off and the countdown began to appear on the large screen used for broadcasting.

When the countdown reaches zero, all the lights come on again, and the cheers and screams of the audience are endless!

The screen also began to play the highlights captured from all the matches in the first round of Group A!

And after the wonderful shot, there is the picture of the contestants being interviewed.

These days are not just resting, and I also need to cooperate with riot's interview work.

Riot is an America company after all, and America has Super Bowl, NBA, ice hockey, baseball, ...... They have very mature experience in event operation in all kinds of sports, and they are familiar with this kind of routine.

It's not enough to rely on competitions alone, there are also other supporting things to promote the overall value of the League of Legends brand together!

It's like a piece of land, if you only have one house, it's not worth much.

But if you have subways, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, and other supporting facilities nearby, then the value of this land is immeasurable!

Li Hansheng appeared in the picture and talked eloquently.

"This is the first year of my career and my first time in the professional league, I've been winning in the LPL and I hope to keep winning at Worlds! What is lost in the LPL division is up to us to get it back! We will also help the audience get back the honor they want! A three-game winning streak in the first round of the group stage is just the beginning! ”

It is followed by SKT's mid-laner, faker, known as the big demon king!

"In the first round we didn't play our best, TOP is a strong opponent, but there is no player who can impress me, in the second round we will play 100% form, not lose a game, and then regain the top spot in the group that should belong to us!"

Boy.

The leaders of both teams said that they wanted to go undefeated, but who could win?

The content of the interview is completely in contention between the two sides, and the strong smell of gunpowder spreading from the screen completely ignites the atmosphere of the scene!!

Fans on both sides waved glow sticks in their hands, and some even held signs with player IDs written on them to show their support for the players on the field!

This was followed by interviews with Perkz and Sneaky, two of the stars of their respective teams.

The video is closed, with the four players clasping their hands in front of their chests, and the camera slowly zooms out until the panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge behind the players is also presented in the frame.

"Good morning, audience members in front of the screen!" Zeyuan's voice sounded in the domestic live broadcast room.

Sitting on the commentary bench today are him and Wang Laoer, although they are newcomers, but with their excellent performance in the LPL league commentary seat, the two have become the focus of training in the LPL region.

You can see it from the number of commentary sessions.

This time, there are a lot of commentaries in China, Su Xiaoyan, Long Hair, Hallucination, and Liang Xiao Umbrella............

But today they were asked to come, but let Zeyuan and Wang Lao Er sit on the commentary seat.

TOP is currently the team that attracts the most attention from domestic audiences!

"Welcome to the fifth matchday of the 2016 World Finals, which is still the live broadcast of the final day of Group A in the second round of group stage!"

"The No. 1 seeded team TOP in our LPL region will meet their ultimate test in the group stage today!"

"Whether you can qualify smoothly, or whether you can qualify as the first, the results will be completely revealed today!"

Wang Lao Er took over the conversation smoothly, but he was quite optimistic, "TOP is a 3-0 start, which means that they only need to win one game in the second round, so that their number of wins is 4, and they can qualify steadily, I don't think it's a big problem, the only thing to be careful about is SKT." ”

"Everybody knows that...... SKT is a team with a strong ability to learn and adjust their form, and TOP must be fully prepared to deal with the menacing SKT! ”

At this time.

The director gives the current standings of the four groups.

In Group B, Roxtiger is the best player, also dominating the group with a three-game winning streak, followed by RNG and North American second seed CLG, who still have no clear style of play and are struggling with RNG, the core of the team, and they will have to fight CLG for a qualifying spot.

In Group C, SSG also topped the group, followed by H2K and ANX third, while FW, the No. 1 seed in the LMS region, was at the bottom of the group, and they had not even won their first group game, and were ridiculed as a shame for the five major regions.

Group D was originally the group with the clearest qualifying situation, and it is also recognized as a group with weak competitiveness, but because of EDG's poor performance, this group looks more like a 'group of death' than Group A......

It was also in this time and space that the world line changed because of the emergence of Li Hansheng, and EDG became the second seed in the LPL region.

According to the original history, the No. 1 seed teams in the G2, EDG, and FW regions were all bloodied in the group stage.

It was also this World Championship that made these three teams completely sit on the name of the Three Phantom Gods of the Civil War.

[It's worthy of you, the three phantom gods of the foreign war, all TM are at the bottom of the group, right?? 】

[TMD, what is the significance of this stupid team occupying a place? Every year, TM stably sends points to EDG, and their sons are not as close as they are. 】

[I doubt that in the garbage state of EDG, if there is no AHQ to send warmth, EDG can also give you a 0-3 record believe it or not? 】

[Waste Mingkai, eight paintings, the top eight every year, this year I can't even hold the top eight? ] 】

[Please ask Mingkai to retire quickly, it's really disgusting to put aside that marketing dream every day. 】

[Little Peanut is a carnivorous jungler, An Zhangmen is a herbivorous jungler, Mr. Pot is a hunger strike-type jungler, and TM's waste Mingkai is a scavenging jungler, and he is only worthy of TM picking up other people's leftovers in the wild area to eat. 】

[Is there mildew in the EDG club? ] It's really unlucky every year, as soon as I arrived at the World Championship, TM was like changing teams, S4 Nami's beef noodles, S5's Jin Chuan Deng, and this year's factory director TM's thief was outrageous, and he was kicked by the blind monk in the TM wild card area. 】

The audience in the domestic live broadcast room sent barrages to express their accumulated dissatisfaction with the factory director.

Piglets, who were originally huge and can be said to be the largest fan group in the domestic e-sports circle, have also chosen to play dead in the past few days, and even lost their fans with many people and turned to become TOP fans.

It's really EDG, Ming Kai disappointed them too much.

Human patience is very limited, and once you exceed their patience, the fans will leave like mobs without looking back.

"Although the TOP started perfectly, with the experience of last year's C9, I think we still have to be careful." Zeyuan reminded, "The main thing is that the second round of the group stage will be played in one day, which means that the TOP will play 3 games today!" ”

"It's not like before, when you had a day to adjust after a game, and today when things go wrong, it's almost impossible to have time to adjust."

"I don't think there's any need to worry too much." Wang Lao Er shook his head and expressed his opinion, "It is precisely the experience of last year's C9, TOP will definitely be extra careful, and there are two players in the team, Wei Shen and imp, who also had a painful experience last year, and they will definitely dissuade their teammates." ”

Besides, although Noob is a newcomer, his mature psychological quality is far beyond that of ordinary newcomers, and he has his backing! TOP will not be extreme!! ”

According to the rules of the World Finals, the four clubs need to announce the starting line-up for the first game the night before, and can make changes on the spot.

All four teams in Group A will maintain their current staff.

After careful consideration, Li Hansheng still decided not to look for the white crescent moon to let him give Ah Shui a chance to play.

Be.

Ah Shui in his memory is a proper big heart, a big competition-type player.

S8's recklessness in the league that year caused IG to lose to RNG twice and miss out on two league championships, and at that time, the whole network ridiculed, and even IG's own fans were spraying him.

He's been under that pressure and he's getting better and better at Worlds.

But don't overlook a little!

At that time, he was already 17 years old, and with two more years of experience, he would naturally be more mature in terms of mentality.

Now he?

A 15-year-old kid, just let him feel the atmosphere of the scene, and really let him play, which is tantamount to pulling seedlings to help grow.

The first game of the day is TOP vs. C9.

"Since when we met in the first round, C9 was on the blue side and the TOP was on the red side, this round will be automatically adjusted, the TOP will come to the blue side, and C9 will come to the red side, guess what...... Will C9 leave this counter for the upper lane? ”

"Possibly." Wang Lao Er smiled, "Impact was teased by Noob's Teemo before, and he probably held his breath this time to get back to the field." ”

During the conversation between the two, the two sides on the field have officially started BP.

TOP chose to take the initiative to ban the policewoman of the women's clothing boss sneaky.

Although the blue side does not have a counter bit, in the current version, there are several heroes with a bit of supermodel strength.

For example, Leopard Girl, Sindra, Karma......

The red side must spend the ban slot to target, otherwise it will definitely be grabbed by the blue side.

Really.

C9 banned the leopard girl with a backhand, even in the collected data, there are not many games of the Kandi leopard girl, and the data is average.

But there's no room for trial and error.

If they want to qualify, they can't afford to make any mistakes and must nip everything that is possible in the cradle.

The TOP side chose to send Karma to the ban position, and C9 immediately sent Jace to the ban position as well.

In the last hand, the TOP side chose to give the ban directly to the clockwork, blocking the carry hero pool of the mid-laner jensen, and C9 chose to block the popular choice Rambo on the road in this World Championship!

"Huh? Sindra was released, and sure enough, the TOP seconds grabbed the most dominant hero in the middle of the current version! Ze Yuan smiled, "This is where the advantage of the blue side lies." ”

"C9's backhand locks Ember + Zyra, wow, this bottom lane combination is very strong!" Wang Lao Er exclaimed, "Without Karma, it seems that there is no assistance to deal with Zyra, and no matter what combination is chosen, the bottom lane of TOP will be very uncomfortable." ”

TOP doesn't care so much, second lock spider + ice.

"Cold Ice is a good choice, after all, Cold Ice's own line-clearing ability is acceptable." Ze Yuan analyzed the situation, "Although the ice has been weakened to a certain extent, the strength is still there, so it is not completely useless, not to mention that there is also a hand E in the early stage of the ice ice, which can detect the field of vision, can detect the position of the opponent's jungler, and the ultra-long-distance group opening attribute is also very scarce in this version!" ”

In the first round, the three teams of SKT, C9, and G2 all suffered the disadvantage of being on the road, and they suffered a loss of lack of ability to open the group head-on.

I could only watch Li Hansheng wear it on the side.

It is enough to see how lacking the ability to open a group of this version of the popular lineup.

"The Spider's rhythm driving ability in the early stage is also good, and Condi seems to be making up his mind to catch more of the line, and see who C9 intends to leave the counter position."

C9 seems to be weighing up.

Coach Reapered is communicating with the players, he actually has a certain relationship with the LPL, and he was one of the members of the EDG coaching staff when EDG won the championship at MSI during the S5 period.

It is precisely because of this resume that he can go to North America this year to enter a giant club like C9 to make money.

He also has a certain understanding of the LPL region.

Soon.

C9 responded!

Olaf + Weapon Master!!

It immediately attracted a burst of exclamations from the North American audience at the scene!

The Weapon Master is IMPACT's signature hero, and they have a champion skin!

"Wow!" Zeyuan also looked very surprised, "Is this going to be on the line with noob?" Impact wants to prove that he's not old, but he seems to have picked the wrong opponent. ”

"The last thing Noob is afraid of is being confronted by others."

"But C9's strong face lineup seems to be okay, but I don't know what they will choose in the middle? You can't choose an ice girl to enter the arena with you, right? Or take out a hand of the Enchantress? Neither of these heroes is easy to beat Sindra. ”

The white crescent moon was also slightly surprised.

After all, in the data collected before, meteos is hardly applicable to Olaf.

Sure enough, the opponents in the World Championship should not be underestimated.

The main thing is that Olaf is a hero who is not difficult to operate, and it is easy for top players to get started.

Jungler is more about ideas.

In this case, the wild area will suffer.

"Hansheng, what do you want to choose?" The white crescent asked, "With a sword?" ”

"No, no, no." Li Hansheng shook his head, "What kind of sword Ji does you use to fight the weapon master, of course you have to use a crocodile!" Impact knew back then that he had to ban a crocodile to dare to take a weapon, is this a crocodile that looks down on me? ”

"Dude has to give him a lesson today! Upper point strength!! ”

"Okay." White Crescent nodded.

The Spider is the jungler, which is a great wild partner for crocodiles.

Desert spiders playing with you?

These two heroes are estimated to be able to bring their weapons out of the psychological shadow beyond the tower.

"Okay then." White Crescent nodded, and then he spoke again, "Then let the green hair take Nami, let's open the two strong, the ability to find opportunities is stronger, and the initiative in the middle and late stages will also be in our hands." ”

TOP shows its choices.

Crocodile + Nami!

"Huh? Alligator? Ze Yuan and Wang Lao Er exclaimed at the same time, "Nami is not bad, after all, there are not many options left in the auxiliary position, but this crocodile? ”

"It can only be said that there is no problem, the crocodile is a recognized advantage against weapons." Wang Lao Er himself is a diamond level, and he knows some line situations very well.

"Yes." Ze Yuan seemed to think of something, "The crocodile weapon duel that didn't appear in the S3 finals that year was staged in S6 after three years, and the weapon is still impact, but the crocodile has changed from a superstar to a noob!" ”

"These three heroes took it out, and the combat effectiveness of the early stage of the TOP Uenakano is so strong!"

Truly.

Crocodile, Syndra, Spider, these three heroes are full of control and outbreak in the early stage, and the small-scale team battle is almost insoluble!!

The next thing is to look at the choice of the middle lane of the C9.

The commentators all feel that C9 has come up with a rushing system, so the mid-laner must also serve the rushing system.

But the hero that C9 took out was beyond everyone's expectations!

Old Man of Time - Kieran!

"Time?? Right! I remember! This hero seems to be the hero at the bottom of the box by Jensen! "Ze Yuan seems to have deliberately collected some data, and he actually knows this!!

"The old man of time is the standard hero of the European and American kings? I can't play time, and I'm embarrassed to say that I play in Europe and the United States. Wang Lao Er teased slightly.

The line-ups of both sides were thus formalized.

TOP is on the blue side and C9 is on the red side.

On the Road: Crocodile VS Weapon.

Jungler: Spider VS Olaf.

Mid Lane: Sindra VS Time.

Bottom Road: Ice + Nami VS Ember + Zyra!!

"One thing to say, the old man of C9's last hand directly revitalized the lineup, what a essence!" After thinking for a while, Wang Lao Er quickly analyzed, "Sometimes the old man is behind him, and the space for weapons and Olaf to operate in team battles is infinitely larger!" This is a mid-laner time, with enough economy to make equipment, and the amount of blood will be very healthy when he is resurrected by a big move, which is equivalent to having two lives! ”

"And the old man's big move, Kashindra! Your syndra set of outbursts equals a complete waste! ”

"Not to mention the acceleration effect of the old man of time, so that Olaf can also rush up, and the ability to run the map is also very strong, with the inherent advantages of the Olaf wild area, C9 This is obviously a well-prepared black technology!"

The more Wang Lao Er analyzed, the more he felt that the C9 lineup was terrifying, "noob must suppress the development of the weapon master, once the weapon is developed, it will be difficult to deal with the weapon that has time to protect the TOP side in the middle and late stages!" ”

"Wow......" Ze Yuan didn't know if he learned it from the doll, "C9 is a bit too much, you can use this kind of black technology to deal with SKT!" ”

"SKT is their biggest competitor, why are you playing this routine with TOP?"

No doubt!

After a careful comparison of the lineups of the two sides.

Everyone felt that the C9 lineup seemed to be even better!

The old man of the last counter position is almost a lore!
