After the teams have been introduced, the next step is the upcoming main event!!

MSI's schedule is actually quite simple, with a total of six teams playing a double round-robin group stage in the group stage, which means that each team needs to play 10 group stage matches.

The top four teams will then be ranked according to the points, and the bottom two teams will have to go straight home.

As for some of the rules for subsequent elimination, it is nothing more than that the team that wins the group can pick its opponent in the semi-finals, and once the group leader picks the fourth-ranked team, then the second and third places can only be dead!

This year, due to the expansion of the quota for the Worlds, this year's MSI ranking will affect the divisions of the divisions in this year's Worlds.

Like, in the timeline before Li Hansheng crossed, because We returned to China early on the MSI of S7 and failed to achieve too good results, combined with the poor results and performance in the S6 World Championship, the third seed in the LPL division could not directly advance to the main tournament, and needed to start from the play-in round.

This can be regarded as a small adjustment made by riot to make the teams in each region pay more attention to the MSI competition.

The schedule of the MSI main event has been confirmed early, and the opening match will be the top team against the spring champion TSM team from the North American region!!

From this, it can be seen that even Riot himself is trying to create all kinds of topics and gimmicks.

The audience is tired of watching such dramas as the China-South Korea War, and the TSM led by imp is invincible in the North American division this year, almost sweeping the entire North American division, and the reunion of old friends from both sides is also a highlight!

The top players are back in the bench and putting the finishing touches on before moving on to the custom game room created by the official judges!

Since the referee has not officially announced the start, the players on both sides have an opportunity to type and chat on the public screen before the game.

[Jiekuo, do you mind Lanzi, did you wash your neck last night? Today I'm going to slaughter you! 】

As soon as Imp came up, he began to taunt wildly, after this kid became fat, his heart and eyes also increased? He actually began to use the art of war.

Use this kind of off-the-field trick to interfere with the mentality of Yu Wenbo, a newcomer, right??

Konishi's eyes are very bad!

However, Li Hansheng still believes in Yu Wenbo's psychological endurance, and also believes in his ability to resist pressure, and he will definitely be able to deal with the pressure on the field.

[Didn't you wash your neck and wait for me to slaughter you? After this MSI, you will be forgotten by the top fans, and I will be the best perfect ADC in their minds!! 】

[It's a little interesting, don't call anyone in that nest a jungler, just fight the right line, let the nest come to Kang Yikang who is more powerful!!] 】

The two of them argued with each other back and forth, and no one refused to admit defeat, and at this time, the commentators on the commentary table were already ready!

"Welcome to the live stream of the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational!" Wang Lao Er is very full of spirit, "The two sides of the program battle are the top team from our division and the TSM team from the North American division!" This is also the first time that imp has faced his old club since leaving Top, and the battle between the two sides must be exciting! ”

The commentators also came to Brazil early, and they had already adjusted to the jet lag, just to be able to meet this MSI with a full mental state.

"This year's TSM is very fierce, let's just say, although they didn't complete the championship to win the championship, but they only lost two games in the regular season, and they were crushed all the way in the playoffs, so they can't be regarded as the TSM of the past."

Isn't that right?

It used to be Pilson and his four mobile real eye teammates, and now with the addition of imp and looper, it is a shrunken version of the Top configuration, relying on the top 3C to drive the team, but their Nosuke ability is also worse than Gao Tianliang and Shi Senming, if Nosuke is a little stronger, they may not lose in the regular season, but win the championship like Top!!

TSM is a North American giant, and there are even many fans who come to the game to cheer them on!

After the director cut a distant picture of the audience, he immediately switched the picture to the players on the stage, just seeing Gu Shengbin and Yu Wenbo typing frantically, and Li Hansheng laughed very happily.

"Hahaha, old friends reunited, are you chatting?" Wang Lao Er smiled and teased, "The relationship between the top players has always been very good, and we must talk more when we finally meet, after all, once the game starts, both sides will have to be their own masters, and the real guns will be done." ”

Some data of the two sides in their respective leagues were also released, and the audience was in an uproar!

Since they are all champions in their respective regions, the numbers are not far behind.

But......

Top and TSM's respective data are luxurious, listed as the first place in their respective leagues, although there will be a gap between the same spring champions, but before the real start, you still have to be cautious!

"The top teams get the right to choose sides, and they take the initiative to choose the blue side."

The main stage of MSI is that six teams play a double round-robin BO1, so each team will have the right to choose a side, and this time it will be TSM when the next time the two sides meet.

"If you play TSM, I think you still have to pay attention to the lower lane, although TSM claims to rely on 3C to drive the game, but I don't think there will be problems with the top and middle lanes, mainly the bottom lane, Jack will be eager to prove himself and go up when facing the predecessor of imp? And the strength of IMP is undoubted, right?? ”

"After all, he's the only man in the current shooter position with two championship skins!"

After giving the contestants a close-up, the director immediately switched the screen to the BP screen of both sides!

"As soon as the top came up, I chose to ban the ice! The intention is obvious! ”

Both sides have made an appointment for a training match before the game, so they have an understanding of some basic situations on both sides, in the training match, the bottom of the Top was indeed suppressed very badly, if it wasn't for the fact that Uenakano was powerful enough, it is estimated that it would really be overturned by Gu Shengbin alone, so it must be aimed at the bottom road!

TSM's ban strategy is aimed at the mid lane.

Now everyone knows that it is not cost-effective to bet on Li Hansheng at all, because Li Hansheng's hero pool is too deep, you can't ban it at all, it is better to target others.

They probably did a lot of homework and chose to ban Galio!

The second ban position, Top to the policewoman, is still aimed at the lower lane, and TSM is to send the enchantress to the ban position.

In the last round of bans, the top side will ban Verus!

"Oh my God?? Top is actually rare to give three bans directly to the lower lane? Guan Zeyuan's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "It can be seen that Top is really afraid of TSM's next road!" ”

The director immediately gave a close-up shot of Gu Shengbin, and the thief who is laughing at him now is happy, and people who are familiar with him can even tell from the shape of his mouth that he is saying the word 'lanzi'.

Probably just saying, look, I'm going to say that this group of lanzi will definitely target me.

And TSM is backhanding to ban Jace, although Jace is weakened, but in the hands of Li Hansheng, people in other divisions are extremely jealous!

Top here to grab Kalmar directly!

After Verus, the policewoman, and Han Bing were all sent to the ban position, EZ+Kalmar is currently the best choice for the next road.

Seeing this, TSM immediately locked on EZ+Sindra.

"Oh? TSM: Is this the bottom lane combination that wants to demolish Top? However, Top can take Kalmar to the middle of the swing, so it doesn't necessarily have to be EZ+Kalmar, right? ”

In fact, there is another reason that I didn't say, although Gu Shengbin is Korean, he has a clear difference from Korean ADC players in other LCK regions, and it can even be said that his style is a little more biased towards the LPL region.

That is, his EZ is more sincere than his other shooter heroes, without the ethereal feeling of bang and deft their pulling, of course, it is not that his EZ is completely inadequate, and diode thinking is not advisable.

It's just that his EZ is not as good as his other shooters.

TSM really thinks a little simple, is it just such a simple combination??

"It's no wonder that such a luxurious lineup will lose two more in the North American division." Homme muttered quietly, "Snatch Lulu, and take the big mouth too." ”

If Homme is the coach of the other party, he will definitely not think about seeing the move, but directly take another combination.

Lulu + Big Mouth are all in front of you, why don't you choose??

And TSM's choice is to lock in the blind monk and get a strong midfield combination.

"Decent BP." Wang Lao Er gave his own evaluation, you can't say that other people's BP is doing very badly, but it's not good enough, obviously there are better choices, but it just chooses the most central choice.

The two sides entered the second round of BP.

TSM naturally wants to continue to target the top lane and jungler, and send both Qinggang Shadow and the prince to the ban position.

Top's side backhanded both Shen and the barrel to the ban position.

It's clear that you won't get the bastard hero for looper, but TSM has a surprise for everyone!

Grab Kenan!

"Huh? Kennan? Wang Lao Er was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "This is to grab the ban, in the previous play-in tournament, the Vietnamese team GAM took out a hand of AD Kenan, and then each team has found it really easy to use in research." ”

The rise of AD Kenan is mainly due to the fact that AP Kenan was slashed by riot, and as a frequent visitor to the S6 World Championship, AP Kenan has played a famous scene.

And after entering S7, riot just made a modification to make AP Kenan play the thief uncomfortable.

In version 7.1, the designers directly modified Kenan's ultimate, reducing the initial base damage and increasing the subsequent damage.

In other words, Riot didn't want to see Kennan find a perfect opportunity to enter the arena and instantly electrocute the opposite backrow.

The tone was set at the beginning of the season, and this season was to delay the outburst and give the back-row players more room to operate and react.

This caused AP Kennan to struggle to move forward, and he was able to hit a perfect burst without flashing before, even when he had a push stick.

Now that the teamfight doesn't flash, it's almost impossible for you Kenan to hit full damage with his ultimate.

If the east is not bright, the west will be bright.

If AP doesn't work, then play AD.

Ice boxing, hurricanes, rundown, meat and output and can lead the line, and the ability to go heads-up is strong.

The Hurricane's passive can not only be linked with the policewoman's passive headshot, Kennan's W can actually be linked with the hurricane, as long as there are creeps, Kenan can frequently trigger W's passive extra damage!

Of course......

There is another reason that really made AD Kenan return to the upper lane, that is, almost all of the previous strong split-push types on the road have been cut around, Qinggang Shadow and Jace have been stabbed one after another, and Jian Ji has been restricted by numerical problems and has been very limited to playing.

Although the half-fleshed little fishman has become popular, the positioning is actually a-stirring stick, just like the previous Ike, and the single-belt ability and tower pushing ability are not as good as Kennan!

In addition, Kennan has a range of 550 yards, which is farther than many marksman heroes, and his extreme hand length allows him to play comfortably on the opposite end.

To put it bluntly, even if several big brothers were stabbed, Kennan, who had not been weakened, naturally began to gain a higher appearance rate because of changes in the ecological environment!!

Homme has actually noticed this for a long time, he is actually not afraid of the rise of this kind of single-belt hero, who is the top single?

Lee Han-sung!!

A ruthless man with super personal ability and proficient in single belts!

What is there to worry about?

"Kennan?" Guan Zeyuan seemed to think of something, "At last year's World Championships, in the quarterfinals, Top played three stars, and at that time, noob used a hand of [Touch of Hellfire] to beat Cuvee's Kenan on the line, right?" Finished! Top banned Kenan himself! ”

"It's useless." Wang Laoer's rank is here, and his game understanding is much higher than Guan Zeyuan's, he explained, "AP Kenan is afraid of the prince because there is no additional recovery ability online, and once he is hit by the prince's skill, it will easily lead to a situation of no blood." ”

"The first thing AD Kenan is to do a rundown, with online recovery ability, naturally he will not be afraid of the consumption of your prince, once the equipment is formed, the prince will not be able to beat Kenan alone, and even if it is a team battle, AD Kenan's ultimate move is also used to control the opponent's sudden face hero, and he will not enter the field at all, and he will not be restricted by your prince!"

Explain it this way, Guan Zeyuan can understand it even if his game comprehension is low.

"In this way, isn't this MSI just to see who can find a way to deal with Kenan first, and who can control the initiative of BP??" Guan Zeyuan couldn't help laughing when he thought of this, "Then I think noob can be trusted, he should be able to figure out a way to deal with Kenan!" ”

Don't say it!

Li Hansheng does have a lot of ideas.

To play this kind of long hand top, you have to use magic to fight magic!

Lucian, Jace can be used against AD Kenan, and even Nar can give it a try.

But......

There's another simple and crude way to do it!

"Coach, I want to do an experiment, it just so happens that we have double support, I do have a combination that can sanction Kenan!" Li Hansheng suddenly opened his mouth to communicate with homme in the voice!

"Oh?" Homme was stunned for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask, "What combination??" ”

"Yes......" Lee Han-sung told the combination to homme, who at first frowned as if thinking about the trade-off, but soon had a clear answer!!

It seems to be doable!

If Karma and Lulu are mainly present, such a combination can also play a role!

"Then choose, we can accumulate valuable experience through an ordinary main match, which will be more beneficial to our subsequent knockout rounds!" Homme immediately agreed!

Under everyone's gaze!

Two rare heroes appeared in the top 4 and 5L in an instant!

Kree and ...... Olaf!

"Huh??" Wang Lao Er was stunned for a while, "Olaf is in the jungle, is Kree on the list??" ”

"Top This is a set of ultimate face-rushing lineups, and it focuses on a pre-mid-stage, but it's not so powerful in the late stage." Guan Zeyuan also expressed his own opinions.

TSM obviously didn't think of that either, but there was only one choice they could make at 5L!

That's Zyra.

This is the last hero on the field who can adapt to EZ.

That's it!

The line-ups of both sides were also formalized.

Top on the blue side, TSM on the red side!

On the road: Kree vs Kenan.

Jungler: Olaf VS Blind Monk.

Mid lane: Kalmar vs Sindra.

Bottom Lane: Big Mouth + Lulu VS Zyra + Little Yellow Hair.

After thinking for a while, Wang Lao Er seemed to gradually find a little idea, "Actually, there seems to be no problem with the Top lineup, and there is nothing wrong with the lineup." ”

What a hero like Olaf needs is a soft assistant to give him all kinds of accelerations.

That's why in the S6 World Championships, Olaf basically came out with Kalmar or Lulu in the middle lane, and now there are Lulu and Karma in the Top lineup at the same time, this Olaf can't be upset??

And Krey and Olaf are not afraid of Zyra and Kenan's backhand, in the wild area, the blind monk can't beat Olaf in S6, and he can't beat it in the current wild area!

The reason why Olaf does not have such a high appearance rate this year is mainly due to the deletion of [Power of Time], Olaf does not have hard control, so he can't choose [Power of the Colossus], and Tandu has declined.

And the refresh time of the wild monsters in the wild area is extended, and the jungler Olaf itself can't eat too much economy, and without [Power of Time], and can't bring [Power of the Colossus], the further decline in Tandu will easily become chicken ribs.

"Look! This version of the wild economy is definitely not enough for Olaf to develop, so I guess what kind of solution has the Top found? Wang Lao Er didn't dare to draw conclusions, and put forward the most critical point!

"What do Krye and Olaf have to say?"

"Who knows, when the game officially starts, everyone will know!" Guan Zeyuan looked at it openly.

Coaches from both sides shook hands in the center of the stage after the BP!

The opposing coach looked at the homme with Cheng Zhu in his chest, and he was also confused, is the Top lineup really powerful??

The fans at the scene had already begun to shout in advance, and it was not until the frequent signal sound sounded that the voices of the audience gradually stopped.

The director also switched the camera to the game screen!!

"Let's wait and see if Top can usher in a perfect start at this MSI!"

31.5W/35W。

Rub, the three alarm clocks didn't wake me up, I had to sleep until almost 10 o'clock......

It's too late to eat.,First code a chapter.,The remaining 3.5W,I'll stay up all night today to get it out.,Please rest assured.。
