The first matchup in the group stage of this World Championship is a focus battle that attracts the attention of all the audience.

The two championship favorites DK and FPX of this year's S tournament were actually placed in the same group, and the opening match of the group stage was naturally a strong dialogue between these two ace teams.

However, the results of the opening match did not please the audience.

Because it was widely expected before the game that it would be a close matchup, but in the end, DK won the key game with an almost complete crushing attitude.

This also makes the emotional value of the audience in the LPL division slightly low, and there are already voices of decline.

In the second game, although the RNG team finally won the game, it is not difficult to find that RNG's performance in the middle and late game has many flaws, and the overall performance can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

Looking at the first two games, it is difficult for the LPL region to be recognized by the audience for its performance in the World Championship.

As for the upcoming third LPL-related match, in fact, the audience before the game was generally not optimistic that RA could win its first victory in the group stage from GEN.G.

ALTHOUGH RA HAD A VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE IN THE PLAY-IN STAGE, THE OPPONENTS IN THE GROUP STAGE WERE OBVIOUSLY SEVERAL LEVELS HIGHER IN TERMS OF HARD POWER, AND GEN.G, AS THE SECOND SEED IN THE LCK REGION, WAS REGARDED BY THE AUDIENCE AS RA'S TOP RIVAL IN GROUP D.

On the whole, RA has a big gap with GEN.G in terms of strength on paper.

But then again, if RA can get a win in this game, then their overall qualification situation in the group stage is quite optimistic.

After the match between HLE and FNC, the audience in the LPL region finally waited for the RA team to appear.

The game will be reviewed live by Doll, Miller and 957.

In the pre-match preparation session, the three commentators who were responsible for the live commentary of the game also analyzed the opposing situation of the two sides of the game for the audience.

Although the three commentators have been as subtle as possible in their expression, the audience can probably still hear that in their opinion, RA may have a slight advantage in the middle lane, and the alignment of the other lines is not optimistic.

The players on both sides are ready, and the game officially enters the BP stage.

RA ON THE BLUE SIDE CHOSE TO TAKE OUT THE TSAR AND CAT FIRST, WHILE GEN.G ON THE RED SIDE TOOK OUT LUCIAN AND THE ENCHANTRESS.

"The first two hands of both sides are expected, BDD's current hero pool is not as good as in the past, in the summer stage, its most used hero is the Tsar, and the cats of Life players are also very powerful, so RA chose to send it directly to the trigger." Miller Road.

"This Lucian pulled, and RA has one less Carry point, and Iboy's Lucian has a pretty bright performance in the play-in round." The doll originally had a hint of expectation for the Luna combination on the lower road of RA, but I didn't expect GEN.G to press it to death.

ON THE THIRD HAND, RA OPTED TO KNOCK OUT THE BLIND MONK WHO WAS ALMOST INDISPENSABLE IN THE WORLD VERSION, GEN. G took out another jungler hero, the prince.

GEN. G seems to have guessed what heroes RA will pull out in the first hand on the blue side, so he sent the prince who could cooperate with him to the trigger in advance.

Sure enough, RA locks up the female gun for Iboy on the first floor.

After the verification of various teams in the play-in tournament, the female gun obviously has a degree of primacy that is difficult for other AD heroes to achieve in the current version of the ecology.

GEN. G backhanded down the under-the-road combination of Ember and Nutan.

With the opponent's bottom lane duo already confirmed, RA locked the support Luo and Zhao Xin in the jungler position on the second and third floors respectively.

GEN. G pulled out a hand to jungle Fyego on the third floor.

This choice did not come to the minds of the three commentators on the stage.

"To be honest, Foyego was still cut in pain in the Worlds version, and this hero eats his teammates very much now, and he can only enter the field to harvest after his teammates have disabled the opposing hero."

Therefore, once Foyego is unveiled, it is obviously a great test of the output ability of other positions in GEN.G.

The first three selections of the two sides have been confirmed, and it has come to the second round of BP links.

"Sure enough, the main event is still in the back, and the middle and upper levels on both sides have not yet come out." 957 said expectantly.

Before the start of this game, the matchup on the line in the middle has become the focus of attention of the whole game.

In the era of lack of talent in the LCK mid-laner position, BDD was seen as a talented mid-laner who was expected to inherit Faker's dominance in this position. Although BDD's competitive form has declined, its strength should not be underestimated.

And Fang Jie is also a newcomer who rose rapidly in the LPL when the single was not successful, how will he perform against the king of the old era?

The vast majority of viewers in the LPL division, even if they are not optimistic about the overall strength of the RA team, are still very much looking forward to Fang Jie's personal performance.

Therefore, whether it is the commentary on the stage or the audience in front of the screen, they are looking forward to what kind of hero choices the two sides will make in the mid-laner position.

In the second round of wrenching, GEN. G pulled out Silas and the cards, respectively, while RA's side chose to put Kenan and Sword Demon in the trigger.

GEN. G clearly focuses on the middle of the lane when it comes to wrenching, while RA wants to try to prevent problems as much as possible and try not to let Rascal get too strong a hero to tear the wound on the top lane.

In the second round of selection, GEN. G locked a hand for BDD directly on the fourth floor.

RA made the mid-to-upper hero choice of a male gun and clockwork.

Finally, GEN. G locks up the hero Crocodile for Rascal on the fifth floor.

In the case of the crocodile being severely weakened, only a crocodile brother like Rascal dared to take it out in the last counter position.

Of course, due to the pressure from players, the designers also made urgent changes to the animation effect of Crocodile W's skill before the World Championship, speeding up its spell casting animation by 13%, which made Crocodile's Red Wrath less embarrassing.

The final line-up selected by both sides is as follows:

【RA. Cube Outlaw Maniac Graves] vs [GEN. Rascal Desert Butcher Renekton

【RA. Leyan Debang Manager Zhao Xin] vs [GEN. Clid Ruined King Foyego

【RA. JOJO Clockwork Demon Oriana] vs [GEN. BDD Dark Führer Sindra]

【RA. Iboy Bounty Hunter: Miss Doom] vs [GEN. Ruler: Ember

【RA. Hang Phantom Ling Luo] vs [GEN.Life Goddess of Dawn Leona]

Before entering the game, Fang Jie switched the life grid currently on his body to [Two Balls and One Ji] + [Full Map Vision].

This game also became the first appearance of Fang Jie's hero after obtaining the fate [Two Balls and One Ji], the clockwork demon spirit in the two balls.

With the blessing of the double SSR life, Fang Jie has full confidence in his next performance in the game.

Because once the game enters the middle and late stages, the hero of Clockwork has the possibility of changing the direction of the teamfight by himself.

Now it's up to your teammates to see if they can withstand the pressure in the early stages.
