The clock was fast approaching May 6th.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, after a brief lunch, the players and coaching staff all got on the team bus with suitcases and rushed to the airport.

On the plane, the rest of IG didn't go abroad at one time, and they looked very calm sitting in the chairs, but Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong were extremely excited.

Riot is only responsible for the money of the hilarious economic warehouse, and the IG team is not bad for money, Su Xiaoluo decisively paid out of his own pocket to promote everyone to the first-class warehouse.

It's very comfortable to sit and eat.

Looking at the large white clouds outside the window, Lin Weixiang asked, "Tear Shao, have you ever been abroad before?" ”

"Nope!"

Liu Qingsong rolled his eyes, a little impatient with his partner's idiotic question, "The two of us got together to play the Internet café league at the age of 15, where do I have time to go abroad!" ”

Lin Weixiang is still immersed in the novelty of going abroad, and it is rare to quarrel with Liu Qingsong, "I heard that the beauties in Brazilian nightclubs are not open!" ”

"Hehe," Tear Shao sneered, "I heard that the gangsters over there are more open, do you want to try it too." ”

"Little sister, can the plane brake in the air? I kind of want to throw up. ”

When the flight attendant saw the big eyebrows, she also knew that the other party was a not very smart child, so she didn't care too much, and she didn't care too much.

After all, she is a first-class guest, and if she is complained, her salary will be deducted.

After more than an hour, the novelty of these two goods finally passed, and Li Qin was finally able to calm down a little.

The flight from Shanghai to Brazil, plus the time of the stopover, takes a full 27 hours, and there is no internet, so you can only rely on pre-downloaded movies to pass the time.

Chu Ge and Tabe got together, turned on their tablets, and began to continue looking at what they considered their most threatening opponent this time.

G2 and SKT!

"Although there are changes on SKT, they are still playing S6."

After watching the first game of the LCK finals several times, Tabe thoughtfully said, "After Kakao entered SKT, his style has changed a lot, and the carnivorous jungler in the past seems to have opened the mirror bag left by the stupid chicken. ”

"The thief will be safe! The rhythm is basically Faker and Wolf, and I think it's even a little scarier than last year's SKT. ”

"Not necessarily."

Chu Ge smiled, "Duke is indeed very stable, but his condition is obviously not as good as last year, and the other Huni, I feel that he should be better than 957." ”

Although he has not officially faced each other in the ring, the two have met during training matches, and by studying the footage, he really knows that Huni is not that strong.

It's still a strange gesture that has raised his value, which has led to clubs in all regions now feeling that Huni is a strong one.

Seeing this, Tabe reminded, "Don't underestimate the enemy, SKT's operational ability is still terrifying, and the resilience is really strong." ”

That's true.

Chu Ge and they almost overturned in the finals last year, and this team may often suffer in the early and middle stages, but once it reaches the middle and late stages.

That is, steady as an old dog, it is difficult to find his flaws.

And this season's SKT gives the audience an illusion that even if they fall too far behind in the early and middle periods, they can complete the turnaround.

Especially after they got the Galio system, even more so, most of the mid-laners in the LCK have phobia, and wanting to restrict him is comparable to killing Chu Ge online.

And

Tabe and Chu Ge only watched a game in the spring showdown, in fact, from the beginning of the regular season, KT can get a huge advantage in almost every step when they play against SKT.

This means that SKT's early rhythm ability is not top-notch.

However, after the end of the matching period, SKT has always been able to continuously exchange resources with a variety of just right support and rhythm, and the economy has been leveled little by little.

Finally, use excellent teamwork and AD's stable team battle output ability to achieve a turnaround.

It's still their favorite style of play last year, defending and counter-attacking!

"We probably won't have too much trouble with our early offense," Tabe worried, "but you know that the more you strike, the more flaws you'll expose." ”

"SKT: What they do best is catch opponents making mistakes."

"I'm not worried about you guys going to Nakano, the two goods on the lower road still lack a little competition experience, and they may become a breakthrough for the other party."

"On the other hand, we should also pay attention to the G2 team, and we don't need to look at them with the thinking of G2-8."

Tabe thought for a moment and continued to analyze, "Inevitably, they will pull out something new and catch us off guard. ”

"Okay."

Chu Ge nodded, and didn't say anything else.

Compared with last year's IG lineup, at least the middle and lower double Cs are old people, and Wuxin has experience in MSI, so it is easy to adjust his mentality.

Even if Baolan is a newcomer, there are people who can bring him up and grow quickly.

You can go down the road at home.

Liu Qingsong is not too worried, his role as the commander of the team itself needs to stabilize his emotions, which he has already overcome.

Only Lin Weixiang.

This kid doesn't have the strength to win the championship in FPX at the beginning, and it's always some whimsy that leads to his violent death, if it weren't for his LWX ID, Chu Ge really thought that Jack was on him.

The teams that can come to MSI are the champions of each region, and they came in after a tragic elimination and competition.

can be a leader in the wind and rain in his own competition area, how can he not have two brushes.

And although the European and American divisions were ridiculed by the LPL for European and American coins, I have to admit that this group of people is very artistic Technotic, especially the LCS division, which can always do something unexpected.

In the early morning of May 7, 27 hours after the plane had been on the plane, they finally saw land.

Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang changed their previous excitement, and they wanted to commit Yue when they looked at the bus sent by Fist.

I still have to take a car!

It had been more than an hour after arriving at the hotel, and the first thing Chu Ge did when he entered the room was to rush into the bathroom to take a good shower.

Then lie down on the soft bed and get a good night's sleep.

King Ning didn't come, Xiao Peanut lived in a room with Chu Ge, and after the two of them finished, they collapsed on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

As for jet lag.

That's later, the dog's life matters.

Following.

Chu Ge and his entourage slept until noon, then got up one after another, and after briefly tasting the local food in the hotel, they got on the fist bus again and went to the competition venue.

At present, the play-in tournament is playing, and Chu Ge naturally did not run over to watch the game, but to play the training match.

There is no way, this time the Brazilian MSI, Riot did not set up a temporary training room in the hotel, only in the lounge of each team can train.

But the good thing

Chu Ge and the others are all people who have gone through the Banana Project, and they even played training matches in Wanyu Internet Cafe to prepare for the summer finals.

I didn't react much to that.

From the beginning of the spring duel to the present, they have not played a training match for almost ten days, and even Chu Ge has very little time to play in Rank.

He was anxious about various activities and shooting, but every time he participated in the event, the money was in his account, and Chu Ge was miserable and happy.

From a professional point of view, though, this is not a good thing.

With only four days to go until the start of the group stage, they have to hurry up and start training or they won't be able to keep up with the version.

After registering, Su Xiaoluo began to communicate around, and soon helped them make an appointment for the training match.

Actually, you don't have to look for it.

IG is the favorite to win the championship this time, and other teams will take the initiative to find it, even SKT, who was extremely arrogant last year, also ran over to make an appointment with IG for a training match.

Su Xiaoluo rejected them twice.

But these guys are really thick-skinned, as if S6's rejection of IG training matches last year didn't happen.

Still.

They still played a training match against SKT.

After all, everyone is the favorite to win the championship, so it is also appropriate to get to know each other first.

A few days flew by.

The life of Chu Ge and his party maintained two points and one line, the hotel and the competition venue, and even the substitute Ning Wang brought this time had to follow.

As for why bring King Ning?

After KWG was separated, the two teams made personnel adjustments, and Ning Wang played in the regular season in the spring, and none of the other personnel played.

So much so that King Ning was brought over first, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to meet the requirements for 6 people to sign up.

As for how the summer games will be redistributed, it is estimated that it depends on whether Su Xiaoluo's brain is sick.

What if Chu Ge is adjusted to KWG?

Thankfully, everyone's adaptability is very good, even the two newcomers have adjusted their schedules and training well, and no one has been unadaptable.

After four consecutive days of high-intensity training matches, IG and others finally found the rhythm of the game, and Ning Wang also began to officially rotate with Little Peanut.

Stop.

Champion Ueno's reunion made Tabe feel that IG seemed to be getting stronger.

No way.

IG's current lineup is counted, there are four core positions, Xiao Peanut is also a big eater of resources, and Liu Qingsong has to take care of four good children alone.

And King Ning is different.

Although he confirmed his own playing style last year, he actually doesn't eat resources too much, but likes to go to the other party's house to eat wild monsters.

And

During his time in KWG, because Theshy and Chu Ge played similarly, he practiced a lot in LSPL.

The result of the training match was less loss and more win, but everyone didn't take it seriously.

The main thing is to get back the feeling on the field, and the other is the exchange of Little Peanut and Ning Wang, and the team style will also change.

Liu Qingsong still has to get used to it.

SKT's training matches are also average, the two sides have played more than a dozen games, and they can feel that the other party is hiding their strength, and they can't achieve the effect they want in the real training match.

Tabe and Kkoma are probably also scolding each other's old silver coins.

And the king of this year's MSI training tournament is not the former North American cult TSM, but has become a flash wolf in the LMS division.

During this time, they were stunned by their undefeated record and became the well-deserved king of training matches, and even they began to fantasize about the moment when they stood on the podium.

However.

Their unsparing and unreserved style of play has also made everyone figure out his routines, and it is estimated that the name of the anti-Korean Qixia will not be able to be kept by MSI this year.

May 10th.

FW, TSM and GAM from Vietnam successfully advanced to MSI, and the six teams participating in the group stage were officially completed.

May 11th.

The MSI group stage has officially begun.

At the request of the organizers, Chu Ge arrived at the competition venue 3 hours ahead of schedule.

Compared with last year's MSI in Shanghai, this year's MSI opening ceremony was a bit bad, and it seemed that it was a bit of a plan to complete the task.

Still.

The answer to high emotional intelligence is that it is full of local characteristics.

After the opening, the five teams took the stage in turn in the introduction of the host.

SKT, the last MSI champion, stood in the center of the stage, and Faker stood at the front, holding the MSI trophy and waving his arms.

It's like the protagonist.

And IG Although last year's S championship, the gold content of the two is different, even if you win 3 MSI championships, there is always Krdog spraying you as a champion.

Chu Ge raised the corners of his mouth and said secretly in his heart.

Faker, this will be the last highlight of your career! After this MSI, you will also retire from the altar.

After the opening ceremony, Chu Ge and the others returned to the backstage lounge under the arrangement of the staff.

The first game.

It was SKT vs. G2.

The IG game is scheduled for the second game, and the opponent is this training match counting on the flash wolf.

Background.

Everyone sat around and drank Brazilian white coke and watched the first game together.

The Bans on both sides were very regular in this game, and the strong points of Kenan, Shin and Meat Fishman, Jace and Lulu were not released.

There were no surprises in this game, there were really no surprises.

SKT was full of rhythm throughout the whole process, and even if they were not good at it in the early stage, they pressed G2 to the ground and rubbed it, highlighting the difference in strength between the two sides.

Although the game was still over in 40 minutes, SKT's suffocating style of play still made many domestic viewers worry about it.

[This version is really not suitable for IG to play, and the impact on the proportion of the game on the road has dropped wildly]

[It can be seen that the fist is enhancing the priority of the lower lane, and the jungler blind monk is on fire again in this version]

[IG has been fierce for a spring, can't you kill SKT now that it's almost summer?] 】

[I still believe in our Dow director, he is the key to victory]

As the first game ended, Tabe clapped his hands and said, "Bring your peripherals, it's time for us to make an appearance at the Worlds!" ”

Hearing this, Chu Ge and his party got up one after another and picked up their peripherals.

And this time. The starting jungler is King Ning.

On the commentary seat.

When Guan Zeyuan received IG's roster of players, his eyes widened suddenly, "We received news that King Ning will represent IG as a jungler on MSI!" ”

These words suddenly made the audience not calm.

Especially the audience who just saw the IG five-person event some time ago, and their hearts began to stir at this time.

"Our once favorite Ueno combination is about to take the stage again," Su Xiaoyan said with a smile, "I guess the other teams are confused, how to study IG for a season." ”

"When it was time to fight, the jungler became a different person, and it was last year's world champion jungler!"
