"This lineup is a little incomprehensible."

The spicy incense pot pushed his thick glasses and looked at the screen in front of him very seriously.

He's played a lot of games, but he really hasn't experienced much to sit in the audience and watch the players play in the arena like this.

Even though LPLpark can accommodate a relatively small number of spectators, he is still immersed in the atmosphere.

He is now Liu Shiyu, an ordinary League of Legends event spectator.

It's not the jungler of the EDG team in the LPL region, Mala Xiangguo.

"It's normal not to understand!"

"It's strange to understand."

Jiang Zhun smiled, and at the same time was surprised that DFM dared to take out these strange things when playing Samsung:

[Top Single Green Steel Shadow, Jungler Troll, Mid Single Big Head, ADC Small Cannon, Auxiliary Hammerstone]

And Samsung's lineup is:

[Top Single Shen, Jungler Barrel, Middle Single Knife Girl, ADC Kaisha, Support Titan]

A slight comparison of the lineups of the two sides, it is easy to see that Samsung's lineup is balanced and comprehensive.

There is no shortage of control, regiments, tanks.

And the physical output and magic output are quite balanced.

The power curves of the five heroes are not in the same time period, which can effectively avoid the embarrassing situation that the lineup lacks strength at a certain stage and leads to the inability to take over the group.

"It seems like this hero hasn't been out of a game for a long time, right?"

The factory director also touched the little fly at the corner of his mouth, constantly recalling the game.

"Yes."

"This hero is caught and killed, and I haven't seen anyone take him in the LPL in the past two years."

Jiang Zhun confirmed the words of the factory director after going through his brain.

"Small cannon with hammerstone."

"It's a bit old, too."

"Sure enough, the LJL division just doesn't play the same way as us."

After seeing the lineup selected, the players basically knew in their hearts that the Samsung team was nine out of ten for this game.

None of them said it, though.

Instead, they all stopped talking and began to enjoy the top dishes that were about to be displayed on the big screen in front of them!

……

The game time is 1 minute and 35 seconds, and before the DFM side of the army line reaches the line, the four of them invade the three-star jungle together.

The big head used the turret to block the Titan's Q skill very spiritually, which made the audience let out a burst of exclamations.

Many people's minds have changed their perception of DFM's mid-laner Ceros.

This guy may be a master.

But soon, reality gave everyone a hard slap in the face.

After the DFM on the red side successfully invaded the three-star jungle, the big head put two small turrets at the red buff to help his troll hit the red buff and go online.

As soon as he walked out of the grass in the river, the Crown's Knife Girl had already eaten the first three melee soldiers and was passively stacked.

For those who have strong ability to play on the line, the crown may seem mediocre, but when it comes to LJL's rookie, he is not used to it at all.

Without any hesitation, the knife girl directly rode the face with the Q skill.

Ceros players obviously didn't realize that the opponent would come to the front as soon as he reached the line, and immediately desperately pressed the Q skill to release the turret.

But

He released only one battery.

Because the rest of the turret charges were all used by him to open up the field for his own troll gang!

There was a mess of A, and the big head was directly knocked out and flashed, and he had to return to the city under the defense tower.

Looking at this scene on the field, the audience couldn't help but stretch their mouths.

Boy!

I originally thought that you chose the big head because there was some unique ingredient in it, but it turned out to be a unique job (you will never be able to live online)!

……

A blood comes quickly.

During the game time 3 minutes 32 seconds.

The crown sword girl used the E skill to pull the big head of the defense tower, and directly completed a wave of 1 for 1 towers.

Because his sword sister sent a large wave of troops into the defense tower, plus he got the first drop of blood, this wave of exchange crowns was obviously earned.

On the other side,

There is also news in favor of Samsung in the wild area.

The barrel has taken control of the Twin River Crabs!

"LJL's jungler obviously understands that there is a problem, he should control the river crabs on his side first, and then go to eat his own wild area, so that even if the barrel can oppose his group of wild monsters, but relying on the advantage obtained by invading the wild area in the early stage, he still earns it."

After experiencing the audience for five minutes, the spicy fragrant pot returned to the perspective of professional players and began to comment continuously.

The pace of the game was fast.

At 17 minutes and 50 seconds into the game, the head-to-head ratio between the two sides came to 11 to 2.

And the LJL players also seem to realize that something is wrong, and they are no longer as reckless as they started and become steady.

However, they realized it too late.

The Samsung team began to show the operational skills of the old powerhouses in the LCK region.

In just five minutes, under the premise that there was no head on both sides, the economic advantage of 2,200 was opened.

And the director also thought that the game was going on in garbage time, and began to work hard.

He first replayed the expressions of the coaches in the lounge on both sides when Samsung played a 2-for-5 record in the last wave of team battles.

Later, in the lower left corner of the screen, a small shot was given to the EDG players.

After the audience who watched the World Championship in the official live broadcast room of the domestic LPL saw familiar faces, they couldn't help but post a barrage:

[May I ask Nexus players, do you support Samsung or DFM]

[Hahahaha, I didn't expect EDG to come to see the game today, it's still a dog-eat-dog game, it's really laughing to death]

[Hai Chengmin, why do you still have the face to greet the camera? ] Hurry back to training and train Zoe out. 】

[The spicy pot is too, it's almost a season, and you can't even understand the rock sparrow? ] 】

[Why didn't I see anyone with RNG?] There are DFMs on the field, shouldn't they come to cheer on as a family group? 】

[Come on! Strive to win all the group stage qualification]

[I was able to take the time to watch the game, it seems that the new version adapts well, EDG can! ] 】

……

"Let's congratulate the Samsung team, who defeated the DFM team 3-0 and successfully advanced to the group stage."

Time flies.

Coupled with the intermission, the BO5 match between Samsung and DFM lasted for two and a half hours.

If the intermission time is 20 minutes and the BP time is 5 minutes per game, the average duration of each game is about 25 minutes.

"It's kind of boring."

"I was really expecting an upset, but it didn't seem realistic."

The spicy incense pot watched the Samsung crowd cheering on the stage, and the whole person was a little unhappy.

And the director said:

"Don't expect any upsets."

"Hard power is hard power, if it is not much stronger than the other side, there is no such thing as an upset."

"Hey." Spicy Xiangguo shook his head, "Actually, I feel that G2's strength is a little stronger than Samsung, but the pressure from the LCK region in the past few years was too great, so that now when I see the teams in the LCK region, I think they are very strong." ”

What the spicy pot says is the truth.

Koreanophobia is not something that can be completely cured by EDG winning a championship last year.

Only the LPL region, like the LCK division, can dominate League of Legends for three or four years, and those who have experienced darkness can completely dispel the fear in their hearts.

And now, the LPL region has only fully overwhelmed the LCK region, which has been played for a year.

It is obviously impossible to cure Koreanophobia.

Meikou and others, who won the championship last year, are still better, and players like Mala Xiangguo, who were killed by SKT when they met in the royal family, feel that the strength of the team in the LCK region is indeed understandable.

"The LCK is really strong."

"And it's very strong."

Jiang Zhun also nodded and said: "It's just that today's version is no longer suitable for those teams who still rely on operations to accumulate advantages in the early stage like previous seasons." ”

"Today's version is more about small team battles in the early stage, and resource groups in the middle stage, which need to collide."

"It is precisely in this way that the LPL, which has always been famous for wild fights, and the European and American divisions, where the whole game is basically a brawl, can play well in the recent events."

"The teams that play operations in the LCK region, like SKT, can't even touch the threshold of the playoffs."

"Of course, Samsung relied on the players' condition to get into the playoffs."

A few people chatted with each other.

Originally, they wanted to watch the game, wait for the draw results of the group stage, go out for a meal together, and take a fist bus to Gwangju, where the group stage was held, in the evening.

But unexpectedly, the post-match interview was ignored.

So much so that I waited another half an hour for the G2 game to start.

"There's something wrong with this G2."

"I don't think the No. 1 seed in North America is as strong as G2."

The factory director is more acute.

After watching G2 win two quick games in a row, he couldn't help but frown and think deeply.

As a coach,

He understands the game more clearly and concretely than the players.

The factory director found that G2's understanding of the version is obviously much stronger than the previous Samsung team, and it is more correct!

"Samsung is still thinking about relying on Ruler to take over the game in the middle and late stages, but G2 has already started to play the game of full bloom of the third line."

"In terms of lineup selection, whether it is Ueno, Nakanosuke, or Shimonosuke, the heroes they choose are all small lineups that are more powerful in the early stage of the fight."

"Moreover, there is no lack of control among the heroes of these branches, which can ensure that once a small collision occurs in the early stage, G2 can take advantage of the hero's advantage and directly kill one person in seconds!"

The factory director kept chattering, and the EDG team members were watching the game for too long, and most of them lowered their heads and started to play with their mobile phones.

In contrast, the audience from Europe, on the other side, was more enthusiastic.

They kept waving their supplies and shouted English cheers out of their mouths.

“G2、G2”

“Fighting！”

……

"It's finally over!"

Another two and a half hours!

Before you know it, it's seven o'clock in the evening.

Both BO5 matches ended with a 3-0 score.

The sister kneaded her somewhat sore back, and couldn't help but complain: "No wonder Fist arranges two BO5 games a day, it turns out that these two games will end 3-0." ”

"Anyway, if there is an accident and you play two consecutive games of 3-2, you can't wait until tomorrow?"

"Hey." Hai Chengmin also sighed.

His mobile phone automatically turned off because of the lack of power, and coincidentally, none of the EDG team members brought power banks.

He could only sit in his seat and watch the game.

"Let's end the interview quickly!"

"I want to see the lottery!"

"After drawing lots, I can train with peace of mind, otherwise even if I get to the hotel tonight, I won't be in the mood to play RANK."

Hae Sung-min has always belonged to a more calm and honest type, just like his style when he played games.

"Let's get started, don't rush!"

Jiang Zhun patted Hae Sung-min on the shoulder.

"Uh-huh."

After Hai Chengmin saw that it was Jiang Zhun, he kept nodding like a kitten who had always been well-behaved.

Then he waited quietly for the host to end the interview.

……

On the other hand, the popularity of LPL's official live broadcast room is also soaring.

Many viewers did not have an LPL team to play today, but came to watch the live broadcast, in large part because of the draw ceremony for the group stage after the play-in round.

This year's group stage draw ceremony is still the same as the rules of previous years, and there is a circumvention principle in the same division.

Therefore, neither Samsung nor G2, who have advanced from the play-in round to the group stage, need to worry about facing opponents in their own regions in the next round.

[Let me dream, Group A Lightning Wolf, Group B RNG, Group C EDG, Group D IG join hands in the semifinals, the final Chinese civil war]

【G2 (Chicken Rabbit) TL (Same Cage)】

[Samsung: We want to fight RNG the most, Ruler: Either shut up, or roll out to lay the way!] 】

[Other LCK teams said to SKT: Without Brother Li, I still treat you SKT as a human being? The LPL team said to the LCK team: Without SKT, I still treat you South Korea as a human being? 】

[If the RNG semi-finals, I will write thirty test papers plus two tutorials]

[This year is the least promising year for LPL for two reasons: (1) LPL has repeatedly defeated LCK in the competition this year (2) This year's S competition was held in South Korea]

[Please, give some strength to the lottery, I want to see our LPL team fighting in Incheon!] 】

Under the continuous rolling of the barrage, the lottery ceremony finally began.

Since the tournament was held in the Great Cold Netherworld, the raffle guests invited by Riot were naturally players from the LCK region.

And the group stage came to draw lots, it was SKT's support, Wolf, who has two world champions, but did not qualify for the world championship this year!

When he appeared in front of everyone, the cheers from the scene continued!

Obviously, Wolf is also a very popular player in the LCK.

In this year's group stage draw ceremony, Riot did not engage in too many bells and whistles, and continued the draw pattern of last year's S7 World Championship.

WOlf is selected in a pool similar to a lottery machine, one after the other.

The EDG crowd who were watching the game couldn't help but get nervous when they watched Wolf's chubby hand reach into the pool.

The factory director picked up his mobile phone and opened the memo to record.

After nearly 7 minutes of drawing, he recorded:

Group A: Defending champions EDG, Wolverine, Team Africa, Miscellaneous Fish

Group B: Hapless Ruler, Xinke, Defeated RNG, Cannon Fodder

Group C: lcK Champion KT, American Champion TL, Miscellaneous Fish

Group D: European Champion FNC, Trembling 100T, Esports 16 Warriors IG
