"Fight RNG in the opener?"

"Haha, Ness!"

"It seems that Riot officials also know that I have been waiting for this day for more than half a year, so they want to give me a chance to slaughter RNG immediately!"

When he learned about the official schedule of the MSI group stage, Mingrui's face suddenly showed an ecstatic smile.

And not only Mingrui, but all the members of the G2 team have been waiting for this day for a long time!

"Are you finally going to face RNG again?"

"I lost to RNG in the S7 quarterfinals last year, and I lost to Xiaohu for a long time, so this year's MSI, I must complete my revenge and prove to the world the true strength of my Caps!"

Caps grinned and said that as one of Europe's most talented midlaners, he received a lot of criticism on the European side after Team FNC was eliminated by Team RNG in the semi-finals last year.

At that time, there were many European fans who thought that he Caps was the Uzi of Europe, and he couldn't prove his true strength except that he only knew how to blow!

Even if he won the EU Spring Championship with Team G2, it is believed that he got this championship by holding Dark's thigh.

Therefore, the goal of this year's MSI and Caps is very simple, that is, to blow up all MSI midlaners and prove their strength to the world!

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Because after the transition to adc, I haven't met many decent opponents except for Rekkles!"

"This time, I finally have the opportunity to compete with Uzi, the world's No. 1 adc, and to be honest, I can't wait!"

"Let's just say, if I win against Uzi, will I be the new world No. 1 adc?"

Perkz also said happily with anticipation, but he knew in his heart that the title of "the world's No. 1 adc" was not so easy to take from Uzi, after all, although Uzi did not have a world champion, he had two solo championships!

In addition to Caps and Perkz, Wunder and Hylissang are also mentally prepared for the upcoming MSI.

Because in the case of the G2 team, the Shimono trio are obviously stronger than last year, if the G2 team fails to defend the MSI championship, it can only mean that the strength of the two of them is worse than that of their predecessors.

And Wunder and Hylissang naturally don't want to be spurned by all of Europe!

Therefore, this MSI, even if they fight hard, the two of them will play 200% of their state!

In any case, the dynasty of the G2 team cannot be broken on its own!

So, with the hearts of all G2 members full of belief in victory, May 10 slowly arrived.

Although the 10th was not a match day, all the players on the six MSI teams were very busy, as it was the only rest day between the end of the play-in round and the start of the group stage, so all teams had to cooperate with Riot to complete all the video shoots in one day.

In the process of video shooting, Mingrui naturally had the opportunity to meet the five members of the S7RNG team many times, as well as the newly joined jungler Karsa.

However, during the whole filming process, there was no conflict between the two sides.

Because RNG, the guys who shouted slogans and shouted loudly on the Internet, after seeing Mingrui again, they were all like mice seeing cats.

Not to mention continuing to make him and the G2 team wait to death in front of Mingrui, they didn't even dare to do such a simple action as "looking at each other"!

"Hehe, the LPL team is really as fierce as a tiger in the civil war and as cowardly as a dog in the external war."

Mingrui sneered, and then quickly cooperated with the official to complete the video shooting.

Because the time of this MSI is relatively tight, the play-in tournament will be played on the 9th, the video will be shot on the 10th, and the group stage on the 11th will start at 11 am local time in Berlin and 5 pm China time.

So the night after the video was filmed, Riot officials immediately completed the trailer for the first day of the 2018 MSI group stage and released it immediately.

After LPL officially quickly added Chinese subtitles to this trailer, at eight o'clock in the morning on May 11, China time, all LPL viewers directly saw the full content of this trailer!

As always, the video opens with iconic sights and architecture from Berlin, Germany.

Then, as the video flashed, Dark, the well-deserved representative of the G2 team, appeared in the camera!

"The Grand Slam may be a dream that cannot be realized in a lifetime for all League of Legends professional teams, after all, some people, some teams are very difficult to win even a world championship."

"But in the past 2017, it only took us one year for the G2 team to achieve a goal that others would never have achieved in their lifetimes."

"But the Grand Slam is really just the beginning for the G2 team!"

"As I said last year, the era of SKT and LCK is over, and now it's time for our G2 team and EU!"

"So the new dynasty will be officially established starting with the championship of the 2018 MSI!"

In the camera, Dark holds his head high and is ambitious.

In his eyes, he was full of domineering spirit in the sky and on the ground!

Compared with Dark's domineering, the representatives of the next few teams who appeared on the stage were much weaker in terms of momentum.

First of all, the representative who transferred to the TL team, the big brother of the bottom laner, Doublelift.

"I think my next task is to sweep away the slump of the last few years and show my quality on the international stage."

"I know that the North American team is not doing well at the World Finals, and that my results at the World Finals are not ideal, but this MSI, I want to break this situation and completely shatter this shame!"

Then there is the new face of this year's MSI, the representative of the EVS team from the Vietnam region, the mid-laner Warzone.

"I want the EVS team to win all the group stage victories, and I want to play the other central positions!"

The second is the veteran FW team from the PCS region, and the outbound representative is the support player Swordart.

"Although the LMS division has been disbanded, our Lightning Wolves team is still there, and everyone in the team has improved compared to last year."

"So this time, MSI wants everyone to see a more stable and powerful Lightning Wolf team!"

Immediately after, there is the team that all LPL viewers want to see the most, RNG!

But the representative figure is not Uzi, because he has never been to MSI, so he sent Spicy Xiangguo as a representative.

"The last time I came to MSI was in 2016, and it's been two years now."

"So this time we have two goals, one is to make up for the regrets of the year, and the other is to represent the LPL division and regain this MSI championship trophy after three years!"

Last but not least was Team KZ from the LCK region, represented by support player Gorilla.

"I've been playing with Pray for a long time, but we've never won any international titles."

"We reached the final in Germany during the World Finals, and this MSI is also in Germany, so this time we want to get a good result and win the MSI championship!"

Because the group stage promo is not a trash talk, each team only has a few seconds to speak.

And when all the representatives of the six teams finished speaking, as the six took turns to make the winning gesture, a golden MSI championship trophy was frozen at the end of the video.

It also indicates that the 2018 MSI group stage is about to officially start!

However, before the official start of the group stage, League of Legends summoners around the world have been very enthusiastic about this trailer.

Because of Dark's speech, it's crazy!

Although this time, he didn't name a certain region, a certain team, or a certain player.

But the majority of netizens can't help but take their seats!

LPL fans naturally think that Dark's remarks are mocking RNG teams, especially Uzi players, after all, it did take him six years to win a championship, and it was only a league championship.

LCK fans believe that Dark's remarks are a mockery of the SKT team and a mockery of the Faker players!

Because although the SKT team won the MSI championship and the S6 world championship in the S6 season, the SKT team did not achieve consistency in the LCK league that year, so compared to the "Grand Slam" of the G2 team, the "Grand Slam" of the SKT team is actually a fake Grand Slam, because it was not completed in one year!

So, with just a short speech, Dark managed to anger both regions at the same time, and also managed to enjoy the thrill of "Double Darkness Experience" in an instant.

And for those fans of Dark players and G2 teams, this cruel remark released by Dark is really cool!

"Domineering! It's crazy to have the strength! ”

"The goal I easily accomplished may be a dream that you will never achieve in your life!"

"Not convinced? Disobey Lao Tzu and hold it back! ”

"The G2 dynasty is about to be established, whether it is LPL or LCK, give us G2 to die!"

G2 fans have made no secret of their support and anticipation for the G2 team.

Although on the Chinese Internet, they were scolded as "G miscellaneous" by the majority of LPL fans and LCK fans, and were scolded as "Dake filial son", but in their opinion, this is just the incompetent anger of pigs, dogs, Korean miscellaneous, etc.

No matter how much they disobey the G2 team, the establishment of the G2 dynasty is already unstoppable!

So, in the midst of the great anticipation of League of Legends summoners around the world, the first day of the group stage of the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational has finally arrived!

……

May 11, 2018, 11 a.m. Berlin time, 5 p.m. Imperial Capital Time.

Because all six teams in the MSI group stage will appear on the first day, after a short but wonderful opening ceremony, the official did not arrange all the six teams to appear on the stage, but adopted the mode of who competes and who appears.

As a result, in the excited shouts of the hosts, the opening match of this year's MSI group stage was accompanied by the applause and shouts of the audience!

First up are the G2 teams playing at home!

Top laner Wunder, jungler Dark, mid laner Caps, bottom lane Perkz, support Hylissang!

Next up is the LPL regional champion RNG team.

Top laner Letme, jungler Mlxg, mid laner Xiaohu, bottom laner Uzi, support Ming.

"Let's welcome the G2 and RNG teams once again, and now, I announce that the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Champions Invitational Group Stage has officially begun!"

The next moment, as the host's enthusiastic voice sounded, the audience fell into a collective boiling again, and immediately showed the world audience a home advantage.

“G2！ Let's go G2！ ”

“G2！ Let's go G2！ ”

“G2！ Let's go G2！ ”

In the European LCS studio, the audience cheered for the G2 team very loudly.

But obviously, the directors in the LPL official live broadcast room couldn't hear this at all, so they immediately switched the live broadcast signal back to the LPL official studio.

The next moment, the three commentators in the first half of the first day of the MSI group stage also immediately appeared on the screens of all LPL audiences.

"Good!"

"Welcome to all summoners in person and on screen to watch our 2018 MSI Mid-Season Invitational Group Stage!"

"Hello everyone, I'm today's commentary doll!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Longhair!"

Because it is the opening match of MSI, and it is also the opening game of the RNG team, the LPL official directly arranged these three heavyweight commentators, which is enough to see how much the LPL official expects and attaches importance to this year's RNG team!

"The upcoming opening match is the RNG team in our LPL region against the G2 team in the EU region."

"I believe that this game is very concerned and expected by the global audience, because the two teams are not only the world's top teams, but also in last year's S7 World Championship, it can be regarded as a bond."

The doll naturally cut to the point, gritting her teeth as she spoke.

Because in the S7 semi-finals last year, the RNG team was eliminated 0-3 by the G2 team, which is a huge shame for the entire LPL region!

And this year's RNG team vows to take revenge on G2!

"The contradiction between the two teams is still relatively deep, so I believe that the gunpowder smell of this opening game will be very strong, but in my opinion, the winning rate of our RNG team is not low, and it can even be said that there is a high probability of winning this opening game."

Immediately afterwards, Miller let out a bold statement, as for why he is so confident? The reason is very simple, that is, although the lineup of the G2 team has been greatly strengthened this year, in terms of the degree of run-in of the lineup, it is still not high enough.

"Many viewers who have been following the EU competition since this spring know that although the G2 team won the EU championship again, the G2 team has been very difficult all the way throughout the spring, and the run-in speed is very slow."

"Although the G2 team finally won the spring championship and it seems that the run-in has been completed, in my opinion, it is just because the other teams in the EU region are not strong enough to put enough pressure on the G2 team."

"When facing the RNG team that we have been running in for a whole year and a half, I think the G2 team will still have big problems in terms of coordination."

"Especially the top laner Wunder and support Hylissang of the G2 team, both of them have no major tournament experience, so they will definitely be the breakthrough of the G2 team!"

"As we all know, the barrel effect, even if the strength of the G2 team's three people in the lower middle field is stronger, once the G2 team has shortcomings, then the G2 team is unlikely to go far in this MSI."

Miller swore that he had carefully analyzed the weaknesses of the G2 team, and although the game had not yet started, it was already determined that the RNG team could easily win the opening match of this year's MSI!

As the commentator of G Miscellaneous, Long Hair, he was naturally very unhappy to hear Miller's analysis.

"I think it's going to be difficult for the RNG team to win against the G2 team."

"Although the run-in degree of the G2 team's lineup is really not high enough, the individual strength of the G2 team players is strong enough."

"In particular, the Nakano combination of Dark and Caps is actually better than last year's Dark and Perkz's Nakano combination!"

"Last year's DP combination has already let the world see their terrifying intensity, so this year's DC combination will definitely make all the other teams even more desperate!"

"If you go on the road, I think it's five or five open, and the only thing you need to worry about is going down the road, after all, Ah P only changed to the ad position this year, and this is the first time to fight Uzi as an adc, I don't know if I can resist Uzi's pressure on the line segment."

"As for the team battle, I'm not too worried about Ah P, after all, in the EU competition, Ah P has successfully proven his position and output ability in team battles!"

Although he did not explicitly indicate the win rate of the G2 team, according to his analysis, the audience could clearly hear that he felt that the G2 team had a higher win rate, even a high rate!

"There's nothing wrong with the analysis of both of you."

"However, who wins and loses in the opening game depends on the on-the-spot performance and game status of the players on both sides."

"In terms of form, I think the RNG team will be better, after all, the current Uzi players have already breathed a sigh of relief after winning the first league championship in their careers, and they want to win more championships in a row!"

"So, without further ado, the players of both teams have completed all the preparations before the competition, so now, let's enter the BP of the opening match of this MSI together!"

With the conclusion that the doll seems to be neutral and is really very biased towards the RNG team, the opening match of the G2 team against the RNG team has finally entered the BP stage of the group stage BO1 in the global attention!

In this game, the RNG team on the blue side and the G2 team on the red side!

Leopard Girl! Trolls! Male gun!

As soon as the RNG team came up, the first three bans were all aimed at the hero pool of the jungler Dark, and the cowardice was beyond words!

Especially the leopard girl, who is a ban, directly looked at Dark.

Because the 8.8 version used by the current MSI is not actually the AP jungler version, but the warrior jungler and the meat tank jungler version, the RNG team bans the leopard girl jungler, completely afraid of the pressure of their "champion skin"!

Although the champion skin will not be officially available until July, it is clear that the RNG team no longer has the guts to face Dark's leopard girl!

Kaisha! EZ！ Olaf!

The first three bans of the G2 team targeted the hero pool of the two-handed Uzi, as well as the Olaf jungler, one of the answers in the current version.

Then, it was the turn of the RNG team to grab people on the first floor.

And the RNG team obviously wanted to take this opportunity to prove something for a long time, so without the slightest hesitation, they directly locked on Luo, a support hero!

This did take Dark by surprise, but he quickly let out a sneer.

"Hehe, after half a year, the two of you have finally practiced Xialuo, right?"

"But does it work?"

"Garbage, no matter what time it is, can only be garbage!"
