Chapter 239: Head to the MSI Invitational Tournament, the Group Stage Begins!

May 09th.

It's only been a week since the LPL Spring Finals, but at this time, the SI Mid-Season Tournament has been open for some time, and it is even nearing the end.

More precisely......

This should be the almost end of the SI Invitational's play-in round.

For example, the CIS and LS, as well as the Vietnam region, are the only teams to qualify for the group stage.

And there is no suspense about the final outcome of the victory.

Team Evos from Vietnam defeated Team SUP and took the lead in qualifying for the first place.

As for the second team, it is relatively well-known.

F-Senta.

Lightning wolves in the Bay Area.

Although this year's Wolves left RNG, they still managed to enter the group stage 3-0 with their excellent strength.

Compared to the team that has been fighting for a few days.

Clubs in other tournament regions are not so busy, and many players are heading to the city where this year's SI Invitational will be held near the end of the play-in tournament.

Berlin, Germany.

That's the case with Team E.

However, something unexpected happened on the way to the venue.

That night, Xu Yang's Weibo was updated with a special content.

[Brothers, bad messing, I just got off the plane and my wallet was stolen! ] 】

[And I don't have the contact information of the Riot side of the tournament team, I may have to sleep at the airport tonight!] 】

This Weibo has just been refreshed.

The entire comment area was swiped with question marks full of doubts:

"No, what about the people in your club?"

"Hahaha, the scum dog can always make a new job, what the hell is the wallet stolen."

"What's going on? I just saw that the official blog also said that it will leave tomorrow, why are you going to Germany! ”

"You're still trying to lie to me!?"

“……”

When the comment area expressed the credibility of these words, Xu Yang replied to the first comment of the hot comment, and also attached a selfie photo of himself at a foreign airport by the way.

[I didn't join them, and flew directly to Germany from my hometown! 】

With this self-substantiating reply appeared.

The comment area suddenly exploded.

There are fan comments from @E clubs, help from the @Riot team for help, and tips on how to wander around the airport.

Time.

Xu Yang's Weibo is very lively.

even rushed to the seventh place on Weibo's hot search list, which scared Club E and hurriedly posted on Weibo that it had contacted the Riot team to solve the problem.

In this regard, netizens who don't think it's a big deal to eat melons on the Internet have ridiculed:

"Brother scumbag won't wake up and be trafficked, right!?"

"Europe, it's really possible to !!"

"Scum dog, my scum dog, how can we live without you."

"Bad mess, what should I do like this!?"

"Send, I declare that the number of people is not enough to directly judge the loss!"

"Thinking about it from another angle, now is the best time to kill a scumbag dog alone!"

"I'm super, is there any black powder in Germany?"

“……”

With the fermentation of public opinion.

All kinds of e-sports self-media on the Internet made up news according to this news, scaring the onlookers who didn't know the details for a while.

However, this public opinion did not last long.

Just 30 minutes later, Xu Yang's Weibo was updated with a second message:

[Brothers, I happened to meet our host and translator Miss Xiran, she said that she would help deal with the report first, and then take me to the hotel arranged by the event team. 】

There is also a framed photo of the two of them.

I saw that Xu Yang on the left in the photo was relieved, and Xi Ran on the right was full of smiles, like a "little fan girl" who had successfully chased stars.

But the comments seem to be a little unhappy about this.

The German stray metamorphosis of the scum dog has not yet begun!

Why did it end like this?

So the fun people shouted that they wanted to sleep in the airport or the park, and even made jokes about the two "matching together".

That's it

Before the LPL division was played, the emergency of almost facing the "loss of generals" was resolved.

One by one, the team, including E, arrived in Berlin.

Three days later.

5 Yue 11, LCS Studios.

Home of the European Division.

This will be followed by a week-long qualifier here.

As the opening ceremony of the first day, the first game naturally chose the FNC team of the European giants, and the E team, which is also a member of the giants and champions in the region.

"Welcome to Berlin, Germany!"

"I remember."

Wang remembers reading out an opening statement and introducing himself to the camera without any new ideas.

The partner next to him reached out and pushed his glasses, and said:

"I'm Miller."

"Today, we will bring you an explanation of the first day of the competition, and here we need to explain the format to the audience who don't know much about it."

"The current group stage will be played in a Bo1 format."

"The top four teams will advance to the knockout rounds, as well as the possibility of a follow-up final."

While speaking, the director switches the camera to the main stage.

I saw Sjokz, a tall European and American host, walking to the front of the stage with a microphone in his hand, reading out a pre-match declaration of the European home stadium in a calm tone, and then shouting out the names of the FNC players who were the first to appear one by one.

“Bipo,Broxah!”

“Caps!”

“Rekkles,Hylissang!”

Whenever an FNC player took the stage, the audience responded with a warm cheer.

The FNC lineup at this time can be called luxurious.

They are potential players who have just been recruited on the road, the jungler is an old member who has played well in the World Championships, and Caps in the middle is known as the most potential European No. 1 midlaner.

As for the double road.

Ou Cheng, Europe's first ADC.

Helissan, Europe's most imaginative newcomer auxiliary.

This is simply an enhanced version of the last FNC, the Galaxy Battleship of the European Division!

So......

All the European spectators in the audience had high expectations, fantasizing that this former S1 champion could shine again.

It's like a team on the other side.

Compared to FNC, which has home field advantage, E who came in second place has a lot less cheers.

After all, the vast majority of them are

foreign audiences.

Seeing this, Miller, as an old commentator, hurriedly threw out some topics to attract attention and avoid falling into the embarrassing situation of being cold.

"Now the scum dog brother is on the scene."

"He just got off the plane a few days ago and had his wallet stolen, but fortunately there were no accidents in the follow-up, otherwise today's game would be dangerous."

"Yes, you should also protect your personal belongings when you go out to travel."

The king next door remembered to praise and echo at the right time.

At the same time, E's team members are already seated in the player seat and are debugging their keyboard and mouse equipment.

The coach is also on the pitch ready for BP.

Xu Yang slid the mouse a few times at will, then looked up at the player next door and said with a smile:

"Brother Cheng, Ou Cheng on the other side, don't you want to say a few words?"

"Huh!"

The head coach, who had just put on special headphones, smiled and snorted disdainfully.

"Our old dream is no worse than him, Jiahao, you say yes."

"Indeed."

“……”

Listening to his teammates and coaches making fun of himself, Old Meng, who is still young, has an embarrassed smile on his face.

That's when it happened.

The referee behind them reminds them to enter the playing room.

Suddenly, everyone put away their jokes and put all their attention into the screen.

At the same time, a scene of BP interface was also called up in the live broadcast of the event.

"FNC blue square, E red square."

"The former chose to ban Karma, Morgana, and Lo."

"Not ......"

"What do you mean by this forbidden three auxiliaries?"

Looking at the list of Ban positions on the left side of the screen, the commentator Miller looked confused.

Even the issing, as a person concerned, is at a loss.

What's going on?

Why don't you enjoy the treatment of a star player?

Don't say he's confused.

The barrage in the LPL live broadcast room is also frantically brushing question marks to express their doubts:

"Turtle turtle, the BP of the European division is so abstract?"

"Have they studied the E game?"

"Well, highlight one as you like."

"Do you have a problem with weaknesses, no problem!"

"Look down on the scum dog, right, none of you even hit the road, wait!"

"Hahaha, just after the director broadcast to the player's seat, E's little assistant was stunned."

"I'm also confused, why don't you just help as soon as you come up."

“……”

When there was a lot of discussion on the Internet, the BP competition between the two teams continued.

The FNC on the blue side snatched a hand of green steel shadow first.

E then picks a set of Ruiz + Tamu combinations, and FNC locks a set of Kaisha + Bronn duo lineup.

Then 3L of E directly determines Kasumi.

At this point, the first round of BP on both sides has come to an end for the time being.

"Now it's time for the second round of the BP competition."

"The blue side then makes up for a group of blind monks + captain's Ueno hero pool, and E is the possibility of locking up a group of rock sparrows + vampires."

"Then it's E's turn to choose ...... first"

As he spoke, the fourth place in E in the game screen had been locked to fight the boar girl, leaving the last position of Kante on the road.

Just when the commentary was discussing what the scum dog might choose.

The selection of FNC's follow-up lineup attracted everyone's attention.

Because......

They actually chose Yasuo!?

Looking at the lineup information on the screen, Miller widened his eyes and exclaimed:

"FNC finally chose the combination of Yasuo + Troll."

"Huh? How did they play the first game! ”

"Could it be that they want to hit the troll pillar and knock it away, and Yasuo will cooperate with the big move?"

The commentary partner next to him, Wang remembered, guessed.

As soon as these words came out, the live broadcast room of the competition swiped out the barrage of "666".

The E bench was also a little surprised.

Neither the coaching staff nor Xu Yang could have imagined that Caps would choose Yasuo, a midlaner who seemed to be a juggler.

"What's the matter, do you want to continue to choose according to the original plan?"

"Well, take your pick."

Hearing the coach's inquiry, Xu Yang replied with a smile.

Wait for his confirmation.

The coach smiled and hurriedly walked behind the last auxiliary seat, reached out to the screen to point out the location of a hero, and made the final confirmation selection again.

There was a muffled thud.

Suddenly, E's last 5L spot was locked.

Future Guardian, Jace!

Xu Yang quickly changed this hero to his own position, then adjusted the rune configuration, and deliberately changed the exclusive S7 champion skin.

And this scene naturally falls in the eyes of the narrator and the audience.

"Here, Jace, the champion of the scum dog!"

Looking at the BP picture in front of him, the commentator Miller said with a little pride:

"The first group of champion skins in our LPL region appeared in an official competition for the first time."

"I bought it and played it the other day......"

"This skin feels pretty good."

When the two commentators were talking off-topic, the barrage in the live broadcast room of the game was also talking about the same topic.

It's just that the latter is a little unoptimistic about this option.

"I'm super, Jace of the scum dog is bad!"

"You just got a 1-11 record some time ago, right?"

"And it's also the Green Steel Shadow beating Jace, I feel like this game is gone."

"Send, it can only be said that it is a skin bureau."

"Don't worry, it's still no problem to qualify for the group stage!"

“……”

At the same time, the two teams in the live broadcast of the match have completed the formation adjustment.

FNC (blue side): Top laner Green Steel Shadow, Jungler Troll, Mid laner Yasuo, Ad Kaisha, Support Bron.

E (red side): Top single Jace, Wild Boar Girl, middle single Ruiz, Ad Xia, auxiliary Tamu.

……

After a short loading wait.

Soon, the director cut directly to the picture of the summoner's canyon.

I saw that the players of the two teams quickly purchased outdoor clothes, and then went straight to the river to stand guard and defend.

Maybe it's because the atmosphere and competition in the competition are relatively relaxed.

The teams in the European region have a lot of ideas.

In particular, Helisan is a supporter, who often makes some moves that are beyond ordinary people's understanding in the game.

It's like a possession of a strange

Thoughtful gambler behavior.

Earnings may be obtained.

It can also have negative effects.

Like now......

I saw his assistant Bronn bypassing the triangle grass area of the lower lane, and did not wait for Ou Cheng's ad Kaisha, and went to the blue area of E alone to do the vision position.

But what he didn't expect was that E had the same intention.

By the time Helisan approached the entrance to the Blue Zone, five members of E had already bypassed the Blue Buff position, preparing to attack a wave of Tier 1 invasion plans from the gap in the lower half.

"Huh? Bron, what is he doing! ”

Narrator Miller stared at the screen and asked in confusion.

As soon as the words fell, the E five-man group in the game screen collided head-on with one of the support Bronns.

Without a moment's hesitation.

Issing's support Tamu throws a Q skill tongue that slows down the target.

Tian's boar girl followed up with a knock and took control.

Xu Yang also fired a long-range electromagnetic cannon, and then switched the hammer form to knock up the second set of skill outputs, and combined with the damage of Ruiz and Ad Xia, he beat it into a state of residual blood.

"Tam, slow down, pig girl up!"

"Blon from Helissan didn't learn the shield, and the Q skill he learned, even if it slows down, it's useless."

"Tam's hanging light forced a flash."

"E is still chasing ......"

As he spoke, Blon Herisan's remnants of blood flashed backwards with the last trace of blood.

Ou Cheng's Ad Kaisha is also leaning towards this side.

As long as he is given a bite of healing + acceleration, he can survive by chance.

When the time comes......

Unless E chooses to lose two key flashes of strong chase, he won't be able to deal enough kill damage at all.

But just when it was about to enter the scope of treatment.

Xu Yang used the R skill again to switch back to the ranged form, and suddenly flashed forward to reduce the resistance of the basic attack, and at the same time played the Q skill [Electric Concussion] that had cooled down in advance due to "Astral Insight".

Boom!

An energy cannonball glowing with a golden-red arc hit Bron in the back.

Forcibly rushed before he ate the treatment.

There was a loud explosion, instantly emptying the remaining amount of blood, causing it to fall to the ground and die on the spot and turn into a corpse.

Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen:

【Firstblood! 】
