Such a high number of ranks and the record of almost always getting C has caused discussion.

Especially in North America and Europe, they began to reflect.

I think the reason why League of Legends is now a game between China and South Korea is because the attitudes of the players are so different. China and South Korea have never lacked hard-working players.

But what about them? They play professionally as a job, train for 6 hours a day, and have two days off on weekends.
There are too many comments like this.

"Honestly, there is a reason why our region has not achieved any results. Two BO1s a week, my god, being a professional player is too easy."

“Attitude is everything.”

"But talent in the game is everything, isn't it? Our mid laner, Cpas, is always at the top level in the World Championships. He's not afraid of anyone in the mid lane."

"That's what I said, but isn't it terrifying when talent and hard work are combined together?"

"BLG's top, mid and jungle are all gold medalists. They are all top-notch professional players. It seems that only the mid laner in our region can stand out."

"Actually, after saying so much, I still feel that our region is too comfortable. There are few practices, few competitions, and even fewer players who can perform well in Rank."

"Yes, but there is no way."

Riot has also taken action against the "comfortable" competition system in North America and Europe, and has joined forces with sponsors to pressure them to increase the number of competitions.

But professional players, coaches and a number of workers have jointly opposed the regulations. What can we do? We can only let it go.

These arguments were translated into Chinese by caring netizens and posted back to the forum.

"I can only say that it's all a fuss. They will know who the real God is after tomorrow's competition!"

"It feels like the LPL has found a backbone this year."

"But I'm still worried that playing so much Rank every day will affect my training."

"You're overthinking this. You can see that he usually comes online very early or very late. It's obvious that he's taking time out to come online."

"Come on, BLG."

The reputation of BLG this year in Kangba is extremely good, because there is nothing to criticize about this team no matter what.

The big gangsters lurking in the anti-corruption bar are also annoyed.

From nationality to attitude to performance and strength, there really is no black spot, right?

On the 19th, the first day of the Swiss round kicked off at the KBS Arena in Seoul.

Before leaving for the venue, Xia Sen chatted with Tabe for a while, waiting for Brother Bin and the others to pack up.

It can be seen that everyone is quite relaxed today.

Xia Sen and his team don't have much information about the rising star team BDS, but from the qualifying rounds, we can see that they...the show effect is very good.

BDS top laner Adam also said in the post-match interview that he wanted to teach Bin a lesson.

As for the other members of BDS, Xia Sen is not too sure, but he can see from the video of the game.

Their mid laner was very slow, just using basic skills to play the game, not looking for opportunities nor giving them any.

When getting on the bus, Xun said he was a little nervous and his hands were shaking.

This is very normal. Xia Sen is actually a little uneasy. The World Championship is too important. It is the pinnacle competition of the year for professional players around the world, and they have to be scrutinized by summoners all over the world.

It would be strange if there wasn't enough pressure.

At least at this moment, everyone is quiet. Normally, On and Bin would have started arguing long ago.

In this situation, everyone can only rely on self-regulation.

Arrived at the venue.

Everyone was arranged to go to their team's lounge, and on the way they met WBG. Xiaohu greeted Xia Sen, a little unnaturally.

Recently, Xia Sen was a little shocked by the news that he ranked first in the Korean server before the game.
I was shocked by his daily ranking volume and efficiency.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Xia Sen is not a human being. Isn’t he tired?
Seeing Xia Sen at this moment, he didn't even look haggard at all.

This made Xiaohu very difficult to bear.

Another Doinb?

As the KBS Arena is specially designed for e-sports events, the atmosphere is naturally amazing.

There were quite a few spectators.

After a quick glance, the seats were almost full.

The big screen hanging high on the stage is now playing some "gossip" about this world competition.

For example, the youngest age list of players.

BLG led the game with 20.2. They were all young people. If they hadn’t been dragged down by elk, they would have made it into the top 20.

At the same time, BLG is also the third team in history to challenge the Grand Slam of all competitions within a year.

Before it was RNG and G2.

And Theshy returned to the world championship stage after 1447 days.

In an instant, the big screen turned and played the promotional animation of DRX winning the championship last year.

The game started with Faker appearing as a wandering mage.

After being snatched away by Deft's policewoman.

“Welcome to the Swiss round of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship!”

"This is Seoul for a month, we will witness the new king ascending the throne, let us enjoy this annual e-sports feast together!"

The first game was between T1 and TL.

TL, the team with four Korean players, also tried five Korean players in their league this year, but gave up after the results were average.

This team is no ordinary one, as they have two world champions.

One is last year’s DRX’s P player, and the other is Ruler’s champion support Corejj.

Corejj is truly a winner in life. He is 30 years old and can still earn big contracts in North America every year. He can also settle down in North America after retirement.

But there is no way, who can blame others for having such ability?
As the owner of Luo's skin, at the S9 MSI, I told another owner what is the authentic one.

In the process of watching.

Xia Sen and others were also exchanging ideas.

It's just that this game was unexpectedly tense.

After 30 minutes, TL had an economic lead and also took the Baron.

Xun couldn't sit still any longer: "Blind Monk's idea is pretty good."

"That's great! I guess it's because they gained experience from catching Faker last year, but I feel like TL's mid lane is too abstract, right? It's hard to say this time." Bin asked Xia Sen.

"I guess she was a little nervous. It was a bit abstract that Sindra didn't connect the ball."

The reason why TL is in such a good situation now is entirely due to P5's contribution. His Lee Sin is kicking Faker like a ball, which has stunned all the netizens.

"Now it's DRX's turn to regret kicking Pyosik out. As a result, their champion mid and top players can only watch Pyosik perform at home."

"My fifth nephew is quite fierce. He definitely has experience in playing against T1. He has a real chance of winning this time!"

"It's hard to say. Zeus's Jayce is too well equipped. He already has the Blue Dragon Blade."

No matter what, TL's situation is very good now.

On the operational level, TL did a good job.

It’s a pity that they couldn’t hold on in the 35-minute team fight and were directly defeated by T1.

At the end of the game, TL was ahead in economy. It was too abstract.

"What a pity." Xun smacked his lips.

Bin's sharp comment was that TL's mid laner couldn't keep up with the rhythm and couldn't play Syndra effectively.

Sure enough, the only shortcoming of the team with four Korean players in the North American division is that one American.

In the second game, C9 fought against MAD.

The Light of North America versus the Lion of Europe.

The reason why it is the pride of North America is that C9 has never used Korean players in previous years and has been able to enter the top eight of the World Championship every year.

The European Lions are so called because they play well and their team logo is a lion's head.

MAD has a European soul this year, the support player Hylissang.

People give nicknames out for fun, and they can’t stop giving them out every year during the World Championships.

"Can the jungle core be played in this version?" Xun asked a soul-searching question to C9 jungler Taliyah and mid laner Quesanti's mid and jungle.

"C9's jungler is very good. They relied on this to advance to the next round in the region."

Tabe replied that the basic work had been done.

As a result, C9 really relied on this set of jungle cores to defeat MAD.

In the third game, the BLG players cheered up. This game between Gen.G and GAM needed to be studied carefully.

The BP ideas of both teams are very clear.

Gen.G's Ahri and Wei, GAM's Neeko and Lee Sin, both want to create a rhythm in the mid-jungle to end the game in the early to mid-game.

This situation depends on the individual strength of the players.

In 15 minutes, Gen.G was leading by 8K.

"Fuck, Chovy, this fox is swimming like a dragon."

"GAM's AD was too cowardly. They had a chance to win the game. What a pity."

After two team battles, GAM no longer had the strength to fight.

Gen.G won.

To be honest, there was nothing to see from this game, as both teams used very conventional lineups.

Well, it’s only the first day, what can everyone reveal?
After this game.

It's Xia Sen's turn to take the stage.

When he stood up, Bin clenched his fists.

"I think we can ban their top lane hero. I have no problem with that. There will be some uncertainty in their top lane."

In this year's World Championship, Bin actually made a decision in his heart.

Never learn from the last World Championship and kidnap teammates during BP.

Xia Sen was a little surprised that Bin would say such a thing. If he really banned the opponent's top laner Garen Luo, from the outside world's perspective, wouldn't it be simply admitting defeat?

Can bin bear this?

"Okay, their top lane hero pool is very shallow, I think we can target them."

Xun disagreed: "It doesn't matter what they take in the top lane. We just have Crocodile and Nidalee in the top and jungle. They can't stand it."

Playing against a weak team, xun obviously wanted to put on a show.

Although Xun was nervous, he was mostly excited. After watching for two hours, he wanted to perform even more.

"Bin÷, you are not a coward, are you?" Bin turned his head expressionlessly: "Coward? I laughed, but I just felt it was unnecessary. Do you understand that I am someone with world competition experience?"

"Going in once counts as experience"

On the side, listening to Xun's underestimation, Bin wanted to scold him.

But, forget it, let’s talk about it after the fight.

outside world.

The audience who had been waiting in the live broadcast room for a long time were looking forward to this game.

One is the signature Garen and Luo Shou players who represent most top laners.

One is the sharpest sword in LPL, and everyone can't wait to see what kind of tricks they will come up with.

"How do you say you beat the God King? What did bin use to beat Galen Luo's hand?"

"Many brothers were easily abused by Sword Lady and Sword Demon."

"It feels like the battle can be easily ended within 30 minutes when playing BDS."

“The grouping is wonderful.”

"Charge, charge, kill!"

Inside the venue.

The Korean commentators at home chatted with each other.

"He became the No.1 player in the Korean server in just a few days. What a crazy guy."

"But I have to say, he is really amazing. Chovy has already proved it at the Asian Games." The commentator shrugged.

“Attitude sometimes really proves everything.”

“Yes, I am now wondering how they will win the game against BDS?”

"I was thinking that, too." His partner touched his chin and said, "Playing mid and jungle is the easiest, and we can probably push through in 20 minutes."

When the fans supporting BDS at home heard the commentator look down on their home team like that.

Sneering fiercely.

Since the qualifying round, BDS has not been favored, but what about now?
We have made it to the Swiss round and can face the top team BLG.

Just wait and see, no one is optimistic about BDS, but BDS will definitely slap you in the face!
In the LPL commentary booth.

Wang Duoduo: "Here it comes, LPL's first appearance in the world game."

Xiaosan: "I feel like BLG has a pretty good chance of winning. If you want to be safe, just target their top lane."

"Indeed, but no matter what, as long as there are no problems in the middle lane, BLG should win easily."

Now the referee has confirmed and will quickly enter the BP interface.

The winner of the Swiss round has the priority to choose the side, but because it is the first day, BLG has no game record, while BDS does.

All BDSs actively choose the blue side.

Right at the start, BDS banned Tristana, Ahri, and Maokai.

Obviously prepared.

BLG only banned the regular three players: Clockwork, Skateboards and Tsar.

The outside world became excited when they saw this BP.

Sure enough, BLG is definitely not afraid of your Garen and Luo's hands. Do you dare to take it?

Face the bin!

Not banning these heroes is certainly not a sign of disrespect. BLG has naturally taken this into consideration when forming the team, and they have many ways of playing.

It’s not that the top and jungle system is unplayable, and it’s not like JDG just let the top lane run wild, so why can’t they go up and teach them a lesson?
As for the top laner on the opposite side who likes to show off before the game, Xia Sen supports Bin to deal with him.

The selection was quick.

BDS saw Bin take out his weapon first, and Adam confidently took out Garen.

For Garen, who is a master of all trades, this is an infinite advantage.

But he forgot that it also depends on who he is hitting.

xun: "It's a pity that they banned Nidalee, otherwise they could easily play in the upper half."

"It's okay. With our lineup, they are under a lot of pressure."

The game loads.

Both lineups:

BDS (blue) Garen (ignite), Prince, Snake Girl, bottom lane Xia (purification) Luo (ignite).

BLG (red) Weapon (ignite), Wei, Ahri, bottom lane Kakashi (purification) Shaka Minotaur (ignite).

"To be honest, the BDS lineup is pretty good at counter-attacking." Xiaosan talked about the lineup: "But our lineup can always control the initiative. The opponent's three Cs in the top, middle and bottom are too bulky and can easily be all-in."

"Yes, Xiaosan and I share the same opinion. We have a big advantage in this BP."

During the loading phase, Xia Sen felt very calm.

Bin, on the other hand, was not very calm, as he had played this game before on the Korean server.

There is a reason for those Garen masters who use ignite, at least they cannot show off their weapons before the gods separate them.

But this time, under everyone's encouragement, Bin also chose to bring ignite. He didn't want to stay on the sidelines and just did it!

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was going to be a fierce fight on the top lane.

Sure enough, BDS understood the situation at the beginning. They first hid in the middle with five people, and seized the opportunity when Xia Sen wanted to put an eye on F6, and made Fox flash.

Xia Sen was startled, but luckily he reacted quickly and dodged Luo's attack, otherwise he would have been killed on the spot.

This sounded a wake-up call for Xia Sen. As expected, the opponent also knew how to do research. No matter who he played against, he couldn't relax because this was the global finals.

There are no underdogs.

Then BDS jungler Prince used red buff and quickly moved up.

I spent the entire 3 minutes and seconds crouching in the grass in the upper river channel.

Sure enough, bin had never seen this before, and he was really killed by the ambush. The kill line was too high for the Prince and Garen with ignite, and bin had no chance to operate. He could only use his skills to fight back.

However, it seemed that Bin lost this wave, but the moment the Prince in the top lane lost vision, Xia Sen used the soldiers to push the line and exert pressure on the bottom.

With xun's four-on-two attack, BDS's bottom lane had no choice but to retreat at a loss.

"In this way, elk gets two layers of plating. This wave of BDS jungler plays like this, which means he doesn't treat the bottom lane as a human being."

"It's really uncomfortable for Xia and Rakan to be messed up like this. They can't grab levels and will be suppressed all the time."

"It's mainly because Ahri's timing was perfect. He just happened to be gathering troops in the bottom lane and pushing the middle lane."

Next, BDS’s game ideas became a bit perverted.

The top and jungle teamed up to push the line first and then roamed around together to cause trouble. If it weren't for Xun's good awareness, they would have been killed in the jungle several times.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that BDS wants to defeat the master with a random punch. Knowing that they have no chance of playing a normal game with BLG, they just mess up the game.

After being treated like this, Bin and Xun both got angry.

Bin started to hoard the line, and Xun was counter-camping behind him. When BDS tried to repeat the same trick, he was caught off guard by Xun who came out from the grass.

In the confrontation between top and jungle, it is easy for BDS to focus on one target, but it cannot withstand the top-level pull of bin and xun.

Each person shared a little of the damage, which made Garen very nervous. Both of them were at low health and could not reach the killing line of their ultimate skills.

Finally, the weapon's second E turned out well, and BLG won the battle between top and jungle.

Weapon harvested two kills, and BDS was in complete chaos.

The jungler didn't know which way to go when he went out.

In the top lane, Weapon can fight two at the same time. In the middle lane, Snake Girl has been hiding under the tower to eat soldiers.

As for the bottom lane, it is even more uncomfortable. Fox always shows up in the bottom lane whenever he has something to do.

Where can the jungler go? As soon as I reached F6, Wei came.

How to do?
Can't play this game.

After 20 minutes, the game became a completely one-sided torture.

Two hits from the weapon's edge can knock Garen so hard that he can't take care of himself.

Wang Duoduo: "Big Dragon, one wave, no one on the other side can defend the line."

"Congratulations to BLG for their first win. With a nearly 22 gold advantage in minutes, I have to say that the dominance shown by this BLG team is too terrifying."

"I even thought that if it was the entire BLG team at the Asian Games, we would probably be defeated even faster,"

The Korean commentator talked in a pessimistic tone.

Domestic barrages were flooding the screen.

"I told you before, we have to let Bin play against this kind of top laner who likes to show off before the game."

"Really? Even though winning a BDS is not a big deal, it feels good to win. This advantage is really cool to watch."

"My French brother is about to cry. This is too harsh. I'm talking to you, bin!"

When you win the game.

The various team lounges backstage were generally quiet.

It’s not that I think BLG deserved to lose. When playing against a team like this, winning is what everyone generally thinks, and it’s right that they won happily.

But the gap in strength was huge in the previous times, why is it not like this?

Especially when T1 played against TL, it was extremely tense.

T1 is still adjusting in the first game, right? Then BLG doesn't need to adjust?

Xiaohu couldn't help but envy Xia Sen for winning so easily as he watched him do it with ease.

He paid attention to the mid lane match. In his opinion, it was not so easy for Fox to beat Snake Girl, not to mention that Fox had lost flash before.

It was so terrifying that the flash dropped in front of the snake girl, which made Xiaohu think of the not-so-pleasant memory of S8.

Because his flash dropped under the previous T, Ryze was afraid to leave the river during the entire laning phase and was afraid to exchange any blood.

I didn't hit anyone for 20 minutes.
But Xia Sen didn't dodge and just kept pushing and moving. Isn't this a manifestation of strength?

Xiaohu was a little envious, because he could never do that.

It was impossible when I was young and it is even more impossible now.

"Let's go, it's our turn."

"We are facing the North American No. 1 seed. Come on!"

"Ah."
