Speedrunning Linglong Tower in the World Championship is so cool.
Knight looked a little envious. The mid laner of BDS looked like a complete tadpole. He didn't fight back and just kept hiding under the tower.
This kind of mid laner may be invincible in terms of stabilizing the line, but he puts too much pressure on his teammates.
Let me put it this way, if you are his teammate, and every minute he says that the opposing mid laner is missing, how can you not feel pressured?
This kind of opponent best meets Knight's ordering standards. Infinitely pushing the line, infinitely taking the initiative, and being able to be active in three lanes all the time. Just thinking about it makes him feel so cool.
When Xia Sen took off his headphones, the sound of Director Xun's "Nice" was still echoing in his ears. Everyone was excited about the first victory in the World Championship.
This game was also easy to play. The advantage in the beginning was too great, which allowed the lineup to start working earlier.
"I told you before, Garen is useless. He just relies on ignite to gain lane control and then roams around to annoy people." Bin recalled, thinking about how he should put on a good face during the interview later.
"Their mid and jungle have never had the initiative, and Garen is useless. The mid laner played really well this time, it's a god of Xia." Xun said happily. The mid laner played really well this time. Every few minutes, he could hear Xia Sen's voice:
"I can move."
The sound can only be achieved if there is absolutely no pressure.
It's also quite abstract that the line-dominant snake girl was turned into an earthbound spirit.
"Hey, it's okay."
"Stop chatting, the other party is waiting." on complained.
"I'm coming."
Xun didn’t know why he was so excited. They just beat a wildcard team.
But there was no way around it. He felt that it was a wonderful start in the first world championship, even if he won by a wildcard.
"The MVP was given to Bin's weapon as expected. No problem. His damage tolerance and output ratio are perfect. A KDA of 5-1-8 is not easy for a top laner."
"We can't help it. This game ended too quickly. There was no need for elk and bighand to exert their strength. In the team fight, the opponent couldn't get rid of our Jakos for the time being."
Wang Duoduo and Xiao San watched BLG get off to a good start, and they began to relax.
The winning BDS has been very popular recently.
"Recently, bighand's ascent to the top of the Korean server caused quite a stir. I saw that many people actually held opposing opinions, saying that ranking close to the competition is useless, and they also listed a series of examples, such as excavators."
Wang Duoduo changed the subject, and Xiaosan took it over honestly:
"Rank is definitely useful. People who say this don't understand the profession."
"Players who don't even understand Rank are not even qualified to play."
"In our era, if you didn't have hundreds or thousands of points, the coach wouldn't take you seriously. He would demote you at any time. You had to rely on ranking to keep your job, you know."
"It's just that it's too difficult to achieve a high-efficiency Rank like bighand, and it's even more difficult to bring the Rank state to the game."
"Yes." Wang Duoduo read out, "That's why Bighand can get to this point this year. Look at the scene, BLG has already gone over to fist-bump."
Everyone in BDS has a pretty good attitude.
Although they were beaten, it depends on who their opponent is. They came to this game more to learn. They will probably see the video of this game again and again in the next year.
When the mid laner of BDS saw Xia Sen coming over, he broke out in sweat.
It's too stressful to play against him in the laning phase. Snake Lady's Q can't hit the target at all. How can we exchange blood?
Win this one.
BLG advances to the next round with a one-win pool.
Return to the lounge.
tabe praised everyone without reservation.
From the coach's perspective, this game was indeed played well. We did not relax just because the opponent was weaker and did not give the opponent any chances.
This is good.
"Hold on, brothers. There will be more exciting scenes in the knockout rounds later."
"In this game, we played flawlessly. We had a good grasp of the timing of moving to the side in the middle lane. We took advantage in the early stages and made perfect decisions to slowly snowball. You did a great job."
After the game, everyone can finally eat something.
Forget about the bananas, just have two pieces of chocolate to fill your stomach.
Wait until the match between WBG and NRG.
The LPL No. 4 seed vs. the LCS No. 1 seed.
They are all major tournaments, so logically the number one seed would have the advantage, but in fact not many people outside are optimistic about NRG.
But I have to say that North America really likes to play jungle Taliyah. This time, they played a mid and jungle with Jayce and Taliyah without any coordination.
WBG, on the other hand, was very conventional, choosing an overall lineup for the mid-term and a Tsar to back up the late-term lineup.
From this we can see that WBG actually struggled with the hero, the Ruined King, for a long time.
But the Ruined King is too difficult to obtain in this version, and Xia Sen also thinks it is not good.
In his opinion.
This hero is more of a jungler, and he must have heroes with strong control and AOE in his team so that he can reap the rewards.
Just like the reason why RNG’s King of Ruined King system was invincible in 22.
It’s because Xiaohu’s Ice Girl and Ming’s Titan are so good.
But in this version, Titan is okay and can be released together with Kaisa.
The Ice Girl cannot be produced at all, she is too weak in the lane, and it is much harder for her to take control of the lane in the middle lane than other versions of heroes.
Enter the game.
Xun is still not optimistic about the Taliyah jungler: "It's meaningless to choose this kind of thing. Sacrificing the lane for the jungle is not the way to play in this version."
"See, NRG has a hard time maintaining stability in this laning phase."
10 minutes later.
It's true. None of the three NRG routes have a line.
Xiaohu's Tsar also fought one against two and killed Jayce in the middle lane.
"Turtle, Tiger!"
"Does this mean that the world championship will explode this year?"
"This Jayce is simply pissed off by Tsar. Using Q like this is no different from giving up. Tsar has a big power."
WBG gained an advantage in the early stage and the lineup also had an advantage, so it was almost over.
NRG has been waiting for Rock Bird to carry people and draw prizes. This set of tactics may have a chance in their region.
But facing WBG, to be honest, it's a bit funny.
The disadvantaged army launched several attacks, but they were all blocked by the Tsar alone.
25 minutes in, NRG is 8K behind.
In the highland group, WBG Rambo used his ultimate skill and the NRG formation was directly broken up.
"NRG's top, mid and jungle played too casually."
"Xiaohu is in great form. WBG seems to be playing much better than in the playoffs. With the top half in good form, it seems like the upper limit of this WBG has really been revealed."
Seeing WBG's current state, Xia Sen also felt a little pressure.
It was actually a bit hard for NRG to accept losing this game.
They were the only team in the first tier to be defeated by the fourth seed, which was a bit embarrassing.
In fact, over in North America, the commentators were all broken.
"Oh my God, the No. 1 seed in our region didn't stand a chance against their No. 4 seed."
"Don't you want to reflect on this?"
As for the forum discussions, they were even more explosive, and pessimism had filled their hearts.
Although they don't want to admit it, I guess they will be runners-up again this year.
"Xiaohu must have read the letters NRG wrong, that's why he got so excited!"
"Really? I misread it at first. I thought RNG won the resurrection match and advanced to the World Championship."
When WBG returned to the backstage.
Danny was generous with his praise.
On the other hand, the mid and jungle players of NRG huddled in the corner and received training from the coach.
"If they can't even get past the WBG, what's the point of talking about the knockout rounds!"
"G2 is on the field, do you have any opinions on playing against DK?"
"The chances of winning are pretty good. DK is a bit weak this year, especially the bottom lane. It feels like Deft lost his temper."
I've practiced with BLG and DK. DK has a lot of ways to play this year, whether it's centered around the bottom lane or the mid and jungle, but none of them have been used to their full potential.
When playing against DK, G2 immediately took out Draven and Renata in the bottom lane, which caused a burst of cheers at the scene.
Turtle, are you going to order Deft?
Because G2’s operations in China have always had a good reputation.
In addition, the AD player Hans sama has a rather outstanding appearance, which has caused G2's support rate to soar. "When did Hans sama become so handsome? He didn't look like this last year?"
The barrage of comments raises soul-searching questions.
"Really? You look quite handsome after taking off your glasses and changing your hairstyle."
"Hans sama was the AD of the Rabbit team back then, and he almost overturned SKT."
"Did his Draven have any say?"
“I can only say that it’s top-notch!”
There weren't many surprises in this game.
G2's bottom laner Levin gained a big advantage in the early game.
It’s no big deal if the middle lane loses two waves in the mid-game, as Caps can provide a backup in the middle lane.
It is obvious that G2's lineup is more scientific.
DK's lineup is somewhat formulaic.
Once the team is at a disadvantage, Jayce and Varus are useless. Xu Xiu's Tsar has good equipment but the front row is not tanky enough, so he can't perform well.
This Tsar can't push the enemy, and he can't keep up with the speed of exchanging front row with the opponent from behind.
So, after 40 minutes, G2 still won the victory with its lineup advantage.
"It's quite abstract. Giving Canyon Riel, who else can this team rely on if not their mid and jungle carry?" Xun made a sharp comment: "Giving top laner Jayce, why? His Jayce is average."
"G2's thinking was really good this time. They kept attacking the bottom lane, and the top lane also understood the half-zone principle, so nothing went wrong the whole time."
"Yes, Caps is really good at playing traditional mages like Clockwork in the mid lane." Xia Sen talked.
But Xia Sen knew that the top hero in the European mid lane was still Leblanc, and LPL had suffered too much from Leblanc.
"But in this matchup, Clockwork has a big advantage, and it's still hard to exchange blood with Tsar when he uses Hail of Blades." Xia Sen added that ShowMaker is of course also very powerful.
This victory gave a great morale boost to the European region!
“Roar, G2!”
"Hans sama, the god of AD!"
After the game, the MVP was given to Hans sama's Draven.
Someone saw Deft was very happy to be matched against MVP.
"I told you, the West Eight Old Five champion, I can do whatever I want with him."
There are only two LPL games left.
FNC versus LNG.
FNC's classic Taliyah jungler.
Xia Sen knows FNC's mid laner Humanoid. He is the second best mid laner in Europe, except for Caps.
The two great mages are very powerful in the LEC region, and even their hero pools are similar.
But there is still a gap between the two teams. LNG can reach the finals in the summer season, so they cannot be simply viewed as the third seed.
In this game, LNG showed the world what a top mid, jungle and support player is.
The FNC mid and jungle were directly beaten to pieces. They had never seen anything like this before, with the support not being in the bottom lane and just playing hard.
The key point is that they can develop even if they play alone in the bottom lane, and their level is high, which is disgusting.
After 20 minutes of super-powerful Tsar, LNG has basically taken the lead.
In the last team fight, Tsar poked a few times and the enemy front row was wiped out. Gala also got a feel for playing Xayah, using R to flash into the field and hooking to pull the back row, and FNC exploded instantly.
"Scout and Tarzan's mid and jungle are still tops. They can't beat us, so there's no pressure to beat FNC."
Xun started to scream again.
"Scout is a really good Tsar. Teammates allocate resources to him and he is the C whenever he is asked to be." Xia Sen said.
After the game, the MVP was given to Tsar, and the on-site commentator praised Scout, saying that this is the top mid laner who came out of SKT and has had the ability to face Faker a long time ago!
The final battle of the first day was between JDG and KT.
BDD likes to play Akali in the Korean server and is good at it. This is Xia Sen’s impression.
As for the usual training games, I can't remember them clearly, but I know that KT likes AG to restart.
Bin also has fresh memories of KT's top laner Kiin.
In the Korean server, Bin feels that he can beat anyone, including Zeus, but he only meets Kiin.
He is worthy of being a national player. Not only does he play well on the field, he is also extremely serious when playing in the Rank.
Even someone as stubborn as Ale is extremely impressed by Kiin, which is evident.
It’s just that Kiin has been trying to get big contracts every year, and the teams he has joined have always been disappointing. Until now, he has not won the first honor in his career.
But this does not affect the outside world's evaluation of his unit at all.
This year's KT lineup is not bad, but it cannot be said to be top-notch.
BDD and Cuzz in the mid and jungle, Lian Zi and Aiming in the bottom lane.
The reason why BLG has always been known as the victim in the past few years is largely due to Aiming in S11.
At that time, BLG and EDG were both competing for him. Uncle spent 1500 million to get him, and EDG had to settle for the second best and buy Viper.
Then when they got to the competition field, the performances of the two ADs were so different that it was amazing.
After returning to LCK, Aiming showed his outstanding level again, which made people wonder if Aiming was playing BLG at the beginning.
In the end, JDG won the game. Jasmauke's system got the electric dragon soul and Poke the opponent in the late game, which was completely unsustainable, not to mention that KT did not have a large front row.
Amid the cheers of the live commentator.
The first day of the Swiss round ended.
LPL viewers enjoyed the show.
Turtle, we won all the games! We also won two LCK games.
OK! It’s another promising year for LPL!
The second round of draw will be held tomorrow.
The person in charge of the drawing of lots was a new face. Domestic audiences didn’t pay much attention to him. They just thought that this person looked a bit like the protagonist of a TV series from their childhood, but they couldn’t remember who it was at the moment.
There will be fewer shares in the second round of draws. The winner will draw the winner, and the loser will draw the loser, and they will not avoid the same competition area.
However, even in this situation, the guy on the stage actually produced a top-notch program effect.
BLG vs. JDG, T1 vs. Gen.G.
The kings and queens of the two major competition areas, a battle of grudges.
"Ah, are we going to fight King K again?" Xia Sen's subconscious words were recorded by the staff on the camera.
At the same time, Faker also complained: "Chovy again"
The winner draw is as follows.
G2:WBG.
BLG:JDG.
C9: LNG.
GEN: T1.
Seeing that their opponents were confirmed, the BLG players all returned to the hotel.
The losers of the first day are divided into the following groups.
NRG: TL.
KT: DK.
MAD: BDS.
FNC: GAM.
Let’s fight back and start discussing the draw.
Bar mates quickly opened the champagne.
"Turtle, draw the lot, LCK is going to have a civil war for its own region, right?"
"This guy is top-notch. KT is playing against DK. If DK loses again, they will not be able to get out of the group."
"Tomorrow it's BLG vs. JDG again. It's so boring. Are they going to capture Meng Huo for the seventh time?"
"Looking at it this way, it's not too good for LPL to win all the games today. Tomorrow will be the watershed. It's hard to say whether WBG will play against G2. The main reason is that Xiaohu played stably and well against Cpas."
“LNG and BLG are definitely stable.”
"Eight teams advance and eight teams are eliminated, so it's not too much for LPL to get four spots."
"Looking at this group, DK is in danger. They may start with a score of 0:2 tomorrow. But they still have a chance in the Swiss round. If they play against a team with a score of 0:2, DK may be able to make it through."
"You played well today, keep up the good work tomorrow."
