Chapter 221 I'm here to win the championship, what are you going to do

Unlike DFM, Flash Wolves' performance along the way was definitely not bad.

In the opening match against IW, they were dominating the whole game. Apart from not being able to shut out the opponent, the bloodiness of the scene was no less than that of Fanhua.

Even on the first day, the attention they received worldwide was no less than that of the flowers.

After all, since the opening matches of Group B and Group C were not so overwhelming, the two teams in Group A that looked like they were here to fish naturally became the focus.

But it turns out that there are differences between fried fish.

The problem of weak laning phase that was not exposed against IW was completely exposed when facing Fanhua, who always put a lot of pressure on the laning phase.

For example, Karsa.

This humanoid jungle radar lived up to his title at all. In the jungle confrontation, he almost managed to go back and forth with Mo Fan.

He accurately captured the rhythm of Mo Fan's invasion and counter-jungle several times.

However, even if Karsa noticed that Flash Wolves were at a disadvantage in front of Fanhua, he could not call for support from his teammates.

On the contrary, Mo Fan, relying on his teammates to push and move first, was always able to force his way into the jungle, while Karsa could only watch from the side like a bullied wife.

This scene made the LPL audience laugh.

"Karsa, why are you just watching?"

“Is it really starting?”

But no matter what, Flash Wolves' performance, whether they win or lose, can be said to be in their style.

Even though we cannot say that we are a strong team qualified to compete for the championship for the time being, qualifying from the group stage does not seem to be a problem at the moment.

Then Fanhua, who can easily defeat Flash Wolf, must be even more powerful.

Now, no audience will doubt that this team from the Eastern power is a strong force competing for the championship.

Under the leadership of Japanese netizens, Fanhua, who plays in a gorgeous and aggressive style, has gradually accumulated a group of fans.

In the temporary training room of the hotel where Fanhua was staying, the generals surrounded Lu Liang and stared at each other.

"Old Lu, although I know you really want to prove yourself, there is no need to be so anxious? Calling everyone here late at night?" Zhang Jiale said with a grin.

Since Fanhua's strategy throughout the group stage was to demonstrate operations while retaining tactics, Lu Liang did not make any targeted arrangements in BP based on his research on the opponent.

So he was laughed at by several old players in Fanhua, saying that his BP was not much different from Zhang Wei's.

As a result, on the night when the first round ended, Lu Liang suddenly called everyone together for a meeting, as if he was really stimulated by this statement.

It really made the old men laugh.

Listening to Zhang Jiale's jokes, Lu Liang remained unmoved and just lowered his head to operate the computer.

"So far, the first round of the group stage has all ended. The teams in each group have played a round, and the win-loss relationship between them is clear."

"It's time to judge the strength of the champion teams in the twelve major regions around the world."

When Sun Zheping heard that it was similar to a seating arrangement, he became interested: "So in your opinion, are we the strongest team?"

Lu Liang kept it a secret: "Let's not talk about this for now. There is a very interesting detail that needs attention."

"What details?"

Lu Liang pulled up a picture, which was the group information for the group stage.

“Although the grouping arrangement for the first round was completely random, it was surprisingly quite balanced.”

On the picture, following the example of a well-known Chinese game blogger, Lu Liang also marked the strengths and weaknesses of the twelve participating teams.

"Do you see the problem?" Lu Liang smiled.

Among the three groups, the ratings of each team basically showed obvious class differentiation.

For example, in Group A, Fanhua's rating was S, and Lu Liang even made a funny note: "Unless the King of Sanya uses his power, she will be guaranteed to enter the finals."

Zhang Jiale was very upset. The next team is Flash Wolves A-, which is rated as having good tactics and top-tier junglers and supporters, but poor online combat power. It is expected to enter the second round.

Going further down, DFM and IW were rated B- and C+ respectively, and they didn’t even bother to mark the notes.

Similar situations also occurred in the other two groups, which were basically a championship-level team, a second-round team, and two weak teams.

The distribution is neat and impartial.

"Is the grouping so balanced?" Zhang Jiale exclaimed in amazement. "Are you, Old Lu, giving the points directly based on the performance?"

Lu Liang didn't say anything, he just took off his sunglasses, and appeared in front of everyone with a pair of eyes full of heavy bags and dark circles, looking a little tired.

"Of course not. These ratings are the result of my careful study of the game videos of each team over the past few nights. I have come up with a comprehensive assessment of the strength of each team."

Lu Liang replied calmly.

"Wow! You work so hard! Are you okay?" Zhang Jiale suddenly lost his composure.

Joking aside, the players of Fanhua are very satisfied with the new coach Lu Liang.

Seeing how exhausted he was, she immediately put away her usual frivolity.

"It's okay." Lu Liang put on his glasses again, "It's just these few days."

"Come to think of it, the groups were clearly randomly divided but they were arranged so neatly. Does this mean there is something fishy going on?" Xiye suddenly remembered something.

Lu Liang did not comment: "Maybe it can be said to be a shady deal, but I would rather call it regulation."

"MSI is not a competition that ends with no follow-up. Its ranking will directly affect the berth in the subsequent S-League."

"In such a heavyweight competition, if the officials really insist on randomness, it would be disrespectful to the players and the region."

"For example, in the group stage, if the three championship-level teams I rated were randomly placed in the same group, and the four C-rated teams were placed in another group."

"That would be really fun." Zhang Jiale nodded in agreement.

According to the pre-match instructions, as long as you can enter the second round, your region will be guaranteed two spots.

If there is a strong team that is a contender for the championship but unfortunately loses in the first round due to grouping problems and is eliminated from the MSI,

"So, the more I study, the more I feel impressed by the official's deep understanding of its teams and its profound control over the development of each major region."

"Being able to come up with such a balanced grouping before the MSI starts, I can't compare to this level."

There was a hint of regret in Lu Liang's eyes.

Just when a few old guys were praising Tencent officials, Xiye suddenly saw something different on Lu Liang's picture.

"Coach Lu, why did you write a question mark on SKT?" he asked curiously.

In Group C, C3, which is 0-9, is currently rated A+ to S-, and is a strong team that is definitely a contender for the championship.

However, SKT, which is currently ranked second in the group, has received a strange question mark in its combat power evaluation.

Lu Liang was stunned, and then a rare look of uncertainty appeared in his eyes:
"Because I really can't be sure how strong this SKT is."

"Sometimes, they are so strong that they look like they are here to compete with us for the championship."

"But at other times, they can be ridiculously weak..."

　First update.

　　Take a day off today.

　　So it’s four thousand today, and there will be two thousand left later.

　　Please bear with me, everyone.
