Team representatives from the three divisions took turns to play. Generally speaking, the cheers at the LPL home court were the loudest, followed by the LCK, and the LMS was the quietest.
In this situation, LMS fans watching the live broadcast over there at Wanwan had to say a few weird words from mainland China, but many sober LMS fans still understood the situation.
Unless the competition is held in Kaohsiung, the teams in the LMS division of any country will definitely not be able to compare with the two companies in terms of support.
The opening ceremony ended quickly with cheers from the audience, and today's main game began. In today's game, all four LPL teams have schedules, with RNG taking the lead, IG and EDG in the middle, and R at the end.
The first opening game was played by RF. Speaking of which, the two RF families actually have quite a connection. RNG’s current jungler Kasa was the last wolf king of RF.
After changing teams, meeting F can be regarded as a grudge match. Thinking about killing his old club is very touching.
But the direction of the game was contrary to what LPL fans expected. It was still the same as before, with the top lane getting beaten, the midfielder leading the rhythm, and the bottom lane C.
So I chose Mundo, Qinggang Ying, Galio and Tahm to protect UZI's Kai'Sa in the bottom lane.
But the lineup selected by F Flash Wolves went beyond Coach P's idea. F selected the top laner Captain and mid laner Vampire to mix with RNG, and the crystal pioneer Skarner teamed up with the bottom lane combination of Mordekaiser and Pike.
The bottom lane combination of Pike and Mordekaiser Tetsuo relies heavily on the dragon soul to push the tower out of the demolition system. The selection of Tetsuo means that F will compete with RNG in the early stage for the ownership of the dragon.
Tetsuo with the dragon soul and without the dragon soul are completely two heroes.
As a result, RNG had problems with its handling of the game. It lost four dragons and a Rift Herald, and the rhythm was delayed again and again.
Let F's lineup be biased towards the late stage and advance its power period.
RNG didn't have any capital to fight in the team fight, and ended the game with two crisp team kills.
The defeat in the opening game dampened the confidence of LPL fans, and there was a lot of criticism on the Internet, mainly because the game was too ugly.
RNG focused on the mid-top, and indeed had a lot of advantages. The captain couldn't handle Mundo, but their lineup was destined to only have Kai'Sa as the core of the team fight.
All members of F are very well developed, so Kai'Sa has no room to enter the field for output in team battles. They can attack Kai'Sa without thinking.
Once AD died, the rest of the RNG team was useless. Yu Hui secretly shook his head and whispered to Meng Nan:
"They were too careless with this beating."
There are many ideas for S8's RNG, but its essence has never changed, and I don't know who the genius came up with.
In the game with the iron man Mordekaiser, four dragons were left in vain, and the LMS was not just a cat or a dog that could be bullied.
"I'm really sorry everyone, we didn't fight well~"
I remember laughing: "The M17 came up as the top laner in the third class. It really showed Asuna the greatest respect..."
Su Xiaoyan agreed: "Yes, we all know that in the current version, these three heroes have been weakened to a certain extent, and they are no longer the popular choices in the competition."
I remember shrugging: "I can only say... the shadow of a person's famous tree~"
Both commentators seemed relatively relaxed, not affected by the result of the last game, and had absolute confidence in IG.
With this almost blind worship by the commentators, not many people think there is anything wrong with it.
Because even the LPL fans in the barrage began to discuss the outcome of the next game, popping champagne at halftime has become a traditional performance.
Some RNG fans felt uncomfortable and didn't dare to say a word. If it were someone else, they would have started complaining. At worst, they would have to say yygq, but Yu Hui and the others really couldn't afford to offend him. and...
With Asuna's current competitive status and age, there is a high probability that she can still play for several years. It is impossible for RNG fans to say that such a strong top laner is not greedy, and everyone does not want to cause trouble to gain bad feelings for RNG.
What if Asuna transfers to RNG in the future, right? The God-plus-God Galaxy Battleship is so beautiful when you think about it, and until now, RNG doesn't have a champion that belongs to the club alone. It's still a bit weak when facing the world champion.
Several people on the IG side were very relaxed. In contrast, the atmosphere on the LMS side seemed very solemn. The five players sitting in the competition seats were either expressionless or staring blankly at the computer screen.
The lack of confidence was almost visible to the naked eye. The expression of the BP coach on the LMS stage was also very ugly. IG had just won the MSI consecutively and made history.
The suffocating pressure when beating F is still vivid in my mind. The chaotic battles that LMS likes most are IG's strengths. It can be said that the team they least want to encounter is IG.
"Okay, boys, cheer up. People on the other side are also human and they will make mistakes. Believe in yourself, the sweat and tears you have shed through hard training will not let you down!"
The coach took a bowl of soup and gulped it down, which finally cheered up the M17 people.
<After placing the order, IG's an selection was also determined. Rock Bird, Nocturne and Skarner were banned respectively, and the three an junglers were banned.
In fact, M17's strongest player is their top laner 3z. As a result, it happened to hit someone in his hand. It was almost impossible for their top laner to play any role. It was very unlucky just thinking about it.
Remember: "M17's top laner is their core. I think the highlight of this game is the duel between the top laners. I don't know what kind of top laner heroes the two teams will choose to fight. I'm very much looking forward to it!" "
Su Xiaoyan: "Let's take a look at the first-hand selection of M17...Pig Girl?! Pig Girl has such a high priority in this version of the competition, and it is also a very reasonable choice."
I remember answering: "The most important thing is that IG has already killed the third-hand jungler. There are actually not many choices for the jungler. There is no problem in grabbing the pig girl first."
The red side's IG directly targeted Qinggangying and Ryze. The audience immediately cheered, and the barrage in the live broadcast room also flew up.
"It tastes right, brothers! Rock it!"
"Every time I see IG's BP, it feels so good!"
I remember looking at each other and smiling at Su Xiaoyan, and then continued to explain: "It's a very good choice for IG, both mid and upper field can be played."
The analysts and coaches of the three teams in the lounge had their eyes red with envy. It felt really good to be BP like this. You could do whatever you wanted. Why don’t we have such players? I’m so angry!
The first game of IG's intercontinental competition attracted the attention of most people around the world, especially analysts from the team clubs.
Everyone wants to see if there are any ups and downs and weaknesses in IG after the version changes.
