The game between IG and MVP begins.
This duel attracted the attention of all players from the three major divisions.
The LMS and LCK know very little about the IG team.
The two major regions prepared a lot of ideas and tactics to deal with EDG before the start of the intercontinental competition. They dare not say it when playing against others, but they are both confident when playing against EDG. After all, this team has been deeply involved in the double C system since S4, and now several years have passed. EDG still stays in the comfort zone and flatters the old 'dual cards, dual standby', a team with a single strategy. It is destined not to go far on the competition stage.
After studying for more than half a month, the intercontinental competition finally started, but you told me that EDG is not coming?
IG has become a team that the two major divisions urgently need to know about.
The content of the training matches has not been exposed, and there have only been a few BO3 rounds in the summer split. There are really few examples that can be used for reference. As for the previous spring split, due to the drastic changes in the summer split lineup, the reference significance is no longer great.
"JackeyLove is a player who is very offensive and likes to operate."
"The support can't keep up with his rhythm. He often misses the best time to exchange blood, and he can't control the time to exchange blood to the maximum extent. The bottom lane is not strong."
SSG's veteran AD, Chi Di commented very pertinently.
Hearing this, the others nodded.
"Baolan is the team's shortcoming. OgGod once said in the LPL Spring Split that if you play against IG, just grab it without thinking. The support player will sell AD. We need to keep this in mind. If we can't beat it, this support player will be the first." Time to stop loss, and he is used to playing soft support. Sometimes when he is given hard support, he will always stand behind the ADC. This kind of inexplicable operation is difficult to imagine that this is a player participating in the competition."
Samsung head coach Edgar added.
"The middle lane is IG's carry point. You only need to hold down the middle lane and just rely on the jungler to lead the rhythm. It is difficult for IG to set the rhythm. As for Duke on the top lane, he is an overrated champion top laner. There is no need to target him too much. His style of play is usually to make no mistakes, which is also Duke's biggest drawback."
Old teammate Bang said to the point.
After hearing this, the other LCK players silently remembered it in their hearts.
Just looking at the early stage, IG is not much better than MVP.
The four major leaders of the LCK all weigh the strength of their opponents in their minds. To a large extent, the group stage serves as a way to test each other's cards and deepen their understanding. The real highlight is the BO5 in the 'relay format' that follows.
This is a competition system that has never been seen in the history of League of Legends. Because the order of the two teams will be determined by the coaches of the division, it involves a game of "Tianji Horse Racing".
Therefore, they urgently need to collect information to determine the overall strength of this small IG that has replaced EDG, and which horse in their own division can compete with it.
on the stage.
At 15 minutes into the game, the first wave of 5V5 large-scale team battle broke out between the two sides.
IG played a 3-for-5 team annihilation, won a complete victory, and took over the canyon.
After gaining the advantage, IG began to try to eat away at the MVP step by step.
However, MVP is not a weakling. He does a good job in defense. IG cannot attack for a long time. In the process of operating the vanguard to win the first tower, MVP's double C stole the development.
"The IG team is not very good at operations."
"They like to fight, pure LPL style. Sometimes I don't even understand why they fight."
Little Peanut saw the flaw in IG, shook his head and said.
SKT head coach, Kuma also records various data in a small book, "Currently, this team is relatively weak in operations and does not know how to reasonably expand its advantages. SSG is more restrained in this aspect. You can consider SSG going to IG in the future."
"They can't find any flaws in us." Brother Crown said confidently after hearing this.
At the moment, this team seems to be easier to deal with than EDG.
The LCK is not under much pressure, and the LMS is also making a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of the two teams on the field.
The battle in the canyon was very fierce, with both sides fighting back and forth.
Because of the frequent headshots on the field, the enthusiasm of the audience was actively mobilized, and the crowd gave warm cheers. In the end, the game lasted for 41 minutes before it came to an end.
IG wins.
“IG is awesome!”
"Come on for me!!"
"Do it, do it!"
"This is how we should fight, LCK fourth seed? That's it?"
"Ah Shui, you are the best, mommy loves you!"
"..."
The LPL audience at the scene was overjoyed and excitedly cheered for IG.
On the Internet, anti-bars are filled with overwhelming controversy.
"This is how IG plays, why should I replace EDG?"
"The best MVP in the LCK played 41 minutes. If Mingkai had come, he would have killed them all!"
"I really don't see how IG is better than EDG."
"Pull him down, EDG will probably be crushed by MVP when he comes here."
"Who in the LCK won't beat you EDG?"
"It sounds like EDG's average time per game is less than 25 minutes like Orange God. In the summer split, the average of EDG's three games against IG was 39 minutes? Are you sorry?"
"Did you just say that EDG beat IG 2:1?"
"Isn't 39 minutes better than 41 minutes?"
"..."
Many fans took to the Internet to fight for their home team's injustice.
…
LPL lounge.
"Nice job!!"
"Strong, brothers, the LCK is probably going to be very tricky right now."
"The flash counter attack at the end was really cool, with extreme reflexes. At 17 years old, he is awesome in terms of reflexes and hand speed!"
When everyone at IG returned to the room with glowing faces, they were naturally greeted by the admiration of the players from each team.
After all, IG participated in such an international competition for the first time and defeated the MVP right away. At least the players' status was not affected much compared to the summer split, so it is naturally worthy of recognition.
"There were several waves of opportunities in the mid-term, but I didn't dare to take them. It was the first time I played in such a competition, and my hands were shaking." Ah Shui said modestly, but the words he said were a bit strange.
What does it mean that there were several waves of opportunities in the mid-term, but you didn’t dare to take advantage of them?
You are an ADC, do you need to start a group?
However, everyone couldn't help but laugh when they recalled the scenes of Ah Shui falling down again and again during the game.
IG won the team battle, but ADC never survived the wave.
This kid is not afraid of death, dares to betray himself, and has a more aggressive style of play.
"MVP is nothing but water. I really hope to compete with SKT. There are no opponents in this intercontinental competition. It's 1V1 in the jungle. I'm not afraid of anyone." King Ning said coquettishly and arrogantly.
"What did Chengzi say? Brother, why don't you take on the blind monk? Kick a kid!"
He walked up to Su Cheng and said as if to show off.
Everyone turned to look at Su Cheng and wanted to know Su Cheng's evaluation. Especially when they were competing on the contestant stage, Chris and Manager Su, whose relationship with Su Cheng had eased slightly, were also curious about this person with expectant faces. view.
"Okay."
"Being an MVP is barely enough, but when it comes to the other three teams in the LCK, it won't be easy if you don't make some adjustments." Su Cheng said with a smile, "Don't be too crazy, kid. If I really want you to fight a little peanut, he can beat you." Come back."
"What the hell? That's what you said..." King Ning was dissatisfied and was about to refute.
"If you are really not afraid, you won't be timid in fighting. Operations are not your strong point. There is no need to compete with LCK in operations. The style of LPL is to fight. Just perform in the areas you are good at. If you force yourself to operate the economy , On the contrary, it will make the LCK very comfortable. This is their rhythm, and we will not be comfortable in the competition."
Hearing Su Cheng's sharp comment.
IG coach, mafa also agreed, giving a thumbs up and said: "That's right."
"That's right, we can't be afraid when facing LCK teams. If we keep fighting, just by looking at the lineup and operations, the outcome will be 50 or 50, and they will be afraid too." WE head coach Hongmi also said with approval.
The other players all nodded.
Next.
The game continues.
SSG vs. WE.
This BO1 has attracted a lot of attention. Before the game has even started, various predictions have already appeared from the outside world.
Many LPL e-sports media believe that SSG's winning chance is higher than 70%.
Before the head coach Hongmi took the stage, he was already determining tactics and explaining some precautions to his players. In this regard, everyone in each team remained silent.
After a while, WE left.
"Chengzi, what do you say about this?" Zhi Zhi picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and asked Su Cheng.
SoFm, Holy Spear Brother and other teammates also looked over.
"It's hard to say, it depends on the situation. If WE takes the initiative to fight, the chance of winning is very high, but if Samsung does a good job of avoiding the fight, Ruler will take over the game in 30 minutes. He is too stable."
Su Cheng didn't know what the outcome would be.
During this time, he also revealed some tactics and details to his brothers who were competing in the intercontinental competition together.
What needs to be said has been said, but the details still have to be decided by people.
34 minutes later.
The lounge fell into silence, and all LPL players were silent.
In the 34th minute, WE's base exploded, and SSG was 8,000 ahead. They steadily completed the push. The head ratio between the two sides was 12:4, which was a huge disparity.
This result caused a lot of criticism from the outside world, and countless "embarrassing" comments filled the live broadcast room.
Even the general manager of WE was speechless.
They were hailed as the strongest dark horse in the Spring Split, but were overtaken by Snake in a corner and crushed in the finals. In the Summer Split, they carried their dreams and made a comeback. They made adjustments to their tactics. The relevant lineup selection was also expanded in many aspects under the guidance of Redmi. It stands to reason that they should be a level better than they were in the spring split.
As a result, no one expected that the first round of the intercontinental competition would suffer such a defeat.
【What did you hit? 】
[Go home and raise pigs quickly, WE shouldn’t come. 】
【Not as good as EDG! 】
[Let EDG fight, Mingkai may have gone crazy by now. 】
[Can’t you understand how strong Samsung’s status is? Let you 7-chan come, I guess it’s already 4396 by now! 】
【? ? ? 】
online.
Full of controversial voices.
…
When WE were in the corridor, they were already arguing.
"I told you that the bot lane can't come. You have to let me come. The mid laner on the opposite side has TP. How can I come?" Kandi's tone was irritable, and his complaining voice reached the ears of everyone in the room.
Xiye was also very upset, "I also have a T, why can't I go? We have four guarantees of two. Even if their mid laner is the back T, we can kill everyone first and pull away."
"Then the problem is, I came, and then I failed to jump the tower, and I was killed by everyone. What do you say when the jungler on the opposite side counter-crouched?" Kandi shouted fiercely.
Xiye felt that 957 also had a problem, "The main thing is that the wave on the road was also weird. I told you that the jungler is coming. Brother Leg, why don't you step back."
"The opponent is trying to develop and hit the late stage, so just fight them. Nothing will happen to us if we don't do anything. If you insist on coming to the bottom lane to take action, the mid-term rhythm will collapse." Ben was also dissatisfied with the midfielder.
When the five people entered the door, they were still arguing.
When they saw everyone looking at them, they all stopped talking.
Hongmi's face was very cold, "This is not the level of our league, we shouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation."
WE, everyone, returned from the defeat, so they went to the next cubicle to discuss adjustments.
In the hall, the players are also discussing among themselves.
"It was indeed a terrible loss." Letme felt regretful.
WE in the league are very powerful, and they even crushed RNG 3:1 in the spring split. Now in the intercontinental competition, they were directly crushed by SSG throughout the intercontinental competition, and they were crushed in 34 minutes.
Compared with this length of time, Samsung’s first game against JT today ended in 53 minutes.
It's really a bit embarrassing.
On the Internet, there have been many voices saying that WE is not as good as JT, and the gangsters are becoming more and more active, spreading such remarks in Hupu and Kangba.
"Kangdi wants to do things too much. Sometimes you can't be in a hurry. If you are in a hurry, something will happen easily." Xiao Ming is very sensible. He saw the reason why WE failed in the last game.
Of course, it is impossible for the coaching staff at WE not to discover these one-sided things.
It is estimated that the post-match review is already being conducted.
"WE is in bad shape."
Snake here.
Posture and Gangzi are also discussing with Su Cheng.
"It's a bit bad." Su Cheng felt that something was starting to go wrong.
If WE cannot adjust, the subsequent BO5 relay matches will be in trouble.
He replaced EDG and let his old team IG go online, but there is another WE that makes people worry. To be honest, the competition system of the intercontinental competition is a bit self-centered. It is useless if he can play, and only the brothers can play can win BO5.
If the three teams that come together do not perform well in the follow-up BO5, there will be the same embarrassing situation as when the four teammates in the ranked team all vote "yes".
In the next BO1, it was IG's turn to face M17, the third team in the LMS division.
There is no suspense in this game from the outside.
No one thinks that the third team in the LMS division can defeat IG. After all, M17's strength is not on the same level as the LCK MVP, but IG even won the MVP.
On the contrary, many LPL spectators at the scene were still brooding over WE's disastrous defeat in the previous game after the game started.
So do many netizens.
This game ended quickly. All members of IG woke up. King Ning was heartless and thought he was the best in the world. On the contrary, his mentality was surprisingly effective when he was abusing food. Normal people would see a team of brothers. Because the jungler wanted to do something, but the whole team had a big problem and lost the game, he would feel a little scared.
But in the game, King Ning was not afraid, the blind monk was banned, and the prince in one hand did things crazy.
Grab from the middle to the top, grab from the top to the bottom.
Working on things the whole time!
finally.
32 minutes, captured the M17!
"Awesome!"
"IG is really up to date today. I declare that the misunderstanding is resolved. It is your IG's turn to get the spot for the fourth seed."
"The Orange God has put an end to the past and proposed that his old club compete in the intercontinental competition together. Who can resist this kind of ambition?"
"32 minutes, the incense burner version is already fast. It's really cool to watch the whole process."
"Ning is definitely a good prospect, and Ah Shui is the most daring ADC I have ever seen!"
"Take it down, you're in trouble with the M17. Do you have the ability to kill Samsung?"
"M17 hot chicken team, 4396 is really strong!"
"???"
