Chapter 458 faker?short board?
The actual controllers behind the Thorn Bird are the two big Buddhas, Ed Zhu and the principal, so the treatment and funds during the expedition are naturally quite good.

In order to avoid encountering a series of problems such as network, diet, and daily life during the MSI event, the temporary base of the Thorn Bird has been arranged as early as when the Thorn Bird entered the finals.

Even though there are only a few days of competition time in Vietnam, the various measures of the temporary training residence are not much better than those of domestic clubs. The whole thing highlights the rich and the poor.

The play-in round was held in Ho Chi Minh City, while the group stage was held at the Vietnam National Convention Center in Hanoi.

The itinerary of the Thorn Birds has been arranged well. Two days before the finalists, the club has already booked a hotel near the GG stadium, so that the players can relax first. After all, the Thorn Birds have not let them go since the spring finals. Fake.

The purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity of arriving in Vietnam early to adapt and then give the vacation together.

The players, including Li Luo, were quite satisfied with the club's arrangements.

People, most of them like novelty.

Usually everyone is used to staying in Shanghai, and they don’t know where to go when they are on vacation, and they will become lazy after staying at home for a long time, and they don’t even want to go out without a girlfriend. In the end, they found out that the club was on vacation, but they still stayed at home. Play games at the base.

Now that Vietnam is different, at least everything around is more novel.

After the Thorn Bird players arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, they went out for a walk under the guidance of the tour guide hired by the club. It was not until the evening when the finalists began that the Thorn Bird players came back together.

After Zhu Kai saw the players coming back, he waved a stack of tickets in his hand: "Do you want to go to the scene to watch the game? The club will reimburse you."

"I don't want to move, I'm exhausted this afternoon."

Xiangguo slumped on the gaming chair like a puddle of mud, and those who didn't know thought he had gone to some extraordinary place.

"Young people should look like young people. Besides, all the clubs buy are infield tickets, which are very expensive. If you don't go to see them, it's a waste."

Zhu Kai smiled and continued his lobbying.

"How much is a piece?"

Holy Gun was curious.

Zhu Kai reached out and made a gesture of the cross: "10 yuan, a full 10 yuan, we can watch all the games that day."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, but after a brief circling of their brains, even Malphite himself mlxg raised his hand in disdain.

They just went shopping in the afternoon, and they have a certain understanding of Vietnamese currency.

Zhu Kai said so bluffing, what a total of 10 yuan.

In general, [-] Vietnamese dong is only equivalent to more than [-] soft sister coins.

At this moment, Xiye seemed to think of something as she wrung her fingers: "I seem to have seen it before. The front row ticket for the group stage is 20 VND, so if you calculate it like this, it's only more than 50 yuan?"

This low ticket price made all the Thorn Bird players look at each other in dismay.

After thinking about it, everyone decided to go to the scene to see it.

The reason why I booked a two-day hotel in Ho Chi Minh City is, on the one hand, to allow the players to take two days off and relax.

On the other hand, it is to feel the atmosphere of the League of Legends game in Vietnam, and at the same time observe the level of the finalists.

Three teams will compete in the play-in round to enter the group stage.

There are only three teams that do not need to play in the finals, the Thorn Birds from the LPL, SKT from the LCK, and G2 from the EU European Division.

In other words, even the champion of the North American LCS Spring Split this year, or the Flash Wolves, who were once World Championship regulars, are going to play in the finals.

Thorn Bird's primary concern is also these once brilliant teams.

Although there are few participating teams in MSI, all of them who can enter here are the best in their respective divisions.

Although the gold content of this event is not as high as that of the World Finals, the threshold is higher than that of the World Finals. After all, only one team can be produced in a competition area.

The Thorn Birds stayed in Ho Chi Minh City for four days.

It wasn't until the end of the finalists that the Thornbirds went to the temporary base in Hanoi and started training before the competition.

总的来说荆棘鸟的时间还是比较充裕的，5月4日入围赛小组赛结束，5月7日入围赛淘汰赛，5月10日才是小组赛的第一天。

According to the schedule, Thorn Bird will play in the third small field on the first day of the group stage.

The opposing team will be one of three teams to emerge from the Play-Ins.

At present, two teams have emerged from the finalists, namely Flash Wolves and TL.

Lightning Wolves are stable abusers.

TL is not far behind.

In Li Luo's view, Vietnam's PVB team has a good chance of winning in the knockout round.

As Li Luo expected, Vietnam played brilliantly in the BO5, beating the opponent 3-0 and advancing to the group stage.

There are no groups in the group stage, and each team will play against other teams twice, which means that each team will play 10 BO1.

The first match of the group stage of this MSI event was the former dynasty SKT team against G2 from Europe.

Although it was a BO1, this game undoubtedly cheered up all members of the Thorn Bird team.

If the Thorn Birds are asked to give a ranking of the teams they are concerned about, then the top two are undoubtedly SKT and G2.

In Li Luo's impression, in this BO1 where SKT intends to prove that they have broken through the trough, SKT lost to G2.

And it also made Ah P a big hit.

But this moment, that moment.

When they transferred at the beginning of the year, when Bang and Wolf chose to stay with the team for another year instead of going to North America, Li Luo had a faint realization that this adc who had won the World Championship for two times was in the After two years of silence, he has the ambition to hit the championship again.

The trajectory of human destiny is actually very strange.

One decision can lead to a reversal of a person's life.

Li Luo didn't know if it was because of his appearance that Bang gave up the idea of ​​going to North America, but since Bang dared to make such a choice, Li Luo would undoubtedly look up to him.

And the facts have also proved that bang's state has remained quite stable, and SKT's current team can indeed create a good room for bang to play.

It is different from Li Luo's impression of the SKT lineup during the S9 season before the rebirth.

At that time, SKT introduced Teddy, who was once the captain of the aircraft team, and he and Mata formed a two-player partner.

But since S4, mata's performance in world events has been quite controversial.

In the match against G2 at that time, Teddy also exposed his side as a soft-legged shrimp in the competition.

Bang is different.

His mentality is doomed that when facing big competitions, bang's performance will not fluctuate too much.

And bang's experience in world events is too stable.

MSI champion?
He has already taken it.

Faced with the various G2 mocking on Twitter before the game, SKT obviously had a little anger in their hearts.

However, it has to be mentioned that the G2 team has always maintained their brave style in terms of player selection.

With Jayce and the top-field combination of Spider, the European teams dare to directly choose SKT, the strongest player in the LCK.

This "even if I lose, I have to lose standing" attitude is extremely popular in League of Legends circles all over the world.

SKT chose their favorite lineup in the league, using faker's mid laner Tsar to cover the bottom line, and selected the signature hero blind monk for clid, while the top laner Khan chose the crocodile, trying to win against the opponent. The line period in turn put pressure on Jess.

In terms of support, the bull head was selected for wolf, and Ezreal of bang was used to go down the road.

If this lineup is in the LPL competition area, it will inevitably be criticized by countless netizens.

The combination of bull head and Ezreal is too abstract.

Especially when it's against Xialuo.

However, the SKT team's bang Zreal once again showed the charm of Zreal in the LCK division.

Both sides were developing steadily at the beginning, but when the game time came to 10 minutes, clid's blind monk made a wonderful wave, adjusted his angle with a blink of an eye, and kicked Luo back.

His kick was extremely refined. After the angle was adjusted, there was Xia's trajectory on the only way Luo was kicked.

Ah P's reaction speed is very fast, and he immediately followed up with the big move, but when he was hooked, he was evaded by the bang's Ezreal. Control, followed up with a backhand and a wave of WQ flashed forward to reach Ah P first, and cooperated with the blind monk to quickly kill Xia.

Ryze of caps tried to drive to support, but was interrupted by faker's big move, but caps backhanded a czar, and the jungler spider arrived in time, forcing faker to flash.

SKT took out Xiaolong with this wave of kills in the bottom lane.

However, the 2-0 head ratio lasted until 15 minutes before it was broken.

On the top lane, wunder had a chance to solo kill. After consuming enough HP of the crocodile, wunder attacked under the tower. However, khan proved to the whole world that as long as it is not the final, you can trust Khan at other times.

Faced with Jess's Q skill in melee form, the crocodile flashed backwards to avoid the damage of the hammer, and then backhanded W to bite Jess.

Jess with W in the combo was controlled by the defense tower and the crocodile to complete the counter-kill when Waoe's damage in the hammer form affected the crocodile.

After killing Jess once, Khan's crocodile was suddenly out of control. After a wave of gank from the blind monk killed Jess again, the canyon pioneer hit again and exploded on the road.

With a huge enough advantage, the unreasonable Khan pushed the crocodile under the second tower. At this time, an embarrassing situation appeared. The spider came to cooperate with Jess to catch the fleshy, explosive and tall crocodile.

Ruiz drove over to catch him, but Khan made a feint and escaped with two E-connected flashes in a row.

Since then, although G2 has also successfully counterattacked, SKT has always kept G2's resource replacement at a loss by virtue of its sophisticated operations.

When the game time came to 33 minutes, G2, who had a financial deficit of 2, fought a desperate wave, but was played two for four by SKT. G[-], who was left with only ad defending home, was powerless and was flattened by SKT. SKT won the first victory.

Everyone looked at the Thorn Bird very seriously.

Although there were only twelve explosions in the audience, it is undeniable that from a professional point of view, the quality of this match was very high.

"The operation of SKT is as usual... No, it should be said that it is better than the previous two years. Clid's blind man still has something to say."

Xiangguo stared at the screen with great interest.

From the perspective of the whimsy of the clid in the bottom lane, Xiangguo was very interested in the clid when he started the game.

Although clid played in LPL before, and the two sides also played against each other, but after going to SKT, clid has obviously improved again.

"I just don't know if his blind ban rhythm is still so good."

Liu Qingsong said with a half smile.

Clid's blind man is notorious.

He also doesn't quite understand why G2 has so many ban positions for Khan when facing SKT, but is unwilling to allocate one for clid.

"To be fair, this Khan is a bit fierce. I feel like he can't beat him in 1v1. His crocodile proficiency is very high, and when I watched the replay of lck, I felt that he had a lot of fierce heroes. Captain Jess is his unique skill. Oh, and weapons."

Brother Holy Gun shook his head: "It's difficult."

"The bottom lane is actually quite stable. I feel that Bang's state is much better than last year."

Liu Qingsong also said thoughtfully.

"To be honest, I didn't see anything."

When it was Xiye's turn to express his opinion, Xiye shrugged.

This is his truth.

From the perspective of a mid-level unit, Xiye felt that the performance of this faker could at most give him a passing grade.

On the contrary, caps flew around trying to bring rhythm to the team, but G2's jungler Jankos was kicked all over his head by the clid's blind man like he had drunk fake wine.

Of course, one game means nothing.

Players' mistakes are minor problems. As long as the team's overall rhythm is not chaotic, then the team's growth curve is benign.

Xiao Dongbei, who came to Vietnam as a substitute, also expressed his views.

"It feels...not very powerful."

Xiao Dongbei said straightforwardly.

After everyone finished expressing their opinions, their eyes focused on Li Luo.

The same is true for Zhu Kai.

Li Luo pondered for two seconds, then went to the whiteboard and drew a circle on faker's head.

As soon as this circle is drawn, Zhu Kai will understand.

faker.

The undisputed first core of this SKT dynasty.

It can be said that the reason why SKT is SKT is because there is a person in the SKT team called faker.

Even though theoretically speaking, the relationship between the club and the players is mutual achievement, but this man is an exception.

Just because South Korea pays enough attention to the e-sports industry, the status of faker can be imagined.

But is faker's status really good?
Every professional gamer has his down period.

Faker is no exception.

However, if Li Luo is to evaluate it, the real downturn period is actually S9 when faker's career is added up.

Not only this game, but it is not difficult to see when returning to the LCK league dominated by SKT, the current faker is more and more inclined to play the kind of big core that gives the team the bottom line in the later stage, rather than play the hero of the line. Nor is it to play rhythmic heroes.

This is actually a very unfavorable signal for the player personally.

On the surface, making him choose a big core hero is because he believes in faker's late carry ability.

In fact... Is there a possibility that at this moment, including Faker, I feel that in this version, apart from ensuring my ability to fight teams in the later stage, other aspects... are not so good?

Of course, faker at this time is far from reaching the level of the team's shortcomings, and his career status has just ushered in his own fluctuation period again.

But don't forget, how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest piece of wood.

Li Luo didn't say too much, because it was meaningless to say more at this time.

After all, the butterfly effect has already occurred, and Li Luo does not dare to guarantee 100% whether Faker is hiding or whether SKT is hiding.

What they have to do is to close the front of their eyes first.

Lightning Wolves.

old rival.

　The day after tomorrow, I will take the test for subject two, and I am still a little panicked. The driver's license is really tormenting.
