what the hell

Chapter 492 The Eastern Demon King Advances to the Knockout
May 5th and 8th.

The final two rounds of the qualifying rounds began.

Vietnam EVS played against Flash Wolves FW, who was lowered by half due to poor performance in the World Championship and needed a round of BO5 selection.

Turkish SUP played against the PGM that had a good life...that is, the RPG after the name change.

The Vietnamese big brothers fought extremely fiercely.

Worthy of the title of bandit.

But in terms of facts, as a former wild card division, even though the strength of Vietnamese players has grown a lot in recent years, there is still a significant gap compared with the five major leagues.

Sent back by FW with a 3-1 record.

Turkish SUP and Little Days PGM are really crazy fights.

Because the mid laners and support of these two teams are Korean aids.

The top laner, jungler, and AD are locals.

During the game, the mid laner of the Korean aid was crazy about Carry, and the support of the Korean aid was fighting for vision.

Other positions have carried out fancy head-sending operations.

Eye squatting people?

That's all pediatrics!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the jungler Xiaori demonstrated the fairy behavior of scanning and shopping, turning a blind eye to two eye positions in the grass, allowing the audience to relive the classic scene of e-sports without eyesight.

But the Turkish player played even more outrageously. The AD position had three big mouths, and almost every wave of team battles played explosive output.

finally.

PGM took away Turkey SUP with a score of 3-2 and got the last ticket for the group stage.

5 month 11 day.

The group stage has officially started.

Compared with the S series, the rules of the MSI mid-season championship are simple and rough.

The six teams will perform double rounds in the same group, and the top four will advance.

The difference from before is that this year an 'ordering' link has been added.

The specific rule is that the first player in the group can choose one of the third and fourth opponents as the knockout opponent.

The second place in the group will not be selected, but it can only be played against the remaining team that was selected by the first place. The difficulty and risk will be relatively higher.

The two stronger teams clearly want to compete for this privilege.

The two weak teams need to perform well to avoid being picked by the first-ranked team.

This rule, to a large extent, avoided the occasional bad performances that occurred in previous MSIs, and improved the intensity of the competition to a certain extent.

5 pm.

An aerial view of Berlin is shown on the big screen.

Immediately transitioned to the promotional video mixed with contestants and exciting shots.

Among them, there is the LPL champion EDG who has upgraded from the Civil War Fantasy God to the World Championship Fantasy God.

There was a sudden emergence last summer, but it was a pity that it failed. This year, it will fight for the LCK champion KZ again for honor.

The gold content of winning the championship has always been questioned, and I look forward to proving the strength of the LCS.EU champion FNC.

There was LCS.NA champion TL who had been silent for a long time and wanted to make a big splash.

There is the LMS champion FW against Han Qixia.

And... the absolute overlord of Little Days Island, the LJL champion PGM.

The short film made by combining several pictures of all the teams winning the championship in the competition area, it feels a bit shoddy no matter how you look at it.

Fortunately, as the official studio of the LCS, the interior is not bad.

On the walls of the venue, there are LCD monitors that can be queried for information. On the edge of the stage, there are giant sculptures of Baron Nash, as well as an exhibition wall composed of various figures, medals, team uniforms and peripherals of star players, which saved the impression. Not a lot.

"Good afternoon, all summoner friends!"

"Welcome to the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship, I am Wang Duoduo!"

"I'm Kris!"

At the Chinese commentary station, Wang Duoduo, who has a solid foundation in lines, appeared in front of the camera with a newcomer.

"We will broadcast live for you from the LCS studio in Berlin. Today is the first day of the group stage. EDG has two games to play."

"The first game is the opening match with FNC."

"Game 10 at [-] p.m. against PGM from LJL."

Wang Duoduo recited this set fluently without even reading the inscription card: "I think these two games are worth watching. FNC represents the highest level in Europe, and LJL has the strength of the top four in Asia. .”

"God damn the top four in Asia..."

"LPL, LCK, LMS plus the small days, these are the four divisions."

"That's MSI, only champions can play. Wait for the intercontinental competition, and there will be more teams that can beat them."

"Small knowledge: LJL does not belong to the Asian division, and is going to play in the Pacific Rim."

"Fuck, that's too boring!"

"Cherish it, this may be the last time you see the little days this year."

The bullet screen was brushed layer by layer.

on the main stage.

Following the host's introduction, the contestants walked out of the prismatic passage one by one, waved to the audience, and then entered the allocated seats.

FNC is at home, and the first game starts from the blue side.

Banning Daomei, Sword Demon, and Aoun at the beginning gave Xing Dao enough respect.

EDG's handling method is simple and straightforward, banning Syndra and Kassadin, two mid laners who have been enhanced in version 8.9, and the last place is to choose Zoe, who has been used the most by Caps in the Spring Split.

"Ban mid laner?"

"No effect on Caps!"

On the English commentary stand, Vedius was very confident: "Compared to those players who know how deep their hero pool is, Caps is truly unfathomable."

"Caps used a total of 13 heroes in the Spring Split, and 9 of them had a 100% win rate."

"The remaining four have winning percentages of 50%, 66.7%, 75%, and 75% respectively."

"It's unrealistic to limit Caps through Ban people!"

"But Syndra, Kassadin, and Zoe are indeed heroes that are relatively difficult to deal with." Maomao's view is relatively neutral: "Now there is an interesting thing, that is, FNC has released General's Yasuo."

The voice just fell.

Shouts of exclamation sounded from the auditorium.

The reason is...the first floor of FNC snatched Yasuo without hesitation.

"Oh!"

"Caps wants to use Yasuo?!"

"It's too risky..."

"It's right to take risks against a strong team like EDG. If you don't have the courage, you have absolutely no chance to win."

"Trust Caps, trust FNC."

"..."

The European audience at home started discussing one after another.

FNC's follow-up choices are also very hard. The top laner position is Sion, the jungle troll, and the bottom lane Verus+Bron, which is strong enough and has sufficient control.

After some discussions, EDG gave up the idea of ​​letting the posture take the robbery.

After all, the posture in the heyday of the spring and autumn period may not be as good as Caps today, and it is definitely not shameful to avoid the edge for the time being at the stage of old age.

In the end, the lineup was a combination of top laner Murloc, jungler Scorpion, mid laner Crow, and bottom laner Kashatam.

Maokai walked to the center of the field, shook hands with the FNC coach and left the field, and the monitor in front of the players jumped to the loading interface.

Soon, ten heroes entered Summoner's Rift.

At 1 minute and 05 seconds, the whole army attacked.

When the little soldiers came to the forefront, wielding swords, shields, and staffs to fight each other, an expected picture appeared.

——The little murloc who is positioned as the top laner, with the talent of electrocution and the two summoner skills of flash + ignite, came to the middle lane with a trident in hand, and looked at Caps' Yasuo from a distance!
