Chapter 379 Schedule

The first day of the group stage ended with two domestic victories.

On the first day of the schedule, the domestic teams NRG and IF were the first and last games respectively. They played against European and North American teams respectively, and did not play against Korean teams.

After a day of competition, there were also several teams and several star players who left a deep impression on the audience.

NRG's mid-jungle combo and Silver.

IF's mid laner Hu Jing Sene and ADC player Luo Yongchang Roy.

Frost, the mid laner of the South Korean team SOT.

Muffy, the support player of the Korean team MAD (MadDemon).

Pure, the mid laner of the European team VSG().

ADC player Turke of North American team WBG (WildBeast Gaming).

At the current stage, the professional team of "League of Legends" still relies heavily on the personal strength of star players. Although they will also grab strong heroes, their understanding of heroes, routines, and techniques and tactics has not reached that level.

When the audience watched the game, they were all staring at the bright players and their signature heroes. Anyway, they cheered as long as there was a kill, and they couldn't see too many tactical intentions and details.

The schedule for the first round of the group stage basically gave teams from all regions a chance to make an appearance, and all the matches were BO1, and each team played one game a day and it was over.

After the first round, each team in the group will play a game against the other three teams. Generally speaking, if they get 2 wins, the situation of qualifying is more optimistic.

In the second round of the group stage, the four-day schedule is to finish a group every day, and directly decide whether the teams in this group will stay or stay. This stage is very tense and cruel.

At the end of the first day of the game, although the two domestic teams NRG and IF both won, but the domestic team became nervous, because after seeing the performance of other teams, they found that these teams are not weak at all!

Several old and strong teams in Europe and the United States performed better than expected, not the rookie chickens in everyone's impression, and the Korean team has improved significantly, and even feels much stronger than the European and American teams!

In fact, domestic teams often have training matches with Korean teams before, which is a kind of e-sports tradition.

It has continued from the previous RTS games and FPS games. After all, cross-competition training can challenge opponents with completely different styles, which is beneficial to each other.

However, due to the relatively late opening of the Korean server, Korean teams basically played poorly against domestic teams, and their personal skills were much different. Therefore, Hu Jing from IF had the idea of ​​despising Korean teams.

But as soon as today's game was over, the leaders of each domestic team were surprised to find that the Korean team had made very rapid progress after analyzing the performance of several strong teams!

The two Korean team games played today are also against Europe and the United States. One is the solo show of SOT's mid laner Frost, and the clockwork devil kills the audience; Established a great advantage for the team in the mid-term.

This is quite different from the previous performance of the Korean team in the training game.

The leaders of each team also began to pay attention to them, and they studied several powerful enemies, especially MG and Ntlub, who were grouped with the two Korean teams E-motus and MAD. They even collected data overnight and analyzed the two Korean teams. 's play.

Judging from the results on the first day, both China and South Korea performed well, while the European and American teams performed poorly, except for veteran teams like VSG and WBG.

Of course, this is also related to the grouping. There are strong teams and weak teams in each division. Today, it just happened that the strong teams from China and South Korea collided with the weak teams from Europe and the United States, so there is no suspense to win.

If the next game is a strong duel, it is hard to say what the result will be.

At present, the strength of each division is basically not much different from what Chen Mo estimated.

Overall, there is no doubt that the domestic team is the strongest. Because the "League of Legends" in the national service has been online for several months in the morning, and the player base is also large, in the process of the master duel, the domestic high-segment players have made rapid progress.

If the foreign server players come to play in the national server, it will be obvious that the rhythm of the national server king segment is faster than that of the foreign server, and the player's operation is also better.

Moreover, at this stage, the environment of the domestic e-sports circle is relatively clean, hot money has not poured in, and the minds of e-sports players are still relatively simple. These are a group of players with e-sports dreams, although there is no particularly strict management system, but they generally work hard, so it is normal for them to be ahead temporarily.

In terms of individual strength and teamwork, several domestic teams are significantly better than other regions.

The European and Korean competitions have similar standards, but with different styles. Korea is more inclined to mid-term rhythm and teamwork, while Europe is more inclined to development and teamfights.

The e-sports heritage of these two divisions is relatively deep. Many professional players of "League of Legends" have transformed from other projects, both in terms of response and operation are very good, coupled with good team management and a lot of training. , so progress is very fast.

As for North America, only a few old and strong teams can play against the three divisions of China, South Korea and Europe.

This situation is also the same as Chen Mo expected.

In fact, in Chen Mo's previous life, the S2 period can be said to be an era of rising. South Korea has AZF and NajinSword, Europe has M5 and CLG.eu, China has WE and IG, and the champion TPA. In fact, one of several top teams The gap between them is not that big, but more of a difference in concepts, tactics, and on-the-spot performance.

In the parallel world, the same is true. It is still in the development period of "League of Legends", and the strong teams in various regions are still in the groping stage. There is no regional league, so there is no dominant competition region.

The national server was launched several months earlier, and the number of players in the national server is far more than the foreign server. This is already a good start. This time the World Championship is played at home again. If they can’t beat foreign teams, then these professional players You don't have to fight anymore, just go home and sell cakes as soon as possible.

IF team training room.

Hu Jing is watching the game video of the SOT team. OT's mid laner Frost is one of the top mid laners in Korea. This match was against a North American team. He used Clockwork Magic to single-kill his opponent once online. The hidden ball was pulled to four people, and the victory was directly established.

After the first day of the game was over, the domestic teams also somewhat put aside their contempt for foreign teams and began to seriously study the styles and playing styles of these teams.

The team leader asked: "This SOT should be our most threatening opponent in the group. How do you feel about his personal skills?"

Hu Jing watched the video seriously: "It's very strong, all kinds of details are very good, the proficiency of the hero Clockwork is very high, and the game understanding is also very good."

The team leader asked, "Then, do you have confidence in this Frost?"

Hu Jing said calmly: "Don't worry, this person is very strong, but compared to Chen Mo, he is far behind."

The leader was stunned: "Really?"

Hu Jing smiled: "Frost's clockwork is also fierce on the line, and the operation is very delicate, but I should be able to handle it. Whether it's using Ice Bird or Dead Song, I'm sure that there is no disadvantage in the line. What's more, Our AD is stronger than SOT’s AD, as long as I hold on to the mid-to-late teamfights, I have a great chance of winning.”
