Chapter 229 The Second Match Day, Facing G2!
Because this game between LGD and TSM is the sixth group match of the day, which is also the last one.
When LGD finished their post-game visit, packed up their belongings and left the competition venue.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening local time.
LGD and the others were also very hungry.
After all, they came out after lunch.
I didn't eat for such a long time, so I ate some dry food to satisfy my hunger.
Back to the hotel, after a serious dinner.
Zhou Dian and his teammates immediately threw themselves into training.
This MSI schedule is indeed quite tight.
The group stage was played for five consecutive days, six games a day, without any rest.
Each team has two group matches to play every day.
I have to rush to the venue early every day.
As for how long you have to stay at the venue before leaving, it depends on the schedule.
Like LGD, if there is a match in the sixth game, they have to stay until the end.
Under such a tight schedule, there is actually not much training time left for the players.
So, if you want to do well in this MSI.
Then don't have any other distracting thoughts.
In addition to eating and sleeping, plus the large amount of time occupied by official competitions, the rest is training.
Seize the little training time you have.
Do everything you can to improve your reaction during the game.
Sometimes, it may be just a small difference in training that determines whether your team can go further.
And on the Internet.
Many LPL viewers were disappointed with LGD's performance on the first match day.
Still quite satisfied.
After all, they had won two consecutive games, and both games were won quite easily.
Of course, in the eyes of the audience, the real test for LGD is the subsequent match against SKT.
To put it bluntly, even in the past two years of global finals, that is, the two global finals of S5 and S6.
Although the results of the LPL division are not as good as those of the European division.
But in the eyes of most LPL viewers, they still think that the teams in the European and American divisions are "European and American."
This is a deep-rooted impression formed over the years and will not change easily.
The viewers in the LPL competition area always have their eyes fixed on the LCK competition area next door.
May 12th.
The second match day of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Invitational begins.
Today there are still six group matches.
It is three o'clock in the afternoon local time in Brazil and two o'clock in the morning BJ time.
The first game begins.
The two teams facing each other are SKT and TSM.
The result was no surprise, SKT easily defeated TSM with a crushing force.
TSM suffered a three-game losing streak at the beginning.
The audience has only one comment on it - dish.
It’s a real dish!
Now, all the viewers have only one expectation for TSM, and that is when will this team get its first victory?
Then came the second game.
After a forty-minute fierce battle between Flash Wolf.
Finally, we defeated GAM from Vietnam with great difficulty.
Won their first win in this MSI.
After watching this game, many viewers also felt that this GAM really had something to offer.
The victory over TSM yesterday was no accident.
Of course, TSM will inevitably be taken out and beaten to death.
After all, in this MSI, the only team that has not won its first victory is TSM.
Some viewers even speculated maliciously:
TSM will not end their MSI journey with zero wins!
If we can't win any of the ten group matches, that would be a big joke.
Subsequently.
At four o'clock in the morning BJ time, LGD ushered in their third opponent in this MSI-the G2 team.
"Okay, viewers, welcome back!"
"We are now at the Olympic Stadium in Rio, Brazil, bringing you live commentary for the second match day of the MSI group stage!"
"What is about to begin is the game between LGD and G2!"
For the first three games today, the commentary arrangements for the LPL commentary booth are Guan Zeyuan and Qi Huan.
The effect of these two people's commentary is actually quite good.
There is a game understanding of hallucinations, but the explanation style is more hypnotic.
Guan Zeyuan is better at stirring up the atmosphere, and with him there it won't be a dull moment.
After another meal of data analysis and small talk.
The BP interface appeared on the big screen at the scene.
And in the LPL official match live broadcast room.
When the BP interface appeared, there were more barrages in the live broadcast room than in the previous two games.
Obviously, many new viewers have come to the live broadcast room at this time.
Even though it was already four o'clock in the morning.
But there are still many LPL spectators who stay up to watch the games of their own division teams.
"Okay, BP starts. G2, which has the right to choose sides, chose the blue side, and LGD is on the red side!" Guan Zeyuan said loudly.
First round of BP.
G2 banned Spider, Jace, and Sword Queen.
LGD banned Ivern, Karma, and Kennen.
"Okay, G2 banned Eimy's spider who played very well yesterday!"
"Then he also banned Jayce, who defeated TSM by himself yesterday!"
"Of course, Sword Princess also needs to be banned. No one should dare to let Zhou Shen's Sword Princess go!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
I don't know what he thought of, but when the sentence came to an end, Guan Zeyuan couldn't hold back his laughter.
Obviously, many viewers in the live broadcast room have understood and understood why Guan Zeyuan was laughing.
[Sword Girl What? Again, I didn’t hear you clearly! 】
[Speaking of chicken and not talking about sex, civilize you, me and others! 】
[If you talk about chicken, just talk about sex. Damn civilization! 】
[Guan Zeyuan, please be careful and don’t speak Tibetan words! 】
【.】
Back to the game.
It was obvious that Qi Huan didn’t notice Guan Zeyuan’s “laughing point” just now.
He said to himself: "LGD has banned Cuishen. This hero is the unique skill of G2's jungler!"
"Yes!" Guan Zeyuan nodded, "G2, a jungler Trick player, is very good at playing some weird jungle heroes with low usage rates."
As soon as he finished speaking, G2 grabbed Lulu on the first floor of the blue square.
"Oh, Lulu!"
"G2's bottom lane is most likely trying to play Lulu the Big Mouth! So what should we say here?"
"Should we give them Big Mouth Lulu to play with, or should we snatch Big Mouth away and forcibly dismantle their combination!" Guan Zeyuan said.
Hearing this, Qi Huan immediately said: "LGD probably won't grab the big mouth, there's no need!"
"Lulu, as an assistant, can be paired with other ADs without the big mouth."
"But without Lulu, the power of the selection will be reduced by half!"
At this time, LGD chose the male gun, Ashe, on the first and second floors of the red square.
"LGD really didn't choose to forcefully dismantle G2's big mouth Lulu combination!"
"I'll give you the big mouth, and I'll get two versions of the hero!"
"And the male gunner should be Eimy's best and most confident jungle hero!"
"Needless to say imp Ashe, she played very well!"
"I think LGD's first two hands are very comfortable to hold!" Qi Huan said confidently.
Immediately, G2 won the big mouth on the second and third floors of the blue square, Shen.
"Are you careful? This is a game of four guarantees and one!"
"Then the goal of G2 in this game is very clear, which is to keep the big mouth in the bottom lane and fight!"
Then, LGD chose Qinggang Shadow on the red third floor.
"Oh, Qinggangying!"
"LGD directly placed the top order on the third floor. This is quite rare. Generally, LGD waits until the second round to get heroes for Zhou Shen!" Guan Zeyuan said.
"I'm probably afraid that Qinggang Shadow will be banned by G2 in the second round and won't be able to get it!" Hallucination followed.
"It's very possible!" Guan Zeyuan nodded.
"After all, this G2 game is basically about playing four guarantees and one!"
"And the hero Qinggangying, because of the unique mechanism of his ultimate move, is very capable of restraining the 'one' among the four guarantees!"
"The selections on both sides of this game are very tit-for-tat!"
When LGD locked Qinggang Ying on the third floor of the red square.
In the G2 player bench.
His AD player Zven couldn't help but frown.
Zven is a "browless hero" who is born with few eyebrows and light eyebrows.
This frown looked a little strange.
G2 does intend to ban Qinggangying in the second round.
Unexpectedly, LGD saw through it and directly selected Qinggang Ying in the first round.
Doesn't it mean that when LGD is on the red side, they will definitely leave the counter position on the fifth floor to the top order!
Why didn't you follow the routine today?
G2 has overlooked something here.
That is, when LGD is on the red side, Zhou Dian basically plays the top lane hero to counter the opponent.
Playing the top laner on the fifth floor on the red side only ensures that the hero will be played later than the opponent's top laner.
However, Zhou Dian does not necessarily have to go out on the fifth floor.
As long as you can place an order later, that's fine.
Moreover, Zhou Dian does not necessarily have to counter the enemy's top laner.
Zhou Dian did not do it once or twice to suppress his opponent in counterattack.
In this game, since G2 has already played the top laner Shen first.
Considering that G2 might ban Qinggang Shadow in the second round, Dgc also quickly captured Qinggang Shadow on the third floor.
Yes, this Qinggang Shadow is not what Zhou Dian wants to play with.
It's what Dgc wants him to play.
Qinggang Shadow, which has been weakened many times, is not easy to be cautious in the lane.
Selected, of course, to target bigmouths.
However, Dgc has absolute confidence in Zhou Dian.
"Is there no problem with lane Shen?" Dgc walked behind Zhou Dian's seat and asked.
"Fight as you like!" Zhou Dian said calmly.
Hearing this, Dgc nodded calmly.
With Zhou Dian's words, he felt relieved.
If Xiao Zhou says you can fight casually, then you must fight casually!
Dgc has an almost blind trust in Zhou Dian.
With Qinggang Shadow being selected, the first round of BP has come to an end.
Come to the second round of BP.
LGD banned Mantis and Lion Dog.
G2 banned Zyra and Thresh.
"Hey, LGD just kept doing nothing and banned all the Mantis Lion Dogs in the second round!"
After LGD snatched away the male gun, both sides banned four more junglers.
For G2's jungler, there is no jungler to choose from.
"In that case, it seems that G2 can only choose Lee Sin as jungler!" Zhihuan said.
"I don't think so!" Guan Zeyuan shook his head, "Trick, the player, usually doesn't play Lee Sin in the LEC league!"
"Is there a jungler who doesn't play Lee Sin?" Zhihuan was a little surprised.
"Then I'm looking forward to what jungle hero he will choose in this game!"
In the second round of selection, the red side will choose first.
LGD chose Malzahar on the fourth floor of the red side.
"Malzahar!"
"It should be the support!"
"It's useless for G2 to ban two supports in the second round. The benefits of chasing supports and banning are very low!" Zhihuan said.
"Now it depends on what jungler G2 will choose. There are really no jungle heroes to play!"
However, LGD just locked Malzahar.
G2 immediately lit up Nunu on the fourth floor of the blue side.
Obviously, G2's jungler had already decided which hero to use in this game.
