Chapter 235 Actively Choose Red, Fight SKT Again in the Group Stage!

May 14th, the fourth match day of the group stage.

Today's two games of LGD happened to be the first and the last, the first and sixth games.

The opponents in the two games were G2 and Flash Wolves respectively.

The content of the game was uneventful.

LGD played steadily and won these two group matches very steadily.

The results of several other games were also generally expected before the game.

There was only one game that resulted in an upset that exceeded most people's expectations.

That is the third game on today's schedule.

SKT lost to Flash Wolves.

After Flash Wolves defeated SKT in the group stage of last year's S6 Global Finals.

This time at MSI, Flash Wolves once again defeated SKT in the BO1 group stage.

The chance of BO1 is indeed relatively large.

SKT, which is as strong as the current team, has also failed against Flash Wolves several times in BO1 games.

Flash Wolves defeated SKT in this game.

It also ended SKT's six-game winning streak at this MSI.

Breaking SKT's undefeated streak.

Because SKT lost this game.

So, after the fourth match day of the group stage.

The group stage records of SKT and LGD both reached seven wins and one loss.

However, due to the mutual record, SKT leads LGD one to zero.

Therefore, SKT is still ranked first in the group at this moment, and LGD is ranked second in the group.

However, SKT's loss to Flash Wolves greatly increased LGD's chances of winning the first place in the group.

As long as LGD can defeat SKT in the final match of the group stage, they can directly rely on their victory advantage to beat SKT to qualify first in the group.

According to the current rules, the team that advances first in the group can select its opponent in the semifinals.

The status of the top spot in this group is still very much up for grabs.

Moreover, the schedule of this MSI is relatively tight.

The semi-finals and finals are played next to each other.

Two semi-finals and one final.

Three consecutive days, three BO5 games, and the game was finished directly.

If the first place in the group advances, the semi-finals will be in the first game.

If you can advance to the finals, you will have one day of rest in between.

The second group in the semi-finals will need to play back-to-back finals.

The potential advantage in physical strength and energy is also a major benefit of qualifying first in the group at this MSI.

So, after finishing today’s game, we returned to the hotel and had dinner.

In the temporary training room, DGC shouted to the players:

"We must defeat SKT tomorrow and win the first place in the group!"

After that, Dgc went to study SKT with the rest of the coaching staff.

He is going to give SKT some strange moves and big moves in tomorrow's game against SKT.

At the beginning, Dgc planned to save his ultimate move for the knockout rounds.

But now the chance to advance to the top spot in the group is at hand.

You only need to win a BO1 to get the many benefits of qualifying as the top player.

So even if it's just a group match after qualifying early.

It’s totally worth taking action!

The next day, May 15th.

The main stage of this MSI is the fifth match day of the group stage.

It is also the last group stage match day.

After today's six group matches, the group matches of this MSI are all over.

The current situation is that both SKT and LGD have qualified for the group stage ahead of schedule.

And the two teams will definitely be the top two in the group.

The remaining four teams all have the possibility of qualifying.

All of them have the possibility of being eliminated from the group.

The qualifying situation is very confusing.

Of course, among these four teams, G2 has the best situation in qualifying for the group stage.

G2 only needs to win one of the two group matches today.

You don't have to look at the faces of other teams at all and can securely qualify from the group.

The Vietnamese team GAM's group qualifying situation is the worst.

They need to win both games today to have a chance of qualifying from the group.

The hours flew by.

In today's schedule, the first five group matches have been played.

SKT and LGD each won one victory, and their records reached eight wins and one loss.

GAM suffered two defeats and was the first to be eliminated from this MSI Mid-Season Championship.

While G2 performed well in the first half of the group stage, their performance in the second half was very sluggish, and they lost three games in a row.

After a game of more than fifty minutes, they defeated TSM with difficulty and successfully qualified from the group.

However, G2's final group ranking depends on the playoffs between TSM and Flash Wolves.

In fact, there are three teams: G2, TSM, and Flash Wolves.

The final group points, that is, the number of wins, are the same.

TSM, which was sluggish in the first half of the group stage, finally made a comeback in the second half, catching up in the group record.

It's a pity that we didn't win the final game against G2 just now.

Otherwise, TSM will complete the counterattack and directly qualify as third in the group.

Now, whether TSM can qualify depends on the outcome of the BO1 extra match against Flash Wolves.

If the Flash Wolves win this extra round.

Then Flash Wolves will qualify third in the group, and G2 will qualify fourth in the group.

TSM was eliminated as a team.

If TSM wins the playoff.

Then G2 will qualify third in the group, and TSM will qualify fourth in the group.

The Flash Wolves team was eliminated.

Of course, before this playoff begins.

In the regular group stage of this MSI, there is still the last BO1 game left to play.

That is the battle between SKT and LGD for the top spot in the group.

In this BO1 game, whoever wins the two teams will qualify first in the group.

I have to say that Riot Games’ official schedule is very bold.

The second group stage match between SKT and LGD was specially arranged to be the last game of the group stage.

This arrangement is actually quite dangerous.

Because of the ten-round group stage like this.

Because there are so many rounds, the final ranking of the group is often determined by the last round.

Not to mention the last one, most of them are entertainment battles after the rankings have been determined.

I won’t fight seriously at all.

In such a heavyweight final battle, if both sides have no fighting spirit, it will greatly affect the ratings and the enjoyment of the game.

But in this wave, I have to say that Riot Games’ bold schedule has achieved the greatest results.

Coincidentally, the two warring parties in this final battle of the group stage.

This game will be used to compete for the top spot in the final group.

There is no doubt that both sides are full of fighting spirit.

There is also no doubt that this game will be the highest-rated game in the entire MSI so far.

"Okay, dear viewers, welcome back to our MSI group stage match!"

In the LPL official live broadcast room.

The familiar voice of the doll came out.

Today there is a heavyweight match between LGD and SKT in the "battle for the top spot in the group".

Therefore, for the next three group matches, the LPL official side naturally arranged for the two brothers to serve as on-site commentators.

These two heavyweight matches in the LPL are basically narrated by the two of them.

"What is about to begin is our last group match of this MSI Mid-Season Championship!" Wawa continued.

"Where is the last group match?" Miller asked, "There will be a playoff between Flash Wolves and TSM soon!"

"That one doesn't count!"

Without further argument on this topic, Wawa continued:

"The upcoming BO1 match between LGD and SKT will determine which of the two teams can qualify as the group leader."

"The importance of this game is self-evident!"

At this time in the LPL official live broadcast room.

BP has not started yet.

Just during the commentary and chat stage, the barrage in the live broadcast room was already densely packed.

The popularity of the live broadcast room has also reached a new high since the start of the group stage in the past few days.

Compared with the previous LPL spring finals, the popularity is not lower at all.

After the second group match between LGD and SKT officially started.

The popularity of the LPL official live broadcast room will definitely exceed the previous spring finals.

"To be honest, I'm a little nervous!" Miller said.

"Although this is only a BO1, and LGD has already qualified early, this game is indeed too important!"

Hearing this, the doll chuckled, "Actually, I think it's not bad!"

"In this game, LGD just needs to go all out. As for the result, I don't think it's that important!"

"After all, ranking first in the group is not necessarily good. Wasn't RNG at MSI last year an example?"

As soon as Wawa said this, the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.

[Haha, RNG is inexplicably lying on its back! 】

[6, This can also open RNG! 】

[RNG: Are you polite? 】

[The baby’s vagina is real. She was licking RNG crazily a few months ago, so she won’t lick it now? 】

[Will the LPL casters be like this soon? If you, RNG, have no results now, which caster will still lick you? 】

[Forget it if you don’t lick it, there’s no need to step on RNG and expose RNG’s scars, right? 】

[That is, the rules of MSI have changed this year, and the idiot is still talking about RNG's ranking first in the MSI group last year! 】

[Oh, you can’t even tell the truth? Huang Za is really in trouble! 】

【.】

There was a lot of noise on the barrage, and of course the commentators who were on the scene could not be seen.

However, an old man like Wawa immediately realized that it might be inappropriate to mention RNG at this time.

So the topic was immediately changed.

"Miller, do you think that in this game, if LGD wants to win SKT, which path is more critical?" Wawa asked.

"As for this, I think it still depends on the performance of Zhou Shen on the road!"

Miller pushed up his glasses and continued:

"Zhou Shen has been playing more as a team these days, and some black guys actually started to hack directly!"

"However, in this kind of strong dialogue, I think Zhou Shen will definitely not let us down!"

"I boldly predict that Zhou Shen will win the MVP in this game!"

After top laner VN won the single-game MVP.

In the three games from yesterday to today, Zhou Dian always chose team-oriented top lane heroes.

Since the last round of SKT, some fan groups have been at the top of the black week.

The past two days have also become darker and more energetic.

Words such as "only know how to abuse food" and "a soft-footed shrimp in the competition" were kept on Zhou Dian's head.

In fact, there should be more viewers supporting Zhou Dian.

But as the saying goes: one rat shit can spoil the whole pot of soup!

And the battle on the Internet is often not about who has more people, but who has the loudest voice.

Those fan groups that are particularly loud will always have more advantages in the battle for public opinion.

And Miller has always had a principle.

That is, in foreign wars, he will stand on the side of the LPL team without thinking.

At this moment, he was also very tough, and directly said the word "black fan" in the commentary booth, which is not suitable for the official commentary booth.

"Miller, your point of view is similar to mine!" Wawa said with a smile, "I have a vague feeling that Zhou Shen has not fired for two days, and it is very likely that he will directly explode in this game!"

At this time, the BP interface appeared on the big screen on the scene.

"Okay, the BP has started in the last group match between LGD and SKT!"

"Let's not talk too much, let's take a look at the BP!"

"In this round, LGD, who has the right to choose the side, actively chooses the red side!"

"Wow, LGD actively chooses the red side, this is interesting!"
