I don't work overtime as a professional.

Chapter 311 MSI's first battle against PVB
The shape of this faucet, I have to say that the LPL officials have done it very carefully.

The style is so important, when Gong Qingwen held it up in front of him, he could feel a compelling aura from the dragon head.

Feeling the cold feeling from the trophy, Gong Qingwen felt a little excited.

Then he lifted the trophy above his head.

Accompanied by his action, there was another burst of ear-splitting cheers in the arena.

Obviously, whether it is Gong Qingwen's personal fan or IG's team fan.

Even in the last fight, passerby fans and JDG fans who were convinced by Gong Qingwen's Delevingne.

At this moment, they are all willing to send out their cheers for Gong Qingwen's performance.

As for the audience in front of the screen, the barrage in the live broadcast room also began to be sent frantically.

"6666666! It's the MVP again, I'm idiot."

"Gongbao, Gongbao, mother's treasure! I will continue to work hard in the future, and bring back a championship for my mother at MSI!"

"Wuhu, Gong Bao is too handsome, please fencing with me quickly."

"Wow, Gong Bao looks so high-spirited, is this what a person who pursues his dreams will look like after realizing his dream?"

"Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"As an old LDL audience, IG.Y has really cultivated an incredible player for IG."

……

After these processes have been introduced, there is nothing else to say.

For the post-match interview, of course it was Gong Qingwen, who won the MVP.

However, the questions in the post-match interview sounded very routine, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

So Gong Qingwen answered with ease, and Wang Hai in the background couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Back then, Gong Qingwen had just joined IG.Y and attracted a lot of attention.

For a long time, he did not allow Gong Qingwen to go directly to the post-match interview.

Wang Hai waited abruptly until Gong Qingwen developed a certain ability to deal with interviews, and then Wang Hai allowed Gong Qingwen to participate in the interview.

There is no other reason, just to protect this extremely dazzling new star in his own eyes.

With a slight smile, the expression on Wang Hai's face became very satisfied.

Even if he had a premonition from the beginning, Gong Qingwen would not be something in the pool.

But he also didn't expect that Gong Qingwen would grow up to where he is today.

Of course, the higher Gong Qingwen stood, the happier he was.

After all, this also proves his vision, doesn't it?

……

The LPL Spring Finals will end on April 4st, and the MSI play-in match will start on May 21st.

For LPL, this schedule seems to be very tight.

But in fact, the schedule is not so tight to such an exaggerated level.

Because in fact, IG's first MSI will not officially start until May 5.

Thanks to the strength of the competition area, LPL teams do not need to participate in the MSI play-in competition.

They just have to wait for the end of the play-in round, which runs from May 5st to May 1th.

Then just participate in the group stage that officially starts on May 5.

Therefore, IG did not rush to Vietnam after the spring finals.

Instead, after studying MSI's opponents in the base for a few days, I boarded the plane to Hanoi, Vietnam.

And the opponents they have studied in the past few days only focus on two teams.

One is SKT, who re-climbed to the top in the LCK and was born again.

One is last year's IG semi-final opponent, G2.

These two teams are also generally believed by the LPL audience to be IG's biggest opponents in this MSI.

As for the other teams, of course, that doesn't mean they aren't great.

It's just that compared to SKT and G2, other teams really shouldn't let IG spend too much energy on research.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there will be no research.

It's just that compared to SKT and G2, for other teams, IG has less energy and time to study.

After all, apart from these two teams, there are still some teams worth noting.

Such as TL.

After arriving in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, IG people discovered that Vietnam is indeed much more prosperous than they imagined.

I won't talk about the specifics.

At least the appearance of Hanoi has subverted the poor impression of Vietnam on IG.

The time when everyone from IG arrived in Hanoi was at 5:4 pm on May [-]th.

It took nearly a week for them to adapt to the environment, and it was indeed enough.

……

"It's not bad here, is there anything delicious in Vietnam?"

As soon as it landed, Rookie couldn't help but speak.

Gong Qingwen glanced at Rookie's belly, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

In the IG team, the players are basically well-proportioned, and even a little too thin.

Only rookie has always maintained his slightly fat figure and his little general belly.

After rookie asked this sentence, Gong Qingwen finally understood why rookie, who kept shouting to lose weight, was still so fat.

"Yi Jin Guo, Wo Zi Dao, Vietnamese rice noodles, good time."

Theshy heard the words, but replied with some excitement.

In fact, theshy himself is looking forward to coming to Vietnam this time.

In a certain chat, theshy and Gong Qingwen said that after retiring, besides studying, he also wanted to travel around the world once.

When he came to Vietnam this time, he certainly did his homework in advance.

"Okay, okay, don't stand here and chat, I will buy you what you want to eat later."

Wang Hai waved his hand, and everyone in IG naturally followed his footsteps.

It's really inappropriate to stand at the gate of the airport all the time. Didn't you see that the people around you have already cast their gazes at them frequently?
At 10 o'clock in the evening, after the players packed up their things and took a shower to tidy themselves up.

A large group of IG, under the leadership of coach Wang Hai and team leader Aning, came to the nearest snack street to them.

Of course, apart from these people, there is another key person in the team: a translator who can speak Vietnamese.

Afterwards, under the lead of the translator, the large army ate a lot of delicacies that theshy had prepared in advance.

Vietnamese rice noodles, steamed wontons, fried wontons, grilled.

It was nearly 11:30 in the evening, and everyone on IG returned to the hotel in high spirits.

Of course, today is probably the only time that IG people can eat so relaxedly.

Having just arrived in Vietnam, Wang Hai will give them a chance to relax and adapt.

But in the following time, they will not have such a chance to relax. Most of their time will be spent training and preparing for the game.

……

The competition system of this competition is actually not complicated.

The three teams of IG, SKT, and G2 will wait directly in the group stage.

The other teams that are shortlisted for MSI will fight to the death in the finalists.

In the end, the finalists will also determine three advanced teams.

In the group stage, these six teams will play a double round-robin competition system within the group, and then the top four teams will advance from the group stage to the knockout stage.

As for the double round-robin competition system in the group, it is also easy to understand, that is, each team has to play two BO1 games against five other teams.

IG, on the first day of the group stage on May 5th, there will be two games.

In the first game, the opponent is to be determined to see who can advance from the play-in round.

The second game has already been determined to be G2.

"Why are you playing G2 again? It's been a long time since I saw you, Ah P."

Ning put his hands behind his head and muttered.

In fact, he already knew the news, but now he was queuing up in the ranks, and he was a little idle, so he would talk like this.

Of course, his impression of Ah P is really good, and Ah P's cheerful personality is indeed attractive.

"It's not theshy, why do you still eat this Vietnamese rice noodles? You can't get tired of eating, brother."

Ning didn't wait for others to answer his last topic, so he spoke again.

Theshy paused when he was chopping rice noodles, then he looked up at Ning, and said vaguely: "That's a good time."

Ning shook his head, "Okay, you continue to eat."

Hearing this, theshy continued to pull the rice noodles with his head down.

Glancing at Rookie who was eating fried wanton, Ning wisely did not speak to Rookie.

After turning his gaze for a while, Ning finally turned his attention to Gong Qingwen.

"Hey, Gong Bao. Who do you think our opponent will be in the first match?"

Gong Qingwen was not eating, he was also waiting in line for Rank just like Ning.

"It's hard to say. If you look at the current points in the finals, it should be the three teams of FW, PVB, and TL."

The current time is 5:5 pm on May [-]th, and the qualifying form of the play-in competition is almost clear.

In the next competition, as long as there are no accidents, the three teams that Gong Qing Wennian exported should advance to the group stage.

"That's it... I still hope to match up with PVB, let's get a good start first."

Gong Qingwen nodded, PVB should be the weakest of the three teams, it's not surprising that Ning has such an idea.

……

Time passed quickly, at 5 pm on May 10th, G2 played against SKT, and this was the beginning of the entire MSI group stage.

IG's first game was at eight o'clock in the evening.

The opponent, as Ning thought, is PVB.

And the three teams that advanced from the group stage are FW, TL, and PVB, without any accidents.

At 2 o'clock in the evening, the result of the first match between SKT and G[-] surprised all the audience.

G2 defeated SKT, and even SKT didn't win a few times in this game.

This made many SKT fans feel a little unacceptable.

After all, SKT's ability to fight all the way from LCK to MSI already represents the gold content of their return of the king this year.

But it is such SKT, but when facing G2, it does not have much chance of winning.

And when most of the audience came back to their senses, they gradually realized a fact.

The traditional operation of the LCK is completely unpopular in the current version.

Everyone in IG was of course a little surprised by this result, but they didn't have time to think too much.

Because their first game is about to start in an hour.

……

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the game between IG and PVB officially started amidst the expectations of the LPL audience.

Even if the PVB team is not a strong team, in the eyes of most viewers, this game should not be regarded as a fight between dragons and tigers.

But this game is also IG's first game after all, and it's hard for LPL audiences not to pay attention.

Players from both sides entered the arena, and everyone from IG was immediately attracted by the MSI trophy after they stood on the stage.

Without him, the trophy is so attractive, so golden that it even dazzles the eyes.

In the official live broadcast room, the commentators did not go to Vietnam with IG this time, they could only comment in a certain commentary room in Shanghai.

"Okay, audience friends, welcome to the MSI Mid-Season Championship, the match between IG and PVB, I am the commentator."

"I'm the commentator Miller."

After the two introduced themselves, Wawa quickly began to introduce the situation of the two teams on the field.

"This is IG's first game in the MSI journey, and their opponent PVB is also very interesting to say."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"PVB's team, in their own competition area, is actually very close to IG in style, and they are all that kind of reckless team."

"Oh... Then the match between these two teams today should be very exciting."

"Yes, I hope that both teams can play their own style and present a perfect game for the audience."

After that, the game screen finally entered the BP link.

Choose a side on the field, PVB is the blue side, and IG comes to the red side.

PVB's first ban was directly given to Ryze after that.

This first-hand ban means that PVB has indeed done enough research on the opponent of IG.

The hero Ryze, in the spring finals, IG won three games in a row, and finally defeated JDG with a big score of 3:0.

And PVB obviously didn't want this hero to become the key to IG's beheading himself.

IG's first ban directly sent the prince into the ban pool.

Baby has mentioned that the PVB team's game style is very similar to IG.

It is also on this similar basis that PVB's jungler and ning have different styles.

Compared with heroes such as excavators, PVB's jungler is better at being a tool man of the team, helping teammates to gain the advantage and win the game.

This version of the prince is also his best choice for this style of play.

Therefore, IG directly banned the prince without any hesitation.

PVB's second-hand ban, IG's signature Akali was sent to the ban pool.

The reason why this hero was banned is very simple. IG uses it very well in the middle and upper levels, so good that this hero can basically be banned from the top.

It is estimated that in this MSI schedule, Akali will inevitably be banned.

IG's second ban sent the barrel into the ban pool.

As I said earlier, PVB's jungler is positioned as a tool player in the team.

But that's not to say, PVB's jungler is not important.

On the contrary, in the eyes of many people, PVB's jungler is an indispensable existence in their team.

With him, the PVB team seems to have an engine.

PVB's third ban sent Galio into the ban pool.

For this hero, PVBban is still quite satisfactory.

Both rookie and Liu Qingsong used this hero well. In order to avoid being swayed by IG, PVB directly chose to send it to the ban pool.

IG's third ban sent Xia into the ban pool.

The PVB team has relied heavily on the Xialuo combination throughout the regular season in their own division.

Their ADC is also particularly dependent on Xayah, and it is even okay to say that he is Xayah's unique brother.

Therefore, IG naturally hit the snake seven inches, and directly sent Xia into the ban pool.

As PVB's first choice, their thinking was also very clear, and they directly locked Jess down.

Using grab instead of ban, it can be seen that PVB has indeed done some research on IG.

However, with IG's first choice, the LPL audience couldn't help but feel that PVB was very dull.

Because of IG's first hand, the hero chosen was Silas.

This hero, even though JDG was beaten by IG in the finals and changed several BP ideas, they never thought of releasing him.

Not to mention other teams in the LPL.

Since IG took out a few of this hero and won a few crazy ones, it is very difficult to see Silas in their games.

At this time, PVB directly released Silas to IG.

LPL viewers also don't know what medicine is sold in the PVB gourd.

Is BP negligent, or is there confidence in Counter Silas?

In any case, the BP on the court still did not stop.

IG's second choice is to lock the excavator directly.

To be honest, the LPL audience watching this can't help but laugh out loud.

Silas and Excavator, these two LPL teams are afraid to release IG's heroes, and PVB actually released two at once.

Subsequently, PVB's second choice directly locked the spider down.

Spider is a hero, in the early stage of the jungle, the degree of strength can be ranked among the top three jungle heroes.

Using this hero to play an excavator is indeed a good choice.

PVB's third choice locked Kai'Sa down.

The hero Kai'Sa, after Xia was banned, became the best choice for PVB's ADC at this time.

As for Gong Qingwen's hero pool, there's nothing to worry about.

His hero pool is not like PVB's ADC, with Kai'Sa forehand and Xayah backhand.

In the case that PVB did not deliberately restrict his hero pool, he had too many heroes to choose from.

IG's third choice directly locked Verus down.

The hero Verus, in this version, is indeed a very powerful hero.

PVB has been released, and IG has no reason not to take it.

IG's fourth ban, after that, directly began to choose the hero pool for PVB.

Titan became the fourth hero to be dropped by IGban.

In PVB at this time, only the support is clearly not making any moves.

Jess may be swaying. In order to avoid being bluffed, IG chose to directly target the auxiliary hero pool.

PVB's fourth ban, after that, chose to send Tamm into the ban pool.

This hand ban means that PVB's current thinking is still very clear.

IG selected Verus. If they don't ban Tam, then their laning in the bottom lane will be pure imprisonment.

After all, the laning strength of the two IG bot laners is already stronger than their laning strength.

Let IG choose such a hero combination, then they really don't need to play.

IG's fifth hand ban, once again implemented the ban idea just now, and sent the bull's head into the ban pool.

Of course, these two bans are not just for PVB's auxiliary hero pool.

At the same time, it also has the meaning of protecting Verus from the line.

After all, the hero Verus is still more afraid of forcing it.
