Chapter 272 [YM's Shield]

5 month 13 day.

The third match day of the MSI group stage officially started at 15:00 BJ time.

The first matchup was between G2 and EVS.

After being undefeated in the group stage by YM yesterday, G2 obviously played more restrained.

After all, it would be unacceptable for any team to be overthrown while leading by [-] economic advantages.

In this round of G2, the middle and wild used the roaming system of Ryze + blind monk. Wunder still chose Jess on the road, but this time in the early stage of G2, the middle and wild roamed frequently on the road, helping Wunder push down a tower in 9 minutes.

Jess, who is advanced in development, blasted out nearly half a bucket of HP with an electromagnetic pulse in the mid-term team battle, and Perzk's Ryze is also very skilled in soloing, constantly using the advantage of the line of troops to erode EVS' jungle resources .

In 22 minutes, after G2 gained an economic advantage of [-], a wave of big dragons forced the team, and the team wiped out the entire EVS team and won the game.

After winning this game, G2 also scored [-] points, and once again tied for the first place in the standings with YM and GenG.

At 16:00, TSM played against the Flash Wolves.

In the Day 2 schedule, after TSM won EVS, they finally got their first victory on the MSI journey.

But the Lightning Wolves on the other side looked a little sad.

It's the third day of the group stage, and they haven't won a game yet.

Tied for last with EVS, without a point.

But in fact, in terms of strength, Flash Wolves and EVS are not at the same level at all.

It's just that the schedule of the first two days was really too crazy. They collided with the top seed Samsung twice in a row, got fucked by G2 once, and got educated by YM again.

The horses on the stage looked unwell, with dark circles under their eyes, obviously because they stayed up all night for the sake of the team's future.

However, the Lightning Wolves finally found their way back this time.

In this game, Warhorse took out the speed push system of Thain in the middle lane with the flag of command, and the policewoman + wind girl in the bottom lane, and successfully gained the advantage of the defensive tower in the early stage.

In this game, TSM's top laner Huazer was also infinitely dominated by Flash Wolves top laner Hanabi, and the big bug was solo-killed twice by the Crocodile before the sixth level.

TSM failed to drag the three-piece suit of the North American double gods, and was terminated by a wave of surprise attacks by the Flash Wolves.

After winning this match, the entire Flash Wolves team raised their arms and shouted, as excited as if they had won the MSI championship.

The war horse also breathed a sigh of relief.

After two warm-up games.

BJ time 17:00.

The highlight of today's competition, the competition between Samsung GenG and YM, is about to begin.

YM players had been waiting in the channel early.

Su Chen took the lead, Xiaotian, Zuo Shou, Zhang Xiaowen, Bovy, and Alu stood behind him in turn.

"Welcome to the third group of participating teams, Young Miracle contestants on stage!"

In the voice of the host Sjokz, Su Chen also walked out of the passage first, and came to the stage brightly illuminated by spotlights.

The moment he appeared on the stage, the director immediately pointed the camera at him, and a close-up of Su Chen's expression appeared on the big screen.

The audience in the audience frantically shook the light sticks in their hands, raised their mobile phones to take pictures, and the voices of "JKD" kept coming and going.

Compared with yesterday's enthusiastic atmosphere, it has risen by more than one level.

Su Chen herself felt a little surprised, and raised her hand to greet the audience.

"You're already a superstar in Berlin, JKD." Sjokz said with a smile while holding the microphone.

"I'm surprised." Su Chen looked at a male fan who tried to rush onto the stage, but was dragged away by security.

"You probably don't know, because of your wonderful performance yesterday, YM's official Twitter increased by 200 million followers overnight, and now not only the LOL circle, but even other fields are sharing your story." Sjokz said.

"So that's the case." Su Chen nodded.

For any competitive event, the best way to continuously expand its influence and gain attention is to create representative players or athletes.

Su Chen's current high popularity is partly due to his excellent performance on the field.

On the other hand, it is the MSI sponsor behind the fuel.

By promoting the rise of a superstar like Su Chen, the popularity of MSI has also increased, and all business partners bound to this event will also benefit from it.

Of course, if Su Chen fails to win at MSI in the end, he will obviously be backlashed by public opinion.

Fame is also a double-edged sword.

The higher you stand, the harder you fall.

Su Chen was also very aware of this, so she didn't feel too excited about it.

"The next one to play is the GenG team from the LCK!"

On the left side of the stage, players from Samsung took the stage one by one.

Leading the team is the captain of Samsung, the jungler Ahn.

The next one to come out is Chidi, the AD position of the second seniority in the team.

Then there is Brother Crown in the middle.

Khan, who was new to the team, followed at the end of the team and played with the support players.

Judging from the order of appearance, it is enough to see the generational culture of the LCK division.

Although Khan is currently the best player in the Samsung team, his voice in the team is definitely not as good as Anzhangmen and Chidi.

During the interval between the appearance of Samsung players, the camera also captured some details on their uniforms.

On the black-bottomed jacket, two stars are printed on the chest on the front, representing the two S championships that Samsung won in S4 and S7 respectively.

On the back of the uniform, there is a globe shape made of blue lines, and one of the grids has the national flag of the cold country, highlighting the detached status of LCK.

After Samsung's debut, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became colder.

Audiences in Berlin like YM and Su Chen because they are the dark horses from the LPL. They came to MSI as a challenger, and the outside world is also looking forward to their performance.

However, as this year's LCK spring champion and last year's S champion, Samsung gives people a completely different feeling.

Like a dangerous beast.

Gives a natural sense of distance.

Just like the past few years, the LCK has given people that feeling of being invincible.

Interval between moderator introductions.

YM teenagers are also looking at Samsung on the other side.

Xiaotian was looking at the head of An who stood with his hands behind his back, Chidi who held his head proudly, and Khan with a serious face, and then looked at himself. Except for Su Chen, the temperament of the others was not at the same level at all.

On the third day of the group stage, although YM won North American TSM, European G2, and Flash Wolves, this was the first time they met an LCK team.

"Come on everyone." Meng Ma clapped his hands aside, breaking the silence.

"Don't pay too much attention to the opponent, we just need to play our own." Su Chen also spoke.

"Come on, come on." Zhang Xiaowen, who was completely confused about the situation, also clapped his hands and said.

Although the game talent is outstanding, Zhang Xiaowen actually doesn't watch many games. He didn't know that GenG is Samsung, which won the championship last year, until after this year's MSI.

It's not like people like Zuo Shuo and Xiaotian have a deep feeling for the dominance of the LCK in the past this year.

After the host's introduction.

Players on both sides take their seats.

During this interval, commentary seats from various regions were also in place.

This kind of focus game has attracted a lot of attention from all competition areas.

The studio in the LCK division.

The area commentator Lira in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of the camera.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lira, and the match between GenG and the LPL representative team YM will start soon." Lira said calmly.

In front of the camera, he still looks like the host of the LCK. He is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a greasy hair and pink face, and is very delicately dressed.

"Today we also invited a special guest to explain the match with me. Can you guess who it is?" Lira deliberately kept it off.

After the bullet screen guessed for a while, he spread his hands to the right.

"Qiangqiang!"

The camera pans to the side.

I saw Faker in a suit and earphones appearing in front of the camera.

"Hi everyone." Faker looked around, found the camera, and waved his hand seriously.

"It's really an honor to invite Faker player to participate in the commentary of this game." Lira smiled.

"Actually, I prefer to stand on the stage as a player." Faker looked at the screen and said frankly.

"Yes, this year's MSI is really only a little short, but it doesn't matter, let's work harder in the summer split," Lira nodded, "For today's matchup, who does Faker think will be the ultimate winner?"

Faker held the headset down and thought for a moment: "Both teams are currently winning streak in the group stage, and they are in good form. Compared with YM, GenG will have more experience, but YM seems to be fully prepared this time, and the outcome is also very good. Unpredictable."

"I heard that Faker and YM's top laner, JKD, are very close friends. Is it true?" Lira started gossiping.

"We occasionally play games together in cold clothes. After I lost the game, he also specially sent me a message to encourage me." Faker blinked, "But we haven't met in real life yet, it may be more accurate to call it a netizen. a little."

"It's really rare to have such a close relationship with an LPL player, but I believe you will meet each other soon," Lira said with a smile, "At this year's MSI, JKD played very well. Do you think he can How far will you lead YM?"

"He has been improving and is currently the best top laner in LPL," Faker said earnestly, "But YM's way of winning the game is still somewhat single, and I believe GenG can also see it."

"Only relying on the laning advantage of the top lane to open the situation is not enough to support YM to reach the final. I think Su Chen still has a lot to change. He has to learn how to mobilize his teammates."

Lira nodded in agreement.

As a talented mid laner who debuted in S3, Faker's own style has also undergone great changes in the past few years.

From the assassin Shashen in the middle of S3, to Galio in S7 with one guarantee and four, he knows exactly what to do to win the game.

During the conversation between the two parties.

The coaches on both sides also ended the coin guessing session.

In this game, Samsung GenG won the blue side.

The big screen switched to the BP screen.

In the first round, Ban on both sides.

Blue Square GenG: Akali, Lee Sin, Plane

Red Fang YM: EZ, Scorpion, Thain

"Oh, GenG sent the plane to Ban in the first round today, and the sense of smell is very keen." Lira said.

"YM won the two rounds yesterday. On the surface, JKD played well, but the plane in the mid lane is a very important part of the team battle," Faker said. "Because of the lack of firepower in the bottom lane, YM relies heavily on the mid lane. For explosive output in team battles, aircraft is currently the most suitable option for them.”

The blue side, GenG's first choice, paused for a few seconds, then revealed the wheel Masivir, and then locked it.

"Steal the wheel, mother? This is really rare." Lira was surprised.

"Ban the plane first, and then grab the wheel. In this round, GenG wants to weaken YM's output ability in team battles." Faker thought for a moment, "Then, the only AD choices that are suitable for YM in the bottom lane are Han Bing and Bing Bing. Jhin is such a functional AD.”

"For support, they need to grab Tamm first. If GenG gets the combination of Wheel Mom + Tamm, Rule will become very difficult to deal with."

Sure enough, as he said.

YM's first choice, won Han Bing.

The second choice is to grab Tamm.

"Sure enough, it's reassuring to comment with professional players." Lira praised.

Faker shook his head, not paying attention.

The blue side, it's GenG's second and third picks.

In the second choice, GenG locked Malzahar.

When this option is taken out, it can be said that YM's option to take the enchantress in the middle is closed in advance.

As for the third choice, GenG showed an emerald green hero after a pause.

Green Steel Shadow!
"Wow! GenG locked Qinggangying very decisively for Khan, which is so interesting." Lira laughed.

He also knew that this was Jiang Keda's famous hero.

"Get Qinggangying, you can save a Ban position in the second round, and YM should not be very good at taking out Sword Demon, this is a very good choice." Faker said solemnly.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think of the memories of the Spring Finals.

At that time, Samsung also used such a chain-like BP to kill all the strengths of SKT and win the game.

Get the blue side, because you can grab it, which is equivalent to an extra Ban.

And Samsung is a team that can take this advantage to the extreme.

It is the turn of YM on the red side to make the third choice.

In the live broadcast, Meng Ma frowned, turning back and forth with his notebook.

It looked a little grim.

Obviously, YM's BP is currently at a disadvantage.

The stable dual AD structure of the plane and the wheel is locked.

The enchantress who can't get the left-handed sign in the middle.

The three options of Qinggangying, Sword Demon, and Akali on the road were all rejected.

It does seem a little passive.

Ten seconds later, YM finally locked the third hero.

Ryze was still taken by the left hand.

"This Ryze is a little bit reluctant," Lira commented, "Morgana or Karma, the two options, may be more suitable in the middle lane."

"Knight's roaming ability is not that good, and taking these two heroes is equivalent to handing over the team battle output task to Han Bing, which is not suitable." Faker shook his head.

The second round of BP begins.

The remaining two Bans.

Samsung is also welcome, first Banner, then Banjers.

And YM banned Lulu and the troll.

It's YM's turn to make the fourth pick.

At this time, Meng Ma came between the seats of Su Chen and Xiaotian.

"After Jess Ban is gone, we only have two plans. The first is to take vampires/Rambo on the road to supplement the output of team battles, and the second is to play wild cores. Take the male gun/Qianjue/Leopard for Xiaotian. Girl, what do you two think?" Meng Ma said.

Xiaotian hesitated when he heard it.

The last time he took a male gun, the rhythm in the early stage was indeed not very good.

What's more, in this round, he has to face the champion jungler Ahn.

This is an opponent of a higher level than Peanut.

I really have no idea.

"After all, we have to try it out, and this is not the only match between us and Samsung." Su Chen said.

"Brother Chen, what do you mean..." Xiaotian turned to look at him.

"Give Xiaotian a male gun," Su Chen looked at Meng Ma.

"But I think..." Xiaotian hesitated.

"I think it's okay," Meng Ma nodded, "It doesn't hurt to try again."

"Be more confident, Tianbao." The left hand also spoke.

"Don't worry, you can do it." Su Chen said firmly.

Xiaotian didn't know why Su Chen was so sure, maybe it was just to comfort himself.

Following the coach's arrangement, he finally locked the male gun.

"Oh, YM actually took out a jungler like the male gun again. I remember that Tian used the male gun in the last game. The effect was mediocre. He is a very rhythmic player. It is relatively rare to see this kind of wild core style of play." Lira watched with information.

"Only the last top laner is left." Faker looked at Su Chen on the screen.

Seeing that YM got the male gun in the fourth pick, the GenG coach couldn't help laughing.

Obviously think this is a forced and helpless choice.

For the blue side, GenG's four or five picks are Nightmare in the jungle position and Karma in the support position.

"GenG's lineup is perfect," Lira commented. "The chain of control, the rhythm of the nightmare in the early stage, the right to push lanes from the bottom lane Karma + Wheel Mom, and the single belt of Qinggangying in the middle and late stages."

"It's really good, just look at the last option of YM." Faker said.

After GenG completed the entire lineup, the camera also moved to YM's side again.

After getting the male gun in the jungle position, YM's current lineup and output capability are sufficient on paper.

There is still a lack of a tank hero who can start a team.

With Gnar being banned, Kennen looks like an option.

However, in this way, Khan can play very freely online, and there is no obstacle to the single belt in the later stage.

What YM needs is a shield.

Faker was thinking about what hero Su Chen would bring out.

The red square, YM's fifth choice, has been highlighted.

With horns on his head, his burly body is covered in crimson, and he holds a pair of hammers tightly in his hands.

Demigods of the Freljord!

The Flame of the Mountain Hidden!

Orne!

 After writing the chapter of "The Sword Comes", I feel that the effect is not very good.

  I have been thinking for a long time these days.

  This chapter is written in a different way.

  It can be regarded as an attempt.
