Alliance: My Qinggang Shadow made my alma mater famous

Chapter 278 [Come on! G2! 】

After the Day 3 schedule is all over.

Su Chen took Xiaotian, and the two accepted the post-match interview with the host Sjokz.

Probably because of the first interview with a foreigner, Xiaotian seemed a lot more nervous than in LPL.

He shrunk his back the whole time, and didn't dare to look at Sjokz, who was smiling, and even stumbled when answering questions.

Today, SJokz is still dressed very charmingly, with a tight suit and skirt paired with fish mouth high heels, which perfectly outlines her proud figure.

Seeing Xiaotian who was not looking sideways in the live broadcast, the audience masters also ridiculed him for tactically suppressing the gun.

"Congratulations to YM for winning six consecutive victories in the group stage. This is also the best result in the LPL division since the beginning of MSI. Is this what you expected before you came to Berlin?" Sjokz threw the topic to Su Chen.

Although Xiaotian's performance today was very eye-catching, breaking the stereotype of him from the outside world in one fell swoop.

But she was still more interested in Su Chen.

Compared to a young boy, a man like Su Chen who is mature and somewhat mysterious is more able to arouse her enthusiasm, well, in all aspects.

"Although the ultimate goal is the championship, we will not deliberately sprint to any record, but prepare carefully for every game." Su Chen replied.

"Achieving this result is not only YM's record, but also the progress of the entire LPL division."

Sjokz nodded approvingly: "You are very much a leader now."

In the past few days of the group stage, she looked through a lot of Su Chen's previous games.

When he first entered the LPL, Su Chen gave people the feeling in the interview, I don't know if he was too straightforward, or he was really fledgling and arrogant.

It looks too sharp.

After winning the league championship and coming to MSI, Su Chen seemed to have matured a lot.

In his words, he will always bring both the club and the competition area, and he will not pay too much attention to his own record.

Sjokz couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This man is a player destined to leave a record in the history of LoL.

"Last question," Sjokz switched cards in his hand, "You have a good chance to qualify as the top players in the group stage, and you will have the right to choose your opponent in the first round. Which team do you want to play against now? "

According to the competition rules of this year's MSI.

The top team in the group stage can choose their opponents among the third and fourth places.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure that they enter the finals, most people will pick the underdogs to play, which is basically a matchup like the first to the fourth.

"I can't answer this question for you," Su Chen smiled slightly, "There are two days left in the group stage, and no one knows what will happen next."

"I don't like talking too early, celebrating before reaching the finish line, that's tantamount to suicide."

"But no matter who we face in the knockout round, we will treat it with 100% state."

After the interview, return to the hotel.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

The dozen or so members of YM's team gathered in the large box that was rented as a meeting room.

There are more than [-] dishes, large and small, on the long table, all of which are Chinese dishes.

The team members who hadn't eaten dinner were already hungry, and they all rolled up their sleeves and started to move.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Xiao Ma brought over the champagne that he planned to open during the day, but he couldn't open the champagne bottle for a long time under the gaze of everyone, and his face flushed in embarrassment.

"Chez!" Zhang Xiaowen gestured with the cup in a dignified manner, then took a sip, his expression distorted instantly.

"What does it taste like?"

"Are you Long Ming? You don't even know how to drink champagne." After Xiaotian mocked him unceremoniously, he took a sip himself, but his expression also became distorted.

Seeing their reaction, the left hand at the side sniffed the cup suspiciously.

"I'll give you Sprite in the future." Xiao Ma said angrily.

Everyone was enjoying the supper happily.

During the period, the team's boss PDD also made a video call, and his complexion became more rosy in the camera.

It seems to be recovering well, the double chin that had disappeared had grown back again.

Meng Ma and Su Chen were discussing the arrangements for the remaining two match days.

"I think it's better to try to qualify for the top spot. It's not just a question of whether to record or not." Meng Ma put a piece of boiled fish into his mouth.

"Samsung and G2 have already locked two positions, and the rest depends on whether it is TSM or Flash Wolves." Su Chen thought while sipping champagne.

If Flash Wolves make it to the top four, then YM should choose him without hesitation.

After all, the only strong point of this team is Hanabi on the road.

YM is very willing to play this kind of game where both sides compete with each other to see who is better.

However, if it's TSM, that's not necessarily the case.

After all, the big brother in the bottom lane is the best AD player besides Chidi this year.

If you really want to play games, YM may still be willing to compete with G2 in the Ueno instead of exposing your weakness to TSM.

"Then it would be better for the Lightning Wolves to enter the semi-finals," Meng Ma pondered. "Warhorse has been talking to me for the past two days, so I'll go and have a chat with him."

Su Chen nodded.

Day 4 of the group stage.

In the first battle, Flash Wolves will play against EVS.

After 34 minutes of fierce fighting.

The Flash Wolves regrettably lost, and EVS finally won their first victory in the MSI group stage on the fourth day.

In this match, Lightning Wolves will lose. Simply put, there is a problem with their thinking.

In addition to EZ, the strongest AD Kasha is not mentioned for EVS this year.

My family went down the road and got a wheelie mom and Karma, playing push-line streaming.

In the middle lane, Maple has heroes such as Airplane, Ryze, and Enchantress who are fierce in the middle and late stages, so he took a Zoe to play Poke flow.

EVS directly took out a Morgana mid laner backhand, making maple invisible for the entire game.

However, this Vietnamese Iron Man finally exploded once, and he took Jess to kill Hanabi's crocodile twice on the road.

Seeing the last wave of Lightning Wolves falling ill and being wiped out by the regiment, Su Chen's lips twitched. Turning to look at Meng Ma, he found that he was looking out the window lost in thought.

Full day schedule for Day 4.

The Flash Wolves lost to EVS first, and then to TSM, falling out of the semi-finals ahead of schedule.

After Samsung won G2, they unexpectedly lost to TSM. They only scored six points and failed to overtake YM on the fourth day.

And YM once again won all the victories, leading the pack with a record of 8-0!
The ranking of the group stage is also basically determined.

YM sits firmly in the top spot, Samsung sits firmly behind, G2 and TSM fall into the third and fourth decks.

Due to the establishment of the ranking, the Day 5 schedule is insignificant.

The teams of all parties also played very restrained.

Samsung lost to G2, and G2 also lost to Flash Wolves.

In the final match, the teams that entered the semi-finals also played in a secretive manner, trying not to give their opponents a chance to spy on them.

In the last match against Flash Wolves in the closing match, YM took the lead for 25 minutes, and after a wave of all members, they were overturned by Flash Wolves and finally sent a victory.

In the end, YM advanced to the MSI semi-finals with a record of 9-1!
This is also the best result of the LPL team since MSI was held in 2015!
After winning the game, the horse still had a B number in his heart, so he ran to the lounge of YM to bid farewell after the game.

"It's a pity that I couldn't compete with you in the knockout round." War Horse said regretfully, "It's a pity that I have studied YM for so long."

"It's okay, it's okay, didn't you win a game, it's really hard to say that the knockout round is coming." Meng Ma said angrily.

"Don't comfort me. If you can't even see the difference in the strength of the team, I don't need to be this coach." War Horse also shook his head with a smile.

In the past few years in the LMS division, Flash Wolves have not been able to make breakthroughs in international competitions.

MSI failed to break out of the group stage, which is tantamount to another blow for the horses.

Perhaps, the team building philosophy and tactical direction he has always insisted on are wrong.

Looking at Su Chen in front of him, and Xiaotian and his left hand standing behind him.

The war horse couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

What kind of team and players can defeat the YM in front of them?

At the beginning of the year, War Horse had already received an invitation from FPX.

If after the S8 season, he is still standing still, then he should go to LPL to try the water.

After the horse left.

The YM team also held a plenary meeting.

On the one hand, they reviewed the five-day group match schedule. Meng Ma also focused on the problems existing in the team and the style of play that should continue to be adhered to.

In 10 games, the current YM has mastered three ideas.

The first type, the most stable, is also the dual AD routine of a mid-lane plane paired with bot lane Wheel Mom/Ice/Jin.

The second type, which is Xiaotian's wild core style of play, male gun/leopard girl/Qian Jue are also optional.

In the last four games of the group stage, Xiaotian and Su Chen each won two MVPs, which finally made Meng Ma feel relieved, and he could freely design some tactics for Xiaotian.

If neither of these two ideas can win.

Then Meng Ma could only use his trump card.

That is, let Su Chen go!
This line on the road is also YM's public secret big move.

Samsung, G2, and TSM also all know how YM won the first half of the group stage.

However, no one knows whether Jiang Keda will have any cards after Akali and Sword Demon.

After the entire schedule of the group stage is over.

The four teams that entered the MSI knockout round all got two days off.

During this period, in the domestic LOL circles, in addition to the daily battles of black players and white players, many people in the circle are also discussing the draw ceremony of the semi-finals.

According to the rules, YM, who ranks first, has the right to choose his opponent first in the first round.

The current discussion point is whether YM should play G2 or TSM.

Normally speaking, YM playing TSM would be a more stable choice.

After all, in terms of strength, G2's overall strength is more than one grade higher than TSM.

However, combined with the entire schedule of the group stage.

On the contrary, when it is YM and TSM, it will be more difficult to play.

Because of the existence of the big brother in the bottom lane, YM will pour a lot of money into the bottom lane in BP.

Bovys like EZ, Kai'Sa, and Xia can't play, but they can't be assigned to the big brothers, they all have to be in the Ban position.

As a result, it is difficult for the left hand in the middle and Xiaotian in the wild to get better choices.

And if you play G2, the bot lanes on both sides are pure mix.

Even with functional AD like Ice and Jhin, Bovy can gain a firm foothold.

YM can compete with G2 in Ueno with peace of mind.

On the contrary, it looks more stable.

Interestingly.

During these two days of rest.

On Twitter, both G2 and TSM also let go of their harsh words.

TSM expressed the hope that YM could pick itself in the first round, and posted a photo of Bilson and his big brother staring at each other, as if wanting Yixue to be double-killed in the group stage.

On the other hand, G2 showed a strange expression. If they want to enter the finals, then choose TSM. After all, YM has exhausted all their tricks, and on their side, they still have a lot of hidden things that have not been taken out.

After talking, G2 also posted a picture, which shows the five heroes Qinggangying, Gnar, Sword Demon, Akali, and Aoun in the Ban position, and the picture of YM's team flag split in half.

What G2 means, I don't know if they are really working on program effects, or if they are really planning to put the order on Ban [-].

As for Samsung, which ranks No.2, it seems relatively cold on Twitter.

Facing G2 and TSM's interaction request, Samsung simply replied with an emoticon package, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Anyway, when the time comes, YM will finish the selection first, and pick the rest for him to fight.

May 5, 17:20 China time.

Inside the LCS studio in Berlin.

The draw ceremony for the semi-finals also officially began.

The four teams that entered the knockout stage, YM, GneG, G2, and TSM, each sent a representative to participate in tonight's draw ceremony.

After a review video of the group match was played on the big screen, Sjokz also slowly stepped onto the stage. After summarizing the wonderful performances of the past few days, he introduced the representatives of the four teams participating in the draw ceremony tonight.

"The first one to play is the JKD player from YM!"

Under the introduction of Sjokz, Su Chen, wearing a pitch-black YM team uniform, slowly stepped onto the stage under the spotlight.

The auditorium immediately erupted into cheers, and many Berlin audience immediately made a small trumpet shape with their hands, shouting the slogan of TSM, expressing their hope that YM would choose TSM first in the first round.

Then came the representative of Samsung, Captain An.

Then, there is the grinning Perkz, and the bearded Bilson who looks a bit vicissitudes.

Representatives of the four teams stood on both sides of Sjokz.

She also briefly introduced the rules.

In order to increase the fun of the lottery, the organizer of this year's MSI also played a trick.

Let the four teams choose the team they want to fight.

Finally, the choice of YM, who ranked first, will be announced to re-rank.

This kind of process can also see the true thoughts of each team and trigger some discussions.

After Sjokz's introduction, the four representatives also put their written cards into Sjokz's hands.

Sjokz put the cards in Su Chen's hand aside alone, and then recalled the choices of the other three teams.

"The GenG team from the LCK, their opponent in the first round is the TSM team!"

Immediately there was a burst of shouts at the scene.

Although G2 is either playing Samsung or YM, once the teams in the LCK division enter the knockout round, they are often in another state.

European audiences don't want G2 to meet Samsung in the first round, if possible.

After reading the three stars, SJokz also read the choices of the other two teams.

"The G2 team from the EU, the opponent they chose is the GenG team!"

"As for NA's TSM team, they chose the YM team!"

Unexpectedly, G2 actually wanted to play against Samsung in the first round. Combined with the scenes on their twitter shouting about YM, people can't help but sigh that this team is really confident.

On the other hand, TSM wants to play YM, which also shows that they know their own advantages.

Against Samsung, TSM should have no chance at all.

Every team has different ideas, but the final decision is YM's choice.

After drawing Su Chen's hand card.

Sjokz first looked around, and asked Su Chen who was beside him mischievously, saying that it was still too late to change.

After Su Chen smiled and shook his head.

Sjokz also reads his choice aloud.

"The YM team from the LPL Division, their opponent in the first round is G2!"

When Sjokz reads the choice.

Bilson shook his head regretfully, which meant that they were going to face Samsung.

Head An turned his head and glanced at Su Chen, but didn't say anything.

Only Perkz, who was selected, did not rush to surprise after confirming the first round against YM. Instead, he smiled and clapped his hands.

A confident look.

After the lottery ceremony, the 2018 MSI semi-final matchup was officially born.

YM played against G2, while Samsung played against TSM.

Tomorrow, these four teams will also leave Berlin and head to the Zenith Stadium in Paris to officially start the semi-finals!
