Alliance: Beat Khan at the start

Chapter 167 Against RNG
As the first team to play in the group stage of the S9 World Championship, GRF successfully defeated the European and American strong team FNC as their opponent with a crushing advantage, making their reputation once again loud.

Because there were a lot of people talking about Griffin before the game. Many people knew about this LCK team. Everyone knew that he was strong, but no one could say how strong he was.

After all, there was a play-in match before the World Championship, and it has nothing to do with GRF, so people are not sure.

But it's different now. Griffin defeated FNC, a European giant team, with crushing strength. Although it was only a BO1, it should not be underestimated.

With a good start, GRF is of course very happy, but this is just the beginning. After a little celebration, McGeor also reminded that this is just the beginning, and they still have a long way to go to the championship to go.

There are a total of six games in the group stage, and only one game has been played now. Of course, it is not worth the expansion.

In the group stage on the first day, apart from Griffin's victory over FNC without any suspense, there were other surprises that surprised everyone.

For example, DWG in the fourth game played against TL and FPX played against JT in the fifth game.

Before the game, almost everyone was more optimistic that DWG and FPX could easily defeat their opponents, especially FPX in the fifth game.

DWG, as the third seed of the LCK, showed their strong strength to everyone in the play-in match. Originally, they thought that they would easily win against TL in the North American Lao competition area, but who knew they were overthrown by them, especially in the match. The Naka Ueno trio that everyone was optimistic about before was blown away by TL.

And Nuguri's operation is even more puzzling. His vampire actually sold CD shoes and published a book. The most interesting thing is DWG's support. Before the game, he broke the news that his butt was burned and he might not be able to play.

When he sat in the game booth, all the audience who supported TL couldn't help calling a liar.
If DWG's rollover is barely understandable, then the fifth game of FPX playing JT is a bit unacceptable.

Especially after the game, LWX was sprayed on the hot search by domestic netizens.

The fifth game was very chaotic. After the game, JT said: It's a bit unbelievable that he actually defeated FPX!

In this game, the biggest problem is actually LWX, his details are not in place at all, every time he fights in a team battle, he is dropped first!
Especially in the 14-minute Xiaolong Tuan, he shot directly at Xia, but he was single-killed because his ult and flash were useless!After that, he was directly sprayed on Weibo's top search list by netizens!

But fortunately, LPL's IG and RNG are quite strong, and successfully won their first victory in the group stage, barely comforting the LPL audience.

In this way, the first day of the group stage ended under much attention. Although the process may be a bit unexpected, it is generally acceptable.

The first game of the second day was Griffin vs. RNG. Both teams won their first wins the day before, but before they had time to rest, the second game was about to start.

Before the game, almost all netizens supported GRF overwhelmingly. The reason is very simple, that is, their performance is somewhat impeccable.

RNG also performed pretty well on the first day, but Xiaohu's performance in the middle was not so satisfactory.

Langx is quite C, but no one would think that he can get any cheap from Lin Canyu.

Although Wu Zi in the bottom lane is strong, Viper is not weak either, so not many people are optimistic about RNG.

The results of this second game did not exceed everyone's expectations. From the very beginning, Griffin played a great advantage in the upper and middle positions.

Especially Langx, who was okay in the previous game, was beaten directly. Lin Canyu was really inappropriate in this match, and he chose a crocodile to face Langx's Iron Man.

From the third level, Langx was pressed under the defensive tower, and he didn't take Karsa's blind monk seriously at all.

Chovy in the middle lane directly took out a card he rarely used, pushed the line flow with one hand, and directly destroyed RNG in the early stage. From level 6 onwards, almost one kill per minute on average.

Either flying up and down or catching blind monks in the wild, always keeping the rhythm in his own hands.

Then he continued to use the dragon to take resources to catch orders and so on, and in a little over 10 minutes, he pushed down RNG's base crystal in a wave.

This also made the outside world's rating of the GRF team a little higher.

Originally, it seemed to the outside world that even if RNG couldn't beat Griffin, at least they could play back and forth. Who knew that they were led by the nose, completely lost their direction, and played extremely passively.

As for Lin Canyu after the match with RNG, he only has one feeling, that is, there is a problem with this team, and it is still very big.

Lin Canyu still remembers a comment about RNG that was circulated on the Internet in his previous life, that is, UZI determines the lower limit of RNG, while Xiaohu determines the upper limit of RNG.

Lin Canyu felt that this sentence was very appropriate.

When Uzi can't have much advantage in the bottom lane, as long as there is no advantage in the middle or the upper and middle lanes, it will be difficult for RNG.

Just like this game, the middle and upper lanes were blown out, and the bottom lane hurriedly wanted to play an advantage, but being impatient gave chances easily.

After defeating Uzi in a group fight, the game ends directly.

At this time, the process of the group stage of the World Championship has come to the third day. GRF has completed two games and won all of them.

This also means that Griffin has started their most familiar winning streak again.

This link is no longer familiar to GRF, and the regular season victory in the summer season seems to be still vivid.

It is because of the unbeaten victory in the summer split that Griffin is known as the biggest favorite for the world championship.

And so far, Griffin's performance has not disappointed any fans who are optimistic about them. They have always won with such strong strength.

"Through these two days of competition, we have seen a new star rising."

In the post-match review after defeating RNG, the English commentary on the scene said this.

"If we didn't know much about this young team before, then through these two games we can clearly realize how powerful they are."

"They were still very immature in the LCK spring split. They were defeated by the seasoned SKT in the finals. Although at the last minute they ranked their youngest player and their biggest hero in the summer split-Yolo, they still It was unable to reverse the decline.”

These English commentaries obviously did their homework, and they talked about GRF's past.

"But they seem to have been sublimated in the summer split, both in terms of personal ability and teamwork. They have improved significantly, especially after Yolo started on the road."

"I believe that everyone who has known GRF knows this new star. After the growth in the summer split, he has now completely become the most stable and most successful point in GRF."

"The current GRF relies on the strong personal strength of the players and the tacit teamwork. It is almost invincible. Just like this game, GRF changed their usual pure fighting lineup and started to play rhythm operations, directly beating RNG dizzy , This also allows us to see more of their tactics."

"So, I think whether it's our European and American divisions, or the other two teams in the LPL division or even the LCK division, they must use [-]% of their strength to face the Griffin team that they may encounter. "

What the commentator said was a bit exaggerated, but it was still useful. At least the audience all over the world knew the horror of Griffin, and they all left messages under the official accounts of the teams they supported.

Although it is of no use, it at least gives them a sense of participation.
