The schedule of the first day of the group stage ended with two domestic teams winning all games.
On the first day of the schedule, the domestic teams NRG and IF were the first and last games respectively. They played against European and North American teams respectively, and did not play against Korean teams.
After a day of competition, there were also several teams and several star players who left a deep impression on the audience.
NRG's middle field combination black and silver.
If's mid laner Hu Jingsence and adc player Luo Yongchang Roy.
South Korean team sot's mid laner frost.
&nbaddemon) support player muffy.
European team ving's mid laner pure.
Adc player Turke of the North American team wbg (wildbeastgaming).
At the current stage, the "League of Legends" professional team still relies heavily on the personal strength of star players. Although they will also grab strong heroes, their understanding of heroes, routines, techniques and tactics has not reached that level.
When the audience watched the game, they were all staring at the brighter players and their signature heroes. Anyway, they cheered as long as there was a kill, and they couldn't see too many tactical intentions and details.
The schedule for the first round of the group stage basically allows teams from each division to have a chance to make an appearance, and all games are Bo1, and each team will play one game a day and it will be over.
After the first round, each team in the group will play a round with the other three teams. Generally speaking, if they get 2 wins, the situation of qualifying is more optimistic.
When it comes to the second round of the group stage, the four-day schedule is to finish one group every day and directly decide whether the teams in the group will stay or not. This stage is very tense and cruel.
At the end of the first day of the competition, although the two domestic teams nrg and if both won, the domestic teams became nervous because after seeing the performance of other teams, they found that these teams were not weak at all!
The performance of several old strong teams in Europe and the United States is better than expected. They are not the weaklings in everyone's impression, and the Korean team has improved significantly, even much stronger than the European and American teams!
In fact, domestic teams often made appointments with South Korean teams for training matches before, which can be regarded as some kind of e-sports tradition. It has continued from the previous RTS games and FPS games. After all, cross-region sparring can challenge opponents with completely different styles. Both are good for each other.
However, due to the relatively late opening of the Korean server, Korean teams basically played poorly when they played against domestic teams, and their personal skills were far behind. That's why Hu Jing of if had the idea of belittle Korean teams.
But after today's game, after analyzing the performance of several strong teams, the leaders of various domestic teams were surprised to find that the Korean team has improved very fast!
Today's two Korean team matches are also against Europe and the United States. One is sot's mid laner frost solo show, and the clockwork monster smashed through the audience; Established a great advantage for the team in the mid-term.
This can be said to be a world of difference from the performance of the South Korean team in the training game before.
The team leaders of each team also began to pay attention to it, researching several strong enemies, especially mg and ntclub, which were grouped with the two Korean teams e-motus and mad, and even collected data overnight to analyze these two Korean teams style of play.
Judging from the results of the first day, China and South Korea performed well, while Europe and the United States performed poorly except for veteran teams such as vsg and wbg.
Of course, this is also related to the grouping. Each competition area has strong teams and weak teams. Today, it happened that the strong teams from China and South Korea collided with the weak teams from Europe and America, so there is no suspense about winning.
If the next game is a strong duel, it is hard to say what the result will be.
At present, the strength of each competition area is basically not much different from what Chen Mo estimated.
On the whole, there is no doubt that the domestic team is the strongest. Because the "League of Legends" on the national server has been online for several months in the morning, and the player base is also large, in the process of master duels, domestic high-score players have improved rapidly.
If players from foreign servers come to play on the national server, they will obviously find that the rhythm of the king of the national server is faster than that of the foreign server, and the players' operations are also better.
And at this stage, the environment of the domestic e-sports circle is relatively clean, there is no hot money pouring in, and the minds of e-sports players are relatively simple. This is a group of players with e-sports dreams, although there are no particularly strict rules. Management system, but they are generally very hardworking, so it is normal for them to be ahead temporarily.
Whether it is personal strength or teamwork, several domestic teams are significantly better than other competition areas.
The European division and the Korean division are of the same level, but have different styles. South Korea is more inclined to mid-term rhythm and teamwork, while Europe is more inclined to development and team battles.
These two divisions have a relatively deep background in e-sports. Many professional players in "League of Legends" have transformed from other sports. They have good reactions and operations, plus good team management and a lot of training. , so the progress is very fast.
As for North America, only a few veteran teams can compete with the three divisions of China, South Korea and Europe.
This situation was also as Chen Mo expected.
In fact, in Chen Mo's previous life, the s2 period can be said to be an era of rising. South Korea had azf and najinsword, Europe had m5 and clg.eu, China had we and ig, and tpa won the championship. The gap between them is not that big, more is the difference in concept, tactics, and on-the-spot performance.
The same is true in the parallel world. It is still in the development period of "League of Legends", and the strong teams in each region are still in the groping stage. There is no regional league, so there is no dominant competition area.
The national server was launched several months earlier, and the number of players on the national server is far more than that of the foreign server. You don't need to fight, just go home and sell cakes as soon as possible.

If team training room.
Hu Jing is watching the game video of the Sot team.
Sot's mid laner, frost, is one of the top mid laners in Korea. This match was against a North American team. He used a clockwork monster to solo kill his opponent online. In the mid-term competition for dragons, he even passed an insidious The possession of the ball drew four people and directly established the victory.
After the first day of the game, the domestic teams also somewhat put aside their contempt for foreign teams, and began to seriously study the styles and styles of these teams.
The team leader asked: "This sot should be our most threatening opponent in the group. How do you feel about his personal skills?"
Hu Jing watched the video seriously: "It's very strong, and the details are very good. It has a high level of proficiency in the hero clockwork, and its understanding of the game is also very good."
The team leader asked: "Then, do you have confidence in this frost?"
Hu Jing said calmly: "Don't worry, this person is very strong, but compared with Chen Mo, he is far behind."
The team leader was taken aback: "Really?"
Hu Jing smiled: "Frost's clockwork is also fierce in lane, and the operation is very delicate, but I should be able to handle it. Whether I use ice bird or death song, I am sure that there is no disadvantage in lane. What's more, Our ad is stronger than sot's ad, as long as I stay stable and wait for the mid-to-late teamfight, the chances of winning are great."
