The national service summer semi-finals ended at 7 o'clock on the night.
Two announcements were posted on the homepage of the official forum. One is naturally about the results of the semi-finals of the National Service Professional League and the list of the two line-up teams. Regarding this point, the national service players who watched the game have been broadcast live in the afternoon. No more attention was given.
Dark Night-DK and Team Hope, I already knew it!
What really caught everyone’s attention was the content of the second announcement—
"Notice on the schedule of the World All-Star Game and the postponement of the national service finals."
First of all, this All-Star event officially kicked off two days later. A total of seven top teams participated in the event, from the seven major League of Legends servers.
The North American team, the South American team, the Southeast Asian team, the European team, the Japanese team, the Korean team, and the Chinese team as the organizer of this event.
Among them, it is recognized that the strongest and most competitive are naturally the four major server teams in North America, Europe, South Korea and China.
As for South America, Southeast Asia... and even the Japanese team, all players know that they are basically just to make up the numbers.
Like the South American team, only one team qualified in the World Finals last season, and then they knelt all the way quite unconvincingly, holding a zero duck egg record, and ran back to their own server.
As for the Southeast Asian team, it was during the World Finals that many national server players showed their performance in the Southeast Asian server. That scene... can only be described as "horrible".
In the end, this Japanese team is even more popular than the previous two. The Japanese server has only just started this season. No other country server has experienced several seasons of training and accumulation, and the strength of ordinary players and even professional players in Japanese servers. The level can be imagined.
But at this point, the majority of national server players are gloating:
Good guy, now you can fight the devils in the game!
If a group of guys who have only just learned to squint, if they are met by our national service all-star team, can they still be beaten as a one-two hundred to zero headcount
Think there is still a little look forward to~!
As for the time arrangement, on the opening day, there will be a one-lane match first, with the jungle in the morning and the mid laner in the afternoon; the next day, the top lane in the morning and the bottom lane in the afternoon. Each participating team will have to play against the other six teams. The teams played against each other in turns.
From the third day of the All-Star Game, the team's 5V5 game will be the highlight.
Seven All-Star teams, the schedule is that one team will have a bye in the first round, and the remaining six representative teams will be eliminated in twos. The remaining four teams will play in the second round the next day, and the final decision will be made. The two teams fought a decisive battle.
It is precisely because of this arrangement that the national service professional league final that was originally scheduled to be held two days later was postponed to a week later, that is, the night when the All-Star game ends.
This kind of lengthy and cumbersome schedule introduction text, the majority of national server players just glanced a few hurriedly and then looked away.
What they really care about is the content of the last paragraph of the official announcement of this All-Star game—
The specific arrangements for the group duel of the seven All-Star teams!
There is no need to watch the single-lane duel in the first two days, just swipe down on the virtual light screen to the bottom.
The tree-like information of the 5V5 mode matchups was reflected in the eyes of all national server players for the first time.
[All-Star Game First Round Bye Team: North American Team]
[Group A: Korean team VS Japanese team. 】
[Group B: Chinese team VS Southeast Asian team. 】
[Group C: South American team VS European team. 】
Very clear, clear at a glance.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement. In the first round of the All-Star Game, the four strongest teams in North America, South Korea, China and Europe did not meet each other.
The North American team had the best chance to advance to the second round bye.
South Korea vs. Japan, China vs. Southeast Asia, Europe vs. South America...
It was a match in which the results of all three groups could be guessed with toes.
According to this grouping arrangement, once the Chinese All-Star team defeated the Southeast Asian team in the first round, the European team will be met in the second round. If they win two consecutive rounds, they will advance to the final...
So the last team you may encounter is the Korean team!
The three "God-level" Korean All-Star teams!
The majority of national server players are quite satisfied with this kind of schedule grouping arrangement-the difficulty is from low to high, first practice with Southeast Asians, then play two games with Europeans to improve their state, and finally go to the grass to turn Korean sticks full of energy! !
perfect!
…
For a time, the entire national service was caught in a heated discussion about the upcoming All-Star game.
And the major domestic game media are also following the news and launching interviews and comment shows in due course, inviting a group of national service professional players and well-known popular commentators to analyze and predict the upcoming All-Star Game.
Among them, the most authoritative, on-demand and popular interview video was produced by StarTV.
In this video, StarTV's blockbuster commentator Luoyang and Taozi are the hosts, and Huaniao Fengyue and Watcher are invited as interview guests. The lineup is not luxurious.
The content of the four people's discussions naturally focused on all aspects of the All-Star event, such as the specific rules of the event, the strength comparison between the national service team and the other star teams, and the prediction of the results of the event.
As the star players of last season’s All-Star event, Kacho Fugetsu and the Watcher are very knowledgeable about the details of this event. Many interesting anecdotes from last season’s game have also been shared by many countries who watched the interview video. The service players listened with gusto.
When talking about the evaluation of the strength of the Daquan star teams in this tournament and the prediction of the results of the tournament, Kacho Fengyue gave this answer:
"In the 5V5 mode, everyone should know the list of the top four who will advance to the second round. There is definitely no suspense for the four teams of our national server, European server, Hanbok and North American server to qualify."
"In the second round against the European teams, the most important thing to watch out for is their mid laner gleam, which is recognized as the oldest qualification in the world. "God-level". You must know that gleam is more than just an ice bird. The mid laner hero is definitely the best in the world-of course, the state of the running time is very good recently, and I believe it will bring us a very exciting mid laner duel at that time."
Momoko took the conversation and asked with a smile: "If we can beat the European team, in the final round, our opponents in the finals should basically be the Korean team. Do you have any opinions and comments on the Korean team, Ka and Bird? Or, What do you think is the chance of winning against the Korean team with a gorgeous All-Star lineup like our national service?"
Through the pictures on the video screen, all the national server players who watched this talk show can clearly see that Huaniao Fengyue hesitated for a while.
After a long while, I saw him speak again, slowly saying:
"Speaking from the truth... Although the All-Star team of our national server is stronger than last season, we have to play against such a South Korean team. It is estimated... Well, I am not very optimistic about it... The outcome should be at most four or six. Open left and right, most conservatively speaking, it should be 37 open."
What, what
Four or six is not enough
Against the South Korean team, only a 37% win rate!
Just seeing the content of the interview video here has already caused many national server players to jump straight.
Kacho Fengyue is not wrong, right!
In the current lineup of our national service, apart from using luxury to describe it, we can't find other adjectives, okay!
The five positions, all of which are currently deserved and undisputed first ADC, first support, first top laner, first mid laner and first jungler. This is your sister’s trade from you for a 37-70 Evaluation!
This is too damaging to their own morale and to increase the prestige of others!
As a result, the discussion section of the official forum of the national service suddenly exploded. Most of the crazy posts were accusing Huaniao Fengyue of being too pessimistic and negative, and even a very small number of national service players did not worry about this with the greatest malice. The mentality of being the first supporter of the national service in the past sneered at Huaniao Fengyue because he could not make the All-Star lineup, so he deliberately poured cold water on the national service team.
And in the midst of such passionate condemnation, there is still some calm viewpoints.
Especially the members of the major professional teams in the national service professional circle, in fact, can understand the assessment given by Huaniao Fengyue.
…
"Flower and Bird estimated it, and it's almost the same as I thought—"
In Ionia, in the first zone of the national service, in a custom battle room, the gaze of the water swept across Britz, Delevingne, Out-of-Condition, and Flames of Despair one by one, and then slowly said:
"If we play against the Korean All-Star team, our winning percentage should be below 40%."
