Although it seems that the performance of the group stage of this year's world finals is not good, the SSK team is still the most powerful contender for the championship trophy of this year's finals, and it still has a good reputation from the outside world. defending the title.
But also, because the strength of the SSK team so far this year is not as good as in previous years, this year's finals are finally no longer the only situation in the SSK and even the South Korean LCK division.
Under the lights of the stage, there are also other strong contenders for the championship trophy.
Among them, Autumn, the second-ranked support god of the Four Emperors, and the Season team that won the runner-up trophy last year.
It also includes the Fate team, which brazenly eliminated the two powerful enemies of Assassin and Minx in the death group this year, and advanced to the group as the second team.
There is also the KG team that was divided into the same group as SSK in the group stage, and almost both of the two battles almost forced the former into an extremely dangerous situation.
Of course, Legend and MLG on the European side are also extraordinary and should not be underestimated.
but-
Even if there are so many top-notch teams that have the strength to compete for the championship trophy, but really speaking, so far, all players and professional commentators in the world have recognized that the most likely to cause fatal threats and challenges to the SSK team, There is still only one.
That is the number one seed in the LPL division, God-Hand of God.
And today is the opening match of the quarter-finals.
Today's first group quarterfinal match.
It was the match between the God team and the MLG team.
Therefore, for the vast number of netizens and viewers in the official live broadcast rooms of the major live broadcast platforms on the Internet at this time, it is even more surprising to see the presence of the members of the SSK team today, and it is a matter of course—
That's right.
Your SSK status this year is not as good as in previous years.
What's more, in the finals so far, the top-seeded God team in the LPL division of our national server has performed the most powerful and domineering momentum, and even dazzled and overwhelmed your SSK.
You couldn't do it last year.
But this year, the God team is coming back with a brand new attitude, and it's finally your turn to be a little bit panicked by the high-ranking SSK team
The vast number of national server players and netizens couldn't help but be so excited, but they were not worried at all about the game that was about to start later.
How about playing MLG...
Don't panic at all
As early as today, they have heard detailed analysis and evaluation from many different retired players, professional commentators and anchors on the Internet through various channels and in various ways - although this MLG is in this year's European competition area. The number one seed, but when they met their God team, they were simply defeated.
In terms of comprehensive capabilities, MLG's tactics, operations and coordination are already inferior to God's.
Then, the mid laner Spoon, who is the main core, met the first mid laner "Star King" Dawn Morning Star in their national LPL, which was also a bit shorter.
It even happens that MLG's bot lane is a shortcoming, and God's bot lane is another core carry point in God's team that is almost tied with Dawn Morning Star.
Compare this way.
It's almost impossible to see the slightest possibility that their God team will lose!
Zeng Rui, Li Shiyi, Lin Feng and others were also chatting and discussing the topic of the competition later in the front-row auditorium under the stage of the competition venue.
"If it was before yesterday, maybe God's state would really make people a little worried."
"but-"
Speaking of which, Li Shiyi paused and sighed sincerely:
"It's really what Senior No. 1 said last night. The effect is too crucial."
Zeng Rui next to him nodded solemnly:
"Um."
"If the mentality is completely adjusted back, then in today's game, God must be stable!"
At the same time, the official commentators of the three national costumes, Lao Mi, Mo Sheng and Feiyan, were also analyzing the next group of eight matchups, although they said there was no doubt about it. The position is on the side of their own God team, but the three still made an evaluation of the MLG team as objectively as possible:
"We can say that the God team has a good chance of winning this group of games, but we can't underestimate the opponent too lightly."
"Yes, after all, as the number one seed in this year's LCS division, MLG may even be slightly stronger than the Legend team in terms of strength and form."
"And as Europe's top seven king-level mid laner, MLG's Spoon's personal strength should not be underestimated. The focus of this group's matchup may be the confrontation between the two players in the middle lane. If Spoon has a certain advantage rhythm, Then there is still a certain risk on God's side."
The same opinions and evaluations are also being exchanged with several European and American commentators on the official commentary platform on the scene.
In the front row of the audience, the players and players of the various teams and clubs nodded slightly in agreement.
They acknowledge the strength of God's team.
It also recognizes the strength of Dawn Morning Star.
But after all, the duel between the top mid laners is not a result of theoretical research based on paper strength. Even if Spoon's ability is slightly inferior to that of Dawn Morning Star, it really does play out... The outcome is still not guaranteed. To draw a conclusion so early.
Only Lin Feng, who was sitting with a few companions in the front row, still had a nonchalant expression on his face.
Analysis of those commentators on stage—
Can't say anything wrong.
Spoon's strength level, his old opponent also knows.
But it is precisely because of this that he can make the conclusion with more certainty:
Today's matchup.
MLG and Spoon are sure to lose.
…
Nine o'clock sharp.
The first group of BO5 matches of the quarter-finals knockout officially kicked off.
In the competition room on the stage, ten players from the God and MLG teams took their seats in front of their respective computer screens.
In the God team's competition room, several main players were taking deep breaths to adjust their status. Huangxue Yege glanced at the lively and noisy auditorium under the stage, and the corners of his mouth twitched:
"Tsk, we're the first shot of the quarter-finals—"
"Why do you have to make a good start for the LPL division, right?"
This statement came out.
Several other God team members responded in good spirits, and their morale gradually rose.
Sitting in the middle single seat in front of the computer screen, Dawn Morning Star closed his eyes slightly, then slowly opened his eyes, the eyes in his eyes suddenly became sharp and bright at this moment:
"So… "
"Just show them."
"The true state of the God-Hand of God now!"
next moment.
The whole team of God complied with a bang.
At the same time, along with the applause and cheers of the audience, the ban selection interface for the first match of BO5 appeared on the screen of the giant LCD viewing screen on the stage, and the game officially started.
After a full three and a half hours.
Even more sensational to boiling, the entire Pullman venue thundered with applause and cheers swept the venue straight to the dome.
A "victory" emblem appeared in the center of the giant LCD screen on the stage.
Announcing the end of the first group match on the first day of the quarter-finals.
God - Hand of God.
