SSK's clear and unabashed attitude like this is enough to irritate many people.
The main core ace leader F-Han Shihao did not play, and only let the second team's mid laner play off the bench—
Although it is said that being able to be selected as the second team's mid laner of the SSK team is by no means an easy one, it may be enough to be the main core of the first team in other teams, but after all, such a second team mid laner, There is still a certain gap between it and the real top seven kings and even the four emperors' mid laners in the world.
And this is MSI.
It is the most important international event so far, second only to the S-League in terms of size and weight.
With such a frivolous and sloppy attitude, your SSK team has underestimated the heroes of the world.
Everyone has this mindset.
can be -
The vast majority of people can't make too many accusations and criticisms of the SSK team.
Because facts speak louder than words.
If the SSK team with such a non-full main lineup, the record in the first round of the MSI group stage is not satisfactory, then outside commentators and even the teams in the major regions can naturally take this to express their attitude towards the SSK team. criticism.
However, after the first round of the group stage, SSK's record is 4 wins and 1 loss.
Only lost one game.
In other words, even if their mid-laner was a second-team player, they still won the victory calmly when facing the world's top teams in Europe, North America and Taiwan.
Under such a premise, if you still want to criticize the attitude of SSK, it will be a bigger mockery of MLG, Assassin and Season—
SSK didn't even send Han Shihao, you can't beat it.
If Han Shihao came out, what would you do
Therefore, it can be seen that at the end of the first round of the group stage, whether MLG, Assassin or Season, or players, fans and even professional commentators in Europe, North America and Taiwan, all maintained a rare state of silence.
Skills are not as good as others, as losers, they really have nothing to say, they can only grit their teeth and admit their grievances.
but.
They can't speak, but there are still people who have the qualifications to speak.
That is the only God-Hand of God who ended the first round of the group stage with a complete victory and defeated the SSK team.
…
The first BO1 match between God and SSK in the group stage lasted 34 minutes from start to finish.
In the face of the incomplete SSK team that did not send Han Shihao to the middle lane, God-Hand of God played a complete team and played a classic God-style game with all-out attitude. Contest.
Up and down Yesuke, the fierce competition of the four positions, refused to give an inch.
The most important thing is in the middle. As the team leader of God's team, Dawn Morning Star faced the second team of the SSK team, and he showed his style as the strongest in the LPL and even the second in the world today.
Line compression.
Wander suppression.
The winner of the team battle.
The final MVP was also given to the mid laner Jayce of Dawn Morning Star in this game.
There is no doubt that it can be said that in this game, the God team won very beautifully, and the key factor to win this game lies in the strength gap between the mid laners of the two sides.
So-
The outside world, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't wait to have something to say.
have a look!
It's your SSK attitude that is contemptuous and conceited, and you didn't send Han Shihao to play, which made the gap in the middle the main culprit affecting the outcome of this game.
Otherwise, if the mid-unit matchup in this round is the duel between Han Shihao and Dawn Chenxing, not to mention whether SSK can 100% turn a defeat into a victory, at least, it will never lose so much without a chance of recovery.
Some more radical commentators made assertions directly on the Internet:
"This may just be the beginning."
"It's a warning."
"If SSK can't learn a lesson from such a defeat and continue to be obsessed, then they will only continue to experience bad consequences!"
…
And SSK is still going its own way and going its own way.
The second round of the MSI group stage begins.
The battle situation became more stalemate and fierce than the first round.
The representative team in the wild card division is destined to be at the bottom, and there is no suspense to be eliminated from the game, but the other remaining elimination places, but for the time being, it is not easy to tell the ending.
The three representative teams from North America, Europe, and Taiwan have a record of 2 wins and 3 losses in the first round of the group stage.
On to the second round.
It was still a stalemate between the three of them.
This time it was a round. The opponents who defeated each other in the first round defeated themselves in this round, and the team they lost to in the first round regained their place from the opponent in this round.
It is still the same 1 win and 1 loss for the three teams at the same time.
In the face of wild cards, they all take another win.
Another 2 wins and 1 loss.
Then-
On to God-Hand of God and the SSK team.
The two strongest spring teams from LPL and LCK, respectively, continued to achieve complete victories in the second round of confrontations against teams from the other four major regions.
In particular, the SSK team on the LCK side continued to insist on not sending Han Shihao to play in the second round of the group stage, but after two rounds of nine games, they continued to maintain an amazing record of 8 wins and 1 loss.
It also continued to eliminate most of the outside world's critical voices.
but.
In the last match, the team faced God again. After 32 minutes of fierce battle, SSK lost again.
The two-round group stage record was finally locked at 8 wins and 2 losses.
In other words-
Against God-Hand of God, SSK lost both games in the group stage.
"Should!"
Many people who were dissatisfied with SSK's arrogant attitude felt extremely relieved.
On the other hand, the majority of players and fans of the national service are already ecstatic:
All ten battles!
Their God-Hand of God achieved a perfect record in the group stage of MSI!
It really showed the absolute dominance comparable to the LPL spring split in the national service!
Following this momentum...
The MSI championship this time is almost at your fingertips!
…
In the end, after a play-off, the semi-finals of the MSI semi-finals were finalized.
The Assassin team was unfortunately eliminated in the end, and the final list was set for the MLG team, the Season team, the God team and the SSK team.
The first half of the competition.
Season vs God - Hand of God.
The second half of the competition.
MLG vs SSK.
Then.
It is the two groups of exciting and exciting BO5 battles.
In the end, God-Hand of God defeated the Season team 3-0 and advanced to the final.
SSK defeated MLG 3-1 and also advanced.
Even at this semi-final stage, I never expected that the SSK team would still put their own world No. 1 mid laner on the bench and never played, and it was also amazing, even if they continued to insist on using a second team Shan, SSK still has such a strong strength and passed the threshold of the final.
but-
Compared to such SSK.
The momentum of the God-Hand of God at the moment is completely unstoppable.
