Chapter 223 Opponent Flash Wolves, First MSI Match!

The other two people who were on the commentary seat with Changmao were Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan.

As soon as the two appeared in the camera, the live broadcast room was immediately flooded with bullet screens of [Yan Jia Guan Shouting].

There was no way, when Guan Zeyuan and Su Xiaoyan were present at the same time, this idiom would definitely appear.

In the commentary seat, after talking about SKT for a long time.

In the background, there was a sudden cheering sound that seemed to be from the audience.

Obviously, the players of the two teams in the opening match had already appeared and sat down.

"The game seems to be about to start!" Changmao said loudly.

"Let's look forward to the opening match of the 2017 Mid-Season Championship, G2 vs. SKT!"

After that, the live broadcast screen began to play the pre-recorded short films of each team.

First, the short film of G2 was played.

Then the short film of SKT was played.

When the live screen appeared again, the live broadcast camera had already switched from the commentary seat to the commentary seat.

"Okay, everyone, welcome to the 2017 MSI. We are now in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!"

"Hello, I am the commentator Wawa!"

"I am the commentator Miller!"

"Today, the two of us will bring you the commentary of the first three group stage BO1 games!"

There will be a total of six group stage BO1 games on the first day of MSI.

The LPL has arranged two groups of commentators, one for the first three games and the other for the last three games.

Since SKT played in the first game and LGD played in the second game.

In addition, the time for the first two games in China has not yet reached the time of the underworld.

This has led to the first two group matches being very popular in China.

The LPL official naturally arranged Miller, the oldest and still the most popular commentator, as the first group of commentators today.

Responsible for commentating the first three games.

Adjusting his glasses, Wawa continued, "Today's first game, the three commentators just talked so much, and it was very hard."

"In fact, for these two teams, first of all, G2 has been at its peak since its debut, and it has been at its peak for a year and a half, winning three consecutive championships in the EU division!"

When Wawa said this, the live camera just moved from the commentary seat to the scene.

And coincidentally, when Wawa said "peak at debut", the camera just happened to be given to Faker who was moving his wrist.

As for "peak at debut", is there anyone in the LOL circle who fits this sentence better than Faker?

After Wawa Miller talked nonsense again, the BP of this MSI opening game finally started.

G2 and SKT are playing on the field, and the other four teams have already arrived at the scene.

At this moment, they are all watching the game in the backstage lounge.

Especially LGD.

Everyone in the team is watching this opening game seriously.

The reason is also very simple.

The version used in this MSI is version 7.8.

All participating teams, except for TSM, FW, and GAM, which made it to the play-in round.

The other three teams, SKT, G2, and LGD, have not played official games in this version.

LGD's opponent, Flash Wolves, played in the play-in round and have experience in playing official games in the new version.

LGD is a bit disadvantaged in this regard.

Therefore, the opening game between SKT and G2 is still of great reference value to LGD.

Soon, the BP of both sides was completed.

In this opening game, SKT selected Galio, who had just been reworked not long ago.

The name of the hero also changed from "Sentinel's Sorrow" to "War Colossus".

At this time point, Galio, who had just been reworked, can play in the top lane and the middle lane.

Sometimes in the BP, Galio will also be used to swing.

However, in the end, most of them played in the top lane, and the number of times they played in the middle lane was less.

Like this game, as SKT selected Syndra on the fifth floor of the red side.

It was also confirmed that SKT's Galio was the top Galio.

BP was completed, and the game officially started.

In this opening game, although Faker gave away the first blood in less than a minute of the game.

But in the end, SKT still played steadily and won the game steadily after 40 minutes of fierce fighting.

In terms of hard power, SKT is indeed much stronger than G2.

However, this game also revealed something.

That is, G2 is really not weak, and it must be taken seriously.

At least Zhou Dian, who was watching the game in the backstage lounge, thought so.

After watching the opening game, Zhou Dian got up from the chair and moved his body and the joints of his neck and wrists.

The opening game was over, and it was LGD's turn to play soon.

The break between games was not long.

It didn't take long before a staff member came to inform the LGD players to prepare to go on stage.

"Okay, everyone, welcome back!"

In the LPL official live broadcast room, the live scene reappeared.

The first to appear in the camera were naturally the three commentators.

"I believe our LPL audience, especially those who are looking forward to LGD's appearance, will be LGD's first show in the Mid-Season Championship!"

After a pause, Guan Zeyuan continued: "I just looked at the big screen at the scene and saw that the LGD players are already sitting on the field."

"This first game, I believe it is the same for every team. They all hope to win, get off to a good start, and boost morale!"

"."

After nearly six minutes of chatting, the players on the field have completed the relevant pre-match preparations such as equipment debugging.

The live camera also shifted from the commentary seat to the commentary seat.

"Okay, thank you all for the pre-match analysis."

"In fact, this game, LGD vs. Flash Wolves, we have been waiting for a long time!"

Pushing his glasses, Wawa continued: "But I think everyone should not give LGD too much pressure."

Wawa started with a classic sentimental paragraph.

"I think the first game must be played well, and we must win to gain confidence!" Miller followed.

He did not ignore the essence of "strength speaks" in e-sports.

If you can't win the game, no matter how much you talk, it's all nonsense.

Soon, the BP interface appeared on the big screen at the scene.

"Okay, the LGD vs. Flash Wolves match has started, let's see the BP!"

"LGD has the right to choose the side in this match, and they chose the blue side on their own initiative!"

In the first match, LGD chose the blue side steadily.

It's a match against Flash Wolves, and it's not a life-and-death match, so LGD doesn't need to use the killer move of "actively choosing the red side".

In addition, DGC has studied a lot of Flash Wolves' matches.

It turns out that the Flash Wolves and EDG are really similar.

It seems that the rumors that the two teams often play training matches together are indeed true.

Anyway, when Flash Wolves are on the red side, it's exactly the same as when EDG is on the red side.

The fifth floor counter position is basically reserved for the mid laner.

Don't even think about the counter position for the top laner.

That is to say, even on the blue side, Zhou Dian can definitely play heroes after Flash Wolves' top laner MMD.

BP begins.

The first round of BP.

LGD banned Syndra, Leblanc, and Zyra.

Flash Wolves banned Graves, Karma, and Fiora.

"Hey, LGD banned Maple's Syndra right away."

"Syndra is a hero that Maple has a 100% win rate on for now, so we really need to respect it!" Miller said.

"And Leblanc, they are also some of Maple's best mid-lane assassin heroes!" Wawa followed.

"Yes, when LGD plays Flash Wolves, they must ban the rhythm points in the middle lane. This is very important because LGD is not actually focusing on the mid-jungle linkage."

"And then they also cut off the mid-jungle linkage that Flash Wolves is best at!"

"But Flash Wolves' first two bans seem to have studied LGD very deeply!"

After seeing Flash Wolves ban Graves and Karma in succession, Miller couldn't help but frown slightly.

These two bans are indeed targeted at LGD.

Today's LGD, jungle Graves and mid-lane Karma, if you get any one, the whole game will be much more comfortable.

If you get both, it can basically be said to be a sure win.

"Finally, LGD banned Zyra, a very strong support in the bottom lane."

"Flash Wolves banned Fiora. I don't need to say much about the level of Zhou Shen's Fiora, right? Generally, no team will release it!"

After the first three bans.

LGD directly locked Ashe on the first floor of the blue side.

"As soon as Ashe is picked, there is no problem!"

"Then Flash Wolves directly broke up the combination of Ashe and Grasshopper!"

"Grasshopper is also a support that Snake likes to use very much!"

Snake is the nickname of Flash Wolves' support SwordArt.

LPL commentators and Taiwan commentators usually call SwordArt "Snake" when commenting on Flash Wolves' games.

After LGD picked Ashe.

Flash Wolves immediately took Malzahar on the first floor of the red side.

Then, Flash Wolves quickly locked Lee Sin on the second floor.

This Lee Sin, Karsa chose with great confidence.

"Karsa really likes to use Lee Sin, so Eimy can use Elise, which is a counter to Lee Sin."

As soon as Miller finished speaking, LGD showed Elise on the second floor of the blue side.

However, they did not lock it down for a long time, and it was obvious that they were still hesitating.

In the end, LGD still chose Elise in the jungle position.

"In this case, it is a bit difficult to choose the support!" Miller began to frown again.

"I think you can choose MF, and there is no other support to choose!" Wawa said immediately.

In the game between SKT and G2 just now, SKT's bottom lane duo Bang and Wolf chose a combination of Ashe and Miss Fortune.

Miss Fortune, as a support, made its debut in the classic semi-final between SKT and ROX in the S6 World Finals last year, and it amazed the world.

After that, Miss Fortune almost became a semi-regular support.

Many support players will practice Miss Fortune support.

Hearing Wawa's opinion, Miller immediately said: "Does PYL use Miss Fortune a lot? I don't think he does!"

PYL not only doesn't use Miss Fortune a lot, he has never played Miss Fortune as a support in a game.

Although he has practiced Miss Fortune a little in the ranking.

But this proficiency is not enough to support PYL to use Miss Fortune as a support in an important MSI group match.

Finally, after showing Nami, Braum, Tam and other support heroes in succession.

LGD chose Taliyah on the third floor of the blue side.

First, the mid laner will be selected, and the support will be selected in the second round.

Afterwards, Flash Wolves took Varus on the third floor of the red side.

At this point, the first round of BP is over.
