Chapter 321 Set Out to Taiwan Province to Participate in the First Asian Competition!
At the end of the game, everyone in LGD took off their headphones and stood up from their seats.
Then PYL took the lead, and the five LGD players shook hands with the opponents DAN players one by one.
When holding DAN to assist the Cat King.
PYL suddenly remembered the "Three Yellow Stars" hit by Thresh in the previous game.
He didn't hold back for a moment and laughed out loud.
The Cat King pouted, frowned, and shook hands with everyone in LGD.
After shaking hands, Zhou Dian and his teammates came to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.
In the commentary box.
"Congratulations to LGD for winning this game 2-0."
"Congratulations to LGD!"
I remember going on to say: "The second game that just ended lasted less than 24 minutes. I haven't checked it yet, but it should be the shortest game in this year's LPL summer split."
"This should be possible!" PDD nodded, "But look at the head ratio in this game, ah! 14 to 0, DAN didn't get a single head, which is a bit exaggerated."
"Fortunately, I picked a female policeman in the bottom lane and polished off LGD's first tower in the bottom lane. Otherwise, this game would have been beaten into Linglong Tower (Zero Dragon Tower), which would have been embarrassing for Dafa."
At this time, remember to ask: "Who does Mr. Park think will be the MVP of this set? Everyone in LGD played very well in this set."
"I think Zhou Shen's Sword Princess should still be given to Zhou Shen. Although LGD had an overall advantage in this round, Sword Princess's two moves were still very impressive."
Pushing up his glasses, PDD continued: "Then again, in fact, this game is more of a team victory for LGD!"
"From resisting pressure in the bottom lane, to the jungle gank in the early stage, to the support in the middle, everyone performs their own duties and fully utilizes the pre-game deployment and what this lineup should produce."
At this time, the MVP of the second game was displayed on the big screen at the scene.
As expected, it was given to Zhou Dian's Sword Princess.
"After returning from the MSI championship, Zhou Shen's state, including the good state of the entire LGD team, continues!"
"This LGD team did not have the previous two MSI champions and is in a weak state in the summer split. I am looking forward to LGD's remaining games this year!" I remember saying.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too!" PDD followed.
at the same time.
Backstage of the venue, in the LGD lounge.
Dgc is all smiles.
PDD's sentence "LGD's game is more of a team victory."
He couldn't agree more.
League of Legends is a true team game.
If you just gather five people to play a game, you can't make them into a team.
Even if the personal strength of these five people is very strong, it will be difficult to achieve good results.
Of course, the team's victory is also inseparable from the individual performance of the players.
These are complementary and not conflicting.
Zhou Dian, Eimy, and Wei Shen, who came back from the main stage, were all slapped on the shoulders by Dgc.
As for imp and PYL, they went for post-game interviews.
In the last LPL game before the intercontinental competition, they swept a good opponent 2-0. It can be seen that Dgc is very happy.
Mainly because of this game, he, as the head coach, made a lot of contributions to BP.
There has to be some sense of participation.
Otherwise, what if the audience and fans say that the LGD coach wears a dog crown?
Everyone in LGD waited in the lounge for a while.
When imp and PYL came back from the post-game interview, they started packing their things and getting ready to return to the base.
LGD's match against DAN was the last game of today's match day.
LGD won the game 2-0, and both games didn't take long.
Therefore, it was not yet eight o'clock in the evening, and the July sky was not completely dark yet.
After packing up their personal belongings, everyone in LGD left the competition venue and boarded the return bus.
The next day, Sunday, July 2nd.
Because I am about to leave for Tiwan Province to participate in the intercontinental competition.
There are no training tasks arranged by Dgc today. The LGD players are playing ranked games on their own to maintain their feel.
The LPL summer regular season continues today.
But today there are only two BO3 games, not three games like previous Sundays.
Except LGD.
The other three teams in the LPL competing in the intercontinental competition all have games today.
After these two games, the LPL summer regular season will have to give way to the intercontinental competition, and it will not start again until eleven days later.
Today's first BO3 match is between NB and WE.
In NB's last game, the bottom lane pair of Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong took the bench, and the starting bottom lane pair was replaced by Death Announcement and Natural Disaster Doomsday.
Team NB defeated IM with a clean 2-0.
Today's game was once again unexpected. NB defeated WE, currently the first team in Group A and the runner-up in the Spring Split, with a score of 2-1.
In these three games, the aircraft mid laner, who has recently become popular in the pub game, has appeared.
Among them, Xiye chose two, and NB mid laner CoCo chose one.
In these three sets, the aircraft's performance was remarkable.
In this BO3, WE's bottom lane Mystic and Ben seemed to be out of shape. They lost two games, and both bottom lanes were suppressed by NB's bottom lane.
After the game between NB and WE, today’s second game is also the last game before the LPL’s short ten-day offseason.
A focused battle between RNG and EDG.
Unfortunately, Uzi is still absent from this game due to a hand injury.
Only the factory director, without Uzi, is not a complete pig-dog battle.
But this game is still one of the top three games in terms of ratings since the start of the summer split.
In today's game, Tong Yang (Koro1) did not get a chance to face his old club.
RNG's starting top laner is Letme.
EDG did not choose Mouse in the starting top lane, but sent out substitute top laner Audi.
The result of the game was equally unexpected. EDG swept and defeated RNG 2-0.
Although both games lasted more than forty minutes.
But the process of the game was not that anxious.
In both games, EDG is on the blue side, and both placed the top order first on the third floor.
Audi chose Qinggangying in the first game and Jianji in the second game.
Letme was a latecomer hero in both games, but was beaten to death by Audi.
Kled failed to defeat Qinggang Shadow in the first game, and Jace failed to defeat Sword Girl in the second game.
Whether it is Qinggangying or Sword Girl, with the single belt after the advantage, RNG is helpless today.
I don’t know if Rang Di received feedback from this BO3 or if his hands were shaking.
On EDG's side, in this BO3 with RNG, whether it is the hero choice of top laner Audi, or the tactical play style that is more inclined to the top lane.
In short, the audience exclaimed in surprise, is this still the EDG in my memory?
Many people are wondering, is Zhou Shen completely leading the LPL trend?
Even a team like EDG, which always acts like a dog and a tool in the top lane, has been affected and forced to focus on the top lane?
Of course, RNG fans were not convinced by the result of losing to EDG 0-2.
This is also normal. After all, Uzi's absence in this game is not a complete RNG.
Whether Uzi appears or not will have a huge impact on RNG.
However, whether you accept it or not, the result is determined.
This is what e-sports is like, if you lose, you lose.
Looking for excuses will only make you look like a sore loser.
In short, in the only match between the two teams in the summer regular season, EDG defeated RNG 2-0.
If RNG wants to regain its place, it will have to wait until the playoffs to see if it can meet EDG.
Also on this day, LGD officially announced the six-man roster for LGD to compete in the intercontinental competition.
Jungler Eimy, mid laner Wei Shen, bottom lane imp and PYL.
In the top lane position, he brought two people, Zhou Dian and Fawang.
Zhou Dian is the regular starter, with Fa Wang as the sixth man on the bench.
On July 3, they will take a flight to Gao Xiong City in Tiwan Province to participate in the first Asian Contest officially organized by Riot Games.
This Asian competition will start the group stage on July 6.
LGD's first game in this Asian competition will start on July 7.
LGD got a bye on the first day of the Intercontinental Tournament.
On the afternoon of July 3, at an airport in Shanghai.
All LGD personnel participating in this intercontinental competition are preparing to fly to Tiwan Province.
Together with the other three LPL teams participating in this intercontinental competition.
Members of several teams met at the airport. Many of the players were familiar with each other and chatted one after another.
Zhou Dian also saw many familiar faces, such as Qi Jiang.
For example - Uzi.
Indeed, as RNG officials said, Uzi will complete his recovery from injury in this intercontinental competition.
While waiting to board the plane, Zhou Dian was bored and just browsed the forums.
Let’s see what the masses think of this intercontinental competition.
The Intercontinental Series is a new event officially added by Riot Games this year, referred to as the Intercontinental Series.
Teams from 13 divisions around the world are divided into 5 different continental competitions.
Including Asian rivalry, European and American rivalry, South American rivalry, Russian-Turkish rivalry, and Pacific rivalry.
The only ones participating in the Asian competition are the LPL division.
There are also LCK and LMS divisions.
Each of the three divisions will send the top four teams in this year's league spring split to participate.
The participating teams in the LPL division are LGD, WE, RNG, and EDG.
The participating teams in the LCK division are SKT, KT, SSG, and MVP.
The participating teams in the provincial team LMS division are Flash Wolves, AHQ, JT, and M17.
In terms of competition system, the Asian Competition will bring some new changes compared to the traditional competition system in the past.
The concept of "region" as a whole will be emphasized during the competition.
The final championship glory will also belong to the "division".
The entire event consists of three stages: group stage, semi-finals, and finals.
The group stage adopts a BO1 single round-robin format, with each division playing against other divisions once. The top team in the group stage will directly qualify for the finals.
The second and third ranked divisions advance to the semi-finals.
When the schedule enters the semi-finals, the game becomes interesting.
Because the semifinals and finals will adopt the "BO5 relay match" format, the order of the battles will be determined by the coaching teams of both sides.
In the first four rounds of BO5, all teams from both sides need to appear.
So, this competition system can be understood as a relay race consisting of 5 BO1s.
At this time, the global pattern of League of Legends is still dominated by LCK, and all regions have a consensus, that is:
You may beat the Korean team in BO1, but it is too difficult to beat the Korean team in BO5.
Even in this year's Brazil MSI, LGD defeated SKT in the finals to win the championship.
But this is just a BO5.
In the past few years, the dominance of the LCK team in the S game.
Let this concept still be deeply rooted in the audience of other regions.
This is not something that LGD can break by winning a BO5.
It requires more and more teams in the LPL region to be able to beat the LCK team in the BO5 of international competitions.
Back to this Asian confrontation.
In this competition system that can be described as "every game is BO1", it seems much easier for other regions to beat LCK.
Then, this intercontinental competition will inevitably involve an unavoidable topic.
Tian Ji horse racing!
