Chapter 415 The First Round of Group Matches Is Over
After the game, the big screen on the scene quickly showed the wonderful footage of the game between LGD and C9.
The highlights were almost all LGD's.
C9's performance in this game was indeed lackluster, and there was really nothing to be praised.
Starting from Eimy's Prince crossing the tower to help Jayce get the first blood, LGD's offensive was linked together, and the series of chain reactions brought about made C9 breathless.
This BO1 group match with C9 also fully demonstrated the current LGD's offensive characteristics.
The starting point of the attack is usually the jungler Eimy, but the offensive core of this LGD is definitely Zhou Dian in the top lane.
"Okay, let's see the MVP of this game!"
"It goes to Zhou Shen's Jayce." Miller said, "He deserves it. Zhou Shen's Jayce in this game showed an extremely high level in laning, support and teamfighting."
Wawa smiled and said, "I saw that Jayce, Fiora and Shen are called Zhou Shen's three ultimate heroes online. They are the best of the best. It seems that they are not wrong at all!"
"And have you noticed?" Miller followed, "Now the mainstream top laners who are more tool-like, Jayce is very easy to play!"
"I saw that in the recent rankings, many top laners participating in this world championship are playing Jayce. It feels that Zhou Shen's Jayce will be difficult to release later!"
"What does it matter? Zhou Shen knows too many heroes!" Wawa said with a smile, "Even if you don't know, you can practice. Everyone knows how fast Zhou Shen practices heroes. It's quite fast."
Luckily, Zhou Dian has stepped down and is preparing for the post-match interview. Otherwise, he would be a little embarrassed to hear Wawa Miller and the others praising him so exaggeratedly.
I can only say that our commentators and audiences are always like this. If they play well, they will praise them wildly. If they play badly, they will criticize them wildly.
They rarely look at the performance of the players objectively and dialectically.
Of course, in the final analysis, the entire LOL-related project is just a form of entertainment.
Since it is entertainment, everyone is happy.
Just do your best and don't care what others say.
Anyway, the LGD players are still resistant to the public opinion environment. They are all people who have tried their best to be criticized.
Hey, you can criticize as much as you want, but do you want me to break my defense?
Impossible!
In the post-match interview, as the MVP of this game, Zhou Dian was invited to accept the post-match interview of his own LPL division.
The other LGD players went to other divisions for post-match interviews.
The post-match interview of the global finals is actually not much different from that of the usual league. Zhou Dian's answer is as stable as always, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Finally, after thanking the audience again, Zhou Dian stepped down and returned to the backstage lounge.
After the other teammates who were interviewed after the game came back, they could pack up and prepare to go back to the hotel.
The camera turned back to the commentary booth again, and the two commentators announced tomorrow's schedule.
"WE and RNG will play in tomorrow's game. The first group match will be at 3 pm tomorrow. WE will play against Flash Wolves. See you there!"
"Thank you again to the audience at the scene and in front of the screen. See you tomorrow!"
On the bus back to the hotel, Zhou Dian took out his mobile phone and surfed the Internet for a while, and looked at the relevant comments on LGD on the Internet after today's game.
It is impossible to say that a player does not care about the public opinion environment he is in.
With today's overwhelming victory over C9, some of the criticisms against LGD after losing to SKT yesterday have been temporarily eliminated.
Winning is boasting and losing is hating, which is indeed one of the only two truths in e-sports.
The other truth is naturally "being bad is the original sin"!
Back to the hotel, after dinner and supper, DGC did not arrange any training tasks for the rest of the day, and the players arranged it themselves.
It's OK to stay in the hotel to play ranked games, or go out for a walk.
This is not because the coaches and players are too lax, but because after today's game with C9, the date of LGD's next game is too long.
There is a full eight days between the two games, and it is impossible to keep the players in the training room for such a long time.
We still need to pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
The first round of the group stage is four match days, with three groups playing every day, a total of six BO1 games.
In the second round of the group stage, although there are also four match days and six games a day, there is only one group game every day.
The two places for the quarterfinals of the group will be decided on the same day, and extra games will be played if necessary.
LGD is in Group A, and there are Group A games in the first three days of the first round.
Group A is the earliest group to finish the first three group matches of the first round, one day earlier than the other three groups.
In the second round of the group stage, Group A's games were scheduled for the last day.
There are four days of rest between the first and second rounds of the group stage.
This time the interval is longer.
Today is October 7th. LGD finished their first three group matches. The next match of Group A will be on the 15th.
Being in the last group to play has some advantages.
In the meantime, you can watch the matches of other groups.
Especially in the second round of the group stage, the more life-or-death games are played, the more likely some teams will come up with some so-called "big moves".
When these big moves are used, sometimes they still cannot avoid being beaten by others, and may even have a counter-effect and accelerate their own defeat.
But sometimes, these big moves can have a miraculous effect, making the weak beat the strong, and making it out of the group stage and into the quarterfinals when it is not optimistic about the team.
This has happened many times in the history of the global finals.
Even some teams that were not optimistic about the group stage not only miraculously qualified from the group stage, but also continued to advance in the knockout stage.
The "big moves" taken out by these teams can be absorbed and learned and transformed into their own things.
In fact, the short one-month schedule of the global finals, in addition to competing with the hard power of each team, is more about testing the learning ability of all teams.
Because each global finals is a new version, this version has no game data.
What heroes are really powerful, what lineups are really useful, and what heroes are actually version traps, all of these need to be slowly explored in the game.
The so-called training through competition is nothing more than this.
Learning fast, improving fast, and absorbing fast can go further than other teams.
This is also the reason why the coaching team is more important in larger League of Legends competitions.
In the early years, the LPL team was completely defeated by the LCK team, and the coaching team was also a major factor.
Those domestic coaches of the early LPL teams were really like ordering takeout, and they were useless.
October 8th, the last day of the National Day holiday in 2017, was also the last match day of the first round of the group stage of this year's World Finals.
At 3 pm, WE played against Flash Wolves.
With LPL teams playing, the venue was naturally full.
After losing to TSM yesterday, WE's group qualifying situation became less optimistic.
After all, although Group D where WE is located does not have any top-level strong teams, it does not have the kind of weak teams that can get whatever they want. It is a group with relatively balanced strength.
So any point is very important.
It does not mean that if you lose a point today, you can get it back from another weak team in the same group tomorrow.
For WE, this game against Flash Wolves is a game that cannot be lost.
If you lose, the subsequent qualifying situation will be extremely passive.
In the end, WE lived up to expectations and won the game in just over 30 minutes.
The game situation was in WE's hands from beginning to end, and it was an easy win over Flash Wolves.
Flash Wolves lost all three games in the first round of the group stage after losing this game.
Flash Wolves' hope of qualifying from the group was basically sentenced to death.
Moreover, the significance of Flash Wolves losing this game is more than that.
It also symbolizes the complete decline of the LMS region.
This year's Taiwan region lost to the wildcard team in the global finals, and was eliminated in the play-in round, which was a loss of face for them as one of the five major mainstream regions.
Then in the first round of the group stage, the first seed of the Taiwan region, Flash Wolves, and the second seed AHQ, did not win any of the six games, and they were defeated.
It seems that the LMS region will miss the quarterfinals again this year.

On the online forum of Taiwan, fans of LMS were wailing.
They missed the quarterfinals of the S-League for two consecutive years, and the teams in the region did not show any competitiveness.
If this continues, Riot will probably consider canceling the LMS region.
Or the LMS region will be kicked out of the five major regions.
The glory that TPA, the champion of S2, won for the LMS region in the end was like smoke and disappeared.
Except for Taiwan, no one cares about the rise and fall of their region.
Everyone is busy caring about the affairs of their own region.
After WE's game, the second seed of Europe, the rabbit team MSF, defeated the first seed of North America, TSM.
Before the group stage, the rabbit team was considered the weakest in Group D. After the first round, the record was two wins and one loss, the same as WE.
This made many fans of other regions pay attention to this European team that was only established this year.
After the Rabbit Team MSF beat TSM, the commentators and fans of the European Division naturally posted EU>NA on social media.
It is an old tradition for the two major divisions of Europe and North America to mock each other, just like the mutual mockery between the Chinese and Korean divisions.
Then there are two games in Group B.
The second seed IMT from North America defeated GAM from Vietnam, and the group stage record came to two wins and one loss.
And the No. 1 seed of LCK, the top favorite to win the world finals, Longzhu Team, easily defeated FNC.
How easy was it?
The game took just over 20 minutes, and Longzhu hit FNC's ultimate Linglong Tower.
In this game, FNC had 0 kills, 0 dragons, and 0 towers, and was shaved bald by the ultimate.
This is not the most humiliating thing. Longzhu's top laner Khan actually chose Nasus in this game, which was considered a mockery by many viewers.
But to be honest, Nasus's selection was quite effective.
In this game, Khan picked Nasus and completely beat the top laner Treant.
This made many LPL viewers say that the Korean team seemed to really understand the game.
But many LPL viewers said that the gap between the two teams was too big. Khan, let alone playing Nasus as the top laner, would be able to easily beat them even if he chose Teemo as the top laner.
In the final analysis, in a game version where Nasus is basically invisible, choosing Nasus in a big competition is somewhat disrespectful to the opponent's top laner.
To put it bluntly, they really didn't regard the opponent's top laner as their opponent.
After this game, FNC lost all three group matches and was on the verge of elimination.
This made the North American fans vent their anger.
Because the North American team IMT in the same group currently has two wins and one loss, ranking second in the group, and is expected to qualify.
So after the European fans mocked the North American fans for two hours, the North American fans mocked them back.
The official commentators of both sides were all on the field, tweeting and teasing, and having a lot of fun.
If this happened in the LPL, the official commentators would definitely be beaten by the fans if they came out to lead the rhythm.
It can only be said that in the LPL, some team fans are seriously fan-circled.
There was a strange thing that happened when a team lost the game when he was commentating on it, so many fans of the team asked the commentator not to comment on their home team's games in the future.
For such fans, it is recommended to burn two incense sticks and pray when their home team plays in the future, maybe it will work.
Or retake the nine-year compulsory education course to cleanse your brain.
After the two games of Group B, the two games of Group C followed.
First, Samsung and the wild card team FB fought back and forth, and fought for 50 minutes before turning the tables and winning.
In the end, when Samsung pushed down FB's main base, the economy was still behind the opponent.
So after the traditional programs in the European and American regions, the LPL audience also started their own traditional programs - mocking LCK harshly.
After all, we are all human beings, there is no difference.
Then RNG also fought hard and defeated G2.
Xiaohu played a mid-lane Jayce in this game, and he was also selected as a counter-opponent.
As a result, in the 45-minute game, only 15,000 damage was dealt.
It was not as high as the damage dealt by Jayce in the 20-minute match between LGD and C9 yesterday.
In this game, Uzi's Rat carried Xiaohu and flew with him, and the damage was more than three times that of Xiaohu.
But at least they beat G2, and RNG's group stage record came to three wins and zero losses.
So not many people pursued some of Xiaohu's problems in these games.
Occasionally someone would say something, but they would be caught and sprayed by RNG fans, so naturally no one would mention it again.
Anyway, RNG fans are immersed in the excitement of the current three wins and zero losses in the group stage.
Fans of other teams don't need to make themselves unhappy.
Anyway, they are all LPL teams, and everyone is happy with a good record.
In this year's local global finals, the fans of LPL are indeed unprecedentedly united.
In fact, for the fan groups within each division, the fans of each team can only share the hardships, not the happiness.
When no one has any achievements, everyone is friendly and treats each other as brothers.
Once a team has achieved results, their fans will naturally look down on fans of other teams.
At that time, I don’t know how many extremely childish speech liquidation incidents will occur on the Internet.
In the two world championships of S5 and S6, LPL’s performance was extremely poor, so that every time there was a foreign war, the fans of LPL were quite united.
As for the future, it is hard to say.
