LOL: Super Esports Manager

Chapter 207 Focus Battle, LG vs. SKG
On the third match day of the MSI Mid-Season Championship, Group A ushered in the most critical focus battle.

Group A is the "death group" of this MSI. Any team in it will be able to qualify if placed in another group. However, these four legendary teams are assigned to a group.

Who can break out of the group of death, the answer has begun to be revealed.

The supernova LG team, which was not expected before the game, was the first to dominate the crowd with a 2-0 record.

Immediately afterwards, this year's MSI championship favorite, the super wealthy club, and last year's world championship champion SKG team also led the top of Group A with a score of 2-0 and LG.

With the current records and status of the four teams in Group A, the qualifying form is already clear. The only suspense is who can qualify as No.1 in the group of death!

This year's MSI follows the rules of the World Championship, and the top two of the four teams will qualify.

The two teams that qualify in the same group will be assigned to different theaters to ensure that they will not meet before the final.

Secondly, the opponent of No.1 in the group in the quarterfinals will be No.2 in another group.

Of course, Persimmon is picky. There is no doubt that No. 1 in the group has a very obvious advantage. After all, no one wants to meet a strong opponent before the finals and expose too many tactics.

The game of Group CD has not yet started. In Group B, the KKT team from the Vietnam division is the only one with 2-0, and the remaining three teams have a 1-1 record in a unified battle. From the first two games, it can be seen that KKT team is like a tiger in a herd of sheep in this group. Every game is a one-sided massacre, and the result is not suspenseful at all.

The first game this afternoon will be the battle for the top spot in the group between the favorites SKG and the super rookie LG in the LPL division.

The game received a lot of attention, and the venue tickets were sold out early, and even scalpers couldn't buy tickets.

Today's game has attracted much attention, and Chen Shu led the players to the venue early.

On the other hand, SKG also came very early. When passing through the backstage player channel, Chen Shu and the LG players happened to bump into SKG.

Chen Shu glanced at the SKG players and was suddenly taken aback.

SKG, which was in a sluggish state yesterday, is actually in a hot state today, especially the mid laner Fuker, who has fully recovered.

After recovering, Fuker's attributes have broken through again compared to the peak of last year's World Championship.

Chen Shu couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that yesterday's performance was too crazy and activated the opponent's hidden attributes?"

Looking at the lively SKG team in front of him, Chen Shu smiled.

"That's right!"

The regret of not being able to play against Peak SKG was swept away, and Chen Shu felt full of energy from head to toe.

Several sets of tactics prepared earlier can finally come in handy!
The two teams passed each other, and Chen Shu suddenly heard the opponent speak in broken Chinese.

"Challenger?"

"It's just a whimsical toad."

"Wait." Chen Shu waved his hand, and the team members stopped.

Turning around and looking at the SKG team that was about to leave, Chen Shu shouted angrily: "You are former champions, I can accept your high profile."

"But I will absolutely not allow you to insult my team and players."

"Now, apologise!"

The SKG team stopped, and a staff member who seemed to be a translator whispered a few words.

The coach of SKG walked out of the team and said slowly: "My players are just joking, I hope you don't take it seriously."

Chen Shu was already angry, gritted his teeth and said, "Apologize."

"I ask you to apologize, are you deaf?"

The coach of SKG was overwhelmed by Chen Shu's aura and fell into hesitation.

Fuker, the absolute core player of SKG, stepped out of the team and babbled a lot in Korean.

Although Chen Shu can't understand Korean, LG has two native Korean players.

TheShy's eyes gradually became cold, obviously angry.

Rookie frowned and said, "Fuker said it's okay to apologize, but only after we win the game."

"Player Fuker also said that we want to win, just like a dream."

After the rookie finished speaking, the expression on his face was ugly.

Arrogant Fuker, two words have angered the entire LG team.

"Very good." Chen Shu nodded heavily, and slowly said to Rookie: "Tell them, on the field, I hope they don't cry."

After Chen Shu finished speaking, he turned around and left, followed by the team members.

After rookie finished conveying the information, he quickly trotted back to the team.

"Coach, I want to play the enchantress." Rookie said slowly.

This was the first time that rookie asked to choose a hero before the game even started.

It seemed that Rookie was really angry this time.

"Yes." Chen Shu nodded, then looked at the other team members, "What about you, is there anything you want to use?"

JackeyLove spread his hands, and said without love: "My hero spoon, if you want to use Draven, you have to put it on the opposite side."

Xiao Ming, who is usually joking and joking, no longer had a smile on his face at this time, and said with a serious face: "Let's see what tactics to play. For the middle field, I can use roaming to cooperate with King Ning. If JK and Uzi want to play lane, it's fine. See them."

After Xiao Ming finished speaking, Chen Shu turned his head and looked at Uzi who was beside him.

JackeyLove was originally scheduled for this match, but SKG's attitude just now made Chen Shu very unhappy.

Chen Shu was thinking, should he go directly to Uzi to fight the line, and the third line will directly blow up.

Uzi seemed to see through Chen Shu's thoughts, and asked in confusion: "Coach, didn't you say that I will be the secret weapon, so I won't make it to the group stage?"

"If you want to go up, I can do it."

"never mind."

There is no need for Uzi to play in the mere group stage.

Chen Shu finally looked at King Ning and TheShy, and said slowly: "What I mean, if this one gets the enchantress and this one hits the middle field, what do you think?"

King Ning nodded and said, "Yes, the excavator, the monkey, the blind monk, and Viego, they can't finish moving."

TheShy smiled confidently.

"Ning to help Rookie, don't worry about me, I'll just grow."

Hearing the word development, Chen Shu was shocked.

I remember last time when TheShy said he wanted to develop, the opponent's top laner was 0-12.
TheShy said development, which means he has to be serious.

After a short break in the lounge, the staff came to inform that the players and coaches were ready to go on stage.

Chen Shu led the team members slowly towards the stage. When they passed by the LPL commentary booth, the three of them clenched their fists.

Chen Shu also smiled and clenched his fists, signaling them to rest assured.

The two teams entered the arena, and there were cheers one after another, but most of them were cheers from SKG.

Even if LG passed all the way through MSI this time, it is not a defeat.

But in front of the world champion, it is still not enough.

Before the game started, Chen Shu took a look at the approval ratings of the domestic live broadcast platforms.

The number of people who support LG's victory is less than 50%, only 47%.

This is still the support rate of his own competition area. Chen Shu dare not think of it as the support rate of the whole world.

After the two teams checked the equipment and confirmed that there was no problem with the equipment, the referee asked the coaches of both teams to come to the middle of the stage to guess coins.

The team that guesses the coin will have the priority to choose sides for this game.

When the SKG coach was still hesitant to guess, Chen Shu smiled slowly: "Let him choose first, so as not to make excuses after the game."

The SKG coach obviously couldn't understand Chinese, so he stood aside.

After the staff translated, the SKG coach suddenly said angrily: "Are you looking down on our team?"

The SKG coach is still clamoring, but his body is very honest.

Chen Shu originally thought that the opponent wanted to compete fairly with him, but what he heard was indeed what the referee said.

"SKG chose the blue side."

Looking at the dozen or so cameras around, Chen Shu gave up the idea of ​​putting the middle finger up.

Some people are really standing up and down.

Chen Shu is sure to win this battle!

With the current strength of LG, what about the peak SKG?
The coaches of the two sides returned to the players, and the director also informed the commentators of the competition areas in real time about the situation of the side selection.

At the LPL commentary seat, Zeyuan said with a face full of surprise: "Ah, news came from the director that Brother Chen gave up the coin toss and gave up the right to choose the side to SKG..."

Miller shook his head: "It still feels like SKG is putting too much pressure on you. Everyone should be mentally prepared for this game."

The doll's expression was quite optimistic, and he forced a smile: "In my opinion, this may be Brother Chen's tactic."

"Although LG has won consecutive victories, it is too young after all, and lacks experience in facing the world's top teams."

"Brother Chen probably thinks that the chances of winning today are not high, so he used this battle to train his troops and test SKG's strength."

"This MSI group match is a round-robin competition system. SKG won the right to choose the side in the first round. The next time LG faces SKG, the right to choose the side will return to LG's hands. At that time, LG will really exert its strength. when!"

Except for the three commentators in the LPL division who are still helping LG to find a reason, the rest of the division did not think much about it at all, and agreed that it was a wise decision for LG to give up the right to choose sides.

The opponent is too strong, instead of struggling uselessly, it is better to save strength and consider the next game.

Chen Shu didn't care about the views of the commentators, because BP had already started.

SKG is on the blue side in this game and has the qualifications for a grab.

LG is on the red side. With the current version, BP will be very difficult to do, because there are too many strong heroes in this version.

In this game, the ADC is still started by JackeyLove, and Uzi continues to hide his strength as the finale of the hole card.

In the last game, JackeyLove's Delevingne was too cruel, and SKG moved Delevingne as soon as he came up.

Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, then removed Miss Zhu.

Although King Ning is also an old pig girl player, he has rarely played this hero recently.

As a popular top laner who has suddenly risen in the recent version, Zhumei has become the first sister of the top laner to resist pressure.

TheShy wants to develop in this round, and this kind of disgusting hero must not be released.

SKG directly moved out Lucian in their second move.

On the contrary, Chen Shu couldn't understand this move.

The blue side has an advantage, and there is no need to dismantle Luna at all. Nami can only play with Lu Xian at present, and other ADCs are too weak to suppress the bottom lane. As long as SKG grabs Lu Xian, the Luna combination is firmly locked.

This move will remove Lucian unless they have a more important hero to grab and don't want to give up Luna to LG.

"In this case……"

Chen Shu began to check the information in the system to see which hero could make SKG give up Luna.

"I have penetrated the runes!"

In the continent of Valoran, a blue-skinned mage wandered around the world with magic runes on his back.

Chen Shu looked at the information in his mind and began to hesitate.

Not only did SKG return to its peak form, the mid laner Fuker actually temporarily comprehended a more powerful exclusive power.

If Fuker gets Ryze, his own attributes will be greatly improved, and mysterious powers will be triggered.

As for what the power is, the system does not show it.

Rookie is currently sitting on the gaming chair with his eyes closed to relax.

Chen Shu hesitated for a moment, leaving the decision to the contestants.

Chen Shu came to Rookie's side and asked slowly: "The opponent should be able to take Ryze, can your enchantress beat Ryze?"

"It's not easy to beat, we can just move it out."

After Chen Shu finished speaking, Rookie also began to hesitate.

In the background story, Ryze's magical power far exceeds that of LeBlanc.

In the game, it is also difficult for LeBlanc to beat Ryze.

The power of Ryze's rune imprisonment, and LeBlanc's Phantom Shadow have almost nowhere to display.

After a moment of silence, Rookie said firmly: "Let him go, I can hit him."

Rookie has already decided that Chen Shu will stop talking, and backhandedly removed the version's strong support Renata.

After SKG made a careful decision, they moved away King Ning's fiery Leopard Girl for the third time.

Chen Shu moved Tam for the third time.

The first three moves, LG's two moves to assist, gave SKG an illusion that they wanted to lay down the road.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go."

SKG's first choice, just as Chen Shu predicted, locked Ryze in seconds.

Chen Shu was not too polite, and directly gave Rookie the enchantress.

For the second option, Chen Shu was handed over to King Ning.

"As long as there is one request, help Rookie open the situation in the middle lane."

King Ning nodded solemnly, stood up from the gaming chair, and stretched his muscles.

"Blind monk."

With just three words, King Ning is extremely confident.

All the way to the stage of MSI, King Ning is undoubtedly the player who has grown the most in the team.

From the toolman jungler relying on TheShy's strong style of play, King Ning has become one of the core of LG.

The current King Ning has the ability to turn the tide of battle.

LG's second choice, Chen Shu locked the jungler blind monk.

LG's bot duo, whether it's Uzi+Ming or JackeyLove+Ming, their laning ability is absolutely world-class.

Chen Shu's first two support moves were just to confuse SKG and make the opponent mistakenly think that the core of his game is in the bottom lane.

In SKG's perception, LPL teams always put too much faith in the bottom lane every time they come to a key game, and guarantee four and one.

This game is still no exception.

SKG's coaching staff has fully believed that the core of LG's game will be the bottom lane.

Therefore, SKG's second and third picks directly locked the ultimate combination of Thresh and Aphelios.
