Chapter 173-172- MSI debut
The world championship can only bring one substitute, I really forgot, damn it.

*******
I don’t know if it’s because of the parallel world, this year’s Riot has changed the rules of world competitions such as MSI and S tournaments, and the number of substitutes that can be brought has changed from one to three.

Therefore, when going to MSI, the water dispenser trio of TL Spring Split can go together.

In addition, jensen can play, so both the fans and the media are full of expectations for this double-form TL.

And before the game, that is, at the end of April, on the eve of the start of the finalists, ESPN also gave the current MSI team rankings on its official Twitter.

Without counting wild card teams, the rankings of MSI teams from high to low are IG, G2, SKT, TL, and FW.

Regarding this ranking, there is not much controversy on the Internet. At least except for G2 and SKT, the rankings of the other three teams are not controversial. As for the European Galaxy Battleship G2 and South Korea's triple crown dynasty SKT, who is the second and who is the oldest? Three, this is something that the fans of the two teams will have to tear themselves apart.

Soon, the time came to May [-]st, and the MSI play-in competition officially started. Eight wild card teams gathered in the GG Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and were divided into two groups for a round-robin battle. The group ranked first The two teams will advance to the knockout stage and face TL and FW directly.

The team that advances in Group A is DBL, which is Vietnam's own home team, the Buffaloes, and it is also the opponent that TL will face in the knockout stage.

Of course, there is nothing to say about playing DBL. After finally changing to the starting configuration of jensen, xmithie and corejj, TL easily sent the big buffalo away with [-]-[-] joy, without any pressure.

But the Flash Wolves that night were different. As the swan song in the last year of the LMS, at MSI, the Flash Wolves actually lost a game when they faced the wild card team VEG. In the end, they lost [-]-[-]. Successful promotion, almost didn't make Taiwanese netizens vomit blood.

In the end, after a long BO5 battle on the second day, Vietnam’s Buffalo also defeated VEG with a score of 3:2 and became the last team in the MSI race.

"The strength of the big buffalo is not bad, it has the style of IG, so reckless!"

"It's a pity that we were still sanctioned by TL. I have to say that this year's TL is really strong, already very close to the level of G2 and SKT."

"Xmithie, jensen and corejj are also performing very well. Even if Hongye and Dongzao are replaced, the combat effectiveness is still the same!"

"Nonsense, this is his starting lineup for this year. Hongye and Dongzao are all SSRs in two random rounds. It's a surprise."

"Then you said that in the main game, will TL play xmithie, jensen, and corejj, or Hongye, Dongzao, and olleh?"

"There is one thing to say, the middle field of the red jujube combination seems to be obviously stronger, but the Jensen set can be accompanied by a top support corejj, he is a level stronger than olleh, and can directly pull the level of the duo lane to the top in the world. Hard to choose."

"It's true... If I were the coach of TL, I probably don't know how to arrange it."

Although it was a buffalo game, it was jensen's first game after returning to the game, and it was still a BO5, so North American audiences still paid a lot of attention to this game.

And the result of the game also made all LCS audiences very satisfied-the cruel food belongs to the cruel food, but this abuse is cruel enough!Look at the same abuse, Lightning Wolves lost a game against the weaker VEG, and won staggeringly. Looking at TL, they beat the stronger big buffalo and killed them randomly. This can be seen from TL How hot it is right now.

In this way, the TL fans who originally thought that "the combination of jujube is enough" and "Jensen, the team is safe, don't return" will start to struggle again-jensen is in such a good state after his return, and xmithie itself is an LCS Top-level jungler, and a champion support corejj... The player configuration of this set seems to be top-notch too?

Doesn't seem to be worse than the winning lineup of the Spring Finals?
It's a pity, why is League of Legends 5v5 instead of 8v8? Wouldn't it be possible to get all of them!
In fact, what the LCS audience is struggling with is also what Coach Cain is thinking about now.

It's not easy to choose, it's really not easy to choose, let's choose Hongye, I feel that Jensen's set is not weak, but choose Jensen, the combination of red dates and wild combination is very fierce.

So, after serious thinking for a long time, coach cain finally made a decision—in the group stage, Dongzao will play one round first, then jensen will play the second round, and then choose a better state according to the situation The lineup is used as the starting lineup, and it depends on the situation in the semi-finals whether to switch to the second lineup to play.

……

On May [-]th, at the National Convention Center in Hanoi, Vietnam, the MSI group stage finally officially started.

On the first day of the main match, each team has two games, and TL's first game is located after the opener of G2 and SKT, and the opponent is the Flash Wolves of the LMS division.

Compared with G2 and SKT's quality game, TL and FW, these two teams just listen to their names, which makes people feel a little uninspired, so when the second game starts, the live broadcast room on the external network starts to become more active a marked decline.

However, the enthusiasm of the LPL audience has not decreased but increased. MSI broadcast rooms such as Shark and Tiger are full of "TL Come on" and "Jujube combination is the best in the world". Apart from their own Fanshan team, the most concerned and supported by all LPL audiences is probably TL - one Chinese and two Chinese foreign players, three of the five are descendants of Yanhuang, and they regard TL as their own team. Any questions?

of course not!

What's more, it's my wife's team!This is even more supportive!
Therefore, under the anticipation of the audience in the three divisions of LPL, LMS and LCS, the two sides soon entered the ban/pick session.

Among them, Flash Wolves are on the blue side, and the three-handed banrs who come up are Gemstone, Kenan, and Akali—obviously, they are banrs who have not done much homework. If the TSM coach comes over, he will definitely clamor for Hongye's The spider and the rock sparrow were banned. Without these two AP junglers, TL's overall combat effectiveness dropped by one-third directly.

Then, after several ban/pick intrigues, Flash Wolves chose vampire as top laner, Nightmare as jungler, yellow chicken as mid laner, and Kai'Sa+Galio as bottom laner—a late game and team-starting ability The lineup is full, and the ability to seize opportunities is extremely strong. The only disadvantage is that the early stage is relatively weak, and the game has to be delayed.

On the TL side, because the red side has a relationship with the fifth-floor Kang special position, after confirming the top laner Silas, the jungler Spider, and the bottom laner Lucian+Bron, he hesitated for a long time as the last mid laner. But it has not been settled yet.

"Do you want this Silas?" Cain asked, the bottom lane duo and the jungler have been completely determined, and the top laner Silas for Impact is a swing hero, and swinging to the middle lane to fight yellow chickens is also a problem. It's also no problem, it mainly depends on Tang Xiaotang's personal wishes.

"I... can take it, but I think I can consider other options." Tang Xiaotang looked at the lineup on the opposite side for a while, and frowned involuntarily.

She doesn't like the opponent's lineup. It's not that she finds it difficult to play, but she simply hates this kind of play that completely delays the late game-choose a late-game hero, and use the excuse of not having lane rights in the early game to do nothing except brush. A well-meaning gangster, in the end, he has a natural advantage in the later stage, and if he can't fight, he will play GG... What is the difference between this and a coward?Isn't this purely not daring to do things in the early stage?
Come fight, come fight like a man in the early stage, the duel in the Yutang competition area was disliked by others, and you choose a late lineup to play a few 10-minute last knife fights, are you afraid that the audience will not sleep well enough?

So, after a few seconds of silence, Tang Xiaotang suddenly said: "I think I can take...Katrina, Silas to Impact."

Cain froze for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Katerina, do you really want to choose this way?"

"hold head high."

"This..." Cain suddenly fell into deep thought.

Regarding Tang Xiaotang's hero pool, cain naturally knows a lot about it. He probably knows that this girl can play everything. Among the heroes in the middle lane that can be prioritized in the game is Katrina—but he didn't take it to heart at the time, after all The hero Carter is very different in rank and in the game. It is too difficult for Carter in the game to play the effect of a passerby game.

But now, in the opposite lineup, the auxiliary Galio is considered a stable control, while the Yellow Rooster and Nightmare are certainly controlled, but they are not stable controls, giving Carter a lot of room to play and operate.Moreover, the early combat power of the opposing lineup is extremely weak, and the rhythm is completely in the hands of TL. It is completely feasible to use Katarina to help the early snowball roll bigger and bigger.

"Okay, then Carter." Time was running out, cain finally chose to trust Tang Xiaotang, so TL's fifth move was finally confirmed, and it also confirmed the split of the entire lineup—top laner Silas , playing wild Spider, mid laner Carter, bottom lane Lucian + Bron.

"What, I really chose, it was Carter! Dongzao chose Katerina and walked away, wow, so confident!"

On the LPL side, Wawa and Miller are the commentators for this game. Seeing that they locked the Ominous Blade with their last move, Wawa let out a wow, dispelling the sleepiness accumulated by many viewers while watching the ban/pick, " It’s very interesting. This choice, TL told FW that we want to penetrate you in the early stage! The smell of gunpowder has already risen!”

"Indeed, TL's lineup is very fast-paced in the early stage, especially Carter, who hasn't seen it in a professional game for a long time. Once he was selected, he felt that it was much rarer than Suo, and the audience was very excited. gone."

Miller listened to the excited yelling from the scene, nodded and smiled, "I am still very optimistic about the strength of the young player Dongzao. She was an aggressive and well-known operator in the LCS. It must be said that it is a big surprise that Carter can be selected for the first show in the World Championship, let us wait and see."
