Chapter 228 Easily defeats TSM, two consecutive wins to start the group stage!

On the large screen at the scene.

The red team's Flash Wolves' base crystal exploded.

In the commentary booth, Miller shouted at the top of his lungs, "In less than thirty minutes, LGD defeated their first opponent in this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational! A winning start to the first group stage match!"

"Congratulations LGD!!" Wawa roared at the top of his lungs.

It's hard to say whether these two are truly that excited and agitated.

However, they at least showed enough excitement and enthusiasm.

that's enough.

LPL viewers love watching this.

Look at other coughs!
In the official live broadcast room, even though it was already 4 a.m. Beijing time.

But at this moment, the screen was still flooded with "Congratulations LGD" messages.

In the live stream, there are many, many viewers who have stayed up until this late to watch LGD's first match at MSI!
In the live broadcast screen.

The LGD players got up from their seats and walked towards the Flash Wolves' bench.

During the post-match handshake, both sides were very friendly.

Even Mimi Egg, who was completely overwhelmed by the game, shook hands with the LGD players with a smile.

After all, we are compatriots who speak the same language!

After shaking hands, the LGD members came to the front of the stage and bowed to the audience.

The Brazilian audience members present responded with enthusiastic applause.

Immediately, the live broadcast switched from the main stage to the commentary booth.

After Changmao and others praised LGD for a while, the screen still showed some highlights from the previous game.

Next is the post-match results panel.

Zhou Dian's Vayne dealt the most damage among the ten players in this game.

"To be honest, Zhou Shen is truly the king of damage!" Guan Zeyuan said. "No matter how a match goes, Zhou Shen's damage is always among the top two!"

"I think this is also related to the hero that Zhou Shen plays."

"Yes, Zhou Shen does play tank heroes relatively infrequently in matches!"

Before Changmao could finish speaking, Guan Zeyuan interrupted him.

"But let's be fair, not every top laner can deal damage just because you give them a champion with high damage output!" Guan Zeyuan continued.

"Being good at dealing damage is already one of the top abilities in League of Legends!"

Subsequently, the MVP of the game between LGD and Flash Wolves was announced in the live stream.

It was given to Eimy's spider.

"I thought I'd see Zhou Shen's MSI official photos as soon as I logged on today!"

Guan Zeyuan made a little joke about the official makeup photo.

He then added, "However, giving the MVP to Spider is definitely not a problem!"

In this game, Zhou Dian didn't take the initiative to do much.

His strategy in this game was to dominate the lane, farm minions, and deal damage.

They didn't produce any spectacular highlights that would blow the audience away.

Eimy's Spider game basically dictated the pace of the entire match, making a strong impact.

Giving the MVP to Eimy is quite appropriate.

After the MVP of the game between LGD and Flash Wolves was announced, the live stream was about to enter the commercial break.

It was visibly noticeable that the refresh rate of the comments in the live stream room had become sparse.

Even though only two of the six group stage matches on the first day of MSI have been played so far.

However, many viewers have already completely left the live stream.

After all, this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational is being held in Brazil, South America.

The match schedule is indeed not very friendly to LPL viewers.

Most LPL viewers who stayed up all night to watch the matches, until 3 or 4 a.m., finished watching the SKT vs. LGD game, and then went to sleep satisfied.

Ultimately, only a very small number of viewers are truly capable of staying up all night.

By the time the third group stage match between GAM and TSM started today, there were even fewer viewers left in the live stream.

TSM, as one of the oldest teams in North America, enjoys considerable international recognition.

The most well-known player on the team is undoubtedly mid-laner Bjergsen.

Similarly, TSM has been considered a top team in the North American league for the past few years.

Within the North American region, he was somewhat invincible.

Last year, after the 16 World Championship, TSM kicked out their ADC, Doublelift, also known as Doublelift.

They then brought in an ADC who had also been playing professionally since Season 1 – WildTurtle.

This guy is nicknamed Wild Turtle Bro.

At the same time, he is also known as a notorious loser in the eyes of LPL viewers.

Anyway, he made way more money than his senior brother, who was also a loser.

At the time, many TSM fans thought that replacing Doublelift with Wild Turtle was simply insane.

Surprisingly, TSM won the LCS Spring Split championship this year, successfully defending their title in the league.

All I can say is that a civil war god is a civil war god; he can win any game in North America.

Or rather, TSM's mid laner Bjergsen is just too strong a carry.

In the North American region, this would be a bit of a game-changer.

TSM's opponent, GAM, comes from the wildcard region of Vietnam and is only participating in an international competition for the first time this year.

Normally speaking, even the North American region where TSM is located is just a region that is vying for fifth place among the five major regions.

But no matter what, the league champions of the major regions can easily beat a wildcard team composed of five Vietnamese players without any foreign aid.

If there were no qualifying rounds, most people would probably think that way.

However, in the first MSI play-in knockout stage a week ago, GAM fought a hard-fought five games against TSM.

They ultimately lost to TSM 2-3.

For a moment, it was unclear whether TSM was too weak or the Vietnamese teams were too strong.

Of course, many people believe that TSM was careless in that BO5.

However, the result of today's group stage match was a slap in the face to those people.

After a fierce battle lasting nearly forty minutes.

GAM, a team from Vietnam, defeated North American champions TSM, securing their first victory in the group stage of this year's MSI.

This is also GAM's first victory in an international tournament.

The moment they destroyed TSM's base crystal, the five GAM members jumped up from their seats and hugged each other excitedly, as if they had already won the championship.

That heartfelt excitement and exhilaration also infected many viewers who watched the game.

Naturally, many viewers wanted to learn more about this team from Vietnam.

More and more information about GAM has been uncovered.

such as,

Because of their very limited financial resources, their team members were using mice worth only a few dollars to compete in MSI.

As soon as the news came out, many viewers expressed their desire to donate several sets of peripherals to them.

It was also because of this news that TSM was once again subjected to harsh criticism.

You can't even beat someone using secondhand peripherals that cost only a few dollars?
Amidst the collective mockery of TSM, EDG inexplicably became a target of criticism.

The reason is also very simple.

Last summer, EDG was completely invincible in the LPL, winning the Summer Split championship with a perfect record.

Then, at the S6 World Championship, they lost their first group stage match to a wildcard team from Brazil.

This is exactly the same as TSM today!

Basically, fans from all regions really dislike the "domestic god" who is good at domestic matches but bad at international matches.

After the match between GAM and TSM.

All six teams participating in this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational have now made their appearances.

Of course, there will be two rounds of group matches on each match day.

Therefore, there are three matches remaining in today's schedule.

Each team will have to participate in one more match.

The first match of the second round of group stage, which is also the fourth match today.

The two teams facing off are G2 and Flash Wolves.

After a grueling 50-minute game, G2 successfully turned the tide and defeated Flash Wolves.

They secured their first victory at this year's MSI.

Flash Wolves, on the other hand, started the MSI with two consecutive losses.

To get their first win, they'll have to wait until tomorrow's game at the earliest.

Many Taiwanese viewers also hurled insults at Flash Wolves on their infamous PTT forum.

Boast when you win, criticize when you lose!
This is quite common among spectators of competitive sports worldwide.

The next match is today's fifth group stage game.

The two teams facing off are SKT and GAM.

In the first two matches, the LPL official live stream chat was sparsely populated with comments.

The number of comments suddenly increased.

The reason is simple: it was almost 7 p.m. in Beijing.

Many viewers who didn't stay up late to watch the game naturally came early to watch the match.

When Riot Games arranged the tournament schedule, they certainly took into account the huge audience in East Asia.

The matches between SKT and LGD were deliberately scheduled as the first and second matches, and the fifth and sixth matches of today.

For viewers who can stay up late, watch the first and second shows.

Viewers who don't stay up late can get up early to watch the fifth and sixth shows.

This scheduling arrangement can effectively maintain the viewership of this year's MSI in East Asia.

Return to competition.

In the end, SKT easily defeated GAM, who had just defeated TSM, in just 25 minutes.

The difference in strength between the two teams is obvious to the naked eye.

Naturally, TSM, who had just lost to GAM, were once again ridiculed.

This match will be the last group stage match of the first day of this year's MSI.

LGD will face off against TSM.

The match started at 7:30 a.m. Beijing time.

The LPL official live stream was flooded with viewers again.

In this match, basically no one favored TSM.

After all, TSM can even lose to GAM, so what makes them think they can beat LGD?

The result of the competition was exactly as expected.

Zhou Dian picked Jayce and cleared TSM's top lane.

They then launched attacks on all three lanes, snowballing LGD's advantage even further.

In just over 26 minutes, LGD destroyed TSM's base crystal.

LGD easily defeated TSM, securing their second group stage victory at this year's MSI.

However, Zhou Dian still had some minor dissatisfaction with this match.

That's the time it took them to beat TSM.

It took one minute longer than the match SKT used to defeat GAM.

This race is no match for SKT!

Following LGD's match, the first day of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational featured six group stage matches.

That concludes the entire game.

SKT and LGD both secured two victories, achieving a two-game winning streak at the start of the group stage.

Both G2 and GAM have a record of one win and one loss.

The worst off were Flash Wolves and TSM.

Both teams started the season with two consecutive losses and have yet to secure their first win.

This outcome was entirely within expectations.

The only thing that surprised most viewers was GAM's upset victory over TSM.

Therefore, GAM stole the show on the first day of the competition.

Next are SKT and LGD, both with two consecutive wins.
