LOL: God of the World Tournament

After the lottery ceremony, teams from each major competition area also began to go to Berlin, Germany. The group stage was held in the same location as the qualifying round, both in Berlin.

The S9 Global Finals will be played here until the quarterfinals before being moved to Madrid, Spain.

Verti Concert Hall in Berlin, Germany, this is the venue for the S9 World Championship group stage. The level of this concert hall is almost equivalent to that of the German Music Hall, and the standards are not too low.

The Verti Concert Hall is not a big place and can only accommodate about 4359 people. Compared with large venues in China that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it is really not enough.

But this is Europe, and it is considered a big venue to accommodate so many people~

At the same time, after modification by Riot Games, it has five studios, five director rooms, and other dedicated e-sports function rooms, and the facilities and equipment are all top-notch in the industry.

On the afternoon of June 10th.

There were several buses parked outside the five-star hotel chartered by Riot Games, and professional players in neat team uniforms boarded the buses under the leadership of their respective teams.

This bus will drive them to realize their professional dreams. From tonight, how far they can go on this land depends entirely on the team and themselves.

As soon as the main game started, IG members dressed in black came on stage and returned the trophy from last year's World Championship to the center of the stage.

Everyone looked at the trophy in the center of the stage with fiery eyes and no concealment of their inner ambition.

This is the carnival of e-sports~!

Today's opening match of the group stage pits SKT from Group C against FNC. Both teams are veteran teams in their respective divisions, and there is no doubt about their competitiveness and excitement.

In the first BP, SKT made many unexpected moves.

For example, SKT, as a traditional operating team, once again gave Teddy, who didn't understand the French core play in the summer competition, a Mercy AD, and then asked Faker to play the mid laner.

And they are very particular about the design of the first-level team. The combination of SKT's small cannon and Titan blind monk has a very high first-level team strength.

A wave of 4V4 first-level teams allowed the cannon to get first blood and destroy the excavator's flash, which allowed Faker to accumulate advantages in the early stage.

Then the whole game turned into a personal show of SKT triple crown champion Faker. He was so amazing with his small cannon that he could not die at once, completing the operation of ending the game in 30 minutes.

During this period, FNC seemed to have room to fight back every time, but every time they failed to seize this opportunity, they were forced to be managed by SKT until they died.

In other words, every decision made by SKT and every wave of team battles were slightly ahead of FNC. The advantages accumulated little by little until FNC finally lost the game.

This extraordinary calmness and stability amazed everyone at IG. King Ning and Xiangguo called out that disgusting SKT is back again.

RNG also performed very well in the second game against CG. The new top laner Lang Xing seemed to have perfectly integrated into RNG. Even when facing Huni, he played steadily and flawlessly.

There is a gap in strength between S9's Uzi and other ADC players. There are two types of ADCs at this time, one is Uzi, and the other is other ADCs.

After getting Xia, CG did not put enough pressure on them in the early stage, which gave UZI a very calm space to develop. They won the game in the last wave and gave LPL a very good start.

For a time, there was all kinds of praise in the LPL live broadcast room.

"It's back, it's all back~"

"Ye Qing is back!"

"Is this the strength of the world's No. 1 ADC Mad Puppy?!"

"Wuhu~ Let me tell you a little trivia: Xiaohu is the most honored mid laner in China!"

"."

But while everyone was praising him, Chen Mu helplessly shook his head.

Because he could see clearly, in the 31-minute game, the top laner's Crocodile went 3-1, the jungler's Lee Sin was 2-1, ADC's Xayah was 4-0, and even the auxiliary robot was 2-2.

All members of the RNG have bounties, and Xiaohu’s Angel in the middle also has a bounty, but it’s a bounty that comes from last hit~

This is the angel of S9! !

In the third game between IG and AHQ, facing a division that was about to be axed, IG certainly had to strike hard and ended the game right in the middle of the game.

The final showdown between FPX and JT served as the finale of the first day.

I don’t know if it was accidental or intentional, but after the announcement of FPX and Chen Mu who were the last to appear, the official commentator in the English stream became very excited.

Originally, in any game, there would be spectators leaving the field at midfield, but in order to watch Chen Mu's game, which was played until the end, the audience was still full.

"Okay, welcome back everyone. The live broadcast now is the final match of the first day of the 2019 group stage. FPX from the LPL versus the JT team from the LMS. Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan!"

"Hello everyone, I'm CAT!"

"I'm the commentator, remember! Today's last game between FPX and JT is what I'm most looking forward to~"

"Actually, I'm looking forward to it too. It's been almost a month since I last saw Chen Mu play. I wonder how Chen Mu is doing now?!" Guan Zeyuan said with great anticipation.

"Yeah, I wonder what kind of surprises Chen Mu will give us in this year's World Championship?!"

"Okay! Let's take a look at the appearance of the two teams first!"

After a brief introduction by the host, the two teams took the stage one after another.

The cheers when the two teams came on stage were completely different. This is Europe, and logically it is neither FPX nor JT’s home stadium.

But JT, a team that isn’t even a big traffic player in the LMS, naturally doesn’t have many fans.

Of course, JT’s boss Jay still has many fans~

The five starting players of FPX in this game are top laner Jin Gong and ADC Sima Laothi.

After a brief introduction, we officially entered the BP session.

JT on the blue side banned Kiana, Lucian and Angel successively.

There is nothing to say!

After the version changes, many new heroes have appeared or been reworked. These three are the most popular heroes in the world competition so far. There is no explanation. If you don't ban them, you will die.

The bans on FPX didn't have much to say, and they banned Pantheon, EZ and Crocodile one after another.

They are all OP heroes. If you don’t get banned, you’ll have to suffer online~

EZ is the ultimate badass AD that is a must-have for ADC. Its good output is also very explosive. The most important thing is that it is friendly to the living space.

And Pan Sen is to prevent JT's mid-jungle linkage, and Crocodile is to defend JT's top lane advantage. Crocodile cannot handle it in the mid-term. It can be said that every ban position is to poke JT's heart.

The current JT, to put it bluntly, as long as their midfielder can't do anything, they will lose, and there is no way to count on the bottom lane.

JT's success in past games was all due to its thigh-high Fo Zi in the middle, but this is also related to the low intensity of the LMS division.

Therefore, FPX will focus on blocking the mid to upper jungle system and linkage. As for the jungle, FPX has Chen Mu, so there is no way FPX will be afraid~

The ban ended and the formal selection process began, and JT directly grabbed the Titans.

FPX, on the other hand, has given Sima the old thief a higher priority, helping him grab Kai'Sa first and being able to sway Galio in the middle.

There was almost no thought on JT's part, and he directly chose the combination of Prince and Xia on the 23rd floor, which exposed the core of his tactics.

The third floor here in FPX is locked on Sion. I don’t know whether to go to the road or the middle~

"Oh? FPX's third move is to lock down Sion. Then FPX's BP is a bit strange. Is Galio going to the middle?! Is Sion going up?! So this lineup doesn't hurt?! It outputs pressure? It’s all on Kai’Sa’s side!!” Cat explained.

"That's right." Guan Zeyuan also nodded: "This lineup is a bit too lacking in output. Galio and Sion are not hurt! Is it because FPX wants to swing!" "It's possible!"

Then the second round of BP begins, and each other continues to target the positions that have not yet been released.

Then FPX took a hand of Tetsuo, which was obviously for Jin Gong's top laner.

"Oh?! Tetsuo?!"

"It seems that Jin Gong Latte Man will go to the road, Sion will go to the middle, and Galio will go to the support~ This should be the distribution~"

As soon as Tetsuo came out, the commentators also guessed FPX's intentions.

And then JT also locked in the last two choices, Akali and Gnar!

Now, the pressure is on FPX again.

Obviously, JT's lineup has stronger online suppression.

Fortunately, facing Akali, a powerful hero, Doinb can play casually with Sion.

Otherwise, choose a midfielder with strong suppression power.

Otherwise, play support and cooperate with Chen Mu in a mid-field linkage.

Immediately afterwards, FPX hesitated for a long time on the last counter position. It was not until the last ten seconds that an avatar finally appeared.

"Only the spider can stay safe within the spider web!"

Spider Queen - Elise! !

"Oh!"

"??!"

Everyone at the scene was shocked when they saw FPX show off this hero.

"Wow Spider, does FPX really want to choose this hero? Then it means a fast-paced early game!" I remember looking at the avatar displayed by FPX, and I was a little surprised.

"Junglers like Blind Man and Silas are still outside, but Chen Mu has used a spider that he has never used before... Is this also one of his ultimate moves? This is another one of his underpants. Are you wearing new underwear?!" Cat showed an expression of disbelief.

In the current version of the World Championship, Spider is also a popular jungle hero.

It’s just that the hero Spider is too extreme. Like Leopard Girl, it is either a big advantage or a disadvantage. There is no small advantage or situation at all.

The next second, FPX decisively locked Spider down.

All of a sudden, the whole place was boiling.

"Ahhhhhhh! The Shepherd's spider... you can see this one!"

"Is it so violent? I don't know if JT can withstand it in the early stage..."

"666! Chen Muniupi!!"

"It's locked. FPX actually locked the spider! Oh my god!! It seems that FPX has decided to speed up the pace."

"As for JT, I don't think there are many heroes who can fight spiders, so I can only choose herbivorous junglers like Pig Girl and Wine Barrel, or use Prince to compete with IG in the early and mid-term rhythm?" Colonel Guan Can't help but wonder.

As soon as the words fell, the bp between both parties ended.

In the end, the lineups of both sides were determined.

FPX vs JT

FPX is on the red side and JT is on the blue side.

Top lane: Tetsuo vs Gnar

Jungler: Spider vs Prince

Mid laner: Sion vs Akali

ADC: Kai'Sa vs Xayah

Support: Galio vs Titan

Immediately afterwards, the director's camera turned.

The game enters the loading interface.

The coaches from both sides walked to the center of the stage as usual and shook hands with each other.

Taking advantage of the gap between the game loading, several commentators also conducted a wave of analysis on the lineups of both sides in this game.

"Oh...so that's what it is." I remember suddenly realizing: "FPX won't be laning with you in this game, they are trying to support and coordinate with you! Spider and Gary O'Sain's Nakano Assistant. It can be seen that FPX is trying to I am very well prepared for this game! This is what I came prepared for!"

"Yes." Colonel Guan nodded and said: "FPX's lineup has changed from the previous style of play that favored rhythm and linkage. Sion was chosen in the middle to push the lane without thinking, and Galio was chosen as the support, just to cooperate with Chen Mu. The pillars will roam and catch people! Then this will put a lot of pressure on the JT duo and the subsequent wing points!"

"That's right. Even Nar doesn't dare to push the line easily. If you don't pay attention, you may be caught by a spider."

"But FPX's laning pressure is a bit high, and the offensive pressure is on FPX's side. If they can't get the advantage in the early stage, they won't be able to beat JT's side in team battles in the middle and late stages!"

"In this game, both sides' lineups were well chosen. The three lanes on JT's side are very intense, especially the bottom lane! On the other hand, on FPX's side, the midfielder must also be aggressive in the early and mid-term. Okay!" Wawa analyzed.

Miller looked at the lineups on both sides and continued: "Furthermore, the focus of this FPX game must be on the jungle, and we must ensure that we cooperate with Chen Mu's actions in the jungle! At the same time, I am also looking forward to the performance of Jin Gong player Tetsuo A play.”

"That's right." Colonel Guan echoed: "Just looking at the lineup, FPX's bottom lane is still the same. They farm steadily and take over the game in the later stages. Maybe the only lane advantage FPX has is the mid lane. In fact, it's not an advantage. It's just Sion pushes the lane quickly, so the battle between the two sides in the middle and jungle is also very critical in this game!"

Several commentators used their professional understanding of the game to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both lineups.

Although the commentators said it tactfully, the live broadcast room was not optimistic at all.

JT's lineup has very high strength in all three lanes.

Once defeated, it can even invade the spider's wild area.

And just looking at this team fight, JT's lineup is undoubtedly much better than FPX.

"Why, why do I feel like FPX's lineup is a bit rubbish?! Is there something wrong with my understanding of the game? (Gotou) (Gotou)"

"No doubt, it's just rubbish! (laughing and crying) (laughing and crying)"

"I feel that FPX is simply the BP swing that has shaken itself in."

“First we selected Galio, who can effectively counter Akali in a single line, and then I felt that there was a lack of entry into the team to make up for it with Sion. Finally, because Sane might be beaten by Gnar, I brought out a Iron Man. The whole BP comes down to highlight an idea that wants to be eaten again and again~"

"You don't even know how to win this thing when you choose it?"

"Wind's BP, horse's BP?!"

"The World Championships are here to create program effects?!"

"It's okay~ It's time to trust Chen Mu again~" (End of Chapter)
