Chapter 488 Senior Brother: You are the weakest AD
After the second day of the group.

Top leads the way with four wins, FNC is second with three wins and one loss, KZ is tied for third with FW with two wins and two losses, and EVS is struggling to win a single win, with an average kill difference of more than 15 per game.

The group stage is nearly halfway through.

Very few viewers made their predictions successfully.

This has also become a strong proof of the decline of LCK and the rise of the European region.

Just think about it.

When the Korean media lost to LPL in the Intercontinental Championship last year, they could still use the excuses of travel fatigue, poor form, and the lack of value in the BO1 to justify their defeat.

In addition, if it weren’t for the banana incident, the Intercontinental Championship would not have been discussed so much.

Because in Riot's positioning, holding the intercontinental competition is to fill the gap of the summer league's lack of an international stage.

Not only can it not compete with MSI.

It is even an activity used for team building and traffic increase in the middle of the competition. Similar to the platform cup, some big anchors are invited to increase the gimmick.

Riot's attitude can be seen from the fact that there is no prize money in the Intercontinental Championship.

If it weren’t for the Korean media hype.

The Intercontinental Championship is indeed more entertaining than competitive.

The problem is that LCK has not won an international championship for two consecutive years, so when the first Intercontinental Championship was held, Korean media hyped up the concept of the competition zone around the intensity of competition.

[S Crown only represents the strongest team in the version, not the strongest region. ]

Maybe the first division shouted too much.

Korean media really thinks that the overall competition intensity of LCK is greater than that of LPL. The four teams selected from it can win the Intercontinental Championship with a score of 3:1...

If I knew it wouldn’t work.

Korean media will not engage in large-scale marketing.

So, after a series of failures, LCK is really a bit discouraged. SKT is caught in internal strife in the rotation, and the boastful KZ has never won a BO5 (foreign war).

Let’s look at the European division.

Last year they lost to NA in the Intercontinental Championship, but after a new team transformation this year, they have the demeanor of a king.

Just looking at the performance, you can tell that TL is the weakest team in this MSI (leaving EVS aside). In the game against Flash Wolves, Big Brother played a policewoman and the record was 40-0-0 in 1 minutes. He didn't have a good team fight the whole time.

The most exaggerated thing is.

Flash Wolves are not known for their teamfight coordination, and their teamfights are also very chaotic, with control often overlapping. But compared to TL, they are indeed a little bit stronger.

If you are a North American viewer.

Would you be happy if you saw your team at a disadvantage in the early game, and then lose the tower in the mid-game, and finally managed to get the policewoman's four-piece set, but still ended up with no output environment?

It took just 40 minutes to brew and I had a big shit.

The audience was still expecting the policewoman to show her power and lead her teammates to a comeback, but TL said: Damn, it took so long just to lose later.

Surprised or not? Surprised or not?

It’s not scary to set up the Xuanwu formation on high ground.

The scary thing is that he has led the team to play Xuanwu for four consecutive years, but has not seen any progress. Although they also experienced a dark era, LPL at least broke the unbeaten streak at MSI and is worth bragging about.

What about North America?
All they have is that they can't get out of the group with the first seed...Winning Europe is like celebrating the New Year. Now, NA is still led by Big Brother, but EU has a new face like Caps.

then.

Take advantage of the standings released.

All European commentators celebrated the New Year, proudly announcing that they would carry the fans' expectations and make an impact on the S-League championship. Well, let's put it this way, Caps' current status is not based on his achievements.

But the European region really needs a leader.

This position used to belong to A-P, but the problem was that G2 was too bad in the foreign wars in those two years, and the content they played was far less gorgeous than FNC...

The next day.

Cvmax had been reviewing his work overnight and was about to get up for breakfast. When he walked to the front desk, he found that a newspaper was delivered along with the food cart.

Half an hour later.

Qin Hao walked to the dining car, took a glass of milk, and looked at the sofa area curiously - a group of people were sitting and reading newspapers.

"What is this?" Qin Hao asked curiously.

"It should be a local tabloid."

Guo Hao raised his head and said with an envious tone: "But the sub-edition reported this year's MSI, and there was a picture of Caps printed next to it."

The location is not important.

What matters is being in the newspapers.

A long time ago, Guo Hao envied LCK because as long as they achieved results, even the Chosun Ilbo would spare some space to report on it, not to mention local newspapers.

In other words, as an e-sports professional, he really hopes to be accepted by mainstream newspapers. It would be best if he could be like the Chinese national football team, where any incident would be worth reporting. But this is obviously impossible.

Cvmax put away the newspaper and handed it to Qin Hao: "There is also an interview attached to the back."

Kouma was speechless when his newspaper was snatched away. He suspected that Jin Dahu did it on purpose, just because he didn't want him to finish reading it.

"Xiao Li, please sit over there and translate for me."

The sofa area here was already full, and Qin Hao sat alone on the other side. When Qin Hao took the newspaper, he first saw Caps' photo.

no way.

It's quite eye-catching indeed.

In the photo, Caps is wearing headphones and is very focused, highlighting the intensity of the competition.

Afterwards, after being relayed by the team translator, Qin Hao roughly understood what the report was trying to say. It was nothing more than a lot of progress and the rise of the region.

It’s the interview part at the end.

Caps talked about the difference between Faker and Penicillin——

"Personally I find Penicillin more difficult to deal with."

"Unless you are better than him in the details of the laning phase, you won't be able to gain any advantage."

"No no no..."

"I did beat him in scrims, but that doesn't matter. Because in scrims, Penicillin is not afraid of any kind of exchange, and you never know where he will fight you.

I remember one training match, he went online at level 1 and cooperated with the jungler to invade, and directly defeated our jungler. But in the game, he would not take such a big risk.

Do you understand what I mean?

In a situation like this where the mid laner cooperates with the jungler to invade at level 1, unless he can get the upper hand, it will be a loss no matter how you look at it.

In addition, if he gets a hero with an advantage in the position, his style of play will make you feel suffocated. For each wave of low-health soldiers, you have to face a choice. Should you be attacked, or give up the last hit and respond directly...”

Speaking of which.

Caps complained: "I was killed by a single player because I believed in the feeling of the training game. In that wave of training games, he must have pressed first, and I could get close without the help of the belt."

“Faker’s words…”

"He can't put that much pressure on me. It's not that he's not strong, but he's not as focused.

Apart from Penicillin, no one can do so many things at the same time - watching the health of each soldier, thinking about the position, thinking about how to attack. "

"besides."

"When I was killed by Faker, I was confident that I could fight back, but when I was killed by Penicillin, you couldn't see him being particularly reckless. It was like... like... he had a sure win."

The translation is read aloud.

Cvmax was the first to respond: "Yo, you are telling the truth. I thought he didn't know himself."

As he said that, Cvmax glanced at Kouma.

Kouma rolled his eyes, probably guessing what Jin Dahu was thinking. He said unhappily, "I am Top's coach now."

Cvmax responded in Korean: "Are you still thinking about SKT's Top coach?"

Kouma couldn't refute this. He couldn't sever ties with SKT.

Guo Hao didn't know what the two talked about. He saw Caps commenting on the details of Penicillin's laning and bluntly said that no one could maintain such concentration.

His first reaction was that Caps was really objective. His second reaction was to remember the boss' instructions and wonder if he could buy a trending search.

As for Qin Hao.

He felt that this was due to the simulated space. He was able to develop such a laning style through hard practice. At the beginning, he couldn't adjust his position according to the opponent's ideas at any time while watching the line.

As Caps said.

This requires extremely high concentration. Because when playing a game, it is impossible to only focus on your own path. If your teammates report information, you can't help but remember it.

~~~
The external network has not yet become popular.

The content of the newspaper was first posted on Weibo.

Beijing time, 2pm.

The corresponding entry ranked fifth in the hot search, and then quickly moved into the top three - #Caps sharp comments on the second championship (explosive) #Top four wins, KZ two wins (new) #
Just look at the title.

The audience thought Caps couldn't afford to lose.

After all, in LPL, people assume that the two-time champion refers to Penicillin, but when they click in, they see: Wow, it turns out that Caps is a member of the Green Blow faction.

This made the Qing fans who were ready to come in and scold him very excited. After all, the last time they made a sharp comment, they used the Shakespeare incident to extend the competition of leading a team. Many European and American commentators objectively described that Faker's ability to lead a team was not as good as Penicillin's.

[That's fine, buddy. I won all my FMVPs by stepping on Faker.]

【Caps is so brave, he is not afraid of offending LCK. 】

[I have a criterion for judgment, that is, what the US troops stationed in South Korea can do, others can do as well. Offended? Will it cause a public opinion or political crisis if the American bully says Faker is not good enough? ]

[It’s a bit funny. How can a barbecue stall affect the US military? 】

There’s anything you can say in the comments section.

But most people have a better impression of Caps who has never appeared in public.

However, after the entry reached the third one, some of the people who came after hearing the news started to jump up and down on the spot, saying that those who went up the mountain should not laugh at the gods who were coming down the mountain.

【Mockery? How can you laugh at the fact? 】

【Caps commented on the two-time champion, and Tanza said not to criticize Faker. 】

[Oh, LPL was not good before, and people said that being bad at e-sports was the original sin. Now SKT is not good, and they want us to respect and understand. No, Tanza is so empathetic, can you empathize with others?

Is there anything wrong with what Caps said? Who did he hurt in the next matchup? He was ahead with ignite but got killed by a single player, but you guys didn't break through his defense. 】

[Before the Intercontinental Championship, the gold content was full; after the LPL was won, it was said that the gold content was not high. I just want to ask, who determines the so-called gold content. ]

[The tantza is becoming more and more like GSL. 】

[Normal fans are all pretending to be dead, only fans will find weird angles to wash.

Last year, some people said that Peanut played like a pro, and they put all the blame on Ueno. Why is Top so strong now that Peanut is here? What's the reason? 】

The GSL who were watching saw the stall being defeated by the mold and they laughed secretly at the fun.

Granted, they also hate mold, but that doesn't mean they have to unite to fight against it.

And as more and more people express their emotions.

I took a look at Hupu and Kangba, and wow, there’s even a top-tier mid laner coming out to give sharp comments, this is definitely going to be a huge amount of traffic!

No need to think about it.

After the Weibo entry went viral, other forums posted their posts on their homepages one after another, directing netizens to join in.

This time.

The stall is in a bit of a dilemma.

They have extremely strong filters in their hearts. Seeing that the hero is getting old, they think that people who go up the mountain should give the devil more respect. The problem is that not everyone can think this way.

Including the topic spreading to South Korea.

Some SKT fans also admitted defeat and did not dare to refute.

In other words, they felt that Penicillin avoided the confrontation in 16 and won unfairly, and they were quite indignant.

But after the words "Forgive my selfishness, I want to hold my destiny in my own hands" in 17 went viral along with the Bird's Nest Night and became a golden phrase for Riot to promote the event, no one thought so anymore.

A man who dares to make promises to his teammates on the highest stage.

It gave the Korean audience a strong shock.

Also full of vigor and vitality.

They felt that the weight of this sentence was cooler than rolling into the field. Under the surface of humility, there was a bit of rebelliousness.

It's like if we focus on the middle lane, we will definitely win the championship. There's no need to discuss anything else.

And it turns out.

Penicillin can indeed carry the economy and live up to the team's tilt.

and so…

Compared to Weibo, Caps's few honest words did not cause much response in the Korean forum. SKT fans are not concerned about who is the best in laning, they just want to put pressure on the management and don't want Faker to be betrayed by three CS teammates.

in their hearts.

Faker is past the age of discussing laning. Although no one wants to admit that he is old, as early as S6, he was no longer the big devil who could fight two people in the middle lane alone.

~~~
When the blue powder is extremely comfortable.

Top and his group came to the backstage of the venue.

Compared with yesterday.

Today we are going to play against TL and KZ.

Because the group stage is a six-to-four match, played in a double round-robin format, so after the first round of five games, the subsequent side selection will be reversed.

Just chatting.

No one expected that TL would make a big splash after winning EVS. At that time, Master Brother said in an English interview that smlz was the worst AD in this MSI.

Maybe I've been under a lot of pressure these past two days and I'm feeling angry, or maybe that's just what I was thinking.

In short.

When TL1-4 could only pray for a chance to play a tiebreaker, Big Brother made sharp comments on the bottom lanes of other teams during the interview phase.

He said Rekkles always picked heroes like Annie that didn't participate in the laning phase, and that he had played 4 games and had basically never suffered a loss in the bottom lane. He then said that netizens didn't understand the game and would only blame him for not having a carry when he lost.

With such grievances.

He openly stated that he did a lot for the team, while some ADs did very little.

Host: "Who do you think has done the least?"

Senior Brother: "Need I ask? Of course it's smlz."

In their team, the support only came to the mid lane every two or three minutes, and had no intention of fighting well. In the mid-game, he developed in the middle lane, still eating the safety line. Even so, his output was not as high as the jungler. "

Big Brother hates it!
He was criticized for 1-4, but he felt that he did nothing wrong. Just like now, he felt that he did more than smlz, but Top was undefeated, so he could only beat EVS, an experienced player.

To put it harshly.

What does it matter to him as an AD if he is at a disadvantage in resources? If AD doesn't take advantage of the situation, how can he get equipment and C?

The voice just fell.

Barrage explosion.

At this moment, the North American audience felt that it was a shame for the senior brother to be the representative of the region. He was crazy about his debut, and he said that everyone here was trash. Anyway, he was young and full of energy, so he could be forgiven.

But 5 years have passed.

Still pretending to be better.

The most important thing is, Big Brother S7 also told the media that he had made adjustments and asked the audience to believe that there was no way he would not qualify. However, he ended up crying in the elimination round and returned to the commentary booth at the speed of light.

This goes on year after year.

How much trust will be eroded?
Why was the transfer period so undignified? It was because TSM disliked the big brother for being bad, but they also knew that the big brother had a strong self-esteem, so they wanted to establish a fait accompli and then tell the big brother: you are no longer needed.

of course.

The management didn’t expect that Big Brother would post a video throwing away the TSM uniform…

In the FNC lounge, Rekkles couldn't hold back when he heard that his senior was playing Yin Yang with him: "What is he thinking? I chose Annie because I want to play her. What does it have to do with being afraid or not?"

"Pfft, I guess he felt great about taking revenge on his old boss."

Hailisang said humorously: "He sent out three tweets in a row during those days, bragging about who was TSM's carry. The show was good at that time and the audience praised him. He didn't believe it, did he? He really thought that TSM couldn't go to the World Championship without him."

"Haha."

Caps was amused by his teammates. He and Bwipo laughed louder and louder: "Is this the legendary Pu Xin?"

"It's fine to blame his teammates for being bad, but how dare he say smlz's damage is low? With his position, he didn't deal any damage. When he was attacked, he just pulled back, fearing that he would be hit by skills."

to the end.

Caps even stopped playing, but Bwipo was still laughing: "I... my stomach hurts a little." Bwipo covered his stomach and laughed until tears came out.

"The third game is between TL and Top. I hope he won't be the carry." Hailisang said softly.

"By him?"

"As long as he has an advantage in the laning phase, he has the courage to act cool - he doesn't think losing is his problem."

at the same time.

Seeing that the eldest brother was talking nonsense to Top, Brother Mai's face turned black.

He can humiliate the bottom lane for its poor positioning and problematic position selection when reviewing the game, but that doesn't mean he allows the senior brother to say that.

finally.

Amid the indignation of the team members, Cvmax said with a gloomy face: "If you don't let him kill you, go back to the hotel and practice more."

Qin Hao: "I'm sure there's a line."

Peanut: "I live down the road."

Jin Gong: "I'll stay T."

When he was hit by the AOE, the old thief was a little confused.

But seeing that everyone was on his side, he suddenly felt warm inside. However, he was not good at speaking, so he could only utter a response that was not a response: "No one dares to say that the mid laner is bad, they all step on me..."
