Chapter 79: The face hurts Angel
The first game of the loser group stage is JDG vs. G2.

In this regard, domestic netizens have different opinions on this schedule arrangement.

One side believes that JDG’s schedule is so tight that they won’t have enough rest time.

One side believes that this is an advantage for JDG because their hands are already warmed up after playing consecutive games.

But no matter how we discuss it, the game will start on time at 5 pm on May 9th, domestic time.

JDG won 3:1 in the early morning and G2 fell into the loser group.

In the first two games, there was a visible gap between the two teams. JDG still used its familiar tactics, and G2 had no ability to break the deadlock.

In the third game, JDG started to do scientific research. Knight's mid laner Titan was a little happy. He was attacked by Cap King first and Syndra was used as a piggy bank to withdraw money crazily. He raised a top-level mage, so he naturally lost the game.

People in China who stayed up late to watch the games are complaining. Do they like working overtime so much?
The anti-corruption bar has already denounced Knight.

It is worth mentioning that G2's AD—Hans Sama began to show his prowess. After four games, he was not at a big disadvantage against the ruler.

Ruler said in the interview that there was pressure in the bottom lane and he was optimistic about G2's AD player.

This made G2 fans optimistic again, and they all said that G2 will definitely make it out of the loser group!
After watching the first game, Xia Sen and his friends felt that the MSI version was indeed similar to what they expected, and the jungler was playable.

G2 junglers Yike and kanavi both played two games, and it seems that as long as the mid lane can have rhythm, the effect will be very good.

At the same time, it also causes Annie's priority to be raised again. She has to be banned in this bo5.

"To be honest, the mid and jungle of Nidalee and Ice Maiden are only okay in the early stages. Once the opponent has Mercury's Boots, it becomes very difficult to play."

Xia Sen pointed at the screen and said, "I still prefer JD as the mid and jungle, Titan and the Ruined King, or Galio and Kindred."

"But the jungle core is not the answer to the version. It can only be said that it is playable. The effect of a tool jungler paired with a DPS mid laner is not bad." Tabe said behind him.

Xia Sen nodded. The mid lane is too important in this version, and the pressure is huge.

As for the bottom lane, it has completely become a late-stage big C. No one plays Luna anymore. Everyone thinks it is a version trap.
Then, Tabe briefly reviewed a few key points of the game, and then everyone got back into the rank game.

This continued until 12pm on the th, the prime time in China, when the last game of the first round of the loser group stage finally began.

BLG vs GG.

The previous matches were exactly as everyone expected online, with the three European and American teams falling into the loser group.

JDG, T1, and Gen.G all advanced.

JDG will face T1 in the next round, and the winner of today will face Gen.G.

GG is the only North American team in LCS, and even European netizens are cheering for them.

But the interesting thing about this team is that they have three Korean players, which causes the LCK team to cheer for them with all their might.

As a result, BLG was surrounded and had the whole world as its enemy.

"Hydromyces suis?"

"Top floor upstairs."

"Don't they say that a team can only have two foreign players?"

"I don't know, but the mid laner ID is very familiar, and I can't remember it right away."

"That guy who gave Faker a thumbs-down after winning the game was cyberbullied and had to leave LCK."

Netizens are discussing the topic heatedly.

Several BLG players have already entered the venue. The opposing player Gori has a super account certification, and Xia Sen has encountered him several times.

He felt that the opponent's mid laner was very timid and didn't like to roam around. Instead, he hoped that the opponent would roam so that he could develop without pressure in the lane.

His laning strength is quite average. This is what Xia Sen felt when facing him in the simulation space. As for some of his small details, they are also very obvious. It is not difficult to beat him.

However, Xia Sen still kept a calm mind, thinking to himself that he should not underestimate his opponent and must take it seriously.

Take a deep breath, and the guide next to you says something shocking.

"Three Korean players is a bit sexy, so this is the third seed of LCK?"

"It really is."

Except for On, no one paid any attention to him and hurried into the lounge.

The main venue of Elizabeth Olympic Park - Copper Box Arena!
The venue is fully occupied at this time, so there should be quite a few spectators.

Although the number of people was so dense that it was difficult to distinguish, the cheers never stopped.

"Welcome to the 2023 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational Losers' Group Stage!"

"Today's match is between BLG, the No. 1 seed from LPL! Against GG, the No. 2 seed from LCS (North America)!"

"."

After an introduction.
"Please invite the players from both teams!"

Xia Sen and others walked down from the stage. It must be said that the decoration of this venue was like an octagonal cage, with a strong post-war style.

Once playing in Europe and the United States, no matter what team it is, it can enjoy home court treatment.

Xia Sen waved his hands in response to the enthusiasm of the audience below, feeling a little nervous as it was his first time playing in front of foreigners.

Xia Sen glanced at the opponent's mid laner and had an average impression of him.

It's so rude of this guy to give a thumbs up vertically after the game. This is not the way to show off.

Learn more from Angela, kids. That’s the top textbook.

Besides, Angel already has a grudge against Weibo, so where does the grudge between you and T1 come from?
Outside, the audience who had been waiting in front of the live broadcast room for a long time were very much looking forward to the game.

"You can't lose a single game against GG, right?"

"Can't lose. In the whole spring, BLG only lost a small game to JDG. What is he GG?"

"Not necessarily. After all, the three Korean players seem to have some value."

"Which three?"

"The three Nakanosuke brothers."

"So what language do they use to communicate within the team?"

"Don't worry about it, just cheer for BLG. Finish the game quickly so you can go to sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."

"I have to work on Saturday, I'm a bit confused buddy."

"I want to see Xia Shen play Jayce again, let Zus see that mid lane Jayce is the god!"

"Get off to a good start!" venue.

The European commentator is making small talk at the start.

"Is this the mid laner who has become famous in our server recently?"

"It was him. Jankos was knocked out by him for three games in a row. He went offline right after the game and said on Twitter that he would wait until MSI was over before playing League of Legends again."

"Haha, is it that miserable?"

"Yes, a little bit. I watched the game content of those few games. This player likes to cooperate with his jungler to invade the opponent's jungle area, so Jankos... you know."

"And the mid-jungle closeness rate of BLG is indeed very high, a little higher than T1?"

"Isn't it just a big step away?"

"Haha, leaving this topic, I wonder what kind of lineup this team will use in today's game, or what hero the mid laner will choose?"

"Twisted Fate and Jayce are the cards he plays the most in rank, but GG must have some news about them, but it's probably not going to be released."

"Then there may not be enough ban slots. It depends on how GG drafts."

"The dominance JDG showed in the past few days was already scary enough. Now I wonder how terrifying BLG will be after beating them three times in this spring season."

"To be honest, I'm a little envious of them for having so many great players in their region."

"hint?"

The equipment debugging time is long and the competition is still in the countdown.

LPL commentary booth.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Duoduo."

"Big guy, I'm Xiaosan."

"Hello everyone, I'm Rita."

Wang Duoduo: "BLG's opening show is finally here. As a team with three Korean players, we still can't underestimate GG."

"Yes, but it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, JDG has already helped BLG test the waters. I believe there won't be too much pressure." Xiaosan felt it was okay. After all, GG was defeated by JDG in the qualifying round.

If JDG can win, there’s no reason why BLG can’t win, right?
"That's right, but no matter what, we still have to remain humble in the face of the game. This game probably depends on the performance of the mid laners on both sides, which is exactly what we are least worried about. After all, BLG's mid laner is Bighan."

Rita said seriously that she was also a female fan of bighand and watched every game.

Xia Sen certainly didn’t know that he had almost taken over all the female commentators in LPL.

At this point everyone has completed debugging and quickly entered the BP interface.

GG prioritizes blue side, BLG red.

At the beginning, GG's three bans were: Kindred, Galio, and Twisted Fate.

Xia Sen was not surprised. Others must have done their homework and really treated this as a trip.

"They have intelligence brothers."

BLG's three bans: Quesanti, Kennen, and Treant.

Wang Duoduo: "It seems that BLG is also prepared. GG's top laner used both of his unique skills."

"Yes, and this is also a strong hero in this version. If it is banned, Brother Bin might play with weapons instead."

GG is not stupid and snatched the weapons on the first floor.

Tabe was not surprised by this, he was just trying it out.

Bin raised his eyebrows, his heart beating with the desire to play Sword Girl.

The red team locks down Jasmakai on the first and second floors.

Wang Duoduo cheered: "Here we go, Jasmauke mid-jungle."

"BLG beat JDG in the finals with this set. JDG also used it a few days ago. It turned out to be very effective!"

Xiaosan: "And it doesn't have to be mid or jungle, Bin can also play Jayce, and there is a saying about playing with weapons!"

On the second and third floors of the blue side, I didn’t think much about locking down the mid and jungle of Sylas and Sejuani.

Riat: "Sylas? From the previous games, it seems that his effect is quite average. Is he good against Jayce?"

"I have intelligence on Gori. He is not good at traditional mages. On the contrary, these magic assassins and warrior mid laners are very strong. Sylas' fight against Jayce depends on the blood exchange in the front."

"Yes, and you have to be careful at level 6 Jayce. Sylas can come up and use a steal ultimate and transform to kill people instantly." Xiaosan has a lot of experience in this game.

Xia Sen was a little surprised that the opponent chose to use Sylas to deal with the situation. Normally, they would choose to use a long-range mage to suppress the opponent.

And the pig girl can also eat poke and the tree son of the big tree in front.

It seems like their BP is quite good.

As expected, how could there be weak teams in the World Championship, even if this is MSI.

The subsequent BP will be very quick.

tabe talked a lot today, and after the BP was over, he gave everyone some chicken soup.

Especially Xia Sen.

"Xia Senni plays well in the laning phase. His strength is average. If you push him too hard in the laning phase, he will put pressure on his teammates. Their team cohesion is not high, and they will explode when they are under pressure!"

Xia Sen was a little confused. What did that mean? Tabe is still making these preparations, so he needs to know about this in advance?
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.

GG (blue) Weapon Master, Sejuani, Sylas, bottom lane Aphelios (sprint) and Titan (ignite).

BLG (Red) Gwen, Maokai, Jayce, bottom lane Jinx (Sprint) and Garbraun (Ignite).

Xiaosan savored the details: "GG's lineup selection is quite impressive, especially the top, mid and jungle. They are all melee Pig Girls and are very good at ganking."

"BLG still didn't choose to move Jayce to the top lane, thinking that the mid lane can play well."

"Bin's Gwen has a circle, Braum has a shield, the teamfight depends on pulling and shoving."

"Or it depends on how much Jasmauke can poke before a teamfight, just like in the game against JDG."

"GG's lineup in this game is very tanky and can absorb a lot of damage."

"But BLG has obviously changed its formation, and it is no longer a pure poke system. They will not be weak to you in team fights."
