I'm the chef in T1. The fatter Li Ge is, the stronger I am.

Chapter 162: Snakes and rats are of the same nest! The anti-version jungle core play style!

Wuhan Sports Center.

If time is sufficient, this offline viewing venue, which can accommodate nearly 1 spectators, can accommodate an additional 3000 spectators after a slight renovation.

Tickets for offline group stage matches are not expensive.

In addition, the operations staff of the three teams will hold raffles from time to time.

Even if there are scalpers who drive up ticket prices, there are still many spectators and players who really want to experience the offline viewing environment and can come to the competition venue.

Group stage opener.

Game 1.

The LPL official arranged for Group D's RNG to face TSM.

Game time lasts to 34 minutes.

The head ratio is 14:5, and the economic gap is close to .

and.

The last wave of team battle.

RNG even wiped out TSM with a 0-for-5 exchange.

"No problem! Then we should first congratulate the RNG team for winning the first match of the first round of the group stage! They were the first to get off to a good start!" Wawa's tone was quite excited.

"Yes! Congratulations to our LPL region for getting the first win! Then the next game is the second one! I believe it is also the game that the audience is looking forward to and wants to watch the most! It will start in ten minutes, with the TOP1 team playing against the SKT team!!!" Partner Miller took the opportunity to announce the team lineup for the second game.

Even after the draw ceremony, the official immediately arranged the game schedule for each team.

But many viewers don’t care much about these things, so the commentator needs to be responsible for the voice broadcast to prevent players watching the game offline from missing the key games they want to watch.

TOP1 Lounge.

Xiye sat on the bench, his legs shaking constantly.

"What? You said at MSI that you regretted not being able to play against Faker, and now you have to play against Faker in the first game of the World Championship. Are you getting nervous?"

Wang Yu joked while eating the eggs boiled by coach kkoma.

Although these eggs have no taste, they are a good choice to fill your stomach.

Although the start time of the game was clearly written on the schedule as 2 pm.

However, as professional players, they have to arrive at the venue in advance to avoid 'colliding' with the audience and causing a huge commotion.

Starting early meant that the competition had not started yet, and the players who were required to compete in the first three games had not even had lunch.

"Don't be nervous, Brother Yu, you know that my legs shake every time I get excited!"

There was indeed no sign of nervousness on Xiye's face.

in contrast.

He is also looking forward to his match with Faker.

"Then do you want me to create a 1v1 environment for you? I'll go to the jungle to play with Blank, and you and Faker will be able to solo freely in the middle lane!"

"No! This is a team game! I'm not afraid of Faker in the mid lane, but if you can come and gank, it will definitely make things easier for me."

Jian Xiye didn’t think about showing off just because he was facing Faker.

Wang Yu finally felt relieved and turned to look at the silent Imp: "Pu Pu, why aren't you talking? Is it because you feel too much pressure against Jun Zhi? Do you need me to help you catch him at level 2?"

"Alas," Imp lowered his head, stretched out his hand and pinched his tummy, which felt quite tender, then looked up at Wang Yu with a distressed expression on his face: "Brother Wan Layu! I seem to have gained a little weight again!"

"I report it! Pupu couldn't sleep last night and ordered a serving of fried chicken and French fries! The smell woke me up!" Xiao Ming took the opportunity to inform.

"This is what happens when you're not full. Besides, you've already eaten half of the takeout I ordered, haven't you?" imp said and then sighed.

Obviously.

imp never thought about whether he would be suppressed against bang, but was more worried about his recent weight gain.

"Exercise with me for a week and I guarantee you'll lose weight from an Omp back to an Imp." Wang Yu reached out and handed a peeled egg to the imp.

Imp took it and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing and saying, "Well, let's talk about losing weight after Xiba finishes the World Championship~"

"Don't I know you? You ran away after the World Championship. Who can contact you? It was like this after MSI. I called you a dozen times but you didn't answer!"

"No, no! I won't run away this time! I will lose weight back to 120 pounds this time!"

"Who would believe that? I bet 50 yuan that Imp's weight will not be less than 200 kilograms next year!"

"Kusaxihachi! I follow! I'll add 100!"

"200! I bet on 200!"

At this time.

Kkoma, who had already chosen his color, just returned to the lounge.

Seeing everyone laughing and joking, a smile also appeared on his face.

But then.

Kkoma put away his smile again and said in a serious tone: "Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, stop teasing him. Everyone listen to me. I may have said this before, but I still want to say it again now."

"Ranking in the group stage is important, but our goal has never been to be first in the group! It's to be first in the world!"

"If you want to be number one in the world, you can't rely on luck!"

"Don't ever think that we can't beat this team, but it can't beat the team I can beat, and then put your hopes on other teams!"

"If you hold this mentality, don't blame me for not giving you face."

Finish the harsh words.

Kkoma's tone softened: "Then it's time to let the world know that the championship is about to change hands!"

Inside the competition venue.

As the countdown reaches zero.

The audience shouted in unison the name of the team they supported.

"SKT!"

"SKT!"

"SKT!"

"TOP1!"

"TOP1!"

"TOP1!"

At first, the cheers between the two teams' fans were evenly matched.

But soon.

As more passers-by players joined in.

The voices shouting TOP1 instantly overwhelmed the voices shouting SKT, so much so that by the end, the only voice that could be heard throughout the venue was “TOP1”.

Compared to the opener of the first game.

This clash between the new king and the old king, which is anticipated by countless viewers, is the true opening match of the World Championship!
Different from MSI and competitions between regions.

The scale of the World Championship is so huge that even the player channel has been officially divided into two routes!

The players of both teams walked to the competition stage from the left and right sides, entered the soundproof room and then sat down in their seats.

At this time.

The contestants could still hear the cheers of the enthusiastic audience.

But when everyone put on the noise-isolating headphones, all the noise from the outside world disappeared, and there was only the BP stage in front of them, which was built on a web page and was specially used for the competition.

Soon, a picture appeared on a huge display composed of four monitors.

Wawa and Miller also stopped chatting and focused on the game that was about to begin.

"To be honest, if you cover up the team name, I don't think SKT is that good. But with this team name, everything changes."

"The shadow of a tree, the name of a person, the ID Faker represents a legend!"

Wawa couldn't help but sigh: "No one expected that SKT, which had a terrible performance in the spring season, could make it all the way to the finals in the playoffs! And finally advance to the world championship as the second seed of LCK!"

"Well! This may also be related to the departure of head coach kkoma. The current SKT new coach Jin Jingzhu is still a little slow in adapting to the version. Unlike our TOP1 team's coach kkoma, he makes adjustments in almost every game to help the players adapt to the version." Miller took advantage of the time to share some information about the team coach with the audience and praised the TOP1 team by the way.

Before the World Championship.

Miller can publicly support his favorite team in the commentary booth.

But after the world championship starts.

As the official commentator of LPL, he must support his own team without thinking.

This is also the reason why, although Guan Zeyuan’s commentary ability is very strong, the LPL official most popular commentator award always goes to Wawa, Miller and others every year.

"BO1 competition system! TOP1 team has the priority to choose the side as the No. seed in the division. Coach kkoma chose to start the first game on the blue side!"

"From RNG's performance in the first game, we can see that the blue side still has a big advantage. The terrain advantage allows RNG to quickly rush to kill the big dragon in the mid-game when they have the advantage!"

Because there is no Guan Zeyuan to do the analysis.

The job fell to Miller.

When Miller saw the first banned player on the blue team, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "The first banned player, TOP1, was chosen for Galio?!"

"This is a bit strange. You know, being on the blue side not only has the advantage of terrain, but also has an advantage in BP lineup selection! Generally speaking, even if Galio is banned, it is the red side that sacrifices the ban position." Wawa couldn't help muttering.

"Is it possible that the TOP1 team doesn't want to use Galio, but is not sure whether SKT will use him! So they just ban him directly. After all, several teams used Galio as a support during the qualifying round! And the effect was very good!" Miller explained.

As the son of version.

Although Galio's W flash mechanism has been cut by the designer.

But its skill attribute bonus, tankiness and support speed.

without any exaggeration.

This hero is the most perfect one ever created, and he was born for the game.

Upper middle auxiliary!
All three positions can be swung.

Basically, the team that chooses the red side will reserve a ban slot for Galio by default to prevent him from being taken by the opponent, thus forming a lineup of Shen + Galio/Prince + Galio, which is a mindless ADC lineup for team fights.

"Let's see what hero SKT is going to ban?" Wawa said in a distressed tone, "Ban Nidalee immediately? I can only describe it in two words: respect! To be honest, I really want to see Emolove use Nidalee as a jungler again!"

"Then your idea may fail. Although the other two teams in Group A are not very strong, they will definitely not be careless. I'm afraid we won't be able to see Emolove's Nidalee until the end of the group stage." Miller couldn't help laughing.

At this time last year, they were still worried that Emolove, who was "serving" in SKT, would take out Nidalee.

I didn't expect the situation to reverse so much at this time of the year.

“Do you really have to be so respectful?”

Kim Jung-joo, the new coach of SKT, obviously couldn't understand it.

To put it harshly.

The hero Nidalee is not suitable for the current version.

A mere anti-version hero.

Why does it occupy such an important ban position?
"Coach, you don't understand."

Blank, who has been the starting jungler for nearly a year, has gradually grown up and no longer looks like a rookie.

After answering the coach's question, he subconsciously turned his head to look across.

The glass of the soundproof room is transparent.

Although the soundproof rooms for the two competitions are quite far apart, you can still see the expressions on the opposing players' faces if you look closely.

at this time.

Wang Yu was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, resting, without any reaction to anything happening outside.

The first round of BP is over.

It's the blue team's turn to go first!
"Well, I think we should give Duke the top lane first? Sejuani, do you want to pick her? Locked!" Wawa frowned upon seeing this, and said in a puzzled tone: "The blue team banned Galio and then picked Sejuani? Emolove is an offensive jungler. Even if the current version favors herbivorous tank junglers, with the overall strength of TOP1, he doesn't need to follow the version at all!"

"The red team picked Lulu and Gragas. Lulu can be used as a mid laner or a support. Faker has used Lulu quite a lot this year. As for Gragas, Huni and Blank have also used him in the top lane."

Miller wants to work hard to analyze SKT's lineup.

but.
BP lineup selection between strong teams.

Nothing can be seen until the last moment.

"TOP1 here! First they got Snake Lady in the mid lane, and then they got Rat. These two outputs matched with Sejuani were a very good choice! The continuous output and instant burst are also tanky enough. It depends on how the support and top laner can fill in the gap." Wawa couldn't help but get excited.

"I feel like I can get Karma!"

The baby just finished speaking.

next second.

SKT's third floor took Karma without hesitation.

"Ouch! I let TOP1 choose, why are you SKT joining in? Whether it's Lulu or Karma in the mid lane, the AP output is a bit weak!" Wawa said a little unhappy.

soon.

The lineups for both teams have been finalized.

However, in the position allocation stage.

TOP1 still gave everyone a big surprise!

"Rat as jungler? Sejuani as top laner! Then who is the ADC?" Wawa looked at the TOP1's avatar on the fourth floor with a shocked look: "Ah? Tam as ADC?! Titan as support!"

"This TOP1 bottom lane two melee short-handed combination is very resilient and has control, but how do they cope with laning?" Miller was also puzzled.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed!

Blue side TOP1:

Top lane - Pig girl
Jungle - Rat
Mid lane - Snake Lady
ADC - Tam
Support - Titan
Red side SKT:

Top lane - Gnar
Jungler - Gragas
Mid laner - Karma

ADC - Tristana
Support - Lulu
The director deliberately gave the camera to the core players of both teams.

Faker was seen with his brows slightly frowned, his expression extremely serious, and his mouth moving slightly as if he was communicating with his teammates about some tactics.

The same was true for Wang Yu, except that his expression was more relaxed and he would smile from time to time, as if everything was under his control.

Enter the loading screen.

After seeing that the snake girl didn’t bring any kindling.

Faker was unexpectedly relieved: "My laning in the middle lane will be very uncomfortable. If the rat catches the middle lane at level 1, I will most likely be killed directly."

"Well, given Brother Yu's personality, there's a high chance that he'll catch him at level 1. Brother Xianghe, should we start the game by forming a group and invading their lower zone? Should we first determine Rat's route to the wild?" Blank gave his suggestion.

Faker pondered for a moment until the loading screen ended, then he nodded: "Okay, but be careful, the enemy may be waiting for us to invade together."

"I'll take the first position. Anyway, I just need to determine the opponent jungler's route to open the jungle. I'll learn E at level 1!" Huni smiled confidently.

next second.

The light curtain dissipated.

The ten contestants standing at the edge of the fountain immediately started to move.
