Chapter 277 [Come on! G2! 】(1/2)
After all day 3 matches are over.
Su Chen took Xiaotian with him, and the two accepted the post-match interview with host sjokz.
Probably because it was his first interview with a foreigner, Xiaotian seemed much more nervous than in LPL.
I was hunched over the whole time, not daring to look at Sjokz who was smiling and stumbling even when answering questions.
Today sjokz is still dressed very charmingly. She wears a tight suit skirt and fish-mouth high heels, which perfectly outlines her proud figure.
Seeing Xiaotian's unswerving gaze in the live broadcast, the audience members also ridiculed him for being a tactical suppressor.
"Congratulations to ym for achieving six consecutive victories in the group stage. This is also the best result in the lpl division since the beginning of msi. Is this what you expected before coming to Berlin?" sjokz asked the topic again
It’s Su Chen.
Although Xiaotian's performance today was very eye-catching, breaking the stereotype of him in one fell swoop.
But she was still more interested in Su Chen.
Compared to a young boy, Su Chen, a mature and somewhat mysterious man, is more able to arouse her enthusiasm, well, in all aspects.
"Although the ultimate goal is to win the championship, we will not deliberately strive for any record. We will just prepare carefully for every game." Su Chen replied.
"Achieving this result is not only YM's record, but also the progress of the entire LPL division."
sjokz nodded approvingly: "You are now very leader-like."
In the past few days of the group stage, she watched a lot of Su Chen's previous games.
When he first joined LPL, Su Chen gave people the impression during the interview that he was not sure whether he was too upright or just a newbie, crazy and arrogant.
Looks too sharp.
After winning the league championship and coming to MSI, Su Chen seemed to have matured a lot.
He will always mention the club and the competition region in his words, and will not care too much about his own record.
sjokz couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This person is a player destined to leave a record in the history of lol.
"Last question," sjokz switched cards, "You have a good chance of qualifying as the top spot in the group stage, and you will have the right to choose your first-round opponent. Which team do you prefer to play against at the moment?
"
According to the competition rules of this year’s MSI.
The first place team in the group stage can choose its opponent among the third and fourth places.
Generally speaking, in order to ensure entering the finals, most people will pick the weak team to play, which is basically a matchup of first against fourth.
"I can't answer this question for you," Su Chen smiled slightly, "There are two days left in the group stage, and no one knows what will happen next."
"I don't like to say things too early and celebrate before reaching the finish line. Such behavior is tantamount to suicide."
"But no matter who we face in the knockout rounds, we will treat it with 100% strength."
After finishing the interview, we returned to the hotel.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening.
The dozen or so people who accompanied ym all gathered in a large box that was rented as a conference room.
There were more than twenty plates of various sizes on the long table, all of which were Chinese dishes.
The team members who had not eaten dinner were already hungry, so they rolled up their sleeves and started moving.
Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, Xiao Ma brought over the champagne that he had planned to open during the day. However, under the gaze of everyone, he was unable to open the cap of the champagne bottle for a long time, which made him blush with embarrassment.
"Chess!" Zhang Xiaowen gestured with the cup in a decent manner, then took a sip, his expression instantly distorted.
"What does this smell like?"
"Are you Long Ming? You don't even know how to drink champagne." Xiaotian mocked him unceremoniously and took a sip himself. As a result, his expression also became distorted.
Seeing their reactions, the left hand on the side also sniffed the cup with a suspicious look on his face.
"I'll let you drink Sprite from now on." Xiao Ma said angrily.
Everyone was laughing and enjoying the late night snack.
During this period, the team's boss pdd also made a video call, and his face looked rosy in the camera.
He seems to be recovering well, and the double chin that had disappeared has grown back again.
Meng Ma and Su Chen were discussing the arrangements for the remaining two match days.
"I think we should try to get the first place and qualify. This is not just a matter of recording or not." Meng Ma picked up a piece of boiled fish and put it in his mouth. "When it comes to the knockout rounds...well, I have more initiative."
"Samsung, g2 has already locked two positions. The rest depends on whether it is TSM or Flash Wolf." Su Chen thought while sipping champagne.
If the Flash Wolves advance to the semi-finals, ym will choose him without hesitation.
After all, the only strong point of this team is Hanabi on the top lane.
This kind of competition between the two sides to see who is the best on the road, ym is very willing to play.
However, if it comes from tsm, that is not necessarily the case.
After all, the senior brother in the bottom lane is the best AD player in this year's competition besides Chiku.
If we really want to compete, ym may still be willing to compete with g2 in the middle and jungle, rather than exposing his weakness to tsm.
"Then it seems that it would be better for Flash Wolf to enter the semi-finals," Meng Ma thought, "War Horse has been communicating with me in the past two days. I will go and have a chat with him."
Su Chen nodded.
Group stage day 4.
The first battle will be between Flash Wolves and EVs.
After 34 minutes of fierce fighting.
The Flash Wolves unfortunately lost, and EVS finally won its first victory in the MSI group stage on the fourth day.
In this game, Flash Wolf will lose. To put it simply, there is something wrong with his thinking.
Let’s not mention Kasha, the strongest AD in EVS this year besides ez.
In my own bottom lane, I have built a wheel mother and a Kalma to play with the lane flow.
In the middle maple, there are heroes like Airplane, Ryze, and Enchantress who are strong in the mid-to-late game, and I took Zoe to play poke.
evs directly backhanded out a Morgana mid laner, making Maple invisible for the whole game.
However, this Vietnamese Iron Man finally exploded once. On the road, Jace killed Hanabi's Crocodile twice.
After watching the last five Lightning Wolves fall ill and be wiped out by the group, Su Chen also twitched the corner of his mouth. He turned to look at Meng Ma and found that he was looking out the window and lost in thought.
Day 4 full-day schedule.
The Flash Wolves lost to evs first and then to tsm, falling out of the top four teams early.
After Samsung won G2, they unexpectedly lost to TSM, scoring only six points and failing to overtake YM on the fourth day.
And ym won a complete victory again, leading the pack with a record of 8-0!
The rankings of the group stage are also basically determined.
YM firmly takes the top spot, followed by Samsung, while G2 and TSM fall into the third or fourth place.
As the rankings are established, the day 5 schedule becomes insignificant.
All teams also played very restrained.
Samsung lost to g2, and g2 also lost to Flash Wolves.
In the final game, the teams that entered the top four also played in a secretive manner, trying not to give their opponents a chance to spy on them.
In the last game of the finale against Flash Wolves, ym led for 25 minutes, then the whole team made a wave and was overturned by Flash Wolves, finally giving them a victory.
In the end, YM advanced to the MSI semi-finals with a record of 9-1!
This is also the best result of the LPL division team since the MSI was held in 2015!
After winning the game, War Horse was still very excited. After the game, he went to the ym lounge to say goodbye.
"It's such a pity that I couldn't compete with you in the knockout round." War Horse said with regret, "It's a shame that I studied YM for so long."
"It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you win a game? It's hard to say if we're going to meet in the knockout round." Meng Ma said angrily.
"Don't comfort me. If you can't even see the difference in team strength, I don't need to be this coach." War Horse also smiled and shook his head.
In the past few years in the LMS division, Flash Wolves have been unable to make a breakthrough in international competitions.
MSI failed to make it out of the group stage, which was another blow to Warhorse.
Perhaps, the team building philosophy and tactical direction he has always adhered to are wrong.
Looking at Su Chen in front of him and Xiaotian standing behind him, his left hand.
War Horse couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.
What kind of team and players can defeat this ym in front of them?
To be continued...
