After the group stage promotional video was played, Emperor Pao Xiao also announced today's opening match.

Samsung geng versus ym!

Amid the applause from the scene, the players from the two teams also came on stage and took their seats in the competition seats on the stage.

In the official live broadcast room of the LPL event, today's three commentators, Wang Duoduo, Hao Kai, and Tong Xi, also appeared in front of the camera.

"The long-awaited group stage finally started today. I was so excited when I watched the promotional video just now." Hao Kai said with a smile, "Today's first game is the focus of Group D. Friends who have seen the schedule in advance

We must be impatient."

"This year's YM and Samsung really feel like rivals," Wang Duoduo pushed up his glasses, "They were overturned by YM in the MSI finals, and half of the Samsung players in the Asian Games were dominated by YM Ueno."

"Now that we meet again at home in South Korea, I think Samsung wants to prove itself."

"Indeed," Tong Xi nodded, "I checked Twitter yesterday. It was said that Samsung had been training until four o'clock in the morning to prepare for the opening game. There should be a lot of things prepared today, and everyone can look forward to it."

After the players were in position, the director also gave information about side selection for the first round.

ym got the right to choose the side and took the initiative to choose the red side.

In the rhythmic music, the bp picture appears in the live broadcast room.

"Samsung's first ban was given to Alistar the Taurus. This is also the support with the greatest enhancement in the 8.19 version update. It ranks first in the appearance rate among the hard support in the start of the team."

"On the other hand, YM banned Kai'Sa, and they also know very well that this is the blue side's only choice if they are not banned."

Both sides quickly completed the first round of bans.

It's the blue square's turn to complete the first choice.

Coach Edger, who was wearing a light gray suit, was pacing back and forth, making careful choices with an expression on his face.

The prince's portrait appeared on the window on the first floor, and was then locked.

After the prince was established, the director also cut out the jungler position, An Zhan, to use the prince's data. He used the prince's data in a total of 17 games in the LCK Summer League, and won all of them.

The camera turned around, and on the other side of the ym competition table, Meng Ma, who had a Korean-style perm, also quickly arranged to win the pig girl and ice girl.

The first round selection was completed quickly.

Blue square three stars: prince, policewoman, Luo

Red square ym: pig girl, ice girl, wheel mom

"Judging from the situation in the qualifying rounds, the current winning rate of herbivorous junglers is still very high. Ym's pig girl can get it no problem. If they grab the ice girl secondly, geng's side should not be so eager to get the demon girl.

Damn it." Hao Kai nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Crown is not originally a laning player. When he played against Knight on MSI, he also competed on the speed of roaming support. Looking at the first round alone, I feel that the early rhythm of both sides is not very fast. You can consider getting a vampire in the middle.

Or crows and the like slowly beat down." Tong Xi analyzed.

After the two ban positions were used up in the second round, the red square ym’s fourth choice locked down the auxiliary Lulu.

The counter position is still reserved for the top laner.

Edger understood this lineup as soon as he saw it. With the ice girl and pig girl, and there is no shortage of group starts, ym will definitely bring a hero with explosive damage to the top lane.

It was unrealistic to forcefully stabilize it, but he was prepared.

The blue square locked Tsar Yasuo on the fourth and fifth floors one after another!

"Samsung picked out two heroes, Tsar and Yasuo, at the same time in the second round! Is this going to be a mid-to-high swing after seeing ym's final selection?" Wang Duoduo said in surprise.

In the summer split, Yasuo is not considered unpopular as a top laner, not to mention that the new version has been strengthened.

But it is not impossible for the Czar to take the road. If the opponent takes an AP hero and takes the road, Samsung can also deal with it.

"Samsung was indeed fully prepared today. It seems that it has done in-depth research on the Kangte position of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology." Hao Kai praised.

But having said that, the initiative is still in ym's hands.

The entire opponent's lineup has been established, and the rest depends on what Su Chen chooses.

The camera focuses on him.

In the opening game of the S8 World Championship, Su Chen's expression was still calm and he was having final communication with Meng Ma.

ym's final selection was not procrastinating. It only took four or five seconds before a heroic character emerged.

The bearded man holding a double-barreled shotgun said in a low voice.

"I walk with death!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the Busan BEXCO venue. The audience looked at each other, some were surprised and some were delighted.

"Ym's last choice for the Counter position is the male gunman Graves!"

"Is Jiang Keda going to use a male gun??"

Although the three commentators had been mentally prepared, they really did not expect it when they saw the last man showing his gun.

In the current version, the male gun is an outstanding representative of wild core heroes. This is due to the hero mechanism itself. In the 1v1 situation in the jungle, the male gun is very aggressive.

However, after switching to a solo lane, the characteristics of the male gun hero such as short range, lack of control, reliance on equipment, and lack of flexibility became apparent.

The mid lane is fine, but in the top lane where the lanes are relatively long, male guns rarely appear.

When Su Chen got the male gun, the director specially gave Xiao Tian a shot.

Before this, it had always been him who used the male gun on ym, but now he had a sly smile on his face, which also showed that ym had already thought about the tactics of the male gun's top laner.

"Now it's Geng's turn to make a choice, Tsar or Yasuo, which hero will go up?" Hao Kai said with a smile.

If the Tsar is on the road, he has the advantage of long hands and can safely replenish his development. After level three, he will not be caught by his opponents.

But Yasuo is stronger in the lane, and the W Wind Wall is very restrained against male guns. If used properly, Yasuo can complete the lane kill.

After some deliberation, Samsung finally moved Yasuo to the window on the first floor and let Khan use him to walk up.

"Although the Czar can also move up, Samsung is probably afraid that Knight's Ice Girl will wander around, allowing Crown Brother to follow him in the middle to avoid YM's rhythm." Wang Duoduo said.

The lineups of both sides are all established before entering the game.

The director also cut a short pre-match interview.

Players from both sides appeared one after another and talked about their feelings entering the World Championships.

"Being assigned to the same group as YM in the World Championship is indeed bad news. After all, we lost to them twice this year," Khan said with a helpless smile. "After losing the Asian Games, I was a little depressed, but my teammates

The encouragement made me cheer up again. JKD is like my inner demon. I hope that by defeating him, I can regain my confidence. I will definitely win today’s game.”

On the other side, Su Chen had a smile on his calm face after hearing the host relaying Khan's words.

"I'm looking forward to it, please feel free to challenge me."

After the short video is played, the competition officially begins!

The camera switches back and forth between the canyon, with ten heroes gushing out of the spring and taking their respective positions between the wild area and the river.

During this period, the director also specially gave a close-up shot of Su Chen's male gun, showing off his talent and outfit.

"In this game, JKD's male gun actually chose the development equipment [Extraction] when going out, and he also brought [Theft Omen]. Is this the main development?" Hao Kai asked curiously.

"There is a certain explanation for the male gun carrying [Extraction], because his level A comes with an AOE effect. The more targets he hits, the more health points he steals. The recovery effect is no worse than that of Dolan Sword, jkd

This male gunman should have his own understanding of the outfit." Tong Xi's understanding is still quite good.

"Besides, Yasuo is also in close combat, so he can steal money through theft, but the Khan on the opposite side is leading a Conqueror. Maybe before the first wave goes home, the male gunner will be weaker." Wang Duoduo analyzed.

"You have to give it a try. Jiang Keda's thinking may be that Khan should not give him a chance to kill alone in the early stage, so he just wants to develop online." Tong Xi added.

At the beginning, neither party met.

The prince who is in charge of An is in the lower half of the area, and Xiaotian's pig girl is squatting in the red buff camp with the male gun.

The ice girl on the left hand has been stuck in the pass of the wild area, preventing the opponent from having vision.

After the wild monsters were refreshed, the male gunman held a double-barreled shotgun and hit a red buff with a set of aeaa. Three rounds of bullets hit the red buff's head.

And Pig Girl also wielded the iron whip, hitting the red buff full of passives.

Just when the commentators praised Su Chen for sacrificing lane rights and taking the initiative to help Xiaotian clear the field.

An unexpected scene happened.

After the red buff's health reached half, Xiaotian's Pig Girl immediately pressed Punishment.

Then he immediately turned around and ran towards f6.

The red buff with residual health was taken away by a bullet from the male gun!

"Eh??ym Is this a coordination error? Did Pig Girl's first red buff be directly eaten by the male gun?" Hao Kai was dumbfounded.

But when he saw the left-hand Ice Girl taking the initiative to use skills to help Pig Girl consume a wave of f6, he felt that this was not a coincidence.

"Looking at the pig girl doing this immediately after she was punished, it shouldn't be an accident that the male gun got the red. Was it Jiang Zi's fun?" Tong Xi even laughed.

On the other side, Khan's Yasuo was still squatting in the grass, thinking about why the male gun didn't show its head.

A male gunman with a red buff walked over from the river.

Khan was immediately confused.
