Rise Chapter 506: Showing attitude
The MSI Mid-Season Competition’s rules and regulations are very simple.
The six participating teams from all major divisions will first have two rounds of group matches. Each team has played a total of two rounds of 10 games, and the top four will advance to the semi-finals based on the accumulated points of wins and losses.
The semi-final begins and enters the BO5 format.
The four teams will then decide the winners, and the two winning teams will advance to the finals.
The finals are also BO5.
The first team to win three wins is the MSI champion.
According to a basic situation in previous years, the six teams in the six major divisions will be ranked in a simple strength ranking. There is no suspense. The teams in the wild card division are at the bottom. 5. Occasionally, there may be a sudden burst and rush forward, but it is still not as good as the remaining other established competition areas.
Go forward--
It is the LPL division of the national service, and the two LCS divisions of Europe and the United States are basically in a similar situation. The data of various international competitions in previous years also shows that the three major divisions always win each other, it is difficult to say Whoever is better than anyone else.
So the teams in these three regions are often classified as the same echelon, and the LMS region of the Taiwan server is considered to be half a position behind.
The last remaining Hanbok LCK division is recognized as the strongest division of the first echelon.
But in fact, from the past years, the LCK division's lead to the second echelon behind is not completely impossible to catch up. Sometimes, it is also caught up by the second echelon team.
So their lead is also considered to be only half the lead.
If you look at this kind of judgment and analysis, this year's MSI Mid-Season Tournament should be an extremely competitive event with a lot of suspense.
Basically, with the exception of the wild card division that is destined to serve as a backdrop for the green leaves, it is difficult to say who will be the last in the competition between the representative teams of the other five major divisions-even if in theory it seems to be the fifth highest In the Taiwan service division, it may not be impossible to burst out upsets and pull off the strongest Hanbok division.
However.
When this time the MSI officially kicked off.
When the representative teams from the six major divisions quickly entered the fierce battle.
Almost immediately, everyone discovered this year’s MSI, which may not be judged by the old ideas of the past.
Everything.
Compared to previous years, earth-shaking new changes have taken place.
……
To some extent, this year’s MSI is not completely different from previous years.
At least, in the first round of the group stage, the two major European and North American LCS regions, as well as the LMS region of the Taiwan server, from the MLG team to the Season team, and then to the Assassin team——
The various confrontations between the three teams are still familiar fierce stalemates, which are easy to distinguish between each other.
The assassin won MLG.
MLG beats Season.
Season turned around again, and cut off the assassin.
To put it simply, these three teams competed with each other, and the first round results were all 1 wins and 1 loss, and no one took more advantage.
Then the three teams each easily won a victory from the representative team in the wild card division, so after four games, the overall result was 2 wins and 1 loss.
The record is exactly the same, and the score is very tight.
For the audience of ordinary players from all over the world, this scene is also quite familiar, no wonder.
But.
This is only after temporarily excluding the other two teams.
If the two representative teams from the National Service LPL Division and the Hanbok LCK Division are also included, then--
Everything is completely different from previous years.
If you include the God-Hand of God and SSK teams.
So, the other four MSI teams will have to add two more defeats to their first round results.
In other words, God-Hand of God and SSK won all four games in the first round against the top teams in the four major regions of Wild Cards, Europe, America and Taiwan.
It is not surprising that SSK can have such results.
But God-God's Hand does the same thing, which is enough to amaze the outside world and make countless fans of national server players ecstatic!
This year's LPL...
It has really risen!
……
Previously, it was said that according to the assessment of regional strength, the national service LPL competition should be comparable to the European LCS and North American LCS competitions. There is a chance to win or lose.
For the assassins who took the stage to serve the LMS division, the same cannot be said of a stable victory.
It's in the first round of this MSI group match----
God-Hand of God defeated MLG, Assassin and Season one after another!
Faced with the three powerful enemies who are the top French kings in Europe, the top junglers of the Seven Kings, and the gods of the world's support, the God team has shown a more amazing style this time!
Victory!
Compared with this, there is even more shocking and even ecstatic news.
The God-Hands of God team’s complete first-round group record will be included in the calculation of the four games against wild cards, Taiwanese and European and American divisions.
It's a five-game victory.
In contrast, the SSK team, which also won the other four BO1 matches, ended up with a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the first round.
God-Hand of God and Team SSK collided for the first time in the first round of the group stage, and the former won.
On this basis, it seems that it is enough to shock the entire e-sports circle. Once considered to be only in the second echelon, God-God’s hand is now not only among the ranks of the first echelon, it even seems The SSK team that was once the only one has been removed from the first echelon——
And the God team seems to want the first echelon to monopolize it!
However, such news has a regrettable footnote——
The first defeat of the SSK team has a very reasonable reason that no one can fault.
Because.
In the first round of the group stage, what the SSK team sent was not a complete lineup of their own team.
As the core of the team's soul and the biggest trump card, the world's No. 1 mid laner.
SSK's captain F-Han Shihao.
Not playing.
……
"Unprecedented!"
The battle reports and professional reviews of major online forums and social media platforms continue to go viral.
The most visible one is such an evaluation.
Represents the unspeakable and complicated mood of countless ordinary players, fans, professionals in the professional e-sports circle, and senior professional commentators and commentators.
This is not just a little joke...
It’s a serious one, the specification level is almost second only to the top international events of the S Series World Championship~IndoMTL.com~ Every team participating in the competition, even if the wild card division is by no means underdog, the rest are all major The top teams in the established divisions.
Among them, in every round from the group stage, the victory or defeat is extremely important, and it is directly related to whether it can advance. No team dares to relax in such a situation, except for its full strength. Go all out, or go all out.
It can be partial--
In this MSI mid-season game, as the SSK team recognized as the strongest in the world today, they made such a move that can be described as risking the world.
Four main first team members were on board.
In the most critical mid laner position, it was supposed to be their most ace winning player, but they did not send the world's number one mid laner that was enough to make a final decision.
Only a single player from the second team will be on the bench.
Such a move, even if it does not make any other announcements, seems to have shown an attitude to the world.
Contempt.
Feel free.
The MSI, the champion of the spring show in several major competitions.
I don’t need my main ace to play.
