After the six group matches were played on the first day of the Mid-Season Cup, the game was not over yet.

The three teams jdg, tes and dwg have the same score and need to play two more extra games. The first seed will be determined by dwg and tes, who have a shorter average winning time per game, and then the loser of the two teams and jdg will determine the second seed.

The result was that the jungler Karsa of the Tobo team turned into a pizza in adversity and led the team to defeat in both games.

Although the TES team is originally the cannon fodder for third place in the LPL, being eliminated is not an upset.

But it is a pity that we missed the scene where both LPL teams were promoted. You can imagine the disappointment of LPL fans towards TES at this moment.

But objectively speaking, compared to the situation where SKT, the favorites of LCK, were eliminated, TES' embarrassing performance in the two extra games is not so unbearable.

What Jian You noticed was that dwg seemed to be getting more courageous as he fought!

She watched the game with her teammates. It was already past nine o'clock that day, and they continued to play a training match. She selected the long-lost mid laner Ryze, experienced the feeling of being the devil in the mid lane, and ended everything for the day.

…

Get a good night's sleep, the next day will be the day when we appear.

She first played two games to warm up in the morning. After lunch, she set off with the whole team to the competition venue in the afternoon.

The streets of the Magic City were much livelier than during the Spring Games. People wearing masks came and went, and the shops outside the venue were also open.

However, the museum is still as deserted as before, with only a few staff on and off the empty stage, and no audience cheering or applauding.

In contrast, inside the online platform, which is invisible to the naked eye, the atmosphere is as lively as if it were a Chinese New Year.

"It's started, it's started! Dumpling is very motivated every time he plays against ig. Today's game is great!"

"We are now fighting a foreign war. What's the point of us beating ig? I'm waiting for dumpling to abuse the Korean mid laner severely. It will be good to break the mentality of the mid laners of geng and drx. By the way, it can also help ig advance. "

"It would be best if both LPL teams advance, the top four defeat dwg, and the three heroes fight Lu Bu."

"I think it's more like San Lu Bu fighting Diao Chan."

…

In the barrage that filled the screen, Xiran, the Chinese female commentator, began to introduce the participating teams.

Jian You walked to the stage with his teammates.

Due to the request of the sponsor cosmetics group, although her face is now lightly made up, it is much more eye-catching than the makeup she wore during previous competitions - the audience can clearly tell, oh, dumpling has put on makeup.

"Ye Qingjie, dumpling actually learned to dress himself up."

"I feel like the makeup on dumpling is too obvious. It doesn't look like a professional player, but makes me look like an idol star. Dumpling is really unnecessary!"

"Didn't you know that LPL players have to put on makeup before every game?"

"Dumpling has recently endorsed cosmetics. This is obviously a requirement from the product side."

"And to be honest, isn't dumpling beautiful today?"

"Indeed, I suddenly understood why today's host was changed to Xiran. If Yu Shuang is still the host, I will be dumped to pieces from appearance to figure..."

…

It was still a brief opening, and before the audience could lick the screen clean, the first game of the second match day of the Mid-Season Cup started.

Yesterday's first game was between the LCK Spring Split champion and the LPL third place team.

Today's first stop is slightly different. The lpl champion team we is indeed the first to appear, but it is the lck runner-up team geng that faces them.

The name geng may still be a bit unfamiliar to Chinese audiences who know less about foreign teams. After all, the name change was only completed in 2018, and it failed to reach the World Championship last year.

But when it comes to his predecessor, the Samsung team, I’m afraid domestic audiences are familiar with it. From the ten members of Samsung’s team going to China in S4, to defeating Faker in the third spring to win the World Championship in S7, it can be said that it has been painted in the history of LoL.

Although this Geng team is said to have inherited the mantle of SSG, Nakano Suke has been transferred since the defeat in S8. Last year, they lost to SKT in the domestic bubble game, and they directly carried out a drastic reorganization——

First, we let go of star jungler Peanut, S7 champion top laner Cuvee and mid laner Fly.

Then the only remaining former three-star player in the team, S7 champion AD Ruler, became the core of the team, and introduced skt's talented jungler clid, the well-known veteran mid laner bdd, and the powerful top laner Rascal who also played in many teams.

This completes the construction of the LCK Galaxy Battleship.

Of course, compared to our current lineup, apart from the fact that the top laner may have some BP advantages, the opponent is not considered a "galactic battleship" in other aspects.

But Jian You's mind came back. Considering that our current starting top laner and two substitute top laners are in the Hero Bowl, it seems impossible to have a BP advantage in the top lane against most teams...

The commentators Yutong and Shiyi started banpicking the game.

"Team WE chose the blue side and banned Setizoe and Kalista. There is no surprise. They are both heroes that Geng players play well."

"It looks a lot like the ban when SKT defeated geng in the LCK finals."

The commentary was very accurate. Jian You’s idea was that since skt used such a set of bp3-0 to defeat geng, then we would definitely be better if we tried to use it.

"The red team's Geng team banned Monkey Ornn and Verus. Except for Verus, who is currently banned by the red team, the other two bans chose to target top laner We, which is unexpected and reasonable."

"Yes, Geng must have watched WE's domestic games and knew that the other three lanes, especially dumpling, were difficult to target, so he turned to attack WE's top laner with a relatively weak hero pool - I remember both TES and JDG tried this in the playoffs.

However, the results were not ideal, and it is hard to say whether Geng found another way and repeated the same mistakes."

"Well, in the first round of selection, we grabbed the jungle troll, which is a relatively conventional choice. We have continued their steady style since the beginning of this game."

"geng uses jungler Kindred as a counter, and then uses adc Aphelios. These two hands are quite comfortable."

"In our second and third moves, we get the Crocodile for the top laner, and then get Ezreal for jacklove. Now we are a bit lacking in output. In the second round of dumpling, we need to make up for the damage."

Then, geng made a BP that surprised the entire audience, including Jian You.

They decided on the mid lane hero first, instead of choosing Syndra or Enchantress in the t1 mid lane, they locked in on the mid laner Czar.

The audience looked at each other.

"Wow, Geng's third hand actually dared to decide on the mid laner before dumpling decided on the hero! Bdd got the signature Tsar, so he is a bit confident!"

"It doesn't make sense. Does the Tsar have such a high priority?"

"I don't understand this hand."

"I just want to say that everyone who understands understands, and I won't explain to those who don't understand. After all, you just know what you know. Just savor it carefully..."

…

Jian You guessed one thing or two. It was true that lck's understanding of powerful heroes was different from that of we. In the three sets of their spring finals, the czar appeared three times. One can imagine the importance of this game there.

With such a slow-paced hero like Tsar selected, it can only be said that lck still hasn't broken away from the traditional Korean late-stage operation.

Then comes the second round of bp.

We ban Quinn and Thresh. The former prevents Crocodile from being countered, while the latter cuts off Geng's best combination in the bottom lane.

Geng bans Syndra and Clockwork, and the second is to kill all of Jian You's signature double balls. The main thing is to prevent her from choosing heroes that are easy to use, can cooperate with poke in the mid-term, and have enough output in the later stage.

However, they just ignored the strongest late-stage output hero among poke heroes.

After geng got top laner Lucian to counter Crocodile, Jian You immediately asked his teammates to lock the hero for him, and then helped his support to lock the hero with the perfect match!

Heroic bombardier Kuchi!

Magic cat Yuumi!

In addition to satisfying both output and poke, in their lineup, the mixed-damage Corki and the cat are not lacking in AP damage.

Now Coach Geng is dumbfounded. Why can dumpling know how to fly a plane?

Geng finally chooses Titan to replenish tanks and start a group.

The whole bp round is over.

We got the top laner Crocodile, jungle troll, mid laner plane, adc Ezreal and auxiliary cat.
Chapter completed!
