Chapter 1066 The Second Victory

After finishing their meal slowly, KT returned to the hotel to watch the following games.

There were six BO1 matches on the first day, and all the teams in the three groups would make their debuts on this day.

However, because GAM, the representative team of the Vietnam Division VCS, was absent from this MSI, the schedule was slightly different with only three teams in Group A. The Oceania champion PGG team became the only team to play twice today.

Of course, after being beaten two games in a row, today's experience was not wonderful for them.

In fact, it is not surprising that the LPL audience turned their attention to KT early. GAM, the only threatening team in Group A, did not come. With three teams in two, RNG can be said to be as stable as a dead dog.

In fact, RNG's appearance did not disappoint everyone. It took only 24 minutes to beat PGG.

LPL audiences said that RNG had already won the speed race. Although they did not complete a zero seal like KT, at least they took less time to finish the game than KT.

I have to say that RNG's play is very holistic. They don't have as much advantage as KT in the early stage, but after they suddenly gained momentum, their snowballing ability also looks terrifying.

The offensive rhythm is like a rainstorm. After PGG's obvious disadvantage, people kept dying, being caught on the sidelines, being squatted while making vision, and being overtaken while defending the tower. There was almost no chance to breathe.

Although this RNG did not show a strong early snowballing ability in this year's LPL, it also has the unique style of LPL. After the rhythm is set, it never stops.

Knowing that the opponent can't beat me, I will keep looking for the opponent to fight, and the more I fight, the greater the advantage.

This style looks really cool.

Even the LPL commentators were surprised. They thought RNG was the team that was best at late-stage operational decisions in this year's LPL. I didn't expect that they would start such a fierce fight in Iceland.

Of course, it must be inseparable from the weakness of the opponent.

But the audience enjoyed it.

Some viewers still regret the absence of the Vietnam region. It would be great if GAM came to play against RNG.

LPL will pick a fight with the opponent when they have an advantage, and Vietnam is even more ruthless. They will pick a fight with the opponent regardless of the advantage or disadvantage.

In fact, LPL is more of a tactic that combines fighting and operations, and VCS is the division that really takes fighting to the extreme.

When they have an advantage, they want to kill the opponent, and when they are at a disadvantage, they want to turn the tables by fighting. VCS is not a coward.

Before the epidemic, the two chaotic battles in the group stage of the 19th Mid-Season Tournament in Vietnam, which beat the MSI champion G2, had already left a deep impression on the audience. As a result, at the end of the year, the audience of the World Championship found that not only the Big Buffalo played like this, but all the teams in the Vietnam Division played this way.

Infinite Moon Reading, they will definitely want to fight every two minutes, and the average number of heads per game is the highest... These are the impressions left by the Vietnamese team on the audience.

Relatively speaking, KT's rhythm is not so intense. KT's means of snowballing are more through the plundering of vision and the control of map resources.

There are actually very few situations where KT has an advantage and fights without thinking. Basically, they are steadily operating snowballs.

This style of play looks very stable, but it gives the audience the impression that KT has never played a big fight. Every time, KT is ready to fight the opponent.

So... does it mean that KT will not be used to unprepared chaos?

This is also the reason why some viewers still think that RNG can overturn KT in MSI despite KT's terrible record.

The fact that the operation team is afraid of the fighting team has been engraved into the cognition of many viewers since some time. They unilaterally believe that RNG has a chance as long as it disrupts KT's operation rhythm.

But Lin Cheng did not comment on this argument of netizens.

No way?

Some people actually think that KT will not fight?

Who gave this illusion?

I will have a good exchange with Xiaohu at that time.

Of course, Lin Cheng is more concerned about the opponent in the next group stage.

He also watched the games of the other two teams in the same group as KT. INF from Latin America defeated the Japanese champion DFM.

The two teams were equally matched, and it seemed that they would not pose any threat to KT. However, Lin Cheng was watching the Chinese broadcast in the hotel, and the comments almost made him laugh to death.

DFM's top laner Akali high-fived her teammates next to her after the double kill, and the comments were as follows:

"Yoshi! Taijun's affirmation."

"The air raid on Pearl Harbor was successful!"

"Tiger tiger tiger!"

"The dawn of victory! The rise of the empire!"

"The first battle of the empire, attack!"

"As expected of Evi! The nuclear warhead of the empire."

It must be said that DFM's development in the Japanese division is indeed inspiring. Many domestic audiences have some good feelings for this team, and all kinds of jokes are flying.

In addition, Lin Cheng also watched the European champions play.

They did not play a training match with MAD before the game, and Lin Cheng did not know much about the strength of EU this year.

G2's winning of the MSI championship two years ago proved that Europe is not without the ability to disrupt the game. On the contrary, these teams jump out from time to time to give LPL and LCK a surprise.

At the beginning, RNG was about to win everything in S8, but G2 hit them at a critical moment. Even after Uzi retired, he was still criticized for this game.

MAD did not disappoint the European audience, and slaughtered the Taiwanese team PSG, which also gave KT and RNG a warning.

Although the North American champion is a piece of mud that can't be helped, the European champion is not so watery.

In general, there was no upset in the first day of the game, and the side with stronger strength won.

On May 7, the second day of the MSI group stage, KT welcomed the Latin American champion INF.

Lin Cheng had made a mistake in the schedule before, and thought that their second opponent was DFM, but for them, the difference between the two was not big.

Surprisingly, KT encountered some troubles in this game.

INF had a clear goal. They chose Sion in the top lane to fight with Lin Cheng's Jayce, and their mid and jungle were Crocodile + Nidalee.

As an old player who has played professionally for a long time, INF's AD White Lotus took out Kalista and Minotaur to put some pressure on KT's bottom lane in the early stage.

Then, the INF duo went to the middle lane and jungle whenever they had time.

INF's tactics were very thoughtful. They did not target Lin Cheng's lane, but let the weakness of the top lane withstand pressure, and the bottom lane took a strong combination to radiate the middle lane and jungle.

Although Lin Cheng suppressed Sion in the early stage, the opponent was too cowardly. Although Jayce developed very well, the jungle of Graves was also invaded by Crocodile and Nidalee.

INF had no intention of raising Crocodile in the middle. Nidalee ran out to help Crocodile push the line and share experience, and then the two went to the upper jungle together.

This resulted in Chaowei being unable to support Peanut in the jungle in the first time, and Lin Cheng, who had the line right in the top lane, had to run all the way to support.

But often before Lin Cheng arrived, the two opponents slipped away.

Nidalee and Crocodile both have the ability to penetrate walls in the jungle, and Clockwork and Graves can't be kept at all.

Although INF's play did not gain a substantial advantage, at least it looked okay on the scene, and it was not beaten up like C9.

Lin Cheng also found that he seemed to be kidnapped by his teammates.

Coming over to help Peanut defend the jungle twice in a row was equivalent to letting Sion develop comfortably. In fact, his advantage in the top lane did not radiate because of the line rights in the middle and bottom lanes.

So Lin Cheng decisively changed his play style.

Under his command, Peanut no longer focused on guarding his jungle, and prepared to support the top lane with Chaowei.

Lin Cheng pressed hard, and then called people to come over and directly pass Sion.

After two consecutive waves of defeating Sion, Lin Cheng's equipment took off.

The team's change of play style and investment in Lin Cheng also paid off. In the frontal team battle, Lin Cheng always played a beautiful consumption in advance, allowing the team to easily control resources.

In the end, under the bombardment of Lin Cheng's Jayce, INF gradually collapsed.

It took 23 minutes and KT won the second victory of MSI.

I also know that it may be meaningless to write later, but I really wrote it with my heart
