The leader was curious,âIâm a little confused. How strong is Chen Mo?â Are you saying that you and Frost are no match for him?â
Hu Jing was silent for a while before he replied,âitâs hard to say.â In terms of mechanics and reaction time, Chen Mo is only slightly better than me, but Frost should be on the same level as me. However, whatâs really scary about Chen Mo is his understanding of the game and his psychological control. â
âGame understanding and ... Psychological control?â the leader was a little confused.
âYes,â Hu Jing said,âI wouldnât have felt this if I wasnât personally playing against Chen Mo. Heâs very familiar with the characteristics of his champion, and he knows exactly when his champion is strong and when his champion is weak. The scariest thing is that he seems to be able to see through his opponentâs mind. When I play Orianna, it feels like every step I take is right in front of his death songâs Q. Itâs the most despairing feeling I have. â
âAnd when he uses Orianna, he seems to be able to guess the position of every Q-skill of my deathsong. He always walks to places that I canât imagine. Heâs like a machine, always able to avoid all my non-directional skills with extreme precision.â
The leader was speechless.
Hu Jing watched the video of the game and continued,ââBut itâs true that these Korea teams are improving too fast. I donât remember hearing about Frost in OST during the previous training tournaments. Now, heâs definitely one of the main players.â
The leader nodded.âThatâs right. Frost was a high-scoring player in the Korean server that was scouted by OST a month and a half ago. Theyâre growing very quickly.â
Hu Jingâs expression also became serious.âI understand. Iâll watch the video of the match again.â
â¦â¦
As the schedule of the first round of the group stage continued to advance, the situation of each group became clearer and clearer.
It was October 8th, the last day of the first round of the group competition.
The situation in Group A had basically been settled. The three matches of the NRG team were all won, and they had basically locked in the qualifying spot. The other three foreign teams were fighting for the remaining spot.
......
The situation in Group B was relatively chaotic. IF from China and OST from Korea both had two points. Today, there would be a crucial showdown between the two teams, and the winner would most likely be the top of the group.
Group C was led by the Korea team MAD, while the domestic team, NTclub, did not perform well. It was likely that the European team would advance to the next round.
Group Dâs old North American team, WBG, had basically secured a place in the next round. The remaining spots would be decided between the local teams, MG, and the Korea team, E Motus.
â¦â¦
The first match on the last day of the group stage was the highlight-the match between IF and OST.
It happened to be a Sunday, so the crowd was very lively. There were already waves of cheers even before the battle started.
âOkay, welcome to the last day of the group stage of the first round of the League of Legends World Finals. Iâm the commentator, memories.â
âHello, everyone. Iâm commentator ke Zhen.â
Memories and ke Zhen were still the commentators for this crucial battle. In fact, they had already rotated the commentators for the previous matches, but this match was more critical, so it was still the two of them who commentated.
Recalling the information on the commentary platform,ââSo, after three days of competition, the situation in each group has gradually become clearer. Ke Zhen, what do you think of the current situation of the domestic teams?â
Ke Zhen thought for a moment and said,âamong the domestic teams, the current situation of NRG and IF is better.â However, the performance of NTclub in Group C was worrying because the Korea team MAD and the European team vs G in Group C were playing very well. If ntclub could not adjust their condition well in the next round, it was likely that they would not be able to advance from the group. As for Group D, as the North American team, WBC has basically secured a place in the group. I donât think itâs a big problem for MG to compete for the second place with E mouts from Korea, because from the previous performance, MG is slightly better. â
Memories nodded.âOkay. After todayâs match, the situation of each groupâs advancement will be more clear. Todayâs key match will be IF and OST. These are the two teams that we generally think are currently at the top of the ladder. What do you think of the result of this match, ke Zhen?â
Ke Zhen said,âitâs hard to say. At the moment, weâre more optimistic about IF, NRG, OST, and MAD. Weâre clear that IF is slightly stronger than NRG in our country. However, for these two Korea teams, OST mainly relies on the individual strength of their mid-laner players, while MAD relies on good teamwork. Itâs hard to say how strong they are.â But I personally think IF will win. â
The two commentators analyzed the current situation of the group stage and briefly introduced the characteristics of IF and OST teams, as well as their star players. The game began.
It was obvious that both sides were targeting each otherâs mid. Popular mid Champions like death Song, Icebird, and Orianna had all been banned, and the final mid-Lane battle was actually between vampire and Lux.
IFâs formation was Lady Blade, Scorpion, vampire, Ezreal, and Tauren, while soâs formation was brightmoon, mundo, lacus, big mouth, and Lulu.
Memories: âokay, then the match between the two sides will now begin. IF is on the blue side, OT is on the red side. Please cheer for the team you like, okay?â
The big screen switched to the game, and the holographic projection showed the full view of the Summonerâs Rift.
The audience in the arena was screaming and cheering loudly. After the first round of the group stage competition, NRG and IF had successfully gained a large number of fans. After all, these two teams had won all the matches so far, and they had placed the hopes of the domestic audience on them.
âGood luck, everyone,â Hu Jing said in the team voice chat.âSince youâve set up this trap, you must win this round!â
Obviously, killing the wild Scorpion was a special routine, specifically used to deal with an OT.
Although there were 50 Champions in League of Legends so far, there were only a few popular Champions. There were still many Champions that were either simpler, suitable for novices, or not fully developed yet.
In the jungler position, Gragas, Lee Sin, Incubus, and widower had all appeared, but Scorpion had not been used in the world Championship.
He recalled,âIF actually came up with a combination of a vampire and a Scorpion. Itâs because we know that IFâs mid player is a very strong individual player but vampire is relatively shameless. He wonât be at a disadvantage but itâs difficult for him to gain an advantage in the league. â
Ke Zhen nodded his head.âThatâs right. IFâs lineup is clearly aimed at botâs middle lane. After banning the popular mid-Lane champion, vampireâs powerful laning ability can tie Frost down in the middle lane. On the other hand, Scorpion will be brainlessly pulling players once he reaches Level 6.â
âIn other words,â reminiscing,âIF the tactical idea in this game is to use vampires to tie Frost to death in the middle and then slaughter his teammates.â
âThatâs right. I think thatâs the tactical intention of IF,âke Zhen nodded.
