Alliance: I really didn't mess around!

Chapter 255
Because the schedule had not been adjusted yet, Chen Dongqing struggled to fall asleep at three o'clock in the morning Rio time, but in order to ensure that the jet lag could be reversed quickly, he woke up directly at nine o'clock in the morning.

Chen Dongqing woke up the incense pot in the same room as agreed, and after the two washed up, they ran to the restaurant downstairs to take a look.

Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived downstairs, I met KT's neat five-member team.

ROX Ueno, EDG double C, and one more, because of Chen Dongqing's rebirth, he never came to LPL's mata at all.

"Yo! Hello!" Deft and Pawn, who can speak Chinese, immediately started waving and greeting Chen Dongqing when they saw Chen Dongqing.

Little Peanut greeted Chen Dongqing with a smile.

Because of the experience of last year, Little Peanut has a great impression of Chen Dongqing.

Chen Dongqing also went up and greeted with a smile. The two teams went to the dining room to make a breakfast together, and then sat at the same table and ate it with relish.

Breakfast in Brazil is nothing more than bread and milk. Chen Dongqing can only barely accept this kind of breakfast, at least it can fill his stomach.

After everyone finished their breakfast, Little Peanut came up and winked at Chen Dongqing, expressing his appointment for a training match.

Chen Dongqing also readily agreed.

It is the best thing to have KT as a training opponent.

If you are playing scrims against other teams, you might as well create your own custom practice routines.

To put it bluntly, this year's MSI, QG and KT will only regard each other as competitors.

As for Europe, North America, and Wanwan Vietnam, I’m really not familiar with them, they’re just running with me.

This year, MSI has added a new play-in setting, instead of directly playing the group stage in the six major regions.

Instead, the three divisions with the best results based on the comprehensive consideration of last year's MSI and World Championships, namely LPL, LCK, and Europe, will directly enter the group stage, and the remaining three seats will be determined by the finalists.

The play-in round is composed of a total of ten teams from Wanwan, North America, Vietnam, and seven other wild card divisions.

Just the day before QG arrived in Brazil, the winners of the play-in competition had already been announced. In the end, the three teams from North America TSM, Wanwan FW, and Vietnam GAM successfully advanced to the group stage.
It can only be said that this finalists held a lonely
After eating, Chen Dongqing went back to the training room and sat down to adjust the equipment. Not long after, the rest of the teammates also sat down. Chen Dongqing explained to Coach Cui about KT's appointment of the training match.

Of course Coach Cui readily accepted.

Next today, QG entered the busy training process.

It has to be said that, as the defending champion team, QG is the most shining star of this MSI.

This caused the remaining five teams to squeeze their heads and want to play a training match with QG.

Even the Brazilian representative team RED, which was eliminated in the play-in competition, had the idea of ​​playing a training match with QG.

Coach Cui has never fought such a rich battle. He picks and chooses and chooses the strongest team every time. Basically, it is either KT or G2. He often finishes the game against G2 in the afternoon and then plays KT in the evening. What about Vietnam? What's wrong, you can only think about it when you really have nothing to do.

In fact, on the surface, the 7.8 version of MSI has not changed much. For QG, who won the championship in the 7.7 version, this version seems to have nothing worth studying.

But in fact, the cup is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface. With the research of each team, various black technologies will appear. It is very likely that at the end of the cup, BP will be completely different from the initial stage.

Take last year's S game as an example. During the wild card play-in round, Karma was still assisting the bottom lane, but in the group stage, Zyra turned out to fight Karma.

Jiela's dominance was broken by the women's gun in the semi-finals, and they all beat one ring.

But when you were in the early stage of the S game, you would never have imagined that there would be such a weird matchup as a female gun support versus a laning Zyra support!

This year's MSI, who knows what black technology will appear.

Therefore, we still need to play more training games and explore more.

Time passed quickly, and it was May 5th in a blink of an eye.

Brazil and the United States are actually in a similar time zone, so this is not friendly to domestic audiences, and it is the early morning hours in China.

Everyone in QG took the bus and arrived at the Rio Olympic Stadium.

From the name, it can be seen that this venue is extraordinary. As a former Olympic venue, this place can accommodate up to 6 people!
To be honest, this is the first time that everyone in QG has played in such a large venue, and even the backstage lounge has been enlarged.

Shi Senming sat on the chair, a little nervous, "Fuck, there are so many people, I'm a little nervous."

"Why are you nervous about MSI?" Chen Dongqing said with a smile: "According to my experience, the intensity of MSI's group stage is not as strong as that of LPL, so you can just play at ease."

Xiangguo said from the side: "However, there are indeed a lot of spectators today. I took a look when I entered the arena, and the [-] seats are almost full!"

"Can all [-] seats be filled?" Shi Senming was quite surprised, and then became more nervous.

"Brazil is like this." Linko laughed: "Their enthusiasm for the game is beyond your imagination."

As a big football country, Brazilians love to watch all kinds of games. Now MSI is held here. Although their own team did not even make it to the group stage, this does not prevent them from coming to the scene to watch the game.

At the same time, there are fans from other divisions coming with the home team, and a venue of 6 people is nothing.

"Where is this going?" Linko smiled from the side: "When we reach the finals of the S game at the end of the year, we will play in the Bird's Nest! Then let you feel the gold content of [-] viewers!"

At this time, the staff came and knocked on the door of the lounge, signaling that everyone in QG was ready to go on stage.

At two o'clock in the morning domestic time, the lights in the arena suddenly went dark, and a ten-second countdown began to appear on the big screen.

The audience instantly aroused warm applause, and the applause reached a peak when the countdown reached 1!
A beam of light suddenly lit up on the big stage at the scene, and a Brazilian woman appeared under the beam.

There was a war drum hanging around her waist, and the two drumsticks in her hands were beating in a very rhythmic and continuous manner with the background music of the scene, and the Brazilian audience in the audience gave applause.

Immediately afterwards, the female drummer stopped waving her arms, and the lights of the venue turned to blue, spinning rapidly in the center of the venue, and then the countless lights that combined suddenly dispersed and spread around the stage!
Under every light, there stood a Brazilian man with a drum on his waist.

Immediately afterwards, countless drums sounded in an orderly manner, like a gust of wind and rain, full of passion!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The applause from the Brazilian audience off the court was getting louder and louder, and the atmosphere of the game was extremely strong for a while!

It is true that if you are not a Brazilian, you may not be able to understand this simple drum music, but this section does not need outsiders to understand, it is for your own people, and the enthusiasm of the Brazilian audience will help the organizers ignite this venue!
When the drumbeat came to the end, the on-site water drop screen suddenly lit up, and the promotional video of this MSI began to play!

The first thing that catches the eye is a "2015".

And then there's a piece of history.

In the 15 Mid-Season Championships, EDG and SKT met at the peak and started the final battle.

In the end, EDG defeated SKT [-]-[-] and won the first MSI championship trophy in history.

As soon as the camera turned, it switched to the screen of KT winning the championship. The double Cs of Pawn and Deft appeared in the screen. The two looked directly at the camera, as if they wanted to defend their gold content as the MSI champion.

Immediately afterwards, the screen turned again, and the remembered Chinese commentary suddenly interjected.

"Welcome to the 2016 Mid-Season Championship, this is Shanghai! Let us congratulate QG, who defeated SKT 2016-[-] and won the [-] Mid-Season Invitational Championship!"

Everyone in QG raised the trophy in the screen, this is their first championship in the world arena!
The picture suddenly changed, and another scene appeared. This is the picture of QG holding the cup in Nanjing a few days ago.

This time it was the voice of the doll: "Next, QG will represent our LPL and continue to compete in Brazil MSI as the defending champion. I hope they can continue to defend their title successfully!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another picture of the other four teams holding the trophy.

Those who can come to this stage are all the champions of the major competition areas. They all have their own honors, and they all want to make this honor a step further!
Unknowingly, six flags slowly fell from the top of the venue and appeared in the audience's field of vision.

The host appeared on the stage. He held a microphone and shouted loudly: "First of all, let us welcome the champion of the 2016 Mid-Season Championship, the champion of the 2016 Global Finals, and the champion of the 2017 LPL Spring Split, QiaoGu!"

The knocking sound of the support sticks was endless, and tens of thousands of spectators burst into loud shouts at the same time. This was a huge volume that Chen Dongqing had never felt before!

For the Brazilian audience off the field, all teams are teams from outside the division, so who they will support depends purely on which team wins the most championships.

As for the audience in the Brazil Division, apart from the teams in their own division, they know two teams from other divisions.

One is SKT and the other is QG.

But now that SKT has not been able to come here, then QG is the absolute king of popularity!

Chen Dongqing, who was holding the trophy, was stabbed by the incense pot behind him. He immediately stepped forward and slowly descended to the stage from the auditorium corridor next to him.

In the process of leaving the stage, the host introduced the members of QG one by one.

"The first is the .QG top order! illlllllllllex!"

It is said that Brazilians can play their tongues. This is not a lie. The host deliberately changed the pronunciation rhythm of Chen Dongqing’s ID just to add tongue-playing skills. A hat-trick was played on the court!

The camera also gave Chen Dongqing a close-up.

The handsome guy in the white spring uniform was holding the MSI championship trophy, walked slowly to the center of the stage, and put the trophy on the pedestal.

QG has owned this trophy in name for a year, and now that the trophy has returned to the stage, the major competition areas will once again start chasing it!
From this moment, the cheers exploded instantly!
Chen Dongqing enjoyed this feeling very much, and waved at the camera cheerfully.

Immediately afterwards, the host read out the IDs "mlxg", "GodV", "Uzi", and "Ming" in sequence.

Immediately afterwards, the host waved his right hand, "Next, the spring champion from the LCK, KT Rolster!"

Compared with QG's terrifying momentum, KT's side is obviously much smaller, and their voice is not even as good as "TSM".

It may be that the team name TSM is easy to pronounce, and it is very powerful when pronounced in unison, or it may be that the North American cult is too powerful.

Anyway, this team can enjoy home court treatment in places other than Europe.

Big Brother and Bilson, the North American Phantom God Double C, stood in the center of the stage and waved vigorously towards the audience.

Followed by G2, GAM, FW.

Members of the six teams each occupy a corner of the stage, with the championship trophy in the center.

"Okay, welcome to Brazil!" The host said in Portuguese that Chen Dongqing could not understand, "The 12-day championship battle officially begins now!"

The rules of the MSI group stage are still the same as before, adopting a double round-robin competition system in the same group.

Six teams, six games per day, which means each team will play two games per day for a total of five days.

After the five-day schedule, the top four advance to the knockout round, and the last two go home.

Because there is no host this time, the order of the competition is also randomized.

The first thing to start is the European and American war.

Brazil is closer to the time zone of Europe and the United States, so the European and American games are closer.

The remaining four teams left the field, and G2 and TSM stayed on the field.

The classic G2 vs. TSM, this time the organizer of MSI can be said to have served the audience a big dish at the very beginning!
For the Brazilian audience off the field, it is obvious that they are more supportive of TSM.

With so many years of experience in accompanying the S race, this team is quite famous in other competition regions.

And the excitement of this game is needless to say.

When these two teams meet, there is always some show effect.

In the first four and 10 minutes of the game, there was still no waves. TSM firmly controlled the rhythm of the game with a 16-6 head ratio and a [-] economic advantage.

But inexplicably, at 43 minutes, everyone in TSM collectively returned to replenish supplies, and G2 decisively seized the opportunity to stud the dragon directly!
Four and 10 minutes is already the late stage, and Dalong is like a piece of paper, and was killed by G2 in an instant!

TSM jungler Svenkeren also wanted to flash into the dragon pit to grab the dragon, but instead put his life in it!
Immediately afterwards, the game unfolded in a weird direction.

Relying on the big dragon BUFF, G2 pushed TSM's two outer towers in succession, narrowing the economic gap to 7K.

OK, you have the big dragon BUFF, you can understand.

But after the big dragon BUFF disappeared, G2 was still extremely brave, and even destroyed the middle and lower highlands of TSM one after another.

This wave is obviously a little weird.

In terms of the lineup, there is obviously no difference between the two sides. TSM is clearly ahead by [-], but they were pushed to two high grounds!

Immediately afterwards, in the 49th minute of the ancient dragon group, G2 had an idea and decisively asked his own Uenosuke to delay the time, and the double C was to drive the super soldier line in the middle and go directly to steal home!

Everyone in TSM was like ants on a hot pot. Although they took down the ancient dragon, they obviously didn't dare to stay longer and quickly returned to the city to protect it.

One tooth tower, two tooth towers.

TSM has only one exposed crystal left, but fortunately, TSM's top single TP top road tower landed at this time, and this is a Rambo with extremely superior equipment.

Putting down the big move, flashing close, relying on Rambo's terrifying damage, knocked Ah P's Syndra almost instantly.

At this time, everyone in TSM had already walked home and successfully dealt with Zven's Lucian.

The crystal has only one-third of its blood left!

And at this time, G2 Uenosuke and the three also rushed forward, and they had only one goal, and that was the crystal with low blood volume!

Just when everyone thought TSM was going to lose the game, a miracle happened.

G2's Uenosuke and the other three are all idiots, and the speed of demolishing the tower is too slow. Even if the crystal has only one-third of the blood left, they still have to take extra effort to demolish it.

The hearts of everyone in TSM were beating fast, but in the end they still held the crystal to the limit.

Finally, it was shown that the crystal still had 404 blood left.

After holding the crystal to the limit, everyone in TSM pushed forward all the way, stunned to reverse G2.

The game that should have been won a long time ago, but the result was so ups and downs, you can't tell whether TSM is too good or G2 is playing too well
However, if the program is effective enough, it is enough.

After this appetizer ended, after a short break, the second game started soon.

This time it is Vietnam GAM against Wanwan FW.

The popularity of these two teams is not high, I thought this time it was just a side dish.

But just in this game, something unexpected happened.

GAM's top laner, Stark, pulled out a Kenan top laner in this game.

This hand selection immediately attracted the attention of the major teams.

Because the hero Kenan is actually very average in this version, far from the dominance of Tianlei in the S6 World Championship.

Because of the scary scenes of Smeb and Chen Dongqing, the two B's Kenan in the S game, the designer felt that this was too uncool.

So in the early days of S7, Kenan experienced a round of weakening.

Now the mechanism of Kenan's big move is that the initial damage is very low, but it will gradually increase with the multiple hits of the thunder and lightning.

Obviously, this knife cut was quite heavy.

Because the hero Kenan knows everything, what he pursues is the instant burst of R flashing W.

If it goes further, it will either be hanged and weak, or the opponent has already flashed away. After all, professional players are not fools, and the next few hits with high damage will not shock anyone at all!
This version of Kenan does not have a high appearance rate, and is a hero that can only be played by a unique brother.

957 took Kenan in the LPL Spring Finals, and was turned into a Muggle by Chen Dongqing's wine barrel, let alone the Vietnamese team?
But this time, the Vietnamese team really taught a lesson to audiences all over the world.

Their Kenan did not follow the usual path at all.

Stark followed the style of the ruined ice hammer, and his main focus was to be invincible with one hand and one belt!
In this game, Wanwan's top laner Mimi Dan also wanted to follow Chen Dongqing's play in the LPL final, using an AP wine barrel to fight against Kenan.

But this time, the AP barrel is not easy to use.

The core idea of ​​AP stone man and AP wine barrel against Kenan is to bully Kenan for lack of recovery, use passive shields or recover blood to exchange Kenan's health without injury, and have to go home after a few waves of Kenan.

But this time.

Kenan returned to the city as a vampire's scepter, and the consumption of wine barrels became a joke.

When Kenan made a mess, the wine barrel became RBQ directly, letting Kenan shit on his head!

This is the case in the professional arena. Even in the same version, strong heroes may change at any time, but they lack a hand in development.

Barrel and Kenan, these two heroes have been changed recently, one in 7.3 and the other in 7.1, but these two have become strong top laners in the current 7.8 version.

Backstage at this time, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw the scene of Kenan chasing after the wine barrel.

Fortunately, it was not me who played in this game.

If he also confidently took out a wine barrel to beat Kenan, and was countered, wouldn't he lose all face in this world?
Thank you, Mimi Egg.

With the advantage of the top lane, GAM is also quite sensible. The captain Levi exerted pressure in the upper half of the field many times, and Karsa's wild area was also riddled with holes!

Karsa had no choice but to come to the lower half to seek opportunities.

But another arrangement of GAM appeared.

Their AD in this game is Bomberman.

This team has a lot of bad ideas.

Bomberman sees only bombs but no one, and Karsa's invincible tower defense ability makes Karsa unable to break the tower at all, and finally crashes on the road, and the game is over.

Everyone in QG was amazed by this system!
Banbazi's hands continued to record on the keyboard, recording the details of the game, and then said to Chen Dongqing: "This Kenan top laner, you have to pay attention."

Chen Dongqing looked at the picture, but it evoked some memories.

Only then did he vaguely recall that in 17, there was indeed a wave of AD Liu Kainan's upsurge.

This style of Kenan has almost no natural enemies in the laning, and the ability to single belt in the later stage is quite strong, and it became a hot spot in the professional league for a while.

However, because LPL was only the top four in MSI this year, and in the late stage of MSI, the hero Kenan was all banned, so Chen Dongqing didn't recall it for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the game ended and it was KT's turn to play. Their opponent was TSM, who played in the first game.

Among the BP, Smeb also took out Kenan, and it is also an AD game!

This time there is obviously something tricky.

GAM and KT unexpectedly took out AD Kenan's top laner that had never been seen before in the arena at the same time.

But QG is like an outsider, and has never heard of this gameplay.

"Okay, these two teams teamed up to hide from us, right?" Linko saw this situation from behind and scolded with a smile: "Damn us?"

Chen Dongqing raised her eyebrows and said, "Is it possible that we seldom play training matches with GAM, so even if they want to reveal it, they have no way to disclose it?"

GAM is the first team to come up with AD Kenan. According to the rules, this method must be the first to come up with them. KT is just a learner.

Opponents can also learn the small routines in the training match, but they can only take them after the developers show them in the competition. This is a rule among professional teams.

Banbazi's face changed, and he thought for a while, feeling that this is really the case.
QG is so popular recently, they rarely play against Vietnam
At this point, the third game on the screen has ended.

KT easily won the game with a three-way advantage.

It was QG's turn to play soon, and their opponent in the first game was GAM, who took out AD Kenan for the first time.

Today QG has a heavy schedule, one against GAM Vietnam and one against KT.

On the first day of the group stage, it is necessary to maximize the level of excitement, so Europe, America, China and South Korea must be present.

"Then what's wrong with Kenan?" Xiangguo said in the voice: "This laning is too powerful, I feel that the regular top laner can't play!"

Kenan itself is the casting choice to restrain Jian Ji. If you play AD Kenan and continue to strengthen the line, then QG's opponents don't need to be afraid of Jian Ji at all, which will have a great impact on the BP situation.

"It's okay." Chen Dongqing said with a relaxed expression: "AD Kenan, as long as you have hands."

　see you guys tomorrow
