As EdG and RNG arrived first, WE and OMG also arrived at the hotel in the afternoon.
They were all LPL teams, and this intercontinental competition was an international competition with divisions as the unit. The coaches of the four teams met and discussed their tactics.
In the group stage, there was no such thing as Tian Ji's horse racing or tactical storage.
This was because the group stage was based on the team's ranking and points in the spring and summer competitions. Each division had four matches, and the 123rd place was determined according to the outcome.
In the semi-finals, the team ranked second in the group stage would play against the team ranked third. The competition format was BO5, and the order of appearance was decided by the coaches of both teams. Unless the fifth game was played, the teams could not be repeated.
In the final stage, the first place in the group stage would face the winner of the semi-finals. The specific competition system was the same as the semi-finals.
Therefore, if Tian Ji wanted to race, he still had to go to the semifinals or finals. At this stage, everyone was fighting separately, trying to get a point from their opponents.
Meanwhile, the coaching teams of the four teams had mysteriously gotten together and were discussing something.
The team members also moved to a larger professional gaming room and began training there.
The next day, the training tasks were reduced. The coaches asked the players to relax and do whatever they wanted to do, so that they could meet tomorrow's game in their best condition.
In the past two days, Shen Mo had also seen many star players from other divisions.
For example, SKT, the legendary team that had won three championships in history. He even took a photo with Brother Li. Brother Li's signature thumbs up was really awesome.
In addition to these people, there were also a lot of Han players on the side of the MDG. For example, Deft and Pwan, the two old members of the team.
Including the local LM team, the AHQ team and the MDG team had a very good relationship, and the players from both sides interacted with each other.
In these few days, Shen Mo had already integrated into the atmosphere of the intercontinental competition.
On the eve of the competition, a picture was released.
The picture was a group photo of AHQ and all members of the team, who were in the training room. It was unknown who had spread the rumor that after coming to Wanwan, the team had not trained with the LPL team, but had been playing training matches with AHQ.
The fishing vessels from the mainland instantly pointed at the MDG and blackened everything they could.
When Abu found out about this, he only told the members of the MDG,""It's fine, don't bother about it. In eSports, only winning the competition is right. If you lose the competition, even breathing is wrong. If they won the game, they would naturally shut up.”
As the rhythm of the game continued, it finally arrived on July 6th.
1 PM, High X Exhibition Hall.
There was a sea of people in the stadium, and many of them were even holding up LPL signboards. They were probably spectators who had flown over from the mainland.
One of the spots was very eye-catching because there were a few burly men in black suits there. They had big bodies and round waists, and they could be said to be out of place with the other spectators.
But now, these people were sitting quietly in the VIP seats of the audience, holding a huge support card that was more than three meters long.
There were a few big words written on it-Ink Support Group!
There were also some cartoon images of Shen Mo, as well as the manga versions of Jess, Green Steel Shadow, Sword Lady, and so on.
Just by looking at the production of this support sign, one could tell that it would cost a lot of money. Most importantly, it was too big and very eye-catching.
Many viewers who did not usually watch the LPL did not even know who they were cheering for. Who was Ink?
When Shen Mo walked into the stadium and saw the support sign, he was also stunned.
"Guogui, you're a tycoon. Why are your fans all tycoons?”The girl exclaimed and then asked sourly.
Shen Mo scratched his head.”
Everyone chatted and laughed before walking backstage. They met up with other LPL teams.
This kind of international competition was usually very troublesome. After an hour, the director finally let the players come out to participate in the opening ceremony.
But then something awkward happened.
When the LPL teams came out, the audience was silent. When the beautiful lady introduced each of their teams, they didn't give them any face.
The audience watching the live broadcast couldn't help but spit out,
" Is this Wanwan's quality?"
"I don't want to say this, but this is a morgue, right?”
"Guogui, these Wanwan seem to be in chaos.”
"I vomited."
"This is the only thing that's worth training with Team Wanwan? EdG is really the National Film Academy!"
"Listening to the wind and guessing the rain? Brainless?"
After the awkward opening ceremony, they finally completed the final procedure. The main competition officially began.
The first match was a showdown between the three-star LCK team and the LM team.
As expected, as LCK's best operating team, whether it was in terms of tactics or strength, Three Stars had completely overtaken MT and successfully helped LCK win their first victory.
No one was surprised by the outcome of this match. Even the Han side was behaving very normally, as if it was supposed to be the case.
The LPL audience didn't really care about the outcome of the first match, but it was different for the second match that was about to begin.
This was the first match of the LPL, between OMG and LCK's MVP team.
The MVP was only the fourth seed of Han, but the LPL audience still felt guilty. Other than the fact that LCK was a level higher than the LPL, OMG was also the fourth seed of the LPL.
However, they still held onto their last bit of hope, hoping that OMG would be able to display their courage!
However, the results were cruel. OMG's overall strength was still far from the MVP. In the end, they were pushed off the field in the 40th minute.
Since then, LCK had already won two matches, while the LM and LPL had zero points.
For a moment, the outside world seemed to recall the fear of being dominated by LCK!
The third match was between the three-star and the EDG.
At this point, no one was optimistic about the chances of winning against the three-star team. A famous player in a competition like the ESPG was only slightly stronger than OMG, so what could they expect?
The LPL audience could only hope that the team would not lose too badly, and that they would show their courage. That was enough!
Because they really didn't want to see an LPL team being manipulated to death by LCK. That kind of feeling was too unbearable and hopeless. It was like knowing when you were going to die, but you still couldn't. Waiting for death was the most desperate thing.
The members of the team had already received the notification and they all stood up and went to the competition counter.
After entering the ban selection, Star banned Spider Gallio and Enchantress. The ban was rather casual. She did not target Shen Mo either.
Shen Mo had been targeted in every LPL match, and he would ban at least two top-laners in every match.
"Eh, aren't they going to ban Jayce? Then I think we can snatch it!"
