League of Legends MSI: T1 Triumphs in LCK Civil War, G2 Dominates in European Showdown

“League of Legends” MSI formed an extremely rare civil war in the four major divisions after the first round of fighting in Katsubu, as if watching the spring finals again.

Yesterday (5/14) took the lead in the civil war between the LCK and the LEC. T1 took the lead in the thrilling battle with Gen.G (GEN) after five rounds and won, while G2 Esports (G2) took advantage of the casting advantage to defeat the European king MAD Lions ( MAD) swept away from the MSI arena.

Nervous Oner

In the first Korean civil war between T1 and GEN, T1 maintained an excellent feel, and once again used the “Sion’s first-class” tactic, playing against GEN with staring eyes, and took the lead in winning two rounds.

Originally, the third round of T1 would also rely on Gumayusi’s excellent touch to score more than 10 kills to win, but I didn’t expect Oner, who could have pushed down the main castle, to kill Chovy, the only remaining GEN, at a critical moment. He wanted to cross the twin towers of the main castle to go to the hot springs to kill people, but he was killed by the towers.

Then the wind turned sharply. Gumayusi was too aggressive and Peyz won the head of a thousand yuan. GEN also won the team battles one after another, and finally succeeded in reversing T1. In the fourth game, Faker was broken in the middle. Into the fifth inning.

Both sides played very cautiously in the fifth round, until the last wave of team battles, the head ratio was only 2:3. At 25 minutes, T1 had the advantage of drawing three dragons. GEN knew that it could not delay any longer, so he launched an attack in the middle. Although Gumayusi Chaya was flashed by Aleister, he immediately evaded the follow-up control with a big shot;

Afterwards, everyone in T1 swarmed up, and Faker Cassante even brought Peyz, who was full of blood, to the wild area for a one-on-one fight, and finally killed him in seconds. T1 won the victory without any risk and advanced to the championship.

Dare to choose the European style

The second European civil war between G2 and MAD was quite fierce. Both sides planned a lot of offenses in the early stages of the three rounds. Among them, BrokenBlade, the top laner in G2, relied on sufficient tactical reserves to beat MAD’s Korean aid top laner Chasy in the corner selection.

In the first game, Yasu Kangte Naer was selected, which achieved very good results; in the second game, Kasabia, who had been training hard for a long time recently, was selected to dominate Irelia in all aspects in line play and team battles. Completed a one-on-two under the tower on the road, MAD had no power to parry, and finally played a luxurious record of 8/1/9;

In the third game, Kasabiya was locked again, and KDA of 7/3/1 was handed over, leading G2 to defeat MAD in straight sets.

The second seed strikes back

In the two games yesterday, the second seed in the competition area defeated the first seed, and both showed a big gap. The defeat of MAD became the first team to leave among the eight teams in this MSI competition.

It is also because MAD failed to win one of the six games and wrote the worst score of the four major regions in the international competition. The audience in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau recalled the 0-6 record of the MAD Team in the World Championship in 2018, and called “MAD this team The name is poisonous.”

Tonight will continue to stage civil wars in the division. First is the LPL civil war, with JD Gaming (JDG) facing Bilibili Gaming (BLG), followed by the LCS civil war, with Cloud9 (C9) fighting against Golden Guardians (GG). Can it counterattack and win again? Or did the first seed team show their strength and successfully advance? let us wait and see.
