The first day of the group stage competition ended with the dostic team winning both gas.
On the first day, the dostic teams, NRG and IF, were the first and last match respectively. They would be playing against the European and North Arican teams, without playing against the Korea teams.
After a day of competition, a few teams and star players left a deep impression on the audience.
It was the mid-laner combination, Black and Silver, from the NRG.
IFs mid-laner Hu Jing lust and ADC-laner Luo Yongchang Roy.
Frost, the mid-laner of the Korea teams OST.
Muffy, the support player of the Korea team MAD.
The mid-laner of the European team vs G, Pure.
He was the ADC of the North Arican team, weasel East gaming.
At the current stage, professional teams in League of Legends were still very dependent on the individual strength of the star players. Although they would also grab strong champions, their understanding of Champions, routines, and tactics had not reached that level.
When the audience watched the ga, they were all focused on the highlights and their signature Champions. In any case, as long as there was a kill, they would cheer, and they couldnt see much tactical intent or details.
The schedule for the first round of the group stage basically gave all the teams in each Division A chance to make an appearance. All the matches were BO1, and each team only had to play one ga a day.
After the first round, each team in the group would play a ga with the other three teams. Generally speaking, with two wins, the situation of advancing was more optimistic.
In the second round of the group competition, the four-day schedule was to finish a group every day and directly decide whether the team in the group would stay or leave. This stage was very tense and cruel.
At the end of the first day of the competition, although the two dostic teams, NRG and IF, had both won, the dostic teams were nervous instead. After seeing the performance of the other teams, they realized that these teams were not weak at all!
The older European and Arican teams perford better than expected. They were not as weak as everyone thought. The Korea team had improved significantly and even seed to be much stronger than the European and Arican teams!
In fact, the dostic teams often had training tournants with the Korea teams. This was also a kind of e-sports tradition, which had been carried on from the previous RTS gas and FPS gas. After all, cross-Division Training could challenge opponents with completely different styles, which was good for both sides.
However, due to the late release of the Korean server, the Korea teams basically played very badly against the Chinese teams. Their individual skills were far worse, so IFs Hu Jing had the idea of looking down on the Korean teams.
However, after todays ga, the leaders of the various dostic teams analyzed the performance of several strong teams and were surprised to find that the Korea team was improving very fast!
The two gas that were played today were also against Europe and the United States. One was a solo show by OSTs middle-laner, Frost, and Orianna dominated the ga. In the other match, MADs support player, Muffy Tauren, walked around the entire ga and established a huge advantage for the team in the middle of the ga.
This was a world of difference from the performance of the Korea team in the previous training gas.
The leaders of the various teams began to pay attention to the situation. They studied several strong opponents, especially MG and Ntclub, who were in the sa group as the two Korea teams, E Motus and MAD. They collected information overnight and analyzed the playing style of the two Korean teams.
Judging from the results of the first day, the performance of China and South Korea was not bad. On the other hand, the European and Arican teams, except for veteran teams such as VSG and WBG, perford very badly.
Of course, this was also related to the grouping. There were strong and weak teams in each division. Today, it just so happened that the strong teams from China and Korea had t the weak teams from Europe and Arica, so there was no suspense in their victory.
If the following matches were to be a battle between the strong, the outco would be hard to say.
The strength of each division wasnt much different from Chen Mos estimation.
Overall, the dostic team was the strongest. This was without a doubt. Since the Chinese servers League of Legends had been online for a few months, the player base was large. In the process of the Masters confrontation, the top players in the country improved very quickly.
If a player from another server ca to the local server, he would obviously find that the pace of the king segnt in the local server was faster than that of the other servers, and the players skills were better.
And at this stage, the dostic e-sports environnt was relatively clean. There was no influx of hot money, and the minds of e-sports players were still relatively simple. This was a group of players with e-sports dreams. Although there was no particularly strict managent system, they were generally very hardworking, so it was normal for them to be in the lead temporarily.
Whether it was individual strength or team cooperation, the dostic teams were obviously better than the other divisions.
The European division and the Korea division were similar in level, but their styles were different. South Korea was more inclined to mid-stage rhythm and team cooperation, while Europe was more inclined to developnt and team battles.
The e-sports Foundation of these two divisions was relatively deep. Many professional players in League of Legends had transford from other events. Their reaction and operation were very good, and with good team managent and a lot of training, they made rapid progress.
As for North Arica, only a few old strong teams could compete with China, Korea, and Europe.
This situation was just as Chen Zhao had predicted.
In fact, in Chen Mos previous life, S2 was the era of rising power. South Korea had AZF and NajinSword, Europe had M5 and CLG.eu, China had WE and IG, and the champion TPA. The gap between the top teams wasnt that big, it was more of a difference in philosophy, tactics, and performance.
It was the sa in parallel world. League of Legends was still in its early stages, and the strong teams in each region were still in the exploration stage. There were no regional leagues, so there were no divisions that dominated the ga.
The Chinese server had opened a few months earlier, so the number of players in the Chinese server was far more than that of the foreign servers. This was already a great start, and the world Tournant was going to be held in their ho stadium. If they couldnt beat the foreign teams, then these professional players didnt need to play anymore. They should just go ho and sell their pancakes.
IF teams training room.
Hu Jing was watching the recording of the OST teams match.
OSTs mid-laner, Frost, was one of the top mid-laners in Korea. This match was against the North Arican team. He had used Orianna to solo his opponent once. In the mid-ga for the Dragon, he had pulled in four players by hiding the ball, directly establishing the victory.
After the first days matches, the dostic teams more or less stopped looking down on the foreign teams and began to seriously study the styles and play of these teams.
This OT should be the most threatening opponent in our group, the leader asked.What do you think of his individual skills?
Hu Jing watched the video seriously.Shes very strong. Shes good at all the details. Shes very familiar with Orianna and has a good understanding of the ga.
Then, do you have confidence in this Frost? the team leader asked.
Dont worry, Hu Jing said calmly.Hes very strong, but hes far from Chen Mo s.
Really? the leader was stunned.
Hu Jing laughed.Frosts Orianna is also very fierce in the lane. Her control is very delicate, but I should be able to handle it. Whether its Icebird or deathsong, Im confident that I wont be at a disadvantage in the lane. Whats more, our AD is stronger than the OTs ad. As long as I stay calm and wait for the mid-late team battle, the chances of winning are high.
