The rules and regulations of MSI mid season are very simple.
The six teams from each competition area will first conduct two rounds of group competition. Each team will play a total of two rounds of 10 matches. According to the accumulated points of winning or losing, the top four teams will be selected to advance to the semi-final.
The semi-finals began to enter the bo5 competition system.
The four teams decided to win again, and the two winning teams advanced to the final.
The final is also bo5.
The first team to win three victories is the MSI champion.
According to a basic situation in previous years, the six teams in the six major competition areas made a simple strength ranking. There was no doubt that the team in the wild card competition area was at the bottom, and then was the Taiwan clothing competition area. In recent years, this side only ranked the fifth. Occasionally, it suddenly broke out to rush forward, but it was more than the other several old brand competition areas.
Further forward --
is the LPL division of the national service, and the two LCS divisions of Europe and the United States, which are basically in an equal situation. The data of various international competitions in the past years also show that the three major divisions always win or lose each other, and it is difficult to say who is better than the other.
Therefore, the teams in these three divisions are often classified into the same echelon, while the LMS division of Taiwan clothing is considered to be half a body behind.
Finally, the remaining Lck competition area is recognized as the strongest competition area of the first echelon.
But in fact, from the perspective of the past years, the Lck division''s lead over the second tier teams behind is not completely unable to catch up, and occasionally it is caught up by the second tier teams.
So their lead is considered to be only half a position ahead.
According to such a critical analysis, this year''s MSI mid season competition should be an extremely competitive and suspense event.
Basically, except for the wild card division, which is destined to be the foil of green leaves, it is hard to say who will be able to laugh at the end of the competition among the representative teams of the other five major competition areas. Even if the Taiwan clothing division which seems to rank the fifth in theory, it may not be impossible to make a surprise to pull the strongest Korean clothing division out of the competition.
However.
When this time MSI officially kicked off.
When the representatives of the six division teams quickly into the fierce fight.
Almost for the first time, everyone found that this year''s MSI may not be judged by the old ideas in the past.
Everything.
Compared with previous years, earth shaking new changes have taken place.
To some extent, this year''s MSI is not completely different from that of previous years.
At least, in the first round of the group competition, the two LCS regions of Europe and North America, and the LMS division of Taiwan uniform, from MLG team to season team, and then to Assassin team, all kinds of confrontation and competition among the three teams are still familiar and intense, and it is easy to get high and low.
The assassin won the MLG.
MLG beat season.
Season turns around and cuts down the assassin.
In a word, the first round results of the three teams are all one win and one lose in the competition among themselves, and none of them has gained more advantages.
Then the three teams in the wild card division where the team easily won a victory, so the four games down, the overall result is 2-1.
The record is exactly the same, the score is very tight.
For the majority of ordinary players from all over the world, this scene is also quite familiar, no wonder.
But.
It''s only after temporarily excluding the other two teams.
If the two teams from the LPL division and Lck division of the national service are also included, then -
everything is completely different from that of previous years.
If you include God''s hand and SSK.
Then, the other four MSI teams have to add two more losses to their first round results.
In other words, the first round four games of God''s hand and SSK all won the first round of the four competition areas of wild card, Europe and America and Taiwan uniform.
It is not surprising that SSK can achieve such a result.
But God''s hand does the same thing, which is enough to make the outside world marvel and move, and also makes countless fans of national service players ecstatic!
This year''s LPL
Really rise!
It was also said that according to the evaluation of the strength of the competition area, the LPL division of the national service should have the same level as the LCS of Europe and LCS of North America. There is a chance to win or lose.
The same can''t be said for the LMS.
But in the first round of the MSI group competition -
God the hand of God defeated MLG, assassins and season in succession!Facing the three major enemies, namely, the top king of France in Europe, the top seven kings in the field and the God of world aid, the God team showed a more amazing demeanor this time!
Fight hard and win!
Compared with this, there are even more shocking and even ecstatic news.
Including the four sets of wins against wild cards, Taiwan clothes and European and American regions, the god hand of God team completed the first round of group competition results.
It was a total victory in the five battles.
In contrast, the SSK team, which also won the other four Bo1 games, won 4-1 in the first round.
God God''s hand and SSK team''s first round first round collision, the former''s victory ended.
This seems to be enough to shock the entire E-sports circle. God''s hand, once considered only to be in the second echelon, has not only become one of the first echelons, but even seems to have to remove the once exclusive SSK team from the first echelon -
and the God team itself seems to be monopolizing the first tier!
However, such news has a regrettable note -
the first defeat of the SSK team has a very reasonable reason that no one can find fault with it.
Because.
In the first round of the group match, the SSK team sent out is not the complete main line-up of their own team.
As the soul core of the team and the biggest trump card in the world, the No.1 single in the world.
F-han Shihao, captain of SSK.
He didn''t play.
"Never before!"
War news and professional comments from online forums and social media platforms continue to spread wildly.
The most visible is such a comment.
It represents the indescribable complex mood of numerous ordinary players fans, professionals in the professional E-sports circle, and senior professional commentators and commentators.
It''s not a little fuss
It is a serious international event, and its specification level is almost second to that of the S series world series.
Each team, even the wild card division, is by no means a weak team, and the rest are the top teams in each big old division.
Among them, the winning or losing of each game from the group match is extremely important, which is directly related to whether they can be promoted in the next round. No team dares to be careless in such a situation. In addition to going all out, it is still going all out.
However,
in this mid season MSI competition, as the most powerful SSK team in the world, has made such a move that can hardly be called the world''s great disrespect.
Four main team members were on.
But in the most critical single position, which should have been their trump card winner or loser, they did not send out the world''s first single.
Only one single member of the second team was allowed to substitute.
Such a move, even without any other announcement, seems to have shown an attitude to the world.
Despise.
At will.
Just MSI, the champion of several major competition areas in spring.
I don''t have to play my main ace yet.
