Foreword: The League of Legends MSI Mid-Season Tournament officially kicked off on May 10, with T1 kicking off and RNG also ushering in MSI's first match. When this schedule was first announced, there was an LCK commentary that openly shelled the format, believing that T1 had started the opening game and was going to play until the last day of the regular season, thinking that this arrangement was a fist bias in favor of RNG, which made LPL water friends feel confused. Of course, in addition to the rhythm outside the field, everyone is more concerned about the status of T1 and RNG in the mid-season, as well as the preparation of each team. After all, there has been a period of time since the end of the spring tournament to the start of the MSI, and it is worth paying attention to whether the teams are ready during this time.
The RNG group stage is basically unattractive, and PSG is difficult to pose a threat
From the perspective of group stage opponents, no team's paper strength can approach RNG, except for PSG, which may accidentally beat RNG, other teams and RNG are basically platinum kings. Of course, this is not a milk RNG, but the performance of RNG in the spring games is also seen in the eyes, toughness is full, and there are almost no shortcomings, and the team in the wild card division is difficult to compare with RNG. Although PSG controls Raiden in its own division and achieves 3 consecutive championships, the overall strength is a downward trend compared to the previous two years, although they hinted that they had defeated RNG in the previous training matches, but the group stage is also the end of being sanctioned by RNG.
"RNG is difficult to find an opponent", insiders broke the inside story of the MSI training game
However, just before the MSI started, some insiders broke the MSI training game insider, according to this insider revealed that 1 team that can swing Luzian in the training game broke other teams, so that other teams will directly BAN Nami when training with this team, that is, do not release the "Nami combination", or directly BAN Lucian, in addition, the team's wild will take out the AP with treatment to fight the wild hero, according to the current version, it can also be determined that it is a milk herd leopard woman. In addition, insiders also revealed that the female police brilliance system under the T1 road is very fierce, and the training game of T1 is also in good shape.
Through Lucian's rotation and playing the wild leopard woman to infer, this team can basically hammer for RNG, because G2's Luna combination can not understand, and FAKEr has not taken Luzian for a long time, and before GALA and Xiaoming often took out the "Luna system" in training matches, and Lucian of the little tiger, whether in the middle of the road or on the road is very C, from the insider's revelations, the little tiger is also C hemp in the training game. There may be small partners who will say that WEI does not play Leopard Girl much, but in the whole season of S11, WEI pulled out leopard women's winning percentage is 100%, and this MSI WEI is likely to regain this hero.
Summary of personal analysis
The gold content of MSI this time is very high, T1, G2, RNG are all teams that have won the MSI championship, RNG online participation also occupies a certain advantage, if RNG can complete the defense of the title, it is undoubtedly the situation that most LPL sailors want to see. However, in the author's opinion, the probability of RNG playing the group stage is still stable, on the one hand, to find the feel, on the other hand, it will also pull out the version of the strong hero to practice, and exercise the team's ability to resist pressure.
So there may be that kind of headwind in the RNG group stage, but the game that flips later. In addition, the previous experience of IG overturning on MSI also shows that some wild card teams or teams in Europe and the United States will often have big moves, which is also where RNG must be guarded against, but Zhu Kaidang coach always gives people a sense of stability, so the author predicts that RNG has a high probability of winning the group stage, and playing PSG will not give opponents a chance. So the final question is, what do you think is the chance that RNG will win the MSI this time?
