The 2024 MSI Mid-Season has come to the winner-lose group stage, after the previous draw results were announced, everyone was satisfied with the signing of the LPL region, and the first game of this stage also officially started on the 7th, TES, one of the host teams, against the No. 1 seed TL in the North American region.
Before the game, many people predicted that TES would win the match, after all, the difference between the divisions has existed for the past few years, and this huge gap cannot be easily bridged.
In the first game, the two sides came to change the line at the beginning, although it had a slight impact on the development of 369, and it was also taken a blood, but the follow-up JackeyLove Lucian damage exploded, and after getting a double kill online, it helped TES stabilize the overall situation. In the middle of the TES small team battle, the successive battles snowballed, and the economic advantage gradually expanded to 5k. In the later stage, TES got the Wind Dragon Soul, easily pushed up the TL highlands to play 0 for 3, and bulldozed the TL base in a wave to go to the next city.
But in the second game, TL found that it was better to choose a late-stage hero when the lower lane could not be confronted, so the hero Smod appeared again, but this hero was weakened a little in the previous version, and the mid-laner Dragon King was chosen, TL's lineup was obviously going to the late stage.
But in the execution of tactics, the script did not develop in the direction that TL wanted, although they selected Rambo and Rexer to top the mid-term, but the 369 hand card gave TES a natural advantage at the team battle level, so the first and middle waves of team battles made TL more and more disadvantaged, although the dragon king got some kills in several waves of team battles, but in the case of TES double C has been formed, TL is also powerless, and finally in the case of TES winning the big dragon, only 23 minutes to win the match point game.
It has been seen from the first two games that TL has no chance of winning in the face of a strong team like TES, and after they forcibly dismantled TES's Luna combination, they selected the lower lane of Ember + Nami, so they immediately changed the line to ensure development after the start, but even so, TL still can't eat any sweetness in the lower lane combination.
On the contrary, impact got some advantages in several waves of small collisions in the early stage, and when the game came to the middle of the game, Xiao Tian's hand Zhao Xin's formation division ability on the battlefield was too good, and then cleared the strong single ability of the Lumi combination, and broke it one by one, the crocodile of impact not only failed to hold up the middle stage, but also was targeted and gradually lost its effect, with the formation of the TES double shooter lineup, they also completed 1 for 4 in 23 minutes and won the big dragon, and then it was to carry the big dragon buff and win the game in 26 minutes, Take the lead 3-0 to advance to the winner's next round.
With the smooth promotion of TES, their next opponent is the winner of FNC and GEN, but judging from the recent intensity of Europe and the United States, there is a high probability that the game between China and South Korea is inevitable, and the losing TL is likely to meet FNC.
