The next day, October 8th, domestic time.

The holidays have just ended, and the group stage of this year’s World Championship has finally officially begun.

For many viewers, it is equivalent to not watching the game until today.

Even if there were LPL teams in the previous qualifying rounds, people didn't like to watch them very much, and the enjoyment was really low.

But this match time in the group stage is indeed too hellish.

Before the schedule was announced, even if everyone was mentally prepared, they would still be overwhelmed when they saw the group stage schedule.

The first group match is at 5 a.m. domestic time.

At this time, it can only be said that most people are not awake yet. Even those who work and go to school cannot get up so early.

To a certain extent, this timing issue will also affect ratings.

It's really not very friendly to Asian audiences.

But due to the time difference, there is nothing we can do about this. At this time, we still consider the results after considering the Asian audience.

There are six group matches in one day. It can only be said that the first few games are dominated by European and American teams, and the next three games are dominated by Chinese and Korean teams.

Basically, after the first three games were played, it was already after eight o'clock. At this time, for domestic audiences, it was still okay.

Of course, many people have to go to work and go to school, so it is really not convenient to watch the game.

On the first day of the group stage, three LPL teams competed.

Chen Ke and the others faced G2 at around 8 a.m. domestic time.

In the starting list the day before, everyone saw Chen Ke's ID in the mid lane position.

It was a bit of a surprise, I didn’t expect Chen Ke to be in the first scene.

According to Chen Ke's gameplay this season, fans are still wondering whether they can see this person in this year's World Championship.

It came on suddenly, which was a bit of a surprise.

Of course, everyone knows that it has a lot to do with the fact that the opponent is G2.

Chen Ke plays against his old club. If nothing else, the ratings of this game will definitely not be low.

First of all, G2 is the most popular team in Europe and the United States. Don't look at the competition between North America and Europe.

In fact, they definitely support the European division more than they support the Chinese and Korean teams. After all, they are considered a team in the Western world.

Needless to say, Chen Ke is very popular in Europe and the United States.

In addition to performance and operation, the identity of G2 star is also important.

It’s not like Chen Ke and G2 have never played against each other before. They will definitely play against each other every time at MSI.

But in the S game, this seemed to be the first time I encountered it.

The atmosphere can be said to be full, and the viewing time is also suitable. There is no reason why the ratings in Europe and the United States are not high.

In China, everyone really wants to see V5 play G2, except for Chen Ke.

Both of them are engaged in the team, and together, the program is expected to be quite effective.

Unfortunately, domestic ratings data are not included in the statistics.

There are very few old acquaintances in the G2 team. Chen Ke’s former teammates only remain in the midfield.

It can only be said that Caps is the real core of this team.

If everyone is replaced, even the boss is replaced, he will probably still be the mid laner.

Unless the player is so good that he can no longer play, it will be difficult to change, and there will not be many mid laners who can play.

Not to mention Europe, there are actually very few powerful domestic mid laners here.

G2 has basically stuck to the all-European class since S7. There is a high probability that they will not compete for the powerful mid laners in other regions.

Chen Ke vs. Caps, a duel between old teammates.

Yesterday, there was a wave of interactions on the official social media of G2 and V5, as well as on domestic and foreign platforms.

They both mocked each other, but it didn't seem like they were very passionate.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two teams are flirting.

There is a 12-hour time difference between New York and China. The game starts around 8:30 pm in New York, which is considered a prime time period.

In the first game, everyone's focus must be on the middle.

Chen Ke took out a hero like Akali, who is more demanding on operations. What people didn't expect was that Caps chose a late-game core mage like Tsar, who is conservative and prefers farming.

When laning, the Czar seemed to have long hands, but Chen Ke didn't have much pressure.

Just be a little bit clumsy in the early stage. Caps seems to have been suppressing Chen Ke's consumption, and he does have an advantage in terms of blood volume.

However, after spending a long time watching the excitement, Chen Ke was actually in the lead after last-hitting.

Akali is a hero with a quick pace, and it will be difficult for you to really suppress her in the early laning.

After level six, Akali will become more active in the mid lane.

Yangkuosi has always had plans for Chen Ke. He, the ruined king, has always wanted to harass Chen Ke.

Seeing that the middle lanes of both sides had reached level six, Yangkuosi wanted to cooperate with the Tsar to catch Chen Ke.

If Akali is caught and killed directly at level 6, it will have a greater impact on the hero's rhythm.

In the next game, you may see this hero look less like an assassin, changing from a thorn in the outside world to a thorn in the outrage.

It's just that it's too difficult to catch Akali, who has flash, big attack, and Xia Formation.

Moreover, the control of the Ruined King was unstable, and all the Czar could count on was a roundabout push.

When Caps chose to take action, Chen Ke himself didn't expect it.

However, Chen Ke reacted quickly. As soon as the Czar drifted up, Chen Ke used the E skill to distance himself.

Caps moved very forcefully, even though Chen Ke was already moving backwards, he still pushed out his ultimate move, but the result was that the ultimate move was completely empty.

Chen Ke felt baffled after seeing it. The black mist around the edge of the wall made it clear that the King of Destruction had arrived, but what would happen even if the jungler came.

Even if he gets this round push, it's still impossible to catch Chen Ke to death.

The Tsar did no harm at this point, and Chen Ke still had about three-quarters of his health.

The Ruined King hasn't reached level six yet, and Chen Ke really doesn't know how these two people can kill him.

Chen Ke also occasionally watched G2 games this year, but after many of his former teammates left, Chen Ke didn't watch as much as before.

It can only be said that this year's G2 often makes some outrageous decisions.

Their current strength should be quite different from MSI's back then.

That is to say, they have more points in the Spring Split, plus the European competition format, so G2 got the second seed without much effort.

In the European Division, you may not win a single BO5 throughout the year, but you can still enter the World Championship in the end. ,

The Falcon Dance that Chen Ke threw out in order to move backward was very accurate and hit the Tsar accurately.

In front of Yangkosi, Chen Ke directly pressed the second E and flew over.

Now that the Czar is gone, it is a perfect opportunity for Chen Ke to take action.

As for Yangkousi on the side, Chen Ke completely ignored him.

When the Ruined King saw Chen Ke taking action, he came up and gave him a W. This W skill was really easy for Akali to hide from.

Once the W was empty, the Broken King didn't even have a big move yet, so he really didn't know how to save the mid laner.

Almost all of Chen Ke's injuries were placed on the Tsar.

Caps has a flash on his body, and he also knows that his flash must be used to avoid Akali's second-stage ultimate move.

Otherwise, everyone will be killed alone in this wave.

However, Chen Ke stayed close to him during the output process, and the distance between the two was very close.

With the Tsar's current HP, Chen Ke can just use his skills. There is no need to be greedy for those two extra flat A damage.

Akali's second-stage ultimate move is inherently fast, so it's normal that she can't dodge it when it's close to her face, unless you predict it in advance.

But this thing is difficult to predict, because Caps knows that Chen Ke's flash is still there.

If he handed in the flash in advance, he would still die.

Maybe he was thinking too much, Caps didn't even react, and was directly killed by Chen Ke with the second stage [Exterior and Internal Killing Chaos].

After getting the first blood, there was a wave of applause from the scene.

As long as they are not playing games in South Korea or Wanwan, it is basically Chen Ke's home court.

There are also many fans of Chen Ke in North America, and in addition to the beautiful country, we also have many people, so the scene immediately became excited at this moment.

Yangkuosi was right next to him and witnessed the whole process of his teammates being single-killed.

I almost applauded and said "wonderful", but after thinking about it, Chen Ke seemed to be the opposite, and quickly held it back.

After Chen Ke got the head, he almost lost no blood and was still in good condition.

Without the ultimate move, the Ruined King couldn't fight Chen Ke, so he quickly moved back.

It can't be said that he is useless in this wave. At least with his presence, Chen Ke can count as a one-on-two counterattack to kill the opponent.

One-on-two counter-killing and one-on-one solo killing seem to be somewhat different.

Besides, if it hadn't been for him, Tsar wouldn't have taken the initiative to activate EQ and turn it up. Yangkousi is very useful!

Got first blood for Chen Ke, and it was a hero like Akali.

Soon G2 knew what cruelty meant. You must know that King Ning was busy farming the wild in the early stage, and he hadn't started to exert his strength yet.

If King Ning cooperates with Chen Ke to increase the intensity, G2 will really not be able to handle it.

Throughout the game, Caps was killed four times by Chen Ke.

In one game, I was killed four times by my opponent. To be honest, it was a bit outrageous, considering that I was playing a hero like the Czar, who has a good life-saving ability.

In addition to Chen Ke's abnormal state, Caps is indeed not in good condition today.

After thinking about it, this is already S12. After playing professionally for so many years, how many people can maintain their form all the time.

Chen Ke didn't think about it because this was his old teammate, or whether he would cause dissatisfaction among European fans if he killed too hard.

Having that kind of thinking is just because I worry too much. When it comes to the game, no matter who the opponent is, just go all out and be done with it.

It would be a humiliation if he deliberately let go when he could kill him.

In addition, Chen Ke knows the psychological quality of G2 people very well, and knows that even if they lose miserably, it will not have a big impact on their mentality.

Compared to them, European fans actually have a better mentality.

It was quite uncomfortable to see G2 being killed by an explosion, but seeing that the person who killed G2 was Chen Ke, it didn't seem too hard to accept.

It belongs to pain and happiness.

After the game, when Chen Ke went over to fist bump, he hugged the G2 midfielder.

Everyone was smiling and seemed really unaffected.

After going down, Chen Ke saw Yan Hupu scoring.

The pair of midfielders and midfielders in G2 had the lowest scores, so it can only be said that they performed the worst.

The other players in G2 didn't play well either, but not as well as the two of them.

Cpas was even criticized, saying, "I never expected that in the first game of the group stage, everyone would be fooled."

After the game, Chen Ke and the others were busy accepting interviews.

Chen Ke accepted the interview on the main stage, which was in English, so Chen Ke could output without pressure.

But the opponent was his old club, and he was playing against his former teammates.

It's okay to make a few jokes, but Chen Ke won't really start a group to deal damage.

After Chen Ke and the others are finished, the next game is for LPL second seed Taobao to play the Vietnamese team GAM.

Chen Ke didn't have much expectations for this game.

In Chen Ke's impression, there was no problem with Taobo when they met Vietnam in the first round.

They won Vietnam in the first round, and the remaining two teams all lost.

He lost to Vietnam in the second round, but he won the remaining two teams.

But by winning against those two teams, it was already certain that they would be eliminated.

This is often the case. When you are sure that you are out, you will play the game instead.

It is worth mentioning that GAM kneeled in all three games after the first round, and it was basically determined that there would be no way to qualify.

When they were playing Taobo, they knew that there was a high probability that they would have no hope of qualifying, so they let go of their hands and feet.

On the way back to the hotel, Chen Ke and the others watched the match between Taobao and the Vietnamese team.

This game is not very entertaining to watch, but if you have nothing to do, everyone still wants to watch it.

It is normal for professional players to watch other games when they are not competing.

The competition venue is quite close to the hotel. After Chen Ke and the others arrived at the hotel, the competition had just started not long ago.

Only a few minutes into the game, Taobo took the lead.

"Eat, eat, don't bother to watch, this Vietnamese team is really vulnerable."

After returning to the hotel, everyone gathered together to prepare for dinner. The meals ordered from the Chinese restaurant outside were delivered in advance before they came back.

Prince Ning turned off his phone and was a little too lazy to look at it.

As soon as ten minutes into the game, the situation became very obvious.

369 opened a box of lunch, put his mobile phone on the table and said, "Just look at it while eating. It's just in time for dinner."

Mai Zijian liked to stand when he was eating. He smiled and said, "You guys look down on the Vietnamese team too much. Maybe we can do it later."

"Don't underestimate any team that can come to the World Championship and reach the main draw."

In fact, Mai Zijian doesn't think he can overturn it. Even if you ask Jack to drive against this kind of team, the opponent may not be able to seize the opportunity.

He just wanted to remind the players not to have such a mentality of looking down on any opponent.

I don’t know whether the others listened or not, but Chen Ke had a thought in his mind.

Anyway, since he knew that his coaching level was not as good as Zhu Kai's, even Chen Ke looked at Mai Zijian several times.

Mai Zijian's coaching skills don't seem to be very good, but in fact he is pretty good at what he can do.

No matter how you look at it, he is still better than Zhu Kai, which shows that he still has something.

Today, I asked everyone not to underestimate the Vietnamese team. It really spoke to Chen Ke's heart.

Wink couldn't help but joked: "It's not that I underestimate him, they have no chance at all against Taobo."

They are all from the LPL division. Even if Taobo has always been defeated, Wink recognizes their strength.

"It's hard to say this. If you play well this time, it might be different in the second round."

Mai Zijian is still providing ideological education to the team members: "The performance of many teams in the first round and the second round is completely different."

"To put it bluntly, the World Championship is about seeing how quickly everyone evolves."

Prince Ning said indifferently: "I know what you mean, but for the team in Vietnam, you tell me how to evolve?"

"No matter how much you evolve, you can't beat Taobo."

Hearing this, Chen Ke really couldn't help it and reminded: "Don't talk too much, there is nothing in this world that is 100% perfect."

"Come on, what you two are saying is too exaggerated. Look at how the Vietnamese team is playing. Taobo has already pushed the opponent flat in just ten minutes."

Prince Ning still insisted on his point of view: "It's really easy to fight in Vietnam. This guy on the left is too sure to beat the opponent."

"No matter how many times the two teams fight, they will never lose. If they lose, I will eat as much as you pull."

After he finished speaking, Toothpaste couldn't help but said in disgust: "Made is eating, please stop being disgusting, okay?"

Chen Ke was speechless and advised: "It's indeed a bit disgusting. I can't bet like this. How about you change something."

"What's there to exchange for? I'll just leave it here and I'll eat three kilograms!"

Prince Ning's desire to win also increased, and he did not change his mind at all.

Chen Ke knew that he couldn't continue. If he continued, the bet might be increased.

If everything goes according to the timeline, after Tao Bo was captured, the biggest victim would probably be Prince Ning.

Because Chen Ke noticed at this time that the photography guy led by the team was still shooting at this time.

The team's usual training, as well as what they ate, etc., must be photographed and used as material for VLog editing.

Fans are very concerned about these. The current number of fans of V5 cannot be careless in this regard, so the price of the camera guy hired is a bit high, but the quality is indeed good.

And the people are very dedicated.

Chen Ke thought about asking his brother to send him the words about Prince Ning's gamble after dinner.

There is no other meaning, I just want to get into Prince Ning’s mentality.
