At the beginning of the year, War Horse had already received an invitation from fpx.

If he still stands still after playing S8 this season, then he should go to LPL to try the waters.

After the war horse left.

The ym team also held an all-hands meeting.

On the one hand, they reviewed the five-day group stage schedule. Meng and Ma also highlighted the problems existing in the team and the style of play that should be continued.

After 10 games, the current ym has mastered three ideas.

The first and most stable one is the double AD routine of mid laner aircraft paired with bottom lane wheel mother/ice/jhin.

The second type, which is Xiaotian’s wild core play style, has male spears/leopard girls/kindred as options.

In the last four games of the group stage, Xiaotian and Su Chen each won two MVPs, which finally made Meng Ma feel relieved and could design some tactics for Xiaotian without any scruples.

If neither of these two ideas can win.

Then Meng Ma can only unleash his trump card.

That is, let Su Chen go!

The top lane is also YM's secret ultimate move.

Samsung, g2, and tsm also all know how ym won in the first half of the group stage.

However, no one knows whether Jiang Keda will have any hidden cards after Akali and Sword Demon.

After all the group stage matches are over.

The four teams that entered the MSI knockout round were all given a two-day break.

During this period, in the domestic lol circle, in addition to the daily battles between black and white players, many people in the circle are also discussing the draw ceremony for the semi-finals.

According to the rules, the top-ranked ym has the right to first select its opponent in the first round.

The current discussion point is whether ym should play g2 or tsm.

Normally speaking, ym and tsm would be a more stable choice.

After all, in terms of strength, g2's overall strength is more than one level higher than tsm.

However, look at the entire group stage schedule.

On the contrary, when it comes to ym and tsm, it will be more difficult to fight.

Because of the existence of the big brother in the bottom lane, ym will pour a lot of energy into the bottom lane on BP.

ez, Kai'Sa, and Xayah are the bovy ones who don't know how to play, but they can't be left to the senior brother, so they all have to be banned.

This makes it difficult for the left hand in the middle and Xiaotian in the jungle to get better options.

When playing g2, the bottom lanes on both sides are pure hybrids.

Even bovy can gain a foothold with functional ads like Ice and Jhin.

ym can safely compete with g2 in the middle and upper jungle.

On the contrary, it will look more stable.

Interestingly.

During these two days off.

On Twitter, g2 and tsm also made harsh remarks.

tsm expressed the hope that ym could select him in the first round, and posted a photo of Bjergsen and his senior brother eyeing each other eagerly, looking like he was about to suffer the shame of being double-killed in the group stage.

On the other hand, g2 showed a strange attitude. If you want to enter the finals, then choose tsm. After all, ym has exhausted all his tricks, and on his side, he still has a lot of things hidden.

After saying that, g2 also posted a picture. It showed five heroes, Qinggang Ying, Gnar, Sword Demon, Akali, and Ornn, on the ban position, and YM's team flag was directly split into two halves.

What g2 means, I don’t know if they are really trying to improve the program, or if they really plan to place orders in five bans.

As for Samsung, which ranks second, it seems relatively cold on Twitter.

Faced with the interaction request from g2 and tsm, Samsung simply responded with an emoticon, as if it had nothing to do with it.

Anyway, when the time comes, ym will finish the selection first and let him pick the rest.

May 17, 20:00 China time.

Inside the LCS studio in Berlin.

The drawing ceremony for the semi-finals has also officially begun.

The four teams that entered the knockout rounds, ym, gneg, g2, and tsm, each sent a representative to participate in tonight's draw ceremony.

After a group stage review video was played on the big screen, sjokz also slowly took the stage. After summarizing the wonderful performances of the past few days, he introduced the representatives of the four teams participating in the draw ceremony tonight.

"The first person to appear is the jkd player from ym!"

Under the introduction of sjokz, Su Chen, wearing a pitch black YM team uniform, slowly stepped onto the stage under the spotlight.

The auditorium immediately burst into cheers. Many Berlin spectators immediately made the shape of a trumpet with their hands and shouted TSM slogans, expressing their hope that YM would select TSM first in the first round.

Next up was the representative of Samsung, Captain An.

Then, there is the smiling perkz, and the bearded Bilson who looks a little weathered.

Representatives of the four teams stood on both sides of sjokz.

She also briefly introduced the rules.

In order to make the lottery more interesting, the organizers of this year's MSI also played a little trick.

Let the four teams choose the team you want to challenge.

Finally, the selection of the number one ym will be announced to re-rank.

This process can also reveal the true thoughts of each team and trigger some discussion.

After sjokz’s introduction, the four representatives also placed the hand cards they had written on them into sjokz’s hands.

sjokz put Su Chen's hand card aside alone, and then thought about the choices of the other three teams.

"The geng team from lck, their opponent in the first round is the tsm team!"

There was a burst of shouts at the scene immediately.

Although g2 either plays Samsung or ym, once the teams in the lck division enter the knockout rounds, they are often in a different state.

If possible, European audiences don't want g2 to face Samsung in the first round.

After reading the three stars, sjokz also went on to read out the choices of the other two teams.

"The g2 team from EU, their opponent is the geng team!"

"As for na's tsm team, they chose the ym team!"

Unexpectedly, g2 actually wanted to beat Samsung in the first round. Combined with the various scenes of them shouting about ym on Twitter, one can't help but sigh that this team is really confident.

On the other hand, tsm wants to beat ym, which also shows that they know their own advantages.

If you beat Samsung, tsm should have no chance at all.

Each team has different ideas, but in the end, the final decision is made by ym.

After drawing Su Chen's hand card.

sjokz first looked around and asked Su Chen beside him in a mischievous manner, saying that it was not too late to make changes now.

After Su Chen smiled and shook his head.

sjokz also read out his choice loudly.

"The ym team from the lpl division, their opponent in the first round is g2!"

When sjokz reads this choice.

Bilson shook his head regretfully, which meant that they were about to face Samsung.

Head An turned his head and glanced at Su Chen, but didn't say anything.

Only perkz, who was selected, was not surprised after confirming that he would play against ym in the first round. Instead, he smiled and clapped.

He looked confident.

After the draw ceremony, the matchups for the semi-finals of the 2018 MSI were officially born.

ym plays against g2, while Samsung plays against tsm.
Chapter completed!
