In the resting room, everyone rested for a while. There was still an hour before the start of the match.
This time, MSI's broadcast was being broadcasted by many domestic live streaming platforms at the same time. For this match, LPL's official commentators, Dolly and Miller, were in charge of the commentary.
Mille: "It's starting, it's starting. The 2019 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship Group Stage is about to begin. The opening match will be between SKT and G2."
Doll: "There's a lot to talk about in this match. Before the match, Ah P has caused a war of words. Both sides are holding their breaths."
On the night that G2 won the LEC championship, Ah P posted on Twitter:
"My first championship. What will I do next?"
"Of course I'll kill The Sh."
"I'm really excited to be able to go to the World Tournament and defeat the top experts in the world."
"Now, I finally feel like a rookie."
Ah P did not want to be left out by provoking IG's top and mid CS.
However, as Twitter was not allowed in China, Ah P's provocation of IG did not receive any response. He immediately turned his gun and pointed it at his senior.
"I'll kill you, Doublelift."
Doublelift: "Why are you calling me that? I'll beat the sh * t out of you. "
Perkz: "Looking at you, I don't feel like a rookie. I feel like a Teddy."
Teddy was also shot and was forced to join the battle. The entire SKT team also entered the battle.
Li Xu naturally wanted to support his teammates, but he was immediately provoked by G2's top laner.
Wunder: "Have you guys seen G2's new office? I think the MSI trophy is a good match for our new office. The trophy should also have the words' King of the Word 'written on it. What do you think? King。
Perkz: "If NA thinks that MSI can win the championship, I'll laugh."
Doublelift: "Li Xu, I think we should meet in the finals."
Li Xu: "Senior, hold on, I'll deal with some trash first."

Mille: "As LCK's first support, countless LPL viewers are also looking forward to Li Xu's performance."
Doll: "For a long time, the top laner position has been the weakness of LPL teams. Li Xu's performance in LCK proved that China can also produce a good carry top laner, but Li Xu still needs to prove himself on the international stage."
"Xu Ge, go go go! Beat Wunder up!"
"Watch me, Xu Ge, beat up King of Mouth, P!"
"Is Li Xu really that powerful? I've never watched LCK. "
"Who's the best top laner orphan? I'm Li Xu. I'll feed myself a bag of salt."
"Li Xu: Wunder, whoever calls themselves junglers is a dog."

As the time approached, the entire SKT team prepared to enter the arena.
As the top laner, Li Xu took the lead and walked out of the players' tunnel.
The venue was very large. Perhaps it was an important venue for Vietnam's political activities, but there weren't a lot of seats. It also wasn't divided into several levels to maximize the space. Li Xu estimated that there weren't as many people as the LCK final venue.
After exiting the players' tunnel, they could see the MSI championship trophy in front of them. The trophy was gold in color, with a spherical shape at the top. A pair of hands held the golden ball, which was somewhat similar to the World Cup trophy.
After glancing at the trophy, Li Xu walked around it and stood on the right side of the stage.
The entire SKT team stood in place, and the host started to introduce the players. As expected, when it came to Li Ge, the entire audience cheered with all their might. The Vietnamese audience was even more enthusiastic than the Korean audience.
The originally solemn National Convention Center was in an uproar. This was probably the first time such a lively scene had occurred.
After sitting in their seats, the entire SKT team started to adjust their equipment. At the same time, the players of G2 entered the arena.
Li Xu glanced at Ah P. As expected of the representative of Happy Games, he even walked into the arena and waved to the audience.
The entire G2 team stood in front of the stage. Li Xu purposely looked at Wunder's back.
This is my first appearance in an international competition. How should I beat you up?
Before the match started, the broadcasters showed the players from both teams being interviewed before the match. The officials seemed to know who had the best words. The first to appear was G2's AD player, Perkz.
The host said, "Player Perkz, last year you said that you regretted not being able to fight SKT. This year, they are here. Do you think you have a good chance of winning?"
Perkz replied, "Why would anyone think that a team that couldn't even participate in the international competition last year would be considered a challenger? Although Faker is strong, the current Caps is not weaker than him. We don't have much pressure to fight SKT. "
The host continued, "Regarding the Twitter post earlier, SKT's top laner King said that he would throw G2 away like trash. Do you feel pressured?"
Wunder: "Last year, I was crushed by The Sh, but I've never felt the pressure of being in China's top singles. I watched SKT's match, and their top laner was neither weak nor strong as I expected."
"Every year in the international competition, you would bring out some unexpected heroes. Are you prepared this time as well?"
Wunder replied, "Of course. We have prepared a lot of new things for this MSI. If I bring out Yasso, please don't be surprised."
The scene changed, and Li Xu's interview was played.
"I will prove who is the best top laner."
Li Xu's first sentence was a classic quote from a certain senior. He did not know if it was a poison healer, but he would know after the match.
The host continued, "As everyone knows, G2 is a team that likes to bring out weird heroes. Wunder said that if he faces you, he might bring out Yasso to beat you."
Li Xu replied, "Yasso? Come come come, let him try. I guarantee that I'll pin him to the ground and beat him. "
"Player Perkz thinks that he won't feel pressured when facing SKT. Then, will you feel pressured when facing G2?"
Li Xu replied, "As long as SKT appears on the stage of MSI, the other teams are all challengers. I'm sorry, I may have said something that might upset some of you, but I don't mean to offend you. What I said is the truth."
"Can you use three words to describe Perkz?"
Li Xu muttered, "Arrogant, shameless, arrogant and shameless."
The host replied, "• • • • •"
Once the short pre-match interview was played, it immediately sparked discussions on the bullet screen.
"It's coming, it's coming. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Who will be slapped in the face?"
"I took a screenshot. These words will turn into a large scale face-slapping scene."
"These people are all talented, and they speak well. I love it here, 23333."
"Did Li Xu learn his flirtatious words from his senior?"
"Let me translate Li Xu's words. Li Xu: Although I don't speak well, I'm sorry, but all of you are trash, 23333."
"That's the essence of the translation above. In fact, that's what Li Xu meant."
"Li Xu's description of Ah P is really accurate, but he's not much better himself. The big brother is laughing at the second brother."
"Wunder dares to mention Yasso in front of me, Xu Ge? Won't he be beaten to the ground by Xu Ge? "
