It was the second day.
The second round of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational was also underway.
Based on the results of the first round of the group stage, the North American team SEASON was ranked first in Group A with a 2-0 record, followed by the Chinese team GOD in second place with a 1-1 record, and the Thai team from the wild card region was ranked last with a 0-2 record.
In comparison, the situation in Group B was a bit more complicated.
Apart from SSK, who was in first place with a 2-0 record, MLG was in second place, and the Taiwanese team Assassins was in last place with a 0-2 record.
Although the current situation of the Hitman Squad did not seem optimistic, and they were almost in the same danger of elimination as the Thai Giants in Group A. But in reality, compared to the Thai Giants, who were widely acknowledged to be the weakest, the Hitman Squad still had a fighting chance.
"It's just that the three teams in Group B are too strong."
"Team SSK has already secured a spot in the next round, and MLG's strength is almost on par with Team Assassin's."
"If MLG continues to lose to SSK in the second round of the group stage, and Assassin Squad wins a match against MLG in the second round, then the two teams will have to play a tie-"
"In other words, as long as Assassins can win two matches in a row against MLG, they'll be able to turn the tables and get the second spot in Group B."
During a live interview with DouYu TV, Team Rapid's mid laner "Addisi", who was the guest commentator for the MSI Group Stage the next morning, gave his analysis and judgment.
Su Xue was naturally the live interviewer.
On the second day of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, the competition between the major Chinese streaming platforms was as fierce as ever.
The smell of gunpowder was even stronger than yesterday.
Especially between DouYu and Huya TV, the sparks of hostility were visible to the naked eye.
For the people from Huya TV, their miscalculation yesterday and not being able to interview the Assassin Squad was definitely a slap in the face and humiliation. Today, all the hosts and staff of Huya were suppressing their anger and wanted to compete with the people from DouYu TV.
Ah Mei, as the female streamer of Huya TV, was dressed even more provocatively today. Her breasts were practically on the verge of popping out. It was obvious that she wanted to compete with Su Xue.
But …
As it turned out, it was useless.
Even Su Xue, who could score over 95 points in all aspects, didn't need to spend too much effort to take care of herself. Just a simple outfit was enough to move the hearts of countless people, and it was enough to blow Ah Mei's name off the charts.
In addition, in terms of all kinds of connections and resources …
Su Xue didn't have much of an advantage in this aspect.
But Lin Feng did.
With the close relationship between the two siblings after more than a year, what was yours was basically mine. No one needed to be courteous with the other.
Therefore, under the incredulous gaze of Huya TV's female anchor, Ah Mei, Super Administrator Zhang, and other staff members, Su Xue effortlessly interviewed Nian Thirteen, Shi Hang, Golden Shanzhan, and Tian Tian, the contestants of this year's MSI, as well as the heavyweight celebrity guests.
It was extremely smooth.
They chatted happily.
Even DouYu's staff and administrators couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Qiqi, who had a good relationship with Su Xue, couldn't help but sneak over and ask:
"Ah Xue, do you know Addisi and Circle God?"
"Previously, people from several other live broadcast platforms were rushing to find them to book a live interview opportunity, but they were all rejected."
"Why did they come to us instead?"
Indeed, for the group of DouYu Super Admins, including Qiqi, being able to successfully interview Addisi, Golden Shanshan, and Yuan Shen, these heavyweight guest targets one after another today was a pleasant surprise, but also an incomparable surprise and confusion.
This was because DouYu TV had not done any contact work in this area. Compared to DouYu TV, the other streaming platforms were not weak either. It did not make sense that these top professional players would only favor DouYu TV.
The most important point was … ….
The DouYu staff keenly noticed that when Tian Tian, Golden Shanzhan, and the others were being interviewed, their attitude towards Su Xue wasn't as simple as being friendly and polite. There was even a sense of familiarity and closeness in their tone.
This definitely wasn't because of Su Xue's outstanding appearance and temperament.
However, Su Xue couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"As for me, I don't really know them.
But — "
Su Xue's gaze subconsciously shifted to a certain direction in the front row of the stadium. The corners of her mouth curved up.
"I know them. I'm friends with them."
… …
The three matches in the morning were Group A's God versus Thailand's Giants, Group B's God versus North America's Season, and Group B's SSK versus MLG.
The results of the three matches were as expected.
Team God had one win and one loss in the morning, so they were the first to complete their group matches. Their overall record was two wins and two losses.
On the other hand, Team SSK defeated Europe's MLG once again.
"If that's the case, SSK's in the bag."
An Xin, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, commented with a smile.
Tang Bingyao commented.
"But MLG's Spoon is in great form. He picked Enchantress to play against Phoenix today. He's very confident."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah."
"If Spoon can threaten Phoenix now, then it's definitely believable."
An Xin smirked.
"But still, isn't F better?"
Lin Feng nodded his head in agreement.
"Spoon is in great form, but there's no way they'll be able to beat F."
His tone was casual and calm.
However, his gaze was fixed on the SSK Team in the guest area not far away from him.
… …
The SSK players sat in the front row of the VIP area with relaxed expressions on their faces.
They had one last match left in the group stage, which was against the Taiwanese Assassins in the afternoon. Although the opponent had a top jungler who was one of the world's Seven Kings, their team's MAFA was also not inferior to Nian Thirteen's top player.
As for their other positions and overall strength, they didn't need to be mentioned.
They were confident of making it out of the group stage.
In fact, when they came to Shanghai to participate in the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, the only opponent they had to be wary of was the Season team led by Autumn.
Even Season wouldn't be able to stop them from winning the MSI Championship.
Sitting in SSK's VIP area, Moon, who had been invited as an All Star player, was casually chatting with Han Shihao.
"Spoon is much better than S5 this year."
"That round of Enchantress just now was pretty good."
Han Shihao nodded, his expression calm.
"Yeah."
"It's interesting."
But no matter how amazing MLG's ace mid was, it didn't seem to affect his mood at all.
Seven Kings?
Or did he have the strength to become one of the Yonkō?
Han Shihao didn't care.
He knew that no matter how the esports scene changed this season, or whether the Yonkō rankings would be updated, his position would never change.
He would still be the leader of the Yonkō.
He would still be the world's number one mid that all the top professional players in the world looked up to.
Han Shihao's eyes flickered as if he had thought of something.
The only thing he cared about at the moment …
Maybe only that person.
Two nights ago, in that crayfish restaurant.
He didn't think he was seeing things.
