In the afternoon, the second group stage of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational came to an end.
First match, Group B.
Team SSK VS Team Assassin.
Perhaps it was because they had been forced to the brink of elimination, but the Hitman Squad seemed to be putting in more effort this afternoon, especially under the leadership of their captain, Nian Thirteen. The Hitman Squad was extremely aggressive and aggressive in the early stages of the game. They even had a slight advantage in the first ten minutes of the game.
They relied on Nian Thirteen's Widow jungler to set the pace for both sides.
Even the guest commentators on the commentator's seat could not help but exclaim in surprise and admiration.
"Nian Thirteen's performance this match is amazing!"
"Team Assassin's rhythm is pretty good. If they can keep this up, they might actually have a chance at winning!"
The players in the spectator stands were also cheering for the Assassins. After all, they had been watching SSK dominate and invincible for so long. It was a little monotonous and boring for them.
If they could see the Assassins defeat SSK once, it would definitely be very exciting.
Because it meant that the world's strongest team from Korea wasn't invincible.
However —
At the fifteenth minute, Team Assassin SSK began to show their strength.
In the Xiaolong group battle, Han Shihao's mid lane Yasuo and MAFA's jungler Blind Monk perfectly coordinated with each other, creating an explosive effect. Team Assassin SSK traded 1 for 4, instantly turning the tables and taking the lead.
At the twentieth minute, Yasuo's score rose to 6/1/1.
At the twenty-fifth minute, Team Assassin SSK's financial lead was over 6,000.
At the thirty-second minute, the match was over.
Team Assassin SSK won.
The audience was silent. In the front row, Lin Feng shook his head.
"What a pity."
… …
After losing the match against SSK, Team Assassin's situation in Group B was completely precarious.
After MLG defeated Thailand Giants in Group A, the final match of the day was between Team Assassin and Team MLG.
Many fans of the Assassin Guild couldn't help but hold their breaths nervously.
If Team Assassin lost again, they would be eliminated from the group stage.
But if they won …
They would still have a chance to play another match against MLG and advance to the semifinals.
"Can they win?"
Tang Bingyao, who was sitting next to Lin Feng, couldn't help but feel worried.
She knew that Nian Thirteen and Lin Feng had a good relationship, so she did not want the Assassins to be eliminated so quickly because of her love for Nian Thirteen.
Lin Feng thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"It's hard to say."
Beside them, An Xin raised her beautiful eyebrows and looked at the stage with glistening eyes.
"Hmm, as for the outcome … it should be fifty-fifty."
…
The second match between Team Assassin and Team MGL had officially begun.
This round …
Nian Shisan was really going all out.
A jungler was chosen. In the early stages of the game, he would invade the opponent's jungle and single-handedly capture the opponent's jungler. After forcing him to use Flash, he would then use Flash to chase after him and forcefully kill the MLG team's jungler.
Four minutes later, he was on his way.
Together with his top laner, Blademaster, they forced their way through the tower and killed the MLG top laner, Rambo.
Seven minutes later, there was a wave of squats in the middle lane.
He helped his team's mid laner Victor kill the opposing team's mid laner Ice Woman.
Nine minutes later, he controlled the first little dragon.
In less than ten minutes, the initiative on the battlefield had fallen into the hands of the Assassin Battle Team.
At the 15th minute, Nian Shisan's score rose to 4/0/1.
His damage output was off the charts.
At the 27th minute, the purple team MLG seized an opportunity to kill Team Assassin's top laner Blademaster and forcefully take the dragon.
The audience below the stage was in an uproar. The male and female commentators on the commentary platform couldn't help but exclaim anxiously.
"Team Assassin's top laner Blademaster made a mistake!"
"She gave the opponent a chance!"
"If MLG gets their hands on this dragon, they might really be able to make a comeback!"
"Team Assassin is going to lose the advantage they've built up with so much difficulty!"
Lin Feng's eyes flickered as he sat in the front row of the audience. His gaze was fixed on the screen where the blue jungler was dashing towards the Dragon Fjord.
"The members of the Assassin Guild are coming!"
"The jungler wants the dragon!"
"Can he get it?!"
The male commentator on the commentator's seat held back his excitement and shouted.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
The health bar above Baron Nash's head quickly dropped to less than a fifth of its original health. On the blue side, the support Ox-head of the Assassin Squad had already unleashed a second WQ combo towards the Great Dragon Fjord.
Victor threw a big move at Jinx, his opponent's ADC.
At the same time —
Nian Thirteen's jungler seemed to have calculated the time to the most precise point. With a lightning-fast [Flash], he plunged into the inner wall of the Fjords. He used his QR skill twice, followed by an Ultimate Bomb, and threw out a [Punishment] at the same time!
The HP bar above Dragon's head dropped to zero!
The female system voice's solemn announcement echoed in Summoner's Canyon.
"The blue-team has-slained-the-baron-nasher."
The audience was in an uproar!
Mo Sheng, the beautiful female commentator on the commentary platform, shouted excitedly.
"He got it!"
"The jungler got the dragon!"
"Beautiful!"
…
The match came to an end at the 35th minute.
The blue team, Team Assassin, won the group stage, and their final score was locked at 1-3.
It was the same score as the European MLG team.
It was the last tiebreaker.
During the short break before the tiebreaker, the coaches on the MLG team's side were angrily saying something to the team members. The MLG team members also looked a little annoyed.
At the same time, in Team Assassin's arena.
Nian Shisan looked at his team members and said casually, "This is the last match.
Give it your all in the last match. "
"If we get eliminated in the group stage, it'll be … too embarrassing."
The tiebreaker began.
Nian Shisan's jungler, Blind Monk, entered the arena again.
For the next thirty-six minutes, the thousands of spectators in the eSports arena, as well as millions of League of Legends players from all over the world who were watching the livestream online, witnessed the glory of Nian Thirteen, the captain of the Assassin Squad who was once known as the world's number one blind person.
Ten minutes.
Blind Monk's score was 3/1/0.
Twenty minutes.
Blind Monk's score was 5/1/3.
In the 27th minute, Team Assassin had taken control of four small dragons!
Even SSK's jungler, Mafa, who was also one of the Seven Kings of the World, could not help but be shocked.
"That Thirteen's control of the jungle today is terrifying!"
The thousands of spectators in the arena could not help but feel their blood boiling!
Two matches in a row …
Nian Thirteen had almost single-handedly led the Assassin Squad to defeat the MLG Squad, forcefully pulling the team back from the brink of being eliminated!
This was the world's top jungler!
This was the true glory of one of the Seven Kings of the World!
Even on the commentator's seat, Shi Hang, who was one of the guest commentators today, was excited.
"Thirteen's form is really good today!"
"He's forced to the brink, so he's going all out!"
"Many people might not know this, but back in the S1 and S2 seasons, Thirteen was already one of the two strongest junglers in Asia!"
Mo Sheng, who was sitting beside Shi Hang, asked curiously.
"Who's the other one?"
"Is it a Korean player?"
Shi Hang was stunned.
Suddenly, he realized that he seemed to have blurted out something that he shouldn't have in his agitated state.
At the same time, Lin Feng lowered his eyes in the front row of the arena.
The two strongest junglers in Asia back then …
One was Nian Shisan.
The other had nothing to do with Korea.
Because the other one …
Was his teammate back then.
