"It's so strong, DME! Sister Zaozi, this Annie is really top notch!"

"Really or not, DWG is gone now? Even in the group stage, right?"

"It seems that it's not SKT that's too strong, but DWG that's vulnerable?"

"Where's Han Chui? Come out and say something!"

"My wife is so annoying!"

After the focus match of Group C came to an end, the audience in the LPL live broadcast room was filled with excitement and barrages such as "666" to express their excitement.

That's right, before this game started, almost all the viewers and commentators in the outer divisions had always believed that even if SKT was swept 3-1 in the spring finals, DWG would still be a team strong enough to be among the top four in the world.

Against the top three teams in the LPL, DME, TES or JDG, we can achieve a 50-50 draw.

This may be because DWG was too dominant in the summer split, or because of the impression caused by being dominated by LCK in the past, but it is undeniable that DWG is still a favorite to win the championship even if they lose to SKT.

But now, after the group stage showdown, the strength gap between DWG and the real top team DME was suddenly revealed.

A wolf-headed Annie who was temporarily trained in rank during the break of the World Championship. Considering that it was taken out in the first game of the group stage, it was not even DME's top weapon, but it easily defeated DWG.

Even the LPL viewers themselves were surprised, let alone the Korean viewers who didn't know much about DME's capabilities and still had full confidence in DWG.

Soon, after the Bo1 ended, Tang Xiaotang was immediately pulled in by the LPL hosts for an interview, and asked about her views on Wolf Head Annie, and Tang Xiaotang was unambiguous and immediately said that it was a rejection.

I saw some passers-by playing well, so I went to practice for a while. I found that my performance was good, so I had an idea and chose it.

However, this is definitely not the truth. After all, Wolf Head Annie is paired with a fast-paced snowball lineup. This requires long-term running-in in training games, and it is not something that can be achieved by selecting it at the last moment.

As for why they were so generous in selecting them on the first day of the group stage, it was because DME also prepared another set of ultimate iron barrel formations that were at the bottom of the box, and that was DME’s ultimate method.

…

"What do you think?"

After the game between DME and DWG, in the hotel room, all members of SKT, who had no games to play today, were also in the suite exchanging opinions with each other - for SKT, there is no need to care about their defeated DWG, the number one seed in the LPL

DME is the biggest enemy in my mind. People will gather in the room to watch the game today, mainly because of DME.

"DME is much stronger than DWG. There is already a gap in strength between the two sides, just like DWG and us..." said Jin Jingzhu in the corner of the room.

After the SKT fantasy lineup in S5 won the bet, SKT's current decision-making power has come into the hands of the five players. But no matter what, Kim Jingzhu is the head coach on the surface, and he has to play in the game.

After winning the summer finals, the relationship between the two parties also had a sense of burying the hatchet. Jin Jingzhu will still participate in BP, but his positioning is more similar to that of an assistant coach.

"Dongzao's Annie has a great rhythm." Bengi frowned, "This wolf-headed Annie should be something DME planned to throw out from the beginning. Strictly speaking, DWG didn't play any of DME's trump cards."

"If we were DWG, how should we deal with this Annie? Dongzao's Annie is too outrageous, running around like a ghost." Wolf asked.

"How about using Galio to handle it?" Bang thought for a while and said.

"No, Annie's explosion is too high, and Galio is in close combat. He will be stunned if he adds troops. It is too easy for Annie to link up with the wild assistant to gank." Faker shook his head.

"Then...use a clockwork?" Bang suggested again.

"Annie from Dongzao, Showmaker can't handle it with Zoe, so it will be the same with my clockwork... Her personal ability is too strong, and no one can suppress her at the moment, including me." Faker sighed,

Even at his peak, he was not sure that he could suppress Dongzao in the line-up, let alone that he was still in the process of returning to his peak.

"What should we do?" Bang was helpless. As an ADC, what he was most worried about was that the rhythm collapsed in the early stage, which would not give him the chance to take over the game in the later stage.

"Don't worry." Marin, who had been looking down in thought at this time, finally raised his head and said, "Anyway, DME and we are not in the same group. If we both qualify first in the group, we won't meet in the quarterfinals... Let's focus on it first.

Let’s go to TES. As for DME’s Annie, let’s see if DWG can give us some ideas for reference next time we play DME.”

After a pause, he suddenly smiled again: "Don't be so nervous. We are in good shape now. We are stronger than any other team in terms of physical strength. Just play with a calm mind. Besides, DME has taken out the wolf head."

Annie, don’t we have any trump cards? Once we come up with our final resort, no one can stop us, including DME.”

…

The first day of the group stage ended quickly.

In the subsequent schedule, DME will also face TL and MAD respectively.

However, even DWG has been defeated. It is not difficult to defeat LCS's old team TL and LEC's experienced baby MAD. After calculating the schedule, everyone in DME is not nervous. They still play training games every day.

Rank, by the way, study the teams of other groups to find solutions to the current version of the problem.

"TES lost to SKT...Brother Li's move is really outrageous, and it was another scene where he rose to fame with four big moves."

"Other teams seem to have a regular lineup without any black technology."

"That's for sure. There are not many teams that dare to use unique tricks like ours."

"The main reason is that Sister Zaozi's hero pool is too outrageous. I don't have to worry about using any of them. Anyway, I just need to hide the core set of tactics."

"Tomorrow we play TL. Let's have Annie take down Annie. TL has banned Annie, so we'll just take the regular lineup."

"It's best to watch TL release Annie. This hero has a fast pace and can end the game in more than 20 minutes."

Amid such discussions, as the group stage schedule progressed, DME quickly faced TL and MAD on the second and third days of the group stage respectively.

There is not much to say about the process of these two games, they were both short and quick.

Among them, TL did not choose to ban Annie, but chose to use mid laner Galio to try to fight head-on.

However, the support capabilities of the wild assistants on both sides are completely different. When TL thinks that it is going to play 2v2 in the middle and jungle, DME will often sneak out a PPGod without anyone noticing, and the result will naturally be a collapse in the early stage, and even more so in the mid-term.

There was a horrifying scene where the fire girl exploded and knocked Galio directly into the formation.

So after the game, Jensen was ridiculed wildly by LCS netizens, and some LPL memes were also brought in, such as the genuine mid laner Xiaodong Zao beating the pirated mid laner Jason, etc. While mocking Jensen's dish, he missed the one who once had the red dates combination.

Time. But Jensen is also very single. When he was watching the water dispenser in the team in S9 last year, he got a lot of advice from Tang Xiaotang. He was half a student, so he posted a photo with Tang Xiaotang immediately after the game and made them famous.

Shouting "Master is awesome" and a wave of self-deprecation at the speed of light caught all the sunspots off guard.

On the other side, LEC's fourth seed MAD was much more honest when playing against DME. Seeing that both DWG and TL were defeated by DME's wolf-headed Annie, they banned Annie from the very beginning.

However, it is a pity that MAD's own hard power is completely insufficient. Even if they ban the wolf-headed Anne and use some mainstream lineups to fight for hard power, they are still beaten to the point where they can't find a way - Tang Xiaotang doesn't have any unique skills, just the same as Chen Zilan

With a male gun, he easily gained the advantage in the early and mid-term. Ning Shuyu, who was on the road, even selected his beloved Qinggang Shadow and defeated the opposite Crocodile in 1v1, winning the MVP of this game.
