Last week took place in Paris the group stage of the World Championship of League of Legends. Sixteen teams from around the world battled to qualify for the quarterfinals taking place right now in London. With nearly 1500 people who followed the event on site, the atmosphere was electrifying and inevitably intense suspense. Between crazy strategy, technique, sense of timing and working group, the competition already sported final paces with teams from Fnatic, H2K and Origen who gave their all. JEUXACTU was present at the event and here is what he had learned from these two weekends amok.
The competition starts with an outstanding match against Fnatic Invictus Gaming. The two favorites in this pool clash for domination of Group B. Fnatic, European champion and darling of the French public, makes a perfect lead-in, crushing the Chinese team. Invictus Gaming "Surrend" (go) after 30 minutes as the domination of Europeans is stifling. The crowd rejoices and Fnatic confirm his favorite status in the World TOP 3. There followed a huge surprise since Cloud 9, minnows of the group B, manages to win against some elegant ahq team cohesion and followed a game plan to the letter. A perfect score of C9 to start these Worlds.
For SKT1 and Edward Gaming no surprise, Korean and Chinese giant dominate Group C against winning Bangkok Titans and H2K respectively. This first day ends with two games in Group A. Counter Logic Gaming, the US number 1, is frightened Flash against Wolves but manages to win the game thanks to a flawless Doublelift. To close the day, bread Gaming reclines without surprise, despite a good start to the match against the Korean number two: KOO Tigers.
The second day begins with the opening match of Group D teams or "Death Group" (Group of Death): LGD Gaming with the Chinese number one and favorite of this competition, KT Rolster Korean ogre, the legendary US team: Team Solo Mid and finally Origen second darling of the French public. Despite excellent resilience of Americans, the Korean team is largely imposed through a good sense of timing and teamfight (group share) of a great master.
Then it was the turn of French Origens and top-laner Soaz to make their debut in the competition. The audience sings Marseillaise to encourage underdogs in this group. The match started badly for Origen who gradually loses control of the game. Indeed the super-star LGD: Imp appears to lead his team to a Chinese inexorable victory. But a miracle occurs, the mid-laner of European xPeke, reverses part through a magnificent shock-wave (shock wave) and gives an advantage to his team. This allows Europeans to fully control the rest of the game. Icing on the cake (rice) Origen ends with a sublime back-door Soaz.
The audience explodes joy face this feat and demonstrates to the world that the Asian giants are not untouchable.
Nevertheless, as to reaffirm the Asian supremacy, numbers 1 Global SKT T1 and the excellent Edward Gaming outclass their opponents in two-way games. H2K and Bangkok Titans are unsurprisingly two defeats in the tournament. However, a new development takes place during the day. Taiwanese Flash Wolves overthrow the Korean giant KOO Tigers and prove again that anything is possible in these world championships or the level of each team seems particularly high. And finally to finish this day CLG says their status as number one US and imposes logically face Pain Gaming.
These World Championships 2015, in a crazy atmosphere, continue to surprise.
LGD are desperate, because they are now three defeats. Chinese champions live a real disappointment. The agreement within the team is disturbed. Moreover Imp and GodV expected if unable to talk to their talent. TSM advantage of his weakness and recovery in the competition. Unless a faultless returns during matches, LGD will be eliminated.
Three is to Origen? Europeans confront KT Rolster their direct opponent in first place in this group D. Despite an early game governed by the Korean team, the darlings of the public are able to focus on the overall objectives. They take a Nashor (neutral monster), which combined with their highly mobile composition overwhelms Koreans. Due to a perfect control of the endgame, Origen is offered an easy victory, and a nice option in the quarterfinals.
Burst of pride on the part of the Chinese team that manages to Edward Gaming end their losing streak and snatches his first point in the group B against ahq. The dream continues for Cloud 9. The public fervor for Fnatic will not prevent C9 keep their invincibility. The start of the game is perfect for Americans. They arrive has effectively put pressure on the weaknesses of Fnatic. But thanks to the experience and good skirmishes in the jungle. Fnatic manages to reverse the course of the match and cornering C9.
The game is extremely tight and C9 held firm against European attacks that are not open. Unfortunately excessive zeal on the part of Fnatic at the enemy inhibitor allows American to reverse again the game in their favor. The resulting from this devilish game is determined at the last or teamfight Balls Darius with his successful first Pentakill (killed five enemies) of these Words. This allows Cloud 9 to finish the enemy base and have a good chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals.
CLG their counterpart does not achieve the same feat as they bow against a Tigers team KOO dominatrix. And finally bread Gaming overcomes Flash Wolves after a lengthy part. The first phase of his matches to go is so complete. The atmosphere was incredible to Pullman Docks throughout the four days and the French public deserves its title of best audience in the world.
Initially, we witnessed the collapse of the Chinese teams announced as yet formidable. This is due to the lack of performance of their superstars, as Imp, Kakao or GodV. But also to a surprising level of some European or American teams like Origen and C9 that end up on a faultless. Then the Korean teams have demonstrated that their level was still high. The three teams in contention are likely to spend his group stage. Especially SKT T1 which stands out as favorite for the rout of the LGD team.
Finally, some groups still hotly contested, especially B group or Fnatic favorites should challenge for the next decisive parts that lie ahead.
Similarly for Group A or all teams have one loss each. Nothing is settled yet. Indeed anything can happen. Since no team is mathematically eliminated. As was demonstrated his four days in League of Legends anything is possible.
