The long-awaited 2024 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship officially started the MSI qualifying stage on May 1. In the second game on the first day, the new world champion t1 defeated the Latin American king est 2-0. . After the game, T1 auxiliary player Keria was interviewed by Han Wenliu. keria performed well in this game. After t1 came up with the line-switching tactic, keria's active roaming and team-building made this game full of fighting and confrontation more interesting.
In the interview, keria said that this is the first time he has participated in the qualifying round of an international competition, so he is very much looking forward to the qualifying stage because they will encounter many new opponents. He also praised the aggressiveness of his opponent EST and said that although EST was found many opportunities, he still played well in the game. The world champion versus the wild card team was originally a match with a huge gap in strength, but est really relied on teamwork and active team play to get a lot of kills in the early and mid-term.
msi adopted version 14.8 as the competition version, which is completely different from the playoff version and is a challenge for all participating teams. When asked about his views on the current version, Keria said that since T1 has just arrived in China not long ago, the team is still in the stage of training and learning about the version, so he cannot yet give a definite answer on which heroes and tactics will be better. In today's game, Keria selected carry-type supports such as Nico Rambo, who is good at it, and played very well.
But keria said that he was not satisfied with his performance because there were many problems when debugging equipment on the field and he also made many personal mistakes. Sara needs to explain here. Both keria and humanoid reported some problems with computer equipment. Humanoid mentioned that League of Legends locked 80fps. But this problem may not be the hardware, but a problem with Riot Games. They disabled dx9 and failed to optimize in the latest version, which led to the locked frame rate.
keria is a player who is quite sensitive to computer settings, so he is a little uncomfortable with this situation. Despite this, Keria said he was very grateful to the Chinese fans who filled the entire stadium. Their support and cheers allowed t1 to demonstrate a good competitive level. He also said that he felt huge popularity after coming to the arena and was very happy to come to the MSI arena and meet Chinese fans and Chengdu fans. The last time keria came to China was the Asian Games in September last year.
msi adopts a double-elimination knockout format in the qualifying stage. The winning t1 will play against fly in the North American division in the winner group to compete for tickets to the main stage. Judging from yesterday's opening game, fly relies more on jungle rhythm and mid-term team battles, so Keria said that fly's bottom lane players are good at mid-to-late game output, and their t1 bottom lane must play well in the lane. He also mentioned that he is very much looking forward to the performance of fly jungler inspired, who is a frequent visitor to international competitions.
Based on the overall strength of t1, it is not difficult for them to qualify from the playoffs, so in this game against est, they also tried the line-changing style and legal support. The players played more casually. There have been some missteps in this series. keria said that they are still exploring the new version, and playing the game from the play-in stage is a new experience. The team will play well in the play-in stage and advance to the winning and losing group stages, and show good performance in subsequent games.
