Chapter 440: Pig-Dog War, E-Sports Spring Festival Gala
The reason why their winning streak was interrupted by Vietnam’s richest man is that after three games, the difference in GANK efficiency between Sofm and Ai Loli reached... 4.2 times.
That's right.
Not 4.2.
It is 4.2 times.
All I can say is that the richest man in Vietnam is worthy of being the richest man in Vietnam.
The highlight is that the odds are right and the game is easy.
The two old rogues, Holy Spear and Crystal, plus the Samsung foreign aid Uoguo and support Hudie, are all more cowardly than the other when talking about EDG.
When they met EDG, each one was more fierce than the other.
All of the small universes exploded.
There was no single kill in the top lane, and all the data in the mid lane except for the last hits were crushed. In the bottom lane, Crystal brother kRYST4L once again pressed down on A Shui.
In the third small field, Brother Shuijing even took out Vayne.
The other heroes are easy to say.
As soon as Wayne came out.
They also survived the laning phase with a record of 1-0.
Even Xing Dao seems to be turning into Dancing Xerath.
And this is just the beginning.
On January 29, EDG inexplicably lost a small game against BLG, a new team that bought the LPL quota from IM, did not make any reinforcements during the transfer period, and was just testing the waters.
On February 3rd, they even gave the VG team consisting of Old Monkey King + Retirement Ding Huang + Factory Director's junior brother, the sleepwalking jungler Crash, a point with a record of 1-2.
The game just ended.
Posts about division of responsibilities became popular.
From the fans' perspective, EDG is not incapable of losing.
Anyway, everyone is just training in the regular season, the playoffs and the World Championship are the focus, and it is normal to lose one or two games occasionally.
The problem is…
You can't lose too badly!
It is barely understandable that they lost to a team like Snake, which plays with snakes .
Crystal brother kRYST4L had a record of teaching A Shui a lesson with EZ Draven's forehand and backhand.
Saint Spear was originally second only to Xing Dao and now second only to Xing Dao and The shy. Taking into account various aspects such as awareness, support, and team battle performance, his overall strength is definitely not weaker than The shy at this time.
Not to mention Sofm who went crazy.
It's not a big problem to let these guys take one point and get out.
Give BLG a small field...I'll bear it.
As long as the result is good, that's fine.
What the hell is this about losing to VG?
"Although Brother Jie was practicing his heroes in the past few games, he was able to suppress Brother Shengjing by more than 70 points at most when playing against Team Snake. When playing against VG, he killed Brother Long twice in three games, and his lowest score was over 90 points."
"Meiko scored 80 points. He did a good job in teamfighting and protection."
"Double C is probably around 60-70, which is the passing line."
"The jungler is simply sleepwalking. He has lost all the spirit from the previous few games. He is still the prince. How can he take over the factory manager's job?"
"In the first few games, I just enjoyed some benefits as a new player. After being studied thoroughly, I couldn't play well anymore."
"If Ai Loli was capable, he wouldn't have to sit on the bench for so long. He simply doesn't have the talent to play in the LPL."
"Ten thousand people signed a petition in blood begging the factory director to come out of retirement."
…
Inside the EDG club.
Faced with the most unexpected defeat, all EDG members gathered together for a discussion...but didn't come to any conclusion.
Fans all think Ai Loli has the greatest responsibility.
In fact.
After a long period of training, Ai Loli, who often plays training games with EDG's main players, does not have any obvious defects.
Leaving aside the emotional factors, the evaluation is: it is quite satisfactory, but lacks a little spirituality.
It's hard to point out which aspect is wrong.
However, after the jungle habits and GANK routes were studied, it was found that they could not withstand the pressure of the jungle king, and it was difficult to catch online players as stable as defensive towers.
Two aspects added together.
This makes Ai Loli the biggest weakness of the EDG team.
In this situation, even the factory manager can't do anything.
Because so-called spiritual operations are often accompanied by unpredictable high risks and must be decided by the players themselves.
Forcing unspiritual players to do 'spiritual' things will most likely produce negative effects.
"I'll take over in a couple of days."
After the meeting, the factory manager watched the video for a while and prepared to appear in person.
The first round of Western Conference competition has all ended.
Next week we will have a cross-division match between the East and the West.
EDG faced the RNG team, which was classified into the first tier during the grading stage.
Although RNG's current record is 2-4, which is worse than EDG's 4-2 and WE's 3-3, the reason is that the core player UZI did not appear on the court and it cannot represent the true level.
And just now.
RNG’s official Weibo account released a poster announcing that UZI has completed his recuperation and returned to the team.
Considering that the color of Ai Loli's underwear was clearly exposed, it would be difficult for her to resist whether facing the offensive jungler MLXG or the map-controlling jungler Karsa.
And February 5th is EDG's last game before the New Year, which is equivalent to the e-sports Spring Festival Gala for the audience.
After resting for one-third of the regular season, the factory manager decided to go into battle and show everyone his classic level 2 gank.
…
"Hello, summoners, welcome to the 2018 League of Legends Professional League, Spring Season."
"We are bringing you the home games at Shanghai Super Brand Mall."
"First of all, I wish everyone a happy new year."
"——Happy New Year, everyone!"
The "Haier Brothers" Wawa and Miller appeared in front of the camera wearing bright red Tang suits embroidered with two golden dragons.
After reading the advertisements from sponsors and partner platforms, move on to the next stage.
Compared with 2017.
The 2018 LPL added a weekly segment for selecting the best players.
Last week's best players were Xing Dao in the top lane, Ning from IG in the jungle, Rookie from IG in the mid lane, Shuijing Ge from Snake team as AD, and Meiko as support.
Next.
The rankings of each major region are also displayed.
LCK was led by the three K teams consisting of KZ, KT, and KSV, all of which achieved a record of 5-1. KZ ranked first because of its higher number of small-game wins. The galaxy battleship KT formed by Pawn+Deft+Mata and KSV tied for second place.
The fourth is AFS where Scout is.
SKT, which won the runner-up in S7, had big problems in the spring season.
Currently it is 1-5.
Ranked second from the bottom in LCK.
There is only a small point gap between them and the last place.
In North America, C9, FOX, and TL have the same points and have only lost one game each. The well-capitalized 100T follows closely behind, followed by the two veteran powerhouses CLG and TSM.
The results are similar in Europe, with well-known strong teams like FNC and G2 both having a 3-3 record and ranking in the middle of the league.
Let’s turn back to LPL.
In the Western Conference, Snake topped the list with a record of 5-1, while EDG and BLG both had a record of 4-2.
In the Eastern Conference, IG has won all the games except for one loss to RNG. Following are RW and JDG with 4-2, and SNG and LGD with 3-3.
"As I said before, after last week's games, the first round is all over."
"IG and Snake took the first place on both sides respectively."
"From today, we will enter 7 games of cross-group competition. Who is stronger in the West or the East? This long-debated topic will finally be decided!"
Miller said this.
Wawa suddenly caught the key words: "How many games did you say just now?"
"What several games?" Miller didn't respond.
"How many matches between different groups?" Wawa continued to guide.
"Oh——" Miller suddenly realized and emphasized: "7 games!"
"Yes, that mysterious number 7!" Wawa laughed, "So today, the name of the factory manager appeared in EDG's starting lineup, and RNG has officially announced before that UZI will return to the game!"
“This game is great!”
