Chapter 486: Not Losing, But Winning
"Hello everyone, welcome to the post-match interview. I am the host Xiaoyu."
Xiaoyu has big wavy hair and wears a light-colored dress. She has a bright smile on her face. "The players we invited this time are EDG's top laner General and jungler Zz1tai. Let's say hello to everyone first!"
"Hello everyone, I am Clearlove7."
"Hello everyone, I'm General."
As the top and jungle players with the highest performance and popularity in LPL, Xing Dao and Zzai Zhang triggered waves of cheers from the audience as soon as they opened their mouths.
It lasted for more than ten seconds before calming down.
"General and the factory manager are really popular with everyone."
Xiaoyu didn't expect the atmosphere to be so warm: " First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning the Spring Finals and going to MSI again as the champion. Is there anything you want to say now?"
"Well... just try your best to play well in every game and live up to everyone's expectations." The factory manager was more serious.
"I will prove who is the world's number one jungler." Xing Dao followed closely and repeated the original sentence.
The words haven't even been spoken yet.
A murderous look came from the side.
“Hahahahahahahaha—”
“Hahahahahaha—”
"Hardly blackmailing 48 in person?"
"I will suffer from your dark history for the rest of my life."
"You can't hide the look in your eyes when you want to stab someone."
"Brother Jie is the biggest hater of the factory director. Isn't there anyone who doesn't know that?"
“…”
The barrage is more cheerful.
"Uh... okay!"
Xiaoyu moved on to the next question: "Today when we had the match point, RNG caught up with us, and then you made changes. What did you discuss at that time?"
"Actually, there was nothing to discuss." The factory manager replied: "R NG went to gank the bottom lane, so we changed the lineup to protect the bottom lane, but we didn't expect that the top lane would be penetrated..."
"In other words, Ornn's good performance was an accident?" Xiaoyu asked.
"It was an accident. I originally wanted to let the top lane go, but I didn't expect he could use Ornn to beat Shen." The factory manager said seriously.
That's what I said.
I don’t know if anyone dares to believe it…
Not to mention the players and logistics staff of other teams.
Even the audience had a clear expression of "just listen seriously for now" on their faces.
"I want to ask General, he had never picked Ornn in an official match before, but in the finals, especially when he was one point behind, he picked Ornn and played very well, how did he do it?"
Xiaoyu was curious: "If we lose this game, we will enter the final round. Why are we so confident?"
"It's not difficult to train Ornn in a season." Xing Dao joked, and said something useful: "Of course, another reason is that I saw Letme didn't use Ornn to attack. According to this logic, he naturally wouldn't be very good at defending Ornn's attack."
This is the same as when a guy with unique skills in Rank has his favorite hero taken away from him and can just pick a random tank to get by.
If you thoroughly understand a hero's offensive methods, it will not be difficult to defend.
On the contrary, if you don’t even know how to attack and have to rely on your primitive accumulation and instinct to deal with everything you see, it will be extremely difficult to maintain stability.
Letme's 'Equality for All' Ornn really has the feeling of being an iron shield in this era.
But from Xing Dao's perspective, he can find the vital point at a glance.
“So that’s how it is!”
Xiaoyu suddenly realized: "Finally, I want to ask, the finals of other regions have already ended early. For EDG, are there any opponents that they particularly value in this MSI?"
"In fact, we have studied our opponents in MSI before." Xing Dao answered before Factory Manager could: "It feels about the same. It's a 50-50 match. It's either a loss or a win. There is no third outcome."
"Studying the opponents of MSI..."
"It's so funny."
"Manners Manager: You?"
“When it comes to reading comprehension, you either lose or win.”
"Highlight the key points."
"Fuck, hide here!"
“…”
There was an immediate barrage of comments that sparked divergent thoughts.
Combined with EDG's historical performance and context, the outside world unanimously believes that this is the original version...
…
"EDG is still very strong this year!"
EU division champion AD Rekkles, nicknamed Ou Cheng, felt considerable pressure after watching four games.
With Universe Man Smile laying a solid foundation and Crazy Dog UZI carrying on the tradition, LPL has become known as a country that produces a lot of ADs.
On the contrary, in regions like Europe and North America, the core has always been the mid lane.
There is a lack of soil for cultivating top ADs.
Rekkles is the best player in Europe, but if he were put in LPL, he would probably be at the upper-middle level.
Not all of them can reach the top.
Therefore, no matter whether it is RNG or EDG that advances from the LPL region, no matter whether facing UZI or A Shui, Rekkles has no confidence of winning.
"It's okay, leave it to me!"
The new king of magic, Caps, chewed gum in his mouth, his face full of confidence: "Their mid laner was not good before, and now it's even worse. I can beat him."
"He's lucky. EDG had no one left to use after Scout pulled them aside, so they had to find someone to fill the gap." Jungler Broxah said nonchalantly.
"Yes, if we meet EDG, just play mid and jungle," support Hylissang suggested.
The top laner is the backbone.
AD is a later guarantee.
Both are correct.
However, when the economy is equal, the mid and jungle points are the positions where it is easiest to radiate advantages to other lanes.
The advantage in the top lane is just an advantage all the way.
With the advantage in the mid and jungle, it is easy to carry the bottom lane as well.
You can also better control the dragon resources.
not to mention……
"I can use a hook hero. JackeyLove is famous for his ability to connect with Q." Support Hylissang further expressed his thoughts.
"That makes sense!" Rekkles agreed: "If we stay calm and cooperate well, we still have a chance to beat EDG."
Hearing the heated discussion among teammates.
FNC top laner Bwipo was vaguely worried.
Obviously.
Playing mid and jungle and helping the bottom lane will definitely sacrifice the top lane.
Facing the world’s strongest General, can the top laner really hold up?
The top laners of other teams are facing similar problems. After all, it is a very unwise thing to fight with EDG in the top lane. The common choice is to temporarily avoid the limelight and find another way.
As for the actual combat effect, we will have to wait and see the official start of the competition.
EDG side.
I have started applying for a visa and am ready to fly to Europe.
The location of this year's MSI is very interesting. The qualifying and group stages will be held in Berlin, the capital of Germany, while the knockout stage will be held in Paris, France.
To put it another way, it's like fighting from Berlin to Paris...
I don't feel like I need to take it too seriously.
Just run and you win.
While waiting for the logistics staff to complete a series of procedures, the EDG team members stayed up all night and then headed to the airport.
Catch up on some sleep during the 15-hour flight and adjust to the jet lag as quickly as possible.
After landing at the 6.7 million square meter Schönefeld Airport, we took a car to the LCS studio to prepare for the next game.
