Volume 2 Chapter 103 He’s here, he’s right here!
“They adjusted.”
There was silence in the EDG lounge.
Abu rubbed his forehead irritably, frowned, and frantically looked for a solution.
SKT did not make any mistakes at all because of the loss in the first game. They possessed extremely terrifying resilience. Even though they were beaten so badly by EDG in the first game, they were still able to maintain a very high level.
kkoma immediately adjusted his tactics in the second game and won the victory in a head-on battle with EDG.
In the third game, they directly and steadily chose a late-game lineup, relying on Lee Sang-hyeok's Clockwork to destroy EDG in a team battle.
Even a coach with a good attitude like Abramovich felt a little discouraged.
Even the last move he prepared...was it so easily resolved by SKT?
So today we...
Can we still win?
Abu has lost confidence.
This is basically the situation for other people as well.
A Guang lowered his head slightly, not knowing what to say, and stood blankly in the corner.
Mingkai sat on a chair in the room with a somewhat empty look in his eyes. He unconsciously grabbed the back of the chair and looked up at the soft fluorescent light on the ceiling.
Meiko pushed her glasses up, lowered her head, and her expression was buried in her hair.
Even Scout, who was usually arrogant, had a look of helplessness on his face.
He stood at the door, looking at the big screen on the stage outside from afar.
Without saying a word.
The clock hanging in the room was ticking.
The quiet EDG was lifeless.
The only exception was Xu Yuan, who still stood straight with a calm expression.
It wasn't until the Riot staff announced that they were about to go on stage that the EDG players woke up from their dreams.
"Come here, let's discuss the next strategy..."
Abu slapped his face hard.
Force yourself to calm down.
Even if you feel that hope is slim, you still have to face it.
Now that we are about to go on stage, we can only take advantage of this last period of time to find a chance of winning.
This is the only thing Abu can do.
The resilience shown by SKT in the second and third games really made him feel desperate.
Can such a powerful team really be defeated by humans?
At this time, many people in the LPL barrage had the same idea as him.
SKT... is just too strong.
They are not simply strong in rhythm, nor are they simply strong in teamfights.
Their strength is all-round!
Even though the rhythm collapsed in the first game, he still dared to join the team and maintained his mentality.
The counterattack was completed immediately in the second and third rounds!
How can such a team win?
Not only EDG, but even the audience were really feeling hopeless.
"SKT is too strong... Their ability to adjust is really outrageous... Is this SKT's BO5?"
"I can't figure out how to win. Who can lead EDG to win?"
"Yeah... Although the mid and jungle were not at a disadvantage in these two games, SKT's late-game teamfights were still strong enough that EDG couldn't even defeat them in a teamfight. What should we do?"
"Forget it, forget it. I won't watch it anymore. Winning once is enough. It's really enough."
This is how audiences are reacting now.
The pressure from SKT is so great!
Even the pig, who was originally smiling happily, was now completely exhausted.
"Ouch, why is EDG suddenly not hot anymore?"
"What should we do? Can anyone come forward?"
"Oh, my heart can't take it anymore."
In contrast, the Korean audiences are naturally relieved.
"I was shocked. Fortunately, SKT held on. Our hard power is still stronger!"
"EDG played really well in the first game. I admit that they are qualified to be SKT's enemy, but that's all."
"This is SKT! Where are you guys? Why aren't you talking? Have you become mute after seeing your LPL team get beaten like this?"
"kkk, we're on Samsung and the score is already 3-0."
"You Samsung bastards really make me laugh. EDG can beat you Samsung 3-0. Do you believe it? zzz"
"Stop arguing and wait for SKT to defeat EDG 3-1!"
"I already recognize EDG for winning against SKT. They might have the best performance in LPL in this year's S League, right? Can they make it to the quarterfinals? kkkkk"
The Korean audience immediately started opening champagne.
How to lose this?
EDG is now a little depressed after being beaten!
"Keep the pace steady and don't get carried away."
"We will definitely win the team battle in the later stages."
"I will continue to restrict Savior. As long as he is not the carry, it will be useless even if EDG wants to control the early game rhythm. As long as we control the line, we will be invincible!"
In the SKT lounge, kkoma spoke calmly.
There was a sense of victory in his eyes.
Wolf, who was originally a little nervous, also laughed at this time.
"They should be proud enough, right? They can force us to use our full strength."
"EDG, that's it."
But Wolf noticed that Bang's face remained serious.
He couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Jun-sik, what's the problem?"
Bang's real name is Bae Joon-sik.
"I always feel that EDG won't be that simple."
Bang turned his head and spoke seriously.
"Mo?"
Wolf looked ridiculous.
"Didn't we easily defeat them in the second and third rounds? Their morale should be broken by now, right? An opponent like that is not worth taking seriously."
"Yes."
Bang didn't refute and nodded slightly.
"but……"
"EDG's morale may have collapsed, but one person's will will never collapse!"
He looked serious.
"It's him I'm worried about!"
After he said this, SKT's lounge suddenly became quiet.
"Savior...huh?"
Li Xianghe recited the ID and nodded without hesitation.
"right!"
"His will will certainly not break."
Bang nodded immediately.
"Based on my understanding of him, he will perform more exaggeratedly at this time."
"This player has terrifying determination and perseverance that other LPL players absolutely do not have, and also has extraordinary faith!"
"He is the one we should care about the most."
Although Bang didn't have much communication with Xu Yuan, as they were both top ADCs, he could easily understand the purpose of Xu Yuan's playing style.
This is a player who will do anything to win.
He is also a player who is extremely eager for victory!
"If it were you, you wouldn't give up just like that, right?"
Bang thought so .
He was originally tired of League of Legends, but suddenly he became more interested and motivated.
Xu Yuan is really an extraordinary player.
I……
I really want to beat you!
Savior!
What would you do if you were in a desperate situation?
Should I give up, or... fight hard?
"No need to discuss tactics."
In the originally quiet EDG lounge, Xu Yuan clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.
There was no other emotion on his face except calmness.
"We've discussed this many times, and I guess no one is in the mood to listen now."
Under everyone's gaze, he spoke calmly.
This is a fact. We have made today's tactical arrangements many times, and doing it once more won't have much effect.
In fact, EDG's biggest problem now is that the teammates' fighting spirit has become somewhat weakened.
So, Xu Yuan decided to do something.
“SKT is really strong!”
"So strong that it's scary!"
"They are so strong that everyone thinks they are the final champions!"
"They are so strong that we don't even have the confidence to beat them!"
"It's so strong that it almost silenced us!"
His face was calm, but his voice was getting louder and louder.
The bloody reality is directly placed in front of everyone.
"Why don't you give up this time? Try to win again in the S-League?"
“Someone should think so, right?”
There was no sarcasm in his tone, it was just like a statement.
"But what if we lose the S game? What if this is our last chance?"
The handsome boy calmly spoke the cruelest truth.
Xu Yuan looked around and looked at his teammates who had stood up unconsciously.
His eyes burned with a desire for victory.
"We will never surrender."
He said this in an unquestionable tone.
Xu Yuan raised his left hand and swung it downward fiercely, cutting through the air.
He looked at his teammates firmly and seriously.
"We need someone like this!"
"A person who has the determination to defeat LCK!"
"A man who has the courage to crush the bones of his enemies into dust!"
He looked at his teammates in front of him who had somewhat moved expressions, suddenly raised his left hand, and spoke in a decisive and almost certain voice.
"He's here."
"He's standing right here!"
In the empty lounge, only Xu Yuan's powerful words echoed.
Xu Yuan slowly turned around and walked towards the door of the lounge.
He stopped at the door and spoke calmly.
"Put your hope on me, and play four to protect one."
"If I lose..."
"All responsibility lies with me alone."
"I will explain it in the post-match interview."
He paused.
"I will never surrender."
The moment you walk out of the locker room, the player passage is in front of you.
Amid the audience’s enthusiastic cheers and flashing glow sticks.
With a calm expression, Xu Yuan stepped onto the stairs to the stage one step at a time and slowly walked towards the stage.
Amid the cheers from all over the sky, the young man took up his sword and traveled to the end of the world.
And I don't know when, behind him.
Teammates and coaches have already caught up.
There was no smile on A Guang's face, only visible determination.
Scout caught up with Xu Yuan in silence.
"Don't treat me like a coward."
Mingkai smiled again.
"I won't give up either."
Meiko followed Xu Yuan closely, her eyes full of seriousness and concentration.
Abu looked at the team in front of him and laughed unconsciously.
"You are really something... Xu Yuan."
"Even I am a little excited."
EDG, take the stage.
The players from both sides are in their positions again, and the fourth game of the final BO5 begins!
Without any change, kkoma still chose to move five ADs to limit Xu Yuan 's performance.
This time, Xu Yuan took out Big Mouth Lulu.
Scout in the middle lane was the first to pick out Karma.
Ueno chose Prince and Galio.
SKT still chose the top, mid and jungle which are strong in this version.
Kennen, Graves, Syndra.
The bottom lane team took out Lucian and Braum, intending to make it impossible for Xu Yuan to play from the beginning of the laning phase.
"Just keep me safe."
Xu Yuan did not give too many instructions. At this moment, he was extremely serious.
Mingkai nodded seriously.
"good!"
"EDG's lineup here is four protecting one... all the carry pressure is on Savior alone, this..."
Miller frowned.
How much pressure does this put on AD?
This is a BO5 where SKT has already got the match point!
Under such heavy pressure, it is unknown whether Savior can withstand it.
As the core of the four-protecting-one team, if Savior makes a mistake, it almost means the end of the game.
If everyone puts all their hopes on one person...
For this person, can he really withstand it?
"It's over. Four protecting one. They can't handle SKT's solo lane, right?"
"Why did EDG only think of playing 4-protect-1 in the last game? Wouldn't it have been over if they had played like this earlier?"
"Can Yuanshen hold on? It takes courage Even Uzi couldn't win."
"Believe in Yuan Shen! EDG must have communicated with each other. Since Yuan Shen has taken it out, he must be confident that he can win!"
There are more and more people on the barrage .
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this game really depends on Xu Yuan's performance.
If he performs well, then everyone will naturally praise him after he wins.
But if he plays badly...
Then the blame for losing MSI will most likely be focused on him, making Xu Yuan the so-called SKT fermented bean curd.
"Yuanzi, you are really calm!"
In LGD’s live broadcast room, Pu Pu couldn’t help but sigh.
"I'm telling you, right now, in the fourth game, with this kind of pressure, if it were me, I wouldn't even dare to play this four-protect-one situation. SKT's mid and jungle are too strong, and it's going to be very difficult for EDG to play against. We can easily lose this game."
"Unless Yuanzi's big mouth survives this one shot and nothing goes wrong."
"Otherwise, if he dies once, the game will be over."
"It's easy for Syndra to kill Kog'Maw once she develops!"
As a good friend, Pu Pu couldn't help but worry for Xu Yuan.
If he loses this game, no matter how good he plays, people will still scold him.
If you get C but don't win, it's the same as not getting C.
This is esports.
At least this time, Pu Pu felt that if he were to go up to fight, he would easily die suddenly.
Many other LPL players who were watching the final also had frowns on their faces.
Can Xu Yuan really withstand this pressure?
You know, he is not a veteran ADC!
This is only his first year, and it is also his first time entering MSI.
To have achieved such an achievement at this age, one can already say that there is a promising future ahead.
However, the current EDG still needs this ADC who has just been on the field for about three months at most.
Be the one who saves the world.
Can he do it?
Xu Yuan was quietly waiting for the game to begin, but there was no impatience or anxiety on his face.
He just smiled slightly and comforted his teammates.
"Just play well. Didn't we win the first game?"
“Just trust me on this one.”
He didn't put any pressure on his teammates.
"Go, brothers."
"Do you remember what I said before? Uzi on the opposite side? It's okay, I'm Xu Yuan."
He paused, with only confidence in his bright eyes.
“It’s the same now.”
"The opposing SKT?"
"fine."
"I am Xu Yuan."
