"You can win with this?"
"We can win this!!"
"Oh my god, this time Abyss is really going crazy. Why does he always do more than other ADs?"
In the early stage, LPL viewers were almost fed up with it.
The rhythm of the mid and jungle was completely controlled by SKT. Faker was like a god of war, ganking the top and bottom lanes, and the rhythm never stopped.
Subconsciously, many viewers recalled the painful memories of S5 and S6, and masks of pain appeared on their faces.
This is SKT.
Even though we can beat them sometimes, they always perform at a high level in big competitions, which makes people despair!
But obviously, Xu Yuan doesn't think so.
Can’t beat the midfielder?
Then don’t play mid or jungle, let me set the pace myself.
He doesn't need his teammates to help him, he just needs his teammates to give him the possibility to carry.
As long as there is a chance, as long as teammates can hold back the opponent.
Then, he will seize the opportunity himself.
Xu Yuan’s AD thinking is completely different from that of his contemporaries today.
Nowadays, even Bang from SKT, when the team is at a disadvantage, can only think about developing steadily and waiting for opportunities.
And Xu Yuan has six years more understanding of this version than them!
This is his biggest cheat.
His understanding, which is nearly six years ahead of his time, lets him know exactly what AD should do when he is at a disadvantage.
No rhythm? Just catch it yourself.
No chance? Then take the initiative to force the opponent to make a mistake!
You won't give? I'll take it myself.
Even if the sea doesn’t welcome me, I will come here on my own!
Xu Yuan doesn’t think he is that great. This is what the C position and the core should do, isn’t it?
Even if you want to blame your teammates, you should say it during the review.
In the middle of a game?
Do you still want to win?
In the SSG lounge, the SSG coach already looked very serious.
"EDG..."
He whispered, muttering EDG's name.
But then he shook his head and read out Xu Yuan's ID.
"No, Savior..."
In his judgment, EDG is not actually a top team, at best it can only be considered first-rate.
Excluding the monster rookie Savior in the bottom lane, they are at best at the level of the top eight or top sixteen in the world championship.
If they change the AD, EDG might not even be able to qualify now.
Unfortunately, it cannot be changed.
Although EDG's strength is just so-so, but...
Let them have Savior!
This is the most outrageous thing that the SSG coach thinks.
ADCs of Savior's level are not cabbages that can be bought easily on the street.
But I heard that Savior was found by EDG’s youth training coach at that time.
It's that simple.
Even as the SSG coach, he couldn't help but want to curse when he heard the news.
Damn it!
How unlucky is EDG?
It's really too exaggerated to say that just recruiting anyone can turn out to be a top player.
How did Lee Sang-hyuk join SKT?
kkoma communicated with him patiently for a month and offered various conditions, which made Li Xianghe, who was still a small anchor at the time, give up his live broadcast career and join SKT.
As for other top players, they were basically discovered only after they had achieved good results. Even their own Master An was not in SSG at the beginning, but in Azubu Blaze.
What attracted SSG to An Zhangmen was his outstanding performance in the 2013 Shanghai All-Star Game. This All-Star Game won the third spot in the S3 World Championship for LCK, which was still OGN at the time.
[Trivia: In S3, Azubu accepted investment from the CJ consortium and changed its name to CJ Entus Blaze, or CJB for short. But in the end, CJB was ruthlessly swept by Samsung Blue in the S3 qualifiers. The third spot that An had earned himself ended up going to Samsung Blue. It was really funny.]
Looking at the core players of each major team, all of them were purchased after they achieved good results, and very few were trained by themselves.
and……
EDG didn’t even train Savior!
The SSG coach is well aware that the club can be helpful to the players' growth.
But no matter how much help we provide, the most we can do is to help the players explore their potential as much as possible.
You have no potential, what's the point of finding a hook?
No one can help players raise their ceiling.
Besides, can EDG's training and competition be as strong as our LCK? SSG coach really doesn't think so.
This is really far ahead.
Therefore, no matter which club Savior goes to, he will gradually grow into a monster that is so exaggerated that he almost crushes the previous world champion AD.
The only difference is the speed.
That's why the SSG coach is envious and jealous.
Damn, EDG’s luck!
"Brother, do you think... EDG has also figured out this version, and their tactical thinking is similar to ours?"
Just when the SSG coach was gritting his teeth in anger, the assistant coach spoke with some concern.
He felt something was wrong.
EDG had too many vision arrangements when playing against SKT today.
This was... originally the tactic they were going to use to trick SKT.
SSG's coaching team is excellent.
In such a short period of time, I have already understood the essence of this S game.
They are extremely confident in their tactics.
How confident are you?
SSG felt that they could easily beat SKT 3-0 in the knockout round.
Yes, three to zero!
An important component of this tactic is vision suppression.
EDG's vision was too much today, which made the assistant coach a little wary.
Could it be that they also understand me?
However, the SSG coach laughed.
"How is it possible? With EDG's ability, how could they make it to the quarterfinals or top 16 in S6?"
What a joke. If EDG can read the version like this, he will just eat it.
LPL is a "top" league where people can choose Brand against Iron Man.
Who can understand such a competition area?
Is the knockout system that SSG has now something that EDG can have?
Can you have such understanding? Let me ask you!
"Is it possible? Savior is a player with a lot of creative ideas. You know, he also developed the incense burner. We all know that, don't we, brother?"
The assistant coach looked at the SSG coach who was laughing at him and spoke hesitantly.
“Hahahaha – huh?”
The SSG coach's laughter suddenly stopped, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
"You're right, it's possible."
After thinking about it, he had to nod.
How could someone who could develop the incense burner version single-handedly not understand?
"Keep working on tactics and think about how to counter."
The SSG coach said in a deep voice.
At this point, history quietly took a turn.
Because of their importance to Xu Yuan, SSG began to pay more attention to EDG.
After realizing that EDG might have also taken control of their vision tactics, SSG began to think about how to counterattack.
This is the reality, no one remains unchanged.
Even when SKT played against EDG, they changed their tactics more than once.
SSG's foundation is there, and its powerful version analysis capabilities allow them to begin evolving again.
The butterfly effect has begun!
After shaking hands, Xu Yuan returned to the lounge.
As usual, he received a round of praise from Abu.
At this moment, Abu was like Tam who had triggered a fatal rhythm and started licking wildly!
Xu Yuan felt embarrassed.
Look at you, why do you keep praising me just because you won a competition?
How can I make progress if you praise me like this!
If I don’t improve, how can EDG improve?
You are destroying my moral integrity!
Walking out of the venue, a large group of fans were looking forward to it.
When they saw Xu Yuan walking out of the aisle with a shoulder bag on his back, they immediately started cheering.
"Yuan Bao!!! You are so handsome today!!!"
"Wow wow wow my Yuanbao!!!"
"Yuanbao, go back and eat well today, don't be picky about food!!"
To be honest, most people would feel a little embarrassed if strangers said such things to them, even if they are fans.
But Xu Yuan is really different.
What kept him going for ten years in his previous life was his League of Legends and optimism.
Pure social phobia.
"Is my game okay today?"
He laughed and asked the fans directly with a somewhat cocky expression.
This instantly caused another round of cheers from fans.
"Can!!"
They thought that Xu Yuan would at most just keep smiling and walk silently to the bus, and would not interact with them.
After all, many of Xu Yuan’s fans are regular members of the fan circle.
The male idols I used to be fans of were all more arrogant than the other.
Who would care about ordinary fans?
But Xu Yuan can.
Because he was just a fan before, he naturally knew that even if you said a word to a fan, she and he would remember your kindness.
He is still willing to do this kind of business behavior.
He interacted with the fans and told them to go back and rest early.
Xu Yuan is very sweet-talker.
Men call each other brothers and women call each other sisters.
Seeing their favorite contestant talking to them so kindly, most people are willing to listen.
What's more, Xu Yuan is so popular and his fighting skills are so good.
For example, you meet theshy on the street.
He takes photos with you, puts his arm around you, and talks and laughs with you.
Even if you may have been the most authentic water lover yesterday, shouting "big pier" on the forum.
After taking this photo, you will probably become a fan of Chunchun.
After waving his hand, Xu Yuan walked onto the bus.
With the start of the bus, it is usually time to start a simple review.
"Scout."
Abu's voice sounded.
"What's wrong with you?"
…
While EDG was reviewing the game, major forums were already discussing it like crazy.
I won’t say much about those who praise EDG, but why can’t we praise the fact that they defeated SKT 2-0 and qualified with all wins?
A very interesting post also appeared on the Korean Internet.
The name of the post is [United against the outside world! ]
The fifteenth day of the summer:
"Stand united against the outside world!"
"SSG, LZ [smiling big nose], RNG and WE, our four teams must display the Olympic spirit, eight into four, SSG and LZ, one is the sword stabbing EDG, the other is the shield defending EDG!"
"The pigs are too ferocious. If we want to defeat the aggressive E bastards, we must unite!"
"We must fight against Yi Yezhong! [E Bastard]"
The illustrations are also outrageous.
The head is a smiling expression with big nostrils.
The body is the logo of SKT.
In the left hand is a shield with the SSG team logo, and in the right hand is a long sword with the LZ team logo.
The left foot is WE and the right foot is RNG.
There is another line of words below: [At this moment, we are different in body but the same in heart! ]
It can only be described in an abstract way.
Why do people on the Korean Internet speak in a way that sounds like a forum post?
Because Faker Bar is a Korean website!
The following replies are also ridiculously strong.
Honest man: "Indeed, the pigs are too rampant, and they must be ruthlessly slaughtered!"
Xing Yuhao: "No, let's not talk about anything else. How can RNG resist EDG? It's useless in my opinion."
Zuo Qi: "Everything EDG did well in was good, RNG is rubbish so let them be rubbish. After all, they are our SKT's biological sons, and it's not easy to show filial piety to them every year."
Carbon Roasted Moon: "I'm just a passerby. How many times has Tadpole lost to EDG this year?"
Kong Cheng: "Haha, the tadpoles are starting again? Do you believe that EDG will beat you into human pigs in two days?"
National Class I Protected Waste: "I saw this on the homepage. You guys are such a bunch of bastards. When EDG plays against SKT, are you guys cheering for LCK?"
Xinghe replied to the national first-class protected waste: "What, you want to revoke your nationality again?"
Xiaotangren loves to take a bath: "Can they really resist? I feel like SKT is just a bunch of losers if they can't beat other LCK teams."
1376: “Trust in Faker!”
There is no club without black fans at any time, and EDG naturally has a lot of black fans.
Seeing that EDG seemed to be really strong this year, they immediately chose to join the SKT fans.
And EDG was also called E Yezhong to highlight an abstraction.
They were united against the outside world, and it turned out that EDG was right.
Top ideas.
But this is actually normal.
Take the slogan that is shouted every year: "Unity toward the outside world."
In fact, was there any year when we were truly united against the outside world?
Seeing a club you don’t like win the championship is really more painful than seeing LCK win the championship.
I would rather give it to LCK than to the opponent!
There is a lot of heated discussion online.
And it was in this situation that, with the end of the match between EDG and SKT, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals began.
The four teams are now as follows:
Group leaders: Group A EDG, Group B LZ, Group C SSG, Group D RNG
Second place in the group: SKT in Group A, FNC in Group B, WE in Group C, MSF in Group D
Xu Yuan and his teammates sat in EDG's temporary lounge, ignoring the cameras beside them and staring intently at the screen.
"Welcome to the draw ceremony for the knockout . Hello everyone, I am Ren Dong!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Shuang!"
With the opening performances of Immortal Grasp Ren Dong and Aftershock, the draw for the knockout round officially began.
"Yes, then of the 24 teams that once dreamed of winning the championship, only eight teams remain. Let's welcome them together."
"The first teams to appear are the teams that qualified from the group stage after winning first place: EDG, LZ, SSG, RNG!"
Ren Dong's professional ability is still very good, and his tone is calm and neither hurried nor slow.
Not all the players from every team that enters the knockout stage will go on stage this time. Instead, each team will send one player to the stage, and usually this person is a support.
So the player representing EDG this time is naturally the support Meiko.
EDG's support Meiko.
Gorilla, the support of LZ team.
SSG's auxiliary corejj.
As for RNG?
Of course it was... Youzei Ai who was smiling shyly and blushing.
Generally speaking, it is an auxiliary, but it doesn't necessarily have to be an auxiliary.
The FNC player is still the mid laner, and the young Caps is smiling brightly.
So there’s no need to criticize Uzi for liking to be in the spotlight.
As the representative players of the second seed pool of the group stage appeared, the rules of the draw began to appear on the big screen:
1. The four teams that finished first in the group stage will face the other four teams that finished second in the group stage.
2. Two teams that qualify from the group stage must not be placed in the same half.
3. Additional explanation: The first rule is to ensure the priority of the team that advances first in the group, and the second rule is to prevent two teams in the same group in the group stage from meeting each other in advance before the finals.
After briefly introducing the lottery rules, Ren Dong spoke with a smile.
"Next, let us invite today's guest for the lottery!"
"The mid laner from OMG team, Icon!"
Leng Shao, with neatly dressed and hair combed, walked out with a smile on his face.
He looks really handsome in what he's wearing today.
The main thing is that all his clothes cost almost 260,000 yuan, so it's hard not to look handsome.
"Fuck, Master Leng! So handsome!"
"Xie Tianyu's outfit today is really cool, but it looks so expensive!"
“Love it, love it!”
The audience's reaction was still very enthusiastic. At least Leng Shao's performance brought honor to the LPL players.
Leng Shao smiled and, following Ren Dong's instructions, reached into the No. 1 seed pool and spun the ball.
After a few rounds, he took out the first small ball.
After opening it, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he held the note towards the camera.
Suddenly appeared on it...the EDG team logo!
"Okay, the first team in the upper half has been confirmed. It's the No. 1 seed team from our LPL, who successfully won first place in the group..."
"EDG!"
Ren Dong didn't expect that the first shot would directly bring out EDG, the team that LPL viewers paid the most attention to.
But it’s a good thing. I know who it is sooner so I don’t have to worry so much.
"Here we go! EDG is in the upper half, RNG should not be in the upper half!"
"Give RNG a chance to win against WE. I beg you! We may not win against the Korean team, but at least we have a chance against WE!"
"I am also a bastard. I just want to watch RNG play against the Korean team!"
"Indeed, can you please stop messing with us, the Royal Zha? We, the Royal Zha, don't accept all the trash. If you are either a Korean Zha or Godzilla, get out of here!"
"If EDG is in the same half as RNG and then eliminates RNG, and then gives the championship to the Koreans, I will blacken EDG for the rest of my life!"
"EDG is the god of civil war. They should be looking forward to drawing WE at this moment, right?"
Daily civil war in barrage.
This is also a reserved program.
After all... do you want the pigs and the emperor to not attack each other?
That's impossible.
Leng Shao reached out his hand again and picked up a small ball.
The moment he opened it, he smiled.
"SSG!"
When Ren Dong saw the note, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
fine!
Fortunately, Mr. Leng’s luck is fine!
If RNG really gets drawn into the EDG half zone, it would be a bit uncomfortable.
What is the most feared situation for LPL in today's draw?
EDG will draw WE in the quarterfinals, and will be in the same half zone as RNG.
Then EDG and RNG advanced to the semi-finals. EDG defeated RNG again and advanced to the finals.
Then EDG showed filial piety to the Koreans in the finals, and after the game it was all "Savior tried his best but couldn't carry."
This is the most fantasy episode about civil war, and the most kneeling episode to show respect to one's father!
This is the most disgusting episode, and also the one that LPL fears the most!
It's not just the audience that's afraid of this.
Even EDG players except Xu Yuan are a little afraid of this.
If this situation really happened, they couldn't imagine how badly they would be scolded.
But Xu Yuan is really not afraid.
It’s a civil war, isn’t it enough as long as we win in the end?
If EDG beats WE, beats RNG, and then beats the Korean team in the final, they will win the championship.
Will anyone scold EDG?
At most, it's just a bit of jealousy, "If we beat EDG, we would probably win the championship."
You definitely don't dare to curse. Why do you curse when someone wins the championship?
You curse a lot!
So Xu Yuan really doesn’t have this kind of psychological pressure.
If we beat a team from the same division, it’s not a crime as long as we win the championship?
Then take it!
After the two teams in the upper half were determined, the two teams in the lower half were naturally determined as well.
EDG and SSG are in the upper half, while LZ and RNG are in the lower half.
The second round of draw is approaching.
Leng Shao didn't waste any time and grabbed a small ball from the second seed pool without much hesitation.
As long as this small ball is not SKT, then it will be EDG's opponent in the quarterfinals.
The moment he opened it, he immediately smiled.
Leng Shao's expression was a bit tense.
On the piece of paper he held up, the name of the company was SKT!
SKT fans were shocked. Am I awesome?
Do we have to play against EDG again?
But suddenly I remembered that the opponents in the group stage cannot be in the same half, and I immediately became happy again.
This will be postponed!
No need to fight EDG!
etc……
Postpone?
They looked at the first team in the lower half, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became a little strange.
That is...LZ!
"Ah! We got SKT here. Since EDG is in the top half, SKT needs to be postponed, so they have to go to the bottom half."
Ren Dong held back his laughter.
"The opponent they are about to face is——"
"Team LZ!"
Good news: No need to play against EDG!
Bad news: Damn, civil war!
SKT fans’ eyes suddenly turned dark.
Although they really don't want to play against EDG.
But compared to the Civil War...
I feel like it’s better to play against EDG!
At least we can still believe in BO5, right?
Although SKT has never won the BO5 against EDG this year.
But no matter how reluctant they were, the draw results had already been determined.
So they can only rage helplessly.
"Shady deal! Shady deal! Shady deal!"
"Despicable CN!"
"Hot and cold ball! Hot and cold ball! Hot and cold ball!"
Next, Leng Shao drew MSF in the second hand, letting EDG play against MSF, which further intensified their suspicion.
Even the LPL audience is no longer confident.
Could it be that there is really something shady going on with us?
Fortunately, after Leng Shao drew FNC in the third round, the Koreans calmed down.
Because after the third hand is drawn, the fourth hand has been determined.
The draw results are out!
Upper half:
EDG vs. MSF
SSG vs. FNC
Lower half:
LZ vs SKT
RNG vs. WE!
This is why Koreans stop barking.
Because of LPL, there was also a civil war.
Although EDG drew MSF, a seemingly weak team, SSG also drew FNC.
In each division, there is a team that looks capable of bullying weak opponents, and there are also two teams that want to fight a civil war.
That's okay, CN this is still fair!
"MSF... Is this the team you told me to pay attention to?"
Mingkai touched his chin and asked Xu Yuan who was standing beside him.
Xu Yuan nodded seriously.
"Brother Boo!"
He shouted.
Abu, who was sitting behind him, immediately leaned over and looked like he was listening.
"MSF, this team is not very good at reading the meta, but because of this, they also have a lineup that can play against the current version of the Censer system."
"Can the incense burner be restrained?"
Abu was really a little surprised.
Xu Yuan thought about it and shook his head.
"No, but their system can put a lot of pressure on the incense burner system!"
Abu became interested and nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll study their game right away!"
Xu Yuan nodded and stopped talking.
Sorry, MSF.
For MSF, they were supposed to meet SKT and almost get crushed by SKT.
This is naturally something to celebrate and be proud of.
But now, its opponent has become EDG.
As for EDG, they have Xu Yuan, who knows exactly what secret weapons they will bring out.
This time, MSF is destined not to be as amazing as before.
Xu Yuan silently said sorry in his heart.
but……
To win, you still have to win.
It's a bit shameful to win the game with a message that transcends time.
But it’s useful!
