HHow many years?
LCK's dominance continues.
The invincible devil has become the wall of sighs for all those who dream of climbing to the top of the mountain.
He has been practicing virgin kung fu since he was young, and completely closed his heart to love after the only host he had a good impression of, Eun Jung, chose to retire.
His goal is so pure.
No matter what kind of difficulties he faced, he seemed unable to be defeated. He only had one sentence for those who came after him:
Please welcome the next talented mid laner!
And this kind of opponent is what EDG will face after defeating SSG.
Miller didn't know what the final outcome would be, but at least he was willing to believe Xu Yuan.
In all the years of LPL, there has never been such a dominant ADC.
First appearance, whether in the league or the world championship.
Just one word, hard!
The kind that is high and hard!
Will he be the dawn that LPL has been waiting for that can break the darkness?
Miller actually doesn't know.
But at least he was willing to believe it.
Just like Xu Yuan’s ID.
Savior, named Savior.
There were no bad rumors outside the court. Miller even heard that Xu Yuan once trained himself to the point of being hospitalized during the EDG Spring Game.
His rank record of over 3,000 on OPGG shows how hard he works.
His ID is also hung high on the Korean server's number one page.
If even a super newcomer like this can't break into this seemingly hopeless future, then when will the next chance come?
Miller didn't want to think so much!
He really didn't want to wait another year.
"…Savior is only one match away from becoming the first player after Uzi to make it directly to the finals in the year of his debut."
"EDG must not have any problems in this game!"
He murmured.
"EDG... make it to the finals."
Go challenge the big devil who defeated WE and advanced to the finals again!
"The last one, the last one! I hope this will be the last one of the day!"
"Take down SSG cleanly, EDG. I beg you!"
"Even though I'm a jerk, I can only . Kill EDG!"
"rush!!!"
In the barrage, the audience completely empathized with Miller's words.
The current LPL really makes people feel desperate.
How desperate is it?
The quarterfinals and semifinals all gave people the feeling of being "not bad".
After all, everyone knows that last year's S6 was the ugliest year.
In such an environment, a contestant who has debuted for less than a year already has a great chance to embark on the final journey.
Even the LPL audience who were most pessimistic about EDG couldn't help but have an idea at this moment:
What if?
What if... I can get to the fifth one?
Yes, they didn't even dare to imagine that they could win.
If you reach the fifth round, you will be considered successful.
But they don't know.
They were very worried about SKT, and they were already sweating profusely after watching today's game between SSG and EDG.
kkoma kept recording the key points he saw today in his tactical notebook, and fell into deep thought from time to time.
His eyes were serious and sweat was already oozing out of his forehead.
"fine……"
"Luckily we have SSG!"
kkoma couldn't help but feel fortunate.
This was his first thought.
EDG did not show their vision ability at all in the group stage, and faced with SSG's Grasshopper, they were unexpectedly skilled in targeting heroes like Grasshopper.
There is almost no room for the grasshopper to play.
This is SSG’s ultimate move!
This is something that SKT has never seen before.
kkoma's vision can clearly show how disgusting this grasshopper's choice is.
To be honest, even if he were to fight SSG, he might not be able to deal with this grasshopper.
Because no one would have thought that SSG had this skill.
However, EDG used its vision to suppress SSG and managed to restrain the Grasshopper.
The mid-jungle combination of Xin Zhao and Karma is definitely not a random choice!
kkoma did not mourn for SSG's impending defeat for a moment, and started to frantically analyze the BP of both sides today.
He knew very well that time might not be enough!
A tactic cannot be developed in a week.
However, he must at least make the team familiar with this tactic so that they will not be caught off guard when the time comes.
If it weren't for SSG's secret weapon, SKT would have thought of a team like EDG that charged so fiercely under the leadership of Xu Yuan. Can they still play with vision?
Unexpected.
"Please play a little more for us. We are all brothers from LCK, right?"
His fingers tapped on his notebook, his eyes so focused that he didn't want to look away from the screen for a moment, and he muttered to himself.
SSG, play well and try to defeat EDG as much as possible.
If SKT used the intelligence gained by SSG in the finals to win the S7 world championship, then SSG would have one-third of the credit for this championship.
As for LZ?
Stinky quarterfinals, just let it be.
Another place.
"Well done, well done!"
In the EDG lounge, Abu's voice couldn't help but tremble as he watched the players coming back one by one.
To put it simply: Damn, are we really going to make it to the finals?
Abu did tell Xu Yuan that he would lead EDG to the finals, but he didn't take it seriously at the time and almost forgot about it.
Because it's nothing more than encouragement and ridicule.
Bro, I'm kidding.
No, are you really going in?
Good, good, good!
"If we win one more game, will we be in the finals?"
Mingkai's voice couldn't help but become a little obscure.
He couldn't help but glance at the boy behind him who was quietly loosening his wrists.
At this moment, the handsome young man still had a calm expression, and gently loosened his aching wrist.
Damn it.
Xu Yuan thought.
"It would be great if I could take a shower during the S-League. I can just rub it twice during my break and my energy will be back in no time."
Although his condition is extremely good now.
But Xu Yuan is the kind of person who would feel like turning .
He was born with a fear of insufficient firepower!
Apart from anything else, he just wanted to max out his status and make the SSG base explode right now.
As for SSG being the original champions, it is unlikely that they were defeated 3-0?
joke.
How much has Xu Yuan done today?
Since I joined the team, I have been consciously taking over the command.
Little by little, it subtly influenced EDG's playing style and thinking, gradually making EDG into the team it is today.
SSG is undoubtedly EDG's biggest enemy in S7.
Xu Yuan started researching him a year ago!
This was not a fair duel.
I'm sorry, I opened it.
So after winning two games, Xu Yuan didn't feel excited at all.
This is what should be done, and he doesn't think there is anything to be proud of.
From the very beginning, he had a vision that went further than anyone else.
If EDG, who worked together to strengthen their weakest top laner, still couldn't kill SSG with the help of a future-oriented commander like him...
Instead it seems strange.
SSG will never be able to achieve the reality of defeating EDG!
But even so, Xu Yuan did not relax his vigilance against SSG.
Despise strategically and pay attention tactically.
These were the words of a great man whom he greatly respected.
He raised his head and saw Mingkai's affectionate gaze.
Xu Yuan's expression suddenly became strange.
"...Brother Kai?"
"Ah, huh?"
"I like pretty girls."
Xu Yuan spoke carefully, pausing on the word "female".
Mingkai was a little confused for a moment.
What does it have to do with me who you like?
I'm not stopping you from having a relationship. You are the absolute core of EDG now. If you really want to have a relationship, who dares to stop you?
At most, Abu could only give advice.
etc……
He noticed Xu Yuan's pause, his face suddenly darkened, and he turned into An Kai, staring at Xu Yuan with dead fish eyes.
"Your brother is getting fucking married, what are you thinking, little brat? I'm not gay!"
Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I'm not either."
Mingkai was so angry that he laughed, but he also knew that it was Xu Yuan who was trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"Okay, come over and discuss the next strategy. Let's try to get off work early today."
Abu clapped his hands and gathered the contestants together.
After laying out his general tactics, he suddenly turned around.
"Xu Yuan, what do you think?"
How do I watch? I watch standing up!
Xu Yuan thought to himself, I am not Yuan Fang, and Abu you are not Di Renjie.
He could totally see it.
In fact, Abu was also nervous.
Otherwise he wouldn't have said such a thing.
Actually, it's normal. After all, Abu probably never thought he could reach the finals this year.
"There is nothing wrong with the tactics."
Xu Yuan nodded and first affirmed Abu.
Then he spoke immediately.
"Why are you so nervous?"
He ignored the camera beside him and spoke to himself.
"SSG is just a part of the journey. Our destination is always the championship."
"If they really let us come back from 2-0 down to win 3-0, it's because we are not as skilled as them and we really don't deserve to enter the finals."
"Isn't it?"
He spoke bluntly.
"Having played here, we can proudly say that we are a strong contender for the championship."
"We're already 2-0, we beat them twice, why can't we beat them again?"
"They are the ones who should be nervous now!"
"They should be the ones who are afraid!"
He looked around and smiled.
"What were EDG's previous results in the World Championship?"
There was confidence and pride in the boy's eyes that almost overflowed.
“We have made history!”
"No matter what the result is, we must accept it calmly."
"Because we have exerted our best efforts, we can say that we have a clear conscience!"
He put away his smile and held out his hand.
"A new legend is waiting for us to establish."
"Its name is ..."
"EDG!"
Mingkai stretched out his hand and covered his hand without any hesitation.
"you're right."
To this day, Mingkai's trust in Xu Yuan is unimaginable for ordinary people.
One hand after another covered Xu Yuan's hand.
Xu Yuan looked at the faces of his teammates beside him and smiled again.
Then he turned serious again and suddenly shouted.
"EDG!"
“We will win!!!”
Accompanied by arms thrown high into the air.
At this moment, EDG's momentum has reached its peak!
Abu looked at the scene almost in amazement.
Again.
Xu Yuan seemed to be born with some kind of leadership ability, able to get the team excited in a short period of time.
Abu is absolutely certain that even if EDG is defeated 2-0 today, they will definitely be in a exhausted state.
What's more, with an EDG like this, there is no reason for them to lose!
Unless it suddenly rains and extinguishes the burning fighting spirit.
But how is that possible?
After a short break, players from both teams returned to the stage.
However, the SSG players all looked very depressed at this time.
Who can laugh when the other team gets only two points in a BO5?
Oh, there are some, but I won’t mention them here.
"Come on, SSG! Stop bringing shame to our Great Cold Nation!"
"SKT is waiting for you in the finals! Let's meet at the Bird's Nest!!"
"Ayisi, SSG is still the same SSG. They never fail when they should. LCK still has to rely on us SKT in the end!"
"Don't let 3-0 get you down, you idiots!"
Korean audiences are not very friendly.
But let’s be honest, who can really be friendly in this situation?
SKT has already entered the finals, and you, SSG, were almost beaten 3-0 by EDG.
SKT fans also have something to say:
How can we do well in LCK if we are with such insects?
Everyone is pretty good, why are you the only one who is so bad?
Don’t mention LZ, LZ has been expelled from the number one seed.
The evil LPL capital comprador team!
This is LZ's nickname in LCK now.
Although there is not a single CN player, the capital behind you is from CN.
However, since it was a civil war that was lost, not many people targeted LZ.
LCK viewers are too lazy to mention it.
Losing the civil war was not a good thing.
I'm almost satisfied with it, at least we didn't lose to LPL.
BP starts!
In the third game, SSG changed its tactics again.
They realized that Xu Yuan in the bottom lane was the kind of person who had to be targeted.
If SSG dares to let Xu Yuan go, Xu Yuan will give them a big job.
Maybe during the fight, a very fat AD suddenly appears.
Xu Yuan: Damn, go away, ignore it!
SSG will never let this happen again.
Therefore, SSG had no intention of targeting other lanes in this game.
All the moves are used to target the bottom lane group!
Wind girl?
Moved!
Lulu?
Moved!
Virus?
Moved!
All five moves are given to the bottom lane, two for support and three for AD.
Fortunately, EDG usually gives Xu Yuan a counter position on the red side, otherwise they would not be able to move so many.
In this version, many people say that the blue team is stronger than the red team, because Skateboard Shoes is a must-have position for the red team.
But Xu Yuan felt that the red team might not necessarily suffer a loss.
Because the red side has the last counter position.
As long as the AD's hero pool is deep enough, he can completely deal with any targeting from the blue side and forcibly gain the advantage of ADC!
But how can ordinary people withstand this kind of BP pressure?
What a coincidence.
Even American five-star General MacArthur once said: Xu Yuan is not an ordinary person.
Even if he is on the red side every time, Xu Yuan still has heroes to play.
This is the confidence that the crazy amount of training gives him.
The magnetic field rotates, the power of four thousand ranks!
Just twenty-eight minutes later.
Sect Leader An looked at the black and white computer screen in front of him in pain. He couldn't help but lower his head and cover his face, sobbing silently.
The team is wiped out!
This time he was madly targeting Xu Yuan.
But Xu Yuan didn't give Smeb any chance at all, allowing Mingkai to help Smeb gain enough advantage in the top lane.
Cuvee is a top laner at the same level as Smeb, and Cuvee is even more powerful in this version.
But this gap does not affect the overall situation at all.
Because Smeb has MingKai, and Cuvee can only withstand the pressure alone.
After all, Master An wanted to target Xu Yuan in the bottom lane.
SSG's favorite top, mid and jungle solo laning system was stolen by EDG intact... and picked up.
Don’t you like playing top lane and leading the team?
Are you the only top laner?
Smeb, go!
When two top laners of similar level fight, the jungler is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Cuvee was paralyzed by Mingkai's targeting and didn't develop at all.
As a result, in the mid-game, SSG had to devote a considerable amount of energy to dealing with the single lane.
Smeb also helped Xu Yuan gain time to catch up on his development.
On the other hand, in team battles, SSG was very proactive at this time.
But EDG didn't respond to them at all.
I have a solo lead, why do I have to follow you?
SSG's once proud tactics have now been replicated by EDG at a nanometer level, one to one.
One can imagine how complicated Edgar's mood was as he sat backstage.
SSG, who kept trying to seize opportunities, gave EDG opportunities instead.
After seizing an opportunity to take down the Baron, EDG decisively chose to counterattack.
With the help of Smeb's Troll who landed after TP, SSG's back row was completely torn to pieces!
After this team fight, SSG was already doomed.
"Is it finally...over?"
Edgar looked at the EDG army pressing forward on the screen, and the glaring economic gap of 13,000, and finally sighed.
In fact, he had a bad feeling before the fight today.
They have too little information about EDG, especially about the core player Savior.
Even if he tried his best to collect information, he couldn't find much.
And all this information... is useless!
Because Savior changes his playing style in every game, research on Savior is useless.
You are planning to use the formula to solve a math problem, but the other person suddenly asks you how many centimeters the dragon of Liang Xiaosan is.
Anyone would be confused by this, right?
Savior's playing style is so imaginative.
He has many characteristics of top ADs, but he is also very different from any top AD.
This is a unique player.
Edgar smiled with relief.
When you meet a super newcomer like this, you can only consider yourself unlucky, right?
Just like when Lee Sang-hyuk suddenly appeared in S3 and killed all his opponents alone.
Some people are born to be beyond common sense.
but!
Edgar doesn't think he will continue to be strong.
As strong as Lee Sang-hyuk is, didn’t he still fail to make it to the World Championship in S4?
He took a deep look at the handsome and quiet boy in the lower right corner.
Savior……
Just wait!
Wait until the next version that is not AD.
Let’s compete again!
“It’s about to end.”
Brother Crown tried his best to maintain his emotions, but his slightly trembling voice still revealed his inner fluctuations.
How can I not care?
How many days and nights of hard training, how many times I wanted to give up but finally persevered, how many years of struggle and non-stop!
Brother Crown is also not young this year.
Samsung failed to seize the opportunity last year.
But Samsung still failed to seize this year's opportunity!
For Brother Crown, the dream of winning the championship dissipated at this moment like a disillusioned butterfly, leaving only the devastation and silence of reality.
At this moment, the world seemed to turn gray.
He sat on the chair, but he just subconsciously supported his body.
His eyes were already red, and he could only wipe away his tears silently.
No one cares about the tears of losers.
It serves no purpose other than adding to the jokes and exposing one's own weakness.
Under the messy hair, there was a dull look in the eyes behind the glasses.
It's over!
Seeing that EDG had started to push the front tower, Chidi was like a lost soul, staring at his screen in a daze.
Another one...AD GAP!
No matter in laning or team fighting, he was beaten to pieces by the monster he was facing. They were completely on a different level.
Chidi has made great progress this year, and his confidence has been rebuilt in one game after another.
But it turns out that the gap in talent may really be insurmountable.
Three GAPs, no chance of fighting back!
This is the worst explosion that Chidi has ever suffered in his career so far.
He was beaten so hard that he lost his mind.
When he heard what Brother Crown said, a look of pain appeared in his eyes.
Whispered.
“I’m sorry…I’m sorry.”
Brother Crown didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the EDG players attacking their main crystal.
"Can saying sorry change the outcome of a loss? If I could, I'd say it all day long."
Sect Leader An calmed himself down and became furious when he heard him say this.
"Ruler, you are in the position with the biggest gap today."
He spoke without mercy.
Chidi's body trembled, "Yes... I know."
Maybe it's another scolding?
He thought so.
Ah, that’s what I should do.
After being outmatched in three consecutive games, it was only natural for them to be reprimanded for such performance.
"Promise me that you will remember today's humiliation."
The voice of Master An suddenly rang out.
Emperor Chi was stunned.
"Remember, in the semi-finals of S7, Savior beat you by three games!"
His voice was still cold and stern, but it was not at all the attitude of scolding Chidi.
"Then, fight back!"
"Jae Hyuk."
He called out Chidi's name for the first time in a competition.
"ah……"
Chidi replied in a daze.
"I'm so sorry for being so harsh on you before. If possible, could you please forgive me?"
"For the sake of being teammates after all..."
"If I meet Savior again next year, please help me get revenge."
"I may choose to retire."
Master An's voice gradually became calm.
But it was like a bolt from the blue, causing Chidi's body to tremble uncontrollably.
It was at this time.
With MingKai's last basic attack, SSG's main crystal was broken!
"Perfectly operated game! How many lineups does EDG have that we haven't seen yet?!"
Miller was in high spirits and couldn't stop laughing.
"Three to zero! There is no suspense at all!"
"EDG defeated SSG and advanced to the finals!"
At this time, Colonel Guan's eyes were wide open.
It looks like it has been played to pieces.
I couldn't utter a single word.
“Awesome!!!!! EDG is awesome!!!”
"What a cool 3-0! What a cool number one seed!!"
"This is the dominance I want to see! So what if SSG? We said we'd beat you 3-0 and we'll beat you 3-0!"
"Check Ed Zhu to see if he's running a casino! EDG has too many cards!"
"Yuan Shen is awesome! He's probably still the MVP in this game, Gui Gui!"
"Three matches of MVP, and you are the only one who is called Chidi? Chidi!"
"You can target me as much as you want. If I don't carry, I lose! This is the value of being the No. 1 AD in LPL!"
"? Isn't it a bit too much to be the No. 1 AD in LPL?"
"? What are they barking about? They beat the Korean team 3-0 and made it to the finals against SKT. Is that not the No. 1 AD in LPL?"
"If you don't know, you might think EDG has already won the championship! SKT's finals are interesting. If they lost, wouldn't they just be runner-ups? Uzi has been runner-ups twice, please know!"
"Godzilla announces his ties with the clown above, Yuanzi, kill SKT!"
The barrage of comments from LPL viewers is still complex.
No matter how outrageous the remarks are, they will still be published.
Various cross-dressing and awkward praise and criticism emerge in endlessly.
Maybe the Godzilla you thought of was actually Huang Za in cross-dressing costume.
Or the one who seems to be speaking for EDG is also Godzilla in a cross-dressing role.
That's the internet, boy.
True and false, false and true, most people really can't grasp it.
“In fact, I had this idea before the World Championship.”
The calm voice of Master An was heard in the SSG team voice chat.
His teammates were listening to him in silence.
"If you keep playing, your condition will get worse and worse."
"If I can't win the championship this year, maybe I really have no destiny to win the championship, and I don't deserve to win the championship."
"Rather than continue to drag down my teammates, I'd rather retire. I'm not the kind of person who likes to delay others."
"Ruler, you must continue to work hard in training. Even if I am no longer in SSG, you must become the pillar of SSG."
"The future of SSG is in your hands."
Sect Leader An spoke softly, but his tone was unusually gentle.
However, Emperor Chi would rather he scold him.
"Why...? We can still fight for another year!"
Chidi spoke hastily.
Although Master An usually has high demands on him, Master An has even higher demands on himself.
He asked Chidi to train until three in the morning, and he would definitely leave at four.
Emperor Chi has very complicated emotions towards Master An.
I hate that he sometimes verbally bullies me, and I hate that he is too harsh on me.
However, he was also grateful for Master An's discipline and knew the expectations that Master An placed on him.
When he suddenly heard the news that he was going to retire, it was hard for Chidi not to think too much.
It’s me…
Was it me who shattered his dream?
Chidi looked at his hands on the keyboard, as if he saw himself crushing Master An's dream with his own hands.
“…That’s enough. I’m tired, Jae Hyuk.”
Sect Leader An was silent for a while, then spoke calmly.
He patiently instructed,
"After the game, during the post-match interview, put all the problems on me."
"You are still young, and there is still a long future ahead of you."
"Let me bear the shame of being beaten 3-0 by EDG alone. I'm about to retire, so it doesn't matter to me."
Master An is very clear about the current public opinion.
Now that we are defeated 3-0, we will definitely be held accountable when we return.
Rather than passing the buck, he would rather bear it alone.
And he really felt that he didn't do well enough today.
Yes. The ruler was indeed beaten to a disadvantage.
But didn’t he get beaten to a disadvantage?
Master An never ignores his own problems.
"I see."
Chidi exhaled and slowly loosened his clenched fists.
However, endless regret and unwillingness still came like a tide.
The only thought of Chidi is:
I beat my teammates into retirement!
"Um?"
Some doubtful voices sounded in my ears.
Chidi stood up, biting his lips, and looked at Xu Yuan who was extending his hand to shake hands.
Post-match handshake!
A moment for the victor.
And now, Xu Yuan is here.
