Looking at the Chi Emperor in front of him who was biting his lips with an unwilling look on his face, Xu Yuan appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he had already started laughing wildly in his heart.
That’s the expression!
I've always wanted to see this expression of yours!
What an expression of reluctance and helplessness, Ruler Emperor!
Before the game, there were interviews with players from both sides.
What Chidi said in the interview was very interesting:
"Savior may be strong, but he can't be a serious opponent for me."
Ok, now we are 3-0, are you not taking it seriously?
Xu Yuan has always been a fun-loving person.
I can be serious when I need to be serious, but generally I just like to have fun.
He just looked at Chidi calmly and stretched out his hand.
Come, accept the winner's handshake.
“…”
Chidi finally raised his hands and held his hands.
Lean forward and bow deeply.
Although he was extremely unhappy, Emperor Chi also knew that the winner would be the king and the loser would be the bandit.
Now that they have won, we should give the winner the respect he deserves.
If I act unconvinced... it would be too embarrassing.
The game is lost, but the competitive spirit cannot be lost.
To the Emperor's surprise.
Facing his bow, Xu Yuan did not remain indifferent, but also bent slightly to show him respect.
Chidi's expression suddenly looked much better.
Losing to such an opponent... is acceptable.
“Come on, come again next year.”
Xu Yuan smiled and spoke in Korean.
Chidi was stunned. Without having time to think about why he could speak Korean, he nodded heavily.
"Inside!"
Come again next year!
After the handshake session, Chidi followed the team off the stage and couldn't help but look back at Xu Yuan on the stage.
At this moment, he was being interviewed by MVP.
Chidi clenched his fists, left silently without looking back.
This place doesn't belong to him now.
"Say hello to everyone?"
"Hello everyone, I am EDG's AD player Savior."
Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand gently.
"Savior! Savior! Savior!"
"God of the Deep! God of the Deep! God of the Deep!"
Fans supporting SSG have already started to leave, so the remaining ones are basically iron-blooded LPL fans and EDG team fans.
So when faced with Xu Yuan's greeting, they were extremely enthusiastic.
Many boys may not have this kind of enthusiasm towards their girlfriends.
Among all the cheers, the voice of a sturdy man in the front row was particularly penetrating.
He stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Yuan!!! Bang hard in the finals!!"
Xu Yuan's face showed a bit of surprise, but in the next second he smiled confidently and nodded.
"rest assured."
He took out the microphone and responded calmly.
Abu in the backstage was so anxious that he was dying.
Using Big B's formula, Abu's psychological activities at this time are as follows:
Oh my god, this AD, brothers, let me tell you. Oh my god, this is really none of my business, he has always been like this in the interview session, no matter how I persuade him, it’s useless.
Thanks to "Savior's remarks have nothing to do with EDG" for sending planes, one hundred planes!
Oh, don't mess with the rhythm. We EDG must still have a relationship with Savior. Don't do this! Thank you, boss!
"If he is always so direct in every interview, does he really not worry about being purged if he loses?"
Abu couldn't help but speak, feeling a little helpless.
Mingkai, however, didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Yuan's behavior.
He held his chin, looked at Xu Yuan on the stage with an indulgent look, and smiled.
"If I really lose, I will be held accountable no matter what I say."
"You are arrogant. You are arrogant after losing."
"You're a coward. You just don't have the energy to fight after you lose."
"To put it bluntly, if you lose, everything you say is wrong."
"Yuanzi told me that if you're worried about being punished if you tell others, then wouldn't it be better if you win?"
Abu scratched his head and sighed.
"It seems... there is really no problem."
He was almost convinced by Mingkai.
"No, Mingkai, you always speak up for him. Aren't you a little too indulgent?"
Abu is alert.
Isn’t this too indulgent?
“He deserves it.”
Mingkai spoke calmly.
In fact, he didn't want this to happen.
But Xu Yuan said that he would help him win the championship...
After finally finishing the post-match interview, Xu Yuan walked off the stage and took the backpack from Ming Kai, and the group chatted and laughed as they prepared to leave.
Originally, reaching the finals was also an exciting thing for the EDG players.
But after Xu Yuan said in the lounge that SSG was just a part of the journey, their originally impetuous emotions gradually calmed down.
Already reached the finals.
Compared to the semi-final that has already ended, there is an even more crucial and tough battle to be fought next.
November 4th, this is the day of the finals.
The opponent is SKT, which has been beaten twice by EDG this year.
The MSI failed once, and the Intercontinental Championship failed again.
But even so, SKT in the World Championship is completely different from them in other competitions, and EDG is very clear about this.
So they didn't feel that the game had lost its suspense.
In the final preparation stage, training is still going on madly.
October 30th, EDG temporary training room.
"Who is our opponent at noon today?"
Xu Yuan turned and looked at Abu behind him.
"RNG was originally disbanded after the World Championship, but the players and coaches took the initiative to contact us and asked if they needed a training match."
Abu said a name that surprised Xu Yuan a little.
"Thank Uzbek and the others later."
Xu Yuan thought about it and understood why.
Now in S7, everyone is still relatively united.
Although RNG has been eliminated, they are still willing to help EDG play training games.
No matter how effective the training is, at least they are willing to train with you even though they are on vacation, and that is worth Xu Yuan thanking them for.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the training match with RNG ended and EDG gained a lot.
The purpose of their training match was not to win.
Because RNG's grasp of the version and lineup are too weak, EDG doesn't have much room for improvement if the only goal is to win.
So for five consecutive games, both sides were just meticulous in last-hitting during the laning phase.
Wait until the team fight starts after the game has developed steadily for 20 minutes.
Yes, what they practiced with RNG was team battles!
Compared with the RNG in S8, what impression does the RNG in S7 leave on people?
A picturesque terrorist group battle!
How could RNG make it to the World Championship when they had no idea about the Censer meta in the summer season?
Because they only need to produce the censer and then fight in a team.
Their teamfighting level...
Even in the entire world competition, they are definitely at the forefront.
This is really no exaggeration.
The two games against SSG in the group stage do not mean that they are stronger than SSG.
But it is enough to show how good RNG is in team battles when they are in good form.
Therefore, EDG agreed with RNG before training to only fight in team battles.
Because the effect of training this way is better!
EDG’s team fights are tough enough, but that’s only because Xu Yuan is tough.
Now we are in the final sprint stage, and any improvement we can make is valuable.
Although the main C Xu Yuan’s team battle training has improved, the support also needs training.
The first three practices were all about team battles with the big dragon.
The game lasted for 40 minutes, and the team battle lasted about 20 minutes in the Baron pit.
The last two games were faster, mainly focusing on the early dragon fight.
EDG gained a lot from the training match with RNG.
When it comes to team battles, the more you fight, the more intense the fight becomes.
Cooperation is something that can be acquired through practice.
After it was over, Xiang Guo spoke directly and rudely.
"Let me beat SKT in this game, damn it."
"Three to zero!"
Mingkai smiled and said, "No problem, I'll pick you up for dinner if you win."
"I'm telling you, if you don't win the championship, you won't be invited?"
The incense pot exudes fragrance.
"Come on, I think you should be able to beat them 3-0 in the finals. SSG seems to be stronger than SKT."
Xiaohu still had a hoarse voice, but his words were very sincere.
However, Xu Yuan's deepest impression of Xiaohu was the sentence he imitated:
Those who lie must swallow a thousand needles.
"God Yuan, charge!"
letme also made no secret of his identity and directly cheered for Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan smiled and thanked him.
Ok, let me, we are even now.
In his previous life, Xu Yuan bought his toilet paper.
Losing 50 grams of rice is the most failed decision in life.
So he has a little hatred towards letme.
But now that letme has become Yuanza, then it’s ok, the misunderstanding is resolved.
Speed ​​up the toilet paper 2, we must support it this time!
"Come on, Yuanzi."
"We must beat SKT! We must beat Bang!"
"I can't beat him, but you can."
Uzi was also very sincere and spoke solemnly.
In fact, in most cases, it is just Goslin who is possessed by the devil. Uzi is still a pretty normal person when he is not red-hot.
The only abnormal thing is that he found a good woman like the evil god.
"Leave it to me."
Xu Yuan replied equally solemnly.
No matter whether Uzi is bragging or not, at least we have to give him credit for wanting to beat the Korean team.
"Hehe, Tian Ye, have you decided which skin to choose? Can you choose Titan? I think Titan skins are easier to sell."
RNG's support Xiao Ming was more enthusiastic. He started helping Meiko choose skins directly.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard his words.
He still likes Titan so much!
He is worthy of being called the Titan King of LPL.
Meiko and Xiao Ming are completely two extremes.
Meiko’s soft support is the best among the best, and his hard support is terrible.
On the contrary, Xiao Ming’s hard support is awesome, but his soft support is a mess.
All I can say is that the LPL must speed up the research and development of the combination technology. These two combined should be invincible.
After the training match with RNG, the next one was the training match with WE.
Unlike the match against RNG, EDG was training mid-term operations when playing against WE.
WE's strongest point is also mid-term operations.
Although WE was eliminated, they did not slack off at all during the training match with EDG and still played very hard.
EDG's already excellent mid-term operational capabilities began to slowly rise again.
After the training match with WE, the next ones to come are OMG and JDG.
Many teams had already had their day off.
But when the players heard that EDG needed to play a training match, they agreed without hesitation even at home.
Even if I don't have a computer at home, I will go to the Internet cafe to accompany EDG to train.
This is the extremely united LPL now!
One team after another, one training match after another.
EDG was already in very good shape and is progressing to a higher level.
And all of this is remembered by all EDG people.
October 31st, training match!
November 1st, another training match.
November 2nd, it’s still a training match.
November 3rd, the final opponent, IG!
After practicing team battles and operations, the next step is naturally the equally critical online ability.
And now IG is the strongest opponent.
Even in terms of single-line strength, they are not much behind SKT.
Moreover, their team battles are equally strong, and they can often create miracle team battles through the players' operations.
The training match with IG was undoubtedly the most rewarding.
"Come on, man, beat SKT and win the championship."
Rookie smiled and spoke after the game.
"What else is there to say? Just beat him up! SKT has already lost, I said it."
Prince Ning spoke carelessly.
He is not afraid of SKT at all.
If he really were to play against SKT, he would also be confident that he could speed run through it.
The now complete IG can give him this kind of confidence.
“Come on!”
Baolan's voice was a little thin, but he still cheered for EDG.
"Come on, Savior."
Theshy spoke seriously.
"Being the world champion at the age of 17, shouldn't be difficult for you, Yuanzi? I'm ready to buy your skin, can you tell me what skin you'll choose for this year's champion? Don't be afraid of fighting, if they want to fight, just fight them!"
A Shui is a troublemaker just like Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming helped Meiko open the champagne, and he helped Xu Yuan open the champagne.
This made Xu Yuan feel a little amused and helpless.
EDG sincerely thanked IG and began to prepare for the final.
After this last training match, the training is almost over.
This is also normal. When there is about a day left before the final, tactical analysis will usually be carried out instead of continuing training.
There are still twenty-six hours before the start of the competition.
"Tomorrow is the final. No matter what the final result of the S-League, which has been going on for more than a month, is about to end."
Abu stood in the middle of the room and spoke with a smile.
"To be honest, it was a surprise to many people that we made it to the final, at least to me."
"but--"
He then spoke,
“I don’t think we are unworthy of winning the championship.”
"If we have reached this point, then why can't we win the championship? No matter what the opponent is like, in the end, there is only this BO5."
"If you can get through it, you will win."
Abu didn't give a long speech, he just stated the simplest truth.
Now that we've come this far, we should have the confidence to win the championship.
He encouraged the players as always and gave a final mobilization.
Time is ticking.
November 4th is here!
EDG rushed to the capital on the day the game ended, just to avoid delaying training time.
So on the day of the competition, I arrived at the scene very early.
As expected, they saw fans outside the venue again.
Xu Yuan sat in the bus and glanced at the time on his mobile phone.
11:27
"So early..."
His eyes fell on the window.
In front of us was a sea of ​​spectators, so crowded that it seemed as if there was no end in sight.
Xu Yuan could even see the oil paint on the faces of the audience who were close by.
That is EDG’s team logo.
They all held EDG's support items, with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
EDG's bus stopped quietly and the players prepared to enter through the player channel.
But there are also many fans waiting here.
“Come on EDG!”
"Come on EDG!!! You must beat SKT!!!"
"Win the championship! Win the championship! Win the championship!"
The moment they saw the contestants, the fans burst into amazing cheers.
They waved their cheering items desperately, calling out the contestants' IDs and names.
"Tian Ye! Come on Tian Ye!!!"
"Do your best today! I believe you can win!"
"Mingkai!!! You must play well today, this is your best chance!!!"
“Mai Bobo, you have to cheer up today too!!!”
"Come on, Yuanshen!!!"
The contestants walked into the venue one by one with serious expressions.
Xu Yuan waved his hand gently and walked at the end of the team.
When they finally entered the venue, Mingkai, who had been holding a tense face, breathed a sigh of relief.
“… …The pressure is a bit high.”
He couldn't help but speak.
You will never be able to experience that feeling unless you go there, the feeling that many people are looking forward to you.
Seeing the fans cheering for him, Mingkai was moved but also felt that the burden on him became heavier.
"We are already the last hope of LPL."
The handsome boy, carrying the EDG bag, spoke calmly.
Mingkai was stunned and smiled.
"yes……"
As a team that has reached the finals, EDG is indeed the only hope of LPL at this time.
If EDG loses, then this year will probably be the LCK's fermented bean curd again.
At this point, they were already the last possibility.
So it is normal to have so many people supporting us at the scene.
This is originally the home court of LPL.
Many people may not like EDG, but now they can only support EDG.
Of course, there are also Korean movies.
This is unavoidable.
Let me reiterate, liking LCK does not mean being a Korean fan. Those who mindlessly praise LCK and then criticize LPL teams are the ones who do.
When EDG arrived at the dressing room, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.
Because SKT arrived earlier than them and had already started putting on makeup.
Li Xianghe was a little happy as he hadn't seen Xu Yuan for a long time.
Although they are sworn enemies today, that was after the game started.
In private, it was not illegal for him to admire Xu Yuan.
I didn't expect that...
This was Li Xianghe's only thought.
Indeed, I didn't expect it.
He really didn't expect that in the end, the AD who was willing to play with him as Minotaur would become his opponent today.
Lee Sang Hyuk admires hard-working contestants, and Heo Yuan happens to be such a person.
He wanted to say hello, but hesitated because he was worried about the repercussions.
"Savior!"
Fortunately, he cares about the impact , but some people don't.
Bang greeted Xu Yuan happily.
Bang is going to leave next year, does he still care about this?
So now seeing Savior’s Bang was very enthusiastic and waved vigorously.
Xu Yuan smiled and waved, saying hello.
Now his relationship with Bang is very good. Although they cannot be called die-hard brothers, they are definitely close friends.
"Are you ready for the final? I can't help but tremble with excitement when I think about beating you today."
Bang smiled and spoke.
He really wasn't lying. When he thought about competing with Xu Yuan on the S7 finals stage, he almost couldn't sleep yesterday.
To say I was shaking with excitement might be an exaggeration, but it was close.
“It’s ready, ready to lift the trophy.”
Xu Yuan smiled confidently and brightly.
"Ayisi, it really is the Savior."
Bang cursed with a smile, but his expression turned serious.
"Savior, if you can't maintain your level today, I will be disappointed."
"I will help SKT win the fourth championship and become the first team in history to win four championships."
"Prepare for your failure, Savior!"
Bang is a very arrogant player.
In other words, top players generally have strong personalities.
Why is Ah Shui considered to be a great character? Because he is not arrogant and can accept any teammates calmly.
Great, no words needed!
Bang before S7 had already started to lose interest in this game.
"Wanghu, will you really be happy if you keep winning the championship?"
That's what he used to think.
To put it in more common terms, he has already won.
If you win too much, you will naturally feel that it is no longer interesting.
For Bang before S7, the saying "success always runs through life" is not an exaggeration.
However, just when he finished the spring season as the core and qualified for MSI again, he felt completely bored.
Xu Yuan appeared out of nowhere.
The MSI finals were played extremely well, so well that even Bang was willing to admit that he was beaten by the AD gap.
In the intercontinental competition after MSI, Bang was defeated by Xu Yuan again, which aroused his strong self-esteem.
Yes, he was indeed bored.
But before he chooses to step down voluntarily, he will not give up the position of the world's No. 1 AD in LOL easily!
There are things he can give.
But you can't rob!
Therefore, in the summer season, Bang not only did not meditate, but trained even harder.
He wants revenge!
For many days and nights, he was looking forward to fighting with Xu Yuan again.
Now, the time has finally come.
How could he not be excited?
How can I not be excited?
Savior, let's have the final showdown!
If you can defeat me this time...
AD in LPL... No!
Among all ADs in the world, he is also willing to call Savior the strongest!
The world's No. 1 ADC will be decided today!
However, in response to Bang's declaration, Xu Yuan just smiled faintly and said nothing.
The world's number one ADC?
To be honest, he really didn't care.
So what if I’m called the fifth-best champion?
Just being a champion is fine.
Rather than being praised as the world's number one without being able to win a championship, Xu Yuan would rather hold the trophy and smile while watching the haters on the bulletin board or forum scolding him for being the fifth best champion.
Who doesn’t want to lie down when they can?
Xu Yuan also wanted to lie down, but in EDG he had to be the C.
The team needs me as C?
Then let’s choose C!
That was his idea, plain and simple.
While the contestants were putting on their final makeup, a man had already walked to the top of the Bird's Nest and was looking down.
He had messy short brown hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and had deep eyes.
"I didn't expect you to come. Aren't you going to deal with the direction of the version?"
A teasing voice came from behind.
Riot President Ryze turned around and saw his smiling boss Tryndamere.
"...To make the next version, the finals will naturally be a very reference data."
He spoke calmly.
"After all, we don't want one team to dominate all the time, right?"
"Hey BRO, don't say things like we're targeting the championship team, even though we are."
Tryndamere walked up to him and bumped Ryze's shoulder with some dissatisfaction.
Ryze's mouth twitched.
Such childish actions... Is this person an elementary school student?
However, when he thought about the fact that Katarina's model was used every time a new hero was tested, Ryze suddenly smiled with relief.
Katarina is the name of Tryndamere's ex-girlfriend, and it was also an unforgettable experience.
Ryze was sure that experience must have made Tryndamere very unhappy.
That's why he always uses Carter to demonstrate a new hero.
It’s confirmed, he is the elementary school student!
As an old partner for many years, Ryze is specifically responsible for the technical aspects, and he is in charge of this version.
And Tryndamere is better at communication, so he is more responsible for some operational matters.
Ryze knew his partner's character too well, and he knew that he was a bit shady.
"Honestly, you shouldn't have come. Didn't Annie want you to take her out more often a long time ago? You spend too little time with her!"
Ryze spoke helplessly.
Annie is the name of the boss Tryndamere's daughter.
Yes, the name of the Daughter of Darkness in the game is his daughter's name.
This is truly the daughter of my fist, and you can't compare to her.
Hearing Ryze's words, Tryndamere smiled brightly and spoke with surprise.
"Hey Bro, how did you know I brought Annie with me?"
Ryze:?
Tryndamere turned around and greeted.
"Annie! Annie! Come over here and say hello to your Uncle Ryze!"
As he called, a girl in a white dress came over with a smile.
"Hello Uncle Ryze!"
"Ah... hello."
Ryze had a big headache.
Damn Tryndamere, why did he bring this little ancestor here?
Anne, who is seventeen years old this year, has very smooth platinum short hair, her deep blue eyes are full of curiosity and happiness, she has a pretty face and a high nose bridge.
The eyes are bright and charming, and the look is full of radiance.
Anne gives a very good impression when she is quiet.
However, Ryze's evaluation is:
She's a pretty girl, but too lively.
"Annie, Dad didn't lie to you, did he? I said I'd take you out to play, so I'll take you out to play. It's fun here in CN, right?"
Tryndamere laughed.
"It's a nice place. I like it here. Can I study abroad here?"
Anne hugged Tryndamere with a smile and turned her head to ask.
"Of course my dear, you can do whatever you want."
Old father Tryndamere was very happy.
"Excuse me, but you will really spoil Annie like this."
Ryze held his forehead with his hand in pain.
"I trust her choice and will not interfere with her life in any way."
Tryndamere spoke in a pretentiously deep voice.
Ryze's mouth twitched and he said no more.
Tryndamere took out a booklet and handed it to Annie like a treasure.
"Honey, look, these are the two teams in today's finals. Which team do you hope will win?"
Anne took the booklet and flipped through it carefully.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed to a page of player information and spoke.
"Father, who is he?"
Tryndamere took one look and gave a mischievous smile.
"So you still like handsome guys?"
"This is EDG's ADCarry player, Savior."
Anne held the booklet tightly in her hand.
"Then I want EDG to win!"
"Okay, okay! If they can't win this year, then we'll improve whatever they play next year, okay?"
Tryndamere started to make fun of him.
"No! I believe he can! He is so handsome, and good-looking people must be very powerful!"
Listening to the conversation around him, Ryze sighed in his heart.
Oh my god!
Please spare me!
Suddenly, music started.
Ryze glanced at the time and spoke with an expectant look in his eyes.
"Tryndamere, Annie."
"The game is about to start!"
The opening ceremony is about to begin!
