"Savior! Savior! Savior!"
"BRO, I think I really fell in love with him, what a perfect operation."
"This player's ID is really crazy, but he showed strength that matches his ID. I like him very much. Love comes from America."
"Oh my god, he is so handsome, SO Handsome!"
This is the European and American barrage.
There was no doubt that Xu Yuan was the sole C in this game. He single-handedly broke through the Flash Wolves' bottom lane group and helped EDG win its first victory.
As for Meiko?
Come on, does it take a lot of operations to be a shield dog and put up a shield on the side?
This is what most people think.
Of course Xu Yuan doesn't think so.
It is actually very difficult to play AD when the support is bad in laning.
The level of AD determines the lower limit of the bottom lane, while the level of support determines the upper limit of the bottom lane.
Meiko's operation is not outstanding, but she is obedient.
If Meiko was a support like Zhuo Ge who didn’t like others’ comments.
Then Xu Yuan would start to curse.
Fortunately, Meiko is not like that.
"This game was completely carried by Xu Yuan. God Yuan is so awesome. I thought he would be nervous, but he was more relaxed than he was in China!"
"That's normal. There's no one in foreign countries who explodes when they can't win."
"How dare you! Who are you hinting at?"
"I definitely didn't say a contestant whose name starts with a U and ends with an I, don't get me wrong."
"Am I the only one who thinks that Yuan Shen might be holding back in the country?"
This barrage attracted a lot of people's attention.
Everyone thought... Wow, it’s true!
At least in the country, Xu Yuan has never invaded the opponent's jungle area and killed the opponent's jungler.
When it comes to international competitions, the results are even more amazing than in domestic leagues?
Now I have to like Xu Yuan.
The reason is simple, many people are the so-called civil war gods.
He is an expert in civil war but a layman in foreign war.
EDG is the phantom god of civil war in the eyes of many people.
Mingkai has literally been nailed to the pillar of shame.
We play so well in the league every year, but what’s the point of wearing a suit and tie?
Even in the World Championship, he still has to show filial piety to his Korean father, which is really embarrassing.
Fuck you!
But now it seems that Xu Yuan is at completely different extremes from EDG.
Although the domestic play is also good, it is far from being as wild as the current MSI style of play.
But the audience likes him like this!
To put it bluntly, foreign wars are always the most popular.
What's the point of bullying your own people?
Just as embarrassing is losing to a wild card.
So Xu Yuan naturally attracted fans.
When he stood up from his seat, the Brazilian audience looked at the ADC who played perfectly and cheered.
"Savior! Savior! Savior!"
They were calling out his ID.
Today, Xu Yuan is the only C.
It's natural to be praised.
Xu Yuan's face flushed slightly.
Don't be so mean, it's not Hong Wen.
Who won several games and still had a red and warm score?
He is excited.
Is this what it feels like to be cheered on?
Looking forward, you can see a huge number of audiences below the stage, waving their glow sticks wildly.
The name they were talking about was Xu Yuan.
This feeling...
“It’s really good!”
Xu Yuan's smile became even brighter.
He followed his teammates and walked behind the Flash Wolves players.
Now, it is the part that belongs exclusively to the winners.
shake hands!
Although on the surface it is meant to put competition second and friendship first, in reality this segment is more like... the condescending pity of the winner towards the loser.
No professional player likes to be approached and shaken.
Mi|Midan looked at the boy in front of her with a bright smile and wanted to say something but didn't say it.
Karsa's original expression was not looking good.
What a bad start!
I lost so badly in the first game, being defeated by one person alone.
This made him feel a little ashamed.
However, at this moment, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, he saw him bow slightly and stretch out his hand.
Karsa couldn't help but feel some affection for him.
The original resentment in my heart seemed to have lessened a lot.
Karsa oh karsa, how could you be so depraved? !
You can't let go of your hostility just because your enemy is handsome! !
Karsa roared madly in his heart, trying to wake himself up.
He pursed his lips, tried his best to keep a straight face and stretched out his hand.
The two hands were clasped together.
Xu Yuan still likes the player Karsa very much.
Although he made some mistakes, he also helped LPL win many honors when he was in LPL.
A capable and famous general!
"I look forward to our next fight. Please don't give me military training."
He said with a smile.
Karsa's expression was a little stunned, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
“I’m looking forward to it, too.”
Xu Yuan smiled, stood up and walked over.
"You're in trouble. You've fallen in love!"
After the handshake session, Karsa stepped down from the stage and subconsciously looked in the direction of EDG.
Beside him, Mimi|Midan spoke softly.
"You're really a motorcycle. You played like shit with Rambo today."
Karsa glanced at him and took him to the lounge.
In the EDG lounge, Abu clapped his hands enthusiastically for the returning players.
"Well played, well played! Very good, you successfully showed your momentum in the first game! We are now representing the LPL, and we must not lose to the LMS team."
Abu was somewhat relieved.
It’s so shameful to lose to the provincial team.
"Especially Xu Yuan!"
Abu fixed his eyes on Xu Yuan, smiling like a blooming old chrysanthemum, which startled Xu Yuan, who was standing casually.
"I played really well today. Even though I was a little impulsive, the result was good."
"You did a great job. Next time you invade, you must ask Mingkai. Got it?"
There was an undisguised smile on his face.
"I know."
Xu Yuan nodded.
Without the information provided by Mingkai, he would not have been able to invade.
"Okay, everyone, come here, let's make tactical arrangements for the second game of the day."
Abu clapped his hands.
"There are two games today, one is with FW."
He looked around and spat out the name of his opponent for the second game.
"The second opponent is TSM."
TSM...
Xu Yuan frowned slightly, thinking about the configuration of TSM this year.
To be honest, it’s been quite a while.
The only thing he remembered clearly was that the mid laner Bjergsen was roaming around the whole game with Taliyah, while the top laner Hauntzer's AD Kennen made WE confused at the time.
957 got beaten badly in this game, and he got 0/6/1 after playing Jayce.
WE's top, mid and jungle were blown away.
The only lane with an advantage was unable to turn the situation around.
This was a rather humiliating loss, as WE had almost no ability to fight back throughout the game.
TSM is not weak.
Abu walked to the whiteboard in the room and wrote a name.
【Pilsen】
"He is the key to our victory today."
Abu said in a cautious tone.
"Hauntzer is very strong, and is the best top laner in North America, but in fact his shortcomings are obvious. His playing style is relatively aggressive and he doesn't pay much attention to vision."
"So I'm not particularly worried about him, because Guang has learned how to better handle pressure in IG's scrims these days."
"However, the absolute core of TSM is not Hauntzer in the top lane!"
Abu wrote down a series of numbers.
"I noticed that in Hauntzer's carry games, mid laner Bjergsen roamed top lane 0.87 times per game before 10 minutes."
He paused.
"And fifteen minutes ago, the number of times he appeared in the top lane exceeded 1, reaching around 1.2."
"Whether it's the jungler's advantage in the jungle or the top laner's advantage in the laning phase..."
"In fact, it was Bjergsen in the mid lane who turned his laning advantage into an advantage in the top and jungle!"
"So if we want to beat TSM today, we have to hold down Bjergsen."
"Mingkai, I want you and Li Lican's mid and jungle to frequently fight against them and share the pressure on A Guang in the top lane."
"As for the bottom lane, Xu Yuan, you can play freely. Your opponent is even worse than the LMS bottom lane."
Abu still has some real kung fu skills.
After all, he has been with the team since the WE period.
His understanding of BP became more and more complicated as he lost in the World Championships again and again, and he began to absorb the operational ideas of the Koreans crazily.
Today, EDG's basic operating framework was established by Abu.
He is considered a rare and truly useful coach in LPL today.
Of course, this does not affect how immoral he was in the incident involving his dead sister Bu.
When Xu Yuan saw that he had nothing to do with it, he suddenly felt a little malicious:
If Abu falls in love with Brother Kai online, then his sister will die again.
Will Brother Mingkai turn his grief into strength and explode in the World Championship?
Thinking of this, he could hardly hold back and began to laugh softly.
"How does it feel?"
SKT lounge.
Coach kkoma stood beside Lee Sang-hyeok with his hands behind his back, looking at the game video on the screen in the room, and asked slowly.
"EDG?"
"right."
"It's a bit disappointing. Isn't this the system we have here?"
"There aren't any surprises. The only problem is the mid and bottom Cs. Of course, I don't think we will lose."
Li Xianghe shook his head slightly, with visible confidence in his eyes.
"We're 100 to 100 with them."
"Even if it's Huni, he should be able to carry the team. There's a huge gap between the top laners on both sides."
kkoma smiled,
“It’s natural.”
"Although EDG can rely on learning our operating system to be invincible in LPL, the outcome of their encounter with us is already determined."
He sighed.
"It's a pity to say that, but the EDG team in S5 left a deep impression on me."
As one of the few failures in kkoma's coaching career, the S5 MSI really sounded a wake-up call for him at the time.
This made SKT so powerful during the S5 World Championship that it was despairing.
EDG is like his experience pack.
However, experience packs are no longer useful.
Teams that simply rely on the players' explosive performance have never been taken seriously by kkoma.
EDG wants to form a double C?
Go ask other people who is the world's best double C now!
kkoma has great confidence in Lee Sang Hyuk and Bang.
Do you have what it takes to compete with me, SKT?
The one who reacted just as quickly was naturally...
ESPN!
They expected some twists and turns on the first day of the group stage.
After all, the performances of those on the pre-match list are bound to be good and bad.
But they never expected that Xu Yuan, who they thought would be a failure...
There is no laxity at all!
And not only did he not perform poorly, he actually performed very well.
This is really embarrassing.
Because ESPN's evaluation of Xu Yuan is not friendly.
Although he pretended to say "he might play better than Deft", any discerning person could see that it was basically pessimism.
As a result, ESPN's Twitter account has been flooded with sarcastic viewers.
They were forced to quickly release a new tweet:
"Okay, we admit that some players may not look that simple, but we still don't think there is anything wrong with the ranking. In the final analysis, his opponent is just a nobody and has no reference value."
The translation is:
I'm having a hard time playing LMS, just bullying a noob, why are you barking?
This made the audience who could climb over the wall very angry.
"You bastard, are you still being stubborn?"
"It's fine that they put SKT first, but they looked down on us. What a double standard!"
"The next game is against TSM, right? EDG, kill them hard and give these Sima, Ou Mei and Lao Bi a slap in the face!"
But not everyone is angry.
You know, there are always idiots everywhere who think they are the only one sober while everyone else is drunk.
For example, now:
"It's not a big problem, right? LMS is just a provincial team, so isn't it natural for them to win?"
"I think ESPN is really good. Didn't we lose to Europe and America in last year's S League? We are still fighting with Europe and America in this day and age!"
7pm BJ time.
The second game of the first day, TSM vs. EDG, is about to begin.
The early stages of the game were still very ups and downs.
From the beginning of BP, TSM showed its research on EDG, and the heroes they moved were basically all the heroes that RNG used against EDG in the Spring Finals.
The main target is Xu Yuan!
Of course, that also includes his skateboard shoes.
In Xu Yuan's hands, this hero is as easy to use as killing pigs to bully the weak bottom lane teams.
TSM’s bottom lane doesn’t have the big brother [Doublelife] now, so it’s natural that they feel a little weak when playing against EDG’s bottom lane.
Then, in the mid and jungle, he selected his carefully prepared Taliyah and Lee Sin combination, striving to gain enough early advantages through a strong mid and jungle.
However, Abu was well prepared.
Xu Yuan’s hero…that’s just like what the Indian guy can do with the seven-star fish.
Highlight one of the strange and bizarre.
You can play any hero, and no hero is bad.
This is why Xu Yuan also makes Li Xianghe feel a little difficult.
Such an AD is of great help to the team's BP.
Fortunately, EDG's top laner didn't look that outstanding, otherwise SKT would have been under a lot of pressure.
kkoma watched the game seriously.
In the small notebook in his hand, he has already started to evaluate Xu Yuan.
This was a habit he had developed a long time ago.
By analyzing the players of other teams, we can find out the weaknesses of the opponent.
His evaluation system is very simple, dividing the contestants into three levels and nine grades.
B, A, S.
There are nine divisions in total, from the lowest B- to the highest S+.
On the notebook, under the ID of Savior, is kkoma's evaluation of his various abilities.
ID: Savior
Development ability: S-, can make good use of various refreshed resources, and has excellent basic skills in last-hitting.
Team battle strategy: S. This player is very calm in team battles. He usually stands in a safe position, but he is not afraid of sacrifice and can output enough damage to win for the team.
Line-up ability: Preliminary estimate is A+ or above, requiring more data support.
Ability to seize opportunities when in a disadvantageous situation: Unknown. It is rare to see this player attacking alone when in a disadvantageous situation, which is indeed how it should be for an AD position.
Player's mentality: unknown, suspected to be S+ according to information provided by Lee Sang Hyuk
Personal talent: unknown.
“…”
kkoma put down his pen and felt a little headache.
The appearance of this contestant was...too strange.
Based on his initial assessment of Xu Yuan, such a player should have become famous long ago.
However, in reality, the information he could obtain was very limited.
Apart from those in RANK, there are basically only LPL game videos.
This made kkoma, who was used to creating player profiles and finding ways to target them, feel a little uneasy.
But then he smiled and shook his head, secretly lamenting that he was too cautious.
"Although preliminary analysis shows that he is already one of the world's top ADCs, how is that possible?"
"It took Bang at least a year to get to this point. It takes a long time for talent to materialize. Even if Savior has this talent, how can he really show it in just one season?"
kkoma put down his notebook and relaxed.
There's nothing to worry about.
Are there really such exaggerated players?
He thought it was impossible.
At this moment on the field, Xu Yuan was directing his teammates to start a team fight.
Abu has done some research on TSM, and EDG's mid and jungle did seize the advantage in the early stages.
But the styles of European and American teams are very strange.
After they realized that EDG was intentionally attacking the mid and jungle, they immediately changed direction and began to target MingKai.
MingKai had a very hard time playing this game, as Bjergsen almost blew himself up while cooperating with the jungler to invade.
Even if it means losing development, it is worth it.
This directly led to MingKai's rhythm being interrupted. In order to help MingKai defend the jungle area, Scout could only engage in a disruptive fight with TSM's mid and jungle.
This is territory that is familiar to European and American teams.
If you talk about operations, Europe and the United States are really not very good at it.
But to start a chaotic battle... who doesn't know how to do that?
TSM gained the advantage in the early stage.
But...their bottom lane has been penetrated by Xu Yuan.
Although LMS's bottom lane is extremely vulnerable in front of Xu Yuan, it can still roam around against Europe and the United States.
If even the bottom lane of LMS can be like this, Xu Yuan is even more inhumane.
She killed the enemy in just five minutes. Although she was picking Jinx, who was more suitable for the late game, she kept pushing the tower in the early game.
In the 18-minute dragon fight, Jinx, who had developed well, completed a wave of harvest in the team battle and directly made up for all the disadvantages in the early stage.
Finally, in twenty-four minutes, the game was ended in one wave.
13/1/3.
This is the answer Xu Yuan gave.
C is crazy!
Although this record seems a bit like an iron K, but that's how Jinx is. Once she gets up, it's easy for her to get the lead.
"Let us congratulate EDG for a perfect first day and two consecutive wins!"
Miller, the commentator, was very happy as EDG arrived at the scene.
Although we didn’t play against the Korean team today, we still beat the provincial team and then TSM.
It’s also very cool!
"If I had known earlier, it would have been Xu Yuan who was harmed!"
"Xiaoxuedi was also quite C in the second game, but EDG's top and jungle... I really don't think they will be good!"
"Domestic C, enhance our national prestige!"
"Gui Gui, I'm really annoyed by him. Now I have no choice but to become i Yuan!"
The audience also enjoyed it.
Is this the AD of our CN?
This is... too fierce!
Guigui, Xu Yuan’s foreign war!
Like a god of war!
As Xu Yuan walked off the stage, he also remembered ESPN's evaluation of him.
They pulled out their phones and logged into the Twitter account EDG had created for them.
ESPN, you bastard, I've tolerated you for a long time.
Come on, speak!
