"Let us congratulate EDG for winning again!"
"There's only one game left, and they will advance to the finals to face the winner between FW and KZ!"
"Since the group stage, EDG has shown a terrifying dominance, and we can trust them!"
On the screen, the passionate voice of the commentator sounded.
In the camera, the young man in EDG team uniform stood up neatly, leaving the audience with a plain side profile.
The middle-aged man in a suit looked away, picked up the phone and pressed the call button.
"……Hello?"
"How are you thinking about it?"
There was no sound from the other end of the phone at first, only unspeakable silence.
The middle-aged man chuckled.
"If you don't prepare to take action now, you will never have another chance."
The bright light cast a shadow between his brows, and the strange color in his eyes disappeared.
“Do we really have to go this far?”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed a little hesitant and asked this.
"It's already this late, and you're still asking such meaningless questions. I don't think...'s boss is such a person."
The middle-aged man sneered, picked up a pen and turned it casually.
" You should be very clear about the current situation, right? Do you need me to analyze it for you again?"
"With EDG's current momentum, if their core players can win a spot in the Asian Games and perform well, who else ?"
"With the champion here, will you be a fan of others?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat helpless.
"But is this really something we can influence?"
"You also said it, given their current situation, it's basically settled, the quotas are probably already announced, and all that's left is to be announced."
A fierce look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes.
"Hasn't it been announced yet?"
The tip of his pen suddenly stopped spinning, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Besides, it's not like we can't change it after it's announced."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed shocked by his idea.
"You want to..."
"It's not what I want to say. In fact, there are many clubs that don't like EDG. You are the same, right?"
The middle-aged man smiled somewhat sarcastically.
"You're not really acting like the LPL is a family, are you? That's too hypocritical. Stop making me laugh."
He spoke calmly,
"The first quarter financial report should be out. Everyone's earnings are down, and the decline is significant. I don't believe you can make money."
"Why?"
"It's because EDG won the championship."
"If there is no intervention in any industry, it will basically be affected by the Matthew effect. The famous clubs will become more famous, and the clubs with more fans will have more fans."
"Are you really going to watch EDG take most of the Asian Games spots? Is that what you want or is it what your boss wants?"
"Our boss has already talked to me about this. We are all in this together, so let's not say anything that will make people laugh."
The person on the other end of the phone was so shocked by his straightforward words that he was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he finally spoke.
"…What are you going to do?"
"You should also be aware of this, right? Given the current situation of EDG's players, we can't just change them whenever we want."
“In terms of both strength and honor, they are indeed worthy of this position.”
Middle-aged people do not avoid this issue.
"You are right, but the Asian Games are special."
He stood up, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Being impeccable in honor does not mean being perfect as an individual."
“There is no perfect person in the world, and even if there is, it doesn’t matter.”
"As long as you control public opinion, who cares about the truth?"
He didn't care how many bowls of noodles Liuzi had eaten. He just wanted everyone to know that Liuzi might not be clean.
"Are you planning to...spread rumors?"
"Don't be so harsh, it's just a reasonable guess."
The middle-aged man lowered his head and wiped his cuffs elegantly.
"We found out that Xu Yuan had completely disappeared from the public eye for a period of time. As long as some news and speculations are released, it will be enough to stir up the public's sensitive nerves."
"The match-fixing incident seems to be over. But the impact is far from over."
"For today's audience, their trust in the contestants is already questionable."
"I remember there was a period of time on the Internet when people speculated that Xu Yuan looked very bad?"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't hang up, which showed his choice.
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you think... gambling is sensational enough?"
The middle-aged man spoke lightly.
"This level of rumor-mongering is... illegal."
The person on the other end gasped.
He really didn't expect that middle-aged people would play so big.
It's fine to spread rumors and guide public opinion, but aren't you afraid of being sued for spreading rumors using this kind of thing?
"He's just a player, what threat can he pose to us?"
The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully.
"Besides, that's what unscrupulous marketing accounts do. What does it have to do with us?"
"Even if it is really found on us, it is just our reasonable guess."
"As long as he cannot prove what he was doing during that time and the department's criminal records cannot be checked, he will not be able to prove himself."
"Then it's useless for him to say anything."
When the time comes, it will become a hot topic on Weibo.
#EDG.Savior suspected to be addicted to Texas
What can a contestant do?
Even if the authorities cooperate to clarify the matter, people can still secretly lead the trend and say it is a cover-up.
Even though normal people know that the authorities will not cover up such a matter, as long as people are given the possibility of such a thing, it will lead to the matter being unable to be clarified in a short period of time.
By then, everything will be over.
By then, even if the matter is clarified and removed from the trending searches, everything will return to normal.
Justice delayed is still justice delayed, isn't it?
Steamed bun, are you not convinced?
"...I understand, but there is a problem."
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"What if he really proves that he had a real job during that time and was not in jail... then what should we do?"
"ha?"
The middle-aged man smiled.
"A player, on vacation, just stays at home. If he travels, there is no way there is no news. This person may not be clean."
"Who can testify for him? A relative?"
“There’s no credibility.”
"Even if it is true, unless he produces decisive evidence, it will take a long time for him to prove himself."
"At that time, given the official handling style, it is very likely that the candidate was directly replaced due to considerations of impact."
"The boss has already been notified. I'm just letting you know. Don't make any mistakes."
The person on the other end of the phone stopped talking and hung up.
The middle-aged man put down his phone and squinted at the screen.
"We only need to win one more game to reach the finals."
Meiko nestled comfortably on the sofa with a smile on her face.
"We are the face of the LPL and should have made it to the finals."
Xu Yuan lowered his head and carefully checked the condition of the peripherals, then spoke casually.
"I really don't know why you like to mention LPL so much. Isn't it too much of a burden?"
Meiko said teasingly.
“No, because I am very responsible.”
Xu Yuan shook his head.
After sorting out the peripherals, he smiled.
"Because LPL wants us to win, we should win."
Li Xianghe was stunned silently for a moment, but shook his head.
"Maybe not."
From Lee Sang Hyuk's perspective, he understands it very well.
SKT has helped LCK win so many honors, but LCK clubs may not necessarily want SKT to continue its glory.
From the most basic perspective, in one sentence:
You've taken away all the fans, what are we going to eat?
LCK is not a monolithic entity, and Lee Sang-hyuk does not have much hope for how LPL will perform.
"Maybe they are hoping we lose now."
He spoke calmly.
Xu Yuan was stunned.
"Perhaps."
He smiled.
"It's more about the people who support me than the LPL."
"I don't want to see their disappointed expressions. Is that reason enough?"
"uh-huh."
Li Xianghe snorted, which was considered as approval.
The second game didn’t end very quickly, but Xu Yuan still had a lot of fun.
Because he played the bomb.
The old Xu Yuan didn’t like the bomber at all.
Those guys who play dirty stuff in the bottom lane should go to hell!
There is no AD soul and no a soul.
You, are not allowed to play League of Legends!
But there is no way, as the S8 summer season begins, mages are about to wreak havoc on the bottom lane.
So Xu Yuan could only practice.
Then he fell into evil.
ADC?
What is that?
Ziggs push the line quickly, consumes energy easily, has high damage, and has fierce burst.
Moreover, the skill has a long range and the output is safe.
Is there anything more suitable for AD than this?
Question the Bomber, understand the Bomber, become the Bomber!
Xu Yuan now has only one thought:
People who don’t use explosives in the bottom lane must have very poor quality, cultivation and taste.
"There's only one left, 3-0 EDG will never work overtime!"
"Don't come here to blast the bombs, I want to see Yuanzi shoot wildly!"
"I really want Yuanzi to put the bomb inside me, hehe."
"Ghost, what a disgusting gay man!"
"You guys are so vulgar! Hold it!"
"Go LPL! Go EDG!"
There are still a lot of incredible men in the barrage, and the incredible things they post are really rubbish.
But in a sense, it can also be regarded as love for Xu Yuan. [About]
Before the last game, the pre-match interview naturally began to play.
Xu Yuan sat in front of the camera and spoke calmly.
"I hope we can win the MSI this time."
"Because I don't want to disappoint the fans, and I also think I should show my strength as the No. 1 team in LPL."
"Since I am an LPL player, I should let the world know the strength of LPL."
"Do you have anything to say about Rekkles? I don't have much to say, I just hope he plays better."
The barrage of comments instantly went wild again.
Xu Yuan and his teammates walked onto the stage.
On the stage where everyone was paying attention, the young man sat quietly on the chair, put on his headphones, and focused his eyes again.
In the bright office, the middle-aged man looked at his face and felt a little regretful.
"If you came to our club... maybe everything could turn around."
"Unfortunately, no."
"Blame yourself, Xu Yuan."
It’s the same bright place, but shadows are growing at this moment.
Almost at the start of the third game, the capital behind one club after another made their final announcements.
At the moment when Xu Yuan was fighting for LPL, a hot search quietly appeared in the top 100 hot searches.
#League of Legends Asian Games roster is suspected to be confirmed
In less than ten minutes, the marketing account entered the scene.
[Mouse on top, Tian in the jungle, Xiye in the middle, Savior and Meiko on the bottom? What do you think of this lineup? ]
[The Asian Games roster is suspected to be composed of all EDG players except the mid laner? This really becomes the State Power]
[Is it too much? Top and jungle may not be the most suitable players, Mlxg said he didn’t understand]
The third game of the MSI semi-finals.
The game had already been going on for about nine minutes at this point.
Xu Yuan was controlling Kaisa and walking towards the line, very vigilant.
The lineup chosen this time was not four protecting one, so after gaining some advantages in the bottom lane, Meiko started roaming.
Just when he reached the first bush outside the bottom lane tower, a bubble suddenly emerged from the bush and hit Xu Yuan.
FNC's support played Nami this time.
This Q has a very obvious prediction, predicting Xu Yuan's immediate action of turning back.
However, he actually predicted it!
Xu Yuan subconsciously chose to turn back!
“Hit!?”
Nami was very surprised.
However, it was obvious that his surprise was too early.
The moment he turned around, Xu Yuan had already determined the landing point of Nami's Q bubble. Kaisa immediately used his E skill to overload the limit and moved in the opposite direction to get out of the range of the bubble.
"Shit, what kind of reaction is that?"
Pu Pu, who was watching the game, cursed subconsciously.
Although I have a good relationship with Xu Yuan and I already know Xu Yuan quite well.
But every time he saw such exaggerated operations, he still felt a little overwhelmed.
"Xiba made a mistake in his initial subconscious movement, but he immediately corrected it. Wow."
This kind of operation that relies solely on reaction, Pu Pu no longer has the confidence to perform it.
That's why he sighed.
Xu Yuan's face was calm. After pulling out of the bubble range, he directly used QA to attack Lucian who was Eing his face.
Nami's ultimate move is coming.
The next moment, Kassadin turned into a phantom and moved to the side.
Ultimate move!
Avoid Nami!
W, void search!
Hand it over instantly, hand it over immediately!
While W flashed and hit Rekkles' Lucian, he flashed out of the sweeping range of Lucian's ultimate.
Purify to remove Nami's weakness, follow up with two normal attacks to activate her passive and complete the counter-kill!
Chase Nami and get a double kill!
The whole audience was boiling.
"Fuck!"
"Isn't this too fucking calm? Ridiculously handsome!"
“Is this the Abyss God?!”
"Ou Cheng likes squatting, right? Do you still dare to squat?"
"handsome!"
Xu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, while Rekkles' face was full of regret.
You shouldn't not use flash just because you think you can definitely kill him!
The feeling of being manipulated by the opponent is so uncomfortable.
On Weibo, the popularity of hot searches continues to increase.
Somehow I've made it to the top 50.
At this time, some photos have appeared in this topic.
At first, there was dissatisfaction with EDG having too many quotas, and then there was questioning about why EDG's top and jungle players were allowed to play.
Just as the heat continued to rise, a picture was thrown out.
[Savior doesn't seem right either. Look at his expression. Why is he like that? ]
The picture shows Xu Yuan’s post-match photo of his crazy training during that period.
Xu Yuan above had a very pale face and his eyes were a little vague.
This is pure exhaustion.
However, the accompanying text hinted that something might be wrong with him.
Soon after, photos of Xu Yuan going out to sing at KTV with his teammates were also disclosed.
[Don’t look at him like this, he seems to be playing a lot, right? ]
They wiped off the faces of other contestants.
This time, the pace became faster and faster.
Next, the navy entered.
[It's nothing more than another character creation. Does anyone really believe the marketing character creation? ]
[LPL is like this, it’s always marketing, and being handsome does have its advantages. 】
[What do you mean by for LPL? It's so hypocritical. After all isn't it for making money? ]
[He looks so bad, but he still goes to KTV every day. I really don’t know what his private life is like]
After the entry of the attentive person, even though the fans who had noticed something was wrong tried their best to defend themselves, they couldn't help but start to have some doubts in their hearts.
The news of match-fixing came out a few days ago.
The audience has always been skeptical about what the contestants are like in private, and no one knows what kind of person Xu Yuan is.
So naturally, the doubts became more and more intense.
All of this was completely detonated after the so-called [Savior Schedule] appeared.
According to this itinerary, there was no news of Xu Yuan after he returned to his hometown during that period.
During this time, no one knew where he went.
The marketing account then released the next piece of information found from the police announcement.
[In Huanggang, Hubei, on x month xx, a man surnamed Xu was arrested for opening a casino. He was released after more than a month of ideological education.]
Now, the people who had already begun to suspect Xu Yuan seemed to have found crucial evidence.
"I've said it before, there can't be such an outstanding player who just stays in the club every day except for training. How is that possible?"
"I never expected that... Could it be that he won the world championship by playing Texas Hold'em every day to relieve stress?"
"They're marketing themselves as the world's best ADC every day, but no one knows how they actually achieved that status!"
"Haha, I knew he was this kind of person. How could someone train so hard?"
"It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Just because he looks good doesn't mean he is a good person. It's really disappointing."
"This is truly the world's number one, the world's number one gambler!"
"No, how can such a player still participate in the Asian Games? Ban him immediately!"
Public opinion began to get out of control.
With the help of the professional team, what was just some hearsay was like a death sentence for Xu Yuan.
The effect is surprisingly good.
This is also related to EDG’s previous publicity. They always created an image of Xu Yuan as being very perfect.
Although Xu Yuan is indeed like that, it is not particularly reasonable in the eyes of the audience.
Especially after the Condi match-fixing incident broke out some time ago, these LPL players seem to be even more untrustworthy.
Condi is not an LDL player, nor is he an unknown player.
But if even players like this are involved in match-fixing, then is it strange that other LPL players do other bad things?
So many contestants have various problems, why is it that you, Xu Yuan, have no problems at all?
Uzi will be red-hot, and Puzi will be drunk.
Where are you Xu Yuan?
Is there nothing wrong with you?
How hard do you work on marketing every day, are you really working hard?
The audience now simply doesn’t believe that such a contestant exists.
Then, everything is false.
Xu Yuan, everything about you is fake!
Now that so many "hard evidences" have come out, what else do you have to quibble about?
The haters who were already on the verge of death were now going crazy with joy.
Why did the wind direction change suddenly?
But they won't miss this opportunity.
"Is the vision ready?"
"Okay, come over and drive!"
"FNC seems a little scared, how about I sell it out?"
"Be decisive, make it to the finals, and win MSI."
Xu Yuan spoke in a calm tone.
"EDG is now in a huge advantage! It's still the familiar three-lane suppression, and the players in all three lanes are performing very well. As long as they take down the Baron, they have an 80% chance of winning!"
The commentator was filled with emotion.
EDG's dominance was clearly revealed, and they once again defeated FNC in the laning phase.
No matter which lane you go, there is a huge advantage in laning.
With their operational capabilities, such laning advantages will quickly turn into winning advantages after the laning period ends.
There is no need to say much about EDG's ability to end the game.
"EDG is so strong."
KZ coach has watched three games and his eyes are a little dry.
EDG is indeed incredibly strong.
Whether it is laning or team battle decisions, it always gives people a sense of perfection.
Coach KZ frowned and was very worried.
How can a team like this win?
The big dragon team battle begins!
Although EDG failed to use vision to ambush FNC, it also cut off FNC's possibility of fighting for punishment.
What followed was the operation of split zones.
FNC was simply unable to deal with such a tactic because they had no experience in dealing with it.
Therefore, the resources and defense towers on the side lanes began to drop continuously.
The economic situation is getting worse and worse.
Seeing that victory was almost secured, even Xu Yuan, who had always been sullen, couldn't help but smile.
"Guys, we're in the finals again."
Li Xianghe loosened his wrist.
"There's nothing much to say about KZ. I'm already researching the opponents for the summer season."
Meiko laughed.
"What a classic quote. Why do I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"
"My idol said it, great, no need to say more."
Xiaotian spoke suddenly.
"Alright, focus more and don't give them any chances. The LPL audience will definitely want us to crush them from the beginning to the end."
Xu Yuan smiled and reminded.
There was determination in his eyes.
For Xu Yuan, he used to be a viewer of LPL.
So it’s clear what the audience is thinking right now.
As long as we can win, we definitely hope that there won't be any twists and turns, and that we can finish the game as quickly as possible and get the victory.
Although the MSI championship is not as valuable as the S crown, it is equally important.
So in order not to disappoint this group of audiences, Xu Yuan could not relax at all.
Even if the opponent is FNC.
The final wave of team battle is about to begin.
Xu Yuan, who returned home to make mercury, made the final decision.
"Let's start the fight!"
Who's dragging your feet? If you can, you must open it!
This is Xu Yuan’s way of ninja.
Obviously, FNC had no way of coping with EDG's aggressive teamfighting.
Almost instantly, the double C was beaten to pieces by EDG.
The game was completely killed at this moment.
"Double C has fallen! For EDG, the game is over!"
"Three to zero. No surprises at all!"
"EDG continued their strong performance in the semi-finals and played with the dominance they deserved!"
"Click on the base and wait for the troops to arrive to end the game!"
“Now, we can already shout that sentence!”
“Congratulations, EDG!”
The commentary was very inspiring.
This is the absolute appearance of our LPL!
This is the strength a team should have!
"…GG."
In the FNC player seat, Ou Cheng smiled helplessly.
"Brothers, their strength is really too strong. No, Savior is really too strong."
He was not particularly , but he was really convinced after it.
Whether in laning or teamfights, the opponent's performance is much better than ours.
If you continue to be stubborn, you will not be able to afford to lose.
Ou Cheng is a man who can afford to lose.
"Generally, the team that wins MSI will face a different meta in the Worlds. They may be able to take revenge in the Worlds."
Jungler Broxah scratched his head and spoke with a smile.
Because I knew it would be difficult to win before the game, I wasn’t too disappointed after losing.
After all, as long as you don't hold out hope, you won't be disappointed.
"Lee Sang Hyuk, wait for me!"
Caps was not disappointed, but felt benefited a lot.
The fight with Lee Sang Hyuk made him feel stronger.
For a mid laner like Caps who dominated Europe right after his debut, the fear is not failure. The fear is not being able to see the road ahead.
So even though he lost, he acknowledged his opponent and still maintained his fighting spirit.
The only one I didn’t have much experience with was probably the top laner Bibab.
Smeb was very ruthless. In the second and third games, the Four Sisters played two and beat him.
So the gaming experience is really bad.
However, although I was beaten badly.
But he still recognizes Smeb's strength.
FNC's MSI story will probably end here.
Judging from the results, they are not the protagonists who defeat the big devil.
But there is also good news.
At least EU＞NA.
win!
The front tooth tower is broken.
Xu Yuan smiled happily.
“Push, push, push!”
"I left work early today to prepare for the finals."
Smeb looked at Bibabu who was already certain to fail but was still pestering him, and he couldn't help but get a little angry.
"Let me tear down a tower!"
The game is about to end and you have lost both your Cs.
You don’t even want your family anymore, so why are you coming to bother me?
“Make it to the finals!”
“Make it to the finals!”
“We made it to the finals!”
Xu Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes brighter than ever before.
Every time he reaches the finals, that is when he is most excited.
Finally...
Did it live up to everyone’s expectations?
However, Xu Yuan didn't know.
At the same time, a new hot search on Weibo in China has jumped to the top of the hot searches.
#Savior withdraws from the Asian Games!
The shocking online troll army led the audience who did not know the truth to frantically post the following sentence on this trending search:
“Quit the Asian Games!”
“Quit the Asian Games!”
“Quit the Asian Games!”
As the middle-aged man stood up, a shadow covered Xu Yuan's happy face on the screen in the bright office.
The middle-aged man smiled.
"Public opinion has already risen."
“I’m curious, what kind of twists and turns will there be?”
"I guess it's gone."
He stared at Xu Yuan's face and turned off the screen indifferently.
"Don't blame me."
"Xu Yuan, you can't participate in this Asian Games!"
The door was closed.
Everything seems to have been settled.
