“It’s still a big problem.”
This was the only thought Xu Yuan had at the moment.
There's nothing we can do. Although the last victory over JDG was somewhat due to luck, it was still three to one.
This time, facing JDG who came up again, EDG, which had been training madly during this period, was dragged into the deciding game.
Even compared to the last lucky win, this win is more real.
However...it's not enough.
Xu Yuan clearly remembered that when T1 faced JDG in the World Championship, they beat them 3 to 1.
We controlled the rhythm throughout the entire game, and every operation and team battle in the early and mid-game was almost perfect.
Yes, early to mid-term.
It’s a bit strange to say, but the LPL used to be able to beat the LCK only in the early and mid-term, but when it came to the mid-to-late stage of operation, it would be shattered at the slightest touch.
But now, it is the LCK teams that are playing in the early and mid-game, while many LPL teams have embarked on the path of operations.
This change, which seems like a tactical change, is really outrageous.
Xu Yuan knew very well that if he wanted to compete with T1 in the early and mid-game team battles, his chances of winning were very low.
But as for delaying it to the later stages… the chances are also slim.
The only areas where EDG is not much different from T1 are vision and teamfighting.
In terms of laning and operations, they are basically no match.
Xu Yuan is already abnormal enough. The attribute panel clearly shows all the full values. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a cosmic-level AD. He is a player with no flaws in the true sense.
However, League of Legends has ultimately become a team game.
The gap between professional players has been narrowed down with the arrival of the mythical version.
Even if the laning phase is bad, creating a myth will not be of no use at all.
Given EDG’s current situation, the only way to beat T1 is to use Xu Yuan alone against five.
Is it possible?
"I really hope my life is a brainless and cool novel..."
Looking at the falling fireworks, Xu Yuan expressed such emotion.
If it's a brainless and cool story, what T1 and Lee Sang Hyuk, isn't beating them the same as beating a dog?
Fofo standing next to him: …
Bro, don’t be like this, your life is already really great!
From Fofo's perspective, he totally couldn't understand Xu Yuan's thoughts.
Isn’t such an achievement satisfying?
If his father had been able to win the championship when he debuted at the age of seventeen, he would have been a huge success now.
I must sleep with two Taiwanese girls every night, not one less!
At this moment, Fozi showed a very subtle expression, just like Sa Beining who heard Jack Ma say that he was not interested in money.
I really like what the veteran singer Na Ying said:
Damn, I hate people who pretend to be cool the most!
As the EDG players held up the Silver Dragon Cup, the two old men in the backstage lit mosquito coils at the same time.
"call……"
Mingkai exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes showing a mixture of relief and guilt.
"In the end, Yuanzi still had to shoulder the heavy burden."
As a former professional player, MingKai is well aware that EDG still has many problems.
At least it can't be compared with the strength of the lineup in the previous championships.
So what if we win the summer championship?
The LCK next door is not easy to deal with.
The short-lived glory and brilliance at this moment is actually just a fragile bubble that will burst in an instant with just a slight poke.
How miserable will Yuanzi be by then?
Mingkai was really worried.
Now he has retired and is married.
The number of active players I know is decreasing.
As for Xu Yuan, he has watched him grow from S7 to where he is today.
Also, the redeemer who brought him to the highest honor podium.
Mingkai only has gratitude and love for him.
This is also the reason why after the Leave incident, even though he had Xu Yuan's WeChat, he would rather choose to contact Uzi than Xu Yuan.
Because Mingkai knows very well.
This EDG...even with Xu Yuan, it will be difficult for them to make it to the end of the World Championship.
Does a story that is destined to have a bad ending have to begin?
As for whether doing this will harm Uzi?
Not really.
Mingkai has communicated with Uzi.
Uzi doesn't care about this, he just wants to try again and he's unwilling to give up.
But Xu Yuan is different, he has a strong desire to win.
However, Mingkai didn't say anything, and Xu Yuan still chose to come back.
Mingkai watched him bring EDG to its current situation, and while he was pleased, he was also increasingly worried.
If I lose... Yuanzi, how sad will it be?
"Alas, I can't stop it."
Abu coughed a few times awkwardly before speaking.
He actually doesn't light mosquito coils very often, but when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but take one out.
If Mingkai knew it, how could Abu not know it?
But Abu knew better that even if he told Xu Yuan about this, Xu Yuan still wouldn't care.
His answer could only be one:
Can't beat him? I don't believe it.
This is Xu Yuan, a player who never knows how to write the word "give up".
Dare to criticize Uzi as soon as he debuted!
Two championships in two years since debut!
The first and only FMVP player in the AD position!
Savior, Xu Yuan.
Abu knew Xu Yuan too well, so it was useless for him to explain clearly.
"At this point, our burden has become much heavier."
Abu spoke softly.
He has been in management for a long time and decided to start helping Mingkai and Maokai with analysis.
"After I go back, I must watch as many videos of T1 and GenG as possible and analyze as many of their habits and tactics as possible."
He patted his cheek and said seriously.
"Some are busy during this period."
"Since he has chosen to persist, there is no reason for us to surrender."
Mingkai was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
The corners of his mouth raised and he nodded slightly.
"Um."
Since Xu Yuan has chosen to persevere, why is he worrying about it?
Isn’t it just T1 and GenG?
You're done for if we don't do anything to you, call them over here!
As the photo froze, the two old men walked onto the stage with a smile and stood around the Silver Dragon Cup with the contestants.
Under the silver sky that was shining brightly, the handsome young man looked calmly, raised his head slightly and looked into the distance with a smile on his face.
Around him.
Ale smiled like Lu Benwei, put one arm on his shoulder, and stroked the trophy reluctantly with the other hand.
Meiko put her head next to the trophy and smiled happily.
Jiejie put his hands behind his back, pretending to be an expert, with a calm expression.
Fofo pushed his glasses gently and smiled brightly.
Mingkai, Abu Mauke and the other two stood around the contestants like door gods, all of them put their hands in their pockets, looked sideways at the camera, and surrounded the contestants in the center.
Click.
The Polaroid camera captured this scene. The photographer took the photo with satisfaction, took out a marker, and carefully wrote a line of words.
[2023 League of Legends Summer Championship, EDG]
He blew twice, carefully placed the photo in a transparent plastic box, and showed a satisfied look.
This is one of the precious scenes of LPL.
After a short break, Xu Yuan and Meiko took to the stage.
No matter how Xu Yuan refused, the LPL official asked him to take part in this interview.
Because in this BO5, Xu Yuan's performance was obvious to all.
If we change to any other ADC in the world, I am afraid it would be impossible to play the entire BO5 game without making any mistakes or giving any chances.
Only in this way can we defeat a strong team like JDG in the summer of 23.
But Xu Yuan did it.
So he doesn't want to be interviewed?
That's impossible.
If EDG has a celebratory dinner after the game, no one would dare to eat unless Xu Yuan is there!
After greeting as usual, the host Yu Shuang also asked with a smile.
"You won the LPL Summer Championship and are now the No. 1 seed for LPL in the World Championship. What do you want to say about this?"
Xu Yuan took the microphone, thought for a moment, and smiled:
"I'm already studying my opponents for the S game."
Instantly, there was silence in the audience, followed by a burst of cheerful laughter.
There was also laughter on the barrage.
"What a classic EDG trash talk! You still say you are not the EDG prince?"
"The reincarnation of the spirit boy of Li Er La Wu!"
"What do you mean by EDG's real prince? Even our trash talk is a perfect replica!"
"Mingkai, take off your mask. I know it's you."
"I heard that 777 passed on all his life's skills to Yuanzi. So what he passed on was the skill of trash talking?"
"The factory is still teaching! Teach, teach, teach the Bull Demon's reward!"
Ming Kai, who was standing in the audience, also twitched his mouth. His usually lifeless eyes couldn't help but curve and he couldn't help but smile.
"You little brat..."
Did Yuanzi learn Sylas's ultimate? How come he stole my trash talk too!
Yu Shuang almost couldn't hold it in, but fortunately her good manners allowed her to maintain her expression, so she had to continue asking with an awkward but polite smile:
"So what kind of expectations does our Savior player have for the upcoming World Championship?"
"expect?"
Xu Yuan was confused for a moment.
“It’s just what kind of results I hope to get.”
Yu Shuang added.
"Um……"
Xu Yuan thought about it and calmly raised the microphone.
"If I don't win the championship, it will be a failure for me."
There was silence again in the audience, followed by thunderous cheers.
Today’s audiences are no longer the same group as those of S7 and S8, and therefore their reactions to Xu Yuan’s words were particularly strong .
We have never seen anything so crazy!
"I'm Chao, Yuan!"
"He is still the same Kuang Xiaoyuan. He hasn't changed at all!"
"This is why I like Yuanzi, successful people come out to get beaten!"
"Don't be so mean, JDG made it to the finals, which is a big success for Xiaoshou."
"Are you really that confident? Yuanzi, don't make any mistakes. Mom is afraid!"
The composition of barrage is still complex.
Many passers-by actually appreciated Xu Yuan's harsh words, but quite a few of them turned directly into cowardly lizards.
EDG has been in a miserable state in the past two years. Only now after Xu Yuan's return has it regained some of its former glory.
Today's pig offal is like a rich man whose family has fallen into poverty. After finally getting his career back on track, it is difficult for him to be as wild as before.
In a word:
If they win, then EDG and Xu Yuan are awesome.
Lost the fight?
Cut directly!
On the contrary, Yuan Za has always had the same attitude towards Xu Yuan:
believe!
Just believe it and it's all.
After the interview, Yu Shuang was sweating profusely.
Xu Yuan answered the question very well. Next time EDG should not let him answer the question. Thank you.
And now, it is the final stage of today.
Departure ceremony!
With the summer season champion decided, the four teams that will compete in the world championship are finally determined.
No. 1 seed: EDG
Second seed: JDG
Third seed: BLG
Fourth seed: WBG
Yes, the bubble match was completed a few days ago.
Because JDG was the champion in the spring, and EDG’s ranking in the spring season is actually not low.
Therefore, the final actually only affects who will be the number one seed between JDG and EDG, and does not affect the quota for the World Championship.
The runner-up of the summer season will get a full 110 points.
If JDG wins, then EDG will be the second seed.
On the contrary, if EDG beat JDG, they would become the second seed.
In the bubble match stage, BLG defeated LNG and won the third seed spot.
WBG also defeated LNG, which lost to BLG, with the wonderful performance of Xiaohu and won the last ticket.
LNG was eliminated and sold two tickets!
The reason why LNG, which originally adapted to the version, was beaten so badly...
This brings us to Xu Yuan.
After his inhumane slaughter of LNG's bottom lane, LNG's bottom lane was completely stunned.
Gala was conservative in laning phase to begin with, and became more and more stable as the game progressed.
This directly resulted in Lao Zan being unable to compete for the little dragon every time, and he could only give up three dragons and try his best to control the vanguard.
But what if I got the vanguard?
Zika is a complete noob who only knows how to fight in laning mode but is useless in team fights.
It would be useless even if Lao Zan helped.
He is completely a toy of Bin and Theshy.
Theshy in the summer of 2023 is a master of all trades. As long as he gets a hero he can play and receives help from the team, he will have a chance to perform effectively.
I have to say...
Compared to his generally bad S11 season, he played really well in S13.
But it’s just good, and his strength still doesn’t live up to his popularity.
If his ability was really as high as his fans think, he wouldn't have been beaten to the point of 16 by Zeus.
Theshy tried his best in the semi-finals, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was the best one.
But rather than saying Theshy played well...
To be honest, Bin was a genius in that BO5, and he found various ways to show his filial piety to his father Shy.
Theshy is now very bad at laning.
But his ability to grab the damage position in team battles is innate.
The output is still good, but it is easy to send.
And what about Zika?
It was useless even if he helped.
So LNG naturally couldn't beat WBG and was happily sent away by WBG.
When Xu Yuan was watching this game, he did not mourn for S13's LNG for a moment, but directly started opening champagne for S14's LNG.
Why?
Because according to Xu Yuan's expectation, if LNG entered the world competition, Lao Zan would most likely have to play in the resurrection match.
And without Lao Zan, LNG is just a stinking pile of shit.
Now that LNG failed to make it to the World Championship, wouldn't Lao Zan, who did his best, have saved his job?
If LNG was still there in S14, at least they wouldn't have fallen into the situation where it was difficult to even make the playoffs.
This is a definite win-win situation!
However, what Xu Yuan didn't expect was——
When he was familiar with the LNG super topic and was ready to watch XMM's wonderful performance, he was struck by lightning at the opening.
"Everyone has his own dreams, and they are all wonderful."
Xu Yuan: ...
He leaned back slightly, squinting his glasses to reveal the expression of an old man on his subway phone.
On his Huawei 14promax1t version, it was Laozan’s stern face.
Laozan: Kids, this is not funny.
Xu Yuan: Ah?
He never dreamed that...
Even if LNG didn't go to the World Championship, Lao Zan was still killed!
And judging from this situation, Lao Zan’s kill line has become higher!
What the hell is going on?
There is no problem in playing in the playoffs.
You have no advantage in the bottom lane and can't provide support in the middle lane, so why should the jungler control the little dragon?
After taking a quick look at the LNG super topic, Xu Yuan understood.
ok.
This wave, this wave is all done .
It's not just Xmm who is making efforts.
Gala fans did it too.
As if to cover up the loss of the dragon due to the disadvantage in the bottom lane, Gala's fans started to change the subject directly after the game, questioning why Lao Zan was always strolling around and not ganking the bottom or mid lane.
Xmm and the others don’t care whether the bottom lane is ganked or not, but Laozan rarely goes to the middle lane.
Now, they finally got the chance to vent.
What? There is no lane in the middle and bottom, and the dragon cannot be controlled?
That’s because your jungler is shopping!
If you help the middle and bottom more, then won't we be able to get the line control in the middle and bottom?
You bastard, you’re always busy farming in the jungle. Go get a spa now!
Not only was Lao Zan badly hurt, but LNG's coach was also unfortunately hit.
Next time I want to see him, the bgm will probably have to be changed to see you again.
Xu Yuan took a special look at the announcement of Lao Zan's departure from KTV, and focused on the comments with more intense words:
"Good grief! You finally left! You stayed with us in LNG for so long, you didn't really think we couldn't make it to the World Championship without you!"
"In fact, this beastly jungler is the biggest obstacle preventing LNG from reaching the World Championship! Get out of here now!"
"Useless jungler, get out with your useless coach!"
"Go, go, go! Hurry up and get me a new coach. Doesn't the water ghost next door always say that White Crescent's BP is not good? Please send White Crescent over quickly. White Crescent is better than this useless coach!"
"This is how a team is run by a water ghost. Whenever I see Top Esports scolding the coach after losing a game, I know that one of Top Esports' ADs has died suddenly again."
"It would be best if we could get our bottom lane White Moonlight support Ma Lao to come over. Hang is terrible at playing, and it has to be the first love combination! Gala and Mark should be in the top three in LPL at the very least!"
Looking at these comments, even someone as calm as Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yuan: Tight.
Ok, you like the white crescent and Mark, right?
Top Esports will give it to you next season!
Prefer to pick up? Here you go!
LNG's fans actually treat these two pieces of junk as treasures.
Xu Yuan was really unable to hold back.
Especially the white crescent, it's really exaggerated.
There are not many games that Xu Yuan remembers vividly.
But he still remembered that in the Force of Nature version, after the opponent clearly wanted to choose a weapon, White Crescent still confidently made a Ziggs AD.
Although EDG’s current coach Maokai is not a particularly good guy.
But at least Maokai didn't make any particularly outrageous mistakes in BP, and he was also willing to listen to the opinions of the players, especially the core player Xu Yuan.
Only Xu Yuan’s horse’s head is the saddle.
Don't talk about formulas or not.
If you don’t know how to BP, don’t learn how to BP from others!
Even if you just follow the formula, sometimes it's damned better than all those weird ideas that White Crescent had in the past!
Xu Yuan took screenshots page by page, planning to send them to A Shui next year when LNG is struggling on the edge of the playoffs.
Good things should be shared!
S14 is truly the first year of the boomerang.
[Those who wash 369, go to your home team! ] It is also a timeless classic.
Maybe some water ghosts will say:
I didn't wash 369, why did he come to my home team?
Little-known fact: the water ghost didn’t wash, but the brother himself did.
great,______!
Xu Yuan looked at the comments for a while and was not surprised to see a lot of ridicule for 369.
The most common word is:
[Goryeo Shield]!
To be honest, this is a bit disgusting.
There were many Korean ADs in LPL before, including LGD's bottom lane imp, WE's Mystic, and EDG's former Deft.
These are all Korean ADs.
They also have a lot of tanky players in the top lane, such as Audi and Tong Yang.
Why doesn't anyone say that these people are the Shield of Goryeo?
69 was indeed a bit unlucky. He was disgusted for no reason.
It's like stepping on a pile of sticky dog ​​poop on the side of the road.
Perhaps the dissatisfaction of JDG fans towards him is also one of the reasons why he chose to return to Top Esports and become the "Chinese Heavy Artillery" in S14.
Xu Yuan really likes the current barrage.
This pungent smell of shit is the authentic taste of LPL!
"I'm leaving."
Meiko patted his shoulder, Xu Yuan nodded, and followed his teammates onto the stage.
The departure ceremony has begun.
At this moment, ESPN headquarters far away was also busy.
LOL department.
"Oh, Dennis, I'm warning you, if you leave your used toilet paper on the table again, I will actually call the sexual harassment organization."
A white woman looked at the unknown white sticky liquid on the toilet paper on the table with a disgusted expression.
"Hey Tris, trust me, my yogurt just spilled and I just wiped it with paper."
The white man with glasses remained calm and crumpled up the toilet paper and threw it into the trash can.
Trish frowned and held out her hand.
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
"Have you finished compiling the data and rankings of the top 20 players and teams that Director Trevor asked you to compile?"
"Of course, of course."
Dennis pushed the document beside him, then picked up the coffee and took a sip, then nodded gracefully.
Trish picked up the document and read it carefully.
It has to be said that Dennis is indeed very familiar with the teams in all major regions, and most of the rankings seem very reasonable in the eyes of a senior editor like Tracy who is well versed in the e-sports industry.
However, Tris feels that some rankings are debatable.
"You ranked GenG as the world's No. 1 team. There is no problem with that. After all, GenG is still the champion of the LCK Summer Split."
“Even if T1 fans question us, we can respond and gain some popularity from it.”
Tris first affirmed Dennis's arrangement for the first place, but then raised questions.
"T1 is second, so there's no problem with that."
"But why did EDG get third place?"
Dennis glanced at her and asked:
"Why not?"
"EDG defeated JDG and BLG. These two teams are the two teams in the MSI finals. Doesn't this prove EDG's strength?"
"I even wanted to rank EDG second."
Tris showed a helpless expression.
"That's reasonable, but the MSI version is very different from the Worlds version."
“These two teams can’t beat EDG. Is it possible that they have become weaker?”
She shrugged and said in a teasing tone.
"After all, you and I both know that LPL is a very magical region."
"Whether they are the final champion or not, one or two of their teams will suffer a setback in the World Championship."
I guess even the old LPL viewers couldn't hold back after hearing this.
Dennis thought for a moment and nodded.
"What you said makes sense, so let's put EDG in second place and move T1 back."
Trish:?
Amenos!
You idiot, don't you understand what people are saying?
Dennis spoke eloquently about his reasons.
As an e-sports media, ESPN is all about popularity and not the mother.
Since everyone is questioning EDG now, wouldn’t it be great to just move EDG’s ranking forward?
In this case... the popularity will definitely be high!
If EDG loses, it’s none of their business.
Predictions are just predictions, not just a few tricks.
It is normal to make mistakes in predictions!
If EDG wins...
That's even better.
They, ESPN, can just turn themselves into the guy who seeks credit!
By then, all you can say is “I told you! I told you!”
Dennis is an old friend, he is very good at this.
Tris was shocked.
She had to admit that although this guy was a bit creepy, he was indeed capable enough to stay in the headquarters.
After making some fine-tuning, Tracy put the team rankings aside and started looking at the list of TOP20 players.
After reading it, she raised her eyebrows and threw the list to his
"Is this part of your plan?"
At the top of the list was Xu Yuan with a bright smile.
The rankings are marked in red boxes:
TOP1!
Tracy guessed that this was also part of Dennis's plan to stir up public opinion.
It's because Dennis' praise for the player named Savior seemed a bit too exaggerated.
TOP1: Savioor
Nationality: CHINA
Age: 22
Location: ADCarry
Team: EDG
evaluate:
【Savior, a former legend.
It is difficult for us to describe him with specific adjectives.
Young and famous? No, this is just the beginning for him.
Peak at debut? No, he has always been at the peak.
Arrogant? No, he did everything he said he would do.
In 2018, after winning the S8 finals, Savior chose to temporarily leave the game. Everything seemed to be over at this time, and the story seemed to have come to an end.
However, people overlooked one thing.
Savior said that he was leaving temporarily.
Four years later, when the EDG team that once accompanied him to win the championship and became famous was once again caught up in turmoil and quagmire, this sharp sword that was so sharp in his youth once again flashed a chilling light.
Four years is enough time to defeat the strongest professional players.
However, in the face of the power of time, the former legend once again let the world know what a legend is.
The average output per minute is the highest in the world, the economic lead in the fifteen-minute matchup is the highest in the world, and the output share is the highest in the world...
This is the perfect answer given by this legendary player who has been away from the court for four years.
We may not be able to imagine how much hardship and pain he went through in these four years.
But we know very well that without the desire for the game and the pursuit of the championship, the monster named Savior will never be able to tear apart the bottom lane of LPL four years later.
Now he leads the team and once again wins the honor of LPL's No. 1 seed, looking forward to the world championship with great ambition.
Savior, fate cannot defeat you.
Because, you are the man who crawled back from hell. 】
"No."
Faced with Tris's guess, Dennis smiled and shook his head.
“It’s just because I really admire him.”
His expression turned serious.
"This guy is just so strong!"
