Chapter 129 Unexpected Change
"Pack up and get ready to go to the scene."
As reminded by Abu.
Xu Mo responded, then hummed a little tune and started to pack up.
If you ask him about his mood, he is still looking forward to it.
After all, this is the first time Xu Mo has gone to the scene since time travel...
However, as a time traveler, he probably also knows the final result of this game.
If nothing else, EDG will kill NB with a clean 3:0, cutting off NB's dream of going further in the playoffs. In terms of lineup, NB's lineup is actually quite good this season. Among them, their adc player is one of the protagonists of S9 Phoenix Nirvana - Big Eyebrow lwx.
It's just that in S7, he was still a little shrimp who was not favored by others.
The record of the entire NB team is also unsatisfactory and completely inconsistent with their paper strength.
But there are no weak teams in the playoffs.
Yesterday's game is the best proof.
After Xu Mo tidied up casually, as soon as he left the house, he saw A Guang coming out with dark circles under his eyes and yawning.
Looking at Ah Guang who was feeling empty, Xu Mo immediately became happy and said with a smile:
"Brother Guang, please be careful, your health is important!"
"Damn it, I just didn't sleep well. When I thought about the playoffs last night, my mouth twitched and I couldn't sleep!" Aguang cursed, "I finally fell asleep. I just closed my eyes not long ago. , and was called by the coach! ”
Hearing this, Xu Mo joked: "Then I will check your trash can later."
"!!" A Guang's expression was startled: "Why are you looking at my trash can, you're a pervert!"
"I really went to see Austria!"
"Don't!" A Guang hurriedly grabbed Xu Mo.
After this slapstick, A Guang's nervousness also eased a lot.
Last year, Aguang was in his first year on the lpl.
Others jokingly call him the light of the top laner, and to be honest, his journey to the World Championship is also full of blackness, a memory that he himself does not want to recall.
In the first few games of the World Championship, he did not perform very well, and it can be said that he became a breakthrough for EDG! After just a few games, something happened at home, and Koro, who had never played a training match before, temporarily replaced him.
There are rumors in the outside world that he was carried down by EDG with a chair because he was too bad at playing. His father passed away, which was just an excuse.
All kinds of attacks are rampant.
Those days were black for A Guang.
The sky is also dark.
Cheer up though.
But this time in the playoffs, he also wanted to prove himself. Regardless of his performance in the regular season, the playoffs and even the World Championship are when the popularity is highest, and that is the real battlefield for the players.
But the arrival of Xu Mo——
It was like putting a 'pressure lock' on him.
Xu Mo also understood in his heart.
Later generations' evaluation of this period of lpl is that the top lane position is the position with the biggest gap from lck. For the current top laners, ‘just don’t crash’ is not just a joke, but a true portrayal.
Xu Mo also knew clearly that Aguang's career in EDG ended with regret. Then I went to RW, and although I proved a little bit that I was not a simple anti-stress guy, that was it.
Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.
Especially the career path.
After all, there are only a few successful people. Most people are just tiny gravels on the beach and clouds floating in the sky, small and easily forgotten.
While thinking about miscellaneous things, everyone in EDG gathered together and boarded the bus.
……
After arriving at the competition site.
Xu Mo and the others came to the lounge.
There are many things to do on the eve of the game. The game does not start after arriving at the scene. Generally, you have to arrive at the game site some time in advance.
As soon as Xu Mo and the others entered the lounge, put down their backpacks, and connected the keyboard and mouse to the computer in the lounge, a young lady walked in.
“Everyone come with me to put on makeup!”
The factory director and the others were already familiar with this process and followed the makeup artist directly.
Xu Mo also followed suit.
The person who put on makeup for him was a round-faced girl. Seeing Xu Mo's expression, she was a little nervous. She looked like a novice.
"Um, brother, do you have any styles you want to create?" the young lady said timidly.
"Do you know me?" Xu Mo tilted his head and looked at the girl next to him.
"You are famous now!" The girl played with Xu Mo's hair and smiled sweetly, "I used to watch your live broadcasts, and it made me laugh to death!"
"Know me? That'll be easy!"
"Uh..."
Under the puzzled look of the young lady, Xu Mo took out his phone and opened a picture that he had prepared a long time ago.
"Can I do this look?"
The young lady blinked: "Are you sure... you want to do this look?"
"Haha, it's not over yet!"
Xu Mo swiped his hand and slid to the second picture.
"Can I wear this makeup?"
"Uh uh uh, this..."
The young lady looked at the picture and was stunned.
"This is not good..." The young lady hesitated to speak, looking very hesitant.
[Get shock value +1 from Zhao Shu]
[Get excitement value +1 from Zhao Shu]
Xu Mo looked at the troubled Zhao Shu in the mirror.
"That's all!" Xu Mo chuckled, "Only in this way can I show my unruly soul!"
"I, I don't care!"
Zhao Shu looked desperate, and at the same time, her hands began to work quickly on Xu Mo's face.
There is quite a feeling of ‘I obviously don’t want to, but you are too enthusiastic, officer, so I have to comply in the end’.
After more than ten minutes, the makeup Xu Mo requested gradually took shape.
In the dressing room, there were sudden sounds of surprise.
Factory Director: "What the hell, Xu Mo, what are you doing?"
Meiko: "I'll go, Brother Mozi, what's your look like?"
Everyone in EDG looked at Xu Mo's outfit in shock.
His face now has a large painted face, and his original appearance is almost unrecognizable.
[Get shock value +10 from the factory director]
[Get shock value +10 from Meiko]
[Get shock value +10 from scout]
[Get shock value +10 from zet]
The factory director and Meiko looked at Xu Mo blankly.
The two players from Kimchi Country also seemed to be petrified, with deep doubts in their eyes——
Is this a custom of the Dragon Kingdom?
Or the consecration ceremony before the game?
Aguang grinned widely and laughed: "Okay, brother, I think this look is okay, it's awesome! It's so handsome!"
"That's not the case." Xu Mo nodded.
The reason why Xu Mo wanted to be like this was to harvest a wave of emotional value. So far, the effect is pretty good.
If Abu can let himself play, the effect will probably be explosive!
After a while, the factory director raised his forehead and said: "Xu Mo, just wait to be scolded by Abu..."
Xu Mo smiled and looked at his own image in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.
If you go out with this look, are you afraid that you won't get any emotional value?
Receive it immediately!
Over there, Zhao Shu was also sprayed with a bloody spray.
But looking at Zhao Shu's expression, she was excited and nervous, as if she had done something extraordinary.
Xu Mo chuckled, "It's a good relationship. From now on, I won't have to worry about having no one around before the game."
At this time, Abu just walked in.
"Have you put on your makeup? If it's done, we'll go first...I'll go, Xu Mo, what's going on?"
As soon as he came in, Abu looked at Xu Mo in disbelief, and his voice suddenly became shrill!
"Are you handsome?" Xu Mo smiled.
"I..."
Abu's lips were trembling: "You are so handsome! Get it off right away!"
[Get shock value +20 from Abu]
His shock value was a bit higher than others, which showed the impact Xu Mo's painted face had on Abu.
"Uh, but I just finished it, can't I keep it for a while?" Xu Mo tried to persuade Abu.
"You..." Abu sighed, "Do you know that our EDG is very strict about the external image management of our team members? We have strict requirements on clothing, hairstyle, image, every inch!"
"You..."
Just when Abu was about to squirt at Xu Mo, a familiar figure walked in from outside.
"What are you arguing about?"
It is EDG's boss, Ed Zhu.
This is the first game of the EDG playoffs. As one of the most humane owners in the world of LoL and the one who loves the club the most, there is no way he will not be present!
"Boss!" Abu immediately said angrily when he saw Ed Zhu, "Look at Xu Mo! This man must have a mental problem!"
Ed Zhu almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he saw it.
"Fuck!"
[Get shock value +10 from Ed Zhu]
"Boss!" Xu Mo chuckled and stood up.
"I'm sorry, boss, I'll ask him to take off his fake face now!" Abu apologized quickly.
Unexpectedly, Ed Zhu burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha! This is Xu Mo? Let's leave it like this, no need to take it off! Just play like this when the time comes!" Ed Zhu laughed, "Isn't this fun? The audience also likes to watch it, which adds to the entertainment effect! It can also Add some heat, not bad, not bad!”
Ed Zhu actually said two good ones in a row.
Everyone blinked.
The boss actually agreed? Haven't scolded him yet?
"Hehe, thank you boss!" Xu Mo said with a smile.
"Why don't you guys follow suit? Our club will be trending on searches tomorrow!" Ed Zhu joked with a smile.
The factory director and others shook their heads hurriedly.
"No no no!"
"I absolutely don't want it!"
The refusal was very straightforward.
"Stained." Ed Zhu looked very regretful.
Abu looked at Xu Mo, who had a big painted face, and then at his boss Zhu Aide, with a complicated expression.
He didn't expect that the boss actually agreed.
It’s so outrageous!
……
Return to the lounge.
Xu Mo and the others each had a computer and first turned on the training mode to warm up their hands.
Xu Mo faced the dummy and practiced Lucian's combos there.
With Lucian's permanent and skillful control, this combo was very easy to perform, which made Xu Mo very satisfied.
But he was thinking, can he play today?
To say there is no chance is not necessarily true.
After all, he was signed by EDG at a high price. It is very likely that in the case of 2:0, it is not impossible for him to play a small game.
While practicing, Abramovich was still talking about the tactical layout of this game, hero selection, eye position, and the opponent's operating habits, etc.
Xu Mo listened very seriously and was always ready to perform.
A professional player's worth is earned by himself. If he does not perform well in the limited opportunities to play, it will be more difficult to play in the future. The reputation that he has worked hard to achieve before may be reversed all of a sudden.
That's what public opinion is like, it can be adjusted to the changing circumstances.
Xu Mo also knows very well that he is only famous in the rankings.
When it comes to the competition, it is estimated that many people will still question themselves.
After Abu finished setting up, it was almost time to play.
"Don't underestimate your opponents, but don't overestimate them too much. We are EDG, the king of LPL! As long as we show our strength and play steadily, we will definitely win this game!" Finally, he said, "Let us They see your strength!”
"Let's go!"
Xu Mo also felt excited after hearing this.
Meiko and the others came on stage with their own equipment.
It is worth mentioning that the jungler on the field today is not the factory director, but EDG's substitute jungler, Ai Loli.
When Xu Mo came to EDG before, Ai Luoli went home for three days on leave and didn't meet her.
The game started today, and Ai Luoli came directly to the field.
In the lounge, Xu Mo and the factory director stayed on the bench and could only watch the game.
Seeing that the game hadn't started yet, Xu Mo turned on his phone.
I sent a text message to my cheap sister Xiaoling.
"Xiao Ling, brother has already arrived at the competition site, and you will get the signing fee soon. You can buy whatever you want. Brother Qian is not lacking here!"
"I'll transfer 500,000 to you when I go back in two days. I'll buy some good food for my parents. I'll also take my mother to the hospital for a check-up. There are some things that you don't need to save, you know?"
After a while, Xiaoling replied to him:
"Well, don't worry, brother."
Although she said this, Xu Mo also knew that she probably wouldn't buy anything for a while.
Only when the money really comes into their hands and they really gain a foothold in lpl, will they really believe in him and really dare to rely on him.
Let’s do it step by step.
……
After Xu Mo sent two text messages, the game on the field had already begun.
The lineups on both sides have just been selected.
EDG’s lineup is:
Top order: Wine Barrel - Gragas
Jungler: Outlaw - Graves
Mid laner: Clockwork Demon——Orianna
adc: Explorer - Ezreal
Support: Apocalypse——Karma
NB’s lineup is:
Top order: Prince Jarvan IV of Demacia.
Jungler: Spider Queen——Elise
Mid laner: Mechanical Pioneer——Victor
adc: Maw of the Abyss - Kog'Maw
Assist: Fairy Witch——Lulu
EDG has a pull-type map control operation lineup.
NB is a lineup that focuses on rhythm and group initiating.
What EDG should pay attention to here is how to avoid battles, avoid the spider's strong period, and use the advantage of pulling in the early and mid-term of the lineup to maximize the resources in the wild area and end the game in the mid-term.
The most important thing is not to be at a disadvantage in the early stage.
Once they are at a disadvantage in the early stage, it is easy for NB to be delayed until the later stage. When the time comes for a head-on battle, EDG will not be easy to fight.
With Lulu's protection, unless the barrel blows Big Mouth back, EDG's lineup will not have any means to deal with Big Mouth. The output of Big Mouth is something EDG cannot bear.
NB is betting on the spider's rhythm in the early stage.
In this game, the offense and defense of the jungle areas on both sides in the early stage will be extremely important.
Of course, Xu Mo already knew the result of the game, so he wasn't too nervous.
Follow the normal timeline.
Although this spider tried its best to find things to do, all of them were resolved by EDG, and there was no achievement in the early and mid-term. At the same time, his active attack failed, which also cost him a lot of time, and his development was far behind the male gun.
The male gun only needs to do one thing, brush, and that's it.
The stunted spider is obviously not qualified to compete with the male gun for wild area resources. Teammates without an advantage cannot compete with EDG's two strong wingers for control of the river.
In the early stage, the strength of their bottom lane duo was not at the same level.
EDG's ez plus Kalma combination will gain absolute line rights.
In the end, the game also ended in the mid-term.
Normally this is the case——
But...
The situation seems to be different from what was imagined.
Xu Mo looked at the game on the screen and frowned.
The game on the screen has just reached three and a half minutes.
The red spider on NB's side cleared the jungle area and moved all the way to the bottom lane. Crouching on the grass in the river, a cocoon appeared in a flash. ez did not react and was controlled by the cocoon. Then Lulu flashed into a sheep, and Big Mouth followed up the output.
With the outburst of the three people, they actually drank ez to death.
Even if ez used all his double moves, he still couldn't save his life.
Spider dodged and took down ez's head with a flat a.
ez didn't come with purification, so this gave Spider a chance.
Although the remaining Karma managed to escape, half of his blood was knocked out. It can be said that this wave of blood loss!
Abu next to him had a solemn expression and didn't look good.
"How can you be caught to death in this wave?"
"They probably didn't expect that the spider would really be captured at level 3." Xu Mo said, "Normally, the opponent's Big Mouth Lulu doesn't have the ability to take the initiative, and ez is more flexible. The best option for the spider is not to capture it."
"The only mistake was that zet was not focused enough. Normally, even if a spider flashes and forms a cocoon, his ez is enough to react to hand over e, or flash away."
Xu Mo shook his head.
Abu and the factory director also shook their heads slightly.
Just like Xu Mo said.
Zet's reaction was a little slow, and he probably didn't expect that the other side would catch him like this.
"Something's wrong." After watching this, Xu Mo thought to himself, "Normally speaking, spider level 3 does not have a rhythm."
He had a vague premonition in his heart.
Could it be that his arrival changed certain events?
The subsequent games just confirmed Xu Mo's thoughts.
NB's jungle spider caught people several times in succession, with great results.
The top, middle, and bottom players were each killed once. At the 8-minute mark of the game, the head gap was reduced to three.
Abu's expression was already serious.
If the spider is allowed to continue to gain momentum like this, the development cycle of NB will be greatly shortened, and the strong period will come earlier. EDG's lineup focuses on equipment suppression. If there is no equipment advantage, how can they compete for resources?
There is no need to fight in the later stage.
Later, although the male gun counterattacked several times, with the spider's equipment advantage, the male gun was no match for 2v2. The spider's head count continued to increase, and it even issued a murder letter and walked sideways in the wild area.
It was difficult for the male gunner to even defend his own jungle area. Xiaolong was also captured by the spider. Although the canyon pioneer male gunner arrived, EDG did not dare to fight against the fat spider and could only give it to others.
One tower was captured by NB.
After the line change, EDG was always under pressure from the Spiders.
The field of vision does not dare to go too deep. With the spider's equipment, it can kill everyone on their side except the wine barrel!
The third dragon is refreshed. (End of chapter)
