Chapter 242 Liu Mou, calm down and put down the fan!
August 19th.
EDG ushered in its last regular season game of the summer split.
The opponent is WE.
For EDG, this game has nothing to do with ranking. Regardless of winning or losing, EDG will firmly occupy the top spot.
For WE, it is somewhat important. If they win this BO3, they can move up one spot.
In the playoffs, even if it is just a change of ranking, it means that there is one less BO5 that can be played in a leisurely manner, and WE will naturally try its best to fight for it.
At five o'clock in the evening, the game started on time.
EDG's starting top laner Mouse, Xu Mo watched the game in the lounge.
Since he has secured the first place position anyway, Coach Abramovich naturally has to focus more on training.
EDG's starting five were playing on the stage, but the LCK game was playing in the lounge.
There are few LCK teams, so the game schedule is very fast.
Today is their playoff semifinals.
The two sides are the "News Agency Derby", SKT vs. KT.
The game started at four o'clock, and by this time, SKT had already taken the lead in winning.
"It seems that SKT is still going to win. The momentum is too strong." Abramovich muttered as he finished his pick and glanced at the game screen.
In the first round of the playoffs, SKT defeated Samsung SSG 3-0.
The whole team's performance from top to bottom was perfect.
Even after learning from the failures of MSI and Intercontinental Games, SKT also arranged two sets of top and jungle lineups.
Top laner Huni and Untara rotate.
There is also Blank in the jungle to "supervise" Peanut.
"Don't underestimate Dragon Ball." Xu Mo leaned on the chair and smiled.
If he remembers correctly, the winner of the S7LCK Summer Split is not Faker's SKT.
But it is the KZ Dragon Ball with two elders: Khan, BDD and Xuan Ming.
Although in the upcoming world, Dragon Ball, like EDG in the official history, will not play much, it is undeniable that they defeated SKT and won the LCK Summer Finals championship.
"Yes." Abu nodded.
As the World Championship approaches, their coaching staff has been working overtime in various ways recently.
Not only should we pay attention to the opponents in the LPL, but we should also study the opponents in the LCK in advance.
It was the first time that the Dragon Kingdom held the S competition, and the final venue was even the Bird's Nest. No one wanted to lose.
LPL is working hard to bring a perfect end to this year.
As for the increasingly brighter bottom lane version, it is obvious that the designers are favoring the LPL region, which is rich in ADCs. This time it is really the right time and place. As long as the "harmony" is completed, it will be there!
Soon, the first BO3 game between EDG and WE ended.
iBoy’s blue square skate shoes helped the team win the game.
"You are right, skateboard shoes are indeed the current version of T0." Regarding iBoy's performance in this game, Abramovich nodded with satisfaction.
"No, no, no."
Xu Mo waved his hand, "You still don't understand what I mean. Even though skateboard shoes are high-strength, they are far from being a must-have for the ban."
The hero of skateboard shoes has obvious advantages and disadvantages.
When encountering a strong team, even if you get it in the BP game, it is not impossible to deal with it.
Xu Mo continued: "What really makes him the most OP in the version is that his ultimate move can protect the incense burner monster."
Hearing this, the EDG lounge became quiet.
One member of the coaching staff even checked to see if the door was closed with trepidation.
Everyone knew that Xu Mo's point of view just now hit the nail on the head.
And it is obvious that the designer is quite satisfied with the current positioning of skateboard shoes. When it comes to the world championship version, the skateboard shoes will definitely remain the same.
In the past, world-class competitions were played in LCK and other competition regions. For some reasons, they firmly grasped the initiative in the version.
The mainstream BP understanding in the World Championship and the LPL are all following others' wisdom, resulting in a deeper understanding than others.
This is also one of the reasons why LPL has not performed well in recent years.
But this time is different.
Just in terms of skateboard shoes, Abramovich can definitely say that they are one version ahead of the world.
This is a real killer in the World Championship.
Not to mention anything else, there is definitely no problem in qualifying for the group stage.
"I didn't expect you had such a deep understanding of the version." Abu sighed.
"Research as you like." Xu Mo waved his hand modestly.
There was no way he could remember this deformed S7 World Championship.
And not only skateboard shoes, but also an EZ jungler, which Xu Mo has not announced yet.
The EDG players came back from the game.
After a few pleasantries, the second game of BO3 began.
WE replaced the auxiliary Zero to take the stage.
The two sides fought fiercely for nearly fifty minutes. Kangdi, the Son of the Dragon, snatched three dragons and almost turned the tide. However, iBoy's performance was still remarkable. The 17-year-old's unresolved reaction and Xia's Storm Feather Blade were used to avoid WE's encirclement and suppression. Skill, and then dragged teammates to rush for help. EDG won the team battle and ended the game in one wave.
"Congratulations EDG!"
Commentator Wang Duoduo's voice sounded: "Congratulations to EDG for defeating WE with a score of 2-0! At the same time, EDG's summer regular season journey has come to a successful conclusion! 16 big games, without losing a single game! Completed the feat of 16 consecutive victories! We successfully entered the playoffs with the first position in the standings! ”
"After WE failed today, they came to a big score of 10-6. Although the playoff spot is stable, due to the relationship between wins and losses, they had to succumb to IG and come to the third place in our Group A. Third pick.”
At that time, the LPL was divided into two groups: AB.
The top four teams in each group advance to the playoffs.
Moving up one spot means you can play one less BO5 game.
EDG and RNG occupy the top spot in their respective groups, and they can wait patiently for other teams to break through.
There was constant cheering.
"EDG is too strong!"
"My companion can beat WE2 to 0 even if he doesn't play! It would be even better if he plays!"
"You can't say that. My companion is good at top lane warriors, and Mouse is good at tanking. These are two different styles of play. I can only say that EDG's tactical reserves this year are very terrifying!"
"Without losing a game in the regular season, this should be the strongest team in LPL history!"
"I advise you not to have high expectations. EDG has never disappointed people!"
"Yes, before the World Championship starts, no one knows whether it is good or bad. In previous years, EDG was invincible in the civil war, but in the S Championship, they are in the top eight every year!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience calmed down a lot.
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
Looking back at EDG's achievements, since the team was founded, it has won all major championships, the true "Civil War Fantasy God"!
But when it came to the World Championships, it was like being kicked down. They couldn't play the game, they were disappointed in all kinds of ways, and the fans all had PTSD.
"Haha, you still have to watch my big RNG this year!"
"The sword points at the Bird's Nest! The sword points at the S7!"
Some RNG fans burst into laughter.
It was immediately criticized, both verbally and written, and even triggered various confrontations between fans of the two teams on the Internet.
The heat of the pig-dog war has not started yet, but it has already started brewing...
As for the LCK game, SKT also defeated KT 3-2 and advanced to the finals.
The opponent waiting for them is KZ.
……
night.
After attending the "16-game winning streak celebration dinner" hosted by his boss Ed Zhu, Xu Mo was invited to the home of anchor PDD.
A few days ago, Shark Platform followed Xu Mo’s suggestion and started a PDD fan club.
At first, as a fan-oriented thing, the popularity was not too high.
Usually some water friends get on the mic and start singing, basically at the level of some amateur KTVs. Occasionally one or two are professional, but the level is not too high.
Starting today, under Xu Mo's suggestion, the competition for the water friends group ended and the competition for the anchor group began.
“It still doesn’t feel right.”
Before the broadcast, PDD said to Xu Mo: "The main OB live broadcast room of the open training match between RNG and Snake next door has 12 million views."
Although it is an evening show, the popularity of 12 million is basically the ceiling of the live broadcast industry in this era.
Shark's current highest ranking, Da Sima, only has 3 million hits. By comparison, the gap is evident.
"Don't panic."
Xu Mo chuckled: "As soon as I put my face here, it will be 2 million hot."
"Hahaha, Ya'er, you're so sexy." PDD laughed.
He knew that Xu Mo was now the most popular little prince in the LPL, almost second only to Pig and Dog.
Xu Mo's departure here at PDD will naturally attract a lot of traffic.
But what really made PDD laugh was that Xu Mo came here today not just for fun, but because the latter actually wanted to be a scoring judge.
At this moment, the live broadcast has not started yet, but many water friends who have seen the forward-looking Weibo posted by PDD and Shark have already gathered.
The topics they discussed were basically all about Xu Mo.
"Hahahaha! Although it hasn't started yet, I have already started laughing."
"I admit that my companion in LOL is really good, but no one is perfect. Others need money to sing, but he needs his life to sing!"
"No, I want to review EDG's vlog again!"
"I just finished watching, hahaha!"
"Invite my companion to come over and be the judge. Isn't this a price drop?"
"He Xu Mo knows a lot about Hammer music!"
……
PDD started broadcasting, and a big fat face appeared on the screen of the majority of fans. Then PDD moved back, and Xu Mo, who was sitting next to him, was slowly revealed.
PDD said: "Today the anchor group competition begins, we also have a heavyweight guest here, the League of Legends MSI champion Mo, everyone is welcome!"
The screen was filled with applause expressions.
Xu Mo stood up, nodded politely towards the screen, then sat down, thought for a while and said: "Today, I was invited by the prostitute teacher to serve as a judge for our singing club. I have been listening to music since I was a mother. It can be said that , formed an inseparable bond with music early on, and has a musical instinct! ”
"However, my evaluations are all critical. I hope everyone is prepared."
Not only water friends, PDD has also been prepared for it.
Zhou Shuyi was almost mad at Xu Mo, and the whole internet knew about it.
Everyone has heard about Xu Mo's energy for a long time.
Ever since.
The popularity of the PDD live broadcast room quickly increased, surpassing Da Sima in an instant.
After all, what is about to begin is the anchor team's competition.
Being able to be a music anchor on the Shark Platform without starving to death naturally has two skills.
They even have their own popularity and traffic. Many of their fans, knowing that their anchors were coming to compete, hunkered down in PDD's live broadcast room early.
“Without further ado, let’s invite today’s No. 1 player!”
There was a voice on the YY channel. This was a host hired by PDD. His voice was very magnetic, and he looked like he was a professional in this field.
"Today's No. 1 player is...Pony AAA!"
Xu Mo and PDD quickly applauded.
After glancing at the question marks all over the screen, PDD suddenly woke up.
"Pony AAA?"
At this time, player No. 1 has already entered the mic.
A somewhat young and shy voice sounded: "Hello everyone, I am the No. 1 player Xiao Ma, and today I will bring you a song "Horse Rod"."
"Holy shit! Why is this kid Ma Yanyi here!" PDD was shocked.
Xu Mo also scratched his head.
Pony AAA is also considered one of the strongest passers-by in S7.
Heroes such as Nuoshou, Centaur, and Juggernaut play very well.
Ranked among the top ten in District 1, the popularity is quite high.
After being recruited by PDD, he has been working as an anchor to earn points. Unexpectedly, the first contestant in the anchor group is actually him.
BGM sounds.
The pony started singing.
"Give me a blue sky
A rising sun
…”
As soon as the first line was sung, the PDD live broadcast room was filled with question marks.
Xiao Ma's singing level cannot be said to be a mess, it can only be said that it is difficult to describe.
Everyone in Xu Mo was dumbfounded.
With his "absolute sense of pitch", he was already extremely sensitive to music, but now he was completely confused by Xiao Ma's singing.
"Give me a piece of green grass stretching into the distance
Give me an eagle
A mighty man
…”
Xiao Ma's voice shook like a magnitude 8 earthquake.
It's truly done that not a single word is in tune.
It was like a big hand strangling his throat.
The staff was torn to pieces.
Xu Mo covered his face.
The barrage of question marks continues.
"...
You are a mighty man who is roping a horse
The galloping horse is like the wind
The endless wilderness is free for you to wander
Your heart is as broad as the earth
…”
The "much-anticipated" chorus began, and the disaster-level performance continued.
The barrage scrolled "0" one after another.
There are even negative numbers.
No one recognized Pony AAA's singing.
"Wait for me."
PDD took off his headphones, leaving a thick and fat figure behind.
On the other side, Xiao Ma was still singing emotionally.
"You, the horse-harnessing man, are in my heart
I would like to melt into your broad chest
The endless wilderness is free for you to wander
…”
"Huh??? What do you want to do with the teacher???"
"Fuck!"
"Liu Mou, put down the electric fan for me!"
"Bang! Ding..."
Legendary singer Pony AAA's performance was interrupted.
Xu Mo rubbed his ears and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Ma lives in PDD's mansion. If he competed elsewhere, PDD would have wanted to follow the network cable and beat him to death.
"The number one contestant, pony AAA, seems to have some irresistible factors. Let's wait for him a little longer..." the host of the fan club reported in a rich voice.
Immediately, a group of water friends found Pony tied up in a knot in the corner of PDD's live camera. PDD dragged him on the floor and seemed to throw him somewhere. This fat man was the one taking the photo. Clap your hands and run back with a smile.
He even let out a signature pig snort.
"Well, it seems that our pony AAA players can no longer compete normally. This is really a pity."
After the host finished speaking, the barrage was already scrolling.
"Hahahaha!"
"I'm done with PDD!"
"Xiao Ma is not playing Nuoshou at all, he is a dead brother with unique skills!"
“The number one death song in the national server!”
"More exaggerated than my companion!"
"This horse pole is really going to send me away."
"Holy shit, this is the first time I've seen such a shocking song, it's so outrageous!"
The barrages were all rated with "0".
As the "judge teacher" of this competition, Xu Mo also gave a professional analysis: "I can only say that this person's singing skills are quite abstract!"
"0 points! No more!" (End of Chapter)
