Chapter 92 Let us cheer for RNG together with EDG in the audience
"I am not doubting the strength of Duoduo (Scout), but the risk of mid laner Lucian is too high."
"Before level 13, it was difficult for Lucian to get double E in a team fight. This means that if you get two elemental dragons with combat attributes in the early stage, you will be in a very passive situation - since you give up the bottom lane, the mid laner's combat effectiveness That’s the top priority.”
Ye Tian gave a good reason: "I don't know how the club will arrange it. Should I go to the World Championships or let Mouse go? If I go, I will be teleported to the lower half to harvest the endgame and gain development more than one or two dragons." Big, it’s not worth sacrificing my development to take that soft team resource.”
"Of course, it's not that I can't sacrifice. It's okay for me to sacrifice when the team needs it, but it's just not cost-effective to sacrifice for Xiaolong."
Gold coins are hard gains.
Dragon is soft income.
Wind and water need no introduction.
When there is only one Fire Dragon, the bonus cannot reach the level of qualitative change. It seems that the percentage bonus is not low. In fact, after the skill bonus is converted again, the improvement to AP, tanks, and auxiliary heroes is almost nonexistent.
A simple trick will be useful.
but.
EDG must think about whether the 10% additional real damage to buildings and ancient monsters is really worth more than the snowballing value of the top top laner.
"That makes sense."
"We'll try it out in training and then decide."
Abu couldn't make an accurate judgment, so he decided to put the topic aside and prove it with facts.
"Yes, let's try it in a training match!"
"Let's go, let's go back and eat. WE and IG played this BO5 so much that I'm starving!"
Iboy shouted out.
Everyone in EDG rushed to the venue when WE and IG reached the third game.
As a result, the score at the end of the third game was IG two to one WE, and the final score was WE winning three to two, which made EDG wait for a long, long time.
Board the club bus.
Drive to base.
Ye Tian took out his mobile phone on the road and looked through Tieba, Weibo, Bilibili, Douyin, Zhangmeng and other community news related to LOL.
Recently, there have been one storm after another in the LOL circle. In addition to Ye Tian's deliberate rhythms in order to become famous as quickly as possible, there are also RNG and UZI navy companies causing trouble behind the scenes.
Especially after RNG lost to EDG in the Summer Split and was punished by the officials.
In the eyes of many passers-by, since RNG Club and UZI have been officially punished, there is no need to mention the wrong things they did before.
RNG took the opportunity to market topics such as the All-China Class and the runner-up in the S competition, and it suddenly occupied the high ground of public opinion.
It’s not that the two groups of Starch and Piggy are not as large as HZ and GSL, but the results of EDG and Factory Director in the World Championship are too convincing. Regardless of how good the performance in the competition area is and how gorgeous the data is, as long as the World Finals are mentioned, Starch, The piglets are each more guilty than the last.
The most disturbing thing is that the numbers like trash Mingkai, 4396 and 7 are really mysterious. No one knows whether the factory director will get the four eights together in the S7 finals...
At night.
Three more explosive messages popped up.
The first one is that Huang Za made a classic statement - he only hopes that EDG and WE can beat the Korean team.
The second one is that Faker suspected that a player in the Korean server with the ID name ZhanQiSuSuSu was using a script.
The third article is that UZI was ridiculed by his teammates during the live broadcast [four guarantees and one can't return C]. He entered the red-warm defense breaking mode. Not only did he attack his teammates without horses, but he also said shamelessly that it didn't matter whether he won the LPL championship or not. The number one seed was To attract firepower, for the sake of world championship results, not taking the No. 1 seed is the best choice.
And some people dream of becoming the second UZI, but they will never be able to do so. They only dare to shout online, and they only ask for autographs and photos when meeting offline.
Finally he followed.
——Meeting me in the bottom lane is like meeting Faker in the middle lane.
Funny thing is.
This statement has many supporters.
[The puppy is right, what is the use of the LPL division championship? There are two every year, whoever wins it is not the same]
[Some teams only perform well in the civil war and cannot even break through the top eight in the World Championship]
[One thing to say, UZI is indeed the highest achievement of LPL]
[When UZI won the world runner-up, some black people had never even played LOL]
[Only those who are strong are equipped with four guarantees and one guarantee. Strength is not derived from four guarantees and one guarantee. If you understand this principle, then come out and applaud it?]
[UZI’s two world runner-ups are nothing in the mouths of some black men? What kind of runner-up are you? 】
[The people who hacked UZI are all unhappy in reality. When they earn more than one million, they will understand what UZI has done and what they have done]
but.
There are also many counterattacks below the sliced video.
[I started to think that he was just a good guy who liked to put on a show. He didn’t know he was ‘educated’. He became the second UZI and asked for autographs. He probably didn’t even know his last name.]
[The barrage is so annoying. Do you know how many people want autographs? Stop trying to show your presence, your angry look makes me laugh]
[That’s right, Brother Kuangfeng asked UZI for his autograph]
[Hahahahaha, that guy who said Brother Kuangfeng wanted to sign an autograph was so funny to me. You can’t leave garbage on the stage, right? 】
[I think that four guarantees and one is not a derogatory term. If you don’t do anything bad, don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Just because you have cheated four teammates with four guarantees and one, it does not mean that this tactic is not good. It is equivalent to others laughing at you for playing tricks, so just go ahead. Scolding other people’s parents. Maybe this is UZI’s runner-up style]
"Damn, that's so funny!"
Iboy was a little angry: "It sounds like he deliberately didn't win the championship. I regarded him as an idol before... By the way, Ye Tian, don't you still have a dozen signed photos in your hand? Take them out and tear them up live!"
"Why are you acting like a child? Do you really want to become the second UZI?" Ye Tian pointed out the key point: "Instead of caring about UZI's incompetence and rage, you might as well look at ZhanQiSuSuSu's playing style."
"ZhanQiSuSuSu?"
"The one whose script was reported by Faker?"
Iboy listened to Ye Tian's reminder, found the video of that game, carefully watched several team battles, and frowned: "The speed of his A and dodging skills is not quite right. It's not very good."
"He is not a script." Ye Tian was sure.
"No?" Iboy was dubious.
"I can also operate this kind of A and hide skills, and it's more fluent than him." Ye Tian said matter-of-factly.
"Can you be the same? LPL division... No, there is no newcomer better than you in the world. Any AD can compete with you?" Iboy felt that Ye Tian's comparison was inappropriate.
"Indeed." The factory director nodded: "Although you are a little black boy, you still have strength."
"What is black? I always tell the truth, okay?" Ye Tian retorted flatly: "But this ZhanQiSuSuSu is really not a script. I know who he is."
"Who?" the factory director was curious.
"That Able from RNG youth training, Dai Zhichun." Ye Tian remembers it clearly.
Able.
The nickname is weird.
He later won the title of [E-Sports Inventor].
The reason is that Monster A not only made the blazing incense burner popular in the S7 season, but also developed the Teleport EZ gameplay for the first time in 2018, which was imitated by the Rat King Pray at the time, which helped the KZ team win two games. During the game, his knowledge and understanding of the bot lane hero is at a very high level.
What impressed Ye Tian deeply was that Monster A understood the nature of the RNG contract team early on, deliberately messed up the team, was expelled, and became a free agent.
At the beginning, the outside world said that playing A monster was a sign of failing to use the opportunity, having a poor mentality, disrespecting the predecessors, and wasting rare talents. RNG fans even clapped their hands and celebrated that they had driven away a cancer.
It wasn't until the RNG card contract, non-payment of wages, and the Lao Lai team incident broke out that everyone knew that going with the A monster was a fool's errand.
"Is it him?"
"Then I'll study it carefully!"
Iboy was aroused to be competitive.
As a new generation talent, Iboy officially started as a starter for EDG, one of the three teams in the Royal League, just after turning 17 years old as stipulated in the LPL. It took only thirty-five days from playing to winning the playoffs.
In comparison.
Another genius AD, JackeyLove, is much inferior.
Now, another monster has appeared.
Of course Iboy wants to push the opponent down.
soon.
The identity of Monster A is revealed to the world.
Other clubs participating in the S7 finals have explored the 7.18 World Championship version and the incense burner gameplay that has been promoted by the A monster. Soft assists and incense burners have gradually become the mainstream in Rank and training matches. Hard assists are difficult to play due to their weak laning and lack of roaming ability. The series of shortcomings of triggering the special effects of the incense burner slowly disappeared.
September 23rd.
The 2017 League of Legends Global Finals-Play-in Tournament started at the Wuhan Sports Center.
After three days of group stage competition and one day of competition in the knockout rounds, the third seeds from the three major mainstream divisions, LPL, LCS.EU, and LCS.NA, all advanced without any suspense by overwhelming the wild card divisions.
The only wild card to break out of the siege was 1907 Fenerbahce (FB) who had better luck.
then.
Come to the group stage draw stage.
"Hello, fellow summoners."
"I'm Ren Dong."
"I'm Shaggy."
"I am Wang Duoduo."
Immortal Grasp Ren Dong and two commentators were responsible for the introduction of the lottery ceremony: "Before the lottery guests come on stage, let me introduce the rules - teams from the same division will not be placed in the same group, because the LCK division does not need to participate in the play-in rounds , so there will be three LCK teams participating in the draw in the group stage, which will result in at least two LPL teams meeting LCK teams in the group stage.”
"This is not necessarily a bad thing." Wang Duoduo analyzed: "As long as you want to win the championship, you must cross the LCK mountain. Since you must fight with the LCK, it is better to fight early than to fight late. Understand the opponent's strength and touch in advance. After checking it out, I think it’s OK.”
"Although I don't know who touched whom." Changmao was a bit weird. "It depends on strength and performance." Wang Duoduo counterattacked lightly.
"Yes, let's look at the second rule." Ren Dong interrupted the argument between the two: "In the group stage, the number one seed teams of LMS, EU, LPL, and LCK will be divided into four different groups. In the NA division, since the MSI group stage failed, its No. 1 seed team was also assigned to the No. 2 lottery pool. "
"Our lottery guests - two players, AmazingJ and Rookie, have come to the stage. Let's take a look at the results of the lottery group!"
Off the field.
The participating teams and the fans who support these teams watched the live broadcast nervously.
Strength is the most important point.
The importance of luck is second only to strength.
Just think about the old royal family.
Being able to defeat EDG and OMG in a row means that the Old Royal Family is really good, but what if the Old Royal Family is less lucky and encounters SKT or SSW earlier?
In most competitions, the champion is stronger than luck.
Below the championship level, luck outweighs strength.
AmazingJ, a beautiful old-fashioned man wearing a white printed shirt, walked to the table with the No. 1 lottery pool under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, stretched out his hand and took out the mysterious black sphere.
Twist the sphere away.
Unfold the paper inside.
It has the EDG team icon with a dark green background and a black and white LOGO printed on it.
The big screen then switched to the scene of EDG chasing three consecutive championships, and the entire team lifting the Silver Dragon Cup under the spotlight. The exciting moves performed by the rookie top laner on the court were also replayed.
"The No. 1 seed is in Group A."
"Good sign!"
Ren Dong boasted: "Look at the draw later... LCK's No. 1 seed LZ is in Group B, and EU's No. 1 seed G2 is in Group C. In this way, Group D is LSM's No. 1 seed FW."
"Only FW is left." Changmao added with a smile.
"Then invite Rookie to our No. 2 lottery pool to draw lots." Ren Dong commented: "This is so critical. It directly determines the group stage and some quarter-finals and semi-finals."
No. 1 is the team with the best performance in each division's civil war.
but.
Performance in civil war and performance in foreign war cannot be equated.
Needless to say, the classic EDG.
The NA division also has the obvious examples of TSM and North American Light C9.
In the LCK, which has the strongest overall strength, the two teams SKT and SSG seem to be ranked lower than LZ. However, both in media rankings and in the mouths of professional players, SKT and LZ are considered to be strong teams of the same level.
Even if SSG is slightly weaker, it's not that much worse.
At least outside the LCK division, no team dares to say they can win SSG.
After some introduction.
Rookie walked to the table where the No. 2 lottery pool was placed.
Take out the ball.
Twist away.
Faintly seeing the edge of the team logo, Rookie's right hand trembled suddenly, and his expression instantly became extremely embarrassed. He even had the urge to twist the ball, put it back and smoke again.
Shivering, he unfolded the note.
Above it is the T1 team logo composed of a red base and flying wings, and the white font next to it clearly says - SKT.
[Wow, golden legend! 】
【It's poisonous】
【Is this life? One out of eight? 】
[Director: IG will be beaten to death in the middle next season]
[Can you please bring me a broiler chicken? I really want to eat roast chicken]
[No wonder the broiler expression almost made me cry, it turned out that SKT was drawn into a group]
【What the hell? Just play SKT when you come up? 】
[It’s not easy to deal with an old enemy team]
[This is how the lot was drawn, the strongest one was drawn from the eight teams]
Starch, Piggy, and the passers-by were all a little embarrassed.
On the other hand, HZ and GSL were gloating before the group stage even started.
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha make me laugh]
【happy】
【A cool song for everyone】
[Stop being a rival, SKT is using your EDG as a free extension]
[Zhuzi has the nerve to cry into groups? Last year, together with INTZ, H2K, and AHQ, we were divided into groups. If we didn’t still play in a mess, this year it would play the biggest role in helping other teams bear the pressure]
[Master Gou has long said that the No. 1 seed attracts firepower]
“Awesome!!”
"Good job, cock!"
In the RNG club, UZI waved his fists to express his emotions: "It's so beautiful to draw SKT to EDG. SKT firmly holds the first place in the group. Then draw two strong teams to EDG and send them away directly!"
"It's a profit, it's a profit. We didn't win the championship, but we really made a profit." Xiaohu clapped beside him: "If we win the summer championship, we will face SKT in the group stage. It will be uncomfortable to compete with them or to save our strength and finish second in the group. "
In most cases, the first place team will be stronger than the second place team.
In the quarter-finals, the second place in the group will have to compete with the first place in other groups, and the difficulty of advancement is obviously much higher.
Seeing EDG's unlucky fortune, RNG wiped away the shadow of failure in the Summer Games and waited to see EDG's jokes.
on the main stage.
Rookie continues to draw lots.
This time, the SSG was drawn.
According to the principle of avoiding the same division, SSG skipped Group B where the LZ team was located, and competed with EU's number one seed G2 in Group C.
The third IMT drawn fell into Group B, and the fourth drawn AHQ avoided Flash Wolf FW and was postponed to Group A where EDG was located.
See this situation.
The barrage was a little more lively.
Many viewers remember that in last year's World Finals, EDG was placed in the same group as AHQ, and was once pushed to the edge of life and death by AHQ, almost losing the right to qualify.
This year.
EDG met AHQ again.
If AHQ succeeds in revenge...tsk, tsk, tsk, that would be so comfortable!
Next, the teams drawn by Rookie are European Rabbit MSF, Vietnam GAM, RNG, and finally TSM.
When the qualifying teams enter their respective positions, the groupings are all settled.
Group A: EDG, SKT, AHQ, C9
Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC
Group C: G2, SSG, RNG, FB
Group D: FW, MSF, TSM , WE
“Of these strong teams this year, LZ, the No. 1 seed in the LCK, has the best luck.”
Ren Dong commented: "Except for LZ, the strength of the other three teams in Group B is much weaker. They are basically crushing the game. The only suspense is the second qualifying spot."
"Indeed." Wang Duoduo agreed with this statement: "WE's luck is also good. Compared with the first and second seed teams in other divisions, FW, TSM, and MSF are not very threatening. WE can draw Group D. Very lucky."
"The main thing is that WE is the third seed and will definitely meet the first and second seeds from other divisions." Changmao pointed out: "The A and C groups where EDG and RNG sit can be said to be the group of death. The strength of SKT in group A does not matter. Said that North American Light C9 has performed very well in foreign competitions over the years, and AHQ is not completely uncompetitive. "
"Group C is a deadly battle between G2, RNG, and SSG. 1907 Fenerba, which was eliminated from the wild card, is divided into this group. It can only be said that they ran out of luck in the qualifying rounds."
Outside opinions and explanations are basically consistent.
The only difference is the perception of RNG and EDG.
The vast majority of viewers believe that RNG is better than G2 and competes with SSG for first place in the group, while EDG will inevitably be under pressure by SKT. Whether it can beat C9 is a question mark.
[To give you some popular science, EDG was not almost killed by AHQ in 2016, but was killed by AHQ in 2014. In S4 and S6, they almost failed to make it out of the group stage in both years]
[Little knowledge, EDG is the only LPL club that lost to the provincial team]
[Classic civil war fantasy, foreign war gives in]
[Come on EDG, just play something with SKT. You are one-third responsible for RNG winning the championship]
[Clearlove8: I’m already studying S9’s opponents]
[I feel that Huni’s stance on cutting the Wind Dog this year is the same as the one he cut the year before. The picture is so beautiful, I can’t wait to see it]
[I really don’t understand what’s wrong with people now. EDG is a team in the LPL. Does it make you happy just because it can’t qualify for the group stage? I don’t care what others think, for me, I always firmly believe that EDG is the EDG, and it will definitely appear in the Bird’s Nest in the finals. When the time comes, let us work together with EDG sitting on the bench in the audience to support RNG. come on】
Factory Director Rank was scrolling through Tieba messages while waiting in line.
The more I swipe, the angrier I get.
He turned around and wanted to discuss it with Ye Tian.
See what's on the screen clearly.
The director's face suddenly darkened.
Ye Tian typed a paragraph under the post about EDG.
——[Mingzi eight pictures Kaizi eight pictures Mingkai two characters sixteen pictures, the top eight of the year before last and the top eight of last year won the top sixteen this year]
