Chapter 93: I sat up in shock while dying and asked where the kitchen knife was.
"You little... Heizi!"
"Forget it when you're not here at EDG, but you dare to shoot me in front of me when you're here at EDG, right?!"
The factory director had an inexplicable urge to transform into an old rival: "The eight clear characters and eight Kai characters...the top eight the year before last and the top eight last year...how come it sounds so smooth..."
"It's really smooth." Meiko smiled happily.
Meiko, a veteran player, takes the lead.
The cheerful voices of Iboy, Mouse, and Audi spread throughout the training room.
Although Scout and Zet didn't quite understand the point of the joke, they saw everyone laughing and agreed.
"It must be smooth!"
"And let me tell you, you have actually gathered the four top eight."
After sending the previous sentence, Ye Tian continued to edit the copy in the post, reading out the content while typing: "The four eight paintings corresponding to the four eight paintings of waste, matter, Ming and Kai are the four top eight, S2, 4, 5 and 6 seasons. After taking it all, we will definitely be eliminated in the top 16 this year.”
? ? ? !
Fuck me!
The factory director once again switched from Ankai to the vague eight-door form.
I was about to retort a few words.
Think about it.
I really can't come up with any words to refute.
"Why does Ye Tianqian always post posts to blackmail Mingkai?"
Coach Maokai didn't quite understand: "And if you hack Mingkai, you're hacking our EDG team. If Mingkai is in the top 16, none of us can escape... and neither can you."
"If you want to be successful, please suppress it first, don't you understand!" Ye Tianzhen said eloquently: "Let's set the pace and make a fool of ourselves for a while, so that everyone will feel that we are destined to be in the top 16. Only by achieving results will there be a sense of contrast. If everyone thinks that we can win What happens if you win the championship?”
"As for Mingkai, is it useful for him to win the LPL championship now? Can it change the fact that everyone criticizes him as a waste?"
After hearing this.
The temperature of the factory manager gradually increased.
But still under control.
After all, Ye Tian often said the words "Waste Mingkai", and the factory director had gradually developed an immunity. He also felt that after such training, his mentality became better and better, and he would be able to perform more stably in the competition.
However.
Seeing that Ye Tian changed the post and replied with new content, the factory director exploded.
——[Nine blind monks and one ball, the fourth floor record is 3-9-6]
"Little B bastard!"
"Don't run!"
"Don't run away if you can!"
In the training room.
The other members of EDG watched the parkour show that they had performed from time to time since Ye Tian joined. While joking, they curiously inquired about the S6 All-Star event that year.
That one was in clone mode.
With 4396 in front of them, everyone unanimously chose the blind monk.
During the selection process, the factory director was on the fourth floor.
After being kicked for a whole game, the record was exactly 3-9-6.
"Good guy, it turns out to be true!"
"I don't even remember it."
Meiko was quite surprised. While the factory director was resting on the sofa and could not see the training room, she quickly came to Ye Tian's computer and sent the screenshot she just found using Ye Tian's Tieba account...
Of course Ye Tian is not the only one who blackmails EDG.
In fact.
Seeing that EDG was drawn together with SKT, AHQ, and C9, the whole network was full of voices that looked down on EDG. In addition, RNG had just broken up with EDG and mobilized a navy to add fuel to the flames. The group stage hadn't even started yet. EDG was sentenced to death online.
The perfect OB, who is HZ+Iron-Blooded GSL, plausibly disparaged EDG during the live broadcast: "Don't tell me that EDG once beat SKT. What's the use? The one who beat SKT was General Pawn, who fought with Faker. It was Samsung. Deft, one of the ten players, was the number one single player in the world at that time. What else would EDG have without these three people?”
"——We couldn't make it to the finals in the spring split. In the summer split, we either had a new top laner or were swept by RNG three to zero."
"What?"
"Is EDG's new top laner better than Tong Wudi?"
"I tell you, civil war is useless. EDG is strong in civil war in any year. The main thing is external performance. This year, SKT's top laner is Huni, who was killed in the World Championship the year before last. C9's top laner is S3 champion Damu, and AHQ's top laner is Ziv. He even defeated Marin alone in S5. Tian, who is an EDG player, can play opportunistically with two long-handed heroes. How can Huni and Riven kill him with E?
【Well said】
[The anchor’s analysis is so reasonable]
[To give you some popular science, as long as the SKT team enters the S competition, it has never lost the championship, and as long as the C9 team has entered the S competition, it has never missed the top eight]
[SKT champion, C9 top eight = EDG top 16]
[What are you talking about? SKT wants to win the championship? Will RNG quit them this year? 】
[In the civil war, it is true that the Prince Team cannot be defeated. In the foreign war, RNG is definitely good and did not lose too much]
[EDG doesn’t rely on special privileges to bring up newcomers who have never played in the regular season. How dare they touch RNG? They even did a one-minute BO5 against puppies before, creating a space-time rift. I suggest that we don’t need to fight in the future and just give awards to EDG. Just fine]
[Does anyone really care about the default LPL champion? No way? 】
[Is Huang Za enjoying himself? The LPL rules were changed last year, and all registered players can directly play in the playoffs]
[Kick this stupid guy out of here]
【Block him forever】
[Zhuzi went to the RNG dedicated OB live broadcast room to recognize his father? 】
"Kick it, kick it."
Perfect OB personally banned the audience who told the truth, and continued the topic: "To be fair, it's not because I support RNG that I blame EDG. Look at EDG's lineup. Zet has been holding back the bottom lane for a whole year. I can only let that On Iboy, in RNG, are the A monsters who are on the same level as Iboy eligible to start?”
"With this comparison, you will know how different Iboy and UZI are."
"Both the upper and lower lanes are not good. The jungler has won four of the top eight. The Scout in the middle lane is nicknamed Junior. He was originally a substitute for SKT. I don't think he can even breathe in front of Faker - the kind of bullying in Korea. You should all understand the ethos.”
[Waiting for EDG to be eliminated]
[Welcome to the S7 group stage, will the factory director bring us a miracle? What does the factory director want to do? The factory director elected the blind monk? ! The whole place was boiling. The coach and teammates seemed to be trying to stop him. Well, he locked it. Yes, it was the blind monk! The coach kicked the screen, and his teammates seemed to be fighting with the factory director]
[It's too much to say that EDG went too far in the top 16. Wouldn't it be better to let them advance to the top eight and meet LZ Samsung? 】
[Anyway, it’s either the top 16 or the top eight, it’s impossible to achieve a higher result]
[Qi Jiang’s ingenious plan to level the world, no one is afraid of the rift in time and space, Mantis Widow Reksai, Li Qing came on the field to send off the game, the invincible five-time champion in the civil war, but unfortunately the provincial team is stronger, let the second chase and the third create a myth, the top eight words and eight paintings every year 】
[The reason why EDG did not perform well in the World Championship was discovered, there is no way to go back to the past]
【……】
HZ and GSL launched attacks on EDG one after another.
Although the rhythm in other places is not so exaggerated, the overall trend is the same. They all believe that no matter how EDG plays, it will be impossible to break through the blockade of LZ or Samsung after a fierce battle with SKT.
This year, they will either end up in the quarterfinals like before, or they will reach a new high and be sent back to the group stage.
The comments about WE and RNG are much better.
Although the WE1.0 five-man group known as the Red Legion only existed in ancient times, it has only been five years since now. Many people still remember many things. At least they know that the WE avatar in the client is the IPL5 championship reward.
Even though the card is not as good as the S series championship skin, it is still a rare souvenir.
Not to mention RNG.
A series of words such as the highest probability of winning the championship, the strength of the Royal Family, and the hope of the entire LPL were all put on RNG.
Time passes day by day.
One week after the end of the qualifying rounds, the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals-Group Stage officially kicked off at the Wuhan Sports Center.
This sports center named after the city is located in the Economic and Technological Development Zone (Zhuankou). It is a two-hall plan of a gymnasium + swimming pool. There are also a series of ancillary buildings around it, with a total area of 1,580 acres. The largest The venue can accommodate a full 60,000 spectators.
The 2007 Women's World Cup and City Games were held here.
Starting from noon, a large number of spectators rushed to the venue in advance to check in and take seats. Since four well-known teams, EDG, RNG, LZ, and SKT, all started today, the number of spectators reached 90% of the venue's capacity.
3pm.
The opening ceremony of the group stage was also the official start of the team’s entrance ceremony, and all qualified platforms began to broadcast the scene.
Accompanied by the introduction of host Ren Dong.
Last year's World Finals champion team, SKT, was the first to take the stage and walk to the trophy stand engraved with white dragon scales. Faker and Bang worked together to return the original Summoner's Championship trophy that had been kept for a whole year.
The spotlight is on.
With a silver tone, the trophy inlaid with sapphires reflects a blurry halo, which is intoxicating.
Next, there is the Red Pegasus AHQ from the LMS, and C9, who is known as the "Light of North America" and has performed well in foreign battles over the years.
The first three Group A teams stand behind.
As the host + LPL No. 1 seed, EDG made their final appearance.
According to the previous standing order, Meiko, wearing an EDG long-sleeved jersey, was the first to walk out of the player channel, followed by Iboy, Scout, the factory director, Mouse and...Audi? !
【What's going on? 】
[Where is Brother Guangfeng? Why didn't you come up? 】
[No, just let Mouse continue to be on the starting list, what the hell is Audi?]
[Audi? Alto! 】
[Don’t mention it, Audi was at his peak when he debuted. He chased RNG into the spring and killed him with a sword. Unexpectedly, this was the only highlight of his career]
[It’s not that Audi is not good enough to be admitted, it’s that the Audi Prince’s reverse EQ sold the factory director to prevent him from being admitted]
[Hahaha, fuck, that one is so classic]
[EDG can only have one ClearloveRun]
[Stop making trouble, seriously, why didn’t Brother Guangfeng come on stage? I'm so stupid]
[Brother Guangfeng is here, EDG still has some hope, but Brother Guangfeng is not there, who will EDG rely on to go on the road? 】
Starch and Piggy were both a little anxious.
Before the teams from Groups B, C, and D took the stage, they started asking questions in the comment section, post bar, and fan group of EDG's official Weibo. Some die-hard fans also chatted privately with the players and coaches through the contact information they had added previously.
Faced with fans' questions, EDG quickly gave answers.
——[Hello everyone, this is the EDG e-sports club] [At about 1 a.m. on October 3, player Tian (Ye Tian) of the EDG League of Legends branch suddenly developed a high fever and immediately went to the hospital for medical treatment accompanied by the team doctor]
[After an emergency examination at the hospital, he stayed in the hospital for observation at night according to the doctor's instructions. After today's second examination, Tian's physical condition has improved, but he still needs to be hospitalized for rest according to the doctor's orders. The club's team doctor and the division manager will also stay at the hospital to accompany Tian Players receive treatment]
[We are sorry that Player Tian will be away from the competition for a while. We will continue to follow up on Player Tian’s physical condition and wish Player Tian a speedy recovery and return to the team. Come on Tian! 】
Except official language.
EDG fans also got some gossip from the factory director - Ye Tian's little black guy had a fever of up to 42 degrees. If he hadn't been sent to the hospital as soon as possible, he might have died, and the current situation is not particularly stable. .
In addition, Audi is an emergency substitute and Ye Tian is an official substitute, which means that Ye Tian can appear at any time as long as his body recovers and will not be restricted by the rules of the S7 finals.
After seeing EDG's official Weibo and the factory director's answer, Starch and the piggies put their hearts back in their stomachs.
Fever is not a big deal.
It'll be fine soon.
EDG will play against the weakest Red Pegasus AHQ in Group A today. Even if the super strong newcomer cannot play in the top lane, it should not be difficult to beat the second seed in the LMS region with the old lineup that relied on EDG to reach the LPL summer finals... …Bar?
October 5th.
3:30 p.m.
The opening match of the S7 finals was between RNG and 1907 Fenerbahce.
It can be seen from this arrangement that in the official eyes, even though EDG is the champion of this year's summer split and has the largest fan base in the entire LPL, its status is still inferior to RNG, which inherited the double runner-up of the old royal family + the all-China class. , even feel that EDG is not a sure winner against AHQ, so they put RNG vs. 1907 Fenerbahce in the first game.
The result of the first battle was in line with everyone's expectations.
In the e-sports poisonous milk list released by ESPN, the order of combat power of this world finals is SKT, LZ, SSG, RNG, WE. RNG, which is placed in fourth place, is second only to the three LCK teams. On paper The strength can be said to be the first in the non-LCK division.
1907 Fenerbahce was undisputedly at the bottom.
With a mentality of being a lion against a rabbit and using all its strength, RNG came up with a stable lineup that took into account the early, middle and late stages, and attacked step by step. It took 38 minutes and 40 seconds to level 1907 Fenerbahce's base.
The whole audience burst into cheers.
No matter what the opponent is like, if you win, you win.
The second game was G2 vs. SSG. As the strongest team in Europe, G2 really showed its strength in facing the LCK third seed SSG. The two sides went back and forth in a small-scale team battle, and the heads were very tight.
but.
Even if the headcount is tied, SSG still leads G2 by more than 6,000 yuan in economy thanks to its classic Korean operation!
At the end of the game, G2's equipment was widened and unable to withstand SSG's attack. After a wave of dignity in front of the base, they lost the game with a total score of 5-9.
In the third game, LZ used a brawl-style style to destroy IMT, showing the absolute confidence of the LCK champion.
In the fourth game, Vietnamese captain Levi took off in a nightmare and led the team to overthrow the veteran team FNC.
In the fifth game, SKT crushed C9 and showed off its Triple Crown style.
"Hello fellow summoners, what we are about to bring to you is the last game of the day - EDG vs. AHQ, which is also the second game of our LPL team in the World Finals."
Wawa is full of expectations: "I'm really happy to explain the competition in my own division. Before the game, everyone conducted a lot of analysis on EDG's qualifying form. There is a consistent point of view - every point in the group stage is important to EDG. are all crucial."
"That's right." Miller nodded: "In the last game, SKT showed super strength and put a lot of pressure on the other three teams in Group A. If they lose points to a team that shouldn't lose points, points, the situation is not so optimistic.”
The two commentators chatted for a while.
The lineups of EDG and AHQ were selected.
On the blue side, EDG came up with an offensive lineup of top laner Shen, jungler Wild Boar Girl, mid laner Lucian, and bottom laner Big Mouth + Lulu. AHQ used the top laner Big Bug, jungle jungle barrel, mid laner Plane, and bottom laner. The road mouse + wind girl system is biased towards development and later stages.
Early stage.
EDG played very proactively.
Especially Scout's Lucian forced the aircraft to use a small anti-armor.
But as the action of gathering five people to get off the ground failed at 7 minutes and 22 seconds, and the auxiliary heads were sent out instead, the situation became a little bit wrong.
EDG became more and more anxious as they fought.
The longer AHQ drags on, the more stable it becomes.
Compared with the operation of the Korean team, although EDG's operation ability is also good, it cannot open up a large enough economic gap solely by operation. As time goes by, the output of Lucian and the special effects flow Big Mouth becomes increasingly weak, even if EDG kills They have always been ahead in terms of equipment and equipment, and their teamfighting ability is even better, but in the end they cannot resist the fully formed AHQ team.
53 minutes and 53 seconds.
The AHQ team's Liushen-suited giant bug, who ignored all damage, stood in front and led the team to bulldoze the EDG base.
The word "waste" was left to EDG.
"It really can't be beaten."
"[Baptism of the Holy Spear] There's nothing I can do, it can't be washed!"
Wawa shook his head: "I have to say that the AHQ team did better and more patiently than EDG in this game, and is more worthy of this victory."
"AHQ implemented its own lineup's play style, stabilized the situation in the early stage, and successfully completed the reversal in the late stage with the advantage of heroes." Miller pursed his dry lips and reluctantly uttered three words: "Congratulations to AHQ."
[A Dou who is too rubbish and cannot be helped is like a dragon at home and a worm when he goes out]
[The fight was too cowardly]
[Ueno was completely defeated by the opponent, Mouse couldn't beat Ziv, and the director couldn't beat Laoshan]
[AD can’t do it either. A big bug with such a big mouth and so much blood cannot be defeated. I won’t say more about how pitiful it is.]
[Everyone is underestimating EDG, and EDG has not disappointed everyone]
[Is this our No. 1 seed in LPL? 】
[I’m used to it now. The moment I lost, I didn’t feel disappointed, but felt sympathy.]
The comments on the League of Legends main forum are relatively neutral.
Resisting pressure and taking blame are two posts that are known for their aggressiveness, and their words are very fierce.
[As expected of EDG, no matter how many domestic championships they win, they will always be the same in the World Championships. Even if the director's name is changed to Xiao 7, he will still be the same trash Mingkai]
[There is something wrong with my thinking]
[AHQ’s jungle junglers don’t regard Ming Kai as a human being. Even Shen who knows you are on the road dares to ride on your face]
[Can you congratulate EDG in advance for their two consecutive defeats?]
[Hahahaha, the top 16 is stable, SKT will be next, right? Playing with snakes? Civil war is as fierce as a tiger, foreign war is as tough as a dog]
[A group of Sima things]
[EDG is awesome, GG whenever you go to a different place]
[Invincible in the civil war, Sima in the foreign war, fight a team, and explain why it is EDG]
【4396 is indeed 4396】
[Above, I’m afraid you haven’t seen the trash Mingkai OB Mantis’ 1400, right? 】
[Please stop trolling EDG, they are just suffering from jet lag]
Faced with the overwhelming attacks and arrogance, Starch and Piggy couldn't reply a word and could only remain silent. With EDG's performance in this game, what will they use to defeat C9's SKT tomorrow?
There are only six games in the group stage.
By default, they lost two games to SKT and one game to AHQ. The difficulty of qualifying was too high...
…
October 6th.
8pm.
In the finale of the second day, EDG used top laner Rambo, jungler Digger, mid laner Lucian, bottom laner Xia + Feng Nu, against triple crown champion SKT's top laner Big Worm, jungler Prince, and mid laner. Article, bottom lane mouse + Luo.
This one.
EDG seemed to have learned from the pain after losing to AHQ. All members woke up and suppressed SKT throughout the whole process. They scored 5-0 kills and a 5,000 gold lead in 20 minutes.
Twenty-five minutes later, the head count came to 9-0!
According to the commentator, as long as EDG does not make fatal mistakes, they will be able to securely win the game.
Unexpected.
SKT's defense is like an iron wall.
Even though the EDG team, with a lead of 10,000 gold points and three earth dragons in hand, organized and pressed forward again and again, they still couldn't attack for a long time.
In the 29th minute, EDG was too concentrated when clearing troops in the middle. When Luo R flashed W to start a team, the big bug Q [Rupture], the prince EQR, and the clockwork ultimate [Command: Shock Wave] exploded at the same time, and they were held back. Four EDG players except Iboy!
Finished in one wave.
EDG exploded on the spot.
It ruined a good game that had been worked hard for nearly half an hour.
As SKT got the Baron and Ancient Dragon and gradually demolished the EDG team's buildings, the game was finally settled at 44 minutes and 36 seconds.
[Can I still be overturned if I lead by 10,000? 】
【It's cold】
[The top 16 are really stable]
[If C9 loses tomorrow, the factory director will be able to go home directly and save some travel expenses]
[Borrowing 60 seconds from 44 minutes, the end time is 4396]
[Friendly reminder, don’t go to the toilet while watching the EDG live broadcast, otherwise you will be attacked by EDG when you come back]
[One word - coward. In the early stage, I just got angry because I was criticized for losing yesterday. I want to stabilize when I have a slight advantage. In the mid stage, the opponent can't beat EDG at all. I don't even dare to start a team. I just want to delay and win a wave. Push the opposite tower, SKT will win two waves and push you to the end]
[I would like to ask, why does it have an advantage to be economically leading? 】
The audience complained.
This time.
To say EDG lost to C9 is just derogatory.
Not many people really think EDG can lose to C9.
——Comparing the SKT team, EDG was able to suppress SKT for at least half an hour and establish a 10,000 economic lead, while C9 was beaten like a dog by SKT throughout the whole process and did not even have the power to fight back.
Unexpected.
October 7th.
EDG really lost to C9...
"Fuck me!"
Ye Tian looked at the live broadcast and jumped up from the hospital bed: "Damn it, where is my knife?!"
