Chapter 101 Is he LZ? We are still EDG!
“No, why is this person B so arrogant?”
"Wouldn't it be better to advance to the top eight?"
UZI's originally proud face immediately changed: "I entered the World Championship three times, and twice I was the runner-up without saying a word. How can he be so mad after entering the quarterfinals? Do you know that the most important thing for a professional player is to control his emotions, which one? Players don’t dance like him when they win competitions!”
Speaking of which.
UZI remembered the old story that Ye Tian had uncovered before - S3 and S4 were a civil war all the way, and S6 was beaten home when they met SKT. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, for fear of being pointed out by their teammates.
Fortunately, other people in RNG either really didn't think of it, or they were pretending to be confused and didn't dare to offend the star player in the team.
"That's right."
Xiaohu repeatedly echoed: "It's true that a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, and it can't hold two ounces of oil in its belly... Well, I'm talking metaphorically, not a real dog."
"Yes." Letme pointed to the comment area: "Look, many people are scolding him."
"Really?" UZI craned his neck to see clearly the text and some familiar IDs on Letme's phone, and his eyes lit up.
[Don’t pretend, the more you scream now, the harder you will fall later]
[Get another top eight and join the top eight in the same city? 】
[I’ll cry when I draw LZ]
[Some No. 1 seeds swept the promotion 6-0, and some No. 1 seeds had a fierce battle with North America's No. 3 seeds]
[Is this the quality of professional players? Group teasing? 】
[When you are broadcasting, you are fighting RNG, when you are playing in the summer season, you are playing RNG, and when you are in the World Championship, you are fighting RNG? RNG is your father? 】
[Follow the waste Mingkai and let the top eight go home]
Jagged HZ and GSL were the first to rush forward, giving each other compliments, hugging each other for warmth, and having a great time.
The more UZI read, the happier she became. She couldn't help but extend her finger to Letme's phone and slide it down.
Cursor drag.
Two new comments caught UZI's eyes.
——[I wonder if Brother Tian didn’t name him by name, why would anyone come up to scold him?]
——[Let me tell you the truth, if you throw a stone into a doghouse, the one that screams the loudest will definitely be the one that is hit]
"hiss……"
UZI's head turned red when he saw the two words that pierced his soul. He perfectly controlled his emotions to the critical point between dangerous temperature and overheating.
"Watch the draw. Watch the draw." Letme realized something was wrong and quickly turned off the screen of her phone.
In the live broadcast screen.
Following the host’s introduction.
Two familiar rules emerge before the audience.
The first is that the team that qualified first in the group stage will face the second-placed team from other groups. The second is that the two teams that qualified from the same group will not be assigned to the same half zone.
The former is the benefit of being first in the group, and can draw weaker opponents most of the time.
After all, in this competition system, all teams will try their best to be first in the group. Even if there is a comparison between the second place in the [death group] and the first place in the [walk group], there is often a certain gap in strength.
The latter is to ensure the enjoyment of the game - teams that compete in the same group will never meet unless they enter the finals together, so it will not be easy for these people to suffer from the visual fatigue of fighting back and forth.
With the host invitation.
Four auxiliary players, Wolf, Gorilla, Ming, and Ben, represented the team.
Icon, who was wearing a crisp suit, walked to the center of the stage as a guest, came to the No. 1 pool where four silver spheres were placed, reached out and took out the first ball.
Unscrew the ball.
Display team banner.
Above it is the RNG team logo with gold letters on a green background.
then.
Icon reached out again and took the first place in the group that was in the same half zone as RNG.
This team is... SKT!
"not bad!"
RNG coach Feng Ge nodded: "Since SKT is in the same half zone as us, it means that we will not encounter LCK's No. 1 seed LZ before the finals, nor will we encounter EDG, which is best at fighting civil wars. Although SKT is also a strong team, The team is in relatively average shape this year and we have a chance to beat them!”
Another half zone.
The WE team took the lead and LZ filled in the remaining holes.
When the support players of the remaining four teams are invited to the stage, they will be drawn from the second seed pool to determine the quarterfinals.
Based on the principle of avoidance in the same group, everyone had their guesses on which teams they were going to fight, and they were able to pinpoint two of them.
——RNG’s opponent cannot be EDG or SSG in the same group. It can only be one of FNC and MSF. Based on the performance of European and American teams in recent years, it is not an exaggeration to say that RNG is a walk-off to the top four.
The real excitement is on the other side.
"Give them a shot, give them a shot!"
UZI clenched his fists to encourage Icom: "Draw out SSG first. SSG won't be in the same half zone as us. The one who jumps over to hit is WE... Wow, it feels good. They really drew LZ!"
EDG's opponent is either LZ or WE.
Since SSG and WE are drawn together.
What EDG will face in the quarter-finals is naturally the LCK No. 1 seed LZ, who are invincible in the division and swept everything 6-0 in the group stage!
【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha doesn’t lick LZ.】
[There is also a gap between the No. 1 seeds]
[Wuba City, it’s done! 】
[OMG is the vanguard of the fight against Korea at all times. Regardless of whether they play a game or not, ICON, the protector of the country, not only helped RNG and WE draw good lots, but also sent away the civil war fantasy god who disrupted the situation]
[I hope RNG and WE will compete for runner-up in the Bird's Nest]
["When EDG breaks through the top eight, I will divorce you." He said lightly. After hearing this, she felt warm in her heart. She thought, there is no longer-lasting promise than this.——Best Micro-Novel of 2017 award】
[I want to prove here that I am the best jungler in the world]
[Genius jungler? See newcomer Cleralove8】
[LZ: I’m here. It’s impossible for the factory director to go to the Bird’s Nest. The director smiled coldly, loosened his clenched fists slightly, and revealed a ticket for Seat 96, Row 3, Section 4, Bird's Nest Stadium]
[I just hope that EDG can play something with LZ, so that if RNG wins the championship, EDG will also have one-third of the credit]
The barrage is crazy and funny.
With the other half drawn out, the quarterfinals lineup is determined.
RNG-vs-FNC
SKT-vs-MSF
WE-vs-SSG
LZ-vs-EDG
“Oops!”
"This draw is a bit difficult for EDG. It can be said to be a hellish draw."
The camera returned to the commentary box, and Changmao's voice had a bit of yin and yang in it: "To be honest, based on EDG's historical record, as long as they don't draw LZ, there is a very high probability of breaking the curse of the top eight, but the performance is almost LZ is in an invincible state... I can only say that I believe in EDG.”
"Believe in EDG." Special guest Shen Chao said very seriously: "RNG and WE have good draws. I think it can be said that they are the best. As the number one seed, EDG does bear the greatest pressure in the LPL division, but they are not It’s not that there is no chance of winning, at least I think EDG has the ability to fight.”
"Anyway, I got the draw, so just believe it first." Rita was not optimistic about what she said.
Compared to LCK third seed SSG, who was double-killed by RNG and even suffered zero blocks, LZ showed overwhelming strength in the group stage. In the advantageous game, it can roll out unsolvable snowballs, and in the disadvantageous game, it can rely on classic Korean style Operations made an ultimate comeback.
What's even more frightening is that in addition to the bottom lane, the other three positions of the LZ team were practicing heroes in various ways in the group stage. Khan in the top lane even took out his dog's head, which stands out for not treating other teams as human beings.
It can be seen that the 6-0 group points is the limit stipulated by the competition, not the limit of LZ.
The LZ team really needs to go all out to play, maybe it will be a speed run of six games that takes more than 20 minutes!
…
"Do you know what's more important?"
After the lottery ceremony, Perfect OB spoke plausibly in the live broadcast room: "EDG is not good at other positions. It just relies on a newcomer to have a hard C. However, EDG's Tian can carry in the summer finals and group stage. It mainly plays routines and takes advantage of newcomers' benefits. Hard power is still there." Far from it. Let’s look at the LZ team. Their top laner is LCK Summer Finals MVP-Khan.”
"Find you a video."
Said.
Perfect OB pulled out the material that was saved in advance: "Did you see it? Jayce was 1v4 underground, killing Huni and Faker in a row, almost taking away Wolf, and he was still able to leave after killing him. This is the level of the world's number one top laner!"
【Wow, so strong】
[LCK hits the road with each one stronger than the other]
[How come I haven’t heard of such an awesome top orderer before]
[Let me do some popular science. Khan used to be called Hanlabong, and he was the orange brother who smashed Marin+Houye+Bang+Wolf]
[Is Smeb strong in S6? When he was the strongest, he was single-killed by Khan]
[A song "Liangliang" is given to G in a different place]
[The cool night makes me miss you? 】【Hahaha God TM in a box! 】
[The knockout round is going to Guangzhou, it’s really a box-set]
All HZ and GSL were in high spirits, as if they had seen EDG being carried away.
Entering the quarterfinals?
Let’s make it to the top eight!
Still want to capture RNG to fight a civil war?
Leng Shao Icon will directly draw a LZ for you to see how you die!
Many HZ and GSL are thinking that when EDG is swept out by LZ three to zero, they will go to the post bar and live broadcast room to set the rhythm crazily, and they must spray that violent dog until he becomes autistic and has no courage to play professionally. Contest.
…
The outside world is overwhelmingly negative.
The atmosphere inside EDG is not very pleasant either.
Although they made it out of the group stage with four consecutive victories and found a Jiugongge hotpot restaurant to celebrate, Abramovich and Maokai were obviously forcing a smile, making it clear that they did not think EDG was LZ's opponent.
"Are you afraid?"
Ye Tian picked up a large piece of hairy tripe, rinsed it in seven ups and downs, stuffed it into his mouth covered in oil and vinegar sauce, and looked around the table, waiting for the others' answers.
"What are you afraid of?"
The director of the factory was the first to deny it: "I've already gathered the four eight paintings of the useless Ming Kai, and I'm still afraid of the five eights from the same city? The worst I can do is get another top eight!"
"Then you are still afraid." Ye Tian swallowed the hairy belly and said: "We haven't started playing yet, why are you thinking about the fifth quarter-finals? No wonder they call you Zhuge Mingkai. You must calculate defeat before winning, right? "
"No, you little... forget it." The factory director scratched his hair, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "LZ is really difficult to play. They were ranked second in the world before, and their ranking after the group stage is We are No. 1 in the world, but our current situation... we can only compete with them.”
"Are you sure you want to fight hard and not how to protect KDA?" Ye Tianxia took the medicine.
"Why are you protecting KDA?" The factory director was really angry: "It's hard to get rid of them if you're afraid of them. Just wait and see, I'll have a fight with them this time!"
Top eight every year.
Get scolded every year.
The factory director has been holding back a fire in his heart.
To know.
The factory director is not the kind of player who has no honors since his debut and can say with a straight face that "reaching the semi-finals is considered a success."
In the first two years of his debut, the director of the old WE team named Nuoyan was the hope of the entire division.
Especially after the IPL5 championship was won, even if it was not a particularly formal event, the promotion of the first championship in the division was overwhelming, and the factory director received countless praises.
Even though the team's thigh is smiling, under the circumstances that Strawberry is the king of pressure resistance, Ruofeng's laning ability is extremely average, and the support can only be used to move the eye stone, the factory director is undoubtedly the best in the old WE.
Think about the past.
Think again about now.
Even though the factory director had a good attitude and was able to make fun of all the trash talk he got slapped in the face, he couldn't stand it any longer.
TNND!
How much worse could it be? !
"To be honest, it's not that we don't have confidence."
"The LZ team is particularly strong."
Abramovich discussed the matter: "And we chose one of the three, and the other two were basically guaranteed wins. Two-thirds of the draws that were close to a guaranteed win were not drawn. The gap was indeed a bit big when the team LZ was drawn."
"Yes, both RNG and WE are easy to beat." Iboy thought it made sense and muttered in a low voice.
"Xiao Zhao, what did you say?" Ye Tian turned his head and hesitated.
"I said... I said RNG and WE are both easy to beat... is there anything wrong with me?" Iboy was startled by Ye Tian's menacing look.
"Damn sister... Abramovich, who has been in the top eight for four times, said this, so I couldn't bear it. They lost again and again. It's normal to have no ambition." Ye Tian stared at Iboy: "Who are you? You are the first genius AD in LPL. , is the LPL summer champion who climbed to the top with UZI. It only took two months from officially playing in the LPL to the top eight of the World Championship. It’s only been two months, and you’re trying to pick on the weak?”
"Do you still want to have a future with your B personality?"
"Let me tell you, if you only want the semi-finals or runner-up, luck in the draw is very important. If you are lucky, you can be like UZI. The Korean team could not reach the finals before, and you can win the runner-up in the civil war; but if you want to win the championship, you can Don’t be afraid of any team, because in the end, you will definitely encounter the strongest one!”
Listen to the first paragraph.
Abu used his dual-core brain to analyze Ye Tian's meaning.
Black lines appeared on his face involuntarily.
But the further he listened, the paler his face became. In the end, a trace of imperceptible shame appeared in Abu, who was as thick-skinned as a city wall and kept his composure even when using his "sister" to engage in palace fights.
Abu is still like this.
Others are even more obvious.
Maokai drank a few glasses of wine, and his face seemed to be covered with a red cloth. He was hesitant and unable to say anything.
White Lotus Meiko lowered her head.
The factory director was a little unable to resist, and clenched his fingers under the table again and again.
Clang——
suddenly.
The factory director slammed the table: "Ye Tian is right. If you only want to be in the semi-finals or runner-up, you will depend on your fortune. If you want to win the championship, you will play against the strongest team sooner or later, so you can't be afraid of anything!"
"The first two years were okay. In the past two years, we talked about fighting hard and winning the championship. In fact, we didn't have the confidence and belief to win the championship. We were just a bunch of trash lying on the fig leaf of the 'Civil War Fantasy God'. If it weren't for Ye Tian this year, , we can’t even be the phantom gods of the civil war... Think about it, where is the person who just entered the professional circle?"
This sentence is given by the factory director to others.
It is also given to myself.
Which player is not the most unmatched passerby in Rank?
Which professional player was not high-spirited when he first entered the professional circle and wanted to ascend to the highest throne?
Which player would subconsciously avoid a difficult battle before his morale is drained?
No.
None.
In any field, you are sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.
This is especially true in the professional world.
It is said that those who seek the upper part will get it, those who seek the lower part will get it, and those who seek the lower part will get nothing.
The lower the goal is set, the worse the results will be. A large part of the reason why EDG is getting worse year by year is that it is old, rotten, and has no enterprising spirit!
Before the group stage, the director said something nice. The first three games were all ClearloveRun. The average output ratio per game was not even as good as the Censer Monster support who was only responsible for adding shields. He was forced into a desperate situation before he thought of fighting for his life.
This mentality is obviously not acceptable.
Gritting his teeth hard.
The factory director made up his mind to act recklessly in the first game with LZ. He would rather ruin the overall situation and become the blame point than be a coward anymore!
"Yes, don't be afraid of anything!"
"I'm so scared to do it with them!"
"What happened to LZ? Is he LZ? We are still EDG!"
Everyone was aroused and shouted loudly. Even the junior boy Scout, who could not understand human speech very well, stretched out his fist and waved in confusion.
"You shout like this, but in your heart you still feel that there is little hope of winning against LZ."
Ye Tian leaned on the chair and smiled: "But let me tell you, LZ is not as strong as you think. When you watch the game, you feel that LZ is invincible. In fact, their advantages are as obvious as their shortcomings - their way to win the game is The reason is that their bottom lane is not strong enough to open up the situation with their individual abilities, so they have to tilt to the top lane. "
"Pray and Gorilla are too old. In terms of honor, they are only lower than Bang+Wolf. In terms of status, Bang+Wolf has to call them seniors. Especially in the big environment in Korea, I don’t need to say how much power Pray and Gorilla have. Bar?"
Pray, Gorilla.
Nicknamed Xuan Ming Er Lao.
Among them, Pray was the first-generation Rat King of the LCK. In the S3 season, he faced the world's No. 1 ADC with a smile. In the S6 season, he used Ashe on the ROX Tiger team to dominate the country with one stone, almost overthrowing the then invincible SKT. .
Gorilla also debuted in that legendary era, changing three different teams and winning the LCK championship. If it weren't for Wolf's outstanding performance in the World Championship, the number one supporter not named M should fall on Gorilla.
"If UZI is the uncrowned king of the LPL division, Pray and Gorilla are the uncrowned king combination of the LCK division."
Ye Tian said something meaningful.
Hear the words.
The factory director blinked.
Discover that things are not simple.
The title [Uncrowned King] is a good word, but when UZI is involved...especially when Ye Tian involves UZI, there are a lot of things to say.
What is UZI’s character?
There is the stubbornness of [The Royal Family is all mine in C], there is the self-righteousness of Rank who gives up and doesn’t practice even after playing a dozen or so games of Kasumi, and there is the fanatical self-confidence of having to bring support to the line in 2v3 even if he knows he will be caught, Emotional behavior that tends to get worse when you are stressed...
UZI is like this.
What about Pray and Gorilla, who are both [Uncrowned Kings]?
“In addition to the bottom lane news, I have another promise for you.”
Ye Tian stood up, lowered himself and faced everyone in EDG: "LZ's Khan on the road, I'm more than 80% sure to beat him!"
