Chapter 242 I don’t care if these ADs don’t like me, because I’m so awesome
The play-in stage was boring, and the gaps between the weak teams were quite obvious.
Only some games between Japan and Vietnam, which once again want to reach the main draw, are worth watching.
As for the third seed in the four major regions?
In the history of the league, it is rare that the third seed in a major conference has fallen to a wild card.
These garbage wild cards are no different than their Starfuries, you can knead them as much as you want.
So when EDG got off the plane, LCK reporters were waiting there very dedicatedly.
When Xu Yuan, who was wearing a mask and had calm eyes, appeared, their eyes lit up in unison.
As we all know, Xu Yuan's personality is completely opposite to that of most LPL players.
Therefore, in the eyes of the media, interviewing him can reveal something different.
Like hyenas, a dozen reporters hurriedly gathered around, first consciously leaving a passage for the EDG players, and then stretched out the microphones in their hands.
C9 has been playing all the way from the playoffs, and it really showed the style of the major area in the playoffs.
That's fine.
"Savior player, judging from the qualifying rounds, the S8 version no longer favors the bottom lane. Do you believe in your teammates?"
Xu Yuan stopped and glanced at him.
After getting on the bus sent by fist, Xiaotian hesitantly patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder.
"I don't care if the ADs hate me, because they will soon realize how strong I am."
"Just get used to it."
Even though EDG replaced RNG as the No. 1 seed, the results of the draw still didn't change much, at least not for their group.
“League of Legends is a team game, and winning or losing in the lane is related to the victory of the game. I don’t need to emphasize such a simple truth, right?”
Xu Yuan hadn't spoken yet, and Meiko, who also had a plain face, smiled.
Xiao Tian:……
Referred to as Leziren.
But there is not no good news for RNG.
Oh, Uzi may not believe in Letme and xiaohu’s carry abilities.
And that's exactly what reporters want to see.
It was only then that the little genius remembered what Xu Yuan had done.
He spoke steadily and his tone was calm.
The interviewer was shaking all over, purely from excitement.
But he spoke crazier than anyone else.
The opponent in the first game is C9.
The other three teams assigned to the same group are C9, Bee VIT, and GenG from South Korea.
MSI is underestimated and directly criticized ESPN.
burst!
This is really explosive!
Although many AD's statements about hating Xu Yuan are purely made up by him, Xu Yuan's aggressive response can definitely cause a lot of trouble.
He walked out calmly and was about to get on the bus when he heard such a question.
"I hope they won't cry and ask the jungler to help them when they are laning, then I will look down on them."
He didn't take all AD seriously when he debuted, and he dared to say harsh words to Uzi even when his popularity was not as good as Uzi's.
But he is still relatively cautious.
Xu Yuan didn't squint his eyes and had no interest in answering.
Maybe his usual gentleness is his protective color?
After nearly two days of rest, EDG's first game of the World Championship is about to begin.
"Savior player, many ADs said that they don't like your playing style. Although you are very strong in the lane, you still like to call the jungler. They think this is an unconfrontational behavior. Do you agree with this statement?"
No matter where they are, most reporters just watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously.
"Savior player...!"
A truly wild player.
At least they are not the No. 2 seed this time, and the probability of drawing G is really low.
"Savior player, do you think you can win the championship this time?"
Closing the account is considered a success.
Xu Yuan actually didn't quite believe it.
"Brother Yuan, are these words too offensive?"
Although Xiaotian is a bit of a middle schooler, he was able to say the middle-level sayings such as "I am me, I am Tian" after the S9 World Championship finals.
They are all boring questions.
After all the fights here, who doesn’t believe in his teammates?
Although Ueno Fela was unbearable, he could be called a model of European and American failure.
However, the strength of the double-C pair of Jensen and Sneaky in the middle and lower ranks is still online, and it is easy to kill the wild cards and win the game.
Especially Jensen in the middle.
Jensen is nicknamed "Jian Huang". Compared with the Jian family in the LPL, his career path is not as ups and downs, but it is equally bumpy.
He became aggressive at a young age and was permanently banned by Riot Games due to serious violations in 2013. It was not until two years later that the ban was lifted, and then he joined C9 and has been playing until now.
In the future, until S14, he will still be able to get the starting position of the North American team, which can be regarded as getting older and stronger.
Before his debut, the European and American Dharma King was the ice bird's unique skill brother Carrion Root, and the one-god and four-eyed Bilson.
After his debut, the European and American Dharma King became known as Jianhuang. He and G2 will always be the king perkz.
In the future, maybe we will add Caps.
But now Jian Huang is much calmer.
Before the World Championship, someone asked him, "What do you think of FNC's mid laner Caps' performance?"
If it were Jian Huang who was 15 years old, he would probably give the camera a vicious middle finger:
Don't compare that crap to me!
However, the 18-year-old just replied lightly:
He is a very good and powerful mid laner, and I admire his operation.
Of course, this may also be related to the excellent performance of Caps today.
After all, Emperor Jian also had a keen eye.
Needless to say, the strength of Caps is really exaggerated.
As a member of EU, he was born in North American C9 and should have spoken harshly to Caps from European FNC.
However, if you can't beat him with harsh words... that would be too embarrassing.
"Kill the bottom lane gently now. If I don't see the cosplay then it will be your fault, Brother Yuan."
Xiaotian was a little nervous before the start of the game, so he said some flirty words to ease his mood.
C9’s AD is a famous cross-dresser and has done many cosplays.
What a Lux, what a Sivir.
Indeed...it's really good!
"If you don't let him counterattack in the jungle for ten minutes against the opposite jungler, practice counterjungling for an extra hour when you go back."
Xu Yuan spoke lightly.
Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed, "I'm super, don't!"
Xu Yuan said that practicing that can really get people to practice. Some passerby junglers he doesn't know always make him black-eyed.
The two that impressed Xiaotian the most.
One is called Tarzan and the other is Canyon.
They are all old rivals in the high-end games of the Korean server, with ridiculously high scores.
The EDG players were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
however……
"Is something going to happen?"
Some viewers of the LPL are not as confident as the players.
Because they believe more in metaphysics.
On the one hand, something always goes wrong in every LPL World Championship.
"Heat will kill you" seems to have become a law.
There are always LPL teams with the mentality of "If someone has to do the whole thing, why can't it be me?"
Then they suffered a disastrous defeat in the group stage and got out of the top 16.
Let everyone's eyes go dark.
Now when it comes to popularity, is there anything more popular than EDG?
On the other hand, C9 is also a bit evil.
Starting from S3, they have been able to enter the World Championship every year.
Except for the 5-3 failure to qualify in S3, they have reached the quarterfinals almost every year.
There was even a year when the first round started 0-3, but they suddenly qualified.
No matter which group they are assigned to, they can qualify extremely well.
[Within the top eight, I am a singer, but outside of the top eight, I am invincible]
This is the best evaluation of C9.
No one can remember a top eight team unless it is a top eight team every year.
For example, EDG in the past, and C9 at this time.
Therefore, even when playing C9, some viewers who are more superstitious about metaphysics still have nervous hands that are sweating.
They really don't want EDG to become that "hot guy who will die".
However, their worries are entirely unfounded.
"What the opponent's mid laner is good at is..., we'll wait a minute..., and then try to focus on..., hold him down and you'll win."
"Don't have any problem with your vision. Fight every shot as if it's the last one!"
kkoma continued to give instructions as always, even if the opponent was C9.
This is the calmness and stability of the older generation of Korean coaches.
The players nodded very seriously without any doubt.
After a whole spring and a whole summer, EDG at this time has completely become a rope, and they also sincerely recognize kkoma's ability.
BP did it quickly, and the game entered the loading screen amidst the cheers from the scene.
Blue Square EDG:
Top lane sword demon
jungle nightmare
Mid laner Akali
Bottom set of skate shoes plus thresh
Red side C9:
Shan Shen
Jungler Xin Zhao
Mid lane ice girl
Bottom lane team Kasa Gallo
Judging from the overall lineup, there seems to be no problem with C9's lineup, and none of the heroes selected are junk.
You can even think of the scenes that will appear when playing in a group.
Ice Girl stayed, Xin Zhao brought Luo into the field, and Kai'Sa was shrouded in the light of Shen's ultimate move to harvest.
Very good teamfight configuration.
However, this is exactly the trap KKoma set for C9!
Because this lineup is so fierce in team fights, there is one biggest problem:
What about line rights?
Needless to say, the Sword Demon beats Shen. Although Shen's strength is not low, Smeb Sword Demon's proficiency explodes. At the same level, the Sword Demon will draw tops after the third level.
There is definitely no right to go on the road.
It is also difficult for the ice girl in the middle to get lane rights.
Because the current Akali is the Akali that has just been revised.
The R skill list kills confusion not only with a stun in R, but it is also a non-directional skill.
This means she can even place it into open space.
Once Nightmare and Akali reach level 6 and attack the Ice Girl together, even if they are given two Ice Girls, they may not be able to survive.
So under normal circumstances, Ice Girl's advantageous line power will only last until level six.
Once Akali reaches level 6, the ice girl will have to pay attention at all times.
Not to mention the bot lane.
Although Kai'Sa still has a late-stage curve and can serve as a big core.
However, the period of exertion is too late.
Kai'Sa in the laning phase is already rubbish, and paired with an extremely soft Rakan.
There is no lane right in the bottom lane.
Unless...Xu Yuan is seriously ill.
kkoma guided C9 step by step to choose such a team battle lineup, but from the beginning he had no intention of engaging in mid- to late-game team battles with C9.
What he wants is to defeat him in the early stage!
Even if they can't defeat them, the two single-band lines of Akali and Sword Demon in the mid-to-late stage will definitely make C9 miserable.
The team battle curve in the later stage is also supported by the upper, midfield and skateboard shoes.
This is the lineup that KKoma believes is the most versatile in this version, and it can be called the version formula.
It can be said that from the BP stage kkoma can completely say:
I have beaten him so much!
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Xu Yuan is in very good condition now.
How good is it?
Luo's Q basically never hit him.
There is no choice to press at the first level. After grabbing the second level, take the lead in setting up the vision, and only start to press hard after making sure that the jungler is not coming.
Use various weird angles to let your Q hit the opposite Sneaky.
His extra points are very violent. Instead of the main E, he chooses the main Q.
Because although the damage of level one Q of skateboard shoes is horribly low, it only has 20 points of basic damage.
However, the second level Q suddenly rises to a base damage of 110.
Faced with Xu Yuan's constant consumption, Sneaky's Kai'Sa was tired of coping and gave Meiko a chance.
When the second level player pressed forward with Xu Yuan, he decisively flashed E, forcing Sneaky to flash.
When assistant Thresh used his own flash to replace Kai'Sa's flash, Kai'Sa had completely lost the qualification to compete with skateboarding shoes.
So when the C9 jungler was ready to play more than five minutes later, he found that Kai'Sa's blood volume was only about , and her purification and flash were gone.
The C9 jungler was dumbfounded on the spot.
How to catch this?
Brothers who have played jungle should know that in this situation, it is completely impossible to catch the jungler alone!
If he dares to come, Xu Yuan will just fight two against three.
Kai'Sa's health status was too low, and she basically lost her fighting ability.
However, because of the jungler's downward movement, Sneaky subconsciously took a step forward even though he couldn't speak through voice communication.
Meiko's eyes lit up and she seized the opportunity to decisively use Q.
Luo Yi gritted his teeth and moved his E onto AD, helping him block the Q.
As a result... not only was his own blood volume depleted, but his weakness was also knocked out.
When he saw the C9 jungler position appearing in the middle river, Xu Yuan did not hesitate and took action directly.
Jump over the tower!
"Are we going to jump over the tower now?"
"EDG's bottom lane is a little too aggressive, isn't it? It's crazy!"
"I swear on my uncle Tom's socks, I've never seen anything like this!"
"Oh shit, Sneaky! What are you doing?!"
"I'm very angry. I don't need you to cast spells tonight!"
The comments from European and American audiences were equally outrageous.
Some are touting it, and some are talking about using Sneaky’s cosplay to cast spells on it.
As for what is spellcasting? I understand everything.
What we say here is... craft work. Xu Yuan's timing was very good, and Kai'Sa and Luo, who were still alive, had no choice but to retreat.
Because if they don’t withdraw, the skateboard shoes will really be overtaken by them.
In less than five or six minutes, C9's bottom lane has been beaten to the second tower.
Although there are differences in players' personal abilities, what's more, the combination chosen by C9 is simply rubbish.
C9's bottom lane combination is so fierce in the team fight with Queshi, so here comes the problem.
Why let you develop peacefully into a team battle?
Xu Yuan dared to play Casaro with Meiko because their laning ability was enough to make up for some of the strength in the line.
Your C9 bottom lane... why?
No matter what level you are, you dare to play the same bot lane as us!
In terms of cosplay and women's clothing, Sneaky is undoubtedly pro and absolutely professional.
In the field of AD...Xu Yuan is the more professional pro!
you pro?
I'm pro!
He reached the second tower in six minutes, and returned home in seven and a half minutes to directly help the team win the vanguard.
Rejecting Xiaotian's idea of putting Pioneer in the bottom lane, Xu Yuan smiled.
"Now that the push is over, how can I let the opponent AD go to jail?"
It’s not that pushing the tower is unattractive, but raising pigs is more cost-effective.
Although he kept pressing, Xu Yuan was very considerate and allowed his opponent to take a breath from time to time.
And he will skillfully enter the opposite jungle area, and kindly help the opposite jungler to clean up some wild monsters that are too late to clean up.
He's really... nice to Asashi.
The C9 jungler, who had been busy for nine minutes, almost lost his breath as soon as he entered his lower jungle area.
"Fake! Where's my toad? Where's my blue?!"
The remaining three wolves, B, looked at him with innocent eyes, as if to say:
I don’t know.
In 107 minutes, the last-hit difference in the bottom lane has become 64 knives to knives.
Now even if Uzi comes, it will still cost 13 knives.
All I can say is that the version really needs to be updated, "If Xu Yuan doesn't overwhelm the opponent by forty dollars, he will definitely be overpowered~"
Go home and make a rundown.
When the skate shoes came online again, he took Thresh and forcibly passed the bottom lane group of C9.
This wave of overcoming the tower was very simple. Two or three insidious soldier-penetrating Q's stabbed the cowering Kai'Sa to half health, and then led the troops into the tower. Thresh suddenly attacked.
Xu Yuan purified and released the charmed state, dodged Luo's lift, and reached the back of the defense tower.
He kept the distance and jumped behind Kaisha, cutting off his retreat.
After Luo surrendered his weakness, he stood up and started masturbating.
Because weakness comes with a deceleration effect, jumping with skateboard shoes at this time will waste the output.
When Meiko's tower resistance reached its limit, the Poké Ball took back Meiko and turned her into a hedgehog for Kaisha.
He waited for the weakness to end before pulling out his spear. Even though Sneaky reacted quickly and used R to block part of the output, it was still useless.
The damage is too explosive.
After killing Kai'Sa, Luo's retreat position was blocked.
Wait for Xiaotian, who has controlled Xiaolong, to come over and cross over Luo again.
Highlight a relaxed and freehand style.
EDG's mid-to-upper level is even easier than him.
Smeb has already started swimming.
Now the Sword Demon is resurrected, just mention it.
He handled the first three levels very well and didn't give any chance.
During the strong period, he suddenly exerted his strength and started to draw tops.
The top laner for C9 has already killed twice.
In fact, Smeb in the original S8 World Championship was not so strong, but now Smeb has maintained his peak style under EDG's exaggerated training intensity.
The meaning of training for players is to maintain their condition.
More training doesn't necessarily make you stronger. But it will definitely make you in better condition and allow you to perform better within your capabilities.
With the success of this tower jump, C9's bottom lane completely collapsed.
Xu Yuan even had time to go to the jungle to arrest C9's jungler, which directly led to the current C9 jungle area becoming a restricted area.
As for Shangzhong, Li Sang Hyuk reached the sixth level and cooperated with Xiao Tian to kill Jian Huang once.
Coupled with Smeb, who is already a dragon, the advantage is also huge.
As a result, the Ueno area is also full of dangers.
C9's jungler is numb, what should we do?
The wild areas on both sides are the same as the damn life restricted areas. Can humans enter?
He is just a C9 jungler, he is not the Wushi Emperor!
EDG has been operating smoothly all the way. C9 is like the national football team meeting Argentina, and like the War Eagle meeting Xiaoshen, with no ability to fight back.
"Fake, isn't this a little too frustrating!?"
Although Jian Huang's temper had changed a lot, he couldn't help but complain at this time.
He always wanted to swim away, after all, he was playing Ice Girl.
However, Lee Sang Hyuk was too experienced and the greasiness made him feel a little nauseous.
As a result, he never found any good opportunities. I can only watch the situation collapse. But nothing can be done.
That kind of pain is simply heartbreaking!
It hurts, it hurts too much!
Riot, why, why did you assign us to the EDG group?
GenG should be nothing to EDG, but they are also a strong enemy to C9.
The chance of qualifying for the knockout round seems a bit slim...
Eternally eliminated, ruined with all your eyes!
The more anxious Jian Huang is, the more opportunities C9 will give EDG.
The more opportunities he is given, the more anxious he becomes!
The game time was twenty-three minutes and eleven seconds, and EDG completed the speed pass against C9.
However, one of EDG's three C's also died once.
This is the last stubbornness of C9.
Even if I can't beat you, don't even think about overtaking them!
“so beautiful!”
The European commentator smiled.
"This is the strength of EDG!"
"As the current favorites to win the championship, they fully demonstrated their suppression power. They did not give C9 any chance to come back from the beginning to the end. They announced to the world: World Championship, we are here!"
"Of course, it's also possible that C9's capabilities may be too lacking."
He paused and showed an ambiguous smile.
"After all, it is an NA team, so it is normal that its strength is limited."
This seems to be quite euphemistic, using the words "maybe" and "maybe".
However, in fact, he almost pointed at the North American region and cursed:
I wonder what kind of strength you have?
Let our EU team be absolutely different!
Regardless of whether I can win or not, I will definitely last longer than you.
They still have this little bit of confidence.
On the barrage, the NA and EU audiences almost went crazy with curses.
"Fake Squid C9! Fake Squid Jensen! Fake Squid EU! Fake Squid all! Fake Squid Worldwide!"
This is crazy NA fandom.
"NA>EU! NA>EU! NA>EU!"
This is a repeater.
"EU is your father, you brats!"
This is a proud EU fan.
"Hahaha, C9 is just the third seed, why are EU's bad dogs so impatient?"
This is an NA fan who insists on being tough.
It can only be said that the pig-dog battle in the LPL is just for fun. If it is really an aggressive derby, it will cause Europe to beat North America.
The Korean audience and the LPL audience watched indifferently, feeling nothing.
What are these dishonest messes up to? [Meme, not a typo]
Most LCK viewers and LPL viewers have no interest in their love and hatred.
It doesn't matter, we are both the same grass!
Although this year’s LCK doesn’t have much confidence, it still has some potential.
Just like the middle brother of many Korean men.
It's a bit small, but it's still there.
The little one is also very cute.
[Trivia: The average length of Korean men is , which is at the bottom even in Asia. 】
KT's strength is still acceptable, and their dominance in the league is equally impressive.
When he stood up to shake hands, Xu Yuan was very polite.
After all, C9 has no conflict with him.
But when he walked up to Sneaky, he was a little surprised.
Because from a close look, Sneaky is clearly a man, but his skin is very fair and his facial features are softer.
At this time, Sneaky may feel a little uncomfortable because he lost the game.
With a forced smile on his face and red eyes, he silently stretched out his hand to shake Xu Yuan's hand.
But it highlights the delicate temperament even more.
Xu Yuan remained calm on the surface.
It's actually breathtaking.
Maybe this is Sneaky's "talent".
After this game, EDG's first day of competition is over.
The current group stage is not the Swiss round yet. Generally speaking, you only need to play one game a day.
Unless the two teams have the same score, a playoff will be required to determine the first place or qualifying spot.
However, EDG was not so relaxed when he returned to the lounge.
kkoma reviewed the game as always, even if it was a crushing game.
Xu Yuan remembered one of his words particularly clearly.
"You may think that such a game has little value in reviewing."
"But as the favorite to win the championship, in every game we play in the World Championship, countless opponents will analyze our video."
“Even if it’s just a small mistake or a small habit, you may get caught.”
"Maybe it's just a subconscious positioning, or a simple eye positioning habit."
"Kids, you don't want to lose the S8 championship because of some small mistakes, right?"
This Korean coach is very conscientious.
Although what he said sounded familiar to Xu Yuan, he felt like he had heard it in some strange videos.
But it does make sense.
The next day, they faced GenG, arguably the biggest opponent in the group stage.
However, this one is also a speed pass.
GenG is really a bit too good this year.
The version of the World Championship is a nightmare for a team like them that is used to delaying in the late stages.
During the game, GenG fans were so sick that they felt like vomiting when they saw Xu Yuan and Lee Sang Hyuk killing each other like crazy.
Both Xu Yuan and Li Sang Hyuk are their major concerns.
One is the person who stepped on them to win the S7 championship, and the other is the person who previously suppressed them in the LCK and left them breathless.
Now, in the game against GenG, they are killing like crazy.
Why doesn't this make them angry?
However, Xu Yuan didn't care about that much.
Samsung?
I will attack and break it!
This is a matter of principle.
Xu Yuan can't be soft when he encounters Samsung.
The reason is simple, because he is demolishing Nice.
The most wolf-warrior episode!
October 12th, capital time, at 9pm.
EDG's third group match, against Bee VIT, started on time.
The reason why VIT has such a nickname is because their team logo looks a bit like a bee.
As an e-sports club established in 2013, it is not too early for them to join the League of Legends project.
Therefore, the strength aspect is naturally more worrying.
However, although it is a la carte, it is developing very rapidly, otherwise it would not be possible to enter this year's World Championship.
And they have an advantage that many teams don’t have:
Never give up.
Many rebellious teams always like to believe in their own understanding, and they still persist even if they get a bloody blow.
However, VIT always follows the good news.
Good tactics? Copied.
Good system? Copied.
Good BP? Copied.
He never goes against the version and is good at referring to successful cases.
Whatever lineup others in the LCK and LPL like to play, their VIT will play whatever lineup they want.
It can be called Europe’s copy ninja.
Of course, their BP and system will naturally become more rigid.
Now I meet KKoma who is flexible in thinking...
It can only be described as suffering from old age.
Using the swing position in the middle, VIT was stunned directly.
A 9-minute speedrun is even faster than playing C.
Now, the North American audience also laughed.
“10% off water bottle?”
"Who said yesterday that North America can't work? Hello?"
"EU doesn't seem to work well either, hahaha!"
"Well done, EDG! I have become an EDG fan!"
“It feels like it’s not as good as us!”
Inexplicably, EDG attracted another wave of European and American fans.
All I can say is that it’s true.
European audiences enjoyed EDG's abuse of North America and became fans.
North American fans enjoyed EDG's abuse of Europe and became fans too.
I don’t know what they are happy about.
Easily 3-0 in the first round, this is EDG's current dominance.
I can only say that this record is ordinary and routine.
The words are divided into two ends, and the RNG on the other side is miserable.
(End of this chapter)
