When EDG everyone walked into the competition venue, the stadium was already full.

The audience in Wuhan is still very enthusiastic about this S7.

As soon as the EDG people stepped into the stadium, they heard the tsunami-like cheers.

You know, it's just the play-in tournament now.

Chen Ye looked at the audience chanting in the venue, and unconsciously sighed in his heart.

After everyone took their seats, today's game officially began.

"It's going to be an easy game today, right? I don't think it's hard for WE to qualify from here. ”

After Brother Saint Spear sat in his seat, he directly poked his head over, looked at Chen Ye and asked.

Chen Ye thought for a while, then nodded.

"In the qualifiers, there are no particularly strong teams. Judging by WE's form in the bubble race, winning the game is still not a big problem. ”

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the front of the stage again.

At this time, the game has officially entered the line period.

Seeing this, Brother Saint Lance nodded slightly and sat back in his seat.

In the end, there were no surprises in the result.

WE faced the opponent in the first game of the play-in tournament and won its own opening blow with a crisp victory.

After the game, the EDG people directly asked WE and a few people out for dinner.

After the continental competition, the relationship between several teams has been brought closer a lot.

Many of the players in the team have also established good personal relationships.

So, after the game, make an appointment for dinner.

This has become a common thing for both teams.

After dinner, the two teams wanted to go their separate ways.

However, the coaches of both sides suddenly met their eyes at this time.

And then...... The two teams that originally wanted to part ways like this.

After that, I went directly to my own training place and started my own training match.

I have to say that both teams are in good shape at the moment.

The competitive form shown in the training matches is not much more than the performance they showed in the playoffs.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that the two teams finally finished their training matches.

By this time, the members of both teams were already a little exhausted.

WE played another training match after the game.

EDG, on the other hand, got off the plane to watch the game and had to play a training match.

It's inevitable that both teams will get tired.

After the training match, the factory director pulled Chen Ye, who was already in a trance, out of the training place.

Blowing the night breeze on the streets of Wuhan, Chen Yecai felt that he was a lot more energetic.

"WE is in good shape, and the qualifiers for the play-in tournament should be stable."

The factory director said, took a deep breath, and his expression was a little clearer.

Chen Ye also nodded slightly, "Well, I feel that Xi Ye's current state is also much better than when he was in the playoffs." ”

"Let's hope they won't be in the same group as us."

The factory director stretched.

"It shouldn't be, the schedule won't be so arranged."

Chen Ye was silent.

"Alright, let's go. It's time to go back, or NOFE will have to run out to find someone again. ”

As he spoke, the factory director's tone was a little sour.

"Now you're a treasure in his eyes, and you can't have any problems."

"If I had an accident, I guess he would still be able to scold me with a bloody head."

Chen Ye was slightly stunned, thinking of Nofe's slightly chubby face, he couldn't help but smile a little more.

"Let's go, EDG's pet."

……

Time flies, and the time for the play-in tournament is almost a blink of an eye.

And the results achieved by WE did not disappoint the LPL audience.

They directly broke out of the play-in round with a very crushing attitude and successfully entered the group stage.

The grouping of the group stage was also completely released after the play-in round.

Group A: EDG, SKT, AHQ, C9.

Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC.

Group C: G2, SSG, RNG, FB.

Group D: FW, MSF, TSM, WE.

Again, EDG and SKT bumped in.

AHQ and C9 in the same group, this is not a particularly stressful opponent for EDG.

After all, these two teams are really not very strong in their own divisions and in MSI.

SKT is different.

As a legendary team in the LOL world, they have also shown absolute strength in all competitions this year.

It is indeed extremely difficult for EDG to get the first place in the group in front of them.

As for the rest of the groupings.

RNG's group doesn't seem to be very stressful.

The strength of the G2 team this year is relatively average.

Even if you qualify for the World Championship, you obviously don't have the strength to go to the knockout round.

The same goes for FB.

In the eyes of most viewers, the only opponent that RNG needs to pay attention to is the SSG from the LCK region in the same group.

As the third seed in the LCK, their strength should not be underestimated.

And looking at it this way, Group D, where WE is located, has become the group with the least pressure to advance.

TSM has been able to reach the World Championship every year, but they have never had the quality to make it to the group stage.

FW is the No. 1 seed in the Bend Division, but in terms of their performance in the continental tournament, they can hardly be said to be better than WE.

In short, WE's promotion pressure should be the smallest among the three LPL teams.

And after the group stage was grouped, it was inevitable that it would cause a wave of discussion on the Internet.

WE's promotion pressure is not too great, so most of the discussion points are not on them.

Most of the audience's discussion fell on the collision of Group A SKT and EDG.

In the eyes of many people, this year's EDG has become SKT's rival.

At MSI, EDG even broke SKT's monopoly in the international arena directly on the front, with the most powerful attitude.

In the intercontinental tournament after that, it shattered the trust of the LCK region in SKT with an extremely powerful attitude.

This kind of head-to-head success has made many EDG fans even a little fluttery.

But Rao is so, most of the audience still thinks.

EDG may not be able to take advantage of SKT in the group stage of this year's World Championship.

After all...... EDG's performance in the World Championship in previous years was really disappointing.

"I feel that this year, the form is still very good, although EDG's performance before the S game was average, but this year it seems to be really good."

"Yes, I think there's a little more to look forward to. I feel that even if this group does not compete for the first place, the problem of qualifying should not be big. ”

"Indeed, play a little steady, and it's OK to make sure you qualify."

"Damn, are you all so conservative? EDG has played so well this year, why do you feel so negative? ”

"Yes, I don't know, I thought SKT won this year's MSI. ”

"I can't help it, I'm happy that EDG won the championship at MSI. But they really never disappoint when it comes to disappointing people. ”

"How to say, look forward less, and when he exceeds our expectations, we can be a little happier."

"Hey, too."

This is probably the direction of the discussion on the Internet.

For many people, they have high expectations for EDG.

But because of EDG's poor performance in the previous World Championships, they didn't dare to show it.

The combination of these factors has turned the discussion on the Internet into this somewhat strange way.

Time is also in the process, quietly passing.

Soon, the time came on October 5th.

Today is also the day when the S7 group stage officially starts.

The first game of the group stage, the opening match, was the RNG match.

As for EDG, it will be in the final match of the group stage today.

Their opponent is AHQ.

RNG and EDG played on the same day, but there was a long time difference between the two games.

After the RNG match is over, EDG won't be able to start their match until seven hours later.

So, by the time EDG got out of bed, the RNG game was already over.

As for the result of the game.

RNG's performance in this opening game was quite good, and it ended its opening game with a crisp victory.

And after learning the news, EDG naturally had a little more smile on their faces.

RNG is their opponent in normal times, yes.

But in the face of this kind of competition, everyone will naturally maintain the same attitude towards the outside world.

After hearing the good news of RNG's victory, the EDG people will naturally be happy.

After eating breakfast and adjusting their state, EDG everyone also got on the bus to the competition venue.

EDG's bus started, and the atmosphere inside the car was a little stagnant.

Brother Saintgun's eyes scanned around, taking in the situation inside the car.

After watching a circle, he had to admit that the most nervous person at this time seemed to be himself.

The expressions on the faces of several other people in the car, including the newcomer Double C, were quite calm, and they only had a little expectation for the game.

But looking at himself, the expression on his face was far from calm.

Although he is already a veteran of the professional scene, he has never been to the Worlds.

In other words, today's match will be his debut at Worlds.

This is different from the MSI and continental competitions, the S competition has an extremely heavy weight in the eyes of every player, and it is also incomparable to other events.

Thinking about it, the tension in the heart of the Holy Spear Brother intensified a little.

And when he was about to take a deep breath to adjust his state, iboy suddenly sat down next to him.

"What's wrong? Nervous? ”

Brother Saint Gun was originally in a very nervous mood, but when he saw iboy's face with some ridicule, he didn't want to admit it.

"Nervous? I? Are you kidding. ”

Brother Saint Gun said, and sneered.

iboy looked at him suspiciously and handed him a bottle of water.

"You're really fake, that expression just now...... Tsk......"

Brother Saint Lance glanced at the water bottle, and finally took it.

"If it's okay, I'll sit back."

Brother Saint Lance pondered for a moment, "Wait. ”

iboy paused, and slowly sat back again.

"Why don't you look nervous?"

After Brother Saint Gun said this, he stared intently at the iboy in front of him.

After hearing this question, iboy barely thought about it, and subconsciously opened his mouth to answer.

"Because Brother Ye is here."

iboy said, looking at the closing in front of him, his expression was full of calm Chen Ye.

"Anyway, even if I make one or two mistakes, I have him behind me, so I have nothing to be nervous about."

Brother Saint Lance was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Chen Ye in front of him.

"You just believe in him like that, huh?"

Brother Saint Spear naturally did not have the slightest doubt about Chen Ye's strength.

But iboy, who didn't have any doubts at all, still surprised him a little by Chen Ye's trust.

"That's for sure, because Brother Ye has been doing this from beginning to end."

Speaking of which, iboy doesn't seem to have any intention of continuing.

This is the end of the conversation between the two.

But Brother Saint Gun inexplicably felt that the previous tension in his heart seemed to have slowly disappeared.

The bus carrying EDG and others also slowly came to the venue of the competition in this process.

As soon as their car stopped, Chen Ye heard cheers from outside the car window.

When I opened the curtains, I saw that the water around the body was already surrounded by fans.

Many people are holding EDG's team flag in their hands and are constantly shaking at EDG's bus.

If it weren't for the fact that there were security guards on site to maintain order.

I'm afraid that the fans at this time have rushed to the front of EDG's bus and surrounded it.

You know, this is Wuhan.

This city has never been a particularly strong place for esports.

But Rao is like this, EDG's bus was still so warmly welcomed after arriving at the venue.

It is conceivable what kind of popularity EDG has in the entire LPL division at this time.

After getting out of the car, the EDG crowd first greeted the audience on the periphery.

Then, they walked directly into the lounge in the venue.

AHQ's team doesn't look strong on paper.

But EDG will not take them lightly because of this.

Otherwise, it is not only disrespectful to the opponent, but also irresponsible to oneself.

Therefore, after entering the lounge, the EDG people directly entered the stage of preparation.

At this time, there is still almost an hour before the official start of the game.

Naturally, they also need to make good use of this time to prepare for the final discussion before the game.

Time passes quietly in this process.

Then, when the EDG discussion gradually subsided.

The referee of this game also entered the EDG lounge to remind them that they needed to play.

After hearing the news, everyone at EDG let go of what they were doing.

Then, they came together and formed a circle.

Then, he held out his hand.

"Come on!"

With the sound of endless blood, it sounded in the EDG lounge.
