“nice！！！ Hit beautifully!! ”

As soon as the EDG people pushed open the door of the lounge, the excited voice of NOFE had already reached their ears.

After the sound of NOFE sounded, echoes quickly sounded in the lounge.

Obviously, it is not only the EDG players who are excited to qualify for the first place in the group stage.

These staff members who have accompanied EDG all the way to the present and have given all their efforts are also proud of this matter.

This can also be seen from the sincere smiles on their faces at this moment.

Therefore, after experiencing the first time of bewilderment, the EDG people quickly cheered with them.

However, this cheer did not last much after all.

For EDG, this is just the beginning of their World Championship, and it is only the first honor they can get.

This time, the World Championship is going on, even if many people don't say it. But everyone knows that their team's goal for this World Championship is definitely not just to win the group stage.

They are going to make it to the quarterfinals and make a breakthrough that they have never achieved before.

Under this premise, the achievement of winning the group stage is gratifying, but it is not to the extent that they can be excited all the time.

Therefore, after the first jubilant celebration, EDG everyone quickly got on the bus back to the hotel.

However, the end of EDG's group stage is over, but at this time they are not ready for the knockout round.

After all, the group stage at this time is not completely over.

The teams that have qualified from each group have not yet been decided, and EDG's opponents in the knockout rounds have not yet been decided.

In this case, even if EDG wants to prepare for its own competition in the knockout round, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, NOFE simply gave the EDG people a half-day off to let them relax a little.

Of course, it is said that it is a holiday, but NOFE can't really let EDG players move freely.

Whether it's a regular dinner party or a stroll after this, there are EDG staff, including Nofe himself, who accompanies him.

It is absolutely impossible for the EDG players to make any mistakes at such a critical time.

After all, at this time, the five members of EDG, once any one of them has the slightest accident, it will be an extremely heavy blow to EDG.

At nine o'clock in the evening, EDG everyone finished their dinner and walked from the restaurant to the night streets of Wuhan.

The cool night breeze blew on his face, blowing the broken hair in front of Chen Ye's forehead.

A trace of coolness blew by, and it also made Chen Ye's heart regain a little clarity.

I have to say that the competition for several days in a row, as well as the high-intensity preparation and analysis, are still quite tiring.

At least at this time, Chen Ye felt a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Being blown by the cold wind made him feel a lot more comfortable.

"Yebao, I know there is a particularly delicious supper restaurant, do you want to check in later?"

When Chen Ye's thoughts were diverging to the clouds, the voice of the Holy Spear suddenly sounded beside him.

Coming back to his senses, Chen Ye thought about Brother Saint Spear's question.

"Hmm...... Yes, but I'm not too hungry yet, so I'll talk about it later. ”

Brother Saint Gun smiled and turned his head to look at Iboy.

"I said it, Yebao is willing to go, so are you going now?"

iboy first glanced at Chen Ye, then at Brother Saint Spear, and nodded a little reluctantly.

"That's okay, don't eat for nothing, don't eat for nothing, anyway, you're in for a treat."

"Hey, when did I say I was going to have a treat......"

The two topics were entangled together, and Chen Ye took this opportunity to walk to the side of the factory director.

At this time, the factory director's expression also looked a little absent-minded.

"What are you thinking?"

After Chen Ye spoke, the factory director seemed to come back to his senses.

After seeing that it was Chen Ye, the factory director showed a little smile.

"I didn't think about anything, I just ...... It feels a little unreal. ”

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and continued to look at the factory director, waiting for his next words.

The director glanced at him and chuckled.

"Nothing special."

"That's it...... For himself and EDG, it is a matter of being able to double kill SKT in the group stage. I'm still a little ...... I can't believe it. ”

As he spoke, the factory director's face was a little reminiscing.

"You know, our results in the world races in previous years...... It's true. ”

The factory director sighed slightly, "So after I really beat SKT in the World Championship today, I feel like I am in a different world." ”

The factory director's expression was very complicated, at least at this moment, Chen Ye couldn't see all the emotions in his heart.

Chen Ye didn't say anything more, but turned his gaze to the bright night of Wuhan.

"Then you maybe, it's too early to sigh."

The factory director was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at Chen Ye, but only saw a side face full of determination.

"After that, we're going to do a lot of things that make you feel like you're out of this world."

"For example...... Break through the quarterfinals, come to the semifinals, and ...... again Make it to the finals. ”

The factory director didn't know if it was affected by the neon lights on the street, in short, Chen Ye's eyes became brighter and brighter in the process of his continuous words.

When he said the two words of the finals, Chen Ye's voice paused slightly.

Then, he took a slow, deep breath.

I don't know why, the factory director was a little nervous, and unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"In the end, we're going to get that ...... All of us dream of it...... Champion! ”

The moment the factory director heard the word champion, his body trembled almost uncontrollably, and a feeling of blood boiling suddenly filled his body.

Chen Ye's words shouldn't have made him so excited.

After all, he and his teammates, as well as his fans, don't know how many times in previous years they have said these words.

But only this time, the factory director really felt a sense of reality from Chen Ye's words.

It's as if these words spoken by Chen Ye are real and achievable!

And after Chen Ye said this, his eyes were already firmly fixed on the factory director beside him.

Under his gaze, the factory director's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Then, the factory director nodded slightly.

"Okay, I'll wait for that day to come!"

Chen Ye laughed, didn't say anything more, and followed in the footsteps of the others in EDG.

The conversation between the two just now has already made them a little behind the team.

After that, EDG people were wandering around the streets of Wuhan, chatting about some things and enjoying this rare time of relaxation.

And in the process, there are also some people who recognize a team of people from EDG.

I have to say that the city of Wuhan is still very vibrant, and when there are university towns everywhere, there are many young people who are exaggerated.

Among them, young people who like e-sports are naturally an extremely large group.

Almost every time EDG people walked, they would be recognized by some young people, and then they rushed to come up and take a group photo.

Among the EDG team members, Chen Ye and the factory director have also become the most popular two.

The valley is just different.

Most of the people who took photos with the factory director were boys.

Most of the people who rushed to take photos with Chen Ye were girls.

After seeing Chen Ye, their first reaction was basically that their eyes lit up, and then they came over a little shyly to ask for a group photo.

Some of the bold ones simply asked Chen Ye for WeChat directly, and some of them directly held hands when they came up, which made Chen Ye a little unbearable.

Of course, in the end, Chen Ye didn't add any of the girls' WeChat, and those holding hands were pushed away by him one by one.

Chen Ye has enough consciousness in his heart, and when he is already with Su Qiaoqiao, he will reject all possible ambiguity.

However, at this scene, Brother Saint Spear and iboy on the side felt a little sour in their hearts.

The two of them have not been in EDG for a long time, and they are not as amazing as Chen Ye in terms of appearance or performance on the field.

Therefore, their fans, of course, are not as good as Chen Ye and the factory director.

There are about ten groups of people who want to take a group photo, and there will be one or two who want to take a photo with them.

Moreover, in most cases, I came to take a photo with Chen Ye and the factory director after taking a group photo with them.

This kind of gap makes both iboy and Brother Shenggun want to scold their mothers.

No, you're handsome, aren't you?

After that, the group continued to wander the streets of Wuhan.

At one o'clock in the morning, everyone arrived at the night snack stall that Brother Saint Gun had mentioned.

I have to say that the supper stall that Brother Saint Gun found tastes quite good, at least Chen Ye is very happy to eat.

But in the end, the staff of EDG didn't really let Brother Saint Gun pay.

It's the Worlds after all, and EDG hasn't been stingy to that point.

And after the supper was over, the EDG people walked back to their collapsed hotel, and they should have eaten.

……

"Ah...... I can't stand it anymore, and I feel like my foot is going to break. ”

After returning to his hotel room with Chen Ye, iboy threw himself directly on his bed, and a muffled voice came from the sheets.

Chen Ye chuckled, "Let's go wash your face and soak your feet first, and you can sleep more comfortably." ”

With that, Chen Ye sat on his bed and turned on his mobile phone.

What he will have to see now is the final result of the other group stages after the match between EDG and SKT.

After the group stage, the teams that qualified from each group have been freshly released.

The order of the battle has also been officially announced after the draw ceremony.

EDG, who were in Group A, drew MSF in the draw after qualifying as the No. 1 seed in the group stage.

SKT, on the other hand, is against WE.

In short, the four matchups of the knockout round, in chronological order, are like this.

October 19th, 4 p.m.

lz vs ssg。

October 20th, 4 p.m.

edg vs msf。

October 21, 4 p.m.

rng vs fnc。

October 22, 4 p.m.

skt vs we。

I have to say that the matchup group of this knockout round is almost the best ending for the LPL division.

The three teams of the LPL have all successfully qualified from the group stage.

And in the knockout round of the quarterfinals, they successfully avoided it with the other two teams, avoiding the embarrassing situation of the regional battle.

Relatively speaking, LCK next door, which also has three teams entering the knockout round, is not so lucky.

Their own No. 1 seed and No. 3 seed met directly in the quarterfinals.

As for this game, the general opinion of the outside world is also more optimistic about LZ.

After all, the LZ team defeated SKT in the summer final and entered the World Championship as the No. 1 seed in LCK.

However, most of the EDG team did not think so conclusively that LZ would win SSG.

To put it bluntly, none of the teams that can enter the World Championship from the highly competitive LCK region will be a simple role in itself.

The fact that SSG has been able to get this far is also a testament to their strength.

In the history of the S game, the weak defeated the strong, and there are also many teams.

Moreover...... In terms of the analysis within the EDG team.

The difference in strength between the two teams, LZ and SSG, is not as big as it seems on the surface.

No matter which team wins in the end and comes to the semi-finals to become EDG's opponent, it will be a big test for EDG.

Yes, LZ and SSG, as well as EDG and MSF.

These four teams belong to the top half of the knockout round.

The eventual winner of the two knockout matches will also be the opponent of the semi-finals.

Therefore, the current EDG is also starting to study the two teams of SSG and LZ.

Of course, even if EDG needed to study these two teams, they wouldn't be able to put the cart before the horse.

For MSF, they also did not let their guard down.

After the half-day holiday, the EDG people quickly entered a state of preparation.

In this case, Chen Ye can almost only have the opportunity to chat with Su Qiaoqiao and make a phone call in the early hours of every day.

When others contacted him, he could barely find anyone.

October 18th, the night before the official start of the knockout round.

At three o'clock in the morning, Chen Ye received a call from Rookie.

"Yo, the phone finally works."

Listening to Rookie's somewhat joking voice on the phone, the corners of Chen Ye's mouth unconsciously showed a little smile.

"No, I'm really tired these past few days."

The personal relationship between the two is good, and the atmosphere of chatting is relatively relaxed.

"How does it feel? If it's the first time you play the knockout round of the World Championship, will you feel very nervous? ”

Chen Ye smiled, "It's okay, I feel that the World Championship is not as exaggerated as you said, play normally and play normally." ”

When Rookie heard this, she burst out laughing on the phone.

"If you say this, it is estimated that many people will have to die of shame."

Chen Ye also laughed twice, "You don't have anything to stay up late, why don't you sleep so late?" ”

When Rookie heard this, he restrained his smile and became a little more serious.

"You should already know that, but I think I should warn you."

"MSF is a team, don't look at it as a European team, but their actual style of play ...... I'll be honest, not quite like a European team. ”
