Happy hours are always short-lived.

It didn't take long for the atmosphere in the EDG team to become grim again, and the players changed their usual relaxed and lazy days, and trained in their seats very seriously.

EDG Training Room.

Abu pushed the door in and said, "The final between us and RNG is about to begin, and it will be the last game in the league.

As long as we win RNG, we will win the Summer Championship and get the No. 1 seed. ”

Everyone present already knew about the schedule, but when it came out of Abu's mouth, the players still felt a little urgency in their hearts.

After all, having come this far, no one wants to miss out on the championship.

"Judging from our experience with RNG many times, our odds are very high." The hard power is strong, but like us, the tactics are concentrated in the bottom half.

So, when playing against RNG, we don't have to think too much about the tactical setup of the opposite side.

As long as you can contain the play of the opposing bottom shooter, it is easy to win the game. ”

After analysis, the coaching staff has been optimistic about the final.

Because, the playing style of the two teams of EDG and RNG is too similar, both of them are centered on the lower lane, to drive the rhythm to win the game.

And in several encounters, EDG has the upper hand in the lower lane...... This kind of suppression of core players has undoubtedly given everyone a shot in the arm.

To put it simply, EDG's current team style is quite restrained RNG.

Even, if you can choose one of the three teams WE, IG and RNG as your opponent at will, EDG will most likely choose RNG as well.

Hearing the analysis of the coaching staff, several EDG members couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the pre-match analysis should not be confused with reality, it is also a reference, at least it can be psychologically comforting.

Mouse laughed, "If that happens, aren't we just going to win?" ”

"Don't be careless." The factory director is still old-fashioned: "RNG strength is still there, we have won for so long, and we must not drop the chain at this last moment." ”

Everyone's hearts sank.

Indeed, as the factory director said, they won for so long, it would be a shame if they fell off the chain in the final and missed out on the championship.

Fishing vessels aside...... Even they themselves can't accept it.

At this point, Zoom said, "But I'm sure we can't afford to lose on the road." ”

When the words fell, the eyes of everyone present moved to the position of Ye Zi and Mei Buckle.

Abu also asked: "Ye Zi, sister buckle, what do you say on the next road?" Confident that you can suppress the RNG down the road? ”

It's not that Abu doesn't trust the bottom lane duo, but between the top players, the boundary between strength and weakness is actually very ambiguous, because there are too many factors that affect strength.

Status, mood, feel...... Whatever the reason, it can affect the player's strength.

The first few times Yez was in good form and kept pressing Uzi, but before the game was not played, it was difficult to determine the state of both sides.

That's why Abu asked this question and wanted to learn about the players from the players themselves.

Hearing this, Yezi and Meikou glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "They don't have a chance." ”

Hearing this answer, Abu and Nofe immediately put their hearts in their stomachs.

Yez and Meikou are not the kind of characters who like to talk big, and now that they say so, there must be no problems in that state.

Thinking of this, Abu quietly improved EDG's chances of winning a bit.

After explaining, Abu didn't bother the team members to train again.

However, before leaving, Abu still advised: "There are only a few days before the final, I hope everyone will not relax......"

Speaking of this, Abu suddenly thought of another thing and said, "Tomorrow is the bubble qualifying tournament between IG and WE, let's take a look at it together." ”

Now the situation in the LPL has basically been determined, EDG and RNG are competing for the championship and who is the No. 1 seed and No. 2 seed, while IG and WE are playing the last bo5 game to compete for the bubble qualification.

Whoever wins BO5 will be able to compete in the bubble race for a third World Championship spot.

So, tomorrow IG and WE will definitely use their strength to play the game.

In general, the teams will follow the game, learn from the strengths of both teams, and delve into the data on team style, common tactics, hero pools, etc.

At that time, when you meet the other party, there will be more data to refer to.

With that, Abu and Nofe left hand in hand.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Ye Zi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Before I knew it, it had been almost a year since I came to EDG.

In the past year, he has changed dramatically.

From his initial attitude towards indifference to his profession to now becoming a mainstay in the team, his mentality has been quietly changing.

At this time, Yez can no longer play without any burden as he did at the beginning.

Because, EDG needs him, and his teammates need him...... Every action he makes, every decision he makes, affects the team.

He was really scared... One day the team will lose the game because of his personal mistakes.

Thinking of that result, Ye Zi only felt that his heart was pressed by a boulder, and it was extremely heavy.

It's okay to lose in the summer, but what about the Worlds? Group stage, quarterfinals, semifinals, finals......

With so many games, can he really guarantee that he won't make a single mistake?

Mindset is often the hardest to maintain.

Even though Yez was a human being, he still inevitably encountered this psychological dilemma.

In other words, this is the process that every professional player must go through.

Walking out of the training room, Yetz went to the window and looked out the window.

"What are you thinking?"

Behind him, the voice of the factory director came.

"No," Yez didn't look back, "I just wanted to come out and have a look." ”

The director came to Yetz's side and looked out the window.

"Yezi, your look has betrayed you."

"Is it so obvious?" The corners of Yez's mouth twitched: "Moreover, you have been spying on me, it can't be that you have a crush on me." ”

"Nima! The old girl friend is a college student, a college student, understand? ”

After speaking, the factory director and Yetz both laughed.

It's no secret that the factory director has a girlfriend in EDG, and even the outside world knows about it, but the factory director's girlfriend has always been relatively low-key like other wives in the group.

After a moment, the factory director's smile gradually disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Yezi, I know you are under a lot of pressure right now. ”

Ye Zi shook his head, and was about to say something, but the factory director didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "As a newcomer, you have done a good enough.

But this is the case with EDG, where being in the C position is destined to be under more pressure.

I'm sorry, but there's only so much I can do for you. ”

Speaking of this, the factory director couldn't help but feel bitter emotions in his heart, no one knew his current state better than him.

Compared with his peak, he is now a second-rate jungler, if it weren't for his rich game experience, the team still needs him to command, and the unwillingness to give up his dream in his heart, he will not even choose to continue to play, but will leave the opportunity to newcomers.

But now EDG...... He can't let go yet.

"Seven sauces..."Ye Zi sighed, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to play well, if I lose the game by then...... Alas. ”

The more you win, the more afraid you are of losing.

However, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and how can a team win forever?

The factory director can fully understand Yetz's mood, because he also had the same emotions as Yetz back then.

"Leaves."

"Huh?" Ye Zi turned his head to look at the factory director, slightly stunned.

I saw that the factory director showed the smile of his old father, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let it go, I, my sister and everyone in EDG will stand behind you."

As long as you try your best to leave no regrets, what does it matter if you lose?

In other words, what's the fun of esports if the outcome is known before something is done? ”

Ye Zi's spirit was shocked, and he only felt a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Yes, there is no eternal victory, only eternal self-improvement, which is an extremely classic phrase in the field of e-sports.

At this moment, he found himself with a deeper understanding of this passage.

There are so many teams and so many players, but there is only one champion, even if it is as strong as Uzi, it has not won a championship for six years, and it is as strong as rookie, and it can only be curled up in IG as the dean.

And he is a newcomer, how lucky is he to have made it to the World Championship in his first year of debut?

It's nice to win the championship, but if you think about it from another angle, isn't the process of chasing the championship a life experience?

Thinking of this, Ye Zi took a deep breath, and his eyes regained a determined look.

Seeing this scene, the factory director quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Yetz is too important to EDG and has become an indispensable member of EDG, if there is a problem with Yetz's mentality now, it will definitely be the most fatal blow to EDG.

"Look at you like this, you have already figured it out."

Ye Zi nodded, and then said, "Qi-chan, I still have a question that I don't understand. ”

"Huh? You said. ”

Ye Zi glanced at the factory director and said, "Since you have seen it so thoroughly, why are you so cowardly in the game?" ”

Arouse?

The director froze.

The next moment, his face darkened.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yez disappeared without a trace, and ran faster than a rabbit.

"This guy ......"

Looking at Yez's back, the factory director couldn't help but smile dumbly, and muttered: "I won't be cowardly this year." ”

……

Next.

Since receiving the guidance of the factory director, Yetz's state has completely reached its peak.

In the training match, EDG showed amazing dominance in the lower lanes.

Even, the news of the invincibility of the EDG training tournament has spread to the outside world, but the RNG club is a different situation.

"What about them?"

In the RNG team, Brother Feng looked at the training room with few people, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

The big war is coming, but the team members still haven't caught up in training?

Glancing at the leader, Brother Feng said in a deep voice: "What's the situation with them?" ”

The team leader stopped talking.

"Say!"

Seeing the team leader's expression, Brother Feng already had a premonition, in addition to being the RNG coach and the RNG management, it was impossible for him to keep an eye on the players all the time.

Originally, I thought that the team members would not do anything too much, but now it seems that ...... The situation was not quite what he thought.

The team leader also knew that it was impossible to hide it, so he simply said: "The team members are not very motivated to train, and they have been playing other games recently......

"What?!"

Hearing this, Brother Feng couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, just when he was about to fight EDG, the team members actually ......

Moreover, he has received rumors that there is almost no one to beat in EDG training matches, especially the bottom lane duo, which can basically burst the line every time.

Comparing other players, and then comparing his own team members, a sense of powerlessness quietly appeared in Brother Feng's heart.

"Call them all."

After a moment, Brother Feng inhaled, and his tone returned to calm.

"Brother Feng......"

"I'll call you over!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Seeing that Brother Feng was in a wrong mood, the team leader didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly called someone to go.

It didn't take long for several RNG team members to come over sleepily, muttering something like "I didn't wake up".

Seeing this, a flash of disappointment flashed in Brother Feng's eyes, and he originally wanted to reprimand him angrily, but in the end, he only turned into a long sigh.

……

Regardless of the form of the two teams, the highlight of the day is not on the two teams, but on the bubble qualifying match between IG and WE.

WE and IG are both ancient giants, and their performance has been tepid in recent years.

It can be said that this S7 is an opportunity for both teams to break through themselves.

Whoever wins this race will qualify for the World Championship.

For this match, both teams are gearing up, and the fans of both teams are extremely nervous, and they both hope that their teams can go to the World Championship.

Not only the spectators, but also the major teams are also watching the match between the two teams, including EDG.

Training room.

The crowd gathered in front of the big screen.

On the screen, it was the match between IG and WE.

Abu: "Yezi, what do you think?" ”

I'll sit and watch......

Yez was speechless, and said in his heart what stupid question you have, but he also knew what Abu meant, so he said: "We all have a chance, but I think WE has a better chance."

The WE players are in too good shape, there are no obvious shortcomings, and the gap between the IG lower lane and the WE lower lane is too large, and it is easy to be torn apart by WE.

But it's hard to say, IG's style is more aggressive, and if they succeed recklessly, WE is likely to be stunned. ”

Abu nodded, Yez's analysis was more pertinent, and the coaching staff also felt that WE had a better chance of winning the game.

While chatting, the game has already started on the screen.

In the first game, Rookie took out the black technology Yasuo, combined with the barrel, the big bug, and the bull's head to shoot multiple flights, played a surprise effect, and finally successfully won the first game.

In the second game, Ning Wang took out the black technology Kaiyin, but unfortunately, WE took out a double-shooter lineup and dragged it to the late stage to successfully win the game through a team battle.

The two sides are tied 1-1.

"Both teams have a lot of stuff to offer." Abu: "In terms of strength, WE's comprehensive strength is stronger than IG. ”

Yez: "WE team battle ability is too strong, and now IG has taken out two axes, if there are no other hole cards, it feels more and more difficult to play." ”

In the third game, IG gave the WE Xialuo combination, and at the same time, Nakano chose a lineup with a full rhythm in the early stage, but not surprisingly, the lower road was completely suppressed and became a breakthrough.

WE and IG score: 2:1.

In the fourth game, IG took out Mouse + Luo in the lower lane, Rookie took out the signature Sindra, and WE chose the four guarantees and one team battle lineup of Kalmar in the middle lane.

But in this game, Rookie's Sindra played bravely and completed the counterpoint kill against the night, and did not give WE a chance to survive to the late stage.

2:2, the two sides came to the tiebreaker.

The battle song sounded.

At the beginning of the fifth game, the players of the two teams were also surprisingly nervous, as can be seen from the players' avatars, the players looked serious and communicated frantically within the team.

In this game, WE put Xialuo in the lower lane of IG, and once again selected the two-shooter system, while IG got Xialuo in the lower lane, and Uenakano took a set of Kenan, Olaf + Sindra's strong upper midfield.

It can be said that the selection of people on both sides is completely in line with the style of both teams, and it is also the lineup they are best at.

In the early stage, IG suppressed WE for a while, but when the plane and small cannon were formed, IG was defeated in a wave of team battles and ended the game by WE in a wave.

"Congratulations to WE for winning the tournament and getting your ticket to the bubble race."

"Congratulations WE!"

On stage, the commentator's passionate voice sounded, and when the camera showed Rookie, everyone fell silent.

I saw that Rookie in the camera was lying on the table, crying silently.

This scene, even the commentary is extremely sad: "It's a pity that IG lost WE in this bo5 and stopped here."

But everyone has seen the performance of several IG players, and I hope IG will continue to work hard next year, the audience and friends at the scene, please give applause to a few young men on IG, okay? ”

Bang Bang Bang!

In the audience, the scene resounded with long-lasting applause.

At this time, the EDG team.

Abu's eyes swept over every player present, and said slowly: "It's up to you in the finals, come on!" ”
