"What's wrong?"

Xu Cheng next to him was surprised to see the factory director so "out of shape".

"Uh... That one... It's okay. ”

The factory director first slowed down, and then felt a little helpless and warm: "My grandmother... I don't know where I heard that I might be eliminated today, so I have to come and see... I've told them all, don't tell the old man these things..."

"Has it already arrived?"

Hearing this, Abu said with a smile: "The old people are here, I'll say hello to the official, don't go out of the venue, go over to pick it up." ”

“…… My aunt brought her here, okay. ”

The factory director nodded, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's normal."

Abu smiled comfortingly.

That's it in previous years.

This year's S competition will be held in China, and almost all the family members of professional players will watch the game in person.

Two days ago, the director's sister and parents came.

I didn't expect an old man in his eighties to come over now...

Really proud of Wuhan?

"I'll go with you."

Xu Cheng saw that the factory director had been in a state of mind, and obviously couldn't let go of the game-

Now this game, although it seems to have nothing to do with them, it is really about their "life and death".

"Okay, you two don't go out, let Xiao Tie bring the old man in..."

After that, the factory director and Xu Cheng, as well as Xiao Tie, the leader of EDG, walked out of the competition room and picked up the old man at the gate of the venue.

Xu Cheng was also very familiar with this kind old woman, said hello, and walked towards the backstage of the game together.

Originally, Ming Kai was still in a good mood along the way, after all, he had just won the game, and the elders came over again.

But when he passed by the distribution point of the reinforcements of the major teams in the field, the expression of the factory director gradually changed a little, until finally, he fell silent.

At first, Xu Cheng didn't understand, but under the signal of Xiao Tie's eyes, he found out.

It turned out that not far away was the place where the major teams distributed supplies.

At this moment, there was a halftime break, the crowd going to the toilet, and the fans and viewers who were discussing Xu Cheng's operation in the last game.

They're in VIP access, so you can't see them here.

But they may see what's going on out there—

"What are they doing?"

"It's the official distribution of free support today, and there are also some of our fans who distribute at their own expense..."

Xiao Tie pointed to the location of EDG, this kind of thing is usually only available outside the market, but this year is special, especially today, everyone has incensed EDG in advance before the start, and the official is also rare and generous.

Xu Cheng looked over.

Not far away, there are a few very familiar young ladies, who should be fans who have often watched Xu Cheng's games recently, and they are gathering together, and there are passers-by around them, and they will send small cheers printed with EDG and Xu Cheng.

Things like banners, glow sticks, fans...

There is also a cartoon character image of Xu Cheng on it, which is very cute to watch.

The effect is good, basically people who don't pass by, when they hear that there are Xu Cheng's supporters here, they will also deliberately run over and lick their faces to ask for one.

But...

The rest of the EDG, as well as the overall team, were not well distributed.

There are reasons why the EDG competition has just ended, and there are also reasons why today is the third day of the second round of the group stage, the most crucial day.

All the top giants in the world's major regions have schedules, and they are also the most critical battles of life and death.

So there are a lot of fans who come to the scene, and most of the audience will take a copy of all the LPL teams' support, the old ones, the ones that they want to change, and the new ones can also be exchanged.

But after all, the S race is different from the continental race, and since there is also a game in RNG today, many people directly choose RNG's fan support.

Compared to the contrast on the EDG side, the number of people on the RNG side is significantly larger.

Originally, everyone was familiar with this situation, and they have long been used to it.

After RNG kept three stars clean, they became the only top fault in LPL.

But maybe it's because of the hope of the playoffs that are still uncertain, I don't know if I can succeed in qualifying...

After the factory director witnessed it with his own eyes, he was still inexplicably emotional and silent in his heart.

EDG, is it really a thing of the past?

Is it the quarterfinals that have never been able to break through, or the results of the World Championship that have been defeated repeatedly?

Disheartened by the audience?

Maybe both...

Not long since... EDG is the first and best choice in the minds of LPL audiences.

But not anymore, the audience's natural reaction simply and rudely told everyone the most cruel reality-

RNG is the NO1 in everyone's minds today, and when there is no all-Chinese schedule, everyone will shout for EDG, and on today's most critical day, RNG may be the protagonist.

Xu Cheng also saw a big fan of EDG constantly shouting EDG to come on, hoping to attract the attention of the crowd who hurriedly went to the toilet.

After being silent for a while, he nodded with a smile: "This big powder is doing well." ”

The rest of the people did not speak again.

The originally pleasant atmosphere has inexplicably become a little depressing at the moment.

Can they blame the audience for this scene now? Or do you blame yourself?

In fact... The root of everything is nothing more than EDG disappointing everyone too many times and being given up, which seems to be reasonable.

A team that is precarious, and now in the final stage of the group stage, it is difficult to guarantee that they will advance to the quarterfinals, is it worth everyone's support?

Esports, results speak.

"We used to have a lot of fans, but since my kick... I kicked them all out. ”

Ming Kai said with emotion, shook his head, and walked to the lounge with a lonely back.

There is no point in saying more now, everything is spoken by practical actions, and time may tell.

Back in the lounge, the game has begun.

"SKT can't play a single hand, does it?"

"Should... No way? ”

As the game progresses, fans, spectators, and even teams in various major regions around the world are paying attention to this game, which may be no less than a "life-and-death battle" for EDG.

In the backstage, the RNG people who had been prepared and were waiting to play came to the EDG lounge to gather together and chat while watching the game.

"I can't tell, aren't all sticks like this? Look at Lingqiang, play your hand directly, and let you be eliminated? ”

After the incense pot Moffett's brain said this, he glanced at Scout and his brother-in-law in hindsight...

"Hmm... I don't think so. ”

At this time, the factory director, who had come to his senses, shook his head and said: "Anyway, no matter how dark it is, SKT also has its own pride." ”

The subconscious meaning of this sentence is actually that a team like SKT, which has won three S championships, will really use their EDG as an opponent?

Is it worth being laughed at all over the world?

As it turned out, the director of the plant was right.

S7's SKT has absolute self-confidence and pride, and their pride simply does not allow them to do such outrageous things.

As a result, SKT played against C9, and there was no suspense, and although C9 was very tenacious, it was defeated in the end.

The score came to 3/3.

At this point, the qualifying pattern of Group A has been preliminarily decided——

SKT has advanced to the first place in the group, and the last place is contested by EDG and C9 in the playoffs.

"EDG is going to play an extra game!"

"Extra, extra, brothers!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Get ready to play! Wait for the phrase 'EDG, welcome to Guangzhou!' ’！ ”

"Awesome! SKT！ I love you! ”

"Comfortable!"

As soon as the results of the game were decided, all the LPL viewers who followed the game cheered.

After the RNG crowd left their blessings, they went to play.

By the time this game is over, the EDG crowd has also packed up and is ready to take the stage to complete the last leg of this year's group stage and the most critical qualifying battle.

"From the beginning of hell, to the present, to win a glimmer of life, I finally came to the last step."

Before leaving, Abu said a little emotionally: "So I don't think you should have any regrets... I hope you don't get nervous today and just play at your normal level. ”

"We have crossed the most difficult mountain, and now we are just a foot away, outside... So many people watched it, and together they gave their S7 the last group game... Let's get some oil! ”

"Win or lose, we have done our best to live and die, and wealth is in the sky!"

"EDG, come on!"

Everyone shouted in unison, grabbed the peripherals, and stepped onto the stage with the spotlights flashing in front of them.

When he walked into the venue, Xu Cheng found that the factory director had been unconsciously looking back at the audience, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at?" Looking for the elderly? ”

"Uh... No, no, no,"

The factory director was a little embarrassed and nervous: "Originally, I wanted her to watch us play the Bird's Nest finals... She didn't know who she was listening to, so she had to come over..."

"Hahaha... Bird's Nest finals, you laughed at me, you really dare to think about it..."I was very moved, but Meiko next to me stopped in Bengbu.

The factory director's face darkened, but everyone could feel that he was nervous.

This is also understandable.

Xu Cheng patted the director on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, we not only have to go to the Bird's Nest, but also win the championship!" ”

"When the time comes, let your whole family see you holding the cup......"

The factory director shook his head: "NONO, what I want to hear most today is... EDG, welcome to Guangzhou! ”

"Then what I want to do most today is..."Xu Cheng looked at the center of the stage where the lights flickered and the lights were dazzling.

It seems to be responding to someone's previous words: "Call our fans, all back!" ”

……

"Welcome back, this is the scene of the group stage of the 2017 World Finals, Wuhan, China!"

"Hello everyone, I'm a doll."

"I'm Miller."

"Hi, I'm Rita......!"

In the LPL commentary seat, the three LPL commentators who had taken over the second half appeared in formal clothes and appeared in front of the camera with a smile on their faces.

There were enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

"First of all, congratulations to RNG, the first place in the group has been determined, then next, it is still the most important game for our LPL region - EDG, against C9!"

"The first-class battle that has been watched by billions of people! It is also the most critical highlight for everyone today! Miller commented.

"That's right, EDG has awakened in the second round of the group stage and won three cities in a row! Now the points have reached 3/3 and have qualified for the play-offs. ”

"Yes, and before, our record against C9 was one win and one loss, but EDG in the second round and the first round are completely two teams!"

"Today, we are in hot shape, and it is really possible for us to complete this miracle of theoretical qualifying that has never been seen in the history of the S game!"

Miller nodded and said, "After all... I'm on the Buddha. ”

"Ahhh

"Buddha!!"

"You give me a meal for the immortals!!"

“？ The black powder rolls out of the gram, and my Buddha doesn't eat! ”

“Murder！ Come on!! ”

There were many shouts from the audience in response to Miller's words on stage.

"Yes... Murder, Buddha, fairy-like man, this young general... Maybe it can't be called a teenager anymore. ”

The doll smiled: "Although Murder has only played three S matches so far, these three S matches... The performance is really bright. ”

"Ze Yuan has a good saying, fight EDG, Murder didn't die once, why do you say EDG lost?"

"Buddha... This player was really the biggest surprise of the year, and his carrying ability is undeniable. It can only be said that whether EDG can be promoted today or not, a large part of the burden will be on the Buddha's body. ”

Several people were talking, and the headset was also notified by the director in front of them.

"So... The battle of life and death is also today, this year's decisive battle of our No. 1 seed in the LPL division, the leading big brother, is about to begin, and the players in front are ready, let's enter today's BP together! ”

The words fell, and the director switched.

Come to the BP interface.

In this game, EDG is on the blue side and C9 is on the red side.

As the opponent in the first round of the group stage, EDG lost to C9, so they didn't dare to underestimate this team at all.

BP is more serious about it.

Directly pressed off the policewoman, Nar, and Lulu.

C9 is also clearly seeing EDG as a life-and-death enemy.

Again, in Group A, AHQ has been confirmed to be eliminated, and SKT has confirmed the first place in the group.

C9 and EDG will be fighting for a second place in the group.

This will be the grand finale for both teams this year!

Don't dare to be careless, and directly ban several of Xu Cheng's signature heroes who have become famous in the past few days.

Green Steel Shadow, Ruiwen, Spear of Vengeance.

Except for the version of the red Fang Biban's skateboard shoes, the other two hands were all given to Xu Cheng!

And C9's move immediately caused the audience to be surprised and uproar.

"Ruiwen and Qinggang Shadow... Oh~! The two top orders, Murder's two best Carry heroes, were both pressed by C9! ”

"I feel that if it weren't for the version of the red side, there would be one less ban bit, and C9 might even give the third ban bit to the Buddha in this wave!"

The doll and Miller glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Three bans on the order?!" ”

"Wow......!"

"Respect, this is definitely respect!" The doll didn't even feel autistic at the moment, but felt very happy: "LPL's top order!" In the S competition, when was it so targeted? Brother, I read the game right, right?! ”

"This ban... It's really respectful, it's exactly the same as a few days before the group stage. Miller nodded, a little emotional.

As the doll said.

LPL's top order has always been recognized as a weak chicken all over the world, and it is a bastard and iron waste to put it mildly.

This road has always been a breakthrough in other divisions!

When will it be the turn of the three bans in the outer division?

And this is still a reverse version, didn't you see that Ruiwen, a sewer hero, can be locked up in a seaview room?

It's just that...

After the pleasure, several people looked at each other...

Suddenly, I found that EDG was not easy to choose.

Xu Cheng's signature Ruiwen and the immortal guiding green steel shadow were all pressed away.

What else can he fight?

In this version...

"I don't think there's a hero I'm good at... Or a big tree, Sain? The doll said tentatively.

After saying that, he himself felt a little wrong.

Murder is the kind of player... Get him bastard hero?

Or is it a game of life and death?

Didn't you hang yourself and look for death, and took the initiative to ban Murder?

"I don't think so..."

Miller shook his head and said, "There's no way EDG can let Murder take the bastard... Uh,It's a functional top order.,It's all this kind of game.,Life and death are related.,The first few games proved that when you get the Carry hero for the Buddha, he can really reverse the version C game! ”

"I really can! This is when you have to believe in Murder! ”

"But... Are there any other heroes out there that Murder is good at? ”

The topic came back.

In fact, this is also because Xu Cheng really doesn't play many games, so many people don't know what he's good at at all.

Even many people think that Xu Cheng should be Rui Wen and Qinggangying's unique brother.

Other heroes, will he play?

"You... What do you think of Kenhime? ”

Rita said suddenly.

Kenhime?

Everyone was stunned.

"That's right!" Miller reacted suddenly, slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "Sword Ji! Murder, Buddha, Buddha is also very good at sword queens! ”

"How did you forget this hero!" The doll was also excited.

Xu Cheng didn't play Sword Ji many times, but several times, he left an extremely deep impression on everyone.

It's just that in this year's S competition, Xu Cheng hasn't played this hero yet...

At this moment, EDG, which was on the blue side, had already snatched its own hero-

"Sharp swords, sharp eyes!"

White-clothed with a thin sword, long hair flying.

In the close-up, Xu Cheng smiled and exchanged a few words with his teammates.

"Kenhime!! It's really a sword girl! Directly locked in seconds! ”

"Immortals become sword immortals, they are all immortals anyway!!"

"Wow......!"

A frantic scream rang out inside the Wuhan Sports Center.

Xu Cheng S Sai took out the sword for the first time.

"I'm looking forward to the sword girl in the LPL division! This hand can really be taken! Life and death, believe in Murder!! ”

Miller was emotional.

In this kind of game, the BP stage is already lively, and it is difficult to do it yourself.

That's the best part of the Worlds!

Every minute and every second is a classic, and someone is crazy about it!

"I'll always believe in Murder!"

"So... Teacher Cheng has been locked on the road, and Jian Ji... Another classic Upper Lane Carry hero, I don't know how Murder can play to its greatest strength. ”

In the LMS division, the barbecued pork is very interested:

"It doesn't take much! As long as the Qinggang Shadow in the last game, or the eighty percent strength of Ruiwen before, I think EDG has a good chance today! ”

"It's... Let's take a look, what C9 is going to take here..."

Xu Cheng locked the sword Ji unexpectedly, but C9 didn't know about this.

They don't care about each other's sword girls, as long as they don't let Ruiwen and Qinggang Shadow go.

I had done countless BPs before the game, and it was going on in an orderly manner at the moment.

Soon, the lineups of both sides were decided.

The match screen also started loading.

The scene resounded with the most terrifying shouts and cheers since the start of today's competition!

"The hellish start of the first round of the group stage, the rebirth of nirvana in the second round of the group stage, and the bitter fruit that I planted has been eaten by myself. EDG has finally come to the last step now. ”

"Can we break through the encirclement, refresh history, and become the first team in the history of the S competition to theoretically qualify for the group stage... Let's cheer for EDG together! ”

The doll said loudly: "I believe that no matter what the result of this game is, EDG will have no regrets, but... Climbed over the highest mountain, walked to the end of the road, and was on the verge of kicking the door, only this last step was missing, EDG, come on!! ”

"EDG Duck!"

"Guangzhou is waiting for you!!"

"Let's look forward to that sentence together - EDG welcomes to Guangzhou!"

Wow!

The words fell.

The final match of the group stage.

It's officially started!
