Chapter 192: Congratulations EDG! Win the cup of spring duel! Puppy teary-eyed! The first half of the Grand Slam! 【Subscription】
Due to EDG's flawless performance in this year's regular season, they don't need to rush to play the first few games in this spring.
It wasn't until the semifinals of the playoffs that they met their rival IG.
Same as the last game of the regular season, despite reaching BO5, it is not a complete start of the IG five, and it takes a lot of effort to resist EDG's strong attack.
In the end, EDG defeated IG and successfully advanced to this year's Spring Finals.
On the other hand, RNG and the Snake team also split the winners, after the first blow in the spring opener, this year's RNG is catching up, and the new jungler Karsa and the other team members are getting closer and better.
It has become one of the few clans that can pose a certain threat to EDG.
Of course, it's just a little threat.
Because during the winter turn, they bought the champion AD with a lot of money, the genius boy iBoy, and the strength of the state was more exaggerated in S8.
Compared to the original AD puppy, it is visible to the naked eye that there is a problem.
So, with this emotion, Uzi stepped on the most monumental stage of his life, so far.
Beating his old club in two games in a row is just one step away from the first championship trophy of his career.
During the break, the puppy kept playing for himself, and his face turned red, which was not because of mistakes, which was rare.
"Orange, can we win?"
"Orange, I want to win the championship."
"Oranges... We're really going to MSI this year... I've been playing for so many years, it's the first time I've been going..."
“…… It's also my first time. ”
In the face of Brother Zaozi's chattering and nagging, Xu Cheng was quite helpless, but he was actually very excited in his heart-
After all, who doesn't like to keep winning?
Being able to win all the time is really a very comfortable feeling, and even outsiders can't experience it at all...
"Alright, let's go, let's get ready for a cup."
Ming Kai, who has half retreated into the background, looked at this scene with a smile, he himself has already fulfilled his dream, and now he is looking at his old rival, and now his teammate Uzi is about to win the cup and realize his dream.
The mood is still very good.
Of course, what makes him feel even more proud, and even wakes up with a smile every day when he sleeps, is actually the current state and rising momentum of EDG-
They really have the opportunity to challenge SKT, a mountain that has left a shining mark in the history of the league.
In the past six months, he has dreamed of the same picture every time he dreams of that little bun shop.
That young boy.
In his life, the most correct thing he has done may be to pull the former Xu Cheng into EDG and bring him into the e-sports circle...
When the others heard this, they got up, grabbed their peripherals, got ready, and walked to the stage.
Xu Cheng and Uzi walked behind, looking at each other's usual reserved, constantly going up and down, patting each other, and said with a smile: "Hey, you are a veteran." ”
"You don't need to be comforted by my junior, right?"
"Let go of the fight, this is not RNG anymore, there are teammates to cover for you, no matter what kind of play you play, we can win this game."
No matter what kind of fight you play, this game can be won.
Although it is a bit of a braggart, Xu Cheng's words are obviously still very golden.
The main reason is that after two games, the mentality of the old teammate iBoy has been beaten has gone wrong, and the rest of the RNG has also made the same old mistakes.
You can fight 0-to-1, you can play 1-to-2...
But the horse was beaten 0-2, or EDG, which still has no defeat this season...
How do you fight this?
It is estimated that the so-called IG complete body, which emerged some time before the regular season of the spring season, can be just as strong as EDG in terms of positive hard power.
Really.
There is no surprise that in this final match, RNG will be defeated even more violently than in the previous two.
There is still hope in the first two games, and I can struggle for a while, but this last game is purely beaten.
A 3-0 without suspense.
The moment when EDG bulldozes the RNG crystal base.
The entire scene, the entire LPL, and even countless overseas audiences have already cheered-
They witnessed the birth of a dynasty and the appearance of a miracle.
That's right, EDG's winning streak is still going on so far!
That night, the puppy walked on the stage in an almost semi-dreamy state and lifted the LPL league championship trophy that he had been chasing for 5 years.
The director also came up, and the picture of the two holding the cup together became the biggest hot spot tonight.
And in the interview that night, Uzi also bluntly expressed his feelings: "Really, really... It's an honour and a thrill to win this trophy. ”
"This is the first trophy of my career... I would like to give a big thank you to my teammates... They are really strong, thank you, thank you! ”
Bowed, eyes reddened.
Bang la blah.
The audience applauded thunderously.
And Xu Cheng is more calm, although this is also the first LPL championship trophy in his career.
But before that, he had already won the World Championship.
In contrast, he is looking forward to another world championship trophy, the glory and disgrace of MSI...
"This is also the first time I have represented the LPL region to participate in MSI, and I hope to get more honors at this MSI......"
After a pause, he looked at the factory director who had walked to the stage as a behind-the-scenes person, and said with a smile:
"I'm already working on MSI's opponents."
??
"Hahaha...!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Buddha, this is the fourth championship after the end of S7, right? Turtle turtle, EDG's posture won't really be a full slam, right?! ”
"There will be the Asian Games this year... Probably not..."
"Who says we're going to lose at the Asian Games?"
"Eh, is the Asian Games list decided..."
The crowd cheered and there was a discussion about one of the hottest topics in 18 years, the Asian Games.
This is the first time that esports has appeared in the public eye as a sports event.
Whether it is historical significance or status, it is NO1 level.
There are also people who count the honors that Xu Cheng has achieved since the end of S7.
In just half a year, Xu Cheng has won several championships in a row.
Counting S7, his thinnest resume has been plump up-
【2017 World Championship World Champion】
【2017 World Finals Champion FMVP】
【2017 All-Star Game Championship】
【2017 All-Star Single Solo Championship】
【2017 Demacia Cup Championship】
[2018 LPL Spring Championship + FMVP]
Aside from the FMVP of personal honor, the four championships in half a year are definitely worthy of the name.
Such a terrifying and invincible speed of plundering honor, coupled with the fact that EDG is now at the peak of all members, is about to represent the LPL division to compete in MSI...
There is already more than one person in the outside world, and the saying of "Grand Slam of the year" has appeared more than once.
In this regard, Xu Cheng himself has actually been very restrained.
He didn't dare to look at these things, because there was too much blowing on him right now.
It's really not an exaggeration at all, out of the 100 people who watched the game, 99 of them boasted about him.
If you don't watch the game, out of 10,000 people, 10,000 people praise him...
Well... Ahem, the biggest beneficiary of e-sports cloud player fans is that he Xu someone.
Even the official, as well as people from all walks of life in the circle, and other star players who are playing professionally, have reached an extreme level of respect for him.
It's even more exaggerated than after S7 won the championship at the beginning of the year, and at that time everyone still needed time to adapt, but now, it is completely adaptable.
and accepted the fact that Xu Cheng ruled the LPL.
It's okay to see less of these things, but once you see too much, sometimes you take it seriously, and this habit is unavoidable for anyone.
In order to prevent these emotions from appearing, Xu Cheng even took the initiative to hand in his mobile phone, and he hadn't looked at the outside public opinion for a long time.
"Well, if you want me to say, you don't have to be so yourself."
After winning the spring tournament and before the start of the MSI, a rare vacation.
Xu Cheng was asked out by Rita to go shopping together.
During the meal, Rita looked at him with big eyes and a rather distressed look: "Actually, you have already won the world championship, why should you be so "strict" with yourself." ”
Xu Cheng didn't seem to hear the underlying consciousness in her words, took a sip of milk tea, and looked out the window a little distractedly:
"Actually... The more you win, the less you want to lose. ”
"That's... The taste of winning the cup, the achievement of the moment of winning the world championship, satisfying... If you only experience it once, you can't let it go. ”
Turning to Rita, he smiled and said, "If you can win, who wants to lose all the time?" ”
“……”
Rita understood what he said, but deliberately pursed her mouth and snatched the milk tea: "Okay, you will be alone for the rest of your life, continue to learn Faker." ”
"Sister is no longer waiting, goodbye, goodbye!"
"Huh..."
Xu Cheng said a little nervously: "Who said that I studied Lee Sang-hyuk, I didn't." ”
Rita got up and finished settling the bill, and gave him a blank look: "MSI prepare well, I'm going to explain, anyway, no matter how hard you are on yourself, how long you play the game..."
"Anyway, if you fight, I'll explain it."
After speaking, she waved her hand and left the bubble tea shop.
Xu Cheng looked at her back for a long time before retracting his gaze and muttering in his heart.
Who learned from Lee Sang-hyuk...
I didn't learn.
Of course, saying this, in fact, he himself knows that in terms of professional attitude, he is indeed a little inclined to Brother Li's method.
It's about having no distractions and concentrating on doing what you like the most.
There's no doubt that as long as the pros keep up this form, they're really efficient.
But in the same way, it will also break the hearts of many people in some places.
But then again, to the point where Xu Cheng is now, his personal shopping malls have appeared, and he is no longer short of money.
The temptations he usually faces, compared with the former Brother Li, can only be said to be as good as they are.
Because of his personal image, the country he is in, the environment in the circle... It's all different.
So don't look at it as only half a year, but you can stick to it until now... I don't know how many people in the circle admire Xu Cheng.
There is even a rumor in private -
The Buddha really wants to become a Buddha.
After finishing the profession, he stepped on a horse and became a monk!
……
It's different from previous years.
This year's LPL team EDG advanced to this year's MSI, which has caused great heated discussions and sensations around the world.
Because they are EDGs.
From the beginning of the season to the present, with the afterglow of S7 winning the championship, EDG's prestige has long been resounding at home and abroad.
Before the start of the MSI, during the period of rest in each major region, the champions of several other major regions had great worries and apprehensions about EDG's promotion to this MSI.
For example, the European FNC's Ou Cheng said:
"Uzi finally realized his dream, and what helped him realize his dream was the top order that made people tremble just thinking of ID."
"This season's EDG has made my scalp tingle, Murder is still playing well, he really is the best top laner in the world!"
Ah P followed: "In fact, I think the whole world is on alert, EDG is now on a 24-game winning streak!" ”
"This is a terrible thing, the upcoming MSI is a testing ground, in the MSI, can anyone finish them?"
"Hmm... Of course, I think it will, there is no winning general in the world, the one who finishes EDG and kills the Murder dog's head is me G2!! ”
The second division of the cherry blossom country is more direct:
"This season's Murder has conquered us, and our entire team is now Murder fans, so allow us to call Murder the Demon Lord! Unlike the Demon King, the Demon King is more bloodthirsty and likes to slaughter! ”
“……!”
Statements like this abound.
After half a year of s7 winning the championship, the ID of Murder has grown into a towering tree in the eyes of everyone around the world.
A big boss level in the true sense of the word.
And since it is a big boss, there is naturally no shortage of warriors.
At the end of the LPL Spring Tournament, when the quota of the MSI team is determined, the quota of the remaining regions to participate in the MSI has also been determined.
Not to mention the other wild cards and play-in rounds, the four regional teams that will directly enter the group stage are:
LPL:EDG。
LCK: KZ (formerly Team LZ).
EU:FNC。
NA:TL。
The four teams, excluding TL, are all evergreens in the S competition, and they have all been promoted in S7.
In the new season, their strength is still good!
Among the many teams, it is still the LCK's KZ who is given the most high hopes, and KZ has always been ranked first among the candidates to finish EDG.
Now the performance of this new LZ team in the new season of S8 is indeed more mature than that of S7.
He didn't fall because of the loss on S7, and defeated SKT strongly to win this year's LCK Spring Championship.
Several players in the team are still at the top of the rankings and are known as one of the favorites to win the MSI championship this year.
So everyone thinks that if you can stop EDG now, maybe only KZ can give it a try, and others won't have a chance to watch it...
seems to feel the high expectations of the outside world, KZ China's official blog, at twelve o'clock in the evening, also posted a Weibo:
"The establishment and collapse of a legendary dynasty is often only in a thought, the dragon swims in the shallows, and one day, the evil dragon can be slain and become a new legend!"
This remark was enthusiastic, and the team name was not mentioned, but everyone knew that this was talking about EDG.
Nowadays, looking at the world, who is worthy of being called a dragon?
Even SKT, which is lonely in the new season, is no longer qualified, only the S7 champion, EDG, who won 24 consecutive victories and four championships in the first half of this year, can be called an evil dragon!
Everyone wants to be a warrior to defeat the dragon.
The same was true of the original EDG.
Now that time has passed, and now they, unconsciously, have become evil dragons......
A dragon that all teams in the world want to challenge and defeat!
And just like that, time passed.
May 8th.
EDG, the big demon king who is expected/feared by hundreds of millions of people, stepped on the plane to Berlin, Germany with the start of the MSI group stage is imminent.
There, on the other side of the ocean, is the world's biggest stage in the first half of this year!
S8's EDG, who has created a miracle of four crowns and a miracle of 24 consecutive wins, is here with the strongest dominance in the history of the league!
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass
