Since the beginning of the team in 2014, the EDG team has been at the peak of its debut.

In the first year's summer tournament, he won the LPL summer championship, and then went to S4 as the No. 1 seed, but unfortunately that year people only remembered the dark forces 3-0 NJ White Shield, remembered UZI's second runner-up, and remembered the mantra that the stars will never scatter to win the championship.

For EDG, what people remember is the world No. 1 AD before the game, and the career ruined by a bowl of beef noodles after the game.

As for the Praying Mantis, who worked hard to help the team drag to the tiebreaker, it was selectively forgotten by people, and it was EDG's first quarterfinals.

Then in 2015, EDG ushered in the Korean Double C, swept all the teams in the spring game, stepped on the Galaxy Battleship OMG, and punched the defending champion SKT, which was once thought to be the first champion of the LPL that year.

And then......

It's another familiar game, and he beats himself to the bottom.

The World Championship played a 4-0 score against FNC Shame, which completely nailed EDG to the shame column, so that compared to the BO5 of S6, which was not strong enough to be pressed to death by ROX in the quarterfinals, people just remembered 4396 or horse stepping arrows.

No one could have imagined that the story of the bumpy road would not end until S7.

The team members hooked their shoulders and walked back to the passage, and at the top of the screen was Ming Kai's pig girl who participated in the group at a 100% rate.

He finally won the MVP again!

……

Double C was invited to an interview by the English commentary desk, the sister was on the LCK's side, and Jiang Zhun and Ming Kai were facing the host Yu Shuang in a cheongsam.

"Director, I think the first question has been shouted for me a lot by the audience today, but now let's ask it once again."

"What kind of mood is it to break through the quarterfinals?"

"I'm very excited, since I played professionally, counting S2's time in WE, it has been a total of four times before and after falling on the way to the quarterfinals, originally I was ready to retire this season, thinking that I will never have the opportunity to stand here like this, thank you, thank you to my teammates for giving me the courage to persist for another year."

"Special thanks to Xiao Jiang, if it weren't for the perseverance I saw in him again for his career path, I might really be stuck in the quarterfinals and unable to get out of the whirlpool."

When the words came to his throat, there was a slight trill, and the sadness of being scolded for many years as a dream-type jungler was not enough for outsiders.

The same question, Jiang Zhun raised the microphone.

"I'm very happy."

"The most glorious day of a person's life is not the day of success, but the day when the challenge of life arises from lament and despair, and the day when we move towards the will with courage, from the bench to today's world stage, the time of Ming Kaina stopped turning in 2012, and we EDG came out of the quarterfinals that stayed for three years, and we have overcome each other."

"Nexus, now everyone says that you and Ming Kai are the strongest Ueno in the history of the LPL, so what do you think of this statement and the jungler?"

"That's for sure for my family jungler, at least in my mind."

"Man cannot defeat time, but man's deeds can stand above time and remain in our hearts. Continue to move forward, the senior brother insisted on breaking through his top eight for many years, and the factory director will always be the wild king in my heart, I must say thank you, without the full protection of the jungler, I can't find my own direction in the upper unit. ”

The applause in the audience changed from sparse to continuous, and everyone sent a respect to the old man in Jiang Zhun's mouth.

"Nexus, the next semi-finals will be a showdown between two LPL teams and two LCKs, and there are many people on the Internet who think that EDG and IG will stop there, just like S6 both stopped at the quarterfinals, do you want to say anything about this?"

Ming Kai raised the microphone again, and his whole body was completely stretched.

"To this day, the LCK's domination of League of Legends continues, and even in the distant future they are still in this project ahead of other divisions, but—"

Kang Joon: "This is by no means a reason for us to admit defeat at the moment, before the crystal explodes, I think we will definitely win." ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at the jungler, and the young man gave the captain a determined look.

……

[Sniff, give it to the master fiercely, LPL No. 1 Ueno doesn't explain! ] 】

[Tsk, Brother Prospective is so cool, the firm eyes make my legs weak. 】

[Don't think about online dating upstairs, Brother Zhun said that he wouldn't fall in love for two years, and if you want to talk about online dating, you can find the factory director, he has rich experience! ] 】

[Little Baby: Don't hint at it, just go through the program. 】

……

Edgar turned off the projector, turned around and glanced at the five team members, and finally stopped on the withered body of the top single. "Holy Truth, will the finalist be able to withstand the pressure of the Nexus?"

In the training room, Coach Edgar said something that surprised outsiders.

Before the semi-finals were played, the SSG coach actually concluded that the final would be a civil war between the first and second teams in Group A.

Their own assertion that SSG's victory over IG can be said to be LCK's unique confidence, but it is clear that LZ is the No. 1 seed, but they think that their No. 1 seed will lose to EDG.

Before Wither could speak, Emperor Qi smiled and put it on his shoulder, "Oh no, we need Brother Saint Zhen to defeat that pervert of Nexus!" ”

"Park Jae-hyuk, no big or small, put your hands away, and don't interrupt the coach."

An Bixin took out a black ball stick and poked Emperor Qi, who ignored the etiquette of his juniors.

"Okay, okay!"

Emperor Ruler's hand was put down, and Withered said in words that he was not very sure about: "I, I try my best!" ”

Edgar raised his forehead, "Not as much as possible, but by sure!" ”

"The core of EDG's team is on the top lane, they are used to using the advantage of the upper midfield to spread to the lower lane, as long as they can press the dead on the road, our middle field will not lose to EDG, the lower lane is leading in personal strength, we don't rely on the incense burner monster understand?"

"This person is mainly too stable." The crown in the middle of the lane commented.

He very much agrees with the coach's idea that the final must be a battle between EDG and them.

This top laner is very similar to his style of play in S6 last year, and he can completely convert every economy he eats into the support, damage, and even the motivation needed for the team's tempo.

LZ are so proud that they have no one in sight and the level of the coaching staff in the quarter-finals proves that they have not eaten the world version of S7 at all.

On the contrary, EDG has been trying boldly, and if they change their opponents in the semifinals, they will also be able to defeat the inflated Dragon Ball team in front of them.

It's a pity that last year he was at the peak of his personal strength and could only win the runner-up, and this year's Nexus will end up the same as him.

If it were another team to play against them in the top four, maybe the crown didn't dare to have such a mind, but it just so happened that the opponent was IG.

A weakened version of EDG!

The same upper midfield tactics, the same lower lane pressure resistance, and EDG's many trainings, whether intentional or unintentional, IG are imitating the opponent's tactics.

The only difference is that the current core of the two teams is Nexus in the top lane and Rookie in the middle.

Samsung's ability to go all the way from the bubble game to today is not due to the outstanding individual strength of the players, but to the countless excellent analysts and coaches standing behind them.

For IG, they get a lot more.

Edgar waved his hand, "We have to try our best to understand IG's style of play in the semi-finals, and find a way to target EDG." ”

"The Dragon Balls are too inflated...... Of course, we also have to expect them to play more cards for us, boys, I said last year, you won the runner-up in the first year, and in the second year I will take you to the final stage again to lift the championship trophy......"

"Gentlemen, for the sake of glory!"

"Come on!"

……

At the end of the interview, the five team members returned to the lounge almost at the same time, and the staff packed their bags early to wait for the players to finish.

"Don't swell, don't be anxious, steady!"

"Our quarterfinals are just the beginning!"

Edju stood at the door, and after hugging one by one, he said ridiculous words, "You have to go to the finals and get more prize money." ”

"Ah, boss, I'm not sleepy if you say that!"

"Rush and rush, wait for me to win the MVP in the finals."

"Roll on, you pig brain is overloaded in the field, isn't it good to lie down the road honestly and win, don't play hard in the finals, you can send me the warmth on the other side."

Abu smiled and pushed everyone to the door, "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when we eat, we can have a half-day holiday today as usual." ”

"IG, are they going?"

"Don't go, King Ning seems to have made an appointment with people and friends from other competition areas to practice!"

"We also have an appointment with IG later, and they feel that this time is more liver than us."

"Definitely, I heard that when Boss Wang entered the quarterfinals, he sealed a red envelope of 150,000 yuan for each of them, and even Jack had a ......"

"150,000, wouldn't seven people get more than 100 Ws?" Nexus, who hasn't fully transitioned from a small substitute role, just thinks it's a lot of money.

"Ahem, we also have reached the semi-finals, and if we can break through the finals, the club will have additional bonuses!"

"Is there one?" The sister looked suspicious.

Abu nodded, "Really, you don't even read the terms of the contract?" ”

"Hey, didn't you think you could break through the quarterfinals before-quack!"

Seeing that his own list was excited about IG's bonus, Edzhu suddenly panicked, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to explain: "Xiao Jiang, your MVP bonus has just been sent out financially, and you didn't do it online banking yourself, so you didn't receive a text message prompt." ”

"No lower than IG's!"

It's over, Edju didn't forget to add.

Hearing the contestants' exchanges about IG bonuses, Boss Zhu, who was extremely sensitive to bad signals from the outside world, quickly realized that it was the information deliberately released by the bastard of IG.

Want to use your filthy little money to catch my little fragrant pig?

Hmph - what a next work.

Jiang Zhun said that he was really shocked by the bonus of more than one million, although Boss Zhu had increased his annual salary by more than five times before the World Championship, but how could that thing be able to share so many bonuses in one game It sounds shocking, and I have to say that IG "accidentally" revealed it through Jack's mouth It has an effect.

There will be more to reach the finals to tie the best record of the LPL, and winning the first championship of the LPL is super doubled.

Along the way, zet and scout, the two Korean double C's faces were slightly red, and they couldn't calm down for a long time under the effect of money stimulants.

Winning the championship and playing a career for a year is really to achieve financial freedom, as long as you don't go to stock speculation or anything, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life.

Jiang Zhun himself also felt a little overexcited in his heart, and hurriedly turned on his mobile phone to distract himself from the discussion posts sent by the fun players on the e-sports forum.

During the World Championship, whether it is Weibo or the anti-bar Xiaopo station, young people are basically paying attention to the news of the e-sports circle.

The hot search of EDG's top eight has almost filled the top five in just half an hour.

No. 1 "EDG breaks through the quarterfinals!" ”

Ranked second, "S7 China and South Korea are strong and strong!" ”

There are tens of thousands of floors on Weibo, not to mention the base camp where fans are concentrated.

[Now I declare the biggest loser of the WE World Championship, who is for and against?] 】

[Opening lightning strike, I can't laugh anymore, Nexus + TheShy plus Khan's three semi-finals were all out of the WE bench within a year. 】

[He won't be able to give him a chance, now he will cry silently outside the World Championship by himself. 】

[Brothers, I said that this year, EDG defeated Dragon Ball, IG defeated Samsung, and LPL two male Bird's Nest will be no problem, right? ] 】

[Difficult, at least IG wants to defeat the current SSG, it's not easy, don't scold me if you say it, IG fans don't scold me, I'm divided into a weak group, and the six to zero I get is really not much reference value. 】

[Yes, who would have thought that SSG would send SKT away directly, the poor big demon king with four eyes is ominous in his old age. 】

[EDG and LZ open five-five.] 】

[LZ defeated SKT 3-1 in the LCK finals, SSG defeated SKT 3-0, and our EDG beat SSG in the group stage, so I said that EDG is greater than Dragon Ball in the first half of the region, right?] 】

[The angle is strange, but there is nothing wrong!] 】

The posts in the post bar touting EDG and worrying about IG were all touted by Jiang Zhun in horror.

"Let's look at the stickers less."

"It's them who blow, and if we lose to LZ, they'll be the hardest to spray."

Ming Kai saw this group of fans who only like champions very thoroughly.

What the jungler said was the truth, Jiang Zhun didn't care about those off-site discussions, and in the post bar, just the suggestions sent by the maggot babies were piled up and waiting for him to turn it over.

There are also some support posts for true love fans.

As soon as the results of the semi-finals came out, some players made promotional pictures of support.

The essence post is high on the front page of the anti-bar.

The title is also very exciting.

"What are you going to do?" "Fight the three stars, capture the Dragon Ball!"

"What if you don't go back?"

"Then there will be no return!"

……

One black and one white, two anime-esque characters walk at a fork in the road, fists colliding with each other.

The white character looks a little thin, and the other anime youth in black looks stronger, and the IG and EDG team logos behind him are rendered with golden brilliance.

Have a heart!

Jiang Zhun tapped his phone and replied to the post, "Don't worry, you will definitely return triumphantly!" ”

After posting, I shared the post to the Shuaibi group.

Soon the voice belonging to Jack in the group chat came, "Oh my God! "Earth, there is no reason!" "I've been doing my best for the past half a month, and I've worked hard without credit, right?"

"Why!"

"Why, there is no me in the support map!!"

In the cheering picture, the two people who bumped fists were obviously Kang Joon and TheShy, and the players, including the substitutes, lined up one by one in their respective directions and waited in place with a smile.

On the sky of the manga is the team logo of SSG and LZ!

It's just that when Shuai Biqun saw this support map, Jack couldn't find his own character after looking for a long time, so he directly bombarded him with voice.

"No, I don't care, it has to have my name!"

Rookie: "Shall we have another training session tomorrow?" ”

King Ning: "Yes, yes, we really don't have the bottom to fight Samsung, their vision iron bucket array is too disgusting, I have studied it several times and feel like a hedgehog at a loss." ”

TheShy: "Quasi-pot, help the nests, and make it to the finals...... I'll treat you to dinner! ”

Ming Kai: "The training match will definitely be played, and we will still count on you to help us train together after you play, but after the three-star quarterfinals, the strength is obviously much stronger than the group stage, and we have not been able to play against them after that, so we can only say that with our previous experience, we can help you as much as we can." ”

"By the way, Jack won't go first, let's all go to Konishi, your semifinals are ahead of us."

Jack: "Good! ヽ(￣▽￣)！ ”

Nexus: "Don't want to run, you're still with us after the fight, you have to give me overtime training to get down the road if you win or lose, and choose Delevingne to die to press me down." ”

zet：“┭┮﹏┭┮！ ”

……

is also as worried by the audience in Tieba, it is a good thing that the two teams did not enter the semifinals without a civil war, but there is also the terrifying possibility that the teams that lost to LCK in the semifinals will not be able to enter the finals at their own doorstep.

Pressure!

After dinner that night, all EDG members rested early, and the bus arranged by Edzhu in the morning sent the team members to the airport at the fastest speed in Qiumingshan.

After a few hours of plane journey, the club's veteran driver who would drift out of the bend took everyone back to the base for an improved base dinner, and then soaked with the IG team of six.

EDG is very concerned about training IG from coaches to players, because it is not only a matter of helping brothers, but also a test of how far SSG has evolved today.

In the training match, the two families didn't have any intention of hiding any tactics, and those things were waiting for the team to defeat the LCK, and if they fell to the top four, everything could only be empty talk.

This year's top laner heroes are different from the heavy fighters who were able to dominate the game at that time in S5, and the S7's top lane choice is more biased towards single belts.

For Samsung, IG's strengthening point is also very simple and rude - try to study each other's vision layout habits.

No way, S7's average number of eye inserts per minute is exaggerated to 3.87, and the efficiency of eye row has reached a terrifying 43.9%.

IG's weakness happens to be in the field of vision again.

While training IG, the EDG players did not stop eating individually.

Brother Mediterranean still sends Jiang Zhun one after another specially processed review videos and player data on time every day.

As a commander, he took a lot of things to heart, and a lot of information control during the training camp between the two teams was constantly strengthened in the exchange of ideas.

Like corejj, which has the highest participation rate in the entire S7 so far, his participation rate has reached a terrifying 83.2%, and another heart-wrenching data is his own auxiliary sister buckle, which is fifty ranks worse than corejj, with less than 74% participation rate.

Of course, this has the relationship that the sister buckle needs to protect Zet for a long time, but for the wandering of Samsung assistance, it is a point that the two teams need to focus on to target.
