Chapter 279: Welcome Home – Zet!

"Since the East-West Division, there have been more than 42 large-scale battles in the past dynasties, and it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong, but cloud players have all noticed that it is in this ancient battlefield that determines the rise and fall of many generations of Galaxy Battleships and the Three Imperial Families, so there is a saying that spring has won the championship since ancient times!"

—— 2018 LPL Spring Tournament First Round of the same group round-robin matchup ended in a note

A week ago, the first stage of the spring tournament ended with EDG sweeping the West with a proud record of 6-0.

The Spring Festival holiday led to a rather tense schedule this year, and after the end of the civil war between the east and west, the confrontation between the east and west of the league immediately began in full swing with a rhythm of five days a week, three games a day.

On paper, the western part of the country, which has EDG, WE, OMG, and Snake, is slightly stronger than the eastern one.

But after four match days, everyone was shocked to find that the IG, RNG, and RW records in the eastern theater were all 2-0, and the 'strong teams' WE, OMG, and Snake in the west except EDG were 0-2, 0-2, and 1-1 respectively.

For a time, there was a constant uproar on the Internet:

[Hell mode in the west, full of fish belly in the east]

[Sure enough, it's the big stage in Xi'an, if you want to win, you can come, WE even lost the top of the new army]

[No, I have a hunch that IG, RNG, and RW swept all the teams in the West except EDG 6-1]

[Don't make a fuss about starch, IG, RNG, RW, which win is not won with a score of 2:0 neatly, your Jiade G team has to play a WE 2:1, and you still want to wrestle with the three heroes in the east? ] 】

[Summary of vegetables for western use: Ulva

[Compared to last year's EDG, it is obviously much weaker, but it is not enough to play RNG, IG, and RW, and it is difficult to win them all, but you should be able to win one or two]

[The voice of the top single is not as loud as last year, the coach BP focuses on an evil door, the ultimate nerve knife in the middle laner, and the bottom lane is stable but not strong, what do you say EDG will win RNG? 】

[Upstairs Sanjie 6-1 is indeed nonsense, I think it should be 7-0]

[MD, the emperor is numb, you are glad that you didn't meet EDG in the first week, otherwise you will directly beat your home team back to its original form]

[There is indeed a gap in the strength of the east and west, if you follow the rules, it will be a little unfair to the eastern team]

[I originally felt uncomfortable that OMG was assigned to the west and WE, EDG in a half-district, but now I only have the joy of stealing~]

……

Modu, EDG Club.

Because of the home field, the major clubs in the Eastern Division collectively went west, and EDG, which was in the enemy camp, did not play any games in the fourth week of the spring season.

However, tomorrow, RNG, one of the three heroes in the east and a long-standing grudge with EDG, will return to the Demon City and start a fierce battle with EDG on March 5th.

In the face of fierce enemies and shaky gossip on the Internet.

Former world No. 1 jungler, EDG veteran, S7 season global champion, and current EDG team coach 7-chan spoke:

"I don't understand why everyone is talking about the three heroes of the east led by IG, as if the upcoming heterogeneous competition is doomed to bad luck for us in the west and for our EDG. A few months ago, we embarked on another journey! Achieve a major victory in the S Race and become the first champion team in the LPL! ”

"Everywhere this team goes, the people welcome it wholeheartedly, and it is really a good time!"

"That kind of vigorous and vigorous realm, where all things compete, is still in front of us."

"But just a few months later, has the out-of-group rivalry in this spring tournament become our burial place?"

"No matter what, the strength of the battle is to fight against the only champion team against the western uncrowned ants, the first crown town is nothing, and the advantage is mine!"

Of course, the above is purely a refined and expanded speech of the EDG Art Troupe.

7 sauce's real speech is:

"What championship does he RNG? I'm already working on IG and Squad Heroes! ”

Truth be told, the league's schedule is really good for EDG.

The out-of-group confrontation lasted two and a half weeks and lasted 36 matches.

In the first five match days, EDG did not have a single game, and for the sake of traffic, the league officials also put RNGvsWE, IGvsSnake, RWvsOMG and other more focused battles in the first week.

In this way, EDG has plenty of time to study the opponent's tactical system and heroic play.

In this regard, there is also a team that is not RNG and has always been at odds with EDG complaining about the schedule under the official Weibo, and their team has to fly to two places to play three games a week, and at the same time, the official Yin-Yang League treats EDG club specially.

The official responded immediately:

"The fixtures are based on basic facts, including where the clubs are located and where they are played. It is the optimal arrangement that fully considers the preparation and transportation of each team. ”

"LPL has always been a business alliance, and traffic is one of the factors that business alliances are most concerned about."

"Because of the long Spring Festival offseason, and the tight schedule of various events in League of Legends this year, a total of three teams will play three games this Monday, which is not the official intention of the league to target anyone, and the EDG club will play seven games in the next 14 days, which is also tight."

"And this arrangement is also based on the reasonable arrangement made by the eastern and western regions, and the EDG club, which is the western team, is located in the magic capital!"

"EDG is the first team in the LPL League to win the S Championship award, and there is no special treatment for such a schedule without deliberately targeting other clubs."

There are many netizens who are abusive and ridiculous about LPL's official response, and they shout on the Internet that LPL is unfair, and on the other hand, they ridicule EDG's 'Guodian' for being worthy of its name.

But most netizens remained silent.

The treatment is won by one's own strength.

This time, the alliance officials did not engage in the injustice of 'birthday suspension'.

Moreover, except for the western EDG did not play in the fourth week, and the eastern SNG did not play in the first week, it is obvious that this is due to the transportation and geography that the schedule has to be arranged this way.

If you insist on saying that it is unfair, you can only complain that the decision of the "Esports Strategy Conference" in December last year to make the decision of the eastern and western regions is too stupid.

"Where is the favoritism?"

"Where is the favoritism?"

Sister Bu looked at the royal miscellaneous people who were not too big to watch the excitement on the phone, and rolled her eyes anxiously:

"We haven't been like this at EDG for so many years!"

"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open!"

"It's hard for EDG to schedule this fixture!"

The words are disgusting to listen to, but Sister Bu is really not talking nonsense.

"The RNG in the spring was already terrifying, and they won two games in a row."

"We don't have a game in EDG for a week, the teams are either flying or on their way to another home stadium, and we can't even schedule a few training matches a week!"

"Why don't these people put themselves in their shoes and help us think about it!"

"Ouch, I'm!"

Seeing that Sister Bu's complexion was gradually heating up, the professional analyst immediately handed him a bottle of mineral water, and then said with a smile: "Today's Lantern Festival, there is no need for Mr. Bu to be angry!" ”

"It's all people who don't know much about the esports world, we just need to play ours!"

Pamphon –

Sister Bu took half a bottle of Baisui Mountain in one breath to reduce the temperature, turned on the mobile phone and looked at the time and asked, "When will Xiao Jiang and the factory director come back?" ”

"The flight is to the airport at half past two in the afternoon, pick up the airport for half an hour, and then take the outer ring highway without traffic jams if it takes about 40 minutes, and you should be able to come back before four o'clock."

"Uh-huh!" Sister Bu: "Today is the Lantern Festival, let the kitchen prepare some Yongcheng dumplings first, and when they come back, they can pad their stomachs, and then our club will go out for dinner and have a welcome party in the evening." ”

"Be sure to let others know that we are the most humane club at EDG!"

"I know it's dark all day long."

"Humph!"

……

Modu Hongqiao International Airport.

A quiet-looking young man in a down jacket pushed two suitcases alone, carrying a large bag behind him, walking alone in the smooth and cold tiled aisle.

Feeling the phone in his trouser pocket vibrate slightly, Zet quickly stopped, put the suitcase aside, and put down the heavy backpack and took out the phone:

【 huan ying hui jia~~】

【 wo men zai chu zhan kou deng ni ne! 】

[[Image].jpg]

Looking at the group photo of Jiang Zhun, the factory director, sister control and others, Hai Chengmin's nose was sore, and he wanted to respond with his frozen fingers that were a little stiff.

Maybe the luggage was too heavy and his muscles twitched slightly, or maybe he was too excited, he clicked the screen several times in a row and didn't click on the letters.

After several attempts in a row, Hae Sung-min pointed to the front of the aisle in front of him, took a photo, and sent it with Qiuqiu.

……

Doodoo—

The phone receives the message.

It's Zet's reply.

"He's coming out right away!" Jiang Zhun looked at the photos on the screen, and his tone was excited.

The factory director on the side also stretched out his head and quickly glanced at Jiang Zhun's mobile phone screen with a dead fish eye.

It is a picture of the aisle, due to exposure, the exit at the end of the aisle is bright white, but the always-on passage is a little dark, there are few people in the aisle, and the perspective is next to suitcases and backpacks.

"So many things, Zet's little body is moving!"

The factory director looked at the suitcase in the lower right corner of the photo and smashed his mouth, "Two suitcases, one with a backpack that can't even be zipped, and a bag!" ”

"He doesn't need to bring so much at all, he just needs to bring a keyboard and mouse, and other daily necessities will naturally come to the club."

Jiang Zhun: "Haha, maybe the suitcase is a gift he brought us?" ”

"If you don't bring me a gift, wait until the base directly gives him a morning exercise of hell difficulty!"

The factory director smiled, and then looked aside: "Xiao Chan, sister control, get up, Zet is almost at the exit of the station, he has a little more luggage, let's help get it together." ”

……

That's right, Zet is coming back to EDG!

It all started with the news that BBQ lost to Samsung, and when he left the lounge, Zet took out his phone and sent a message to Kang Joon.

[ wo hao xiang ni men a (tearful .jpg)] is such a message composed of pinyin and expressions, from which the EDG crowd read Zet sadness.

The image of that quiet, gentle, silent teammate who doesn't like words resurfaced in everyone's minds.

While it's normal for old teammates to send a message once in a while, Zet's timing and content are also too sensitive.

As soon as Jiang Zhun and the others defeated WE and returned to the backstage lounge, his message came over.

The time difference between Nanba and China is only one hour, and at that time, whether it was an LCK or LPL team, as long as they didn't play, they were generally playing training matches or playing Rank (working hours).

Zet suddenly sent a message, and the content was not to congratulate EDG on their victory over WE.

Apparently not simply because of the literal "I miss you so much".

So, a few of the stinkers get together to discuss Zet's reason for sending the message, and the girl finds out that BBQ happened to have a match with SSG that day, and BBQ lost.

And after everyone watched the last clip of the game replay and found that the base exploded in the second game, the BBQ top laner and mid laner in the video looked at Zet's expressions very wrong!

It's a bit like EDG's victory over SSG in the S7 finals, and Ann's face looks at Ruler.

Jiang Zhun, who had watched the video clips of 'Lost Room Card' and 'Red Ginseng is Expensive, Was Given by His Mother', immediately thought of Zet's absurd but somewhat reasonable idea of being bullied by his internal 'seniors'.

Under the care of the EDG people, Zet also told his own story.

As a result (using LPL Rules 1.2, 4.1, 4.2, omitting the N), Zet returned to the EDG Club.

……

"Xiaohai, you've lost weight!"

"Come on, come on, I'll help you carry your suitcase."

"I've lost weight."

"Our club has recently hired two new chefs, and the chefs are delicious! Look at Xiao Chan, is it a lot fatter? ”

"Abu said that he went out to dinner tonight, and he was finally able to slaughter him, so don't eat too much when you go back to the base for a snack."

Zet was surrounded in the middle by EDG's group, nodding his head in confusion.

"Alright, alright."

"Look at you, you made Xiaohai so shy."

"Let's get in the car first and chat in the car!"

Jiang Zhun easily picked up Zet's full backpack with one arm, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "In EDG, no one dares to bully you!" ”

And then ...... Welcome home! ”

When we meet again after a long absence, of course, there are endless words in my heart.

But seeing the enthusiasm of his former and future teammates, Zet's eyes faintly sparkled.

He couldn't understand why his compatriots, who were also teammates, would treat him with that kind of face, but the EDG members in a foreign country.

Ay!

"Get in the car first, get in the car first." Zet held his eyes, squeezed a smile with difficulty, and walked briskly outside.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhun and the factory director and others laughed.

Scout, who didn't talk much, remembered his days as a group pet at SKT.

At that time, my treatment was similar to that of Zet at this time!

Even though they were not wearing a team uniform but wrapped in a thick down jacket, the powerful EDG group was still recognized by many pedestrians coming and going at the airport.

Perhaps because they didn't want to break the subtle joy between the players, no one stepped forward to ask for autographs or group photos.

But they still photographed Nexus, Clearlove7, Meiko, Scout and others surrounding a thin young man wearing a cap and a thick scarf.

The photo also quickly spread online:

"Who is this? The whole EDG team went to pick up the airport! ”

"I was at the airport at the time, but I didn't catch up to ask for an autograph because I checked in immediately."

"Looks like Zet."

"Didn't Zet play in the LCK Fried Chicken?"

……
