MSI, full name League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational.

Seeded teams from 13 regions around the world will compete in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this year.

Moreover, MSI is extremely critical now.

Because it determines the place in the World Finals.

The region that finishes in the semi-finals of this year's MSI will have a place as the No. 1 seed in the group stage of this year's Worlds.

That is, the top seed in the region directly becomes the No. 1 seed in the group.

This is still quite crucial, because after getting it, there is a chance to avoid the situation of group stage civil war.

After all, no one wants to fight their own team for bayonets in the group stage.

At this moment, EDG has entered the final training countdown.

Today's Xu Yuan's life is very regular.

After waking up in the morning, I played Rank by myself for more than two hours and practiced for an hour to mend the knife.

Then there was the afternoon training session after session.

Now that some teams have taken a holiday, EDG can only find teams that have not been on vacation.

Some answered, some didn't.

After all, everyone is on vacation, and whether they are willing to accompany you EDG training depends on their mood.

Fortunately, RNG and WE both agreed to EDG's request for a training match.

Today's LPL is indeed very united.

Today, EDG has only three opponents: RNG, WE, IG.

Many of the IG players didn't leave after the holiday, after all, it is impossible for Korean players to go back on such a short vacation.

So the basic personnel are there.

Anyway, it was nothing, so I naturally took over the training match.

And because of this, EDG training matches have the lowest win rate against IG in the first place.

The reason is simple.

“GG。”

Xu Yuan typed GG on the screen and quit the game steadily for fifteen minutes.

This is already the third training match lost to IG today.

Xu Yuan glanced at his unfinished line.

I took another look at the second tower on the road, which was already about to fall.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, if you continue to fight, you may not lose, but the training competition is about the early operation and alignment, and since the results have been produced, there is naturally no need to fight.

Ah Guang was blown up again.

And rightfully so.

When IG replaced the newcomer who likes to catch Jungle Ning, coupled with the fierce and terrible Theshy on the line.

These two people are combined......

During this time, Ah Guang, who was originally much relieved because Xu Yuan often took on the pressure of being arrested, suffered a very terrifying military training.

He was also unsurprisingly devastated.

After all, Ah Guang is really not strong on the line, and it is very difficult to face Theshy alone, not to mention that Theshy also brings a King Ning.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Ah Guang's face also lost his smile, full of self-blame.

In the professional competition, being pushed to the second tower by others in ten minutes undoubtedly means that the line has completely failed.

Ah Guang didn't even dare to look up, he was afraid to see the disappointed faces of his teammates.

He knows that he is EDG's biggest breakthrough.

During this time, Ah Guang has not stopped training and worked very hard.

However, the gap in talent is there, and if you can't beat the line, you can't beat it.

Thinking of the MSI opponent he was about to face, Ah Guang's body trembled slightly, and he immediately became more determined to train fiercely.

He must not let the tragedy of the training match appear on MSI!

Li Xiaocan's face was calm but also indifferent.

He doesn't like to comfort people.

Ming Kai scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know how to solve the dilemma of going on the road.

Meiko was also in no mood to speak.

Three consecutive lanes are not over, and the game is over!

How could he not feel anything?

But it was useless to blame his teammates, so he chose to remain silent.

Abu stood behind them, watching without saying a word.

Don't ask Abu why he just watched, because that's what he wanted.

IG's Ueno is strong, really strong.

Especially this Theshy.

In Abu's analysis, it may be more suppressive and aggressive than SKT's top laner Huni.

To exaggerate.

The strength of this combination is only higher than that of SKT's Huni and Peanut combination.

That's what Abu wants.

By playing training matches with teams that are stronger than SKT's Uenoto, as much as possible during this time, how can Ah Optics better stabilize.

If you have beaten an opponent with a perfect score, and then come and go to an opponent with a score of 90, the odds of winning will definitely be much higher.

But...... There's a problem.

That's the mentality of the players.

Anyone who has played games with buddies knows that there is often a situation like this:

Gleefully went all night, talking at first, babbling in the middle of the night, and being silent when he was about to get off the plane.

Even losing in the dormitory all night will make you have a mentality, not to mention losing in training matches.

Just when Abu was worried, Xu Yuan stretched his waist.

"Ah Guang, do you want to rest for a while?"

"I ...... I ......"

Ah Guang looked at Xu Yuan, who was still smiling, and was a little overwhelmed.

"Do you think it's a shame that you can't beat it? Or are you afraid that we will lose? ”

Xu Yuan asked with a smile.

In the entire EDG training room, his voice was the only one echoing.

"I'm afraid of holding back......"

Aguang Nana's opening.

"Harm."

Xu Yuan got up and patted him on the shoulder.

"We are a team, if you can't beat it, you can adjust it slowly, I don't believe that the other side can really make you stable."

"Don't be afraid, when it's really desperate, I'll take action."

"Ah Guang, believe me, is it okay?"

He didn't feel any mood swings because of three straight defeats.

Truth be told, the despair he'd experienced was much scarier than this thing.

What is it like to lie in bed every day and wait for death to come at any time?

This was the daily routine of the last decade of his life.

So Xu Yuan didn't have any irritability or anything like that.

He had long been accustomed to patience.

After all, it's useless to rush.

Ah Guang looked at his gentle eyes, and finally nodded seriously.

Take a deep breath.

"Okay."

As the undoubted absolute daddy of EDG now, the more calm and breezy Xu Yuan becomes, the more confidence he brings to his teammates.

It also allows teammates not to choose to give up because of pressure.

After all, the big dads in the team are still emotionally stable.

Someone behind you can stand up!

This feeling of peace of mind can give people a little more courage.

Abu, who was standing behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Then let's rest for a while and continue to make an IG date?"

"No problem! Coach, I think we can play! ”

Xu Yuan was the first to respond.

With him taking the lead, Nakanosuke, who was originally irritable, naturally calmed down.

mentality, maintained!

Abu gave Xu Yuan a thumbs up in his heart.

What is leadership temperament?

That's what leadership is!

Time flies.

Soon, it was time to leave.

The door to the dormitory was open, and the sun was shining brightly.

[May 4th, fine. 】

[Today's training results are not ideal, Ah Guang is still very uncomfortable being caught, but when he is alone against Theshy, he has learned not to be killed alone. 】

[May 5th, cloudy.] 】

[There was some low pressure in the field, I suspected that he was losing hemp, but when I told him that I lost I'd go to SKT, and he regained his fighting spirit, which was pretty good. 】

[May 7th, light rain]

[Gan, just remembered that this year, MSI can't play Xia, grass, fist to burn your dreams! 】

[May 8th, fine. 】

[Ah Guang is now steady and almost terrifying, he finally understands that as long as he doesn't die, it is enough, although he is very miserable by Theshy now, but the line finally does not raise his father, we have a chance to play SKT, because Huni is more garbage than Theshy. 】

"Xu Yuan, are you okay?"

Ming Kai's voice came from the door.

Xu Yuan, who was struggling to write, put away the diary and looked up in response.

Although a serious person does not keep a diary, is he a serious person?

Xu Yuan, who stood up, walked to the mirror.

The young man in the mirror is handsome and sunny, and at first glance he is a cheerful big boy.

"Not bad."

He muttered to himself in satisfaction and ran out of the dormitory.

Today is the day they travel to São Paulo, Brazil.

There are only two days left before the start of the group stage.

I didn't mourn for a moment because of the fall of RNG, and it was the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield-

EDG！

At the same time, ESPN, a well-known esports media outlet, has finally released their carefully edited MSI player rankings at this moment.

This media has a lot of background.

Any idea who is the S4 No. 1 ADC?

ESPN is Nami.

Then Nami ate the bowl of beef noodles and pulled it all the way from then on.

Before you know S5MSI, who was the number one player?

Lee Sang-hyuk!

As a result, SKT's fifth key game BP was routined, and Lee Sang-hyuk's Enchantress failed to play an effect, and even the Enchantress who used to have a 100% win rate still lost MSI.

With such a counterexample of the two Kazakh people in front of him, the current ESPN ranking is more often called the poisoned milk list.

Of course, although the first is poisoned milk, the second and third are generally very accurate. So it also has some reference value.

Not surprisingly, SKT is on the list.

NO1：SKT.Faker

What ESPN said about him:

"After experiencing the predicament of S4, we are very happy to see the official return of the Great Demon King, some people may think that S5 lost MSI's SKT is not worthy of the honor of ruling for a year, but S5 and S6 have been in the World Championship for two consecutive years, Faker is the undoubted cornerstone and core of winning the championship!"

This is also an honor that only the first place has, and the other players don't have many evaluations.

Second place went to Bang.

A simple sentence: "The strongest ADC so far, the textbook AD that all AD players should learn." ”

Third place went to Peanut, or Little Peanut.

"The crazy ROX of the S6 will never be possible without his near-perfect performance, and now that he has the MSI ticket again, it seems that he has been very successful in integrating into SKT."

Fourth place went to Wolf.

"With the support of tactical thinking, together with Bang, they are the strongest bottom lane group in the world right now."

Until the fifth place, it was the others.

NO5：z

"The man who saved G2 from fire and water, the absolute core of no doubt, the genius mid laner who created miracles!"

And EDG was able to make it into the top 10 with only two people.

NO.9：

"A midlaner who has successfully continued EDG's strong mid lane, but whether he can still perform as well as Pawn at Worlds is still a question mark, and we look forward to it."

NO.10：

That is, Xu Yuan.

ESPN's evaluation of Xu Yuan was even more contemptuous.

"A player who plays like Bang, an AD who is barely a genius, but no one knows how far he can go, he may not be able to do things like Deft, he may be stronger, we hope he can play a little better and not let the suspense disappear too soon."

As soon as ESPN's ranking came out, the domestic maggot babies were angry.

But I don't have much confidence to refute it.

After all, the S6 World Championship is like that B, what qualifications do you have to refute others?

Now, they can only hope for EDG.

"Although EDG Sima, since you are going, you'd better not lose!"

"There's no way, I can only support EDG, I scolded hard when I lost, and I blew hard when I won."

"It's fine. Although EDG's Uenosuke is a waste, but the double C is really top-notch, looking at ESPN's bird-like appearance, it is estimated that he didn't want to rank EDG's people in the top ten, but this double C data is really fierce enough, and it also played dominant. ”

"Yes, I believe Xu Yuan!"

"Now I have to become a miscellaneous, Xu Yuan will kill the master!"

The sisters on Weibo directly began to pray to EDG for God and Buddha.

This is also the repertoire before each competition.

It's really not good for my sisters to scold, but they do have a hand in the whole work.

"Ming Kai ~ Tian Ye ~ Xu Yuan ~ Li Xiaocang ~ Chen Yuhao ~ The soul is back!"

"Jimei, I just went to a nearby temple to ask EDG for a lot, and the result showed that it was signed!"

"EDG come on!! Smoke a 77.7R, open at night, and don't smoke those who have scolded EDG! ”

However, at this time, EDG was not aware of the turmoil on the Internet.

At seven o'clock in the evening, they arrived at the airport in São Paulo.

To be honest, this is Xu Yuan's first time abroad.

After connecting with the staff arranged by Fist, he was naturally taken to the hotel arranged by Fist.

Brazil is a place to ......

It's actually quite chaotic.

At least the staff at Riot warned EDG that it was best to talk to anyone if they wanted to leave the hotel.

But when it comes to safety, it's actually quite safe.

Although there are a lot of gangsters and drug dealers, for people with regular entry and exit records, there is basically no need to worry.

This is the confidence that CN brings to Xu Yuan!

After the Riot staff arranged the EDG players, Xu Yuan also felt a little hungry.

Call Mingkai to go out and eat something clean to cushion it, and then adjust the jet lag at night to avoid the situation of not adapting to the water and soil.

As a result, as soon as I was about to go out, I met SKT people who were also going out for dinner.

In some small corridors, two waves of people were stunned at the same time.

“Savior？”

The first to speak was Bang, whose face was a little surprised.

He looked Xu Yuan up and down, nodded imperceptibly, and asked in fluent English,

"Just arrived today?"

"Hmm."

Xu Yuan couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, and nodded lightly.

"Ha ......"

Bang smiled and walked in front of Xu Yuan.

"Do you remember what I told you? Go for a good meal. Greet your final lunch. ”

He seemed to want to say something like that condescendingly.

It's a pity that Xu Yuan is taller than him.

As a result, the momentum is a little insufficient.

"You're getting too close, and it's affecting my appetite."

Xu Yuan was not surprised by his taunts.

After all, as the current representative of both sides, Bang can only have this attitude towards him.

"I hope you don't just pay lip service."

Bang sneered and returned to the crowd at SKT.

Lee Sang-hyuk looked at Xu Yuan with a strange gaze.

That's what it is...... That good-tempered excessive AD?

Offline on this occasion, there is some unexpected sharpness.

Lee Sang-hyuk likes such opponents.

An unfazed victory for him......

It's a little boring.

When he crossed over Xu Yuan, he chuckled softly and patted Xu Yuan's shoulder.

"Come on."

Xu Yuan: ???

Lee Sang-hyuk: What are you doing?

We don't seem to know each other!

At this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly thought of a Bible chant:

Family, who knows.

When I met a shrimp head man today, I will do it when I come up!

It's really down!
