Most of those who drowned were swimmers.

The most traveled in the World Championship is also after the group, and I feel that the group stage has been stabilized.

Don't underestimate a second half.

Take, for example, the C9 of the S11.

This year's C9 successfully reached the quarterfinals.

So what were their results in the first half of the group stage?

0-3！

All three lose, one doesn't win!

However, in this case, C9 withstood the pressure and won three consecutive games in the second round to bring the score back to 3-3.

In the end, he won the play-off match with RGE and successfully completed the promotion!

Who said that if the first round is gone, the second round will not stand a chance?

As long as you don't throw in the towel, opportunities will always come.

With them like this, there are naturally negative examples.

There used to be teams that were 3-0 in the first half of the group stage, lost all three games in the second half, lost again in the playoffs, and then got out of the way.

Because it's so embarrassing, I won't name it.

Therefore, Xu Yuan did not have the slightest intention of relaxing, and in a short period of a few days, he still maintained a stable training volume every day.

Number ten, night.

Some cool evening breezes blew through the training room, bringing a little smoke and fire, which made the deserted training room more human.

On the position near the windowsill, Xu Yuan was sitting in front of the computer with his eyes intent.

He was meticulously practicing the mending knife.

Knife repair is the basic skill of ADC.

In many cases, because they feel that it is enough, many people have stopped this training for a long time.

However, for Xu Yuan, it is impossible to raise his strength to another level in a short period of time.

He's already, on the verge of approaching the ceiling of top AD.

Instead of playing Rank, it is better to stabilize the basic skills.

Xu Yuan's system didn't have the ability to keep him at the panel level all the time.

Xu Yuan was able to maintain his condition, more because he had never been lazy in training.

Because he was too far away from the target at that time, Xu Yuan didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Now, although he has gone to the front of the target.

The championship trophy that countless players have been chasing seems to be not far from him.

But Xu Yuan knew that if he slackened at this time, even he might be in the top eight.

So he has to take every opportunity to improve himself.

Tired?

Actually, you don't have to think about it at all.

I'm tired to death.

Even if Xu Yuan had a system, it would only relieve his physical fatigue, and mental fatigue would still accumulate.

It's normal to get tired of playing too many games.

But......

In order to make the bird's nest, there can be a team of its own that can be supported by LPL audiences.

Xu Yuan didn't have any reason to give up.

He was a ten-year veteran player in his last life, and S3 started watching games.

S7, Bird's Nest.

Two Korean teams!

This is what he impresses the most and regrets the most.

Maybe it's a curse, every time the global finals are held on CN's side, the ending of the LPL is not particularly good.

In the original S7, there was no LPL team in the finals, and RNG and WE both stopped in the semi-finals.

In the original S10, Shanghai was beaten into the Shanghai Library, DWG stepped on SN to win the championship, and the world's No. 1 Nakano group showmaker and Canyon in the minds of many people also became famous for the first time.

That feeling of unwillingness, Xu Yuan will never forget.

Now, the opportunity is here.

And, only once!

Xu Yuan will not allow failure due to any reason of his own.

Yes, he is systematic.

He also has a lot of confidence to win the championship in the future.

Become a champion AD and get countless praises and cheers.

However, the Bird's Nest, only once.

If you fail this time, you really fail.

Even if he wins many times in the future, Xu Yuan will still not be able to let go.

He has been working hard for this goal for a long time.

Obsession has also emerged.

So he didn't relax.

To be able to improve a little more basic skills is a little bit.

Being able to practice a little more proficiency is a point.

To be able to work a little harder, yes!

After finishing the mending knife training, Xu Yuan leaned back slightly and stretched his waist gently.

The glow of the computer screen was cast on his somewhat tired face.

"Hoo ......"

He exhaled and rubbed his face to refresh himself.

Glancing at the time in the bottom right corner of the computer.

3：52

"Is it late at night again?"

He just sighed and put his hand back on the keyboard, ready to start the next hero's mending training.

"Haven't you slept yet?"

At this moment, a somewhat dull voice came from the door.

Xu Yuan turned his head and saw Ming Kai who was already wearing pajamas with a water glass.

The training room here is a temporary pack-up, and it is only a few rooms away from the place where the players live.

"Well, I can't sleep."

Xu Yuan spoke truthfully,

"Why?"

Ming Kai sat down next to him casually, buckled his eye droppings, snorted, and flicked them lightly, sending them flying.

Xu Yuan: ......

He glanced at the gossip that he didn't know where it had flown to, and decided not to see it.

"It's stressful."

Xu Yuan put down the mouse, looked at the screen in front of him in a daze, and spoke a little low.

"Brother Kai, do you know what it's like to have a heavy burden on your shoulders?"

"The feeling of a heavy burden is that a thousand people are looking forward to you."

"And now, there are more than a thousand people who are hoping that we can reach the finals?"

"They are waiting for us to give them confidence."

"Didn't you ask me the other day why I keep taunting my opponents at Worlds? Actually, I don't hate them at all, it's just that it's easier to do so. ”

"In that case, the people who support us will feel a little more at ease, right?"

"That's what I think."

"Why is there so much pressure? That's because I don't want to just make it to the final, I want to win the final! ”

"Win it back, that's our first championship."

Xu Yuan said calmly.

After being beaten out of the midfield gap by SKT in the early group stage, didn't he panic?

Actually, there is, but it is less than ten seconds.

He is not God.

He's not much of a protagonist either.

He's just one of the lucky ones who has been favored by the system and has qualified to compete with the best players in the world.

Who would dare to say that the Worlds must be won?

Now with the help of the system and clairvoyance, it just allows Xu Yuan to stand on the same starting line as his opponent.

If he hadn't trained hard, he wouldn't have been able to get to where he is today.

So it's really normal for Xu Yuan to be stressed.

Listening to his words, Ming Kai's face was slightly moved.

He spoke slowly, "You've got it all on your own." ”

"Xu Yuan, winning the opponent is the goal of all of us in EDG, don't put all the responsibility on yourself, we are a whole."

He smiled,

"I want to win too."

"It doesn't matter if it's SKT, or LZ, or SSG."

"They're all very strong opponents."

"Xu Yuan, I'm actually quite happy."

Mingkai smiled and stood up.

He walked over to the windowsill and turned his face to look out at the somewhat gray sky outside.

"When I first started playing professionally, we had more than two or three thousand yuan a month, and we had to go all over the country to find competitions, and sometimes the money we got after the game was not enough for the fare."

"Ruofeng knows, right? At that time, he gave me a third or even half of his salary every month. ”

He said calmly,

"But people really like to play."

"Now, the esports environment is much better."

"But the number of players with a sense of responsibility suddenly began to decrease."

"I'm really glad you're willing to tell me this."

He was facing Xu Yuan.

Although he couldn't see it very clearly, Xu Yuan knew that Ming Kai was looking at him.

"We are EDG."

"Pressure, let's fight together."

"We're a team, aren't we?"

He smiled and spoke.

So Xu Yuan also smiled.

"Yes."

He replied.

Xu Yuan did feel a lot better, turned around, and continued to train.

Mingkai, on the other hand, sat quietly behind him, watching him conduct boring mending knife training.

I don't know how long it has been, but the sky has been clouded.

The time on Xu Yuan's computer has also been displayed at 5:31.

Xu Yuan let go of the mouse and nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, there will be no problem adjusting the feel of the knife.

Just as he was about to get up and go to rest, Ming Kai, who was sitting behind him, suddenly spoke.

"What are your plans for next year?"

Xu Yuan paused.

"Not yet."

"Don't you really want to stay at EDG?"

Ming Kai asked.

"No, I'm still thinking about it."

Xu Yuan shook his head.

"Why?"

"Brother Kai, didn't you say that you are still thinking about it? It's not necessarily going to go. ”

Xu Yuan smiled.

Of course Mingkai knows.

But he really didn't want to see Xu Yuan leave EDG.

Such young and outstanding players can really hold up a club for the next three or even five years.

However, he did not open his mouth to force Xu Yuan.

Because although Ming Kai also wanted Xu Yuan to take over his class, he thought about it more.

Yes, Xu Yuan's stay in EDG can indeed guarantee EDG's performance in the next few years.

But the question is, is this fair to Xu Yuan?

Once the future EDG is not a person, a few newcomers are dumped every year for Xu Yuan to lead, which is almost burying the future of a champion potential player.

It's not very likely that Edju will do this, and for the most part he is still very sensible.

But he's the boss after all.

The purpose of the boss is to make money.

So Ming Kai would still choose to stand on Xu Yuan's side and help him think about it.

Because, he said he was a fan of himself.

"If you want to go, you have to contact the club you want to go to as soon as you finish the World Championship, you can tell me anything, and I will help you solve it as much as possible."

Ming Kai put his hand on Xu Yuan's shoulder and patted it gently.

His voice was a little low, but still gentle.

"Don't expect management, and don't expect bosses."

"Remember to say goodbye to everyone before leaving, don't say goodbye without saying goodbye."

"We studied the issue of the contract at the time, and it didn't have much constraint on you, so don't worry about this."

"Think more about your future, don't sign a three-year or five-year contract just because of a high contract for a while, it's best to sign it every two years."

"Usually, I think you can save money on money, so it's good, save more money, and even if you don't play professionally in the future, you will have a place to rely on."

"If you really leave, my brother's phone and WeChat are not allowed to be deleted, if something really happens, call me."

"If you are short of money, don't be embarrassed, my brother still saved a little money."

"You can't touch gambling and drugs, Huang ...... You can grasp this yourself, look at the appearance of your kid, and you are not a person who likes to mess with flowers. Don't be a ladybug, live a stable life, and find someone who likes you. ”

"Xu Yuan, ah......"

"No matter what choice you make, live your life well."

"Take responsibility for your own life."

“……”

Ming Kai said a lot, like an old father, he told Xu Yuan one sentence after another.

But he didn't say the sentence he wanted to say the most.

He didn't want to interfere with Xu Yuan's choice.

Xu Yuan listened quietly, he didn't need to look back to know what kind of gaze Ming Kai was now.

Only cherished.

"I know, Brother Kai."

There was a smile in his voice.

"How do you act like an old grandmother?"

"Stinky boy, isn't your brother worried about you?"

Ming Kai said angrily.

"Let's go, Brother Kai."

Xu Yuan got up, covering up his somewhat complicated emotions, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, let's go."

Xu Yuan turned off the computer and walked out of the training room with Ming Kai in silence.

When he came to his door, he gently opened it.

Don't want to disturb other people's rest.

Mingkai beat Hatcher and opened the door as well.

"Brother Kai?"

Xu Yuan suddenly spoke.

“？”

Ming Kai turned his head suspiciously, still with the iconic dead fish eyes.

But Xu Yuan felt that he was very handsome now.

"Why don't you leave me alone?"

He whispered.

Mingkai gave a wicked smile and turned around.

Before closing, only the last few words remained.

"Because I want you to choose."

"Because I'm afraid of you, really because I said let you stay."

"You're staying."

Click, the door shut.

"Little cub, get out of here."

Xu Yuan watched him close the door.

Turn around.

In some warm light and dark, I walked through another door.

Smack.

The door, closed.

On October 12th, the second round of the group stage officially began!

The first to play was the LZ group.

This group is also the only group that does not have an LPL team, so it can basically be said that LZ is abusing vegetables.

GAM？

FNC？

IMT？

These teams are undoubtedly stinky fish and shrimp in front of LZ, the No. 1 seed.

It's too easy to fight these unstructured teams in Korean operation.

On October 13th, the second half of WE arrived.

They are still very confident of qualifying.

The only goal is to defeat the SSG.

And this time, they lost even worse than the first.

Because of the strength of the SSG, it suddenly began to increase!

The other teams hadn't reacted yet, but Xu Yuan had already expected it.

SSG……

This team is before and after the version.

It's exactly two teams.

The SSG in the final played against the SSG in the group stage, and the SSG in the group stage was able to abuse the SSG in the group stage by 100 to 0.

It's that exaggerated.

The most powerful enemy expected, has finally begun to rise.

WE unfortunately lost to SSG, but it was not difficult to get the second seed to qualify, and in the end, it was also successfully qualified, becoming the first LPL team to qualify.

October 14th, the coolest day of RNG abuse.

Hit TSM: Four guarantees one, abuse vegetables.

Hit FW: RNG, RNG, how can you be so depraved? Isn't it good to practice more four-point bands?

Hit MSF: Four guarantees and one, abuse vegetables.

Topped the group and successfully qualified!

Of the three teams in the LPL, two teams have already reached the quarterfinals.

That's it, it's already stronger than last year.

On October 15th, EDG, the last team of the much-anticipated LPL, is about to debut!

Xu Yuan put on the team uniform, carefully tidied up the cuffs, and walked out of the door.

There, it was Ming Kai who was waiting, with a calm expression.

Xu Yuan smiled.

"Let's go!"
