Professional anchor, part-time occupation

Happy hour is always short.

It didn't take long for the atmosphere in the EDG team to become serious again. The players changed from their usual relaxed and lazy, and were very serious about training in their seats.

EDG training room.

Abramovich pushed the door open and said, "The final between us and RNG is about to start, and this is also the last game in the league.

As long as we win RNG, we will be able to win the summer championship and get the No. [-] seed at the same time. "

Everyone on the field already knew about the schedule, but from what Abramovich said, the players still had a sense of urgency in their hearts.

After all, having reached this point, no one wants to miss the championship.

"Based on our experience with RNG, we have a very high chance of winning." Nofe said: "RNG has strong hard power, but like us, its tactics are concentrated in the lower half.

Therefore, when playing against RNG, we don't have to think too much about the opponent's tactical arrangement.

As long as you can contain the performance of the opposing bottom lane shooter, you can easily win the game. "

After analysis, the coaching staff has always been optimistic about the finals.

Because, the play styles of EDG and RNG are too similar, they both focus on the bottom lane to drive the rhythm and win the game.

In several matches, EDG had the upper hand in the bottom lane... This kind of suppression of core players undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm.

To put it simply, EDG's current team style is quite restrained from RNG.

Even, if you can choose one of the three teams of WE, IG and RNG as your opponent at will, EDG will most likely choose RNG.

Hearing the coaching staff's analysis, the members of EDG couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it is said that the pre-match analysis cannot be confused with the reality, it is also of reference value, at least you can get some psychological comfort.

Mouse said with a smile: "If you say that, don't we win casually?"

"Don't be careless." The factory manager is still mature and prudent: "RNG still has strength. We have won for such a long time, and we must not lose the chain at this last moment."

Everyone's heart froze.

Indeed, as the factory manager said, they have won for so long, it would be a pity if they lost the chain in the final and missed the championship.

Leaving outside fishing boats aside... even they themselves couldn't accept it.

At this time, Zoom said: "But I believe it is impossible for us to lose in the bottom lane."

After the words fell, everyone's eyes moved to the positions of Yezi and Meikou in a blink of an eye.

Abu also asked: "Yezi, Meikou, what do you say about the bot lane? Are you confident that you can suppress RNG's bot lane?"

It's not that Abramovich doesn't trust the bot lane duo, but that the line between strength and weakness among top players is actually very blurred, because there are too many factors that affect strength.

State, mood, hand feeling... No matter what the reason is, it can affect the player's ability to play.

In the past few times, Yezi was in good form and kept playing against Uzi, but before the game, it was difficult to determine the status of both sides.

That's why Abramovich asked this question, wanting to know about the player's situation from the player himself.

Hearing this, Yezi and Meikou looked at each other and said with a smile: "They have no chance."

Hearing this answer, Abu and Nofe immediately put their hearts in their stomachs.

Both Yezi and Meikou are not the kind of big talkers. Now that they say it like this, there must be no problem in their state.

Thinking of this, Abramovich quietly increased EDG's odds.

After the explanation, Abramovich did not bother the players to train again.

But before leaving, Abu still told: "It's only a few days before the final, I hope you don't relax..."

Speaking of this, Abramovich suddenly thought of another thing and said: "Tomorrow is the qualifier for the bubbling match between IG and WE. Let's watch it together."

Now the situation of LPL has basically been determined. EDG and RNG compete for the championship and who is the No. 5 seed and No. [-] seed, while IG and WE are playing the last BO[-] to compete for the eligibility for the bubbling match.

Whoever can win the BO5 will be able to participate in the bubbling competition and strive for the third place in the World Championship.

Therefore, tomorrow IG and WE will definitely use their strength to fight the game.

Under normal circumstances, the big teams will pay attention to the game, learn from the strengths of the two teams, and at the same time deeply study the data of the team's style, common tactics, hero pool, etc.

At that time, when we meet the other party, there will be more data for reference.

After speaking, Abu and Nofe left hand in hand.

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Yezi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Before I knew it, it had been almost a year since I came to EDG.

In this year, he himself has changed a lot.

From an indifferent attitude towards career at the beginning to now becoming the mainstay of the team, his mentality has been quietly changing.

At this time, Yeates could no longer play the game without any burden like in the beginning.

Because EDG needs him, and his teammates also need him... Every operation and every decision of his will affect the team.

He's really afraid... that one day the team will lose the game because of his personal mistakes.

Thinking of that kind of result, Yates felt as if his heart was being pressed down by a boulder, extremely heavy.

It’s okay to lose in the Summer Split, but what about the World Championship?Group stage, quarter-finals, quarter-finals, finals...

After so many games, can he really guarantee that he will not make a single mistake?

Mentality is often the most difficult to maintain.

Even though the two Yeates were human beings, they still inevitably encountered this kind of psychological dilemma.

In other words, this is a process that every professional player must go through.

Walking out of the training room, Yates came to the window and looked out the window.

"What are you thinking about?"

Behind him, the director's voice came.

"No..." Yates didn't turn his head: "I just want to come out and have a look."

The factory manager came to Yezi's side and looked out the window as well.

"Yezi, your expression has already betrayed you."

"Is it so obvious?" The corner of Yezi's mouth twitched: "Besides, you have been peeping at me, so you can't be secretly in love with me, right?"

"Fuck off! My girlfriend is a college student, college student, understand?"

After finishing speaking, the factory manager and Ye Zi both laughed.

It's no secret that the factory director has a girlfriend in EDG, even outsiders know about it, but unlike other wives, the factory director's girlfriend has always been relatively low-key.

After a while, the factory manager's smile gradually disappeared, and he said in a deep voice, "Yezi, I know you are under a lot of pressure now."

Yezi shook his head, and was about to say something, but the factory manager didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued: "As a rookie, you have done well enough.

But the situation of EDG is like this. Being a C position in EDG is destined to bear greater pressure.

I'm sorry, but there's not much I can do for you. "

Speaking of this, the factory manager couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart, no one knew his current state better than him.

Compared with his peak period, he is now a second-rate jungler. If it is not for his rich experience in the game, the team still needs him to command, and the unwillingness to give up his dream in his heart, he will not even choose to continue playing. Opportunities are reserved for newcomers.

But the current EDG...he can't let go yet.

"Qijiang..." Ye Zi sighed, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to play well. If I lose the game then... Sigh."

The more consecutive victories, the more afraid of losing.

However, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. How can a team win forever?

The factory manager can fully understand Ye Zi's mood, because he also had the same emotion as Ye Zi back then.

"leaf."

"Huh?" Ye Zi turned to look at the factory manager, slightly taken aback.

I saw that the factory manager showed an old father's smile, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Let go and fight, me, Meikou and everyone in EDG will stand behind you.

As long as you try your best not to regret, what does it matter if you lose?
In other words, what's the fun in esports if you know the outcome before you do it? "

Yezi was shocked, and only felt a sense of enlightenment.

Yes, there is no eternal victorious general, only eternal self-improvement. This is an extremely classic saying in the field of e-sports.

At this moment, he found that he had a deeper understanding of this passage.

There are so many teams and so many players, but there is only one champion. Even if it is as strong as Uzi, it has not won a championship in six years. If it is as strong as rookie, it can only stay in IG as the dean.

And as a rookie, how lucky he was to qualify for the World Championship in his first year of debut?
It is gratifying to be able to win the championship, but if you think about it from another angle, isn’t the process of chasing the championship a kind of life experience?

Thinking of this, Yates took a deep breath, and his eyes once again glowed with determination.

Seeing this scene, the factory manager quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yates is too important to EDG and has become an indispensable member of EDG. If there is a problem with Yates' mentality now, it will definitely be the most fatal blow to EDG.

"Looking at you like this, you have already figured it out."

Yezi nodded, and then said, "Qijiang, I still have a question that I don't quite understand."

"Huh? You said."

Ye Zi glanced at the factory manager and said, "Since you see it so clearly, why are you so cowardly in the game?"

cowardly?
The factory manager was stunned.

The next moment, his face darkened.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yates disappeared in a flash, running faster than a rabbit.

"This guy……"

Looking at Ye Zi's back, the factory manager couldn't help laughing, and murmured: "I won't be cowardly this year."

……

The next day.

Since receiving the enlightenment from the factory manager, Yezi's state has completely reached its peak.

In the training match, EDG showed amazing dominance in the bottom lane.

Even, the news of EDG's invincibility in the training match has spread to the outside world, but the RNG club is another situation.

"What about them?"

In the RNG team, Brother Feng looked at the training room with few people, and couldn't help frowning.

The battle is imminent, but the players haven't stepped up their training yet?
Glancing at the team leader, Brother Feng said in a deep voice, "What's the situation with them?"

The team leader hesitated to speak.

"Say!"

Seeing the team leader's expression, Brother Feng already had a premonition that something was wrong. Apart from being the RNG coach, he was also the RNG management team, so it was impossible for him to keep an eye on the players all the time.

Originally thought that the team members would not do anything too extreme, but now it seems... the situation is different from what he thought.

The team leader also knew that it was impossible to hide it, so he simply said: "The team members are not very motivated to train, and they have been playing other games recently..."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Brother Feng couldn't help feeling a little angry. Just when he was about to fight EDG, the team members unexpectedly...

Moreover, he has already received rumors that the EDG training match is almost unbeatable, especially the bottom lane duo, who can basically break the line every time.

Comparing with other players, and then comparing with his own players, a sense of powerlessness quietly appeared in Feng Ge's heart.

"Call them all over here."

For a moment, Brother Feng took a deep breath, and his tone became calm again.

"Brother Feng..."

"I told you to call me over!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Seeing that Brother Feng was in a bad mood, the team leader didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly called someone to go.

Not long after, several RNG team members came over with sleepy eyes, muttering something like "didn't wake up".

Seeing this, a touch of disappointment flashed in Feng Ge's eyes. He originally wanted to scold him angrily, but in the end he just let out a long sigh.

……

Regardless of the status of the two teams, today's highlight is not the two teams, but the qualifying match between IG and WE.

WE and IG are both ancient giants, and their performance has been tepid in recent years.

It can be said that this S7 is an opportunity for the two teams to break through themselves.

Whoever can win this game will be able to enter the World Championship.

For this game, the two teams are gearing up for the competition. The fans of the two teams are extremely nervous, and they all hope that their teams can go to the World Championship.

Not only the audience, but also the major teams are also paying attention to the games of the two teams, including EDG.

training room.

Everyone gathered in front of the big screen.

On the screen, it was the match between IG and WE.

Abu: "Yezi, what do you think?"

I will sit and watch...

Yezi was speechless, wondering what kind of stupid question you are asking, but he also knew what Abu meant, so he said, "Both have chances, but I think WE has a better chance.

The WE players are in very good condition and have no obvious shortcomings. However, the gap between IG's bottom lane and WE's bottom lane is too large, and it is easy to be torn apart by WE.

But it's hard to say, IG's style is more radical, if they succeed recklessly, WE is likely to be beaten. "

Abramovich nodded, Yezi's analysis was more pertinent, and the coaching staff also felt that WE had a better chance of winning the game.

While chatting, the game has already started on the screen.

In the first game, Rookie took out the black technology Yasuo, combined with the multiple blows of the barrel, the big bug, and the bull's head, and played an unexpected effect, and finally successfully won the first game.

In the second round, King Ning took out the black technology Kayn, but unfortunately, WE came up with a double-shooter lineup and successfully won the game through a team battle in the later stage.

The two sides are one to one.

"Both teams have prepared a lot." Abramovich: "In terms of strength, WE's overall strength is stronger than IG."

Yates: "WE's team fighting ability is too strong. Now IG has come up with two big axes. If there is no other hole card, it feels more and more difficult to play."

In the third game, IG gave the WE Xialuo combination. At the same time, Nakano chose a lineup with full rhythm in the early stage, but no surprise, the bottom lane was completely suppressed and became a breakthrough.

WE and IG score: 2:1.

In the fourth round, IG took out the mouse + Luo in the bottom lane, Rookie took out the signature Syndra, and WE chose Karma's four-guaranteed and one-team battle lineup in the middle.

But in this round Rookie's Syndra played bravely and completed a counter-kill against Xiye, which did not give WE a chance to survive until the later stage.

2:2, the two sides came to the tiebreaker.

The battle song sounded.

At the beginning of the fifth round, the players of the two teams were also surprisingly nervous. It could be seen from the player's headshots that the players looked serious and communicated frantically within the team.

In this game, WE put Xialuo to IG's bottom lane, and once again selected a double shooter system, while IG got Xialuo in the bottom lane, and the upper middle field took a set of Kenan, Olaf + Syndra Strong in the middle field.

It can be said that the selection of players on both sides is completely in line with the styles of the two teams, and it is also their best bottom-of-the-box lineup.

In the early stage, IG once suppressed WE, but when the plane and the small cannon took shape, IG was defeated in a wave of team battles, and the game was ended by a wave of WE.

"Congratulations to WE, you won the game and got the ticket for the bubbling match."

"Congratulations WE!"

On the stage, the passionate voice of the commentary sounded, but when the camera showed Rookie, everyone was silent.

I saw Rookie in the camera lying on the table, weeping uncontrollably.

This scene, even the commentary was extremely sad: "Unfortunately, IG lost to WE in this BO5, and it stopped here.

But everyone has seen the performance of the IG players. I hope that IG will continue to work hard next year. Audience friends, please give the applause to the IG guys, please? "

clap clap clap!
There was prolonged applause from the audience.

At this time, within the EDG team.

Abu glanced at every player present, and said slowly: "The final is up to you, come on!"
