Chapter 237 The result of the lottery, a cruel choice

With the end of the group stage, the tense atmosphere of the World Championship also came to an end.

There is still a period of time before the knockout round. During this period, the major teams can make adjustments according to their own team's performance in the group stage.

This is a test of the team's ability to adjust. Some teams can go to the next level in a short period of time, while some teams will stand still.

Especially for teams with good results in the group stage, it is easy to get lost in the glory of the group stage.

EDG is also facing this test now.

The terrifying record of six consecutive victories has made the outside world's evaluation of EDG reach its peak.

Whether it is external media or domestic media, EDG is far more popular than other teams, and it is on the hot searches of major software.

Even, many outsiders have also started to dream of linkage with EDG.

The popularity was so high that countless teams were jealous.

Among them, Yates became famous directly.

In the past, others called him God Z just as a joke, but now, God Z has become Yates' exclusive nickname.

"SKT swim back quickly, the bottom lane hits like shit."

"This year's LPL is really too strong."

"omg, has our LCK division lost its dominance?"

"Why does LPL have such BT shooters?"

"Hey, teammates really... drag Faker down."

EDG temporary base.

At the moment, the players are watching the LCK forum.

After seeing all kinds of wailing from LCK netizens, everyone present couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, LCK also sprayed."

"It's comfortable, brothers."

"One thing to say, I feel that this year's SKT is not very strong."

"Indeed, we played two rounds with them. Although it wasn't crushing, there was no pressure."

The team members said what they said to each other. Looking back on the situation in the group stage, there is more than one word to describe it.

He was crazily suppressed by the LCK team a few years ago, but now he has finally turned around, making the players unable to control their emotions at all.

Only Yates was not as optimistic as the other players.

He knew that although the situation of the LPL team in the group stage was perfect, the draw for the knockout round was also a miracle.

However, it turned out to be a civil war in the Bird's Nest LCK.

What does this mean?It shows that the strength of the LCK team will not stay in the group stage, but will grow as the game progresses.

Otherwise, how could Samsung, who was educated by RNG in the group stage, win the final championship?
If you take it lightly at this time, the final result may not be too good.

However, Yeates did not express his inner worries.

Everything will be discussed after the lottery is drawn.

If they meet Samsung, then they really have to be careful. If they meet the other two teams, it doesn't matter.

……

In the blink of an eye, the day of the lottery finally arrived.

The LPL sent over to draw lots is icon.

Icon is the omg mid laner, with a handsome image and a well-proportioned figure.

The lottery site.

At this moment, everyone is paying attention to the draw ceremony.

Whether a good lottery can be drawn is very important to LPL.

Although the group qualifying avoided a civil war, if the quarterfinals can avoid the LCK team, that is obviously the result everyone wants to see.

"a little nervous."

"I'd like to trade my roommate's ten-year lifespan for a good one."

"The one in front, you sacrificed your roommate, why didn't you just change the champion?"

"There is nothing to pray for in the lottery. In my opinion, it is the same to fight anyone. If you want to win the championship, you have to fight all the way."

"Indeed, those who are afraid of this and that will only be afraid if they have no strength."

"This year's EDG feels that it is worthwhile to meet anyone, and WE and RNG are not vegetarians."

The lottery has not yet started, and the live broadcast room has already started sending barrage.

Inside the venue, Icon itself was also quite nervous.

When the host announced that icon was on stage, icon tidied up his small suit, forced a smile and walked up to the stage.

Standing in front of the stage, Icon glanced around, and then looked at the cardboard box in his hand.

There is a note with the team in it. In a sense, the fate of the LPL team is partly in the hands of icon.

Icon took a deep breath and put his hand deep into the cardboard box.

At this moment, everyone looked at Icon's hands extremely nervously, except for one person, and that was Yates.

"Huh? Icon's hand is quite pretty, I didn't notice it before..."

In the EDG team, everyone present was extremely speechless when they heard that Yates still said these things at a time like this.

"Yezi, you..." Abu: "At such a solemn moment, please be more serious."

"If it's a big deal, let's fight Samsung." The factory manager: "If RNG can fight, we can definitely fight."

"That's true." Abu nodded, in fact, Samsung is the same in their opinion.

The reason why I am more afraid is just because Samsung is an LCK team.

The current Samsung is no better than the peak, the peak period of the Samsung is called strong, and even the outside world has been rumored that the stars will never leave, and they will always win the championship.

The reason, of course, is that Samsung was really too strong back then, and it was the only team that broke through all the teams in the World Championship.

"But I still hope that the knockout round will be easier."

Yezi understands what Abramovich means, and what Abramovich wants to meet most is MSF. In this way, EDG can also win the semi-finals with a guarantee.

Even if they lose in the next game, EDG can be regarded as breaking the team history and breaking the limit, and there are reasons to refute being hacked.

Yezi felt that Abramovich's thinking was a little naive... But anyone who can enter the knockout round must have two brushes.

Just like the MSF team that Abramovich looked down upon, they almost overturned SKT in the knockout round.

Therefore, for EDG in this draw, the real good draw is the FNC team.

Ou Cheng's strength is far less than his fame. If he meets Ou Cheng, Ye Zi will let him experience what cruelty is.

With different thoughts, icon took out a note from the cardboard box and unfolded it.

"MSF!"

After seeing the results of the lottery, everyone couldn't help cheering.

"Hahaha! MSF!"

Abu had the happiest smile.

What is MSF, why should we fight EDG?

Several other EDG players were also full of smiles, wishing they could directly open champagne to celebrate.

Barrage--

"How EDG lost, I want to write a book."

"This year's EDG is no longer in the top eight, it really can't be justified."

"God favors EDG."

"MSF, tut tut."

The result of this lottery is undoubtedly satisfactory.

Soon, the results of all the battles between the teams appeared.

The knockout round is divided into upper and lower halves.

The half-districts will fight each other first to compete for the strongest team, and the last two teams will compete for the championship.

The competition system can only be said to be...reasonable.

Teams in the upper half: RNG vs. FNC, SKT vs. LZ.

Teams in the second half: EDG vs. MSF, WE vs. Samsung.

"Only WE is being beaten."

"We beat Samsung... I don't know if we can beat it."

"Trust WE."

After seeing the final result, the outside world fell into heated discussions.

Needless to say, RNG and EDG, the opponents of the two teams are not particularly strong, only WE was recruited and drew Samsung as their opponent.

Seeing the result of the lottery, Yezi frowned. He hadn't expected that after SKT's No. [-] qualifying, it would be WE who had the greatest impact.

WE may still have a chance of winning against SKT, but against Samsung... the result may not be too good.

But then again, although Samsung is difficult to play, EDG can be regarded as a good sign.

At this point, the lottery is over.

The next day, the result of the lottery directly aroused heated discussions across the Internet. Many people felt sorry for WE, but some comforted WE.

"WE is a good sign. Why is it called a good sign? If WE can play Samsung's stuff, then no matter whether EDG wins the championship or RNG wins the championship, WE will have one-third of the credit."

When Yates saw this passage, he almost burst out laughing.

No matter in which time and space, it can only be said that classics will never go out of date.

……

Rest time.

Yates started the live broadcast and played Rank to keep his hand.

The moment he started broadcasting, the popularity of the live broadcast immediately exploded.

"The return of the missing!"

"My god Z, you played well."

"Invincible! AD only obeys God Z."

"You are the man who added C to AD."

Countless barrages spewed out like spring water, Ye Zi glanced at the VIP seats, there were already [-], and the number was still rising rapidly.

This terrifying popularity surprised Yezi himself.

"An ordinary LPL game is nothing more than that, not even as popular as my live broadcast."

Seeing this scene, Yates realized that his current size might be even scarier than he imagined.

What is it like to be stared at by tens of thousands of people?
Fortunately, it is the Internet. If tens of thousands of people are watching at the same time in reality, Yates feels like he will suffocate.

However, Yezi has seen countless older people now. After sorting out his emotions, he said with a smile: "Everyone thinks so highly of me? If you speak nicely, just say more."

"Hahaha!"

"God Z has started, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you say today?"

"Is EDG playing MSF casually?"

Looking at the barrage, the audience is most concerned about the status of the EDG team.

Although everyone thinks that EDG will play MSF casually, but if Yezi can say it himself, it will undoubtedly be more convincing.

"You're talking about MSF." Yates said, "There's something about this team..."

"Ok?"

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Ye Zi to answer this way, shouldn't they say random killing?
"Don't do it, you can't even beat MSF, then I really can't accept it."

"Don't be in a hurry." Seeing that the barrage was almost hanging, Ye Zi said slowly: "There are some things, but not many, let's hit them easily."

"666!"

"mad!"

"It has to be like this, this is the God Z I know."

"I can't think of how to lose, lose msf and suggest disbanding directly..."

Obviously, the audience absolutely cannot accept EDG's loss to the MSF team. Realizing this, Yezi's eyes flickered.

If you look at it this way, EDG is under a lot of pressure, and I'm afraid it won't be easy if you really lose.

But after thinking about it, if they really can lose even msf, it's okay to be scolded.

This year, EDG has taken advantage of the right time, place and people. If there is no result, then it is really not a problem of other things, but a problem of people.

"I can only say don't panic." Yates: "When the time comes, watch the anchor perform on the field and it will be over."

"Two high-end rounds today may be a bit boring, so let's just wait and see."

After speaking, Yezi didn't look at the barrage directly, and concentrated on playing the game.

It is good that the World Championship can be broadcast live. Naturally, it is impossible to give the audience the same effect as usual.

The audience understood this, as long as there is a result in the World Championship, Yezzi can do whatever.

In this way, Yates played rank for a day, with a winning rate of over 80%.

Yates was quite satisfied with this result.

It doesn't matter whether they are divided or not, the main thing is to keep the feel.

"That's all for today's live broadcast, see you next time."

After speaking, Yezi decisively turned off the live broadcast.

As soon as it was broadcast, Yezi couldn't help complaining: "What are you doing, coach, you're delaying me from picking up money."

"..."

On the side, Abu was a little speechless, what time is it, why is he always thinking about the money for the live broadcast.

"How many gifts can live broadcasting have?"

"Look for yourself." Yezi showed off his gift income.

When Abu saw it, his eyes widened immediately: "Fuck! So many?"

Seeing Abu's reaction, Yezi couldn't help but feel a little proud: "It's so-so, less than a million."

I still want a million... how long have you been broadcasting?

Abu is numb.

Although I know that there are many rich people on the Internet, it is still a bit scary to spend money like this.

Yates is not surprised, EDG's performance is so good, he is naturally one of the core.

Many people are waiting for him to start broadcasting to give him gifts, so this gift seems to be a day's income, but it is actually accumulated over a period of time.

If Yeates continues to broadcast, it is naturally impossible to have such a high gift income.

Moreover, most of these gifts are swiped by one person, that is... a gentleman is poor.

Nearly a million gifts, he swiped hundreds of thousands by himself.

"A gentleman is poor? What do you mean?"

Yates squinted his eyes, not too happy in his heart, but a little vigilant.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Yates has always believed that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

He didn't have much contact with Junzi Guqiong, but Junzi Guqiong gave him so many gifts at once. Even if the boss is really rich, there must be a reason.

He wouldn't be surprised if this gift appeared on the list of female anchors, but...

Could it be that this person wants to give it to him once?
Thinking of this possibility, a chill couldn't help rising from Yezi's heart.

This money is not easy to take.

"Leaf, what are you thinking?"

Just when Yezi was thinking wildly, Abu interrupted his imagination.

"Ah." Yezi came back to his senses, turned to Abu and asked, "Coach, what's the matter?"

"Of course there is something to do." Abu took a deep breath: "Wait for everyone to come over and talk about it together."

Not long after, the crowd gathered together.

Abramovich's first sentence made mouse's complexion change: "The next game will be discussed by the coaching staff, and Zoom will start the game."

As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the team.

Yates sighed silently.

In fact, everyone has already expected this scene.

After all, it is the world championship, even if mouse works hard, but his strength is not as good as zoom, everything is empty talk.

E-sports, food is the original sin.

For a moment, the light in the mouse's eyes lost its light, and the eye sockets were reddish.

The factory manager couldn't bear it and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He knew, and everyone knew, that this choice was cruel, but it was the best choice for EDG.

Abu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and comforted: "Take a break for a while, and you can observe your opponents more in the audience. You are the killer of our team."

Mouse didn't speak.

Abramovich's words are also deceiving children. In the absence of training games, even if Zoom does not perform well, the team cannot let him play.

When the meeting ended, mouse didn't know how he got out.

At the door, Yates has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the appearance of mouse, Yezi's eyes fell on mouse: "Let's talk?"

Mouse looked up at Yates, was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
