Professional anchor, part-time occupation
Chapter 254 Unite as one, the semi-finals begin!
EDG has been going smoothly all the way, and they have long been accustomed to an ordinary victory.
On the other hand, the atmosphere of the Rabbit team seemed a little depressing.
When the EDG players came to shake hands, the Rabbit team hadn't reacted yet.
After being reminded, the members of the rabbit team stood up.
It was not easy to reach the top eight, but who knew that they would meet such a powerful EDG.
Stopping here will always lead to loss and regret.
Looking at Yezi who was walking in the front, several people showed a helpless wry smile on their faces.
Especially recalling Yezi's performance in the game just now, the five members of the Rabbit team immediately felt relieved.
"Okay, audience, we can see that the players of EDG are shaking hands with the players of MSF. MSF has really tried their best in this game. Thank you for the wonderful performances from both sides. However, the opponents of EDG in the next match will be between we and Born in SSG, Hao Kai, what do you think?"
"As the commentator of LPL, I certainly hope that WE and EDG can join forces in the semi-finals of the semi-finals, but the strength of SSG should not be underestimated. It's really hard to say who will win!"
"Indeed! No matter which of these two teams wins, it is possible to win, but I believe that no matter which team they face, edg can only maintain its state and continue today's outstanding performance, and the hope of advancing to the finals will be great."
"This is what I want to say, especially after seeing God Z's wonderful performance today, I think every team that wants to win the championship is worrying about how to limit God Z?"
"It's not just God Z, the other members of EDG also played very well. This EDG team broke through the curse of many years and successfully broke through to the top eight. Now EDG is the favorite to win the championship!"
"Just now there was news from the backstage that the mvp candidate for this game has been announced. The audience friends asked us to say his name out loud—God Z!"
The data panel of Yates quickly jumped out on the big screen. In this game, Yates was once again a perfect kda of immortality.
Regardless of the percentage of damage or the cost of last hits, they both lead the audience, and some spectators who stayed at the scene and have not yet left frantically shouted Yezi's name.
"In the previous games, many viewers had different opinions on the selection of mvp, but I don't think anyone will question the gold content of this mvp today, right?"
"Of course! God Z's performance is impeccable. Of course, the sister who is also in the bottom lane duo also contributed a lot. These two people are undoubtedly the best bottom lane duo in this World Championship. Below are Ask our host Yu Shuang to bring us a post-match interview with God Z!"
The scene turned to the big stage, the host Yu Shuang was smiling, and Ye Zi, who was standing beside her, looked quite calm.
"Hello, audience friends. I am the host Yu Shuang. After today's match, I will be interviewing EDG's ad player God Z. Next, let God Z say hello to everyone!"
Yates has long been familiar with post-match interviews, and waved his hand at the camera with a faint smile.
"Hi everyone, I'm edg's ad player Z."
As soon as Yates finished introducing himself, the audience burst into cheers.
It seems that today's victory really made them very excited, and they have not left the field until now.
Many spectators who left the venue came back after seeing that the subject of the interview was Yates, which shows how popular Yates is.
...
Yu Shuang smiled at Ye Zi at this time: "God Z, you won today's game without much pressure, did you expect to win so smoothly before the game? And how do you evaluate your matchup?" Where's the player Hans Same?"
"We will go all out and take every match seriously with every opponent. The reason why today's game can go so smoothly has a lot to do with the full preparation of the coaching staff and teammates. We played our due It’s not surprising that he won easily because of his strength, but as for the opponent’s AD player, I personally admire his operation and courage, maybe he’s a little bit unlucky today?”
"Wow! It seems that God Z is really confident and humble! Today you chose the mouse to win a perfect kda of immortality, and you even ended up with five kills at the end. What do you think?"
"The mouse hero needs to develop in the early stage. I thank my teammates for their help and support. Of course, I also played a corresponding role after equipping it. As for the pentakill, it can only be said that the opponent gave a chance? I personally don't know. For pentakills, winning the game is always the most important thing, of course, if there is a chance to get pentakills, I will not let it go."
Yates' answer was impeccable, and the audience cheered again.
The smile on Yu Shuang's face was even wider, and he asked the last question after the audience's cheers stopped.
"God Z, after winning today, you have successfully broken through to the quarterfinals, and the opponents in the next match will be between WE and SSG. Can you please make a prediction for the results of the match between these two teams?"
Hearing this question, Yates couldn't help frowning.
Judging from the current public opinion outside the arena, the strength of these two teams should be about the same.
But Yezi knew very well in his heart that in that world, ssg was the world champion in s7.
The true strength of ssg is far from being as simple as it is shown now. It is far more difficult for us to defeat ssg than imagined.
Yates hesitated for a moment and said: "We and SSG are both very strong. If I have to make a prediction, I personally hope that our good brother team WE can win."
"Okay! I believe Team We will definitely bring your blessings and join EDG in the semi-finals. Thank God Z for accepting our interview. Goodbye everyone!"
After the post-match interview, Yates returned to the backstage lounge.
"God Z, have you finished the interview? Come and see that we are on the hot search again!"
As soon as Yezi came back, his sister pulled him over and handed the phone to Yezi.
He looked down and saw that Weibo hot search was displayed on the phone. Just a few minutes after the competition ended, the news that edg had advanced to the semi-finals became the top ten most searched.
Yezi usually doesn't know much about these off-court things, and most of the audience actually don't have a deep understanding of the game.
As the saying goes, if you win, you blow up and you lose. The logic of the audience is simple and crude, but it is also very effective.
Although this set is a bit cruel, Yates doesn't dislike it. E-sports food is the original sin, and there is pressure to be motivated.
"This Weibo is still considered good. Take a look at the rating post on the post bar, but it made me laugh so hard!"
...
At this time, the factory manager also came over with his mobile phone, and what was displayed on the screen was the famous anti-stress bar.
This anti-stress bar is known as the post bar toilet, where you can feel the most extreme language art. Of course, people with poor psychological endurance are not recommended to browse the anti-stress bar.
"God Z is my father, father, come on, son loves you!"
"If edg can win the championship, I will go right away, God Z, you wait for me and I will marry you!"
Just a few minutes after the post was published, the number of replies will soon exceed [-].
Seeing all kinds of weird comments from the bar friends, Yezi was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, edg won the game today, if it loses, the comments from friends will immediately be another style of painting.
"The Post Bar Weibo you read is pretty good. Although the speeches of netizens are sometimes destructive to the three views, they are at least acceptable. The really outrageous are those unscrupulous marketing accounts. Look at this title. Did it come out?"
The top laner mouse also came over, and Yates looked curiously at the phone in his hand.
A huge title instantly came into view—shocked! Z God is suspected to be a robot, with perfect reaction and calculation ability, it is definitely not a normal human being!
Yates is even more dumbfounded now, but with the blessing of his own system, it is not impossible to say that he is a robot.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a while. Although we won the game today, we can't let our guard down. We still have two most crucial BO5 games to play. Only by winning these two games can you relax!"
Just when the players were relaxed and happy, a stern voice sounded.
Turning around, the manager Abramovich and coach Nofe were looking at them seriously.
The team members quickly put away their phones and sat down in their seats.
Abramovich took the lead and said: "Everyone performed very well today, but some problems were exposed during the game. Let Coach Nofe come and talk to you."
"In today's game, everyone did a good job in laning, especially the bottom lane was perfect in snowballing the lane after gaining an advantage, but there is one serious problem, that is, the lack of vision!"
When nofe said this, Yezi immediately remembered the wave of being four-packed and two-packed in the bottom lane.
Although the wave of four guarantees and two guarantees was successfully resolved by Yezi relying on his calmness and strong operational ability, it was indeed a potential hidden danger.
If the details on the opposite side can be done better, and if there are some mistakes on one side, then the final result may be different.
For the average team, this might just be a trivial hiccup.
But for the current edg team whose goal is to become the world champion, any slight hidden danger must be eliminated as much as possible.
The other team members obviously thought of this too, and everyone's expressions became serious.
"We still have a training match to play later, and I hope you can improve on the problem of vision!"
Just after winning the game, there will be a training match, but none of the players complained.
After being reminded by coach nofe, the vision problem of the players has been greatly improved this time.
In the next few days, the other games between the top eight are also in full swing.
...
"God Z, who do you like in today's match between rng and fnc?"
"Does it need to be said? This is the AD version, how could Uzi lose in RNG?"
Yezi didn't even have any interest in watching the match between rng and fnc. Unless rng made a huge mistake, it was impossible for fnc to win.
As expected, rng directly took away fnc with a score of [-] to [-].
After the rng game came the Korean civil war between skt and lz.
Because it is a Korean civil war, the speed of this game is not too high. After so many years, the big devil faker still maintains a very high level of competition.
Although lz is a dark horse of lck, it still can't take much advantage in front of the experienced skt.
In the end, the two sides played five rounds, and skt advanced to the semi-finals with a score of [-] to [-].
The last game is the highest speed we vs ssg.
In theory, the strength gap between the two sides was the smallest in this game, and it was a classic Sino-Korean battle, which attracted many people.
More importantly, the winner of this game will become EDG's opponent in the next game.
Therefore, the whole EDG team came to the scene and prepared to watch the game.
edg and his team came to the viewing room dedicated to the backstage players, and happened to meet everyone in we.
"Hey! Isn't this God Z? You guys are still here to watch the battle in person today?"
Xiye greeted Yezi with a smile, the players from the lpl and competition area were fairly familiar with each other.
Ye Zi laughed and said: "You may be our opponents in the next round, of course you have to come and observe it carefully, and don't embarrass us in the LPL competition after the meeting!"
Xiye's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he glanced at the brother-in-law of the ad player behind him.
Ye Zi followed Xi Ye's line of sight, and saw his brother-in-law's face turned pale and looked very haggard.
"What's the matter, brother-in-law? Shouldn't you be sick?"
"Unfortunately, I caught a cold before the game, and now I have a little fever, but I will insist on finishing the game!"
My brother-in-law speaks quite standard Chinese as a Korean aid, so he forced a smile at this time.
Everyone looked worried when they heard this.
This cold is just a minor illness for ordinary people, just take some medicine and rest for a while.
But for professional players, a tiny detail may affect the result of a normal game.
At this time, catching a cold is tantamount to a huge hidden danger.
"Don't worry everyone, we will definitely defeat SSG with me here!"
At this time our jungler Di spoke.
Ye Zi looked at Di and was startled, this Di looked very tired with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
"Di, are you okay? Didn't you stay up late yesterday for training?"
"It's nothing, maybe I was too excited so I didn't sleep well, let alone we are going to play."
Watching our team members heading to the field, Yezi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yezi knows the true strength of this ssg best, originally we had little chance of winning.
Now that the team's state is so bad, I'm afraid that today's game will be more or less ominous.
Soon the game officially started, and the EDG team was also staring at the big screen.
"Oh! What's going on with our bottom lane? We were double-killed by the opponent at the beginning, and the ruler will be very difficult to fight."
"It seems that the cold and fever have indeed affected the state of my brother-in-law. The opponent's first attack just now can be dodged with a flash."
...
The thing Yezi was most worried about happened as expected. The brother-in-law who was affected by the cold completely lost his ability to show in the league.
The bottom lane was almost overwhelmingly crushed, and the audience at the scene seemed to be silenced.
"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. SSG has a huge advantage and wants to move the dragon. Now we can only look forward to grabbing the dragon with one hand."
"That's right, di has the title of the son of the dragon in our LPL competition area, and robbing dragons is his special skill. It depends on whether di can stand up and save us this time."
At this time, the two commentators also pinned their hopes on Di.
But what was surprising was that after Di entered the Dragon Pit, the opponent stopped attacking Di directly without turning his head.
It seems that ssg also had an in-depth understanding of we before the game, knowing that di has the unique skill of grabbing dragons.
Since you di want to grab the dragon, I just don't fight directly, kill your jungler first, and then take the dragon firmly.
"Hey! We're hanging on now, ssg doesn't give it a chance!"
"It doesn't matter, this is only the first round. I believe our players can adjust their state and get the score back!"
The first game ended quickly with ssg's victory, and everyone in edg was disappointed when they saw this.
If it is possible, of course everyone still hopes to have a civil war with the brother teams in their own competition area. It doesn't matter if one of them beats their own, no matter who loses.
But now it seems that ssg will win first, and the state shown in the game is far better than we.
As professional players, everyone in edg has a more accurate view of the reading ability of the game and the status of the players than the general audience.
"God Z, it seems that our opponent in the next round will probably be SSG, should we go cheer us up?"
As a well-known support "social butterfly", Meikou is naturally very concerned about the state of her competition area.
Yates shook his head and said, "Forget it, they can only make adjustments by themselves at this time. It's useless for us to talk too much in the past, and I feel that besides my brother-in-law, Di's state is also a little bit wrong."
"When you said that, I also remembered it. It seems that Di entered the Dragon Pit a little earlier. Could it be that he was also sick?"
At this moment, Yezi remembered the dark circles under his eyes when he met Di before the game. It is impossible for an experienced professional player to suffer from insomnia before the big game.
I'm afraid this kid did something shameful that affected the state of the game the next day.
With a thought in Ye Zi's mind, Di seems to be...
Could it be that this di didn't change his nature, even in the parallel world, he still did such absurd things as calling chickens before the game?
After a while, the second game started. After a short rest and adjustment, our state did not improve much.
This second game is almost a replica of the first game, with ssg relying on the bottom lane advantage to open up the situation.
Di's jungler couldn't do anything at all, only Xiye in the middle and brother leg in the top lane struggled to support them.
It's a pity that the opponent couldn't stop the rolling snowball at all, and the game was flattened in 10 minutes.
"We're in really bad shape today, and we're two games behind now. It's really too difficult to make the second chase the third."
"On the stage of the World Championship, there are only a handful of times when the second chases the third. We can only look forward to a miracle!"
The words of the two commentators revealed a sense of despair and helplessness.
...
Yezi also shook his head with a wry smile at this time, we are now on the edge of a cliff, and it is almost impossible to reverse and win.
When the third game kicked off, everything really went in the worst direction.
From the very beginning of this round, we collapsed on all three fronts. Even Xi Ye and Brother Leg, who had been supporting the team's tough resistance in the first two games, were completely out of shape.
Two consecutive defeats put too much psychological pressure on the players. This is the cruelty and the excitement of the World Championship.
It's a pity that we couldn't withstand the pressure. As the game progressed to 10 minutes, our base finally exploded under the watchful eyes of the audience.
"Let's go, let's go see our team members!"
Yates brought the EDG players to the we lounge. At this time, the WE players and the coaching team all looked disappointed, and some people's eyes were even slightly red.
Seeing this, Yezi couldn't help being very sad. As a professional player, besides enjoying the victory, he must learn to accept the defeat.
In the real world, we could have made it to the semifinals.
But now because we have changed the historical course of the parallel world, this makes it a pity that we lost to the quarterfinals of SSG.
Thinking of this, Yates felt even more uncomfortable.
"God Z, you are here, today we failed your expectations!"
Seeing Ye Zi, Xiye forced a smile, but the smile was uglier than crying.
Ye Zi raised his hand and patted Xiye's shoulder and said, "Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Besides, we are still there. SSG just won one more BO5. They don't want to go any further without us!"
"You're right! Although we lost, LPL hasn't lost yet. There is RNG in the upper half and your EDG in the lower half. With you in our LPL, there is still hope!"
Xiye seemed to be moved by Ye Zi's words, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.
The other team members of we also stepped forward at this time, hoping that edg can continue to walk with their unfinished regrets.
When WE's team members packed up their things and were about to leave, Yates hesitated for a while and called out to Di.
"God Z, is there anything else you want?"
"Di, you have dark circles under your eyes... you should take a good rest and recharge your spirits before the competition in the future."
As soon as Ye Zi said this, Di blushed immediately, and said falteringly: "I know... I know."
After finishing speaking, he took a peek at Yates, and hurriedly followed the team out.
The backs of several team members were a bit lonely, and when they passed by Ye Zi, Xi Ye turned his eyes to Ye Zi.
Looking at each other, Yates nodded slightly.
Seeing Ye Zi read out his meaning, Xiye was inexplicably relieved.
If there is an LpL team that can win the championship, EdG with Yezzy is undoubtedly the greatest hope of winning.
Looking at the backs of everyone walking away, Ye Zi couldn't help sighing.
The other edg players also expressed emotion, e-sports competitions are so cruel.
The loser can only accept the fate of leaving the stage quietly, and at this time, SSG is still enjoying flowers and applause.
Everyone in edg then returned to the temporary base.
We's defeat shocked the players a lot, and it also boosted their morale.
Abu and Nofe came to the training room at this time, and they still held a large stack of materials in their hands to distribute to everyone.
"You have also seen today's game. This is the information about SSG we just collected, and the corresponding game has also been sent to you. You will take a closer look later."
...
Looking at the thick stack of materials in front of them, the team members all showed bitter expressions.
"There are so many materials? I hated reading books when I was in school, can I not read them?"
"We also watched today's game. SSG didn't feel that it was too strong to be invincible. The main reason is that we didn't play well. I don't think there is any need to read these materials, right?"
As soon as they heard that they needed to read the materials, the team members immediately complained.
Most of these professional players did not have good grades in school, and they are all so-called Internet addicts. Reading these materials is simply a kind of torture.
Abramovich was about to speak, but Yezi said first: "We have just reached the semi-finals, have you forgotten our ultimate goal? SSG's strength is not as simple as you see, if you don't take it seriously, you may be overturned , I advise everyone to take a closer look at these materials.”
Others don't know how powerful SSG is, but Yezi knows it all too well.
Being able to win the s7 world championship in the real world, the strength of ssg should not be underestimated.
If he regretted losing because of underestimating the enemy, Yezi would never forgive himself.
Although Yezi usually has a good temper, as the strongest and most carry player in the team, his words are undoubtedly very intimidating.
Seeing Yezi, he read the materials carefully, and the other team members also picked up the materials patiently and read them.
Just as edg was seriously preparing for the next game, the public opinion outside the court became more and more fierce.
As the team with the most outstanding performance in this World Championship, EDG has become the biggest hope of LPL.
"Welcome everyone to today's preview program of the World Championships. I am Zeyuan. We invite the program guests Doll and Teacher Miller!"
"Teachers, in this year's World Championship, our LPL has two teams entering the semi-finals and they are still in different halfs. In theory, there is a possibility of meeting in the finals. I don't know what you two think?"
Wawa took the lead and said: "It's not easy to talk about rng vs. skt. In the previous world championships, the historical results of rng vs. skt were not ideal, but in the match between edg and ssg, I can say that edg's winning rate is very high!"
Miller followed suit and said: "That's right! The strength shown by edg in this world championship is simply crushing. I saw the shadow of s5skt in this edg team. Our embarrassing record of no championship in the lpl world championship is very impressive. It may end with this EDG team!"
"Oh? Are both of you so confident in EDG? Then let's take a look at the audience's voting results and see who is the most likely champion of this World Championship in the audience's mind!"
A data map quickly popped up on the screen, and the four teams were impressively listed.
What is displayed behind the team is their respective championship support rate.
EDG's support rate for winning the championship has reached a terrifying 90.00% five, even S5's SKT and S4's Samsung White have never been so exaggerated.
"Wow! edg's support rate for winning the championship has reached an astonishing 90.00%[-]. It seems that the audience in our competition area is very optimistic about edg!"
"Zeyuan, I just looked at foreign statistics. According to the calculations of several foreign data analysis websites, EDG has the lowest probability of winning the championship is above 80.00%. I can only say that this is indeed the closest to the world championship in our LPL division. Once!"
Looking at the exaggerated tone of the three commentators on the screen, the expressions of everyone in edg seemed a bit complicated at this time.
...
"It's just the semifinals that blow us up to the sky. I can't believe what we will be sprayed with if we lose!"
As the veteran of the team, especially the seniors who have experienced large-scale cyber violence like 4396, the first thing that comes to mind at this time is the possible backlash from public opinion.
You have to know that the higher you stand, the harder you fall, how fierce the audience is blowing now, and how fierce the blowing will be when you lose.
Ye Zi smiled calmly and said: "These public opinions are beyond our control. What we have to do is to try our best to play every game well. Even if we really lose, we have a clear conscience. As for how others complain, we can only bear it!"
"God Z, your mentality is really good enough, but you have always performed well, it seems that you haven't experienced a real trough, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it when it really comes!"
"Haha! Let's talk about it at that time, not to mention that the pressure brought by public opinion is after losing the game. If you want me to say that it is our opponent who is really anxious now, you said that the ssg people see others How would they react to blowing us up like this?"
In SSG's temporary base, a group of people were sitting around the big screen.
What is displayed on the big screen are all kinds of predictions and related news about this World Championship.
From time to time, there are various classic images from EDG since this World Championship.
"Xiba! Even before the match, EDG is considered the champion. What do you think of our SSG?"
"One thing to say, this time edg performed really well, almost impeccable without any loopholes."
The ones who spoke were ssg's ad player ruler and support player corejj.
Yezi's guess is indeed correct, the pressure brought by public opinion on SSG is no less than that on EDG.
Top laner Cuvee said: "Although edg is very strong, we are not without a chance. The biggest core of edg is ad. As long as we find a way to contain this, we may not have no chance of winning."
"cuvee is right. There is no team in this world that is invincible. We have finally come here and will never give up. No matter how strong EDG is, there will be flaws!"
The one who spoke this time was a man with a steady face who looked obviously older than the others.
This person is the jungler ambition of SSG, and he is also the oldest veteran in the team.
The industry of e-sports is actually a youth meal, because during the competition, there are high requirements for the player's reaction speed and thinking ability.
And these abilities will gradually degenerate with age, so many players will decline in strength and have no choice but to retire after getting old.
For an e-sports player, the golden age is 22 years old.
In this age group, both personal response and operational ability are the peak existence.
But there are always exceptions, such as the jungle ambition of the ssg in front of him.
As a player in 25, he is already [-] years old this year.
For ordinary people, 25 years old is a young age, but for an e-sports player, this age is a properly old player.
Because he is the oldest, and South Korea is a place that pays special attention to seniority, so Ambition is the captain of SSG, and his status in SSG is second only to the coach.
Seeing that Ambition said so, the other players nodded in agreement.
...
"I'm 25 years old this year, and this may be the last year of my career. It's really stressful to meet edg this time, but I hope everyone can let go of their burdens and give it a go. Even if they really lose, they must be vigorous. Regrets!"
Ambition's words were very sincere, and the other SSG players were very touched when they heard it.
"Captain, don't worry! We will definitely do our best!"
Just when EDG and SSG were fully prepared, time was slowly passing by day by day.
The day of the semi-finals is approaching, and today is the last day before the semi-finals, and players from both sides will also accept pre-match interviews.
Everyone from EDG came to the waiting area at this time, and just happened to meet a player from SSG.
Although the two sides have met before, but this is the first meeting before the semi-finals.
The eyes of each other looked at each other with a hint of gunpowder, after all, the semi-finals will be held tomorrow.
"God Z, the eyes on the other side don't seem to be afraid of us!"
"Isn't this more challenging? If the opponent gives up before the fight, the game will be much less fun!"
Yates remained calm, as if nothing could cause too much fluctuation in his heart.
Soon ssg took the lead in accepting the interview.
"Hello, player Ambition, as the oldest player in the team, do you have confidence against EDG this time?"
"EDG played very well in this World Championship. I have watched their previous games and they are very strong, but our SSG is not a weak team. I have confidence in me and my teammates!"
When everyone in edg heard these words in the background, there was a trace of respect in their eyes.
"This ambition is indeed a respectable opponent. If I am as old as him, I don't know if I can continue to play professionally."
"Don't underestimate yourself, what's so great about being old, our brother Ming Kai is not young, he is afraid of a hammer!"
The factory manager couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, his age is only one year younger than ambition, so he is considered an older player.
The next few questions are relatively simple, nothing more than some opinions on the next game.
The answers of the SSG players and coaches were quite satisfactory, but it can be seen that they were not intimidated by the powerful strength of EDG.
I still have a lot of confidence in the next game. As for whether this confidence is forced or really strong, I can only wait until the game to verify it.
After ssg finished the interview, it was finally edg's turn to take the stage for an interview.
As the EDG players entered the arena and took their seats, the reporters in the audience immediately became active, rushing to ask questions one by one.
After all, this World Championship is held in China, and most of the reporters in the audience are local Chinese reporters, and they are definitely more interested in their own team than in the Korean team.
"Hello, I would like to ask God Z, EDG's brave performance in this World Championship is almost unstoppable. There are even many voices from the outside world who believe that you are the champion of this World Championship. What do you think of you?"
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their recognition and trust in us, but any situation may happen during the game, and no one dares to guarantee the result of the game, otherwise the meaning of the game will be lost. What I can be sure of is me and my His teammates will definitely do their best to win every victory!"
...
Yeates' answer drew a round of applause.
At this time, someone asked again: "God Z, just now SSG mentioned that you are the core of this EDG team in the interview, and they will probably target you specifically in tomorrow's game, if this is the case, how will you deal with it? "
"The league is a team game of five people. I could not have performed well in the previous games without the support of my teammates. If ssg really wants to target me, then please prepare them to bear the firepower of my teammates. I believe in me Teammates won't watch me get beaten up!"
Yates suddenly showed such a humorous side that many reporters couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that there were still reporters who wanted to ask him questions, Yezi suddenly felt very distressed.
As a star player in the team, sometimes it is not a good thing to bear too much.
"My friends from the media, don't bother to ask me, my teammates and coaches have a lot to say to you!"
After Yates said this, the reporters began to ask other people questions one after another.
The content of the question was similar to the interview with ssg just now, and the team members breathed a sigh of relief after finally finishing the interview.
"The questions of these reporters are so outrageous, I feel like I can come up with a template."
"Who made us professional players? It's not easy for others to earn a living, so let's cooperate!"
The EDG players returned to the temporary base while talking and laughing.
"Tomorrow is the semi-final match. Today, everyone should rest early to adjust their condition, and they have almost prepared everything that needs to be prepared. Don't feel pressure then, just follow the normal training condition."
Abu's voice was originally motherly, but now he was nagging like an old woman.
However, the players are not impatient at all. Everyone knows how much Abramovich has paid for them as the manager.
In addition to the efforts of the players themselves, edg has been able to get to where it is today. The contribution of the coaching staff and support staff is also indispensable.
And Abramovich has been the manager of edg for several years, and everyone can see edg's dedication.
Tomorrow's game is not only for themselves, but also for those who have worked so hard behind the scenes!
Time soon came to the afternoon of the second day, and the much-anticipated semi-final match between edg and ssg was finally about to kick off.
"Hello, audience friends, I am the commentator Zeyuan!"
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm the commentator remember!"
At this time, two commentators appeared on the big screen.
There is still half an hour before the start of the game, and during this time two commentators will give some basic introductions.
"I have been looking forward to today's game a few days ago, but I have counted the past few days, and now I have finally waited for this moment."
"That's right! Today's game will be played by EDG from our lpl division against SSG from South Korea. I believe the audience has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Over the past few years, the South Korean division has always been like a shadow over our lpl division, but this year's edg's outstanding performance gave us hope. This edg team is like a ray of sunshine piercing through the thick smog, giving us hope !"
"Well said! This ray of sunshine has melted the cold hearts of countless fans in our competition area, but this piece of ice is too big. To completely melt it, edg needs to go further. It depends on whether today's edg can continue They did a great job.”
With the narration of the two commentators, no matter the audience at the scene or in front of the computer screen, they all felt the excitement in their hearts.
Any old LPL fan will never forget the various humiliations that the LPL Division has experienced in the World Championships.
LPL really needs a world champion to sweep away the haze, and EDG is the team closest to this glory.
As long as they win this bo5, edg will be eligible to touch the final glory!
On the other hand, the atmosphere of the Rabbit team seemed a little depressing.
When the EDG players came to shake hands, the Rabbit team hadn't reacted yet.
After being reminded, the members of the rabbit team stood up.
It was not easy to reach the top eight, but who knew that they would meet such a powerful EDG.
Stopping here will always lead to loss and regret.
Looking at Yezi who was walking in the front, several people showed a helpless wry smile on their faces.
Especially recalling Yezi's performance in the game just now, the five members of the Rabbit team immediately felt relieved.
"Okay, audience, we can see that the players of EDG are shaking hands with the players of MSF. MSF has really tried their best in this game. Thank you for the wonderful performances from both sides. However, the opponents of EDG in the next match will be between we and Born in SSG, Hao Kai, what do you think?"
"As the commentator of LPL, I certainly hope that WE and EDG can join forces in the semi-finals of the semi-finals, but the strength of SSG should not be underestimated. It's really hard to say who will win!"
"Indeed! No matter which of these two teams wins, it is possible to win, but I believe that no matter which team they face, edg can only maintain its state and continue today's outstanding performance, and the hope of advancing to the finals will be great."
"This is what I want to say, especially after seeing God Z's wonderful performance today, I think every team that wants to win the championship is worrying about how to limit God Z?"
"It's not just God Z, the other members of EDG also played very well. This EDG team broke through the curse of many years and successfully broke through to the top eight. Now EDG is the favorite to win the championship!"
"Just now there was news from the backstage that the mvp candidate for this game has been announced. The audience friends asked us to say his name out loud—God Z!"
The data panel of Yates quickly jumped out on the big screen. In this game, Yates was once again a perfect kda of immortality.
Regardless of the percentage of damage or the cost of last hits, they both lead the audience, and some spectators who stayed at the scene and have not yet left frantically shouted Yezi's name.
"In the previous games, many viewers had different opinions on the selection of mvp, but I don't think anyone will question the gold content of this mvp today, right?"
"Of course! God Z's performance is impeccable. Of course, the sister who is also in the bottom lane duo also contributed a lot. These two people are undoubtedly the best bottom lane duo in this World Championship. Below are Ask our host Yu Shuang to bring us a post-match interview with God Z!"
The scene turned to the big stage, the host Yu Shuang was smiling, and Ye Zi, who was standing beside her, looked quite calm.
"Hello, audience friends. I am the host Yu Shuang. After today's match, I will be interviewing EDG's ad player God Z. Next, let God Z say hello to everyone!"
Yates has long been familiar with post-match interviews, and waved his hand at the camera with a faint smile.
"Hi everyone, I'm edg's ad player Z."
As soon as Yates finished introducing himself, the audience burst into cheers.
It seems that today's victory really made them very excited, and they have not left the field until now.
Many spectators who left the venue came back after seeing that the subject of the interview was Yates, which shows how popular Yates is.
...
Yu Shuang smiled at Ye Zi at this time: "God Z, you won today's game without much pressure, did you expect to win so smoothly before the game? And how do you evaluate your matchup?" Where's the player Hans Same?"
"We will go all out and take every match seriously with every opponent. The reason why today's game can go so smoothly has a lot to do with the full preparation of the coaching staff and teammates. We played our due It’s not surprising that he won easily because of his strength, but as for the opponent’s AD player, I personally admire his operation and courage, maybe he’s a little bit unlucky today?”
"Wow! It seems that God Z is really confident and humble! Today you chose the mouse to win a perfect kda of immortality, and you even ended up with five kills at the end. What do you think?"
"The mouse hero needs to develop in the early stage. I thank my teammates for their help and support. Of course, I also played a corresponding role after equipping it. As for the pentakill, it can only be said that the opponent gave a chance? I personally don't know. For pentakills, winning the game is always the most important thing, of course, if there is a chance to get pentakills, I will not let it go."
Yates' answer was impeccable, and the audience cheered again.
The smile on Yu Shuang's face was even wider, and he asked the last question after the audience's cheers stopped.
"God Z, after winning today, you have successfully broken through to the quarterfinals, and the opponents in the next match will be between WE and SSG. Can you please make a prediction for the results of the match between these two teams?"
Hearing this question, Yates couldn't help frowning.
Judging from the current public opinion outside the arena, the strength of these two teams should be about the same.
But Yezi knew very well in his heart that in that world, ssg was the world champion in s7.
The true strength of ssg is far from being as simple as it is shown now. It is far more difficult for us to defeat ssg than imagined.
Yates hesitated for a moment and said: "We and SSG are both very strong. If I have to make a prediction, I personally hope that our good brother team WE can win."
"Okay! I believe Team We will definitely bring your blessings and join EDG in the semi-finals. Thank God Z for accepting our interview. Goodbye everyone!"
After the post-match interview, Yates returned to the backstage lounge.
"God Z, have you finished the interview? Come and see that we are on the hot search again!"
As soon as Yezi came back, his sister pulled him over and handed the phone to Yezi.
He looked down and saw that Weibo hot search was displayed on the phone. Just a few minutes after the competition ended, the news that edg had advanced to the semi-finals became the top ten most searched.
Yezi usually doesn't know much about these off-court things, and most of the audience actually don't have a deep understanding of the game.
As the saying goes, if you win, you blow up and you lose. The logic of the audience is simple and crude, but it is also very effective.
Although this set is a bit cruel, Yates doesn't dislike it. E-sports food is the original sin, and there is pressure to be motivated.
"This Weibo is still considered good. Take a look at the rating post on the post bar, but it made me laugh so hard!"
...
At this time, the factory manager also came over with his mobile phone, and what was displayed on the screen was the famous anti-stress bar.
This anti-stress bar is known as the post bar toilet, where you can feel the most extreme language art. Of course, people with poor psychological endurance are not recommended to browse the anti-stress bar.
"God Z is my father, father, come on, son loves you!"
"If edg can win the championship, I will go right away, God Z, you wait for me and I will marry you!"
Just a few minutes after the post was published, the number of replies will soon exceed [-].
Seeing all kinds of weird comments from the bar friends, Yezi was speechless for a while.
Fortunately, edg won the game today, if it loses, the comments from friends will immediately be another style of painting.
"The Post Bar Weibo you read is pretty good. Although the speeches of netizens are sometimes destructive to the three views, they are at least acceptable. The really outrageous are those unscrupulous marketing accounts. Look at this title. Did it come out?"
The top laner mouse also came over, and Yates looked curiously at the phone in his hand.
A huge title instantly came into view—shocked! Z God is suspected to be a robot, with perfect reaction and calculation ability, it is definitely not a normal human being!
Yates is even more dumbfounded now, but with the blessing of his own system, it is not impossible to say that he is a robot.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a while. Although we won the game today, we can't let our guard down. We still have two most crucial BO5 games to play. Only by winning these two games can you relax!"
Just when the players were relaxed and happy, a stern voice sounded.
Turning around, the manager Abramovich and coach Nofe were looking at them seriously.
The team members quickly put away their phones and sat down in their seats.
Abramovich took the lead and said: "Everyone performed very well today, but some problems were exposed during the game. Let Coach Nofe come and talk to you."
"In today's game, everyone did a good job in laning, especially the bottom lane was perfect in snowballing the lane after gaining an advantage, but there is one serious problem, that is, the lack of vision!"
When nofe said this, Yezi immediately remembered the wave of being four-packed and two-packed in the bottom lane.
Although the wave of four guarantees and two guarantees was successfully resolved by Yezi relying on his calmness and strong operational ability, it was indeed a potential hidden danger.
If the details on the opposite side can be done better, and if there are some mistakes on one side, then the final result may be different.
For the average team, this might just be a trivial hiccup.
But for the current edg team whose goal is to become the world champion, any slight hidden danger must be eliminated as much as possible.
The other team members obviously thought of this too, and everyone's expressions became serious.
"We still have a training match to play later, and I hope you can improve on the problem of vision!"
Just after winning the game, there will be a training match, but none of the players complained.
After being reminded by coach nofe, the vision problem of the players has been greatly improved this time.
In the next few days, the other games between the top eight are also in full swing.
...
"God Z, who do you like in today's match between rng and fnc?"
"Does it need to be said? This is the AD version, how could Uzi lose in RNG?"
Yezi didn't even have any interest in watching the match between rng and fnc. Unless rng made a huge mistake, it was impossible for fnc to win.
As expected, rng directly took away fnc with a score of [-] to [-].
After the rng game came the Korean civil war between skt and lz.
Because it is a Korean civil war, the speed of this game is not too high. After so many years, the big devil faker still maintains a very high level of competition.
Although lz is a dark horse of lck, it still can't take much advantage in front of the experienced skt.
In the end, the two sides played five rounds, and skt advanced to the semi-finals with a score of [-] to [-].
The last game is the highest speed we vs ssg.
In theory, the strength gap between the two sides was the smallest in this game, and it was a classic Sino-Korean battle, which attracted many people.
More importantly, the winner of this game will become EDG's opponent in the next game.
Therefore, the whole EDG team came to the scene and prepared to watch the game.
edg and his team came to the viewing room dedicated to the backstage players, and happened to meet everyone in we.
"Hey! Isn't this God Z? You guys are still here to watch the battle in person today?"
Xiye greeted Yezi with a smile, the players from the lpl and competition area were fairly familiar with each other.
Ye Zi laughed and said: "You may be our opponents in the next round, of course you have to come and observe it carefully, and don't embarrass us in the LPL competition after the meeting!"
Xiye's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he glanced at the brother-in-law of the ad player behind him.
Ye Zi followed Xi Ye's line of sight, and saw his brother-in-law's face turned pale and looked very haggard.
"What's the matter, brother-in-law? Shouldn't you be sick?"
"Unfortunately, I caught a cold before the game, and now I have a little fever, but I will insist on finishing the game!"
My brother-in-law speaks quite standard Chinese as a Korean aid, so he forced a smile at this time.
Everyone looked worried when they heard this.
This cold is just a minor illness for ordinary people, just take some medicine and rest for a while.
But for professional players, a tiny detail may affect the result of a normal game.
At this time, catching a cold is tantamount to a huge hidden danger.
"Don't worry everyone, we will definitely defeat SSG with me here!"
At this time our jungler Di spoke.
Ye Zi looked at Di and was startled, this Di looked very tired with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
"Di, are you okay? Didn't you stay up late yesterday for training?"
"It's nothing, maybe I was too excited so I didn't sleep well, let alone we are going to play."
Watching our team members heading to the field, Yezi suddenly had a bad feeling.
Yezi knows the true strength of this ssg best, originally we had little chance of winning.
Now that the team's state is so bad, I'm afraid that today's game will be more or less ominous.
Soon the game officially started, and the EDG team was also staring at the big screen.
"Oh! What's going on with our bottom lane? We were double-killed by the opponent at the beginning, and the ruler will be very difficult to fight."
"It seems that the cold and fever have indeed affected the state of my brother-in-law. The opponent's first attack just now can be dodged with a flash."
...
The thing Yezi was most worried about happened as expected. The brother-in-law who was affected by the cold completely lost his ability to show in the league.
The bottom lane was almost overwhelmingly crushed, and the audience at the scene seemed to be silenced.
"The current situation is very unfavorable to us. SSG has a huge advantage and wants to move the dragon. Now we can only look forward to grabbing the dragon with one hand."
"That's right, di has the title of the son of the dragon in our LPL competition area, and robbing dragons is his special skill. It depends on whether di can stand up and save us this time."
At this time, the two commentators also pinned their hopes on Di.
But what was surprising was that after Di entered the Dragon Pit, the opponent stopped attacking Di directly without turning his head.
It seems that ssg also had an in-depth understanding of we before the game, knowing that di has the unique skill of grabbing dragons.
Since you di want to grab the dragon, I just don't fight directly, kill your jungler first, and then take the dragon firmly.
"Hey! We're hanging on now, ssg doesn't give it a chance!"
"It doesn't matter, this is only the first round. I believe our players can adjust their state and get the score back!"
The first game ended quickly with ssg's victory, and everyone in edg was disappointed when they saw this.
If it is possible, of course everyone still hopes to have a civil war with the brother teams in their own competition area. It doesn't matter if one of them beats their own, no matter who loses.
But now it seems that ssg will win first, and the state shown in the game is far better than we.
As professional players, everyone in edg has a more accurate view of the reading ability of the game and the status of the players than the general audience.
"God Z, it seems that our opponent in the next round will probably be SSG, should we go cheer us up?"
As a well-known support "social butterfly", Meikou is naturally very concerned about the state of her competition area.
Yates shook his head and said, "Forget it, they can only make adjustments by themselves at this time. It's useless for us to talk too much in the past, and I feel that besides my brother-in-law, Di's state is also a little bit wrong."
"When you said that, I also remembered it. It seems that Di entered the Dragon Pit a little earlier. Could it be that he was also sick?"
At this moment, Yezi remembered the dark circles under his eyes when he met Di before the game. It is impossible for an experienced professional player to suffer from insomnia before the big game.
I'm afraid this kid did something shameful that affected the state of the game the next day.
With a thought in Ye Zi's mind, Di seems to be...
Could it be that this di didn't change his nature, even in the parallel world, he still did such absurd things as calling chickens before the game?
After a while, the second game started. After a short rest and adjustment, our state did not improve much.
This second game is almost a replica of the first game, with ssg relying on the bottom lane advantage to open up the situation.
Di's jungler couldn't do anything at all, only Xiye in the middle and brother leg in the top lane struggled to support them.
It's a pity that the opponent couldn't stop the rolling snowball at all, and the game was flattened in 10 minutes.
"We're in really bad shape today, and we're two games behind now. It's really too difficult to make the second chase the third."
"On the stage of the World Championship, there are only a handful of times when the second chases the third. We can only look forward to a miracle!"
The words of the two commentators revealed a sense of despair and helplessness.
...
Yezi also shook his head with a wry smile at this time, we are now on the edge of a cliff, and it is almost impossible to reverse and win.
When the third game kicked off, everything really went in the worst direction.
From the very beginning of this round, we collapsed on all three fronts. Even Xi Ye and Brother Leg, who had been supporting the team's tough resistance in the first two games, were completely out of shape.
Two consecutive defeats put too much psychological pressure on the players. This is the cruelty and the excitement of the World Championship.
It's a pity that we couldn't withstand the pressure. As the game progressed to 10 minutes, our base finally exploded under the watchful eyes of the audience.
"Let's go, let's go see our team members!"
Yates brought the EDG players to the we lounge. At this time, the WE players and the coaching team all looked disappointed, and some people's eyes were even slightly red.
Seeing this, Yezi couldn't help being very sad. As a professional player, besides enjoying the victory, he must learn to accept the defeat.
In the real world, we could have made it to the semifinals.
But now because we have changed the historical course of the parallel world, this makes it a pity that we lost to the quarterfinals of SSG.
Thinking of this, Yates felt even more uncomfortable.
"God Z, you are here, today we failed your expectations!"
Seeing Ye Zi, Xiye forced a smile, but the smile was uglier than crying.
Ye Zi raised his hand and patted Xiye's shoulder and said, "Winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs. Besides, we are still there. SSG just won one more BO5. They don't want to go any further without us!"
"You're right! Although we lost, LPL hasn't lost yet. There is RNG in the upper half and your EDG in the lower half. With you in our LPL, there is still hope!"
Xiye seemed to be moved by Ye Zi's words, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.
The other team members of we also stepped forward at this time, hoping that edg can continue to walk with their unfinished regrets.
When WE's team members packed up their things and were about to leave, Yates hesitated for a while and called out to Di.
"God Z, is there anything else you want?"
"Di, you have dark circles under your eyes... you should take a good rest and recharge your spirits before the competition in the future."
As soon as Ye Zi said this, Di blushed immediately, and said falteringly: "I know... I know."
After finishing speaking, he took a peek at Yates, and hurriedly followed the team out.
The backs of several team members were a bit lonely, and when they passed by Ye Zi, Xi Ye turned his eyes to Ye Zi.
Looking at each other, Yates nodded slightly.
Seeing Ye Zi read out his meaning, Xiye was inexplicably relieved.
If there is an LpL team that can win the championship, EdG with Yezzy is undoubtedly the greatest hope of winning.
Looking at the backs of everyone walking away, Ye Zi couldn't help sighing.
The other edg players also expressed emotion, e-sports competitions are so cruel.
The loser can only accept the fate of leaving the stage quietly, and at this time, SSG is still enjoying flowers and applause.
Everyone in edg then returned to the temporary base.
We's defeat shocked the players a lot, and it also boosted their morale.
Abu and Nofe came to the training room at this time, and they still held a large stack of materials in their hands to distribute to everyone.
"You have also seen today's game. This is the information about SSG we just collected, and the corresponding game has also been sent to you. You will take a closer look later."
...
Looking at the thick stack of materials in front of them, the team members all showed bitter expressions.
"There are so many materials? I hated reading books when I was in school, can I not read them?"
"We also watched today's game. SSG didn't feel that it was too strong to be invincible. The main reason is that we didn't play well. I don't think there is any need to read these materials, right?"
As soon as they heard that they needed to read the materials, the team members immediately complained.
Most of these professional players did not have good grades in school, and they are all so-called Internet addicts. Reading these materials is simply a kind of torture.
Abramovich was about to speak, but Yezi said first: "We have just reached the semi-finals, have you forgotten our ultimate goal? SSG's strength is not as simple as you see, if you don't take it seriously, you may be overturned , I advise everyone to take a closer look at these materials.”
Others don't know how powerful SSG is, but Yezi knows it all too well.
Being able to win the s7 world championship in the real world, the strength of ssg should not be underestimated.
If he regretted losing because of underestimating the enemy, Yezi would never forgive himself.
Although Yezi usually has a good temper, as the strongest and most carry player in the team, his words are undoubtedly very intimidating.
Seeing Yezi, he read the materials carefully, and the other team members also picked up the materials patiently and read them.
Just as edg was seriously preparing for the next game, the public opinion outside the court became more and more fierce.
As the team with the most outstanding performance in this World Championship, EDG has become the biggest hope of LPL.
"Welcome everyone to today's preview program of the World Championships. I am Zeyuan. We invite the program guests Doll and Teacher Miller!"
"Teachers, in this year's World Championship, our LPL has two teams entering the semi-finals and they are still in different halfs. In theory, there is a possibility of meeting in the finals. I don't know what you two think?"
Wawa took the lead and said: "It's not easy to talk about rng vs. skt. In the previous world championships, the historical results of rng vs. skt were not ideal, but in the match between edg and ssg, I can say that edg's winning rate is very high!"
Miller followed suit and said: "That's right! The strength shown by edg in this world championship is simply crushing. I saw the shadow of s5skt in this edg team. Our embarrassing record of no championship in the lpl world championship is very impressive. It may end with this EDG team!"
"Oh? Are both of you so confident in EDG? Then let's take a look at the audience's voting results and see who is the most likely champion of this World Championship in the audience's mind!"
A data map quickly popped up on the screen, and the four teams were impressively listed.
What is displayed behind the team is their respective championship support rate.
EDG's support rate for winning the championship has reached a terrifying 90.00% five, even S5's SKT and S4's Samsung White have never been so exaggerated.
"Wow! edg's support rate for winning the championship has reached an astonishing 90.00%[-]. It seems that the audience in our competition area is very optimistic about edg!"
"Zeyuan, I just looked at foreign statistics. According to the calculations of several foreign data analysis websites, EDG has the lowest probability of winning the championship is above 80.00%. I can only say that this is indeed the closest to the world championship in our LPL division. Once!"
Looking at the exaggerated tone of the three commentators on the screen, the expressions of everyone in edg seemed a bit complicated at this time.
...
"It's just the semifinals that blow us up to the sky. I can't believe what we will be sprayed with if we lose!"
As the veteran of the team, especially the seniors who have experienced large-scale cyber violence like 4396, the first thing that comes to mind at this time is the possible backlash from public opinion.
You have to know that the higher you stand, the harder you fall, how fierce the audience is blowing now, and how fierce the blowing will be when you lose.
Ye Zi smiled calmly and said: "These public opinions are beyond our control. What we have to do is to try our best to play every game well. Even if we really lose, we have a clear conscience. As for how others complain, we can only bear it!"
"God Z, your mentality is really good enough, but you have always performed well, it seems that you haven't experienced a real trough, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it when it really comes!"
"Haha! Let's talk about it at that time, not to mention that the pressure brought by public opinion is after losing the game. If you want me to say that it is our opponent who is really anxious now, you said that the ssg people see others How would they react to blowing us up like this?"
In SSG's temporary base, a group of people were sitting around the big screen.
What is displayed on the big screen are all kinds of predictions and related news about this World Championship.
From time to time, there are various classic images from EDG since this World Championship.
"Xiba! Even before the match, EDG is considered the champion. What do you think of our SSG?"
"One thing to say, this time edg performed really well, almost impeccable without any loopholes."
The ones who spoke were ssg's ad player ruler and support player corejj.
Yezi's guess is indeed correct, the pressure brought by public opinion on SSG is no less than that on EDG.
Top laner Cuvee said: "Although edg is very strong, we are not without a chance. The biggest core of edg is ad. As long as we find a way to contain this, we may not have no chance of winning."
"cuvee is right. There is no team in this world that is invincible. We have finally come here and will never give up. No matter how strong EDG is, there will be flaws!"
The one who spoke this time was a man with a steady face who looked obviously older than the others.
This person is the jungler ambition of SSG, and he is also the oldest veteran in the team.
The industry of e-sports is actually a youth meal, because during the competition, there are high requirements for the player's reaction speed and thinking ability.
And these abilities will gradually degenerate with age, so many players will decline in strength and have no choice but to retire after getting old.
For an e-sports player, the golden age is 22 years old.
In this age group, both personal response and operational ability are the peak existence.
But there are always exceptions, such as the jungle ambition of the ssg in front of him.
As a player in 25, he is already [-] years old this year.
For ordinary people, 25 years old is a young age, but for an e-sports player, this age is a properly old player.
Because he is the oldest, and South Korea is a place that pays special attention to seniority, so Ambition is the captain of SSG, and his status in SSG is second only to the coach.
Seeing that Ambition said so, the other players nodded in agreement.
...
"I'm 25 years old this year, and this may be the last year of my career. It's really stressful to meet edg this time, but I hope everyone can let go of their burdens and give it a go. Even if they really lose, they must be vigorous. Regrets!"
Ambition's words were very sincere, and the other SSG players were very touched when they heard it.
"Captain, don't worry! We will definitely do our best!"
Just when EDG and SSG were fully prepared, time was slowly passing by day by day.
The day of the semi-finals is approaching, and today is the last day before the semi-finals, and players from both sides will also accept pre-match interviews.
Everyone from EDG came to the waiting area at this time, and just happened to meet a player from SSG.
Although the two sides have met before, but this is the first meeting before the semi-finals.
The eyes of each other looked at each other with a hint of gunpowder, after all, the semi-finals will be held tomorrow.
"God Z, the eyes on the other side don't seem to be afraid of us!"
"Isn't this more challenging? If the opponent gives up before the fight, the game will be much less fun!"
Yates remained calm, as if nothing could cause too much fluctuation in his heart.
Soon ssg took the lead in accepting the interview.
"Hello, player Ambition, as the oldest player in the team, do you have confidence against EDG this time?"
"EDG played very well in this World Championship. I have watched their previous games and they are very strong, but our SSG is not a weak team. I have confidence in me and my teammates!"
When everyone in edg heard these words in the background, there was a trace of respect in their eyes.
"This ambition is indeed a respectable opponent. If I am as old as him, I don't know if I can continue to play professionally."
"Don't underestimate yourself, what's so great about being old, our brother Ming Kai is not young, he is afraid of a hammer!"
The factory manager couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, his age is only one year younger than ambition, so he is considered an older player.
The next few questions are relatively simple, nothing more than some opinions on the next game.
The answers of the SSG players and coaches were quite satisfactory, but it can be seen that they were not intimidated by the powerful strength of EDG.
I still have a lot of confidence in the next game. As for whether this confidence is forced or really strong, I can only wait until the game to verify it.
After ssg finished the interview, it was finally edg's turn to take the stage for an interview.
As the EDG players entered the arena and took their seats, the reporters in the audience immediately became active, rushing to ask questions one by one.
After all, this World Championship is held in China, and most of the reporters in the audience are local Chinese reporters, and they are definitely more interested in their own team than in the Korean team.
"Hello, I would like to ask God Z, EDG's brave performance in this World Championship is almost unstoppable. There are even many voices from the outside world who believe that you are the champion of this World Championship. What do you think of you?"
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their recognition and trust in us, but any situation may happen during the game, and no one dares to guarantee the result of the game, otherwise the meaning of the game will be lost. What I can be sure of is me and my His teammates will definitely do their best to win every victory!"
...
Yeates' answer drew a round of applause.
At this time, someone asked again: "God Z, just now SSG mentioned that you are the core of this EDG team in the interview, and they will probably target you specifically in tomorrow's game, if this is the case, how will you deal with it? "
"The league is a team game of five people. I could not have performed well in the previous games without the support of my teammates. If ssg really wants to target me, then please prepare them to bear the firepower of my teammates. I believe in me Teammates won't watch me get beaten up!"
Yates suddenly showed such a humorous side that many reporters couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that there were still reporters who wanted to ask him questions, Yezi suddenly felt very distressed.
As a star player in the team, sometimes it is not a good thing to bear too much.
"My friends from the media, don't bother to ask me, my teammates and coaches have a lot to say to you!"
After Yates said this, the reporters began to ask other people questions one after another.
The content of the question was similar to the interview with ssg just now, and the team members breathed a sigh of relief after finally finishing the interview.
"The questions of these reporters are so outrageous, I feel like I can come up with a template."
"Who made us professional players? It's not easy for others to earn a living, so let's cooperate!"
The EDG players returned to the temporary base while talking and laughing.
"Tomorrow is the semi-final match. Today, everyone should rest early to adjust their condition, and they have almost prepared everything that needs to be prepared. Don't feel pressure then, just follow the normal training condition."
Abu's voice was originally motherly, but now he was nagging like an old woman.
However, the players are not impatient at all. Everyone knows how much Abramovich has paid for them as the manager.
In addition to the efforts of the players themselves, edg has been able to get to where it is today. The contribution of the coaching staff and support staff is also indispensable.
And Abramovich has been the manager of edg for several years, and everyone can see edg's dedication.
Tomorrow's game is not only for themselves, but also for those who have worked so hard behind the scenes!
Time soon came to the afternoon of the second day, and the much-anticipated semi-final match between edg and ssg was finally about to kick off.
"Hello, audience friends, I am the commentator Zeyuan!"
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm the commentator remember!"
At this time, two commentators appeared on the big screen.
There is still half an hour before the start of the game, and during this time two commentators will give some basic introductions.
"I have been looking forward to today's game a few days ago, but I have counted the past few days, and now I have finally waited for this moment."
"That's right! Today's game will be played by EDG from our lpl division against SSG from South Korea. I believe the audience has been looking forward to it for a long time."
"Over the past few years, the South Korean division has always been like a shadow over our lpl division, but this year's edg's outstanding performance gave us hope. This edg team is like a ray of sunshine piercing through the thick smog, giving us hope !"
"Well said! This ray of sunshine has melted the cold hearts of countless fans in our competition area, but this piece of ice is too big. To completely melt it, edg needs to go further. It depends on whether today's edg can continue They did a great job.”
With the narration of the two commentators, no matter the audience at the scene or in front of the computer screen, they all felt the excitement in their hearts.
Any old LPL fan will never forget the various humiliations that the LPL Division has experienced in the World Championships.
LPL really needs a world champion to sweep away the haze, and EDG is the team closest to this glory.
As long as they win this bo5, edg will be eligible to touch the final glory!
