Chapter 122 Global massacre!Leave a name in history!Win the sky-high contract! 【Subscribe】
"Congratulations to EDG!! We won this game of life and death, 4/3, we did it! This impossible task, we did it!"
"Break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly, if you don't break, you can't stand! EDG! This is a miracle, the first historical theoretical qualification in the history of the S competition, we have accomplished this feat!!"
"Let's say that together—"
"EDG, welcome to Guangzhou!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
C9's crystal base exploded, and all five EDG members took off their headphones and embraced like crazy.
All the spectators at the Wuhan Sports Center and the commentators from the major competition areas around the world were also shouting and cheering hysterically at the moment.
Cheers for EDG, cheers for this unbreakable power to survive in desperate situations!
Isn't it the greatest charm of e-sports to turn the tables against the wind and survive the desperate situation?
From 0/3 to 4/3, God knows what happened to the five EDG teenagers on the field. God knows all the LPL fans who have been following the EDG results these days and their moods are constantly up and down...
Even the audience around the world who are expecting a miracle is tense.
Now, at this moment, when EDG has confirmed its promotion and completed the first theoretical miracle in the history of the S game.
Everyone just needs a channel to vent!
"EDG, today we won two games in a row, and we won four games in four games in a row. We played so beautifully!"
"Their results in the first round of the group stage were disappointing, but in the second round of the group stage, their performance was impeccable!"
"I think the audience in the second round of the group stage are all happy..."
Miller said loudly: "Miracle!! The first theoretically qualified team in the history of the S game. After experiencing this, I believe that even with the so-called top eight curse, the current EDG must be different from previous years...!"
Doll looked at the big screen and saw everyone in EDG embracing together. The eyes of the director and Meiko were already red, one was excited, the other was scared...
They hugged Xu Cheng tightly.
"We saw...everyone in EDG was very excited...everyone was embracing Buddha..."
"Buddha...Murder..."
Miller's tone of exclamation still persisted: "The sword girl in this game, in the four games of the group stage, it can be said that he is the key to EDG's transformation from a cocoon to a butterfly, and even the protagonist and core of it!"
"Savior! Sword Fairy's last sword strike is coming to the west, flying fairy from the sky, really... can't describe this operation in words, I think... we can see this operation in the professional arena, we should thank Murder!"
"The most frightening thing is that his journey to the S game is still going on. Starting today, he will step into a grander and brighter stage, bringing us more surprises and manipulations!"
"Let us look forward to Buddha's next performance!"
"After these four games, the whole world will recognize the LPL's top laner and the existence of this player!"
"He has become famous all over the world!"
Whoa!
After the words fell, the audience in the audience boiled.
Everyone in EDG on the field also walked out of the game room, and after shaking hands with the depressed C9, Oki and the bot lane women's boss were already crying sobbing——
Contrary to EDG, the former is so glorious, and at the moment when the aura is added to them, they have completely bid farewell and left the S7 stage.
E-sports is always a paradise for winners.
He didn't care about C9's mood at the moment.
Everyone from EDG came to the center of the venue together.
The heat wave coming from the stage seems to be able to melt people.
The audience's screams and shouts were generously given to the five teenagers on the stage.
In the crowd, Xu Cheng saw the big fans of EDG who kept shouting for EDG during the intermission, hoping to distribute more support items.
She waved the "Come on Murder" aid in her hand, and at the moment she was shouting towards her with a blushing face.
He also saw countless EDG fans waving the classic black EDG team flag in the center of the venue, and the flag fluttered in the wind under the neon lights.
And the factory manager's family... the relatives and friends of his teammates...
At this moment, everyone in EDG collapsed emotionally.
Not only won the victory, but also saw the fans and relatives and friends... More because, the nerves that had been tense for half a month, at this moment, finally got a moment of relaxation.
The sudden release under high pressure is the most deadly.
Five people lined up and bowed neatly to the audience.
Whoa!
There was a crazier response from off the field.
Everyone in EDG got up easily and walked towards the backstage.
There are a total of six main matches in the group stage and one extra match, and they have already played all of them.
Confirmed to advance to the quarter-finals.
finally…
It's time to rest.
Backstage, the management of the entire EDG club, including the owner Ed Zhu who had just returned from out of town, all ran out to greet Xu Cheng and the others.
Abu was trembling with excitement, hugging everyone constantly.
He kept saying things like "great" and "hard work" in his mouth.
The hell-like experience in the EDG group stage was not only the collapse of the teammates, but also the pressure on the management team, as the general manager, was unimaginable.
This is a carnival moment for everyone in EDG.
Not long after, everyone from WE, who was nervously preparing for the game, and everyone from RNG who stayed at the scene to watch the game came in. While congratulating EDG, they also felt a little complicated.
Even with zero to three in the opening game, you can reach this point...
This EDG team seems to be different from what they imagined...
"Congratulations, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Xiye punched Xu Cheng: "With your performance, in the future, I guess I will call you brother!"
Xu Cheng laughed and played with him.
At this time, on the big TV in the lounge, Xu Cheng's handsome and iconic familiar makeup photos appeared.
MVP's BGM sounded.
"Four games, four MVPs, tell me loudly, who is the true hero of EDG?"
"I'm super, Buddha!!"
Everyone laughed together.
People from several clubs also congratulated Xu Cheng.
The expressions are a little complicated.
Especially the management of RNG.
Looking at Xu Cheng now, thinking about Xu Cheng's performance these past few days, I feel regretful——
If I had known, they would have continued to compete with EDG in the first place. This shit...Who would have thought that Xu Cheng would grow to this level now?
Not to mention anything else, just a fairy guiding the way, a flying fairy from the sky, this man is destined to be recorded in the history of the S game!
The two seats on the TOP list of the best operations in history cannot be escaped.
Just like that, after another chat for a while, the crowd dispersed.
Among them, WE itself has an important game today, so there is not much time delay.
"The LCK got an invitation... Orange Orange, let's go. The LPL originally wanted to invite you, but the official stopped it."
A moment later, the post-match interview invitation came.
But it is no longer an invitation from the LPL division.
This is actually not beyond everyone's expectations. After all, which player have you ever seen, who played in the World Championship and was invited by the home division four times in a row?
It's not like that to be special!
Although Xu Cheng is the biggest hero this year, the officials still can't break the rules, they can only leave it for later to compensate Xu Cheng.
On Xu Cheng's side, he has no requirements or opinions on these.
Whether it is LPL or LCK, it is a post-match interview in the competition area.
To be honest, this was the first time he was interviewed by a foreign competition area alone, and his mood was somewhat strange.
"Remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. There are a lot of trolls outside the competition, especially on the LCK side. You have won against SKT before, so don't be ganked by others."
Before leaving, the factory manager made a joke with a smile.
"Solo kill off the court, right?"
Xu Cheng smiled, waved his hands, and followed the team leader and translator to the LCK post-match interview booth.
……
What the factory manager said was originally a joke, but Xu Cheng was really a little scared. After all, he had heard about how crazy Korean fans are in private.
But if you think about it carefully, he is a player from outside the division, not Korean, let alone an LCK player, so there should be no problem, right?
Of course there will be no problem.
Not only will there be no problems, but when Xu Cheng really stood in the LCK interview booth, he realized that he had underestimated the popularity he had accumulated around the world these days.
Just like what Xiye said.
A fairy guiding the way, and a flying fairy from outside the sky, made Xu Cheng the undoubtedly popular King of Wuhan Sports Center today!
"Welcome to the post-match interview. This time, we have finally invited the top laner of the EDG team, the representative of Carry - player Murder!"
"Player Murder, say hello to everyone~"
The host, Miss Jin Minna, looked at Xu Cheng with a pleasant smile.
"Hi everyone, I'm EDG's top laner, Murder."
Whoa!
"Ouba! Oppa is so handsome!"
"Murder player is really strong, I love you!!"
"I look handsome off the court, Oppa, come on! I will always support you!"
"Ah!! See the legendary god of operation? Flying Immortals! The first operation in history, Smecta!! Our Korean Gene Smecta!"
"...!"
Enthusiasm, passion beyond imagination.
Xu Cheng was a little stunned and astonished for a short time——
This is different from what he thought.
Are the audience in the outer competition area so friendly?
Jin Minna next to him was not surprised by this.
In fact, Xu Cheng has been busy preparing and competing since he played, and has no time to pay attention to the external situation.
He also couldn't imagine that Immortal Guidance, Tianwai Feixian, Son of Miracle, and even the official rating of him as a fairy-like player... How big the halo of all these buffs added together is.
LCK has always been Muqiang's competition area. Although they look down on LPL and EDG even more, it does not prevent them from admiring and pursuing Xu Cheng, a player with extremely gorgeous operations.
"Then first of all, congratulations to EDG. In the hellish situation in the first round of the group stage, they finally won consecutive victories in the second round..."
"Of course, we all know that the key to this is you, player Murder. Now, the team has finally turned the tide and advanced to the quarterfinals under your efforts. How do you feel about this?"
After listening to the interpreter, Xu Cheng thought for a while before saying, "I am very happy and excited. At the same time, I think this should be the result of the joint efforts of my teammates. Without them, I would not be able to do so many things alone."
"Okay...it's really humble."
Jin Minna didn't look like the host of the LPL division, she continued to ask with a smile: "Then we all know that in today's last game, your sword girl made a wave of operations that no one could have imagined..."
"The sword girl flying in the sky... even got a pentakill in the end, which is the first pentakill in this year's S game! At the same time, regarding the specific details of your operation, why is the Q skill CD so fast? Can you disclose it in detail? one time?"
After the words fell, the audience immediately thought of the cheers and screams like mountains and tsunami——
In this match, the most bewildering + shocking thing was the sword girl, Nabo Tianwai Feixian, who came to the west with a single sword.
If it wasn't for someone who actually played this wave of operations in the S game, then no one would believe it.
The visual effect is too exaggerated, and it can be called a real technology shocking the world.
"For this...it's actually not too difficult, the main thing is luck and coincidence..."
Xu Cheng himself doesn't think this operation is very difficult, the main difficulty may be that it requires a little luck.
"Actively force out Jess E. At that position, Jess hammered me away, and the angle was just right in front of the refresh point of the explosive fruit. A little luck and awareness are needed here."
"As long as you find the right angle and get the timing right, you will be able to bounce and fly, and there will be nothing special after that... By the way, you must pay attention to the extreme reverse Q of Jian Ji, and move sideways at the same time to touch a wild monster, otherwise QCD It’s not enough to join the team…”
"That's pretty much it..."
? ? ? !
Miss Jin Minna looked at Xu Cheng in a daze, and her brain was sorting out the information for a while.
To sum up, I understand it, but there is basically no way to replicate this operation?
"Is that right?"
"Almost, after this game, it is estimated that all teams will be more vigilant against exploding fruits... if there is one, it will be earlier, it will be difficult."
Xu Cheng has an honest face.
Everyone: "..."
Good guy, canyon bully, huh?Play the burst fruit directly in a game, right?
"Well... after the performance in the past few days, many people say that only Khan is your opponent..."
"So what do you think is the gap between you and Khan... or in terms of strength? If he is your opponent, can you still beat him like you beat other people?"
Miss Jin Minna changed the subject, became confident and arrogant again, and looked at Xu Cheng with a smile.
And after listening to the translation, and looking at the expression of the LCK host, Xu Cheng immediately realized——
This proud Korean lady is indeed full of strong self-esteem in her heart.
What is the gap between me and Khan?
Good question, I have to challenge Khan, not as good as Khan.
However, as the official stone hammer, the world's number one top laner this year, Khan, who hit 5/3 in BO1 and smashed SKT, is indeed the best top laner in everyone's mind today.
"...I think every opponent is very strong. With me, no one is special, everyone is the same, and all beings are equal."
After a long time, Xu Cheng still let out "crazy words".
really.
As soon as this remark came out, the LCK audience who had been cheering for him before immediately started shouting.
"Is this going to challenge Jin Donghe? Jin Donghe is the real number one Smecta in the world!"
"Looking at today's performance, Murder may really be the closest top laner to Khan!"
"...Anyway, it's just the group stage. It's too arrogant. Donghe Ouba is a 3/1 SKT man. His Jess is unmatched by Smecta!"
"Wait for EDG to meet LZ, when the time comes, LZ will tell them what is the favorite to win the championship!"
"I used to like Murder very much, but now..."
"Then the last question."
At the interview table, Miss Jin Minna's smile was also slightly restrained, and she looked at Xu Cheng with a sharp edge in her professionalism:
"As we all know, EDG's previous results in the World Championships were not satisfactory... Now that you have advanced to the quarterfinals again, what is your goal?"
Xu Cheng didn't care about the change in the opponent's attitude, and said loudly: "Break through the top eight!"
……
"Is it over? Is the post-match interview over there?"
"I see there was applause just now, it should be over..."
"Why do people say Xiba..."
not far away.
Rita and Xiaoyu sized up the LCK interview booth, expressing their incomprehension to the cheering and chaos.
"By the way, what are you pulling me for?"
Xiao Yu turned her head, pulled out the arm from Rita's arms, and looked at Rita suspiciously.
"Uh...well, isn't it because you are more familiar with Chengcheng?"
Rita was a little embarrassed, and then a little confused: "Choose a player to follow the S7Vlog, you didn't find Cheng Cheng, did you?"
"Ah? Tell me about this. I haven't had time yet. He's been too busy recently."
Xiao Yu was stunned.
"Hey, you know him best, so it's definitely no problem to find him, just... can you take my sister with me..."
Rita licked her face coquettishly: "Xiaoyu, you are the best!"
"...It's not up to me." Xiao Yu said with inexplicable resistance.
"Then you agreed? It's okay, Chengcheng will definitely agree, and then we will go together!"
Rita pretended not to notice Xiaoyu's emotions, and grabbed her hand with a silly smile: "I love you, muamua!"
Xiao Yu: "...!"
Official Vlog, to be precise, this is a task assigned by the official to each host after the local battle this year.
It is used to find materials for shooting documentaries, and to help oneself increase popularity.
In the past, few people in Xu Cheng paid attention to the fact that people like the baby Miller had already invited the puppy, the factory director and other famous figures by virtue of their direct and powerful contacts.
As for Xu Cheng, there were only a few good Jimeis who cared about it at first.
Unexpectedly, after four games, Xu Cheng is now soaring into the sky.
Now Jimei couldn't sit still, and Rita, who was ready to find Xu Cheng, couldn't wait to discuss this matter with Xu Cheng after the post-match interview.
……
at the same time.
outside world.
Unlike the explosion of the Wuhan Sports Center at the moment, the public opinion and atmosphere of the outside world at the moment have gradually become abstract and exaggerated to an outrageous level.
EDG4/3's miracle theory qualified, taking over the heat of defeating SKT in the last game, and officially slaughtered the entire network.
On the other hand, regarding Xu Cheng's personal prestige and fame, he has also reached the pinnacle of his career!
After today, Xu Cheng's fame has broken through the boundaries that a rookie should have.
All-round breakthrough!
From the astonishment of playing for the first time, to the shock of the second, third... fourth time.
Almost every time he plays, Xu Cheng can always bring unimaginable surprises and frights to people.
Immortals guiding the way, and Flying Immortals outside the sky, just sat and watched his [a player like an immortal]'s evaluation.
These two operations immediately became popular all over the world as soon as the game ended!
Yes, not the whole network, but the whole world!
In less than half an hour, in less than half an hour, these two operations broke into the top ten in less than half an hour, and the top five seats were reserved——
And the one that ranks first and has the highest broadcast volume is Faker's famous double-robbery battle.
[You can't imagine that you can see this level of operation on a stage like the global finals! 】
[The god of operation is talking about Murder, this guy looks like a monster when he plays games! 】
[Listen guys, now Murder wants to say something to the whole world and his teammates: Top lane booster, don’t give away a package to win! 】
[This person is really strong, pay attention, what I said is not strong in the ordinary sense, but at the perverted level... Many people may think that I am exaggerating, but recently I carefully reviewed his previous Rank videos... Suddenly, I felt that this person was an operation monster from beginning to end! 】
【LCK and top laners from all over the world will face their strongest opponents ever!The Great Demon King is here! 】
[Khan is the only person who can still maintain his god position in front of Murder. As a loyal LCK fan, I only hope that Khan can kill Murder's unrivaled momentum! 】
[CuVee hasn't fought Murder yet, as for Huni...you can take it away. 】
[Look forward to the top eight. EDG has never broken through to the top eight. I don't know if they can break through team history under the leadership of Murder. I'm looking forward to it! 】
Xu Cheng's popularity in the outer competition areas has skyrocketed, to the point where everyone who sees him says he is a god!
But playing less games is, after all, one of Xu Cheng's shortcomings that is not a shortcoming.
The BO1 of the group stage is over, and the next BO5 will be a more difficult, more intense duel that can better reflect the overall strength of a player.
Can he continue to maintain this inhuman posture?
This topic once aroused discussions in dozens of competition areas around the world, but soon, as time passed.
The next day, the last group match day of the 2017 Global Finals group match came.
On this day, EDG in the background witnessed many historical classic scenes.
FNC, who also started 0/3 in the first round of the group stage, worked together and changed their fate against the sky. They won the second round and succeeded in the extra match. Ou Cheng was so excited that he cried at the scene.
There were also five players from LZ who were promoted 6/0 without any suspense, and they were full of spirits.
There is also G2, which has been confirmed to be eliminated, and the whole staff started to work together, playing around in the S game, and the wind man appeared on the stage...
In short, in one day, too many joys and sorrows and high spirits happened.
All of these will be fixed as time goes by and become eternal classics in the S7 World Championship.
After RNG, WE scored 5/1, ranked first in the group, and qualified perfectly.
So far, counting EDG, the three teams participating in this year's LPL have advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2017 Global Finals.
The EDG people who are in the background are not in the mood to pay attention to these at the moment.
Because the group stage is about to end.
The biggest highlight of the year is also the most effective part of the program——
The draw for the quarterfinals is about to begin!
"Who will we draw?"
Everyone in EDG felt nervous and apprehensive.
In this mood, it didn't take long.
With the end of the last extra match between FNC and GAM.
FNC won with difficulty, and all members were so excited that they collapsed emotionally.
The group stage of the 2017 Global Finals has come to a perfect end.
Another 15 minutes or so passed.
The time came to exactly nine o'clock in the evening.
The draw ceremony for the top eight of the 2017 Global Finals has officially begun.
……
The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the S competition.
In fact, to be more accurate, this is also the last draw for this year's S competition.
The result of this lottery will not only assign the giants who have advanced to the quarter-finals to their opponents in the quarter-finals.
Even the range of opponents in the semifinals and even the finals will be determined after this draw.
The draw is divided into a left half and a right half.
There are four advanced teams in each half, a total of eight world-class teams.
After the two-two matchup in each half area, the two winning teams will advance to the semi-finals, and the winning team will advance to the finals of the Bird's Nest.
The World Finals will be played against the team that wins the other half.
Very simple and clear rules.
But everyone in EDG is very nervous at the moment.
Because there are other rules for the draw of the quarterfinals of the S game.
For example, the first place in each group will not meet in the quarterfinals, and their opponent will be No.2 in other groups.
This can also be regarded as a benefit after the group's first qualifying.
Playing against a weaker team will naturally make it much less difficult to advance.
The teams currently confirmed to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2017 Global Finals are:
Group A: SKT, EDG (ranked from high to low)
Group B: LZ, FNC
Group C: RNG, SSG
Group D: WE, MSF
Teams in the same group in the group stage will also not meet in the quarterfinals.
EDG currently has only three opponents.
They are the first in the other three teams: LZ, RNG, and WE.
There are three teams, regardless of strength, two of them are domestic brother teams!
In other words, it is very likely that the EDG quarterfinals will draw an LPL team!
There is a high probability that there will be a civil war!
fight civil war...
Thinking of this possibility, everyone in EDG felt very complicated.
Civil war has always been the most hated by audiences in all divisions.
It is also the lottery that the teams do not want to draw.
Because no matter whether you win or lose a civil war, it will always arouse great public opinion and suffer terrible pressure.
But if there is no civil war...
EDG can only face LZ.
LZ...
What kind of team is this?
If SKT is recognized as the number one team in the world, then in the eyes of everyone, LZ in 17 is a super monster that is more terrifying than SKT!
Because they crushed SKT 3/1 in this year's LCK finals and won the LCK championship.
The No. [-] seed of LCK this year is not SKT, but the LZ team!
At the same time, LZ is still the official favorite to win the championship, the real number one team in the world today.
Every position has invincible online strength, and often in the early laning phase, the opponent players can be defeated!
LZ's perfect record of 6/0 in the group stage also proves that they are not in vain.
The most important thing is that the best-of-eight BO5 and BO1 are completely two games. In this era, no one wants to meet the Korean team in a BO5!
Meeting the South Korean team, in the eyes of many people, is basically equal to being eliminated early by default.
EDG went to fight LZ...
Not to mention outsiders, except for Xu Cheng, no one else in EDG has the slightest confidence.
Therefore, the draw for the quarter-finals this year is not friendly to EDG.
No matter which team is drawn, they seem to be drawing the lottery.
"I think playing LZ is better than playing WE and RNG. At least we have never lost a civil war."
Hu Xianzhao said something very truthfully.
Hearing that everyone didn't know whether he was belittling or praising for a while.
"call…"
"No matter what else, whether it is life or death, it will be revealed immediately!"
The factory manager took a deep breath, and the team leader also came over and called Xu Cheng away.
Draw lots for the quarter-finals, and each team that advances to the quarter-finals will send a representative to the front stage.
When the opponents of the quarter-finals are determined, the two sides will shake hands as a souvenir.
To show the competitive spirit of the global finals.
"Chengcheng, come on!"
"Come on, Ouhuang, waiting for your good news!"
Xu Cheng said with a speechless smile: "It's not me who drew lots, Ou Huang is a ghost."
While talking, he followed the team leader out of the waiting room and came to the front stage.
When Xu Cheng stepped onto the stage, players from the other seven teams also arrived.
He also saw WE's jungler Condi Conti in the crowd.
The two looked at each other, and they could see the emotional fluctuations in each other's eyes.
The eight representative contestants on the stage stood in different positions, all staring nervously at the lottery box in the center of the arena.
On the big screen, the situation in the lounges of the major teams at the moment was broadcast live at the right time.
All the teams that advanced to the quarter-finals were all staring at the screen intently, waiting for their opponents to be determined in the quarter-finals.
RNG lounge.
"Who to draw? I think FNC can do it! This one is the best!"
"MSF is also fine, but the Rabbit team feels quite strong... The best pick is FNC."
Everyone chatted with each other, Brother Zaozi sat on the chair in the middle, couldn't help but said: "Don't draw EDG!"
That's what I said, but everyone in RNG is actually a bit inexplicably complicated...
No.2 of the other three groups, FNC is recognized as the best player, and EDG is just behind FNC.
In the current EDG, except for the top laner Murder, every other position has shortcomings, especially Meiko, who has a good hand in the competition.
For these two teams, no matter who is drawn, RNG feels very good.
It's just that this can't be said clearly, otherwise it will be a black spot for a lifetime if it is broadcast live.
The brother team of the S game.
The title of EDG is doomed that they can't openly express the idea of taking EDG as a baby.
On the other side, the situation on WE and RNG is similar.
It's best to meet FNC, but if they can't, between Samsung and EDG, they definitely hope that they can play EDG in the quarterfinals.
In fact, even many LPL viewers feel that it is better to help RNG or WE to advance to the semi-finals than to let EDG give LZ an experience baby.
after all…
In the civil war, there will be a semi-final team 100%.
Everyone in the LPL division...has waited too long for this top four!
In the words of some fans, if EDG plays RNG or WE in the quarterfinals, and the last two teams advance to the semifinals or even win the championship, then EDG will have one-third of the credit for this championship!
Don't brag and don't criticize, you are really a hero in the competition area!
Enough to wash away the shame of the past quarterfinals!
Don't believe it, many places in the outside world are full of such kind of deformed and cerebral palsy remarks.
In this case, it didn't take long.
Rookie, the mid laner of the IG team in the LPL division, walked onto the stage in formal attire with a smile on his face.
Everyone was refreshed.
The draw is about to begin!
First, the first group of the four groups, this is nothing to look at.
The four teams came first and came to the top and bottom of the two halves respectively.
When it came to the No. [-] seed pool, the main event came.
All the audience, commentators, including the top giants who have already advanced in each competition area, all stared intently at the lottery ball in Rookie's hand.
In the eyes of hundreds of millions, Rookie spread out the note in his hand, facing the camera and all the audience.
On the note was the yellow background team logo, and the name of FNC appeared in front of everyone.
In the grouping on the big screen, FNC also immediately appeared below the RNG team logo in the upper part of the left half——
Confirmed, RNG beats FNC!
Whoa!
The field was boiling.
"Good sign! RNG is playing FNC! Then...we won't be under a lot of pressure in the quarterfinals!"
Miller was so excited that he almost jumped up.
FNC and EDG are the same, it is a difficult theory to qualify for the group stage.
It is recognized as one of the weakest teams in this year's quarterfinals.
RNG beats FNC.
If nothing else, the LPL division this year is really very likely to break through to the top eight, the nightmare in everyone's mind, the curse!
How can you not be excited? !
"This is really the fate of the lottery. As long as RNG plays normally, it can really break through the top eight!" Wawa was also very excited.
Rookie on the stage has already drawn the second lottery.
SKT beat the rabbit team MSF.
"SKT played the Rabbit team, and the Rabbit team felt a bit difficult!" Miller said with emotion.
On the field, the result of the lottery was settled. The Rabbit jungler on the stage also had a bitter face, and walked over to shake hands with SKT team support Wolf.
"The next thing is the main event. EDG's lottery hasn't come out yet... SKT is in the same group and was drawn again. RNG has also confirmed their opponent. Currently, EDG's opponent can only be WE or LZ..."
Rita looked at Xu Cheng who was standing in the field, and was a little worried: "This lottery...it doesn't feel good to draw..."
……
"Draw EDG! Draw EDG!"
"Samsung is still there, can I get EDG!"
In the WE lounge, everyone dared not say this, but they kept shouting in their hearts.
Compared with Samsung, EDG must be the better player.
only…
The so-called what to be afraid of.
When Rookie picked up the third ball and opened it for a look, he was stunned.
Then, amidst everyone's bad premonition, the result was revealed——
Black on a blue background, SSG.
The Samsung team logo instantly moved down to the bottom of WE.
WE's opponent is confirmed, it is Samsung!
"Ouch! Three stars! Did WE get three stars?!"
"In that case... EDG will play LZ in the quarterfinals?!" Rita opened her mouth wide.
EDG is going to play LZ.
After WE decided to play against Samsung.
There is no need to read the remaining sign.
Because at the moment, among the top eight teams, six teams have already locked their opponents.
The remaining two teams are EDG and LZ...
"EDG? Is it EDG!?"
"Ness!!"
"Ahhh!!"
"Hahaha, EDG!"
"I won, everyone, do we want to walk to the finals?"
"This lottery is not challenging! Can it work, brother!"
There was a burst of cheers in the LZ lounge. The Mouse King sitting in the center was so excited that he almost fell off his chair!
LZ playing EDG, isn't this pure abuse + walk-in?
Because this scene was too programmatic, the director directly brought a close-up of it.
The real-time live broadcast was broadcast to audiences in major competition areas around the world.
It didn't take long for a group of people in LZ to be overly excited because they got EDG, and the animation of the Mouse King almost falling off the chair became popular all over the world...
On the stage, Xu Cheng and Kang Di from WE looked at each other.
Both seem to see each other's bitterness.
Then walk up together to shake hands with representatives of the opposing team.
The one who shook hands with Xu Cheng happened to be Khan, the world's number one top laner.
When Brother Hanzi shook hands, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, it was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Xu Cheng had no expression on his face, looking quite normal.
Because this picture is very joyful, it quickly became popular.
Among them, Brother Hanzi's maniacal laughter was made into an emoji, with the words "secretly ecstatic" written on it.
Xu Cheng just had no expression on his face, but everyone thought it was bitterness in his heart, and he was closed to the lottery result.
This moving picture is the same as the collective ecstasy in the LZ lounge before, and it was quickly spread to the forum post bars of various competition areas around the world, and even became a trending search.
It became one of the hottest famous scenes today...
So far, the draw for the quarterfinals of the 2017 Global Finals has officially come to an end.
The list of the quarter-finals is as follows:
LZ played against EDG.
SKT vs. MSF.
RNG played against FNC.
WE played against SSG.
among them.
EDG's schedule was ranked first...
……
On the way from the stage to the backstage.
"Why is it Samsung, ouch..."
"What kind of broken sign..."
RNG represented Xiao Ming, but Kang Di sighed.
It wasn't until Xiao Ming pulled the corner of the other party's clothes that he realized that Xu Cheng was also here.
There are only two teams left in the selection of WE's opponents just now.
In addition to SSG, it is EDG.
If you don't want to hit Samsung, who do you want to hit?
It was really inappropriate for him to say this in front of Xu Cheng.
But Xu Cheng didn't care. After walking backstage, he bid farewell to the two: "I wish the quarterfinals a good result!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
After they parted, Xu Cheng returned to the lounge.
Inside the EDG lounge.
The atmosphere at the moment is dull and oppressive.
Seeing Xu Cheng come in, everyone smiled wryly.
"Chengcheng, what luck, you just hit LZ right away."
"Ouhuang? Criticize the emperor!"
Xu Cheng was very innocent: "It's not me who drew lots, it has something to do with me."
Everyone did not refute.
The reason for saying this may be that everyone just wants to vent their depression.
Having just experienced life and death in hell, he finally broke through the siege, completed the theoretical qualifying, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
As a result, before they were happy for a while, someone told them——
You are going to play LZ!
This is simply more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
"Hey, what's the deal? Now I can really pack my things and prepare to go home for the New Year..." Meiko sighed.
Leaning on the chair and looking at the ceiling, he felt a little speechless asking the sky.
"It feels... this year is really not going well." Others were also a little depressed.
Abramovich and the coach frowned watching this scene.
Being timid before fighting is the most terrifying thing. It seems that they have a lot of work these days.
"You...do you really think LZ is strong?"
Xu Cheng looked at his teammates and suddenly asked a question.
"Strong?" Hu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't this a generally accepted fact? In BO5, LZ can even be 3/1 with SKT. Isn't this team the strongest team in the world right now?"
"One thing to say, the official is almost putting this year's championship on LZ's forehead!"
Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not as strong as you think. This team won't play in the late game, and... I think since we have met, we should prepare well."
"You are all old players, do you still need me, a rookie who has just debuted for half a year, to comfort you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
"All right, all right, in the game, the pursuit is always the number one, but on the way to the number one, we will meet the strongest team, it's just a matter of time."
"Have you never thought about going to the end from the beginning to the end?"
Abu also stood up and clapped his hands: "Clean up, go back and do targeted training."
Everyone in EDG nodded.
Now that you have encountered it, no matter whether you think it is good to fight or not, you have to face it.
And Abu was right.
In e-sports, there is always only one champion.
If they give up on themselves just because they met LZ, then it can only be said...
Deserving of the quarter-finals, they are not worthy of winning the S Championship in this life.
Everyone's emotions just now may be more of a release of the pressure during this period.
After going back, how to prepare how to prepare.
Is Liz very strong?
No matter how strong you are, you have to face it.
"If you don't play LZ, you have to play RNG and WE. Among these three teams, which team do you think is easy to play?"
On the way back, Xu Cheng rarely comforted the factory director in reverse.
The factory manager was silent.
"The fruit you plant is poisonous and you have to eat it." Xu Cheng said softly, "Don't worry, we will make it to the end."
"You forgot, you want to take me to a higher stage to see the scenery."
"I also want to show you the scenery after the quarterfinals."
"..." The factory manager was silent for a while, and then choked out a sentence: "Can it be higher? I don't want to watch the quarterfinals... I've seen enough..."
……
With the end of the group stage, the draw for the quarter-finals ended.
The outside world also set off a great heated discussion.
The main reason is that today's game and the result of the draw are too important.
The number of people who follow is several times more than before.
At this moment, with the final result coming out, the mood of all LPL viewers and fans is very closed.
The result of today's lottery is not a good one for everyone.
Except RNG.
EDG and WE, one playing LZ and the other playing SSG.
Both are South Korean teams, and they were all met by LPL teams.
Some people say that RNG once double-killed Samsung in the group stage. Isn't WE's lottery result very good?
This is completely ignorant of the inside story.
Leaving aside that RNG is RNG and WE is WE, these are two completely different teams.
SSG alone is one of the Korean representative teams this year, and WE will not feel so good after the match.
Again, there is a qualitative difference between BO1 in the group stage and BO5 in the quarterfinals!
BO1 only plays one game, there are too many accidents that can happen.
BO5 is five rounds and three wins. It is the most scientific schedule and it is also the schedule that can best show the background and comprehensive strength of a strong team.
Even with RNG coming, there is no guarantee of winning a BO5 against Samsung, let alone a WE?
WE's best pick is actually EDG.
As for EDG...
Needless to say.
The moment they got the LZ, in the eyes of many people, it was just the sound of the suona, and the black man lifted the coffin, and he could be carried away directly to the burial.
It is estimated that except for EDG themselves, no one thinks that they can uncover the coffin and send LZ into the coffin in reverse...
【What kind of luck is Rookie doing today?How can you draw two South Korean teams in a row? 】
[God hand?Bad hands!Appreciate! ! 】
[The results of the lottery made me vomit, what the hell? 】
[Now I announce that EDG and WE are officially buried!Cool to the two teams! 】
[WE is okay... EDG is really miserable, 0/3 in the group stage, and the quarterfinals met LZ, I can only say this is luck, maybe you can be choked to death if you drink cold water... 7 sauce really lost his mana this year ...]
【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ancestor Saiwen!Save it! 】
[The end of pigs! 】
[Unfortunately, God, the group stage was really bloody Carry, the hard C carried EDG into the quarterfinals, and the quarterfinals directly met LZ, who can stand it? 】
[Live in Bengbu. 】
Someone released the emoji of Khan trying to hold back his smile during the lottery ceremony.
Immediately, someone below followed Xu Cheng with a "hesitant to speak" and "bitter face".
Everyone lives in Bengbu.
[Buddha's future can be expected, I hope to find a good team next year, preferably an all-China class, with good results. 】
[Good team = RNG, All-China class = RNG.It's really you, Huangza! 】
[Hahaha, now that Buddha is stronger than Letme, are you jealous?Why did you go there when you were angry with others? 】
[Aside from other things, once the lottery results come out, RNG is the only hope for this year's LPL. 】
[True, the only hope!Originally, if WE had drawn EDG, we would still have a chance to double to the semi-finals... Now I really can only see this scene in a dream...]
only hope.
If EDG and WE are two unlucky guys, the fans will break down and the audience will cry.
In the quarter-finals, RNG had drawn the Destiny lottery, and its own strength was one of the favorites to win the championship.
It really became the only hope for the LPL division this year!
Break through the top eight with the best results in recent years, and even win the Bird's Nest Finals that everyone dared not dream of!
So predictable.
From this day on, RNG's reputation rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, absorbing all the support that originally belonged to WE to itself.
became the Son of Destiny.
Old vampire + Destiny's Child.
the other side.
With the end of the group stage, the draw for the quarter-finals ended.
The S game, which has been fighting fiercely for more than half a month, has also entered a short offseason.
After everyone in EDG returned to the hotel, the coaching team began to watch the LZ game video overnight, and made targeted BP and tactics.
The players were given the day off the next day.
It's not that they are lax.
In fact, EDG is definitely one of the hardest teams in this year's S competition group stage!
Think about it, from 0/3 to 4/3, what did they go through?
To say it was a trip to hell is not an exaggeration.
Long-term mental stress and physical stress all need to be buffered and released.
That's why I had this short vacation.
But for Xu Cheng, life after becoming famous is doomed to have no holidays.
This morning, he was specially invited by the officials to shoot the promotional video for the opening ceremony of the quarterfinals and record his personal VCR.
In the middle, I also took a small advertisement for the official.
After eating at the official's at noon, I just returned to the hotel when I was called into the room by Ed Zhu.
Xu Cheng knew.
The price increase I mentioned last time is finally about to be implemented...
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and walked into the room.
Found that the boss Ed Zhu and Abu are here.
Next to him was an assistant who hadn't seen him at the club before.
"Come here, Cheng Cheng, sit down quickly."
Abu stood up with a smile, called Xu Cheng to sit down, and asked, "Are you tired this morning?"
"It's okay, it's just a simple shot of some material."
Sitting opposite Xu Cheng, Abu asked curiously, "How is it? Do you still get used to the feeling of getting angry?"
"Hmm..." Xu Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It feels like there are more people paying attention to me than before, it's okay..."
"It's more than that."
Abu shook his head and looked at the boss next to him.
It turned out that Ed Zhu had already stood up and sat down beside Xu Cheng.
Clutching his hands: "I've watched all the games these days. You played really well. After we finish talking, remember to sign for me."
Xu Cheng: "..."
Abu: "..."
It has long been heard that Edzhu is very "simple" in private, especially to Ming Kai, he is simply a piece of iron pig.
Now it seems…
Xu Cheng also successfully conquered the opponent in several matches.
After Ming Kai, the second living ancestor of EDG.
Xu Cheng was not used to the boss being so affectionate to him, so he nodded and said, "If the boss thinks it's okay, I'll directly sign in batches and make some contributions to the club."
? ? !
Are you a business genius?
"No, no, that's tiring. Our club doesn't require this." Edzhu shook his head quickly.
Abu was speechless and funny.
At the same time, I am also a little emotional.
This is EDG.
In some cases, the boss is actually no different from a fan.
"Then Chengcheng, you should be clear about the purpose of our calling you here today. We will not be courteous. Take a look at this contract. If you have any questions, talk to them face to face."
"The boss brought all the legal consultants today, and he will provide you with legal assistance throughout the whole process, or you can ask him if you don't understand anything."
Abu pointed to the black suit standing next to him, and handed Xu Cheng a contract.
Because the RNG contract was playing tricks at home, EDG was obviously worried that Xu Cheng might have misunderstood something, so they directly brought in the legal counsel.
Xu Cheng took the contract.
In fact, the club's contracts are similar.
Except for individual clubs who will cause trouble, teams like EDG that even give transfer fees to players will not make a fuss about these.
Xu Cheng took a look, and was finally attracted by the most important number that everyone cared about——
annual salary.
The sign on the contract is very clear, 1500 million a year.
1500……
still a year...
An average of 125 million per month...
Real monthly income of millions?
Xu Cheng raised his head and looked at the people in the room with some astonishment and bewilderment.
"This...boss, manager, this annual salary..."
"What? Do you think it's less?" Ed Zhu asked first.
"No...not less." Xu Cheng blinked: "This money... is more than I imagined."
Far more than imagined.
What Xu Cheng signed before was actually the highest-paying contract for a rookie.
But that contract, compared with the current one that is truly the world's top contract, there is a big gap, the difference between cloud and mud.
Even if he knew that his worth had risen now, Xu Cheng never dreamed that he would directly reach 1500 million.
Don't underestimate the 1500 million.
Not to mention that Xu Cheng is a new player who has just debuted for half a year without any honors or achievements.
Just use the annual salary of the entire LPL division as a measure.
The annual salary given by EDG has also reached the ceiling.
To know…
The so-called annual salary of 3000 million or 4000 million for the top players that everyone is familiar with is extremely deceptive.
These annual salaries are based on the star player's live broadcast contract income, plus a few years' salary, all counted, it is just a gimmick announced to the outside world.
For example, a world-class mid laner advertises that his annual salary is 3000 million.
In fact, he signed a contract for three years, a total of 3000 million.
Calculated separately, it is only 1000 million per year.
This is still the annual salary of LPL close to the ceiling.
Looking back at Xu Cheng's contract, you will know how much EDG gave.
1500 million a year, 4500 million in three years!
Comparable to those first-team soul-level figures who have played for four or five years!
EDG...This is directly treating Xu Cheng as the top of the LPL, and even one of the biggest cards in the future!
Xu Cheng felt a little touched in his heart.
1500 million, these are all white money.
"A lot? It's okay." Ed Zhu thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think you are worth the price."
"Chengcheng, EDG will never treat their own people badly. We have been together for so long. Although we usually train you very strictly and have various rules, it is all for your own good... Some children must be taken care of. So as not to develop bad habits. You should understand this."
Abu also said emotionally: "Actually, we can give you a lot less in this contract, but...it's not necessary. Everyone thinks you can, and I think so too."
"Look again, you can take it back, anyway, just make a decision within a few days."
Ed Zhu nodded: "Yes, we will continue to work hard next year. At that time, I will win support players and strengthen the bottom lane. Then we will hit the S game!"
Xu Cheng nodded, then was a little dazed again.
How does he feel...
Ed Zhu said this so awkwardly...
Try harder next year?
They haven't been eliminated this year, why don't they work hard this year?
However, the atmosphere was harmonious at this time, and Xu Cheng didn't ask much.
Ten minutes later, Xu Cheng and Abu walked out of the room together.
"Congratulations, from now on, you are a multi-millionaire."
Abu looked at Xu Cheng gratifiedly, and was in a good mood: "You are such a young multi-millionaire, I am afraid that you will never meet the purest love again..."
"..."
Xu Cheng hesitated to speak.
"Hahaha, okay, let's go, go back to training, your contract is settled, no matter what happens this year, I am full of confidence that we will hit the World Championship next year!"
"That..." Xu Cheng asked: "Why do you say that you will work hard next year? Haven't we been eliminated yet?"
Abu was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "To be honest, when we fight LZ, we... are not very optimistic about it internally. Everyone has already made the worst plan. Don't worry, I will give the boss a vaccination in advance. gone."
"If we can sign you, we still have a chance and a future."
Xu Cheng opened his mouth.
But don't know what to say.
Not everyone can predict the future.
Before the game started, LZ was recognized as the strongest team in the world and the favorite to win the championship.
This is an indisputable fact!
In the end, Xu Cheng could only say: "As long as I am in EDG, I will play every game seriously."
"Well, I believe you." Abu didn't think too deeply.
Xu Cheng's words were not just words.
The treatment and trust given to him by EDG are something that Xu Cheng has never had before.
EDG is also the enlightenment team of his career.
There are his best friends here, and more importantly, he has a good management team.
and so…
He really wants to bring something to himself and the team, including his teammates and the boss.
"What do you think?"
A Bu shook his hand towards Xu Cheng.
"Oh, I was wondering what would happen if we won the championship."
"Huh...ah?" Abu was taken aback.
To win the championship?
Abu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's a ghost to win the championship. If the current LPL breaks through to the quarterfinals, the whole country will probably explode. Let's think about how to play the quarterfinals."
Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't answer, he joked again: "If you really win the championship, then... among other things, you know the identity of the boss, right?"
"When the time comes, each person in Guangzhou will have a sea view room, and the arrangement will be clear."
"How about I apply in person?"
Won a suite in Guangzhou.
This has always been a joke within the EDG team.
But everyone knows that if that day comes, Edzhu has the strength and courage to send out a few suites.
About the identity of the owner Ed Zhu...
Xu Cheng heard about it when he didn't join EDG.
After joining EDG, it became clearer.
Guangzhou, which is the venue for this year's quarter-finals, is definitely Edzhu's home base.
Many high-end properties were developed by his own family.
"Okay, then I'm going to pick a set of building king position, please make a reservation for me first."
Xu Cheng suddenly laughed and looked at Abu.
"Oh? Alright, I'll go to the boss to apply later." Abu raised his eyebrows, and bumped fists with Xu Cheng.
"Okay, I'm off to work. I'm on vacation today. I've been tired for half a month. You should also take a rest."
"it is good."
The two separate.
Xu Cheng walked out of the hotel alone, looking up at the blue sky.
The sun is glaring and the weather is fine today.
A feeling like yesterday arises spontaneously.
1500...
With feet on the ground, there is an erratic and illusory feeling.
How many games has he played?
In total, half a year of career can be ignored.
Speaking of which, it was these four group games that earned an annual salary of 1500 million.
Perhaps many people find it incredible, or even unbelievable.
It's just a simple four games, and it will be such a high value.
perhaps…
This is one of the biggest charms of the S game.
One operation, one game is enough for an unknown player to soar into the sky and travel around the world.
This is just the group stage, if you play well in more critical games.
That would be enough to change a player's life.
Standing there for a while, Xu Cheng looked at the streets where people were coming and going.
Suddenly I don't know what to do.
Without training, without competition, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.
He wanted to find his teammates to stay for a while, but today his teammates went shopping with their relatives and friends.
The factory manager accompanied his girlfriend and family.
Meiko and the others also have their own relatives and friends to accompany them.
He alone seemed a little lonely.
Where is my family?
Xu Cheng flashed this thought.
During this period of time, I have been busy with the game and have little contact with my family.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to contact his parents and tell them...he had achieved some results.
(End of this chapter)
"Congratulations to EDG!! We won this game of life and death, 4/3, we did it! This impossible task, we did it!"
"Break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly, if you don't break, you can't stand! EDG! This is a miracle, the first historical theoretical qualification in the history of the S competition, we have accomplished this feat!!"
"Let's say that together—"
"EDG, welcome to Guangzhou!"
"Ahhhh!!!"
C9's crystal base exploded, and all five EDG members took off their headphones and embraced like crazy.
All the spectators at the Wuhan Sports Center and the commentators from the major competition areas around the world were also shouting and cheering hysterically at the moment.
Cheers for EDG, cheers for this unbreakable power to survive in desperate situations!
Isn't it the greatest charm of e-sports to turn the tables against the wind and survive the desperate situation?
From 0/3 to 4/3, God knows what happened to the five EDG teenagers on the field. God knows all the LPL fans who have been following the EDG results these days and their moods are constantly up and down...
Even the audience around the world who are expecting a miracle is tense.
Now, at this moment, when EDG has confirmed its promotion and completed the first theoretical miracle in the history of the S game.
Everyone just needs a channel to vent!
"EDG, today we won two games in a row, and we won four games in four games in a row. We played so beautifully!"
"Their results in the first round of the group stage were disappointing, but in the second round of the group stage, their performance was impeccable!"
"I think the audience in the second round of the group stage are all happy..."
Miller said loudly: "Miracle!! The first theoretically qualified team in the history of the S game. After experiencing this, I believe that even with the so-called top eight curse, the current EDG must be different from previous years...!"
Doll looked at the big screen and saw everyone in EDG embracing together. The eyes of the director and Meiko were already red, one was excited, the other was scared...
They hugged Xu Cheng tightly.
"We saw...everyone in EDG was very excited...everyone was embracing Buddha..."
"Buddha...Murder..."
Miller's tone of exclamation still persisted: "The sword girl in this game, in the four games of the group stage, it can be said that he is the key to EDG's transformation from a cocoon to a butterfly, and even the protagonist and core of it!"
"Savior! Sword Fairy's last sword strike is coming to the west, flying fairy from the sky, really... can't describe this operation in words, I think... we can see this operation in the professional arena, we should thank Murder!"
"The most frightening thing is that his journey to the S game is still going on. Starting today, he will step into a grander and brighter stage, bringing us more surprises and manipulations!"
"Let us look forward to Buddha's next performance!"
"After these four games, the whole world will recognize the LPL's top laner and the existence of this player!"
"He has become famous all over the world!"
Whoa!
After the words fell, the audience in the audience boiled.
Everyone in EDG on the field also walked out of the game room, and after shaking hands with the depressed C9, Oki and the bot lane women's boss were already crying sobbing——
Contrary to EDG, the former is so glorious, and at the moment when the aura is added to them, they have completely bid farewell and left the S7 stage.
E-sports is always a paradise for winners.
He didn't care about C9's mood at the moment.
Everyone from EDG came to the center of the venue together.
The heat wave coming from the stage seems to be able to melt people.
The audience's screams and shouts were generously given to the five teenagers on the stage.
In the crowd, Xu Cheng saw the big fans of EDG who kept shouting for EDG during the intermission, hoping to distribute more support items.
She waved the "Come on Murder" aid in her hand, and at the moment she was shouting towards her with a blushing face.
He also saw countless EDG fans waving the classic black EDG team flag in the center of the venue, and the flag fluttered in the wind under the neon lights.
And the factory manager's family... the relatives and friends of his teammates...
At this moment, everyone in EDG collapsed emotionally.
Not only won the victory, but also saw the fans and relatives and friends... More because, the nerves that had been tense for half a month, at this moment, finally got a moment of relaxation.
The sudden release under high pressure is the most deadly.
Five people lined up and bowed neatly to the audience.
Whoa!
There was a crazier response from off the field.
Everyone in EDG got up easily and walked towards the backstage.
There are a total of six main matches in the group stage and one extra match, and they have already played all of them.
Confirmed to advance to the quarter-finals.
finally…
It's time to rest.
Backstage, the management of the entire EDG club, including the owner Ed Zhu who had just returned from out of town, all ran out to greet Xu Cheng and the others.
Abu was trembling with excitement, hugging everyone constantly.
He kept saying things like "great" and "hard work" in his mouth.
The hell-like experience in the EDG group stage was not only the collapse of the teammates, but also the pressure on the management team, as the general manager, was unimaginable.
This is a carnival moment for everyone in EDG.
Not long after, everyone from WE, who was nervously preparing for the game, and everyone from RNG who stayed at the scene to watch the game came in. While congratulating EDG, they also felt a little complicated.
Even with zero to three in the opening game, you can reach this point...
This EDG team seems to be different from what they imagined...
"Congratulations, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Xiye punched Xu Cheng: "With your performance, in the future, I guess I will call you brother!"
Xu Cheng laughed and played with him.
At this time, on the big TV in the lounge, Xu Cheng's handsome and iconic familiar makeup photos appeared.
MVP's BGM sounded.
"Four games, four MVPs, tell me loudly, who is the true hero of EDG?"
"I'm super, Buddha!!"
Everyone laughed together.
People from several clubs also congratulated Xu Cheng.
The expressions are a little complicated.
Especially the management of RNG.
Looking at Xu Cheng now, thinking about Xu Cheng's performance these past few days, I feel regretful——
If I had known, they would have continued to compete with EDG in the first place. This shit...Who would have thought that Xu Cheng would grow to this level now?
Not to mention anything else, just a fairy guiding the way, a flying fairy from the sky, this man is destined to be recorded in the history of the S game!
The two seats on the TOP list of the best operations in history cannot be escaped.
Just like that, after another chat for a while, the crowd dispersed.
Among them, WE itself has an important game today, so there is not much time delay.
"The LCK got an invitation... Orange Orange, let's go. The LPL originally wanted to invite you, but the official stopped it."
A moment later, the post-match interview invitation came.
But it is no longer an invitation from the LPL division.
This is actually not beyond everyone's expectations. After all, which player have you ever seen, who played in the World Championship and was invited by the home division four times in a row?
It's not like that to be special!
Although Xu Cheng is the biggest hero this year, the officials still can't break the rules, they can only leave it for later to compensate Xu Cheng.
On Xu Cheng's side, he has no requirements or opinions on these.
Whether it is LPL or LCK, it is a post-match interview in the competition area.
To be honest, this was the first time he was interviewed by a foreign competition area alone, and his mood was somewhat strange.
"Remember to be cautious in your words and deeds. There are a lot of trolls outside the competition, especially on the LCK side. You have won against SKT before, so don't be ganked by others."
Before leaving, the factory manager made a joke with a smile.
"Solo kill off the court, right?"
Xu Cheng smiled, waved his hands, and followed the team leader and translator to the LCK post-match interview booth.
……
What the factory manager said was originally a joke, but Xu Cheng was really a little scared. After all, he had heard about how crazy Korean fans are in private.
But if you think about it carefully, he is a player from outside the division, not Korean, let alone an LCK player, so there should be no problem, right?
Of course there will be no problem.
Not only will there be no problems, but when Xu Cheng really stood in the LCK interview booth, he realized that he had underestimated the popularity he had accumulated around the world these days.
Just like what Xiye said.
A fairy guiding the way, and a flying fairy from outside the sky, made Xu Cheng the undoubtedly popular King of Wuhan Sports Center today!
"Welcome to the post-match interview. This time, we have finally invited the top laner of the EDG team, the representative of Carry - player Murder!"
"Player Murder, say hello to everyone~"
The host, Miss Jin Minna, looked at Xu Cheng with a pleasant smile.
"Hi everyone, I'm EDG's top laner, Murder."
Whoa!
"Ouba! Oppa is so handsome!"
"Murder player is really strong, I love you!!"
"I look handsome off the court, Oppa, come on! I will always support you!"
"Ah!! See the legendary god of operation? Flying Immortals! The first operation in history, Smecta!! Our Korean Gene Smecta!"
"...!"
Enthusiasm, passion beyond imagination.
Xu Cheng was a little stunned and astonished for a short time——
This is different from what he thought.
Are the audience in the outer competition area so friendly?
Jin Minna next to him was not surprised by this.
In fact, Xu Cheng has been busy preparing and competing since he played, and has no time to pay attention to the external situation.
He also couldn't imagine that Immortal Guidance, Tianwai Feixian, Son of Miracle, and even the official rating of him as a fairy-like player... How big the halo of all these buffs added together is.
LCK has always been Muqiang's competition area. Although they look down on LPL and EDG even more, it does not prevent them from admiring and pursuing Xu Cheng, a player with extremely gorgeous operations.
"Then first of all, congratulations to EDG. In the hellish situation in the first round of the group stage, they finally won consecutive victories in the second round..."
"Of course, we all know that the key to this is you, player Murder. Now, the team has finally turned the tide and advanced to the quarterfinals under your efforts. How do you feel about this?"
After listening to the interpreter, Xu Cheng thought for a while before saying, "I am very happy and excited. At the same time, I think this should be the result of the joint efforts of my teammates. Without them, I would not be able to do so many things alone."
"Okay...it's really humble."
Jin Minna didn't look like the host of the LPL division, she continued to ask with a smile: "Then we all know that in today's last game, your sword girl made a wave of operations that no one could have imagined..."
"The sword girl flying in the sky... even got a pentakill in the end, which is the first pentakill in this year's S game! At the same time, regarding the specific details of your operation, why is the Q skill CD so fast? Can you disclose it in detail? one time?"
After the words fell, the audience immediately thought of the cheers and screams like mountains and tsunami——
In this match, the most bewildering + shocking thing was the sword girl, Nabo Tianwai Feixian, who came to the west with a single sword.
If it wasn't for someone who actually played this wave of operations in the S game, then no one would believe it.
The visual effect is too exaggerated, and it can be called a real technology shocking the world.
"For this...it's actually not too difficult, the main thing is luck and coincidence..."
Xu Cheng himself doesn't think this operation is very difficult, the main difficulty may be that it requires a little luck.
"Actively force out Jess E. At that position, Jess hammered me away, and the angle was just right in front of the refresh point of the explosive fruit. A little luck and awareness are needed here."
"As long as you find the right angle and get the timing right, you will be able to bounce and fly, and there will be nothing special after that... By the way, you must pay attention to the extreme reverse Q of Jian Ji, and move sideways at the same time to touch a wild monster, otherwise QCD It’s not enough to join the team…”
"That's pretty much it..."
? ? ? !
Miss Jin Minna looked at Xu Cheng in a daze, and her brain was sorting out the information for a while.
To sum up, I understand it, but there is basically no way to replicate this operation?
"Is that right?"
"Almost, after this game, it is estimated that all teams will be more vigilant against exploding fruits... if there is one, it will be earlier, it will be difficult."
Xu Cheng has an honest face.
Everyone: "..."
Good guy, canyon bully, huh?Play the burst fruit directly in a game, right?
"Well... after the performance in the past few days, many people say that only Khan is your opponent..."
"So what do you think is the gap between you and Khan... or in terms of strength? If he is your opponent, can you still beat him like you beat other people?"
Miss Jin Minna changed the subject, became confident and arrogant again, and looked at Xu Cheng with a smile.
And after listening to the translation, and looking at the expression of the LCK host, Xu Cheng immediately realized——
This proud Korean lady is indeed full of strong self-esteem in her heart.
What is the gap between me and Khan?
Good question, I have to challenge Khan, not as good as Khan.
However, as the official stone hammer, the world's number one top laner this year, Khan, who hit 5/3 in BO1 and smashed SKT, is indeed the best top laner in everyone's mind today.
"...I think every opponent is very strong. With me, no one is special, everyone is the same, and all beings are equal."
After a long time, Xu Cheng still let out "crazy words".
really.
As soon as this remark came out, the LCK audience who had been cheering for him before immediately started shouting.
"Is this going to challenge Jin Donghe? Jin Donghe is the real number one Smecta in the world!"
"Looking at today's performance, Murder may really be the closest top laner to Khan!"
"...Anyway, it's just the group stage. It's too arrogant. Donghe Ouba is a 3/1 SKT man. His Jess is unmatched by Smecta!"
"Wait for EDG to meet LZ, when the time comes, LZ will tell them what is the favorite to win the championship!"
"I used to like Murder very much, but now..."
"Then the last question."
At the interview table, Miss Jin Minna's smile was also slightly restrained, and she looked at Xu Cheng with a sharp edge in her professionalism:
"As we all know, EDG's previous results in the World Championships were not satisfactory... Now that you have advanced to the quarterfinals again, what is your goal?"
Xu Cheng didn't care about the change in the opponent's attitude, and said loudly: "Break through the top eight!"
……
"Is it over? Is the post-match interview over there?"
"I see there was applause just now, it should be over..."
"Why do people say Xiba..."
not far away.
Rita and Xiaoyu sized up the LCK interview booth, expressing their incomprehension to the cheering and chaos.
"By the way, what are you pulling me for?"
Xiao Yu turned her head, pulled out the arm from Rita's arms, and looked at Rita suspiciously.
"Uh...well, isn't it because you are more familiar with Chengcheng?"
Rita was a little embarrassed, and then a little confused: "Choose a player to follow the S7Vlog, you didn't find Cheng Cheng, did you?"
"Ah? Tell me about this. I haven't had time yet. He's been too busy recently."
Xiao Yu was stunned.
"Hey, you know him best, so it's definitely no problem to find him, just... can you take my sister with me..."
Rita licked her face coquettishly: "Xiaoyu, you are the best!"
"...It's not up to me." Xiao Yu said with inexplicable resistance.
"Then you agreed? It's okay, Chengcheng will definitely agree, and then we will go together!"
Rita pretended not to notice Xiaoyu's emotions, and grabbed her hand with a silly smile: "I love you, muamua!"
Xiao Yu: "...!"
Official Vlog, to be precise, this is a task assigned by the official to each host after the local battle this year.
It is used to find materials for shooting documentaries, and to help oneself increase popularity.
In the past, few people in Xu Cheng paid attention to the fact that people like the baby Miller had already invited the puppy, the factory director and other famous figures by virtue of their direct and powerful contacts.
As for Xu Cheng, there were only a few good Jimeis who cared about it at first.
Unexpectedly, after four games, Xu Cheng is now soaring into the sky.
Now Jimei couldn't sit still, and Rita, who was ready to find Xu Cheng, couldn't wait to discuss this matter with Xu Cheng after the post-match interview.
……
at the same time.
outside world.
Unlike the explosion of the Wuhan Sports Center at the moment, the public opinion and atmosphere of the outside world at the moment have gradually become abstract and exaggerated to an outrageous level.
EDG4/3's miracle theory qualified, taking over the heat of defeating SKT in the last game, and officially slaughtered the entire network.
On the other hand, regarding Xu Cheng's personal prestige and fame, he has also reached the pinnacle of his career!
After today, Xu Cheng's fame has broken through the boundaries that a rookie should have.
All-round breakthrough!
From the astonishment of playing for the first time, to the shock of the second, third... fourth time.
Almost every time he plays, Xu Cheng can always bring unimaginable surprises and frights to people.
Immortals guiding the way, and Flying Immortals outside the sky, just sat and watched his [a player like an immortal]'s evaluation.
These two operations immediately became popular all over the world as soon as the game ended!
Yes, not the whole network, but the whole world!
In less than half an hour, in less than half an hour, these two operations broke into the top ten in less than half an hour, and the top five seats were reserved——
And the one that ranks first and has the highest broadcast volume is Faker's famous double-robbery battle.
[You can't imagine that you can see this level of operation on a stage like the global finals! 】
[The god of operation is talking about Murder, this guy looks like a monster when he plays games! 】
[Listen guys, now Murder wants to say something to the whole world and his teammates: Top lane booster, don’t give away a package to win! 】
[This person is really strong, pay attention, what I said is not strong in the ordinary sense, but at the perverted level... Many people may think that I am exaggerating, but recently I carefully reviewed his previous Rank videos... Suddenly, I felt that this person was an operation monster from beginning to end! 】
【LCK and top laners from all over the world will face their strongest opponents ever!The Great Demon King is here! 】
[Khan is the only person who can still maintain his god position in front of Murder. As a loyal LCK fan, I only hope that Khan can kill Murder's unrivaled momentum! 】
[CuVee hasn't fought Murder yet, as for Huni...you can take it away. 】
[Look forward to the top eight. EDG has never broken through to the top eight. I don't know if they can break through team history under the leadership of Murder. I'm looking forward to it! 】
Xu Cheng's popularity in the outer competition areas has skyrocketed, to the point where everyone who sees him says he is a god!
But playing less games is, after all, one of Xu Cheng's shortcomings that is not a shortcoming.
The BO1 of the group stage is over, and the next BO5 will be a more difficult, more intense duel that can better reflect the overall strength of a player.
Can he continue to maintain this inhuman posture?
This topic once aroused discussions in dozens of competition areas around the world, but soon, as time passed.
The next day, the last group match day of the 2017 Global Finals group match came.
On this day, EDG in the background witnessed many historical classic scenes.
FNC, who also started 0/3 in the first round of the group stage, worked together and changed their fate against the sky. They won the second round and succeeded in the extra match. Ou Cheng was so excited that he cried at the scene.
There were also five players from LZ who were promoted 6/0 without any suspense, and they were full of spirits.
There is also G2, which has been confirmed to be eliminated, and the whole staff started to work together, playing around in the S game, and the wind man appeared on the stage...
In short, in one day, too many joys and sorrows and high spirits happened.
All of these will be fixed as time goes by and become eternal classics in the S7 World Championship.
After RNG, WE scored 5/1, ranked first in the group, and qualified perfectly.
So far, counting EDG, the three teams participating in this year's LPL have advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2017 Global Finals.
The EDG people who are in the background are not in the mood to pay attention to these at the moment.
Because the group stage is about to end.
The biggest highlight of the year is also the most effective part of the program——
The draw for the quarterfinals is about to begin!
"Who will we draw?"
Everyone in EDG felt nervous and apprehensive.
In this mood, it didn't take long.
With the end of the last extra match between FNC and GAM.
FNC won with difficulty, and all members were so excited that they collapsed emotionally.
The group stage of the 2017 Global Finals has come to a perfect end.
Another 15 minutes or so passed.
The time came to exactly nine o'clock in the evening.
The draw ceremony for the top eight of the 2017 Global Finals has officially begun.
……
The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the S competition.
In fact, to be more accurate, this is also the last draw for this year's S competition.
The result of this lottery will not only assign the giants who have advanced to the quarter-finals to their opponents in the quarter-finals.
Even the range of opponents in the semifinals and even the finals will be determined after this draw.
The draw is divided into a left half and a right half.
There are four advanced teams in each half, a total of eight world-class teams.
After the two-two matchup in each half area, the two winning teams will advance to the semi-finals, and the winning team will advance to the finals of the Bird's Nest.
The World Finals will be played against the team that wins the other half.
Very simple and clear rules.
But everyone in EDG is very nervous at the moment.
Because there are other rules for the draw of the quarterfinals of the S game.
For example, the first place in each group will not meet in the quarterfinals, and their opponent will be No.2 in other groups.
This can also be regarded as a benefit after the group's first qualifying.
Playing against a weaker team will naturally make it much less difficult to advance.
The teams currently confirmed to advance to the quarter-finals of the 2017 Global Finals are:
Group A: SKT, EDG (ranked from high to low)
Group B: LZ, FNC
Group C: RNG, SSG
Group D: WE, MSF
Teams in the same group in the group stage will also not meet in the quarterfinals.
EDG currently has only three opponents.
They are the first in the other three teams: LZ, RNG, and WE.
There are three teams, regardless of strength, two of them are domestic brother teams!
In other words, it is very likely that the EDG quarterfinals will draw an LPL team!
There is a high probability that there will be a civil war!
fight civil war...
Thinking of this possibility, everyone in EDG felt very complicated.
Civil war has always been the most hated by audiences in all divisions.
It is also the lottery that the teams do not want to draw.
Because no matter whether you win or lose a civil war, it will always arouse great public opinion and suffer terrible pressure.
But if there is no civil war...
EDG can only face LZ.
LZ...
What kind of team is this?
If SKT is recognized as the number one team in the world, then in the eyes of everyone, LZ in 17 is a super monster that is more terrifying than SKT!
Because they crushed SKT 3/1 in this year's LCK finals and won the LCK championship.
The No. [-] seed of LCK this year is not SKT, but the LZ team!
At the same time, LZ is still the official favorite to win the championship, the real number one team in the world today.
Every position has invincible online strength, and often in the early laning phase, the opponent players can be defeated!
LZ's perfect record of 6/0 in the group stage also proves that they are not in vain.
The most important thing is that the best-of-eight BO5 and BO1 are completely two games. In this era, no one wants to meet the Korean team in a BO5!
Meeting the South Korean team, in the eyes of many people, is basically equal to being eliminated early by default.
EDG went to fight LZ...
Not to mention outsiders, except for Xu Cheng, no one else in EDG has the slightest confidence.
Therefore, the draw for the quarter-finals this year is not friendly to EDG.
No matter which team is drawn, they seem to be drawing the lottery.
"I think playing LZ is better than playing WE and RNG. At least we have never lost a civil war."
Hu Xianzhao said something very truthfully.
Hearing that everyone didn't know whether he was belittling or praising for a while.
"call…"
"No matter what else, whether it is life or death, it will be revealed immediately!"
The factory manager took a deep breath, and the team leader also came over and called Xu Cheng away.
Draw lots for the quarter-finals, and each team that advances to the quarter-finals will send a representative to the front stage.
When the opponents of the quarter-finals are determined, the two sides will shake hands as a souvenir.
To show the competitive spirit of the global finals.
"Chengcheng, come on!"
"Come on, Ouhuang, waiting for your good news!"
Xu Cheng said with a speechless smile: "It's not me who drew lots, Ou Huang is a ghost."
While talking, he followed the team leader out of the waiting room and came to the front stage.
When Xu Cheng stepped onto the stage, players from the other seven teams also arrived.
He also saw WE's jungler Condi Conti in the crowd.
The two looked at each other, and they could see the emotional fluctuations in each other's eyes.
The eight representative contestants on the stage stood in different positions, all staring nervously at the lottery box in the center of the arena.
On the big screen, the situation in the lounges of the major teams at the moment was broadcast live at the right time.
All the teams that advanced to the quarter-finals were all staring at the screen intently, waiting for their opponents to be determined in the quarter-finals.
RNG lounge.
"Who to draw? I think FNC can do it! This one is the best!"
"MSF is also fine, but the Rabbit team feels quite strong... The best pick is FNC."
Everyone chatted with each other, Brother Zaozi sat on the chair in the middle, couldn't help but said: "Don't draw EDG!"
That's what I said, but everyone in RNG is actually a bit inexplicably complicated...
No.2 of the other three groups, FNC is recognized as the best player, and EDG is just behind FNC.
In the current EDG, except for the top laner Murder, every other position has shortcomings, especially Meiko, who has a good hand in the competition.
For these two teams, no matter who is drawn, RNG feels very good.
It's just that this can't be said clearly, otherwise it will be a black spot for a lifetime if it is broadcast live.
The brother team of the S game.
The title of EDG is doomed that they can't openly express the idea of taking EDG as a baby.
On the other side, the situation on WE and RNG is similar.
It's best to meet FNC, but if they can't, between Samsung and EDG, they definitely hope that they can play EDG in the quarterfinals.
In fact, even many LPL viewers feel that it is better to help RNG or WE to advance to the semi-finals than to let EDG give LZ an experience baby.
after all…
In the civil war, there will be a semi-final team 100%.
Everyone in the LPL division...has waited too long for this top four!
In the words of some fans, if EDG plays RNG or WE in the quarterfinals, and the last two teams advance to the semifinals or even win the championship, then EDG will have one-third of the credit for this championship!
Don't brag and don't criticize, you are really a hero in the competition area!
Enough to wash away the shame of the past quarterfinals!
Don't believe it, many places in the outside world are full of such kind of deformed and cerebral palsy remarks.
In this case, it didn't take long.
Rookie, the mid laner of the IG team in the LPL division, walked onto the stage in formal attire with a smile on his face.
Everyone was refreshed.
The draw is about to begin!
First, the first group of the four groups, this is nothing to look at.
The four teams came first and came to the top and bottom of the two halves respectively.
When it came to the No. [-] seed pool, the main event came.
All the audience, commentators, including the top giants who have already advanced in each competition area, all stared intently at the lottery ball in Rookie's hand.
In the eyes of hundreds of millions, Rookie spread out the note in his hand, facing the camera and all the audience.
On the note was the yellow background team logo, and the name of FNC appeared in front of everyone.
In the grouping on the big screen, FNC also immediately appeared below the RNG team logo in the upper part of the left half——
Confirmed, RNG beats FNC!
Whoa!
The field was boiling.
"Good sign! RNG is playing FNC! Then...we won't be under a lot of pressure in the quarterfinals!"
Miller was so excited that he almost jumped up.
FNC and EDG are the same, it is a difficult theory to qualify for the group stage.
It is recognized as one of the weakest teams in this year's quarterfinals.
RNG beats FNC.
If nothing else, the LPL division this year is really very likely to break through to the top eight, the nightmare in everyone's mind, the curse!
How can you not be excited? !
"This is really the fate of the lottery. As long as RNG plays normally, it can really break through the top eight!" Wawa was also very excited.
Rookie on the stage has already drawn the second lottery.
SKT beat the rabbit team MSF.
"SKT played the Rabbit team, and the Rabbit team felt a bit difficult!" Miller said with emotion.
On the field, the result of the lottery was settled. The Rabbit jungler on the stage also had a bitter face, and walked over to shake hands with SKT team support Wolf.
"The next thing is the main event. EDG's lottery hasn't come out yet... SKT is in the same group and was drawn again. RNG has also confirmed their opponent. Currently, EDG's opponent can only be WE or LZ..."
Rita looked at Xu Cheng who was standing in the field, and was a little worried: "This lottery...it doesn't feel good to draw..."
……
"Draw EDG! Draw EDG!"
"Samsung is still there, can I get EDG!"
In the WE lounge, everyone dared not say this, but they kept shouting in their hearts.
Compared with Samsung, EDG must be the better player.
only…
The so-called what to be afraid of.
When Rookie picked up the third ball and opened it for a look, he was stunned.
Then, amidst everyone's bad premonition, the result was revealed——
Black on a blue background, SSG.
The Samsung team logo instantly moved down to the bottom of WE.
WE's opponent is confirmed, it is Samsung!
"Ouch! Three stars! Did WE get three stars?!"
"In that case... EDG will play LZ in the quarterfinals?!" Rita opened her mouth wide.
EDG is going to play LZ.
After WE decided to play against Samsung.
There is no need to read the remaining sign.
Because at the moment, among the top eight teams, six teams have already locked their opponents.
The remaining two teams are EDG and LZ...
"EDG? Is it EDG!?"
"Ness!!"
"Ahhh!!"
"Hahaha, EDG!"
"I won, everyone, do we want to walk to the finals?"
"This lottery is not challenging! Can it work, brother!"
There was a burst of cheers in the LZ lounge. The Mouse King sitting in the center was so excited that he almost fell off his chair!
LZ playing EDG, isn't this pure abuse + walk-in?
Because this scene was too programmatic, the director directly brought a close-up of it.
The real-time live broadcast was broadcast to audiences in major competition areas around the world.
It didn't take long for a group of people in LZ to be overly excited because they got EDG, and the animation of the Mouse King almost falling off the chair became popular all over the world...
On the stage, Xu Cheng and Kang Di from WE looked at each other.
Both seem to see each other's bitterness.
Then walk up together to shake hands with representatives of the opposing team.
The one who shook hands with Xu Cheng happened to be Khan, the world's number one top laner.
When Brother Hanzi shook hands, he couldn't hold back the smile on his face, it was as bright as a chrysanthemum.
Xu Cheng had no expression on his face, looking quite normal.
Because this picture is very joyful, it quickly became popular.
Among them, Brother Hanzi's maniacal laughter was made into an emoji, with the words "secretly ecstatic" written on it.
Xu Cheng just had no expression on his face, but everyone thought it was bitterness in his heart, and he was closed to the lottery result.
This moving picture is the same as the collective ecstasy in the LZ lounge before, and it was quickly spread to the forum post bars of various competition areas around the world, and even became a trending search.
It became one of the hottest famous scenes today...
So far, the draw for the quarterfinals of the 2017 Global Finals has officially come to an end.
The list of the quarter-finals is as follows:
LZ played against EDG.
SKT vs. MSF.
RNG played against FNC.
WE played against SSG.
among them.
EDG's schedule was ranked first...
……
On the way from the stage to the backstage.
"Why is it Samsung, ouch..."
"What kind of broken sign..."
RNG represented Xiao Ming, but Kang Di sighed.
It wasn't until Xiao Ming pulled the corner of the other party's clothes that he realized that Xu Cheng was also here.
There are only two teams left in the selection of WE's opponents just now.
In addition to SSG, it is EDG.
If you don't want to hit Samsung, who do you want to hit?
It was really inappropriate for him to say this in front of Xu Cheng.
But Xu Cheng didn't care. After walking backstage, he bid farewell to the two: "I wish the quarterfinals a good result!"
"come on!"
"come on!"
After they parted, Xu Cheng returned to the lounge.
Inside the EDG lounge.
The atmosphere at the moment is dull and oppressive.
Seeing Xu Cheng come in, everyone smiled wryly.
"Chengcheng, what luck, you just hit LZ right away."
"Ouhuang? Criticize the emperor!"
Xu Cheng was very innocent: "It's not me who drew lots, it has something to do with me."
Everyone did not refute.
The reason for saying this may be that everyone just wants to vent their depression.
Having just experienced life and death in hell, he finally broke through the siege, completed the theoretical qualifying, and advanced to the quarterfinals.
As a result, before they were happy for a while, someone told them——
You are going to play LZ!
This is simply more exciting than riding a roller coaster.
"Hey, what's the deal? Now I can really pack my things and prepare to go home for the New Year..." Meiko sighed.
Leaning on the chair and looking at the ceiling, he felt a little speechless asking the sky.
"It feels... this year is really not going well." Others were also a little depressed.
Abramovich and the coach frowned watching this scene.
Being timid before fighting is the most terrifying thing. It seems that they have a lot of work these days.
"You...do you really think LZ is strong?"
Xu Cheng looked at his teammates and suddenly asked a question.
"Strong?" Hu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't this a generally accepted fact? In BO5, LZ can even be 3/1 with SKT. Isn't this team the strongest team in the world right now?"
"One thing to say, the official is almost putting this year's championship on LZ's forehead!"
Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not as strong as you think. This team won't play in the late game, and... I think since we have met, we should prepare well."
"You are all old players, do you still need me, a rookie who has just debuted for half a year, to comfort you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a little embarrassed.
"All right, all right, in the game, the pursuit is always the number one, but on the way to the number one, we will meet the strongest team, it's just a matter of time."
"Have you never thought about going to the end from the beginning to the end?"
Abu also stood up and clapped his hands: "Clean up, go back and do targeted training."
Everyone in EDG nodded.
Now that you have encountered it, no matter whether you think it is good to fight or not, you have to face it.
And Abu was right.
In e-sports, there is always only one champion.
If they give up on themselves just because they met LZ, then it can only be said...
Deserving of the quarter-finals, they are not worthy of winning the S Championship in this life.
Everyone's emotions just now may be more of a release of the pressure during this period.
After going back, how to prepare how to prepare.
Is Liz very strong?
No matter how strong you are, you have to face it.
"If you don't play LZ, you have to play RNG and WE. Among these three teams, which team do you think is easy to play?"
On the way back, Xu Cheng rarely comforted the factory director in reverse.
The factory manager was silent.
"The fruit you plant is poisonous and you have to eat it." Xu Cheng said softly, "Don't worry, we will make it to the end."
"You forgot, you want to take me to a higher stage to see the scenery."
"I also want to show you the scenery after the quarterfinals."
"..." The factory manager was silent for a while, and then choked out a sentence: "Can it be higher? I don't want to watch the quarterfinals... I've seen enough..."
……
With the end of the group stage, the draw for the quarter-finals ended.
The outside world also set off a great heated discussion.
The main reason is that today's game and the result of the draw are too important.
The number of people who follow is several times more than before.
At this moment, with the final result coming out, the mood of all LPL viewers and fans is very closed.
The result of today's lottery is not a good one for everyone.
Except RNG.
EDG and WE, one playing LZ and the other playing SSG.
Both are South Korean teams, and they were all met by LPL teams.
Some people say that RNG once double-killed Samsung in the group stage. Isn't WE's lottery result very good?
This is completely ignorant of the inside story.
Leaving aside that RNG is RNG and WE is WE, these are two completely different teams.
SSG alone is one of the Korean representative teams this year, and WE will not feel so good after the match.
Again, there is a qualitative difference between BO1 in the group stage and BO5 in the quarterfinals!
BO1 only plays one game, there are too many accidents that can happen.
BO5 is five rounds and three wins. It is the most scientific schedule and it is also the schedule that can best show the background and comprehensive strength of a strong team.
Even with RNG coming, there is no guarantee of winning a BO5 against Samsung, let alone a WE?
WE's best pick is actually EDG.
As for EDG...
Needless to say.
The moment they got the LZ, in the eyes of many people, it was just the sound of the suona, and the black man lifted the coffin, and he could be carried away directly to the burial.
It is estimated that except for EDG themselves, no one thinks that they can uncover the coffin and send LZ into the coffin in reverse...
【What kind of luck is Rookie doing today?How can you draw two South Korean teams in a row? 】
[God hand?Bad hands!Appreciate! ! 】
[The results of the lottery made me vomit, what the hell? 】
[Now I announce that EDG and WE are officially buried!Cool to the two teams! 】
[WE is okay... EDG is really miserable, 0/3 in the group stage, and the quarterfinals met LZ, I can only say this is luck, maybe you can be choked to death if you drink cold water... 7 sauce really lost his mana this year ...]
【Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Ancestor Saiwen!Save it! 】
[The end of pigs! 】
[Unfortunately, God, the group stage was really bloody Carry, the hard C carried EDG into the quarterfinals, and the quarterfinals directly met LZ, who can stand it? 】
[Live in Bengbu. 】
Someone released the emoji of Khan trying to hold back his smile during the lottery ceremony.
Immediately, someone below followed Xu Cheng with a "hesitant to speak" and "bitter face".
Everyone lives in Bengbu.
[Buddha's future can be expected, I hope to find a good team next year, preferably an all-China class, with good results. 】
[Good team = RNG, All-China class = RNG.It's really you, Huangza! 】
[Hahaha, now that Buddha is stronger than Letme, are you jealous?Why did you go there when you were angry with others? 】
[Aside from other things, once the lottery results come out, RNG is the only hope for this year's LPL. 】
[True, the only hope!Originally, if WE had drawn EDG, we would still have a chance to double to the semi-finals... Now I really can only see this scene in a dream...]
only hope.
If EDG and WE are two unlucky guys, the fans will break down and the audience will cry.
In the quarter-finals, RNG had drawn the Destiny lottery, and its own strength was one of the favorites to win the championship.
It really became the only hope for the LPL division this year!
Break through the top eight with the best results in recent years, and even win the Bird's Nest Finals that everyone dared not dream of!
So predictable.
From this day on, RNG's reputation rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, absorbing all the support that originally belonged to WE to itself.
became the Son of Destiny.
Old vampire + Destiny's Child.
the other side.
With the end of the group stage, the draw for the quarter-finals ended.
The S game, which has been fighting fiercely for more than half a month, has also entered a short offseason.
After everyone in EDG returned to the hotel, the coaching team began to watch the LZ game video overnight, and made targeted BP and tactics.
The players were given the day off the next day.
It's not that they are lax.
In fact, EDG is definitely one of the hardest teams in this year's S competition group stage!
Think about it, from 0/3 to 4/3, what did they go through?
To say it was a trip to hell is not an exaggeration.
Long-term mental stress and physical stress all need to be buffered and released.
That's why I had this short vacation.
But for Xu Cheng, life after becoming famous is doomed to have no holidays.
This morning, he was specially invited by the officials to shoot the promotional video for the opening ceremony of the quarterfinals and record his personal VCR.
In the middle, I also took a small advertisement for the official.
After eating at the official's at noon, I just returned to the hotel when I was called into the room by Ed Zhu.
Xu Cheng knew.
The price increase I mentioned last time is finally about to be implemented...
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and walked into the room.
Found that the boss Ed Zhu and Abu are here.
Next to him was an assistant who hadn't seen him at the club before.
"Come here, Cheng Cheng, sit down quickly."
Abu stood up with a smile, called Xu Cheng to sit down, and asked, "Are you tired this morning?"
"It's okay, it's just a simple shot of some material."
Sitting opposite Xu Cheng, Abu asked curiously, "How is it? Do you still get used to the feeling of getting angry?"
"Hmm..." Xu Cheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It feels like there are more people paying attention to me than before, it's okay..."
"It's more than that."
Abu shook his head and looked at the boss next to him.
It turned out that Ed Zhu had already stood up and sat down beside Xu Cheng.
Clutching his hands: "I've watched all the games these days. You played really well. After we finish talking, remember to sign for me."
Xu Cheng: "..."
Abu: "..."
It has long been heard that Edzhu is very "simple" in private, especially to Ming Kai, he is simply a piece of iron pig.
Now it seems…
Xu Cheng also successfully conquered the opponent in several matches.
After Ming Kai, the second living ancestor of EDG.
Xu Cheng was not used to the boss being so affectionate to him, so he nodded and said, "If the boss thinks it's okay, I'll directly sign in batches and make some contributions to the club."
? ? !
Are you a business genius?
"No, no, that's tiring. Our club doesn't require this." Edzhu shook his head quickly.
Abu was speechless and funny.
At the same time, I am also a little emotional.
This is EDG.
In some cases, the boss is actually no different from a fan.
"Then Chengcheng, you should be clear about the purpose of our calling you here today. We will not be courteous. Take a look at this contract. If you have any questions, talk to them face to face."
"The boss brought all the legal consultants today, and he will provide you with legal assistance throughout the whole process, or you can ask him if you don't understand anything."
Abu pointed to the black suit standing next to him, and handed Xu Cheng a contract.
Because the RNG contract was playing tricks at home, EDG was obviously worried that Xu Cheng might have misunderstood something, so they directly brought in the legal counsel.
Xu Cheng took the contract.
In fact, the club's contracts are similar.
Except for individual clubs who will cause trouble, teams like EDG that even give transfer fees to players will not make a fuss about these.
Xu Cheng took a look, and was finally attracted by the most important number that everyone cared about——
annual salary.
The sign on the contract is very clear, 1500 million a year.
1500……
still a year...
An average of 125 million per month...
Real monthly income of millions?
Xu Cheng raised his head and looked at the people in the room with some astonishment and bewilderment.
"This...boss, manager, this annual salary..."
"What? Do you think it's less?" Ed Zhu asked first.
"No...not less." Xu Cheng blinked: "This money... is more than I imagined."
Far more than imagined.
What Xu Cheng signed before was actually the highest-paying contract for a rookie.
But that contract, compared with the current one that is truly the world's top contract, there is a big gap, the difference between cloud and mud.
Even if he knew that his worth had risen now, Xu Cheng never dreamed that he would directly reach 1500 million.
Don't underestimate the 1500 million.
Not to mention that Xu Cheng is a new player who has just debuted for half a year without any honors or achievements.
Just use the annual salary of the entire LPL division as a measure.
The annual salary given by EDG has also reached the ceiling.
To know…
The so-called annual salary of 3000 million or 4000 million for the top players that everyone is familiar with is extremely deceptive.
These annual salaries are based on the star player's live broadcast contract income, plus a few years' salary, all counted, it is just a gimmick announced to the outside world.
For example, a world-class mid laner advertises that his annual salary is 3000 million.
In fact, he signed a contract for three years, a total of 3000 million.
Calculated separately, it is only 1000 million per year.
This is still the annual salary of LPL close to the ceiling.
Looking back at Xu Cheng's contract, you will know how much EDG gave.
1500 million a year, 4500 million in three years!
Comparable to those first-team soul-level figures who have played for four or five years!
EDG...This is directly treating Xu Cheng as the top of the LPL, and even one of the biggest cards in the future!
Xu Cheng felt a little touched in his heart.
1500 million, these are all white money.
"A lot? It's okay." Ed Zhu thought for a while, nodded and said, "I think you are worth the price."
"Chengcheng, EDG will never treat their own people badly. We have been together for so long. Although we usually train you very strictly and have various rules, it is all for your own good... Some children must be taken care of. So as not to develop bad habits. You should understand this."
Abu also said emotionally: "Actually, we can give you a lot less in this contract, but...it's not necessary. Everyone thinks you can, and I think so too."
"Look again, you can take it back, anyway, just make a decision within a few days."
Ed Zhu nodded: "Yes, we will continue to work hard next year. At that time, I will win support players and strengthen the bottom lane. Then we will hit the S game!"
Xu Cheng nodded, then was a little dazed again.
How does he feel...
Ed Zhu said this so awkwardly...
Try harder next year?
They haven't been eliminated this year, why don't they work hard this year?
However, the atmosphere was harmonious at this time, and Xu Cheng didn't ask much.
Ten minutes later, Xu Cheng and Abu walked out of the room together.
"Congratulations, from now on, you are a multi-millionaire."
Abu looked at Xu Cheng gratifiedly, and was in a good mood: "You are such a young multi-millionaire, I am afraid that you will never meet the purest love again..."
"..."
Xu Cheng hesitated to speak.
"Hahaha, okay, let's go, go back to training, your contract is settled, no matter what happens this year, I am full of confidence that we will hit the World Championship next year!"
"That..." Xu Cheng asked: "Why do you say that you will work hard next year? Haven't we been eliminated yet?"
Abu was stunned, and then smiled helplessly: "To be honest, when we fight LZ, we... are not very optimistic about it internally. Everyone has already made the worst plan. Don't worry, I will give the boss a vaccination in advance. gone."
"If we can sign you, we still have a chance and a future."
Xu Cheng opened his mouth.
But don't know what to say.
Not everyone can predict the future.
Before the game started, LZ was recognized as the strongest team in the world and the favorite to win the championship.
This is an indisputable fact!
In the end, Xu Cheng could only say: "As long as I am in EDG, I will play every game seriously."
"Well, I believe you." Abu didn't think too deeply.
Xu Cheng's words were not just words.
The treatment and trust given to him by EDG are something that Xu Cheng has never had before.
EDG is also the enlightenment team of his career.
There are his best friends here, and more importantly, he has a good management team.
and so…
He really wants to bring something to himself and the team, including his teammates and the boss.
"What do you think?"
A Bu shook his hand towards Xu Cheng.
"Oh, I was wondering what would happen if we won the championship."
"Huh...ah?" Abu was taken aback.
To win the championship?
Abu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's a ghost to win the championship. If the current LPL breaks through to the quarterfinals, the whole country will probably explode. Let's think about how to play the quarterfinals."
Seeing that Xu Cheng didn't answer, he joked again: "If you really win the championship, then... among other things, you know the identity of the boss, right?"
"When the time comes, each person in Guangzhou will have a sea view room, and the arrangement will be clear."
"How about I apply in person?"
Won a suite in Guangzhou.
This has always been a joke within the EDG team.
But everyone knows that if that day comes, Edzhu has the strength and courage to send out a few suites.
About the identity of the owner Ed Zhu...
Xu Cheng heard about it when he didn't join EDG.
After joining EDG, it became clearer.
Guangzhou, which is the venue for this year's quarter-finals, is definitely Edzhu's home base.
Many high-end properties were developed by his own family.
"Okay, then I'm going to pick a set of building king position, please make a reservation for me first."
Xu Cheng suddenly laughed and looked at Abu.
"Oh? Alright, I'll go to the boss to apply later." Abu raised his eyebrows, and bumped fists with Xu Cheng.
"Okay, I'm off to work. I'm on vacation today. I've been tired for half a month. You should also take a rest."
"it is good."
The two separate.
Xu Cheng walked out of the hotel alone, looking up at the blue sky.
The sun is glaring and the weather is fine today.
A feeling like yesterday arises spontaneously.
1500...
With feet on the ground, there is an erratic and illusory feeling.
How many games has he played?
In total, half a year of career can be ignored.
Speaking of which, it was these four group games that earned an annual salary of 1500 million.
Perhaps many people find it incredible, or even unbelievable.
It's just a simple four games, and it will be such a high value.
perhaps…
This is one of the biggest charms of the S game.
One operation, one game is enough for an unknown player to soar into the sky and travel around the world.
This is just the group stage, if you play well in more critical games.
That would be enough to change a player's life.
Standing there for a while, Xu Cheng looked at the streets where people were coming and going.
Suddenly I don't know what to do.
Without training, without competition, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.
He wanted to find his teammates to stay for a while, but today his teammates went shopping with their relatives and friends.
The factory manager accompanied his girlfriend and family.
Meiko and the others also have their own relatives and friends to accompany them.
He alone seemed a little lonely.
Where is my family?
Xu Cheng flashed this thought.
During this period of time, I have been busy with the game and have little contact with my family.
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to contact his parents and tell them...he had achieved some results.
