You are number one in the world, do you have to be obsessed with the whole job?

Chapter 217 S8 Complete Victory!Invincible EDG! 【Ask monthly ticket】

"A dozen more times? What do you think I am? A god?"

Xu Cheng couldn't hold back anymore.

Are these Bs really using him as a wall hanging?

More than a dozen times of MVP... What kind of killing is this?

"We believe in you, you can do it."

Tian Ye said seriously.

The rest also nodded.

Xu Cheng opened his mouth, just when he wanted to continue talking with his teammates.

Abu came over and informed: "Chengzi, get ready and go to the LPL interview booth for an interview."

Hearing this, Xu Cheng was not chatting with his teammates either, he stood up and prepared to go out with the leader.

"Eh."

Mieko next to him suddenly pulled him back.

"what happened?"

Xu Cheng looked back at Tianye, and found that his teammates were all looking at him strangely.

"I have flowers on my face?" Xu Cheng was puzzled and touched his face.

Smooth skin...well, handsome as ever.

"No, we want to tell you that there are rumors about you and Yu Shuang outside these days, so you should be careful in your words and deeds!"

"Who said it was a rumor, maybe it's true." Scout expressed a different opinion.

The other teammates were stunned.

"...!"

Xu Cheng's head was full of black lines.

In fact, regarding his "girlfriend" news, besides Rita Xiaoyu, Yu Shuang also has some "fans".

It was reported more than once when S7 won the championship.

When he publicly "confessed" Rita's daughters on the night of S7's Bird's Nest championship, someone Yu Shuang knew Xu Cheng much earlier than Rita.

The two are still "siblings".

Fortunately, it didn't take long for everyone to be attracted by the All-Star voting and the All-Star Game.

for a whole year thereafter.

Since Xu Cheng's personal popularity and traffic have remained high, it tends to be stronger than S7, and the scandal about Xu Cheng has never stopped!

Rita Xiaoyu Yushuang These are light.

Because of his cooperation with Dou Sha in his later live broadcasts, he would take sisters from time to time, like a silly little girl, Tuantuan...

These big anchors and small anchors, famous and not famous, have all played.

This has led to a large number of female anchors or female anchor commentators who have been rumored to have an affair with him.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, although Xu Cheng thought about it, he never really did it!
How can there be so many!

Werewolves can't stand it!

"All right, all right, don't talk nonsense, it's nothing."

Abu came over to teach each of them one by one, and then led Xu Cheng to the door.

He exhorted earnestly:

"Chengzi, although we don't object to your falling in love now, but now is a critical period. After S8, you can talk as you like, but don't make trouble during this period..."

"You know how important this S match is to us."

Xu Cheng returned a look that I understood, and walked to the front desk with the team leader.

Abu looked very complicated.

Do you really understand?

Xu Cheng really understood...

This year's S game is indeed very important to EDG, even as important as last year's S7.

If we say that last year, EDG stood out among a hundred schools of thought, and the rookie took the throne.

Then they in S8, while defending their supreme glory, are also launching an impact towards the peak of history!

In the history of the league, there is only one team that can truly be remembered by the history books——

SKT!

Because SKT has defended the S game championship twice in a row, and because they have won the S game championship three times!
This is a well-deserved number one.

Even though SKT has already declined this year, they didn't even advance to the S game.

But this still cannot conceal their status and supreme glory in the history of the league.

EDG's goal…

It is comparable to SKT, or even surpassed!
This year's S8...is the key to whether they can achieve this goal!

Come to the interview booth at the front desk, because this is South Korea, and the LPL division is no longer the main interview booth.But the traffic and popularity are still the most in the audience.

The main reason is that Xu Cheng is here!

As soon as he showed up, the camera captured Xu Cheng.

The audience at the scene had screamed and shouted uncontrollably.

"Buddha!!"

"Murder!! Murder!!"

"Ouba! Xu Cheng Ouba!!"

Xu Cheng waved to the audience in the audience.

Then came to Yu Shuang's side.

Auntie had a smile on her face, but there was something complicated in her eyes.

Concentrate your mind and look at the camera:
"Welcome to the post-match interview session of the 2018 Global Finals group stage. This time we invited EDG's top laner... I believe everyone is already familiar with him."

"Murder, say hi to everyone."

Xu Cheng said, "Hi everyone, I'm EDG's top laner, Murder."

The cheers off the court grew louder.

"Wow... as enthusiastic as ever."

Yu Shuang exclaimed: "This situation makes me feel a little dazed. Different places, different times, but the same overwhelming popularity..."

"I'm in South Korea, and the popularity of Murder is still the same. How do you feel about the atmosphere? If I remember correctly, this is your first time to play an S game in another country... Do you have any different feelings?"

Playing an S game in another country for the first time...

Since S7 is held in mainland China.

That's true.

Xu Cheng thought for a while and said, "Actually, the time difference is only an hour away, so it doesn't feel too special... The Korean audience is very enthusiastic, and it's the first time I know...I'm abroad, and I have so many fans..."

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Oppa!!"

"We will always support you!!"

Many Korean viewers couldn't understand Xu Cheng's words, but fortunately, the interviews were broadcast live at the same time, and the translators in the comment section would also translate for them simultaneously.

So because of Xu Cheng's inadvertent words, the scene in Busan fell into a burst of jubilation again.

There was a lot of commotion, which attracted the attention of the audience and staff in the nearby interview booths.

"So I was interviewing player Murder..."

LCK main interview chair.

The host, Jin Minwo gaigai, was wearing a delicate pleated skirt with light makeup on her face. When she saw that the direction of the commotion was the place where Xu Cheng was being interviewed, she was a little surprised.

I'm looking forward to it again.

"I don't know when I will be able to interview Murder again... I have never had a chance..."

"It will be soon. In fact, the MVP should have been interviewed by our chairman."

The staff next to me were very depressed.

He is also a fan of Xu Cheng, and he is waiting for Xu Cheng to come over for an interview and ask him for an autograph.

"Then let us look forward to it together."

Kim Min, I didn't say much.

Because of their interview, it also started...

the other side.

Yu Shuang asked several questions one after another.

The last question was asked: "Everyone knows that EDG and Murder players have gained a lot of glory this year."

"Among them, Murder won the gold medal in the Asian Games..."

"Someone deliberately calculated and found that among Murder's current personal honors, in all the competitions this year, he is only short of one S championship, and he can achieve the highest achievement of being the first Grand Slam player in history."

"I want to ask you, what do you think about this matter, do you have the confidence to accomplish this goal that no one has ever achieved in history?"

Do you have the confidence to complete this first grand slam achievement in history....
As soon as this problem came out.

The noisy scene gradually quieted down.

Pairs of eyes unconsciously fell on Xu Cheng who was under the spotlight.

grand slam...

First in history...

These few words undoubtedly do not stimulate the attention of audiences around the world.

This is also one of the biggest highlights of this year's S competition.

It's like an S9IG from another world.

After a year, EDG is not like the previous S-game champion teams, and it has shown a certain decline.

On the contrary, the state has been kept very hot, and the upward momentum is obvious.

"Um……"

on the stage.

Xu Cheng pondered for a while, then picked up the microphone while the audience was watching.

"Actually, personally, I think this is indeed a difficult feat and achievement...As for whether I have the confidence to accomplish this goal...I think I have this confidence and will try my best to complete this goal... ...!"

Everyone doesn't want to hear what happened next.

The first two sentences Xu Cheng spoke already gave the answer.

Have the confidence to complete the first Grand Slam achievement in history!
This is enough!

There were terrifying cheers from the audience, and even some LCK spectators had to admit it.

Murder, who has one more Asian Games gold medal than Faker, really achieved an unprecedented feat... Well, to be precise, it was an opportunity to complete this feat.

Of course, the premise is that he can really win this year's S8 championship and achieve the achievement of defending the double crown!

"Wow... I have the confidence to complete it. It seems that Murder is still very confident in himself."

"Young spirit, boldness, I believe that many people, like me, will firmly believe that you can accomplish this final goal."

Yu Shuang let out a wow, and the interview officially ended.

Said: "So...thank you for watching this post-match interview, let us congratulate EDG again, we have a good start in the opening game with S8, thank you Murder for accepting the interview, let's see you in the next game...!"

In the conclusion, the director's camera gradually zoomed out.

This post-match interview is over.

Xu Cheng returned to the backstage, and his teammates also finished the interviews one after another and returned to the waiting room.

Everyone tidied up and did not leave the arena immediately, but prepared to stay at the scene and watch the subsequent games.

Today they are the first show in the opening game. In addition to their schedule, there are still five games to play.

……

at the same time.

When everyone in EDG was preparing to watch the match of the team.

outside world.

The battle reports and results of the opening match of the 2018 Global Finals group stage were finally released.

EDG vs. AFS, 1/0 is neat, win!
This news is like a tornado, sweeping across the world's major competition areas at an extremely fast speed.

The media forums in the major competition areas around the world reported it immediately.

Countless viewers and fans who were looking forward to the result of this game also had their own sorrows and joys.

[EDG! !As expected of the defending champion, awesome! ! 】

[Buddha is too handsome! !Sword Demon! !Go ahead and chop! 】

[Ask if you don't understand, what level is this sword demon? 】

【The world's first level! 】

【Invincible level! 】

[1/0, a good start!Keep winning, win the championship! ! 】

[Xiba, the performance of AFS is really hard to describe in words, this opening match is like being forcibly fed a bunch of Xiang! 】

[I can't imagine that in the local Korean arena, AFS would play like this dog, ha ha! 】

[I said it a long time ago, the LPL is no longer the LPL of the past, but there are still many people who have always underestimated this competition area. 】

[Wrong, it's not LPL that is strong, only EDG! 】

[No, no, it's not EDG that is strong, only Murder! 】

[Isn't Murder us Korean? 】

[...! 】

There was a lot of discussion, and the abuse and praise happened in different competition areas.

The audience and players in China are naturally very happy, because EDG is the team that everyone is most looking forward to this year.

Similarly, if EDG can win the championship again this year, the effect will be completely different from another LPL team winning the championship!

One is to win the championship, and the other is to defend the championship!

For today's debut performance and EDG's performance, everyone is obviously very satisfied and excited.

It's different in Korea.

People are at home and their heads are beaten into dog heads, what should we do?
Waiting online, very anxious!

Well known.

The home buff is a wonderful thing.

He can sometimes increase your combat effectiveness several times.

Sometimes, it can put you in an embarrassing situation.

That is having to win the game.

For example, in last year's S7, teams in the LPL division, as long as they lost a game at home, no matter whether it was the group stage or the play-in stage, they would be criticized.

That posture was more ruthless than being eliminated.

This is understandable.

Otherwise, how could there be such a saying as home buff?
Not only did the LCK team lose this time, but they also lost in the opening game, which was watched by hundreds of millions of people.

Needless to say, the impact and sensation it caused.

The local public opinion in South Korea is directly frying the pan.

On the hot search list and in the forums, there are viewers and fans who are swearing at AFS everywhere.

"How could they do this!"

The manager of AFS was very aggrieved by this, and yelled aggrievedly: "They were so supportive of us before the game! Why did they turn their faces and deny us as soon as we lost a game!"

"It's okay to turn around. I didn't expect their language to be so vicious...it's unacceptable." The coach also murmured.

But after speaking, both of them were stunned.

Look at each other.

They both saw some kind of emotion in each other's eyes.

Yes…

S8 is different from other events.

This is the S game held at their home stadium in South Korea...

It seems that the outside audience pay more attention to S8 than they imagined!
"The next game... we must play hard!" said the supervisor.

"Ok!"

The two nodded.

"EDG is the biggest opponent in our group, we must study them thoroughly, we can't continue to lose!"

The coach and the manager didn't speak, and they had already started to look for EDG's past game videos and other materials.

In the next game, they will not lose to EDG again!

……

The schedule of the first day of the group stage is still very exciting and compact.

In the next game, several teams made appearances one after another.

Each has its winners and losers, but the fights are back and forth, which is very enjoyable.

It was not until 2018 o'clock in the evening (Korean time) that the schedule of the first day of the [-] Global Finals group stage came to an end.

Everyone in EDG watched the game all afternoon, and they were all so hungry that they ate a big meal after taking the car back.

Xu Cheng left the team alone and got together with Rita and the girls.

Nothing to say that night.

The next day.

The intense group matches continued.

EDG didn't have a match schedule today, so I didn't go to the venue. I just watched a few important games in the hotel, and then started to do targeted training.

On the third day, EDG had two games with unabated momentum and won all of them.

Also tonight, after the game, the exciting first round of the group stage officially came to an end.

The points and rankings of the four major groups are also basically stable.

From then on, it can be roughly seen which team will advance and which team will be eliminated.

Of course…

No one can guarantee 100% that they will be able to advance.

After all, in S7, there were two theoretical qualifying records.

But according to normal logic, the first round of the group stage has actually decided the fate of a large part of the team.

Among them, the performance of the LPL teams is mixed.

IG performed exceptionally well in the first round of the group stage, achieving a 3/0 record.

RNG is 2/1.

EDG is also 3/0, occupying the first place in the group.

Such exaggerated and dazzling results have surprised and excited the commentators and audiences in all major competitions around the world.

EDG3/0, this is very amazing news.

This means that they have a high probability of appearing as the number one in the group stage!
At that time, opponents with weak points may not be able to advance to the semi-finals, or even the finals, to compete for the S8 championship!
The performances of the other two teams were equally impressive.

A 2/1, a 3/0...

What is it, the teams in the LPL division are so dazzling in the first round of the group stage?

You must know that last year, EDG still started with 0/3...

This series of dazzling data has also made many people gradually realize.

The LPL division... seems to have really become stronger than before.

After the end of S7, many people felt that the LPL division is not yet the first division, and that EDG can win the championship only because EDG is a strong team.

Up to now, many people still have this concept and view.

But at the end of the first round of the group stage, the results of the three teams in the LPL division were released. It has to be admitted that the other two teams in the LPL are not as stretched as everyone imagined.

At least in the first round of the group stage, their performance was remarkable.

The popularity of S8 in China has soared suddenly, and it even surpassed the enthusiasm of the group stage in S7!

South Korea, which is the home of the S game, is even more out of control.

After three days of preparation and fermentation, the topic and popularity of the 2018 Global Finals have shown an irreversible trend.

Big waves are rolling in, news of S8 is everywhere!
The scene feels familiar.

Quite a bit of the embryonic form of the S7 phenomenal period...

Could it be that the S8 will also be a phenomenon?
The insiders who noticed this were shocked and felt their brains were dizzy.

The phenomenon-level popularity of S7 is created by many aspects, and it is recognized as the most classic S game that cannot be copied...

But how can the S8 copy the S7?
In terms of the right time, place and people, the S8 seems to be unable to compare with the S7.

There is only one reason why all this can be done now——

Compared with the previous S competitions, especially after S7EDG won the championship, today's S8 has far surpassed any previous S competitions in terms of attention and popularity!
In comparison, the gap is several times, even ten times!

Completed the sling from the positive data!
The new audience attracted last year...too many!

Now these audiences have all become the most loyal fans of the S game!
An official data engineer analyzed it in this way.

It has been recognized by many senior executives inside the fist.

So ever.

Fist and Penguin kept up with the current events and began to operate skillfully—crazy momentum!

Resources don't need money, and the momentum and battles are also wave after wave.

After the grand opening of the second round of the group stage, the attention of S8 has widened several times from the previous first round of the group stage!

The outside world is full of specific information about the major teams of S8, and the close-up scenes of the solo albums of various star players. It makes people feel that the second round of the group stage and the first round of the group stage are completely two-level competitions!

The stage is getting bigger and bigger, the spotlight is getting brighter and brighter...

In this expectation.

The second round of the 2018 Global Finals Group Stage has officially begun!
