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

Chapter 95 I also want to give EDG a stage 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

8 month 22 number.

A deformed version appeared that affected the entire history of League of Legends.

To be precise, not long ago, news about the change of the S game version had spread throughout the professional circle.

Today, it has basically fermented to the point where everyone inside and outside the circle knows it.

Censer version.

What kind of version is this?
To put it in the simplest terms——

The bottom lane is the only core and way to determine the outcome of the game, there is no one.

That's right, the incense burner version is the most deformed bot lane version in history.

Its deformity even reached an unbelievable level.

Any team that is not strong in the bottom lane will not be able to survive in this version.

this time.

According to the folk version of the incense burner, the A monster who became famous in the first battle of Hanbok was even exaggerated to the point that Faker and many other star players thought it was cheating, and reported it to the official in public.

This incident once caused a sensation inside and outside the entire circle.

It also made Monster A, another newcomer after Xu Cheng's "Data Monster", become a superstar during this period.

Looking at the momentum, it seems that Xu Cheng's statistics in Pengci's year were strange, shoulder to shoulder.

Of course, compared to these, the professional team paid more attention to the terrifying influence of the incense burner version on the game.

Such as EDG.

If it was changed to before, and the S game came to the bottom lane version, then EDG would definitely laugh crazy.

Because EDG itself is the team that plays the bottom lane, such a deformed bottom lane enhancement in the incense burner version is simply a godsend opportunity for EDG.

But the problem is, now the EDG bot lane is the weakest version in history!

Although it has been decided long ago, when the newcomer Hu Xianzhao is old enough, he will play immediately.

But a rookie... can he compare to those old fritters teams?

More importantly, in this version, EDG's painstaking and painstaking upper-core system is basically abolished after the incense burner version is confirmed!
The former is a version that must be played as the core of the bot lane, which is the only way to win the game.

If the top lane is the core, it is completely playing the game in the reverse version.

What should I do?
The sudden change caught everyone by surprise.

"Why don't you practice the version of the incense burner for oranges from now on?"

conference room.

Tian Ye made a suggestion.

But it was immediately rejected by everyone——

The reason why Xu Cheng has everything he has today, including the treatment given to him by EDG, is because of his unique style of play.

In other words, what I bought was a sharp knife, and now you turn the knife into wood?

This is no longer a question of change, it is a matter of changing categories.

The version is not fixed, but the players are always there.

This version is a deformed version of the incense burner, which does not mean that the next version will be the same, there will always be a version on the road.

And... there is one more thing that no one has said.

Now that the battle for the S7 spot has reached the final stage, Xu Cheng has practiced the upper core for the entire summer split, no matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to re-adjust to the new system with EDG in such a short period of time.

"...Then what should we do?"

The coaching staff was also very worried at the moment, and Ming Kai couldn't sleep all night.

He thought that all kinds of accidents would happen, but he didn't expect that he would encounter the deformed version made by the government in the end.

"It's okay, I just wanted to say that after the intercontinental competition, I feel that I need to improve. Recently, I will practice and adapt myself."

At this time, Xu Cheng took the initiative to say a word.

Give everyone a step.

He had deliberately learned about this version not long ago and knew how outrageous it was.

So, at the moment this version is set, EDG has no choice. If the incense burner version does not play bot lane, isn't that tantamount to suicide?
The reason why everyone in EDG is so entangled now represents their attitude——

After the intercontinental competition, everyone focused on Xu Cheng's debut in the S competition.

They have paved all the way for Xu Cheng from the perspective of rationality, sensibility, and even personal feelings.

Just give up like this, they are not reconciled.

After all, to be honest, EDG is the one who most wants to see Xu Cheng stand on top of the world, shining brightly!
But at this fatal time point, this fatal version appeared.

In the final sprint of S7, the whole team worked hard for a year, and waited for 6 years...

That being the case, Xu Cheng won such a high salary and treatment from others, so he must not embarrass everyone.

Sure enough, upon hearing what he said, the face of the coaching staff relaxed a bit, only Ming Kai and a few teammates looked a little dull.

"It's okay, I really have some insights recently, Ming Kai, you should know, right?"

Xu Cheng smiled and looked at the factory manager.

Hearing the sound, the factory manager nodded.

What Xu Cheng said was true.

The international competitions have obviously trained and improved the personal knowledge and strength of the players.

Especially a genius like Xu Cheng who is already highly talented.

Since the end of the last intercontinental match against Smeb, Xu Cheng clearly felt that he still has room for improvement.

The ultimate in offense, the ultimate in laning, this is his pursuit.

He can clearly perceive that if he continues to move forward according to his own style, he will definitely become stronger.

At that time, if you fight against Smeb again, it will not be just a normal suppression, but a real threading crush.

After reaching that kind of strength, is it still an irreversible version?

This year's version is very deformed, and Xu Cheng himself is not clear about it.

But he is willing to try.

"Okay, let's settle this matter first, but you can rest assured, Chengcheng, that the club's treatment for you will not change in any way... In fact, a new contract has been prepared for you a long time ago. You can sign it if you see that it's all right. .”

Abramovich made the final decision, and even handed over the club's newly prepared higher-standard contract to Xu Cheng.

"The version will always end, but the player's style is forever."

"manager…"

Xu Cheng hesitated to speak.

"Let's not talk about it, it's settled."

Abu waved his hands, then looked out of the window, and said worriedly: "This time the version is confirmed... It is estimated that many teams will be cold."

……

Abramovich is right, many teams are going to die.

EDG is actually okay. For the sake of being conservative this season, they have always adopted a dual-system rotation, just to prevent such unexpected situations.

But other teams are different.

In the following time, with the start of the playoffs, the incense burner version unleashed unprecedented malice towards players in other positions, especially those players with extremely strong personal abilities.

In the semi-finals of the playoffs, the Snake team, which has always been the core of the top lane, was under the aspect of the incense burner version. No matter how strong the personal ability of the Holy Gun, it was a pity that the curtain ended and was eliminated by the opponent.

Bid farewell to my S7 in advance.

Not long after, IG in the bubbling match was still unable to stop WE's pace despite the outstanding personal ability of the new top laner TheShy.

Taking the weak bot Xiaoxi as a breakthrough point, he was eliminated in the end.

There is also an old acquaintance in the outer competition area, the former world's number one top laner Smeb who just had a decisive battle with Xu Cheng not long ago.

The results of the playoffs were once very hip, and in the bubbling match, they even directly lost to Samsung, which had been brutally abused by them before.

The fall of the galaxy warship shocked the whole world.

Examples of this abound all over the world.

The badness of the incense burner version has already affected everyone.

It also caused fans of countless teams during this period, including countless spectators who were expecting Xu Cheng to shine in S7, to yell at him.

[I'm just wondering, what do the Riot designers think?Why did such a disgusting version come out? 】

[I'm really sick, I played ranked today, and I was met by the opponent's cannon for a second. Is this an AD or an assassin? 】

[Smeb and KT are both cold, it's over... this time Buddha is going to send it too! 】

[Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[I really sent it. To be honest, this broken version did not leave a way for players in other positions. The middle lane is better, but the top lane is really not taken seriously. 】

【It's all Guan Zeyuan's fault! ! 】

[EDG is already on Ah Guang, it's definitely going to be the incense burner version, everyone, let's go. 】

[Although... I don't care about winning or losing the game, I just want to watch the operation, isn't that okay? 】

[?Now you say you don't care about winning or losing the game, but when you lose, you'll be the one who spouts the most, right? 】

[...! 】

Of course, the incense burner version has both disadvantages and advantages.

With the end of the intense playoffs, he got a new AD, and practiced hard on the incense burner version of EDG, his results soared all the way.

In the end, it was directly approaching the 2017 LPL Summer Finals.

Join Wukesong Stadium with another best beneficiary of the incense burner version, the epic-level enhanced RNG!
On the night of the finals, Xu Cheng was in the lounge and did not play, but he could still feel the passionate atmosphere of the scene through the bursts of cheers coming from the front.

While fascinated, EDG suffered two kneelings one after another.

Just when Xu Cheng was in a daze, thinking that EDG was going to be cold.

Unexpectedly, the most shocking scene in the history of LPL was staged——

EDG actually let the second chase the third!
After losing two games first, when it was almost certain to lose, he turned defeat into victory. The blessing of the incense burner version + second-level grabs directly confused RNG, who also played the bottom lane.

Xu Cheng was also dumbfounded.

It wasn't until this time that he deepened his understanding of the outrageous version of the incense burner.

This version is really abnormal, but EDG played really well today.

Whoever uses it well can win the game, even if you are facing Uzi, no exception.

And even though he didn't play this time, Xu Cheng was very happy to see Ming Kai and the others win the cup.

What he didn't expect was that when accepting the championship speech, the factory manager said to the camera: "I think we should also thank everyone in our club."

"The coaching staff, Abramovich... including Murder's performance this year, has greatly helped our summer results. This championship also has their share."

The words fell, and the scene exploded.

Countless EDG fans shouted excitedly.

In the eyes of EDG fans and even outside audiences, Xu Cheng is a true genius boy.

His popularity is very high, even if he does not play, it does not prevent everyone from liking and supporting him.

Xu Cheng shook his head, complaining that while Ming Kai started working again, he was more urgent to improve his own strength.

Back at the hotel, Xu Cheng practiced more...but failed.

……

That night, Xu Cheng was forcibly pulled out of the room by everyone, and he celebrated with everyone before giving up.

The factory manager was very drunk that night, and he dragged Xu Cheng to babble non-stop: "Brother, I have been daring to be alone with you for the past few days, because I broke my promise, and I feel guilty..."

"But brother, don't worry, this year's S competition, I will definitely give you a chance to play, sure, you believe me, I said I would take you to the S competition, and I will definitely take you there..."

"……you're drunk."

Xu Cheng patted the factory manager on the back and signaled for others to send him back.

"Chengzi, don't be discouraged. We've made up our minds and will fight for you to play. It's not for anything else. The main reason is that the system that has been practiced in the past six months is so useless. Everyone is unwilling."

Tian Ye also said something seriously.

Ah Guang didn't speak, just nodded to Xu Cheng.

He has been paving the way for Xu Cheng, and EDG has already introduced him to a new club, and the treatment is better than here. If it wasn't for the reason of the version, he might have left long ago.

"Come on, S7 is about to start."

Xu Cheng smiled and waved his hands.

In fact, his teammates were completely overwhelmed, not to mention the various preferential treatment given to him by EDG, even the club's care for him since his debut, it is impossible for him to think about it because of the version.

"It's good that you're fine, everyone is worried about you recently..."

Tian Ye nodded, then exhaled lightly, and looked into the dark night:

"Yeah, S7 is about to start..."

……

After EDG confirmed that it was the No. [-] seed in this year's LPL division, a few days later, the quotas for all major divisions around the world have basically been settled.

In early September, the 9 LPL Summer Finals ended.

Then all kinds of tidbits before the S game, interviews with players, opening ceremony promotional video, shooting promotional materials, etc. related work before the opening of the S game began.

At the end of each year, the majestic atmosphere unique to the S race, the intense and busy, gradually swept the entire professional circle.

Been so busy for half a month.

On September 9, the finalists for the 23 Global Finals officially started.

A week later, the play-in round ended.

That is to say, on this day, all the heroes gather, and the world's attention is focused on Wuhan.

Because the end of the qualifying round also indicates that the main match of the S group stage, which everyone in the world has been looking forward to for a whole year, is coming...

The legendary journey is about to begin!
December 2017, 10.

this day.

Countless Chinese audiences, teams, players, and fans have been waiting for 6 years for the home game, the biggest S game in history, the 2017 Global Finals group stage, the main match, and the official opening!
Everyone in EDG packed up their equipment and got on the bus to Wuhan Sports Center.

Along the way, I felt anxious and excited.

Because during this period of time, the official and the media have worked together to create momentum, and the S7 seems to have not started the fire.

And then the scenes they saw along the way were indeed shocking.

Outside the stadium, there are dense crowds, and the alleys are empty.

Almost [-]% to [-]% came to support their EDG!
On the streets, the bus stop signs, the LED lights of the major Internet cafes, and even the streets are densely packed with spectators with stickers on their faces supporting the team.

These audiences, some with blonde hair and blue eyes, some with brown pupils, and some with Asian faces, spoke different languages—

This scene, since the warm-up of the S7 finalists, has already become the norm in Wuhan.

This year's S7 is so big and grand that before the official opening of the race, it has already exploded.

There was no need for any embellishment, an atmosphere unique only to the World Championship had already rushed over.

"This...is the home field advantage." Rao Abu couldn't help sighing at this moment.

"Guigui, I heard Xiye and the others say that Wuhan is very explosive, I didn't expect it to be so explosive..."

"This scale never existed before when we played games abroad."

Tian Ye was equally amazed, but at the same time felt a little flustered inexplicably, an indescribable feeling...

"After all, it's the first home game in seven years. It's normal." The factory manager didn't notice this, and said with a smile.

Everyone nodded.

After 7 years of waiting for the home stadium, it is no wonder that the audience and officials are so enthusiastic.

Playing on a stage of this level is a worthy career!

"Let's go, let's go."

At this time, the bus also arrived at the gate of Wuhan Sports Center.

Everyone got off the car one by one and walked into the venue.

Preparations for the opening match began.

……

Since EDG is the No. [-] seed in this year's LPL China Division, the so-called leading brother.

Therefore, today's S7 opening match, which is attracting hundreds of millions of people, will be played by them.

This is also the tradition of the S game——

In the opening game, the No. [-] seed in the home division will face the weakest opponent in the group.

It means getting off to a good start, which is very humane.

EDG's opponent in today's opening game is AHQ, the weakest team in Group A.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, after the opening ceremony that brought together all the giants from all over the world.

Everyone in EDG is already in battle.

Xu Cheng watched the battle in the waiting room.

Before the game, almost no one thought that there would be surprises in this game——

After all, AHQ is only the second seed in the Bay Area, and the AHQ team has a very good relationship with EDG. It can be regarded as a brother team, and in international competitions, AHQ has always been called EDG's son.

It means that when you meet EDG, you will get points steadily.

The official opening match arranged such an opponent for EDG, which shows that it has good intentions.

Unexpectedly, it is such an opponent who is sure to win, but the process of the game can be called thrilling.

EDG first had an absolute advantage in the early stage and took the lead in an all-round way. The mid laner Lucian carried a bomb, but in the later stage he pulled his hips inexplicably, and lost once in team battles.

In the end, it was turned over by AHQ directly.

As soon as this result came out, not to mention the audience outside the stadium, everyone in EDG was a little confused.

When they returned to the backstage lounge, everyone was in a daze.

"It's okay, I was nervous in the first game, it's normal, just open it..."

After research, the coaching staff determined that the early stage of the first game was almost perfect, so the lineup of the system is no problem. This is indeed true.

So after comforting everyone, they began to prepare for the second match.

As a result, on the second day, EDG chose Lucian again, and when facing C9, they played an exaggerated advantage in the early stage compared to yesterday.

Can…

As if under a curse, EDG, which had a huge lead in the early stage, had stability problems in the middle and late stages. Not only were the team battles full of loopholes, but later on, even the cooperation between them was deformed.

Lose another game.

By this time, the public opinion of the outside world had reached an unimaginable level.

The overwhelming abuse and anger were all directed at the starting member of EDG, Lucian from Scout, and...the management.

Even the trending search terms of #Why不上佛爷# directly appeared on Weibo's trending search list that night.

In the hotel, everyone in EDG is also doing the final analysis and review.

It was said to be an analysis and review, but Xu Cheng, who was in it, felt a chill inexplicably.

because…

In the S7 group stage, EDG, which lost two games in a row, seems to be completely stunned at this moment!

They're still discussing the possibility of Lucian!
In fact, from Xu Cheng's point of view, Lu Xian was not the main reason for losing the game two days ago.

On the contrary, Scout's Lucian's early performance was perfect and played a decisive role.

Bot lane AD is also good. Although Tian Ye sometimes gets sick, it is not much different from usual.

But sometimes metaphysics is really unclear.

Just like what the outside world is saying now, EDG really pulled their hips steadily in the World Championship, like the curse of the top eight.

At this moment, everyone in EDG seems to have gotten into a dead end. They firmly believe that their lineup is fine, because they have indeed played an unimaginable advantage in the early stage.

So on the third day, EDG chose Lucian for the third time, and today, they encountered the greatest setback and humiliation in history——

This setback and humiliation even once became a famous meme handed down from generation to generation.

In the third match of EDG in the S7 group stage, against SKT, the early lead of [-] was overturned!

Middle road, river course, grass, Luo...

The [-] economic turnaround made everyone in EDG feel as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss and were nailed and engraved on the pillar of shame in history.

At the scene that day, countless Chinese audiences who held unparalleled expectations for three consecutive days finally exploded completely.

Some emotional young ladies collapsed directly.

0/3 in the first round of the group stage, kneeling three times in a row, what is this concept?
There are a total of two rounds in the S match group stage, and the normal schedule can only play six games.

In other words, EDG, which has already lost three games, may not have a chance to qualify even if they win the second round!

The No. 7 seed, the leading brother, was eliminated by the top 7 in the largest world tournament held at home for the first time in [-] years, ending his S[-]?

The No. [-] seed top [-] broke through the lower limit of history!
Even Baby Miller, who has always been the most supportive of the LPL team in foreign wars, is also emotional and blunt in front of the whole world:

"EDG these days, I'm sorry for the audience who came to support them, I'm sorry for everyone."

"We... are sorry for everyone, we... apologize to everyone..."

Yes, the commentator doesn't even know how to round it up.

EDG made the audience cry and apologized for the commentary!
After the game, everyone in EDG didn't know how to get back to the hotel.

I only remember the swearing and swearing in the arena, the crying and howling of die-hard fans outside the arena, and the "Ming Kai, don't be in the army", which almost made the factory manager who had already collapsed wish to find a crack in the ground——

The S7 group stage was played in Wuhan!
And Wuhan is his hometown.

Everyone says that S7 is LPL's home game, but for the factory manager, this is his home game.

Before the start of the game, he was even defined as Wuhan Pride by Wuhan officials.

Countless relatives and friends watched him play off the court.

Under such circumstances, EDG knelt three times in a row, and basically had no hope of advancing. They were going to be eliminated by the top 7 and ended their S[-] journey...

Deliberately changed the expectations of the ID, 6 years of waiting, a whole year of hard work, and the pride of relatives and hometowns will all turn into a joke.

Under the accumulation of all kinds of emotions, Ming Kai, who is usually the most rational and sophisticated, finally broke down completely, crying loudly...

Xu Cheng did not see this scene, but according to Abu later, the factory manager ran while crying and climbed to the [-]th floor of the hotel...

This picture is hard to imagine...

At the same time, the EDG management also put away all the players' mobile phones——

You can't look at the public opinion of the outside world. In the current situation, any normal person's mentality will completely collapse after just one look.

Xu Cheng's cell phone was not confiscated, because the outside world was spraying EDG, and his personal opinion was the best——

[Hahaha, these three days of competition, I just laughed at me, from the anger at the beginning to the relief now, I understand, isn't EDG originally a soft-legged shrimp in the World Championship?I hate myself, what am I expecting? ? 】

[Sure enough, EDG never disappoints people when it comes to letting people down! 】

[Don't be embarrassed, it's just jet lag. 】

[The opening match, the key battle, the life-and-death battle, the honor battle, the train station, and another battle in the coming year! ! 】

[The top four, the top eight, the top sixteen, getting stronger every year... Oh sorry, EDG has not broken through the top eight. 】

[Hahaha, Dian! 】

[It is suggested to change the name of the team, don't call it a different place, and now send it locally! 】

[It turns out that the top eight is the best blessing. 】

[I'm so angry that I'm trembling all over, trash Mingkai, with good calligraphy and calligraphy, every year in the top eight, this time directly breaks through the lower limit of history, come to the top sixteen, right? 】

[My suggestion is to disband in place, you really don't deserve to be the No. [-] seed in the Chinese division! 】

[I really didn't expect to be able to play the game like this at home, the management has shit in their heads?Why not go to Buddha? 】

[Yeah, I don't understand, it's all like this, you go to the Buddha! 】

[Buddha is really miserable, he was really delayed in EDG. 】

[Just like Ah Guang, can he also start?The whole world knows that you want to go to Buddha, but the management of EDG doesn't know! 】

Why not go to Buddha?
It was okay before, after all, everyone was rational before, and there was no solution to the version issue.

However, after Lu Xian was selected three times in the EDGS7 group stage, why EDG did not go to Buddha seems to have become the mainstream public opinion.

This is like the most classic why not go to so-and-so, who will certainly not be such an afterthought.

Not only audience fans, but even some commentators in the circle, and even officials, are hinting at this trend of public opinion——

They do know the reason for the version, EDG can't get a core at all.

But EDG is losing so badly now, it is a blow to the entire LPL and even the country.

I didn't see that the public opinion has been upgraded now. From EDG to LPL, will the Chinese division always be so rubbish?

They need a fig leaf and a shield.

Fortunately or not, Xu Chengrong became this fig leaf.

At this moment, Xu Cheng, who was used as a fig leaf by everyone, was sitting in the meeting room.

Everyone in EDG is also making a final decision at this moment-whether to tear off the last fig leaf.

In fact, there was no need to discuss this at all, because Xu Cheng had already taken the initiative to stand up after seeing Ming Kai's collapse.

"I'll go to the second round, okay?"

The crowd was silent.

Hearing the sound, the factory director, who had been bowing his head, eyes numb and ashen, with cold hands and feet, immediately raised his head, and refused the conditional launch: "No, you can't go up!"

Because of crying, his voice is now very hoarse.

"..." Xu Cheng didn't speak, just looked at him.

The factory manager paused, and explained: "You... Now the outside pressure is too great, almost all of it is given to you, you can't go up... Otherwise, once you lose... your career will be ruined!"

In the Internet age, in fact, even if the mobile phones of the players are taken away, this kind of pervasive information flow cannot be stopped.

So at this moment, basically everyone probably knows the situation of public opinion in the outside world.

Xu Cheng has been regarded as a fig leaf for EDG and even the entire LPL.

He played and everyone was happy.

But once he loses, or if he performs badly, it will tear up anyone's public opinion... Xu Cheng will be drowned in an instant.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the first seed of S7 is 0/3 at home. This loss is even more terrible than the ruin of the factory manager S6 last year.

As Xu Cheng's guide, confidant and friend, how could the factory director helplessly watch Xu Cheng fall into the whirlpool?

Although the others didn't have so many personal emotional considerations, they were not bad.

Xu Cheng understood what the factory manager said, but he still shook his head.

In fact, his recent strength has been significantly improved. Although he is not sure whether he can reverse the so-called version, but... the team is on the line of life and death. If he doesn't make it, he really has no chance.

At this moment, he didn't know if he could win.

嗏

He thought of the words that the factory manager said to him when he first started his career...

"Ming Kai."

"Ok?"

Xu Cheng said softly: "Do you still remember what you told me when you signed me?"

The factory manager was taken aback.

"You said...you signed me because EDG wanted to give me a stage..."

After a pause, Xu Cheng looked at the other party: "Actually, I never told you... I have always wanted to give EDG a stage."

"A stage to prove us."
