LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 283 Welcome home—zet!

"Since the East and West divisions, there have been more than 42 large-scale battles in the past dynasties in the LPL spring competition. It is difficult to say the right and wrong, but all cloud players have noticed that it is this ancient battlefield that has determined the rise and fall of many generations of galactic battleships and the three imperial families. There is a rise and a fall, so since ancient times there has been a saying of winning in spring!"

—— Notes on the end of the first round of round-robin duels in the same group in the 2018 LPL Spring Split

A week ago, the first stage of the spring split ended with EDG sweeping the Western Conference with an impressive record of 6-0.

The Spring Festival holiday made this year's schedule quite tight. After the civil war between the east and west, the league's confrontation between the east and west immediately started at a pace of three games a day, five days a week.

Based on paper strength, the West, which has EDG, WE, OMG, and Snake, is slightly stronger than the East.

But after four game days, everyone was shocked to find that the records of IG, RNG, and RW in the Eastern Theater District were all 2-0, while the 'strong teams' WE, OMG, and Snake in the Western Region except EDG were 0-2 and 0-2 respectively. , 1-1.

For a time, there was constant hustle and bustle on the Internet:
[Western hell mode, the east is full of fish belly]

[Sure enough, this is the big stage in Xi’an. If you want to win, come here. WE even lost to the New Army Top]

[No way, I have a hunch that IG, RNG, and RW swept all teams in the Western Conference except EDG 6-1]

[Don’t be ridiculous, starch. When IG, RNG, or RW win, don’t they always win with a score of 2:0? Your German G team has to score 2:1 every time they play WE, and you still want to draw a tie with the three heroes of the Eastern Conference. wrist? 】

[Summary of vegetables used in the West: Water shield]

[EDG is obviously much weaker than last year, but it is not impossible to defeat RNG, IG, and RW. It will be difficult to win them all, but I should be able to win one or two]

[The top laner’s voice is not as loud as last year. Coach BP’s main focus is an evil side, the ultimate mid laner, and the bottom lane is stable but not strong. What do you think EDG can do to beat RNG? 】

[The three heroes above 6-1 are indeed nonsense, I think it should be 7-0]

[MD, Huang Za is in trouble, you guys are lucky that you didn’t meet EDG in the first week, otherwise your home team will be beaten back to its original form]

[There is indeed a gap in strength between the East and West. It would be unfair to treat the Eastern teams according to the rules]

[I originally felt uncomfortable that OMG was divided into the Western Conference and WE and EDG in the same half region, but now I am only secretly happy~]

……

Magic City, EDG Club.

Due to home games, all the major clubs in the Eastern Division went west together, and EDG, who was in the enemy camp, did not have any games in the fourth week of the spring split.

But tomorrow, RNG, one of the three heroes in the Eastern Conference and who has had a long-standing feud with EDG, will return to the Magic City and start a fierce battle with EDG on March 3.

Faced with the fierce enemies and the rumors that shake people's hearts on the Internet.

The former world's number one jungler, EDG veteran player, S7 season global champion, and current EDG team coach Qi Jiang gave a speech:

"I don't understand why everyone is talking about the three heroes of the Eastern Conference led by IG, as if the upcoming competition between different groups is destined to be bad for us in the Western Conference and our EDG. A few months ago, we set out on the journey, Another march has begun! Won a major victory in the S game and became the first LPL championship team!"

"Everywhere our team goes, the people welcome us wholeheartedly. We really have the best time!"

"That state of vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes."

"But just a few months later, the confrontation between different teams in the spring game turned into our burial place?"

"No matter what, the strength of the battle is to use the only champion team to fight against the ants without a crown in the west. One championship will suppress the nothingness. The advantage is mine!"

Of course, the above is purely a refined and expanded speech by the EDG Art Troupe.

The actual content of 7chan’s speech is:
"What kind of RNG champion is he? I'm already studying IG and Xia!"

To be honest, the league's schedule is indeed extremely beneficial to EDG.

The competition between different groups lasted for two and a half weeks, with a total of 36 games.

In the first five match days, EDG did not have any games, and for the sake of traffic, the league officials also placed all the more focused battles such as RNGvsWE, IGvsSnake, RWvsOMG, etc. in the first week.

In this way, EDG has enough time to study the opponent's tactical system and hero play style.

In this regard, a certain team that is not RNG and has always been at odds with EDG complained about the schedule on the official Weibo. Their team has to fly to two places to play three games a week. At the same time, the Yin Yang League official treats the EDG club specially.

The official responded immediately:

"The schedule is based on basic facts, including the location of each club and the venue of the competition. It is an optimal arrangement that fully considers the preparation and transportation of each team."

"The LPL has always been a business alliance, and traffic is one of the factors that the business alliance is most concerned about."

"Due to the long Spring Festival offseason and the compact schedule of League of Legends events this year, there are three teams that will play three games this week. It is not the official intention of the league to target anyone, and the EDG club will not There will be 14 games and the schedule is equally compact.”

"And this arrangement is also a reasonable arrangement based on the East and West divisions. As a Western team, the EDG club is located in Shanghai!"

"The EDG team is the first team in the LPL League to win the S Championship. Without deliberately targeting other clubs, such a schedule does not imply any special treatment."

There are many netizens who are abusive and sarcastic towards the LPL's official response. While they are clamoring for the unfairness of the LPL online, they are also mocking EDG's "Guodian" for its well-deserved reputation.

But most netizens remain silent.

The salary is obtained based on one's own strength.

This time, the league officials did not engage in such an unjust act as "birthday suspension".

Moreover, except for EDG in the West who did not have a game in the fourth week, SNG in the East also did not have a game in the first week. It is obvious that this is because the schedule must be arranged this way due to transportation and geographical factors.

If you insist on saying it is unfair, then you can only complain about the stupid decision made in the "E-Sports Strategy Conference" last December to divide the east and west divisions.

"Where's the favoritism?"

"Where's the favoritism?"

Jiebu looked at the royal miscellaneous people who were watching the excitement on their mobile phones and rolled their eyes anxiously:

"Didn't our EDG always be like this for so many years?"

"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open!"

"It's very difficult for EDG to arrange this schedule!"

Her words were nauseating, but Jie Bu really wasn't talking nonsense.

"RNG in the spring split was already terrifying, but they have won two games in a row and are feeling hot."

"EDG has not had a game for a week. Every team is either flying or on the way to other home stadiums. We can't even have a few training matches a week!"

"Why don't these people put themselves in our shoes and help us!"

"Ouch, I'm so angry!"

Seeing Sister Bu's complexion gradually warming up, the professional analyst immediately handed him a bottle of mineral water, and then said with a smile: "It's the Lantern Festival today, there's no need for Mr. Bu to be angry!"

"These are comments made by people who know little about the e-sports industry. As long as we do our job well, we'll be fine!"

dun dun dun -

Jiebu drank half a bottle of Baisuishan in one breath to cool down the temperature. She turned on her phone and looked at the time and asked, "When will Xiao Jiang and the factory director come back?"

"The flight arrives at the airport at 02:30 in the afternoon. We will be picked up for half an hour and then take the Outer Ring Expressway. If there is no traffic jam, it will take about 10 to [-] minutes. We should be back before [-] o'clock."

"Yeah, yeah!" Sister Bu said, "Today happens to be the Lantern Festival. Let the kitchen prepare some Yongcheng glutinous rice balls first so that they can fill their bellies when they come back. Then our club will go out for a welcome party in the evening."

"We must let others know that our EDG is the most humane club!"

"I know it's dark all day long."

"Humph!"……

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.

A quiet-looking young man with a pot head wrapped in a down jacket was pushing two suitcases by himself, carrying a large bag behind him and walking alone in the smooth and cold tiled aisle.

Feeling the slight vibration of the phone in his trouser pocket, Zet quickly stopped, put the suitcase aside, put down the heavy backpack and took out the phone:

【huan ying hui jia~~】

【 wo men zai chu zhan kou deng ni ne! 】

【[Picture].jpg】

Looking at the group photo of Jiang Zhun, the factory director, the girl control and others, Hae Chengmin felt a sore nose and wanted to respond in Pinyin with his fingers that were a little stiff from the cold.

Maybe the weight of the luggage caused his muscles to twitch slightly, or maybe he was too excited. He tapped the screen several times and failed to click on the letters correctly.

After several attempts, Hae Sung Min pointed at the front of the aisle, took a photo, and sent it in Qiuqiu.

……

beep—

The phone receives the message.

It was Zet's reply.

"He's coming out soon!" Jiang Zhun looked at the photos on the screen with an excited tone.

The factory manager on the side also stretched out his head and took a quick look at Jiang Zhun's mobile phone screen with his dead fish eyes.

It is a picture of an aisle. Due to exposure reasons, the exit at the end of the aisle is bright white, while the aisle with constant lights is a bit dark. There are few people in the aisle, and suitcases and backpacks are next to the perspective.

"There are so many things, Zet can't even carry them on his small body!"

The factory director looked at the suitcase in the lower right corner of the photo and smacked his lips, "Two suitcases, a backpack that can't even be zipped, and a bag!"

"There is absolutely no need for him to bring so much. He only needs to bring his keyboard and mouse, and other daily necessities will naturally be available at the club."

Jiang Zhun: "Haha, maybe the suitcase is a gift he brought us?"

"If you don't bring me a gift, wait until the base and give him a hellish morning exercise!"

The factory director smiled and then looked aside: "Rucan, Meikong, get up. Zet is almost at the exit. He has a lot of luggage. Let's help him get it together."

……

That's right, Zet is going back to EDG!
It all started with that message about BBQ losing to Samsung. After leaving the lounge, Zet took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang Zhun.

[wo hao xiang ni men a (tears.jpg)], this is such a message composed of pinyin and facial expressions, from which everyone at EDG read Zet's sadness.

The image of that quiet, gentle, silent teammate resurfaced in everyone's minds.

Although it is normal for old teammates to send a message occasionally, the timing and content of Zet's messages are also too sensitive.

As soon as Jiang Zhun and others returned to the backstage lounge after defeating WE, his message came over.

The time difference between Nanjing Baseball League and China is only one hour, and at that time, whether it was an LCK or LPL team, as long as they were not playing games, they were usually making appointments for training matches or playing Rank (working hours).

Zet suddenly sent a message, and the content was not to congratulate EDG for defeating WE.

Obviously it's not just because of the literal "I miss you so much".

So, several cobblers got together to discuss the reason why Zet sent the message. The girl found out that BBQ happened to have a game with SSG that day, and BBQ lost.

When everyone watched the last clip of the game replay, they discovered that after the base exploded in the second game, the BBQ top laner and mid laner in the video looked at Zet with very strange expressions!
It's a bit like the look on Leader An's face when he looked at Ruler after EDG defeated SSG in the S7 finals.

Jiang Zhun, who had seen the video clips of "Losing the room key" and "Red ginseng is very expensive, it was given by my mother", immediately thought of the absurd but somewhat reasonable story of Zet being bullied by the internal "seniors". idea.

Under the careful questioning of everyone at EDG, Zet also told all of his experiences.

So (using LPL rules 1.2, 4.1, and 4.2, omitting the N word), Zet returned to the EDG club.

……

"Xiaohai, you've lost weight!"

"Come on, let me help you push your suitcase."

"It's really thin."

"Our club recently hired two new chefs, and the food is delicious! Look at Rucan, has he gained a lot of weight?"

"Abu said he would go out for dinner tonight and finally killed him. Don't be too full when you get back to the base for snacks."

Zet was surrounded by EDG and his team, nodding at a loss.

"OK OK."

"Look at you, you make Xiaohai so shy."

"Let's get in the car first and chat in the car!"

Jiang Zhun easily picked up Zet's full backpack with one arm, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "In EDG, no one dares to bully you!"

"And...welcome home!"

We meet again after a long absence, and of course there are endless words in my heart.

But seeing how enthusiastic his former and future teammates were, Zet's eyes sparkled.

He couldn't understand why his compatriots, who were also teammates, would treat him in that way, but it was EDG members from a foreign country.
Hey!
"Get in the car first, get in the car first." Zet held his eyes open, forced a smile with difficulty, and walked quickly outside.

Jiang Zhun, the factory director and others laughed when they saw this.

Scout, who didn't say much, remembered the days when he was the team favorite in SKT.

My treatment at that time was similar to that of Zet at this time!

Even though they were not wearing team uniforms but were wrapped in thick down jackets, the impressive EDG team was still recognized by many pedestrians coming and going at the airport.

Perhaps not wanting to break the delicate atmosphere of joy among the team members, no one came forward to ask for autographs or photos.

But they still photographed Nexus, Clearlove7, Meiko, Scout and others surrounding a thin young man wearing a peaked cap and a thick scarf.

This photo also quickly spread online:

"Who is this? The whole EDG team is going to pick up the plane!"

"I was at the airport at the time, but I didn't catch up to ask for a signature because I had to check in immediately."

"It seems to be Zet."

"Isn't Zet playing on the LCK fried chicken team?"

……

That night, Weibo hot searches:
#EDG players appeared at Hongqiao Airport
#EDGZet
#Who is that man?

#EDG champion skin exposed
