LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 286 The Battle for Western Dignity!

The EDG club currently does not have a home stadium. RNG's home stadium, the RNG E-Sports Center in Wukesong, Beijing, is still under intense construction and is not expected to be completed until June.

Therefore, the first match between the two teams in the S8 Spring Split will still be held at the Super Mall in Shanghai.

According to the official requirements of the league, teams need to arrive at the competition venue three hours before the game.

So even though the EDG club is nearly half the distance from the Super Square to the Green Wave Channel, and it only takes half an hour to get to the Super Plaza, the team members still have to set off at three in the afternoon.

Jiang Zhun was the first to pack up his peripherals and wait at the door of the club.

"Zet, let's go?"

Seeing Hae Chengmin wandering inside the glass door, Jiang Zhun waved to him.

"No, no." Hae Chengmin shook his head repeatedly, "The league has not approved the club's registration. I am not yet a player of the EDG club. It is not good to go to the game with you."

"Uh-huh. I'd better practice heroes in the club. Kai'Sa's national server will be online on the 16th."

Seeing Hai Chengmin's hurried explanation, Jiang Zhun smiled and said, "Come on! Kai'Sa, the new hero, is different from other AD heroes. If you are proficient and Kai'Sa becomes popular in the next version, maybe You can play in the spring game."

Hearing Jiang Zhun's words, Hae Sung Min's eyes showed a hint of determination, and then he said with a smile: "I will work hard, and you must also work hard in the game against RNG!"

"At seven o'clock in the evening, I will watch the live broadcast on time~"

……

After the East-West division, many predictions about the strength and ranking of each team in the Spring Split have emerged on the Internet.

The three teams EDG, RNG, and IG are undoubtedly placed as championship contenders by the vast majority of netizens, and the evaluations of the two teams, RW and WE, are basically "championship challengers."

After half of the spring regular season games, the audience found that the rest of the predictions were basically correct, except for the WE team, which basically maintained the same team last year, and the results were a bit disastrous because the players were too old and could not keep up with the changes in the version.

Therefore, the competition between EDG and RNG, the two teams that are candidates for the Spring Split championship, has become a hot topic.

In addition, the two teams have the largest fan bases in the LPL, so the LPL venue in the Super Brand Plaza was packed with seats.

Before 7 p.m., many fans began to cheer for the teams they supported, waving the support items they had received from fixed locations outside the venue.

Hae Sung-min, who was in the EDG club training room, also opened the webpage early and entered the official live broadcast room:
[I’m really a coward for being a fan of these two teams, and I can’t explain why I’ve been so stupid all my life]

[I miss Brother Feng so much]

[MLXG is opposite RNG, hehehe, I’m looking forward to it]

[ Is RNG’s top laner starting with Laitemi or Posture? 】

【Come on EDG! 】

【RNG must win! 】

[In the game against WE, Brother Gou used AD as an assassin. What should EDG use to block EDG’s bottom lane? 】

[Who is talking about "Four consecutive jumps ruined my Chinese e-sports, and my big mouth destroyed my dreams with one spray"? 】

[I don’t like any team, I just like puppies, and I want to learn some finishing moves]

[Haha, then it’s better to learn from Brother Zhun, your puppy only knows how to give]

[I just dropped out of the college entrance examination for one year, how come I won the LPL championship?The factory director retired?Sima Laothief and MLXG have arrived at EDG? 】

[The puppy has matured this year, and the EDG lineup is obviously not as strong as last year. Let’s wait to be liquidated tonight! 】

Before the game officially started, the number of barrages in the live broadcast room exceeded that of an ordinary game.

Hae Sung Min looked at the exaggerated white barrage and his eyes widened.

The barrage of the pig-dog battle in last summer's finals was at this level, right?

It seems that after EDG won the S7 World Championship, League of Legends attracted a lot of fresh blood in the country and aroused the renewed attention of many old people in the league.

"Welcome to the EDGvsRNG scene in the fourth week of the 2018 Spring Split. I am the commentator doll (Miller)!"

The countdown has reached zero, 7 o'clock has arrived.

The live broadcast screen immediately cut to the commentary box, and sure enough, the official handed over this focus battle to the Haier brothers.

"The current record of RNG is 7-1, second only to the IG team, ranking second in the Eastern Division!"

"And EDG is 6-0, ranking first in the Western Division!"

Looking at the data chart given by the director, the two commentators began to introduce the performance rankings of both teams to the audience.

"After a week of confrontation between different groups, it is obvious that the overall strength of the teams in the Eastern Division is stronger than that in the West. For example, the IG team is currently 8 wins and 0 losses, the RNG team is 7 wins and 1 loss, and the RW team is 6 wins and 2 losses. In addition to No team other than EDG has won more than 5 games."

"So today's game between RNG and EDG is called the battle of dignity in the Western Division by some netizens!"

"Mr. Miller, what do you think of this?"

While Wawa stirred up the atmosphere of the explanation, he turned the topic to Miller.

"In my opinion, a battle for dignity in the West also makes sense."

"After all, the stronger teams in the West, such as WE, OMG, and Snake, all lost against the three heroes in the East. If EDG loses to RNG again, then it will become an irrefutable fact that the East is strong and the West is weak. "

"But in terms of playoff spots, the win or loss in this game between EDG and RNG actually doesn't matter much to EDG."

"After all, the number of teams that can advance to the playoffs in the east and west tracks is the same."

So far, it has become a basic fact that the battles in the Western Conference, except for EDG, have been rotten.

As long as no team suddenly breaks out after the second round of the same group competition and wins consecutively, EDG's number one position in the Western Conference will basically not be shaken.

The chicken thief's doll asked intentionally: "So who does Teacher Miller think will win this game?"

"EDG!"

"MLXG understands RNG too well, and Letme is steadily suppressed by Nexus players in the top lane position."

Miller said conclusively: "There is not much difference between the two teams in the other lanes, so EDG will definitely win!"

【? ? ? 】

[The commentator is really dead starch] [I can only haha, EDG beat those garbage games in the West and won 2-1 in three or four games. The fatigue is obvious. I want to ask what EDG should fight against RNG? 】

[Yes, the next few games are all about one chasing two, and even my fans are terrified when they see it]

[What do you want to express? 6-0 is not as good as 7-1? 】

……

Just as the barrage was getting louder, the players completed their entrance and entered the custom room.

[EDG丶MLXG]: Long time no see~
[EDG丶MLXG]：乛乛
"What does Xiang Guo's expression mean?" Uzi looked at the message that suddenly appeared on the public screen and shouted: "He doesn't really want to mess with me, does he?"

Before the game, when RNG was discussing the tactical design of the game with EDG, someone mentioned that they should be careful about the spicy hotpot:

"Xiang Guo is the person who knows how to protect Uzi best!"

"So, he also knows best how to catch Uzi!"

This view was unanimously recognized by the team members. They also had a big discussion on how to prevent Xiangguo from ganking in the bottom lane, and came up with several sets of countermeasures.

But now, seeing Mala Xiangguo posting unusual messages in the custom room, Uzi, who was most likely to be the victim, was as frightened as a bird, with a chill running down his back.

Having been a teammate for almost two years, he knew that Xiangguo was not a very social person.

When a game was suspended last year, because the players could not communicate with each other, he, Xiaohu, and Shi Senming teased the beautiful referee, but Xiangguo remained silent.

"I think the puppy's idea is right."

"Xiangguo's behavior is so abnormal!"

"And how come you have so much experience in catching the factory director at the second level? Brother Ka, it depends on you in the early stage!"

……

"Why don't they reply?"

The referee asked Jiang Zhun, as the captain, if the players were ready. Jiang Zhun immediately loaded the game after answering that he was ready, which puzzled Mala Xiangguo.

He used to be the captain when he was in RNG, and he is naturally familiar with the game process.

Only after both captains of the game agree, will the referee notify the player who opened the room to click 'Start'.

But whether to click to start immediately or wait a few seconds depends entirely on the player's mood.

This time it was Xiaohu from RNG who opened the room.
"I must be scared!"

The sister control said with a smile: "I have to say that the director's skill in letting Xiangguo send the message was really brilliant, and it directly made RNG heartbroken."

……

In the cheers of the audience, the lineup selection for the first game was completed:

Blue side (RNG) vs Red side (EDG)

Previous unit: Vampire vs. Rambo
Jungler Position: Blind Man vs. Olaf

Medium unit: Ryze vs Rockbird
ADC position: big mouth vs small cannon
Support position: Tamu vs. Kidney
Wawa suppressed a smile: "EDG, which has the right to choose sides, actively chooses the red side. It's not just for the counter position on the fifth floor to take Rambo, right?"

"Well, it should be."

"Vampire, a team-fighting AOE mage who can restrain tank top laners, has become a regular player in the version."

"And Rambo hasn't played in the Spring Split yet. Maybe he is EDG's trump card."

【warn!warn!warn! 】

[Who are you calling the little guy? 】

[Baby, just laugh if you want, it’s not good for your health if you hold it in]

[I hope it’s the same as what you said (sneaky smile.jpg)]

[Have you seen the scene where Nexus explained IG and RNG?He already said that he is not familiar with the RNG players, so don’t make any malicious assumptions here! 】

Jiang Zhun Rambo’s cornerstone rune was Arcane Comet, the minor runes were Ultimate Skill Cap, Swiftness, and Scorch, while the secondary enlightenment chose Perfect Timing and Astral Insight.

The reason why I didn’t choose Magical Boots is because Rambo’s laning, especially heroes like Vampire, requires very little movement speed.

It is not easy to get kills in the early stages of professional competitions. Once you click on the magic boots rune, you cannot buy the shoes and you have to wait until 10 minutes of game time for delivery.

"Let's go, invade!"

The lineup strength of level 1 EDG is significantly higher than that of RNG, and the director also made it clear after selecting heroes that he could adopt the jungle invasion style before the game.

As soon as the air wall of the spring water disappeared, the spicy hot pot couldn't wait to scream.

“When you see someone, just go up to them!”

"It's the best if you can kill them. If you can't kill them, use your summoner skills!"

Rockbird is weak because of Ryze's flash in the lane, while Rambo and Shen both flash and ignite. If they can catch the opponent's lone hero when invading the opponent's jungle area, it will not be difficult for EDG to get first blood.

"Vampires wear red shoes when they go out, and Rambo wears red shoes too."

"It seems that Letme and Nexus have thought of going together. Both players have a high level of independent graphics understanding!"

Watching the game from a God's perspective, I found that both top laners had chosen the same unpopular equipment combination, and I couldn't help but feel excited:
"As for the summoner skills, both sides use Flash Ignite. In terms of runes, Vampire is Alley, and Rambo chose Comet."

"It seems like this game should be a life-or-death situation on the road!"

Generally speaking, vampires will choose phase rush.

But Letme chose Alley, who was the strongest in the lane. It was obvious that he wanted to quickly win the lane advantage through frequent consumption and exchange of blood, not just to use phase rush acceleration to take advantage and run away.

"EDG chose to form a group and launch an invasion from the top road to the river!"

"On the RNG side, after Ryze inserted the trinket eye at the entrance of his F6 jungle area, he rushed to the red square jungle area with his teammates."

"Why was this decision made?"
