I just messed around, how could I become the number one in the world?

This is the EDG lounge.

There are less than two and a half minutes left before the start of the game.

Two and a half minutes later, it was their turn to appear on the court.

At this time, the atmosphere in EDG's break was a little strange.

Everyone in the coaching staff was frowning.

Because just now, they learned that Scout was sick with a cold and fever.

But Scout has no substitute.

It is obviously impossible to make substitutions, and this is the final. For such an important game, if we want to find substitutes, we have to look for them from the youth training system.

Even if the players from the second team's youth training came up, it would be useless as they simply cannot cope with this kind of battle situation.

"It's okay, I can still fight, I'll try my best to withstand the pressure!!"

Scout was trying hard to speak at this time.

He had no choice. He didn't know if it was because of too much pressure or something else, but he had been suffering from insomnia during this period, which also caused him to sleep poorly, and then he caught a cold...

Abu sighed softly: "Then you should be careful. If it doesn't work, we will find a way! !"

Maokai also said: "Then change your play style now, so that you won't feel so uncomfortable in the lane!!"

The coaching staff also discussed a countermeasure temporarily.

When the EDG players came on stage, Abu and the others began to think about how to replace the players in the middle lane.

Otherwise, with Scout in this state, it would definitely be difficult to win the game.

As the game started, the audience cheered.

Entering the BP of the first game.

In the first game, both sides were relatively conservative in BP, releasing as many heroes as possible, in order to test the opponent's strength and find countermeasures.

FPX's playing style is the same as before, with mid and jungle as the core in terms of selection.

Although their top laner Jin Gong can also play some warrior roles, he is more inclined to withstand pressure. He will basically pick Iron Man or Gangplank.

This is actually very good for Ray.

At least when EDG faces FPX, they won't feel as much pressure on the top lane as other teams.

Soon the first BP ended.

It was the finals, and EDG had its starting lineup, but the top laner was still Ray, and Gu Chen was not there.

This made many spectators who wanted to watch Gu Chen's game feel disappointed. They all came for Gu Chen, but now Gu Chen was not on the court yet.

In the first game, FPX directly demonstrated their system capabilities.

On the EDG side, Scout was still in poor shape and couldn't defend against Doinb in the mid lane, and was pushed around by him many times.

This put Uzi in the bottom lane under tremendous pressure.

The opposing lwx and lqs are both good new bottom lane players, and in laning, they are also a first-class bottom lane combination.

As doinb came to gank, FPX's bottom lane also got a kill.

FPX's rhythm took off in the early stage.

The factory manager also wanted to lead the pace in this game, but he found that the scout in the middle lane started to sleepwalk, and there was nothing he could do.

Scout has a fever...

In this case, the thinking is definitely not very clear.

In the end, after a 35-minute battle in the first game, EDG lost the game.

……

The second round begins.

In fact, it is not much different from the first game. FPX's combat system has not changed. It is just pushing the line in the middle lane and working with the jungler.

Whether it was catching the bottom lane or the top lane, EDG was under enough pressure.

Even in this game, EDG's Clearlove set the tempo very well and captured the top, middle and bottom positions.

But a pity.

Later, FPX attacked two teams with four players surrounding them, making up for the previous disadvantage.

This time, the battle started because Scout had no TP and had not reached the bottom lane.

Thus.

On EDG's side, the bottom lane was in a bit of trouble.

Although Uzi is very strong, this kind of strength must be supported by development and equipment.

In these two games, he was under a lot of pressure in the bottom lane and didn't dare to press FPX's bottom lane at will.

This one was even more tragic.

The scout in the middle lane was caught several times in a row and was completely defeated.

Some of my thoughts are not in place.

Scout was caught in so many ways that he felt his mind was a little confused and he didn't know how to play next.

PFX is far from that.

FPX felt that it was not enough after a four-on-two attack, so they continued to attack, and even the player in the top lane TPed down.

Uzi was also powerless to resist, and ultimately PFX gained the advantage in the bottom lane. When team battles broke out, it was difficult to withstand the output of fpx.

This game was lost faster than the first one.

The game was over in just over twenty minutes.

……

"Congratulations to FPX for winning the game again and taking the match point!"

"The score is now 2:0!!"

“FPX is far ahead!!”

In the commentary booth, Jide, Guan Zeyuan and Miller announced almost at the same time.

They also didn't expect that the extremely powerful EDG would lose so badly in today's game, having lost two games in a row.

If we lose another game, we will be crushed 3:0 and lose the chance to win the championship.

Guan Zeyuan: "EDG's condition is a little off today!! Scout in the middle was sleepwalking in both games, and I don't know how to contain Doinb."

"EDG only relied on Zzali and Wuzhi to drag the game into the late stage. If anything happened to them, the game would end very quickly."

He also looked more carefully.

After two games, Scout's condition was obviously not up to standard, otherwise he would not have allowed Doinb to catch him like that.

Uzi was caught too many times and couldn't develop normally.

Immediately afterwards, the rhythm of the factory manager will also be affected, and the top laner Ray will not be able to stand out at this time.

Therefore, EDG could only lose in the end...

I also remember sighing: "Ah, it can be seen that FPX is very strong. This kind of system is really difficult to crack!"

Miller couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid... EDG's peak myth will be shattered today, right?"

“Today we may witness the fall of a dynasty and the rise of a new one!”

"FPX - this little Phoenix team, from obscurity to the current fame, it only took one season. I have to say, this is really a comeback!!"

The strength that FPX showed this season really exceeded everyone's expectations.

Especially doinb in the middle lane.

That unique hero pool really shocked everyone.

Sword Demon, Pantheon, Kled, Crocodile...

In addition to the usual pushers who keep mages, doinb is a variety of warrior mid laners! !

There is control and there is displacement.

Combined with the rhythm of the jungler Xiaotian and the mid and jungle, it is difficult for any team in the LPL to compete with them.

At this moment.

In the official live broadcast room, EDG fans across the entire network were a little worried.

[It’s over!! If we get crushed by 3 to 1, it will be so embarrassing!!]

[Yeah! Even when facing the SKT that was at its peak, they would not be crushed like this! Isn’t EDG’s condition today too bad? ? ]

[The main thing is Scout. Wuqi and Zzai are in good condition. They turned the tide for several waves, but unfortunately Scout gave away the advantage. FPX is in the mid-jungle rhythm. If Scout can't move, it will be difficult for EDG to have a rhythm! ]

[Oh my god! Cat God, please come back soon! ! I already miss the days when Cat God dominated the mid lane. If Cat God was here, who would dare to play these short hands in the mid lane? ? ] [Cat God, please come back soon! ! ]

Not just netizens.

At this time, the audience and EDG fans were all dejected.

They didn't expect it.

EDG, which previously seemed to be on track to win four consecutive championships, was beaten so badly in today's game.

Even now, FPX has already beaten them 2:0. If they play another game, they will be beaten 3:0!!
And FPX fans are already very proud.

Some haters also started to mock.

[EDG Dynasty Team? That’s it? That’s it? That’s not okay!!]

[White Son is talking! I thought they were so awesome? The team that won three consecutive championships is just like this!!]

[Our Little Phoenix only joined LPL last year and has risen in just one year. I feel that FPX will be the champion this year. ]

[Cat God? Even if Cat God comes, it won’t work!! Who can defend against doinb’s system? ? ]

For a while.

The entire Internet began to discuss it heatedly.

The fans and spectators of other teams were already gloating at this time.

……

Inside the EDG lounge.

Coaches like Abu and Maokai were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Lost two games in a row.

You can imagine how great this pressure is!!
This was also the most brutal game they had played since the S9 season.

"Feel sorry!!"

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as he got off the stage, Scout lowered his head and apologized.

But from his complexion, it can be seen that Scout has tried his best, but his condition is too serious.

Just by touching Scout's forehead, you can tell that he has a high fever.

Mao Kai quickly waved his hands and shouted, "Quick, quick, get a doctor over here. If he's not well, send him to the hospital right away."

But after he finished speaking, he frowned.

The scout fell down.

Then next, EDG can only look for someone else.

"Oh, what should we do? The only substitutes we brought in this time were AD and top laner."

Maokai said anxiously.

Given Scout's current state, it's obvious that he can't continue playing, and this will only make the game worse.

Abu fell into deep thought.

He just called and asked the mid laner of the second team to come over, but after looking at the information of the mid laner of the second team, he became silent.

The strength is a bit weak...

Even if he replaces Scout, we still can't win the game.

Even replacing him would be worse than having scout.

At this moment, Gu Chen's voice suddenly came: "Coach, have you forgotten that I am the mid laner?"

"Scout must have a high fever. We'll report the situation to the league officials. Although I'm the top laner, I can still recover and play!"

"Iboy and I are the only substitutes, so I have to play!"

After listening to Gu Chen's words, Abu and Maokai's eyes suddenly lit up.

yes! !
How could they forget!
Gu Chen is the main player in the top lane, and he is also a substitute. It can be said that the substitute position is in the top lane now, but in Scout's case, he cannot play. Explain this to the official, and let Gu Chen replace him.

Abu Ma started communicating with the authorities without stopping.

soon! !
After verifying Scout's situation, he agreed to let Gu Chen replace Scout.

Lineup confirmed!!
Mid laner——Gu Chen!!

Seeing Gu Chen coming on the court, both Uzi and Zzitai breathed a sigh of relief, and their originally tense mood eased at this moment.

Even the coach felt relieved.

They knew very well how powerful Gu Chen was. With him on the field, this life-and-death game would have a high chance of turning defeat into victory! !
Abu patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Chen! You can choose which hero you want to play this time. It's up to you!!"

Abu has absolute trust in Gu Chen.

Even Gu Chen hasn't played mid lane for a long time.

But Gu Chen's strength has not decreased.

Besides, the opponent's doinb was just playing a warrior mid laner, which was exactly what Gu Chen wanted? ?

Gu Chen played top lane, and he played against the team casually, not to mention the mid laner! !

Besides!

Over the years, when has Gu Chen ever let them down?

"OK!!"

Gu Chen nodded, and at the same time began to think about his game options for the third game.

After all, this is a life-and-death game for EDG.

If they lose the game, they will miss out on the summer season trophy and the number one seed in the world championship!

……

The time for rest was soon over.

At this time, two teams began to appear.

It was at this moment that everyone saw the words scout↓, cat↑ displayed in the middle position.

All of a sudden, the stadium, which was originally full of cheers, became noisy at this moment.

Gu Chen...is on the court?

In the commentary box.

Guan Zeyuan was explaining to the audience: "According to the latest news, EDG's mid laner Scout had a high fever, which seriously affected the game, so he was forced to be replaced, and his replacement is Maoshen!!"

Miller immediately responded: "EDG only brought two substitutes today, so after discussing with the official, we asked Maoshen, who was originally a substitute in the top lane, to be a substitute in the mid lane!!"

As the two of them finished their words, the whole audience became excited.

The official event live broadcast room exploded at this moment.

[Oh my god! Mid lane! Maoshen’s mid lane! After two years, I finally waited for Maoshen to return to the mid lane to play in the game! ]

[Is this true? Maoshen actually appeared as a mid laner. I am a little agitated...]

[Oh my god! This makes me excited! ! ]

[The world's No. 1 mid laner has returned! You are all ready to be judged! ! ]

[Cat God is the mid laner? I feel that even though Cat God is here, facing doinb's pusher style and the occasional warrior mid laner, can Cat God really handle it? 】

[After all, I haven't played for two years. I feel like EDG is just trying to save the situation? ? ]

Many fans and audiences were very excited.

They didn't expect that in this game, not only would they see Gu Chen play, but they would also see Gu Chen play as a mid laner.

This really makes him passionate! !

but……

There were also many people who began to think deeply.

They thought that after all, Gu Chen had not played mid lane for a long time. If they were facing other teams, they would still be able to deal with it with Mao Shen's mage skills.

But now, the FPX team is very different.

The hero pool of mid laner doinb is so unique.

Apart from the regular mid-lane mage, the rest are warrior mid-lanes, and there are even mid-lanes like Titan.

Many people began to worry at this time.

Can Gu Chen, once known as the "world's best mid laner", cope with a mid laner like Doinb who plays a system? ?
