On the 24th, the entire edg team arrived in San Francisco and disembarked at 12:00 local noon.
Under the leadership of coach Abramovich, they squandered their boss Ed Zhufa's World Championship funds to eat Tomahawk steak at a local high-end restaurant. Then they went to the hotel to check in and ate Western food provided by the hotel in the evening. The whole team was awake for nearly twenty-four hours. After dinner, go to bed early and take a long nap to adjust to the jet lag.
The next day started to be busy. The main work was still to score points on the US server and to arrange training matches with teams from various divisions.
Along with [tsm is invincible in training matches] [mika has a winning rate of 92 and is the best in the US server] [edg loses to tsm in training matches] [mika is training mid lane Yasuo] and other news, true or false, in the five days before the game It went by very quickly.
We arrived quietly on September 29th, the first match day of the World Championship!
edg took a special car provided by Riot Games and arrived in downtown San Francisco.
The Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium, the venue for the group stage, is a typical neoclassical European building with a history of more than 100 years.
With pure white exterior walls, decorative Roman columns, and arched glass windows, it looks like a solemn church or town hall from the outside.
Meixia looked down from the car window. She was a little excited after not playing a game for a month. "The venue for the group stage is very big. It feels like playing in the White House!"
The director looked at the news on his mobile phone and followed Mixia's words. He suddenly became proud, "Our opponent in the first game is intz. It's just a good time to warm up and feel the enthusiastic atmosphere of the North American audience!"
The news he watched was the game news of the day.
edg played in the fourth game. In the previous three games, the c9 team defeated h2g 0-1. The opening European and American battle ended with a home defeat in North America. Huya rox defeated IM 1-0 and won the China-South Korea war. In the third game, The defending champion skt came on the field and easily defeated the Taiwanese team ahq.
In other words, at this time, the LPL audience is counting on EDG to win the first victory for the division!
It just so happened that edg's first opponent was the weak Brazilian team Intz, which undoubtedly made the factory director confident about his first victory!
Not only in front of the live audience, but also in front of tens of millions of lpl viewers, he will show his level as the world's number one jungler!
"First Evolution"
Abu also felt that the factory director's spirit was a little different from the past, "Very good, factory director, you are very confident today."
The factory director smiled and said, "Of course, Intz is not ready yet. Although their jungler is a fan of mine, I won't be merciful because of this! Well, just like last year against Mika!"
Mixia nodded in agreement, "Beat him hard. There will never be a fan of the factory director who is stronger than me."
She also silently hopes in her heart - the world line has undergone huge changes, and the factory director may or may not be beaten up by fans again!
When the team arrived in the lounge to prepare for their debut, the director's Brazilian fans took the opportunity to come and visit in advance. They expected to send team uniforms to each other with the director and Miha. Their enthusiastic attitude and unintelligible Spanish did not make them aware that they were their opponents right away. .
"These Brazilian fans are so enthusiastic!" The director couldn't help but shake his head after the group photo was taken. "It feels like they don't regard me as an opponent or enemy at all. It's not good to have no sense of competition. I'm afraid they will play games with their idols later in the game." A little smell of gunpowder..."

"No way! It's just because you are a fan that you will be cruel in the game. Senior director, you have to be careful!" Mixia reminded, "As senior's number one fan, I understand this very well!"
"Really?" The factory director was very surprised.
Mixia said, "It feels so good to beat up idols and stuff like that!"
Hearing Sakura Girl's words, the director felt a little chill in his body, but when he thought about last year's DFM group stage match against EDG where they lost both games, he felt that INtz must have the same ending as the original DFM.
Beating up idols is absolutely impossible.
At ten o'clock in the evening local time in North America, players from both sides entered the arena.
At this moment, in China, which is far away on the other side of the world, it is eleven o'clock in the morning.
LPL officials considered that IM was likely to lose to SKT on the first day and that it would not be a problem for edg to defeat inzt and win the first LPL victory. They configured the game with a commentary combination of long-haired and small umbrellas, old controllers and former players.
ahq had just lost, which made the commentator from Taiwan, Changmao, not in a good mood, but he still had to hold his nose and say good things about edg. He originally expected edg to underestimate the enemy and go to pawn, but since it was mika, he no matter how much he fantasized about lpl. The team lost, and it was also clear that relying on the strength of Sakura Girl, it was basically impossible for edg to lose to the wild card team.
Changmao said calmly, "I heard that the substitute for the Edg World Championship is General Pawn. In fact, I thought that they would test the lineup with General Pawn in games that they could win reliably. However, Mika is still the starter in today's game. It seems that the first choice for the team is Victory is inevitable!”
Xiaoshan smiled and started to analyze the intz team, "Today edg's opponent is the wild card team intz. Although we don't know yet how good they are, we also very much hope that they can perform well in their debut on the world stage! Especially when I heard that their jungler is a fan of the factory director, the meeting between an idol and a fan reminds me of the scene where Mika and Edg played in the game last year!"
Watabao said, "Wow, the director showed the contestants the footage, and the director smiled very happily! It's completely different from the summer games, full of confidence!"
"Mika is as cute as ever!"
A new player selection UI appears on the live broadcast interface.
The bp of both sides on the field begins.
Meixia actually hesitated before the game whether to ban Lee Sin to the factory manager to avoid the worst situation of being kicked as a ball by fans. However, considering that Lee Sin is a popular jungler in this world championship, it can be held once but not every game. It's all done. Instead of delaying the potential explosion, it is better to verify the performance of the factory director in this world championship in the first game of the group stage.
So Blue Square banned Jace, Digger and Vampire.
The red side edg bans Leopard Girl, Karma and Gnar.
Then intz grabbed the mid laner Syndra, making the scene passionate.
Then on edg's side, Abu first picked Yin Zerel and Nami for the duo.
The soft assists in the World Championship version are strengthened, so Meiko naturally has to bring out his signature Nami. However, Yin Zeriel is indeed not the strongest AD to match Nami, but there is no need to directly show the territory against wild cards, so Deft only asked the coach to choose one. An eclectic little yellow fur.

Go to Intz's second and third hand and get the Ice and Braum combination. There's nothing to say. It's a classic bottom lane from the previous version.
EDG's third and fourth moves were to first choose the hero Rambo that Mouse wanted to practice, and then to choose the hero that Meixia needed to fight against Syndra.
Meixia didn't need to consider hero countermeasures at all against the wild card team, and she thought the same as deft, it was too early to reveal her trump card in the first game.
She immediately said, "Bring me LeBlanc!"
So LeBlanc, who has an 80% win rate in LPL, appeared in the hero selection box!
Watching edg select the reverse ter Syndra's hero, the atmosphere on and off the field reached a climax again.
Changmao shouted passionately, "This is the magnanimity of the No. 1 seed in the LPL. I dare to choose even a reverse ter. I, Mika, have this strength. It doesn't matter which hero restrains which World Championship version! Just use the assassin hero to compete with you." front!"
Xiaoshan nodded and said, "Indeed, edg is just a training lineup. I am still very relieved about mika!"
When it came to the last two choices of intz, he first picked up a single wave, and then he revealed the jungle hero, Lee Sin!
For a moment, the audience was excited again, and there was another wave of applause.
Fans of the factory director will show off the most demanding jungle hero, Lee Sin, in front of him!
As for the fifth choice of edg, the factory director was very confident about this and immediately chose a confident wild man as a response.
The lineups of both sides are selected.
Intz top laner Poppy, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner LeBlanc, adc Ice and auxiliary Braum.
Edg's top laner Rambo, jungler Lancer, mid laner LeBlanc, adc Yin Zerrell and assistant Nami.
Mei Xia feels that although his lineup is a bit outrageous, as long as he performs at a normal level, winning will not be a big problem.
After all, the opponent is in the wild card division, unless the factory director really stabilizes the World Championships like he did in another world...
However, the factory director really became ill...
It's not just the factory manager who has a problem.
In the original three-way advantage situation, deft first caught the blind monk Q in the front and was kicked by a roundabout.
Then in the mid-term, Meiko Nami was stunned by Syndra and ate three blind monk qr skewers.
In the later stage of the critical round, the factory director used E to eat the Ice Arrow when the male gun was dodged, and was kicked out by the blind monk in seconds, and EDG lost the baron.
The whole game lasted until 45 minutes. Meixia's 7-1-4 Enchantress was unable to save the world alone, and watched in the spring as Intz pushed away the crystal.
For a moment, the entire Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium burst into applause through the dome!
