Following EDG's defeat in the first game, LPL suffered two consecutive defeats on the first day of the group stage, and domestic public opinion was in an uproar.
[As expected, he is still the same EDG who is an expert in civil war and an outsider in external warfare! 】
[edg Get ready to swim back home! Back from a trip to the North Pole! 】
[Lpl lost to a foreign team for the first time in record time, I really have you, edg! 】
[Is this the LPL that has re-emerged after boasting for half a year? I think it’s already better than the wild card! 】
[Indeed, reaching the quarterfinals counts as success. 】
Complaints about breaking defenses were heard one after another. P-picture masters from all over the world came out to make meme pictures of "Director, I am your fan". At the same time, the animated pictures of Ad Nosuke being caught by a string of three and the director E were quickly posted in various places. The forum spreads the news, and the pot-sharing meeting after each game is a reserved program.
[The pilot is the first to blame, the factory director is the second, and coach Abu is the third! mika, mika gives ten points but not zero points. 】
[I'm already planning to buy a swimsuit for Sakura-chan. Which one is better, a bikini or a children's swimsuit? 】
[There is a saying that the mid laner mainly chooses Enchantress against the version and against ER, which is too unfavorable. Sakura Girl performed very well and can come back by boat]
[My super brothers, it’s not that I don’t support lpl, I’m kind of looking forward to mika’s return to the top eight swimming...]
…
It wasn't until the latter game started that the LPL audience temporarily ended their discussion of EDG's defeat.
In the fourth game of the first day of the group stage, ssg defeated spy naturally and gave lck a gorgeous first-day three-game winning streak.
Moving on to the fifth game, the final game of the day was also the last game of the first day of LPL.
RNG, the second seed of lpl, will face North American champion tsm.
rng started at a disadvantage. mlxg, who entered the World Championship for the first time, was eager to perform. The troops aggressively counter-attacked and got killed. Then, they originally had a perfect counter-crouching on the top lane. Due to insufficient damage and the support of Xiaohu, they instead sent double kills to the jungle. .
rng's economy once fell behind to 3,000. Fortunately, mlxg did not give up on starting a group despite its disadvantage. At the 25th and 32nd minutes, relying on two big moves to enter the field and fearing the double-C operation, it successfully completed the redemption and helped rng and lpl gain First win!
The vast audience who started watching the game at five in the morning and didn't watch the entire game until twelve o'clock finally breathed a sigh of relief and regained some hope for the competition area.
By the end of the game, it was already two o'clock in the evening in San Francisco local time. The edg team returned to the hotel, and their mental outlook was completely different from the high-spirited setting when they set off two hours ago.
Abramovich convened a small meeting with the players in the hotel. He first summarized the reasons for the failure, and then made arrangements for the next day's game.
At the meeting, Meixia tried hard to recall the game against ahq the next day in another timeline.
According to memories, edg most likely defeated ahq, known as Taiwan's edg, otherwise it would be difficult for edg to qualify in the group stage in s6, but she also remembered that the famous horse stepping on the flying arrow in the rebirth timeline happened in this group stage !
Now in the timeline she is on, the man's gun and e's flying arrow have already happened.
Then Hecarim's flying arrow will never be far away!
Mei Xia knew that preventing the factory director from selecting players tomorrow or persuading the coaching staff to ban Han Bing was a way to avoid a famous scene.
But she hesitated.
The reason for hesitation is the same as in the game with intz. Renma is a familiar jungler in this world championship, and Hanbing is the adc with the highest appearance rate. If edg is banned for no reason or the version is not selected strongly, it will completely expose the factory director and deft weakness.
As for letting the famous scene play out, although Mixia is inexplicably looking forward to the magical operations such as the horse stepping on the flying arrow and Olaf's turtle speed, the question she is most worried about is whether the factory director will completely break the defense because of these operations...
The jungler occasionally exaggerates in one or two rounds, and she is confident that she can turn the tide. However, if the factory director who breaks the defense reaches the semi-finals or the top eight and continues to show his lower limit, facing skt or ssg, the champion and runner-up teams in another world, she will Even if Crow or Faker is defeated head-on, it is difficult to say that one person can carry the entire team...
Meixia decided to ask for my wishes.
"Senior Factory Director, do you think the blind monks and blind monks on the opposite side need to be banned?"
The factory director replied, "It's not necessary. The wild card blind monk is indeed powerful, and I can't stand it. But I still have Olaf, a hero who specializes in blind monks and ice, to choose from!"
He really didn't think that Blind Sin and Han Bing could perform like this in a normal confrontation. The result of reflection at the meeting was that the wild cards performed like this in the first game. In the final analysis, it was the carelessness of the edg players.
Now that Meixia has received the factory director's opinion, it will continue to use the game's BP.
At the same time, she also decided to use the special countermeasures formulated before the world competition!
The plan is very simple. The principle is similar to desensitization treatment. She does not seek to cure the factory director. She only wants to use high-intensity and one-sided single kills in the competition server to make the factory director accustomed to frequent deaths and defeats, so as to strengthen his strength. His ability to withstand pressure.
When the meeting ended, Mei Xia immediately invited the factory director to start a 1v1 training session on the grounds of targeted training.
The factory director had no reason to refuse, but he never thought that this additional training would be the beginning of his pain.
The two played solo for a total of eight rounds, and Meixia won eight rounds, beating the factory director until he couldn't take care of himself in the face of the blind monk.
"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore...Mika, your operation is too horrible. If you keep playing, I will be so sleepy that I can't open my eyes in tomorrow's game." After the game, the factory director said with a smile. He no longer had any jealousy of Mika's talent. And unwilling to give up, only the old father's love for his daughter is left.
"Senior, I want more!" Mixia persisted.
Originally, she only regarded this plan as a backup strategy. After all, the factory director had already demonstrated his normal level as a blind monk during the LPL finals. Who would have thought that he only became ill during the World Championships...
Faced with Sakura Girl's solo request with such a sweet voice, how could the director refuse.
Then the two entered the game and had another discussion. Meixia helped the director break the solo losing streak record.
The training continued until the factory director was numb from losing. In the end, the factory director didn’t even remember how many solo games he played in total. He only remembered that he felt dizzy and wanted to vomit from the moment he got the blind monk men, until his brain went blank and he only relied on mechanical methods. Instinct controls the hero.
Meixia rubbed her eyes and won another round late at night. He felt that the factory director's mentality was changing, and his operating level also declined from a rapid decline after the initial loss to a slow decline. Only then did he finally stop talking to the factory director. solo.
After extra practice at three o'clock in the morning, Meixia went back to her room to take a quick shower, then went to bed and slept until twelve o'clock the next day.
In the afternoon, the team made an appointment for three more training matches. Then, since the second match day of the World Championship group stage started, we couldn't make an appointment for a training match, so everyone started to qualify.
The day's matches continued.
Group b fw beats anx, im beats fw.
In group d, tsm beats ssg, rng beats spy.
tz.
The lpl finally stabilized the situation on the second day of the game. By 11 o'clock in the evening in North America, only lpl's shameful EDG, who lost the wild card in the first round, did not appear.
There are those who ridicule, some who abuse, and some who expel edg from lpl, but no matter how embarrassing the words are on their lips, these viewers who support lpl do not expect edg to lose consecutively, and to lose to lpl. Taiwan team.
At this time, the entire edg team finally packed up their equipment and set off again to the Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium!
