Following the completion of the two games in Group C, Group A and Group B also concluded the first round of the group stage that day.
Compared with edg's loss to double champion skt, which was expected and reasonable, but a result that was difficult for lpl fans to accept, the subsequent games were completely unexpected and unpredictable.
First, North American Light c9 defeated g2 in group a, and then im upset and stole the tower to defeat Huya rox.
Then the European team h2k, which had two wins in Group B, lost to fw, which had two losses. Then the wild card anx had another double upset, defeating the North American team clg.
The entire group stage was in chaos!
To the despair of all competition regions, only the three teams from lck maintained a stable winning rate in the group stage from beginning to end!
However, edg, who lost the crucial game, did not have the energy to study the teams outside the group. They had to adjust the team's condition to the best within the short three-day offseason.
It’s different from losing to intz before.
After losing to skt in the third group match.
There is actually a lot of pressure on Meixia's own mid lane!
Faker or KKoma actually saw through her plan to hide Ryze in the first round of the group stage. It can only be said that all players and coaches are not NPCs in the game. They have their own thinking and make excellent judgments.
I'm afraid that in the subsequent group stages, knockout rounds and even the finals, it will be difficult for the information she remembered before time travel to keep up with the changes!
She can no longer hide a large number of mage heroes like msi to catch her opponents off guard in the finals.
So in the future games, what she can rely on is as she said in the previous interview - only her own operation and united teammates!
She is still extremely confident in her operations, but as a teammate, she has returned to training her teammates...
Especially the factory director...
GIFs of the blind monk's w and e running out of energy and being unable to perform q and rq have been circulated in various forums. The rumors of the elderly blind monk before the game have become an ironclad fact.
Although the factory director was not stupid enough to defeat himself by surfing the Internet, due to his personal operation, he lost to SKT, leaving mika4-0, a vampire who did not die even once, unable to save the world. He must not be able to forgive himself in his heart.
Meixia tried to continue the previous plan to defeat the factory director against the blind monk ptsd.
Considering that it is difficult for a jungler to improve solo, she went one step further and found the director of the double queue.
The factory director who was in a good state felt that it was a rare opportunity to relax when he received Mika's double row invitation.
After all, Sakura Girl is the king of China and South Korea, and getting points is like drinking water. It is very easy to play with her in duo queue. In addition, she also comes with a beautiful girl to play with. It is simply a service that countless lol players cannot enjoy even if they pay a lot of money.
But when he entered the game, he was dumbfounded.
Mixia wanted to intensify training for the factory director, so she had to secretly increase the difficulty of the game, so she used hero training as an excuse to play a lot of heroes including mid laner Yasuo, Nan Dao, and Lulu who couldn't even compete in the game. .
At the same time, their US server accounts are official super accounts. Although they have only reached the master level, their opponents are basically passers-by and professional players.
Facing a bunch of unique heroes and version mages of the opponent, even if Mika has all kinds of operations, he can't reverse the version to gain an advantage - just like when playing Go and letting the opponent have five pieces at the beginning, even the eight-time Go champion cannot Played against ordinary professional players.
The burden of carrying falls on the shoulders of the factory director.
Then came the terrifying six consecutive ranking kneelings!
For a time, all e-sports forums in China were discussing it.
[edg's midfielder and jungler are in miserable condition, kneeling for six consecutive times in the rankings! 】
【blind monk! The factory director is still practicing blind monk! Abu, if it doesn't work, why don't we ban the blind monk? !
】
[Mika-chan, don’t be in a sluggish state due to losing streak, edg depends on you to support it...]
…
After three days of devilish training, the director lost confidence in the blind monk and became less confident about his current strength. He even had endless worries about whether EDG could break the curse of the top eight.
And Meixia could feel that her plan was moving towards success step by step.
That's it! As long as the factory director loses confidence in himself and gives up, he will no longer be overwhelmed by pressure on the field!
At rock bottom, any direction you go is up!
In fact, in the last day of qualifying, the director was able to perform operations such as r-dodge naturally, and led mika to lose seven games in a row!
The moment he won the rankings, the director felt that his whole body was excited. This feeling of dragging his teammates forward reminded him of the late game in WE. Although it was painful, he could truly feel his own strength. , the real strength of the King's Bureau of raising pigs!
It was only in EDG, with players like Namei, Pawn, and Mika, that there was no need for him to have a carry effect. He became a herbivorous jungler who only existed when he was escaping, losing his former kingly demeanor.
However, if you want to eliminate race phobia for the factory director, mere ranking is not enough.
Meixia estimates that it will take at least until the end of the group stage for the factory director to fully return to the strength of the previous LPL playoffs.
The difficulty level has reached the worst she could have expected before the World Championships.
She even felt that her fate was not in her own hands.
What if the factory director is really hopeless and can he really lead EDG to change its destiny by himself?
Although Mixia was reluctant to admit it.
But the fact is that the two defeats in the first round of the group stage were close to a slap in the face, which did give her a lot of frustration.
So much so that when she received a call from Risa on the last day of the offseason, her mood almost broke.
They must be mocking me for carelessly losing to SKT, and then brag about how awesome the LCK team I got from the marketing account.
Although I know Risa cares about her, I'm really sorry for underestimating my sister so much!
Yes, I'm really sorry for letting you see the embarrassing result of my loss to SKT!
However, when the phone was connected, the words spoken on the other side were just a few simple words.
"You just got it! Come on! You must win the championship! Oh Nie-chan!"
Not just in Japanese, "Come on" is shouted in Chinese.
"Uh-huh!" Mixia sniffed.
Well, it turned out that I had wrongly blamed Risa.
"I know! I'm sorry, I lost to SKT in the last game..."
"Hmph! It's all their coach's trick, right! I saw everyone saying that Ou Niejiang doesn't know Ryze, and it's strange for SKT to ban Ryze, but I understand, they must have found out about you from somewhere. Hero pool, I’m afraid of Ou Niejiang’s Ryze, so I’m a coward and banned the hero!”
"Yeah, yeah!" Mixia nodded.
"In the next group match, beat them up!" Lisa said, "Give them a Zero Dragon Tower!"
"It's not that simple, as long as you can win..." Mixia felt that Risa was more arrogant than herself.
"In short, Ou Nie-chan must beat SKT to pieces even if it's for me!" Risa continued.
"Well, there's really nothing I can do about you, so I'll try to do it..." Mixia burst into tears and smiled.
…
After hanging up the phone, the second round of the group stage was just around the corner.
Mixia could feel it, and she had regained her high fighting spirit.
No, her current state is more perfect than before the start of the game.
