The strength of EDG in the S7 era is indeed difficult to describe. It all depends on the midfielder pair of Ming Kai and Li Rucan, who 'tear the wound'.
Iboy, who just debuted, has too little experience, is too immature, and has big problems with his mentality.
Even Tian Ye, who won the MSI championship at the peak of his debut, also stepped into the quagmire of chaos after experiencing successive losses in S5 and S6. S7 can be called EDG's biggest criminal.
As for EDG's top order, I can only say that everyone understands it.
After Mouse moved to RW in S8, he lived a second life, killing most of the LPL team's top laners with an offensive top laner, but in EDG he could only use a forehand with Daiki and a backhand with Maokai.
Even if you can occasionally get some top lane carry heroes like Rambo, you will never be able to become the core of EDG's offense.
Before S7, EDG was a team that mainly focused on defensive counterattacks. However, after S7, they changed their normal style and turned into a mid-field attack-based battle.
However, Mingkai's offensive nature can only be said to be understood by everyone!
Mingkai's blind monk is the epitome of EDG's performance in the entire S7 World Championship.
This is why EDG always likes to design some first-level groups in S7. They must rely on first-level groups to gain early advantages and lay an advantage for the offense.
The reason why RNG in the previous generation was able to double-kill SSG in the group stage was not only due to problems with SSG's version understanding, but also mainly because it opened a gap in SSG's bottom lane.
EDG's midfielder couldn't take advantage of SSG's midfielder at all. Although the top lane could withstand the pressure in the early stage, the bottom lane also couldn't gain an advantage.
How can EDG win like this?
Whenever EDG gains an advantage, there will be bursts of cheers at the scene, as if their cheers can increase EDG's combat effectiveness and allow EDG to win this game.
But more often than not, SSG has the upper hand. Faced with this situation, the fans at the scene would be extremely silent. It was obviously Jiangcheng Sports Center but it was like Jiangcheng Library!
The audience in the official live broadcast room could not feel the heart-wrenching feeling of the live audience, and the various barrages were simply unsightly.
The final game time came to 45 minutes. SSG successfully won the Double Dragons with four points and one point. They defeated EDG in a wave of 0 for 5 and won the game.
The moment SSG broke the EDG crystal, countless fans and viewers were silent.
The 'fishing' theory was also due to RNG's defeat and the complete reversal of EDG's poor performance, and the online abuse was overwhelming.
"I'm laughing to death! I'm really laughing to death! This is LPL! Damn it, this is the year with the best chance of winning the championship. What idiot said this?"
"I can only say that you are too impatient! As a ten-year-old fan of EDG, isn't it the proper meaning of the question that EDG cannot beat the LCK team?"
"That's right! I want to say that RNG should be able to qualify with a high probability! If EDG wants to qualify, they have to fight hard."
"It really amuses me. Are you a fan of EDG? Can you say such heartless and outrageous remarks?"
"You must be a new fan or a black man, right? What did I say wrong? EDG and Mingkai, you can't have high expectations for them."
"That's right, EDG is here to run with you anyway. What really depends on the results is IG. Hehehe..."
"Are you still bragging about IG? After beating RNG and EDG, you really don't know who you are?"
"I predict that IG will lose to C9 later, what do you guys say?"
"That would be so fun!"
"Don't be embarrassed, brothers! It's too outrageous for IG to lose to C9!"
…
The Internet is full of people trolling EDG and RNG, and even IG is being criticized for being ridiculed in various ways.
The key is that in the post-match interview, SSG's top laner Cuvee spoke very emotionally.
"The reason why we were able to beat EDG was that IG's 41-point victory over SKT gave us inspiration and allowed us to find the answer to the version! Unexpectedly, EDG, who is also an LPL team, did not learn IG's tactics. Maybe they have their own A unique understanding, right?”
Cuvee didn't express any sarcasm when he said this. He really just expressed his doubts.
But as soon as his words came out, EDG's discussion environment suddenly got worse.
The LCK teams all expressed that they were learning and understanding IG's version, but as a result, the LPL teams EDG and RNG did not choose to follow suit.
The next game after EDG is SKT versus AHQ.
Facing AHQ, SKT taught AHQ how to behave with 41 points.
I have to say that Huni is really good at bullying. He has been a human shield in SKT for a whole season, and now he has become the C position of the team. With the help of Little Peanut, he beat AHQ's carry Ziv to the point of dizziness.
In the end, he won the game easily.
The interviewer after the game was Lee Sang Hyuk. With his current status, there was no need to ridicule anyone. He just said that SKT should be better at the 41-point system. If they fight for 41 points, they are confident that they will not lose to any team.
Lee Sang Hyuk's interview made many LPL viewers and fans point the finger at IG. Blame them for taking out the 41-point system so early and strengthening the LCK team's combat effectiveness.
In a word, e-sports results speak for themselves.
When I was at my peak, all kinds of 'ten-year-old fans' showed up uninvited. But when it fails, these 'ten-year-old fans' will turn into various trolls and black haters.
The game time between IG and C9 is at 8 pm.
At 7:45, IG was preparing to go on stage.
But as soon as they went out, they happened to meet the EDG team who had packed their things and were about to leave the competition venue.
"Come on!" Ming Kai smiled slightly and said to Lin Yuyu in a low voice.
"I think EDG has hope of winning a runner-up spot this year, really!" Lin Yuyu took a step forward, patted Ming Kai's right arm, and said with a particularly serious expression.
Um?
Everyone in EDG looked slightly stunned.
The expressions of everyone on IG suddenly became weird.
These words, this scene...why are they so familiar?
I seem to have heard it somewhere?
"Because this year's champion will only be our IG. I think 7 Jiang you are the strongest jungler this year except Gao Zhenning. Only our IG is qualified to defeat EDG. You and EDG should not fall at the feet of others!" Lin Yuyu continued Said seriously.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Lin Yuyu with strange expressions.
Xi Huang carefully nudged Lin Yuyu with his elbow and signaled to Lin Yuyu: "It's all being recorded over there!"
Recording? Lin Yuyu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted the next moment, and his expression suddenly froze!
Oops!
How come you forgot this?
Lin Yuyu suddenly changed again and again, and finally he had a look of righteousness on his face, and he said sternly: "I'm telling the truth, come on!"
After Lin Yuyu finished speaking, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Ming Kai and everyone in EDG to speak.
The IG crowd smiled at the EDG crowd, turned around and followed Lin Yuyu to the stage.
On the other hand, everyone in EDG looked at the backs of everyone in IG, speechless.
In the end, Mingkai cursed in a low voice, "This little brat!" ’ Finally, everyone from EDG turned and left.
At this time, everyone from IG had already arrived at the player stand. When IG arrived, there were bursts of cheers. However, several people from IG were not in the mood to pay attention to the cheers of the enthusiastic audience. They all looked at Lin Yuyu with strange expressions.
"Are you an e-sports scumbag, Atower?" Xi Huang was the first to speak.
"No! Brother Jianjian, you first said that Uzi is the runner-up AD and Mingkai is the runner-up jungler. Then they are not on the same team. Which one will win the runner-up?" Gao Zhenning's face was full of black question marks.
"Don't ask, just ask. The main thing is fraternity." Song Yijin said with a smile.
"Next year! One team...runners up?" Jiang Chenglu said suddenly.
"..." Everyone was silent for a moment, and then they all typed: "6!"
"Did Mingkai go to RNG, or did the puppy go to EDG?" Gao Zhenning said with bright eyes: "When you say that, I suddenly want to play against them!"
"Isn't this a top-tier LPL team?" Xihuang sighed.
"No! They are the best in the world!" Song Yijin naturally knows the reputation of Mingkai and Uzi in other competition regions.
"Outsiders may not understand e-sports, but you should be able to understand it. In fact, mentality is really important!" Lin Yuyu also joked with everyone for a while, and then explained seriously:
"I just don't want their mentality to be affected. I think they can guarantee the top eight with their strength. There is no problem in getting a place in the group. If their mentality is affected and the group cannot qualify, then I think it will leave regrets!"
"All you have to do is give them chicken blood, right?" Gao Zhenning looked stunned.
"Don't ask, just ask to get your blood pumping." Xihuang concluded with a smile.
"In the future, don't call me Brother Jianjian. How about calling me Brother Jixue instead?" Song Yijin made a suggestion, and everyone burst into laughter again.
The status of everyone on the IG player bench was also simultaneously played on the big screen.
"It can be seen that IG was not affected by the defeats of RNG and EDG. Their mentality is really good!" The Haier brothers, Wawa and Miller were the ones commentating on this game today. The doll said:
"I just saw a saying on the Internet that both RNG and EDG lost today. Now the pressure is on IG. Can IG resist the pressure to hold on for the LPL and keep the last hope in the hearts of fans?"
"I don't think this statement is right!" Miller retorted to Wawa, saying in a very serious voice.
"Then what do you think?" Wawa and Miller were old partners, and he knew what the other person wanted to say with just one look, so he asked.
"My opinion is, how long can C9 last in IG's hands in this game!" Miller's voice raised slightly: "Yesterday, Brother Wenjian issued a competition challenge to LZ Khan in the post-game interview.
Although saying this is a bit insulting, it is enough to prove that in the eyes of Brother Jianjian, there is no essential difference between the teams in Group A and the teams in Group B. They are both 'pigs' that IG can kill at will! Otherwise, Brother Jianjian would not be able to challenge Khan. "
"Wow! Brother, you..." Rao Shiwa's eyes widened at this moment, looking at Miller in disbelief, not knowing how to answer the next words.
Wawa really didn't expect that Miller would say such a thing in such a "fishing" environment.
Once IG loses this game...
Miller will definitely endure the overwhelming abuse along with Hui IG.
"Awesome! Is Miller crazy?"
"How much money did IG give to Miller? To brag about IG like this? It's really outrageous!"
"It's so funny, if IG loses this game, then please ask Mr. Rice to retire on the spot!"
"Anyone who understands the game knows that IG has no problem playing C9."
"That's right! Do you want Miller to try this when playing SKT?"
"IG's super personal ability combined with a super brain like Brother Jianjian is really incomprehensible!"
"I hope IG wins this game. I have lost two games in a row. I really don't want to see IG lose again."
"Brother Jianjian must win today! My girlfriend said that as long as IG wins this game, she will bring her girlfriend to our house to sleep today!"
"Brother Jianjian! As long as you win, I can let you feel what it means to taste like a fairy."
…
"At this time, as a member of the LPL commentators, what we have to do is to choose to believe in IG!" Miller raised his hands and shouted loudly before waiting for the baby to speak: "The audience at the scene, let us send a message to IG!" to the hottest cheers."
"IG! IG! IG!"
"Believe in IG! Believe in IG! Believe in IG!"
Under Miller's shouting, the scene suddenly rang out with IG's shouts, and then it turned into a cry of trust in IG.
Along with the cheers of the audience, the picture on the big screen switched to the BP interface.
"Before, because IG was the No. 1 seed, the games against SKT and AHQ in the past two days were all on the blue side!" Wawa immediately said: "In this game with C9, IG came to the red side. Then. Come down and let’s see how the red side’s IG will perform BP!”
"C9 on the blue side came up and banned Jess and the policewoman! IG still chose to attack from the top and banned Shen and the prince!" Miller said this and couldn't help but clenched his fists with excitement. Shouted: "Both sides do not have strong heroes in the Ban version. Skateboard Shoes, Xia Luo, and Galio are all outside now!"
"This is IG's BP, they are different from other teams!" Wawa also laughed: "We can see that in other games, the red team is responsible for the skateboard ban position.
But IG does not need Ban skateboard shoes. As Brother Wenjian said in the interview after the game yesterday, IG has enough system heroes that its opponents cannot handle in exchange! "
At this moment, C9 on the blue side took the initiative to ban the skateboard shoes on the third hand!
"Haha! This is IG. The blue square Ban skateboard shoes are the only BP in this world championship!" Miller was equally excited and wanted to jump up: "So what if I get you skateboard shoes? How dare you let go? Is Xia Luo the bottom lane of my IG?"
"That's right! IG can take Galio with its super personal laning ability, but you C9 dare to take Galio in the first three hands?" Wawa raised his right fist high: "IG's mid laner is Rookie, even Faker's Galio I can't even fly in front of Rookie.
Although I have to admit that C9's mid laner is very strong, no matter how strong it is, can it still be better than Faker? Rookie won't wait for the team battle at all, and will break Galio's wings during the laning phase! Want to fly and become a hero? Galio, who is opposite IG, can only appear like a bear! "
Seeing C9's self-made skateboard shoes, Song Yijin asked Mafa: "What are you buying on the third floor? Are you buying Luo?"
"We don't need to ban Luo, Ban Xia, we can just trade Luo for Galio!" Mafa hesitated for a moment, then expressed his thoughts: "We don't want to fight in the late game in this game, we will deal with them in the early game, no need to take Xia!"
Song Yijin nodded slightly when he heard the words, but he did not ban Xia immediately. Instead, he waited quietly for a moment. After seeing that Lin Yuyu had no other objections, he banished Xia!
After the ban, the hero with the highest priority outside now, besides Rakan, is Galio. Next is Rourou, the wild wine barrel pig girl, and the remaining incense burner monsters.
Faced with this situation, C9 naturally grabbed Luo without hesitation!
IG on the red side locked Galio and Verus backhand.
Everyone can feel the killing intent emanating from IG’s two selections!
Please vote for me, please vote for me!
There is another update today!
