EDG used a big victory to regain a little bit of the reputation they had personally destroyed.
Winning C9 may not prove anything, but one thing is for sure, EDG is competitive!
At least they are not as coy and submissive as they were in S5 and S6 when they got to the World Championship.
This time, they won like men!
The most important thing is that they have retained their second place and are expected to reach the quarterfinals!
"It's okay! If this state continues, I think there is hope!"
"Is there hope? I find it difficult. EDG can win this round mainly because the system is a bit overwhelming, but after this battle, other opponents in the same group will start to study. This lineup, you Do you think it can really stand up to research?”
"Let's talk about it now! Maybe EDG also has a back-up plan? Who can say for sure about this kind of thing, anyway, just win now! EDG is awesome!"
The fans are happy, and Abu is even happier!
After coming back today, Abu's expression looked completely different from yesterday.
"Good massage! Very good massage! How was it? Are you tired? Do you want the masseur to give you a massage?"
After Zhuang Tian and the others came back, Abu greeted them directly with a smile on his face.
Zhuang Tian shook his arm and said, "I'm not tired, I'm just your sister..."
Abu's face suddenly changed: "Huh? Why are you scolding people when you are so good?"
Zhuang Tian waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, didn't you promise to introduce your twin sisters to me as long as I win the game?"
Abu smiled and said: "Don't worry! I won't lie this time! Just play the game with peace of mind, my sisters can't run away!"
Zhuang Tian: "Brother, with your words, I feel like I can still play BO5 now!"
The factory director also came over at this time and asked: "What is your sister and my sister? What are you talking about?"
Abramovich: "It's none of your business. Get ready. I'll ask you to do a post-match interview later."
Factory Director: "Me? The young master got five kills, why was it me who was interviewed after the game?"
Abramovich: "Zhuang Tian also wants to be interviewed. He is going to the official post-game interview. You go to the LCK."
There will be field reporters in each competition area, and post-match interviews will be conducted after each game.
For a team like EDG that is in the spotlight, the LCK will certainly not let go of such an opportunity.
They originally wanted to interview Zhuang Tian, but because Zhuang Tian's performance was too eye-catching, he was invited away by the organizer. They had no choice but to invite the factory director.
The director of the factory can be considered a veteran. Abramovich is very confident with him. He will be interviewed after the game. He is not worried that he will reveal anything about tactics. He should be able to deal with it more comfortably.
Moreover, if Zhuang Tian goes to the LCK for an interview, Abu is really worried that something bad will happen. After all, Zhuang Tian is too aggressive, and he will play the blowfish trick at every turn, and everyone will die together. Who can withstand this?
At first, the factory director thought this was an ordinary post-game interview. The LCK region is considered a top-tier region, so the questions he asked were not unprofessional, right?
But after some testing, the director found that today’s LCK didn’t seem very friendly!
The LCK post-game interview host is Eunjing.
The factory director didn't know the relationship between Enjing and Zhuang Tian. He only knew that he felt her embarrassment at the first sight when he entered the room.
At first the factory director didn't understand and thought her aunt was here and felt unwell.
But soon he realized that this was not his eldest aunt, but his aunt wanted to throw it in his face! Bloody mouth!
The first few questions were normal, but by the end, each question became more outrageous than the last!
Eunjing: "At the beginning of this season, you and the master once reached the top of the Korean server. At that time, you made bold statements that no one in the LCK could beat it. Is this true?"
Factory Director: "No, no. At that time, we played in the summer split after reaching the top, and basically had no time to score points later, let alone said such arrogant words."
Enjing: "Then it is said that you have been holding a grudge after being beaten up by Pinat last year, and you were beaten up again this year. What did you think at that time? Have you ever thought that you will never be able to fight back in this life?"
Factory Director: "Well, I think I still have a chance. It's impossible to hold a grudge. We are all players on the field and we are all competing fairly. There is no such thing as hatred."
Enjing: "Then there is another question. Your top laner master said before the start of the World Championship that LCK will play casually this year, but you lost against SKT in the first round. What do you think of this?"
Factory Director: "Well, he always speaks with such confidence. I think you should ask him yourself about this."
Eunjing: "Then there is one last question. Will losing to SKT in the first round have an impact on your mentality? Will it affect your next games? What is your goal for this year's World Championship? Winning the championship. ? Still say."
Factory Director: "Well, let's see then. First we have to break through the group stage and do it step by step."
By the end of the question, the factory director was confused by the question.
Even a veteran like him was confused when asked, so one can imagine how sharp these questions are.
Even the factory director had sweat on his face when he returned to the break room.
Zhuang Tian felt something was wrong as soon as he saw his expression.
"Wow, are you going for an interview or running a hundred meters? Are you so tired?"
The factory director took a sip of water: "Don't mention it, brother, I almost won't be able to come back! These questions are so sharp, I won't be able to deal with them!"
Zhuang Tian and the others just felt that the factory director was exaggerating. It was just a post-game interview. How sharp could it be?
It wasn’t until I saw those media reports that I realized how disgusting the LCK is!
[clearlove7 said bluntly in the post-match interview: The quarterfinals are already the final destination, and you have no desire for the championship? 】
[It is suspected that EDG bowed to SKT? Clearlove’s post-game interview revealed shocking insider information, and the battle with SKT led to discord within the team! 】
[Shocking news: Clearlove bluntly said that Masterd only talks harshly, and the relationship between the two is not as good as imagined! 】
【.】
After EDG won the C9 battle, these public opinions began to spread in the LCK forum and even spread to various competition regions.
The factory manager panicked after seeing these posts.
"Brother, you know, these media outlets just write nonsense. That's not what I meant at all."
Zhuang Tian said expressionlessly: "I understand. Let's break up."
Factory Director: "?? Do you eat fried cakes?"
Xiao Zhao and others were also angry and cursed: "These kimchi are really good at scribbling! Isn't this obviously trying to set our pace and sow discord between us?"
Sister control: "That's right! And you, Ming Kai. Why are you so timid during interviews? After hanging out with the young master for so long, why are you pretending that your attributes are not rising but falling instead?"
Factory Director: "I was also confused when I was asked. Faker's woman is indeed not an ordinary person!"
Zhuang Tian: "Don't say this casually. What is a faker's woman? She's still single."
Zhuang Tiandao can roughly guess why this group of LCK media suddenly adopted such a rhythm.
This is stressful!
The performance of the three representative teams of the LCK this season obviously did not meet their expectations, and they have begun to panic!
What was your performance in the previous LCK group stage? Everyone who comes has to shake three times first!
From the early stage all the way to the mid-late stage, the opponent has no hope of winning!
But this year, things seem to have changed!
LZ is still very suppressive, but the second brother and the third brother have already shown a decadent attitude!
SKT started against the odds and relied on a comeback to win!
The third brother Sanxing was beaten so hard by RNG that he couldn't find his way!
They said something and they panicked!
The moment Zhuang Tian's five kills appeared, their sense of crisis reached its peak!
The menacing LPL has become their biggest opponent in the LCK!
If you are not careful... you may be swallowed up by LPL!
They can do things like pull out network cables, and they can also do things like use the media to throw dirty water.
But the more they do that, the more it proves that they are starting to lose their temper.
Time has come to the last day of the first round of the group stage.
After today, the situation in the first round of the group stage will also be completely clear.
After a series of competitions, the first round of the group stage came to a successful conclusion.
Here are the points rankings for each group:
Group A: SKT3-0, EDG2-1, C91-2, AHQ0-3.
Group B: LZ3-0, FNC2-1, IMT1-2, GAM0-3.
Group C: RNG3-0, Samsung 2-1, G2 1-2, FB0-3.
Group D: WE2-1, TSM2-1, MSF2-1, FW0-3.
When this name comes out, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the provincial team has been seriously affected.
"What's going on? Is the provincial team acclimated? Why can't they win a game?"
"The number one seed of Lightning Wolf was beaten 0-3? My grandma is more useful than them!"
"The child is naughty. He runs away from home day by day. He doesn't want to inherit any of his father's skills."
"Hahaha, that's so reasonable! You still hate not having tea eggs to eat at home. Now it's hard to be homeless and eat dirt, right?"
"Zhi Zhen, even if the kings of the national server form a random team, the record will be better than theirs, right?"
After all, the provincial team is just a provincial team, and it cannot win no matter how hard it fights for resources.
In the early days when the S tournament was first held, everyone's level was not high enough, so maybe you could still have some fighting ability.
But as the major teams gradually became regularized and resources began to be integrated, the disadvantages of the provincial teams emerged.
Putting aside the provincial teams, the LCK is still strong.
First in two groups and second in one group, Kimchi is still the well-deserved leader of the league.
But there is one phenomenon that makes LPL viewers very comfortable, and that is RNG! Outstanding RNG!
"RNG! never, giveUP!!!!"
"I, RNG, finally stood up!"
"All-China class is awesome!"
“Uzi beef batch!!!”
"What happened to the contract team? The contract team can win the championship! Who the heck wants to leave the team that can win the championship? Anyone who wants to leave is a fool!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! You're right! You're talking about Zhenpiao Niang!"
"So what if you have five kills? Is the five-kill team first?"
"Hehehe"
Damn it! He was disguised by the emperor.
One thing to say, this version of RNG is indeed quite strong.
In addition to the version, there is another very important reason, which is self-confidence!
The team members’ confidence has increased!
The confidence brought by the winning streak made their whole team play very calmly!
With calm laning, clear tactics, and accurate positioning, this kind of team will often show better team strength than usual, and it is natural to win the game.
Just be afraid. A sudden break in rhythm!
But at present, it seems that no one in Group C is their opponent.
As long as RNG can maintain this state, maybe they can really reach the top this season!
