Half an hour before the start of the game, the big screen was constantly scrolling with highlights of EDG and Samsung's World Championship.
If you look carefully, you will find that most of the highlight moments are from EDG, accounting for about 7:3.
There are also many shots of the director.
The official seemed to be giving the director more footage intentionally or unintentionally, and fans speculated that the official might be setting up a foreshadowing.
"No, it feels like there are Easter eggs in the big screen before the game!"
"No, why do I suddenly want to cry when I look at it!"
"Don't you understand what it means? If EDG were eliminated today, the factory director would probably hold a retirement ceremony on the spot!"
"Cry! Let the labor and management cry hard!"
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.
LPL doesn't even need thirty years, it only takes one week, and the world has changed!
At the end of the group stage, they were still bragging that this year was the most promising year. At the beginning of the quarterfinals, they took the first place in two groups!
This huge psychological gap makes fans feel like heaven has fallen into hell.
The scariest thing is that kimchi is starting to show up!
"I admit that the LPL has made great progress this year. Three teams actually ranked first in the group, and three of them were eliminated in the quarterfinals at the same time! It's really neat! It's amazing!"
"I only heard about the unity of the LPL before, but now I really see it! I admire it!"
"Let us witness EDG's elimination together! LPL, fighting!"
It hurts my heart! Iron juice!
Before the game even started, there were people crying and mourning. How could this be okay?
The atmosphere is wrong!
This is the home court of the LPL. Isn’t there anyone who is energetic?
Then, dad came!
Others may be pessimistic, but my adoptive father is always optimistic!
In the quarterfinals, trash talk is also indispensable.
It’s just that the organizers extended the trash talk session this time and turned it into an exclusive interview with each player, which was cut together into a pre-game promotional video.
When characters began to appear on the big screen, Zhuang Tian's figure was the first to come into view!
"What are the top eight magic spells? I never believe there are such things."
"I have never said that I want to be a savior, and I don't think I am EDG's savior, let alone the hope of the whole village."
"I'm just an e-sports young master, what can you expect from me?"
When Zhuang Tian said these words, the pressure on the scene became even lower.
Yes, from the beginning to the end, he was just an e-sports master. Now the LPL is so humble that it has to rely on such a person?
When thinking about this, LPL fans are in pain.
"But if you want to beat Samsung. Even RNG can beat them twice, so if I beat them three times, it's not too much, right?"
One sentence made the barrage burst into laughter again!
"Hahaha! Reasonable! So reasonable!"
"As long as you are Yin Yang RNG, then we will be good friends!"
"Inexplicably, I have a better impression of this batch!"
"One thing to say, he really has no pressure. This is the good thing about the e-sports young master. Public opinion has no impact on him, and he can beat anyone with ease."
"Maybe EDG really needs to rely on him to save them today?"
"Don't worry, does my adoptive father C still have enough appearances?"
For LPL viewers, it is difficult for them to define Zhuang Tian.
I definitely don’t like it, I even dislike it at first.
But gradually, as time went by, their dislike of him was no longer as strong as before.
Now I feel a sense of dependence?
This feeling is indescribable.
If I have to make an analogy, it's like I have a boyfriend, I can't see him, and I can't let him go when I get home.
Only you know whether you feel comfortable or not.
Especially after WE and RNG were both confirmed to be eliminated, this feeling is extremely obvious!
"Well, should we cheer for EDG today?"
"Go ahead...after all, we are also an LPL team."
"But he has that batch in his team!"
"I passed C in that batch! Besides, if you don't count on that batch, who can you count on?"
"Okay! That batch. Come on, Master! Come on EDG!"
After much anticipation, EDG is finally here!
As the hope of the whole village, they came to power!
The moment all EDG members appeared, the crowd cheered one after another!
In addition to cheering for EDG and LPL, the loudest fans are the fans of the factory director!
"Come on Mingkai!"
"It's all up to you! Director!"
"The factory director wants to win!"
"Even if you lose, don't retire! Director!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
How desperate
It smells so sad that the listener sheds tears!
Being an LPL fan is really hard!
Others can hold two in three years! LPL can't win a championship trophy in seven years?
As the center of attention, the director's whole body began to tremble as soon as his butt touched the gaming chair.
Come up and drink water first.
IBOY: "Wow! Brother Changzi, you have so many fans! I feel so many today! I wish I could be like you anytime. If I want to have so many fans, I can retire where I am!"
Zhuang Tian: "Stop saying a few words! Xiao Zhao! No one wants to drive screws without your emotional intelligence. Brother Factory, are you okay?"
Factory Director: "Yeah. There's no problem with the microphone. I can hear you."
Zhuang Tian: "."
Girl control: "It's over! This guy is suffocated by the pressure! Master, you get a C on this one!"
Zhuang Tian: "Don't worry, leave it to me. Even if you are lagging behind today, I can still give you a look!"
Sister control: "You know how to use metaphors."
After both parties have finished debugging the equipment, the main game begins!
In the commentary box, the Haier brothers took a deep breath!
"Okay audience friends! Come on! Let's watch the first showdown between the two sides today!"
"EDG on the blue side, Samsung on the red side! EDG has the advantage in terms of BP!"
EDG's first three bans banned Galio, Rakan and Feng Nu respectively.
Samsung took down the Spear of Revenge, Jace and Lulu.
It is rare for both sides to completely block the support position. Lulu and Feng Nu, the most popular support heroes in the two versions, were both banned.
Moreover, even the strongest Xian Luo in this version of the team has been banned by EDG, which will test the hero pool of the support players on both sides.
But that's not what the audience focused on. They only saw Galio.
"Look! Even EDG knows they want to ban Galio, why don't you RNG know?"
"??? Do you think what you are saying is human? What do you mean, EDG knows to ban Galio? Is EDG not that much better than your hot chicken RNG?"
"Who is the number one seed?"
"Who has gone home?"
"Please some fans of the spectator team watch the game and watch your hands and stop typing on the keyboard!"
At this time, everyone in RNG was really not in a hurry to leave. They were still sitting together in the hotel.
They came to see Samsung send EDG out!
Xiaohu: “Do you think it’s possible for Samsung to send EDG home?”
Puppy: "That's a must! What the hell is EDG? Samsung is still very strong, okay? It just can't beat us."
The upright social Ming has a different view: "No, I think EDG is also pretty good. We all have a chance."
Xiangguo: "Shi Senming, where are you from? Even if EDG really has a chance, we have to cheer for Samsung! Have you forgotten how this batch disgusted us? We are all out of the top eight, and they must also Die with us!"
Yan Junze nodded and said: "Don't worry, the power of God has begun to guide Samsung to activate the ancient power in the body!"
There is still a big difference in style between the Samsung team and SKT.
EDG's coaching staff has been studying Samsung for a long time during the offseason and has come to the conclusion that...
The styles of players in other positions will probably not change, but the most likely change will be in the top lane!
If you watch Samsung's games carefully, you will find that cuvee is the only player who has played multiple types of top laners in the group stage!
Rambo, Kennen, Troll, Big Bug, Qinggang Shadow
From single belt, to tank front row, to team battle AOE, and even back row killer, he has dabbled in it all!
I can figure out the style of other positions, but I’m really unsure about the top lane position!
Therefore, nofe immediately asked Zhuang Tian for his opinion: "God, is there anything in particular you want to play with this game?"
Zhuang Tian: "Don't worry, I'll take a look at the opponent's first three moves before making a decision."
Factory Director: "How about I get rid of the pig first? Boss An also likes to play with pigs. I happen to raise pigs, and I can steal it from him. He might feel uncomfortable."
Sister control: "I think it's okay."
Zhuang Tian: "I don't think so. There are many choices for jungle positions. Let's take small cannons first. Small cannons have a higher priority than pigs. If Ruler Emperor takes Verus or something like that, that would be great!"
nofe nodded after hearing this: "IBOY, is that okay?"
Xiao Zhao: "I can do either."
EDG took down the small cannon on the first floor first, and Samsung took the pig girl plus Karma in the backhand.
When there are not too many auxiliary heroes, it is reasonable to get Karma first.
They have also watched the games between SKT and EDG. They have never regarded Xiao Zhao as a newcomer, especially when he got the small cannon, he did behave like a veteran of the World Championship.
Of course, it would be more perfect if there were fewer mistakes.
Immediately afterwards, the round came to EDG.
After thinking about it for a long time, EDG chose to take the prince and wet nurse!
When this combination reappeared on the world stage and the LPL team, some people's wounds were opened!
"Stealing a master? Isn't this our RNG lineup?"
"If you steal a master, you won't steal something good, like the one my RNG was beaten by?"
"To be honest, EDG is really following in the footsteps of my RNG. They can't even learn it! This lineup... I call it Ya Tuo!"
"Isn't this nanny going to be used as a breakthrough point?"
"Congratulations to Samsung, you won the first victory!"
When their favorite home team is eliminated, these people start to spread negative energy elsewhere.
If it were another team's game barrage, they might still be able to make a difference.
But on EDG's barrage, they really couldn't pretend!
"How can Gouba's cerebellum shrink and his mouth beep like that? Open your eyes and see, why is it the same? I, EDG Galio, have been banned, have you, the champion of the void, RNG, banned?"
"Targeting it against the nanny? You're laughing so hard! Target it at your horse!"
"Swearing? Urgent, urgent, urgent. EDG fans are so anxious!"
"Yes! It's very urgent! But it's better to be anxious than to be cold!"
"Sorry, let me interrupt. Has the RNG championship award ceremony started? Which village is it at? I have a wreath here for them, not a flower basket."
I can't afford to offend...just slipped away.
