Chapter 190 Facing EDG, the battle between the old and new MSI champions!

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Well, in fact, I didn’t drink much. Except for Chris and the new manager Guokui, who had a draft beer each, everyone else was drinking. Li Fu had a cup of lemon tea, which cost 23 yuan.

The weight is similar to that of Master Kong iced black tea in a large barrel, but the price is five to six times higher.

In the past, he wouldn't order these even if he had a meal, but now he does so without any hesitation.

It’s not much different than buying a bottle of mineral water.

Li Fu was also a little sad. In less than half a year, his life and career had undergone earth-shaking changes, and all of this was due to his efforts.

Hmm. Maybe a little help.

But it’s no wonder that Chinese people talk about things at the dinner table.

Originally, there was a big change in the IG team in the summer split. Even though the new players had been in the team for a while, everyone would say hello when they met, and there was always a sense of politeness.

But after winning the first victory today and bringing everyone together to have a drink at Hu Eat Sea, everyone obviously relaxed.

Even in the bottom lane competing for the post, Baolan discussed Misaka Mikoto and Dai Mao Wang with She Keke. A sturgeon, a generation veteran of IG, stood up frequently with a cup in hand, asking for a cup with everyone.

He is also an old player. Last season, several months have passed since he was pushed back to the bench by Li Fu when he was in danger.

By now, A sturgeon's mentality has been settled, or at peace.

Life is originally a process of confronting the world, understanding the world, and coming to terms with the world.

Not everyone can get better and better as they get older like Li Fu. At this stage of his career, most professional players basically play one game less.

Therefore, A sturgeon knows that what he has to do next is to cherish every opportunity to play and try his best to leave a mark in the history of e-sports during the last period of his career.

Leave the rest to Li Fu.

If you think about it carefully, he has never seen an S crown since he fought hard in S2.

If he can stand behind Li Fu and win an S-Crown trophy in the last stage of his career, it might not be the most colorful stroke in the blank picture of his career in the World Championship.

It also made up for the last regret of his career.

Others are envious and envious but don’t know.

But if that day comes, when PDD invites the old IG five-member group to dinner, the old teammates, including Xiaoxiao, will definitely criticize them with envy.

Then A sturgeon must calmly answer the phone and say that Riot officials are looking for him to discuss the details of customizing the champion skin, and he will be greeted by the envious and murderous looks of his old teammates.

That picture is so refreshing just thinking about it!

You must know that championship skin is a reward that can only be obtained by the S crown, and it is also the highest honor in every professional player's career. No one can get the skin without taking the S crown.

If so, then he is not human.

Therefore, A sturgeon has a really calm mentality in this summer game and does not rush to play. However, he will also do his own training tasks on weekdays in case of emergencies.

Of course, everything is relative.

There is a stable person like A sturgeon in the team.

There are those with a rough mentality.

Top laner Save has a rough heart.

Originally, the only people drinking were coaches and managers. They didn't have to worry about affecting their hand speed and reaction when they weren't playing games.

Although the IG club does not clearly stipulate that players cannot drink alcohol, most professional players, whether they are veterans or young players, will subconsciously avoid alcohol.

To be honest, alcohol is too harmful to professional players.

But Save played very boringly today.

Although he obviously won the game, he couldn't be happy, and he still felt a faint sense of crisis in his heart.

This kind of boredom made him look up at the beer in front of Chris and Guokui, and suddenly he raised his hand and reached over, as if he wanted to have a drink to relieve his boredom.

Unexpectedly, he was pushed down by the new manager Guokui.

"What are you doing?"

"I'd like a drink."

"Are you going to be able to play EDG the day after tomorrow?"

"Ah? Of course."

"Then don't drink."

Save raised his head and met the new management team's gaze.

Guokui's gaze was not as aggressive as when former manager Su Xiaoluo gave orders, but it was filled with an unquestionable meaning, or an exchange of equal value.

After drinking this glass of wine, you will stop having sex the day after tomorrow.

Although the conversation between the two was not loud and short, it was still clearly heard by everyone in the club.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, and Li Fu also looked at the new manager Guokui in surprise.

Not surprised by his strength, but surprised that he would not hesitate to offend people in such a matter.

Although Su Xiaoluo often offended others in the past, it was usually for his own benefit. As for players drinking, smoking and chatting with friends, he could care less and die. It was not his career that was ruined anyway.

But the performance of the new manager Guokui today surprised Li Fu.

Save didn't seem to want to take a sip of wine and was stopped by someone. After looking at each other with Guokui, he finally gave up and calmly let go and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chris couldn't help but smile and smooth things over and said, "Okay, okay, the manager also cares about everyone, alcohol is not a good thing, so we won't drink anymore, everyone will drink, come on, come on! Let's lift it up together Cup, cheers to our good start against NB today!"

"Cheers, cheers!"

"Continue to rush the day after tomorrow!"

Chris's words immediately made the atmosphere at the table cheerful again.

Li Fu smiled and raised his glass to join everyone else, but he couldn't help but glance at Guokui, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

As a regular club team, there must be someone who is the "bad guy".

Chris's character determines that he cannot be the bad guy. Su Xiaoluo doesn't mind, but he is willing to be the bad guy more to squeeze the residual value of the players.

Now, there was finally a person in the club who was a bad guy for the sake of "morality". A smile couldn't help but appear in Li Fu's eyes.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a brighter future.

Returning to the club in the evening, Li Fu took the time to check out the Tieba. In the past, the posture often brought him to do this. Now after the transfer of the posture, Li Fu often does it alone when he has nothing to do.

He is also a common man. He plays a brilliant game and naturally wants to be praised by others.

Regarding today's game between IG and NB, the anti-pressure bar that always adheres to "the winner is justice" is indeed one-sided.

"Gitui! Fuhuang is invincible!"

"Is this the value of MSI's world-class jungler?"

"What about the fans who asked IG to return the championship trophy to QG? I gave you a chance, but you failed."

"Swift's bad guy made me laugh to death. Looking at the two games, he's not as good as me."

"I don't need to say more about who should stand in the middle and jungle split last season, right?"

"Go to LSPL quickly and invite Big B back."

"Big B: Oh my god! You were the one who wanted to separate, just separate."

"."

Li Fu couldn't help but be amused when he looked at the comments in the forum.

He finally understood why after finishing the game with a posture, he could clear the resistance bar for half a day. Everyone here was talented and talked nicely, and he fell in love with it.

The next day, May 5.

There is no game today for IG, the MSI champion, after they return, but at 5pm, the door outside the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center seems to be even more lively than yesterday.

At a glance, countless fans lined up in long queues to fill the huge square in front of the venue.

There is no other reason.

Today is the day when RNG plays WE.

At the same time, it is also the day when RNG’s much-anticipated summer game Galaxy Battleship is launched for the first time.

In addition, the 2.0 version of the universe team WE itself also has a huge fan base. When these two teams fight, the excitement is no less exciting than yesterday's opening match between IG and NB.

RNG is the opponent that IG will inevitably encounter in the second round of the regular season this summer. Li Fu and the others did not miss this game. They just did not go to watch the game. When five o'clock came, they stopped training and concentrated all their training in the tactical conference room. .

After all, they are the most popular team, and the barrage in the official LPL live broadcast room before the game was full of chaos.

"Boldly predict that RNG will take home a perfect 2-0!"

"Indeed, I feel like there is no point where WE can beat RNG."

"I said Gou Ye + Mata are the strongest bottom lane in the LPL. Do you have any objections?"

"."

Of course, WE fans are not to be outdone.

"How can my brother-in-law not be as good as Uzi?"

"Trivia: Which one named Galaxy Battleship will end well?"

"Please RNG fans, please stop boasting about their paper strength, then just don't play the game."

"."

Amidst the commotion, the two teams of LPL Yusanjia finally started playing.

At 03: in the afternoon, the round of B ended. The ending was both reasonable and unexpected.

It makes sense that the winner is RNG. After all, RNG won the first place in Group B last season and is the most favorable competitor for the Spring Championship.

If IG hadn't appeared halfway through, it would have definitely been the RNG team representing the LPL in MSI.

Unexpectedly, it was two to zero.

Including everyone watching the IG game, they thought that WE would lose, but to be honest, WE's paper strength in the Summer Split is also very strong, otherwise it would not be called the 2.0 version of WE. Everyone thinks that WE will encounter RNG today. The newly launched Galaxy Battleship can at least win a small game even if it loses.

The result was a direct win of 2-0.

For a time, countless WE fans at the scene and in the live broadcast room were silenced.

RNG fans also took direct advantage of it, and almost the entire Internet was caught up in the carnival of RNG fans!

"Hahaha! RNG is invincible!"

"RNG is awesome! I declare that Gou Ye + Mata are the best bottom lane in the universe!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I feel sorry for Master Gou. He has been tricked by the color pen assistant all these years."

"To be honest, if I had a support like Mata earlier, my dog ​​would have won the Triple Crown a long time ago."

"."

Yin-Yang theory is not yet popular these days.

So these are the sincere thoughts of RNG fans.

It just seems a bit overwhelming to outsiders.

There was even a Zhihu big V fan of RNG who started a topic and it quickly became a hot search topic.

"If it were RNG that represented the LPL in MSI last month in the summer split, how many games could SKT last? 》

To be honest, the person who asked this question is a bit unreasonable.

But RNG has so many fans.

It really attracted a lot of people to come back, and even some RNG fans’ answerers carefully analyzed the question, making this topic quickly reach the top five of Zhihu’s hot searches.

"One thing to say, if MSI were to be the Galaxy Battleship deluxe version of RNG in the summer split, two words, sweep!" ˆ ˆ ˆ "If RNG beat SKT in the MSI finals, I feel that with RNG's current paper strength, SKT should not be able to survive the fourth round. Field, three to one can’t be any more.”

"Indeed, Xiaohu is the LPL version of Faker. The only thing less than Faker is the championship."

"."

In these answers, the world champion IG, which MSI and SKT fought hard to win in a BO5, was inevitably compared with RNG in the summer split. The final conclusion was that there was no comparability at all.

Fans feel that regardless of the middle and jungle, RNG's upper and lower wings completely destroyed IG.

Many people even think that

Even with the addition of midfielder, the combination of Xiaohu and Malaxiangguo is not necessarily weaker than the combination of Rookie and Li Fu. Especially older professional players like Li Fu are declining every day, while Malaxiangguo is at the age where his skills are improving.

So many people feel that when they meet again this summer, the MSI world champion will be vulnerable to the Galaxy Battleship in the LPL Summer Split!

Some people even posted posts with overwhelming confidence as proof - when the second round of regular season competition between different teams occurs, IG will definitely be torn to pieces by RNG, mocking those who oppose it for not believing that they will dig their graves and confront each other when the time comes.

On the bank of Huangjie River, IG Club.

"RNG has great momentum this season."

After watching the game between RNG and WE, coach Chris couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Compared with the combination of Uzi and Mata, although IG currently has many people in the bottom lane, no matter how it is matched, it is too immature in front of such champion support and two-time runner-up AD.

The new manager Guokui also nodded, and then said with a smile, "But it's still early to play RNG. We still have a long time to train, and we can always find the most suitable combination."

This naturally refers to the bottom road.

Upon hearing this, the six people on the bottom lane also focused their attention.

"If we play against EDG tomorrow, why not switch to Wuxx and Coco in the lane." Having said this, Guokui glanced at the other people who were not named and were obviously a little disappointed, and encouraged him again, "Playing against EDG is a tough battle, we must Be cautious and don’t worry if you don’t play tomorrow. Don’t relax in training. There are still many games to come. I guarantee that everyone will have a chance to play before the end of the first round of the regular season.”

The implication of Guokui's words is obvious.

Former manager Su Xiaoluo bought them all, and it would be a waste not to use them.

It is better to "catch the ghost" by arranging and combining, and try to select the best IG summer lineup before facing a strong enemy like RNG in the second round of the regular season.

Everyone on IG’s bottom lane didn’t have any objections.

Before coming, everyone knew that he was a substitute and knew his position.

As a substitute, the most fearful thing is to sit on the bench after a season, just like Li Fu in the past, without even a chance to play. That is called despair.

But now new manager Guokui has promised that everyone will be able to play.

As long as you can play, you will have a chance to perform, which is good news for the substitutes.

As for his poor performance after playing, he was dismissed.

No one else is to blame

After all, the cruel thing about e-sports is that it treats everyone equally.

Save felt a little panicked after hearing this.

He knows very well that the official rule of the LPL league is that there cannot be more than three Korean players in the team at any time, and now Guokui promises to give everyone a chance to play.

That means that as long as the AD player in the lower lane who is also a Korean player comes on the field, and Rookie in the middle lane is immobile, he must be replaced.

who?

Then of course it would be Li Fu.

From Save's heart, although he had seen Li Fu's amazing top laner in the fifth life-and-death game of the MSI finals.

But like many people, he also believed that that life-and-death game was not so much about Li Fu's performance in singles as it was the male gunner's unexpectedly outstanding performance on the top lane.

As a jungler, Li Fu is good at male spear.

As for a jungler actually playing top lane, to be honest, Save doesn't think a temporary top laner can be compared with a player like him who specializes in top lane.

Thinking of this, Save couldn't help but grit his teeth and secretly made up his mind - tomorrow when playing EDG, he must use all his strength to knock down the Mouse on the opposite road.

This position on the road,

No one can take it away from him!

Time without games always passes quickly.

Before you know it, the time has arrived on Sunday, May 5, the last match day of the first week of the LPL Summer Split.

After Snake defeated SAT earlier, the MSI champion top laner who had just transferred to the Snake team was interviewed and said with a smile that he wished his old team IG success in the next game. The much-anticipated battle for the strongest group B has finally arrived. .

Yes, tonight's battle between IG and EDG will determine the strongest name in Group A in the first week.

Because looking at the six teams in Group A, EDG, IG, NB, Snake, GT and SAT.

Needless to say, GT and SAT, last season's EPA and HYG failed to make it to the playoffs, were sold by the club owner after the promotion to the first division, and are now renamed teams to compete in the LPL Summer Split.

Although GT and SAT have also made reinforcements in the new season, SAT has hired a mid laner, Steady Stick, and on the top lane there is Acorn, who was known as an immortal top laner in S4. GT has also introduced Korean aid top laner GimGoon.

New season, new atmosphere.

The strength of the two teams after changing their names is definitely stronger than last season.

But I don’t know if the team is still in the running-in period, but its performance is not very good. This can be seen from the fact that EDG defeated GT 2-0 on the first day of the game, and this afternoon the Snakes team, which is in a good position, defeated SAT again.

If they cannot integrate the team in time, I am afraid that even if the names of SAT and GT are changed this season, they will be relegated to the fate of being the experience babies of Group B again.

In addition, IG already won NB on the first day of the game.

The current six teams in Group A can be roughly divided into three strength echelons based on their performance in the first week.

First echelon: IG, EDG.

Second Tier: Snakes, NB

The third tier: GT, SAT.

So naturally, after tonight's game between IG and EDG, all the games in the first week of the LPL Summer Split will be over, and the strongest name in Group A in the first week will be revealed.

Anyway, the game hasn’t even started yet, and many fans in the live broadcast room have begun bold analysis and predictions.

"Let me tell you, if Fat Dad is not here, EDG may not be able to cope tonight."

"Didn't the director say that Fat Dad's recovery from his injuries will have little impact on the team (manual dog head)!"

"It's so funny that only the factory director can say this."

"Doesn't anyone know that Scout is also very powerful? This guy is Faker's backup in SKT, and he is probably Pawn's successor in the future."

"Forget about being the successor. Ai Luoli is still the successor of the factory director. Isn't she just a mascot now?"

"Isn't the biggest winner today in the jungle? Do you understand the value of the MSI champion jungler?"

"Hot knowledge: There is more than one MSI champion jungler in the LPL."

"Gitui! Looking at it this way, tonight is not a battle between two MSI champions!"

"."

The water friends are having a heated discussion.

Fans of IG and EDG also began to attack each other.

At this moment, the camera on the big screen turned and showed the commentator.

Not surprisingly, for this popular event that is the final battle of the first week of the LPL Summer Split, the familiar cross talk duo Wawa and Miller are still responsible for commentating today's game.

"Hello, viewers and friends, welcome to the last game of the first week of the 2016 Summer Split. I am the commentator."

"Hi, my name is Miller."

After greeting the audience, Watanabe said with a smile, "The first week of the summer split is over. Currently, Group B is led by RNG. Galaxy Battleship is indeed well-deserved. Now the pressure is on Group A. Who is the strongest in the first week? The team depends on the next round of games. Hey, what do you think of tonight’s game?”

After hearing this, Miller pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose. He didn't mind attracting firepower and calmly analyzed, "To be honest, if it is IG who has returned from MSI, then I have no idea to pressure IG. After all, they have been so successful this spring. The strength is obvious to all, but the IG team only retains the midfielder and jungler in the summer split, and all other positions have been overhauled, so in terms of lineup and team integration, I think EDG is better."

Hearing this, Wawa could not help but smile and said, "Haha, I thought so too. Although IG won NB in ​​the opening game, a lot of problems in the team were also exposed. EDG is very good at studying LPL's internal opponents. team, so I’m actually more optimistic about EDG.”

"Yes, during the regular season last season, although IG won EDG in the six-to-four BO5, they did not defeat EDG in the regular season. From this perspective, we can also see that the EDG team is in The regular season stage does have something unique about them.”

"."

The commentary on the stage started with analysis and predictions.

On the big screen behind the stage, after the players on both sides connected to the equipment and debugged it and confirmed that it was correct, the live music suddenly clanged and the big screen also entered the BP interface.

"Okay, without further ado, let's take a look at BP first."

"Well, this IG is on the blue side and EDG is on the red side. Here is some news. In their second game of the first week today, IG chose to change their formation. Baolan in the support position was replaced and replaced by Keke. ."

"Yes, Baolan, IG's new assistant, actually gives me a pretty good impression. He has a very strong ability to follow the rhythm. He can help Brother Fu get things done every time. The disadvantage may be that when there is no rhythm on the court, He is relatively poor at taking the initiative to lead the rhythm and control his vision. Perhaps this is also a common problem for new players, and they still need training and polishing in competitions."

"That's right, compared to this, Keke's work is much better."

As soon as Miller finished speaking, the sharp-eyed doll noticed something was wrong.

"Eh? EDG's jungler has also been replaced. Oh, it's the director. Why did the director change his name?"

Along with the doll's voice, most of the audience members who had ignored this point at the scene and in the live broadcast room finally reacted and turned their attention to the factory director's ID.

Clearlove7?

What do you mean?

Could it be that the OB interface displays an error?

The backstage staff immediately sent back the news, confirming that this was not a display bug, but that the factory director had submitted an application to the league before today's game to officially change the name from Clearlove to Clearlove7.

After hearing the commentator's retelling confirming the news, the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room were in an uproar.

"Gitui, are you really going to change?"

"What does 7 mean? Pointing at S7? Is it too early?"

"Fuhuang is Padre6, and you are Clearlove7, right? You're so cool!"

“Is this a ‘digital war’?”

"."

There was a lively discussion in the live broadcast room.

So when the BP between the two sides was about to end, everyone came to their senses and returned their attention to the BP.

Let’s look at our respective teammates first.

Blue square IG: Tau, female tank, Titan.

Red side EDG: Leopard Girl, Blind Monk, Troll.

At this time, the red side EDG's last mid-lane hero Tsar was locked, and the lineups on both sides also surfaced.

Blue side IG: top laner Crow, jungler Prince, mid laner Clockwork, bottom laner Lucian and Lulu.

Red square EDG: top laner Poppy, beat wild boar girl, mid laner Tsar, bottom lane wheel mother and Bud.

The moment two lineups came out.

The first battle since the return of the two-time LPL MSI champion team has officially begun.

At the EDG competition table, the factory manager suddenly showed a smile.

Just like when IG played NB, the junglers on both sides were not on the same "version reading" channel at all. When the director was playing GT the day before yesterday, he met the jungler named Wushuang who was still playing the previous version of Leopard Girl. Obviously, he was the same. If they are not on the same channel, it will not be so easy for the factory director to win.

But in today's game between IG and EDG, the moment he saw the opponent's prince, the director felt relieved.

Right!

Li Fu and his "version reading" are the same.

What the factory director is best at is this kind of game where he knows himself and the enemy. He can play the opponent until his head spins.

Thinking about this,

The factory director's eyes couldn't help but become brighter and sharper.

I have the advantage today!
