I just messed around, how could I become the number one in the world?

Chapter 289: A chance encounter with SKT

The lottery results are out!
And the result of this draw is very good for both SKT and WE.

The probability of these two teams advancing to the semi-finals is very high!

The two most exciting games are the games between RNG and LZ!

There is also a game between EDG and SSG!
For a long time, LPL has been unable to beat LCK, and only the emergence of EDG changed this situation.

The only ones that can defeat SKT in the BO5 of the S game are OMG in S4 and EDG last year.

In fact, netizens like EDG very much, and they also like RNG very much. Needless to say, WE, the LPL is a family.

LPL netizens like it very much during this period, and the entire LPL is also very united. Everyone is together and actively training and preparing for games. No one in the top eight wants to encounter anyone in a civil war.

This draw is already a very good draw. As for whether they can win, it all depends on the abilities of EDG and RNG.

[To be honest, I think RNG and LZ are about the same strength. Let’s give it a 50-50 split. But LZ is so strong, so RNG also has a chance to win. 】

[I think SSG is pretty strong, but I don’t know who is stronger between them and EDG now.]

Netizens are very worried about EDG.

After all, last year Samsung played EDG 2-2, and in the end EDG won 3-2 and entered the finals.

This year's Samsung is obviously better integrated, and their level is also higher.

Facing such a team, how can we win against them?
EDG's condition is obviously not as good as last year. If they meet Samsung again today, it's hard to say whether they will win or lose in the quarterfinals.

The ones with the most fans in LPL right now are EDG, Director, Puppy, Meiko, Holy Spear Brother, plus Gu Chen
It can be said that EDG fans account for more than 90% of the LPL community!
Netizens are also more worried about EDG's situation.

Even if the cat god returns, it's still difficult to fight against Samsung!
Because Samsung itself is so awesome!
Samsung’s operating style and overall strength are terrifying!
And after Samsung entered the quarterfinals, their strength will become stronger!
Miller said: "WE and FNC are very easy to win against each other. It's hard to say between RNG and LZ. It's hard to say who can win. I think LZ may be stronger. RNG still has a chance anyway. It just depends on the group of EDG and SSG. Samsung's performance in the second round of the group stage was too good, and they played completely according to RNG. This team's operation is so good, and their laning strength is also abnormal."

While having dinner with Miller, Wawa said: "It's not easy to fight. EDG is probably the hardest group to fight. I feel like Samsung's style completely overpowers EDG. Although EDG can also operate, they rely more on four packs." Second, the four-guarantee-one strategy is to force a breakthrough. Samsung is different. Samsung completely avoids fighting and will avoid fighting with you. No matter what tactics you use, they will just play operations and team battles."

"Furthermore, Samsung's mid laner is very strong. Brother Crown is much stronger than last year. It is quite difficult for the Cat God to directly defeat Brother Crown in the middle. In this version, it is still difficult to directly defeat the opponent in the middle." Wawa said.

You can't always expect that in a BO5 game, your own laner can break through the opponent in every game, right?
If this is the case, then there is no need to fight. The mid laner can single-kill the opponent every time, so isn't this team incredibly strong?

In fact, it is very difficult for the mid laner to break through because the line is too short and it is difficult to control the line.

And most of them choose some line-clearing mages in the middle, and there really isn't much they can do.

It is not that easy to suppress the opponent in the middle lane, which is different from the top laner.

If the strength gap between the two players in the top lane is very big, one side will be able to play while the other side will not be able to play in the lane, and the line of troops will be directly blown through.

Moreover, once the top laner develops, he can lead alone without any brains, and the opponent cannot control him.

But this version of the mid laner is difficult to solo.

The mid laner will most likely be killed by the top laner.

And
To put it bluntly, the most important version of this year’s World Championship is the bot lane version!
The incense burner monster in the bottom lane.
So the more important thing is the bottom lane!
Every team will focus on the bottom lane to ensure the performance of the ADC.

The mid laner plays more of a tool role. For example, Faker's Galio is more inclined to support and protect his teammates.

Miller, Wawa, Changmao, Guan Zeyuan and others were having dinner together, and everyone talked about this topic.

Guan Zeyuan said: "It's difficult."

Although Guan Zeyuan likes Samsung very much, he also hopes that Samsung can win.

But Samsung's opponent is EDG. At this time, he will still support EDG. Of course, what he wants to see more is a wonderful game.

Yu Shuang also said: "It is indeed difficult. Judging from EDG's on-the-spot performance and what they have prepared during this period, I believe they can do it."

Everyone hopes that RNG, EDG and WE can win.

As long as we can win and enter the semi-finals together, how great would it be?

Everything depends on the game in a week!
The schedule is also out!

The first day's game is SKT VS MSF!

The game on the second day is RNG VS LZ!

The game on the third day is WE VS FNC!

The last day's game is EDG VS SSG!

It is no exaggeration to say that the game that attracted the most attention was placed on the last game! !
EDG and Samsung! !

It’s because this team has more fans and it’s even more exciting! !
Netizens are cheering for the teams they support online.

The quarter-finals match is not in Wuhan, the venue of the quarter-final match is at the Guangzhou Stadium!

All teams have arrived in Guangzhou and are preparing for the quarterfinals!
Of course, the eliminated teams all go home.

In the training base.

EDG is practicing with RNG.

This powerful operating style makes RNG a little suffocated.

But RNG also played very well.

EDG and RNG are basically on opposite sides.

Gu Chen often goes to RNG, not for any reason, just to have a better relationship with Xiao Ming.

RNG's strength has also improved very quickly.

After EDG played a training match with RNG, they went to play a training match with IG.

This is IG at its peak. In this version of the top laner, where most of the top laners are aggressive, EDG and IG can still compete!
Even so, when theshy selected the warrior top laner, Holy Spear Brother was still a little uncomfortable.

This theshy is so awesome
And IG’s bottom lane is also very powerful.

During the training match, Ah Shui used Draven to knock down EDG's bottom lane many times.

When Gu Chen saw this situation, he was also shocked.

That's UZI. The puppy's laning strength is really strong, but it's still hard to beat Asui's Draven.

No matter how the training matches between the two teams are played, it's still a 50-50 split.

Gu Chen said: "IG is really strong. Fortunately, IG didn't enter the quarterfinals this year, otherwise we wouldn't be that easy to play."

UZI said: "Well, that's it."

Gu Chen said: "There is no need for everyone to be like this. It is not shameful to lose to IG. I heard that RNG and WE were beaten so badly by IG that no one wants to play training games with IG. They are all beaten to the point of numbness. Hahaha."

Gu Chen was still enlivening the atmosphere.

He knows that the current training match between EDG and IG is 50-50, which is already very good.

Of course, during the training matches, EDG was more practicing operations and lineup, and did not talk about using its full strength to deal with it.

It’s normal to lose during practice.

But now EDG's operational strength is completely different!

Soon, EDG and IG started playing training matches again! ! There is no way, the only training matches that EDG can get an appointment with are IG and RNG.

The other team EDG cannot make appointments for training matches. There is no way, the only sparring team is IG.

SKT did not play training games with EDG. They seemed to have invited other teams to play training games.
In this situation, EDG had no choice, otherwise Gu Chen would still want to have a try with SKT.

I have been playing training matches with IG repeatedly in the past few days.

Not only has IG become stronger, EDG has also become stronger.

As they played more and more training matches, EDG discovered that their winning rate against IG in training matches was not as high as it was a few days ago.

Is IG so fierce?
Especially TheShy on the top lane, his performance is getting more and more exaggerated.

Moreover, the laning of Rookie in the middle has also become more fierce.

Because Gu Chen and Rookie have played against each other so many times, the mid laners of both sides know each other too well, making it difficult to break through at a single point.

Rookie is not the bad mid laner in Group B.

When Rookie was in S5, he was able to put a lot of pressure on Wei Shen in both lanes.

The only person Rookie couldn't defeat at that time was Fat General.

But this year's rookie has become more abnormal in the lane. He has not yet reached his peak.

However, this kind of high-intensity training match with IG has made EDG much stronger.

After dinner.

Gu Chen stood on the balcony of the hotel, looking at the moonlight outside.

“It’s really difficult to compete in this year’s World Championship.”

"I feel that Samsung is stronger than SKT. I even feel that Samsung is a little stronger."

"That year, I remember it was Samsung 3-0 SKT, which directly crushed SKT. Even if SKT is strengthened this year, I feel that it is not Samsung's opponent. Bang can't beat the ruler, and there is only one person who can beat the ruler. "Gu Chen sighed.

Even if Ah Shui beat UZI a few times, Gu Chen would not think that Ah Shui is better than UZI.

Competitions and scrims are different.

UZI's handling of team battles, positioning, reaction, instant judgment, and the extension of the ADC's attack distance are all very strong.

To say that the only one who can suppress the ruler is UZI!

There is no one else but UZI. .

S7's bang can't do it!
If you want to win against Samsung, you must break through your opponent in the bottom lane!
Whether they can win or not depends entirely on how EDG will play at that time!
And the Samsung team is particularly good at operations.

How will we fight then?

While Gu Chen was thinking, he was really under a lot of pressure.

Others don't know how powerful Samsung is, but Gu Chen knows it.

Samsung is equivalent to the strength of a world champion!
Today's Samsung is the same as the world champion S7 back then!

EDG is challenging for the world championship! !
Although EDG also won the world championship last year, Gu Chen knew very well how the world championship came to be.

That's because Gu Chen prepared two big moves, which SKT couldn't parry.

It can be said that all the big moves prepared last year were given to SKT, and they finally won the world championship. If they really tried their best, EDG would definitely not be able to beat SKT last year.

Gu Chen took out a cigarette and started smoking.

In fact, he doesn't like smoking, but he always wants to get something when he is thinking.

Can EDG win the championship this year?
Gu Chen was still confident.

After smoking a cigarette, Gu Chen turned around and saw UZI still training.

Meiko on the side is playing duo with UZI. The two of them are playing passionately in the bottom lane, and the one playing in the bottom lane is Xia Luo!
When I turned around again, I saw the factory director.

The factory director came over, looked at Gu Chen, and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, are you worried?"

Gu Chen sighed, "Actually, it's not bad."

The factory director said: "Is there a lot of pressure? In the face of Samsung, Samsung is much stronger than we imagined. You know Samsung so well, so you must be putting too much pressure on you."

Gu Chen said: "Samsung is very strong. There is no other way. If we want to win the championship, every team must fight."

The factory director smiled and said: "Sometimes you can also trust your teammates and trust us. Don't always put your hopes of carrying on yourself. It will put a lot of pressure on yourself. Trust your teammates and the entire team, and we will win. Don’t have so much pressure, don’t worry about whether we win the championship or not, as long as we can win the game, I actually enjoy playing games sometimes.”

Gu Chen looked at the factory director and asked a question, "Brother, I plan to play in EDG for many years. Will you accompany me to continue playing? In fact, sometimes I have thought that in a few years, the people around me will Will all my teammates leave? You will leave, and so will the puppy. In fact, when I came to EDG to play professionally, you were the one who brought me in."

The midfielder coordination between Gu Chen and the factory director has been very good.

The factory director laughed and said: "Haha, what are you thinking? If you want to fight, I will keep fighting with you until I can't fight anymore. I will retire at that time. But even if I retire, I will still be in EDG and I will still know how to fight." As a coach, I will still be by your side. You are still young. I am already old and I cannot continue to play with you. There will be others. I think Jiejie has a promising future."

Gu Chen hummed.

He also enjoys playing games with his teammates.

Holy gun brother, factory director, uzi, meiko
This feeling is really good.

Gu Chen put out his cigarette butt and prepared to start training again!
In the last few days of training, EDG and IG were once again tied at a 50-50 draw.

Moreover, EDG also practiced various tactics.
Especially for Enchantress and Rock Bird, EDG has practiced these two ultimate moves a lot of times.

Gu Chen has been preparing these two big moves!
Using these two ultimate moves as trump cards, he can try to see if he can beat Samsung and SKT in the end!

There are no fancy tactics or lineups this year.
The incense burner version is most focused on the bottom lane.

So any tactics are just fancy and meaningless.

No matter what style of play, it all depends on the game against Samsung!
The two heroes and these two ultimate moves prepared by Gu Chen are enough.

As for the other heroes, Gu Chen played equally well.

Gu Chen was confident in his vampires and various mages.

Everything is ready, everything is ready! !
There is still one day left before the quarterfinals begin!

Before the quarterfinals started, EDG suddenly received an invitation.

In the training room, Abramovich brought news.

Abramovich said: "SKT wants to invite us to play a training match today. Xiaochen, do you think we would like to play?"

SKT has never invited LPL teams to play training matches before.

As a result, on the last day, SKT came to EDG to schedule a training match.

SKT is recognized by everyone as the strongest team!
After replacing their top jungler, they became frighteningly strong.

If SKT and EDG play a training match with them like this, can they win?
Gu Chen immediately said: "Fight! It's just time to see how strong our two teams are. Didn't we learn IG's fighting tactics? Let's have a try with SKT!"
