Mingrui, who was standing in the center of the stage, didn't wait too long. The representative director of the EDG team slowly walked over with a strange expression.
"Finally? What do you mean?"
While shaking hands with Mingrui politely, the factory director asked doubtfully.
And his question immediately made the slightest impression of the factory director in Mingrui's heart disappear without a trace.
Mingrui is not a person who repays kindness with revenge, but a person with a clear distinction between love and hatred. He knows that the grievances between himself and the LPL region and LPL teams should only stay at the team level and should not focus on the LPL players...
Of course, except for the five from the RNG team.
Especially when the factory director once tried to help him!
After all, Mingrui had just been expelled from the RNG team at that time, and after taking the first place in the national server with [RNG Junk Team], he was introduced to the factory director through Iboy, who was a substitute player at the time.
At that time, when the factory director invited Mingrui for a trial training, Mingrui was very happy. After all, if the trial training was successful, his current ID would no longer be G2.Dark, but EDG.Dark.
Unexpectedly, because of the rubbish management decisions of the EDG team, he directly lost the opportunity to stay in the LPL.
Until the handshake, Mingrui had a good impression of the factory director. After all, he had really tried to help him, but it was only because of the management that his help failed.
But now, when the factory director asked "what does finally mean", Mingrui immediately realized that he had completely forgotten about it!
Based on Mingrui's understanding of the factory director, he is not a forgetful person, but he completely forgot about this matter...
"It's okay. I just played seven consecutive games with Team WE in the World Championship. I'm really tired of it. Now that I can finally beat you EDG, I feel a little excited."
As a result, Mingrui's expression instantly became extremely cold, and his tone became extremely calm, with no hint of excitement at all.
Because now, he has regarded the factory director as a complete stranger, as an LPL player who must be eliminated by him in the quarterfinals with the EDG team!
"Excited? To be honest, I'm a little excited too."
"After all, the WE team cannot represent the true level of our LPL division. Only our EDG team, the champion of the LPL, is the strongest fighting force in the LPL!"
"When the time comes, you G2, just wait to be eliminated by our EDG 3-0!"
The factory director has indeed completely forgotten what happened half a year ago. Otherwise, how could he regard Mingrui as the enemy of the entire LPL division and the strong enemy of the EDG team now?
"3 to 0? Haha."
"Director, you don't really think that you guys, EDG, made it to the top eight with real materials, do you?"
"The four top 16 teams, if the weakest FB team were not assigned to your group A, then the current EDG would have been eliminated from the group stage just like the WE team!"
"If there is a parallel world, you in another parallel world would have been scolded by the entire LPL audience until you retired! You are still here complaining!"
Mingrui sneered, and the factory director also sneered.
"Dark, isn't what you said a bit funny? Parallel worlds can come out?"
"If there really was a parallel world, I'm afraid you would still be stuck in the contract with the RNG team and unable to play in the game!"
"Not to mention being the MSI champion and the top eight of the World Championship, you may have to live broadcast every day to repay the debt, but you may not be able to repay it!"
The director's trash-talking skills are much better than Uzi's. Not only does he not lose in terms of quantity, but he also doesn't lose in terms of momentum!
"Uzi, did you hear that? The factory director also admitted that your rubbish RNG team is stuck in the contract."
"So when you go back, remember to remind you and the rest of RNG to run away quickly, otherwise you won't be able to run away."
This time, Mingrui did not immediately reply to the factory director, but instead turned back to Uzi and suddenly sent such a "well-intentioned" reminder.
But just such a sentence immediately made Uzi and the factory director angry at the same time. After all, this move hurt both of them at the same time!
"Director, I'm serious, please retire and stop harming LPL."
"Think about it, is it true that since your EDG team dominated the LPL, the LPL has never performed well in the World Championship?"
"It's all because you, EDG, are too experienced at fighting against outsiders! Especially you, your research on LPL teams is so thorough that other teams can't beat you at all."
"Have you ever heard of the saying that when a whale falls, all things are born? As long as you retire, as long as your EDG is disbanded, other LPL teams may be able to taste the world runner-up in the future."
"If you continue to rely on your old skills to stay in the LPL arena, tsk tsk tsk, we may not even need G2 to take action, and your LPL team will be eliminated by other teams!"
Mingrui persuaded the factory director earnestly, hoping that he would seriously consider his suggestion.
But it was obvious that the factory director did not listen.
"Haha, am I causing harm to LPL? Are you kidding me internationally?"
"This year is the time for our EDG team to break through the top eight and win the world championship in one go!"
The factory director blew his beard and stared, saying very unconvinced.
"Director, it's useless to say more. Although your EDG team was lucky enough to advance to the group stage, you will still be eliminated by us in the next quarterfinals."
"How much did you just say? 3 to 0, right? OK, then 3 to 0."
"And for you, there doesn't seem to be much difference between retiring in the top 16 and retiring in the top eight. It only takes a week at most."
Mingrui turned around again, sneered at the factory director, and then slowly let go.
"Yes, you are right. It is indeed useless to say more."
"But I'll forget about it because we at EDG don't actually plan to study your G2. We're going to skip the quarterfinals and study our opponents in the semifinals!"
The factory director replied again without any hesitation, and then slowly returned to his position.
"..."
"It seems like the two old friends have a lot to say when they meet."
"However, the current communication time is still too short. In the quarter-finals, I believe everyone will get more time to communicate."
On the stage, Mingrui and the factory director actually exchanged words for a long time. Because the two hosts could not hear clearly what they were talking about, and the icons on the big screen were not displayed yet, they could only wait for a while.
, after seeing the two people "reluctantly" parting, he spoke again.
Little did they know that just the word "old friend" immediately caused the LPL audience at the scene to explode.
"Who the hell is an old friend of Duck? The factory director is not his old friend!"
"Is this a meeting of old friends? It's clearly an enemy who is extremely jealous when he meets. It would be nice not to punch him!"
"That's right. Although Emperor Kang is a bit stupid, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to help being stupid!"
The audience cursed and cursed, but it did not affect the proceedings on the stage.
"Okay, this is the situation for the quarter-finals of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship Finals."
"We believe that the next games will definitely be more exciting and exciting!"
"Hero, aspire to become a legend!"
“To all my audience friends, let’s see you in Guangzhou!”
At this point, with the official announcement of the quarter-finals, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals has also officially ended.
As the camera was returned to the commentary booth, the eight team representatives on the field did not stay on the stage anymore, but quickly returned to their respective lounges, which made Mingrui very regretful.
Originally, he wanted to pursue a "discussion" with Uzi and the factory director. After all, this was a rare opportunity to meet offline.
But who would have thought that as soon as the lottery ceremony ended, the two of them walked away quickly, arm in arm, without giving Mingrui a chance to speak again.
"How cowardly."
"You don't even dare to fight with me, and when you get to Summoner's Rift, you're even more afraid to confront me head-on!"
Mingrui smiled dismissively, and then returned to the G2 team's lounge. While sharing the "interesting things" on the stage with his teammates, he packed his things and prepared to return to the hotel.
And they have to pack more things this time. After all, tomorrow they need to go directly to Guangzhou to prepare and train for the quarterfinals, so tonight, they have to pack all their luggage.
…
Just as everyone in G2 was returning to the hotel, League of Legends officials finally released the official quarter-finals lineup and match time.
On Thursday, October 19th, the LZ team will face the SSG team.
On Friday, October 20th, the SKT team will face the MSF team.
On Saturday, October 21st, the RNG team will face the FNC team.
On Sunday, October 22nd, the G2 team faced the EDG team.
This schedule takes into account two aspects.
One is to take care of the rest time of LPL viewers, so the two games of RNG team and EDG team are all placed on the weekend.
One is to take care of the finishing time of the group stage for the top four teams. As the last G2 team to finish, it naturally needs to start the quarterfinals at the latest so that it can have more training time.
Therefore, after the majority of LPL viewers saw this schedule, they immediately began to cheer excitedly.
Because this top eight arrangement is their top pick for the LPL division!
Here’s why!
First, Leng Shao directly eliminated an LCK team in the quarterfinals of the World Championship by making a slight gesture and suppressing a smile.
And this is something that the entire LPL has barely accomplished in five years.
But now, Leng Shao just used the "drawing method" to eliminate one of the LZ team or the SSG team, helping the LPL to win the final championship and removing a huge obstacle!
Second, the RNG team’s opponent is the FNC team, the only real third seed in the top eight, so according to the strength on paper, the RNG team will definitely be able to crush the FNC team and successfully advance to the semi-finals!
Third, the EDG team’s opponent, the G2 team, is definitely the weakest among the four group leaders!
Although the G2 team has successfully proved their strength through their performance in the group stage, proving that they did not win the MSI championship simply by luck, but in the eyes of EDG fans, after meeting EDG in the quarterfinals,
They still cannot be the opponent of the EDG team.
After all, the EDG team's group stage ended on Friday, but the semifinals had to wait until next weekend, with eight full days of training and preparation in between.
On the other hand, the G2 team has only six days of training, which is two full days less. Therefore, in terms of tactical preparation, the G2 team can never be the opponent of the EDG team.
Fourth, the division of the upper and lower halves of the entire quarterfinals is really beneficial to the LPL!
Who would have thought that through Leng Shao's "drawing method", all three LCK teams would be directly assigned to the bottom half, plus an FNC team.
As for the top half, it is a strong and weak confrontation between the LPL division and the EU division... After all, in the eyes of LPL viewers, even if the European and American competition divisions have a G2 this year, they will definitely not be the opponents of the LPL division!
Therefore, according to the analysis of LPL viewers, as long as the RNG team crushes the FNC team and the EDG team takes revenge on the G2 team, then the two LPL teams can meet in the semi-finals and lock a seat in the Bird's Nest finals in advance!
Looking back at the LCK civil war in the second half, no matter who is left in the end, it is impossible to defeat their LPL team at the Bird's Nest Stadium, on the doorstep of the LPL.
Therefore, the champion of this S7 World Championship can only belong to the LPL team no matter what!
And when remarks like "LPL signing" began to spread wildly on the Internet, and when the "script" just released by G2.
My own "views" on the quarterfinals and subsequent schedule.
"@RNG E-Sports Club: Is there a script for the World Championship? Let's just say that someone blindly caught a dead mouse and predicted the draw result accurately, but the final outcome is absolutely impossible to proceed according to the script! This S7 world champion, our RNG team
It’s decided! This year’s S7, the incense burner version, is our RNG, and it is Uzi’s most promising year!”
“@EDG Esports Club: G2’s script? No, it’s our EDG script! In the quarter-finals, we avenged the WE team against the G2 team, the LPL autumn finals completed a double kill against the RNG team, and then the Bird’s Nest finals against the LCK team
The first BO5 victory, and finally won the S7 world championship!"
"@FNC E-Sports Club: Agreed, we can't follow the G2 team's script. After all, it will be us FNC who advance to the semi-finals! We beat EDG 4-0 the year before last, and this year we beat RNG 3-0. There should be no problem."
“@G2 Esports Club: I like how LPL deceives itself. Dark’s script was written before the World Championship qualifiers started. Now one-third of it has been completed, so the next two-thirds are also
It will definitely be completed smoothly! The only thing that may go wrong is that the FNC team may actually eliminate the RNG team!”
“@MSF Esports Club: Let’s see how I represent the EU region and beat the LCK region to the finals with one against three! @G2 Esports Club, why not turn China’s Bird’s Nest into a civil war in our EU region?”
In addition to these five teams, the three teams in the LCK division also participated in this melee. At the same time, they all said that the LCK's dominance of this game will never end in 2017 just because of the appearance of anyone!
As a result, all the audience friends around the world got excited, because in their opinion, the quarter-finals of this S7 World Championship must be the most exciting quarter-finals in history!
Especially the BO5 between the G2 team and the EDG team is definitely a pinnacle matchup where Mars hits the earth!
It's a pity that time is a bit difficult. After the group stage, they need to wait for a full week to see the final quarter-finals match next Sunday!
Fortunately, you only have to wait four more days to see the quarter-finals matches of the S7 World Championship. Although the other matches may not be particularly intense in intensity, they are still quarter-finals, so they are more or less okay.
To quench the audience's thirst, so that they won't be so bored while waiting for the weekend!
…
The next day, Monday, October 16, all members of G2 arrived in Guangzhou. After quickly checking in at the hotel, they quickly started preparations for the quarterfinals.
After all, there is actually not much time left for the G2 team to prepare for the competition. Throw away Monday and Sunday, and throw away a day of official video shooting, and the G2 team is actually only left with four days for real training and preparation.
Although in Mingrui's view, the EDG team is indeed not worthy of advancing to the quarterfinals with the level of the EDG team. Even in terms of overall strength, the EDG team may not be half as good as the WE team, so there is no need to take the EDG team too seriously.
But as the saying goes, you must despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Therefore, even if they face the EDG team, which is a foreign chicken, the G2 team still needs to use its sledgehammer directly!
Therefore, in addition to daily training, all members of G2 also followed the arrangements of the G2 coach and began to quickly review the EDG team's 7 games in the group stage, analyze their tactical routines and weaknesses, and formulate corresponding plans.
Tactical routines and training plans.
The purpose is to win this BO5 game with a score of 3-0 in the quarter-finals on Sunday, and then advance to the semi-finals!
As for recreational activities after training?
For Mingrui, it is natural to collect dark values!
After using the "skin game" trick last time and achieving quite good results, this time, Mingrui decided to be more direct and decided to directly point at the players of the EDG team and curse a few words to attract them.
The firepower of EDG fans.
Thus, a new scarf was born.
"@G2.Dark: After analyzing and studying the EDG team's games in the past two days, I discovered five crimes that caused the EDG team to almost be eliminated from the group stage. There was exactly one crime for each of the five players."
"The first is Mouse, the top laner. It can be said that he is the most rubbish top laner among all 24 teams in this World Championship, including the qualifying rounds. Except for Rambo who played the first game of the SKT team, he was not suppressed in the early stage. The other six
In each game, Mouse was beaten by more than 20 points in ten minutes per game. After a wave of team battles, guess what? This Mouse didn’t even get an assist!"
"The second is the mid laner Scout. Although he has a relatively deep hero pool and knows the three heroes of Holy Spear Ranger, Lucian and Obama, his performance is too eye-catching. If the FB team is not too weak, Scout may be the best player in this competition.
The most rubbish mid laner in the World Championship!"
"Then there's Meiko. I heard that after EDG was overturned by SKT with 10,000 gold, he kept blaming himself and said that he would win as long as he didn't get beaten? It's so funny. Is this a matter of only one? This is a matter of strength! How could he?
Not to mention that as long as the EDG team is not placed in a group with SKT in the group stage, it will not be overturned by 10,000 gold?"
"Then there's Iboy. To be honest, his reaction is really fast and he plays really well, but he just likes to highlight the mark, especially from high ground. But it's a pity that when we played G2, he not only didn't have the chance to stand on the high ground of our G2
If we mark on the ground, we have to watch our G2 mark on the high ground of their EDG."
"The last one is the factory director..."
"Haha, if EDG can only have one crime, it must be the factory director! No one else is qualified to plead guilty!"
