Chapter 238 [Decisive EDG! 】(1/2)
"Brother Chen, didn't you stay in bed until five in the morning? We are still thinking about who to wake you up." Xiaotian said in surprise.
"I finished my ranking at about five o'clock," Su Chen nodded, picked up the coffee shop next to him and took a sip, "After breakfast, it was about the same time, so I came directly here."
The young men in ym looked like they had seen a ghost.
"Okay, since Su Chen is here, let's get started." Meng Ma clapped his hands, called all the players over, and started playing the edg game video again.
During this week, the entire ym coaching staff, under the leadership of Meng Ma, edited a large number of videos of the entire spring game of edg.
We also analyzed the playing styles and habits of each of the current starting players.
Especially Huni and Peanut in the Ueno position.
In the past two days after arriving in Fog City, the ym team members basically watched it for more than four hours every day. Xiaotian said that he dreamed of Little Peanut last night.
On the screen, the pig-dog battle between edg and rng last week was playing.
This is the third game of the decisive game, in the team battle of Canyon Pioneer.
Huni's Qinggangying used a super long-range e-dodge and e-ultimate move, and successfully drove Xiaohu's plane from the crowd, helping the team win this wave of team battles.
"Please pay attention to rng's position in this wave of team battles," Meng Ma paused the video and clicked on a few positions on the screen. "In this wave of rng's c position, the positions of Xiaohu and able are somewhat out of touch with the team.
Yes, and edg’s Ueno is very good at seizing such opportunities.”
"The green steel shadow of this huni is a bit slippery. When I covered the ID, I thought it was Brother Chen playing with it." Although I have seen it a few times, no matter how harsh this wave of operations is, Xiaotian has to admit that huni is indeed very good.
"The mistake in rng's position was actually just for a moment, but huni seized the opportunity, and this operation was perfect." Su Chen nodded to express his approval.
Meng Ma nodded, and then played another video.
18 minutes and 14 seconds.
After edg pushed down rng's middle tower, he quickly advanced forward. Peanut's Blind Monk hit his eyes with a W and flashed two Tianyin Waves. He successfully kicked the able mouse back, allowing edg to directly win the battle.
A team battle broke out and the high ground in the middle was demolished.
"The blind man's kick..." Zuo Zuo exclaimed.
In the two videos, Meng Ma also focused on showing the operational abilities of EDG's top and jungle players.
"Among the three teams we have played in the playoffs, EDG may be the team with the strongest operational ability in the upper and jungle positions. They also rely heavily on the personal operational abilities of Huni and Xiaoxiang."
"Xiaotian, Su Chen, in this round of duel, you two are relatively important. As long as we can cut off edg's entry and jungle rhythm, we have the possibility of winning."
Hearing Meng Ma's words, Xiaotian nodded solemnly.
He also knew very well that Meng Ma was not actually worried about the matchup between Su Chen and Huni.
At present, Su Chen has played against all LPL top laners and has almost never been at a disadvantage. Even if he can't handle huni, the lane should be able to withstand his pressure.
And his duel with the world's top jungler like Peanut may be a real test of strength.
The video analysis meeting lasted until noon.
After lunch, Meng Ma asked Suchen to go back and catch up on his sleep.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, ym and rng made an appointment for a b05 training match.
The final result was that ym won three to one.
Although the score was also three to one, compared to edg's crushing victory, the gap between ym and ym was obviously obvious.
Meng Ma saw this, and although he was a little worried, he didn't show it.
…
night.
Su Chen is sitting in front of the computer, preparing to start the next round of ranking.
Outside the room, someone knocked on the door.
After opening the door, it was Meng Ma dressed in casual clothes.
"Go out for a late-night snack?" Meng Ma said with a smile.
Su Chen nodded and changed his clothes.
The two of them came to a barbecue stall outside the hotel, eating skewers while looking at the night view of the foggy city.
"The LPL finals will be played tomorrow, how do you feel?" Meng Ma asked.
"It's quite complicated," Su Chen smiled, "I used to feel that playing professionally was a goal of mine, but now that I've reached this point, winning or losing is not just about me."
Whether it was the expectations of the outside world, blessings from friends, or Xiaotian and the gang of teenagers following behind him, Su Chen was burdened with a lot without realizing it.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the team would reach where it is today," Meng Ma said with emotion. "Last year I was just an assistant coach of the second team of IG. If it weren't for you, I might be cutting videos and doing odd jobs all day long.
."
"No matter what the result is tomorrow, it is a miracle that ym can come here. It is you who created this miracle." Meng Ma raised his wine glass towards Su Chen, "This glass of wine was given to you by the prostitute teacher.
."
"I heard from Xiao Ma that the prostitute will have an operation tomorrow afternoon?" Su Chen asked after being silent for a moment.
When Meng Ma heard this, he almost choked and coughed several times.
"Who...ahem...told you?"
"Xiao Ma drank too much the day before yesterday and was tricked by me." Su Chen's face was calm.
"Okay," Meng Ma sighed, "Originally, the prostitute teacher didn't let me tell you."
Su Chen nodded.
According to Xiao Ma, PDD detected distributed tumors in the liver at the hospital. This operation requires the removal of a lot of liver tissue, and the risks of the operation are still very high.
The date of the surgery coincided with the LPL finals on the same day.
In order not to affect the team's emotions, pdd also blocked the news and only disclosed it to the team's management.
"These words are actually what Teacher Prostitute asked me to bring to you. No matter you win or lose, just have fun," Meng Ma looked at Su Chen, "No matter what the result is, I hope you won't be too harsh on yourself."
"Ym has made it this far. Whether you are a player or a boss, including me, I have to say thank you."
In fact, whether it is Meng Ma, PDD, or the manager Xiao Ma.
Everyone knows that the strength gap between edg and ym is really big, and being defeated is a normal thing.
Although the club has isolated the players from the public opinion environment, the outside world is generally not optimistic about this round of competition.
The pre-match odds offered by many bookmakers have reached record highs.
Su Chen drank all the beer in his glass and stood up from his seat.
"Tell the prostitute teacher that An An can undergo the operation with peace of mind. When he opens his eyes from the operating table tomorrow, I will bring the Silver Dragon Cup to him."
After saying that, Su Chen turned around, waved with his back to Meng Ma, and disappeared into the night.
…
May 6th.
Fog City, Rubik's Cube Sports Center.
The 2018 lpl spring finals is about to begin!
Since the morning, there have been many LPL-themed exhibitions outside the stadium. Cosplayers dressed as various LoL heroes walked through the square and took photos with tourists.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, one hour before the game, the venue opened and spectators poured in.
This year's finals venue is said to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, and the scale of offline viewing has also reached a new high in the history of the LPL.
Because last year's two LPL teams were both eliminated in the semi-finals of the S-League, a civil war in the Bird's Nest LCK emerged, which led to a certain degree of loss of LPL viewers.
Tan En
This year, LPL also put a lot of effort into promoting the event, trying to restore the confidence of the core audience.
Game anchors and media people in the circle, including players from some teams, all came to Fog City to take a trip and relax while watching the game.
The whole atmosphere is also very exciting.
In addition to the high domestic attention.
On the other side of the ocean, several other championship teams from the five major divisions are also paying attention to today's showdown.
The winner born today is not only the spring champion of the LPL, but also the team that will compete with them on the world stage of MSI.

And Big Brother, the captain of TSM in North America, started the live broadcast of ob this lpl spring finals showdown.
six o'clock.
The auditorium of the Rubik's Cube Sports Center was already full of people.
The players' support lights and the team flags of the ym and edg teams can be seen everywhere.

The whole venue suddenly became agitated, and the audience started counting down along with the numbers on the big screen.
