Chapter 1 [1] Three consecutive losses, a trainee who has been dormant for two and a half years at the Dog Head Bar

Jiangcheng Gymnasium.

The League of Legends 2017 Global Finals group stage is in full swing.

On the court, the five members of the EDG team looked serious.

Day 1, after 54 minutes of fierce battle, they lost to the AHQ team and got off to a bad start!

On Day 2, the advantages created in the early stage were overturned bit by bit under SKT's operation, and they lost again!

On Day 3, EDG is in a stalemate with C9!

But it seems something is not going well~

Abu's face looked gloomy.

C9's top, middle and jungle teamed up, and Scout's Lucian was held down in the middle to suffocate him.

EDG's idea of ​​establishing an advantage in the early stage was completely shattered.

On the other side, substitute Qi Zhou, who is also a member of the EDG team, was mindlessly tapping his cell phone.

Don't pay attention to the game at all!

Qi Zhou is browsing [Desert Death Bar].

Hot post: "Must-learn subjects for newcomers to Desert Death - Wen Experience"

The post I wrote randomly turned out to be a hot post!

Qi Zhou clicked on the red dot of 99+ on the small bell in the upper right corner.

All messages from new friends:

Ran Zhou: "Have you guys stopped overdoing it? You can tolerate this!"

4396: "This trash hero can't beat his brother (crocodile)..."

Hong Wen Lan Bo: "The bully maggot, the silver dog-headed girl, lost. He is a shame to your club, right?"

Short-legged Corgi: "New friends, Dog Head Bar is the internal name. Outside, you must call it [Desert Death Bar] or [Oasis Living Buddha Bar]!!!"

Jing Jing: "Just a passer-by, this is how to resist pressure, right? What kind of thing is this guy next door?"

One Q and one: "I had a Q at the beginning today and I feel like I am invincible~"

Jian Jian Bang: "What an optimistic kobold, I came here to learn from you!"

…

There were many messages, but Qi Zhou didn’t reply.

I just quietly liked the user [红伟蓝波].

The EDG team's style of play revolves around opening up the situation in the middle and lower lanes. The top lane usually chooses a tank-type hero, usually a big tree.

Therefore, there is a saying circulating in the circle that "EDG recruits top laners, as long as they know how to be a big tree."

As a substitute, Qi Zhou has naturally heard of this joke.

Therefore, since joining the EDG team, Qi Zhou has been lurking in the headquarters of the anti-pressure bar - the Desert Death Bar.

It’s been two and a half years now!

Learn and experience with an open mind, and be as powerful as the world!

For two and a half years, Qi Zhou spent most of his time silently beside the water dispenser.

Qi Zhou graduated from college at the age of 21. This year Qi Zhou is almost 24 years old.

The age of 24 is as far away from the age of 18 as it is from the age of 30. Without the bravery and fearlessness of the 18-year-old, it does not have the calm pessimism of the 30-year-old.

After losing the youthfulness of traveling to the end of the world with a sword, Qi Zhou became steady and mature.

For ordinary people, youth is the best age.

But for e-sports players, the age of 24 is the twilight of their career.

Hand speed and reflexes began to decline.

Everything became overwhelming.

When he first became a substitute, Qi Zhou occasionally got opportunities to play.

But after celebrating his 23rd birthday, Qi Zhou felt left out.

EDG coach Abramovich also has a shackle in his heart of being 18-23 years old.

Every time Qi Zhou looked at him, he could read this sentence: "You are a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship that can carry you in the new century."

But there’s no me in the funeral song either!

Qi Zhou comforted himself in his heart.

Glancing at the calm sunshine reflected on his cheeks when the screen was turned off, he looked at the big screen on the field.

For a period of time just now, Shen of the C9 team was single-handedly playing on the wing, and EDG's development space was completely restricted.

C9 expands its advantages from point to surface.

At this time, the EDG team wanted to recover from their disadvantage through team play.

"The economic gap is too big..."

Qi Zhou stared closely at Krel's Dancing Prince and Meiko's Luo, and said silently: "If you drive to Syndra or Xia, you can beat them!"

However, with the five members of C9 pinned down by the cramped second tower in the middle, the probability of this wish coming true is too low.

Sure enough, even if C9 forces the tower.

Krel's Dirty Dancing Prince and Meiko's Luo also have no way to open the double C of C9.

Finally, the second tower in the middle collapsed under Xia's gorgeous pink feathers.

"The team battle was a bit difficult...I pushed it! I was opened by the other side! I didn't do anything and was immediately killed. Prince Krel's Dirty Dance prince's head was also taken down by E Flash..."

Miller, who was commentating, was also caught off guard.

In the screen, Syndra's E skill pushes the [Dark Sphere] on the ground, stunning Mouse's Big Insect and Meiko's Rakan.

In an instant, tons of output from C9's side were poured on the two of them.

Big Chongzi and Luo were instantly killed!

The prince in Krel's Dirty Dancing was splashed by damage and reduced to residual health.

Finally, he was taken over by Syndra's flash E skill.

Even if Lucian and Verus on EDG's side are doing crazy output, they can't change the situation of defeat.

C9 broke through the high ground in the middle, with three junglers with residual health and almost full status. AD Xia went straight to the baron.

Standing in the background, Abu's stretched body went limp and he almost collapsed.

The tide is over.

C9 takes down the Baron and it is only a matter of time before EDG loses.

Continuing to stick to just putting ventilators on critically ill people can help them survive, but it cannot save the patient's life.

A comeback is not hopeless.

But the premise is that EDG can hold the high ground in the next wave of attacks after C9 returns to the city.

Is it possible to hold it?

Abramovich looked at Mouse beside him and asked himself. The most stable top laner in the team, his lips trembled slightly and his legs couldn't stop shaking.

The rest of the team's energy before the start of the game was replaced by depression.

EDG has lost two games in a row in the BO1 double round-robin format!

If they lose this round again, it means that EDG has lost the last bit of fault tolerance.

They must defeat SKT, C9, and AHQ in the second round to advance to the quarterfinals and get a glimpse of the championship.

As a recognized "Royal Three Family".

Although EDG is not the only hope for LPL to win the championship, it also shoulders the expectations of millions of players. Stopping in the top 16 is definitely not what they are happy to see, and it is not their bottom line.

Abu looked to the north. He longed to lead his team to compete in the Bird's Nest in a month.

"Let us congratulate C9. They made no mistakes from the beginning to the end...EDG has reached the point of no retreat..."

Miller's voice sounded, and the red square crystal exploded.

EDG lost the game.

Abu and the five team members walked over dejectedly. Qi Zhou stood up slowly and followed the team.

He put his long, wide and warm palm on Claire's left shoulder.

"If you cannot destroy, you cannot establish. A knight with faith...will be able to overcome all difficulties."
