Chapter two hundred and fifty eight interviews and back to back
Kassadin, who had a perfect record of 9-0-6 in America Summer, won the MVP of the second game, and then came the post-game interview.
Mika and Deft each won an MVP. Considering the popularity gap between the two players, the interview for the opening game of EDG was decided to be Mi Xia.
The female host for the interview was newcomer Mo Han. Unlike Yu Shuang Xiaoyu and other newcomers who had just graduated, she had already hosted sports programs on regular provincial TV stations before joining LPL, so she interviewed the new MSI champion EDG just after she entered the league.
Opportunities for players.
With 16 years of experience in e-sports, it is actually a bit condescending for Mo Han to come to work for LPL, and to be able to make this choice, he must have some love for the game League of Legends.
The words were spoken in a smooth voice, "First of all, congratulations to edg for getting off to a good start in the summer split with a score of 2-0! Today's opponent is the nb team that has completed the reorganization of the summer split. The mid laner is also the senior dade. How did you feel about the two games overall with mika?"
Knowing about nb's reorganization and dade's status in the circle, this female commentator has some knowledge of lpl.
Of course, Mika obediently praised her opponent, "Dade-senpai is indeed an experienced choice. Even if I get a huge advantage in the line, it will be difficult to kill him alone."
"As for the duel with nb, is nb a team after the reorganization of qg? Unfortunately, due to some off-field factors, the spring playoffs failed to finish the bo5. This time we will play against them again. Although uzi and doinb are not here, but
I still feel that they are a very powerful team! At the same time, I am also looking forward to playing against Uzi and doinb seniors one day!"
It was only seven days from the end of MSI to the opening of the summer split, but the audience still felt a long-lost sense of fun when they saw the familiar Mika-style interviews.
"It's hard to kill alone, isn't it? If Mika hadn't said this, I would have thought she was being weird."
"Indeed, because it was Mika-chan who said it, it is very true! She is both naive and arrogant in that she believes that opponents who cannot easily kill alone are very strong players!"
"I still want to fight doinb, he has decentralized lspl..."
"It seems that edg can only swoop into the secondary league to realize mika's dream of fighting doinb..."
"Hey, if Tang Xiaoyou sees Mika's interview today, it will be over."
…
The host asked for a simple post-game speech, and then came the specific topics in the game.
“In the first game, mika got Brand, the Vengeful Flame Soul, which was rarely used by other players. However, his performance in the game seemed not to be as good as Kassadin’s in the second game. I believe everyone wants to know, how did Mika compare to Vengeful Flame Soul?
What do you think of the hero Hun?"
You want me to say that hot men are not suitable for competition?
Admit that practicing fireman was a mistake?
nonexistent!
Mika answered seriously, "The hero Vengeful Flame Soul has a different positioning than Kassadin. She is a mage who deals area damage, so although my record in the first game was not very good, it was 38%.
The damage ratio is already very high.
So the coach and I still believe that the revised Brand Strength can be used in games! I will continue to do so!"
Mo Han was very surprised by the answer. Logically speaking, Mika didn't like playing mage heroes very much. If she could continue to say this after her performance was unfavorable, she could only believe in the coaching staff and believed that the hero the coaching staff asked her to practice was the right one.
choose.
Glancing at the word card in her hand, she continued, "Well, let's look forward to Mika's subsequent performance! Back to the interview, Mika had a wave in Kassadin in the second game, and was defeated by Reksai in the middle teleport.
Interrupt and then complete the counterattack, what do you think of the swift player's operation at that time?"
Mixia continued her precise answer, "He must have wanted too much to save his teammates who were jumped from the tower on the road! In desperation, he miscalculated the damage and did something like jumping over the tower and getting killed."
This time, even Swiff himself, who was about to walk out of the stadium, scratched his head - Do I really care about my teammates that much?
Then Mo Han asked two more simple questions, and Meixia answered them in turn. Finally, he bowed to the audience and left the venue.
…
Return to the base and rest for the night.
lpl considered that edg had just played msi and had insufficient training time, so they moved the edg team's opening game two days later to the 28th. Originally there was also an edg game on Sunday the 29th, and the tournament team did not want to move edg's game
Continuing to postpone it to Monday wasted the popularity of the focus game, so the date of the game was not changed thereafter.
The edg team only played two training games, and the next afternoon they took a bus under the scorching sun back to the Hongkou Performing Arts Center to participate in the competition.
On that day, edg faced off against the SS team, which has gained a lot of popularity due to the introduction of Vietnamese players in this summer split!
Prior to this, SS Summer Split had already won two games. However, the two opponents they won were weak, gt and lgd, which could not accurately reflect the strength of the SS team. Moreover, their Vietnamese player SOFM did not appear due to language barriers, and the lineup was dissatisfied.
Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult to judge what the overall strength of this team will be.
Before the game, the Internet was in full swing.
The audience was eager to see if the SOFM that the SS manager boasted about using Shuangfeiyan peripherals in Vietnam to fight against 100 pins in the Korean server was as powerful as the rumors.
At the same time, I also want to see the collision between talented Japanese aid and talented Vietnamese aid!
But when the game started, SS's Vietnamese jungler was still sitting firmly on the bench, with the young factory director fan zzr as the starter.
The three consecutive games of SS Summer Split, especially the behavior of SOFM who was still unwilling to start in the face of the strong enemy EDG, made the audience very angry.
"Could it be that SS just saw the popularity of foreign aid Mika and learned this skill of recruiting people from the wild card division to gain popularity?"
"Don't put Sofm and Mika together. Mika came to the EDG Spring Split and played in the first game! Where's Sofm? I'm afraid he's still learning Chinese Pinyin!"
"I guess SOFM won't be able to play. There aren't that many geniuses like Mika in the world."
"The ss manager is really good at bragging! This is the only 100pin Korean server?! I don't even dare to show up!"
"rnm, refund the money!"
…
Amid the barrage of doubts, the game finally started.
The starting jungler on ss is the young man zzr. He interacts with the factory director a lot outside the court and is considered one of the factory director's loyal fans.
It's just that this fan's strength is indeed not as good as Director's overseas fans, and even with his game level, he is not like Director's fans at all - other Director's fans are merciless in killing their idols, only zzr is...
The factory manager slapped him.
In the first game of the game, Mei Xia still chose Vengeance Flame Soul Brand. She suppressed the SS mid laner in the game, and invaded and set the pace with the factory director, establishing a 3,000 economic lead in the early stage.
But in the mid-to-late stage team battles, the short-legged Fireman, no matter how clever his positioning was, was still controlled by the opponent twice and almost died.
In the end, edg relied on deft's harvest to push the tower and cleanly ended the first bo3 game in 25 minutes.
