Yezi's words also reached the ears of countless viewers.
For a time, although the outside world did not cause a big uproar, it also aroused heated discussions among everyone.
After all, Faker is still the undefeated devil in everyone's eyes, holding three crowns and gaining glory.
And what about Yates? He’s just a newcomer with some ability.
However, the audience naturally likes to see the drama of newcomers challenging veteran strong players.
A game without gimmicks is always a bit boring, isn't it?
This was somewhat beyond Yezi's expectations.
I originally thought I would be blasted for saying this, but on the contrary, except for some more radical fans, most of the audience were just enjoying the show.
At the same time, the "grievances" between Yezi and Faker were also exposed by netizens.
Keywords: ranking, script, Faker...
"I see…"
"Faker mocked Z at that time. It was a script. No wonder Z would say that in an interview."
"This is still an inspirational story. In order to prove himself, Z entered the professional arena and personally defeated Faker..."
"Tsk tsk tsk...this game is getting more and more interesting."
In the live broadcast room, the barrage speed was much faster than usual, and everyone was looking forward to the showdown between EDG and SKT.
Return to the lounge.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Ye Zi.
"Yi Zi, if you say that, something big will happen."
"SKT, we may not be able to beat them."
"What if we lose..."
Teammates are a little worried about Yates. Now that he is letting out his words in public, if he is defeated by SKT...
They couldn't imagine how the outside world would ridicule them.
"Uh...you guys think too much." Yezi returned to his seat and said with a smile: "Anyway, as long as you lose the game, you will always be ridiculed. Now I will just show off my awesomeness. I will win and make money if I lose."
Not a loss."
After a pause, Yezi continued: "Besides, we may not lose. Didn't we beat them back then?"
"That's right."
The factory director and Meikou looked at each other and felt that they were acting a little cowardly.
As a veteran of the team, you should stand in front of the newcomers.
"Ye Zi, go ahead and do it!" the factory director said boldly, "I have to prove myself this time."
Meikou teased: "Mingkai, if you talk so much, you won't be beaten to death by Little Peanut again."
"Hahaha."
Everyone present couldn't help laughing, even a smile appeared on the corner of Abu's mouth.
Last year at the World Championships, the factory manager gave Little Peanut a hard beating.
The 4396 meme also appeared at that time.
Moreover, the factory director was taught both forehand and backhand by Little Peanut. The blind monk could not beat Olaf, and Olaf could not beat the blind monk.
Coincidentally, Peanut joined SKT and had to face off against the factory director...
Therefore, seeing how confident the factory director is, everyone can't help but think of the scene where the factory director was beaten unconscious last year.
The director's face darkened: "Fuck! I'm making a fake piglet!"
Everyone laughed again.
While laughing, the game continues.
EDG did not leave because each team will play two games a day in the group stage.
EDG's opponents today are Flash Wolves and TSM.
Now they have defeated Flash Wolves, but they still have TSM to play.
However, no one in EDG is very worried.
At present, the teams in the European and American divisions have always been called European and American competition, and the performance of TSM and G2 is indeed not as good as EDG.
Is the European and American division really weak? Actually not.
Yezi knows that although the LPL has always called the teams in the European and American divisions the European and American teams, in fact their results are really not bad.
In terms of overall strength, it is even a little stronger than the LPL team.
However, this is compared with the previous EDG. The current EDG is not only completely reborn, but also completely new. It is by no means comparable to the European and American teams.
Sure enough, in the match against TSM, EDG easily won the game.
This battle also caused a lot of discussion in the circle.
At first, they just smiled at EDG's threat to fight SKT, and in their hearts they preferred SKT to win.
But after these two games, EDG's performance was a bit beyond their expectations.
Crisp and neat, the rhythm is full!
If you don't look at EDG's past record, EDG's performance is that of a top team.
Of course, one or two BO1 games cannot change their evaluation.
They are still more optimistic about SKT, but the balance in their minds is not so one-sided and has quietly tilted a little towards EDG.
Winning the game, EDG calls it a day.
What makes Yates regretful is that neither the game against Flash Wolves nor TSM triggered system tasks.
This means that, compared with the fixed "payroll" model of reputation rewards, obtaining the number of draws from tasks is quite unstable.
"We still have to continue to increase our reputation."
In the midst of sighing, everyone in EDG has returned to the temporary base.
After casually playing a few games to maintain their ranking, the players fell asleep early.
During this period, the country had already exploded.
Two consecutive wins at the beginning, this record is not bad.
The domestic media is like a shark that smells blood and smells bad money.
[EDG won two games in a row, showing off the power of a strong team]
[The bottom lane showed great bravery, God Z publicly called out Faker]
[SKT stayed up all night, studying how to target EDG]
…
Of course, while everyone is sparing no effort to praise it, Tieba Toilet’s comments are filled with worries.
"I have to play SKT tomorrow, but I feel uncomfortable."
"It's hard to say the bottom lane. Judging from Scout's current condition, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but..."
"Let me tell you, it's okay for Little Peanut to be Mingkai's biological father."
"Huni, why don't you hang the mouse up and beat him?"
"Poor God Z, I really can't lead these two fools in Ueno who only know how to hold each other's legs."
…
A night of silence.
The next day, when the sun rose, Abramovich took several EDG players to the competition venue.
In the car, Abramovich was also seizing the time to analyze today's game: "Today we played G2 and SKT. I watched the G2 game. The strength is almost the same as TSM, but SKT..."
Everyone was silent.
There are only a few teams that have the strength of MSI, and SKT is naturally the one to focus on.
After I went back to watch the replay yesterday, I found that SKT also defeated their opponent effortlessly, which made their joy of winning two consecutive games fade a lot.
Abramovich continued: "SKT's style of play is generally more operational, and there are basically no shortcomings. This is nothing. As long as it is delayed until the later stages, I believe the Leafs and Scout can take over the game, but..."
Having said this, Abu paused and then said: "I'm afraid that we will be caught in the line."
Now, everyone understood what Abu meant.
Mouse has always been regarded as EDG's weak link, and the factory director also had a poor record against Peanut.
Therefore, it is not unexpected for Abu to say this.
Of course, Abramovich didn't say anything in detail. He just wanted to remind the players to be careful and didn't want them to lose confidence.
On the way, the atmosphere in the car was inexplicably heavy.
This is the dominance of SKT. Facing SKT, no team can remain calm, and EDG is no exception.
However, Yates is an exception. He even discusses the live broadcast time with fans in the fan group.
Abu accidentally discovered this scene, and the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.
Damn it! We are worried here, and your live broadcast time has been set.
"Yi Zi... let's be more serious."
"Uh..." Yezi scratched his head: "As for that, SKT is not a strong team."
SKT is not a strong team...can you tell that?
At this time, everyone present was not calm.
You know, SKT is now a big mountain standing in front of all teams.
Three S crowns have allowed SKT to firmly occupy the top spot in the LOL circle.
There was even a time when the goal of all players was to kill Faker alone.
As you can imagine, what kind of dominance that is, and yet Yeez said that SKT is not a strong team?
Everyone in EDG had questions on their faces.
Yates also didn't explain whether SKT is a strong team or not. Only time will prove it.
After all, there is only one time assassin like him.
In fact, SKT is indeed dominant now, but Yezi knows that SKT's dominance is declining rapidly.
Whether it's Faker, whose skills are no longer what they used to be, or Bang and Wolf, who are uninterested in the game, it is impossible for SKT to regain the glory of the past.
Soon, everyone arrived at the competition venue.
The first game is EDG vs. SKT.
Therefore, the scene was extremely lively, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was packed with people and all seats were packed.
"Who do you think can win the match between the two teams?"
"SKT, of course, EDG's AD is too young. He doesn't know how high the mountain is or how long the road is, but his courage is commendable."
"+1, although EDG is not weak, there is still a gap compared to SKT."
"I think the EDG players are in good shape. If they get upset...well~ I'll beat EDG by a hundred, and I'll curse them to death if I lose."
"..."
The game hasn't even started yet, but the audience has already started talking.
The focus is undoubtedly the winning/losing relationship between EDG and SKT and Yeez’s post-match interview with Faker...
This is a gimmick game, and the attention is even higher than usual.
"You don't think much of us?"
Along the way, mouse was quite disappointed.
It seems that even their fans are skeptical of them.
There is no way, SKT's reputation is so high that it is difficult for both the team and the fans to have too much confidence.
Feeling the impact on Mouse's heart, Yezi couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder: "Look, even if they don't believe in us, they are still cheering for us. We can't give up before the fight starts."
Hearing this, several EDG players looked shocked.
When I glanced around, I saw countless overseas fans holding EDG support signs.
What are these fans coming from thousands of miles away for?
At this moment, several EDG players looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
Whether it's for the team, themselves or the fans who support them, they have to do their best.
Abu glanced at Ye Zi in surprise...
Within a few words, the fighting spirit of the EDG players seemed to be ignited.
Moreover, Ye Zi looked so calm that he couldn't help but start to doubt.
Could it be that SKT is really as vulnerable as Yates said?
…
Both teams returned to the backstage lounge.
LPL commentary booth.
Today's game is quite crucial, so I sent out Dolly Miller.
At this time, the two people in suits and ties were standing on the commentary table, looking serious.
Baby: "Hello everyone, welcome to watch the match between EDG and SKT. I am the commentator of this game."
"I'm Miller."
Wawa: "Everyone must be looking forward to today's game. God Z has already announced before the game that Faker will be punished this time.
To be honest, I personally am looking forward to this scene."
Miller: "I think many people don't have much confidence in EDG, but the gap between the two teams is not as big as imagined.
In historical matchups, EDG also defeated SKT, and that time it was a bo5.
So, let’s cheer for EDG today and that’s it!”
The doll smiled and said: "Everyone raise your hands and lend your light to EDG, okay?"
Everyone laughed.
And Doll Miller is also a veteran, so he started vaccinating the audience in advance.
"There is not much difference in strength between the two teams. It is basically a 50-50 situation. Whichever team is in better condition will win."
"Sometimes there is a part of luck involved in winning or losing. It may happen that a player is not in good condition, but there is nothing we can do about it."
"It's just the group stage now. EDG won two games in a row yesterday. Even if they didn't get the point from SKT today, the impact won't be big..."
During the singing and harmony, the audience could not help but be guided by the explanation.
SKT backstage lounge.
As the match is about to start, several SKT players look relaxed, as if they are not under any pressure.
Kkoma couldn't help but frown when he saw this: "Be serious, if you lose this game, you know what the consequences will be."
Regarding Yezi calling out Faker, it’s not clear how it was spread in other regions, but it was widely spread in the LCK region.
In the eyes of LCK viewers, LCK is the overlord of the LOL world.
Nowadays, how can they tolerate someone directly challenging their status by naming them?
Therefore, the LCK audience is paying unprecedented attention to this game. If they really lose the game...
Thinking of this, Kkoma suddenly shuddered.
LCK fans are not easy to deal with. They mail dead rats, blades, wreaths... there's nothing they can't do.
Maybe the trolls in other regions are just trying to make fun of you, but the trolls in the LCK region are really trying to harass you.
"Don't worry." A wicked smile appeared on Xiao Peanut's handsome face: "clearlove player is also an old friend of mine. I am very happy to meet him again."
Everyone in SKT laughed.
When Xiao Peanut was still in the Huya team, he beat Clearlove with his own hands.
In the jungle position, they are still at ease.
Huni: "Don't worry about it when you hit the road."
SKT players expressed their opinions one after another and were full of confidence.
Seeing this, Kkoma also felt that his worries might be a bit unnecessary.
However, out of caution, he still reminded: "EDG, the new shooter, should not be underestimated. Most of the games EDG won were won by the bottom lane.
Don't let him grow, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."
Hearing kkoma mention Yezi, Bang and Wolf looked at each other with expressions of interest.
They have long been tired of beating the bot lane of the teams in the LCK. Except for the Rat King Ruler, who can fight them twice, the rest of the bot lane is simply vulnerable.
Since KKoma said so, they are going to give it a try.
Bang: "Looks like I need to be more serious."
Wolf: "Coach, you said last time that RNG was very strong in the bottom lane, but that's it. I hope you won't disappoint us this time."
Kkoma touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "RNG bottom lane... I also heard what the foreign media said. It seems that the foreign media news is still unreliable."
"Xianghe, why don't you speak?"
"By the way, the shooter on the other side declared war on you by name."
"Brother Li, don't you have anything to say?"
Everyone was a little surprised. From the beginning to now, Faker didn't say a word.
"What do you want to say?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Faker's eyes flickered and he said solemnly: "I hope that after today, Player Z will still be as confident as before."
After saying that, the staff came to remind the players to play.
At the same time, the players from both teams got up and rushed to the playing field.
The match between EDG and SKT is about to begin.
I originally finished writing a chapter, but I copied it wrong and directly overwritten the new chapter of the old book on top of the new chapter, so I had to rewrite it with tears in my eyes.
