"Congratulations to EDG for winning this game and making a successful debut in the first game."
"Congratulations EDG!"
In the commentary box, the moment the AHQ base exploded, Doll Miller was already shouting at the top of his lungs.
Under the stage, countless spectators simultaneously let out deafening cheers. This match could be described as devastating, without giving AHQ any chance to counterattack.
For LPL fans, this game is undoubtedly crucial.
After all, EDG has always had a tradition of pulling its weight in the World Championships, and everyone had been a little worried before the game, fearing that EDG would overturn in the first game.
But now after the fight, fans feel like a big stone has fallen to the ground.
Regardless of whether EDG can break the curse of the top eight this year, at least judging from the team's state, there is no problem.
Actually, did the audience really blame EDG for being in the top eight in the past two years? No.
The audience mainly hates that iron cannot become steel. They can accept EDG losing, but they cannot accept that EDG loses without dignity.
If EDG tries their best but still can't get results, then even if someone criticizes them, they won't criticize them so harshly.
"666!"
"Cool!"
"Z God Draven is stable when he takes it out."
"Five kills in the abuse spring, several members of AHQ are paralyzed."
"EDG seems to be a little different this year. It's not like in previous years where wild cards can lose."
"Qijiang is no longer timid. She has taken the initiative to join the group several times."
In the live broadcast room, the barrage became lively.
In addition to the stable performance of the bottom duo, what surprised them the most was the factory director.
The factory director has always been said to be a coward and dare not start a group, but this year the factory director seems to be a different person and dares to fight a lot.
This change immediately increased their confidence in EDG.
the other side.
"Nice!"
"Yi Zi, you are too cruel."
"Wait a minute and the AHQ members won't hit us."
"Hahaha, if I'm going to get beaten, I'll retreat first."
In the voice, several EDG players burst into laughter.
Winning the game makes every team member happy.
Ye Zi looked at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
AHQ is indeed not a strong team, but after all, it is EDG's debut in the World Championship, and its importance is self-evident.
If EDG really loses to AHQ in an upset, let alone the audience, Yates himself will not be able to accept it.
Fortunately, everything went well.
"Let's go and shake hands."
After the referee informed him that he could leave the field, the factory director took the lead and stood up and walked in the direction of several AHQ players.
Yezi followed behind, hiding his figure as much as possible.
There's nothing he can do, he's afraid.
In the competition, he was the most ruthless in killing. If a few members of AHQ couldn't think of it...
Although the possibility of this is very small, we must be on guard against it. There are not many mentally ill people in any place who smash the computer case during the game after announcing death.
Along with the cheers of the audience, several EDG players came to the AHQ competition position and shook hands one by one.
As soon as Yezi appeared, the eyes of several AHQ team members immediately focused on him.
Ye Zi felt uncomfortable for a while, and the other person's eyes seemed to be thorny.
Especially An, the shooter from AHQ, his eyes were a little red, and he didn't know whether he was crying after being beaten or suppressing his anger.
But no matter what, these people at AHQ are definitely on the verge of going berserk.
"Hehe, hehe."
Ye Zi laughed twice and shook hands with them one by one.
After the handshake was over, Yates left quickly, feeling relieved.
"Nah, it seems that working professionally is not safe and life-threatening."
Muttering secretly, Ye Zi followed the team back to the lounge.
Looking at Ye Zi's back, An was like a deflated rubber ball, sitting directly on the gaming chair during the competition, his eyes blank.
Players who can enter the World Championship are somewhat arrogant. Even if An knew before the game that he might not be Yezi's opponent, in his opinion, even if he couldn't beat him, there was no problem in withstanding the pressure. As a result, the opponent beat him like an adult.
It was like hitting a child, he didn't even have a chance to fight back.
"Why are you so strong?!"
At this moment, An was puzzled.
No one can give him the answer. This is like a state. People who have not reached the state cannot experience that feeling.
For example, when Yezi looks at players who are weaker than himself, he can still find the opponent's flaws no matter how cautious their position is, and the opponent himself doesn't even notice that there is something wrong with his position.
This is the difference in realm!
…
EDG backstage lounge.
As soon as the team members entered the door, Abu and others rushed to greet them.
"Nice fight!"
Abu patted Yezi hard on the shoulder, his smile could no longer be concealed.
Man-machine, torture spring, five kills!
This game directly brought out EDG's momentum.
Nofe: "As predicted before the game, as long as AHQ performs normally, it is impossible for AHQ to beat us."
"Yes." Abu said emotionally: "Now we have scored one point. Although it is the best point to score, it is a good start."
At this point, Abramovich changed the topic: "But everyone should not take it lightly. SKT aside, C9's strength this year is not a vegetarian."
Everyone nodded.
Although everyone always makes fun of "Europe and the United States are competing against each other," they know better than anyone else that neither NA nor EU is weaker than the LPL.
Except for TSM, who has a senior brother who is committed to the LPL, other teams are not so easy to deal with.
In the lounge, everyone was busy for a while, and the excitement passed.
If it weren't for their debut, defeating an AHQ team would be nothing to them.
Ahead, having finished his compliments, Abu turned his eyes to Nofe.
The corner of Nofe's mouth twitched, knowing that he, the scapegoat, would not be able to escape.
The good guy Abu will do it, and the bad guy will do it.
Thinking of this, Nofe can only sigh that life is not easy.
"Ahem." Nofe took over Abramovich's position and said in a deep voice: "In the game just now, everyone's overall performance was fine, but there were still flaws in the handling of some details."
As he said that, Nofe's eyes fell on Mouse: "Shen was pressed against the big bug, and his E skill was interrupted by the big bug... It shouldn't have happened.
Moreover, don’t always hang in the defense tower. Occasionally, you can go to the river to get a better view.”
"yes."
Mouse lowered his head, knowing that he did make a lot of mistakes in the first game.
Immediately afterwards, Nofe talked about some minor mistakes made by other team members.
There are some details that you can't feel at all during the game, but you can see them clearly from a God's perspective.
However, except for Mouse, the other players' mistakes were not serious.
During the review, the MVP of this game appeared - Delevingne, 21/1/3.
Even without looking at other data, the battle loss ratio alone is worth this MVP.
What is the concept of more than twenty kills?
In professional games, especially in this version, the total number of kills on both sides may not reach twenty. As a result, Yezi's Draven himself killed more than twenty in this game.
When the outside world saw Delevingne's terrifying data, everyone also took a breath of cold air.
Needless to say, the popularity of the World Finals, the ID of Z, began to spread around the world for the first time.
Although Yates had a good reputation in the past, only LPL fans were familiar with him. Audiences from other regions may have seen the highlights and heard of his ID, but their impression of him was not particularly intuitive.
Now, after watching this game, the spectators in the outer division have a deeper impression of Yates's strength.
On the other side, AHQ backstage lounge.
On the screen, there was still a scene of Delevingne getting the MVP.
Looking at the screen, everyone present was silent.
At this moment, the AHQ coach felt a little complicated.
What a miserable loss!
The opponent has Draven in his hand, cutting directly from his own spring water to theirs.
In the last wave, Ryze drove five people into the spring and killed them wildly.
For any team, this situation is a shame among shames.
"Why did the bottom lane collapse so badly?"
The AHQ coach looked at the duo on the lower lane, and the others also looked away.
If you find someone to take the blame in this round, the big blame in the bottom lane will never escape.
Feeling the strange looks coming from around them, the two people in the lower lane of AHQ were on the verge of crying.
An took a deep breath: "I tried my best. The opponent's offensive rhythm was too good. There was nothing I could do."
Albis echoed: "We didn't even dare to look at the lines."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect the pressure on the bottom lane to be so great.
Ximen shook his head secretly, not optimistic about his team's trip to the World Championship this year.
For a team that can be beaten so badly, it is unrealistic to achieve good results.
However, everyone at AHQ is also very clear about their positioning. If you are lucky, you will be in the top eight, and if you are unlucky, you will be in the top 16.
Going further is almost impossible.
From the current point of view, they will probably reach the top 16 this year.
After all, EDG, C9, SKT... none of these three teams is easy to mess with.
The AHQ coach didn’t say much, but just sighed: “Judging from the first day of competition, the teams in the LPL division have made great progress. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for the LCK to win the championship.”
Everyone at AHQ deeply agrees.
They have just experienced the strength of EDG. It is no exaggeration to say that even against SKT, they did not think they would lose so miserably.
"Another year of fighting between dragons and tigers."
…
The MVP session is over.
Next, the competition party invited Yates to be interviewed.
Yates is not surprised. EDG and the officials are now promoting him, and any opportunity to increase traffic will give him priority to consume resources.
This interview is obviously a good opportunity to increase exposure.
"Yi Zi, go quickly."
Abu motioned for Yezi to go for the interview, and Yezi walked out of the lounge and headed to the interview area.
On the way, the sound of the system task being completed appeared in Yezi's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission]
[It is detected that the host data exceeds the upper limit of the reward, and the reward will be distributed at the maximum value]
[System reward: Number of draws 100]
The mission prompts sounded one after another, and Yezi was suddenly surprised when he saw that the number of draws increased by one hundred.
Although he knew before the game that this task would be easier, getting a hundred draws so easily was a bit beyond his expectation.
‘Is it because of the World Championship?’
Ye Zi secretly guessed that this is the only reasonable explanation now.
After all, you can get so many rewards by playing AHQ, which is unimaginable in the league.
Looking at it this way, the higher the level of the event, the more resources he can obtain.
Thinking of this, Ye Zi's pain from spending three hundred draws suddenly eased a lot.
If you can get so many rewards in every game, you can make up for the losses in a few games.
What's more, after a game of battle, Yezi also realized the benefits of the skill of revealing weaknesses.
To put it simply, this skill is surprisingly useful when abusing vegetables.
Because the other party will almost always refresh the vulnerability, and there will be very few error messages.
As for fighting against strong bottom laners, the effect of this skill still needs to be tested.
While thinking about it, Yezi had already arrived at the interview area.
The host of the interview was still Yu Shuang. Seeing Yu Shuang, Ye Zi couldn't help but feel a little friendly.
Today, Yu Shuang dressed in a rather traditional style, with a tight-fitting cheongsam that outlined her curvy figure, and her exquisite curves made Ye Zi secretly say, "Kill the dog."
Looking down, the cheongsam has a slit at just the right position, revealing her crystal-clear and slender calves.
On her feet were crystal high-heeled sandals, and her toes were painted with brightly colored nail polish.
Seeing the nail polish, Ye Zi subconsciously looked at the middle finger of Yu Shuang's finger.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Shuang asked curiously.
Ye Zi said sincerely: "Auntie looks a lot more beautiful today."
"Auntie, you are a ghost!"
The relationship between the two is quite familiar now, and some small jokes are harmless.
"Congratulations on your outstanding performance in the first game."
After saying that, Yu Shuang said with some envy: "You are very popular on the Internet now, and everyone on the Internet is talking about you."
"Oh?" Ye Zi was a little surprised: "No, it's just a call to AHQ."
In his opinion, AHQ is just giving away food in the World Championship, and any team with some strength cannot lose to AHQ.
Yu Shuang smiled and did not explain.
Yates obviously overestimated EDG's status in the World Championship. In view of EDG's performance in the previous two years of World Championship, most viewers have a relatively low positioning of EDG.
In terms of status, EDG is probably better than AHQ and about the same as C9.
Therefore, why EDG defeated AHQ so easily, but it was because they used a violent hero like Draven that it caused such a huge response.
After all, after Draven got up, the visual effect was too shocking.
"So that means I'm already on fire now?"
Yu Shuang said: "You have been popular for a long time, but now you are even more popular."
While joking, the two came to the interview booth one after another.
"ZZZZZZ!"
As soon as Yezi appeared, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience, and countless spectators shook their cheer sticks.
Yezi glanced around and could see his ID written on countless support signs.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zi couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
Once upon a time, he was still a youngster who had just entered the professional arena, but in such a short period of time, he had already stood on the world stage.
I remember that when he was interviewed for the first time, his heart was pounding and he was extremely nervous.
Now, with more contact, people have become numb and have long lost that nervous emotion.
However, seeing so many fans supporting me in the audience, excitement is inevitable.
Ye Zi raised his hand to the audience, and another burst of screams could be heard.
On the side, Yu Shuang looked a little envious and jealous.
She has been a host for so long, and her fans are only a fraction of what Yezi has now.
This made her feel quite emotional. The old saying is true, it is true that people will die when compared with others, and goods will be thrown away when comparing goods.
After a long time, the cheers from the audience finally stopped.
Yu Shuang: "Hello everyone, I am the host Yu Shuang. Today we invite AD player Z from EDG. Let me say hello to everyone."
A typical interview starter.
After Yates introduced himself, the interview officially began.
