Chapter 202 What is a death group? It is popular all over the Internet!
At this moment, countless people are staring at the screen.
The camera zoomed in, and what was playing on the screen was Yates being interviewed.
Yu Shuang: "Congratulations to EDG for winning the game. Player Z also performed very well in the game.
Please tell me, why did you take out the hero Draven in the first game?"
Overseas viewers showed interest in their eyes.
Compared with LPL fans, their understanding of Yezi is limited to the media in their own division.
However, the information disseminated within the competition area is very limited, and it is more information that is biased towards its own players.
For example: LPL plays factory director, plays UZI, plays Ye Zi, LCK plays Faker, plays leader An, etc.
Therefore, this kind of interview at a world event undoubtedly gives overseas audiences the opportunity to get closer to Yates.
"Draven is a hero that I am better at." Yezi said: "When I saw the opponent selected the combination of Mouse and Wind Girl, I felt that Draven would be easier to fight..."
After a pause, Yezi sighed with emotion: "But I still didn't expect it to be so easy to fight. The opponent didn't seem to have any intention of restricting me. This is definitely their biggest mistake."
"Oh~"
Hearing Yezi's answer, the audience couldn't help but let out bursts of cheers.
It’s just LPL fans. They know that Yezi has this style. Sometimes teams in the league don’t give him face, let alone the teams in the LMS division.
But the overseas audience who heard Yezi's interview for the first time were immediately surprised.
Of course, some overseas viewers remember Yates from MSI:
"This Z... he must have provoked Faker when he was at MSI."
"What's outrageous is that he won in the end."
"This player is quite interesting. I hope he can do something different for the World Championships this year."
"SKT has dominated LOL for too long. It's time for a new generation."
In the overseas live broadcast room, most viewers did not resent Yezi's "craziness", but hoped that Yezi could muddy the water.
As spectators, they prefer to see a hundred flowers blooming and do not like a one-sided competition.
As for what Yates said...
As long as he can win the game, Yezi can say anything. On the contrary, if he loses the game, he even breathes wrongly.
Yu Shuang: "Everyone was generally optimistic about EDG before the game, and EDG lived up to expectations and won the first game.
So, may I ask, what was everyone’s mentality like before the game against AHQ?”
Yates: "It's just... normal. I have to be more serious than in the league. After all, in the World Championships, if you lose in the first game, it will be difficult to explain to everyone."
Saying that, Ye Zi couldn't help but laugh first.
In front of the screen, the LPL audience also smiled knowingly, and Yezi more or less expressed their thoughts.
If EDG really loses to AHQ today, the outside world will definitely drown everyone in EDG.
"God Z understands us."
"But one thing to say is that you really shouldn't lose to AHQ. You can accept losing to others, but you really can't accept losing to AHQ."
"It can be seen that EDG has changed a lot this year, and they did not overturn in the World Championship."
"The main reason is that I didn't encounter a wild card. If I encountered a wild card, it might trigger muscle memory."
In the live broadcast room, the barrage became lively, and everyone was joking along with it.
Yu Shuang continued to ask: "How does God Z feel? As a newcomer entering the World Championship for the first time, do you feel nervous or anything like that?"
"fine."
Yates said: "Actually, I was a little nervous before the World Championships, but when the game started, I felt fine. Once I got into the state, I forgot about the nervousness."
This is Yates' true feeling. He has a lot of thoughts before the game, and sometimes he is afraid of losing the game.
But when it comes to the competition, I don’t have time to think about so many things.
In Yates' opinion, his situation is normal.
However, upon hearing Yates's answer, many players expressed extreme envy.
Even players who have experienced several world championships would not dare to say that they are like Yates, who enter the state as soon as they say they are in the state.
In response to this, countless players lamented: "It seems that God Z was born for e-sports."
Yu Shuang: “Can you comment on your opponent?”
"Well……"
This question stumped Ye Zi.
As for AHQ's bottom lane, it basically didn't leave a particularly deep impression on him.
After thinking for a while, Yezi had no choice but to say: "Maybe the opponent is not in very good condition today."
"puff!"
“Classic in bad shape.”
"You said the same thing last time."
Not only the audience, but also Yu Shuang couldn't help but twitch his lips.
AHQ backstage lounge.
At this moment, everyone happened to be watching the interview.
Upon hearing this answer, An and Albis looked at each other with bitter lips.
Although Ye Zi said it very tactfully, the two of them were not fools, so how could they not understand the meaning.
Albis gritted his teeth and said: "This man is too crazy. If he is so sarcastic now, one day others will laugh back at him."
"Anyway, he is really strong."
Compared to assisting Albis, An is now much calmer.
At the beginning, he had the idea of competing with Ye Zi, so naturally he felt unwilling to do so.
But after playing the first game, after giving up the idea of comparing with Yates, I was able to evaluate Yates objectively.
They are both in the bottom lane. A simple review will tell you where the difference is.
It can be said that the two sides are not players of the same level.
In fact, he couldn't even see the shadow of Yezi.
Realizing this, An gave up his resentment towards Yezi and said: "I am somewhat looking forward to how far he can go."
Others in AHQ don’t know how they feel. They only know that they are destined to accompany him in this year’s World Championship.
…
Yu Shuang: "During the game, Lud Levin flashed over the tower to hit two. Why was this decision made at that time?"
"Flash over the tower?"
Yezi scratched his head and recalled the scene in the game...
Finally, Yezi said a little embarrassedly: "I kind of forgot."
Yu Shuang: "..."
"Hahaha!"
"Is it okay if I forgot?"
"God Z knows the effect of the program, after all he is a big anchor."
"I bet a pack of spicy strips that the big anchor is definitely faking it."
In the live broadcast room of the game, the audience began to send comments one after another. They all thought that Yezi was adjusting the work to improve the program effect.
However, Yates did forget.
He got too many kills in this game, and tower jumping was a common occurrence. In fifteen minutes, he even chased from the first tower to the opposite high ground to kill.
Under such circumstances, how could he remember every wave so carefully.
Of course, this is harmless.
After all, Yu Shuang is a professional host, so she changed the topic with just a few words.
“During the last push to the high ground, the junior Ryze drove into the spring, and player Z also got the first pentakill in the World Championship in the first game.
How did the team communicate at that time? How did you feel when you got the pentakill?"
"I'm happy. I got a lot of penta-kills, but the five-kills in the World Championship feel different. I will have capital when I go out to brag in the future."
Get five kills just to brag...
Yu Shuang was a little embarrassed. How can you let other professional players without pentakill live?
Moreover, bragging is all rolled up now?
Without any capital, I don’t even dare to brag loudly.
Yezi continued: "Actually, I didn't want to abuse Quan at that time. The main reason was that the younger brother kept saying that I saw that his car was driving, so I got on. I think this time it was his problem."
"God Z: I really didn't want to kill five."
"The younger brother takes the blame!"
"I was forced to kill five people."
"The atmosphere in the EDG team is too happy."
After listening to Yezi's answer, their first impression was that the atmosphere in the EDG team was really good.
Compared to other teams, EDG's game voices are sometimes more like brothers in LOL, which gives them a strong sense of intimacy.
This is also the reason why EDG fans can keep rising. Although EDG is not an all-Chinese team, Scout's performance is stable and he does not play like an actor like a certain tower.
Second, Scout is willing to learn Chinese and will take the initiative to communicate with his teammates.
Therefore, the audience recognizes Scout more and will subconsciously ignore his identity as a Korean aid.
It is worth mentioning that my junior high school student can now communicate in Chinese without any barriers, and he learned Chinese from Ye Zi. His Wuhan accent has changed a lot, and his Mandarin is relatively accurate.
In the joyful atmosphere, Yu Shuang asked the last question: "After today's successful debut, I believe the whole team breathed a sigh of relief, but the group EDG was divided into is called the death group. Do you have the confidence to break through the death group?
group?"
Ye Zi smiled slightly: "I think everyone has a misunderstanding about this."
"oh?"
Everyone looked at Ye Zi curiously, wondering what he meant.
Yates explained: "Group A is called the death group not because it is difficult to fight, but because we are in group A, so group A is the death group. The logical sequence must be clear."
Huo!
As soon as these words came out, the interview immediately reached its climax.
No one expected that Yates...or EDG would position themselves so highly.
"mad!"
"Indeed, the place with EDG is the death team, other teams are nothing."
"I laughed. This B can really pretend. As long as there is a champion, I will admit what he said."
"cnm Han Za, do you like to lick your Bangzi daddy so much? Msi didn't beat up your Bangzi daddy? You are so filial, why don't you show your filial piety to your Bangzi daddy?"
"Classic MSI does not count as the World Championship, and the MSI champion does not count as the championship."
"Some people just can't stand up after kneeling for a long time."
Yezi's words were supported by the vast majority of LPL fans. Occasionally, a few naysayers were flooded with comments that even their own mothers didn't recognize.
"Thanks for the interview."
On the stage, as the last question was asked, this interview came to an end.
…
The next day, the information about EDG went through a series of fermentations and instantly became popular on the entire Internet.
Countless self-media outlets have posted articles, celebrating EDG’s victory while also elaborating analyzes from multiple angles.
Some self-media even boasted that it took Yezi a long time to replenish a minion, saying that this showed Yezi's solid last-minute skills.
In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets.
This is also the case in the eyes of the self-media. When the general direction remains unchanged, whoever blows it from a newer and more bizarre angle will be more able to attract the audience's attention.
[Man-machine game in the professional field]
[Z God Draven kills everyone, classic review]
[EDG easily defeated AHQ, the undisputed number one AD in the world]
…
There are countless self-media articles with titles like this.
Under this circumstance, Weibo, which had not gained much followers for a long time, suddenly began to see a significant increase in followers.
About this, Abu suddenly became happy.
Now Yezi is EDG's signature. The more fans Yezi attracts, the more EDG will benefit.
After the heat subsided, Abu decisively released [Hero Mike Crazy].
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to the hero Mike Crazy.
In just a few minutes, the number of views has reached hundreds of thousands.
"Press, press forward."
"Don't let the opponent gain experience."
"How dare you choose this path?"
"Hey, can't we kill slower on the lower road?"
"It's so miserable on the other side, why don't you give them two?"
"Trash the spring, don't tear it down, just torture the spring. I'm driving. Get in the car with me."
"Five kills! Five kills! Five kills!"
"Give me five kills!"
"Nice!"
"Hey, little brother, what did you do with your Q just now?"
"I didn't want to steal your pentakill..."
"I@%#"
Listening to the final silence, the audience in front of the screen burst into laughter. The entire game audio gave them a feeling of joy and joy, with no pressure at all from beginning to end.
As the playback volume increases, keywords such as EDG's five-kill attack and the elementary school boy's attempted five-kill attack have become hot searches.
On Weibo's entire hot search rankings, there are many hot searches about EDG, and three of them are in the top ten.
This shows how terrifying the popularity of this World Championship is.
Of course, this is understandable.
On the first day of the group stage, both LPL teams won at the same time and scored two points.
This momentum will naturally make LPL fans excited.
However, what is surprising is that the popularity of RNG in the all-China class is much lower than that of EDG.
Even in the comments on external websites, there are many viewers discussing EDG.
Wanwan certain underworld forum:
"AHQ is such a hot chick, it was hung up and hammered by others."
"EDG is too locomotive, choose Draven and Thresh to build the bottom lane."
"Let AHQ take Draven in the bottom lane, will he dare to take it?"
"In LPL, Z has surpassed Uzi."
"Uzi? I don't think he is very strong. The same goes for Z. The LPL just likes to do marketing."
"But it doesn't change the fact that AHQ's bottom lane was hoisted and hammered."
"It's really embarrassing to be tortured. I hope Flash Wolf meets EDG and beats EDG hard."
Not only Wanwan, but also other topics in the outer divisions are all centered around EDG.
In just one game, EDG has already shown its fangs in the World Championship.
Especially for Yates, this Draven directly helped him break out of the league and go global.
…
EDG temporary base.
At this moment, everyone is not training, but leisurely watching videos:
"Ye Zi, the external network has blown you to the sky."
Meikou watches it with gusto. Every time she comes across a video or article, she clicks on it to take a look.
"Normally, they have never seen a strong man, and now they suddenly see one as strong as me, why don't they have to brag about it?"
"Oh, Ye Zi, you are too narcissistic now."
"There is no way, mainly because of the strength here, it is impossible to keep a low profile."
…
"Then don't keep a low profile."
While chatting, Abramovich suddenly opened the door and walked in, "Today our opponent is SKT.
Ye Zi, don’t keep a low profile now, you can keep a low profile after you finish beating SKT.”
Ye Zi smiled coquettishly: "I was just joking."
SKT and AHQ are different. After all, so many championships were not won for free, so how can they win casually?
If the car overturned then, it would be a shame.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.
After the laughter, Abramovich said seriously: "Everyone knows the strength of SKT. Although we defeated SKT in the MSI, the LCK team has a very strong ability to adjust.
This game is definitely a tough battle, I hope everyone is mentally prepared."
With that said, Abramovich turned his eyes to Zoom and said solemnly: "In this game, I decided to send Zoom to the top lane position."
"ah?!"
In the corner, Zoom raised his head in confusion, surprised and happy.
