Chapter 220 EDG will never work overtime to become the sharpest sword
Arriving at the interview area, Yu Shuang had been waiting for the two of them for a long time. When she saw the two of them coming, a smile appeared on Yu Shuang's face and she exchanged a few words with them.
Seeing that the LPL situation is getting better and better, even the commentator feels proud.
"It's too powerful."
Hearing Yu Shuang's praise, Ye Zi and the factory director couldn't help but smile at each other, feeling that their efforts were not in vain.
"Then...start now?"
"Can."
After confirmation, the three people came to the center of the stage.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
The moment the three people appeared, the audience cheered.
The three people on the stage could even feel waves of sound coming towards their faces.
"hiss."
Yu Shuang took a breath quietly. After being the host for so many years, this year is definitely the most exciting year.
Most of the cheers revolved around Yates and the factory director. Several crisp matches brought countless fans to the two.
Especially for Yates, for a newcomer to achieve this level within one year, it is inevitable that he will attract attention.
After a long time, the cheers from the audience gradually cooled down.
At this time, Yu Shuang seized the opportunity and took the initiative to speak: "Hello everyone, I am the host Yu Shuang, and today we invite..."
A very conventional opening. After Yezi and the factory director introduced themselves, there was another burst of cheers from the audience.
The interview officially begins.
Yu Shuang: "Group A is called the group of death. In addition to SKT, C9 is also a very strong team.
Before playing against C9, did you prepare any special tactics for C9?"
The special tactic Yu Shuang mentioned was naturally the combination of Jhin + Zyra, but EDG did not design it in advance.
The factory director told the truth: "I studied C9 before the game, but I didn't prepare any special tactics. I just focused on playing in the bottom lane."
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
But after thinking about it, what the factory director said is indeed true. With EDG in the bottom lane, why should we prepare any special tactics? We can just hit the bottom lane and be done.
"I would like to call EDG's bottom lane the strongest bottom lane."
"C9 hurts my heart."
“C9 bottom lane: I don’t want to lose face?”
LPL fans are overjoyed, but some are happy and some are sad. C9 felt a bit uncomfortable when they heard EDG's interview.
If EDG was targeting them, they could accept losing. However, EDG didn't pay them that much attention and they still lost.
This way, there won't even be any excuses.
"Sigh." Coach C9 sighed, secretly thinking that EDG really didn't understand the ways of the world.
"Winning a game makes me brag about it. Anyway, no matter how much you brag about winning, people will believe it." The C9 players were filled with hatred, but they knew in their hearts that there was indeed a gap between the two teams.
Interview booth.
Yu Shuang continued to ask: "Why did you choose the combination of Jhin and Zyra during BP?"
"Coming!"
This issue is undoubtedly the one that everyone is paying attention to. For the audience, EDG came up with an unpopular combination to defeat C9, which made them feel so happy.
For the major clubs, the fact that Jhin and Zyra, a pair that obviously does not fit the meta, are able to get on the field and win the game has to make them start thinking about what the answer to this year's meta will be...
Before this game, all teams have reached a consensus on the version, that is, this year is the version of the Incense Burner, and in terms of hero selection, they are more inclined to heroes who can add the Incense Burner buff.
However, EDG's game somewhat broke their cognition, or it opened a new BP direction for them.
In fact, this is easy to understand. No team dares to say that its understanding of the version is the best and most correct.
The so-called version answer is that most teams have used it and found it effective, so it appears.
Take this year's incense burner for example. The team that uses the incense burner has a higher winning rate, so the incense burner is the answer to the version.
But if the incense burner is not developed this year, the answer to the version may become something else... maybe the jungle EZ, maybe Galio, but in short it is not the incense burner.
Simply put, the version is not unique, but may change at any time.
If any attentive audience watches previous World Championships, they will find that the lineups chosen at the beginning of the World Championship and the World Finals are often quite different.
In other words, during the World Championship schedule, some teams that are highly adaptable to the version will make adjustments according to different situations, and such teams can often go further.
At this moment, all the teams looked intently at Yezi on the stage, trying to get some useful information from him.
Finally, Ye Zi smiled slightly and replied: "Jhin and Zyra..."
Speaking of this, Yezi paused deliberately, which made all the teams feel angry.
"Hurry up and say it!"
…
Yezi continued: "I just want to have fun, there is no reason."
"I'm dizzy!"
This answer made everyone's lips twitch when they heard it, and all the major teams were in disbelief. They just felt that Yezi didn't want to expose his tactics.
"This guy is such a thief!"
"I didn't expect EDG to have such a skill. It seems like we need to be on guard against them."
"This year's EDG is a bit difficult to deal with."
While the teams were thinking about it, Yezi spoke again: "If there is a reason, it's not impossible. C9 has no recovery and no movement in the bottom lane. It is afraid of consumption and forced opening, so we can choose Jhin and Zyra in the bottom lane.
Suppress C9's bottom lane as much as possible.
And the opposite jungler is a male gunner, so the success rate of catching people is relatively low..."
After talking about a lot of advantages of the lineup, Yates finally said something special: "I suggest that everyone should not choose this lineup. This combination does not fit the version well and it will be difficult to win."
Yezi didn't hide it. Jhin and Zyra are indeed not the answer to some version, but can only be selected and used when there is a specific lineup. If anyone chooses this combination like them, they will probably be beaten.
Mom doesn't even know me.
"This guy is really bad."
In the EDG backstage lounge, Abu and Nofe felt chilled after hearing this.
Although Yates finally emphasized that Zyra and Jhin did not meet the version, he still talked about the advantages of this lineup and did not mention the disadvantages at all.
Putting yourself in their shoes, what would they think if they were another team? Most likely, Zyra and Jhin are a very strong combination, but EDG didn’t want them to play in the bottom lane, so they said this deliberately.
At that time, I will still have to spend time trying this lineup in training games...
If the results in the training matches are not good, it’s okay. At most, it will waste some time. If the results in the training matches are good, they can be selected and used in the main game... Abramovich and Nofe no longer dare to think about it anymore.
Can Zyra and Jhin really counterattack the meta? They are not optimistic about it. After all, not every AD is named Yezi.
Interview booth.
Yu Shuang: “During the competition, we saw that Player Z’s Jhin skill has a very high hit rate. Do you have any tips?”
"Hmm~ As for the trick, just predict it more." Yezi said: "The trajectory of this skill is very narrow, and there is a certain delay. To be honest, I don't know how to describe it. I can only say it depends on the feel."
Although Yates wanted to teach the audience something about it, the feel of the hand is, after all, a very abstract concept that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
"Just practice more. I have always believed that practice makes perfect. The more you use a skill, you will know how to use it without even thinking."
Yu Shuang: "What do you want to say to C9's bottom lane? Can you comment on C9's bottom lane?"
"this……"
Ye Zi scratched his head in embarrassment.
Seeing this scene, everyone burst out laughing.
"Z God: Taicai."
“It’s so delicious that I have nothing to say.”
"It's embarrassing, how do you evaluate this?"
In the live broadcast room, the audience began to send comments one after another. Originally, the evaluation process had to be polite and a little more humane.
But in this game, C9's bottom lane was too bad, and they didn't even have the perspective to think about the world.
Yezi was a little embarrassed to speak directly, so in the end he could only say: "Everyone should pay more attention to Sneaky's women's clothing. His women's clothing cosplay is pretty good."
"Hahaha!"
Another barrage of hahaha passed by. Sneaky in the C9 lounge was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up: "He also likes to see my cosplay? I didn't expect that my fans have grown to LPL."
Seeing his appearance, several other members of C9 couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
But there is one thing to say, Sneaky’s women’s clothing is really good, sometimes they can be impressed by it...
Yu Shuang turned to the factory director: "Recently, the top laner has been replaced by a Zoom player, and it seems that he is getting along quite well. As a newcomer, how is the Zoom player's condition?"
This is also a question of concern to the audience.
As we all know, EDG's top laner is EDG's weakest point, and Zoom was introduced to EDG to strengthen the top lane.
However, looking at these two games, Zoom does not seem to have a very impressive performance.
Whether it is Troll or Gnar, the performance can only be said to be quite satisfactory.
"The state is okay, but it has not reached its peak yet." The factory director said with a smile: "I haven't played that many Zoom games, so I can't let go. I believe that Zoom will definitely become stronger and stronger, so you don't have to worry."
Ye Zi nodded secretly.
Compared to mouse, Zoom has a higher limit and a deeper hero pool.
Tank or warrior Zoom can be played well, but mouse can only play tank, and the most is Rambo.
In this regard, Zoom is much better than mouse.
Although Zoom currently does not have much outstanding performance, this is actually not just a personal problem of Zoom.
In addition to zoom itself being a bit nervous, the key is that EDG's team play style cannot effectively support the top lane.
After all, the core of EDG has been in the bottom lane all year long. Even if BP favors the top lane, it is difficult to change the style of play, and the tacit understanding between teammates and the top lane cannot be established in a day or two.
To put it bluntly, in the past, EDG’s top laners were free-range, leaving an eye on the top lane, and then fending for themselves.
It is impossible to suddenly focus on the top lane now, especially since the factory manager is already used to playing in the bottom half. If he is asked to go to the top half, he may suddenly not be able to play the game.
But having said that, this problem is indeed EDG's fatal weakness.
If the top lane problem cannot be changed during the World Championship, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for EDG to win the World Championship.
While thinking, Yu Shuang continued to ask: "In the wave at the 18-minute high ground, everyone in EDG wanted to do a wave but was counter-attacked by C9. Who in the team proposed to advance at that time?"
"who?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone's ears perked up.
In fact, there is no need for the players to answer, they already have a vague answer in their minds, but they still want to hear the players confirm it themselves.
"He is absolutely God Z."
"+1."
"Qi Jiang is so cowardly that it is impossible to make such a decision."
"Indeed, even if Qijiang plays Prince EQ, there will be people who run away..."
"Don't be embarrassed, Qi Jiang started a group much more aggressively this year than in previous years, at least he dared to use bigger tricks."
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of joy and laughter in the barrage. No matter whose fault it was, it was enough that the result was good.
Now when I look back at the mistakes made by the players in the game, I find them quite interesting.
In the interview room, the factory director was stunned by this question. Ye Zi didn't care and said: "I..."
As soon as he said a word, the factory director interrupted: "We made a decision together in the team. Seeing that the male spear and the snake girl didn't come back, we all thought we could do a wave, and then we did it. Unexpectedly, the snake girl used her ultimate move too much.
alright……"
"That's it." Yu Shuang said with a smile: "It's a pity to say that that wave almost ended the game, but without that wave of team battles, we wouldn't have been able to see Jhin's wonderful performance later."
Saying that, Yu Shuang turned his attention to Ye Zi: "Player Z, when there was no vision in the dragon pit, he got a fake pentakill and snatched away the dragon. It was really amazing. What did you think at the time?
Why did you decide to fight alone?"
Yates: "If C9 gets the baron, the situation will be very unfavorable for us, so we want to give it a try."
Yu Shuang joked: "In the end, after trying it, I even got the man and the dragon?"
"Mainly because I didn't expect that both Da Zui and Lulu were defeated, and the opponent's condition was not very good. Later I felt that I had a chance."
Recalling the team battle with Baron, Ye Zi was a little bit sad. The five C9 people were really miserable. He killed and took the dragon all by himself. But it makes more sense when you think about it. Baron had just refreshed at that time, and C9's development status was different.
No, beating the dragon is slow and difficult.
But C9 had to fight, and if they didn't fight, they would have no chance to come back. It can be said that C9's defeat was accidental, but it was also inevitable.
After the question ended, Yu Shuang asked the last question: "EDG has now scored three points and has a good chance of qualifying first in the group. Are you confident?"
Factory Director: "I can only say that we strive to be first in the group, but in fact, as long as we qualify, first and second are acceptable. Now we are preparing for the knockout rounds."
Yates: "Of course I have confidence, but compared to being first in the group, I still hope not to work overtime. 996 is really too much."
Hearing the two people's answers, Yu Shuang couldn't help but smile and said: "Then I wish EDG never to work overtime."
With that said, this interview is finally over.
On the way back, Ye Zi asked the factory director: "There is no need to take the blame for me..."
"Take the blame?" The factory director shook his head: "No, in fact, when everyone rushed to the tower with you, they already assumed that this wave of decisions was okay, so they rushed together.
Moreover, even if the pot is really divided, I, as the main conductor, should still bear the main responsibility."
"All right."
Ye Zi was helpless. He found that the factory director was indeed reasonable and convincing.
On the way, Yezi thought a lot.
In the EDG team, he received too much favor. From the coach to his teammates, everyone was trying their best to help him resist possible injuries.
And what he can repay the team is to stand at the front, become the sharpest sword, and crush all enemies that appear in front of him.
…
That night, the EDG team held a celebration banquet.
However, what they didn't know was that when they held the celebration banquet, the outside world had already exploded.
