Chapter 1: Hell Starts Silver Randomly Enters Professional Tournament
Chapter 1 The beginning of hell, Bai Yin enters the professional competition in chaos
"Lost again!"
"2:0...If we lose another game, it will be over."
"What's going on with mouse? I can't understand it even if I'm playing with it."
"If you have such a good meal, you can go home and raise pigs."
LPL Summer Finals, EDG vs. RNG.
At this time, EDG had lost two games in a row, and one more loss would mean they would miss the Summer Championship.
In other words, every subsequent game is a life and death situation for EDG.
Starch, who has been looking forward to it for a year, has completely lost his mentality. He wildly questioned the performance of EDG top laner Mouse on the barrage.
But in fact, we can’t blame the fans. After all, judging from mouse’s record, it is indeed not ideal.
…
EDG backstage lounge.
Abu and Nofe looked at each other with heavy expressions.
Neither of them expected that RNG would be so strong this year.
EDG and RNG are old rivals. We know the basics. In the past matches between the two teams, EDG was even better. But this year...
"Originally, Xiangguo Xiaohu's midfielder was difficult to deal with, and there was Uzi in the bottom lane...sigh."
Abramovich glanced at the score on the scoreboard and couldn't help but feel discouraged.
S7 was by no means a friendly year for EDG. The departure of Fat General and Deft caused EDG's overall strength to drop by at least one level.
If it weren't for the two powerful players Scout and iboy who were drawn from the card draw, EDG's strength would probably be even higher.
But even so, EDG has reached its limit now.
"What a pity."
Hearing Abu's sigh, Nofe couldn't help but sigh.
Although losing this bo5 will not affect EDG's entry into the World Championship, it will affect EDG's overall momentum.
After all, if you can't make a fantasy god in Civil War, what else can you expect in the World Championship?
…
The coaching staff sighed and groaned constantly.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, the five starting players from EDG walked into the room dejectedly.
As soon as they entered the door, the five team members sat in their seats and said nothing.
Especially top laner Mouse, with his head lowered and his chin propped up on his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
Abu just glanced at the team members and knew that their mentality was affected to some extent.
This made Abu, who originally wanted to say something, swallow the words in his mouth again.
For a moment, the entire lounge fell into silence, and the atmosphere gradually became depressing.
In the end, it was Abramovich who took the lead to break the silence and said: "Don't put too much pressure on everyone now. Play every game as the last game. You may not be able to let two chase three."
Let two chase three?
As soon as these words came out, many people present could not help but shake their heads secretly.
Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible for two to chase three, but this year's RNG is so strong, and EDG's overall strength has declined instead of rising.
In this case, it is not easy to let two chase three.
Seeing that there was no reaction from the team members, Abu was a little helpless.
The third game is about to begin. If the players compete in this state, there is a high probability that they will be beaten three to zero by RNG.
Thinking of this, Abu said it was impossible not to rush.
Although I can accept losing the game, I can't just sit back and wait for death.
Seeing this, Nofe hesitated for a moment, walked to Abu and whispered: "If it doesn't work, why not let Show come on and give it a try?"
"You mean...substitute?"
Abu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted.
Nofe nodded: "Although show's performance in the training match is average, its style is different from mouse. It may have a surprising effect."
After hearing Nofe's suggestion, Abu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Show is Mouse's substitute. His real name is Ye Xiu. He was discovered by the director from passers-by and then introduced to EDG.
The problem of EDG's single tactics is no longer a problem for a day or two. The coaching staff has been trying to change it. The reason for bringing in Ye Xiu is to try a new style of play.
But contrary to expectations, the addition of show did not bring substantial improvement to EDG.
Not only did his performance in the training matches be average, but the few games he played also lacked any highlights.
In the end, everyone had a tacit understanding not to let Ye Xiu play. If Nofe hadn't mentioned it today, Abramovich wouldn't have thought about substitution at all.
But at this moment, Abramovich couldn't help but start thinking about the possibility of Ye Xiu starting.
In terms of strength, there is not much difference between Ye Xiu and mouse, but generally speaking, mouse has more experience in games and has a higher winning rate.
If it were Ye Xiu who played, the situation would be completely unknown.
It is possible to lose faster, or it is possible to catch the opponent by surprise.
Thinking of this, Abramovich couldn't help but feel troubled. He didn't know whether he should change the starting lineup.
"If we lose, it's just a training exercise. If we win, we still have room for adjustment."
Nofe continued to persuade.
Judging from the first two games, RNG has studied them very thoroughly, and there is a high probability of being defeated three to zero without substitutions.
On the other hand, the team lost two games in a row, and mouse was somewhat stunned. It was better to adjust it in the audience.
If the substitute loses, he goes home directly.
If the substitute wins, they can still continue to swing between Ye Xiu and mouse.
I have to say, Nofe’s words still make sense.
Abu was originally wavering, but now he finally made up his mind.
"Then let Show come on stage and give it a try."
In the lounge, Abramovich officially stated his idea of changing the team members.
"Um?"
Several EDG players were a little confused. They didn't expect that the coaching staff had been holding back for a long time before making such a big move.
iboy couldn't help but said: "I haven't even played a few show training matches..."
The other team members didn't say anything, but they basically agreed with iboy.
Mouse has been working with the team for so long but still can't beat RNG. So he switched to Show to play. Is it because the team didn't lose quickly enough?
But now Abu had made up his mind and glanced at iboy: "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Immediately, Abu turned his eyes to mouse and said: "Mouse, please take a break in the audience for this round, adjust your condition, and be ready to play at any time."
Surprisingly, after hearing Abramovich's decision, Mouse seemed relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Good coach."
It can be seen that mouse is under great pressure, which makes Abu strengthen his judgment.
Seeing that Abu was determined to make a substitution, the other team members said nothing more.
Up to now, it doesn't matter whether it's the mouse top order or the show top order.
In the EDG team, top lane has never been the key point that affects victory or defeat.
"Ye Xiu, next time, you come on!"
After making the decision, the entire EDG team couldn't help but look at Ye Xiu next to the water dispenser.
But what they didn't know was that Ye Xiu was looking at everything in the lounge with wide eyes at this time.
