Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Chapter 92 Let's cheer for RNG together with EDG in the audience
“I don’t doubt Scout’s ability, but playing Lucian in the middle is too risky.”

"Before level 13, it's very difficult for Lucian to use double E in a team fight, which means that if he kills two combat-attributed elemental dragons in a row in the early stage, he will be in a very passive situation. Since he has given up fighting in the bottom lane, the combat power of the mid laner is the top priority."

Ye Tian gave a good reason: "I don't know how the club will arrange it. Should I play or Mouse play in the World Championship? If I play, my role in teleporting to the bottom half to harvest the mess and gain development is greater than one or two little dragons. It is not worth sacrificing my development for that kind of soft team resources."

"Of course, it's not that I can't sacrifice myself. I have no problem sacrificing myself when the team needs me, but sacrificing myself for Xiaolong is not cost-effective."

Gold coins are hard income.

Dragon is soft gain.

There is no need to say much about wind and water.

When there is only one Fire Dragon, the bonus does not reach a qualitative level. It seems that the percentage bonus is not low, but after being converted again after the skill bonus, the improvement to AP, tanks, and support heroes is almost nothing.

A single earth dragon is useful.

but.

EDG needs to think about whether the 10% additional true damage to buildings and ancient monsters is really more valuable than a top-level top laner snowballing.

"Makes sense."

"Let's try it out in a training match and then decide."

Abu couldn't make an accurate judgment, so he decided to put the topic aside and prove it with facts.

"Yes, let's try it in a training match!"

"Let's go, let's go back and eat. This BO5 between WE and IG has made me hungry!"

Iboy called out.

The EDG team rushed to the venue when WE and IG were playing their third game.

As a result, the score after the third game was IG 2 to WE 1, and the final score was WE winning 3 to 2, which made EDG wait for a very long time.

Board the club bus.

Drive to the base.

Ye Tian took out his mobile phone on the way and looked through community news related to LOL such as Tieba, Weibo, Bilibili, Douyin, and Palm League.

Recently, there have been one storm after another in the LOL circle. In addition to Ye Tian's deliberate creation of some rhythms in order to become famous as soon as possible, there are also RNG and UZI's water army companies stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Especially after RNG lost to EDG in the summer season and was punished by the official.

In the eyes of many passers-by, since the RNG club and UZI have already been punished by the authorities, there is no need to mention the wrong things they did before.

RNG took the opportunity to market topics such as the all-Chinese team and the runner-up in the S game, and for a time it occupied the high ground of public opinion.

It's not that the Starch and Piglets groups are not as large as HZ and GSL, but that EDG and Clearlove's world championship results are too convincing. No matter how good their performance is in the region or how gorgeous the data is, as long as the World Finals are mentioned, Starch and Piglets will be more guilty than each other.

The most interesting thing is that the numbers of "Waste Mingkai", "4396" and "7" are really mysterious. No one knows whether the factory manager will get all four eights in the S7 finals...

At night.

Three more explosive messages popped up.

The first one was a classic statement from Huang Za - he just hopes EDG and WE can beat the Korean team.

The second is that Faker suspected that a Korean server player with the ID ZhanQiSuSuSu was using scripts.

The third point is that UZI was mocked by his teammates during the live broadcast for "Four protecting one and still can't carry", and he entered the red temperature defense-breaking mode. Not only did he attack his teammates for not having a horse, he also shamelessly said that it didn't matter whether he won the LPL championship or not, the number one seed was to attract firepower, and for the sake of the world game results, not taking the number one seed was the best choice.

Some people dream of becoming the second UZI, but they will never become it. They only dare to call themselves the second UZI online, and when they meet offline, they ask for autographs and take photos.

Finally, he added another sentence.

——Meeting me in the bottom lane is like meeting Faker in the middle lane.

Funny thing is.

This argument has many supporters.

[Xiaogou is right. What’s the point of winning the LPL regional championship? There are two every year. It doesn’t matter who wins.]

[Some teams are only good at playing in internal battles, and can’t even make it to the quarterfinals of the world championship]

[To be honest, UZI is indeed the highest achievement of LPL]

[When UZI won the world runner-up, some haters had never even played League of Legends]

[Only strong ones are qualified to protect one with four, not one with four. Understand this principle before you come out and applaud.]

[UZI's two world runner-ups are nothing in the mouths of some haters? What runner-ups are you talking about? ]

[Those who criticize UZI are all unhappy with their lives. When their income exceeds one million, they will understand what UZI has done and what they have done.]

but.

There were also many counterattacks under the slicing video.

[I initially thought he was just a noob and a pretentious person, but it turns out he doesn't even realize he has good manners. He even wants to be the next UZI and ask for autographs. I guess he doesn't even know his last name.]

[I am so anxious about the comments. Do you know how many people want others' autographs? Stop showing off your presence. Your frustrated looks are laughable.]

[You’re right, Kuangfeng asked UZI for his autograph]

[Hahahaha, I was so amused when you said Kuangfeng wanted an autograph. We can’t leave garbage on the stage, right? ]

[I think the term "four protecting one" is not a derogatory term. If you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. If you use the term "four protecting one" to trap four teammates, it doesn't mean that this tactic is not good. It's like when others laugh at your poor performance, you go and scold their parents. Maybe this is UZI's runner-up style.]

"Fuck, that's hilarious!"

Iboy was a little angry: "It's as if he deliberately didn't win the championship. I used to regard him as an idol... By the way, Ye Tian, ​​don't you still have a dozen autographed photos in your hand? Take them out and tear them up on the live broadcast!"

"Why are you throwing tantrums like a child? Do you really want to be the second UZI?" Ye Tian pointed out the key point: "Instead of caring about UZI's incompetent rage, you might as well take a look at ZhanQiSuSuSu's playing style."

"ZhanQiSuSuSu?"

"The one that Faker reported the script to?"

Iboy listened to Ye Tian's reminder, found the video of that game, watched several team battles carefully, and frowned: "The speed of his A and skill avoidance is not right, it's not very good."

"He is not a script." Ye Tian was sure.

"No?" Iboy was skeptical.

"I can also perform this kind of walking A and dodging skills, and more smoothly than him." Ye Tian talked about the matter.

"Can you be the same, LPL region... No, there is no newcomer better than you in the world. Any AD can compare with you?" Iboy felt that Ye Tian's comparison was inappropriate.

"Indeed." The factory manager nodded: "Although you are a little black, you still have strength."

"What do you mean by black? I always tell the truth, okay?" Ye Tian refuted flatly: "But this ZhanQiSuSuSu is really not a script. I know who he is."

"Who?" the factory manager asked curiously.

"The Able from RNG youth training, Dai Zhichun." Ye Tian remembered it very clearly.

Able.

Nicknamed "A-walking monster".

Later he was awarded the title of "Esports Inventor".

The reason is that not only did the A-walking monster single-handedly popularize the item Ardent Censer in the S7 season, he also developed the teleporting EZ gameplay for the first time in 18, which was imitated by the then Rat King Pray. He helped the KZ team win two games with this, and his cognition and understanding of the bottom lane heroes is at an extremely high level.

What Ye Tian remembers most clearly is that the A-walking monster had long seen through the nature of the RNG contract team, deliberately played badly and was expelled, thus gaining free agent status.

At the beginning, the outside world said that the A-walking monster was useless, had a bad mentality, did not respect his predecessors, and wasted his rare talent. RNG fans applauded and celebrated the driving out of a cancer.

It was not until the RNG contract freeze, non-payment of salaries, and the "deadbeat" incident broke out that everyone realized that the A-walking monster was a wise man in disguise.

"It's him?"

"Then I'll study it carefully!"

Iboy was aroused to be competitive.

As a new generation talent, Iboy officially became a starter for EDG, one of the Big Three, as soon as he turned 17 as required by the LPL. It only took him days from his debut to winning the playoffs.

By comparison.

Another talented AD player, JackeyLove, seems much inferior.

Now, another A-walking monster has appeared.

Of course Iboy wanted to suppress the opponent.

soon.

The identity of the walking monster is revealed to the world.

Other clubs participating in the S7 finals have explored the 7.18 World Championship version and the Censer gameplay promoted by the A-walking monster. Soft support Censer has gradually become the mainstream in Rank and training games. Hard support has gradually disappeared due to a series of shortcomings such as weak laning, insufficient roaming ability, and difficulty in triggering the Censer special effects.

9 month 23 day.

The 2017 League of Legends World Championship Qualifiers kicked off at the Wuhan Sports Center.

After three days of group matches and one day of knockout matches, the third seeds from the three major mainstream regions, LPL, LCS.EU, and LCS.NA, all advanced without any suspense by crushing the wildcard regions.

The only wild card that made it through was the luckier 1907 Fenerbahçe (FB).

then.

It's time to draw for the group stage.

"Hello, summoners."

"I'm Ren Dong."

"I'm Shaggy."

"I am Wang Duoduo."

Undying Grasp's Ren Dong and two commentators were responsible for the introduction of the draw ceremony: "Before the draw guests come on stage, let me introduce the rules - teams from the same region will not be placed in the same group. Since the LCK region does not need to participate in the qualifying round, there will be three LCK teams participating in the draw in the group stage, which will result in at least two LPL teams meeting LCK teams in the group stage."

"This is not necessarily a bad thing." Wang Duoduo analyzed: "If you want to win the championship, you must overcome the LCK mountain. Since you must play against the LCK, it is better to play early than late. I think it is okay to understand the opponent's strength and bottom line in advance."

"Although I don't know who touched whom." Changmao said a little sarcastically. "It depends on your strength and performance." Wang Duoduo countered lightly.

"Yes, let's look at the second rule." Ren Dong interrupted the two people's argument: "In the group stage, the No. 1 seed teams of LMS, EU, LPL, and LCK will be divided into four different groups, and since NA region did not qualify in the MSI group stage, its No. 1 seed team will also be divided into the No. 2 lottery pool."

"Our draw guests, AmazingJ and Rookie, have walked onto the stage. Let's take a look at the draw results!"

off the field.

The participating teams and the fans who supported those teams watched the live broadcast nervously.

Strength is the most important thing.

The importance of draw luck is second only to strength.

Just think of the old royal family.

The old Royal Club was indeed strong as it was able to defeat EDG and OMG consecutively. But what if the old Royal Club had worse luck and met SKT or SSW earlier?
In most competitions, the champion is more about strength than luck.

Below the championship, it’s all about luck rather than strength.

The ancient handsome man AmazingJ, wearing a white printed shirt, walked to the table where the No. 1 lottery pool was placed under the gaze of countless eyes, and reached out to touch the mysterious black sphere.

Twist off the sphere.

Unfold the paper inside.

It is printed with the EDG team icon with a dark green background and black and white logo.

The big screen then switched to the scene of EDG winning three games in a row, and all the members holding up the Silver Dragon Cup under the spotlight. The wonderful performances of the rookie top laner on the court were also replayed.

"The No. 1 seed is in Group A."

"good sign!"

Ren Dong boasted: "Look at the draw later... LCK No. 2 seed Longzhu is in Group B, EU No. seed G is in Group C. In this way, Group D is LSM No. seed FW."

"Only FW is left." Changmao added with a smile.

"Then please invite Rookie to our second lottery pool to draw lots." Ren Dong commented: "This is very crucial. It directly determines the grouping of the group stage and some quarterfinals and semifinals."

Number one is the team with the best performance in the internal wars of each division.

but.

Performance in civil wars cannot be equated with performance in foreign wars.

There is no need to say much about the classic EDG.

The NA region also has the obvious example of TSM, the god of internal war, and C9, the light of North America.

In the LCK, which has the strongest overall strength, the SKT and SSG teams seem to be ranked lower than LZ. However, both in media rankings and in the mouths of professional players, SKT and LZ are considered to be strong teams of the same level.

Even though SSG is slightly weaker, the difference is not that big.

At least outside the LCK region, no team dares to say that they can defeat SSG.

After an introduction.

Rookie walked over to the table where the No. 2 draft pool was placed.

Find the ball.

Twist open.

Rookie's right hand trembled violently when he vaguely saw the edge of the team logo. His expression instantly became extremely embarrassed. He even had the urge to screw the ball back and draw again.

He unfolded the note tremblingly.

On it is the T1 team logo consisting of a red base and flying wings, and the white font next to it clearly reads - SKT.

[Wow, the golden legend! 】

【It's poisonous】

[Is this fate? One out of eight? ]

[Zizhizhang: Next season, we will play IG and stay in the middle lane]

[Declare if you can get me a broiler chicken, I really want to eat roast chicken]

[No wonder Rouji almost cried, it turned out that SKT was drawn into the same group]

[What the hell? They start by playing against SKT? ]

[It’s not easy to deal with the enemy team]

[How did you draw this lot? You drew the strongest one from the eight teams]

The starch, the piglets and even the passers-by were a little hard to bear.

In contrast, HZ and GSL started gloating before the group stage even started.

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha made me laugh so hard】

【happy】

[A cool song for everyone]

[Don’t be enemies anymore, SKT is treating EDG as a gift]

[How dare you cry about the grouping? Last year, I was in the group with INTZ, H2K, and AHQ. If the grouping was good, we would still have played terribly. This year, helping other teams bear the pressure is the biggest role.]

[Gouye has already said that the number one seed is to attract firepower]

"Brilliant!!"

"Good job, chicken!"

In the RNG club, UZI waved his fist to vent his emotions: "Drawing SKT to EDG is so beautiful. SKT firmly occupies the first place in the group. Draw two more strong teams to EDG and send them away directly!"

"We made money, we made money even though we didn't win the championship." Xiaohu clapped his hands beside him: "If we win the summer championship, we will face SKT in the group stage. It will be difficult whether we fight them or save our strength to get second place in the group."

In most cases, the first place in the group will be stronger than the second place.

In the quarter-finals, the second-placed team in each group will have to compete with the first-placed teams in other groups, and the difficulty of advancing has obviously increased a lot.

Seeing EDG's unlucky draw, RNG swept away the shadow of its failure in the summer finals and waited to watch EDG make a fool of itself.

on the main stage.

Rookie continued to draw lots.

This time, the one drawn was SSG.

According to the principle of avoiding teams in the same division, SSG skipped Group B where LZ was located and competed with EU's No. 2 seed G in Group C.

The third one drawn, IMT, fell into Group B, and the fourth one drawn, AHQ, avoided Flash Wolves FW and was moved to Group A where EDG was.

See this situation.

The barrage became more lively.

Many viewers remember that in last year's World Finals, EDG was placed in the same group as AHQ, and was once pushed to the brink of life and death by AHQ, almost losing the right to qualify.

this year.

EDG met AHQ again.

If AHQ succeeds in its revenge... wow, that would be so satisfying!
Next, the teams Rookie drew were the European Rabbits MSF, Vietnamese GAM, RNG, and finally TSM.

When the qualifying teams entered their respective positions, the groups were finalized.

Group A: EDG, SKT, AHQ, C9
Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC
Group C: G2, SSG, RNG, FB
Group D: FW, MSF, TSM, WE
"Among the strong teams this year, LCK No. 1 seed LongZ has the best luck in the draw."

Ren Dong commented: "Except for LZ, the other three teams in Group B are much weaker. It's basically a crushing defeat. The only suspense is the second qualifying spot."

"Indeed." Wang Duoduo agreed with this statement: "WE's luck in the draw is not bad. Compared with the first and second seed teams in other regions, FW, TSM, and MSF are not very threatening. WE is very lucky to be drawn into Group D."

"The main reason is that WE is the third seed and will definitely face the first and second seed from other regions." Changmao pointed out: "The A and C groups where EDG and RNG are sitting can be said to be the groups of death. The strength of SKT in Group A is beyond doubt. The light of North America C9 has performed very well in foreign wars over the years, and AHQ is not completely uncompetitive."

"Group C is a fight between G2, RNG, and SSG. 1907 Fenerbahçe, who made it through the wildcard round, was assigned to this group. It can only be said that their luck ran out in the play-in round."

Outside views and interpretations are basically consistent.

The only difference is the view on RNG and EDG.

The vast majority of viewers believe that RNG is capable of suppressing G2 and competing with SSG for the first place in the group, while EDG will inevitably be suppressed by SKT, and it is questionable whether they can beat C9.

[For your information, EDG was almost defeated by AHQ in 16, not in 14. They almost didn’t make it out of the group stage in S4 and S6.]

[Little knowledge, EDG is the only LPL club that lost to a provincial team]

[Classic civil war fantasy, foreign war to admit defeat]

[Come on EDG, just beat SKT's stuff. You guys deserve one-third of the credit for RNG's win]

[Clearlove8: I’m already studying S9’s opponents]

[I feel like Huni's slashing of Tyrannosaurus this year is just like his slashing of Zedzi two years ago. That scene is so beautiful. I can't wait to see it.]

[I really don't understand what's wrong with people nowadays. EDG is an LPL team. Are you so happy that it can't qualify from the group stage? I don't care what others think. For me, I always believe that EDG is that EDG. It will definitely appear in the Bird's Nest in the finals. When the time comes, let's cheer for RNG together with EDG sitting on the bench.]

The factory manager was reading the messages on Tieba while waiting in the rank queue.

The more I brush, the angrier I get.

He turned around and wanted to discuss something with Ye Tian.

Look carefully at what's on the screen.

The factory director's face suddenly turned dark.

Ye Tian was seen typing a paragraph under the post criticizing EDG.

——[Ming has eight strokes, Kai has eight strokes, Ming and Kai have sixteen strokes. We were among the top eight two years ago, the top eight last year, and the top sixteen this year.]
