Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

Chapter 93: Dying and Sick, I Wake Up and Ask Where the Kitchen Knife is

"You little... blackie!"

"It was fine before I came to EDG, but now that I'm here, you dare to make fun of me in person?!"

The factory manager had an inexplicable urge to transform himself into his old rival: "The word Ming has eight strokes, the word Kai has eight strokes... the quarterfinals two years ago, the quarterfinals last year... why does it sound so natural..."

"It does come out smooth." Meiko laughed happily.

Meiko, a veteran team member, leads the team.

The cheerful voices of Iboy, Mouse and Audi spread throughout the training room.

Although Scout and Zet didn't quite understand what the joke was about, they joined in when they saw everyone was laughing.

“It has to be smooth!”

"And let me tell you, you actually have all four of the top eight."

After Ye Tian sent the previous sentence, he continued to edit the text in the post, reading out the content while typing: "The four eight-strokes corresponding to Fei, Wu, Ming, and Kai have all won the S2, 4, 5, and 6 seasons. This year, they will definitely be eliminated in the top ."

? ? ? !
I am!

The factory manager once again switched from Dark Kai to the vaguely visible Eight Gates form.

I was just about to make a few rebuttals.

Think about it.

I really can't organize the words to refute.

"Why does Ye Tianyi keep posting to slander Mingkai?"

Coach Maokai didn't quite understand: "Besides, if you criticize Mingkai, you are also criticizing our EDG team. If Mingkai makes it to the top 16, none of us can escape... and neither can you."

"You must first suppress before you can praise someone, understand?" Ye Tian said confidently, "First, we'll lead the trend and make fun of ourselves for a while, so that everyone will think that we are destined to be in the top 16. Only when we achieve good results will there be a sense of contrast. If everyone thinks that we can win the championship, what will happen if we win?"

"Take Mingkai for example. Is it useful for him to win the LPL championship now? Can it change the fact that everyone criticizes him for being a waste?"

After listening to this.

The factory manager's temperature gradually rose.

But I can still control it.

After all, Ye Tian often says the four words "waste Mingkai", and the factory manager has gradually become immune to it. He also feels that after such training, his mentality has become better and better, and he will have a more stable performance in the game.

however.

When the factory manager saw that Ye Tian had changed the post and replied with new content, he exploded.

——[Nine blind monks and one ball, the fourth floor record is 3-9-6]

"Little B bastard!"

"Don't run!"

"Don't run away if you can!"

In the training room.

The other EDG players watched the parkour show that had been performed from time to time since Ye Tian joined, chatting and laughing, while curiously checking the All-Star event of S6.

That one was clone mode.

With 4396 in front, everyone chose Lee Sin without any prior agreement.

When selecting people, the factory manager was on the fourth floor.

After being kicked around like a ball for the entire game, the record was exactly 3-9-6.

"Wow, it's actually true!"

“I have no recollection of it.”

Meiko was quite surprised. While the factory manager was resting on the sofa and couldn't see the training room, she quickly came to Ye Tian's computer and sent the screenshot she just found using Ye Tian's Tieba account...

Of course, Ye Tian is not the only one who criticizes EDG.

In fact.

When EDG was drawn together with SKT, AHQ, and C9, the entire Internet was pessimistic about EDG. In addition, RNG had just fallen out with EDG and mobilized its internet trolls to fan the flames. Before the group stage even started, EDG was sentenced to death online.

Perfect OB, who is also HZ + Iron Blood GSL, even belittled EDG in the live broadcast: "Don't tell me that EDG has ever beaten SKT. What's the point of having beaten SKT? The ones who beat SKT were General Pawn who fought with Faker, Deft who was one of the ten Samsung players, and Tong Wudi who was the world's No. 1 top laner at that time. Without these three people, what does EDG have? Or what?"

"——We couldn't make it to the finals in the spring season, and in the summer season, we didn't rely on a new top laner, but we were swept 3-0 by RNG."

"what?"

"EDG's new top laner is stronger than Tong Wudi?"

"I tell you, internal wars are useless. EDG is strong in internal wars every year. The main thing to look at is external performance. This year, SKT's top laner is Huni, who killed a lot of people in the world championship two years ago. C9's top laner is S3 champion Daimu. AHQ's top laner Ziv almost killed Marin in S5. EDG's Tian can only play two long-range heroes to take advantage. Doesn't Huni kill him with one set of Riven? Doesn't Daimu kill him with a hammer when he uses his E?"

【Well said】

[The host’s analysis makes so much sense]

[For your information, SKT has never lost a championship as long as it enters the S-League, and C9 has never missed the quarterfinals as long as it enters the S-League]

[SKT champion, C9 quarterfinals = EDG top ]

[What the hell are you talking about? SKT wants to win the championship? RNG is going to quit them this year? ]

[In the internal war, they were indeed no match for the Prince Team. In the external war, RNG was absolutely great and didn’t lose too much.]

[EDG didn't rely on privileges to promote new players who had never played in the regular season. How dare they challenge RNG? They even had a one-minute BO5 against Uzi and a space-time rift. I suggest they don't have to fight anymore and just give the award to EDG.]

[No one really cares about the LPL's pre-determined champion, right? No way? ]

[Is the Royal Club having fun? The LPL rules were changed last year, and registered players can directly play in the playoffs]

[Kick this idiot out]

[Eternally seal him]

[Zhu Za came to RNG's dedicated OB live broadcast room to recognize his father? 】

"Kicked it."

Perfect OB banned the viewer who told the truth and continued the topic: "To be fair, I am not blackmailing EDG just because I support RNG. Look at EDG's lineup. Zet has been dragging down the team for a whole year, so they can only let Iboy play. In RNG, is an A-walking monster of the same level as Iboy qualified to start?"

"After comparing them like this, you will know how big the gap is between Iboy and UZI."

"Both the top and bottom lanes are not good. The jungler made four quarterfinals. The middle laner Scout is nicknamed "Little Brother". He was originally a substitute for SKT. I think he doesn't even dare to breathe in front of Faker - you should all understand the culture of bullying in Korea."

【Waiting for EDG to be eliminated】

【Welcome to the S7 group stage, will the factory manager bring us a miracle? What is the factory manager going to do? The factory manager picked the blind monk? ! The whole audience was boiling, the coach and teammates seemed to be trying to stop him, well, he locked on, yes, it was the blind monk! The coach kicked the screen, and the teammates seemed to be wrestling with the factory manager】

[It’s too much to say that EDG made it to the top 16. Wouldn’t it be better to let them advance to the quarterfinals and face LZ Samsung? 】

[Anyway, it’s either the top 16 or the top 8, there’s no way a higher result can be achieved]

[Qi Jiang's clever plan pacifies the world, who is not afraid of the time and space rift, Mantis, Widowmaker, Rek'Sai, Lee Sin comes on the field to give away the game, the invincible five-time champion in the civil war, but it's a pity that the provincial team is stronger, so they came back from 2-0 to 3-0 to create a myth, and the top eight every year are eight strokes]

[The reason why EDG did not perform well in the World Championship was discovered, and there is no way to go back to the past]

【…】

HZ and GSL launched attacks on EDG.

Although the pace in other places was not so exaggerated, the overall trend was consistent. They all believed that no matter how EDG played, it would be impossible for them to break through the blockade of LZ or Samsung after advancing after fighting SKT.

This year, they will either be eliminated in the quarterfinals as in previous years, or set a new record - being beaten back in the group stage.

The comments on the WE and RNG teams are much better.

Although the WE1.0 five-man team known as the Red Legion only existed in ancient times, it has only been five years since then and many things are still remembered by everyone. At least we know that the WE avatar in the client is the IPL5 champion reward.

Even though it is not as good as the S series champion skin, it is also a rare commemoration.

Not to mention RNG.

A series of words such as "the highest probability of winning the championship", "don't you know the strength of Royal Club", "the hope of the entire LPL" were all put on RNG.

Time passes day by day.

A week after the qualifiers ended, the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals - group stage officially kicked off at the Wuhan Sports Center.

This sports center, named after the city, is located in the Economic and Technological Development Zone (Chunkou). It is a two-venue plan of a gymnasium and a swimming pool. There are also a series of ancillary buildings around it. The total area is 1580 acres. The largest venue can accommodate a full spectators.

The 07 Women's World Cup and City Games were held here.

Starting from noon, large numbers of spectators arrived at the venue in advance and checked their tickets to take their seats. Since four well-known teams, EDG, RNG, LZ, and SKT, all started their games today, the number of spectators reached 90% of the venue's capacity.

3 pm.

The opening ceremony of the group stage, which is also the official start of the team entrance ceremony, all qualified platforms began to broadcast the scene.

Accompanied by the introduction of host Ren Dong.

Last year's world finals champion team - SKT was the first to step onto the stage and walked to the trophy stand engraved with white dragon scales. Faker and Bang worked together to return the original Summoner's Championship Trophy that had been kept for a whole year.

The spotlight shines.

The trophy has a silver base and is inlaid with sapphires, reflecting a hazy halo that is truly mesmerizing.

Next up is the Red Pegasus AHQ from LMS, and C9, which is known as the "Light of North America" ​​and has performed outstandingly in foreign wars over the years.

After the first three Group A teams have taken their positions.

EDG, the host and LPL's No. 1 seed, made its final appearance.

According to the previous standing order, Meiko, wearing EDG's long-sleeved jersey, was the first to walk out of the player channel, followed by Iboy, Scout, Zz1tai, Mouse and...Audi? !
【what's the situation? 】

[Where is Brother Kuangfeng? Why didn't he come up? ]

[No, Mouse is still on the starting list, but what the hell is Audi?]

【Audi? Alto! 】

[You know what, Audi reached his peak right after his debut, and he chased RNG into the fountain with his sword. I didn’t expect that this was the only highlight of his career]

[It's not that Audi is not good at playing, but that Prince Audi used reverse EQ to sell out the factory manager and prevented him from going up]

[Hahahaha, that one is so classic]

【EDG can only have one Clearlove Run】

[Stop kidding, seriously, why didn’t Kuangfeng go on stage? I’m so stupid]

[With Kuangfeng on the field, EDG still has some hope. Without Kuangfeng, who will EDG rely on in the top lane? ]

Starch and the piglets were a little anxious.

Without waiting for teams B, C, and D to go on stage, they started asking in the comment section of EDG's official Weibo, forum, and fan group. Some die-hard fans even privately chatted with the players and coaches using the contact information they had added previously.

In response to fans' questions, EDG quickly gave an answer.

——[Hello everyone, this is EDG E-sports Club] [Around 10 a.m. on October 3, Tian (Ye Tian), a player from EDG League of Legends Division, developed a high fever and immediately went to the hospital accompanied by the team doctor]

[After an emergency checkup at the hospital, Tian was ordered to stay in the hospital for observation overnight. After a second checkup today, Tian's physical condition has improved, but he still needs to be hospitalized for rest according to the doctor's orders. The club's team doctor and the team leader will also stay in the hospital to accompany Tian for treatment.]

[We are very sorry that Tian will temporarily leave the competition. We will continue to follow up on Tian's physical condition. We wish Tian a speedy recovery and return to the team. Come on, Tian! ]

In addition to the official language.

EDG fans also got some inside information from the factory manager - Ye Tian's fever reached as high as 42 degrees. If he hadn't been rushed to the hospital immediately, he might have died. His condition is not particularly stable now.

In addition, Audi's identity is an emergency substitute, and Ye Tian is an official substitute. That is to say, as long as Ye Tian recovers well, he can appear on the court at any time and will not be restricted by the rules of the S7 finals.

After seeing EDG’s official Weibo and the factory manager’s answer, the fans and piglets finally put their hearts back in their stomachs.

A fever is no big deal.

It will be fine soon.

EDG will play against the weakest Red Pegasus AHQ in Group A today. Even if the super-strong new top laner is not used, it should not be difficult for EDG to beat the second seed of the LMS region with the old lineup that made it to the LPL Summer Finals... right?

10 month 5 day.

3:30 p.m.

The opening match of the S7 finals was between RNG and 1907 Fenerbahce.

From this arrangement, we can see that in the eyes of the official, even though EDG is the champion of this year's summer season and has the largest fan base in the entire LPL, its status is still far behind RNG, which inherited the old Royal Club's double runner-up title + all-Chinese team. They even feel that EDG is not sure to win against AHQ, so they put RNG vs. 1907 Fenerbahce in the first game.

The result of the first battle was in line with everyone's expectations.

In the e-sports jinx list released by ESPN, the order of combat power ranking for this World Finals is SKT, LZ, SSG, RNG, and WE. RNG, ranked fourth, is second only to the three LCK teams. On paper, its strength can be said to be the top in non-LCK regions.

In 1907, Fenerbahçe was at the bottom of the table without any dispute.

RNG acted like a lion fighting a rabbit and put all their efforts into it. They came up with a safe lineup that took into account the early, middle and late stages, and attacked in a step-by-step manner. It was not until 38 minutes and 40 seconds that they finally pushed down the base of 1907 Fenerbahce.

The audience cheered.

No matter what your opponent is like, winning is winning.

The second game was between G2 and SSG. As the strongest team in Europe, G2 really showed its fighting ability against SSG, the third seed of LCK. The two sides fought back and forth in small-scale team battles and the fight for kills was very fierce.

but.

Even though the number of kills was the same, SSG still relied on classic Korean operations to lead G2 by more than economy!
In the late stage of the game, G2's equipment was left behind and they were unable to resist SSG's attack. After a dignity fight in front of the base, they lost the game with a total score of 5-9.

In the third game, LZ crushed IMT with a free-for-all style of play, showing the absolute confidence of the LCK champion.

In the fourth game, the Vietnamese captain Levi took off like a nightmare and led his team to defeat the veteran powerhouse FNC.

In the fifth game, SKT crushed C9 and showed their triple crown style.

"Hello everyone, summoners. We are going to bring you the last match of the day - EDG vs. AHQ, which is also the second match of our LPL team in the World Finals."

Wawa is full of expectations: "I am really happy to commentate on the game in my own region. Before the game, everyone analyzed EDG's qualifying form a lot, and there is a consensus that every point in the group stage is crucial to EDG."

"That's right." Miller nodded. "In the last game, SKT showed great strength and put a lot of pressure on the other three teams in Group A. If they lose points to a team that shouldn't lose points, the situation will not be so optimistic."

The two commentators chatted for a while.

The lineups for EDG and AHQ were selected.

On the blue side, EDG used an offensive lineup with Shen on top, Sejuani in the jungle, Lucian in the mid lane, and Kog'Maw + Lulu in the bottom lane. AHQ used a system that was more focused on development and the late game with Moltres on top, Gragas in the jungle, Corki in the mid lane, and Twitch + Janna in the bottom lane.

early stage.

EDG played very proactively.

Especially Scout's Lucian, who forced Corki to buy a small anti-armor.

But as the action of gathering five people to cross the river failed at 7 minutes and 22 seconds, and the auxiliary was killed instead, the situation became a little wrong.

EDG became more and more anxious as the game went on.

AHQ becomes more stable as time goes by.

Compared with the Korean team's operations, EDG's operational ability is not bad, but it cannot rely solely on operations to create a large enough economic gap. As time goes by, the output of Lucian and the special effect flow big mouth becomes weaker and weaker. Even though EDG has always been ahead in kills and equipment, and has better team battle ability, it is ultimately unable to withstand the fully formed AHQ team.

53 minutes 53 seconds.

The six-equipped big worm in the AHQ team who ignored all damage was at the front and led the team to flatten the EDG base.

EDG was labeled as waste.

"I really can't beat him."

"【Holy Lance Baptism】I can't do anything about it, I can't baptize it!"

Wawa shook his head: "I have to say that AHQ played better than EDG in this game, was more patient, and more deserving of this victory."

"AHQ implemented their own lineup's play style, stabilized the situation in the early stage, and successfully completed a reversal in the late stage with the hero advantage." Miller pursed his dry lips and reluctantly uttered three words: "Congratulations to AHQ."

[Too rubbish, a hopeless person, a dragon at home but a worm outside]

[The fight was too cowardly]

[The top and jungle were completely defeated by the opponent, Mouse couldn't beat Ziv, and Zweitzel couldn't beat Laoshan]

[AD is not good either. The big mouth hit so much blood but the big worm didn't use the Ruined King. I won't say more about how bad it is.]

[Everyone underestimated EDG, and EDG did not disappoint everyone]

[Is this our LPL's No. 1 seed? ]

[I'm used to it. When I lost, I didn't feel disappointed, but sympathetic.]

The comments on the League of Legends main forum are relatively neutral.

The two forums known for their aggressiveness, "Anti-Pressure" and "Take the Blame", had very intense language.

[As expected of EDG, no matter how many championships they win in China, they will always be the same in the world championship. Even if the factory manager's name is changed to Xiao7, he is still the useless Mingkai]

【There is something wrong with my thinking】

[AHQ jungler Dashan doesn't even treat Mingkai as a human, and even dares to hit you in the face when he knows you are Shen in the top lane]

[Can I congratulate EDG in advance for their two consecutive losses?]

[Hahahaha, we are in the top 16, SKT next, right? Playing with snakes? Fierce as a tiger in domestic battles, weak as a dog in foreign battles]

【A group of Sima things】

[EDG is awesome, GG as soon as they arrive in a different place]

[Invincible in civil wars, Sima in foreign wars, fight a team and explain why it is EDG]

[4396 is indeed 4396]

[The above ones probably haven't seen the 1400 of the useless Mingkai OB Mantis? ]

[Please stop criticizing EDG, they are just suffering from jet lag]

Faced with the overwhelming verbal attacks and sarcasm, Starch and Piglet were unable to say a word in reply and could only remain silent - with EDG's performance in this game, what will they use to beat SKT, which crushed C9, tomorrow!
There are only six group matches in total.

They lost two games to SKT and one game to AHQ. It is very difficult to qualify...

...

10 month 6 day.

8pm.

In the final battle of the second day, EDG used top lane Rumble, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane Lucian, and bottom lane Xayah + Janna to face the three-time champion SKT's top lane Moltres, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane Clockwork, and bottom lane Twitch + Rakan.

This one.

EDG seemed to have learned their lesson after losing to AHQ. All members woke up and beat SKT the whole time, achieving a 5-0 kill and economic lead in minutes.

After twenty-five minutes, the head-to-head ratio reached 9-0!

According to the commentator, as long as EDG does not make any fatal mistakes, they will surely win the game.

Unthinkable.

SKT's defense is as solid as a wall of steel.

Even though the EDG team was leading by 10,000 in economic advantage and had three Earth Dragons, they organized and pushed forward again and again, but still failed to succeed.

At the 29th minute, EDG was too concentrated when clearing minions in the middle lane, and was hit by Luo's R, flash and W to start a team fight. The big worm's Q [Rupture] and the prince's EQR and Clockwork's ultimate [Command: Shock Wave] exploded at the same time, pulling in the four EDG players except Iboy!

Finished in one wave.

EDG exploded on the spot.

The good situation that we had worked so hard on for nearly half an hour was ruined.

As SKT obtained the Baron and Ancient Dragon and gradually dismantled EDG's buildings, the game finally ended at 44 minutes and 36 seconds.

[Can a 10,000-point lead still be overturned? 】

【It's cold】

[The top 16 is really secure]

[If we lose to C9 tomorrow, Zzitai will be able to go home directly and save some travel expenses]

[Borrow 44 seconds from 60 minutes, the end time is 4396]

[Friendly reminder, don’t go to the bathroom when watching EDG live broadcast, otherwise EDG will be defeated when you come back]

[In one word - cowardly. In the early stage, they just got angry because they lost yesterday. They wanted to play it safe as soon as they had a slight advantage. In the mid-term, the opponent couldn't beat EDG at all, but they didn't dare to start a team fight. They just wanted to drag the game. If they won one wave, they would push the opponent's tower. If SKT won two waves, they would just push you down.]

[I would like to ask, why does economic leadership give us an advantage? ]

The audience complained.

At this moment.

Saying EDG lost to C9 is just derogatory.

Not many people really think that EDG can lose to C9.

——Compared with the SKT team, EDG was able to suppress SKT for at least half an hour and establish an economic lead of 9, while C was beaten like a dog by SKT the whole time and did not even have the strength to fight back.

Unthinkable.

10 month 7 day.

EDG really lost to C9...

"Fuck me!"

Ye Tian looked at the live broadcast and jumped up from the hospital bed: "Damn it, where is my knife?!"
