Chapter 131: 55-, I often kill him alone

Chapter 131 It's a - match. I often kill him alone.
"We won the first battle! The LPL region's first appearance in the S12 World Championship ended with a resounding victory!" Miller, who was a little tired in the domestic live broadcast room, suddenly woke up.

Guan Zeyuan said in a high voice: "Although it is early morning in China, I think this match should be worthwhile for everyone to get up early! It is worthy of being our number one seed!"

"I hope that our other LPL teams can cheer together today and win three games in a row!"

In the camera shot, the young men in the EDG player seat stood up and hugged each other, celebrating their first victory in the world championship journey.

The moment he took off his headphones, Ye Bo listened to the thunderous applause in the opera house and felt refreshed!

There were many North American enthusiasts holding up "TSM" cheering signs who had not even attended this world championship. They all spontaneously shouted EDG's team name at this time.

Some even shouted Ye Bo's ID.

G2 is a European team, and the North American audiences were so happy to see Europe getting beaten.

And this game can be said to be an eye-opener for them.

EDG did not make it to MSI this year, and foreign audiences still have the impression of them from last year in Iceland.

This absolutely crushing victory successfully made the host audience remember this team again and remember that they are the defending champions!

"EDG presented everyone with a textbook way to win in the world game!" Ou Cheng said seriously on the commentary desk: "To be honest, I have never seen their system this year."

Although Ou Cheng and A P failed to enter the world championship, they have long passed the peak of their careers.

But as an active player, he is naturally very familiar with the changes in this year's version.

The two compared EDG in their minds with the team that had previously appeared in the World Finals, and they clearly felt there were significant differences.

It seems like it's just a simple matter of taking the line control in the bottom lane, invading the jungle to get the little dragon, and then getting a single kill and operations.

But in fact, it can be seen from the fact that G2 could not find any counterattack point in their lineup throughout the game and was suppressed the entire time.

They were obviously in the game and were under suppression that was difficult for bystanders to feel firsthand!
In previous years of LPL, the label was basically to fight to the death. Fight when there is a chance, and create opportunities to force you to fight when there is no chance!

Either you die or I die!

In addition, there is another extreme example, which is to only play defense like a turtle and wait for the C position's absolute core equipment to be formed before engaging in the battle.

EDG seems to have integrated these two styles into one.

With offense and operations, G2 was completely restrained from the lineup end, and they couldn't find any chance to even try to counterattack.

If you still go to fight a team that you obviously cannot defeat, then that is not being cowardly, that is giving away the opportunity!
Rekkles couldn't help but sigh: "This EDG is so strong"

Ah P's expression changed again and he leaned back.

"Oh~ Actually I guessed it. I still can't do it without Caps. The bottom lane is not stable at all~"

"But I never thought of that magic trick when YE turned around and interrupted. That must have made Caps wrinkle, haha!"

Ye Bo, who was sitting in the player's seat, heard the commentator reading out his ID and subconsciously looked up.

When he saw the camera beside him pointing at him, he naturally made a "yeah" hand gesture and looked at the camera with a bright smile.

When this scene appeared on the big screen at the scene, it immediately aroused a wave of noisy noise!
The director cut the screen to the G2 player seat on the other side of the stage.

Caps pursed his lips, and you could tell from his expression that he was in pain.

He usually says he’s optimistic, but to say he came all the way to Los Angeles not to win is simply lying to himself!
The optimism that can determine whether you win or not is called optimism.

Optimism that has no chance of winning is called "only optimism".

Moreover, he could understand the language of the live commentary desk, and listening to the objective comments from the commentary desk, he suddenly felt even more depressed.

"G2 had a bad start. They were beaten so badly in the death group. The situation for qualifying is not optimistic."

"I hope they can adjust well. Time is running out for G2. I hope G2 can show some of their potential as a European dynasty!"

Normally this would only be the first game of the group stage and the outlook wouldn’t seem so bleak.

But this is Group A!
EDG and T1 are like two big mountains in Group A.

Such a crushing defeat in a head-to-head match against one of their competitors not only proves that G2's form this year is really poor, but it is also understandable that the commentators would make such a comment.

The EDG members put on masks and went to the other side of the stage to fist bump with their opponents.

Caps looked at the strange and young face in front of him and could only sigh in his heart.

I was born in 99, but when I look at him, I suddenly feel like I am already a little too old in this arena.
This newcomer named YE left a very deep impression on him.

The opponent's meticulousness in details, swiftness in attack, and terrifying operation were all putting him under tremendous pressure!

The main reason was that he always felt that the opponent would come up with unexpected angles from time to time, which caused Caps to feel nervous when laning.

Caps praised sincerely while fist bumping: "Very powerful, especially the wave that interrupted my operation, hope again"

Caps, who was also wearing a mask, didn't sound clear enough.

Ye Bo's English grades are not very ideal either.

He could only say in a very serious tone: "Oh yes yes, good good!"

This cross-server communication was inexplicably on the same frequency.

After the two sides fist-bumped, the EDG members came to the center of the stage, linked their arms and bowed to the audience.

The North American guys in the audience and the domestic audience who came from afar were extremely enthusiastic. They beat their cheering sticks vigorously, and there were occasional whistles from time to time.

When he stepped down from the stage, Ye Bo saw Ming Kai waiting for him with the microphone in hand, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Xiao Yebo is in great form! He even stood at attention for the cap. Well done!"

"But your mentality is really great. I was worried that you might be nervous during your first world competition."

Mingkai and Meiko were both secretly happy about Ye Bo beating Caps.

After all, in the quarterfinals of S8 that year, EDG was sniped outside the quarterfinals by FNC led by Caps and Rekkles with a 3-1 victory!
Although Mingkai was no longer in the first-tier field at that time, he was still on the roster, and somehow he added a quarterfinal title to his resume!
I, Mingkai, am so wronged!
"The interviews here in North America are not scripted in advance, and the questions they ask are quite direct. Well, just do what you want!"

Mingkai originally wanted to give some more instructions, but thinking that the PR department couldn't reach here on the other side of the ocean, he, who loves trash talk, decided to just give in this time.

Of course, the main thing is that even if you give instructions, it’s useless.

Before he could even open his mouth, Jie Jie took over Ye Bo's peripherals, and the four of them returned to the backstage first.

The female host sjokz trotted over, exchanged a smile with Ye Bo, and then they walked back to the center of the stage together.

"Welcome to our guest interview! YE, the mid laner from EDG team!"

As soon as these words were spoken, noisy cheers broke out at the scene!

Ye Bo was somewhat flattered by the scene.

He originally thought that the excitement at the end of the game was because his team was the defending champion last year and he was just benefiting from the team's success.

But I didn't expect that when I was the only one left at the scene, the atmosphere off the field became even more lively and enthusiastic!
Ye Bo underestimated his popularity abroad.

What people in foreign countries remember most is not the champion of each year, but those who left behind famous scenes and deeds that are talked about with relish, which are easier for them to remember.

For example, a survey conducted by ESPN, a well-known foreign e-sports media, found that the most famous Chinese players in overseas competitions are Wei Xiao, UZI, and Mingkai.
And the many "highlight-level" operations that Ye Bo performed in the LPL arena are simply incredible to ordinary foreign audiences!
"Wo~~ It seems that contestant YE has quite a few fans at the event! Can you say hello to everyone in English?"

Ye Bo has never been afraid of the stage and he raised the microphone confidently.

"Ha meat, Ivy Barty!"

Although it is extremely non-standard spoken language and speech.

But combined with this inexplicably confident tone and volume, it actually creates a completely different atmosphere.

Naturally, no one at the scene cared about grammar, there was just a louder wave of cheers.

Sjokz started the interview with a smile: "This game is the opening match and also your first world championship. Did you expect to win in such an easy way before the game?"

After listening to the translation, Ye Bo nodded decisively without hesitation.

"Of course. As the No. 1 seed in the LPL region, it should be natural for us to beat the No. 2 seeds in other regions. There shouldn't be any difficulty!"

"Besides, my teammates are all world champions, they are all very good. Oh, of course, I am also very good!"

sjokz laughed in silence, but quickly agreed: "That's for sure. After all, YE won the first MVP of the group stage in the first game. He is really amazing!"

[Master Ye was stunned by this group of foreigners, pure succubus attribute! ]

[Reposted from DYS: What the hell does YE mean! Who is he hinting at? It’s only natural that number one wins over number two, right? ? ]

[The baldy guy just wants to say that T1 captures EDG every day but is afraid of being attacked, so he doesn't even dare to speak the truth! Coward! No wonder the hat belongs to the green sei! ]

[Hehe, I'm so annoyed by playing against a European and American guy. What kind of lineup does G2 have this year? What's so great about winning this game? ]

[Laughing, anyway, I have already anticipated the words of these filial sons in the future: {It’s a pain to play against T1 in the group stage}, {Everyone knows that T1 is powerful in BO5}, {It’s a pain to play against old Dafei} → You can’t even beat old Dafei! Just be thankful that someone helped EDG to solve T1 last year and directly confiscated your championship! ]

[Fuck, you've said everything Chuanzi said, what else does Chuanzi have to say? ]

The barrage of comments will start to quarrel as soon as there is a disagreement, as if as long as the discussion involves popular teams, it will explode.

But it does not affect the scene.

sjokz continued the interview, asking some fairly routine questions.

There was a question about "What is your favorite food after being in Los Angeles for so many days?"

Ye Bo thought for a long time, and finally answered honestly: "Boxed Lunch".

There was no way. Although the quarantine had ended, Ye Bo and the EDG members did not dare to walk out of the hotel and stroll around the streets.

In addition to worrying about getting infected, the main concern is insecurity.

When I think about the days I’ve been in New York, I often hear “biubiubiu” sounds coming from the busy downtown streets downstairs in the middle of the night, which is really scary.

Sjokz smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "So what are your prospects for grades?"

Ye Bo once again answered truthfully and affirmatively.

"Of course, he wants to get back the trophy we returned an hour ago!"

"I said one thing before I came here. As the mid laner of EDG, I will protect everything of EDG!"

After listening to the translation on the spot, the foreigners who heard these words for the first time burst into screams again.

Perhaps because of cultural differences, foreign countries do not recognize the "culture of humility". Instead, they admire the extreme arrogance of self-confidence.

Sjokz also smiled again and asked the last question. "Then last question."

"Regarding your biggest competitor T1 in Group A, what do you think of them?"

"Or, do you have the confidence to beat them in the next group stage? Especially regarding your matchup with Faker."

The rustling sounds at the scene suddenly subsided.

The audience, waving the T1 team flag and warming up for the next BO1, pricked up their ears, curious about the answer to this question.

Ye Bo thought about this issue seriously.

Then he gave the real answer.

"Because I haven't officially played against him on the field, I can't make any comments yet, but I am confident!"

"We've had a training match, so let's just go with 50-50."

"Faker, I often solo kill him too!"

Ye Bo really didn't lie.

The relationship between the two clubs EDG and T1 has always been good. After all, they often "purchase goods" from each other's youth training camps. Now there is a mid laner with a name starting with F and ending with r on the second team.

In addition, Ye Bo and Li Xianghe had communicated several times before, and they had mentioned it so naturally and arranged a training match.

Of course, that was around the playoffs.

Ye Bo took the initiative to use Yongen to cooperate with Saint Spear to practice laning, and it was also because of this - because in that training match, Zeus's Yongen killed Saint Spear in the laning phase.

And when the world championship version is finalized, the two sides will soon become rivals.

Especially since the group draw resulted in the same group, it is naturally impossible to make another appointment. The previous versions were too different and there is not much reference value.

When we finished the interview and returned to the sidelines, the venue for the next game had already begun to be set up, and the large electronic screen at the back had been replaced with the team flags of T1 and DFM.

Ye Bo returned to the room, where his teammates were laughing and playing.

"Master Ye is back! Ask Master Ye to judge for sure. Don't you think it's unreasonable that Brother Qiang is ranked higher than me?" Jiejie jumped up and laughed.

"What, what ranking?"

Saint Spear Brother explained: "Oh, it's our own TOP20 selection in China, and this guy is not convinced~"

Ye Bo took the phone and took a look at it before he understood.

The so-called "TOP20" selection mentioned by the European and American commentators on the scene was actually released by Riot officially in previous years.

The so-called "Officially Certified No. 1 XXX" comes from this list.

However, since this list has never been guessed correctly, and the higher the ranking, the more miserable the death every year, it is also called the "Poisonous Prediction List."

Later, due to the huge controversy, Riot Games stopped producing and publishing this list after S8.

Instead, it is run by well-known domestic and foreign e-sports media.

This year's domestic rankings were determined by player voting conducted by the LPL official using "League of Legends on Palm".

"I'm ranked seventh, and Saint Spear is ranked sixth!" Jie Jie said angrily, "It must be because of his comments on Weibo that he attracted the votes of the online players! I'm so anxious, I'm so anxious!"

Meiko laughed and teased: "You don't treat me as a human being, right? I'm ranked eighth, what did I say?"

Saint Spear Brother crossed his legs and deliberately acted very proud.

"Hey, Jie, you can't think like that." Ye Bo comforted him without even raising his head.

"You want to know why you are ranked seventh? It's because netizens think you can take over the mantle of the big factory manager, so they voted for you to be ranked seventh!"

When Jiejie heard this, he felt comforted at first, but suddenly he felt something was wrong: "That's not right! Master Ye, you scolded me too!"

"? Zhao Lijie, what do you mean?"

"Um, Director, what I mean is that seventh place is too high. How can I take over your mantle while you are still here?"

When Ye Bo looked through the list, he also found that there were indeed big differences in the judgment of team strength at home and abroad.

For example, all members of T1 are ranked outside the top ten in foreign rankings, but are almost all ranked within the top ten in domestic rankings, as if this team has an extra bonus in the hearts of LPL viewers.

"What about me?"

Ye Bo turned back for a long time but still couldn't turn over to himself.

Jiejie leaned over and was speechless: "If it wasn't Master Ye, why would you want to flip over?"

"Where else can you rank? Scroll all the way down!"

Ye Bo scrolled down the list and saw his own avatar at the very bottom.

With more than 10000 votes, it ranked second!

The third place is Samsung's mid laner Chovy, with more than 9000 votes, perhaps because of his impressive performance in suppressing Faker in the regional finals.

As for the first place, there is obviously no need to say more.

Faker, who ranked 19th in the foreign list and almost fell off the list, is far ahead of everyone in the domestic list with more than 20000 votes!

"Hey, let me tell you, Feifei's first place is definitely due to off-field factors. Judging from the performance this season alone, Master Ye is clearly the first. These netizens are really..."

Jiejie complained somewhat indignantly.

Ye Bo was very happy. After all, compared with the foreign rankings, he had improved by ten places.

"Okay, okay, they've started the game."

Everyone was originally planning to return to the hotel directly after the game, but while waiting for Ye Bo to come back from the interview, T1's game just started, so they simply insisted on watching the game in the backstage wearing masks.

Obviously, they also attach great importance to this game.

T1 vs. DFM, another group match of S11.

As the only hope of the Japanese division, DFM made it to the group stage for two consecutive years. As a result, they ran into T1 and EDG in the group stage for two consecutive years!

Of course, the EDG players didn't expect to find out any secret weapons from the opponent through this game.

As long as you can see some clues about BP or the focus of tactics, you will make a lot of money.

But it turned out that I was overthinking it.

The opponent's hard power was too weak. From the beginning of BP, Ye Bo felt that T1's BP was too weird.

It is almost exactly the same BP structure as in the summer season. It can be said that there is no change at all. It is as if it has not kept up with the world game version.

If it were another team, they would definitely think that the other team did not fully understand the version.

But this is T1.

The greater possibility is that the other party is releasing the sea, or hiding tactics!

This brings us to the fact that there is indeed a certain degree of luck involved in the lottery ranking.

Because of G2's reputation, even if EDG is only the second seed in Europe this year, they must put all their energy into the game - but they didn't expect that their lineup this year would be so vulnerable!
And DFM can only mean that there is a certain level of strength, but not much.

From the beginning of the game, T1 showed its laning advantage in all lanes.

Zeus didn't know if it was because of the blurry glasses, but he might have mistaken the three letters EVi, the ID of the other top laner, as three numbers.

Choose Jayce, the hammer in his hand is like a Hextech whip, and he can whip the opponent like a spinning top and send him flying into the sky!

The gap in strength was already apparent after three minutes of laning, and the first TP was triggered after five minutes. It was a visible gap in strength.

Oner seemed to have transformed into the master of the field. The rhythm of the whole game was extremely explosive, and it seemed that he could always appear in the place where he should be.

The blind man's operation is smooth and silky, and you can catch whatever you go!

Even Faker is the most “invisible” one!

Of course, the so-called invisibility just means no single kill, but the Tsar, whose laning ability was weakened, was still able to overwhelm the Colonel in the middle lane.

"If they are not throwing smoke bombs, it seems that the Tsar's priority is still not low." Ye Bo was still scribbling on his notebook.

This game was not worth reviewing, so the EDG players patiently watched it to the end and then got up and returned to the hotel.

And at the same time.

The main event at Madison Square Garden Theater is still in full swing.

On the first day, a total of three LPL teams competed. Except for Group D where RNG was located, TES and JDG both competed.

JDG's first opponent is LCK's No. 1 seed GEN.G.

As the third seed of LPL, they are facing the biggest opponent in the group, so everyone does not have too high expectations for them.

Samsung's first game really showed the strength of the number one seed. Chovy turned into a development demon and had a terrifying 30 hits in 360 minutes!

In 35 minutes, Samsung slowly but surely won the game with a score of 19-4.

If the first game was harmless.

Then in the second game, TES, which everyone had high hopes for, gave everyone a big surprise!
There is no other reason.

Because TES was defeated miserably by the European team, and was abused by a score of 18 to 6!

I originally thought it was a good start————I never expected that it would only be one win!
[Toothpaste is really a pure idiot! Stop being an idiot, Toothpaste! Choose your invincible Tsar! ]

[Squeeze toothpaste with your left hand! Brush with your right hand! ]

[Top Esports is really invincible. They can even lose to North America? Go sit at the same table with RNG! ]

[? Don’t be so embarrassing, RNG lost to Japan! After all, Top Esports lost to North America, how can it be as embarrassing as losing to a wildcard team like Japan? ]

[Master Ye is right! The European No. 1 seed beat our No. 2 seed, and the Korean No. 1 seed beat our No. 3 seed. There is no problem with the strict hierarchy! ]

[Hehe, if EDG loses again, I feel like LPL can go home early again this year~]

[Seriously? I want to Xiao. With Da Fei's current state, Ye Wen can easily knock Da Fei out! ]
