Chapter 141 The existence of records is meant to be broken!
Chapter 141 The existence of records is meant to be broken!
"Push the base! Push the base and we win!" Miller roared in his voice, expressing his true feelings.
When they saw the T1 main crystal explode into pieces, the Haier Brothers on the LPL commentary desk were extremely excited.
"Congratulations to EDG! They did it!" Wawa waved his fist vigorously at the commentary desk: "They defeated T1 twice in the group stage and firmly sat at the top of Group A. They created history in the LPL region and broke T1's team record!"
"This is the first time in history that an LPL team has won the group and surpassed T1 in the same group to enter the knockout stage!"
"It is also the first time in T1's ten-year history that they have qualified as runner-up in the group stage!"
“T1 claims to be the real elite in LCK, but EDG, as the No. seed in LPL, wants to tell everyone that they are the elite!”
The Haier brothers' voices trembled at the end.
If we had defeated other LCK teams, we wouldn't be so excited.
But this is the T1 of the World Championship, the world championship powerhouse that has brought countless painful memories to all LPL teams!
Obviously, this is just a group match.
But the significance is far more than just a group match.
"YE, the young 18-year-old player, showed extraordinary performance in his first appearance on the world stage. He was not inferior to the legendary mid laner Faker at all, and he can even be regarded as the biggest contributor to the team!"
"I think he has truly proved himself once again, and there is no need for further words!" Wawa continued to praise loudly.
Miller's face flushed with excitement as he listened to his partner's words: "That's right, although the Snowman didn't kill the opponent alone like the first game, it definitely taught everyone a lesson in a special and unique way!"
"And the unlimited rhythm in the mid-term created great pressure on the entire T1 team. He is definitely the key player!"
The live broadcast room was in a frenzy, and this was obviously a result that all LPL viewers had not expected.
The speed at which the barrage of comments refreshed the screen was so fast that it even caused the live broadcast room to freeze for a short time!
[Wow, T1 actually managed to get second place in the group! ]
[If you told me before the World Championship that EDG had double-killed T1, I would have thought it was a lie. Wouldn’t this year be the most promising year again? ? ]
[I heard that T1 will definitely win first place in the group stage? That’s it! ]
[The world of Lao Deng has ended, now is the era of Xiao Deng! ]
[Not to mention anything else, just double-killing T1 in the group stage, no EDG mid laner in history has ever been able to do that! Changing the mid laner is definitely the most correct decision EDG has made this year! ]
The director's camera was focused on the EDG players who were celebrating next to the players' seats.
Ye Bo, who had not yet immediately broken away from the game content he was concentrating on, was still looking at the damage he had done in this game before taking off his headphones.
22000 is not bad.
Immediately afterwards, four teammates rushed over, clapped and hugged him, and almost knocked the headphone wires off.
Ye Bo was about to speak when he saw Jie Jie raising his arms and shouting something incomprehensible.
Not only that, the same goes for Soft Liar, Meiko, and even the usually calm Viper.
Ye Bo could feel that everyone seemed to be venting.
Even in last year's peak championship year, EDG failed to truly defeat T1 in the group stage, and was still reversed by two consecutive wins in the second round.
Not to mention the humiliating history that preceded it.
But this year, they finally did it!
why?
Is it because T1 has become weaker this year?
The top laner was changed from Canna to Zeus. Could it be that T1 has become weaker?
It may even just become stronger.
Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see that this can only be because EDG has become stronger this year, and not just a little bit stronger, the magnitude of which is even higher than T1!
The only person EDG replaced was the mid laner.
"Master Ye, we two are really amazing!" Jiejie couldn't stop laughing. "This big snowball directly knocked the other side unconscious. Even I was dumbfounded!"
"I told you we can definitely win~" Ye Bo replied with a cheerful look on his face.
"I said what I said before the game was not trash talk." Viper suddenly said this, making everyone laugh.
"Master Ye is awesome!" Saint Spear put his arm around his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I can feel how miserable Zeus is through the screen. He must be really unwilling to accept this. Haha!"
Jayce in the first game and Shen in this game were first targeted by BP and then continuously taken care of by the mid lane.
The opponent just felt like he was not facing one person at all!
"Let's go, let's go fist-bump!" Meiko called on everyone to quickly find the T1 players to fist-bump, and then cross the stage together.
Although T1 had a large number of fans at the scene, EDG was not far behind.
The scene is always the easiest place to be moved by wonderful performances. At this moment, the vast majority of the audience sincerely cheer and applaud for the winners who have brought wonderful performances!
The T1 player seat was obviously a little quiet.
Zeus just lowered his head and quietly packed up his keyboard and mouse. After all, as the youngest person, he couldn't taste the taste of failure in his first world competition. It was all a new experience.
Oner had a blank expression on his face, looking as if he had not yet successfully reconnected to the main brain.
As for Gumayusi, he looked a little dazed.
No, why was I defeated again?
It’s okay that we couldn’t defend against Ahri in the first game.
In this game, Nunu can actually beat a wheel mother like this! ?
Just recalling the scene where he was ganked, Gumayusi's thoughts became confused, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Bo was not right.
Plus, this guy likes to say some pretentious words before the game, so it was a bit embarrassing to watch the boomerang flying back at the scene.
Keria has always been the one who reveals her emotions most easily, and now she is holding her head in her hands as if she doesn't want to face it.
In comparison, Li Xianghe's mentality is really stable.
"It's alright kids."
"This is just the beginning of the world competition, so we just need to work harder later."
This is just a group match after all.
Lee Sang-hyuk's career is too long and he has experienced enough ups and downs. This defeat is nothing to him.
He had experienced countless defeats, far more painful than the one he was experiencing now.
There was still not much communication during this handshake.
However, Li Xianghe seemed to be staring into Ye Bo's eyes.
Ye Bo inadvertently looked up and noticed the other person's eyes, so he stared into the other person's eyes - and then showed his signature bright smile.
Li Xianghe was stunned for a moment.
Then, he nodded at him.
In this round of fist bumps, the other four EDG players were obviously more powerful and direct compared to the first round.
"In fact, it's not unacceptable to be second in the group," the roaring emperor on the LCK commentary desk was trying to comfort fans: "The World Championship is a long journey, and whoever has a better learning ability will be able to catch up later!"
"That's right," T1's Wolf also quickly defended the home team: "T1 has enough honors and records. A title of first place in the group stage is no big deal."
"The next step is to enter the BO5, which is where T1 excels! We have to trust them!"
Compared to the LCK commentary desk's strong defense.
The unbiased European and American commentary desk at the scene highlighted the true feelings.
"After the injection of fresh blood, the Eastern Black and White Knights have become even stronger than they were last year!"
"YE, this talented mid laner from the LPL region has successfully used the match against Faker as his own stage!"
"YE is the protagonist today, not Faker!"
“I can only say that I am really looking forward to their next BO5 performance after the quarterfinals.”
The European and American commentary stations have a first-class ability to mobilize the atmosphere on the scene and instantly ignite the scene.
However, Ye Bo could not hear clearly the long string of words from the live commentary that were comparable to the English listening test in the college entrance examination. He just thought it was the enthusiasm of the audience and waved happily to the people below.
This was followed by an interview session with the organizers on site.
Ye Bo received the invitation again.
His teammates brought the peripherals back and he returned to the center of the stage.
"Let's welcome contestant YE to be interviewed!"
Sjokz shouted to the people below, which triggered particularly enthusiastic applause and cheers!
There were even many people shouting Ye Bo's ID, which really gave him a taste of home court treatment.
Sjokz began the interview with a smile: "Congratulations to EDG for successfully winning the first place in the group stage and breaking the record of the two teams' history. How does YE feel now?"
Ye Bo took the microphone and spoke slowly.
"Of course I'm very happy! As for breaking records, records are meant to be broken."
"I think we will break more records in this world competition!"
Ye Bo thought for a moment and added, "But the victory in the group stage is just the beginning. We won't get complacent and will continue to work hard!"
The translator conveyed the English interpretation to the audience, which immediately triggered howls and laughter from the European and American audiences.
Sjokz also smiled at the other party's natural honesty and continued to ask questions.
"So, regarding Nunu mid lane, and the mid lane Pike in the last game, I think this is a question that everyone is very curious about." "I want to know how you, YE, pay attention to and develop these special heroes? After all, we all know that professional players usually have a lot of content to practice. How do you have so much energy to practice these heroes?"
Ye Bo raised the microphone again and spoke his true feelings: "This should be considered a hobby of mine."
"Researching and developing these heroes is a form of leisure and entertainment for me, so of course I have a lot of time to research~"
“I really enjoy playing League of Legends!”
"Also, League of Legends now has nearly 160 heroes. I feel like what I know is far from enough. Each hero has his or her own shining points. I hope I can try more heroes in the future!"
The translator conveys the message again.
That simple sentence, “I really like League of Legends,” seemed to resonate with a lot of people right away.
Those who can buy tickets and come to watch the game in person must be fans of the league.
But from the tone and expression in Ye Bo's voice when he said this, they could only feel two words.
Pure and passionate.
Sjokz waited for the cheers to die down before continuing to ask: "Then the more brutal quarterfinals will begin. What do you think of your future and the opponents you may face?"
Faced with this question, Ye Bo answered without hesitation.
"To win the championship, we must defeat every opponent, so who the opponent is will not affect our goal!"
"Of course, I have to say that it is better to avoid internal conflicts as much as possible. I am more looking forward to playing against more players, so that I can learn more different things."
"No matter who our opponent is in the quarterfinals, we EDG will have enough confidence to win the game!"
The scene was once again filled with thunderous applause.
After waving goodbye to the enthusiastic audience in Madison Square Garden and returning the microphone, Ye Bo quickly returned to the lounge.
No one was in a hurry to leave, waiting for the drawing ceremony to begin on site.
However, the on-site procedures still need to be followed and the site needs to be rearranged.
During this waiting time, Ye Bo also turned on his mobile phone.
I sent a message to my mom and dad first, and then replied to the congratulatory messages from my friends.
Then I opened the forum casually.
Although the competition just ended a while ago, the lively atmosphere on the Internet has already begun to ferment, and homepages everywhere are full of related topic posts.
[Speaking frankly, is there anyone who understands this, please give me some comments, just discussing strength, what is the current level of Ip Man? ]
[Not high, probably the best in Tianjin]
[At least he is the best domestic player in the league. The last person who was compared with him has probably already swam to the Pacific Ocean.]
[He can even replay famous scenes in the World Championship. What a great heart! This alone is something that those old Bidens can't compare to! ]
[Indeed, Chunchun is a tough guy in the competition! ]
[This is our LPL's new generation mid laner, with many unique skills, a deep hero pool, strong operation, and he can even be a coach! He is so versatile! ]
[Could it be that the hope for domestic mid laners is really coming? 】
Looking at the praises from netizens, Ye Bo's mouth curled up wildly.
But it’s just a few floors below the post.
After losing the game, even Faker received a lot of criticism.
【Big fly! Big fly! Big fly! 】
[You couldn't even beat a new player in two games. I don't know why you haven't retired yet. You are a disgrace to LCK! ]
[I don’t want to talk about the mid lane gap, but this is the fact! ]
【Lian Po is old, can he still eat? 】
[Little Lu Bu, this Nunu is not worse than Leblanc, right? I raised him~]
[Fei Fei really has special privileges. He was still given five points for being invisible in two games. Even the Koreans didn’t criticize him as harshly as they did! ]
Someone posted a screenshot of the repost from the Korean website below.
Ye Bo finally realized that netizens all over the world are really the same. They praise others to the sky when they win and criticize them when they lose.
Even Faker, who has the highest honor, is no exception.
It is obvious that public opinion on the Korean Internet is completely one-sided, which is in stark contrast to the jubilation after the end of the group stage a few days ago.
[That’s enough. Anyone with a discerning eye knows how weak T1 is now. In the playoffs, they almost couldn’t even beat DK without Niu Guli, and were swept by GEN.G in the finals. What’s there to brag about in winning? ]
[To be fair, T1 is the weakest Korean team this year, and can only sit at the same table with DRX at most]
[That’s right, beating T1 doesn’t mean LPL is stronger than LCK. TES, the second seed, couldn’t beat our fourth seed. RNG even stumbled against DK, who we had players. GEN.G is completely invincible! ]
[Hehe, the three-time champion was demoted to the worst representative team of LCK. It was just a group match. It’s not like we didn’t qualify, right? ]
[Everyone said EDG accidentally entered the death group, but I didn’t expect them to be the god of death, hehe~]
[Just wait! T1 will definitely make it all the way to the finals. If EDG has the guts, they can get into the finals and have another fight! ]
[So can you please put some restrictions on YE? Why can this guy dominate the opponent no matter which hero he plays? Is this fair or not? ]
[Tsk, you just want to bully the old man. Wait! Xiu Shen and Chao Wei will take action! ]
The distribution of fans within LCK is very extreme, basically divided into T1 fans and fans of other teams.
The prevalence of Korean fan culture has directly led to hostility between supporters of different teams!
The fan groups of several other teams are hoping for the collapse of T1. Seeing the triple crown champion who was highly praised before the game being defeated, they are just about to open champagne in the forum and shout "Good death".
It is difficult for Ye Bo to comment on these remarks.
After all, he has only played against T1 and has not played against other Korean teams, so he has no say.
But if he were to say, he did feel that winning T1 was a much smoother process than he had imagined.
Among these, the most important reason is that one is better prepared than the opponent.
But T1 seems to still be in the exploratory process and does not seem to have been able to exert its full strength yet.
The two teams had played a training match before, and Ye Bo was also very clear that the other four players except Faker were also good in operation and hard power, but they did not have room to perform in these two games.
Ye Bo opened Bilibili out of boredom.
Unexpectedly, I immediately saw the post-match loser interview clip of T1 that had just been uploaded.
Facing reporters' questions about the first round loss.
Li Xianghe replied calmly without changing his expression: "It's a pity to lose the game, but the main reason for the defeat is that our team has many problems that need to be improved."
This South Korean reporter is simply like Cybertron Madam Rong, and continued to ask a heart-wrenching question.
"T1's record was broken. They always qualified as the first in their group in every World Championship before, but unfortunately they lost this time. Will this have any impact on the mentality of their teammates?"
Li Xianghe's expression remained unchanged: "Records are created. T1 is the creator of records and will create new records."
"We are confident about the schedule ahead. The results of the group stage will not affect the subsequent games."
The reporter then asked another question: "So regarding this match with EDG, are there any players that you find impressive or particularly noteworthy?"
This is a question that Korean journalists like to ask.
And especially likes to ask when T1 loses the game
Lee Sang-hyeok’s answer has always been, “There is no opponent that particularly impressed me. The losses were all our own fault.”
This can be said to be "pretending" and "being tough", but it is actually true.
After all, over the years, from the old IDs such as Ambition, Pawm, and Crown, to the later Rooike, Doinb, ShowMaker, Scout, and now Chovy, Kinght
He has defeated so many talented players that it is really hard to make a deep impression on him.
But Lee Sang-hyuk thought about it.
He discovered that there was indeed a person from the previous game who lingered in his mind.
"The opponent's mid laner. I hope we can have a chance to play against each other again in this World Championship."
"The next victory will belong to T1."
Li Xianghe finished speaking calmly, his eyes still staring straight at the camera, as if they were conducting some kind of eye contact from a distance.
His eyes seemed full of fighting spirit.
This look might seem nothing to other people, but Ye Bo felt it was somewhat familiar.
I just saw it when we shook hands.
But Ye Bo actually had similar ideas.
The result of defeating T1 seems easy, but in fact, everything that happened in the process was quite dangerous, especially the several waves of carefully designed ambushes were discovered and then used against by the opponent.
Ye Bo felt that he benefited a lot from the game and confrontation.
It’s a pity that the draw has a mechanism for “avoiding the same group half”.
This also means.
If the two sides meet again in this S12 competition, they can only meet on the final stage of the finals.
The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals has already begun on the live broadcast.
