Chapter 164 The most aggressive domestic midfielder in history! "Years of hard work on the stag
Chapter 164 The most aggressive Chinese midfielder in history! "Ten years of hard work on stage!"
With the canyon time standing still.
The noise created by tens of thousands of spectators shouting in unison was so loud that it almost blew the roof off and soared into the sky!
"Chovy finally TP'd towards the opponent's bottom lane second tower, but this desperate counterattack could not stop EDG from destroying their crystal hub!"
"This is a battle between the No. 1 seeds of LPL and LCK! In the end, it is us LPL who have the last laugh!!"
The spotlights dispersed and gathered, and in an instant they all focused on the EDG player seat.
The special effect of the crystal breaking appeared in the back, transforming into a golden logo with wings of victory, and thunderous cheers came over the area!
"After four seasons, EDG is back on the finals stage again!" Miller's chest rose and fell violently: "As the only seedling in the region, they have once again become the last ray of hope!"
"They advanced to the S12 finals with a score of -!" Wawagang shouted in an exciting tone.
But suddenly I realized that something seemed to be missing.
"Brother Guan, why don't you speak?"
Guan Zeyuan paused for a moment and then forced a smile: "Congratulations to EDG! We made it to the finals with a score of 3-0!"
After saying this, he quickly added the information he had collected before the game.
"It is worth mentioning that after this game, EDG will become the fourth "champion team to reach the finals for two consecutive years" in history - and also the first team in our LPL region to achieve this achievement!"
“Just like when they qualified as the first in the group stage and defeated T1, every step they take in this world championship continues to create new historical records!”
"Championship Curse" has always been the annual topic in the league world.
Among the previous 11 championship teams, only three were able to reach the finals for two consecutive years.
SKT, SSG, DK.
Without exception, they are all LCK teams.
Moreover, the first two teams are actually ancient memories that have been renamed and rebuilt. The closest one is DK last year and the year before, which is only one step away.
Now, EDG has become the fourth team!
The entire screen was filled with cheers and celebrations.
[One at a time, three at a time! The real skewers king! ]
[Master Ye's last move as the bomb boy was really cool! 】
[Queshi, this wave of European steps "Be Yourself in the Fire" is definitely a famous scene! 】
[Super Power is pure output! How can he still think about TP to last hit in the last wave? Is this our legendary No. 1 genius mid laner in LCK? ]
[Congratulations to Chao Wei! He has made a historic breakthrough! He has finally added a bold stroke to his resume—his first semifinal! He has successfully changed 8888 to 88884!]
Following the director's camera, I looked towards the EDG player seat.
Everyone's cheeks flushed red, filled with the excitement and excitement that had been suppressed for three games.
There was even a sense of long-lost comfort and satisfaction!
No matter how many times you enter the World Championship, there are only a few opportunities to stand on this stage every year, and it will still make you excited no matter how many times you enter.
And because the four EDG players did not arrive at the scene in the previous game, this moment seemed like a lifetime ago.
It seemed as if the previous quarterfinal stage was a little "unreal".
"EDG!"
"EDG!!"
"EDG!!!"
The audience seats have already burst into cheers, and the cheers are echoing endlessly in Atlanta!
Everyone stood up and walked towards the contestant seats opposite.
"GEN is the third LCK team to fall to EDG in this S-League after T1 and DK... Who's next?!"
"YE and jiejie's best mid-jungle combination crushed LCK's No. 7 mid-jungle! Jiejie helped the team's senior Clearlove take revenge on his old rival Peanut."
"And YE! This is already the third LCK mid laner he has defeated head-on!"
"He is proving with facts that even the No. 1 seed mid laner in LCK cannot stop his invasion in the canyon!"
"LPL's last hope showed its edge in the semi-finals and broke through the LCK's encirclement, and is about to take the final step on the stage!"
The official European and American commentators on site filled the venue with their passionate voices.
Jie Jie shook Ye Bo's shoulders excitedly: "Listen! Master Ye is praising us!"
"Hmm? You can understand it." Ye Bo asked curiously.
"I don't understand! But judging from the tone and ID, he should be praising me. You didn't hear him even saying the factory manager's name~~"
"Hey, Jiejie, what you said is not right. If you didn't say the factory director's name, it might really be a compliment, but after saying the factory director's name, it's hard to say."
"oO It seems, it really is!"
As the EDG players walked to the opposite player seat with laughter.
The director finally decided to switch the camera to include the losers.
The loneliness of the five losers was even stronger than that of DK in the quarterfinals!
After all, although DK was the runner-up last year, everyone knows that DK, whose bottom lane replaced the top lane this year and whose form has declined, is far from their peak form, otherwise they would not be just a third seed.
In comparison, GEN, as the pride of the LCK region that has been anticipated for a whole year, is definitely the one everyone expected before the game!
The more expectations you carry, the more backlash you will suffer when you face failure.
Chidi's eyes were full of unwillingness.
As the loser of this game, SVP resolutely chose the anti-version Xia in the last game. His performance was not only remarkable, but it can even be said that he almost found a glimmer of opportunity for the team.
But he didn't expect that that opportunity would become a bayonet that completely tore the gap for the opponent in an instant!
"Xiba."
Emperor Chi was really a little unconvinced.
This is totally inconsistent with his expectations for himself this year!
In fact, Ruler, who is entering his seventh year of professional career, only won his first league championship this year.
He originally thought that with Chovy, the king of league civil wars, in charge this year, and teaming up with this teammate who is considered the strongest mid laner in his career, this GEN should be able to surpass the peak of SSG!
For this reason, Chidi is full of confidence and wants to show his strength in this World Championship, sprint for the second Summoner's Cup in his career, and become the number one in position history!
Can bear fruit.
Outsiders might think that the jungler suffered the most in these three games, but insiders knew very well that in this semi-final match, it was the mid laner who was highly expected who dragged the whole team down the most!
Frankly speaking, Chidi's mentality is a little broken.
Although he is considered a veteran in the GEN team, he has a high status among the players.
However, from the previous relationship between the backstage and the coach, it can be seen that e-sports players do not have any privileges in the LCK team. To put it bluntly, they are simply "tools."
No matter what kind of veteran you are, don’t say you are a one-champion AD.
Even if you have won two or three championships and are told to be a substitute, you have to be a substitute tomorrow!
Chidi has always heard that the club's second team has been raising a new ADC, who is being trained as his "successor".
The "Deeds" of the opposing mid laner YE also became the source of Chidi's greatest sense of urgency.
Just because, the opponent's mid laner has proved with facts that newcomers are scary!
Compared to Emperor Chi's unwillingness and urgency.
Chovy seemed more panic-stricken.
He continued to endure the white noise filling his earphones and didn't want to take them off - because he didn't want to hear the surging applause and screams outside.
He knew it had nothing to do with him.
The audience will only cheer for the winner!
At this moment, he was still clicking the mouse in front of the computer screen, staring at the results panel with some "unacceptability" - the number of last hits he and the opponent's mid laner had!
[$194] and [$196].
Although he had tried his best, and even gave everything he had to catch up, and successfully went to the three lanes to push the towers several times in the mid-game of the bomber to increase the difference in last-hitting, he still failed in the end! !
When everything in the canyon has settled.
Chovy was naturally aware of how terrible his performance was in the last game.
At this moment, he just wanted to escape from this stage desperately.
This place seemed to have become his nightmare place. Every second he stayed here was like having one more second of nightmare!
For this reason, Chovy didn't even look his old teammate Viper in the eye.
When facing Ye Bo's fist bump, he seemed to have suddenly changed from being a "right-handed person" to a "left-handed person", and he put his fist into his sleeve and stretched out his left fist to touch Ye Bo lightly.
Dolan and Lehends looked at Viper, their former teammate, with complicated expressions.
We were clearly on this journey together.
But now they are at completely different points in life. It can even be said that they are no longer people from the same world.
To put it bluntly, these three people are not even qualified to be compared now!
Relatively speaking, Peanut looks fine.
Maybe I'm used to losing?
However, the three consecutive jungle explosions, especially the tragic last one, made Peanut become a "mask snatcher" and put on the mask that he had personally given to his beloved Lang Xing.
In contrast to the team atmosphere on the other side where all the members were happy, GEN was extremely depressed.
The Roaring Emperor on the LCK commentary desk was extremely disappointed with the outcome of this game.
But seeing this scene, he quickly adjusted his mood and shouted out the ending again: "Ji~Ji~Smecta~"
"It's a pity that GEN, who we had high hopes for, was eliminated in the semifinals."
"But congratulations to EDG. They are a strong opponent. They experienced many setbacks along the way but were able to quickly adjust back to full form. This alone shows that the team's efforts and preparations backstage were enough to strike a precise blow against our No. 1 seed in all aspects today!"
“Especially the mid laner YE”
The Roaring Emperor paused for a moment and changed the subject.
His tone suddenly became serious: "In my opinion, he is definitely the most aggressive local mid laner since the establishment of the LPL region. He did defeat Chovy head-on in their first match today."
"We should pay enough attention to this new generation of top mid laner. He is completely different from the previous stereotype of CN mid laners!"
Although these words sound crude, they hit the root of the truth.
Based on the performance of the S-League ten years ago, it is easy for foreign players to develop some "stereotypes" about the domestic mid laners in the LPL.
After all, local players in the other four positions all won the S-League championship.
Only the middle road!
There is not a single local player among the three S-League champions. This alone is enough to give everyone the feeling that "CN's domestic mid laner is not good enough".
That seems to be the case.
until now.
The appearance of Ye Bo seems to be breaking this stereotype punch by punch!
Master An nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "This Ye is not only different from the current LPL mid laners, but even the legendary players in the old days, there is no template that can compare with him. This really needs to attract the attention of all teams."
“If we really want to talk about similar templates.”
The only figure that came to Master An's mind was a figure from 2013.
That was the figure who forced Master An, who was originally a mid-level player when he debuted, to move to the jungle position.
Ye Bo didn't know that his opponents were giving him such high praise at this moment.
The EDG members walked back to the center of the stage, bowed to the audience, packed up their peripherals and walked backstage.
But just as I walked into the backstage, the interview task came up.
Entering the semi-finals, every game has truly attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone can't be idle after the game, and they have to go to each region to be interviewed. Generally speaking, the most popular interviews are the interviews at the game site, the interviews with local players, or the interviews with the wildcard region where they can be lazy.
But Ye Bo was thinking that his brothers were not able to be interviewed “personally” during the quarterfinals last week.
So I took the initiative to take on the toughest task.
"You really don't need me to go?" Viper asked kindly, "If you go to the LCK interview, you might be asked some weird questions."
Since the two divisions are well-known to be "hostile" to each other, and they had just won such a big victory.
There is no doubt that there will be some tough questions asked in the post-match interview.
But in fact, Viper will not get any good results if he goes there.
Don't think that you can be immune just because you are one of our own. The Korean audience is angry right now. If you, a foreign player, beat up your own team, you might be scolded even more severely!
"It's okay, it's okay~" Ye Bo walked away, looking back and patting his chest.
"Don't forget that I have inherited the factory director's true teachings!"
"When it comes to interviews, I have the advantage!"
Since this is Ye Bo's first world competition, it is also his first time to come to the Korean interview room.
Listening to the chatter of "Han Gulu Mala Xida" around him, Ye Bo was like a curious baby, observing the surroundings.
Soon, a female host who was obviously evolved by Hextech technology came towards him in stiletto heels.
After communication through translation, the interview started quickly.
"Hello, LCK viewers. For today's post-match interview, we would like to invite EDG's mid laner YE to be interviewed. Please say hello to everyone first."
"Hello everyone!"
[Ah, it's not Piper who's here today? Tell him he'd better not come back in this lifetime! Otherwise, you'll be waiting for the truck! ]
[YE God! The world's best mid laner! The universe's best mid laner! Great job on killing this Xiba Chaowei! ]
[This is our Laock. Laock always loves to mock others for having to rely on our midlaner. Now, with a YE, I will beat up Laock's third generation midlaner! How funny]
[The people who are licking YE here are really disgusting. They don't even support the team in their own region? They are all traitors! They should all be sent to the north! All the traitors get out of the Republic of Korea! ]
[What a tadpole's face. He was still scolding others in the group stage, asking them to wait for the BO5 to kill him, but now that his GEN dad has been sent away, he immediately turns around and acknowledges his dad! ]
[Hehehe, that's better than being defeated 1-. T has never been defeated - by an LPL team since the beginning of this game! It's a huge shame for LCK! ]
Ye Bo probably never thought that just by saying hello he would cause a commotion in the live broadcast room.
However, there are actually quite a few of his supporters in the barrage!
No matter which region, there are obviously some crazy people and some people who just want to have fun, but there are also some normal players who simply enjoy watching the game.
And as long as these people watch the game, they naturally become his fans!
Not only that, due to T1's defeat in the previous group stage, fans of other teams, led by GEN, have been bashing T1 fans during this period.
So when GEN was defeated ugly by 3-0, many people temporarily "acknowledged the thief as their father".
The story ends with a few simple routine questions.
The host swallowed his saliva and officially entered the real question-and-answer session.
"Next question then."
"We know that EDG performed perfectly today and crushed GEN with overwhelming force. So I want to ask YE."
"Do you personally think that your team was under more pressure when facing T1 in the group stage or when facing GEN in the semifinals?"
[Shit! How can you ask a question like that?!]
[This host is also a tadpole! He is clearly targeting our GEN! ]
[No, YE God! Don’t answer! Don’t answer! This is a trap! ]
This question does have some obvious bias.
No matter which answer you give, it seems like you are saying that the other team is a loser.
But if we put aside objective factors and only look at the results of the game.
It is obvious that GEN was the side that suffered a more miserable death in today's game - after all, 3 to 0 has one more 0, and each game is shorter than the last!
However, Ye Bo thought about it very seriously.
Then he answered sincerely: "I think this question cannot be answered simply, because the situations faced by the two teams are very different. After all, T1 was still in the group stage and everyone was still exploring, and the difference between BO1 and BO5 is very large. As for GEN, we actually studied possible opponents in the semi-finals quite early."
Ye Bo gave a long analysis like Tang Monk chanting sutras, which made the translator beside him sweat profusely.
"If there is a conclusion, I feel the pressure, almost."
The host was dumbfounded.
You gave such a long analysis, but the result is almost the same! ?
Ye Bo expressed his true thoughts anyway.
But the barrage doesn’t think so.
[YE God: Pressure? Anyway, it’s X vs. Zero, there’s really no difference~]
[Arrogant! Taixiba is so arrogant!!]
[This is the confidence that these two noobs, GEN and DK, gave them! Do they dare to say this before the quarterfinals? Because they all know that once they reach the BO5 stage, T1 will be invincible! ]
[Too invincible, how come you are already eating kimchi in Korea? ]
The host did not get a satisfactory answer and was obviously unwilling to give up, so he continued to ask the question.
"So you just mentioned research and preparation. So the reason you were able to achieve such a huge advantage today is because you had more adequate preparation and research, right?"
This time Ye Bo nodded vigorously as if it was a matter of course.
"Of course!"
"Because our fans, whether they are in front of the screen or in the venue, I think they definitely want to see us EDG win."
“So in order to meet the expectations of our audience, we have to work harder and spend more time preparing and researching before the game, so that we can do all this on the field!”
"We Chinese have an old saying, 'One minute on stage takes ten years of hard work off stage. Host, do you think this is true?"
[Fuck, he made me cry! ]
[The EDG fans who just came in heard this and were moved to tears TT]
[I can only say that the old Guodian fans have finally made it. Now the fans of this Guodian team are simply enjoying themselves. The game is exciting! The teammates are reassuring! It’s pure bliss! ]
[To be honest, this is very real. Just seeing the score of 3-0, did you really think that GEN was a loser? You never thought that they put so much effort and thought behind the scenes! It really takes ten years of hard work on stage! ]
[Master Ye is trying to divide up the work. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has to be the midfielder, the coach, and the brain. He has to juggle so many roles! He is really working hard to win for the fans! ]
The translator barely managed to convey the core meaning of the words.
The Hex host was obviously confused.
Ah, not buddy?
Am I interviewing you, or are you interviewing me?
"Oh yes, oh yes, then let's move on to the next question!"
The host pulled to restore his mana and attacked again.
"Just now on the commentary desk, our LCK's Jeon Yong-jun (Roaring King) called you a unique mid laner in the LPL, and also called you the 'most aggressive' mid laner."
"But DRX mid laner Zeka, who has already entered the finals, has also fought in both regions. He also said in an interview that he thinks LPL mid laners are not good at laning, and just want to push the lane quickly, then go to the sideline to cross the tower or invade the jungle. So what do you think of these two statements?"
The first half sounded like it was still praising Ye Bo.
But in the second half, the real purpose suddenly came to light!
Zeka's remarks at the time really made Korean fans excited.
They believed that what the "international student" who had just experienced it personally said must be right.
This interview also made the LPL audience extremely angry at the time, but they were somewhat helpless - who could do anything about it - because the LPL local mid laner was really not up to the standard!
"Aggression? Actually, I think I like development."
Ye Bo scratched the back of his head and continued with a smile: "As for that question, I had no say at the time because I had not played against players from other regions, so I couldn't be sure if what he said was true."
"But now, I should be able to express some personal opinions."
"It is said that LPL prefers to push the line and fight, while LCK prefers to operate and develop. These should be based on the needs of the team. If a player only knows one way of playing, it will bring trouble to the team. In the final analysis, style should not be the judgment of strength."
"Anyway, from my personal experience, I feel like the players in both regions are really about the same~"
Obviously, these words were once again successfully "translated" by the barrage.
[YE God! So domineering! 】
[Term analysis "I like to grow": If I kill all of you, I can grow on the entire map! ]
[“Almost the same”? ———“They are all vegetables!”]
[This Xiba really has no temper. He has almost collected all the kills of the mid laners in the two divisions. Is there anything more convincing than him? ]
[Don't be so mean, Chao Wei is still pretty strong. I can only say that he is the only mid laner in the world game who has not been killed by Master Ye so far. His gold content is almost as good as Xiao Naiyou!! ]
[Chovy, 88884 is only for table legs. I can only say that Chovy’s greatest achievement in his life should be the “Not Being Killed by Master Ye” award! ]
Due to the delay in the interview time, a large number of LPL viewers have begun to flock to the LCK live broadcast room and started to show their support.
After hearing the translation, the host just laughed awkwardly.
The already stiff apple muscles are like two big weights.
I dug one pit after another, but this guy just refused to jump. And why does he always seem to want me to jump?! ?
No, how come you are so skilled!
"Okay. Then let's have one last question."
"Regarding the final opponent DRX, what are your expectations and opinions on this final?"
Listen to this most common ending question.
Ye Bo smiled mysteriously: "Then everyone must know that DRX has an old friend of our EDG. Both sides know each other well. This will be a fateful duel."
"Hey, host, let me test you! Do you know what this means?"
The host shook his head blankly.
Ye Bo raised the microphone again and coughed twice.
"This means that, in a sense, we have actually been studying our opponents in the finals for a long time!"
"I still say that, I will definitely work hard to protect everything of EDG!"
"As for our team, from the moment we stepped onto this field, no matter which opponent we faced or what unexpected events we faced, there has always been only one of us."
“Never wavered.”
LCK's post-match live broadcast room has never been so hot.
The entire live broadcast room was clumsy with comments and arguments.
Finally, Ye Bo faced the camera, spread his thumb and index finger, and made a confident inverted seven pose under his chin as the ending interface.
After finishing the interview, I returned to the backstage.
But what he didn't expect was.
I obviously underestimated the popularity of this BO5.
At the moment when this crushing semi-final match came to an end, the entire league was shocked!
(End of this chapter)
