Chapter 166 This time, let’s see what they can use to win!
The next day, all EDG members set off for the airport early.
They will head to the final battle site, San Francisco, California.
Although there is a week between the semi-finals and the finals, after all, this is the ultimate focus battle of the year for league fans around the world.
Before the game, there will be a lot of publicity, filming and other aspects that require cooperation from both teams, and they can all be regarded as a holiday to adjust their status.
According to the experience of EDG, temporarily increasing the amount of training in the week before the final battle will not have a very obvious effect. It still depends more on the mentality and performance of the players on both sides on the field.
If the atmosphere is too tense, the mentality of the players will be easily affected, which will ultimately lead to poor performance on the field.
After all, at this point in time, the teams that have made it to this point have basically reached the limit of their exploration of the world championship version, and it is difficult for them to have any key breakthroughs.
But there is one person who doesn't think so.
I had just finished a Rank training session before even getting on the plane.
Feeling the tinnitus and white noise at high altitude, Ye Bo felt that his concentration had increased a lot. If it weren't for the poor internet speed at high altitude, he would have wanted to play a game on his laptop right away.
It's not because of anything else.
Simply for Ye Bo himself, wandering in the Summoner's Rift is the most relaxing state for him.
Ye Bo, who was feeling bored after getting on the plane, suddenly discovered that Li Xuanjun, who was sitting next to him, was shaking his legs.
"What's wrong, Brother Saint Spear? Are you nervous?" Ye Bo asked curiously, "You and this arena have been married for a long time, and you are still nervous."
Li Xuanjun burst out laughing when he heard this strange adjective: "How can we be an old married couple? This is only my second time entering the World Championship, only one more than you!"
"But bro, I'm not nervous, I'm starstruck!"
He unveiled the lining of his team uniform, which was a jersey with the number {30} on the chest. He excitedly chatted with Ye Bo about the venue where they would be heading to for the final.
The final venue of this world championship is the Chase Center in San Francisco, which is also the home court of the Warriors.
"You also like basketball. You have a wide range of interests~"
As roommates, Ye Bo naturally knew a lot of each other's hobbies, including two-dimensional dramas, star chasing, and cooking.
"Playing games every day will make you depressed. You need to find something fun to relax~" Li Xuanjun said, and suddenly thought of something and became curious.
"Come to think of it, Master Ye, I don't think I've ever noticed that you have any other hobbies. You train every day, and that's all you do. To be honest, don't you get bored?"
"No, I don't train every day. I just play games most of the time."
Ye Bo answered very naturally, as if it was a matter of course.
"How can I get tired of this? I like playing League of Legends. I played this computer game for the first time when I was 8 years old. I have been playing it for ten years now. The more I play, the more addicted I become!"
"Besides, I used to just play games for fun. Now I have the opportunity to become a professional player. I can turn what I love the most into something more meaningful. I really cherish this opportunity. I also feel that this game has become more fun."
“I feel like I can definitely play for another twenty years~~”
The two of them seemed to have opened up.
However, as they chatted, Li Xuanjun's mood kept fluctuating.
His career is already very "inspirational". He has persisted for so many years and obviously must be a person who loves this game very much.
But to be honest.
In recent years, especially after winning the championship last year, Li Xuanjun has become a little "tired".
What he didn't tell everyone was that he had already made a plan. No matter what the final result was this year, he planned to take a year off next year and then see whether to retire.
On the one hand, it's a hand injury.
On the one hand, I am indeed a little tired and want to change my environment and direction.
However, during the time he spent with Ye Bo, Li Xuanjun could always feel it very clearly.
There was absolutely no way that the other party's expression was false; it was even overflowing with love, a yearning for the game, and a heat motivation that seemed to never go out.
Frankly speaking, the reason why Li Xuanjun was able to train into Yongen was that he was greatly influenced by the other party. He spontaneously wanted to use a lot of his rest time to double his training.
While chatting with Ye Bo, he couldn't help but recall the day when he first stepped onto the court.
The thought of retreating that had already arisen in my mind seemed to suddenly disappear in a trance.
"Master Ye, I'm serious," Li Xuanjun said with some emotion, "If we don't win the championship this time, I'm sure you will win the championship in the future, and definitely more than one!"
"You deserve this. If you can't do it, I can't imagine who else can."
"Don't worry, I'll try not to cheat you!"
Ye Bo didn't realize the heaviness in the other person's words.
He just smiled and waved his hand: "It's not that exaggerated~"
"There's nothing to deserve. Everyone is great, so at least we have to work hard enough to deserve what we want. I'm not just saying this as chicken soup. My mom used to tell me this every day. This is just listening to my mom!"
Li Xuanjun pretended to laugh and scolded: "Fuck, you're a mama's boy."
Ye Bo immediately made a boxing move with both fists hitting each other: "Then it must be me!"
After saying that, Ye Bo stretched out his arm, crossed over the airline seat, and hugged the other person's shoulders tightly.
"And Brother Saint Spear, what you just said is not right. I never thought that we would not win the championship this time."
"I have four world champions guiding me. If I still can't win the championship, then I'm really a loser!"
Li Xuanjun suddenly felt like peeing in the corner of his eye.
In fact, there is no need to say anything more about Ye Bo's performance, it is truly obvious to all.
How could he not hear it? It was obvious that Ye Bo realized belatedly that there was a lack of confidence in his words just now, so he said that deliberately.
After all, in this S12 World Championship, Kingen completely defeated Zeus, who was previously considered the most powerful, in five matches. He was also one of the absolute key figures in DRX's legendary victory in that game, which indeed put a lot of pressure on Li Xuanjun.
He jumped over the seat belt with difficulty, turned his head and spoke in a low voice.
"It's not four world champions taking you."
"It's you, coaching four world champions."
"Hey~ Brother Saint Spear, if you're going to brag for me like this, I'll have to punish Kingen for you in the finals."
At this time, Jiejie, who was sitting in the front seat, turned his head.
Looking at the two people hugging each other in a strange posture, his expression was a little strange: "What are you two doing, Master Ye, are you bullying my Saint Spear Brother!"
"Brother Saint Spear said I was a mama's boy, I was showing him how to split his skull with my powerful hands!"
"No, actually we are saying bad things about you. Master Ye said that you, a newbie, should not even think about stealing his FMVP. Get ready to be the fourth uncle!"
"The old fourth uncle is so boring. Do you think I should change my ID next season? Let's call myself jiejie7. Does that mean I can be called the seventh uncle directly? Forget it. It doesn't seem auspicious."
"Zhao Lijie, you little bitch, are you hinting at me again!!!" A loud shout came from the front seat.
The Atlanta to California cruise wasn’t long.
About three hours later, everyone arrived in San Francisco.
Although everyone had been attacked, due to the seriousness of the matter, they did not stop to appreciate the local culture and customs after landing, and immediately went to the hotel to prepare intensively and resume today's normal training.
There is no need to increase the training volume specifically, but normal daily training must be maintained.
Of course, up to this point, there are no more training matches to play, and both teams can only conduct their own internal training.
After all, all other teams have already gone on holiday, and no one will deliberately ask the entire team to stay with you to train. In the final analysis, there are differences between the competition areas and the teams themselves.
Of course, there is another reason why no team will train with us at this time, and there may be a risk of "leakage".
If we play against each other today, and in the final tomorrow the other party suddenly comes up with a "targeted" design, or simply copies your design - who will be able to say then whether it was leaked or developed by the other party themselves!
If this really happened, there would be no way to defend it.
Without a training match, Ye Bo immersed himself in the recording of the semi-finals between DRX and T1, trying to find some clues that could be used. It is worth mentioning that the original head coach Maokai has returned with the team and took over Mingkai's job as Ye Bo's assistant to help organize the data.
But the title was not changed officially and Mingkai is still the head coach.
And BP is still under the charge of Ye Bo!
This point was also raised by Maokai himself. After all, he was infected right after the group stage, and the symptoms and sequelae were surprisingly severe. He did not recover until the semi-finals and was completely unable to keep up with the progress.
If he is forced to return to the position of head coach, Ye Bo will have to spend a lot of time giving him special "tutoring".
Obviously, it seems like a superfluous and unnecessary move.
Even so, after the game, his honor as a leader will certainly be criticized, but as a veteran of EDG, Maokai made a wise choice that is most beneficial to the team.
The training lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.
Everyone went back to rest. Ye Bo, who had been watching videos and using his brain all day, just felt dizzy.
Prepare to take a short break before starting your "second phase" training.
During the day, Ye Bo has been conducting "paper training" and will only start the second phase of "actual combat training" after 12 o'clock in the evening.
This is also the best way to maximize the rational use of time!
However, while waiting for the daily CD reset to work.
Ye Bo first placed the thick stack of handwritten paper in his hand beside the bed, then took out his cell phone and prepared to relax his mind.
When you open Bilibili, the first page pushes the title: [Silas the Thief Kakashi! YE perverted Silas shows off multiple black scientific research skills! Many commentators exclaim: He is simply a genius! ]
The video begins with the familiar sound of a duck.
"Bad boy, even though he played well in the beginning, Waiyi's Sylas couldn't suppress Chaowei at all. When I was BP, I said how could you pick Sylas later to fight against Tsar!" Xika yelled.
"From this perspective, there might be something wrong with Yi's hero pool." Sun Yalong wanted to analyze it further, but suddenly turned into a roar.
"Fuck! Ip Man Lee Zai Gan God and Devil!!!"
The kid Youshen was even more anxious: "Turtle, Sylas used E to sneak in and steal the ultimate in the air to complete the thousand-mile return and push out of the tower! Fuck, this operation is too perverted!"
"Ye Wen Shen!!!"
Zeka instinctively started to make a joke: "I'm not exaggerating, everyone says Zeka is the best at Silas, but there's no comparison between him and Ip Man! He was crushed by Fei Fei!"
"That's different! That's different!" Sun Yalong connected his moves accurately: "Who is Fei Fei? Who is Chao Wei! The people he fights are different, so we can't just say he is stronger!"
There are so many barrages that they almost fill the entire screen.
[Classic disadvantages call Wai Yi, advantages call Ip Man! 】
[Sun Yeyou is still hanging around here. On the day Dafei left, his mouth was so crooked from smiling, but he was still hanging around here! ]
[Chao Wei and Tai Shou are just the same kind of people, they really can't be compared, but there's nothing wrong with that.]
[Kid is really unfilial. He doesn't even call me "Ji Ma Shy Fu" anymore. He just recognizes Uncle Ye when he's out there, right?]
[No way, the one with the championship trophy is the boss, those who can't enter the world competition are not familiar~]
The scene changed, and he stood up excitedly in Uzi's live broadcast room, holding up his Geodude high and shouting.
"Oh my god! How can Silas save Skateboard Shoes like this!!!"
"No! This is called four protecting one! To be honest, this is called four protecting one!"
"Brothers, no kidding, if YE had debuted a few years earlier and been on the same team with the main group, the main group would have won the championship long ago!"
When Ye Bo saw these words, he originally thought that the other party was jokingly mocking himself.
But looking at the other person's eyes, I feel like he really has some ideas.
The expression of Doinb that appeared next was even more exaggerated.
"Ward Maya! What is this Chaowei doing? How can Ryze farm like this!"
"YE, this Ziggs is really good, but how should I put it? I think there is something wrong with the way Chaowei plays Ryze!"
He turned his head to look at the comments and saw a bunch of mocking voices.
Most of the comments were like "Why is the host at home when he is so good?" and "Wasn't the host's Ryze causing his jungler to starve to death in the jungle?"
He quickly and skillfully changed the subject.
"YE is really a little genius, he can actually operate it like this!"
"Oh no, I mean YE is a little genius, not Xiaotian is a little genius. Oh, don't lead the anchor's rhythm every day."
And in this video, there is even a cut of live broadcast footage of the game.
The audience seats were locked, and the five members of DRX were sitting in the front row watching the game.
When EDG made wonderful plays and key decisions, one of the DRX bottom lane duo excitedly covered his mouth and cheered, while the other couldn't help but applaud.
only.
When the screen cuts to the other three people, their expressions are more solemn than the others.
[Mr. Dai really wants EDG to win, he will be called a traitor]
[Don’t brag, maybe they are just happy because they think EDG is better————Trivia, DRX has never won against GEN in team history! If they really make it to the finals, they can just vote! ]
[People without friends are like this. They are obviously really happy. Even if they lose to their old teammates, it is indeed the best ending! ]
[Put yourself in Mr. Dai's shoes. When he saw his old teammates win the championship, would he regret leaving LPL? What an irony of fate. After returning to LCK, LPL won more championships. He was always pursuing to move forward, but ended up going further and further away. Everyone would feel sad if this happened to them.]
[Why do I see Zeka's hands seem to be shaking? 0.0? ]
[Don't put pressure on them. It's not easy for EDG to get to this point. Isn't DRX's performance in the semifinals obvious enough? They are really not bad, and they may still be improving! ]
Ye Bo finished watching the video, turned back to the homepage, and subconsciously clicked on the private message from 999+.
He found that many, many people sent him private messages.
Many were new to the Final Four, but there were also a number of familiar faces cheering him on.
《Auntie, you are awesome! We made it to the quarterfinals! I knew at that time that you would definitely make it!》
"Auntie is awesome! We're in the semi-finals!!!"
"Auntie, come on in the finals! We are waiting for your skin as promised! I will use up my grandmother's low-income security card to buy it all!"
Ye Bo saw several familiar IDs, as well as a nickname that he had almost forgotten.
In a trance, I seemed to recall the time when I was live streaming at home, and I felt quite emotional for a moment.
Although he was looking forward to the competition at that time, he could not have imagined that, as if just after turning around the previous moment, he would have reached this point.
But the same thing is.
Whether he was live streaming back then or he is now, he is very happy.
Because we are all doing what we want to do and what we love.
He responded to these private messages one by one, and it took him almost two hours to finish replying until almost 12 o'clock.
Just as I said in the post-match interview yesterday.
It seems that Ye Bo is not only working for himself now, but also for the fans who like him and the audience who have high expectations for him.
For their own dreams, for the expectations of their fans, and to let the audience see them "win happily", they practice the meaning of ten years of hard work on stage.
These are his unlimited motivation.
At twelve o'clock, Ye Bo picked up a piece of manuscript paper at hand and read it again.
Then he stepped into the trial field and conducted experiments to verify his gains today.
Until the next morning.
When Ye Bo suddenly opened his eyes.
The bright light in the eyes seemed to be intertwined with the scorching sun shining into the room, acting as the curtain of the real world.
Lao Deng, I said it's not too late
"This time, let's see what they can use to win!"
