Chapter 229: No more retreat! Here comes that man!

At this time, countless League players went to EDG’s official Weibo to check out tomorrow’s starting lineup.

In the end, they were still very disappointed, because EDG's starting jungler was still Haro... and the substitute jungler was Zzali.

Since he is not in the starting lineup, it is not certain that the factory manager will play under this circumstance.

But EDG, who are in a different group, only have this one chance to play against GT.

The last Demacia Cup was speed-cleared in an hour, but they also saw the potential of the new players.

It seems that there is something really special about their lineup system.

But the problem now is that if the strongest lineup is not present, there is still no way to compare the strength of the two sides.

It makes everyone feel unsure.

So I actually don’t quite understand why EDG made this choice.

It’s so hard to face off against GT... a team in excellent form.

If we miss this time, we will only be in the playoffs next time. According to this ranking, it might be the finals.

This is the time to prepare for the finals.

But the starting factory manager still didn't play.

Could it be that the factory manager is really planning to retire as he told everyone?
But it seems a little unreasonable.

After all, the intensity of training has been increased during this period.

The results achieved through high-intensity training are also quite impressive.

It is obvious that his form has almost recovered. Having a high-intensity match directly will undoubtedly prove himself.

As long as we win this game, the next appearance will be a natural progression.

There's no reason for EDG to keep Zzaizhang on the bench, right?

So these decisions are a little bit confusing for everyone.

In fact, the pressure on the club is also quite high.

They also hope that the factory manager can play, so as to stabilize some fans.

As a result, the factory manager felt that it was not yet time for him to play and he needed to continue training for a while.

Abu could also clearly feel that even though the player was so proud of himself, there were some problems with his mentality.

The round of 16 was a bit too much of a blow for him.

Or it should be said that every year's global finals is a huge blow to the factory manager.

According to his thinking, if he leaves WE, he must prove himself with achievements.

He has indeed won many domestic championships.

But once it comes to the global finals, the state is reset to zero.

4396 the year before last… the top last year.

Abu thought that maybe he should go talk to the factory manager.

Otherwise, his favorite disciple would really have to retire after the end of this year's competition, which he thought was a great pity.

I hope the factory manager can regain his form and try again this year!
……

The second round of matches in the ninth week officially begins.

This is also GT’s last game in Shenzhen.

The Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center was packed with people!

The seats were all full, and even the small venue had an extra thousand seats added.

Not only that, the ticket price also increased from the original minimum of 120 to 240, doubling.

Because everyone knows that there will not be such a good opportunity to watch GT competitions live in the future.

If you still want to see it live, you have to go to Shenzhen.

No one thought that the league would develop so rapidly before.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable.

After all, it has been mentioned countless times by CCTV.

After winning the global finals championship, he was selected for this year's Jakarta Asian Games!
What’s even more exaggerated is that it has become an official project.

The General Administration of Sports has already started to launch the national team lineup.

According to the current situation, it is likely that the lineup will not be released until the end of the spring season.

However, many people have already determined the national team lineup.

There is naturally no suspense about the mid laner, and Xiu Shen’s strength is well deserved.

But there are some other opinions in other places.

But these are all things for later.

But what everyone is relatively certain about is that the team that wins the spring championship can basically secure a spot on the national team.

This is also one of the main reasons why we have been fighting so hard during this period.

No one wants to give up such a good opportunity.

Once you give up, you don’t know what the situation will be like next year.

The career of a professional player is the most uncertain.

The situation this year is good, but it may be bad next year.

For today's game, the commentary lineup sent by the LPL official is also very strong.

The golden combination of Doll Miller and the pleasing Rita.

There is a lively atmosphere, professional commentary and a visual feast.

Next I want to watch some exciting games.

However, the match between GT and EDG is in the second game.

Before that, let’s take a look at RNG’s crushing victory over FPX.

Although RNG couldn't beat GT, it was still very easy for them to bully these weak teams. There was almost no pressure. The two games took only more than an hour...

The record became nine bars and two, but they still maintained their winning streak.

The five-game winning streak made the fans feel a little relieved. With this status, they can ensure the second place in the group and avoid being in the same half of the group with GT.

There is still room for improvement in the upcoming playoffs.

I’m just afraid of being assigned to a semi-region and then being eliminated by GT in the semi-finals.

Bo5 is a game that requires tactics. Maybe you will slowly find the feeling in the later games?

Isn’t this how Lao Gandie won the summer championship before?

No matter how outrageous his performance was in the global finals, winning the championship proved that this battle avoidance strategy was correct.

And what’s wrong with second place? Strive for second place!

Of course, the second place in the West doesn’t think so.

BLG now really wants to give up its second place to the Snake Team...but they don't dare to be too blatant.

It would be troublesome if we were caught for match-fixing.

Ended the game where the second-worst team in the Eastern Conference was bullying the second-to-last team in the Western Conference.

The focus is here too.

The No. 1 team in the East versus the No. 1 team in the West.

GT vs EDG!

Apart from whether the factory manager can come up or not, the duel in the middle lane is also very interesting.

Because the data of my junior brother is also very exaggerated.

He is a very strong mid laner.

The matchup can often suppress...

It also reminded many people that Scout was Faker's substitute before, which was indeed something. EDG can be said to have picked up a treasure.

But then again, there is still a big gap compared to Xiu Shen.

So what everyone is mainly watching is whether the younger brother can complete his revenge.

After the first game, many viewers exclaimed that it was worth the money!
EDG showed great resilience.

It is also the only team that has fought with GT for more than 40 minutes so far!
This made the fans at the scene a little excited.

But the excitement didn't last long.

At forty-one minutes.

Li Yi's Viktor used the W skill to beautifully divide the terrain.

What followed was Mach's full power, once again telling all the viewers that League of Legends doesn't just have Ryze, the King of Lightning, but also his Viktor.

"Join the glorious evolution!"

The ultimate skill starts to output crazy amounts of damage, instantly dealing explosive AOE damage.

Lin Weixiang seized the opportunity and the big mouth behind him started to spray wildly using the W skill.

The double C explosion instantly killed a key C position of EDG and Sion in the front row.

As a result, EDG's rhythm completely exploded, and they could only retreat continuously to the rear.

GT decided to quit while it was ahead and did not choose to continue the pursuit. Instead, it turned around and took down the Baron.

A zero-for-two exchange completely established the victory of the game.

Start the final push with the big dragon buff.

EDG was powerless and was eventually wiped out in front of the highland tower.

Li Jiongjun and He Bin, who were watching this scene, shouted excitedly.

"Pretty!"

"Take it!"

The main reason was that the score was too close at the beginning, and I was really worried about losing the first game.

GT has won nine games in a row so far, and has not even lost a small game.

The momentum is incomparably strong.

If they lose a game at this time, they are still worried about the impact.

Fortunately, there are no problems.

EDG is still EDG, and they can really put a lot of pressure on us.

However, they chose a relatively conventional lineup this time.

Next, let’s see whether EDG will put in the power.

At this time, Wawa Miller in the commentary booth was also summarizing the first game.

"The expectation was well-founded, the first game was so exciting! Both sides fought back and forth. If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Victor, GT would have been in a very dangerous situation."

"Yes, EDG really gave us a lot of surprises. So here comes the second suspense of this game. Will Zhaziwei play in the second game?"

"Facing a strong team like GT, the factory manager came up to stabilize the morale of the team."

Miller doesn't think so.

The main reason is that GT's strength is too high. The factory manager hasn't played in a competition for such a long time, and he is playing in such a high-intensity game right away, so his mentality may be a problem.

The best way to make a comeback is to play against the same group in the last two weeks.

There wasn't much pressure during that period when we were playing against each other in the same group.

After all, it is generally recognized that the overall strength of the Western Conference is much weaker.

The fact that Snake and BLG are in the top three is proof of this.

Not only that, EDG is already four points ahead of the second place. Unless they lose all the remaining games, it is impossible for them to fall to second place.

If I hadn't dropped to second place, I wouldn't have been in the same group with GT.

The overall pressure was not great at that time, and the factory manager could adapt comfortably.

……

But what Miller didn't expect was.

Just as the second game was about to begin, I received a notification from the director.

The expression changed!
The doll also has a smile on its face.

Announce it to the audience.

"EDG made a substitution in the jungle position in the second game! Substitute jungler clearlove was substituted!"

This season, the factory manager did not change the suffix from seven to eight.

Instead, it was removed and returned to the original ID.

It can be seen that he has returned to his original intention.

"EDG made a substitution in the jungle position in the second game! Substitute jungler clearlove was substituted!" The news exploded like thunder in the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.

The audience was instantly boiling with excitement, with cheers and screams intertwined together, one wave higher than the other, as if to blow the roof of the venue off.

The fans' eyes were sparkling with excitement and anticipation. Some of them excitedly jumped up from their seats and waved their cheering signs with both hands. There were words like "Come on, Director" and "Clearlove will win" written on them, which made them particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

The young men's faces flushed, and they shouted at the top of their lungs, as if they wanted to vent all their long-accumulated enthusiasm. Some fans were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, and they shouted the factory director's name with trembling voices. They had waited too long for this moment.

But amid this jubilation, some rational voices quietly emerged.

Many spectators were excited, but worried. They whispered to each other, "Zizi.com is indeed a legendary player. We all hope that he can perform well, but he has rested for so long. It's hard to say how much he can recover."

A senior spectator wearing glasses frowned and said solemnly. The people around him nodded in agreement, "Yes, e-sports is changing rapidly. I haven't played a game for such a long time. Facing such a strong opponent like GT, the pressure is really great."

Despite this, EDG fans still hold on to a glimmer of hope, expecting that the factory manager can use his strength to break these doubts and bring amazing highlights in the next game.

They would really feel it is a pity if the factory manager retired like this.

……

And the time goes forward ten minutes.

After losing the first game, the EDG players returned to the backstage lounge looking depressed and dejected.

Is GT really an invincible team?

After losing the first game, the EDG backstage lounge seemed to be shrouded in a haze. The players lowered their heads and slumped in their chairs, and their uniforms seemed to be dull because of the heavy atmosphere.

The factory manager sat in the corner, looking at his teammates who were listless and dejected. His heart felt like a tangled mess, with bitterness and unwillingness intertwined, and he felt very uncomfortable.

His eyes slowly swept over everyone. The passionate scenes on the field in the past formed a sharp contrast with the depression at this moment.

At this moment, he subconsciously looked up at Abu. When their eyes met, Abu seemed to understand his inner thoughts and nodded firmly to the factory director. This nod was like a shot of adrenaline to the factory director.

He took a deep breath, and his chest swelled slightly, as if he wanted to expel all the pressure and cowardice from his body with this breath.

Then, he said in a calm and unquestionable tone: "I'll play in the next game." Although his voice was not loud, it was like a bell ringing in this silent space.

The other people in the lounge seemed to be triggered by the sound, and they quickly raised their heads which had been lowered.

They looked at the factory director, who had a serious look on his face, and his eyes showed a light of perseverance despite all the hardships he had experienced. Although his voice was not loud, every word he said seemed to carry a heavy weight, hitting everyone's heart.

You know, in the past years of EDG, the factory manager has always been like a big brother. The tactical system is built around him, the team rhythm is controlled by him, and the players are used to revolving around the factory manager on the field.

The moment he decided to go on stage, many people breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, as if after being lost in the darkness for a long time, they finally found the backbone that could lead them out of the predicament.

Everyone firmly believes that only when the factory manager stands on the field, EDG will be complete and have strong combat effectiveness.

……

At this time, the director gave the shot of the contestant channel.

The familiar face of the factory director appeared in the camera.

That man is back again!
