I'm the chef in T1. The fatter Li Ge is, the stronger I am.

Chapter 104 If Uzi gets into hot form, even Emo won’t be able to save SKT!

After the game.

Everyone was also invited by the LCS region officials to be interviewed.

A typical European and American woman with wavy blond hair holding a microphone:

"Congratulations to SKT for winning this game!"

"We invited SKT jungler Emolove to accept this post-match interview."

"Say hello to everyone? Player Emolove!"

The staff translated these words to Wang Yu.

"hello!"

Wang Yu waved towards the camera.

The first day of the World Championship group stage saw the teams from Group A and Group D face off.

There were a lot of fans of the team who came to watch the game.

But most of them are local European and American people, and only a small number of them are players from China and South Korea.

therefore.

After the SKT game ended.

The audience who came to the post-match interview area to get close to all the SKT players were all fans of the players.

"Brother Yu!!!"

"A touch of hot dance!!!"

The audience behind the photographer shouted loudly.

Seeing this, Wang Yu also made a heart shape towards them.

"Player Emolove, as far as I know this is your first time participating in the World Championship. Do you know that you have broken the record for the youngest player to participate in the World Championship?"

The European and American female host waited until Wang Yu finished interacting with the audience before starting to ask questions.

Although there are still games to go.

However, the rule in the European and American regions is to interview first and then compete!

If the interview lasts too long, the screen in the main live broadcast room will be switched to the game, but the interview will not end suddenly but will continue.

Players who want to watch the game can stay in the audience seats.

If you want to get up close and personal with the players, please wait in the interview area.

This is also the reason why the European and American regions have always advocated and are liked by local players: player interaction!

"I didn't know. I'm so young."

Wang Yu pretended to be surprised and said, "Then Xianghe must be careful, because I will soon become the youngest world champion."

"Wow~"

The hostess was obviously a little surprised.

How could such seemingly arrogant remarks come from the mouth of a Chinese?

but
That’s what makes answers like this interesting!

Because the interview video will be posted on the Internet.

As a Chinese who plays in South Korea, Wang Yu is destined to have traffic from two regions.

In addition, this video was released by the official blog of the LCS region.

If the interview is good.

There will be viewers from three regions watching the video.

And she, as an interviewing reporter, may become famous overnight!
The female host was secretly excited and immediately asked the second question.

"I believe many viewers know that Emolove is from the LPL region. There are also three LPL teams in this year's World Championship. What do you want to say to them?"

"come on!"

Wang Yu repeated again in a serious tone: "Come on!"

"Uh-huh."

The hostess wanted to say something else.

suddenly.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

"Brother Yu~"

Duke, who had already finished the interview, rushed to find Wang Yu immediately.

The female host immediately signaled the camera to give Duke some footage.

“Welcome Duke!”

"First of all, congratulations on winning the first game of the group stage."

"As the first LCK team to use foreign players, does Duke feel any difference with Emolove joining the team?"

Duke looked distressed.

He had just quickly finished the interview and wanted to call Wang Yu to go back to the club for a snack.

I didn't expect that I ran so fast and accidentally became a conscripted man!

“It’s changed a lot!”

Duke didn't dare to say more on the subject.

Because Wang Yu is the core of the entire team, further details may reveal some tactics and lineup decisions.

In the eyes of the outside world.

SKT, which is in Group A, will definitely advance to the quarterfinals.

However, the results of advancing to the quarterfinals as the first in the group and advancing to the quarterfinals as the second in the group are very different.

First of all.

The team that wins the group will only face the second place team from other groups in the quarterfinals.

According to the grouping, it can be seen that ROX and SSG will definitely advance as the first in the group.

This will avoid a civil war in the quarterfinals!
Even though they have defeated ROS and SSG several times this year, coach kkoma still believes that these two teams are the biggest obstacles for SKT on their road to the championship!

To do this they must lay a solid foundation in the group stage!

10 month 11 day.

The second round of the group stage round-robin has ended.

As early as four days ago.

SKT won first place in Group A with a perfect record of 6-0.

Actually.

The first round of round-robin matches is over.

Everyone knew that SKT with a 3-0 record would advance to the quarterfinals as the group leader.

It is because of knowing this news.

Therefore, the teams in the other three groups are all gearing up and taking every BO1 seriously.

They dare not slack off.

They were afraid that they would become the second in the group due to the failure of this BO1, and would meet SKT in the quarterfinals, thus ending this year's world championship journey early.

finally.

The teams and rankings that entered the quarterfinals are:

First place in Group A [SKT]

Group A: 2nd place [ANX]
-
First place in Group B [ROX]

Group B, 9nd place [C]
-
First place in Group C [H2K]

Group C: 2nd [EDG]
-
First place in Group D [SSG]

Group D: 2nd [RNG]
-
LPL viewers are complaining bitterly.

They don't understand.

Why did EDG, who obviously had such good luck in the draw, come in second in the group?

The starches were very angry.

INTZ, the bottom team in the same group, couldn't beat almost anyone throughout the group stage.

But it was this team, called "Experience Baby" by LPL audiences, that defeated EDG in the second round of the round-robin match and won their first victory in the World Championship!
It's okay if you win.

But why!
It was the jungler of the INTZ team who took out the Lee Sin and kicked EDG to pieces!
This result.

Don't say that starch is unacceptable.

Even the LPL fans who were watching the game at the time couldn't hold it in anymore.

As for the IM team, which was eliminated in the group stage.

No audience would blame them.

After all, IM made it all the way to the World Championship from the LDL League, so even if they only got one round in the group stage, it would be enough.

But what about EDG?
The team has never missed a world championship since its establishment, and even won the MSI championship last year.

How come such a team configuration can only get second place in the group?
Let’s look back at what the EDG players said at the beginning of the previous World Championship.

For a while.

Many players started cursing in the comment section of the video of this game.

[《Try your best?》There is a reason why you can't compete with Faker! Don't you have to rely on pawns in the group stage? 】

[《Prepare tactics?》 You dare not use Lee Sin but you still say you are a jungler? You are always thinking about Nidalee and Lee Sin. Do you have the hand speed to do that? 】

[《Try your best?》 Playing as an EZ player, he had Mercury's key skills and ate all of them, but was kicked around by the opponent's Lee Sin and his pawn was killed! ]

[《Come on?》 Someone died at home? Then hurry back! Can you let the braised pork be served? 】

[《Break through to the quarterfinals?》 Some teams made it to the quarterfinals because of bad luck, but you made it to the quarterfinals purely by luck! ]

After the group stage, the draw for the quarter-finals will be held.

There are two pools in total.

at this time.

The players of the second seed team were looking at the screen anxiously.

【ROX】VS【EDG】

【H2K】VS【ANX】

【SSG】VS【C9】

【SKT】VS【RNG】

See this result.

LPL viewers were even more desperate, but not that desperate.

After all, three LCK teams are the number one seeds in the four groups, so the probability of meeting is still very high.

10 month 14 day.

The first quarter-finals!

【ROX】VS【EDG】!
Just as those LPL viewers expected.

Mouse returned home because of an accident at home.

Braised pork returns to the starting position.

But the result did not change.

1: 3!

EDG lost very decisively, and even the only game they won was because Scout played the mid and jungle roles alone, and he opened up the situation by roaming around the top and bottom lanes crazily.

And after the fourth game.

Someone on Tieba posted screenshots of the output panels of both players.

Lee Sin——4396!

The output of a carnivorous jungler is only over 100 higher than that of the support Nami!
A player who specialized in Lee Sin performed a move that even a gold-level jungler would not make mistakes in the game.

10 month 15 day.

The second quarter-finals!

【SKT】VS【RNG】!
We have the EDG example as a precedent.

The atmosphere in the RNG lounge was very serious at this time.

Although coach FLY is Korean, he has been in China for a year.

He knew very well that it might be impossible to win SKT in today's game.

But imagine losing as badly as EDG?
That's still quite difficult.

FLY clapped their hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Everyone, let me tell you about the arrangements for the first game first!"

at the same time.

In the SKT lounge.

kkoma sat on the stool. Although he had no expression on his face, he was very conflicted in his heart!
The strength of the opponents in the quarterfinals is very embarrassing. If Wang Yu plays, they can easily win 3:0, but if Blank and Bengi play, they may need to play a full BO5!

If you want to play skin game.

That would definitely be the group stage.

But at that time, kkoma could not be sure whether he could advance as the first in the group.

There is a high probability that we will face teams from the same division in the semi-finals.

At that time, every victory or defeat is very crucial, and we must not relax even if we are leading by three match points.

and so.

If you want to play in the skin game, you can only do it in today's quarterfinals!

Can.
My opponent is RNG again.

Until today.

kkoma still remembers Wang Yu's words: "I definitely support EDG without a second thought. There is no reason to support RNG, especially RNG without the little fat guy."

[Xiaoyu is an RNG fan? ]

[If I arrange Blank and Bengi to play now, will it hurt Xiaoyu's feelings? ]

I'm struggling.

Blank has already come close to Wang Yu and is using the water hammer to kick his legs, with the expression of a little follower.

"Yoshihisa, do you want to play?"

"Do not want to."

"Do you really not want to, or are you afraid that the coach will not agree?"

The two chatted in low voices.

Plus, Wolf was playing a funny video on his phone and grinning foolishly.

therefore.

Kkoma couldn't hear their conversation.

"I want to, but I'm afraid I'll lose if I go up there."

Blank hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out what was on his mind.

If you want to get your own champion skin, now is definitely the best time.

No chance to play in the group stage.

There is a high probability that we will meet our own people in the semi-finals.

Only in today's match against RNG, a team from the LPL region, will Blank have the chance to play.

"Don't be afraid, just do it!"

Wang Yu patted Blank on the shoulder and said, "It will be your turn later. You go up first, and then Xingxiong goes up. It will be easy to beat RNG, right? Just hold on to the middle lane and we'll be done!"

"Why not just focus on the upper and lower lanes?"

Bengi, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help but speak out.

The SKT coaching staff and data analysts have specifically studied the RNG team.

Looper in the top lane and Uzi in the bottom lane both have the ability to take over the game.

By comparison.

Xiaohu in the middle lane is very stable. Although he is occasionally at a disadvantage in laning phase, he almost never gives the opponent any chance.

In this situation, you should focus on the upper and lower lanes.

Wang Yu said meaningfully: "No one would refuse the temptation to become famous by killing Faker alone!"

Simultaneously.

kkoma is also being threatened by top management!

[Zhengjun, I can't help it. You know the more champion skins you have, the more income your club will earn.]

[There are three junglers in our team. Apart from Blank, Bengi has quite a lot of fans, right? ]

[If you win the championship, you will get seven championship skins! ]

Li Jingzhi was not in the lounge, but was called away by a phone call.

He can only communicate with kkoma via text messages.

"I can count."

kkoma sighed slightly in his heart, but did not reply to Li Jingzhi's text message.

[Alas, the boss said that Blank and Bengi must play. Anyway, Emolove is there to back them up. Let Bengi or Blank play first to see who wins or loses. If they lose, we'll arrange for another player to play in the semifinals or finals.]

[Zhengjun, are you still watching? Can you give me an answer? The boss said that if you don’t cooperate, someone else will. Please agree! ]

Watch the latest news.

kkoma suddenly laughed: "Hahaha!"

He put away his phone and looked at Wang Yu with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Blank will play in the first match. Xiaoyu, you should take a rest first."

Say it.

kkoma didn't dare to stay in the lounge any longer and hurried out of the room to communicate with the staff.

As the coach left.

Wang Yu also stood up from the sofa.

"The coach is not here, so I will just say a few words."

"When playing against RNG, don't worry about anything else. If we keep our mid and top lanes stable, the opponent's bottom lane will naturally get anxious."

This is the first sentence.

Second sentence.

Wang Yu said to Blank: "Shanjiu, you are now half my apprentice. You represent me when you go out to play in competitions. Please don't let me lose face in the education industry!"

"Master! No way!"

Blank swore: "You even told me the secret of how to win the game, if I still lose"

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop setting the sail!"

Wang Yu hurriedly interrupted Blank's oath.

This guy.

If I keep talking, I'm afraid I'll be covered in flags!
"If you have time in Wan, just control Shanjiu remotely."

"Fight well, everyone! If I can win without playing, I'll cook you a feast when we get back to the club!"

Compared to kkoma's chicken soup.

When everyone heard that Wang Yu was going to take the initiative to prepare a big meal, they shouted excitedly.

"Shit~" Bang raised his hands: "Everyone lie down, I'll carry this BO5!"

"cut!"

Duke curled his lips, feeling somewhat unwilling.

He was facing off against the former world champion top laner.

It's very stressful.

I don't even dare to say I can carry the game.

of course.

If Wang Yu is there, Duke will definitely not be afraid of the looper.

But who made Blank the one to play today?
You should be a coward.

It’s time to bow your head.

It doesn’t say who carries the meal to have a good meal.

As long as we win, that's all!

LPL commentary booth.

Guan Zeyuan, Miller, Wawa and special guest former professional player PDD.

Four people are the commentators for today's game.

The director’s reminder came through the headset.

"Dear viewers, we have received news that Emolove is unwell. Blank will be the starting jungler in the first game."

Guan Zeyuan immediately complained after he finished speaking: "SKT is looking down on our RNG team! They don't even use the starting jungler!"

"This is a good thing!" Wawa was overjoyed: "If Emo were to play, I think RNG wouldn't even be able to play in the fourth game."

"That's right!"

Miller nodded repeatedly: "If Uzi gets hot, even if Emo comes on the court, he can't save SKT!"

PDD looked very unhappy.

Don’t be fooled by the three commentators around you who are so optimistic.

He knew it very well in his heart.

SKT wants to play a skin game!

Only a team that is determined to win the world championship trophy would dare to do this.

Exactly.

SKT is almost in a strong position this year. Even ROX and SSG are unable to fight back against SKT with all its players starting!
The new jungler who was sent to LCK by EDG for trials. So scary!

At this moment.

In the LPL live broadcast room.

The audience was talking a lot.

[Damn, SKT is too arrogant, right? Changing the formation on the spot and looking down on RNG? Beat them up! ]

[I am dying of laughter. Before you say something like that, can you please take a look at how strong SKT is when all the players are starting? Only by changing Blank can they really give him a chance! ]

[Is Emo really unwell or does he want Blank and Bengi to share a champion skin? ]

[Some things are just for you to know, it's meaningless to talk about them! ]

[When I think of RNG overcoming the two mountains of Blank and Bengi, and then discovering the Mount Everest of Emo, that expression must be very interesting. ]

【Come on RNG! You are the hope of the whole village! 】

Before the game, no one thought RNG could beat SKT.

Then when Guan Zeyuan said that Blank would be the starting jungler.

At this time, countless LPL viewers began to have hope.

Blank has made only a handful of appearances this year, and his win rate is very low!

Whenever he played in the group stage.

The audience may also be worried about whether Blank will explode and continue his performance.

pity.

The last time Blank appeared was in the spring season!

After not playing any games for such a long time, even if he had participated in training games, his condition would definitely not be as good as those of players who frequently play games.

With the idea that maybe SKT could be forced into a life-and-death situation.

The audience watched the first game of the quarterfinals begin.

then
it's over!
A long and painful forty minutes.

SKT performed very steadily in the early stages, and although they had some minor disadvantages, they were not serious.

After Blank's Lee Sin reached level 6, he continued to gank the middle lane.

Xiaohu, who wanted to prove himself by killing Faker alone, was killed three times in a row and was unable to make his record right until the end of the game.

"Congratulations to SKT." Guan Zeyuan sighed slightly: "What a pity, I feel that this game can be won, but the players were a little nervous and didn't handle the details well."

Wawa and Miller remained silent.

PDD was about to speak.

Suddenly, the director's reminder came through the four people's earphones.

"Latest news. SKT will change the jungler in the second game, and Bengi will be the starting jungler in the second game."

Guan Zeyuan finished speaking.

The four of them were completely silent.

If there was a substitution in the first game, it could be understood that player Emolove was really unwell.

But even so, they were unable to beat SKT, which did not have all its players in the starting lineup.

Now they are about to face the strongest mid-jungle combination in the world.

Does RNG really have a chance of winning?

Fifty minutes later.

The stage lights come on.
