Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

"Congratulations to EDG! They easily secured two wins on the first day of the group stage, a great start!" Remember immediately congratulated EDG.

"That's right! It's clear that EDG has maintained their form from the LPL Finals and performed exceptionally well."

Rita was equally excited: "As long as EDG maintains this form, there shouldn't be any problem for them to advance from the group stage."

Amid cheers from the audience, the EDG team went to the TSM players' bench to shake hands with them before returning to the backstage lounge.

The EDG players were greeted with cheers from the crowd.

EDG's post-match interview this time featured Zhou Hanyang.

Although EDG performed well in team fights later on, Zhou Hanyang's two plays in the top lane early on completely disrupted TSM's rhythm.

Soon, Zhou Hanyang was led by staff to the post-match interview area.

Yu Shuang was the same person who interviewed him this time, since it's unlikely that many hosts would travel abroad for international events.

After a brief greeting, they got down to business.

"Attack player, is it nerve-wracking to participate in such a world-class event for the first time?" Yu Shuang asked with some curiosity.

"It's impossible not to be nervous," Zhou Hanyang smiled, and confidence gradually appeared on his face.

"But after playing against them, I found that... FW and TSM are far inferior to WE in terms of both overall strength and the strength of their top laners!"

"Wow!" Although Yu Shuang was prepared for Zhou Hanyang to say something witty, she was genuinely surprised that he would say such a thing.

"I hope G2 and SKT can give me some surprises!" Zhou Hanyang continued before Yu Shuang could speak.

"I originally planned to tank the pressure with my Warlord's Bloodlust and Cloth Armor 4 Red. But the opponent gave me the opportunity, so I didn't achieve the tanking effect I was supposed to, which makes me look stupid."

"Hahaha!" Yu Shuang chuckled lightly, not continuing on the topic: "I wonder what Attack and EDG's expectations are for their performance at this MSI?"

"The factory manager once said something to us in private. He said... he came back for those who can't come back." Zhou Hanyang paused before continuing:

"As everyone knows, KT was the runner-up in LCK this time, and they almost made it to MSI. And EDG's former two carries are on the KT team!"

Clearly, the factory manager still misses the days when he fought alongside the two carries. As top-tier carries, I admit they were indeed very strong.

But I want to say that as one of EDG's new generation of carries, I am more efficient and better at playing than EDG's previous two carries.

Therefore, this time! MSI results cannot be worse than last time!

I will fight my way up in the top lane, carving out a path to victory for EDG and forging a road to the championship!

"Wow!!!" Yu Shuang exclaimed again.

Zhou Hanyang's speech was a textbook example.

Firstly, Mingkai's speech improved his public image.

I came back for those who can't come back.

This elevated Mingkai to a whole new level.

Then, they specifically named EDG's former two carries, acknowledging their strength.

Finally, I will elaborate on my goals and confidence.

Their IQ and EQ are both maxed out.

Many people also chose to watch the interviews in the official domestic live broadcast room.

Everyone was 'shocked' by Zhou Hanyang's remarks.

"Wow, Attack is so cool!"

"Attack Bro is awesome!"

"Attack Bro? What does that mean?"

"Attack means offensive, don't you know that?"

"Holy crap! Using an ID like that, aren't you afraid of getting caught?"

"It seems WE might not be able to hold on any longer."

"I'll make it even more moisturizing and easier to use than Daehan's Double C... Hahahaha!"

"The results can't be worse than last time, right? There's nothing wrong with that, isn't there?"

……

The EDG team was watching Zhou Hanyang's interview in the backstage lounge.

All eyes immediately fell on Mingkai's face.

"You actually said something like that?" Abu asked, somewhat surprised.

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! It wasn't me!" Mingkai waved his hands repeatedly, taking several steps back as he tried to prove his innocence: "I really didn't say that! He's slandering me! He's trying to smear me!"

Saying that your former teammates were better than your current team is a sign of a lack of emotional intelligence.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't say something like that.

The only person to say something like that in public is 369!

He told Hope directly when he was on JD: If it were JackeyLove in this round, he would definitely have played.

TheShy, however, would only tell Puff: You need to play with more confidence.

Actually, both mean the same thing, but most people can't accept 369's communication style.

Seeing Mingkai's wronged and almost crying expression, everyone chose to believe him this time.

Zhou Hanyang is a very serious person in other matters, which makes him easy to trust.

Only when it comes to Hei Mingkai, he truly spares no effort.

Seeing that everyone believed in him, Mingkai breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help cursing inwardly.

Zhou Hanyang!!!

You little brat... you bastard, just you wait!

After EDG's match, SKT also easily defeated GAM!

After finishing their match, EDG returned to their hotel.

As for the matches, you can watch them on your phone anyway, since the data is compiled by analysts.

Because of its short duration, MSI group stage matches are played every day.

That evening, EDG had to review the game and discuss their tactical system for the next day.

Time is extremely tight.

While EDG was reviewing their match, the tournament organizers released the post-match audio recordings of each team.

In the LPL, post-match audio recordings must be approved by the teams themselves before they can be released.

However, the Brazilian organizers don't have as many concerns.

They not only released the voice line of Flash Wolves' AD carry Betty, who roared in anger when facing a gank from a Lee Sin with Ghost, but also showed him not using his Q ability.

They also released EDG's team voice chat.

In addition, Zhou Hanyang's statement that "esports relies not on skill, but on marathon" was also released.

And what's with the 'Miracle Walker is still farming jungle camps'?!

'What's the point of playing Miracle Walker if he doesn't farm jungle camps?'

They even released 'Not as good as Letme'!

These audio recordings were immediately shared and circulated in China by netizens.

In an instant, the whole country exploded!

[Some readers have mentioned that Warlord's Bloodlust only triggers on critical hits! That was true in the initial versions, but it was changed in version 16.4! Now it triggers even when health is not full, but critical hits restore more health!]
