Chapter 262 The game begins!
When everyone from EDG walked into the arena, the arena was already full of seats.
Audiences in Wuhan are still very enthusiastic about this S7.
As soon as everyone in EDG stepped into the arena, they heard the cheers like a tsunami.
You know, it's just a play-in match right now.
Looking at the chanting audience in the arena, Chen Ye unconsciously sighed.
After everyone was seated, today's game officially started soon.
"Today's game should be very easy, right? I feel that it is not difficult for WE to qualify from here."
After sitting on the seat, Brother Holy Gun directly poked his head over, looked at Chen Ye and asked.
Chen Ye thought for a while, then nodded.
"In the play-in competition, there were no particularly strong teams. Judging from the state of WE in the bubbling competition, winning the game is not a big problem."
As he spoke, his eyes turned to the front of the stage again.
At this time, the game has officially entered the laning period.
Seeing this, Brother Holy Gun nodded slightly, and sat back in his seat.
There were no surprises in the final result of the game.
Facing their opponents in the first match of the play-in competition, WE directly won a clean victory and got off to a good start.
After the game ended, everyone in EDG directly invited a few people from WE to come out for dinner.
After the intercontinental competition, the relationship between several teams has been drawn closer.
Many players in the team have also established good personal relationships.
So, after the game, make an appointment for a meal.
This has become a common thing for both teams.
After dinner, the two teams wanted to part ways.
However, the coaches of the two sides suddenly met their eyes at this moment.
Then... the two teams that originally wanted to part ways.
Right after that, he went directly to his training place and started his own training match.
It has to be said that the current state of both teams is still quite good.
Compared with their performance in the playoffs, the competitive state shown in the training game is also not enough.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that the two teams finally ended their training match.
By this time, the members of both teams were exhausted.
After the game, WE played a training game again.
EDG, on the other hand, got off the plane and rushed to watch the game, and then played a training game.
It is inevitable that the teams on both sides will get tired.
After the training match, the factory manager dragged Chen Ye, who was already in a daze, out of the training ground.
With the night wind blowing on the streets of Wuhan, Chen Ye felt that he was much more energetic.
"WE is in a good state, and it should be stable to qualify for the finals."
The factory manager said, took a deep breath, and his expression became a little clearer.
Chen Ye also nodded slightly, "Well, I feel that Xiye's current state is much better than when he was in the playoffs."
"I hope that by then, they won't be assigned to the same group as us."
The factory manager stretched himself.
"It shouldn't be, the schedule should not be so awkward."
Chen Ye was silent.
"Okay, let's go. It's time to go back, or Nofe will run out to find someone again."
As he said that, the factory manager's tone was a little sour.
"Now you are the baby in his eyes, and there is no problem at all."
"If something happened to me, I guess he can still give me a bloody scolding."
Chen Ye was slightly taken aback, thinking of Nofe's slightly chubby face, he couldn't help but smile a little more.
"Let's go, EDG's group favorite."
……
Time passed quickly, and the time for the finalists almost passed in the blink of an eye.
The results achieved by WE did not disappoint the LPL audience.
With a very crushing attitude, they rushed out of the encirclement of the finalists and successfully entered the group stage.
The grouping of the group stage was also fully released after the finalists.
Group A: EDG, SKT, AHQ, C9.
Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC.
Group C: G2, SSG, RNG, FB.
Group D: FW, MSF, TSM, WE.
Once again, EDG and SKT met each other.
AHQ and C9 in the same group, this is not a particularly stressful opponent for EDG.
After all, the strengths shown by these two teams in their own divisions and in MSI are really not that strong.
But SKT is different.
As a legendary team in the LOL world, they have also shown absolute strength in all competitions this year.
It is indeed extremely difficult for EDG to get the first place in the group in front of them.
As for other groups.
RNG's team doesn't look very stressed.
The strength shown by the G2 team this year is relatively average.
Even if they advance to the World Championships, they obviously don't have the strength to go to the knockout rounds.
The same goes for FB.
In the eyes of most viewers, the only opponent RNG needs to pay attention to is SSG from the LCK division in the same group.
As the third seed of the LCK, their strength should not be underestimated.
Looking at it this way, Group D, where WE is in, has actually become the group with the least pressure to advance.
Although TSM can enter the World Championship every year, it has never had the strength to enter the group stage.
FW is the No. [-] seed in the Wanwan Division, but judging from their performance in the intercontinental competition, it is hard to say that they are better than WE.
In short, WE's promotion pressure should be the smallest among the three LPL teams.
And after the group stage came out, it was inevitable that there would be a frenzy of discussions on the Internet.
WE's promotion pressure is not too great, so most of the discussion points are not on them.
Most of the audience's discussions focused on the collision between SKT and EDG in Group A.
In the eyes of many people, this year's EDG has become like an old enemy of SKT.
At MSI, EDG even took the most powerful stance directly on the front, breaking SKT's monopoly in the international arena abruptly.
Also in the subsequent intercontinental competition, with an extremely powerful posture, he shattered the LCK division's trust in SKT.
This kind of head-on success has even made many EDG fans a little bit ecstatic.
But even so, most of the audience still think so.
EDG may not be able to take advantage of SKT in this year's World Championship group stage.
After all... EDG's performance in the World Championships in the past few years was really disappointing.
"I feel that this year, the form is quite good. Although EDG's performance before the S game was mediocre, it seems that this year is really in good shape."
"Indeed, I think we can expect a little more. I feel that even if this group does not compete for the first place, the problem of qualifying should not be too big."
"Indeed, it's ok to play steadily and keep trying to qualify."
"Fuck, are you all so conservative? EDG played so well this year, why do you feel so negative?"
"Yeah, I don't know, I thought SKT won this year's MSI."
"I can't help it. I am happy that EDG won the MSI. But they have never let people down in terms of disappointing people."
"How should I put it, expect less, and when he exceeds our expectations, he can be happier."
"Hi, too."
The direction of discussion on the Internet is probably such a situation.
For many people, they even have high expectations for EDG.
But because of EDG's poor performance in the previous World Championships, they didn't dare to show it.
The combination of these factors made the discussion on the Internet into this somewhat strange way.
Time is also passing by quietly in this process.
Soon, the time came to September 10th.
Today is also the day when the S7 group stage will officially start.
The first game of the group stage, the opening game is RNG's game.
As for EDG, it will appear in the last game of today's group stage.
Their opponent is AHQ.
Although the game between RNG and EDG was on the same day, there was too much time difference between the two games.
After RNG's game ended, EDG could not start its own game until seven hours later.
Therefore, when everyone in EDG got up from the bed, RNG's game was already over.
As for the result of the game.
RNG's performance in this opening game was quite good, and ended their opening game with a clean victory.
After hearing the news, everyone in EDG naturally smiled a little more.
RNG is their opponent in normal times.
But in front of this kind of competition, everyone will naturally maintain a consistent attitude towards the outside world.
After hearing the good news of RNG's victory, everyone in EDG will naturally feel happy.
After eating breakfast and adjusting their state, everyone in EDG also got on the bus to the competition venue.
The EDG bus started, and the atmosphere inside the bus was a bit stagnant.
Brother Holy Gun glanced around, taking a panoramic view of the situation inside the car.
After watching a circle, he also had to admit that the most nervous person at this time seemed to be him.
The other people in the car, including the rookie Double C, all had calm expressions on their faces, only a little bit of anticipation for the game.
But looking back at himself, the expression on his face was far from calm.
Although he is already considered a veteran in the professional arena, he has never been to the World Championship.
In other words, today's game will be his first appearance in the World Championship.
This is different from the MSI and Intercontinental competitions. The S competition has an extremely heavy weight in the eyes of every player, which is incomparable to other competitions.
Thinking about it, Brother Holy Gun's inner tension intensified a bit.
But when he was about to take a deep breath to adjust his state, iboy suddenly sat beside him.
"What's wrong? Are you nervous?"
Brother Holy Gun was really nervous at first, but when he saw iboy's mocking face, he didn't want to admit it.
"Nervous? Me? Are you kidding me?"
Brother Holy Gun said, and sneered.
iboy looked at him suspiciously, and handed him a bottle of water.
"Are you serious, that expression just now... tsk tsk..."
Brother Holy Gun glanced at the water bottle, and finally took it.
"If it's okay, I'll sit back."
Brother Holy Gun pondered for a while, "Wait a minute."
The iboy paused, and then slowly sat back.
"Why don't you look nervous?"
After Holy Gun finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on the iboy in front of him.
After iboy heard this question, he almost didn't think about it, and subconsciously opened his mouth to answer.
"Because Brother Ye is here."
As iboy said, he looked forward to Chen Ye, who closed the curtain and rested his mind with a calm expression.
"Anyway, even if I make a mistake once or twice, he still has the bottom line. I have nothing to be nervous about."
Brother Shengqiang was taken aback, and glanced at Chen Ye in front of him.
"You trust him that much?"
Brother Holy Gun naturally didn't have the slightest doubt about Chen Ye's strength.
But iboy's trust in Chen Ye without any suspicion at all still surprised him a little.
"That's for sure, because Brother Ye has been doing this from the beginning to the end."
Having said that, iboy seems to have no intention of continuing.
The conversation between the two ended here.
But Brother Holy Gun felt inexplicably that the previous tension in his heart seemed to have slowly disappeared.
The bus carrying everyone from EDG also slowly arrived at the competition venue during this process.
As soon as their car stopped, Chen Ye heard cheers from outside the car window.
When I opened the curtains, I saw that the car was surrounded by fans.
Many people held the EDG team flag in their hands, shaking it towards the EDG bus.
If it weren't for the fact that there were security guards at the scene to maintain order.
I am afraid that the fans at this time have already rushed to the EDG bus and surrounded it.
You know, this is Wuhan.
This city has never been a place with a particularly strong e-sports atmosphere.
But even so, after the EDG bus arrived at the venue, it still received such a warm welcome.
It is conceivable how popular EDG is in the entire LPL division at this time.
After everyone in EDG got off the car, they first greeted the surrounding audience.
Then, they walked into the lounge in the venue without stopping.
The AHQ team, of course, does not seem to be strong on paper.
But EDG will not despise them in any way because of this.
Otherwise, it would not only be disrespectful to the opponent, but also irresponsible to oneself.
Therefore, after entering the lounge, everyone in EDG directly entered the stage of preparing for the battle.
At this point, there was still almost an hour before the game officially started.
Naturally, they also need to make good use of this time to do a good job in the final discussion before the game.
Time passes quietly in this process.
Then, when the discussion of EDG gradually subsided.
The referee of this game also entered the EDG lounge to remind them that they need to play.
After hearing the news, everyone in EDG put down what they were doing.
Then, they came together and formed a circle.
Then, he stretched out his hand.
"come on!"
The voice of endless blood resounded in the lounge of EDG.
