Chapter 389 Mr. Ming, Every Encounter in the World Is a Long-Lost Reunion
Hearing the word "EDG", Peanut got excited: "EDG? Is it the EDG of Mr. Ming?"
The nickname "Mr. Ming" was given to him by Chen Yiqiu, and it refers to the factory manager.
Peanut himself thought it was interesting, so he kept using it.
Hongmi responded: "It's this EDG, but the factory manager has gone to play as a substitute now, so he probably won't play."
Peanut suddenly became unhappy: "He won't play? That's so boring, why doesn't he play? He used to be my idol."
Hearing this, Chen Wei couldn't help laughing.
Peanut asked: "Chen Wei, what are you laughing at? I'm not wrong, he used to be my idol."
Chen Wei shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at... other things."
In fact, Chen Wei was laughing at what Peanut said just now.
Peanut said that he was a fan of the factory manager during an interview in S6.
Then, Peanut abused the factory manager in the process of fighting with him.
The phrase "I am your fan" has become a meme, implying that the opponent should be beaten to pieces.
Chen Wei also laughed when he thought of this.
Hongmi said: "EDG's record is not bad now, five wins and one loss, temporarily ranked third, so we can't underestimate the enemy, spend some time to study their playing style."
Hongmi took out a notebook with various data of EDG on it, and began to arrange targeted training for everyone.
Generally speaking, targeted training is rarely carried out in the regular season. The main training goal is to familiarize yourself with the version, unless you encounter a strong team that you may not be able to beat.
Three days passed quickly, and it was another weekend, and the LPL game was on the scene.
Although the game has not started yet, the scene is crowded.
LPL also understands that all the games of Topbo are arranged on weekends, so that Topbo's popularity can be fully utilized.
There will be many fans who want to watch the game on weekdays but have no time to watch it.
In the lounge, Topbo people are waiting to play.
Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and entered the anti-pressure bar.
Xiaohuasheng came over when he smelled the smell.
"Brother Yiqiu, what are you looking at? Let me see too." Peanut came over to find out.
"Now they are discussing whether your Mr. Ming will play in the game today." Chen Yiqiu responded.
"Mr. Ming! He will play, he will definitely play." Peanut seemed to be looking forward to it.
Chen Yiqiu could see that Peanut had no ill will towards the factory manager, he just thought it was fun to play against the factory manager.
After all, that was his highlight moment in Huya.
"According to what is said online, the starting lineup of EDG has not been released today, and it is estimated that Mr. Ming may play." Chen Yiqiu continued.
"Really? Mr. Ming! My Mr. Ming!" Peanut was overjoyed.
Chen Yiqiu looked at Lee Sang Hyuk: "Scout will play, you will be fine in the middle lane, right? You won't be suppressed by him."
Chen Yiqiu said this deliberately, just to stimulate Lee Sang Hyuk.
Although Lee Sang Hyuk himself did not think so, netizens now like to compare Scout with him and regard him as Lee Sang Hyuk's successor.
"Really? I hope he can do it. I will be happy for him." Li Xianghe responded.
Xiaohuasheng said with a smile: "Xianghe brother, don't pretend. You must not think so, right? You must want to beat him on the court."
In fact, the relationship between the three players in the middle, top and jungle and Scout is not bad, but when they are facing each other on the court, that is another matter.
In private, they can be brothers, eat, drink and have fun together, but on the court, they are opponents.
On the other side, in the EDG lounge.
In comparison, the atmosphere on the EDG side is much more dull.
Now they have a problem, who will play the jungle position?
Originally, this should not be a problem. The jungler used to be Hero, and the record was very good. Normally, he just needs to continue to play.
However, the LPL official communicated with EDG and expressed the hope that the factory manager can play.
This is also for the popularity of the LPL region. After all, S7 has dealt a heavy blow to the LPL.
And the match between the factory manager and Xiaohuasheng is expected by many viewers.
Zhu Kai walked up to the factory manager and asked, "Mingkai, what do you think now? Can you play?"
Zhu Kai let the factory manager make his own choice. He was not sure whether the factory manager wanted to go up for revenge or not.
The factory manager was silent for a few seconds, and finally made a decision with gritted teeth: "I will play!"
Although Hero had played before, the factory manager was also playing training games in case of emergency, so it was okay for him to play now.
After getting a positive answer, Zhu Kai went out to find the event group and report the lineup for the first game.
On the other side, in the live commentary booth, Jide and Rita were ready.
Jide said: "The upcoming game is the seventh week of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League. The former LPL king EDG will play against the newly formed LPL Top Esports team this season!"
Rita: "I think everyone has been waiting for this game for a long time. Judging from the current situation of the two teams, I think both teams have a chance to win. Top Esports is in a state of undefeated, while EDG has only lost one BO3. The two teams are ranked first and third."
Jide continued: "Top Esports is now focusing on the mid, top and jungle, and the bottom lane is a shortcoming. EDG's mid, jungle and bottom lane are all pretty good, and Mouse in the top lane is a little worse. But I feel that if EDG arranges the tactics well, they will have a chance."
Jide was stunned. He heard the news from the front, and then exclaimed: "Wait... According to the news I just received, EDG will send the factory manager to play the jungle in this game! My God, the factory manager is back, and he is against Xiaohuasheng!"
At this time, the barrage in the LPL official live broadcast room exploded directly:
[Here? That man is really here? ]
[I knew that the factory manager would play, he is a man who never admits defeat. ]
[Revenge S6 is today, Factory, I support you! ]
[From today on, Xiaohuasheng is no longer the nemesis of Factory! Factory has stood up from now on! ]
[The day of Factory's counterattack! ]
Many fans of Factory jumped out, because Factory Manager has not played during this period, many fans of Factory Manager chose not to speak out, making everyone think that Factory Manager has no fans.
But now, they jumped out again, expecting the factory manager to prove himself.
Remember the commentator said: "There are many highlights in this game, not only in the jungle position, the factory manager and Xiaohuasheng are facing each other again, the grudge game, and the love-hate relationship between former brothers, Faker and Scout."
Rita was amused: "What the hell is love-hate relationship? I think this should be called a test. Many people like to regard Scout as Faker's successor. Now Faker is here, try your gold content."
Remember: "Okay, without saying too much, let's welcome the players from both sides to the stage!"
Players from both sides came on stage, and Chen Yiqiu came to the stage with his teammates.
The audience cheered wildly:
"Top! Top! Top!"
"Reaper! Reaper! Reaper!"
"Seven consecutive wins, win!"
"Just like this, without losing a single game, aiming for the S championship!"
Then it was EDG. The director gave the factory manager a close-up when the EDG team came on stage.
The factory manager had a solemn expression, with a hint of luck in his hesitation, and the pressure was full.
"EDG! EDG! No one can stop you after this!"
"Zhaozhang, fly bravely, we will always be with you!"
"Take down Peanut today, and you will be the strongest jungler in LPL!"
"Break the curse, today!"
The players came to their respective positions, put on their headphones, and confirmed that they were ready. The first game officially began!
Entering the BP stage, this team Top Esports was on the red side, and EDG was on the blue side.
Entering the ban stage, TOP on the red side chose to target the bottom lane, banning Xayah, Rakan and Varus.
EDG on the blue side banned Olaf, Lee Sin and Troll, banning three junglers.
Seeing this scene, I remember that I started laughing: "To be honest, isn't this ban a bit outrageous? I remember that in S6, Peanut used Olaf and Lee Sin to beat the factory manager. Now that these two heroes are banned, isn't it exposing the factory manager's scars?"
Rita agreed: "It seems that there is such a suspicion. The factory manager is still not confident enough. However, what if the factory manager thinks that after banning these three heroes, he can beat Peanut? This is also possible."
In the official live broadcast room, the barrage was boiling:
[If you don't know how to comfort people, don't say it. The more you say, the more uncomfortable it will be. ]
[Why do these two people feel like they are being sarcastic? ]
[The factory should hold on and prove itself! ]
[Choose a horse and perform a classic horse stepping on flying arrows. ]
[No, you let Qiu Shen's captain out. Are you going to die? 】
I also remember noticing that there was no ban on Gangplank in this game, so he commented: "Ever since Qiu Shen used Gangplank in the opening game, it has set off a craze in LPL. He never got it in the subsequent games, but he actually released it this time. It's very strange."
Rita speculated: "Is it because EDG has thought of a way to deal with it? But I think it's unlikely, after all, Mouse is on the top lane."
Entering the hero selection stage, EDG on the blue side showed Gangplank on the first floor.
Seeing this scene, the commentator and the audience were not surprised.
Because no one thought EDG could really play Gangplank, but in the end EDG really locked it!
I remember exclaiming: "Ah? Why is this happening? EDG really locked Gangplank down. If he wanted to prevent Qiu Shen from playing, wouldn't it be better to just ban him?"
Rita was also skeptical: "Can Mouse really play Gangplank? To be honest, I have to put a big question mark. I haven't seen him play before, but some people say he has been practicing. Now he suddenly takes it out. Could it be his ultimate move?"
It was TOP's turn to choose. TOP got the small road combination of EZ and Tam on the first and second floors.
It was EDG's turn again. Wawa commented: "EDG got Caitlyn and Braum on the second and third floors. It's a very common choice."
"Then TOP got Zoe and Vampire on the third and fourth floors. What's going on? They got both mid and top. Are they deliberately not going to play jungle? You want to increase the strength of the factory manager?"
Rita agreed: "I think it's very likely. Before, the counter position on the fifth floor was usually given to Qiu Shen on the top lane. There must be a reason for the sudden change now."
It was EDG's turn again. EDG got Sejuani and Ryze on the fourth and fifth floors.
In this way, only Peanut's Mantis has not been determined.
The audience's focus is on him.
After some hesitation, Peanut made a choice: "Void Reaver, Kha'Zix!"
He wants to play Mantis!
Liu Qingsong didn't waste any words and directly locked on Mantis. In this way, the lineups of both sides were determined:
Red side TOP: top single Vampire, jungle Mantis, mid single Zoe, ADCEZ, support Tam.
Blue side EDG: top single Captain, jungle Sejuani, mid single Ryze, ADC Policewoman, support Braum.
I remember analyzing it: "We just said that TOP gave the fifth floor counter position to the jungler to increase the strength of the factory manager. Now it seems to be true. The hero Mantis is used in the jungle."
"And the pig girl that the factory manager got is a jungle hero with weak competitiveness in the jungle in the early stage. If the mantis invades, the pig girl really can't do anything."
Rita agreed: "Yes, it depends on the support speed of the online players on both sides, but in this regard, I still think TOP has more advantages, especially when they are far away from the bottom lane."
Entering the game screen, the director gave the summoner skills of ten people on both sides.
I remember exclaiming: "Both top laners brought Kleptomancy, so they are going to steal from each other? I can understand Gangplank bringing Kleptomancy, after all, Qiu Shen demonstrated it in the opening game."
"But why did Vampire also bring it, just because he was on the line with Gangplank? He looked down on Gangplank a little bit."
Rita continued: "I feel that it is easy to have that kind of situation, both sides are stealing from each other, resulting in the development of the top lane position being much better than other positions."
"No, in this game, Top EZ also brought Kleptomancy in the bottom lane, just like what is said on the Internet, this team really likes Kleptomancy."
Chen Yiqiu's Vampire chose Dark Seal to go out, and the director even gave a close-up.
Seeing this Dark Seal, the barrage in the official live broadcast room exploded:
[Dark Seal going out? This is not treating the opponent as a human, but as a pig. 】
[Fuck, Qisheng has such a bad temper, I won't tolerate him at all. 】
【I have a feeling that Qiu Shen will fail in this game.】
【You still want Qiu Shen to fail, you think too much, I think Gangplank will become EDG's breakthrough point.】
【Anyway, one of them will fail in this game, it depends on who it is.】
Coming to the top lane, Chen Yiqiu entered the bush on the line and walked all the way to the opposite bush.
Soon, the first wave of soldiers came, and Mouse's Gangplank followed the soldiers and went to the line happily.
While Mouse was not paying attention, Chen Yiqiu's vampire used a QA in the bush, triggering the stealing omen.
So Chen Yiqiu had an extra eye on him.
Remember to laugh: "Qiu Shen has never liked to insert eyes, he must sell this eye, Mouse wanted to fight back at the first time, but his hand speed was slow, and was pulled away by the vampire."
Chen Yiqiu stood in the opposite bush and did not come out. Mouse was not in a hurry. He knew that the vampire would definitely make a kill, so he went up to make a kill first and waited for the vampire to give him a chance.
As expected, after the melee soldier was at low health, the vampire came out, walked up, and used a Q...
But he didn't use it, and the vampire retreated again.
Mouse was about to go back to continue to kill, but the vampire used another QA.
The captain still didn't react and couldn't fight back.
I remember everyone laughed: "No, what is the captain doing? Why does he feel like he is being played like a monkey? The vampire was pulling back and forth, and the captain couldn't use a single skill."
Rita: "Now the vampire came out to kill, taking this opportunity, the captain used a Q, but didn't steal anything! What a pity." (End of this chapter)
