Chapter 180 Brother Mozi doesn’t need fans to lead the rhythm, he can lead it himself! (2 and 1)
EDG is in Group A, and SKT is also in Group A.
This result surprised everyone.
Zet timidly said: "If I understand correctly, are we in the same group as SKT? Is that what you mean?"
Abbu confirmed: "Well, that's the case, we are the number one seed, they He is the second seed and can be in the same group. No matter from any aspect, there is no problem with the result of the draw. "
As Abu said, the host did not correct or change the result on the screen, and the director continued to draw lots.
However, the director gave a close-up of the director's expression. It can be seen that the director's face is not very good-looking, and he is obviously not very satisfied with the result.
Although EDG defeated SKT in the MSI before, no one would want to encounter SKT in the S game.
Because SKT in the S game is so terrifying!
This is just like SI winning SKT against EDG, but in the S game, SKT showed a completely different state.
Some teams and some players, the more they are on the big stage, the more terrifying their strength is.
This point, a has certified Faker, and Faker is this kind of player.
Aguang suddenly said: "We...should be able to win. Even if we can't beat SKT, can we qualify second in the group?"
Meiko forced a smile: "It's okay, there will be no LCK or LPL teams in our group. The rest are either European and American teams, or wild cards. Anyway, as long as we can advance, we don't have to worry about other things."
Everyone calmed down and took a look before talking.
The factory director went down after the draw, and Group A was drawn to AHQ and a place in the finals.
We will know who has been assigned to Group A after the qualifying rounds are over.
Of course, there are avoidance rules in the same division, so the place in this qualifying round will not be WE. Among the remaining possibilities, there is no huge threat to EDG.
After the results of the draw came out, Abramovich greeted: "Now that the results are out, the ones currently in the same group as us are SKT and AHQ. Judging from the current situation, the result is not bad. SKT is our loser."
"As for AHQ, the strength of FW in their division can only be seen. They have always been dominated by FW. The following ones are not very strong, including AHQ, so there is no need to worry too much."
Everyone looked at each other, feeling that things were not that simple.
· Meiko commented: "I feel that LZ in Group B is really easy. They are either wild cards or European and American players."
· Zet said: "If you think about it this way, this is also a good thing for the LPL. No one wants to be in the same group as LZ."
Meiko nodded: "That's true."
Everyone started chatting, and after a while, the factory director came back.
· The director just walked in, everyone looked over, and Aguang started to complain: "Brother Mingkai, you are so lucky, I really don't know what to say, can't you draw a wild card, and then draw a third seed from North America?"
· Meiko said: "If you have to draw an LCK team, it is SSG. Ah, how can you beat SKT?"
Zet nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right."
The factory director said: "One of SI's subordinates was defeated, you are so scared."
"Hold the grass!" Everyone was shocked. Did the factory manager stand up completely?
As a result, the factory director immediately said again: "The worst thing is that the team will appear second in the group, and they can't beat SKT, and they can't beat AHQ?"
It is true that he has learned badly from Su Mo.
Abramovich began to make arrangements: "Now that the group results have come out, we will start targeted training. Our research on SKT has been very in-depth. This is actually a good thing, right? We have been studying S from S5 to now. KT can always come in handy. "
"Our current primary goal is to advance, nothing else compares to this. Come on, everyone, start from tonight and study the SKT Summer Split games several times in your free time."
Everyone returned to their respective positions and began to study SKT's game.
Su Mo knows SKT quite well. Rather than watching SKT’s games, he wants to see the current online rhythm.
Because Abramovich is much more professional than him in analyzing SKT.
In other words, other EDG players are more professional than him...
So, Su Mo chose to enter the Tieba - Anti-Pressure Bar to take a look.
As soon as he entered the Tieba, he saw a bunch of related posts.
Is there any grudge between #SKT and EDG? Always lined up together.
#What was not there before is now there.
#SKT’s Revenge! Just wait, you bastard, hahaha!
They were really unlucky. They were drawn into Group A, were the first to fight, and were drawn into SKT. They were simply invincible.
The next day, EDG put themselves into hard training. Of course, the main thing was the team training.
Su Mo is now responsible for his own training, euphemistically saying that he wants to study routines.
Because of their wonderful performance in the summer games, Abramovich and his teammates now don't care about Su Mo not training. Abu even wanted to know how Su Mo studied routines several times.
Su Mo naturally couldn't tell him the real reason, so Abu thought Su Mo was keeping it a secret.
In short, Su Mo can now fully control when he trains and realizes the true "freedom to work."
“Xiao Mo, the official promotional video is out. You can go to the video website to take a look.” Abu suddenly appeared behind Su Mo.
"Okay." Su Mo nodded.
A Guang, who was sitting next to Su Mo, became interested: "Brother Mo Zi, let's watch together. Did you say a lot of pretentious words?"
A Guang suddenly started to perform. He sat upright, with his head raised high, and his face was serious. His expression: "I am EDG's starting top laner, Mo. Fans usually call me Mo God, which means omnipotent." Su Mo couldn't stand it anymore: "No, I think they should really call you over and make a promotional video for you, which is more lively than me."
A Guang ignored Su Mo's teasing and continued to imitate Su Mo's tone: "You asked me if I have any players I admire? Yes, myself. I'm not targeting anyone. Everyone here is rubbish!"
Su Mo shook his head: "Okay, okay, you If you really say that, the female host will probably hit you. After all, she is probably a fan of Faker. "
"Huh? What do you mean, a Faker fan was sent to interview you? The official is deliberately trying to cause trouble!" A Guang's expression was exaggerated.
Su Mo: "Is there a possibility that Faker has too many fans, they are everywhere."
A Guang muttered: "That seems to be the case, brother Mo Zi, you need to cultivate more fans of your own, win a few more S crowns, and you can have fans everywhere."
Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "It's easy for you to say it."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and opened the website to search for the official Riot promotional video.
Soon, Su Mo found the latest promotional video, the legend will never die!
This is a big theme, and it is also divided according to players.
Su Mo saw Faker at a glance. As long as he comes to participate in the S game, he will definitely have a share.
The last one is Su Mo himself.
This video has very low views because it has just been uploaded.
Su Mo clicked and took a look, and then discovered something very scary. In the lower left corner, you can see that the number of people watching the video is fifty thousand, and this number is still rising!
It’s even more lively than when Faker appeared.
"Here! Let me see what's going on."
"Brother Mozi is so handsome!"
"Brother Mozi's gangsters have gathered!"
"Although Brother Mozi often makes people think, we should be able to see his serious and cool look this time."
Seeing these barrages, Su Mo smiled.
"Hey, Brother Mozi, what's going on with you? When you think about fans being so handsome by your interview, you can't help but want to laugh, right?" Abu said with a smile on his face.
Su Mo shook his head: "You'll know after watching it."
The playback started, with a very relaxed beginning. The interviewer came in and the two shook hands.
"Please sit down."
Then introduce yourself.
A Guang was already excited: "Oh, he is so handsome. If I have the opportunity to be interviewed, I will definitely make a look in advance."
However, soon, when the female host asked about talent, A Guang slowly felt that something was wrong.
"No, Brother Mozi, you are a bit pretentious during this interview. I'm afraid you will be criticized by Faker fans." Aguang said.
Su Mo said nonchalantly: "I'm just telling the truth, you know."
"Well... that's true. In my opinion, you are indeed more talented than Faker." A Guang was speechless.
At the same time, the barrage of this video is also changing:
"Here it comes! Brother Mozi has revealed his true nature, and he started to torture us!"
"Brother Mozi is a bit exaggerated, and he said he only trains for four hours a day, even the dogs don't believe it."
"Brother Mozi is like this, it's just a job, you don't know him yet. ”
“Brother Mo Zi said that he is more talented than Faker, I think it makes sense, Faker was not as strong as Brother Mo Zi when he debuted.”
“Haha, Faker has triple crown, what championship does Mo have?”
“I think there is nothing wrong with Brother Mo Zi, he just should stick to his own opinion.”
……
Su Mo also had a headache when he saw the quarrel in the barrage.
It can be seen that the number of Faker fans is really exaggerated...
But there is one advantage, that is...
[Get torture points +10 from the audience]
[Get +10 torture points from the audience]
That’s pretty good!
As long as this video remains on the Internet and people continue to watch it, it will continue to reap torture points.
After watching the video, Su Mo watched other people's videos again.
· In addition to Faker, LCK also interviewed Ambition, the leader of the team.
But the comments below the video of Ambition are interesting:
"I have been a supporting role all my life. I have been stepped on by Brother Li since S3." Because the success of others is used as a stepping stone. "
"That EDG Mo actually said that SSG is better than SKT, which is hilarious. It seems that the stepping stones will sympathize with each other."
There are almost no Ambition fans in the comments below, they are all Faker fans showing off their superiority.
This is how e-sports is. If you don’t win the championship, the more famous you become, the worse you will be, and you will become the main target of ridicule from fans of the championship.
Su Mo watched all the videos. Except for the one that caused a lot of controversy, the other videos were quite normal.
Su Mo was watching when suddenly, the door of the training room was pushed open, and the factory director walked in quickly to find Su Mo:
"Xiao Mo, have you seen the video?" It feels wrong, maybe they didn’t edit it well and posted all your pretentious words. It’s so unprofessional.”
Even if you know Su Mo’s habits, it’s still hard to understand that there are people who are so unafraid of being sprayed.
节奏都不用别人来带，自个儿就带上了……
「算了，你自个玩吧，我不管了。」厂长撂下一句话后，便一溜烟走了。
Su Mo lay on the e-sports chair, opened the forum, and entered the anti-stress bar, wanting to see the feedback of e-sports people on this video.
At this moment, he saw something interesting.
There is a post summarizing the reactions of various clubs when they saw the draw results.
When the major clubs watch the draw live, someone will record it, and these videos will be put on their respective video accounts by the major clubs.
Of course, some words or images that are not suitable for children will be edited to a certain extent.
The first one posted under this post was RNG. When RNG saw the result of the draw, they started to celebrate directly:
"Nais! Brothers Ness!"
The following comments:
"What a good draw! I was assigned to an SSG, and I feel that RNG has a great chance of ranking first in the group."
"Didn't Brother Mozi say that SSG is very strong? Even stronger than Dragon Ball."
"Brother Mozi is your father? Whatever he says is what he says?"
"He is just a beast with a human mentality."
"He is my father! Do you understand the value of the God of War?"
First of all, we showed the pictures of everyone in EDG. They all looked normal. When the director went up to draw lots, it was also normal.
However, when the factory director took SKT out, his expression changed.
Comments below:
"Hahahahaha, EDG was scared to death."
"It's over! It's over, it's SKT! We're finished!"
"SKT is back, it feels like the plot of S5 is going to be repeated."
"I asked why things this year are so familiar, it turns out to be the plot of S5."
Sure enough, most people still don't believe EDG's performance in the S game.
It can only be said that EDG's performance in the past two years has been too low. It is impossible to reverse this stereotype without winning an S championship.
Su Mo continues to look down, the next one is SKT!
It feels like EDG and SKT were put together intentionally.
When SKT saw that it was EDG, everyone was celebrating!
Huni jumped up immediately! I clenched my fists and cheered, feeling as if I had already defeated EDG.
Comments below:
"SKT’s revenge moment!"
"Your name is EDG, right? Wait for me!"
"I gave EDG a championship at MSI, and I don't know who I am anymore?"
"SKT's three consecutive championships, let's start with EDG!"
Keep reading, there are more exciting things.
When teams from the wild card division like GAM are placed in Group C, in the same group as Longzhu.
Everyone in the training room was silent.
With big eyes and small eyes, a breath of despair filled the room.
Although it is just a dynamic picture and not very clear, you can feel the despair across the screen.
Read the comments below:
"This is so hopeless. How could anyone be so unlucky?"
h "The sense of oppression brought by the LCK No. 1 seed is suffocating!"
h "If I were them, I would be scared to death, that's Dragon Ball!"
h "In this group, I think winning one game is considered a success. Facing Dragon Ball, being able to get one kill is considered a success."
There are many people on the Internet who are talking about Dragon Ball. There is no need to mention other things. Just one, the name of the LCK No. 1 seed team is enough to scare most people.
In addition, Khan, the top laner who broke the historical record of single kills in the LCK, CUZZ, the talented jungler who ranked first in the Korean server at the age of 16, BDD, Faker's successor, and the two strongest bottom laners in the LCK, Xuan Ming.
Once these things are taken out, most people will indeed be unable to withstand them and will definitely be afraid.
At the same time, as long as SSG and LZ are discussed on the Internet, someone will inevitably bring Su Mo out and "whip his body."
Just because Su Mo said that SSG is the strongest in the LCK, Dragon Ball fans, SKT fans, RNG fans...
They will all use this matter to ridicule Su Mo.
Su Mo continued to look and saw another interesting thing, the top twenty contestants!
The top 20 players will be announced in every S competition. This post starts from the 20th place, and you can see some players from Europe and the United States.
The further we look forward, the more players there are in the LPL.
Soon, Su Mo saw his own!
Eleventh place, EDG, Mo.
Eleven is a very embarrassing existence.
It is not enough compared to the superior, but more than adequate compared to the inferior.
Eleventh place is actually the same as twentyth place, because neither of them is in the top ten.
Looking ahead, Pilsen is tenth.
The front is basically players from LPL and LCK.
Meiko is ninth, BDD is sixth, and Xiaohu is fifth.
Su Mo was a little surprised when he saw Xiaohu ranked fifth.
The ranking is quite high.
Khan is the fourth place, Gorilla is the third place, and Pray is the second place!
Half of the top six are from Dragon Ball!
At the same time, the five starting players of Longzhu are all among the top 20 players.
It seems that the official is also very optimistic about Longzhu. If you just look at this ranking, Longzhu will crush other teams.
Finally, first place, Faker!
No surprises.
Su Mo glanced at the following comment:
"I would say that people like Mo who only know how to play bad tricks should be looked down upon by everyone."
He dared to play a shooter in front of UZI and beat UZI, and I admired him."
"Brother Mo Zi can't be ranked first, but he must be second. In my mind, he is on par with Faker."
"Brothers who are incomparable to Faker, triple crown champions!"
"..."
These comments made Su Mo smile slightly.
This ranking made Su Mo quite suspicious as to whether some of the judges had been influenced by him.
But it doesn’t matter, because this list of the top twenty players is also called a slap-in-the-face list.
It means that the people who rank high on this list every year will not get good results in the end.
In addition to the top twenty list, Su Mo saw another thing, the team combat effectiveness ranking list.
The first one is naturally Dragon Ball, with a comprehensive score of 1765 points.
The second place is SKT, with a comprehensive score of 1436 points.
The third place is EDG, with a comprehensive score of 1326 points.
…
Just by seeing the gap between the first and second place, Su Mo knew how much the person who made this score admired Dragon Ball.
It feels like the Dragon Ball team has gone beyond the Three Realms and is no longer in the Five Elements.
Any team that comes into contact with them will be shattered into pieces.
Other teams are here to compete for second place, and the champion has long been booked by Longzhu.
One week passed quickly, and the qualifying round was over.
WE also made it into the main match without any risk and were assigned to Group D, which is the group where FW is located.
And Group A, where EDG is located, was assigned
This is not important to EDG, because WE cannot be divided, and the remaining teams are actually similar.
Su Mo was watching the rhythm on the Internet, and his teammates ended a training match:
"Zhu Cao, is this GAM so strong? I almost lost."
"Now the wild card The competition area is very good, including the MSF in front. "
"It's hard to beat, it's really hard to beat."
At this moment, Abramovich's voice came: "I'll tell you some good news, the schedule is out."
Hearing this, everyone didn't react much. Anyway, in the group stage, you need to play two other teams in the same group. It's just a difference in order, and you can't escape it.
Abu continued: "The opening match is when we play SKT."
"Pfft..." Aguang, who was drinking water, spit it out on the screen.
Meiko also looked horrified: "Is it a deliberate arrangement? We will play the opening game with SKT?"
Abu explained: "It was a deliberate arrangement. The official also specifically told me that they believe in our ability of EDG and we defeated SKT at MSI."
"On the other hand, as the number one seed in the LPL region, if we can beat SKT, the triple crown champion, it will greatly improve the morale of our region."
Zet then issued a soul torture: "What if we lose?"
Abramovich said: "Only success, no failure!"
There are three days left before the opening game.
· EDG people are training day and night.
Just to win the opening game.
Of course, this is just for the so-called morale of the competition area, and also for EDG itself.
If you can win against SKT once, your chances of advancing will be very high, because the remaining two teams are unlikely to win against SKT.
Three days passed quickly.
2017 League of Legends Global Finals Group Stage, Day 1.
At noon, everyone in EDG had something to eat at the hotel to cushion their stomachs. Everyone checked their peripherals, put them in their bags, then put their bags on their backs, and gathered in the corridor to make sure everyone was there.
Then Abu waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Everyone quickly walked to the elevator entrance and pressed the button.
The elevator came down, the elevator door opened, but it was full of people.
Su Mo saw an acquaintance at a glance.
Faker!
In addition, the entire SKT team is here.
“Coach Kkoma, you go first.” Abu greeted politely.
"Okay, bye." The elevator door closed again and went off.
「Holding the grass.」Zet suddenly came up with a national quintessence.
The elevator next to it came up. Everyone in EDG got on the elevator and went directly to the first floor.
The lobby on the first floor of the hotel is very busy at this time. Today is the first day of the group stage, and there is a simple opening ceremony.
The sixteen teams participating in the group stage will all go to the venue to appear.
There are at least seven or eight teams in the hall waiting to set off.
"Coach Abu." A familiar voice came, and I saw Hongmi coming with the entire WE team.
“Coach Hongmi.” Abu greeted.
957 came over and found Su Mo: "Brother Mozi, you are playing SKT in the opening game. We will cheer you on in the bottom lane and show the style of our LPL division!"
957 responded: "If we lose... then the enemy is too strong, try our best!"
Everyone laughed.
Hongmi suggested: "Let's go together, Manager Abu."
"Okay."
Hongmi So the two teams walked out together. Abu greeted the driver of the EDG car and asked him to go directly. Everyone in EDG sat on the WE car.
Abu and Hongmi are discussing how to deal with the three LCK teams.
The team members are also chatting with each other.
957 said: "I feel that Huni is the weakest among the three LCK top laners. I think many LCK top laners who have not come are better than him."
Su Mo nodded: "Well, I feel the same."
957 continued: "Brother Mo Zi, I am online I saw the official promotional video online, and I feel that the host deliberately led you to pretend to create a topic, and the public opinion is not good for you! "
Kandi came over and said: "I also watched that promotional video, and I have never seen anything like it. The number of views of other promotional videos is higher than yours, such as Faker's, but the number of comments is much less than yours."
957 praised: "Brother Mozi is a popularity harvester. A high number of views can only mean a high reputation. The number of comments and comments can determine the quality. No wonder your live broadcast is so popular. There is a reason." "Brother Mo Zi, do you know how to play jungle in this version? Can you give me some tips?"
Su Mo shook his head: "I don't have much research on the version now. I just take it step by step."
Kandi and 957 exchanged glances. Although they didn't say anything, Su Mo could tell that they definitely thought he didn't say anything on purpose.
957 started to say nice things: "Brother Mozi, we are comrades now. What did Mr. Zhao say before we set off? We want to keep the trophy in the LPL, and we have to work together."
Su Mo sighed helplessly: "What I said is true. I have not studied these questions. Coach Abu knows better than me. You can talk to him.
After a while, the bus arrived at the parking lot of the competition venue. The EDG and WE teams got off the bus and went straight to their respective lounges.
After entering the lounge, everyone in EDG put down their things and now they are waiting for the game to start.
Su Mo took out his mobile phone and entered the official live broadcast room of the S competition to take a look.
GG has now started to be broadcast, and the popularity of the live broadcast room is rising rapidly, reaching more than 100 million!
Humbling on Weibo again, Su Mo saw various analysis posts for the opening game, all analyzing the outcome of this game.
Su Mo found one with more comments and went in to take a look.
As before, analyze from top to bottom, one by one.
Su Mo saw something similar when he was at MSI.
Su Mo's situation is quite special. He can play in various positions, so he will be compared four times, except for the auxiliary position.
The difference from before is that this time the evaluation of Su Mo is much lower.
Basically, he is not as good as his opponent, or in other words, he is not as good as anyone...
The reason is simple: "Pretentious, poor character, only able to play routines, and poor game understanding."
The previous negative comments were due to the documentary, in which Su Mo said that he was more talented than Faker.
The reason for the difficulty in understanding the later games is that Su Mo believes that SSG is stronger than SKT and Dragon Ball.
Hence, they lowered their rating for Su Mo. It was basically 46, 37, and he couldn't beat anyone.
When meeting Faker, it immediately becomes a one-nine draw, even if Su Mo defeated Faker in MSI...
Su Mo is not surprised, because Faker's fans and SKT's fans are huge, especially around the world.
If you only look at the LPL, EDG can compete with SKT now, but in the world, they are not at the same level at all, and their popularity is at least an order of magnitude lower.
So it is completely understandable to support SKT one-sidedly.
Su Mo was looking at his cell phone. Suddenly, the door of the lounge was pushed open and Rita appeared at the door. She knocked on the door: "Dong dong dong... Excuse me, can I come in?"
Abu nodded: "Rita, please come in."
As soon as she appeared, everyone in EDG moved their eyes neatly in one direction.
Rita walked in quickly and expressed her intention to Abu: "Coach Abu, before the game starts, can I conduct an exclusive interview with you live?"
Abu responded: "Yes."
Rita took out her mobile phone and said at the same time: "This is the task given to me by the platform. I will start the broadcast in a moment."
After the broadcast started, Rita warmed up first, and after most of the audience came in, she said mysteriously:
"Dang, clang, clang...guess where I am and who this is."
Speaking, Rita turned the camera over and pointed it at Su Mo.
The barrages in the live broadcast room are growing rapidly:
"Hold the grass, Brother Mozi!!"
"Brother Mozi, can you win? Rita, ask him if he can beat SKT."
"Where will Brother Mozi play today?"
"Can you kill Faker alone?"
Rita walked up to Su Mo and greeted, "Brother Mo Zi, everyone is looking forward to you."
Su Mo put down his mobile phone: "Thank you for your support. You can ask any questions you have."
Rita turned into an audience member and said: "Brother Mo Zi, someone from the audience asked you, have you decided what position to play today?"
Su Mo shook his head: "It hasn't been decided yet."
Rita was stunned: "Ah, the game is about to start, it hasn't been decided yet!"
The factory director reminded at this time: "The starting top laner, he is the starting top laner."
"Yeah, I almost forgot, if there is no accident, then Brother Mo Zi should be the top laner." Rita said with a smile.
"Not necessarily..." Su Mo shook his head. He was not sure whether the system would suddenly give him a task and let him go to another route.
Of course, if the system doesn't act like a monster, then he will just be the top laner.
