Abu commented: "It's not bad, at least there is some back-and-forth."
"Don't forget what I just explained. Please give me more suggestions during the review."
Soon, everyone in EDG returned to the lounge. The five of them seemed a little depressed, and Meiko was comforting the others.
Abu greeted: "Come here first, let's review the game."
So everyone stood up one after another, and Abu began to adjust the progress bar, starting from the first wave of mistakes.
Abu looked back at the factory director, who began to explain. Jiejie nodded while listening, like a student.
After the director finished speaking, Iboy also added a few words.
Su Mo remained silent.
When the review was over, Su Mo still remained silent.
Abu looked at Su Mo: "Xiao Mo, what do you want to say on the road? You can give Ray some advice."
Su Mo said, "I think it's good to play, just don't feel pressured."
Su Mo said this, and everyone in EDG was unexpected.
But no one dares to question whether there is really no problem at all.
Su Mo looked at the director: "The factory will watch your performance next time."
So after a short break, the second game began. This time EDG made a substitution, and the director was replaced.
It becomes three old people and two newcomers.
The player appears and enters BP.
The factory director directly took out Reksai, and Su Mo commented: "Is the factory really here? Reksai has already been selected."
At the same time, Rex's combat effectiveness in the jungle is also very strong in the early stage of the game. When encountering a weak jungler, he can counterattack without thinking.
In the bottom lane, Neeko was banned by the opponent, and Hope got Lucian.
Just at this moment, Su Mo's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it, and found that it was a group message from Mozi Interactive Entertainment Studio. He clicked on it and took a look.
Luo Xin: "Brother Mo Zi, you didn't come? Is it really okay?"
Su Mo: "It's okay. Watch the director's performance. He knows how to be successful."
After the BP ended, Abu came back and asked: "Xiao Mo, do you think you can win this one?"
Su Mo took a look at Snake's lineup and got Olaf.
Su Mo said: "In the jungle, it is definitely true. Olaf has strong fighting ability, but Olaf's GANK ability is relatively poor. I feel that it is possible that Snake has the advantage in the jungle, but there is a problem online."
Entering the game screen, the director gave a shot to the director.
At this time, the factory director didn't know what he was saying. He kept talking for a long time, as if he was setting up tactics.
Iboy joked: "Has the factory director ever been so verbose before? Is it because there are newcomers, so he wants to show off."
Su Mo responded: "It's very possible."
Abu said: "I guess it's mainly because you didn't get up, Xiao Mo. If you got up, you would be the main player and let you set the rhythm."
As Su Mo thought, the director has a good rhythm and has been doing things. However, although he was defeated by the director's jungle, he was suppressed a lot by last hits.
But these are the results of the pressure put on by teammates. In the end, Snake and others were very poorly developed, and the jungler developed on his own.
Then the game entered the middle stage of the teamfight, and Snake was defeated like a mountain.
EDG began to expand its advantages.
However, just when everyone thought that EDG could win this game, Hope's Lucian suddenly made a move, handed over his E skill and rushed to operate the opponent's ADC, but was counter-killed by Snake's people.
Snake took the opportunity to fight the dragon.
Abu was dumbfounded: "No, what are you doing? Is he crazy? He wants to rush forward and send a wave in a game that can be won by playing steadily?"
Su Mo said: "Young people, like to express themselves, it is normal."
It became Snake's advantage. Snake held a meeting and pushed back, and something outrageous happened again.
Last time, Hope was too aggressive and was counter-killed by the opponent. This time, he did not dare to deal damage. He hid while his teammates were being beaten, which resulted in EDG being unable to win a teamfight and being beaten by a wave to end the game.
Abu was fuming: "What is this Hope doing? Her mental quality is too bad, ugh!"
Taking into account that Hope is still a newbie, Abu can only rein in his temper.
As a result, EDG lost to Snake, which most people did not expect.
After all, Snake's current lineup is generally not favored by people, and Snake is positioned as a mid-range team.
The so-called mid-range teams naturally cannot enter the top five.
As for EDG, their positioning is at least in the top three, so losing to Snake is definitely an upset.
Soon, the five people who played in the game came back. The director's face looked a little ugly, as if he had eaten a fly.
With such a good rhythm in the early stage, who would have thought that the ADC would suddenly send a wave and completely ruin the game.
This is a jungle mentality.
Su Mo greeted: "Factory, how do you feel?"
The director of the factory said nothing and just shook his head.
said: "Today's game is over. Judging from the current situation, we still have a lot to improve. We should seize the time to train. Although it is only the spring season, time flies."
"There are not many games for you to train in a season. Cherish every time you can play."
Su Mo glanced at Hope. Hope was hiding behind and didn't dare to stand up. It seemed like it was a big blow to him.
· Everyone in EDG packed up their things, left the game together, and then went back to review the game. After the review, there was training.
While everyone else was playing training matches, Su Mo entered the Tieba to take a look.
As expected, there is a lot of cursing in the Tieba forum.
"What kind of geniuses did EDG find? This Hope is too good to give away."
"It's better to have Iboy. If it doesn't work, just let Iboy play. Don't waste other people's expressions."
"I feel that Ray is quite mediocre. He wins and loses."
"I'm quite satisfied with this Jiejie. I think he's a good prospect."
"It's almost okay, he's just a waste that was played around."
Su Mo is not surprised. As long as he doesn't perform well in a game, there will be a lot of criticism on the Internet.
· Resisting pressure is an essential quality for professional players. This pressure resistance not only refers to the competition field, but also in real life, especially the public opinion field.
Suddenly, Abramovich's voice came: "The production of last year's champion skin went very smoothly. There is already a prototype. I have received the demonstration video from Riot Games. If you have time, take a look at it and make suggestions for modifications."
Hearing this, last year's championship team all wanted to love action and receive the video from Abramovich.
Su Mo received a demonstration video of the champion skin EDG Akali.
Su Mo clicked on the video and saw that the character model appeared first, wearing black and white clothes, similar to the color scheme of EDG's team logo.
There are quite a lot of character details, for example, there is an "O" letter on the mask, and the lines on the forehead and the eyes form an "M", which is Su Mo's ID!
If it were in a game, you might have to zoom in a little to see it clearly.
Let's start to demonstrate the movements. First is the return movement. First, form a seal on the spot. When the countdown is about to end, throw an E skill in the polar direction, Falcon Dance! Then he flew over and disappeared! The next second he appeared in the spring.
It is actually linked to skills.
“It’s a bit interesting.” Su Mo commented.
Continuing to look back, the dance demonstration suddenly shrank a little, and a Lucian and a wine barrel appeared in front of him. Akali handed over the second stage of her ultimate move, and the wine barrel came forward. Akali retreated with her E skill to avoid it, and Falcon Dance hung on Lucian.
This scene is so familiar to Su Mo! Isn't this the famous scene "Flying Thunder God"?
Fist actually put this wave of operations into the champion skin!
Although the characters have all shrunk by one size, it is clear that they are indeed the ones from the Flying Thunder God.
After killing Lucian instantly, an EDG mark will appear.
"Okay." Su Mo was quite satisfied. The designer was very attentive.
Then there is the skill demonstration, the Q skill is more gorgeous, and after the W skill is turned on, there is an EDG icon below, which is translucent.
E skill is fine when it misses, but when it hits a hero, a bloody kunai will appear above the opponent's head, which seems to be a warning of death.
As for the ultimate move, there are relatively few special effects and are completely in black and white, highlighting a chilling atmosphere.
Su Mo thought about it, Akali is a ninja after all, and usually assassinates quietly, so it would be inappropriate to make her assassination too flashy.
However, there is a five-kill special effect at the end!
After Akali completes the pentakill, the opponent's screen will suddenly darken. Although it will not affect the observation of the game process, it will create an atmosphere. Akali must be very fat if she can kill five times, and a very fat Akali puts a lot of pressure on C.
With this special effect, the psychological pressure will be even greater.
Su Mo turned around and said hello after reading: "There is nothing wrong with my Akali."
The director complained: "Why do I feel like there is nothing wrong with your skin? I have a lot of questions."
Su Mo smiled: "Maybe it's because my requirements are relatively low."
The director denied: "Definitely not, my requirements are not high. Besides, your skin was obviously the best last year, how could it be because your requirements are low."
Abu smiled and said: "The answer to this question is actually very simple. Guess how many employees at Riot Games are fans of Xiao Mo now?"
"You must work harder to make a skin for your idol, right."
When Abu said this, Su Mo suddenly understood why so many of his personal elements were added to this skin. In fact, other skins generally only have one signature event related to the champion player.
After the championship skin matter was settled, everyone in EDG continued training.
The Spring Split will continue as usual. In the first half month, all major clubs will be rotating and testing.
Hence, the rankings are very confusing, and there is no clear gap between them. Each major team has its own winner and loser.
Perhaps a team that has won three consecutive games will suddenly lose to a team that has lost three games in a row. It’s just so unstable.
Including EDG, after all, EDG is also playing rotation, and Su Mo rarely appears.
Until the middle of the Spring Split and into the second half, major clubs began to stabilize. After all, they had to focus on competing for a spot in the playoffs. It would be impossible if they didn’t work hard.
LPL game scene, backstage, in the EDG lounge.
EDG Everyone put their things and found a place to sit down.
Before Su Mo's buttocks were hot, Abramovich walked up to him and said: "Xiao Mo, we must win this BO3, otherwise we will be under too much pressure in the following schedule. We are now fifth. This is not the position our EDG should be in."
Su Mo nodded: "Well, I'll try my best."
Abu was anxious: "This is not a matter of trying our best, we have to ensure victory!"
"Fans and bosses have been very emotional recently. Our results are indeed not good, so I'll leave it to you."
Abu patted Su Mo on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
Now EDG fans are madly questioning EDG's rotation strategy. Abramovich is afraid to go online anymore, and he will be scolded whenever he goes online.
And it’s different from before. In the past, rotation was Su Mo’s idea, but now it’s Abu’s own idea. The main purpose is to give newcomers as many learning opportunities as possible.
But the fans don't allow it. After all, EDG is the double champion. The fans have high expectations and have less tolerance for losing games.
The factory director came over and greeted: "Xiao Mo, JDG's mid laner, Zoom, you should know, this person is very strong."
Su Mo nodded: "Then what?"
The factory director continued: "Aren't I worried that you can't beat me? If you feel the pressure on the lane is high, you can ask Jiejie to go to the top lane to help you."
Su Mo smiled: "It's a provocation method, right? You think I'll be fooled."
The factory director shrugged: "If you say that, I can't help it. In short, don't hold it in. If you really feel that you can't beat it, just like a teammate asking for help. We are all on the same team and should help each other."
Su Mo quietly watched the factory director's performance. Is this still a provocation method?
Soon, the factory director himself could no longer act, and the corners of his mouth began to tremble and he almost laughed out loud.
Su Mo looked at Jiejie: "Xiaojie, just play your own way and don't listen to the factory's nonsense."
Jiejie nodded.
On the other side, in the JDG lounge, everyone in JDG was discussing.
I saw mid laner Yagao saying: “EDG’s official blog has given us today’s starting lineup. Brother Mozi is going to play, and he is in the top lane position. Are you feeling pressured?”
Yagao looked at a fat man next to him. Although he was fat, he was very impressive. His brows were domineering, and at the same time, there was a hint of youthfulness.
Zoom, JDG’s first top laner!
“It’s okay.” Zoom’s answer was very simple.
Yagao came over and teased: "You're okay? Let me see if you're scared to death."
Zoom blocked Yagao's hand and responded: "I think you should worry about whether the middle lane will be blown up. Scout has great pressure on the lane."
Yagao seems to be very confident: "It's okay, I can handle it. I can't beat him, am I still not good at development?
"Besides, I haven't watched his game ten times but eight times. As long as he sees what hero he gets, I will know how he is going to play right away."
Yagao is not bragging when he says this. In fact, Scout has become a mentor to many mid laners and players. After all, he is a double champion mid laner. Many people watch his games and learn from RANK and improve.
As an assistant, Lu Mao came over and said: "Yagao, I'm here to help you in the middle lane. Aren't they going to take that Hope in the bottom lane? This person doesn't feel good. We don't have any pressure in the bottom lane."
Yagao was very happy now. He said: "No problem, come on, let's see how I can trick Scout!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zoom stood up and shook his legs: "Let's fight hard and win EDG."
"Hold the grass!" Yagao exclaimed.
This tone is too bland, as if winning EDG is not something worth saying out loud.
