The game was about to start, and everyone present at AHQ felt quite uneasy.

Needless to say, EDG's strength this year is even higher than SKT in foreign media evaluations.

Although foreign media lists have the potential to be toxic, there is no smoke without fire. EDG's performance this year is somewhat known to other regions.

And with their strength, it would be a disaster against the EDG team.

On this point, the AHQ team is still self-aware.

The AHQ coach glanced at several AHQ players, took a deep breath, and said: "We are about to face EDG. What do you want to say?"

Bottom shooter An and assistant Albis looked at each other and shook their heads.

An: "I heard that EDG's current shooter can't even beat Bang..."

As a two-time AD champion, Bang is the benchmark for many AD players.

Now that Bang can't even beat them, An and Albis are naturally a bit timid.

They are very clear about their own strength. They have it, but not much.

There are still a dozen leagues in their own division, but in the World Championships, the intensity of competition has increased by at least two levels.

At this time, they naturally began to murmur in their hearts.

Hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, and the AHQ coach frowned. He didn't expect the player to answer like this.

Generally speaking, professional players have their own pride. Even if they can't beat them, they won't say it outright. As a result, their bottom lane duo has already given in before the match begins.

Putting aside the difference in strength between the two sides, they have already lost in terms of momentum.

Thinking this, the AHQ coach gave mid laner Ximen a look.

Ximen is a veteran of AHQ and the leader of the team. He once single-killed Faker with a Murloc.

It can be said that his prestige in the AHQ team is no lower than that of the coach. In a sense, Ximen is the backbone of AHQ.

Ximen understood, stood up from his seat, and told everyone about his glorious story of killing Faker alone.

"Back then, when Faker was at his peak, no one thought highly of me when I was playing against Faker, but guess what?

I'm going to kill him alone! I'm going to kill him alone! The big devil is not easy to use either."

"What are you afraid of? No matter how good the newcomer from EDG is, how good can he be? Is he as good as Faker back then?"

"Everyone uses a keyboard and mouse to play games. Does he have more hands or eyes than you? If you attack him, won't he still lose blood?"

…

Simon was very excited and became more and more excited as he talked.

The AHQ coach also echoed: "Our coaching staff is also prepared. Although the EDG team is very strong, they rely entirely on their midfielder and carry. The two players in the upper and jungle are nothing to be afraid of.

With Ximen in the mid lane, don’t worry too much. We just need to hold on to the bottom lane, and our jungler will break through them from the top lane.

By then, we won’t necessarily lose the game.”

Ximen and the AHQ coach sang together and finally brought back the morale of the team members.

But in fact, the main reason why the two of them were able to bring back their morale was that they did not act aimlessly, but actually prepared something.

The strongest point of AHQ is the upper jungle. Coupled with an experienced mid laner like Ximen, overall, although the upper limit is not high, the lower limit is definitely stable.

In other words, as long as they choose a lineup that will work hard in the later stage and wait until the later stage, they can at least have a chance to compete with EDG instead of having no chance of winning.

Seeing the light in the players' eyes, the AHQ coach secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Even if everyone doesn't think highly of us, we have to defeat EDG to prove ourselves."

"come on!"

"come on!"

The entire AHQ team stood up, folded their hands together, and shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, the coach took the lead and walked out of the lounge.

"rush!"

…

When the two teams entered the stadium, the audience suddenly burst into amazing cheers.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

"EDG! EDG!"

"I finally went to EDG to play a game. How long have I been waiting for it?"

The entire stadium was filled with cheers for EDG, and the sounds were like ocean waves, rising and falling one after another.

Even, there were bursts of echoes.

The entire AHQ team looked at each other with extremely heavy hearts.

This is home field advantage!

At the LPL home court, just the overwhelming cheers from the audience can make opponents feel tons of pressure.

Offline competition and online competition are completely two concepts.

Some players are like gods of war when playing online.

But when you go offline, your hand holding the mouse may tremble.

On the EDG side, when he heard the overwhelming cheers, Yezi immediately smacked his tongue and said, "How many people came here today?"

Factory Director: “I don’t know how many people came, but it is definitely the most popular one since the previous S competition.”

Meikou smiled: "I heard someone calling my name."

The other team members also smiled. At this moment, they were the absolute protagonists in the field.

Everyone calmly walked to the contestants' bench, and the factory director took a breath: "Brothers, make a name for yourself today."

Everyone knows what this S-game means. Compared with the World Championship at LPL’s home court, the league is like a child’s play house.

Regardless of the fact that EDG has been winning in the league, it cannot attract fans from other teams at all.

But winning a game in the World Championship is different. In the eyes of the audience, beating your own team is not a skill, but beating teams from other regions is.

Therefore, if they can achieve a good result in the World Championship, their fan base will definitely grow explosively.

The players took their seats and started debugging the equipment.

At this time, Yezi suddenly noticed the ID of the opponent's mid laner.

Westdoor——Ximen Night Talk.

The one who killed Faker alone?

Yezi's eyes flashed. He was able to kill Faker alone at that time, which proved that this mid laner still had some strength.

If he remembered correctly, Ximen Ye said that he would have a long time to play professionally.

For such a long time, no matter how strong a player is, it is impossible to maintain his peak condition.

Is AHQ crazy? It sent such a veteran, but Yezi quickly thought of the factory director.

If you compare the factory director and Ximen, what do they have in common?

Without a doubt, that's the game experience.

For a veteran who has been playing for so many years, the hero pool and game experience will definitely not be a problem.

Although Scout is strong and has better handling, Ximen may not give him a chance to carry.

Moreover, in his impression, the junior student used Lucian to beat Ximen... and lost in the end.

Thinking of this, Ye Zi was thoughtful.

…

Commentary seat.

The commentary on the first day was naturally the signature combination - Doll Miller.

Although they have already commented on several games, the two of them still looked excited.

"The long-awaited team has come out. As the finale team on the first day of the group stage, EDG will face the AHQ team from the LMS division.

Hello everyone, I am the commentator for this game."

"I'm Miller."

"In terms of strength, EDG has the advantage. As long as it performs normally, I believe EDG can securely win this point."

"Yes, but don't be careless. AHQ mid laner sent veteran Ximen Ye to say, I believe everyone is familiar with this ID. This player once single-killed Faker."

"Moreover, the AHQ team mainly relies on the top and jungle to drive the rhythm, so we should pay attention to this."

"However, the commentator absolutely trusts EDG's bottom lane duo. Everyone has seen the performance of Z Shen and Sister Duan in the league. I believe they will not disappoint us today."

"Without further ado, you can see that both players have debugged their equipment and started BP."

Everyone's eyes turned.
Chapter completed!
