Chapter 229 Faker counterattacks, the final battle!

When Yezi made harsh words, the outside world had already started a heated discussion.

The skin bureau, declaring war on SKT in a condescending manner... no matter which one is enough to attract the audience's attention.

In the past, if any team dared to say such things in public, they would most likely be criticized verbally and in writing.

But now, the results EDG has achieved are making people speechless.

Having won five games in a row...and winning most of the games quite easily, EDG now has the qualification to be "arrogant".

Of course, this is just to create some after-dinner talk for the outside world. The final result will be determined by the results of the competition.

However, now that the words have been spoken, it means raising the stakes...it's not scary to talk nonsense, whoever loses will be embarrassed.

What can be expected is that the matchup between SKT and EDG is more than just a simple group stage match. No matter who wins or loses, the two teams will be greatly affected by external opinions.

…

The interview ended, and Yates returned to the EDG backstage lounge.

"Only bring big rhythm, right?"

Seeing Yezi coming back, Abu couldn't help but joke. He thought he was already an expert in leading the rhythm, but he didn't expect that Yezi could lead better than him.

"I'm afraid the audience will be bored, so let's have some fun." Ye Zi didn't take it seriously.

What's this? It's become normal to say harsh things before games in future generations. What about the team that said it would not lose a game in the next game, but ended up not winning the last game?

Every time he thinks about this, even Yezi can't help but feel embarrassed for them.

Meike: "SKT is probably going to be pissed to death."

A smile appeared on the director's face: "I'm thinking that if SKT loses, they will probably be blasted by their fans."

Everyone nodded.

Trolling is not exclusive to the LPL. There are also many trolls in the LCK, and just like the LPL, fans also have their own teams to support, and not everyone likes SKT.

When some people want SKT to win, there are also people who want SKT to lose, so that they can jump out and ridicule.

Even the relationship between LCK teams is the same.

Yezi clearly remembers the interview after Samsung won the championship. Boss An and Cuvee responded that they did not want the LCK to win, so that S7 would be the last LCK champion.

In this case, if SKT loses, it will bear huge public pressure.

No matter how strong SKT's adjustment ability is, the mentality of the players will be affected to some extent.

Abramovich: "We are the last game, and there are games between C9 and SKT ahead of us.

During this time, we can study SKT off the court."

…

While everyone in EDG was chatting, on the other side, SKT had already entered the arena.

The camera showed SKT, and several players looked serious.

As the players put on their headsets, the BP between C9 and SKT has begun.

"C9! Come on! C9! Come on!"

Most of the people in the audience were shouting C9’s team name and cheering them on.

Zoom was stunned for a moment: "Is C9 so popular in our region?"

Abramovich said with a smile: "I'm overthinking it. The main reason is that C9 is already determined to be out of the group. If C9 can act as a water ghost and drag SKT down, then we can firmly win the first place in the group."

"That's it..." Zoom suddenly realized, and then said: "But it feels very difficult."

"There's no chance." Yates: "Unless C9 hits the middle and jungle, there may be a small chance."

The C9 team does have a ceiling, but not much. The chance of beating SKT is very slim.

As for AHQ...the chance of beating SKT is even lower.

Director: "I don't expect him to win, as long as he can play something with SKT."

"That's right." Abramovich looked at the screen: "Although C9 and AHQ are not as strong as SKT, SKT cannot afford to lose, so they will definitely come up with something real. Then we can find their weaknesses..."

When speaking, the selection of heroes on both sides has been completed.

When it was clear that C9 could not get out of the lane, they took out Syndra, Big Tree, Jungle EZ, Lu Xia and Feng Nu.

SKT has Jayce in the top lane, Jungle Prince in the jungle, Murloc in the middle, and Rat and Lulu in the bottom lane.

"Little Fishman?" Abu was stunned for a moment. This hero has not appeared many times. Only Ximen from AHQ has taken it out once or twice, and the other teams have not selected it at all.

Now that Faker took out the little murloc, is it a real thing or a smoke bomb?

Abu was lost in thought.

Nofe: "The C9 lineup is overall brittle. Maybe considering this, SKT chose the Murloc in the middle."

Yezi looked at the SKT lineup. In this game, the SKT lineup was obviously more proactive. The prince, the fishman, and the mouse were very capable of seizing opportunities.

However, his focus was not on the little fish man, but on Jace who was on the road.

During this period, two heroes in LCK played better than LPL, one was Jayce and the other was Lucian.

Lucian is nothing to be afraid of, there are many ways to deal with it, but Jace...

To put it bluntly, so far, apart from Theshy, there are very few top laners in the LPL who can withstand LCK’s Jess.

Suddenly, a light flashed on the screen and the game started.

The two sides started off normally. The first few minutes were relatively harmonious and nothing happened.

Ye Zi took a look at the last hit gap on the top lane and couldn't help but secretly let out a sigh of relief.

The last hit of the big tree looked much better than he thought. He originally thought that the big tree was going to be overwhelmed by Huni's Jace, but he didn't expect that the last hit was not even close.

"Huni's Jace seems to be of average quality."

Yezi murmured in his heart. He had seen Theshy's Jace, and it was so overwhelming that the opponent was worse than death. Looking at Huni's Jace again... Yez could only say that it didn't taste that good.

However, the issue of Damu's personal strength must also be considered here. As a living fossil of e-sports, although Damu's operation is gradually declining, his overall strength is getting stronger and stronger, especially in terms of competition experience. It is not difficult for Damu to withstand pressure.

Thinking of this, Yezi asked Zoom in a low voice: "Zoom, what do you think of this Jace?"

"Um?"

Zoom was stunned for a moment, thinking that God Z wanted to test himself?

"It's not bad, a little better than my Jace."

"..."

Yates: "I mean there's pressure on you to line up with this Jace?"

"It's hard to say." Zoom shook his head: "It mainly depends on the jungler. If it's 1V1, I feel there's no problem."

"That's enough." Yezi nodded. If Zoom can beat Jace, the team can save a ban position.

It may seem like a small advantage, but in fact one ban position can already affect a lot of things.

If RNG could have one more ban position, it's hard to say what the outcome would be between RNG and SKT.

"First blood!"

The system kill prompt sounds.

On the screen, Xia was alone in the bottom lane, but was caught by the mouse Lulu and got first blood.

Then, Lulu went to the middle to cooperate with the prince and the murloc to gank Syndra.

shark!

The little murloc took the initiative, and Syndra used both of her moves, but was eventually killed by the combined efforts of the three SKT players.

Score 0:2, C90, SKT2.

"Finish."

Seeing this scene, everyone in EDG already had a result in their minds.

"Jungle EZ is going to become the cash machine of little murlocs."

The advantage of EZ jungler is that it is strong in fighting, but now that the little murloc has got the kill, it has the ability to kill EZ alone.

"Looking at it this way, there must be at least two front rowers in the team." Abramovich: "If it is too fragile, there will be no room for error."

While watching the game, the coaching staff was also recording some key points.

Next, the situation became a little unfriendly to C9.

The murlocs kept wandering around, and a wave of 3V3 broke out between the two sides. SKT once again earned two kills in vain.

Fortunately, C9 seized the opportunity in the mid-term and successfully captured the Baron at the cost of three people.

Immediately, there was another perfect team battle in the middle, EZ attracted tons of hatred, and finally the two sides completed a two-for-three.

However, this only gives C9 a chance to survive.
