Chapter 66-Meet the principal, your value skyrocketed!

"It's changed, the version has changed, IG has directly broken this window paper!!"

Looking at Flando beside him, Masto had a complicated look in his eyes.

The version has really changed!
In previous team battles, the ADC and mid laner were the final reapers.

But now, the top laner can also do this.

This was simply unimaginable before.

More importantly, if EDG doesn't find a way to deal with the gap in the top position, they will not be able to win today's BO5.

The gap between AJ and Yuan Shen is really too big!
"Maybe we can also try to let Flandre carry the game. We also have the ability and tactics to do so."

Beast suggested, biting his finger.

"Prepare for the bubble match. Maybe we can even compete for a place in the world competition."

……

After the first game, all the major message boards, live broadcast rooms, and forums were already in an uproar.

But the EDG players didn't have the time to worry about these things.

Although they only lost the first game, which was a BO5, they had enough time to adjust their tactics and find a solution.

But the Fiora who had her sword pointed at the high ground in less than fifteen minutes, with terrifying chasing ability and unstoppable 4-1 split push, appeared before them like a nightmare.

"Ban Fiora. We can't handle this hero. We can still fight even if we ban Fiora."

Mingkai sighed.

Being prepared to ban Fiora before the game and banning her after she's been defeated are two completely different concepts.

The former is tactical preparation, internal intelligence, fear and respect.

The latter, on the other hand, was subdued and afraid.

Despite the humiliation, EDG had to admit that they had no way to deal with this Fiora.

The line-changing tactic is also just a stopgap measure.

Hero Counter can change the order of selection, but what about ID Counter?
We can't just ban Yuan Shen, right?

"Switching lanes is a good strategy. At least we can't let the top laner develop so comfortably. As long as we can delay the game, we will have a chance."

After a brief discussion, EDG decided on their strategy.

However, EDG, once the darling of this version, has now become the abandoned child of this version.

With IG defending tightly and invading in groups in every game to prevent lane changes, EDG did not find any opportunity to switch lanes.

After Fiora was banned, Yuan Shen chose Riven again. The rhythm of each game was exactly the same as the first one.

The top lane was broken through, and then IG snowballed and ended the game.

In the last team fight, Riven came in and got a quad kill, and cut EDG's back row into pieces by herself.

Even in the third game, Pawn's mentality was problematic, and Viktor was killed by Rookie's Ahri.

Three to zero!
Amidst thunderous cheers from the venue, EDG lost the semi-finals in an almost ugly manner.

Their opponent was IG, a team they had not lost to all year.

Even in S4, EDG never lost to IG, at most it was a tie.

0 to 3, this is a bit hard for EDG fans to accept.

"Before the game, I said I was going to study my opponent for the World Championship. Now, after studying for a long time, I decided not to go."

"Heh, the first pick in the top lane is always Trekkie and Gnar. How often does he not get beaten to a pulp?"

"When will EDG's top laner be able to play heroes like Fiora and Riven!!!"

"To be honest, EDG deserved it. They underestimated their opponent before the playoffs even started. They even said they were a team studying for the World Championship. How could they make it to the World Championship?"

……

In e-sports, if you win, you get praised, and if you lose, you get criticized. That’s the reality.

In the three games, EDG had some resistance except for the first game. In the remaining two games, IG completely controlled the offensive rhythm.

It’s not that EDG is bad, but once IG’s offensive rhythm gets going, it’s really hard to suppress them!

The three spears in the middle, top and jungle were like sharp tridents, causing trouble in various places in the Summoner's Rift. The single-core EDG could not defend at all. "Great brothers!!"

"I've already said that you can only see me if you beat Yuan Shen. I didn't expect EDG to be so useless!"

He smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

Really made it to the finals!!

Yuan Shen's performance today was completely within his expectations.

I don’t know when it started, but he has become the most die-hard fan of Yuan.

"Yuan Shen, come here!"

At this moment, Su Xiaoluo suddenly walked in hurriedly.

"manager?"

Yuan Shen followed him out, but saw Su Xiaoluo with a big smile on his face. He said cheerfully, "You fought well. I finally got some relief."

Yuan Shen nodded, but he clearly felt that Su Xiaoluo had not finished speaking.

"Well, maybe you don't know, but the principal was watching the game today. I didn't notify you in advance because I was afraid of putting pressure on you. I didn't expect you to play so well!"

"The principal is outside now, come with me to meet him."

"what?"

Yuan Shen was stunned. He was very familiar with the principal.

After all, he is his own boss.

We had met a few times before during the regular season, but never met alone like we did now.

I followed Su Xiaoluo out of the locker room and went straight to the car outside the venue.

"Are you here? You're welcome. Take a seat."

Principal Wang crossed his legs very unrestrainedly, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Fuck, you guys were so awesome today. You guys even ranked second on Weibo's trending searches. We lost to EDG all year, and now we finally got our comeback."

Principal Wang was in a good mood. He was acquainted with EDG's boss, Edward Zhu, and he had even been ridiculed once when they lost to EDG in the previous spring season.

This time, what’s the point of EDG being first in the regular season?

Even if you are eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, you still have to play in the bubble game!

"Yuan Shen, I only wanted to ask you to come here today for one thing. Have you ever thought about... starting a live broadcast? Or, in other words, becoming an e-sports star?"

Yuan Shen was stunned, and the words Panda Live and Banana Project flashed through his mind.

These are the things that happened in S6 as I recall. Considering the time, it’s time to start preparing now.

"I'm preparing for the World Championships now, and I haven't thought about these yet."

Yuan Shen shook his head. Recently, IG has been spending most of its time studying the world championship version and perfecting its tactics. They don't have much time to think about anything else.

"Well... let's not talk about this for now. I heard that you only signed a six-month contract? Have you ever considered signing a long-term contract? The price is not a problem. I just think you have great potential and want to keep you in IG.

If you want, I can give you the same treatment as the Korean aid, 5 million a year, how about it? "

"I have said this before, but Yuan Shen has not responded to me yet."

Su Xiaoluo quickly tried to make amends.

Over the past three months, he has been scolded by the principal many times because of this matter.

The better Yuan Shen performed, the more he was scolded.

Who are they trying to disgust by signing such a good player with a six-month contract?

"Let's wait until the World Championship is over. I am confident that we can get a good ranking in the World Championship this time. The last time we entered the World Championship was in S2. The quarterfinals will definitely not be our end."

Yuan Shen gave his answer without any hesitation.

To be honest, I am very happy staying in IG for these few months.

Rookie is as reliable as an older brother. Kakao has also undergone significant changes and even Jack has been pulled in by him.

In a few months, he will have to consider whether to bring the village dogs to IG to guard the door.
