Chapter 259 Maokai: Is this how Abu feels? I understand Abu! Everyone remembers that time. At that time, a peerless sword radiating cold light cut through the dark sky of LPL. With an unstoppable attitude, he broke through all obstacles and left EDG's name at the top of S7. In the spring, they went from the bottom to the top of the league, crushing them 3-0 to win the spring championship!
At MSI, a player named Savior proved his strength with a BO5 game. He's not kidding, he's really here to beat up SKT. Then the summer split completed the last piece of the puzzle. Sweep all the way to win the No. 1 seed!
In the S competition, he defeated all LCK teams and won the S7 championship with a crushing momentum!
This is what Savior has achieved in just one year after joining EDG. The world's No. 1 AD that year was without any controversy. The final FMVP is well deserved!
Not only that, the next year he also personally brought Faker, the soul of the LCK division next door, and pulled up the young Xiaotian to create a dynasty called EDG.
"Axiba! Him! How can he come back! Don't! Don't do that kind of thing!" Of course, some weird stuff will inevitably appear: “Savior’s comeback this time must be to beat us to our knees and force us LCK to do their LPL Star Fury! [Sad]” The old bastards who used to pretend to be kings and scold other teams in the post bar every day immediately took off their skin and jumped directly: The state of Korean audiences is almost like this: Countless LCK viewers began to wail, and even seriously began to talk nonsense. "Faker! We must protect the honor of our LCK this time!!!" Surprisingly, because Faker still has the highest regard for Savior after returning to the LCK, and the LCK audience also hates, fears, and loves him, so they have no objection to this statement. [Darkness] [Distortion] [Crawling] [Ah ~ Savior! 】 Everybody knows. In an instant, the servers in South Korea were overwhelmed by the huge traffic! If teams all over the world want to defeat EDG, the first thing they must consider is how to avoid being overwhelmed by the golden combination of Savior and Meiko!
This is the most glorious era of LPL, and it is also the era when LPL has transformed from being beaten by LCK and not even recognizing it to being able to crush LCK. It can only be said that the boss still has too many die-hard fans. "Go and invite T1!!!" The veteran Yuanza people who were originally ardent fans came back to life one after another and started going crazy:
"F*ck, Yuan!!! [Ruozi roars]" Love because they were also conquered by Savior's personal charm. Even Yuanza, who was cheating on others, could no longer hide it: "Brothers, deducting 1 is really useful!!!" at that time……
No problem, abyssinphobia is too serious. Countless Korean fans finally recalled the humiliation and fear of being ruled by Savior! "Laoyuan, you are finally resurrected 55555!" Unfortunately, such an era did not last long. In the next few years, both LCK and LPL won championships, but there was no longer a team like EDG that was so powerful that it left opponents breathless. This is Savior's career in just two years. I'm afraid because as long as they encounter EDG led by Savior, they will be eliminated. Although the FMVP of S8 is Meiko, considering the invincible team of S8, everyone is actually qualified to win it. "It's over! LCK just won last year, are they going to lose again this time?" Yes. All this was the era of Savior's rule. "Who are you talking about? I have always been a loyal believer of Yuanshen!" Yes, even though they also played a very terrifying suppressive power in S10, they were still eclipsed in front of EDG, which had won three games to zero, and could only be called a small EDG. But regardless of LCK or LPL, the evaluation of DWG is:
"Little EDG" "I'm done pretending! I'm just a bastard!" He played professionally for two years, won the S Championship for two years, FMVP for one year, and was a TOP1 player for two years. "Will you win? You will win!" I hate it because Savior beat the LCK so badly. So now that they know that Savior, the legendary player, has really chosen to come back, the old LPL viewers are instantly up in arms! If I have to say it, the S10 version of DWG may barely be considered one. It is now generally accepted that the S7 and S8 were the era dominated by Savior. In the distant LCK, this news was also carried on the Raddit forum. In those two years, the LCK really had nothing to gain in a literal sense. As long as there is a battle between divisions, they have never defeated Savior. Every time they think of S7 and S8, they feel a sharp pain in their hearts. While recalling the humiliation, I became even more afraid of Savior as a player. Riot headquarters in the United States also responded immediately. They immediately chose to change their Twitter profile picture.
It was a makeup photo of Xu Yuan with his hands in his pockets and his back to the camera, Savior's ID shining brightly behind him. Then he sent this tweet:
"HE IS BACK." "AD players around the world, are you ready to face the legend?" The accompanying picture shows Xu Yuan closing his eyes slightly and gently kissing the S8 champion in the spotlight. Almost instantly, comments from European and American viewers gathered on Twitter. "OMG!!!" "My master, you have finally returned to your loyal LOL." "If Faker is the devil in the mid-range unit, then Savior is the monster in the AD position. I am glad to see the return of another legendary player. For you, I will continue to pay attention to LPL games!" "He's so handsome!" "If you want to describe the career of legendary player Faker in terms of ups and downs, then Savior is definitely worthy of turning the tide!" "He is the soul of the team and the best brother in the team. Every time I see him, I wonder, where is our Savior?" The nearly massive amount of messages and forwards made Riot Games laugh out loud. Savior's traffic was so terrifying that no one who watched the games in those two years could ignore him. Among the professional players who are as numerous as the stars in the sky, he is the only sun. How can the light of a grain of rice compete with the sun and the moon?
Countless European and American professional players have left messages, among which Perkz’s message is the most eye-catching: "Oh, it's so sad. Even if you come back, you still don't want to come to our G2. Savior, I hate you!" Then he immediately followed:
"Okay, I already hated you for a second, but now I like you again. Can I come to G2 next year?" All I can say is that it made everyone laugh. In the end, all the comments turned into the same comment:
"Welcome back!" "Welcome back!" "Welcome back!" This is Savior’s lineup!
In China, countless professional players also immediately appeared under this announcement. [Jackeylovezzz: You guys are finally waiting for you, when will we get together? 】 [Cute Imp: Good brother, can you have dinner with Pupu? Please QAQ] [Handsome guy Rookie: Just come back, I look forward to your wonderful performance, come on! 】 [: Xu Yuan, I like it. 】 [UziQAQ: Come on! You are the best AD player in my opinion. I’m really happy to see you back! 】 Xu Yuan replied seriously one by one.
After a few years, it is obvious that the brothers are still waiting for him to come back, and they can meet Ah Shui Puzi when they have time. And his former IG friends also welcomed him seriously. Theshy's reply was short and direct, but it is precisely because of this that it shows that it is not purely an operational issue. Uzi is ripe again. This time, even after four years, he still said with high emotional intelligence that Xu Yuan was the best AD player in his opinion. Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Xu Yuan no longer paid attention to the past grudges and interacted with him with a smile. Fans' grievances belong to the fans, let the fans handle it themselves. Anyway, Xu Yuan felt that with Yuan Za’s strength, it would be impossible to suffer a loss. After finally replying as comprehensively as possible, by the time Xu Yuan finished the operation, it was already time for the evening meeting. Ming Kai took Xu Yuan into the conference room. With an undisguised smile on his face, he clapped his hands. "Let me introduce Xu Yuan, Savior, the AD who returned from our club." "Everyone give me a round of applause to welcome you." In an instant, warm applause rang out. In fact, during the afternoon training, the EDG players basically discovered Xu Yuan's existence. But they didn't dare to talk to her at all. On the one hand, they were shy, and on the other hand, they felt a little pressured. Even the most "arrogant" Ah Le was quiet and honest during afternoon training, for fear of disturbing Xu Yuan. Who doesn't know how important Xu Yuan is to EDG? Even if Xu Yuan hasn't played for four years, he still doesn't even need a trial training to be firmly in the starting lineup! This is the respect and trust EDG has for him. If Xu Yuan was made unhappy, A Le doubted whether he would have to go to the second team the next day. He was there when the contract was signed in the afternoon. He was willing to pay 24 million for five years. This was really an exaggeration. For a player who has not been exposed to games for four years, the club can actually offer him such a terrifying salary, and it takes five fucking years!
Abramovich basically had this sentence on his forehead: "You can fight whatever you want, EDG is willing to support you anyway." A Le also realized something deeply at that moment: EDG Street, Lingshi Road, Ask around, who is the father! No matter how rebellious A Le was, he would not dare to show any disrespect to a player like Xu Yuan. Try?
That is really going to die. Fofo looked at the legendary EDG soul with some curiosity. Really... very handsome! He has the kind of appearance that is still very dazzling among celebrities. Even now that he is wearing the EDG team uniform, he still looks calm and majestic, with a slight smile on his face. There is only one word for him, handsome! Fofo discovered for the first time that the fucking EDG uniforms can be worn so well. So it’s not a problem with the clothes? He had some doubts about life. Seemingly noticing fofo's gaze, Xu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly and looked at him. Then he showed a bright smile. fofo: Oh hoo!
He smiled sheepishly at Xu Yuan and lowered his head. Feeling that his heart was beating urgently, Zizi fell into deep thought and kept shouting to himself in his heart: What are you so shy about, fofo! ! ! Meiko rested her chin on one hand and looked at this familiar scene with some amusement. When Smeb first came to EDG, he had exactly the same reaction as Fofo. She really is an e-sports succubus... He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Jiejie feels a little strange. I'm not a particularly shy person, so why are I staring at Xu Yuan without saying a word? He Jiejie can use his willpower to divert his attention!
Especially A Le, this is definitely not the case normally. Xu Yuan shook hands with the players one by one. When he shook hands with Jiejie, he smiled and spoke. "I watched the S11 World Championship. You are really strong. I am happy to be your teammate." Jiejie momentarily forgot about the complaints he had just made about his family, laughed silly, and touched his head. "Me, me too." Ale:?
fofo:?
Is this the Jiejie who usually likes to act aloof? You're just kidding me when you step on a horse! After the players got to know each other, Xu Yuan sat next to Meiko as usual. If the AD doesn't sit with the assistant, where will he sit? Meiko nudged him sneakily with her arm and handed him a piece of White Rabbit toffee.
Xu Yuan remained calm and accepted it with understanding. Tear open the package and put it in your mouth. Ming Kai, who saw it clearly:... It started again. Meiko used to secretly give snacks to Xu Yuan during evening meetings. Abu said this several times but still enjoyed it, and seemed to like the feeling of feeding Xu Yuan. But this kind of thing never happened to other EDG ADs. Not to mention Leave, I haven’t even experienced deft and viper. This is a treatment unique to Xu Yuan. "Cough cough." He coughed, and then began his daily summary and questioning. Usually at this time, I sort out some of the problems I encounter every day, and then prepare for the training match the following night. "Today's training match opponent is LNG." When Mingkai announced his opponent for the training match, the three players in the upper, middle and jungle positions calmly turned their attention to Xu Yuan, slightly worried. LNG's bottom lane is not bad, and Gala is also a very famous AD player now. Although Savior was a well-deserved number one before retiring, it took four years after all. If they don't play well, they are worried that Xu Yuan's mentality will go wrong. Especially Fo Zi, I am particularly worried. He partnered with the returning Uzi in BLG last year. Uzi will be very irritable if he fails to win the bottom lane in a training match. Although he will not lose his temper with them, his face will not look very good. Likes to be alone and sulky. "Are we playing LNG? They like to play four-guarantee-one, so we can also use four-guarantee-one to fight." fofo spoke calmly. Ming Kai was stunned immediately. What?
LNG guarantees four and one? I'm a coach, don't lie to me!
LNG has never played the game of four guarantees and now uses Gala as a high-end LP. The entire team is dedicated to serving the mid laner Scout. How can it be possible to guarantee four and one? Scout couldn't agree. Ming Kai also has some news.
When Scout transferred to LNG, he communicated with the management. The original words were very classic. "It's impossible for me to play four guarantees and one in LNG. The only AD I can trust is Savior." In fact, this is most likely an excuse. Scout really doesn't like to play a gangster mid laner, he might just use Xu Yuan to block the sword. But that doesn’t stop the LNG Club from not understanding it, it really believes it. After all, except for the time when he played four guarantees and one for Xu Yuan in S7, he had never played this kind of thing. There's no way the idiot doesn't know what kind of team LNG is, so why would he say that? Ming Kai thought for a moment and his eyes brightened slightly. He got it. "Yeah, LNG likes to capture them very much. If we fight them later, choose Sion Ornn for me. I've been practicing a lot as a tank recently." A Le followed closely and spoke. He looked confident and pretended to be real. Ming Kai had a little difficulty holding back, but he still managed to hold on. Byd Ale, usually letting him play Thain is like killing him, and rank can only play two or three times a week at most. Then you told me that you have been practicing a lot of tanking recently? The humor of this statement is no less than that of Rioyosi who said that he did not play in CN because of injury. "I want to play Pig Girl." Jiejie was even more direct, scratching his head sheepishly and smiling. Mingkai could no longer complain. Jiejie usually spends a lot of time playing rank, and he also doesn't play tank jungle. But he chose to nod, "Okay, let's play four guarantees and one later." Mingkai's mind was spinning very fast, and he already knew why these three byds had changed so much today. It is nothing more than worrying that Xu Yuan will not perform well, which will affect Xu Yuan's own mentality. So I tried my best to help Xu Yuan in my own way, so that he wouldn't feel particularly uncomfortable even if he couldn't beat him. Mingkai didn't choose to expose it. In fact, he was a little worried. Xu Yuan watched them quietly singing the double act here. While feeling a little amused, he also had a lot of affection for his new teammates. Don’t forget, he was only reborn in S14. How could it be possible to not know the situation of LNG? He understands his teammates' concerns.
So the next thing to do is... Kill the bottom lane of LNG. This was not too difficult for him. After all, from his current perspective, Gala's laning is really quite ordinary. Several people were about to go back to the training room, but Xu Yuan was stopped by Ming Kai. "What's the matter, Brother Kai?" Xu Yuan was a little confused. Ming Kai coughed and spoke politely. "Why don't we change the players' status a little slower?" Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while. "Huh? Why are you so slow?" "The sooner you change your status, the sooner you can play. Otherwise, if you can't make it to the game against next week -" He suddenly understood when he said this. "Brother Kai, don't you want me to play when we play " he asked somewhat amusedly. "Ah, this? It's not..." Mingkai didn't expect him to react so quickly, and he hesitated for a while. "Are you afraid that I can't beat Ruler?" Xu Yuan spoke very directly. Mingkai:...... This kid is still as direct as ever! "It's not..." He tried to explain, but couldn't think of anything reasonable. Just when he was extremely anxious, Xu Yuan patted Ming Kai on the shoulder. "rest assured." His voice was calm as always, not angry. "Brother Kai, it's normal for you to be worried about me, so I'll let you see how much strength I still have in the past few days." "If I play well in the training match, I can be allowed to play when the time comes, okay?"
Mingkai sighed, he knew Xu Yuan would be very stubborn. But he said so, so Mingkai had no choice but to agree. Xu Yuan stood up and walked to the door, turned slightly sideways, revealing a smiling side face, and said: "Brother Kai, just trust me like before." "To be honest, Emperor Chi is here with me..." He walked out of the room, leaving only this half-sentence. "...It has always been just a dead dog." Ming Kai was stunned. But the corners of his mouth were rising. "it is good." He is, indeed, still him. He was fearless and looked like a Savior who was willing to sell out to everyone. Xu Yuan returned to the training room and followed his teammates into the training room. In the LNG club. After seeing the prompt to enter the room with the ID of [], Li Rucan, who was wearing glasses, was a little at a loss and finally just said hello nervously. : Hello, Savior. Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and did not reply. After the S7 match, SKT waved to Scout and he chose to go back. Xu Yuan said that he could understand, but understanding did not mean that he was not angry. Tang Niu’s inequality, seconds! So now facing his greeting, Xu Yuan did not choose to reply. "..." Li Rucan's eyes dimmed a little, he patted his face and gradually became serious. "Fight well, this one is very important, I can't lose." "Gala, don't have any problems on the bottom lane." "Hang, if you keep fooling around, I'll practice until five o'clock today, and the same thing tomorrow. If you lose, I'll practice with you." "Zika, you must hold still, do you hear me?" "Tarzan, let's attack the opponent's bottom lane together in the middle and jungle."
His voice was a little cold, but it instantly made the atmosphere in LNG tense. Just like A Le is aware of Xu Yuan's status in EDG, other LNG players are also aware of Scout's status in LNG. Although Li Rucan usually has high demands on himself, he really doesn't care about his teammates, let alone suddenly asking them to take them seriously. Because he has always felt that there is no need to communicate with people who cannot keep up with his own thinking. On the other side, EDG is also a little nervous. But in fact, the most nervous person is not the players, but the head coach Maokai. As a coach who has been with EDG for a long time, he is now promoted to the head coach and he clearly understands what a star player is. What do star players mean to coaches? pressure! Once the team loses. No matter how well a star player performs, as long as it is not a particularly obvious war criminal level performance, then... It’s time for the coach to take the blame. Fans complain about coaches more and more in recent years. And now Maokai has a former two-time AD AD under his command. He is still the kind of top star player that even Uzi fanatics will be severely humiliated by his fans. To be honest, Maokai is really stressed at this moment. He seemed to have heard a terrifying sound of the blade being unsheathed. That was the secret trick that EDG fans stole by turning into Silas. What is reasonable is mine! EDG Fans: Fountain of Hate - Get ready!
[I’m not going to quit after this spring split, right? 】 He was already on the verge of crying. [No, I might not be able to finish this spring split! 】 He was sure of it. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum after the game started. "Um, Savior, do you have any heroes you want to play?" A Le couldn't help but shiver. He was used to hearing Maokai's stern voice, but at this moment Maokai was so gentle that he was really uncomfortable with it. "Coach, I want to play Kalista."
Xu Yuan showed a smile. Maokai: Ah this Can Skateboard Shoes Calista play?
In fact, it is possible. Paired with Lenata, the strength of Kallie's combination is quite good in the current spring split. But the problem is that not every team can play this combination. At present, there are really very few bottom laners who can play this combination, because the characteristics of the skateboard shoe are there. If you can't defeat the opponent's bot lane, it will be difficult to perform in team battles, and it can easily become useless. Even with Lenata's protection, it's the same. What's more, today's fight is Gala. In Maokai's heart, Gala definitely belongs to the kind of ADC who is very strict in laning. Although he can't be said to have strong repressive power, his ability to withstand pressure is absolutely no problem and he is very difficult to deal with. Can Xu Yuan, who hasn't played a game in four years, crush Gala?
Maokai couldn't even think about it. He was afraid that Xu Yuandao's heart would collapse, so he suggested in a low voice,
"How about it's still Kasumi?" Xayah is a hero that at least has a lower limit, and her strength in the later stages is no problem. As long as you choose four guarantees and one, and play around Xu Yuan in the later stage, you'll be done. If he really loses, it means his teammates didn't protect him well enough. Anyway, Xu Yuan is fine. Maokai is also very careful. However, Xu Yuan shook his head and insisted on speaking. "Calista, can you?" Xu Yuan must reassure EDG that his current strength will only be stronger, not weaker. So for him, defeating Gala is a must. It's not because he hates Gala, it's just because Gala is unlucky today. To use a sentence from Three-Body Problem: What does destroying you have to do with you? Even if Tao Bo was beaten today, Xu Yuan would not show any mercy to Ah Shui and would still be ruthless. Maokai:… Why is this kid so stubborn?
But Xu Yuan had said it twice, so he could only nod and said with a forced smile. "Okay, let me choose a card column combination for you."
BP ended quickly, and the opponent came up with Xialuo combination to fight against Kalie. "Are you ready, meiko?" Xu Yuan rubbed his wrist and spoke with a smile. "no problem." Meiko's face at this moment showed confidence that she had never seen in these days. If you cooperate with Xu Yuan, you will definitely be the strongest! Maokai sat behind the players and watched with a bleak look on his face, already starting to think about who his next club would be. Game time is three minutes. 【first drop of blood! 】 Maokai sighed, already having a guess in his mind. Is there something wrong with the bottom lane? This is too fast... But when he raised his eyes, he was stunned. The one who fell to the ground was Hang. Maokai: Huh? No, Zhen Xian killed him? Five minutes into the game, Meiko seized the opportunity, and Lenata Q flashed and dragged the two LNG players in the bottom lane. While Xu Yuan's Q was supplementing the output, he jumped quickly to avoid Luo's turning back and raised his head. He jumped quickly after being equipped with Lenata's W skill. As the tear was pulled out, Hang was killed again, and Gala couldn't escape either!
Double kill! Maokai: Huh? !
Seven minutes of two-on-three play in the bottom lane, and eight and a half minutes of perfect coordination with Xiaolongkeng, who flashed to avoid Scout Nicole's flash R in the shadows, completing the harvest. Less than ten minutes. The LNG lower tower exploded! Maokai:! ! !
Fifteen minutes into the game, when ten skateboard shoes were demolishing a tower on the opposite side of the road, the screen suddenly moved uncontrollably. The next moment, the victory sign appeared on the screen of the EDG players. Maokai in the back opened his mouth wider than anyone else. Fifteen minutes later, LNG suddenly... shot! ?
A Le was also dumbfounded. This damn killing was too fast! Jiejie was confused and had been commanded by Xu Yuan. But there is an unprecedented sense of security. This game of Fo Zi is ridiculously easy to play. As long as you support the bottom lane, you can easily win the team battle!
"It feels so good."
He couldn't help but speak. At this moment, Maokai's eyes were terrifyingly bright. Is this... the once legendary player Savior?
He suddenly understood Abu. With players like this... It's so cool too!
