Chapter 690: The First Round
"Just sit back down!"

Bai Xing shouted to stop them, not wanting to see the team fall apart. Or rather, when they just lost to G2, he wanted to fire all the players, but when he calmed down, he knew that if he wanted to keep RNG's brand, the star double carry could not be separated.

after all…

Xiang Guo just has a high sympathy score, which does not mean he has many die-hard fans. In terms of fan support, we still have to look at the double Cs - the club's business situation is already like this, and he wants to run away by shaking off the stains on his body? No way!

In a flash, Bai Xing, who had figured everything out, pinched his nose and advised, "We've already lost, but we still have to blame each other. Is this the attitude of a professional?

Li Yuanhao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're not the only one who's under pressure from public opinion after losing G2. Go to the Super Talk and see how Jian Zihao is being criticized..."

"I know you're angry, but the harder it is, the more we have to get through it together, right? I'm not going to talk about brothers or not, can you just maintain basic team spirit for the sake of the fans?"

Then, Bai Xing talked about how the club was trying to support you, and asked you to just pretend, but not bring personal grudges into the club.

Li Yuanhao heard the implied meaning in Bai Xing's words.

It's just that it's not easy to get to where you are today. If you don't want to be infamous, just play the role given by the club. But Bai Xing didn't know that Qin Hao's attack on Fujii gave Xiaohu the courage to resist.

He was thinking.

No matter how bad your reputation is, how bad can it be?
There is no clean loss in G2, but he cannot accept that someone would punish teammates in the game just to vent their anger.

Yes, you are the most important player in the team. The problem is that we all want to cooperate with you. If you are not strong enough or in bad shape and you really can't win, then that's fine. But why don't you listen?

I persuaded him for a long time.

Uzi expressed his willingness to go through the difficult times together. Perhaps he also knew that this BO5 was a bit CS, and he still felt guilty and guilty.

"Okay, both of you apologize to each other..." Shirahoshi immersed himself in the role of mediator.

Jian Zihao did not shout immediately, but rubbed his slightly red face with his hands. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and said, "My God, I shouldn't be emotional when reviewing."

The ending of making dumplings is about to happen.

Jian Zihao, who was aggressive before, has suppressed his willfulness and is willing to make peace. As long as Li Yuanhao lowers his head and relieves his aura, it will be fine. As a result, facing the manager's gaze, Li Yuanhao casually responded: "Well, I'm going back to my room."

White Star:? ? ?
No.

You are the most obedient person in this family. What? Are you entering the rebellious phase?

Uzi's eyes turned cold instantly: "Look?!" Li Yuanhao's figure disappeared at the door of the room. Uzi, who had lost face, was quite upset: "Don't ask me to apologize in the future, it's useless."

Sitting on the sofa and witnessing the two Cs leave, Letme felt that this scene was like two big guys breaking up a talk and going their separate ways expressionlessly.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Shi Senming, who was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma just now, finally looked up in disbelief, his face full of tears after discovering that the reconciliation between the two Cs had failed: "...I was the one who held them back." Until now, he felt that it was a problem with his command, as he always misjudged the opponent's attack targets.

"It's none of your business, don't blame yourself." Letme patted Shi Senming on the back: "I believe you will be a great commander."

"Woo~~"

When he thought about RNG like this, and that he would never be able to return, Shi Senming held his head and cried until he choked. He sniffed guiltily and said in a sobbing voice: "Yan Junze, what about you? Are you leaving too?"

Shi Senming is a sensitive person and feels that Yan Junze is too calm, as if he doesn't care about the future of the team.

"..."

Letme didn't say anything, just sat quietly beside him.

“┭┮﹏┭┮”

Shi Senming cried even louder, feeling abandoned.

At this time, Sun Dayong, who was standing by and witnessing the team falling apart, felt dizzy and sighed endlessly.

Before the fight.

He never thought he would lose, let alone his mentality would be broken.

~~~
The time came to 2 o'clock in the morning.

The comment section where RNG thanked its sponsors was filled with more than 40 comments from netizens.

Later, some careful netizens discovered that Uzi was up late at night deleting his Weibo posts and had deleted all the updates related to Xiaohu, including birthday wishes and photos.

This unusual move quickly aroused speculation among netizens.

"Nuohu has gone invisible, and Xiaogou can't stand it anymore."

"You're trying to trick me, right? I'll block you!"

"Why are you acting like a primary school student? You don't think it's cool to block people, do you?"

"It's a little disgusting."

There are many posts analyzing BP on Zhihu, Kangba, and Hupu. It is generally recognized that the bottom lane is the most arrogant and does not treat Hjannan as a human being.

Just like that.

Uzi’s blocking operation really detracts from his score - it’s not clean at all, and he’s still doing this.

"Pharmacy Bilian, it's fine that he put Galio in the fifth position last year and scolded Xiaohu for being a pit, but this year's performance, can Uzi justify it? Hjannan is the worst bottom laner in the quarterfinals, and his representative hero is Heimerdinger."

"Thank you G2, my nationality is back."

“From now on, I will laugh at anyone who praises Uzi as the best AD.”

"OMP: You know Uzi but don't you know me? I have never lost in a BO5."

"In the future, when you meet fans of Bang, IMP, and Deft, remember to kneel down right where you are, GSL."

"I am completely disappointed with the stinky egg. He is always mature and always autistic. In the whole BO5, he was the only one who remained mute in the disadvantageous situation."

"How can someone be so shameless and still say he wants to win the championship? What does he want?"

"If anyone had half the desire of Qingshen, it wouldn't be like this."

Su Xiaoluo logged out of Weibo and smiled at An Ning next to him: "This kid is really ignorant. He is at the center of the storm and still does this. Isn't this attracting hatred from his teammates?"

Su Xiaoluo ate the melon and laughed at Uzi's bad move.

"After 2 years of marketing, this is all GayNG is going to get? Haha, I guess the fans are really upset."

While fans are still fighting, idols take the initiative to cut ties.

"Isn't there going to be a quarrel?" Aning analyzed, "How can you choose a Wheel Mother and exchange blood with others in the early stage?"

"It's good to be out. Now there's no one to absorb our traffic."

With RNG’s stunning upset, their presence will definitely be high.

Su Xiaoluo rubbed his hands excitedly: "Keep a close eye on them during this period. Once we get past VIT, we can market them under the banner of helping RNG to avenge themselves!"

~~~
The next day.

Losing to G2 is still the most searched topic.

In addition, contrary to the impression that he likes to offend, after winning against RNG, A-P did not make any outrageous remarks on Twitter.

Not only that, when Ah P was interviewed and talked about the tactical changes, he also said that in the next four games, Xiao Yang played the way he liked.

——In the first game, we caught the bottom, but the effect was very poor.

——Uzi put a lot of pressure on us, so it wasn’t easy for us to win.

——It must be said that AD is the hidden hero of the team.

——How do you evaluate Penicillin's egg theory? If I have to say, we have repeatedly studied the Bird's Nest video, and in every round of tower defense, we have thought about the losses.

At this point, Ah P laughed for the first time: "So you will find that we are not panicked at all when we are at a disadvantage in the bottom lane, because we know what the mid-term situation will look like."

Encouraged by G2's win.

Before leaving the stadium, FNC also tweeted: "Don't underestimate the European team, we have risen! Let's go FNC!"

"Come on, love comes from Italy."

“From France with love.”

“From Hungary.”

For a time, netizens from all over Europe responded, looking forward to another beautiful day.

By 4pm.

When Qin Hao arrived at the venue, Korean media came to invite him for an interview. In fact, Qin Hao vaguely guessed that the Korean media had bad intentions, but he did not refuse.

Some words.

He dares to say it and he dares to admit it, and he is not afraid of outsiders' criticism.

Standing in front of the sponsored background board, the reporter greeted them and asked the first question: "After RNG lost to G2, you posted three Weibo posts in a row. What was the reason?"

"I was a little red at the time, and I was quite excited."

“I’m excited because…”

"Correct."

Qin Hao didn't evade the question: "I think RNG is a bit weird, and I'm confused about the BP in game 4 and 5. I don't know if the coach likes it or if he arranged it this way on purpose. Anyway, I'm personally confused, so I asked this question."

"What do you think about match-fixing? Many people on the Internet say so."

Qin Hao glanced at the reporter and smiled, "I think it must be hearsay, otherwise the E-sports Association would have intervened long ago."

Qin Hao's words were a clear satire on the Korean organizers' favoritism towards their own region, but the reporter pretended not to hear it and instead said sinisterly: "Regarding the egg theory, some netizens say that you are negating the importance of the bottom lane to highlight your own greatness. After all, your fans often belittle other teammates in order to magnify your contributions...

So, how do you view this? How do you view netizens saying that you are seeking fame and reputation, immersed in the narrative of FMVP, and have become accustomed to the flattery of people around you? "

Qin Hao said disapprovingly: "It's not the first time I've been accused of seeking fame. In fact, I often explain in the live broadcast room, but in the eyes of ten thousand people, there are ten thousand Hamlets. I advise them, but they still think I'm training my fans and actively send them gifts to ask me to scold them."

Qin Hao answered seriously: "I don't want to show off, but the reality is that young people today are more abstract. In addition, I am a professional player myself, and the conversation is about some phenomena in the circle. I dare not say how great and glorious I am, but at least-"

At this point, Qin Hao asked, "These people only dare to say that I am seeking fame and reputation. Why don't they dare to accuse me of slander, talk to me, and answer my questions?"

The reporter had a bad feeling.

He came to interview, not to highlight the double champion...

Qin Hao made a promise to the camera: "At least I have a clear conscience and I dare to be responsible for what I said. I just don't know if those who think I am meddling in other people's business and blocking the cake dare to make such a promise.

There was a time when I reflected on myself and realized that being the Weibo King was not all compliments, and that some people were waiting to see me laugh, to see me speak too much and then make trouble for me…”

The reporter really wanted Qin Hao to stop talking, but he had agreed to come here for the live broadcast and didn't know how to cover his mouth.

"So, I am who I am, an ordinary person with some qualifications to speak. How others see me is their business."

The upset situation is unclear.

The two-time champion publicly revealed that he was "vain", which in itself was quite black humor. More importantly, he not only did not avoid controversy, but instead analyzed his inner thoughts in front of the audience. This unyielding attitude in the face of the trend made him more popular among college students, young people and foreign groups who like authenticity.

"Forgive him for supporting Director Mai."

"Okay! Why should you give up being yourself just because of a few insults? Those people are just trying to use crickets to make those who dare to speak shut up."

"Two-time Champion: I dare to take responsibility, do you dare to solve my doubts?"

"Oh my god, there are so many people scolding him on the forum. I thought he was talented but immoral. I didn't expect him to be so sober."

"Don't blame GEN for playing badly, blame Top Esports for being too heavy-handed. I don't understand what that means."

"color!"

"I've already won two championships, so what's wrong with being a little more aggressive?"

"I think what I asked is fine. I wanted to ask when I was watching it. Why did they pick Lucian in the fourth game? And why did they pick Twisted Fate in the fifth game to trade blood with Kuku? What's the point of that... a late-game lineup fighting in the early game?"

Now it’s time to evaluate your opponent.

smlz was also asked about the egg theory, and he answered without thinking: "Hayek has already given the answer to which of the five positions is the most important.

As for me, before I came to Top Esports, I couldn’t even calculate the military line accurately.”

"So, I have no intention of refuting my evaluation of Qin Hao as MVP and me as the winner without any effort."

Guided by smlz.

When Mark evaluated FNC's support player, Haerisang, he also ended with "I won without any effort".

For a while.

The studio was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Even Rekkles talked about his opinion on the egg theory: "…the bottom lane has a very small radiation range and it requires a lot of development, so it's not wrong to call it an egg."

Rekkles compared it to eating instant noodles: “It’s like when we tear open the package, put in the noodles, then add hot water, vegetable packet, seasoning packet, and finally put in the whole egg.

In other words, in a normal game, ADs usually have two or three sets of equipment and then come out to take over teamfights, so there is no need to rush to perform. "

The organizer wanted to use this topic to show the arrogance of the two-time champion, but it ended up whitewashing Qin Hao.

In a small group.

C-Blog teases OMP: "I'm talking to you, egg!"

OMP: Nishihachi Hirano Aya, the nest eggs are also triple yolk eggs, nutritious!
Dalang: Damn, I met an AD guy when I was playing ranked. Just when I was about to surrender, the mid, jungle and support were all shouting "Stop yelling!"

C Bo: So?
Big Wolf: You are lying! It spreads too fast.

Eimy jumped out and said: Damn it, PYL, don’t you even check how many comments there are on the post.

C Bo: Scream?
Eimy: Pretending?

……

5: local time in Korea.

The big screen was playing the promotional video for the quarterfinals. Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Hao slowly walked to the center position, with his back to the Summoner's Cup, and issued an invitation: "...If you want to become a legend, come and challenge me."

And on site.

Since KT has entered the semi-finals, most of the front seats are occupied by Chinese spectators.

"This game shouldn't go wrong."

"What are you talking about? Don't you believe in me, Hao Shen?"

"No, no, I just got into it—" Someone in the seat said anxiously, "…They told me yesterday that it was 10-0."

“smlz is not Uzi.”

"Eggs should look like eggs, not like biscuits."

“No seats!”

"..."

When on the court.

Caps adjusted his breathing rapidly, repeatedly telling himself: If G2 can do it, we can do it too!

The result entered BP.

The opponent came up and pressed the bull's head.

“…Ban Akali, and bring out Aatrox and Irelia.” The coach looked at the second plan: “We’ll use Pyke to fight them.”

It's easy to get impatient in the first game. The coach thinks it will be comfortable to pick up the enemy by exchanging heads around Pike, and the small loss in the laning phase is not important at all.

that's it.

The first three bans are over.

Top Esports: Alistar, Tam, Annie; FNC: Akali, LeBron, Sejuani

"Aatrox, Xayah and Rakan are both outside, and it feels most comfortable to grab Xayah." Guan Zeyuan gave a strategic judgment based on the first two BO2s.

then…

The Jhin locked on the first floor of Top Esports.

Guan Zeyuan:!!!

What do you mean?
Cricket RNG needs to ban Jhin, but we have Jhin’s specialty in Top Esports.

There is no way to have such an idea, and it is also some hindsight that claims that Jhin is the T0AD in the current version and Ezreal is a trap in the quarterfinals.

"Then we can consider Xayah and Rakan on the right." Remember to answer, "Like in yesterday's BO5, the last three games will basically be destroyed."

Guan Zeyuan suddenly buzzed like a mosquito: "No one dismantled the first two, why didn't you choose them?"

Remember to laugh and refuse to answer such a fatal question.

Although the slime always claims to have three hundred kilograms of flying feathers, Uzi didn't want to use Xayah at all when playing against G2.

But what is surprising is that in the face of Top Esports’s concession, FNC did not lock Xayah and Rakan, but instead took away Shen and Xayah.

"Salvin is the jungler? Or should we go top and jungle?"

"Top Esports took away Rakan and Troll, clearly intending to limit Xayah's performance."

"Third floor, Pike is locked up? In this case, there is still suspense in the middle and upper floors."

Enter the second round.

FNC blocked Syndra and Gangplank in the positions that they had not entered, while Top Esports eliminated Ornn and Rumble.

"Knife Girl and Sword Demon are still outside..."

"Hao has beaten Irelia with Alchemist, and as for Aatrox, Caps should not play Aatrox in the mid lane."

The voice just fell.

The red team locks on Ryze on the fourth floor.

"Here we go, Ryze and Shen, this is IG's favorite mid-jungle combination."

Seeing that FNC had chosen heroes that were good at small-scale group fights, Qin Hao took the initiative and said, "Give me the Tsar, let's fight by pulling the strings."

FNC's team fight opening was just so-so. Shen is not a hero with the ability to stably kill the opponent in one second. Although he is strong enough, he relies a lot on cooperation.

"Well, put this one on the road belt."

Brother Mai stood behind Jin Gong and said, "Come and get Siyi."

There is also Aatrox outside, and there are only a few heroes who can fight Aatrox well with GimGoon. If they want to develop, there are Vladimir, Viktor, and Kennen. If they want to grab the line, there is Crocodile. But if the requirement is to gain an advantage in the fight, then only Fiora is left.

The heroes are revealed on the fourth and fifth floors.

The barrage continued to stimulate Huang Za.

"Hey, Operations Bureau."

"RNG probably hasn't boarded the plane yet, so there's still time to learn."

"You are so mean."

In laughter.

FNC suddenly changed its formation and locked on Titan.

"this…"

"Stealing my Qingshen routine, huh, Pike mid?"

"No, Pike went to the top lane, and Ryze is still in the middle lane."

"Pike vs Fiora? This isn't just about putting down the tower."

"I don't know if G2 hid their ultimate, but FNC seems to have."

From the playoffs to now, it has been Hailisang who has been playing with Pike, and there is no record of Bibab's use.

As the lineup is finalized.

The camera turned to Jin Gong, and saw that the usually gentle and easy-going old father was a little uneasy.

"No, really put it in the sword princess belt."

"FNC wants to fight so much?"

"interesting."

"How does the saying go? Only those who think they are a weak team are afraid to compete with a strong team."

"666666."

The audience is laughing.

The Rat Platform was questioning, but only FNC knew that their top laner Pike was a killer move and would not stay in the tower and be imprisoned.

This is the end.

The lineups of both sides are as follows——

TES (blue) top lane Fiora, jungle troll, mid lane Azar, bottom lane Jhin with Rakan (weak)
FNC (Red) Pike on top, Shen on jungle, Ryze in the middle, Xayah + Titan (Ignite) on bottom
