I just messed around, how could I become the number one in the world?

Four days flew by.

The competition schedule has come to October 10th.

After much anticipation, the S10 World Championship ushered in the quarterfinals.

On this day, the LPL audience was the most excited.

Because today's protagonist is EDG, the number one seed from their LPL region, and they are playing against GEN.G from LCK.

This is a showdown between old rivals in the division.

Moreover, Samsung itself is also an old rival of EDG. They met in the knockout rounds of the World Championship from S6 to S7.

Their strength at that time was extremely powerful.

But now, after the name change and reorganization, it seems that it is not so powerful, otherwise it would not have fallen to the third seed of LCK in this season.

But Samsung is still Samsung, and it still has some strength.

In this group stage, Samsung's performance was not too impressive, but it was not too weak either, and it might even have hidden some strength.

Therefore, this makes the upcoming quarter-finals interesting.

It’s 7 o’clock in the evening!!

Before both teams appeared on the stage.

The stadium, which could accommodate more than 3,000 people, was already packed.

Full to the brim.

At first glance, you can basically only see the support flags and icons belonging to EDG.

This is the charm of home court.

It is also because EDG has so many fans that the scene is almost entirely filled with fans supporting EDG.

And in the audience's expectations.

Exciting music also sounded, creating a fighting atmosphere on the scene.

What followed was a promotional video shot by the two teams for the quarterfinals.

However, in recent years, the promotional videos for the quarterfinals have been very restrained and no longer as unruly as before.

Of course, except for EDG...

The factory director and Gu Chen were still working there.

In contrast, GEN.G looked like they were being forced to perform, with no expression on their faces.

When the promotional screen ends.

Switching the perspective, we came to the commentary booth for today's game.

"Welcome everyone to the 2020 World Championship knockout round!"

"Today's match is between EDG, the No. 1 seed from our LPL region, and GEN.G, the No. 3 seed from the LCK region!!"

In the commentary seats, since it was a knockout match for LPL teams, there were three commentators.

"Hello everyone! I'm the commentator, Remember!"

"Hello everyone! I am Guan Zeyuan!"

"Hello everyone! I am 957!!"

The on-site commentators were two professional commentators, and there were also professional players as guests to comment on the game.

This can be considered a complete job.

After all, everyone knows that Guan Zeyuan has a special liking for the Samsung team and likes this team very much.

So today's commentary session will also be interesting.

"Okay, now we can see that both sides have begun debugging their equipment!"

Remember, he smiled as he said this, turned to look at Guan Zeyuan beside him, and said, "Zeyuan, what do you think is the chance of GEN.G winning against EDG in today's match?"

Obviously trying to stir up trouble!!
Guan Zeyuan also smiled awkwardly, but still reacted quickly and immediately replied: "It's really hard to say, after all, it depends on the state of both parties."

"So, I'll give it a 5- split! The score will be a full BO!"

"At least I feel that GEN.G should have something hidden, and today's game will be very exciting!"

Guan Zeyuan has learned his lesson.
He didn't even mention the result, but instead said something cryptic.

"It seems that Zeyuan will be very confident today, and what he said is very conservative!" Remember to smile.

The official live broadcast room was also full of joy.

[Hahaha, Guan Zeyuan has been slapped in the face before, so he doesn't dare to speak nonsense when there is an EDG game! ]

[Wait a minute? ? What time does it start? Do you all need to stand up? ]

[With Maoshen in EDG, even if Guan Zeyuan talks too much, Samsung can't beat EDG. Since S6, they have never beaten EDG in any Bo5 match! ]

In previous games.

Whenever it is a GEN.G game, Guan Zeyuan predicts they will win without any hesitation.

However, this time when facing EDG, they were obviously not confident.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about this.

If Samsung played against other teams, it would be a bit surprising.

But when playing against EDG...

There's no need to even look at this.

Just look at EDG's winning rate against Samsung and you can see it from their previous records.

Remember to turn your gaze to 957 who was standing beside you, and ask with a smile: "Brother Tui, what about you?"

957 is a down-to-earth person. He said directly and seriously: "As a member of the LPL team, I naturally support the LPL team!"

"Besides, I have played many games with EDG. Although I haven't been able to play against Maoshen in the top lane, he is very strong!"

“So my prediction is 3:1, EDG can crush GEN.G!!”

As he finished speaking.

The official live broadcast room was filled with comments like "Support the crush"! !
The atmosphere at the scene also became more lively.

The atmosphere of the World Championship is like this, which can make people excited and thrilled, but also make people angry and frustrated.

But it is precisely because of this that the game becomes more entertaining.

Two and a half minutes passed.

The players from both teams have finished debugging their equipment, and the referee has also checked the equipment problems. Under countless spotlights and cameras, the picture has arrived at the players' seats.

This means that the competition is about to begin!!
At the scene, there was a thunderous cheer! !

In the commentary booth, remember to raise your voice and announce, “Alright!”

"Both players are ready!"

"Next, let's take a look at the 8-to-4 knockout match between EDG and GEN.G..."

……

As the commentary booth ended.

The lights at the scene dimmed, leaving only the lights on the combat seats and the contestant seats.

Whether it was the big screen at the scene or the screen in the live broadcast room, they all switched to the BP screen of both teams.

The first game of BO5.

As the first in the group, EDG has the priority to choose sides.

They chose to be the red side.

GEN.G is on the blue side.

This has its own advantages for both sides. After all, the blue side has the right to choose first.

The red side is the type that has a backhand to counter.

But this requires testing the strength of the team itself.

If a team member does not have the ability to play counter, then choosing the red side means missing the opportunity.

The ban progress is neither fast nor slow.

When the current three hands ended, the commentary booth immediately began to analyze.

"GEN.G banned Ornn and Syndra in the third round and still want Graves?"

I remember asking with some confusion: "I can understand Syndra and Graves, but what about Ornn?"

Guan Zeyuan on the side immediately explained: "Because since the summer season, GEN.G has had some difficulty dealing with this hero."

"It was the same during the group stage. Even if we used Sion to deal with it, Ornn's role in teamfights was too great!"

"GEN.G has probably also analyzed EDG's past very carefully. I remember that in S8, Maoshen often played tank heroes in the top lane!" At that time, Gu Chen's Ornn restricted theshy and other top laners.

At that time, everyone thought that they only knew how to play with meat.

But the meat is played very well!!
Even if he couldn't get any single kills or gain a big advantage in a single lane, his performance in team battles was very impressive.

After Ornn was weakened in S9, the hero Ornn has risen again in this version.

957 also spoke up: "Yes, GEN.G probably couldn't find a way to deal with Ornn, so they banned him!"

"only……"

"In this case, all of Cat God's warrior top laners and AD top laners are outside!"

"GEN.'s top laner Rascal seems very confident in himself!!"

Sword Princess, Riven, Irelia, Shen...

So many choices.

To be honest, let alone the audience who know Gu Chen, even those who don’t know him, but have only heard of him, understand how much room Gu Chen has to play.

It doesn’t matter even if GEN.G hid something.

Because EDG is on the red side!!

There is a Conte location!
You, GEN.G, have no way to surprise them! !

Netizens were gobsmacked.

[I think GEN.G probably thinks they are on the blue side, so they don’t target the top laner. After all, even if there is a counter position on the red side in the fifth ban, they can still respond! ]

[That's true, but the top laner of Samsung is in trouble. He can take the Cat God Sword Princess and the like!!]

[Go, go, go! ! Choose Sword Princess! Let the Sword Fairy dominate S10 again! ! ]

[I hope to see a Riven! It’s been a while since I’ve seen Maoshen play this hero. Although it’s a bit weak in this version, I think Maoshen can play it easily! ]

After seeing this ban, netizens burst into laughter.

This is really the opening thunderbolt!!
It's purely to give Gu Chen an opportunity to show off his skills!

……

After the ban period, it is time to select players.

GEN.G's choice was once again unexpected.

They took out Lilia in one hand.

The so-called "version" hero was chosen. Whether it was the summer season or the group stage of this world championship, this hero had a very high appearance rate.

"In that case, then let Nidalee out!" Guan Zeyuan said, "But I looked at the recent hero pool of the factory manager and it seems that this hero is not included!"

I remember saying, "But I played it in the previous season, and the winning rate is not too low. It depends on whether he can win it today!"

The factory manager has too little reference data this season.

I didn't play many games in the Spring and Summer Seasons, and even in this World Championship, I only played two games in the group stage.

This is only his third match in this world championship!!

After one move, EDG quickly picked Nidalee, which surprised many people.

957: "Has the factory manager trained with Leopard Girl?"

Remember: “It should be!”

Continue selecting people.

What made everyone even more surprised came.

GEN.G did not plan to choose the top lane position in the second round, but chose it directly in the third round.

"Bear!!"

Guan Zeyuan seemed very excited. He hurriedly began to introduce: "Rascal's Volibear has a 100% winning rate in the group stage and has never lost!"

Hear Guan Zeyuan’s explanation.

The scene suddenly became noisy!!
Countless people started discussing it!!
After the revision, even if the bear is equipped with tanky equipment, it still has high output.

And now the passive skill of Volibear has the effect of clearing the lane.

Therefore, choosing this hero to play top lane is not only for the ability to fight in the laning phase, but also a good choice for leading the line in the mid-to-late stages.

"Indeed!"

Ji De also suddenly realized it, nodded and explained: "Rascal's Volibear is indeed very good, and if he plays this hero, he can beat many of Mao Shen's top lane warriors."

"Even if Maoshen wants to play AD top lane, as long as Volibear reaches level 6, he can cooperate with the jungler at will!"

"Then let's see how EDG arranges it!"

The highlight now came to EDG.

GEN.G's top laner has already come out, so the fifth floor naturally no longer needs to be left to Gu Chen. He can now directly serve as the counter.

And EDG's top laner...

What will Cat God choose?
Whether it is the audience and commentators on site, the netizens watching the live broadcast, or even the audience on the LCK side, they are all looking forward to it.

Gu Chen, what can you use to fight a bear?

……

EDG third floor——

It was no longer certain at this time. EDG's coach Maokai was walking back and forth behind Gu Chen, seemingly saying something.

Finally, when the countdown is almost over.

A teasing voice echoed throughout the competition venue.

"How about a magic trick?"

When everyone knew who the voice belonged to, they couldn't believe it! !

This is actually...

Sarco——The Clown??!
The audience's eyes were wide open and their mouths were wide open.

I was shocked!!
I couldn't utter a word for a long time...

The official live broadcast room was in an uproar!

[Holy crap! Holy crap!? A clown?]

[Am I seeing this correctly? How come the Joker is even in a professional game!? ]

[Sunny boy, does Cat God really want this hero? ]

As for the hero Joker, they have never seen anyone play him as a top laner in a professional game.

Even if Gu Chen is very powerful.

They also began to question in their hearts at this time! !

Is this hero really good at fighting?

Not to mention the spectators, even Guan Zeyuan, who was in the commentary booth and had reacted, was also extremely confused.

"The Joker? Are you going to single out the Joker?"

What kind of hero is the Joker?
That's basically a hero that won't appear in professional competitions.

Not to mention using it to play top lane.

No one has ever used it to fight!!
"Are you sure you want to use the Joker as the top laner?"

I still remember asking in disbelief: "Can this hero really beat it?"

But before he could finish his questioning.

The third player of EDG on the field locked the enemy firmly after he showed this hero!
That’s right, it’s the top lane clown!
Guan Zeyuan was dumbfounded!!
Although I know that Gu Chen is very powerful and have also seen Gu Chen's various top lane performances.

AD, Warrior, Tank, Mage, etc.

It can still be used to play top lane.

But the Joker's words...

Isn't this often used for hunting in the wild?
Moreover, in the usual ranking, this is considered to be in the middle and low segments. He has not seen many people playing in the high segments.

"Cat God..."

Guan Zeyuan took a deep breath and said with emotion: "It really surprises us every season!"

Remember to nod: “Yes!!”

After 957 was surprised, he chuckled, "This is Cat God, he always plays unexpected heroes!"

"Although this hero has not appeared on the field this season, I think that since Cat God has brought it out..."

"Then you must have made some preparations, right?" (End of this chapter)
