LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 86 Breaking the Curse of the Top Eight!

On the EDG player bench.

Meiko, who had just made it to the semifinals for the first time, was very excited. He took off his headphones and hugged Wang Yao next to him.

"Hahaha! Yao-ge! We've finally made it to the semifinals!"

"Old Wang, you played so well these last few games!" A Guang also walked over excitedly, and the five EDG players hugged each other to celebrate breaking the team's historical record.

After overcoming numerous hardships, the five right people finally joined hands on the world stage to shatter all the doubts and chaotic voices from the outside world.

The EDG players are well aware of Wang Yao's contributions; they know what core role he has played in the team since EDG qualified for the World Championship.

The absolute carry in the bottom lane, the core commander in crucial moments, and the savior who turns the tide!

To be honest, since Wang Yao joined EDG, the team has undergone tremendous changes, both in terms of roster reinforcement and command and decision-making.

It's fair to say that without Wang Yao, there would be no EDG as we know it today!

The factory manager was a little teary-eyed at this moment. He never expected that his professional dream of making it to the semifinals would be realized by this young player, Wang Yao.

This heartwarming scene was captured in a close-up shot by the on-site director.

The Haier Brothers on stage were also very supportive. Wawa recounted the hardships EDG had gone through over the years, while Miller reminisced about EDG's brilliant plays in those three games.

Especially the incredible comeback in the second game!

"Judging from today's quarterfinals... no, from the performance throughout the entire World Championship, everything Kshine did was flawless!"

"It's hard for us to imagine that an 18-year-old boy could deliver such impressive esports performances on such a high-level world stage."

"From the LPL Summer Finals to the World Championship quarterfinals, we have never seen Kshine perform poorly even once. When the team is at a disadvantage, he is always EDG's strongest support!"

"It can be said that Kshine single-handedly raised EDG's floor and increased EDG's ceiling!"

“Well, I have to say, that’s definitely true!” Teacher Piao nodded and echoed.

"I think Kshine really has a chance to make it to the finals. His form is just too incredible, even better than Uzi back in the day!"

"Haha, anyway, congratulations to EDG for breaking into the quarterfinals. Kshine is still young, and his legendary story has just begun."

Miller didn't pick up where PDD left off, and casually brushed that off.

PDD's statement is a bit dangerous. If some marketing accounts take it out and amplify it, EDG fans will start arguing with RNG again, causing a huge uproar.

EDG has now advanced to the semifinals, while RNG is still striving for the semifinals. There's no need to let this small matter distract the players from both teams.

At this moment, the SSG players on the field looked extremely pained. They knew what it would mean for them if they lost again at the World Championship this year.

Samsung's management will definitely make adjustments to the current roster during this year's winter transfer window.

Who will stay and who will leave is really uncertain.

That's just how cruel esports is.

If a team doesn't achieve results in the first year, it can be said that they haven't gelled well enough, and everyone can work together to try again in the second year.

If the results in the second year are not as good as in the first year, then it can only mean that these five people are not the right combination, and separation is the inevitable outcome.

With SSG finishing as runner-up last year and reaching the quarterfinals this year, management is determined to make some changes to the roster. And Ambition, the oldest player on the Samsung team, will most likely be the first to retire and leave the team to focus on raising his child at home.

As a veteran jungler from the same era as players like WeiXiao and PDD, it's indeed time for Ambition, who is now quite old, to retire.

Therefore, while his teammates looked dejected, Master An remained remarkably calm.

He stopped what he was doing, glanced around the e-sports arena, and looked at the sea of ​​people. He seemed to want to etch it all into his mind.

Perhaps this is my last World Championship journey, and it's time to say goodbye to the esports arena I love.

The live broadcast director gave Ambition a special shot, and LPL viewers could feel the desolation of a hero in his twilight years.

Back in the day, Ambition was a genius mid-laner in the LCK. After his spirit was shattered by Faker, he switched to the jungle role and continued to shine.

"In that case, SSG's S7 season journey has come to an end. Last year they were the runners-up in the World Championship, but this year they unexpectedly fell in the quarterfinals."

"This result may be unacceptable for them. Perhaps there will be personnel adjustments for this team next year, with some leaving and others joining."

"But we still want to applaud this tenacious team and give them the most basic respect. We hope they will continue their efforts next year!"

As soon as Miller finished speaking, the LPL audience immediately applauded and cheered for SSG.

It has to be said that SSG really made many LPL viewers sweat today, and EDG almost suffered a defeat!

Over here, Wang Yao and his teammates came to the SSG player bench and shook hands with the Samsung team members.

This Samsung team is indeed very strong, and they have a unique understanding of the current meta, but in the end EDG prevailed and defeated their true sight ward strategy!

Afterwards, the entire EDG team came to the front of the esports arena, bowed to the audience, and then returned to the rest room.

The S7 quarterfinals showdown between EDG and SSG has finally come to an end.

After the match, the MVP award for the third game was not given to Wang Yao's Varus, but to Clearlove, who dictated the pace of the game and exerted a lot of pressure!

Clearlove7 has finally proven the power of LPL's Seven Buddha, he is the world's number one jungler!

At this moment, the factory manager fulfilled his past promise to the global alliance audience, and he truly proved himself.

However, in the later interview segment, the organizers still allowed Wang Yao to return to the stage to accept Ren Dong's post-match interview.

When Wang Yao reappeared on stage, the audience erupted in cheers and applause once again!

Ren Dong followed closely behind and came onto the stage, handing Wang Yao a microphone.

He went straight to the point, asking Wang Yao in the interview:
"Welcome Kshine for our post-match interview. First of all, congratulations to EDG for successfully defeating SSG! EDG has finally broken through the quarterfinals! What are your thoughts after reaching the semifinals?"

Wang Yao smiled, holding the microphone, and after a moment's thought, slowly began to speak:

"I was quite excited because I promised everyone before the match that we wouldn't lose the next game, but we almost lost in the second game... Well, luckily we turned it around, we were lucky."

Wang Yao's Versailles joke drew laughter from the audience.

It doesn't matter if EDG loses a game, as long as EDG wins the final victory!
However, compared to a complete 3-0 sweep, viewers would certainly prefer to see a close contest between strong teams.

EDG's comeback in the second game and their perfect team fight decisions are enough to make this season's EDG a legend in the league's history!
