Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 446 Improvisation

"Hey, what a rare guest. Are you here to arrange a training match?" Zhang Jiale raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the guy who came to him.

"Didn't all three LEC teams stay to help you with your scrims? Do you still need to invite us?"

Bai Shu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed:

"After all, the seniors are from the top teams, and they have a lot of experience playing against SKT. We can improve each other through communication."

“But I saw you guys were smiling happily when you drew SKT, shouldn’t you have a sure win?” Xiye at the side suddenly interrupted.

"Ah... well... I wasn't very calm at the time. Not very calm."

Bai Shu was sweating profusely.

Yes, that’s right, G2 came to Fanhua to arrange a training match.

Although theoretically, if both teams can overcome each other's opponents, they will meet immediately in the semi-finals.

But it is obvious that G2 can't care about that anymore.

The public pressure they are facing now has even been strongly tied to the entire LEC.

The reason why the four LEC teams have not been criticized by 600,000 messages on social media and have trucks parked at the entrance of the base is that they are the only team that has not been eliminated.

If G2 grits their teeth and defeats SKT to advance to the semi-finals, that would still be an achievement to show for it. Although the fans will still be dissatisfied, they will just turn a blind eye to it.

But what if they get knocked out by SKT and are eliminated in the quarterfinals?

That's not something you can just deal with by getting scolded.

Especially since they showed such confidence in SKT.

Less than ten hours after the whole room was filled with laughter, when the well-rested G2 players woke up from their sleep, they immediately regretted their previous behavior in the lounge.

All I can say is that they were all in a trance because of the intense fighting and the dire situation.

Otherwise, even if they were the kind of team that loved to play pranks, they wouldn't have done something as stupid as everyone laughing during the draw, which is extremely easy to attract criticism.

Now, G2's smile immediately pushed them to the forefront.

In the next game against SKT, they can only win, and they have to win it cleanly and decisively. Even if the victory is a little bit tense, such as losing a small game, the black fans will immediately start to call.

And even if they really win, it will just make the audience feel that it is well deserved. You are all laughing like this, so it must be a sure win.

By then, neither side will be pleased.

Now the GIF of that live broadcast has been flying everywhere, and the black and white guys have been fighting on the Internet for who knows how long.

All I can say is that a hand of already bad cards has been played even worse.

It's just that the SKT team's performance in the group stage can only be said to be slightly worse than the other two seeds in the same division.

In terms of hard power, he is definitely not an easy opponent.

The pressure G2 is under now can only be said to have been pushed to a level that they can no longer bear.

So what else can we do to preserve our reputation and face?

Let’s cram for the exam at the last minute.

So G2 set their sights on Fanhua.

The team Fanhua has a very high status in G2's heart.

They are all strong teams that dominated the MSI period.

As a result, I failed, but you continued to make great progress, making our fans dare not blame the version.

There must be some secret recipe.

Even if there is no such thing, the effect of playing a training match with Fanhua will definitely be much better than that of the unlucky MAD who was slaughtered like a pig by SKT. So the G2 team thought about it and immediately asked Bai Shu to buy two boxes of milk from the store downstairs of the hotel and ran to Fanhua to play a training match.

Normally, this matter could be resolved through communication between the coaching staff of both sides, but G2 thought that since they have a Chinese player in their team, they should make good use of this advantage.

Bai Shu himself was also feeling miserable.

Probably the only advantage he had in communicating with Fanhua was that he could speak Chinese.

Born in England's Glory Premier League, he has nothing in common with Zhang Jiale and other local players who were born and raised in China's Glory circle.

As for friendship, there is no question of that.

But seeing that the quarterfinals were about to start, I finally gritted my teeth and ran over to give it a try.

Sure enough, not long after arriving here, I was immediately made fun of by a few people from Fanhua who were just there for fun.

First, I changed the subject and asked him what it was like to play in the Glory League and LEC in Europe, with an attitude of seeking advice.

After much difficulty in getting the topic back to the training match itself, the malicious Zhang Jiale took advantage of the situation and made fun of them.

The key is that Bai Shu has no way to refute it.

Did G2 mess up their work and cause heated discussions?
But just when Bai Shu's face was about to become stiff from laughing, perhaps Fan Hua had almost finished making fun of herself, and her attitude suddenly became straightforward.
"Okay then, can we spare some time tonight and practice a few sets on both sides?"

Everything after that fell into place.

Bai Shu, who felt as if he had been pardoned, quickly discussed the time, left contact information to facilitate the connection between the two coaching teams, and then turned around and ran away.

Socializing is still a bit too difficult.

Looking at his back, Zhang Jiale exclaimed in amazement: "I didn't expect that we are still so popular."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We still have a training match with Xianghe and the others soon."

Yes, that's right, G2 wasn't the only one to schedule a practice match with Fanhua. SKT also did it, and even earlier than them.

On the LCK side, since all three teams have successfully advanced and each of them is quite strong, in theory there is no need to arrange training matches with teams from other regions.

However, SKT invited Fanhua to play two training games after the group stage very early on.

As to whether this invitation was for training or to gather intelligence, it is hard to say.

But after some discussion, Fanhua agreed very readily.

SKT's growth rate is very fast, so fast that it's a little scary.

Based on their demonstrated understanding of the version, at least within Fanhua, in this quarterfinal match between SKT and G2, people are generally more optimistic about SKT.

Then the question arises again: If Fanhua also successfully defeats KT and SKT and reaches the semi-finals, will SKT stagnate at that time, or will it continue to evolve to an unimaginable level?

no one knows.

Therefore, Fanhua believes that it is necessary to take advantage of the training matches to collect as much information as possible about SKT's latest combat power.

"So when we play against G2 later, do we need to share some information?" Sun Zheping asked.

"Please let them know a little bit so they can help us test the waters. Our main focus at this time should still be on KT." Zhang Jiale obviously had no psychological pressure about tricking his own fanboy.

As for G2's feelings, no one cares.

If they can really win, then they are awesome.

If we can't win, as long as we can do something, if Fanhua wins the championship, it can be considered that one-third of the credit goes to them.

As for how much criticism I will receive if I return to Europe?

Good luck to them.
