Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

Chapter 153: Against Gen.G

The development of Gen.G's game situation exceeded everyone's expectations.

After losing the team battle for the little dragon, Guan Zeyuan became completely silent and no one knew what he was thinking.

The good news is: this game did not last longer than the time EDG defeated C9 in the previous game.

The bad news is: the losing side is Gen.G.

It is estimated that it is difficult for the Gen.G players to accept the fact that they lost to VIT in the team battle, and they also clearly realized that the subsequent games would be difficult to play, so that the players' operations began to gradually become distorted, and the highly motivated VIT kept looking for opportunities.

"How can this be lost to VIT?"

When the Gen.G crystal was destroyed, Guan Zeyuan, who had been silent for a long time, finally screamed in pain.

Seeing him like this, Jide, who was about to tease him after the game, immediately swallowed back the words on his lips.

It is obvious that Guan Zeyuan is not doing this for the show effect.

He is really miserable!

"Perhaps Gen.G was a little too careless. We can see from the BP that the lineup they chose was very dependent on the early laning phase, but VIT adopted a conservative strategy in the early stage, and Gen.G did not gain much advantage, which is why they lost this game..."

Rita explained.

Hearing her say this, Jide next to her was full of surprise, and at the same time gave her a thumbs up in his heart.

This wave really shows the maximum emotional intelligence.

I remember that because Rita and I were colleagues, it was not easy to take advantage of her misfortune, but netizens did not have such concerns.

Many people are very dissatisfied with the fact that Guan Zeyuan is a fan of Gen.G. Before the game, Guan Zeyuan praised Gen.G crazily, which made netizens very unhappy. Now that Gen.G has lost to VIT unexpectedly, netizens will naturally not miss this opportunity to output.

"Park Tae-won speaks!"

"Keep praising your Korean dad. You can't even beat VIT. My suggestion is to strip Gen.G of last year's championship trophy."

"It seems that among the three LCK teams today, only KT won. Our first division is really too strong."

……

While netizens were criticizing Guan Zeyuan, Shen Lang, who was sitting on the bus back to the hotel, was also criticizing netizens.

When he posted in the forum before, many people mocked him. Shen Lang was not a magnanimous person. He never waited overnight to take revenge. He madly whipped the corpses of those netizens who mocked him in the forum.

"Is it interesting? Can't you think more about how to play tomorrow's game?"

Seeing Shen Lang like this, Abu felt uncomfortable.

Everyone was very nervous about the World Championship and was trying their best to play well, but Shen Lang seemed like nothing had happened and even had the leisure to argue with netizens in the forum.

Tomorrow is their match against Gen.G. Although Gen.G lost to the weak team VIT today, in Abu's heart, it was all because Gen.G underestimated their opponents and were careless. He still thinks Gen.G is EDG's strongest opponent in the group stage.

Looking at the manager's expression, Shen Lang felt a little helpless.

If before today's game, you said that you valued Gen.G very much, he would be able to understand it to some extent, but Gen.G has already lost to VIT, why are you so nervous!

What is carelessness, what is negligence...

Is it possible that Gen.G is just a bunch of noobs?

"What are you thinking about tomorrow's game? I find that you guys are overly concerned about the LCK team and don't have confidence in yourselves. We are the No. 1 seed of LPL, and Gen.G is the No. 3 seed. I can understand why you said you were a little nervous when playing against KT, but there's really no need to be so nervous when playing against the No. 3 seed..."

Shen Lang persuaded.

But it was obvious that neither the coach, the manager, or even the players would believe what he said.

The LCK region has dominated the League of Legends for so many years. To put it bluntly, it has left a huge psychological shadow in the hearts of the older generation of professional e-sports players. It is impossible to remove the shadow in their hearts by just one or two games.

However, Shen Lang believed that it was only a matter of time.

As long as we keep winning the games against the South Korean team, "anti-Korea" will sooner or later become a thing of the past.

If they keep winning but are still afraid of the LCK teams, then there is nothing they can do. If they want to kneel, then just kneel there.

After returning to the hotel, everyone hurriedly ate dinner, and as soon as Abu put down his bowls, he started to arrange a training match.

Originally, he wanted to make a date with KT. After all, they are both LCK teams, and their playing styles must be similar to Gen.G.

However, KT refused to play a training match with EDG on the grounds that they had no time. Abu had to settle for the second best and invite AFS. But who would have thought that AFS also rejected his invitation with the same excuse.

In the end, there was no choice but to find an LPL sparring team.

It was not until the training match started that Shen Lang leisurely walked into the training room. He would definitely not participate in the evening training match. If it was a game against IG or RNG, he might have reluctantly participated. After all, they were all LPL teams, and there was really no need to play against a sparring team.

In comparison, he would rather pick up his mobile phone and play a few games of Honor of Kings.

After the training match, Shen Lang immediately approached iboy: "Xiao Zhao, did you forget something?"

iboy seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became nervous: "No...no!"

"No, I remember someone lost a bet with me, but he hasn't accepted the punishment yet. Liars have to swallow a thousand needles!"

iboy's face was full of helplessness. He thought Shen Lang had forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect that he still remembered it.

"I'm a professional player after all, can you give me some face?"

"No."

"It's okay to change the ID, but can it be changed to an abbreviation?"

"No."

"you……"

Under Shen Lang's supervision, iboy could only change his ID to "I am an idiot a". As for why he had to add an a at the end, it was because there really was an idiot whose ID was "I am an idiot". Without adding an a, the ID could not be changed.

……

Time passed and soon it was the next day.

The group stage schedule is still very tight, with the official arranging three groups and six games every day.

Group D rested yesterday and Group C rests today.

For LPL viewers, today's game is still worth watching.

IG will make its debut today. Although their opponent is the slightly weaker GRX, at least the game can show the status of IG players in this World Championship.

Furthermore, EDG will face Gen.G today.

In the eyes of many viewers, the two teams C9 and VIT in Group B will definitely not be able to compete with EDG for the first place in the group. EDG’s biggest rival is only Gen.G.

In this case, the outcome of the game against Gen.G becomes particularly important.

In the first game, FW played against AFS.

What is shocking is that AFS lost the game again.

After suffering two consecutive defeats in the group stage, it suddenly became difficult for AFS to advance to the knockout stage.

Without extra games, each team only plays six games in the group stage. AFS lost the first two games. Unless they win the next four games, they will be likely to be eliminated.

What made the Korean audience even more disappointed was that in the subsequent match between G2 and PVB, G2 successfully won the game.

It would have been fine if G2 had won, but the key was that the win was very thrilling, and PVB in the same group also showed strong strength.

It is known that Flash Wolves won two consecutive victories at the beginning, and G2 and PVB also showed strong strength. How can AFS, which has suffered two consecutive losses, turn the tide?

In the third game, FNC played against 100T, and FNC won easily.

In the fourth game, IG played against GRX. The IG players were in good shape, and there was a scene similar to the first day's game when Gen.G was upset by VIT.

In the fifth game, VIT played against C9, and C9 won the game with a crushing momentum. This game once again proved that Gen.G lost to VIT not because VIT was strong, but purely because Gen.G was poor.

……

"Look, VIT is actually a weak team. The fact that Gen.G lost to a weak team like VIT shows how weak they are."

As the competition approaches, Shen Lang is still working on the manager's thoughts.

But the response he got was still Abu's eye roll, and Nofe ignored him completely and discussed the next game strategy with the other players.

"Like other LCK teams, Gen.G is also very good at operations. Their main tactical core is the double C, so the main task of our double C in this game is to stabilize and not let the opponent find opportunities. In the early and mid-term, we will focus on the top lane..."

During the discussion, the competition soon began.

Under the guidance of the staff, players from both teams went onto the stage holding equipment and water cups. While the equipment was being debugged, the director turned the camera to the commentary booth.

"Welcome back. The next game to start is still our LPL game, EDG vs. Gen.G. This game should be the most crucial game in Group B. If EDG can beat Gen.G, they will have two points. As long as they continue to perform normally, there should be no problem in advancing to the knockout stage..."

Miller's voice sounded in the live broadcast room of the event.

After saying hello, the kid next to him couldn't wait to take over the topic: "Teacher Ze Yuan, what do you think of today's game?"

The official still knows how to create heat. After Gen.G lost the game yesterday, Guan Zeyuan’s reaction caused quite a stir on the Internet, so the official still arranged for him to commentate on this game.

Guan Zeyuan was a little unsure: "Gen.G should win."

"Oh?"

Wawa's eyes lit up immediately: "In yesterday's game, Gen.G lost to VIT, and in today's game, VIT lost to C9, which was crushed by EDG. Doesn't this prove that EDG is stronger than Gen.G?"

"How can we compare them like this? Gen.G lost to VIT because they underestimated their opponent. The lineup they selected in the BP yesterday didn't treat VIT as human beings at all. I believe that with the lesson learned yesterday, Gen.G should start to take the group stage seriously..."

Guan Zeyuan explained.

Just as he was explaining, a netizen named "Guan Zeyuan is still being stubborn" suddenly started sending gifts in the live broadcast room of the event, and the barrage of comments was soon filled with the word "stubborn".

The equipment was quickly debugged and the competition entered the BP stage.

In this game, EDG is on the red side and Gen.G is on the blue side.

After yesterday's game, the Gen.G players have indeed become more serious. In yesterday's game, the players were talking and laughing during the BP, but now under the director's camera, the expressions of the five players are very serious.

The first three ban positions for both sides were quickly announced.

Gen.G immediately banned the strong top laners Urgot and Aatrox, and it was obvious that they were very afraid of Shen Lang, just like C9.

After the third ban, start hero selection.

Gen.G did not choose Kaisa as their first choice, but instead locked on Shen first.

"This Blue Steel Shadow holds it beautifully!"

Guan Zeyuan immediately started to praise him: "Not only can he restrict Weiwu Ge, but he can also swing. Shen is very strong whether he is in the top lane or in the jungle."

However, Nofe was not affected by the opponent's fluctuation, but locked down the Xayah and Rakan combination as planned.

Neither side deliberately targeted the bottom lane, so the Xayah and Rakan combination and Kaisa were all released in this game.

EDG chose Xayah and Rakan, so Gen.G naturally had to pick Kaisa.

The heroes were quickly locked in, Kaisa paired with Braum. The Gen.G coach knew that EDG was very good at playing early-game rhythm, so the support did not choose Minotaur, who was more compatible with Kaisa, but instead locked in Braum, who was stronger in small-scale team battles in the early stage.

It was EDG's turn again, and under Nofe's instructions, the jungler locked on Olaf.

After the third selection, continue to ban heroes.

EDG still has the top laner and mid laner left, while Gen.G has the ability to swing between Shen and the top laner, so the remaining one could be the top laner or the jungler.

Nofe simply ignored it and focused on the middle lane, banning the two heroes Galio and Taliyah.

Edgar was not to be outdone and banned Ryze and Zoe.

"Neither mid laner can pick roaming heroes, which means that the early stages of this game will focus more on the players' laning abilities. This is actually good news for EDG."

Miller analyzed.

After banning the heroes, EDG continues to make the choice.

Nofe decided to take the mid lane first and signaled the players to lock on Syndra. Since they had to fight in the laning phase, they had to choose a strong laning hero.

It's Gen.G's turn.

Surprisingly, the hero chosen for the mid lane was Lulu.

In fact, this is a sign of weakness. If your opponent uses a strong hero in the laning phase and you use a stable hero, you are already at a disadvantage.

As for the fifth floor, Edgar chose Lee Sin.

After all, Shen is still the top laner. Different from the decision of C9 coach, Edgar does not think that using a tank hero can withstand the pressure of Shen Lang. He thinks that using a strong hero is the way to break the deadlock.

In the end, only EDG's counter position was left.

Nofe did not give any suggestions. When it was their turn to choose, he looked directly at Shen Lang.

Shen Lang chooses whatever he wants to play.

"If you're fighting Yasuo...give me Irelia."

Shen Lang made a decision quickly.

Nofe nodded and quickly signaled Meiko on the fifth floor to lock on Irelia.

At this point, the lineups of both sides are determined.

Gen.G is on the blue side: top lane Shen, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Lulu, bottom lane Kaisa and Braum.

EDG is on the red side: top lane Irelia, jungle Olaf, mid lane Syndra, bottom lane Xayah and Rakan.
