Chapter 48: Even Streamers Are Here For Fun
Kuaisu Xing’s expression was extremely serious at this moment, but he was already laughing inside.
This double C lineup was chosen by him, zet’s best hero is Ashe, taking Ashe and then pairing it with Card in mid lane, if they can quickly end the match early, that can only mean GT is trash, no way around it.
That’s right, ever since he learned that Abu wanted to kick him out, he started finding ways to make EDG lose, lose a few more games… It’s unlikely they won’t advance to the playoffs, but if they can’t even hold onto second place in the group, that would be worth it.
Losing another game now allows them to proceed with the second step of the plan, Xiao Xue Di’s strength is still very strong, if he continues playing matches, there might even be a situation where they lose one and then win two in a row.
Seize this opportunity to lose to GT first.
This is the weakest team in Group B, there will be plenty of operational points to exploit next.
Kuaisu Xing took a deep breath and said to Abu: “I think we need to make some changes, the current situation doesn’t feel quite right.”
Abu heard the translator’s words and looked at Kuaisu Xing with a gloomy face.
“What changes do you want to make?”
“Swap people… Xiao Xue Di doesn’t have any problems, but he also doesn’t have any standout operations, and in the current situation, this performance seems extremely mediocre.”
“Swap people?” Abu couldn’t help but turn his gaze to Li Fan sitting in the corner.
The substitute mid laner is only Li Fan, but putting Li Fan in, no matter how you think about it, feels unreliable, a guy who hasn’t played training matches for so long, coming up now isn’t that just giving away the match?
But what Kuaisu Xing said actually wasn’t wrong.
Xiao Xue Di’s current state seems unable to save EDG.
No highlights basically means just coasting.
Moreover, Kuaisu Xing as coach is definitely better than him at analyzing players.
To put it bluntly, he knows his own level, isn’t it just bronze silver rank?
Then, taking advantage of esports not being developed yet, he got into the WE team as coach, and pulled Clearlove along to come to EDG, that’s how he got this job.
Kuaisu Xing continued on his own: “Li Fan might give us a big surprise… just like his performance in those training matches back then, could you have imagined he would play that well?”
Abu nodded accordingly, indeed he hadn’t thought of it.
That’s right, what if this swap stops the decline?
Kou Rou had issues, so they swapped in Mouse.
Ai Luoli played poorly, so Clearlove rested for a while and came back.
Top lane and jungler have both been swapped, now the only position that hasn’t been changed is mid lane.
Li Fan listened to the discussion between Kuaisu Xing and Abu and felt a bit speechless.
Is this a joke, he’s actually going to play in the next match? What exactly are you guys thinking?
Is this something a normal coach would dare to do?
The last training match was over half a month ago, and ranking games were also half a month ago.
Xiao Xue Di already looked extremely upset after losing the match, and hearing Kuaisu Xing’s words made his face even greener.
To be fair, most matches are lost because of other lanes, he at most lost one or two games in mid due to being targeted.
In all fairness, in that last game he had done everything Card could do, losing under those circumstances, to be fair, it’s really not his fault.
Him as a Card can at most provide one control, in team fights the enemy damage focuses on him, what can he do?
But now, they’re putting him on the bench, how can he accept that?
But when the words reached his mouth, seeing how Kuaisu Xing was staring at him with that fierce gaze, he swallowed them back down.
He has only been playing matches in LPL for a full year.
The domestic senior-junior system is still deeply ingrained in his mind.
In the midst of this discussion, Li Fan will take over for Scout next.
……
And at this time, whether in the live stream room or the major League of Legends forums, everything fell into chaos.
It could only be called a carnival for EDG haters, despair for EDG fans, EDG seems unable to even beat GT…
The second to last team in the league, this is too heaven-defying.
You know, EDG became a powerhouse team as the one with the most LPL league championships, plus a Mid-Season Invitational championship.
Now they’ve fallen to this level.
Similarly, many fans of teams whose status is just below EDG started having ideas.
They began stirring things up in the forums.
It could only be said that the entire LPL was in chaos like a pot of porridge, the league really seemed about to reshuffle.
On the commentator desk, Wa Wa, Miller, and Rita were still chatting when they received the director’s notice that EDG is swapping in Li Fan…
When they heard this news, the three of them were truly wide-eyed, staring at each other in shock.
After all, in the entire professional league right now, he’s the only one topping the hot searches every day.
You innate FPS saint, playing what MOBA game, isn’t that wasting talent?
Especially CSGO, the domestic league needs this genius youngster to save it.
Wa Wa thought this in his heart, but of course he couldn’t say it out loud.
“Audience friends, we just got some news, EDG is making a player swap in the second game, bringing on substitute mid laner Unreal, everyone can look forward to Unreal’s first professional league match performance.”
As soon as Wa Wa said this, the bullet comments in the live stream room instantly exploded!
Mainly because this decision seemed way too exaggerated to them.
Xiao Xue Di’s performance could be considered Faker-level substitute, at least much better than this guy who never trains and neglects his duties.
The original lineup continuing to play still had a good chance of winning today’s match, but now swapping people means they really don’t want to win, it’s hard to imagine what situation would lead to such a decision?
【？？？？？？】
【EDG doesn’t want to win just say it, directly forfeit to save time on the match, wasting everyone’s time.】
【They actually put the entertainment streamer on? I said let Unreal play as a joke earlier, how did you take it seriously?】
【Abu got his head caught in a door? Daring to make this swap?】
【Scout didn’t C this game but didn’t int either, this swap is purely scapegoating】
【In my impression Unreal hasn’t even played a single League of Legends game, and now he’s playing pro?】
【Hahaha EDG started trolling, fans turning to haters】
【Innate FPS saint coming to MOBA to die?】
【Fast forward to Unreal getting wrecked】
【This coach definitely has issues, first shady BP then swapping subs, he wants to fix matches right?】
The ten-minute break passed quickly.
The staff came to the lounge again and knocked on the door of EDG’s lounge.
Li Fan followed the main team out from the player tunnel and sat in the mid lane seat… looking around.
There are quite a lot of audience members who came to watch the match live!
But he actually hasn’t prepared to go on stage yet, how did he inexplicably end up in the match seat?
ps: Begging for monthly tickets
