Chapter 80: Truly Slayed The Haters Dead!
Yu Luo shouted and didn’t forget what the most important goal was today. He first took the camera and recorded the fan group.
“Camera! Camera follow up! Give close-up! Record our lineup, edit the video later, title it《Haters speak! See what real offline strength is》!”
Several burly brothers holding CSGO and Crossfire badges came over at this time.
This operation and this spectacle directly stunned the League fans around who were originally shouting “EDG come on”.
For a moment, they forgot to chant slogans, and many were dumbfounded looking at this large group composed of multiple fan groups.
“No way, you guys really came?”
“Convinced, we got ambushed this time. With just us one or two haters, better not stand out and shout with them. They have strength in numbers.”
“True… but Unreal actually has so many braindead fans? They really came offline to shout?”
“Shh, keep it down. Those two veterans holding Crossfire badges are staring at us. Their fist muscles are pretty big.”
In the EDG team, meiko couldn’t help poking Li Fan’s lower back and whispered: “Fan Ge, your fan group has something.”
Li Fan himself was a bit surprised. He knew he had some fans from other games, but he didn’t expect them to organize in this way and come to the LPL offline match to support him.
This was a very large group.
Looking over, there were at least sixty or seventy people…
The last time he played a match, someone came to the site to cheer for him.
But those were individual small fans.
Coming in such a big group to form a collective was the first time.
Then he first saw Yu Luo standing at the front.
Mainly because of the badge in his hand: Bilibili UP main Unreal’s little fanboy.
He watched his edited videos to sleep every day and couldn’t help sighing how sharp the operations of the editing protagonist were.
Turns out it was himself? Then no problem!
Li Fan nodded slightly towards that side and gave a thumbs up.
This one action made Yu Luo’s side even more pumped up like they got chicken blood, and the cheers rose another octave.
“Unreal play well in today’s match, slap these haters in the face.”
“Haters speak! Online all haters, offline all fans?”
“This is the worst game you play among all your games, yet even in the worst game, on the professional arena you can still dominate wildly!”
This noisy shouting made the nearby security very nervous and hurried over.
After all, with so many people, naturally afraid of troublemakers.
This “gang” came down and started shouting loudly, obviously not friendly.
Better come over first and keep an eye on them.
Abu looked at this chaotic yet somewhat funny scene and quickly urged the teammates: “Hurry, hurry, don’t block the player tunnel.”
But the suppressed smile at the corner of his mouth still exposed his real thoughts. This wave of rhythm, though outrageous, seemed… not entirely a bad thing?
At least this topic degree and fan cohesion was unique to EDG.
Li Fan this guy is really outrageous. Never expected a League of Legends professional player to have so many fans from other games.
Clearlove walked forward while laughing.
This scene was also posted to Weibo by EDG fans.
But surprisingly, no haters came to spray.
Mainly that sentence shouted by the Crossfire bald muscular big brother was too piercing.
Could it be haters only spray online, and offline all are fans?
This is top-level open scheme…
If cursing online, wouldn’t that fall into the despicable Crossfire player’s trap?
So most discussions here are from Li Fan’s fans.
【I saw them calling to go offline to support a couple days ago, but unfortunately I couldn’t make it, otherwise I definitely would come.】
【Damn, feels like it’s fun offline.】
【Isn’t Crossfire all elementary school kids? How come two big men there? No wonder no haters offline. These two big men could take on a group, right?】
【Next match I want to go onsite too, feels very fun.】
At this time EDG had arrived at the backstage lounge, sitting in the lounge watching today’s second match.
NB VS VG.
VG this galaxy battleship is not in a good situation now.
Every year gets the harshest beating. Now LPL league canceled promotion/relegation from Summer Split, but now points are in relegation zone.
Making VG with Hou Ye and bengi in a very awkward position.
After all, no matter what, this is SKT’s mid-jungle duo.
They won the World Championship.
Yet coming to LPL they get dominated wildly, now even to the point of relegation.
Honestly… directly dropping the Korean import rating by several levels.
Turns out not all Korean imports work out.
Similarly, putting huge pressure on VG’s top and bot three players.
Outside evaluation of them is, even champion mid-jungle can’t carry you three.
In this situation… indeed a bit hard to hold.
But NB due to Wu Zhuang Tai’s ban, starting mid laner became CoCo.
Wu Zhuang Tai although a noob, still much stronger than CoCo.
Mid lane gap directly amazingly large.
Easyhoon also has a hand at ordering food.
bengi although somewhat lost on field, still didn’t affect VG team 2-0 taking NB.
Just these two games took a bit long, average to forty minutes.
Noobs pecking each other in such long bladder games, really making everyone drowsy.
But at the moment the match ended, everyone perked up.
One by one excitedly typing in public screen, today’s focus match finally about to start.
Originally scheduled for 7 PM, directly delayed to 8 PM start.
Both coaches leading teammates from player tunnel to contest seats, while walking didn’t forget to exchange, WE could clearly feel their full confidence.
WE current stage B group first, double C all data first, this indeed their confident foundation.
Xi Ye tone full of certainty: “Brothers, today watch me mid lane order food.”
Obviously still deeply impressed by being exploded in lane by Li Fan in training match, eager to get back this face in the match.
“Believe you can do it, President Su!”
“Get lost! What sarcastic crap are you on, Kang Di!”
Then back to business: “Unreal’s champion pool is just those few. Can’t suppress me online. I take LeBlanc, Syndra, not afraid to fight him. His those heroes on paper I can all handle.”
“I feel he can’t give me too much pressure.”
Saying this with very confident tone.
Kang Di hearing this smiled, no longer joking with Xi Ye: “OK, you mid stable push lane, I’ll take more care of bot. Their bot lane matchup intensity average now, I find chance to gank one wave, bot collapses I control dragon this game basically won.”
Hong Mi listening to their exchange, didn’t participate.
Tactics deployment always very clear, mid-bot dual core drive, Kang Di’s map control and neutral resources control is team’s important guarantee.
How exactly executed in game depends on players’ playstyle.
Of course didn’t forget to remind: “Very good, very spirited. Keep this we’re invincible, but don’t underestimate enemy. Unreal this player very strange, all data fake, everyone be careful. Clearlove very likely always revolve mid to play.”
“So Xi Ye remember your jungle suppression ok, but vision must be done well, prevent ganks. We play our rhythm, big win chance.”
……
“Your energy exceeds your imagination, thanks to Warma Energy Drink’s strong support for LPL.”
Sitting on the right Rita no longer as nervous as Spring Split just commentating, facing director’s lines all said very fluently.
After Rita finished, Wa Wa in the middle then spoke.
“OK, now both teams seated at contest seats. Believe everyone has looked forward to today’s match for a long time.”
“Yes, EDG and WE confirmed equipment no problem, match will start soon.”
Wa Wa smoothly tossed topic to two partners: “So the question is, Miller, Rita, for today’s focus war, which side do you two favor more?”
Miller adjusted glasses: “Um… honestly, both teams current state very good. WE B group first, double C data very gorgeous, team cooperation also outstanding.”
“But EDG recently after putting Unreal on field, mid-jungle chemistry reaction surprising. Unreal this player very strange… although no ranked data, but effect on arena very exaggerated.”
Miller very seriously analyzed and stated his view: “Xi Ye although current LPL data ranking first mid laner, but facing hot state Unreal, I feel laning phase may not gain advantage.”
“Plus Clearlove today looks full of fighting spirit, very likely revolve mid to make article. So I think, win condition maybe in mid-jungle confrontation. Who gains mid-jungle advantage, who masters match initiative.”
“Fifty-fifty, slightly favor WE a bit. After all their overall stability higher.”
After all now B group first, synergy very perfect.
EDG looking at previous two matches state has chance, but this chance shouldn’t be too big.
Saying fifty-fifty still giving face to so many onsite fans.
Rita then smilingly expressed her view: “I maybe favor EDG more. Like Miller teacher said, Unreal player recent state really very hot, whether rank or previous matches, showed extremely strong carry ability.”
“Oh?” Wa Wa and Miller both quite curious, didn’t expect Rita to say this.
Usually Rita would say her view similar to others, belongs to repeating once.
“Mainly look at him today still so many… um, fans come onsite support Unreal. I feel this offline atmosphere may give player extra incentive.
WE of course very strong, but if EDG mid-jungle can play rhythm, bot stable, their upper limit I feel higher a bit. So I vote EDG.”
Hearing this, Wa Wa and Miller both laughed.
Director also very sharp-eyed, at this time directly switched camera to Li Fan’s offline fan group.
And these fans really very show effect.
The one holding QQ Speed badge actually really brought out a Renault, driver’s seat specially P’d Li Fan’s avatar, next to someone holding black Go piece.
At this moment the Renault directly crashed into the black Go!
【Grass!】
【Invincible! QQ Speed player really has moves!】
【What meaning? What meaning I didn’t get it?】
【This is already Level Five Stone opening teamfight, what you still meaning here? Very obvious Unreal Speed crashed the hater away.】
The three commentators on protocol holding back laughter too uncomfortably.
But onsite audience watching this scene on big screen all burst laughing.
“Good material!” Yu Luo immediately captured recording, then in heart prayed today’s match must win. As long as win, post this offline video, definitely explode big.
Similarly… if lose, their various game groups coming offline fans definitely get taunted to death. That previous face-output would become clowns.
“OK audience friends, both entered BP phase.”
“EDG VS WE first game officially started. Blue Side EDG, Red Side WE.”
“EDG here ban Kled, Graves, Rengar.”
“WE ban Lucian, Sejuani, Jarvan IV.”
“Both in first round team all chose ban two junglers, one mid laner.”
“Um… mid laner not easy to say?”
“zet his Lucian proficiency not that high, bot lane take this hero possibility not high. While Unreal in previous matches picked Lucian performance very eye-catching.” Miller explained here.
“Right, that’s true.” Wa Wa nodded.
……
EDG contest seat, Clearlove saw his Jarvan IV gone and frowned.
Their BP here actually wanted to trick a bit.
Banned Kled, but let Syndra through, purpose to make WE gamble one hand, give Jarvan IV to them.
Result didn’t expect they still chose to ban Jarvan IV.
“Opponent so confident? Just let Syndra to me?” Li Fan rubbed hands. This meaning not Xi Ye looks down on him.
Feels mid lane no need to target…
“Then how you pick?” Kuaisu Xing asked.
“Maybe trap? Let Syndra to us then made arrangements.” Tian Ye said.
“Not bad, Syndra let them take also ok. We first take top lane.”
“OK.” Kuaisu Xing saw Li Fan so confident, he also gained confidence.
Top lane directly took Maokai.
WE first and second floor no hesitation, locked Camille and Syndra.
Xi Ye corner of mouth slightly up… since you no confidence take Syndra, then give to me. Don’t lack laning courage, yet pick Lulu.
Li Fan laughed. You so confident then play with you.
“Brother Kai we play Kha’Zix Taliyah mid-jungle ok?”
Know Li Fan now learning points not lacking. Dream practice hero speed very fast. As long as matched teammates not too outrageous, can stable two days one four-star hero.
Now four-star heroes successfully expanded three more, has Syndra, Lulu, Lucian, Vladimir, LeBlanc, Orianna, Ryze, Taliyah.
And Taliyah this one even cost full fifteen hundred points, increasingly feel framed by capital.
Mainly three times teammates not human. If not top laner magic king, right funny… jungle king.
Hard pit three times, to pull proficiency to four-star.
But Taliyah is Taliyah. Current stage laning strong, support top-tier.
Cooperate with jungler Kha’Zix has extreme top-bot radiation ability.
Of course you gotta push lane past, otherwise Taliyah’s effect can’t come out.
“Not Lulu, newbie quite confident.” Xi Ye felt this game won.
“Farce completely ended!”
Soon both lineups determined.
Blue Side EDG: Top Maokai, Jungle Kha’Zix, Mid Taliyah, Bot duo Varus with Tahm Kench.
Red Side WE: Top Camille, Jungle Excavator, Mid Syndra, Bot duo Sivir with Karma.
