Chapter 189: Controlling Thunder and Lightning! LPL’s three teams are in a scramble, and the draw for the quarterfinals begins!
Hearing this, the audience whispered:
“Brother Mozi is so shameless. He obviously just wants to date Rita and Luo Xin.”

“To be honest, if this behavior happened to other contestants, they would probably be criticized to pieces.”

“Haha, do you think Brother Mozi didn’t get scolded? It’s just that this guy doesn’t care at all. He has a very strong mentality.”

“What a beast! He has raped both of my goddesses…”

“…”

At this time, Ren Dong on the stage asked again: “Last question, in this game, Mozi used Nunu as the top laner, and he didn’t fight back from level 1. Fasting top laner Nunu, is this a new strategy you developed? Mozi should have spent a lot of time on this, right?”

“Also, do you recommend that everyone use this strategy to gain points, and do you recommend that other teams use this strategy to play the game?”

Su Mo replied: “Actually… these routines were developed by our coach. I just followed his instructions. After all, I am just a player. So, if you have any questions, you can go and consult Coach Abu.”

Su Mo answered this way to solve the problem once and for all, so as to avoid being asked similar questions in the future.

Inside the EDG lounge, everyone was celebrating for getting first place in the group.

But after hearing Su Mo’s words, everyone looked at Abu.

Abu quickly explained: “Why are you looking at me? Don’t you know what kind of personality Xiao Mo has?”

Of course everyone knew Su Mo’s ability to talk nonsense, but the factory director still deliberately said:
“I understand. Abu, you talked to Su Mo alone a few days ago, and then Su Mo went out to play and didn’t train with us. Now I understand that you were giving him special training and developing tactics alone!”

Meiko agreed, “That’s right, no wonder Xiao Mo’s behavior is so strange. In fact, there is no need for you to hide it. It’s a good thing for everyone anyway. As long as we can win the game, that’s enough.”

Abu was completely speechless. These guys have learned the wrong things from Su Mo. They are always disgusting, right?

[Get +5 torture points from Abu]

Just when Abu was having a headache, his cell phone suddenly rang. Abu took it out and saw that it was Ed Zhu calling. He immediately answered the call: “Hello, boss.”

“Well done, I watched the game, and we advanced as the first in the group, which exceeded my expectations, hahahaha.”

“Also, I watched the interview too. I didn’t expect that you are so powerful now, Abu, and have developed so many useful routines!”

Ed Zhu came up and started praising Abu, which made Abu speechless.

But he didn’t dare to claim the military merits. It would feel great to claim the military merits now, but it would be so embarrassing when it was exposed in the future.

So Abu explained: “Boss, actually… the routine was not developed by me… in fact, it was Xiao Mo himself…”

Ed Zhu interrupted, “Hey, I know, it must have required Xiao Mo to cooperate with you, and you two had to complete it together, I know that.”

“Boss… you may have a slight misunderstanding…”

“Give yourself and Xiao Mo a red envelope later as a reward for your advancement to the next round. Give others a red envelope as well, but I’ll give you a little more. Just report it to the finance department.”

Edzhu made the decision directly without giving Abu a chance to explain.

“I have something else to do, so I’ll hang up first.” Ed Zhu hung up the phone.

Abu looked at the phone in his hand, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.

Soon, Su Mo returned to the lounge after finishing the interview.

Seeing that Abu didn’t come up to greet him, Su Mo took the initiative to come over and said, “Brother Bu, you seem to be worried about something?”

Abu looked at Su Mo and took a deep breath, then glanced at Su Mo helplessly:
“Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Let’s pack up and go back.”

So the EDG team packed up their things and went back to the hotel together to have a meal and then review today’s game.

After the review, we had free time. We were all quite tired today, so no training matches were arranged.

Su Mo chose to go back to rest, take a shower, and then lie on the bed and look at his phone.

Now everyone in the forum is discussing today’s match between EDG and SKT.

Su Mo saw a very classic post.

#EDG VS SKT post-match rating.

Generally, after a competition is over, someone will post this kind of message, and it will receive the most replies.

There are now tens of thousands of replies to this post, which shows how popular it is.

Su Mo clicked in and took a look.

First up is EDG, the winner.

Top laner Mo.

Rating 9.9!
The following comments: “The best of the best, a new style – the fasting beast style Shang Shanyu has established a new style today.”

Su Mo saw that something was wrong and even set up a sect.

But it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t really care about netizens making fun of him.

Next is the jungle position, Clearlove7.

The rating is 9.0.

The following evaluation is: “The second jungler mainly plays the role of assisting the first jungler.”

These highly praised comments from netizens made Su Mo laugh.

Next up, the mid laner position, Scout.

Rating 9.5 points.

Comment: “I used to be your junior, but now I am your senior. Lao Deng, it’s time for me to take the top position.”

This is obviously referring to Faker. After all, he defeated SKT twice, so there is nothing wrong with saying this.

Su Mo continued to look down, ADC position, Zet.

The score is 9.9, the same as Su Mo.

The following comments: “Fuck! What did I see? EDG’s UZI!!!”

Sure enough, netizens had similar opinions. In this game, Zet was enjoying the treatment of UZI.

Finally, it’s Meiko.

Meiko also has a rating of 9.5.

The following comment is: “Second support, I suggest you learn from Mozi how support can be annoying.”

After taking a look at netizens’ ratings of EDG, Su Mo found SKT’s rating post and started browsing it.

First is top laner Huni.

Rating 3.0
This is a very exaggerated score. Generally, only very bad guys in the forum would give such a low score.

The following comment: “Paramecium can carry out simple life activities.”

Jungler Peanut.

The rating is 6.0
The evaluation was: “Complete defeat. From now on, I no longer have a psychological advantage against Mingkai.”

This evaluation is quite objective. Now Peanut no longer has any psychological advantage over the factory director, and may even be at a psychological disadvantage.

Next position, mid laner Faker.

The rating is 8.0.
The evaluation was: “Lian Po is old, can he still eat?”

It seems that many people now have doubts about Faker, which is inevitable.

On the one hand, SKT was brutally beaten by Longzhu in the summer season, and now in the S game, they were double-killed by EDG.

We cannot simply think that it is just a temporary bad condition, it may be that the strength has really declined.

Next up, ADC, Bang. Rated 6.0.
Comment: “Zet destroyed the first tower in 10 minutes, a shame for LCK bottom lane.”

Is this evaluation really not very objective? Because it’s not because SKT couldn’t win the two-on-two battle in the bottom lane, but because they were targeted.

However, this kind of post is just for fun. We are not professionals, so netizens can do whatever they want. It is normal for the evaluation to be biased.

Support position Wolf.

The rating is 5.0.
The comment was: “SKT actually had a support in the last game?”

There is no way to avoid having a sense of presence. It is easy for a support to become invisible in a disadvantageous situation, or just give away kills. If you don’t want to die too many times, you really have no choice but to become invisible.

After reading the post, Su Mo suddenly received a text message from the bank, informing him that he had received a transfer of 100,000 yuan, and the other party was signed by the EDG club.

Then, Abu sent a message in the EDG group: “We won the first place in the group stage today. The boss is very happy and has sent red envelopes to everyone. It should arrive soon. Please check it yourself.”

“Thank you boss, thank you Brother Bu, thank you God~” Su Mo went straight into the group chat and started bragging.

Nothing happened overnight, and the next day, the group match of Group B began!

Because Longzhu was in Group B, EDG took it very seriously. After the game started, Abu asked everyone to stop training and watch LZ’s game first.

The EDG players gathered together. On the screen, the players from LZ and GAM appeared and the game was about to begin.

Abu said, “Watch carefully. Although we won’t meet Longzhu in the quarterfinals, they are likely to be first in the group, but we may meet them in the semifinals. It’s always good to prepare in advance.”

After the game started, everyone on EDG felt the power of Dragon Ball.

Killing indiscriminately, to put it bluntly, it’s just like fighting a robot!
After the first game, the pressure on EDG players suddenly increased!

Meiko said, “This dragon ball is a bit abnormal. Why is it so strong?”

The factory manager muttered, “Their jungle play is very strong, and feels a bit like Mala Xiangguo, but he has more considerations than Mala Xiangguo.”

Scout commented: “Their mid laner, BDD, is really good at operation, has quick reactions, and has a deep hero pool.”

The most frightened one is A Guang.

A Guang pursed his lips and said, “Their top laner is the most terrifying. The other top laners in Group B were killed by him.”

Seeing his teammates boosting others’ morale and suppressing his own prestige, Su Mo was speechless.

Now they think Dragon Ball is very powerful, but this is actually a filter.

On the one hand, Longzhu is the No. 1 seed of LCK, and on the other hand, Longzhu and his team have many titles.

Therefore, even if Longzhu is bullying the weak teams in Group B, people will still think he is very powerful, and they will not think about whether it is because the other teams are too weak.

Thinking of this, Su Mo smiled faintly: “You are really a bit cowardly. What are you afraid of? We are still the boss of Group A.”

The factory manager immediately reacted: “That’s right, we are also very strong, there is really no need to be afraid of them, let’s clash and see who is stronger!”

Others followed suit, full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Abu smiled and looked at Su Mo meaningfully.

Everyone in EDG only watched Longzhu’s game. When other teams were playing, they went to qualifying training, which was exactly the same time.

In the end, there was no surprise at all, Longzhu won first place in the group with a record of six bars and zero.

So the rhythm of the entire network changed!

#Damn, Dragon Ball is so strong? It is destined to be the champion this year.

#SKT is a level lower than Longzhu.

#Originally, Longzhu beat SKT in LCK, you guys didn’t know that.

#WhoCanStopDragonBall? I have absolutely no idea.

Originally, EDG defeated SKT yesterday, which boosted the morale of the LPL region, but with the end of today’s Dragon Ball match, LPL fans have lost confidence again.

The next day, the group stage of Group C started.

This group includes SSG and RNG.

This is also worthy of attention for EDG, so everyone in EDG gathered together again to watch the game.

Abu said: “For us, it would be the best result if RNG can be the No. 1 seed. This way we won’t face RNG in the quarterfinals at least.”

Meiko muttered, “But we’re facing RNG in the quarterfinals. We should definitely win, right? We know each other so well. Isn’t this a good thing?”

The factory manager responded: “This is not a good thing. If we really beat RNG in the quarterfinals, once we don’t win the championship, just wait. The whole network is good at internal battles, but not external battles.”

“There’s also nonsense like owing the championship, which is equivalent to whitewashing RNG, making it seem like RNG can win the championship if they enter.”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he found that it seemed to be true and this kind of thing had happened before.

In short, if you fight a civil war in the world, the consequences will be serious unless you win the championship.

The games in Group C went more smoothly than EDG and the others had imagined. RNG only lost one game to G2, and they just slaughtered all the other teams.

Especially RNG’s SSG, they basically started to beat the opponent violently from the laning phase, and they were even more aggressive and killed in team fights.

In the end, RNG achieved an impressive record of 5-1 and advanced as the first in the group, just like EDG.

After Group C’s group stage, the online public opinion changed completely, with great trust in LPL.

#Brothers, let RNG defend the glory of LPL this year!

#Sure enough, we still have to rely on RNG in foreign wars.

#With RNG here, we can even have a chance to play with the Dragon Balls.

#EDG is also first in the group stage with 5-1, why are you so excited?
RNG fans are very happy now, one of the reasons is that Su Mo said before that SSG is very strong, stronger than SKT and Longzhu.

And since RNG can beat SSG, doesn’t that mean RNG is stronger?

The last day, Group D group stage.

WE also advanced with a score of 5-1.

Then the situation suddenly became clear, LPL had three first places in the group, but LCK had only one!
So LPL fans were completely excited:
#Something is wrong! This year is the year with the greatest hope for LPL!
#Come again? Every year I have the greatest hope, but every year I am disappointed.

#You know what, this has never happened before.

#Is it that LCK didn’t take the group stage seriously, or is LPL really that strong?

This is the change in netizens’ mentality.

They can be extremely desperate two days ago and extremely optimistic two days later. It all depends on the performance of the LPL team.

Su Mo was looking at his phone when Abu suddenly came over and said, “Let’s start. The draw for the quarterfinals has begun.”

Su Mo looked up at the screen. The EDG players gathered together to watch the Group D match. After the Group D match, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals would begin.

Now the host comes on stage and is introducing the rules.

The rule is also very simple. Teams in the same group cannot be grouped together. At the same time, the first in the group can only draw the second in the group.

There are two drawing pools on the stage. Pool No. 1 contains the first four groups, and Pool No. 2 contains the second four groups.

The guest in charge of drawing lots came on stage, and after a brief appearance, the drawing ceremony began!
The guests walked towards Pool No. 1.

According to the rules introduced by the host, he needs to draw the first place in the four groups and determine the order.

Meiko just prayed: “I hope we are the last one to fight.”

The factory manager has the opposite view: “It’s best if we fight first. A short pain is worse than a long one.”
