Chapter 395 So, it turns out Daddy wasn't here.

After the competition ended, the factory manager and his team returned backstage, and each of them consciously found a place to stand; not one of them dared to sit down.

Abu's eyes were practically spitting fire as he scanned the group, his face clearly showing his disappointment and frustration.

However, Abu's gaze was nothing compared to Li Chen, who was staring at his phone and occasionally chuckling, which made the factory manager and the others feel a chill run down their spines.

Given Li Chen's current domineering presence within the EDG team, even a single glare from him would send several players trembling.

However, Li Chen really didn't have time to curse right now. After all, it was just a loss, which was a normal thing. What really made this match famous was the economic disparity between the two sides.

For example, netizens are all improvising and writing extensively about the match on the anti-racism forum.

Opinions among netizens regarding the SKT players are actually divided. Some think SKT faltered and fell too far behind in the early game, while others think SKT is very strong and can turn the tide even when they are 10,000 gold behind.

However, opinions on EDG's future performance have become more consistent.

Li Chen was thoroughly enjoying reading the ratings and comments from netizens.

Abu refrained from cursing, and after Nofe explained some of the mistakes made in the previous game, he nudged Li Chen and asked, "Chen, stop laughing. What do we have to say now?"

"What do you mean?" Li Chen looked up, his eyes clear like a college student's.

Abu asked, "We're going to have to play a tiebreaker, aren't you going to play in the next game? If we lose again, we'll really be second in the group and we'll have to advance."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen frowned slightly and said in a somewhat serious tone, "Manager, you need to have confidence in your team. Didn't they play well today? I think they played very well. They won two out of three games, isn't that good enough?"

Furthermore, it wasn't that they couldn't beat SKT in the last game; they just became a bit careless because of their huge early-game advantage. I don't think you can dismiss them like that. I believe they can definitely do better in the next game.

Li Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally powerful. All the team members, especially A Guang, looked at Li Chen with some emotion after hearing it.

However, Abu, as an observer, was not so easily fooled. He felt that Li Chen just wanted to slack off and use his teammates' failures to highlight his own success, and that any other reasons were nonsense.

But since things had come to this, he couldn't say anything more. He could only sigh silently and say, "Since Ah Chen believes in you, then you should do your best in the next game and not lose again. Otherwise, even if you finish second in the group, you'll still get criticized."

"It's impossible. We'll definitely beat SKT in the next game. I've figured them out." Clearlove was full of confidence, clearly inflated by the early advantage he gained in the previous game.

A moment later, Abu watched the crowd walk towards the players' bench, then turned and asked, "Do you really think they can win?"

"Coach Bao, you can trust me!" Li Chen said, patting his chest.

Forty minutes later!

Miller said with some disappointment, "So after a 40-minute battle, SKT finally won this tiebreaker and will advance to the quarterfinals as the top team in Group A."

EDG, the team we had high hopes for, only managed to advance as the second-place team in their group after losing two consecutive matches to SKT. We hope they can make good adjustments in the coming days, and we also hope that C-God can recover soon.

Rita seized the opportunity to say, "Actually, the group stage rankings don't matter much. The knockout stage is the real arena. I believe that once C-God recovers, he will definitely be able to lead the team to the end."

[Geneva refunds money? Is this how they treat us?]

[Hey hey hey, how come the number one seed qualified as the second seed?]

Who knows? Maybe they felt uncomfortable being in first place.

Still laughing? Let's see if you'll still be laughing when EDG faces your favorite team in the quarterfinals.

[It feels like the sky is falling for some teams.]

Inside the RNG team's training room at the hotel, Uzi slapped Letme's thigh hard: "Holy crap, how could EDG be like this? How did they even qualify as second place? What are they going to do if they meet them in the quarterfinals?"
