Chapter 168 Abu: It’s a success if you reach the semi-finals!
Xu Yuan followed the team to shake hands with a sincere smile on his face.
To be honest, he kind of knows why some people like the MSF team.
Although there is still some lack of hard power, MSF will still choose to seize opportunities when they are at a disadvantage and never give up the pursuit of victory.
Even when facing top teams like EDG or SKT, they still dare to wield the sword in their hands!
This kind of spirit is something that many teams will never possess.
Let me praise JDG in the S13 Summer Split by name.
They were pushed to the front teeth, all five of them were alive, and then it was over.
MSF cannot do this kind of thing.
"Can we meet again next year?"
When Xu Yuan shook hands with Hands Sama, he asked with a smile.
Looking at his smile, Hands-sama was a little stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, just wait for me at the S8 World Championship."
As someone who has played against Xu Yuan three times, Hands sama knows very well how powerful Xu Yuan is.
It can be said that purely from a laning perspective, he has convinced Hands sama.
This guy is really a tough guy in the lane, and Hands-sama feels that losing to him is really normal.
Players like him respect players who are stronger than themselves the most.
Obviously, Xu Yuan has already gained his approval.
Now when I hear Xu Yuan's words, I have only one feeling in my heart:
Flattered!
So faced with the kindness shown by Xu Yuan, Hands Sama chose to accept it.
Why do you say it is goodwill?
To say that he saw it in S8 is to wish him well in reaching the S8 World Championship.
This is definitely the best blessing for professional players.
At this time, among the cheers from the audience, there were not only cheers for EDG, but also cheers for MSF.
Because they deserve it!
"Let us congratulate EDG for defeating MSF [-]-[-] and advancing to the semi-finals!"
"But I think we also need to applaud MSF! They played really well today and fully demonstrated their own style!"
Remember to speak generously and show your love for MSF.
To be able to play such a game, MSF has really shown their best form.
Such a competitive attitude deserves recognition.
The audience did not hesitate to applaud and kept calling MSF's name.
This makes the MSF players very happy.
"That's not a particularly bad ending, is it?"
Assistant Ignar pushed up his glasses and showed a faint smile.
"Ah."
Hands sama nodded slightly, looked at the arena with nostalgia again, turned around and left.
Now is the time for the winners, and the losers should leave.
Come again next year!
Savior, the competition in the LPL is much greater than ours. You must reach the finals next year.
I still want to compete with you again!
On the big screen, Xu Yuan's final makeup photo appeared again.
But this time the makeup photo is not the previous one, but another one.
In this makeup photo, Xu Yuan's pose is not aggressive at all.
He stretched out his left hand to show his heart, with a bright smile on his face.
Next to it are his statistics, which are very exaggerated.
"The MVP of the third round...as expected! Not surprisingly, it was given to player Savior again!"
"So far, out of the nine small games that EDG has played, Savior has won seven MVPs. This data has already surpassed the six MVPs created by Faker in SKT in 2016!"
I remember smiling.
"But Faker is in SKT after all, and we all know that everyone in SKT that year was able to stand up. In this case, the number of MVPs means nothing, and many of Faker's MVPs were won in the knockout stages. , Savior players still have a way to go.”
The doll then added.
This is also true.
In SKT that year, there were too many people who could play C.
MVP, a selection that relies on data in most cases, will naturally be distracted by other strong teammates.
It's not that Faker isn't good enough, it's that the other teammates are equally bad!
Naturally, the one who was interviewed today... was Xu Yuan.
In fact, Xu Yuan is really a little numb. It is really annoying to have to go up to this kind of interview every time.
It's better to go back and rest quickly.
Wouldn’t it be nice to get off work early?
But there is no way. He has already won the MVP award today, so he can't find anyone else to interview him.
"Hello everyone, I am Savior, the AD player of EDG."
Xu Yuan appeared as he walked to the interview camera with a smile,
The moment the barrage... went crazy!
"Yuan Shen, hehe, my Yuan Shen! [Saliva Soybeans]"
"Yuanzi, it has been almost two years since my brother transferred to Sydney. I miss my brother in Sydney [crying]"
"Yuanzi, I just built a primary school. It would be great if you could be the stadium, so that you can set it up in my primary school."
"Damn, there are so many gay men! Fortunately, I am too, Yuanzi surpasses me!"
"I'm different from you, Yuanzi, can I supermarket you!"
All I can say is that there are quite a lot of people out there.
But although what he said was outrageous, the audience was actually just expressing their love for Xu Yuan.
Who doesn't like an AD who gets more and more fierce in foreign battles?
Big B's idea at the time was really okay, and the speed of attracting fans during the foreign war was really unparalleled.
Since the World Championships, Xu Yuan's Weibo fans have increased from more than 500 million to more than 700 million.
In less than a month, this increase is too exaggerated.
Some traffic stars don’t even dare to buy fans like this!
And Xu Yuan has never done anything like buying fans. Most of the current fans are Xu Yuan who follow him spontaneously and are real people.
Of course, that doesn't mean he must have so many fans.
Because everyone knows the push mechanism of Weibo, a large part of them chose the e-sports tag when registering and passively followed him.
But even so, the current Xu Yuan fans are also very exaggerated.
At least in the LPL, there should be no one with higher fans than him.
At most, top star players like Uzi can flex their muscles a little.
"Okay, first of all, congratulations to player Savior for advancing to the semi-finals. As the semi-finals of the knockout round for the first time in the World Championship, what do you want to say to player Savior?"
Today's host is still Yu Shuang, and the old aunt smiles brightly.
What can I say?
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
Isn't it a top four?
This was his only thought.
What kind of acceptance speech does a semi-finalist need from me?
His goal has never changed.
There is no logic that reaching the semi-finals counts as success.
For Xu Yuan, not winning the championship means failure.
It's that simple.
He doesn't like Uzi just because Uzi can't win the championship and there are so many people claiming to be the best in the world.
He is a pure champion.
So for him, the semi-finals... really didn't feel like anything.
"There is nothing to say. The semi-finals are just a short journey to win the championship."
He picked up the phone and spoke calmly.
"The only thing that deserves my attention is the winner at the finish line. Now I just want to go back and rest to prepare for the next semi-finals, so I don't have any ideas."
Yu Shuang never dreamed that Xu Yuan would say such things.
Many players are very modest and cannot directly express their desire for the main reason is that I am afraid that I will not win the championship, and then this interview will be dug up and whipped.
But Xu Yuan never seemed to have such an idea.
What a different player...
She sighed sincerely in her heart.
"Gitui? Yuanzi is still as confident as ever."
"Crazy Yuan Shen, the only one worthy of my attention is the champion at the finish line, Turtle!"
"But these words are really domineering. The semi-finals are already a result that many players dream of achieving. Some players may even think that reaching the semi-finals is success, but Yuanzi feels that there is no need to even say it."
"Support Yuan Shen! Who cares if we break the top four?"
"Indeed! As a professional player, your only goal is to win the championship!"
Next, Yu Shuang asked some other questions, and Xu Yuan answered them patiently. He also recognized MSF's performance today.
When the interview ended, Xu Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
it is finally over!
Who knows where Yu Shuang came from so many questions, it almost made him dizzy.
To be honest, it is more tiring than playing a BO5.
After leaving the venue, I still interacted with fans for a while.
Although Xu Yuan doesn't like interviews, he has always been very patient with his fans.
He went on stage to interview Sima Lian, and fans took photos with each other smiling.
This is Xu Yuan.
Facing the reasonable requests of fans, Xu Yuan will not refuse as long as he has time.
People come all the way to watch you compete. As a player, you just do what you can do. It's just signing autographs and taking photos. How much effort does this take?
However, Xu Yuan obviously underestimated his fans' love for him.
When a fan boldly handed the bread he bought to Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan subconsciously took it...
When Xu Yuan got on the bus, his EDG teammates couldn't stop laughing.
He was carrying two large bags of potato chips and other snacks in both hands, and the pockets of his team uniform were full of candies and other things stuffed by fans.
The fan packed the bread in a big plastic bag and hung it on his peripheral bag.
The whole thing is like a mobile canteen.
"Smile, smile, what are you laughing at!?"
Xu Yuan became angry from shame,
"There are some given to you by your fans, please pick them up for me!"
Everyone took the snacks.
Mingkai opened a bag of potato chips and ate them directly.
Then his eyes lit up.
"Yummy, cucumber-flavored delights, God!"
"Give me some time."
Xu Yuan stretched out his claws directly.
Although the cucumber-flavored Lays sounds a bit outrageous, he really likes the taste.
The main thing is the refreshing feeling, which is really unmatched by other pleasures.
But what Xu Yuan has always hated is the packaging of Lay's.
It's obviously just that little bit, but it has to be a big bag.
It seems like there are a lot of them!
Five dollars for fun, three dollars for air!
Even when they started eating, Abu couldn't hold back.
I opened a pack of snacks and started reviewing them while eating.
As for whether it's safe or not?
He has asked the staff to check them. They are all unopened snacks. The production date and quality inspection marks are also complete, confirming that they are produced by a regular food factory.
Everything fans feed has to be checked, and it’s the same for every club.
It’s not that I don’t trust fans, but I just want to be careful not to make big mistakes.
What if there is really something worse than poisoning?
During the review, Abramovich kept smiling and was not particularly serious.
For him, reaching the semi-finals is already a success.
EDG already has PTSD against the top eight.
Now that he has broken through to the quarterfinals, at least he has an explanation for his boss Ed Zhu, and his pressure is naturally much less.
What followed was a sudden burning ambition!
They have already reached the semi-finals!
No matter how difficult it is to win, there are only two BO5 games left in total.
Among the teams that have entered the semi-finals, who can dare to say that they will definitely win?
If they hold on to the last two, EDG may not be unable to win the championship!
Thinking of this, Abu looked a little dazed.
He still remembered the situation when Xu Yuan joined EDG.
At that time, EDG had become extremely depressed due to the departure of the mid-to-low double C.
The Spring Split was also ups and downs before Xu Yuan made his debut, and they didn't look like a strong team at all.
If you fight against a weak team, you will overturn. If you fight against a strong team, you will die.
However, this is the kind of EDG that suddenly jumped up and became the champion of the Spring Split after Xu Yuan officially reached his age.
Not only did they tie the only MSI championship in team history, but they also broke through the quarterfinals of the S competition, and are now guaranteed to be in the semifinals.
For Abu, this is all like a dream.
However, because it came so fast, Abu now feels unreal.
At the same time, there are also strong concerns about whether Xu Yuan will still be in EDG next year.
Is Xu Yuan fierce?
Of course fierce!
Is Xu Yuan old?
Of course not big!
This means that although his strength has reached the world's leading level, he is still in a period of rapid growth in strength.
Such a player can really become the soul player of a team.
Abu is already thinking about how to keep Xu Yuan when the time comes.
First of all, you must show your sincerity.
This is beyond doubt.
Because the contract is only for one year, Xu Yuan's contract with EDG will be over after he plays Texas at most after this year's S-Games.
Therefore, EDG must carefully consider its attitude towards Xu Yuan.
All the way back to the hotel where they rested, Abu asked the players to disperse.
He felt uncomfortable when he thought that Xu Yuan might leave EDG.
Now I can’t wait to ask my boss for instructions.
From Abramovich's perspective, Xu Yuan is the only one in EDG who must stay.
Although Meiko has been fighting for three years, if Xu Yuan is really dissatisfied...
That needs to be changed!
Because the importance of Meiko and Xu Yuan is really incomparable.
Of course, this is an extreme case.
Abu could tell.
Xu Yuan's attitude towards his assistants is very gentle.
Most of the time, I will play with a support, rather than asking the support to achieve something.
Even in Rank, I have never seen him scold the support. At most, he reminds the support to follow his rhythm.
Then I guess Xu Yuan wouldn't hate Meiko to the point where he had to let him go.
He coughed and took out his cell phone in his room.
Called the boss Ed Zhu's phone number.
"Hey?"
