Chapter 406: Nationalelectric

Hahahahahahaha……

Awesome, damn hahahahahahaha……

A genuine official dimensional strike, I can't stop laughing hahahaha……

Now EDG is embarrassed……

I think the most embarrassing part is those fans who previously rushed their Weibo……

Hey I say, surely no one would actually go block their embassy door, right？

No way hahahaha……

VG base, in the training room, everyone laughed until they sounded like pigs.

Liang Yan likewise felt awestruck; the piglet's combat power was truly overpowering, actually managing to rush the embassy's official account. Looking at the history of the internet since its birth, this incident can truly be called unprecedented, no wonder it will be remembered for ages.

And the subsequent development of the event also followed the same historical trajectory.

After the Polish Embassy's official account posted a statement, EDG fans were completely bewildered, becoming the laughingstock of the entire internet:

【EDG Flash Strike Poland (dog head)】

【Useless foreign chicken, lost face all the way to Eastern Europe】

【Too sb, afraid to lose at IEM so they blamed the embassy, didn't expect them to personally step forward to clarify, does it hurt your face?】

【EDG: We went to the embassy three times and were all denied visas. Embassy: Sorry, we received no materials at all】

Besides that, there are also mercilessly intense ones:

There are also those who have lost all three views:

Then someone dug up a prophecy post from a certain Antiba level‑12 bigshot posted a week ago:

【IEM just fears EDG will say on the last day that there's a visa problem

【Afraid of losing abroad and losing face, but if another team wins they'd be unwilling, so on the last day they claim a visa problem and can't go, thus they won't lose the match and lose face, nor worry about another team winning abroad and gaining fame, feeling satisfied】

The post spread quickly across major platforms.

Before, everyone was just spraying EDG for passing the buck, but once this prophet's post came out, the nature changed.

Although EDG has many fans, no matter how many they can't oppose all LPL netizens; the net's public opinion shifted instantly, EDG, having incurred public wrath, became a rat that everyone shouts at, and opening any forum you can see EDG being fiercely sprayed.

EDG's management panicked and started to think of countermeasures.

That very night when the Polish Embassy issued its statement, Changzhang replied in his own QQ fan group: it was because the materials were incomplete that the visa wasn't granted.

Immediately after, EDG's official account posted a detailed explanatory announcement, consistent with Changzhang's fan‑group statement, claiming that because the players lacked Shanghai temporary residence permits, the materials got stuck at the first checkpoint of review and could never enter the visa process.

This explanation actually matched the Polish Embassy's statement of 'insufficient materials, not submitted to the consulate for review'.

But netizens no longer trust EDG at all, obviously they won't let EDG get away with just one announcement.

After EDG issued the explanatory announcement, a user named 'Q Red also wants to keep their appetite in check' directly asked the Shanghai Police‑Civilian Direct Line official account for verification.

Such an official account of a major city is highly sensitive to online opinion; it quickly replied to that netizen's query, not only answering in great detail but also thoughtfully providing a flowchart for obtaining the temporary residence permit.

From the flowchart released by the Police‑Civilian Direct Line, one can see that the procedure for the temporary residence permit is actually simple, requiring few materials, and processing only needs a single trip to the public security bureau (a police station also works), formalities are quickly completed, and under qualifying conditions the permit can be obtained in about two weeks.

Thus, if the time IEM official sent the letter to EDG is correct, EDG indeed had ample time to complete the supplementary procedures.

So whose fault is it really?

Netizens ran around seeking verification from all sides; subsequently, the IEM official account and IEM vice‑president MichalBlichzrz successively spoke, releasing the entire contact process and detailed timeline between them and EDG.

Now there's no way to whitewash it.

EDG directly brought out the internet arguing killer move—playing dead.

They thought, since they can't clear their name anyway, they'd just stay silent; netizens' memory lasts only seven seconds, so as long as they don't keep responding, the matter will soon pass.

If it were normal times, this tactic of EDG might work.

But unfortunately, EDG happened to encounter an unlucky juncture where timing, location, and harmony were all against them; as mentioned before, it's currently the off‑season, the LPL third week matches ended on February 19, and the fourth week matches don't start until March 2!

During the two‑week off‑season, with no matches to watch, what can netizens do?

Coincidentally, IEM opens on February 22.

When LPL netizens see that IEM's schedule has no LPL teams, they recall EDG's disgusting deed, and their anger is reignited……

Thus EDG kept getting sprayed, even intensifying, giving off the vibe that EDG would not quit LPL unless they refused to stop.

Finally, EDG boss Aidezhu couldn't take it anymore.

February 23, late at night, Aidezhu posted a long article on his personal Weibo, detailing the full story of the flash strike on Poland.

In the article, Aidezhu somewhat sincerely admitted EDG's fault, and harshly scolded the staff of EDG's human‑resources and administration department.

But he couldn't hold back; in the latter half of the long article he started shifting blame to IEM officials, while also cursing the netizens:

【Finally I'll say a bit more about the self‑media and netizens who fanned the flames of this incident: you take quotes out of context, you're clickbait, for traffic and clicks you'll do anything—you even dare to photoshop the police's Weibo! We've poured so much funding and effort into the club, done so much for the development of the whole esports industry, you media that banner esports—what do you want to do? Are you preparing to destroy this industry?!】

【I'm really tired at heart】

(The Weibo post deleted the picture……)

Simply put, the meaning of Aidezhu's remark is:

【Spray‑ers, do you want to destroy China's esports?!】

Objectively speaking, Aidezhu's article is well written, and his words are only a bit over the top, not excessively so.

But there's a saying that goes well: quoting out of context comes from not quoting out of context.

Netizens didn't see anything else, they just condensed it into that final sentence.

Adding the hype from self‑media, marketing accounts, and well‑meaning individuals, the event's heat rose again to a new height, blowing up the whole internet.

It even spread abroad.

Europeans went crazy with joy.

They certainly haven't forgotten that Liang Yan once said similar things on Twitter, thus earning the title "European Electric." Before Liang Yan won the championship, this title was used to mock him, but after he led G2 to win the S6 championship, the title became purely positive.

And now, the Chinese finally have their own "National Electric"……

And LPL netizens said:

【Wow, now LPL has gathered both European Electric and National Electric; S7 will be unstoppable!】
