"Push the base! Push the base and win!" Miller roared, focusing on true feelings.

When witnessing T1's main crystal explode into a pile of fragments, the emotions of the Haier brothers on the LPL commentary desk rose to the extreme.

"Congratulations to EDG! They did it!" Doll waved his fists hard at the commentary desk: "Double killing T1 in the group stage, sitting firmly in the top spot of Group A, they created the history of the LPL region and also broke the team history record of T1!"

"This is the first time in history that an LPL representative team has squeezed into the knockout stage as the top of the group, suppressing T1 in the same group!"

"It is also the first time in T1's ten-year team history that they have qualified as the second in the group stage!"

"T1 is known as the true elite of LCK, but EDG, as the number one seed of LPL, they want to tell everyone that what they are fighting is the elite!"

The Haier brothers' voices were trembling at the end.

If they had defeated other LCK teams, they wouldn't have been so excited.

But this is T1 in the World Championship, a World Championship giant that has brought countless painful memories to all LPL teams!

Obviously, although this was just a group stage match.

But the significance was definitely more than just a group stage match.

"Ye, this young 18-year-old player, showed extraordinary performance on the stage of the World Championship for the first time, and was not weak at all in resisting Faker, this legendary mid laner, and can even be called the greatest contributor to the whole team!"

"I think he has also proven himself once again, a proof that needs no more words!" Doll continued to praise loudly.

Listening to his partner's words, Miller was also flushed with excitement: "That's right, although this snowman who won by surprise didn't solo kill like the LeBlanc in the first game, he definitely taught everyone a lesson in a special and unique way!"

"And the infinite rhythm in the middle stage created great pressure for the whole T1 team, absolutely the key man!"

The live broadcast room fell into a carnival, obviously, this was a result that all LPL audiences did not expect.

The speed of the barrage was extremely fast, even causing the live broadcast room to stutter briefly!

【Wow, he really can force T1 to second in the group!】

【If you told me before the World Championship that EDG would double kill T1, I would definitely think it was sand-blind wind... won't this year be the most hopeful year again!?】

【I heard that T1 must be first in the group stage? Just this, just this!】

【The world of the old has ended, now is the era of the young!】

【Not to mention anything else, just double killing T1 in the group stage, none of the previous EDG mid laners could do it! Changing the mid laner is definitely the most correct decision EDG has made this year!】

The director's camera aimed at the EDG players celebrating beside the player seats.

Ye Bo, who had not yet immediately detached from the focused game content, was still looking at the damage he dealt in this game before taking off his headphones.

22,000, not bad.

Immediately after, the four teammates rushed over, clapping and hugging him, almost flying the headphone cable away.

Ye Bo was just about to speak when he saw Barrier raising his arms high, shouting words he couldn't understand.

Not only that, Flandre and Meiko, and even Viper, who was always calm, were the same.

Ye Bo could feel that everyone was venting.

Even in the peak championship year last year, EDG couldn't truly defeat T1 in the group stage, and was still reversed by losing two games in the second round.

Not to mention that humiliating history before that.

But this year, they finally did it!

Why?

Is it because T1 this year has become weaker?

The top laner changed from the rat spirit Canna to Zeus, could this possibly mean T1 has become weaker?

It's only possible they became stronger.

So anyone with a discerning eye can see very clearly that this can only be because EDG has also become stronger this year, and has become stronger by more than a little, and the magnitude is even above T1!

And the only person EDG changed was the mid laner.

"Master Ye, the two of us are really amazing!" Barrier smiled crookedly, "This big snowball directly pushed the opponent into a daze, even I was stunned!"

"I said we would definitely be able to win~" Ye Bo's expression was extremely refreshed, and he replied boldly.

"I said what I said before the game wasn't trash talk." Viper suddenly popped out a sentence, amusing everyone.

"Awesome, Master Ye!" Flandre put his arm around his shoulder: "To be honest, I could feel how uncomfortable Zeus was through the screen, he must be very unconvinced, haha!"

The Jayce in the first game and the Camille in this game were first targeted by the draft, and then continuously cared for by the mid lane.

The opponent just felt that he wasn't laning against one person at all!

"Go go go, let's go for a fist bump first!" Meiko greeted everyone to hurry and find the T1 players to fist bump, crossing the stage together.

Although there were many T1 fans at the scene, EDG was not to be outdone.

The scene is always the easiest place to be infected by wonderful performance, and at this moment, the vast majority of the audience sincerely sent cheers and applause to the winners who brought wonderful performances!

And T1's player seats were obviously a bit silent.

Zeus just lowered his head and silently packed up his keyboard and mouse; after all, as the youngest person, his first World Championship couldn't be called tasting the taste of failure, it was all a new experience.

Oner was expressionless, looking like he hadn't successfully reconnected with the brain host.

As for Gumayusi, he looked a bit dazed.

No, how did I get killed again!

It's fine that I couldn't defend against the LeBlanc in the first game.

This game's Nunu, could actually do this to a Sivir of mine!?

Just recalling the scene of being ganked in this game, Gumayusi's thoughts couldn't help but become chaotic, and even the look in his eyes when looking at Ye Bo was wrong.

Plus this guy likes to say some arrogant things before the game, seeing the boomerang fly back at the scene, it was a bit awkward.

And Keria is always the easiest to show emotions; he was holding his head with both hands, seemingly unwilling to face it.

By comparison, Li Li Xianghe's mentality was truly stable.

"It's okay, children."

"This is just the beginning of the World Championship, just work harder later."

This was just a group stage match after all.

Li Li Xianghe's professional career was really too long, and he had experienced enough ups and downs; this failure was really nothing to him.

He had experienced countless times, far more painful defeats than now.

This handshake still didn't have too much communication.

It's just that Li Li Xianghe seemed to have been staring at Ye Bo's eyes.

Ye Bo inadvertently raised his head and discovered the other party's eyes, so he stared straight at the other party—and then showed a signature bright smile.

Li Li Xianghe was stunned for a moment.

Immediately after, he nodded towards him.

And this fist bump, compared to the first round, the other four EDG members were obviously more powerful and direct.

"Actually, second in the group is not unacceptable," the Roaring Emperor on the LCK commentary desk was comforting the fans: "The World Championship is very long, whoever has stronger learning ability can come from behind!"

"That's right," T1 wolf also hurriedly maintained the home team: "T1 has enough honor records, a title of first in the group stage is harmless."

"Entering the BO5 next, that will be the battlefield T1 is best at! We must believe in them!"

Compared to the desperate maintenance of the LCK commentary desk.

The neutral European and American commentary desk at the scene highlighted a true feeling.

"The Black and White Knights of the East have become more powerful than they were last year after injecting fresh blood!"

"Ye, this mid lane genius player who emerged from the LPL region, successfully treated the match against Faker as his own performance stage!"

"Today Ye is the protagonist, not Faker!"

"Can only say I'm really looking forward to their BO5 performance after the quarterfinals..."

The European and American commentary desk had first-class ability to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, instantly igniting the scene.

However, Ye Bo couldn't hear the long string of words from the on-site commentary that was comparable to the college entrance examination English listening, and only thought it was the enthusiasm of the on-site audience, so he also happily waved to the bottom.

Then it was the on-site organizer interview session.

Ye Bo received an invitation again.

The teammates took the peripherals back, and he returned to the center of the stage.

"Let us welcome player Ye to accept the interview!"

Sjokz shouted downwards, and the applause and cheers triggered were particularly enthusiastic!

There were even many people shouting Ye Bo's ID, which really let him experience the home court treatment.

Sjokz began to smile and conduct the interview: "Congratulations to EDG for successfully taking the first place in the group stage, and also breaking the team history match record of the two teams. What are player Ye's thoughts now?"

Ye Bo took the microphone and spoke slowly.

"That is of course very happy! As for breaking records and the like... the appearance of records is just for people to break, right."

"I think, in this World Championship, we will break more records!"

Ye Bo thought for a while and added: "But the victory in the group stage is just the beginning, we will not be arrogant, we will definitely continue to work hard!"

The translation conveyed the English meaning to the on-site audience, which immediately brought a burst of howling and laughter from the European and American audiences.

Sjokz also smiled at the natural frankness of the other party and continued to ask questions.

"Then, about Nunu mid, and the mid lane Pyke in the previous game, I think this is a question that everyone is very curious about."

"Want to know how player Ye you pay attention to and develop these special heroes? After all, we all know that professional players have a lot of content to practice on weekdays, how do you have so much energy to practice these heroes?"

Ye Bo raised the microphone again, telling the truth: "For this, it should be considered a hobby of mine."

"Researching and developing these heroes is originally a way of leisure and entertainment for me, so of course I will have a lot of time to research~"

"I really like playing League of Legends!"

"And League of Legends now has nearly 160 heroes, I feel that what I know is far from enough, every hero will have his own shining point, I hope I can try more heroes in the future!"

The translation conveyed it again.

That simple "I really like League of Legends" seemed to resonate with many people instantly.

Being able to buy tickets to come to the scene to watch the game must be a League enthusiast.

And listening to the tone and demeanor of Ye Bo saying this sentence, they could only feel two words.

Pure, love.

Sjokz waited for the cheers that resounded on the scene to fall before continuing to ask: "Then next is the more cruel quarterfinal knockout stage, do you have any prospects for your future, and the opponents you might face?"

Facing this question, Ye Bo answered without hesitation.

"Winning the championship is to defeat every opponent, so who the opponent is will not affect our goal!"

"Of course, if I must say, it's still to avoid civil war as much as possible, I look forward to playing against more players, so I can also learn more different things."

"No matter who the quarterfinal opponent is, we EDG will have sufficient confidence to win the game!"

Thunderous applause resounded through the scene again.

After waving goodbye to the enthusiastic audience in Madison Garden and handing back the microphone, Ye Bo walked quickly back to the lounge.

Everyone was not in a hurry to leave, waiting for the draw ceremony that was about to begin on the scene.

However, because the scene still needed to go through the process and rearrange the scene.

During this waiting time, Ye Bo also opened his mobile phone.

First sent a message to his mom and dad, and then replied to the congratulatory messages sent by friends.

Then he opened the forum at will.

Although the game had just ended for a while, the lively atmosphere of the Internet had already begun to ferment, and the home pages everywhere were related topic posts.

【To be honest, is there any expert to comment, purely discussing strength, what level is Ye Wen now?】

【Not high, just the best in Tianjin】

【At least the number one domestic active player can't run, anyway, the last person who compared with him is probably already swimming to the Pacific Ocean】

【World Championship can have famous scenes in every game, ultimate big heart! Just this point is not comparable to those old guys!】

【Indeed, purely a big game soft-footed shrimp!】

【This is our LPL new generation mid laner, many unique skills, deep hero pool, fierce operation, and can even be a coach! All-around!】

【Could it be that the hope of domestic mid laners is really coming?】

Looking at the praise from netizens, Ye Bo's mouth rose wildly.

However, just a few floors below the post.

Found that after losing the game, even Faker was criticized quite a bit.

【Big Fly! Big Fly! Big Fly!】

【Can't suppress a newcomer in two games, don't know why you haven't retired yet, it's simply a disgrace to LCK!】

【I don't want to say mid lane gap, but this is the fact!】

【Lian Po is old, can he still eat?】

【Little Lu Bu, this Nunu is not worse than LeBlanc, right? Uncle, I raised it~】

【Feifei really has privileges, two games of invisibility and still can be rated five points, not even the Koreans themselves spray as hard!】

Someone below posted a screenshot of the Korean network.

Ye Bo finally knew that global netizens are really the same, they are all praised to the sky when they win, and trampled wildly when they lose.

Even Faker, who has the first honor, is no exception.

And obviously, the public opinion on the Korean network is completely one-sided, which is a world of difference from the joy after the group stage ended a few days ago.

【Almost enough, anyone with a discerning eye knows how weak T1 is now, they almost couldn't beat DK without Nuguri in the playoffs, and were zero-sealed by Gen. G in the finals, what is there to blow about winning?】

【In all fairness, T1 is the weakest Korean team this year, at most sitting at the same table as DRX】

【That's right, winning against T1 doesn't mean LPL is stronger than LCK, TES, the second seed, couldn't beat our fourth seed, RNG was stumbling even against our DK with four people sick, Gen. G is an invincible existence!】

【Heh, the three-time champion was demoted to the weakest representative team of LCK, it's just a group stage game, it's not like we didn't qualify?】

【They all say EDG broke into the group of death, didn't expect them to be the god of death themselves, hehe~】

【Just wait! T1 will definitely kill all the way to the finals, if EDG has the ability, roll into the finals and fight again!】

【So can you limit Ye? Why can this guy suppress the opponent no matter what hero he plays? Is it fair at all!】

【Cut, isn't it just bullying the old man, wait! ShowMaker and Chovy will make a move!】

The distribution of LCK internal fans is very extreme, basically divided into T1 fans and other team fans.

The Korean fan culture is prevalent, directly leading to the supporters of various teams being like fire and water!

The fan groups of other teams are eager for T1 to collapse, seeing the three-time champion who was blown up before the game being cut under the horse, they almost opened champagne in the forum and shouted "good death" again.

Ye Bo found it difficult to comment on these remarks.

After all, he has only played against T1 so far, hasn't played against other Korean teams, and has no right to speak.

But if he had to say, he really felt that winning against T1 was much smoother than he imagined.

Among them, his preparation being more sufficient than the opponent is the most important reason.

But T1 seemed to still be in the process of exploration, as if they hadn't been able to exert their full strength.

The two teams had played training games before, and Ye Bo was also very clear that the hard strength of the four people other than Faker was not bad, it's just that neither of these two games had room to play...

Ye Bo clicked on Bilibili in boredom.

Didn't expect to immediately brush the post-match loser interview clip of T1 that was just uploaded.

Facing the reporter's question about the first round defeat.

Li Li Xianghe answered indifferently without changing his expression: "It's a pity to lose the game, but the main reason for the defeat is that our team has many problems that need to be improved."

This Korean reporter is simply a cyber Rong Momo, continuing to ask a heart-piercing question.

"T1's record was broken, every time they participated in the World Championship before, they qualified first in the group, but this time they lost regretfully. Will this have any impact on the mentality of the teammates?"

Li Li Xianghe's expression still didn't change: "Records are created, T1 is the creator of records, and will create new records."

"We have confidence in the subsequent schedule, the result of the group stage will not affect the subsequent games."

The reporter immediately asked another question: "Then about this game against EDG, is there any player you think is impressive or particularly worthy of attention?"

This is a question that Korean reporters like to ask very much.

And especially like to ask when T1 loses a game...

And all along, Li Li Xianghe's answer has been "There is no opponent that impresses me particularly, losing the game is all our own reason."

This can be said to be "arrogant" and "stubborn," but it is actually a fact.

After all, for so many years, from Ambition, PawN, Crown, these ancient IDs, to later Rookie, Doinb, ShowMaker, Scout, and then to today's Chovy, Knight...

He has really defeated too many genius players, and it is really difficult to have people with deep impressions.

But Li Li Xianghe thought about it.

He found that there was really one person in his mind in the previous game who lingered.

"The opponent's mid laner, I hope there will be another opportunity to play against each other in this World Championship."

"The next victory will belong to T1."

Li Li Xianghe said lightly, his eyes still staring straight at the camera, as if he was conducting some kind of remote eye contact.

The eyes seemed full of fighting spirit.

This look might not have anything to others, but Ye Bo felt it seemed familiar.

I just saw it when shaking hands just now.

But Ye Bo actually had similar thoughts.

The result of defeating T1 seemed easy, but in fact, there were many dangers in the process, especially several carefully designed ambushes that were seen through and then used against them by the opponent...

The game theory and confrontation in it made Ye Bo feel that he benefited a lot.

It's a pity that the draw has a mechanism of "avoiding the same group half-zone."

This means.

If the two sides play against each other again on this S12 stage, they can only meet on the final stage of the grand finals.

And the quarterfinal draw ceremony in the live broadcast screen has already begun.
