Chapter 51: A Dispute Erupts After the Match
Chapter 51: A Dispute Erupts After the Match
"They got wiped out again. Why did EDG engage in this fight? They shouldn't have engaged at all, especially with Akali's ultimate off."
Miller's voice betrayed his confusion.
"The key is that Baron Nashor is gone. At this point, even if Renekton has activated his ultimate, he can retreat."
The doll said helplessly, "So this spark was extinguished immediately."
Taking advantage of the momentum, they pushed down the Baron Nashor high ground, and the IG team reaped a great harvest. With the Baron buff, they recalled to base and upgraded their equipment.
At this point, IG had a lead of 8,000 gold.
After easily securing the fourth Fire Dragon, the IG team gathered and destroyed EDG's second bottom lane tower.
Using the super minion wave in the mid lane, they continued to push forward and easily took down the bottom lane high ground.
At this point, Forge proactively initiated a team fight, pushing down the crystal inhibitor turrets while engaging in combat.
Ultimately, the EDG team was melted in the fountain by TheShy's Ryze's explosive damage.
After wiping out EDG, IG then chose to destroy the crystal.
The battle anthem began to play!
"IG has ended their slump and secured this crucial victory."
Rookie, who was watching the game, had a feeling of, "Huh? Is it something wrong with me?"
Wawa joked, "But this match really showed a change in the entire IG team."
"The new coach's draft picks, the team's communication after Baolan's return, and the control of vision have brought about significant changes."
The camera switched from the game to the players' perspective, and the IG team players stood up and headed towards the EDG booth from front to back.
All five contestants, and especially the fans in the audience, had smiles on their faces.
IG players' rest area.
"Chen Song, where are you going?"
Mafa couldn't help but turn around and ask further.
The moment the EDG base crystal exploded, Chen Song had already thrown off his headphones and jogged towards the outside of the rest room.
Mafa was puzzled.
Su Xiaoluo was equally puzzled.
At this moment, Chen Song had already jogged off the stage.
First, he high-fived TheShy.
Then Ning, Forge, and finally JackeyLove and Baolan.
After facing setbacks following his rebirth, Chen Song has now temporarily coached IG and won the game. It would be a lie to say he isn't excited.
Chen Song was very glad that IG chose him and even temporarily appointed him as the team's coach.
EDG is a very good team; I could tell from the very first game of the BO3 series.
Fortunately, they used a clever trick in the second and third games, which allowed them to win the BO3.
......
The news of IG's comeback victory against EDG, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1, quickly went viral and spread across Weibo, Tieba, and a series of trending topics.
Weibo's trending topics list.

[Fellow family members, does anyone know? Don't you think IG's new coach is quite handsome?]
I cried when I saw the new coach high-fiving the players offstage after the game.
[With a new coach and a changed playstyle, IG is back.]
[IG fans, don't get too excited yet. Changing coaches is like changing weapons; they were just lucky to defeat EDG on their first try. Wait until they face FPX and RNG before you get too excited.]
......
Meanwhile, the post-match interview session is ready.
The invitees were JackeyLove and Baolan.
"Alright everyone, welcome to our post-match interview segment. I'm your host, Liu Hang."
First of all, congratulations to IG for winning today's match.
After a brief opening, Liu Hang seized the opportunity to ask a question that fans were very interested in: "I especially want to ask the first question: Baolan returned to the field and won the game. What are your feelings and emotions?"
Baolan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I found the match very interesting, and my teammates played exceptionally well today, which is why we won."
"The match was very interesting."
Liu Hang repeated himself, but Bao Lan's answer was clearly not what he wanted.
So he turned to JackeyLove and asked, "How did you feel when you found out you were playing with Baolan in today's match?"
JackeyLove understood that Liu Hang's question today was aimed at Bao Lan.
He has never been a person who speaks without thinking.
After a brief pause, JackeyLove gave a very official answer.
"Because... we used to play together a lot, so if we play together, we can play just as well as we used to."
"I feel more at ease and reassured when I'm with my old teammates." Liu Hang persisted, continuing to press Bao Lan: "Today's opponent, EDG, has actually been in very good form since the start of this season, achieving a three-game winning streak."
Did Baolan ever imagine that he would defeat EDG 2-1 today?
Bao Lan slowly moved the microphone to her lips.
This question touched on his true feelings.
It can be said that I am able to stand here today, and all the credit goes to Coach Chen Song.
Bao Lan was always grateful to Chen Song, who not only patiently helped him mentally prepare and encouraged him, but also encouraged him to use the Gemstone Harp Girl.
So Baolan didn't hesitate or consider the consequences, and spoke her mind without restraint.
"I have thought about it, because IG's players are all very strong, and they seem to be a team with a very high ceiling, which I believe everyone knows."
"Especially Coach Chen Song, I think he is extremely talented, so even if EDG is very strong, I think we can still win."
"Wow, that's well said."
As a commentator, this was exactly what Liu Hang wanted to hear, but he didn't expect to actually pry some things out of Bao Lan.
Liu Hang then asked some questions about the team composition. Compared to Baolan's earlier answers, JackeyLove was much more official in his responses to the later questions.
Actually, after Bao Lan finished answering, the person he most wanted to interview immediately was Chen Song.
The new coach's temporary appointment and subsequent comeback victory against EDG, after being down 1-2, will surely generate a lot of news.
However, there was no team interview segment during today's regular season game, so he will have to wait for the next opportunity.
......
"Baolan...you're really setting me up for a disaster..."
Seeing Bao Lan return to the lounge, Chen Song smiled wryly.
"Coach, didn't you tell me I had to be confident?"
Bao Lan revealed his braces and smiled innocently.
"That's right, you are the best coach."
JackeyLove laughed and agreed, "I believe you can replace Karam."
"Let's go, let's hurry up and pack up to get back to base, we still need to do a debriefing later."
Chen Song's words left the contestants staring in bewilderment.
After finally winning the game, shouldn't we treat ourselves to a nice meal?
Ning, in particular, kept clamoring to go to Haidilao, only to be rebuffed by Chen Song.
"After fighting like this, how dare you suggest going to Haidilao?"
Inside the IG team bus, Ning, clearly dissatisfied, stood up and said, "Coach, we didn't play well in the first game, but the second... and the third..."
"There's a second and a third game, so you think you've played perfectly well, right?"
Chen Song sneered: "I'm not trying to discourage you, but do you really think winning the second and third games has much to do with you?"
