Cover reporter Cai Shiqi

On July 26, the Shanghai EDG.M team staged a peak matchup with Shenzhen DYG in the 2022KPL Summer Tournament A/B card position. In the end, Shanghai EDG.M 4: 3 defeated the opponent to win. Entering Group A, this is also the first time that the KPL implemented the SAB group stage system in 2021, Shanghai EDG.M entered the card game for the first time and entered Group A with this victory.

At this time, it has passed 984 days before they played BO7.

The cover news recently interviewed the captain Yuan Jun (ID: Lemon Garden) of Shanghai EDG.M. I have grown from the "little brother" to the mentality of the team leader.

After the victory of the card, "not crying" from "younger brother" to elder brother

The Spring 2018 Spring Tournament as the starting side of the promoted HERO HERO Jiu Jing (now Nanjing HERO Jiu Jing) boarded the KPL arena, and won the 2018 KPL Spring Tournament, Autumn Tournament, and the 2018 Winter Champions Cup (now the challenger The champion of the cup) can be described as "the peak of debut."

In the 2019 Autumn Tournament, Lemon Garden transferred to the Shanghai EDG.M team, and has since been the starting side. When the lean garden won the championship for the first time, the opponent on the finals was Shanghai EDG.M, which is also a wonderful fate between him and this team. However, after 2019, Shanghai EDG.M's results have not been ideal. This time, when he entered the card and won, Shanghai EDG.M finally achieved a staged breakthrough. In the documentary filmed by the club, many players and coaches shed tears. The lens of the crystal cry was also captured by operators.

Lemon Garden is now the captain of Shanghai EDG.M

Talking about the performance after this long -lost BO7 victory, Ling Gang was a little shy. He told reporters that "I didn't cry, but the training room was a bit big at that time." This actually reflected that the player's mentality happened after the team leader became leader. Change -he doesn't want to let others see his soft side, and even want to show people as a team's signboard, showing people with a strong image.

But this does not prevent his joy moved to the audience. At the Shanghai station Shanghai EDG.M recorded this victory documentary "Do you know how I have spent the past three years!" "In the comment area, in the most liked comments, fans commented" When I saw Lien Gang finally rushing out of group B with tears, maybe only the players themselves know what they long for. "

Recalling the experience of coming to Shanghai EDG.M in the past three years, Lien Gang said that several teams had been very close to the card match before, but in the end they could not seize the opportunity. At the time, I became a little unconfident. "After three years of coming, there is no score, there must be pressure ... This is how the players are. If the game has won a lot, naturally you are confident. If you lose too much, you will feel that you can do anything wrong." This season, it is wrong. " From the late round to the early stages of the second round, Shanghai EDG.M won 6 consecutive victories. Lien Gang also accumulated more confidence with his teammates, and laid the foundation for winning the battle of life and death in the peak duel.

When Lien Garden just joined Shanghai EDG.M, the star players in the team were Tao Chuankai (ID: early morning), and Liu Peifeng (ID: Langlang), which is also also experienced, although the three crowns were in hand at the time, Lien Gang said he said that he was that that. At the time, the "little brother" in the team, "the big brother is the waves." He said.

In the spring of 2021, the early morning moved to leave; in the summer of 2021, Langlang retired. At this time, Lien Gang realized that he was already the oldest player in the team, and he had to shoulder the responsibility of the captain.

From the heart straight to the mouth to be cautious

Prior to the start of the 2021 autumn, the team manager talked to Lien Gang, informing him of the responsibility of the captain. "The trainer and management taught me how to help everyone, I also feel that I can't just fight myself as well as before," he said. Since then, the border player has been more cautious in the running -in with the new generation of teammates.

Although since the SAB group stage system, Shanghai EDG.M has not been able to leave Group B for three consecutive seasons, and it has nothing to do with the cup. However, Lemon Garden has not relaxed personal training. The biggest change of Shanghai EDG.M this season is to introduce auxiliary players Jing Tong (ID: Dream), and use the self -retained newcomer shooter Huang Ben Shuai (ID: Silver), the latter and the new player who joined last season Xiong Hao (ID: Jiamu) formed the "Plan B" of the Shanghai EDG.M wild shooting combination

How to twist the mature player who transferred to the KPL arena, and the newcomer who has just appeared on the KPL arena is a new problem in front of the lime garden.

Lemon garden career is a more introverted player in the early stage

Lien Gang told reporters that in the past few years of his career, most of the time just wanted to play his own match and cut in. In that state, he found that many problems in the game would be spoken directly in the training room. Don't think about it. "I am not good at expressing in the past. Sometimes I speak heavily in speaking. I can't realize it myself, but others will sound uncomfortable." He said.

As he becomes a team leader, he needs to think from the perspective of the captain. Lien Gang realized that his former heart was fast, which may affect the mentality of some teammates. Therefore, he encouraged teammates in the training room more. When there is a problem with other people's communication, the lemon garden will also be changed to communicate with it privately to avoid combating self -confidence.

At the beginning of this season, the players of Shanghai EDG.M had different tactical implementation, and failed to seize the opportunity of the first round of group A. The introverted personality of the character did not adapt to a new environment at the time. Later, I even cried. The management of the club calls the lime garden and the dreams together, and talks with the only two players in the team in the team to talk about the knees. "The ingredients told Yan Meng," We are all very good people. The same friend, just tell us. "Yan Meng slowly unbuttoned his heart, gradually incorporated into the team, and became one of the reliable players in the team.

After staying in Group B for a long time, the teams with poor results have actually had common problems. The most obvious is that the players lack confidence, which is also easy to form a vicious circle. This time I can get out of Group B. Lien Gang feels that he and his teammates have adjusted your mentality. It is the most critical reason. He believes that the status of everyone on the day of each game has a considerable impact on the victory and defeat. He took the newcomer Sirver as an example. The "little brother" who had never seen the peak panel before. He asked him how to play before the seventh game of Shenzhen DYG. If you are confident, you can get a full output installation, and you can fight how to fight. "This also served a reassurance for young teammates.

After entering Group A, Lienxuan admits that the difficulty of competition has increased significantly. Although the team has completed the key breakthrough from Group B to Group A, they still hope that the results of this season will be "continued to rush up". The team's team is fighting themselves. If a key issue can be found, each team may be out of Group B.

In the comments of the audience who had watched the Shanghai EDG.M card position documentary, "persistence" was the most mentioned word mentioned. In response, Lien Gang said, "It's not e -sports. In fact, no matter what competition is, you must do it. If you do n’t give up, you must persist, and you must persist when you go out. "

Liencea is not satisfied with leaving Group B

For Ling Gang, "persistence" is the most basic of his professional literacy. He has adapted to the role of the captain while taking care of the new players while taking the team to climb up. The fifth year of the fifth year of his KPL field career has appreciated the scenery of the top of the mountain, and now he also experienced the re -uphill from the extended trough. What he wanted was still on the road.
