"Let's go shake hands!" Jack stretched and yawned. He still looked a little tired.
However, it was understandable. They had just arrived in Brazil two days ago after more than thirty hours of flight. Today, they had already started a high-intensity competition.
Even a normal adult would feel tired, let alone someone as fragile as Jack.
The Brazilian audience was not stingy with their applause and cheers. Together with the sound of the support light sticks hitting each other, it formed a huge wave of sound that rushed into Lin Yan's ears.
"You're very good." When they shook hands, Perkz raised his head slightly and looked directly into Lin Yan's eyes. He tried to communicate with him in simple English. "However, I'll become stronger in the next match and make you see me in a different light."
Ah P's attitude was completely different from before the match. Lin Yan did not understand what this person meant. He had thought that this guy would say some harsh words to him.
The officials did not forget to stir up trouble. They even dragged Lin Yan over for the short post-match interview in the group stage.
Winston stood at the side with the microphone and translated the female host's question to Lin Yan.
"What are your thoughts on the comments made by G2 and Perkz on the Internet yesterday?"
Lin Yan had expected this question. "I was a little surprised when I heard the news …"
He paused and said, "It should be my fault. I didn't have any advantage in the Spring Season finals with heroes like Stoneman and Ike. It might have caused his estimation of my ability to be wrong."
"I didn't expect contestant Perkz to be so confident in his ability."
Winston translated Lin Yan's words word for word.
The audience roared with laughter.
Since they were not from their division, they did not mind watching the show.
"They'll be facing SKT in the next match. I hope Perkz can struggle for two more minutes against Faker."
Lin Yan had always been a vengeful person. Since Ah P had said that before the match, he would definitely return the favor.
"Well done, everyone!" In the team's lounge, White Crescent clapped and cheered them on.
LPL was the last division to finish the Spring Season. Therefore, YM was the last team to arrive in Brazil.
In terms of team condition and physical adaptability, they were definitely not as good as other teams.
However, in the first match against the European champions, YM's 20: 0 performance proved that they were still in good condition.
…
After YM defeated G2, the first half of the first day of MSI ended, and all six teams appeared on stage.
When the second half of the competition started, it was already close to five o 'clock in the morning in China. The champions who stayed up all night couldn't take it anymore, and the audience who had a normal schedule was still asleep.
Furthermore, the most interesting match for the LPL audience, YM versus G2, had already ended. The popularity of the Chinese live-stream instantly dropped.
Guo Hao had just returned to the lounge with Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong. They had taken advantage of the competition to go out and look for restaurants that suited their tastes.
"I took a look. There's either Brazilian barbecue or Brazilian fast food with black bean rice as their main ingredient. Jin Gong, didn't you try black bean rice this afternoon? Are you used to the taste?"
Black bean meal was considered a specialty of Brazil. This kind of food was sold all over the streets and alleys. There was even a black bean stew day.
Jin Gong had just been chatting happily with Phyllostachys Pubescens. When he heard about black bean rice, he immediately shook his head. "I can't eat it. It's okay to eat it once in a while."
"True, the locals are used to it, but outsiders like us might not be able to accept it." Lin Yan sat on the chair and played with his phone. He wanted to see how the Chinese netizens praised him.
"It's okay to eat Brazilian barbecue every few days, but it's a bit oily if you eat it too often." Guo Hao put his hands on his hips. "How about McDonald's?"
Guo Hao also felt that it was troublesome.
They all went overseas to compete. The eating habits of America and Brazil were completely different from those of China. One put sugar to death, and the other was spicy.
None of the YM players could withstand spicy food. Jack, who came from Huanggang, Hubei, had a weak stomach. Liu Qingsong, who came from Hengyang, could eat spicy food, but he was afraid of getting pimples.
If they went to East Asian countries like Korea and Japan, they wouldn't have to be so conflicted. After all, Korean and Japanese food were popular in China for a reason. Although the taste was different, it was still acceptable.
It looked like they had no choice but to rely on McDonald's Big Macs and double-decker Jishi to survive.
On the big screen in the lounge, TSM and the Vietnamese big brother GAM were locked in a fierce battle. The number of kills was high, but GAM maintained the economic lead.
"F * ck, are the North Americans this bad?" Lin Weixiang put on a pair of sunglasses and put on a cool front. His legs were propped up on the chair beside him.
"They've always been bad. The point giver isn't just for show."
Lin Yan glanced at the spectator's view.
TSM made another mistake. They missed a corner of the Dragon's pit when they scanned it. Coincidentally, the Vietnamese team planted a False Eye at that location.
TSM thought that their field of vision had been cleared, so they immediately activated the Dragon.
The Vietnamese team waited for TSM's health to be reduced to half by Baron Nash's spit before moving to the Dragon's pit. They successfully wiped out their opponents and took over the Dragon.
A minute later, the Vietnamese team moved forward as a group but forgot to set up a wall. TSM's Blind Monk, a knight of the race, landed a roundhouse kick on the ADC. Once again, they were wiped out.
What a noob.
The tug-of-war lasted for 35 minutes. Finally, the Vietnamese team's GAM found an 'opportunity'. TSM's mid laner, Pearson, was careless and controlled Sindra to collide with Nanqiang's smoke grenade. Levi, nicknamed Corporal, destroyed him with a series of face-slaps.
The team battle began. Without a buff, Sindra could not find an opening to deal damage. TSM was wiped out and the match ended.
"Get ready, get ready." Guo Hao gestured for the players to enter the arena through the security check.
Lin Yan took a cup of coffee and went up the stage.
Their second opponent on the first day of the group stage was the Lightning Wolves.
[Long time no see.]
In the chat channel, Karsa was the first to send a greeting.
[Good afternoon.]
Lin Yan replied.
There was no language barrier between the two teams, so it was not a big problem to chat.
Jin Gong was exchanging tips on coping with pressure with the opposing top laner, Mimi Egg.
Lin Yan suddenly remembered that the Lightning Wolves' eating habits were similar to theirs.
[Where are you guys eating?
Hotel?]
He typed.
[…] Snakeshe did not reply and sent a string of ellipses.
[Yonghe Soy Milk.] Karsa smiled as he typed.
Lin Yan had not heard of this name for a long time. When he was young, he went to this restaurant for breakfast. Youtiao and soy milk were indeed delicious.
Does Brazil even have Yonghe Soy Milk?
(PS: São Paulo does have Yonghe Soy Milk.)
[Give me the address!]
He typed a threat. [Otherwise, your jungler won't want it this round.]
【？？？】
Karsa cursed, but he still handed the address over to Lin Yan.
"Brothers, there's a hot meal to eat!" Lin Yan was excited. "How is it? How is it?"
"Not bad, not bad. Youtiao, soy milk, and braised pork rice!" Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Half an hour later, Karsa looked at the score of 3: 17 on the top right corner of the scoreboard. He almost slammed his keyboard and scolded Lin Yan for going too far.
This person was not trustworthy!
He dealt 50 damage in 25 minutes in this round, and the rest was eaten by the opposing jungler and mid laner!
Karsa was good at calculating the jungler's position and spawning time. He was known as the jungle radar.
But it was useless against a gangster like YM.
Lin Yan and Xiao Tian were going to forcefully demolish. I'll invade the jungle in front of your radar.
Come on.
It was a 2v2. Karsa and Maple fought for two rounds and even called for support Snakeshe.
But it was useless. After fighting for a long time, they exchanged two kills, but Xiao Tian was always able to clear the junglers.
They lost a lot of money because Karsa's level could not keep up with Xiao Tian's.
In the third round, the Lightning Wolf jungler still wanted to compete with YM's jungler, but this round, Lin Yan called him a brother.
Jin Gong's teleportation made the Lightning Wolf jungler explode. Then it was another 5v2. The Lightning Wolf dropped a blood tower, and the little dragon. Then the jungler's vision was completely destroyed.
After that, Karsa could not eat any junglers, but he and Xiao Tian could be considered brothers in distress because Phyllostachys Pubescens did not have any junglers to eat.
Lin Yan alone ate all the junglers of two teams and one mid lane.
20 minutes at level 14, 270 damage. 25 minutes at level 16, 335 damage. Lin Yan's Clockwork felt like Gao Dewei's. Ghost Book + Hat + Killer Book + Landry's Torture + Staff + Boots + Spellcaster in hand.
He hid the ball in the river grass and squatted down to Snakeshe. The three QRW combo directly killed the level 11 little cutie Lulu!
In a second, the Health Bar Vanish skill reappeared!
The Brazilian brothers in the stadium roared as if they had seen Ronaldo score. They stood up and waved YM's team flag with all their might!
"What kind of damage output is this Clockwork!
Ran completely destroyed the Lightning Wolf! "The Brazilian commentator's tongue-lashing was still amazing.
Lin Yan and his teammates ate the Dragon and returned to the city. They were satisfied.
Eating resources felt good.
What kind of treatment would it be to be able to eat resources in every match?
Lin Yan's last team battle was under the Lightning Wolf's high tower. He rolled the Lightning Wolf up the wall and wanted to kill the three junglers!
He rolled QRW!
Karsa, Snakeshe, and Betty melted!
The deafening cheers and cheers in the stadium almost broke through the roof of the stadium and went straight to the sky!
"This mid laner is too scary!
As long as you let him develop, Ran will always stand up and carry the game! "The Brazilian home audience had never seen such a developed Clockwork Golem in a professional match!
"29 minutes, YM won another round!
They will face off against SKT tomorrow! "The Brazilian commentator's voice was rough and loud, full of excitement.
"Do you want to eat braised meat tonight?
It's my treat, "Lin Yan said as they shook hands. He did not mind giving Karsa a good reward.
"You guys go ahead. We're also playing SKT tomorrow. We need to prepare well." Karsa laughed and punched Lin Yan's shoulder.
Lightning Wolf was the nemesis of Korea. Eating, sleeping, and playing LCK were all reserved activities for them.
After losing to YM today, Lightning Wolf had to take down SKT if they wanted to maintain their ranking in the knockout round.
"You wait for the next group battle. I'll use Blind Monk to kick your ass," Karsa said before he left.
Lin Yan waved his hand nonchalantly. "Come to the mid lane if you can. I have Phyllostachys Pubescens. Who's afraid of me?"
However, he was not optimistic about this Lightning Wolf team. Karsa, Maple, Betty, and Snakeshe were all good individually, but their top laner Mimi was really weak.
You never knew when he would act up. Even if he did not act up, he would only be a normal top laner. He could barely win against Jin Gong even when he was at his weakest state.
This kind of top laner was nicknamed "The Best Top Laner in the Universe" by the island's netizens.
It was indeed difficult for the rest of Lightning Wolf to drag along such a teammate.
"Let's exchange contact information," Lin Yan said before he left.
"Come to my room at night." It was not appropriate for the two of them to be together during the post-match handshake. Karsa suggested, "Number 1017."
"Okay, see you then."
The two of them brushed past each other.
Phyllostachys Pubescens complained behind him. "What do you mean?
Are you looking for a new lover? "
"Don't worry. As long as you don't play wild, you'll always be my good brother." Lin Yan reached out and hugged Little Tortoise.
"What about me?" Jack moved closer to him and asked, "Am I the Devil Lee Diesen?"
"As long as you don't send me off, you're my dad." Lin Yan slapped him on the head.
In this game, Shiba Inu played EZ and was killed in the bottom lane. The E skill was always used for face jumping. It was killed after two waves of Karsa's Wine Barrel. It was like a war criminal.
Not only did Jack send himself off, he also brought Prophet with him.
Prophet was all action and no brain. When Jack ordered him to go, he would go. After two waves of death, he started to get lost. When he set up his vision in the jungle, he was caught by Karsa.
Fortunately, Lin Yan and Xiao Tian acted early and did not let Lightning Wolf successfully radiate the bottom lane advantage to the whole game. Before Snake Snake could successfully move, he had already taken off from Wuhu.
If it were not for the three big bosses in the top, middle, and jungle, YM would have lost this game.
"Oh." Jack held his head and replied.
"If you mindlessly send me off when you play EZ again, I'll beat your head small!"
Lin Yan bent his arm. Brazil was too hot. He was wearing a short-sleeved team uniform. When he bent his arm, one could clearly see the lines of his muscles.
He had broad shoulders, long arms, and a slender figure. He looked very similar to Karsa.
In terms of body size, Lin Yan was not particularly strong among ordinary people, but he had no problem beating Jack.
"Is there such a good thing?" Phyllostachys Pubescens was excited. "Isn't this what Jack wants?"
The group bowed and left the stage, walking toward the players' tunnel. Xiao Tian's eyes were bright, and he was still talking.
"Brother Ran, can you help me grow taller?" He waved his arms like he was flapping his wings. "The kind that pulls me up a little."
"How tall are you?" Jin Gong asked. "Are you 1.65 meters?"
Xiao Tian's face turned red. "Don't embarrass me. I'm 169.5!"
"You're 1.69 meters?" Jack laughed. "Then I'm 1.70 meters?"
At this time, they were still developing. Jack looked slightly taller than Xiao Tian with his big head.
"Why don't you guys believe me?" Phyllostachys Pubescens rubbed his head, feeling wronged.
The group ran to find Yonghe Soy Milk. The shop was not close to the hotel, and it took them an hour to get there.
After three days in Brazil, the YM team finally had a hot meal to their taste.
The braised meat rice was very fragrant, and the soy milk was mellow and sweet. Lin Yan felt like he was a child again.
He felt that he had to reward Karsa.
Guo Hao saw that the team members were full, and Jin Gong had finished two bowls of rice. He was finally relieved.
He saw that the shop was too far away from the hotel. It was unscientific to eat here every day. The Brazilian take-out industry was not developed, and there was no city-wide delivery service.
Guo Hao could only ask the shop to prepare lunch and dinner in advance every day. He sent someone to pick it up from the hotel.
Although it was a little troublesome, at least it solved the problem of food.
