"Mr. Su, are you confident?"
Lin Yan and his teammates were sitting on the sofa when they saw Xi Ye leaving the lounge with his keyboard.
"Why are you here again, you jinx?" Xi Ye said in disdain. "Last year, you were the one who cursed us to lose our spot …"
"You're making me the scapegoat?" Lin Yan was surprised. "Shouldn't you be on Ouze's team?
Last year, he sent you guys back to your hometown in the bubble tournament. This year, he also stepped on WE to enter the finals. Otherwise, you guys could have gotten the second seed with your points advantage. "
"It's all Ouze's fault. You guys have to find the right person to take the blame."
Uzi, who was sitting on the side, smiled helplessly and said nothing.
As he grew older, Ouze gradually matured.
Although the netizens joked that he matured once a year, Ouze's EQ was indeed much higher when it came to League of Legends ranking and competitions.
"If we don't win EDG today, you'll have to take the blame." Xi Ye was in a hurry to go on stage. He didn't say much to Lin Yan and left with his peripherals after exchanging a few pleasantries.
Lin Yan lay on the sofa and watched the players and coaches of the two teams walk to the stage with serious expressions.
He specially observed Kang Di and saw that the dark circles under Long Zhizi's eyes were much lighter than before. His estimation of WE's strength had increased by another level.
According to his conclusion, Kang Di's dark circles were inversely proportional to his condition. The heavier the dark circles, the worse his condition. Today, Kang Di's condition was much better than before.
"It's so enjoyable to be able to sit here and watch bubble tournaments every year. What if we always win the league …" Lin Yan snorted and moved his body to a more comfortable position on the sofa. He was playing with his phone.
The family member sitting on the other sofa was hit in his sore spot. When he heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy. He was about to transform into Hei Xiaohu again.
"Let's welcome the two teams to the stage …" Host Zhu Zhen's voice was amplified in the middle of the stage.
Lin Yan took advantage of the fact that the match had not yet started and turned on his phone to surf the forum.
After the LPL summer finals came to an end, the forums were flooded with discussions about the bubble competition.
Many people were still feeling regretful about yesterday's elimination from IG. This year's IG competition with The Shy and rookie as the core was extremely entertaining. Even if the top laner, The Shy, dared to kill, the show's effect was much better than the operation team's brainless postproduction.
And today's match between WE and EDG was the focus of attention. Both old and new grudges would be avenged.
Ever since Konoha's Defected Ninja Factory Director, Curly Hair, and Abu's defection, from the top management of the club to the ordinary fans, there was basically no one who didn't hate EDG.
Their grudge with another ancient powerhouse team, IG, was just Nongfu Spring's 140 ping. Over the past two years, their relationship had eased, and players like The Sh and Ben had been trading with each other.
On the other hand, they had a blood feud with EDG. Normally, they couldn't wait for the other side to die. From Thousand Pigs Tower to Flash Strike Poland, whenever EDG got into trouble, WE's top management and fans would definitely be there to watch the show.
Today's bubble competition would determine the LPL's last ticket to the global finals, which meant that one team from EDG or WE would definitely end their S7 season.
In this kind of life-and-death competition, both clubs had given orders that they had to win.
Before the start of the competition, the eSports forums were already abuzz.
Although the team's results had been lukewarm ever since WE 1.0, 60e had learned the art of playing dead from their old rival, IG Doggy. When they had nothing to do, they would hide in the forums as bystanders. If there really was a big move, they would immediately surface. After all, A Cart of Bread was a professional at tearing apart Piggy.
Piggy and Starch were not to be outdone. Before YM's fan base rapidly expanded, Piggy had once dominated the eSports forums. Their self-created Depression Swordsmanship, Maoshan Taoism, and Weibo Cremation were all unique skills. They were not afraid of WE's fans at all.
The fans of the two teams were fighting. Yesterday, the home team was personally eliminated by EDG. They were not afraid of making things worse. Once again, they activated their diving skills to hide the dog tags that they had just taken out this year and had yet to wipe off the dust. They pretended to be pure passersby to stir up trouble for both sides.
Their specific actions included but were not limited to: [I think Xi Ye is better than Scout. How can Lu Sankneel be compared to Wang Zai?]
[Xi Ye, this trash is making me laugh to death. I hope that WE'll have Xi Ye who can be ranked in the top 10 …]
Then, other people, including but not limited to Optimistic Family, OMG fan 59e, YM fans nicknamed Wool, and Royal fan Sludge Monster, all joined the battle. Everyone was wearing 60e and Piggy's skin. From Tieba to Tiger Pounce to NGA and Weibo, all the eSports discussion boards were instantly filled with smoke.
The entire LOL eSports forum was a mess!
Lin Yan felt that it was boring after scrolling through two pages of comments. The fans' pre-match arguments were nothing more than using their dark history and previous battle results to poke at each other's sore spots and vent their anger through online platforms.
It was not that there were no quiet and peaceful fan circles, but that was because the fan base was too small.
YM's fans were also very low-key when they were in the secondary league. Now that they were promoted to LPL, especially after winning the S6 championship, their number of fans skyrocketed. Their fans were even more ferocious than the Piggies who had won the mid-season championship. They had the potential to dominate the LOL eSports forums.
In fact, the fan base was also a mess. Some liked to look at the face, some liked the hard strength of the players on the field, and some liked the effects of the players' live broadcasts …
Lin Yan put down his phone and calmed himself down. He planned to watch the live broadcast of the competition.
In the first game, the two teams fought fiercely. After 30 minutes, both teams lost the high ground in the middle lane. In the end, during the final battle with Primordial Dragon, 957 stood out.
He strangely teleported to the back, allowing his Zerg to directly attack iboy's back. He used Silence and Stomp to kill the ADC in one combo. The other four members of WE swarmed up and killed all the opponents except for Factory Director. They took down Primordial Dragon and ended the game!
The fans of WE were overjoyed at the start of the match. Although they had been arguing with Piggy on the forum for a long time, they subconsciously felt that EDG had a better chance of winning this match. After all, Ancestor Saiwen's ability in internal battles was on par with Big Brother North America. He was terrifyingly strong.
In the second game, WE became more and more courageous. Xi Ye's Rock Sparrow kept the situation under control and cooperated with Kandi's Princes to firmly suppress Ghostfoot Seven. In addition to Brother-in-law's unstoppable damage, they won again and took a 2: 0 lead over EDG!
This time, Wukesong Stadium was bustling with noise. The fans holding up WE support signs passed through the entrance and into the ears of more than ten players sitting on the sofa.
"Xi Ye is quite strong today." Mi Dehu was a little smug when he talked about Xi Ye. "I still have to deal with him in LPL."
"Everyone, follow me to the changing room and change into your clothes."
As the deciding match approached, Winston hurriedly ran over and brought the two teams' players to switch out 'Conquest'.
Last year, LPL made an awkward move and let the ugly Conquest descend from the sky. The players from the three teams were forced to wear bright red jackets that were as festive as a wedding ceremony on stage.
This year, they learned their lesson and let the first and second seeded players change into Conquest before the end of the bubble match. This way, the steps on stage would not be so complicated and awkward.
The group of them followed behind Winston and entered the changing room backstage. Winston handed them the 'Conquest' that he had kept hidden for a very long time and hadn't released to the public.
"How are the clothes this year?" He looked at the ten-odd players with anticipation. "Are they much better than last year?"
"Why are you giving me RNG's team uniform …" Lin Yan had been chatting with Su Cheng along the way. When he raised his head and took the jacket from Winston, he was stunned for a second.
When he raised his head again, he realized that all the players were like him, holding onto their Conquest uniforms and looking stunned and speechless.
"Did RNG bribe the sponsors?" He turned his head and asked Mi Dehu.
RNG shook his head. "I've never heard of RNG."
"Then what's with this black and gold Conquest uniform?
Wasn't it red or blue in the previous years? "Jack was puzzled as well.
The Conquest uniforms they were holding had a black base, and there were gold inlays near the collar and chest area. There didn't seem to be too many fancy patterns, and they were simpler and more elegant than in the previous years. There was even the logo of their respective clubs printed on the left chest area.
However, this black and gold color wasn't very recognizable, because RNG's main color scheme was the same color. It was no wonder that Lin Yan's first reaction when he took the Conquest uniform was to think that RNG's team uniform was RNG's.
Winston, who had been full of anticipation earlier, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. Clearly, the comments given by the players had dampened his enthusiasm.
Lin Yan came wearing YM's team uniform today, so he only needed to put on the Conquest jacket. A few players who came wearing their private uniforms could only change into their team uniforms in the room in front of ten-odd people.
"WDNMD, Jack, isn't your skin a little too white?"
Spicy Saucepan had a good relationship with Jack. He reached out and pinched the Shiba Inu's stomach, almost getting bitten.
"Brother Ran's is even whiter. Go touch his." Jack blushed, regretting wearing his private uniform to the competition today.
"He has abs, but they don't feel as good as yours." Mongoose took the opportunity to rub the Shiba Inu again. "Your stomach is so soft. It feels like a dog's."
"Scram, scram, scram!"
Jack quickly put on his clothes and zipped up his Conquest jacket to the top. He shrunk his neck and curled his body into a ball.
Winston saw that the players had finished changing and hurriedly reminded them of the things to take note of when they went on stage later, making them remember it well.
Everyone was eager to go on stage and welcome the cheers of the audience.
However, the situation in the competition took a turn for the worse. Ancestor Saiwen finally displayed his unparalleled ability in an internal battle.
He used his unique skill, Excavator, to gain a huge advantage in the early stages of the game. He kept gank to suppress Xi Ye in the middle lane, then radiated his advantage in the middle lane to the wings, leading EDG to play a fast pace and winning the game in only 23 minutes.
The players sitting in the entrance could only wait patiently. They didn't dare to make a sound when they saw the players from EDG and WE passing by with serious expressions.
Factory Director seemed to have been woken up by Abu's mua. In the fourth round, he controlled Wine Barrel to play a strange level 2 grab and continued to train Xi Ye.
Junior took the opportunity to expand his position advantage and successfully suppressed Xi Ye under the tower, unable to move.
Whether it was ranking matches or professional matches, the middle lane and the jungle had always been a team. They were bound together for good or ill.
Xi Ye felt uncomfortable being suppressed, and Kandi also found it difficult to do anything. The whole team's rhythm was muted, and WE could only let EDG trample on them at will in the early stages.
In 21 minutes, the economic gap between the two teams was widened to 10,000.
However, this time, WE's support wasn't Luo, and the mid laner wasn't Clockwork.
"Factory Director decisively dodged and directly blasted 957's Princes into his own team!"
The players from RNG and YM sat neatly on the sofa with their legs crossed. They could hear Zeyuan's excited roar on the stage. "957 can't use his big move at all. He is suppressed to death by Scout Grasshopper!"
"Factory Director decisively opened the team at the crucial moment. EDG took the lead and killed one of WE's generals. It will be difficult for them to defend against EDG's next attack!"
Su Xiaoyan's voice was trembling. Although the commentator's job was to maintain a neutral position, it was really difficult for her to completely calm down in the face of this situation. After all, she had a deep relationship with WE.
"EDG defeated WE's main Crystal in one go. Congratulations … EDG, for dragging the bubble match to the fifth game!" She brushed the strands of hair behind her ear to calm her surging emotions.
"LPL's last ticket to the global finals. They even left the suspense until the last moment!"
Zeyuan stood on the commentary platform and shouted. As long as it didn't involve three-star matches, he could control his emotions. He would praise whichever team performed better.
"EDG may make history by making a second team catch up with a third team. They are now in full swing and are only one step away from the S7 global finals!"
WE's fans had experienced a lot of ups and downs this afternoon. They originally thought that they would be able to witness the home team enter the international competition again after five years. However, after two games, their hearts sank again.
After losing two games in a row and being forced into a desperate situation, WE's players were facing immense psychological pressure.
The encouragement from the fans in the stands and the military order from the management before the game had now turned into pressure on their shoulders.
The atmosphere in the team lounge was so heavy that even the players from RNG and YM who were sitting in the entrance tunnel were no longer laughing and joking around.
The next game would determine the fate of the two teams. A season's worth of hard work would either bear fruit or be wasted. It all depended on the last game.
"Who do you guys think will win?" Mi Dehu suddenly asked.
"Let's go to EDG …" Lin Ran mumbled, and several players beside him agreed.
As professional players, they could naturally understand the situation that WE and EDG were facing at this time.
WE was only one step away from being the third seed, and they might not be able to do so until the end. On the other hand, EDG's morale was on the rise. They had won two matches in a row, and their fighting spirit was unprecedentedly high. Naturally, they had the upper hand in the match.
The door of the team lounge was suddenly pushed open from the inside. 957's usually elegant and easy-going face was covered with a layer of haze. The players behind him did not look worried as they walked out one by one with paper cups in their hands.
Red Mi, who was wearing a white shirt, walked at the back as usual. He was communicating with his translator, Jun Ri, in Korean.
The two spoke very quickly. It sounded like Jin Gong's Korean rap during his live broadcast.
"The final game of the last day of the 2017 League of Legends Sixth Anniversary Ceremony and S7 Bubble Tournament, WE versus EDG. Let's begin!" Ze Yuan on the commentary platform was full of energy.
The dozen players sitting on the sofa silently looked at the big screen in the distance.
In this game, Red Mi changed his strategy. He did not let Xi Ye choose support heroes like Rock Sparrow and Galio. Instead, he brought out Kassadin.
This was Xi Ye's unique hero. Smashing Bear Annie, who was originally famous in the LSPL, could not be used in the top league due to the low strength of the heroes. Kassadin and Little Temptress became his new symbols.
In this game, Red Mi gave his team's mid laner full trust and let WE build a system around Kassadin.
His opponent, Scout, once again brought out the confident Sindera.
In the early and middle stages of the game, due to Kassadin's weakness, WE was forced to give up the fight for the Dragon and Canyon Vanguard. They even lost a blood tower in the bottom lane.
The economic gap was instantly widened to 5K by EDG. At this time, the game was only 16 minutes old.
With such an economic gap, WE could not even drag on until Kassadin was level 16.
The spectators who supported WE in the stands were on the verge of tears. It looked like they would really cry if WE lost the game.
"The situation is very unfavorable for WE. EDG is not in a hurry to destroy WE's high ground. They don't want Xi Ye to easily take down the minions with super soldiers. This way, they can limit Kassadin's development as much as possible …" Ze Yuan's tone was very calm.
"If Kassadin's level can't increase quickly, then WE's lineup is not strong. They may have to let Baron Nash respawn in 20 minutes."
"But if they let go of the Dragon, WE'll have to face too much pressure from the minions. If they don't handle it well, their jungle will completely fall," Su Xiaoyan said.
"EDG rushed to the Dragon Pit when Baron respawned. They want to kill this Dragon as quickly as possible and continue to expand their advantage …"
"All three lanes of WE are dealing with the minions," Ze Yuan suddenly raised his voice, his eyes fixed on the screen. "But Kandi seems to be risking his life to punish them!"
Kandi's Excavator passed through his own jungle that was full of EDG's vision, exposing his movement path completely to the enemy's vision.
When he came close to the Dragon Pit, he activated Scan to block EDG's vision. As a result, EDG could only roughly determine the Excavator's position. Without accurate information, Scout did not dare to cast Weakling Disperse.
"True Eye inserted into the Dragon Pit to see the Dragon's health. Kandi's Q [Prey Hunt] hit Factory Director's Piggy Sister and used [Void Rush] to drill down!"
It was the first time Lin Yan heard the sound effects of Rexey's modified ultimate from a spectator's point of view. Under the stereoscopic surround sound effect, the screams of the Burrower Queen were chilling to the soul!
Rexey drilled out of the ground, his claws and fangs tearing the Polo Pig's skin.
No one cared about the damage caused by the Excavator's ultimate. Everyone's attention was on the low-health Dragon!
At this moment, the hearts of the spectators watching the live broadcast skipped a beat.
The key game, the key ancient resources, would determine the direction of this bubble match!
"EDG, everyone, stop attacking. Change the target, we need to kill Kandi first!"
The moment Kandi came down, the EDG team changed the target under the command of Factory Director. If it was last year, they would not have been able to do it. After all, Mr. Dai did not understand Chinese at that time, and his communication was obviously not as smooth as when he was on iboy.
The Dragon's health stopped at 1107, and the Level 10 Excavator's punishment damage was only 640 points.
At the moment when the EDG team stopped attacking, if Kandi wanted to eat this Dragon, he would have to deal 467 points of damage.
Kandi tried his best to bite Baron Nash with his sharp teeth, and used QE simultaneously to reduce the health of the Dragon.
However, just as he was about to attack, Factory Director's Piggy Girl threw out an R [Arctic Hell] and froze him!
As everyone knew, Piggy Girl's Arctic Hell would only cause damage to champions, and only her second R [Ice Storm] would damage wild monsters (see the Easter egg chapter for the video).
The second Ice Storm would take a full two seconds to trigger, and Kandi would not be able to survive for that long under the focus fire of five people!
At this time, Sindra attacked again, and the Shadow Ball continued to crowd-control the weak players!
"EDG's control chain is sufficient, they want …" Ze Yuan was speaking very quickly, but everything that happened in the pit of the Dragon happened in the blink of an eye, and he did not have time to say more.
In the sky above the Summoner's Canyon, two lightning bolts fell one after another, and struck Baron Nash!
The Dragon's health was instantly depleted!
"Who is the Dragon?" Ze Yuan shouted subconsciously.
The Kill Notification Bar on the right side of God's View had already told him the answer.
The red Void Beast had killed Baron Nash!
"Kandi, the Son of the Dragon, Kandi has stood up again!"
Su Xiaoyan was excited, and her face was flushed. She immediately raised her voice, "He snatched the Dragon from Factory Director's hands!"
Wukesong Stadium was in an uproar!
The cheers of WE fans resounded throughout the stadium, and they desperately waved the support sticks in their hands to make noise!
The bullet screen of the live broadcast room was flooded with 666 comments. At this critical moment, Kandi, who had been silent for the entire summer tournament, had saved WE's life!
"What the f * ck, he can even snatch that?"
The spicy Saucepan spat. At this moment, he recalled the semi-finals of last year's Spring Tournament, when Kandi had snatched three of his Dragons in a row.
"That's a little evil," Xiao Tian murmured.
"Let's watch the replay again …" Ze Yuan's eyes were locked on the big screen, and he did not miss a single detail. The caster sped up the broadcast by 0.5 times, and everything that happened in the pit of the Dragon was shown to the audience in slow motion.
When Kandi's Excavator was frozen in place by the Pig Girl's ultimate, the Dragon had 999 health points left.
The next moment, junior Sindra's QE combo stunned Kandi, and the other EDG players' skills rained down on the Void Beast!
"Sindra stunned Kandi, but his Weakling's Retreat reduced the Dragon's health points, and gave Kandi a chance to use Punishment!"
The replay was slowed down, and everyone saw it clearly. The Dragon's health points were reduced to 777 by Sindra's two skills.
The next moment, two Retribution Thunders fell. Obviously, Guijiao Seven had also noticed the sudden decrease in the Dragon's health points.
It was an emergency, and it would be too late if the jungler looked at the Dragon's health points before using Punishment. Although Kandi was stunned in place, it was inevitable that some of the AoE skills would affect the Dragon under the focus fire of five people.
If he was a little slower, the Dragon would have been snatched away.
Ancestor Sai Wen could only rely on his subconscious reaction to press Punishment.
However, Kandi's Punishment was a moment too late. When the Factory Director's Punishment reduced the Dragon's health points to a little more than 100, the Excavator's Heavenly Thunder finally fell!
"He's too calm. It's hard to tell if it's talent or luck," Ze Yuan said with a sigh of relief. "But no matter what, after this Dragon was snatched away by WE, they can drag it out for a long time!"
This dragged on until Kassadin reached level 14, which was two levels away from the explosion of the base …
When EDG saw that Kassadin's experience points were close to level 16, they finally became anxious.
They wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, but haste makes waste, and there was no way to help them win the game.
Instead, the calm WE team dragged the pace of the battle. After dealing enough damage, Brother-in-law's Big Mouth did not hesitate to move to the front to receive the kills. He used the explosion damage to create an environment for Xi Ye to harvest.
Xi Ye lived up to everyone's expectations and took the opportunity to steal two kills in the team battle.
"EDG managed to win this team battle by trading two for three. However, they can only push all the way to the high ground and can't get any other resources!"
"WE is still dragging it out. They are very resilient!"
The live screen switched to WE's camera. From the mild-mannered 957 to the bad-tempered Kandi, the decisive Xi Ye, the cold and indifferent Mystic, and the seemingly introverted Ben, everyone was actively coordinating and communicating with their teammates.
The defensive line that had just been broken by EDG was arranged in an orderly manner, just like what Red Rice had taught them in countless mock competitions.
The high ground in the middle lane had been broken, but WE's seemingly loose defensive formation blocked EDG's attacks again and again!
This continued until the instant one of the Incisor Towers collapsed, Seer's experience from eating a Super Soldier rose to Level 16.
At this moment, 957 controlled Princes to use EQ and Blink to pick up the little junior. Then, he mercilessly used his ultimate to cover the three generals of EDG!
"Xi Ye entered the field with R Blink. Kassadin with three stacks of [Void Walk] dealt explosive damage. Sindra was killed instantly!" Ze Yuan shouted at the top of his lungs as he supported himself with both hands on the commentary table.
Scout did not use his Blink until he died. He was instantly killed by Xi Ye without any way to remove the purification effect!
"Kassadin activated [Hourglass] in the midst of EDG's crowd and dodged Factory Director's fatal control." Su Xiaoyan was so excited that her voice cracked. "WE's blowing the horn for a counterattack!"
Kandi entered the field through a tunnel and knocked away the front row to create an environment for her teammates to attack. After absorbing a lot of damage, she activated her ultimate skill [Void Dash] and escaped underground to avoid being killed instantly. Ben's Lulu put an incense burner effect on Brother-in-law's Big Mouth.
The April Fool's Skin Shar Pei barked loudly. Amidst the continuous barking, biochemical bullets poured onto the bodies of EDG's players!
"Xi Ye used another ultimate skill to kick out iboy Xia's R [Storm Feather Blade]!"
Iboy's reaction was fast enough. He even activated his ultimate skill the moment Kassadin used it to avoid being stepped on by Kassadin who had a full stack of R. However, it was useless.
Just like in the last match of the semi-finals against YM, he dodged the combined attack of Clockwork and Luo. What happened next?
"iboy survived, but EDG's formation was messed up due to the lack of damage output!"
Amidst Ze Yuan's shouting, Ah Guang's Big Tree fell to the ground and died. Meiko's HP was reduced by half after being stepped on by Xi Ye. Brother-in-law's Yang Dao's two stacked normal attacks cleared his HP bar!
In a team battle, WE managed to trade one for four, leaving only Factory Director alive!
"The tables have turned, WE is going to make a comeback!" Su Xiaoyan couldn't hold back the joy in her heart. Her voice was trembling.
The two seeded teams sitting in the entrance tunnel stood up and prepared to go on stage. In their eyes, this match had already lost its suspense.
Unless WE was stupid, Kassadin who was already at level 16 would be Meiko's nightmare.
At the 35 minute mark, Xi Ye single-handedly continued to stack his ultimate skill in advance. He hid in the bushes and crouched in front of Factory Director and Meiko. With a series of skills, he killed Soft Assist. WE then led the mid lane creeps into EDG's high ground to end the match in one go!
"EDG is risking their lives to defend their base, but WE won't let them!"
957 [Strength of a Thousand Men] controlled Prince's physical body to attack again. With the Gargoyle Stone Plate Armor, he was extremely tanky, creating an excellent environment for Kassadin and Big Mouth to attack from the back row!
Seer was controlling the Star Reaper Demonic Blade, Kassadin, to slaughter everyone in the canyon. In less than two seconds, he unleashed an ultimate skill, forcefully crushing EDG's hopes of resisting and pushing forward!
In the end, when Factory Director was killed and Xi Ye obtained a quadruple kill, they didn't delay any longer and destroyed EDG's base in one go!
The moment the Crystal of EDG's base shattered, Wukesong Stadium had become WE's home ground. Countless fans were shouting loudly to vent their surging emotions!
The five WE members hugged each other and cried. Xi Ye's eyes were filled with tears, but he had a relieved smile on his face.
"3: 2, WE has successfully defeated EDG and won the bubble match." Zeyuan took the opportunity to pinch his throat to relieve the pressure. "They have also successfully obtained the last ticket to the World Finals!"
On the other hand, Su Xiaoyan was much more excited. She had already prepared the data. "After 1792 days, Team WE returns to the World Finals!"
The fans below the stage screamed. The last time the ancient powerhouse WE entered the World Finals was five years ago in S2!
"Today is also the 1,107th day of the BiYe combo fighting side by side." Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was trembling. "Coincidentally, it's the service time of Strawberry and … Smile in the WE 1.0 era."
[Is this God's will?]
[Oh my god, 60E has made a comeback. Tonight is the pig slaughtering event!]
[Factory Director lost just like that?
I can't accept this!]
[What happened to the Civil War?
I'll refund your money!]
The host, Zhu Zhen, quickly walked onto the stage. "Next up is the S7 expedition ceremony. Team WE, please come down from the stage and make some adjustments …"
After five rounds of matches, it was already 9: 30 pm.
Due to the policy, evening gatherings were not allowed. Teng Jing had to end the event as soon as possible and organize the audience to leave.
At this time, Zhu Zhen did not care about EDG who had not finished packing up their peripherals. He immediately raised his voice.
"Let us welcome the three teams that will represent the LPL in the World Finals of S7. Friends in the audience, shout out their names!"
Although many noobs had left the stage, the stands around Wukesong Stadium were still very lively. The audience shouted out the names of the teams they supported.
"They are the first seed, YM, the second seed, RNG, and the third seed, WE!"
Zhu Zhen dragged out his words and waved his arm towards the entrance.
The three teams went onto the stage in order.
At this time, the EDG players had just finished packing up their peripherals and were ready to leave.
In a dark corner where the stage spotlights did not shine, Promise quietly watched the young people running onto the stage.
Each of them was in high spirits and had bright smiles on their faces.
That smile was very similar to the smile he had when he was forced to share three bowls of instant noodles with his old teammates in a simple base due to lack of money.
Probably because he had a dream in his heart, his expression became pure.
He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and followed behind Meiko as they left the stage without looking back.
"Shining spears and armored horses, swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger …" The deep voice was amplified and lingered in every corner of Wukesong Stadium.
Lin Yan did not expect that after getting rid of 'Conquest', there would be an even more awkward operation waiting for them.
After the two-minute long live recitation session, Zhu Zhen raised the microphone in his hand again.
"At this moment, no matter which LPL team you are a fan of, please let go of the prejudice in your heart and cheer for our team!" He looked around the arena. "Because at this moment, we are all part of the LPL!"
"I wish the three teams to achieve impressive results in the World Finals. I wish the Summoner Trophy to remain in the LPL and defend the glory of the division!"
The host's voice resounded throughout Wukesong Stadium. The audience's cheers went straight to the sky!
The streamers flying in the air on the stage fell on the heads of the players of the three teams. Lin Yan reached out and brushed them away. His eyes were full of determination and fighting spirit.
"Summoners, we will meet in Wuhan in a month's time in the S7 group stage!"
