Chapter 543 My regular season MVP trophy was made of plastic back then!
The weight of the regular season MVP trophy clearly exceeded Knight's expectations, almost causing a major misunderstanding.

Fortunately, Knight reacted quickly and managed to grab the trophy.

The trophy isn't actually that big, but it's made entirely of metal, so it does have some weight to it.

Ultimately, it comes down to Knight being too thin.

Ms. H, the award presenter, handled the trophy with remarkable ease, demonstrating that it was actually quite lightweight.

At this moment, in the TES lounge backstage at the venue.

When Knight nearly dropped the trophy, gasps of surprise erupted in the lounge.

Since they're all family, everyone was genuinely worried that Knight might drop the trophy, which would be a huge disaster.

After exclaiming in surprise, Xx teased Zhou Dian.

"Brother Zhou, why didn't you tell Knight beforehand that this trophy is heavy, so he could be prepared when he receives it?" Xx said, winking.

"This is a bit bad, Zhou Shen!" Guo Hao, who was traveling with the team, also joked.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dian shrugged, spread his hands, and said, "I don't think so. My regular season MVP trophy back then was made of plastic and was very light. Damn Teng Jing!"

After a few more casual words, Knight returned to the TES rest area with the regular season MVP trophy in his arms.

Following the applause led by Zhou Dian, Knight received a round of applause from everyone in the lounge as soon as he walked in, without anyone needing to take the lead.

This made Knight a little embarrassed, and he walked with his head down to his chair and sat down.

Xx, standing next to Knight, snatched the regular season MVP trophy from Knight's arms.

"Hey, left hand, this trophy is so heavy! Let me help you carry it for a bit, don't tire your hand out, it'll affect your performance in the competition!" Xx said cheekily.

The regular season MVP trophy hadn't even warmed Xx's hands before someone else snatched it away.

Later on, the trophy passed through the hands of almost everyone in the TES lounge.

Everyone got to experience the thrill of winning an award.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around, it's time to get ready to go on stage for the competition!" White Crescent smiled as she stopped everyone's playful antics.

"Okay, thank you, host Xixi, and thank you, Knight. Congratulations again on winning this very valuable regular season MVP. I also hope that Top Esports and RNG can both perform well today!"

As the host and Knight stepped off the stage, the camera in the LPL official live stream switched to the commentary section.

"Let me say hello to everyone first!" Wang Duoduo continued, turning to gesture to Rita beside him.

"Hello everyone, I'm Rita!"

"Hello everyone, this is Duoduo! Today, the two of us will be at JDG's esports center in Beijing to bring you the commentary!"

As soon as Rita appeared on screen, the veteran commenters immediately launched a second wave of attacks.

"Before the competition begins, there are a few things I'd like to report to everyone."

Then, Wang Duoduo read out a string of sponsor advertisements.

Even though Wang Duoduo was speaking at full speed, it still took him a full two minutes to finish reading all the advertisements.

Immediately, the two commentators began to chat.

Basically, it's about providing viewers with information about the two teams, the playoff situation, and the current S-series standings of LPL teams.

While the two were chatting in the commentary booth, the players and coaches of TES and RNG had already stood on both sides of the player tunnel, waiting for the instruction to go on stage.

"Is the regular season MVP trophy heavy?" Zhou Dian turned to Knight and asked.

Upon hearing this, Knight hesitated for a moment and said, "Um, it's actually a bit heavy!"

“Then go back and practice hard after today’s match. The Silver Dragon Cup and the Summoner’s Trophy are much heavier than this!” Zhou Dian said immediately.

But in reality, Zhou Dian's suggestive and somewhat encouraging words were a bit of a waste of breath.

At this moment, Knight was thinking, "Winning the regular season MVP this season would feel pretty successful!"

"Both teams are ready and eager to get started. Let's switch the camera to the scene right away!"

With Wang Duoduo's words, the live broadcast switched from the commentary booth to the audience seats at the competition venue.

At this moment, all the lights in the entire audience area went out.

Then, a beam of light shone into the aisle of the audience seats.

Under the light, sat a fiery cloud evil god.

A fat guy cosplayed the Fire Cloud Evil God from the movie "Kung Fu Hustle," specifically the classic scene in the mental hospital.

To be fair, the design is quite realistic.

Then, this "Fire Cloud Evil God" sat on a small stool and began to perform a stand-up comedy routine.

To be honest, it was a bit awkward!
Viewers in the live stream expressed that they couldn't stand the cringe-worthy drama.

The two comments that appeared in the live stream were: "[Is this just awkward?]" and "[???]"

This Fire Cloud Evil God was actually cosplayed by the male host of JDG's home games.

At this point, he should have been wearing a suit, standing on the main stage, introducing the players from both sides.

But he chose to give the audience a really tough act.

All I can say is that life is tough, so I have to resort to performing for money.

These days, no matter what industry you're in, you can't survive without being ruthless!

After a short stand-up comedy routine, "Fire Cloud Evil God" gradually steered the conversation toward the TES vs. RNG match.

"But I noticed in today's newspaper that there's a high-level match taking place at the JDG Legion eSports Center?" "That caught my attention. Let's see what they have to say!"

As he spoke, "Fire Cloud Evil God" flipped open the tattered newspaper in his hand and read aloud from it: "Oh, a young army led by geniuses, gradually maturing, their youth and fearlessness have also reached the time to blossom and bear fruit!"

"Oh, this is Top Esports!"

The next moment, the live broadcast camera switched to the main stage.

Zhou Dian was the first to walk out of the player tunnel, followed by his teammates and head coach.

"Top laner Zhou, jungler Xiongxiong, mid laner Knight, bot laner LokeN, support Ben, and coach White Crescent!!!"

The Fire Cloud Evil God is announcing the program!

After speaking, the TES players went to their respective seats in the player's area.

The live stream camera then returned to "Fire Cloud Evil God".

"And this is what they said on the other side!"

"With new reinforcements, the golden team has been completely revitalized. They will defend their glory and honor with victory! Oh, this is RNG!"

At this moment, all six players on the TES player bench couldn't hold back anymore.

I got goosebumps from being so embarrassed.

After the RNG players took their seats on the bench, this rather creatively awkward drama finally came to an end.

"Of all martial arts techniques in the world, none are invincible except for speed!"

"Between the two of them, who is stronger? Who is faster? Wuhu, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"After they finish their match, we'll be able to face each other at the World Championship!"

Then came a rather manic laugh, finally capturing some of the essence of the Fire Cloud Evil God cosplay.

And then, the awkward drama ended!

The audience suddenly felt a void in their hearts, and the comments section was filled with requests for more scenes for "Fire Cloud Evil God".

All I can say is that awkwardness is definitely addictive!
"Wow, this is truly a highly anticipated battle, a battle of the century! We've even brought in the 'Evil God' for this match!"

"Yes, this hairstyle, this tank top, these rubber shoes, I believe everyone is very, very familiar with them!"

As Miller's voice rang out, the live broadcast camera focused on the commentary booth.

The two long-time commentators will provide commentary for this match.

However, this also basically means that the two of them will probably not be providing commentary for the final match a week later.

It really is time for him to step down.

"The Evil God just mentioned the World Championship!" Miller said. "Teacher Duoduo also mentioned to everyone that the winner of this match will get the second ticket for LPL to participate in the S9 World Championship!"

"Therefore, this match is not just an LPL playoff semi-final, it can even be regarded as a gauntlet match!"

"Of course, unlike the gauntlet where losing means elimination, even if we lose this match, we still have a chance to compete for the LPL's third seed!"

After a few minutes of casual conversation, both teams had completed their final pre-match preparations.

The director's instructions came through the commentator's headset.

"Alright, both sides are ready. Let's take a look at the draft picks for the first game of the Summer Split semifinals between TES and RNG!"

The camera then pans to the two head coaches, with White Crescent and Steak appearing on the big screen.

Next, the BP interface appeared.

RNG is on the blue side, and TES is on the red side.

"Wow, TES got to choose the red side in the first game! White Crescent, aren't you being a bit too ruthless?!" Wawa exclaimed.

"To be fair, the win rates of the red and blue teams have been roughly the same since the start of the summer season, and there are quite a few teams that will actively choose the red side now!" Miller added.

"But," Miller suddenly changed the subject, "TES' top laner is Zhou Shen, and Zhou Shen is on the red side, those who know, know!"

"We all know what White Crescent is trying to do by choosing the red side!"

As they spoke, both commentators chuckled.

Indeed, the white crescent moon's move is somewhat like a veiled threat.

Everyone could see that he wanted to give RNG a hard time right from the start of the first game, to give them a real shock.

Everyone knows that Zhou Dian always goes all out when playing against RNG.

Aside from the slight personal grudge involved,

Also, because in the RNG team, the top lane has no tactical importance.

Actually, it's not just RNG; Zhou Dian hits very hard against any team whose top laner has no tactical role.

Since you don't care about your own top laner, you're just offering yourself up for me to beat.

Wouldn't it be disrespectful of you if I didn't give you a good beating?

However, for most of the other teams, there is room for adjustment in the tactical role of their top laners.

This situation does not exist for RNG.

White Crescent can see very clearly that he's playing his cards right from the start, aiming to launch a heavy attack on your top laner Langx. Langx can only take the hits.

why?
Because you are RNG's top laner!
