LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 339 Jakarta Asian Games! Off to the Front Lines!
Seeing that Wang Yao spoke fluently, logically, and answered in a well-structured manner, the reporter couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

He has interviewed many e-sports players, but those with Wang Yao's eloquence are extremely rare.

When other esports players are interviewed, they often say things like "It's alright," or "It's just so-so," and then they thank their fans and so on.

If you pay close attention to post-match interviews in professional leagues, you can summarize the patterns in how these esports players are interviewed.

It's no wonder that many fans can't bear to skip Wang Yao's post-match interviews. Firstly, he really can keep winning, and secondly, Wang Yao always manages to come up with something new in his post-match interviews.

"League of Legends is arguably the most watched esports event at the Asian Games, and its biggest competitor is the South Korean team."

"When the South Korean team was interviewed, they expressed their determination to win the championship and even assembled a very strong team for it. What are your thoughts on this?"

Wang Yao pondered for a moment.

This is a difficult question to answer.

Wang Yao himself was unsure of the outcome. The current state of the CN team's cohesion was only so-so, and it was still unknown whether they could beat the Korean team.

But he couldn't lose face even during the interview; he said with a smile:

"We must acknowledge the objective fact that in League of Legends, the Korean team does have a significant advantage, as evidenced by the number of world championship titles they have won."

"But the competition is about the performance of both sides on the day, their understanding of the game version, and the team's overall cohesion. I have full confidence in my teammates who are fighting alongside me."

"In my mind, they are the strongest players, so the first gold medal for esports in the Asian Games will definitely belong to us!"

The reporter was quite satisfied with Wang Yao's answer and immediately smiled.

"Then I wish you all the best in winning this gold medal on the field!"

After the interview, Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

This interview will be broadcast on CCTV, after all, it's official media, so Wang Yao is being extremely careful.

Even when sitting, you have to keep your back straight and try to control what you say, which takes a lot of energy.

After the interview, Wang Yao returned to the training room to train with his teammates.

However, this joint training session ended quickly, and LPL couldn't really let them train together here for more than a month.

The only thing we can do is try to manipulate the schedule to give the players from these teams more time.

After returning to the team's base, Wang Yao immediately began practicing with his EDG teammates.

With Zuo Shou joining Top Esports during the summer transfer window, Wang Yao currently has no substitute, so he has to grit his teeth and play on his own!
Even Zhu Kai exclaimed, "It's fortunate that Wang Yao is young enough. A young person's body can withstand this kind of exertion. Otherwise, I don't even want to think about running around like this."

The good news is that...

In the Western Conference where EDG is located, apart from IG, all the other teams are weak. EDG doesn't have much trouble winning the games, and their record in the LPL league is still going strong.

On the RNG side, in order to allow Uzi to perform well, they directly announced that he had a 'hand injury' and temporarily replaced him with Able, who was called up from the second team. Even Guo was temporarily replaced by the unfortunate player who was temporarily added from the second team.

With his skinny arms and legs, the nickname "Esports Hawking" is no joke.

Tencent Sports kept sending messages to the club, urging them to ensure that the athletes had a reasonable schedule for the Asian Games and to prevent any unexpected problems as the Games approached.

The competition proceeded smoothly, and with the Asian Games drawing ever closer, EDG was finally able to enjoy a short break after enduring a grueling schedule.

"Tsk tsk, I'm really envious. Yao-ge is a big star. He's at all kinds of big events. When will I get that kind of treatment?" Lin Weixiang, sitting on the bench, sighed as he watched Wang Yao's busy figure.

"Envious of me?" Wang Yao rolled his eyes. "I'd rather not be that famous than suffer like this."

So "Fortress Besieged" is truly accurate.

Wang Yao's teammates envied his busy life of fame and fortune, but Wang Yao envied his teammates' leisure time.

Actually, this time they didn't fly directly to Jakarta, but instead had a few days of second training in Shenzhen first, allowing them to get back into sync again.

Abu was fairly satisfied with the results of this training camp; at least there was no situation like last time where they started arguing and giving up on the first day.

However, the integration process is still somewhat lacking.

This is no way.

After all, they come from different teams and have never practiced together before, so it's impossible to develop a complete understanding in just a few days.

As August 20th arrived, the CN League of Legends team set off with athletes from other traditional sports, and after several hours of flight, they landed in Jakarta.

On the bus to the hotel, Abu kept reminding us, "It's hot here all day long. If you turn on the air conditioning at night, do it moderately. Don't make the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors too big, or you'll easily catch a cold."

At the same time, he repeatedly reminded everyone.

"Fans may come to pick you up at the airport. You are not allowed to accept any food or other items that fans bring. Don't be afraid of disappointing your fans. After all, this is the rule. We have to be strict just in case."

This is a point that athletes from traditional sports were recently instilled with during their Asian Games training, and it is something they must strictly control.

The biggest difference between Riot Games' tournaments and the Asian Games is the urine test.

Who knows what kind of technology and ruthless processes manufacturers are adding to food these days? Anyway, there are past examples to learn from.

Many people in traditional sports have lost their gold medals due to carelessness, such as eating snacks before a competition, because they failed a drug test, thus causing lifelong regret.

This is also true.

In order to pass the urine test smoothly, the official staff repeatedly emphasized and explicitly prohibited that they could only eat the meals provided by the government and were not allowed to order takeout during their rest time.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to esports players who are used to eating late-night snacks.

Fortunately, the competition only lasts a few days, so we can just bear with it and it will pass.

In the airport terminal, Wang Yao and his teammates were all wearing matching team uniforms, mainly white with a national flag printed on their chests. Compared to their own team uniforms, these uniforms had far fewer advertisements and looked much cleaner.

“Come on, since this is our first time, let’s take a picture to commemorate the next year!” Abu immediately suggested.

The crowd quickly formed a neat line. Wang Yao tidied his appearance, smoothed out the wrinkles, straightened his collar, stood in the center of the line, gave a thumbs-up, and flashed a hearty smile.

The scene was captured on camera by the accompanying reporters!

When I walked out of the airport, a lot of fans came to greet me, after all, there are quite a few 'second-generation' e-sports fans.

They're not short of money; traveling abroad and catching a game is double the fun for them.
