I'm the chef in T1. The fatter Li Ge is, the stronger I am.

Chapter 142 MSI! No one knew about my first visit, but everyone knows about my second visit!

Ao Feng is very generous.

of course.

A large part of the reason for this is Wang Yu’s live broadcast effect.

Every time you start live broadcast.

Wang Yu always puts the commemorative championship trophy that Riot Games gave him last year on the gaming chair.

The camera in the live broadcast room is always locked on this chair.

Even after finishing a Rank game, Wang Yu would say, "This is the Aofeng gaming chair! It's so easy to win games sitting on it!"

Over time.

The audience has firmly remembered the brand [Aofeng Gaming Chair].

Although there is no sign of any increase in sales for the time being.

but.
This kind of publicity effect will not be effective in a short time, but Aofeng's real goal is to make all the players who pay attention to e-sports, whenever they see the chair/seat change, the line "If you want to win, sit in Aofeng!" will unconsciously appear in their minds!

And it seems at the moment.

Wang Yu’s publicity efforts were huge, and Aofeng’s goal has been achieved by 80%!

After learning that the TOP1 team got a ticket to the international event MSI.

Ao Feng waved his hand and directly covered the round-trip airfare and daily expenses. He also promised that no matter what place the team ranked in this MSI, he would not take a penny of the prize money and give it all to the coaches and players.

With an absolute belief in winning, everyone rested in the country for only a few days before boarding a plane to the venue of this year's MSI.

The plane lands.

No acquaintances.

Wang Yu and his team could only stay in the hotel prepared for each team in the Brazilian competition area.

The environment is not that good.

But since it was provided for free, no one complained.

After all, everyone knows the situation abroad.

At least staying in the hotel provided by the Brazilian competition area can save a lot of trouble.

Everyone put their luggage away and prepared to see if there were any local delicacies nearby that they could try.

As a result, I just left the hotel.

I met a group of familiar people at the door!
"Oh! Idol!"

Peanut's eyes lit up, and he didn't even care about the luggage in his hands. He hurried over to greet Wang Yu.

Smeb on the side shook his head helplessly and could only take the luggage for Peanut.

"Wanghu! Long time no see, you seem to have grown taller?" Wang Yu was like a big brother who was working away from home and saw his little brother, chatting enthusiastically: "How was your sleep on the plane?"

"Ayiko~ Idol, you don't know! We finally fell asleep, but we had to change planes not long after we slept." Peanut touched his butt and complained, "I should have given up the Spring Championship earlier. What's the difference between coming here to play and serving in the military?"

Peanut was a little overwhelmed when he thought about having to suffer again before returning home after the game.

"Wouldn't it be better to buy business class?"

Wang Yu was puzzled.

Although they also need to transfer when departing from Shanghai.

But I bought a business class ticket, which has a lot of space. I can lie down and sleep after sitting for a long time. If I don’t want to chat with my teammates, I can watch a movie to pass the time.

"Where is the money?" Smeb, who came over, complained: "Our contracts are almost the same as last year, and the club won't reimburse us for the upgrade expenses."

Only the world champion of the LCK region is eligible.

runner up?

Sorry.

There are so many runner-up teams in LCK that it’s impossible to count them all.

Having sponsors willing to pay is one thing, but whether they are willing to offer better contracts to the players is another.

the other side.

Nofe also started chatting with kkoma.

"Ah Xi~ I didn't expect you to go to the LPL region!" Nofe was extremely jealous: "EDG team approached me at the beginning of the year, but unfortunately I didn't agree. These guys didn't leave, so I couldn't bear to leave either."

"The fact that you can chat with me now means that you made the right choice." Kkoma is good at giving inspirational speeches to his teammates, but not good at guiding and comforting his colleagues.

Everyone stood at the door of the hotel and had a friendly chat for a few minutes, and then discussed going to eat Brazilian barbecue together.

Just sent away all the players of ROX team.

Turn around and look.

Another team is coming.

It’s the G2 team with superb live-action skills!

The last time I played offline in the World Championship.

The players of the G2 team mostly interacted with well-known players such as Faker and Bang, and hardly paid any attention to Wang Yu.

And now.

See you offline again.

PerkZ, who was enthusiastic and outgoing, greeted Wang Yu decisively: "Oh! My God! It's Emolove himself? You are more handsome than last year!"

While talking.

PerkZ took out his cell phone and insisted on taking a photo with Wang Yu. He had to take advantage of the popularity of this world champion jungler.

Actually.

In the European and American regions.

PerkZ is quite well-known, and the G2 team basically involves the players in all their activities, which means that every G2 player has a lot of fans.

Talk about riding on the popularity.

It should also be Wang Yu, the 'newbie' who forgot about operating overseas accounts after returning to the LPL region.

"Yeah~fuck!bro!"

Wang Yu’s English level was not ideal. He could only understand PerkZ calling out his ID, but he had no idea what was said after that.

But I stayed in the United States for a month.

He is also very skilled in how to greet these foreigners.

"Ha ha!"

PerkZ became even more excited upon seeing this, and even called over the team's jungler Trick, asking him to kneel down and worship Wang Yu, in an attempt to get Wang Yu, who is called the "God of Jungle" by foreign players, to give him "divine power".

And Trick actually did what he was told, kneeling in front of Wang Yu and shouting, "Emolove! Please grant me the power of jungle! Let G2 get a good result in this MSI tournament!"

Such an abstract scene.

imp and others were stunned.

"Gee! Do all foreigners dare to play like this?" Su Hanwei couldn't help but complain.

"Can you understand what they are saying?" Shi Senming was curious.

To Shi Senming, the conversation between Wang Yu and the two G2 members sounded like an alien language, "giggle gaggle" and "giggle gaggle".

"I don't understand." Su Hanwei crossed his arms over his chest, with a look of surprise on his face: "But this foreigner must really admire Brother Yu, otherwise he wouldn't kneel down."

"."

Imp and Duke, who had a decent command of English, could barely understand the meaning, but I didn't translate it for the two of them, after all, the meaning was almost the same.

"It's a pity that SKT couldn't come, otherwise we could have seen your duel with Faker."

PerkZ's tone sounded somewhat regretful.

In their view.

SKT did not make any explanation, and the latest update on Wang Yu’s personal account still remains on the day of winning the championship.

In the case of a player leaving the team right after winning a championship, it must be because the club does not treat the talent properly.

And it is very likely that the contract renewal failed because SKT chose to lower Wang Yu's salary.

If these two teams meet at MSI
Then this game will definitely be very exciting and extremely bloody!
Well known.

Emolove is a very easy-going person, but at the same time he is also a very vengeful person.

But usually.

At least if you communicate with Emolove normally, nothing will happen.

but if.
Just as PerkZ was brainstorming.

Wang Yu clarified, "Hey! Don't talk nonsense, brother. Xianghe and I are still best friends."

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing that Wang Yu did not mention SKT, PerkZ became more convinced that his previous thought was correct.

But if the other person didn't say it directly, he wouldn't point it out directly.

Chatted with PerkZ for a short while.

Members of the Flash Wolves team also rushed to the hotel.

The team's jungler Karsa was one of the few players who would come over and chat with Wang Yu last year when Wang Yu was not yet famous.

So we met again.

Without waiting for Kasa to come to him, Wang Yu took the initiative to go there.

"Hey! Brother Ka is here so early!"

"It's Emo brother!"

Kasa was very surprised that the young player who won the championship last year would take the initiative to greet him.

He had seen too many players who achieved extraordinary results at a young age, but in the blink of an eye they became 'another person' and cut off their former friends at the speed of light.

There are very few players like Wang Yu who can remain true to themselves after winning the championship and not look down on others.

"There's nothing we can do. If we don't come earlier, we'll probably have to wait for another round!"

Kasa replied with a smile.

A team that really wants to achieve good results will definitely buy tickets and leave early, adjust to the time difference, and then quickly enter training.

Thus.

When playing a game, you won’t be eliminated in the first round due to poor performance due to a loss of touch.

"How could you be eliminated in the first round? You Flash Wolves are very strong!" Wang Yu told the truth.

As a provincial team.

FW is also a great team against South Korea. During last year's World Championship, they beat the same group ROX team several times in the group stage. It's a pity that they were just one step away from winning the game every time.

"I thought that without SKT in today's MSI match, we would have a chance to compete for the top four."

"You have no idea how surprised I was when I saw your name on the team's player list!"

Kasa admired sincerely.

As a veteran on the field, he has extremely rich experience.

Karsa has seen too many cases where players changed teams and became third-tier players directly because of tactics, coordination, and personality issues.

Not to mention.
Wang Yu not only changed teams, he even reorganized the team. Except for the top laner Duke, who was his original teammate last year, the mid laner and ADC, the two double Cs, have never played against Wang Yu!

The support player Ming was recruited from the secondary league LSPL, and he is a newbie with no experience in top leagues!
You can directly win the league's spring championship during the running-in period.

Which player or coach with competition experience would not be surprised?
"It doesn't matter, the top four are pretty impressive too!"

"Who wants to be in the top four if they can win the championship?"

Karsa rolled his eyes at Wang Yu, looked at the players who had already walked into the hotel, and said goodbye: "I'm leaving first. There's still some time before the MSI starts. We'll talk later when we have time!"

"it is good."

Wang Yu nodded slightly and watched Kasa walk into the hotel.

The players from G2 and ROX had already put their luggage away, and the whole team ran over excitedly, chattering with each other.

Different from the FW team that was preparing intensively.

The ROX team is very confident in the strength of their players and will not feel unprepared just because of the one-day period.

The G2 team is of pure European and American descent. Even though the game has already started, the amount of training will only be slightly more than usual, not to mention that there is still nearly half a month before the game starts!
This year's MSI event has added a new qualifying stage.

Riot made this change not only to take care of the "experience babies" in other regions, but also to keep the popularity of the game rising.

After all, last year the heavyweight game OW came out and stole a lot of attention.

This year, the popularity of a chicken-eating game called PUBG Battle Royale has skyrocketed.

These two games have completely changed the entire PC gaming world. Internet cafes are no longer the place where everyone is playing League of Legends.

Time flies by.

The MSI qualifying stage is quickly coming to an end.

But the situation is similar to last year.

The Spring Championship teams from the LCS, LCK, and LPL regions directly advanced to the group stage, while TSM, FW, and GAM easily advanced from the qualifying round.

It’s almost the same old lineup.

However, there are teams from other regions participating in the qualifying round.

Audiences from home and abroad also had a Western meal which was not very delicious but very appetizing.

5 month 11 day.

this day.

The MSI group stage has officially begun. But before it starts there is an opening ceremony.

The Brazilian host on the scene introduced the players of each team to the audience on the stage.

The three commentators arranged by the LPL officials were also analyzing the chances of winning the MSI championship with the audience in the live broadcast room.

"It feels like it's stable! Even if SKT comes, they can't beat us TOP1!"

Guan Zeyuan always speaks poisonous words.

Wawa, Miller and Wang Duoduo were so scared that they started talking at once.

"No, no, no! How long have we been in TOP1? It was luck that we won the Spring Finals. ROX has kept the same team. Even though the finals ended 3:0 last year, the audience who watched the game will know how tough ROX is!"

"Speaking of this, I met Emolove yesterday at the event and chatted with him. He felt that it would be very difficult to win the MSI this time, and every team that made it to the play-in stage was very strong."

"In fact, playing directly in the group stage still has a big disadvantage. After all, teams like TMS and FW have played in the play-in stage, so they must be in good shape."

The three of them cooperated perfectly and didn't give Guan Zeyuan any chance to speak.

But the topic will eventually run out.

Miller suddenly had an idea and asked, "Brother Guan, you must have watched the LCK Spring Finals, right? SSG and ROX played a full BO5 and finally lost and won the Spring Finals. What do you think of the strength of the ROX team this year? Do they have a chance to win the MSI championship?"

"."

Guan Zeyuan's face was full of speechlessness and he didn't even want to answer.

Who doesn't know that he is a loyal fan of SSG team's crown player?
This question of Miller is not easy to answer.

If so.

It means that if we openly support ROX, we can win the MSI championship this year.

It would be fine if ROX really won the championship.

Didn’t get it?
Then I'm afraid that this group of peanut fans in China will directly attack Guan Zeyuan.

Fortunately, Guan Zeyuan didn't have to wait for him to figure out how to answer.

The doll next to him suddenly let out a "wow".

The four of them turned their eyes to the field.

Countless beams of light shine on the contestant channel.

There were also uniform shouts at the scene.

"Emolove!"

"Emolove!"

"Emolove!"

An extremely simple flag with the team logo slowly rose into the air.

【LPL——TOP1】!
Not long after.

Wang Yu appeared in the center of the stage.

Foreign fans who worship individual heroism went completely crazy, shouting "Emolove" at the top of their lungs in an attempt to attract Wang Yu's attention.

But there are too many viewers who do this.

The opening ceremony has a time limit.

It was impossible for Wang Yu to interact with them one by one, so he could only wave towards the audience, then quickly ran to stand next to his teammates, waiting for the players from other teams to appear on stage.

soon.

Players from the ROX team also entered the stage, followed by the G2 team, then FW, TMS, and GAM.

All six teams appeared on the stage.

The spotlights in the venue kept flashing back and forth, and finally focused on the MSI championship trophy in the center of the stage, in front of the players of the six teams.

Not long after.

After the host introduced the promotion rules for the group stage.

Everyone dispersed.

The draw was done before the game started.

First day of competition.

The TOP1 team will face last year’s world runner-up team: ROX!

Half an hour later.

The first game is over.

Miller sighed slightly: "Unfortunately, Xiao Ming still has too little experience. But Xiye, the mid laner who almost made it to the world championship last year, brought us many surprises!"

"It doesn't matter. This is a BO3 match. The TOP1 still has a chance to come back from -. I hope they can adjust their mindset. It's such a pity to lose this game. Emolove snatched two small dragons and a big dragon from peanut, but still couldn't turn the tables." Wang Duoduo also sighed.

soon.

The second game begins.

I thought the TOP1 team would suffer a defeat on the first day of the group stage.

But what all the audience didn't expect was that the ending was beyond their expectations!

20-minute quick game!

15-0!

As the TOP1 on the blue side, Wang Yu used Lee Sin to play 8/0/7, a textbook version of jungle video.

From the design of the opening routine to the start of the team fight in the 'mid-term'.

the whole process.

Peanut's princes were chased and beaten, and he didn't get a single neutral resource until the end of the game.

After a while.

Game 3.

TOP1, who switched to the red team, copied ROX's lineup for the second game on the spot.

Less than five minutes into the game.

Looking at Peanut, who was slumped in the chair in an inverted triangle position after being stunned.

The comments were so funny that I burst out laughing.

[Emo has left LCK, but his fatherly love for Peanut remains unchanged! ]

[One point is a father's love, but I can only give you one point, because we will win all the remaining games! Go for the TOP1! ]

[Emolove: I’m just kidding in the first match. You don’t really think you can beat me, do you?]

[This sounds like something Yu Ge would do, hahahaha! ]

[Remember! Winning the championship is just for Brother Yu to prove that he is a professional player, and putting on some shows during the competition is to prove that he is a host! ]

Successfully came back from 1-0 down to get off to a good start.

And they defeated the strongest contender for the MSI championship.

Even though the group stage has just begun.

But the state shown by TOP1 undoubtedly makes LPL viewers feel at ease.

This is different from watching RNG and EDG play games.

as if
As long as Emolove is on the court, the game will always be full of infinite possibilities!

No matter how the MSI event changes.

Unless the LCK teams are banned.

Otherwise, the finals will always be LPL versus LCK.

As for these European and American teams, they can occasionally burst out with tactics that will surprise the audience.

They're like those muscular idiots in the movies.

As long as LPL and LCK use their brains a little, the LCS team will be confused.

So.

The G2 team from the LCS region is not something to be feared by LPL audiences.

It is the runner-up team ROX, which has maintained its original lineup and was able to defeat SKT and SSG to get a ticket to MSI, that is the biggest obstacle for LPL to win the MSI championship trophy.

Five days passed quickly.

During these five days, as soon as LPL viewers opened the content about the MSI event, they could see news like [TOP1 defeated XXX team], [TOP1 started a winning streak], [TOP1 team was the first to advance to the semi-finals]!

5 month 20 day.

The semi-finals officially begin.

ROX vs. G2.

TOP1 vs. FW.

Just by looking at this draw, LPL viewers have already assumed that the final will be between ROX and TOP1, and it will be a championship battle between LCK and LPL.

But accidents always come so suddenly.

The G2 team defeated the old master with a random punch. First, they won two games in a row and were only one step away from shutting out ROX and advancing to the finals.

Faced with the brink of elimination, ROX gradually began to exert its strength and recovered two points in a row.

Game 5.

The G2 jungler took out the Lee Sin that Wang Yu used the most times in this MSI tournament, and used a playing style that was extremely similar to Wang Yu's, which directly confused Peanut.

But nothing.

The ROX team, having learned their lesson last year, learned pure Korean-style operations and dragged the game into the late stage of 40 minutes!

After a few waves of pulling.

G2 fell into complete chaos, with various low-level mistakes occurring frequently, which ultimately ruined the game and resulted in their elimination in the semi-finals.

After the game.

The G2 official blog updated the news immediately.

[What a pity! We almost invited Emolove to take over! ——Picture! 】

The picture shows the team's jungler Trick kneeling down to Wang Yu before the MSI event started.

The first pinned comment below is from FW team’s jungler Karsa.

[FW——karsa: Huh? Can this also be used to summon the gods? Then I really want to try it! ]

[G2——Trick replied to FW——karsa: Are you saying that we will invite Emo God to possess us in the game against Emolove tomorrow? ]

This conversation made many audience members laugh out loud.

The screenshots were even forwarded to the country.

Before the game, many people predicted that TOP1 would defeat FW and advance to the finals.

But after this battle.

The audience realized that even the terrifying LCK region could capsize in the gutter!
FW team's jungler Karsa is a world-class player.

His playing style is very effective against carnivorous offensive junglers like Wang Yu.

Nickname: Radar Jungle!

The counter-camp success rate data ranks first among jungle players in the entire league!

Almost all of FW's victory was due to Karsa's ability to drive the entire team's rhythm on his own.

[Team engine] is the most appropriate way to describe Karsa.

It can be said.

As long as Karsa is defeated, FW cannot win the game.

Knowing this, kkoma began to formulate tactics overnight.

soon.

Time comes the next day.

Before the game starts.

The audience is still a little worried about the outcome of this BO5.

But when the game started.

These worries were blown away in an instant!

Karsa, who was called the "Radar Jungler" by countless viewers, had no ability to fight back throughout the three games. The FW jungle was like Wang Yu's back garden, where he could enter and exit as he pleased.

As for Gank and counter-gank.

Karsa didn't even dare to think about it.

Because in his opinion.

Wang Yu's whereabouts were so elusive that even if one could see him, it was impossible to determine whether he was deliberately exposing his whereabouts or he really didn't notice that he had been discovered.

“Congratulations to TOP1 for defeating FW 3:0 and advancing to the MSI finals!!!”

LPL commentator was ecstatic.

The LCK commentator looked a little worried.

"Ya ...

"Am I blind? Why can't I see any hope for ROX to win in tomorrow's finals?"

"It's okay. If we lost to Emolove, we can forgive them. But if we lost to G2, we absolutely cannot forgive them!"
