You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 120: I believe you already have the answer.
After bowing to the audience, Ming Jing packed up his peripherals and left the stage with his teammates.

At the entrance to the lounge, today's commentator, Xi Ran, had been waiting for a long time. He greeted Ming Jing, indicating that he would be interviewing him today.

Mingjing nodded, first putting his peripherals into his bag, then following Xiran back to the entrance of the passage, preparing to go on stage again.

Incidentally, Ming Jing also took a special look at the MVP candidate for this game.

Actually, it's hard to say who the MVP is this game. After all, Mingjing doesn't think he had any outstanding performance. He just farmed and dealt damage in a methodical way. At most, his stats just looked good.

If the director gives the MVP to the toothpaste, that would be perfectly reasonable.

However, this year's World Championship broadcasters seem to have a particular fondness for looking at data.

Ming Jing's official costume photo reappeared in the picture.

This time, Ming Jing is facing the camera sideways, looking into the distance, and making a "1" gesture with his left hand, showing the demeanor of a master.

The data is absolutely astonishing: a 7-0-6 Jinx with a 39% damage share!
Including this, Ming Jing has won five MVP awards in a row during the elimination stage.

It goes without saying who the key player is in the team.

If we include the three MVPs from the group stage, Mingjing's MVP count in this World Championship has reached 8.

The current MVP record in the S-series is held by Xiaotian, who won a total of nine MVPs last year. This means that if Mingjing can win two more MVPs in the upcoming matches, he will make history.

"Keep it up in the finals!" Xi Ran, who was standing to the side, cheered Ming Jing on when she saw the MVP result.

This was the first time Ming Jing had spoken to Xi Ran, so he simply smiled and nodded before following Xi Ran onto the stage for an interview.

After greeting the audience, the first question was quickly posed.

"How do you feel now that you've successfully won the semi-final?"

Upon hearing this routine question, Ming Jing replied without hesitation, "Of course I'm in a great mood. Top Esports has always been one of our strongest rivals, but the team was very confident in this match, and it was a victory that we expected."

Ming Jing never minces words; Top Esports is indeed a formidable opponent.

After all, besides DWG, the biggest threats to the team are TES and SN.

As for the others, like those from Europe and America, or those from Korea 2 and Korea 3, they're all trash. It's hard to even win a single training match against them!
As for TES and SN, they can barely reach a 30% win rate.
This is why Mingjing said before the match that TES would at most beat them by one game, given their win rate in scrims.

Now that toothpaste has reformed its ways, their chances of winning will undoubtedly be even higher!

Inside the live stream, countless viewers laughed upon hearing Ming Jing's words.

As expected.

Before the match, Xiaofei said that Top Esports would win at most one game, and now they have won three to one. He really lived up to his word!

Xi Ran smiled and nodded, then quickly asked her second question: "Before the match, you said you wanted to prove who the world's best AD carry is. Now that the match is over, do you feel you deserve that title?"

Xi Ran's question was quite direct and was destined to sting a segment of the population, but Xi Ran was not afraid and asked the question boldly.

After all, she is an EDG contracted host, and Mingjing is also an EDG player, so they are considered family.

Whether I am worthy or not is not for me to decide; it is up to the audience to decide.

Ming Jing smiled and said, "But I believe that once the audience finishes watching today's best-of-five series, they will all get a positive answer."

Backstage at this moment, JackeyLove had just finished packing up his peripherals and was preparing to conduct a group interview with reporters.

However, Ming Jing's voice during the interview was broadcast throughout the venue via the sound system, causing him to pause slightly.

To be honest, he felt okay right after the match ended, since it wasn't the first time he had lost.

Last year at S9, he was eliminated in the same way as today, losing 1 to 3.

Reaching the semi-finals isn't too bad, and it's acceptable to console oneself by saying that reaching the semi-finals is a success.

But upon hearing Ming Jing's words, his heart sank, and he felt an overwhelming sense of regret welling up from all directions, making it hard for him to breathe, and his face burned.

At that moment, Karsa noticed JackeyLove suddenly slowing down. He turned around and saw the other's slightly flushed face.

He looks a bit like his old teammate.

"Alright." Karsa put her arm around JackeyLove's shoulder and laughed, "If we lose this year, we can try to win it back next year."

JackeyLove forced a smile, took a deep breath, and then walked with his teammates toward the press room.

In today's match, both the winner and loser were fair and square, so JackeyLove has nothing to say.

He really did lose this time.

But in the future, he may still have a chance to win it back.

At the same time, in a certain place in Wuhan.

Watching the live stream and listening to Ming Jing's response, Wang Hao's jealousy reached its peak.
Damn, that guy really knows how to show off.
Equally astonished was Zheng Hu, the homeroom teacher who was watching the game.

Seeing Mingjing's confident smile in the picture, even Zheng Hu was infected and couldn't help but smile.

Even after watching all this, he still finds it hard to believe that the genius on stage is one of his students.

It was already quite abstract when they suddenly announced they were going to play in the World Championship, but how did they end up becoming the world's number one AD carry?

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Hu, the homeroom teacher, simply turned off the live stream and resumed his work at his desk.

The World Championship will end in one week. Regardless of whether Mingjing wins the championship, he will definitely come back to continue his sprint in mathematics competitions after the competition ends.

As a math teacher, Zheng Hu's job is to create separate practice questions based on Ming Jing's recent mistakes, so that Ming Jing can quickly catch up with the rest of the class.

At this moment, in the live broadcast, Xiran asked her last question.

"Next week, the S10 World Championship Finals will kick off at the Pudong Football Stadium. Facing the formidable opponents from the group stage again, does Phi have the confidence to win?"

“Of course.” When talking about the finals, Ming Jing’s tone became serious: “Half a month has passed since the group stage, and JD.com has made considerable progress. I believe that JD.com will be the winner of this final.”

“We all believe that too!” Xi Ran replied with a smile, then added with a laugh, “We hope JD Gaming can keep the championship in the LPL!”

The interview ended there. Ming Jing returned to the lounge and saw that all his teammates had already put on their backpacks and were waiting for his return. Their faces were full of anticipation.

As is customary, there will be a big meal after winning the competition!
For the JDG players, who are all incredibly wealthy, this feast was a source of spiritual comfort during their arduous and monotonous journey to the World Championship.
Ming Jing smiled and boarded the bus back with his teammates, then lowered his head and started browsing Tieba (a Chinese online forum).
