We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

See you at MSC in Chapter 186

Xu Xinghe had already walked over to TES's side.

He was backlit, his calm face flickering between light and shadow on the stage.

"........."

There's not much to say about 369.

He's feeling extremely frustrated and upset after finishing this best-of-five series.

They've become withdrawn due to being targeted.

To put it bluntly, he now wishes he could have an offline solo match with Xu Xinghe.

To quote JBKING:

I wish I could punch this guy to death!
You ganked me in the top lane more than ten times in one game. Are you even human?

But after glancing at the physiques on both sides, 369 rationally abandoned the idea.

Although Xu Xinghe doesn't have a Korean-style double-door look, his muscles are still quite prominent.

369 was certain he couldn't win.

There is only silence.

Xu Xinghe also saw the resentment in 369's eyes, but he didn't care.

369 has good emotional control, so there's no need to worry about him getting into a fight.

If it were a player like Death's Declaration, who is emotionally unstable...

Xu Xinghe made the first move.

Just kidding, junglers can also have the initiative.

He took a step forward and bumped fists with Karsa, who had already stood up.

"sharp."

Karsa spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Today he finally understands why everyone says Xu Xinghe is the world's number one.

Even disregarding his ability to control the tempo in the early and mid-game, his smooth operation after gaining an advantage is something that most junglers could learn for a lifetime.

This is really not an exaggeration.

Expanding one's advantages sounds simple, but it takes time and effort.

Xu Xinghe is in the very top tier.

Karsa was probably the most accepting of today's loss to IG.

Because he was truly going head-to-head with Xu Xinghe.

I know very well that I didn't lose unjustly.

"You played well too."

Xu Xinghe nodded with a smile.

Even though he was carried in a sedan chair by people, he wasn't an impolite person.

"I……"

Karsa gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Did you play well?

To be honest, he had already given it his all.

But the difference in strength was undeniable; he was clearly no match for Xu Xinghe.

For some unknown reason, he sighed and said:

"I'm sorry, I probably didn't even let you use your full strength."

Karsa spoke sincerely because, in his opinion, Xu Xinghe could manipulate him with ease.

But when these words reached Xu Xinghe's ears, they made his expression somewhat strange.

What do you mean?
Dude, are you cosplaying Gojo Satoru here?

Oh no, I've become a Nuo spirit!?
With a strange expression, Xu Xinghe walked past Karsa and stood in front of Knight.

This promising mid-laner, who has been in the professional scene for three years, is now keeping his head slightly lowered and pursing his lips in silence.

Actually, Knight played quite well today.

He did everything he could to pressure the opponent, maintaining an advantage throughout the laning phase.

If Xu Xinghe hadn't been watching the mid lane the whole time, Rookie might have really been crushed by Knight.

Judging solely from his laning ability, the nickname "Golden Left Hand" is truly well-deserved.

It's important to remember that Rookie is a two-time world champion mid laner. Even if he's declined in rank, he's not someone that just any trash mid laner can mess with.

Ji Shuai has a very good foundation.

But Knight can indeed dominate Rookie, and even shut Rookie down in lane.

Xu Xinghe extended his hand and bumped fists with Knight.

"come on."

He spoke softly, which could be considered a form of encouragement for Knight.

"……Thanks."

Knight looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but immediately nodded in thanks.

The communication between the two ended here.

Xu Xinghe encouraged him simply out of respect for his value.

Knight was originally a player for YM, and his contract with PDD was signed until the end of S10.

Others may not know, but Xu Xinghe knows very well.

During Season 11, a certain seafood channel and a certain wounded streamer channel ran into trouble with their so-called "card-selling" schemes, and a number of big streamers, including PDD, were caught in the mess. PDD's original agency was also investigated.

The contracts of many of their players have been transferred to a clone company called Chengfeng Capital.

It was at this time that Knight gave up on renewing his contract with PDD and instead joined another agency.

This is his chance.

Others may not know, but Xu Xinghe knows how ridiculously high Knight's value will skyrocket in the future.

By 23, Knight's market value had even surpassed Faker's.

Hua Zi is a top-tier mid-laner, and he definitely deserves the price.

Knight has been playing for TES for quite some time now, and his player contract is with TES.

However, player contracts and economic contracts are completely different things, and TES's manager, Guo Hao, also trusts Knight a lot.

Upon learning that his economic contract with PDD had not yet ended, and fearing that it would put Knight in a difficult position, he negotiated with PDD to stipulate that TES would have the right of first refusal for Knight's contract, and that was all.

If Knight really wants to leave, Guo Hao will feel it's a pity, but he won't hold him back from his contract.

TES did a very humane job in this regard.

Unlike the ugly mess between Scout and EDG.

But that's another matter; the main problem lies with Scout himself.

After shaking hands with Knight, Xu Xinghe naturally walked over to Ah Shui.

The two smiled at each other in the video. Without hesitation, Ah Shui gave Xu Xinghe a hug and patted him on the back.

[Wow, they're actually that close?]

Weren't we always on good terms?

[What happened to Master Xu's plan to clean house? There's a mole! It turns out Master Xu is the mole!] [Don't talk nonsense. Didn't IG and TheShy and JackeyLove part ways amicably? It was just a normal transfer. It's just that their fans kept targeting IG.]

The viewers in the live chat were taken aback by the hug, but quickly realized what was going on.

Indeed, IG and TheShy (JackeyLove) parted ways amicably.

The contestants already had a good relationship, and Ah Shui even mentioned in the promotional video that he had told Xu Xinghe in advance.

Isn't it normal for these two to have a good relationship now?

Despite the fierce online battles between TheShy and JackeyLove's fans, it doesn't affect the fact that TheShy and Xu Xinghe still have a good relationship.

"You went too far, buddy."

Ah Shui looked somewhat resentful.

The first game was okay, but in the next two games, Xu Xinghe targeted him in every team fight.

What angered Ah Shui the most was that sometimes when Knight stood with him, Xu Xinghe would kill both of them at once.

Your left hand too? Oh, it's just a quick thing to do!
They went all out.

They were teammates before, is it really necessary?
"This is heavy? I think you're trying to fight me to the death."

Xu Xinghe chuckled.

Ah Shui's expression froze: "You bastard..."

Who would dare to fight to the death with wild fish?

Mingkai is a jungler himself, so he probably doesn't care.

For online players, their relationship with junglers from other teams is either that they don't know each other, or that they do know each other and have a good relationship.

On the one hand, it's great to be matched with Korean players to climb the ranks; on the other hand, in matches, having a good relationship with someone often reduces the chances of being targeted.

It's been a month or two since we last saw each other. Ah Shui saw that he was still full of energy, making jokes about Mingkai, and knew that he was in very good shape.

Goodbye MSC.

"Ah."

Xu Xinghe nodded without saying anything more.

MSI has been cancelled, but Riot Games has chosen to hold MSC instead because of the request from the owner of SKT, which has now been renamed T1.

This year's MSC, known as the Mid-Season Cup in Chinese, did not include any European or American teams.

This is mainly due to server issues.

After all, for some reason, no one can go out right now. If everyone is at the base, it's okay in Asia, but the delay in Europe and America is a bit too big.

But in terms of the prestige of this MSC, it is by no means low.

This competition selects the top four teams from the playoffs of the LPL and LCK regions.

to be frank.

The top four teams from LPL and LCK are much stronger than the MSI quarterfinals, which used to include European and American teams.

Although TES lost to IG, they have already made it into the top four even without playing in the third-place match, so they naturally qualify for the MSC.

Ah Shui's "Goodbye to MSC" was not just a polite remark.

He didn't think the gap between TES and IG was really that big. In his eyes, apart from the first game where both sides really fought, the next two games were TES's own fault for underperforming.

They shook hands all the way to the last prophet.

Xu Xinghe shook hands casually, then left the stage without looking back to wait for his teammates to go to the rest room.

He didn't have a very good impression of prophets.

It's not because of a lack of skill, it's because this person has the potential to be an ingrate.

To be honest, TES wasn't bad at all for Yuyanjia, but after Yuyanjia retired, he started to lead the TES team's momentum.

That's disgusting.

Ding dong.

Xu Xinghe took out his phone; it was a message from Canyon.

Canyon: Congratulations, runner-up.

Xu Xinghe:?

Canyon: I watched JDG's match, they've evolved again.

Xu Xinghe: Hehe
Canyon: We've evolved too, MSC, you're doomed!

Xu Xinghe: You're a Digimon too? Don't bark like a dog until you reach Ultimate level.
Canyon:?
At the DWG club, Canyon scratched his head and looked at Xu Xiu, who was eating stir-fried rice cakes beside him.

"Xiuer, what is Digimon?"

"do not know."

"Hey! That's so cold! I'm confiscating the stir-fried rice cakes!"

"You just want to eat it, you bastard!"

"How dare you say 'shiba' to your Jianfu brother? You little brat, I have no choice but to bully you today! Here you go!"

"Ah, Kenji, I was wrong! Give it back! Give it back!"

Ghost smirked.

Sometimes, even his teammates, like Shen Jin, make him feel quite helpless.

"Beryl, do you think they're crazy?"

Beryl's computer screen displayed images he couldn't understand, when at that moment a rather cute little zombie girl popped up.

boom!
Beryl slammed his hand on the table and let out a wail:
"Damn it, it's off again! Ah!!! Mihoyo, damn it!"

Ghost: ...

Are there any normal people left in this base?

He was lost in thought.

It would be hilarious if this team won the championship, right?

Ghost was amused by his own sudden thought.

Meanwhile, Xu Xinghe had already arranged to chat with Ah Shui and the others later.

In general, people eat and chat at the same time.

Of course, given the current conditions, going out to eat is basically impossible.

Most of the shops outside have been closed, and every residential area is under lockdown.

Every spectator who came to watch the game had a face mask.

That is, Shanghai now; in other places, people are basically not allowed to leave their homes.

But before that, Xu Xinghe still had things to do.

That is, giving an interview.

As the lockdown became increasingly severe, the LPL officials seized this last opportunity and demanded that Xu Xinghe give an interview.

Xu Xinghe was naturally unhappy.

LPL: We'll pay you, bro.

Xu Xinghe: On the other hand...
"Hello everyone, I'm Galaxy, the jungler from IG."

He put on a business smile and waved gently at the camera.
