I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

Chapter 128: The Semifinals Begin!

Hou Geting's meddling clearly displeased Song Wen.

In contrast, Wang Ke remained remarkably calm.

In Wang Ke's dormitory, watching Wang Ke slurping instant noodles, Song Wen asked, "Wang Ke, are we really taking five days off?"

Wang Ke didn't even look up: "Your boss has spoken, what can you do?"

"So we're just going to put up with this?"

Wang Ke pushed the instant noodles aside and took a sip of cola.

"I anticipated this situation from the moment you decided to pursue a professional career. No matter how high a professional player's achievements are, in the eyes of capital, they are just a worker."

Think back to when Dafei achieved so much, wasn't he still relegated to the bench by SKT management and relegated to the water boy position for so long?

Seeing Song Wen's displeasure, Wang Ke continued, "So from the very beginning, I had already prepared a backup plan."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Song Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately came over.

"I knew our strategist Wang was a master strategist, he must have made arrangements long ago, tell me about it."

It was rare for Song Wen to flatter him, which secretly pleased Wang Ke.

After all, this Long Aotian has always been arrogant and haughty, and he always calls himself a rat in the gutter.

He glanced at the instant noodles on the table, feigning mystery.

"Look at this bucket of instant noodles."

"What's wrong with the instant noodles?"

Seeing that Song Wen didn't get it, Wang Ke patiently reminded him, "Our income isn't low now, but apart from the takeout Zhu Kai orders, I've been eating instant noodles for late-night snacks every day. Don't you find that strange?"

"Is that strange?"

"Isn't that strange!"

Song Wen looked at him strangely and said, "Aren't you just plain stingy?"

middle,"

Wang Ke stood up and declared emphatically, "The only way to escape the fate of being controlled by capital is to become capital! Only by achieving upward mobility can we take control of our own destiny! The reason I eat instant noodles isn't because I'm stingy, but because I've invested all my limited funds into unlimited investments!"

"For ordinary people, it's impossible to accumulate initial capital quickly, but I'm different. I have a premonition of everything that's going to happen in this era. You don't think my dream is as narrow as yours, just to win a championship, do you?"

Song Wen spoke up: "Isn't your dream to write a novel with 500,000 average daily subscriptions?"

Wang Ke chuckled: "Writing a novel with 500,000 average daily subscriptions in 2017 would be easier than just acquiring Qidian. That was just a joke of mine. You don't really think I'm a utopian, do you?"

Watching Wang Ke keep showing off, Song Wen felt as if ants were crawling all over his body.

"Are you fucking going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm leaving."

Wang Ke sat back down and said calmly, "Actually, I've been buying coins all along."

"What is it?"

"You don't need to pay attention to it; you wouldn't understand even if I explained."

2017 was a year of crazy price surges for Bitcoin.

In January of that year, the average price of Bitcoin was 6300 yuan per coin.

However, by December 17th of this year, the average price of Bitcoin had reached approximately 130000 yuan per coin!

It increased more than twenty times.

According to Wang Ke's calculations, if he sells at the peak, his net profit will be at least tens of millions.

Wang Ke continued, "Don't worry, I'll invest with you."

"How come I didn't know?"

"I fucking told you not to bother you while you were ranking up."

5 month 11 day.

Brazil.

CBLOL Studio, São Paulo.

The highly anticipated 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational has finally begun its group stage matches.

Snake's performance in the LPL has given LPL viewers a lot of confidence for this year's MSI.

However, netizens soon learned that Song Wen and Wang Ke were not on the starting lineup for the first day, which sparked a heated discussion online.

However, the level of discussion surrounding this MSI has clearly decreased compared to previous years.

Because the LPL officials did almost no promotion for this MSI.

Many netizens who don't usually follow the games had no idea that MSI had already started.

Wang Ke had anticipated this move by the authorities.

Let alone MSI, even when IG won LPL's first World Championship title, if Wang Sicong hadn't directly criticized them on Weibo, the official organizers would have continued to play dead.

Although Wang Ke and Song Wen did not play in the first two days of the competition, fortunately, after this period of targeted training, Snake showed a certain strength in the first two days of the group stage.

In the past two days of matches, although Snake lost to SKT and G2, they also defeated North American powerhouses TSM and Flash Wolves, finishing in the middle of the group stage with a 2-2 record.

If it weren't for Hou Geting's questionable actions that affected the Snake team's mentality, they might not have lost the match against G2.

Overall, it's harmless.

The group stage of this Mid-Season Invitational will be a best-of-one (B01) format, with a total of six teams playing two rounds of matches.

Ultimately, four of the six teams will advance to the semifinals, so the competition isn't too intense.

Seeing that the team's performance in the group stage was not bad, Wang Ke and Song Wen, who had been given a five-day vacation by Hou Geting, simply added a few more days of vacation for themselves and did not play in the entire group stage.

After all, with the Snake team basically guaranteed to enter the top four, the later Wang Ke and Song Wen play, the later they will be studied by their opponents.

Wang Ke's guess was correct. The busy CEO Hou had only come to make a formality before becoming a hands-off manager. He probably didn't even watch the MSI matches. After Snake Esports entered the semifinals with a record of four wins and three losses, Hou Geting even sent a red envelope in the newly created team group and specifically praised Wang Ke and Song Wen, who hadn't even played in the group stage.

This made Wang Ke feel that it was a bit too outrageous.

If their CEO Hou had just browsed the internet for MSI-related news, he would know that the two hottest news stories right now are the various speculations sparked by the fact that neither of them appeared in the group stage.

The other news item was about SKT.

Netizens are discussing that this year's SKT seems even more invincible than the team that won the championship last year!

Because during the group stage, SKT achieved a perfect record of ten wins!

This also surprised Wang Ke somewhat.

In his memory, SKT was indeed very strong that year, but if he remembered correctly, SKT's record in the group stage should have been eight wins and two losses.

They lost to Flash Wolves and WE, who had a breakout performance in the last group stage match.

Snake Esports has now replaced WE, and lost to SKT because they deliberately held back.

And FW also lost to SKT!

This also allowed Wang Ke to witness the enormous impact of the butterfly effect for the first time.

In the original timeline, SKT lost to FW because Peanut, SKT's starting jungler, had previously delivered a godlike performance, even achieving a seven-minute godlike streak with Lee Sin against GAM. As a result, he became overconfident and was completely outmaneuvered by FW's Karsa, who counter-ganked and outplayed him in the jungle.

However, perhaps because they saw that Snake Esports didn't field their main players, SKT substituted Peanut, who was starting, with Blank in their match against FW.

This substitution directly caused Karsa's radar to malfunction, allowing SKT to win the game.

As a result, SKT achieved a terrifying ten-game winning streak in the group stage.

Time flies, and it's already January 21nd.

The four semifinalists, Snake, SKT, G2, and FW, had already flown from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro.

The first match of the semifinals, SKT vs. Flash Wolves, concluded yesterday.

Facing the LMS region's Flash Wolves, SKT swept them 3-0.

With their ten wins in the group stage, SKT has now achieved a three-game winning streak!

SKT's strong performance quickly sparked heated discussions among Chinese netizens.

Furthermore, since Wang Ke and Song Wen did not play in the group stage, they could not provide netizens with a clear comparison. As a result, LPL netizens' fear of Korea resurfaced.

In the anti-Korean forum, a group of Korean fans and tadpoles started to use the tiger skin as a banner to vigorously promote the theory that SKT is invincible. In this situation, it is common to praise and criticize. Snake Team, which performed poorly in the group stage, was naturally trampled on.

Snake Esports was considered a domestic powerhouse, but at MSI they were defeated twice by SKT and even lost to G2.

What? SKT will go undefeated and win the championship directly.

What do you mean by "black and white double appearance"? It means they don't want to play. They know they can't win, so they simply don't dare to play!

At this moment, Song Wen was fiercely battling with the trolls on the anti-fan forum. Seeing Wang Ke grinning, he said with displeasure, "What are you laughing at? Fight alongside me!"

"Sigh, you just fight, I'll just watch."

"Garbage! This is supposed to be novel writing?"

Faced with Song Wen's dissatisfaction, Wang Ke simply smiled and made no comment.

To be honest, seeing such a lively and confrontational atmosphere on the anti-racism forum is something he finds incredibly rare.

By 2025, there won't be any more scenes of fans of Liu Bei fighting with Han Kuo-yu's fans and his followers.

Dafei, a six-time champion, slapped the stubborn man's face until it was swollen and made the weak-kneed man kneel down.

Between 20 and 22, fan fiction about League of Legends was still about an all-Chinese team, beating up Dafei, and winning the championship at the Bird's Nest.

From 23 to 25, they began to angrily criticize and criticize the corrupt officials, discipline the scoundrels, and rectify the atmosphere.

25 years later —

As a form of fan fiction, League of Legends esports fiction best reflects the thoughts of today's readers and viewers.

It can only be said that the chaotic yet bustling scene from 17 to 20 will never happen again.

Seeing Song Wen still typing away on his phone, expressing his thoughts, Wang Ke said, "Alright, stop arguing, let's arrange the tactics and get ready to go in."

They will face G2 in the semifinals in half an hour.

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Song Wen said, "That guy from G2, what's his name, Ah P? He's been acting like a jerk. I'm going to give him a good beating today!"

G2 Lounge

Mid laner Perkz was excitedly punching his fist in the rest room.

He had just received confirmation from coach YoungBuck that the Snakes would finally be able to field their player named Black in the semifinals.

This made Ah P extremely excited.

G2 Esports had already studied their LPL opponent for a long time before this MSI.

However, compared to coach YoungBuck, Perkz was more interested in the off-court controversies that occurred with Snake Esports during the Spring Split.

While others were reviewing the Snake team's games, A-P was reviewing Song Wen's post-game interviews every day.

Every time Ah P sees Song Wen in front of the camera, full of vigor, high spirits, and witty remarks, he is filled with envy.

He even cut out his own photo and pasted it onto his computer screen, imagining that he was the one being interviewed.

So at this MSI, Perkz did a lot of stunts in post-match interviews, and even frequently made empty threats against Song Wenping.

As a result, he was labeled a "clumsy imitator" by fans in his own region.

But Ah P showed no sign of backing down.

He even dreamed of winning the MSI championship.

Even after watching it nearly a hundred times, the video of Snake Team refusing to lift the trophy still deeply shocked him.

Even in the past few days, A-P has been urging his teammates not to lift the trophy even if they win the championship, which has earned him several scoldings from head coach YoungBuck, who considers him an idiot.

After defeating Snake in the group stage, Perkz had already spoken out online.

Why isn't Snake letting Black play? Are they too scared to play after seeing me?

After the semifinals were decided, and they learned that their opponent was the Snake Team, Ap posted a message on Twitter.

Hey! Black, stop hiding like a mouse! If you're a man, come out and face me head-on!

His teammates and coaches were already used to A-P's behavior.

They thought that Ap was already abstract enough, but they didn't expect that Snake's mid laner would be even more abstract than Ap.

Just five seconds ago, Song Wen finally replied to Ah P on Twitter and posted a status update.

"Alright, you little slut. Since you"re so eager, you"ll get a taste of

My big dick later.

"6

"Look at this guy! Haha, look at this guy! This guy is hilarious!"

Top laner Ecept couldn't help but complain, "I think you've gone crazy."

Ignoring Ecept, A-P turned to look at the jungler Trick.

"You should keep an eye on the top and bottom lanes, leave the mid lane to me! This is a battle between men! I'm going to solo kill Black!"

Upon hearing Perkz's words, ADC player Zven asked, "What if you get solo killed?"

Ah P glared at me: "If I get solo killed, of course you'd better come and help me gank! Do you guys really want to see me suck Black's crap?"

Mithy's face revealed an undisguised look of disgust.

"Please, can you be a little more sensible? I really can't stand you anymore."

If Mithy's advice had been helpful, Ah P obviously wouldn't be so seriously ill now.

"What champion do you guys think I should play? Orianna? Azir? No, those are too boring to lane against. Yasuo or Zed?"

I think Jayce is pretty good too!

Ecpet retorted without holding back, "I've seen his Jayce; he plays much better than you."

"Are you kidding me? Nobody plays Jayce better than me!"
