LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

The spotlight shone brightly in the center of the stage.

Li Hu walked onto the stage alongside his teammates, his posture calm and composed, his face showing no excessive joy, only indifference.

Having endured the dormancy of the secondary league in his previous life and the low point of his career as a gaming companion...

Now, having reached the top of the Demacia Cup, bathed in the spotlight and showered with glory, he has long since shed his eighteen-year-old naiveté and fully displays the demeanor of a true master.

The Demacia Cup championship trophy, weighing heavily on the display stand.

The silver trophy is dazzling and engraved with the glory of the victor.

The five people stood side by side, raising their hands to lift up the trophy that symbolized honor!

The moment the trophy was raised high, gold confetti rained down, and the stage lights shone brightly!

The five of them shouted in unison, "We are the champions!"

The cheers reached their peak, shaking the entire stadium!

This scene became the most shocking and classic moment of the 2022 Demacia Cup victory!

After the trophy presentation ceremony, the FMVP selection process began:

"Next, we will announce the FMVP of this Demacia Cup Finals."

Yu Shuang turned to the side and pointed at the large screen.

On the big screen, Li Hu's official portrait slowly appeared.

The face that looked remarkably like a young Edison Chen, wearing the black and red TES jersey, had a cold expression.

Next to it is the original artwork of Jayce... Jayce is carrying a cannon, and the FMVP frame is flashing in the center of the screen.

Horrifying personal data scrolls across the screen.

KDA: 7/0/7

Team damage percentage: 53.2%

Group tour participation rate: 78.7%

Counter-economic difference: +5920

MVP count: 8

Data from the three games of the finals: Darius 14 kills, Azir 8 kills, Jayce 7 kills.

Three games with zero deaths, and a KDA of 33/0/17.

Nine Demacia Cup matches, eight MVP awards, 100% win rate.

They won the championship with a perfect record.

The entire stadium erupted in cheers more intense than ever before.

"FMVP...Glory!"

Yu Shuang's voice was drowned out by the cheers.

Li Hu walked onto the podium and received the FMVP trophy from the presenter.

The trophy wasn't large, but it felt heavy, and the coolness of the metal came from my palm.

He raised the trophy, and the screams from the fans below the stage immediately reached their highest point.

"FMVP! Glory!"

"Li Hu! Champion!"

"Big Tiger! Big Tiger! Big Tiger!"

After the FMVP selection, the routine interview session began.

As the cheers subsided slightly, Yu Shuang and the others smiled and raised the microphone:

"Congratulations on winning the Demacia Cup and being named the Finals MVP, Glory!"

"At eighteen years old, you won the championship in your first official professional tournament. What are your thoughts at this moment?"

The entire room fell silent instantly, everyone waiting for the super rookie's answer.

"First of all, I am very happy to win this championship. I thank TES for giving me this opportunity, my teammates for their hard work, the coaching staff for their dedication, and the audience and fans who have always supported us."

"This is just the beginning; the Demacia Cup is just the starting point."

"We will continue to strive for excellence in the upcoming Spring Split, MSI, Summer Split, and World Championship, bringing glory to the LPL and aiming for the title!"

A few simple words, yet they reveal the whole picture!

Yu Shuang nodded repeatedly and continued to ask questions:

"In three games, you played nine different heroes, which are versatile enough to be used in the top and mid lanes. Your hero pool is unfathomable."

"Many viewers are curious, is there a limit to your champion pool?"

"And your extreme pulling and tugging, which some viewers jokingly call 'spinning top play,' what do you have to say about that?"

As soon as he said that, the whole audience burst into laughter, and the live chat screen was instantly flooded with comments.

Li Hu smiled casually as he spoke earnestly:

"Regarding the issue of having a deep hero pool, I first need to thank my good teammate, Qingtian."

"He was the one who practiced heroes with me day and night when I first arrived at the TES base."

"He taught me how to play Darius well."

"Although he didn't play in this championship, he still made a huge contribution."

"As for the maximum number of heroes in the hero pool?"

"Personally, I don't think there's such a thing as a hero ceiling."

"There are only playstyles you're afraid to try. As long as you're willing to step out of your comfort zone and practice more, you'll eventually master a hero."

"I personally don't believe that you can't master Gnar in one season."

"As for the spinning top gameplay, my original intention was very simple: the top lane tests the ultimate laning ability and teamwork."

"Therefore, it is very appropriate for me to compare it to the traditional Chinese theory of spinning tops."

"On the top lane, there is no third path to choose from, except for spinning the top and being spun out."

"I hope that on the field, my opponents will learn from their mistakes after I spin them and try to get back at me next time!"

"Only in this way can we progress and grow together!"

"Because this is a virtuous cycle!"

"Of course, if you don't work hard enough, you'll always be destined to be the one I spin the top around in."

Li Hu's domineering speech instantly ignited the entire audience!

Applause and screams instantly filled the venue!

Holy crap! That's awesome! That's cool! That's the aura of a top rookie!

[My message: Top lane top-spinning relativity! I've only ever heard similar egg-like statements; if you don't work hard enough, you'll only be whipped by my top! Classic quote!]

[So Big Tiger's Darius was taught by Sunny! No wonder he looked so familiar!]

[Big Tiger is showing off online! I'm a complete fan now!]

Yu Shuang was also shocked by these remarks, and then smiled and asked:

"What are your expectations for the upcoming LPL Spring Split?"

Li Hu held the microphone, looking calmly at the camera.

"The Demacia Cup is just a warm-up."

"My true stage is in the LPL."

"I know that many veteran top laners in the LPL have a habit of teaching newcomers a lesson on the field."

"Perfect timing, I'd also like to experience the skills of you seniors."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"after all……"

"If you want a spinning top to spin fast and hard, you have to whip it hard enough."

"If I want to continue to grow, I need to compete with more powerful seniors."

"So, see you in the Spring Split, LPL veterans."

"Then we'll see who's spinning whose top."

The audience gasped in surprise.

The comments section went completely wild.

Holy crap! He's declaring war! He's declaring war on the entire LPL!

[Who's spinning whose top?! Big Tiger, you're too arrogant!!]

[LPL veteran top laners: We've been ridiculed by a newbie?!]

[BigTiger: I'm not targeting anyone in particular, I'm saying all of you top laners are spinning tops!]

[Bin, 369, Zika, TheShy, Breathe, Shanji... Tremble! The Beyblade King is here!]

The prestige of Big Tiger is still rising!

In Huya's live stream, Zita held his head in an inverted triangle shape with his hands:

"Oh my god!"

"Big Tiger! What is he saying?!"

"He's declaring war on all top laners in the LPL!!"

Crystal Bro collapsed: "I'm speechless! This rookie is even more arrogant than I was back in the LPL kill leader days!"

"Isn't he afraid of being hit by a boomerang at all?!"

Letme's tone was tinged with amusement:

"To be honest, he has the right to be arrogant."

"Eight out of nine games were MVP awards, a perfect record led to the championship, and a hero pool that seems bottomless."

"If he were my teammate, I would absolutely support his 'crazy' attitude. Everyone knows that the crazier you are, the more attention you get!"

AJ chuckled, "Yeah, yeah, what's wrong with talented people being a little arrogant?"

"And he was telling the truth. Those top laners in the Demacia Cup were really wrecked by him."

Li Hu bowed to the audience and then turned and walked off the stage.

His teammates rushed over from the side, and Xiao Fang put his arm around his shoulder, his tone full of admiration:

"Tiger, that last line you said was so cool!"

"Who's spinning their top!"

"I got goosebumps listening to this!"

JiaQi couldn't stop smiling:

"Tiger, aren't you afraid of getting hit by a boomerang?"

Li Hu paused, turning his head to glance at him:

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"As long as I keep winning, no boomerang can hit me."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter.

After interacting with his fans and taking photos, and filming a Douyin video with Aunt Yu Shuang, Li Hu returned to the lounge with everyone.

Qingtian squeezed through from the side, his expression deeply moved as he recalled Li Hu's speech on stage:

"Tiger, I've already screenshotted your last domineering quote and sent it to my mom."

"My mom said this young man is promising and told me to learn from you."

Li Hu raised an eyebrow: "Brother Qingtian, are you sure that's what your mom meant?"

"Didn't I tell you to stop eating so much pork leg rice?"

Sunny's face instantly turned red: "Bullshit! My mom said being able to eat is a blessing!"

The entire lounge erupted in laughter.

Guo Hao waved his hand:

"Let's go, let's have a victory celebration!"

"I've booked several tables; we're not leaving until we're completely drunk tonight!"

At the celebration banquet, as everyone toasted and drank, Li Hu took out his phone and posted a Weibo message:

The accompanying photo shows the person holding a trophy.

Captions: "My first championship of my career," "A little bit of pride: I'm the best player in the league," "You think this is just another ordinary day, but years later you'll realize it's actually the best day of your life!"

Weibo followers discovered the post immediately.

[Big Tiger, you can certainly feel a bit smug about your life now that you've won your first championship! But tomorrow you absolutely have to spin like a whirlwind and become a killing machine on the field! Go for it QAQ!]

[Go Tiger! With your ability, this is only your first championship! You will win many more championships in the future!]

Guan Zeyuan: [Congratulations to Glory for winning the championship and taking home the FMVP! You truly deserve the title of the best top laner in the Demacia Cup today, with pentakills on Darius and Azir! It was so exciting to watch!]

YSCandice (Yu Shuang): [I was there! Glory is so handsome! He played incredibly well! Keep up the good work! Win even more championships!]

Iris: [I watched the entire live stream, and Glory's performance was simply divine!]

JackeyLoveasdzz: [Well played today! Enjoy the victory!]

Li Hu smiled as he read the comments, then put down his phone.

Late at night, the celebration banquet ended.

The bus carried the entire team back to the TES base. The bus was much quieter, and most people were resting in their seats.

The intense competition combined with the festivities of the victory celebration finally took its toll on these teenagers and young adults in their twenties.

Li Hu leaned against the car window, looking at the night view of Shanghai through the glass.

Neon lights flash, cars and people bustle about; this city is forever vibrant.

When he arrived in Shanghai a month ago with a tattered bag, he had nothing.

Now, he has a championship trophy and a group of teammates who fight alongside him.

He took out his phone, swiped the screen, and Shen Jiayu's profile picture popped up.

There was only one message.

[Tiger Bro, congratulations on winning the championship! I watched the whole match! Although I didn't understand many parts, you were absolutely amazing! I'll always believe in you! I believe you can win the S-series championship!]

Li Hu stared at the message for a long time, a feeling he couldn't quite describe welling up inside him.

In his past life, when he was living in Shanghai, he didn't dare to see her.

It's not because I don't like it, but because I feel I'm not qualified.

At that time, he had nothing... no education, no job, no future, and could only sit on the bench in the secondary league when he was playing professionally.

She was a top student in finance, with a bright future ahead of her.

But it's different now.

He won the championship and earned the right to stand in the spotlight.

"Shen Mei."

He pressed the voice button, his tone earnest.

"Thank you for your blessings, this is just the beginning."

"The Demacia Cup title is a gift I gave myself."

"Next up are the LPL Spring Split, MSI, Summer Split, and Worlds..."

"I will win every championship one by one."

"Just you wait and see!"

"Brother Tiger keeps his word."

The voice message was sent out quite a while ago.

Shen Jiayu replied with a voice message, her tone filled with laughter.

"Okay, I'll wait."
