Chapter 266 LPL Collective Tears: Come Back, My Most Proud Chen Sheng

"Add another world championship trophy..."

When everyone around heard Letme's words, they became silent.

In the LPL division, the MSI trophy is currently the only card and top honor they can play in global world events.

EDG, which has won the MSI championship, has become the No. 1 team in the LPL, and its popularity has remained in second place and first place.

The factory director reached the pinnacle of his career because of this championship. Others in EDG also received countless benefits and were treated like treasures by LPL officials.

But for this kind of championship trophy, Chen Yiqiu is expected to win the second one.

And maybe he himself doesn't even "care" that much. After all, all professional teams around the world have more important goals and ambitions this year - to win the Bird's Nest trophy.

Reaper is from the LPL region...

Not only these LPL players, but also Jin Yibo and other LPL management and leadership at this moment, their eyes were blank, and their moods were as complicated as if they had knocked over a five-flavor bottle.

"Mr. Jin... I think if the LPL region wants to achieve results, it seems that it really needs to rely on some super players. At least he can bring us hope."

The assistant next to him was silent for a while and said softly.

Jin Yibo didn't reply.

Nonsense, doesn’t he know this?

The problem is that as early as the moment Chen Yiqiu left the LPL, it was already settled that the official team up with RNG to offend him.

In other words, they offended people too much. At least in their eyes, there must be this reason why Chen Yiqiu has never returned to LPL.

They don't think about team configuration, honors and other things, they just look at it from their own point of view.

So obviously, in a business war where interests come first, if you offer enough benefits and the other party refuses to compromise, then there are only two possibilities.

One is that the benefits are not enough, and the other is that the other party still has a large degree of personal emotions.

Jin Yibo believes that it is both.

"...It doesn't matter anymore, let's cheer for WE together, WE is what we rely on now."

Jin Yibo withdrew his gaze and looked at the LPL people not far away on the other side.

In the crowd, the WE guys in red uniforms are very eye-catching.

The director changed the camera several times in order to cue WE and attract the huge popularity of the LPL competition.

"I hope so."

Several people nearby heard the sound and said nothing. However, only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

…

Backstage.

"Ah, Yiqiu, you were really handsome just now. Did you practice in private? You look so handsome every time you end up, and you make it difficult for us brothers to survive?"

Li Zaiwan's chubby little pink fist hit Chen Yiqiu's chest, which made Chen Yiqiu's chest feel tight.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is not a practice. What you want is naturalness and smoothness. Deliberate practice would be too rigid and might be counterproductive."

Chen Yiqiu denied it and explained why he couldn't practice this.

But there is one thing to say, the action just now was really cool. He expected that his animated GIF has also been made and will soon be circulated in public opinion forums and media platforms in major competition areas around the world.

"Hey, Brother Zaiwan, you are wrong."

The little peanut next to him put forward a different opinion: "This kind of thing really cannot be practiced. One is to rely on Brother Yiqiu's face, and the other is of course the most important victory."

"In e-sports, there is only one winner, and we are the winner every time. Even if you are missing arms and legs, as long as you keep winning, everyone will have a filter for you."

"Are you right what I said? Brother Yiqiu!"

Chen Yiqiu: "..."

thank you.

"You're right, don't say it again next time."

After a pause, Chen Yiqiu added: "By the way, Wanghu, my brother's socks are dirty. Remember to wash them when you return to the base."

Peantu: "?"

"Okay, don't tease him."

Li Sang Hyuk, whose aunt had been laughing next to him, interrupted and stopped Chen Yi Qiu's "bad" behavior of bullying children.

"Dear players, our best players, thank you for your hard work."

There was a sound of clattering footsteps. Kkoma and his team walked up to everyone in SKT and happily hugged Chen Yiqiu and others in turn.

"Well played."

"I've been promoted, I've been promoted. This time, I'll invite you to the bar for a drink next time!"

"Wow, coach, you are so generous, can't you be in love?"

Li Zaiwan pricked up his ears and immediately caught Hua Dian.

However, his eyes and expression became sad, and he eagerly observed Kkoma's expression.

As a result, his heart became heavier the next second.

Because he found that Kkoma was acting a little embarrassed at the moment. Although he concealed it well, he still couldn't escape his two-hundred-pound eyes...

"Uh, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I talk about love? I don't even talk about love."

Kkoma shook his head in denial. He is a very rational coach and will never affect the game state of his players because of these off-field factors.

If even he is single, then the SKT Chunan team, which once promised to be single until old age together, will really be the only one left with Lee Jae-wan.

When the time comes, Fatty Li will not be able to seek life and death, and just start showing off?

No, no, you absolutely cannot tell him this.

"The coach is right. We agreed to stay single until we grow old together. Whoever falls in love first will be the dog."

Pei Junzhi is not very interested in content and topics related to competitions and games, but he is only interested in love. He immediately cheered up and said, "I'll come first."

"Woof woof woof!"

Everyone: "..."

"He is indeed a real dog."

Chen Yiqiu made a brief comment.

"... Take a rest. MSI's schedule is very tight. We will save the celebration until after we win the championship... Well, everyone will take a rest for a while and prepare for the interview. We will not resume the game for now."

Kkoma released his "goodwill".

That's right, in the current SKT, even if you crush and win, no matter how well you play, after the game is over, you must conduct a comprehensive review to find each other's weaknesses and small mistakes, so as to make corrections.

This perverted level of harshness is naturally advocated by Kkoma, and the current results are good.

Of course, the results of the competition are good, but it is difficult to say the physical and psychological torture to the players.

Li Sang Hyuk strongly agreed with this policy, Chen Yiqiu was dispensable, and the others were all Sima-faced.

So after hearing what Kkoma said, several other members of SKT showed obvious excitement on their faces, and Pei Junzhi couldn't help but touch his chin.

If I can rest today... I should make a video call to Ji Xuan that evening.

"By the way, Yiqiu and Xianghe, get ready. One of you is going to LCK and the other is going to LPL later."

Kkoma informed in advance.

As the two most popular players in the SKT team, they are the most competitive for post-game interview invitations after every game.

Taking into account LPL official factors, it is not surprising that Riot Games arranged for Chen Yiqiu to be interviewed by the LPL division this time.

Soon after, the director gave the notice.

Chen Yiqiu greeted several teammates and then went to the LPL competition area interview booth with the team leader.

The person interviewing him today is not Yu Shuang, but Xiran who appeared in LPL not long ago.

When the two met, Xiran looked curiously at Chen Yiqiu. Although this was a legendary player who was not in the LPL region, everyone in the LPL region had already heard of Cocoon.

"Hello Reaper, I'm Xiran."

"Hello."

Chen Yiqiu had a polite smile on his face.

"...The interview will be over later. Can you please sign your autograph? I...I like you very much."

"Of course, do you want to take a photo?"

In fact, the outside world has always had a misunderstanding about Chen Yiqiu.

Especially the LPL division.

Because Chen Yiqiu refused to return to the LPL several times, the impression and evaluation of him in the LPL competition area have always been cold.

Today, Chen Yiqiu has three more LCK championship trophies, an MSI finals trophy, and the most important S championship trophy.

All these together give people a feeling of being high and unattainable.

This is a bit similar to the image that Lee Sang Hyuk brings to audiences around the world, a cold and invincible demon king and robot, with a very exaggerated character.

Therefore, LPL newcomers like Xiran are nervous and excited about meeting Chen Yiqiu.

"Ah...can I have this? Thank you so much, I...thank you!"

Xiran was surprised and happy, clasping her hands together.

"You can have this."

Chen Yiqiu was amused and felt that this little girl was much better than Aunt Yu Shuang before.

At least it can be seen that they really don't have that many things going on.

Unlike Yu Shuang, who is obviously a competition host, but has always worried about the management and tried every means to "seduce" himself from the side.

Also express some connotation from time to time.

It's funny enough.

"Then let's get started."

The two of them actually didn't have time to say anything more, because the director's camera was stuck.

After receiving the news from the headset, Xiran's smile faded, and he put on a slightly jerky professional smile and faced the camera: "Welcome to the post-game interview of the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational semi-finals."

"We have invited SKT's top laner, the "famous"... God King, Reaper!"

Crash.

"Ahhhh!!"

"Reaper!! Reaper!!"

"I'm super, holy!"

"Chen Sheng's rough nest!!"

"???"

"What a handsome Chen Sheng!"

"Creator of divine pictures, one picture makes fans!"

"...!"

The audience was unsurprisingly enthusiastic and crazy, and some people even played the cool GIF of Chen Yiqiu waving to the audience while walking off the stage after the game, which was already popular in the anti-pressure bar, in an infinite loop.

The director cut to a close-up shot, and after confirming that Chen Yiqiu had seen it, he cut to a close-up shot of him again.

Highlight a bells and whistles.

If you know how to cut, cut more.

Chen Yiqiu complained in his heart, but still had a smile on his face.

"Ah... then, you can feel that the popularity of the Reaper players on the scene is really, really high."

Xiran looked at Chen Yiqiu with a smile and asked the first question: "First of all, congratulations to SKT. In today's semi-final BO5, they won FW with a strong force of 3:0 and successfully advanced to the MSI finals."

"This is the second time a Reaper player has advanced to the MSI finals. If I remember correctly... on this day last year, you probably had not won any honors."

"I think you must have taken MSI very, very seriously at that time. I would like to ask about the difference and comparison between your mood then and now."

Xiran's questions were more detailed than Yu Shuang's, the style was very friendly, and the questions were obviously ones that she had thought about carefully just now.

Chen Yiqiu listened carefully and couldn't help but smile when he heard last year's MSI and himself.

Then he picked up the microphone and said: "Well...last year now is indeed the most important moment in my career...the first most important moment."

"My thoughts at the time were actually very simple, because at that time I was not as proficient as I was with the team and my teammates...so what I thought at the time was that I must win the championship no matter what."

"you did it."

Xiran smiled and nodded.

But after saying that, her expression froze.

Because she sensed something was wrong.

There was nothing wrong with Chen Yiqiu's answer, and there was nothing wrong with her previous question, but...she shouldn't have said "you did it."

The one that competed with SKT for the championship last year is now the most popular and most vocal team in the LPL, RNG.

It's over, it's over, this is terrible, I will be scolded to death when I go back...

Xiran felt upset.

At this moment, I heard Chen Yiqiu's clear and hearty voice coming from the side: "Actually, now that I think about it, I was still a little too young at that time. If it happened again, maybe I would handle it better."

He didn't say what he was dealing with. Most people thought it was some details and operations on the game.

But in the minds of interested people, it is more like talking about his past relationship with RNG and LPL.

Whether it is or not, it is.

The LPL division is full of thoughtful people!

【I am super! Chen Sheng, come back! 】

[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Upon hearing this, I, an old emperor, broke my guard. 】

[Huang Za, can you please get out of here and misinterpret someone’s meaning like this? Did Reaper say RNG? 】

[It made me laugh. LPL is really humble. If someone just says something, you can think of a 100,000-word novel. 】

【Chen Sheng! I do not care! I want Chen Sheng! ! 】

[Reaper is Chinese, Reaper is Chinese, Reaper is Chinese, say important things three times! 】

[It’s over, the LPL miscellaneous collective climax, is this the gold content of Chen Sheng? 】

【……! 】

The trend of the barrage and public opinion changed instantly. Not many people noticed what Xiran just said. Everyone was even grateful to Xiran. If it weren't for her, Reaper wouldn't have been able to say such "gentle" words.

"Uh... I think the Reaper players are really self-effacing."

Xiran felt grateful in her heart, with a calm expression on her face, knowing that this was a slide that she could not touch at the moment, and continued to ask: "I would like to ask the Reaper player, how does it feel to advance to the MSI finals again, if...if this time How will you celebrate when you defend your title?"

"The feeling this time is still great, because every victory is an affirmation for an e-sports player."

Chen Yiqiu answered the first question first, and then said: "To celebrate..."

He paused and looked directly at the camera: "After this year's MSI, our champion skin will be launched online. It will bloom both online and offline to promote skin culture. I suggest you buy more skins then..."
