After recording the trash talk, I took some spring makeup photos.
The next morning, the official Weibo accounts of RNG and IG clubs released the final makeup photos.
The most eye-catching person in RNG's makeup photo is Mala Xiangguo, who made a finger-hooking gesture towards the front , and this posture is very consistent with his aggressive offensive style.
As for the IG club, the most eye-catching person is still Li Fu.
Not only because of his outstanding male model appearance, but more importantly, in the five-member makeup photo on IG, Rookie has his hands folded in front of his chest and his head tilted...
Only Li Fu, who was standing at the back and was a head taller than everyone else, raised his index finger to his lips and made a "hush" gesture.
It seems like a response to the spicy hotpot.
The LPL event officials also quickly found a gimmick.
The official team quickly processed a Spring Finals PK photo overnight, and selected the photo of Li Fu, who is now in the limelight after defeating the factory manager, and the most representative domestic jungler of LPL, Mala Xiangguo, and combined them into one.
The person on the left hooks his finger provocatively.
The person on the right raised his index finger and booed.
Sure enough,
As soon as the official promotional photo of the LPL Spring Finals was released on the official Weibo, it quickly became a hot topic.
"RNG, charge!"
"Come on, Xiang Guo! Show him what an offensive jungler is!"
"Someone got too arrogant and made a fuss over a half-baked factory manager."
"I have a feeling that someone's jungle is going to be ruined in this Spring Finals."
"It's not just the jungle that's rotten. With Mata's ability to set the pace, I feel like IG's mid and bottom lanes are both rotten today."
“…”
At one o'clock in the afternoon, coach Chris went to the training room to call people when he was getting ready to leave.
I walked behind Li Fu and found that Li Fu was watching the game video.
He originally thought that Li Fu was watching RNG's game video, but when he leaned over to take a look, he found that Li Fu was watching the Spring Finals of the neighboring LCK yesterday.
Before the start of the spring season in the neighboring LCK region, last year's world champion SKT team experienced huge changes, losing the world finals MVP top laner MaRin, as well as substitute players Easyhoon and T0M.
Under such circumstances, the team introduced Duke and Blank, and S3 champion support player PoohManDu also returned to the team as coach. At the beginning of the spring season, it was difficult for everyone to tell the future trend of the team. At that time, their commander MaRin left the team and went to the LPL region. They could only try to find their team's positioning in the struggle.
However, under the leadership of that man, this king's team quickly regained its previous fighting form, maintaining a stable offense as always, and at the same time became more precise in defense.
When Li Fu and his team went to record footage yesterday, SKT defeated a number of strong teams including KT Rolster and ROX Tigers, and finally won the championship trophy again, while also successfully securing a spot in the LCK Mid-Season Championship.
As for ROXTiger, the dark horse that was highly favored last year, after introducing jungler Peanut and mid laner Sylph this season, the Tigers ranked first in the regular season with 16 wins and 2 losses.
But unfortunately, they couldn't escape the curse of their old rival SKT in the spring finals, losing 1:3 and becoming runner-up again - this is very similar to the scene in last year's S5 World Finals.
At the same time, this is the third time that the Tigers have fallen to SKT in a BO5 in the finals.
The silver-haired little Peanut, who was a young man in bright clothes and a vigorous horse, also shed tears on the stage, causing countless LCK female fans to cover their faces and cry.
Li Fu couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Xiao Huasheng's appearance.
It’s the time and it’s the fate.
If there was no SKT team in this world, ROXTiger could be said to be the most dazzling star in the LCK region last year, reaching the peak right after debut and winning the LCK championship and the World Finals championship.
It’s a pity that there is no if.
"Brother Fu...are you really researching this?" Coach Chris couldn't help but ask.
Li Fu turned around and said with a smile, "Of course, I said I would study the opponents of MSI."
Coach Chris couldn't help but look at Li Fu with emotion.
Look!
This is the veteran’s competition background!
The spring finals will start at 3 pm, but at 1 pm he was still studying other regions. He really wasn't nervous at all.
Compared with his crazy and aggressive attitude during the trash talk session yesterday, he started shaking his legs after lunch in the afternoon, and kept checking his phone from time to time. He became visibly anxious.
Obviously, he was already worried that if he lost, he would be ridiculed to the point of quitting the Internet because he had set the flag so high.
etc!
Zizi suddenly reacted.
Come to think of it, Li Fu's trash talk seems to be much harsher than his.
I'm already researching my opponents for MSI...
Tsk tsk!
When he thought of Li Fu's words, Zizi was suddenly not so worried about losing the game.
He felt that even if he lost today, Li Fu would definitely be the one to bear the brunt of the attack on Weibo. He could even imagine those little black fans jumping up and down and shouting.
What? After you finished your research, you decided not to go?
Phew!
Haha...why does it feel so funny?
Zizi was amused by the idea that popped into his head.
Coach Chris, who was about to go up to give the players some psychological counseling before the game, was stunned when he saw that the player, who had been originally anxious and depressed, suddenly smiled.
He scratched his head, somewhat confused about the mental state of these players.
But being able to have fun is always a good thing.
Bang, bang, bang—!
Chris raised his hands and clapped them. After attracting everyone's attention in the training room, he began to boost morale, "Is everyone almost ready? Let's get ready to go. Principal Wang will also be there for the afternoon match, so everyone cheer up! Don't embarrass the boss like last time."
When this was mentioned, Ah Chu's expression became a little subtle.
In the corner, Su Xiaoluo, who was wearing a formal suit and looking down at his watch, suddenly looked unhappy.
Everyone couldn't help but recall the first round of the regular season against RNG. Under the operation of the genius Su Xiaoluo, IG's starting jungler was replaced by Achuan.
The result was a miserable loss.
Principal Wang in the guest seats was so angry that he performed "Su Xiaoluo Drafted.Rap" for a minute.
Thinking about meeting his old rival RNG again this time, Su Xiaoluo's face turned pale.
Li Fu also went up today.
You can't blame me for losing this time, right?
However, when several players heard the boss supervising the battle, they immediately became excited. Rookie, who used to often play in a duo with the boss, even raised his arm and shouted!
"Fuck RNG!"
"We must defeat them!"
If you win, you get a sports car and a young model; if you lose, you have to work in the sea.
Tonight!
Even IG's bottom lane clenched their fists, and the support She Keke felt even more aggrieved when he thought of Mata's trash talk yesterday.
What does it mean to focus all your energy on the overall situation during the game? The energy left in the bottom lane is enough to defeat them.
I told you you were fat and you still gasped!
You are called Northeast Quail?
Today I will line up in a threesome with the defense tower and see how you can break through our bottom lane!
…
On the way to the Mercedes-Benz Center competition venue in the IG nanny car, Li Fu's hand vibrated. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Feng Sichu.
"Come on (Cat makes fist.JPG)"
"Thanks."
Li Fu replied with a smile.
Backstage LPL host waiting room.
Feng Sichu, who was wearing a cheongsam today that showed off her graceful figure, couldn't help but pick up her phone the moment it vibrated. She leaned close to the screen and looked at it carefully, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of her small mouth.
Mo Han next to him shook his head.
It's over, this girl has fallen.
Without even looking, she knew who was on the other end of the line.
"What happened between you and him?" Mo Han couldn't help but ask.
"Ah?" Feng Sichu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said hesitantly, "I told him to cheer up."
"What about him?" Mo Han asked curiously.
"He said...thank you." Feng Sichu said.
Mo Han waited for a long time, and found that Feng Sichu had no further words to say. He was immediately shocked and asked, "That's it?"
"It's a duck." Feng Sichu raised his head and blinked at Mo Han.
Mo Han was speechless for a moment.
"No, then what kind of love are you talking about?"
Unexpectedly, when Feng Sichu heard this, her pretty face suddenly turned bright red, and she waved her hands in front of her hurriedly, "Who...who is in love? We are not that kind of relationship, not at all."
Mo Han: ...
She couldn't help but ask, "That's your unrequited love."
After hearing this, Feng Sichu's face turned red all the way to her neck. Her rosy cheeks looked even more delicate and charming against the backdrop of the cheongsam, but her little hands were waving in front of her body like an electric fan.
"I'm not, I really am not, don't talk nonsense."
Mo Han looked at Feng Sichu's nervous appearance and couldn't help but sigh, feeling both amused and helpless.
The entire LPL audience knows that you sneak glances at people every time you are interviewed. The Internet is full of emoticons of "I love you but I still lack the courage to say it" and countless male netizens have become jealous.
You are denying me three times in a row, right?
Alas, it is becoming more and more confusing when young people fall in love nowadays.
Feng Sichu, with a red face and head lowered, was thinking,
broken,
Even Sister Mo Han noticed it.
Could it be that he saw it too?
etc?
Am I really secretly in love with him?
Feng Sichu was confused again for a moment.
…
At 2:30 p.m., the Mercedes-Benz Center, which can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, was packed.
At first glance, it was a huge crowd.
Not only that, many domestic live broadcast platforms such as Shark, Maoya and Bilibili have also started real-time simultaneous live broadcasts, with online popularity exceeding 20 million, showing the unprecedented grand occasion of LPL, which is now the most popular e-sports event in China!
Right now the players are still preparing backstage and the commentator has not yet appeared, but the big screen is playing the "pre-match interview" of the two teams in the Spring Finals that was just recorded yesterday.
Zzitai: The champion top laner is just so-so.
I will try my best to give RNG's substitute top laner Letme a chance to play.
Opening Lightning Strike!
When the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room heard this, there was an uproar!
Damn, the posture is so ridiculous, but it’s quite fun to listen to.
But there are also many RNG fans mocking:
A team that was defeated by RNG 3-0.
Why is Letme on the court?
Practicing the lineup?
That’s not impossible.
However, what they didn't expect was that this was just the appetizer.
The trash talk continued.
Xiaohu: We have already beaten IG twice this spring, so it should be normal to win again.
Rookie: I don’t think it’s normal. Isn’t it said that things never happen more than three times?
Bottom lane shooter Keke: We can do things when Mata is distracted.
Mata: I think the energy left in the bottom lane is enough to break through IG's bottom lane.
As soon as these words were spoken, many RNG fans at the scene immediately cheered.
Look!
This is the domineering power of our champion assistant!
Then, it was finally the turn of the two junglers who were standing back to back in the promotional photo of this Spring Finals.
Mala Xiangguo: I hope Padre6 can continue to play jungle core in the finals, so it won’t be too boring.
Li Fu: I think what the opponent should worry about is not what type of hero I use, but the person who uses the hero.
Mala Xiang Guo: If Padre6 enters my jungle, I think he is giving away kills, and I will be very lucky to be able to protect my own jungle.
Li Fu: When I’m playing, I often can’t tell which side is my jungle.
The implication is: your jungle is my jungle.
Hearing this, IG fans couldn't help but burst into laughter. They didn't expect that Li Fu, a veteran who is usually mature and steady, can actually be so capable.
RNG fans looked unhappy.
Onions stuck in a pig's nose!
What is this old guy pretending to be?
At this time, Mala Xiang Guo continued: I have watched IG's games, but to be honest, I never considered him as our opponent in the finals. It was quite a surprise to meet him this time.
When RNG fans heard this, they all smiled happily again.
yes!
We don't take you seriously at all.
This is so embarrassing!
IG的粉丝也纷纷有些不忿的看着屏幕，觉得这个麻辣香锅太不给面子了，旋即又有些期待紧张的看着大屏幕。
A normal person would be speechless if he was confronted like this, right? Doesn't that mean that the team has lost momentum before the game even starts?
Unexpectedly, the next second, when the director shot the picture, Li Fu's handsome face appeared.
Under the camera, Li Fu just smiled faintly and nodded, "Coincidentally, we have never considered RNG as an opponent."
"Because I'm already studying the opponents for MSI."
As soon as the words fell, the huge Mercedes-Benz seemed to have been muted.
The next second, the scene erupted in warm applause.
Countless IG fans clapped their hands desperately and excitedly liked Li Fu’s reply, and the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room exploded all of a sudden.
"666."
“This year the trash talk is really good!”
"Hahaha, Emperor Fu said it's always okay to criticize."
“…”
Of course, there are also RNG fans and passers-by who sabotage.
"Study the opponent of MSI? What if we lose?"
"What else can I do? If I lose, I won't go."
"It's so funny. IG's jungler is just like an old general on the stage."
"Fu Huang: I studied the opponents of MSI and decided not to go to MSI."
“…”
At this time, the lens is everything again.
A voiceover asks, "What is the goal of this spring finals?"
Li Fu: I want to prove on this stage that my teammates and I deserve this spot.
As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing another depth bomb!
Many people suddenly recalled the one-minute BO5 semi-final between QG and IG five or six days ago, after which IG was directly judged to have won and advanced, and a series of rumors appeared on the Internet.
There are conspiracy theories like IG doesn't deserve to enter the Spring Finals and that they are a capital team.
During this period, although QG posted a sarcastic public apology letter on its official blog after the storm, saying that it felt very sorry for causing its brother team IG to be caught up in a public opinion storm.
But IG has not given any response.
Unexpectedly, during the trash talk session, Li Fu's words could be seen as a response to this.
At this time, the director's camera was directed to the front row of the LPL viewing seats.
Xiao Wang, wearing a baseball cap and a low-key outfit, appeared in the director's camera. After hearing this, he immediately pointed at the screen and said to the female internet celebrity who was traveling with him, "Well said!"
Then they clapped their hands.
However, at the same time, this also angered the fans of QG and Uzi who were recently angry about missing out on the Spring Finals.
In the eyes of these fans,
You got the fucking advantage, so just be happy.
Do you dare to talk back after being criticized?
You are so rebellious!
As a result, the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room exploded instantly.
"You can prove yourself by stealing a spot? Are you kidding me?"
"Can't you wait until you win to say this?"
"Haha, because he knows there's no way he can win."
"Let's be honest, if Dade plays in the semifinals, there's no chance that a team like IG will be able to compete in the spring finals."
"But some people just don't know themselves, and think they have come this far only because of their own strength."
“…”
At this moment, fans of QG and Uzi were eager as never before to see IG defeated 3-0 as soon as possible, so that they could immediately ridicule and add insult to injury Li Fu who was "talking wildly" on the stage.
However, Li Fu did not think he was arrogant.
Since you think we are unworthy,
Then isn't it natural for us to prove ourselves with our achievements?
It’s just that many people are used to doing things in secret, and are not used to speaking out as loudly as Li Fu.
At this time, contestants from both sides walked onto the stage from the aisle twice in turn, and then lined up to meet the audience. The host Ren Dong introduced each contestant in his passionate voice.
Suddenly, cheers rang out in the Mercedes-Benz Center.
After everyone finished their introductions, the contestants left the stage and went to the competition seats on both sides to debug their equipment.
The camera on the big screen turned to the commentary booth for today's Spring Finals.
"Hello everyone, welcome to our LPL Spring Finals. I am the commentator Wawa."
"I'm the commentator Miller."
"Hello everyone, I am PDD."
As expected, the commentary for such major events will still be the crosstalk duo Miller and Wawa, with a special guest commentator.
The guest of today's Spring Finals is PDD.
PDD was wearing a formal commentary suit customized for him by the LPL official. With a big belly, he looked quite funny, but it was hard to make people laugh when he was a serious professional commentator.
After the opening, Wawa smiled and said, "Haha, our contestants have just made their pre-match statements. To be honest, this year's statements give people a refreshing feeling."
"Yes." Miller pushed his glasses down and continued with a smile, "The main reason is that our country's history and culture emphasize moderation and restraint, so it's not like other regions, where people are crazy and interesting before the game. However, the two teams in today's Spring Finals gave us very different feelings."
"Yes, especially Fu Ge's words 'I've been studying the opponents of MSI'." Wawa said with a smile, "We were all shocked when we heard it backstage. Are there any LPL players who dare to say such things before the game? It really broadened our horizons."
PDD also chimed in, "I think this is also a kind of determination. If a team wants to win, they must have determination before the game. If they think about what to do if they can't win before the game, then they've already lost before the game even starts."
On the side, Wawa couldn't help but teasingly asked, "So what do you think of IG's chance of winning against RNG today, Mr. PDD?"
PDD paused for two seconds and analyzed seriously, "From the previous match records, RNG has a bigger head-on, but I think since everyone has made it to the finals, it proves that everyone has the strength to compete for the Spring Championship Silver Dragon Cup and is on the same level, so I think... it's a 50-50 chance."
As soon as these words came out, RNG fans at the scene and in the live broadcast room couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're off the mark, how can you predict this with a 50-50 chance?"
"It's so funny. IG has never won against RNG."
"Didn't QG and the fans say that IG's spot was stolen? Then they are really not on the same level as RNG."
"PDD's vision is just like that now, and professional analysis still depends on the commentator."
“…”
The live broadcast room was filled with comments.
Meanwhile, at the Mercedes-Benz Center.
After the coaches on both sides tossed a coin, IG got the right to choose the side for the first game and decisively chose the blue side.
The music on the scene changed rapidly, becoming increasingly high-pitched and intense. The audience suddenly became quiet, and the camera on the big screen shifted from the commentary desk to the contestant seats on both sides.
The first match of LPL Spring Finals IG vs RNG,
Officially launched!
In the audience, Principal Wang took out his mobile phone and posted a Weibo, which once again became a hot topic!
"Brothers, charge! Damn RNG!"
