Chapter 220 Why can’t I be from No. 1 Middle School?
When sixteen teams from major regions gathered in San Francisco, the group stage schedule was soon revealed, which caused a sensation as soon as it was announced.
September 30th.
IG vs. SKT!
Yes, the decisive battle of MSI just ended half a year ago.
No one expected that in this S game, IG and SKT, the two teams in Group B, would be scheduled to play in the opening match of the first day of the group stage.
All of a sudden,
It was as if thunder from heaven had struck fire on the earth.
Even though due to the time difference between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, the opening match of the group stage in San Francisco was actually at 4 a.m. Yanjing time, many LPL fans still excitedly adjusted their alarm clocks immediately after seeing the schedule and prepared to get up early in the morning to watch the game.
Imagine watching an LPL game before getting up for work, that would be a pretty good feeling...
Of course, losing is another matter.
…
San Francisco, SKT training base.
After seeing his first opponent on the schedule, Faker couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a fire burned silently in his heart.
After leaving MSI, every time he thought back to the BO5 in the semi-finals, it was always a thorn in his heart.
Faker feels that IG, or the man from IG, has become the inner demon of his career. If he doesn't get rid of this inner demon, it will be difficult to reach the top.
So this S game,
He just wants to kill the inner demon.
I just didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
When Faker saw that IG, the No. 1 seed of LPL, was in the same group as them, his eyes lit up, as if two flames were burning in them.
“Sang Hyuk.”
Kouma called out "Faker".
The latter turned his head, the fire in his eyes went out, leaving only one sentence.
"I went to training."
Bang touched his head and said with a headache, "There's only half a month left, why did they start training so soon? Can't Sang Hyuk give himself some relaxation?"
In Bang's opinion, it's true that he is a professional player, but being a professional player is just a job. People always have to have some free time of their own. Even lying in bed and daydreaming is better than sitting in front of the computer every day.
"Brother Xianghe, wait for me!" Benji followed closely behind.
Wolf looked left and right as he stuffed a bag of potato chips into his mouth, and put the snacks down awkwardly. He wiped his hands on Bang's waistband, "Well... I'm training too, Junzhi ( Bang), do you want to join us?"
Bang, who was lying on the sofa, waved his hand, "Go ahead, I'll just practice here."
"Ah? Practicing here?" Wolf was stunned.
Bang stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, and said righteously, "Yes, meditation training method, do you want to try it too?"
Hearing this, Coach Kouma's mouth twitched.
"I... forget it. I'll just go with Sang Hyuk and the others."
Wolf gave a dry laugh.
"Boring guy."
Bang muttered something on the sofa.
Immediately, he turned over, picked up the pillow and changed to a more comfortable position.
Kouma didn't force it, but said with a straight face, "Don't forget to give me your meditation...meditation training results at the meeting tonight."
"Don't worry." Bang waved his hand.
…
During the following period of early arrival, all the major teams began to prepare intensively for the upcoming group stage, and time passed quickly without them noticing.
In the blink of an eye, September 30th, the opening day of the group stage finally arrived.
This year, San Francisco's Civic Auditorium was packed.
At the LPL commentary booth, Miller and Guan Zeyuan are responsible for the commentary today.
Miller smiled and greeted the camera, "Hello, audience friends, welcome to the group stage of the 2016 League Finals. In the coming October, from the beginning to the end of the month, we will bring a wonderful e-sports feast to e-sports fans around the world in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and finally Los Angeles!"
"Yes, it's really exciting to think about it."
Guan Zeyuan nodded, then glanced at the group of young men in red clothes approaching from the corner of the stage. He quickly said, "Before today's group stage begins, let's first invite last year's S-League champion, SKT's legendary player Faker, to bring home the World Championship trophy for us."
The next moment, when Faker, wearing a baseball cap, came on stage holding the trophy high, the audience seats around the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Obviously, everyone was playing away from home, but from the moment he stepped onto the stage, this man seemed to have magically turned this place into his home court.
It has to be said that Faker, who debuted as an assassin in S3 and now has two crowns in his hands and is sprinting towards a triple crown, has always been far ahead in terms of fans and popularity around the world.
at this point,
No one else can envy it.
Even if God came, it wouldn’t be enough.
Under the lens of the big screen behind the stage, the director gave Faker a close-up shot. The young man wearing round-frame glasses carefully placed the trophy on the raised trophy stand in front of the stage.
After turning around and taking two steps, Faker glanced back at it inadvertently.
This glance was captured by the director's camera, and the hall of the Municipal Auditorium suddenly erupted with noisy shouts from fans!
"Go Faker!"
"Don't be nostalgic! It's always been yours!"
"Come on! I look forward to the moment when you hold it again!"
“…”
Backstage, IG lounge.
"Are you jealous?"
Seeing Rookie craning his neck to stare at the scene in the live broadcast, Li Fu couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Uh...I'm actually fine." Rookie scratched his head.
"Don't pretend," Ah Xun said, "Someone's eyes are clearly filled with envy."
"Fuck, what's wrong with me being envious?" Rookie was angry, "Who among the mid laners in the world doesn't envy that man?"
"It's okay. You won't have to envy him after this world championship is over." Li Fu suddenly said.
"Ah?" Rookie was stunned.
"When you lift the championship trophy, he'll be envious of you," Li Fu joked. "Didn't you see how he kept looking back when he put it back? After all, one more glance is one less."
"Brother Fu, stop it! We haven't even started the group stage yet, so you can't be so self-helpful." A Xun was shocked when he heard this.
Rookie glanced at the frightened Ah Xun, then at Li Fu who seemed to be smiling, but his heart suddenly calmed down and he nodded seriously at Li Fu.
Because he remembered something.
Earlier this year, less than two weeks into the Spring Split, Li Fu, then a substitute jungler, joked that he could tell fortunes and predicted that Rookie had the potential to be a champion.
Rookie didn't believe it at the time.
But everyone knows what happened later.
They overcame all obstacles and won three championship trophies: the Spring Finals, MSI and Summer Finals, and finally arrived at the highest trophy in the league.
Li Fu also miraculously returned as a veteran, winning various MVPs. Now he is one of the benchmark figures promoted by LPL in this S6 expedition.
The remaining two people are the factory manager and Xiao Gou.
Now, Li Fu says they can win the championship.
Regardless of whether it was a jinx or not, this time, Rookie decided to follow.
Brother Xinfu!
This must be believed!
He looked at the back of the man on the stage wearing the red SKT team uniform, and suddenly an unprecedented ambition arose in his heart!
Why can’t I be from Shi No. 1 Middle School?
