“Sang Hyuk, your brother Yuan’s hands are still empty.”
"You are so ignorant. Do you think milk tea will put a straw on itself and fly into my hand?"
In the EDG lounge, Xu Yuan and Smeb cooperated perfectly, one after the other, and spoke softly.
"...I think I'm the senior, right? You two are almost there."
Li Xianghe's face turned dark.
"Having said that, bro, this is EDG now."
Smeb nodded in agreement, then reminded.
"Yes, this is our territory."
Xu Yuan put his hands in his pockets and smiled evilly.
"I hate this the most. He was like this when he was in SKT before. I told him to stop caring about it. Why don't you learn from the good and learn from the bad?"
Li Xianghe leaned on the sofa, put his hands behind his head and spoke helplessly.
"That's why SKT sold you here."
Xu Yuan replied dimly.
"Ashi..."
Lee Sang Hyuk was numb.
My defense is broken, brother. Your ruthless words are like armor-piercing bullets that instantly penetrate my defense. I am crying bitterly now and hope you can let me go!
"Aren't you nervous at all?"
At the other end of the sofa, Xiaotian took off his shoes and squatted on the sofa, watching the video of the training match.
"We are all old, what is there to be nervous about?"
Xu Yuan spread his hands.
It is now the third day since the match with RW.
Tomorrow is the spring finals against RNG.
It’s strange to say, but the RNG team seems to be really lucky.
Every time you think he has given up, he immediately moves again.
S7 was beaten so badly, but S8 miraculously maintained its competitiveness.
The BO5 between RNG and IG ended with RNG's victory.
You may say RNG is awesome, but the main reason they won was because something happened to the top laner of their opponent IG.
Although Duke, who IG has replaced now, is also capable, they have not had much time to work together, so it is normal that they cannot beat RNG.
Seriously speaking, if Theshy hadn't gotten into trouble, RNG would probably not have been able to send it.
But something happened to Theshy.
I have to say, RNG is really lucky.
"Did you guys watch the video released by the LPL official account yesterday?"
Mingkai was taking a break after getting the takeaway and spoke at this moment.
"Don't say anything too explosive when communicating on the microphone in the future, so that others won't think we are targeting them."
"oh?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Who? We just talked about inheritance or something... Oh, I see, RNG?"
He remembered.
"Yes, many RNG fans are cursing right now, saying that they must make us look good in the finals."
Mingkai shrugged.
There are still die-hard fans of the team.
Even though EDG seems unstoppable right now, the die-hard fans don’t care.
Fan: You! Go and kill EDG for me!
Contestant: Me?
"Is it not allowed to be mentioned after the inheritance? After we win the championship, the blitzkrieg against Poland by the 10,000 pigs can't be written off in the history books, right?"
Xu Yuan stretched lazily with a somewhat contemptuous smile on his face.
"Sometimes I really doubt whether you are a member of our EDG."
Mingkai's face also turned dark.
Why does it feel like Xu Yuan is so merciless when he criticizes EDG?
"It's okay, Brother Kai, do you still remember your Midsummer Night's Dream?"
Mingkai's expression remained calm. "Haha, it's all over. I won't be upset if you say that."
"Tsk, that's boring."
Xu Yuan spoke calmly,
"Since RNG wants to inherit Uzi's S3S4 runner-up title, they can't just abandon SHR's humiliation, right? What's the point of inheriting the honor without the humiliation?"
"You've done it and you're still afraid of what people will say?"
Lee Sang Hyuk pondered: SHR?
Is this the team that gave us the championship in the finals?
It turns out that the current RNG is the former SHR...
"interesting."
He smiled.
"The main reason is that Abu feels that there is no need to bother with them now. They are no longer a team on the same level."
Mingkai lay comfortably.
"There's nothing to say to a club like this that has never won an S-League title."
Although he seemed to be speaking for RNG, his words were a bit too aggressive.
"RNG management is really a bit of a jerk. They have been invited to practice matches after the playoffs, but they didn't accept them once. I'm a bit upset. I don't know what they are pretending to be."
"Let's speedrun them in the finals."
Xu Yuan commented calmly.
"The players are still good. Xiao Ming told me that Uzi also wanted to play with us, but the management did not allow it because of the problem of tactical exposure."
Abu's voice came from behind.
"Are you all here?"
"Hey, is Xiaobu here?"
Abu's mouth twitched, "Yuanzi, be careful with your words. You've been crazy about me these past few days."
"Ok, Brother Boo."
These days Xu Yuan has been seeing people online saying that he is the bully of the EDG team, and he thought...why shouldn't I try to be the bully for real?
Obviously, he is not.
"Get ready, we're about to go out and record a promotional video for the Spring Finals with RNG."
Abu clapped his hands.
"Another promotional video?"
Xu Yuan's face turned bitter.
It's really tiring to shoot that thing, he would rather play a training game.
"Don't think about the scrimmages. There's a game tomorrow. Let's relax today."
Abu saw through his thoughts and explained.
Relaxing a little before a big competition can help you improve your condition, just like a rubber band that is stretched too tight will lose its elasticity.
Several people got on the EDG bus, which had already been started and was about to start.
Xu Yuan felt something was wrong and scratched his head, "Why do I feel like I forgot something?"
Bang bang bang!
The bus door was slammed loudly, and MeiKo outside the door was speechless.
"You don't want assistance anymore!?"
Only then did Xu Yuan realize what he had forgotten.
Meiko just went to the bathroom and was not there when Abu came.
Abu specially counted the number of people and confirmed that there was no problem before starting the bus.
"I can see account cancellations again. Account cancellations are really interesting."
Meiko sat next to Xu Yuan, put away her bag, took out some snacks like a magic trick, and handed them to Xu Yuan skillfully.
"Can the goggles really show our fighting ability?"
Xu Yuan took the snacks skillfully, opened the package, and asked with a smile.
The little tiger in the spring of S8 was really funny, wearing yellow goggles.
Because the sales volume in spring is already quite fierce, the cliché of Spring Tiger Emperor and Summer Tiger Loser is also an old cliché.
So now there is another saying about the goggles being cancelled, saying that he can see other people's fighting power.
However, Xu Yuan thinks that this thing is just for fun. Can Xiao's account be better than Li Xianghe?
Quan Lihe is also at the top of the battle power ranking list of Kangba.
Of course, even if He uses all his strength, he is not invincible. At least he cannot beat Li's father who is wearing a condom.
Just like how a healthy Itachi can't beat Fugaku who is wearing a condom, it's a physiological suppression.
The shooting location was not far away and it was finished after two or three hours.
The RNG players are quite enthusiastic.
Although all teams are competing for the Spring Championship, there are generally no major conflicts between the players.
Over the years of LPL, the only public conflict was the breakup between QG's mid and jungle.
The best marriages are the kind that are kept secret and never made public.
Not to mention the mess between XX and Chris.
After communicating with the contestants, Xu Yuan was quite happy.
Don’t say it, don’t say it!
Letme himself is more interesting than his book.
In his previous life, after Letme chose to return to RNG as a coach in S14, Xu Yuan saw a comment that was difficult to accept:
RNG has a shit [Lin Weixiang] and a turd [Shi Senming] in the bottom lane. If Letme doesn't come, there won't be enough toilet paper.
During the filming, the B-face who was canceling his account looked very funny with a serious expression.
All I can say is that they are all alive.
After the filming, it was almost five or six in the afternoon, so we returned to the base immediately.
After dinner, Xu Yuan went to the rooftop of EDG.
Don't get me wrong, he's not going to be a frequent flyer, he just wants to digest the food after dinner.
But to his surprise, there were other people here today.
The player wearing the EDG team jacket was leaning on the railing, quietly looking at the sunset in the sky.
Behind him, the ID of [Faker] is clearly visible.
"Lee Sang Hyuk?"
Xu Yuan asked doubtfully.
"You don't even want to call me Brother Li?"
Li Xianghe teased without even turning his head.
"We are brothers. You treat me as your elder brother and I treat you as my younger brother. Let's talk about our own affairs."
Xu Yuan walked up, also leaned on the railing, and chuckled.
“You…”
Li Xianghe turned his head to look at him and smiled helplessly.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Ah, wait a minute."
Li Xianghe pushed his glasses and looked quietly at the sunset in the sky.
It was a little after six in the afternoon, and the gorgeous red-purple sunset glow flowed across the sky, reflecting a gorgeous cloud.
The dim sunlight illuminated Xu Yuan's profile.
"What's wrong?"
Noticing Li Xianghe's gaze, Xu Yuan looked back in confusion.
"Head man, I'm watching the sunset."
"oh."
Xu Yuan has become completely numb to the now abstract Lee Sang Hyuk.
"Tell me, why? I can't figure it out."
Lee Sang Hyuk sighed.
"What?"
"How could they give up on me so easily?"
"SKT?"
"Um."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, "This is not your problem."
This is what happens when the palace fighting among high-level officials affects the contestants. For specific cases, please refer to TT's huanfeng.
The management can even directly shelve the players and then comfortably wait for the contract to end before kicking them out.
It’s just that SKT’s management doesn’t dare to treat Lee Sang-hyuk the same way TT treats Huanfeng.
"I know. I'm not stupid."
"But I always think that e-sports should be pure."
Li Xianghe shook his head .
Although he didn't like it, he was clear about it.
“It’s really boring for them to be like this.”
Li Xianghe loosened his wrist.
"I'm very upset."
Xu Yuan knew that he was in a bad mood.
No one would be happy if they were swapped like this. The previous Lee Sang Hyuk just kept it in his heart and didn't want to say it.
Brothers who often win S crowns should know it.
A player who has won several championships was replaced by your team in exchange for the player who was facing you in the newly crowned championship team just because he lost a final.
Who can be happy about this?
Life in EDG is very happy and it is really good.
But because of this, Lee Sang-hyuk felt that the SKT top management had played too urbanely before.
"I won't care too much about these things in the future. I just need to do my best."
After Li Xianghe said this, he said no more.
Hate SKT? He couldn't.
After all, I have been in this club for such a long time.
He will simply choose to focus more on improving himself.
Xu Yuan didn't say anything more.
What happened between Lee Sang Hyuk and SKT is his own business.
“We should be able to win the championship this year, right?”
Just as he was about to go down, Li Xianghe suddenly spoke.
In the sunset, some thin young men were smiling.
"Of course."
The handsome young man looked calm and determined, and nodded slightly without turning his head.
"What are your plans? Or do you plan to stay with EDG?"
Li Xianghe continued to ask.
Xu Yuan looked slightly stunned.
His question really stumped Xu Yuan.
"It's too early to talk about this now. We haven't even won the Spring Championship yet. We have to wait until S8 is over before we can talk about it, right?"
Xu Yuan shook his head.
"If you still want to play for EDG, I will renew my contract."
The young man looked directly at the boy in front of him, his hands in his pockets.
“It’s a pleasure working with you.”
"…What if I leave?"
Li Xianghe spoke calmly.
“Then I will return to LCK.”
"Trustworthy teammates are more important than the club. EDG is great, but if we can't be together again in the future, then that's it."
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment and joked.
"What if I retire like this?"
Li Xianghe laughed, "Are you kidding? How old are you this year?"
"If you really choose to retire, I will feel sorry for you. I will win the championship in S13 and wait for you to come back then."
"Ha...sure."
Xu Yuan said no more and disappeared from the balcony.
Lee Sang-hyeok probably didn't know that he could actually win the championship in S13.
The short break ended just like that.
At noon the next day, EDG completed the assembly and immediately headed to the final spring finals.
There are still a lot of people outside the venue.
After all, both RNG and EDG are veteran teams in LPL. Although RNG and EDG are no longer teams of the same level in terms of honors, it does not prevent them from still having many fans.
The ruthless ones cannot be killed, and the same goes for the royal bastards.
Audiences from all over the country came to the scene with anticipation, just to support their favorite teams.
While the contestants were putting on makeup backstage, the audience finally passed the ticket check and entered the venue one after another.
Chen Dongqing is such a viewer.
He has liked RNG for a long time, a pure old Royal family.
"RNG, RNG, you must win."
"Kill Uzi!"
He muttered to himself and sat down in his seat.
Although he also felt that today's game would probably be difficult.
The dominance EDG has shown this year is truly shocking.
Throughout the regular season, EDG's win rate was 100% in both large and small games, and they never lost a single game.
Such regular season results were only achieved by EDG in S6.
Although the regular season cannot prove anything, it can still show some strength.
Because there are quite a few LPL teams that look strong this year.
RNG, IG, JDG, RW.
Not bad at all.
But EDG just crushed them all.
So Chen Dongqing is very nervous now.
"Dear summoners on the screen and at the scene, welcome to the 2018 League of Legends LPL Spring Finals. We are about to bring you the match between EDG and RNG."
"The team that wins this BO5 will become the champion of this year's LPL Spring Split and will represent LPL in the MSI Mid-Season Invitational!"
"Will today's match be the continuation of EDG's undefeated legend, or will RNG's fighting spirit never give up?"
"Hello everyone, I am today's commentator Miller!"
Following Miller's opening remarks, today's commentators also introduced themselves.
Colonel Guan didn't come this time because he just commented on the semi-final between RNG and IG yesterday and was blasted by Huang Za.
The reason is that after Uzi took out Kaisa, Colonel Guan mentioned:
"Uzi here also took out Kaisa. This time he should be planning to use the new attack speed flow developed by Savior, right?"
Just because of this sentence, the number of comments on Colonel Guan’s Weibo after the game exceeded 5,000.
"Savior is your father?"
"No, how can it be considered that he developed a B-grade piece of equipment?"
"You're trying to flatter your father Yuan in every possible way. Die!"
"Haha, Uzi, you must be going crazy because of Kai'Sa carrying you today, right?"
Huang Za went crazy.
I've been suppressed by Yuan Za for a whole season, it's so uncomfortable.
RNG is not without a chance to win now.
We've almost reached the finals. If you don't support RNG now, when will you support it?
Stop pretending, let’s get real!
Launch a counterattack directly.
Tata opens! Tata opens with a self-drawn hand!
Those who are familiar with Huang Za should know that although Huang Za's output is relatively less when the wind is against him, he usually pretends to be dead or plays the opposite role.
So now that they have jumped out, they are fully prepared.
If we really lose to EDG, we will just pretend to be dead.
Huang Za: I have always been Yuan Za!
Now the spring season is about to end and MSI is about to begin.
People who often hunt royal fish should know that it is almost the third stage now.
Stage 1: Incubation period
Stage 2: Development
Phase 3: Locust plague
Golden rain? Golden wheat fields!
So the current Royal Za's attack power is very strong. Today's commentary directly became Remember Wawa and Miller.
As for Wang Duoduo?
His qualifications are not sufficient , so if Colonel Guan cannot get in, he cannot get in either.
As the picture suddenly appeared on the screen, both the barrage and the audience on the scene were excited.
Here we come!
Smooth and soothing music sounded, and people were hurrying on the busy street.
In the rain that fell like threads, the hooded contestant lowered his head slightly, his features hidden under the hood, with only drops of water flowing down his face.
"Faker, a legend."
A calm and clear voice-over came from RNG mid laner Xiaohu.
In the picture, the hooded contestant took off his hat, revealing a solemn face.
It’s Xiaohu.
"He has created too many miracles and won too many honors. He is one of the strongest midfielders in the world right now."
"Now, he's about to stand across from me."
In the drizzle, Xiaohu gradually started to run with a determined look in his eyes.
“It’s hard to challenge him, but someone has to go.”
"I am that person."
The camera switched, and in the distance in front of Xiaohu, a contestant was quietly holding an umbrella.
Lee Sang-hyuk, wearing the EDG team uniform, held an umbrella in his left hand and looked down at the camera from a condescending angle.
"A lot of people say they want to challenge me, but they don't know that I never remember their names."
"I just want to win the championship, I don't care about anything else."
Li Xianghe calmly looked at the approaching tiger, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"Please welcome the next talented mid laner, Xiaohu. I think that's his name."
There was only confidence and arrogance in his eyes.
"Challenge me, then fall at my feet."
"This is their only destined destination."
"When the waves are gone, I am the only one standing."
The next moment, the rain stopped falling on Xiaohu.
Uzi, wearing the RNG team uniform, held an umbrella to help Xiaohu block the continuous heavy rain, and walked forward with Xiaohu with a calm expression.
The voice-over has turned into an interview with Uzi.
"Savior is very strong, the 17-year-old world championship FMVP."
"He's got almost everything I've ever dreamed of getting."
"I've failed too many times."
“But I think we will win this time.”
“Only by perseverance can one achieve true gold.”
There was undisguised determination in Uzi's voice.
And next to Li Xianghe, Xu Yuan had appeared at some point.
He stood straight, also holding a black umbrella.
At this time, Xu Yuan casually brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.
The handsome young man suddenly raised his eyes.
"There's nothing to say to a player who doesn't have a championship."
"If you think you can do it, then come on."
"Don't let me beat you into retirement."
"I defeated Bang at MSI when I was 17, and then won the championship and FMVP at the World Championship."
"My starting point is the end point you will never reach."
A smile appeared on Xu Yuan's calm face.
Arrogant and wanton.
"Come here, and die."
“Be thankful, Uzi.”
"Many people don't even deserve to die in my hands."
On the RNG side, one player after another gradually walked to Xiaohu and Uzi with umbrellas in hand.
"Even if the wind blows."
Letme's voice rang out.
"The royal family never gives up."
Xiao Ming continued the next sentence in a steady voice.
Spicy hotpot grinned,
"Xiaotian, let me show you who is the best jungler in LPL."
"Mingkai used to be very strong, but forget about you."
On the EDG side, the remaining players gradually gathered together.
"Unwavering commitment."
Smeb is tall and stood next to the double C. There was only determination and confidence in his eyes behind his glasses.
“Without destruction, there is no construction.”
Meiko loosened her wrists, leaned against Xu Yuan, and looked indifferent.
"The factory director has many princes, but I am the successor."
Xiaotian, with a bright smile, responded to Mala Xiangguo's trash talk.
"Old things from the old times should be swept into the trash."
The players on both sides finally stood together.
Under ten umbrellas, they faced each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
And the camera suddenly stopped at this moment.
【Who will win? 】
【I am the master of Central Plains! 】
"Fuck, is Yuanzi actually this handsome?"
In the audience, Ah Shui, who came with imp to watch Xu Yuan's final, couldn't help but sigh.
"I used to be pretty good. If it weren't for that bastard Ga Diwei, I wouldn't have gotten such a bad grade that year."
imp muttered.
Seeing Xu Yuan's high-spirited look, Imp was really a little envious.
Although he is doing well in LGD, for a player who once won the S championship, isn't it a kind of frustration that he can only watch others play in the finals?
"Don't worry about your S game anymore. Get ready to cheer for Yuanzi. It should be the turn of the players to appear on stage soon."
A Shui did not comfort imp because he knew that imp actually had a very strong mentality.
He prefers to carry it himself.
The comments on the barrage were also very crazy at this time.
"I'm Chao, Yuan!"
“Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep! Too aggressive. Love it!”
"Is BYD Tengjing trying to stir up trouble? This interview is so targeted, isn't it? Yuanshen's remarks are a bit explosive."
"So what if it exploded? Does Gou Silin dare to touch Ciyuanza? The super topic has been occupied by others, this rubbish!"
"How dare you! I can't beat Yuan Za, and I can't beat you either. What team are you on, brother?"
"Awesome, Uzi was made into a bean curd by Xu Yuan, and Uzi's fans were made into bean curd by Xu Yuan's fans. Isn't this a case of fans following their idol?"
"Yuanzi, I'm sorry. I'm going to make a mistake with you tonight."
"Oh my god, what a classic gay scene, everyone run!"
At this moment, Yu Shuang, dressed in a white dress, was already standing in the center of the stage.
"Okay, first of all, thank you..."
She first finished reading the announcement with a smile on her face, and then began to introduce the contestants .
"First of all, let us welcome... Royal never give up!"
"RNG! Applause welcome!"
The RNG fans at the scene immediately cheered, and the EDG fans were not silent either, they also cheered very enthusiastically.
After all, they are our opponents in the finals. Disrespecting your opponent is the same as disrespecting yourself.
"Top lane, Letme!"
The toilet paper king wearing an RNG sweatshirt makes his grand appearance!
Although his expression was somewhat serious, he still showed a slight smile.
"Jungler, Mlxg!"
With his hair still a mess and who knows how many days he hadn't washed it, Mala Xiangguo walked onto the stage.
"Mid lane, Xiaohu!"
Xiaohu walked onto the stage with an awkward smile on his face.
Otherwise, why do you say this hanging man is funny?
He is just like the classic standing picture of the five players of FPX, with one of his limbs being uncoordinated when he walks.
He walked onto the stage sideways, which was very abstract.
"AD, U~zi!"
Uzi smiled quite happily.
It’s a good thing to be able to play in the finals.
IG also put a lot of pressure on them.
If Theshy hadn't gone to the hospital and temporarily replaced Duke, RNG wouldn't have dared to say that they could easily beat IG.
"Assist, Ming!"
Xiao Ming smiled shyly as well, trotting onto the stage and waving to the audience.
"Coach, Kezman!"
The last person to be introduced is naturally the S8 RNG head coach, Sun Dayong.
When this player first joined RNG, Huang Za was actually quite unhappy.
To be precise, Uzi's fans are quite unhappy.
Because Sun Dayong once named Uzi in a program and said that he was the cancer of the team, and that his style would affect the development of the team.
Sun Dayong's original words are:
"There's a player who seems to be very obvious like a rock."
“This player is Uzi.”
Sun Dayong is a man who has a good eye for people. RNG has always been the result of Uzi's success and failure.
He is indeed capable. He was supposed to lead EDG after arriving in 2016, but because Abu did a good job, he was placed in the second team EDE.
And this EDE is the IM before it was renamed.
In this year, IM accomplished a feat that has never been accomplished before and will never be repeated:
From the secondary league to the top league, and then from the top league to the world championship.
Legendary triple jump!
And their coach is Sun Dayong.
So there is no need to say more about his abilities.
Now that he has joined RNG, he has become the "Xin Mama and Yong Dad" in the eyes of RNG fans.
[Is there any RNG fan who has forgotten this? Hahahaha]
So here comes the question.
Yong’s father is Sun Dayong, so what about Xin’s mother?
The heart mother naturally refers to the heart.
At this time, Heart was not the head coach, but just a coach, and his responsibilities were similar to those of a certain Asian Games coach.
Oh yes, not the gold medal one, but the bronze medal one.
After RNG’s introduction, it was finally EDG’s turn to play.
"Let's go."
"Walk out, full of vigor and vitality!"
