LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 236 Studying MSI's Rivals!
Although esports gold medals cannot be included in the gold medal rankings, with this gold medal, Tencent Esports will definitely spare no effort in marketing support, and the capital pie of League of Legends will also grow.

Wang Yao will not only gain a lot of popularity and financial returns, but his social image and influence will also be greatly enhanced!

Moreover, if an athlete wins a gold medal at the Asian Games, it's a momentous occasion that brings honor to their family and will be celebrated by everyone in the village.

The leaders back home might even bring banners and take reporters to take photos and publish them in the newspaper. Olympic champions can basically get this kind of treatment in their hometown county.

"Has the list of people been finalized yet?"

Wang Yao continued to ask.

"It hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but you should have a general idea of ​​who will be selected. The selection is mainly based on the results of the Spring Split."

Wang Yao nodded.

If this is the case, then the players from EDG and RNG will be the main participants in this year's Asian Games roster.

The mid laner will definitely be Wang Yao, so the bot lane duo will most likely be Uzi and Shi Senming, since this bot lane pairing is currently the strongest bot lane combination in the entire LPL.

Although iboy and Meiko are not bad, they are still inferior to Uzi and Xiaoming in terms of both skill and popularity.

The only suspense lies in the selection of Ueno.

In the jungle position, the competition between Spicy Pot and Clearlove will be fierce. In the top lane, it's Flandre and Letme. The former has a slightly higher probability of becoming the starting top laner, but it's hard to say exactly.

"So work hard! This is a golden opportunity you can't afford to miss. If you perform well enough, your future is limitless!"

Abu's promise is grand and promising, but it's definitely achievable for Wang Yao. For him right now, winning the Asian Games is indeed essential.

After the two finished their quiet chat, the EDG team left the venue to have dinner. After a satisfying meal, the players returned to their hotel.

Soon, manager Abu announced the upcoming schedule, and the team members would be given a week off.

During this period, the club will help them with their visas, and then they will meet up together and head to Europe to participate in the MSI.

The schedule is very tight, there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, the players on the championship team don't have much personal time. They're either on their way to competitions or preparing for training all year round.

After the schedule was announced, the EDG members scattered like birds and beasts, each making arrangements for their own free time.

As the team leader, Wang Yao received a live broadcast invitation from Riot Games, where he had to go live to announce the upcoming release of the championship skins!
The release date for the championship skins is usually around the Mid-Season Invitational in May or June each year.

Several months ago, Riot Games released some details about the effects of the championship skins, such as the recall animation and the skin style.

In order to promote his champion skin via livestream, Wang Yao had to sacrifice his time with Xi Ran and broadcast the livestream alone at the base.

After explaining the situation to Xi Ran over the phone, Wang Yao sat down in front of the computer, skillfully set up the live streaming software, and then started the live stream.

"Hey guys, I'm back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the viewers who had already received the news of the broadcast and were waiting in the live stream room immediately flooded the screen with comments.

"You dare to come back? What time is it that you're only starting to broadcast now? You're going to broadcast until dawn tonight!"

"Is today a live stream promoting the championship skins? How's the Draven skin? Is it authentic?"

"Bird's Nest residents, assemble!"

"..."

Almost as soon as the broadcast started, a large number of viewers flooded into Wang Yao's live stream room, and the scrolling of the comments was dazzling. Wang Yao smiled and said, "Brothers, I've given up the chance to go out and relax these past few days, and just stayed at the base chatting with you all."

"There's an event tonight, you know what I mean."

At this point, the online viewers responded enthusiastically, clearly knowing what Wang Yao was referring to.

"The streamer's champion skin is about to be released, so we're doing a promotional event now. If you can afford it, please show your support a little. If you can't, helping to promote it is also a good thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the comment section exploded.

"Hehehe! My Draven skin is about to be released? I'm going to use K's championship Draven to dominate the Rift!"

"On behalf of Dorm 211, I, Li Ritian, promise that each of us will buy ten sets of champion skins. Don't ask why, just know that we Bird's Nest people are not short of money!"

"Waaaaah, I miss my invincible S7 EDG! That darn KT team tore apart our best mid and bot lane duo!"

"It doesn't matter. Yao can dominate the mid lane and still win the championship even if there's a dog tied up in the bottom lane."

"..."

Wang Yao chatted and joked with his online viewers until midnight. While chatting, he also played Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) until the early hours of the morning before finally going offline to rest.

Regardless of how well the champion skins sell, Wang Yao has already done his best to promote them.

It's hard to say how well the EDG championship series skins will sell, since no one can predict the sales popularity of the LPL region's first S-series championship.

However, Wang Yao conservatively estimates that he will definitely earn several million yuan from the championship skin revenue share. Whether he can break through ten million yuan depends on how much support the League of Legends players in China provide.

The sales of LPL's first S-series championship skins mainly relied on the domestic player market.

After all, the LPL region has not yet produced a top player like Lee Sang-hyeok, who has global influence, a three-time world champion, and is the focus of global attention.

Although Wang Yao delivered an amazing performance of "double axe killing the god" in the finals, his international fame is still far behind Faker's.

To catch up, we need to participate in more international competitions, win more championships, and boost our popularity.

Lee Sang-hyeok also started from Season 3 and gradually built his reputation by winning championships. With three championship trophies in hand, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one player in LOL today.

A few days later, EDG manager Abu had already processed the players' visas, and Xiran would be going to the MSI league venue as an official LPL host.

So Wang Yao and Xi Ran went ahead and flew to Europe ahead of time.

This year's MSI was held primarily in two countries.

The qualifying and group stages are held in Berlin, Germany, while the knockout stage takes place in neighboring Paris, France.

The time left for Wang Yao and Xi Ran to go on their date was just right. The MSI qualifying rounds started on May 3, and the group stage started on May 8.

Wang Yao can only spare three days to relax with Xi Ran at most; the rest of the time is spent preparing for training matches with his teammates.

Sweet times always pass quickly. After the EDG team members arrived at their hotel in Berlin, Wang Yao also rejoined the team with them.

After everyone had rested in their respective rooms, Coach Maokai posted a message in the training group chat to gather in the conference room.

Next, they will begin to study MSI's competitors!
