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

Chapter 43: The Departure Ceremony! The Esports Craze!
After the interview, just as Wang Yao was about to return to the lounge, Sister Tuozi Luo Xin suddenly approached him, smiled, and asked for his contact information.

Accompanying her was Xiran, who had just started her internship in the LPL league.

At this time, Xiran was just a college student at Zhejiang University of Media and Communications, but she had already received an internship offer in the LPL based on her professional skills.

"Hello Wang Yao, could you please provide your contact information? This would make our future work easier and the Q&A process would be faster."

When contestants are interviewed by female hosts, they usually ask and answer each other's questions to avoid not knowing what to say later.

Luo Xin's request for Wang Yao's contact information was normal and reasonable.

Luo Xin blinked her bright eyes and looked at the other person seriously, just like Wang Yao had done earlier.

Hmm... how come he looks more and more handsome?

"Hello Wang Yao, I'm Xi Ran. I might be hosting and interviewing you at your matches in the future, so I'd like to..."

Xi Ran pursed her lips shyly and looked up at Wang Yao with her clear eyes.

Despite her seemingly mature and sophisticated appearance, Xi Ran is actually a naive young girl who is still quite inexperienced in dealing with people.

Compared to Luo Xin's natural and poised demeanor, her movements inevitably appeared somewhat nervous.

Wang Yao nodded and readily gave all his contact information to Luo Xin and Xi Ran.

It has to be said that Xiran, who has not yet graduated from university, looks really young, with a kind of clarity in her eyes that is unique to college students.

Fortunately, Xi Ran is a talented woman. With the support of her knowledge and refined manners, she exudes a very quiet and elegant temperament.

Among the many female hosts in the LPL who are filled with ordinary, gaudy pink, Xi Ran can be considered a rare breath of fresh air.

After waving goodbye to the two beautiful female hosts, Wang Yao returned to the lounge and left the Wukesong Arena with the others.

The EDG team's official bus departed amidst cheers from countless fans, heading towards a nearby hotel.

The next day at noon, when the EDG team returned to the base, after a brief celebration, Abu talked about the S7 departure ceremony that evening.

When the S7 send-off ceremony was mentioned, Wang Yao recalled some information. He remembered that the team uniforms for that year were quite cool, but he forgot what they looked like exactly.

When Wang Yao arrived at the venue with his team that evening, he saw that this year's battle uniforms were based on a black and gold theme.

At first glance, it looks like the uniform of the EDG club.

As evening fell, the starting players from the three teams EDG, RNG, and WE, after being styled by makeup artists, officially arrived at the top of the stage.

Although EDG has not officially confirmed Wang Yao's starting position, he replaced iboy at tonight's send-off ceremony.

According to many EDG fans, Wang Yao has been confirmed as EDG's starting ADC player.

"This S7 jersey... why does it look so familiar?"

Meiko looked at the black and gold jersey she was wearing, and the more she looked at it, the more it resembled her own club's uniform.

"Did the designer steal our team uniform and just change the colors of the RNG logo?"

Mouse muttered something under his breath.

Uzi, wearing a jersey that looked exactly like EDG's team uniform, felt like he'd eaten shit. Losing three games in a row was bad enough...

How come even the S7 World Championship jerseys were designed based on your team's uniform?!
The send-off ceremony didn't last long. After a lot of white smoke billowed out around the stage and confetti rained down from above, the contestants finally relaxed.

Afterwards, the players returned to their respective hotels to rest. Following the LPL region's send-off ceremony, the participating teams from various regions around the world also completed their send-off ceremonies.

The Longzhu LZ team, which won the LCK Summer Championship, has become a top favorite to win this year's World Championship.

Following closely behind is SKT, aiming for a three-peat. This championship team, led by Faker, is determined to establish its four-time dynasty atop the Bird's Nest stadium.

As for LCK's third seed SSG, they are considered underdogs by most people, since Ambition, an older jungler, is unlikely to perform well at the World Championship.

First there's Peanut, the new generation jungle king from his own LCK region, then there's Mlxg, who dominated the LPL, and the experienced Clearlove.

Few people really care how far this team, with its roster in a transitional phase, can go in the S7 World Championship.

Before the final World Championship spot for the LCS region was decided, the LPL region capitalized on the lingering excitement of the Summer Finals to create a surge of esports fever.

News about Wang Yao and EDG's incredible comeback from 0-2 down to win 3-2 is being wildly reposted by countless marketing accounts.

LPL Official Account: "Congratulations to EDG for achieving the first-ever reverse sweep in the LPL Finals! A new milestone for the LPL! Rookie Kshine crowned Summer Finals FMVP!"

Galaxy Esports: "Is this year a breakout year for domestic ADCs? A substitute ADC kicks over the bench and crushes RNG – a scenario that actually played out!"

Breaking news from the league: "Report from the front lines! EDG has yet to reach a contract extension agreement with Kshine. Could the biggest free agent of this winter transfer window have already emerged?!"

Bilibili user "Old Ancestor" comments: "Frame-by-frame analysis of Kshine's pentakill with Twitch: how detailed was his flank, easily dodging RNG's heavy vision defenses!"

……

On various esports forums such as Weibo, Tieba, and Hupu, discussion posts about Wang Yao are constantly being pushed to the top of the trending searches by League of Legends players.

"What do you guys say? This year, EDG has once again qualified for the World Championship as the number one seed, bringing glory to the LPL. It has to be EDG!"

"You think your team, which always finishes in the top eight, can win the championship? You might as well go to a lottery shop and win five million by playing scratch-off tickets. Stop daydreaming."

"Otherwise what? Are you suggesting we rely on that red-hot dog of yours who got beaten to tears by the substitute AD carry?!"

"Here's a joke for you all: a certain AD carry player who earns a multi-million dollar annual salary got crushed three times in a row by a substitute player from EDG who earns only tens of thousands a month."

"Why do you all only focus on the LPL? Doesn't anyone comment on the KPL league? I'm so angry!"

"What is the KPL league? Do they put screen protectors on phones during the matches? Can a Silver II player like me from League of Legends just dominate here?"

"..."

EDG's inspiring esports story of winning three consecutive games has been pushed to the top of traffic by numerous online media outlets, with a flood of information and money exploding along with this real-time hot topic.

Of course, for ordinary League of Legends players, what they care about most is the players' performance.

According to data analysis by professional esports content creators, players discovered that Wang Yao actually achieved perfect hexagonal stats in three do-or-die matches!
Output, team fight participation, survival, economy, hero pool, KDA are basically all maxed out, demonstrating a powerful dominance in the Rift in every game.

The last Chinese AD carry player to deliver such a terrifying performance in the EDG team was a young man who loved beef noodles, named Nabi Henmei... or simply Nami.

Unfortunately, Nami didn't maintain his peak performance for long with EDG. After his divine power was taken away by a mysterious bowl of beef noodles, he has now become just another ordinary person.

Then Deft came to China and helped EDG win the MSI championship, but after Deft left, EDG's dominance in the bot lane vanished instantly.

The emergence of Wang Yao has given many EDG fans hope.

Whether they can perform well in the World Championship this year is another matter. As long as they can beat Uzi, they are a good AD for EDG!
