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

Chapter 449: Retaining the S8 Title! A Dual-Position FMVP Player!

The words fell.

In the players' room, the EDG players had already received a reminder from the referee behind them.

"Oh right, let's shake hands first, shake hands!"

Abu immediately realized what was happening, his excitement still evident: "We'll wait for you here, shake hands, and then go raise a toast together!"

Zhu Kai waved his hand with a smile: "Go ahead, go ahead, hurry up."

Upon hearing this, the EDG players exchanged glances, composed themselves, and headed towards the outdoor area for the players.

As soon as I left the house.

The overwhelming, fiery atmosphere ahead completely engulfed them!

"Brother Yao!! Invincible!!"

"Holy Gun Bro! He's too strong!!"

"Xiao Tian! Full marks today!!"

"Meiko! I love you!!"

"Big Fish Head! Well done!!"

The audience in the front row, in particular, were shouting Wang Yao's name and others until their voices were hoarse!

Wang Yao and his group could only walk forward, waving and nodding with smiles.

Soon, after walking a short distance, the group stopped in front of IG's players' room and looked at each other in bewilderment.

As the saying goes, if some people are happy, others will naturally be sad.

The moment EDG ascended the S8 championship throne and became the brightest and most watched star in the world.

On the other hand, IG was undoubtedly covered in a layer of dust.

Just like the LCK fans at the scene, while fans from other regions were celebrating, they only felt more upset!
Even before the match was over, many LCK viewers couldn't stand it anymore and left.

It's all internal battles between LPL teams, what's the point of watching this!
However, while the audience could leave, the IG players could not; they had to wait until after the handshake was over.

Inside the contestants' room.

Song Yijin's eyes reddened, and he broke down in tears.

The others also looked quite downcast.

For these "older" players, missing this opportunity might mean they'll never have another chance.

Of course, the atmosphere at this moment was not as heavy as one might have imagined.

After all, it's a 3-0 score.

Moreover, they dominated every game by a large margin, sweeping all the way through!
Such a stark contrast in results speaks volumes.

There is an insurmountable gap in hard power between the two sides!

In short: They really did their best, but they just couldn't win!

All year long, no team has been able to snatch any championship from EDG.

Their failure this time is, in a sense, understandable.

In short, when the EDG team came in, the entire IG team had already stood up.

Despite his pale face, he managed to complete the handshake process successfully.

"We can see that this result is still a pity for IG, especially for Rookie, TheShy, and Ning. This should be the closest they have ever come to winning the World Championship."

Wang Jide's voice was still ringing out from the commentary booth:
"But there's nothing we can do about it. There can only be one championship trophy. For every winner, there is bound to be a loser. This path will always be filled with all sorts of regrets."

"In conclusion, let's all give them a round of applause! And thank you to IG for bringing us such a wonderful three matches!"

As soon as he finished speaking, applause erupted from the audience, who were clearly very supportive.

Soon, the EDG players, having finished shaking hands, walked out of the players' room and headed towards the main stage!

There, a podium has already been erected.

Above that, quietly sits a trophy that is enough to captivate the hearts of countless professional League of Legends players around the world!
The Summoner's Trophy, a symbol of World Championship status!

"Yes, glory belongs to the winner after all!!"

At the same time, Guan Zeyuan's voice became excited again: "EDG! They are about to lift the trophy that they placed there with their own hands just a few hours ago!!"

"Now, it's time to bring it back to the LPL!! Go, EDG!! Tonight, all the glory will belong to you!!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a new background music theme song began to play in the stadium!

It's like celebrating EDG's return to the throne!

"EDG!! EDG!!"

"EDG!! EDG!!"

In the stands, countless spectators erupted in what could only be described as a frenzied cheer!
Center of the stage.

EDG's players, coaches, and staff were all lined up, standing around the trophy.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!!"

"Raise the trophy! A new legend has emerged, a new dynasty has been born! Remember the name of this era—EDG!!!"

Bang bang - bang bang -

White fireworks rose from both sides of the stage.

Under the intense gaze of countless people, several young men in black exerted force and lifted the silver trophy high!
A moment!

Countless golden raindrops fell from the sky!

Under the spotlights of various colors, the entire stage was dazzling and mesmerizing!

Another year, golden rain and silver flowers!

However, last year, the rain fell in the Bird's Nest.

This year, it fell in Incheon!
Click——

Ahead, countless cameras recorded this scene.

A classic scene has been created once again!

Perhaps it won't be long, maybe even tonight, before this photo becomes the new background for the League of Legends client!
“Wuhu!!”

"What does it mean to have the highest quality of an all-Chinese team?!"

“EDG!!! Awesome!!!”

"We are champions!! We are still champions!!"

“Grand Slam Double Champion!!!”

The entire venue was practically in an uproar!
The enthusiastic sounds surged like a tsunami, continuously rising higher and higher!

Seeing this, the official commentators from other competition regions were filled with emotion and sighs.

"Yes, we can see that EDG has lifted their Summoner's Cup!"

"And this trophy was placed here by them just a few hours ago; now, it's returned to its rightful owner!"

"They established an undisputed super-dynasty!"

on the stage.

After the first round of trophy-raising, all the staff members stepped forward to raise the trophy for the second time!

And this is not over yet!

Offstage, many spectators were chanting, "K-God!! Kshine, lift the trophy!!"

"King K lifts the trophy again!!"

“Hold the cup, hold the cup!!”

no way.

After all, it was Wang Yao who placed the trophy here first.

It's perfectly reasonable to let him carry it all on his own now.

This can be considered a special treatment for the core champion players.

"Brother Yao, hurry up, hurry up! You can't handle carrying this, can you?"

Beside her, Meiko looked on with a teasing expression.

Wang Yao rolled his eyes but didn't say anything. He simply stepped forward in response to the audience's cheers and, all by himself, once again lifted the trophy!

“Ohhhhhhh!!!”

Immediately, another round of screams and cheers erupted from the audience!

Meanwhile, the three official commentators in the commentary booth exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

I remember he even said, "Yes, you can always trust the ID Kshine. As long as he's there, we'll never worry about EDG's matches!"

Just as the entire venue was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

A figure dressed in a dark red suit quietly walked onto the stage.

That person was none other than the Roaring Emperor!
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he once again unleashed his signature tenor roar: "Let's congratulate EDG!!!"

You can see that the corners of his eyes are still a little red.

This year's crushing defeat in the LCK was ultimately a huge blow to Roaring Emperor.

Incheon has become an internal battle for LPL teams, which is somewhat hard to accept.

But as a highly professional host, he had to be alert and in top form to complete the final steps!

Once all the attention in the room was drawn.

The Roaring Emperor raised the microphone again: "Congratulations again to EDG!! They defeated IG and, with absolute strength, became the champions of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship!!"

At this point, the Roaring Emperor raised his voice again: "The king on the throne has not stepped down! He is still maintaining his rule!"

"After a year, they have once again lifted the Summoner's Cup!"

"Let's give another round of applause to this year's champions, to EDG!!"

A thunderous applause erupted from the audience!
Countless light sticks were waved wildly!
"Now, let's do some interviews." The Roaring Emperor stepped forward: "Having won the championship again, I'm sure the players have a lot to say..."

The Roaring Emperor's gaze swept over the EDG players, but finally settled on Flandre first.

"So, let's ask Flandre first, how do you feel about winning your first championship?"

As he spoke, the Roaring Emperor handed over the microphone.

"Forehead……"

Saint Gun held the microphone with both hands, looking somewhat lost, as if he hadn't quite organized his thoughts yet, and his speech was fragmented:

"I... I still want to thank my teammates first. Without them, I might still be the same as before, and I will never be able to achieve this result."

"In short, I want to thank my teammates, the club, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Thank you!"

"Ok."

As the Roaring Emperor listened, his expression was also somewhat wistful: "It's clear that Flandre is very emotional."

"From the level of the league playoffs to winning the championship, only he himself can truly understand the difficulties he has gone through."

Off the field, many fans spontaneously chanted, "Holy Gun, you're the best!"

"You deserve this championship!!"

"The best domestic top laner!!"

……

"Now, let's interview the next one!"

The Roaring Emperor composed himself and turned his gaze back to another figure.

Yes, Wang Yao!

If you were to ask which player in the EDG team is the most popular in the LCK, you would say...

The Roaring Emperor can answer with certainty that it is definitely the guy standing in front of him who looks more like a star than a professional player!

To be precise, it's not just in LCK.

It's the most popular in the whole world!
Thinking of this, the Roaring Emperor first turned around, looked at the audience and the camera, and took a deep breath:

"Two years! He played in two different positions and delivered incredible, flawless performances, helping his team win the championship!!"

"This sounds like a joke, but now it's really happening right in front of us."

The words are not finished yet.

Offstage, all the spectators had already shouted out that ID!

"Kshine!!!"

Regardless of which region they came from, they were all shouting for the same person!

The Roaring Emperor waved his hand and exclaimed, "Yes! Kshine!"

As he called out, he turned to look at Wang Yao and said with a smile, "Come on, let's ask the first question."

"What prompted you to switch positions and continue playing after winning the championship?"

This is a question that countless people have asked throughout the past year.

But this is the first time he has answered this question in front of a global audience.

Wang Yao took the microphone, thought about it carefully, and said, "Because the version has changed, I think the mid-lane can win the game better."

These words are simple and unadorned, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with them.

But... I just don't understand!

The game version has changed, mid lane is easier to win with, so people are going to play mid lane now?!

If the next version changes this so that the jungler role is easier to win, wouldn't everyone still want to play jungler?

Is this even human language?!
But Wang Yao did exactly that, and it worked, leaving people speechless and unable to find anything to criticize.

Maybe that's just how capricious champions are.

Before the audience could recover from this emotional outburst, the Roaring Emperor continued to ask questions:
"Having won your second championship, I'm sure Kshine has a lot to say to the audience right now. Why don't you share it?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao looked at the audience in front of him and smiled: "I said that EDG would defend its championship title. I hope we didn't disappoint you today?"

“Ohhhhhhh!!!”

The reaction was immediately incredibly strong!
Some of the guys in the front row even put their hands to their mouths like megaphones and shouted at the top of their lungs, "No!!!"

On the stage.

Wang Yao looked at the Roaring Emperor, shrugged, and said, "That's all I wanted to say."

There's really no need to say anything else.

This one sentence is far more effective than a thousand words!

"Well... alright then." Roaring Emperor nodded reluctantly before turning his gaze to the rest of EDG.

What follows is naturally a complete interview and response process.

Apart from Wang Yao, every other EDG player gave a fairly long answer.

Especially Xiaotian, who won the championship on his first appearance on the S-series stage, his excitement was beyond words.

"Ok!"

At this moment, the interview finally ended, and the Roaring Emperor turned around with the microphone in hand, shouting loudly:
"So, let's congratulate EDG once again for winning the 2018 League of Legends World Championship!!"

"Now, please welcome Mr. Tryndamere, President of Riot Games, the Head of League of Legends Asia, the Head of the League of Legends LCK Region... to the stage to present the award to our champion!!"

At this point, the background music in the venue changed again, from rousing to solemn.

To the sound of music, several bigwigs solemnly took to the stage!
As always, each leader was followed by a formally dressed female staff member, carrying a wooden tray.

On top of each tray was a golden medal, attracting the attention of countless people!
That is the glory of the champion!

The Summoner's Trophy must be returned every year.

However, these medals, which bear the players' IDs, belong directly to the players themselves!

Soon, the awards ceremony began.

The Roaring Emperor, holding the microphone, declared: "This is a glory that belongs only to the champions! EDG! They have left their mark on this stage!"

"From now on, when people mention Incheon, they will think of this legendary team!!"

Come on, let's witness this moment together!

While talking.

Each leader walked up to the corresponding EDG member, smiled, and took out the medal from the tray.

The coach is also involved in this!
The EDG players lowered their heads, allowing the big shot in front of them to hang the medals around their necks.

I don't know if it was fate or a deliberate arrangement by the authorities.

This time, the award was presented to Wang Yao by Tryndamere, the very same Tryndamere who inspired the Barbarian King!

"Kshine, we meet again."

Tryndamere stood opposite Wang Yao with a smile on his face.

"Yes, it's been a long time."

Wang Yao nodded politely: "Thank you for presenting me with this award."

"It's what I should do, isn't it?"

Tryndamere shrugged and continued laughing:
"To be honest, Wang Yao, your performance this year has greatly shocked me. I never dared to imagine that a player could win the championship in both positions."

As he spoke, he added a joke: "It's a pity that I didn't get to see your Barbarian King make an appearance."

To be fair, Tryndamere isn't a champion that can't be played in the mid lane!
Wang Yao's lips twitched slightly: "There will be other opportunities in the future."

"In short, congratulations Kshine, and I hope to see even better performances from you in the future."

"Thank you."

After saying his last words, Tryndamere looked at Wang Yao with a complicated expression.

no way.

Personally, he certainly admires Wang Yao, this kind of 'god-like' person.

The visually striking and violent fighting style, along with the various adrenaline-pumping maneuvers, will leave the audience thoroughly entertained.

However, from the perspective of Riot Games as a whole...

Teams like Wang Yao, or EDG, are not what they actually want to see.

The reason is simple: a competitive environment dominated by a single entity is far too destructive to the entire league ecosystem!

Riot Games absolutely does not want to see any team defend their title.

This is why, almost every year, the signature heroes and strategies of the championship-winning teams are nerfed in the following season!

EDG is a typical example.

Almost all the heroes they played last year have been nerfed!
And this will definitely happen again this year!
But that's a story for another time.

"Finally, please look ahead and let our media friends record this scene and preserve it forever!"

As the Roaring Emperor's voice fell.

On the stage, the EDG team members and a group of big names all stood in their respective positions, looking ahead.

Click - click -

Countless flashes went off as media from all over the world frantically pressed their shutters!

Combined with the golden rain falling all over the ground and the effect of the spotlight, this scene was made incredibly dazzling!
……

moment.

With the bigwigs gone, the Roaring Emperor turned around and began the next step of the process.

The Roaring Emperor looked down meaningfully, his voice trailing off:

"Now, next up is the part everyone's been waiting for. That's right, we're about to present the FMVP of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship."

The words are not finished yet.

A wave of cheers has already begun to rise from the stands!
"Kshine!!!"

"King K! King K!!"

"Wang Yao! Wang Yao!!"

On the stage.

"I go……"

Meiko gasped slightly at the sight: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Saint Gun Bro, who had recovered, chimed in, "This is fucking amazing, this is Old Wang's popularity level."

"Good guy..."

Xiao Tian's eye twitched.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense.

EDG is indeed a team full of top players.

Whether it's top laner Flandre, jungler Tian, ​​or even their bot lane duo, they are all pretty carry-oriented.

But there's no way to stop it, EDG's mid laner is a god!

"Yes!!"

Just as the EDG players were lost in thought, the Roaring Emperor roared again, waving his hand and increasing the intensity of his voice:

"The player who won this year's FMVP trophy is none other than Kshine!!"

The words fell.

The entire scene fell silent at first, and then suddenly erupted into a cacophony of noise!
"Aaaaaaah, K-God!!"

"Double FMVP!!!"

Wang Yao's photo was already displayed on the large screen behind them.

Dressed in all black, with bright and dazzling eyes, he made countless young women at the scene call him "husband".

Even some female fans from LCK were instantly won over, constantly shouting things like "Oppa is so handsome!" It was quite a spectacle.
