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

Chapter 450 Unprecedented! The whole internet is in an uproar! EDG is awesome!
FMVP.

The highest honor a professional player can achieve.

Wang Yao, on the other hand, won two FMVP awards in two consecutive years!

Unprecedented, making history!
What's even more outrageous is that these were even won in two different positions!
In a sense, it is somewhat beyond the comprehension of normal humans.

If Riot Games had a choice, they would never have awarded the Finals MVP award to Wang Yao again.

But unfortunately, they had no choice!
Wang Yao's performance in this S-series tournament was simply phenomenal!

While the performances of the other characters were strong, they were at least somewhat understandable. But Wang Yao gave off only one impression—he was a human cheat code!
If Wang Yao isn't given this award, the audience will probably accuse him of cheating.

In short, at this moment, the chat in the official live stream room completely exploded.

"Brother Yao! Awesome!"

"Li Guapi has never won two FMVP awards!"

"Wow, this time, Yao is really on par with Faker."

"Too fierce, too fierce, FMVP with no suspense at all!"

"..."

Even the three official commentators on the LPL's second-tier commentary team, who were watching the ceremony, were filled with emotion.

Guan Zeyuan clicked his tongue: "I think that was expected."

Wang Duoduo was more talkative: "Actually, I've been paying attention to Kshine's performance since the summer finals last year."

"It's really hard to imagine that a rookie player who has just stepped onto the LPL stage could deliver such an amazing performance!"

"His first appearance on stage was already his peak!"

"Looking back, I'm still on the mountaintop!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chat in the live stream became even more dense!

Of course, it wasn't just them.

The live stream rooms of the main streamers on major domestic live streaming platforms were already buzzing with excitement!

On the stage.

The ceremony is still ongoing.

Tryndamere, who had just left with a group of big shots, has now returned to the stage, bringing a new trophy.

It was a blue crystal trophy, edged with gold, and looked magnificent.

"Now, it belongs to you."

Tryndamere smiled and handed over the trophy with both hands.

Wang Yao quickly reached out and caught it, feeling its heavy weight, and said sincerely again, "Thank you."

Wait until Tryndamere leaves.

From behind, the Roaring Emperor shouted, "Come on! Lift it up!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao took a deep breath, slowly and forcefully lifted the trophy, allowing it to rise into the air and be better captured by the countless cameras around him.

Finally, the trophy reached the highest position.

Under the spotlights, it radiates dazzling brilliance.

At the same time, thunderous cheers erupted from the audience!

"Kshine! Kshine!!!"

"Kshine!!Kshine!!"

This is not only recognition of the FMVP, but also recognition of Wang Yao himself!
At this moment, even Wang Yao, with his usually calm demeanor, felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him!

In a sense, holding the FMVP trophy at this moment, he is the world's number one player! Without a doubt!

There is no greater personal honor than this.

moment.

After Wang Yao put down the trophy, the Roaring Emperor stepped forward with a smile and asked, "How do you feel about winning FMVP again?"

Wang Yao answered without hesitation, "I'm very happy!"

He added afterward, "Thank you all for your recognition."

Offstage, many spectators wore kind smiles.

The Roaring Emperor paused, then continued jokingly:

"Having won two FMVP awards, you've reached a height that countless professional players can only dream of, and you might even be considered the best player in the league. Do you have anything to say about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, even the audience, which had been buzzing with excitement just moments before, fell into a quiet silence.

Unfortunately, this issue is somewhat sensitive.

There is only one universally acknowledged number one player in the league – Faker!

Even Bengi, who are also triple crown winners, are completely incomparable in this respect!

In the past, if someone had asked this question, they would probably have been bombarded with criticism by countless viewers.

But now.

First, Wang Yao does only have two championships so far, but don't forget that it's only been a year and a half since he officially stepped onto the LPL stage!
Secondly, although EDG only has two championships, they also achieved an unprecedented Grand Slam this year!

Third, given Wang Yao's outrageous form, who knows how many more championships he will win!
In short, even fans who have always been staunch supporters of Faker dare not say for sure whether the person on stage can surpass Faker.

"I think it doesn't count now."

In the midst of this silence, Wang Yao's calm voice rang out:
"Although I'm happy to have won two Finals MVPs, I only have two championships after all. I can't bear the title of the best player in the league yet."

At this point, Wang Yao looked towards the audience: "However, I will work hard for it, so please stay tuned!"

The words fell.

Many of the men in the audience got excited.

"I believe in you!! Kshine!!"

With a three-time world champion like Faker already on the team, is there any other option besides continuing to win championships to become the best player in the league?

In other words, Wang Yao is determined to continue his pursuit of the championship!
If someone else had said that, they would have just laughed it off.

But since his debut, Wang Yao has fulfilled every promise he made!
"Wow, we can all see that Kshine is very confident!"

The Roaring Emperor shrugged and then continued, "Now, please return to your seats, and please have the staff of EDG Club come up on stage so we can all take a group photo."

Clearly, this is the final step.

As Abu and his entourage excitedly took their places on stage, countless cameras were already in place ahead of them.

in the crowd.

Wang Yao was forced to sit in the center of the front row, holding the FMVP trophy in one hand and the Summoner's trophy in the other, along with everyone else.

It stood out conspicuously.

"Congratulations once again to EDG for becoming the champion of this year's S8 World Championship and successfully defending their title!"

As the Roaring Emperor's voice rang out, countless cameras locked onto the scene, capturing it and freezing it in time!

"Then, I declare that the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals has officially come to an end!!"

The Roaring Emperor waved his hands and shouted, "Everyone, let's see you next year, at S9!!"

……

Meanwhile in Incheon, as the awards ceremony was drawing to a close...

Domestic reality.

Countless places have already become completely noisy!

Or rather, the moment EDG won the championship and the score was confirmed at 3-0, the whole country was like a pot of boiling porridge!
Universities, internet cafes, and public squares—places with high population density—all reacted quite strongly!
"Thank goodness, they gave us advance notice!"

An official couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

If we hadn't prepared in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

As early as after the second game, the league director on the scene had already contacted domestic officials.

Before, many officials felt that this was a bit of a fuss.

But now, looking at the frenzied scene across the country, many high-ranking officials are secretly relieved that they made preparations in advance.

Even some leaders couldn't help but complain: "Why does it look like the national football team won the championship?"

For the older generation who have no idea about e-sports, only the Chinese national football team winning the championship can have such an exaggerated and sensational impact.

A certain university.

The moment EDG won the championship.

“EDG is awesome!!!”

A nearly broken voice of excitement rang out from a boys' dormitory.

As if it were a signal, countless shouts immediately followed from each dormitory room!

"Awesome!! EDG is awesome!"

"Wuhu!! EDG!!"

"Second championship!! EDG is awesome!!!"

The once peaceful dormitory instantly erupted into chaos!
Of course, it's not just this one dormitory building.

All other buildings on campus, from the library to the cafeteria, and even the teaching buildings and office buildings!

Various clamorous sounds rose into the sky!

Many school leaders were taken aback, exclaiming in surprise, just like the dormitory supervisor: "Again?!"

Moreover, compared to last year, this year's momentum seems to be even more exaggerated!
no way.

Last year was the first time, and none of us had experienced it before.

Moreover, the influence of the league was not as great back then as it is now, so although the reaction was intense, it was still within everyone's understanding.

But this year is truly different!
After a year of development, from winning the championship at the Bird's Nest to winning gold at the Asian Games, and now, EDG has won the championship at Incheon Munhak Stadium, a landmark building in South Korea, the home of LCK!

It's safe to say that the related buzz in China has already skyrocketed several times over! The impact it has generated is now terrifyingly large!
On the other side, in an internet cafe.

In an instant, countless people jumped up from their seats, their faces filled with excitement, gesturing wildly.

"Win, win, ahhhhhhh!!!"

"EDG!! Invincible!!!"

"Three to zero!! Hahahahaha!"

"I feel comfortable. It's great to win the championship at home in South Korea!"

One generous guy even waved his hand and shouted, "Internet cafe manager! Bring everyone a Coke! It's on me!"

However, instead of a reply from the internet cafe manager, the voice coming from the counter was that of the internet cafe owner, who was very excited:

"It's on me! It should be on me! Tonight, it's free all night! Plus free drinks and snacks!!"

Turning back, the boss was still excitedly heading towards the network pipe:
"Xiao Li, where's the banner I prepared? Hurry up and hang it up!"

"Yes, boss!"

The network administrator was also quite excited.

As for the content of the banner...

Naturally, it's to celebrate EDG's victory and also to give their own internet cafe a little free advertising.

In fact, this is just a fairly routine procedure.

Even before the match was over, many far-sighted internet cafe owners had already put up signs and banners related to EDG.

It's nothing more than things like "EDG will win! Incheon civil war, crush LCK!" or "Let's watch the game together. If we can't go to the venue, we'll watch it at an internet cafe with our brothers!"

And you know what? It works amazingly well!

And that's not all!

Or rather, it's just the tip of the iceberg of the nationwide carnival phenomenon!
Even these are considered normal behaviors; as for those that are not normal...

Perhaps tomorrow morning, there will be a lot of related news online.

Articles like "Why is a man running naked in the middle of the night?", "A man jumped into a river in a certain place. After questioning, it was found that he was celebrating XX's championship", and "A college student jumped from the second floor. He later said that it was not intentional, but that he was too excited and lost his balance."

In comparison, things like shaving heads, boys wearing skirts, and washing hair upside down are child's play.

Or rather, it is precisely because of these phenomena that the authorities need to make preparations in advance.

Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, it will be a real problem!

In contrast to the widespread celebrations in reality.

The internet is just like it was last year—settlingly calm!
No other reason than that it collapsed.

From Baidu Tieba to Weibo, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Douyin, Hupu, Zhihu and other major social media platforms, everything has come to a standstill!
Even QQ chat groups experienced network fluctuations and message loss!
Various family and friends groups, classmate groups, game groups, reader groups, etc., are all experiencing severe lag, with message refresh delays of at least several minutes!

It can be said that at this time, the entire country was almost completely without internet access!
These software programs always display the same message when you open them: "Your network connection seems to be experiencing some problems. Please try again later!"
This prompted many people to directly curse: "Damn it! What are these big companies doing?! They make so much money every year, but they all collapse when it really matters!"

And to this.

The people in charge behind these well-known platforms could only sigh helplessly.

Was it because they weren't prepared?

of course not!

After what happened last year, if we don't prepare properly, aren't we just asking for trouble?
In fact, they have already made their best efforts, and the traffic that the servers can handle is more than double that of last year!
But this year's traffic is just ridiculously high!

Double the amount? Even triple the amount might not be enough!
With no other option, each platform had to once again urgently summon programmers within the company to repair the servers.

In response, they offered a very high amount of overtime pay.

This greatly boosted the enthusiasm of the programmers who were originally full of complaints and had thinning hair!
There's no other way; we have to race against time!
At times like these, whoever gets things right first will definitely capture the lion's share of the traffic!

Of course, this incident itself became quite a shocking news story.

You know, even winning the S7 World Championship at the Bird's Nest last year wasn't this exaggerated!

At that time, although major platforms also crashed, at least software like Tencent and WeChat could still be used throughout the entire process.

This time, however, it was a complete collapse!

EDG's influence has exceeded countless people's expectations!

This has left many people outside the circle deeply shocked and...wailing!
"No way, you guys won the championship, but why can't I go online?!"

"Jingle Bell--"

The urgent ringing of the telephone echoed through the night sky.

The bosses behind the major platforms were all jolted awake by a phone call from their subordinates, their faces filled with confusion.

Of course, this time they were more experienced, and their tone was much more composed than last year.

"Cracked again?"

"Is it still about that League of Legends tournament, where EDG won the championship?"

"Okay, got it. Get it fixed quickly... It's already being fixed? Then hurry up, I'll be at the company right away!"

"EDG, right? Okay, you continue to arrange for people to repair the server. I'll make a phone call and ask about the situation."

"..."

Last year, the S7 tournament drew the attention of countless investors to the emerging field of esports.

It's fair to say that some people had already started entering the market at that time.

However, overall, the number of people entering the market is definitely still a minority compared to the entire capital market.

But this year is different!

Several times the traffic of last year!

This is damn appealing, isn't it?! It's way better than anything in the entertainment industry!

After making immediate arrangements for their respective companies, these industry leaders tacitly turned their attention to the key target behind all of this—EDG!

Of course, it's not just within the industry.

Companies outside the industry are even more eager and hungry!
Mercedes-Benz, Tomahawk, Yili, Mengniu, and a whole bunch of unrelated brands are already sharpening their knives!

As mentioned before, isn't this kind of online traffic even more appealing than some celebrities?

"EDG! Yes, contact EDG! Tell them we need a spokesperson, and they'll pay the endorsement fee! As long as it's not too outrageous, just agree!"

"Find the one who's getting the most attention! What's his name again? Oh, Wang Yao, let's find him! The plan to invite that A-list celebrity Xiao Z is off!"

"Fortunately, we found them as an endorsement last year. Oh yes, please contact us quickly and renew the contract first!"

"Speaking of which... how about we try entering the esports industry this year?"

"Go and contact Wang Yao to see if he's interested in joining the new team. If he's willing to come, the team will be built around him!"

"..."

Clearly, tonight is destined to be no ordinary night.

It wasn't just ordinary viewers who were having a blast; the atmosphere was electric.

The owners of these major brands are also extremely busy!
And that doesn't even include the domestic and international league clubs that have already entered the fray!

They were the ones who were truly prepared to poach talent by waving money around!

After losing to EDG in the semifinals this year, G2's desire for Wang Yao has become even stronger.

If you can't beat them, join them?

No!

If you can't beat them, just poach their big brother!

……

Amidst this clamor...

The servers on all the major platforms were finally repaired one by one amidst the clamor of countless viewers.

The first thing everyone did was flock to Weibo.

#EDG wins Incheon#
When they saw the top trending topic, no one was surprised at all.

Not surprising at all.

Honestly, it would be absurd if any trending topic could overshadow this one at this point!
However, as everyone continued scanning downwards, they couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation.

Second on the trending topics list, third, fourth, fifth...

Okay, it's another complete domination of the trending topics; you can't even see any other trending searches!
But when everyone looked back at the first point, they discovered an even more terrifying detail.

That is, the hype that follows!
The deep red lettering immediately caught everyone's eye—1 million!
"Wow!!"

The moment they saw this number, countless people widened their eyes, feeling a chill run down their spines!
This is not over yet.

Some people only blinked and then noticed that the number had jumped up again, becoming 1.1 million!

As one active professional player put it: "Arema! What kind of monster is this?!"

This is destined to be a record-breaking data point on Weibo!

1.1 million is certainly not the limit for Weibo.

But damn, this trending topic has only been up there for a short time!

Moreover, the rate of increase is unprecedented!

Breaking the record is almost a certainty!

Meanwhile, EDG eSports Club's official Weibo account also posted an official message.

#S8WorldChampionship#
#EDG3:0IG#
#EDG wins Incheon#
Congratulations to EDG!

The first thing that came up was a series of trending search terms.

The real main text begins at the end.

"In the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, an all-Incheon battle, EDG defeated LPL's second seed IG 3-0 to win the championship! Successfully defending their title!! (Yay!)"
