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

Chapter 650 Kids! I'm back! Skin selection! Post-match premiere!

The words fell.

"WOW! Wow ...

“Invincible! Invincible!!”

Countless viewers became excited at this moment.

Ren Dong smiled and said, "You really did it, and you did it better than ever before!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the audience and said loudly:

"So, let's give them another round of applause! Let's give EDG a round of applause! And let's give LPL a round of applause too!"

Immediately, cheers erupted again from the audience.

"EDG! EDG!!"

"EDG! EDG!!"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the brief interview session came to an end.

On the field.

Ren Dong is still diligently continuing to follow the procedures.

"Next, let's welcome with applause Tryndamere, the League of Legends joint partner, head of LOL international esports, and vice president of Riot Games!"

"And Peter Shock, the head of League of Legends Asia region!"

"Mr. Jin Yibo, the head of the LPL China League!"

"..."

"Please welcome our distinguished guests to present the championship medal to EDG!"

Suddenly, the background music in the venue became solemn and dignified.

The EDG players, dressed in their battle uniforms, stood in a row, like triumphant warriors awaiting their medals, including coach Clearlove.

One after another, bigwigs took to the stage.

Behind them followed a group of elegantly dressed young women, each carrying a tray and wearing a sweet smile.

Soon, Tryndamere, the real 'Barbarian King' and vice president of Riot Games, walked up to Wang Yao with a big smile.

He took out a medal symbolizing a world champion from the tray held by the girl behind him.

Then, it was hung around Wang Yao's neck.

"Hi Yao, I'm your biggest fan now!"

This year, EDG achieved their goal of winning four consecutive championships, which also facilitated Riot Games' plan to create legends around EDG and the LPL. Now, the name EDG has been etched into the overseas esports fan and entertainment circles.

Even in the next version, Riot Games will "customize" a favorable version for EDG, helping Wang Yao achieve a five-peat and reach an even more terrifying achievement.

Although Riot Games nerfs the previous year's champion team every year, it can be very difficult for a team to win a series of miraculous championships.

That would, in turn, garner support from Riot Games, and even receive favorable meta shifts!

After all, no one would turn down money. This is the same idea behind the NBA's creation of a legend like Jordan. In Season 7, Riot Games created a legend like Faker.

But now, Riot Games has already set its sights on Wang Yao, the player who has won four consecutive championships and will be switching to the top lane next season to compete for his fifth title!

Tryndamere shrugged and joked:

"You know what? Your skills have won us all over. Now the entire Riot Games is your fan club."

"Keep it up, we're really looking forward to your fifth title!"

Wang Yao blinked, then smiled and said, "That's my honor."

After the awards ceremony, all the bigwigs left the stage.

Golden rain scattered across the ground, and the background music gradually faded away.

The EDG team members, dressed in their jerseys and carrying their championship medals, with JKL even bearing the S-series championship trophy on his shoulder, looked absolutely dreamlike under the lights!
It seems that this championship ceremony is finally coming to an end.

The group looked around, hesitating whether they should leave.

At that very moment, Ren Dong returned to the field, holding up a small card, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, everyone! There's one more important award that hasn't been presented yet."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the audience seats in front of the venue: "I believe many of you have already guessed that what will be awarded next is the highest honor for individual athletes!"

The words had barely left his mouth when they caused a stir among the crowd.

"Yes."

Ren Dong announced loudly: "The award to be announced soon is the 2020 League of Legends World Championship Finals FMVP, the Most Valuable Player Award!"

"Brother Yao!!!"

"King! King!"

"Kshine!!"

In an instant, Wang Yao's ID echoed throughout the entire venue, and almost no other sound could be heard!

The official live stream chat was also flooded with comments.

"The least suspenseful episode ever!"

Congratulations to this Bilibili user!

"It's not that I, Yao-ge, have diarrhea while doing a handstand!"

"Although I'd love to see you do a handstand, this round is definitely a foregone conclusion."

Let alone the audience.

Even the teammates on stage were shouting along!
Wang Yao scratched his hair and turned to look at the big screen.

At this point, the official stance remains ambiguous, with the screen remaining black.

However, in everyone's eyes, this FMVP had already been decided long ago.

"Yes! Everyone has already called out his name!"

Ren Dong announced in a passionate voice, "Let's all congratulate EDG's Kshine on winning the 2020 World Championship Finals MVP!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

"Kshine!"

"Brother Yao!!"

Instantly, cheers erupted once again!

FMVP!

The dust settles!

The best player in the entire S10 League of Legends World Championship, without a doubt!

"Now, let's welcome Mr. Tryndamere, Vice President of Riot Games, back to the stage to present the FMVP trophy to player Kshine!"

In Ren Dong's voice, the 'Barbarian King' makes another appearance.

Tryndamere smiled and presented a small, deep blue trophy, symbolizing the Finals MVP, to Wang Yao:
Wang Yao accepted the trophy with a smile, saying, "Thank you for your recognition."

With Tryndamere's departure from the game.

At Ren Dong's prompting, Wang Yao slowly raised the azure blue trophy in his hand, allowing the photographer in front to take a close-up shot.

Online, countless people reacted differently, but what they all had in common was that they had no doubts about the selection of this FMVP!
Discussions about Wang Yao's strength have long been meaningless.

On the field.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Yao slowly bent down and kissed the FMVP trophy.

This scene has become a classic once again!
Wait until you come to your senses.

Ren Dong handed the microphone to Wang Yao again, smiling as he said, "Now, let's invite our FMVP, the 2020 Best Player, Kshine, to talk about how he feels right now?"

Holding the trophy in one hand and taking the microphone with the other, Wang Yao said earnestly, "Um...you must be very excited. I would also like to thank everyone for their recognition in order to receive this award."

As he spoke, he looked down at the audience and a bright smile spread across his face: "I think my performance did not disappoint you."

Suddenly.

Countless spectators became excited, waving their light sticks and shouting.

"Oh ho ho ho!!"

"Kshine!"

"You are the strongest one!"

Those longtime viewers who had been watching Wang Yao's streams since he joined EDG were especially excited.

They witnessed firsthand how Wang Yao went through his legendary journey from AD carry, mid laner, jungler, to winning the championship as a support.

Looking back, the god who created countless miracles once again stands at the top of the world!

soon.

After the audience's voices quieted down a bit, Ren Dong asked a few more routine questions.

The entire process has finally reached its final step.

The bigwigs from Riot Games and Tencent who just went on stage to present the awards, including Abu and other members of the EDG club, all came up on stage!

The crowd surrounded the EDG players like stars around the moon.

The trophy, symbolizing the S-rank, was held up by Wang Yao and Factory Manager at the very front.

Then everyone posed for the photographer in front of them.

"3, 2, 1... Eggplant!"

Click——

The camera shutter clicked, and the moment was captured!
This group photo will soon become the profile picture for official accounts such as the League of Legends and LPL official Weibo accounts, Riot Games official Twitter account, etc.
Of course, the background of the LOL client's homepage will also be replaced with this scene of winning the championship and lifting the trophy!
Simultaneously.

This also marks the complete end of the awards ceremony in Shanghai!
……

The process in Shanghai has come to an end.

But for the outside world, the storm surrounding this world championship has only just begun!
Without a doubt, this was a nationwide carnival.

From the moment EDG destroyed DWG's base, marking the end of the matter, many people were already so eager that they stopped watching the subsequent live streams.

If, when the score was 2-0, everyone had been somewhat restrained, simply cheering and celebrating together.

Now is the time to completely let loose!
"Holy crap!!!"

“EDG! Awesome!!!”

A high-pitched howl completely kicked off the carnival.

Immediately afterwards, countless boys started shouting at the top of their lungs!

"We are the champions!! We are the champions!!"

"EDG is awesome! EDG is awesome!!"

"Ouch!!!"

In an instant, the entire dormitory building seemed to erupt into chaos!

The unified and terrifying shouts were deafening! The floor even seemed to tremble for a moment!
Not only this building, but the entire campus, all the male dormitories, were plunged into riots at almost the same time!
Banners bearing the EDG logo were even hung outside the dormitory building by some students!

From the windows of each dormitory room, people were sticking their heads out, howling and shouting along with the other dormitories!
In no time, as if it were contagious, countless people joined this torrent!

The university in front of us is just the tip of the iceberg across the country!

Unimaginable cheers and screams erupted from schools, internet cafes, restaurants, squares, and countless other places where people gathered!
Whether you're walking down the street, sitting in a restaurant, or shopping in a shopping mall.

You could hear bursts of crazy shouts related to 'EDG' all around you!
This even drew in many people who had never played League of Legends, who enthusiastically joined the frenzy.

Although they're just talking about it, that doesn't stop them from joining in the commotion!
Immersing yourself in this vibrant atmosphere and chatting online with others is also a lot of fun!
Immediately after EDG won the championship, the number one trending topic on Weibo appeared.

The hashtag #EDG wins the Shanghai Cup# surged to over 3000 million views in just a few minutes!

Of course, this applies not only to Weibo, but also to other platforms such as Baidu Tieba, Bilibili, and Kuaishou.

Correspondingly, the internet has finally entered a state of complete frenzy! Memes are flying everywhere!
In particular, the memes and GIFs related to several EDG players have spread across the entire internet like a zombie virus!
Outside Shanghai.

The EDG club's bus was quietly parked at the back door.

There was no way to get out; the main entrance was already completely blocked.
Even through the back door, countless fans were waving their support items, excitedly waiting for something.

soon.

Led by Abu, the members of the EDG club filed out one after another.

"Wuhu!! They're out!! They're out!!"

"EDG! EDG!!"

"Brother Yao! Brother Yao! Look this way!"

"Kshine! So cool!!!"

"Holy Gun Bro! Invincible!"

"Duoduo! I love you!"

"Ah Shui, waaaaah... we finally won the championship!"

A series of near-voice-breaking screams rang out from all around.

Look at that crazy look.

If it weren't for the security guards, everyone would have been completely submerged!
Wang Yao and the others waved to each other and boarded the bus under the intense gaze of countless fans.

"call--"

As soon as they got on the bus, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if all their strength had been drained, and leaned back in their seats.

It was as if they had gone through a major battle, which had exhausted their physical strength.

They were in a state of extreme excitement for almost the entire day.

There was an opening ceremony, a final, and an awards ceremony—the whole process was non-stop!

When you relax for a moment, you will naturally feel a deep sense of fatigue.

"Let's all take a break!"

Abu, on the other hand, was quite excited, beaming with joy: "Tonight, it's just the beginning!"

EDG's owner, Edward Zhu, prepared a celebration banquet for the players well in advance, and the scale of this banquet was unprecedented in the e-sports circle.

Because it wasn't just people from within the EDG club, but also many streamers, commentators, and even celebrities who were brought in by Edward Zhu!
Even so, among everyone, the most dazzling protagonists are still the five members of EDG!
all in all.

After the grand celebration banquet, everyone was completely dizzy.

They had already endured a full day of battle and achieved an unprecedented championship victory, plus the awards ceremony and celebration banquet.

After a series of events, one's spirit has been completely drained.

So after the celebration banquet, everyone went straight back to their hotel and went to sleep.

Being at the center of the storm, they had no idea how much of a sensation had occurred outside that night!
The entire nation is in a frenzy, the official League of Legends account launched a celebratory event overnight, and news from various online platforms is bombarding everyone non-stop!
such as.

The anti-e-sports Louvre forum.

A post titled "[How to evaluate LPL's four consecutive championships, Yao Ge's coronation as the four-time champion]" has been featured on the front page.

Upholding the tradition of the Anti-Fighting Forum.

If you win, there's no reason not to praise it.

Not to mention, EDG also achieved a great feat, lifting the fourth LPL trophy in Shanghai!

It's fair to say that every contestant has countless people praising them.

Previously criticized as a lazy bum, Flandre has become the most unbreakable shield in the top lane.

Scout, the mid-laner, even went from being a junior to a prodigy!
Jungler Jiejie has also risen to prominence, earning the nickname "Uncle Four".

ADC JackeyLove has finally become a real "older brother" in name and in fact!
As for Wang Yao...

Perhaps because people have gotten tired of hearing about it, a lot of new ideas have emerged.

"All I can say is that Yao's decision to pick Vayne as support in the decisive game of the finals to win the championship is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

"Great! No need for further explanation!"

"..."

The next day.

Just as Wang Yao picked up his phone, which was flooded with messages, and was agonizingly replying to them one by one...

Online.

EDG Esports Club's official Weibo account.

A new Weibo post was published without delay.

"After negotiations, we have renewed our contract with 'Kshine' (laughs), so fans don't need to worry..."

It's not just EDG's official Weibo account.

At the same time, Ed Zhu also posted on his personal Weibo account.

Edward Zhu: "No need to wait anymore. Yao is already the treasure of our EDG team. He will not leave EDG again. This year, we just need to wait for the next round of recruitment!"

"Also, tonight at 8 PM, to celebrate EDG's championship victory, I will be holding a giveaway on Weibo, giving away a grand prize worth one million yuan in cash. All fans who follow and retweet will have a chance to win!"

The two Weibo posts immediately stirred up another huge wave of controversy!
After the message was posted on EDG's official Weibo account.

The previously unsettled fans finally began to calm down.

"Holy crap, is EDG going to change players again?"

"Isn't that obvious? Scout and Flandre both renewed their contracts with reduced salaries this year, just to win three championships. If they had renewed their contracts with the maximum salary for a championship, EDG's salary structure would have exploded long ago."

"I still hope to maintain the original lineup."

"Impossible! Yao will definitely switch to top lane next year. That'll be quite a show! Hahaha! Because Xiaohu is also switching to top lane, lol!"

"@EDG Esports Club, can you please renew my brother's contract with EDG? Where can you find such a good AD carry?"

"Seriously, shut up, you water ghost! Your brother forced my Yao to play Vayne and personally carry the team to victory in this World Championship. His skill level can't even be described as bad; if he lost, he'd be a complete war criminal!"

"..."

Not only that.

When everyone saw Ed Zhu's 'sprinkling money' Weibo post again, there was even more cheering!
This is a real million-dollar prize!

Smoke it straight away, no hesitation whatsoever!

And then, riding on the wave of EDG's championship victory.

Many people who originally paid no attention to the esports scene have also started to join in the fun.

In no time, the number of fans of the entire EDG club surged by an unknown amount!
It even made other clubs so envious that their eyes turned red with envy!
And amidst the ongoing online turmoil.

At the hotel, the EDG team was already packing their things, preparing to take a bus back to their Shanghai headquarters.

"Brother Yao, are Qiangzi and Li Nachan really leaving this year?"

Ah Shui asked curiously as he unzipped his suitcase.

"Correct."

Wang Yao picked up a handbag and nodded leisurely.

This was already discussed internally at EDG. In order to optimize and adjust EDG's salary structure, owner Zhu would support a maximum of three players' top salaries.

It's not that Edward Zhu is unwilling to spend money, but rather that Riot Games has issued new regulations that will set salary caps to limit the spending of top teams on renewing contracts with championship players.

Besides Wang Yao, Meiko is a must-have for EDG's top-paid players, leaving only one player for recruitment.

Jiejie's contract hasn't expired yet, and as a newcomer, even if he gets a raise, it will only be at the blue-collar salary level.

If EDG wants to renew JackeyLove's contract, they'll only have the blue-collar salary left to bring in a mid-laner!
Ah Shui seemed thoughtful, and sighed softly, "Actually, I still want to play with you guys for another year. I'm willing to take a pay cut to renew my contract."

At this moment, Wang Yao's voice rang out leisurely: "Don't worry, we've already contacted a new mid laner, and that person is your old teammate."

The words fell.

Ah Shui paused, seemingly not quite reacting yet, and after a long while, she opened her mouth in astonishment: "Huh?"

"Really? My old teammate? Could it be...?"

Ah Shui's face was full of disbelief: "Impossible!"

Before he could even speak, Wang Yao said calmly:
"Let's keep a low profile for now. Abu is in the process of negotiating this matter, and whether it will work out depends on the specific circumstances."

"I see!"

JKL immediately laughed. If this really works out, then EDG will take off again next season!

……

night.

Shanghai, EDG headquarters, second floor.

Wang Yao sat down at his desk and turned on his computer.

It's worth mentioning that countless people contacted the club and even him personally that day.

There are businesses that need advertising endorsements, self-media and KOLs who want to conduct interviews, top-tier live streamers who want to invite him to their live broadcasts, and European and American clubs that are still trying to poach him.

Even the LPL officials contacted EDG, wanting them to cooperate on some promotional activities.

The most outrageous.

Seemingly recognizing their popularity, some entertainment variety shows are even trying to contact EDG, hoping to have them as guests!
Of course, this was rejected outright by Edward Zhu.

In short, the sheer number of appointments already booked is overwhelming!
It's impossible to finish, there's simply no way to finish it!
So Wang Yao simply gave up, turned on his computer, and started a live stream after a long time.

The livestream title was: "Kids! I'm back! Let's talk about skin choices!"

Just started broadcasting.

"What did I find?"

"Holy crap, Yao-ge is streaming!"

As a few comments scrolled by, it was as if a floodgate had been opened, and countless viewers began to flood into the live stream!

One hundred, one thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions!
Less than a minute has passed!

This terrifying growth rate is something even those streamers who pay money to gain popularity probably can't imagine!

Clearly, it was the viewers who entered the live stream who spontaneously spread the news that "Brother Yao is going live"!

How many spectators flocked in?

The most noticeable effect was that the entire live stream experienced buffering after a short while!

Judging from this situation, it won't be long before it collapses completely!

Fortunately, the Bilibili backend staff noticed this in time and hurriedly switched Wang Yao's live stream to the highest-spec line.

It can be said that Wang Yao's sudden broadcast, which was completely unexpected, caught them off guard!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it's stable."

The person in charge of Bilibili wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Coming to his senses, he shouted with shining eyes, "Quick! Put the banner for Yao Ge's comeback premiere on the homepage!"

As he spoke, the person in charge's voice trembled: "It's time for us to get a piece of this wave of traffic!"

One minute later.

On the homepage of Bilibili, the large banner at the top has been replaced with a photo of Wang Yao.

Moreover, it's the picture of him standing on the stage in Shanghai, kissing the FMVP trophy in his hand!
The caption read: "Welcome back, Yao-ge, for your first broadcast!"
Immediately afterwards, countless gift messages flooded the entire platform.

In an instant, the entire Bilibili platform exploded!
