LOL: The world’s best red-temperature mid laner!

In the end, TES pushed down the enemy base crystal in one fell swoop and won the game.

After the match ended, the TES players got up and went to AL to shake hands.

First, it's the top laner, A-Le. It's not that Lü Yi has any issues or opinions about him.

Ah Le does seem a bit dim-witted; many people online say he's skilled but lacks common sense.

It cannot be considered a complete slander.

"Master Yi." Seeing Lü Yi come over to shake hands, A-Le smiled awkwardly.

Lu Yi then said, "Ah Le, you played well, you even got a solo kill."

Hearing this, Ah Le was overjoyed and danced with excitement: "I didn't play well this time, really, I definitely won't lose next time."

Lu Yi was speechless. Did A Le consider him an AL person? Otherwise, why would he say this to him?

Ah Le realized there was something wrong with what he said, so he quickly corrected himself: "No, I didn't mean to beat you, I meant to beat 369."

369, who was following behind, rolled his eyes at Ah Le.

Lü Yi continued walking forward, shook hands with the jungler, and then came to Shanks.

"Master Yi." Shanks was quite polite and humble, shaking hands with Lü Yi's right hand and bowing.

Lü Yi said, "This version of mid lane is very skill-dependent, it should be your version, Shanks."

Shanks gave an awkward laugh and replied, "I didn't play well, I embarrassed myself."

Lü Yi smiled and said, "It's okay. It's only the regular season now. The real test will be in the playoffs. Everyone is practicing right now."

Shanks nodded: "Yeah, I hope we'll have a chance to play against Top Esports in the playoffs."

Ah Shui leaned closer and said, "You're quite ambitious, aren't you? Are you planning to make it to the finals?"

Shanks quickly shook his head: "No, the goal now is to get into the semifinals. I hope we'll have a chance."

Ah Shui replied, "That's good. The young man has potential; he's so humble."

After shaking hands with the AL bot lane duo, Lü Yi returned to the rest room with his teammates, packed his belongings, and left the competition venue.

After going to eat, Warhorse called out back at the training base, "By the way, the championship skins will be released this weekend, everyone get ready."

"We'll hold a championship skin launch event then, and sales will be huge."

Warhorse lowered his voice: "Right now, the LPL officials are waiting for our championship skins to sell more so they can get a bigger share of the money and then use it for tournament prize money."

Meiko complained, "Seriously, the LPL has already taken on so many ads, and now they want us to help them figure out how to make money?"

Warhorse laughed and said, "Who would complain about having too much money? Now the LPL management and the boss are all eating their fill. They've been living a good life these past few years."

Ah Shui said, "It's okay, as long as we win the championship, the bulk of the prize money will still be ours, which is like making money for ourselves."

Warhorse laughed, "Ah Shui is the one who understands things best, hahaha."

Warhorse was so happy, naturally because he could also get a share of the prize money.

In recent years, under the leadership of TES, the LPL has been thriving.

Their salaries are all higher than the last, almost matching the salaries of top-level sports events.

It's the weekend now, and TES's matches are usually scheduled for the weekend, so they should be playing those matches.

However, because the championship skins are being released today and TES is holding an event, the official schedule has been changed to next weekend.

When Lü Yi arrived at the training room at noon, he found that no one was training and they were all chatting.

"Yishen."

Everyone said hello.

Lu Yi asked, "What are you talking about?"

Meiko explained, "Weren't we having a championship skin launch event tonight? Warhorse asked us to think about how to communicate with the audience and create some fun."

Lu Yi glanced at it and asked, "Isn't the warhorse here? Did he leave?"

Ah Shui explained, "Warhorse has invited a professional team, and they'll need to do makeup and cosplay later."

"COS?" Lu Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, sensing that something was amiss.

369 got excited: "Hahaha, I heard you guys are all going to cosplay your champion skins, I have to take a good look."

Xiao Tian teased, "You're just envious."

Meiko said, "It's okay, 69, you can get one this year too, get a championship skin, and you'll never have to worry about anything again."

Upon hearing this, 369 began to fantasize about winning the S-series championship.

Xiaotian said, "Seriously, if 69 gets the championship skin, it will be a major blow to the top lane position. Everyone will start to question the prestige of this position."

369 was unhappy: "What do you mean by that? If Shanji can get a championship skin, why can't I?"

Ah Shui laughed: "How dare you be so disrespectful to the champion top laner! If I run into Shanji later, I'll tell him."

As everyone was chatting, suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

The warhorse appeared, followed by several makeup artists.

Not only that, there were also several porters carrying several large cardboard boxes.

Warhorse glanced around and greeted, "Everyone's here? Great, I've brought a professional team for you."

"These props were all made in advance. Take a look and feel free to ask me any questions."

The movers put the cardboard box on the ground, Warhorse opened the box, and the TES players crowded around.

This contains some cosplay props, clothes, shoes, gloves, weapons...

They all have the same art style as the EDG championship skins.

The names of the heroes were written on the cardboard box: Quesanti, Monkey King, Yone, Zeli, and Lenata.

It happened to be 2023, the year of TES's championship skin heroes.

Lu Yi walked up to Yong En's box, which was noticeably larger than the others. He opened it and took a look.

Inside was a set of Yone's clothes, and on top of the clothes were two longswords covered with plastic film.

Because the sword is very long, the cardboard box also has to be long enough to fit it, making the box appear very large.

"Holy crap, that's cool! That sword's got something special." 369 exclaimed from the side.

Lü Yi reached out and tried to pick one of them up.

The words "controlled knives" immediately came to mind.

He thought it was plastic, but it was clearly not; it was very heavy and made of metal!
Although it's not sharpened, it would still be lethal if used in actual combat.

Moreover, the workmanship is excellent.

The sword is engraved with EDward Gaming, which is the full name of EDG eSports Club.

Then there's Lü Yi's ID, GodYi, which is artistic and very elegant.

Lu Yi held it in his hand to try it out; for someone like him who doesn't exercise often, it was quite heavy.

Warhorse explained, "I ordered this last month. At that time, the championship skin had already been finalized. I took the design to the craftsmen and spent a lot of money."

Meiko asked, "This money can be reimbursed, right?"

Warhorse nodded: "Yeah, there's so much money, I can't just pay for it myself."

Ah Shui joked, "I feel like it's because the club is supplying it that the quality is so good and it costs so much money."

Warhorse smiled without saying a word. Now everyone understood; it was actually true, and Warhorse might even have taken a kickback.

Warhorse continued, "Put them on first and try them on. If there are any problems, we'll figure something out."

So everyone dragged their suitcases and returned to their own rooms.

Lu Yi took off his clothes in the room and put on Yong En's props.

Suddenly, he realized something very embarrassing.

Yongen's outfit is a bit revealing on the upper body; I wonder if her livestream will get her banned. After all, most livestreaming platforms prohibit revealing breasts or any gender during broadcasts.

Lu Yi put on all the props, including the mask, and walked to the mirror with two swords in his hands.

I must say, this look is actually quite cool.

You don't even need good looks, just a good figure, since you're wearing a mask.

In the afternoon, Lü Yi received a message from Zhanma, asking him to get his makeup done.

After leaving his own room, Lü Yi went to a room next to the training room.

This room has been converted into a temporary dressing room.

As soon as Lü Yi entered, he bumped into a "woman".

The other person was wearing a mask, completely covered up, with only their eyes visible.

"So handsome?"

"quite handsome."

Lu Yi and the other party spoke at the same time.

The character design is clearly that of Renata, and since it's Renata's design, the person under the mask must be Meiko.

Lü Yi praised, "Although the hero Lenata isn't flashy in the game, her appearance would be quite imposing if used for cosplay."

Meiko agreed: "Indeed, I didn't think he was this handsome before."

"I guess it's because this hero isn't very popular, and nobody usually cosplays her."

As the two were talking, Yi Shen Huang Mao and Xiao Tian, ​​who was carrying a stick, came in.

Xiao Tian is rather short, so this style actually looks quite interesting on him.

"Not bad, Grand Emperor, you've got a real monkey vibe," Meiko teased.

Xiao Tian complained, "This outfit has too much fur; it'll hurt my neck."

"Haha, who told you to choose the Monkey King champion skin?" Meiko gloated.

Xiao Tian said helplessly, "I didn't know we had to do this kind of thing, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have chosen the monkey."

Then, someone else came in—Ah Shui!

Ah Shui was wearing a jacket that looked pretty cool, but it didn't match the style of the other TES players.

He was also holding a gun, but the gun had a rather "youthful" design, like a children's toy.

Meiko laughed: "Hahaha, Jack, why do you look like an elementary school student dressed like that?"

Ah Shui shrugged: "Ze Li's clothes are like this, what can I do?"

"Besides, if you're handsome enough, you don't need clothes to match."

"Wow!" The TES members cheered, making Ah Shui a little embarrassed.

Just then, Zhanma came in, glanced around, and said, "Are you all here? You can start getting ready. There are still a few hours left, no rush."

"I've already contacted Shanji and told him to get ready so you can team up and play together."

Lü Yi then found a seat and prepared to receive the makeup artist's services.

However, the makeup artist, who was initially quite serious, immediately sprang into action after Zhanma left: "God Yi! God Yi, everyone has seen him in person!"

"I'm your fan, Yi Shen, can I take a picture with you?"

Other makeup artists were also mobilized, and they all gathered around, saying they were fans of Lü Yi.

There was no other way, so Lü Yi had to get rid of them first before she could start putting on makeup.

It was 7:50 p.m.

Lu Yi sat in front of his computer, ready to go live at eight o'clock. He was already prepared and was playing on his phone.

It's already generating buzz online, with people discussing it.

Open Baidu Tieba, other websites, or the game client, and you'll see the champion skin launch event, as well as the TES live-streaming sales event tonight at 8 PM.

[Brothers, the Top Esports championship skins are available today! We'll be giving away ten sets of Top Esports championship skins to the ten lucky readers on the first ten floors.]

Holy crap, are you all this rich? So many people are participating in the lottery.

Is this for real? I've seen at least fifty posts like this.

Top Esports is now the world's number one esports club, am I wrong?

[If Yi Shen leaves, I suspect Top Esports will collapse. Being number one isn't easy.]

With two minutes to go before 8 o'clock, Warhorse entered the training room and reminded everyone, "The broadcast is about to start, get ready!"

Everyone looked at the screen, and the broadcast started precisely at eight o'clock!
Lu Yi called out, "Brothers, I'm here."

The chat room erupted in excitement:
Welcome to the world's number one mid laner!

Holy crap, is he really that handsome? He's incredibly handsome!

[This...this seems to involve pornography, isn't it? Will my livestream get banned?]

[I didn't expect Yi Shen to have such a great physique. Is he deliberately showing off his body?]

Sure enough, the viewers in the live stream had already focused their attention on Lü Yi's figure.

Lü Yi declined to comment.

"Thank you everyone for the gifts, thank you."

The live stream was bombarded with gifts; the viewers were incredibly enthusiastic, showering the stream with virtual gifts.

Normally, a streamer would respond to each comment individually at this point, showing their attitude.

Lü Yi wasn't being arrogant; it was just that there were too many people to read them all aloud, so he chose to thank them all at once.

After everyone else logged on, Lü Yi entered the game client, created a room, and then added everyone in, using voice chat on his phone.

"Yi Shen, Shui Zi Ge, Tian Ye Ge, Gao Tian Di." Shan Ji's familiar voice came.

Xiao Tian teased, "Long time no see, so polite? Who are you? You're not Chicken at all!"

Chicken laughed and said, "Your Majesty, what are you saying? I was just as humble and polite when I was with Top Esports."

Xiao Tian replied, "Really? I didn't see that at all."

Meiko then asked, "So, Chicken, is it fun in NIP? You're on the same team as Song Yijin."

"Sigh." Shanji sighed, leaving the TES players speechless, as if everything was understood without words.

Ah Shui asked, "Is it that uncomfortable?"

Shanji said, "We haven't won a single BO3 in the summer split, boss. Look at the standings, don't you feel bad?"

Xiaotian couldn't hold back: "No way, you can't even win a best-of-three series? You can't even beat LGD?"

The pheasant replied, "If we couldn't win, would it be a complete defeat?"

Ah Shui joked, "Your title of world's best top laner has a rather short shelf life, only a few months?"

"I thought that if you teamed up with Song Yijin, you could at least make it to the playoffs."

The pheasant smiled wryly: "That's what I thought too."

At this moment, the chat in Lü Yi's live stream was filled with messages:
[Hahaha, I bet 369 is dying of laughter. If Chicken hadn't left, she wouldn't have had a chance to come.]

Every player who leaves Top Esports will eventually regret it.

They're incredibly audacious; they really think they're number one in the world.

When the tide goes out, you see who's been swimming naked.

[I remember Hang did the same thing before; he left happily, but a few days later he went crazy.] (End of Chapter)
