Full-time: Starting from Ye Xiu vs. Faker

Chapter 402: Ending and New Beginning (I)

"Are we going to win?"

"seems like it."

"Should we get excited?"

"It seems so."

“But it doesn’t seem very real.”

The last teamfight ended with Blue Rain's 2 for 5. When Ye Xiu seized the last opportunity and successfully took Gangzi's head from the crowd, he could only fall down under the beating of the remaining three members of Blue Rain.
Both Blue Rain and Happy realized one thing:

The outcome of this game has already been decided.

Blue Rain is the final winner tonight.

However, when the three Blue Rain soldiers led a large group of soldiers and began to advance towards Happy's crystal to complete the final move,
Unlike what the outside world imagined, with cheering, dancing and shouting, their team voice seemed to be a little calmer.

"It doesn't feel real? How does it feel unreal?" Chu Yunxiu pushed the tower slowly while turning her head to look at Gangzi with interest.

He is still waiting for the resurrection CD, but with Blue Rain's advancement speed, it is likely that he will not reach that time.

Although this guy doesn't have as strong a desire to show off as the water dispenser guy on the opposite side, he is usually considered the big talker of Blue Rain.

At this moment, he suddenly said something like that out of the blue. Is he trying to fill a big cup?
But this time it was not what Chu Yunxiu thought.

After hearing her question, Gangzi did not immediately speak arrogantly like he did during live broadcasts or when he was doing things in normal times.

He just scratched his head and replied a little embarrassedly: "Maybe... I haven't had the kind of pressure I would feel in a decisive battle?"

Gangzi was not joking this time, he was expressing his true feelings.

Although the competition was always intense, Gangzi, as the core of the late game, was often targeted by Xingxin's team as a breakthrough point.

He even acted as a hero for a while in the last game, becoming a wall of despair that Xingxin couldn't handle at all.

But for some reason, he felt that the pressure he felt was not even as great as the pressure from Fanhua when he lost the spring season.

Obviously, it was his brother Xuanjun who was targeted at that time...

"Normal." Yu Wenzhou smiled.

"We are indeed over-prepared this time."

They are one of the most adapted teams, but they have been in a state of rest and waiting for the opportunity.

Blue Rain has plenty of time to prepare for the final.

When the fight really started, it was no exaggeration to say that for any struggle or counterattack from Xingxin, Blue Rain had prepared a complete plan, or at least discussed and analyzed similar possibilities.

Even the magical plot of Ye Xiu's sudden success in replicating Blue Rain's tactics within a single game was discussed by Blue Rain in advance.

League of Legends is League of Legends after all, not a game like Honor where you can create miracles by accelerating your handlebars to over 700 at a critical moment and defeating three opponents at once.

No matter how amazing Ye Xiu is or how much he breaks through himself, he is still restricted by the upper limit of his character and operating skills.

The Glory Man understands the Glory Man best. Yu Wenzhou knows clearly how outrageous the upper limit of that Glory Myth is, so he gives his opponent the highest respect and considers the most incredible possibilities.

But he also understands the trade-offs between individual ability and tactical coordination in League of Legends, so he has accurately grasped the upper limit of the current Xingxin team.

Therefore, in this decisive battle, Xingxin was not able to make the Blue Rain players feel that "the situation is difficult to handle".

Without too much pressure, when you win, there will naturally be no ecstasy like the spring flowers crawling out of despair.

It's just... as it should be.

"We are the team that is better prepared, and we are also the team that performs more stably." Seeing the crystal explode, Yu Wenzhou stood up nonchalantly.

"It's no exaggeration to say that we are the strongest team, there is no doubt about that."

"So, we won, as it were."

He took the lead and walked out of the battle seat, striding towards Xingxin.

"So now, enjoy this well-deserved victory."

……

There was no scene like in spring when five players hugged each other with tears and roars after victory, nor was there the enthusiasm of being eager to hold the trophy.

The Blue Rain players walked out of the battle seat and lined up neatly towards Happy's battle seat, preparing for the post-match fist bump.

In fact, it was already the finals, and it would be completely reasonable to hold the trophy without a fist bump, but Blue Rain seemed to have no intention of disrupting this link.

It was as if they had won just an ordinary regular season game.

On Xingxin's side, the atmosphere was obviously a little depressed.

The most profound impression these four games left on them was a sense of powerlessness.

The feeling of being led by the opponent's tactics throughout the whole process.

It's completely different from the feeling in the spring when we fought five games and even though we were one move behind in the end, we still had a very satisfying game.

It's very torturous.

Ye Xiu was relatively stable emotionally, but it was obvious that his face had fallen.

He was a little surprised to see that everyone from Blue Rain was actually coming over to bump fists with him, but he still told his teammates to complete the process.

When he fist-bumped with Yu Wenzhou who was the first one, Ye Xiu lowered his voice and said, “You tricked me.”

Yu Wenzhou kept a calm face, but there was a barely perceptible smile in his voice: "Isn't this helping you clear the mines?"

He knew his brother well. Even if his character problems didn't show up in the summer finals, they would cause trouble for Happy sooner or later in the future.

Instead of waiting until something happens to Happy in the world game, it would be better to ask him, as the older brother, to help and expose the problem in advance so that they have enough time to solve it before the world game.

Look, this is the love that an elder brother has for his younger brother.

As for the summer season championship... just consider it as a little reward for hard work.

What a big deal.

While fans outside were cheering, they saw that their own team was different from the excitement of other teams when they held the trophy. The first thing they thought of was to fist bump, and they immediately became excited.

"What do you mean by elegance? This is elegance! Do you have such an elegant team? They are so graceful and elegant."

"He's really handsome, but he's a bit useless to Happy." "We were in the tactical initiative almost the entire time. Happy had to rely on explosive performance to win a game. If I were in his place, I would also pretend to be a big shot."

"Who cares? As long as he's handsome, that's all!"

It was a coincidence that after the Blue Rain players calmly fist-bumped with the Happy players, they were bathed in the cheers and applause of the tens of thousands of spectators and the blue dots of light in the sky.

The excitement and joy that was originally somewhat real was finally awakened little by little.

When they walked to the trophy, the excitement and joy of being champions finally appeared on their faces.

Along with Li Xuanjun who rushed over from the bench, the six Blue Rain players were among the excited shouts of Honorary Blue Rain Legend Wei Chen.

He held up the Silver Dragon Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of LPL.

"They did it..." Among the crowd, Wei Chen was probably the most excited one.

It’s not that the emperor is not anxious.

A year ago, Blue Rain missed the championship of the eighth season of Glory because Wei Chen accepted Pei Yunteng's order and sold a skill point secret book worth 20 million to Samsara.

After that incident, Blue Rain didn’t scold him, the official didn’t scold him, Tenghai solved all the public opinion problems for him, and even Blue Rain’s fans didn’t cause him much trouble.

But he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Even though he kept convincing himself that the Glory championship was flawed and not real, he was often troubled by the unwilling expressions of Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian at that time.

And now, this knot in my heart has finally been untied.

One year later, Blue Rain regained their championship.

If he knew that he had a part in the championship, I wonder if he would be more excited.

On the other side, Wang Duoduo looked at his old partner and senior who were rubbing their hands with excitement, and suddenly remembered something, and joined in the fun:

"Speaking of which, the championship that Blue Rain won this time does have a lot of special meanings."

"First of all, for Team Blue Rain themselves, after last year's controversial defeat, they completely washed away the regrets of that time with an impeccable performance one year later!"

"Speaking of which, it also helped our coach Wei resolve a big knot in his heart." Wang Duoduo joked.

"Yeah." Wei Chen did not deny it and nodded with a smile.

Wang Duoduo continued, "In addition, this is the first time since the end of the barbaric era of Chinese e-sports that a female player has stepped onto the championship stage of such a high-level competition as an absolute main force."

"Although this milestone was already determined after Happy defeated Fanhua and advanced to the finals, in the end, our Chu Yunxiushen was the better one and won this incredible honor before Roushen and Chengjie!"

The wild era of e-sports. This was after the complete end of Honor of Kings. Some people have divided the development process of Chinese e-sports into stages.

The time between the debut of the golden generation of S4 and the complete start of the commercialization of Honor e-sports was called the so-called barbaric era.

In this era, there have been female players who have won championships as the main force.

And it was none other than our number one loser today, Comrade Lao Ye’s former teammate, the sharpshooter of Jia Shi back then, whose ID was Cangtian Xia Ming.

This girl with glasses, together with Excellent Era, a team that looked like an internet cafe team, won the championship of the first season of Glory.

If we ignore the fact that the Glory League was basically an internet cafe competition at the time and its value was questionable, which deprived Ye Xiu of his triple crown status,
Xia Ming is the first female player in the history of Chinese e-sports to win the national championship as a main player.

However, since the golden generation of Honor debuted and the road to commercialization of e-sports was officially opened, no player has been able to succeed in the golden road of "women winning the championship", which is self-evidently how much traffic it will attract.

Apart from a minor substitute from the Weicao fringe who didn't even look down on the water dispenser and might have won a championship, the highest achievement he achieved as a main player was Su Mucheng's runner-up in the fourth season.

Now, six years later, Su Mucheng is still the runner-up, but her best friend has gotten this extremely valuable honor before her.

"Yes, Yunxiu, as a female player, how do you feel about winning the championship?" Huang Shaotian suddenly became curious as he listened to the commentator's introduction.

Chu Yunxiu, who had just put down the trophy, thought about it and suddenly smiled: "I don't have any feelings."

"Why?" Huang Shaotian was stunned.

"Maybe... because no one treats me any differently?" Chu Yunxiu blinked and her smile became even brighter.

For Chu Yunxiu, after coming to Blue Rain, she almost completely forgot her identity as the "strongest female player".

In other words, the environment she was in did not give her any intuition as a female player.

Blue Rain is such a fine team. As early as when recruiting Chu Yunxiu, Yu Wenzhou was keenly aware of Chu Yunxiu's mentality and her current minefields.

Therefore, Blue Rain, which recruited Chu Yunxiu under the name of "recruiting a showmaker" from the very beginning, has been carefully avoiding anything that may be related to gender issues in daily life and training.

There was no targeted preferential treatment given to Chu Yunxiu because she was a female contestant.

As a result, Chu Yunxiu almost never felt the gender-related topic that once troubled her the most in Blue Rain, and no one looked at her with tinted glasses because she was a girl.

What? You said that when she was on air, her male fans called her "wife"?

Wake up, don't talk about her, there is no player in the entire Blue Rain team who has fans who are crazy and calling him "wife" in his live broadcast room.

Even Gangzi’s live broadcast room has such outrageous content, which is so strong that it is unbearable to watch.

The gender-swapped videos and pictures of Huang Shaotian and Yu Wenzhou were so widespread that they were everywhere...

As for the opponents...

Wake up, Chu Yunxiu is the second top mid laner in the league in terms of hard power, second only to Ye Xiu.

Even after winning this final, before Ye Xiu regained an equally competitive honor, Chu Yunxiu was fully qualified to compete with him for the title of the strongest mid laner.

Looking down on her because she's a female player? That can only mean that you don't want to win.

Such an environment is very comfortable for Chu Yunxiu.

She was extremely disgusted by others taking advantage of her identity as a girl, and this kind of equal treatment satisfied her self-esteem to the greatest extent.

In these days of high-intensity competition, she even gradually forgot her identity as a female player.

So much so that after she had already won the trophy, she suddenly realized it after Wang Duoduo’s sudden reminder:
Oh, so I’m a female player…

...Then will the number of swordsmen in the live broadcast room double again?
Thinking of this, Chu Yunxiu suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of Xingxin again. It happened that Xingxin had packed up their peripherals and were leaving.

Maybe it was due to telepathy, but Tang Rou and Su Mucheng turned their heads at the same time. The three of them looked at each other in the blue light, with a different meaning.

"Mu Cheng, Xiao Tang, I'm one step ahead..."
