I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 103-Esports, only champions!
After defeating FNC, there was jubilation in the country.

Watching Flash Wolves slaughtering all around and defeating powerful enemies one after another, many fans have already considered themselves Flash Wolves' ten-year-old fans.

In the group stage, they defeated KOO twice and advanced with a perfect record. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, whether they faced European giants or LCK teams, they ended up with a score of 3-0.

Although Royal Club also reached the finals in S3 and S4, they had to make several comebacks at that time, and there was even a suspicion that they relied on internal wars to reach the finals.

The dominance of the Samsung duo during the S4 season was obvious to all, and many people said that the true runner-up that year should have been Samsung Blue...

Of course, there is no point in competing for the runner-up, and no one will pay attention to the runner-up.

In esports, there are only champions.

Although SKT is very strong, it does not prevent some fans from boldly imagining the scene of Flash Wolves winning the championship with a perfect record.

Of course, there are also many Korean magazines that are quarreling and mocking each other.

People pay a lot of attention to the S game, and every operation can become a meme.

Huni's tragic experience in the three games was talked about by people, and various operations of being killed by counter-shows were clipped and posted on the forum.

Huni, who was known as Ziyi's father for his cruel and murderous attitude, has now become Yuan Yi'er.

Of course, there are many others who have received this title, such as Smeb, Ssumday, Darshan...

It is still very difficult to be the first.

The emergence of so many memes has made this World Championship more and more popular.

Many people who don’t play League of Legends can’t help but want to join in.

It's like every time the World Cup comes, there are always some people who don't usually watch football and suddenly they start posting football memes crazily on their WeChat Moments, saying things like 'C Ronaldo is invincible, hat trick', and their analysis is very logical, but they don't even know how many people play football.

Riot is happy to do so.

There are only two people left on the list of the star-making plan.

Yuanshen, and MaRin.

The performances of these two people are the best in the entire S5 World Championship so far, and they are taking two extreme approaches.

There's no need to talk about Yuanshen's style. He is brutal in laning phase, killing people at level two or three many times. His output in team battles is explosive, and in a balanced game, he is also an irritable player who will flash and kill people in an instant if he disagrees with something.

He will always be the most irreplaceable point of the Flash Wolves, and he must stand up and carry the whole game.

After advancing to the finals, tens of millions of people around the world knew the ID "Yuanshen". Even people who played other types of games knew that an extremely powerful top laner had appeared in the LOL professional arena.

At the beginning, many people thought Yuan Shen was a Korean player, but after learning that Yuan Shen was a native Chinese, they all became his fans.

Marin is different. His style is very stable, he is stable in laning, plays a huge role in team battles, and in disadvantageous situations, he can coordinate with the entire team's operations to single-handedly push the team and engage the opponent.

Marin's style when he was in SKT was completely non-individualistic. He transformed himself into the most needed part of the team, running the SKT war machine.

When the team needs him to sacrifice, he can take the initiative to start the team fight and play the greatest role before his death.

When he is needed to carry the team, he can also use his rich experience to open up a breakthrough.

The difference between the two is like the difference between individual heroism and team operations.

At present, Marin’s popularity is also quite good, but it is still not as good as Yuanshen.

After all, the players who play games are all young and passionate young people. Who wouldn't like this kind of fierce playing style?
But Riot's star-making plan will not be based on popularity.

Relying on popularity voting to select the champion, LPL was able to win the championship consecutively until Season 15. They only look at the results, and whoever wins the championship will be the strongest top laner of the year and become the superstar promoted by Riot.

After the game, the Flash Wolves did not have any time to rest.

Early the next morning, we headed to Berlin, the final destination of this World Championship.

After arriving in Berlin, the Flash Wolves went to a local internet-famous restaurant in Berlin for dinner.

The signature dish of this internet-famous restaurant is grilled steak, and Lightning Werewolf ordered one.

No training today.

There are only five days left until the finals begin.

At this point in the game, there will be no more intense training. If the fingers are strained, I really won’t be able to play in the game, which is not worth it.

These few days, we are mainly doing tactical analysis, and the training time will be controlled within eight hours.

After returning to the hotel arranged by Riot in the evening, Yuan Shen also began to watch SKT's game videos.

The game has reached the 25-minute mark.

On the middle lane, a 5v5 team battle is underway.

An invincible Tyrant Crocodile rushed into the battlefield from the rear. Its terrifying tankiness and blood recovery, and its devastating damage to the back row, completely broke the opponent's formation and demonstrated what it meant to be unstoppable.

Gallop across the battlefield and sweep away the enemy.

"Every time I see this crocodile, I think it's so fierce." Sheshe said with wide eyes: "Is this guy really 24 years old? I can't believe it..."

MaRin was born in 1991 and is 24 years old this year.

He entered the professional arena after graduating from university in S3. Although he looks older, he is actually a player of the same year as Sheshe and Maple.

For professional esports players, whether they're 24 or 22 years old two years ago, they're considered advanced. Scientific research has proven that a man's physical peak is at 22, and from that age on, his life is on a downward spiral.

The golden age for e-sports is even shorter, and people in their 20s are considered old.

In China, players of MaRin's age basically choose to retire and sell meat pancakes live on the Internet, or rely on their experience and awareness to make a living.

You know, even the LPL veteran, Zzitai is only 22 years old now.

"This person's competitive form is indeed very good..." Zhou Luxi said.

"However, his strengths lie in his understanding of the game, his understanding of the lane, and his perfect adaptation to the team's system and tactics. If he were placed in a combat team that focuses on individual strength, his performance would not be so outstanding."

Zhou Luxi couldn't help but sigh after he finished speaking.

Come to think of it, he is one year younger than MaRin, but he has been replaced by the new generation of players.

"In other words, MaRin is a system player."

Marin's mechanics are not weak and he can reach the level of a first-class top laner, but he is definitely not among the top players in terms of mechanics.

If I have to say, this person is the type who plays games with his brain, which may be related to his high education.

In the e-sports circle where most people are under 20 years old and are all internet addicts, a college degree is indeed considered a high level of education.
