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

Chapter 185-We are the champions!!

"I urge the gods to shake themselves up, so that all these evil spirits can go away!!!" Wang Duoduo chanted the poem loudly, slamming his hands on the table and shouting, "Don't even think about escaping!!!"

"This is the first pentakill since the start of this MSI!" Miller's eyes sparkled with excitement. "No, including last year's two MSIs, this is the only time a pentakill has occurred! Another record!"

Seeing his two colleagues so excited, Wawa didn't know what to say, or maybe everything he wanted to say had already been said, so he just echoed like a salted fish: "Yuanshen Shark is crazy! 666——!"

Pentakill + team wipe + Baron.

After taking it, they pushed down SKT's middle lane tower and the little dragon.

In the next three minutes, the Baron buff operation was advanced, and after breaking through the high ground in two lanes, Flash Wolves went back to update their equipment.

After seeing Akali's equipment, fans from the LCK region were speechless and felt that there was no hope at all.

Tech Gun + Ice Staff + Central Asia + Mercury's Boots + Invigorating Armor + Blue Shield.

The six pieces of equipment with both tankiness and output did not give the opponent any chance. The excess economy also led to a steel potion, which made people despair just by looking at it.

Afterwards, Flash Wolves directly started a team fight and ended the game.

Ashe started the fight first, and then the Flash Wolves' expected three-charge system of Zac + Kennen + Akali completely defeated SKT's formation.

Of the three heroes rushing up from the opposite side, who are they going to focus their fire on?
SKT suddenly realized that even if Akali didn't have a natural fat and developed normally, their team battles would not be easy to win. Zac and Kennen were full of control, Akali was harvesting, and the two shooters were dealing damage from the back.

But the problem now is that there is no need for Zac and Kennen at all, Akali alone is a bit unstoppable.

Can't beat it.

Even Clockwork and Jhin couldn't hit Akali with their focused fire. Besides the equipment difference, the level difference of three levels meant that if they managed to take away some of her health, it would be quickly sucked back.

As for them... once Akali gets close to them, it becomes a nightmare experience, with their health dropping rapidly.

Game time is thirty-four minutes.

Flash Wolves won the team battle with great ease, Akali got a triple kill, and won the final game with a luxurious record of 13/0/2.

Three to zero.

When this result really came out, the CPL commentators and the audience really felt it was not real.

This... is a win?
Or a crushing 3-0?
BO5 is the best format to test a team's strength, comprehensively testing their hero pool, tactical depth, player mentality, and concentration...

The upset in BO1 can be attributed to carelessness and underestimation of the opponent, but the loss in BO5 is simply a complete lack of skills. There is nothing much to say.

But even if one's skills are not as good as others, they are still divided into three levels.

The score of 3 to 2 proves that the two teams are on par in terms of strength and condition. If they play again, it would not be surprising who wins. It all depends on luck and the players' courage.

Three to one proves that there is a certain degree of gap in hard power between the two teams.

And three to zero is the gap between two different levels. Both the players' performance and the tactical depth were completely defeated.

And now, Flash Wolves unexpectedly defeated the Spring King of the LCK region 3-0, completely defeating the legendary SKT...

It’s not that I didn’t think I could win, but I didn’t think I could win so overwhelmingly.

"3-0 against South Korea, I'm going to shut down the game!"
"With SKT 3-0, isn't this championship more valuable than EDG's?"

Weibo, Tieba, and forums are all praising Flash Wolves and Yuanshen.

The last time an LCK team defeated another team 4-0 was during S0, when MG played against NJWS. That match is still broadcast by many B anchors every day and night, with a popularity value of to every night. This is enough to show how deep the impression of this kind of battle is on the audience and how worth remembering it is.

Of course, amid this carnival, there are also other voices.

"To be honest, SKT's top and jungle teams have just been reorganized and haven't been able to mesh well. Their losing streak in the group stage shows they're not in great shape, and the team has obvious flaws and problems. It's best not to underestimate LCK teams, like RoTiger, the regular season champions."

"Yes, it can be seen that SKT still has strength. If other CPL teams come to play, they may not be able to win.

This is a group of CPL fans who are more rational and objective.

But unfortunately, no one listened to his advice. Instead, many people labeled him as a Han Za and thought he was just talking nonsense.

The storm of SKT's 3-0 defeat is getting more and more intense. It is not only blowing the CPL's wind, but also the fans all over the world...including some LCK fans.

The world's number one region.

This trend of public opinion is even more intense than when EDG won the MSI championship last year, and even more intense than when Flash Wolves won the S series.

It’s not that this year’s MSI is more valuable than the S game, but... it’s the result of years of accumulation.

After defeating SKT, the championship is already in their pocket. Once they win the MSI championship, the CPL region will have won three world championships in a row. And with this crushing 3-0 victory, it's impossible not to brag about it.

However, whether this is truly the peak era of CPL or just another expansion... time will tell.

After winning the game 3-0, Yuan Shen was as happy as others, if not more.

Flash Wolves' victory last year was a meta boost, and a personal victory for him. It could be said that he had the right timing, location, and people. If it weren't for the tank-heavy, top-lane-dominated meta last year, the process and outcome would have been completely different. It's hard to say who would have won...

But this time is different, this time, it is a complete victory for the team.

Yuan Shen's understanding of the game, transcending versions, and his familiarity with each player, not only strengthens himself, but also strengthens his entire team. He teaches everyone everything he knows about powerful heroes from various versions, including strategic systems, details about heroes, and combos...

Of course, if it weren’t for last year’s championship, if it weren’t for Flash Wolves, Yuan Shen wouldn’t have had such a high say and wouldn’t have been able to tell anyone to practice whatever they wanted.

Leading the team over to shake hands, Yuan Shen met Faker again. This time, although his expression was dejected, he did not cry anymore. Instead, he stood up and stretched out his hand to him with a smile.

"Next time..." Li Xianghe's eyes flashed with determination, and he spoke in the simple Chinese he learned this year.

"Well, next time!"

Yuan Shen smiled and nodded, answering in a low and powerful voice.

"I'm waiting for you."

He knew that with Faker's character of treating the game as his life, he would never be defeated by failure.

Failure will only make this man work harder and become stronger.

Just like what Nietzsche said, what does not destroy me makes me stronger.

This year's Worlds, with the top and jungle teams already aligning, and SKT's fire of revenge growing stronger, should they become even stronger and make a comeback?
With such competitors chasing us from behind, we really can't relax for a moment.

When it came to Bang's position, this boy, who had lost dozens of pounds compared to last year, started crying loudly.

But after noticing Yuan Shen's arrival, he quickly wiped away his tears, stood up with red eyes, shook hands with Yuan Shen, and showed a stubborn expression.

Bang didn't say anything harsh.

But the increasingly fervent fire of revenge in his eyes conveyed what he wanted to say.
Okay, another contender.

Yuan Shen felt both happy and helpless.

Karsa next to him had a strange expression on his face. He carefully observed the reactions of the SKT players and discovered a shocking fact.

It seemed like all these guys were looking at Yuan Shen. Even when they were shaking hands with him, their eyes were still on Yuan Shen.

Lifelong enemy?
But it doesn’t matter. For SKT, Yuan Shen is a lifelong enemy.

But to Yuan Shen, SKT is just a more legendary team.

The only player worthy of his attention is Faker.

However, without the S5 World Championship and the S6 MSI Championship, Faker's original personal resume is a little less impressive, but it is still dazzling.

Being a five-time champion is one of the best results in all e-sports competitions.

Even with one less world championship, Faker will still have four championships.

And he needs to do more.

In fact, by beating the legend, they become the legend.

After winning, you can't afford to lose. Because your achievements are so dazzling, you've ascended to the altar, and your fans' expectations of you become increasingly higher.

Many championship fans can't even tolerate you losing a small game. They think you shouldn't lose at all, and that if you lose the game you are either manipulating the score or fixing the game.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

Both RNG in the S8 World Championship and IG in the S9 Mid-Season Championship have proven this.

Just because you win the championship, you are immune to criticism?
nonexistent.

"Let's go and get the trophy! This is our first MSI title! You guys are awesome!"

Wei Shen patted Imp's head. They lost to EDG in last year's spring season and did not get a ticket to MSI.

After EDG defeated SKT 3-2, many LPL viewers said that either EDG or LGD could win the MSI championship.

At that time, many people did not believe it, but today he proved it with his own strength.

Isn't it just SKT?
It’s like no one has ever won!
……

When they won the game, a special effect of white mist and flames surged on the stage, and silver-white ribbons covered the sky and landed on the ground like falling rain.

Silver rain!

This is also a small detail from Riot Games.

In terms of value, MSI naturally cannot reach the level of the S game. If MSI were to lower its level, it would be better to have Silver Rain.

The Flash Wolves, who won the championship, proved that they are the strongest team in all regions this spring!

Under the silver rain, the five players and coach of Flash Wolves walked to the center of the stage and sat on the round table where the MSI championship trophy was placed.

Last year’s MSI was the first one, so the competition system and trophy were in their infancy and were very simple.

After winning the championship, each player was only given a medal, there was no trophy at all.

So, it was the first time for everyone to see the MSI trophy.

The MSI trophy is not as big as the Summoner's Cup or the Summoner's Cup, but it is still made of pure silver and is very heavy.

Bathed in the silver rain, six people worked together to lift this trophy that was too heavy for one person.

Just like in a competition, it is impossible to win in the end by relying on one person alone.

The moment they lifted the trophy, the cheers from the home crowd were so thunderous that it seemed as if the ceiling of the entire venue was about to be blown off.

The driver on the road outside the stadium was so frightened by the noise that he almost stepped on the accelerator and ran a red light.

The Flash Wolves team held up the trophy, enjoying the cheers of the audience and savoring the feeling of victory.

Wei Shen was the most excited, as this was the first world championship in his life.

He and his four world championship teammates reached the same peak height at this time!
The performance of others was relatively calm.

Riot Games quickly selected the FMVP of this MSI, and naturally, it was Yuan Shen who performed the best.

Jarvan, Ekko, and Void Warrior all left a deep impression on audiences around the world in the group stage.

In the knockout stage, he brought out the invincible vampire again, ignoring the hero counter and breaking through Duke's defense head-on.

These are all famous scenes from the 2016 MSI.

Not only Yuan Shen, but also many novel tactics of the Flash Wolves team have opened the eyes of global audiences.

Then, it was soon time for the post-match interview.

The people the official wants to interview are Yuan Shen and Wei Shen.

Yuan Shen has a high appearance rate. If Flash Wolves win ten games, he will be interviewed seven or eight times.

The official seems to favor him very much, but there is nothing we can do because the audience wants to watch it.

What's more, Yuan Shen was originally the FMVP player of this MSI, so it would be a shame not to interview him.

As for Wei Shen, his performance in this MSI was also very eye-catching, perfectly demonstrating the strength of a world-class mid laner.

The world's number one mid laner, some people are already calling him Wei Shen.

In addition to Nakano, the person the official most wants to interview is Sheshe.

When playing against SKT, his laning and teamfighting abilities were terrifying, his vision control was unstoppable in disadvantageous situations, and his Ice Maiden's system...

You know, when people say that the bottom lane of CPL is strong, most of the time they mean that the ADC is strong.

But in this year's version where supports dominate the bottom lane, Flash Wolves' bottom lane has reached a world-class level, and Snake has proven his status and strength.

"First question, after winning the MSI championship, may I ask players Wei Shen and Yuanshen, how are you feeling now?" Ren Dong asked with a smile, handing the microphone to Wei Shen first.

"You must be very happy. Winning the championship proves that our team is still strong." Wei Shen said.

Wei Shen speaks very cautiously and officially, because the media is so powerful these days, and if you say something wrong accidentally, the rhythm may go all over the place.

Moreover, they didn't perform very well in the finals.

Although the problem was largely due to the bottom lane, Flash Wolves is a team after all.

In the eyes of many people, whether the bottom lane is a pit or others are pits, it makes no difference, they are all garbage anyway.

Fortunately, they won.

As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

The more popular a team is, or the more traffic a public figure has, the more careful they should be in what they say and do.

"I'm very happy to win the championship, but I want to set a record more."

"Oh?" Ren Dong raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "For example, what record?"

"For example, winning two consecutive World Championship titles, an unprecedented feat." Yuan Shen smiled. "For example, achieving the universally recognized triple crown in competitive sports... The sense of accomplishment from setting these records must be incredible."

"..."

Ren Dong was stunned. He never expected Yuan Shen to say this.

The barrage in the live broadcast room of the event was filled with 666.

"Wow! Is Yuan Shen so confident?!"

Abu, who was watching the game at the club, was surprised, but Mingkai shook his head and laughed.

"This guy has once again put himself at the center of public opinion."

"what?"

The rest of EDG looked at MingKai in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

"He did the same thing last year," Mingkai shrugged and explained, "By making such outrageous statements, he's drawing all the attention and public opinion onto himself. Even if we lose, most people's first reaction will be to his arrogant words, not to blame his teammates. Flash Wolves are lucky to have a player like Yuan Shen."

"Of all the negative public opinion, he alone might account for more than half of it... This is a weird move, right? But, it's embarrassing to say, if someone on EDG was willing to shoulder the pressure, I might actually perform better."

Mingkai shrugged. There was something he didn't say, and it was impossible for him to say it.

If Yuan Shen had chosen EDG instead of Flash Wolves, would the result be different?
However, given EDG's playing style, it would be difficult to give him enough trust and opportunities to allow him to fully display his talents, right?
