My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 229 Even if I turn into darkness that blots out the sky, I will protect everyone's smiles.

"it's over!"

"3:0, V5 has won three consecutive games in the BO5 series with an irreversible and overwhelming momentum."

"Victories continue, miracles continue."

"Let's congratulate V5!!!"

The moment the crystal shattered, Miller and Remember almost simultaneously raised their arms and shouted, while the Colonel stood there helplessly with his hands clasped.

It's not that he doesn't want to celebrate.

Instead, he confidently stated in the pre-match cafeteria night that JDG would defeat V5 3-2, but JDG was then swept 3-0?

No.

Dude, at least win one game!
He could even foresee the scene of his Weibo being blown up tonight.

no way.

Although he always believed in science, the truth is that this guy's words are like they've been blessed; in any supernatural world, they're just a conceptual artifact.

He predicted who would win and who would lose, and not just within the League of Legends community; I vaguely remember him predicting the World Championship as well.

and
Before a certain three-year period arrived, he also wished the people of the whole country good health.
But anyway.

The Summer Finals champion has been decided.

Congratulations to V5!

Good news: the V5 Golden Path has unknowingly reached its final stage; bad news: the final stage of the Golden Path accounts for 99% of the entire difficulty.

[Otto rushed to the V5 base in a wheelchair overnight to discuss the design details of Lulu's championship skin.]

I can't even imagine how fiercely V5 will be fought over after this year's transfer window. Aside from the entire Dream team whose contracts expire at the end of August, the other four players will probably be free agents after the World Championship.

Tonight, TES is definitely the biggest winner.

Shocked.

Unparalleled shock!
Demacia Cup, Spring Finals, MSI, Summer Finals.

Even V5 probably didn't expect their casually chosen Pinduoduo lineup to reach this point:
With a former youth academy top laner rejected by EDG, an aging jungler exiled by TES, a champion mid laner betrayed by his former team, a substitute AD carry discarded by TES, and a transparent support from FPX's second team, V5's storyline far surpasses JDG's.

The moment the game ended.

Despite his barely concealed excitement, Luo Ji forced himself to remain calm, picked up the water glass on the table, and took a small sip.

Slow down.

Be elegant.

You need to appear composed.

With countless cameras watching him right now, the summer finals are bound to bring in a lot of "new" viewers who don't usually watch the games. He doesn't expect to be able to fool the regular viewers who do watch the games with this act.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as we can trick new viewers into becoming fans, that's enough.

How
He wanted to show off, but Casa, who was standing next to him, wouldn't let him have his way. She took off his headphones and threw them away, then dragged Luo Ji around jumping and hopping.

Even more excited were the TES players on the other side of the screen.

Just like the original world.

Because of their points, TES secured the second seed from the LPL, essentially qualifying for the World Championship without any effort, unlike JDG, who had to compete in the gauntlet after losing to V5.

Compared to the jubilant V5 players' bench.

JDG here.

Then a sense of loneliness is inevitable.

After the handshake session, Redmi walked out from backstage and greeted his team members at the exit, his face softening.
Don't be discouraged.

"This lesson is invaluable for you."

“Your progress since the Spring Split has been remarkable, and as a result, you’ve become a little arrogant. But in the professional world, if you only focus on yourself, you’ll be overtaken by others without even realizing it.”

"Being surpassed by others is not a bad thing. The key is to have the determination to surpass them again after being surpassed."

slap~
After patting the contestants on the shoulders, Redmi's gaze unconsciously turned to the center of the stage.

Golden rain fell silently.

Even so, he couldn't see any signs of arrogance on the faces of the V5 players through the light screen.

As if something was chasing them, or as if some unfulfilled regret was at play, he stared intently into their eyes.

Until they noticed that their gazes would inadvertently drift towards the empty stands.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

It turned out to be the case.

Standing at the top, yet never seeing the view from there?

This feeling of surprise, like reading a novel and wondering for a long time how the protagonist will defeat the villain, only to find that the final way to defeat the villain is through the ending of the Qin Emperor, even for Redmi fans, was somewhat overwhelming.

what is this?
If his guess is correct, then his positive perception of V5 players has been shattered.

I thought they were a group of mentally mature monsters, but they turned out to be a group of slightly insecure children?

It's like:
The chess master in the movie: proud, persistent, and unswayed by worldly interests.
A real-life chess master: Why is this four-star Jhin doing no damage?
It's pretty weird~
After a series of trophy-lifting and medal-awarding ceremonies, Luo Ji unsurprisingly appeared in the post-match interview, accompanied by an excited Xiao Yan.

He was even trembling a little.

This shaking is somewhat like a "disjointed" phenomenon caused by a surge in hormones combined with high-speed mental concentration, leading to the body (brain) operating at an overclock. The body's functions are excited, but the brain remains calm.

Don't be fooled by the fact that his only task in the last game was to stay alive and deal damage.

However, with the enemy team's Wukong and Sejuani targeting him, the AD carry needs to give it his all just to survive.

To put it in more anime terms, it's open.

This playoffs.

Besides their mid-jungle synergy, V5's most striking feature is their double-lane setup on both the top and bottom lanes. An extremely unpredictable strategy.

An extreme level of stability.

However, compared to Luo Ji, the king of trash talk in the alliance, Xiao Yan was noticeably more reserved during the interview.

After all, they are professional players who haven't seen much of the world. Most LPL players don't appear as composed in interviews as they do on the field.

Unlike Luo Ji.

In my past life, I was a corporate slave and attended countless job interviews. Unless I boasted about myself to the skies, claiming I could repair missiles, operate aircraft carriers, and perform Thomas flares, I would never be able to land a job as a screwdriver with a monthly salary of 3000 yuan from the interviewer.

There weren't many spectators at the scene anyway.

Interview?

If you round it up, isn't that just another kind of interview?

"What is the goal of the number one seed for the World Championship? It's definitely the championship."

As I get closer and closer to the World Championship.

This was the question Luo Ji faced most often during interviews, but he answered it with great confidence and without any stage fright.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. If he doesn't even have the desire to win the championship, then it means that he has no chance of winning the championship in the first place."

"I don't think we'll lose to any team in the World Championship."

"We set our goals, were prepared, and put in extraordinary efforts to achieve them, doing everything we could to be the best. That's what makes us stand out from other teams."

"Perhaps in the future there will be a five-person team that is more hardworking and suitable than us."

"But now, it's just us!"

obviously.

Even the host in charge of the interview didn't expect that among the usually low-key LPL players, there would be such an arrogant weirdo as Luo Ji.

But he was very excited about it.

Whether it's V5's record or their efforts, these words are clearly backed by strength and confidence.

And
Isn't this exactly the kind of topic that Riot Games needs?

He had already thought of the title.

My Rival is in the Future!

He can guarantee it.

If we publish this headline tomorrow, the traffic for LPL, no, for the S-series, will surge dramatically.

Even in some sense.

V5 could even be considered a semi-Chinese team, and Rookie is only one "card" away from settling down in China.

【mad! 】

[It has to be Teacher Meng; this interview is on a completely different level from the other contestants.]

Listen to others, and some people should reflect on themselves. If they don't wake up soon, they'll never win the World Championship.

[With just one more S-series tournament to go, I can consider banning Bai Jiang.]

Based on Luo Ji's performance and results.

In a dark age, banning men would have been a foregone conclusion.

Letme's "Let Man", OTTO's "Garlic Man", iboy's "Fish Man", Doinb's "Dancing Man", The Shy's "Shy Man", MLXG's "Garlic Man", and Luo Ji is naturally a no-brainer.

But not enough!
The three top LPL players are the ones to strive for:
Wei Jiang, Wei Shen, Qi Jiang, Factory Director, Zao Jiang, Uzi—the only problem is that the "Jiang" generation not only needs strength, but also influence and the ability to create memes, and also needs the support of the times.

Just when everyone thought the interview was over.

last moment.

Facing an interview camera without any audience in the background, Luo Ji carefully organized his thoughts. When asked about the region, he naturally had to respond from the region's perspective, because they were the number one seed and represented the face of the LPL region to the outside world.

But at the end, when the host asked him what he most wanted to say to his fans...

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"As for what I want to say, well, how should I put it? Let's discuss the story about my ID that many people want to know."

"When I chose this ID, I probably thought about a lot of things, after all, it's Mebius, it represents light."

"But when I actually got to this point, I realized that my thinking was actually very simple."

Whether you believe it or not.

"At this moment, I am thinking that even if I turn into darkness that covers the sky, I will protect everyone's smiles."

The night the champion was decided.

V5's championship victory was a sensation from Ireland to the Khitan.

of course.

After the match, V5 cannot immediately depart for America. They need to wait for the gauntlet to determine the last two tickets, and then take a group photo before they can set off.

At this point, with only one or two days of free time, Nofe stopped forcing the players to train, as they needed proper rest after relaxing from the finals.

So the main task for the V5 players became watching the final two tickets for the bubble tournament being awarded through the screen and relaxing a bit.

then.

The elegant Chinese style has begun:

Smoking (burning incense), laser rain (listening to the rain), Mixue Ice Cream (tasting tea), Teamfight Tactics (playing chess), keyboard scribbling (playing the zither), escape room (exploring the secluded), foot bath (picking flowers), clubbing (drinking wine), TikTok (appreciating paintings), moonlit barbecue (waiting for the moon).

With the World Championship just around the corner, V5 took turns relaxing during their last few days of vacation until the final two tickets for the qualifying tournament were successfully secured.

finally.

The four teams representing the LPL at the World Championship have been successfully selected:

Seed #1: V5
Second seed: TES
Third seed: JDG
Fourth Seed: EDG
