My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 278 How can we say we have no clothes? We share the same robes.

The vlog released by V5's official Weibo account has generated a huge response across the internet.

Come to think of it.

As a team that has almost completed a year of golden journey, they didn't have a single spectator at any of their league matches. The only matches where they could feel cheers were MSI and World Championship.

From beginning to end.

Most of the people cheering for V5 at the scene were foreigners, which makes V5's performance quite unprecedented.

same.

As time passed, the eve of the final finally arrived.

That night, many people couldn't sleep.

Aside from Rookie having definitively won the World Championship, even for veterans like Karsa, this is the first time he's stood in the finals.

The group of people were preoccupied with their own thoughts.

On the last night, we didn't even play ranked games much, but instead took a walk together within our range of movement.

Some of them even exclaimed:

"We've finally reached this point."

"Indeed, no matter how you look at it, it always feels a bit like a dream."

How will this end?

"Having won T1, we should be stronger than before, right?"

At the beginning of the season.

Who would have thought that this cobbled-together team could get this far? It's a bit like DWG in S10, a team that started as a team in an internet cafe and eventually stood on the highest stage representing League of Legends.

"Under normal circumstances, in this atmosphere and environment, it seems that someone should say something."

The one speaking was Luo Ji, who was walking on the side.

He had been waiting for either Rookie or Casa to speak, but the two seemed to have some kind of unspoken understanding. Every time he looked over, they would keep their eyes down and pretend they didn't see him.

no way.

It felt strange to remain silent.

So he took the initiative to speak:
"Now that we've come this far, there's really not much to say. Once we cross this final hurdle, we'll be able to stand on the highest stage of League of Legends."

"From now on, fear or dread is meaningless."

"I've always had one idea."

"That's how we fought with all our might to defeat strong opponents and get here. Perhaps it's not for the honor of any region, nor is it about sacrifice and reward. Many times, we just want to give our youth an answer."

"Everyone."

"This is our last summer."

11 month 5 day.

The S12 World Championship was held at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.

The game hasn't started yet.

The scene was already bustling with people, and from the entrance, the crowd stretched as far as the eye could see.

Also in the audience.

Many familiar esports players were present, including T1, who were traveling to avoid the limelight, DK, a local team that wasn't particularly strong, and a few scattered individuals.

among them.

The T1 players were somewhat embarrassed.

They tried their best to hide their presence, but the director still managed to find them accurately and magnify them on the big screen.

Their location had been exposed.

Faker and the others simply stopped hiding and sat down casually, waving in response.

In the awkward atmosphere, Keria took the initiative to speak: "I think I see a lot of familiar faces, and the audience here seems very enthusiastic and energetic."

"I really wish it were us standing on that stage sometime," Little Lu Bu sighed.

Just days after losing to V5, T1 had already tacitly agreed to continue with the contract.

That is, keep the lineup and continue playing.

From the perspective of T1's management, they didn't lose to LPL or V5, but simply to Luo Ji's wild ideas.

After the game.

Knowing that his chosen opponent was Zeus, who was both giving orders and laning against him, and who had even suppressed him in lane and solo killed him, he was so devastated that he didn't smile for several days.

Instead, there was an increasingly frantic training and ranked play.

Off-season?
No more rest!
The weak enjoy holidays, while the strong enjoy the plight of the weak.

It's blown up by TM!
"Which side do you think will win today's match?" After finding his seat, Bengi asked the players on his team as he sat down.

"what?"

"Is there even a need to think about it?"

Zeus spoke without hesitation, his tone even a little impatient: "T1 can only lose to the world champion, and can only lose to the world champion. Although Mebius is annoying, his strength is undeniable. Looking at the entire professional scene, only we can defeat him."

Faker was taken aback by what he heard.

After a moment, he nodded knowingly.

Then, turning their gazes to their teammates, the exchange of glances among them confirmed one thing.

really.

Our top laner is a proud and arrogant guy.

He usually seems quite mature, but when it comes to Mebius, his mind races faster than anyone else's.

This year's World Championship.

Its popularity is significantly greater than that of the previous S12.

Luo Ji wasn't some primitive man who never touched the internet. When he saw the internet flooded with discussions about the S-series finals, he realized that this scene didn't seem nearly as crazy as he had in his previous life.

Come to think of it.

Due to the butterfly effect, this is the first LPL team to achieve the Golden Path. The last team to come closest was RNG.

The closest equivalent in Europe and America is G2.
The team that comes closest in the LCK is the one led by Chovy.

That's the gimmick alone.

That's enough to attract viewers who are interested in League of Legends.

【Eight people, step forward!】

[V5 vs. DRX, I'm familiar with this match. I have three strategies to bring LPL back to its former glory: First, shut up Guan Daxiao's mouth; second, break DRX's support BeryL's legs; third, wear down DRX's bot laner Deft. With all three strategies employed, the championship is ours!]

Although Mr. Dai's final dance was very moving, I still think V5 will ultimately win the championship, compared to teams from their own roster.

From being ignored to being surrounded by distinguished guests, V5's resume is actually no less impressive than Mr. Dai's.

If they win today, Holy Gun Bro will probably have earned the title of "Emperor Teacher" by now, right?

Looking at this comment that suddenly appeared on the screen.

As he watched the match, Lao Qiang's lips twitched. Although the name sounded very impressive.

But what does that have to do with him?

Luo Ji rose to prominence because he possessed the talent and was willing to put in the effort, not because of any promotion by others, but because of these unscrupulous media outlets.

That led to his current situation.

Forget about going out for a walk or fishing, even when I go to a public restroom, a former top laner from the youth training program will deliberately come over and pretend to bump into me.

Those eyes, each one yearning for progress.

He even doubted whether they would mind if he asked them to squat in the row of toilets with him.

The person responsible for commentating on the match.

In the finals, the commentary team changed from the three main commentators to Tongxi, Jide, and Miller, banning the unpredictable Guan Daxiao.

It can only be said that the official team understands this; they know you're a jinx, so you might as well not participate.

"I never expected that the same script would be repeated twice at the World Championship." Miller couldn't help but sigh as he watched the powerful atmosphere of the audience on the other side of the screen.

"Indeed, V5's journey this year has not been easy. While winning streaks can boost the team's morale, they can also put a lot of psychological pressure on the players," Ji De added.

"However, today is the final hurdle."

As they chatted...
In the control room, the camera, which was originally focused on the commentator, suddenly switched to another view.
soon.

All viewers in the live stream saw the countdown to the opening ceremony of the S12 World Championship, followed by the playing of the theme song.

The theme song for S12.

It's arguably the most criticized one in recent years, and it's also jokingly called "Thank You Dad for Not Using a Condom." In short, its political undertones are extremely subtle, and it completely lacks the epic feel of S7's "Legend Never Dies."

It doesn't feel as good as fluffing cotton.

[Is this some kind of dark humor? Hajime-kun, you bastard.]

This art style is so ahead of its time! My grandpa just walked by and asked if I was watching a horror movie.

Putting everything else aside, it's undeniably "correct" in its accuracy, but it's also undeniably live singing, so the singer definitely has the talent.

On being inhuman.

Riot Games has obviously done a lot of bad things.

In terms of stage atmosphere alone, only the League of Legends World Championship Finals can create such a massive spectacle in the world of esports.

Especially when paired with an LCS (League of Legends) host.

Whether it's the narrator or the host, the English broadcast is always full of passion and enthusiasm.

It's not just because of esports, but also because this is San Francisco, California, the home of the NBA's Golden State Warriors.

Amid cheers from the host.

It was also amidst the enthusiastic anticipation of more than 18000 audience members.

at last.

The team members from both sides entered the stage one by one, and their appearance immediately drew cheers and attention from the audience.

This is Luo Ji's first time appearing on the S-series finals stage.

Look into the eyes.

The stage was a vast, surging mass of black heads, a truly spectacular sight. Amidst the overwhelming cheers, my adrenaline began to surge involuntarily.

However.
at this time.

It was at that moment when all the V5 players stood still on the stage.

The audience seats have changed.

At first, it was just a few faint red sparks that flickered occasionally in the deep, sea-like audience seats.

In a blink of an eye.

Like a fuse being lit.

The points of light quickly connected and responded to each other, like the embers of a wildfire suddenly awakened by the wind.

The red light quickly spread from point to area, and from point to area, until finally, this crimson ocean filled nearly a third of the audience seating area.

One after another, familiar skin tones cheered and jumped for joy, and one after another, black and red flags representing V5's support colors were raised from the audience and waved incessantly.

When their own children are upholding the reputation of the entire competition area.

They were the audience.

Although we can't offer them any help on the field, we will absolutely not let our children suffer any injustice off the field.

The emotions of the Chinese people have always been reserved, yet full of passion.

After V5's official Weibo video was released, there wasn't much discussion online because everyone was taking action to make up for it.

When everyone's goals are aligned.

Change has occurred.

A sea of ​​red flowers bloomed perfectly at the Chase Center Arena, demonstrating their message to the V5 players on stage.

Heroes never walk alone!
