You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 67 Career first battle!

The bus was still moving forward. During this special period, everyone tried to reduce travel as much as possible, so the traffic was not congested.

Hongmi also sat down next to Mingjing and asked, "The competition is about to start, how do you feel?"

The moment they debuted, they were in the World Championship, and this psychological pressure was enough to overwhelm many players.

"Not bad." Ming Jing nodded with a smile: "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to playing in the game."

"That's good!" Hongmi patted Mingjing's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry about outside opinions. We have a good chance of winning this battle!"

The teams have played a lot of cross-training matches recently, and the JDG players also understand their approximate level of strength.

Admittedly, they still have a lot of problems. For example, the mid laner "Yagua" is a bit shaky and often invisible. The jungler Kanavi is prone to occasional malfunctions. The top and support play is too stable and mediocre, and they lack the ability to open up the situation in adversity. The bottom lane is still not well-coordinated.
At first glance, there are some problems in every position.

But... so what? The World Championship has a full month to fix the problems, and the other teams are not perfect either.

They definitely have the potential to compete for the championship!

The bus soon arrived downstairs of the venue, and Mingjing followed the team forward, going all the way up.

It was Mingjing's first time playing in a competition, so he seemed a little nervous. He could only follow his teammates and imitate them. He first verified the identity of the players, and then gave his peripherals to the staff for inspection.

After the examination, people from the LPL actually found him and did a pre-match interview.

But it is reasonable. After all, Ming Jing is a complete newcomer. In order to ensure that the audience will not be blindly aware of the situation, Ming Jing still needs to be given some exposure.

After completing the whole process, Ming Jing finally sat in the lounge with his teammates.

"Top Esports' game should be almost over, right?" Lvmao activated the live broadcast screen in the locker room as he spoke, "Let's see how it goes."

"Is there still a need to watch Top Esports' games?" Zoom wasn't interested. "Once I open it, it's bound to be another victory."

This is true.

Although Top Esports' form is unstable and the gap between its upper and lower limits is huge, it has not fallen to the point of losing to the third seed of Europe.

As soon as I opened it, I saw that the game had entered the late stage. The TES players had already stepped on the big dragon buff and led their troops into the high ground. The game was about to end.

"Get ready to play, brothers." Lan Boqing came to the scene specifically with the team this time. He watched the scene of TES's flat push and called out, "Fight well, everyone! Top Esports won, so we can't lose!"

"GOGOGO!"

"Get a win first and secure second place in the group first!"

All the contestants stood up, picked up their peripherals, and prepared to compete.

In terms of World Championship experience, the other members of JDG are actually no different from Ming Jing. They are all pure rookies who have never entered the World Championship, so they are all looking forward to the upcoming games.

Loken also stood up at this moment and saw his teammates out of the locker room.

No one noticed that Loken's expression was quite complicated at this moment.

He didn't even know how to approach the next game.

From a team perspective, he certainly wanted the team to win. After going through so much trouble to get to Worlds, everyone wanted to win in the end.

But from a personal perspective, that's not necessarily the case.
In the LPL event live broadcast room.

After a brief commercial break, the camera switched back to the commentary booth.

The commentators of this game, Wawa, Guan Zeyuan and 957, had been waiting for a long time and started the pre-match warm-up session.

"Hello everyone, welcome back!" Wawa shouted. "This is the 2020 World Championship group stage, JDG vs. MCX! We can see that the players from both teams have entered the arena and are making final preparations for the match!"

The camera was also specifically given to Mingjing's screen at this moment, and it could be seen that Mingjing had opened a training mode alone and was adjusting the image quality in the game.

Ming Jing is really particular about the image quality, and all images are set to the lowest setting.
There's no way around it. This was a habit developed by the early players when playing on old consoles. Back then, computers were really broken, and the mouse and keyboard were all twenty-dollar Double Flying Swallows that they had used for several years. If you didn't adjust the image quality to the lowest, you couldn't play at all with the frame rate.

Although I later replaced them with better ones, I never changed the screen settings that I was used to.

But it’s also good to have a simpler picture, with fewer distractions, allowing Mingjing to focus more on what’s in front of him.

Looking at Ming Jing's handsome profile, Wawa couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, Phi is probably one of the most talked-about players lately, right? After all, he's the youngest player in this year's World Championship!"

Apart from Mingjing, the youngest players are SN's top laner Bin and DRX's support Keria. Both of them are just over seventeen years old. They have made it to the World Championship at such a young age. I believe that both of them will be the mainstays of the region in the future.

But compared with Ming Jing, the two are still half a year behind.

Ming Jing, who was born on April 8, 2004, is only 16 years and five months old, which is almost extremely young!

"I'm quite impressed with this player," Colonel Guan said with a smile. "I was the commentator for the youth training camp's player meeting a while ago. I remember every club voted for this player, and all of them offered a maximum bid of 500,000! I felt at the time that this player would soon reach the top tier."

Wawa couldn't help but laugh and said, "But you probably didn't expect that he would appear in the World Championship in a month, right?"

957, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "No one would have thought of this, right?"

Speaking of the topic of age, 957 even felt a little sad. He was once a professional player and even reached the semi-finals with WE in the S7 season, but unfortunately lost to the champion of that year.

But when he really started to get involved in the professional league, he had already graduated from college at the age of 21.

In the S7 season, when he entered the World Championship for the first time, he was already 24 years old.

He always felt that if he could have entered the industry a few years earlier, when he was at his youngest, perhaps his career would have been very different.

Now, seeing a 16-year-old boy entering the World Championship so early, 957 can only sigh and envy.

Colonel Guan shook his head helplessly. "But honestly, like everyone here, I'm still a little worried. After all, he's going straight to Worlds and hasn't even been tested in the LPL yet. His true level is still a question mark!"

"Yes." Wawa also nodded: "So, the game in front of us is the best test opportunity! Whether it is a mule or a horse, we will know after this game!"

There were countless discussions in the live broadcast room at this time. Although many people were optimistic about Ming Jing and looked forward to Ming Jing's performance, more people expressed doubts.

It is not difficult to imagine the kind of criticism Ming Jing would receive if he lost the game.

Everyone was chatting when the scene suddenly changed and the BP panel came on!
