Chapter 234 The Flying General of Dragon City Intimidates Europe, Pandora's Box Opens Awaiting an End to the War

9 month 19 day.

The hotel where the FNC team members are staying.

Everyone is sitting in front of their computers right now, reviewing yesterday's match between WE.A and NJWS.

“This Zhou Li is terrifying. If he plays like this in today’s match, I will definitely ask the referee to stop the match and check his equipment.”

My sister-in-law muttered to herself.

"Is it possible that the referee didn't even need to check? He was just standing behind the other person. If the full map was displayed, wouldn't the referee be able to see him?"

Cyanide spoke with a dark expression.

Hearing her friend say that she was playing jungle, her sister-in-law burst into laughter.

"Cyanide, you're being a bit too serious. I was obviously joking. It seems you're under a lot of pressure."

Their match against WE.A will begin at 5 PM today.

In yesterday's match, this European and American powerhouse team unexpectedly lost to LMQ, the third seed from North America, an all-Chinese team.

Now, they are about to face WE.A, the team that is predicted to be the strongest in the group. The pressure on the entire FNC team is immense.

The entire team is visibly tense right now.

Only my sister-in-law, who is so resilient to stress, has developed an extraordinary mindset when playing games and still appears very cheerful.

Seeing that Cyanide was unmoved by her teasing, the sister-in-law turned her attention to the support player, YellowStar.

"YellowStar, have you thought about what you're going to say during the interview? You were the one who argued the most with Zhou Li back then."

YellowStar's face darkened.

He is a French citizen of Korean descent.

But he has always wanted to return to South Korea to play professional games. After all, although the e-sports industry in Europe is also developing well, it is still not as good as South Korea. Of course, there is also a sense of national identity at play.

YellowStar didn't speak up when Zhou Li initially said, "Everyone here is trash." It wasn't until Zhou Li got into an argument with NJWS's second brother and fans that YellowStar stepped in and appropriately showed his Korean side.

In order to perform well in front of his fellow countrymen, YellowStar has been spending a lot of time online these past few days and has interacted with Zhou Li the most among all the contestants in Group A.

Seeing YellowStar's expression, his sister-in-law immediately picked up her phone and started reading aloud.

"@Zhou Li, I hope you can come to our bottom lane more often during the game. I'll make sure you, you little noob, never come back."

He was halfway through reading when his eyes lit up.

Hey! He replied to you! Just five minutes ago, he sent you an OK!

Upon hearing his sister-in-law's words, the first person to rush forward to verify was not YellowStar, but rather the ADC player Rekkles.

Upon seeing the two large OK signs, Ou Cheng couldn't help but cover his head in his hands.

"Oh my god! You're going to get us all in big trouble!"

Seeing Ou Cheng's frustrated expression, YellowStar felt somewhat helpless.

Who knew this kid was so ridiculously strong?

Although they had studied WE.A before, it was, after all, an internal league competition.

Furthermore, the age of WE.A players is something that makes many teams underestimate them.

This is the first time a sixteen or seventeen-year-old has participated in a world competition.

It's important to understand that on the world stage, players' performance is largely influenced by their mindset.

Who would have thought that these kids, like newborn calves unafraid of tigers, would perfectly embody the image of reckless youths and immediately shatter the Korean team?

"I think it will be difficult for us to beat WE.A with just our individual skills. Perhaps we should bring out our big moves in advance," xpeke suggested.

"Are they going to unleash their ultimate weapon in the group stage?"

"Why not? We have many plans prepared; right now, we need to at least secure this point."

Four fifty in the afternoon.

The cheers from the audience helped the sleepy Zhou Li regain some of his composure.

Nami suffered from diarrhea and exhaustion again last night, so Zhou Li, as the team owner, had to take her to the hospital.

Although he had always known about the curse of beef noodles, he never imagined it would be this terrifying.

Because of this, Zhu Kai was unable to cook for the contestants.

As a chef serving three emperors, Zhou Li was still somewhat unaccustomed to Zhu Kai's absence.

His stomach has become somewhat spoiled by Zhu Kai.

The other team members, especially Wangzai and Sima Laozei, who had been missing Zhu Kai's meals for just one day, had returned to their emaciated state.

Zhou Li even began to suspect that Zhu Kai might have added technology to the food.

Actually, the player in the best form today was Khan, who was rotated out of the game.

Because monkeys can live happily simply by eating bananas.

Secondly, there's Flandre, who was energized by the competition.

"Brother Zhou, you can rest assured and let me capture you. If I die once on the road, you can send me straight to see a nuclear explosion!"

“That’s great,” Sima the Old Thief said coldly. “When we fly to Seoul, we can pack your things and bring them over on the way.”

"Did I even speak to you? Why are you everywhere I go?!"

"I just can't stand people who show off."

"Brother Zhou, that old scoundrel Sima went to bed without washing his hair yesterday."

"You fucking... Brother Zhou, Brother Holy Gun fired a gun yesterday."

"how do you know!"

"I'm talking nonsense."

Fortunately, everyone was young, and after a few jokes, they quickly perked up.

"Sima, you old scoundrel, get serious today! That guy on the other side, who's some kind of idiot, dared to insult our Brother Zhou. We have to teach him a lesson today!"

"I take every day very seriously."

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere on WE.A's side, the five members of FNC had a rather solemn and serious demeanor.

After discussing it in the morning, they decided to unleash their ultimate weapon on the second day of the group stage!
"Viewers watching the live stream! You are now watching the second day of the group stage of the 2014 League of Legends World Championship! The two teams facing off are WE.A Esports Club from our LPL and FNC Esports Club from the European region! I am your commentator, Miller!"

"I'm the commentator, Waa!"

"I'm Bella, the commentator!"

In the commentary booth, Miller excitedly began:

"WE.A has two matches today. The first one is against FNC right now, and the next one is against LMQ at 8 o'clock. Bella, what do you think the outcome of today's match between the two sides will be?"

Upon hearing Miller's words, Bella spoke up:

"I still support WE.A to win, but WE.A needs to be a little careful in today's match. Because we know that FNC is a veteran European team, having won the S1 World Championship! And their members all have a lot of experience in major tournaments!"

"Moreover, it's worth mentioning that what people often talk about about FNC is their unpredictable and imaginative tactics. Sometimes, when they suddenly come out, it can be really hard to defend against! So WE.A still needs to be careful in this match today!"
