LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 113 Knight: I told you to call Chicken Nick over here!
After being settled in by Brother Hu, Gala arrived at the training room where a seat had been reserved for him.

"Gala, Adi is right next to you. He's a really nice guy. If you have any problems, just ask Gnik. Remember to pack your things tonight. You're going to the MSC in Shanghai with the team tomorrow!"

LGD had already made the deal for Gala. The MSC schedule is quite tight, so having Gala with the team is probably just to let him experience the intensity of high-level matches.

Gala nodded, then secretly glanced at Di Wu next to her from her seat.
This is why Gnik didn't face LGD, who had Gnik, in the Spring Split.

However, just looking at the playoffs, it's clear that his presence brought about a qualitative change for LGD.

That's also the biggest reason why I chose LGD!

Di Wu got up and walked to the refrigerator, handing a can of cola to Gala: "Don't be so tense, our LGD team is all about relaxation!"

Gala only came to her senses when she felt the coldness of the cola can.
"Thanks, bro!"

"Hmm, keep it up! And one more thing..."

“You can smile more!” Di Wu patted Gala on the shoulder.

Gala nodded silently. "Smile more?"

Gala's lips twitched slightly, and her perpetually bitter expression twitched as well.
"Forget it, Ga Zi! Just stick to your cold-blooded killer persona!"

Looking at the smile on Gala's face, which was more like a grimace, Di Wu shook his head. Sure enough, she could only have a genuine smile when helping her brother.

Is it just my imagination? ADC players do seem to have quite large heads?
Why does it feel like LGD has more players now? The training room is busier than ever.

This feels a bit like the style of Top Esports from 22?

With so many players on LGD's team, they're already good enough to debut!
LGD48! Fighting!

Di Wu trembled. "Please don't!"

22, the darkest moment for LPL! The darkest moment for Top Esports!
Impossible, absolutely impossible. I will never let LGD repeat the mistakes of Top Esports.

The next day!

The MSC tournament has officially kicked off, and the four LCK teams have all arrived in Shanghai, making this tournament somewhat of a home game for the LPL.

Moreover, this tournament selected the top four teams from both regions, which fans jokingly referred to as the Spring Split revival tournament.

The progress of this competition also delayed the online criticism of Di Wu. You won the Spring Split finals, but you can't keep winning forever, right?
Right now, all the LGD haters are waiting for LGD to lose the game, and they're waiting to gather on all the major platforms to bombard Diwu.

However, Di Wu didn't care about this. The first day of the MSC tournament was the round-robin tournament in Group A, where the four teams would take turns playing against the other three teams. The winners and losers would be decided in one day, and only the top two teams in the group could advance.

None of the four teams are mediocre; who advances depends entirely on their performance and skills on the day.

Almost all the players who were scheduled to compete the next day chose to watch the game offline. LGD's team was even larger, and you might have thought it was some kind of team building event.

"Wow? Is that Chicken Bro?"

"Oh! Bro Chicken, Bro Chicken, I love you~"

"Brother Chicken, I've been your fan for ten years!"

The LGD players were seated at the venue and were greeted by many enthusiastic fans.

After taking a group photo and exchanging greetings, Di Wu sat down next to Flandre: "Thankfully, I didn't run into anyone who had a bounty on my head today!"

Flandre almost choked on the cola she had just drunk.
"That's how it is, you'll have to get used to it!"

Online is online, and offline is offline!
After taking a group photo offline, I posted on my WeChat Moments, "Offline solo kill in the chicken area, so satisfying~~~"

The first day of MSC matches started quickly, but before the matches, the director focused the camera on the audience.

First up is the LGD team, who just won the Spring Split finals. Di Wu's white hair made him quite noticeable in the crowd. He waved at the camera and held up a small banner that read "Go Top Esports!"

"Oh? Gnik, LGD is here too."

The commentator had barely finished speaking when the camera on the big screen switched to the IG team. That's right, it wasn't just LGD who were present; IG, DRX, and GEN were also there!

The teams competing tomorrow have all come to the venue to watch today's matches.

With the teams on the field, it's truly a world of its own in League of Legends esports.

The first match is between FPX and T1!

When T1 appeared, especially when Faker walked onto the stage, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

However, Faker is no longer the boy he once was. He didn't choose to enter the arena with a forward roll, but instead appeared very low-key.

In the first game, Teddy taught LWX a lesson right away. In the jungle, Xiaotian's jungle carry play was still as good as ever, and T1 won easily.

Faker was a guest in the interview booth. When the host asked Faker which team he most wanted to face in this MSC, he replied...
"LGD!"

Faker almost immediately said LGD.

"They won the LPL championship, so I still want to play against the strongest team!" You mean you want to play against the strongest team?
Di Wu, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but shake his head. Sang Hyeok, what a little scheme of yours!
The subsequent matches were also very intense, but when did Top Esports earn the title of "Brother"? This question has also been answered by Korean netizens!

The match between TES and DWG produced an ultimate moment: Knight's LeBlanc, along with Yuumi, single-handedly outplayed DWG, leaving them completely bewildered.

During the match between TES and T1, an extremely malicious "rat man flashing a rat" incident occurred!
Di Wu, sitting on the sidelines, was so angry he almost laughed. Damn it, he even wanted to get Zuo Shou off the court and go up there himself for a fight.

However, Knight's performance in this game was also quite outstanding. He used his signature Ekko against Faker's Azir and stepped on Azir at the crucial moment to kill him.

The situation at T1 immediately deteriorated, with the TES players surrounding T1's fountain and flashing their marks.

With this loss, coupled with their previous defeat to DWG, their group stage record is now 1-2, meaning they are eliminated without needing a tiebreaker.

TES and FPX advance from Group A to the MSC knockout stage!
The T1 manager, watching the game from home, could hardly believe what he was seeing. No...
I've been eliminated!?
Faker's post-match interview, plus Canna's Twitch pick against TES.
Oh no! T1 is going to get a lot of damage from this boomerang!
The GEN and DRX players watching from the sidelines that day wore incredibly painful expressions.
Only Deft calmly shook his head. T1 and DWG were full of confidence when they left for Shanghai. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
They come all the way to Shanghai, only to play a game for one day and then go home?
How about we have dinner with the LCK teams later? That way, we'll have been here!
The group stage ended that day, and the interview included Knight, the mid-laner for TES, who finished first in their group.

MSC really boosted his confidence, and he smiled more in front of the camera.

The host asked the same question that had been asked of Faker before, and Knight just smiled and said, "As for the goal, let's get revenge on LGD!"

"I'll let Gnik know why I'm in the starting lineup!"

Knight was secretly still competing with himself. He had just beaten Faker as the mid laner. How dare you call yourself number one? I am number one!

The Spring Split finals were just LGD getting lucky; they stole the championship while TES was in poor form.

You can tell from his appearance that Knight is more determined than he was during the finals.

The official live chat is completely flooded with comments.

"Knight: Call Nick over here! I'm telling you, call Nick over here!!"

"Did you use my T1 as a power bank?"

"Hahahaha, all I can say is... Top Esports is back!"

"The Sailors' Team Sets Sail Again!!"

"It's time to show you what the real Top Esports era is all about!"

The match had barely ended when compilations of screams from various Korean streamers during TES's matches against DWG and T1 began circulating across major online forums.

The name "Top Bo Bro" gradually began to spread, and at this moment, everyone would think
This is the beginning of TES's legend! Or, in a sense, this is indeed the beginning of TES's legend.

The teams competing on the second day left the venue early.

"The boss booked a pretty good shop for us, it should be about time now, right?" Mai Zijian glanced at her watch.

The LGD team members arrived outside the venue to hail a taxi for dinner.

They have a match tomorrow, so they need to get some rest early to maintain their good condition.

There are only six matches a day, and each one is a best-of-one (BO1). You have to be absolutely focused on winning or losing. If you lose like T1 and go home, that would be a problem.
This is utterly hopeless! At least until the Summer Split arrives, Di Wu's reputation will be roasted on a hot iron.

Mai Zijian glanced at Di Wu, who was about to buy grilled starch sausages at the stall. How could this kid be so calm?

Tomorrow's competition will determine more than just the outcome of the match!
"Huh? What are you doing? What do you mean?!"

A sudden commotion erupted outside a charming little shop near the venue, startling the LGD players, who then gathered around to investigate.

Di Wu picked up a grilled starch sausage and was naturally drawn to a noisy commotion. This is probably the gossipy spirit that is ingrained in the Chinese people.
Ok?
Relying on the butterfly gliding technique he had honed since childhood, he squeezed his way to the front of the crowd. Only then could Di Wu see clearly that a middle-aged woman was leading a small boy.
The boy might not be familiar to the others watching, but he was quite familiar to the boy himself!
"Wait, wait, what's wrong, Auntie? Let me come and settle this for you!"

As soon as Di Wu approached, the auntie seized the opportunity and cried out with a wronged expression, "It was him! He took my things, opened the packaging, and refused to pay! I couldn't understand a word he was saying!"

what?
Di Wu paused for a moment, looking at the boy whose face was flushed. It was clear that the child was frightened by being watched like this in a foreign country and in such a tense situation.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll pay for him first!" Di Wu shook his head and took out his phone to help the boy scan the code.

Only then did the aunt let go of the boy standing beside her, who was stammering and unable to utter a single word, his face flushed red.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse!" Di Wu waved his hand, walked over to the small man, and took out his translation software.

"Come with me! You should know Han Wanghu, right?"

Upon hearing that familiar name, the boy looked up and recognized the white-haired man in front of him!

The champion player and FMVP of the LPL finals a few days ago, the mid laner of LGD.
Gnik! ?
"Gnik, bro!"

Huh? You know me?
Di Wu originally thought that by bringing out Peanut's name, these younger LCK players would definitely recognize him, but he didn't expect that Peanut would actually know him.
Did I not realize I was already this famous?
"Don't worry, Minxi, I've already paid for it! Let's go!"

Five years from now, almost everyone who watches the game will recognize the young man in front of them!

That's right, the young man in front of us is none other than Keria, who has just begun to show his talent. In fact, he has already won the LCK Best Rookie award in the Spring Split.

However, almost no domestic audiences recognize Keria, who has just debuted; at most, they know him as Deft's support.
