Chapter 153 "The spinning top will eventually be whipped up!" (Two chapters combined, 6k views)

"Let's congratulate LGD! They've won another game, and are now leading SN 2-0."

Ultimately, after 26 minutes, LGD gave SN no further chances.

They ended the game in one go, taking a 2-0 lead.

This match also exposed Bin's final lie.

Just kidding, even if you get the weapon you can't win. That reputation score thing is just awful.

Back in the lounge, Bin kept his head down, while Chashao patted him on the shoulder.

He could see Bin's talent, but...

There's no way around it; perhaps it's not the right time yet.

"There's still one left!"

Bin slowly raised his head, and his eyes met Di Wu's MVP official photo.

Before Cha Shao could even offer Bin a few more words of comfort, Bin had already stood up.

"There are many more matches waiting for us to win. Forget this one! Forget the previous losses, and treat every match as a best-of-one!"

Bin not only wasn't too affected emotionally, but he also encouraged his teammates.

???

Even Chashao was stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, at this stage of the competition, young players like Bin are fine in lane, but they get caught out and outplayed in team fights. This should be quite mentally taxing for young players.

How come Bin is recovering so quickly?
Char Siu nodded excitedly, showing how quickly he could adjust his mindset in the face of adversity.

That's a talent that professional players possess! Bin is quite talented in this area.

"Let's keep purple for the next match! I think we have a good chance this time!"

Bin's quick adjustment brought new vitality to SN and also rekindled the fighting spirit of his teammates.

Stepping onto the stage once again, Bin still held his head high, even though he might not be able to beat Gnik today.
One day, one day I will stand on the highest stage! I will avenge today's humiliation!

I am still young and have many opportunities.

But at that moment, he had only one thought.

Chicken Bro said before the competition that he wanted to have a great time!

Go and please me!

"We at least have to make Brother Chicken happy today, right?"

Bin narrowed his eyes slightly; SN was on the purple side again in this match.

He can also take Flandre's counter-pick role, and he has already figured out Flandre's hero pool and gameplay.

I am the natural counter to so-called team top laners!

You like teams, right?

Bin's position as a counter-position isn't necessarily a disadvantage.
but.
In the third game, LGD locked Ornn directly for Flandre.
Bin's eyes cleared up, and a strange sense of destiny, or perhaps something ingrained in Bin's bones, welled up within him.

He was clearly the trash hero in my heart, the hero I looked down on the most.

But Bin suddenly had a strange feeling that he might have many connections with Ornn in the future?
But you're going to get a beating from Bin for just Ornn?
However, this third match was still achieved despite SN's players having adjusted their mentality quite well.

Bin pulled out his Captain and wanted to draw Flandre, but it's clear that LGD won't play with SN this time.

Diwu also defeated Galio to defeat Angle's Orianna.

When Di Wu gets this kind of tempo-oriented hero, and you still can't contain him in the mid lane.

The base is about to start smoking!

After a fierce battle lasting thirty minutes, LGD easily won the final match.

Bin looked at the word "failure" in front of him.
He looked up at Di Wu, who was full of vigor and confidence on the opposite battle stage.

Still can't do it?

Di Wu seemed to sense Bin's gaze and gave him a healthy smile.

The sun is impartial to everyone; its light shines equally on each person.

Bin, feeling the sun rise once again, lowered his head and sneered, "3-0?"
Sorry, I don't remember!

Next, SN will go to the gauntlet to try and qualify for the World Championship!
After a brief exchange of greetings and handshakes with the SN players, the LGD players returned to the arena to pack up their peripherals.

The director's camera started with Flandre and moved past each of the LGD players one by one.

Flandre wasn't in particularly good form today, and she also sensed Bin's sharp talent; this chubby guy wasn't just all talk.

Peanut gave Faker the same thumbs-up!

The moment the camera focused on Di Wu, the audience erupted in cheers.

"Brother Chicken!! Magic tricks are outdated, let me show you a transformation!"

"A true lion should stand on a table and look down upon everything!"

"Great! Fans are getting more and more demanding!"

"Transform? You really think my Chicken Bro is Optimus Prime?"

Faced with such enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Di Wu clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to thank the audience for their support.

Subsequently
He patted his shoulder lightly, as if to say something.
"It's just SN, they didn't even put up their full strength!"

"The hem of my clothes is slightly dirty!!!"

On the other side of the second route, Lao K smiled with satisfaction upon seeing this scene.

As he laughed, a sense of loneliness crept into K's heart.
LGD has qualified for the World Championship!

The little brother who was by my side last year has now grown to a level that I can no longer reach!

Flandre has spent so many years in the LPL and has finally made it to the World Championship.

To be honest, Lau even fantasized that if he had endured two more years, would he have had the same opportunity as Flandre?
"Sigh! Life..."

Perhaps, now is the time for young people to take the stage.

Especially seeing Bin's performance in the LPL this year.

If I stay on the field and don't leave, I'm afraid the young people will spin me around like crazy.

K is too old; it's no longer enough for him to continue in this industry.

Inside JDG's base, the 3-0 scoreline was glaringly obvious, yet it wasn't too far off from their pre-match predictions.

"LGD is in the finals? We'll face TES in the next round!"

Hongmi's expression was slightly serious, perhaps because LGD had been too dazzling in the league.

This prevented everyone from seeing the strength of TES.

The two teams in the MSC finals actually have a lot in common.

The designers' summer split patch also targeted two teams, with Troll Warlord being nerfed so badly that the jungle meta shifted towards a jungle carry meta.

However, as an experienced jungler who debuted as a jungle carry, Peanut's impact on the version changes is not significant.

Karsa is having a tough time, as he doesn't play Graves or Lillia.

However, with the Sailor duo, TES is still one of the strongest teams in the LPL.

JDG has no way out. If they lose, they'll have to go through the gauntlet; if they win, there's still a sliver of hope!
Below the main stage, the post-match interview session quickly followed, and Di Wu, who won MVP in two of the three matches, naturally became the first choice for the home crowd interview.

"Welcome everyone to the post-match interview! Hello everyone! I'm your host, Xiran! Next to me is Gnik from the LGD team. Please say hello to everyone!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Gnik!"

Di Wu exchanged a few simple greetings with the audience.

With a smile, Xi Ran continued, "Congratulations again to LGD for winning this BO5 match, and another 3-0 victory! How does Gnik feel about his performance today?"

"As for performance?"

"It was alright, I guess? Because I initially thought we'd be playing against IG, so I didn't really prepare much for the match against SN!"

Hearing this, Lao Ran, who was standing next to him, kept her composure and controlled her expression. Di Wu's words almost made the IG fans who had booked tickets in advance break down.

He's such a great interviewer!

"you"

"Wait, buddy? You mean you avenged IG, and we should thank you?"

"Laoran is definitely in cahoots with Gnik, see you in the supertopic!"

IG: Thanks for the invitation, we're in the gauntlet! It doesn't really matter whether we go to Worlds or not!

Xi Ran quickly picked up the thread: "Which game did Gnik play the best?"

Today, apart from losing the MVP award to GALA in the first game, Di Wu won the MVP award in the next two games.

What was supposed to be a question that required careful consideration, Di Wu blurted out almost immediately: "Next round!"

hiss!?

Xi Ran had seen many interviews with contestants, but Di Wu's smooth answer still surprised her for a moment.

It feels like the teams in the finals are in trouble.
"The next round, JDG will face TES to determine your final opponent. There's still some time before the finals. What preparations will LGD make?"

After a moment's thought, Di Wu said confidently, "Since we've already secured a spot in the World Championship, we might try a few more things!"

"However, our primary goal is still to win the championship! The difference between playing JDG and TES in the finals is not significant, so there's no special preparation!"

???

Are they all about the same?
Damn it! Your next match is the LPL finals, not their regional championship.

I don't know why, but as the World Championship approaches, LGD still maintains such an optimistic attitude, which makes Lao Ran somewhat worried.

The chat in the official live stream room has exploded.

"That's what that chubby kid said five years ago!"

"Hey, you can be optimistic in the LPL, but that won't apply at Worlds, you know?"

"I have a feeling we're going to have to play against Top Esports again?"

"The things that Senior Yue and Junior Yu Tao had to tell us!"

"TES: I also have a reason to win! I must go to the finals and see Senior Le!"

Xi Ran then asked, "Since LGD has already qualified for the World Championship, I'd like to ask in advance if there are any opponents you'd like to face in this World Championship?"

The LPL region started its season relatively late, while the neighboring European region has almost finished, and the LCK and LPL are not far behind in terms of progress.

In the LCK, T1 was forced into the gauntlet, and the coaching staff's decision not to give Faker a starting spot caused T1 to miss the opportunity to advance directly to the playoffs.

Fortunately, their Spring Split points were high enough that they had a chance to play in the gauntlet.

Di Wu couldn't help but recall the person wearing glasses who shouted...
A genius mid laner who will "rebuild the glory of LCK".

"We'll see. We haven't had time to research our opponents in the World Championship yet!" Di Wu gave a slightly reassuring answer for his fans.

Optimism is fine in the LPL, but we need to be more serious when it comes to the World Championship!
The World Championship is the most important competition of the year. If LGD is eliminated early in this event, the boomerang of public opinion will once again overwhelm them.

Why say goodbye?
On the Huya platform, DeWei was secretly watching LGD's match.

Seeing LGD advance to the World Championship once again made him feel quite gratified, especially since he had known Di Wu for so long.

You can also tell that Di Wu is a player who is somewhat abstract and playful, but will never be ambiguous about the competition.

"Go for it, Lao Ji!"

"The World Championship is the real stage!"

In the player passage at the Hangzhou venue, Di Wu and Flando also came to SN's rest room to greet Sofm.

"Good luck in the bubble tournament!" All Flandre could do was wish Sofm the best in his upcoming matches.

SN's explosive growth this year was something most people didn't expect, and they can be considered a dark horse that suddenly emerged from the LPL.

Sofm is experiencing a resurgence, reminiscent of his former days as a bandit leader.

"Let's give it a shot!" Sofm said, somewhat helplessly.

There's nothing we can do; we can't compete with LGD at all. We only have a tiny bit of hope against TES or JDG.

Bin, who was standing next to Di Wu, came up to him.

Bin and Di Wu exchanged a glance. He might have wanted to say something, but he might have forgotten.

After pausing for a while, Bin only left one sentence.

"I will definitely come back!"

???

You... Di Wu couldn't help but cough as he heard these unfamiliar yet familiar lines.

"I have a feeling you'll say that next time too!"

The last person who said this keeps saying the same thing every time they come back.
It's okay, every time Bin sees Chicken Nick, he forgets that he once said that!

And so began the story of Bin and Lao Ji!

After this round of semifinals, the only possibility for TES to lose their World Championship spot is if JDG wins two consecutive matches in the remaining games.

This is quite difficult, but for TES, the pressure in this semi-final is not very high.

Even if they lose, there's a high probability that LGD will help them clean up the mess. In this battle, they truly fought to the bitter end!

In the end, Top Esports emerged slightly stronger, securing the other spot in the finals and guaranteeing his place in this year's World Championship.

Karsa stood up and shouted with immense excitement!

This year's TES, although not as formidable as RNG back then, is definitely one of the top contenders for the championship.

Karsa is already this age, especially after RNG missed out on him once.

This feeling intensified for him; this year, this very year, might be his last chance to compete for the world championship.

He looked at the spirited Knight beside him and the promising young JKL.

We at Top Esports are the right five people!

In JDG's lounge, Redmi was extremely frustrated.

Although they only lost 2-3 to TES, the gap in skill level seemed significant.
It's clear that the quality of the toothpaste is inferior to Knight's; in the battle between the two Pingxiang mid-laners, Knight still comes out on top.

Even Knight's potential has increased significantly.

If you can't get Gnik, Knight is also a great option!

Knight, who was in the interview booth, had a significantly different mindset when facing LGD again this time.

When Luo Xin asked again, "Are you facing LGD again in the finals? Do you have any goals or anything you'd like to say?"

As soon as Knight picked up the microphone, he immediately recalled the scenes from the MSC finals.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the truth was that he couldn't mark Di Wu, and it seemed that he was the one who was marked by Di Wu instead.

"I hope both sides can put on a great match!"

Knight's statement was more conservative, and he no longer implied that he wanted "Chicken Nick" to come over.

"You've become a coward?"

In the TES winner's interview, Knight clearly lacked confidence.

In a final showdown between two strong teams, whoever falters will fall behind from the very beginning.

Between the semi-finals and the finals, the organizers did not give the two teams much rest time, and they quickly began participating in various recordings for this year's finals.

Especially the trash talk segment!
As familiar faces who have already clashed in trash talk during the Spring Split, the organizers specially closed the trash talk show for a week this time, just so that the recording of this trash talk could have something that the audience would like to watch!
The moment the two teams of players sat facing each other at the official recording studio!
The tension is palpable. TES lost their first two BO5 matches to LGD, and this time, they're here for revenge.

"I think playing against LGD is alright, right? If we hold on, Flandre will just feed the enemy!" 369 is like an appetizer; his firepower isn't exactly fierce, but it's still quite aggressive.

Just as Flandre was about to say something, TES continued their offensive output without stopping.

The main point of the TES team is that they are all LPL brothers. 369 has already fired, and his teammates naturally follow up with quick shots.

Karsa: "Peanut lost his job in the LCK last year, and this year I'll take away his job in the LPL too!"

Knight: "##@!!#**#**(!!"

JKL: "GALA doesn't really have anything to say, right? His signature champion has my ID on it, doesn't it?"

hiss! !

Aside from what Knght didn't quite understand, the brother and Karsa's remarks were absolutely explosive.

Even Di Wu's lips curled up slightly.
To be honest, because of the complaints about the Spring Split's cafeteria, he didn't expect the trash talk to be this intense today!

But after TES started firing one by one, he understood.
It's time! It's time to give Top Bo a good whack!

Di Wu silently stood up.
???

Even the staff next to him didn't expect Di Wu to pull such a stunt. What was he trying to do?
But the director quickly waved his hand, saying that this segment was meant to let the contestants improvise, and then they would "maliciously edit" it.

If there's no tension in the pre-match trash talk, is it even pre-match trash talk?

Di Wu walked up to 369 and conjured a white business card out of thin air.

"It's okay, 36! I've already arranged a psychologist for you after the finals! Don't worry, I trust Brother Hao will reimburse you!"

???

You... this is too much. 369 looked at the business card in his hand, and you actually are a psychologist!?

The next second, Di Wu's gaze fell on Karsa. Although he was smiling, Karsa felt a chill run down his spine.

"Brother Ka, of course you're not afraid of not having a job in the LPL, because you can always go back to your wildcard region, right?"

"not me."

Ka Ge almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Last year, the LMS region was directly removed from the league by Riot Games and placed into the wildcard region.

Is he really that aggressive?
Di Wu glanced at Knight again, almost without pausing, as if he hadn't seen anything, and then turned his attention to his brother.

Knight: ? ? ?
Am I a human being? Am I a human being?
Passive-aggressive behavior is far more violent than physical violence! Bin has long understood this.

"Brother, why didn't you stay with the team that won the championship? Did you not like it?"

good good!
JKL was already somewhat convinced!
Is this the regular season MVP? His offensive prowess is terrifying!
The official director next to him opened his mouth, speechless for a moment. After regaining his composure, he quietly glanced at the editor beside him: "Not a single cut!"

"I said, not a single cut!!"

Then Di Wu slowly opened his arms. Hmm?
Lies stood up abruptly, pushed her chair in front of Di Wu, and gestured for him to enter.

???

All eyes in the room immediately turned to Di Wu.

Di Wu reluctantly climbed onto Lies' chair, looking down at the entire TES team.

"Whoo~"

Di Wu lowered his head and whispered: "The spiral logo, Sylas, Summoner's Rift, the red spinning top, the chain whip, I heard you say, the azure trench, the rotating axis, the Chinese music scene, the great brother, pure hands!"

At this moment, the overhead light at the TES seating area was perfectly blocked by Di Wu, and all the light spread to Di Wu's outline. Under the gaze of the TES team, Di Wu's figure even looked somewhat sacred.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as they listened to Di Wu's "whisper".

"I admire the first person who tries to make history, because it might be the worst history ever!"

"A spinning top is bound to be whipped up eventually!"

Di Wu opened his palm towards his brother's big head.
"I'll say it one last time, the top is about to spin!"

"I will be on the LPL finals stage"

"Made in TES!!! Again!"

The TES players on site stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing.
No, buddy!?
you.
This is outrageous! If this clip airs, will you even be able to walk out of the Shanghai stadium after the fight? Should we dig a tunnel for you guys?!
Despite his great character, the older brother didn't pay attention to the content of Di Wu's trash talk; instead, he was thinking about Di Wu's safety!

Goodness gracious! That's terrifying, that's the kind of trash talk your Chicken Bro uses.

I originally thought that the Spring Split organizers were protecting LGD, not wanting a team like LGD, which is full of rookies and has a lot of nice guys, to face the trash talk of a team like TES.

I never expected this. It seems like the LPL officials are protecting TES during the Spring Split.
If TES, who had just been assembled in the Spring Split, were to suffer this magical attack and then lose the Spring Finals, it would feel like it wasn't just 369 who needed to see a psychologist.

I wonder if the restaurant that Brother Chicken recommended requires queuing?

The official director listening backstage stared wide-eyed. This might be unprecedented.
The trash-talking segment was the biggest crushing defeat of all.

Who would have thought that Di Wu, who looks so delicate, would go all out once he gets into a full-on power state?

Even TES couldn't stop them?

It looks like Karsa and 369 are going to lose their little pearls! Wait, is Knight going to cry too? Where's Knight?!
After the trash talk ended, as an apology, Di Wu invited his TES buddies to a karaoke bar to reunite.

Guo Hao didn't take it to heart; trash talk was just something everyone did every year.

What grudge could the players have against each other? Moreover, LGD's victory over JDG in the regular season indirectly helped TES alleviate the pressure of entering the World Championship on a psychological level.

Both teams in the finals have already qualified for the World Championship, and they're working together to advance! Their relationship off the field must be incredibly close.

"Brother Chicken, you're being a bit too harsh. You have to treat me to another fruit platter! Otherwise, I won't forgive you!" The older brother's words immediately heated up the atmosphere.

"Eat! One plate? One plate each!" Di Wu called over the waiter with a smile.

GALA, who was standing next to him, seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a moment and ultimately remained silent.

He glanced at his WeChat Wallet balance.
Is that enough? Shouldn't it?
The atmosphere between the two contestants was quite good, and Guo Hao chose to sing a song.

Guo Hao's must-sing song at karaoke now is
He looked at the familiar subtitles on the KTV screen.

"A Sudden Self—Wu Bai!"

"I heard you say that~~"
