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

Chapter 154 Yuanyuan, Smoke over the middle gate, your Chicken Bro is about to make his appearance! (2-in-1 6k)

【Ding! 】

[“I heard you say it~”, thanks to the host’s promotion, the spinning top has suddenly gained Hao Ge’s approval and gradually become Top Esports’ team song! The host is not only going further and further down this great path of comedy, but is even leading Top Esports down this path! Great! No need to say more!]

[Reward: 200 Comedy Points, 4 Hero Proficiency Points]

Di Wu glanced at Guo Hao, who was completely absorbed in Wu Bai's song...

Is this right?
Is this still the LPL?
Di Wu, shrugged helplessly as he devoured a cantaloupe, "What can I say?"

Countless timelines intersect, and Top Esports hasn't even encountered the "Gee" from the game yet, but he's already met "Sudden Spinning Top" ahead of time.

Perhaps this is all predestined!

I wonder how much of the original Summer Split champions' strength they will have in tomorrow's game!
After both teams had finished playing, Hao Ge specially arranged for a bus from his own base to pick them up.

As they parted, Hao Ge grasped Di Wu's hand!

"Brother Chicken! Good luck in tomorrow's competition, and... if there's a chance in the future!"

"Perhaps we can cooperate!"

Guo Hao unconsciously glanced at Knight, who had already boarded the TES bus.

Although Knight is currently the core player they acquired last year, and it seems that the strategy of building the team around Knight is actually quite good, Knight has gradually grown into a mid-laner who can rival the three saints and one emperor.

but.
If it were Chicken Nick! Guo Hao would be willing to abandon all his principles.

The key point is that he also really wants to see Nick and JKL, the two centers, paired up together!
Ok?
Upon hearing Guo Hao's overtures, Di Wu blinked.
Go to Top Esports!
In the next few years, Top Esports will be a relatively competitive team.

Even though my brother achieved a complete defeat with TES, even though in later years he was completely outmatched by Zeus in the Vanguard Tournament.
TES remains a top-tier team in the LPL.

It can only be said that the departure of the older brother from IG has indeed created a "great" team for the LPL, one with "history" and "team culture".

"Well, maybe there's a chance!"

Di Wu thought of the 369 self-rotating crocodile, and his brother Luo Fengpo being fatally hooked by the Keria water ghost.

TES, your blood pressure is already a bit high! You're the cure for your fans' low blood pressure!
"Okay! Let's do our best in tomorrow's match too, and together create a fantastic Summer Season Finals!"

Guo Hao patted Di Wu on the shoulder, and Di Wu turned around to rejoin his teammates.
Watching Di Wu's disappearing figure, a hint of joy appeared on Guo Hao's face.

It seems that Gnik doesn't seem to have any resistance to being touched.

Who knows, there might actually be a chance to collaborate with Gnik in the future and see Gnik paired with JKL?

Just as Guo Hao turned around, he saw Knight looking at him with some resentment from the window seat of his team bus.

"Zhuo Ding, let me explain! I just talked to Gnik about whether we should pay for his fruit platter, after all, he's a newcomer to the game."

Guo Hao wanted to explain something, but Knight just pursed his lips and lowered his head.

At that moment, he finally understood what it felt like to have someone else usurp his place!

I will never use other people's things again!

Here, Knight secretly vows: I will never use another man's girlfriend again until I've won over Gnik!

Upon returning to the KTV, Di Wu asked his teammates who were waiting for him at the front desk, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to take a taxi back to the hotel?"

Since it wasn't their home turf in Hangzhou, and there was no bus to pick them up, they could only take a taxi back to the hotel to rest.

"Hello, sir! This is the checkout area!"

The waiter's voice reminded Di Wu. GALA, who was standing next to Di Wu, immediately took the initiative to stand beside him.

Di Wu shook his head at GALA. What does that mean? If the foreigners next door see this, they'll think I can't afford to pay!
Although I was indeed shocked by the prices when MSC came to Shanghai last time, and I was really poor at the time.

but.
Things are different now!
He received his salary for the month and some red envelopes from his boss. He hasn't spent much money on himself lately, but he's sent the majority of his money home. He usually asks his family for money, but this time it's finally Lao Ji's turn to give back to his family.

His mother kindly offered to keep the money for him until he got married, and for some reason, Di Wu felt that this sounded familiar.

After that, he gave Lao K some gifts and did some giveaways for the viewers in the live stream.

I had about 300 yuan left in my wallet. Today I used Guo Hao's black card VIP here, which supposedly gives a 40% discount. Hao-ge has already paid for the KTV room fee.

How much could a few fruit platters cost?
Just a few grapes and cherry tomatoes, a few slices of cantaloupe and watermelon!

I would never bow down for three hundred yuan.

"Hello, this fruit platter costs 2588 yuan!"

"Scan the code or pay cash!"

???

Di Wu suddenly raised his head and glared fiercely at the waiter.

Is your melon made of gold?

"Sir, we have a bill! We have a bill!"

The waiter quickly handed the receipt to Di Wu: "Sir, look! Our fruits are all air-freighted directly from overseas, absolutely fresh and delicious!"

"you"

"Sir, this is already the discounted price!" The waiter seemed to have read what Di Wu wanted to ask and responded first.

hiss!
60% off?! What the hell?! Shall I go to the kitchen and get you the money?

You know, if Liu Huaqiang came to buy melons, you'd definitely be in big trouble!
Di Wu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the 387.5 yuan in his WeChat wallet.
His gaze fell on GALA beside him, and GALA looked at Di Wu with a very miserable expression on her face.

Diwu pulled GALA aside once again.
"Ahem! Ga Zi, lend me 2200!"

???

No, why are you borrowing larger and larger amounts each time?
Bro! Stop having one plate each! This is Shanghai! We can't afford to lose face, can we?!
GALA sighed helplessly and transferred all of his assets, 2212.3, to Di Wu.

What can I say? We're all fucking buddies~
After a while, the LGD members stood in front of the KTV. Di Wu looked at Flando and said, "Old Pig, my phone is dead! You should take a taxi!"

???

Did the battery die right after I paid? That's incredibly slow!
Flandre nodded naturally, but GALA timidly walked up behind her and said, "Brother, can I ride with you? My phone's dead!"

Di Wu and GALA exchanged a glance, but neither of them pointed out the truth to the other.

This might be it.
Let's maintain some adult dignity!
That evening, during the team-building activity between TES and LGD, the official pre-match trash talk from the opposing team was released.

If viewers didn't get enough of the trash talk during the Spring Split, then this uncut version of the pre-match trash talk during the Summer Split has completely ignited the flames of battle.

TES Super Topic fired the first shot in the fight against chickens.

"Is Gnik even human? What does he mean? He's really standing on a chair? That's not fair!"

"The official team behind Gnik actually provided lighting and props?"

"You think you can fire at my brother? What kind of champion are you? You don't deserve to be called one!"

"Don't call him Chicken Nick, who's making his first appearance at Worlds. Godv thought the same thing back then!"

"Don't be a fan of LGD, a team with a 'past record,' they'll be back in the round of 16 again!"

"Looking forward to Gnik shooting arrows in reverse!"

"Give me a laugh at this team's best record of reaching the top 16, a substitute for the substitute of the left hand in YM, a bootleg Lion King who likes to survey his territory, Sima Yi who stole the championship from Top Esports when they weren't fully integrated in the Spring Split MSC, Optimus Prime who can only do magic tricks but can't transform, a 'take-it-out' mid-laner who steps on the coach's desk and bullies his teammates!"

LGD's fan page remained closed and refused to engage in any online battles.

The dark history of S5 is truly unbearable. Even now, LGD fans will not say anything until LGD wins the World Championship.

But this trash talk was completely enjoyable for passersby and amusement, and some content creators even did a detailed analysis of this year's trash talk.

"Explosive! Absolutely explosive!"

"I knew Chicken Bro was good! Chicken Bro should be the one trash-talking in the Spring Split!"

"What does it mean to 'debate with a group of scholars'?"

"Is Brother Chicken really a prime minister?!"

"It's back, the familiar taste of trash talk is back!"

The success of the pre-match trash talk has already generated immense buzz for the LPL Summer Split Finals.

The next day!

In front of the Shanghai Grand Arena, a long line of spectators had already formed, with promotional photos of Di Wu and his brother displayed in front of the venue.

At this time, the representative figure of TES gradually shifted from Knight to his older brother.

Today's match was undoubtedly the most spectacular one for the LPL. It wasn't just LPL viewers who were watching; many fans and even players from the LCK and Europe were also watching.

It was precisely because of LPL's consecutive championships in 18 and 19, coupled with its great success at the MSC, that LPL was granted four slots to compete in the World Championship.

LPL has temporarily earned the title of the number one region, and this year's World Championship will be held on LPL's home turf, with LGD and TES facing off in this BO5 final.

Naturally, many people regarded it as a preview of the World Championship finals!
"Welcome everyone to the 2020 LPL Summer Split Finals! Hello everyone, I'm commentator Zeyuan!"

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Miller!"

Both of them turned their gaze to the rather important guest sitting between them.

Hello everyone! I'm Godv!

For today's finals commentary, LPL officials borrowed Godv from the PUBG forum!

Dwyane let out a long sigh of relief. It's been five years since the Summer Split Finals!
It has been five years since LGD last participated in the Summer Split finals. Five years ago, it was I who led LGD to defeat QG, led by Doinb, in the finals!

Looking back on the past, Godv couldn't help but sigh.
Doinb, who faced him in the finals back then, has now become a champion mid-laner, the top streamer on Douyu, and a super streamer.

If I were to say, if I could persevere in the face of insults, would I also have a chance to achieve the same success as Doinb?

That's really true. What seemed like an easy championship back then now seems unattainable.

Gnik!
In any case, let's not leave any regrets on this field!

The venerable patriarch Wutian is watching you from the stage!
The big screen also displayed the pre-match data for both sides. Due to LGD's terrifying win rate, the top laner, jungler, and support all had significant lead in the data.

However, LGD's lead in the double C position is not actually that large.

Even Di Wu's data only surrounded Knight, completely lacking the feeling of toothpaste being used like a dart to poke a balloon.

This year's regular season MVP list is topped by Di Wu, followed closely by Knight with 13 MVPs, and most impressively, JKL is in third place with 12 MVPs.

This is even though my brother hasn't finished all the seasons this year, and he already has 12 MVPs!

TES's two carries aren't just popular; their skill level is quite high. The only issues are that the carry might suddenly make a crucial mistake, or Knight might suddenly disappear for a while. Perhaps TES isn't a consistently strong team, but they're definitely not a weak team.

"Let's welcome TES!!!"

At that moment, the background music in the venue suddenly changed, and one by one, the TES players walked out onto the stage with flashing lights.

In the Spring Season, they were the runners-up in the MSC. They have come so close to winning the championship so many times.

My brother is determined; this time, he'll lift the trophy with his brothers!
After TES entered their opposite platform
"Let me welcome LGD!!!"

One by one, LGD's players walked onto the stage.
When the camera focused on Flandre, she raised her right hand and made a standard Ultraman entrance!

???

Lau K, who was watching the game from the second line, gaped wide at this sight. Flandre!? What does that mean!
In his first Summer Split finals, he completely let loose!?
The next shot focuses on Peanut.
Little Peanut glanced at the pose Flandre had struck and couldn't help but raise his hands high.

???

LGD's top laner and jungler pulled a stunt that instantly ignited the audience.

Di Wu's brain almost shut down, not...
The main problem is the opening sequence. Flandre and Peanut didn't tell me anything at all?

There was absolutely no discussion within the LGD team; Flandre's sudden action was like Zhang Beihai, who had been hiding for a long time.

They completely stopped putting on an act during the opening ceremony of the final!
"I was already a comedian before you were one!"

The moment the light shone on Di Wu, his mind was still blank, but his body couldn't help but begin to move.

What is it? What is that?!

The fans and audience below the stage looked at Di Wu, who was about to take action, with alarm.

Di Wu flicked his hands, turned around gracefully, showing his back to the world, and delivered a powerful "Iron Mountain Lean" move.

"Ginny! What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"

"My goodness! We really can't mess with this guy? His fighting power is too strong!"

"Brother Chicken, just lean on Iron Mountain, there are countless little black guys behind you!"

"Is your brother Kun awesome?"

"I really am an ikun!"

The audience was in an uproar!

And then, the moment the camera focused on GALA...
GALA looked rather miserable, as if her life had become even more miserable.

GALA: No! They didn't assign me any moves either?

I feel so hopeless standing here!

This is the most desperate way to die in the world!
Bro, I don't want the 2200 anymore. Next time you're doing something funny, can you give me the tasks first?
The TES team sitting opposite the platform were completely dumbfounded. Nobody said anything, right? So this kind of show can be done on stage?

"Sigh, I feel like I lost out?" Karsa even looked a little regretful.

If I had known it could be like this, I really should have competed with Chicken Bro to see who the real ikun is.

My dancing skills are absolutely second to none!

???

No, is that the point?
The older brother was feeling a bit overwhelmed, but it was Chicken Bro who had the fun!

The official live stream chat is completely flooded with comments.

"Fran! If you've been kidnapped, blink twice!"

"The optimism part~~"

"It's okay, as long as we stay optimistic."

“pus uz nqs puo”

"I'm running away first, brothers, once Kun Kun's call comes!"

"Kun? Does Kun refer to Wan Kun?"

"Brother Chicken can really dance! Waaaaah! I'm so crying, I love him so much!"

"So, the 'chicken' in 'chicken-nick' means 'chicken-nick's too'?"

"You little black devil, you're really infuriating me! I've sent you a lawyer's letter!"

【Ding! 】

[Elegant dance moves—how can there be such powerful and artistic dance moves in this world? Host, you're too ahead of your time! Even in the opening animation that Flandre added on the spot, you still managed to attract everyone's attention! You were born for this!]

[Reward: 800 Comedy Points, 2 Hero Proficiency Points]

Ok?
Such a generous reward!?

Di Wu was slightly stunned, and what bothered him even more was that his mind had just gone completely blank.

My body seemed to be taken over by something, and I started dancing.
No, could it be that I...
Di Wu shook his head helplessly, feeling that his body had undergone a slight change.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!
Lao K on the second route had completely lost his composure: "Huh?"

"I wasn't laughing, the streamer is definitely an ikun! Chicken Nick is so awful, he actually tried to imitate our Kun Ge!"

"Let me state this in advance: I am just a former colleague of Nick, we are not close! He is just a friend who plays professionally."

His live stream chat exploded with comments.

"It's not K's fault, we really can't afford to mess with this guy."

"Chicken Nick, huh? Weren't you done about making Yuan Yuan shut up his cigarettes last time? Now you're doing it again!"

"Yuanyuan, smoke the middle gate, your Chicken Bro is about to make his appearance!"

"We've got them all! Now we really have them all! All we're missing is the snow leopard!"

"It's okay, guys in K's livestream. When the enemy attacks, just have Yuanyuan use smoke grenades, and we'll set up smoke grenades on the side! Invincible!"

Even Godv on the official commentary team couldn't hold back anymore, if the camera hadn't directly shown the players' draft picks on site.

When facing the camera, it's not just Di Wu who's being attacked!

On the big screen, LGD, on the blue side, had adopted a relatively conservative draft strategy for the first game of the finals.

LGD, on the blue side, banned Sett Quinn and Caitlyn, while TES banned Renekton, Ornn, and Twisted Fate.

The banning of Renekton and Quinn on both sides can be considered a mutual cancellation. LGD's initiative to ban Quinn was to force TES to take on the banning role of Renekton.

Otherwise, their top laner could be Renekton, and their jungler could coordinate with Nidalee or Lillia.

After the first three bans, Graves, Nidalee, and Lillia were all released in the jungle position.

LGD immediately locked in Ashe to help the bottom lane gain lane priority.

TES didn't hesitate much. While picking Zoe on the first floor, they still hesitated for a moment among the three jungle carry champions.

Kaka isn't doing well in this version; Lillia's win rate in the LPL region is pitifully low.

He naturally wouldn't choose either of the outside options: Nidalee or Graves. He's more proficient with one, and the other is a better fit for the current meta.
"Give me Graves!" Karsa finally decided to pick Graves, who was a better fit for the current meta.

The Zoe and Graves mid-jungle duo is very strong; regardless of proficiency, Graves is definitely the best choice.

"Let's pick Nidalee! Protect Leona in the bot lane!"

Even without the crocodile, Nidalee is still a more comfortable champion than Lillia, at least in terms of win rate.

LGD picked Nidalee and Leona on the second and third floors, respectively.

TES's third pick was Jhin for their brother!
The older brother's gaze was incredibly focused; both Ashe and Jhin were within his domain.

As for GALA's Ashe, it can only be said that he played it passably. In this match, the older brother had already secretly made up his mind!
If Gnik is the god of responsibility for LGD, then I must become the god of responsibility for TES in this final!

The two sides entered the second round of the ban/pick phase, and LGD banned Nautilus and Jax.

There are slight differences between Mai Zijian and Kenzhu, while TES banned Lucian and Jayce.

These two heroes from Diwu's hero pool might be useful against Zoe.

Both sides entered the second round of the draft phase, with TES picking Thresh on the fourth pick as a counter to Leona.

The problem then arises with Flandre. In this game, without Renekton, the only viable top lane champions are Volibear, Camille, Mordekaiser, and Wukong.

Since Lucian and Jayce have been banned consecutively in the mid lane, Flandre's best choice for the top lane is still a physical damage dealer.

"Camille! I feel like you have to force an engagement on this kind of poke composition!"

Di Wu glanced at Flandre and said, "But the enemy might have a monkey attacking you, so your lane won't be as comfortable!"

Flandre simply shook her head: "It's alright, let's go with Camille then!"

TES clearly relies on their two core players' long-range poke and sniping abilities to play the game.

Camille is a great pick for engaging, and LGD banned Jax, the champion Bin used against Flandre and Camille in the previous round, during the second round of bans.

"Ding!"

LGD locked down Camille on the fourth floor!
"Camille! In that case, what should we pick for mid? Lucian and Jayce are both gone. Actually, I think Chicken Bro sacrificed a bit too much!" Miller said with some doubt. "Because I feel that the third pick should have been to protect Lucian. Now everyone is using Lucian to counter Zoe. This pick of Leona is a bit of a sacrifice for the draft!"

Awei shook his head: "I feel that giving it to the mid laner as a back pick is okay. Gnik probably has his own ideas!"

Flandre pulled out Camille, which clearly indicated that she was about to launch a charge.

It all comes down to what Di Wu can pull out in the mid lane. To be honest, choosing heroes that charge into the fray will make laning very difficult.

Galio is a very good choice, but in this game, Galio will be constantly targeted by Zoe in the mid lane.
Sylas is a completely counter to Zoe, and he might not even be able to get into team fights; he could just take a hit and fall down.

Gnik is unlikely to pick champions like Galio and Sylas. Are there any champions who can dive in and disrupt the enemy formation?
"Oh?"

A familiar avatar appeared on the fifth floor of LGD!

"Here they come! Gnik!"

"Does he really dare to choose?"

"Ding!"

Before Guan Zeyuan could finish speaking, LGD's fifth floor was locked!
. . . . . .
