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

Chapter 162 The Birth of a King

"No... why is it your K God's flowerpot again?" The moment Lao K on the second lane saw the group photo of LGD, he really couldn't hold back anymore.

Di Wu held that familiar flowerpot card in his hand. "I've been a professional player for so many years and I've never been to the World Championship. Now that's great!"

There's no need to say anything more now; LPL's terrible tournament format ruined K's career.

Because you, Chicken Bro, have already gone to the World Championship with K, and you're even in the LGD team photos!

"I...I...I should thank him!?"

K-God couldn't help but purse his lips. Was this a joke?!

The screen was flooded with comments, and as K looked at the screen full of question marks, a slight smile of relief appeared on his lips.

"Otherwise what? Without your chicken brother taking off this year, how would you compare to Uzbekistan?"

"God is a fake."

"Brother Chicken is loyal and righteous!"

"Let's eat this piece of Brother Ji's food~~"

When he saw a particularly eye-catching comment, Lao K finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Wait, buddy? What do you mean by 'this is what they call "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven")?"

"Well said, it really is true, even the chickens and dogs rise to heaven!" Lao K couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Diwu Laoji became famous, and his K-dog also gained popularity in the live broadcast room!

When it comes to our chicken-dog bond, who says a Lao chicken isn't a chicken? Who says a K dog isn't a dog?

The new interpretation of "chicken and dog ascend to heaven" is: when either Lao Ji (chicken) or K Quan (dog) succeeds, they will definitely take the other person with them!

We chicken-eating buddies...absolutely no feathers!!

On the stage of the finals, the entire LGD team stood on the stage.

Let us congratulate them once again…

"LGD has successfully won the 2020 Summer Split championship and will represent the LPL region as the number one seed at the World Championship!"

Xi Ran went on stage and congratulated LGD once again: "Congratulations LGD!!"

Di Wu exchanged a knowing glance with Xi Ran, a smile on his face, as if to say smugly, "Isn't bro awesome?!"

As a professional host, Xi Ran smiled slightly and gave Di Wu a thumbs up.

In this best-of-five series, Laugi's performance was absolutely outstanding.

Moreover, today's final match, on the surface, looks like TES vs. LGD, but in reality, TES is carrying quite a few dead souls.

Their team was eliminated early in the playoffs, so they started trying to drag LGD down with them.

The neighboring super topic Gnik has returned to the top of the bounty list, and everyone related to Di Wu, from Lao K to Lao Ran and even Da Zi, has been put back on the list of those to be eliminated.

It is also jokingly referred to by everyone as…

"The Hitler K List Incident!"

Even TES themselves were probably confused as to why they suddenly had so much support before the finals.

Di Wu grew too fast and rose too quickly. How many predecessors and big stars did he step on in the process?

Everyone wants to see Di Wu fall from grace, and everyone wants to step on him, but Di Wu has held on!
Their perfect performance in the finals not only preserved LGD's reputation as the strongest team, but also ensured the release date of the bounty list was met.

Seeing this, Xiao Huasheng wisely stepped aside. It seems that Brother Chicken and this host have a pretty good relationship?
Recently, he had also heard some slang from fans online. He glanced at Di Wu and then at Xi Ran with interest, and showed a kind smile.

Young people these days...
This reminded him of a great player who was also his former teammate.

Faker, his skill aside, is remarkable for remaining single and having no off-field scandals.

Could it be that Sang-hyeok is actually a girl?
Peanut couldn't help but imagine what Faker would look like if he were a girl...

I can't even imagine it, it's an insult to Faker.

He couldn't help but shudder. What was he thinking? Lately, these abstract thoughts kept popping into his head. It was definitely because he had been spending too much time with Brother Di.

However, when it comes to cross-dressing, he still thinks Deft is better!
No, what am I thinking? No! Stop it, my brain, how did I become like this!
The audience at the scene started discussing this scene.

"Are they being this blatant now?"

"Lao Ran: I've never had such a smooth game before!"

"Hahahaha, what are you going to do about the bounty on the other super topic now?"

"I knew Gnik was the strongest Galio! Facing the storm of public opinion, he made a heroic entrance right away!"

"It still has to be my brother Chicken, Uncle Lao Ran!"

Lao Ran cried~ Lao Ran laughed~

"The neighboring hashtag: This bounty list is indefinitely postponed!"

"I believe every player is very excited to win this summer championship. Do the LGD players have anything to say?" Xi Ran first handed the microphone to Flando.

Flandre remained the same, laughing heartily. In truth, he was incredibly excited inside, but he still couldn't quite express it.

He just smiled and nodded at the camera: "Hehehe! Awesome, thanks to my teammates for being so great!"

"They stole another championship for me!"

K, on ​​the second lane, saw Flandre's smug smile and frantically pulled out his hair: "Hey, Old Pig, that feels so good! Old Pig definitely got crushed in the laning phase these two rounds! Bin and 369 both stomped him! But there's nothing he can do!"

"All I can say is that he definitely stole it!"

The screen was filled with question marks. After all, they were former teammates. Wasn't it a bit too much to say that?
Meanwhile, the anti-pig commenters started flooding the screen with messages.

"Even if I were in that position, I'd win! Anyone can get away with something like this."

"Flandre is definitely LGD's weakest point right now. If TheShy were here, LGD would be invincible!"

"LGD's top and support players, just wait! They're definitely going to have problems at Worlds!"

A sly smile suddenly appeared on Lao K's lips: "Hehehe, what a joke! You won the championship, what a drag! It's TheShy again, LGD is invincible! The World Championship hasn't even started yet and there are already problems!"

"Let's just bring out Grandma Tai! Grandma Tai and Chicken Nick are both number one seeds! They love to gank, moderators! Let's go!!!"

???

The commenters realized at that moment that they had been tricked. When it comes to matching, who can match my K God?
K is fishing, luring the bastards out to kill them!

"No one really thinks Old Pig is trash, right? He's just old now, but if it were five years ago, you'd all have to call him Lady Flandre!"

At this moment, Lao K's techniques in the live streaming world have been elevated once again. While Di Wu has made further progress in his gaming skills, K's live streaming skills have also kept the viewers in the live stream entertained.

After the various LGD players spoke, Di Wu was left until the end, because Lao Ran understood that the protagonist...
He always has to be the last to appear!
"Please trust us, our fans! This is just the beginning."

Di Wu raised his head, his long, faded silver-white hair appearing somewhat yellowish under the light.
Shining like the sun, too dazzling to look directly at! Like a newly enthroned king! Unchallenged!
"The forging of a dynasty always requires the consolidation of every single cornerstone, and the ascension of a king always requires the accumulation of the corpses of every challenger every year!"

what! ?

The audience members who lingered in the room were momentarily dazed as they looked at Di Wu on stage. Was this really something a rookie who was only a second-year player was saying?

However, the audience quickly figured it out!
What Di Wu accomplished this year is something that a second-year rookie could never do!
Godv wasn't just sitting in the lounge anymore; he was practically kneeling on the commentary desk.

Gnik! ?
He's only eighteen, right?
The thought that he and his younger self actually bore some resemblance was undeniable, even if he was unwilling to admit it.
Di Wu's charm rating is amazing!?

LPL has won championships year after year, but the teams that just won the championship fell too quickly, just like a shooting star. The dazzling shooting star made LPL think that its day had come.

Having worked in the esports industry for so long, how could Godv not understand that this industry needs to be standardized? You can't go far by relying solely on talent.

There are so many talented people, but most of them are buried! Even those who achieve success quickly fall from grace. Look at how FPX, last year's defending champions, performed this summer.

LPL needs players like Gnik, who are young and can represent the region!
I've taken this position!
Gnik has to be arrogant when he needs to be. Back in the day, Faker's trash talk really showed he didn't treat his opponents like human beings.

Faker debuted by taking on some of the strongest mid laners in OGN, including Ambition and Yue Lun. Which one of them wasn't completely dominated by Faker?

How terrifying were Faker's peak performances at Worlds in S5 and S6?
A god doesn't need to prove himself, because the opponents he defeated along the way have long since transformed into celestial spirits, illuminating the path behind him.

"Go to the World Championship! Adidas, that's the stage you belong on!"

Godv couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Five years had passed! Another number one seed. What he couldn't do, Gnik, you'll have to accomplish!
Standing next to Di Wu, Xi Ran subconsciously opened her mouth, but Di Wu's words at that moment had completely stunned her.

She could feel her heart fluttering for no reason.
Chicken Bro is not a comedian!
No, Chicken Bro is more than just a comedian!! Amidst the discussions among the audience in the official live stream...
"Chicken Bro is the strongest mid-laner of the new generation in the LPL! Chicken Bro is the MSC champion! Chicken Bro is the god of responsibility for LGD, the god of responsibility for the LPL!!!"

"You're going to be awkward, fine, but do you have to make it look so cool?"

"A pivotal turning point in the LPL: Gnik delivers a speech during the Summer Split finals – 'The Birth of a King'"

"LPL's sun! LCK, just wait! Have you ever felt the sun's heat? Have you ever felt the attack of two suns?"

"I remember now, I'm not a bastard, I'm not a joker! I'm Mimiko from Chicken Nick!"

The older brother stood backstage watching Di Wu's interview on stage, unable to let go of his feelings for a long time. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, remembering how he had once thought...
I am the protagonist of this world, until
In 19, they were defeated by TL at MSI, and at Worlds, their dream of consecutive championships was shattered by Tian's Qiyana and Doinb's Nautilus.

In 20, he was kicked out of IG and even tricked into signing a letter of intent by RNG.

Everyone says the older brother has a great character, but
Only he knows the hardships and pain he endured; perhaps it all began the moment Su Xiaoluo put him on the receiving end in 19.
He then realized that he was not the protagonist of this world.

【Ding! 】

"Rome wasn't built in a day," the host clearly understands that the establishment of a dynasty is the result of accumulated effort! The same is true for forging the King of Comedy. To be able to say this so earnestly, and to make all the audience feel the host's charm! Go! Become the supreme, strongest, happiest, and most humorous King of Comedy!

[Reward: 750 Comedy Points, 2 Hero Proficiency Points]

Ok?
I... I do want to be a king, but not this kind of king?
Di Wu had long since become somewhat numb to the system's judgments, but he still upheld LGD's optimistic tradition.

As long as I become stronger step by step, sooner or later I will reach the top and get rid of this title.

After a brief interview, Xi Ran presented the award to the FMVP of this Summer Split Finals.
"Who won the Most Valuable Player award in the 2020 LPL Summer Split Finals?"

"LGD! Gnik!!!"

LGD immediately handed the stage over to Di Wu.

They also understood that this was the real protagonist of the day, and that Brother Chicken deserved all the honors.

When Lao K on the second route heard this "shocking" news, he almost jumped out of his chair.

"Huh? It's Chicken Nick! I thought it was Tai Nai!"

"But I still feel it's a bit surprising that the Finals MVP wasn't awarded to LeBron James. If all else fails, let's give it to K! K wants it too, right? K is already moved to tears!"

As he spoke, Lau K couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Krystal isn't the zone, Krystal is the kill king!
???

"I feel that Lau's victory, winning both the spring and summer titles, has had a huge impact on Lau K?"

"Hey, is that normal? How could it not be a big deal? Imagine your best friend suddenly wins a hundred million in the lottery, his house gets demolished and redeveloped, and a super rich and beautiful woman even pays him to buy a house and a car. Could you accept that?"

"That's a good analogy! In situations like this, I usually die together with my best buddy!"

"Even if I gave you a chance, it wouldn't have mattered! Lao K, it's your destiny! Your most important trophy is the flowerpot in the live stream!!"

"Lao K has gone mad!!"

The main live stream showed Di Wu, who won the Summer Split FMVP.

Second league FMVP award secured!
Di Wu also achieved the rare feat of winning both the spring and summer championships and taking home the FMVP award for both.

Including the previous MSC championship
This LGD team is only one championship away from the so-called "golden road".

So far, even during the SKT dynasty, they have not achieved this feat.

From a historical perspective, the teams with the closest time interval
It's RNG!

Xi Ran slowly walked to Di Wu's side: "Congratulations to Gnik for winning his second FMVP. This year, LGD not only swept the LPL championship, but you also won two FMVPs!"

"Next, you will be entering the World Championship as the number one seed! How does Gnik feel right now?"

"We will play like the number one seed in the World Championship!" Di Wu nodded to the audience.

Di Wu could understand, of course he could understand. He had been a fan himself, and in recent years, the reputation of LPL teams had really not been very good.

The league is incredibly strong; even in scrims, LGD is said to be crushing SKT.

RNG, having won both the Spring and Summer titles and crushed KZ to claim the MSI championship, is just one step away from the path to gold.

It's no wonder LPL viewers react this way. If your teams play like this, aren't you just luring viewers in to watch, only to have them dominate in the most important and crucial matches?
Anyone who's ever been a Top Esports fan knows about blood pressure...
Our LPL teams have it all figured out!

The current LGD team is very similar to that team, very similar to RNG, who were once just one step away from the path to gold.

The concerns expressed by viewers in the official live stream regarding LGD are absolutely not unfounded.

"LGD's reputation score, it's not that I don't trust you, bro!"

"They had that same dominance as RNG back in the day. I wouldn't say a word until they played against an LCK team at Worlds!"

"The higher you're lifted up, the harder you fall! Just you wait, Gnik, now's the time for you to be arrogant!"

"Like I said, I'm waiting for Chicken Nick to shoot backwards at the World Championship!"

"I feel like this year, experienced teams like Top Esports will still win. LGD's five faces don't have much credibility!"

"LGD and RNG five years ago: the glory of the number one seed? Interesting!"

Xi Ran continued from Di Wu's words, asking, "Has Gnik watched any matches from other regions this year?"

"Other regions?" Di Wu quickly shook his head: "No, we just won the championship, I haven't had time to study our opponents in the World Championship yet."

However, there was a major upset at this year's World Championship: T1, the LCK Spring Split champions, were eliminated in the first round.

The MSC defeat leaves LCK with only three seed slots.
T1 is really in danger!

Upon hearing this, Godv in the commentary booth nodded repeatedly, "It's good that you haven't studied it, it's good that you haven't studied it!"
With the World Championship approaching, it's best not to challenge anything unorthodox!
It's better to believe this thing exists than to believe it doesn't.

After a brief interview, Xi Ran posed one last question: "Since you and TES have already secured your spots in the World Championship today, regardless of who wins or loses, both teams will advance together. However, there's still a battle for the third and fourth seeds in the LPL. I wonder if Gnik has anything he'd like to say to boost everyone's morale?"

To boost everyone's morale?

Di Wu's face showed a hint of helplessness. To be honest, he felt that no amount of morale-boosting efforts were of much use.

Apart from LGD, other teams are basically feeding the enemy if they face DWG. This World Championship version can be described as the version where DWG is the dragon.

The designer is just too wicked!
"We hope Top Esports can fight harder and harder at the World Championship and create new history!"

Di Wu's simple words struck a chord with JKL, especially...
"Creating new history" and "Vietnam War" are the key words!
We, TES, are determined to make history at the World Championship and fight to the bitter end! We're all about getting stronger as the battle goes on, and we're a team that's incredibly fierce.

Chicken Bro understands me!

The older brother's lips curled up slightly. Although he had faced LGD many times without winning, TES was destined to be just like the lyrics of that song.
"I heard you say that~"

"For international competition, watch Top Esports!"

That's right, international competitions are the real stage for TES. Once they enter the World Championship, their seed number doesn't matter.

Dude, wasn't IG the second seed in 18? Didn't they still win the championship?
Chicken Bro understands me! Chicken Bro really understands me so well!

"Good luck to the teams still playing in the gauntlet!"

"It's good to come to the World Championship and see more of the world. What if we really can't beat them?"

"And your Chicken Bro will avenge you!"

what?
Lao Ran blinked. No, buddy!?

I asked you to encourage the guys who are going to play in the playoffs, not to take it out on them.
Guan Zeyuan, the commentator, was almost unable to control his facial expressions.
What does "Brother Chicken will help you get revenge" mean?
What if we run into LGD? The condition for helping you get revenge is that you don't run into your Chicken Bro in the subsequent matches!
If you run into Brother Chicken, it won't be a matter of revenge; Brother Chicken will personally escort you home.

The teams competing for a spot in the qualifying rounds are all gearing up, as this year's qualifying rounds will feature five teams.

JDG and SN will compete for the third seed in the high-level qualifying tournament, while IG and FPX will vie for the spot in the fourth seed match between the loser of JDG and SN.

These three BO5 matches were incredibly intense, with FPX and IG, the two S8 and S9 champions, vying for a spot as the fourth seed.

In the end, IG defeated FPX 3-2, and the defending champion FPX, despite strengthening their roster with Khan, failed to qualify for the World Championship!

JDG secured the third seed by defeating SN, thus winning the final victory.
In the final battle between IG and SN, IG, having lost JKL, finally realized how good JKL was.

A decisive 3-0 victory; Sofm's classic jungle domination was complete.

Bin secured another victory and exchanged a proud glance with TheShy!
All four LPL teams selected for the World Championship have been announced.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring LCK, a few days ago, DWG defeated DRX! They climbed to the top of the LCK! They won their first championship in LCK history.

Xu Ge won the FMVP!

That year, I was 20, the FMVP of LCK, full of vigor and ambition!
As a new king ascends the throne, countless fans and viewers are eager to see a showdown between the new kings of LPL and LCK!
. . . . . .
