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

Chapter 175 "I must consider whether this might be the only chance I ever have in my life!"

"Oh?"

Godv couldn't help but stand up as he watched Sylas, low on health, stand against the wall and dodge Graves' ultimate.

"He's really meticulous. He knew Graves was going to use his ultimate from that position, and he used the vision to dodge it!"

"Then turn around and use E again, then W to deal another hit!"

"Is Chicken Bro's Sylas going to be choosing a skin?"

After witnessing this series of actions, Godv could hardly contain his smile.

Gnik's Sylas looks like he deserves a skin!

The chat in Godv's live stream was completely filled with question marks.

"It has to be a legend from LGD! Are they already choosing skins?"

"Please, please don't hurt Brother Chicken!"

Gnik: Wait, my computer? How did it automatically open Tianya Mingyue Dao?

"Still laughing! After all these years! The streamer is still laughing!"

"Is it time to choose a skin again?"

Seeing the screen full of comments, Godv couldn't help but try to suppress his laughter.

【Ding! 】

[One against three and still managing to kill two! A comprehensive offensive completely shattered the confidence of the JDG players! Kanavi truly dominated from start to finish, dismantling the last vestiges of JDG's fighting spirit! Building his own enjoyment on the suffering of the JDG players—that's the host's dark humor!]

[Reward: 200 Comedy Points, 2 Hero Proficiency Points]

???

I.
Di Wu was clearly stunned when he heard this. What did he mean by "I made fun of the JDG players' suffering"?
We're all buddies! We're all players from the same region, do you think I'm that kind of person?
So all I did was make a few more arrests, use Zoom a few more times, and arrest Kanavi a few more times?

You see, Kanavi always blushes when he sees himself. Haven't you heard Faye Wong's lyrics?
"If we can't meet again with tears in our eyes, can we at least blush?"

but
Goodbye, JDG! Goodbye, Kanavi!

You can stay here. In the upcoming World Championship, I will carry your share to the highest honor!
Sorry!
Although they are teams from the same region, on this world's highest stage, giving it your all is the only way to show respect to your opponents.

After this wave ended, LGD's advantage was amplified.

The top, mid, and jungle laners are already terrifying, and Gala's Jhin is definitely the most suitable bot lane ADC for the current meta.

In the end, the match concluded in 30 minutes with LGD achieving a 1-for-5 exchange, successfully pushing down JDG's base.

Di Wu slowly stood up and led the LGD players to the opposite battle stage.

Zoom was completely stunned. In this battle, he deeply understood what it meant to have a mask of pain stuck to his face like a headband that he couldn't take off.

Kanavi's gaze had long since become indifferent; he looked up at Di Wu.
“navi”

"It's time to go and enjoy your vacation!"

Di Wu's words almost shattered Kanavi's feigned ease.

Enjoy your vacation?

However, Di Wu's words do make sense. Although they were eliminated, it was almost over.

I've done my best, now it's time to enjoy my vacation!
He wasn't worried about next year at all. Since Blue Lotus had already said so, he was sure he had the confidence to buy Di Wu.

Who knows, they might be teammates next year?
Thinking of this, Kanavi's gaze towards Di Wu became slightly impolite.

Sensing Kanavi's strange gaze, Di Wu took a small step back in fear.

Could it be that you really gave Kanavi some weird attributes?

Di Wu was terrified just thinking about it. After quickly shaking hands with the other contestants, he came to Green Hair.

Green Hair was already slumped in his seat.
This veteran support player, who has shone brightly in the LPL, is nearing the end of his professional career.

Di Wu simply patted the green-haired man on the shoulder.
That's how esports is; some people grow old and leave the arena, while new talents take up the mantle and fight!

But on that highest throne still stands a legendary player, Di Wu, gazing up at the sky above the stadium at a 45-degree angle.

A spotlight shone on Di Wu's face.
The photographer next to him quickly pressed his shutter, capturing this "Gnik looking up" photo!
This will also be the best individual player photo of this World Championship!
In the stands, the DRX players watched the close-up shot of Di Wu on the big screen.
Not a single person showed the slightest hint of a smile.
They also scheduled scrims with JDG, and frankly, they didn't think JDG, who managed to beat DWG in the group stage, was a weak team.

But their defeat against LGD was so natural that it completely shattered their initial strategy.

I originally thought JDG and LGD were teams from the same region and were already quite familiar with each other, plus Coach Redmi's strategy.

We should at least be able to produce something of LGD's own and create some difficulties for them.

did not expect.
On the contrary, LGD is getting better and better at playing against JDG!
It's so light and easy!

"Let's congratulate LGD on securing the next spot in the semifinals!"

Miller unconsciously straightened his back as TES advanced, followed by LGD's advancement.

Of the four teams that have reached the semifinals, half are already guaranteed to be LPL teams.

Now it remains to be seen whether SN can break through DWG's offensive, as DWG is, after all, the number one seed from LCK this year.

And if I really had to say, it's okay to have a dream.

What if PSG and SN both advance in the quarterfinals of the DRX vs. PSG match?
This year marks the beginning of the LPL's golden age, while the LCK is entering an absolute dark age.

It's time for the LCK to experience the dark ages that the LPL went through back then.

The live broadcast showed the LGD match stage, and Di Wu pointed to the "LGD" team jersey on his chest.

This time!
LGD will never let LPL fall into a dark age again!
His voice trembled slightly in Godv's secondary live stream.
"Jin Nick, go for it! We're in the semifinals, only two... two best-of-five series away from the championship!"

Godv clenched his fists, recalling his first appearance at the World Championship as the LPL's number one seed.

Perhaps the past was filled with regrets, but the future will be created by Gnik!
At LGD's Hangzhou base, the LGD owner nodded firmly.

Her team-building strategy is sound; every player on LGD is gradually finding their rhythm!

We've made it to the semifinals!!!
With this record, if there's a buff in the support position next year...

Gnik will absolutely not leave!

The official interview booth after the match also invited the absolute protagonist of this BO5!
"Let's welcome LDG's Gnik!!!"

Luo Xin looked at Di Wu beside her.

Her eyes revealed a thirst for attention; if interviewing Di Wu was somewhat torturous...
Now I'm just enjoying myself!
This is the result of increased fame. Gnik is now known not only in the LPL, but also in various regions, where people recognize this exceptionally talented mid-laner.

Even LCK media outlets have started comparing Di Wu's stats this year with Faker's performance in his first World Championship debut in S3.

"Hello everyone, I'm Gnik from the LGD team!"

Di Wu bowed slightly to the audience.

Luo Xin flashed a very professional smile: "Congratulations again to Gnik for winning this match!"

"This quarterfinal match is also an internal battle within our LPL. What were your thoughts on this internal battle draw after it was completed?"

Di Wu nodded slightly upon hearing this: "It's a bit of a pity! We really want to play against teams from other regions at the World Championship! But..."

"We will carry on with JDG's legacy!"

While listening to this backstage, Toothpaste lit a cigarette and nodded silently.

Chicken Bro!

Loyalty and righteousness!!!

Regardless of whether our region is qu or nb! We share the glory and the shame, and stand united against external forces in the World Championship!
But Kanavi's lips twitched slightly. Damn, he doesn't hold back at all when he's beating people up!

He was the one who beat people the most, and now he's also the one who's united with everyone.

What a joke!
You don't want to suffer at all?!

Luo Xin then asked the next question: "In the third game, Gnik picked Sylas to face Syndra. Why did he make that choice?"

This version of Sylas is more often used against cards with extremely fast support speed, and is rarely picked when facing Syndra.

"Hmm, I guess it's just a personal favorite hero? There's no particular reason!" Di Wu shook his head: "This laning phase mainly depends on..."

"The hero's ID above their head!"

???

Do you need to check the ID?

Luo Xin glanced at Di Wu.
Players who make it to the semifinals are something else; Gnik's aura is truly awe-inspiring.

No one at the scene could refute what he said!

Silas was chosen purely based on his ID in this match.

Luo Xin quickly moved on to the next topic: "Congratulations to LGD for advancing to the semifinals. Your opponent will be the winner of DRX and PSG in the next round! Who do you think will win the quarterfinals?" DRX was a team that performed well in the group stage, and in the fierce battle of Group A, they finally won the first place in the group and advanced.

They are the second seed from LCK, and they also have Chovy, a player hailed as a genius mid laner!

And then there's Deft, who's incredibly familiar to LPL viewers.

No matter how you look at it, the next round will allow DRX to easily defeat PSG and LGD to advance to the semifinals.

However, Di Wu smiled and said, "I don't really know!"

"There's a chance for everyone!"

???

Deft, sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but smile. He seemed to understand the meaning behind Di Wu's smile.

Deft is considered a legendary player, but his World Championship record...
That's how it is, maybe it's a curse, or maybe it's a bond with EDG.

His annual record is only the top eight, and he has never made a breakthrough!
This kid is implying he's cursed with the quarterfinals, isn't he?

"So, one last question. Now that we've reached the semifinals, as a player participating in the World Championship for the first time, what would you like to say about the upcoming knockout stage?"

Upon hearing this, Di Wu's expression turned slightly serious.
"Because it is my first World Championship, and everyone played very well this year!"

"For an esports player, the peak period may only last a few years. This opportunity in the World Championship is very important for me and my teammates!"

Whether it's the elderly Flandre or the little peanut who has gone through many twists and turns
Nobody knows how many more chances they'll have to enter the World Championship.

Peanut, in particular, as a South Korean esports player, is still required to serve in the military.

This makes their prime years even more precious.
Di Wu slightly raised his head, and the spotlights in the venue shone on him, making him appear to be shining brightly as he stood in the middle of the stage.

"I have to consider whether this might be our only chance in this lifetime!"

"So we're not thinking too much about it. Whoever our next opponent is, or the one after that, please trust us, fans."

"The last two BO5s! The last two BO5s of the year! We will bring the championship to LPL and LGD!"

Di Wu gripped the microphone tightly in his hand.
"There's no fine salt in the army!"

【Ding! 】

[Let's make another pledge! King of Comedy, we'll stand at the top of the ladder at Worlds! Win the final two best-of-five series, claim the Summoner's Cup! Become the ultimate King of Comedy!]

【mission rewards:? ? ? 】

Ok?
Di Wu narrowed his eyes slightly. Was the reward a question mark?

Indeed, these are the last two BO5s of the World Championship; this is the final chapter of the year!
Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in cheers. Even with security personnel on guard, some people still started doing handstands and celebrating backwards!
???

Many LCK fans who came to watch the game were dumbfounded! What's going on?
"Holy crap!? WTF? LPL is so trendy!"

"Brother Chicken!!! Waaaaah! I'm not very good at this, so I'll just celebrate by doing a handstand first!"

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice."

"You know what, Chicken Bro's career last year was really like walking on thin ice!"

"This brings us to the story of a legendary LPL kill king!"

"This is so exciting! Go LGD! Go LPL! Prime Minister, let's unite against the enemy!!"

Hearing this, even Lao K from the second route clenched his fists. Lao Ji really has it tough.
Perhaps what the audience saw was him eating with himself last year, but as the culprit and witness, only he could understand how much pressure Di Wu was under last year.

After all, OMG rotated its mid laners last year, and 2B from next door was eyeing Di Wu's mid lane position.

I often comfort Lao Ji myself!
"Wow, Lao Ji has had a tough time! He was almost forced to retire last year, but he's already in the semifinals this year!"

???

Lao K's words sparked an even bigger uproar in the live chat.

Why don't you mention at all that you were forced to retire?

"Life experience is still too important. Just like Xiao Yan, wasn't he suppressed for three years?"

"Hehehe? So, Lao K is still an old man? It's all for Lao Ji's good?"

"Flandre, Chicken Bro, what if we win the championship this year?! Tsk tsk tsk, I can't even imagine!"

While DWG was at their hotel, they were naturally also keeping an eye on LPL's number one seed.

This year's S-series champion can only be one of the remaining few, and LGD is definitely the most competitive opponent.

JDG and they were in the same group. If they hadn't lost a game against FLY, they might have had to play a tiebreaker.

Such a team was so easily defeated by LGD, and Xu Xiu stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"It's alright, don't worry too much. LGD's bot lane and jungler still look a bit weak!"

Danny touched his middle-parted hair. He had seen through it long ago. Peanut was now being used as an external brain by Gnik in the mid lane, but once he faced a top player, Diwu wouldn't have that much time to direct.

Often, it's up to Peanut to make the judgment. Peanut happens to be the kind of player who might be in the best position but then make the worst plays, which is somewhat similar to a legendary LPL player.
I think it's called something like that.
"Clearlove7 again?"

"Well, I didn't think that much about it. I just felt... about what Brother Chicken said..."

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

So handsome!
Xu Xiu's eyes couldn't help but gleam.
It sounds familiar, but it's so cool!
He stole that sentence!

Chovy's settlement animation, and Bin's planned entrance animation.
Xu Xiu has already mastered your brother Ji's pre-match tough talk!
Of course, Gnik, like the sun, shines selflessly on everyone.

You can use Chicken Bro's lines as you like, as long as you don't apply for a patent!
"Yes, that's right. We just need to beat the players in our own half of the bracket first!"

Canyon nodded seriously. SN is no weak team.

Group A, this "group of death," has three very strong teams, and they need to take their next match against SN seriously.

After TES and LGD secured their spots in the top four, all LPL fans' attention turned to SN.

Bin would never let go of this opportunity to step forward.

On BB Space and Weibo, his official account posted a single sentence.

"Please believe in us, we will definitely defeat DWG!"

A sentence was added on the next line.
"There's no fine salt in the army!"

The comment below completely exploded.

"What? Even Bin doesn't like salt? LPL players really don't like things too salty?"

Chicken Bro: Wait, buddy? Where's the pledge?

"Was there a famous scholar during the Three Kingdoms period who liked to imitate others by making pledges of allegiance to the army? Who was it? It's so hard to guess!"

"Go Bin! Don't lie to us, you have to beat DWG!"

LPL still has quite a few fans who support their teams and Bin.
However, from this point on, Bin's reputation score seems to have dropped.

This quarter-final match was incredibly fierce.
DWG's comprehensive lead made it very difficult for SN to maintain their dominance, especially Xu Xiu, who was the most consistent player and showed everyone another talented young mid laner from LCK.

Xu Xiu's Orianna twisting Huanfeng's Elder Dragon Ezreal became a famous moment in the World Championship.

This series was quite exciting, with Sofm surprising everyone with his Rengar and Shen picks.

SN managed to defeat DWG in this series, proving their strength and earning respect despite the loss.
but
Bin lied to us!!!

When the score was locked at 3-1, the DWG members slowly got up and walked towards SN.

Bin seemed a little dazed, and instead of bowing, he simply shook hands with the DWG members.

His mind was filled with the image of his Fiora pentakill in the second game. After all, he had earned an MVP, right?

Niu Guli. Despicable!

In the last game, he actually played a sheep. As a top laner like TheShy, this was really making TheShy look bad.

He'll be kicked out of Shy's group!

Bin didn't know that from this moment on, the champion Ornn would be inextricably linked to him!
After the match, Bin immediately posted on Weibo.
I'm sorry, it's a pity we lost the game, but there are many more championships to come!

All three classic elements are present.
However, there were still quite a few haters and trolls commenting on Bin in the comments section.

Young Bin hid under the covers and cried that night.
But it's okay, Bin won't be discouraged by these setbacks.
The sun is about to rise!

As a new day begins, Bin will forget yesterday's failures.

DWG has also secured a spot in the World Championship semifinals.
This match against SN not only showcased SN's potential but also revealed the terrifying power of DWG.

This also made everyone in the LPL realize...
LCK is back!

. . . . . .

　Day 3 is done!
