League of Legends: I, with maxed-out stats, randomly descend upon the S-series.

Backstage.

T1 team rest area.

His gaze fell on the large electronic screen, watching Lin Jin and Zuo Shou being interviewed. Faker's heart had calmed down by this time.

In fact, he had already considered this consequence when they were down 2-0.

No matter how far behind we are in the past, we are fearless and full of hope that we can turn things around.

But today, it's definitely far from that level.

Whether it's their mentality, their competitive state, or what they're unwilling to admit... their raw strength.

The biggest difference lies in the road.

Faker's thoughts returned to his coach.

Head coach Benji didn't review the game content; instead, he kept talking about everyone's mindset.

He talked about everyone, and then he got to Zeus, who was on the road.

He bluntly said, "You got blown up by Fire three times in a row."

"The gap between you and Fire is enormous."

Zeus lowered his head and remained silent, but his eyes seemed unfocused.

The silly chicken continued, "Of course, I don't mean to blame you."

"Our coaching staff also made mistakes in their intelligence regarding Top Esports and Fire."

"His strength was terrifyingly powerful, which was completely unnoticed."

"It has exceeded all our previous predictions."

"But you, Zeus, have also failed all of us in our expectations of you."

At this moment, Zeus also raised his head, his tone full of self-reproach, but his expression was somewhat angry.

Is losing the game entirely my fault?

I have a pot, but doesn't any of you here have one?

Of course, Zeus didn't say these thoughts aloud.

He just stammered:

"I'm sorry, I've let everyone down."

"I didn't want to either. When I was firing at my lane opponent, the pressure felt...incredible."

"I tried everything I could, but I still couldn't stop Fire from carrying. I felt so frustrated."

"The gap is indeed huge, but I also feel that I haven't been able to communicate well with my teammates, and I've never been able to take enough care of the upper half of the map..."

That's what he said, but it angered Oner.

Oner thought to himself, "Have I not taken care of him yet?"

How many times have I caught you on the road?

Every time you make a good play, you either get outplayed by Fire or get counter-killed. What more do you want from me?

Oner also said in an unhappy tone:

"I feel a bit tired from running around all over the place. I've never lost in the jungle."

"Of course, I don't have enough dragons, there's nothing I can do about it, it's definitely my problem."

The chicken frowned slightly. "You're supposed to talk about your own problems, but it's turned into a blame-shifting session."

The supervisor then came over and stopped the argument.

"Okay, I know everyone is upset about losing the game, and I am too."

"But the result is already decided, and even if we think there are problems with the competition procedure, we can no longer refute it."

He then looked at the team leader and others beside him, as if asking a question:

"During the side selection process, did the referee deliberately favor Top Esports?"

The others: "Yes, that's possible."

The supervisor sneered, "Heh, I knew it would be like this."

"But it's okay, we will acknowledge the result of the match, but the way the other side won the match may not have been fair and square."

"Justice is on our side."

The staff seemed to agree with this statement, and some even seriously planned to write a report to report on the issue of the coin toss between Top Esports and the team to decide the first side in the first game.

They felt they had been treated unfairly.

Of course, this is very much in line with their national conditions.

Faker looked at it, shook his head slightly, and felt a deep sense of disdain.

Only then did he speak:

"So, that's all for S12."

"We need to learn to accept all of this, just like we need to learn to accept our loss in the S11 semifinals."

"If you think losing to DK and losing to TES are different, then I have nothing to say."

"Whether it's an LCK team or an LPL team, they are all our opponents at the World Championship, it's the same for everyone."

"Losing 3-2 or 3-0, the result is the same."

"Try to accept it, and keep trying next year."

Everyone slowly raised their heads, nodded, and acknowledged Faker's words.

To put it bluntly, the four young players may disobey the coach's orders, but they will never disobey Faker.

Zeus's mood also improved significantly.

However, no one was entirely confident.

Will T1 still have these five players next year?

Even Faker wasn't sure.

…………

After the interview, back in the lounge, Lin Jin and the club staff hugged and celebrated with each other.

At this time, his teammates were all out interviewing and had not returned.

During Jack Spicy Dance's interview with Yu Shuang in the LPL region, Yu Shuang was very excited and talked a lot, which made the interview last a long time.

When Yu Shuang asked about Lin Jin, Jack Spicy Dance became very excited:

"Brother Huo is too awesome."

"He's the world's best top laner!"

The screen was flooded with comments:

"Approval from my brother!"

"Brother is amazing! The world's best top laner should come and thank me!"

Horse Head: Huh? What about me?

"What the hell is this? Don't get involved."

"I know Huozi is super popular now. I'm not going to say who's most anxious about it, haha."

"Jack is back in the finals, Huozi is the number one top laner, who's getting anxious? Hehe."

Yu Shuang finally asked Jack about his thoughts on the final round.

Jack Lay maintains his commanding presence:

"Since we've come this far, let's see it through to the end."

Thank you everyone for your support and love for Top Esports!

Back in the lounge, everyone had gathered.

Guo Hao looked around, his smile almost impossible to hide.

"Haha, thanks guys!"

"You guys were amazing today! So awesome!"

"Sweep T1! Who said we can't beat T1?"

"Let's break this curse today!"

"Gentlemen, you are all heroes! Everyone is!"

"From now on, in the LPL, you guys, don't flame me!"

Everyone was laughing.

Mark said, "Haha, you're overthinking it, Hao. If we lose the finals, we'll get roasted just the same when we get back."

Gao Tianliang also laughed and said, "Yes, the audience only wants to see everyone win; they'll criticize us if we lose even once."

Jack said sassily, "Don't say anything discouraging. We'll definitely win the finals!"

Lin Jin and the others smiled and began to applaud.

At this moment, the camera followed everyone's perspective, filming them all before stopping in front of Lin Jin.

"Come on, let's have Little Fire say a few words, oh no, I mean Brother Fire."

Guo Hao led the applause, smiling as he said, "He was so dominant today."

"Roar roar roar!"

Everyone was making a fuss.

Lin Jin waved his hand somewhat awkwardly, leaned back in his chair without standing up, and tilted his head as he said:

"Um, Hao-ge, how about we order first? What are we having for dinner?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, bending over backwards.
