Orphan Road King [Esports]

The next day was the semi-finals of the other half, against the two No. [-] seeds from China and Europe.

In the group stage, RJ lost to LU in the extra match and fell to the second place in the group, and their opponent UOG was the UOG who beat LU in the playoffs in the division.

Before the start of the match, many viewers felt that as long as UOG played well, the possibility of the two LPL teams meeting in the final was not small.

UOG fans appealed to each other, don't let the loan go to the finals, it will be embarrassing if you lose.Helpless, there are too many passers-by, and there are many people waiting for the Chinese division to win the championship.

You Song heard that Luo Xinyu had read a bunch of posts about painting cakes, and was very worried: "This is putting UOG on fire..."

"Yes, but there is no way. Now that everyone is expecting so much, can they come out and say that they don't have such high expectations for us?" Luo Xinyu said helplessly, "I can only bite the bullet and fight."

"Oh." You Song sighed, "Public opinion is harmful."

Public opinion is indeed harmful. After the third seed LU entered the finals, the second seed ZXG, who only made it to the quarterfinals, was dragged out and whipped.

Because their team's performance in the past few seasons has been mediocre, and they don't have many fans. At this time, their combat effectiveness is almost zero, so they can only let the whole team be ridiculed all over the place.

What's even more ironic is that the reason why the major forums finally stopped holding meetings for ZXG players is that UOG lost the semifinals.

The audience who took over the crown and Asia couldn't accept it, and pointed their finger at UOG, scolding them for embarrassing LPL.

It just so happened that the finals were about a week away, and the idle and bored audience continued to output the UOG crowd.

Some people even dug up the games they lost in the first half of the summer split when they hadn't adjusted their state, trying to prove that UOG's summer championship was missed.

"Real is the worst. He is already too old. Many people repeat the old saying that if he can't keep up, he should retire. It's like he hasn't had a C in the summer." During this week, Luo Xinyu The happy time before going to bed every day turned into an angry time, "It's so miserable, two summer crowns, two FMVPs, and in the end, I just asked why I haven't retired."

You Song: "Don't look at it, the more you look at it, the angrier you get."

"I haven't seen much in the past two days." Luo Xinyu sighed, "A few more times like this, I really want to quit the forum."

"The main reason is that you used this thing as a pastime, but now you can't do it anymore, and you will only feel uncomfortable after watching it, so what else is there to watch." You Song concluded, "It's better to watch one more video before going to bed."

Luo Xinyu: "...you overestimate me!"

"After the training match and the replay, and then rank so many times, I have to watch the video again before going to bed. I can really become a fairy." He said.

"Are you okay?" You Song really thought it was nothing.

Luo Xinyu was speechless, and finally could only say that you are too scary and don't want to talk to you.

You Song: "Then you go to sleep, I'll turn off the lights after I've finished reading this."

Basically, everyone is tired all day. If you don’t play with your mobile phone, relax and lie down, you usually fall asleep soon.

When You Song finished watching the video in his hand and was recording it in the memo on his mobile phone, there was even a slight snoring sound from the bed next door.

He eased his hands and feet to brush his teeth.

While brushing my teeth, I casually checked Weibo, only to be taken aback.

UOG mid laner Real, Tang Jiashi, who has been sprayed for five days, posted a Weibo 3 minutes ago.

[@realReal: I didn't play well in this World Championship. I've been sorting out my thoughts for the past few days, but I still haven't really recovered.

Now let’s think of what to say, my education level is not high, I just want to tell you a few words of truth at the last moment of my career, I hope everyone will forgive me.

It has been almost six years since I started playing professionally. Compared with many of my peers, I am relatively lucky. At least I have won the league championship, but I have not been able to break through myself in the S game.

Before I set off to play in the World Championship this year, I told the team that no matter what the result is, this will be my last season.I think every professional player hopes that the day he retires will not be too embarrassing, and I am the same, but unfortunately, I still did not perform well in the end.

I'm really sorry that I failed everyone's expectations.

To be honest, being a professional player is very stressful, but winning a game is also really fun.

I have never regretted this journey. In the future, I should rest for a while. When there are follow-up plans, I will officially notify everyone.grateful. 】

You Song didn't pay attention to Tang Jiashi, but both Xue Yanchao and Jin You had a good relationship with Tang Jiashi. Tang Jiashi posted a message announcing his retirement, and the two of them posted in seconds, and they naturally came to his homepage.

After reading each line, he changed from initial shock to stunned, for a moment he forgot to continue to move the toothbrush in the other hand.

He thought that Tang Jiashi would be very frustrated if he failed to break through last year's results and enter the finals this time, but he never imagined that the opponent actually wanted to retire, and it was decided early on.

As a person who had a somewhat private relationship with Tang Jiashi, he was quite frightened, let alone ordinary fans in the circle.

Under Tang Jiashi's Weibo post, there were almost all question marks and tearful shoutouts.

You Song's mood was indescribable, he couldn't help looking for Xue Yanchao, and asked if there was really nothing to turn around.

Xue Yanchao said yes, he had indeed said before leaving for the United States that he would retire this year after playing.

You Song: "This... feels like he can still fight."

Xue Yanchao's answer was that he had high demands on himself and couldn't accept many of his performances this year, so he didn't want to force himself.

"Although the audience scolded badly during this period, in fact, the semi-finals of the S game is really not shameful. Generally speaking, it's not too late. It's actually pretty good."

You Song was speechless.

On the one hand, he felt that it was indeed reasonable, but on the other hand, it was a pity.

But this kind of matter has a personal choice. As an outsider, he has no right to comment, and in the end he can only sleep with sighs.

When I woke up the next day, "Real posted a long post announcing his retirement" was indeed a hot search.

The whole circle was shaken for a while, and even the forums that were the most ruthless about UOG in the past few days changed their style of painting, and began to feel sorry for Tang Jiashi.

You Song glanced at Luo Xinyu's screen, and found that the homepage of the forum had started posting highlights of Tang Jiashi's Tianxiu, and felt absurd.

They are the ones who scolded people to death and asked why they didn't retire, and they are also the ones who show regret and praise now.

So boring.

The only good thing is probably that after announcing his retirement, Tang Jiashi himself really doesn't care about these messy comments.

The frequency of his speeches in the group has skyrocketed, and it seems that he plans to invite a few retired players to travel together.

"It's good. He used to be a top-notch fighter. He didn't rest even when the whole world was on holiday. It's even more exaggerated than you." Xue Yanchao commented, "You can understand it."

You Song resisted the urge to complain, and continued to chat with him about Tang Jiashi's retirement, saying, "Then UOG should buy mid laner in this transfer window."

Xue Yanchao said that's for sure, their second team is at the bottom of the LDL, and the position of mid laner is extremely important. Even if they don't buy a famous team, they have to be a little demon who has made some splashes in the secondary league.

"Anyway, this year's transfer period should be quite exciting, but how exciting it is depends on the results of tomorrow's final."

You Song: "?"

Xue Yanchao: "The six players on LU's roster are all due this year. If they win the world championship, their value will increase, and the big teams will not be crazy about it."

He didn't say that You Song really didn't know that LU's six-man lineup for the World Championship was all due to expire this year.

But You Song felt that even so, it was not impossible for all of them to renew their contracts.

No one can say for sure about this kind of thing.

What's more, the six people in LU have a very good relationship.

After hearing what he said, Xue Yanchao was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, if we really win the championship, it is definitely better to go our separate ways than to renew the contracts of all the members."

League of Legends is a game of one version after another. If you win the championship in this version, besides being strong, there is another reason that this is the version that suits you.

Waiting until the next version, especially when the championship team arrives in the next version, it is inevitable that they will not adapt to the changes.

This is also the reason why consecutive championships are rare.

In order to maintain the vitality of the game and the excitement of the game, the last thing a game company wants to see is for a certain team to dominate forever.

So what Xue Yanchao said is right, after the championship team wins the championship, it is indeed the best choice to go their separate ways.

As a newcomer, You Song was a little naive.

Of course, the finals hadn't even started yet.

Everything is just an assumption.

……

On the night of the final, the Nakano group organized another wave of wheat-watching competitions.

Everyone was ready to watch a close Bo5 like last time. As a result, RJ met LU, who had lost twice in the group stage, and lost at the beginning. The suspense was lost early in the first game.

In the second game, they may want to play more proactively and design a first-level regiment.

LU was caught in their ambush, and came up with a 0-3 kill ratio. The laning phase was very difficult.

But after the laning period, LU, who is good at playing small groups, became like a fish in water. Not to mention tying up the disadvantage within 5 minutes, he even used the top laner Ryze to play a steal.

When they used this trick in the league, they were disturbed by Ye Hang's blind sighted Zoe who threw bubbles. Now they use it in the World Championship, paying more attention to vision and squatting defense, and finally achieved the desired result.

So the second one was also successfully won.

At this time, RJ has stood on the edge of the cliff, and LU is only one step away from the championship.

Sitting in the base, You Song felt that he had it, but in order to avoid poisonous milk, he was still very cautious in speaking.

After the third game, RJ tried his best, and finally played a close game, and operated steadily, relying on the lineup advantage to get back a point.

But this also directly caused the fourth LU to start to speed up from the mid-term, and played a speed push round that ended in more than 20 minutes.

3-1, LU won the world championship and won the trophy!

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and the commentator could hardly keep his voice steady.

On the live broadcast screen, ribbons and scraps of paper were floating in the entire venue at this moment, like stardust.

That was the scene that any professional player would yearn for.

"The third seed won the championship, which is dramatic and amazing." Wu Quan said, "I feel that Li Xiuxian is about to become a god. He is a champion supporter in his career, and he is also a champion coach when he is a coach."

"It's amazing to think about it that way..."

"Yes."

"Ah! Is the FMVP going to be awarded?"

"Yes, guess the top order."

"It must be the top laner, the four are counterpoint suppression!"

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the official Riot company award presenter who was invited to the stage also announced the Final MVP winner of this tournament after giving a speech——

"Bastard, congratulations!"

The camera cut to Xu Jiyang at the right time, giving a close-up shot.

Those who turn on the highest quality live broadcast can even see the tears that are about to shed from the corners of his eyes at this moment.

"He won't cry on stage!"

"It's understandable to cry, but I would cry too."

"I'm awed, awed, really awesome."

You Song didn't speak, he was waiting for his good friend who had just received the trophy to speak.

Xu Jiyang stood in the center of the stage, rubbed his eyes, finally held back his tears, and thanked all his teammates.

After thanking the teammates, thanking the fans, thanking the fans, family and friends, none of them were missed.

He didn't mention You Song's name, but he specifically said this sentence: "From the beginning of the group stage, my friends have been encouraging me, saying that as long as I maintain my form, I may not be able to win the championship. I don't know if he thought of me when he said that. Really able to win the championship, but really thankful that he has been encouraging me."
