Chapter 204 Happy Birthday
Xu Yuan never thought of this in his dreams. Uzidu didn't have the skin of the Golden Shovel yet, so Riot gave him this thing first. To say it is reasonable, it is indeed reasonable. It's really possible based on the urine properties of the fist, mainly because it has been released before, and Lee Sang Hyuk was not the Triple Crown winner when it was released. But let’s say it’s unreasonable… That’s really unreasonable! There are so many champions, why give him a single one? At least Xu Yuan feels that even if he won a Grand Slam last year, he should not be worthy of this ranking. You need two crowns to guarantee it, and others will be convinced, right? The current results may not be enough.
However, he is not afraid. "Just take it as a spur," That's what he thought. Not enough results but overpaid. It is bound to be criticized. Xu Yuan doesn't care about this. Isn't it just that the results are not enough? Winning another championship this year, wouldn’t it be enough? Just take one more and all doubts will disappear. Because there are not many players who have won the championship in their debut, there are really only a few players who have won an honor like Fmvp in their debut and then won the championship the next year. So he is also the one who reacts the fastest. "It seems that Riot Games likes me quite a lot. I'm very grateful for their love. I use this skin as a motivation." "I will try my best to win the world championship this year and try not to let them down." In the live broadcast room, the indifferent young man smiled and spoke. The rhythm that might have started on the barrage. It just dispersed quietly. Everyone has said this, but it’s obvious that I don’t even know. Riot Games has exposed itself, and now the players involved are being questioned. Isn't this a fist problem?
Listen, listen!
Will use this skin as a motivation!
There is nothing wrong with this, and it makes people feel comfortable listening to it. With the end of the live broadcast, this matter has also started to ferment around the world.
After all, the last player to receive such treatment from Riot Games was Lee Sang Hyuk. Lee Sang Hyuk now has three championships, and he deserves to be the first in LOL. As long as he has the kind of treatment, everyone will not feel that Fist is partial, but will only feel that it is natural. The first person should be treated like this. Xu Yuan, as a player, has only made his debut two years ago. Although he performed very well last year, he also won all competitions throughout the year and achieved a Grand Slam achievement. But if I have to say it, it is definitely not as convincing as Lee Sang Hyuk’s triple crown. It will naturally be questioned. Among them, the one with the most doubts is naturally the LCK. After all, just as LPL viewers are unhappy watching LCK, LCK viewers are also unhappy watching LPL. As the only championship team in the LPL, EDG is now highly concerned by the LCK audience. Suddenly a skin was released for their core players. Are you kidding me? We also have a lot of players who have won two LCK titles! Although there are not many FMVP players, there are some. Why?
Many people have very strong association skills:
It is known that Riot Games has been acquired by Tengzi. It is also known that Tengzi is the organizer of LPL. It is concluded that Tengzi is equal to LPL. And Savior is currently the only core player in EDG in the LPL. Case solved!
This is the special treatment Naked Fist gave to please his father Tengzi!
People don’t suffer from scarcity but from inequality. How can Korean netizens be calm?
"KK, this is real capital!" "The rubbish division that wins one championship in seven years is really...shameless." "Please understand, it took a lot of effort for someone to win a championship that we don't care about. Isn't it even weirder if they don't do their best to market it? After all, we have so many champions, and they only have five of them, and now one of them has already arrived with us. It’s over.” "The player Savior has indeed performed well, but I don't think he deserves the honor. Xiba LPL is doing some tricks again!" One sentence can sum up the thoughts of Korean netizens: Ugh!
capital! !
Although everyone in the LPL was quite shocked, not many people criticized Xu Yuan. After all, everyone saw Xu Yuan's efforts. Anyone with any semblance of brains knows that even one of his players cannot influence Riot's thinking. So most of them are criticizing fist. Putting other players on the fire for no reason, I really miss him.
If Xu Yuan fails to win the championship this year, Riot Games and Xu Yuan will likely be ridiculed by the world. Even if the main force is not aimed at him, it will affect him. "Sima Fist, you can come up with new skins and make money by yourself. Why do you have to bring players with you?" "I'm old Yuanzi. There is no doubt that Yuanzi's favorite hero is Xayah. Other than that, it's definitely Jinx. She went crazy in the S7 Spring Split." "Indeed, a hero like Vayne will be released only after he has moved out all the ADs that can be used. I don't like it very much at first glance. Riot has to release a skin for Yuanzi. Then we have to change it to Jinx, right?" "My Yuanyuan already has Xia's skin, EDG. Xia Boots! As for this Vayne skin, I really don't know where the pheasant came from, and it wants to become a phoenix when it flies on a branch?" "Xiao Mouse, my Xia Yifei is gone in seconds, Mullet Zi, I'd better leave this groundie to the skinless Rambo human body thief Aiba boots next door." "NBCs, please don't take my Yuanyuan along with you." However, in addition to cynicism about Riot Games, some players also have the same idea as Korean netizens, thinking that Tengzi may have taken action. So they all joked, "Alas, capital!" "Are these Tengzi's big hands? Tengzi's big hands are so warm!" "What are you doing? Our LPL is like this. After all, the fists belong to our LPL. Are you not convinced? If you can't afford it, then stop playing. You deserve it!" "One thing to say, the original painting and special effects are quite good, especially the original painting. After I saw it, I couldn't help but move!" “Excellent skin, makes my circumference glow.” Things fermented until the next day. European and American players are also blown away. You gave it to LPL, and you gave it to LCK. What about our own? Why, our own European and American champion players are no longer players? It's already miserable enough that the skin has no special effects. Now everyone has Faq, but we don't! ? Don't talk about ancient champions, why aren't ancient champions champions?
The American company controlled by the evil CN Capital, get out of North America! But soon, because the Koreans became more noisy, the Europeans and Americans fell silent again. Because they have become fun people. To put it bluntly, European and American veterans have always been like this. Between having fun and creating fun, they generally choose to have fun. Originally, many Korean netizens were ready to take the opportunity to scold Xu Yuan. After all, this ridiculous game was so satisfying that Korean netizens hated him so much that they couldn't find a chance to complain. Now they can find a chance.
but…… In the middle of the night, Xu Yuan's live broadcast video was posted to the Reddit forum. His humble statement suddenly sobered the audience. Even Koreans felt quite comfortable when they heard him say this, because in their view, this was equivalent to Xu Yuan admitting that he is not as good as Lee Sang Hyuk now. That's good. People take it as motivation, and they implicitly express that they feel unworthy now. Then there is no need to rush into others. So Korean netizens vented all their anger on their fists. So...what was Riot's reaction to this? No response! Don't forget, Riot doesn't care about this at all. I really don’t care. For details, you can refer to their strong recommendation of a player, which is:
Chooooooooooovy! This is more CJB's mid laner than the left hand. Obviously the World Championship score is an ugly 88848, but he was praised by fists. How hard is it?
A loser from the top eight can look evenly matched with Xu Xiu in the S11 World Championship MV. Some people say this is because Chovy is Xu Xiu's old enemy in the league, so it makes sense for him to be in the World Championship MV. This statement is totally funny. This is the fucking World Championship MV, not a summary of the whole year. Chovy in the World Championship just accomplished nothing. Moreover, this kind of treatment is not the first time. The S12 World Championship skin is the Tsar, and in the review of the S11 World Championship MV, Chovy is the one piloting the Tsar mecha skin. It’s really a compliment. Chovy's strength is like a left-handed tire. I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. But the fists are still strong and they go their own way. So it’s impossible to expect Riot to respond to the anger of Korean netizens online. "Hello everyone, my name is Lee Sang Hyuk." "Savior is an excellent player and a very hard-working player. He is still very young. I believe he has the potential to compete with me in the future." "We are players, but we are just players."
"We cannot influence any decisions made by Riot Games. I hope everyone will think rationally and not make groundless accusations against my teammates." "Savior helped me a lot during my days at EDG. We are now good teammates and fighting partners. We will work hard to win the world championship together." "Thank you for your support." After Li Sang Hyuk returned to his bedroom, he had been thinking about how to help Xu Yuan. In the end, this person who almost never posted many tweets on social platforms spent a long time at night. Such a tweet was sent out on all the domestic and foreign social platforms he was on. For this reason, he also had a little conflict with his agent. After the manager knew that Lee Sang Hyuk wanted the password for his account, it was not like he had not tried to persuade him. "He is a player in the LPL. He was so rude to the LCK last year. Many Korean netizens don't like him. This time they took this opportunity to scold Savior. If you stand up and speak for him now, they will come over. I scolded you.” "It's not necessary, Sang Hyuk." However, Lee Sang Hyuk remained unmoved and calmly typed out such a piece of news. "But he is my recognized friend and teammate, and I can't just sit back and watch." "If they really want to scold me, then let them scold me. It's not like I haven't been scolded before." broker:…… Following Lee Sang Hyuk's message, Korean netizens indeed began to shift their targets. Instead of scolding Xu Yuan, he turned to scolding Fist. People who hate Lee Sang Hyuk began to take the opportunity to export Lee Sang Hyuk. "Have you completely forgotten which country you are from after going to LPL?" "KK, you still study Chinese every day. Even the post-match interviews are in Chinese. If you don't understand, just ask, is Faker Chinese?" "As expected, he is a mousy dog. Now that his CN teammates are being scolded, he is getting angry." Lee Sang Hyuk watched silently, turned off his phone without sadness and prepared to go to sleep. dong dong dong. There was a knock on the door. Li Sang Hyuk was slightly startled and opened the door. "Xu Yuan?" "What can I say... There is no need for you to participate." It was almost late at night, and he was wearing dinosaur pajamas. Under his messy hair, his bright eyes were filled with laughter and tears. "You're my teammate."
Lee Sang Hyuk smiled. "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will not allow them to make such groundless accusations." Although his expression was calm, his tone was very serious. Xu Yuan realized that Lee Sang Hyuk was not joking. He was a little moved and said no more. "Well, if there are so many doubts... let's break it with results." "This year, let's win the championship." Lee Sang Hyuk rubbed his neck, "Isn't that natural?" "Go back and rest early, Xu Yuan." "Ah." Xu Yuan responded without going in. He waved his hand and turned around. "Thank you." "Brother Li." Looking at his back as he walked away, Li Sang Hyuk was slightly startled. He leaned against the door, glanced at the bright moonlight in the sky, and laughed softly. "Stinky boy..." I have to say that he was quite happy when Brother Li shouted. There is a sense of relief that no one was helped in vain. Time passed bit by bit. The heat of the matter gradually dissipated. The fists have always been ignored, and no matter how hard the netizens charged, they could not help but feel discouraged. They began to set their sights on the upcoming MSI. Aren’t you using your fists to blow your daddy in a different way?
Then let MSI test the waters! Let’s see if he has the strength or is he just an ordinary version champion! During this time, one player also had sleepless nights. That's Uzi. After seeing Riot's MSI-themed skin, Vayne the Conqueror, his first reaction was that Riot made a skin for himself. Although he said, "Oh, what's the use of this? It must be the S game champion skin that is the real player skin."
But I was still very happy. After all, this was a treatment that only Faker had before. Are you already on par with Faker in the eyes of Riot Games? Then I think this matter is really... Thai cool!
Then the next moment, he became embarrassed. Because the designer on the screen made it clear that this was to commemorate Xu Yuan’s outstanding performance at the 2017 MSI. Now, Uzi's feeling is no different from eating shit. Sorry, Ma Fei!
You know, although Uzi has already admitted in his heart that Xu Yuan performed very well in winning the championship last year and deserves to win this championship. I can't compare to him. But when I saw that Xu Yuan chose Xia's skin in S7, Uzi was relieved. He was really a little afraid that Xu Yuan would choose Wei En. In Uzi's mind, he definitely wanted to be the first to give Vayne a skin. It's a pity that this opportunity has been snatched away by Piglet. So he made up his mind that if he wins the championship, he must be the first LPL champion to choose Vayne. Xu Yuan had chosen Wei En's skin, but he didn't.
This made Uzi sigh in relief. However? Damn fist, it seems because Xu Yuan didn’t choose Vayne, but instead gave Xu Yuan an MSI Vayne skin! This makes it difficult for Uzi to stand up to. I have been taking this medicine for so many years and I haven’t even seen a trace of my skin. Why do you have two? It's not fair! unfair!
So even though Wu Zi didn't say a word about the current controversy on the Internet, he still wanted to see Xu Yuan's jokes. I am afraid that my brother will have a hard life, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive Lu Rover. Besides, Xu Yuan is not his brother. Uzi's thinking is quite normal. It's a pity that everything ended like this after Lee Sang Hyuk left the game. So Uzi couldn't sleep. Monday, May 7th. Today is a sunny day.
Li Sang Hyuk got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes in a daze, washed up and walked out of the dormitory. But when he came to the training room, he was a little confused. "What about people?" There was not even a single figure in the huge training room. He rubbed his head in confusion and didn't think much about it. It's already a holiday now, so it's normal that no one is around. Maybe Xu Yuan just went out to have hot pot with Imp and the others. Xu Yuan has a very good relationship with imp, and Lee Sang Hyuk is fully aware of it. Because when Ah Shui was setting up the game, Xu Yuan also asked him to join him. Lee Sang Hyuk also went there and felt pretty good about imp, his former rival. But at night, Lee Sang Hyuk felt something was wrong. "It's already seven o'clock in the evening, why is there still no one there?" Except for the staff, basically no players from the League of Legends team were seen in the base. With such doubts, Lee Sang Hyuk prepared to walk to his dormitory after dinner as usual, preparing to take a shower and then conduct evening training. At this time, Lee Sang Hyuk's dormitory had completely changed. The originally monotonous dormitory has been hung with various fireworks, and in the center of the room is a small table that has been moved. There is a big cake on the table. Above is a sentence written in Chinese and Korean: Lee Sang Hyuk, happy birthday! "Why hasn't he come here yet? We have been setting it up for a long time." Smeb couldn't wait. "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to gank him this time!" Xu Yuan was full of confidence. "To be honest, I'm a little surprised that you can remember Lee Sang Hyuk's birthday. You don't have a crush on Sang Hyuk, right?" Smeb sighed. Isn't this iron crush? Xu Yuan smiled, "Are you talking about you? He spoke for me a few days ago, and I just found out that his birthday is on May 7th. This must be repaid." "Oh, that's fine."
Smeb suddenly understood. This makes sense. "Come on, come on! Stop talking!" Xiaotian peeked his head out of the room and happened to see Lee Sang Hyuk coming back, looking like a sneaky bastard. Then everything returned to calm. Lee Sang Hyuk was thinking about why there was no one. The moment he opened the door, he turned on the light in the room. At the moment it lit up, several fireworks suddenly erupted in the room. Lee Sang Hyuk looked shocked when he saw his teammates holding fireworks in their hands. They all have bright smiles on their faces,
"Faker, happy birthday!" Li Sang Hyuk was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously smiled. "Ah, thanks." Honestly, birthdays and stuff. He actually really forgot. After all, the main theme of a professional player is always training, and he is so immersed in training that he doesn't care about birthdays at all. In the past, in the LCK, kkoma took the lead in celebrating. After coming to LPL, Lee Sang Hyuk never thought that his teammates would know about his birthday, let alone that they would help him celebrate. KKoma looked at Lee Sang Hyuk who seemed to be stunned with a smile on his face, feeling a little emotional. "Sang Hyuk, you have also met new friends who are as good as those SKT teammates." At the same time, he has more confidence in whether EDG can achieve good results this year. It's a very simple reason, the team's cohesion has increased. Speaking of cohesion may be a bit mythical, but it is real. Some teams just don't have much cohesion and are formed purely on their worth. Such a team may be fine when it performs well, but once it faces setbacks, it is likely to fall apart in the second year. Because there is no cohesion among the players, everyone is just a mercenary in the final analysis. Just be a colleague, why put so much emotion into it? If you work hard for a year and still fail to get results, you will naturally choose to leave without hesitation. Just like in S13. Obviously they had won a lot of championships, but just because they fell to the semi-finals again, everything seemed to be in vain.
Not long after I returned, I began to disintegrate. There is no sense of belonging to the team. The current EDG is obviously different. Players will actively maintain this relationship of friends. They can also cooperate more closely when playing games. After a while, Lee Sang Hyuk was put on the birthday hat that the birthday boy should wear today, and sat in front of the cake on the small table. "Make a wish." Listening to the voices of his teammates, Lee Sang Hyuk nodded silently. Close your eyes, clasp your hands, and start directly... The girl is praying! After a short time passed, he opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth. "I promised." “Blow out the candles, blow out the candles!” Next, naturally comes the process of a birthday celebration. After blowing out the candles, Lee Sang Hyuk divided the cake with great care. The smile on his face never stopped. After finishing the cake, Lee Sang Hyuk also thanked his teammates seriously. "Thank you for helping me celebrate my birthday." "What's the point? We are all teammates." Xu Yuan smiled nonchalantly. This night, EDG played very well. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bank party. Instead, after they went out for dinner, they came back and started the classic Dragon Pit Mundo ax throwing. There was endless laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was very joyful. Because it was live broadcast, this joyful mood was also passed on to the audience, making them very happy to watch. And SKT at this time... Li Rucan ate the rice cake as if chewing wax, and looked at the happy EDG people on the screen without blinking. Returning to SKT's life was not as happy as he thought. Although I don’t know much about the high-level game as a player, I can get a rough idea from the ever-changing teammates and coaching staff. There was intrigue all day long.
In terms of competition, this year's SKT is not very competitive at all. The current lineup of SKT does not have any possibility of winning the championship. This is something Li Rucan knows very well. He plays the game very hard, but this game is always for five people. Constantly changing teammates means there is not much running-in, and the results will naturally be poor. SKT fans also began to question him. "Is this the S7 champion mid laner?" "Why does it feel useless?" Such doubts are endless. Especially after SKT was very ugly and was taken away by KZ 3-0, this kind of public opinion reached its highest point. When Faker was here, he was rarely beaten so badly by other clubs. Li Rucan worked very hard, but sometimes hard work may not yield results. He has begun to miss EDG. There is no pressure at all on EDG. Everyone is working together to hit the championship that is somewhat out of reach. Is returning to LCK really a good choice?
Li Rucan already had the answer in his heart. Seeing Lee Sang Hyuk living so happily in EDG, he really couldn't hold it any longer. "Have you really made your decision?" Vaguely, he recalled the party after winning the championship. Xu Yuan's face was calmer than ever before, and he spoke coldly. Li Rucan put down the rice cake, collapsed on the gaming chair, and covered his face. If you miss it, you just missed it. He truly felt regretful. But what's the use of regret?
Wasn't it me who ruthlessly said that he wanted to leave EDG?
Looking back, SKT's training room was deserted. The laughter and laughter of the past seemed to exist only in his memory. On the 8th, EDG officially closed the team and began the final sprint training. After the short leisure time, EDG not only adjusted quickly, but the training effect was surprisingly good. Facts have proved that the idea of combining work and rest is really effective. "Look at me, look at me!"
"Open it! Kill him!" "Xi Ba, I asked you to call the jungler! Kill for me!!" "Vision! Vision!" The originally peaceful training room suddenly became passionate. Today, EDG's training match opponent is still IG. Otherwise, how can IG's players cope?
Although they are on vacation now, they are still willing to spend two or three hours a day playing a BO5 training match with EDG at home. KKoma looked around with satisfaction behind the players, nodding from time to time. "Are you going tomorrow?" Abu communicated with him. "Well, this MSI will be held in Berlin, Germany, and players still need to adapt to the time difference." kkoma nodded. "It's finally about to start." Abu sighed. "Scared?" Ming Kai couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard the conversation between the two. "No, I'm already looking forward to it." kkoma smiled, pushed up his glasses, Let the world see what this EDG can achieve. KKoma also knew about Xu Yuan's doubts about the Conqueror's skin some time ago. So he takes it very seriously. On May 10th, EDG announced on its official blog that they were going to Berlin, Germany today. The offseason that has been silent is making waves again! And at this time, why is ESPN, which cannot survive without popularity, missing?
Ever since Xu Yuan increased his popularity, ESPN at this time has completely stopped pretending. Now their ranking doesn’t matter anything else, let’s get popular first!
Xu Yuan's ranking was directly pushed to the first place. It directly broke the defense of the Koreans. If you don’t know how to rank, don’t follow other people’s rankings!
It's really filial! But ESPN still goes its own way. The plane landed, and Xu Yuan, carrying his bag, stepped off the plane and couldn't help but sigh.
"So beautiful, Berlin!" (End of this chapter)
