LOL: Brother Koi, stop showing off!

Chapter 218 The Ancient King
5 month 10 day.

The day before the start of the MSI group stage, the six teams in Berlin gathered in the European LCS studio to prepare for the opening ceremony.

Li Jin naturally saw KZ's old teammates. He didn't get together to chat, and only said hello from afar.

Smeb and Xuan Ming were in high spirits, and Little Peanut had more smiles on his face than last season.

"Pinat looks very motivated."

The stupid chicken wandering around the LCS studio seems to have found the topic that interests him the most.

He looked at Pinat as if he had seen something, which made Li Jin laugh.

"Xingxiong, it's a bit offensive for you to stare at Wanghu like this."

"Although you have educated Wanghu many times, the way you look like you are drooling is so embarrassing."

The stupid chicken chuckled and waved his afro freely.

"How can the good words turn into bad words when they come out of your mouth?"

He bent his arms like a bodybuilder, and Flandre squeezed his muscles in response. The stupid chicken put on a "Muay Thai warning" look and said in less than authentic Chinese:

"Pinat, memories come flooding back to me."

"He was also very motivated in 2016. I seemed to get a response from Shenlong. He is at least two and a half years younger. I can't wait to have a duel with Pinat."

"Chicken is awesome!"

"Chicken Brother 666!"

Da Chongming and Flando were admiring each other, and Shao Shao teased: "Brother Ji's eyes are wrong, so don't look at him."

"Yeah, if you look at it one more time, it will explode."

They were laughing and enjoying themselves in front of the stage they would soon step onto, their eyes full of longing.

The other teams are similar.

They formed small groups and communicated in different languages. Li Jin and Benji were not surprised, but Flandre and others found it strange and novel.

Every day, I walk in an unknown area, and the world stage I imagined in the past slowly unfolds like a scroll.

They are enriched and no longer a secret.

It looked like a 'new wound' had been opened by Sha Shao. He always said to Lin Weixiang, "This is MSI's scene." He was very smart and took the trouble to touch the floor in a confusing manner several times.

During the new season, the two often used "never touched the floor of the World Championship" to motivate themselves.

From time to time, he looked at Li Jin with his eyes, especially his pair of thick eyebrows, which were filled with emotion, and then whispered in detail.

Most of them said things related to Li Jin.

Of course it's a good thing.

What do you mean by real thighs? I have only held them for a few months, and in the blink of an eye I am playing games in Europe. How dreamy it is.

This year, we also have the opportunity to compete for the "Most Improved Player of the Year" and "Best of the Year" awards. These are their beautiful visions. I feel that everything I can look forward to in my career can be expected this year.

so.
At this time, stepping on the floor tiles of the Berlin stadium, every step is brisk.

Li Jin had a panoramic view of their performance, and he was reassured by everyone's mood. It was better to be high-spirited than trembling.

"Tomorrow we will play the opening game, brothers, come on!"

"Mmmm, come on!"

"Msi, our jungle emperor is back!"

It's rare for a sick chicken to be active. He hasn't appeared in the World Championship for a long time.

It was obvious that the stupid chicken had itchy feet, so Li Jin immediately called: "Protect our drinking fountains."

……

Not much time was wasted at the scene, and each team returned to the hotel with plenty of time to play training matches.

I took a break earlier than usual today.

The opening game in Berlin starts at 10 o'clock local time, which is almost [-] o'clock in the evening in China.

This is good news. The majority of LPL fans no longer have to stay up late to catch up on games.

It's really a pleasure to watch the chefs perform during dinner.

Domestic fans are extremely enthusiastic, and all major online forums have shown a "can't wait" mood. Predictions about group stage results, predictions about the opening game, predictions about the outcome of the focus battle, etc. This is a huge wave of traffic.

Even if it is a stereotyped discussion, there are still a large number of fans paying attention.

Everyone left messages, shared their feelings, cheered for Snake, and called their favorite players. New comments were refreshed in major forums almost every second.The audience left their own footprints and seemed to participate in Msi.

All major koi bars and koi groups are quite active.

A lot of people forwarded the koi carp, which has become popular nowadays.

A very funny thing happened recently, that is the wave of "back stabbing incident of the leader of the Sword Sect group".

The Yujianmen sword shattered the Rubik's Cube. After witnessing the sword shattering again, before the swordsmiths could announce the recasting of the broken sword, a group of RNG fan group leaders suddenly stabbed them in the back.

Changed the Yujianmen element in the group name to Koi.

Still waiting for you to point it out?
Before you know it, we're already champion fans.

This group of fans had an epiphany. If they keep pointing this way, even if it is "Family Sacrifice, Don't Forget to Tell Naiweng", there will be no five championships.

Isn't that "early fans and early enjoyment of koi"?
Phew, the idea is clear.

On the evening of May 5th, Luhuan reprinted an interview with the host FNC at the European home court.

After watching the interview video with a translator, the old LPL fans slapped the table and laughed wildly like Tom.

Q: "Are you confident about facing Snake in the opening match?"

The person being interviewed was a middle-aged man with short but energetic hair, a short chin beard, and a rather European uncle vibe.

This person is FNC team coach Youngbuck.

Youngbuck: "Of course."

"FNC never lacks confidence."

Q: "Snake eliminated RNG 3:0 in the spring finals. They won the spring split completely. What do you think of this?"

Youngbuck (laughing): "If we replace RNG, it is impossible to lose three games in a row. We must at least reach Game 5. RNG cannot express the sharpness of this FNC. From the beginning of MSI, we want to announce the return of the king."

The person holding the microphone was a blond girl. She was inspired by Youngbuck and showed joy.

Then, another question was asked.

"People say Snake is the favorite to win the championship. What do you think? Will there be a lot of pressure?"

At this time, a scene appeared that made the audience unable to hold their nerves.

Youngbuck in the camera suddenly took out his mobile phone and clicked on a video.

Inside is a passage from FNC team CEO Sam. He is saying in a rather proud tone:

"Everyone said that when we face Snake, there will be huge pressure against the favorites. Why do you think so?"

"Before Snake won the championship, we were already the championship."

Sam successfully predicted what the e-sports reporter wanted to interview.

FNC, the ancient king of Europe, S1 champion!

Since the spring finals swept Europe's upstart G2, the ancient king has swelled, and they shouted the slogan of "taking everything back".

At this time, "Berlin Gamer's House" had an article "The Restoration of the King", which was dedicated to FNC's journey.

The emotions of passers-by were aroused.

This interview was applauded by a large number of LCS viewers in Berlin.

For the opening game, European and even North American players next door have great expectations for FNC!
Snake team?

It is very strong, and it is also known as the No. 1 team in the league.

But defeating such Snake, FNC's road to restoration is simply a matter of godhood.

European commentator Kenny even said in a game review program, "S1 is in the early days. FNC's restoration requires the blood of God. Bathed in the blood of God, the European Throne will enter a magnificent epic chapter."

After these factors were learned by LPL players, there was an uproar in the country.

Bathing in divine blood? !
LCS?

That day, all the commentators in the official LPL live broadcast room laughed out loud and shouted "Great job".

……

……

On the morning of May 5th, Day 11 of the group stage.

"Get up and get up!"

"Brothers, work!"

Flando jumped up early in the morning, and Li Jin next door was woken up.

After the stupid chicken woke up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and called out "this young man" twice.

After everyone washed up, they went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

Fried potato pancakes, fried potato chips, baked potato dumplings, the authentic way to eat potatoes in Berlin, and a German bacon dish that is very common on local tables. "eat more."

Zuo Wu urged from the side, "The fight will start at ten o'clock, one end and the other. We will have two games today."

“There’s no time to eat in between, so I’ll just make do with some snacks.”

"This is considered the main meal."

Chris brought some more bread, ham, and butter.

Da Chongming gnawed on the bread and suddenly missed his motherland: "Manager, I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Be good, eat when you get home."

Zuo Wu rubbed Daxiang's hair with great experience. This was how he usually coaxed cats.

As time went by, people hurriedly entered the hotel. Pinat and the others were in the hotel next door, and the eating places were not in the same place. The Flash Wolves and the Vietnamese team were not far away from Li Jin.

You can hear the Vietnamese chattering over there, but the Flash Wolf is relatively silent.

Before 08:30, the Snake players arrived at the dressing room before the game.

The makeup artist at Msi is a native of Berlin, and the way he looks after everyone's appearance is more casual than at LPL. Maybe it's because there are so many people today.

However, the Snakes pay great attention to this aspect and will not appear wearing an adaptable helmet.

At early nine o'clock, Snake and his team returned backstage.

Everyone occasionally looks towards the scene.

The European LCS studio is not very big. Today, there are only a thousand people in the extra seats, which is incomparable to the scale in China.

The scale of last year's Bird's Nest is destined to be a monument in the history of the league.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

I can't handle the big scene, but the atmosphere in the small venue is very good.

There is a small beauty.

Whether it's lighting, element assembly, stage curtains, or cultural lining, everything is done right.

There were a lot of cosplayers at the scene, and some people were wearing big insect masks, which was really abstract.

As it approached ten o'clock, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

In the Berlin studio, several home commentators were already chatting heatedly, and there was still a bit of a smell of gunpowder.

The commentator sitting in the middle is the tall European commentator Koster with an afro.

Although he is the top player in Europe, Coster also encountered two strong opponents today.

The bald guest on the left is clearly Kenny Smith, the man who made the announcement before the game, the famous loudmouth who claimed that "FNC will bathe in the blood of the gods and restore itself."

The boy with a crew cut on the right is Charlie. This person is a staunch member of Eu's party. He previously worked in the FNC uniform team and was the team's assistant coach in 2017.

The two people on the left and the right are not good at each other. Although Coster's voice is loud, the reason for the blow is sufficient, and it even forms a closed loop.But these two have the home buff bonus and can fight back casually.

European commentators are very brave to start a team. They don't care who you are. If you don't play well, they will put pressure on you and even laugh at you. They take pleasure in it.

There is a lot of fun in the LCS.

Coster brought up the Godfather’s three consecutive championships, and Charlie believed that the first championship in FNC’s history originated from an earlier culture.

Coster lifted the double Fmvp championship, and Smith pointed out that FNC was already the champion before Koi won the championship.

Coster talked about the lineup configuration of the Snakes team after having Koi. Charlie and Smith shook their heads repeatedly because FNC is an all-star lineup and the Snakes only have one Koi. They also mentioned that the Cap King likes to eat "braised carp" recently.

……

Coster, who has been blessed by the Koi Buff, is fighting one against two, like a lion running on the African continent. Charlie and Smith are singing in harmony, transforming into the eternal hunting twins, and verbally fighting Coster. The European home court under their feet is their sheep spirit. field.

This scene made Miss Sjokz, the leading actress of the LCS, laugh out loud while watching the show on a high stool.

The audience also laughed and the atmosphere was really lively.

"TheJin led Snake to sweep RNG in the finals. That is a strong LPL team."

"FNC All-Stars also swept G2 in the finals. I think G2 is stronger than RNG."

Charlie emphasized again: "I have worked at FNC and am very familiar with them."

"Listen to me, Coster, you underestimate FNC too much. I have been watching their games this spring and they are very strong!"

"The state of FNC makes me believe that the King of Europe is officially back!"

Kenny Smith roared from the side, keeping up with Charlie's rhythm.

The European home stadium is full of their voices.

Coster shook his head with a firm expression:

"No, competition-region communication and world-wide communication are two different modes."

"TheJin has the experience of winning five S-level championships, and has won consecutive MSI championships in 2016 and 2017. FNC lacks this experience. Moreover, he has the magic spell of 'win wherever he goes'. I think FNC will win in the opening game. In big trouble."

Kenny and Charlie also shook their heads.

"Caps has no fear, he is the discovery and successor of Europe."

"Yes, Caps is very good at operations this year. In the spring split, he has 9 heroes with a 100% win rate. Caps has entered the world's top mid laner level."

"It's up to Caps to break TheJin's curse."

"..."

There were Snake fans at the scene, and even more FNC fans.

The discussion between the three commentators pushed the atmosphere to a climax. It was almost ten o'clock, and there was a burst of noise. The official live broadcast rooms of each competition area began to show the pictures to the main stage.

The pre-match declarations recorded by the players in advance were played on the big screen.

……

At 5pm BJ time, the LPL audience finished watching "Achieving Legend".

Host star Caps said to the camera:
"FNC will carry out the theme of taking back everything, and we are ready to break down all obstacles."

Then, the camera shifted to Doublelift, the senior brother looked arrogant:

"Since the teams coming to Berlin are all very strong, even though our TL team is stronger, we won't show mercy to our opponents this time."

Flash Wolf’s mother’s baby:

"The newly armed Flash Wolf will surprise everyone! Creating legends, this is the purpose of our participation in MSI!"

When the Vietnamese player spoke, KZ's Xuan Ming and his two brothers appeared on the screen.

Pray (smiling): "There is no room for breakthrough in LCK. Let's look for new breakthroughs on Msi."

Gorilla: "I want to play until the finals, and there are opponents I really want to beat."

Li Jin was the last one to appear.

Because he was full of honor and blessing, a more exciting BGM sounded at this point of the declaration. Knowing that he had a large audience in Europe, the applause was even more enthusiastic.

"This is my first time coming to MSI as a mid laner. This is a special and novel experience. The schedule from Berlin to Paris is very interesting and I will enjoy it."

……

Li Jin's voice was not too aggressive, and his expression was relatively calm.

but,

Because he is so confident, even his calm way of speaking has made many viewers around the world think wildly.I even felt a different kind of charm.

The local Korean audience in the LCK were obviously a little scared when they stared at this face.

Many Korean viewers at the Inven forum were shouting KZ in an attempt to sanction Li Jin.

……

"It's so messy, but God doesn't have any fluctuations at all"

"Based on past experience, this is often the tranquility before killing."

"Come on FNC, give Brother Li a little excitement!"

"Hao Huang, the braised carp you ordered is here, hahaha!"

While the barrage and comment area of ​​LPL were in full swing, the host Sjokz had already come to the stage from the studio.

White dry ice mist rose into the sky, and the golden trophy shone in the light.

"We invite the Snake team from the LPL division!"

Li Jin, Flandre and others appeared one after another, and the audience who had been waiting for a long time immediately applauded and cheered.

then
“Welcome Fnatic from the LCS EU region!!”

Snake's opponents for the opening match came on stage one after another.

One by one, the European All-Star players walked across to Snake.

Bibabu, Pochet, Mao Huang, Ou Cheng, and those in the auxiliary position. Hi, giveaway!
