LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right?

Chapter 125 Chen Sheng, standing in the LPL interview booth, finally meets RNG.

"Congratulations to SKT for winning this game. It's also a good start for them in this MSI."

"Congratulations SKT!"

"A hearty... massacre."

Crash.

Waves of applause surged from the Oriental Sports Center.

Miller, who personally shouted these words, felt complicated and heavier than ever before.

Yes, heavy.

Looking at SKT in this game, how will RNG respond next?

Game room.

Everyone in SKT took off their soundproof headphones, shouted "Nice" to each other, stood up, picked up their red and white jackets, and walked out of the game room.

Went to the G2 competition room opposite and shook hands one by one.

When shaking hands with the opponent's top laner Kikis, who claimed to defeat him before the game, Chen Yiqiu could clearly feel the opponent's frustration and autism, and his palms trembled slightly.

"Come on."

Without saying much, they just patted each other on the shoulder. Everyone in SKT walked out of the competition room with expressionless expressions as always, came to the center of the stage, and bowed to the audience.

Returning to the background amid terrifying sounds and applause.

"Nice."

"Nice, Nice, good fight."

"Boys, a good start is a good sign."

Kkoma and the SKT coaching staff first praised the performance of everyone in SKT in their MSI debut.

Then Kkoma showed his serious face: "But remember, we cannot regard our opponent's mistakes as our supposed strength."

Everyone nodded, Pei Junzhi's eyes were in a daze.

Chen Yiqiu understood what Kkoma meant.

In this game, anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that there is a clear strength gap between the SKT and G2 teams.

Staffing, team communication, and even overall game thinking.

In addition, G2 started to work hard from BP, and even sent two big waves in the beginning.

Any other team would not play like this.

Chen Yiqiu, who has experience in another world, knows better that before the start of this MSI, the voice of G2 in the European Division once surpassed that of CLG in North America.

It is known as the third and fourth strongest team in this MSI.

But the final facts proved that in this MSI, G2's strength and condition were extremely stretched, and in the end they only finished second to last.

Like SUP in the wild card division, it is an experience baby at this year's MSI and can be abused by anyone.

What they have to face next are all strong teams...

E.g.

——RNG.

"Tomorrow, we will face off against RNG in the LPL home division."

Kkoma glanced at Chen Yiqiu and said to everyone in a serious tone: "I don't care how well you perform today, you must forget everything about today."

"Tomorrow's victory is only about winning, not losing. It's like playing in the finals. Do you understand?"

Hearing the sound, Chen Yiqiu was startled.

"understand!"

"Coach, don't worry. You don't need to tell me. You will see my performance tomorrow. If I don't beat the crap out of RNG in the bottom lane, I won't be worthy of being Yiqiu's brother... uh..."

Pei Junzhi's voice gradually became quieter mid-sentence, and he glanced at Chen Yiqiu secretly.

Chen Yiqiu glanced at him sideways, but said nothing.

"Don't worry, coach, not just tomorrow, this year's MSI, and the following S games..."

Lee Sang Hyuk paused and said, "We will all do our best and use our strength."

"you…"

Chen Yiqiu thought for a while and prepared to speak.

"Okay, it's nothing to do with you. What does this matter have to do with you? Shouldn't we win the game?"

Pei Junzhi pushed Chen Yiqiu: "Sit down, sit down, MVP is coming out."

"That's right, we must win the game, it has nothing to do with you."

Li Zaiwan muttered, picking up the apples on the table and showing off: "Oh, by the way, remember to invite us to Haidilao next time, I want to eat watermelon."

"...I'll buy you a box."

Chen Yiqiu rolled his eyes.

But I was inexplicably moved in my heart.

Although the management and training within the SKT team have always been very strict...even to the point of being harsh.

It's so harsh that even a training machine like Pei Junzhi can't stand it.

However, in private, Kkoma treats their group of players, especially the members of the S6 class, with the same care as everyone.

And these teammates of his are also the best teammates in the world.

With these in mind, the MVP of this game is given.

In the end, among the candidates Reaper and Bang, the official MVP was given to Reaper.

Although Bang played almost perfectly in this game, Olaf's visual effects and gold content are also not low.

"Yi Qiu, LPL interview seat, come quickly."

Chen Yiqiu's plan to transform SKT was very effective, and the team leader at the door was concise and to the point.

For Chen Yiqiu, this is very meaningful news.

LPL interview booth…

This is the first time for him, as a Chinese, to sit in the LPL interview booth.

After everyone cleared up, other SKT players also received interviews from major competition regions such as LCK, North America, Europe, and Wanwan.

Wearing team uniforms, we walked out of the lounge chatting and laughing together, preparing to go to their respective interview seats.

Bang.

Opposite the end of the corridor, the door to a lounge opened.

Everyone from RNG stretched out and walked out.

"He also said that SKT is really strong."

"G2 is too weak. I finally understand. This year's G2 is just an experience player."

"You can't say that. Chen Yiqiu performed well."

"It's good. Get ready for tomorrow."

"Uh……"

After the words stopped, everyone turned around and met the eyes of everyone from SKT.

Chen Yiqiu met Su Xiaofei's eyes, as well as Xiaohu and others.

He smiled and nodded as a greeting.

However, the faces of Xiaohu and the others were a little unnatural, as if they were discussing someone behind their back and were suddenly embarrassed. At the same time, looking at the SKT people in red across from them, they felt inexplicable pressure.

The overwhelming sense of oppression.

It’s SKT after all…

Chen Yiqiu nodded with a stiff expression, and everyone in RNG turned around and walked out of the backstage without saying a word.

"...Go ahead, the interview is waiting for you."

Li Sanghe pushed Chen Yiqiu and said in Chinese with a colonel's accent: "Chen Yiqiu, come on."

"I am leaving."

Chen Yiqiu waved his hand and walked to the LPL interview booth with the team leader.

……

LPL interview booth.

Yu Shuang, the new host who has just emerged this year, is taking a deep breath at the moment.

Next to her, the executive in charge of the official host was chattering and urging: "Be sure to be friendly and let him feel the enthusiasm of our LPL."

"Be polite, okay?"

"Director, I understand, I've written it all down."

Yu Shuang nervously took out a small notebook.

"Well, that's good. I believe in your business ability. Come on."

The supervisor nodded with satisfaction, looked at the time, and retreated behind the scenes.

But he didn't leave, and was prepared to personally 'supervise' the process of LPL's first interview with Reaper.

He must do his best for the tasks assigned by his superiors.

A moment later, Chen Yiqiu, wearing SKT team uniform, walked up to the interview booth and nodded briefly with Yu Shuang.

"Reaper, you...hello..."

Yu Shuang looked at the young man in front of him with good looks and temperament, and felt inexplicably unattainable, so he quickly said hello.

There was curiosity and exploration in his eyes, and a little bit of confusion.

Hmm... She secretly prefers the RNG team.

"Hello."

Chen Yiqiu said politely.

"Then... let's discuss the questions and see if there's anything you don't want to answer..."

Yu Shuang took out a small notebook and immediately started communicating with Chen Yiqiu.

In the process of this exchange, listening to Chen Yiqiu's familiar Mandarin, the sense of 'unattainable' and distance that Chen Yiqiu brought to her gradually disappeared.

To be honest... things have developed so far, and after half a year of playing, Chen Yiqiu seems to have been tied to the legendary SKT dynasty.

In the hearts of countless LPL viewers, "Chen Sheng" seems to only exist in their daily mouths, but they cannot see his true appearance. There is a sense of distance and complacency that "he is a member of SKT's classic five-man team." I feel that if the ID of Reaper is stamped in front of it, it seems that it should be SKT.

As the host of LPL, Yu Shuang is in this circle and often hears about the grievances between Reaper and LPL.

But it wasn't until she really came into contact with him that she discovered that the other person was indeed Chinese...well, a very strong Chinese.

The way she talks is completely different from most of the LPL players she interviews, and is more logical and charming.

--for example.

"You won MSI in your debut and got a good start in your first game back home. How do you feel?"

"Because I have been training hard for MSI, I now have a sense of reward. I think there can be more similar sense of reward. We will continue to work hard to gain this sense of reward."

"We can see that in the early stages of the game, including in team battles, your Olaf made several wonderful and eye-catching operations. What were your thoughts at the time? By the way, would you be anxious if the situation fell into a disadvantage? "

"In the game League of Legends, you only need to make a few excellent operations to erase all anxiety."

Chen Yiqiu replied.

There was thunderous applause.

Yu Shuang was silent for a moment and asked: "Do you know that you are very popular in... China? There are many fans and viewers who support you. In this regard, what do you want to say to those who support you?"

Chen Yiqiu thought for a while, looked at the dense Chinese audience in the audience, and said softly: "Actually... I have always been eager for the stage, and I have also imagined myself playing games in a crowded stadium, with thousands of spectators in front of me, and tens of thousands of people. Millions of people are watching online.”

"Perhaps I have realized my original fantasy now... I will repay those who support me with the greatest kindness and humility, and I will give back to everyone with more and more exciting games."

——Wow! “No competition, we want you!”

I don’t know which excited audience in the front row shouted this sentence, and it happened to be picked up by the radio equipment.

Yu Shuang's face turned pale and she turned to look at Chen Yiqiu.

Chen Yiqiu smiled and replied with explosive emotional intelligence: "I don't dare to go back with you, I'm afraid your boyfriend will beat me."

"Hahaha…"

The audience roared with laughter.

Yu Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chen Yiqiu in surprise, and said with a smile: "The last question, in the next game, you will face... the home team of LPL, RNG."

"RNG is the champion of this year's LPL Spring Split and is very strong. Do you have anything to say to them?"

"I hope we can have a wonderful game together."

Chen Yiqiu did not shy away from it and said calmly: "Because I personally know RNG well before, so I am looking forward to this matchup."

"Ah..." Yu Shuang was stunned: "Is it gone?"

"Well... In competitive sports, the winner takes all. I will defeat all opponents who stand in front of us."

boom!
  The audience was in an uproar, followed by thunderous applause.

Humble, courteous, and well-spoken.

Chen Yiqiu's interviews are always like this. After a few questions, many LPL viewers who came into contact with him for the first time felt his unique charm.

嗏

[I choose to support RNG. 】

[That’s it, today’s status as an SKT fan ends here. From now on, I will be a glorious emperor! 】

[RNG kill me hard! Fuck SKT! 】

[Heroes and whites, you can all be upset now. SKT can support it when it meets other teams, but RNG is playing at home. Anyone who does not support RNG is not patriotic. 】

[Chen Shengzhen is full of charm on the court, but... I'm sorry, if you don't return to LPL for a day, you won't be recognized by us. 】

【us? You represent yourself. Except for the game between SKT and RNG, I am willing to be Chen Za! 】

[A bit disappointed, it would be great if Chen Sheng said just now that he was willing to come back...]

The barrage surged and the popularity exploded.

Based on Chen Yiqiu's current public opinion environment in the LPL and his performance in today's game, he has undoubtedly proven himself personally and accumulated popularity.

But at the same time, when facing the only representative team of this MSILPL, the giant RNG that reached the top spot in this spring split, [-]% of the LPL viewers chose to support RNG.

This is understandable, after all, the home crowd supports the home team.

Chen Yiqiu didn't care about this. After the interview after the game, he declined Yu Shuang's invitation to do a special text interview.

Chen Yiqiu returned to the backstage, waited for his teammates to come back, and went back to the hotel together.

The reason why he rejected Yu Shuang was not that Chen Yiqiu was biased against the LPL competition area, but that the appointment time was unlucky and the process was a bit long, so it overlapped with his training time.

If I really accept it, I won’t have time to train today.

Ten minutes later, other members of SKT came back one after another. Everyone packed up their things, boarded the bus, and returned to the hotel.

……

at the same time.

back office.

"Didn't he accept it?"

The supervisor who had previously retreated behind the scenes and observed secretly asked Yu Shuang.

"No, he said it conflicts with training time."

"Conflicts with training time..."

The supervisor touched his chin, a little regretfully: "I just want him to conflict."

"what?"

Yu Shuang was startled.

"Okay, okay. It's been a hard day today and the interview was good. You can go back first."

The supervisor waved his hand.

"Director...I feel like Reaper doesn't really care that much..."

Yu Shuang endured it, but still expressed her feelings after meeting Chen Yiqiu: "He... is really a very pure player."

"what?"

The supervisor was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "I know, okay, go ahead and do your work."

"okay."

Yu Shuang exited the room.

The decisions of the LPL's official top management are obviously not something she can get involved in or speculate on.

"RNG has to win..."

"Winning SKT is such a morale-boosting thing..."

In the office, the supervisor scratched his head: "Don't like traffic? Don't like money?"

"The resources are not bad, a text interview, a video later, and a promise to be posted on the home page of the National Server Alliance client for half a month... This kind of treatment can only be compared to when EDG won the championship and skin activities."

Puzzled, the supervisor picked up the phone and prepared to report the matter to higher-ups.

……

Inside the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, everyone in SKT didn't even have time to rest, and immediately threw themselves into the training session.

The coaching staff is equally energetic and begins to analyze tomorrow's opponent RNG, and formulate a series of BP plans and alternative heroes.

Until dinner time, Chen Yiqiu, Li Sanghyuk and several friends went downstairs to eat together.

During this period, Chen Yiqiu caught a glimpse of Pei Junzhi holding the rice but not eating it, and kept having fun with his mobile phone.

"Hey, hey!"

He called out to the other party: "The piece of shit is about to fall into my bowl. Why are you laughing there?"

"what?"

Pei Junzhi was startled and quickly covered his phone like a reflex: "Secret!"

"Okay, I get it now."

Chen Yiqiu already knows Pei Junzhi's character very well. This guy is definitely a sultry man hidden in the SKT team, and he is also a huge traitor.

"We all agreed to be Chu Nan and be single together, but you ended up playing this trick with us, right?"

"Huh? No, I'm not in love, don't you dare say nonsense, I'll be in trouble if Kkoma hears it!"

Pei Junzhi turned pale with fright.

Sitting next to Chen Yiqiu, Li Sang Hyuk, who had been lowering his head to eat and seemingly not caring about anything, suddenly raised his head and said in a voice eight times louder than usual: "What did you say?! Are you in love?!"

"Really?! Pei Junzhi is in love?! Oh my god... is it true? Who is he with?"

Chen Yiqiu immediately replied with a higher voice.

"...Xianghe, Yiqiu, if you play like this, it will hurt your brother's heart."

Pei Junzhi's face was ashen.

"Ah, it turns out it's hosted by Park Ji-sun. I know, I know, it's the translator of the LCK English stream..."

"Haha, I know it too, she's the girl with good looks and a gentle personality..."

"Brother, there are few people here. I will kneel down for you. Please stop shouting..."

Pei Junzhi looked sad, his face flushed and his neck thick with anxiety: "If you shout again, my brother will die tomorrow!"

"Huh, let's talk. If we don't talk, we won't talk. What's not to say about chatting with a young lady? Why are you just pretending to be with us?"

Chen Yiqiu nodded with satisfaction: "Junzhi, you brat, brother, don't I know your strengths and weaknesses?"

"?Who are you calling a brat?"

"Ah? Did I shout wrong?"

"No, brother, I am the younger brother and you are the older brother."

Pei Junzhi was convinced.

"Okay, stop playing. Didn't you say you want to win the game tomorrow? If this continues, will your energy keep up?"

Compared to the fights between Chen Yiqiu and Bae Junzhi, Lee Sang Hyuk is truly expressionless.

Damn it, damn it.

"Xianghe, you have wrongly blamed me!"

Unexpectedly, when Pei Junzhi heard this, he felt as if he had been stepped on. He immediately took out his mobile phone and handed it to the two of them as if to prove it: "I said I would help...win the game, so I will definitely win!"

"Did you see what I said? I'm asking for leave from Zhixuan, saying don't disturb me this MSI!"

Chen Yiqiu and Li Sang Hyuk were startled, and then glanced over uncontrollably.

At this sight, the two of them were shocked.

I saw the conversation between Bae Joon Sik and Park Ji Sun as follows——

Pei Junzhi: "Don't disturb me these days. There is a very important game tomorrow, and we have a reason to win this year's MSI, huh."

Park Ji-suan: "A very important game? How important is it? You won't lie to me."

Pei Junzhi: "How could I lie to you? It's very important! The game I have to win...is more important than the final!"

Park Ji-sun: "Okay... let's talk about it another time."

Pei Junzhi: "You are so good...#￥@#%￥"

I didn't see the rest of the content, but Pei Junzhi snatched it back.

But Lee Sang Hyuk and Chen Yi Qiu have turned to stone.

The former is because I didn't expect that Pei Junzhi, a slut, would hook up with her after just two days together.

The original agreement was made that Chu Nan's sacred heart was shattered, his faith collapsed, and the devil became furious.

Chen Yiqiu was simply because of the death conversation between Bae Junzhi and Park Ji-sun.

"You...it's not you. Who taught you to talk to girls like this?"

Chen Yiqiu was anxious: "Didn't I say that a few words are not good things? Don't say them casually!"

"Ah?" Pei Junzhi was startled and said quickly: "No, it's Li Zaiwan. Li Zaiwan told me last time that he specifically asked his friends in China and said that it was a compliment... Assi! I understand, Li Zaiwan is a dog Cub!"

"He lied to me!"

"...Awesome."

Chen Yiqiu was speechless and could only give a thumbs up.

What a pair of bad friends.

He could already imagine how much more fat Li Zaiwan would have on his three hundred kilograms of fat tomorrow.

In this way, amidst Bae Junzhi's wolf-like scream, SKT had no sleep that night.

The next day.

The second day of the MSI group stage.

Early in the morning, SKT arrived at the Oriental Sports Center.

Enter the backstage venue to check in and start preparing for today’s ‘first decisive battle’ with RNG.
