Chapter 88: A huge uproar, 1 followers! Becoming a "legend" is only one step away!
Chapter 88: A huge uproar, millions of followers! Becoming a "legend" is just one step away!
Seeing that Bin was so angry that he lost consciousness, everyone had complicated expressions on their faces.
Although they had the same feeling, they didn't like that a contestant who was not even qualified to be compared with them in the past could now pretend to be so glorious in public.
But compared to Bin's madness, everyone was just unhappy at most, but not to the point where they wanted the other person to die.
"He won 16 BO3s in the regular season, all 2:0, and two BO5s in the playoffs, all 3:0. He was the key man in every game. He has not lost a single game from the beginning of the league to now. He has already set a record!" Xiao Ming was amazed, thinking that his own top laner had been blinded by hatred.
When Bin heard his teammates praising his mortal enemy's achievements, he suddenly began to breathe heavily, widened his eyes and shouted:
"You mean, I'm not as good as him? I won the Spring Split champion, the MSI champion, two consecutive championships! My Scissor Girl can't even beat Zeus, and even legendary teams like T1 don't dare to release her unique weapon. How can he, a loser who can only play tanks, compare with me!"
"You are too arrogant. He is the only professional player in the history of the league who has won consecutive games in the summer season and made it to the finals. What are you?" Gala felt that there was something wrong with his top laner's thinking, and secretly made up his mind to scold his top laner: "A truly strong person always has the heart of an apprentice. Until now, you think Tzun is a 'slacker'. You keep silent about his performance this season."
"Chen Zebin, you should wake up. If you really want to defeat him, you should face your opponent first!"
"Are you really not clear in your mind whether Tzun is a scoundrel or not?"
Since GALA led the team to win two consecutive championships in the spring season and MSI, not only have netizens been making a meme of "Believe in Gala" all day long, but even in terms of the right to speak in the team, he is second only to Xiaohu.
This Big C stood up and rebuked, and no one refuted, and Bin's face turned red immediately.
Seeing this, TaBe knew that this was a good opportunity to wake up his top laner. He had already regretted missing out on the talent, so he quickly stepped forward and said:
"A player who can play a mixed hero as a carry top laner right after debuting, with this basic skill, I believe you understand that if you give him time, you can definitely become an offensive top laner!"
"At present, Tzun's only shortcoming is that he can't play a carry-type top laner. No one in the LPL can stop Tzun's rise. In the future, he will definitely be a league super top laner who can stand on equal footing with you!"
Chicken Soup coach Zhu Kai couldn't sit still at this time, and quickly echoed: "Gala and TaBe are right, you should face Tzun, it's not shameful."
"The finals is your best chance for revenge. If you miss this year, when he is already a dominant force next year, you may really have to live under his shadow forever. And it is too early to say this now. We are the 'challengers'. If we want to reach the finals, we must first defeat EDG who are relegated to the loser group, which is also not easy."
Xiaohu, WEI, also understood the interests involved at this time.
"If we can't even make it to the finals, we will be laughed at by netizens. The most urgent task is to defeat EDG!"
"Yeah, brother Bin, we have to adjust our mentality. You are always affected by Tzun's mentality, which just shows that you are anxious. As the saying goes, he can win a season without losing, but we only need to win the most crucial BO5 to ruin Tzun's reputation. Generally speaking, we have the advantage!"
Bin was embarrassed and blushed: "Am I anxious? Do you think I am anxious?"
Everyone: "..."
Seeing that no one spoke, Bin felt awkward.
"Just wait, I will take back everything that belongs to me with my own hands!" He was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so after saying these harsh words, he walked out without looking back.
………………
at the same time.
The entire LPL team was discussing the dirty talk that Lu Yiming made during the post-match interview.
Even the EDG players who had just lost the game and were about to leave on the bus after packing up their things, were all angry and anxious after watching the live broadcast on the bus.
Let this pretentious kid step on their corpses and speak nonsense in the post-match interview booth, and even burst out golden sentences in public...
This defending champion team has completely become a stepping stone for the other team to increase its value.
"Knowing shame leads to courage. The loser group is our last chance. After we go back today, we should adjust our mentality and prepare to face RNG. If we can't beat RNG, we will have to compete for the third seed in the bubble match!"
Mingkai looked at the team members who were either ashamed or angry and sulked, and spoke earnestly.
The tragic 3:0 defeat made it difficult for everyone to cheer up after the game. Everyone responded like puppets, distracted.
"This kid is really something. He thinks a pentakill in the game means nothing, but when he gets to the post-match interview booth, it's as if his nature is aroused. He is arrogant and presumptuous." Also on the bus to the hotel, TES manager Guo Hao said with a smile while watching the live broadcast on the tablet.
White Crescent said:
"Actually, there are benefits. This guy is so good at making things happen. The attention to the finals will definitely be very high. After all, originally, the fans of the two teams accounted for the majority of the spectators. But with him leading the pace, the situation is completely different. The haters want to see Tzun get liquidated, and the netizens who just watch the show and some gamers who never watch the game also want to witness the birth of a miracle!"
"With so much added up, I have a feeling that the attention this year's finals will definitely break the historical record!"
Seeing that there were already many angry voices condemning in the barrage, Zhan Ma quickly suggested:
"Let's work overtime to make the hero Mike crazy. Everyone says this kid is crazy, but now no one in the outside world knows how humble he is to his teammates!"
"This matter will definitely explode!"
………………
That night.
Weibo was abuzz with activity. The good news about TES, as well as Lu Yiming's amazing performance and his golden quotes after the game, quickly topped the Weibo hot search list, attracting a lot of attention.
#Congratulations to TES, 3:0 world champion EDG! #
#The new LPL team TES is forging a new dynasty with its invincible momentum! #
#TES, the strongest dark horse in this summer season, has maintained a terrifying record of winning all games so far. It is the only team in history that has not lost a single game in the past three months! #
#Tzun, who debuted at the age of 17, is more outstanding than the last talented teenager in LPL, JackeyLove.#
#The second Faker in history, the first Tzun in LPL! #
#At the beginning of the season, he was despised and questioned by the entire network. His self-proclaimed ID Tzun was like a joke. No one thought he could live up to the meaning behind the name. But at the end of the season, he used his nearly invincible performance to become the well-deserved "Tianzun" in the hearts of fans! #
#The best comedy of the year, "Seven Wins, Seven Losses"! #
#Tzun is only one step away from dominating Chinese eSports! #
#…………#
That night, Lu Yiming's personal Weibo followers gained nearly one million, and he truly became famous overnight.
His golden quotes after the game became popular on major social platforms that evening. Even countless short video bloggers rushed to reproduce the memes and cut his quotes with a catchy BGM into the operation highlights of major online games.
On the contrary, EDG, as the loser, was severely ridiculed and despised by netizens.
In particular, Saint Spear Brother, who performed seriously abnormally, became the main target of fire. The higher his ratings were before the game, the worse his performance was after the game.
The thread "Seven Wins and Seven Losses" about the match between Holy Spear and Tzun has become a popular place for netizens. The original poster was forced to delete the post and run away overnight due to the embarrassment. However, just like the post "RNG won the championship, half of the credit goes to IG" in S8, its screenshots have long been circulated and ridiculed by netizens on major forums.
The "Seven Wins and Seven Losses" that Lu Yiming temporarily modified during his pre-match trash talk was also praised by netizens as an "authentic thesis."
These two essay posts have become the source of laughter for a large number of netizens.
Lu Yiming has also received much praise and respect for this.
Similarly, TES, a team that was once known as a "pirated all-Chinese team", has now become the most watched and anticipated team in the LPL!
As time goes by, Lu Yiming has been labeled as "champion" by many fans.
Many TES fans are looking forward to Lu Yiming leading the team to have the same performance in the World Championship as in the league, so that the whole world can witness that their LPL can also produce a super top laner.
After all, there is still some time before the opening of the finals, and the opponents that will rush up from the lower half are still uncertain. Today, TES is the only team in the league that has secured a place in the World Championship in advance, and it is difficult for netizens to avoid topics related to the World Championship.
Even most netizens don’t care much about their own league anymore, and only pay attention to it when the most competitive world championship comes every year. Now, when they hear that a team in their own region has so bravely secured a place in advance, their attention is attracted.
The topic is very popular online and there is constant discussion.
For TES, because they defeated EDG early, they have two more days to prepare.
Now the team has finally reached this point after going through numerous difficulties, and the club attaches great importance to the upcoming finals.
Although the second seed spot is locked in advance, the influence of the summer season champion is completely different from that of the second seed. On the one hand, the price of advertising endorsements is different, which is related to the club's revenue. On the other hand, the prize money for the champion is not small.
The most important thing is that TES currently has the reputation of "unbeatable in all games". Although everyone thinks that the final will not be 3:0 and this record will definitely be broken, if it can really be achieved, it will be unique in history. Even the three-time crown dynasty SKT has to acknowledge TES's historical status.
At the beginning of the season, no one on the Top Esports coaching staff believed that the team could get to this point, even with such an incredible record.
Now that the opportunity to become a "legend" is right in front of them, everyone feels that this should be the only chance of ascending to the altar of god in their lifetime, and they all show great enthusiasm.
Lü Yiming also began to carefully expand his hero pool, and the length of his daily training matches increased from the usual 4 hours to 5 hours. He felt that he had worked very hard and made progress. After all, the extra hour did not bring any benefits, and was purely for the sake of cooperating with the team. However, the coaching staff loved and hated him, thinking that Lü Yiming was "wasting his talent."
During this period.
The official TES blog revealed the "Hero Mike Madness", allowing a large number of netizens to see another side of Lu Yiming.
[No, this guy always said his teammates played better when he showed off his skills in front of his teammates. Even when he got a pentakill, he modestly said "it was no big deal". He is always low-key and humble. Why did he become so arrogant during the post-match interview?]
[He is submissive in front of his teammates, but arrogant in front of his family. These are two classic faces! ]
[It has to be said that watching Topsports’ hero microphones is really passionate. These guys really treat each other as brothers. ]
[I love the atmosphere in this team. ]
[The top laner is both a father and a mother, and he has to stand up and act as the big brother at critical moments. Tell me, he does everything he should and shouldn't do perfectly, so why should he lose? ]
【Xiaotian has found a confidant. In front of Tzun, he is always in a cheerful state. He seems to be more cheerful than FPX back then. He has really become a concept god.】
【You can feel the love of the top laner. In the past, teammates called him Little Turtle, but now they call him God. In the past, all three lanes were shouting for the jungler to come and gank, but now the top laner who needs help the most can always hold on by myself. In the past, when the jungler died, teammates would ask "What is Xiaotian doing?" Now when the jungler dies, the top laner will ask "I'll be the C." How can he not be cheerful?】
[The key is that this guy has a really high EQ. Why didn't I realize that he has such a good character before? ]
【Start with operation, be loyal to character! 】
[Tzun's character and the attitude of his TES teammates have already explained everything. Speaking of this, we have to mention a player who bullied substitutes and called himself the No. 1 top laner in LPL. ]
[Bin÷ almost ruined LPL's hopes! ! ]
【…】
In just one night, Lu Yiming's Weibo score soared by hundreds of thousands again. Just three days after defeating EDG, his Weibo followers had exceeded the astonishing 400 million mark, making him the most followed professional player in LPL today.
The only one who can be compared with him is Uzi, who has a special position in LPL.
Even Lu Yiming himself did not expect that netizens would be so enthusiastic. Judging from the trend of the conversation, many haters actually became his fans after "Hero Mike Crazy" was exposed.
The heat lasted for a few days. After the loser group match between EDG and RNG kicked off, netizens' attention returned to the game.
On this day, Lu Yiming and his teammates also watched the BO5 between the two teams.
When RNG was in the winner's group, it was defeated by EDG 3:2. Now that they are in the loser's group, more people are still optimistic about EDG. But in fact, although there is an irreconcilable gap between Lu Yiming and RNG, he knows in his heart that the final winner is likely to be RNG.
"Mingshen, who do you think is promising?" Xiaotian talked to Lu Yiming with a smile.
Recently, netizens have hyped him and Lu Yiming as "Brothers in the Wild". Many people are saying that Tzun has activated his concept god form. This meme has also created a lot of traffic for him. If it were just that, he wouldn't be so happy. The most important thing is that the monkey who threatened to smash his skull with the keyboard has been attacked by netizens these days because he was compared with Lu Yiming!
Just like Lu Yiming has conflicts with Bin, he and Doinb also have an irreconcilable gap. He is undoubtedly the happiest one to see his enemy in trouble.
"RNG." Lu Yiming said truthfully.
Ah Shui was curious: "Do you really want to meet RNG in the finals?"
Mark and Knight also came over and started to make fun of him:
"I understand. Give the opponent hope, then make him despair. On the stage of the finals, defeat the self-proclaimed No. 1 player in the country with your own hands, and then hold up the championship trophy in front of him. Wouldn't Bin be furious?"
"Revenge like this is so satisfying!"
Lu Yiming was left in tears and laughter by his teammates, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be much more satisfying than when he single-handedly killed Bin in the regular season.
"It's not that I want revenge. I don't really care about them anymore."
"The main reason is that after playing with me, Saint Spear was exposed. RNG's top and jungle should learn from experience and use him as a breakthrough point. The reason why EDG was able to beat RNG 3:2 in the winner's group was actually because of the efforts of Da Han's double C. However, after playing with us, EDG's things were basically exposed. I believe that with RNG's comprehensive configuration, they should be able to win with a little targeting."
After hearing what Lu Yiming said, his teammates were skeptical.
The final result was beyond everyone's expectations.
RNG actually defeated the defending champion EDG cleanly with a score of 3:0!
Especially Bin in the top lane, who suppressed his opponent in all three games. Although Knightley could hold his own in front of him, he could not threaten Bin's development at all. RNG chose an invincible Fiora and Weapon for this kid in the late game. Once it reached 30 minutes, EDG could not handle the 41-point lane.
"RNG is in much better shape than we expected." White Crescent's heart tightened. "Looking at it this way, it seems that our chances in the finals aren't that stable anymore."
"Do you still look like a head coach? You're frightened already?" Lu Yiming looked at the guilty White Crescent with disdain. "It's just what I want them to advance to the finals. A BO5 with an all-Chinese team will attract a lot of attention. I want all the idiots to see with their own eyes how Bin gets beaten to tears."
After hearing what Lu Yiming said, the teammates who were originally a little guilty now cheered up.
Big Dad is so confident, they can’t be weak!
What Lu Yiming didn't expect was that the moment he said this, a line of small words that only he could see clearly suddenly appeared in front of him.
[After overcoming all the difficulties along the way, you finally returned to the stage of the finals with a group of young guys on your 31st birthday! ]
[Although the outside world is saying that LDL has no gold content, an old Deng can still fight for the pure e-sports dream at his age. Your efforts and persistence have touched countless netizens. ]
[Overnight, you gained hundreds of thousands of fans! ]
[Today, your opponent is RNG. Perhaps it is fate that ruined you at the hands of RNG when you were young. Now RNG is at the bottom of the league. LPL listened to the advice of netizens and made a decision that went against their ancestors. Finally, the promotion and relegation system was launched.]
[And RNG's opponent in the relegation battle is the second team that they have spent a huge amount of money to build in their own company to "retain their position" in disguise, and it will be between you. 】
[You know, today, as long as you defeat the members of RNG's second team on the stage of the LDL finals, you will have the opportunity to personally organize the relegation ceremony of your old club. ]
【A plan of revenge arises in your heart! 】
[You decided not to hide your cards anymore and let the outside world see that the sword of 30-year-old Lao Deng is still sharp! ]
【…】
Seeing this line of small words, Lu Yiming had a strange expression.
At 30, I'm having a pretty good time...
But what the hell is the LDL finals?
While Lu Yiming was still surprised, he saw another line of text appear in front of him.
[Release Task]: Win the finals! Use a clean and neat way to prove to the outside world that you can be the C!
[Reward]: Permanent attribute [Operation] +50%!!!
