Chapter 165: The "Desire" for the Championship! Old friends meet on the eve of the finals!
Chapter 165: The "Desire" for the Championship! Old friends meet on the eve of the finals!
"What are you laughing at?"
Ye Bo walked into the backstage and found that Ueno and Ye, who were going to the wildcard zone and the European zone for interviews, were already in the room, laughing loudly.
"Master Ye, why are you back so quickly? How easy is it for LCK to let you go?" Jiejie asked jokingly.
"I don't know either. The host seemed to be in a hurry to get off work." Ye Bo shook his head and said, "How did you guys get it done so quickly?"
"That European interview didn't have much content. They just wanted me to do something awkward. They wanted me to imitate the words you said to 'help me' last time," Saint Spear pinched his throat and imitated the hoarse voice in the last interview.
"I'm over it, cancel my account!" Jiejie stretched out his finger in an exaggerated manner.
"The wildcard I went to was in the Vietnam region. I didn't dare to speak more than five words the whole time! So it ended very quickly."
Thinking of the classic joke that the Vietnamese translator had made before, everyone smiled at each other.
"Come on, Master Ye, I'll give you a toilet stall. It's so busy today!"
Ye Bo turned on his phone, and as usual, he first saw 99+ unread messages in various apps.
He had intended to send out a mass reply as usual.
But when I started to take action, I found that the specific number of unread messages this time seemed a bit too outrageous!
Compared to the quarterfinals, the semifinals may have reached the realm of success, and the attention has increased by more than one level!
I can tell from the number of unread messages that this time, in addition to my family and friends and a bunch of contestant friends, even many contacts I don’t usually know sent congratulatory messages.
There are even quite a few managers from various clubs who were added before coming to EDG.
When Ye Bo was choosing a team after reaching the top of the national server, he specially added the information of the 16 LPL teams for comparison, and he never deleted it afterwards.
Of course, due to the existence of management regulations, these managers did not talk about "sensitive topics" and only spoke some congratulatory words.
But the purpose is very clear. It is to prepare for the subsequent transfer period!
If the results are good within the region, you can also forcibly say that you only know how to fight internal wars.
If we perform well in the group stage and still insist on being in BO1, it doesn’t mean anything.
But after the quarterfinals, everyone had nothing to say. At most, they would force themselves to say that he was just a third seed.
But in the semi-finals, facing the LCK's No. 1 seed who everyone regarded as the favorite to win the championship, facing the "LCK's No. 1 mid laner Chovy" who many people were talking about - the result did not change at all!
Including the managers of these clubs, they already know what they have missed.
In the friend list, there is even information from the RNG leader.
Back then, Ye Bo hung up the phone without even listening to the conversation after receiving a call from the person in charge of RNG. The person in charge felt that this newcomer was too "arrogant" and deliberately did not make any efforts afterwards.
I can only say that if I could do it again
Ye Bo rejected the friend request and sent a reply message to the group to communicate normally.
After switching out of the interface, I saw a long string of messages in the loving family pinned at the top, and it was obvious that they were watching the live broadcast of the event in real time.
Ye Bo immediately hung up the video call happily.
"Mom! Am I awesome?"
Ye Bo held up the front camera and asked for praise from a close distance.
"Son! Good job, Son! You are such an amazing blasting genius!" Ye Ying's tone was as excited as that of a female fan in the front row of the audience.
"Why don't you turn on the camera? Where's Dad?"
"Your dad and I are just about to go to work. Your dad has a bit of a cold lately~" Ye Ying responded casually and continued, "I feel like this blasting genius is very suitable for me. When you finish the game next week, come back and teach your mom!"
Ye Bo smiled brightly at the camera.
Although he enjoys interacting with audiences and fans under the spotlight, he enjoys the current environment more.
"Okay, but it's a pity that I probably won't be able to play Daji in this S game. Otherwise, I will definitely bring you a champion skin!"
Ye Ying's tone was obviously full of smiles, and she corrected him: "What Daji? That's the nine-tailed demon fox!"
"It's okay. Your dad and I have already agreed that we will practice the hero together no matter what skin you choose."
"We all believe that you can do it!"
The match schedule for S12 is quite weird, with all matches starting at a.m. in China.
Fortunately, EDG's three games could be called speedruns, and it was just during working hours when I finished watching the three games. The ratings were much better than the previous one.
After some greetings and concern and hanging up the phone, Ye Bo's face was still filled with unstoppable happiness.
Jiejie came over with great envy: "Auntie is so nice, Master Ye, I really envy you."
Ye Bo also feels that he is very lucky to have the same hobbies as his mother and can even discuss his work and hobbies with her.
Saint Spear Brother seemed to be quite touched, with a proud look on his face: "Hey, this is the parent of an e-sports genius like us. I remember my first computer was bought by my mother when I was a kid and I got full marks in both Chinese and maths, ranking first in the class."
"Is this true, Brother Qiang? You've got full marks in Chinese and maths!?" Jie Jie looked skeptical: "When did that happen?"
"First grade of elementary school!"
Ye Bo's mouth stretched from ear to ear and he slid the screen to exit the interface.
Use the link sent in the group to directly and accurately transfer to the best squatting position.
He used to think that watching these things was not a good idea, but now every time after a game, if he doesn’t open it and watch it for a while, he always feels like something is missing.
Really fragrant!
The semi-finals just ended not long ago, and it is still early morning in China, but netizens are still extremely energetic.
The number of people participating in the scoring post has already exceeded four digits in just a short while, which shows how popular this semi-final is!
Ye Bo clicked in.
What caught my eye was my own makeup photo, which unsurprisingly became the most popular floor.
【Welcome to: The comment section that makes the LCK comment section gnash their teeth! 】
[☆︶（^ひ^）︶★:oi! This bomberman feels a bit hot]
[The real Silas in human form! He can do things that other heroes can't do. This is simply Silas himself! ]
[I hit him too hard, Chaowei turned him into wonton! And it was wonton with brown sugar filling—red and tangy! ]
[Master Ye's hero pool is really scary, right? Should we say he's a bit lucky? Not only does he have special skills in every version, but he can also pull out unpopular monsters like Nunu Pike and Ziggs at any time. Don't be too outrageous! ]
[This is not luck, this is called destiny! ]
[Last week, he carried the team forward. This week, he is aiming for the finals with three stars under his feet. Master Ye, please lead us again! ]
[I choose A Ye as the leader! He can lead the club to win the championship! ]
[The story of the domestic mid laner finally has hope! ]
Ye Bo was admiring the post below, and many viewers were spontaneously making GIF images of the highlights of the game.
From a different perspective, watching my own flashes of inspiration on the field is quite a different feeling.
From the perspective of visual experience alone, netizens believe that the most amazing scene is the "Triple Link" in which the bomber does three somersaults in the air, as if it were a super "three-step layup" starting from the center line of the court and rushing towards the faces of the crowd with a big move.
However, Ye Bo himself felt that the most difficult wave to operate was actually "The Abduction: The Forbidden Wall".
Although "The Bite of Himself" looks more flashy.
But that wave of operations, whether in terms of hand speed, reaction, or coordination of operations, can be said to be Ye Bo's true peak state!
If it were me who had just entered the professional arena, even if I practiced this move hundreds of times in the training camp in advance, the success rate in actual combat would not be very high.
The reason why he was able to perform that wave was not only because the two heroes, {Sylas} and {Tsar}, were the two heroes he had used the most recently, but also because he relied on a proficiency bonus of nearly "double level seven".
More importantly, there is the {basic talent improvement} training that I have already digested.
Although the improvement of various basic talents does not seem to have many "intuitive" changes, it cannot allow Ye Bo to crush his opponents directly through basic abilities.
But at this critical moment, this ability is most tested!
It is equivalent to being able to truly raise the "upper limit".
There is also a picture on the floor that was moved from Weibo.
The picture showed Ye Bo standing up and roaring at the audience after the quarterfinals when he suddenly became emotional. It received a strange "huge amount of attention" on Weibo.
But the focus of the picture is the comment section!
[So handsome and sunny, I didn’t expect that internet-addicted teenagers could be handsome…]
[Family members, who understands? I only play King of Glory, but I’ve become a fan of a League of Legends player. Tell me his Weibo! ]
[Okay, I’ll tag you @带带大师兄]
[I really like the contrast between this kind of harmless boy off the court and then killing everyone on the court ah ah ah ah ah]
[This group of b comments on this blog are really funny]
[It’s like this, when watching e-sports games, people only look at faces. They post so many pictures, all of which are GIFs of operations, but no one in the comment section discusses the operations! ]
Ye Bo looked at the comments in the picture and got even more goosebumps than when he saw the previous remarks suspected to be from Nan Tong.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't log off Weibo! He quickly exited the post and scrolled down.
Closely attached is Chaowei’s scoring content.
The number of comments here is almost the same as Ye Bo's.
In such a 3-0 match, the excitement was so intense. Apart from the explosion of kills, one can imagine the reason!
[Chao Wei: Sorry, I feel like a soldier again, hehe]
[Chovy clasped his hands together and asked for help from Valhalla. The only response he got was a series of unclear unknown words: "Reaching the ￥@top four%... that would be considered a success!"]
[No, buddy, is your Hall of Valor serious? Did you connect it to the obstetrics and gynecology department by mistake? ]
[No! This should be a real hammer, because Chaowei does not recognize Chinese characters, he inputs it by voice and is directly transferred to the "Infant Spirit Hall"! ]
[These left and right hands are amazing, they belong to me, the left hand is a collector, the right hand is a Hydra——————one can only kill, the other can only brush! 】
[I can only say it's a pity, Chaowei was born in the wrong era. The Red Alert competition is not popular now, otherwise he would be invincible! He is just crazy about farming soldiers outside. If you want a base, I will give it to you. Anyway, he can take out ten base vehicles in return! ]
[Does Chao Wei have obsessive compulsive disorder? It seems that if you put a little pressure on him to last hit, he will chase back immediately, even giving up the Dragon Soul and the Ancient Dragon————So I have a plan. When fighting Chao Wei, you can give all the soldiers and monsters to the mid laner before the resource group, so that the last hits will exceed Chao Wei. When Chao Wei is anxious, he will give up resources and go to last hit! ]
Compared to these general, global comments.
Some people even discovered more outrageous details when reviewing the game afterward!
For example, although there were clear opportunities to roam in several waves, Ryze in the third game did not choose to roam, and would rather take a detour to his own F6 to get another bite.
For example, some people discovered that the GEN team seemed to know about each other's "little habit".
Everyone in the team, including Chidi, would hold back even the last hit when "taking out a ward" and leave it to Tsar to attack - even if the AD has already raised his hand, he would immediately put the hit back!
A wave of outrageous operations triggered a barrage of sharp criticism.
[It is recommended to send Chao Wei to the 38th parallel immediately. There are more soldiers there! That is where his talent should be brought into full play! ]
[Okay, okay, let's go be a filler, right? ]
[First of all, putting aside the base, I want to ask you whether he gets a lot of last hits! ]
[Don't be so mean! Do you know how expensive air tickets are during the pandemic? Chovy was just brushing the third lane to get money for the team's air tickets! He made me cry! ]
[Do you think there is a possibility that Chaowei has a system that requires him to bet ten knives before he can join the group? ]
[Wrong! In fact, Chaowei signed a "last-hit contract", which means his salary will be deducted if his CS per minute is lower than a certain number. This contract was signed by the same law firm as Zuoshou's "KDA contract"! ]
Even though GEN was defeated 3-0, it certainly couldn't have been all the fault of one person.
For example, some people gave a fair evaluation of the performance of the entire GEN team in this BO5——
"After watching this match, Master Roshi would say: I am the best, Turtle!"
However, due to the sharp contrast in the performance of the opponent's mid laner in the three games, and the fact that Ryze's performance in the third game was indeed a disaster, he became the main target of firepower.
And under this post, people are discussing and analyzing why Chovy performs like this every year.
Obviously, there are reasons why the LCK region and Riot Games want to "create a god" to replace the aging Faker.
But since Chovy can be selected as this candidate, his talent and strength are naturally beyond doubt.
He reached the peak as soon as he debuted. During his debut in 19, he had a terrifying record of 44 kills, 1 death and 60 assists in more than a dozen games, creating the first outrageous record of "100+KDA" in the global arena!
At that time, everyone even said that this was a record that had never been set before and would be difficult to break in the future!
However, the top eight in the first year were inexperienced, the top eight in the second year were still growing, and the top eight in the third, fourth, and fifth years.
This series of failures can definitely be said to be due to a problem with mentality.
[It can only be said that talent does exist, but there is never a shortage of talented people in this world, and the one who can really reach the top is not necessarily the most talented person! ]
[Geniuses are often sensitive and fragile. Only those who can stand up again after being broken are the real geniuses.]
[You called out YE, right? ]
[That's not right. Master Ye has never been a bad person. Why does he have such a mentality? In the final analysis, he is not worthy of the position. He is not willing to come down after being praised by others for a position that does not belong to him. He can't blame others for affecting his mentality.]
Ye Bo felt a little touched when he saw these words.
Chovy's laning matchup was indeed the most "refined" opponent he felt he had faced so far. There were almost no obvious flaws, it was just a difference in playing style.
Ye Bo could even clearly feel that if we only looked at "talent" of the other party, he should be better than him at the moment.
So talent alone may not be enough.
At least, everyone's degree of "desire" for the championship is really different.
When Ye Bo thought of this, he turned around and silently glanced at Brother Saint Spear who was still laughing and playing with Jie Jie.
Saint Spear Brother, who debuted in s4, can be said to have reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted. He was definitely a talented young man back then.
However, if we only look at the first seven years of his professional career, he never made it to the S-League once. The closest he came even left him with serious injury sequelae, but he still fell short of that last step.
After only seeing these seven years, there must be many people who will say: "What roadside", "cjb", "empty name"...
But if he had given up at that time, or had just given up on himself, he would not have entered the S game for the first time in the eighth year and directly became the first domestic champion top laner.
As for mentality.
Ye Bo still had to think about the help that old Dengbo had given him.
Although they are essentially the same person.
But if it weren't for old Dengbo, he didn't know whether he would have such a determined heart when he reached this step.
"Master Ye, why are you looking at me like that? I'm reporting it! It was Zhao Lijie who created a fake account to post messages under the post just now. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Hey! Master Ye, don't listen to him. I'm not criticizing you. I'm criticizing the factory manager. It's easy to cheat the factory manager... Ouch!"
A brain-shattering person instantly invaded the jungle area: "Zhao Lijie, I haven't settled the score with you just now!"
"Bullying! Someone is bullying..."
At this time, Meiko and Viper also came back from the interviews.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.
Just as everyone was packing up to leave, Meiko suddenly held up her cell phone and handed it to the factory manager.
"Director, look who this is!"
Everyone leaned over curiously.
The video call interface on the phone screen showed a gentle and shy face, with a chubby round face next to it.
"Ouch Hekwui!"
Mingkai saw the happy expression on his old teammate’s face.
"Long time no see." Deft on the other side greeted in fairly standard Chinese.
"Congratulations on making it to the finals. I knew you could do it."
Deft's congratulations were clearly sincere.
Just like everyone on EDG was nervous when watching their game before, they all hoped that each other could go one step further... until this scene.
The two sides greeted each other, and Mingkai enthusiastically introduced everyone to the other side.
On the other side, there was only the bottom lane duo stuck together, and Beryl waved to everyone in a silly manner.
"Really, I'm looking forward to this final. No matter the result... this should be the best ending." Deft said with a smile, his words seemed to have deep meaning.
Mingkai hugged Ye Bo, Meiko hugged Viper, and the Ueno brothers stood by.
"So are we."
"He Kui, we are different this time. We will not show mercy!"
Mingkai said as he patted Ye Bo's shoulder towards the camera.
There seemed to be a fire in the eyes of both parties.
There is something else besides their burning desire for the championship.
But Ye Bo noticed it.
Beryl next to him seemed to be looking at him with "curiosity"...
