Chapter 240 We are the champions again! (Part )
Looking at the excited looks of the team members, Mingkai smiled slightly, very satisfied.

Although the players of Xingxin have been working hard during this period because of the defeat, negative incentives alone are not good for the overall psychological state of the team.

These young men must have a real desire to move forward.

…Well, boys.

Tang Rou doesn't need any encouragement at all now. What she needs is someone to calm her down.

As for Su Mucheng… as long as Ye Xiu was around, there was no need to worry about his mental state.

Mingkai secretly clenched his fists.

Compared to his teammates, he is the one who knows best how severe the challenges Xingxin will face next are.

It's not just Xingxin. The impact that the three mythical gods may suffer in the summer season is visible to the naked eye.

As Fanhua plays better and better in MSi, I don’t know about other countries, but at least in LPL, the attention received by major teams is rising.

I don’t know how many generous financiers are already waving their money and ready to join the game.

A round of big money spending has begun in LPL with great fanfare.

First of all, the most important point is to buy a second team.

It's not about buying one player at a time, but buying whole teams.

The outstanding performance of Xingxin's second team Jia Shi in the LSPL and their talent pool have made all teams realize the importance of having a second team.

For example, Blue Rain bought a bottom-tier team immediately after the spring season ended, and after screening, they added several players from Blue Rain's youth training camp. It seems that they want to compete with Excellent Era.

The major clubs that were not short of money spent money like raindrops, and soon each youth training camp had its own LSPL team.

As for the original LSPL players, not all of them are unemployed.

Most of them have been bought by LPL teams.

After a summer of tempering, a large number of outstanding young people have emerged in the LSPL.

At a time when none of the strong teams are likely to sell their star players, they are the best reinforcement for each team.

In addition to the athletes, the construction of the base and training team is also in full swing.

Many well-known game bloggers have been invited by major teams to step onto the stage as members of the coaching team.

With all these measures, the so-called pattern formed by LPL in the spring season will be completely inapplicable in the summer season.

The original lineups and structures of Xingxin and Blue Rain were complete enough and there was no need for reinforcement.

If they want to continue to maintain the glory of the Three Mythical Gods, it depends on how far these young people can grow.

As a coach, he has some ideas about this.

But it is a bit too early to say this now.

Time quickly came to 10:00 a.m. China time, 7:00 p.m. Los Angeles time.

Accompanied by deafening cheers, melodious and epic music slowly sounded.

Logically speaking, for a West Coast city like Los Angeles, the BGM should at least have some hip-hop style.

However, in order to maximize the symbolic significance of this MSI, Teng Hai decided to make the atmosphere more solemn.

Even for the landscape shots at the beginning, we didn’t choose a modern city. Instead, we read through the White Eagle History Book, which is not much thicker than the French World War II history, and finally found a few relatively ancient spots to shoot.

"Europe is getting further and further away and is getting closer and closer to winning the championship."

The voice of CAPS sounded, carrying with it the youthful vigor and some faint expectations.

“It would be a dream come true if I could win the world’s first League of Legends world championship representing Europe.”

"Is this trash talk? It doesn't seem as aggressive as what my buddies did in the Spring Finals." Yu Wenbo complained.

"The symbolic meaning of the game is different, and the style of trash talk must be quite different as well." Qiao Yifan watched intently.

If the trash talk promotional video for the Spring Finals is lively and relaxed, and in line with the modern cultural style represented by e-sports,

Then the "trash talk" in the MSi finals was as solemn as a duel between warriors.

G2 was also quite cooperative with Tenghai's intentions, and raised the goal of winning the MSi championship to a very high level right from the start.

The camera turned and Sun Zheping's cold and hard face appeared.

Compared to Xiaomao who sat upright, his sitting posture was much more casual. He looked relaxed, yet with a kind of unspoken domineering aura.

He seemed to be thinking of something happy, with a smile between his eyebrows.

"Before the group stage, the whole world thought we were a weak team, a small player that had to think twice before even playing against Japan."

"But I think now, no one should doubt Fanhua's strength."

Compared to the Spring Finals when he had to use some harsh words against Happy, Sun Zheping in the MSI finals no longer needed to make any exaggerated remarks during the trash talk segment.

Even if it is just stating the facts, the sense of oppression it brings is unparalleled.

This is Fanhua, a person who went from being an insignificant little character to a dark horse that left everyone far behind, and now to an invincible big devil.

Seeing that Xiaomao's statement was completely unable to suppress Sun Zheping's momentum, another core player of G2, Perkz, quickly came out to answer:

"During the semi-finals, many people thought that SKT, the dark horse, would make it to the finals, but we crushed them 3-0."

"And now facing another dark horse, we are ready to build our own empire."

The words are indeed very impressive, but when you think about G2's two defeats against Fanhua, the confidence seems a little bit lacking.

Zhang Jiale's response was much more concise:
"You can try it."

……

South Korea, SKT training base.

As the first team to be eliminated in the semifinals, SKT flew back home that night.

At this time, except for the double C, the other three had already packed up and went to their new teams.

Among them, Xiaohei and effort went to a team called DRX. It was said that they didn't have a chaebol background, but they were pretty strong and spent a lot of money on buying players in the free market.

It seems that he wants to achieve some results.

As for Park Jae-yoon, the previous wave of negative news seemed to have completely destroyed his reputation, resulting in his transfer journey not being smooth.

But no matter what, as long as there is no carry-type top laner, he is still one of the top top laners in LCK, and he eventually found his next home.

That bottom-ranked team in the spring season was willing to make the notorious Park Jae-yoon their absolute core, and the contract they offered was said to be quite generous.

However, after these three people left, the players who were to fill their vacancies have not yet arrived.

The main reason is that Lee Sang-hyuk has not yet made a complete choice.

He has basically determined the positions of jungler and support.

Jungler Bengi Bae Seong-woong is one of the jungle kings in the secondary league. If he was not from a chaebol youth training camp and was a little older, he would definitely be able to start in a strong LCK team.

In addition to the common advantages of top junglers such as first-class sense of smell and outstanding operation, Bengi had an outstanding highlight that prompted Lee Sang-hyuk to choose him.

That is being extremely good at maintaining the middle ground.

The midfielder he partnered with in the secondary league was considered by Lee Sang-hyuk to be of average level and of mediocre quality.

But with the help of Bengi, he managed to produce a stat panel that was better than those talented mid laners in the secondary leagues.

Although anyone who watched the game can tell who is in C.

If protecting a rookie can achieve such an effect, what about protecting yourself?
After losing at MSI, Lee Sang-hyuk locked himself in his room for a long time and eventually fell into a vicious circle.

He still firmly believed that only if his performance was indisputable and unsolvable enough could he gain a foothold and fight wits and courage with the control of the chaebols.

A jungler like Bengi, who can greatly enhance the mid lane performance, meets Lee Sang-hyuk's requirements.

As for the support, it was deft who specifically chose it.

Keria Liu Minxi, a young player from the secondary league, has just reached the minimum age for playing in the LCK.

This handsome boy has a very fancy hero pool and has used countless magical heroes to play support.

Apart from that, his basic skills are pretty solid, which makes Deft quite like him.

The jungler and support are done, and the only one who can bother Lee Sang-hyeok is the top laner.

After all, Park Jae-yoon is the league's top goalkeeper, and it would be quite difficult to fill the vacancy left by his departure.

If we could invite Smeb, it would be easy.

However, KT would never let their super daddy go. On the contrary, they are said to have introduced a jungler named Peanut, who plays very aggressively and is determined to avenge their defeat in the spring season.

There are some good top laners on the list that the management gave to Faker.

Zhang Qinghuan Marin, judging by the video, has good strength, and his playing style is quite compatible, and he is a master at supplementing development. However, he is too old and has just completed two years of military service, so his condition is completely unknown.

Duke Li Haocheng is pretty good in other aspects, but his carry ability does not seem to be that strong.

Although it is completely sufficient for SKT with Lee Sang-hyuk as the core, he is still somewhat worried.

After struggling for several days without an answer, Lee Sang-hyuk simply took a break and watched the MSI finals with Kim Hyuk-kyu.

The result of their pre-match discussion was surprisingly consistent with the judgment of everyone in Xingxin: G2 would not have any chance.

Even though this G2 team once defeated them 3:0, they still believed so.

"So handsome, Senior Zhang Jiale..." Jin Hekui stared at Zhang Jiale as he uttered those domineering and cruel words, his eyes shining.

As a little fan of Zhang Jiale, at least during MSi he had no chance to trigger LOL's "I am your fan" law.

But it does not stop him from watching his idol's games.

"Yeah... the domineering attitude that is supported by real strength." Li Xianghe was also fascinated.

Compared to Kim Hyuk-kyu, he obviously thinks more.

Of course, he had investigated the origins of Fanhua. To be precise, he had studied the origins of almost all the well-known players in LPL.

The figure that emerged in his mind at this moment was not Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping on the screen, but Ye Xiu who was far away in China.

In a sense, Ye Xiu is also one of the important references that makes Li Xianghe anxious to improve his strength.

In his opinion, Ye Xiu is the deified being in Chinese e-sports.

As early as the retirement of Jia Shi, he should have been forced to leave the stage due to thunderbolt.

However, because his strength was strong enough, strong enough to resist all evil spirits, in the end even if Excellent Era was finished, he, Ye Xiu, would still stand.

In the new LPL environment, Ye Xiu is like a fish in water. If it weren't for Fanhua's incredible performance in the finals, he would be the one sitting there and making threats to the whole world.

Alas, if the environment of LCK could be as good as that of LPL, there wouldn’t be so many troubles.

Life is not easy, Brother Li sighed.

On the screen, the two teams were still arguing with each other, but in Li Xianghe's opinion, it was a one-sided crushing victory.

No matter how much G2 raises their ambitions or increases their value, Fanhua only needs to state the facts during MSi to dissolve all their attacks and fight back fiercely.

This is the confidence that comes from having absolute strength.

Finally, after Xiaomao's rather lengthy nonsense, Fanhua sent out Zhang Jiale to do the final cleanup.

As if he suddenly remembered something, Zhang Jiale's eyes lit up with excitement.

"If we can win the championship 3:0 in the final,"

"From the group stage, to the competition and then to the finals, we, Fanhua, came here to represent LPL and won the championship without losing a single game,"

He stretched out his fist, swung it vigorously, and revealed a confident and sunny smile, a smile that Zhang Jiale would never have shown a year and a half ago.

"That means we are - the first division!"

First Division? First Division!

Although the shelf life can only last until before the World Championship, if Fanhua can really win the championship without losing a single game, then the title of the No. 1 league will be firmly established for LPL.

LPL, when were you number one in the world?
Just today, just today!
"The first division...it's really a dream..." Li Xianghe sighed sincerely and found that his good brother's eyes were also shining.

Who wouldn’t want to speak such heart-stirring words on a stage like this?
"Come to think of it, we seem to be missing a member who can talk trash?" Li Xianghe suddenly remembered something.

It’s not that there has to be a troll talking trash, it’s mainly because the atmosphere in SKT right now seems a little dull.

When Park Jae-yoon was there, it was force majeure, but now everything has changed, and it’s time to find a more lively type.

Among the four members of SKT now, Faker and Bengi are the types who don’t talk much, and their trash talk doesn’t have much killing power.

Not to mention the bottom lane duo. Mr. Dai and Xiao K have gentler tempers than the other, so it is really difficult for them to say harsh words.

So apart from Lee Sang-hyuk's hard work and practice, it seems that the only one who can be considered during the trash talk phase is the top laner?
But neither Marin nor Duke seem to be the type who are particularly eloquent.

From this point of view, it seems that we should really try to find a happy type?
Li Xianghe pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

It seems like there is someone who is somewhat suitable.

He is currently number one in the Korean server. He plays very aggressively and has good strength. The only flaw is that he can only be considered a high-scoring passerby and has never played a single game.

This guy has broadcast on a live streaming platform in South Korea. Lee Sang-hyeok has also watched some of his videos. He is a cheerful and playful type, which is quite suitable for the current SKT.

And for some reason, the first time he saw that somewhat honest face, Li Xianghe instinctively felt that this child had some potential to be a champion.

Then, it is decided that it is him?

"What are you thinking about, Brother Sang Hyuk?" Kim Hyuk Kyu asked curiously when he saw Lee Sang Hyuk in a daze.

"Think about who will be our top laner in the summer season." Finally, Li Xianghe made up his mind.

"Oh? Have you made your decision? Marin or Duke?" Deft asked curiously.

"Neither." Li Xianghe smiled slightly, picked up the paper and pen on the table and wrote down an ID.

Top laner: Khan.

……

Back to the scene.

Tenghai's carefully produced pre-match promotional video, which was full of epicness and confrontation, naturally achieved the desired effect.

The cheers at the scene were deafening.

Even though the subsequent song and dance performance had already begun, the scene was still immersed in the atmosphere created by the promotional video.

In addition to the majority of local White Eagle fans who were watching the fun and concentrating on enjoying the show, fans from various countries who came specially to support the show were already going full throttle and completely crazy!
"Let's Go, G2!"

"Let's Go, G2!"

As the last glory of Europe, G2's finals attracted countless fans of different nationalities to cheer for them on the spot.

They used the slogans most commonly used in e-sports events in Europe and the United States, accompanied by uniform shouts and powerful drum beats created by collective clapping, which maximized the sense of shock.

On the other hand, the support from Chinese fans was simple and crude.

Some of them flew all the way from China to Los Angeles specifically to watch the game, and many were local students studying in Los Angeles.

At this moment, someone took out a huge and conspicuous red flag from his bag and started waving it vigorously in the audience!
On the stage, everyone in Fanhua looked at the bright red flag in the audience and suddenly became serious.

"We have become the hope of fans across the country..." Zhang Jiale murmured.

"That's natural." Lu Liang continued.

Having worked abroad for many years, he knows best the international situation of the Chinese.

"Not to mention the fans in China, life abroad is not easy for these international students who have left their hometown thousands of miles away."

"The White Eagle guys don't think much of the yellow race, and we don't have the zzzq protection that the black guys have."

"Although our country is getting stronger day by day, it is not very obvious in the eyes of ordinary people abroad."

"Tenghai's games are the most successful cultural output of China in recent years, but ordinary people don't really care who the developer is when they play games."

At this point, Lu Liang's voice also took on a hint of excitement.

“But you are different.”

"Competitive sports are almost one of the most brutal ways for ordinary people in White Eagle Country to feel whether a country is strong or not."

"Dominating in their favorite sports is an important way to make them affirm our nation."

"More than a decade ago, when Yao Ming was dominating the NBA, the White Eagles looked up to the Chinese."

Lu Liang looked at the young figure waving the flag vigorously and felt a little emotional:

"For international students, they are eager for you to play for them and show the elegance of China."

"I understand." Zhang Jiale smiled and turned to look at his teammates.

He has never been arrogant in the Fanhua team, but even Sun Zheping, who won the FMVP, admitted that Zhang Jiale is the real boss of Fanhua now.

"In this case, for the sake of our compatriots and for the glory of our first division,"

"Shut them down."

"understand!"

　Update has been sent, sorry for the long wait.

　　Give me some monthly tickets, good night.
