Chapter 242 World Champion! (Part )
“It doesn’t feel that difficult—”
When the crystal exploded, Zhang Jiale still wanted to pretend.
After all, this is not the first time that Zhang Jiale has won the championship. If he can remain calm, he will appear more impressive.
Maybe after returning, I can also go for the temperament route in the live broadcast room——
However, the next second, just as he stretched, he was hugged by a burly figure.
For the five starting players of Fanhua, since the game was not too stressful, they were still able to remain calm.
However, Tian Sen in the background was completely different.
It’s only been one month since the transformation, and he has already won the most valuable trophy to date!
This record will be difficult to break in the future!
As early as when Fanhua wiped out the last wave of team on G2's high ground and began to push the crystal together, Tian Sen, who could not suppress his excitement, had already rushed up. Just at the moment when the crystal exploded, he tightly hugged Zhang Jiale, the first person he saw.
Little-known fact: Tian Sen is 1.9 meters tall and has a strong build, to the point where the glory battle seats are even crowded.
This one hugged...
Zhang Jiale immediately started rolling his eyes.
"Release... Release... I can't breathe..."
"Oh oh oh!" Tian Sen quickly let go. The half-dead Zhang Jiale suddenly collapsed on the chair, unable to get up.
"I'm sorry, Brother Le, I was too excited!" Tian Sen apologized quickly.
"Look at you, you look so ugly. This is what happens when you like to pretend!" Sun Zhe is always sharp-tongued.
In fact, when the game just ended, all five people on the field, except Mo Fan, wanted to show off to some extent.
The reason why Zhang Jiale suffered such a severe injury was simply because he was seen by Tian Sen.
Just at this moment, the camera on the field was shooting directly at the face of Fanhua's contestant seat, originally wanting to record the joyful scene after winning the championship.
But he happened to capture the entire scene.
Well, it's really fun, there's nothing wrong with it.
All of a sudden, the hosts and the audience who were originally shouting that we are the champions, all burst into laughter.
"What did I see? Le Ye was ganked by Tian Sen?"
"What Tian Sen? Call me Brother Sen!"
"G2 racked their brains but couldn't successfully gank Le Ye once, but Sen Ge did it in just five seconds!"
"So Brother Sen is better than the entire G2 team, no problem!"
"I see. No wonder Brother Sen didn't play. You can't even get past Fanhua, but you still want to see my Brother Sen?"
"What's the name of the silver weapon that sweeps the floor and burns incense? Instant death enlightenment! You get it, right? Because my previous opponents only realized it when they were about to die. Don't mess with me, Brother Mori!"
……
"It seems that Tian Sen is also very excited. After all, it is the first championship in his career!" Wei Chen was smiling in his heart, but he had to pretend to be serious on the surface.
"Yes, for this veteran who has been competing in the professional e-sports arena for six years, his first championship is the world championship. It can be said that he has been working hard for ten years!"
"His performance in this MSI competition was also obvious to all. No matter which region's mid laner he faced, he never lost the upper hand. It can be said that he played the style of our LPL region's mid laner!"
Wang Duoduo added seriously.
When Tian Sen suddenly announced that he had joined Fanhua before the MSi competition, most of the online public opinion was envious of him.
Although he is considered a veteran with both strength and honors in Glory, he has just made the transition after all.
He went straight into rotation for a top-notch team like Fanhua without playing a single game. Even if there is no doubt about his performance, it is common to envy his good luck.
But since MSi, Tian Sen has proved with his performance that his championship is not something he got by chance!
Although Tian Sen was unable to play in the finals because Xiye was in such good shape and played so smoothly, in previous games his and Xiye's playing frequency could be said to be 50-50.
Even because the two big brothers Fanhua Xuejing wanted to show off in some games, Tian Sen, who played more steadily and experienced, played one or two more games than Xiye.
He can proudly say that he played an indispensable role in this championship.
For a veteran, nothing can make his career more complete than this achievement.
After catching his breath, Zhang Jiale finally recovered and hugged his teammates and coaches tightly.
Perhaps after winning a championship, they can control their performance to a certain extent, but the excitement is completely impossible to suppress.
As everyone worked together, they lifted up the MSi championship trophy.
They are the champions of MSi!
world champion!
The atmosphere of the barrage gradually changed from joyful to serious.
Some old fans of Honor couldn't help but speak up.
"It's really... a scene that makes us, the old fans of Honor, feel deeply moved..."
"Yes, for an old audience like me who has already graduated and entered society, they are also an inseparable part of my youth..."
To them, Fanhua is simply a team brought together by a group of people with different backgrounds.
Zhao Yang, who has been in Linhai for six years and never even made it to the playoffs.
Guo Mingyu, Lu Liang and Tian Sen have been trying to maintain the last glory of Huangfeng for eight years, but they are still unable to save the company from collapse.
Sun Zheping retired sadly at the peak of his career.
Zhang Jiale, who led his team to the finals three times but returned home empty-handed three times, is still disappointed...
They all had their moments of brilliance, but were only one step away from achieving their long-cherished wish.
However, now, this flourishing team not only fulfilled the dreams of all of them at once, but also allowed them to directly surpass their old rivals who once suppressed them and reached the pinnacle of Chinese e-sports.
After all, there are many national champions, but so far, there is only one world champion.
Under the shining championship trophy, all the sadness, pain and unwillingness of the past were blown away by the wind.
The championship is the best reward for all the hardships they have gone through.
In addition to the old audiences who reminisced about the glorious years, the new audiences were more excited than each other.
"Three to zero! I can do it too!"
"We won the championship with all our wins, not even losing a single game! Fanhua is awesome!"
As we all know, there are two types of champions that can most excite the Chinese audience.
The first is to face an opponent who has suppressed you for years, or a desperate situation that is difficult to turn around, and to burn yourself, overcome the strong, and create a miracle to wipe out the previous shame.
This is why Pei Yunteng’s anti-Korean movement in his previous life could touch the hearts of LPL audiences so much.
For example, similar exciting duels often occur in the civil wars of the national table tennis team.
The other way is to demonstrate absolute dominance.
Expecting a miracle of overcoming the weak is a mentality that belongs to those who are lagging behind and those who are chasing after.
If I am the strongest one from beginning to end, why should I expect these?
Of course, what we want is to run over it all the way!
Just like the Chinese table tennis team versus foreign teams.
And what Fanhua achieved in this battle was obviously the latter.
The team won all the small games, except for the runner-up G2, which caused some trouble to Fanhua at the beginning of two small games.
All other teams failed to cause much trouble to Fanhua.
This perfect record brings unparalleled satisfaction to the young people of China.
You know, in this MSI, Fanhua is competing against Europe, North America, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia...
Almost all countries and regions that have grievances with China have been taught a lesson by Fanhua one by one, especially Neon, which directly beat them to Stockholm.
The key point is that e-sports is not like table tennis, which can explain remote livestock products as "niche projects that foreigners don't look down on."
Foreigners may not play table tennis much, but it is impossible for them not to play games!
The young people in China were completely delighted.
For them, the last time China was so powerful and invincible in the international arena seemed to be on the peninsula seventy years ago.
Suddenly, over in China, under the scorching sun at noon, countless dormitories and residential buildings erupted in deafening cheers.
"Fanhua is awesome! Fanhua is awesome!"
"I declare that no matter how the summer season goes, I will always be Fanhua's dog this year!"
"Go away, it's your turn? Woof woof woof!" This is the case in reality, and it is even more lively on the Internet.
First of all, all major LPL clubs sent congratulatory messages to Fanhua as soon as possible.
In this battle, Fanhua not only demonstrated their own strength, but also the overall prestige of the LPL region.
Currently around the world, except for some Iron-Blooded War Wolves who firmly support their own division, the vast majority of viewers have unsurprisingly awarded the title of the No. 1 division to LPL.
On the eve of the MSi competition, Fanhua registered her own official account on the external social media.
When other LPL teams saw this, they also joined in the fun and registered one after another.
Even though I don’t have a share in MSI this time, it will be useful when I enter the World Championship in the future!
However, their estimates were too conservative.
Fanhua's dimensionality reduction strike-level performance not only made herself famous, but also brought fame to the entire LPL.
I heard that Fanhua is not the clear number one in LPL, but is just one of the legendary “Big Three”?
I heard that Fanhua was beaten badly by other teams in their own region? Or was it three to one?
Even during the regular season, he was overturned by a car?
Whose general is so brave?
Immediately, many warriors took the lead and came to the Chinese internal network to inquire about intelligence. When they saw it, their eyes widened.
The one who beat up Fanhua was actually such a pretty little girl? And it seemed that her fighting ability was not much worse than Sun Zheping's?
There’s even a beautiful girl AD among his teammates who can fight with Zhang Jiale in the bottom lane?
You know, female players who can play in the top league are absolutely rare in any region.
And there are three in LPL.
When the scout sent the competition video of Tang Rou and others back to the Internet, it immediately sparked a new wave of discussion.
The contrast with the flourishing flowers made the LPL region's popularity soar like a rocket.
Amid such discussions, the game videos of LPL teams, which are generally more entertaining than those of other regions, have gradually been discovered by foreign bloggers.
Some exquisite tactical arrangements, individual performances of the players...
During this process, after the entire Japanese region defected, batches of foreign fans from the LPL region began to emerge in large numbers.
People from all countries admire the strong. As long as you are strong and have achievements, whatever you do is right.
For each club, the profits they have gained from opening up the e-sports market in China have already made them very satisfied.
Who knew it would be possible to open up overseas markets?
While they were overjoyed, they naturally owed a favor to the flowers that brought them honor.
When Fanhua won the championship, the entire LPL sent congratulatory messages in unison, which immediately added a festive spark to the already lively discussion atmosphere.
Among the many congratulatory messages, top clubs like Happy and Blue Rain also secretly expressed another meaning:
You just guard the LPL throne first, and we will be there for the World Championship soon!
If another club said this, people would more or less question whether they were just trying to attract attention.
But when these words came from Xingxin, who had fought back and forth with Fanhua, they really had some weight.
After all, judging from the performance of other MSi teams, if Xingxin were to go, they might also be able to win the championship.
In the World Championship, in addition to Fanhua directly obtaining a ticket, LPL also won three places.
Unless something major happens in the summer season, Happy and Blue Rain will definitely go to the world stage to take a look.
By the time……
"Fanhua: There are two more people as strong as me in our region as a guarantee!"
What really brought the whole joyful atmosphere to a climax was a heavyweight speech.
央视新闻:5月27日,英雄联盟S1季中冠军赛,中国LPL赛区战队@繁花电子竞技俱乐部以3:0战胜欧陆LEC赛区战队G2,获得2024年英雄联盟季中冠军赛冠军!恭喜!
There was nothing special about the post itself, but when coupled with the extremely important poster, it was enough to cause an explosive storm.
Many mainstream social groups who usually don’t pay much attention to e-sports, when they saw CCTV taking the lead in posting and celebrating the world champion, they felt a sense of honor and immediately commented:
"A strong youth means a strong country. Thumbs up to our Chinese athletes!"
"Well done to the young people! Bring glory to the country!"
……
In fact, for the emerging industry of e-sports, both in Pei Yunteng’s previous life and in this life, the higher-ups have long been paying attention to it and have not been very resistant to it.
As long as e-sports itself can work harder, even if it doesn't become mainstream, it would at least be able to reverse the stereotype of mainstream public opinion to a certain extent.
However, e-sports in both worlds have more or less problems.
The Full-Time World team is not enterprising and is closed-minded. They don't even go abroad to play games. The central bank can't find any reason to promote them.
And Pei Yunteng was an even more heavyweight among heavyweights in his previous life.
In 17, S7 was held in China, across many cities, and the finals were held in the Bird's Nest, a venue with great symbolic significance.
If we win the championship at the Bird's Nest, the social impact it will bring will not only be unparalleled, but will at least be no less than the first championship in any mainstream sport.
As a result, the LPL had the number one seed advance to the round of 16, was completely wiped out in the semifinals, and then had a terrible final with an LCK civil war.
The overwhelming shouts of “Faker” in the Bird’s Nest certainly looked lively, but who knows how many times those on the higher-ups frowned while watching this scene?
If it weren’t for the Asian Games championship and then IG’s first championship in S8, e-sports would have been over long ago.
In S10, LPL won two consecutive championships and was crowned the number one division. After three years, the higher-ups probably calmed down and once again showed enough attention to hold the S10 competition in Shanghai.
The deputy mayor of Shanghai personally delivered a speech to welcome e-sports fans from all over the world. This is the best possible outcome.
The results of it?
Not only did they lose to the fantastic big turtle in the final, but the Sea Whip Boys were also exposed for the huge scandal of being a C fan during the competition.
It can be said that he has completely lost face.
It was taken seriously twice and it was embarrassing twice. At this time, the authorities actually had a strong opinion on this.
But after all, there is still the Asian Games, which is one of the events that can truly enhance national honor.
If the new Asian Games team can win a gold medal for the country, it will be considered as making up for the mistake.
The results of it?
Bronze medal zone, step up!
In the past, LPL had a great start, but due to its own incompetence, it lost the expectations and trust of mainstream society and high-level officials and fell into a half-dead state.
However, in this life, the situation is completely different.
From the moment Pei Yunteng personally stepped forward to negotiate with the leaders, it was destined that e-sports in this world would move towards a completely new path.
And the LPL here is not the same group of steamed buns in the previous life. If there is a game, they can really win!
Winning the championship with all the wins and beating the whole world not only satisfied the audience but also the officials.
Young people, you are really trying your best!
It’s a pleasure to watch, so we will naturally not be stingy with the praise and rewards that are due.
The central bank personally sent out a message to congratulate, which might have been a reserved item for winning the championship in the past, but in this world where e-sports is still being kept secret until 2023, it is no less than a bombshell.
"Oh my god... it's the central bank? The central bank actually personally sent a message to congratulate Fanhua for winning the championship?"
"They no longer think we are just a bunch of internet-addicted teenagers?"
This time, it wasn’t just the audience who were upset.
Except for Fanhua who was still at the scene, all the LPL and LSPL players were stunned after seeing this news.
Then, everyone's eyes turned red.
For these e-sports players, especially those with more experience, the doubts and misunderstandings from their families and society are their common collective memories.
"Playing games is not doing your job properly!" "Find a proper class!" "Playing e-sports is disobedient and unfilial!"
Countless parents have reprimanded these young dream-chasing kids in this way.
Later, perhaps some of them succeeded, made money, and became famous, but deep down in their hearts, they still felt inferior.
Not all parents are so open-minded.
Just like the eldest senior brother’s parents, even if the eldest senior brother placed all the money and trophies he earned in front of them, they still wanted the eldest senior brother to find a class to attend.
E-sports players may be able to earn money and gain fame among young people, but they are still helpless in mainstream society.
After all, they are children who are excluded by mainstream society and have lost their ambition due to playing with toys.
But what now?
The central bank has recognized us!
The official recognized our achievements!
E-sports is not a waste of time, but a project that can truly bring glory to the country!
Countless teenagers who were once addicted to the internet straightened their chests at this moment.
The first update has 5,000 words, and there are another 5,000 words today, making a total of 10,000.
Come on, monthly tickets or something, I’ll recommend it.
