This time, Zhen Tian didn't let Lu Lin arrange a hotel for them because she secretly invited her older brother, uncles, and parents to go together. To avoid distracting him from the competition, she only said the tickets were for her classmates.
Therefore, Ji Yuzhi was the one who picked them up at the airport when they arrived in S City.
"The hotel is all arranged, everyone get in the car." Ji Yuzhi rented two minivans: "This is my roommate, Zhao Zeyuan. Zeyuan, these are my family members."
"Hello." After Zhao Zeyuan got out of the car and greeted the group of people, the car slowly drove away.
Zhen Tian naturally sat in the passenger seat next to Ji Yuzhi: "Where are the other two brothers?"
She was asking about the other two roommates she had met before.
"Feng Li and Zheng An can't drive. And don't call me 'brother,' call me by my name." Ji Yuzhi pinched Zhen Tian's cheek while waiting for the red light.
The older brothers sitting in the back seat avoided my gaze. It was unbearable to look.
Ye Qingyan and Yang Feiguang came alone, taking the late flight today, which meant they would have to attend an extra day of classes. Although neither of them wanted to, they compromised under the pressure of their homeroom teacher.
The LPL World Championship is kicking off this year in S City. Coincidentally, this year is my country's home venue, and it's in the capital city, so both domestic teams that qualified are giving it their all to win the championship. After all, it's home turf, and they're concerned about saving face.
Lu Lin didn't even have time to glance at Zhen Tian before the match.
Today is the first match of the knockout stage, but the mg team is not playing today, so everyone is staying at the hotel to rest for the day.
MG's first match officially kicked off on the second day.
The knockout stage will select four teams from the top eight teams worldwide to enter the semifinals, and finally the remaining two teams will compete in the finals.
Fearing it would affect MG's performance in the quarterfinals, the Zhen family members all covered their faces or wore hats, trying to avoid putting pressure on Lu Lin, who was competing on stage.
Only Zhen Tian sat next to Ji Yuzhi and Ye Qingyan, with Yang Feiguang beside Qingyan. The four of them sat in the front row, holding large light boards that read, "Lu Lin, the best Lu Lin in the entire LPL, keep it up!"
"Alright, dear viewers, good evening! I'm Lao A, and I'm Pikachu. We're currently providing live commentary from S City, the capital of Z Country. This is the highly anticipated first match of the quarterfinals, MG vs. Puy. We can see that both sides have entered the ban/pick phase..."
Enough with the chit-chat, let's get straight to the point.
The eldest uncle in the back row patted Zhen Tian's shoulder and asked loudly, "What is BP?"
Zhen Tian: ...
Zhen Tian: ? ? ? I don't know either.
"Uncle, BP means picking the heroes you like and banning the heroes you don't want to appear," Yang Feiguang, the only e-sports fan, explained to his uncle.
What is a hero?
Yang Feiguang: "It's the person in the picture."
As he spoke, he moved to the second row and took charge of answering questions from the elders at the back.
"We can see that MG banned Renekton first. We know that picking Renekton will work well with their jungler..." The commentator dutifully described the entire scene.
But it was all for naught.
None of the Zhen family members understood what they were saying.
The match went into the second game, where MG narrowly secured a victory by a single second amidst a frantic push to destroy the enemy's crystal. This was MG's second win of the night. A victory in their next match would guarantee them a ticket to the finals.
"Now we are about to face the most important match point game. If MG wins this game, they will advance directly to the semifinals. As a veteran team, MG has always achieved many good results in various major competitions. However, since the former mid laner's hand injury recurred, MG has lost the finals of several major competitions. It is unknown whether the new mid laner will change this situation after joining this year."
"Tian Shen's performance this year can be described as smooth sailing. In his first year with the team, he won both the Summer Split and the Playoffs, proving his strength is not to be underestimated. Moreover, Tian Shen has never fallen from the top spot in the national server, which is also a testament to his strength. Let's look forward to what surprises MG will bring us today. However, it must be said that PuY seems to have mastered a new tactic, and everyone is showing the familiar smiles they had when they won matches in previous years. It seems that this game will be tough for MG."
Lu Lin took a sip of water and nodded as he listened to the coach's instructions behind him.
"Xiao Lin seems to be..."
"Don't you think the young man seems different?" Zhen Tian turned around and held her aunt's hand: "The young man is growing up too."
"Yes." Aunt looked at the composed boy on the stage, who no longer seemed like the child who used to drive her crazy: "How much suffering must he have endured to become like this?"
As parents, their first thought is heartache.
“This is a good thing.” The eldest uncle held his wife’s hand.
Instead, Ji Yuzhi smiled and said, "Uncle and Aunt, there's no need to worry too much. Lu Lin is doing very well."
"How did you know?" Zhen Tian asked curiously.
"Because their boss called me several times to complain that Lu Lin's team was going bankrupt."
Regardless of whether this statement was true or false, Lu Lin's parents were completely relieved.
"As long as it's edible."
The commentators' usual "jinx" failed them in this match. Lu Lin's MG team lost a game to Puy. The match has now moved to the fourth game.
MG still has a chance.
The expressions on both teams' faces were noticeably more serious than before. For Puy, a win in this game would put them at match point. For MG, another loss would place even greater pressure on them.
After all, playing a full seven matches is extremely taxing on a player's body and joints.
"Now we are in the fourth game of MG vs. PUY. At this point, I think MG is very likely to get the blue side again and continue to pick Kai'Sa first. It depends on whether PUY has a way to deal with it."
"Go Lu Lin!"
"Keep it up, bro!"
During the break, Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan waved their light sticks and shouted at the top of their lungs during the opening ban/pick phase.
Lu Lin seemed to have heard them and looked in their direction.
He gave Zhen Tian a thumbs-up.
"We saw the god raise his thumb; is that to mean Puy is very strong?"
"What's so great about it? Do you see those two pretty little fangirls down there?"
The director cleverly cut the camera to Zhen Tian and Ye Qingyan's faces, and this time the cheers in the audience were even louder.
"Wow, it seems that pretty girls really should be a common property of everyone."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Let's pan the camera to the god-like player..."
The competition officially began, and the players on stage were hearing the voices of their teammates through their headphones.
Ye Qingyan slumped in the chair, the light board pressing down on her, panting heavily: "I didn't expect this to be such a physically demanding job."
