"Have some water." Zhen Tian handed Ye Qingyan a bottle of coconut water.
Ye Qingyan unscrewed the cap and took a big gulp. After finishing, she wiped the water droplets off her chin with her elbow and said, "We won't be playing until the wee hours tonight, will we?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Zhen Tian pressed her hand firmly to her mouth: "Little Brother will definitely win this round."
"Hey, are your hands clean?" Ye Qingyan spat twice in the direction Yang Feiguang had just been.
"What do you think..." Zhen Tian waved her hand, about to hit Ye Qingyan's face.
"I was wrong. I was wrong. Please stop!"
The two stood out among a group of hysterical e-sports fans.
"Brother Ji, help me!!!" Ye Qingyan's cries for help were deafening.
"Alright. Let's watch the game." Ji Yuzhi gently tugged at Zhen Tian's wrist, pulling her back.
"We have a chance, we have a chance! We see we have twenty seconds left, and now we can almost say... we feel it's possible, we feel it's possible! A storm of attacks! One punch sent someone who just came out of the fountain back into it! We're good, we're good!"
"Holy crap, that final blow! Congratulations to MG for winning 3-1 and carrying the hopes of esports fans nationwide into the semifinals. In this game, we saw MG use different offensive methods..."
"We won? We won!"
After that, no one could hear what the commentators were saying anymore. Zhen Tian jumped up, waving her hands and shouting, "Zhi Zhi won!!!"
"Yes, I saw it." Ji Yuzhi smiled and caught her. Before he could hug her for even two seconds, Zhen Tian turned around and shouted to everyone, "Mom and Dad, my brother won! Uncle and Aunt, did you see that?!"
"I saw it! I saw it!" Auntie sat there, not standing up and cheering like all the MG team fans, but secretly wiping away tears.
Lu Lin hugged his teammates and glanced at Zhen Tian as he stepped off the podium.
Zhen Tian made a heart shape with her hands above her head as he bounced around, and kept blowing him kisses.
"God, let's go. Time to receive the award." The team members shoved him.
Lu Lin imitated Zhen Tian by making a heart shape with his hands, which drew another round of cheers from the audience.
"It's obvious our sister is here again, otherwise our god wouldn't be so flirtatious."
The team breathed a sigh of relief after securing the victory, and the atmosphere among the five players was lively. After all, they were only two matches away from the world championship.
The semi-finals are in two days.
Over two days, Zhen Tian and Ji Yuzhi visited MG's training base.
Since it was a crucial period in the competition, the two didn't stay long, just cheered Lu Lin on and left.
The other team from country Z failed to reach the semifinals the day after MG's match, ending their run in the LPL quarterfinals. Their elimination made the burden on MG even heavier. After all, they carried the expectations of a nation's esports fans and all esports players, and MG dared not relax for a moment during the two days they waited for the semifinals.
The team's rehabilitation therapist accompanied the team throughout the competition, and Li Chengqian also hired a dedicated nutritionist to take care of the team's diet over the next few days.
The semifinals have begun, and MG team once again secured their ticket to the LPL World Championship finals with a score of 3-1.
This means that MG is only one step away from the world championship.
It's been seven years since China won the LPL World Championship, which means that if they win this year, it will be another moment that will be recorded in history.
Esports fans are filled with fervent anticipation; this year is the most promising year yet.
The finals officially kicked off in City S. As the last match and the most important one for esports players worldwide, LPL's finals venue setup was even more grand and spectacular.
"Alright, welcome everyone to the League of Legends World Championship. I'm Old A, I'm Abby, and I'm Giant Wheel. We're still bringing you live from S City in Z country. After half an hour of cheers from the audience, the first match of the finals is finally about to begin."
Today, Lu Lin, sitting on the competition stage, was much more serious than in the previous matches, and all the team members listened attentively to the coach's instructions from behind.
We are all in this together. Today, the fans here are not divided by team, only by nationality. All the fans from country Z are chanting the same name.
Go MG!
The match started with MG as the first team to go.
"Holy crap, I didn't expect the finals to be this tense."
Yang Feiguang, the only one who seemed to understand, appeared even more tense than Lu Lin on stage.
"How was it? Was the opponent strong?" Ye Qingyan was more concerned about this.
"Three-time world champion, LPL star ADC. Isn't that amazing?" Yang Feiguang felt a little powerless, yet his hope burned brightly.
"It sounds like this match against Senior Lu won't be easy."
Ye Qingyan's words proved prophetic.
At the finals, it's rare to see two teams go the full seven games.
And today.
After losing two games in a row, in order to avoid being shut out, MG used an unexpected four-protect-one strategy and successfully won a game.
They barely managed to turn the tide in the third game.
In the fourth game, MG lost again due to a mistake by their support player. This meant that if their opponent won just one more game, they would secure the victory.
The fifth game, the match point, is about to begin.
This game will determine whether MG has a chance to compete for the world championship or will be eliminated in the championship match.
Lu Lin: "Go up and get on the road, be careful to keep him under control."
Sweat streamed down his forehead.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! We can fight!"
The scene of destroying each other's crystals has once again appeared on the LPL world stage, and MG has faced this situation twice. The last time was in the quarterfinals.
"Who won? Who won!" Zhen Tian kept her eyes tightly shut, unable to look at the scene on the big screen.
"This was truly thrilling! Look, MG has four players destroying the crystal, while the third is still on their way. Meanwhile, look at the opposing YC team; their full squad is clearly moving faster. It seems this game is already decided... Congratulations to YC..."
"No, Lu Lin from Team MG still has a powerful move up his sleeve. Three, two, one. Let's congratulate Team MG on winning this round. What a thrilling match! MG has caught up, and the score is now 2-3. PC still has the advantage in points. Let's see what happens in the next round..."
"We won, we won!" Zhen Tian gasped for breath, clutching her pounding chest.
"Take a deep breath." Ji Yuzhi helped her catch her breath, patting her back with his hand.
In the sixth game, MG gained the upper hand and successfully secured match point after half an hour.
The six games left both teams exhausted, and MG took the lead in resting at the stadium.
Just before leaving the stage, Lu Lin glanced solemnly at his sister below. Unexpectedly, he spotted many familiar faces among the countless figures.
