Chapter 12012 Champion
The finals were held at the North City Sports Center, which was quite remote and took half an hour to get there by taxi from the station.
Xu Tingwan was putting on makeup in front of the mirror. Lin Leqi beside her was holding a handheld mirror for her and looking at her with a half-smile.
Xu Tingwan raised his eyes and walked around the mirror to look at her. Seeing her shifty look, he couldn't help but laugh. "Lin Leqi, if you have eye problems, go get treatment."
Lin Leqi leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen you so excited."
"Affectionate? I prefer the first love."
"People only fall in love for the first time at sixteen."
"Do you think I look like a 26-year-old?"
Lin Leqi looked her up and down, and finally shook his head. It was indeed not like that.
Xu Tingwan was dressed very exquisitely today. She usually mixed and matched suits and shirts for work. She only wore a few pieces of clothing, with monotonous colors and simple styles. Lin Leqi found it boring after seeing them for a long time.
But her everyday clothes are colorful, which makes her stand out in the crowd, and this is also the case today.
She wore a beige tank top and dark blue jeans with a red jacket on the outside that matched the red belt on the jeans. Her black hair was tied into a high bun with a red hairband with a circle of lace around it. Her makeup was much heavier than usual. Her almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised, and she was unconsciously charming when she looked up. She also wore earrings with stars and moons on her earlobes, and she looked bright and flamboyant.
She likes brightly colored clothes, while Lin Leqi prefers plain colors, like the plain dress she is wearing today.
Lin Leqi looked at her and suddenly remembered something. He asked, "Do you remember Chen Bing, the boy who pursued you in high school?"
Chen Bing wasn't in the same class as them; they were in Class 1, and Chen Bing was in Class 8. If we were to choose the most prominent of Xu Tingwan's suitors, it would be him. He was a wealthy second-generation, with average looks, though a bit immature.
Xu Tingwan brushed her eyelashes and replied, "I know, what's wrong?"
"That day he came to our class to confess his love for you. That scene, that momentum..."
Xu Tingwan immediately interrupted her, "Stop, stop, stop. Even now I feel awkward when I think about that scene. He's really amazing to be able to turn a classroom into a couple's suite in one night."
Listening to Lin Leqi's uncontrollable laughter, Xu Tingwan said speechlessly, "You know what? That was how you laughed at that time."
"Who wouldn't find this funny? And you ended up beating him up."
That morning, Xu Tingwan arrived at school and found a group of people gathered outside the classroom when she reached the door. Her right eyelid twitched violently, and when she walked over to take a look, she almost fainted.
When Chen Bing saw her coming with roses, he was about to give them to her. Xu Tingwan was so scared that she dropped the schoolbag on her shoulder on him.
At that time, she didn't know what was happening in the classroom. When she saw Lin Leqi winking at her to look at the classroom, she was still confused. She walked around the crowd and stood at the door. After just one look, she turned around and started beating Chen Bing.
As soon as she took a step, she was pulled away by Lin Leqi. Hearing her laughter, she knew that this matter would not end with her.
"How did Chen Bing describe us later?"
Xu Tingwan blinked at the mirror, "Silent stubborn donkey, crazy weakling."
“…”
Lin Leqi was laughing so hard that the handheld mirror was shaking. She took it and used it to look at herself. She put it away when she was satisfied. "Even when people scolded you, you still smiled so happily."
Lin Leqi hung on her, "I think what he said is indeed right."
Xu Tingwan's eyes have a sense of alienation, but she is extremely lively and optimistic, but it depends on the person. Every time Chen Bing comes to see her, she will say the most heartbreaking words in a concise manner, and Lin Leqi will deliberately smooth things over in order to create a good atmosphere.
Outside the venue, Xu Tingwan's palms were sweating. She rolled up her sleeves and said to Lin Leqi, "Lin Leqi, haven't you been learning about tarot cards lately? Tell me... How's WG's fortune today?"
Lin Leqi stopped and looked at her. "A staunch materialist also believes in my half-baked metaphysics?"
“…”
*
She and Lin Leqi's seats were in the third row in the inner field. When the players sat down, the direction of WG was facing Xu Tingwan.
She leaned her head against the wall and watched Chi Du fiddling with his headphones for a long time without making any move. Lin Leqi followed her gaze and curled her lips helplessly, "Haven't you seen enough at home?"
Xu Tingwan: "How can I ever get enough of this? I wish he was around me every day."
Lin Leqi: "The sour smell of love..."
Xu Tingwan smiled innocently, "It's not smelly, it smells good."
Lin Leqi: “…”
The finals was a BO7 format, just like the playoffs. Xu Tingwan looked at the screen and analyzed the lineup with Lin Leqi, but Lin Leqi spoke more.
"I think WG is not easy to beat. Although it's okay as long as the lineup doesn't collapse in the early stage, but what if something unexpected happens?" Lin Leqi leaned back and said nonchalantly.
Xu Tingwan: “…”
Xu Tingwan naturally didn't believe it. He sat upright and watched the whole game. It was indeed TNG that won this game. They were severely suppressed in the early stage and didn't give WG any time to breathe before they were directly wiped out.
She looked at Lin Leqi resentfully, but Lin Leqi shrugged, "I told you... this is only the first game, don't be impatient, WG might even play a trick..."
In the second game, both sides had average lineups, with WG's jungle core facing TNG's tank and jungle. This was a tank-jungle version, but WG still chose to trust Mirari's Jing. They were slightly disadvantaged in the early game, but a team fight broke out in WG's jungle at ten minutes into the middle game. Jing made a top-level move and went around to cut off the double Cs, and WG won the team fight with a 2 for 5 trade.
Then the economic snowball kept growing. In the later period, TNG's lineup was weak and they were wiped out by WG for the second time and the crystal was pushed down.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and Xu Tingwan also clapped Lin Leqi's hands excitedly.
…
There was no cliff-like suppression later. Both sides were extremely cautious in the BP of the finals, and the final 3:3 tie brought the game into a peak showdown.
The moment the music started, Xu Tingwan's mind unconsciously emerged with the spring of this year. It was also the same. WG dragged the game into a peak showdown with a score of 3:3, but he also fell in the peak showdown.
The lights flickered and Xu Tingwan's eyes blurred. She looked at the five members of WG who were still smiling, and she couldn't help but smile slowly.
Will win.
The moment the lineup was announced, there were exclamations from the audience.
The jungler Jing is against Xiahou Dun, the shooter Gongsun Li is against Sun Shangxiang, the counterattack Charlotte is against Charlotte, the support Taiyi is against Taiyi, and the mid laner Shen Mengxi is against Shen Mengxi.
The battle between the jungler and the tank, and the battle between the shooters.
The screen cuts to the game. In the early stage, WG's kill ratio is behind, but they are slightly better than TNG in terms of line management and operations. At this time, the difference between newcomers and veterans is revealed. Newcomers will go forward without hesitation, while veterans will think twice before acting. Moreover, they are a five-man team that has entered the finals so many times. They are more calm and try their best to avoid fighting and develop, waiting for their advantageous period.
In the first ten minutes of the dragon fight, a small team fight broke out. With the previous lesson, TNG had been looking for Jing's position. They would not fight without Jing. The moment Jing showed up, TNG made a quick decision. The auxiliary flashed to start a team fight and hit the WG mid laner. A wave of concentrated fire killed him and he lost the point.
WG did not retreat at all. Jing used Shadow's ultimate to enter the field to grab the dragon and kill the mid laner in seconds. Seeing that they had a good position, the other three quickly followed the team. Gongsun Li's fierce output in the back killed the opponent's support. TNG retreated urgently. WG did not want to chase them and directly entered TNG's wild area to expand their advantage.
The audience screamed one after another, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax with the passionate commentary.
Xu Tingwan's heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest. She clenched her hands and stared at the screen.
It will definitely work...
At 17 minutes, WG pushed onto TNG's middle high ground, and when they tried to retreat to get the dragon, TNG counterattacked them. Xiahou Dun used his ultimate to lock Gongsun Li, and the people behind him followed up and killed Gongsun Li's resurrection armor in seconds. At this time, Charlotte flashed in to help Gongsun Li break up the group, and Jing seized the opportunity to kill Sun Shangxiang in seconds.
Seeing that their shooter was attacked, TNG was about to retreat to the crystal. WG pressed on step by step and did not intend to give them time to breathe. There was a line of soldiers in the middle lane, and WG chose to attack them first and then attack the crystal. In the end, they were wiped out in a five-for-five exchange.
"WG fought a near-perfect teamfight, exchanging one for five to wipe out TNG. They've already started attacking the crystal with the mid laners. The winner of the KPL Summer Split has been decided. Let us congratulate WG on becoming the champions of the KPL Summer Split Finals!"
The screen cut to a scene of a crystal exploding, followed by a shot of the five-member WG team huddled together, shouting and cheering. The commentary mingled with the audience's joyful screams, and the atmosphere was high.
"One day the sleeping dragon will finally get rain, today the crane is released and soaring into the sky. Don't worry about the thousand-mile journey, the wind will come naturally. Who says that old generals can't be brilliant? The blue sky is vast and the rain is falling in the north today, and you and I, the young man, will soar in the sky!"
The moment the golden rain fell, Xu Tingwan grabbed Lin Leqi's hand and started screaming—
"We are the champions! We are the champions! WG! WG! WG!"
It’s a familiar scene. This time we are no longer witnesses, but the protagonists of this arena. Everyone will witness our glory.
Xu Tingwan caught a piece of falling golden rain and stared at the gold in her palm. She raised her head and looked through the crowd at the young man on the stage who was laughing wildly.
This time the championship trophy belongs to WG, and summer is no longer a regret for you, but a medal that you can still be proud of after many years.
