Chapter 133
Not to mention the commentators and the audience, even the DL staff themselves were a little bit in disbelief. Although their players were indeed strong enough to not lose a single game, the fact that they hadn't lost a single game was still a bit shocking.
The next day, Le Anyi looked at EKN on screen as they prepared to play against Ysoo and said, "What should I do? I'm so nervous. What if EKN suddenly pulls off an upset and gets beaten by Coconut Su? Wouldn't that mean the championship is so close to us?"
He Weichen: "You'll live in fantasy for the rest of your life."
Le Anyi: "Hey! What if!"
He Weichen: "If EKN loses more than one hand, I'll take it."
Le Anyi saw Lyra's appearance on the screen and couldn't help but sigh, "Why is this person so arrogant?"
Lyra always has an attitude of being the best in the world. When she speaks, she is a bit bad and stupid, but when she is silent, she has an expressionless and cool look.
If Le Anyi hadn't known a little about this person's stupid nature through their Xingxing, he would definitely want to rush up and beat him up when he saw him like this.
But now I really want to beat him up.
Le Anyi changed his tone and said, "Let's not leave. I want to see this guy cry when he gets beaten by Xing Xing."
"Isn't it, the stars?" Le Anyi said, turning around.
The stars are not there.
Anyway, he is not next to Ling Yin.
?
Le Anyi turned his head and saw that Qu Xing was still studying UNG's lineup with the coaching staff.
Tsk.
Le Anyi suddenly felt a little guilty—he should stop being so cocky. He thought winning the game was easy, but it was actually because Xingxing had done so much for them. How could he be so cocky when Xingxing hadn't even gotten cocky yet?
"Alas," Le Anyi sighed, "It's really not easy to get here."
He Weichen: “?”
The way EKN wins the game is actually more terrifying than DL.
After all, these five players are practically unmatched in terms of physical prowess; otherwise, they wouldn't be called the All-Gods Team. When Le Anyi faces off against their top laner, Void, he feels similar to Anvy, often being inexplicably suppressed. Their support also has a different style from Jiang Lin, being steady and decisive, though not as demanding as Jiang Lin, who sometimes relies on AD support for protection. The mid-jungle synergy is also flawless.
In short, the EKN team looks like the standard answer to a perfect team, and everyone does what they are supposed to do to the extreme.
There is really no reason for a team like this to lose.
After watching their match, Le Anyi lost his composure even more, seemingly transported back to the tense atmosphere of previous World Championships. "Oh my god, what should I do? The draw is the day after tomorrow, holy shit... We've never beaten EKN at Worlds, holy shit..."
There are eight teams in four groups. After all the matches are over, four teams will advance to the semi-finals, namely EKN, UNG, DL, and one team from the European region.
It's time to draw lots again.
At this point, even if they were on a strong run, the shadow of their past against EKN inevitably loomed. After all, they had reached the finals with great momentum before—though not as dramatic as this time—and still found it difficult to move forward when facing EKN.
If they were a little more timid - or to put it nicely, more cautious - it would be best if UNG and EKN were paired together. This way, at the end of the semi-finals, at least one of the two major rivals would be eliminated, and DL would be closer to the world championship.
At least that’s what Zhou Si thought.
He was holding a cigarette, staring intently at the screen, smoking UNG's opponent.
Le Anyi closed his eyes and muttered: "EKN, EKN, EKN..."
“…”
"How is it? Did you get it?" Le Anyi said.
Zhou Si took the cigarette out of his mouth with trembling hands. The cigarette was unlit, but there was a circle of teeth marks on it. "No," he said.
He Weichen said angrily, "I know it's UNG! How long is he going to hold up this piece of paper?"
“…”
Le Anyi closed his eyes and shook his legs: "Did you get it?"
Zhou Si put the cigarette back into his mouth, bit it, and chewed it twice: "...No."
He Weichen: "Fuck! I'm really impressed by why he walks so slowly."
“…”
He Weichen: "What's so great about a broken ball?! Hurry up and open it, damn it!"
Le Anyi: "Is it open? Is it open?"
“…”
No one answered.
Le Anyi thought that it hadn't been opened yet, so he closed his eyes and continued to wait: "I want to pee!"
He Weichen suddenly took a deep breath, too nervous to speak loudly, and said faintly, "It's open."
"Holy shit!" Le Anyi clasped his hands tightly. "Who? Who? Who? EKNEKNEKNEKN, ahh ...
“…”
“Ah!!!” Jiang Lin screamed and fell back: “No!!!!!!”
“…”
Jiang Lin suddenly launched himself upwards, then fell back, looking up to the sky and yelling, "No!!!!!!!!!!"
“…”
“Why us again!!!!!!!”
DL vs. EKN.
Qu Xing felt that this scene was very familiar.
Last year, around this time, Qu Xing also watched the draw. He hadn't joined DL yet, but he really wanted them to win—or at least make it to the finals. He also silently prayed that UNG would draw EKN first.
The result was that DL drew EKN, and then what he saw in the venue was that DL fought for five games, most of which were extremely difficult, and finally ended their journey in the World Championship.
I didn’t expect that this time I was watching it with these four teammates in the hotel, and we got the same result.
I wonder if these people were also shouting like this in a place where he couldn't see them.
The mysterious God of Wind at that time actually became his boyfriend?
So magical.
Zhou Si made a "Puh" sound, exhaled the cigarette butt in his mouth, and let out a long breath. He comforted him, "It's okay! Just fight if you get the draw. Do what you need to do. Don't think so intimidating of EKN. Didn't we win MSI once?"
Yes, they have won, but such an extreme comeback is rare in the entire history of the league.
As for the rest, they have never won in any big or small competitions before, even those that were more entertaining.
"Your expressions are so ugly." Qu Xing suddenly said softly.
Le Anyi came back to his senses.
"It's so disgusting, like crying at a funeral." Qu Xing said.
Le Anyi: “…I’m sorry?”
"Let's train." Qu Xing rubbed his head, then picked up Ling Yin's hand and rubbed it, then sat down to train.
The first team to play in the semifinals was UNG.
Five days later, UNG won 3-1 amidst the cheers of the crowd and successfully advanced to the finals. The same question arose again:
If DL can win, then the majority of LPL fans can celebrate in advance. There will be the first LPL civil war in the S finals, and LPL will be the champion.
The online discussion is currently divided into several camps. Some, after two years of being beaten by EKN, can no longer believe it and think that there is no need to celebrate such a thing. They think that EKN will still defeat DL and then UNG to win the third consecutive championship.
There are also those who are completely immersed in DL's fierce momentum this year and have lived for a long time with the belief that DL will beat everyone, and this faction is evenly matched with the EKN faction.
There is also a group of people who think that UNG is the protagonist of this year and luck is on their side, because they seem to be getting stronger with every step they take over the past year, just like the protagonist in a novel who fights monsters and levels up, which is really inspiring.
In fact, there is a group of people who are firm Dazzlings and do not participate in the discussion of who will win the championship. It is as if they have received some kind of guidance and have calmly implanted the result in their brains. These people are discussing how to reward Dazzling after winning the championship.
In fact, what they said were all lies to satisfy their own selfish desires - "Reward him by letting him sleep at my house", "Reward him by letting me kiss him to death" and so on.
Ling Yin also participated in this discussion. If there are any rewards in Dazzling Super Topic, he will complete them for the fans.
"Then this, '24-hour non-stop spiral invincible explosive starry-eyed rainbow fart flattery', are you going to do it for them too?" Qu Xing asked while nestling in Ling Yin's arms at night, holding his phone.
Ling Yin looked at him amusedly.
Qu Xingxian used his starry eyes to look up at him, "Really?"
Ling Yin smiled: "Yeah."
"And this..." Qu Xing continued to flip through the pages. Just as he was about to speak, Ling Yin came over and kissed him.
Qu Xing instantly discarded those "rewards" and kissed him, pressing in close. He was held tightly in his arms, his phone falling from his hand. His free hand caressed Ling Yin's head, stroking from the back of his hair to the side of his face, past his ears to his neck, and finally to his favorite spot, his collarbone. Ling Yin pulled his hand away, holding his unruly hand tightly.
"Tomorrow we're going to play EKN. Do you want to fight while standing?" Ling Yin asked.
Qu Xing was shocked: "You can get hard just by touching your collarbone!"
Ling Yin: "How many places have you touched?"
Qu Xing: "I didn't go down..."
Ling Yin bit his mouth.
Qu Xing: “Mmmmm…”
Qu Xing patted his face gently.
Ling Yin let go.
Qu Xing: "Just take care of your..."
Ling Yin raised an eyebrow.
Qu Xing: "Your..."
Ling Yin: "My what?"
Qu Xing closed his mouth, turned away with a red face and angrily looked at me.
Ling Yin heard him mutter, "What did you think of sleeping with me?"
Ling Yin looked at the back of his head - he didn't dare leave Xingxing, who would get anxious if she took a long shower, to sleep alone. If he forced her to sleep separately from him, it would be all over.
"I'll take good care of it." Ling Yin pulled the man back and said with a chuckle, "I promise not to..."
Qu Xing: "Ling Yin!"
Ling Yin shut up: "Oh."
There was silence for a while.
"Stars." Ling Yin said.
"Yeah." Qu Xing hugged him again, already feeling a little sleepy: "What's wrong, brother?"
"Please help me win it." Ling Yin said.
Qu Xing closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again and said, "Brother."
Ling Yin: “Yeah.”
Qu Xing: "I love you."
Ling Yin was a little slow to react: "...I love you too."
Qu Xing kissed him on the chest, put his arms around his neck, curled his lips slightly, and said slowly and softly: "As long as the four of you are not useless."
Ling Yin was stunned for half a second, then couldn't help laughing. He hugged her tightly and rubbed her head against his Xingxing's head: "No."
He was going to love this star.
At 5 pm the next day, the much-anticipated All-God Team EKN and the "Double God" Team DL were already in place.
These ten players were all well-known star players, and there were a few superstars. Putting the two team IDs together created a truly impressive effect.
What's more, these ten people have an extraordinary temperament just sitting there. This scene is so handsome that it can make people's blood boil even without considering winning or losing.
The EKN team uniform is also white, and unlike the DL team uniform with slightly modified dark purple patterns, half of their team uniform is embroidered with a bold black and gold geometric pattern, which extends from the front half to the entire back, and is heavily embroidered with a lifted crown.
Lan Feng looked at the footage the director presented and said with a hiss, "Qingyi, do you notice anything wrong with this footage?"
Qingyi: "Where?"
Lan Feng analyzed it seriously, "Listen to me. Usually, whenever EKN wears this jersey and sits next to a team, their presence instantly overwhelms them, obscuring the team nearby."
Qing Yi didn't expect this kind of analysis, but he still agreed thoughtfully: "Hmm..."
Lan Feng: "But today, look, look, look, wow, this momentum, evenly matched!"
Qingyi: "Because our DL team uniform is also very handsome. After I tried it on yesterday, I didn't want to take it off."
Lan Feng: "No."
Qingyi: "What's not?"
Lan Feng: "The DL uniform is cool, but it doesn't have the same domineering aura as the EKN uniform, so..."
Qingyi: "So what?"
Lan Feng: "So I think the evenly matched strength I saw must be due to the powerful aura emitted by certain people. You know, aura is a very mysterious thing."
Qingyi felt that the "certain people" he was referring to should be the young couple.
Indeed. Their commentary booth had a view of the stage. Looking toward EKN, they saw those five people, while looking toward DL, their attention was essentially focused on the two Cs. Their demeanor and looks were distinct from the others, on a completely different level. Their aura was incredibly strong.
Lan Feng concluded, "So, I think this indicates that today's match will be completely different from the past. We may no longer just see EKN's one-sided suppression."
Qing Yi: "Yes, I agree. And as we all know, the 'God' of the All-God and the 'God' of the Two-God are not the same concept."
Lan Feng: "So, let's see whether the god of all gods is more powerful, or the god of two gods is more powerful!"
Qingyi: "The game begins!"
