LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right?

After winning the game, all five members of Taobo were called in for an interview. All the four major competition regions participated, and the wild card region also came to join in the fun.

After the interview, everyone in Taobo went back to eat together and then reviewed the interview. After the review, everyone went back to their own rooms to rest.

Chen Yiqiu was lying on the bed looking at his mobile phone and entered the anti-stress bar to take a look.

I found that no one cared much about today's game, probably because it was too easy for Tao Bo.

Now everyone is discussing tomorrow's game with KZ.

[Whether KZ is strong or not, we will know tomorrow. I want to see what they are blowing all day long. 】

[It is very likely that it is for parallel imports. Really, I have this hunch. 】

[It’s hard to say. Anyway, KZ has some talent. Except for the bottom lane, which is a bit old, the rest are young. 】

[Tao Bo’s bot lane is also a young one, but he’s quite different. 】

[Taobo will definitely not be able to defeat the opponent in the bottom lane. Xuanming and Xuanming have tortured Bang and Wolf before. 】

[If the two elders Xuanming and Ming were taken separately, it would actually be like that. However, these two old guys have been playing together for so many years, and their tacit understanding is not comparable to that of a young combination. 】

At noon the next day, everyone in Taobo came to the restaurant for dinner. The competition was at two o'clock in the afternoon. They couldn't eat too much now, otherwise they would be sleepy by then. Eat a little and fill up their stomachs in the evening.

Jin Min, Zhao Enjing and I were waiting at the door of the restaurant as usual. The two of them had greeted Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk in advance.

After arriving at the restaurant, Chen Yiqiu found that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Just now at the door, I could still hear the commotion inside, with everyone eating and chatting.

But after coming in, it suddenly became quiet, and everyone was in good agreement.

Everyone in Taobo found a place to sit down and started ordering.

Jin Min and I were sitting next to Chen Yiqiu and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? The atmosphere feels wrong. Is it my misunderstanding?"

Chen Yiqiu shook his head: "It's not an illusion, I guess it's because of KZ."

"KZ?" Jin Min looked around, and soon she noticed everyone in KZ.

Sure enough, there was a feeling that there seemed to be an invisible and powerful aura between KZ and Taobo. The other teams were overwhelmed and did not want to be involved in this contest.

The two sides haven't played each other yet, so there's no telling who will have the last laugh, so the other teams have chosen not to take sides.

Jin Minga asked in a low voice: "Oppa, we should be able to win the afternoon game, right?"

Chen Yiqiu asked back: "Do you think we might lose?"

"No." Jin Minwo shook his head.

Chen Yiqiu responded: "So, we will win."

"Yeah, I believe you." Jin Minwo nodded repeatedly.

After eating, everyone in Taobo took a short rest and then went straight to the competition site.

In the lounge, Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and started to follow the news on the Internet as a kind of entertainment.

The popularity on the Internet is skyrocketing, and now the whole world is paying attention to this game.

Although it is a group stage, it seems that the final champion has been decided.

When Little Peanut saw Chen Yiqiu looking at his cell phone, he immediately came over and seemed very interested.

Chen Yiqiu asked: "What do you want to see? Can't you also see the intranet? You have to see mine."

Little Peanut said with a smile: "It's fun to watch it together, Brother Yiqiu."

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door of the lounge, and Li Zaiwan was seen walking in from the door.

As soon as he saw Li Zaiwan, Little Peanut became nervous, as if a mouse saw a cat.

However, this time Li Zaiwan did not come to him directly. After greeting everyone, he directly looked for Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong on the bottom lane.

I saw Li Zaiwan saying: "You two must win today. The two bottom laners in KZ are so disgusting. Pei Junzhi and I have suffered a lot at their hands before."

Little Peanut asked: "When were you talking about before? When they were in Dragon Ball?"

Li Zaiwan responded: "Yes, they have been playing together for so long. They have such a tacit understanding that it feels like they are playing alone. If you are not careful in the bottom lane, you will definitely suffer big losses."

Chen Yiqiu could see an obsession in Li Zaiwan. He really wanted someone to help torture KZ's bottom lane, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

So Chen Yiqiu asked: "Were you humiliated by them again in the spring competition? That made you react so big."

Hearing this, Little Peanut began to laugh: "That's for sure. I watched their game against KZ before. They couldn't beat them at all in the bottom lane, so forget it, because they can't beat the middle, top and jungle, and they have to be beaten in the bottom lane. Naka and Ueno come together to jump over various towers.”

"I remember one game, Li Zaiwan seemed to have died nine times, and he didn't get a single assist, let alone a kill."

Little Peanut laughed uproariously, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Wanghu, you!" Li Zaiwan just wanted to knock the little peanut to the ground with one punch.

Chen Yiqiu said: "You really need to be careful in the bottom lane. Their combination has something special, but there is no need to be too anxious. After all, it is a game of five people."

Chen Yiqiu's statement was very euphemistic, meaning that if you can't beat him, don't send him away, and wait for his teammates to come to help.

Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong can naturally understand it, but for them, this is not something to be happy about.

They had experienced special laning training before, and they trained together with Chen Yiqiu and Lee Sang Hyuk.

Isn't now the time to accept the results?

On the other side, at the game site, in the LPL commentary box, Wawa and Miller were ready.

Wawa explained: "The upcoming game is the third day of the group stage of the 2018 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational. The two teams are the new champions from the LPL region, Topbo, and the new champions from the LCK region, KZ."

Miller continued: "These two teams represent the highest level of the two regions at present. Let us look forward to their performance."

At the invitation of the host, the players from both sides came on stage.

The crowd was full of energy, and the voices cheering for the two teams were one after another:

"Topbo! Topbo! Topbo!"

"KZ! KZ! KZ!"

Wawa explained: "From the current expressions of the players on both sides, they should be relatively relaxed. Is this the calmness of the strong?"

Miller seemed to have discovered: "But not all ten people are calm. Why do I feel that Topbo's bottom lane seems a little nervous? I hope they can have a good performance. Compared with the beginning of the season, Topbo's bottom lane has actually made great progress in laning."

On the field, Chen Yiqiu glanced at KZ.

He found that the expressions of the KZ players were not right, as if they were too relaxed.

Although this game did not affect the promotion of the two teams, it would affect the ownership of the first place.

Whoever wins will have a better chance of getting the first place in the group stage. Of course, this first place actually has no substantial benefits, it just sounds better.

Doesn't KZ value this?

The players of both sides took their seats and started BP.

Hongmi and Yan Yan were ready. Because he had never played a training match with KZ, he didn't know if KZ had any cards in his hand, so he could only take it one step at a time.

However, after the BP was over, everyone in Topbo found that it seemed that KZ's BP was just so-so, a very regular set of BP, all heroes that other teams in this MSI often used.

Entering the game, everyone in Topbo thought that KZ would have any special arrangements.

It turned out that there was no, it was just a normal play.

KZ's advantage in the bottom lane was not as big as imagined, so it was a little bit more pressure.

In the end, Topbo relied on the advantage of the top lane to win the game relatively easily.

Although the game lasted more than 30 minutes, in Chen Yiqiu's opinion, Top Esports did not encounter any serious troubles, and the rhythm was in Top Esports' hands.

So the audience in the live broadcast room began to mock:

[KZ is just like this? Just this level? ]

[I feel that KZ is not good either, they are bragging all day long, I thought they were invincible. ]

[I don't know whether KZ is invincible or not, but on the Internet they have already won the championship for the next ten years. ]

[It's a big boast, this is a big boast. ]

[Didn't anyone notice that KZ seemed to be hiding something? ]

[Hidden something? Hidden until S9? ]

[Every year, the team that said they were hiding something ended up badly. ]

After winning the game, Top Esports accepted an interview and then returned to the lounge together.

Li Zaiwan was already waiting in the lounge. When he saw Top Esports come in, he followed Hongmi and Guo Hao to comfort them.

Hongmi stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. After we pass KZ, the rest of our games should be easy."

Guo Hao has already started to borrow the championship: "I'm thinking about what kind of celebration banquet to prepare for all the MSI champions to match this championship. Hahaha, this is the first time we have participated in an international competition since the establishment of Top Esports."

"Winning the championship for the first time, I feel that it is rare to see it in the history of the entire league."

Hearing this, everyone in Top Esports laughed. It must be said that although Guo Hao is not professional in the specific game content, he can provide emotional value.

For a manager, this is enough.

Many team managers don't even talk about providing emotional value. If they can avoid making trouble, it's considered that the players are lucky.

"You played well. I haven't seen KZ lose a game for a long time. It's really cool!" Li Zaiwan cheered. He looked so excited that people who didn't know him thought he was playing on it.

Peanut started to brag: "I feel like their CUZZ isn't that good either. They were bragging about a 14-year-old genius, the most talented jungler in LCK history."

Li Zaiwan and Peanut rarely agreed and laughed: "Hahaha? The most talented jungler? How could it be him? He's just bragging."

Just then Chen Yiqiu asked a serious question: "Who is the most talented jungler in LCK history? I don't think I've ever heard of this."

Hearing this, everyone was silent. Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong naturally didn't need to answer, as they had never played in LCK.

Chen Yiqiu looked at Lee Sang Hyuk: "Do you have any idea? You've been in LCK for so long?"

Lee Sang Hyuk glanced at Peanut.

The corners of Peanut's mouth rose, waiting for Lee Sang Hyuk's praise. Although he tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't control it. The honorary title of "the most talented jungler in LCK history" was too tempting. As long as you are a jungler, it is difficult to control your emotions.

As a result, Li Xianghe said: "Anyway, it's not Wanghu."

"Ah? Brother Xianghe, you!" Peanut almost vomited blood, how could this happen?

Li Zaiwan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "Hahaha, look at the way you were showing off just now, oh, I laughed to death, you don't really think Li Xianghe will say it's you."

Peanut shut himself up on the spot, turned away, hid in a dark corner and murmured: "Draw a circle to curse you..."

Guo Hao said, "Today is the only match. Let's celebrate after the match. The second round will start tomorrow. Let's celebrate a little, but we'll celebrate more after we win."

So, under the leadership of Guo Hao, the Topbo team left the lounge and prepared to go back for dinner.

However, in the corridor, the Topbo team met the entire KZ team who were about to leave.

The two teams met, and the originally smiling Li Zaiwan also quieted down. The atmosphere was not right.

Chen Yiqiu also observed KZ for a while, and he found a problem.

Although KZ lost the game now, it was not obvious how frustrated and disappointed KZ was.

It seemed that this kind of defeat was expected by them.

Was it because they had a good mentality, or did they know that they couldn't win and could accept the loss?

I don't understand, but it doesn't matter.

For Chen Yiqiu, as long as he played well, he didn't care about the situation of others.

After leaving the competition venue, the Topbo team found a place to eat.

"Why did you follow me? Are you from Top Esports?" Seeing that Li Zaiwan also followed him into the box, Xiao Huasheng took the initiative to attack.

Li Zaiwan was really embarrassed by Xiao Huasheng's words, although he was usually very thick-skinned.

But there were people like Hongmi and Guo Hao who he was not familiar with.

"It's okay, let's have a meal together, we are all friends." Guo Hao tried to smooth things over.

Li Zaiwan smiled, and he chose to take the initiative to sit next to Xiao Huasheng and said, "Then I'll sit here and chat with my old teammates."

"Woo! No, I want to sit with Brother Yiqiu!" Xiao Huasheng ran with the bowl, ran to Chen Yiqiu and sat down, begging Chen Yiqiu for protection.

While the waiter hadn't served the food yet, Chen Yiqiu took out his mobile phone and started playing. Now the friends in the anti-pressure bar are all optimistic:

[LCK is going to break down now. Not only was the female host poached by Top Esports, but their spring season champion was also beaten. ]

[This is losing both the wife and the army. ]

[Top Esports is getting more and more pleasing to the eye now, hahahaha. 】

【If LPL can have two more teams like Topbo, I dare not think about it, I will wake up laughing in my dreams. 】

【That's enough, there is only one Topbo in the world, do you want more? How dare you think so? 】

After the Topbo team finished their meal, they went back to review the game together and then rested.

The next three days will be the second round of the group stage.

The schedule of the second round is the opposite of the first round.

That means if Topbo plays KZ in the last game of the first round, then the first game of the second round will be against KZ.

Things went more smoothly than Topbo team imagined. They easily defeated KZ in 30 minutes, and there were no obstacles in the next two games. Topbo got an 8-0 record, and only the last two games were left.

These two games were not stressful for Topbo.

And KZ, even lost a game to FNC, and now lost three small games. Of course, this does not prevent them from entering the knockout stage.

So that night, someone came to find Chen Yiqiu.

He was playing with his mobile phone and preparing to go to bed.

"Dong Dong Dong!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Chen Yiqiu came to the door and opened it. It turned out to be Impact and the rest of TL. The whole team was there! (End of this chapter)
