Chapter 189: Ascension to LPL card treatment, Reaper famous all over the world
“——GG!”
“Congratulations to SKT! 3:0 RNG, successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the 2016 Global Finals! Got the gateway to new york The first ticket!”
“Nothing can illustrate the problem better than this score, SKT... They will face their opponents in the semi-finals and challenge for their third S championship trophy! ”
Chicago Playhouse.
The heat wave seemed to turn into substance. At the moment when the RNG crystal base exploded, it gathered into a huge wave and swept over everyone.
The commentators and audiences in major competition areas around the world were sighing and screaming, the supporters were waving excitedly, and the losers were dejected.
What’s more, several young ladies from the LPL competition in the front row had red eyes, covering their faces and not daring to look at the stage camera.
Everyone in SKT took off their sound-isolating headphones and gave each other excited high-fives and hugs.
The top eight BO5 opponents are three to zero. This score is reasonable but unexpected. We have advanced to the semi-finals. We are only two BO5s away from the S competition trophy. It is inevitable to be excited.
"Ah... this is the taste of victory, but unfortunately, I have already tasted it."
Every time it comes to such a moment of sanctification in front of people, Pei Junzhi can't help but pretend, and this time is no exception.
Chen Yiqiu, Li Sanghyuk and others did not disturb him. Although he had the "assistance" of Mata Windspeaker Zyra in the third game, Pei Junzhi's personal ability was beyond doubt and he almost pinned Uzi to the ground and rubbed him repeatedly.
He has become the strongest priest.
“Let’s go.”
After a simple celebration, everyone in SKT walked out of the competition room, greeted by the cheers of tens of thousands of people, and walked into the RNG competition room next door.
At this moment, RNG competition room.
The atmosphere was silent and depressing, and the faces of the five RNG players wearing yellow subtitles were full of confusion and sadness.
The former is more, because they thought they would lose, but they did not expect to be defeated by SKT zero to three.
This achievement was so dazzling that it made their faces turn red and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Especially, after seeing Chen Yiqiu in red clothes and silver hair, who came to shake hands, everyone who had been familiar with Chen Yiqiu or not familiar with him, despised or had no feelings for him, had extremely complicated emotions.
A year of time, a year of hard work, just ended like this...
This year is the quarterfinals again...it is also the first quarterfinals for some of them.
Xiaohu and Xiangguo suddenly felt relaxed. They relaxed briefly after the heavy pressure. Looking at Chen Yiqiu walking towards them, Xiaohu said insincerely: "Yiqiu, you played really well today... Good luck in the semifinals."< br>
Xiang Guo’s yin and yang aura has a bit of sincerity and a very strange ‘emotion’: “Come on, I hope you can become the first LPL player to win the S championship.”
Well, the previous LPL players were also from the LPL region.
In this era of LPL’s darkest moment, in this era of extravagant hopes that no one in the LPL can even dream of winning the S Championship, if Chen Yiqiu wins the championship this year, perhaps the official will force a relationship with him... After all, this is There is nothing wrong with the Chinese winning the championship!
‘I just don’t know... will he be a teammate next year? It shouldn't be possible, but it might be a player from the same division? ’
Looking at Chen Yiqiu’s retreating back, Xiangguo made random guesses and suppressed the grief and sadness in his heart.
Next... they will withdraw from the stage of the S competition. All glory and honor belong to SKT.
...
"How does it feel to eliminate RNG this time with your own hands, again in the World Championship?"
On the way backstage, Pei Junzhi asked Chen Yiqiu about his "winning speech" as usual.
"Hmm...I don't feel anything."
Chen Yiqiu answered truthfully: "Actually, before MSI, I really wanted to prove myself, but after that...I think it's not necessary."
"After all, we won the championship."
"That's right."
Lee Sang Hyuk suddenly interjected: "Yiqiu is a person who will become a great player, RNG is not in his eyes Special, just an ordinary opponent."
"They are only the top eight, but we have the possibility of winning the world championship."
"Well..."
< br>
"As expected of you, Sang Hyuk."
Li Zaiwan gave a thumbs up when he heard it.
The outside world thinks that the Big Devil is very humble. In fact, Brother Li really speaks less and makes less mistakes in front of the camera, Master Duan Shui.
But in private, the other party is an out-and-out ‘Crazy Xiao He’.
It is true that pride and introversion are played clearly.
"Okay, okay...I don't care about these great players and champions. In fact, that's all. I just want a vacation now, a vacation! A vacation!"
Bae Junzhi emphasized three times, and then shouted: "Zhixuan , my Zhixuan, here I come!”< br>
“I don’t know if the club will give bonuses for advancing to the semi-finals this time. It’s time to buy some snacks later.”
Li Zaiwan muttered, and turned back to ask Li Sang Hyuk, Chen Yi Qiu and others, and asked them Is there anything you want to eat?
In this way, the group returned to the backstage and received enthusiastic cheers and praises from Kkoma and others.
After a brief rest, the MVP was awarded. Chen Yiqiu won today's three MVPs and the MVP of the entire BO5.
Three games, three heroes that have never been used before, this is SKT's attitude towards BO5, and it is also the proof that Chen Yiqiu amazing the world.
Looking at the high-spirited young man in red clothes and silver hair on the big TV in the lounge, Kkoma sincerely praised: "Yiqiu, after tonight, you will be the biggest protagonist of this S competition."
"This year's S game will be the stage for you to take off."
Chen Yiqiu said awkwardly: "Coach, you don't have to be so good."
"What do you mean by the second grade? It's a convention, okay."
Kkoma was not happy, and told everyone: "Every year in the S competition, until now, there will be an officially recognized protagonist, S3 is Sang Hyuk, and S4 is Samsung. Two teams, S5 is Marin, S6...maybe you."
Like TheShy in S8?
Chen Yiqiu smiled and said nothing.
At this time, the post-match interview invitation was sent.
Not surprisingly, Chen Yiqiu was invited to the LPL interview booth.
At this moment, even if LPL is extremely sad, they will not miss the opportunity to get close to Reaper.
After all, SKT has advanced to the semi-finals and is a team that has a real chance of winning the world championship.
Moreover, as a Chinese, Chen Yiqiu may become the first LPL player in history to win the S tournament trophy.
“Let’s go, be careful not to get beaten.”
"Yiqiu, you have to pay attention. I just looked at the LPL host girls in the audience and they were crying... Well, the pear blossoms are raining, but you must be careful. When things don't work, just shout and the brothers will come to support you immediately."< br>
Pei Junzhi showed his cultural heritage, and at the same time he was invited to the North American interview seat, right next to Chen Yiqiu.
"...Say less."
Chen Yiqiu was speechless.
Originally, he didn't feel it. After all, it was not like he had defeated and eliminated RNG before.
But now when I hear my teammates say this, I feel a little guilty.
This is the S competition...it's different from before.
There won’t really be an accident, right?
But in comparison, the one who should be more worried about not being able to leave the venue should be Mata, right?
In this life-and-death situation, Zyra, the wind whisperer, will at least double her worth next year. She will be marked as a black spot for life. She is probably crying.
With this diversion of attention, Chen Yiqiu came to the LPL interview seat at the front desk.
The person interviewing him this time is LPL host Yu Shuang.
When they met again, Chen Yiqiu could tell that Yu Shuang had put on makeup temporarily, but he still couldn't hide the traces of crying before.
My eyes were red, and the tip of my nose was also red.
When he greeted Chen Yiqiu, he had a strong nasal voice.
Hmm... It seems like this is the real emperor.
No, not necessarily, Yu Shuang now truly loves LPL.
We didn’t communicate much in private. When the camera was given and the director announced, Yu Shuang forced a smile on her face and asked with tears still rolling in her eyes: "Welcome to the post-game interview, we invite It’s… SKT’s top laner Reaper.”
“Reaper, say hello to everyone.”
“Hello everyone, I’m SKT’s top laner Reaper.”
Chen Yiqiu simply said hello.
The audience immediately burst into cheers and screams.
“Ahhh!!”
“Reaper! Reaper!!”
“TOPNO1! TOPNO1!”
After all, it is still a foreign country, and there are not many supporters in the LPL scene, so the reaction on the scene is extremely fierce. Only a small number of LPL spectators have dull faces, and they have not yet recovered from the cruel result of RNG being eliminated from the top eight.
Yu Shuang paused before continuing: "Well, first of all, congratulations...congratulations to SKT for advancing to the semifinals."
"In these three BO5 games, the Reaper players used completely different methods. The three heroes are also the ones that have not been seen in previous games. Have you ever taken out a hero? I would like to ask, have you prepared in advance?”
Chen Yiqiu nodded: “For BO5, we have been preparing very seriously, so before the start of today’s game, there were some preparations. Several sets of tactical BP." Yu Shuang was in a daze after hearing this.
Yes, LCK, or SKT is so strong, and they are prepared every time in BO5.
Actually it’s not just BO5 this time.
As an 'insider' who has followed SKT throughout this year, Yu Shuang clearly remembers that throughout this year, whether SKT was in the spring finals, MSI, or the current S game, every key game , there will be something new and eye-catching.
Looking at the LPL again, before the start of this year's S-League, they were still playing the big tree system. EDG even directly used the big tree system to dominate the summer split, achieving an unprecedented sixteen-game winning streak.
Did they really lose in terms of strength?
Maybe...it's more about attitude.
Yu Shuang looked at the young man in front of him who was a head taller than himself, wearing red clothes and silver hair. He was the leader and core of these new things.
"In the second game, your vampire had a very eye-catching... performance. There were several 1V5 team battles in the middle and late stages, with three in and three out, which shocked many people... At that time, you What do you think? How dare you be there with five people on the opposite side? How can I fight back alone?"
Chen Yiqiu seemed to hear the helplessness and grievance in Yu Shuang's tone. It was obvious that she didn't want to ask these questions, because she just slapped someone in the face. To rub salt into other people's wounds, he even stepped on them.
He is also a tool controlled by the official.
Chen Yiqiu said with a smile: "I don't think there is a necessary connection between whether the opponent has more or less people and whether to fight back or not. At any time, as long as there is a chance, I will choose to fight."
"And...because they They kept hitting me. For example, there was a wave of robots that hooked me, and they kept hitting me. I had no choice but to hit me back."
"Uh..."
The previous sentence was quite normal. But when they heard Chen Yiqiu's last words, everyone was slightly startled.
Yu Shuang next to her was also slightly confused.
They kept hitting me, and I hit them back.
What kind of answer is this?
Having really advanced to the semi-finals, will Chen Sheng start to work hard?
How can it be embarrassing for everyone in RNG who has not left the stage to hear such words?
“Ah...Reaper players are really humorous.”
Yu Shuang's smile became harder, and then she felt a little emotional. This was her question as a witness to the feud between Chen Yiqiu and RNG this year: "Now I finally eliminated RNG in the S game, with a score of three to zero. Elimination.”
“This is a surprise. Are you satisfied with the result?"
Chen Yiqiu paused and said: "With our current strength, even if we repeat it a hundred times, it will be three to zero."
< br>“……”
“Hmm.”
"Ahhhh!!"
"SKT! SKT!"
"I'm super! Crazy!"
"Handsome!! This is what leader Chen should have Isn’t it normal for all of you at RNG to betray me and be wiped out three to zero?”
There was a riot in the audience and the barrage.
What Chen Yiqiu said is not crazy, but combined with SKT's current strength and the eight captures of RNG this year.
I can only say that it is reasonable and convincing.
Yu Shuang couldn't help but shook her head along with her and asked the last question: "In the next quarter-finals, your opponents in this year's semi-finals will be competed. For EDG and ROX, Which team are you more optimistic about advancing to the semi-finals? "
Chen Yiqiu said: "Although I personally hope it is EDG, um... but I think ROX has a higher winning rate."
Off the court. The applause continued and the post-match interview ended.
Yu Shuang's heart trembled because of Chen Yiqiu's last answer.
I really hope that EDG advances to the semi-finals... Could it be that as S6 comes to an end, Reaper has become closer to the LPL division?
Are you considering your own 'escape', or are you just looking for money in vain?
Therefore, after the post-match interview, Yu Shuang could not help but trot to Chen Yiqiu's side and asked hopefully: "Reaper, I'm sorry... Although this question is very personal, I still want to ask you... Do you have a favorite competition region next season? "
The words are polite, but I am looking forward to it.
——She is no longer the young host she was during MSI. After more than half a year, now, she has clearly understood what Reaper means to the current LPL.
In terms of the opponent's status and influence in the outside world and around the world after today's end, this is a true superstar player.
A superstar with both good character and good character has never appeared in the LPL region.
It’s hard to imagine what would happen if Chen Yiqiu represented the LPL division and team at this moment, based on his performance in this year’s S6...
Unifying the bar and public opinion is just around the corner!
"Uh..."
Chen Yiqiu didn't know what Yu Shuang was thinking, but he was indeed taken aback by the other party's 'suddenness'.
Did the LPL official ask specifically?
That's not right...did I just make her misunderstand something?
After thinking about it, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Well... I said before that I prefer EDG to advance because EDG... is better to play, so... I'm sorry, my teammate is here. ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Sang Hyuk, who had a green face and stared at him and Yu Shuang seriously.
Quickly walked over: "Have you finished the interview?"
"Well, what did you say in private just now?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I was just Misunderstanding.”
Chen Yiqiu did not explain in detail.
However, Lee Sang Hyuk had a serious face, staring at the confused Yu Shuang not far away like a thief, and then pulled Chen Yiqiu to educate him: "Is the LPL host beautiful?"
"No matter how beautiful, I have Jin Min as my host, and you are also an idol in a girl group? Like, Yi Qiu, don’t be blinded by the prosperity. Now is the quarter-finals, and the subsequent semi-finals and finals are your stage..."
"Okay, okay, you Xu Xu What are you talking about?"
Chen Yiqiu waved his hands impatiently.
The two of them walked further and further away, and their voices gradually disappeared.
Yu Shuang, whose face was flushed with embarrassment, was left in a daze, at a loss.
I hope EDG will advance because EDG is better... I really have you, Chen Chu! !
......
"I want him!"
In China, it was still morning, Chen Yiqiu responded to Yu Shuang's words in the post-match interview, "Even if I do it a hundred times, We will also win" interview clips went viral in major media forums.
The terrifying traffic has initially erupted, and Huya’s boss can no longer sit still.
Yes, today he personally watched the top eight BO5, which has the most traffic at the end of the year, and then...
He became a Reaper fan.
And not for these personal feelings, just for this traffic, he must get SKT's live broadcast contract.
More than half of the S game is now underway, and for SKT, there is only one or two BO5s left to end.
Regardless of whether Reaper wins this year or not, he has become a veritable superstar and a world-class player. He is only stronger than the so-called LPL players like Director Zhen.
And once they win the championship, it will be even more amazing. A Chinese player will win the S Cup. In this darkest moment, do you dare to think?
"I heard that their previous live broadcast platform contract has expired. After this year's S competition, we have a good chance to get it."
The vice president next to him nodded in approval: "Of course, the premise is Only if we can give a sufficient price...and SKT has always been live broadcasting simultaneously around the world, it may be Mouse Channel anchor is not necessarily the same."
"No, no, no, Reaper is different. He is Chinese, and China is the country with the highest popularity of LOL players. He has unique 'conditions' and it is absolutely possible. Sign another live broadcast contract, and the home court will be at our Huya ”
The boss's business thinking is flexible: "We can now contact SKT... and him in advance, mainly himself, because his contract with SKT is only for one year, and where to broadcast next year mainly depends on his personal intention..."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The vice president nodded quickly.
“Be careful, you must show ‘sincerity’.”
The boss warned: “If it doesn’t work, it’s not impossible to give a signing fee that breaks the market price...”
"Look no further, what if he can't win the championship?"
"Winning the championship may be higher, but if he doesn't win the championship, I think after today, he is worth the price..."
"...Okay."
The vice president nodded, sighing in his heart.
In 2016, the most terrifying year of the live broadcast bubble, the highest signing fee in the market once reached more than 10 million.
And breaking the record...that means that after today, Chen Yiqiu will earn more than 10 million in income from the live broadcast signing fee alone.
That’s it, do you dare to say that RNG is not Chen Yiqiu’s ‘elite’?
One game will give you millions of wealth.
As expected of my old employer, it’s so awesome!
……
Meanwhile, on the other side, it's official.
Jin Yibo looked at his deputy with a tired face: "Now...how is the public opinion outside?"
The deputy was silent for a moment and replied: "I can't control it anymore...it exploded."< br>
