Chapter 169 The championship belongs to one team, but there is only one FMVP!
"Let us congratulate EDG!"
Guan Zeyuan took a deep breath and shouted loudly when the crystal exploded!
A drumbeat with a distinct rhythm suddenly sounded at the scene, and all the Brazilian audience shouted loudly along with it. This was a unique local triumphal song to celebrate the return of the warriors in victory!
The spotlights on the ceiling are flashing, and dozens of dry ice nozzles are spraying wildly!
At this moment, cheers and shouts are mixed with drumbeats in the Brazilian Olympic Stadium, and the atmosphere is already boiling!
"Congratulations to EDG. They refused to let two chase three or drag the game into a decisive game. They swept the representative team from the LCK, SKT, with a record of 3 to 1!" Baby's voice was trembling, and tears flowed uncontrollably: "This is Their second MSI trophy in team history, but for us in the LPL, the impact is even more profound!”
"That's right!" Miller, who was used to seeing big scenes, was already choked up at this time: "The past two years have been so difficult. We lost three world championships: the S5 World Championship, the 2016 MSI, and the S6 World Championship. Tournament, not even a knockout round.”
Yes, for the LPL, which has always boasted of its second division and loves to call others European and American Laobi;
Two whole years, three world-class events, and not a single knockout win!
Even at this year's MSI, Riot Games ranked the LPL and LCK as the three major regions and did not need to participate in the play-in rounds. Many international teams also protested. They believed that North America's MSI runner-up result last year was not as good as the LPL's World Championship results. Difference.
LPL should be moved to the fourth division!
"But today! I think all the doubts about EDG and our LPL have disappeared!" Guan Zeyuan shouted angrily!
"Because! We are the champions!"
As soon as Li Mufan took off his headphones, the factory director next to him hugged him excitedly.
"Thank you, Brother Fan, thank you very much!" The factory director put his arm around Li Mufan's back and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted, and said in a relaxed tone.
Li Mufan knew what the factory director meant, because it was during this MSI and this BO5 that he finally broke through his inner demons and found himself.
The veteran director of the factory said that he has a good mentality and indeed he has a good attitude, but no one can remain indifferent to the overwhelming public opinion of '4396' and 'forehand and backhand' education last year.
This is the closest the factory director has ever come to retiring. If it hadn't been for the later stages of the Spring Split, when Ai Luoli gradually couldn't keep up with the increasingly intensifying pace of the game, he wouldn't have even planned to return to the game.
Fortunately, he persisted!
"This is your second MSI championship. Thank you for everything. I should thank you for bringing me here!" Li Mufan smiled and pulled the factory director up from his seat. He was not wrong. After all, the alliance is composed of five people. If it weren't for the director of the game, even if Li Mufan gets stronger as he plays, it would be difficult for him to lead EDG to the end of the spring split.
"Brothers!" Jack cheered and jumped up from his seat. He jumped on the spot twice and then pulled everyone together: "This is our common championship!"
"That's right! This is the championship for the five of us!" Li Mufan stretched out his palm, and everyone immediately overlapped it in understanding: "EDG will win!"
"Let's go! Shake hands!" Jack walked towards the SKT players' bench on the other side with a manly stride.
Scout fell behind and stood beside Li Mufan: "Brother Fan, you Lucian are too strong! How can you do combos so fast? Teach me!"
"Your rune doesn't have attack speed, right? If Lucian's rune doesn't have attack speed, the combo before the green cross comes out will be half a beat slower!"
Relying on his height, Li Mufan patted Scout's head and said with a smile: "This game not only has operations and consciousness, but many details have hidden parts left by the designer. It is impossible to discover these points without digging."
< br>
Just like when he faced RNG, he used Qinggangying's "one E and two stuns" under the tower. If it weren't for a lot of custom practice and exploration, who would have known that the second stage of Qinggangying's E skill [Wall Counter] turned out to be Does the ejection speed slow down significantly when facing a wall?
As his understanding of the game continued to deepen, Li Mufan discovered that the alliance designers were exactly what he said, "Designers teach you how to play games."
If you think along their lines, you can often find many designs similar to Easter eggs. For example, Lucian's six shots per second seems very simple. Just throw out the skill and insert a flat A in the middle. In fact, the attack speed has not reached the critical point. When shooting, it is often "six shots in two seconds". In actual combat, the effect is completely different.
Scout nodded secretly. He knew that since Li Mufan's score was high, he had trouble ranking in the morning and often used custom heroes to practice.
Originally, he was curious that customization would allow him to become familiar with hero operations, but for professional players, would they like to achieve too high an effect in customization? Scout thinks it’s impossible!
But after watching Li Mufan's performance of Lucian in this game, he felt that he needed to pay attention to the role of custom mode.
During the chat, everyone had already walked to the front of SKT's player bench. Compared with the excitement written on the faces of EDG everyone, the atmosphere on SKT's side was obviously much heavier.
Rao is the most lively huni in the team, and now his expression is a little autistic. He is packing the mouse and keyboard in silence, and he doesn't even notice that Jack has walked beside him.
Jack saw that the person on the other side didn't seem to be in very good condition, so he took a deep breath to control the smile on his face.
It turned out that there was no way to take it back!
Hahahaha triple crown champion SKT, the invincible SKT!
Didn't he fall at my hands in the end?
Jack raised his eyebrows and poked Huni with his right hand. The latter finally woke up from a dream, turned around and apologized repeatedly, and stretched out his hand to shake Jack's hand.
Xiao Hei seemed much more stable. In fact, he was pulled up to put out the fire when the team was two games behind, and he perfectly controlled the field to win the third game. After losing the fourth game, he also had a record of one win and one loss. After losing this It can be said that BO5 has little to do with him.
He pushed Faker, who was crying on the table next to him, and whispered comfort in his ear: "Brother Xianghe, it's okay, it's just MSI. Let's come back to the World Championship in the summer! The one with more gold content!"
Faker didn't make any noise when he heard the first half of the sentence, but as soon as the word 'gold content' came out, he sat up immediately.
right!
That’s right!
What is the value of MSI? There are only four teams in the knockout round, and there are two more to make up the number.
What's more, does MSI give skin?
Faker thought about this and immediately cheered up. He wanted to avenge his disgrace in the World Championships!
But before that, EDG still has to break through its curse of being in the top eight of the World Championship, otherwise it won't even be qualified to meet SKT.
Li Mufan walked along the line to Faker. Just a moment ago, he saw Faker crying silently with a lonely face. Unexpectedly, he could now smile and shake hands with him.
It's amazing.
faker pursed his lips, nodded to Li Mufan and said: "Nice Lucian!"
Li Mufan originally felt a little proud of killing faker twice in this game, but the other party's frank praise made him feel a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten his college English, and he replied: "Your Ryze is very strong, so I got the advantage and switched lanes directly to the middle!"
In other words, they are afraid that faker will drive the rhythm after Ryze develops, so it is better to strike first.
This kind of recognition of Faker makes him very happy. Coupled with Xiao Hei's previous comfort, Faker has almost recovered from the defeat in the finals.
Li Mufan finally walked up to the SKT bottom lane duo. Frankly speaking, in this BO5, Bang and Wolf have a stable bottom lane advantage, and sometimes the advantage is even a bit big.
But they were too disadvantaged in the upper half of the map. Every time before the time for bang to exert force was reached, they were forced to wipe the top lane, and their advantage was slowly lost.
The director's camera had been following Li Mufan, and now it fell on the helpless face of Pei Junzhi. After shaking hands with Li Mufan, the latter sighed and looked up in shock for several seconds before turning back and continuing to pack his things.
[If I were Bang, I would just pick up the keyboard and smash it over for Huni! 】
[The bottom lane is really trying its best, but it is difficult to win the bottom lane in this game. Which previous S game champion did not rely on the top half to win the game? I feel like Riot really needs to take care of the bottom lane players’ feelings! 】
[Giving you a special assistant is not enough to take care of you, right? Food is food! 】
[Don’t be embarrassed, bang, there is no powerful AD in this league]
[Are you discussing this at this time? Isn’t EDG awesome? ? ? 】
[Strong EDG! We are the champions! 】
[Fanhuang is too strong, killing Huni and Brother Li indiscriminately! Chopping melons and vegetables! 】
It's already past six in the morning domestic time, but the viewers who stayed up late to watch the game are not sleepy at all!
On the contrary, they were extremely excited!
In the middle of the live broadcast, Li Mufan strode towards the Summoner's Trophy in the middle of the stage, stretched out his right hand and lifted it into the air with all his teammates!
There was an explosion and the moment I held the cup, countless golden ribbons fell from the sky!
At this moment, a golden rain seemed to fall inside the venue!
Listening to the exciting music in their ears, everyone's excitement that had just subsided was ignited again because of this atmosphere!
All EDG personnel, including nofe, Maokai, Abu, Loli and even the translator who came with the team, rushed to the stage, shook hands and kept shouting, 'EDG is awesome! ’!
Li Mufan mingled among the crowd and felt every cell in his body beating with excitement. He did it, he did it!
Although this is just MSI, a mid-season invitational tournament, it is far from reaching the step that all professional players dream of - standing on the podium of the World Finals.
But for Li Mufan, this is a good start and an affirmation of his hard work in the first half of the year!
"Hehe! Let me hold it alone and give it a try?" Jack rubbed his hands and asked with a tentative smile.
The teammates gathered in a circle all laughed. Why does this kid look like he has never seen the world?
Those present, such as the factory director and Sister Kou, had won the Summoner's Trophy for the second time.
"Come on!" The factory manager raised his hand magnanimously to this little brother, whose actual age was only 16 years old.
The smile on Jack's face became even bigger. He carefully held the base of the trophy with both hands. He found that the weight of the trophy was a bit light. Then he held it with one hand and swung it upwards!
The photographer who came with the team hurriedly captured the energetic moment of everyone.
The small trophy was rotated in everyone's hands, and finally Li Mufan handed it to the head coach Nofe.
The championship belongs not only to the players, but the efforts of the coach are equally important!
Nofe received the championship trophy. At this time, his lips were trembling with excitement, and the muscles on his face were sore from smiling!
Although he led the team to win the LCK Summer Championship last year, today was undoubtedly the first time he defeated the arrogant Coach Dunma head-on!
No reservations, three to one sweep!
And he can say that his BP design has not lost to the opponent at all!
He had been waiting for this moment for too long, and he even wanted to run back to the lounge immediately to share the joy of this moment with his fiancée!
But waiting for him are the awards ceremony and the post-game interview.
"To be honest, winning the championship is all good, but this trophy is a bit small. It would be great if it was as big as the World Championship trophy." Jack walked at the back of the team carrying the trophy with one hand and kept mumbling.
"Then you should keep up your efforts, play hard in the second half of the year and get the World Championship trophy back!" My sister stood beside him and provoked him: "This MSI, our bot lane has not actually played against the opponent. Do you want to keep hugging your teammates and win? ”
“You may not be able to encounter this configuration of this year’s team next year!”
Jack's face was shocked, he obviously listened to what Meikou said, and Meikou didn't say anything more after seeing this. It's useless to talk too much about this kind of thing, you have to rely on yourself to understand and understand.
When the cheers of the audience reached their peak, the official host walked onto the stage with brisk steps and shouted into the microphone as he walked: "Now! Please tell me in the most enthusiastic voice, today's final champion." The winner is——"
He raised the microphone and sent it to the front of the auditorium, and suddenly there was a roar like a mountain and a tsunami of shouts!
"E! D! G!"
"Let us congratulate EDG again! Winning the overall championship of this 2017 Mid-Season Invitational! Congratulations to EDG!"
The male host's face was finally exposed in the spotlight. He waved to the right and called everyone over to line up.
"How do you feel at the moment after defeating the powerful SKT and winning the championship?" He handed the microphone to the factory director: "Player clearlove! A frequent visitor to our international competitions and a two-time MSI champion! Tell us!"
The director took the microphone and hesitated twice. It seemed that he still couldn't let go in front of so many foreign audiences.
He pondered for a moment and said: "I must be very excited, and then I am very grateful to my teammates. Today's victory is more than just a championship for me."
The translator relayed the factory director's answer to the host, who nodded: "A victory of great significance to the clearlove players!"
"There will be good professional interviews later. Now let us warmly welcome the guests from Riot Games and award championship medals to the winning boys today!"
"Welcome today's guests! They are Tryndamere, Ryze, the co-founders from Riot Games, and I think you will definitely like this last person! Welcome Ronaldo!"
As the host uttered the last character, the scene that had been boiling for a long time was once again pushed to its peak!
"Who? Did I hear it correctly?" The factory director picked his ears. However, in fact, apart from being able to understand some English transliterations of people's names, he could not understand anything the host said.
"You heard me right, it's really Da Luo!" Li Mufan was also excited. This was a name he had been familiar with since childhood, but now he could actually be face to face with him!
He is tall, and he can directly see Da Luo in casual clothes standing under the stage, eager to appear!
As the director showed the camera to the walking Ronaldo, the audience at the scene also let out waves of rhythmic shouts and shouts. In Brazil, who doesn't know Ronaldo?
Although he and everyone in EDG are not on the same track, regardless of whether they play football or not, boys will always take a look during the game, not to mention that now is a great time to take photos with top stars!
Ronaldo had a smile on his face, obviously enjoying the warm atmosphere of the game. He shook hands with the players one by one, then stood next to everyone, raised his hands and waved to the audience.
The two fist bosses, together with Da Luo, picked up the medals from the tray held up by the hostess behind them, and solemnly handed them over to everyone's hands.
Then, everyone stood tightly together and let the photographer take a group photo.
"In addition to awarding medals today, I have another thing to announce!" Tryndamere took out a palm-sized white envelope from his pocket: "Hahaha, I have been robbed of the job of announcing FMVP this year!"< br>
"So dear viewers! Before I reveal the final answer, you can shout as much as you want and tell me who is today's FMVP?!"
The atmosphere at the scene was restless. Although many people were choosing their own FMVP, there was only one loudest voice!
In the end, the audience shouted Li Mufan's ID, and all the voices came together!
Tryndamere nodded with satisfaction. He slowly opened the envelope in his hand and faced the camera with the written side. There were three letters on it: 'Fan'!
"Let us congratulate player EDG_Fan for winning the FMVP honor in the finals of this MSI!"
Li Mufan's face showed joy. Although his performance was invincible, he still felt a sense of recognition and satisfaction when the answer to the mystery was revealed.
The calf couldn't help but was eager to try, and the factory director next to him patted him: "Okay, you! Come over quickly!"
What was handed to Li Mufan from Tryndamere was another FMVP trophy that was smaller and more exquisite than the Summoner's Trophy. Li Mufan could easily hold it with one hand.
But the importance it represents is self-evident.
The champion can be a team, but there is only one FMVP!
"You played well! You are so creative!" Tryndamere praised with a smile: "The designers under me all said that you played the look they most wanted to see!"
With the league's current influence in the gaming industry, the group of designers he has now are extremely powerful. They have high standards and even look down upon some players who have won championships.
The reason is simple, you haven't achieved the effect I want yet!
You haven't fully understood all the mechanisms I designed, so how can I approve of you?
But Li Mufan, several of the heroes he has operated have completely achieved what the designers imagined when designing the heroes!
Imagine that Qinggang Shadow is the work of a designer. When he sees Li Mufan using Qinggang Shadow to lead the team to victory with his superb skills on the court, can he not feel proud in his heart?
"The design of these heroes is great!" Li Mufan is very satisfied with the current top lane ecological chain. Ever since Kennen was cracked by them using top laner Lucian, there is no longer a top lane hero who can start with a certain strength. This pair of players The hero pool is a huge test, but Li Mufan happens to have a deep hero pool now.
Tryndamere was also very satisfied with Li Mufan's answer. In fact, he liked everything about Li Mufan.
LCK has monopolized the world championship for a long time. Only EDG has won one MSI, but they have never won the S championship. Many regions are reacting because LCK is too strong. In every S game, they crush the championship and win the championship and Asia. , the popularity of the event has dropped seriously.
Although Tryndamere has repeatedly targeted LCK teams to weaken heroes and game mechanics, the effects have been very limited or not at all.
Originally, he was still worried about how to solve the LCK monopoly problem, but EDG happened to come to his door.
Tryndamere saw hope in EDG to break the monopoly.
"Play well! I look forward to your performance in this year's World Championship!" Tryndamere patted Li Mufan's shoulder enthusiastically.
"Then we have to enter the World Championship first." Li Mufan said with a smile.
However, it is really difficult to enter the World Championship in the Spring Championship, so Tryndamere just regarded it as a joke. After the awards ceremony, the guests walked off the stage, and then came the interview that the audience had been waiting for!
