Chapter 144: Hold the cup, IG! (2-in-1)
As the audience cheered, Ning threw off his headphones and shouted: "Champion! Win!"
Then he pulled Rookie up. .
Rookie was also very excited at the moment and hugged Ning: "Did we create a historical record for the team and win IG's first championship in the LPL."
Theshy patted His back: "Ouch! Rookie, you forgot. We must be IG's first LPL champion."
An Yi, who had come this far for the first time, also sighed: "Huh, it's just like a dream."
It's still a very comfortable dream!
The girl was very excited, but when she turned to celebrate with Rookie, she saw that the big brother was already quietly wiping tears, and even sat back on the chair because of excitement.
Anyi was affected by this scene. Whether it was the 18LPL finals where she was crying because of her gestures, or the S8 championship where she shed tears on the spot, or the scene in front of her, she knew how difficult it was for Rookie.
Since OGN debuted, this boy has devoted his most precious youth to LPL.
And while most Korean players are thinking about coming to China to make a living, he is one of the few who truly chooses to fight for the honor of the LPL.
This is such a player who has to respond to his fans in Chinese even if he wins the championship in his hometown. He shed tears after getting the honor that was enough to prove himself in the LPL.
And this is why Ning said, "I want to give Rookie a championship."
So much so that the commentators are saying it.
Doll: "Rookie cried, and I was suddenly a little moved."
"Maybe you don't know it very well, but we casters know it best. Ever since we came to China with Kakao and led IG to the World Championships, Rookie has been playing the role of dean and shining for our LPL. Now, It’s been two and a half years!”
Guan Zeyuan: “I dare to ask how many professional players can have two and a half years. Really, please give him the applause. He and the IG players are worthy of us. Admire the players!"
After finishing his words, the audience shouted the name of 'IG', which made Rookie calm down again.
At this time, IG staff and substitute players also walked onto the stage one by one.
KID saw Rookie crying and immediately came over to comfort him: "Don't cry Rookie, we won, we are the best!"
Rookie knew that he couldn't show his cowardly side in front of a filial child, so he forced a smile.
Then he picked up Theshy's uniform, wiped his tears and snot and stood up again.
Theshy:? ? ?
As the captain of IG, he quickly adjusted his condition and was surrounded by everyone and came to the center of the stage.
At this time, a shining silver trophy was standing on the podium.
The host's rich voice also came.
Ren Dong: "The veteran is in tears! IG has been waiting for this day for too long. They have faced countless doubts, but now they have proven themselves! Proved that they are the strongest kings on this stage! "
"Now, hold the cup, IG, and pick up the trophy that belongs to you!"
Everyone at IG gathered around the Silver Dragon Cup, with a bright smile on everyone's face.
The golden fireworks were in full bloom on the stage, and the colored balls bloomed and dropped golden fragments.
Bathed in the golden rain, everyone raised the trophy high!
At this time, there was only one voice in the audience, and that was: "IG! IG! IG!"
There was just a little hiccup in such a grand awarding moment.
I don’t know if it was because of the excitement, but the teammates held the trophy very high, as if they were showing off to everyone.
But this would be a hardship for An Yi.
Because she was shorter than the boys, she stood at the front.
Her teammates lifted the trophy, but she was separated by the podium and could not touch the trophy. She was forced to keep jumping on tiptoes to touch the trophy to gain a sense of participation.
The audience, who were originally in tears, became happy again when they saw this scene:
“Hahaha! Although I know I shouldn’t laugh at this time, I just can’t help it!”< br>
“The petite and cute sister Benzi touches a trophy and has to put her feet up! So cute!”
"You're all bullying Sister Benzi, right! Don't be afraid, Sister Benzi, take off your shoes and step on me!"
"???"
"I'll reward you after the game, right!"
Fortunately, the old father Mafa quickly noticed Aki’s little feet that kept raising up, so he took the initiative to put down the trophy.
The trophy was lost and recovered. An Yi took it directly and held it in his arms without letting go.
At the end of the cup-holding session, host Ren Dong also walked onto the stage and loudly said: "Please shout out again, our champion is!"
Audience: "IG!!!"
In order to quiet down the noisy scene, Ren Dong also hurriedly came to the team members and said: "Yes! IG! And I think our IG team members now have a lot to share with the fans."
< br>Caught the young model worker An Yi, Ren Dong asked: "First of all, I want to ask An Yi, how is it? Is the Silver Dragon Cup sinkable?"
An Yi held the trophy and smiled and responded: " Fortunately, it’s not as heavy as expected.”
Ren Dong continued to ask: "Now that I finally have it, how do you feel now?"
An Yi has just calmed down from the spiritual climax of winning the championship: "Before the emm competition started, I wanted to win the championship. This This has always been our goal, but standing on this stage in the blink of an eye is a bit overwhelming.”
“This is also the first time that IG has won the LPL championship. Anyway, I am very happy and nervous. After so long, I can finally have a good and comfortable sleep after going back."
Barrage:
"The AI assistant extracts keywords for you: want, first time, tight, comfortable. , sleep.”
"Don't randomly extract keywords!"
But then An Yi added: "But there will be bigger challenges waiting for us in the future, so we still can't relax too much."
< br>Ren Dong nodded: "Yes! Because you won the 2017 LPL Summer Split, you became our LPL's No. 1 seed in the S7 Global Finals. What are your prospects for this?"< br>
An Yi said modestly: "Well, it's my first time to participate in the World Championship, so I don't have much experience."
"But once you climb a mountain, you are higher than a mountain. My outlook is I will always be the next champion, so I will do my best to fight every game with all my heart.”
Barrage:
"Gitui! Burn your heart!"
"What you want most is always the next champion. This is true, how can people not love such a player!"
"This is Sister Benzi, always on the road to pursue the limit!"
"An Bao! Go for the duck! Little IG! Go for the duck!"
Touched by the girl's determination, Ren Dong also wished: "Then I hope you can achieve good results!"
"To digress, I heard that Anyi player set a Flag before the game. Specifically, it is a flag. What’s the flag? Do you want to announce it now?”
When it was suddenly mentioned, An Yi immediately confirmed that the news came from the fan group.
An Yi: We have a mole in our midst!
And if you lose a game to RNG, you have to wear League of Legends Cos and sing the S7 theme song or something.
An Yi knew that although she had won, based on her understanding of that group of fans, she would definitely say that 'losing a game is also a loss'.
So she just responded: "Let's wait until the live broadcast."
As soon as these words came out, the barrage immediately began to look forward to it, thinking about how to trick this bad woman into wearing something nice. .
After An Yi finished asking questions, Ren Dong then asked other IG members.
But they vividly explained what is meant by ‘the essence of human beings is repeaters’.
What do you think? happy!
What are the goals? Do your best!
An Yi: Don’t you have any lines of your own?
Even at the end of Ning, he directly transformed into a Lezi person and said: "Me too!"
Ren Dong couldn't deal with this, so he could only make fun of it. .
After the interview, the FMVP of this LPL Summer Finals was also given to Anyi.
The girl’s hardships and efforts along the way have turned into a shining silver medal, which is the greatest recognition for her from her teammates and the audience.
An Yi then gave the medal a passionate kiss, feeling her own honor. This was also the first time she had received a personal honor.
When the fans shouted "envy the medal", the camera also recorded the scene, and the name of IG was also engraved on the LPL championship stone.
Afterwards, with the audience cheering in farewell, everyone at IG left the field with honor, drawing a successful conclusion to this summer competition.
After participating in a media interview, the work of the IG team members officially ended.
After winning the LPL Summer Split championship, they naturally wanted to go out and celebrate.
For this reason, Principal Wang personally arrived and booked a luxurious banquet to celebrate IG’s first LPL championship.
Since the prince paid for all the expenses tonight, everyone had a full meal.
Afterwards, Principal Wang also wrapped a big red envelope for each of the team members.
Especially An Yi, because of her FMVP status, her red envelopes are the most generous.
But the red envelope is secondary, the most important thing is the contract salary.
Because An Yi signed a gambling contract, winning the summer championship will directly receive a bonus of 2 million.
In this regard, Principal Wang did not take a wagering contract and get good results and then reduce his salary like some strange team, but accepted it calmly, and was even very happy!
On the one hand, there is no shortage of money now. The main thing is the economic benefits of Anyi himself and the IG team. They are no longer the small club that lost money to build a team.
It can be predicted that after winning this championship, the value of the IG team will skyrocket, especially Anyi.
Many major teams have even discussed Aki's contract before, and this has even reached the ears of the principal.
It’s no wonder that others are thinking about An Yi, because An Yi only has a one-year contract, so no one will be eager to replace him.
FMVP is available again, and now Anyi’s signing price is estimated to be over 18 million.
This is not an exaggeration. First of all, the strength is there, and secondly, Anyi’s traffic monetization ability alone is enough to support most teams.
For this reason, Principal Wang also made some insinuations, and then he felt relieved after confirming that An Yi had no intention of leaving for the time being. After all, there are not a few players who sign contracts and change jobs and break the contract. It can only be said that An Yi is not tempted by money.
However, in order to compensate An Yi, Principal Wang also decided to increase her basic salary several times, and the bonus from the gambling agreement was also paid.
After finalizing these, Principal Wang felt puzzled: Who was the smart guy who took the initiative to let An Yi sign the gambling agreement?
At this time, Su Xiaoluo did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that the principal would think of something.
Because he was the one who made the decision to let An Yi sign the gambling agreement.
Akshan: The boomerang is coming!
Fortunately, the principal valued An Yi very much. She deserved more money, so she had no problem taking it.
Throwing this question behind them, everyone had a drink and then went back to rest.
In the next few days, everyone at IG did not leave Kyoto immediately because there was still a qualifying ceremony to attend.
Since IG won the summer championship, it jumped to first place in points and directly entered the S7 global finals as the No. 1 seed.
RNG also obtained the second seed status because it ranked second in points from the Spring Split + Summer Split.
So in the upcoming qualifying tournament, three teams, OMG, EDG, and WE, will compete for the final third seed spot.
Actually, there should be more than three teams here, but the previous Bo10 incident made the officials discover that the rules of the competition may allow a team to play 10 games in a row in a day.
Now that the situation has been discovered, should we solve it?
No! The LPL chose to address the person who raised the situation and directly cut down the qualifying teams to three.
LPL: As expected of me, so smart!
Snake Team: Damn it!
The first to be eliminated in this three-game battle was the OMG team. Planet Light had entered the sunset, so it was swept by EDG 3:0.
EDG then faced the spring champion WE, and the two sides launched a battle that blocked everything.
At this time, nothing could be hidden. Both sides also used their unique skills to press the bottom of the box. In the end, the battle reached a 2:2 draw.
When the battle song sounded in the fifth game, both teams were already standing on the edge of the cliff.
It’s time to say that the reason why EDG can become the No. 1 seed in the original history of LPL is that it must be powerful!
With his rich tactical knowledge, he came up with Wild Core Widow, which caught the opponent off guard.
Mingkai, who got two kills in the early stage, entered the dark Kai mode. In the end, after WE struggled to hold on for 37 minutes, EDG pushed off the base and ended the game.
Since then! EDG defeated WE 3:2, and the three LPL teams participating in the World Championship were confirmed!
No. 1 seed: IG!
Second seed: RNG!
Third seed: EDG!
At the expedition ceremony, all the players of the three LPL teams uniformly changed into black gold-rimmed T-shirts.
Anyi also got the women's custom-made Conquest, a black gold-rimmed skirt + customized high-quality silk. Obviously, LPL has also found the correct way to use Anyi.
At this time, all the team members held their heads high and had firm beliefs.
The barrages also all read "unanimously to the outside world".
A small number of barrages were also posted: "Unanimously speaking to the outside world, meaning: whoever comes back first is the 'foreign'!"
With the host Ren Dong's impassioned speech, the expedition ceremony A perfect ending.
And because the members of each team were already training very intensely during the summer split, the three teams took advantage of the fact that there was enough time to give the players three days off to adjust.
After all, you can't keep things tight all the time, and you have to loosen up when appropriate. Anyway, it's still early for the World Championships in a month.
Furthermore, the sparring team has not been formed yet, and there are no training matches to play.
What is a sparring team?
During the World Championship, in order to help the three LPL teams going out, generally the LPL teams that have not entered the World Championship will contribute their top players to form a temporary team. Go and play with the traveling team, also known as the 'sparring team'.
On the one hand, it was to build the team's reputation through the World Championship, and on the other hand, all teams at that time were indeed unanimous in their exposure to the outside world.
During the original historical S7 period, people including SMLZ, Doinb, Theshy, Rookie and others were part of the sparring team. What was even more outrageous was that Ah Shui, who was originally unable to participate, went up to kill several of the participating teams.
When IG is completely beaten and loses confidence, this is not what the sparring team should consider.
So the situation in 2023 where WBG reached the finals but could not get a training match will not happen now.
And another advantage of the ‘sparring team’ is that the LPL teams participating in the World Championship may face each other in the quarterfinals or semifinals.
Before that, playing training matches together might expose your tactics, but with a sparring group, it's different. No one knows the other's details, and there's no chance of someone being stolen from them.
It can only be said that some people are shouting, and some are really doing it. This is the pattern of IG, and it even served as a training team for the Asian Games team in 2018.
Of course, the Asian Games team was also autistic
So taking advantage of the period when the sparring team was being formed, An Yi, who got a vacation, flew back to the Magic City with his teammates and put his things away. After arriving at the base, I started my short vacation.
And since it is a holiday, Aki naturally wants to go home first!
An Yi's cozy little nest.
An Yi opened the door, not seen for many days, it was still a familiar scene and a familiar smell.
And she put down her salute and shouted: "Ruoxi, I'm back!"
But there was no response from the room, so An Yi looked at the time and found that it was only 12 noon.
Although the word 'cai' is not very good, it is still 'early' for night owls like An Yi and Ruoxi who like to hang out at night and do whatever they want during the day.
Knowing that her sister might not be up, An Yi smiled evilly and prepared to provide her sister with a considerate bed service.
I saw An Yi tiptoeing into her sister's bedroom, and then saw Xiao Ruoxi, who was curled up in bed because of the onset of autumn.
Needless to say, this must be another van game to secretly reward yourself at night.
Taking this opportunity, An Yi quietly walked over and pinched a corner of the quilt, and then shouted: "Get up! The sun is shining on your butt!"
Then she directly lifted up the quilt, Let Ruoxi feel the first northwest wind of autumn.
But when the quilt flew up and An Yi saw Ruoxi naked on the bed, the girl was stunned and blinked Kazilan's big eyes: "Huh?"
And in the real sense, Ruoxi had her butt exposed to the sun. He opened his eyes drowsily and saw An Yi.
The slight chill in the air made Ruoxi's brain quickly recover from the chaos.
She first looked down at herself, then looked up at An Yi, and then immediately hugged her body in shame and anger.
Ten minutes later
Outside the bedroom, An Yi, who had been kicked out, was facing the wall and thinking about her mistakes.
But she refused!
We are all old sisters, there is nothing we can’t see.
Getting used to it is nothing more than two points and one line. (Referring to daily life)
While I was thinking, the door opened and Ruoxi walked out in her pajamas.
After seeing this, An Yi immediately put away the displeasure on her face and changed her expression: "My good sister, wake up!"
Ruoxi was still angry at getting up: "Yes, I was woken up by someone."
Seeing that her sister was still resentful, An Yi quickly explained: "I haven't been in Kyoto recently. I haven't seen my lovely sister who misses me in a few days. By the way, do you miss me?"
Ruoxi crossed her chest and asked, "What do you think?"
After receiving this answer, An Yi gave Ruoxi a big bear hug.
Ruo Xi's remaining resentment was instantly washed away, and then she buried her head in An Yi's hair and took a few breaths, but the smell was still familiar.
After a long time, An Yi let Ruoxi go and asked, "By the way, why don't you wear clothes when you sleep at home?"
Ruoxi's eyes turned white and her hands did not show a V: " It’s more comfortable to sleep that way, and it sounds like I can get dressed while you’re at home.”
When An Yi thought about it, it seemed true.
But then she remembered something important and said quickly: "By the way, I'll give you something good, dang dang!"
With that said, she took out the FMVP medal that she had hidden inside her clothes from her collar.
Ruoxi: Where did you get it from? Milky medal! ?
Ignoring her sister's strange look, An Yi showed off: "Not only did I win the championship, I was also FMVP! Isn't that awesome, your An Yi!"
Ruo Xi looked at An Yi The look of a child begging for praise is a bit cute, and he keeps praising her: "Awesome, my champion sister, and you have worked hard these days to train and play games."
" By the way, you haven’t had breakfast yet. I’ll give it to you later.”
An Yi: It’s weird, but I want to eat it!
So she didn't shirk: "Well, okay, I just have to have a live broadcast meeting later, and I don't have time to make lunch."
Hearing An Yi's return, she will devote herself to it. At work, Ruoxi lamented that her sister worked really hard, and she must reward her while taking advantage of these few days of rest.
Thinking about it, Ruoxi was about to walk out, but suddenly turned around and asked: "By the way, do you have time in the evening?"
An Yi responded: "Yes. , for what?”
Ruoxi: Do it! (No)
Ruoxi explained: "It's nothing, it's just that grandma came to Shanghai recently, and dad and my uncles and aunts all planned to go there to get together. You also know that mom and dad have officially Together, so."
An Yi suddenly realized: "I understand! Meet my parents!"
Ruoxi nodded: "That's about it."
And Zao. I heard that Ruoxi's family has quite a lot of people. Now that I have become a family, I haven't seen a few of them yet. I just have a chance to go and have a look.
And since I have won the championship, I will definitely make my mother look good in front of my father and family.
As the saying goes, if you don't return to your homeland, you can wear brocade clothes at night, like wearing a thong under safety pants, or wearing high-quality silk pants.
So An Yi nodded and said: "Okay."
Ruoxi said happily: "Okay, then I will call you tonight."
After saying that, she started Went to make breakfast.
An Yi, on the other hand, packed up her things and sat in front of the computer, preparing to start a live broadcast for a while.
This does not mean that we need to make up for the live broadcast time, and there is no need to make up for the time as the World Championships are approaching.
The live broadcast now is just because I haven’t broadcast live to fans for almost half a month in preparation for the playoffs. After winning the championship, I also agreed with the fans in advance to live broadcast for one day. I can’t follow Theshy and keep being the king of cakes.
So An Yi sat in front of the computer, sent a message to the group, and then skillfully opened the live broadcast software.
When she opened the webpage and saw her live broadcast room, she saw a shocking scene!
