Chapter 544: Brother Factory, You Should Thank Me For This
The spotlights shine alternately.
The ribbons cascaded down both sides of the stage, forming two silver waterfalls.
A camera team armed with professional equipment ran onto the stage and came to the EDG player area with the word VICTOIRE displayed behind it to capture precious shots of this year's MSI champion team.
"EDG——"
"EDG——"
"EDG——"
“…”
The audience cheered louder and louder, and it seemed like there would be no end to it.
Amidst the cheers.
The KZ players in a corner of the stage looked gloomy.
Xiao Huasheng took off his noise-cancelling headphones and glasses, his face full of sullenness.
BDD sat in the chair in a daze, motionless.
Khan slowly raised his hands, looked at his left hand, then at his right hand, and gradually an expression of disbelief emerged, as if the three games he had just played were a dream.
"Go, go, shake hands!"
Xing Dao smiled happily: "Send them back home again!"
“Hahahaha, so comfortable!”
"Walk!"
“I am happy when I see Khan’s face!”
The EDG players celebrated for a moment and walked to the KZ team's position happily.
After the routine handshake, he walked along the edge aisle, interacted briefly with the audience sitting in the front row, and high-fived all the way to the center of the stage.
The five people stood in a semicircle.
Raise the golden Canyon of Champions trophy above your head!
Golden ribbons fluttered down, dry ice spray burst out, and the staff used large-sized air fireworks, weaving into a gorgeous picture.
"Let us congratulate the EDG team for defending the honor of the world's number one league on behalf of the LPL today at the Zenith Stadium in Paris!"
"KZ, who were highly expected by the LCK region , still fell at the last step. As the LCK champions, they were like a raging wave on the sea, but EDG was like an eternal basalt, crushing the seemingly unstoppable KZ into pieces!"
"And in the EDG team, the biggest contributor is..."
The host paused deliberately at this point.
Next second.
The audience collectively shouted the ID 'General'!
"Yes, it's the General!"
The host raised his voice to the highest level: "Some players are sharp swords, some players are strong shields, some players are parts that connect the past and the future, some players are indispensable lubricants, and General... As long as EDG needs him, he can be any role and perform at the best level!"
"Next, please invite Riot Games Managing Director and EU Division Director Needham to present EDG with the honor they deserve!"
Needham, wearing a neat suit and slightly bald, came to the side and hung medals on EDG players one by one with both hands.
After taking a group photo.
The tall Sjokz, wearing an orange off-shoulder dress, walked to the middle of the EDG players and said, "Thank you very much for your enthusiasm. I want to ask Clearlove7, the legendary veteran, what does it feel like to defend the title at this MSI?"
Translated retelling.
The factory manager's face showed emotion, relief, and a little hidden pride: "First of all, I want to thank my teammates, coaches, and especially General. Without their help, I am afraid I would not be able to win the MSI championship again."
"It's my duty." Xing Dao came forward.
"It's not that I should, I really have to thank you, starting from S6..." the factory manager recalled.
In the S6 finals, Mouse, who originally did not have enough strength, lost his temper and was unable to start. It was the substitute player next to the water dispenser who stood up and led EDG to counterattack and defeat the seemingly invincible enemy.
In the S7 season, this player was invincible and played like a top laner in ancient times.
In S8, when EDG was facing adversity and its strength was not as good as before, this player still found the winning formula and played KZ in the palm of his hand at the tactical level.
It is no exaggeration to say that without this player, EDG would not have achieved such brilliant achievements.
As I enter my twilight years in the e-sports world, I will probably have to retire with the shame of "every word has eight strokes, and every year I'm in the top eight", instead of standing at the top of the world and gaining both fame and fortune.
Thinking of this, the factory director was filled with emotion.
There are countless compliments to be expressed.
But before he got to the point, Xing Dao interrupted him with the following words: "What I mean is, this is the factory brother you should thank."
"???????"
"????"
"Fuck..."
"God should be thanked!"
"The interview genius is worthy of his reputation!"
"I don't accept anyone but Brother Jie in this regard."
“I learned a new word hahahahahaha.”
"classic!"
"Factory Manager: Kobi Zaizhi!"
“…”
The barrage on the LPL side was immediately filled up.
The factory manager's expression became complicated again. He was still feeling thankful and grateful, but he also had the urge to hit someone...
And when the translator worked hard to convert this passage into English, most of the audience were immersed in a sea of joy.
"General...General..."
Although Miss Sjokz was very professional, she still couldn't help laughing. She paused twice before getting back on track: "General is really as humorous as the rumors say. Then let's ask EDG mid laner Zz1tai. You joined EDG in the spring season this year. How do you think your position in the EDG team should be ranked?"
"I don't know who has the highest status, but I am the lowest and get bullied every day." Zizi said.
"Oh?" Miss Sjokz was indeed attracted: "Looking at Zz1tai's body shape, he doesn't look like he's been bullied, right?"
"I'm not fat, I'm just swollen from being beaten by them." Zizi said the follow-up contentedly and stuck out his tongue at the camera.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK!”
"It's okay even if it's swollen."
“That’s amazing.”
"Let's be honest. If you can become the champion, you don't have to worry about getting swollen from fighting, you can even get swollen from X!"
“Something’s wrong!”
"It's so weird upstairs!"
“…”
"Next, ask JackeyLove."
Miss Sjokz continued to ask: "In this MSI Mid-Season Championship, you came in first in the group and took the initiative to choose FNC in the semi-finals. What was your consideration at the time?"
Ah Shui blinked.
Finding out things is not that simple.
The first two questions were handled according to procedure, but the third one was obviously not handled with good intentions...
After thinking for a while, Ah Shui answered cautiously: "At that time, we were in good shape and felt that we could all play, so we selected them according to the ranking."
"Uh... okay!"
After listening to the translator's retelling, Miss Sjokz looked a little strange for some reason.
After a few seconds of pause, the topic shifted to Meiko's position: "EDG used the Ruby Swordmaster in the first game, and Xayah and Rakan in the second game. Do you have any experience or comments about the second game's play ?"
"It's really new!" Meiko smiled. "I usually play in the bottom lane, but this time I switched to the middle lane... It's pretty comfortable to play. I'll try it more often in the future if I have the chance."
The words fell.
Many people in the professional circle started complaining.
MMP.
The white lotus is worthy of being the white lotus.
Quite comfortable?
Can you try more?
Isn't this just a trap in Ban/Pick?
When playing against EDG later, we not only have to consider Irelia, Yasuo, Aatrox, and Juggernaut, but also Xayah, Rakan, mid and jungle, and Ornn + Scorpion + Thresh... we can't target them all!
“Ouch!”
"Then I look forward to your performance!"
Miss Sjokz walked over to Xing Dao and said, "General is the best player in this MSI. After the group stage and two BO5 elimination matches, who impressed you the most?"
"The level of our opponents is very high and we are all deeply impressed!" Xing Dao put on an awkward but polite smile.
"It's so funny."
“What a deep impression!”
"Low EQ: Can't remember all the dishes; high EQ: All are very memorable."
"The standard was very high = 3-0."
“…”
Miss Sjokz also clearly felt that there was something else behind this sentence.
Follow-up question: "General picked Ornn in the last game of the finals when Jayce was out there. What was he thinking at the time?"
"Do you think Khan doesn't dare to take the risk of picking Jayce, or is he confident that he can use Ornn to beat Jayce?"
This question is obviously provocative.
But...
Xing Dao didn't care at all.
Confucius once said: If you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?
When facing humble players, you should remain correspondingly humble. When facing a fool like Khan who has no strength but is arrogant, there is naturally no need to be polite.
After tidying up his words, Xing Dao raised the microphone and said, "Everyone thinks that Ornn can't beat Jayce. I think so too. The main reason for picking Ornn is that he can rely on his passive equipment to resist pressure."
"What I didn't expect was..."
"Khan's Jayce is so easy to beat..."
