Amidst the cheers that resounded throughout the Zenith Stadium, the ym players, led by Su Chen, came to the other side of the stage, where the Samsung competition seats were.
The entire Samsung team, which lost the fifth game, was now enveloped in the frustration of defeat.
Especially Samsung's top laner Khan, who was slumped in a chair at the moment, with his small eyes covered by thick bangs, successfully activated the super autistic state.
In this game, Samsung not only lost the MSI championship, but also lost the lck's monopoly on international championships since the 2015 S-League.
At this moment, lck’s forum is already filled with various autistic comments.
Some insulted the entire Samsung team, some expressed disappointment, and some expressed doubts about Khan's performance in the final.
However, almost no one can stand up and refute the strength of the ym team.
Because, there is no reason.
Going back in time is Samsung.
In the last game, ym even gave up the blue side's choice of side, so it can't be said that ym took advantage of the blue side.
Tonight, lck lost completely.
Before going to MSI, Samsung once boasted that it would win consecutively to win the MSI championship and create a dynasty no less powerful than SKT.
As the best individual player in the team, Khan also has high hopes from the lck audience.
Many people believe that after joining Samsung this year, Khan will create performance comparable to that of S5 Marin.
However, tonight, jkd, the ym top laner from lpl, crushed Khan from beginning to end in the last two games, telling Samsung fans with his strength.
Samsung's dynasty dream will not come true.
The number one top laner in the world can only be Jiang Keda!
The entire Samsung team completed the post-game tribute session without saying a word.
Emperor Chi, Leader An, Brother Crown and other veteran LCK players couldn't help but look at Su Chen a few more times when they shook hands with him.
The emotions revealed in everyone's eyes are different.
Leader An had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to the OGN League in 2013, the day when Faker single-handedly killed him in the middle and became famous.
It seems that he exists in the background of every epoch-making genius born.
The Emperor Chi's expression was a little confused. He didn't understand why the smiling man in front of him acted like that in the canyon.
And he also created a gameplay that has almost never happened before, such as using adc to play the top lane.
Khan was the last to shake hands with Su Chen.
He lowered his eyes and tried not to look at Su Chen.
From the group stage to the finals, Khan had almost no advantage online. Whether it was the hero pool, the pressure on the line, or the influence on the entire team, Khan fell behind Su Chen.
This feeling of being completely crushed is really uncomfortable.
However, Khan, who lowered his head, heard what Su Chen said in English.
"A truly strong person lies not in how he enjoys success, but in how he faces failure. I hope I can see a stronger you next time we meet."
Khan raised his head and saw Su Chen's indifferent expression.
There is no condescending arrogance after defeating the opponent.
There is no false regret either.
Although Su Chen's tone was calm, it still revealed absolute confidence.
Khan thought of a previous interview in which he bluntly said to the camera that the top laner of lck was better than the top laner of lpl.
At this moment, these words seemed like a slap in the face.
Not only him, but the entire Samsung team paid the price for their contempt for lpl.
Perhaps times have really changed.
"You are very strong. I will work hard with you as my goal. I will win you back when we meet next time." Khan solemnly held Su Chen's hand and said in broken English.
Su Chen patted his shoulder and said nothing more.
During the tribute session between the two teams.
The host sjokz, who had changed her dress again, took the stage again. She held a microphone in one hand and a white envelope in the other hand, and walked onto the stage in 12 cm high heels.
We came to the booth next to the MSI championship trophy.
"Everyone, let us applaud again and congratulate the young miracle team! Please give another round of applause and screams!" sjokz cheered up the atmosphere while smiling and applauding himself.
Su Chen led the team members back to the center of the stage. Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo and others involuntarily pushed Su Chen to the middle position.
On the other side of the stage, Meng Ma and Xiao Ma also rushed onto the stage. The latter was holding the ym team flag and China's five-star red flag in his hands, his face almost bursting with smiles.
Meng Ma was also holding a mobile phone with a video call already connected.
pdd's round face appeared on the phone screen.
"Really or not, Lao Su, the MSI champion really came down. I, Liu, looked like I was going to heaven!" pdd kept touching his round head with his hands, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak fluently.
.
"Don't worry, you haven't touched the MSI trophy yet. I'll touch it for you tonight." Su Chen pointed to the golden MSI trophy behind him with a smile.
"Don't mess with me! If you tell me, I will ask Shen Lingmin to book a flight for me and fly to Paris overnight." pdd laughed out loud.
Then he asked Meng Ma to cut off the camera and take a look at the grand scene in the Zenith Stadium.
"It's such a damn pity. I'm going to regret not being there for the rest of my life." pdd couldn't help but take off his glasses and wiped them hard on his face.
While ym everyone was smiling and talking.
Two well-groomed middle-aged men in casual suits also appeared on the stage.
"Let's invite the two founders of Riot Games, Ryze and Tryndamere, to present the 2018 MSI Championship trophy to the young miracle team!" sjokz said with a smile.
"Is this the person who designed League of Legends? Why don't he even wear glasses? He doesn't look like he designed the game." Zhang Xiaowen looked at Ryze and Tryndamere curiously.
"Stop talking, the camera is filming, stand up straight, keep smiling, and applaud!" Xiaotian reminded in a low voice from the side.
When Zhang Xiaowen heard this, he quickly shut up and straightened his body.
Ryze and Tryndamere briefly discussed it, and finally Tryndamere picked up the trophy and placed it in the hands of Su Chen, who was standing in the center of the team.
"Congratulations! I'm very happy to see the LPL division win the MSI championship trophy again. Tonight's game was exciting." Tryndamere said with a smile.
"Thank you." Su Chen took the trophy and looked around.
The whole YM team gathered in front of the MSI trophy.
"One...two...three!" The moment Su Chen shouted the slogan.
The golden msi championship trophy was lifted by the whole ym team!
On the big screen, everyone in ym had a bright smile.
The Zenith Stadium once again erupted into cheers like a roaring tsunami.
"jkd!"
"ym!"
"jkd!"
"ym!"
The same slogans echoed around the venue over and over again.
In lpl's live broadcast room, the barrage is also scrolling rapidly.
[Congratulations to ym! He once again won a championship trophy after a month! 】
[I never expected to win the MSI this year, it’s so awesome!]
[After this battle, jkd’s status as the world’s number one top laner should be confirmed]
[If you don’t understand, just ask, why is there no time to look back in the fifth game? Was the referee silenced??]
[This year's MSI champion won last year's S competition champion, and the gold content is really beyond words!】
"This MSI trophy is a bit small. Is it pure gold?" Zhang Xiaowen took the trophy handed over by Su Chen and shook it in his hand.
Compared with the Silver Dragon Cup, the MSI trophy is indeed more than two models smaller and can basically be dragged up with one hand.
However, the gold content of this trophy is definitely far beyond the LPL championship trophy.
ymEveryone has individually experienced the feel of an MSI championship trophy.
Finally, it was passed back to Su Chen's hands.
"Next, please pay attention to the white envelope in Mr. Reitz's hand!" sjokz finished clinking glasses at ym, and then started to guide the session.
Ryze also raised the envelope in his hand, and the camera also gave a close-up.
"Guess what's in this envelope?" sjokz deliberately let it slip.
"fmvp!" Someone immediately laughed at the scene.
"Yes! Next, please invite Mr. Reitz to announce the 2018 msi finals mvp for us!" sjokz said with a smile.
Ryze nodded, tore open the envelope and took out a card from inside.
"The winner of the 2018 MSI Finals MVP is...ym jkd!" Ruiz spit out these three letters with a smile, then turned sideways and applauded Su Chen.
The staff also brought the FMVP trophy to the stage and placed it in Su Chen's hands.
"I still remember on the first day of the group stage, when you said that ym came to Europe with only one goal, and that was to win the championship. Now you have really achieved all this. How do you feel at this moment? You're welcome. Feel free to talk to us.
Share it with everyone!" sjokz handed the microphone to Su Chen.
"Well, first of all I would like to thank my teammates who fought alongside me, Tian, Fox, Knight, Bovy. I hope everyone can give them applause. Without their support, I alone would not be able to win the game.
." After Su Chen finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the teenagers behind him, and he applauded them for taking the lead.
The audience immediately burst into applause.
The director also immediately switched the camera to the faces of Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo, Zhang Xiaowen and bovy.
"I love Tian! He is the strongest jungler in this MSI!"
"Knight's flying skills are also very good. He didn't fall behind at all against the champion of the S game!"
“Bovy and Fox’s double AP combination in the bottom lane in the last two games was really interesting! I still want to see such a BP appear!”
Under the guidance of Su Chen, the audience also gave applause and blessings to other people in ym.
Xiaotian, who had already calmed down, couldn't help but feel a sore nose at this moment and quickly turned away his face.
Zhang Xiaowen, on the other hand, bit his lower lip forcefully to prevent himself from bursting into tears.
Although Su Chen shined brightly at this year's MSI, at this moment, he still hopes that the audience will not forget the partners who stand side by side with him.
"As Miss Sjokz said, winning the MSI championship is our only goal when we come to Europe, because this championship is very important. It is not just an honor, but more importantly, we want to use this championship to make the world once again
Face up to the LPL competition!"
When Su Chen said these words, sjokz was stunned for a moment.
The two bosses of Riot Games, Tryndamere and Ryze, looked at each other and couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
"In the past three years, the LPL division has been unable to win international competitions. My friends, uzi, clearlove, 957... they are all the best players in the LPL, but in the eyes of other divisions, it seems that they are just a group of repeaters.
The failed challenger."
"Tonight YM won the MSI championship, and this championship also belongs to the LPL and to every LPL player who is moving forward on the road to glory."
"It is precisely because of these seniors who fell down time and time again and stood up and moved forward time and time again that our entire division can continue to improve until ym wins the MSI championship trophy tonight."
In the Dousha TV live broadcast room, Uzi fell into silence after hearing these words.
The moment Su Chen won the MSI championship, he was actually quite envious, but he never thought that Su Chen would say his name at the MSI championship award ceremony.
The factory director, 957, who was watching MSI in the base, was also a little moved.
"The Jiang Ke University player's speech is really very structured. He talks about his feelings from the perspective of the entire LPL. It's really great." At this moment, even Guan Zeyuan, a die-hard Samsung fan, was also impressed by Su Chen.
Take it heartily.
On the stage, Su Chen's speech continued.
"It feels really great to win the MSI championship. However, this championship only represents the results of the first half of the year. For YM and LPL, everything has just begun. We will use the MSI championship as a starting point and move towards a greater goal.
Target strikes!"
"In the global finals in November this year, I hope that the LPL division can break the seven-year history of no S championship. This will be our ultimate goal!"
"We will never stop until we achieve this goal!"
When Su Chen said these words.
Sjokz, Tryndamere, and Ryze were all shocked.
The Zenith Stadium was silent for two or three seconds.
Then a roar like a mountain roaring and a tsunami broke out again.
Behind Su Chen, Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo and others fell into a state of collective confusion.
"Oh my god... jkd, I really don't know what to say. Maybe this is why you are loved by so many people." sjokz looked at Su Chen in disbelief.
This young man from China has just won the overall championship of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, creating the best result in the international arena for the LPL region in three years.
And his own career has just started less than half a year ago.
Now, he actually once again set himself a goal of hell-level difficulty.
That is, the 2018 LoL Global Finals Champion!
Although the MSI in May every year is a preview of the S-game in November at the end of the year.
However, the S competition and the MSI are not at the same level at all.
Compared with msi, only the champion team of the division spring competition participates.
The scale of the S competition and the number of participating teams are much larger, the history is longer, and the status is supreme.
Although edg defeated skt in 2015 and won the first msi championship, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the s competition at the end of the year. In the end, it was skt who won the trophy.
Not many people would praise EDG that year, even though they were the first MSI champions.
What history will remember is still skt who won the s championship at the end of the year.
Even because of the defeat in the MSI, Faker's second S crown that year seemed more tortuous and meaningful.
For lpl, the msi championship has already been won by edg.
The MSI championship won by ym is more like a signal of the recovery of the LPL division.
However, since the s tournament was held, lpl has never won any global championship.
This is also the reason why lpl has never been recognized by the world.
Tonight, standing on the MSI championship award stage, Su Chen once again shouted out the championship slogan for the S competition!
The pressure behind shouting this sentence is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"I like this boy." Tryndamere whispered towards Ryze.
"There are still half a year left in the S-Season. Before that, this team still needs to complete the summer split and qualify to enter the S-Season. However, this does make me look forward to this year's S-Season."
Ruiz clapped along with the scene and replied calmly.
"Perhaps we should increase some media tracking reports on jkd. Faker has seen a significant decline this year. If the lpl division is really on the rise, then we should be prepared early." Tryndamere reminded.
"That's natural, everything is business..." Ruiz nodded.
…
In the post-match lounge of the Zenith Stadium.
Given and August were sitting on the sofa, with each other's expressions a little anxious.
"Hey, it's almost done. It's been twenty minutes since the award ceremony ended..." August muttered and looked at his Iron Man co-branded watch.
"Why are you so anxious? If you win the championship, you will definitely have to celebrate a little longer. It would be great if you can squeeze out some time to be interviewed by us. Can you be patient?" Ji Wen shook his legs while trying to stay calm.
"How long do you plan to lie to me?" August said abruptly.
"What are you lying to?" Ji Wen looked at him inexplicably.
"You are actually a huge fan of jkd, right!" August stood up directly and said angrily, "I finally understand why you took over the modification work of Lucian and Kalista."
"You are on the road just so that jkd can use these two heroes! You have nothing to do with ym winning the championship tonight!" August shouted.
"Are you crazy? How do I know they can reach the fifth game? And didn't you say that my changes failed?" Ji Wen said angrily.
"I believe you! You just want to die!" August pretended to rush over and give his friend a bear hug.
After ym lost the third game to the blue side, Riot designers basically felt that ym had no hope of making a comeback.
August, in particular, was already bragging to everyone in the room, expressing how invincible Kai'Sa was.
However, when ym brought out Lucian in the top lane in the fourth game, August was dumbfounded.
In the fifth game, when ym took out Kalista as top laner again, he directly entered a brain shutdown state.
"Don't act like an adolescent, okay...how much pressure have you put on me..." Ji Wen was about to reply.
Someone knocked on the door outside the room.
The two people immediately sat upright and exchanged a look of temporary truce with each other.
The door to the room opened, and a staff member poked his head in. After looking around, he walked outside the door and gave a few brief explanations.
Then, he opened the door.
A young man with black hair wearing a black team uniform walked into the room.
"Hello." Su Chen greeted the two designers in the room and sat down on the sofa.
"Hello... hello." Ji Wen stammered something in Chinese.
August on the side raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
"Hello." Su Chen smiled slightly and replied in Chinese.
Because he knew that Su Chen spoke fluent English, the translator in the room did not take the initiative to speak.
The two introduced each other, and Su Chen listened carefully and nodded constantly.
During this period, Given and August were also quietly sizing up the young man sitting opposite.
He had obviously celebrated a lot, and there were still some traces of champagne on his team uniform.
In the past few months, Ji Wen has been watching JKD's game videos on YouTube, and also watched his performance at the award ceremony after winning the LPL championship.
It has to be said that jkd is indeed the player with the most explosive performance and the most kingly appearance that Ji Wen has seen in recent years.
However, at this moment, he was sitting opposite Given and August, and he looked like a young man studying in college, without the domineering temperament on the field at all.
"Then... let's get started." Ji Wen looked at the watch in his hand and spread out his notebook.
