Chapter 188 Compromising reality is easy, but chasing dreams is difficult
Chapter 188 Compromising reality is easy, but chasing dreams is difficult [First update]
Put on the K1 team uniform and arrange the collar and cuffs carefully.
K1's team uniform is very simple. There are no advertisements on the jacket. It is blue and white with a black K1 logo.
The K1 icon was designed by LeTV at the time and was designed by the most famous calligraphy master in China. It is a silver hook and iron painting, which is very beautiful.
Putting down the cuffs that he had arranged, Xu Ruoguang raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.
The young man's expression was dull, but his sharp eyes could not be concealed.
Under the slightly messy broken hair, the corners of the mouth were slightly raised.
"not bad."
Xu Ruoguang commented to himself, then turned to look at Ah Shui, who had gotten up unusually early.
"are you ready?"
Ah Shui put on his coat, jackeylove's ID flashed,
He smiled and said, "Yeah."
"gone."
After walking out, under the guidance of coach KKoma, everyone took a makeup photo.
godv and scout were back to back, looking sideways at the camera.
Ah Shui and Hirano Ling were laughing and joking, standing on one side.
The feeling of high spirits came out all of a sudden.
Little Peanut put his hands on Xu Ruoguang's shoulders, showing a happy smile.
kkoma smiled and stood aside holding his tactical notebook.
Xu Ruoguang stood in the center, putting his hands in his pockets and smiling.
S6,K1.
2016.10.22.
Ready, let’s go!
Jiang Xiaobai, an ordinary LPL fan.
She followed the guide and stepped into Madison Square Garden step by step.
The moment he entered the venue, Jiang Xiaobai immediately felt the strong atmosphere.
Cheers soared to the sky, and the crowd was buzzing.
Fans with K1 on their faces and fans with ROX on their faces hate each other, and each has its own area.
Finding his seat, Jiang Xiaobai sat down with anticipation.
Beside me, K1 fans chattering around have already started a heated discussion.
"K1 should be fine today, right?"
"Believe me in Brother Guang, Brother Guang will be fine."
"We have reached the semi-finals of the global finals twice in a row. This achievement is already considered outstanding among all professional League of Legends players, but I still hope that Brother Guang can win the championship."
"Alas, it's a pity that after this year's competition, K1 will be disbanded."
"……yes."
Jiang Xiaobai listened quietly and suddenly spoke.
"It's actually pretty good, isn't it?"
"As long as they can try their best, parting will be nothing more than this."
"It's okay to say that, but I still feel a little grudge."
A female fan sighed.
Jiang Xiaobai understood her very well because she was not willing to give in at first.
She only started watching games this year. K1 has experienced a lot along the way, and it is her original intention in e-sports.
Such a team moved her so much and encouraged her.
However, there is no solution to K1's problem.
Fans seem to be unable to do anything except regret.
"Teams like K1... may never exist again."
Jiang Xiaobai inhaled slightly to eliminate these complicated thoughts from his mind.
Anyway, enjoy watching the game.
Fans on the barrage were obviously more impatient.
"Open the door, damn it, the betta is gone?"
"Come on, come on, come on, Brother Guang, give me a hard kill today!"
"The LPL's last hope, my hope!"
"K1 go, go, go!"
Even Kangba, who has always been against the evil and crazy people, is also cheering and encouraging today.
"K1 kill me hard!"
"If there is any LPL team that can win the championship, I can only think of K1!"
"Come on K1, don't leave any regrets!"
As for those haters?
I didn't dare to show my head at all.
Today's bar owner is killing fish everywhere, as long as one appears, it will be ten rounds.
Backstage, the members of K1 and ROX had already met.
Xu Ruoguang's eyes met smeb's immediately, without paying too much attention.
But smeb was a little unhappy.
What's going on with his indifferent attitude?
In smeb's eyes, Xu Ruoguang has always been his most important opponent, and this has always been the case from S5 to now.
He originally thought that he should be Xu Ruoguang's more important opponent, but he didn't expect that Xu Ruoguang said nothing at all.
The two teams' eyes subtly passed by each other and parted.
Standing on the stage, Xu Ruoguang looked up at the pre-match promotional video that had started playing in the center of the venue, with a calm expression.
Brother Guang was so calm, and Scout and Ah Shui also calmed down.
This is the core example.
In the chaotic streets of New York, ROX's assistant Grella was the first to appear on camera.
He raised his eyes to look at the moving crowd, and the interview sound sounded off-screen.
"There is no doubt about the strength of K1. MSI defeated SKT. They are the opponents we must face if we want to go to the finals."
"But no matter how strong we are, we still have reasons to go to the finals."
"If ROX fails to win the championship this year, it will only face the fate of disbandment."
"We want to break it."
Looking at the translation of the barrage, some viewers who don’t follow LCK were surprised and wondered, what’s going on?
Why does ROX have to disband?
Brother Youdong began to explain:
"Because ROX's capital chain is also broken, if it doesn't win the championship, there may be no sponsorship, and the final result will be dispersion."
But that's not actually the case.
From God's perspective, the answer to this question is already obvious.
Because it was not until the 2018 Spring Split that ROX completely disappeared.
ROX has money, but it is not enough to pay the salary of ROX's five-man team in 2016. This is the most critical thing.
According to smeb Song Kyung-ho after his retirement, the reason for disbandment was vulgar.
"Actually, when the five of us got together, it was because we liked the ROX team, not for financial reasons. But after playing like this for two years, everyone felt that we still had to make some money."
"This is a problem that each of our team members have to face, so in the end we jointly decided to part ways."
"You asked me what would happen if we played together for another year? I think we should be able to play very well, and we might still become a strong contender for the world championship."
Money is a bastard, if you don't have it, make it again.
However, the treatment of Korean players is far from as high as in LPL.
ROX players are already very persistent. They have been playing for two full years, and they still persist even though the club has no money.
But two years later, they still had no choice but to succumb to reality.
How long is the career of a professional player?
Ordinary professional players are so cruel after less than one year.
If you play poorly, you can go directly to the bench and spend the rest of your life in the secondary league.
Excellent professional players live a little longer, but they only last five or six years. After five or six years, every additional year is supported by professional players' desire for championships.
Because no one is eighteen years old forever, but there are people who are eighteen years old forever.
You are 25 years old, can you still react against an 18-year-old player?
Funny.
That’s why so many people are boasting about Dafei.
His remarks are indeed harsh, but the history books cannot cancel his achievements.
Debuted in S3, won three championships, and entered the World Championship in S12.
This result definitely shows that his career is successful enough.
Da Fei is a loser, but the champion is still a real winner.
Back to the topic, ROX players also know very well that their career will last six or seven years at most.
So after wasting two years, it is normal that the last effort failed and disbanded.
Because they can no longer waste time.
"Another K1?"
"Don't be embarrassed, K1 has to disband even if it wins the championship."
"What if a big boss can afford it?"
"How funny? Brother Guang alone can afford two bottom teams."
The screen has switched to Hirano Aya.
Hirano Aya stood on the overpass, holding on to the escalator.
In the voice-over, he said calmly,
"We also entered the World Championship once, and that time we were also the No. 1 seed, but ended up in the top 16."
"I once thought that my career would probably go downhill from now on, and finally quietly announced my retirement one afternoon."
"Thank you, Brother Guang, for saving me."
"Because of Brother Guang, I must win this time."
"Because I want to be worthy of him."
Backstage, Xu Ruoguang looked at Hirano Aya next to him with some surprise.
"I didn't expect this."
"Brother Guang, I'm just telling you the truth."
Hirano Aya smiled.
"Okay, thank you for the compliment, I have to give it a C now."
Xu Ruoguang chuckled and rubbed his wrist.
The camera has cut to pary.
rat king, pary.
He leaned against New York's iconic statue and looked squarely at the camera.
"Many people think that my mice are very strong, but their skin is imp."
"I will carve my mark on the mouse and find my lost glory."
Ah Shui appeared.
He gestured yes to the screen with a bright smile.
"The final is where I want to go. No matter how strong the opponent is, I will win."
"If ROX is the one blocking the road, I will let them know who is the final protagonist."
Backstage, Ah Shui had already begun to swear, "I really didn't think so. The director asked me to say that!"
Xu Ruoguang nodded noncommittally, who knows?
Although the director will put forward some opinions, the contestants are not actors, so whether they listen or not is another matter.
According to Xu Ruoguang's understanding of Ah Shui, he is indeed very good at times.
Damn it, Hanbok ID Youcheng Judai, you still say you are not a middle school student?
The old days are crazy.
Next, naturally, it’s the mid laners on both sides.
kuro,Han Hu.
He is also a solid mid laner.
However, the play style is stable, and the trash talk session cannot be stable.
"Whether today's opponent is godv or scout, it is not a problem for me. I will let them know who is qualified to go to the end."
"A former substitute mid laner for SKT and a top 16 mid laner in the World Championship."
"Just them trying to beat me? Huh?"
Scout's counterattack was brief.
“I don’t know what’s so cool about a mid laner who doesn’t have this guy in the LCK.”
The meaning is very simple, without teammates you would be useless.
Aren't you just a bastard?
Hey, what are you so proud of?
godv's profanity skills are also pretty good.
"No matter who it is, they can't beat you."
Xu Ruoguangrui, who was backstage, commented, "It's too bad. The aggression needs to be improved and the quality needs to be lowered."
godv scratched his head, "Isn't this cruel enough?"
"You should imagine your opponent's reverse Q taunting you, Viagra."
Ah Shui made a suggestion and godv looked at him sideways.
"Why do I feel like you are mocking me right now?"
Although it has been so long, Wei Shen is almost not affected much by the reverse Q.
But that didn't stop him from suspecting that Ah Shui was hiding from him.
Ah Shui looked upright, "How is that possible? I have always been I Wei."
"Yeah?"
"Isn't it?"
"Haha, it's still exposed that you are a Wei Hei, and I'm trying different ways to blackmail you Viagra."
godv sneered, he didn't believe it.
Return to i Wei, almost done.
Next, it’s time for ROX’s jungle performance to crash.
As a player who replaced the original Peanut, his performance in the summer split was very good.
The two people have very similar styles.
"If you asked me who Peanut was a year ago, I might not know, but now, I can at least remember his name."
"Although I can't survive in the LCK, I can still make a name for myself in the LPL."
"Of course, you can't compare to me."
Crash is crazy, this is also the common view among LCK viewers.
Peanut is fierce?
It’s just that he hasn’t met a truly powerful LCK jungler.
It turns out that Little Peanut is unknown in the LCK. Doesn’t that mean that he can’t keep up with the strength of the LCK?
Now it's just a bad guy who went to a bad competition area, and then was outshone by the LPL junglers who were even better.
Little Peanut still has a shy smile.
"You are better than the LPL jungler."
Peanut is a person who cares about relationships very much. Even though he has only been playing in the LPL for a year, there are many LPL players who have good relationships with him.
Now that he is fighting for the LPL, it is naturally impossible for Little Peanut to watch him humiliate his friends.
Little Peanut even planned to introduce his friends to the LCK audience after the World Championship.
The name is "Little Peanut and His Friends".
Then introduce them one by one.
Cheese Ming Kai.
Cheese pot.
Brother Cheeselight.
"Brother Guang, don't you think it's cool? I think this is so cool and fits my idea of a friend."
"Peanut shut up."
Xu Ruoguang helplessly held his forehead.
Little Peanut can be funny occasionally.
Finally, of course it’s the top laners on both sides.
smeb was the first to attack.
"Emperor, some people say he is the top five top laners in South Korea. I admit that I have never won against him in the past, but it is definitely not today."
"In the LPL, his strength has declined and his dominance is no longer what it used to be."
"It's too easy to defeat him now."
The camera cuts to Xu Ruoguang,
"I don't know where smeb got his confidence. Maybe it's because he hasn't been beaten for so long."
"It doesn't matter, I will let him recall the past."
Simple and clear, consistent with Xu Ruoguang's style.
I love the barrage, Brother Guang’s sexy talk is always okay.
"He is so crazy, I like him so much."
"Wu~ This is Brother Guang!"
"Damn it, everyone, iguang, gather here!"
"Brother Guang, slap me hard in the face!"
"Light, light, light, light, light!"
The promotional video is over, and it’s time for the main protagonist to take the stage.
Tonight, who is the protagonist?
Xu Ruoguang's eyes were light, he shook off the non-existent dust on his coat, and was the first to walk onto the stage.
Suddenly, crazy cheers broke out.
The spotlight came over, and under the white light, the young man looked like jade.
At this moment, the world is focused on him!
