Chapter 367 A Shui: If I had known, I would not have stepped down
[KZ? IG actually chose KZ! 】
[Oh my God, this is trying to block KZ in the top four!]
[What kind of hatred or resentment? You want to kill KZ in the semifinals? 】
[What should I do if I overturn? This is LCK’s BO5 after all!]
...
The audience in the audience were shocked when they heard Chen Yu's words.
They never expected that IG would choose LCK's strong rival KZ as their opponent in the knockout stage instead of choosing FNC from Europe.
You know, even though IG won the World Championship last year on behalf of the LPL with an invincible momentum, the LCK is still a top division that cannot be underestimated.
Many people feel that this year's World Championship will still be a battle between the LPL and LCK.
Even with this MSI, everyone thinks that there is a high probability that IG and KZ will meet in the finals.
Who would have thought that IG would directly choose LCK in the semi-finals.
This is shocking news to everyone.
Even everyone in KZ who had already entered the player channel and was about to arrive in the lounge stopped when they heard the news, quickly returned to the competition field, and looked at Chen Yu on the stage with incredulous eyes.
"Xiba, are they crazy? Do you really think we can't defeat them?"
Little Peanut had an angry look on his face.
As we all know, the key to choosing an opponent is to pick the weak ones.
IG's move undoubtedly tells everyone that KZ is the so-called soft persimmon.
"I must beat them Smecta! I must!"
The man's face was also extremely gloomy.
He originally planned to seek revenge from IG in the finals, but he didn't expect that IG would take the initiative to choose them in the semi-finals.
In this way, both teams have no way out!
If IG loses, it will become a laughing stock after all.
It is undoubtedly arrogance to fail to beat the opponent you actively selected.
But if they lose to KZ and become the first LCK semi-finals in LCK history, what a humiliating record it will be.
He will be nailed on the pillar of shame by LCK fans and scolded for many years.
...
"are you sure?"
In the center of the stage, the blonde female host took a long time to come back to her senses and confirmed to Chen Yu with some hesitation.
Even standing next to Chen Yu, she couldn't believe it.
"I am sure!"
Chen Yuzi expresses it in English with a straight tone.
"Okay! Thank you, player Chen Yu!"
The blonde female host smiled, with unconcealable joy on her face.
Their FNC in Europe is ranked fourth, and they are already prepared to be selected as weak persimmons by IG.
With the strength shown by IG now, there is a high probability that FNC will fail in the semi-finals.
After all, IG is too strong.
But IG actually gave them a big gift and took the initiative to choose KZ, who seemed to be stronger, and let them go.
This gives FNC the possibility of looking forward to a higher ranking.
Why not make them overjoyed?
...
Chen Yu came down from the stage and attracted everyone's attention.
The eyes of everyone present followed him, and you could even feel the fiery gazes projected from the contestant tunnel on the other side.
That was the glare of everyone in KZ.
Ah Shui and others walked up to Chen Yu and stood side by side with him, sharing everyone's strange looks, as if declaring: This is not Chen Yu's decision alone, but a decision made by everyone at iG together with him!
"Damn it, I should have grabbed this opportunity to show my face! The look in the audience's eyes and their admiration just now was really true!"
Several people walked into the player tunnel together, and Ah Shui couldn't help but said in an exaggerated tone.
When Chen Yu announced on the stage that their chosen opponent was KZ, the whole audience was in an uproar and then cheered again.
Almost everyone admires IG’s courage and boldness.
He actually chose his biggest competitor in the semi-finals.
"What a big deal, I just think that if you want to win the championship anyway, you may have to be late. Isn't it different if you play early and late? And in recent years, haven't we been done enough by their LCK?"
When Chen Yu heard this, he was calm and calm, as if he just went on stage to state a fact, rather than uttering any bold words to declare war.
"That's right. We have been suppressed by the LPL these years. We have had enough of being looked down upon. It's time to make up for it and come back."
King Ning on the side also nodded when he heard this.
Before the rise of IG, the LPL faced the LCK in key promotion matches for many years. Unfortunately, the top four and eight teams often failed to reach the finals.
It claims to be the second major competition area, but it has been looked down upon at home and abroad.
Because the results in other divisions are not much worse than LPL.
Although the strength was indeed not as good as the LCK at that time, there was nothing to say about being defeated by a sniper.
But now that LPL has become stronger and IG has become stronger, then sniping LCK will naturally stop everyone's mouths!
Ning Wang is a straight-tempered person with a strong sense of honor in the competition area. He was the first to support Chen Yu's decision.
"A kind of plant! I shouldn't have come down just now and just announced it on the stage! It's me who should be the one doing the limelight!"
Ah Shui also sighed after hearing this.
If Chen Yuzao had told him that he would choose KZ in the semi-finals, he would not have stepped down after the interview, but would have directly announced it.
At that time, those eyes of admiration and admiration will be yours.
After KZ is eliminated in the semi-finals, his number of fans will soar further.
You must know that in the team, Chen Yu alone has more fans than the three players in the middle and lower fields combined.
Even if we include the fans of the most popular top laner Jasha, they are only about the same number as Chen Yu’s fans.
It can be said that nearly half of IG’s fan base is attracted by Chen Yu, which shows how terrifying Chen Yu’s commercial value is.
Ah Shui even heard more than once that the manager approached Chen Yu to discuss commercial endorsements, and it was a solo endorsement.
However, they were all rejected by Chen Yu.
He said that he will not discuss advertising contracts during the competition, and that the five members of IG are one. If he wants to be endorsed, he will accept group endorsements. He will never go solo.
This made Ah Shui both touched and envious.
At the same time, I am also worried about the number of fans I have.
With the further development of the e-sports industry, the commercial value of star players is no less than that of ordinary entertainment stars.
The number of fans is equivalent to commercial value.
Who doesn't want to have greater value?
"Don't worry about this bit of mosquito meat! If we can win the championship this time, you will be the youngest world champion in LPL. Are you afraid that you will have no fans at that time?"
Chen Yu smiled and comforted.
I was already 18 years old when I debuted last year, and I was almost 19 when I won the S7 world championship.
But Ah Shui is only seventeen years old this year. If he wins the world championship, he will surpass Chen Yu and become the youngest world champion in the LPL.
This gimmick is enough for Ah Shui to gain a large number of fans.
You must know that the famous Uzi's peak was the world runner-up at the age of seventeen, and he is still praised by everyone today.
This is also an honor that gives Ah Shui a chance to surpass Uzi.
Upon hearing this, Ah Shui immediately understood what Chen Yu meant.
Now he is known as the successor of Uzi and the future No. 1 ADC in LPL.
Whether it is his negative fans or true fans, they all hold him to Uzi's standards, and he naturally hopes to surpass Uzi.
The thought of winning the first world championship in his career soon made Ah Shui extremely excited.
After a while, the jealousy of Chen Yu coming to power was forgotten.
