Is it the series of humiliating numbers in S6? Or the despair of two consecutive quarterfinals?
Is it the final word from Tetsuo and the loss of his career, or is he waking up from a dream and accepting failure calmly?
Is it to use up all the power but lose the Bird's Nest and look back with tears, or to give AD+C but be abandoned by the times?
It’s the young God who failed to foresee himself at his peak. It’s the reason why he holds back his tears in every world competition and witnesses the failures again and again!
In fact, you have long forgotten those regrets, but what you can't accept is your youth that is gradually passing away.
…
Game day.
This time I didn't let the alarm clock wake me up. The morning sun in Rio de Janeiro seemed to be no different except that its position was reversed from home.
If you don't open the curtains after staying up all night, it will be a comfortable experience when the sun shines on you.
"Semifinals, win!"
Washing his face with water, Lin Huan said to himself in the mirror.
Yesterday's training was very satisfying for everyone. It doesn't mean the training results, but it should be said that I felt at peace when I saw all seven people in the training room.
Wearing team uniforms and simply putting on a coat outside, it is not considered cold at this time, but players must still pay attention to avoid unnecessary illness during the game.
The competition venue was visited yesterday when Riot Games took them to shoot a promotional video. The venue cannot be said to be excellent, but it is definitely as good as Rio de Janeiro.
The person who took everyone to the venue was an experienced local driver from Brazil. In his own words, he was the kind of driver who could bypass several potholes on the road with his eyes closed.
Of course, Mika didn't have the guts to let the other party try his driving skills.
Since the departure time was relatively early, they would not have the energy to wait for the competition. Xiye and the others lay down on the bus after having some breakfast but not daring to eat too much.
Xiye and Kangdi, who usually like to fight and fight, were head to head. The funniest thing was that they were drooling and they didn't even notice. Mika calmly took a picture of their ugly faces, probably.
It is reserved as a tool to change the topic when encountering any public relations crisis.
Sixth child!
The first thing that came to Lin Huan's mind was a word that became popular in later generations. Didn't Mika take photos while he was asleep and unconscious?
Seeing AD staring at her phone with suspicious eyes, Mika looked out the window, looking at the coastline and the nearly 40-meter-high statue of Jesus that could only be seen in the daytime.
Those open arms are like the unique enthusiasm of Brazil, welcoming souls and bodies from all over the world.
"Young men, may the blessing of the Lord bring you victory!" When getting off the bus, the bus master stretched out his right hand and said in a very handsome gesture.
The Latin language with local characteristics made the accompanying guy stunned.
Lin Huan responded with the same accent in the eyes of the team translator, "Thank you!"
WE's translation work is too difficult...
"Wow, there are so many great COS bosses!" Kandi sighed.
As soon as he got off the bus, Mr. Kang was almost blinded by the magnificent scene in front of him.
Su Hanwei rolled his eyes at the other party, "So many and so big? How big are they?"
"Ahem, it's just a few Magnana Trench."
With a dry cough, Lin Huan walked forward calmly, as if the words he just said did not come from his mouth.
Mensao!
Su Wangzi complained in his heart.
How could those fans who were screaming for him think that the handsome and powerful Luster in their eyes would be a sultry man.
As soon as we left the parking spot outside the stadium, a group of fans wearing WE uniforms suddenly came over.
Mika told them their origins with a smile.
Is he actually a die-hard fan who followed the group stage all the way from China to Rio de Janeiro?
Hearing this, Lin Huan and others certainly would not refuse fans' requests for autographs and photos, "When we win the finals and get the championship trophy, I will treat you to a big dinner."
Lin Huan said this after receiving the small doll gift from the other party.
The tall female fan happily responded, "Okay, okay, Aguang, then we have decided that we will eat Brazilian barbecue when we win the championship."
"no problem!"
"Barbecue? We want to eat too!!!" Xiye and Kandi came over immediately.
The eyes of both sour lemons were red.
How come the two of them were big-ass, tough-as-nails buddies, but now you are a soft girl with a beautiful voice and a sweet voice?
While they were signing autographs and taking pictures, some fans from Brazil or other competition regions followed them one after another. Worried about the crowds gathering, Redmi took a photo of Mr. Kang, who was unable to extricate himself from the compliments.
Indicate that it's time for the other person to leave.
Looking ahead, Lin Huan and others were almost reaching the door of the staff passage.
Kandi screamed strangely: "Oh shit, how could you lose the jungler!"
"Selling the jungler without saying a word is too much!"
"I just lost my way in life. After all, the Mariana Trench is too wide."
Kandi explained as he walked, even though his arrogant smile made him look darker and darker.
Hey, why did you stop?
When he came to the gate, Emperor Kang saw everyone stopped and rushed behind them in two steps at a time.
Sure enough, I still love your jungler dad very much. Without your old father who worked so hard to provide resources in the game, how could you grow.
"Yo, we're here to cheer you on!"
A big nose suddenly appeared in sight.
The reason why I stopped was precisely because of the people in front of me.
Ruofeng, Strawberry, Curly Hair, and Mingkai!!
The Jarhead young man's eyes were wandering and he was a little embarrassed. Comrade Ruofeng, who had a "high emotional intelligence", pushed him and then walked to the front, "You have entered the semi-finals, right? Mr. Pei said that you will play in the semi-finals and finals.
Come cheer you up."
"Hey, in the past, I was still coy about the old things. It would be great if Smile can continue to play games for us old bones. You haven't even entered the EDG World Championship, so don't have any burden." Ruofeng.
Laughed.
Several old WE members behind him also laughed. After all, so much time has passed and everyone has already given up. Being able to come to Brazil to cheer for WE is the best proof.
Curly's eyes turned to Lin Huan: "Take it easy and let Smile play two more games."
Hearing this, several other people also laughed and said: "If Gao Xuecheng, an old man, gets tricked on the field, Ah Guang, you have to transform in time, otherwise you will be scolded if you are caught up in two rounds."
"You guys, you're going to curse people while I'm on the field, right?"
"I'm in good condition. It won't be a problem to win another championship with you."
"Hey, brothers, it's time to start pretending. We'll form a Sunset Red team next year. Let's see if we can enter the LSPL first, shall we?"
Fans on the roadside were already screaming because of the meeting between two generations of WE members. Mika was very aware of marketing accounts and self-media, and silently took a photo of Curly and Lin Huan shaking hands.
Titled "Times must move forward, WE's red flag is passed on!"
"On the MSI game day, we were at the entrance of the competition venue. On the way to the dynasty, the wind and rain that had always existed disappeared, because behind WE, stood a group of people who had helped us hold up an umbrella in the dark ages.
man."
"I thought of many nouns, but only the word "bond" is the most appropriate."
"Just the bond will be passed on to the next generation!"
Send on Weibo!
Soon, when Lin Huan and others entered the competition venue, fans far away in China received the "family photo". WE fans burst into tears, and some sensitive fans even shouted on Weibo to express their gratitude.
They come back.
However, everyone knows that smile is an exception, and others can no longer go back.
The cramped feeling of the Jarhead boy in the picture is vividly expressed by Mika's lens, and there is even a text for it, "The child who is looking for the road ahead alone will never forget the direction of home."
Originally, this sentence with special meaning would bring some rhythm, but it ended abruptly after Ed Zhu took the initiative to leave a message on WE Weibo.
"Bring EDG's share and bring back the championship!"
…
As a former Olympic venue, the MSI competition venue seemed extremely spacious. The sound of nearly tens of thousands of people cheering together shocked the WE players who entered from the backstage.
“A long-lost feeling!”
Smile stood blankly at the entrance of the passage and looked towards the auditorium in the stadium, and subconsciously let out a sigh.
how long?
I can’t remember the last time they entered the finals, and there seemed to be no cheering voices from around them.
"They're cheering us on!"
"Cheering for the MSI semifinals team."
957 patted Smiling's shoulder. As the only remnant of two eras in the team, he was deeply touched.
Lin Huan is not surprised by the fanatical e-sports atmosphere in Brazil. In addition to the audience, some old friends from the CBLOL competition area also came to the scene. They perfectly integrated into the role of the audience, which naturally created a lot of atmosphere.
Just like football, injecting enthusiasm into the sport you like is the innate talent of the Selecao.
Lin Huan shook his head and enjoyed the carnival at the scene.
"Although the Flash Wolves' hard power is not as good as ours, we can't take it lightly. Don't give them a chance. The victory in the semifinals must be ours." Hongmi said while doing pre-match analysis.
The others looked at the tactical board and nodded.
They have not wasted a day in the semi-finals that are about to begin. Everyone agrees that they will go all out. Facing the winners of SKT and G2, hiding tactics will be fun if they accidentally hide it as a plane ticket. Therefore, it is Kang Xi who likes to make trouble the most.
The team sat quietly on their chairs and listened to the coach's instructions.
"Brother Legs, are you really not nervous about playing in the World Championships with just a pot?"
From the knockout rounds to now, Jiang Chenglu asked curiously after clearly reaching the semifinals.
"nervous?"
"During the World Championships last year, the four of us were nervous and we didn't see him nervous. If that doesn't work, you can just imitate him and brush the Tickle Rat Yuhun before the game." Jiuwuqi responded with a smile.
Across the table, Jiang Chenglu could clearly see the changes in the expression on Lin Huan's face. Apart from the thoughtful look on his face as he considered tactics, it seemed as if there was no trace of nervousness about the competition in this man of his age.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
“Welcome to the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational, this is Brazil versus Rio de Janeiro!!!”
Outside the lounge, the host roared with all his strength.
Will you be nervous?
Facing the upcoming game, Jiang Chenglu asked in his heart.
