Chapter 771: I'm actually okay (at the end of the month ask for a monthly pass)
The joys and sorrows of human beings are like the mobile network, which is always connected and sometimes blocked, but it is obviously blocked at this moment.
While everyone in the LCK looked gloomy, their eyes were lifeless, and their thoughts were wandering on the verge of crime, the atmosphere in the LPL game seats was fiery.
The puppy clenched his fists happily and raised them up vigorously, and then gave an excited high-five to Lqs next to him.
Next to them, Rocky and the factory director also hugged each other, their faces quite excited.
They have never experienced a championship in the S game. This year's summer and spring championships were also monopolized by KG.
So all in all, the factory director, Puppy and Rocky, who have been the superstar players of Yusanjia for many years, have not touched any championship trophies this year.
Now at the end of the season, I unexpectedly won a championship, which is still world-class.
Who wouldn’t be excited about this change?
Of course, Lqs was not so excited.
He reservedly high-fived the puppy, then sat down to straighten his bangs - the bangs he just slapped were so messy that he couldn't even see the screen.
I have to say that Lqs's calm demeanor is a bit like that of Li Xiufeng who is drinking water.
The fans in the audience were intoxicated for a while, and they all praised Song Bao for being really like a general.
These fangirls probably don’t know that when Lqs won the S7 finals not long ago, he was as excited as a flying monkey and almost gave Ah Shui a flying blow.
“Wonderful! Really wonderful!”
"Yes, in addition to congratulations to LPL, I also want to congratulate Brother Feng for this year, from the Spring Split to the German Cup, from the Summer Split to the S7 Finals and then to this year's All-Star.
Brother Feng won his S7 Grand Slam. This is also the first professional in our LPL history to achieve this level. It is not an exaggeration to say that it will be recorded in history."
"Well, Brother Feng's Grand Slam today can indeed be recorded in history. Even Puppy and Factory Director at their peak were still one S championship short of a Grand Slam. No one except Faker has ever achieved this step."
"Okay, let's hold the cup for LPL!"
Wow wow shouted loudly at the top of his lungs.
The five LPL players had already shaken hands with the LCK players, and now they and their coaches walked to the All-Star trophy in front of the stage.
"Who comes first?"
"Brother Feng, come first."
"Me? Let's let LPL player No. 001 go first."
"..."
Who is No. 001?
Of course he is the factory director.
The factory director was also a little excited.
Since the MSI the year before last, he hasn’t touched the World Championship trophy for who knows how long!
The puppy watched the factory director hold the trophy, lift it vigorously above his head, face the live director's camera and countless flashing lights, he couldn't help but smile and ask:
"Are you excited? Director."
The factory director took a deep breath, calmed down, smiled and put down the trophy again.
"Well, I'm actually fine."
Next, everyone raised their trophy and faced the camera so that the audience could take pictures.
The last five people lifted the trophy together.
Bang bang bang——!
Once again, there was a burst of enthusiastic applause.
Unlike the S7 finals, this time the All-Stars were held at Jiang Hai’s doorstep.
Most of the people present were Chinese, and the applause almost brought down the ceiling.
Below the stage, the five members of the LCK had packed up their peripherals and left through the player tunnel with their bags on their backs.
Unlike the brightly lit stage, there are no lights here, and the audience rarely notices it.
In the looming darkness, Faker silently walked to the end of the aisle and looked back at the bright lights on the stage behind him.
Walking next to him is Madlife, the "living fossil" of LCK. He will retire next season. This All-Star Game is the last step of his career.
Seeing Faker turn around, Madlife felt a trace of bitterness on his lips and patted Faker on the shoulder.
"How's it going? You're very unwilling, right?"
Faker was startled when he heard this. He turned around purely subconsciously, but he didn't expect to be noticed by Madlife.
After a slight hesitation, Faker's expression quickly returned to normal. He raised his index finger and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I'm actually fine."
Triple crown winner!
The world's best mid laner!
The first person in the league!
Although Faker has received many honors, his growth has not been smooth sailing.
What impressed him most was that just after S3 reached its peak, S4 sank to the bottom.
That year, they were ruled by three stars and twin stars, and they had no harvest for the whole year. He was also considered to be a short-lived shooting star.
And today, everything is so similar.
The unstoppable KG is very much like Samsung in the LPL division. He rose suddenly and swept everything without any warning.
But where is Samsung now?
Faker smiled silently in his heart.
For a player like him who puts everything into the game, it would be boring if everything was smooth sailing along the way.
See you next year.
Well, I hope you are not the next Samsung.
However, Faker's open-mindedness is based on the fact that he is the pinnacle professional player, the number one player in the league, and he is honored in every league game.
He is like a man sitting on the top of a mountain of trophies and honors, looking at the mountaineers who are challenging them, and his mentality will not be affected if he occasionally sees an outstanding one.
But other players are different.
After the game, Smeb and Deft put on pain masks and became pain boys.
Smeb recalled what he said in an interview before the game in order to regain confidence in Korean e-sports, and compared it with the current situation that ended sadly.
Faced with "social death" again, he just wants to find a place to get drunk, cry alone, and quietly reflect on it in the middle of the night...
As for the Korean netizens who had been jumping happily and clamoring to regain the glory of the first division, they were wilting like eggplants beaten by frost.
Fortunately, there are some smart people among Korean netizens. After changing their IDs, they immediately jumped on the Internet and said that All-Star is just an exhibition game.
The LCK went there purely for entertainment. The S7 World Championship was ruined. We, the LCK, will bring it back next season.
Yes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
This kind of statement was immediately followed by the entire Korean network. Various people have different opinions, and seek truth from facts. The All-Star Game is indeed an entertainment game with little gold content.
We don’t care about this kind of champion!
I have to say that Koreans are very good at adjusting their mentality, and they are too harsh in talking before the game.
Do you want to be slapped in the face if you win the game in LPL?
Sauri, as long as I have no face, no one can hit me in the face!
...
After the All-Star Finals ended, there was a celebration as usual and a post-game interview.
In this All-Star Finals, Li Xiufeng had a Jhin, a Kai'Sa, and a Weapon Master, but he didn't seem to be playing seriously.
But after the game, the MVP was still awarded to him. This was also something that the host was very desperate for. If it wasn't for a living, who would want to interview Feng Gou?
"Congratulations to Brother Feng! Congratulations to LPL for winning the All-Star Finals." In the interview seat, Xitong calmed down and smiled with a smile on his face.
"In today's game, which teammate did Brother Feng think performed the best? Does he deserve your thanks?"
This question is a bit tricky. None of the teams are from the same team, and they are all star players with huge fans. It would be unfair to say anything about anyone.
But this could not be troubled by Li Xiufeng. He smiled slightly and said, "Compared to my teammates, my opponents should have performed better. I would like to thank my opponents here for cooperating with us to play such a wonderful game."
Good to drive!
Korean netizens all said that this time the All-Stars have no gold content, and they obviously cannot afford to lose.
Li Xiufeng even held a group interview after the game, and he was afraid that he would be destroyed by a dead rat.
Xitong blinked, thought about it, and felt that this answer was barely acceptable.
"Well, the next question is, today you won the All-Star Championship and achieved the S7 Grand Slam. Is there anything you want to say?" Xitong asked.
"Thank you to my teammates who have been along the way. I am very glad that I have met teammates who are worthy of my trust. I hope it will be the same next year." Li Xiufeng said.
"Oh? Haha, I heard that KG's teammates will change next year. Will this have a certain impact on you?" Xitong continued to ask.
"Well... there are some, but in comparison, I think the impact of the version may be greater." Li Xiufeng replied with a smile.
"..."
The interview is over, but the All-Star game is not over yet.
After the main event, the main event, there are some "desserts" such as all-star solo games and double play.
This was really more entertainment, and the remaining events lasted for two days in total.
In the finals of the All-Star Solo Tournament, Uz1 used the last hit to make up a hundred dollars, defeated Leader An, and won the All-Star Solo Tournament championship for two consecutive years.
As for Li Xiufeng, he was eliminated in the first round of the solo competition. He chose Vayne and insisted on jumping over the stone man's tower. In the last round, he was killed by the tower before his A came out...
At this point, this year-end e-sports event has come to an end.
After the game, Li Xiufeng and Lqs returned to the KG club base in Jianghai. Zuo Zuo and Ah Shui, who had gone home for vacation, also returned. There were also two newcomers Xiao Long Bao and Saofen in the base who had just joined during the transfer period.
Speaking of which, Saofen and Xiao Long Bao have been coming to the club for a while, but they came at the wrong time. At that time, Li Xiufeng and Lqs had already gone to attend the All-Star Game and stayed in the hotel.
Therefore, this time Li Xiufeng and Lqs returned to the club, it was their first meeting. Saofen was both curious and envious of Li Xiufeng, the owner of the club.
He is a jungler from Vietnam, and his purpose in coming to LPL is very simple, that is, gold mining.
It’s true that professional players make money, but Saofen is an ambitious player and thinks that it’s just small amounts of money. He has always dreamed of one day making a lot of money and returning home in glory.
It would be too crazy to say, "I was from Vietnam before, and Vietnam will be mine after I return to China."
But when Saofen looked at Mr. Li, who owned nearly half of the club's shares, his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had found a lifelong goal!
Xiao Long Bao was just promoted from LSPL this year. The two previous seniors, Ling and Xiao Wei, have become the wild kings of LPL.
Looking at the Vietnamese jungler wearing glasses next to him, Xiao Long Bao was full of confidence. He was sure that he would put this idiot next to the water dispenser next season.
This is not some internal fight.
In fact, this is a normal competition mechanism. Only when a team competes can it have motivation and momentum.
On the day Li Xiufeng and others returned to the club, manager Link also convened a meeting, mainly about the transfer period and KG's personnel issues for next season.
In this kind of long table meeting, Li Xiufeng was just a player before, so he must have sat casually.
But things are different now.
Even if he still wanted to sit around, Link, as a professional manager, couldn't let Li Xiufeng sit around.
In the absence of Pei Li, Li Xiufeng finally sat next to Link, who was responsible for presiding over the meeting.
Han Yunlong on the other side recorded that Li Xiufeng seemed to be listening to politics behind the curtain.
The meeting was very brief. Link first recalled Xiaoyao's departure, then welcomed Xiaolongbao and Saofen to join, and finally announced the KG club's plan for next season.
Four words, recruit troops and horses.
KG is very strong this season, but lacks certain changes, and there are no substitutes in several positions.
Sometimes you can't change the system even if you want to, so you can only bite the bullet and rush forward. This is not the way of playing for a mature club.
The only ADC substitute in the team, Loke in the bottom lane, was loaned to JD at the end of the summer split.
Now it's basically "meat buns beating dogs".
Of course, this is just a joke.
Mainly, Loke is also very compatible with JD. He even almost helped JD enter the World Championship. Of course, he wants to make a sprint from the beginning this season.
KG's plan for next season is to recruit substitutes for every position except Li Xiufeng on the road. Currently, he is already in contact with several suitable candidates.
After the meeting, Lqs notified everyone and asked everyone to go out to the restaurant at noon.
Li Xiufeng's heart moved after hearing this.
Sure enough, Lqs, who was delayed due to the All-Star event, decided to join FXP with Xiaoyao after a long period of consideration.
Li Xiufeng was already prepared for this.
Lqs joined KG in the spring split. After a summer split, his performance cannot be said to be outstanding, but this time he won the S7 World Championship and finally showed his worth.
If you continue to stay in KG, the contract may not change too much, and only FMVP can make a qualitative leap.
But as FXP is a team that wants to make a big splash next season, if they buy Lqs, the champion support player, they will have to pay a huge premium in transfer fees and signing fees.
Then this is undoubtedly a win-win choice for both the commercial club and Lqs himself.
Halfway through the meal, Xiaoyao, who had moved to the FXP club, also received a phone call. He had moved to the FXP club during the All-Star season.
At the dinner table, Xiaoyao was as rude as ever. Taking advantage of Lqs's table, he thought of inviting the big guys along, but he was held down and blasted by everyone.
Looking at the crowd of "men on top of men" at the dinner table, Saofen and Xiao Long Bao in the corner of the dinner table suddenly realized, is this the team culture of the new team?
Love it, love it.
...
After sending away Xiaoyao and Lqs one after another, the LPL winter transfer window only has one month, and the KG club has begun to make great strides in recruiting players.
Don’t say anything else at the moment,
One of the assistants must be called back first.
Otherwise, when the S8 Spring Split starts, they will have no support here.
But support is not that easy to find.
Excellent Juju view, certain commanding ability, and cooperation with AD... These are all indispensable, and Ah Shui, as the person involved in the bottom lane, urged him more than once.
However, Ah Shui also secretly asked Li Xiufeng in private. Mayumi, the Brazilian female assistant during the All-Star Game this time, said in an interview that she admired Brother Feng very much and said that she would consider coming to the LPL next season.
Is this true?
Li Xiufeng really doesn't know this yet.
But after looking at Ah Shui's small body, he still advised him not to think too much. If that "horse corn" really came, Ah Shui might not be able to keep up with his nutrition.
Li Xiufeng finished chatting with Ah Shui.
Early the next morning, as the late autumn weather turned cooler, Li Xiufeng put on a thick sweater, held the heated Nutritional Express on his phone, and sat on the computer to sip it.
Suddenly, he felt someone coming in from outside, so he turned around to look, but his face couldn't help but be slightly startled.
