Chapter 179: Winning the trophy! “Huluwa Live”! Rookie FMVP! [Seeking monthly tickets]

When DRX’s main crystal shattered into a sky full of stars, the audience seats, which had just been on a roller coaster, suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.

The metal frame of the entire venue seemed to be vibrating in cheers!

Fireworks suddenly gushed out of the circular stage, and dry ice mist was wrapped in the neon halo on the scene, rising and interweaving with the golden rain in the air, turning the stage into a grand curtain.

“we are the champion!!!”

Wang Duoduo was excited as he pressed the commentary desk, his tone of voice full of emotion: “2022 World Finals Champion! The final winner belongs to EDG!”

Miller’s chest was shaking constantly, which was enough to show his emotional fluctuations: “DRX almost survived the last wave, but miracles can’t happen again and again! They suffered an unexpected frontal destruction on the final stage!”

“EDG once again showed their dominance in the finals with an unparalleled victory and lifted the World Championship trophy!”

Wawa, whose face was flushed, breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s hard to imagine that when our comrades in the region fell early, EDG fought out of the encirclement of three Korean teams alone and finally won three games in a row!”

“Akali, Flying Thunder God, and Three Cold Shadows’ infinite single kills! A desperate battle on top of the Forbidden City! A desperate fight for the last chance of survival and counterattack”

“There were countless unforgettable battle scenes. I think this final will go down in the history of the S-League!”

Millions of comments instantly turned the live broadcast room into a stuck PPT.

The scene of celebration was like a festive occasion, and even the live broadcast was completely submerged.

【EDG! ! ! 】

[The Golden Era is Coming 8? The first LPL double champion team, is it really the SKT of LPL? 】

[Still in SKT, a little-known fact: since S7, T1’s world championship results are: two failed attempts and three semifinals! The number of semifinals is about to be equal to the number of quarterfinals. At this rate, I think we will only reach the semifinals in this lifetime! ]

[Master Ye is such a supermodel, he will be deified after this final, right? Emperor Ye is here! ]

[No matter what title he has, I can only say that he deserves it! He deserves it! ]

[It’s broken, I’m going to imitate my mother’s most uncomfortable episode, “We’re still champions even if you leave” – the evidence is as strong as a mountain of elimination! Still insisting that it wasn’t stolen last year! ]

[I laughed. Last year, Riot thought that the FMVP would go to the jungler for several consecutive years, so they gave it to the mid laner. As a result, it seems that the mid laner will be the one for several consecutive years this year. I am waiting to see if Riot dares to steal again! ]

[If you dare to steal, you are simply harming others. The other players don’t want to take it, right? The mid laner is really carrying the whole team! ]

Before the crystal exploded, many audience members stood up from their seats unable to contain their excitement.

The thunderous applause and screams filled every corner of the Chase Center, and the roars like a tsunami hit the eardrums.

“EDG! EDG! EDG!”

Tens of thousands of people cheered from the bottom of their hearts for the final winner born under the fireworks.

But when the giant screen at the back appeared the full makeup photo of the five EDG members.

The cheers from the audience suddenly changed without any guidance.

It was as if after seeing that final group photo, everyone’s instinct was awakened, and the ID that was engraved in their minds during these three games.

“YE!”

“YE! ​​YE!”

“YE! ​​YE! YE!”

At first, there were only a few fanatical fans.

But as the people around him spontaneously follow suit, the message spreads from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

It only took a few breaths to change the cheers of the entire audience, and they suddenly became uniform, shouting the same exact name!
The pronunciation of “YE” is very similar for audiences at home and abroad. After all, there is a similar pronunciation to “Yeah” in English.

So at this moment, if someone suddenly comes here, they might hear hallucinations and think they have mistakenly entered a large-scale live-action version of the Calabash Brothers.
No matter what professional game it is.

What is most likely to excite the audience is the astonishing operational performance, the unparalleled decision-making in adversity, and the constant gaming and counterattacks made by both sides based on on-the-spot changes.

Ye Bo undoubtedly achieved all of these, and it can even be said that he achieved things that no one had ever seen before!

The director focuses the camera on the winner.

At the moment of flattening the enemy base, the five players took off their headphones and hugged each other tightly.

At this moment, Ye Bo was not in the mood to pay attention to the flashing golden banner in front of him.

He listened to the thunderous cheers coming from the stands, the shouts about his ID.

He seemed to be able to clearly feel the blood in his heart surging faster.

The dazzling lights from the ceiling seemed to flicker and rotate before my eyes. Everything seemed like a dream at this moment, and even my feet seemed a little lightless.

Everyone who was hugging each other tightly had a smile on their face. It was the satisfaction of victory after going through so many things, the ecstasy after ascending the throne again, and there was even a slight gleam of light in the corners of everyone’s eyes.

And when the EDG players heard the change in the cheers from the crowd.

Jiejie and Saint Spear’s first reaction was to shout with all their might.

“What did you two say?”

The noise made by tens of thousands of people was too outrageous. Without the noise-isolating headphones, even the communication between them at such a close distance was difficult to hear. Ye Bo could only see their mouths shouting.

Jie Jie desperately shook Ye Bo’s shoulders and shouted at his ear: “I’m calling you awesome! What would we do without you!”

Saint Spear didn’t get that close, as if he had thought of something with some emotion, and said to him forcefully: “I said it before, you will definitely win the championship!”

“What? Who ate the sweet potato?”

Mingkai and Maokai ran up from the backstage and rushed onto the stage, hugging everyone excitedly.

When Mingkai and Ye Bo looked at each other, they couldn’t help but rub each other’s big heads hard, with only deep emotion in their eyes.

He seemed to recall the day half a year ago when Ye Bo just arrived at the EDG base.

At that time, he was taking her to visit the base and heading to the dormitory, and Ye Bo suddenly raised his front camera and took the “official selfie” of the two.
At that time, Mingkai would never have thought that this sunny boy who looked a bit optimistic and even a bit abstract would become the person who changed everything this year.

“Boss, my flag is still there! I’m really successful!”

The corners of Mingkai’s mouth, which were originally raised, suddenly stiffened as he thought of something bad.

However, just as he raised his two fingers to knock on his head, they suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He still couldn’t bear to hit this head, so he automatically searched for the enemy in the air and directly locked onto Jiejie who was still chatting and showing off with Saint Spear Brother next door.

“Ouch!” Jiejie cosplayed as Tom Cat: “Boss, what are you doing? You said that if you win the championship, you won’t mind my small account taking away your experience. Are you cheating me?”

Mingkai laughed and scolded, “Stop chatting! Go shake hands quickly, only after shaking hands can you hold the cup.”

After being reminded, everyone quickly stood in a row and left the contestant seats, heading to the opposite contestant platform for the fist-bumping ceremony.

Cameramen immediately appeared around, pointing their cameras at them and following them all the way.

The close-up was projected onto the big screen on site.

The noisy and chaotic sounds coming from all directions were deafening. The EDG fans were all smiling and waving their glow sticks and the black and white Knights flags desperately.

Ye Bo stretched out his hand and grabbed a golden ribbon that floated before his eyes. It looked quite novel to him, and he held it in his hand and observed it carefully as he walked.

“So this is the legendary golden rain.”

The close-up shot of Riot’s official photographer captured this scene perfectly.

The background is a bustling auditorium and a stage with golden rain falling. Ye Bo, bathed in the spotlight, lowered his head slightly, and the hot white light hit his face, reflecting his red cheeks due to excitement.

There is both the youth’s high spirits and the joy and a hint of daze when facing the highest glory.

The live broadcast screen then moved towards the DRX player seat.

Kingen’s eyes were dazed, as if he had overdrawn his strength. He leaned on the seat for a long time and couldn’t get up. It was only when the young player P next to him reminded him that he stood up and bumped fists.

Pyosik, on the other hand, looked the most natural.

Perhaps because not many people had high hopes for him after the semi-finals, he himself felt that reaching the finals was already good enough.

And because the opponent’s mid laner was too eye-catching, it seemed that their jungle area didn’t lose much.
Thinking of this, he was even a little relieved, and his expression showed a sense of relief – but when he noticed the camera’s light, he quickly lowered his face and made a stiff expression of grief.

As for Zeka beside him, he was distraught.

Young General P called him three or four times before he came to his senses.

But Zeka even looked slow and laborious in standing up, his eyes still fixed on the final settlement screen and his own Akali’s terrible performance.

Compared to Sylas, Akali is the hero he is truly best at and most confident in.

For every master with a unique skill, the defeat of a master’s skill, especially a disastrous defeat to an opponent, is definitely a heavy blow that may even “harm the heart of Taoism”.
But when he bumped fists with Ye Bo again.

Perhaps due to the personalities of these assassin players, he did not avoid eye contact like some other players did, trying to deceive and escape the consequences of failure.

But, he met Ye Bo’s eyes with that brilliant smile.

Zeka saw no aggression in the other party and even saw him nodding at him.

Then I thought about the harsh words I said before the game, and the “trophy” team logo that lit up in the last game. Then I thought about the two team logos that all the players lit up when the opponent made the final push.

The tip of his nose seemed to suddenly turn bright red, and he felt a little ashamed for a moment.

Ye Bo didn’t really have too many ideas.

In his opinion, he prefers to fight with players who are willing to fight hand-to-hand than against players like Chovy who would just try to avoid fighting at the slightest disagreement.

After all, anyone can adopt the turtle style, but not everyone has the courage to take risks.

Here comes the final bottom lane duo.

Deft, with red eyes, still forced a smile when he saw the people coming.

On the contrary, Meiko, who was walking in front, put away his excited expression.

The two of them came up to me, and I didn’t know what they said, but then they hugged each other very tightly.

Deft has deep feelings for EDG and has recalled those days countless times in various interviews, besides complaining about the cafeteria with his old teammates.

On the day when the last semi-final match ended, he was also the first to make a video call to celebrate, and he truly hoped from the bottom of his heart that they could make it this far.

Ye Bo knew the experience of the veteran on the opposite side and respected him very much.

At the same time, there is also some yearning.

Because in Ye Bo’s heart, his dream future should be like this, always sticking to what he loves, regardless of winning the championship or not – of course, maybe he has already done this.

“Come on, brother Deft, I hope we can meet again next year!” Ye Bo said in Chinese.

He heard from Meiko that Deft could understand Chinese.

It was just that because of his accent, the culprit Ming Kairui commented that “He speaks Chinese like an idiot!”, which made him shy and rarely speak Chinese actively.

“Yeah.” Deft paused slightly as if he was trying to recall his memory, but it was obvious that he was still a little unfamiliar with it, and could only speak in Chinese with not very standard punctuation.

“You are amazing, really. Congratulations.”

After Ye Bo barely understood, he replied, “You are awesome too! Let’s work hard together and see you next year!”

After saying that, Ye Bo took the initiative to step forward and hug the other person.

Deft was stunned for a moment, then he also raised his hands with a smile.

“It’s just as Meiko said.” After they separated, Ye Bo walked towards Beryl, the last person, and performed a simple fist-bumping ceremony with her.

However, Ye Bo noticed that the look in the other party’s eyes when he saw him paying attention to him during the video call seemed to have changed.

I was curious at first, but now I don’t know what it is.

And Beryl’s inner emotions are indeed very complicated.

On the one hand, he has always been a very Buddhist person, even though he won the runner-up last year, and even last year people said that it was because of him that he failed to win the championship, and he was also ridiculed for “not being able to find a job”.
But on the other hand, we reached the finals for two consecutive years and were runner-up for two consecutive years.

No one would be able to remain calm.

This year in particular is not only the possible last year for his favorite bottom lane teammate, but also the year he truly has a competitive spirit.

The most important thing is that this final brought him too much frustration!
He had never experienced such a feeling of defeat.

The EDG players walked out of the player seats.

The five members of DRX watched each other’s backs, with reluctance, regret, loneliness and many other emotions seeming to intertwine in the air.

Beryl was the first to look away. His personality meant that he was able to move on the fastest and in the most carefree manner.

“Brother Heque”

As Beryl spoke, she noticed that Deft’s body was stained with golden ribbons because he had just hugged two people one after another. That was the place where the players’ seats with a roof would not be affected by the golden rain.

He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to help the other party sweep away those irrelevant things.

But Deft, who was called to turn around, gently raised his hand to stop him.

“It’s okay, just leave it like this, it’s fine.”

This statement seemed to be a double entendre, and Beryl said unwillingly: “Brother He Kui, let’s come back next year! Next year”

“Well, next year.” Deft’s eyes seemed to reveal a hint of confusion: “Let’s talk about next year’s matters next year.”

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the center of the stage again.

The place that was covered by all the spotlights and the place where the Summoner’s trophy that he had been longing for was located.

Center stage.

Ye Bo, wearing the EDG team flag sent by Mingkai, was pushed to the center of the station by everyone. This was the first time he could take a closer look at this thing that all the players dreamed of.

S12 is a relatively special year, both in terms of the Summoner’s Cup.

The “Hood Image” trophy, which has gone through 11 years of wind and frost, was recast this year and turned into a brand-new style handcrafted by the luxury giant. It is different from the previous one in all aspects, as if it were two different things.

The European and American commentators at the scene were still adding fuel to the fire: “Riot officials once said that this year’s recast of the Summoner’s Cup is the beginning of a new era. Maybe that’s not just a slogan. Now we may be witnessing the birth of a new era!”

“Hold the trophy, EDG! Hold up the championship trophy that belongs to you once again!”

Under the light of the dome, the new Summoner’s Trophy shines brightly and attracts everyone’s attention.

Ye Bo’s face was full of smiles, and he couldn’t wait to reach out and touch it.

“Come on, brothers! Hold up the cup, hold up the cup!”

“I yell three, two, one. Three, two, one!”

With the joint efforts of all EDG members, the Summoner’s Trophy was lifted high into the air!

The cheers from the stands instantly soared into the sky!

The spotlights were focused on the EDG players, and their five excited faces became the brightest scenery in this picture.

Ye Bo, who was in the C position, smiled extremely brightly. Every experience and profound meaning along the way turned into an upward arc at the corner of his mouth at this moment.

When Ye Ying in the stands saw this scene, he burst into tears of joy.

Even Ye Xiong was staring quietly towards the stage.

Parents may not understand the game.

But they knew that their children had been longing for this moment for a long time.

The Roaring Emperor only spoke again with difficulty at this time, and in line with his professional ethics as a host over the years, he sent his congratulations to the winner.

“Congratulations to EDG, they really deserve our respect and applause.”

“DRX is our fourth seed, and they have tried their best and done very well.”

“EDG showed their unparalleled dominance with this big win. As the team that performed better in the finals and had better preparations before the game, they really deserved to win the championship.”

CT glanced at the other party secretly. Knowing the Korean online public opinion, he didn’t rush to respond.

He quickly changed the subject and said, “Especially the mid laner YE. We really have to admit that his performance in this BO5 is not exaggerated at all. This is really the first time we have seen a local LPL mid laner perform like this!”

“As for Zeka, his performance in this finals was really unbalanced. I think this year’s Dade Award has already been given to someone.”

The LCK live broadcast room has indeed begun to criticize and was instantly in an uproar over these few paragraphs.

However, it was obvious that many of them came just to watch the fun.

[Shit, Jeon Yongjun, if you want to be a commentator in LPL, you can get out of here right now! Why are you still praising the other team? ]

[It’s so funny. I’m not allowed to tell the truth even though I lost. I can only say that it’s a good thing this is not Korea, otherwise I’m afraid the noise in the library would be too loud and disturb others! ]

[The above comment is wrong. The finals will be held in Korea next year. All I can say is don’t worry. Really don’t worry!]

[Hehe, I said that the entire LCK region is only good at bullying, and we can only rely on T1. The others are unreliable! If T1 comes, they will definitely win. Next year, we will have to rely on our great T1 to defend the country! ]

[What is T1? ]

[Ah, yes, yes, after all, this time all LCK teams had a record of 1-, only T was defeated -! Win!!]

On the stage, the female host sjokz has already walked onto the stage.

“Please congratulate our defending champion EDG once again!”

“Then first, please invite the two co-founders of Riot Games, Tryndamere and Ryze, to present medals to the champions!”

As part of the annual routine, the two founders of Riot Games, one tall and one thin, walked to the center with medals in their hands, smiling as if they were real heroes in the game.

Then it was Ye Boshi’s turn.

After wearing the championship medal, Tryndamere extended his hand and shook it enthusiastically, mumbling something.

What they most want to see is actually a player like Ye Bo.

He is young and has shown a bright future since his debut, making him an extremely suitable candidate to be a “benchmark”.

The last successful example, Lee Sang-hyuk, is now obviously old, and this year it seems that it is even more difficult to continue in the future, and a “successor” is urgently needed.

Previously, the best candidate in their minds was Chovy, which is why he occupied the C position in the S game promotions every year.

But now.
In response to Tryndamere’s mumbling, Ye Bo simply nodded – he couldn’t hear clearly, nor did he quite understand what the other person was saying.

The two then walked to one side.

Sjokz held the microphone and continued with the process.

“The next award to be presented is the FMVP award for this year’s World Finals! It is also the most watched individual award of the entire year, used to recognize the player with the best performance!”

“I believe that everyone has their favorite candidate in mind, so let’s shout out the name in your mind together!”

However, it is the same as what was joked in the live broadcast room before.

There was almost no other sound at the entire scene, which was completely drowned out by a unified shout.

Seeing that the suspense was almost sold out, sjokz opened the envelope and spoke in a serious tone.

“Mid-lane player YE!! Congratulations!”

The other four members of EDG all applauded at the first moment, and pushed Ye Bo, motioning him to take a step forward.

The big screen above the stage showed Ye Bo’s overall statistics in this final.

Each item can only be described as exaggerated to the extreme!

Instantly, the venue erupted in applause.

Even the most demanding audience, even the most skilled players, would find it hard to doubt Ye Bo’s importance to EDG after seeing the rows of luxurious data!
Ye Bo took the FMVP trophy with confidence, raised it vigorously, and waved to the supporters in the stands on all sides.

“Then let us interview our new FMVP!” Sjokz handed the other microphone to Ye Bo.

“As far as I know, this is your rookie year, but you won the finals with a nearly perfect performance and won your first FMVP. What do you think now?”

This is actually a very boring question.

Generally speaking, at times like this, you can only say you’re happy or excited or something like that. What other emotions can you have?
However, Ye Bo picked up the microphone with an expectant look on his face.

“When I was preparing to go pro, my coach asked me what ID I wanted to have.”

“I thought about it for a long time because I really wanted people to remember my ID, but I decided to just use YE, my name.”

“Because someone told me at the time that if I wanted people to remember my ID, I should use it like a professional player.”

“Now, I think I did it!”

In fact, these were the words that Ye Bo came up with himself, and they were what he said to Brother Saint Spear.

However, in a sense, it was indeed the thought that came to his mind when he saw the sentence “So no audience can even remember your ID.”

Today, he is undoubtedly putting his words into practice.

The domestic audience at the scene instantly burst into screams of “YE! YE! YE!” again.

After the translation was conveyed, the foreign audiences immediately followed suit and cheered again!
The scene once again became “Huluwa Live”.

The sound was so terrifying that even the millions of speakers on the scene could not cover it up.
sjokz had to put down the microphone, smiling and waiting for the volume to drop before asking the next question.

“Then the next question is, we know that as a rookie, it is not easy to get to this point, both in terms of mentality and experience. So, is there anything you can share with everyone that has helped you the most along the way?”

Ye Bo raised the microphone again and first thanked the team and teammates without any hypocrisy.

If you look back from the end, you may feel that everything is “natural”.

But from the very beginning, in such a championship team, the trust of teammates and the team is actually equally valuable. It gives him the opportunity to show himself and the opportunity to do things that are difficult to understand.

“There are many people I want to thank, in addition to my teammates, there are also the audience fans who have always supported me!” Ye Bo said with a silly smile.

“In fact, I often sneak a peek at the comments. I’m so happy to see people praising me, hehe.”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the live broadcast room and at the scene burst into laughter.

But everyone can feel the sincerity.

“Of course, my family also supports me. I have the opportunity to pursue my dream because of their support. I think I am very lucky compared to many people!”

“Love you, Mom and Dad.”

“Besides that, there is actually another person, or should I say an old friend.”

“He really helped me a lot, thank you.”
