Chapter 180: The world’s number one mid laner for one day! They are all MVPs! [Seeking monthly votes]

The middle-aged woman in the audience wiped her eyes, while the man next to her pretended to be blinded by the wind and sand.

In addition to the two parties involved, many people are also speculating who the “person who cannot be told” that Ye Bo wants to thank is.

After all, I have already thanked my teammates and family members. Could it be an opponent?

“Brother Xianghe, he’s not talking about you, is he?” Aunt Yoshi felt that the atmosphere in the base was a bit depressing and joked.

“Don’t be so conceited.” Li Xianghe replied calmly: “We didn’t win the game.”

“It’s such a pity for Hekui brother, ah,” Keria, Deft’s old teammate, said with regret, and couldn’t help but sigh again: “I don’t know if I will have the chance to stand in that position in my life.”

After losing in the group stage, the T1 team has been holding their breath and looking for revenge in the following games – after all, this was a defeat that broke their team’s record!
They actually analyzed a lot of things about DRX after the semifinals, and they also believed that if they had to do it again, they would definitely have a chance to win, as long as they banned the Aatrox.
But after seeing EDG’s performance in the finals, the five members of T1 couldn’t help but ask themselves.

If, in the end, they are the ones standing on that stage, can they do better than DRX?
“There will be a chance.” Li Xianghe gently patted his assistant’s shoulder: “There will be a chance. We will do better next year.”

Although Lee Sang-hyuk has tasted countless failures over the years.

But they were eliminated in the semi-finals, and were unable to meet again in person to complete their revenge, nor were they able to step onto that honorable competition stage again.

How could he not feel sad? He might even feel sadder than his young teammates.

He also wanted to fight back.

“Next year, we must take revenge!” Oner looked full of ambition.

“Who are you seeking revenge on? They may not even be in the same team next year,” Aunt Yosi joked.

“Then keep an eye on this mid laner! The core of their team is obviously the mid laner anyway. At worst, we can just kill our way through and win every time!”

Oner was bragging while hugging Zeus who was standing beside him without saying a word.

The latter was staring blankly at the live broadcast screen.

Zeus’s mood was more complicated than that of all his teammates. His fist hidden under the table was clenched silently.

You know, before the start of this year’s World Championship, Ye Bo and Zeus have always been compared and are also called the “Rookie Duo” of the two major regions.

After all, the two are indeed very similar. Both have just turned 18, both are in their first year on the professional stage, and both have received attention and expectations from the entire region since their debut.
Before the World Championship, it was clear that Zeus had the upper hand – after all, they had proven themselves in international competitions like MSI.

But who would have thought.

Throughout the World Championship, Ye Bo was indeed the core of the team. He lived up to the attention and expectations of the outside world and pulled the team back from the brink of disaster countless times.

On the other hand, Zeus was hit by the opponent’s top laner in the most crucial BO5. It is no exaggeration to say that he was basically like Zeka at this moment!
Comparing the two together now, they seem a little awkward.

Zeus looked at the person on the live broadcast screen, the scene of failure kept flashing back in his mind, and his eyes gradually became firm.

“I’ll catch up with him next year!”

Li Xianghe, who was sitting next to him, heard this, turned his head to look at him, and said nothing else. Instead, he turned around and greeted Bengi.

“Brother Xingxiong, is their first-person video out?”

“Director, can I go backstage to get a cell phone?”

Ye Bo and his teammates finished the simple on-site trophy-raising ceremony and, at the prompting of the staff, did not go back to the backstage.

After all, this is the moment of winning the championship. The various post-match procedures are complicated and grand. It is impossible to complete the process so quickly. There is also a “Post-match Group Interview” session immediately.

Everyone was in the audience, waiting for the stage to be rearranged.

“What’s wrong, Master Ye? Can’t wait to go back to the toilet?” Ming Kai said with an expression that said, “Use mine. I just happened to bring it with me when I came out.”

“No, I want to share the joy with my family. But it’s okay to go to the toilet first!” Ye Bo took the phone with a smile.

“Actually, there’s no need to post too much. The uncles and aunts must be watching the live broadcast.” Saint Spear Brother comforted.

“I’m going to the factory director, you can resist the pressure. You are actually level 14! All five poisons are present.”

The popularity of major e-sports forums is unprecedented.

The influence of winning the championship has already begun to show even now. Less than half an hour after the game ended, hot posts continued to emerge and refreshed rapidly!
[Ten years of starch came uninvited! ]

[The era of the Big Three is over. I heard that RNG and WE are both preparing to start next year. Now there is only the Big Three! 】

[It really broke the history, four LCK teams defeated four teams with one! nmb is outrageous! ]

[To be honest, EDG can now be said to have all its members ranked first in the country, right? They are the first team in LPL to have two godhoods! ]

[I am an old fan of EDG during the Zhuzai period. I can only say that I am a lifelong fan of YE! It is not too much to praise YE! I will not criticize him no matter how bad he plays in the future. I will never criticize him again! ]

[Right to be exempted from criticism? I advise Master Ye not to believe it. The right to be exempted from criticism of these netizens is just like the iron certificate of immunity from death awarded by Lao Zhu to his meritorious officials! ]

[I heard that Master Ye can read? Fuck Master Ye! You! Are! My! God! ! ! ! ]

[Let me play, let me play. I am a music student studying flute and trumpet. I have a big lung capacity, let me play! ]

Ye Bo slid his fingers along the page as he read with great relish, giggling from time to time.

In addition to the discussion post about the entire EDG team.

Obviously, there are quite a lot of discussion posts about Ye Bo personally in the forum.

The most popular one is————”Rational analysis, based on YE’s performance in this world competition, what level is it in the history of the S-level units?”

There are 333 comments below, and many of the replies are very eye-catching.

[If it was any other position, there would be absolutely no controversy. Even just this one championship could be said to be the most terrifying performance in history. However, this is a mid laner, so it is still slightly controversial.]

[If I really want to find a reference, it seems that I can only find the little Li from S3. Is this what happens in fantasy novels, where the old devil is about to fall and the new devil is about to appear?]

[What’s the controversy? I think it’s the best in history! At least in terms of viewing experience, it’s definitely the best! How many people dare to use those high-risk operations in the world competition? ]

【Watchability? Everything is first! Don’t forget that this is a 5% win rate. In S16, which was the first in history, SKT had a 1% win rate of 93 wins and loss. Even the peak dynasty lost a small game! I don’t need to say more about its value, right?】

[But to be honest, the competition quality of S12 is really not good. The mid-year version has been overhauled, and DRX, the fourth seed, can enter the finals. Moreover, YE is still in the defending champion team. It is still different from the new team in S3.]

[If you really watched the game, those who are still talking about the “fourth seed” and “defending champion” team are really amazing. Without Master Ye, this family would have fallen apart in the quarterfinals! ]

[Don’t bring up the version change every day. Aren’t all people practicing the same version? Why are others fine? If someone loses to Vietnam, Europe and America, the Atlantic, or Japan in the future, can they also use the version change as an excuse? ]

[EDG won 15 games in total, and Master Ye won MVP in 11 of them. Is there any dispute about this? He is the first! He is! The first! ]

Hot posts can easily lead to arguments over a single word.

However, Ye Bo doesn’t care much about this so-called “historical” discussion.

Mainly in his opinion, the different ages and versions make it impossible to make a horizontal comparison, and it is also difficult to define the term “gold content”.

Seeing that the stage had not yet been set up, he wanted to have some fun.

I glanced at some of the weirder discussions, such as cross-dressing to blacken other players, arresting mom fans, and photos of UZI wearing EDG uniforms.
Finally, we found the real-life videos taken by college students that are popular every year.

Eight o’clock in the morning in China.

At that moment, all the boys’ dormitories in universities and middle schools were screaming out of the windows at the top of their lungs, “EDG is awesome!!”

The girls’ dormitory next door also reached the time of the year when they heard a torrent-like roar of “What a bullshit!!”

Some people who didn’t know thought these boys were scolding their own brothers again, and they got so angry that they opened the window and started yelling at them.

It’s a pity that in the face of this crazy carnival in the boys’ dormitory, those shouting couldn’t create any sound resistance at all.

There are also many videos of “Strange Gamble”.

Many people said things like: If EDG wins, I will wash my hair upside down, I will be rewarded 30 times in three days, if I insist on not coaching for three days, I will give women’s clothing to my roommate.
Even through the screen, Ye Bo could personally feel the intense atmosphere of blood boiling.

I remember when he was only 14 years old, LPL won its first championship, and he was lying on the windowsill and shouting in the middle of the night, and even the neighbors across the street shouted back immediately, and soon there were sounds and lights all around the community shouting back.
Although Ye Bo was complained about disturbing the neighbors downstairs and was beaten up.

But I still miss that time very much when I think of it.

At that time, he first had the idea of ​​”going professional”.

He also wants to stand at the center of the stage and do something with his passion and expertise.

At the very least, it is to meet the expectations of the audience who will cheer and cheer for them, not to let their expectations be disappointed, and to motivate themselves to keep charging and climbing.

And suddenly, I found myself standing here!
Ye Bo was filled with emotion.

However, the game has just ended, and various public opinions and reactions have not yet fully spread.

Ye Bo browsed the forum again, but didn’t see any interesting new posts, so he put away his phone and prepared to check out the rewards for “Counterattack Mission” and the new changes to “Lao Deng’s Diary”.

In fact, as soon as the game ended, several golden banners flashed before his eyes.

But given the situation at the time, I had no mood to look at these things.

Plus, there was a lot of content, and there were several things he couldn’t quite understand.
“Master Ye is on stage!”

The stage for the post-match group interview was finally set up, and Ye Bo could only follow his teammates onto the stage.

This time, the post-match group interview was moved to the scene to cater to the on-site atmosphere, allowing a large number of media to enter, while the audience who did not leave the scene watched from a distance in the stands.

The value of the final was reflected.

Even on the other side of the ocean, the number of domestic media coming to interview has increased several times compared to before, and basically all the well-known websites and forums are present.

This leads to a limit on the number of questions each media outlet can ask. Even the questions to be asked must be in the order arranged by the backend – mainly based on the sponsor ranking.

And the unexpected thing is.

Almost all media outlets——————the first person they are competing to interview is Ye Bo!
These guys who are extremely sensitive to hot topics know very well that after today, Ye Bo’s popularity and popularity will probably spread and rise at an unimaginable speed throughout the entire alliance world!
The reporter with the nameplate {Dudu protects, charge safely} asked: “To EDG’s captain Meiko, as the first team in the LPL region to win consecutive championships, what are your thoughts and prospects now? Or, will you keep this lineup next year?”

Dudu is only a small sponsor this year and only has one opportunity to ask a question, and he cannot ask the most popular YE. He can only split one question into two.

Meiko raised the microphone and said: “Of course I am very happy and excited. In fact, even I didn’t expect that I could come here again this year. What do you think?”

“I believe that the audience friends who have followed our event microphones should know that our captain on the field is the mid-lane player.”

“And as a newcomer, he took on a lot of responsibilities for the team in this World Championship, so I feel that he has worked really hard.”

Meiko is a seasoned veteran after all, and she cleverly ignored the last question which she couldn’t answer directly.

But his answer was also very sincere, and it also reflected the thoughts of the other four people.

It’s not just countless waves of turning the tide.

What was really heartbreaking was the quarterfinals, when the entire team was infected and fell down.

No one knew how much pressure and responsibility Ye Bo, as the only healthy person on the team, had to bear. If he didn’t play well, he would definitely be criticized as “the one who didn’t play well is worse than the one who played well.”

But in the end, he accomplished everything brilliantly.

This is also the reason why the other four members of EDG feel that all the treatment he is receiving is justified from the bottom of their hearts.

The only thing I am not satisfied with is reporter Dudu. I finally got this one chance to ask a question, but you actually talked about someone else.
The next person to be interviewed was Saint Spear Brother.

Saint Spear Brother smiled and answered directly: “Actually, I’m not nervous at all during the competition, because I know Master Ye will definitely lead me to victory, hehe.”

“I knew this the first time I met him. You may not know that when Master Ye and I first met, he picked up the video of our training match yesterday and asked me questions.”

“At that time, I thought, if such a serious guy is my teammate, I must have a good relationship with him. This will definitely help me in the future!”

These self-deprecating remarks immediately made the e-sports media below burst into laughter.

However, the reporter who asked this question was very satisfied. At least Saint Spear talked about a little-known “past” of Ye Bo, so he still had something to write about after he returned.

Follow-up interview with Jie Jie and Viper.

Jiejie mainly answered the question about why he played a lot of “tool-type” junglers this year.

“This makes me want to say something I often say in interviews – you have to ask him!”

He pointed at the people around him with a smile: “Anyway, I will do whatever Master Ye told me to do. Now the results should have proved that he is right, and I am right too.”

The press box below laughed again.

Viper was as direct as ever: “The jungler is right. Oh, the mid laner is right too.”

But after that, Viper paused and continued: “As for me, I am very fortunate to be in this team. Everyone has taken good care of me. Even if we are not in the same team in the future, I will always remember this journey.”

As soon as these words were spoken, an uproar immediately arose among the media below!
Because Viper’s words almost make it clear that he will most likely not be in EDG next year.

This is definitely big news.

Of course, none of the teammates were too surprised, including Ye Bo.

The main reason is that the Asian Games will be held in 23, and it will be the first time that e-sports will become an Asian Games event.

There will be a formal award and it will be counted towards the national medal total.

This may not be a big deal for others, but for Koreans, as long as there is a chance to compete for a place in the main competition, they will never miss it.

After all, the Asian Games championship is a ticket to avoid hell for them!

Even if he fails to defend his title this year, Viper, as the new generation champion AD in the past two years, has always performed very well and will definitely be a strong contender for the competition when he returns.

What’s more, now that we have won two championships, that spot is basically a sure thing.

No matter how high the stakes offered by the LPL teams are, they can never compare to the temptation of being exempted from military service!
Finally it was Ye Bo’s turn.

He had the most interviews to give, so he was deliberately scheduled to be interviewed last.

At the beginning, it is still a routine question.

Ye Bo raised the microphone and looked at the camera, suddenly becoming a little serious: “I think what my teammates just said is not right!”

Everyone turned their heads in confusion.

“League of Legends is a team sport, and everyone has their own division of labor. For example, Saint Spear said he won without doing anything, but in the finals, it was because he was able to withstand the attacks of all the other players that we were able to implement our tactics.”

“Including Jiejie’s use of a functional jungler, Viper and Meiko’s strong laning in the bottom lane, these are all the reasons why I can let go of my fists in the middle lane, and they are all indispensable to our victory!”

“Just because I have a lot of kills and a high KDA, you can’t think that I am the C player, right?”

That’s exactly what Ye Bo really thought.

However, he felt that these words were not convincing enough, and was afraid that reporters would think he was just speaking for show.

After thinking for a while, he gave another example: “Take my family for example. Before I became a professional player, my dad had a higher salary, but my mom had to work and take care of me. I was the only one in the family who got by without doing anything. But if it weren’t for their efforts, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to become a professional player now!”

“We can’t just settle accounts at the end of the month and find out that Dad has the highest KDA and Mom has the second highest KDA. I don’t think this is what a team should say, right?”

“Each of us is an MVP.”

This extremely vivid description stunned everyone at the scene.

But then, all the media below spontaneously applauded!
Obviously, everyone could feel the sincerity in the other party’s words and knew that this was not just a polite remark.

Of course, that is the fact itself.

Take the final for example, Ye Bo was actually prepared to deal with Big Head’s tactics.

But DRX is on the blue side, they have the initiative to decide which half of the zone to target, while EDG can only respond.

In the last two consecutive games, just looking at the data, it does seem that the top lane is the breakthrough point – but you have to know that it was actually the scene created by the combined strength of the entire opponent’s team!
Without the sacrifice of the top lane, everything would not be so smooth, whether it was BP or the allocation of resources on the field.

After the reporters recovered, they continued to ask questions.

“So, YE, I’m curious. You won the championship and FMVP in your first year since your debut. You have truly reached the peak right after your debut. Will you feel like you have lost your goal in the future?”

When Ye Bo heard this question, he pointed to Saint Spear next to him and said, “I actually discussed this question with Saint Spear when I won the Summer Championship.”

“I still remember what Saint Spear said to me at that time. Even if you win the championship, if you don’t keep working hard, you will still be beaten and lose the game you are supposed to lose.”

“So, winning the championship actually just represents the success of this season.”

“I still have many goals to achieve. I only won one championship. We in LPL have more than a dozen championships. It’s not rare~”

As he said this, he joked, “I have a lot of regrets. There are still many opponents I want to meet. For example, I haven’t even scored a pentakill yet. Jiejie has robbed me of several pentakills!”

Another reporter interrupted hastily.

“What about the champion skin, YE! Is it Akali or Sylas? It has to be these two!”

“I haven’t decided on the skin yet. I’ll go back and ask Akali and Sylas for their opinions~”

Ye Bo’s extrovert personality seemed to make him more comfortable in such a large group interview.

Journalists from all over the world have reaped great rewards.

They are all ready to go back and write about it, and it seems that every answer can create a big topic.
At the end of the session, a reporter from Mercedes-Benz, the largest sponsor, asked the last question.

“The last question is for contestant YE!”

“As far as I know, due to your performance in this World Championship, many viewers now call you the “current world’s best mid laner”. What do you think of this title?”

This is obviously a somewhat sensitive and extremely easy to “boomerang” question.

But Ye Bo picked up the microphone again with a fearless look on his face, nodding as if it was “natural”.

“Of course!”

There was a burst of commotion immediately after hearing the sound!
“As the world champion every year, shouldn’t I be number one? Not only me, but every one of us is number one in our respective positions this year. There’s no need to ask this question~~”

“So, at least before sunset today, I think I am the world’s number one mid laner!”

“Then starting from tomorrow, I will work hard to become the world’s number one mid laner next year!”

The interview finally came to an end.

Ye Bo held the trophy and walked happily towards the backstage passage with his teammates.

Since the Chase Center is designed as a basketball venue, the player passage is located in the middle of the spectator stands to facilitate interaction between the audience and the players.

The EDG players struggled to move forward amidst the sea of ​​hands in the crowd, and more than a dozen security guards could hardly contain the enthusiasm of the audience, who just wanted to shake hands.

Although Ye Bo was a little anxious to go back to see the changes in tasks and rewards, he thought about how difficult it was for these spectators to travel across the ocean to watch their competition.

I still slowed down and shook hands with every hand I could.

But he didn’t expect that there were quite a few fanatical pretty female fans who were screaming and pushing forward, and holding his hands and refusing to let go, looking quite scary.
Ye Bo was not good at interacting with female fans, so he quickly prepared to quicken his pace and escape.

But at this moment.

He suddenly saw a familiar figure among the group of crazy female fans, also squeezing forward.
Ye Bo’s eyes widened instantly, and he shouted in surprise towards the crowd in the direction of the crazy female fan.

“Oh my god! Mom!!!”
