Half an hour before the game started, in the OG locker room, the coach was arranging tactics and making final preparations.
Yu Ge was playing with the amulet in his hand, and when he noticed the gaze beside him, he looked back.
Will smiled: "Did your sister give it to you?"
Yu Ge hummed.
The analyst was standing in front of a small blackboard, scribbling: "We lost to TG twice before, and there have been doubts and public opinion from the outside world. I know you must be under a lot of psychological pressure. But TG is still a new team after all, and it is definitely inexperienced in Bo5. We should mainly focus on TG's bottom lane. Conquer has an aggressive style. In my assessment, he is a dangerous player. As long as you catch him a few more times in the early stage and disrupt the rhythm of TG's bottom lane, it will be easy to win the game."
Before going on the court, the coach also tried to ease the atmosphere. Several players laughed and said it was okay, saying that they had seen all kinds of storms.
Awen sat alone in the corner.
Will winked at Roy.
The two walked over to sit next to Awen. Without saying anything, they put their arms around Awen's shoulders and patted him.
Awen is already 24 years old. In this group of players who are generally only in their teens and early twenties, his competitive ability has visibly declined. Awen played in YLD for six years and was always the stable C point of the team.
Over the past six years, year after year, Awen has reached the finals many times and was just one step away from the trophy, but always fell short at the last moment.
They shed all their blood and energy, but always missed the championship.
Yu Ge knew him from the youth training team.
Last winter, Awen contacted the management of OG through Yu Ge and was willing to take a pay cut to play professionally in OG. He knew that his career was coming to an end, and for the sake of his dream, he wanted to fight again.
Awen's original words were: I would rather be a substitute and not get paid, as long as I can play in the game.
The official announcement of the spring season, Awen joining the popular OG, caused a stir in the outside world. There were doubts, shocks, and countless speculations. The label of yld has basically been attached to Awen, and yld fans are angry and sad.
If Awen abandons yld who has been so kind to him, and still fails to make achievements in OG, he will not only face retirement, but also a large loss of fans and the sarcasm of haters. He himself will also lose his reputation.
And tonight.
At this moment, on this stage, Awen is risking his career to complete today's final.
This was his last desperate attempt, and also his last chance to burn himself out.
When it was time to go on stage, many spectators in the hall could no longer sit still and the crowd was noisy. As the countdown on the big screen began, everyone in the hall started shouting:
5, 4, 3, 2, 1—
As the white smoke dissipated, the silver dragon cup in the center slowly rose up.
The host stepped out of the shadows: "Hello, dear summoners and everyone watching the live broadcast, this is the 2021 League of Legends Professional League Spring Finals."
"Today we will see the final winner of the championship trophy. Let us give the warmest applause to the two teams that will be competing today.
"First, team occasion!"
The audience below raised their cheering sticks and waved them wildly. The response was very enthusiastic.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah.”
"og! og!!!!!!!!! og!!! og!!!"
The host struck while the iron was hot: "Then our second team today, and also the strongest dark horse this spring—Thron Game!!!!!"
Clips of past matches between the two teams began to flash on the central screen. Yu Ge was frantically directing with headphones on. Chen Yuzheng's teammates smiled and chatted after he got a quad kill. Will raised his arms and cheered after winning the game. The five people walked to the front of the stage and bowed after winning the game...
... .
...
Five or six cameras followed them around. Yu Ge squeezed the amulet in his hand and put it in his pocket.
The two teams went up from both sides of the stage.
Following the usual process, the host introduced each contestant one by one.
Both teams returned to their computers and checked their peripherals. Ah Wen fell behind the crowd and turned back to look at the silver trophy in the center of the stage.
Before putting on the headphones, Yu Ge called out, "Duan Hongwen."
Ah Wen tilted his head slightly: "Huh? Why are you suddenly calling me by my full name?"
"Remember what I said when I asked you to come to OG?"
Arwen paused, "What..."
"I said, I will help you win a championship." Yu Ge said calmly, without any emotion, and put on his headphones.
Ah Wen smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "Yeah, you tricked me into coming here."
The game started counting down. Yu Ge stared at the computer screen and tried the qw keys on the keyboard. "Today."
The team's voice was silent for a moment.
Awen: "What?"
"Promise your champion."
The data panels of the two teams are shown on the field.
The commentator began to analyze this: "The key point of today's game is that whoever takes the initiative in the bottom lane in the early stage can basically control the rhythm of the game. Both teams resisted the pressure in the top lane and focused on the bottom lane."
Xiaoli continued, "Yes, we just discussed this in the lounge. Both teams are focusing on the bottom lane. Conquer just debuted this year, and he has been playing very well. We were the commentators for the semi-finals, and Conquer's style of endurance and fighting left a deep impression on everyone. But in terms of experience, Fish definitely has the upper hand."
Jun Hao: "In the trash talk, these two people are unwilling to give in to each other and are going to fight head-on."
At this point, there was laughter from the fans at the scene.
Jiawei: "It has been half a month since their last match. I believe both teams have prepared a lot. For OG, or Awen, he has always been questioned about his mentality in the finals, so today's match is also a very meaningful match for him. Whether he can overcome his inner demons depends on tonight."
Jun Hao: "So, in this peak match tonight, will the new generation of TG team be able to ascend the throne tonight, or will OG defend its own dynasty? Let's wait and see."
...
...
The competition officially begins.
In the first game, the commentators were still chatting about the battle situation. After a few words, suddenly, a fight broke out in the bottom lane.
The director gave the shot in time.
Chen Yuzheng made a positioning error and was hit by a Q from the opponent's support.
The supports on both sides gave up their healing efforts, and Chen Yuzheng hid behind the minions and moved around, with only a trace of blood left.
Yu Ge seized the opportunity to flash forward, followed by two basic attacks, dealing full damage and taking the kill directly.
The commentator exclaimed: "Fish played really fiercely today, getting first blood in less than three minutes?"
"Conquer's move was a bit reckless. He just used E to hit the opponent's support and then Q."
At eight minutes, OG's economic lead was 2,500.
This is an exaggerated advantage in the professional league.
After Yu Ge reached level 6, he called down the middle lane. The two of them blocked a vision and crouched down to Chen Yuzheng who was alone in the bottom lane to cut off the minion line.
The two had a brief voice exchange and then cooperated neatly, one controlling the opponent while the other went around from behind and killed Chen Yuzheng cleanly and efficiently.
Chen Yuzheng was beaten 0-3.
Junhao teased, "Conquer is a bit careless. If he gets hurt again, he will quit the game directly."
“To be honest, I was a little overwhelmed.”
People watching on the broadcast platform also typed out rows of question marks:
Is this the genius AD who was hyped to reach the peak after debuting for half a year? It's really funny.
Damn, what a rubbish ad, don’t give it away, don’t give it away, it will make people stupid if you give it away again.
It's another classic example of fish beating up a weakling.
conquer was completely defeated by fish.
On the big screen, the support had just returned to the line after buying equipment. Not only did the og bottom lane not retreat, but they even called the jungler to forcefully cross the tower.
Ultraman followed Chen Yuzheng away.
The TG bottom lane duo was sent directly back home.
Van just came to control the little dragon. The top lane TP was lit up, and together with the middle lane, three people gathered near the little dragon pit.
Yu Ge started pinging the signal.
After eating the blue buff, Roy quickly rushed to the front battlefield.
Chen Yuzheng and Ultraman had not resurrected yet, and TG realized that the other five were nearby, and wanted to retreat, but OG had already started the fight.
og fought a 3v5 with tg, but ended up being wiped out and directly exploded.
As the game was coming to an end, OG took control of all the big and small dragons.
tg's economy lags behind by nearly ten thousand.
In less than half an hour, the game was over and tg was beaten into Linglong Tower.
(0 heads, 0 towers, 0 kills.)
During the halftime break, there was a low atmosphere in the TG training room backstage.
The manager stood with his hands on his hips and scolded the players. In fact, it is wrong to lose temper with the players in the middle of the game. Not only will it cause them extra psychological pressure, but it may also affect their performance in the future. If it was a normal loss, it would be nothing. The main reason was that TG played too badly and there was almost no chance of fighting back.
Coach: "Your teamwork is terrible, especially you, Conquer. What's wrong with you today? Your condition is so bad? What were you thinking when you connected with Q in the first wave just now? Why didn't you use flash at the first time?"
The others lowered their heads and stopped training. Chen Yuzheng looked pale, said nothing, and looked away.
"Conquer, don't give me that attitude!" The team leader's voice suddenly rose. "Your problem is the most prominent throughout the whole game. Don't you want to think about what's wrong? Why are you still throwing a tantrum? What does it mean to be beaten into a delicate tower? If you keep playing like this in the final today, all our efforts for a season will be wasted. Do you know that?"
Yu Nuo sat in the corner, looking at Chen Yuzheng's face, and suddenly realized something.
...
...
The second game started soon.
All three lines of tg made few mistakes and played much better than the previous game.
The two sides fought back and forth several times, but at the mid-term point, Chen Yuzheng was killed by Yu Ge when he was clearing the field of vision.
Then he died twice in the bottom lane.
OG chose a late-game lineup, and due to Yu Ge's perfect performance in several waves, the equipment of the hero who was originally the main C in the late game was completed ahead of time.
tg was simply unable to deal with Yu Ge's output. After resisting tenaciously for twenty minutes, they were still pushed to the high ground by the opponent and their crystal was destroyed.
There was a problem in the bottom lane again.
In the League of Legends finals, there was almost no such thing as a comeback from 2-0 down to 3-0. Now that TG had lost two games in a row, the outcome was decided.
The team leader didn't lose his temper anymore and went out to the corridor to smoke. The coach sat in front of the LCD screen, watching the previous few team battles.
The atmosphere remained depressed, and Killer and Van were also dejected.
Chen Yuzheng was curled up in a chair alone, with his legs crossed on the edge of the sofa, his head lowered lazily, and he was playing with a water bottle in his hand.
Suddenly, a girl's gentle voice sounded in my ears.
"Chen Yuzheng?"
He looked up and was stunned.
Yu Nuo bent down slightly and asked seriously, "Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"
Chen Yuzheng said nothing.
The two were very close to each other. Yu Nuo avoided his gaze and explained, "You looked pale just now. I guess you might have hypoglycemia. There's a hospital nearby. I went to buy some glucose solution. Would you like to drink some first?"
He still said nothing.
She was in a hurry, afraid of being late, and she spent all the time on the road running. Her face was red and hot, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath. Yu Nuo was embarrassed for a moment, thinking that she was meddling in other people's business. She took out another glass of juice from the bag, "Glucose is indeed not very tasty. If you don't want to drink it, I also bought this-"
Chen Yuzheng took the glucose solution from her, tore open the package, and drank it.
Yu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing him finish drinking, she didn't dare to disturb him, put away the juice she bought, left quietly, and sat back in her seat.
The third game was about to begin. After the analyst gave his last few words, several tg people stood up from their chairs and walked out one after another.
When Chen Yuzheng reached the door, he paused for a moment and said, "Yu Nuo."
Yu Nuo was slightly stunned.
This was the first time he called her by her name.
Faint cheers could be heard from outside. Chen Yuzheng stood there, looking at her. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Thank you."
Yu Nuo hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay."
"That." Chen Yuzheng glanced at the bag beside her, "Give it to me too."
Yu Nuo was stunned for a moment.
Thinking she didn't understand, he added, "Juice."
