Chapter 516: Launching a Satellite

well.

Hirai stood at the door and sighed melancholy. He knows that this BO5 has greatly damaged the team's image.

After all, last year we could still say that some players entered the World Championship for the first time and failed to show their full strength. If we make similar excuses this year, the effect of "washing" will be greatly reduced.

Or rather.

The audience understands that they will change shape when faced with life-defining pressure, but they do not accept similar rhetoric appearing twice.

This is usually the case.

Netizens will kindly call for retirement - since it is not suitable, why stay in the game and embarrass yourself.

Harsh to netizens.

Hirai sighed deeply, but couldn't escape immediately. As a coach, he has the obligation to wait here for his players to come off the field.

After a while.

BDD came down full of frustration and disappointment, as if he had lost his soul.

"Don't lose heart."

Hirai put away his emotions and patted the team members on the shoulders. Turning around, the electronic screen on the wall was playing live footage.

When he saw Taobao holding the MSI trophy and the whole audience shouted "King", Khan was filled with envy. As a top laner who has won two consecutive league championships, the scene he can think of in his dream looks like this——

"Hold the cup!"

"Hold up that trophy that belongs to you!"

Commentary seat.

Remember to shout until you are hoarse.

Maybe he is more emotional.

When he saw veterans such as Jin Gong and smlz who were not "recognized" holding the Champions Canyon trophy, as a witness, he suddenly felt very honored...

“That’s the beauty of esports.”

Guan Zeyuan responded: "Six months ago, there were only a few posts on the Internet that talked about Jin Gong, but even those who felt most sorry for Jin Gong didn't think he could withstand the pressure in the BO5 finals."

"Yes."

"No one believes that a 23-year-old top laner still has gas in the tank. In other words, no one thinks he is the next MaRin. Before winning the championship, if you compare him with MaRin, most people will just find it funny."

The two of them were sighing.

I'm feeling inspired.

Eimy pretended to interject: "Actually, the year I won the championship, I was not favored on the road either."

Guan Zeyuan, remember:...

"Have you forgotten? They said they couldn't go far and said they couldn't beat Duke on the road."

Eimy said solemnly: "Do you know what PP said at that time? He said that he was not favored, so he had to leave no regrets and play every game as the last one."

"And...there are no absolutes in esports."

"When Crocodile hit a solo kill in the fifth game, it really boosted morale..." Eimy looked reminiscing. Maybe this is the history book of time.

Since MaRin lived his second life, he won his second Summoner's Trophy.

In various posts analyzing top orders, MaRin is always deliberately promoted. The problem is that MaRin himself is not as powerful as netizens say.

Just read the comments.

I thought MaRin had never encountered setbacks.

But as a person involved, the year of the first championship was not so smooth. He vaguely remembered that MaRin also gave IMP a slap in the face, and the two did not deal with it that way...

See Eimy say that.

The audience expressed their thoughts:

[When talking about the first championship now, we only emphasize the single kill, the big bypass, and the golden body in the fifth game. It seems that we have forgotten the difficulty of the first four games. 】

[Those who didn’t know better thought that they won the championship by crushing them that year. 】

[There are too many fans in the first year. 】

[Alas, the older top laners Qingshen has played with seem to have regained their second youth. 】

[Not only that, before Jin Gong came to Taobo, he was just the dean of a weak team. No one praised him as an S-level top laner. 】

[Jin Gong’s strength is his ability to supplement development, and he is even better than MaRin in this regard. 】

[Indeed, no matter how you target them, you can keep up with them as long as you have the equipment. 】

[The commanding mid laner is kidding you. 】

A live broadcast room.

Seeing Ye Wang showing off on the stage, C Bo gritted his teeth and said: "Gou Ba is just talking nonsense, none of it belongs to him."

Big Wolf rarely agreed: "What the hell, he just repeated what Brother Hao said again, pretending?"

"Call!"

The two of them sang and sang together, their teeth itching with hatred.

After all, Eimy often ridicules the prudishness on the C blog, and the big wolf can’t hold it in! They both couldn't bear to see the wild king being "unruly" on the commentary stage!

Seeing the anchor gnashing his teeth, the friends almost died laughing.

[Oh, I just can’t look down on my brothers. 】

[Bad, Eimy can talk better than a big dog. 】

[The anchor I am a fan of is too official, always saying those two sentences. 】

And in the middle of the stage.

Just as he slowly put the trophy back, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Have you noticed that the MSI trophy is not as important as the Silver Dragon Cup?"

Qin Hao reminded him kindly.

smlz silently thought: MSI trophy...it's just...fuck.

Jin Gong pulled his wrist and thought: It's strange why his hand is itchy. Could it be that it was injured when he held the cup just now.

Little Peanut felt envious: Only if you have won many championships can you think about whether the trophy is important or not.

Mark: As expected of Brother Hao, he can easily pretend to be something I can’t pretend to be.

The eyes of the people around him twitched twice, but they could only pretend not to hear.

After all, everyone here.

Only Qin Hao has won four league championships, two MSI championships, and two S-level championships. In terms of experience, who can compare with him.

Discuss things like trophy weight.

Joining in is asking for trouble.

"Don't you think so?"

"hehe."

Jin Gong put his arm around Qin Hao's shoulders and said, "Are you tired? I'll help you press it."

"Don't."

Qin Hao refused: "Why do you still have such strong hand strength when you play ranked every day?" Generally speaking, if you type too much on the keyboard, your grip strength will decrease and your wrist will become sore, but Jin Gong didn't seem to be affected much.

The old thief said quietly: "What do you think? Even the e-sports table was destroyed by him."

"???"

Jin Gong threatened quietly: "What do you want to say?"

"No, I'm complimenting you."

The old thief turned his head and looked at the host smiling at him, inexplicably in a good mood.

~~~

After a while.

The translator assigned by Riot Games stood in front of everyone, and the female host smiled and said: "First of all, congratulations to Taobo for winning the 2018 MSI championship."

Then, she looked at Jin Gong, who had the face of an old father, and asked: "In this BO5, Jin Gong also showed extremely solid laning and spiritual teamfighting. What are your victory words after defeating KZ?" ”

Jin Gong held the microphone and said: "...I have played a lot of games since 2014. Before I came to Taobo, my career was considered a failure. I came from OGN to LPL, and then dropped from LPL to LSPL. ”

Speaking of which.

Jin Gong opened his eyes to the sky: "Maybe at my age, it's a little late for me to win the championship, but... I still think it's worth it."

For a moment.

Jin Gong almost cried.

He was really struggling for a while and didn't know if there was any use in persisting.

"How do you feel about these three games?" the hostess joked, "against the world's best top laner."

"Khan brought me a lot of trouble and pressure." Jin Gong told the truth: "But he played very quickly and gave me a lot of opportunities.

So, I feel very happy to be able to play well in front of such a large audience. "

"I also want to say: congratulations on winning the championship."

~~~

"Where's the Peanut player?"

"This series, your pig girl left a very deep impression on me..."

Recalling that the top four players were replaced in S7, Babyface tensed up: "Winning the championship this time is an encouragement to me personally."

Little Peanut turned his head and glanced at the buckle horse: "Because I didn't play well last year, I doubted myself at the time and felt that there was something wrong with me, but no one gave me the answer."

"Now..."

"Be more confident."

Seeing what Little Peanut said so sincerely, the female host nodded repeatedly: "So after winning the MSI championship, what are your expectations for the S game?"

"Although I don't know what the summer season will be like, I'm very happy to be able to win the cup with everyone. I hope this happiness can continue into the S season."

~~~

"Next, let's interview the Penicillin players."

The camera just turned to this.

The sound of the scene resounded again.

The female host smiled and asked: "This is the second time you have won the MSI trophy, and it has also written a new legendary chapter - before Penicillin won the championship, no mid laner had ever done this."

【Oh oh oh oh! 】

The response was enthusiastic and proud.

"so…"

"How are you feeling now?"

"If you're in the mood..."

Qin Hao stood upright in the middle of the queue and looked at the host's card politely: "I'm very happy. But compared to me, my teammates seem to be happier."

"ha."

The hostess didn't hold back: "So... you think the success of the entire team makes you happier?"

Qin Hao nodded: "To be able to get here together, it can be regarded as a reward for the hard work. Although many times, the hard work may not necessarily pay off, but at least this championship will make people feel particularly worthwhile."

Jin Gong and others nodded slightly, as if they were echoing Qin Hao's words.

[Qing Wen makes me cry. 】

[Individual success is nothing, team success is success. 】

【Brush up the greatness. 】

[I'm going to cry. Jiemugong finally proved himself in an international competition. 】

【Thanks for your hard work. 】

[Who dares to say that Brother Gongzi is not worthy of a while? Stand up. 】

[Gongzi’s team battle scenes are always better than Khan’s. 】

When expressing emotions on the barrage.

The female host asked again: "As long as you keep playing, you will set a new record. So, do you have any plans for your career?"

This is the most interesting topic on the Internet.

Qin Hao shook his head: "The version in each time period is different, and other players are getting stronger, so I will be a legendary mid laner today, and I will continue to work hard as a challenger in the future. "

Netizen:…

[Did I hear that correctly? 】

[This is why Qingshen was able to write a legend in just 2 and a half years. 】

[When I was his age and achieved his level of achievement, I should have lived a life of luxury and yachting. 】

【horrible. 】

[Being studied by so many mid laners, he can still become the strongest. 】

[Most of them are not as talented as him, and what is even more disappointing is that most of them are not as hardworking as him. How can this be transcended? 】

[Why is Qingshen a god? 】

Arrived for the group interview after the game.

Pray took the initiative and said: "I don't know about others, but I feel no regrets."

"I still think this is my version, but I'm still a long way from being the top laner." Khan justified his performance.

When the Korean reporter mentioned GimGoon's comments, Khan was not angry: "I did play a little hastily. My problem is that I can't let GimGoon enjoy himself."

"I never said that I was like so-and-so. It was all said by the media." BDD denied his title of "Little Green God" in public for the first time.

"Three KDAs: 2-16-6?"

When BDD learned the data, his face changed: "I didn't pay attention to these." He knew that the data was very bad in the losing game, but he didn't expect to be closely followed by reporters.

In addition...

He really didn't pay attention to these...

He only thought about how to avoid the line and reduce the pressure on his teammates.

"I have no personal grudges with him. To be precise, I haven't talked to him closely."

"No one wants to be 3-0."

"It's not that we don't want to, it's that we can't do it."

At the end of the interview.

Hiari made a joke in public.

For this answer.

Of course, Korean netizens are not satisfied.

If before the group interview came out, the attacking voices were concentrated on the mid and top, then Hiari's wave was regarded as a physical team fight, forcing netizens to attack and taunt the unit.

After all, a coach who said such "irresponsible" words seemed very irresponsible.

What do you mean by "not enough"?

You don't think your BP is very good, do you?

With such thoughts.

The Korean forum began to scan KZ's BP thinking with a magnifying glass.

Soon.

Hirai was scolded.

After all, Sion in the first game was countered by Anivia, Anivia in the second game was single-cut by Kled, and the lights-out and invisibility in the third game did not produce the combo effect that Clockwork Nightmare should have.

This shows that KZ's reserves for the finals are a bunch.

Why?

How could you know that Sion would be swaying and still not be solved after being released. And in the eyes of netizens, the BP in the second game was the worst.

But in the eyes of KZ.

The three minutes of darkness in that game was only because GimGoon had good awareness and was patient enough, not because the BP was too bad.

Because Sion gave away two waves in that game, and took down the top tower early, and Ornn's side lane was indeed invincible - can an Ornn with a 2-piece set at 18 minutes be compared with an Ornn with a 2-piece set at 22 minutes?

But in the eyes of netizens.

This BP is simply unbearable to watch.

Kled in the middle lane fights Anivia, and with a magic resistance boot, it becomes easier and easier to fight. As long as the top lane doesn't give away, one set is more useful than Ornn's team fight.

And it's later.

Ornn's team fight has no picture, and Top Esports will not slowly explore the grass at all, but will directly crash into the formation, so that in the endgame, some heroes can't even use the first round of skills.

[Mid lane is bad, but don't wash BP. ]

[Useless coach. ]

[From last year to now, as long as the top and jungle don't carry, KZ will lose. ]

[Has there been any change? It's been so long. ]

[Even the content of the first 15 minutes is not taught well. ]

[First in the league, but the win rate after 37 minutes is only 35%. This is KZ. 】

At the same time.

The first thing Qin Hao did after returning to China was to renew his contract.

Winning the MSI championship brought honor to Topsports.

That night.

Witnessed by the boss and some media friends, Qin Hao signed a 2-year contract extension.

"2 years, a fixed salary of 56 million plus a tiered bonus share, plus 8.4% of the shares of the Top team."

"Congratulations."

"You are the second professional player in LPL to get a share of the team, and the only player with a basic salary of more than 28 million."

These terms are within expectations.

It's just that the moment the camera clicked, Qin Hao inexplicably felt a little more secure.

"... Thank you." Qin Hao didn't know what to say. For a kid like him who grew up in a small town, it felt for the first time that his life had special security. Like being accepted by the organization.

Compared with penicillin.

It gives a social identity.

The boss, Guo Hao and everyone present looked at Qin Hao and applauded tacitly.

"This is a win-win situation."

The boss didn't mean to show off his favor: "Besides, we don't have that much budget to match your future annual salary."

Topsports can't give endless blood transfusions.

As part of the listing plan, the Topsports team must be independent. Even if the money earned just covers the investment, it is worse than asking the parent company to provide blood.

So.

Instead of being unhappy in the future, it's better to give more at one time...

After the contract renewal is over.

The boss took Qin Hao and others out for dinner, but the media were in a hurry to work overtime to finish the article. They knew that the satellite launched by Topsports was enough to attract attention...
