October 22, 2016, Madison Square Garden, New York, USA.
The stadium, known as the mecca of basketball, was in a frenzy for another competitive sport.
“S-K-T! S-K-T! S-K-T……”
Rhythmic and frantic shouts resounded throughout the stadium, and the huge sound almost lifted the roof of the stadium.
The screams are blood-pumping.
Yes, this is where the LOL Pro League's annual Series S Finals semifinals are held.
Just now, there was an epic BO5 showdown here, where SKT, the most successful team in LOL history, knocked out their rival ROX and reached the final of the S Tournament for the third time, just one step away from their eternal feat of achieving the S Triple Crown.
At the top of the stage, several red-clothed teenagers hugged each other excitedly.
In the center, the corners of a young man with glasses go up, and at this moment, he is the king of Madison Garden!
“Faker! Faker! Faker! ”
He is the first person in LOL, an existence that no one surpasses, and there is no one in the world's strongest mid-laner.
On the other side, the five members of the losing ROX team sat down in their chairs, their faces full of gloom, since they formed the team, two years now, but they have never defeated SKT even once.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ROX's mid-laner Kuro kept apologizing.
The BO5 just now played five rounds, and he was suppressed by faker in five rounds, no matter what hero he used.
Everyone was immersed in the pain of defeat, and no one even answered his words.
And no one noticed that a yellow-skinned and black-haired teenager was standing in the audience, his fists clenched and his eyes bloodshot!
"Why, why don't you let me play, obviously when I play in the training match against them so well, just don't give me a chance, just because I am Chinese!" He gritted his teeth. A pair of eyes full of unwillingness.
He looked at the stage closely, this professional stage he dreamed of, the S stage he dreamed of being on, even if he made an appearance on it, even if he went up to be hanged and beaten, he was willing to go on the stage.
He slowly stood up from the crowd, then took out the work card from his pocket and walked towards the backstage step by step.
In a certain room in the backstage lounge, the usually noisy ROX team lounge was quiet at this time.
The boy walked to the door and slowly pushed the door open!
By this time, the ROX players had returned from the stage, they were slumped in their chairs, some with their heads down, some covering their heads, and the taste of failure almost made them despair.
He came in just as the people in the room looked up at him, but no one paid any attention.
He's a ROX guy with a contract with ROX, and he's been on this team for two years and hasn't ever played for that team once.
He stood against the wall for a long time, his fists clenched, released, clenched again ... And so forth.
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and broke the silence in the room and said in fluent Korean, "I want to terminate the contract." ”
The room was quiet, and the boy's voice was not very loud, but it clearly fell into everyone's ears.
Everyone raised their heads, and Nofe, the coach of ROX, said impatiently: "Boy, I'm in a bad mood when I lose the game now, don't bother me." ”
"I'm going to terminate my contract, I'm going back to China to play." The young man spoke again, and said in a firm voice.
"Hit the LPL?" Suddenly, RIX's jungler Peanut raised his head and said, "The LPL that was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the S competition this time?" ”
Maybe it's because he was in a bad mood after losing the game, or maybe he looked down on the Chinese professional league at all, with obvious sarcasm in his tone.
"What about the quarterfinals, at least I can play when I go back, I came to South Korea with the dream of being a world champion, came to ROX, I didn't get even a minute of playing time in two years, obviously I performed so well in training matches, but never, because of your Korean league, your LCK league does not allow the existence of non-Korean players at all!" The young man's eyes were a little red staring at all the humanity: "I played, facing faker, I will definitely not be suppressed so badly, I am afraid that I will enter the finals..."
"That's it!" The supervisor of ROX abruptly interrupted him and said: "You have to go back and roll yourself, the contract will be terminated for you tomorrow and tomorrow, and go back to the LPL where the e-sports environment is rotten to the bone." ”
"Overseer!" Nofe's face changed slightly.
ROX's top laner Smeb said at this time: "Coach, let him go, anyway, after this year, ROX doesn't know if he is gone, and he is right, he doesn't have a chance to play in South Korea, and he is just a trainee, a sparring partner." ”
When he heard the trainees and sparring partners, the young man's eyes couldn't help but sink.
He exhaled and said, "In that case, then I'll leave now, and you can just send me the contract to terminate the contract." ”
As he spoke, he walked to the door, opened the door and stopped and said: "The dream you can't realize, I will help you realize it, and the SKT you can't defeat, I will help you overcome!" ”
After saying that, he walked away.
Everyone in the room sneered, but their coach Nofe showed pity and said, "If only he were a Korean, maybe we could really beat SKT." ”
The overseer frowned and said, "Isn't he just a trainee?" ”
Nofa shook his head, he took out his phone and said: "You don't care about the youth training side of the matter is not clear, take a look, this kid's trial report." ”
The Superintendent frowned and took the phone over.
Name: Zhou Hao, Age: Sixteen, Position: Mid Single, Good at Heroes: All Assassin Heroes.
Tryout Result: Laning: SSS+, Teamfight: SS, Roaming Ability: SS, Awareness: SS......
Looking at a large piece of SS-level data, RIX's supervising pupils suddenly widened and said, "This... This... The results of the trial look like a world-class mid-laner... ”
Nofe nodded and said: "This is the result of the trial when he first came to the team two years ago, as far as I know, in the past two years, his hero pool has been fully developed, and his personal ability has risen a lot, if he is in the words, not to mention defeating faker on the line, but it is definitely enough to drag faker in the middle, so it is a pity that he is a Chinese." Otherwise, we might actually be able to beat SKT. ”
……
At the place of the passage, Zhou Hao walked towards the outside of the venue, and just a few steps away, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "You are... ROX people? ”
Zhou Hao turned his head and found that SKT's people happened to be on the field, and it was their coach Kkoma who spoke.
Zhou Hao nodded.
"Why haven't I seen you before, are you their trainee?" Kkoma asked again.
"Yes before, but not anymore, I'm going back to my home country China to work professionally." Zhou Hao said calmly.
ROX's Chinese trainees? Kkoma seemed to think of something, and his eyes narrowed suddenly.
Their jungler Bengi asked, "What to call it?" ”
"My name is Myth!"
When several people in SKT heard this name, their eyes lit up slightly, and Faker looked at Zhou Hao, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and said, "Mythology?" ”
