Chapter 491: MSI Final Promo: Transcendence
The summer evening breeze is pleasant.
Therefore, in his spare time, looking at the open sky in the distance has always been Xu Ruoguang's unique way of relaxing.
He is also human.
Even though the desire to win and achieve results has never wavered, sometimes it is better to relax and soothe your nerves.
And at this moment, KKOMA walked up to him, skillfully lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and spit out a puff of smoke in a dashing manner.
"What do you think?"
He asked with his arm resting on the railing and a smile.
"No, I'm wondering if S10 should take a season off, or just take a year off."
Xu Ruoguang shook his head.
This was indeed an idea he had had for a long time.
He doesn't want to get involved in the LPL and the LCK anymore, because it's really hard for him to do it right now.
Although it is said that the LPL is not equal to his homeland.
But in fact, after S8 won the championship, he has already given Tengjing a knife, if S9 can still be won this year, he did vent his dissatisfaction.
However, he also does not want to return to the LPL.
Because he knows very well how LCK has treated him in the past two years, he doesn't have much hostility towards LCK in his heart.
At least the current president of the LCK, his senses are good.
I heard that after this year's fight, Lee Min-hyuk is about to change his term.
S7 on the position, S9 is exactly one Kun year is a term of office.
What kind of person the new president will be at that time, Xu Ruoguang doesn't know.
Lee Min-hyuk was kind to him, but the new president was not.
Xu Ruoguang's willingness to stay in the LCK is also not high.
Counting S5, he has been playing for five years. After playing S9, he wanted to take a break for a while.
"Rest?"
Kkoma spat out a smoke ring, his eyes thoughtful.
"It's fine."
Xu Ruoguang turned his head a little strangely,
"I thought you would persuade me, after all, professional players generally lose their strength quickly after they choose to rest."
KKOMA smiled calmly.
"Ruoguang, you've won a lot of championships, and you're worthy of anyone who expects from you, and you've never let them down, haven't you?"
"In the future, you have to live more for yourself."
"What's more...... I don't think you can't play again if you take a season off or a year. β
"You're the most talented player I've ever seen, not even one of them."
Xu Ruoguang smiled, "Including Lee Sang-hyuk too?" β
KKOMA nodded without hesitation, "Including Lee Sang-hyuk." β
He said with some emotion,
"For five years in a row, I have to train every year for results, and I have already got the results, so it's normal to feel tired and want to rest."
"It's not so much that feeling bored and wanting to rest is an escape, it's more of a human nature."
"Only then can you really be a whole person."
He jokingly said, "To be honest, I used to wonder if you were a robot, otherwise how could you hold out for so long." β
Xu Ruoguang smiled dumbly and shook his head.
"It's not decided yet, but I really have to rest for a while after this year's fight, at least to complete the wedding with her, she has been waiting for me for too long."
"That's good."
Kkoma sighed from the bottom of his heart,
"I wasn't really optimistic about her at the time, but I didn't expect her to last so long, and it really moved you."
"Do professional players like me have to find Internet celebrities?"
Xu Ruoguang sneered,
"Looks aren't the most important thing for me, I like her personality."
"Most importantly, she really likes me."
"That's enough."
"Indeed."
KKOMA nodded approvingly.
What kind of beautiful girlfriend can't be found for someone like Xu Ruoguang?
The problem is, it doesn't help him much, and it doesn't necessarily work for him.
Especially those Internet celebrities, which one is not for the money?
In comparison, it is indeed a very good choice to really like and really care about his grace.
And Enjing's academic ability is not bad, and she is not ugly.
Good character is the most important thing.
For professional players, a girlfriend who is not a demon and has a gentle personality is the best.
Appearance is really secondary.
"By the way, does the best man need to be out of the horse by then?"
KKOMA smiled heartily.
"Of course, it's not just you, but Sang-hyuk."
Xu Ruoguang nodded.
"Sanghyuk? He? β
Kkoma was a little stunned.
"I remember, he used to like ...... too"
"Yes, but he has already given up, saying that the biggest goal in life now is to defeat me."
Xu Ruoguang smiled helplessly.
"He'......"
Kkoma smiled dumbly.
Xianghyuk, Xianghyuk, you don't seem to have a B number in your heart.
Let's not talk about your career, you even lost your relationship, how can you beat Xu Ruoguang?
The next day, UR and EDG both came to the scene of the filming of the MSI finals promotional video.
In yesterday's semi-finals, EDG unsurprisingly defeated the opponent, who was also 3-0, breaking the defense for the European and American audiences.
They are also really uncomfortable.
Every year, Europe and the United States enter the top four at most, and as long as they meet the LPL or LCK teams, they will immediately go home at the speed of light, and the gap is too big to ignore.
Pure experience baby.
Maybe you can steal one or two in the S competition, but MSI is also the first place in the division, and they are just not as good as Asians.
It's no wonder they're struggling.
The current Europe and the United States are the LPL of S4S5.
Not to mention the finals, reaching the semi-finals is considered a success.
When UR arrived at the filming location, the scene was still being set up.
The two teams of players were in the same dressing room, so naturally they began to chat.
"Brother Guang."
Beryl spoke with a hint of resentment.
He was sitting next to Xu Ruoguang at this time, spitting out bitterness.
"You, how can you, send me to EDG?! Loss, I still trust you so much! β
He rubbed his hair frantically.
"Is EDG's life a human being? That's too strict, isn't it? The training intensity is so intense, I can't stand it! β
"Although my teammates are quite satisfied, but this is too tiring, didn't I say that I want to open this year?"
Xu Ruoguang touched his head with some weakness.
"Didn't you tell me you wanted to go to a better club?"
"I've been giving you a look when I told you, I thought you knew me! Brother Guang, you can't understand people's faces at all! β
Beryl was heartbroken.
He regrets it now, EDG is too strict, it is completely different from UR, but the intensity is not low at all.
At UR, although his teammates are all rolling, beryl is also in his first year, and he can barely hold on.
But in EDG, he has already won the championship, so for a salted fish like him, it must be the coolest.
The result?
EDG's players are all the same!
Moreover, although EDG does not force players to have to train every day, it does have a rank score requirement.
Beryl is an assistant, and he actually eats his teammates' performance in rank, and now the king game can't be double-rowed, so the score is sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
As a result, he can only fight hard every day.
It was a bit torture for him.
"How does it feel to come to MSI and say goodbye?"
Xu Ruoguang smiled and spoke.
ββ¦β¦ The topic has shifted too bluntly, hey! β
Beryl complained mercilessly.
But after hesitating, he smiled.
"It's okay, it's okay."
He looked at the pros in the room with a happy expression.
"Not bad."
For beryl, that time in S8 is also a very precious memory for him.
"Isn't that enough? If everyone is at MSI, but you are on vacation alone, don't you feel very lost? β
Xu Ruoguang said gently.
"No, I'll feel good."
Beryl is very upright.
Xu Ruoguang had a headache.
In fact, the transfer must have been discussed with Beryl at that time, and no one could force him to transfer.
At that time, Beryl never dreamed that he would be so tired.
for he knew Ah Shui.
Ah Shui is a well-known lazy dog in Hanbok, except for S6 and S7 when they play with Xu Ruoguang, the training intensity is very high, and S8's Ah Shui training highlights a casual edge, an iron lazy dog.
Even Ah Shui went to EDG, EDG must be very easy, right?
That's what he thought.
Who knows, it's not like this at all!
Ah Shui is also training frantically when he arrives at EDG.
Beryl was blown away.
Everyone said let's be a pendulum together, are you working your horse?!
Beryl hates it.
The culprit's Ah Shui smiled,
"Brother Guang, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"UR bean curd Yu Wenbo, out of the ranks!"
Xu Ruoguang nodded with a smile, and suddenly teased.
"Here!"
Ah Shui really didn't expect him to be so naΓ―ve, so he had to reluctantly reply.
"Hahaha."
The whole lounge burst into laughter.
Brother Saint Gun pushed Ah Shui, and Ah Shui understood.
"Brother Guang, do me a favor."
"Huh?"
Xu Ruoguang was a little puzzled.
Ah Shui took out a photo, which was the photo of him when he was in S6 and K1.
"Sign for me, we're your fans."
Xu Ruoguang was a little surprised, looked at the Holy Spear Brother who was standing behind him and was a little twisted, and nodded with a slight smile.
I happily took the photo.
After thinking about it, he wrote down a line.
"I wish you a bright future in your career, Emporer, May 18, 2019."
"Thank you, Brother Guang."
Brother Saint Gun couldn't wait to take it and carefully received it in his bag.
"I remember, Flandrew, you seem to be the top order of Snake once, right?"
Xu Ruoguang recalled slightly, and spoke with some determination.
"Uh-huh."
Brother Saint Lance nodded a little crampedly, looked at him seriously, and said.
"Thank you so much at that time, Brother Guang, otherwise we would have regretted it for a long time."
Xu Ruoguang waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay." β
He knew what Brother Saint was talking about.
At that time, the schedule of the Snake team was too outrageous, and two BO5s a day could really scrap the players.
If you don't know, forget it.
Now that I know it, I have the ability to help.
Then help.
This is Xu Ruoguang's code of conduct.
He knew he didn't have the power to help everyone, but he was willing to do his part.
He liked Mr. Lu Xun's words very much.
Those who can do things do things, and those who can speak up can speak up.
If a friend asks him for any questions on weekdays, he usually agrees.
Except to fight Texas with them.
Ah Shui followed Uzi and them to play Texas before, although Xu Ruoguang didn't know if he had any money, but he didn't like it very much.
Li Xiaocang sat quietly beside him, and only then did he speak calmly until the players around him had gone to put on makeup.
"Will you go back to LPL next year?"
Faced with his question, Xu Ruoguang shook his head and had no idea of concealing it.
"I'm going to take a season off."
"Really?"
Li Xiaocang was noncommittal.
"Can you come to EDG for the summer game?"
"Hey ......"
Xu Ruoguang was a little funny,
"If you're like that, Flandorow will be sad."
"No, he's just going to be happy."
Li Xiaocang smiled.
"He's a big fan of yours, and I wish you were coming."
"My contract is very expensive......
Before Xu Ruoguang finished speaking, Abu, who was standing behind them, had already leaned over with his eyes.
"Is 111 really here, brother, if you come, I'll report to Boss Edzhu immediately, money is not a problem."
Xu Ruoguang: ......
"Coach Abu. Pay attention. β
He had no choice but to hold his forehead.
"Hahaha, it's me who lost my temper."
Abu touched his nose and laughed.
Not embarrassed at all.
Inviting Xu Ruoguang to EDG, Abu Ke dreamed of it.
At that time, I am afraid that he will be directly promoted and raised, become the general manager, marry Bai Fumei, and embark on the peak of his life.
It's a little exciting to think about.
"Emporer, it's your turn!"
"Here we are."
Xu Ruoguang got up,
"Goodbye, Coach Abu, Xiaocan, I'm going to put on makeup."
Abu smiled and nodded.
It's the same with Li Xiaocan.
Waiting for Xu Ruoguang's figure to disappear, Ming Kai walked to Abu's side.
"How's it going to be at UR? The food is ok, it should be. β
Abu asked skillfully.
"Okay."
Ming Kai hadn't seen him for a long time, but he wasn't familiar with him at all.
"What kind of player do you think Xu Ruoguang is?"
Abu was most curious about this.
No matter how much you know about other places, it's better to get in touch with them.
"How can I say it......"
Ming Kai fell into deep thought.
"He's the kind, the kind that's really special."
"He is very talented, ridiculously strong, and then he trains very hard, and he will practice in the hero pool, even if he doesn't play for a long time, it's still no problem."
"Don't just boast! Tell me about weaknesses. β
Abu disgruntled.
"Hmm...... I train too late every day and I'm worried that he won't be able to hold on, is this a weakness? β
Ming Kai pondered for a moment.
Abu:......
This is a weakness of Goba!
At this time, the whole UR team was already posing according to the photographer's request.
This time, Riot finally didn't make up some kind of [Fateful Duel] or something like that.
Basically, they are only required to pose.
The current UR is located on the rooftop of a very tall building on this side.
Leaning on the steps, several people are scattered on several steps of different heights, sitting in various positions, facing the camera.
The camera is an almost upward view of the UR player.
"Emporer, give me a kill look, you know?"
The fist photographer lay on the ground excitedly and spoke.
This angle is his favorite angle, and only in this way can the powerful oppressive force of UR be revealed.
As requested by the photographer.
Xu Ruoguang raised his head, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the camera with contempt, one long leg was placed in front of his face, and the other leg was stretched out of the camera.
"Good, very good! That's it! β
The photographer was very excited.
After putting on makeup, Xu Ruoguang's originally handsome and delicate appearance completely became dazzling, even if he was still wearing UR's team uniform, but the UR team uniform was not ugly, and with his already excellent expression management, the sense of sharpness and the feeling of youth and frivolity became more and more profound.
To his left is Canyon, who is sitting reclining and looking at the camera.
Canyon, who used to always smile silly, is still very murderous when he's not smiling.
Although he broke his work with a smile and showed his simple temperament, at least he was bluffing people now.
Facing the camera, he gave a serious thumbs up.
Lee Sang-hyuk's patent has been infringed again, so it can only be said.
On the other side behind Xu Ruoguang, Tian Ye blocked half of his face with one hand, revealing a bright smile on his face, and the other hand was on his knee.
Dashing!
Behind Nosuke, there is a double C.
No, it's actually the three Cs.
Viper raised his fists solemnly and bumped fists with deft on the left and Xu Xiu on the right.
Xu Xiu also had a smile on his face, and gently pushed his glasses.
A UR team uniform was a little loose on his body, but it looked more free and spirited.
Deft's face was calm, and only the corners of his mouth were slightly curved to show that he was in a good mood.
"Good! Next up is EDG! β
"EDG players, come on, come on."
Unlike the seated UR, the EDG at this time is all standing.
Whereas, the angle is chosen to be the angle of the top view.
Everyone leaned on the stairs, scattered, slightly raised to look at the camera, all hands in their pockets.
The leader is Li Xiaocang.
After going to UR in the field, he is already the undoubted soul of the current EDG.
At this time, Li Xiaocang and Li Xiaocang in reality are completely two states.
In reality, Li Xiaocang didn't have any achievements when he came to EDG, and he only thought about leaving EDG after winning the championship.
Because at that time, after the end of S11, he had already achieved fame and could already return to his hometown.
But here Li Xiaocang is different.
Because he got the grades, and then he went to EDG.
EDG valued him very much, and he had no idea of rushing back to South Korea.
So there is no problem with him being the core of EDG now.
The shooting lasted until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was finally time to end.
Xu Ruoguang was probably the last contestant to record trash talk.
When he came out, the promotional video for the finals was officially over.
After greeting the EDG players, UR chose to return to the lounge.
There was no training today because tomorrow is the final, so the most important thing is to take a break.
"What is the theme of the promotional video for the MSI finals?"
Xu Ruoguang asked curiously.
"Beyond."
Kkoma said softly.
"Transcendence......" Xu Ruoguang smiled thoughtfully.
"Not bad."
Online, the warm-up begins!
"The 2019 MSI Mid-Season Invitational Final UR vs. EDG match is about to take place!"
"Is it the same UR crushing as always, or will EDG break the shadow of defeat in the group stage?!"
"Let's wait and see!"
Twitter, Weibo, Sticker.
Everywhere is frantically predicting water stickers.
Now is the heyday of League of Legends, and the heat is terrifying.
Twitter is in full bloom.
"Is it only me who thinks Emporer is invincible?"
"EDG is not weak, you guys watch too few LPL games! The upper limit of EDG can not be low. β
"No matter how high the ceiling is, you have to be able to beat it!"
"If you really talk about the ceiling, will UR lose? Someone will have a higher membership limit than the champion? β
"What are you doing so much, why don't you buy a set of UR's S8 skins."
"Farke, you reminded me brother."
Weibo is harmonious.
"I support EDG, but I also want Emporer to win, but he's really handsome."
"Same Jimei, I also like Emporer, he is really a treasure boy."
β+1οΌ But Tian Ye and Ah Shui are also very cute. β
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Isn't there my big cutie Li Xiaocan?!"
It can only be said that the Jimei on Weibo is still strong enough.
But it's pretty much the same.
"Jiba, don't say much, support EDG, and unanimously shout to the outside world!"
"Pig miscellaneous csysm, it is impossible to support EDG in your life, you will die of this heart."
"Huang Zai, get out of here, damn MSI without RNG, you are inconsistent with the outside world?"
"Don't be embarrassed, I'm Huangza, I also support EDG, and I've been cut justice."
"One thing to say, I want EDG to win, but I also want Brother Guang to win."
"Brother Guang has won so many championships, just let one or two for everyone, please provoke!"
"People who believe in EDG are just as ridiculous as people who believe that RNG will make it to Worlds this year."
"Good guy, what are you going to do to attack both of them at the same time?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a ten-year-old fan of IP."
"That's really a cow batch, a champion fan of the Bird's Nest, Ha Ren, you are the best."
"Where are the ten-year-old fans of K1?"
"Here!"
"Here!"
"Here!"
At this time, KKOMA was working on the final tactical design.
ββ¦β¦ Tomorrow when I hit EDG, I'll lay it out like this. β
After he finished talking about his plan, he nodded.
"I think it should work well."
"The first one will come directly, and the second one will definitely be on their guard."
Xu Ruoguang nodded approvingly.
"Do I need to wander as far as I can?"
Tian Ye confirmed.
"Yes, if I can't break through quickly in the lane, I'd better link up with the jungler as much as possible."
Kkoma nodded,
"Beryl is a very wandering player, and if we can't catch Ah Shui while he is swimming, we will lose a lot."
"I see."
Tian Ye nodded.
To be honest, he was a little nervous.
Beryl is the champion support who just won the championship last year, and his excellent walking ability and command ability on the S8 are vividly reflected.
In the face of such an opponent, even Tian Ye will still be nervous.
Until 8 p.m., KKOMA clapped his hands and told all the contestants to rest.
The next day, Xu Ruoguang woke up from his bed.
This was a good night for him to sleep on, at least Xu Xiu didn't catch fire today.
Skillfully and quietly, he put on his team uniform and tidied up his cuffs.
Then start checking your peripherals.
His peripherals are checked very carefully.
If the final is the battlefield, then the peripherals are the guns in his hands.
If something goes wrong at a critical moment, it's too uncomfortable.
Complete the inspection and walk downstairs.
Follow your teammates to Kaohsiung Gymnasium!
When I came to the outside of the venue, I saw a lot of fans.
There are not only Asian faces, but even blonde European and American fans.
They cheered and whistled.
"Emporer, come on!"
Xu Ruoguang smiled and nodded solemnly.
Come to the entrance, look at the arena in front of you, and take a deep breath.
Come on!
I'm ready!
MSI King, I'm decided!
