October 26th.

On an ordinary autumn day, a cool breeze blows through the street outside the Vesta Allegre Palace in Madrid, Spain, where a bus stops quietly.

As if seeing what they longed to see, the crowd that had gathered outside began to rush towards this side in unison, with excitement and urgency on their faces.

When Xu Ruoguang stepped off the bus, the voice was boiling at this moment.

“…… Come on, UR! Hit me hard today! ”

“…… Brother Guang is going to work hard today! Be sure to beat KT and create a new legend!! ”

“Emporer！！！ you are my goat！ ”

"Dry daddy! A big brother who can play Kenhime! ”

“…… Come on, Brother Guang!! My wife and I bought tickets to come and see it! ”

All kinds of cheering sounds lingered around him, and various languages and accents made him a little dazed.

I don't know when it started, but he has so many fans that he can't see it with the naked eye.

Everybody everywhere has it.

There are Asians, there are Europeans, and there are Black Uncles.

There are middle-aged couples, rebellious teenagers, literary girls, and social people who look social.

None of that matters, though.

Under the warm sunshine of early autumn, the handsome young man wearing the UR team uniform had a bright and bright smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and the originally noisy place instantly became silent.

He nodded with satisfaction, facing the camera that had come over at some point, facing his fans, and spreading his hands.

With a determination that is inevitable, he speaks confidently.

“I will be the king。”

I will be that king!

Considering that there were more European and American audiences at the scene, and no one should understand this simple English, Xu Ruoguang spoke English.

Not surprisingly, the next moment, the cheers that soared into the sky almost resounded in the sky.

European and American fans are already going crazy.

They just like to be crazy!

It's not popular in Europe and the United States to hide the clumsy set, you can do it, you should be crazy!

Xu Ruoguang's statement naturally made them extremely happy and proud.

That's what I like!

No matter who the opponent is today, he still has absolute confidence.

Because in the field of League of Legends, he is the only king!

In the corner where no one cared, the other players and coaching staff of UR had sneaked into the venue.

"This is what Brother Guang said to help us attract attention? I feel like he's just trying to pretend, damn, the most annoying pretending person. ”

Xu Xiu carried the peripherals on his back, complained mercilessly, and quoted a famous quote he saw on Weibo recently.

"What do you mean by pretending-forced?"

Viper didn't understand.

"I'll teach you, come, open the phone, find this Baidu, click search, and then there is a tieba inside, yes, that's it, click to download, and then learn Chinese, you will soon understand."

Xu Xiu was very enthusiastic.

"The old brother inside speaks nicely, Wu, I like it very much."

The corners of Tian Ye's mouth twitched, "Xiu'er, what do you want to do?" Brother Guang will definitely scold you if he finds out. ”

Deft nodded approvingly.

Last time, Xu Xiu also wanted him to post it, but he was caught by Xu Ruoguang and spent an afternoon with Xu Xiu, which almost ruined him.

Ming Kai on the side also nodded with some feeling and sighed.

"Paste it...... I still remember the running in the sunset that day, it was my lost youth. ”

Ming Kai also used to use Tieba because online dating failed at that time.

It was also an unforgettable love for him.

Canyon tried hard to eat fruit to supplement his vitamins, don't ask him what the situation is now, Canyon doesn't know.

"I'm afraid of him? Ha? You think I'm afraid of him? ”

Xu Xiu sneered.

"The old man, I let him when I was solo."

"Really?"

Some funny voices came from behind Xu Xiu, Xu Xiu turned his head vigilantly, and a smile instantly changed on his face.

"Oh, isn't this just brother? Just kidding, you wouldn't mind, would you? ”

Canyon, who was eating melons on the side, gave a thumbs up.

Is this the reaction of the top midlaners?

"Don't mind, let's go."

Xu Ruoguang shook his head and followed KKOMA inside.

Xu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly I heard Xu Ruoguang, who was walking in front, say,

"Let's practice again after the fight, this time we are not allowed to release water."

"Huh!?"

Half an hour later, the UR crowd after finishing their makeup was already standing backstage, waiting for the game to start.

Xu Xiu clenched his fists and looked like he was gritting his teeth.

Until he came to the stage and sat on the chair, he still looked murderous.

This also aroused the alarm of KT mid-single BDD.

Xu Xiu, our relationship should be reasonable, right?

Why do you look like you're trying to punch me through?

So angry?

The audience apparently found out too.

"Ghost, Xu Xiu! Resolute eyes! ”

"This gives me a hunch that Brother Xu is going to start swimming in the dragon."

"It's murderous, Showmaker!"

"Does the anger state have a buff? Can Xu Xiu become a quick-break Saiah gold today? ”

"It feels like my hair is blonde."

Xu Xiu on the field didn't know what they were thinking, he only knew that he wanted to kill now.

As soon as he thought of being abused by Brother Guang after the fight, he couldn't help but get angry.

If I hadn't played today, I would have said that kind of thing and still be heard?

Will I need to be abused?

It's all KT's fault!

Although this is quite unreasonable, it is comparable to Xu Xiu accidentally stepping on a banana peel and falling when he went out, and then got up and said: It's all to blame KT!

But it doesn't matter.

Xu Xiu has only one idea now.

I'm killing kill!

"Xiu'er, hand over the bag of toilet paper, I splashed the water."

Xu Ruoguang's voice came.

The anger on Xu Xiu's face suddenly turned into a smile, "Hey, good brother." ”

When he finished handing the paper, anger appeared on his face again.

It's all KT's fault! Otherwise, Brother Guang's water wouldn't have splashed!

Smeb looked at Xu Ruoguang, who was quietly wiping the desktop not far from the next door, and his eyes burned.

Finally, here it is.

Xu Ruoguang.

You and me, the final battle.

Smeb knows very well that for Xu Ruoguang, his pitiful winning rate, let alone an old enemy, is difficult to call even an opponent.

But so what?

I've never given up.

By now, Smeb is no longer entangled in the simple victory or defeat, he just wants to convey his unyielding will through the game.

Even if I don't win once.

Even if I keep failing.

But!

Xu Ruoguang, please don't forget.

Once upon a time, there was a top order called Smeb......

I want to beat you in my dreams.

In your life, I've been here!

Retracting his gaze, Smeb gently and carefully sorted out his peripherals.

He had a gentle look, quiet and focused.

After this fight, if he is eliminated by UR, then his career will end here, and the story of the ID belonging to Smeb will be completely over.

b, about to disconnect.

Even if you win, the end of this year's Worlds will be the same.

His story is coming to an end.

In this closing moment, Smeb wants to shine his own light.

And when he was carefully sorting out his peripherals, Smeb, who had already put on his headphones, did not hear the interview clip that had begun to play behind him.

"What do you think of Emporer?"

In the dark space, there was only Smeb sitting in a chair, wearing glasses and wearing a KT team uniform.

Facing the host's question, Smeb bowed his head slightly and thought for a long time.

Only then did he smile and speak.

"An undoubted legendary top list, he should become an idol and role model for all top lists."

He paused, then added earnestly.

"Including me."

The moderator was silent for a moment, then continued to ask.

"You seem to have a lot of respect for him? But as far as we know, you really want to beat him, and you've been working hard. ”

Smeb nodded without hesitation,

"Yes, I want to be the one who defeated him."

"Not relying on my teammates, not relying on anything else, beating him with dignity, that's what I've been working for, and that's why I'm here."

"I admire him, I worship him, I recognize him, I respect him, but I want me to beat him."

"Even if we have a talent gap, even if I've never won even once, I think so."

The host was stunned.

"Talent gap?"

It's hard for him to imagine that such words coming from the mouth of a man who has made it to the knockout rounds and has been a top laner for many years in a row.

This is already admitting that he is inferior to his opponent.

But Smeb was calm, and he looked straight at the camera.

"I've never stopped trying since my first failure. So far, I've been training for more than 12 hours a day, I'm practicing every hero, I'm constantly trying to beat him, I've never thrown in the towel, I've done my best, even with another Smeb, it's impossible to work as hard as I do. ”

"But I don't feel like the gap between us is narrowing."

"A long time ago, I felt the talent gap, it was when I was in school, my classmates didn't make platinum for a year, but I only had three days in League of Legends and I got a diamond."

"And such a gap is reflected in Xu Ruoguang and me."

Smeb said softly.

"I became that classmate."

On the road of talent, Smeb is proud of many people.

In the game League of Legends, his talent is close to the top, and he is not much away from the championship, or not at all.

Even when he first debuted, he could easily defeat many senior professional players.

Amazing, it's not an exaggeration to describe Smeb.

However, the gap between him and Xu Ruoguang is also so big.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even see Xu Ruoguang's exhaust.

In front of Xu Ruoguang, he seemed to have become that ordinary person.

And the reputation of genius is only worthy of Xu Ruoguang alone.

It's a very cruel thing.

Esports requires far more talent than reading.

It's not that the threshold for esports is higher, but the proportion of talent is different.

Studying, as long as you are a normal person, hard work is really effective, 99% sweat plus 1% talent, you can be admitted to a very good university, you don't need to be very talented at all.

What about eSports?

Sorry, 99% sweat can only make you an ordinary diamond player, because diamonds are already the limit of the vast majority of ordinary people.

And diamonds, not even the door to the profession.

E-sports is the rice of youth, but also the rice of talent.

If you don't have talent, you just can't.

Talented players who work hard will improve more than untalented players who train 12 hours a day.

It's that real.

You studied hard all night, and at the end of the final exam you scored 80 points.

After class, people just play and never review, and then they flipped through the book for five minutes before the exam, and took a hundred exams.

Who can hold on to this?

"Is there anything you'd like to say to your opponent, Emporer?"

The moderator asked one last question.

Smeb lowered his head, then lifted his head.

With a heartfelt smile on his face,

"Even if I lose to you this time, I'm very happy."

"Thank you."

"It's my luck to be in the same era as you."

The picture gradually dimmed, and then, in the same dark space, Xu Ruoguang, who was wearing a UR team uniform, looked at the camera with a calm expression.

The moderator asked the same question.

"What do you think of Smeb?"

Xu Ruoguang was slightly silent, and then spoke quietly.

"One, I approve of the order."

"Recognition? Smeb players have always been your losers, don't you think he is incompetent, but will approve of him? ”

Xu Ruoguang smiled lightly and asked rhetorically.

"Why not?"

"It's true that Smeb has never been able to beat me, but not everyone has so many chances to challenge me."

He straightened his cuffs flatly, and glanced obliquely at the camera, his eyes fierce and haughty.

"I'm the No. 1 player in the world."

This sentence is very plain, but anyone can hear the confidence and arrogance in it.

"You mean, is Smeb your approved opponent?"

Xu Ruoguang nodded without hesitation.

"Hmm."

"In this era, the other top laners have all kinds of problems, and they can't be called my opponents."

He used plain and sharp words to comment on the top orders who had played against him.

"Cuvee is old, Theshy will never learn to be steady, Marin has retired, Khan always has too many concerns, others? I don't have an impression anymore. ”

"The only person who can make me an opponent is Smeb."

This is really crazy, and it can basically be said that it has belittled all the top orders that many people think are now.

On the contrary, he was said by Xu Ruoguang.

So it makes people feel unusually reasonable.

As the number one in the world, comment on what happened to your defeated generals?

I don't want to be told that, but you win.

Can't win?

Then shut up.

But even so, the barrage is still brushing a word.

Mad!

Sure enough, Brother Guang is either not tidy, but big as soon as it is whole.

"So, do you have anything to say to Smeb?"

The moderator swallowed and asked one last question.

Xu Ruoguang thought for a moment.

“Smeb。”

"You've ......"

"It's my opponent."

As the voices of the youth faded away, the pre-match interviews began to jump to the trash talk of other players.

However, compared to the other contestants' tense trash talk, this clip of the two top singles evaluating each other is more impressive.

"It's rare, Brother Guang once said that he has never had an opponent before, and today he actually said that he recognized Smeb as an opponent, ghost, and only Smeb has this treatment, right?"

"Smeb's career is indeed a bit of a pity, he could have won the championship originally, if there was no Brother Guang."

"I don't think necessarily, without such a lot of pressure from Brother Guang, would Smeb really be able to get to where he is today?"

"To put it bluntly, Brother Guang is too fierce, Smeb is really born at the wrong time."

"Smeb himself said that he felt lucky in the same era as Brother Guang, isn't this the charm of e-sports?"

"I'm starting to like Smeb a little bit."

The barrage also has some regrets for Smeb.

In fact, Smeb has never fallen behind, but he just can't beat Xu Ruoguang.

The pre-match side selection has begun, and KKOMA went with great interest and returned with great interest.

"Blue side, kids, win!"

He couldn't be happier.

Whoever says I'm mildew, give me a list!

Our luck in this competition is really unmatched.

It's really worse than looking at red rice, and my kkoma brother's luck has always been okay.

This version of the blue side has a higher priority for UR.

"Red side, too."

KT can also accept it, after all, the red side can take the counter position, whether it is against Xu Ruoguang or Xu Xiu, it can be of good use.

In one round of moving, KKOMA took the lead in blocking the Titans.

KT's Auxiliary Snowflower is an unquestionable Titan Killer.

In the version of the auxiliary Titan Luo Dawn Hammerstone, he plays the most Titans.

The win rate is also the highest.

Naturally, there is no need to give it to him.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers.

League of Legends is a very barrel-effect game.

You C, your teammates are very good, it's hard for you to win.

But your teammates are okay, and even if you're not particularly C, you have a good chance of winning.

There can't be any shortcomings, otherwise it will be easy to have an embarrassing situation of raising monsters.

Therefore, kkoma chose to target the support first-hand, just to make this UR lower lane can play enough offensive effect.

The bottom lane team that is currently in the field is Viper and Meiko.

KT is clearly a team with a core of Kaminakano.

Of course, kkoma is not afraid to play with them in the middle field, but now that there is an obvious opportunity to order KT to go down, kkoma will naturally not let it go.

"Panson."

Coach KT spoke in a serious tone.

The revised Pan Sen has a very high priority in today's Worlds, and is almost the most OP hero in the Worlds.

Whether it's FPX, UR, or even EDG, they all like to use Panson very much.

The strength of the version is certain.

It's basically a hand-off ban that the red side must resist.

"Zoe."

In the second hand, kkoma chose to target Zoe for BDD.

If you choose a Zoe spokesperson in this era, then it can only be BDD.

Xu Xiu and Faker's Zoe are not as exaggerated as BDD's proficiency, and they can be called Zoe himself.

Just like Clid's blind monk, no matter how bad the state of Zoe's BDD is, there is no doubt that he is a top mid-laner.

"Kaisha."

And the second hand of the KT coach made kkoma squint his eyes and couldn't help but smile.

Interesting.

This coach, kkoma, found himself underestimating him a little.

This hand BP is very beautiful.

KT is the red side and UR is the blue side.

With the Kaisha Titans all moved, the remaining top bottom lane group is only Xia Luo.

It is almost impossible for UR to grab Kasumi or Luo first, because there is only one husband and wife group, and there are too many lower lane groups that can be played.

The traditional Verustham, and even the less traditional Yasuo barrel, Galen cats, can be beaten.

Especially the counter of the female tan to Luo, which caused Luo to not be able to go out first.

And what about robbing Xia?

On the opposite side, the backhand is taken with Verus, and the functionality of the lower lane group is almost stretched to the extreme, and the line is not particularly afraid.

Xia's ability to line up in the early stage is not strong, and it can't put much pressure on her.

But......

The plan is good, but if I do play with Galen, how will you deal with it?

KKOMA decisively removed Verus with the third hand.

At this moment, Coach KT's face became serious.

Moving Verus is usually a short-handed lower lane group, and then early Yasuo Barrel or Galen Cat.

Could it be said?

"No, it's unlikely, Viper has never played Galen!"

His mind was spinning wildly, and his instincts told him there was something wrong.

He doesn't want to move, but if he doesn't, what if something really goes wrong?

It looks like this is kkoma's clear trap, and if he really moves, he will be fooled.

But if the Galen cat is really released, it will be even more uncomfortable.

The reason why Galen's cat is fierce is because now except for AD like Verus Sivir, which can be consumed all the time, other AD can't consume his blood at all.

When it comes to the early team battle, the role played is far stronger than the early AD.

Do you want to gamble?

Coach KT's expression changed, and he finally gritted his teeth.

Bet!

"Angel!"

Third, he didn't move the cat, but chose to move the angel.

This is undoubtedly the first-hand version of BP, and the strength of Angel in the current version is unquestionable.

Xu Ruoguang and Xu Xiu are both playing angels, and it is impossible to give them first-hand.

"I didn't get crolled."

KKOMA was not disappointed either.

Verus is not moving in vain, at least now there are more strong combinations that can be produced in the bottom lane.

And even if it's for nothing...... So what?

It's so good to do BP at UR.

KKOMA has basically never moved the hero of the opposite single.

Xu Ruoguang's outstanding thing is stability.

Stable C!

Although you BP, let Xu Ruoguang think for himself.

There are so many bans in kkoma that you can't use them up at all.

Even if a ban bit is wasted, it still doesn't hurt for kkoma.

This is Xu Ruoguang's confidence in kkoma!

You're right, but in my team, there is a name with three characters and an E letter, and a height of more than one meter and eight meters!

What? theshy？

This is not theshy Kang Seung-chi.

This is our UR Emporer Xu Ruoguang!

First-hand, KKOMA chose Kasumi.

If you come out first, then Coach KT is not welcome.

Lock directly onto the Yasuoga keg.

There's no way he's going to rob Luo.

The sunshine girls are still there, take Luo first?

KT coaches generally call this kind of person stupid.

Now give you Xia Luo, do you dare to take it?

Yasuo Casks are also a very hot bottom lane group in the Worlds right now, and playing the traditional Kaisha Titan or Charlo has been very effective.

It also eliminates the appearance of hook-type heroes, such as hammerstone and robots.

Wind wall, forever dripping gods!

However, KKOMA originally wanted them to choose Yasuo barrels.

It's okay to choose this combination, but what do you do in the middle and late stages?

He's just going to force KT to walk a tightrope!

Take the cat and Kiana with two or three backhands.

kkoma is very good at changing BP strategies.

Since you want to play offense and are discovered by your KT, then simply switch strategies.

Now, it's time to defend and counterattack.

Kitty?

Coach KT was lost in thought.

The cat is not weak on the line, but you dare to come out in the face of the barrel Yasuo?

Isn't it too inappropriate?

As for Kiana......

To be honest, the KT coach didn't think it would have any effect.

No matter what, it's better to follow your own ideas!

After making the decision, BP did it faster and faster.

The line-ups of both sides are as follows:

Blue square UR:

Top Single Jace

Jungler Kiana

Mid laner Ryz

The lower road group Kasumiga cat.

Red Square KT:

Top single crocodile

Jungle Rock Sparrow

Mid laner Silas

Lower road group Yasoga barrels.

It's game on!
