On May 21st, the MSI finals officially began.

Probably because of the change in the competition system, everyone's expectations for the finals this year are really not high.

To be reasonable, the games before the finals are better.

It can also be reflected in the ratings.

The final belongs to the LPL civil war, so it is natural for many people to lose interest.

Europe and the United States are slightly better, anyway, they can't get into the finals most of the time, and they have long been used to it.

The stick side really broke the big defense, and there was no interest in watching the finals at all.

It must have affected the ratings of the finals invisibly, and there were many people watching the game in South Korea.

Although domestic fans are more cool, they will definitely watch it.

However, domestic data has never been within the scope of Riot's statistics.

In addition to the civil war, there is also a reason why V5 hits JD.com, and everyone has seen too much this year.

In the LPL finals, it was the two of them, and they had already played once since they came to MSI, and after a week or so, the two teams met again in the finals.

If it's BO5 alone, you've already played three finals.

The fight is too frequent, and Jingdong kneels faster and faster, which really makes it difficult to look forward to how exciting the finals are.

Even when T1 played V5 before, everyone felt that there was not much suspense, but there were still many Feike fans.

Many people don't want anything else, just waiting for a faith in their hearts to see if there can be a miracle.

In a team like JD.com, which has few fans, it is clear that no supporters will be so religious.

Chen Ke simply made his debut and quickly ended the battle in straight sets.

Since they all know that they can't beat it, it is meaningless to simply give JD a good time, let them win a game, and delay everyone's time.

After losing the game, Jingdong didn't have a temper at all.

Except for the Blue Lotus, which is estimated to be a little unhappy, the players are okay.

Before they fight, they know in their hearts.

Coupled with back-to-back losses to V5 this season, they don't even have any illusions.

The MSI runner-up result is in line with their expectations.

At least this game is not ashamed.

A lot of teams don't know how they're going to end up until they go to international tournaments.

Again, many times you don't play games, but the reputation rises faster.

Of course, if the game is played well, the income will be higher.

It's a pity that Jingdong was by the boss.,This time after the MSI is over.,If you can not be scolded, you can complete the task.。

……

Golden rain falls at London's Copper Box Stadium.

Bathed in the starlight, Chen Ke and his teammates once again lifted the golden trophy.

MSI's trophy does look good.,It's a pity that this thing doesn't give skin.。

In Chen Ke's opinion, the MSI championship is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Generally, if you get MSI, there will be some problems in the S competition after half a year.

So after S6, no team has been able to win both the MSI and S championships at the same time, and some teams have come close, but in the end they are still one step behind.

It's all about MSI's champions being weakened by Fist, but that's actually only part of the reason.

Ever since the V5 was able to win the championship for a second time, there has not been much mention of this statement.

In everyone's opinion, the V5 has been able to be strong for so long enough to shatter the claim that Riot deliberately targeted it.

It may be true, but it doesn't work.

The most embarrassing aspect of MSI at the moment is that there are no substantial rewards.

What kind of bonuses you say, in fact, they are very empty, and the LOL event itself is not an event known for its prize money.

Of course, this model is relatively healthy, and the players play well and generally get a good salary, which is much stronger than the main income relying on bonuses.

Besides, the prize money of MSI can't be compared to the S game.

If you give a skin, it will hit the status of the S champion again.

I believe that Riot is also thinking about this issue, and has not been able to come up with a measure, which means that it really didn't think of a good idea.

Many people are saying that it would be nice to make a skin for the team that got the MSI, which can be regarded as a certain commemorative significance.

In fact, there are many drawbacks to this initiative, and it is easier for a hero to represent a player.

But if you want to represent a team, there's a lot of controversy.

And the sales of a skin, to be honest, that's it.

Before the trophy was put down, the host came up.

It was the post-game interview that everyone is familiar with.

After half a year of training, the three newcomers in the team are also more handy when dealing with this kind of occasion.

At least I won't say a few words that are not nutritious, and I can express my emotions in words.

Don't underestimate this ability, many LPL professional players can't do it at all.

"Real, after winning this championship, you are already the MSI Triple Crown + S Triple Crown, becoming the first player in history to win this honor, what do you want to say now?"

This MSI may not be needed much by Chen Ke, but fans still need it very much.

Because after winning this MSI championship, Chen Ke's position as the first person in history has become more stable.

In the honor of important international competitions, Chen Ke surpassed Feike for the first time.

When we won the S competition last year, the number of champions was the same, but Chen Ke won three consecutive championships, and the meaning was obviously different.

And every time you win the championship, it's FMVP, basically there is no problem with the first person, but there must be a lot of unconvinced fans of Feike.

For example, the trend of public opinion in South Korea in the past six months is that Chen Ke and Feike are the two greatest players in LOL history.

Not to mention who is the first, it creates a sense of peerless arrogance.

Overall, there is no problem, after all, everyone has the same number of champions, if you really want to talk about league championships, Feike is still the one with more.

And all other data, such as total kills and the like, Chen Ke and Feike have a certain gap, this is because the debut time gap is too big, there is nothing to do.

Now that he won the MSI championship, Chen Ke is one MSI ahead.

It looks like the lead is not much, but in fact it is firmly crushed.

Chen Ke smiled, in order to take care of domestic fans, he answered in Chinese in today's interview.

I only heard Chen Ke say: "It feels great to be able to win the three consecutive championships of MSI and S competitions, and all of this is inseparable from the help of my teammates." ”

The teammates standing beside Chen Ke also knew that Chen Ke was being polite.

But don't say it, after Chen Ke finished speaking, they did feel warm.

"But I think if it's three MSI championships + four S championships, it will be even more special."

“WOW！！！”

As soon as Chen Ke's voice fell, the scene became high.

There are too many Chinese people who come to the scene to watch the finals, so even if Chen Ke speaks Chinese, everyone can get the meaning for the first time.

The scene instantly erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the interpreter just picked up the microphone, feeling that there was no room for his own play.

Of course, there were also a lot of European fans at the scene, and they really couldn't understand what was said.

But when I saw that everyone else was hi, they followed suit.

The meaning of Chen Ke's words is already very clear.

After winning the MSI championship, it is equivalent to getting a job done.

Next, this champion will be put aside and try to chase his fourth S-Race title.

After waiting for about 10 seconds, the translation came in handy.

After the translator expressed the meaning of Chen Ke's original words in English, there was another burst of cheers at the scene.

The host's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to summarize, Chen Ke spoke again: "After winning the third MSI championship, I found that the number of MSI championships in my personal life has exceeded that of the entire LCK division. ”

"Before, it was LPL>LCK, and after today's game, it was Chen Ke > LCK."

Although there is no Korean team in the finals, Chen Ke will not let go of this opportunity, and he has to find an angle to give the stick a bit.

Let them know what it means to kill people.

One person is bigger than your entire division, if Chen Ke said this, there is nothing wrong with it.

said that LPL is stronger than LCK, but it is only because of Chen Ke.

……

The follow-up FMVP trophy is still Chen Ke's, but Chen Ke is too lazy to look at it, and it has no effect at all.

By the end of the media interview, everyone could finally take a vacation.

In the evening, I had dinner with Jingdong, and the boss of Jingdong, Blue Lotus, had a treat, and invited everyone to have a good meal.

Obviously, I also realized that my previous remarks were a bit stupid, and this was to ease the relationship.

When Chen Ke was eating, he swiped the forum.

It is outrageous to find that after JD lost the finals, public opinion is much better than before.

After the dinner, Chen Ke and his teammates looked at each other.

It is not difficult to see from the eyes that everyone is a little nostalgic for the days in China.

If you're in China, you have to order other items after eating, which is really unfamiliar to you here in London.

Really those projects that are too direct, small horses and carts, everyone will definitely not be able to let go.

The ticket had already been booked, it was the evening ticket the next day's local time, and it was quite late.

Everyone woke up during the day and had nothing to do, so they just wanted to wander around.

London is a world-famous city, and it is possible that you will never come back for a second time in your life.

It's a bit of a pity not to go around and take a few photos.

The people of the two teams together, everyone walked around, and naturally they acted separately, everyone wanted to do different things, and there was not so much time, only half a day.

Chen Ke just went shopping, but King Ning and Wink both wanted to buy some souvenirs and bring them back.

As for who to send, there is no need to ask at all, neither of these two people are single dogs now.

After the two of them left together with Missing on JD.com, Chen Ke asked, "Ah Shui, aren't you going to buy some souvenirs for your girlfriend?" ”

"What can I send, she studied in London before."

“……”

After an hour or so, everyone met at the agreed place.

King Ning and the others didn't have a big bag to carry, only King Ning bought a little more.

Chen Ke saw that the LV bag he was carrying in his hand was more conspicuous.

Chen Ke has no research or interest in luxury goods, and he has never bought them.

It is estimated that if you buy it here, it will be cheaper than buying it in China.

The elder brother teased: "It's okay, King Ning, it's bleeding this time." ”

For a pro of their level, it doesn't matter if you buy something from this brand.

My brother has worked with Dio before.

King Ning said with a smile: "I didn't spend much money on this, I bought it at a very cheap price." ”

"What do you mean, if you want to buy A goods and return to China on Pinduoduo, what are you doing here, it's not enough trouble to bring it back."

Everyone's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at King Ning.

Xin said that King Ning made a lot of money, and it was a bit too much to buy a gift for his girlfriend and make a fake.

When I turned around, as soon as the girl heard what she brought back from London, she naturally subconsciously thought it was true.

Because for many people, this kind of internationally renowned city, which has never been to it, has a deep filter.

Wink next to him explained: "I met a few Quisanti stalls on the side of the road selling this, the goods on it are quite sufficient, Ning Wang came interested and bought one, we didn't persuade him." ”

Brother 9 suddenly realized: "No wonder it is sold cheaply, people buy goods at zero cost." ”

As soon as I heard that it was Quisanti, it was basically the correct skin color.

Chen Ke shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it's probably fake." ”

Many times when I see Quisanti setting up a stall, I will subconsciously feel that it is a zero-yuan purchase.

In fact, here in London, zero-dollar purchases have not been arrogant to that extent.

Even in the beautiful country, these rotten Quesanti are basically fakes, which are not the same as imagined, and those goods are most likely domestic.

I really thought that those luxury stores were so good to give you zero yuan to buy, plus there were several brands on a stall, and the supply was too sufficient.

Besides, the Quisantis are not stupid enough to be that much, and if they are genuine, they may not be willing to sell them to you at a low price.

King Ning said more casually: "I don't think it matters, the price is cheap anyway, I'll find someone to identify it when I go back." ”

"Forget the fake, I really earn it with blood."

My brother teased: "When you buy it, you should let them put the purchased VCR." ”

While speaking, King Ning also took out the bag and showed it to everyone, to be honest, the texture is indeed okay.

But everyone doesn't understand this thing, and they can't see why.

It doesn't make sense to look at the texture, and the fake is often better than the real quality.

Chen Ke took a brief look, and suddenly saw something strange from the mezzanine inside.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said: ", there is glass slag, there is a high probability that it is true." ”

Let's take a closer look, it seems to be the truth.

Looking at Wink's expression, I regretted a little that I didn't shoot the whole one.

……

At about ten o'clock in the evening London time, the whole V5 team and a few people from JD.com boarded the return flight.

When boarding the plane, King Ning also asked, "By the way, what about the two of them, Emperor Qi, and they returned to China directly?" ”

"Well, they were slightly earlier planes and flew directly to South Korea."

Everyone nodded and didn't ask any more.

It's normal for people to go home after the holiday and take a look.

However, Brother 9 added: "The two of them have been called up for the South Korean Asian Games national team, and it seems that they are going to be selected for the national team this time, so they went back directly." ”

"Really?"

Chen Ke was slightly stunned, the original timeline Jingdong and the two Korean aides were indeed selected for the South Korean national team.

At that time, in everyone's opinion, it was a little unbelievable that the South Korean side would really recruit Korean aid from the LPL.

According to the previous tacit understanding, if you go to the LPL to play, you will naturally lose the opportunity to enter the national team.

The original timeline was because JD MSI won the championship, plus the two strongest teams in South Korea, MSI performed very badly, so it made up his mind.

Now JD.com is only the MSI runner-up, and there is nothing to fight back against V5.

Chen Ke thought that they would not be selected for the South Korean national team.

Because normal people can think that the players of the Chinese team must be selected with V5 as the main body.

V5 has played JD.com now.,You're still going to find someone from JD.com.,Isn't this trying to be beaten.。

King Ning obviously thought the same as Chen Ke, and was puzzled: "True or false, the two of them are selected to enter, aren't they afraid of turning around and running into Chen Ke and them?" ”

I originally wanted to say, "Aren't you afraid of running into a few of us", but thinking about it, except for Chen Ke, no one dares to guarantee that he can enter the national team.

It's a bit elaborate to say that kind of thing, and the people on JD.com's side are also hopeful of being selected.

Wink said mercilessly: "If you don't choose the two of them, you will choose from T1 and the two teams, it seems that it is not as good as Emperor Ruler and Kanavi." ”

Everyone nodded, this is the truth.

Chen Ke can be regarded as able to understand the idea of buckling the horse, and there is nothing he can do.

The performances of the two Korean teams made it difficult for him to fully trust these players.

Letting the two people of Jingdong come back is a helpless move.

At least the two of them are in good shape, which will help improve the strength of the Korean team.

That's all there is to the Asian Games, but everyone is thinking about the Asian Games at this moment.

is still the same sentence, all kinds of emotions in my heart are intertwined, interest, expectation and apprehension.

Whether or not you can be selected for the national team is too important for professional players.

But except for Chen Ke, everyone has competitors.

It can only be said that the probability is relatively large, and there is no way to guarantee it 100%.

……

At this time in the country, Abu is already preparing a big list.

Of course, it is not the official list of the Asian Games, but the list of training camps.

Basically, players with good LPL strength can be selected for the training team.

During this period of intensive training, there will be continuous screening to see which five talents are the most suitable.

The squad is six people, and it is stipulated that there can be one substitute.

But Chen Ke definitely occupies a position, so there are still five places left.

Just then, Edju made a phone call.

"Hey Boss~"

"Abu, when will the selection start for the Asian Games?"

"The time is set for three days, and I have to let the V5 and JD players take a break."

“……”

In fact, three days is a short time, and it will take a long time for Chen Ke and them to fly back to China.

After landing, there is only more than a day of rest at most.

Abu can't do anything either, because time is too tight this year.

For this Asian Games, the summer schedule has been advanced, and the competition will become very intensive.

According to the original rhythm, the whole summer season will end in mid-to-late September.

This year, for the Asian Games, the summer season must end in August, including the playoffs and bubble matches.

The training camp will take some time, and it will definitely be completed before the start of the summer season.

After your list is reported, you still need to go through the process of review + publicity.

After listening to this, Boss Zhu asked: "This time to choose people, can't we EDG people really get in, can't we think of a way?" ”
