LOL: You have too many tags!

The sun shone through the hazy mist onto the streets of Reykjavik. A few seagulls flapped their wings and landed on the edge of the coast, looking curiously at the two people sitting silently on the bench.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Li Dao inexplicably missed his two good friends Xu Shaoyang and Chen Jie, who were so easy to get along with. With them around, at least the atmosphere wouldn't be dull.
And unlike a competition, as soon as you step onto the field you know what your purpose is, and all your plans are for winning.

But Li Dao is still a novice when it comes to getting along with girls, otherwise he wouldn't have been easily controlled by Jin Minna at the beginning.

I can only say that the label of Tiangang Tongzi Gong is not given for nothing. While maintaining a high level of concentration in competition, my personal experience is almost completely zero. I can't even think of a suitable opening remark.

In the end, it was Song Yuqi who spoke first and took the initiative to ask about the competition.

"The finals are coming up soon, so you must be very busy with training right now, right?"

“It’s not that busy.”

Li Dao followed up the topic and explained, "We had already made all the necessary preparations before the World Championship. In addition, DK has been our old rival for many years, so we know each other very well."

"Although their playstyle has changed a lot since their top laner was replaced by Khan, they still rely on the mid, jungle and support to set the pace, and are not as nervous as T1 in terms of response."

"Old man Li knows so many things. When we were fighting, I was really afraid that he would suddenly come up with something. It's hard to imagine that he is just an old man who is almost 30 years old..."

"Pfft~"

Song Yuqi couldn't help laughing out loud, which made Li Dao feel a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I couldn't control myself..."

"You misunderstood." Song Yuqi quickly shook her head. "I'm not making fun of you. I'm just thinking that you couldn't think of anything to say during such a long time, but you were so excited when talking about the game."

"You really love the arena!" Song Yuqi sighed after thinking for a long time.

Maybe this is why I like him.

In the beginning, I was just cheering for him because we were fellow Chinese, but later I watched him fall again and again on the field and get up again, and gradually become stronger through continuous training, and I could see his progress in almost every game.

Without exception, all of these reminded Song Yuqi of herself when she first arrived in Korea.

It was that same loneliness and hard work that attracted her little by little and made her start to pay attention unconsciously.

Later, as time went by, the boy's performance became more and more outstanding, and he gradually became the most eye-catching new star in the entire LCK. It was at this time that Song Yuqi realized that her heart could no longer be diverted.

She wasn't sure whether this should be considered love or admiration, but Song Yuqi knew very well that she liked the feeling of being with him.

Just like in that silent time just now, even without saying a word, she could feel relaxed and happy.

Maybe it's time to make up my mind...

"Finals...come on."

Song Yuqi stood up from the bench and walked step by step to Li Dao.

The water mist condensed into tiny dewdrops on her eyelashes. The sea breeze gently blew her long hair. Facing the sunlight reflected on the sea level, the beautiful scene made Li Dao stunned for a moment.

"After the game, remember to come here again. I have something to tell you."

Li Dao nodded subconsciously and was about to say something, but he saw Song Yuqi walking in another direction.

"Go find your two brothers quickly. They'll be stuffed to death if they eat another meal."

"okay."

Song Yuqi left again, in a hurry, just like the time in the restaurant.

……

November 6th.

Brilliant fireworks burst into the Icelandic night sky, accompanied by bursts of drumming that filled the entire venue.

As the lights swept across the auditorium, thousands of seats were filled and countless voices were shouting the ID of the team they supported.

"ten!"

"nine!"

"eight!"

Below the stage, countless audience members followed the countdown on the screen in unison.

When the number returned to zero, a huge fist appeared on the screen, which was the logo of Riot.

Then the picture flashed and a clear electronic sound rang out.

Deng!
unstoppable!

It is the theme song of the S11 League of Legends Global Finals!
"Players are ready."

The staff at the entrance led Li Dao step by step to the lift platform.

Through the shining lights above, Li Dao could already hear the shouts of the audience outside. That was the most enthusiastic support from countless fans who came from thousands of miles away from home!
nervous?
Li Dao placed his hand on his chest, feeling the beating of his heart.

No, it's anticipation!

This is the greatest anticipation for the competition and for the answer to my entire year’s hard work that will soon be revealed!
Only victory is the only response to all doubts.

"Brother Shuizi, what should I do? I seem to have an eye disease. Why are my tears flowing all the time?"

Missing took the tissue handed to him by the staff and kept wiping the corners of his eyes.

He entered the youth training and started his professional career in 16, and played in LDL for almost three years.

After much hard work, I made it into the WE main team, but in the end, I couldn't even make it to the playoffs that season!

In the two years that followed, his best result was just a runner-up in the German Cup, and he was almost kicked out of the team.

During that time, he never even dreamed that one day he would have the opportunity to stand on the stage of the finals!
"Don't cry yet, you'll have plenty of opportunities to cry after the fight." Ah Shui consoled him. But as he spoke, even he began to feel a little sad.

Ah Shui became famous too early, so he never thought that it would take him three years to stand on this stage again!

"Don't think too much." Kasa said, "Or you will lose your momentum when you go on stage later."

"understand!"

"Look how well Jiahao controlled himself. He didn't move at all the time."

369 coughed lightly and said, "My coach told me to keep my eyes on the distance, so as not to be photographed as Superman again."

"..."

Everyone was speechless. Even after such a long time, when the classic photo of 369 was displayed again, everyone still laughed when they saw it.

Of course, except for 369 himself.

So before the game started, he specially found the war horse and asked what posture would be more handsome when he appeared on the stage.

Zhanma's answer is obvious. Anyway, you are standing next to Free, so you can't look handsome no matter how you contrast with him. So you might as well stare into the distance and pretend to look at the scenery, which can make you look more relaxed and indifferent.

The music reached its climax.

As the lead singer passionately sang "burn it all down", the lift began to rise slowly.

The lights in the venue began to gradually brighten, and the shouts of the audience became clearer from the empty distance.

"TES!" "TES!" "TES!"

"DK!" "DK!" "DK!"

Amid thunderous applause, two teams of ten people appeared above the stage.

The golden orb behind him slowly opened, revealing the huge trophy inside that shone like a diamond to everyone!

a step far!
Just like the distance between the trophy and himself, becoming the champion is only one step away.

But isn't it the same for Showmaker the other time?

Li Dao and the other person looked at the trophy in tacit understanding, and then looked at their old rivals.

There was no tension or gunpowder smell, only tacit nods of understanding.

Because they are both rivals and colleagues. In addition to competition, they are also moving forward towards their own dreams.

"Dear summoners, welcome to the 2021 League of Legends World Championship!"

The handsomely dressed host walked out from behind the trophy while giving his opening remarks and walked step by step to the front of the stage.

Without any procrastination or distraction, the host introduced the members of the two teams in a crisp and clear voice.

"Finally, we have reached this most exciting moment. Please allow me to introduce to you all. Standing on the right side of the stage is Dplus KIA, the No. 1 seed from LCK!"

Wow!
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and the five contestants of DK also straightened their backs.

The camera scanned the faces of the five of them one by one, and when it came to Showmaker, it deliberately paused for a moment.

Xu Xiu is indeed a master at putting on a show. When everyone else was staring at the audience, his eyes never left the camera, giving a sense of "I'm watching you".

"Top lane Khan!"

"Jungle Canyon!"

"Mid laner - ShowMaker!"

"AD: Ghost!"

"Assist: Beryl!"

“Coach: KkOma!!!”

The picture finally stopped on Coach Kouma’s smile.

This legendary coach, whose achievements are no less than those of old man Li, is still stunningly handsome even though he is already in his 40s.

Ah Shui couldn't help but say, "Coach, don't feel any psychological burden later. Although I'm not as handsome as others, at least I'm younger than him, right?"

War Horse: "???"

You are younger than others and not as handsome as them. Are you saying this to attack me?

"Uh... Coach, don't listen to Fei Bo's nonsense." Kasa said quickly, "What he actually meant was that although you have fewer honors than him, you have more experience than him!"

"I!!!"

Zhanma looked at the audience and forced himself to resist the urge to start rap.

"Next, let's applaud and welcome the No. 1 seed from LPL, who has been undefeated since the start of the World Championship. They are unstoppable - TOP ESPORTS!"

Boom boom boom!
Thunderous screams and applause came from the audience, and the huge sound waves seemed to overturn the entire stage.

eccentric!

Absolutely biased!

The LCK audience was dumbfounded. Just introduce it, why add so many prefixes?
Still unstoppable?
Even the theme song was designed specifically for them, right?
There was a lot of wailing and dissatisfaction on the Korean Internet, but after thinking about it for a while, they calmed down. After all, Top Esports had not lost a single game so far and had fought their way out of the LCK's encirclement.

In addition, with a favorite mid laner who has won two consecutive championships, it is normal for the organizers and Riot to have a slight preference for him.
