I'm really not a mid laner

Chapter 119 Faker's Gauntlet

On the same date as the LPL semi-finals, the LCK spring finals started on April 4.

The two sides facing each other are SKT and KT.

After the semifinals between RNG and IG are over, the results of the spring finals over there will be announced directly.

SKT defeated KT 3-0 in a very dominant way and won the LCK Spring Championship.

At the same time, this also means that at this MSI, the team representing the LCK division will be SKT, which is very familiar to LPL audiences.

When they heard the news, Chen Ye and the factory director were not only happy, but also worried.

I am happy because what I hoped for has become a reality, and SKT has successfully entered MSI.

The worry is that the state shown by SKT in this game is a bit too strong.

He directly defeated his opponent KT with a score of 3:0.

Winning the victory in such a tyrannical way also means that the current state of SKT... is a little bit overwhelmed.

Then, the day after the game ended, faker accepted a wave of interviews from LCK hosts.

For the previous questions, the host asked quite well.

It's nothing more than asking faker how he feels after winning the game, and who he thinks is the best player in this game.

Faker has experienced the baptism of the game for so many years, so he is naturally able to answer these questions with ease.

With a relatively humble attitude, he answered the host's questions one by one.

Then, at the end of the interview, the beautiful host asked a refreshing question.

She held up the microphone, with a sweet and decent smile on her face, and asked, "So faker, is there any opponent you hope to meet at this year's MSI?"

After Faker heard this question, he was silent for a while, raised his eyes and said: "If I have to say it, I really hope to play against EDG at this MSI."

The host obviously didn't expect that Faker would really answer this question seriously. After a moment of surprise, she quickly recovered her professionalism.

The smile on her face remained the same, she asked, "Can I ask, why?"

Faker adjusted his square-framed glasses, and the deep eyes under the glasses quietly flashed the color of memories.

Then, he raised his head slightly: "Because I lost to them once on this stage. That failure left a deep impression on me."

"If possible, I hope they can come to MSI again. I hope that I can revenge them openly on this same stage."

The host got a little excited. The content of the interview had been rehearsed before, so she didn't expect that this temporary question would surprise her.

So, with an attitude of digging deep, she spoke again.

"It can be seen that faker should have a deep impression on that game. But as far as I know, the pawn that EDG played against you at that time is no longer in the team. Even so, won't your mood change? "

Faker heard this, first lowered his head slightly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Clearlove, is he still in the EDG team? That's enough!"

"And I have also watched their games. Their mid laner is also very strong this year. I am looking forward to playing against him."

"Of course, the winner will only be me."

As he said that, Faker looked at the camera with his eyes. His eyes were not sharp, but they gave off an extremely firm feeling.

The interview is almost over here.

And Faker's last sentence, after the interview video was uploaded to LPL, caused many people to be surprised.

Because in the impression of many people, faker seems to be a humble and good man, and it is really surprising that he would say such a thing.

When this kind of speech began to ferment on the Internet, some people began to come out and explain faker's behavior.

Of course...not so much an explanation, but an introduction to Faker's character.

Outside of the game, he does seem like a nice guy.

But in the game, his pride did not lose to any other player.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be able to win one championship after another.

While these people were talking, they also released many of Faker's previous interview videos one by one.

In the video, faker's expression looks very honest and introverted, but what he said surprised many people.

For example, when he first debuted, in a program, the host asked all the mid laners present, who is the strongest mid laner at present.

Most people answered that the two strongest mid laners in the LCK at the time were An Zhang Men and Yue Lun.

Only faker, his answer is himself.

For another example, in another interview, the host asked him what he wanted to say to his opponents who were about to compete.

Coincidentally, Faker's mid lane opponent in that match was Yue Lun.

And Faker's answer was: Yue Lun is a pretty good player and has no shortcomings.

Just when others thought that he was going to use a relatively humble attitude to compliment his opponent.

He immediately added another sentence: Of course, he has no advantages.

The videos of these interviews are enough to prove that Faker's competitive spirit and self-confidence have never been weaker than any professional player.

Therefore, it is not surprising that he would say such a sentence at the end of this interview.

On the 23rd, at nine o'clock in the evening.

The factory manager took the phone and played the video for Chen Ye to watch.

But when Chen Ye watched the video, he was not as emotional as the factory director expected, but looked extremely calm.

"Why, you don't want to respond at all?"

The factory manager sat down beside Chen Ye, and asked curiously.

Chen Ye shook his head.

"We haven't even finished the Spring Finals yet."

The factory manager nodded, "Yes."

"However, your reaction is still much calmer than I thought. Faker has already challenged you, but you didn't react at all."

"You don't know how excited your own fans and the fans of the team are right now."

"He is the number one mid laner in the world!"

Chen Ye groaned, as if remembering something.

"It's not... I don't know at all."

In fact, Su Qiaoqiao had already forwarded the video to him as soon as the faker video was broadcast in China.

While reposting this video, Su Qiaoqiao also asked Chen Ye how he planned to respond in an extremely excited tone, whether he planned to talk about it at MSI, or whether the Spring Festival ended...

Her excited reaction gave Chen Ye the illusion of seeing her die-hard fans.

In short, Chen Ye heard the news earlier than many people in the EDG team.

However, compared to paying attention to this kind of news, Chen Ye felt that the current spring competition was more important, so he didn't think too much about it at all.
