Do you have the attitude of leading people [e-sports]

In any case, the journey to the TRG finals is over.

The next day is STAR's Final Four.

Jiang Wan wasn't worried about Lu Shen at all. He cared about his boyfriend's injury, but he believed in STAR's team doctor and Lu Shen's good luck.

Compared with TRG's semi-finals, STAR's disadvantage is that they will play LCS.EU, which is the No. [-] seed in the European League.

This is in the UK, which is the doorstep of other teams.

Although for professional players, it is also a joy to beat other teams to silence in an away game, but beating the host in an away game is destined to not get so many cheers.

"It doesn't matter." Lu Shen said, "When the championship is won, there will still be cheers."

Compared with TRG's somewhat tragic semi-finals, STAR's semi-finals went much smoother.It's the same as the scorpion shaking the tree, but the opponent is the scorpion, and STAR becomes the tree.

Also at 2-0, STAR chose an unfamiliar lineup to give the host a little face, the host team also seized the opportunity, scored a point, and then 3-1, the game ended.

So far, the pattern of this year's finals has been copied from last year, and the opponents are still STAR and SU.

The venue is London.

The game time is 5 days later.

After seeing STAR advance to the finals, TRG returned home with peace of mind.

Bai Ye originally wanted to stay for a while longer, because Lu Shen could only play 60% of the training, and he thought he could play part of Lu Shen's place, but STAR said that they needed the whole TRG team to practice with them, so Bai Ye had to pack his bags and go with them.

The airport is a little far away, and the STAR team really didn't have time to see them off, so Jiang Wan went there to help.

The team members had a lot to say to Bai Ye, because they heard that although Bai Ye answered coolly in the interview, he actually went back to his room and cried a lot, hating himself for not having a third unique hero.

They are all professional players, and everyone cherishes each other, and more or less, they see their ideals and past from Bai Ye.

At this time, Siwei fully demonstrated the leadership (rear) team (service) demeanor, put together what the players wanted to say, and asked Jiang Wan to pass it on.

At the airport, Jiang Wan handed the envelope to Bai Ye. Bai Ye didn't open it to read it immediately, but smiled cutely as always: "Thank you, tell them to cheer for the final."

"No problem." Jiang Wan said.

Bai Ye came over and gave him a hug, and when he let go, Jiang Wan heard him sigh softly.

His tone was very brisk, but he didn't actually say so briskly: "I'm really envious."

In such a short five seconds, Jiang Wan decided to turn his back on Lu Shen's diehard fan. He patted Bai Ye on the shoulder and said, "You will have a championship in the future."

Ok.

Brother Shen won three more championships and gave one to Xiao Baiye, which is acceptable.

When the big troops came to the UK, there were four teams with about [-] people. As more and more teams were eliminated, a wave of people left at each stop. Now, there are only a dozen people left. It was about the same size as MSI at that time.

It's a pity that Jiang Wan couldn't go to London with Lu Shen because the commentator usually contacts too many people, and there must be international friends. Xiao Ao's leaking tactics to the LCK has too much influence, as the saying goes. Next, on the way to London, they still divide into two cars.

Liu Li sat next to Jiang Wan and complained to him.

"Originally, I waited until the finals to prepare some time for the contestants to meet their girlfriends or accompanying relatives, but it turns out, good guy, all STARs are single dogs. It's just you and Lu Shen, which made my careful preparations." Humanistic care is completely useless!"

Jiang Wan heard this, and thought: "Why is it useless, it will be useful."

"Do you want to see him before the finals?" Liu Li asked, "Then I'll give you some condolences."

"No." Jiang Wan said firmly, "Be alone."

"?" Liu Li looked at him vigilantly, "Although it is said that we can meet each other, we can't play games."

"Nonsense!" Jiang Wan's ears turned red for a moment, and he glared at Liu Li, "What are you thinking!"

"...Ah, that's good." Liu Li knew he was thinking too much, and immediately gave up, "Listen to you, listen to you."

-

Everyone was apprehensive and looking forward to the finals, but the STAR players didn't even have time to feel these feelings.

Because they are training all the time, reviewing the game after training.

This year, STAR has gone through ups and downs, and finally returned to the place where it wanted to stand at the beginning of the year. Now it is only the last step, and it does not want to stop no matter what.

No one can stop them.

Whether it's Alan's waist or Lu Shen's hand, at this point, it doesn't matter so much.

The amount of training increased from 60% to 100%. A Lan received a block injection, and Lu Shen received painkillers.Because it is necessary to maintain the feel, it is a little bit more to play.

SU is a very formidable opponent. Although the coach took the blame and resigned after the match-fixing turmoil, in fact, with SU's current system, any missing link can be made up immediately.

Moreover, STAR is not in the strongest state now. Zhuang Ke has made great progress this season, but he has not passed the test of top competitions after all, so it is unknown, not to mention the injuries of Lu Shen and Alan.

After watching the semi-finals, Lu Shen even felt that SU was stronger than MSI at that time.

SU has a top-level learning ability, and their team's analysts are unmatched in the entire League of Legends professional circle.

After Knock felt the dominance of the White Night blind monk, and after they used TRG as an experimental product to perfectly suppress the jungle radiation and side lanes, Lu Shen really looked forward to it, and really feared that they would perform in the finals after summarizing their experience. out state.

He guesses SU with the utmost respect and returns with the strictest training.

TRG is also very cooperative, almost playing against them from morning till night.

Experimenting with different lineups and different styles of play, Bai Ye took the blind monk every time, because this was the most oppressive hero he played, forcing STAR to deal with him in different ways.

to win.

This idea has been on Lu Shen's mind for the past few days.

For my brother who will be retiring at the end of this year.

For the champion who missed out last year.

When the team doctor changed the dressing, he would think of Jiang Wan holding his hand and asking him if it hurts with concern on his face, and then his heart would be filled with tenderness.

For his most die-hard fans, for his star to shine on the darkest night.

Win no matter what.

The five-day training time seems very long, but it actually passed in a flash.

When Liu Li entered the training room again, he told them, "Go to the scene to adjust the peripherals and get familiar with the venue."

The wind blew into the closed room at that time, Lu Shen looked up at the calendar on the wall.

It was already the day before the finals.

The day before the finals, all contestants will go to the venue to confirm that their peripherals can be used on the venue computer, confirm the network, and confirm the condition of the machine. There was time to adjust.

——In terms of all the players, there are only [-] players including STAR and SU.

The two teams went to the scene separately to confirm, and the official staff of the event—both from the LPL and the LCK—was on the scene to supervise.

While this usually doesn't happen, it's still important to make sure that no one takes this opportunity to put scripts on the computer or do other cheating.

For Lu Shen, who has entered the finals three times, it is a process.

This time it was the SU team who went to confirm first. After they were done and the scene was cleared, it was STAR's turn to confirm.

The competition venue this time was originally a grand theater. The main stage was very empty, and the pillars on the wall had a sense of time and radiance. Classical and modern technology of e-sports were integrated. The seats of LPL and LCK were separated on both sides of the competition area.

Under the guidance of the staff, Lu Shen went to the LPL competition area, and turned on the second machine on the right hand, which belonged to the "Jungle" position.

He debugged it with ease, and looked at Zhuang Ke by the way, because it was the first time for Zhuang Ke to experience this, but A Lan was teaching him, so Lu Shen stopped watching.

Liu Li came over just after debugging.

"How is it?" Liu Li asked, "Is everything ok?"

"Yes." Lu Shen nodded, "Everything is going well."

"Then come here." Liu Li beckoned to Lu Shen.

Lu Shen was stunned: "Why?"

"I'll take you to meet someone." Liu Li said.

If someone else said that, Lu Shen would not have gone, but he has trusted this person since he cooperated with Liu Li, so when Liu Li said that, he already knew who he was going to see when "meeting someone", family members.

Isn't his family member Jiang Wan?

They didn't leave the venue, they stayed on the stage, but they left the sensitive competition area and went to the other side.

Lu Shen seldom came to the stage, and only when he came did he realize that it was the commentary area.

But no one was seen here, so Lu Shen was stunned for a moment. At this time, behind the commentary stage, the heavy velvet curtain caused a ripple, and Jiang Wan leaned out half of his body from the curtain, and smiled at Lu Shen.

This grand theater itself is very quiet, and they didn't turn on all the lights when they came to check the equipment, only the area of ​​the competition area was lit.Therefore, most of the commentary stand is immersed in darkness, with only the faint light coming from the other side.

It's very romantic like standing on the ground and looking up at the starry night.

Jiang Wan's looks and temperament are very suitable for such a gentle background.

Liu Li saw that the two of them withdrew when they saw each other, and Lu Shen looked at Jiang Wan's smile, no matter whether it was the trouble of hand injury or the tension of the imminent battle, he relaxed.

He was not in a hurry to grab Jiang Wan's hand or hug him, as long as he saw this person, it was enough.He smiled at Jiang Wan: "How can you come here and be a family member?"

"Yeah." Jiang Wan nodded, "Captain Liu said he could see his family members before the game, so I had the cheek to apply to see you on the field. After all, we will be on the same stage tomorrow, but we can't say anything at that time."

He said that, Lu Shen felt a little emotional.

The players and commentators seem to be far apart, but they are actually standing on the same stage, and the commentators are the witnesses and companions of the players.

Lu Shen didn't think so much before, but after being with Jiang Wan, this feeling is very strong.

Sometimes he plays hard operations and thinks about what Jiang Wan is talking about now; he won an important game and took off his earphones, and he heard Jiang Wan's voice enthusiastically shouting "Congratulations STAR!" At that moment, his sense of happiness was definitely doubled .

"I won't be able to speak at that time, but I have something I really want to tell you here." Jiang Wan said again.

"Huh?" Lu Shen asked, "What are you talking about?"

Jiang Wan smiled, took out a small box from behind and handed it over: "Happy birthday."

Lu Shen was stunned.

Lu Shen's birthday is October 10th, and it has actually been more than half a month.

It was supposed to be a group match that day, or it was training, anyway, he completely forgot about it.

Because their team had too many injuries this year, a lot of things were on their minds, so Fanta and Siwei didn't remember it, and this day will be here if they don't pay attention.

Jiang Wan opened the box, and inside was a small cake. He put the cake on the commentary stand, inserted a candle, and placed it carefully.

The candlelight glowed brightly, lighting up the darkness on this side, Jiang Wan's face was very warm under the candlelight.

"It's a little selfish, I didn't tell anyone else, so I'm the only one who will do it for you." Jiang Wan looked at Lu Shen and smiled.

"This is very good." Lu Shen's mind was a little blank, and he could only think of what to say.

"I am very lucky this year. I returned to China and became an LPL commentator. The person I like the most has become a boyfriend. What is even more fortunate is that I can stand here with him, on the stage of the finals of the highest competition." Jiang Wan said.

"So I want to say happy birthday to you here, you are a professional player, this stage must be special to you."

Lu Shen nodded.

He has devoted all his passion to the project, and his lover, who has been in a deep bond with him since four years ago, merged into a wonderful light and shadow on this stage. He can't describe how touched he is. Can't speak, can only nod.

"In the new year, I hope that brother Shen will be healthy, stronger and more handsome, and we will get better and better." Jiang Wan said, "The last time I saw you in the finals was last year, and that time really Very sad, the saddest thing is that I saw you sitting in the training room after the game, so lonely, but I can’t comfort you. So I don’t think this year will be sad no matter what, because even if I lose, I will be the first The one came over and hugged you and told you it was okay. Of course, I believe you can win, no matter what, you are the best."

Jiang Wan handed the small cake with candles to Lu Shen: "You can't eat snacks before the game, so you blow out the candles and make a wish."

When he said these words, Jiang Wan was actually a little emotional, because he had been going through the scene in his mind.

Lu Shen, who could only watch the water dispenser in the base four years ago, bowed and bowed to serve tea and water to the seniors of LCK four years ago, and he didn't know if he could be on the commentary stage for the next time.

Lu Shen has lost almost any match that could be lost, and he has also been subjected to almost all forms of trouble.

But in the end they came here together, and he will be the commentator of the global finals, watching his most beloved people fight on the field.

Regardless of whether he won the championship in the end, Jiang Wan felt that this should be called a positive result of cultivation.

Thinking like this, Lu Shen solemnly placed the little cake on the ground at his feet, and then, following this movement, he also bent down, almost kneeling on one knee, and raised his eyes to look at Jiang Wan.

"We've come to this point, you can be bolder." Lu Shen smiled, "You are a commentator, you have to think carefully about things, we are different as players, we think about everything better .”

Jiang Wan was startled.

"So, let me tell you my birthday wish." Lu Shen said.

On the night before the final round, there was the faint sound of computers running in the darkness.

The flag with the pattern of the global finals fluttered directly above the venue, and the dust in the air fell lightly but solemnly, like the encounter four years ago, the voice of fate was soft but thumping.

"Wine."

Lu Shen said.

He knelt down on one knee and looked at Jiang Wan, like a knight looking at the prince he swore to protect.

"The little understudy you helped four years ago."

"Your favorite player."

"Your boyfriend."

"Without you, he would not be standing here. This year he has lived up to your expectations and returned to this most brilliant stage. He wants to be a star, shining in the sky, for everyone to see, but most of all he wants to show look."

"So tomorrow, please watch him and stay with him."

"Hold that trophy again."
