You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 297 Award Ceremony, Guest Ronaldo!
on the main stage.

After the initial excitement wore off...

As the team leader, PYL was the first to stop the group's laughter and commotion.

Then, leading his teammates, he walked towards SKT's player bench.

The five SKT players hadn't even left the stage yet; they were still waiting by their seats for the post-match handshake.

It's really not good to keep people standing there waiting.
PYL led the way, and the five LGD players walked to the SKT players' bench and shook hands with the five SKT players in turn.

The five SKT players each had a different expression.

The bot lane duo, Bang and Wolf, looked completely calm.

They didn't seem to feel much regret about losing the MSI final.

Upon closer inspection, the two seemed to have a sense of relief on their faces.

For the SKT bot lane duo, who had already achieved a Grand Slam, this was a significant achievement.

Whether they win or lose in this MSI final is perhaps not that important.

The competition is over and I can finally take a break; that's what's more important now.

However, Faker is even more honored, having already won three World Championships and a whole host of other titles.

At this moment, his facial expression was completely opposite to that of his own bot lane duo.

Through the glasses, you can see Faker's extremely unwilling expression.

It's clear that Faker is extremely disappointed with losing this match.

Even though they've already won countless championships.

But I still care deeply about winning every game.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this extreme desire to win.

That's probably why Faker has achieved such great success!
After exchanging fist bumps with Faker, Peanut was next.

Peanut looked confused and seemed not to have fully detached himself from the game.

who am I?
where am I?
Why did I, Peanut, risk being labeled a "traitor" and come to SKT?
Oh, right.

They "defected" to SKT, but they came here to win the championship.

However, even after joining SKT, they only won the league championship.

But he had already won the league championship before joining SKT!

We still haven't won any international championships!
So, Peanut was confused.

However, I still have the chance to compete for the World Championship title in the second half of the year.

Peanut's fighting spirit was rekindled.

As for Huni, who is on the far left of Peanut.

From the moment the match ended, he kept tilting his head to one side.

He didn't dare to look at his four teammates at all.

When Zhou Dian walked up to him and shook hands with him politely.

Huni, whose head was already tilted to the side, lowered it even further.

He was afraid that he might catch a glimpse of the mocking expression on Zhou Dian's face out of the corner of his eye.

Of course, this was all an illusion that Huni had created in his own mind.

But in fact, Zhou Dian was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship at this time.

They had absolutely no intention of making any sarcastic remarks about Huni.

Although Huni was indeed completely outmatched in this BO5 series.

The main reason LGD was able to win the game was basically the huge gap in the top lane.

But there is one thing to say.

He and Huni have no real grudge against each other.

When you win a championship, you can just celebrate your own victory.

Going to mock your opponent is truly a sign of a narrow-minded approach.

Huni had this misconception.

It was also because he was utterly crushed by Zhou Dian in this final.

So much so that he always felt that Zhou Dian's gaze towards him was full of mockery and disdain.

Of course, having such a misconception shows that Huni still has some sense of shame.

Even after getting completely destroyed, he still felt guilty and knew he had let his teammates down.

However, these issues of character cannot change the course of the game.

Zhou Dian's dominance over Huni wasn't due to his good character.

Huni was defeated by Zhou Dian, and it wasn't because Huni was a bad person.

If you can't beat someone in a competition, that's just four words.

There's a gap in strength!

That's it.

Zhou Dian, who was walking at the very back of the group, had just shaken hands with Huni.

They haven't even left the SKT players' bench yet.

PYL had already rushed to the center of the stage.

He couldn't wait to pick up the trophy symbolizing the MSI Mid-Season Invitational champion from the small round platform in the center of the stage.

To be honest, this MSI championship trophy...

The entire body is gold in color.

The trophy is also topped with a round ball.

At first glance, it really does look like the "World Cup trophy".

After holding the trophy in both hands, PYL still looked back twice.

Once his teammates had all walked over and gathered around him.

Then, he used both hands to lift the championship trophy high above his head.

Unfortunately, the MSI championship trophy isn't very big.

It's not enough for five people to put their hands on it together and exert force.

Only the team captain could raise the glass on behalf of the team.

When the championship trophy symbolizing the MSI Mid-Season Invitational was raised.

Several columns of fireworks shot out from around the stage.

A large number of colorful ribbons fell from directly above the stage.

The Brazilian audience at the scene also gave them a warm and sustained round of applause and cheers.

In the commentary box.

As PYL raised the trophy, Miller shouted, "Let's congratulate LGD once again on winning the 17 Mid-Season Invitational!"

"We are the champions!"

Miller dragged out the last syllable of "champion" for an extremely long time.

Until he could barely catch his breath.

Miller then stopped yelling.

And in the official LPL live stream room.

The screen was already flooded with the message "We are the champions".

It has to be said that a significant portion of the LPL audience is truly "adorable." This is especially true when an LPL team is losing an international match.

They drew a very clear line, almost wanting to kick them out of the LPL region and expel them from the region.

But if an LPL team shines in international competitions and brings glory to the region...

These people, regardless of whether they were fans of the team or not, immediately swarmed over like leeches.

He looked proud.

It can only be said that, for this group of people...

The teams and players in the LPL region.

They're just tools for them to argue with others online.

Regardless of the outcome of the match, this group of people always wins in online battles.

Winning until you're numb is definitely a good thing!

I just don't know what it will be like to disconnect from the internet and return to reality.

Can this group still win?
And in the short two minutes from the end of the match to PYL rushing onto the main stage and raising the trophy.

Entries like "LGD team wins MSI championship"

It quickly became a trending topic on major platforms.

Furthermore, its ranking on the trending searches is still climbing rapidly.

At this time, it was only a short time since dawn in Beijing.

It's breakfast time in China right now.

It's easy to imagine what the rest of the day would be like.

The entire Chinese internet will be filled with discussions about LGD's victory at MSI.

This demonstrates the influence of League of Legends esports.

It is absolutely far ahead in all esports events.

Back to the competition venue.

Center of the main stage.

Captain PYL was the first to lift the trophy, and then he had his fill of excitement.

He turned around and handed the trophy to Zhou Dian.

The meaning is quite clear: Zhou Dian is the number one contributor to LGD's MSI victory.

After the captain raised the trophy, it was time for the top contributor to raise his glass.

Amidst a flurry of colorful ribbons, Zhou Dian raised the trophy above his head.

It even shook violently twice.

The audience erupted in cheers even louder than when PYL raised his glass earlier.

When PYL raised the trophy earlier, most of the cheers from the audience were for the LGD team.

At this moment, when Zhou Dian raised his glass, the cheers from the audience were almost entirely for Zhou Dian personally.

Most people will respect the strong.

Zhou Dian's performance in this MSI Mid-Season Invitational, and his performance in today's final.

The audience can see it for themselves.

Subsequently, imp, Eimy, and Wei Shen all accepted the trophy and enjoyed the thrill of "raising a toast".

Of course, when they raise the trophy.

The audience members responded with applause and cheers.

However, the volume was noticeably lower than when Zhou Dian raised his glass.

At this moment, the rest of LGD also came to Zhou Dian's side.

Then they took turns winning the trophy and had their fun.

After LGD had their fill of playing with trophies, they finally put the MSI championship trophy back on the table.

At this moment, the director suddenly turned the camera to the media passage on the side of the stage.

There stood a fat man wearing a white T-shirt and a khaki jacket.

When the image of this fat man appeared on the big screen at the scene.

A huge cheer erupted from the crowd.

This time, the volume from the audience was louder than ever before.

There is no other reason.

Simply because this fat man's name is "Ronaldo".
When the name "Ronaldo" is used without any restrictions.

This naturally refers to the legendary Brazilian football superstar – Ronaldo!
Of course, he's already a fat Ronaldo now.

In Brazil, a football powerhouse.

League of Legends is currently the number one esports game.

But how can it compare to the world's number one sport – football?

Ronaldo's appearance immediately ignited the emotions of many Brazilian spectators at the scene.

As Ronaldo walked from the media entrance to the center of the main stage.

The cheers from the audience never stopped.

"Wow, Ronaldo is the presenter for the championship award this time! What a prestigious honor!" Miller exclaimed sincerely.

on the main stage.

At this moment, Zhou Dian and several teammates were standing in a row behind another waist-high circular platform.

On the round platform, there were some gold medals.

This is clearly the MSI championship medal at that time.

When Ronaldo, the presenter of these medals today, walked onto the stage.

The LGD players couldn't help but applaud along with the audience.

Just kidding, this is Ronaldo.

Even though the LGD players, apart from Zhou Dian, don't usually pay much attention to football.

But Ronaldo is someone I know.

Putting everything else aside, you've all seen the ads for Jin Sang Zi throat lozenges, right?

During the 02 Korea-Japan World Cup, Ronaldo sported an ugly "Afro" hairstyle, and that image was so deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Coincidentally, that was also the first time the Chinese national football team qualified for the World Cup.

That year, the passion for football among the entire Chinese people reached an unprecedented high.

Naturally, Ronaldo's performance that year left an extremely deep impression on the minds of the Chinese people.

Unfortunately, that national football team, which was thought to be the beginning, was in trouble.

Unexpectedly, it was already the peak.

It's uncertain when the Chinese national football team will qualify for the World Cup again.

As expected, the chat in the LPL official live stream was flooded with comments like "Ronaldo," "Fat Ronaldo," and "Ronaldo" for a while.

The shift was incredibly smooth, turning into a condemnation of the national football team.

In our country, it's true that everything can be used to refer to the national football team!

Just yell at them!
