LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 96 JKL: War Song! Rise!
Shanghai, Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center!
Today's venue is different from the usual playoffs, as it features a four-sided stage setup.

This stage setup is quite unique to the finals!
The venue was already packed with people. Today's match featured LGD, the dark horse team that fought their way up from the first round to the finals.

On the other side is TES, the "aircraft carrier" led by the Sailors duo, who occupy half of the LPL's dual-carry duo!

LGD is a completely different team now. After defeating JDG and IG, LGD is now considered a favorite to win the championship.

Even if TES loses the finals, no one will be too surprised.

On the big screen, footage from TES's promotional video appeared first.

The crowd erupted in screams, especially after the older brother's comment.
"We will make history!!"

"what!!!"

"You're so damn handsome, Shuizi! I love you!!"

"So handsome I'm dizzy, I'm going to faint!!"

"Only my brother could come up with such cool lines! He's so handsome, I love him!"

LGD's promotional video was then released. Compared to TES, which had to consider the proportion of the Sailor duo, LGD's Di Wu was the only one to stand out.

"Today, the decisive battle begins! Let us pledge our resolve! Let us swear an oath by the Huangpu River!"

"JDG and IG will face TES again on this familiar ground, and it will be a fierce battle against three heroes at Rainbow Bridge!"

"Wearing golden armor, we've fought countless battles in Shanghai; we will not return until we defeat the Silver Dragon!"

In the promotional video, Di Wu stands on the edge of a rooftop, the camera focusing on him, showing only his back as he slowly raises a feather fan to shield himself from the setting sun.
"Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!!"

hiss!
JKL, watching LGD's promotional video from the sidelines, couldn't help but purse his lips. Why did he feel like he was playing a villain?

Many of the audience members present were Autobots, and they shouted loudly.

"Brother, I'm sorry, but this is the Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, the Autobots are willing to follow you on the Northern Expedition!"

"He really didn't lie to us, Brother G. He never lies!"

"You think the sun hasn't risen? I, Brother G, am the sun!"

"Ninjas and all that, I don't care! Let's join the Prime Minister's Northern Expeditionary Army!"

Since Di Wu was removed from the bounty list of IG Super Topic, his popularity in the LPL has become quite prominent.

He is definitely a pillar among the new generation. Even after playing for so many years, and even winning the regular season MVP this year, Knight is not as popular as Di Wu.

The same applies to all industries: good looks alone are a dead end, but as long as you combine them with any other strengths, you'll be a winning combination!
Besides his increasingly better performances and outstanding appearance, Di Wu has another innate advantage! Of course, fans are probably unaware of this, otherwise Di Wu wouldn't have fared so poorly last year.

"Welcome everyone to the 2020 LPL Spring Split Finals! Hello everyone, I'm Liu Hang!"

Liu Hang stood in the center of the stage and shouted out the first team to appear!

"Let's welcome TES!!!"

"Top Esports experienced a slump and a period of confusion during the Spring Split, but after JKL joined the team, the 'Sailor Duo' led them onto the right path!"

"Let's welcome Top Esports!"

Liu Hang's passionate speech, accompanied by the background music that ignited the atmosphere, even drew screams from many spectators when Top Esports players appeared on stage.

Especially when the older brother stepped onto this stage, his fans felt a great sense of relief!

The previous falling out with IG has now turned into a nightmare, with their own teammate standing on the finals stage, while the IG members are nowhere to be seen.

Oh?
They were eliminated by Gnik?

Many spectators at the scene have already begun to make pre-match declarations.

"Hey, IG fans, stop yelling! You can't even beat LGD, let me teach you how!"

"Never again will you say that Knight is a chicken. Whether it's a chicken or a chicken, you don't need to use your left hand to slaughter chickens!"

"Exactly, exactly. Back when we were at YM, we couldn't even beat Knight's substitutes, let alone Knight."

"Our left-handed baby is just so strong! He's just maxed out all his talent in the game, and he's too naive!"

Although most official commentators and secondary commentators predicted a 50/50 chance for this match, with most secondary commentators even believing LGD had the edge, fans were undoubtedly watching the game with a bias.

In particular, it can be used to annoy IG fans. Who do IG fans support this round? TES is almost the enemy in public opinion, but LGD just defeated their main team.

It's painful to see who wins the final.

Many contestants have this opportunity to gain popularity, and Di Wu is no exception. This is his best chance to gain popularity.

It seems that he was caught in the conflict between the fans of IG and TES, and even used as a pawn by them to belittle each other's players. But his gun is a cold and ruthless gun, a vicious gun that treats everyone equally.

If one has sufficient strength, this kind of traffic will actually create momentum for Di Wu!

TES players stood in front of their battle stages, and then the background music in the entire venue suddenly changed, filling the room with an energetic and upbeat melody.
"what?"

JKL on the field was stunned for a moment. He was familiar with this song. FPX was not the first team to have a team song. OMG had its own team song earlier than them.

"The Light of the Planet!?"

That's right, LGD also received permission from OMG to use "Planet Light" during their entrance ceremony in the finals!
Regardless, Di Wu once played for OMG for a season. Seeing Di Wu's current strength, OMG is both furious and gratified that Di Wu can become the face of the new generation of mid laners.

As soon as the light of the planet was played, Gnik's longtime fans of ten years were already in tears.

"Gnik! You are more than just the light of a planet; you are the sun!"

Nobody believed in you, but you proved them wrong!

"You can't just be a fan of Gnik when he's doing well!"

"Damn it, he's obviously not a long-time G-Emperor fan. He's a fan when things aren't going well for him. Do you think I'm just asking to be insulted when things are going badly for him?"

"LGD!!!" When Liu Hang shouted the name of the LGD team, Flandre was the first to walk up and wave to the audience below the stage.

The little peanut received a round of cheers.

When Di Wu took the stage, the temperature inside the stadium seemed to rise.

"Mid lane, Gnik!!!"

Di Wu pursed his lips and walked from the contestant passage toward the main stage.

The staff behind him called out repeatedly, "Gnik, watch out for the steps in the middle of the stage, don't fall."

Before she could finish speaking, Di Wu didn't listen at all and simply walked straight to the main stage.

The staff member couldn't help but ask with some concern, "It should be alright, right?"

After all, none of the contestants who had just entered the arena fell because of this.

Perhaps it was because Di Wu's back was too straight, perhaps it was because his head was slightly raised at this moment, or perhaps it was because Di Wu was simply fearless.

Without hesitation, he missed a small step in the middle of the main stage.
The LPL venue design is still the same grass platform, even though there has been plenty of time to build the venue for the finals.

However, the flaws in this design became apparent, and the staff member backstage had tears welling up in her eyes the moment Di Wu missed his step.

If Di Wu trips and falls here, he'll definitely get a scolding from above, and...
This is the LPL finals! What if something happens to Di Wu after his fall? This player has just begun to shine in the LPL, and many people even regard him as a rising star among LPL mid-laners. What if something happens to him?

I can
When Di Wu lost his footing and became seriously unbalanced, Liu Hang, who was standing closest to him, completely disregarded the fact that he was wearing a suit and couldn't move his legs, and rushed forward to help Di Wu.

This guy is the future of LPL. Even if it costs me my life, I won't let anything happen to Di Wu on this stage.

However, in the instant that Di Wu lost his balance in mid-air, he used the momentum of his loss of balance to transfer the force of his fall onto his left shoulder.

The moment his left shoulder touched the ground, Di Wu was not embarrassed at all by falling. Instead, he smoothly performed a perfect forward roll and slowly stood up in the center of the stage.

Standing in the center of the stage, Di Wu gently tossed his still-neat hair.

???

The chat in the official live stream room has completely exploded.

"Forward roll, it's a forward roll!"

"Does this mean that the forward roll is an essential skill for every top mid-laner?"

"Holy crap, that was a really cool forward roll!"

"Huh? Is this a script or not?! Is there really such a thing as the protagonist's halo?"

???

Before Lao K on stage could even show any concern, Di Wu appeared, leaving the audience in the front row somewhat dazed.

The last person to perform a pre-match roll has already become the greatest player in the history of this game.

"What the hell!?"

Di Wu glanced at the steps that had almost caused him to fall, and the grass platform in the ditch where the troupe was set up.

Fortunately, all those muscles I've built up weren't for nothing. I managed to adjust my body in mid-air and smoothly execute a perfect forward roll!
He slightly raised his head, not taking the little incident to heart, while Liu Hang and the backstage staff were on tenterhooks.

"so far so good!"

Liu Hang couldn't help but feel the tension in his suit pants, which were almost at their limit; they nearly ripped.

Di Wu stood at the very center of the venue, feeling the almost frenzied shouts of the fans. He slowly opened his arms.

He shouldn't think about anything else; once he's on this stage, he should just enjoy it.

The light shone on Di Wu, making him seem to radiate light, and his aura of destiny intensified.

The comments section was already buzzing with discussion.

"What a cool flip! Holy crap, this stage is terrifying!"

"Luckily, Gnik reacted quickly! He landed a stunningly cool shot!"

"A mid laner who can't do a forward roll isn't a good mid laner!"

"If Zhuge Liang had used this strategy when he launched his Northern Expeditions, what would have happened in the Three Kingdoms period?"

"Some people are born to be protagonists; perhaps that's referring to Gnik?"

Gnik: The chosen one? I am the sun!

JKL looked at Di Wu standing on the stage, his pupils trembling slightly. Of course, he knew that Di Wu had a lot of talent and inside jokes.

but.
Upon meeting him today, he also sensed that Gnik was different from others.

The next moment, Di Wu opened his arms, slightly raised his head to face the audience, and closed his eyes, just like he was performing a gymnastics move.

"Holy crap!? This guy is just enjoying the stage!"

Even JKL let out a sigh.
Gnik's performance is really not like that of a player playing in the LPL finals for the first time.

I still remember that my performance was somewhat unsatisfactory when I first played against Uzi, and this year's Gnik doesn't seem like a young player at all.

An interesting opponent!
The older brother's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but hum the Wu Bai hit song that Di Wu had sung at the karaoke bar a couple of days ago.

LGD has its own battle song, and so does TES!
War song! Rise!

"I heard you say that~~~"

Ok?
Di Wu, who was originally showing off, stared at JKL with wide eyes!

Wait, buddy? This song has now become TES's battle anthem! Is that right?
