Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

On the day EDG defeated Flash Wolves, the news became a trending topic.

Countless fans are eagerly anticipating EDG's return to the legendary MSI of S5.

Some people say that SKT is no longer the SKT of S5.

Originally, this year's MSI wasn't particularly popular, but with EDG's performance, its popularity has been steadily rising.

The number of people paying attention is increasing, and the level of discussion is also getting higher and higher.

The factory manager has become a household name again, with a series of memes such as "living a second life," "overtaking on a curve," and "Bolt the Blind Monk."

Zhou Hanyang has also received a lot of attention.

His extreme offensive style has won him countless fans.

The battle between SKT and G2 took place the next day under the watchful eyes of countless people.

SKT defeated G2 Esports with a score of 3-2!

As if spurred on by Zhou Hanyang, SKT, who were originally confident of winning by playing the late game, lost their match against G2.

I selected five early-to-mid-game lineups, and at most, I had one late-game carry to cover for the team.

They constantly clashed with G2 in the early and mid-game.

SKT was clearly not used to this high-intensity early and mid-game clashes. After losing the first point, they managed to win back a point in the second game.

Just when everyone thought SKT was going to beat G2 3-1, SKT lost to G2 again in the third game!

However, SKT's ability to adjust was quite rapid, and they made a series of adjustments in the last two games.

After winning two consecutive games, they finally secured the victory in G2 and earned their ticket to the finals.

EDG and SKT will face off in a highly anticipated showdown.

Fans around the world are full of anticipation.

They were curious whether MSI belonged to EDG.

SKT redeemed themselves from the humiliation of S5, completing their revenge against EDG after two years.

On the day he won the game, Faker even posted an article on his personal social media account.

The article is titled "[Your Great Demon King is Back!]"

Hello everyone, my name is Lee Sang-hyeok.

International fans call me a god. Korean fans call me the Great Demon King.

Haha! Doesn't this feel familiar?

Six months ago, I said I preferred the title "God," because at that time I truly felt he was far superior to the Demon King!

But now, six months later, I like the title "Demon King" even more!

During last year's World Championship semi-finals, I experienced the feeling of impending defeat for the first time in a long time.

At that time, I felt that I was no longer the one who was far ahead and the only one.

I wish I were like a god, calm and emotionless, able to lead my teammates to victory!

As I had hoped, I indeed won and achieved final victory.

Now, my teammates and I are once again standing on the edge of a cliff. When the score reached 2-1, that thought resurfaced in my mind.

Are we really going to lose?

At that moment, a voice echoed in my mind.

SKT is the real challenger at this MSI.

Yes, we, SKT, are the real challengers!

As a challenger, you must be prepared to fail.

A god cannot be defeated; once defeated, his invincibility vanishes, and everyone will rise up against him!

But the Demon King is not afraid of these.

The Demon King can accept countless failures and will come back stronger at any cost!

When I assumed the role of the Demon King, I found I felt no pressure whatsoever! My game strategy became clearer, and my gameplay became more confident!

As expected, we won the game!

This time, I want to say something to both my fans and my opponents!!!

Your Great Demon King is back!

Get ready for our challenge, EDG!!!

Faker's post titled "Your Great Demon King is Back" was published.

It instantly became a trending topic across the entire internet!

G2 further fueled the fire by immediately posting on their official social media account.

[EDG! You're so arrogant, so amazing!]

G2's post completely ignited the popularity of Faker's article.

The news is being reported almost all over the world.

Without him!

On the surface, this article is just Faker's thoughts.

But we can see that Faker is expressing the spirit of never giving up in the face of difficulties and challenges.

Moreover, because the MSI schedule is very short.

There was absolutely no rest time after the semi-finals.

EDG will face off against FW on May 20th!

On May 21st, SKT will face off against G2!

EDG will face SKT on May 22nd!

May 22nd!

Rio Olympic Stadium!!!

Fans started arriving at the competition venue as early as 9 a.m.

Both teams' players arrived at the venue before 1 p.m.

The match will officially start at 2 p.m. local time.

As is customary, a promotional video was played before the match.

These promotional videos were actually filmed and recorded before the semifinals even began.

At 1:50 p.m. local time, the promotional video appeared on the big screen.

The first one to appear was naturally Mingkai!

"I did some research on MSI before the Spring Finals last year and found that SKT was quite strong. We couldn't beat them, so we didn't go. We let RNG get beaten!"

Mingkai suppressed a laugh and pretended to be expressionless as he said, "Then this year, as usual, I studied MSI again and felt that we probably couldn't beat them."

We were originally planning to stay away from MSI, just like last year, and let WE or RNG get beaten up.

As it turns out, one of our substitute top laners said he was a fan of Faker and insisted on meeting him.

He cried and begged me on his knees for three days and three nights. I was so annoyed by him that I kicked over the water dispenser and saved the day in the Spring Split semifinals! We fought our way to MSI!

I want to say to SKT, Attack's gaming talent is truly the best I've ever seen! Are you guys mentally prepared to get crushed by the fans, just like I did at last year's World Championship?

When Mingkai made this statement, some overseas fans who didn't understand it thought it was alright.

Domestic fans were absolutely laughing their heads off.

"Great, great, EDG has ruined the fan meet-up!"

"Fan meeting? (X), beat up the idol (√)!"

"6666666!"

"Hahahahahahaha... I kicked over the water dispenser! Dad, save me, I can't laugh myself to death."

"I bet you, Factory Manager, found out Peanut was coming and wanted to wash away your shame, so you knelt before Attack for three days and three nights before he brought you here, right?"

"Kneeled for three days and three nights? (X) Slept for three days and three nights (√)!"

"I slept for three days and three nights in detail!"

"7777777!"

After Mingkai finished his trash talk, it was Faker's turn.

"We were just one step behind EDG at the S5 MSI. Although we won the S5 World Championship, this best-of-five series remains a regret in my heart!"

With his arms crossed and a blank expression, Faker said, "This time, we must avenge ourselves against EDG! Because this may very well be our only chance for revenge in this lifetime!"

Faker's words were a huge surprise!

The official LCK livestream channel on Twitch and the official domestic livestream channel both exploded instantly!

[I wrote three versions of Faker's autobiography... totaling over 2800 words, but I still think this one is the best. It finally expresses the emotions well without mentioning Soro.]

[I was a little late writing this! Two more chapters will be posted before 6 PM!]
