The ENG vs HBG finals topic quickly rose to the top of the trending searches, followed closely by predictions about the win rate and various support-related topics.

ENG's performance this year has also been quite impressive. In last year's competition, compared to IG in the finals, they performed significantly better against the three-time champion HBG, and the game went the full five rounds.

In the world of esports, talent is no longer the most important factor.

Being able to stand on this stage proves that everyone is one in a million.

What actually influences the outcome of the game is the team's core strength and the mentality of each player.

In all major competitions, winning makes you a king, and losing makes you a loser.

Others won't care how hard you work, nor will they care to hear about how glorious your past was.

If you make even one mistake, all your past actions, whether unintentional or deliberate, will become sharp swords that mercilessly pierce your heart.

After a year of training and development, ENG is in good form. Whether in the Spring Split or the World Championship Play-In and Group Stages, his strength and player condition are almost at their peak.

Viewers who were initially skeptical of ENG have now had their expectations raised considerably.

However, facing a three-time champion, they naturally didn't dare to boast, and quietly raised their estimated win rate to 45%.

Qin Chuhuai arrived at the venue early to wait. The finals were to be held about a week after the semi-finals, and all the media were hyping it up, almost pushing the hype to its peak.

The tickets for the event were sold at exorbitant prices. If it weren't for the VIP tickets Qin Chuhuai gave her, Shen Ruoyun probably would have gone to watch the live broadcast.

After all, it's a way to win glory for the country, and there are so many fans and viewers watching on camera, so the competitors need to work on their looks a bit.

"Hey beautiful, could you make my bangs a bit more voluminous? I feel like they make my hair look a bit thin." Qingyan pointed to her forehead, her eyes full of hope.

The stylist hesitated, then said, "How about I put some hair extensions on you?"

"Hahaha..." The smug teammate next to him immediately burst into merciless laughter.

Qingyan, enraged, pointed at her teammates and said, "What are you laughing at! I'm striving for perfection, you know that?!"

When they appear on screen, the camera zooms in on their face, and you can see every single hair on their nostrils.

That's no lie, and they'll even have their own individual appearances later, all in the same team uniform, so it'll really be awkward for whoever looks the worst.

Moreover, it's the finals, and the level of attention it receives, both domestically and internationally, both live and online, is on a completely different level compared to previous competitions.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Miss, I think my dark circles are a bit too heavy. Could you please apply some more powder to cover them up?"

"I should have brought my shoulder pads. What a mistake."

Qin Chuhuai didn't care much about this. The makeup artist shaped his eyebrows and styled his hair a little.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at their appearance alone instantly raises the average level of ENG by a whole level.

With her head down, she sent several WeChat messages to Shen Ruojun, repeatedly confirming the time with her, afraid that Shen Ruojun might not come.

This is the most important moment of his life, and he hopes Shen Ruojun will be there.

It's been raining these past few days, and the weather forecast says a typhoon is coming, but that hasn't dampened the fans' enthusiasm.

The road from the apartment to the stadium was completely jammed. Shen Ruoyun wasn't in a hurry at first, but as the time drew closer, she started to sweat.

"Uncle, how much longer? I'm in a hurry."

The driver looked at the long line of cars in front of him and touched his shiny forehead.

"Well... it's hard to say. It's raining again, so we'll probably be stuck in traffic for another hour or so."

Shen Ruoyun regretted it a little; he shouldn't have taken his chances.

He secretly vowed that if he ever overslept again, he would be a dog!

It got really cold when it rained that day, and today the temperature dropped even more. I rushed out without wearing thermal underwear, and now my legs are shaking a bit.

Qin Chuhuai: Junjun, are you almost there? I'll have someone meet you at the door.

Shen Ruoyun: Almost there, there's a bit of traffic.

After a while, Qin Chuhuai sent another message.

Qin Chuhuai: I need to hand in my phone and get ready to go on stage. When you arrive, call this number: 13******54.

Qin Chuhuai: You absolutely have to come! [Sending heart emoji]

Shen Ruoyun stared anxiously at Qin Chuhuai's message on her phone. She craned her neck to look ahead, but the traffic jam stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Uncle, I'll go by myself." Shen Ruoyun gritted her teeth, grabbed an umbrella, opened the car door, and rushed out into the rain.

"Hey, it's still three kilometers to go, how are you going to get there?"

Shen Ruoyun looked around and realized that she had no choice but to run. She stuffed her phone into her pocket, took a deep breath, and started running wildly in the rain.

Rain seeped under the umbrella, causing him to instinctively shrink his neck. His woolen gloves were a little wet, so he raised his hand and shook them off.

To be honest, Shen Ruoyun felt a bit cold, and her throat started to feel dry and sore from running so fast.

He could hear his own heavy breathing, and at that moment he was actually a little confused. He didn't know why he had to rush to the scene.

Even though Qin Chuhuai wouldn't get angry at him even if he didn't go, he still rushed to the venue uncontrollably.

Perhaps a voice was urging him on, warning him that this was the last and only chance.

Let's say goodbye properly, and draw a perfect conclusion to our meeting and separation.

He reached out and grabbed a bench by the roadside, then glanced at his watch; it was already getting late.

Looking around, and finding no subway station nearby, Shen Ruoyun walked somewhat helplessly toward a shared bicycle.

"Good brother, I'm counting on you!" Shen Ruoyun gripped the handlebars with both hands and put on her hat.

Ignoring the cold and rain, they pedaled frantically toward the stadium.

Along the way, the rain blurred his vision, and the cold wind made his hands and feet numb.

Finally, Shen Ruoyun arrived at the entrance of the stadium, where there were hardly any people left.

Even the ticket gates stopped checking tickets, so he dialed the number Qin Chuhuai had given him.

"Hello, I'm at the door." A slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Please wait a moment, I'll be right there to get you."

A moment later, the staff led Shen Ruoyun to jog through the employee entrance.

At this moment, the competition was about to begin, and the host's voice was going on and on.

The opening ceremony's warm-up performance featured many popular singers and incorporated various holographic technologies, making it quite spectacular.

The screams and shouts of the fans were almost deafening, and there were countless banners and signs of support.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its peak, with fans of the two teams fiercely competing, determined not to lose their momentum.

Next came the introductions of the two teams. Qin Chuhuai stood at the entrance, his gaze sweeping across the audience, trying to find that familiar figure.

But the result disappointed him; the spot he had specially reserved for Shen Ruojun was empty.

He silently reassured himself that everything was alright; there was a typhoon today, but it didn't matter if it didn't come.

Shen Ruoyun was led by staff members and ran all the way, finally catching up.

I almost couldn't catch my breath before finally finding my seat in the audience.

He sat down, panting heavily, and before he could even calm himself down, he heard the host shout excitedly, "Let's welcome Team ENG into the arena!"

The spotlight shone on the players' tunnel, and Qin Chuhuai and his teammates walked out together.

Qin Chuhuai glanced at that spot again out of habit, and this time, he froze.

He spotted Shen Ruoyun at a glance, and his previously droopy eyes instantly lit up.

Shen Ruoyun also saw him, took off her hat, and waved frantically at him.

Qin Chuhuai's lips curled up, and he waved his hands at him without any restraint, like a puppy wagging its tail frantically to its owner.

Shen Ruoyun raised her hand to run her fingers through her wet hair, took off her wet gloves, and breathed on her palms a few times.

"Would you like it?" A woman's voice came from the side. Before he could even look over, a clean white towel was handed to him.

Shen Ruoyun turned her head and saw a cool-looking girl with short hair who looked somewhat familiar.

The other person noticed his gaze, and gave a somewhat dry smile that seemed to lack any friendliness.

“I am Qin Chuhuai’s sister. Do you remember me? I was there when my brother was about to give you CPR last time.”

Shen Ruoyun: "..."

Shen Ruoyun wiped the water off her face, her expression a little dazed, and for a moment she forgot to take the towel.

Seeing his expression, Qin Chunan assumed he was frightened and raised an eyebrow at Qin Chuhuai on the stage. "This was prepared by the person upstairs."

"Oh... thank you, sister." Shen Ruoyun took the towel, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

Qin Chunan handed over a thermos, trying to soften his voice as much as possible, "Drink water."

However, his overwhelming aura gave people the illusion that he was a villain about to kill someone.

Shen Ruoyun quickly took the thermos, unscrewed the lid, took a shaky sip, and secretly glanced at the other person.

"ENG will win!!!" The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly heated as the match began.

"Here, take this." Qin Chunan placed the light board that was at his feet into Shen Ruojun's hand.

Looking at the large, gleaming characters on the sign, [Qin Chuhuai, use your handsomeness to dazzle the opponents.]

Shen Ruoyun: "..." Is this really not a problem?

Unfortunately, the director's eyes, as sharp as radar, precisely spotted Shen Ruoyun.

Shen Ruoyun holding a light stick appeared on the big screen instantly, and the eyes of the audience all turned to her, with some people starting to cheer.

Shen Ruoyun hid the light board, feeling so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

When Qin Chuhuai saw this scene on stage, even his thick skin couldn't help but blush, and his earlobes turned so red they looked like they could bleed.

Meanwhile, Qingyan and the other beasts nearby didn't forget to egg him on, mocking Qin Chuhuai with their eyes.

After a series of pre-match predictions and commentary, the match officially began, with both players fully focused.

Qin Chuhuai becomes exceptionally serious during competitions, completely different from his usual innocent and naive demeanor.

Team ENG had a very smooth start and continued to expand their advantage.

However, HBG, being a three-time champion, quickly adjusted their tactics and launched a fierce counterattack.

The atmosphere was extremely tense, and the shouts from the audience were deafening.

Shen Ruoyun clenched her fists tightly and couldn't help but shout a few times as well. Her eyes were glued to the screen, and she was worried for Qin Chuhuai and the others.

Fortunately, a team fight broke out at the end, and Eng narrowly won. Qingyan survived alone and quickly pushed down the enemy base.

Shen Ruoyun gave the other person a thumbs up, and the other person scratched the back of their head and grinned.

The topic remains highly popular online, and Eng's win rate has risen to 47%.

In the following games, the two sides played extremely closely.

In the second game, Qingyan made a mistake, which allowed the opponent to seize the opportunity and win the game back.

Unsurprisingly, netizens criticized them harshly, and to avoid affecting their mentality, the contestants were not allowed to use their phones.

However, they are all veteran players with a lot of experience in major competitions, so they don't blame anyone and are comforting each other.

In the third game, Eng pulled out their trump card, a tactic they had prepared for the finals, aiming to catch their opponents off guard.

In this game, ENG played very smoothly, the team members cooperated well, and Qin Chuhuai performed exceptionally well.

The ENG fans at the scene went wild, and the cheers seemed to shake the venue.

Shen Ruoyun also stood up excitedly and held the light board above her head.

HBG team was not to be underestimated. They brought out their trump card tactics, putting ENG in a difficult situation.

The game was deadlocked for a long time, with the situation very close and the opponent gaining a significant economic advantage.

At a crucial moment, a team fight broke out between the two sides in the dragon pit, and the screen was so chaotic that it made your eyes blurry.

The ENG fans at the scene held their breath in tension, and Shen Ruoyun gripped her light stick tightly, her palms sweating.

Eng was wiped out by the enemy team for the first time ever, and their base was destroyed. The atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense.

Shen Ruojun looked down and opened the live chat. As expected, she was being heavily criticized.

[Go home, child, go home.]

[Hilarious! Is Qingqian shopping? If she doesn't need her eyes anymore, she should just donate them. Qingyan's hand speed is faster than my grandma's.]

[No need to look anymore, it's in such a terrible state, wouldn't it be better to just send it to the factory?]

[One game left, Eng will definitely win!!!]

[They even dared to go in that wave just now? The side laners were absolutely insane. I really don't understand what use they are besides their faces.]

Shen Ruoyun glanced at it and immediately turned off her phone without saying anything.

That's human nature; when you fail, even laymen will gather around and offer unsolicited advice.

The backstage area was also in a slump at this time. After a team wipe, HBG's momentum was established.

In the upcoming games, their performance will only improve; now it's time to test their mentality.

They knew, of course, that online trolls wouldn't let them off the hook, but they could only try not to think about it.

The coach is giving the group psychological counseling, telling them to relax and not be affected by external influences.

"At this point, you should just go all out and fight. Either way, there are only two possible outcomes."

Be decisive when initiating team fights; don't hesitate, and pay attention to the enemy's minion wave management.

In short, it's all about getting things done!
