You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 191 Part 4

As ZGDX was fighting Baron, G4’s bot duo and mid began pushing turrets in order to catch up in economy. They took down the inner turrets at bot and mid respectively…… After they destroyed those turrets, they returned to base immediately to upgrade their items in preparation from the coming tough fights against ZGDX-- --

23 minutes into the game, ZGDX, with Baron buff, destroyed three of G4’s outer turrets. The gap between the two teams widened to 6000 gold……

As the game moved along, it was obvious that the pressure was getting to G4’s players more and more.

Their mid was out of sync with his teammates and was late to the team fight.

Their AD made a stupid mistake by going deep into the enemy side of the map, near their inner turret, without having any wards nearby to spot the enemy early.

Their jungler tried his best to keep the momentum going all by himself but because they had lost all of their outer turrets, he couldn’t place any wards……

Ten minutes into G4’s slow death, even G4’s own players didn’t believe they could turn the game around. They had relied on their confidence and relaxed attitude in their previous matches and played tricks whenever possible to beat enemies who only knew how to stick to their routines-- --

But this time, it wasn’t smooth sailing.

37 minutes into the game, ZGDX took Baron again and fought all the way from top lane  into G4’s base. G4’s Gragas moved forward and blew Gnar into his own team, right onto G4’s AD-- --

Amidst the commentators’ pained shouting, the audience could also see Old Cat, on stage, excitedly roaring as his face turned red: “Nice! Good job! Thanks daddy Gragas! ! ! ! !”

G4’s Sivir, though at full health, was unable to move. She cast her ultimate in an attempt to get away but Kalista and Annie unleashed their abilities, knocking her up in the air, and used their ultimates. Syndra followed up with Q, E, and R to kill Sivir. At the same time, Kindred’s ultimate came down to protect them and Annie was able to come back safely to heal AD-- --

All ZGDX players survived!

G4 was missing their AD and Orianna was again out of sync with her teammates. Rumble, though trying to counter attack, wasn’t able to do much against ZGDX. It seemed that his fate was sealed……

“Ahhhhhhh.” Little Fatty shouted: “Ahhhhhh, kill him, kill him! Don’t let Rumble go back to the fountain! ! !”

“Don’t, don’t, don’t. They can’t get up, can’t get up. What can they do with only the support.” Old K called out: “Nexus turret is down, nexus turret is down. We can win, we can win. GG! ! !”

Old Cat: “Kill him. I became small. The other side’s AD will respawn in 20 seconds!”

Lu Sicheng: “Hit the turret. Concentrate on that, hit the turret-- --”

Tong Yao: “......It looks like it’s finished.”

It’s finished.

It’s finished!

It’s finished, ahhhhhhh! ! !

They took down two nexus turrets. When the cursor was on the other side’s blue base, Tong Yao watched the long health bar gradually diminish little by little……

Her blood started to boil inside her body again and her eye sockets started to feel sore. She knew what all this meant……

At the moment when G4’s AD respawned and about to come out the fountain, the last drop of health of G4’s Nexus was cleared by Tong Yao with a basic attack. The game screen froze and the most beautiful picture of a Nexus exploding appeared-- --

“We won. The championship.”

Tong Yao’s eyes blurred.

She blinked and a single tear fell onto the collar of her uniform.

The world surrounding her seemed to become quiet all of sudden. Tong Yao pulled down the headphones and stood up. She could hear Little Fatty roar like an animal, Old K laugh happily, and Old Cat murmur “championship skin, ahhh, I want Rumble”......

Chapter 191 Part 3

11 minutes into the game, G4’s mid, Orianna, went down to bot. Tong Yao immediately noticed it and followed her down.

11 minutes and 5 seconds into the game, the ward Old K left in the other side’s jungle detected Orianna. Lu Sicheng and his teammates started to pull back. The G4 bot duo didn’t suspect anything and pushed forward as ZGDX moved backwards.

11 minutes and 6 seconds into the game, Old Cat started to teleport down from top lane. At the same time, G4’s Gragas was going to gank top from behind but half way there he saw Old Cat’s Gnar teleport. Gragas was stunned at first, then began constantly pinging at bot that ZGDX’s top had teleported, ZGDX’s top had teleported.

11 minutes and 9 seconds into the game, G4’s top Rumble, obviously reacting a little slow, hesitatingly clicked teleport-- --

At that moment, Gnar had already landed in the bush at bot and used a basic attack to kill a minion under the turret to earn enough energy to become Mega Gnar. Mega Gnar stretched all of his four limbs and jumped out of the bush, smacking the ground of the Summoner’s Rift, sending G4’s bot duo together with their mid into the wall!

Gnar single handedly stunned three of the enemy!

Commentator G: [Ahhhhhh, he stunned all of them!]

Amidst Commentator G’s shouting, the stun on G4 was about to end and Kalista used her ultimate to throw Annie into the middle of the three enemies. Annie bumped into the three who were just about to be able to move around, then Annie used her ultimate to hit all three of them and then Syndra came up to kill all three of them-- --

It was a perfect ability combo!

Commentator D: [Bot is finished.]

Commentator F: [Rumble’s now teleporting to bot. He’s using his ultimate to force the other side’s AD to back away…… However, what’s the use, your teammates are almost all gone.]

Commentator G: [Rumble shouldn’t have come down…… He’ll be killed too. I have a feeling that he can’t get away. Though Gnar is small now and Kalista has left too, Smiling is still-- --Oh, Smiling is in such good condition; she used her dark sphere to drag Rumble back and kill him. This battle is now 0 : 4, G4 is in big trouble.]

At the 12th minute, after securing 4 kills, ZGDX continued to take down the first turret and the first elemental drake. G4, after all the players respawned, chose to give up fighting for the mountain drake and instead they turned to try to rush the outer turret at ZGDX mid lane-- --

ZGDX’s Kindred, who still had her ultimate, and Syndra arrived just in time to interrupt G4’s efforts. They weren’t able to take down the outer turret at mid. ZGDX’s other teammates also arrived…… Since all the players weren’t in the best condition, after forcing G4 to back away, ZGDX chose not to chase after them.

ZGDX held at a huge advantage at this moment-- --

Tong Yao hid under the turret to warp back to base. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened for no reason, as if all the blood in her had suddenly rushed into her brain in an instant before it slowly flowed down to her finger tips……

The desire for victory had never been this strong before.

She wanted to win.

To win this round-- --

Tong Yao took a deep breath. She had goosebumps on her arms and the hands on the keyboard were slightly quivering…… At that moment, she suddenly felt someone had touched her arm. She turned around to take a look at the man next to her. She met a pair of tranquil eyes. The man looked at her in silence, then smiled at her.

Tong Yao: “......”

She suddenly remembered that one night in the car, the man had slowly told her-- --

[Don’t worry. You’ll get everything that you want.]

Tong Yao collected herself. The boiling blood in her body seemed to calm down now and her focus was back on the current match.

21 minutes into the game, Gnar went to top to farm but was caught by Rumble and Gragas. Fortunately, Gnar transformed into Mega Gnar at the right moment, buying enough time for ZGDX’s AD and mid to rush over to counter attack. Gragas died and Rumble ran back with a sliver of health left-- --

ZGDX also took down Baron, who was nearby. When Old K used smite to take down Baron, the LPL fans in the audience cheered loudly which nicely covered up the awkward silence from the other half of the audience…...

Chapter 191 Part 2

Commentator G was in shock: those guys really know when to pick a fight! Why can’t they wait till after the game? ! Abb even posted on Twitter a while ago! I was wondering what that smiley emoji was supposed to mean-- --

The ban & pick phase went smoothly while Commentator G struggled to get over his shock. But from the faces the G4 players were making, anyone could tell that they weren’t in a good mood…… Unexpectedly, G4 didn’t ban Lu Sicheng’s Kalista and support’s Annie. The Kalista and Annie duo that was first used in S5 and was still very popular in S6 as well. ZGDX had no trouble at all to get them-- --

When ZGDX locked those two champions for the bot duo, the audience booed them. Some fans with supporter boards for G4 looked quite angry. The commentators looked at each other and it was the first time they didn’t know what to say……

The ban & pick phase ended quickly-- --

G4 ban: Leblanc, Twisted Fate, Nidalee.

ZGDX ban: Ryze, Aurelion Sol, Ezreal.

G4 pick: Rumble, Gragas, Orianna, Sivir, Alistar.

ZGDX pick: Gnar, Kindred, Syndra, Kalista, Annie.

The ten players all loaded into the game. Tong Yao moved her wrist around and said: “Let’s finish it this round. This match is so intense that I’m already tired after two rounds.”

Lu Sicheng: “I hope they won’t get tougher out of frustration. They played better in the second round than the first. They won’t get super strong in the third round?”

Little Fatty: “Keep your mouth shut. Really, it was you who kept feeding the other side in the second round, feeding to the point that we almost burst.”

Lu Sicheng: “How can you blame me for that?”

Little Fatty: “If not you, who should I blame?”

Lu Sicheng tidied the wrist band on his hand and said quite casually: “Then who was the one who went to the bush and never came back? Have you reached your goal of being killed a thousand times? The first ATM machine that feeds kills among all the leagues, including wildcard teams and six regions: ZGDX, Pang.”

Tong Yao: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

The game began and no one seemed to be interested in team fights at level one. Little Fatty wouldn’t place wards unless Lu Sicheng went with him. He was as pretentious as a little girl who was afraid to walk in darkness…… However, Lu Sicheng went along with him. Little Fatty didn’t serve as a support to him for two years in vain.

The laning phase went quite normally till level three.

G4’s Gragas went to mid and used E to bump Tong Yao-- --Tong Yao had just reached level four. She didn’t have time to use flash and was knocked directly under the eyes of the opposing mid, Orianna. It was hard to fight back without the outer turret to help protect her. Tong Yao gave up and lifted both of her hands off the keyboard.

G4 mid, Orianna, got first blood!

Lu Sicheng: “They’re really getting tougher.”

“Don’t you talk.” Tong Yao took the chance to wipe the sweat in her palms with a paper towel as she waited to respawn: “Orianna is going to develop now. Old K, come help me hold the minion wave back, don’t let it push over otherwise I’ll burst. Hold this wave, then I can still kill her!”

At the 6th minute, Orianna reached level six first and cast her ultimate at Tong Yao. Tong Yao flashed in the opposite direction and dodged the ultimate while turning around to farm the minions, reaching level six. She unlocked her ultimate the first chance she got, used QEWWQAR, sending three balls flying at Orianna, plus ignite. Orianna’s health plummeted-- --Orianna could only give herself a shield, flash back, and run away. She used Q on Tong Yao as she ran away and went all the way back under her own turret. Just at that moment, Old K’s Kindred suddenly popped out of the bush and used a basic attack to kill Orianna!

It was 1 : 1 even now!

Just then, a wave of minions pushed up to G4’s mid lane outer turret. Orianna couldn’t farm and called the team’s jungler to come help farm-- --Tong Yao was quite happy that she had earned one assist and caught up by 7 or 8 in creep score. She and Old K both went back to upgrade their items. They each got a ward.

Tong Yao went to bot and placed a ward in the bush behind the other side’s outer turret to get ready for the first team fight-- --

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 191 Part 1

Two rounds of the final match of 2016 League of Legends World Competition had been completed. G4, due to their bot’s bad decision, lost both rounds and the team had been pushed to the edge of the cliff……

2 : 0.

If G4 lost one more round, then this would be the shortest final best of 5 match ever played in history and the most imbalanced match in terms of the strength between the two teams…… Fans of the LCS region were quite anxious and cried out in silence: Didn’t you say you’ll send all the LPL teams home! Damn, this is different from what you’ve promised! Even if ZGDX were really strong, it would be too ridiculous to let them win 3 : 0! ! !

Meanwhile, in the ZGDX break room, Tong Yao continued to nag: “If I were their top this round, I'd go crazy as well. They had an advantage but their bot duo kept chasing after you, for what? It’s just 300 hundred gold. Besides, they were at bot, it’s such a long way to go to Baron. By the time they got there, you would’ve been respawning already and they might not be able to beat Baron…… What’s the point of killing you, it’s pointless except for venting their anger.”

Tong Yao repeatedly stressed: “Really, if I were their top, I would be mad too. The advantage I worked hard to achieve was wasted by my teammates’ random actions.”

Lu Sicheng passed by in front of Tong Yao with a water cup in hand without looking at her. Tong Yao reached out to pull on the hem of his top-- --Lu Sicheng turned around to look at her and touched her face with the icy water cup: “What’s this, you starting to worry about the other team half way through the match?”

Tong Yao’s lips moved as she was about to say something, suddenly they heard a loud commotion coming from the room next door. Tong Yao jumped and released the hold on Lu Sicheng’s top. Everyone in the room looked in unison towards the direction where the noise was coming from……

Little Fatty: “What’s this?”

A little while later, there were people running outside the door. Some were talking hastily. It sounded quite chaotic outside…… Inside the quiet breakroom, Tong Yao asked confusedly: “Something on fire?”

Lu Sicheng took a look at her, reached over to pat her head, and gestured for her to stay put. Then he started to walk towards the door-- --He opened the door ajar to take a look, then squeezed himself out of the door and closed it after himself. Everyone left inside the room looked at the door attentively.

After a little while, Lu Sicheng came back. He glanced over everyone in the room and pointed at Tong Yao: “You’re poisonous.”

Tong Yao: “Talk nicely. What’s going on out there?”

Lu Sicheng: “G4’s top and AD got into a fight. You believe that?”

Tong Yao: “I don’t believe it.”

Lu Sicheng pulled the door open a little wider and everyone could see the confused faces on the event staff outside, their expressions seemed to say “what’s this.” Then Lu Sicheng said coldly: “Too bad, it’s true.”

Everyone: “......”

Lu Sicheng: “Everyone come out, get ready for the next round. Let’s try to finish this match in three rounds. I’ll buy you guys hot pot for a month until you throw up.”

……

On the stage, it was quite tense.

Commentator D: [Obviously, G4 is desperate now.]

Commentator F: [I only hope that they bring out the same spirit that they showed in the quarter finals and semi finals! Keep it up, brothers! You can be better than this!]

Commentator G: [To be honest, I’m quite nervous…… Though as a commentator, I have to be impartial. But I just keep feeling like something’s not quite right here. Who can tell me what’s on Abb’s face-- --]

Commentator D: [Hum! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the finals of the S6 League of Legends professional leagues world competition. The third round of the final match has started. We can see that G4, after some discussion, has banned Leblanc and Twisted Fate!]

On the commentators stage, Commentator G seemed quite confused and turned to take a look at Commentator D. It seemed that Commentator G didn’t know what had happened earlier…… Commentator F turned around to ask for a piece of paper from the staff behind them. Then, when the camera was cutting away from them, he quickly jotted down what happened during the time when Commentator G was in the restroom. Commentator G took a look at it and widened his eyes in silence. Then he mouthed: Oh, my god!

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 190 Part 2

In team fights, Lu Sicheng had to use most of his time to navigate around the enemy to avoid their abilities since he lacked adequate protection. He could only deal damage to enemies whenever he managed to find the chance. Usually, a team fight would be over in 20 seconds. The fact that Lu Sicheng had to keep moving around wasted a lot of time.

Then he couldn’t deal enough damage to the enemy.

Then the team lost the team fight.

Commentator G: [The game’s lasted for about 20 minutes now. Baron is about to spawn-- --ZGDX is also about to face the real test.]

Commentator D: [G4 has a great advantage this round, just like their opponent ZGDX had in the last round…… Though we know we can’t expect the other side to surrender this time around-- --]

Commentator F: [I have to say it for the fans of the local region, please, just win one round!]

The audience burst into laughter.

The belief that a commentator’s words could sometimes jinx a team seemed to become true again-- --It was 21 minutes into the game, Baron spawned in just a minute ago. There was a small scale fight in between the outer and inner turrets at ZGDX’s bot. G4’s jungler, support, and AD met Lu Sicheng and Little Fatty who were farming by themselves……

G4’s bot, which had been crushed for 30 minutes in the last round and the first one who clicked surrender, suddenly grew excited.

He together with the jungler and support kept chasing and attacking Little Fatty and Lu Sicheng. Little Fatty’s Nami turned around and used her ultimate to push up the three enemies and Lu Sicheng turned around to cast Q.

After the counterattack, Little Fatty and Lu Sicheng didn’t stay to continue the fight but turned around to run away. The three G4 players chased after them all the way to the inner turret-- --

The audience at this moment could see Lu Sicheng’s mouth was moving constantly.

He was giving commands for something.

Without any warning, the cameraman cut the shot to Baron-- --Then the audience noticed that ZGDX’s mid, top, and jungler had started stealing Baron just as it spawned!

The audience was in commotion!

G4’s top and mid obviously didn’t expect ZGDX would do this. The two had teamed up to go to ZGDX’s jungle to steal red buff, then they planned to help their other three teammates kill Lu Sicheng and Little Fatty before going for Baron!

When they reacted to what had already happened, it was too late. Baron had only a sliver of health left and Nidalee took it down with smite. At the same time, Lu Sicheng, though low in health, counterattacked from under the inner turret and killed the other side’s AD!

Commentator D: [I’m dumbfounded.]

Commentator G: [They shouldn’t have stayed so long at bot. Sivir still has her ultimate in hand, how could they catch up to her…… This time, it’s G4 who has gotten in over their heads-- --In a world competition, the one you’re facing is always a strong team. They shouldn’t let their emotions get the upper hand, that’s even worse than being desperate.]

Commentator F used both of his hands to hold his head and watched the screen in silence for a while, then said slowly: [At this moment, ZGDX is pushing both outer turrets at mid and top one after another…… They’ve caught up with G4 in economy. Alright, I don’t feel like saying anything more, not even fuck.]

-- --ZGDX had started their counterattack!

After getting Baron and the turrets, ZGDX once again pushed into G4’s base. In this new team fight, G4 once again felt the horror of being dominated by ZGDX like last round……

At 35th minute, the game had a total turn around!

……

When the second round ended, Tong Yao stood up and took off her headphones while taking a look at the other side-- --Despite G4’s great advantage in early game, the game turned around against them in the end. Judging from the expressions on their faces, it seemed that they couldn’t be optimistic anymore……

Especially their top, who enjoyed quite an advantage early in the game, seemed ready to fight their bot-- --He probably felt that if bot and the other two didn’t go after ZGDX’s bot duo, there might not have been a turn around……

Tong Yao kept looking back at them while heading backstage: “......It looks like their top and bot are fighting.”

“Keep going.” Lu Sicheng pushed her: “Why do you like gossip so much?”

Tong Yao: “......”

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 190 Part 1

Tong Yao: “The nine-year compulsory education that forced me to learn English was probably for a day like this so I can happily get online to watch fans from other countries fall apart…… I’m super happy watching that, am I a bad person?”

“The expression on your face tells me that you’re quite happy to be a bad person.” Lu Sicheng passed by in front of Tong Yao to get some water. “But compared to the Korean teams, G4 is really not as strong. If YQCB has another half season to play together as a team, they should be able to defeat G4.”

Xiao Rui: “You’re trying to save face for your buddy again.”

Tong Yao: “He started to do that in the match. I’m already used to it.”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Since it was quite easy to win the first round, the players of ZGDX were quite relaxed during their break time. When they were notified to get on stage for the second round, everyone looked quite at ease as well…… The G4 players didn’t seem that concerned about their loss either. It seemed that they didn’t care too much about the public’s opinion. If they cared about it, they probably wouldn’t click surrender in the last round anyway.

-- --Tong Yao guessed that G4 decided to surrender because they felt that compared to being totally demoralized by dragging the game out, it was probably better to surrender then get ready for the second round.

It looked like Tong Yao’s guess was right.

Once the second round started, it was obvious that G4 wasn’t bothered too much by their surrender in the first round. They even seemed to be in a better condition than the first round-- --The ban & pick phase concluded smoothly. The champions ZGDX got this round weren’t that ideal. When the ban & pick phase ended, Lu Sicheng took a look at their own lineup: top Rumble, jungler Nidalee, mid Corki, bot Sivir, and support Nami.

Lu Sicheng: “There’s no frontline.”

Tong Yao: “It’s time to test just how agile you can be.”

Lu Sicheng: “Don’t, I’m just a fragile Sivir……”

As they were talking, the ten players of both teams loaded into the game. The second round officially began!

……

Everyone in ZGDX thought G4 wouldn’t repeat their mistake from the last round at level one again, but G4 was quite fixated on the same strategy. And this time around, they succeeded!

In the beginning of the game, Little Fatty was the first one to get into lane. As usual, he was going to the triangle bush to place a ward. When Nami passed the bush, she was suddenly hooked by something inside the bush, only a piece of Nami’s scale was left behind. From that point onward, Nami disappeared from sight……

Then the center of the screen showed a notification of the enemy Lucian getting first blood. A curse could be heard in ZGDX’s voice channel!

Lu Sicheng’s Sivir had just arrived at her lane. Lu Sicheng sounded quite calm: “This time, bot’s finished again.”

Lu Sicheng: “It’s our bot that’s finished.”

Everyone: “......”

Usually, what the ZGDX captain said would generally describe how the game would go. Besides, G4’s bot duo couldn’t be that bad since they had made it to the finals in a world competition-- --Therefore, five minutes into the game, Sivir was already suppressed by Lucian thanks to the advantage of getting first blood……

Since the situation at bot wasn’t too good, Tong Yao at mid didn’t have the courage to act rashly either-- --

With the advantage at bot and the enemy pinned at mid, G4 started to tower dive at top. Their top, jungler, and support began attacking Old Cat’s Rumble. In 15 minutes, Rumble’s stats for the game became 0/4/0!

During the first team fight at the drake arena, Rumble teleported to bot and cast his ultimate to  damage the other side’s tanky top. Old Cat at this moment couldn’t stop himself from cursing: “This Rumble god’s mental state is falling apart! I’ve said I wanted a Rumble skin, but now I might as well have a Gnar skin! So angry!”

In this team fight, ZGDX lost three champions to just one of the enemy’s. They also lost the drake and the outer turret at mid. They were behind by 2500 gold…… What’s worse was that all three lanes hadn’t obtained an advantage in the early game. By this time, the inconvenience of not having a frontliner in their lineup had fully exposed-- --

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 189 Part 3

Old Cat didn’t seem to mind Old K’s response. He seemed fine with being one level below the opposing top, very optimistic-- --If it were TAT’s or OP’s top on the other side, he would probably be too uptight to say so many words all at once……

At 12th minute, Old K took down his first elemental drake and passed by mid to help Tong Yao farm minions. Afterwards, he went to help top-- --Gnar happened to become big as Nidalee arrived and together they pressed the short-legged Rumble against the wall and pummeled him. Orianna was a little late coming to help, all she could do was use her ultimate just in time to hold back Nidalee. Rumble flashed away, running to safety with a sliver of health left while Nidalee was now low on health……

G4’s mid and top didn’t coordinate well this time. If Orianna had arrived a little earlier, she could very well use her ultimate to help Rumble kill Nidalee and possibly Gnar as well since Gnar was about to shrink back plus he wasn’t that well developed in the first place-- --

Old K: “Very well, the other side’s top and mid are either having a fight now or are dead silent. Quite embarrassing……”

Old Cat: “Rumble’s thinking you might as well have arrived after my body was cold and dead and Orianna is thinking that Rumble’s just asking to be killed moving so far ahead just because you were ahead of a dozen or so minions!”

Tong Yao: “We were like that before. Except when we initiated the fight, otherwise we were slow in supporting each other and always suffered losses because of that.”

Lu Sicheng: “Talk less, take the Rift Herald first, then go to mid for a team fight so we can take down Orianna’s outer turret.”

It was 18 minutes into the game, the difference of economy between the two teams was at 4500.

ZGDX had one turret and one drake on hand and Sivir had already finished making one of her endgame items and was half way finished with another. They were already quite strong for a team fight. It was impressive to achieve all that in 18 minutes!

G4 wasn’t as good as LCK teams during the laning phase. Therefore, they weren’t good at counter attacks when they were in a disadvantageous situation. The game began to follow the ZGDX’s tempo -- --

Tower dive.

Kill.

Push turret.

Clear minion lane, take drake.

The game seemed to begin to follow a very simple and clear strategy. Even the Bronze players in the audience could foresee what ZGDX would do next. Because of the superiority of ZGDX’s items, they didn’t need to play the game with their brains anymore…... 

At the 30th minute, the moment ZGDX took down Baron, the camera suddenly panned to G4’s main base-- --It took a while for the audience to realize what had happened; G4 had surrendered!

Commentator F: [What can I say? I have nothing to say.]

Commentator D: [Hum, hum, hum, alright. Maybe to maintain a good state of mind or for some other reasons, G4 has clicked surrender-- --Let’s congratulate ZGDX for winning the first round!]

……

The forums on various platforms exploded with comments-- --

It was exhausting to watch G4 being crushed for 30 minutes and now their surrender made their loss even harder for their fans to stomach!

[66666666666666 This is the first time I’ve seen a team surrender in the finals.]

[We can’t laugh at LPL for surrendering in the opening game at S5 anymore. To be honest, it’s even more shameful to surrender at finals……]

[The S6 finals already finished a long time ago, when ZGDX defeated TAT-- --Now? It’s just the warm-up exhibition match for the all star game. The Ice team (*The all star game is between two teams, Ice and Fire, each team is composed of members from 3 regions and the regions are decided based on their performance in the worlds tournament) surrenders. It has nothing to do with the LCS, don’t blame us.]

[In addition to being utterly humiliating, I figure Abb’s probably totally demoralized-- --I was doing well at top but when I looked up, bot was totally crushed.]

[I don’t know, I don’t know anything. I’m a fan of ZGDX. I can now speak loudly, so happy hahahahahahaha!]

This round was called “the first surrender in history”. Amidst such a feverish atmosphere, the audience waited for the beginning of the second round.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 189 Part 2

All ten players from both sides loaded the game. About 20 seconds later, all ten champions popped out of their respective fountains. Tong Yao clicked her mouse and swirled around in the spring: “Fight to avenge the ex-boyfriend!”

Everyone quieted down in the team channel. Lu Sicheng smirked: “Looks like you don’t want to win. Bot will go afk.”

“Passive play will be fined.”

“You think everyone is as poor as you.”

The two of them squabbled back and forth. The whole team was in a light-hearted mood-- --In the esports world, the general impression was that the LCK was better than the LCS. The fact that ZGDX could defeat two LCK teams to go to the finals only showed that their strength and mindset were totally different from when they were playing the summer season finals!

ZGDX’s champions all moved into their own lanes. In the beginning, everyone was quite careful. They knew that European teams liked to play tricks even at level one. Once they were in their own lanes, the most important thing was to place wards in bushes-- --Indeed, Old K placed a ward in the bush next to the team’s buff and discovered that there were three enemies hiding there. Fortunately Little Fatty’s Braum was strong even at level one. He walked up to cast his ability and deployed his shield while doing basic attacks. He forced the other side’s AD to use flash and heal!

Lu Sicheng: “Old K, after farming half of the jungle, come down to bot. The other side’s bot is finished now.”

Just as Lu Sicheng expected, the other side’s bot thought since he didn’t have two of his summoner’s skills to counter attack, Old K wouldn’t bother to come down to bot to attack him. What the other AD didn’t expect was that before any of them reached level two, when Lu Sicheng reached level two first, Old K’s Nidalee suddenly jumped out of the bush. Nidalee nailed the enemy Ezreal with her spear, then let Sivir finish him off!

At the same time, two tanky supports from both sides, Braum and Alistar, were attacking each other. When Alistar saw his team’s AD die, he tried to retreat since he was low in health. Sivir and Braum went after him, he turned to headbutt Braum away and hastily stepped into the minion lane-- --In a normal laning phase, this would probably be a good choice. Yet he had forgotten that the person he was facing was the enemy’s Sivir. Sivir used her Q ability and the minions as a stepping stone to kill Alistar!

Double kill!

Sivir had two kills already in the early game. Sivir was supposed to be a champion which had to concentrate on developing in the early game but now she had become the most powerful champion in the lanes-- --From the fourth minute onward, G4’s bot never came out from under their own outer turret……

Commentator D: [This is called: Give me a kill, I’ll take over the world.]

Commentator G: [Chessman is certainly a reliable man. Uh uh uh, I want to marry him.]

Commentator D: [Didn’t you tell us to commentate nicely?]

Commentator F: [I believe it’s quite difficult for G4’s bot to come back up, if their mid, Orianna, doesn’t find the chance to come to give their bot some support…… I hope they can play more smartly. At least their Orianna is developing quite well. Come, G4, Gogone-- --]

Commentator D: [Ah, just like you said, their mid is really coming!]

Commentator D: [ZGDX’s mid.]

Commentator F: [......................................................]

Commentator D: [Hahahahahahahahahaha!]

Amidst commentator D’s laughter, Smiling’s Syndra went down to bot at the seventh minute, deployed all her dark spheres and used them to push the enemy bot duo out of the safety range of their turret. ZGDX’s bot duo were well developed and immediately tower dived together with Tong Yao. Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao both took a kill apiece. Little Fatty got two assists!

It was 4 : 0 now. After ZGDX took down the first turret, the difference in economy between the two teams had reached 2500!

The game had been going on for only seven minutes!

A 2500 gold difference in 7 minutes!

Tong Yao: “If there's any bullet comments now, I believe the screen would be covered by 66666…… When I finished farming, I pretended that I was in a hurry to go back to get items-- --The other side’s mid even stretched his head to take a look at me. Seeing I was going back, he also went back, hahahahahahahahahahaha. Then I came down to bot, hahahahaha, such good acting. He’s really mad!”

Lu Sicheng hid in the bush to go back: “They’re so easy to beat. How did Li Junhe and Butterfly lose to them?”

“How?” Old K said slowly and lightly: “You guys check the stats. Take a look at our top who’s been unusually quiet since the beginning of the game. He has been quietly……”

Tong Yao checked the stat and finished Old K’s sentence for him: “He has been quietly suffering, down 20 minions-- --I was wondering why Old Cat’s been so quiet. Brother, is the scenery at top alright?

“This Rumble is a little sharp, making my Gnar unable to take care of himself. While you were all having a good time at bot, you totally forgot that there’s a top in this world who’s suffering badly……” Old Cat had just been forced to go back and missed half of the wave of minions again. His Gnar was one level below the other side’s Rumble. He continued: “Damn jungler, why haven’t you gone up to gank top? You picked Nidalee and all you do is farm in the jungle!”

“It’s easier to have Nidalee farm in the jungle. What else should I do?” Old K was giggling.

Chapter 189 Part 1

Commentator D: [ Let’s think about it, which mid champions would G4 ban this round-- --Hahaha, that’s right, I’m focusing on ZGDX’s mid after they defeated two LCK teams both centered around their mids.]

Commentator F: [You can say it out straight that you’re focusing on the girl.] Commentator D: [So? Or should I focus on you?]

Commentator G: [We can see that ZGDX’s first ban is Aurelion Sol. It’s clear that they banned him because G4’s pretty good with him and ZGDX isn’t. It’s like: I can’t play him, so I won’t take him, but I won’t let you have him either!]

Commentator G: [It’s the finals already. Can you two comment nicely?]

Commentator G: [Get to the point.]

The ban & pick phase went on smoothly. First, ZGDX banned Aurelion Sol, which was the favorite of G4’s mid Gogone. His Aurelion Sol had performed quite well during the group matches and quarter-finals. He dominated the match against YQCB’s Ai Jia with Aurelion Sol and even now, when Ai Jia played ranked matches he would insist on banning Aurelion Sol, causing his teammates to all throw question marks into the chat……

To counter ZGDX’s ban, G4 banned Leblanc and Twisted Fate. Tong Yao commented on the ban: “I knew it would happen. But, what about my championship skin if I can’t use Leblanc during the finals? (The team that wins the yearly championship will receive the champion skin with the team logo on it which is specifically prepared by Riot Games. But the requested champion skin has to be a champion being used in the finals.) After we reach 2 : 0, let’s send a representative to tell the other side to let me have Leblanc for the third round so I can have the skin.”

Tong Yao: “Captain, it’ll be you.”

Lu Sicheng: “That’s stupid. I won’t do a thing asking for a whacking-- --I don’t want to be captain anymore. Whoever does, take it over.”

Tong Yao: “You’re also my fiance.”

Lu Sicheng: “Is it too late to break off the engagement?”

Tong Yao: “It’s too late.”

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Little Fatty: “They seem to have changed the rules now; even the champions used in group matches will do-- --Besides, everyone knows that Twisted Fate and Leblanc are the twin stars of our team. What can we do if we can’t get them?”

Old K: “Right, right, it's an unreasonable rule-- --Except for someone like the blue collar Old Cat who takes whichever champion when needed, everyone else has their own signature champion. The other side definitely won’t let you have it!”

Old Cat got irritated: “Go to hell, if it wasn’t for me carrying you all against TAT, would you have the opportunity to talk nonsense here?”

As he finished, the five players starting from Lu Sicheng all got a smack on the head with a file folder. Ming god’s voice could be clearly heard in the team voice channel: “What’s wrong with all you guys? Even if G4 is a Euro-American noob team, they are still the little giant that sent two LPL teams back home in the quarter-finals and semifinals. You haven’t even started playing the match yet and you’re already talking about champion skins! What if you lose the match-- --”

Tong Yao: “Aiyo!”

Little Fatty: “Aiyo!”

Old K: “Aiyo!”

Old Cat: “Aiyo!”

Lu Sicheng: “Data Analyst, can you speak nicely? I suggest we drive him off the stage and we’ll do ban & pick ourselves.”

Ming god: “......The other side banned Kalista, very well, skin? There’s none. Old K, your Nidalee is available. Congratulations.”

Old K: “Take Nidalee, take Nidalee. Grab her for me, Cat god.”

Old Cat took Old K’s favorite Nidalee. Then the other side took Orianna for their mid and Alistar for their support. Orianna’s ultimate could pull champions towards her ball and Alistar’s Q, W abilities could knock up and push enemies respectively; they were both champions geared for team fights with strong teammate saving abilities……

ZGDX chose Gnar for top and Braum for support, sticking to their usual lineup. At least they wouldn’t be helpless when facing the other side’s line up. Tong Yao in the end locked down Syndra and Lu Sicheng took Sivir…… The ban & pick phase thus concluded. Everyone hurriedly adjusted their runes and masteries. The end results of the ban & pick were as follows-- --

G4 bans: Leblanc, Twisted Fate, Kalista.

ZGDX bans: Aurelion Sol, Ryze, Ekko.

G4 picks: Rumble, Kindred, Orianna, Ezreal, Alistar.

ZGDX picks: Gnar, Nidalee, Syndra, Sivir, Braum.

Chapter 188 Part 3

[AD group]

G4, Riot911: Chessman? I don’t take him seriously. I’m the person who almost killed Pope all by myself, if it wasn’t for the fact that I got too excited and clicked the wrong ability……

ZGDX, Chessman: Oh, you clicked the wrong button many years ago when you clicked “install” on League of Legends.

……

Tong Yao: “Compared to all of you, now feel that I’m a little dumb-- --You’ve all colluded to be so unfriendly, why didn’t any of you discuss this beforehand with me?”

Lu Sicheng: “This sort of thing all depends on one’s own awareness and IQ. No one would be yelling another man’s name and hooraying on a world stage in front of her own fiance. Not even Wu Zetian[1] dared to do so.”

Tong Yao: “......”

Tong Yao: “Let’s change the subject. What should I get for the first round? I have a feeling that they wouldn’t let me have Twisted Fate and Leblanc again.”

Lu Sicheng: “Take Nasus, he suits you.”[2]

Tong Yao: “Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”

Lu Sicheng: “I want to hit someone.”

Tong Yao: “......”

The other teammates watched them snapping at each other back and forth in silence. No one dared to talk or even breathe too hard. They were afraid that the two would notice them and get them involved……

As the two were bickering, the referee came over to tell them to put on their headphones to get ready for the ban & pick phase. The other teammates breathed out a sigh of relief-- --

In the team voice channel, Ming god became quite mean, like a changed person once it was ban & pick time, and brought everyone under control. As long as Ming god was there, he could definitely make Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng keep their mouths shut……

Tong Yao put on the headphones following the referee’s instruction-- --

All the noise was blocked out.

She reached over to put her hand on the mouse and could hardly keep her blood from broiling.

When she clicked open the game, logged onto the server specifically for the competition, and entered her game id, she felt like she was in a dream, all of this didn’t seem to be real for her-- --

The summer of that year, when she first started playing League of Legends, she would feed the enemy while yelling and shouting. She remembered the anger she felt when she was ridiculed by her own teammates, that she was even worse than the enemy’s siege minion; the joy she felt when she obtained her first penta-kill. At the time, she had dreamed of playing on the professional stage, but at the same time, being a professional player seemed to be such a far away dream……

She could only look up at it.

Until today, she, as a professional player-- --representing the region, representing the country, had come to the top of the world to face the final duel.

[1]: Wu Zetian was the only official empress in Chinese history during the Tang Dynasty.

[2]: In Chinese, people call Nasus 狗头 (gǒutóu) which literally means “dog head.” As you’ve probably seen, many Chinese insults involve dogs.

Chapter 188 Part 2

On the big screen, the promotional video of this year’s S series world competition finals started to play. Since the finals was between two teams from LPL and LCS, the video had been remixed with scenes of the two teams together in a mashup-- --

The very last scene showed Tong Yao looking up in darkness with a beam of sunlight on her, then the same sunlight shone through layers of fog where G4’s mid walked out of the fog, waving his hand to disperse all the fog!

With a loud bang, the logo of the developer of League of Legends, Riot Games, displayed at the center of the screen. The screen became dark and the audience started howling passionately……

The familiar background music could be heard now and the moment where everyone was looking forward to had arrived-- --

The trash talk section before the game.

[TOP group]

G4, Abb: I’ll use my ability to prove who’s the first top. Without any doubt, I’ll crush him-- --Just like how we crushed their two brotherly teams.

ZGDX, Cat: To be honest, I think, at this point, it’s obvious who’s the first top…… Is there any top champion that I, Old Cat, doesn’t know how to play?

There’s none.

Being a blue collar is just one of my disguises. There's an old Chinese saying which could be used in reverse-- --A fine interior beneath a rotten exterior…...You know what that means? A dog that doesn’t bark, bites. The dogs that bark all the time are all Chihuahuas.

……

[JUG group]

G4, Tom: It would be like a deer cub meeting a lion for K to meet me, there’s no chance for him to win at all-- --I know about LPL’s junglers; they get cold feet whenever there’s a direct confrontation.

A region that likes to pick a fight? What a joke.

ZGDX, K: So noisy, the LPL will laugh at you. Don’t look down, your “nooby” hat will fall.

……

On the stage, Tong Yao looked at the top and jungler of her team with the headphones in her hand: “You two really learned from Little Fatty. Have you used all that time on the airplane to think about how to trash talk?”

Old Cat: “I just improvised. I’m a cultured person after all.”

Little Fatty: “Don’t believe him. He wrote a lot of drafts and even let the staff vote on those.”

Tong Yao: “......”

[MID group]

ZGDX, Smiling (raising her hands high up): There’s no trash talk. Hooray for the king, hooray for Gao Xuecheng, hooray for the LPL!

G4, Gogone (smiling sweetly): The other side’s mid is really cute.

……

Lu Sicheng: “Are you two idiots?”

Little Fatty: “Can’t you two at least find something decent to say? The flame started by Old Cat and Old K has been extinguished by you two with your hoorays for friendship?”

Old K: “Really stupid.”

Old Cat: “It’s like a cult. Has Gao Xuecheng paid you for the promotion? You’ve been promoting him from the beginning of the world competition all the way till the end……”

[SUP group]

G4, Bigleg: I’ve heard that the other side’s support is really good at talking trash. I would like to hear him……

ZGDX, Pang: I’ve seen G4’s play. The map awareness and the ward placing of the other side’s support are, tsk, tsk, even worse than that Columbus who claimed that he arrived in India while standing in America.

G4, Bigleg: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I give up. He’s really good at trash talk!

Tong Yao: “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, he gave up, hahahahahahahahahaha!”

Lu Sicheng: “The breaking up of international friendship begins when Little Fatty starts talking.”

Chapter 188 Part 1

From Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco to Chicago Theatre in Chicago to Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Since it all began on September 30, it had been a month-- --

Along the way, there was happiness and disappointment, laughter and tears…… There was a group of people who cheered and hugged each other under the spotlight before marching to the next battlefield with high spirits. There was also another group of people who stood in the corner watching the cheering people with envy before turning to walk away dejectedly while at the same time swearing to the world stage with tight fists: Next year, we’ll be back.

On October 30, the day a lot of people were looking forward to finally arrived-- --

The finals of the 2016 League of Legends world competition would be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on the west coast of the US on that day. All the players would gather there to witness the top team of this year lift up the championship cup of everyone’s dream!

On the day, the arena was filled with people. Four hours before the event was scheduled to start, there were already people lining up getting ready to go in-- --Everyone was smiling, discussing their favorite team and holding support placards with the logo of their favorite team on them. As they waited to get in, they spoke about the teams and the players they like to each other……

Fans from all over the world gathered here, just like they’ve been gathered at Summoner's Rift in the game-- --

They might come from different countries, speak different languages, and have different skin colors and hair colors……

But at this moment when they talked about the teams they supported, the pride shining in their eyes were exactly the same!

[(English) I never thought that G4 would advance to this point. I mean, we’ve been away from the finals for too long-- --In the beginning, no one even had any faith in the team but they bravely made it to today, even defeating two LPL teams back to back!]

One of the fans waiting outside was excited to be interviewed. He had a G4 tattoo sticker on his face-- --

He walked back towards his friends after the interview while many others gathered around the reporter who was interviewing the people waiting to get in……

[(German) No one should ever look down on European teams anymore! We’re very strong, hahahahahahahahahaha, really. How long has it been since we saw a finals without LCK? I hope today’s best of 5 can be played to its fullest, no matter the result. At least I can enjoy it for longer! G4! Yay!]

……

[(Chinese) I’m studying in Los Angeles-- --Now I’m super glad that I’ve made the decision to come to LA for college two years ago! LPL! LPL! LPL! After a few years, we’re back! ZGDX, go for it!]

……

[(English) To be honest, I’m supporting ZGDX. They’re the only team which has a girl playing. The first time I watched Smiling sit on the stage, I was mesmerized by her-- --How can there be such a cute girl who can play the game so well, the kind who could take you all the way to Challenger……]

……

[(Chinese) The regret Weixiao had at S2 can hopefully be made up at this world competition stage by the one who carries the id with the same meaning-- --Those of you who know about it would know what I’m talking about. ZGDX, go for it!]

At dusk, the audience was finally in their seats-- --The huge arena was densely packed and glow sticks and fluorescent boards flashed like fireflies glowing in the darkness……

Those who didn’t get the infield tickets were sitting quite far away from the stage. It was so far away that the players on stage probably couldn’t even clearly see the support items in their hands…… But when the players entered the arena one after another and waved at the audience, they still raised up their support boards, ipads and cell phones and excitedly waved and screamed!

Amidst the excitement, all three commentators were getting into their own seats-- --

Commentato D: [Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome back to our 2016 League of Legends professional leagues world competitions finals! I’m your host D!]

Commentator F: [I’m F.]

Commentator G: [I’m G…… Uh, uh, uh, we can see these two next to me, hahahahaha, looking quite happy. I have to say that it looks like they had quite a fun time in the past month travelling all around the US for free?]

The audience burst into laughter.

Chapter 187 Part 3

There was a sudden influx of bullet comments on Jian Yang’s stream-- --

[66666666666666]

[I feel you, buddy.]

[It hurts.]

[....................................You better not laugh. Your laugh makes me hurt for you, brother.]

[How does it feel when your ex-girlfriend plays better games than you @Yang god. When you started playing professionally, you would never have thought that one day you’re going to sit at base all by yourself commentating the S series semi-finals for your ex-girlfriend……]

Jian Yang probably saw that last comment. He started out by saying [congratulations to ZGDX, congratulations to LPL], then after being silent for a few seconds, he continued: [Indeed, I’ve never thought about it-- --Me and her, aiya, it was that summer vacation when I taught her how to play League of Legends. We played ranked matches together for that whole summer, she was mid and I, jungler…… That’s right, she played mid from the very beginning. With me, a Challenger on the top server of the country playing with her, she would crush the other side no matter which lane she was at.]

Tong Yao: “......”

Jian Yang’s voice was calm, with a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips-- --

It wasn’t a forced smile either.

It looked like Tong Yao wasn’t the only one who had finally grown up after such a long time.

[After that summer vacation was over, I received the invitation from CK to play professionally-- --I was way too excited and didn’t think too much about other things…… I still remember when the vacation was almost over, she came to find me and asked whether I had finished my summer assignments.] As if he had recalled something, Jian Yang’s smile became wilder. He turned off the match video and leaned back to the chair: [I said I didn’t do the summer assignments because I’m going to play for a professional team…… At the time, she looked at me as if I was nuts. She looked so confused, hahahahahahahahahaha…… Nothing, there’s nothing that I can’t talk about-- --It’s in the past anyway. Now we are all professional players. To tell the truth, I’m actually quite proud. If it wasn't for me, there wouldn’t be a world first mid, Smiling or the LPL Twisted Fate double stars.]

Bullet comments were filled with “It hurts” “Damn, I’m going to cry” “Shit, how can you be this miserable. I can’t stand a story like this’...... Jian Yang was speechless but still continued with a smile-- --

[Seeing her shine on the international stage, I’m also quite happy for her. Really, the LPL really needs a world championship.] Jian Yang lightly said: [Though one year ago, I would never have imagined that it would be Tong Yao who would make the LPL’s dream come true-- --]

Jian Yang: [Do I regret teaching her League of Legends?]

Jian Yang: [I certainly don’t regret it.]

Jian Yang: [Though it’s Cheng Ge who benefits from it, it’s Cheng Ge after all…… If I were a woman, I'd like him too. There’s nothing wrong with it-- --Really, really, best wishes to them. Though I can be sarcastic for a while, that’s for sure. It’s like having the disciple master the trade and then runs the master out of business. The disciple is marching towards the world championship while the master got eliminated at the quarter-finals, damn it…… But it’s still a must to send over my best wishes!]

In the end, Jian Yang waved goodbye with a smile to the viewers before turning off the camera. 

The video of the stream ended. Lu Sicheng took a look at the heading of the video, [The most heart piercing commentary in the history of LPL]......

Lu Sicheng: “......”

Tong Yao was still leaning against him without moving. Lu Sicheng patted her shoulder and looked down at her. Her eyes were slightly reddish…… He used his rough thumb to press down the corner of her eye: “Deeply moved?’

“I’m moved.” Tong Yao’s voice was a little hoarse: “It’s the kind of feeling that your son has grown up all of a sudden.”

“..........................” The hand resting on the corner of her eye stopped moving. Then Lu Sicheng started laughing and held her in his arms.

“What are you laughing at?” Tong Yao looked up at him.

“I’m hurting for Yang god. His emotional talk turned him into a son.”

“......”

Tong Yao rolled her eyes. Lu Sicheng patted her head: “Play well at the finals, avenge CK and YQCB.”

Tong Yao nodded and used both her hands to circle around Lu Sicheng’s waist. She buried her face in his chest to take a deep breath, it was a familiar scent-- --

At this moment, she felt a calmness she had never felt before. She was filled with zeal, full of the yearning and determination for winning the upcoming finals.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 187 Part 2

Tong Yao blinked and reached over to pull off Lu Sicheng’s earphones. Lu Sicheng hissed and pushed Tong Yao’s head against his chest. Tong Yao could hear her ex-boyfriend’s voice in the earphones-- --

Jian Yang: [Honestly speaking, Tong Yao was positioned too far ahead. She got killed without causing any damage to the enemy, a real waste of all the kills and supports she got earlier. She’s actually sending a heart-warming gift to TAT……]

Tong Yao abruptly pulled her head up: “What did he say? !”

Lu Sicheng patted her head: “Weren’t you standing too far ahead?”

Tong Yao: “He said I was sending a heart-warming gift to TAT!”

Lu Sicheng sneered: “Wasn’t it true that you and Little Fatty had sent a heart-warming gift to TAT?”

Little Fatty: “You two just fight amongst yourselves, don’t involve an innocent bystander…… I was Braum, if I didn’t stand in front of you guys to protect you, then should I stand behind the AD and run away after casting a R?”

Lu Sicheng lazily gave Little Fatty a glance before trying to retrieve his earphones from Tong Yao. Tong Yao stretched her arm out so Lu Sicheng couldn’t get them-- --But her arm wasn’t as long as Lu Sicheng’s. The two struggled for a while, then both fell down in the last row seat. Lu Sicheng, with one hand holding down Tong Yao’s waist, said: “Give me the earphones.”

His voice was low and his breath was right next to Tong Yao’s lips…… Tong Yao looked up and gave him a kiss on his slightly coolish lips while stuffing the earphones into her own pocket: “No.”

Lu Sicheng fixed his eyes on her for a while, then used a serious tone of voice to say: “This is a public place, what are you doing?”

Tong Yao used her chin to point at the cell phone in Lu Sicheng’s other hand: “Watch together?”

Lu Sicheng sat up and the hand on Tong Yao’s waist also pulled her upright-- --The two of them were back to their original position with Tong Yao leaning against Lu Sicheng’s body. Little Fatty couldn’t stop himself from teasing: “It’s 30 some degrees outside now. Are you two so cold that you have to huddle so tightly?”

Lu Sicheng answered without even looking up: “You can go huddle with Lu Yue?”

Lu Yue was looking down at his cell phone playing a game. He also answered without looking up: “No way.”

As they were bantering back and forth, Tong Yao adjusted Lu Sicheng’s arm and started to watch Jian Yang’s commentary together with Lu Sicheng. They were watching it as their review of the round that had just finished-- -- A professional player’s commentary was more specialized than the normal onsite commentators. Usually, the commentators could at most point out who did what at a team fight or what a player would do in the next few minutes……

When a professional player commented on a match, they had a very strong map awareness-- --It was just like what Tong Yao had done when she was sitting in the audience watching the spring season competition back home. She could predict what the game would be like in the next 20 minutes or even the whole game just by seeing the placement of a ward.

Jian Yang was a jungler and had an even better sense about the whole map than other positions-- --As such, while they were watching the video, Jian Yang’s comments would elicit a discussion between Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng from time to time……

They watched the video without much of an issue till the last team fight. It was a team fight that had been rated by all fans as the top three team fights of year for best teamwork even though this year’s world competition wasn’t over yet-- --

When Tong Yao’s Twisted Fate threw his red card and made it through a narrow gap between TAT’s front line players, accurately hitting TAT’s AD and killing him, Jian Yang cried out loud “nice”, then added: “That red card was truly critical. It could fly past all the other players and hit the AD; either Tong Yao’s ability to predict her enemies has reached perfection or she’s in the lucky goddess’ favor, in short, a stroke of luck.]

Lu Sicheng chuckled when he heard Jian Yang. Tong Yao patted the screen of the cell phone: “Shit, how difficult is it to admit that I’m strong?”

Then the video was showing Lu Sicheng’s Twitch back away with a sliver of health and Tong Yao got a double kill-- --The cheers from the audience could be heard in the video. Tong Yao moved her lips about to say something when she heard Jian Yang say: [This Twisted Fate is really strong…… Tomorrow, I’ll force our mid to practice Twisted Fate-- --]

In the video, ZGDX pushed forward to TAT’s base.

The moment TAT’s base exploded, the cameraman gave ZGDX’s five players a shot. It caught the moment when Tong Yao threw down headphones and jumped into Lu Sicheng’s arms…… The camera clearly captured the smile on her face and the moment when she looked up at Lu Sicheng with a smiling face. Her black pupils shone like stars under the stage lights……

Jian Yang paused for a moment, then he also started laughing happily with them.

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 187 Part 1

Last year, the three teams from LPL were eliminated during the group match and quarter-finals of the world competition. Finally this year, ZGDX had brought respect back to the LPL-- --On October 30, they would go against G4 at the finals in Los Angeles!

At the moment, before the finals, all the media platforms back home were celebrating the event like an early New Year celebration!

[How many years? LPL is once again in the S6 finals-- --Though people have been saying it over and over, let me say it again, this is the most hopeful year for the LPL!]

[Hahahahahahahahahahaha, against G4 at the finals, hard to believe that this seems to be the first time ever since the beginning of S series that not even a single LCK team made it past the semi-finals? Just for this reason alone, I’ll be a fan of ZGDX for life! ! !]

[It’s fair to say that this is the toughest way to earn a place in the finals, defeating OP first, then TAT. I feel like I’ve already watched two final matches……]

[To be honest, I also cried when I saw Tong Yao rushed into Lu Sicheng’s arms after destroying the base-- --Part of the reason was because I was so excited. The other part was that she, at 19 years old, is standing at the top of the world fighting for the honor of being world champions while still remembering to show PDA with her teammate, yet me, at 19 years old, could only quietly watch their PDA in front of an iPad.]

[.....................................Will anyone share some of the comments on the Korean side? I would like to see how they feel right now hhhhhhh!]

[I was in the audience at the time. It was a moment which made your blood boil. At the end when they pushed the base, we all stood up-- --And cried from excitement. Now I’m preparing with my friends to buy a super sized national flag. To hell with the whole competition for just professional leagues that don’t represent the country. This is an all Chinese team! !  ! !]

……

On their way back to the hotel, Tong Yao was happily reading all the joyful comments on Tieba-- --Ever since there was a world competition, the LPL always fell short of the championship like they were under a curse. It has been 6 years, 6 whole years, in which they weren’t able to take off the sticker of being “forever the second best”......

LPL desperately needed a S series championship to prove themselves!

The final would be against a non-LCK team, G4-- --To be honest, ZGDX had taken down the two strongest teams from LCK, it seemed that ZGDX’s march towards the championship was unstoppable!

“The colors of ZGDX are blue and white. Aiya, a blue and white cape of Leblanc skin would definitely look good. Hahahahaha, very well, we’ll choose our championship skin as Leblanc……” At the very last row of the bus, Tong Yao leaned against Lu Sicheng-- --Lu Sicheng used one hand to hug her and the other hand to hold his cell phone. He was watching the replay of the just finished match with earphones in his ears……

Lu Sicheng had a clear happy expression on his face in just the moment when they destroyed TAT’s base. Tong Yao also knew about it since when he caught her at the moment she jumped into his arms, his forceful arms were around her waist so tightly that it almost broke her waist……

Then, however, he quickly returned to being emotionless again.

On the way back to the hotel, everyone on the team was very excited except Lu Sicheng who was sitting there watching the video no matter how Tong Yao tried teasing him-- --In the beginning, Tong Yao was also busy checking Tieba to see how the fans praised her and didn’t have the time to pay attention to him. She didn’t bother to check what Lu Sicheng was looking at with a serious look……

Then, Tong Yao came across something on Tieba-- --

[Were you all watching the official broadcast of the match? Then you guys truly have missed a real battle. Just now, Yang god was on stream commenting on the match step by step…… Is there anything in the world which is more exciting than commenting on the match of your ex-girlfriend? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, don’t know if anyone recorded it! !  !]

Tong Yao: “......”

The smile on her face instantly froze. Tong Yao abruptly sat up straight and as if she had thought about something, she reached over to see the cell phone in Lu Sicheng’s hand-- --Indeed, she saw in the video, in the lower right corner, there was a small window with a person sitting there still wearing CK’s team uniform.

Tong Yao: “...............................................................................”

Lu Sicheng was watching the video of Jian Yang’s stream of their very last round of the match.

The video happened to be at the 20th minute of the game. It was the moment when ZGDX was under attack near Baron, a critical team fight for the team…… Tong Yao remembered that she was a little ahead of her team and had died together with Braum without having much of a chance to put up a fight-- --

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 186 Part 4

During a fight over the elemental drake, TAT’s Maokai initiated the team fight by rooting Tong Yao who had moved a little further ahead of her team. TAT’s Lucian used his ultimate to hurt ZGDX’s carry. Lu Sicheng had no choice but to retreat and look for another chance. At the same time, ZGDX’s Gnar went up to pin Lucian against the wall!

Zilean used R to help Lucian at this critical moment. Thanks to Zilean, Lucian turned around to attack and kill Twisted Fate and Braum. Then he turned his fire on Twitch-- --

Kindred used her ultimate Lamb’s Respite underneath Twitch who had only a sliver of health left. Then Twitch used his ultimate to attack TAT’s Zilean and Lucian, both still healthy. The attack weakened both enemies and the moment when Lamb’s Respite was about to end, Twitch killed Lucian but also died!

This was a team fight that lasted a whole 30 seconds!

At the end of the team fight, ZGDX had only a weak Kindred and a small Gnar left. They had to fall back and TAT’s jungler and top took the inferno drake with ease!

-- --When thinking back at this round, Tong Yao felt this was the most difficult battle the team had fought since the beginning of the world competition.

During team fights, both sides had tens of thousands of life saving skills waiting to be used. Especially in the late game, all the carries had a Guardian Angel and everyone became a nine-life cat demon…… A team fight could extend from one’s own base all the way to the other side’s base-- --

Baron?

Both teams were afraid that the other team would get it first therefore they weren’t going to start a fight for Baron when there was no certainty that they would win.

As the saying goes, Baron could destroy one’s whole life.

Neither team could afford the mistake of losing Baron and neither of the junglers was willing to take the blame for starting the fight for Baron. There was a period of ten minutes where both teams fought fiercely against each other around Baron’s arena yet no one moved ahead to touch Baron even once……

Old K: “Really, if they don’t want to fight Baron, why do they keep circling around Baron. Who are they trying to scare, damn!”

Lu Sicheng: “Look who’s talking now. Three minutes ago, who’s the one who mumbled ‘not fighting Baron, don’t have smite, I won’t take the blame’?”

Tong Yao took a look at the time. The round had lasted 60 minutes now. Both sides basically all had finished crafting their six items, therefore it wasn’t that important anymore whether they killed Baron or Elder Dragon or not……

A team fight at this time would decide whether they would go to the finals or have to buy tickets to go back home.

At 68th minute, the last team fight finally happened-- --

The two teams met at mid lane.

When she clicked w to pick a card, Tong Yao almost could hear her own heartbeat. Her soul seemed to have been sucked into the computer. When she saw her red card fly out, she accurately aimed at the other side’s AD through the crowd and dealt a serious blow to the enemy AD.

At the same time, Old Cat’s Gnar transformed and flew into the crowd with his palm to stun the other side’s bot, mid and jungler.

Lu Sicheng’s Twitch stealthed and snuck into the crowd of enemies, then cast his ultimate which killed Lucian with three shots while Zilean was still stunned-- --

Tong Yao: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Little Fatty: “Aw aw aw aw aw aw aw aw!”

Old Cat: “He’s dead, he’s dead, the AD is dead!”

Old K kept quiet and flashed into the crowd. The moment when Lu Sicheng killed the other AD and was about to die himself, Old K cast Lamb’s Respite to save Lu Sicheng. Little Fatty also moved forward to shield Lu Sicheng so he could retreat-- --

ZGDX regrouped.

Then they continued with their last deadly blow to TAT, which was now missing their AD-- --

ZGDX destroyed TAT’s base inhibitor and nexus!

As Tong Yao was striking at TAT’s base again and again, she could feel her eyes were becoming moist and at the same time, she seemed to hear numerous flying angels surrounding behind her head blowing trumpets!

The last deciding battle between LPL and LCK of 2016!

When TAT’s blue crystal exploded, Tong Yao pulled off her headphones and directly jumped into Lu Sicheng’s arms.

Little Fatty stood up to embrace Old K and held Old K’s face to give him a kiss on his face to show his respect for that perfect ultimate in the end.

Old Cat and Old K all had wide smiles on their faces. Old K, despite being hugged by Little Fatty, turned to fist bump Old Cat……

The people in the audience who were waving supporting boards for LPL all stood up. They cheered, jumped up and down, and applauded loudly to congratulate their team’s arrival under the spotlight-- --

As ZGDX’s five players stood on the stage, Lu Yue also ran up from backstage to join them. All six of them stood in a row, bowed to the audience, and waved their hands at the audience……

Tonight, after three years, LPL finally stepped up onto the stage once again to the finals of a S series world competition. And this time……

They would never leave behind any regrets!

Chapter 186 Part 3

The game started and both sides went to their lanes. Lu Sicheng’s Twitch, relying on the advantage Braum enjoyed at level 1, shot at the enemy Lucian as he happened to walk to the second bush at bot. Lucian lost two thirds of his health and was forced to drink two health potions as he ran away……

Commentator D: [As we can see, Chessman’s still quite fierce with Twitch, showing his determination to win this round-- --If it wasn’t for the fact that the minion wave just pushed up, I’d almost believe that a small-scale team fight at level one would’ve produced first blood!]

Amidst the commentator’s enthusiastic conversation, Lu Sicheng took a look at the opposing bot’s creep score. Because the other side had been forced to retreat out of the range of minions, he had missed two minions. Lu Sicheng pinged: “I’ll reach level three ahead of him. Old K, come down here.”

Lu Sicheng was talking like he was sure that he wouldn’t miss any of the incoming minions and reach level three before the other side. Old K agreed but went to mid to help Tong Yao gank Li Mintai first before Lu reached level three-- --

Though Old K and Tong Yao weren’t able to kill Li Mintai, their attempt put Li Mintai under too much pressure that he had to retreat back under the turret.

Seeing that Tong Yao was doing alright at mid, Old K turned to bot and began constantly ganking the other side. The moment Lu Sicheng reached level three, Old K’s Kindred jumped out of the bush and, before Tahm had the chance to swallow up Lucian, began focus his attacks on Tahm-- --

That move was something TAT hadn’t expected! 

Tahm had already used exhaust on Lu Sicheng earlier and now he even forgot to drink a health potion. After his shield was destroyed after three shots, Tahm could only shield his team’s AD with his own body and let the AD flash away after using both summoner’s skills!

Lu Sicheng took first blood! 

Before the teammates called out in celebration, Tong Yao shouted: “Zilean doesn’t seem like he’s going back, he’s going to top!”

Old Cat: “Damn, you shouting almost scared me to death! !”

While ZGDX’s mid and top were shouting back and forth, TAT indeed became aggressive at top lane! TAT’s mid and jungler came to top to get ahold of Gnar and killed Gnar under the turret. When they got the kill, a wave of minions happened to arrive……

At the moment, at ZGDX’s top outer turret, there were three enemy players while at TAT’s bot outer turret, there were only Lu Sicheng and Old K. The minion wave at bot arrived first. But the speed of two people attacking the turret was much slower than three people. Little Fatty was furious at the situation: “Fuck, I’ve just come back and they start doing that!”

Tong Yao, seeing the minion wave hadn’t arrived yet, immediately teleported to bot. The moment she landed, she joined her other two teammates to bring down the turret-- --

The two sides were fighting to get the first turret of the game!

During the fight, Tong Yao switched the screen to check on mid lane and discovered that her own minion wave was moving in. Tong Yao: “My minions!”

Old K: “Alright, alright, I’ll go, I’ll go……”

Since Lu Sicheng had started the fight earlier than the enemy team and after Tong Yao joined, they began to destroy the turret faster, in the end they took down the turret a few seconds ahead of TAT and earned the first turret of the round!

Old K retreated before the end so Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng could take the credit for destroying the first turret so the money could make up for the loss in missed minions-- --After he left, he saw all the TAT players were busy with the turret fight and didn’t have the time to notice him. He turned around to take down the first elemental drake……

After destroying the turret, Tong Yao quickly returned to mid lane and continued to develop against Li Mintai-- --At the moment, Li Mintai and Tong Yao had both missed a wave of minions. However, since Tong Yao shared half of the gold reward from destroying the first turret of the game, she was doing better than the money Li Mintai earned from an assist at top earlier. Tong Yao had a little advantage over Li Mintai……

At 6 minutes 30 seconds into the game, Tong Yao reached level 6 which was a little later than in a usual game. Tong Yao’s Twisted Fate used his ultimate to teleport to bot. The moment she landed, she used W, threw a yellow card to stun the other side’s support, then a basic attack and Q. Lu Sicheng teamed up with her against the enemy AD who had temporarily lost her protection. Then Little Fatty cast exhaust and easily killed the enemy AD!

Bot instantly gained advantage over the other side!

Twitch was in the lead in kills and creep score, making him a deadly threat to even the enemy’s best killer!

Afterwards, ZGDX’s mid and AD both left their lanes and wandered around, the team began a 1-3-1 split push. Twitch hid in the bushes of the jungle, waiting for an opportunity to the rush tower behind the enemy's back. Twisted Fate wandered around the map leading the enemy on a wild goose chase……

By the 20th minute, ZGDX had already taken down four of the enemy's turrets outside their base, and were leading with 3 kills and 3000 gold!

Commentator D: [Now that Baron has just revived. We’re looking forward to seeing what choice ZGDX will make…… If a team doesn’t fall apart in the early game, then obviously the game has just begun!]

Right after he finished speaking, TAT used their actions to prove what he meant by “the game has just begun”!

Chapter 186 Part 2

Lu Sicheng sat down on his own seat, looking somewhat absent-mindedly while playing with his headphones…… Tong Yao sat down next to him and pulled on his sleeve, extending her head closer: “What were you and the strategist of our enemy talking so happily about?”

“Nothing much. He said I should let Li Mintai have Leblanc one more time for the sake of being their old teammate.”

“......”

Tong Yao tightened the grip on Lu Sicheng’s sleeve all of a sudden: Though Li Mintai didn’t want to see her playing Leblanc, she truly wished to see him playing Leblanc.

“I said no. Just like what I’ve said back in the break room, if someone dares to leave Leblanc as a choice, I’ll hang them with the mouse cable on stage.”

“......”

While they were talking, all the players were at their seats and the ban & pick phase started…… Since this was a life or death round, no one dared to leave Leblanc unbanned. Though TAT had asked for Leblanc before, the first ban they chose was actually Leblanc-- --

The commentators were in high spirits.

Commentator D: [Uh oh! TAT’s first ban is Leblanc. Does that mean they’ve admitted that Smiling's Leblanc is better?”

Commentator F: [We’ve seen Leblanc in two rounds today-- --However it’s hard to tell which one of the two players is better because they both played brilliantly! Their play styles are different. Smiling’s Leblanc is more of a team player, initiating team fights at the precise moment and killing the enemy’s carriers while Thei’s Leblanc is more for showing his skills in lane……]

Commentator D: [Promise me we’ll have another round of this at the all-star game. Let them use Leblanc to compete during the solo game!]

In the ZGDX voice channel, all the teammates were quite happy as well.

Tong Yao: “They banned Leblanc first! They chickened out!”

Lu Sicheng: “Look how excited you are.”

Tong Yao: “I’m the world’s first Leblanc!”

Little Fatty: “Very well, spiritual victory.”

Old Cat: “Very optimistic.’

Old K: “If you ask me, she’s shell-shocked from playing Fizz in the last round. She almost got killed several times…… I’ve never been so needed by Smiling in any of our matches. I just went to get blue buff, the next second she was calling me: Jungler, jungler, where the hell is the jungler!”

Everyone: “Hehehe.”

TAT banned two more champions, Kalista and Rumble. Tong Yao tapped once on her mouse: “Don’t you all ridicule me or I’ll…… Hey, Twisted Fate is available. Get me Twisted Fate. I’m going to fly off my seat.”

Even without her asking for it, everyone knew that taking Twisted Fate was a must. Old Cat locked Twisted Fate for Tong Yao. The other side then locked Zilean and Tahm-- --To prevent the other side from using the combination of Zilean + Tahm + Kindred again, Old K had no choice but to take Kindred for himself even though Nidalee was still available……

TAT then took Maokai for their top and Tong Yao took Gnar for Old Cat.

The final line up of both teams were -- --

TAT: Maokai, Nidalee, Zilean, Lucian, Tahm.

ZGDX: Gnar, Kindred, Twisted Fate, Twitch, Braum.

Chapter 186 Part 1 

The life and death round was about to begin.

Usually, when a team won the first two rounds then lost the next two rounds back to back, the team, ZGDX, would feel much more pressure than the other team, TAT……

Yet, Lu Sicheng, as captain of ZGDX, didn’t say anything during the break.

He, instead, had a short chat before going on stage with TAT’s supervisor Jroom who was his old acquaintance as well-- --Jroom was a good judge of talent; he was the one who brought Lu Sicheng from LPL to LCK against almost everyone’s objection. Lu Sicheng, thus, became the one and only foreign player in LCK’s history……

Korea has always been one of the leading countries in esports. There were only Korean players playing for other countries. Lu Sicheng was the first one who went to Korea to play-- --Fortunately, through his own skills, he made those who had objected in the beginning shut their mouths in the end.

Later on, Lu Sicheng left LCK to go back to the LPL at the peak of his career in Korea before LCK was able to win a world championship.

Jroom had taken a lot of heat about Lu Sicheng’s departure. People said that there was something wrong with Jroom’s head. He had used the top Korean esports resources to foster a world class top AD, then let him return to where he was from……

-- --Jroom knew a lot of people were pointing fingers at him but he chose to ignore it. After TAT took the championship at S5 under his leadership, TAT was able to maintain their superiority in the whole till S6 despite losing Pope!

People said Jroom was the best League of Legends coach among all the professional teams in the world. He was different from Xiao Rui who only knew how to order take out for his team players.

Before they went on stage, Jroom was joking with Lu Sicheng-- --

Jroom: “It can’t be that you were going easy on us because we were your old team.”

“No way.” Lu Sicheng leaned against the doorway to the stage: “On the contrary, because I know that Supervisor Park’s very familiar with the way I play, I have to be extra careful to avoid all the habits I developed while at TAT……”

“Kid, what you said really hurts my feelings-- --You were part of LCK, remember? It was me who pulled up a stool to sit behind you to make sure you practiced farming, remember? And Korean…… I still remembered how you learned Korean sentence by sentence after me-- --Now, you can speak it so fluently.”

“Ge, what are you trying to say after all?”

“-- --Let our Mintai get Leblanc once more the next round, hum? He was ranting just now during the break that he still wants to challenge Smiling to see who’s better. Smiling’s Leblanc is so exciting to see and he still wants to see her tears……”

“That’s my wife. You want me to tolerate someone who wants to see her tears?” Lu Sicheng raised his eyebrows: “And he shouldn’t get excited randomly at her. That’s not right.”

“Wasn’t I a patron of yours, hum? Aren’t you going to return the favor? I just want to take another world champion, then with the bonus money from the club I would be able to afford a villa in Gangnam District in Seoul!” Jroom said earnestly.

Lu Sicheng started laughing then said: “No can do.”

Jroom also chuckled, probably knowing that he was out of line and said: “Ah, you’re as annoying as Li Junhe. He’s also like that, didn’t even tower dive when he saw me around! I even told our jungler before the match that he had to hide in the bush to wait for Li Junhe since he would tower dive at level 4 for sure…… The first thing he asked me after the match was: Ge, didn’t you say Junhe Ge would tower dive for sure? You’re all liars QAQ!”

Lu Sicheng played with his name tag in his hand and tittered…… His long and lean fingertips gently stroke over the red letters “CN - LPL” on the tag.

Then he lightly said: “Yeah, it’s the world competition, everyone is for their own team. Li Junhe probably is thinking the same thing-- --This is the battle of honor for the region we represent.”

Jroom paused for a while…… When he looked up again, he happened to see his own players walking out of the passageway. He sentimentally patted Lu Sicheng’s shoulder: “No matter what, I don’t regret inviting you to come to LCK then.”

Tong Yao also walked over next to Lu Sicheng.

Lu Sicheng straightened up, picked up her hand, and smiled to Jroom: “Me too. I’m very glad to meet TAT at the world competition.”

-- --For a split second, he was almost sure that he had seen Jroom’s eyes brighten up against the lights on the stage. Suddenly, the background music for ban & pick phase started playing……

As opponents, they were at opposite positions.

As his old teammate and mentor, though Jroom didn’t say it, Lu Sicheng could tell from Jroom’s face that he was also glad they could meet on the world stage representing each of their own regions.
