Chapter 80: Listen to me, watch Top Esports for international matches!
The interviews in the lounge were far from over.
After the athletes finished their interviews and special interviews, the coaching staff, team leaders, managers, and others began their tasks.
Riot Games, the organizer, contacted them regarding matters related to the finals.
The promotional shoot for the finals is scheduled for three days later in San Francisco, where they will compete for the final championship in the city, at the Warriors' home court!
After the team leader handed over some things, several commentators from the North American region came here to take photos with them, and some even exchanged team jerseys.
Guest Master Brother, holding his TL team jersey, wanted to exchange jerseys with Lin Jin.
"Congratulations on making it to the finals."
The eldest brother held Lin Jin's hand and congratulated him with a smile.
Lin Jin smiled and said, "Thank you."
The team leader also brought Lin Jin's TES team jersey, which Lin Jin signed.
The team uniform exchange process began, witnessed by official media.
The two shook hands in front of the camera, capturing a precious moment.
"Fire, can I take a picture with you?"
"Fire, could you please sign this for me?"
"Fire! I'm your fan, good luck in the finals!"
Many of the staff from the North American region came in to ask Lin Jin for autographs and photos.
This scene was comparable to a superstar fan meeting.
Lin Jin fulfilled everyone's requests without refusing, leaving a deep impression on everyone.
At the same time, Jack, Zuo Shou, and others also took photos together to varying degrees.
Top Esports team was kept in turmoil until the early hours of the morning before they were able to leave.
There's no chance to eat out at night anymore; even takeout is unavailable.
Fortunately, Lin Jin and the others didn't mind. Everyone was in a state of excitement, and they just ate a few bites of McDonald's that night.
Lin Jin returned to the hotel, and before he could even lie down to rest, the system's voice came through.
"Congratulations, host, on leading your team to victory against T1! You've advanced to the World Championship Finals!"
"Gained 10% of the rescue points!"
"Congratulations, host, your salvation value has reached 80%. LPL has been successfully saved this season!"
"Please continue your efforts, host, to help LPL pursue the World Championship title and achieve consecutive world championship victories!"
Lin Jin was overjoyed. He had successfully saved them, but why did they still have to fight?
Maybe he can go back after this season?
However, Lin Jin wasn't too disappointed. After all, he had already made it to the finals of the global championship, and he really wanted to lift the championship trophy himself.
If we win the championship, then we should be able to achieve a 100% rescue value.
That being said, even if LPL had won both S11 and S12 in the current timeline, would that have truly saved LPL?
Lin Jin thought it was unlikely.
The LPL's badness is ingrained in its very core.
Even winning the world championship that year only increased the hype and attracted a number of sponsors.
The LPL's weakness stems from several factors: a lack of youth training, underperforming young players, complacent veterans, incompetent coaching staff, and an inexperienced management team.
Lin Jin let out a breath, deciding to put these thoughts aside for the time being.
Right now, my priority is to work with Top Esports and my teammates to win this damn World Championship title, and then we'll see.
…………
That night happened to be daytime in China.
While most netizens were still asleep during the competition, those who are now at work or in school have all joined in the heated discussion.
On various forums and video websites, clips of Top Esports' matches, especially highlights of Lin Jin's games, are being played continuously.
"Wow, Huozi is awesome!"
"This weapon master is getting my blood pumping!"
"Is this Top Esports' secret weapon? That's really amazing."
"How come I've never seen this person before? Is he a substitute for Top Esports? How come he's so strong?"
"If Top Esports' substitutes are this strong, their starters are bound to be phenomenal."
"Haha, Big Yellow? No such person found."
"Huozi has truly become a god, invincible! The world's number one top laner!"
"Haha, Top Esports winning the championship this year is just around the corner."
"LPL is going to win the championship again, they're really strong."
"Breaking the T1 curse, Top Esports will be unstoppable."
However, for every person who believes Top Esports will win the championship, there is just as many who do not.
Many LPL fans think they're getting too arrogant. Why do they look down on DRX so much?
"Is DRX really that bad? They beat Samsung, and by a score of 3 to 1."
"To be honest, this year's T1 is no match for Samsung at all."
"T1 was really bad this year. They were crushed by Samsung in the league and got completely outplayed by Top Esports at Worlds."
"Top Esports shouldn't think they're invincible just because they beat T1. Remember, this is the worst T1 in history."
"Saying it's the worst ever is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's definitely a very bad T1."
"Zeus, Little Lu Bu really doesn't deserve to play for T1, playing alongside Faker."
"What's so great about Top Esports winning against such a terrible T1 team?"
"I'm really worried about Top Esports. They've become so arrogant. I've seen this kind of thing many times before. It's another crushing defeat."
"Are DRX really that bad? They're a miracle team that made it from fourth seed to the finals."
"This team has all the qualities to win a championship."
"Imagine if DRX, the fourth seed, really pulled off a comeback and won the championship! What an inspiration that would be for so many teams around the world!"
"Yes, so I think DRX really has a chance to win the championship this time, and even Riot Games hopes that DRX can win the championship."
"DRX's mid and top laners are also very strong, so don't underestimate them."
Many netizens participated in the discussion, feeling that since the DRX team made it to the finals, they must be very competitive.
Nobody's a pushover, so we really shouldn't open the champagne too early.
Many esports experts posted videos and articles to express their opinions.
Let's discuss Top Esports' chances of winning the World Championship, and also praise Lin Jin, who has become a sensation at this World Championship.
Huozi Ge consistently ranks high on trending searches on video websites such as Douyin and Bilibili.
Today, five out of ten netizens who are scrolling through short videos are watching content about Huozi Ge.
Lin Jin has become a household name in the country.
While Lin Jin was sleeping, his phone kept receiving messages.
Luckily, he had the car on silent, otherwise he wouldn't have had a peaceful night.
The next day.
Lin Jin, who slept until noon, stretched and felt refreshed.
After washing up, I ate lunch in the buffet restaurant while scrolling through my phone.
Lin Jin wasn't surprised by his popularity on the Chinese internet, but he was curious that many netizens were still not optimistic about Top Esports winning the championship.
Top Esports, who swept T1 3-0, faced DRX, who had defeated them twice in the group stage.
Netizens don't even have enough confidence in Top Esports?
While eating his white food, Lin Jin picked up his phone, opened Weibo, and posted a message:
Listen to me, brothers, watch Top Esports for international matches.
