Chapter 1129: Chapter 610: The Principal Watches the Game with the Students (Please Subscribe)_2

At the time, the opening match we faced was against the perennial mid-season champion, the Big Tiger team from Korea, but fortunately, we won, which felt like fulfilling a revenge.

"Xiao Wen, how is the situation now?"

Seeing that Wen Ruohan seemed to have always been following the S World Championship, Ding Yue asked.

Since today is the semi-finals, Ding Yue definitely planned to watch the match because, if he won today’s game, he could directly have his secretary Wen Ruohan book tickets to watch the match live.

"Principal Ding, you might have been too busy recently to follow, but I have been keeping an eye on it, hehehe, our LPL region, our FY team advanced to the top four, and Dragon City’s LC team is also very strong, reaching the top four. The other two top four teams are Korea’s Big Tiger team and Europe and America’s GG team!"

Wen Ruohan updated Principal Ding about the current League of Legends S World Championship semi-finals situation.

This year’s semi-finals include two LPL teams from Xia Country, marking a strong presence from the LPL in recent years.

And most fortunately, the two LPL teams did not meet in the semi-finals.

That means, both the FY team and Dragon City’s LC team have the chance to meet each other in the finals.

Of course, there’s another possibility that both LPL teams get eliminated, leaving the finals to be contested between Korea’s Big Tiger team and Europe and America’s GG team for the championship.

What the final scenario will be depends on the outcome of today’s semi-finals.

"What time does it start?"

Ding Yue checked the time, and it was already past four in the afternoon.

"The game officially starts at five o’clock, the first match is Dragon City’s LC team against Korea’s Big Tiger team, and the second match is our FY team against Europe and America’s GG team."

Wen Ruohan immediately replied.

The two semi-final matches will both take place today, each following a best-of-five format.

That means, for League of Legends players worldwide today amounts to a grand celebration.

After all, the world’s strongest four teams will determine a winner today, deciding which two teams will stand on the finals stage next week.

"Darn, you should have reminded me earlier."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue figured the matches were about to start.

However, the first game was not his own FY team, but Dragon City’s LC team. Yet, it’s still our Xia Country’s own team.

Logically and emotionally, Ding Yue naturally hoped that Dragon City’s LC team could defeat Korea’s Big Tiger team, advancing to a final showdown with his own FY team.

After all, having both Xia Country’s teams in the finals would absolutely be the most glorious moment in League of Legends history for the LPL region!

"Ah, this..."

Secretary Wen Ruohan didn’t know what to say for a while.

Indeed, she had forgotten to inform Principal Ding that today was the day of the League of Legends S World Championship semi-finals. She would just have to take responsibility for this oversight.

"No worries."

Ding Yue didn’t blame secretary Wen Ruohan.

Since he now knew today was the day of the semi-finals, all he had to do was to get in the right mood and prepare to watch the game.

"Principal Ding, are we watching the game in the office or going to the Fifth Canteen?"

Seeing that Principal Ding wasn’t angry, Wen Ruohan smilingly asked.

"The semi-finals are quite an important part of the S World Championship, and since both of today’s matches involve our Xia Country’s teams, we definitely need to go somewhere with a good atmosphere."

The moment Ding Yue said this, secretary Wen Ruohan immediately understood the implication.

The last time they watched a game at the Fifth Canteen, the atmosphere was very lively. They decided to go there today to watch with the students for a more vibrant setting.

As a result, Wen Ruohan hurriedly made the arrangements, gathered her things, and left the Principal’s office with Ding Yue.

"Big White, come with us."

Ding Yue also called Big White along; if they were going to the Fifth Canteen to watch the match with the students, it would be nice to bring Big White so that the students who adore him could see him as well.

Big White immediately followed Ding Yue’s command, hurrying along with small quick steps.

"Let’s go!"

Ding Yue, accompanied by Secretary Wen Ruohan and Big White, left the Administration Building and headed toward the Fifth Canteen.

On the way, Ding Yue didn’t forget to call his mother, Zhang Yuping, asking her to prepare a special meal for him.

Meanwhile, at the Fifth Canteen, the place was almost filled with students. Though it wasn’t mealtime yet, the first match of the semifinals was about to start.

The live broadcast on the platform had already begun, and both commentators and the production team were in place.

"Principal Ding, hello!"

"Principal Ding, are you also here to watch the match?"

"Good afternoon, Principal Ding!"

"Wow, look, look, Principal Ding is here too."

"Principal Ding is here again, haha."

"FY team will win!"

When the students at the Fifth Canteen saw Principal Ding arrive, they couldn’t help but cheer, and many of them greeted Principal Ding.

Ding Yue responded to each greeting and then found a fairly good table to sit down at.

In fact, this fairly good table was given up by the students for Ding Yue.

"Thank you."

Ding Yue expressed his thanks for the students’ enthusiastic gestures.

"Don’t mention it, Principal Ding, we are so happy you could join us to watch the match," a student said excitedly.

By then, quite a few students had already taken out their phones to snap plenty of photos. After taking the photos, they shared them on Twitter, TikTok, and Twitter, showcasing their approachable principal who was watching the match with them in the canteen.

The large screen in the Fifth Canteen had already started broadcasting the live semifinals of the S World Championship. Although the two contending teams hadn’t officially appeared yet, the commentators and hosts had already begun their pre-match analysis.

"Students, the first match is with our own Xia Country’s Dragon City LC team. Let’s give them strong support!"

Ding Yue stood up and spoke to the students around him in the canteen.

"Of course, we’ll support!"

"Support Dragon City LC team to power through and meet us in the finals!"

"Yes, yes, yes, support Dragon City LC team to crush Korea!"

"Big Tiger team is tough though!"

"As people from Xia Country, we should of course support our own team!"

In such S World Championships, any team from Xia Country is our own team. That said, another team, the FY team, is truly our own since it was formed by students from the e-sports program under the nurture of Principal Ding’s own club.

FY team is genuinely our people!

Most of the audience at this first match was supporting Dragon City LC team, as they were the runners-up of the LPL regional postseason and had proven to be a strong competition to FY team, becoming significantly stronger after the world championship.

That is to say, Dragon City LC team was indeed capable of competing for the championship!

And the opponent of Dragon City LC team, Korea’s Big Tiger team, needs no further introduction as the students of Mist City Arts and Science University are familiar with them.

In the first half of the year, the FY team was defeated by this team, regrettably missing out on the mid-season championship title.

However, in the latter half of the year, the performance of this team seemed to have declined significantly in Korea, not entering the S Competition as the top seed.

But in the S World Championship, Big Tiger team seemed to have regained their form, fiercely battling their way into the semifinals.

The veteran strong team proved worthy of their reputation, quickly adjusting their form on the field.

"I remember Big Tiger team isn’t the strongest in the Korea division, right?"

Since Ding Yue hadn’t kept up with the details of the teams during the past half-month of the S Competition, he asked his secretary, Wen Ruohan.

"Right, Principal Ding, Big Tiger team wasn’t initially favored, but they knocked down the top seeds from both the Korean and Western divisions..."
