Chapter 823: Chapter 468: Stepping onto the World Stage, the Battle Begins! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_5

But we can’t let our guard down.

In the Whatsapp group chat, Ding Yue talked with Qian Yu and Wang Shilin for a long time, and it seemed that Qian Yu’s mental state was gradually improving.

However, Wang Shilin was still having a hard time getting out of the slump caused by his girlfriend’s betrayal.

The next day.

Ding Yue arrived early at his office, turned on the projector opposite his desk, and waited for today’s Mid-Season Championship semi-finals.

"Hello everyone, this is Vale and I’m Miwa, and today we’re bringing you the semi-finals of the Mid-Season Championship, a match that is the focus of public attention for all of us LPL fans."

"That’s right, today’s semi-final will be between our LPL’s Spring Season champions, the FY team, which has overturned the strong domestic team QD as a dark horse, and the MBQ team from Baxi Country. Today is the home game for the MBQ team, which has a certain advantage, so let’s see if our FY team can claim another victory!"

In the game’s live broadcast room, two well-known League of Legends commentators took on the commentary duties for today.

At Mist City Arts and Science University.

Tens of thousands of students were paying close attention to this semi-final.

After all, it is their school’s team, representing the LPL district, representing Xia Country’s esports, in an important match on the world stage.

In the dormitories, nearly all the male students were watching the live broadcast of the match.

Even students who didn’t play the game League of Legends were sitting in front of their computers watching the live stream.

The same was true for the girls’ dormitories.

Everyone was cheering for the players of the FY team, and although they were not playing at home, most alumni could not go to support them on-site, so online cheering was definitely something to be done properly.

In the esports college’s classroom, many students from the esports major had spontaneously organized to come to the classroom to watch the live broadcast using the classroom’s large multimedia screen.

Apart from Mist City Arts and Science University.

There were actually countless other colleges with students who loved esports and loved League of Legends, and they were all following today’s Mid-Season Championship semi-final.

This year, Mist City Arts and Science University’s FY team performed impressively in the Spring Season, went through as a dark horse, and ultimately defeated QD, which had adjusted its conditions well, to win the LPL Spring Season Championship.

Therefore, the FY team attracted countless fans.

Now the official Weibo account of the FY team had exceeded 3 million followers.

So.

Today’s Mid-Season Championship semi-final is being followed by many netizens who are supporting the FY team.

But.

What the netizens and audience don’t know yet is the situation of Qian Yu and Wang Shilin.

They only know that the two players have often been replaced due to poor condition, with substitutes Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo coming on.

Especially in the quarterfinals, after Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo came on, even though their performance wasn’t great at the beginning, they quickly entered the zone and their coordination with the other three teammates was not off at all.

Plus, the strength of Ming Qiang and Zhou Genshuo was not bad either, so the audience didn’t have much to say about it during the quarterfinals.

After all, they had already made it to the semi-finals.

However, the audience was curious as to why Qian Yu and Zhou Genshuo’s conditions hadn’t improved, and whether they would be the starting players today?

Before the match officially started, no one knew whether Qian Yu and Wang Shilin were in the starting lineup.

Everyone, of course, hoped to see Xiong Jiahao, Feng Jin, Qian Yu, Wang Shilin, and Yao Jing — the five players — take the stage.

After all, in the FY team, these five players had always been the starters, and as a team, their combined strength was extremely formidable.

Yet.

Only Ding Yue knew that today, Qian Yu and Wang Shilin would not be able to play.

"But we know that the current player situation for the FY team is a bit pessimistic, it is said that the jungler Qian Yu and the top laner Wang Shilin may be unable to start due to personal condition reasons," commented one of the commentators.

"Yeah, in the previous quarterfinals, the two players were successively replaced by substitute players," added the other commentator.

The two commentators shared some information with the audience based on what they knew.

What?

Qian Yu and Wang Shilin might not start?

This news took many fans of the FY team and some of the general audience by surprise.

After all, this was the semi-finals, and if the two players didn’t participate, bringing in substitutes might reduce the chances of winning.

Everyone naturally wanted the original players Qian Yu and Wang Shilin to play.

At this time.

Actually, at the match venue in Rio de O’Neill, Baxi Country, Qian Yu and Wang Shilin were also feeling helpless.

Qian Yu’s condition had recovered somewhat, but Wang Shilin was still mired in self-blame and low spirits.

It was regrettable.

After all, this was the semi-finals, and winning would mean stepping into the finals, but losing meant they’d have to pack up and buy tickets back to Mist City Arts and Science University.

If they had to return to Mist City Arts and Science University like this, Qian Yu and Wang Shilin could imagine what kind of situation it would be.

At that time, the whole internet would be criticizing them, and they would feel ashamed to face the enthusiastic support of their schoolmates.

Back home, the outcome of a League of Legends match is exactly that: win, and everyone cheers "awesome"; lose, and unless it’s a glorious defeat, you’re bound to be ruthlessly criticized by netizens.

Ding Yue vaguely remembered that the only team that didn’t get a severe backlash after losing the S Competition finals was Shu Ning Team, renowned for the legendary ’Five Kills Descending from the Sword Saint’.
