The next day.

Mist City eSports Arena.

For fans of electronic sports game "League of Legends," today’s match held in Mist City is highly anticipated, even drawing many team fans to travel to Mist City and purchase tickets to watch the game in person.

On platforms like Shark, Tiger Fang, and Bilibili, the official League of Legends stream was achieving the second highest viewership numbers for a League of Legends competition this year.

The top viewership this year was during the Mid-Season Invitational global finals, where Mist City’s FY team unfortunately lost to Korea’s Big Tiger team.

The LPL postseason finals is definitely a match that the audience in Xia Country couldn’t afford to miss.

In this match, the champion would become the LPL region’s number one seed, competing as the top seed in the S World Championship.

There’s no need to say more about the S World Championship.

It is the grandest annual global competition for "League of Legends."

Beyond the team fans and streaming audience, for the FY team, the arrival of one person was particularly important.

That person was Ding Yue.

As the president of Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue was quite busy with work, but he usually made it a point to attend and cheer on his students during major events or competitions.

This playoff finals was no exception.

Today, Ding Yue brought along his buddies Huang Youjie and Xu Bin, along with his secretary Wen Ruohan, and even the smart robot Big White was in tow.

In the eSports arena, pre-match preparations were underway.

The two competing teams had already arrived in the teams’ rest area of the arena.

The FY team from Mist City Arts and Science University somewhat had the home-field advantage.

After all, the finals were taking place in Mist City, and FY’s eSports club was based there, at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Meanwhile, the LC team from Dragon City had arrived in Mist City a few days earlier.

The five young players of the Dragon City LC team were arguably the day’s most unexpected dark horse.

Over the past few years, the LC team had always been part of the LPL, but they generally were at the bottom of the standings, even at risk of dropping out altogether.

If it hadn’t been for another team performing even worse than Dragon City LC at the beginning of the year, when Ding Yue’s FY team moved up, it might have pushed the LC team out.

Unexpectedly, come the Summer season, the Dragon City LC team rapidly rose up.

This was thanks to a change in management and fresh faces; everything but the team name was replaced.

This was not a small matter—this change was earth-shaking.

During the regular season of the Summer Game, the Dragon City LC team may have lost a few initial matches, but as the season proceeded, their momentum grew stronger, and they forged ahead victoriously, reminiscent of FY team’s performance during the previous Spring Game!

Therefore.

In the LPL region, there was talk of the Spring Game dark horse FY team and the Summer Game dark horse LC team, both of whom had strong capabilities, courage, and versatile and formidable play styles.

So, this playoff finals between Mist City FY team and Dragon City LC team could be said to be the centerpiece battle of the LPL region.

The veteran teams seemed to be gradually losing their vitality.

The rising new teams, on the other hand, were increasingly astonishing.

Even Ding Yue, after getting to know the Dragon City LC team, couldn’t help but remark on the collection of talented young players in the team, who excelled in "League of Legends."

But no matter.

Every member of his own FY team was also extremely diligent.

They had savored the glory of being super dark horses, clinched the Spring Game championship trophy, but also experienced setbacks.

In the Mid-Season Invitational, FY team’s young players were defeated by Korea’s formidable Big Tiger team, spurring them to train tirelessly night and day afterward to improve their skills.

During the Summer season, Ding Yue had heard from Xiong Jiahao that they hadn’t revealed all their strength and could already dominate the LPL region as is.

However, whenever they encountered the LC team, the matches were closely contested.

During the regular season of the Summer Game, FY team lost only once to LC team.

Xiong Jiahao had also mentioned that Dragon City LC team was a team worthy of respect; their abilities were significantly different from other teams in the LPL region.

Of course, established teams like QD were also quite formidable, but perhaps due to the ages of the players, their overall strength was relatively weaker compared to young teams like FY and LC, who may have more energy?

Inside the rest area of Mist City FY team at that time.

Ding Yue was casually chatting with his students before the game.

Casual conversation was better than incessant reminders.

Reminders could create pressure for these students who were now successful professional players, even though they were still students at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Next summer, several members of the FY team, including Xiong Jiahao, would graduate from the eSports college of Mist City Arts and Science University.
