A year in advance.

"You’ve come this far on your own effort and hard training, struggling hard. In the upcoming matches, just let loose and play. Of course, Director Jian has told me that you have quite a few tactics, which perhaps don’t need to be revealed when playing against the LC team, to hold back for battling the teams from Korea."

Ding Yue said with a smile to everyone.

Xiong Jiahao and others all nodded their heads.

"I remember when you came back from the Mid-Season Invitational, you were all furious in training. Now, it’s the last big battle of the year for our LPL region. Come on, tell me, what is your goal?"

Ding Yue looked at everyone and asked.

"Aim for the S10 World Championship, we want to win the championship!"

"Yes, we want to win the championship!"

"Championship!"

"Revenge!"

"To take revenge and win the championship!"

Xiong Jiahao, Feng Jin, Qian Yu, Yao Jing, and Wang Shilin all responded one after another.

Seeing the flames burning so fiercely in the hearts of Xiong Jiahao and the others, Ding Yue felt very pleased.

Although e-sports is different from the scientific research and technology developed by Mist City Arts and Science University, e-sports has been recognized by the era, accepted by the public, and even has the chance to be included in the Olympics in the future.

If the first professional team from the Mist City University of Arts and Sciences e-sports institute were to win the World Championship, its influence would go without saying, becoming a milestone in the history of League of Legends competition.

"Everyone, just play your best today. Since the LC team is an opponent you regard as respectable, show your strength, and have a vigorous and exciting battle with them. Even if you’re unlucky and lose, it doesn’t matter. Our qualification for the S World Championship has been firmly secured."

Jian Zihao said in a very relaxed tone to every member of the FY team.

In the current LPL region, FY team and Dragon City LC team have already confirmed their qualification for the S World Championship.

The finals between the two teams are now a competition between the first and second seeds.

The rest of the teams have to play in the bubble match. Whether the veteran QD team can make it to the S World Championship this year will depend on if they can break through in the bubble match.

Actually, QD team has a good chance.

Because the bubble match mechanism is different from the regular matches.

QD team only needs to play one match.

Before QD team, there will be two teams with enough points eligible for the bubble match to play a round first, and the winner will then play against QD team.

If it weren’t for the fact that the LPL region also had four spots this year, QD team would need to play another round after winning to compete for the third seed qualification.

Now it’s no longer necessary.

As long as QD team wins, they will be the third seed.

If they lose, there is still one more chance.

"Players, get ready."

Just then, at the door of the rest room, a staff member of the tournament organizers came over and informed the FY team to get ready. At the same time, the Dragon City LC team was also informed to prepare.

Although there were only about one or two thousand people at the venue today.

But in several online streaming rooms, there were tens of millions of viewers watching this dark horse battle today.

Two dark horses.

Who will be the strongest one?

Many viewers even started guessing and "setting odds" before the match.

And due to the high popularity, on Twitter, even before the match started, a trending topic #DarkHorseBattle# had already formed, with the heat value soaring and the ranking on the trending list also rising continuously.

"Who will win the championship in today’s dark horse battle?"

"Based on previous matches, FY team is indeed a little stronger."

"Not necessarily, FY team also didn’t win easily against LC team before."

"Both teams belong to the top tier now, let’s see who will lift the trophy today."

"First, congratulations to both teams for securing a spot in the S World Championship."

"So here’s the question, who do you guess will be the first seed?"

"According to this year’s rules, it seems like the champions and runners-up of the playoffs are the first seed for the LPL region in the S World Championship, right? And the runner-up is the second seed, with the third and fourth seeds contending in the bubble match."

"This year is truly magical. Earlier this year, the FY team almost won the world championship, which was regrettable. And now in the second half of the year, the brand new LC team emerged; our LPL region is really fierce."

"Don’t be too proud, the Big Tiger team from Korea has also maintained a strong performance in the Summer season."

"I’m a fan of the FY team, but I kind of favor the LC team today."

"The LC team has really transformed, becoming a top-tier team out of nowhere, so surprising."

"I’m definitely rooting for the FY team."

"Right, right, right, I’m also rooting for the FY team."

"I’ll support the LC team a bit, but really, it doesn’t matter, just play the game well."

It has to be said that in the past two years, the fans of the LPL teams have been quite harmonious.

Unlike before, when the fans of the famous teams would engage in all sorts of flame wars, you bash me, I bash you, now even the fans of an old brand team like QD don’t dare to be too aggressive.

Because the performance of the QD team this year really hasn’t been very satisfying.

They even almost missed the chance to play in the bubble match this year by accident.

Most players can see that the five members of the QD team seem to be falling behind, at least not maintaining the level they had last year, or even in the first half of this year.

During the first half of the year, the QD team could at least hold their own against the super dark horse FY team, though they ultimately couldn’t beat the FY team.

But now things are different.

The FY team has already become a top-tier team in the LPL, with only the Dragon City LC team able to rival them.

"Let’s go, everybody!"

In the rest area of the Mist City Arts and Science University’s FY team, the smart robot Big White also encouraged Xiong Jiahao and the others.

Seeing Big White lifted everyone’s spirits, and Big White was even cheering for them.

"Let’s go!"

The five players sat in a circle, hands on each other’s shoulders, and after a shout of encouragement, they each took their gear and were ready to enter the stage.

Jian Zihao, who was also the coach, was ready as well.

After all, during the ban-pick phase, Jian Zihao, as the coach, had to be there to "guide."

"Let’s move out!"

Jian Zihao commanded.

The team left the rest area under the watchful eyes of Principal Ding.

At this moment, the atmosphere on stage was quite good.

After all, this was the LPL’s post-season championship, and the organizers did a decent job, hardly ever dropping the ball in this regard.

"Principal, the online support rates for the two teams today are 34.61% and 65.39%," reported Big White to its master, Principal Ding.

This was an instruction that Principal Ding had given to Big White when they arrived at the Mist City e-sports stadium, to check the online support rates before the match.

"What? Our FY team only has less than 35%?"

Upon hearing this, Principal Ding asked in astonishment.

"Our side’s support rate is 65.39%."

Big White responded again.

"Uh, Big White, could you be clearer."

Principal Ding immediately rolled his eyes at Big White.

Although Big White did not understand what its master’s eye roll meant.

"Hahaha, Principal Ding, Big White is really funny," chuckled Wen Ruohan, the secretary, with her hand over her mouth.

Big White, well,

It’s amusing, but

Sometimes it does show a somewhat "dull-witted" side, which is unavoidable because Big White needs to "learn" about anything "new."

"Has Big White’s intelligence level been perfected by now?"

Xu Bin asked curiously.

Xu Bin had a large part to play in Big White reaching today’s level of intelligence, since he wrote the human-like cognitive program that Big White uses.

"It’s perfected, but whenever Big White encounters a field it hasn’t learned about, that’s when it becomes artificial stupidity," Principal Ding responded with another eye roll, and then asked, "Oh right, Bin, weren’t you always telling me that you wrote a security system for Big White?"
