Chapter 26 The League Ends in Success
In mid-December, the sixth-star provincial finals of the first season of League of Legends were held as scheduled.
The official account "@LeagueofLegendsProLeague", run by the marketing girl, is also gaining followers today, providing real-time updates on the match progress.
The four teams are now in the finals and will compete this week to determine the two teams that will advance to the grand finals; the first season champion will be crowned next weekend.
During the competition, players who had played League of Legends and viewers who were familiar with the game were all focused on the final champion.
Many passersby were drawn to a very short video.
"A miracle of turning the tide with 15 points of health left in the base—a true man's heart is as iron until death!"
With this highly provocative title, the video went viral on social media and quickly rose to the top of the charts within just a few days.
Many people at this point had never even heard of League of Legends before watching this video.
No need for extensive understanding; anyone who has played the game can generally grasp the situation.
Sometimes game design also involves visual appeal and playability.
When a passerby can immediately tell that the player is desperately protecting the crystal, then the game's scene and UI are well-done.
League of Legends does this very well, with the most important information—the crystal's health—being highlighted.
The last remaining man of the LOG team, with his health bar nearly depleted, fought like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair, making a desperate last stand.
The two "wolves" he faced were also fighting with all their might, but unfortunately, they were just a hair's breadth away from victory.
The scene was incredibly powerful; everyone could feel the tension and tragedy in the atmosphere.
The video also included footage of the lone wolf dying, captured on camera—he slammed his fist on the table and then clutched his head in frustration.
Mingyan's account, @微微微工作, also reposted this video.
His caption read: "Will you be a coward for life, or a hero, even for just a second? (Forwarding video)"
This is a popular joke on Earth in the 21st century, and it actually has a sarcastic tone, but unfortunately, no one in interstellar space understands it.
The comments below were much more excited than Mingyan's.
Congratulations to Team LOG for winning!
We will forever remember this hero! And let us not forget those who sacrificed themselves for victory! It was they who held back the lone wolf's retreat with their lives, finally giving us a glimmer of hope for a comeback.
Those who weren't there watching the live stream will never understand how desperate LOG was!! There wasn't a single line of defense left in front of the base, they were out of ammunition and supplies, all their teammates were dead, but he still refused to give up! I was truly moved to tears watching that!
The buzz continues to grow.
The league is still in full swing, providing more material for news reports.
The final match saw the live stream's popularity soar to the top of the gaming section, with the official live stream room packed with viewers!
Passersby were drawn in by the rankings and came to check out this popular game competition.
The player paused their game and clicked to watch the final championship match.
The employees of Blue Star Studio also collectively suspended their work, crowding together in a conference room, nervously watching the big screen.
Both sides in the final battle come from clubs, but one is from a top powerhouse and the other is a newly formed club.
The two sides played a full best-of-three series, and even the final match was a close contest.
The audience was so excited that they wished they could go up there and break the ice.
Midway through the battle, both commentators got so excited that they even ripped off their ties to cheer for their teams.
As a special guest, Mingyan was impossible to stop!
Finally, the new team PLG found an opportunity, with their support sending the jungler down to steal the Baron.
A dragon can ruin a life!
Although the opponent still had the ability to fight, PLG relied on the Baron buff to cleverly distract the enemy, keeping them constantly on the move. In the end, they narrowly won the team fight in a 5v4 battle and successfully destroyed the enemy's crystal.
"Congratulations to PLG team for winning the final victory!"
"The championship belongs to PLG!"
The moment the League of Legends theme song started playing, the players excitedly hugged each other and then went on stage to receive the trophy together.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely enthusiastic, with everyone shouting.
Some people shouted for the champion team, some shouted for the player who carried the game, and some simply screamed.
Many viewers were moved by the emotions and shed tears.
Mingyan let out a soft sigh and silently walked backstage.
Unexpectedly, the snake-shaped beastman sitting to Mingyan's left also came over.
Mingyan glanced at him, and the latter nodded, saying, "The game is great, and the competition is very entertaining, isn't it?"
This person speaks in a very peculiar way, slowly and deliberately, as if he were someone who was used to giving orders and making final decisions.
