Chapter 24: Europe is bleeding!

Europe also has its own poetic commentator.

Drakos, this commentator, left an extremely poetic and epic-filled speech on the commentary desk of the S13 World Championship in later generations:

"People say Busan is Chovy's temple, but in front of five atheists, what is a god!!" (WeweretoldBusanwasthechurchofChovy，butwhat】saGodtofivenon-believers?!)

This sentence praises BLG, who defeated Samsung on the Busan stage.

And today, this commentator, on the host desk of the EU Summer Season opening match, freely vented his anger and mockery (which is allowed by Riot):

"Europe! It's bleeding!"

Drakos roared with his loudest voice.

Backstage in the G2 lounge, everyone's silence was deafening.

AP's smile was stiff as a cast, looking like it was about to crack.

Ka Lao Si also didn't expect to take such a harsh blow today; Drakos clearly aimed to mess with G2's mentality, and at this moment Ka Lao Si's whole face had turned ferocious.

The other teammates, though not in G2 this spring, also felt the disgrace.

Even Liang Yan couldn't help but tense his face, feeling that oppressive, mountain-heavy sense of suffocation transmitted from the front stage.

"We are waiting for a redemption!

"We are waiting for a team, using action to tell the world——we are still top-notch!

"It doesn't necessarily have to be G2!

"But today, this is the beginning of G2's self-redemption!

"And standing opposite them is Origen, once Europe's banner!!

""

Liang Yan understood.

This isn't mockery; it's damn frustration at failing to forge steel.

Another commentator said:

"Oh, poor OG, they encountered a betrayal during the transfer period."

"Yes, Zven and Mithy, and even CyanideFI, who once fought side by side with the Law King, these three people, in the same day, took off OG's blue jerseys and put on G2's black and red armor!"

"So what is today's theme?"

"Reckoning, or……never mind, in short, this is a brand-new season, a brand-new start, and it also has a brand-new format!"

"Exactly, abandon the luck of Bo1; from now on, welcome to the Bo2 double round-robin format!"

"But today isn't something you can just call a draw on; I want to see them fight until their livers and brains are splattered!"

"It must be 2-0!"

"Or……0-2?"

In the center of the stage, a beam of light illuminated Sjokz's figure.

As an iconic figure of global League of Legends esports, Sjokz is known for her double master's degree background and striking professional image, but at this moment the audience was simply appreciating Sjokz's long legs revealed from the slit of her long skirt.

During the S6 season, this host was at the peak of her looks.

Sjokz (left one)

Sjokz raised the microphone in her hand:

"The Berlin Arena, the summer season's flames have already been ignited!

"Let's start the battle!

"First, please welcome the blue team, Origen!

"Top lane, SoaZ!

SoaZ, who debuted in S1 from aAa, although he has never lifted the World Championship trophy, in the eyes of European fans he is the number one top laner, very popular.

When OG was first founded, it was called the Dream Team, and the sister-in-law's addition had a lot to do with that.

At this moment, as SoaZ walked onto the stage from the backstage passage, the venue immediately erupted with enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause.

"Jungler, Amazing!

Although Amazing had once been a European traitor (having joined North America's TSM), because last year with OG he reached the World Championship semifinals, earning merit for Europe, he was forgiven by European fans and his popularity remains high.

"Mid lane, PowerOfEvil!

As soon as he appeared, the audience's mood was very complex, the cheers were sparse, and most people just silently watched him walk up.

And in the EU official livestream, even OG fans directly lashed out:

【PowerOfEvil is utterly unworthy of being the Law King's successor; get out of OG, quick!】

But he is already standing here.

The broadcast picture switched to the OG backstage lounge for a moment, and xPeke gave the camera a thumbs-up.

The venue let out a burst of screams.

"Bottom lane, Forg1ven!

Because the bottom lane duo was poached by G2, OG brought in Forg1ven, who didn't renew with H2K due to military service issues; this player was the MVP of last spring's season, and OG paid a hefty sum to sign him.

"Support, Hybird!

Exactly, he is G2's former support.

OG, unable to find a suitable support, picked up Hybird, who was about to be kicked out by Ka Lao Si.

Hybird appeared, and the hall erupted in cheers.

People always empathize more with the weak.

In the audience's eyes, Hybird, callously discarded by G2, undoubtedly carries a thick layer of tragic color.

Needless to say, OG as well.

Combined, they are nothing short of a pitifully tragic stir-fry; just smelling this dish makes one's nose sour involuntarily.

When it was G2 player's turn to appear, the audience wasn't so friendly.

Lao Zhang, whom Ka Lao Si had used as the opening king bomb and played first, was the first to come on stage from backstage, and what greeted him was wave after wave of boos.

Lao Zhang's comeback this time was very rushed; he was already extremely nervous, and moreover he was in unfamiliar Europe; as soon as he stepped on stage, the audience gave him a harsh welcome, his legs went weak, and he almost stumbled and fell right there.

Although he didn't fall in the end, he still provoked laughter from the whole crowd, his face turned bright red, he stood alone in front of the red team's player seats, so embarrassed he wished he could dig a hole and go home right then.

However, his embarrassment was soon relieved.

Because the later teammates' treatment was even worse—except for CyanideFI, whose boos were a little less when he appeared, the other three were greeted with a chorus of boos the moment they appeared.

Especially when AP appeared on stage, besides the noisy boos, many audience members loudly shouted for him to get off.

But AP's big heart is also famous; although his face was red and ears flushed, his smile stiff, he stubbornly raised his hand and waved at the audience, pretending he was popular, looking just deserving of a beating.

Since the venue didn't allow drinks in, otherwise someone would probably have thrown a mineral water bottle.

Liang Yan was backstage, squeezed with Ka Lao Si and others in front of a computer watching the live broadcast; seeing this scene, he really couldn't hold back his laughter.

He already knew before coming that, due to MSI's loss, G2's reputation in Europe would definitely not be good, but he never imagined it would be this situation where everyone shouted to beat them.

From the commentators to the audience, not a single one was willing to support them!

Put in plain Mandarin, it's just three words:

Even dogs dislike them!

At this moment, Liang Yan couldn't help but think of Tang Anna, who was at the base.

Before setting out, Ka Lao Si had let Tang Anna come to the venue as well, but Tang Anna refused, saying watching the livestream at the base allowed better focus for analysis, and in the end she didn't come along.

Not coming was the right choice……

Liang Yan even regretted coming a little.

The scene really messes with one's mentality!

Happy National Day!

Only one day off; I took the kids out for a walk in the afternoon, so I posted this in advance.

I wish everyone a happy National Day holiday!
