Chapter 153: A natural star of the arena! The
The Roaring Emperor listened to these words.
Then looking at the "1v5" seat picture comparison on the player stage, he really couldn't pick up the conversation for a while.
Even if DK really had some aftereffects that hadn't fully healed... but on the other side, there were four people who didn't even come to the scene!
He could only pretend not to hear, adjust his tone after a while, and avoid sensitive words that might poke the audience's heartstrings as much as possible.
"GG!"
"Our third seed DK still unfortunately lost, but congratulations to EDG, they indeed showed the strength that a defending champion and a first seed of the region should have."
"Especially this young rookie Ye, he is definitely one of the strongest players this year... I have to say, the biggest difference between the two teams might be in the aspect of reinforcements and signings in the new season..."
The experienced Roaring Emperor tried to emphasize that it was "defending champion" + "match between first seed and third seed," as well as the issue of "reinforcements and signings" for both sides in the new season.
To cover up the focus and comfort the Korean audience.
But the LPL commentary desk on the other side wasn't so subtle.
"Three to zero! Three to zero!" Wang Duoduo shouted angrily: "EDG unleashed their full power to sweep DK, once again repeating last year's final result! Successfully advancing to the semifinals!"
"Ye Master's performance in the quarterfinals can be called a miracle!!!"
"We are destined to see the figure of the LPL region on the stage of the semifinals!"
Rita clapped her hands like a seal: "This quarterfinal match is really exciting, we witnessed an absolutely unforgettable performance show!"
The data man Guan Zeyuan stood up, his deep voice following: "There is one thing that perhaps many viewers don't have such a deep impression of."
"This is the first time in 8 years that LPL has defeated an LCK representative team with a 3-0 record on the S-match stage!"
"The last time, it has to be traced back to the match between OMG, the planet's light, and Najin White Shield in S4!"
"EDG is still creating new records in this World Championship! Breaking T1's first-place curse in the group stage, and creating a new historical epic in the quarterfinals... I think their journey will continue!"
The scorching spotlights of the Madison Square Garden theater were flashing crazily, focusing on the player seats on the left.
The group photo was displayed on the large horizontal screen, the huge victory logo and the black-and-white knight team logo descended on the scene with victory wings!
The cheers were endless, lingering in every corner of the venue!
It's just that because the other four positions only had four small plush bears drooping on the empty e-sports chairs, they couldn't respond to the light's envelopment.
In the end, the five main circular lights that should have been dispersed in the five positions could only be closed in the position belonging to the player seats, completely swallowing that slender figure in the waterfall of light.
Ye Bo, who was still checking the post-match panel—suddenly "eyes lit up"!
He almost thought there was some special reward for this game, and opened his eyes wide there.
Only after a trance did he realize it was the light from reality.
But he didn't avoid that beam of light, instead looking at the audience against the light, listening to the countless shouts about his ID from below.
This scene and situation only made his heart surge, and the hot-blooded emotion that had been suppressed for three games also surged in an instant.
Ye Bo couldn't help but shout toward the audience!
Of course, this shout to vent his emotions couldn't be heard at the scene.
But the clearly visible mouth shape and movements were captured by the audience below, instantly triggering a passionate and crazy resonance from the European and American audiences.
"Oh~~~~"
"Ye! Ye! Ye!"
"Ye! Ye! Ye!"
The live broadcast room was also detonated by this scene.
【Too much camera sense, Ye Master's personality is simply a natural star of the arena】
【This feeling of being both green and crazy is really good, if I were on the opposite side, I would be afraid of him before fighting!】
【A single horse and a single rider entering the encirclement, the heroic spirit makes the enemy tremble!】
【You can always believe in Ye in a desperate situation!】
【Original school filial son + White monkey, originally a Ye hater, but to be honest, this quarterfinal really convinced me, it's really awesome】
Interacting with the scene, Ye Bo, who was alone at the scene for the first time, was suddenly a bit unfamiliar.
After a while, he remembered that he should go for the post-match handshake.
Because of the hot blood in his brain, Ye Bo stepped with light steps, looking a bit bouncy, walking out of the player seats, crossing the center of the stage alone to go to the opposite side.
And without the obstruction of the noise-canceling headphones, he could also hear the passionate voice of the English commentary at the scene.
"EDG didn't stop moving forward because of the trouble of the illness! Just like Ye is striding forward at this moment to go to the opposite side to bump fists with his defeated opponent!"
"Today's EDG, under the leadership of this young Eastern rookie, once again defeated the strong enemy that once hindered them from reaching the top, and they are continuing to write the legend of the knights!"
"One person arrives, it's like ten thousand horses and thousands of troops!"
Although Ye Bo didn't understand much.
But it didn't affect the infection of emotions, and his cheeks were a bit red.
In contrast.
The faces of the DK crowd were hard to look good.
ShowMaker sat slumped in the e-sports chair, staring at the failed red screen, seemingly unable to recover for a long time.
Last year's final was 3-2, just one small step away from completing the defense of the two consecutive championships, becoming a true historical second mid laner, becoming "the next Faker"...
But this year they fell in the quarterfinals, and it was in this way.
ShowMaker knew best that in these three games, he not only failed to suppress the opponent's most important core carry today, but was instead dead-suppressed by the opponent for three games!
Most importantly, if the person on the opposite side was still his old opponent Scout, that would be fine.
But the person on the opposite side was a pure rookie!
And, after being stunned for a long time, ShowMaker suddenly showed a "relieved" smile.
Compared to the young man who was high-spirited when he saw the backstage camera and directly took a big step up to "make a ghost face" back then.
ShowMaker today seems to have "grown up."
Perhaps just like the sentence "failure always runs through the beginning and end of life" in his mouth last year...
Until Ye Bo came to the player seats, he was patted on the shoulder by his teammates, and then he woke up like a dream and took off his headphones to stand up.
Ye Bo, who was fighting for the first time, didn't have any special feelings for these few, just performed the ritual process of bumping fists one by one normally.
But at this moment, he was thinking.
If a few teammates were also at the scene, they should have quite a few feelings... If I had known, I would have asked them if they had any harsh words they wanted to say, and helped them release them!
The fist bump was completed.
Ye Bo walked out of the player seats.
And the five DK people behind him watched him leave, their eyes a bit complicated.
Although they hadn't played much training matches with EDG, they were opponents for two years after all, and they knew very well that today's EDG was definitely not in their complete state.
However, it was in such a state... that they were still beaten three to zero!
The DK crowd knew even better—the reason for all this really wasn't because they were weak this year.
It was entirely because of the person in front of them!
Ye Bo returned to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience at the scene.
The international student fans at the scene and the domestic fans who traveled thousands of miles to North America seemed to be "competing" with the European and American foreigners, and the two sides made crazy screams!
Every time a World Championship game is played.
Even Ye Bo himself could clearly feel the step-by-step improvement of his popularity and fans.
This is actually very normal.
After all, Ye Bo's playstyle is really too easy to "attract fans."
Those high-risk operations and whimsical ideas are all bringing infinite visual impact and deep impressions to the audience!
Most League audiences watching League matches cannot necessarily substitute themselves to feel those undercurrent games, nor can they necessarily feel the tactical collisions and operational gaps inside and outside the field.
The most direct feeling is the development of new and strange "routines" by the players, experiencing game content from different perspectives.
And the most direct real-life operations!
Ye Bo, who returned to the player seats again, didn't leave.
Today, it was clear that only he could accept the interview.
He sat on the player seats waiting for the scene process, and put on his headphones again.
"Hello hello hello? Is anyone still there?"
"Here, here, here!"
Not surprisingly, four voices responded instantly.
Clearly, no one had left, and everyone had gone to get their phones at the first opportunity and opened the live broadcast screen.
"So handsome, Ye Master! You just... the picture of you shining in the light, I saw that the Tieba has already exploded! Pure Tiga!" Jie Jie, who is good at surfing, naturally looked at Tieba at the first opportunity.
"You're still coughing, hurry up and rest well, I'll wait for you to lead me in the semifinals~" Ye Bo joked happily.
"Must be, I feel refreshed after winning this game!"
Meiko smiled and said: "I saw ShowMaker was stunned, sitting there in a daze for a long time."
"That's inevitable, anyone who finishes laning with Ye Master will be stunned for a while!" Brother Shengqiang Ge, who had experienced it, said so.
"Indeed." Viper was still in his concise style.
It's just that it was clear that he felt like he had let out a big sigh of relief, and even his voice sounded more powerful.
The top laner's state recovered the best, the jungler had the mid laner to take care of more, and the support was relatively less likely to make mistakes as long as he didn't want to "steal the spotlight."
Only the AD, as an important carry and one of the positions most likely to die suddenly, even slight mistakes could bring fatal results to the team.
It was very clear, just like these few games, there were quite a few rhythms triggered or affected by the bot lane, and several waves almost caused a disaster!
So compared to others, Viper had a kind of "surviving a disaster," or a sense of luck he had never had before.
It's really good to have someone to support you.
After chatting with his teammates for a while, the staff at the scene had already come to notify him.
"Don't say it, I'll go to the interview first!"
Ye Bo took off his headphones again.
However, before he went back on stage, he didn't walk straight onto the stage...
When Ye Bo returned to the center of the stage for the interview, the supporters in the audience once again created a massive wave of sound.
And just when the audience saw the four "figures" Ye Bo was holding in his arms.
The screams one after another instantly resounded through the venue!
It was still the familiar Sjokz waiting with a smile, and seeing this move, she also showed a knowing smile.
Ye Bo leaned over and said something to the translator first, and the translator immediately went to convey it to Sjokz.
Sjokz showed a surprised expression after hearing it.
But soon she returned to a smile and nodded to signal.
After the cheers from the stage subsided, Sjokz started the interview.
"Dear viewers from all over the world, welcome to the post-match interview session!"
"We have invited the winner of today's quarterfinals—the entire EDG team! Come to accept the interview!"
Although Ye Bo couldn't fully understand the meaning.
But after hearing Sjokz read out the EDG team name after the long tail sound, he immediately understood.
Like a kangaroo mother, he shook the four figures in his arms hard at the camera.
The audience finally knew what Ye Bo wanted to say just now, and even the hostility that was "arguing" on the barrage suddenly calmed down a bit.
"First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning this BO5! Also congratulations to Ye! For winning the MVP of this quarterfinal again, this is your sixth MVP of this World Championship!"
"And this game, you also successfully broke the record for the single-game output share of the S-match..."
Ye Bo was chatting with his teammates just now, wearing noise-canceling headphones, and didn't hear the segment at the scene.
Hearing the interview question this time, he was a bit slow to react, and turned to look at the big screen behind him.
His group photo was impressively on it.
Like the Azir in the first game, in a tactical system of nearly four-protect-one, plus Ye Bo's self-suppression being extremely stable and rarely taking risks, resulting in a very high KDA, getting the MVP was a matter of course.
The difference is—this game broke the record for {output share}!
Output damage: 30772
Output share: 59.87%
It was exactly the record of 59.79% held by the world's number one Anivia, the North American mid laner "Froggen," who held the highest CS record in the S4 season!
When the commentary desks around the world made this notification, everyone was very shocked.
After all, you have to know, don't look at how the two data shares are very close, it seems to be just "barely breaking" the record.
But the gap between the ancient season like S4 and the current version that has been emphasizing balance is not just a little bit big!
Wanting to hit such an exaggerated damage share in this version, meaning one person actually dealt 60% of the damage, is absolutely outrageous and terrifying!
Of course, there were some "controversies."
Even Ye Bo heard some meaning from Sjokz's roundabout questioning.
Clearly, this game was not a single-core composition of Azir.
Being able to hit such data, aside from the fact that Azir's formation period arrived too early in this game, and Ye Bo was almost poking the opponent's whole team alone from the mid game...
It was clear that someone in the team had dragged their feet, causing the output damage to be shared.
Kalista only dealt a mere 8792 damage, which was even lower than the Lucian who had been beaten on the opposite side, which was naturally very unqualified for an early-mid game strong hero.
"So how would Ye evaluate this BO5, the performance of your whole team?"
Ye Bo didn't take the microphone—he didn't have a free hand.
The translator raised the microphone thoughtfully, and he answered directly without thinking: "I think the data is really not important, I think there shouldn't be any professional player who considers data during the game, everyone only thinks about how to win."
"As for the so-called output share... the help provided by my teammates is definitely not something that these data can measure!"
"All I did was command the sand soldiers to go up and deal some damage, while my teammates had to consider a lot, thinking about how to protect me, how to follow up with skills..."
The barrage, which was originally extremely hostile, heard this interview.
This time it was miraculously peaceful.
It's just that for a while, the barrage seemed to be floating with the feeling of oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar being knocked over, all with flavors...
Ye Bo leaned down again to find the microphone and said: "And I also hope that everyone doesn't forget that my teammates were ill during today's game, and I think their performance is already very amazing!"
"Anyway, if it were me, it definitely wouldn't work~ When I was hit, I could mistake Sett for Ahri!"
The last sentence made the whole audience laugh, and the attacking voices soon disappeared completely.
After all, it seems that is indeed the case.
And after the translator fully conveyed Ye Bo's words, there was also a commotion at the scene.
Sjokz smiled and ignored this question that was a bit of a trouble-maker, and continued to throw the next question to Ye Bo—which was also the question Ye Bo "proposed" to her before going on stage.
"Okay! Let's interview... top laner Flandre!"
"Regarding winning this BO5, and winning the first time you played against Nuguri, what are your thoughts?"
The translator raised the microphone again.
But this time, Ye Bo deliberately "pinched" his throat, and a slightly funny voice came out.
"Ga, this one."
"Can only say there is a gap between champion top laners!"
"Facts have proven that I haven't aged yet, ga! Can play until 2025!"
The more Ye Bo spoke, the thinner his voice became, and when he shouted, it sounded a bit cracked, like he was cosplaying Donald Duck.
But the isolated EDG crowd was actually stunned when they saw Ye Bo holding the figures on stage.
Because Ye Bo didn't tell them about this part just now.
"It's bad, my carefully maintained humble persona has been broken!" Brother Shengqiang Ge scolded with a smile in the voice chat.
"And this guy, my voice isn't that sharp, he's learning like Xiaohu..."
But speaking to the back, Brother Shengqiang Ge's voice was clearly moved.
"Huh? Brother Shengqiang Ge, isn't that persona... cough cough, wasn't it broken by Viper long ago?" Jie Jie laughed loudly, making the atmosphere cheerful again.
Sjokz on stage continued with the next question.
Since it's a "team interview," one question per person is definitely necessary.
In order, the next one is the jungler.
Ye Bo specifically flicked his bangs this time, and at the same time deliberately made a clearly "pretending to be low" version of his voice, and a cold expression that looked very annoying.
"This, in terms of seniority, Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle are originally of the same generation!"
"Not to mention who doesn't know that 【Four】 is bigger than 【Three】, winning is as it should be!"
"Normal performance, normal performance~"
Jie Jie in the back looked at Ye Bo's actions and couldn't hold it in himself.
"Ah no, do I really act so cool usually?"
Meiko nodded very affirmatively: "If it weren't for Ye Master being a bit more handsome than you, I would have started to suspect if you two have any blood relationship."
"??? Saying I'm fiercer is fine, is it too much to say I'm more handsome!"
Sjokz continued to ask questions.
The next one is Meiko.
Ye Bo's version of Meiko wasn't
The Ye Bo version of Meiko didn't sound quite as much like him; mainly because Meiko's linguistic characteristics aren't very obvious, and the questions regarding the support role were also relatively simple—after all, the opposing support was also a rookie.
Then there was the final Viper.
Ye Bo very meticulously and deliberately used a slightly clumsy Chinese pronunciation, which sounded quite a bit like a Xinjiang accent.
His answer was absurdly brief, consisting of only one sentence.
"I can win even when I'm red-hot!"
The translator, worried that foreigners wouldn't understand the vivid description of "red-hot," translated it according to its true meaning: "fever."
But the domestic bullet comments instantly became lively.
【Bold!!!】
【I'm tearing up, family, this live "four-generations-in-one" Monster Reborn is just too full of life.】
【I just said Master Ye was born for this arena; the bigger the stage, the more it stimulates his potential! I can only say it's fortunate he came to EDG; if he had gone to some bottom-tier scrub team, he might have been buried!】
【That's impossible. How could such a mechanical monster be buried? Unless some idiot coach made him play some Karma wheelchair mid-laner, then even if you brought Faker, he'd be buried too! Faker also debuted and became famous playing Zed!】
【This is our new team soul for the EDG fans! Does your team have such a team soul?】
【We do, our team's soul is currently reporting this news.】
【Incorrect, your team's soul should only have swum to the Yellow River by now, still a few steps away from home~】
Sjokz very cooperatively completed this somewhat dramatic interview.
As a veteran League host with ten years of experience, she has interviewed countless players over the years.
But clearly, the person in front of her had left a deep impression on her, both inside and outside the game.
The interview reached the end, which was also that most common procedural question.
"The last quarterfinal match in the bottom half of the bracket is about to start tomorrow, and it's a battle between the number one seeds of two regions!"
"So, what are your expectations and outlook for your next semifinal opponent?"
Ye Bo thought about the situation in the bottom half of the bracket and did not directly assume who the opponent would be.
Don't let the three-to-zero score fool you; in reality, the tension it brought to Ye Bo was not light at all, and the various offensives and designs were surprising and astonishing.
Especially in this last game, Kayn's several bizarre offensive designs all made him inexplicably excited!
Every team has its own specialty and unique skills; one should not underestimate anyone.
But the stronger the opponent, the more Ye Bo can be stirred and excited.
"The bottom half of the bracket hasn't produced a result yet; let's look forward to our opponent being revealed."
"But no matter who we are about to face, we have confidence!"
"I can only say—"
"I also hope our opponent is already prepared to face the complete form of EDG!"
Without a doubt.
The region's last hope successfully achieved such a great victory in the quarterfinals.
When this news quickly spread back home, it would inevitably set off a frenzy of public opinion on major forums!
