Chapter 1 Goodbye, Our Dreams.
China Shipping.
S7 League of Legends World Semifinals.
The Chinese audience in the audience was silent, the flickering neon lights turned off, and the arena was filled with mourning.
SVT1, a traditional Korean e-sports giant, played against a CNG team from China.
With the commentary, a cry full of sadness!
"Little Dragon, let's go!"
The spicy crayfish in the jungle of the CNG team was caught by the enemy's midfield auxiliary three, and fell on the edge of the triangle grass under a tower on the upper road.
Just now, Xiaolong stood in the eyes of the enemy's triangle grass on the upper lane, flashing only 3 seconds of CD, which could be covered by the prince's flash EQ ultimate. was stuck by Nakasuke, who came later, and even if there was displacement, he couldn't escape far.
With the death of Xiaolong, SVT1 took advantage of the situation to push down the three-way outer tower and approach the high ground. In the small dragon pit, SVT is single, Extreme E flashes R to three, Galio receives the ultimate move and flies in the air, and the next wave of perfect 0 for 5 is destroyed. Started from the middle and ended the game in one wave, blocking the last hope of the Chinese team outside the gate.
Seeing the result of this game, the arena was silent. The audience below was full of sorrow.
The dream was shattered after all.
It's not just the esports players on stage and the audience.
Thousands of young people or greasy uncles who are guarding in front of the computer desk and mobile phone are also speechless and choked.
They also woke up from their dreams.
S7, from the launch of the national server to the present. Short, League of Legends accompanies them for a year to two. And those who have been playing this game since their college days, since their high school days. Perhaps, it is four, five or even six years of youth.
This dream, for them, has been done for too long. To this day, the Chinese team has participated in the battlefield of the World Championship six times, except for S2's external cause, every year, they have returned with a feather.
The best result is two world runners-up.
But this.
What's the point?
The runner-up and the champion are never one step away, but the difference is far away.
Six years of conquest, six years without a championship.
When you lose, say anything as an excuse.
In life, how many six years can wait?
Those veteran players who have been playing since S2 can't afford to wait any longer.
Because they have graduated from school, gone out into society, put on a suit and tie, and have to face life!
That's their new enemy.
The heroes can't help them, and they don't need their help.
The creeps are still advancing.
Hero.
It's no longer there!
On the Yuncheng overpass, the overpass at the three-way intersection is full of people.
A huge display screen hangs from a nearby building.
Above, the semi-finals are being broadcast live.
Yun Luoyang stared blankly at the scene of the crystal explosion of the CNG team on the display screen, with the red bottom frame and the end of English in two big words, like a knife, inserted into his heart.
A trace of sadness crossed the corner of his eyes.
Six years of games, after all, came to an end here.
As a veteran player who started playing in the middle of S2, he has experienced countless things that later players have not experienced.
Full server opening event, Black Cut Alliance, Tank Alliance. From the ignorance at the beginning, the score hovered at 1100 points in the bronze rank, to the end of S3 Zone 1 Platinum 2, S4 Zone 1 Diamond 1, and then to S5 peak strongest king 613 win points.
To this day, his number is still in the 1st rank of Platinum. It's just that in a year, the number of rankings played, there are only a few more than forty or fifty, unlike when S5, the ranking and matching in that year alone added up, more than 3,000 times, not counting the number of big brawls.
Yun Luoyang has never been a talented gamer, born in 93, and when he arrived at S1, that is, in 2011, he just graduated from high school and was admitted to college. Before that, Yun Luoyang, who was a good student, almost never played any online games.
Except for when I was a child, under the leadership of my cousin, I cut a few legendary private clothes, and I went to junior high school and high school. The closed learning environment made him quickly forget about the computer and forget anything related to reading.
But after being admitted to university, I have leisure time and business life, which is more enriched.
Exactly then S2.
After half a year of hard work, the roommate let the entire dormitory join his black army. Yun Luoyang is in the middle of S2, probably in April 2012, in the first half of his freshman year, and officially started his League of Legends career.
That year, a big thing happened.
May 1.
The national server has found a huge bug that can infinitely flash healing.
That night, countless people hung up on the score.
Thereinto.
The most famous thing is to be in a daze.
At that time, Yun Luoyang was only mixed around 1,000 points, that is, the later Pit Daddy Bronze Section, and it could even be said that it was almost a small summoner above and below the Black Iron Section.
A melon-eating crowd.
Under his witness, the ranking of Box 1 District was updated again and again in just a few hours.
Although none of these people who opened plug-ins hit the first place in the national service, including Daze, he only went from 1400 points to 1800 points. But such a speed of scoring also made several roommates in Yunluoyang extremely angry at that time.
So they all wanted to open this hanging.
But.
I worked all afternoon, but it didn't work.
This incident made everyone, including Yun Luoyang, quite regretful.
But not long after.
A skin called Undying Undying changed Yun Luoyang's mind.
To those who have been traumatized but still on the right path.
Though.
He's stubborn and has nothing to do with being traumatized.
But seeing the name of this skin, and the inspirational words on it. Yun Luoyang felt that, perhaps, this was the way to become a hero.
After suffering from vicissitudes and pain, he finally turned into a butterfly and went to immortality.
It is precisely because of this that he fell into the pit of League of Legends and became a summoner who adheres to justice. Day and night hard work to score, although there is no too high game talent, but by virtue of hard work bit by bit and understanding of the game, he finally sat on the throne of the strongest king and became a generation of kings.
But.
Six years of companionship.
It's six years of youth.
Youth has no regrets, but never realize his dream.
Dreams, after all, wake up.
Yun Luoyang looked at the stunned players on the screen, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Inside, unspeakable pain.
The Union, once all he had.
Right now.
He has nothing left.
Yun Luoyang turned around and walked home without looking back.
He originally planned that after work, even if he was scolded by the boss the next day, he would go to the Internet café to play all night tonight.
Even the little friends who brought him into the pit back then have grown up, and their avatars and names will never light up again.
But now.
Let those six years of youth drift away with the wind.
In my heart, it was as if a burden had been lifted.
In a trance.
Yun Luoyang seemed to see that a wall of wind appeared in front of him, Yasuo held his sword and drank and sang a long song, asking himself: "Summoner, where are you going?" ”
Yun Luoyang smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I won't come back." ”
"Why?"
"Because I have a new enemy."
"Need our help?"
"No, because it's called life."
Yun Luoyang remembered the boredom of working overtime every day in the past two years, the rising rent, the increasingly high living expenses and the wages that had never risen in this southern provincial capital.
All this weighed him down, like a big mountain.
I'm sorry for my alliance.
I'm sorry, my hero.
Thank you for coming this way, with you all by your side.
In the future, I will no longer be in the Summoner's Canyon.
Ionia, ID, south of the South City, north of the North Bridge, to leave.
See you in the future.
Yun Luoyang looked at the sky.
Sunset.
The fiery red glow rendered the clouds on the horizon.
On the clouds, there seemed to be an indomitable figure of Irelia, Fiona waltz dancing in a fluttering position, Ruiwen roaring in anger, and Yasuo leaning on his sword and playing the flute. And the first hero he plays, Galen the Power of Demacia, is waving goodbye to him with a great sword.
Goodbye, Summoner.
Goodbye, our dreams.
