Chapter 98 A fierce onslaught!
4 month 20 day.
The TES team bus slowly drove into the neighborhood where their Shanghai home stadium is located.
Chen Xiao leaned against the window, watching the tall buildings and GG signs rushing past.
Spectators in team uniforms were already a common sight on both sides of the street, some holding up support signs, others taking photos of the team buses as they passed by. The game hadn't even started yet, but the atmosphere of the playoffs had already enveloped the entire area.
The weather is nice today.
Sunlight streamed through the car windows, brightening the interior.
Chen Xiao looked away and casually flexed his wrist.
Are you nervous?
Ah Shui suddenly leaned over and asked a question.
"good."
"Not bad? You're just a little nervous." Ah Shui said with the air of someone who's been there.
"The first time I played in the playoffs, I couldn't even eat before the game."
"And the result?"
369 also curiously came over to ask.
"As a result, they went up there and completely crushed the other side."
Ah Shui was very serious.
Chen Xiao:
"————"
369:

""
What the hell are you calling Versailles?!
But thinking about it, it's true. It seems like Ah Shui just dominates the game as soon as he joins IG's first team.
We only lost to RNG!
"Alright, we're almost at the venue. Stop chatting about random things and focus on the game!"
Maokai rubbed his forehead, glanced around at everyone, and said, "Beating JDG in the regular season doesn't mean anything. A best-of-three series and a best-of-five series are not the same thing. You must take this seriously!"
"Don't think about crushing the opponent in one go today. Just do what you're supposed to do and play the game you practiced in the scrims."
"The resource exchanges in the first fifteen minutes must be clearly communicated, especially the decisions regarding the Vanguard and the Dragon. Don't get impulsive or impatient; play steadily and surely!"
Maokai, like a patient father, was genuinely worried that the team might repeat the "overwhelming" scenario with Baron Nashor in the match.
And this is such a crucial match, my blood pressure is about to explode!
"Understood," everyone responded in unison.
I also understand the importance of today's match!
Xiao Tian patted his chest.
"Don't worry, coach, I'll continue to farm in the enemy jungle today!"
His last victory boosted his confidence to the max, and he's ready to pull off another matchup gap today!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Maokai immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "Kanavi isn't even bothered with F6 anymore. What are you going to do with that? Are your mechanics better than his? Or are your reactions faster? Or do you have a deeper champion pool?"
Xiaotian was speechless, and after a long while he could only manage to squeeze out, "I have the S-series FMVP."
Chen Xiao: "You're bringing up ancient tales? Are you using the sword of the previous dynasty to execute current officials?"
"screw you!"
"——"
Amid the noise, the bus drove into the venue's parking area.
Looking out the car window, the outside world was already a sea of red and black.
Large numbers of fans wearing TES jerseys gathered on both sides of the railing, with various support banners fluttering in the wind. The cheers could be clearly heard even through the car windows.
Chen Xiao subconsciously looked towards the crowd—his self-illumination suddenly stopped.
He saw many huge light signs that read "Lucifer".
The number is not small.
Some people held up signs cheering him on, some held up his official photos, and there were even specially made chibi-style support boards—
.
Chen Xiao paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered when he first joined TES.
At that time, the fans' attention was almost entirely focused on the teammates.
However, in just half a season, the situation has completely changed.
The bus came to a stop and the doors opened.
boom!
A deafening roar of cheers swept over them instantly.
"Go TES!!!"
"Top Esports, go go go!!!"
"Go Lucifer!!!"
"Lucifer is so handsome! Mommy loves him so much!!!"
"Today, we'll crush JD.com!!!"
"6
""
The various sounds mingled together, creating a lively scene reminiscent of Chinese New Year.
369 couldn't help but complain as soon as he got off the bus.
"Wait, Chen Xiao, how long have you been in the team?"
"Why does it feel like they have more fans than I do now?"
Xiao Tian nodded in deep agreement.
"Being handsome definitely has an advantage."
"In the end, this world still judges people by their appearance; who understands my lonely soul?"
Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hand.
"This is probably what they mean by 'the right to be righteous'."
"screw you!"
'
'
Amid cheers from fans, Chen Xiao and his teammates walked into the backstage dressing room.
At the same time, the official live stream also switched to the studio.
The lights came on, and all three commentators were in place.
Miller spoke first.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the 2024 LPL Spring Playoffs. I'm your commentator, Miller."
Zeyuan took over the conversation.
Hello everyone, I'm Zeyuan.
Tongxi smiled and waved.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tongxi."
'
'
"Today's match is definitely a heavyweight clash. TES versus JDG, both teams have shown great competitiveness in the regular season, and they are also very familiar with each other."
Zeyuan nodded.
"That's right, especially for TES. The biggest change this season is undoubtedly the addition of Lucifer in the mid lane!"
"This rookie player delivered a remarkable performance in the regular season, helping TES overcome all obstacles and reach the top of the league."
"That's right, today is also Lucifer's first BO05 in his career. Many viewers are discussing whether his regular season performance can be carried over to the playoffs."
"After all, we've seen a lot of talented rookies over the past few years. They've had amazing performances in the regular season, but then they hit the so-called rookie wall in the playoffs."
"This is also one of the biggest suspensees of today's game."
The live stream chat immediately started scrolling.
It's finally here!
Go TES!
[JDG, go go go!]
To be honest, I still favor JD.com more.
Lucifer was indeed strong in the regular season, but it's hard to say in a best-of-five series.
Many newcomers are exposed for their true colors at the B05 stage.
Those who know, know how valuable Redmi's business plan is.
[I'm not trying to be mean, but I feel like JD.com really gave new employees a good lesson today!]
[TES has a higher ceiling, JDG has a more stable floor!]
【————】
JDG rest area.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere at TES, the air here is noticeably heavier.
Redmi stood in front of the tactical board, his marker lightly tapping the table.
"We lost the last match on a 0-3 basis, and I've explained the reasons many times already."
I don't want to repeat myself today.
The lounge was quiet for a few seconds.
Kanavi suddenly spoke.
"That Baron Nashor run was my fault."
"If we had handled things more carefully at the time, the game wouldn't have dragged on so far."
Missing waved goodbye.
"Don't take all the blame upon yourself."
"We made mistakes in the last few waves."
Toothpaste leaned back in his chair and twirled his wrist.
"A loss is a loss."
"We'll fight back today!"
'
'
After a resounding victory over WBG, everyone has adjusted their mindset and has a clear goal!
Redmi nodded slowly, his gaze falling on the TES team logo in the center of the tactics board.
The defeat in our last encounter is still fresh in my mind.
But this time—they've come for revenge!
