Chapter 52: My only skill is League of Legends!
Commentator Wang Duoduo shouted, "Congratulations to DRX for defeating championship favorite Samsung 3-1!"
"Advanced to the League of Legends S12 World Championship Finals!"
"What an incredible match, the incredible DRX!"
"They fought their way from the Play-In Stage all the way to the World Championship Finals!"
"They made it to the final from being the fourth seed."
"This is the DRX!"
Countless spectators at the scene were cheering and shouting for DRX.
Such an inspiring story is enough to move anyone.
The live chat was flooded with comments like, "Holy crap! DRX is amazing!"
"This team is really something else, how could they possibly win?"
"Haha, is the strongest dark horse about to be born? Invincible!"
"BeryL is truly amazing! The greatest support player in history has been born!"
"Genshin Impact is still pretty good. He's made it to the World Championship three times in three years, winning one title and finishing as runner-up in the previous two years. He's aiming for the title again this year."
"This is the first time a pilot has reached the finals in his career, haha, why are you crying?"
"Daeford loves to cry, and he cried again this time."
"Samsung is really terrible, especially Supermicro and Peanut."
"When I put these faces together, I felt there was going to be big problems at the World Championship, and sure enough, there was."
"Hehe, this is LCK's number one seed, the one on whom so much hope was placed... fell... seems so familiar."
"How dare you!"
"Samsung is trash. With Supermicro on the team, they'll never win the championship."
By this time, the DRX members had already gone over to shake hands.
Samsung's players were all quite helpless.
Even when he came to bow, he was completely out of his mind.
The commentators also said, "Let's give a round of applause to Samsung too, thank you for your hard work."
"Indeed, they didn't play very well today, but they made it to the semi-finals, which is still a decent result."
"Keep it up, Samsung!"
At this moment, the entire stadium was cheering for DRX.
The interviewees were Deford and BeryL.
When they came out, the scene erupted in cheers.
Especially DeFord, who broke down in tears before he could even answer the host's questions.
Holding the microphone, she bent over, crying.
The commentators were also very emotional, saying:
Go Daiford!
After calming down for a while, DeFord stood up, his eyes red, and said:
"My biggest wish has always been to stand on the highest stage and compete for the world championship, and now that opportunity is right in front of me."
"The only thing I know how to do and the only thing I'm good at is League of Legends. If I can't succeed in what I do best, then I don't know what the point of my life is."
When he finished speaking, he cried again, crying very sadly, but also feeling relieved.
After the translation, domestic players also felt this sentiment and flooded the screen with comments:
"Wow! A true player, Mr. Dai!"
"I can only salute you! It's been so incredibly difficult!"
"Indeed, Mr. Dai has been playing for ten years now, and he has finally made it to the finals. It's not easy."
"Great job, Mr. Dai has gained a lot of fans with his talent, not bad."
"No wonder he was a player who won the championship with EDG back then, awesome!"
"When Mr. Dai first came to LPL, he was a force to be reckoned with. He wiped out UZI, Nami, Xiaosan, and Crystal without leaving a trace."
"Daeford is still pure, which is good."
The commentators were also deeply moved by Deutsche Ford's career journey.
After leaving KT, he has been constantly moving between teams, almost one team per year.
Last year in Hanwha, we almost didn't make it out of the group stage. After a stumbling loss to RNG, we qualified as the second-place team in our group.
Then in the quarterfinals, they faced T1 and were swept 3-0.
DRX had a poor showing in the Spring Split and the Summer Split in the Arena, but still managed to finish last in the Regional Finals.
Starting from last place, they miraculously made it to the World Championship.
Then, miraculously, they took first place in the group, miraculously came back from 0-2 down to win 3-2 and advance to the semifinals. DeFord cried. When they made it to the finals, DeFord cried even more.
"What kind of ending would be worthy of a life of wandering and hardship?"
Wang Duoduo said this.
This resonated even more with netizens.
At the same time, everyone felt that the DRX and Daimler Ford had a tough time.
When the host asked BeryL about it, he smiled and said:
"People have never been very optimistic about us, but this time, we've made it to the finals."
"This feeling is wonderful, we will go all the way to the end and win the final championship!"
The audience cheered them on again.
The frantic shouting continued.
The Top Esports players, after watching the post-match interviews, were deeply moved and unable to calm down for a long time.
Mark remarked with admiration, "Mr. Dai is truly an inspiration."
Left Hand said, "Yeah, we've been playing for ten years, and we've finally made it to the finals."
Jack said, "He can go after the biggest championship now! Tomorrow, guys, we're going to the finals too!"
Gao Tianliang: "Let's get started, I'm already fired up!"
Guo Hao also laughed and said, "Yes, after watching this match, I feel that nothing is impossible."
"Most people thought that Samsung would play T1 in the finals, but now Samsung is out."
"Then tomorrow, we'll eliminate T1 too!"
"Let's do it! Let's do it! Let's get this going!"
The atmosphere within Top Esports reached its peak.
Everyone was full of enthusiasm.
After the match, LPL commentators and streamers expressed their congratulations and feelings to DRX on their Weibo accounts.
And best wishes for Topsports tomorrow.
"Go Top Esports! DRX is a prime example; tomorrow is the day to upset T1!"
"T1 has already lost to RNG once at MSI, so there's no such thing as a curse that they can't lose to LPL teams, and the same goes for Worlds!"
"Go Top Esports! Beat T1 and meet DRX in the finals! I believe in you!"
"We're really counting on you guys! Top Esports will be our focus in international competitions!"
"Hopefully, we'll see Jack and Huozi's post-match interviews around this time tomorrow."
"It's all set for tomorrow, I'm all ready."
Meanwhile, in the South Korean commentary booth...
They also congratulated the DRX team and felt that Samsung was truly a pity.
If it were a match between Samsung and T1, the viewership would have been at its peak, which would have been a huge boon for LCK.
But now that it's DRX versus T1, I have a feeling the finals will be one-sided.
One of the commentators said:
"It seems like T1's fourth championship is just around the corner, because DRX clearly can't beat T1."
"Yes, DRX can beat Samsung, but T1 is really hard for them to get past."
"Because Faker isn't like SuperVery, who's inconsistent in major tournaments."
"T1 is really reassuringly stable. So, can we announce T1 as the champion now? Haha, sorry, I was too impatient."
None of the commentators present thought T1 wouldn't make it to the finals; they all ignored Top Esports.
As a result, everyone ended up discussing only one issue.
Tomorrow, T1 will play Top Esports. Will they win 3-0 or 3-1?
