Chapter 78: Lin Jin is the new 'King'!
Chapter 78: Lin Jin is the new 'King'!
"The king of top in this game!"
The official League of Legends Twitter account stated that Jhin is the "King" of the top lane in this World Championship!
Some clubs even commented that the word "top lane" could be removed, saying that Lin Jin is the strongest player in this World Championship, without any qualifiers.
This is the greatest affirmation for Lin Jin.
After this battle, Lin Jin's popularity overseas skyrocketed, making him arguably the most sought-after star player this year.
As of this moment, he has already surpassed Faker.
The cheers continued throughout the stadium during the match.
Lin Jin and Zuo Shou were invited as interview guests.
As soon as the two came out, the shouts from below were deafening.
Most of them were shouting for Lin Jin.
The commentators from North America also expressed their feelings.
"Look, this is the popularity of Fire right now."
"Indeed, today was truly a battle that cemented Fire's legendary status. He seized the opportunity and fought exceptionally well."
"We can see that Fire wasn't the core of the tactics, but he still delivered an outstanding performance. That's what dominance is all about."
"I can already foresee his final showdown with Kingen, and Lin Jin will once again be in the lead without any doubt."
The host waited until the audience's shouts subsided slightly before she began to speak:
First of all, congratulations to TES for defeating T1 3-0 and advancing to the finals of the World Championship!
"We've invited Fire and Knight. Let them say hello to everyone first."
Lin Jin and Zuo Shou picked up the microphones and introduced themselves.
Shouts rang out again from the crowd.
The host, all smiles, first asked Lin Jin:
"Fire, this is your first time participating in the World Championship and you've already made it to the finals. How does it feel?"
Lin Jin, holding the microphone, shouted loudly, "I'm in a fantastic mood!"
"I'm so happy! I'm so excited!"
After saying that, he waved his hand in a victory gesture.
The audience cheered again.
When asked about his left hand, he smiled and said:
"I'm very happy to have made it to the finals; this has been my dream for a long time."
The host continued, "As the mid-laner Knight who will be facing Faker today, how much pressure are you under? Do you feel a lot of pressure?"
"Please also comment on your opponent's performance."
Left Hand said very sincerely, "I think Faker performed very well. He has always been the strongest mid laner in the world."
"I feel excited to be able to match up against him, but I also feel a lot of pressure."
"He was a formidable opponent."
The audience gave him a very enthusiastic round of applause.
The host asked Lin Jin:
"Fire, you won MVP in the third and second games today, and you also won the MVP of this series."
"What are your thoughts on this? Why were you such a carry today?!"
Lin Jin smiled as well:
"I'm grateful to my teammates. I might have been able to gain an advantage in the laning phase, but my teammates were able to turn it into a winning position for me."
"In team fights, they will create opportunities for me to deal damage."
"Therefore, most of the heroes I play are damage-dealing types. I am very grateful to them; it is their dedication that has made me who I am today."
After he finished speaking, Zuo Shou looked at him somewhat embarrassed and shook his head.
The host immediately brought the microphone closer, asking if the left hand had a different opinion.
Zuo Shou added, "He's right. Actually, he always gives us feedback whenever he has an advantage."
"He provided a lot of help and opportunities for our two core players to contribute."
"Small fire is really powerful!"
The LPL live stream chat was flooded with messages:
"Wow! Everyone's being so considerate. What a wonderful atmosphere!"
"Invincible, invincible atmosphere, no wonder."
"Haha, Brother Huo is truly great! No need for further explanation!"
"My left hand can talk, so I'll talk more, but it's a little hard to hear clearly."
Several commentators also remarked that Lin Jin was truly great.
The mention of his left hand made Lin Jin a little embarrassed. He waved his hand, but thankfully the host continued with the next question:
"For a long time, there has been a saying that T1 and Faker are the nightmare of the LPL region."
"You've never beaten T1 and Faker in the World Championship knockout stage before. What are your thoughts on that?"
The left hand spoke first:
"Yes, we've never won before, but we won today, and we're very happy."
Lin Jin then said:
"The concepts of nightmares and nightmares are all fictional."
"Only the strongest fist matters."
"We are stronger than T1, so winning is that simple."
"Hopefully, we can become the nightmare of the LCK region in the future."
Ouch!
These words invigorated all the major competition regions.
Viewers in the North American region are also discussing it enthusiastically:
"Oh my god! These are the words of the strongest person in my heart!"
"Fire is a true hero, that's so true!"
"Haha, this is Fire! He's going to be the nightmare of LCK."
"The world is about to turn into a two-way reversal, Fire is really scary."
"Could it be that a new GOAT (God of League of Legends) is about to be born?"
"Let's win a championship first, but I think that's too much of an exaggeration."
Everyone thought this scene was incredibly satisfying, and LPL viewers flooded the screen with comments.
"66666! Huozi is awesome!"
"That's the real Huozi Ge! Haha, that's absolutely amazing!"
"Damn, that was awesome! Huozi Bro! I'll be a fan of yours forever!"
"This is what LPL players should be saying!"
"Tough! Huozi is both handsome and tough!"
Left Hand didn't expect Lin Jin to say that, and for a moment he hid with a smile.
Of course, the translator phrased it rather tactfully, but it still drew cheers from the audience.
The next question asked about their feelings and goals regarding their encounter with the DRX team in the finals.
I'll start with my left hand:
"We played against DRX in the group stage and we won, so we will definitely win the finals as well."
Lin Jin then said directly:
"DRX reaching the finals as the fourth seed is already a miracle. I'm taking the championship now."
Oh dear, another provocative remark.
After the interview, the LCK commentators were filled with helplessness.
"Sigh, even though Fire was the better team today, saying those things really hurt me..."
"We are very dissatisfied because the championship has not yet been decided, yet it seems as if it is already in Top Esports' pocket."
"This is what LPL calls underestimating the opponent and becoming arrogant. I think it has already been shown in Fire."
"But they are indeed very powerful, aren't they?"
"We have to admit that Top Esports played well today, and that Fire is very strong. Is that so hard?"
"Furthermore, I have to give T1 a scathing critique!"
"They were swept 3-0 by Top Esports! This is truly a disgrace to the LCK!"
"Faker's later career was also tarnished."
"Being eliminated in the semifinals for two consecutive years is not a mistake, but being swept 0-3 by an LPL team, is this what a League of Legends GOAT should do?"
