Chapter 16: Post-match interview, conducted entirely in English, shocked the entire audience!
The North American audience was also shouting:
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
The commentators from the competition area were even more excited, saying:
"The replay wasn't even over yet, oh my god, Fire wants to be the hero who saves the team!"
"You know, that's what a hero is!"
"Fire's Renekton is playing at an extremely high level; he's going to dominate the game!"
"No one at RGE can pose any threat to Fire. As long as Fire is on TES, it will be very difficult for them to lose this game."
"Yes, admittedly, RGE was able to catch the carry and gain a numerical advantage, but in team fights, they were too heavily restricted by Renekton."
"With Graves's terrifying damage, this Ueno pair has completely shut down RGE's lineup."
"This is why TES still holds a huge advantage!"
The LPL commentators were also deeply moved:
"Thankfully, Huozi's solo kill mitigated the damage."
"Otherwise, this team fight would have been a huge loss."
"Although we managed to defend the Baron, we lost some players, and in the next wave, the enemy's carries were all well-equipped."
"After killing Orianna, I think we can take over Baron."
"Huh? Yeah, we can fight. Jack's revived too, we can fight."
In the end, the difference in numbers actually became an advantage for Top Esports.
Lin Jin kept sending signals, gradually gaining more influence within the team.
"I'll go open the dragon's lair and come straight to the fight."
"There are fewer people on the other side. If they come, we'll fight. It's okay, we can win. Trust me."
The teammates unconsciously listened to Lin Jin's instructions and found them to be very reasonable.
Meanwhile, Rogue was also frantically trying to defend against Baron.
But neither of the carries has respawned yet, and the jungler wants to steal the dragon at the last moment. How can we stop him?
Are we really going to steal the dragon?
However, just as the top laner was about to scout ahead, Lin Jin rushed over without hesitation, bit him, and started fighting relentlessly.
Gao Tianliang followed up with damage and killed the barrel.
Another pigeon died.
This dragon was completely beyond defense.
It seems they should release it.
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause.
With Top Esports securing the Baron, the outcome of the game is likely decided.
In the final push to the high ground, Zuo Shou also had a rough time.
The Tsar went in and pushed, but missed. Then he pressed on Central Asia, stood there as punishment, was forced to get up, and was instantly killed.
This high ground team almost lost.
Then, the mad crocodile unleashed its ultimate attack, creating an incredibly oppressive atmosphere.
Forced to use Flash, Lin Jin charged into the inhibitor tower and killed Orianna.
He led the team to victory in one fell swoop.
Commentator: "Congratulations to Top Esports for defeating Rookie in a crucial match, securing their second victory in the group stage!"
"This match was hard-won; the process was quite tortuous."
"After winning this point, both Top Esports and Rookie are now in a 2-1 situation, with two wins and one loss."
"Huh? It seems DRX also has two wins and one loss. So in this group, all three teams have two wins and one loss. It's a pity for GAM, with a score of 0-3, they haven't won their first game yet."
After the competition, Jack Spicy Dance also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
As he stood up and walked towards the other side, he hugged Lin Jin on the way, expressing his gratitude to Lin Jin.
"Your crocodile is really good."
Lin Jin smiled and said, "Shake hands first, shake hands first."
After the handshake, the camera kept switching between Lin Jin and Jack La Wu.
The staff also told Lin Jin that he would be the one giving the official interview later, and that he needed to be prepared.
This is Lin Jin's first interview at the World Championship.
He was taken aback, thinking that he wouldn't be interviewed so soon, given that there were too many big-name players in the team.
After walking through the players' corridor and arriving at the lounge, Guo Hao hugged each of them at the door.
"Well played, you've worked hard."
"Well done, brothers, you guys are awesome."
"Take a break, take a break."
The white crescent moon also greeted everyone with a smile, except for Lin Jin.
The two didn't even greet each other.
Guo Hao laughed loudly: "Brothers, you're awesome! We can win tough battles too!"
"Everyone, take a break. We'll be preparing for the interview shortly."
"Small fire, official channel."
"Jack, this is the official LPL stream."
"Xiaotian is going to the LMS region, and ZuoShou is going to the European region."
"Alright, everyone get ready."
With this match concluded, the first round of the group stage was over, and official interviews from various regions began.
Lin Jin was assigned to the official interview area. The North American interview team had contacted him in advance and discussed the general questions.
Since this was Lin Jin's first time being interviewed on the world stage, the staff were worried that he might be nervous, so they communicated with him in Chinese.
Lin Jin smiled slightly: "Thank you, I can understand what you are saying, but my spoken English is not very good."
Then he said in English, "Did you hear me clearly?"
The interviewer seemed slightly surprised, and her blue eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Jin a few more times:
"Yes, I can understand you. Your spoken English is already quite good."
"Haha, I suspect that the Chinese translator for later might not be needed."
Lin Jin smiled, easing some of his inner tension.
We soon arrived at the interview area, and the interview officially began.
After the host's fluent opening remarks, the camera was turned to Lin Jin.
Lin Jin exhaled and said in English:
"Hello everyone, I'm Fire, the top laner from Top Esports in the LPL region."
Ouch?
Your English is very fluent.
The audience members and online viewers were all quite surprised.
At the same time, Lin Jin's interview was also broadcast live on the LPL's live stream.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jin also knew English, and the screen immediately went blank.
"Wow, that's awesome, Huozi-ge."
"You're very well-educated, haha."
"There can't just be this one sentence, can there?"
"Is he practicing specifically for interviews? He gets stuck as soon as he encounters a professional question."
"Yeah, Brother Huo just wanted to show off."
However, soon after the host asked a question, Lin Jin thought for a moment and began to answer directly in English.
One question after another, very smoothly, with very few lags.
Apart from the somewhat formal language, everything else is impeccable.
This completely shocked everyone present!
North American fans were also expressing their feelings:
"Is this a player from the LPL region? Why is his English so good?"
"Oh! Shit! Even better than some of the contestants in our region with heavy accents."
"It's impossible not to like this Fire player."
"Oh, I declare myself a fan!"
The LPL commentators and viewers were even more shocked, and the chat was flooded with comments:
"Huh? What are you saying? I don't understand. Can you translate?"
"Wow, Huozi is going international! Awesome!"
"Wow, Huozi, that's impressive! Your English is so good!"
"A college student is still a college student."
"Most college students don't have English as good as him."
"Brother Huo is a real hidden talent!"
