LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 397 S8 World Championship Qualifiers Confirmed! Off to the Championship!

"EDG's next competition will be the upcoming World Championship. What are your expectations for their performance in this year's World Championship?"

Ren Dong then inquired.

“Hmm…” Wang Yao thought for a moment, “Our goal is to win the championship. Our goal has always been clear: either we don’t participate, or if we do participate, our goal will always be the championship!”

"Wow!"

Ren Dong seemed quite surprised, then smiled and said, "Then let's wish EDG all the best in this year's World Championship and hope they can win the World Championship title again for our LPL region."

After the interview, the entire EDG team returned to the backstage area.

Abramovich waved his hand, "The league championship prize money will all be distributed to the training and match staff; the club won't take a cut. And also! We can go celebrate properly later!!"

EDG has plenty of money, and the team's perfect performance this year has already met the expectations of EDG's owner, Zhu.

Given EDG's current achievements, it's fair to say that they've captured a large portion of the viewership in the entire LPL region.

If this were done through normal advertising channels, it would be impossible to achieve such good results.

The team members were naturally overjoyed to be able to earn more money.

In the entire EDG team, only Wang Yao received the top salary, Meiko's contract was close to ten million, and Flandre's annual salary was only a few million for an ordinary top laner.

As for Xiaotian and iboy's contracts, they barely exceeded one million. They also don't have any other commercial income. Their live streaming contracts were bundled out by the team, so they don't get much money from them.

So they really need money!
Unlike Wang Yao, who achieved financial freedom at a young age.

On his way to the victory celebration banquet, Wang Yao didn't forget to take out his phone to see how netizens were praising him.

All I can say is that the maggots in the Anti-Stress Bar never disappoint themselves.

After a satisfying meal, the entire EDG team announced that they would be taking a short break.

Because this year's World Championship is being held in South Korea, which isn't too far away, there's no need to adjust to the time difference, and the climate is quite convenient, especially the food.

Therefore, there is no need to gather in advance.

However, the league ended relatively late this year, but the World Championship will start as scheduled.

Therefore, the vacation time was not long. Abu only gave the players a total of 5 days off before they had to come back to reunite and start training for the World Championship.

Although there was supposed to be a 5-day holiday, the team members did not actually leave the team base; instead, they were focused on the upcoming matches.

RNG surprisingly lost to WE in their third-place match, meaning IG secured a World Championship ticket thanks to their slight advantage in league points.

Meanwhile, RW, WE, JD Gaming, and RNG will compete for the last World Championship ticket!

RW, dubbed the "Galactic Battleship," suffered a disappointing defeat against RNG, ending their season prematurely.

Ultimately, RNG and JD Gaming faced off in the final battle!

The summer split version was indeed unfavorable to RNG's performance, but Uzi once again demonstrated his strong individual competitive form!
Kai'Sa delivered three consecutive godlike performances, helping her team narrowly defeat JD Gaming 3-1 and secure the last ticket!
With this, EDG, IG, and RNG will compete in this World Championship!
This result surprised Wang Yao quite a bit.

Judging from the results of the match, he underestimated Uzi and Xiaohu. Fans say that this year is the peak year of Uzi's career, and that statement is not an exaggeration at all.

Even with such a harsh environment in the bottom lane and a less-than-ideal pace of the game, Uzi still managed to carry the team with his exceptional individual skills.

As for Xiaohu, as long as he doesn't play in international matches, his mindset won't be affected. When facing mid-lane players in the LPL league, it's as if he's being blessed by some kind of Eastern mystical power.

Far from being at a disadvantage, he was even able to turn the tables and suppress the opposing mid laner. The stable support from the mid and bot lane duo, along with Letme's ability to withstand pressure against Flandre in the top lane, made him a formidable opponent.

As a result, RNG easily defeated JDG.

"That's outrageous, Uzi." Meiko clicked her tongue repeatedly. "As expected of the eternal god, this Kai'Sa is truly invincible."

Meiko highly approves of Uzi's ability to carry against the meta, and he believes that iboy would have a hard time achieving the same level of absurdity as Uzi.

No one cares if viewers and fans criticize each other, but professional players know perfectly well who is good and who is just slacker.

Uzi's skill level is undeniable.

"Isn't Mid Tiger even more outrageous?" Flandre curled his lip. "It's hard to see the Xiaohu in the World Championship and the Xiaohu in the league as the same person."

“That’s true.” Wang Yao agreed with this statement.

Xiaohu is just that outrageous. His performance in the World Championship is even worse than that of the mid laners from wildcard regions, and his stats are consistently at the bottom.

But within the league, you realize how incredibly skilled this person is.

"Alright, let's not worry about others for now, let's keep an eye on our competitors first." Maokai called the team members together.

The pre-collected data was distributed to the team members.

EDG is the number one seed from the LPL region and can directly advance to the main event. Moreover, according to the draw rules for the World Championship group stage, EDG can also avoid the number one seeds from other regions.

For example, EDG was able to avoid facing LCK's number one seed KT, Europe's number one seed Fnatic, and North America's number one seed Liquid during the group stage.

"The teams that need to be closely watched are actually the second and third seeds from the LCK, namely SKT and Griffin."

Maokai said, "We especially need to keep a close eye on this Griffin team."

“Their players are all very strong individually, especially the mid and jungle players, Tazan and Chaowei. Their performance in ranked games is simply outrageous.”

"Especially Tazan in the jungle, there are three players with a thousand points in the Korean server."

"That's outrageous!" Xiao Tian's eyes widened.

Xiaotian's Rank is average. His Korean server super account's score has been around 500-800 for years. It's not impossible for him to climb higher, but it would take a lot of time.

Xiao Tian didn't want to maintain such a high-intensity training regimen.

Reaching 1000 MMR on the Korean server isn't something you can do overnight, let alone playing three accounts with 1000 MMR on the Korean server. This can't be explained simply by having enough time; it means this person is truly exceptional.

"Is this another Cuzz?" Wang Yao joked. "If you're talking about being good in ranked games, Cuzz can dominate the Korean server with Rek'Sai and maintain a win rate of over 90%, and he still wins in tournaments."

The crowd burst into laughter. In the Chinese server, there was Kid God, and in the Korean server, there was Cuzz. The existence of these people proves one thing.

Sometimes, being good at ranked games doesn't necessarily mean being good at competitive matches.

Otherwise, the Golden Left Hand would still be beaten by Gao Dewei, who is half-buried in the ground.

Cuzz's performance in the LCK shouldn't be this bad.

Of course, except for Wang Yao!
