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

Chapter 516: Domestically, they slack off and coast; externally, they launch a powerful attack!
However, the Baron buff was still active, and EDG members and Wang Yao didn't want to delay any longer.

After accumulating a wave of minions in the mid lane, they began to push the high ground tower.

G2 was determined to defend their last line of defense, but by then the economic gap between the two sides had almost reached 10,000!
At this point, trying to defend is simply wishful thinking!
EDG's entire team built stopwatches, a high-risk, high-reward item, so they weren't afraid of team fights or unexpected situations.

G2, on the other hand, seemed to be struggling even to deal damage.

Immediately, Flandre's men launched a full-scale attack!

What followed was EDG's overwhelming offensive.

Perkz's Draven learned his lesson this time, standing at the very back, but someone always has to step forward, and this time it was Wunder's Neeko.

Neeko, who didn't have Flash, was instantly killed after being targeted by Vi.

The rest of G2 ran back to their base fountain without looking back, hoping to recover some health before coming out to fight EDG again.

But they were overthinking it.

After the minion wave, fueled by the Baron buff, surged onto the high ground tower, EDG immediately began dismantling the inhibitor turrets.

The Three Earth Dragons were too monstrous; in just two seconds, a perfectly intact tower was reduced to ruins.

The doll had already stood up, waiting for the final moment:

"G2's four players rushed out for a final gamble, but one of their inhibitor towers is already gone."

"Right now, all EDG needs to do is take down the towers, just focus on destroying them! They don't need to do anything else, just keep attacking the towers!!"

Miller said with certainty, "It's too late! It's too late!"

Before Miller could finish speaking, another turret collapsed with a roar, exposing the exposed G2 base crystal to everyone.

"Click the crystal, click the crystal! We won! We won!"

Special guest commentator Ah Shui almost jumped onto the table, as if he were the ADC player on the field.

As he finished speaking, Vi raised her iron fist and slammed it into the crystal. The scene froze and pulled back!

The doll suddenly screamed:

"Congratulations to EDG! They won the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational! An absolute domination!"

Miller: "Yes! This also marks the LPL region's second consecutive MSI championship. Congratulations to Wang Yao on successfully defending his title. Last year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational was won by Wang Yao's team!"

"Wow... After this best-of-five series, EDG has become the three-time MSI champion of our LPL region. They are the only team in the world to achieve this, second only to SKT's three championships."

Ah Shui also smiled and shook his head:

"Congratulations to EDG! Congratulations to Kshine! Yao-ge's boast has come true again."

"From the start of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational until now, they haven't lost a single best-of-three, best-of-five, or even best-of-one match! The LPL's champion team truly deserves the title!"

At this moment, the EDG players took off their headphones, celebrated briefly, and then lined up to walk towards G2's bench.

When Wang Yao, who was leading the group, arrived at G2's seat, the first thing he saw was A-P's face.

A bizarrely distorted face, clearly wearing a mask of pain, yet a strange expression seemed to linger on it.

It was like a helpless, bitter smile, or perhaps a sense of relief.

A-P is also one of the players who shed tears on the field!

At the S7 World Championship, G2 Esports, where Perkz played, was already eliminated from the quarterfinals. During the champion selection phase of the match, Perkz covered his face and cried.

In addition to being eliminated in the group stage, he also learned that after this match, his four teammates would be leaving, leaving only Perkz to stay with G2.

He really cried!
I originally thought that S8 would be a brand new beginning for me, and for G2 as well.

But unexpectedly, the demon king of the LCK region retreated behind the scenes, but a new demon king, an even more terrifying demon king, has shrouded the sky of LOL!
However, two years have passed, and their mentality has matured. Of course, this guy has a really good mentality; he treats losing and winning the same.

Seeing Wang Yao walking over, Ah P even raised his fist and bumped fists with him:
"Although we're a little unhappy about losing, we accept that we lost to you!"

Although there was still a hint of helplessness on Ah P's face, his tone was very sincere!
In today's best-of-five series, EDG didn't have a perfect record; they made mistakes along the way.

But whether it's operations or team fights, they completely crushed G2 in every aspect of online play!
No matter what G2 did, EDG did it better. This undeniable victory truly convinced him.

The other members of G2 did the same; when Wang Yao and the others came over, they shook hands first and then bumped fists with each other.

During the match between Jonkos and Wunder, Jonkos was beaten so badly by Wang Yao that his face was contorted and he was gritting his teeth.

However, once the competition ended, they quickly recovered from the endless torment of it.

They accepted their defeat gracefully and also expressed their respect for EDG's performance today.

Stepping out of the G2 match room, the venue was now a sea of ​​cheers, with deafening screams and shouts.

Saint Gun Bro's mouth was practically split open from laughing.

Miller also tried to calm himself down and gave his opponent a lot of praise:
"This year's G2 has brought us a lot of surprises. They can be said to be the strongest team ever assembled in Europe and America!"

"But due to the difference in strength, they ultimately fell to EDG."

"Because their opponents are EDG and Kshine! They are the strongest players in LPL history!"

"EDG is on its way to the trophy! The overwhelming dominance of EDG in this BO5 was very obvious."

As the five men stood before the trophy and bowed in gratitude, cheers and screams suddenly surged, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

The substitutes, along with coaches Zhu Kai and Maokai, jumped onto the stage and joined the starting five in raising the dazzling MSI championship trophy.

Amid cheers from the crowd, golden rain fell.

Ah Shui, wearing an earphone, looked at the scene before him, which seemed both familiar and strange. Coming to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh:
"This is EDG's third MSI trophy in team history, and Kshine's second MSI trophy."

"Kshine has continued his undefeated reign! Congratulations again to EDG! Congratulations to Kshine!"

Ah Shui has perfectly embodied the role of commentator, staring blankly at the smiling face on the stage!

However, what he didn't know was that the director had already turned the camera on him at some point.

While Ah Shui was still in a daze, the EDG team once again surrounded Wang Yao and led him to the center, where Wang Yao raised the trophy with one hand.

His cool expression, powerful aura, and unparalleled strength caused an uproar among the audience.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah."

"Kshine! Kshine! I love you."

Wow, so many female fans?! I'm so envious!

"Holy crap, he's actually kind of handsome! I'm smitten, what should I do?!"

"If you're a brother, go and fight!"

"Hahaha, if you're a brother, come and chop me up!"

"..."

The entire audience erupted in deafening shouts that lasted for a very long time, as if they wouldn't stop until Wang Yao gave up.

Seeing this, Ah Shui also showed a genuine smile:

"Now it's time for everyone to take turns lifting the trophy. First up is Kshine, who performed exceptionally well! He's also the soul of EDG!"

Next up is top laner Flandre.

Flandre raised the trophy high above his head, and the crowd cheered again. The skinny Flandre was so excited that his face turned red.

Even their strength seemed to have increased.

He picked up the trophy again after putting it down, and the audience cheered again to show their appreciation. Only then did Flandre reluctantly put it down.

No one would think that Flandre was being nosy. A world-class championship is an honor that countless players dream of but can never attain. It's no wonder that he was so excited to win it.

In this final match, Flandre's performance was entirely deserving of this trophy.

In every draft phase, his top laner was always the one to sacrifice, but he always withstood the pressure.

In the final game in particular, he picked an unpopular champion, but managed to solo kill Neeko, a champion with long range, in lane.

Scout, iboy, Meiko, Factory Manager, Zhu Kai, and Maokai then took turns holding the trophy and posing for photos.

The MSI Mid-Season Invitational lasted for several days, from the group stage to the finals. All the players competed on stage and each gave their part!

This honor belongs to them!

UZI, who was watching the live broadcast of the match from China, was practically drooling with envy.

He was a guest commentator at the semi-finals, and he didn't really feel anything yet.

But now, looking at the screen, the familiar MSI Mid-Season Invitational, the familiar Wang Yao, all of this is out of reach for me.

In an instant, a sense of sorrow welled up in my heart!
Looking at the commentary booth, Ah Shui, who was also a guest commentator like himself, was laughing like a complete idiot.

It gave him a feeling of "This station's reporter Yu Wenbo is reporting for you," which made him feel a little more at ease.

Upon seeing Wang Yao, who remained calm in the center of the stage, a thought suddenly popped into UZI's mind.

Whoever wins Kshine wins the world!

He doesn't think he's much weaker than Jackeylove or iboy; what he lacks is a strong player who can carry the team alongside him!
If we could get Wang Yao into RNG... oh no, I mean if he could personally go to EDG to play ADC, wouldn't that be amazing?!
The more UZI thought about it, the brighter his eyes became, but they quickly dimmed again. He was already in such a sorry state at RNG, why would he want to hurt others too?!
Ever since RNG suffered a crushing defeat at S8 last year, Uzi has felt that something is increasingly wrong!

It felt like I had fallen into a sinkhole.

It wasn't just Uzi who had this thought; Faker was also sitting in front of the computer screen at the base, watching the game.

After SKT was quickly sent home by Wang Yao during the elimination rounds, he booked a flight back to China overnight.

At that moment, Faker stared blankly at the computer screen. The jubilation on the screen contrasted sharply with the desolation inside the SKT base, creating a sense of disorientation. It felt like a lifetime had passed!

It's only been a little over two years since Faker achieved the glory of winning three world championships, and now even Faker himself can't see SKT clearly anymore.

At this moment, the EDG team had finished celebrating on the stage of the Taipei Peace Basketball Arena.

During the female host's congratulatory remarks, a group of people walked onto the stage from the other side.

The EDG players were filled with curiosity; none of them looked familiar, so they probably weren't Riot Games officials.

"This is?!"

"It's TPA!"

But a low gasp from below the stage made everyone in EDG turn their heads. iboy didn't react for a moment: "What TPA?"

Meiko rolled her eyes at him, somewhat speechless: "The S2 World Champion Assassin!!"

"oh oh!"

iboy reacted instantly.

Then the host's voice came over, confirming Meiko's words.

"Let's welcome the members of the S2 World Championship TPA! Stanley, Lilballz, TOYZ, and MisTakE to present our championship trophy! Please welcome them."

The TPA members looked at the audience with smiles on their faces, their eyes filled with nostalgia.

Now they are all overweight and no longer young, but the familiar stage has once again awakened the memories buried deep in their hearts, and it still makes people's blood boil.

The EDG members were somewhat surprised, and the viewers watching the live stream were also filled with sighs, as this could be considered the last glory of the LMS.

The LMS was once one of the five major regions, and it was also a region with three spots in the World Championship.

However, they failed to win anything at this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational, and didn't even make it to the knockout stage.

The fact that Riot Games specifically chose to hold the World Championship Finals in Taiwan this year makes its intentions quite clear.

If Flash Wolves (FW) can achieve a respectable result at this year's Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), Riot Games might reconsider keeping the region in the competition.

But if the LMS region has turned out like this, then you can't blame Riot Games for being ruthless.

In fact, the LMS region gradually declined after 2017, and Riot Games has been rumored to be officially disbanding it at the end of 2019.

Today, LMS may seem to have inherited its legacy, but it has long since lost its soul.

The glorious history of LMS can also be said to be the glorious history of Flash Wolves (FW).

During the LMS's history from its inception to its disbandment, from 2015 to 2019, Flash Wolves won a total of 7 championships.

Moreover, they have achieved a unique seven-year winning streak, meaning they did not lose a single game in the LMS from the Spring Split of 2016 to the Spring Split of 2019.

Flash Wolves' dominance made them a part of many people's memories in the LMS, especially for Taiwanese esports viewers, where it held special significance.

Although Flash Wolves were invincible in the LMS, they have never won a World Championship.

They had a strong group stage performance, defeating South Korea twice, but ultimately failed to win a single game in the best-of-five series in the knockout stage.

The long reign of the "King of Domestic Wars" title has led many talented players, coaches, commentators, directors, and other related staff in the LMS region to seek new opportunities.

Starting in 2018, a large number of Taiwanese players flocked to the LPL in search of broader opportunities for development.

Among them is Karsa, the core representative of Flash Wolves and their jungler.

Subsequently, other outstanding Taiwanese players, such as SwordArt, FOFO, Maple, Betty, ShiauC, Doggo, and others, emerged.

Coaches like Maokai, Green Tea, Steak, and Char Siu, and commentators like Remember and Long Hair.

The loss of talent has caused LMS's strength and influence to decline rapidly.

让人印象最深刻的就是2018年全球总决赛上，LMS赛区的3支代表队，在小组赛打出了3-15的总战绩，其中有2个是0-6。

But there's no limit to how outrageous things can get.

This year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational has reduced FW Flash Wolves to fighting wildcard teams for a spot in the playoffs, and the crucial point is that they haven't managed to snatch it yet.

However, the true glory of the LMS did not begin with FW Flash Wolves. The earlier glory of the LMS region can be traced back to the TPA team, Taipei Assassins!
The main reason why LMS is considered one of the five major regions is that TPA won the S2 championship, and the World Championship spots were all won by TPA with this championship.

"Holy crap! The original TPA team was invited to present the award. The Taiwanese authorities really went all out this time."

"I cried, a legendary TPA!"

"Hey, why are you crying? LMS knows it's over and is starting to play the emotional card!"

"Alas, it's all about timing and fate. I hope my LPL can keep winning and not wither away like the LMS."

At the host's prompting, the TAP members picked up their medals and walked towards the EDG members. The chubby Stanley walked up to Wang Yao:
"Congratulations on winning the championship! I watched every single one of your matches, and I really like your playing style. I hope you can keep it up."

Wang Yao nodded in thanks: "Thank you!"

After TPA presented the awards to everyone, the host once again took to the stage with a beaming smile:
"First of all, congratulations again to EDG for winning this MSI championship. Next, I will present the FMVP of this MSI Mid-Season Invitational."

Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in cheers, and the host immediately raised his voice, shouting:
"The winner of this award will be determined by a joint vote of experts and media professionals from thirteen competition regions. It is the one everyone expects! He is the one!"

"EDG's jungler, Kshine!!"

Amid cheers and applause from the audience, Wang Yao received the MVP trophy, or more accurately, the medal, for this year's MSI.

The MVP trophy is different every year, but this year's MVP medal is really hard to describe.

However, it doesn't matter how the honor is manifested; what matters is the honor itself!
Everyone knows and acknowledges that he was the MVP of this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational, and that's enough.

Wow!
As Wang Yao raised the MVP medal with one hand, a roar that seemed to shake the heavens erupted from the audience.

"Kshine! Kshine!"

"I love you so much! Ahhhhhh!"

"Brother Yao is awesome! Awesome!"

"..."

Looking at Wang Yao, who is the center of attention like a galaxy of stars, along with Ah Shui, Uzi, Faker, Rookie, and Mlxg...

Many well-known professional players also fell silent.

Apart from Ah Shui, who was a specially invited commentator, the others were all in the off-season.

However, none of them took a break; instead, they continued to work hard in ranked games to prepare for the upcoming Summer Split.

They ignored the taunts and sarcastic remarks of the haters and continued to train very hard.

In their spare time between playing ranked games, they also kept an eye on the final winner of the MSI tournament and witnessed Wang Yao lifting the trophy.

PDD and Deyunse, who were once professional players but have now become streamers, also suddenly fell silent in their streams.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

"clatter!"

Inside the De Yun Se live stream, Baldy lit a bottle of "Happy Source" cigarette and said leisurely, "How many MVPs has he got? I've almost lost count!"

"There have been many. It seems that since the S7 World Championship two years ago, he has won the championship every time he plays in international competitions, and he has been the FMVP every time."

The child, resting his hands on the bed and leaning back, said with a touch of melancholy, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

In recent years, Wang Yao has been at an unparalleled level in EDG. His teammates have come and gone, but he has always been able to win.

They can still win in completely different positions, from ADC in the bottom lane to mid lane, and then from mid lane to jungle. I wonder if they will switch to top lane or support next year!

Outrageous, too outrageous!
"Kshine is really fierce."

“I’ve watched every single one of his games since he started playing in the S7 World Championship, including his regular streams and ranked games.”

"He just coasted through the domestic spring season and didn't play much, but once he entered the international competition, he went all out!"

Fatty Sika shook his head, genuinely impressed.

Even if he wanted to criticize Wang Yao, he couldn't find anything to criticize!

"Let me share another little-known fact, a very exaggerated number that you may not have noticed: I have compiled statistics on all of his matches."

"From ADC to mid laner to jungler, he used a total of 79 different champions! And every single game had memorable moments!"

Sika continued talking to herself.

"What does this mean?! League of Legends has only had a little over a hundred champions so far, and he's used almost half of them!"

"You guys always say you'll never know how deep Kshine's champion pool is! Now you know! His champion pool is all those hundred-plus champions in League of Legends!"

"Very few people have impressed me. Even Dafei, whom I occasionally tease, is someone I truly admire from the bottom of my heart!!"

Sika became more and more excited as she spoke.

Similar scenarios were observed simultaneously in various live streaming rooms.

Everyone admires this man from the bottom of their hearts!

Meanwhile, the chat rooms of various streamers and professional players were constantly flooded with comments.

"Hahaha, is this Kshine's true strength? They coast through domestic battles but deliver devastating blows in international ones!"

"Hilarious! He's practically unknown in China, but he won the FMVP award overseas in the blink of an eye."

"I've been a fan of Yao Ge for ten years, and I'm here uninvited!"
