LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 174 Final 1:0, crushing victory

The final will still be held at the Olympic Stadium.

The game was scheduled to start at 14: PM, and the EDG team arrived at the backstage of the venue early to prepare.

Before the show started, in addition to the appearance, there was a small championship trophy presentation.

The MSI championship trophy is different from the LPL Silver Dragon Cup. Its shape is similar to the Hercules Cup in the football world, which is very consistent with the local football colors of Brazil.

In the LPL official live broadcast room at 1 a.m.

The popularity is extremely high.

I heard that Brazilian football superstar Ronaldo will be presenting the award after we win the championship. Is this true?

[It’s true. Qin Shi Huang said it himself.]

[Stop talking nonsense, just cheer for EDG and that's it.]

[Brothers, don't be nervous. Master Lin said last night that we're guaranteed to win.]

[After defeating SKT, why would they be afraid of a tiny G2?]

Is LPL finally going to top the international competition? I'm so excited.

After two years of decline, all LPL viewers are waiting and ready to witness the glory.

On the main English commentary desk, the official specially released a comparison of pre-match predictions.

Including those from Europe and the United States, as well as China and South Korea who participated in the commentary work, nearly 20 commentators almost unanimously believed that EDG would shut out G3 0:2.

The only commentator who made a different prediction was Caedrel from Europe.

"All kidding aside, I think G2 should win a game. After all, they always have something new to show off, and maybe they can catch EDG by surprise."

"Of course, that's all."

As a European commentator, who doesn't want G2 to win the championship? But EDG's dominance since the LPL Spring Split has been outrageous. They maintained their form and continued it into the MSI in the middle of the year.

Caedrel feels that predicting a one-game win for G2 is already a great compliment to the team.

There was no grand opening performance.

The moment the stage lights came on, the MSI championship trophy was already standing on the central platform.

Under the resounding cheers, the two teams competing for the championship came on stage one after another. The first was the powerful favorite to win the championship EDG.

The big screen showed the highlights of the journey since the MSI group stage. The scene of Lin Ruo's Caitlyn's pentakill against SKT shone through the audience.

Applause broke out unconsciously at the scene, as well as endless screams from LPL fans, which accounted for about one-third of the audience.

Sure enough, what the Chinese team has the most is supporters from compatriots around the world.

No matter where the game is or where they are, you can always see their enthusiastic figures.

Lin Ruo waved and stared at the golden championship trophy.

Can't wait to hold it and taste it.

As all the G2 members appeared one after another, the two sides had a brief encounter and then took their seats.

In the Chinese commentary booth.

The people responsible for the commentary today are Miller, Jide and Rita.

The same partner lineup as the LPL Spring Finals.

"Hello, good evening, everyone! Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends MSI Mid-Season Invitational Finals. After an intense and brutal group stage and elimination round, EDG, representing our LPL team, has finally made it to the finals. I believe everyone watching before the live broadcast is just as excited as we are for the upcoming performances."

"It's not that cruel. After all, EDG has only lost one game since MSI."

In a heavy atmosphere, remember to be the first to break the deadlock.

A sweet smile spread across Rita's face. "I witnessed EDG win the Spring Split championship last time, and I believe I can witness them create a new milestone this time as well."

"Yeah, but European fans are also looking forward to it. After all, after 2151 days, they finally see a European team reach the finals again."

Miller interjected.

At this time, a large number of European viewers poured into the live broadcast room of the European broadcast channel.

I prayed to God for five days, and God told me that G2 could only win one game at most.

[No, the God you prayed to is fake. The God I prayed to told me that G2 can win three games.]

Man, how much did you drink from God?

[Believe in G2. What? The opponent is EDG, who shut out SKT. Just ignore what I said.]

【As we all know, G2 never disappoints others when it comes to disappointing others, so I think we can win.】

[Just don't lose too badly. I'm still quite optimistic.]

[Hmm, is that so? I feel like if I lose I'll just keep saying "Fuck" all the time.]

On the EDG player bench.

After debugging the equipment, everyone chatted for a while.

"Have you bought your plane tickets?"

Lin Ruo rubbed his hair as he spoke.

Tian Ye smiled and said, "Mingkai is ordering it downstairs. He can go back with the trophy tomorrow."

Ah Guang coughed and said, "Don't even mention whether or not to get a ticket. To be honest, it's a bit unlucky."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter as long as Brother Lin is here."

Ai Loli shows loyalty as always.

Scout smiled but said nothing, with only one thought in his mind: Can he play Lucian this time?

Nofe said he didn't know, the BP depends on the bottom lane.

In the commentary booth, the three of them were chatting animatedly. After receiving a prompt from the on-site director, Miller excitedly said, "Alright everyone, the match is ready. EDG is on the blue side, G2 is on the red side. Let's move on to the draft."

As soon as the words fell, the BP screen appeared.

The first three bans of both sides were very quick.

EDG: LeBlanc, Fizz, Olaf.

G2: Lulu, Karma, and Zyra.

"EDG's bans are quite comprehensive. G2's familiar triple-press support is a common tactic used against EDG right now. The bottom lane is too intimidating."

"EDG grabbed Lee Sin first, but didn't want Galio? Then G2 locked in Empyrean and paired it with Tahm Kench."

EDG still did not choose to play Galio, who performed brilliantly in the BO5, and G2 finally won.

"I feel like EDG should have a response."

Miller guessed, and saw EDG locking down a Captain on the third floor.

Mouse playing Captain? Cool. Isn't he a bit too arrogant? It feels like he doesn't even take the other team seriously.

[The Captain can indeed limit Galio's roaming and his own support. ]

After the second ban, G2 chose Ashe and paired it with Tam.

Seeing this, EDG locked down Kog'Maw and Braum.

"To be honest, EDG's lineup change today was a bit big." Jide shook his head. He never expected that the bottom lane would not play strong.

"Then the lineups for both sides have been finalized."

Miller and Rita said one after another: "On the blue side, EDG has Gangplank on top, Lee Sin on the jungle, Syndra on the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo of Kog'Maw and Braum."

"On the red side, G2, top laner Galio, jungler Empyrean, mid laner Ahri, and the bottom lane duo of Ashe and Tahm Kench."

"G2Counter's choice of Ahri was mainly to facilitate Galio's entry. EDG's Gangplank can indeed put considerable pressure on Galio in the early game."

Amid the cheers of the audience, ten people from both sides quickly entered the Summoner's Rift.

The MSI final night begins.

In the first level group fight, G2 stood in a regular long snake formation, standing in an orderly manner from top to bottom.

EDG imitated SKT and formed a five-man team in the middle lane and headed straight for the river bush. They caught the fox crouching in the bush at the small entrance to the red team's lower jungle area and immediately used flash.

The LPL fans at the scene suddenly shouted.

But they would never have thought that just after 2 minutes, EDG launched a second wave of actions and gained the advantage.

All this stems from G2's proactive attack.

G2 jungler Trick took a slightly different route in this game, choosing to start from F6, eating red and brushing stone beetles. It was obvious that he was trying to level up and catch the top three, hoping to use this to train the Captain.

Without saying much, the level 3 Cui Shenhua came to the upper river to crouch. The Captain and Galio had a small friction over the center line. A Guang established a slight advantage with the help of the Fire Knife.

During the chase, Expect controlled Galio to retreat towards the river to show weakness. The Captain chased him closely and was controlled by a sudden thorn in the grass.

Green God's Q skill!
A Guang immediately woke up, ate the orange in seconds and retreated. Cui Shen's Q skill expired too quickly, causing Trick to only advance halfway.

Using the barrel previously placed in the middle line, the Captain released a second double barrel, slowing down Galio who was coming up with the Justice Punch.

"This explosive barrel slowed him down, and he successfully dodged Galio's knock-up. Mouse's operation was very clever. He flashed in the opposite direction to avoid the two pursuers. He returned to the river through the triangle grass under the red tower. It seemed that he had escaped. The Lee Sin who was farming the red buff came up. Is he going to counterattack?"

Ai Loli leaned against the dragon pit wall to block the view, and the chasing Ecpect was completely unaware of it. Seeing the captain turn around to set up the barrel, he decisively flashed forward with W.

The sound wave was thrown out and hit the Green God who came out of the triangle grass. Ai Loli was not stupid enough to attack a tank. His target from the beginning to the end was the Green God, who was a fragile skin.

He went up and used a set of skills to take away almost half of the Captain's health, then turned around and used W to protect the Captain who was being taunted.

A Guang’s blood volume is already very unhealthy.

Trick flashed back and wanted to kill the captain who was low on health.

Another bite of the orange refreshed, and the captain maintained his health.

Trick was shocked and realized that he was impulsive, but he didn't dodge and was inevitably entangled by the blind monk.

Chasing all the way, with the second sound wave hitting, Ai Loli took the first blood.

"Hey, it doesn't seem to be the first blood."

Miller suddenly said, and at this time the camera switched to the bottom lane where a kill had already occurred.

Braum fell down with a loud bang.

Lin Ruo's Kog'Maw got the first blood first.

Then the dead form of the exploding puppy exchanged with Ashe.

Double Kill.

There was a roaring tsunami at the scene.

"One for two, what's going on?" Rita was both happy and confused.

The director quickly exported the replay.

G2's support Mithy, who was pushing the line, made a mistake in his positioning and was penetrated by Tianye's Braum through the gap in the line of soldiers with his Q. He then used the line of soldiers to move forward and entangled him with his shield.

Mithy turned around and used Q to slow down, but because he was still within the tower defense range, he was damaged by the defense tower and his health dropped quickly.

Exchange flash, follow flash.

Braum's passive ability froze him, and Lin Ruo's Kog'Maw followed up with flash and output, and he chased Tam to death.

Then cooperate with Braum to replace Ashe.

The three people in the commentary booth suddenly understood.

Before he could say anything, the camera turned to the middle lane, Scout Syndra used QE at the extreme distance to hit the Fox under the tower, grabbed the cannon soldier and smashed it at close range, directly knocking the Fox, whose health was already unhealthy, back to the second tower.

Although no kills were caused, there was a large wave of soldiers under the tower.

Perzk felt the pressure, this Syndra was so strong in laning.

"What's going on?"

I was stunned: "In less than 5 minutes, how come EDG has an advantage in all three lanes?"

【Fuck, everyone is awesome.】

[You thought Scout was kidding you by picking Syndra on you?]

[Is the game going to end in 5 minutes? ]

The game continues.

At 7 minutes, a 3v3 collision occurred in the bottom lane between the two sides. Ai Loli used a classic counter-camp to catch Cui Shen who came to the triangle grass to provide vision, and the battle was about to break out.

Braum's ability to retain people in the early stage is too strong.

With the help of Captain's ultimate skill, EDG easily took down two kills in pursuit.

Lin Ruo at 4-1 is extremely fat.

EDG took the first water dragon.

The cheers from the LPL fans at the scene continued for a long time.

The rhythm is completely under EDG's control.

The mid and jungle cooperated to push down the next tower.

The five players suddenly changed lanes and pushed the middle together.

With rhythm operation and perfect operation, G2 was once unable to fight back.

Game time is 25 minutes and 15 seconds.

All G2 members lost the first game sadly.
