You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 119 Who is the world's number one AD?

"In this internal battle between the LPL's first and second seeds, JD Gaming, the second seed, ultimately emerged victorious!" Commentator Guan Zeyuan announced loudly from the commentary booth, "Let's congratulate JD Gaming on their 3-1 victory over Top Esports and securing the second ticket to the finals!"

"They will face off against DWG at the Shanghai Pudong Football Stadium on October 31st! Ladies and gentlemen, let's look forward to this ultimate battle!"

Inside the stadium, various lights flashed and danced wildly, eventually focusing the camera's attention on the JDG players' bench.

All five JDG players stood up and punched each other in celebration.

Green Hair was the first to find Ming Jing, stood on tiptoe and hooked his arm around Ming Jing's shoulder, giving him a thumbs up, "You're awesome, Ming Jing! It's all thanks to you!"

Ming Jing didn't take credit, but smiled and said, "It's alright, everyone has made contributions."

League of Legends is, after all, a five-player game, and in Mingjing's opinion, the performance of all five players is indispensable in order to win the championship.

But the people at JD.com don't think that way.

Toothpaste and Zoom bumped fists at each other, a hint of wistfulness on their faces.

In terms of their professional careers, none of the three JDG players had a particularly smooth one.

All three officially dropped out of school around 15 to embark on their professional careers, but they all joined JDG in 17 or 18 and officially became LPL starters.

It took two or three years of hard work just to get into the LPL.

Compared to those young prodigies who quickly rose to the top of the server upon their debut and were then sought after by various clubs, the three of them were far inferior in terms of talent.

Why does toothpaste habitually avoid competition? It's simply because his years of hard-earned experience have made him subconsciously disbelieve that he can compare to these top geniuses.

Moreover, even after becoming a starter, JD Gaming's performance has been inconsistent, and they have never achieved any decent results.

Esports has always been a narrative of heroism.

Why has JD.com experienced a small resurgence in the past two years?

The main reason is that JD Gaming has acquired Kanavi as their jungler.

Kanavi is the protagonist of the traditional genius narrative. Before his debut, he consistently ranked among the top three in the Korean server. Although he spent some time in Griffin's second team after his debut, he quickly began to shine after being sold to JD Gaming in S9. In S10, he took advantage of the meta and led JD Gaming to the top of the LPL.

But that's already the limit for Kanavi.

The World Championship is full of talented players, but if you want to go further, Kanavi alone is far from enough.

Therefore, Mingjing appeared, as powerful as a deus ex machina.

Everyone at JD Gaming understands who the key figure is who led the team to consecutive victories against G2 and TES.

It's no exaggeration to say that whichever of the four teams in the upper bracket possesses Mingjing will advance to the finals.

Unfortunately, in this jungle-centric meta, there are just too many mediocre players in the bot lane.

Ming Jing's existence is a devastating blow to these scoundrels!

The current semi-final against TES is the most intense competition in the bottom lane, with both sides picking Draven four times in a row.

But Mingjing was still the ultimate victor!
The camera then focused on Ming Jing, the spirited young man surrounded by four teammates, his handsome face pleasing to the eye.

Everyone still remembered what Ming Jing said in the promotional video before the match.

"I will prove in this competition who is the world's best AD carry."

At the time, countless viewers thought that Ming Jing was just there to create a show effect.

After all, these words came from his cousin, Mingkai.

The S3 All-Star tournament was a high-profile event, considered the predecessor to MSI. The team that won the All-Star tournament would receive an extra spot in the World Championship.

Before the match, Clearlove made a bold statement, saying he would prove who is the world's number one jungler.

As expected, he was kicked away by the Korean monk insec, who treated him like a stray dog.
Now, after his cousin repeated that phrase, the result was completely different from his older cousin's. After watching this match, the question of who is the world's best AD carry might already be settled.

I declare that Xiaofei is the world's number one AD carry!

【support! 】

[AD is truly a stage for gifted geniuses! Bingbing's talent was already top-notch, but Xiaofei is even more incredible!]

Where's the water ghost? Why isn't it saying anything?

There's nothing we can do; today it was purely a bot lane difference. Even if the jungler wanted to make an excuse, he wouldn't have a chance.

[What the hell? Wasn't the last game lost because the mid laner got solo-killed? Now it's the bot lane that's lagging behind? Wasn't the bot lane just trading kills today?]

[This was a complete stomp! Draven didn't have a single lane advantage in any of the three games; on the contrary, Xiaofei completely crushed Draven in his lane!]

[Today's mid lane was pretty much a pure duel, with both players getting solo kills. Toothpaste has been playing really well since Worlds, seemingly better than Knight.]

【It really is】

JD Gaming is definitely stronger, so their advancement is only natural. Good luck in the finals! Help LPL win its third championship!

【come on! 】

The camera slowly panned along with the JDG players, eventually landing on the Top Esports players' bench.

In the commentary booth, Guan Daxiao immediately spoke up: "But at the same time, we also hope that everyone will give their support to Top Esports. Although they are the losers today, they have given us a wonderful performance!"

369 and Karsa had already stood up, their faces clearly showing their sadness.

Being eliminated on the global stage is hard for anyone to accept.

After all, this means that a whole year's efforts have gone to waste at this moment.

As time goes by and the game version changes, even last year's champion FPX will be unable to qualify for the World Championship due to version changes.

If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll get to the World Championship again?

The left hand was the slowest to get up, clearly indicating that this defeat had dealt him a significant blow.

After all, he was the biggest scapegoat in this last game.

Ming Jing didn't say much. TES's top, jungle, and mid laners lightly bumped fists, and then walked over to JackeyLove.

JackeyLove seemed to be the one with the best attitude, and said with a smile, "Draven is playing pretty well."

Ming Jing smiled and said, "You too."

JackeyLove doesn't really have much to say about today's match.

It was simply a matter of skill; this final game clearly demonstrated that the two teams were on completely different levels. JackeyLove couldn't find a single opening throughout the entire game!
During the league season, JDG and TES were evenly matched, with both teams playing ten games in the spring and summer finals, resulting in a tie.

All we can say is that in a world championship, where you either advance or fall behind, JDG has made greater progress than TES, that's all.

Ming Jing also highly regards JackeyLove. After all, in this World Championship, JackeyLove is the only one capable of going toe-to-toe with him.

Other ADs are like fragile vases that break at the slightest touch.

"Good luck in the finals." JackeyLove extended his right fist and said, "If you want to play practice matches, come to us."

Fortunately, this competition is being held in Shanghai, so even if TES loses, it won't be a big deal. They can get to the base in an hour by car, and helping JDG with practice matches is just a matter of convenience.

"Okay." Ming Jing smiled and bumped fists with his own: "Thank you."
