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

Chapter 136 Let's Give It Our All
"Congratulations to JD Gaming! They've won the pivotal match 2-1!"

The doll's voice held a hint of exhilaration, "With two championship points in hand, they're just one step away from lifting the Summoner's Cup!"

"Two to one, just one more step!" Miller's voice was full of anticipation. "Is the LPL's third championship coming?"

"Hey, no, no, no!" Wawa quickly stopped her partner, who was getting overly excited because of her slip of the tongue. "There's still one more game. Let's finish watching the match first!"

Over the years of the S-series, there have been quite a few instances where LPL teams have won the crucial match, taking a 2-1 lead, only to ultimately lose.

In 2017, RNG was leading SKT 2-1, but the result was tragic.

In 2018, RNG faced off against G2 in a similar situation, but the result was even more comical.

"It's okay, I believe in JD.com's players!" Miller was also excited at this moment: "I believe in Xiaofei! He's our pride!"

The Pudong Football Stadium was now a sea of ​​joy. The stadium was not even full with more than 8,000 spectators, but the volume of their voices was quite impressive.

Just then, Ming Jing stepped out of the soundproof room, and Miller's praise mixed with the cheers of the audience rushed towards him.

The director was very understanding and immediately switched to that shot.

Mingjing smiled brightly at the camera and held up one finger again.

"1"

The "1" mentioned earlier refers to winning the first game.

The number 1 now means there's one more game to go.

Like Miller, Ming Jing also believes in himself and that he will definitely win the final championship.

However, no one noticed that Ming Jing's fingers were trembling slightly.

"Awesome, Mingjing!" Zoom joined in, praising Mingjing loudly, "That team fight was really well done!"

When Kennen, in coordination with Orianna, executed a dream team fight initiation, Zoom's first reaction was: the sky is falling.

If we lose this team fight, we'll lose both the dragon and the baron!

This momentum has been disrupted, and EZ's power spike with Manamune and Trinity Force has been delayed. Now, it's really hard to say what will happen next!
But Mingjing stepped forward.

Zoom still doesn't understand how an Ezreal could possibly take on five opponents at once.

And after the fight, I still had more than half a bar of health left!

"It's alright, your last team fight went pretty well," Ming Jing chuckled. "Keep it up, let's try to win the next game straight away!"

It's only natural that the blue team won, given their significant advantage, especially considering their superior draft picks across all three lanes!

If they lose this game, then we'll really have to question whether JDG truly deserves to win the championship.

"Charge! Let's aim for 3-1!" Green Hair cheered from the sidelines. "Let's have another round of red breaking blue!"

The group didn't let their guard down; they simply chanted slogans and quickly returned to the lounge.

Redmi had been preparing for this for a long time and immediately pointed out the problems in the previous video.

Although we won the last round, it doesn't mean the problems are gone.

On the contrary, the problem is quite significant.

"I've emphasized it so many times, vision, vision!" Redmi slammed his hand on the whiteboard as soon as he got back, as if he wanted to etch the word "vision" into the players' minds.

"For the upcoming matches, I require that you always carry a real ward when you go out!"

Meanwhile, in DWG's players' lounge.

The DWG members, already standing on the edge of a cliff, have now entered into a heated discussion.

The loss in the previous game didn't seem to have a significant impact on the DWG players.

They all agreed that the loss in the previous game was not due to a lack of strength, but rather to problems with the draft phase!

On the contrary, their strength is by no means inferior.

Even with such a significant disadvantage in roster strength, they almost managed to defeat JDG!
Unfortunately, he ultimately lost to Phi.

"Phi is a monster." Even Showmaker couldn't help but sigh, "That Ezreal, is he even being played by a human?"

Showmaker still vividly recalls that one-on-one duel with Ezreal.

He teleported down and died without ever hitting Ezreal with a single skill!
That's a monster when it comes to maneuvering.
Xiu Shen felt a little overwhelmed.
"Fortunately, we're on the blue side next game, so we'll have more options in the draft," coach Zefa said. "What are your thoughts? Should we go back to the top side? Or continue playing the bottom lane?"

"Let's focus on the bottom lane instead," Canyon said. "It's too dangerous to ignore the bottom lane."

At this point, Canyon couldn't care less about his teammates' feelings; he had to tell the truth.

This third game is the best example. If you ignore the bottom lane, it will really blow up!
But just then, Beryl, who had been staring at the computer in the training room, suddenly shook his head: "No need, just play the top half of the map, don't worry about the bottom lane."

Beryl had been watching replays of the previous few games as soon as he returned to the lounge, seemingly engrossed in something.

Zefa frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then said, "If we don't care about the bot lane, what about the laning phase?"

"Let's use the ban picks," Beryl said. "Since we're on the blue side, the enemy will definitely ban Ziggs, so we'll ban Kalista, Caitlyn, and Draven, and then let Ezreal pick them!"

"EZ?" Zefa frowned slightly, feeling that this draft wasn't good. "But you can only pick a tank support, wouldn't it be strange to pair EZ with a tank support? And if we pick EZ, won't the opponent pick Jinx? Won't we be at a huge disadvantage in the laning phase?"

“It doesn’t matter,” Beryl said. “We were playing in the top half of the map anyway, so the disadvantage in the bottom lane is acceptable.”

After playing three games, Beryl figured it out: regardless of whether they played the bottom half of the map or not, the bottom lane would definitely be at a disadvantage; it was just a matter of whether they were completely outmatched or slightly at a disadvantage.

Even if they want to take the bottom half of the map, what can they do if the opposing team groups up at level one and comes to trade jungle camps?
Instead of doing that, it would be better to give up on the bottom lane from the start and put all your eggs in the basket in the more stable top half of the map.

Zefa thought for a moment and then asked, "If we focus on the upper half of the map, it'll be difficult to get the Vanguard."

This brings us back to the problem we encountered in the first game.

The opposing support clearly had a knack for team fights, consistently managing to reach level six at eight minutes and thus playing a crucial role!
If this problem is not resolved, it will be useless for them to gain an advantage in the upper half of the map, since the advantage cannot be converted into neutral resources, and the advantage will be wasted!
"It's alright," Beryl said confidently. "I've figured out their secret to leveling up to six. The Vanguard will definitely be ours next game."

Hearing their teammates' confident remarks, the DWG members nodded slightly.

They have always believed that Beryl is the most talented player on their team.

This talent has nothing to do with reaction or operation, but rather with an extraordinary understanding of the game.

He can often spot the opponent's tactical moves and vision gaps at a glance.

This was also evident in the earlier games, where Beryl capitalized on JDG's vision gaps, creating numerous opportunities for his team.

"Then it's up to you next time, Xiqian!" Zefa nodded emphatically. "Play well in the next game, let's get through the fifth game first!"

At this moment, the TV in the lounge was showing the selection of the MVP from the previous game.

Although they could already guess who would win the MVP, the DWG players couldn't help but glance at the stats, and then they all grimaced.

What a monster!
A perfect 9-0-6 K/D ratio, an exaggerated 41.25% damage share, and a 4400 gold lead over the laner all demonstrate EZ's dominant performance.

While EZ can indeed deal significant damage, achieving a 40% damage share is still somewhat exaggerated.

Keep in mind that the team also has Jayce and Nidalee, who are also high damage dealers.

Ultimately, it was clearly because of that Dragon Soul team fight.

EZ dealt over 11,000 damage by himself, accounting for more than 70% of the damage in a single team fight!

With that team fight as a foundation, the damage percentage won't be low.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the MVP count in this World Championship.

"Wow, they really got ten MVPs!" Miller exclaimed in the LPL commentary booth. "This will be a brand new record!"

"That's outrageous," Wawa added. "You know, no matter if we win or lose, JDG won't have any more MVPs for each game, because if they win, they'll go straight to the awards ceremony! So, these ten MVPs will probably be the final number!"

At this point, the director also provided Ming Jing's hero pool data for this World Championship.

As you can see, after using Ezreal, Mingjing's champion pool has reached an astonishing ten.

As a newcomer who has only been playing for half a year, he has become the player with the widest hero pool in this year's World Championship. It is indeed a case of being talented and daring.

"Let's go then, and see how this best-of-five series ends!" Miller puffed out his chest. "Both players, step onto the stage! The fourth game is about to begin!"

Both players took to the stage, and the draft pick (BP) panel was displayed.

At this stage of a best-of-five series, neither side can hold back any more cards, and the drafting logic is basically fixed, so there won't be many changes in the drafting process.

Of course, the premise is that we can't make the same mistake as DWG in the last game, because they impulsively locked in Kennen in advance, which led to a complete loss in the draft.

Therefore, DWG was quite cautious in their draft picks this game. Even after making a choice, they would think it over again and again, and only make a final decision at the last second.

Just as they had planned, without Ziggs, they banned three strong bot lane champions, then picked the Ezreal + Rakan combo to farm lanes, shifting their focus back to the top side of the map.

JDG found DWG's roster change somewhat strange.

Why are they changing the format so much in a single best-of-five series?
Is it panic, or is there really something new?

As it turned out, it was the latter.

The match started quickly, and in terms of the opening, it was indeed developing according to the draft's plan.

DWG's EZ and Galio bot lane duo, while not particularly strong in lane, has one advantage: they are very difficult to kill.

Both heroes have mobility skills and the ability to last-hit minions from a distance, so they don't have to pay too much of a price for last-hitting.

Although Mingjing can gain an advantage in the bottom lane, his damage output is not ideal, and he cannot tower dive as accurately as before.

On the other side, the upper half of the bracket presented a similar picture, only the situation was reversed.

Zoom in the top lane is alright, since he's on the red side and the team specifically gave him a counter pick to prevent him from falling behind. The top lane isn't particularly advantageous, but it's not disadvantageous either.

But the mid lane is different. The mid laner, Yagao, picked Azir first, but was completely destroyed by the enemy ShowMaker's Syndra, who could only crawl around in the mid lane and couldn't support his teammates at all.

Most importantly, after DWG shifted their focus to the top half of the map, support Beryl was finally able to openly abandon the bottom lane and roam.

At just four and a half minutes into the game, Beryl's Rakan roamed to the mid lane and coordinated with Canyon to gank mid.

Syndra initiated with a push to stun, and with Rakan's W, successfully forced Yagao to use Flash.

Forcing a Flash was already a pretty good result, so Canyon didn't linger and turned to leave.

Beryl stayed in the mid lane and pushed the wave for the mid laner with his support items before quickly returning to the bottom lane.

When he returned to the bottom lane, the bottom lane minions had just entered the tower, and Beryl gained another wave of tower minions.

Soon, the disadvantage in the mid lane was reflected in the top lane. Yagao, who was out of Flash, could only retreat and slowly farm under the tower. This allowed Showmaker to farm the wave under the tower and then roam to the top lane, where Zoom was tower-dived.

JDG couldn't do much, except control the fire dragon in the bottom river.

Toothpaste pushed the lane in the middle, trying to make Showmaker lose more minion gold.

But at this moment, Beryl's Rakan came back and held the mid lane for a while, waiting for Showmaker to return to lane before letting the minion wave go into the tower, and then sharing the experience from the tower minion wave with the mid laner.

After sharing the experience, Luo turned around and left, returning to the bottom lane!

Seeing this, even the toothpaste couldn't help but frown.

What kind of gameplay is this?
If he remembers correctly, starting from the fourth minute, this support Rakan was present during every tower dive in DWG's mid lane!

It's like guarding the minion wave and going to the tower to gain experience in the mid lane.

What kind of gameplay is this? Are they ignoring the bot lane AD carry? The bot lane is almost 20 CS ahead!
On the bottom lane, Ming Jing watched Luo return to the lane, did a quick mental calculation, and soon realized something was wrong.

“That’s not right,” Ming Jing said. “This Luo seems to be competing for experience points as well.”

"Huh?" Green Hair was a little surprised. Of course, he understood what Ming Jing meant. "He also wants to upgrade the Vanguard Regiment to level six? How could he possibly have that much experience? He's been roaming around."

In Green Hair's understanding, if you want to reach level six in the Vanguard team fight, the support cannot lose any experience before eight minutes. Not only that, but they also need to go to the mid lane to get a big kill so that they can get enough experience.

If the vanguard group manages to level up five levels by roaming back and forth like this, that's considered a success! Want to level up to six?

“He’s not roaming; he’s going to the mid lane to gain experience. He hasn’t lost any experience.” Ming Jing said seriously, “He’ll definitely get six points. Be careful.”

Upon hearing Ming Jing's reminder, Green Hair nodded, feeling more at ease.

Within eight minutes, the vanguard regiment launched its attack.

Green Hair used the same formula as before: he would go to the mid lane to gain experience at eight minutes, and then initiate a team fight after reaching level six.

However, just as Green Hair had reached level six and was planning to join a team fight in the upper river with his teammates, an unexpected incident occurred.

A level 6 Rakan suddenly rushed out of the darkness with his ultimate activated, flashed in and used W to charm the mid, jungle and support!
Seeing this, JDG's mid, jungle, and support almost had their hearts stop. How did this Rakan get a level 6? Hasn't he never shown up in the mid lane before?
With this perfect initiation, DWG had no chance of losing the team fight. Syndra followed up with a WQE combo, stunning three more enemies, and then, with the help of her teammates, they pounced and easily achieved a 3-for-0 exchange!

A zero-for-three exchange plus the Vanguard instantly shattered the fragile balance between the two sides!
"Vanguard is gone too!" Doll's voice was filled with grief and indignation. "Beryl! It's him again!"

From God's perspective, the doll certainly knows how Beryl did it.

Long before Green Hair arrived in the mid lane to gain experience, Beryl's Rakan had already moved closer to the mid lane.

However, Beryl did not show up in the mid lane. Instead, while Showmaker was pushing the lane, he smelled the entire wave of experience in the darkness and leveled up to level six.

Because Beryl had been running back and forth between the mid and bottom lanes, essentially chasing experience points, his experience was even greater than that of Greenmao, who had been staying in the bottom lane. This also meant that Beryl reached level six faster than Greenmao!
Using the little time he gained, Beryl quickly sneaked into JDG's top and jungle areas, set up his plan ahead of time, and delivered the decisive blow!
"Ouch, that was a huge blow." Miller was also heartbroken. "The top half of the map is completely destroyed!"

I'm truly speechless at these lousy people at JD.com!

[They always throw the game when Xiao Fei isn't around. Do they really deserve to win?]

[Green Hair is as naive as a blank sheet of paper in front of Beryl; his vision is forever obscured, and he's always being robbed of it!]

Why couldn't we drag the game out until the late game and let Xiaofei carry, just like that?

[Don't worry, there's still post-production to come.]

[And then there's the late game, Syndra can one-shot Xiaofei from full health with her ultimate, what's the point of fighting like that?]

In JDG's voice chat channel, everyone fell into a brief silence because of this crushing defeat.

This defeat is really devastating.

After all, the disadvantages in the upper half of the bracket are far greater than the advantages in the lower half. Their economy is already lagging behind, and their hope of catching up lies in this one tower.

They didn't value the vanguard much, since the bottom lane was pushing towers faster, and the first tower should have been theirs anyway.

In other words, the Vanguard is not important to them, but DWG not being able to get the Vanguard is very important to them.

But now, not only did the vanguard fail, but it also gave away three kills, turning the economy from a small disadvantage to a big disadvantage!
That would be very difficult.

Ming Jing was pushing the tower in the bottom lane. Looking at the situation in the top half of the map, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

All I can say is that the support player on the other side, Beryl, definitely has some understanding.

In just three games, they figured out the core tactics of their vanguard team and even redesigned a completely new strategy based on their own team's situation!

JDG relied on their bot lane advantage to steal dragons and gain extra experience from kills, but this strategy was clearly not suitable for DWG's weak bot lane.

Therefore, Beryl chose to do the opposite, completely avoiding laning and instead roaming back and forth between the mid and bottom lanes, reaping all the tower kill experience in both lanes, thus achieving the same effect!
Although this approach came at a high cost—Ghost lost a significant number of minion waves and suffered a severe economic collapse—the benefits he gained were substantial.

In a best-of-five (BO5) series, the key is adaptability. You need to adapt to your opponent's strengths and weaknesses and constantly evolve your strategies to win in the end.

In previous years, LCK teams often had poor results in the BO1 group stage of the World Championship, but once they reached the BO5 knockout stage, they would show extraordinary dominance, which is due to this reason.

DWG, as the LCK's number one seed, is also a leader in this regard.

Their strong adaptability allows them to make adjustments after each loss, almost guaranteeing that they will not lose two games in a row!

"Take it slow." Ming Jing wasn't in the habit of pressuring his teammates, so he simply took a deep breath. "There will be opportunities."

The chain reaction continued.

DWG chose to release the Rift Herald in the top half of the map, smashing the top tower with half health. Mingjing then destroyed the bottom tower in the bottom lane, but was still a dozen seconds too late.

With the economic advantage gained from the first tower kill, DWG's top, mid, and jungle players all took off!
Mingjing didn't give up either, and continued to focus on developing Jinx and working around the dragon.

At 18 minutes, during the third dragon fight, under the protection of his teammates, Mingjing steadily dealt damage. He first flashed to dodge Beryl's initiation, then set traps to restrict the opponent's advance, and fired rockets one after another. In the end, he sacrificed his life to achieve a one-for-three exchange for his team and successfully secured the third dragon!
"Little Fei!" Miller exclaimed from the commentary booth, as if a parched land had received a welcome rain. "He's still in the center position!"

Below the stage, countless spectators saw the hope of victory and cheered loudly!

This call even penetrated the soundproof room and soundproof headphones, reaching the ears of the DWG players.

However, the DWG players remained calm in the face of this situation.

Canyon, however, remained optimistic: "It's alright, no big problem! We still have the advantage, right?"

"Jinx's Flash's gone." Beryl said firmly. "Before her Flash is ready again, let's start Baron Nashor. Don't give them a chance to fight for the Dragon Soul!"

At 22 minutes, Jinx's Flash and the dragon both entered the final minute countdown.

DWG finally got EZ's two-item set and immediately started the Baron team fight!
Ghost's outstanding ability to hide was so conspicuous that no one paid attention to him, and many people even forgot that he existed.

But don't forget he was playing Ezreal.

EZ has a core playstyle with Manamune and Trinity Force, as well as a more casual playstyle with Manamune and Iceborn Gauntlet.

The two cheap items, Manamune and Iceborn Gauntlet, gave Ghost a chance to maintain his fighting strength, even though he was far behind in gold, he still had two items in hand!

At this point, DWG finally pieced together the last piece of the puzzle to victory. The four carries worked together in the Baron fight, and Mingjing's Jinx, who didn't have Flash, was unable to hold on and was taken down by Syndra's Flash-Six-Ball Ultimate.

JDG suffered a crushing defeat in the Baron fight, and DWG also secured the crucial final dragon, disrupting JDG's dragon rhythm and eliminating any chance of a comeback.

The outcome of the game was no longer in doubt. DWG steadily controlled vision and pushed forward separately, eventually dragging the game out until the 31st minute. With the help of the second dragon, they pushed down the enemy base and ended the game.

The moment the match ended, all five members of DWG stood up and excitedly bumped fists!
Beryl also wore a satisfied smile.

It was exactly as expected.

He had seen through everything about JDG, from top to bottom, and this easy victory was the best proof of that!

They will absolutely not lose again!

Shan Ni Ruo, who had almost become a corpse after being defeated in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, immediately revived and began to swing his fists, "Beautiful!"

"The score is tied!" On the LCK commentary booth, the "Roaring Emperor" roared loudly, "The World Championship isn't over yet, the two sides are fighting to the very last game!"

"The 2020 season has come to its final BO1 match. Let's all look forward to the birth of the champion! Go DWG!"

Both players quickly returned to the rest room.

Under the pressure of being caught up, the JDG players were sweating profusely, and a tense atmosphere permeated the entire rest room.

The final game represents the end of the entire season, the gain or loss of the championship, and a turning point in one's career and even life.

It would be a lie to say you weren't nervous at a time like this.

Even Ming Jing was a little nervous, constantly opening and closing his hands to calm his trembling fingers caused by the flow state.

But he didn't stop thinking; he kept replaying some details from the match in his mind.

Beside him, the boss, Lan Baiqing, looked at the scene before him and said softly, "I know that this must be the most crucial moment in your lives so far. In this respect, I cannot truly empathize with you."

"But what I do know is how hard and difficult it has been for you all this year."

At this point, the boss even gave a slight bow to the contestant in front of him:

"From the perspective of club operations, the club is definitely profitable this year. Thank you for your efforts. But as a spectator, you should never have finished as runners-up. You absolutely deserve a championship."

Among countless esports clubs, Lan Baiqing is the only club owner who always stays with the team and cares about the team's performance more than anyone else.

Now that we've fought to the very end, only victory can justify all the hardships we've endured along the way.

Looking at the crowd around him who were gradually raising their heads, Lan Baiqing continued with a smile, "The final match is about to begin. This is not only the last of the best-of-five series, but also the last match of the year. No matter the outcome, just have no regrets!"

At this moment, Redmi stepped in to ease the tension, saying with a smile, "No matter what, we have the right to choose sides in the last round, and the situation is still on our side, so don't feel too much pressure."

It can only be said that JDG's red-blue split in the first game became a crucial foreshadowing that was hidden until the very end, allowing them to seize the initiative in the BO5 series with their strength.

Hearing the management's series of measures, the JDG players all looked up, but they looked at each other without saying a word.

Because it's not their turn to speak yet.

Ming Jing had also adjusted his state at this moment, and his fingertips became stable again.

"Watch me in this last round."

Ming Jing looked at his teammates around him and chuckled, "I will lead you to the championship."

This is the last game, let's give it our all.

Hearing Mingjing's words, the teammates finally gained confidence.

The break time passed quickly, and both players took to the stage for the last time.

The battle song "Sliver Scrapes," which only plays in the final game, resounded throughout the stadium!
Amidst the rousing electronic music, the cheers of the 8,000 home fans reached a new peak, all offering their final wishes and support to the JDG team.

"Here they come! To the sound of the battle song, both teams have returned to the stage!"

Wawa's voice was passionate and stirring, "The last time we heard the theme song for the S-series finals was back in 2016! In that match, Faker dominated the entire game and won his third championship!"

"Four years have passed, and the battle song rises again! Let's see which side will have the last laugh!"

Mingjing pushed open the door to the soundproof room and sat down in his seat.

After the referee confirmed the details via headset, the final draft phase officially began!
"Here it comes, the decisive draft!" Miller shouted. "JD.com is playing the loser's pick and has returned to the blue side! And they've banned Kennen first!"

JDG's strategy was incredibly clear: focus on the bottom lane and make the bottom lane a late-game carry.

In the ban phase, they chose to ban Kennen, Nidalee, and Tahm Kench. The first two protect the top and jungle, while the third restricts the opponent's lane dominance.

On the other hand, DWG's bans were much simpler; they just banned all the bot lane champions—Zz1tai, Draven, and Kalista.

"What do you mean?" Redmi asked directly, "The policewoman is out, do you want to take it?"

"I won't take it." Ming Jing said calmly. "I want Jinx."

The female police officer's damage output is relatively weak. If you want to carry the team with damage output, Jinx is always the choice that Mingjing trusts the most.

Even if Jinx just lost the last game.

Redmi nodded and decided to pick Graves first.

The focus of this game has been shifted to the bottom lane and the late game, so a jungle carry is indispensable.

On the other side, DWG locked in Syndra and Ezreal, continuing their strategy from the previous game.

JDG didn't wait any longer and immediately locked in Jinx and Ornn!
Seeing Jinx's choice, countless viewers panicked once again.

Do we really want Jinx?
Looking at it this way, the draft doesn't seem to be much different from the last game, does it?
DWG thought the same way, but since JDG, as the losing side, didn't change their draft, the winning side naturally had no need to change theirs either, and still locked in Rakan as their third pick, advancing to the second round.

In the second round, both sides focused on identifying and addressing weaknesses. Nuguri chose Camille to counter Ornn, continuing his strong performance in the top half of the map. JDG, with Azir and Zoe banned, locked in Galio to counter Syndra.

The lineups for both sides are finalized!

JDG (Blue Side): Top lane Ornn, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Jinx and Leona.

Red side DWG: Top lane Camille, Jungle Kindred, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane Ezreal and Galio.

Neither side made any mistakes in this business plan.

DWG coach Zefa made a final confirmation, then patted the five players on the shoulder, "Come on, kids, it's the last game, leave no regrets!"

On the other side, Redmi took a deep breath, closed his laptop, and said, "My task is complete. Now it's up to you guys."

The two coaches relieved themselves of their burdens and then gave each other a fist bump in the center of the stage.

The director gave a close-up shot, showing both coaches with determined gazes.

The camera then pans to the audience.

offstage.

All the spectators looked hopeful, and some even clasped their hands together in prayer for JDG.

The players from TES and SN couldn't help but become more serious.

In addition, countless other viewers had similar reactions.

EDG Club.

EDG's players, youth training staff, and club leaders, including Abu Maokai, all stared intently at the scene before them, their gazes grave.

Wuhan, the city on the river.

Ming Jing's parents, Wang Hao, his homeroom teacher, and other close friends were all at home, intently watching the computer screen, fully immersed in the tense atmosphere, and even afraid to breathe too loudly.

Amidst the anticipation of millions, Summoner's Rift finally arrived, and heroes from both sides charged out of their bases.

The decisive game has officially begun!
(End of this chapter)
