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

Chapter 144 Everything is ready, just waiting to take the stage!
The moment the winners were announced, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

Mingjing stood up again and walked towards the stage.

Mingjing's white suit was a last-minute purchase. The one-size-fits-all suit didn't seem to fit him quite well; the shoulders were a little tight, the cuffs were a little loose, and the trousers were a couple of centimeters too short.

But the spirit of a young genius is the best adornment. Just like Zhao Zilong, who rode a white horse and wore white robes to save A Dou, the white-clad Ming Jing in front of us once scored 10 MVPs in the World Championship and won the third championship for LPL as the absolute core.

[So cool!]

[He's really handsome. Everyone else is wearing black suits, but he's all in white. He's got some strategy involved.]

[He didn't win Best AD, but he did win MVP of the Year. Doesn't that make Bingbing feel awkward?]

It doesn't matter, JDG's victory was already partly due to Bingbing's contribution, which was at least one-third of the credit.

[I'm already looking forward to Xiao Fei's performance next year]

So the question is, which team will Xiaofei go to? Is he really going to take his talents to the Lakers?

Ming Jing stood in the center and gently shook hands with Jin Yibo, the leader of Tengjing, before accepting the trophy from him.

Jin Yibo's face lit up with joy. He patted Ming Jing on the shoulder and laughed, "Keep up the good work next year. Your career has only just begun."

Jin Yibo has always lamented that the LPL lacks a leader like Faker. The players he used to promote, such as Clearlove and Uzi, are simply not as good as Faker.

But now, Jin Yibo's goal is clear.

There is no better choice than Mingjing.

Ming Jing smiled and nodded, then turned to look at the audience with the microphone in hand.

This awards ceremony was again held without an audience, with only members from various clubs present, but the number of attendees was still considerable.

"To receive this award, I first want to thank my teammates, coaches, and boss at JD.com," Ming Jing said with a light laugh. "Without the JD.com team, I would probably still be a rookie with a blank resume."

The camera then pans to the JD.com players' bench, where the JD.com players are all smiling broadly.

Whenever they recall their recent journey to the World Championship, the JD Gaming team feels as if it were a dream.

Two months ago, none of them would have imagined that the exceptionally talented ADC they had temporarily recruited from the youth training camp would lead them all the way to the end and win the championship.

Based on this alone, even if Ming Jing dumps them afterward like a scumbag, they won't hold a grudge against him; they'll only feel that they're not good enough for him.

On the court, Ming Jing continued speaking, gently raising the trophy and saying, "This trophy is a perfect start to my career, but it's just the beginning. I hope to perform at the same level next year and lift this trophy again."

"I also hope my old teammates will have smooth sailing," Ming Jing said with a smile. "See you on the field again in the future."

The audience erupted in applause once again.

The live stream chat was filled with comments discussing this.

【fly!】

[Meeting on the field? Is this confirmation that the team has left?]

Breaking news! EDG has just officially announced it! Mid laner Xiaofei!

【ah? ? ? 】

In fact, at the same time as the awards ceremony, Tencent Sports finally approved EDG's contract. Both EDG and JDG posted on Weibo at the same time, finally solving the biggest mystery of this year's transfer period.

JDG Esports Club: [Following friendly negotiations between the player and the club, AD carry player Mingjing (ID: Phi) has officially disconnected. Distance is no barrier to true friendship. We wish Phi continued strength and courage, and hope he writes his own brilliant chapter in his career.]

Upon seeing this Weibo post, countless fans who came because of the championship felt a sudden emptiness in their hearts.

I always felt that without Phi, the JD.com team had lost its soul.

Following this was EDG's official announcement.

EDG released their new season roster all at once with a sudden, overwhelming release.

Top Laner: Flandre, Jungler: Jiejie, Mid Laner: Phi, Bot Laner: Viper, Support: Meiko, Substitute: Scout.

This news immediately sparked countless discussions.

[Holy crap, let's fly!]

[The Flying God has returned to his loyal pig farm!]

[I knew Xiaofei was a grateful person, he would definitely lead EDG to a championship, sob sob]

[No, where? Did you change positions?]

[They've all been relegated to the bench by the junior students? Just how tough is Xiaofei in the mid lane?]

[The substitute hasn't achieved any honors since Lu San's defeat; how can he compare to Xiao Fei's debut and championship win?]

[But is mid lane actually viable? It feels like mid lane and AD carry are two completely different strategies.]

Indeed, being a mid-laner isn't just about having strong mechanics; you also need to have a good rhythm. Does Xiaofei really know how to do that?

[Whatever, just go for it. If you can't figure out the mid lane, just go back to bot. Let the junior player take the mid lane.]

【It really is】

The awards ceremony has now concluded.

As Ming Jing was leaving, he took out his phone to check it.

Sure enough, Song Xuan's message came quickly.

Amidst several question mark emojis, Song Xuan was still asking why he had switched to the mid lane.

“What’s wrong? Is it not working?” Mingjing typed back.

"Great, great, fantastic!" Song Xuan quickly replied: "Ten-year piglet supports you!"

Ming Jing has recently made great progress in his anti-forum training, and upon seeing this sentence, he immediately analyzed Song Xuan's background.

Most people prefer EDG at its peak when Clearlove was in charge. Although EDG was weak in international competitions, they were really good in the league and did win the MSI championship.

With Clearlove's retirement, EDG's performance has declined year after year, and they can't even make it to the playoffs. Naturally, people are disappointed with the current EDG players.

"Of course! I've been a fan of the factory manager for ten years!" Song Xuan replied quickly, his tone tinged with pride.

Just as Ming Jing was about to reply, the main EDG team came looking for him again.

At the start of the awards ceremony, in order to keep the suspense until the end, Teng Jing arranged for Ming Jing to enter alone and sit in a separate seat, which was also Tang Wanwan's turn.

Mingjing simply put away his phone, said goodbye to Abu, and then they returned to the hotel together.

While talking to Abu, Mingjing also keenly noticed a gaze piercing towards him from behind.

It was Scout, the team's former mid laner.

Of course, due to Scout's questionable moves during the transfer window, he is now a substitute and his contract has been significantly reduced.

The back-and-forth struggle cost him his starting position and resulted in a loss of several million dollars. It's quite ironic.
But Ming Jing didn't care about the other party's razor-sharp gaze.

He'd seen that look in his eyes many times before.

When Loken first joined JDG a few months ago, didn't he also poke him with his eyes like that?
But so what? In the end, she still held his hands and thanked him.
Ming Jing knew that the other party probably had a specific goal in mind: to push him to the bench or the AD position.

But Mingjing was not afraid.

If you're so capable, then come and try.

Mingjing turned his head and gave the other person a friendly nod.

Scout was slightly taken aback when he saw Ming Jing nod.
At this moment, Abu spoke up: "The transfer window is over, so there's nothing for you guys to do anymore. Get some rest. The Spring Split starts on January 9th, and we'll be playing the opening match. Before January 1st, everyone except Mingjing must report to the club on time. Pay attention to the time, and don't be late!"

After receiving everyone's nods, Abu turned to Ming Jing and said, "Your birthday is April 8th. I have already reported it to the league, and they have given you the green light. As long as you meet the age requirement, you can play directly. So you should try to return to the team as soon as possible and play more practice matches with the team to get used to each other."

“Hmm.” Ming Jing said, “I have a training camp to attend in March, but it will end at the end of March, and I should be able to come back on April 1st.”

"No rush. Studying hard is definitely a good thing. You'll probably have to go back to your studies in the future anyway." Abu patted Mingjing on the shoulder, increasingly pleased with the boy before him.

"You still have to go to the All-Star game tomorrow, right? This thing won't be stressful at all, just have fun."

"Okay, thanks, bro." Ming Jing nodded, returned to the hotel, packed up quickly, and then began preparing for the All-Star game.

Due to special circumstances, this year's All-Star Game will be held entirely online, with Europe and America playing together, and China and South Korea playing together.

Ming Jing wasn't actually a regular player in the LPL this year, so he wasn't originally ineligible for the All-Star vote.

However, Riot Games was very considerate and specially allocated one of the five guest invitation slots to him, determined to let him make an appearance at the All-Star Game no matter what.

Invited guests can't participate in the All-Star main event, but they can play solo matches and other similar games, which is quite interesting.

Ming Jing is now itching to fight, and he's quite looking forward to the opportunity to 1v1 against all-star players and top streamers from the Korean region.

That same evening, the LPL officially announced the roster for this year's China-Korea All-Star match.

All-Star players: TheShy, Kanavi, Yagao, JackeyLove, Baolan.

Legendary players: Gogoing, MLXG, Phi, Weixiao, PYL
High-scoring streamers: Yu XiaoC, Gongben Gouyu, Zhixun, kRYST4L, Xiyang
Each of China and South Korea will have 15 players. In addition to a 30-player SOLO tournament, they will also participate in 5V5 battles, and points will be awarded based on the number of wins.

High-scoring streamers and legendary players compete in BO1 matches, each earning one point. The All-Star main event is BO2, consisting of one match with a fan-voted hero and one match with a competitive draft, for a total of two points.

Then, the SOLO champion gets one point.

Ultimately, the total points will determine the winner between the two regions.

The night passed, and it was December 18th.

Following the transfer window, the 2020 All-Star Game officially kicked off, still at the Chengdu Wuliangye Financial City Performing Arts Center. The venue where the awards ceremony was held yesterday has now been set up with several computers and transformed into a competition venue.

However, only LPL players will be here today; LCK players will be competing remotely from home or their clubs.

The camera then pans to the backstage lounge, where all fifteen participants have gathered.

Upon seeing the handsome young man appear on screen, the barrage of comments surged once again.

Ming Jing is a weirdo. Even if he wins the championship, he's too lazy to go live and make money. Viewers can't even watch his live streams. And now it's the preseason, the ranked matches haven't officially started yet, and Ming Jing isn't playing ranked matches either. Viewers are getting impatient.

It's a rare treat to see Ming Jing compete these days, so the audience's response is naturally enthusiastic!

It's worth noting that Mingjing is participating in the All-Star game as a mid-laner!

Many viewers are really curious to know just how good Mingjing is in the mid-lane!

Don't confidently switch to the middle lane only to make a fool of yourself.

After the opening ceremony, the All-Star Game kicked off.

The competition started right from the start with a SOLO round of 30 to 15.

Ming Jing saw his first-round opponent through the official match-up chart.

It's quite a coincidence that the person I met right away was an old acquaintance.

DWG Support: Beyrl
Moreover, the official team had a rather wicked sense of humor, directly placing the two in the opening match.

It was clear from the camera specially connected to the director that Beryl was numb.

As the player who faced off against Mingjing in this year's finals, Beryl certainly understood how terrifying Mingjing's online skills were.

There probably hasn't been anyone born yet who can beat Phi in a solo match.

Who can beat him, Kalista or Draven?

But in fact, Mingjing did not intend to choose an AD hero in this SOLO match.

Since we've already said we're moving to the mid lane, of course we'll rely on mid lane heroes to win!

Therefore, Mingjing decisively picked Orianna in the first game to demonstrate his basic mid-lane skills!
After Beryl locked in Pantheon, he was immediately taken aback when he saw that his opponent had chosen Orianna.

Not choosing AD? Then you have a chance!

Pantheon should have an advantageous matchup against a mage like Orianna who has no chance to fight back!

But he immediately wilted a minute after the solo match started.

Damn it, what advantage?
If it's a regular Orianna, she might have a really hard time dealing with Pantheon. After all, Pantheon has a dash, crowd control, and high burst damage. Once he uses his W to close the gap, Orianna really can't withstand it.

But Beryl's first priority is to advance to level two.

Mingjing specifically brought Aery and bought a Doran's Blade, hoping to overwhelm his opponent with his range advantage.

Beryl was constantly targeted by Mingjing in the bushes at level 1, making it difficult for him to even get experience points, let alone farm lane lanes.

I lost a lot of experience and troops, and finally managed to level up to level three. I had a rare chance to fight back, but as soon as I jumped up with 10,000, I was hit with Weakness in mid-air, followed by a series of QA attacks.

With the Doran's Blade and her passive ability, Orianna's basic attack damage is quite considerable, making her a formidable opponent even in a straight-up fight against Pantheon, especially considering Pantheon's inherent health disadvantage.

Beryl was chased all the way to his tower and had to return to base, but the result was that he lost a lot of lane minions.

Ming Jing remained cautious and methodical. Since Pantheon hadn't given him any opportunities, he would steadily pursue victory with a hundred strikes.

When he landed 90 more stabs, Beryl finally couldn't hold back any longer and jumped in for a desperate last stand.

But Mingjing was not afraid at all. He used his ultimate to counterattack and his W to slow down the enemy, thus creating distance. He then calmly used basic attacks to kite the enemy.

By dodging the crucial full-star Q attack with skillful positioning, and then turning around to land a basic attack, the player successfully won the match.

When the kill was completed, Clockwerk still had 80% of its health remaining.

At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with exclamation marks.

Wow, this is a textbook example of a long-armed fighter against a short-armed one! Beryl can't fight back at all!

[When I saw Orianna taking down Pantheon, I thought Xiaofei was going to get seriously injured, but it was so easy!]

[Beryl is considered weak in lane even among supports, how can he be compared to an AD carry who is also an FMVP?]

[But I have to say, Xiaofei's Chinese saying actually has some merit!]

[I only saw the AD carry's basic kiting skills. I can only say that with Xiaofei's mechanics, he'll be good at anything.]

【It really is】

Back in the backstage area, Ming Jing felt utterly bored. His solo match with the support player was definitely not going to be as good as it seemed. He was itching to play and longed for a tough battle.

The round of 30 to 15 quickly concluded. Aside from Beyrl, the other nine All-Star players all advanced, along with some high-scoring streamers in their prime. As for the older, retired players, most were eliminated.

Following closely behind was a 5v5 battle between top-scoring streamers from both China and South Korea.

Ming Jing even took a look at the personal information of the two opposing sides, and then shook his head repeatedly.

Although it was supposed to be a showdown between high-scoring streamers, the highest scorer on the LPL side was actually Yu XiaoC, who had struggled to reach 1000 points in the Chinese server this year.

On the other hand, it's a genuine Korean server Challenger rank starting point.

Based on this matchup alone, Ming Jing has no idea how to win.

Backstage, Crystal confidently declared that he would crush the opposing team's five dogs, earning cheers from the other contestants.

But the competition had barely begun when everyone fell silent again.

Crystal was treated like a nobody by the Korean Challenger duo on the opposing team and kicked away.

Mid laner Zhixun locked onto his signature Talon, but was completely suppressed and unable to move.

Yu XiaoC carried the team with all his might, but he was still just a high-quality spinning top, spinning fast enough.

The outcome of the match was quickly decided, with the LCK team rapidly accumulating an advantage and then dominating two consecutive team fights to easily secure the victory.

The LCK region has accumulated one point first.

【? ? ? 】

[Being abused like this?]

[Isn't this inevitable? The bot lane has Crystal and Sunset, and together they can't even reach Grandmaster rank. They expect to beat the Korean Challenger duo?]

[It's truly speechless. Couldn't they have just honestly found five high-scoring streamers? Why did they have to squeeze in some people with connections?]

[Is it going to be shipped today?]

Who knows?

At this point, the comments section was already filled with criticism.

It's important to understand that the LPL is currently the undisputed number one region, and the audience is definitely coming to this All-Star event with the expectation of winning.

Although the All-Star game is just an entertainment event and losing won't affect LPL's status as the number one region, disappointed viewers will definitely criticize it.

Ming Jing was unaware of the audience's reaction, as he had already immersed himself in the competition to advance from 15 to 8.

One person would get a bye in this round, but this time it wasn't Ming Jing's turn; he found his opponent for this round.

Yu XiaoC, a top-ranked streamer in the Chinese server with over 1000 MMR.

As she went on stage, Yu Xiao C pleaded with Ming Jing to go easy on her.

Ming Jing smiled and gave only two words.

“Try your best”

At this moment, countless viewers have already taken their positions in the live chat, and the comments are flying by.

[Xiaofei vs. C-Emperor, I already laughed when I saw this matchup]

Is this really a being from another dimension?

[C Emperor: In the first Champions Cup, DGG fell in the quarterfinals. Seeing Hu Kaili slumped in her chair, constantly getting knocked out, is an image I'll never forget. At that moment, I thought, if I could become a professional player, I would win everything. Now, the solo tournament championship is right in front of me. I must consider whether this will be my only chance in this life. I must believe that Hu Kaili played an indispensable role in Donkey's former dominance. Restoring Donkey's glory is our inescapable duty!]

If C-King really wins, then EDG should sign him as soon as possible.

Amidst numerous discussions, the SOLO tournament quickly commenced.

Ming Jing's attack was quite serious.

Yu XiaoC's hero pool is very limited, consisting mainly of Nasus, Graveyard, Axeman, and Golem, all of whom are heavy-armored warriors. Therefore, Ming Jing directly targeted Akali, whom he had just learned, to counter her.

Akali is like a dog when she plays against heavy armored fighters.

As expected, Ming Jing played steadily against Yu XiaoC's Grave Digger, using the range advantage of his Q skill and the invisibility effect of his Smoke Bomb to kite and outmaneuver his opponent.

In the final showdown, Mingjing used his stealth and multiple dashes from his ER to completely outmaneuver the clumsy Gravemaster.

Yu XiaoC's mouse was almost broken, but he still couldn't hit Akali with his Q skill. In the end, he was kicked to death by Akali!
At this point, the live chat was flooded with comments like "Smooth."

"No, Brother Xiaofei." As he left the stage, Yu Xiao C couldn't help but complain, "Didn't we agree that I'd let you have it?"

“I’ve already let you have it,” Ming Jing said seriously. “Otherwise, you would have been dead two minutes ago.”

"."

Yu Xiao C was speechless.

After the round of 15 to 8 matches concluded, the first day of the All-Star Game came to an end. Ming Jing even took a look at his opponent for tomorrow's quarterfinals.

Yagao
Upon seeing this ID, Mingjing smiled.

December 19th, All-Star Game Day 2.

Starting today's event with the quarterfinals of the SOLO competition is the perfect way to begin.

At this stage, the remaining players are basically active players, all of whom are top-notch.

Ming Jing and Toothpaste stepped onto the field, starting a fierce battle between former teammates.

When both of them came on stage, the director first switched to the cameras on both sides, and saw that Toothpaste was already lying on the chair, resting with his eyes closed.

Gao Gao is sleepy.

Toothpaste knew that its journey in this SOLO competition was coming to an end.

This time, Mingjing played quite gently, using Syndra to counter Yagao's Zoe, steadily getting 99 CS, and finally grabbing a half-health cannon minion and diving back under the tower. In a place where Yagao couldn't reach, he used WQE to instantly kill the half-health melee minion, achieving a 100-CS victory.

Seeing that Phi could even beat toothpaste, countless viewers were relieved.

Now it seems that Xiaofei's mid-lane skills are actually quite strong!
No wonder they were able to keep Scout on the bench.

The semifinal matchups for the SOLO tournament are now set!

Upper bracket: Phi vs. Canna
Bottom bracket: Deft vs. Faker
Canna?

Upon seeing this ID, Ming Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

LPL viewers don't like this person.

During the MSC tournament in the middle of this year, Canna deliberately revealed Twitch during the draft phase when facing an LPL team.

Although T1 officially explained after the match that it was a mistake, the LPL side didn't buy it and directly gave Canna the nickname "Rat Man".

This solo match is one I can't afford to lose.

But the semi-finals haven't started yet; what's next is a 5v5 battle between the two legends.

Ming Jing was in the Legendary Group.

Actually, the LCK Legends group is quite strong. Marin, the S5 FMVP, has been away from the game for a long time and just returned from military service, but he still has a stable 1000 points in the Korean server, and his strength is outrageous.

In addition, there's Pawn, a mid-laner who just announced his retirement two months ago; he's incredibly strong.

Of course, their chances of winning are still not high.

Because LPL has Mingjing, the 16-year-old FMVP.

The mid-lane matchup had barely begun when Mingjing's Akali was completely overwhelmed by Fat General's Jayce, easily gaining lane control.

Meanwhile, Xiangguo's Jarvan IV was on a killing spree, dominating all three lanes. Mingjing in the mid lane had just used Flash and was thinking about how to get a solo kill when Xiangguo was already 2-0-1.

This startled Mingjing, forcing him to rush home to upgrade his equipment. After logging back in, he used his Flash advantage to deliver a smooth combo that sent Pawn to his doom!

Immediately afterwards, Mingjing and Xiangguo began to roam around together, killing people indiscriminately.

The two men slashed from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, sometimes barely managing to get a single strike.

The outcome was no longer in doubt; LPL's Legends team swept through the competition and easily won the game!

At the end of the match, Mingjing also saw Pawn type "jiayou" in the chat box.

As EDG's former mid-laner, General Pawn made significant contributions to EDG's rise to prominence.

As EDG's current mid-laner, Mingjing is determined to lead EDG back to the top.

"Thank you," Ming Jing replied with a message.

Immediately afterwards, the SOLO semifinals officially began.

Seeing how important this match was, Mingjing stopped playing mid lane and instead picked Kalista, intending to give Canna a good beating.

Mingjing's Kalista was as smooth as ever, and right from the start, she was overwhelmed by Canna's Camille, making it difficult for her to even last hit!
Canna was under pressure and got a little impatient, so she went back to base to replenish her supplies. After logging back in, she immediately hung on the wall and launched a flying kick at Kalista!
But Mingjing reacted quickly. As soon as Camille's E kicked over, he quickly judged the direction, auto-attacked a low-health minion, followed by a Q double jump, easily dodging the kick. Then he gave Camille an auto-attack, decisively detonating E, killing the minion while slowing Camille, and sentencing the opponent to death!
A steel shadow without any flash came up and was delivered into his mouth; he was already dead.

The skateboarder chased Camille all the way down the street, even chasing her into the tower, where a single auto-attack followed by E [Tear] unleashed countless spears, securing a tower dive solo kill!

"Wuhu, awesome!" At this moment, the camera panned to the LPL players' lounge backstage, where several people were seen clapping excitedly.

The lower bracket matches also started quickly, this time featuring Deft versus Faker, a clash between two legendary figures from the LCK.

Ming Jing actually wanted to play against Faker, after all, he also wanted to know how much of his power Faker, the greatest player in history and the only three-time world champion, still had left.

But unfortunately, Faker didn't care about this All-Star game at all. He even discussed it with Deft and picked two Amumu to cry in front of him.

Then there was not much to do in the solo match, and Deft ultimately won by a narrow margin, advancing to the finals.

Next up is the final highlight of the All-Star Game – the All-Star main event and the SOLO finals.

Beside Ming Jing, all five LPL All-Stars stood up, ready to welcome the main event.

The crowd was even unusually tense.

Currently, the two regions are tied 1-1 in points. If they don't perform well in the main tournament, they are very likely to lose.

Toothpaste lay on the chair, too lazy to move, and even asked if Mingjing could do it for him, but the answer was, of course, no.

The person fainted.

"It's alright, it's alright." Ming Jing patted the back of the toothpaste tube at this moment. "Getting one point is a success. Leave the rest to me."

The main event will consist of two matches: an appetizer of hero voting and the main course of the competition. As long as Mingjing can win one point in the main event and bring the scores to a tie to enter the SOLO finals, then we'll see how he performs.

Upon hearing this, the rest of the LPL players inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and then walked towards the arena.

The first game was quite exciting, with both sides selecting their signature heroes based on fan votes, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.

Ultimately, JackeyLove's Draven steadily laned, cooperating with Kanavi's Nidalee to secure the win and then take the game.

In the second game of the main event, the situation was quite different. The LPL players had obviously had too much fun during the off-season and didn't even know which heroes were strong in this preseason version. In contrast, the LCK players were much more disciplined and chose all the strong heroes.

In the end, Faker's Irelia, in combination with Canyon's Lillia, dominated the game, ending the main match in a 1-1 tie.

At this point, the score was tied at 2-2, and it was time for the SOLO match to decide the winner.

At this moment, the live chat is completely filled with the word "believe".

The audience didn't expect that just playing in an All-Star game would require Xiao Fei to carry the team so hard.

Is this the true value of being the one and only chosen one? Must you save the world wherever you go?
"Go for it, fly!" JackeyLove's face was resolute, as if entrusting his son to a dying enemy. "Don't lose to Delft, they should be easy prey, right?"

"Don't worry." Ming Jing didn't feel any pressure. "Watch my performance."

The SOLO tournament finals began soon, and Mingjing took to the stage again, joining the SOLO tournament room with Deft.

Mr. Dai's abilities are certainly not lacking, but unfortunately he encountered Ming Jing.

The SOLO finals were best-of-three (BO3).

In the first game, Mingjing picked Lucian to counter Deft's Draven.

Mingjing's operation was quite calm. While fighting, he approached the bushes, attacked once, quickly hid in the bushes, and then QAA after emerging from the bushes before entering them again!
In the SOLO mode, there are no wards. Mingjing used the cover effect of the bushes to block Draven's auto-attacks multiple times.

For a champion like Draven, being blocked from auto-attacking can be fatal.

Taking advantage of his health, Mingjing decisively used his E ability to close the gap and secured the kill with a single strike!

In the second game, Mingjing locked in Akali again to counter Deft's Kalista.

This matchup is somewhat disadvantageous, after all, it's a short-ranged opponent against a long-ranged one, but Mingjing did a great job of withstanding the pressure in the early game, enduring hardship and managing to reach level six.

Kalista automatically loses one ultimate ability after reaching level six. Deft knew he couldn't win this fight, but fortunately, he had already accumulated a double-digit CS advantage before level six, and he was determined to use that advantage to win.

But Mingjing didn't give him a chance. Taking advantage of Deft's retreat, he decisively pushed the lane into the tower and then immediately initiated a dive!
QRE landed smoothly, Mingjing went out of the tower first, and then used the second part of E to hit Kalista in the air and used Q to deal full damage, bringing her health down to below half.

Deft uses a basic attack followed by Q to create distance, while simultaneously focusing his attention and using Flash to dodge Akali's R2 kick the instant she comes at him.

But at that moment, another golden light shone.

Ming Jing reacted even faster, and the instant Kalista used Flash to create distance, he also used Flash.

Fun fact: Akali can use her ultimate (R-Flash) to forcefully charge into enemies while still having the ultimate's effect active.

A golden light flashed as Akali flashed into Kalista, forcibly unleashing her ultimate's damage. She then followed up with her passive and Q, finishing off Kalista on the spot!

Countless Poros exploded from Kalista's body, scattering across the entire arena, heralding the birth of the 2020 SoloKing!
Mr. Dai was helpless after seeing this wave of kills, and could only sigh and type "lihai, jiayou" in the chat box.

Mingjing replied with a "thank you" in return.

At this moment, the screen was filled with "666" and "Fly!" comments.

For Ming Jing, winning the SOLO tournament is certainly not an honor.

But don't forget, this is Mingjing's first match after switching to the mid-lane.

In the two days of competition, Ming Jing was hard to kill, whether in the 5V5 of the Legendary Group or the SOLO competition where he won the championship all the way.

Moreover, this was the crucial point that determined the outcome of the two competition zones!
Mingjing successfully proved his mid-lane ability and once again led LPL to victory!

Now, everything is ready, and all that's left is for Mingjing to take the stage at the age of 17.

(End of this chapter)
