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

Chapter 202 Don’t worry
After a short break, the second game quickly began, and both players returned to the stage.

Because this is the final game of the regular season, and also considered a semi-high-profile game, the live stream was already unusually popular.

Song Xuan, of course, did not miss the live broadcast. She sat in her chair with her knees drawn up to her chest, craning her toes as she watched the screen.

Song Xuan, who achieved a perfect score on the IMO, is already a minor celebrity. Due to her father's connections, she has garnered a lot of attention and has been receiving numerous interviews recently.

But Song Xuan would never miss Ming Jing's matches.

Ming Jing was also sitting in a chair at this moment, having joined the custom room opened by the referee.

Inside the chat box, the JDG members were still chattering away.

"So, Mingjing," Green Hair typed rapidly, "Want to go all out?"

The two sides had an extraordinary level of teamwork, choosing a whole set of JD.com-themed skins, which was probably just for the sake of creating a TV show effect.

Now that the show's entertainment value is secured, it's time to get down to business.

"Come!" Ming Jing had this in mind!
With Zoom, the top laner on the blue side, clicking "Start Game," the second round's draft phase officially began!
This time, neither side chose any unusual heroes; they mostly picked heroes they were good at.

The two sides traded blows back and forth, and the lineups are finalized!
JDG (Blue Side): Top laner Gwen, Jungler Xin Zhao, Mid laner Zoe, Bot laner Ezreal and Galo.

Red side EDG: Top laner Renekton, jungler Diana, mid laner Lee Sin, bot lane Kalista and Leona.

EDG's lineup maintains its usual fast-paced style, with all three lanes featuring heroes that are designed for a life-or-death struggle in the early game.

In contrast, JDG's lineup is much slower.

With this lineup chosen, it's crystal clear who holds the upper hand.

Mingjing's Blind Monk was undoubtedly the focus of the entire event!

Moreover, since the opponent is an old teammate, Ming Jing is even more determined to strike hard!

At the beginning of the laning phase, Mingjing was still hesitant, after all, Zoe is an absolute lane bully, and she is especially good at fighting against melee mid laners, which Mingjing could not match.

In the early levels, Mingjing's main focus is on preserving his health and last-hitting minions to level up, so he has to give up control of the mid lane.

Meanwhile, Toothpaste took this opportunity to invade the jungle with Kanavi, taking over Jiejie's entire half of the jungle, making it very difficult for Jiejie to play.

Despite the disadvantage in the jungle, Ming Jing remained calm and confident of victory.

He has plenty of ideas for how to fight back.

Once Mingjing returned to the city and acquired the Iron Thorn Whip, and also obtained a level 3 E weapon, everything changed.

At this stage, Lee Sin can ignore Zoe's harassment and forcefully push the lane.

After dodging Zoe's Q, Mingjing quickly pushed the minion wave in and then started his own rhythm.

First, we need to take down Kanavi in ​​the jungle!

As a long-time teammate, Mingjing was all too aware of Kanavi's game strategy and weaknesses.

He knew that this person would definitely rebel again!

Mingjing called Jie Jie to set up positions in the lower jungle in advance, and sure enough, they caught Zhao Xin who came to invade!

JDG's coordination was actually quite good, with the bot lane duo pushing the lane and heading towards the jungle.

However, EDG's duo was prescient and acted too quickly. Before JDG's duo could even get there, Kanavi was already a corpse lying on the ground.

Seeing himself enter a gray screen, Kanavi scratched his head, knowing that this must have been Ming Jing's idea!
With that in mind, Kanavi decided to ignore everything else and focus on ganking the mid lane first!
Six minutes in, Toothpaste Zoe used her R to close in and landed a clean E on Ming Jing. Kanavi then rushed out of the bush and ganked mid!
Unfortunately, the synergy between Xin Zhao and Zoe is still somewhat inconsistent. Zoe's crowd control makes it impossible for Xin Zhao to reliably land all three hits of his Q skill.

Moreover, Ming Jing's thinking is remarkably clear. Faced with a situation of one against two, he remained calm at all. Instead, he adjusted his angle by touching his eyes and unleashed his ultimate move!

"Ichiku!"

He used his ultimate ability to kick Xin Zhao away and knock Zoe away, completing his signature kick-two-in-one combo!

Everyone knows that Ming Jing's ultimate move is all about finding the right angle; kicking two or three people at once is just a regular occurrence for him!
At the same time, Jie Jie rushed out of the bushes to provide support.

Mingjing unleashed a barrage of QE Iron Spikes on Zoe, but JieJie's Diana easily secured a kill with just one QE combo!
This move officially cemented EDG's leading position in the mid and jungle.

Once JieJie reached level six, EDG's pace became even faster. The two of them launched a four-man gank on the bottom lane, and Diana's true nature as a Malphite was revealed. She used her E to engage and then used her R to knock up two people. The other three members of EDG quickly followed up and secured two more kills!
Of course, JDG was not to be underestimated. Their mid and jungle quickly surrounded the top lane, taking down Flandre and capturing the Rift Herald, which barely stabilized the situation.

The two sides then traded blows, attacking each other in one half of the box.

JDG secured the first tower kill in the top lane with the help of the vanguard, but EDG also had their rhythm, successively controlling two dragons, and had a bright future!

At 19 minutes, a team fight broke out for the third dragon.

This time, Zoom's Gwen chose to participate directly.

Zoom's equipment is actually quite good. After all, he has taken the first tower and has three kills in hand. At this moment, he is in the two-piece set of Zhonya's Hourglass.

Even without boots, this equipment makes you a force to be reckoned with, no matter who you're fighting!
Moreover, Zoom's entry angle was perfect. He first cooperated with Kanavi to kill Viper, and then relied on the Rift and his passive lifesteal to fight a full-health Renekton all the way!
Saint Gun's Renekton is underdeveloped and is now like a super minion. All his skills are hitting Gwen, and he barely loses the same amount of health as his opponent!
In the end, Zoom managed to turn the tables and kill the crocodile with a perfect Q and Zhonya's Hourglass, even with almost no health!

A one-for-two trade and remaining alive – Zoom's performance was nothing short of superhuman!

However, EDG also has a superman on their side.

Mingjing's equipment was in no way inferior to Gwen's; he not only had the Blood Hand, but also a pair of Mercury Boots.

While the enemy's main damage dealer, Gwen, was busy eliminating her teammates, Mingjing launched a powerful attack, coordinating with Diana's initiation to quickly eliminate Zoe, then used his ward to jump in and use his ultimate (RQQ) to kill Ezreal.

At this moment, Ming Jing was faced with a low-health Gwen, as well as Zhao Xin and Luo.

Don't run!
Mingjing timed Gwen's invulnerability period perfectly, flashing in ahead of time with an E, killing the low-health Gwen and slowing Rakan down as well.

At this point, EDG's main force had been almost wiped out, with only Meiko's Leona remaining to fight alongside Mingjing, creating a 2v2 situation.

But Meiko's control also played a crucial role at this moment. Leona chased after Zhao Xin and slammed his shield, almost single-handedly blocking Zhao Xin!
Taking this opportunity, Mingjing cast [Heavenly Sound Wave] on Luo, then followed up with an attack followed by Bloodthirst, then a normal attack, then [Echo Strike], and finished off Luo!
"Quadra kill!"

The sound of Lee Sin's quadra kill echoed throughout the stadium.

"Quadra kill! Is there a penta kill?" Mao Mao's voice was intense as he turned his gaze to the other side of the battlefield. "Kanavi's Xin Zhao also turned around and killed Meiko. Both sides only have one person left. It's a royal duel."

"But it seems like Zhao Xin can't win!" Tong Xi shouted. "The Lee Sin's equipment is just too good!"

Everyone knows that Xin Zhao has no chance against Lee Sin.

The Blind Monk's Bloodthirster hasn't even been triggered yet.

Kanavi's first reaction was to run away.

Since he's alive, the Lee Sin won't dare to fight the dragon, so this four-for-four trade isn't actually a loss.

But the next second, the JDG team's championship logo suddenly lit up above Lee Sin's head.

Kanavi couldn't leave now, so he lit up the JDG championship logo and stabbed at them with an E!
It has to be said that Zhao Shenwang's combat power is amazing. With this first burst of attack, the Lee Sin's health bar immediately plummeted!
However, as Lee Sin's Bloodthirster was triggered, a thick shield pushed up most of his health, leaving Xin Zhao with no chance of winning.

"Wanla, Kanavi!" Mao Mao exclaimed dramatically from the commentary booth, "There's no way to beat them!" Ming Jing had a clear smile on his face at that moment. He used his E skill to slow the enemy down, and then his Q skill hit the target perfectly!
The outcome was decided. Ming Jing chased after Zhao Xin and threw two punches in a row. Then, he used Bloodthirst and Echo Strike to unleash a small burst of damage, instantly wiping out Zhao Xin's last quarter of health!

"Penta kill!"

The sound of Lee Sin getting a pentakill echoed loudly in the arena. Although there were no spectators in the arena, the chat room was filled with "Holy crap, flying!" which perfectly replaced that feeling.

The two commentators in the commentary booth raised their voices to an even higher level!

"Penta kill! Penta kill!" In the joyful atmosphere of the match, Mao Mao, the commentator, didn't hold back and shouted with a raised arm, "An 8-0-4 Lee Sin, his dominance is too strong!"

"Yes, a Lee Sin with two items is incredibly powerful at this stage!" Tong Xi smiled sweetly. "JD.com handled it perfectly! It's just a little bit short at the last moment!"

"That's a real shame!" Mao Mao nodded in agreement. "There are exactly twenty minutes left. If they had played better, JD Gaming could have taken Baron Nashor!"

"But it's a pity, if they don't win this round, they'll have no chance!"

In the scene, after killing everyone, Lee Sin wasn't satisfied and even took on the dragon one-on-one.

Although Lee Sin's health was low, his W ability allowed him to survive without taking any damage when fighting the dragon.

After the dragon was killed, the teammates gradually revived.

The rest of EDG rushed to the Baron pit, while Mingjing recalled to base to replenish his supplies and then teleported directly to the front!

With five kills in hand, Mingjing's equipment level has improved even further, and he has directly crafted his third resurrection armor!

While most players were still just getting one item, Lee Sin had already reached the three-item stage, further enhancing his dominance!

JDG players gradually moved in, wanting to try to initiate a team fight or steal the dragon, but found EDG's defense to be watertight and couldn't find any opportunities, so they had to give up.

"The Red Legion killed Baron Nash!"

The news of the dragon's death resounded throughout the entire arena, and the economic gap between the two sides widened to seven thousand!
"A 7,000 lead! JDG is in for a tough time this game!"

It's a bit difficult, that's just a polite way of putting it. Anyone who understands the game knows that JDG is doomed to lose this match.

Next, the game entered garbage time, and EDG steadily pushed forward as a group, relying on the Baron buff.

At 25 minutes, EDG steadily secured the Fire Dragon Soul, and the economic difference widened to 10,000. Relying on the two lanes of super minions, they launched the final push to end the game!

JDG did a pretty good job in the last team fight. Green Hair's Rakan used Gwen as a stepping stone to enter the fray, and his W knocked up three front-line heroes at the same time!
The three-C unit quickly advanced, dealing considerable AOE damage.

However, given the enormous gap, all of this is meaningless.

EDG quickly launched a counterattack, with Flandre's Renekton activating his ultimate and gaining rage, using his red-rage W to bite Zoom's Gwen.

Mingjing used a W to sneak into Gwen's circle, and with a few QRQ kicks, he happily sent Zoom away!

On the other side, jiejie's Diana used E-R-Flash to enter the fray, simultaneously pulling in four people!

"JDG's two carries simultaneously used Flash to create distance, but Viper also entered the fray!"

For some reason, several of EDG's teammates were particularly energetic today. Viper used Kalista's ultimate to pull in Meiko, then flashed into the fray, forcibly knocking away JDG's two carries who had used Flash to separate them!

After landing, the Japanese player used her ultimate to control one enemy and her Q to control the other, rendering JDG's two carries unable to move!

Kalista then unleashed a flurry of attacks, wiping out both carries!

Ming Jing continued to follow the team and deal with the front line, easily completing a crushing team fight with a punch and a kick!
"ACE!"

The sound of the team being wiped out once again echoed throughout the arena.

Mingjing once again lit up the JDG championship logo above his head, and the JDG members responded by lighting up their logos in return, thus ending the match.

"Well then, let's congratulate EDG! They swept JD Gaming 2-0, securing the final point of the 2021 Summer Regular Season!"

In the commentary booth, Mao Mao shouted loudly: "This victory means that EDG has once again achieved a perfect record in the regular season with an impressive 16-0 score!"

"This is the second time this team has achieved this feat, and one of only two such achievements in the LPL!"

"The last time was in 2016, when, under the leadership of my cousin Clearlove, EDG achieved a perfect record in the regular season and ultimately won the Summer Championship that year!"

"This time, it was my cousin Phi who took the field, and he still won every time!"

The director was very astute; he immediately switched the camera to the backstage audience, where the factory manager was sitting and watching the scene unfold, clapping with a smile.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Sometimes, you can't help but wonder if the Ming family has some special affinity for the LPL.

Can everyone who comes out of the league dominate the LPL?
Although the factory manager won the Summer Championship that year, the ending was not good. EDG encountered the championship favorite ROX in the quarterfinals and was eliminated in the quarterfinals with a score of 1-3.

This time, we need both the Summer Championship and the World Championship!

The camera cuts back to the stage, where Ming Jing stands up and slowly walks to the contestants' seats for the JD.com team.

Ming Jing was in a good mood after delivering a powerful punch to his old teammate, and he even had a clear smile on his face when he punched him.

In contrast, the people at JD.com were not so happy.

Mingjing and Zoom bumped fists, "Keep it up, see you next year!"

JD Gaming didn't even make the playoffs, and with zero summer points, they obviously don't qualify for the gauntlet, so the subsequent matches are no longer relevant to them.

Zoom and Mingjing bumped fists, their faces showing a hint of helplessness.

He was well aware that the gap between JDG and EDG was enormous, and that JDG had little chance of winning today's match.

But being thoroughly thrashed like that twice was still hard for him to accept.

Are they really that bad now?

At this time last year, even before Ming Jing was in the picture, they were confident they could compete with any team in the world.
Without the boost from the new version, they quickly returned to their pre-S10 state.

It's even worse than before.

All I can say is that Mingjing's departure was absolutely the right thing to do.

Their current strength is really not worthy of Ming Jing's talent.

"Good luck in the upcoming matches!" Zoom said earnestly. "Win all the championships!"

There is no one in this world who believes in Mingjing more than the JDG players.

Not only Zoom said so, but several of his former teammates also offered their blessings to Mingjing, including Loken.

Mingjing nodded in agreement.

"rest assured."
