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

Chapter 288 The invincible LCK region will definitely return.

When Mingjing woke up again, it was already 10 a.m. the next day.

Compared to the training days of the previous days, Ming Jing got up a little later, probably because the pressure had decreased significantly after winning the championship, and his nerves were much more relaxed.

Ming Jing stared at the ceiling, briefly searching his memory.

After watching the aurora yesterday, the two did not linger outside for long.

Actually, it's quite tough to be out in the cold wind in the wild. The two of them were just enduring it for the sake of the aurora. Now that they've seen the aurora and achieved their goal, they should quickly retreat and head back to the city to hide.

After sending Song Xuan back to his hotel, the two held hands and chatted for a long time, agreeing to meet again at the CMO competition. Finally, they hugged gently and parted ways.

This is EDG's second time in Iceland. When they won the MSI, they had already explored all around Reykjavik, so the scenery here no longer held much appeal for them. The team had no intention of staying in Iceland and would head home the day after the finals.

Looking at Flandre, who was still fast asleep beside him, Ming Jing thought for a moment and simply took out his phone to check his messages.

Song Xuan seemed to have gotten up quite early; an hour ago, she sent Ming Jing photos taken at the beach. The girl had a medal around her neck and a bright smile, as if she was reminding Ming Jing of something.

Upon seeing the medal, Ming Jing suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask for it back yesterday.

"Remember to bring it when you become CMO."

"Hehe, I will."

After chatting with Song Xuan for a couple of minutes, Ming Jing switched out of the forum and continued browsing in the bathroom.

Even after a night, the epic buzz surrounding EDG's championship victory has not subsided, and discussions on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) remain heated.

Has anyone else watched the replay again like me?

[There are tons of those, bro. Yesterday, 300,000 people were watching the recorded stream on Bilibili simultaneously. You think that's fake?]

[It got over ten million views in just one night, that's amazing!]

The last post at the bottom is a screenshot of the final replay posted by the official Bilibili tournament account. The replay has already reached 12 million views, and there are still more than 10,000 people watching at the same time. It's only a matter of time before the view count breaks the record.

Ming Jing thought for a moment, then seemed to have thought of something. He specifically opened Bilibili and refreshed the homepage notifications a few times.

Sure enough, a video came into view.

EDG! Double champion Xiaofei dominates the ages! GOAT crowned! Destroyed DK! Disbanded the LCK region! Beat the Koreans to their knees! The most exhilarating episode in LPL history!

Seeing this title, it's hard not to click and take a look.

The first thing that came on was the secondary commentary from several of JDG's chubby guys, who were watching the draft phase of the first game of the finals.

With EDG finally picking Ivern and Aphelios, and shifting their already locked Lucian to the mid lane, JDG players instantly went wild!

"Holy crap, a swaying move!" Green Hair exclaimed, his eyes wide. "Mid lane Lucian paired with Ivern? That feels like a guaranteed win!"

Mingjing's Lucian is a force to be reckoned with. Ever since he picked him at MSI and crushed DK, he hasn't been picked at all in the Summer Split. He's just been banned to buy houses!
This was also thanks to the designers' mercy; they gave Lucian a slight nerf in solo lane and then compensated him with a passive that only works when paired with a support, thus pushing Lucian to the bottom lane.

Otherwise, EDG's opponents wouldn't be able to draft!

But unexpectedly, EDG also had a trick up their sleeve, by locking down Ivern, a jungler with a soft support role, and forcing Lucian to return to the mid lane!

"This is definitely Mingjing's idea!" Toothpaste said leisurely, lying on the gaming chair. "He always comes up with all sorts of crazy ideas."

The rest of the JDG members nodded in agreement, not denying it.

The outcome was not unexpected.

Lucian quickly began to make his mark, first with a solo kill, then with a team fight where he secured a kill, expanding his advantage significantly.

At this point, the camera cuts to the DK supporters.

Seeing EDG establish such a huge advantage, even Showmaker's most filial son, Xuan Shen, was getting anxious.

"What are you doing? They have two support champions, Lulu and Ivern, how can you possibly kill them instantly? Where's your Korean team's kiting strategy?"

The impatience is palpable!
Doinb from Douyu also looked uneasy. As is well known, Doinb has always harbored a one-sided hostility towards Mingjing.

It's not because he's Korean and has to stand up for his compatriots.

Firstly, Mingjing's championship win last year overshadowed FPX's championship, effectively stealing Doinb's niche as a champion player.

Secondly, Mingjing really got crushed by FPX in this summer split.

Doinb, who has just secured a spot in the top 16, is hoping that the LPL region will also decline.

If EDG wins the championship, his popularity will inevitably decrease further!
"Ouch, this wave..." Big B muttered subconsciously, but quickly realized he had lost his composure, and then immediately forced a smile, "Well done, Little Fei! Lucian needs to build Kraken, brothers, the damage is just too high!"

But what he was really thinking was: "So you're summoning a siren? I'll catch you and kill you!"

And that was indeed the case. DK took advantage of Lucian's lack of Windfury and successfully ambushed him.

Seeing that the ambush was successful, Doinb was overjoyed and extremely excited, but a few seconds later, his smile quickly faded.

What the hell is this?! Three against one and they still got two killed!

The first game was over in the first half with Lucian's comeback kill, and the second game quickly followed.

Unexpectedly, DK performed exceptionally well in the second game, successfully seizing the initiative in the early clashes with EDG and continuously expanding their advantage!

Seeing the hope of victory, Xuan Shen and Doinb became excited again.

Although the two were still pretending to offer advice to EDG, their excitement was undeniable.

However, the two players clearly did not expect that EDG, who rarely plays from a disadvantageous position, would be surprisingly resilient in this game. With Twisted Fate constantly moving around, they maintained their disadvantage and prevented the gap from widening, while feeding Kennen a player who was not lagging behind in gold.

Subsequently, Kennen's Thunderfury in a team fight reversed the economic gap.

Their faces stiffened again.

Finally, the card used the Elder Dragon to create space and initiate a base steal, but Zhao Lijie's Jarvan IV interrupted both of their teleports with an EQ combo, leaving the two completely desperate!

Doinb wanted to cry but couldn't; his forced smile to win over fans was the most humorous thing about him. "That's amazing, Xiaofei!"

On the other side, EDG's supporters were in a sea of ​​joy, everyone was incredibly excited!
Former JDG teammates, De Yun Se, Uzi, JackeyLove, and others were all excited and full of praise for EDG's comeback!
In the third game, this emotion was amplified even further.

The overwhelming victory in the third game made everyone feel that the championship was about to be won, and everyone sang and danced.

On the other side, although Doinb was saying celebratory words, his gloomy expression was completely undisguised.

Xuan Shen even shut down the live stream immediately, not wanting to watch the match for even a minute longer.

Wolf, a LCK legend, two-time champion support player, and nicknamed the "Korean Wolf Warrior," was completely devastated, stating that EDG is the current version of the game's bug, and that this loss was not because DK was too weak, but because EDG was too strong.

The final shot showed the LCK commentary booth.

After shouting "GG" loudly with his commentary partner, the Roaring Emperor began to sigh and lament as he brought the World Championship to a close.

"What a pity, in the end the opponent was still a step ahead." The Roaring Emperor stopped roaring and only sighed, "Thank you to both sides for giving us a wonderful BO5 today, worthy of the name of the finals!"

"Finally, let's cheer for DK. Although they lost the match, their performance deserves our respect."

"But please believe that one day, the invincible LCK region will definitely return. Let's all look forward to that day!"

The Roaring Emperor's final speech was deeply moving, and the viewers in the live chat found it very comforting.

In the past, these were the words of LPL commentators. But after LPL's four consecutive championships, the tables have finally turned!
However, Ming Jing didn't have a deep understanding of it, since he debuted during the era of LPL's two consecutive championships and didn't personally experience the era when Korean teams dominated.

I guess my cousin feels it more deeply.

Without giving it much thought, Mingjing got up, washed up, packed his luggage, and prepared to return home.
