LPL History

Chapter 122 Ten Thousand People Beat Drums to Celebrate the Universe Team, Ruofeng Holds the Cards and Laughs at Fate.

"WE!!"

"WE!!"

"WE!!"

At the match venue, the cheers from WE fans were deafening.

Lu Benwei, hiding backstage, muttered sourly:

"WE's fans are fucking obsessed, I'm going deaf."

Actually, he didn't have much of a feeling at first.

The key point is that among these fans' cheers, the female fans' sharper voices were particularly jarring.

Zhou Li looked up at Lu Benwei and said:

"Don't worry, Wei, you'll never have any female fans in your life."

Although the club's renovations have significantly altered everyone's appearance.

But some things that are ingrained in one's bones cannot be changed.

Just like Lu Benwei.

No matter how this guy dresses up, he still exudes an indescribable sleazy aura.

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Lu Benwei's face fell.

But Lu Benwei didn't dare to say much to Zhou Li, who had mastered both verbal and physical prowess.

Although Zhou Li has only been with EDG for a short time, he has already become the bullying leader within the team.

When it comes to verbal abuse, Zhou Li's mouth is like a Gatling gun; once it fires, it causes widespread destruction.

In terms of fists, even Death's Declaration admits that Zhou Li could easily handle the dormitory UZI, whom even he couldn't easily defeat, with just one hand.

Besides words and fists, what EDG members fear even more is the unfathomable network of relationships behind Zhou Li.

There are rumors circulating that Zhou Li is the nephew of EDG's new owner. This may seem like nonsense, but upon closer analysis, it actually makes some sense to the EDG team.

He was suddenly parachuted into EDG, directly authorized by the emperor, to replace UZI as the starting ADC.

Zhu Kai, the team manager who enjoys using others' power, always treats Zhou Li with utmost respect.

How could it be that there was no connection behind the Zhou rituals?

Of course, most importantly, Zhou Li's talent in the game is truly convincing.

This guy is someone with a mouth, fists, connections, and gaming skills. He's impeccable in every way, so let him bully you if he wants.

What else can be done?

Tabe was clearly very worried about today's match and asked:
"Brother Zhou, what's the schedule for today's match?"

Although Chris is still the current coach of EDG, in reality, all the tactical arrangements are made by Zhou Li.

Chris is only responsible for the daily training tasks.

Seeing Tabe's nervous look, Zhou Li looked at Tabe seriously and said:

"Brother, beating WE is simple, just don't feed."

As for WE, Zhou Li had been their teammate for so long, he knew exactly what they were up to.

However, WE is still in its peak period, and it will take some effort to beat them.

Of all these, the one that Zhou Li was most worried about was Tabe.

As an assistant, Tabe is actually quite clever.

The only downside is that he's getting old, and his skills are a bit lacking.

It is foreseeable that the clash in the bottom lane will directly determine the outcome of the game against WE.

WE is currently on a 48-game winning streak and is under immense pressure from their fans as they face EDG. They cannot afford to lose this match.

For the newly established EDG, whether they can defeat WE is the first and most crucial step in gaining recognition, and they cannot afford to lose.

What may seem like just an ordinary LPL Spring Split match actually saw both teams highly motivated.

The only difference might be that WE at this point underestimated EDG.

WE believes that EDG's core player is also in the bottom lane.

Then there's really nothing to worry about.

Keep in mind that their bot lane boasts the world's best ADC, Smile.

In addition, WE's tactics have always revolved around the bottom lane.

Whether it's the factory manager or Ruofeng, they always like to gravitate towards the lower levels.

In terms of tactical arrangements around the bottom lane, WE believes it is several levels above EDG.

WE might face some pressure against teams like IG, which revolve around the top laner.

However, against a team like EDG that focuses on the bottom lane, WE really can't figure out how they could lose.

TGA Official Channel.

"Hello viewers watching the live stream! Welcome to the LPL Spring Split! I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"I'm the commentator, Waa!"

"I'm the commentator Joker!"

In the commentary booth, the director announced that the live broadcast had officially begun.

"Today we're bringing you the match between WE Esports Club and EDG Esports Club! We've also invited former WE coach Joker to join our commentary team!"

It's no wonder WE is called the "super team"—even in a regular league match, they have three commentators in the commentary booth.

In fact, Joker had to beg the organizers to include him in this match.

In Joker's words, he is WE's former coach and knows WE better, so his commentary will naturally be more professional.

It's not that Joker has any deep feelings for WE.

It's just that Joker has always loved to piggyback on others' fame.

It's important to know that WE is currently the top professional League of Legends team in China.

In the ranking of domestic League of Legends teams, there is no concept of second or third place.

Only the first-place team WE, and the other teams.

Whenever WE plays, the number of viewers on the live streaming website is at least ten times higher than that of other teams' matches.

With such a huge amount of traffic, even if he has to be shameless, Joker still has to try and ride that wave.

Upon hearing Miller's words, the Joker smiled and said:

"After all, it's WE's match, and I still want to be able to watch it live!"

The child spoke:

"Most of our fans are already very familiar with WE! They currently have a terrifying 48-game winning streak! And today, they are facing EDG, the team that defeated IG in their first match of the Spring Split! Coach, how much do you know about the EDG team?"

Joker thought for a moment, then pretended to analyze it.

"I know the EDG team quite well. It used to be Royal Never Give Up. After the team changed owners, it changed its name. Actually, their team configuration hasn't changed much, except for the AD position, where there's an adjustment - as we can see, EDG's ADC player is Lion."

Joker deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of Zhou Li's ID, which immediately attracted the attention of the 60e fans.

Some of the 60s generation may not have a high level of education and may not be familiar with English.

But seeing the word "lion" still felt like a thorn, deeply piercing the eyes of the 60e.

[Damn, what does this mean compared to this ID?!]

Is this a hint that I'm parting ways with Team Wind?

He better not be, or my whole family will explode tomorrow!

[We need an explanation, otherwise EDG has no reason to exist.]

[Idiot EDG, the whole team crashed and died on their way back!]

At this time, IG eSports Club.

Everyone was gathered around the computer, watching the game.

Their matches all ended yesterday, and today is a rest day.

But the match between WE and EDG still forced them to sit in front of their computers.

Seeing that EDG had already been "crushed and killed by their whole family" by the 60e fans before the match even started, PDD clicked his tongue.

"Holy crap! These bastards are really scary, they scared me so much I even smoked my cigarette."

Sun Yalong said with a grin:

"If EDG ends WE's 48-game winning streak today, will those guys even see the sun rise tomorrow?"

Upon hearing Sun Yalong's words, PDD grinned mischievously.

"Damn, now that you mention it, I'm really looking forward to it! To be honest, EDG really has a chance to win. Zhou Li is a monster. I don't think he's necessarily worse than WeiXiao."

After speaking, he added:

"Damn it, if you and that kid had this kind of strength, IG would have been sitting on WE's head and shitting long ago."

Although Pdd and Kid had a fight before, that's how young people are; they've already made up.

Upon hearing PDD's words, Sun Yalong quipped:
"Brother, let's have another fight. I see the kid is already clenching his fists."

The attacks on EDG by fans of 60e (a popular online community) are not limited to the internet.

You should know that all of these audience members are WE fans!
Upon seeing Zhou Li's ID, after a brief confirmation and discussion, the 60e members instantly flew into a rage.

"Get out of here, you idiot!"

"Fuck XXXX!"

"EDG, your whole family is dead!"

"You son of a bitch Zhou Li, you son of a bitch!" All sorts of vulgarities were thrown at the EDG players' bench like garbage.

Even with headphones on, everyone could still hear the warm greetings from the 60e fans.

Tabe is the first red temperature.

"How can these people have such low manners!"

Zhou Li smiled indifferently:

"That's how it is with 60e."

It's actually quite a strange feeling to think about.

Just over a month ago, these 60e were still enthusiastically cheering for themselves.

Lu Benwei was clearly also provoked.

"Wow! Bro! I really can't stand these bastards anymore. If I, Lu Benwei, don't beat Ruofeng to a pulp today, I'll eat this keyboard!"

In the commentary booth, the commentators could already feel the enthusiasm of the 60e fans.

To appease the anger of the 60e, Miller asked:
"Coach, we know that WE is currently on a 48-game winning streak. Do you think WE will continue to break their winning streak in today's match?"

Upon hearing Miller's words, the Joker answered without hesitation:

"I think WE should have no problem securing their 49th consecutive win today! Although we have to admit that EDG does have some strength, I think WE is already one of the world's top teams. EDG still lacks experience, so it shouldn't be difficult for WE to win today's match."

Hearing Joker's words, Doll added fuel to the fire;

"What do you mean by 'not difficult'? Coach, why don't you just tell me directly, what's your chances of winning today's game?"

Upon hearing the doll's words, Joker immediately spoke up:

"What percentage? I think, I think it's 10/0."

"10-0? WE 10?"

Joker said with a laugh:

"Of course it's WE 10. To be honest, I don't think there's any reason for WE to lose."

After Joker finished speaking, he listened to the cheers of the audience and felt satisfied.

This wave of hype surrounding WE will likely attract a lot more 60e fans to join their ranks.

"It seems our coach has high hopes for WE! I'm sure that's what everyone's thinking too! So, can WE continue their miracle run in today's match? Both teams have entered the draft phase, let's get into the game!"

At this point, WE and EDG had already completed the substitution.

"We see that WE seems to be somewhat wary of Lion's AD carry, as they used two bans to eliminate Zhou Li's previously impressive Kog'Maw and Graves. His Kog'Maw and Graves are indeed formidable!"

Upon hearing Miller's words, the Joker corrected him:
"It's not so much that we were afraid of them, after all, EDG is also a team that focuses on the bottom lane. We can only say that WE respected their opponent."

The doll nodded and said with a smile:

"Indeed. Actually, with Smile and Curly's skill level, I feel they really can't find any opponents in the bot lane right now. Banning Kog'Maw and Graves was probably more of a tactical necessity. And for the remaining ban, they chose to ban Renekton!"

"As for EDG, they banned Karthus, Sona, and Evelynn!"

Seeing EDG's ban, Joker said in confusion:
"Hey! EDG's ban pick is just letting Twisted Fate through! Ruofeng is definitely going to pick Twisted Fate! If you let out the world's best Twisted Fate, then honestly, the game is already over!"

The doll also spoke up;

"That's true! I don't quite understand EDG's decision to ban Twisted Fate either! You know, no team dared to let Twisted Fate play against WE before!"

As expected, WE, on the blue side, locked in Twisted Fate on the first floor!

The audience of 60e went wild just from choosing a single hero.

"Ahhh! Team Wind!!"

"Wind Team! Wind Team!!"

In the live stream room, viewers of the 60e (presumably referring to a specific online community or group) flooded the screen with

[Are there any cards that dare to be leaked by the team?]

[Guys, I don't think we need to watch this anymore.]

Congratulations WE!!

Congratulations WE!!

Seeing Ruofeng select a card, Zhou Li smiled.

"Give Ah Wei the heist. Ah Wei, if you don't smash Big Nose to pieces this round, I'll shove the keyboard right out of your mouth."

This card was deliberately given to WE by Zhou Li after he saw that WE hadn't managed to ban Zed.

Lu Benwei's strength is definitely above that of the scoundrel Big Nose.

Zed is currently a very strong assassin hero.

As long as Lu Benwei doesn't act up, he can easily go and kill Ruofeng's cards after reaching level six.

Moreover, Ruofeng is a guy who really likes to play defensively during the laning phase.

I always thought that all I had to do was reach level six and then go support the bottom lane.

Therefore, Zhou Li was not worried about losing lane control in the early game.

After locking in Zed, EDG continued to lock in Volibear for the jungle position.

On WE's side, perhaps they felt the enthusiasm of the fans, or perhaps it was because Big Nose had a rare chance to get a card.

Without much hesitation, they locked Nightmare and Shen on the second and third floors!
This sent the fans at the scene into a frenzy once again!

"Wow! WE! They locked in Nightmare and Eye of Twilight! That means we've finally seen WE's signature global-roaming strategy again!! To be honest, I really didn't expect that there would still be teams that would let WE have all these heroes!"

Upon hearing Miller's words, Joker adjusted his glasses.

"To be honest, after those first three picks, I felt the game was already over! I can't even imagine how EDG can win. You're a team that revolves around the bot lane, and WE got this global-style system. EDG's bot lane is definitely going to explode in this game! I know WE too well!"

The right to choose has returned to EDG.

Zhou Li first picked Rumble for the top laner Shenchao.

In online mode, Rambo can absolutely dominate Shen without any hesitation.

It also made up for the lack of AP damage in EDG's lineup.

To put it bluntly, WE seems to have gotten the global-style lineup that they are best at.

But in reality, it was Zhou Li who deliberately let WE take it.

What is the best way to break global flow tactics?
That means we'll just blow them up online!

After several rounds of champion selection, Zed faced off against Twisted Fate in the mid lane, while Rumble faced off against Shen in the top lane.

Those are matches where you could easily get solo killed if you're not careful.

In terms of individual ability, Zhou Li had no doubt that Lu Benwei and Shenchao's laning ability was greater than Ruofeng and Caomei's.

A lead in individual skill, coupled with hero control.

WE may seem to have secured their best lineup, but in reality, all that awaits them is the agonizing laning phase.

What you need to do in the bottom lane is to withstand the pressure in the early game.

After all, when facing a global lineup, you can't possibly try to secure the advantage lanes on all three lanes.

If the bottom lane tries to gain lane priority again, it could very well become WE's weak point.

So Zhou Li directly locked up Lulu, the Fairy Witch, for Tabe.

WE, on the other hand, were very confident in locking in the Ezreal and Blitzcrank combination in the bottom lane!
These two heroes are the signature heroes of both Smile and Curly.

It's fair to say that the lineup WE used to win this game was their best lineup!
This sparked another climax among the 60e audience members.

Listening to the enthusiastic cheers of the female fans at the scene, Zhou Li wondered if the seats in the audience would be overflowing with water by the end of the match.

The right to choose has returned to EDG.

After thinking it over, Zhou Li finally locked in Vayne, the Night Hunter, for himself.

Ultimately, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side: WE Esports Club VS Red side: EDG Esports Club.

Top lane: (caimei) Twilight Eye VS (godlike) UZI.

Jungler: (troll) Eternal Nightmare VS (lucky) Volibear.

Mid Lane: (Misaya) Twisted Fate VS (White) Zed.

ADC: (wx) Ezreal VS (lion) Vayne.

Support: (FZZF) Robot VS (Tabe) Purple Garlic.

Joker couldn't help but laugh as he watched EDG's last pick.

"Huh? EDG, how dare he?! He actually picked Vayne as his last pick? Facing a lineup like WE's, which is clearly targeting your bot lane, how could he still pick Vayne?"

Miller also spoke up:

"Indeed, it feels like EDG's champion pick was a bit ill-considered. The bot lane is destined to have a tough time in this game. But perhaps it's because Lion has a lot of confidence in his own abilities."

In the live stream, the 60e fans had already started their second wave of celebrations.

[666, this guy dares to pick Vayne? Has he never died before?]

[This is hilarious, they're just looking for a beating.]

[Awesome! I want to see WE utterly crush Xiao Heizi!]

[EDG is trash, may their entire family be wiped out!]

All I can say is, congratulations to WE!

Congratulations WE!!
