LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 110 Damn! No champagne at halftime!

"2-0! Congratulations to EDG for winning another game and taking the match point!"

Wang Ji, who was in the commentary booth, was overjoyed.

"EDG is leading LZ by a large margin! They are just one step away from the finals at the Bird's Nest! After three years, the LPL region will soon have a team that can make it to the finals!"

Colonel Guan's voice was equally excited.

At this moment, the LPL audience at the scene was going wild. The entire Oriental Sports Center was filled with cheers and applause. The applause and cheers of tens of thousands of people merged into a wave of sound that swept the entire venue, rising and falling continuously!
Everyone was cheering and shouting for this EDG team.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was flooded with messages, with countless messages filling the network channel.

"EDG! The eternal gods of the LPL! They utterly crushed Samsung and annihilated Dragonball! Who else can rival them!"

What exactly constitutes the prestige of being the top seed in the LPL?

"With Kshine covering for him in the bottom lane, Kshine was able to play completely unrestrained at this year's World Championship. Finally, he doesn't have to be criticized for being a quarterfinalist, sob sob!"

"What a top-tier professional player! They carried a team that was only at the top eight all the way to the finals! Please choose Draven for the championship AD skin!"

"Hey, stop jinxing EDG, okay? You absolutely have to stay calm, Seven! Don't let them do anything like popping champagne at halftime, that's absolutely not allowed!"

"Damn it! No champagne at halftime!"

"..."

On the EDG players' bench, everyone took off their headphones, their faces beaming with excitement and happy smiles.

With a score of 2-0, they have one foot in the Bird's Nest stadium and are just one step away from securing a ticket to the finals!
This is the first time since the team was founded that EDG has had a chance to reach the finals. After years of pursuing his dream, Clearlove can finally stand on the competition stage he has been dreaming of and compete with his opponents for the championship trophy!

Meiko and Aguang couldn't contain their excitement and jumped up and down in excitement. With a 2-0 lead, EDG had almost secured the final victory in the semifinals.

"Haha! We're going into the Bird's Nest!"

"You guys played amazingly well this game! Mouse, you played Camille really well, you even managed to go up against Khan!"

"Khan is nothing! Even if SKT's Huni comes, I'll still beat him!" A-Guang laughed happily, pulling Meiko and Wang Yao along.

"Calm down, there's still one more round."

As the captain of EDG, Clearlove intervened in time to stop Meiko from getting too excited. Clearlove wouldn't dare to open the champagne until the game was completely over.

Wang Yao, who remained calm and composed, nodded to everyone, telling them to calm down first and celebrate after defeating LZ.

The memory of RNG being defeated by EDG in the Summer Finals this year is still fresh in everyone's mind. The EDG players involved cannot afford to make the same mistake again.

"Alright, alright! Let's go back and talk about it later!"

When everyone returned to the backstage lounge, the MVP selection for the previous round was announced, and without a doubt, it was Wang Yao's policewoman!
Vayne, who led the team to victory, and Caitlyn, who turned the tide of the battle, achieved brilliant results one after another. Wang Yao, who made some outstanding plays, won the MVP award twice in a row.

It's important to understand that the reason LZ is a strong offensive team centered around their top and jungle lanes is because their bot lane duo, Xuanming and Gu, possess top-tier offensive and defensive capabilities!
Even SKT's two-time world champion bot lane duo couldn't necessarily break through LZ's bot lane defenses, but against Wang Yao, LZ's proud "Xuanming Duo" were utterly defeated. Especially Wang Yao's Vayne, with his various solo kills in lane and his impactful team fights, earned him a lot of goodwill from the audience.

"Great! Great! Everyone's performance in these two games was absolutely perfect!" Manager Abu was so happy he could hardly contain himself. He really wanted to give each of the EDG players a Mua!

After their defeat at the S6 World Championship, EDG was basically in a rebuilding phase. Fortunately, with Clearlove and Scout still performing well, they were able to advance to this year's S7.

Wang Yao's appearance perfectly completed the final piece of the puzzle in EDG's journey to the championship!
"Everyone, stay calm and don't let your guard down. Let's take Dragon Ball 3-0! Let's make it to the finals together!"

Abu tried his best to suppress his inner excitement. He couldn't wait to pop champagne and celebrate, but with RNG's painful example before him, he had to hold back.

This is the World Championship hosted by the LPL! And it's being held at the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing, so the amount of traffic and attention it will receive is likely to be unprecedented!

Once EDG makes it to the finals, it will be an esports craze that breaks through the boundaries of esports, a nationwide League of Legends frenzy!

If EDG can capitalize on this wave of attention and traffic, they'll definitely receive a massive amount of commercial sponsorships.

Moreover, the LPL will officially start its league system next year, which will greatly enhance the commercial value of the league. At that time, EDG will become a top-tier super team!
With the money, EDG can maintain its current roster immediately, and Clearlove and Meiko will definitely be able to renew their contracts.

The key is Wang Yao, whose contract is about to expire!

Once Wang Yao's contract with EDG expires, all LPL teams will definitely be willing to offer him a top salary to poach him.

With money and a wealthy sponsor, EDG can easily retain this top-tier ADC player at the highest possible salary!

Most of the top salaries were paid by the sponsors, so the EDG owner didn't actually spend much money. Wow! This operation was perfect!

Of course, the premise is that EDG must convince Wang Yao to stay with EDG, after all, with Wang Yao's hot streak, even the LCK might want to come and snatch him away.

"Don't be too nervous, everyone. LZ is already at his limit. Just go all out and fight," Coach Nofe said.

In the third game, EDG will return to the blue side. In this version, the blue side has a higher win rate than the red side and has an advantage in bans.

The red team (LZ) has to ban Kalista, ban Karma, and even pick Lucian from the enemy team.

With so few ban slots, OP really doesn't have enough!
If LZ and EDG had picked their champions normally and gone for a fight, they might not have won a game. Khan has an advantage over Mouse in the top lane, but how do you explain my bot lane dominating Mouse in two consecutive games?
Cuzz, if you dare to gank Khan in the top lane, I, Clearlove, will gank LZ's bot lane four-man gank and cripple them.

This version is all about ADCs farming and taking over the game. Without Jayce, Khan is really just so-so and can't change the course of the battle on his own.

In terms of the draft phase, LZ has run out of tricks left. Their tanky support Titan looks like a ridiculous joke now.

Just as Nofe predicted, the LZ's lounge was now completely silent and deserted, everyone was so badly beaten that they were practically withdrawn.

Even the usually calm and composed Xuanming Elders were starting to lose their composure.

Before the semifinals began, they thought LZ would lose, but they didn't expect to lose so thoroughly, to be completely crushed by EDG!
Samsung is the third seed from LCK, and they almost beat EDG, but LZ got completely crushed and beaten without any chance to fight back.

This is truly hard to accept for the Dragon Ball players who have dominated the LCK.
