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

Chapter 536 Another Spring and Summer Champions! Aiming for a Three-Peat!

"What do you think? Can DWG still defend their base?"

As soon as the doll finished speaking, Kai'Sa even used a large red potion, wanting to make one last desperate attempt.

But just as Kai'Sa was about to use her E skill to become invisible, and had just raised her hand to attack,

Without any apparent reason, Lee Sin unleashed his Q skill to the left!

The next second, he perfectly predicted Kai'Sa's position!
Follow up with a second Q!
Lee Sin's damage is explosive!
Then, he unleashed a short AEA combo.

Kai'Sa was instantly reduced to a sliver of health.

Finished with a final dragon tail sweep.

"Lee Sin, the Blind Monk, has killed Kai'Sa, the Daughter of the Void!"

"Godlike!!"

"Legendary!"

Beryl closed his eyes as he watched Kai'Sa, who had just gone invisible for a second but was then kicked to death by Lee Sin.

"Gone!"

What can you do if the ADC dies first?!

"Kaisa's down again! Buclear's dead again! EDG's going to make a comeback!"

"Congratulations to EDG for successfully leading the LPL region to victory in this Rift Rivals tournament!"

After Kai'Sa's death, the EDG team had already destroyed all the inhibitor turrets.

Right now, all EDG players care about is this base's main crystal.

With DWG's ADC already dead, how much damage could the others possibly do?

The next second, DWG's Nexus exploded!
The game is over in 23 minutes!
"it is finally over."

Meiko took off her headphones with a sigh of relief, while the other EDG members next to her happily hugged each other.

The final game of this best-of-five series had everyone on the edge of their seats.

DWG almost forced EDG into their rhythm.

They're practically one dragon away from turning the tide.

If DWG really manages to take down that Baron Nashor, they might really turn the tide!

Wang Yao, who had just stood up after taking a sip of water, was still in shock when Coach Maokai led the other three teams onto the stage and gave them a big hug.

"Brilliant!"

"Holy crap, that's incredible!"

"Brother Yao, your Lee Sin play was ruthless!"

"..."

No one knows better than those sitting in the audience, with a bird's-eye view of the whole situation, who is the biggest contributor to this game.

In that wave, Sion pushed too far into the lane and was caught by the enemy.

Scout, as if he'd lost his mind, did something like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, rushing to deliver one of them to the grave.

Then, as DWG recklessly rushed Baron Nashor, they had already planned what they would say at the apology meeting.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yao's Blind Monk was able to descend to earth like a saint, turning the tide with a single kick.

In the end, they managed to crush DWG and forcefully interrupt DWG's Baron Nashor rhythm.

He turned the tide again, and it was his decisive kick that allowed EDG to successfully end the game.

Miller stood up excitedly and shouted, "A team fight sealed the victory! Let's congratulate Kshine on winning the LPL championship at this year's LOL Asia Rift Rivals!"

Watching the EDG players line up and walk towards the DWG match room, Guan Zeyuan sighed:
"This match was full of twists and turns, and it can be said that DWG has pushed EDG to the brink of elimination."

"But Kshine's Lee Sin single-handedly turned the tide and pulled off a miraculous comeback!"

"Let the audience cheer! This is an honor that EDG deserves!"

Seeing Wang Yao leading the way, the five members of DWG, who were ready to welcome him, felt a mix of emotions and their expressions were extremely complicated.

Faced with Wang Yao's outstretched right hand, Nuguri instinctively bowed and bent down, extending both hands to shake it back.

He remained as humble as ever, even to the point of being obsequious.

The Korean viewers, who were already extremely upset, instantly lost their composure upon seeing this scene.

They started a war of words on social media, criticizing Nuguri's behavior relentlessly.

The LCK commentators, however, didn't seem to have much of an impression of this scene.

For them, the strong are respected, even if it goes a little too far.

“We can see that Nuguri has great respect for Wang Yao.”

"Yes, after all, they are double champions of all of Riot Games' international tournaments, and including this year's Rift Rivals, Kshine has won two consecutive Rift Rivals titles."

"Yes, it's a pity for Lee Sang-hyeok. He's still missing an Intercontinental Championship trophy in his Grand Slam journey. It's a bit of a shame."

"Moreover, in Niu Guli's eyes, Kshine is probably a highly respected senior."

"Yes, Kshine's performance was impeccable, whether as the AD carry in S7 or the mid laner in S8!"

As the five starting players of EDG walked to the front of the stage and bowed, the LCK commentators couldn't help but sigh.

Whether he plays ADC, mid lane, or jungle this year, this man is LCK's archenemy!

After bowing to thank the audience, the entire EDG team left the stage.

Although the Roaring Emperor's steps were heavy, his face was filled with a professional smile, and he opened his mouth with his classic roar to begin the awards ceremony.

The LCK team lounge was filled with groans and lamentations.

Faker sat with his head down, seemingly lost in thought, while Khan also looked withdrawn.

Faker is alright, he was just prevented from winning a Grand Slam.

Khan, on the other hand, is in a terrible situation.

I was hoping to join SKT and win a championship, even if it's just MSI or the Rift Rivals.

But every time he encountered Wang Yao, he would be reduced to a background figure.

Who can withstand this?

Backstage, the EDG members were surrounded by their brother teams.

Everyone cheered and celebrated wildly.

Although EDG has already won the Intercontinental Cup once, and IG players have also won it.

But for the players of JDG and TES, this kind of world-class championship honor is still a first for most of them.

Seeing their ecstatic expressions, Wang Yao smiled as well.

To be honest, this championship is already dispensable to him.

Even after winning the championship, he didn't experience much emotional fluctuation.

Or rather, the subsequent awards ceremony was far less stimulating and exciting than facing DWG directly; he felt more at peace.

There's no way around it, we've already won so many championships.

But Wang Yao will still give his all to win every game, driven by his desire for victory.

Throughout the rest of the awards ceremony, Wang Yao maintained a similar expression.

I can't say I'm happy, nor can I say I'm unhappy; I'm just very calm.

He enjoys the competition itself more; that's the real battlefield that gets his blood pumping.

After the awards ceremony concluded and the event officially closed, all the LPL team members gathered together to celebrate, having a blast before boarding their planes back home the next day.

Wang Yao didn't stay behind to wander around either, and returned to China with the main group.

……

Here, a week after the Intercontinental Cup ended, the LPL Summer Split has reignited.

EDG's hat trick at the Intercontinental Cup was unparalleled.

It could even be said that Wang Yao single-handedly formed an army and single-handedly defeated the LCK region.

His victory was like a ray of dawn for the LPL region, but also like a dark cloud looming over it.

Wang Yao's performance as a jungler at this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational and Rift Rivals has left other team players feeling quite apprehensive.

Especially LPL junglers.

The shadow hanging over the LPL seems even deeper, leaving no room for them to maneuver.

Looking at the other LPL junglers, who all seemed terrified, Wang Yao could only feel helpless.

Unbeknownst to him, he seemed to have become the villain in both the LPL and LCK regions.

Since that's the case, let's play a couple of games with Sejuani and Gragas, just to coast through the regular season and give our teammates some extra strength.

Subsequently, in EDG's matches, Wang Yao almost always played Sejuani and Gragas.

Occasionally, I'll also play a couple of games with simple and straightforward heroes like Prince Zhao and Xin Zhao, to try and get through the game in a different way.

This scene shocked everyone.

"Brother Yao is at it again."

"You didn't play in the Spring Split, and you just coasted through the Summer Split? You're something else, Yao-ge!"

"Okay, okay, let's play like this!"

"I'm dying of laughter. Brother Yao really knows how to maintain his health. He starts the internal war and then launches a heavy attack on the external war."

"No... Where are the Lee Sin, Graves, Rek'Sai, Nidalee, and Elise that I wanted to see?!"

"This is hilarious! Is this all just for the show?! (doge) (doge)"

"That's how it is with jungling. Teammates in other positions just need to focus on laning and carrying, while the jungler has to consider many other things."

"..."

Although Wang Yao returned to the LPL league and started to "slack off" with Sejuani and Gragas, his teammates were really supportive.

After returning from the Mid-Season Invitational and the Intercontinental Cup, several teammates seemed to have a change of heart.

Not only are the online matchups getting better, but the coordination and cooperation between them are also becoming closer.

Therefore, EDG continues their winning streak.

The playoffs have officially begun, with FPX facing off against SNG in Group A in their first match of the playoffs. FPX ultimately won 3-1 and successfully advanced.

Although FPX is a relatively new team, having only been established for less than two years, they nearly emptied EDG's bench with a record-breaking transfer fee during last year's winter transfer window. Top laner GimGoon, championship-winning jungler Tian, ​​mid laner Doinb, and bot lane duo Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong – these five players have excellent synergy.

They've already shown the momentum to win the championship in the LPL!

On the other hand, SNG's lineup was slightly inferior in terms of both raw strength and equipment.

In particular, the mid and support players Maple and SwordArt from Flash Wolves (FW) were completely outmatched by FPX's mid and support players throughout the game.

The subsequent quarterfinal match was between IG and LNG.

The final result was astonishing.

Li Ning actually crushed IG with a score of 3-0!

That's right, IG messed up!
In these three games, IG delivered a disastrous performance.

In the first game, IG drafted a mixed lineup that didn't quite fit any particular style.

A top lane Aatrox, a jungle Skarner, a mid lane Karma, an ADC Varus, and a support Tahm Kench—a lineup where it's unclear who can carry.

Let's take a look at the opposing LNG's lineup: Camille in the top lane, Sejuani in the jungle, Corki in the mid lane, Kai'Sa as the ADC, and Rakan as the support.

A lineup that can be played as long as the game drags on for more than 25 minutes and the economic difference between the two sides does not exceed 5000.

But not only was the lineup poorly chosen, the players' performances were also disastrous.

When Ning got the hero Scorpion, it really proved his point.

Are you going to give me a weak hero every game?!

How do I play?!

In the end, the Scorpion, who finished 1-5, was completely ineffective and sleepwalked throughout the game.

In the second game, Ning was benched by IG's coach and LeYe was brought up to play Karthus jungle.

As a result, Li Ning countered by pulling out their "ancestral" double AD lineup of Tristana and Kai'Sa. How do you plan to deal with that?!
When Zhuge Liang meets Pang Tong, it's bound to be a battle of the century!
However, at this moment, Shy is completely obsessed with AD top lane.

After acquiring Kennen, they opted for an AD build, which in turn gave the opposing LNG top laner, Vladimir, an opportunity to shine.

In the end, the vampire dominated the team fight, dealing the highest damage of the entire match at 28,000, and ending the game with a perfect 4-0 score.

LNG instantly pushed IG to the brink of defeat, causing a huge uproar online.

But this is just an appetizer.

In the final third game, Baolan finally couldn't hold back any longer.

A 0-11 Alistar player "speed-killed" his own team IG in 26 minutes.

At the same time, he beat Ah Shui, who was sitting next to him, so badly that his scalp tingled, and so badly that all the IG fans in the live stream began to question their existence.

In fact, you can see from this Intercontinental Cup that IG has a lot of problems right now.

They can no longer win games with the same ease as last year's IG team.

Ning, whose performance had previously declined, started to recover, but then Rookie ran into problems again.

His inconsistent performance, as the team's central nervous system, could really be the death knell for IG.

This problem became very apparent in the match against DWG.

There seemed to be some problems with the team's coordination, and DWG won that match smoothly.

At the Intercontinental Cup, it seems that IG can only bully the LMS region and the experienced players from Vietnam.

When facing teams from the LCK that are slightly stronger, their true strength will be revealed.

This is not just a problem with the players.

It's a problem for the entire team, from top to bottom.

Since Coach Kim Jung-soo left the team, the position of head coach of IG has been given to Kim193, coach Kim Gye-ram.

I originally thought that with a height of 193cm and a body trained in Taekwondo, IG would become stronger and stronger under the tutelage of such a formidable person, but in reality, they were all show and no substance.

Compared to coaches in other LCK regions, 193 should theoretically have a good ability to coach teams, given his control over them.

But in reality, he had very little say in the team.

Players like Ning, who don't usually play ranked games, take Wang Yao as their role model, and believe in the myth of "slacking off in the regular season and making a big splash in the world championship."

He should be treated as a typical troublemaker and taught a lesson.

But in reality, he has no binding force whatsoever!
Actually, Wang Yao felt a little sorry for Ning Wang, who changed into a new pair of shoes every day without repeating the same pair, turning into a shoe king.

If Wang Yao knew that Prince Ning was using his excuse of "slacking off" as a pretext...

Knowing what he was thinking, I was determined to change his mind.

Just kidding, who am I, Wang Yao? I'm the chosen one with cheat codes!
How can you use his wall hanging as a reference point?

In fact, from a certain perspective, Wang Yao personally approves of the Korean coaching system.

Young people need to be strictly controlled; don't give them a chance to make mistakes, because if they do, they're likely to go astray.

This is not an exaggeration. The LCK region is not lacking in talented players, and the same is true for other regions such as the LPL.

However, in the LPL, talented players frequently turn into mediocre ones, while such incidents are rare in the LCK.

The difference lies in the ownership of power within the club and the coach's ability to control the players.

In the LPL, star players can sometimes undermine the coach's authority and even put pressure on the drafting coach.

That would never happen in the LCK; anyone who questions the coach's authority would be relegated to the bench.

Therefore, the LCK region is very competitive in the World Championship every year.

Despite G2's impressive performance in the European and American regions, dominating Korean teams, others seem to subconsciously overlook the fact that there is only one G2 in Europe and America!

G2 has been the strongest team in Europe every year, but the top teams in LCK are all different every year. This is the difference between a strong region and a strong team.

Knowing the future trends, Wang Yao naturally hopes that his region can become more standardized and have a brighter future.

At the very least, he doesn't want the same group of players who were key players in the league a few years ago to still be key players a few years later.

S3 and S4 are the games those people are playing.

In Seasons 13, 14, and even 15, it was still the same people!
However, it's not just the coaches and teammates of IG who are starting to have mental problems.

Even the team's management has been making breathtaking decisions!

IG, suddenly in the eye of the storm, really surprised LPL fans, who couldn't help but ask: What exactly happened to our little IG!
Regardless, IG is now out of contention for the Summer Split championship, having been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.

In an instant, Baolan and Ning were bombarded with criticism on Weibo.

Ning was alright; he directly admitted that his poor performance had let his teammates down.

That's just his personality; he admits his mistakes and doesn't talk back when others criticize him.

Xiao Bao's situation is more complicated.

Anyway, it's all about shifting blame; if there's a mistake, everyone's at fault, and I can't be the only one to blame.

This ignited the anger of IG team fans.

No matter how many older female fans Baolan has, she can't possibly have more fans than Ah Shui.

Ah Shui, that unlucky AD carry, also received a lot of sympathy from the public, and incidentally, Ning's firepower was also absorbed by Baolan.

Baolan is in trouble.

He not only had to take the blame for the loss on the field, but also for his words and actions that shirked responsibility, and he received a warning from within the company to have his salary deducted.

The joke about the sapphire blue being the handle of a trident from the previous life also began to spread in this life, becoming a laughing stock across the internet.

Bao Lan, who is naturally shy and sensitive to outside opinions, was so overwhelmed by the criticism she received that she became withdrawn.

This also led Baolan to another extreme.

"It's useless for the support to stand in front. The opponents aren't Bronze or Silver players, so who cares about your support?"

"The support only takes 20 HP with one auto-attack, so it's better not to auto-attack at all!"

"Once the support has used their crowd control abilities, they should leave. Why must they die with the AD carry?"

……

Countless classic quotes began to circulate.

Sapphire Blue has also become Princess Blue, commonly known as the Good Baby.

He does whatever people ask him to do, and he does it well and steadily. He looks ahead when asked to look ahead, and he carries out the task when asked to carry out the task.

It became an assistant that didn't require too many personal ideas!

However, none of these things have much to do with Wang Yao. As the soul of EDG, what he needs to do is achieve the feat of winning three consecutive championships in his professional career.

……

LNG, who eliminated the championship favorites IG, didn't enjoy their triumph for long.

On the third day, UZI, who was in godlike form, taught them a lesson and carried them home with a 3-1 score.

In the final playoff semifinals, after a relatively mild competition, EDG, with six wins out of eight games, successfully won the championship and claimed the glory of the Summer Split title.

Wang Yao, holding the Summer Championship trophy, staged a legendary performance.

The player with the highest honors in the LPL, the only player in the LPL to achieve a Grand Slam, and the player who achieved a Grand Slam the fastest.

As for the subsequent qualifying matches, they had nothing to do with EDG or Wang Yao.

Of course, EDG cannot simply lay low and let their troops rest.

After entering the World Championship as the LPL's number one seed, Zhu Kai and Mao Kai also began to study their opponents in the World Championship.

Despite winning a crucial victory in the LPL Summer Split, the two coaches and the management of the EDG team remained tense and showed no signs of complacency.

Even though EDG is almost winning again this year.

Starting with this year's Spring Split, then the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), then the Rift Rivals, and now the Summer Split.

They've won so many trophies they're overwhelmed, and their internet traffic is overflowing.

As for Wang Yao's high signing fee, he has already earned it back.

But this is not the end.

With the most important S9 World Championship remaining, EDG is just one step away from achieving another Grand Slam in a year.

They've been crowned the unprecedented triple champions!
This is an achievement that even the peak SKT team couldn't accomplish.

However, teams that make it to the World Championship always have a few special skills.

In particular, teams from the LCK and LPL regions are no less stable or cooperative than EDG.

These teams will be a major threat to their World Championship campaign.
