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

Chapter 603 LPL Galactic Battleship! JKL's Wish for Spring Championship FMVP is Fulfilled!

On the field, the game has begun.

In the match between EDG and IG, IG is not entirely without a chance of winning, and there is even a high probability that they can put up a good fight against EDG.

After all, IG has a complete mid, top, and jungle lineup. As long as the bot lane holds its own, IG has a good chance of crushing EDG by focusing on the top side of the map.

this time period.

Although there have been many changes within the IG team, their core competitiveness remains. With TheShy and Rookie on the team, this IG team won't be too bad.

However, compared to EDG, a group of "old guys" who have been tempered by countless world championships, they are obviously still some distance behind.

In the first game, IG was able to trade blows in the early stages.

But once EDG started focusing on resource team fights in the mid-game, IG's entire rhythm was thrown into chaos!
After holding out for 30 minutes, EDG secured Baron Nashor, wiped out their entire team, and pushed to the base.

At this point, the entire game came to an end.

Second round.

This time it was even worse. To everyone's surprise, this IG team suffered a humiliating defeat against EDG!

JKL even brought out his signature Draven, clearly having a blast.

With Wang Yao's help, IG's bot lane duo was being ganked so much they were going crazy, while JKL's Draven kept diving the tower and taking down the opponent, leaving Su Xiaoluo in the backstage area wanting to cry.

But JKL was someone he personally let go, so he had to accept this unfortunate reality.

In short, after the match, IG's new AD carry, Puff, looked completely off, with a dazed and bewildered expression, as if he no longer knew who he was.

TheShy in the top lane and Rookie in the mid lane exchanged a knowing smile, resignedly accepting the reality of being utterly crushed by EDG.

One best-of-three series perfectly demonstrated that EDG is still the same EDG!

Even after another version change, they are still ridiculously powerful!

As a result, everyone discovered a terrifying fact.

"Wow? Is Yu Wenbo really that fierce?"

"Just kidding, Ah Shui would be the male lead anywhere, okay? If it weren't for Yao Ge in his prime, Incheon would have been IG's champion that year."

"Which LPL team dares to say they can beat this EDG team?"

"IG is so lucky! Su Xiaoluo let her brother go, giving my brother an S10 championship for free."

"They're already choosing championship skins at the start of the Spring Split? That's insane!"

"..."

Just like everyone says.

Even with a new bot lane AD carry, this current EDG team remains at the top of the LPL!

In some ways, EDG seems to be performing even better this season than they did in S9 last year!

iboy left and JKL came in, this is definitely a buff!
This year's EDG is the only super team in the LPL!
no way.

Three S-rank championships!

This honor alone is enough to make other teams' scalps tingle!
In fact, EDG did indeed sweep through the Spring Split in the following season!
Even without Wang Yao playing, and with Jiejie, a rookie, playing instead, EDG basically swept aside a host of LPL teams.

Against RNG, 2-0!

Against Snake, 2:0!

Against TOP, 2:1!

2-0 against SN!

Against JDG, 2:1!

……

After a series of incredible winning streaks, all EDG fans, including the EDG players themselves, have started to get a little cocky.

It's as if there's no one in the entire LPL who can even stand against them!
According to some fans, they felt no pressure at all.

This phenomenon continued until the sixth week.

EDG vs. FPX!

Before the start of this match.

Everyone still believes that there will be no surprises.

Just like in previous matches, EDG should win easily.

After all, although FPX retained last year's runner-up roster, they also brought in top laner Khan, making them a super team in the LPL.

However, compared to EDG's JKL + Meiko bot lane duo, their strength on paper is still considerably weaker.

As expected, JKL consistently dominated Lin Weixiang in the early game for three consecutive matches, highlighting the significant talent gap between the two. Coupled with EDG's unstoppable momentum, they seemed poised to win their fourth championship.

EDG defeated FPX 2-1.

During this process, Jiejie also showed his talent and strength. Although he was crushed by Xiaotian in the second game, fortunately, coach Zhu Kai was still there.

Only after giving the kid a timely dose of inspirational advice did Jiejie avoid getting crushed in the third game.

Although Xiaotian suppressed the jungle, his teammates on the other three lanes were strong enough to help him win the game.

Wow... I really didn't expect that.

In the commentary booth, Ji De was full of emotion: "This year's EDG rookie jungler Jiejie can actually go toe-to-toe with the champion jungler Tian."

"They're truly fearless, like newborn calves!"

Guan Zeyuan, standing nearby, chimed in with a smile:
"It feels like Jiejie is on his way to becoming the crown prince. I wonder if Yao will switch to another position and show us something at MSI."

"Haha, to be honest, I'd really like to see Yao support JKL in the bottom lane, that would be a really exciting sight."

"This is a bit of a reversal of the Heavenly Principles, haha!"

"Regardless, let's turn our attention to the winner. Congratulations again to EDG! 2:1, defeating FPX!!"

On the player bench.

Jiejie breathed a sigh of relief. As a rookie jungler, it would be a lie to say he wasn't under pressure to face a champion jungler in his rookie season.

In these three matches against Xiaotian, Jiejie only managed to stabilize himself in the first game. In the next two games, he was completely outmatched in one game and won the other only thanks to his teammates' help.

Fortunately, they managed to win this regular season game without any major incidents.

In the subsequent Spring Split matches, EDG managed to remain undefeated despite rotating their jungler!
They embarked on a winning streak, defeating teams such as WE, VG, and OMG!

Ultimately, they secured first place in the standings and made it into the playoffs!

During this period, Wang Yao would only come on as a substitute to deliver the decisive blow when Jiejie was mentally broken by the beating.

Wang Yao will definitely change positions this year, which is why Jiejie is being allowed to grow up quickly, experience more setbacks, and develop a strong mentality.

On the contrary, FPX, despite having Khan, actually lost to JDG in the semifinals. The two teams played a full five games, with JDG ultimately winning 3-2 and advancing to the Spring Finals!
Of course, JDG's roster this year is also quite impressive.

The top laner is Duke Zoom, the mid laner is Toothpaste, the jungler is Clid, and the bot lane duo is LokeN and Green Hair.

In particular, in the fifth game, Green Hair picked Bard as a support, which made FPX's roaming around completely unpredictable.

pity.

In the finals, they faced EDG, but were swept 3-0 by EDG!
The final team fight on the high ground.

JKL's Xayah secured a triple kill, bringing the score to 13-3!

Thus, JDG was completely wiped out!
EDG took advantage of the situation and pushed down the base in one fell swoop!
"EDG!! They defeated JD Gaming with a dominant 3-0 score!"

"Congratulations EDG!"

Congratulations to EDG! 3-0, sweeping JDG in the finals!

Inside the studio, the commentators were all shouting.

The moment JDG's crystal shattered, they got excited, just like EDG.

The child shouted:
"A 38-game winning streak!"

"EDG won all the way from the regular season to the playoffs, an invincible team, it's unbelievable!"

Miller's eyes were wide open, his eyebrows were raised, and his face was beaming with a bright smile:

"Ah Shui is MVP again!"

"JKL was phenomenal in all three games of the finals! EDG really struck gold this year, congratulations EDG!"

"Indescribable, congratulations EDG!"

"This year's Spring Finals MVP is a foregone conclusion."

As if he had thought of something, Guan Daxiao couldn't help but smile and said, "It feels like EDG has become an esports dream factory. Any talented newcomer or veteran can come here to realize their dreams."

"Haha, that makes sense. JKL's skill level is not bad, but it's a pity that with Yao Ge around, he just couldn't get any real honors. Now he has finally achieved his wish and won his first championship!"

The colonel couldn't control himself; he kept stomping his feet on the floor, becoming agitated as he talked about these things.

He shouted:
"In short, congratulations to EDG, this dazzling super team. I hope they can show the style of our LPL at this year's MSI."

"Yes, congratulations to EDG!"

"That's incredible!"

Wang Duoduo added with a smile, "That's the charm of the Galactic Battleship."

"It's a pity that Yao started to slack off again this spring season. He only played one game in the opening match, and the rest of the time Jiejie played."

"Jiejie is quite a good young man, especially his mastery of the prince's skills!"

"Yes, I actually think highly of Jiejie, and I hope he does well at EDG."

"In short, this stronger EDG team, with an undefeated momentum, is heading for MSI!"

"I can't wait to see how they clash against teams from major regions around the world."

"..."

Backstage at JDG, Homme and Cui Hu slumped into their seats, looking dejected.

They could hear the people from the EDG backstage area cheering and celebrating, and then they ran quickly to the front of the stage.

They could also hear the huge cheers and shouts from the Oriental Sports Center, which even drowned out the commentators' broadcasts in the studio.

Manager Shao sat by the water dispenser, listening to the gurgling sound of the water, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although their management team wasn't on stage, backstage they were sometimes even more anxious than the players, watching with anticipation and hope until that hope gradually faded. It was a grueling process, and the match against EDG was even more grueling!
Given the hype surrounding this Spring Finals, tens of millions of players across the league are likely watching.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, JD Gaming was utterly crushed by EDG!
Manager Shao remembers clearly that after JKL's tower dive and kill, the JDG team's voice chat suddenly went silent.

LokeN, Clid, and others have all become blood pressure monsters.

Losing can actually be a relief.

Manager Shao wiped the sweat from his forehead as he pondered.

If they continue playing today, will the JDG players be driven to complete despair by EDG?

He glanced at the screen backstage, where the director had just switched from the jubilant EDG players' seats to the JDG side.

Tsk tsk.

Manager Shao felt a pang of sympathy.

Not only Manager Shao, but the audience also noticed the appearance of the JDG players.

After all, this is a stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere on EDG's side.

……

"3-0 is both easy to accept and hard to accept."

Cui Hu was conflicted. He became agitated and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't we fight well enough? Weren't we prepared enough?!"

"This season, there aren't many teams that are more aggressive than JDG!"

Team leader Momo stepped forward to comfort him: "Old Cui, this is not our fault, nor is it the team members' fault."

"This is all EDG's fault."

"It's infuriating! They haven't even used Kshine yet, and they've already crushed us in the mid and bot lanes. The only advantage we have is in the top lane!"

Assistant coach Big Bear, hearing what he said, reluctantly chimed in:
"We are not the only ones with this feeling."

"If this gets on Kshine, we'll get completely destroyed."

"..."

JDG's backstage team was immediately filled with complaints.

Coach Homme sighed inwardly as he looked at the face that was being focused on by the camera.

Even off the court, as a member of the league and on the opposing side, Homme could still feel immense pressure.

The 2020 season is still EDG's era.

After finishing this round of the finals, Homme had already formed opinions in his mind that he originally did not want to believe or even scoffed at.

"The age of God will not see an ender, and the turning point of the League may only come when God retires on his own."

"..."

For Wang Yao, winning the spring championship was no longer important; he was content with just coasting through and getting the championship by default.

Watching Jiejie and JKL celebrate, Wang Yao only wore a faint smile.

Especially Yu Wenbo, who took the initiative to get up and come to Wang Yao's side, giving him a hug during the celebration.

He has longed for this championship for far too long!
If he hadn't decisively spent six million to escape and avoid being trapped by RNG's contract, he would never have won the Spring Championship!

Upon hearing Wang Yao's "Congratulations," JKL was overwhelmed with emotion.

I've finally made it to the World Championship!
"Brother Yao, thank you!"

Wang Yao smiled and declined gently:
"You're welcome. You should thank everyone at EDG."

"We all played together in the competition, and we all sweated just as much in the training room."

"Brother Yao, what's the MSI report? Are you still playing?"

Saint Gun smiled.

Wang Yao smiled mysteriously, and instead of answering Saint Gun directly, he turned to ask Clearlove:
"Mingkai, how's your research going this time?"

"I've done some research and I'm preparing to participate in MSI."

The factory manager was beaming, and then, like JKL, he looked at Wang Yao.

This was almost an instinctive action for the entire EDG team.

Everyone's just waiting to see what Wang Yao will do at MSI this year!

"Enough with the chit-chat, MSI, good luck!"

"come on!"

"..."

Amidst the roaring cheers at the Oriental Sports Center, Aunt Yu Shuang, holding the microphone, announced loudly:

"The 2020 LPL Spring Finals champion is..."

"EDG!"

A pillar of flame shot up, and amidst the cheers of the fans, Wang Yao and the others raised the Spring Finals Championship trophy together!
Next, Bobby, the manager of Tencent Esports, walked over with a smile.

He announced the Spring Finals MVP.

Manager Bobby picked up the sealed envelope, seemingly enjoying the process of uncovering the secret.

But at the scene, a unified shout had already rang out.

"JackeyLove"

"JackeyLove"

……

"2020 LPL Spring Finals MVP...JKL!!"

Congratulations JackeyLove!

Manager Bobby handed the MVP trophy to JKL, gave him a polite hug, and then faced the camera again.

JKL could see the huge crowds at the scene, with banners waving and countless light sticks bearing his ID flashing along with glow sticks.

This was his night of revelry with EDG fans.

JKL raised the trophy high, and together with the EDG members beside him, amidst the fluttering confetti, they used their best performance to repay the fans who had always supported them.

Of course, he also knew that Wang Yao had voluntarily given him this championship honor, and that he could have taken it at any time if Wang Yao wanted to compete for it.

Another team jersey was handed over by an LPL official staff member.

The Mid-Season Invitational logo is printed in the most prominent position.

Keen observers have noticed that this year's MSI team uniforms are still black, adorned with dragon patterns.

This is very similar to the black gold dragon from the 2016 MSI.

The scene from that time is still vividly remembered by veteran players.

The defense of Shanghai's fortress failed, and SKT took the championship away from Shanghai.

This year's MSI finals are still in Shanghai, and SKT has come to China again, which is like a return to familiar territory.

The LPL official's decision to release team uniforms that closely resemble those from the 2016 season at this time speaks volumes.

Just like now, Wang Duoduo's resounding words in the studio:

"With a god in charge, what regret can't be made up for?"

"The past remains, but the LPL has long since emerged from the long night!"

"..."

……

At the Oriental Sports Center venue, EDG received their MSI team uniforms amidst great anticipation.

With the Mid-Season Invitational returning to China, LPL viewers have great confidence in EDG. Many believe that the regrets of 2016 will be made up for this season after a four-year hiatus.

After the post-match ceremony, the entire EDG team, including the coaching staff, was invited to the interview room.

The group sat in a row with microphones on the table and the trophy from the Spring Finals placed next to them, which caused a flurry of flashes in the interview room as the media snapped photos with various lenses.

In addition to media professionals from the esports industry, there were also some television reporters present today.

Even some reporters from other regions who came to China early because of MSI have also come here to get first-hand information.

Wang Yao sat in the middle of the interview area. Among the media people below, he also saw a small group from Shanghai TV, who were standing close to the people from Tencent Esports and Weibo.

Among them was a very familiar, bright figure.

Saint Gun Bro was aware of Wang Yao's private life, and he had taken notice of it.

Before the interview even started, Flandre, who was sitting next to Wang Yao, secretly nudged his side with his hand, signaling Wang Yao to look at the second row.

Wang Yao had already noticed it. As soon as he came in and sat down, he saw Xi Ran winking at him playfully.

However, in this current context, any slight gesture will immediately generate a wave of esports news about couples showing off their affection.

Manager Poppy walked in to warm up the atmosphere, representatives from the LPL were present, sponsor advertisements were prominently displayed, and the interview officially began.

The first question came from Xiao Li, a reporter from Tencent Esports, regarding whether MSI would be held.

"Yao, will you appear at MSI this year like last year, as a player in another position? Many people are looking forward to seeing which position you will switch to."

This reporter, Xiao Li, is also someone in the league circle. He asked this question both for work and because he was also extremely curious.

Like Xiao Li, everyone waited for Wang Yao's answer.

Will he transfer to the top lane as everyone guessed, or will he team up with JKL as a support?

Facing numerous cameras and gazes, Wang Yao remained calm and responded with a smile:
"Changing positions still requires careful consideration. I'm currently a substitute in the team, but as for which lane I'll play, it depends on the individual players' performance."

Wang Yao's words were essentially meaningless, but Xiao Li pressed on with the question, asking which EDG player was in good form and needed him to play.

However, Wang Yao, who was already used to interviews, was not about to fall for such an obvious trick and immediately said:

"Since we were able to win the Spring Split championship, it means that our players are in very good form."

"..."
