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

In the blink of an eye, 24 minutes had passed.

A fire dragon descended upon the world.

At this moment, GEN's voice channel remained silent. The group of people gathered in the lower river as if they were just passersby, relying on instinct and game understanding.

GEN is currently at a huge disadvantage, but this is EDG's fourth dragon, forcing them to bite the bullet and accept this team fight.

Meanwhile, EDG's voice chat channel was much more lively.

Even though they were both sick, Jie Jie and Meiko were trying their best to communicate, with coughs rising and falling between them.

Flandre was in poor condition, his throat was so sore that he had difficulty speaking, but he still responded to every word and listened to every command from his teammates.

"Don't give them a chance to fight back with Smite. If you can engage on Ryze, engage immediately. We can definitely win the team fight. Just let me clean up."

"OK OK!"

EDG pretended to fight the dragon first, and then a team fight broke out as soon as GEN's main force arrived at the front!
JieJie used his Q skill to poke the dragon twice, then flashed and used his E skill to poke it, launching Ryze into the air!
As long as you capitalize on Ryze's lack of Flash, there's absolutely no chance of losing the team fight!
Following behind Zhao Xin were Fox and Gragas.

Mingjing followed up with a steady E to charm, while Flandre threw out his ultimate [Explosive Barrel], deliberately avoiding Ryze, but blowing the rest of GEN to pieces!

Viper seized the opportunity, unleashing a flurry of feathers and securing the kill with a backflip!

"Chaowei got instantly killed!" Umbrella King shouted excitedly, "EDG is going to win!"

The GEN players haven't given up and are still trying their best.

However, their disadvantages were too great, and they even lost a key carry, making their chances of winning almost zero.

The group fought with all their might, without even replacing a single person.

Mingjing's fox moved around the field continuously, as graceful as a dragon, and easily finished off the team fight.

"ACE!"

The sound of a team wipe echoed throughout the arena. EDG seized the opportunity to take the Fire Dragon Soul, and then used the Fire Dragon Soul's damage boost to quickly kill the Baron!

With two dragons in hand, plus a 10,000 gold advantage, even if you send five players with real money to fight, you can easily crush them.

There was no suspense after that; EDG returned to base to rest and then began their final push.

Mingjing returned to town and upgraded to his third magic penetration item, taking his equipment to the next level.

In his subsequent advance, he accurately predicted that Ruler's Varus had no Flash or Cleanse, and even his Shield Bow was on cooldown. He directly entered the fray first, accurately hitting with an E-Flash combo, and then unleashing a full QWR combo!
Ruler didn't even have time to land a single basic attack before his health bar was instantly emptied!
"Ruler Emperor got instantly defeated again!" Remember's voice was quite loud!

Inside Atlanta State Agricultural Arena, the cheers of over ten thousand North American spectators surged and roared throughout the arena, countless people ready to witness EDG's victory!
In EDG's voice chat, shouts of "Awesome!" were heard everywhere. Several people quickly followed up and took down the rest of GEN.

This time, they didn't manage a complete wipeout, but they still managed to cripple the enemy.

The team ignored Ryze, who was hiding in the corner of the fountain, and pushed forward to easily end the game!

The moment the game ended, the North American commentators immediately began to shout:
"In this match between the LPL and the LCK's number one seed, the LPL once again emerged victorious!"

"Let's congratulate EDG! They swept GEN.G 3-0, becoming the first team to advance to the finals!"

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the North American commentators, the cheers from the audience grew even louder.

North American audiences have a bit of a dislike for GEN.

The main reason is that the North American team C9 made it to the playoffs for two consecutive years, and then was happily swept 3-0 by GEN for two consecutive years.

Every time North American viewers haven't had enough, the home team sends out a package, which is incredibly frustrating.

Fortunately, every time GEN beats C9, they get eliminated by EDG!

This isn't an LPL team at all; isn't this just EDG with all their own people?

Furthermore, EDG did more than just avenge North America.

Several of JDG's guys were also sent away by GEN.

Several chubby guys couldn't help but smile when they saw that GEN had also been eliminated.

Mingjing is a true friend.

At this moment, the live stream chat was already flooded with comments.

[Is this the LCK's super team? It looks so rubbish!]

[With Dolan on the team, I don't know where Galaxy is. A team with him has no chance of winning the championship, I'm saying that here!]

Is it really Doran's fault today? Or is it purely a mid-lane disparity?

[Chaowei's son is truly hilarious. He got completely dominated in all three games, and then he blamed the top laner. Weren't you guys the ones who tried to bluff the two-time champion Fei Shen before the tournament?]

[Chaowei is the true god of domestic competition, breaking LCK records left and right, but he turns into a maggot in the World Championship, he's got a mental block.]

There's nothing I can do; it's just that I run into the Flying God every year.

【really】

The live stream was currently showing the EDG players' bench, where the two carries had stood up, exchanged a glance, and then walked towards the GEN players' bench.

The camera then moved in that direction.

On GEN's side, the expressions of the players were extremely grim.

Just as the camera switched over, Ruler was seen clenching his teeth so tightly that his cheeks bulged slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of hostility as he looked at the mid laner next to him.

Although Emperor Chi was defeated by Ming Jing in the last two rounds, he did not think it was his own fault.

The enemy mid laner can dominate the lane whenever they want and roam whenever they want, while our own mid laner is always like a dead man, just hanging in the mid lane farming and developing, and even after developing, they still can't carry.

In the final team fight, he even gave up his Flash, becoming the weak point in the team fight!

Absolute mid-lane disparity!
Just as he was thinking this, EDG's two carries walked up to him.

Emperor Chi looked up and saw the tall and imposing Ming Jing. He immediately extended his right hand and gently bumped fists with Ming Jing.

In fact, according to Korean etiquette, Emperor Chik had no need to be so respectful.

After all, he is a senior player with a championship title, so there's no need to be too respectful.

But Mingjing was really terrifying in today's three games. He single-handedly killed Ruler three or four times.

This made it impossible for Emperor Chi to get a hard grip on Ming Jing.

Ming Jing didn't say anything at this moment, but simply nodded slightly, and then walked to the next person.

Chaowei had just stood up, and his expression was naturally not good either.

Chaowei was a little dissatisfied with his loss, believing that he didn't actually have any major problems with his performance today.

Isn't the biggest problem in the bot lane today? They have no lane priority every game. The enemy mid laner just walks down to the bot lane and immediately gets a kill. They turn around and go back to the mid lane with two stacks of Killing Ring. How are they supposed to lane?

If Phi releases the Killing Ring, the first two levels will definitely be Ruler!

Damn it, how can they possibly win?

Of course, Chaowei dared not glance at Emperor Chi, and could only lower his head to hide his anger.

"Well done." Ming Jing's voice reached his ears, making Chao Wei shudder and involuntarily raise his head.

Seeing the handsome young man in front of him, Chovy was too embarrassed to say much, so he just nodded and lightly bumped fists with Mingjing.

Ming Jing didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and continued walking forward. He exchanged fist bumps with Peanut and Doran, and then stood in the center of the stage with Viper, bowing deeply to the more than 10,000 audience members below.

The arena erupted in cheers once again, with countless spectators displaying an uncanny unanimity, even chanting EDG's team name in unison!
"EDG!"

"EDG!"

"EDG!" The cheers were deafening, echoing wave after wave onto the stage.

Hearing the cheers, Ming Jing couldn't help but smile. He waved gently to the audience below the stage, then turned around to pack up his equipment and leave.

Halfway there, hosts from the China and US competition zones appeared and each led one of the two Cs away.

Normally, today's interviews should include not only the home North American and LPL teams, but also the Korean teams from the opposing teams.

But today EDG only sent two people, which meant that there was no one to interview the lower-priority Korean streamers, so they could only go to GEN players for interviews.

It's incredibly cruel. After being swept 0-3, they still had to give an interview to their own region and be tortured again.

But that has nothing to do with Ming Jing; the company that invited him to interview was their own Chinese streaming platform.

Following the resounding victory, host Xia An smiled and immediately praised EDG's outstanding performance.

Ming Jing smiled and nodded, then followed them all the way to the interview room, where he saw the MVP of the game.

There can only be one MVP in this game, it has to be him.

After all, Ahri had almost reached the pinnacle in this game, dominating the lane, roaming effectively, cleaning up team fights, and even initiating a team fight by solo killing the AD carry in the final team fight.

In terms of data, the near-divine fox that survived a single attack achieved a 32% damage output percentage, which is hard to imagine a fox achieving.

Meanwhile, beneath the game data, there is another statistic that is quite eye-catching.

MVP count: 7
EDG has won 12 games so far, and Mingjing has won 7 of them, ranking first in the entire S-series.

Of course, this data may be exaggerated compared to others, but compared to Ming Jing's own performance, it is still a bit lacking.

The record for the most MVP awards in the S-series was set by the young Mingjing in S10.

JDG won a total of 14 games that year. Because the final decisive game was awarded directly without a winner, there were a total of 13 individual game MVPs.

Mingjing won 10 of them!
The proportion is alarmingly high!

EDG's teammates are too strong now, which has caused Mingjing to lose the terrifying individual heroism he had in S10.

Ming Jing nodded, then put on his headphones and started the interview in Chinese.

"Let's start with a standard question. This is Phi's third consecutive time reaching the finals. How are you feeling?"

Ming Jing was somewhat surprised by the question, but she quickly organized her thoughts and answered fluently: "As you know, this is the third time, so I don't have any special feelings. I just feel that I need to prepare properly."

Hearing this, Xia An nodded: "Although Phi has not been in the industry for long, he has already experienced many battles. I believe that his experience of reaching the finals three times will definitely help his performance in the finals."

The next question is...

"Before the match, everyone thought it would be a tough battle, but today's match went unexpectedly smoothly. What caused this result?"

"Actually, there's no real reason," Ming Jing said. "I never thought this would be a tough battle. We, EDG, are the strongest team. Although there were some unexpected circumstances, it won't change the outcome of the match."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live chat was immediately flooded with crazy comments!

BYD, the opponent is the number one seed from LCK, this is too disrespectful!

Hearing this, Xia An smiled even more and continued to ask, "EDG's opponent in the finals will be either T1 or RNG. Phi, what are your expectations for the finals?"

The answer to this question is actually quite simple: it's just a matter of having Mingjing boost the morale of his team and increase the audience's confidence.

But after a few seconds of hesitation, Ming Jing decided to tell the truth.

"Emotionally speaking, I certainly hope that RNG can advance and turn the S-series into our LPL's autumn season. I think that would be a very interesting scene."

After finishing his sentence, Ming Jing changed the subject and continued, "However, T1 is also a very strong team. In my opinion, they are even much stronger than GEN.G. I hope RNG can be well prepared. This time is different from MSI."

"But I believe that no matter who makes it to the finals, the ultimate winner will be EDG."

After making his final, harsh remarks, the interview session came to an end. Mingjing waved goodbye to the LPL staff and then joined Viper to leave together.

The return journey was a bit quiet. Mingjing took out his phone and checked his messages first.

After the game ended, the three infected teammates finally couldn't hold on any longer and unanimously chose to rest.

Ming Jing didn't bother them. He first replied to messages from his parents and Song Xuan about various good games before opening the forum.

Following an epic victory, the popularity of the anti-Japanese online forum undoubtedly reached its peak.

In just a short while, the rating post has already been filled with thousands of comments!

Mingjing clicked on the link, sorted by popularity, and scrolled down to see her official makeup photos.

[A god among gods! Undoubtedly the MVP of the series! Not only does he have to be a player, but he also has to be a coach and be in charge of the draft picks. Fei Shen must be exhausted.]

[EDG really needs FeiShen. He has to play mid lane, AD carry, and coach all at the same time, which is the most amazing thing.]

[To say something that science enthusiasts might not like to hear, Fei Shen is already a top student in history.]

[Is there even a question? When they completed the Golden Road last year, Shi Yizhong had already secured their place; it's just that science enthusiasts like to talk about the championship.]

These people will never understand that a championship isn't about quantity, but about achievement!

[It doesn't matter. We'll know when Dafei makes it to the finals and clashes with Feishen. If Feishen really gets his third title by stepping on Dafei's head, then there's no doubt who the greatest of all time is.]

[Still aiming for the finals? Dafei's immediate task is to beat RNG!]

[Do you really think RNG is as strong as they were at MSI? Can you compare Suffocator to Bin? They were sweating buckets against Top Esports in the quarterfinals, I don't know how they can beat T1.]

[Didn't you see Fei Shen's interview? Fei Shen himself said T1 is very strong. With Fei Shen's endorsement, how can you not believe it?]

Don't worry, you'll see in the match. Faker is a little afraid of Xiaohu.

Are you really scared?

What was supposed to be a normal scoring floor has inexplicably taken a turn for the worse, extending into tomorrow's other semi-final match.

Mingjing exited the rating thread and refreshed it twice; the entire forum was filled with similar related content.

Logically speaking, in this kind of international competition, there should be many people who unconditionally support LPL teams.

However, Faker had too many supporters, and Mingjing personally confirmed T1's strength, resulting in a significant amount of buzz surrounding T1.

Many people even criticized Ming Jing's interview, believing that he shouldn't have boosted his opponent's morale at this time.

Ming Jing looked at the comments before him, but his heart remained unmoved.

Tomorrow's match will give everyone an answer.

Before we knew it, it was October 31st.

The semifinals of the lower bracket have begun.

RNG and T1 are two rival teams that have been battling it out since S6. T1 has eliminated RNG twice in the S-series, or three times if you include their double kill in the S9 group stage.

RNG also avenged their loss this year, snatching the MSI championship trophy from T1.

This match is destined to attract a lot of attention.

However, the result of the competition surprised countless viewers.

Throughout the BO5 series, T1 demonstrated a strong level of skill and tactics, excelling in both individual ability and coordinated strategy.

RNG is definitely not a weak team, but they seemed powerless against this T1 team.

One game, two games
RNG went through a period of confusion and ended up standing on the edge of a cliff.

In the final decisive game, they offered little resistance.

The result was as expected: T1 swept RNG 3-0, advancing to the finals as well! (End of Chapter)
