LPL History

Chapter 275 Win the championship!

"My God! Zhou Li! The mantis skimmed the water like a dragonfly and secured a pentakill! Wow, this is absolutely outrageous!!"

"In that case, Samsung White has no chance to resist! It feels like WE.A could end the game in one fell swoop at this point!!"

"WE.A has already pushed down the high ground! And the inhibitor turrets! Sima Laozei's Lucian is attacking very fast! Now that the inhibitor turrets are down, we can attack the base! Pawn, the fastest to respawn at 3-star White, still needs five seconds! That's more than enough time!!"

"Congratulations to WE.A for winning the 2014 League of Legends World Championship! We've waited so long for this day! Congratulations WE.A!!"

In the live stream room, the screen was flooded with comments.

Congratulations WE!!

[Brother Zhou is awesome!]

[Waaaaah, it's been so tough! We've finally got our first LPL championship!]

We are the champions!!

"Six months ago, who could have imagined that this group of spirited young people would lift this trophy on the stage of the global finals? And now they have done it. We have waited too long for this moment..."

As the commentator choked up with emotion, wiping away tears, he was carrying his prepared script and was about to get emotional when Miller, quite tactlessly, interrupted him.

"Hey! Wait a minute!!"

The doll paused for a moment, about to express her dissatisfaction, when Miller continued:
"Why have all five members of WE.A returned to base?!"

"what?!"

In order not to affect her memorization of the script, Wawa didn't watch the live broadcast at all.

Looking at the live stream now, all five members of WE.A have their recall beams lit up.

"Huh?! What's going on?"

The doll stared wide-eyed in shock.

"Hey, they just pushed it all down in one go! What's with the recall?"

In the live stream, the messages that were just scrolling through the chat, "Congratulations WE, we are the champions," have now turned into a screen full of question marks.

Still caught up in his excitement, Miller chuckled and joked:
"Um, I think he probably wanted to pull off a big surprise. After all, we all know Zhou Ge's personality. He probably saw he had plenty of time, so he went back to town to cause a ruckus... He's back!!"

Miller's tone suddenly changed, even carrying a hint of fear.

"Sima the old scoundrel went back! Was it a mistake?! Hey! Hey!! Why did Xiaoming and Xiye go back too?! What's going on?!"

Even Bella, who had always thought she knew Zhou Li and WE.A extremely well, was confused at this moment, and blurted out in confusion:

"I know, they definitely want Zhou Li to be the one to destroy Samsung White's base in the end. After all, WE.A's victory was largely due to Zhou Li's contribution... Zhou Li went back too!!!"

The commentary booth was completely silent.

This eerie silence lasted for nearly ten seconds.

The baby's wailing could only be heard then.

"Wow! WE.A! What are you guys doing?! You could win the championship!!"

In fact, the game had only been going on for twenty-nine minutes at this point.

But WE.A did have plenty of time to destroy Samsung White's base.

As a result, all five of them chose to return to the city!
In this match, both Samsung White and WE.A once again selected two lineups that were very strong in the early game.

Samsung White's lineup consists of Jayce (top), Jarvan IV (jungle), Ahri (mid), Twitch (ADC), and Thresh (support).

WE.A's lineup consists of Irelia in the top lane, Kha'Zix in the jungle, Lulu in the mid lane, Lucian as the ADC, and Blitzcrank as the support.

In this game, Mata did indeed play the support role for Imp in the bottom lane.

Imp wasn't exaggerating; their bot lane did indeed gain some advantages.

However, once Mata stopped roaming, Dandy alone couldn't withstand Zhou Li's invasion.

Without its key tactics, Samsung White was no match for WE.A. Like other teams that were also crushed by WE.A, they were completely overwhelmed in the early game by Zhou Li's jungler, who ganked all three lanes and crushed them.

Twenty minutes later, Samsung White lost all of their outer towers.

In 25 minutes, Samsung White broke through all three lanes.

At 29 minutes, Zhou Li's Mantis secured a pentakill on the high ground of Samsung White, and it seemed like they were about to push the game away. However, WE.A did something that surprised the world's audience.

All five of them actually returned to the city!

They had already half-stuffed the World Championship trophy in their pockets, but then they shook their pockets, threw the trophy on the ground, and said, "I'll play with it a little longer!"
A South Korean live stream.

Jeon Yong-jun and Kim Jae-young have both passed their most desperate moments. They've even finished their pizzas and are now reviewing and reflecting on the World Championship and looking ahead to the future of Korean esports.

Looking back, it turns out...

Hey!
Guess what!

The Samsung White base, representing the last hope of the League of Legends in South Korea, is still standing there!
"Oh my god! What's going on? Why have they all gone back to the city?"

After a brief moment of surprise, an overwhelming rage instantly engulfed the two of them.

WE.A's actions are crystal clear.

That means I haven't tormented you enough yet. Even if the trophy is handed to me, I'll have the official team keep it for us until we've had our fill of tormenting you!

"Wow! What are they doing? Is this on purpose? If it is, isn't that going a bit too far!"

"Damn it..." Kim Jae-young couldn't help but swear, "Why are these Chinese people doing this? Don't they have any competitive spirit at all? This is blatant insult!"

In the Korean live stream, the chat was still filled with comments like, "Why didn't you ban Lee Sin?"

Yes, even when the final match point was about to end, they were still confused.

Why didn't they ban Lee Sin?!
Compared to their concern about winning or losing the game, what the Koreans are more concerned about now is whether Samsung White, from the coach to the players, is throwing the game!
But they never expected that Zhou Li would pull a big surprise on them at the very end!
I could have ended the game in one fell swoop, but I just wouldn't push!
What's the difference between this and just taking a dump on the heads of the Koreans?
The Koreans thought they were angry enough.

But Zhou Li always manages to do things that make them even angrier.

When it comes to angering the Koreans, Zhou Li has absolutely no bottom line!
Some die-hard Koreans have even petitioned the Blue House online, requesting that missiles from the US military base be launched immediately to bomb the Sangam Stadium and kill WE.A and Samsung White together.

Some netizens have even started a boycott of League of Legends.

Center of the stage.

Mata had already taken off her headphones.

After finishing the entire match, he felt a little better.

Because he was always supporting imp and didn't roam around, he gave imp more opportunities to pressure him.

According to the law of conservation of energy, if the pressure on mata decreases, the pressure on imp will naturally increase.

Mata breathed a sigh of relief as the ordeal finally ended, only to find that the opposing team had stopped pushing! Even more absurdly, when he turned around, he found that Dandy, who had been dominated by counter-jungling all game, had already tilted to the point of standing up.

Seeing that the opponent hadn't pushed the crystal, he sat back down with a pained expression.

An overwhelming sense of humiliation swept over the hearts of everyone at Samsung White.

"Ashiba!!!"

Finally, Mata couldn't control his emotions and slammed his fist on the keyboard, immediately drawing a warning from the referee.

"What the hell is that bastard doing?! Why aren't they pushing the base, damn it?!"

The economic gap between the two sides was a full 15,000, and Samsung White had no lineup advantage. No matter how angry Mata was, he couldn't say anything like "Let's work together to turn the game around and wash away the shame" because it was impossible. So he could only vent his anger verbally.

"Let's just order it!" Mata surrendered decisively.

"Are you crazy?" Pawn, who hadn't said much until now, widened her eyes. "This is the finals! You're going to surrender? Those crazy fans could keep us from seeing the sun tomorrow!"

"Damn it! What should we do then? Let's stop defending the lane and let the super minions push back the base!"

"What's the difference between that and surrendering?!"

While the Samsung White team was still arguing fiercely, Xi Ye couldn't help but speak up on the WE.A side:

"Brother Zhou, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhou Li spoke casually:

"What's wrong?"

"If you can push but don't, you'll be spawn camping later, and you'll definitely get yelled at."

Zhou Li glanced at Xi Ye and said with a smile:

"Who insulted you?"

“The Koreans,” Xi Ye replied without hesitation, “I reckon they’re furious right now.”

“Oh,” Zhou Li nodded, then asked in return, “What does it have to do with us that the Koreans are insulting us? Did you eat their kimchi?”

Zhou Li's words made Xi Ye pause, and then she heard Zhou Li continue:
"In competitions, sportsmanship is certainly important, but first and foremost, the Koreans need to have sportsmanship. I ask you, do they even have sportsmanship? Have you forgotten how they disgusted us? They themselves don't have sportsmanship, so why should they expect us to?"

Sima, the old scoundrel, rarely showed a smile as he spoke:
"Xi Ye is too cowardly. He's afraid we'll be punished."

"Punishment?" Flandre joked. "What kind of punishment would he give us? Could he confiscate our championship trophy? Even if Riot Games had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare do that."

Whether it's fists or arson, there's always a saying in this society: "Treat people differently based on their status."

If WE.A's team name were changed to FPX, they might actually have been stripped of their championship.

But he followed the Zhou rituals.

You should know that right now, if you randomly pick out ten people in the entire LPL, eleven of them will be fans of Zhou Li.

Because of him alone, the number of viewers from China at this year's World Championship Finals increased by nearly three times compared to previous years! The amount of discussion also increased by almost ten times!
This terrifying amount of traffic is incomparable to all other professional players combined.

Not only in China, Zhou Li's unparalleled gaming skills, handsome appearance, and arrogant personality have also garnered him countless fans on the international internet!

Take this final as an example. In this great battle between China and South Korea, putting aside the audiences from both sides, 90% of the audience chose to support WE.A!

Given Zhou Li's current reputation and stature, as long as he doesn't make any fundamental mistakes, even if Quan Dou and Teng Xun offend him, they'll have to treat him like royalty.

As for the pressure from public opinion.

If Zhou Li cared about public opinion, would the Koreans be in such a hurry now?
Zhou Li signaled towards the Sanxingbai spring.

"Brothers, get ready to fountain-camp! Nobody's allowed to attack the base until we've killed them three times in the fountain!"

After hearing Zhou Li's words, Xiao Ming hesitated for a long time before finally speaking:

"Brother Zhou, if we push down their inhibitor tower and kill them all, there will be no one to clear the wave."

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he had made such a mistake despite his careful planning!

"You're right, Xiaoming. It seems I don't know you well enough. You're a cunning little devil."

Pain and torment spread among the Samsung White team members.

Time ticked by, and the mid-lane crystal was about to respawn, but WE.A remained completely silent.

Although the super minions in the mid lane pushed over and gave them some room to develop, the problem is that there were only one lane of super minions, which could not make up for the loss of resources in the entire jungle.

Five minutes later, when the Samsung White high ground crystal respawned, WE.A appeared on the Samsung White high ground right on time!

"Xiao Ming flashes in to initiate the team fight! He hooks Mata! It's Mata again! Facing WE.A's damage output, Mata can't stand up at all and gets melted instantly!"

"WE.A is still chasing! Kha'Zix's W skill locks down Pawn! Now, Samsung White is completely unable to fight back against WE.A's offensive!"

"Pawn used Flash, but still fell! Wow, Kha'Zix is ​​about to reap the rewards! He's at it again! Zhou Li! He's been flying through the air without ever falling down!!"

"Pentakill! Another pentakill! Zhou Li has once again secured a pentakill in the final match of this World Championship finals! Samsung White has been wiped out!"

"In that case, WE.A can push down Samsung White's base in one fell swoop... Hiss!"

After Miller habitually uttered that phrase, he corrected himself:
"Should we push it or not?"

The baby laughed and teased:
"Given the current situation, there's even less reason to push. Now I understand why Xiaoming picked Blitzcrank. At first, I just thought Blitzcrank might be a better counter to Thresh, but now it seems WE.A had this planned out from the very beginning!"

Miller scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"Are we still going to fountain-camp? Maybe we should stop, it feels a bit too harsh!"

At this moment, Bella spoke up:

"I think it's alright. After all, when they accused us Chinese audiences of buying fake tickets and filled the entire Seoul Gymnasium with Korean audiences, they didn't think they went too far."

The stands at Shangyan Gymnasium were now completely empty.

Samsung's white support flags were scattered on the ground, covered with the footprints of angry South Korean spectators who had left their seats.

WE.A started a claw machine right in front of the Samsung White fountain.

This day was undoubtedly the darkest day for South Korean esports.

In their capital, Seoul, the most humiliating incident in esports history was thus born.

When Mata was once again pulled out of the fountain by the robot, he finally lost his temper and, while spewing out various genitalia, surrendered again.

This time, five green lights appeared in one second.

Samsung White also became the first team in the history of the World Championship to choose to surrender during the finals!
In the commentary booth, Miller was finally able to shout out the words he had been preparing for so long!
"we are the champion!!"
