LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 145 "I've seen through you, both you and your underwear!"

"... "

"Is it too late for me to run now?"

Xi Ran listened to the voice on the other end of the phone with a bitter smile on her face.

Although she still likes the LGD team, as a host, there is no need for her to get involved in the fan war.
"Don't worry, with me here, you'll always have a smooth ride."

Di Wu's eyes, now free of needle marks, revealed a resolute gaze.

The upcoming Summer Split will see the biggest version change, with Lillia's debut in the tournament update having a significant impact on the competition.

However, very few people can figure out how to play the Little Deer effectively, making it one of the game's pitfalls.

The version is moving further towards a jungle carry meta, but the nerfs to LGD are not that significant. They already have a jungle carry system centered around Peanut.

The team most affected is still TES. Karsa almost never plays Graves and Enchantress. It might not be so obvious yet, and TES is still ranked second in the regular season, but…

When the World Championship arrives, the issue of champion pool will be magnified infinitely. After all, there are no weak teams in the World Championship. Every team is putting in their best effort after a whole year of hard work and wants to make a breakthrough.

LGD then went on a winning streak in the Summer Split, with all wins being clean 2-0 victories. Although Diwu didn't exert himself too much, Peanut played very comfortably in this version.

LGD's final record was 15-0. In the final stages of the Summer Split, they will face their last opponent, who is also their old rival.

JDG!

In this summer split's jungle-centric meta, not only is Peanut playing comfortably, but Kanavi has also become JDG's absolute core player.

No matter what hero he plays, he always plays the jungle carry style. He doesn't do much in the early game, prioritizing his own development.

Before the two sides faced off, JDG, a club that originally had only a few fans, suddenly gained a huge number of fans overnight for some unknown reason.

"Come on, Dongzi! Take down LGD! Don't let them go on a winning streak!"

"We have to at least get a small win against them, and not let that bastard Nick show off."

"You absolutely have to do it, JDG!"

"You are not a low-class horse, you are the last hope of our Chicken Resurrection Alliance!"

"To be honest, could the 'Chicken Riders League' be enough to form an LPL team?"

"Top laner TheShy, jungler Kanavi, mid laner Knight, bot laner, support LVmao! This lineup... I can't even imagine it!"

"This isn't just a resurrectionist league! This is half of the LPL!"

"LGD! It's okay, we fans will stand firmly against you. After all, you don't want your fans to suffer and be criticized, right?"

JDG themselves were unaware of the immense expectations placed upon them; all they wanted was to beat LGD once! Starting from the last match of the Spring Split this year, they hadn't won a single game against LGD.

This was another crucial game, with TES winning 13-3 and finishing the Summer Split with a score of 17.

LGD is currently 15-0, with no chance of catching up, while JDG is currently 13-2 with 19 points.

Putting everything else aside, Kanavi is absolutely a master at stomping noobs, just like smurfing in ranked games. Most junglers would lose their composure after a few minutes against someone like Kanavi. They often win 2-0, and their game score is two points higher than TES's.

They are currently ranked second, so the pressure of this match against LGD is not too great. After all, as long as they don't get swept 2-0, they can still secure second place in the regular season by the point differential, playing one less round than TES.

However, if they lose 2-0, then with both teams having a score of 13-3 and a total score of 17, TES will take second place based on their head-to-head record against JDG.

It's the same old story. It happened in the Spring Split and it happened in the Summer Split. JDG only needs to win one game to support the "Resurrected Champions League" and to save themselves from playing one round of the playoffs.

They need to win at least one game against LGD.

The night before the match, Di Wu's live stream was unusually popular, perhaps because the summer season was coming to an end or because he was going to face the formidable JDG the next day.

His popularity once reached nearly ten million, making Di Wu the undisputed number one influencer.

"Thank you for the magic book that makes the streamer think he's the MVP! Thank you, boss! You're so generous!"

I believe I am!

Di Wu’s words contained the same unwavering conviction that Otto had when he declared himself a professional player.

"But the MVP isn't that important to me, is it?" Di Wu shook his head. The LPL MVP doesn't have much of an impact.

Aside from being used in the opening lines, no matter how many honors you have, if you don't have MSI or the World Championship title, in the eyes of most viewers, you're just a nobody.

He ranked first on the Summer Split MVP list and, with 17 MVP awards, secured the Summer Split regular season MVP in advance.

This year, LGD and their neighbor DWG are somewhat similar, both rising to prominence unexpectedly. Xu Ge from DWG has already been confirmed as the MVP of the LCK Summer Split.

Next, after the playoffs, the main event of this year's World Championship will arrive, and it will be held on LPL's home turf.

Can we beat JDG tomorrow?

"Do you want to see what you're saying? My buddy said..."

"Not a single game lost!"

The following day, at JDG's home stadium, Intel's home court!
This is the last regular season game between the two teams, and it will determine JDG's regular season ranking and playoff round.

Familiar plot, familiar scenes!
In JDG's rest area, Kanavi rubbed his hands together...

"We must win today!!!"

"no problem!"

Toothpaste nodded, his eyes blazing with vengeance.

Do you really think our JDG brothers are easy to mess with?

In the Spring Split, they lost a crucial regular season game, which prevented them from reaching the semifinals and giving them a chance to play in the MSC.

The opportunity has once again presented itself to JDG, and they must consider whether this might be their only chance in their lifetime.

"Welcome everyone to the final week of the 2020 Summer Split regular season! Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

"Hello everyone, this is Wawa! Today I'll be bringing you two matches: LGD, who are currently firmly in first place and virtually unbeatable, and JDG, who are second in the regular season!"

The big screen displayed today's featured matchup: Peanut vs. Kanavi.

Peanut may not be in good form during the Spring Split, and his team is increasingly lost as they continue to lose their way.

However, Peanut has rediscovered his form from S6 in the Summer Split. This match between Peanut and Kanavi can be considered a clash between top junglers in the LPL.

The official data charts for the two junglers have been released, and Kanavi's percentage score for JDG is definitely much higher than Peanut's.

Overall, the radar images of both junglers were roughly the same size.

The next second, the focus shifted to the mid-lane matchup between the two sides. At the beginning of last year's Spring Split, Di Wu had just made his debut in the LPL league.

At the time, everyone felt that Di Wu had played too few times, which gave him an advantage.

But
A comparison of the overall data from the Summer Split.
Diwu's six metrics were all maxed out, with three even exceeding the data table, while toothpaste only had a decent participation rate. The image formed the shape of a small javelin puncturing a balloon!

The official live stream room has exploded.

"What is this? Director, are you sure you're not mistaken? It's overflowing!"

"It seems that Gnik's data is too abnormal. If we use his as the standard for a hexagon, then the hexagons of the other players are not worth looking at!"

"It's okay, darts are for popping balloons! The bigger the balloon, the easier it is to hit it!"

"Gao Gao was so prescient! She threw a dart specifically to pop Gnik's balloon!"

"Holy crap? Is this some kind of insane thing?"

At TES's base, they were naturally watching the match that would determine their fate and that of JDG.

If LGD can finish the game 2-0, they will secure a direct ticket to the semifinals.

With their runner-up points from the Spring Split, if LGD ultimately wins the championship, they can almost guarantee a spot in the World Championship by leveraging their lead in points.

We've all been professional players for so many years, and we all know how much pressure there is in the gauntlet matches!

If they could directly enter the World Championship, they would never want to participate in the qualifying tournament.

Knight, in particular, who was killed by JKL's one-man squad and one kick back then, has developed a phobia of the gauntlet tournament.

Even if he's really unhappy with Di Wu, he still hopes Gnik can lead LGD to victory against JDG in this BO3 series!

Both sides quickly arrived at the arena. Coach Hongmi stood behind the stage, holding a small notebook in his hand.

His eyes were also blazing with fire; JDG had suffered too much from Gnik's ravages.

Since their first encounter in the Spring Split, every time they've faced off, they've hit JDG's weak points.

JDG's Spring Split points are even lower than FPX's!

They need to go very far in the Summer Split if they want to avoid the gauntlet.

Don't underestimate this small regular season game. Redmi calculated the score before the game. If they lost 2-0, TES would almost certainly secure a spot in the World Championship.

Then JDG can only compete for a high-ranking spot in the gauntlet!

Fortunately, the victory at this year's MSC gave LPL an extra spot in the World Championship.

"Gnik!"

The thought of Di Wu made Hongmi unconsciously clench her teeth.

You're the underwear-wearing kid, aren't you!?
Today, I'm going to strip you naked.

In this match, JDG is on the blue side and LGD is on the purple side.

Both sides' first three picks were very quick, with JDG banning Nidalee, Graves, and Renekton.

Instead of restricting Diwu in the mid lane, LGD banned Sett, Caitlyn, and Trundle.

"Ding!"

Redmi acquired the Ice Blade almost without hesitation.

This version of Ashe can provide a lot of help in the early game in the jungle and lane. After Aphelios was nerfed repeatedly, this kind of utility ADC is considered a very mainstream bot lane ADC in the current version.

Actually, this is a bit of a nerf for ADCs like GALA who prefer to farm peacefully in the early game and then get their three core items in the mid-to-late game.

"Ding!"

Without hesitation, LGD picked Jhin on the first floor and then locked in Leona on the second pick.

A hint of cold light flashed in Redmi's eyes. Gnik
They held back! They didn't take the cards?

In his simulated draft phase, Twisted Fate is likely a very important hero.
"Let's lock down Ornn first! Then we'll get Kindred!"

"Ding!"

Kindred!?
In the studio, Miller and Wawa exchanged a surprised glance.

Kanvai's Kindred in the Spring Split also set a new low for him: Kindred with 0 stacks of passive.

Did Kanavi pull out Kindred again in this match?

"Knavai! Kindred is here again, he's determined to prove himself!"

"Brother's Kindred is absolutely hairless!" Miller nodded approvingly.

Top players need to have that kind of unbeatable confidence; there are no permanent winners in esports.

The blue team on the third floor also hesitated for a moment.
They showed up with Lilia, but ultimately didn't choose her.

I don't know if it's because everyone hasn't figured out how to play this hero yet, but Lillia's win rate in the LPL is only 17%!
At this point, Mai Zijian didn't dare to gamble and opted for the safer choice of picking Jayce first!
"Jace?"

Redmi smirked coldly. This was definitely not Gnik's Jayce. He wouldn't actively pick Jayce. This Jayce was for Flandre in the top lane to use Zoom.

"We're banning LeBlanc and Orianna!"

JDG subsequently banned LeBlanc and Orianna, while LGD banned Syndra and Tahm Kench.

Both sides entered the second round of the draft. Peanut locked in Lee Sin, while Jayce's position remained undecided!

Redmi waved its hand and said, "Take Galio and Titan!"

"Huh? Just Galio?"

Although Toothpaste had his own suspicions, after all, they banned Tristana and had the Galio and Kindred combo.

But
The opposing team has already picked Jayce. What if they switch champions?
"Don't worry! I won't waver. I know Gnik better than Gnik does now!"

Redmi's firm words prompted JDG to lock in Galio and Titan in their next two picks.

After some hesitation, LGD's last move was to pull out a card.

"Hmph! I knew it!"

Hongmi couldn't help but clench her little notebook, which was filled with drawings of Di Wu's various kinds of underwear.

"I've seen through you, both you and your underwear!"

Redmi couldn't help but stick out its tongue.
LGD, you're doomed!
