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

Chapter 161 "The Most Intimidating Group Photo of the Year!" (6k5)

Currently, LGD has three dragons in hand, and the Baron has already spawned.

"LGD has many ways to end the game, but TES only has one: Gnar has to initiate a good team fight!" Godv was also very excited to watch the game.

To be honest, I've been retired for so many years, and I do have some bias towards LGD.

However, as a senior player, what I really want to see is an exciting match.

TES's resilience in the later stages was also quite admirable, and 69
He is not yet "bucket-like" or "ten-floor desperate Udyr," nor is he the player who only dares to cower and act as a so-called team top laner but dares not take the carry role.

He is still young and has not experienced the dark era of rotation when Warhorse led the team. Under the protection of Brother Hao and White Crescent, 369 is definitely a player who is extremely confident in himself.

The stage has been set up for him. 69's task is to roll the dice to 9 and then initiate a perfect team fight to win the game for his team!

"We definitely can't give them the Earth Dragon. I'll go straight for them head-on! If I, Huang Nu, am the leader, they won't dare fight to the bitter end!"

369 also understood that giving the Earth Dragon was tantamount to giving the game to them.

The Sett in the mid lane of the team on the left was already lacking in damage, and with the Earth Dragon going, TES couldn't play anymore.

My teammates have been stalling for so long, going to 1v1 against the crocodile and pushing the turret, just waiting for me to carry the game.

"Be careful, this deals way more damage than Ryze!" Knight tapped on Ryze's three-item set.

Even without a hat, Ryze's three items already provide terrifying damage output.

It's still a Conqueror Ryze, but the key is that Gnar is vulnerable to crowd control and can easily be killed in one combo.

Just because of a fed Ryze doesn't mean we should forget that they have two champions, Nautilus and Ashe, who are very strong at initiating fights.

"Just connect the center line first, then check the river's visibility." The older brother, with his strong heart, remained calm and made a decision.

The dragon has about forty seconds left to respawn, and both sides are handling the mid lane very quickly.

LGD needs to maintain vision control around the dragon pit while also securing vision around the Baron.

In any other team, with a lineup that has Ryze's ultimate, Baron Nashor is almost never a problem to defend against, not to mention that TES's lineup isn't fast enough to take down Baron Nashor.

but
That's Top Bo!

You think we can't take down Baron? Top Esports doesn't need your opinion!

They can talk at the dragon whenever they want.

"Don't rush, wait for Mark to come with me! Flandre, step on the river bushes. If they don't try to block vision around Baron, we'll rush it. If they put pressure on Baron, move towards me. I can drive you guys there!"

Di Wu remained very calm, and there were only two possible tactics for Top Esports.

The first type is the "boom-and-bust" style of operation: no matter what, I'll move the big dragon first and force you to come over here!
The second type.
The game is being played like a clockwork game; it feels unplayable. I'll just use a speed boost to end the game.

Start right at Big Ben!
TES grouped up and pushed forward to the lane. Leona stood at the F6 pass and placed a control ward in the bottom river bush in the mid lane.

However, this true sight ward was quickly destroyed by the crocodile's AWA combo.

But this also revealed the composition hidden in the bushes for TES: a Titan and a Renekton.
Once someone gets hooked while warding, the Titan can unleash his QR combo, and then LGD's two carries will come up, making it impossible for even Leona to survive.

The vision pressure was already immense, so Mark placed a fake ward and a second control ward together in the bottom river bush in the mid lane.

Karsa then launched a spear, forcing the crocodile back, and Sett and Leona joined the attack.

They managed to force Titan back and secure the mid-lane river bush position.

However, faced with the pitch-black riverbed before them, they still had to explore forward step by step.

After attacking the minion wave a few times in the mid lane, 369, who was stuck in the Yellow Fury position, also pushed up. At this stage, the Yellow Fury Gnar is quite threatening in this position.

369, standing at the front, also felt the responsibility of leading the team: "Let me do it! I'm about to grow big, they probably won't dare to fight!"

His rage was at a good level; the opponent couldn't quite unleash his full power, leaving him in a delicate situation.

Flandre stood in the small bushes in the middle of the river, where both sides had placed their true sight wards.

The dragon will respawn in a dozen seconds, and the two sides are currently at a stalemate, with neither side intending to make the first move.

TES is wary of LGD's fed Ryze and their terrifying initiation.

LGD might be wary of this Gnar, who is about to grow larger.
The instant Flandre removed the Control Ward and 369 stepped forward to place another Control Ward...
"Ding!"

This time, Diwu took the initiative to flash forward and use EW to pin the enraged Gnar to the spot.

Flandre unleashed her ultimate ability, followed by Nautilus's hook, which perfectly connected with Ryze's root.

In this game, Gnar was basically split pushing on the sidelines against Renekton, so he also opted for a build with Ninja Tabi.

Once you're under this chain of crowd control, Titan can unleash his ultimate ability!
As Gnar took off from his spot, Knight flashed forward to try and pull Di Wu, who had initiated the team fight by flashing forward.

"Bing!"

Ryze's stopwatch perfectly dodged Sett's flash pull.

Knight immediately shifted his focus, turning back to try and help 369 out of the predicament.

"It's okay! I'm going to grow bigger. Trying to drive me away? They've blown up!"

369's lips curled up slightly. Although his health had been reduced by more than half in an instant, the damage from this Ryze was indeed terrifying.

He simply chained his own combo, combined with the damage and ignite from Renekton and Nautilus.

It's unbelievable that I could lose so much health in an instant, but
It's okay, because next up is my show!!

Watching the chaotic battle unfold from behind, the older brother immediately used an AQ attack on the seemingly vulnerable Titan.

The only thing he could do was to reduce the opponent's numbers first and then attack those he could reach.

Meanwhile, GALA was doing the same thing, constantly flashing forward to Sett.

And then he raised his hand and used his ultimate skill, aiming directly at Sett, who was already down to less than half health.
Knight watched as his favorability grew and the Frostbite ultimate flew towards him, then raised his hand and used W to punch the Titan in front of him.

"boom!"

"TES Knight has killed LGD Mark!"

???

Mark's eyes instantly cleared up. What the hell was that?!

One punch, one punch and I'm dead!?
And Knight used his ultimate ability to grab the crocodile next to 369 and take it away.

"Nice! We can fight! They've blown us up!" 369 shouted as he jumped forward with E to stand in front of Di Wu, who was holding the stopwatch.

His own RW control chain was enough for his teammates to focus fire and kill the Ryze.

Even Leona ignored the crocodile and eagerly walked towards Ryze.

LGD lost!

The next instant, Ryze's stopwatch ended, and 369 immediately used R to slam Ryze against the wall while Leona's E was also activated.

The moment 369 shouted those words, a bowling ball rolled down at his brother's feet.

???

Ding!
Lillia, inside the dragon pit, unleashed a devastating Q, applying her passive to Leona and Gnar, before unleashing her ultimate, Nightfall Ballad.
"LGD is acting a bit irrationally. Are they going to engage with 369? It looks like they're about to burst down Ryze, but they've been caught out. Is he a bit tanky? This Ryze! Wait, Peanut is in! He's going to put three of them to sleep!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice continued uninterrupted in the official live stream: "JKL cleansed away the sleep, but Nidalee is having a hard time because of GALA's ganks, so GALA came up and stopped Jhin too!"

"With Hanbing chasing and attacking like this, she's holding her own against two opponents!"

In that case, the 369 who were slept with
Di Wu took a step back and, just as Lilia W landed, used QEW to pin down 369.

Lilia raises her hand for another QA! She then performs another Q followed by a spin.

"LGD Peanut has killed TES 369!"

"LGD Flandre has killed TES Knight!"

Flandre, who was taken away to fight Knight in a 1v1, also won. After all, Knight's health was greatly reduced by GALA, and he was at most a tanky Sett with low health.

Without W and Flash, Flandre naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to kill.

Meanwhile, the prophet's Leona flashed into the dragon pit to escape, and her brother and Karsa knew what was happening.
"Let's go, let's go! If we keep fighting, we'll lose Baron!"

The older brother quickly shook his head. He immediately used Flash to break away from Ashe's pursuit. There was really no way to deal with this kind of sudden team fight, so Nidalee's role was relatively small.

Chicken Bro isn't making the first move; he's selling himself!

With this time, this archangel, and the stopwatch, he knows better than TES that he can't die. How can you kill him?

At this point, Hanbing's combat power was also quite good, especially in the continuous point-to-point combat. Everyone's attention was on Diwu, while GALA was stealing from the side.

"Wow? TES is on fire! Lillia's entry has completely changed the game!"

The three commentators all felt something was off; it turned out that no one had quite figured out how to play Xiao Lu.

Normally, this should be the effect of peanuts, right?
How could a new hero have a win rate in the teens in the league? The win rate of this new hero is just too terrible!

On the big screen of the broadcast, the output of this team fight was shown. GALA alone dealt more than 5,000 damage, becoming the player who dealt the most damage in the entire game.

LGD won a team fight and can also get the Earth Dragon Soul. It will be very difficult for TES to play from now on. Their output is not high to begin with, and with three Earth Dragon Souls, it will be even harder.

The Ryze that we couldn't deal with before is now even more unmanageable!
In LGD's voice chat, Di Wu shook his head with a hint of helplessness: "What a pity!"

If Knight hadn't instantly killed Titan with a single punch, the team fight would have been a resounding victory.

After a lot of effort, they only managed a 1-for-2 trade. 369 still had TP, Karsa didn't fall, and they couldn't even take Baron, only get the Dragon Soul.

How to put it? We gained a further advantage, but not the advantage we had anticipated.

It's a bit of a shame, Sett is a champion that requires too much "skill".

While Peanut was fighting the dragon alone, Diwu and Flandre were heading towards the mid lane to push another wave of minions. When the two reached the F6 wall, they accidentally stepped on a "Crowd Overwhelming" spell and were slowed down.

The older brother took a step forward from his own second tower, and just for a moment, he was exposed to the minion wave that LGD was pushing forward in the mid lane.

Ok?
Didn't he go back to base to replenish his health? Jhin with half health wasn't going back to base and was trying to greedily farm, or did he see himself and Flandre step on Jhin's E and want to use W on him?
Karsa will definitely be heading back, and Leona, who fled towards her own bottom side of the map, will most likely be heading home as well.

There was only my brother under the second tower!

"Fran! Come with me!"

Di Wu raised his hand and used his ultimate skill, Flying Leap, to land at the location of TES's second mid-lane tower.

"He didn't dodge, I just knocked it away!" GALA reminded him.

The older brother also noticed the winding path behind him and, without any hesitation, unleashed a deadly brilliance towards Ryze, who was acting as the driver.

"Francine."

"I'll block it! I'll block it!"

Before Diwu could even speak, Flandre stood directly in front of Ryze, intercepting the deadly brilliance, even though she herself was imprisoned.

However, as long as Ryze's ultimate isn't interrupted, it doesn't matter if his teammates are crowd-controlled! Renekton and Ryze were teleported behind their brother, who immediately headed in the opposite direction towards the mid lane to create distance, but...
Flandre flashed forward, used her E to burrow into her brother's arms, and used her A and W red fury to firmly press down on her brother's big head.

Di Wu followed, QEQ!

"LGD Gnik has killed TES Jackeylove!"

"big dragon!"

"Go straight for Baron!"

Just moments ago, Di Wu was thinking that his advantage wasn't big enough to defeat TES, but his brother pulled off a huge surprise.

He's greedy! Brother, he's either at Luofeng Slope or on his way there.
How should I even begin to describe you, brother?

This TES team, 69 might have been a bit pathetic to give away, but the brother gave away a really big one!
"Gnik was so decisive! Flandre's intervention was also crucial! It doesn't matter if she takes the control effect herself, as long as the driver can get away and she can get back in the car!" Godv nodded in satisfaction.

Chicken Nick's current judgment and actions.
What a terrifying existence! Nothing can stop Gnik now!
However, as Godv said this, the two people sitting next to him couldn't help but smile.

It's clear that Godv didn't watch the matches last year.
In the second live stream room, he watched in a daze as Flandre took the initiative to help Di Wu block Hua Cai, and his brain seemed to freeze.
"Forehead"

"Would you believe me if I said I actually wanted to help Lao Ji block the hook?"

No, Flandre, why are you blocking anything? You just like comparing things, don't you? Before, you compared TP support with Bin, now you're comparing blocking skills for your teammates.

Sigh, K is being targeted again!

The barrage of comments has completely exploded.

"Godv has started a group buy in the main stream! Guys!"

"Dewei dares to start a group? Does he really think we Igang are joking? Brothers, I'm running first, those with badges, please give this a thumbs up!"

"Hahaha, so who wouldn't block skills for their teammates?"

"I won't say Gnik is invincible until it's confirmed that there's no risk of him making a comeback."

With the older brother falling down like that, the dragon's fate was sealed.
TES lost its last hope
369's eyes were filled with disappointment. Could it be that he still couldn't do it?

If they hadn't been so aggressive and let Gnik lure them in, and if they had played better, would they have had a chance to defeat LGD?

A score of 1-1 and a score of 2-0 are two completely different things.

The pressure on TES in the third game was already at its peak, especially after Di Wu's solo kill in the mid lane in the second game!

Knight has been marked by Di Wu!

White Crescent is running out of options, and Knight's current state is a bit off.

Even Sett gets solo killed, so what do you want to play?

White Crescent looked at Knight with a complicated expression: "Next game."

"I think we should abandon all tactics! Abandon everything, abandon the 2-0 deficit!"

"Give it a try!"

"Play whatever you want!"

When the words "white crescent moon" were uttered, the older brother's eyes cleared.

Not
Is that so? This brings us to the part where we leave no regrets!
Brother, you still have your underwear to use? There's no need to be so pessimistic.
The older brother didn't say anything in the end. He understood that now he could only show his teammates through his actions.

It's not over yet!

But clearly, the older brother didn't take White Crescent's words seriously, while his teammates did.

In the third match, the older brother pulled out his "Urban Legend" camouflage underwear—Sena!
Di Wu was targeted severely, and White Crescent didn't care about whether the version was popular or not.

However, Di Wu still managed to get his guaranteed Azir, and Knight picked Ekko as his counter pick in this game.

I thought this match would be like the MSC, where Knight's Ekko instantly killed Faker's Azir in a crucial team fight, ending the game.

This match became a personal showcase for Di Wu. He dominated Knight in lane, maximized his damage output in team fights, and even managed to push his brother.

The match lasted 32 minutes!
LGD ended this so-called "final battle" with a score of 3-0, although there may have been some twists and turns in the match.

But this 3-0 scoreline also foreshadowed the fact that Gnik's current hot streak is unreasonable, regardless of his teammates' form.

Teammates may make mistakes or feed the enemy during the game, but Di Wu will always come to their rescue time and time again.

In LGD's rest room, Hu Ge and LGD's owner applauded.

"We're the No. 1 seed! After five years, we've finally won the Summer Split and secured the No. 1 seed!"

The LGD owner was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Five years later!!!"

"Five years! After five years, they've won the Summer Split! They will represent the LPL at the World Championship as the number one seed!"

Guan Zeyuan seemed slightly excited. In the Spring Split, who would have thought that LGD would be the LPL's number one seed for this year's World Championship?
At the time, JKL's transfer seemed to go unnoticed, but it led to LGD's current dynasty.

The director's camera focused on the excited "Afro" in front of the LGD match stage!
Little Peanut was trying very hard to contain his excitement.
But he couldn't stop crying.
Even though he already knew he was going to compete in the World Championship, the moment he won the title, it felt like something was released from his heart.

Many people may say that Peanut amazed the world from his debut, and the scene of his battle with Faker at his peak is still fresh in the minds of all viewers.

So what?
If he was at his peak from the very beginning, then Peanut spent the next few years chasing after that version of himself standing under the spotlight.

Only by truly experiencing hardship, being needed, and being abandoned, has Wanghu achieved what it is today.

It was only a matter of time before 18-year-old Han Wang-ho won the championship, and it was only a matter of time before 22-year-old Han Wang-ho won the championship!
He had a feeling that even if he didn't win the championship this year, it would still be a very unforgettable year for him!

His own teammates, LGD's coaching staff, and substitute teammates who were helping him.

They are all brothers for whom I would give everything!
This time, let's fight until we have no regrets!
When the camera focused on Peanut, he had already wiped away his tears, smiled and waved at the camera, and then bowed to thank the audience. The next moment, he couldn't stop crying again.

until
A hand hit his shoulder!
Little Peanut's body trembled.
Slowly raising his head, he saw only Di Wu's ferocious face, with his tongue sticking out, and a cell phone that he had somehow pulled out of his hand.

"No, where...where did you get this phone?"

He turned around and saw that Mai Zijian was standing behind him at some point, making a peace sign.

???

Is it his imagination?

Since the last time Mai Zijian cosplayed Coach Cvmax, he seems to be going up on stage to celebrate much faster.
"Wait, is this the key!?"

When did I start caring about such abstract details? Could it be that he's really changed a lot since coming to the LPL? (Except for his hairstyle, of course.)
"you"

Before Peanut could finish speaking, GALA joined in and gave a rare smile.

Flandre and Mark immediately came over. What was originally just Di Wu mocking the crying Peanut suddenly turned into a group photo of LGD's winners.

"Alright~ 3, 2, 1!"

"Crack!"

Fortunately, Di Wu was tall enough to capture the entire LGD team in a photograph.

Peanut glanced at the photo and frowned.
"I look so ugly! How about another one, Brother Di?"

"Okay, but don't."

"Um... I'm not sure if I should interrupt now?" The female referee behind them interrupted LGD's celebration: "How about we go shake hands with TES on the other side first?"

???

At this moment, the LGD players realized, "Oh right?"

I forgot to shake hands with Top Esports; he's still waiting on the other side!
Over there, the older brother just smiled helplessly at the celebrating LGD and waved to Di Wu. Although they lost the finals, TES at least advanced as the second seed.

After LGD defeated JGD in the regular season and then SN in the playoffs, TES secured their advancement.

In a sense, we should thank LGD!

"Good luck, JKL! Good luck at Worlds!!" Di Wu and JKL shook hands and exchanged a few words.

Finally, there was Knight, whose expression was somewhat complicated.
He used to be a substitute for his own substitute, but now he's stepped over his own head to win the number one seed.
Or rather, he's stepped on his own head four times in a row this year.
After shaking hands, Di Wu said earnestly, "Little Zhuo Ding! I hope everyone can be of good character, and I hope you won't do anything bad outside!"

???

Bad...bad thing!?
What do you mean? What bad things could I possibly do?!

Di Wu didn't offer any further explanation, after all, he hadn't spoken to Zhuo Ding either.
After walking to the center of the stage and bowing to the audience, Di Wu casually extended his hand to them.
Reaching out your hand isn't an apology; it's a way of saying, "Even if we fight five times, I'll still win!"
The audience at the scene had already started shouting.
"DGL, DGL, DGL!!!"

Many audience members even chose to shout with their backs to the stage, and some even fell to the ground to cheer. Fortunately, the security guards intervened quickly, otherwise the scene might have descended into chaos.

(picture)

Di Wu pursed his lips and smiled helplessly: "Everyone, please be careful! Don't get hurt!"

I'm happy, so let's keep it simple!
The LGD team held the trophy high, and the photographer quickly came over to help LGD take a group photo.

"How about the coach takes the trophy, and then we strike a cool pose, something imposing, and take a picture before we go!"

Make it a bit more imposing!

Di Wu glanced at his teammates on both sides, both of whom were rather abstract. Only Mark looked somewhat human.

However, since it's a photo of someone departing for an expedition...
"Hey guys, get serious, we've got a job!"

Upon hearing this, all five members of LGD, including Mai Zijian who was holding the trophy, became serious.
Di Wu stood in the absolute center position, slightly opening his arms, and a flowerpot card appeared out of thin air in his hand!

Peanut clenched his fists. He's decided to give it his all at this World Championship!
GALA revealed a rare, chilling smile. Mark smiled along with GALA, while Flandre gently adjusted her glasses.

Coach Mai Zijian held a tactics book in one hand and carried the Silver Dragon Cup on his shoulder with the other.

"Crack!"

A powerful group photo of LGD was produced, accompanied by golden fluff falling from the sky above their home stadium in Shanghai.

The photographer watched as LGD, with their coach holding back their opponents, began to tremble involuntarily. This was LPL's number one seed, this was LGD!

What is meant by "extreme sense of oppression"?

I must retouch this photo properly when I get back.

The photographer approached Di Wu and whispered, "Brother Chicken, can I add you on WeChat? And could we take a picture together? I'll get this photo retouched and send it to you later!"

Di Wu nodded at the photographer, "Let's wait until after the interview!"

Little did they know, this was combined with the photographer's unique filter.

"The most imposing group photo of the year!"

It appeared out of nowhere!

LGD's Summer Split has ended, and they will face all challenges as the number one seed in their home stadium of Shanghai!
. . . . . .
