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

Chapter 196 "DWG: Look how scary this is!"

"At this moment, a historic moment has arrived. On the stage of the 2020 World Championship Finals, LGD has gained three match points, giving them an absolute advantage!"

Miller looked at the big screen... Gnik Silas's MVP results screen.

Could it be that…

Faker's aging is equivalent to the decline of the LCK region.
Perhaps the LPL will continue its vigorous development?
Miller could hardly believe it. If LGD could win the championship today, it would be the third title for the LPL.

Furthermore, they've won three consecutive regional championships... Could it be...?

Samsung is in decline, Faker is getting old, has the LPL finally ushered in... its own era?
Guan Zeyuan, standing next to him, was equally excited, clenching his fists. Three match points.

Gnik beat Xu Xiu until she collapsed in her seat and refused to return to the lounge for a long time.

The next match could be the last match of S10.

However, TES's previous comeback from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 demonstrates that history is meant to be made.

Will LGD take the lead in one fell swoop, or will DWG bounce back from rock bottom?

In DWG's rest room, Coach Dani's face was already quite agitated.

After a series of losses, Dani even began to doubt whether there was a problem with her draft picks.
Gnik was unlike any other mid-laner he had ever encountered before.

"call!"

"Let's choose the purple side for the next match!"

Dani glanced at Xu Ge and felt that Xu Xiu's condition was far inferior to Gnik's.

Xu Xiu's many plays today were a bit of a pity!

"We have no way out now. It has been a difficult journey for everyone to get here this year. I hope everyone can live up to their hard work throughout the year!"

Dani's gaze fell on Niu Guli, who was adjusting his glasses.
He knew that he had to trust Niu Guli now!
We can't keep playing like this. We need to at least win one game to stabilize DWG's morale.

Only by winning one game can there be any chance!
They've lost their way of winning, and Beryl's signature Pantheon is being shut down by Poppy.

Moreover, this restriction doesn't mean that LGD paid a huge price; they simply used Mark, a relatively mediocre card, to counter Beryl, DWG's crucial trump card.

The methods DWG used to beat other teams are no longer effective against LGD; they need new tactics!
"Come on! The competition isn't over yet! No matter the outcome, let's finish this World Championship!"

A tear welled up in Dani's eyes.
He reached out his hand to the DWG players, if DWG only managed to get second place this year.
It's really nothing, after all, the DWG players are all quite young.

Legends also need time to mature; not everyone can be like Faker, reaching their peak and becoming a champion the moment they step onto the stage.
But it has to be said that there was one player on the field who looked very much like Faker!

Coach Dani looked up at Di Wu's MVP award-winning photo for the game.

In LGD's rest room, Peanut's clenched fists trembled slightly.

Just one step away! Just one more game, three match points away.

However, as a veteran player on the field, he will not easily let his guard down.

He will not relax in this match; every game in the World Championship is crucial.

He slightly raised his head.
Sang-hyeok hyung! Are you watching?

I'm going to win! Even if I'm not with you, but...
Peanut looked at Gnik beside him and said, "I've found a guy who looks exactly like you when you were young."

He seems capable of creating his own legendary story!

In his home in Seoul, Faker watched the 2-0 scoreline on the TV screen, feeling a sense of melancholy.

Actually, he's not a player who enjoys watching other teams play in the World Championship. In fact, many times when SKT didn't even make it to the World Championship, he simply stopped watching it altogether.

But this year is different. This year, Wanghu is in the World Championship, and the current score is 2-0.

"Is Wanghu going to win the championship?"

Faker couldn't help but smile when he thought of the person he had personally stopped in the semifinals.

To tell the truth
Time really flies! It's been four years since I first met Wanghu!

This year, Wanghu finally met its own "Faker"!
Faker stared at the ID Gnik without saying a word.

A new genius mid laner has emerged in the LPL!
T1 has been too turbulent this year. See you next year! Gnik! Let me meet you!

Devil!

The venue was now in an uproar!
With a 2-0 lead, during Teacher Piao's tea party.

All that's missing is Uzi standing up and shouting.
"What a wonderful start!"

Soon both players were back on the battle stage.

In this match, DWG didn't stubbornly choose the blue side again, but instead opted for a counter-position.

This time, we can no longer rely on the same methods DWG used to win; we need to find a surprising way to win!
Coach Dani's hair was completely messed up, but you could still vaguely tell that she had styled it before the match.

The two sides quickly entered the ban/pick phase of the third game. LGD, on the blue side, chose to ban Nidalee, Kindred, and Camille.

The double banning of Nidalee and Kindred was essentially a direct message to DWG.
They need to ban Graves.

DWG's first three picks were Graves, Lucian, and Twisted Fate.

Both sides entered the first round of player selection, and LGD made almost no hesitation.

The first pick instantly locked in Ashe for the bottom lane, and Ashe is still a very strong champion in this match.

Beryl's ability to roam is based on the fact that DWG's bot lane always gets lane priority. Beryl is a player who is very good at putting pressure on other lanes.

In the last game, as soon as the bottom lane got lane priority, they immediately started sticking to Gnik and pressuring him.

LGD's first pick of Ashe in this match was a very good choice.

Dani nodded in agreement. LGD reacted very quickly.
This means both sides lack jungle carry heroes, and with only Lillia available, nobody really likes playing her.

This match will depend on the jungler's champion pool!
DWG immediately picked Jhin, and then immediately secured another of Beryl's signature picks.

This is also one of Mark's signature heroes—Leona!
"Beryl's Leona is here? If that's the case, does that mean Poppy can still be played on the left?"

When Guan Zeyuan saw this Leona pick, he could actually understand Dani's thinking.

Mark doesn't have many options for the support role besides Leona. If they can't counter Gnik, surely they can counter Mark?
But
Mark still has a way to break the deadlock in this year's finals.
"In that case, Bobby is here!"

However, LGD did not lock in Poppy as their second pick, but instead chose Renekton and Lillia, a top-jungle duo that works quite well together.

LGD's draft was actually quite well-thought-out. They banned Graves in their first three bans. If DWG hadn't picked Graves, LGD could have easily picked what is arguably the best jungle carry in the World Championship.

You were forced to ban Graves, so Renekton was released!
The combination of Crocodile and Lillia has a different effect than Lillia alone.

However, Di Wu's third move, Lilia, did not rush to lock in, but instead revealed a small cannon.

"Oh? You still think you should pick Tristana? Gnik's Tristana played really well, but there aren't many good junglers with Tristana!" Guan Zeyuan blinked in surprise.

The next second, LGD's third floor revealed a Draven!

Oh, I understand now. So that's what it meant?

The director's camera zoomed in on Di Wu, who was talking to Flandre next to him, his smile incredibly bright.

Meanwhile, in LaoK's second live stream, LaoK couldn't help but smile as he watched this Draven play.

"Jin Nick, you're starting to summon gods! It's useless. We didn't cherish you, K God, when we were teammates. Now that you've retired, you, K God, have your own career plans!"

No sooner had Lao K finished boasting than a light appeared on the third floor of LGD.
Little Fishman!?

When Coach Dani saw this little fish, she was actually more flustered than Lao K, who was streaming the second channel.

Little fishman!?

It's not entirely his fault, after all, Gnik is known for his unpredictable and unexpected hero pool.

In the live stream room of Erlu LaoK
The comments section was now completely exploding.

"Hahaha! What's the point of showing Fizz at the end?"

"Ugh, I'm so embarrassed!"

"If I could just read Draven's face, I would understand what this really means!"

Dani: Is this some kind of secret weapon?

"A secret weapon? Secret kitchenware!"

"Danni has completely confused me!"

"It's confirmed, the flowerpots were chosen by Chicken Bro!"

Lau K's lips twitched slightly as he weakly retorted, "No, did I not feed fish to Nick the chicken last year? That's ridiculous!"

???

Flandre: Do you want to hear what you're saying?
When the director's camera was pointed at Di Wu, he seemed to sense it.
He made a throat-slitting gesture with his backhand, then stuck out his tongue, extending one hand to form a "3" and the other hand to form a "0"!

Not to mention the live chat, even the two official commentators couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Oh? Gnik!!??"

"Haha! This is a natural talent for being in front of the camera!?"

The live chat is completely exploding.

DWG: Look how scary this is!

"Hahahaha, I'll eat any human being!!"

"If Brother Xu saw this, wouldn't he be upset? He lost to such an abstract thing!"

"Oh no, Chicken Bro has been possessed by a flowerpot!!"

"Rounded up, it's like I also made it to the World Championship finals!"

However, Xu Ge on the other side had no idea why the audience suddenly erupted in cheers.

Facing the intimidating presence of the LPL home crowd.
His hands began to tremble uncontrollably!
Although he was reluctant to admit it, at this moment, he no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning when facing Gnik!

After trying several different heroes, LGD finally locked in Enchantress as their third pick, a hero that synergizes well with Renekton.

Seeing this, Dani finally relaxed and couldn't help but smile at the little deer she had just witnessed.
"Ding!"

DWG's third pick was Hecarim for Canyon.

This is one of the heroes that players have been very fond of using to counter Xiao Lu since she entered the competitive scene.

Canyon's players had appeared once before, also against the Deer, and he even won the MVP award in that game.

Canyon is also quite confident in himself.

Both sides entered the second round of banning.

LGD banned Kennen and Ornn, preventing Nuguri from having the chance to draft Flandre and Gyrocopter, and also preventing him from playing Eyjafjalla.

DWG banned Poppy and Tristana, who had performed exceptionally well in the first game!

Dani was already afraid of the Tristana hero.

Given that Diwu just made another play, what if LGD wants to use Tristana to pair with Lillia?

DWG is in a tough spot too.
It would be better to just ban it.

The two sides entered the second round of the ban/pick phase. On the fourth pick, DWG directly took Nuguri's Captain.

"DWG wants to give Nuguri a late-game carry champion!"

The two commentators in the commentary booth couldn't help but purse their lips as they looked at the captain locked up by Niu Guli.

Indeed, LGD's ban on Kennen was quite ahead of its time.

Having anticipated Dani's thoughts, it will be difficult to win the game at level one by relying on the mid-jungle duo.

Why not give the ball to Niu Guli!

The next shot showed LGD, and GALA immediately revealed Sylas, the same player Diwu had played in the previous game, as their fourth pick.

Xu Ge had a special position in this match, which can be seen as Dani protecting him.

Look at how badly the kids were beaten in the last game!

After some hesitation, LGD took the initiative and picked Pantheon first.

Then, on the fifth floor, LGD locked in Galio!
"Galio?"

In the LCK commentary booth, none of the three commentators relaxed for a moment while watching this Galio play.
Gnik plays Galio and Twisted Fate cards exceptionally well!

In comparison, Showmaker is more skilled with cards, while his Galio skills are only average.

Faced with the current 2-0 score, the LCK commentators couldn't help but recall Galio, who had once saved LCK from dire straits.

Perhaps this is the moment when they miss Faker the most!

But
Xu Xiu's eyes sharpened.
"Coach Dani! Trust me! Give it to me."

Before he could finish speaking, Dani had already placed a hand on Xu Ge's shoulder.
"Then let's choose!"

"Ding!"

DWG's final move: Sylas locks in instantly!
Gnik is a Sylas master, and so is my brother Xu.

"I am Showmaker!!"

Why should I avoid anyone's sharp edge?
