This Lee Sang-hyeok is very strong, but he lacks self-awareness.

As the commentators slammed their fists on the commentary table, a faint crackling sound suddenly came from the sound system.

The hissing sound was somewhat jarring amidst the deafening roar of the stadium, but it was immediately drowned out by Guan Zeyuan and Ji De's almost hysterical screams.

The two leaned forward, their elbows resting on the commentary platform, their knuckles white as they gripped the microphone, as if they were pouring all their strength into every word.

"Congratulations to EDG! 3-2! In this epic battle between Pig and Dog, they were once in a desperate situation of 1-2."

"But after bringing in their substitute midfielder in the fourth set, they won two consecutive sets, making a strong comeback!"

"Lin Xiu and Faker, this substitute mid-jungle duo, have written their own legend tonight!"

Guan Zeyuan's throat was completely hoarse, but he still insisted on expressing his emotions in the most excited tone.

As a commentator, he has witnessed countless comebacks, but this is the first time he has seen such a thrilling match with twists and turns.

EDG dominated the first game, but RNG pulled off a stunning comeback in the second game thanks to Uzi's perfect team fight.

In the third game, Scout's Syndra delivered a dominant performance but it wasn't enough to turn the tide of the game, giving RNG a match point.

Then in the fourth game, Lin Xiu and Faker came on as a last-minute replacement, using the Jarvan IV and Galio composition to lead EDG in map-wide support, continuing the momentum from the previous game.

In the fifth game, the two sides fought fiercely for forty minutes, with wave after wave of team battles that were difficult to deduce, and every change in the rhythm kept everyone on the edge of their seats.

Such a match made even the two commentators, who were used to big occasions, lose all their composure as commentators and only have the purest passion for the game.

Remembering, he was panting heavily to the side; his shirt was already soaked with sweat.

"That was so amazing, that last wave. Uzi's Twitch had completely taken over the game. With his three-item build, Twitch was moving around in team fights, and his devastating damage made everyone think that EDG had already gone on vacation and that RNG was about to step on EDG's shoulders to advance to the finals."

"But Lin Xiu's kick, really, it kicked RNG off the high-speed train to the finals!"

"As for Faker's Karma, this game was just... well, let's just say he was terrible."

The audience below the commentary booth presented two completely different worlds at this moment.

The area, which had been filled with RNG fans, was now deathly silent.

The fans who were originally ready to celebrate the victory hadn't yet recovered from the reversal in the final team fight.

They stared blankly at the 3-2 score frozen on the big screen, their faces filled with disbelief and bewilderment.

The sword-pointing MSI light sign, tightly gripped in his hand, looked particularly glaring under the stadium lights, even carrying a hint of irony.

A female fan's eyes reddened, she silently lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the light board, she didn't even have the strength to shout.

[Take in heartbroken female RNG fans!!!]

Meanwhile, the EDG fan zone on the other side had already become a sea of ​​joy, with cheers that nearly lifted the roof off the venue.

Fans waved EDG team flags and player support signs; some hugged each other and wept, while others jumped up and raised their hands in cheers.

Others repeatedly chanted Lin Xiu and Faker's names, their voices ringing out in unison throughout the entire venue.

Colorful ribbons drifted slowly down from the stadium, landing among the cheering crowd, adding the most dazzling backdrop to this victory.

The official live stream chat was flooded with thousands of comments per second, and the server even experienced a brief lag.

[I'm a ten-year member of the Lin family army! Who just said Lin Shen couldn't carry this terrible mid laner? Come out here!]

[Is this all there is to RNG? An all-Chinese roster? I'll be laughing all the way to next year after Uzi's flash-forward play!]

Everyone knows how to Flash forward, but Uzi will never learn how to Flash backward.

Who would have thought that the substitute mid and jungle players would be the ones to save EDG in the end? EDG's bench depth is truly terrifying!

[Don't forget, on EDG's bench sits LPL001 player, Mingkai!]

[Can 4396 please take a break? Xiangguo's damage in the level 1 team fight was enough for Mingkai to last for 20 minutes!]

Congratulations EDG! See you in Dalian! We'll meet in the finals!

At this moment of national celebration, the director announced the MVP of the best-of-five series.

Everyone felt that the MVP should go to Lin Xiu, the jungler who set the pace in the fifth game and delivered the decisive kick.

Either he put on a perfect performance in the fourth game, or although he faltered in the fifth game, he didn't completely overwhelm Faker.

Even the EDG players subconsciously looked at Lin Xiu and Faker, their eyes filled with approval.

Lin Xiu leaned against the wall, a faint smile on his lips. He didn't seem to care much about who won the MVP award. To him, winning the game and advancing to the finals was more important than anything else.

Faker, however, was still basking in the afterglow of defeating his inner demons and paid no attention to it.

However, the big screen flickered twice, revealing a somewhat dull profile with his signature bangs.

The background hero is Syndra.

MVP - EDG Scout.

The sound waves in the stadium paused for a moment, then erupted into a huge chorus of boos.

On the commentary stage, Guan Zeyuan and Ji De exchanged a glance, both seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.

"This actually works?"

"Ah..." Remember coughed awkwardly.

"The director named Scout as the MVP. We can see that although Scout only played the first three games, his stats in those three games were indeed very impressive."

"Even in the two games he lost, his damage share was as high as 35%, while in the game he won, his Syndra truly dominated."

Guan Zeyuan could only go along with the conversation and try to smooth things over:

"It's probably a combination of their performance throughout the BO5. After all, when Scout was on the field, EDG's mid lane had an absolute advantage, and his average CS lead and KDA were very impressive even in the games they lost."

"However, it is indeed a bit of a pity for Lin Xiu and Faker, who turned the tide in the last two games."

"However, let's still congratulate Scout; he truly deserves the award!"

The comments section exploded in that instant.

[Well-deserved? After watching the last two games, I almost forgot EDG even had a mid laner!]

[Guan Zeyuan, you can continue your commentary against your conscience!]

To be objective, the first three games...

[MVP thief! Scout, did you steal your MVP?]

[A thief? A master thief!]

[I've never seen anyone steal like this before. The guys in front of us were risking their lives, and the guy who ended up receiving the prize was just watching from backstage?]

[From now on, don't call him Scout, call him the Saint of Thieves.]

[Unbelievable! Did Scout have anything to do with those two comeback games? Is this selection process based on luck?]

[Lin Xiu and Faker defied the odds and turned the tide, while Scout reaped the benefits? The title of "Thief Saint" is truly well-deserved!]

In this atmosphere filled with doubt and criticism, Scout walked onto the interview table with a blank expression.

He knew there would be a lot of criticism, and he didn't want to accept the award at all.

Therefore, his steps onto the stage were weak and listless, and he seemed somewhat unwilling.

The interviewer was Yu Shuang, who looked elegant and poised in her cheongsam today.

She could clearly sense the discontent among the fans in the audience.

But as a seasoned host, she calmly began the interview.

First of all, congratulations to EDG for winning today's match and advancing to the finals!

Yu Shuang smiled and spoke, trying to use her professionalism to maintain order.

"Today we have invited Scout, the MVP of this BO5 series. As a key figure in leading your team to the finals, how are you feeling right now?"

[What's the key point? Let me ask you.]

The key was that he didn't play; otherwise, they would have definitely lost!

[This is hilarious! The commentator is talking nonsense, and the host is blatantly lying!]

Scout took the microphone, and although his Chinese was still a bit rusty, his expression was very clear.

He glanced at the indifferent expressions of the fans below the stage, then at the MVP trophy in his hand, his eyes as calm as a stagnant pool:

"Actually, I was quite surprised to win this MVP award."

"I think the director felt that my performance in the beginning was worthy of being a starter."

"But to be honest, I think this award should go to Lim Soo and Sang Hyeok. Their performance in the last two games was so exciting that I felt my blood boiling just watching them from the audience."

Upon hearing this answer, Yu Shuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Scout didn't say anything outrageous or something she couldn't respond to.

But if you don't cross the line, I'm going to.

Then Yu Shuang posed a highly aggressive question:

"Everyone was concerned that you were substituted in the last two games, while Faker, who came on as a substitute, delivered an almost perfect performance in the fourth game."

"As a rival within the team, how do you view your relationship with Faker? Do you think he will threaten your starting position in the future?"

Lin Xiu and Faker, who were about to leave the stage for the rest room, stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the interview area when they heard this question.

Scout pondered for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his lips, revealing an extremely confident expression.

He glanced at Faker, who was watching him from below the stage, and said:

"Competition certainly exists, but in my eyes, Sang-hyeok is more like a little brother to me."

"He has great potential. Although he was a little shaky when he went on stage today and his mentality was prone to problems, he is a newcomer after all and has unlimited potential."

"I usually teach him some laning details, and today he played almost perfectly in the fourth game."

"Although there were some ups and downs in the fifth game, we still won. As a senior, I am really proud to see my little brother play so well."

Lin Xiu, sitting in the audience, was completely bewildered when he heard the words "little brother" and "senior".

"Rebellious against the Heavenly Spirits! Truly rebellious against the Heavenly Spirits!"

Lin Xiu mentally ranted and raved.

In his previous life, Scout was Faker's substitute on SKT's second team and was affectionately called "Little Brother" by LPL fans.

Here, they actually started calling themselves Faker's older brother.

Scout said this with such sincerity, as if he were truly the respected mentor who quietly guided newcomers.

Lee Sang-hyeok, who was in the audience, couldn't hear the subtle nuances in Scout's tone because his Chinese wasn't very fluent.

He even thought the term "brother" was some kind of affectionate nickname, and he bowed slightly towards the interview table and waved his hand, showing great politeness.

The comments section erupted in laughter.

[Little bro? Brother Li: Are you being polite?]

Is this the legendary "You played really well, but I'm your brother"?

[The Thief King not only stole the MVP, but also the Big Brother's title?]

[Li Ge: I was on fire on the court just now. Scout: Well done, as expected of someone I trained.]

[Lin Gou's expression in the audience was hilarious; the relationship between EDG's mid laners is really interesting.]

After the interview, everyone returned to the lounge.

As soon as he entered, Abu rushed forward like a madman, knelt on one knee, and tightly grasped Lin Xiu and Lee Sang-hyeok's hands:

"Great! That was fantastic! Xiaolin, that kick was divine! Sang-hyeok, your last few Qs were spot on, I felt my heart explode!"

The factory manager sat to the side, still with that stern expression, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.

He walked up to Lee Sang-hyeok and, for the first time ever, patted him on the back of the head:

"Xiao Li, you didn't back down that time, you did the right thing. Our EDG players can't just focus on farming."

"We must be bold and courageous in our fight!"

Just then, Scout walked in, holding the MVP trophy.

The atmosphere in the lounge paused subtly for a moment, as everyone had heard the interview.

Scout walked straight up to Faker and placed the trophy on the table.

"Sang-hyeok, this should be your trophy," Scout said, his voice regaining its usual calm.

"What you said in the interview was the truth; you played very hard today."

A complex emotion flickered in Scout's eyes, but more than that, it was a sense of relief.

"Although I still think I deserve to start, if I'm not in form for the next game in Dalian, you have to help me bring that championship back, understand?"

Faker was stunned.

He sensed Scout's camaraderie, which, though tinged with arrogance, was nonetheless extremely genuine.

Although Faker doesn't think Scout is better than him, he acknowledges that Scout is a high-level mid laner.

The rifts that emerged during this grueling competition allowed him to rediscover a sense of belonging within the team, which had previously made him feel somewhat lonely.

"I will." Faker nodded vigorously.

Abu, watching from the side, burst into laughter and immediately put his arms around the shoulders of the two of them.

"That's right! We, EDG, are a pair of twin mid-laners! We want the entire LPL to know that targeting one of us is useless, because there's always an even more monstrous one waiting behind us!"

Lin Xiu leaned against the door frame, watching this scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

However, what he cared about more was the system reward.

[Mission Completed: Help the god-like Lee Sang-hyeok break the nightmare, win the BO5 against RNG, and save EDG from their predicament.]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the mission rewards: Divine Synchronization Rate increased by 5%, one max-level proficiency hero unlocked, one Mental Debuff Removal Trial Card, and a cash reward of 50,000 yuan.]

[Reward for Mastery Hero: Crocodile]

Since neither the host nor Lee Sang-hyeok received the BO5 MVP award, and their damage output was not the highest in the game, they were unable to earn additional bounties.

Damn, the MVP selection is based on five games, and the system rewards are also based on five games.

Lin Xiu curled his lip; the crocodile was useless against him, a jungler.

As for the prize money, he and Faker only played two games each, while Xiaohu and Uzi played five.

How could the damage output possibly exceed that of these two people?

However, now that I've obtained a card to remove the mentality debuff, as long as I don't encounter RNG again...

Even if there are some minor setbacks, they can be resolved.

As for WE,

Xiye,Condi,957,Mystic,Ben,

None of them can intimidate Faker just by looking at their IDs.

This should be a sure win, right?
