Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 351 Hello everyone, I'm Mingkai
Because FPX didn't have any means to resist the push, Edg didn't choose to recall to replenish their supplies after taking Baron. Instead, they took advantage of the fact that Nocturne hadn't respawned and launched a mid-lane push, easily destroying the mid-lane inhibitor in front of the remaining four FPX players.

Afterwards, the group went home to resupply and began the classic 131 torture king tactic.

The top laner Renekton and the mid laner Pantheon split push on the top and bottom lanes respectively.

In the mid lane, Spider, Kai'Sa, and Nautilus continuously pushed forward, applying pressure.

With Renekton having Teleport and Pantheon having his ultimate, and with the Baron buff, FPX struggled to cope and had a very difficult time defending.

Especially with the mid-lane high ground gone, Nightmare must help defend the mid-lane to ensure that if he goes to the top lane, the bottom lane will not be attacked.

This immediately narrowed FPX's operational space.

With a Baron buff, they faced almost no pressure and pushed down all three of FPX's inhibitor turrets.

now.

Edg has two choices.

First, go home to replenish supplies, then come out to get the fourth small dragon to complete a Wind Dragon Soul, greatly enhancing your combat power.

However, that would cause the Baron buff to disappear.

The second option is to continue this wave of progress.

They crushed the S9 champion team in one fell swoop and ended the game.

While everyone hesitated, Brother Zaozi decisively shouted, "One wave, one wave, no need to drag it out!"

"One wave?" Upon hearing Zaozi's words, Meiko and Scout were stunned and turned their gazes to Li Luo.

"Aren't you going home to resupply?"

Based on Edg's previous style, even if they pushed down all three lanes and had such a huge advantage, there's a 99% chance they would play it safe and go back to base to get some resources and replenish their equipment before engaging in the final team fight.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with this mentality of seeking stability, but looking at Edg's memorable moments, whether it's being overturned by a 10,000 gold deficit or the 4396 deficit, it's all because of this damn "stability".

This composure sometimes meant that even when Edg had a huge advantage, no one could step up and tell them how to turn that advantage into a winning position to end the game. Instead, they focused solely on managing the game and dragging it out, giving their opponents a chance to breathe and seize an opportunity to pull off those seemingly unbelievable comebacks.

In the eyes of the audience, Edg should go back to base to replenish their supplies and then use their superior strategy to end the game.

But now, with Zaozi and Li Luo around, Edg is clearly no longer the same Edg.

Li Luo also hopes that Edg will become a team with both courage and strategy, so he said without hesitation:

"I'm in great shape. Xuanjun will try to hold off the Fiora later."

Hearing the factory manager's firm voice, Scout and Meiko, who were still a little hesitant, immediately felt reassured and prepared for a move.

In the commentary booth, when Edg hesitated after securing three Baron Nashors, the commentators also felt that, given Edg's style, they would definitely recall to base.

But
"What? Edg doesn't seem to be planning to leave. They're waiting for the minions to arrive on all three lanes before launching a full-scale attack? It's already a one-shot kill?"

"The Dragon Soul has spawned, but Edg is trying to make a decisive push. This decisiveness isn't like Edg at all. Today, their performance in every aspect makes me think this team is a bit like IG from S8!"

"Yes, with the final Baron buff, they're about to launch their attack!"

On the field, when FPX saw that Edg did not choose to return to base to take the Dragon Soul, the players instantly understood their current situation.

"They're planning a big attack!"

"Hold on, hold on this wave, if Fiora farms up a bit, we can still fight."

"Hold the line, brothers! Go clear the lanes, top and bottom!"

In front of the inhibitor turret, Doinb quickly deployed his forces to defend against the minion wave attack. Unfortunately, whether it was Senna, Gragas, or Fiora, clearing out the two super minions coming from the wave was quite difficult.

Even Doinb himself knows that defending the minion wave is already so difficult, let alone facing the attack next.

Having just won the world championship, how could he be beaten so badly?
Coin Bro's face was full of bitterness; his relaxed expression was gone, replaced by a mask of pain.

The first to make a move was Flandre's Crocodile.

Under Li Luo's command, Flandre focused all his attention on Fiora. He first used his E skill to get close, and before Fiora could react, he flashed to her face and used his red-rage W.

Meanwhile, the junior player's Pantheon unleashed his ultimate skill near Fiora, blocking the path for the rest of FPX to provide support.

Seeing this, Meiko, positioned on the lower flank, also activated her ultimate skill, targeting Lin Weixiang's Senna.

When Xiaotian saw everyone focusing their attacks on Fiora, he quickly used his ultimate ability to support her.

Unfortunately, Zaozi Ge got stuck the moment after Gragas's ultimate landed and disappeared, using his R skill to fly to Fiora's side and unleash his explosive damage.

On the other side, Li Luo also controlled the Spider, following Mei Kou's Titan to frequently harass from the flanks.

Faced with Edg's well-defined team fight initiation, FPX, whose economy was already not good, was as fragile as paper. As soon as Nocturne used his ultimate to close the vision, Fiora collapsed to the ground with a cry and was directly killed by the damage.

Who to fly to?

Seeing the five opponents sharpening their knives, Doinb's hand trembled, and the mouse he was using to select Kai'Sa clicked on Pantheon instead. He flew over in a daze and gave away his own kill.

The team fight, where two were traded for zero, was won very easily. FPX's lineup is inherently strong when ahead and weak when behind, and now they were even more vulnerable despite their economic advantage.

Without the agonizing time they used to endure in matches, Scout and Meiko smacked their lips, seemingly a little unaccustomed to it.

However, judging from their expressions, they were indeed very happy.

This feeling is incredibly refreshing, like a thrilling and exhilarating competition. Compared to the previous "squeezing toothpaste" feeling, this is undoubtedly much more comfortable.

"Time to go home, time to go home"

"What time is the next game? After today's FPX game, the rest of the matches are pretty much guaranteed."

"take off!"

At this moment, the game had only lasted twenty-three minutes and fifty seconds, and this crucial battle had already ended.

Edg announced their strong comeback this season with a decisive and clean-cut battle!
In the commentary booth, after watching EdgG's final, thrilling team fight, commentators Wawa and Miller also became excited:
"That was beautiful. Now that Clearlove is in charge of EdgG, his command is clearly more precise and efficient than Meiko's. Especially in the last wave, his decision to instantly kill Fiora showed how well they coordinate."

Miller excitedly analyzed, pointing out several particularly detailed points as the director replayed the exciting footage.

"The team's Elise was constantly positioned on the flanks, putting immense pressure on FPX's carries. Because of Elise's unique skill set, FPX had no effective counterplay. This match was incredibly exciting."

"Yes, Edg's strength has regressed by five years!" Wawa said with a chuckle.

"Without any suspense, in this final team fight, Edg achieved a 3-0 exchange, winning their opening victory in the Demacia Cup. Let's congratulate Edg and hope to see them perform even better in the subsequent matches." After summarizing, the live stream switched to showing the situation on site.

After winning the game, the Edg team immediately took off their headphones and stood up with smiles on their faces.

Won!

This match was Edg's first appearance after their reorganization.

It is also a battle of public opinion that has attracted much attention from people around the world.

Is forming an All-Star team feasible? How strong are the veteran players? In this game, they delivered a satisfactory answer to everyone.

Li Luo's score in this match was 4-0-11.

A very average jungle performance.

The main reason why it's not very impressive is that Spider is inherently a hero with this characteristic; she is not the kind of hero who can quickly convert jungle carry gold into kills.

This is also the key reason why Elise dropped out of the Tier 1 tier after Riot Games changed the jungle.

However, Li Luo was already very satisfied with the victory, and such a beautiful and decisive one at that.

The jungle carry meta hasn't fully arrived yet, and pushing your own performance too hard will cause many problems for the team. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities when the meta shifts.

After securing a point against FPX, Edg is guaranteed to get a point against the next LDL team. As long as they get a point against WE and LGD, Edg will be guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals.

As the five Edg players walked out and headed towards FPX's booth, the audience was not only cheering for Edg, but also for fans of other teams. Some even shouted "Edg will win!"

"Let's shake hands, stop staring," Li Luo said with a smile, patting the others who were a bit stunned.

"These are just appetizers if you want to win the final honor."

"You're too strong. You're definitely going to be the MVP this time," Zaozi said casually after a moment of stunned silence.

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter. We've won enough honors; if we don't win the final championship, none of this matters."

The group chatted and laughed as they walked up to the FPX members and shook hands.

As the team's top laner, Flandre naturally walked at the front, with the others lining up to shake hands.

When Li Luo came over to shake hands, Xiao Tian's expression was a little unnatural and not very pleasant.

After all, he is a top jungler who just won the championship. Whether from the perspective of LPL viewers praising J8 without an S-series title, or from the perspective of his performance last season, he should not be performing like this.

As we all know, the factory manager is Xiaotian's idol. The reason why Xiaotian stepped onto the professional stage was because he was inspired by Edg's victory at MSI.

Therefore, strictly speaking, it wasn't PDD who made Xiaotian who he is today, because it was Clearlove who led him into the professional arena, while PDD simply gave Xiaotian an opportunity.

Playing so poorly in front of his idol was extremely painful for him, who usually seemed indifferent to any honors but was actually very competitive.

Li Luo naturally saw Xiao Tian's face as well, but he pretended to be nonchalant, shook hands with him, and walked downstairs.

The current Xiaotian is not the same Xiaotian from RNG. He is the S-series champion and the FMVP. He has his own pride, and it's not up to him to comfort him.

After shaking hands, the Edg team returned to the lounge.

On the commentary stage, as Guan Zeyuan and Rita took the stage, Wawa Miller was still discussing the match that had just ended.

"Hey, Edg only won one game, and you guys are already doing this? There are still three best-of-five series to go."

As soon as Colonel Guan opened his mouth, everyone burst into laughter.

On the screen, a replay of the match began.

The first thing to happen was naturally the first gank in the bottom lane to bypass vision.

Then came the blind E kill on Nightmare at the mid lane F6.

Then came another brilliant attack from the spider, which, together with Flandre, managed to kill two people. The spider was involved in three consecutive shots.

In the following exciting scenes, Li Luo's spider also appears frequently, demonstrating a strong sense of presence on screen.

After the highlight reel ended, the MVP award, unsurprisingly, went to the jungler Elise.

One survival, four kills, an assist, and nearly 12,000 damage output—that's incredibly impressive for a spider.

This MVP award is truly well-deserved.

When Spider won MVP, the viewers in the official live stream were not too surprised. Even some Uzi fans said that the MVP should be given to Clearlove.

Just like when Doinb was at his worst, FPX was the strongest team. When Uzi had no presence in the team, it also proved how terrifying the team was.

"Clearlove deserved the MVP award in this game; his Elise performance was outstanding. His consistency is incredible. I think the next team facing Clearlove needs to be very wary of his jungler."

"Okay, we've received the message. Next up is the MVP interview, which everyone loves."

The camera then shifts to the interview area next to the main stage.

The person in charge of the interview was naturally Aunt Yu Shuang. It had been a long time since I had seen him. When I saw him again, Li Luo had become the factory director.

Yu Shuang in this timeline naturally no longer recognizes her.

On the interview stage, standing in a somewhat shabby corner, Li Luo looked straight ahead at the camera.

In the previous timeline, he was a super player who won the S-series championship twice in a row, and also the bot lane demon king who won the FMVP twice in a row.

The moment he looked into the camera, his arrogant and haughty expression was on full display.

Even Yu Shuang, who was looking at the cue cards and preparing to ask questions, was momentarily stunned by the aura suddenly emanating from Li Luo!
Is this the factory manager?

Why do I feel that he is even more "confident" than Faker?
With a question in mind, Yu Shuang forced a smile, revealing a sweet one, and then said, "Welcome to the interview segment. I'm your host, Yu Shuang. Today, we're interviewing our MVP of the round, Clearlove. Please say hello to everyone."

Li Luo took the microphone and said calmly, "Hello everyone, I'm Ming Kai!"

Although Li Luo's tone during his self-introduction was emotionless, the audience erupted in cheers as they looked at the MVP winner who exuded a strong personal style!
It's unclear who shouted it, but afterwards only one voice remained in the entire venue:
"Factory manager, awesome! 777777!"

The thousands of people still watching the game at the scene shouted "Factory Director" in unison, which was a very spectacular scene for such a small competition in China.

Especially when we go back to the matches where Edg played, we have to go back to the S7 World Championship when Edg completed the feat of coming back from 0-2 down to win 3-2. The scene of the whole stadium chanting one person's name back then can be compared with the current situation.
