Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 371 Undefeated Victory! Demacia Cup Champion!
After two consecutive crushing victories, the fighting strength of both sides is now on full display before everyone.

The difference is too big!
This is no longer a matter of tactics and strength determining the outcome.

At least until the version is changed, if other teams want to break through Edg's defenses, the first thing they need to figure out is how to withstand the pressure during the laning phase.

Edg's three lanes each exert top-tier pressure on the opposing LPL teams.

This means that in jungle skirmishes, the opposing jungler basically has no teammates to help them.

This effectively turns jungler into a fourth lane!

This is the shocking fact that the three commentators discovered at that moment!
In this situation, without careful research by the tactical coaching staff and without setting up tactics specifically for Edg, winning is virtually impossible.

Sitting backstage, Cha Shao looked helplessly at the five members of Suning who seemed somewhat withdrawn.

"I said, there's no way to fight this way. We can't even drag it out to team fights; we'll just collapse in lanes."

Ah Bin grabbed his hair and frantically scratched his scalp more than once.

In two consecutive games, the game ended before he could even get a chance to perform.

Especially in the second game, it was like in ranked games where the jungler disconnected and went AFK just five minutes into the game, so it was a 4v5 situation for the whole game.

In a competition, having one less player means you're at a disadvantage.

"Don't look at me, I can't help it. I'll take the blame for the second game, but I couldn't do anything about the first one." Seeing everyone's eyes turn to him, SofM shivered and shrugged helplessly.

"Coach, whatever you say, I'll do. You want me to dominate Xiye and Scout online? That's impossible! Those two are incredibly cunning. To put it bluntly, they're like two dogs raised by Clearlove, biting anyone they see."

Seeing the hopeful look in Char Siu's eyes, Black Angel waved his hands repeatedly, as if to say, "Don't count on me, there's nothing I can do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ning and the others burst into laughter.

This game is unplayable!

If no one knows how to win, how can we fight?
As the captain, Snake took the lead and offered his suggestion: "How about we practice in the next game? We can't beat them anyway. We've been with the Electric Wolves for a long time. It's not shameful for us to lose!"

With the curved accent and Snake's cheerful face, Su Ning and the others suddenly felt as if they had been freed from their shackles.

"Alright, let's go in for the next game. Just pick whatever you want to play and see if we can gain an advantage during the laning phase."

Char Siu put down his notebook and went all out.

What's the point of playing a match that's not evenly matched? It's better for Suning to be eliminated earlier and just give up.

Indeed, in the main timeline, this reorganized Suning team failed to even make it into the knockout stage of the Demacia Cup, with the entire team in poor form.

In other words, after replacing the ADC with iboy, they managed to make it all the way to the finals thanks to their bot lane.

In terms of actual strength, they are not as good as the top teams this season.

The third match started soon.

After this match, the tension between the two sides subsided considerably, and only the die-hard fans remained at the scene. A few scattered Suning fans also chose to defect and join the die-hard fans' army.

As for the fans of other teams, they naturally support the current strongest team.

As soon as both teams entered the stadium, the crowd erupted in cheers, with shouts of Edg's name filling the air.

Without a doubt, the clock stopped at 24 minutes, and Edg easily won the third game.

Edg secured their first championship of the year, marking their last title of 2019 and their first in 2020, defeating Suning to claim their first honor of the year.

It was also the day that Edg returned to the public eye after a year's absence.

After such a long period of silence, the name Edg has long been forgotten by the newcomers, with only a few veterans remembering the glorious days when Edg was at its peak.

"Congratulations to Edg!! They won this match! 3-0! They've won the 2019 Demacia Cup Finals!"

"Congratulations Edg, welcome back!"

Congratulations Edg!

The game footage froze, and the three commentators unleashed their highest level of professionalism of the day, their passionate voices fading away.

The tens of thousands of spectators at the scene instantly erupted in cheers!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Edg!! Edg!!!"

Welcome back, Edg!

"Wow!" The three LPL commentators exchanged glances, let out a long sigh, and could not hide their shock and surprise.

No one expected that Edg would complete the seemingly impossible things of restructuring, doubting, crushing, slapping faces, and winning the championship in just twenty days.

No one expected that the restructured Suning would lose to Edg in such a powerless way today.

"We see that everyone in Edg is very excited. They are hugging each other." Wawa watched the live broadcast camera, which showed a close-up of Edg's soundproof room, where Zaozi and his friends were excitedly embracing each other.

The commentator knows, the audience knows, everyone knows.

These young men aren't excited about winning the Demacia Cup.

The biggest reason for their excitement was:

Edg has successfully reorganized!
It's too difficult, it's really too difficult.

Of the five players in Edg, all are veterans; there are no rookies.

Only they themselves know that if the restructuring fails, or if the tactical styles clash or the players' styles clash, this precious year will be wasted!
How many years can a professional player squander? How much time can a veteran player just barely cling to life?
Fortunately, the result is good now; the efforts of a period of time have finally yielded results and rewards.

"It really wasn't easy." Seeing this, Miller, who also knew that everyone had some speculation about the outcome before the match, nodded: "The match was a test for everyone in Edg. If they passed this test, their future will be smooth sailing; if they didn't, they would stumble and struggle. Fortunately, today's championship makes it all worthwhile."

"On behalf of myself and the LPL commentary team, I wish Edg all the best in the upcoming S10 season, hoping they can achieve great results and restore the glory days of Edg!"

Best wishes to Edg!

Bless them!

The other two also said something in unison.

"Nice, guys!"

"Is winning the championship that easy? Anyone with hands can do it!"

"It's just a Demacia Cup champion. If it were the World Championship, I'd like to see if you could still say something like that." In the soundproof room, Li Luo slapped Zaozi on the back, and the Edg team burst into laughter.

However, in terms of happiness, this is Edg's first championship since S9 at the beginning of S10, so everyone is naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Before this, Edg was still embroiled in controversy, accused of teaming up, playing with celebrities, and being an "older generation" team. Everyone was holding their breath, waiting for this moment to explode! "Let's go, let's go, the other side is still waiting," the referee reminded them at the right time.

It's time to shake hands! It's time to claim the championship!
As soon as I opened the door to the soundproof room and stepped out of the frame, a suffocating wave of sound swept over me.

The terrifying sound waves converged, like surging waves or a volcano about to erupt!
At that moment, all the fans stood up excitedly, waving Edg light sticks in their hands.

The memory of Edg's defeat in the quarterfinals during S8 is still fresh in my mind, and the commentators' lament still seems to echo in my ears.

Now, Edg has become the sole protagonist inside the Chongqing Huaxi Culture and Sports Center.

Even fans of other teams in the audience were shocked by Edg's fanbase!
The sheer number of Edg's longtime fans, dog fans, pig fans, and Greek fans was truly frightening.

Amidst the boundless cheers, the Edg team walked all the way to the Suning match room across the street and shook hands with each of them.

During the handshake, the Edg players who were close by could clearly feel the helplessness and despair of the five Suning players.

iboy's face was as white as a sheet of paper. He stared blankly at the team logos on the clothes of the Edg players who were walking over, lost in thought.

On the way, Abin shaved his hair into a mess and kept rubbing his eyes with his head down.

The others weren't much better off; even now, after three consecutive lessons, none of them have recovered.

Don't be discouraged, keep going, see you at Worlds!

Seeing this scene, Li Luo felt a strange mix of emotions. It wasn't pity, but rather a realization that the competitive arena was truly too cruel and realistic.

He was the one who advocated selling iboy to Suning, and as it turns out, Suning also really needed iboy, and iboy was a good fit.

But there can only be one champion.

The timid boy who stood behind him and called him "Brother Dog" has grown up.

Especially seeing his pale and helpless face now reminded Li Luo of the confident and high-spirited look on iboy's face when he first said he was leaving.

iboy noticed someone talking to him, looked up, and saw that it was Li Luo.

"Brother Mingkai, I will work hard!"

"Work hard, you're still young, the future is yours!" In a short time, the two didn't exchange many words. After the handshake ended, the Edg team walked out of Suning's soundproof room.

Once you've won the game, you must keep pushing forward.

This isn't the first time I've tasted victory. From the Uzi era to the Clearlove era, the circumstances are different, but the heart that pursues the championship will always beat hotly!

Only the S-series!
After silently reciting a couple of sentences, Li Luo raised himself up and led the team to the center of the stage.

The excitement at the scene continued; no one chose to leave, and everyone was waiting for the moment of victory.

Without saying much, he walked to the center of the stage, picked up the championship trophy, and raised it above his head.

Wow!
Once again, a deafening roar of cheers erupted from the crowd.

The Demacia Cup King is back!

The Demacia Cup championship ceremony was relatively simple. After a brief celebration, everyone returned backstage.

On their way back, Li Luo and Zaozi received a post-match interview invitation from the PL officials.

After saying goodbye to the others, the two went to the side of the stage and entered the interview area to prepare.

"Hello, Mingkai, we meet again." The person in charge of the interview is Yu Shuang, the official interview host for the LPL finals.

Today, Yu Shuang wore a black and white cheongsam, the colors of which closely resembled the style of Edg's team logo, indicating that she had prepared carefully.

After exchanging greetings like "We meet again," Li Luo entered the interview area to prepare.

The cameraman next to him also started moving the camera to point it in the center.

"You played really well!" Aunt Yu Shuang didn't hold back her praise. She was also a viewer of the LPL region, and she could tell at a glance whether a team played well or not. Ever since she noticed Edg in the first match of the Demacia Cup, she had gradually come to like the team.

Coupled with Li Luo's previous strange behavior, Yu Shuang naturally attracted a lot of attention.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zaozi Ge wanted to say a few more words, but before he could reply, the director notified him, and the camera zoomed in.

Yu Shuang immediately put on a professional smile: "Welcome everyone to today's post-match interview. We have invited EDG's jungler, clearlove7, and their ADC, Uzi!"

Li Luo and Zaozi simultaneously grabbed the microphones: "Hello everyone, I'm Edg's jungler, clearlove7."

“Hello everyone, I’m Uzi!”

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Pigs and dogs are awesome!"

"They're in the same frame! They're in the same frame! This is a historic moment!"

"Edgg is awesome! World Championship winners!"

"Uzu, 7-chan, forever a god!"

"Are you there? Keep the dirty talk coming!"

The enthusiasm of the audience exceeded the three's expectations. As soon as the two finished speaking, the audience in the front row gave them a lot of applause and cheers.

Only a small portion of them are old Edg fans; most of those who can shout are die-hard fans of the pig and dog.

In their eyes, the factory manager, after two seasons of silence, finally woke up in S10. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, the god of war has returned.

He made all the new players who joined the alliance aware of him and remember the ID clearlove7.

"Well then, congratulations to Edg for winning today's match and the Demacia Cup championship. However, we all know that this isn't the first time Mingkai and Jian Zihao have won this honor. Now, after the team's reorganization, winning the championship, what are your thoughts?"

The first microphone was given to Li Luo. Picking it up, Li Luo thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, I'm very happy. After all, we won another Demacia Cup championship, which proves that Edg is currently the strongest team. I'm very happy to have won the championship."

On the other side, Uzi was much more excited: "I'm quite happy to have won the championship. This is also the first championship I've won since leaving RNG. I hope it will be a good start for S10!"

Brother Zaozi's smile was radiant, like a gentle spring breeze, conveying an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

The fans in the audience were also quite emotional at this moment. In previous years, even when Zaozi (Zhao Zi) won the playoff championship, there was always a sense of pressure between his brows.

However, today they found that the pressure had disappeared!
Hearing their answers, Yu Shuang nodded and asked, "In the second game of the best-of-five series, Mingkai made several very impressive plays in the early game, such as stealing the blue buff and gromp in Suning's jungle and successfully driving out to catch SofM. Everyone is now speculating that it's a coincidence. I'd like to ask you yourself, are these coincidences?"

Hearing Yu Shuang's question, Li Luo was both amused and exasperated. He picked up the microphone and said frankly, "The first wave of stealing the blue buff and the gromp was partly due to our team's tactical support and individual experience in the jungle. But if you're talking about catching SofM at the F6 camp, emmm, in that situation, I can only say..."

"Don't be so arrogant if you oppose my F6!"
