Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 379 The Battle to Prove Oneself

The S10 Spring Split was essentially a battle of weak teams, plus the need for new players from various teams to gel.

Even in the main timeline, apart from Top Esports soaring to new heights after JackeyLove joined them in the Spring Split, other teams also experienced wins and losses.

However, today's opening match is destined to become a classic of the S10 Spring Split regular season.

Not only in the first match, but in the next two matches, each side showcased their unique skills, with one side finishing and the other taking the stage, and it was a constant battle from beginning to end.

Even viewers who don't understand LoL can fully feel the brutality of these three matches from the commentators' extremely shocked remarks.

IG are the S8 world champions, so it's normal for them to have this level of skill.

But no one expected that Edg, who had never missed a World Championship, would soar to new heights and dominate the league after missing S9.

In particular, some viewers from overseas regions said after watching the opening match that S10 will still be the LPL version, and the LPL is the number one region in the world.

After winning the opening match against IG, the Edg team showed no signs of letting up.

Although they won the opening match, it also exposed the team's biggest hidden problem.

In esports, anything is possible.

A team cannot guarantee a championship simply by combining the abilities of all its members and surpassing the opponent's.

Everyone was putting in their best effort in training, not wanting to fall behind.

Even on the night of the opening match, the Edg training room was packed with people.

Abu diligently analyzed the mistakes made in today's game and the points that need attention in the future.

The players acknowledged their mistakes and brainstormed solutions to their tactical doubts and rhythm control issues.

Everything seems to be heading in the final direction.

"Phew, Season 10 is indeed the best version for junglers, it's even gotten to the point where a jungler can carry the team."

Currently, Li Luo is the only person in Edg Club who has a room all to himself.

After finishing a night of ranked weight training, Li Luo soaked his feet while looking at the news on his phone.

"The LCK has already updated Sett, that champion is such a nuisance, and the test server has also received the first wave of jungle buffs."

"It seems the designers really want LCK to win the championship this time."

The wheels of history, with their ever-changing rhythm and direction, have not been altered by a small Edg reorganization and their victory in the Demacia Cup.

Even in the eyes of Riot's designers, the ID "clearlove" was just the best of a bad bunch, a jungler who only rose to prominence because of his teammates.

"If things continue like this, MSI will probably be Riot's first test. If LCK fails to win the MSI championship or gets crushed by EDG, Riot will definitely realize their mistake and change their approach to strengthening their teams."

"It might even create a top lane meta like Season 8."

Li Luo had a bit of a headache.

It's not the kind of headache that's physically painful.

In Uzi's timeline, after winning two consecutive S-series championships, Riot Games went mad and lost its mind, randomly buffing players.

True balance and true fairness simply do not exist in the game League of Legends.

Might makes right, it makes right.

How can you possibly reason with God about fairness?
"It seems the only option is to better adapt to the current version and follow the meta. Sigh, the jungler role still has too many limitations."

"I finally understand what Xiangguo meant by 'When you're in the world of martial arts, you're not in control of your own destiny.'"

With a slight sigh, Li Luo also felt a little nostalgic for the past year or so of hard work in the Uzi universe.

As it turned out, Li Luo was right. With the Spring Split gods not back in their places and without the immense pressure of the Summer Split, Edg, with an uncontrollable and outrageous dominance, completely crushed all the teams in the LPL for a long time to come!
On the third day of the LPL competition, Edg took to the field again to face off against FPX, the S9 champions.

You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever.

At the start of the best-of-one series, facing FPX's relentless offensive lineup, Edg played a defensive, timid approach, steadily controlling the tempo. After 25 minutes, when FPX was at their lowest point, Edg forcefully forced a team fight, easily securing three kills in the top, mid, and jungle, and also taking down Baron Nashor.

At 31 minutes, FPX secured the fourth dragon, and with the buff from the Fire Dragon Soul, they could no longer withstand the onslaught, and their base was completely destroyed in one fell swoop.

In the second game, FPX tried to repeat their old strategy from S9, playing the same old mid-jungle-support roaming system. Unfortunately, before they could get the system going, Li Luo ganked bot lane while Liu Qingsong was wandering around, ganking Lwx twice and allowing Uzi to easily take over the game.

A complete and overwhelming victory!
On the fourth day, Edg faced Suning again, maintaining their form and once again achieving a terrifying shutout, dominating 2-0.

On the sixth day, the match against Es
After the first week of the regular season, Edg won all of their major matches.

In almost every game they won, Edg proved to everyone with their superior skill that they were not a team that won by luck.

This overwhelming and despair-inducing pressure inevitably reminded everyone of IG's Spring Split in S8.
That year, IG achieved an unprecedented 18-game winning streak in the Spring Split.

Under these circumstances, the second week of the regular season begins.

To everyone's disappointment, the team that could stop Edg did not appear!
Are they really invincible in the regular season?

Then the third week, and the fourth week.
With Edg's repeated crushing victories, countless fans are celebrating like it's New Year's Day, and tickets for every Edg match are guaranteed to sell out in advance.

Even the live stream's popularity is soaring, which is incredible.

Edg's momentum is growing, and RNG, which acquired JackeyLove, is also performing well. The two are ranked first and second in the regular season, showing a strong trend of reviving the original three teams.

More and more people started paying attention to Edg's matches, following the updates on Edg's game progress. Their initial reaction went from scoffing to shock, then disbelief, and finally, numbness.
Edg only took three months.

This is an even more terrifying team than IG back then. Every player, whether in the mid, top, jungle, or bot lane, seems impeccable.

Who can stop this Edg team?

With this question in mind, everyone watched as Edg's points increased and their winning streak numbers became more and more outrageous.

4 month 12 day.

From the Hongqiao Tiandi venue in winter to the Shanghai Zhengda Plaza as summer approaches.

All LPL fans witnessed once again the imminent completion of an undefeated myth.

Today is the eleventh week of the LPL Spring Split, and also the final week of the entire LPL Spring Split regular season.

With the Spring Split nearing its final stages and the playoffs just around the corner, this is the last chance for all teams to push for higher rankings.

However, Edg, as the leader in the standings, had already secured first place.

On this day, Ning, who had not played at all during the entire Spring Split, returned to the stage and perfectly coordinated with TheShy, dominating FPX in two consecutive games, making the IG fans, who had been in a slump all season, cheer with joy.

Similarly, after losing Xiye and Mystic, WE, following their rebuild, used their strength to defeat Blg, helping the team secure a playoff spot at the last minute. But today, none of these people are the protagonists on the field, because...
Edg is about to play their last game of the regular season.

They will face off against the same team that finished second in the regular season, and also the team whose fan groups are currently arguing the most—
Rng!

RNG also finished second in the regular season with only four losses.

Thanks to Ah Shui, their performance was even better than in S9!
Can Edg achieve their 19th consecutive win and surpass IG?

"The clash between the old and new royal families: Who will emerge victorious?"

"The Battle of Proof: Clearlove's Pre-Match Bold Statement: I'm Already Studying Our MSI Opponents!"

The battle for the Spring Split playoffs has begun early – who will become the new king of S10?

The match was scheduled for 4 PM, but by 2 PM, the ticket checkpoints and security gates at the Zhengda Stadium were already packed with a huge number of fans.

At this point, no one expects RNG to be able to defeat the current Edg team.

Almost all the fans came to watch whether Edg could secure their final 19-game winning streak.

Li Luo could only shrug in response.
"A 19-game winning streak isn't that hard!"

In Uzi's timeline, he has already tasted the feeling of a 19-game winning streak, and he personally broke the record of not winning a single LPL title for many years.

On that day, RNG crushed Top Esports with an overwhelming victory, securing their 19th consecutive win.

And today, it seems that his second 19-game winning streak is about to be achieved.

The current Chinese server version for competitive play has already implemented version 10.7, which was released on April 1st.

As expected, Riot Games has been feeding junglers like crazy for the past four or five patches.

From the renewed changes to jungle experience, to the reduction of Rift Herald's health, from minor adjustments to jungle champions, to buffs to most jungle champions.

In particular, Kindred received a significant buff in version 10.6, with increased attack damage growth and more healing from her W and R abilities.

Kayn has been buffed for three consecutive patches, and this patch further increases his energy gain speed, significantly reducing transformation time by as much as 15%.

Hecarim's ultimate ability has been directly adjusted and strengthened, with a full 0.5 seconds of fear duration.

Graves, who received the most buffs, still emerged victorious. His base magic resistance and scaling magic resistance were increased, and the cost of his Q skill no longer changed with level, while its cooldown was significantly reduced.

Originally ranked in T2 or T3, Graves has seen his jungle clearing speed skyrocket after multiple buffs, propelling him to T0 level.

That's not all; more than a dozen heroes who seem to have nothing to do with the jungle have had their jungle clearing speed increased.

League of Legends has completely become a jungler's league.

When two teams face off, the team with the stronger jungler will win.

In the online game, all you need to do is be an obedient tool. Just do whatever your "wild daddy" tells you to do, and you'll win without lifting a finger when the time comes.

Unfortunately, RNG's jungler Xiaolongbao is no match for RNG's current star players.

Of the four teammates present, not to mention Xiaohu and Ashui, Xiaoming and Langxing are also Xiaolongbao's seniors.

Throughout the match, Xiaolongbao basically became the housekeeper, being led around and ordered around by a few people.

In the first match, Edg secured a decisive victory before the 25-minute mark.

At this moment, even though the second match hasn't started yet, the outcome is still uncertain.

Including official accounts, all marketing accounts and influential figures started to create hype and celebrate Edg's 19-game winning streak in advance.

In the second game, Edg dominated the entire map in just fifteen minutes. When they secured their third dragon at nineteen minutes, everyone knew the game was in the bag.

The scene was deafening, with fans cheering wildly everywhere. Everyone who witnessed the match, including those from various competition zones, went absolutely crazy.

Is this really a 19-game winning streak?

Who would have thought that a team that couldn't even qualify for the World Championship last season would achieve a terrifying 19-game winning streak after simply changing two players?!
The 19-game winning streak in the regular season included 19 best-of-three series, all of which were won.

Another new record has been set in LPL history!

That night, the hashtag #Edg19thWinning Streak# trended at number one. Although it didn't reach the top spot, it was still a step forward given that the popularity of LoL has declined significantly.

All six players, including Xiye, have a constant stream of fans on their Weibo accounts, including fans who are fans of the champion. Even Flandre, who was previously questioned, has gained a lot of fans after gradually adapting to the competition.

The outside world was in an uproar. Edg's nineteen-game winning streak was quite different from IG's. As a veteran powerhouse, their sudden rise had revitalized many of their former fans who had quit the game. Suddenly, the entire internet was abuzz with discussions about Edg's journey to MSI.

The Edg players, however, managed to steal a moment from their busy schedules and enjoy a long-awaited feast before the playoffs began.

At the celebration banquet, watching these players who would never have been on the same team chatting happily and celebrating the passing of time, Li Luo felt a pang of emotion.

I still remember when he first achieved a 19-game winning streak with RNG, everyone had a barbecue feast together at the RNG base.

At that time, RNG set an unprecedented record.

Meanwhile, RNG went on to win the MSI championship and the S-series championship, achieving a back-to-back championship.

In Uzi's timeline, RNG is the only king.

In the Factory Manager's Timeline, no one is currently complacent about this so-called 19-game winning streak in the regular season.

After this week, the brutal playoffs will begin, at which point all teams will reveal their trump cards.

After the spring season's adjustments, those teams that will shine in the annals of history will eventually rise to prominence.

After dinner, everyone chatted and laughed all the way back to Edg's luxurious base, where they had another meal.

Abu also lifted the long-awaited ban on drinking alcohol.

Sitting in the tactics room, even though it was past 11 p.m., everyone was still holding bottles of alcohol, analyzing the details of today's game.

After Abu finished speaking, Zaozi took the stage, and after Zaozi finished speaking, Scout followed.
After everyone had finished speaking, they began a group discussion on how to optimize the tactics and how to create a unique Edg "flavor".

Esports, within the Edg club.

It's as if things have become pure again; everyone sitting here has only one goal—
S-Series Champion!
But before that, we still need to win the Spring Split playoffs!

Of course, Edg, who won first place in the regular season, doesn't have to struggle through several rounds in the playoffs like the teams at the bottom of the standings.

Edg is now sitting in the top four, waiting for newcomers to challenge them!

Edg only needs two best-of-five series to prove themselves.
I am the strongest team in the S10 LPL!
