Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 386 Confirming the Championship! Shocking Revelation!
"It's over! The match is over! The match was over the moment the Tsar fell!"

"Edg!! They have once again reclaimed their former glory. The same team, but different players. Uzi has won the championship again, proving that he is still as good as ever. Clearlove has returned to the field after half a year. Veterans never die!"

"This was an incredibly strong best-of-five series that deserves to be recorded in Edg's history. They won the game through sheer individual skill and teamwork. No words can adequately describe their dominance throughout this entire series."

"Similarly, Edg has also secured a ticket to the most important international tournament of the first half of this year—the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). They will represent our LPL region at MSI, continuing to compete on the international stage and creating their own miracles and honors!"

Congratulations Edg!

After the game footage froze, the audience began to celebrate wildly. Wawa's voice only added fuel to the fire, causing the audience to cheer uncontrollably.

The Edg players also stood up excitedly, hugging each other in celebration. However, thanks to a lot of mental preparation and the fact that they are all veterans, they were able to maintain a composed expression.

Before the director could give any more footage of the celebration in the soundproof room, the crew left.

Zaozi Ge had already taken the lead, setting up his stance and pushing open the door to walk into the soundproof room of JD.com.

He's going to shake hands! At the same time, he's going to give those hypocrites and scoundrels who act one way on the field and another way afterward a good slap in the face.

The camera panned across Zaozi Ge's confident and arrogant face, then across Li Luo's calm and collected demeanor. The director couldn't resist giving the two of them a close-up, and the screams from the audience immediately rose several degrees!
Seeing this, Wawa continued in a high-spirited tone, "Uzi and Clearlove, two IDs that shouldn't exist, appearing on the same team. I initially thought this team had a high floor and a low ceiling, but now, I'm clearly wrong! This powerful combination has completely surpassed other teams, making Edg the undisputed leader of the LPL."

"No. 1!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Edg!!!!"

"The factory manager is awesome! Even pigs and dogs are awesome!"

"666, I can't wait to shake hands and prove them wrong, I think this move is a good one."

Upon seeing this, various live streaming rooms were already abuzz with congratulations to Edg and a barrage of mockery of JD.com.

The sheer volume of attention it generated was astonishing, even to those who were somewhat prepared.

"They've been too strong this spring season. Edg has never given me any reason to worry about their performance. The floor they can reach is already terrifying, let alone what it's like to push them to their limits!"

"I'm wondering how the teams from other regions who qualified first and have already secured their spots in this year's MSI championship view this competition."

The child's voice was impassioned, filled with pride and joy:

"They're facing off again! Edg and Skt, these two teams are like a cycle, meeting again. I can still remember the scene from S5 when Edg and Skt went 3-2, it was absolutely terrifying."

"Yes, Skt, this time we're advancing to MSI with a 3-0 victory! Now, let's cheer for the winners!"

As Miller finished speaking, the Edg team arrived at the soundproof room of JD Gaming, waiting for the referee to confirm that everything was correct before entering the arena to shake hands.

Through the glass, Li Luo could clearly see that the five people sitting in the soundproof room at JD.com all had very unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Especially Loken, the green-haired guy, and Toothpaste, who had been spouting arrogant words, were now ashen-faced, completely bewildered as to how they had lost the match so easily.

But at this moment, looking at the scarlet words of defeat in front of him, and then at the Edg team members who were waiting at the door, their excitement almost overflowing.

they
Can only
I chose to swallow this bitter water.

Without a championship, all those previous boasts and provocations are like clowns, dragged out and whipped repeatedly as background figures.

In the spring finals for the second consecutive year, they were defeated 3-0.

Especially since before the match, some people mocked Zaozi's performance, saying that he was already weak and that Toothpaste Zoom was trying to shift the blame to Zaozi. Now, these things are like a slap in the face to each of them.

If they could, they really wanted to just leave and skip the handshake, preserving their dignity to the very end.

However.
The door is open!
As Zaozi walked in, an uncontrollable smile spread across his face, a smile that carried a hint of exhilaration and a touch of provocation.

It's as if it's saying, "Huh? Weren't you supposed to be very stubborn? Is that all? Is that all?"

The first person to stand up and shake hands was the one with green hair.

Zaozi's gaze bypassed Green Hair and went straight to Loken, one of the Koreans on the JD Gaming team.

Green Hair's expression softened for a moment, but the next second, Jujube Brother's words pierced his heart like a knife:
"Green Hair, you two fought really well, keep it up, the future belongs to you!"

A simple sentence, devoid of any sarcasm and filled with blessings, but to Green Hair's ears, it took on a different meaning:
"You two are still noobs, so stop talking nonsense and just wait until I retire."

Loken, standing to the side, didn't understand the meaning behind the words and thought it was a compliment to the two of them. He gave an embarrassed chuckle, which made Green Hair feel even more hopeless.

Zaozi continued walking and came to the toothpaste. This time, Zaozi didn't say a word and didn't even look at the toothpaste.

The difference lies in the matchup; defeating JDG is a team effort, while defeating the bot lane is a testament to his individual skill.

Brother Zaozi knows his place well, so his silence is to leave room for those who come after him.
Li Luo!

The group continued moving forward. Li Luo walked up to the toothpaste tube and confidently said:

"Toothpaste, you think you can win the championship by relying on a newcomer? That's a bit outrageous, hahaha. Good luck!"

Upon hearing Li Luo's words, Toothpaste blushed deeply and didn't know what to say.

It was at this moment that he suddenly understood what these strong teams were thinking when they went to the World Championship, lost the game, and sat in their chairs waiting for others to shake their hands.

How dare those who are going up the mountain mock the gods who are coming down?

Perhaps JD.com introduced the wrong team culture from the very beginning, leading to everyone becoming arrogant and complacent, and lacking ambition.

"We see that .jdg and .zoom are in pain, all of them are in pain. This is the second time they have stood on the stage of the Spring Finals, and the second time they have been swept 0-3. These players may also want to win the Spring Split championship in their professional careers, but they have encountered this unprecedentedly strong and ridiculously strong Edg. I hope that JDG can reflect on their mistakes after the game. The season is still long, the World Championship has not yet started, and anything is possible!"

Before he could finish speaking, some of the fans in the audience had already started clapping.

The fans, seeing their team secure victory, naturally didn't hold back their applause.

"Let's give a round of applause to the JDG team, thank them for the three games they gave us," Miller said, and the applause grew even louder.

Some die-hard JD.com fans at the scene had already started to leave, too ashamed to continue watching the game.

The next moment, after everyone finished shaking hands, the applause in the venue stopped, and was replaced by shouts of "Edg!"
"Edg!! Congratulations!! You've won the 2020 LPL Spring Split Championship! They displayed unparalleled strength throughout the year, winning every game in the Spring Split and remaining undefeated in the playoffs, maintaining their invincible record and heading to MSI! This is a super team that is flawless in both team coordination and individual skill, now!!"

"They're going to... clink glasses!!"

Nobody remembers the losers, not even the director!
The camera panned across the JDG players before focusing entirely on the Edg team. The five Edg members stood in the center of the stage, surrounding the magnificent Spring Finals trophy, and placed their hands on it, shouting out—
"us!!"

"They're the champions!!!"

Bang!
Bang bang bang! !

The 2020 Spring Finals trophy was held high, shining brightly in the night sky, while the golden rain falling from the stage added to the victor's pride and ambition!

"Edg wins the championship!!!"

"Edg!!!!"

The fans in the audience screamed and cheered wildly.

Five veteran contestants, no longer teenagers, stood in the golden rain on the stage, filled with emotion!

"They're back! I can feel it, that feeling, that unstoppable spirit is back!! After two years, Clearlove, Uzi, they're back. In the new season, they're back in action, they're back on the stage, unstoppable, determined to prove themselves with their strength!! They're the strongest team right now."

"At the same time, they are also roaring silently!! Undefeated in the Spring Split, undefeated in major matches, undefeated in the playoffs, they are writing their own legend! Creating another history for the LPL!"

"Right now, they are the face of the LPL region, representing the LPL region as it prepares to compete in MSI!"

I remember the camera switched after the teacher finished speaking.

The wedding emcee, a seasoned professional, quickly stepped forward to take charge.

During the break in the game, Liu Hang changed into a festive red suit.

Today's victory not only represents the LPL league championship, but also serves as a send-off ceremony for MSI.

Facing the enthusiastic cheering audience, Liu Hang shouted loudly: "The winner of the 2020 S10 LPL Spring Championship Finals is—"

The audience immediately chanted "Edg!"
Liu Hang posted again: "So who is the MSI champion?!"

"Edg!!!"

Although Liu Hang had a strong wedding emcee vibe, he effortlessly guided the audience's emotions towards the departure ceremony.

Tens of thousands of spectators stood up, and the camera focused on the five Edg members standing in front, which immediately caused screams.

Liu Hang walked over to the five Edg players and said, "Okay, let's congratulate Edg again on winning the Spring Split championship!"

"A very exciting moment. As always, the warriors will not stop their advance and will make a run for the 2020 MSI Invitational!"

"Let's welcome the President of Tencent Interactive Entertainment, the LPL Asia Regional Director, and the Project Manager to present the championship honor to Edg."

As soon as he finished speaking, another group of people walked by, leading the emcee up to present the awards.

Li Luo had gone through these familiar procedures countless times. After greeting everyone with a smile, he finally got through the long award ceremony and departure ceremony.

This time, the MVP interview was given to the bot lane duo of Zaozi and Meikou, and Li Luo was happy to take a break and let the two of them have the opportunity.

Backstage, I opened the door to the lounge, which was already filled with familiar friends.

Even Xiangguo sat nervously on the sofa, staring intently at the screen in the lounge.

"How was the game today? Pretty good, huh? It's a shame we're going to Iceland in a couple of days, otherwise we could have taken some time to visit."

Taking off her coat, Li Luo picked up the green tea that Abu had brewed, took a delicious sip, and said with relish.

So far in the competition, only matches against teams from other regions have been able to capture his attention.

Facing these veteran domestic players, there is actually not much pressure anymore.

In the Spring Split, all the teams had only just begun to gel and develop their fighting strength; it wasn't yet time for the fierce competition of the Summer Split.

Teams like Suning, known for their brilliance, and Top Esports, known for their unstoppable momentum, actually had very average performances in this Spring Split.

"You're something else, but don't get too cocky. The World Championship hasn't even started yet, and you're already getting arrogant?"

Abu came over with a laugh and punched him on the shoulder.

"Look at Xiangguo, he's so nervous. It's been such a long time since he's competed, and you're the only one who can maintain this kind of mentality. That's impressive."

Xiangguo, standing to the side, changed his expression upon hearing Abu's teasing, revealing his extreme nervousness.

On the screen in the lounge, Zaozi Ge was already on the interview stage, talking eloquently to the camera.

However, everyone knew that this interview was just a routine procedure, and that the shocking moment that was about to unfold was yet to come.

Just as the host finished asking three questions and was about to end the session, Brother Zaozi spoke up:
"Well, after the Spring Split, we also have some good news to share with everyone!"

"Oh, what's the good news?" Aunt Yu Shuang, who was conducting the interview, looked at the camera with curiosity in her eyes.

This is an unexpected event that is not easy to happen during an interview, but it is also a time to test a host's skills.

However, Yu Shuang underestimated her own mental resilience.

"Starting from the first of next month, Spicy Pot will submit his comeback application to the league. In the new season, Spicy Pot will join Edg as Clearlove's substitute and fight together in the remaining matches of S10. Please pay attention to Edg. At MSI, you may be able to see Spicy Pot perform on stage!"

boom!
Wow!
As soon as Brother Zaozi finished speaking, Aunt Yu Shuang's mouth was already agape in an "O" shape.

The audience below erupted with a fervor no less intense than when they won the championship.

It sounded like the buzzing of ten thousand birds, or like a hundred flowers blooming.

The screams and cheers had long since drowned out the background noise.

The chat in the live stream, which was originally filled with congratulations to Edg, suddenly turned into lines of question marks!
what?
Is Mala Xiang Guo (Spicy Stir-Fry) making a comeback?

He's making his comeback at Edg!

Let's conquer S10 together?
