Chapter 220: Stealing the Base Ends the Finals, LGD Lifts the Cup!

As soon as the taunt ended, the rat threw its Poison Barrel (W) at Kog'Maw and Lulu, slowing them down.

Given the current situation, it's clear that at least one of WE's bot lane duo will have to die.

Mystic and Ben were both quite decisive, immediately splitting up and running off in different directions.

Staying together will only lead to their mutual death.

Seeing that Da Zui was running towards the tower and Lulu was running towards the river, Zhou Dian and Imp decisively chased after Da Zui.

Without even thinking about it, if we can kill that big mouth, we'll kill that big mouth.

Soon, Big Mouth turned into a corpse that was jumping around on the ground.

First Blood!
WE's bot lane gave up first blood in two consecutive games, and both times it was secured by imp.

In the previous game, it was Eimy who assisted imp to get the first blood; in this game, it was Zhou Dian who assisted imp to get the first blood.

This indirectly shows that LGD performed better in terms of teamwork in this final.

At least that's been the case in the last two games.

The sound of the first blood notification in the game was accompanied by a huge cheer from LGD fans at the scene.

Meanwhile, the hearts of WE fans at the scene were beginning to sink.

The situation doesn't look good for WE!
Is this the end for 60E's dream of winning the championship?

In the commentary box.

Miller sincerely said, "I think the strongest thing about this LGD team right now is their adaptability! WE just took the first tower in the top lane, and LGD immediately killed Kog'Maw!"

"If you were to face LGD as your opponent, you would find it very difficult to gain anything from them. They can always make up for their losses elsewhere!"

"Yes!" Ji De nodded. "I guess this can be considered a kind of operational capability!"

"LGD not only has solid operational capabilities, but also powerful and imaginative gameplay!"

I still vividly remember the scene where the rat landed invisibly, carrying Shen's ultimate ability.

It's really cool and visually striking!
Not only did viewers in the live broadcast room marvel at the seamless teamwork between Zhou Dian and imp.

[Twitch stealthily uses his ultimate on Shen, Twitch brings Shen into the fray, wow, LGD has something special!]

[Holy crap, isn't this a spirit fusion skill?!]

[A Martial Soul Fusion Skill, haha, how apt! That description is quite fitting!]

How many copies of Douluo Continent did he read in one sitting? He's spouting off about Martial Soul Fusion Techniques all the time!

When will Zhou Shen play Zyra top lane? Give us a Blue Silver Root!

Resurrect, my love!

【.】

Back to the game.

As the rat reaches level six and gains its ultimate ability, its counter to Kog'Maw becomes apparent.

When Kog'Maw activates Biotic Barrage (W), his attack range increases significantly.

The fully upgraded Biohazard Barrage (W) has a range of 710 yards when activated.

However, once the rat uses its ultimate, it has a range of 850 yards, posing a huge threat to Kog'Maw in team fights.

The next ten minutes or so.

WE utilized Renekton's powerful fighting ability and Ryze's ultimate ability's mobility, with the top, mid, and jungle often acting together, which indeed accomplished some things and gained some advantages.

However, their advantage wasn't significant enough to defeat LGD.

Several waves of attacks were promptly neutralized by Shen's ultimate ability.

Compassionate salvation for departed souls is truly effective!

Moreover, as mentioned earlier, LGD always manages to make up for its losses in other areas after each defeat.

WE's exceptional resilience also prevented them from continuously expanding their advantage.

As the game progressed into the late stages, LGD gradually began to turn the tide.

Because the heroes Crocodile and Spider have become increasingly useless.

WE originally had Ryze and Kog'Maw, who had decent late-game damage output.

However, the attack range of both heroes is not long enough.

imp played very boldly in this game, repeatedly using his mouse to sneak up behind WE's carry.

With Shen's ultimate ability available, Imp doesn't need to worry about being separated from his teammates.

No matter how he plays, Shen can always follow up with his ultimate immediately.

Or they could unleash their ultimate move in advance, followed by a wave of "Soul Fusion Skills".

In a team fight at the 33-minute mark, with the help of Shen's ultimate, Karma's RE, and Graves' ultimate, imp's Twitch burst out from the WE crowd from the side and severely damaged Kog'Maw with three shots.

At the same time, Graves' ultimate ability turned Kog'Maw into a bouncing corpse.

At this point in the game, with Kog'Maw dead, WE's team naturally suffered a crushing defeat.

LGD pushed down WE's mid-lane inhibitor and then took the Baron.

Just over 37 minutes into the game, when LGD's Baron buff expired, WE's two lanes of high ground were destroyed by LGD in a few quick moves.

At this point, WE's three high ground towers had all been breached, creating a situation that was beyond saving.

The WE fans at the scene were all silent.

Meanwhile, LGD fans at the scene began to create a continuous uproar.

With the championship within reach, all the players on the LGD team were getting excited and were itching to charge at WE's twin inhibitor towers.

At this moment, PYL, as the team leader, still maintained a rare composure.

PYL kept calling out in the team voice chat, and finally managed to get all his teammates to listen.

LGD players collectively retreated from WE's high ground, preparing to return to base to replenish supplies before launching another attack to destroy WE's base.

"Wow, LGD is so steady!" Miller exclaimed. "To be honest, it's really impressive that they managed to hold their ground and not force an all-in at this point!"

On the large screen at the scene.

LGD's five players replenished their health and mana, upgraded their equipment, and charged out of the fountain together.

It was at this moment that the LGD fans in the audience chanted "L~G~D~" in unison.

As LGD's five heroes approached WE's three breached high ground, the chant of "L~G~D~" grew louder and louder.

More and more neutral spectators began to join in chanting slogans.

With three lanes of minions and six super minions wielding giant hammers, WE was simply unable to stop them.

After the left side of the tower was destroyed, WE launched a desperate last stand.

After using all their skills to kill the rat who had no Flash, WE managed to trade two for three.

WE really profited from this team fight.

However, the super minions are already hammering WE's base crystal.

After finally clearing out all the super minions, WE's base crystal had been reduced to less than half its health by the super minions.

A little over a minute later, imp's Twitch stealthily arrived at WE's high ground, and then used Flash to directly climb onto WE's high ground.

Furthermore, the mouse's Q skill is still active, and he remains in stealth mode.

"Backdoor! Backdoor! Twitch and Shen, straight for WE's base crystal!" Remember shouted. From God's perspective, Twitch, who had just reached WE's high ground, was glowing with a purple light.

In front of the exposed red base crystal, there are two true sight wards, one on the left and one on the right. If the rat gets too close, it will definitely be detected by the true sight wards.

Three seconds later, Shen's ultimate ability landed.

However, at the same time, Shen and the rat were both exposed to the True Sight's field of vision.

All five WE players were on the high ground and dared not go out.

Upon seeing the rat and Shen, it immediately pounced on them.

A flash of yellow light appeared, and Zhou Dian decisively used Flash.

Moreover, Shen used E plus Flash to dash twice, directly arriving in front of WE's base crystal.

The rat was on the high ground of Flash, but Flash was no longer available.

Although he was still some distance from WE's base crystal, imp immediately unleashed his ultimate and fired a barrage of bullets at WE's base crystal.

Without the inhibitor tower, WE would have no chance against Shen and Twitch sneaking up their base.

Shen attacked twice, and Twitch attacked three times. WE's base crystal, which was already at less than half health, was quickly depleted.

On the large screen at the scene.

The game screen freezes at this moment.

The red team's base crystal slowly shattered.

The cheers and screams from the LGD fans in the audience reached their peak at this moment.

"Let's congratulate LGD on defeating WE 3-1 and winning the 2017 LPL Spring Split Championship!" Remember shouted at the top of his lungs.

Congratulations to LGD!

Congratulations to LGD!

Miller and Rita chimed in.

In the live broadcast room, the screen has switched to an overhead view of the main stage, with a huge champion trophy projected onto the main stage.

The live stream chat was flooded with messages of "Congratulations LGD".

"After nearly two years, LGD has once again won the LPL championship since the 2015 LPL Summer Split!"

"LGD has become the second LPL team, after EDG, to win the LPL championship more than once!"

"Congratulations again to LGD!" Remember said loudly.

"Well deserved!" Miller added, "In this final match, LGD performed exceptionally well in terms of strategy, mid-to-late game execution, and even individual player performance!"

"After winning the Summer Split championship in 15, LGD experienced a painful journey to the S5 World Championship, followed by two terrible seasons in 16. Just when almost everyone thought that LGD would sink into oblivion, LGD once again demonstrated its strong vitality!"

"LGD was able to win the LPL championship again not only because several veteran players regained their former form, but I think the most important factor was Zhou Shen's joining the team this spring!"

“Yes!” Ji De nodded. “When LGD officially announced Zhou Shen’s joining three months ago, I remember it didn’t cause any stir.”

"But no one expected that this rookie top laner would lead LGD back to the top of the LPL!"

As the commentators expressed their feelings, the camera switched to the LGD players' seats.

The five LGD players have already stood up from their seats.

After standing up, PYL picked up the water glass on the table and took a big gulp to calm his excited mood.

PYL has been trembling ever since WE's base crystal exploded.

As the most senior player in the LGD team and the captain who has experienced all the highs and lows with the team, PYL's emotions are too intense and complex right now, to the point that he can't control his body at all.

Following instructions from the on-site staff, the five LGD players walked to the other side of the stage, towards the WE players' seating area, to shake hands with the WE players after the match.

When Zhou Dian, who was leading the way, walked behind Xi Ye, Xi Ye was still sitting in his chair, staring at the post-match results panel of the fourth game on the screen in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.

As a veteran who joined WE in Season 3, Xiye must be the most heartbroken member of the WE team after losing this LPL final.

Feeling someone tap her on the shoulder, Xi Ye quickly stood up from her seat and gave Zhou Dian a slightly apologetic look.

After shaking hands, the five members of LGD walked to the center of the main stage.

In the center of the main stage, on a cylindrical platform that reaches chest height, sits a silver-white trophy.

It is the Silver Dragon Cup, the trophy that symbolizes the LPL championship.

Numerous bright lights shone down from above the competition venue, illuminating the trophy.

The reflection is slightly dazzling.

Zhou Dian and his four teammates stood around the trophy, none of them making a move.

No one reached out to touch the trophy first.

After a few seconds of frozen silence, his teammates all turned their attention to Zhou Dian.

The meaning is self-evident.

Zhou Dian understood what his teammates meant, and he deserved the honor of being the first to clink glasses.

Although League of Legends is a team game, and no one can fight five opponents at once, winning a match requires the efforts of everyone.

Moreover, Zhou Dian's teammates performed quite well in this final, and each had their own commendable aspects.

But looking at all four games of the final, Zhou Dian was undoubtedly the one who performed the best.

Aside from today's final, Zhou Dian was also the most carry player in the LGD team throughout the entire Spring Split.

Seeing his teammates' eyes all turning towards him, Zhou Dian no longer hesitated, stretched out his hands, and grasped the base of the trophy.

The LPL championship trophy isn't particularly large, and three of them aren't too heavy either.

Zhou Dian easily picked up the trophy from the table in front of him.

Then, the other LGD members also reached out their hands, either shaking or touching the trophy.

"Zhou, Eimy, GodV, imp, PYL." Miller called out the IDs of all five LGD players.

"Raise the trophy! Lift the championship trophy that belongs to you!"

As wisps of white vapor appeared around the main stage, the five members of LGD worked together to lift the silver-white LPL championship trophy above their heads.

The atmosphere reached its peak the moment the trophy was raised.

"Congratulations LGD!" the three commentators shouted in unison.

The 17 LPL Spring Split championship belongs to the LGD team, and also to all the team members and staff.

Colorful ribbons rained down from above, and lights of various colors flashed overhead, making Zhou Dian's eyes a little blurry.

After holding the trophy up for a few seconds, Zhou Dian and his teammates reluctantly put it down.

The feeling of lifting the championship trophy was truly wonderful; Zhou Dian was almost reluctant to put it down.

But we can't just stand there like an idiot and keep it on our heads all the time!

In Zhou Dian's view, everything is very good, very good!
The only slight drawback was that during the trophy-lifting ceremony, instead of fireworks, the main stage was illuminated with bursts of light, which diminished the enchanting and mesmerizing feeling.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

The venue for this final, the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center, is a fully enclosed indoor stadium.

Since it's indoors, it's naturally impossible to set off fireworks.

All we can do is spray dry ice to create some air columns and set the mood.

If the match is held in a stadium with a football field, and the large lawn in the center of the stadium faces the sky, then fireworks can be set off freely.
