Chapter 314 The first LPL team to win the promotion/relegation match!
"Actually, when talking about the DAN team and their head coach, there's one thing we have to mention!"

He adjusted his glasses and continued, "That's since the secondary league LSPL was established."

"DAN, led by White Crescent, is the first team to be promoted to the LPL secondary league through the promotion/relegation matches!"

Today's promotion/relegation matches are the last matches of the LPL Spring Split regular season.

In the final round of the promotion/relegation tournament, DAN defeated VG, directly relegating VG to LSPL.

DAN became the first secondary league team to be promoted to the LPL through the promotion/relegation tournament.

The promotion rule for the secondary league LSPL is that the league champion is directly promoted to LPL.

Then the runner-up and third-place finisher will participate in the promotion/relegation matches.

They will compete with the bottom-ranked teams in the LPL for one of the two spots to stay in the LPL or be promoted to the LPL.

In the past, only the LSPL champion was promoted to LPL through a direct promotion spot each season.

The other two LSPL teams are participating in the promotion/relegation matches.

No team has ever won a best-of-five (BO5) match in a promotion/relegation tournament to advance to the top league.

Even if their opponents are just the bottom-ranked teams in the LPL.

But they still couldn't win.

The gap between the top league and the second-tier league is indeed enormous.

However, this year's Spring Split promotion/relegation matches.

DAN defeated VG.

This is the first time an LSPL team has won a promotion/relegation match.

That can be considered making history.

I remember that after introducing the glorious achievements of the DAN team.

On the big screen at the venue, both sides had already completed the first round of bans.

Then, DAN from the blue team directly selected Kalista on the first floor.

Seeing this, Remember said, "Oh, DAN directly first-picked Kalista here, the bot lane is going to go head-to-head with LGD!"

Then, LGD secured Kha'Zix and Varus on the first and second floors of the red side.

"Then imp also pulled out Varus to lane against Kalista!" PDD said, "If you want to go for it, then go for it. I'm a Grand Slam champion, I'm not afraid!"

After winning this year's MSI championship, imp became the second AD carry player, after Bang, to achieve a Grand Slam.

Next, DAN chose Barrel and Taliyah on the second and third floors of the blue side.

"DAN picked Gragas, and Gragas is a very flexible champion; he can play top lane, jungle, and support!" Remember said.

"But support is probably out of the question this game. I'll probably just have to switch between top lane and jungle!" PDD added. "Coach White Crescent really likes to switch positions!"

"Then the third floor picked Taliyah, first picking a mid-lane champion with strong tempo control."

"Taliyah is considered one of Ggoong's signature champions, and Wei Shen also plays her very well, sometimes even picking her instead of banning her!"

It was LGD's turn to pick their last hero in the first round of ban/pick.

On camera, you can see Wei Shen communicating with Dgc.

There seems to be a slight disagreement.

The red team's third floor has yet to reveal their hero.

Finally, just as the countdown to the selection was about to end.

LGD picked LeBlanc on the third floor of the red side and locked it in.

"LGD's third pick, let's see LeBlanc!" I was a little surprised.

"Wei Shen rarely plays champions like LeBlanc these days. Looks like he wants to show off today!"

Behind Wei Shen, Dgc shrugged slightly. Judging from his body language, he seemed a little helpless.

It seems he didn't want to give LeBlanc to Wei Shen, but Wei Shen insisted on playing LeBlanc himself.

Is it better to listen to the coach or for the player to stick to their own choice?

There has always been disagreement on this issue.

However, there is no single correct answer as to which of the two viewpoints is right.

It can only be results-oriented.

Whoever wins is better.

We've moved on to the second round of draft picks.

LGD banned Jarvan IV and Elise.

DAN banned Fiora and Camille.

"LGD banned Elise, it seems they still think Gragas might go top lane!"

"As for DAN's two bans, there's not much to say, they're classic bans against LGD!" Remember said.

In the second round of player selection, the red team selects first.

LGD picked Luo directly on the fourth floor of the red team.

This new support hero, released at the end of April this year, has an extremely strong ability to initiate attacks.

PYL believed he had mastered Rakan to a high level, enough to play in matches, so he immediately picked him out.

Then, DAN chose Rek'Sai and Braum on the fourth and fifth floors of the blue team.

"Oh, excavators and Bloom!"

"The jungler and support have both built their items, so Gragas will be playing top lane this game!"

After a pause, he continued, "Let me tell you all, the LPL matches are currently using version 7.11, and in version 7.11, the champion Rek'Sai's skills have undergone significant changes!"

"The most important change is that the ultimate skill is no longer a global teleportation, but has been changed into a damage skill!"

“That’s right!” PDD nodded. “In the past, excavators were mostly built with tank items and acted as tanks, but now they’re basically semi-tanky warriors.”

"I've even seen excavators with full damage output; the damage they deal is ridiculously high!"

"Now we'll see what Zhou Shen will pick for his last move—the one that hits the barrel!" Remember said.

As soon as he finished speaking, LGD revealed Kennen on the fifth floor of the red side and then locked him in.

"Kennen! Is Zhou Shen going to start torturing melee champions with long-range champions again?" PDD exclaimed. "It's most likely AD Kennen. AP Kennen isn't very good at pressuring Gragas. Gragas is actually quite annoying in lane, he can heal too much!"

With both sides having finished selecting their characters, the game entered its final minute countdown before loading.

In the LGD player seat.

PYL had just finished selecting his team on the fifth floor when Dgc impatiently closed his laptop, took off his headphones, and without giving any pre-match instructions, walked straight to the center of the stage.

On the other side, White Crescent was calmly giving his players some final instructions before the match.

It wasn't until the referee started urging him to leave that he took off his headphones and walked to the center of the main stage.

By this time, Dgc had already reached his position.

Standing at a distance, watching the white crescent moon gradually approach him, Dgc smiled broadly.

Being able to shake hands with old friends on the LPL stage as head coaches made Dgc feel very happy, even a little unreal.

On the large screen below, the game had already entered the loading screen.

Blue team DAN: Top lane Gragas, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid lane Taliyah, Bot lane Kalista and Braum.

Red side LGD: Top lane Kennen, Jungle Kha'Zix, Mid lane LeBlanc, Bot lane Varus and Garen.
