Chapter 398: Undefeated Summer Tournament Championship Winner!
After LGD destroyed RNG's mid-lane inhibitor, they recalled to base and headed straight for Baron Nashor.

Everyone had quite a bit of money on them just now.

When they went out again, apart from the support Alistar, the other four players were only half an item away from having full gear.

Zhou Dian's big tree also made an adaptive helmet.

This item is quite effective against champions like Kog'Maw and Cassiopeia.

RNG couldn't take the torment any longer and, not wanting to wait for their demise, grouped up and headed straight for Baron Nashor.

LGD didn't attack Baron; several of them were on the Baron pit, waiting for RNG to come and provide vision.

Seeing the RNG players grouping up and coming towards them, Alistar and Maokai immediately activated Righteous Glory and accelerated forward.

All five RNG players' Flash abilities were forced out in the last team fight.

At this moment, Alistar and Treant Protector casually initiated a team fight.

With a 15,000 gold deficit and LGD taking the initiative, RNG's team fight crumbled at the first touch.

Cassiopeia and Tahm Kench were quickly killed.

LGD's five players chased all the way to the inhibitor turret and killed the big bug.

At this point, there were no further obstacles.

At 36 minutes and 40 seconds into the game, RNG's base crystal shattered into pieces.

In the commentary box.

"Demolish the base! Demolish the base! Got it! LGD won!" Miller had been shouting non-stop since the team fight started with Alistar and Treant Protector, and his voice was already a little hoarse.

"Let's congratulate LGD team~" Wawa drawled, "They defeated RNG with a clean 3-0 victory and won the 2017 LPL Summer Split championship!"

"Moreover, they won the championship with a perfect record throughout the entire summer season, without losing a single game!"

The cheers from LGD fans at the scene reached their peak at this moment.

The RNG base exploded, and the director immediately switched the camera to the players' seats.

Zhou Dian ripped off his headphones, resisting the urge to smash them, and threw them onto the table instead.

Then he picked up the water glass, tilted his head back, and drank the water in the glass in one gulp.

To be honest, winning the Summer Split with a perfect record and taking another step closer to the Grand Slam of the year is still very exciting and joyful.

Zhou Dian pressed on the armrest of the seat and got up from his seat.

As soon as he stood up, he saw Eimy on his left suddenly pounce on him and hug him tightly.

Next came Wei Shen, then imp and PYL, the three of them following closely behind Eimy and rushing forward as well.

The five players excitedly huddled together, celebrating their undefeated summer championship.

The live stream camera lingered on the LGD players celebrating for a short while before...

The director then switched the camera to the RNG players' bench.

Uzi was the first one to receive the prize.

Uzi had taken off his headphones and picked up a tissue from the table to wipe the sweat from his head and face.

Uzi's complexion had returned to normal by now, unlike the flushed face he had during the match.

The other four RNG members sat blankly in their chairs, their expressions varied, but all revealed a hint of resentment and confusion.

What's frustrating is that after working hard throughout the summer season, they ultimately fell short on the final stage.

It's often said that in competitive sports, the runner-up is the biggest loser.

Naturally, the runner-up was the one who was most unwilling to accept defeat.

What's perplexing is that they were easily swept 3-0 by LGD in the finals.

Damn, is there really such a big gap between them and LGD?

Backstage at the Wukesong Arena, in the locker rooms of the two teams, there were two completely different situations.

The RNG break room was silent; no one spoke.

The only sound was coming from the closed-circuit television hanging on the wall.

RNG's head coach Feng Ge and his coaching team, as well as RNG's substitute players and staff, all had expressions on their faces similar to those of the RNG players on the field, filled with resentment and confusion.

Being swept aside in the championship battle is indeed hard to accept.

In contrast, the atmosphere in LGD's lounge was jubilant, with excited noises constantly emanating from it, and someone even tossed a paper cup that had been filled with water onto the table.

On the main stage, the LGD players briefly hugged and celebrated.

Team captain PYL walked at the front, followed by his teammates, as they headed towards the RNG players' bench.

The two players shook hands after the match.

Nearly a minute had passed since the match ended, and the expressions on the faces of the RNG players had become relatively calm.

Mlxg was even smiling throughout the handshake.

But after shaking hands and turning around, the smile turned into a bitter one, and then he shook his head.

After shaking hands and exchanging greetings, the five LGD players walked past numerous photographers carrying their long lenses and tripods on the stage, following the established procedure from yesterday's pre-match rehearsal, and headed towards the center of the main stage.

There, sits the LPL league championship trophy – the Silver Dragon Cup!

In the commentary booth, two veteran LPL commentators, Wawa and Miller, were still talking non-stop.

"This championship was not easy for them!" Miller remarked.

“Yes!” Wawa nodded. “Even though LGD is the LPL Spring Split champion this year, and the MSI Mid-Season Invitational champion.”

"You should know that the previous two MSI Mid-Season Invitational champions, EDG and SKT, did not win the summer split of the league that year, and they did not even make it to the finals, both stopping at the semifinals!"

“That’s absolutely right!” Miller added. “With version changes and opponents constantly studying the game, winning championships consistently is extremely difficult!”

"Therefore, it is truly remarkable that LGD was able to win the Summer Split this year with a perfect record!"

At this point, Miller changed the subject, "But I think we should also give applause to RNG, this team's performance throughout the playoffs was outstanding!"

"I think the curse of the uncrowned still exists for puppies!"

"However, there is still a chance for him this year, because he will be the second seed from the LPL region in the S7 World Championship."

Although RNG lost the finals, they didn't even make it to the top four in this year's summer split because WE was the runner-up in the spring split.

Therefore, RNG became the team with the highest points in the LPL region throughout the year, second only to LGD, and qualified for the S7 World Championship as the LPL's second seed.

"And LGD will represent the LPL region as the number one seed for S7 in this World Championship!" Wawa shouted.

As the commentator spoke, the five LGD players walked to the center of the stage.

On a chest-high rectangular platform in the center of the stage, a silver-white trophy was placed.

Flashes of light shone down from above, illuminating the trophy.

The reflection is a bit dazzling!
The group stood around the trophy, but no one moved, no one reached out to take it. After a few seconds of this stiff silence, the teammates all turned their gazes to Zhou Dian, the meaning of which was obvious.

It's somewhat similar to when we won the Spring Split championship.

Zhou Dian certainly deserves the honor of being the first to touch the trophy.

Although League of Legends is a team game, one person cannot defeat five, and victory depends on the efforts of everyone.

In this final, Zhou Dian's teammates also performed admirably.

But looking at all three games, Zhou Dian was undoubtedly the best performer.

Aside from today's final match, throughout the Summer Split, although Zhou Dian's carry potential wasn't as high as in the Spring Split due to version changes.

But he is also the most carry player in the LGD team.

Seeing his teammates' eyes all turning towards him, Zhou Dian did not hesitate, stretched out his hands, and grasped the base of the Silver Dragon Cup.

The LPL championship trophy isn't very big, and naturally it's not heavy either. Zhou Dian easily lifted the trophy off the table in front of him.

Then, his teammates reached out and either shook or touched the trophy.

As puffs of white steam billowed from the main stage, the five people worked together to lift the silver-white LPL championship trophy above their heads.

The atmosphere reached its peak when the glasses were raised.

The 17 LPL Summer Split championship belongs to LGD team, and to Zhou Dian and his teammates.

The various lights on the main stage flashed wildly, making Zhou Dian, who was in the center, a little dizzy.

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.

Zhou Dian couldn't help but think of this year's S7 World Championship.

This World Championship is being held on home soil, with the finals taking place at the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing.

Will he have the chance to lift the Summoner's Cup, representing the highest honor in League of Legends, at the Bird's Nest stadium?
Hopefully, we can lift the championship trophy again this November!

Zhou Dian shook his head, banishing these distracting thoughts from his mind.

Regardless of the final outcome of the World Championship, at least for today, they have become the 2017 LPL Summer Split champions.

Enjoy the moment!

In the commentary box.

Wawa exclaimed loudly, "In that case, let's congratulate LGD once again, and also give a round of applause to both teams in the finals!"

"Congratulations LGD!" Miller exclaimed loudly.

In the official tournament live stream, the chat was filled with "Congratulations LGD".

It's been flooding the screen for minutes now, densely packed with comments.

The cameras remained focused on the center of the stage, where the Silver Dragon Cup had been returned to the table in front of the LGD players.

At this moment, Dgc and his coaching staff, as well as Funny, LGD's perennial substitute mid laner, had also come from backstage to the center of the stage.

The crowd huddled together, excitedly talking to each other and sharing the joy of winning the championship.

Before the final began, Zhu Zhen, the host of the opening ceremony, had his slightly shrill voice ring out again after the final.

"Let's congratulate the 17 Summer Split champions, L~G~D~"

The LGD fans at the scene erupted in huge cheers.

Zhu Zhen continued, "Please put on your championship uniforms, everyone!"

Another burst of dry ice erupted from around the main stage, white columns of air billowing out, while rousing background music played throughout the venue.

The director panned the camera across the audience seats, where many seats were already empty, and people were constantly getting up to leave.

After a few minutes of spamming "Congratulations LGD" in the official tournament live stream chat, some other comments finally appeared.

Hey hey hey, RNG fans, don't go!

[Haha, the awards ceremony has just started, why are you leaving already?]

[All the Uzbek fans have left.]

[Weren't you quite loud during the competition? Stay and cheer us on!]

[Hey, Zhou Shen said it before, they came here to get second place. Now that they've got it, they're leaving!]

Hahaha. Absolutely!

[A record of RNG fans leaving the venue!]

【.】

on the main stage.

Dgc deliberately went to Zhou Dian's side and patted his shoulder twice, everything was understood without words.

Two young ladies dressed in red robes walked onto the stage, each carrying a pile of folded clothes, which should be the "champion's uniform" that Zhu Zhen had mentioned earlier.

Zhu Zhen continued, "If we win, let's celebrate together; if we lose, let's shoulder the burden together. Let's give RNG the same applause!"

However, at this point, the applause and cheers from the audience were noticeably less than during the match.

"Now, as you can see, our champion LGD is about to don our championship jersey on the field."

The director stopped showing the actors wearing clothes and instead turned the camera to the audience.

The camera slowly panned across the entire audience, with spectators continuously leaving.

"Alright, next up is the moment to crown the champion. The LGD players, who are now wearing their championship jerseys, will come to the front of the stage to receive their prize money."

"At the same time, we will soon reveal who will be the MVP of the 17 LPL Summer Split Finals."

Upon hearing Zhu Zhen's words, many audience members spontaneously shouted "God Zhou!"
Indeed, the MVP of this final seems to be a foregone conclusion.

The camera cuts back to the stage, where LGD's starting five, who also played all three games of the finals—Zhou Dian, Eimy, GodV, imp, and PYL—are now wearing what Zhu Zhen called the "championship uniform."

The so-called "championship uniform" is actually just a black jacket with the LPL logo and the words "2017summer" on it.

Each person was also given a hat, which was also black, with the word "CHAMPION" printed in gold on the front.

Everyone's clothes and hats are the same size.

However, Zhou Dian and the others were not very tall, so their clothes fit them fairly well.

Only Wei Shen, who is on the heavier side, was still struggling to put on his clothes when the camera cut back to the stage, and his hat wasn't fully on.

"Okay, so we're still waiting for GodV to get dressed. Come on, no rush!"

Zhu Zhen continued, "Next, let's have Zhou Shen say a few words to everyone!"
