Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

The official arranged two games for the first day of the summer regular season.

After the game between EDG and RNG ended, the next game was between FPX and JDG.

In comparison, the popularity of the match between these two teams is definitely not comparable to the Pig vs. Dog fight. Even after the game started, many people in the barrage were still discussing the match between EDG and RNG.

But compared to the first game, the game between FPX and JDG ended also very quickly.

FPX won both games and easily defeated JDG.

Judging from their performance in the spring season, Little Phoenix is not weak, but JDG is not a weak team either. The huge disparity in performance between the two teams is indeed a bit unexpected.

However, due to the good example of EDG, not many people paid attention to it.

Only Shen Lang, a time traveler, knows that EDG's biggest opponent in the summer season is not RNG, who they are facing today, and it is definitely not their arch-rival IG, but this little phoenix that is about to be reborn.

Unlike his previous carelessness, Shen Lang watched these two games very carefully.

Compared with the spring season, FPX's progress is very obvious.

If they were still in the exploratory stage before, FPX should have already found their own path now.

The main feature of the two games was orderliness. Although the players' performances were not particularly outstanding, they were like a blunt knife cutting meat, slowly devouring JDG.

This is FPX.

If IG's strength is due to the outstanding individual performance of the players, then FPX's strength lies in the tacit cooperation of the team. In comparison, the latter is often easier to be overlooked. This is why after FPX won the S9 World Championship, there are still many people who think that they are lucky and picked up the championship trophy from IG.

……

After the opening game, Shen Lang did not appear in the subsequent games of the regular season.

However, EDG's performance was still very good.

They successfully won the subsequent games against JDG and BLG. Although they lost to IG right after that, the final score was 1:2, not the 0:2 crushing score that netizens had imagined.

EDG was able to achieve this result against IG even though Shen Lang was not on the court, which proves that the other players are in good shape.

Often, in the first half of the regular season, it is already clear which teams will advance to the playoffs.

FPX maintained an undefeated record. At this time, not only Shen Lang, but other teams had also realized that the Little Phoenix was coming in strong in the summer season.

EDG's record is also good, and with the big devil Shen Lang behind them, advancing to the playoffs is a sure thing.

The surprise is RNG.

They were beaten badly by EDG in the opening game, and many viewers thought that they would perform poorly in the summer season. However, this was not the case. Except for the defeat in the opening game, RNG won all the subsequent games easily, proving to the audience that their strength was not what they imagined.

However, RNG's counterattack once again proved EDG's strength from the side.

RNG, which is so strong, was unable to fight back against EDG when Weiwu Ge appeared on the court, which is enough to show how strong EDG is this season.

……

Saturday, April 7.

The regular season is almost coming to an end at this point. If no team explodes or suffers an upset in the subsequent games, the playoff roster can be determined.

Apart from the opening game, Shen Lang has not appeared yet. The main point is not to play meaningless games.

If the director had not occasionally switched the camera to Shen Lang in the lounge during EDG's game, the internet would probably have been filled with false rumors that Shen Lang had left EDG.

Whenever there is an EDG game, Shen Lang enters the lounge and occupies the sofa inside.

Once the happy water is opened, start playing King of Glory.

After the game, I went back to the base, got my salary, won the team game, and even helped my sister reach a star in Honor of Kings. It was such a great victory.

However, when he entered the locker room today, Shen Lang did not lie down as usual, but took the initiative to ask to play in the game today.

Abu was surprised when he heard this.

Looking out the window at the sky...

The sun doesn't rise from the west!

EDG has already secured a spot in the playoffs. It is no exaggeration to say that the remaining games are like garbage time in a basketball game. Even if they lose all of them, it will not affect EDG's advancement to the playoffs. Their ranking will only drop slightly.

In the previous important games, he begged Shen Lang to play, but Shen Lang refused. Now that it has entered garbage time, Shen Lang wants to take the initiative to play.

Is there something wrong with him?

"Today's game isn't important, there's no need for you to play."

Abu was very curious. He knew Shen Lang's personality well. If there was no reason, Shen Lang would be the kind of player who would not play unless he could avoid it.

In fact, the reason why Shen Lang wanted to play was very simple——

EDG's opponent today is FPX.

He knew that the Little Phoenix was quite strong, and he also understood what their best tactics were, but he had never experienced it. He had to test the quality of FPX in the competition.

Judging from the rankings of EDG and FPX, their playoff encounter will probably be in the finals or semifinals, both of which are relatively important games.

Shen Lang is very confident in his own abilities, but he is a steady person.

What if they fail against FPX in the playoffs?

Although the probability is very small, if it really happens, EDG's goal of a Grand Slam this season will not be achieved. Even if they win the World Championship in the end, it still cannot be called a Grand Slam without the LPL Summer Championship.

Abu always thought that Shen Lang didn't care about the team's victory or defeat and always wanted to be lazy, but in fact, Shen was the most stable and cared about EDG.

"The regular season is about to end, so we have to play two games to warm up our hands."

In response to Abu's inquiry, Shen Lang did not tell the truth, mainly because it was difficult to explain. He couldn't just say that I came from a different world and FPX is stronger than you think.

"That's fine."

Abu was quickly persuaded and immediately called a staff member to tell the referee about EDG's substitution.

At this moment, Guan Zeyuan and Rita were both shocked when they heard the news from the director's headset in the commentary booth.

After many days, Shen Lang appeared again.

The Big Devil will arrive in his loyal LPL today!

Guan Zeyuan even forgot what he was saying before and changed the subject very abruptly: "...According to the news from the backstage director, EDG chose to make a substitution before the game. Wave will appear in the subsequent game..."

wow——

Before he could finish his words, the audience suddenly exploded, followed by cheers.

How exaggerated Shen Lang's current popularity is can be seen from the ticket prices of the LPL regular season.

Normal game venues often do not sell out all the tickets, and spectators can often buy discounted tickets. However, for games where Shen Lang is confirmed to be able to play, even regular season tickets are difficult to buy, and the ticket prices are often driven up to outrageous levels by scalpers.

This was the case with the opening game. Netizens speculated that the official would definitely arrange for Shen Lang to appear in the regular season, so they rushed to buy tickets, and the ticket price doubled.

For the audience present today, Shen Lang's appearance means that they can use the money from discounted tickets to buy double tickets.

Without a doubt, a huge profit!
