League: What? A bunch of old men can win a championship?

025 Reverse Selection

All I can say is that the practice matches went quite smoothly.

A game lasts about ten minutes, a game lasts eight minutes, and even including the ban/pick phase and rest time, the total time doesn't exceed half an hour.

Lu Yingdong didn't waste the remaining half hour either, and played another practice match with TES.

In fact, the TES players had already lost their composure and didn't want to play anymore, planning to reschedule for another day. However, the EDG players said they hadn't played enough, since Lu Yingdong had only played two games.

Considering that Lu Yingdong was also a mid-laner they were trying out, TES thought for a while and decided to play one more game.

Then I got tortured again...

There's nothing we can do about it.

After so many games, TES players were completely exhausted and barely functioning, while EDG's morale was high.

Surprisingly, it was Flandre who made the first move this game. He played Aatrox and managed to solo kill the enemy Gwen in the early game, and then he couldn't stop from going all out.

On the mid-lane side, Lu Yingdong's performance was equally commendable.

In this game, he chose Akali, one of the few mage assassins available in this version, sticking with his signature assassin playstyle.

First, he managed to overcome Akali's early-game weakness by leveraging the powerful laning ability granted by the Peak Card.

After reaching level six, he seized the opportunity when Rookie recalled to base to replenish his supplies, and went to Flandre's top lane, where he had a significant advantage, to help him tower dive and successfully get his first kill.

After getting the kill, Lu Yingdong became unstoppable, ganking the jungler, the mid laner, the bottom laner, and getting solo kills on the side lanes. He made a huge impact!

There's no way around it; Lu Yingdong's playing style dictates that once he gains an advantage, his presence will inevitably be quite strong.

The outcome of the third game was also a foregone conclusion. With Aatrox and Akali having a significant development advantage, TES had no chance to resist. After holding on for twenty minutes, they finally chose to GG.

Lu Yingdong's record was set at 7-0-4, just one step away from becoming a god.

"G again?" Jie Jie scratched his head. "Their practice matches are too fast-paced."

Lu Yingdong smiled naturally, "That's the style of people from IG."

Although Lu Yingdong has never played a match, his eight years of experience give him a wealth of experience in watching training matches.

Back then, IG was known for their fast scrimmages. Sometimes, if they messed up a level 1 team fight or a mid-jungle 2v2 didn't go well, they would just restart the game. It was common for a game to last five or six minutes.

That's why IG was so dominant in the early game but lost their composure in the late game, because they rarely played the late game in their scrims...

Now that IG's legacy is in TES, TES has inherited some of IG's style.

At this moment, everyone in EDG stood up and turned their attention to Abu.

The TES people have already left. What happens next depends on Abu's instructions.

Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Abu said, "Alright, the other side has all run away, so the training match is over. Let's go eat, Auntie has already prepared the food."

"OK!" Flandre stood up happily. "Time to eat."

Doinb suddenly said, "I haven't finished my live stream for today. I need to go back and stream first. I won't eat."

Abu turned his head, looked at Doinb, then at Lu Yingdong, and laughed, "Okay, it's nothing. I'll message you if anything comes up. Maokai, give him a ride."

"Okay." Coach Maokai then walked out of the base with Doinb.

The EDG members remained silent and expressionless. They watched Doinb slowly walk away until he disappeared around the corner, and then they burst into laughter.

"Dong-ge is awesome!" Jie-jie laughed. "Did you guys see Doinb's expression?"

Saint Gun Bro also laughed loudly, "Of course he saw it. His face turned black, he couldn't even eat and just ran away."

"Of course it'll be dark! You'll be dark too if you come." Meiko laughed as she said this, "Dong-ge was really abstract today, even Doinb was dizzy."

The factory manager then hooked his arm around his old friend Abu's shoulder and said, "Well, I don't think I need to say more about who to choose, right?"

"Of course." Abu smiled and said, "Dong Shen is one of us, and he performs much better than Doinb..."

Abu's words came to an abrupt end.

Because he saw that Doinb and Maokai had reappeared from around the corner.

Maokai explained, "He forgot his phone..."

Doinb's already dark face turned even darker. He walked past everyone without saying a word, picked up his phone in the training room, and quickly turned and left.

The EDG members calmly watched Doinb leave, and then they started laughing and joking again, sitting down together at the table.

EDG's meals have always been a topic of discussion. In previous years, they gained some fame for their "military-style diet." When Korean players came to EDG, they had to obediently take a tray and line up to get their meals.

Deft played for EDG for so many years, and even after returning to Korea, he still mistakenly thought that Chinese food was just average.

Although things have improved somewhat, they're still not much better.

Fortunately, after so many years, Lu Yingdong had long since gotten used to it.

This time, he sat at the dining table, just like before, watching the aunt bring each dish to the table one by one.

But this time he had some different feelings.

Previously, he was a substitute. Although he ate at the same table as the starters and had a good relationship with them, he always felt a little regretful and thought he shouldn't be in that situation.

But now... everything is different.

With the system's help, he easily passed EDG's assessment and won against Doinb.

He now even has the power to reverse the election.

Of course, Lu Yingdong understood that his performance today was due to his peak form, not his usual performance.

But Lu Yingdong wasn't afraid of being exposed.

Even in his normal state, his attributes are not bad, and they are constantly improving.

Reaching the attribute level of a peak card is only a matter of time.

Furthermore, Lu Yingdong understood that the main purpose of this Peak Card was not to buff himself, but to buff his teammates.

The system's functions will only be realized after you officially join the team and start playing matches.

"Come on, let's eat." Abu warmly served Lu Yingdong some food, then said, "After we finish eating, we can formally discuss the cooperation. We've been working together for eight years, so we're familiar with this part."

Abu knew that Lu Yingdong was still in contact with TES. He didn't want such a top-tier, cost-effective mid-laner to just leave for TES, so of course he had to play the personal card and hope to keep Lu Yingdong by leveraging their eight-year friendship.

"No rush," Lu Yingdong said calmly. "I have to go to Topsports tomorrow."

Abu's expression changed: "Isn't that unnecessary? The treatment you receive from EDG is definitely the best."

Lu Yingdong smiled and said, "But I also made an agreement with them, so I can't break it... Don't worry, if nothing unexpected happens, my first choice will definitely be EDG."

Abu sighed upon hearing this.

EDG never stops its players from pursuing higher platforms. When Viper wanted to return to Korea, they waved goodbye and parted amicably.

Lu Yingdong wanted to contact TES, and of course, he had no right to interfere.

Now, all we can do is pray that TES doesn't offer us a better deal.

If both sides are evenly matched, EDG would likely have an advantage based on their eight-year relationship.

"The room has been cleaned for you, you can sleep here."

OK.

After finishing his meal, Abu hurriedly left the base and made a phone call.

He needs to discuss with Ed Zhu to see if he can get more funding.

For some reason, Abu always had a premonition.

He felt that Lu Yingdong would be a key figure and worth investing in.
