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

When EDG announced their new season roster, it immediately caused a huge stir in the entire esports community!

The shock value of this lineup is even greater than that of JDG's lineup announcement a few days ago!

There's no way around it, after all, EDG's roster includes a top-tier LPL star.

Just as expected.

The names EDG and Uzi should be completely unrelated in the minds of the audience.

After all, in the early years of the LPL, the rivalry between Pig and Dog was always a major highlight of the league, and the two sides should have been mortal enemies!

So what's going on today? Pigs and dogs are suddenly all one family? Is this going to complete the unification of pig offal and royal offal?

For a moment, everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Of course, the most confused one was Ba Ge.

Because of the recent scripting pace, his attention wasn't on Uzi; he was mainly looking at East in the mid lane, completely puzzled.

Wait, what's up with this guy B? When did he become EDG's starting player? Wasn't he always streaming?

Originally, many people in the live broadcast room were mocking Lu Yingdong's status as a substitute, saying that his judgment was worthless and should not be taken seriously.

But with EDG's official Weibo post, the tide turned instantly.

Ba Ge's fans were speechless for a moment and fell silent. On the contrary, the haters began to revel. Many new "Dongjia Army" rushed into the live broadcast room and began to output indiscriminately. Various titles such as "Ba÷" and "Ba Qu" began to appear on the screen!

So you're the one who mocked DongShen for being a substitute? Huh? Are you still a substitute now?

Now, Dong Shen is not only not a substitute, but also a starter for the top team EDG!

Well... although fans don't know how Lu Yingdong, this jerk, became a starter... they'll just keep bragging about it!

At the same time, Lu Yingdong's live stream was extremely popular.

The BaGe script incident and EDG's starting mid laner have combined to boost the number of viewers in the live stream to a record high!

The number of bullet comments was also exceptionally high.

Although Lu Yingdong hasn't done much lately, quietly grinding for skill points and rankings in ranked matches, he's actually the biggest beneficiary of the attention...

【? ? ? 】

【No way, you're really starting? I was just kidding, bro!】

[With Dong Shen in the starting lineup, what's the point of EDG in the new season? Are they going to have a 26-year-old veteran on the field?]

What's there to be afraid of? Deft and Faker are both 26, aren't they?

[OK, is Dong-Shen already on the same level as Faker?]

Isn't that right?

[Eight years in the making! Dongjiajun respectfully invites Dong Shen to return to the scene!]

Come on, EDG is like an old man in a kayak. Making it to the playoffs would be a success, okay? I've never seen a professional esports team with an average age of 24 before.

Lu Yingdong had just finished a mediocre ranked match on the national server. Looking at the chat, he felt a little helpless and said, "I've never lied to you guys. I said from the beginning that my starting position was already secured, so I was just staying home and playing ranked matches. You guys insisted on thinking I was joking. What could I do?"

The live chat was filled with question marks again.

You've been setting the tone like this every year! Who the hell knew you were serious this time?

That makes no sense, absolutely no sense!

Lu Yingdong smiled and shook his head, unsure of what to say for a moment.

It's fair to say that his backup system was set up too securely, and now that he's suddenly in the starting lineup, it's a bit of a letdown, and it's understandable that fans can't accept it...

But Lu Yingdong was naturally happy to see this scene.

Now that he's in the starting lineup, the so-called "Eastern Army" has some prestige, at least they won't be ridiculed by everyone.

“Ding Di—”

The WeChat message notification sound, which rarely rings even once every eight million years, rang again. Lu Yingdong switched screens again and saw the source of the message in an area that the live streaming software could not detect.

attitude?

The message from Zitai was quite direct: "Bro, you've been looking so swollen lately?"

Lu Yingdong: "?"

Lu Yingdong and Zz1tai have a small group chat. They chat casually every day after their streams end. Since they are all in the industry, Lu Yingdong's signing with EDG was not a secret in the group. Zz1tai knew about the signing on the day it happened.

Therefore, Lu Yingdong had no idea what Zitai was asking.

"No, didn't you see what Hanyi said?" Zitai sent a message along with a screenshot.

This screenshot is from Hanyi's latest Weibo post.

[Rumor has it that DongShen has been incredibly strong lately, dominating both Doinb and Rookie in scrims, and when faced with a choice between EDG and TES, he chose EDG. He was also the one who got EDG to sign Uzi.]

???

Lu Yingdong was immediately shocked when he saw it.

Han Yi's mouth is truly outrageous.

Where did he get the information, and why did he say it outright?

Lu Yingdong has been in the e-sports circle for so many years, and his main strengths are "emotional intelligence" and "connections". Although he is not familiar with Doinb at all, he has some personal relationship with Rookie.

If this news gets out, won't he be seen as someone who steps on his friends to gain attention?

Fortunately, not many people believed this message.

Underneath this Weibo post, almost everyone was expressing their doubts.

Lu Yingdong thought for a moment and replied, "Don't ask. It's just a few training matches, it doesn't prove anything."

"OK, OK." Zitai's emotional intelligence was always good; he immediately understood Lu Yingdong's meaning, and then he asked, "So what's the situation between you and Brother Ba?"

"Can't you see the whole story online?" Lu Yingdong laughed. "Yesterday, I encountered a really stupid but incredibly good Malphite in ranked matches. It was obviously a script, so I mentioned it in my stream. Turns out it was Ba Ge. He just changed his ID, so I didn't recognize him."

"Haha, that's a bit abstract!" Zitai replied with a laugh, "How so? Want me to give you a hand? I'll help you get some votes in the live stream."

"Isn't this unnecessary?" Lu Yingdong typed. "Won't this just get me involved?"

"Where are you? You're all guys here!" His reply was incredibly straightforward.

Lu Yingdong narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the message.

These two lines of chat alone reveal that Zitai is definitely a traffic-chasing brat...

With EDG's official announcement, this new mid-laner of EDG has become absolutely in a winning position in terms of the game's dynamics. Zz1tai will definitely join this winning team and get some of the attention.

Anyone can play a winning team fight, right?

Lu Yingdong, of course, also had a stomachache.

Back when he was just an unknown streamer, Zz1tai often played with him and gave him a lot of viewership.

In fact, the "substitute mid laner" persona was created by Zz1tai and his group through memes.

"OK, let's see what you can do."

Lu Yingdong stopped replying and immediately started another ranked game, still playing Jayce.

This scene surprised many viewers.

With today's massive traffic, Ba Ge even stopped playing games and spent four or five hours engaging in a verbal battle with the crowd.

Why is Dong Shen playing ranked matches one after another?

Upon reflection, many viewers found this to be quite normal.

After all, Dong Shen didn't do anything in this incident. He only started the spree of Ba Ge's script casually during the ranked match.

In that ranked match, Dong Shen only treated Ba Ge like a pig and killed him, and incidentally tested Ba Ge's script operation.

After the test, Dong Shen remained silent and continued his ranked matches, as if the provocation from Ba Ge's side had never happened.

See that? This is the result of EDG's starting mid laner's experience!

This is the difference in the overall situation between the two sides.
