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

As the A350 wide-body aircraft slowly flew past in the stratosphere, Lu Yingdong took out his phone, connected to the aircraft's Wi-Fi, and started browsing the latest news.

He's been working himself to the bone lately, spending all his time playing games except for eating, drinking, sleeping, and using the restroom. He hasn't even looked at the transfer window.

Now that the transfer window has long since closed and everything has returned to normal, it's time for the final review.

Lu Yingdong thought for a moment, then opened the Tieba forum and entered the Anti-Japanese War forum, which he was most familiar with.

Veteran esports players can't possibly ignore the anti-esports forum; it's an indispensable part of their lives.

Lu Yingdong clicked in and found the post he was looking for.

Here are the new team lineups for S13, you rate them!

Very quickly, Lu Yingdong clicked on it in one go.

He really enjoys scoring! Especially since he participates in the scoring process himself.

After clicking into the post and setting it to only show posts by the original poster, I immediately saw the original poster post JDG's latest roster on the second floor.

The ultimate galactic battleship possessing the trident of Kanavi, Left Hand, and Ruler.

A great super team doesn't guarantee a championship; after all, all the super teams in League of Legends history have ultimately sunk.

But it will definitely allow you to reach an extremely high floor!

JDG's lineup will definitely be strong in S13.

As expected, under the rating of this floor, the netizens decisively gave them evaluations such as "god among gods" and "the most foolish one". In the rating of the Anti-Bad Forum, this is the highest score.

Lu Yingdong continued to scroll down, and after several lower-ranked teams, the poster revealed TES's new lineup.

TES has added Rookie to their roster, while the other four players remain unchanged.

From a rational perspective, replacing the left hand with Rookie is hardly a significant improvement. However, for some reason, most netizens seem to think so, giving TES's new lineup an 8 out of 10 rating, believing that this TES team has potential.

Then came WBG.

A new formation featuring Little Tiger, Lantern, and Pine.

In this post, netizens again shifted their tone, giving this lineup comments such as "three points" and "a mess".

Actually, Xiaohu's reputation on Tieba has been pretty good recently. Although the S-series was a mess, his two consecutive MSI championships have raised his status quite a bit.

However, some members of the team have a very bad reputation.

TheShy has achieved almost nothing in recent years, and last year, his fans' act of submerging three teammates and the coach in water and electrifying them provided a lot of amusement for the forum members, leading to a very low opinion of TheShy among the forum members, who believed that as long as he was there, WBG would not go far.

Lu Yingdong narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the post in front of him.

It's really hard to say whether TES or WBG is stronger...

He even believes that, given Xiaohu's dominance in the league, WBG might actually be stronger.

Judging from the comments of these forum members, it's not hard to see which group currently holds the power in the anti-racism forum...

(The above comments have nothing to do with me... they are all summaries from my browsing of the Anti-Japanese Forum during that period.)

Lu Yingdong continued scrolling down and, after passing several downstream teams, saw the LNG lineup.

Top laner Zika, jungler Tarzan, mid laner Scout, bot laner LP, support Hang.

Lu Yingdong was slightly surprised to see Scout appear in the mid-lane of LNG.

Did he ultimately not go to LCK?

Then it would be better to stay with EDG... LNG will definitely not offer the same 20 million top salary as EDG.

As for this lineup, because of the presence of the Korean mid-jungle player, netizens are quite optimistic about them, giving them a seven out of ten rating, and even believing that this lineup can make it to the World Championship.

But when Lu Yingdong saw this, he felt a little strange.

What about Doinb?

There's no room left for LNG, so where can he go?

Lu Yingdong continued sliding down, and after passing through a bunch of queues, he finally confirmed a fact.

Doinb hasn't found a job this year...

He was squeezed out of EDG by himself, and then squeezed out of LNG by Scout. Strong teams don't have spots for him, and he won't go to weak teams. He can't go back to LCK, so he's stuck in this awkward situation.

Lu Yingdong found the thought somewhat amusing.

So even champion mid-laners can't find jobs?

Oh, you're a streamer now!

Lu Yingdong smiled and continued scrolling down, then saw BLG's new lineup.

The forum users also have high hopes for this lineup, giving it a high score of seven points, believing that this team's minimum performance level will not be low.

Lu Yingdong nodded and continued scrolling down, finally seeing EDG's new lineup at the very end.

Clearly, the poster is an experienced player, as he only pulled out the dagger hidden in the map of Yan at the very end.

"Top laner Flandre, jungler jiejie, mid laner East, bot laner Uzi, support Meiko"

Lu Yingdong opened the comments, and the first reply was shocking.

"Do you think this lineup is similar in style to the one above?"

Immediately following was a barrage of negative reviews.

"Dog shit"

"Negative 10,000 points"

"EDG is really obsessed with generating buzz. Didn't they embarrass Uzi enough last year? Why are they putting him in the starting lineup?"

Fun fact: This lineup has an average age of 24, and they'll be 25 next year.

"An esports team with an average age of 24? I can't even imagine it."

"Dong Shen, who crushed the maggots, is the starting Dong ÷ ×"

"I'll watch this team every single episode; I want to see how they embarrass themselves."

"I'm really afraid that DongShen will mess things up, and then the 'ba qu' will come back to life on the spot."

"That's really disgusting."

"Stop making baseless accusations. Didn't you see what Hanyi said? DongShen completely dominated Doinb and even rejected TES. Rookie was just picking up the scraps left by him."

"You actually believe that kind of bullshit? When has Hanyi ever told the truth?"

"Indeed, anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't believe that."

Lu Yingdong couldn't help but laugh when he saw the pile of negative comments.

Damn, nobody's optimistic about it?

Of course, Lu Yingdong could understand.

This is all thanks to the fact that he has a system.

If not, even Lu Yingdong himself doesn't have high hopes for himself...

Fortunately, Lu Yingdong was already mentally prepared.

He assembled this lineup because he had the system, so there are no "what ifs".

He believes their lineup is very strong, extremely strong!

Since some people have doubts, let's just show them!

【Beep beep——】

[New mission released!]

The Demacia Cup is the starting point of the road to gold; you need to make a strong start.

[The Golden Road 1: Winning the Demacia Cup]

[Task Rewards: 1000 points, 1 Proficiency Enhancement Card, 1 Peak Card]

Looking at the task, Lu Yingdong thought to himself, "As expected, the system that loves to send out tasks to torment people will definitely not miss the opportunity of the Demacia Cup."

Although winning the Demacia Cup is quite difficult, the rewards are indeed very generous.

This proficiency enhancement card alone is something he's been working hard on for the past two weeks!

It seems there's a compelling reason for them to win.

The plane landed with a roar at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. As soon as Lu Yingdong got out of the car and exited the airport, he saw the EDG vehicle that had come to pick him up. He opened the door and got in, and it seemed like he had arrived at the club's entrance in the blink of an eye.

Abu had been waiting at the club entrance for a long time and greeted Lu Yingdong with a smile as he led him inside.

"I've been watching your streams lately," Abu laughed. "You've been playing ranked games a lot lately, looks like you're in great form? Are you ready for the Demacia Cup?"

"Don't worry," Lu Yingdong patted his chest, "Everything was prepared long ago!"

Today is the 15th, the second day of the Demacia Cup.

Because EDG was one of the LPL seed teams in last year's World Championship, they do not need to play in the Demacia Cup group stage and can directly advance to the quarterfinals. In other words, their matches will officially begin on the 23rd.

That same evening, EDG officially released their starting lineup for the Demacia Cup, and Uzi was not present.

But Uzbekistan won't take office until after the new year, which was announced long ago, so it doesn't seem strange to outsiders.

With Uzi, the player with the highest traffic, absent, everyone's attention immediately turned to Lu Yingdong in the mid lane.

What magic does East, who has been a substitute for eight years, possess that allows him to replace Scout as EDG's mid laner?

Amidst countless speculations, the day arrived at December 23rd.

Day 1 of the Demacia Cup knockout stage.
