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

With the completion of the nine-minute-long Everfrost spell, Sylas's combat power underwent a qualitative change.

Lu Yingdong could go wherever he wanted from then on.

After pushing the lane, he immediately went to the top lane alone to coordinate with Flandre to launch a tower dive.

He stole Camille's ultimate with his R, followed by E-Frost to initiate, and then used R to avoid turret aggro, maximizing both control and damage.

MOJ's top laner, after some thought, decided not to resist.

How the hell is he supposed to survive? Sylas almost solo-killed him with one combo!

Ultimately, the kill was secured by Flandre's Aatrox with a single Q3.

Lu Yingdong didn't hold the head, and he wasn't in a hurry. He first returned to the mid lane and finished a wave of tower minions. As the minion wave reset in the middle, Jie Jie arrived just in time to launch a gank.

JieJie's move was quite clever. He first used his Q skill to dash out from the side to apply pressure, and then used his ultimate!

Bai Cai's tense nerves were jolted by this ultimate move. He hurriedly flashed backward, but only after he flashed did he realize that Sejuani's ultimate move had predicted the location of his flash!

Amidst gasps from the audience, Sejuani's ultimate skill landed perfectly, and Lu Yingdong followed up with his E skill, securing a decisive kill with the help of Jie Jie!

"Brother Dong, what do you think of my amazing move? Is it worth mentioning?" Jie Jie asked smugly, eager to take credit.

"Awesome!" Lu Yingdong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, sincerely saying, "You played with great confidence, Zhao Lijie!"

For a professional player, confidence is a key fluctuating factor.

If JieJie lacks confidence and is hesitant, he won't be able to make that predicted move, which will directly affect the outcome of this gank.

Jie Jie grinned and said, "It's all thanks to Dong Ge's good play that I can play however I want."

"Is that so?"

Lu Yingdong returned to the city happily and used the more than 1,000 yuan in his hand to directly combine the ten-layered murder ring into a murder book.

As soon as the book was sold, Jie Jie pinged it several times.

Mao Mao and Gu Gu in the commentary booth also focused on this piece of equipment.

"Wow, a Soul Stealing Scroll! Dong Shen is really confident about this match!"

"Of course, the Book of Murder is not a problem either, after all, it has a great advantage, and once the book is closed, it has ten levels, so it is not a loss from an economic point of view."

Lu Yingdong has always been confident, pulling out a Mejai's Soulstealer in his very first game of his professional career.

In the blink of an eye, 18 minutes had passed in the game.

In the last few minutes, Lu Yingdong has not returned to the city.

但他的杀人书已经悄然从10层变成了22层，战绩也从6-0-1变成了8-0-3。

At this moment, Lu Yingdong, with half a bar of health and a little less mana, was quietly crouching in the bushes next to the red buff camp in the enemy's lower jungle.

He activated the scan, confirmed that there was no field of vision around him, and then focused intently on the dark mist not far away.

If nothing unexpected happens, someone will be here soon...

As expected, in the blink of an eye, a Syndra emerged from the mist and slowly approached the bushes where he was.

For this Syndra, Lu Yingdong didn't even need any extra skills. After she got close, he first used E from the bush, and then followed up with Everfrost and QE to hit her accurately!

During his second E dash, he casually used his R [His Way] to steal Syndra's ultimate, and then immediately unleashed his WR combo upon landing!

It wasn't until this point that Bai Cai finally used QE to push the ball. Although it pushed Sylas away, the three Dark Orbs behind Sylas were unstoppable and shot towards him!

Sylas stealing Syndra's ultimate will only deal the basic damage of the three orbs, which isn't particularly high.

However, Lu Yingdong's equipment was excellent, with 22 stacks of Mejai's Soulstealer and Eternal Frostbite, making Sylas's damage output so high that it was incomprehensible.

E Yongshuang QERWR!

The combo completely drained Sylas's last bit of mana and also depleted Syndra's health bar!

"Legendary!"

The godlike voice rang out a second time, and at that moment, the audience, whose seats were not full, collectively erupted in cheers and applause for Lu Yingdong!

They could clearly see that Sylas's 22 stacks of Mejai's Soulstealer were finally filled up after this solo kill, reaching the maximum value of 25 stacks.

After being defeated once again, Bai Cai adjusted his headphones, making sure they were clamped tighter so he couldn't hear the agonizing cheers from the audience.

He realized that he had become Lu Yingdong's background prop.

He pressed TAB, looked at Sylas's 9-0-3 score, and then at Sylas's equipment, and sighed inwardly that he had been careless.

He had previously seen that the enemy Sylas was at half health and almost out of mana, and hadn't upgraded his equipment in a long time, so he assumed that Sylas had pushed the lane and gone back to base.

I didn't expect them to play such a dirty trick.

It's important to know that their lower triangular bush and the entrance to the lower jungle in the mid lane are both warded. If Sylas walks straight into the jungle, he will be spotted by their vision immediately.

This only shows that Sylas anticipated their vision setup and deliberately used his E to cross the wall from the dragon pit, catching them off guard!

After careful calculation, Bai Cai realized that Sylas had gotten a total of three kills and two assists in those few minutes, and he hadn't even stopped last-hitting minions.

How much money does he have?

If he goes home again to buy more equipment, will they still have a chance to turn the tide?

"..."

"Awesome!"

"Nice! Dong-ge!"

Amidst the praise from his teammates, Lu Yingdong, now with zero health and mana, happily pressed B to return to base.

At this point, the amount of money he had in his hands had reached an astonishing 3044 yuan.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Yingdong paid the full amount of 3,000 yuan for the Zhongya Hourglass.

This version of the Zhonya's Hourglass costs 3000 gold, grants 80 spell power, and 15 skill haste. Overall, it's not very cost-effective, but it is indeed a must-have item for Sylas, a melee mage assassin. There's no problem in building it first.

Meiko reacted quickly, immediately pinging Lu Yingdong's equipment to express his shock.

While everyone else didn't even have two pieces of the set, he had already taken the lead and reached the three-piece set stage, including the Mejai's Soulstealer, which was terrifying!

Lu Yingdong remained calm, and smiled, "Let's go, let's go, the dragon game is over."

With such a huge economic gap, strategy is meaningless. What we need to do now is take down the Baron and end the game in one fell swoop.

Once the mid-lane minions pushed onto the high ground, Lu Yingdong pinged, and all five players collectively rotated to the river.

The MOJ team observed this fact and had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue clearing the lines while keeping up.

However, they really weren't confident about this Baron fight.

Because their lineup is a standard solo queue composition, with Camille in the top lane and Graves in the jungle, this lineup is inherently incomplete. It's fine for dominating in advantageous situations, especially against weaker opponents, but once they fall behind, team fights become a free-for-all, with everyone just trying to escape...

As they predicted, even though EDG's players were weakened by the Baron, MOJ still suffered a crushing defeat in team fights.

She never took the initiative to attack, and even played some manual maneuvers, with Camille using E-Flash followed by R to initiate the Leave.

But the next second, the Minotaur slammed his fist, breaking his ultimate. Leave used Flash to dodge Syndra's push and started turning around to draw his bow and attack.

Instead, it was JieJie who used Q to emerge from the dragon pit and landed a precise R on Rakan!

Lu Yingdong's Sylas followed closely behind, landing a precise hook on Rakan with a second E to complete his entry into the fray.

While in mid-air, he used his ultimate ability to steal Rakan's R [Fleeting Glance] again and activated it decisively!

Before MOJ's support, Jilibao, could react, he was charmed by Sylas again. Then, Sylas used a simple W to send him away!

Jilibao was dumbfounded.

What kind of damage is this?

But Silas's crazy performance has only just begun.

After killing Luo, Lu Yingdong immediately used Flash to switch positions and arrived in the center of MOJ's backline of three.

This flash was so sudden that MOJ's Xayah, Graves, and Syndra were all charmed at the same time!

Lu Yingdong curled the corners of his mouth, took a small step to adjust his angle, and then used Eternal Frost to imprison the three of them once again!

Immediately afterwards, a Q [Chain Whip] was unleashed in the center of the three!

BOOM!

Sylas with a full set of three Mejai's Soulstealer items was able to unleash his full damage potential. Everyone watched as the three heroes' health plummeted. Graves and Syndra, who had Mercury's Treads, were relatively okay and could withstand the damage, but Xayah, who had Berserker's Greaves and was still low-level, was in serious trouble.

Hit by this explosion, and then hit by a passive sweep, my entire health bar was wiped out!

"Wang Ziyue was instantly killed! His purification skill wasn't ready yet, so he didn't even have a chance to use his ultimate!"

This visual feast drew screams of amazement from Mao Mao and Gu Gu!

"Triple kill!"

"ACE!"

Ultimately, with a triple kill, EDG secured Baron Nashor with a 5-0 exchange.

Although winning a team fight in the last twenty minutes or so isn't enough to end the game in one fell swoop, taking the second top tower and Baron Nashor shouldn't be a problem.

After securing the Baron, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt. EDG returned home to rest and regroup before launching a powerful comeback!

This time it was Meiko's turn to initiate the team fight with Alistar, flashing twice to ignite the final battle.

Lu Yingdong was still the second to enter the fray. He first cooperated with Meiko's control to instantly kill one person, then used his invulnerability to avoid the enemy's first burst of damage, then stole Camille's ultimate to lock down Xayah who had been forced to use her ultimate by JieJie, and then killed the AD in one combo!

"Legendary!"

The crowd had lost count of how many times the shouts of "Godlike!" had been heard as Lu Yingdong once again secured a triple kill.

After this wave, the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt. EDG pushed forward and destroyed MOJ's base in a total of 23 minutes!

Silas' final score was 15-0-7!

At that moment, the crowd erupted in cheers!

Countless streamers and viewers who were just there for the spectacle couldn't help but grin in amazement when they saw Sylas's stats.

Fifteen were killed in just over twenty minutes?

This is way too exaggerated!

Is Dong Shen really going to stomp on newbies? Looks like the hype online wasn't just empty talk; this guy has actually sharpened his sword!

At this moment, Zi Tai also opened his mouth wide, his face full of surprise, "Wait, what does this person mean?"

"Oh no, he's really secured his starting position," Letme joked during the live stream. "What if he wins the Demacia Cup?"

"Isn't winning the Demacia Cup a bit of an exaggeration?" Crystal couldn't help but say. "Do you think they can beat JD Gaming and BLG?"

In this Demacia Cup, only BLG fielded their full starting lineup, making them a strong contender for the title.

Although JDG is missing Ruler and has been replaced by a substitute, they still have Knight, Kanavi, and 369, so their strength is not bad.

Although EDG played a truly beautiful game, their chances of beating these two teams are slim.

"It's okay, we'll see," Letme laughed. "Anyway, putting everything else aside, Taiye's fan team is definitely a sure thing."

Upon hearing this, Zitai, far from being ashamed, was actually proud, saying, "It doesn't matter, that's enough! Making it to the top eight is already a success!"

On stage, Lu Yingdong took off his headphones.

Although this match was a good start to his professional career and something to be happy about, Lu Yingdong still felt that it was not enough.

Firstly, the opposing team was, after all, a streamer team. Their draft picks and teamwork were visibly flawed, making the match feel like a ranked game, and the win was truly uninteresting.

Secondly... we still didn't kill enough.

Although Lu Yingdong was just joking when he told Zitai that he wanted to kill fifty people, and that was their usual style of conversation, it didn't stop him from giving it a try.

I tried it and found it to be quite difficult.

If you only kill 15 in this game, then you'll have to kill 35 in the remaining two games, right?

It's quite difficult... mainly because the opponent can't hold on.

They pushed it down in just over twenty minutes, how could they possibly kill it...?

Lu Yingdong shook his head to himself.

"Awesome! Dong-ge!" Jie-jie laughed as he stood up, fist-bumping Lu Ying-dong in celebration. "You went berserk!"

"It's alright, the other team isn't very good, you can probably tell that." Lu Yingdong patted Jie Jie on the back. "As long as we don't make any mistakes, we'll win easily!"

Jie Jie wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

He only died once in the entire game, which was due to a mistake when diving at the beginning. After that, he followed his established rhythm step by step and indeed pushed all the way through.

Looks like next time I'll have to pick a more aggressive hero to give the enemy a bit more strength.

With this in mind, Jie Jie and Lu Yingdong returned backstage together.

Meanwhile, the five members of MOJ stood up, looked at each other, and couldn't help but laugh.

Damn, when did Dong Shen become so strong... He wasn't like this when I queued with him on the Chinese server before!

Before the match started, I thought we might have a chance to win today...

After all, Lu Yingdong is already very old, making him a clear point of entry.

But after the first match, it was precisely this "weak point" that left them utterly bewildered and exhausted...

It seems like... winning just one game would be considered a success.

For a makeshift team like them to defeat professional teams twice and advance to the knockout stage is already a great achievement.

MOJ's five members returned to the city for a short rest, and then, upon notification from the staff, went on stage again to prepare for the second battle.

This time, the five members of MOJ, with a changed mindset, were no longer impatient. They chose a more stable lineup, hoping to win by playing it safe!

They really have secured their victory this time.

They lasted at least five more minutes.

In this match, the right to choose sides returned to EDG, and EDG chose the blue side.

Taking advantage of the blue side's first-mover advantage, Lu Yingdong did not hesitate at all and decisively selected the mid-lane Jayce that he had just mastered, forming an extremely aggressive mid-jungle combination with Jie Jie's Xin Zhao.

In the end, it took the two of them 28 minutes to easily break through MOJ's defense!

Lu Yingdong's record stands at 13-2-4.

While watching the game, Zita glanced at Lu Yingdong's record and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although the defeat of the water friends team is a foregone conclusion, at least one thing is certain after this game.

Lu Yingdong is definitely not going to kill fifty of them.

If the two rounds combined only have 28 kills, then wouldn't the third round require 22 kills to be enough?

That's impossible!
