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

After the second match ended, the official staff worked overtime to quickly release the post-match data panel and the MVP selection.

The MVP of this game is undoubtedly EDG's mid-laner.

Jayce with a 13-2-4 score accounted for 34.4% of the damage output. These two points alone are enough to secure him the MVP title, not to mention his 85% teamfight participation rate and the extremely high damage conversion achieved through his cannon shots.

Commentators Mao Mao and Gu Gu shared their opinions on the MVP moment.

"I have to say, what surprised us the most today was the performance of veteran East!" Mao Mao said confidently. "Two consecutive MVPs, a total of 28 kills! His form is frightening!"

"Yes!" GuGu couldn't help but praise, "Perhaps after watching these two matches, we'll understand why he's EDG's starting mid-laner. EDG has never been ambiguous in its choice of mid-laner throughout its many years as a team!"

Upon hearing this, countless viewers nodded in agreement, and the piglets and little knights were moved to tears.

Since EDG was founded in S4, its mid laner U has never been weak. He once helped the team defeat WE and advance to the World Championship that year.

After S5, EDG acquired the championship-winning mid laner Pawn, and from then on, they were unstoppable.

The team went from being called a "traitor team" to becoming the "number one team in the LPL" at the S5 MSI, and from being "good at domestic battles but bad at international battles" to becoming the "number one club in the LPL" at the S11 World Championship.

In these two crucial championships, the two Korean players in the mid-lane both played irreplaceable roles.

So when EDG officially announced East as their mid laner, even their own fans found it hard to understand.

Even if you're trying to save money, you can't be this stingy!

But now it seems... it's really good!

Even though it was a friendly match, the victory wasn't very prestigious... but it's still a win!

Once I play for a professional team in the future, as long as I can perform at 70% of my usual level, that will be more than enough!

"Now we can look forward to seeing what kind of performance TVXQ will deliver in the third game!"

...

Meanwhile, in the MOJ lounge.

After being thoroughly thrashed twice, Bai Cai couldn't help but scratch his head and say, "Brothers, what do we do? We can't beat them!"

"What can we do? Just send it." Past Clouds laughed. "Like I said, losing to EDG isn't shameful."

Beside her, "Past Dreams" couldn't help but complain, "But we can't lose like this! We got crushed twice in a row, and we couldn't even fight back. Is there any way to win something next time? We need to figure out how to get some loot back!"

"Don't worry about me next game," Bai Cai said weakly. "Next game, just pick Lissandra for me. I'll just stay in the mid lane and push the wave. I'll try my best to prevent her from roaming."

Wang Ziyue chimed in, "Next game we can try ganking bot lane, focusing on that. The enemy AD is playing very aggressively, likes to push the lane, so if we pick a strong laner with good crowd control, we can gank easily!"

"Okay!" MOJ, the coach and fellow Huya streamer, stood up, clenched his fist, and said, "It's settled then! Next game, if we can last more than thirty minutes, we've succeeded!"

From being full of confidence at the beginning to considering winning just one game as a success at the end of the first round.

Now, MOJ's goal has become simply to last for more than 30 minutes.

After a ten-minute break, the players from both sides sat on the bench for the third time, and the draft phase quickly began.

MOJ returned to the blue side this time. They first locked in Lissandra, and then locked in Aatrox for the top lane, letting Nobody come over to play alone, dragging out the jungler and bot lane duo until the end.

In their last three picks, they chose a bot lane duo that could secure lane control and lock down enemies, and locked in Sejuani, a champion known for her ganking prowess in the bot lane. Their ambitions were obvious to everyone.

On the other side, EDG still focused on their mid and jungle. When Lu Yingdong saw that MOJ dared to pick Lissandra first, he immediately pulled out Tristana, which he had just learned, to continue to increase the opponent's strength.

Tristana is almost the bane of all lane-pushing and support-oriented mages. She has stable lane control in the early game, and as long as she disrupts the enemy's support rhythm, she can become a stable carry in the late game.

Coach MOJ looked at the lineup in front of him, slammed his notebook shut, and said, "It's up to you guys now."

After watching the first two games from behind the scenes, Coach MOJ has come to a deep understanding of the gap between the two teams, and he has completely given up on the idea of ​​winning.

EDG, a top LPL team, has such a tight overall system that it's a game-changer against non-professional teams!

Right now, he just hopes that if the team loses, they can lose in a respectable way.

The key lies with the mid-lane cabbage.

If Baicai can play a little more steadily and reduce the gap in the mid lane... then I believe they should have no problem holding out until the 30-minute mark.

Coach MOJ took one last look at Lu Yingdong sitting across from him on the stage before walking away.

Coach MOJ couldn't believe that this person was really that strong.

If he truly had the ability to consistently outperform the average player, he wouldn't have been a substitute for eight years!

If this is just a final burst of brilliance at the end of his career, then it's time for it to end.

The match started quickly.

Coach MOJ sat backstage for three minutes and felt extremely uneasy.

"What are you doing, Cabbage!" Coach MOJ stood up, utterly bewildered. "Isn't she dead?"

In the broadcast footage at this moment, the little trio who had reached level three had already detonated the [Explosive Spark] above Lissandra's head with a single basic attack, and then, by refreshing her W, caught up with the Lissandra who had activated her E skill's dash, and stomped on her to slow her down!

Although the cannon's burst damage had dried up by now, the Ice Maiden's health was also almost depleted!

The little cannon stood at the edge of the turret's range, fired two basic attacks, and easily secured the first blood!

"First blood!"

At that moment, cheers erupted from the audience once again, and the number of comments on the screen surged dramatically.

"Another solo kill! I've lost count of how many times Dong Shen has gotten a solo kill!" From the commentary booth, Mao Mao shouted excitedly.

"Dong Shen's health calculations were spot on! He didn't pressure her too aggressively in the early game, only trading blows with the Ice Maiden until she was at 70% health, then launched a strong three-man rush and secured a solo kill with his aggressive play!"

"After this solo kill, DongShen can push the lane, go back to base, and buy Mercury's Treads. Then he'll really be invincible this game!"

That was indeed Lu Yingdong's plan.

With the 400 gold from the first blood, he successfully built Mercury's Treads during his first recall at four minutes.

With the Cleanse in hand, the enemy Sejuani and Lissandra mid-jungle duo had absolutely no way to deal with him.

It's no exaggeration to say that dying even once in this game is considered bad!

Seeing Tristana's Mercury's Treads, MOJ decisively gave up the last chance to gank Tristana and focused his attention on the bottom lane.

Fortunately, Leave did indeed give them a chance.

As soon as the lane was pushed back, he couldn't wait to go in and trade blows. Meiko couldn't stop him. In the end, he did win the trade, but it was a win that the opponent deliberately gave him.

A female pig appeared from behind, blocking his escape route.

After a gank, MOJ's bot laner, Prince Yue, secured a double kill, and the kill score was actually reversed!

In the relatively quiet situation in the bottom lane, Lu Yingdong remained calm and instead moved Jie Jie to the mid lane to tower dive Bai Cai!

Before Ice Maiden reached level six, she could be bullied however she wanted.

JieJie's Xin Zhao entered the tower and decisively initiated with a stab, leaving BaiCai in a dilemma: whether to use his E or not. In the end, BaiCai was stabbed away by Xin Zhao, and then Tristana ignited the spark with a shot, easily sending BaiCai away!

Without any pressure, Lu Yingdong led his team to a 2-0 victory, tying the score.

"No problem, we'll carry this game." Before the bot lane even spoke, Lu Yingdong was already reassuring his teammates, "Just play casually, don't feel pressured!"

In that instant, the teammates felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze, sensing Lu Yingdong's care.

I have to say, it's really comfortable playing with teammates like these!

If it were Scout, he'd probably still be completely silent at this moment. He's definitely a carry, but he never reassures his teammates, and sometimes even puts pressure on them...

Lu Yingdong's inner monologue at this moment: Giving away a few more kills doesn't matter. If the other side doesn't put up some resistance this round, how am I supposed to get fifty kills?

Lu Yingdong has full confidence in MOJ; no matter the situation, he can lead the team to victory!

The match continued.

MOJ then went all out, giving the bot lane extra attention.

Even Bai Cai voluntarily gave up the minion wave and, at level six, went to the bottom lane with the jungler to gank the bottom lane.

However, this four-man gank on the bottom lane was still very successful. They not only secured the kills on the bottom lane duo, but also managed to control the Earth Dragon!

However, the cost was that Bai Cai lost two waves of minions, while Lu Yingdong took the opportunity to eat two tower plates with [Demolition] and [Explosive Spark], and also went to the top lane with Jie Jie to kill the one who had never come.

The two sides continued their back-and-forth attacks.

MOJ then coordinated a jungle-support play, even managing to kill JieJ in the jungle.

Lu Yingdong took advantage of the enemy jungler's absence and used his W to jump directly into the tower, attacking the Ice Maiden who had no ultimate!

After detonating the explosive sparks, he jumped in again with W, followed by an ARA, easily completing the tower dive. Then he W'd out of the tower and made a triumphant escape.

Nine minutes in, Lu Yingdong caught the top lane again and slashed again, then turned around to help his team take the lead!

However, as a consequence, MOJ once again ganked the bottom lane with four players, and successfully made the kill.

In this match, MOJ showed amazing resilience. Although the gap in the mid lane was still large, they managed to gain resources every time and even achieved a 7-5 kill lead.

But at this moment, you can strangely find that even though MOJ is leading by two kills, he is not leading in economy.

At this moment, the director brought up the economic panel and found that Lu Yingdong's cannon had already taken a 2200-point lead over Baicai's economy.

A 2200-point lead in ten minutes—that's an unbelievable margin!

Of course, this situation also made MOJ's goals clear.

At this point, ganking EDG's bot lane is pointless, as it poses no threat to the 0-3 bot lane duo.

All they need to do next is eliminate the small cannon, and they'll have a great chance of winning this game!

But will Lu Yingdong give them a chance?

Or rather, who did whom?

11分钟，海妖水银鞋的5-0小炮跳到下路，和6-0-1的王子越展开皇城PK。

Wang Ziyue thought he could hold his own with the help of his equally skilled teammates and the economic advantage he had, but it turned out that this was impossible.

The advantages of mid laners are different from those of AD carries.

The cannon's attack speed was faster, and it detonated E in a few shots, immediately knocking out the shield of the Shield Bow!

Then Lu Yingdong jumped in with his AW skill, used his ultimate skill in mid-air, and landed with a basic attack, instantly emptying Wang Ziyue's health bar!

"Shut down!"

Sorry, I'm fatter than you.

After killing the enemy, Lu Yingdong turned around and attacked the support, Jilibao. This time, he didn't give up any kills and took the support's kill as well!

"Godlike!"

7-0!

After collecting the bounty and returning to base, Tristana had already completed her second Phantom Dancer item, and then returned to the mid lane.

First, randomly attack four times to stack the attack speed and movement speed bonus from the Green Crossbow, then immediately use W to jump close to the Ice Maiden!

During the time it took for the Ice Maiden to use her E skill and retreat, he used his high attack speed bonus to quickly trigger the explosion of the E skill, and then refreshed his W skill to complete the chase!

The instant W passed, the Ice Maiden turned around and used R to freeze him, and at the same time the enemy Sejuani appeared from the side!

But Lu Yingdong remained calm, instantly using Purify followed by Imprisonment, then Flash forward to dodge Sejuani's ultimate, followed by two critical hits to send Lissandra away, and finally refreshed his W to easily leave the scene!

"Legendary!"

Looking at the black and white television again, Bai Cai was speechless; he was numb.

After this solo kill, Lu Yingdong easily pushed down the mid-lane tower.

Just like the previous two games, MOJ quickly fell into a disadvantageous position under Lu Yingdong's strong performance.

Of course, this time is slightly different. They have an AD carry who can hold the game a little and prevent it from being lost too quickly.

This gave Lu Yingdong the opportunity to continue killing.

In the following time, small skirmishes continued between the two sides, with MOJ focusing on AD and constantly engaging in small skirmishes with EDG.

With the triple protection of Titan, Crystal Maiden, and Sejuani, Lu Yingdong had no way to deal with Wang Ziyue for the time being and could only dismantle the shells first.

Of course, the outer shell is also a human head.

In several team fights, Lu Yingdong kept racking up kills by eliminating the enemy's front line.

Ultimately, the match dragged on for 28 minutes.

The five members of MOJ were covered in sweat, glancing at the time in the upper right corner and encouraging each other.

"It's been almost thirty minutes!"

"OK, OK, thirty minutes shouldn't be a problem!"

"Hold on, let's hold this high ground, they definitely won't be able to get in!"

The words had barely left his mouth...

Leave's Aphelios seized a perfect opportunity, immediately using his blue and purple blades to enter the fray, followed by a full combo of R-flash QWQ!

This is Leave. Although he suffered a lot of bullying and underdeveloped in the early stages, once he seizes the opportunity, he really dares to play cool.

Even though MOJ reacted quickly and spread out their formation, they were still hit by three Rs!

Once it started, it was unstoppable!

Several melee fighters from EDG launched a surprise attack, with Lu Yingdong following closely behind, unleashing the Tristana's reaping mode!

Three shots to kill the Sword Demon, Purify to dodge the Ice Maiden's ultimate, and then two shots from teammates to finish her off!

Once again, W jumps, piercing straight into the enemy backline, landing three critical hits, and happily sending Prince Yue to his death!

"Triple kill!"

A triple kill secured the victory! A smile suddenly bloomed on Lu Yingdong's face.

Meanwhile, Leave, with Meiko's help, secured two more kills. With the two marksmen's ferocious output, EDG easily crushed the team fight!

"Legendary!"

"ACE!"

The godlike voice rang out for what seemed like the umpteenth time. Zita covered his head with his hands, yelling, "NO! NO! NO! Don't give him the kill!"

Because he had been keeping track of the number of people killed by the small cannon.

He knew that after getting those three kills, Xiaopao's kill count would reach 22.

He got 22 kills in a single game, in addition to the 15 kills and 13 kills he got in the previous two games.

Three rounds, that's exactly fifty kills!

Lu Yingdong fulfilled his promise!

"Three to zero!" In the commentary booth, Mao Mao shouted upon hearing the news from the director, "Let's congratulate EDG on defeating MOJ three to zero and advancing to the semifinals!"

"But at the same time, we also want to congratulate East, who achieved a perfect score of 22-0-6 with Tristana in this game, tying the Demacia Cup kill record jointly set by JackeyLove and Ruo!"

"This will be a perfect start to his career! I believe that through this record, everyone will remember this veteran player with the ID 'East'!"

...

...

...

Today's chapter is still a two-in-one chapter, combined and released together.

I need to go into a little more detail about my first career game, but I didn't expect it to be longer than I anticipated. I can only say that I haven't written about a game in half a year, and I've lost my sense of rhythm.

But it's definitely not water OvO

The Demacia Cup kill record is jointly held by JackeyLove in 2018 and Shan Ni Ruo in 2015, both with 22 kills.
