Chapter 272: G-GODS

The splendid fireworks on the big screen, and the venue's fireworks bloomed simultaneously!

In the G2 players' bench, Perkz yanked off his headset, jumped up and swung his fists in a roar; then his teammates piled on, submerging his figure below the camera.

Liang Yan exhaled, gently taking off his headset.

The cheers of over twenty thousand people surged like a tsunami, the entire Madison Square Garden trembling from it, instantly shattering Liang Yan's composure.

Liang Yan also stood up, lunging toward his teammates huddled together nearby.

The venue camera suddenly turned to the backstage passageway.

Ka Lao Si, face full of wild joy, came running while shouting all the way.

Right behind him were G2's team manager and two substitutes.

The female coach who appeared in this match's ban/pick phase, however, walked in last.

The four quickly joined the celebration, while that slender girl stood aside, covering her mouth, eyes glistening with tears as she watched her companions.

The venue commentator shouted hoarsely:

"Congratulations, G2!!!"

The Korean commentators wailed, shouting "GG."

The LPL commentators also loudly shouted congratulations, and in the LPL livestream chat, the entire screen of bullet comments turned into the same two characters:

【What?】

What? Three to one?!

What? G2 three to one SKT?!

What? The Demon King lost?!

What? G2 is going to the finals?!

Of course, at this moment, the most passionate are the European commentators.

Poet commentator Darkos went berserk:

"THEYHAVEDONEIT!!!"

"THEYHAVEACTUALLYDONEIT!!!"

"G2HAVEDETHRONEDTHEKINGS!!!"

Veteran commentator PiraTechnics' eyes reddened, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the scene on stage, wiped away a tear, then clenched his fist and roared:

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

"This is not a dream!"

"This is a miracle in reality!"

"G2 ended the former dynasty's rule, rekindled the once-extinguished European holy flame, raised the EU flag and returned to the finals!"

"We used to call them, G2-8!"

"But now!"

"We call them G-GODS!"

The viewers in the livestream, no matter where they came from, all started typing "GODS".

"Ah……

In the LCK commentator's booth, the Roaring Emperor Quan Yongjun listened to the arena's cheers and let out a heavy sigh,

"It's over."

"SKT's dream of consecutive championships ended today with a period."

"Although it's hard to accept, we must admit that G2, especially their jungler Firrrrrre, performed today indeed better than us."

"We actually hoped to reverse the score, but it's a pity that when SKT gained a huge advantage in the third game, and we thought the match would proceed as everyone predicted toward a three‑one line……

"Firrrrrre, this terrifying player who came from the LPL but joined the European team's jungler, with a kick surpassing human limits, overturned the scoreboard.

"We all know that an SKT at 1‑2 is the hardest to beat.

"But obviously, Firrrrrre simultaneously shattered SKT's confidence while boosting his teammates' morale, so we can see that in the final game, their mid laner Perkz was also able to step forward, he snatched Faker's most skilled clockwork apparition and dealt SKT the finishing blow……

"Today's SKT is actually not in bad shape; nobody made a fatal mistake, everyone performed very well, each player tried extremely hard……

So the bullet comments all frantically spammed "Blank".

Just then the venue camera focused on the stage; G2's members, having shaken hands, walked toward the center amid the crowd's cheers, while behind them in the SKT players' bench, SKT's members, including coach Kkoma, clustered around the mid lane position.

Faker sat in his seat, hands propping his forehead, also covering his eyes, his shoulders trembling nonstop.

Kkoma gently patted Faker's shoulder, silent without words.

Blank stood behind everyone holding a mouse, head lowered, not daring to look at anyone; as the camera slowly pushed in, it was easy to see that Blank's whole body was shaking.

G2's members bowed in thanks, waving their hands as they turned, escorted by their teammates, walking toward the backstage while the live audience chanted in unison "Let'sgoG2".

In the LPL livestream, the cut switched to the commentator's desk.

"Congratulations, G2!"

Guan Zeyuan spoke first.

Afterward, he remembered to shout:

"Congratulations, LPL's fourth seed!"

Having shouted that, he quickly added:

"Hahaha, just kidding, folks—don't mind it. Congratulations, G2, congratulations to Europe's number one seed! Under everyone's witness, despite nobody expecting them to win beforehand, they defeated SKT led by the Demon King, becoming the winners of this semifinal, which also means they will face ROX at the peak! I have to say, in my personal view, this is almost a miraculous result!"

Su Xiao Yan smiled:

"Indeed it can be called a miracle; truly nobody expected them to win, and probably everyone will have to reconsider their view of the European team—they really do have strength."

Guan Zeyuan steered the topic:

"Speaking of strength, let's talk about something concrete—what do you all think about how well G2's performance today matched their pre‑match interviews?"

"What pre‑match interview?"

"Just trash talk, promotional videos and such."

"Oh, you mean Jiao Shen's line about bringing a revolution to the world?"

"Yes, and other things."

"He remembered, rubbing his chin, lost in thought."

"Su Xiao Yan pondered and then said:"

"If we talk about revolution……from the perspective of hero selection, I think there should be no problem; just this Vi+Titan double lock‑head system is enough to change the whole match's BP layout, unfortunately it was too effective, in the later games SKT put Vi on a fixed ban slot, so we didn't get to see much, but actually from the first game you could tell, the setup G2 brought out is indeed very strong."

"So what do you think ROX will do when they reach the finals?"

"Um… I think ROX will first try to practice it themselves; if they can master it, they'll use it as a replacement; if they can't, they'll probably, like SKT, choose to give him a fixed ban slot."

"Yes, also I think, compared to today's SKT, when ROX faces G2 later they'll actually have an advantage that SKT doesn't have: the Leopard Woman."

"Leopard Woman?"
