Chapter 299: This achievement should be credited to SKT

In the two seconds before ROX's big crystal was blown up by the super minion, ROX's mid and bottom laners had already given up struggling, standing like wooden posts at the bottom of Quan Shui.

The leopard woman again made a move from outside Quan Shui, hitting the ember hiding at the bottom of Quan Shui; at this moment ROX's big crystal had only a sliver of health left, the on-site casters were already cheering congratulations to G2, and the leopard woman also turned back, and everyone thought they wouldn't go up again.

But just at this moment, the leopard woman suddenly changed direction, lunging into Quan Shui, a W flash spanning nearly a thousand yards, directly from outside Quan Shui pouncing onto the ember's body.

This is a level 18 leopard woman with a six-item build and Lich Bane.

And the ember only had just over two thousand health.

Upon landing, a QE combo, the ember fell before the leopard woman's statue that had already turned golden.

The next moment, ROX's Ji Di exploded.

"Wow!!!"

"Instantly!!!"

"And they're not dead yet! Quan Shui is very invulnerable, but golden body is true invulnerability! This leopard woman golden statue is so cool!!!"

"Congratulations G2!!!"

"2-0!!!"

"No one expected! The LCK's First Seed, highly favored by the world, the super championship favorite ROX, would actually lose two games in a row to G2!!"

"At this moment, ROX is already standing on the edge of a cliff!"

"But G2 holds three match points, and the Summoner's Cup is already within reach for them; we are likely to witness history, a historic turning point of Europe's rise!"

In the LPL livestream room, dense barrage comments filled the entire screen.

【G2 is really strong!】

【Quan Shui golden body is so cool!】

【Listen to me, let the two chase… chase dreams!】

【Surely it won't really be 3-0, right?】

【Now EU is greater than everything.】

【Mom yay, Europe is going to win the championship?】

【Dreaming back to S1.】

【Over in Europe, they're probably having a blast.】

【Whether it's exciting or not, imagine replacing G2 with RNG and think how crazy the dog fans would be; multiply that by ten and you get the current mood of Europeans.】

At the moment ROX's crystal exploded, Europe's caster Drakos roared to the heavens:

"Five years! Five years! We have finally returned to the pinnacle of the world!"

The beside caster quickly pulled Drakos down:

"No no no, we haven't won yet! There's still one game, stay calm!"

"How could we lose after opening 2-0? Don't stay calm, open the champagne, Sjokz!"

The camera cut to the commentator desk, and Sjokz really picked up a bottle of champagne from below, running out in high heels with a clip-clop sound, pulling out a bottle opener from somewhere:

"I think Drakos is right, so let's…"

"Let's celebrate!"

Bang!

The champagne bottle cap burst open, white foam spraying out.

In the livestream room, Europe's audience went wild.

The camera cuts to the scene: G2 Zhong Ren, riding a train, jump and hop off the stage, delighted, while on ROX's side, heads hung low, spiritless, none dared to lift their eyes to the audience stands, for fear of being killed by the angry on-site fans.

Of course, most of the people on site were G2 supporters; nearly all the spectators stood up, using chants of "LetsgoG2" to send G2 Zhong Ren backstage.

On a certain cat platform, streamer Liu mou leaned back in the gaming chair, mist swirling around obscuring their face, only to hear them slowly speak:

"Ya'er, it looks like G2 is really going to win the championship."

"The Hexagon Jungler is too strong; Xiao Huasheng was directly abused to the point of being unable to live normally, and now the top jungler must be replaced."

"Who should get this MVP? If we give it to the Hexagon Jungler, that would lock in the FMVP, since the first game already gave it to them."

"I estimate they'll leave some suspense, likely giving it to AP."

"AD is also possible, because this game's female sniper output is indeed high."

"But it seems giving it to the support is also fine; the Bull Head's several initiations were pretty good."

"As for Jia ke zhang, this game's Kennen presence isn't strong, and they haven't really gotten much top lane screen time. That said, Jia ke zhang playing against the world's top laner Smeb and performing like this is truly beyond my expectation; previously they lost a game to Duke, who isn't as strong as Smeb, yet they managed to hold their own in lane, showing they've also improved."

In the barrage, someone mocked:

【Have they already started splitting the FMVP?】

Liu mou glanced at that barrage comment and gave a soft chuckle twice,

"No one would still think ROX could make it a 2-3 comeback now, right?"

"Let me tell you the truth: G2's performance in these two games shows their overall strength is absolutely greater than ROX's; why do you know?"

"This achievement should be credited to SKT."

"After going through SKT, the entire G2 team changed; this is something easy to see, it directly elevated them, you know?"

"You wouldn't know if you haven't played professionally, but many times success or failure hinges on that one gate; if you pass it, then… you know what I mean, but if you don't, you fall back into the mud, losing all spirit, and no amount of help can lift you up."

"Jiao Shen has always been strong; I said long ago that this person is an ultimate invincible genius, a hammer that beats even the former Peppa Pig's mother, but I previously didn't think G2 would win the championship, just because their teammates were a bit lacking, mainly the top laner and bottom laner."

"But now it's different; Jiao Shen's one kick directly leveled up G2, damn it!"

"Without exaggeration, G2 might have originally had the strength to make Worlds, or with a bit of luck could have reached the quarterfinals; it's the Hexagon Jungler who brought them to this height."

At this point someone said:

【Then why don't you hurry up and buy it, let them help you bring YM into the LPL?】

Liu mou was directly amused:

Are you kidding, brother? Buy him to help me get YM into LPL?

I'll just say this: next year, whoever can buy this jungler will definitely make the S7 top eight, and a team with a slightly stronger base will at least make the semifinals.

Pi Pi Zhu makes a bit of money from streaming, but I really can't afford someone like that. Stop teasing me, brother—you're insulting all the rich people in the world.

I don't know who in the LPL can afford him; maybe EDG, but 4396 hasn't retired yet, so it's unlikely EDG would buy him—I don't know about anyone else.

At the same time, on a certain section of the stands, three men with Oriental faces were gathered together, whispering and discussing.

We're about to win the championship... Lu Wenjun, do we really have enough money?

Money isn't the problem; I'm willing to smash pots and sell iron, but the problem is...

What's the problem?

G2 might not be willing to let him go.

Haven't we already checked that he only signed a six-month contract?

It's not about the contract.

Lu Wenjun looked around at the nearby stands, paused, and then said:

Look at this popularity—do you think the G2 boss would dare to let him go?

Now, even if Ka Luo Si is willing to let him go, public opinion will force him to keep the player bound to that G2 war chariot, otherwise he'll be drowned in spit.

What should we do then?!

I don't know either; let's do our best and leave the rest to fate.

There's not much I can give everyone for the holiday; I worked overnight and got up early to write three chapters—wishing everyone a happy New Year!
