Chapter 700

At the moment the match ended, the piglets were excited to tears.

【EDG!】

【Awesome!!!】

【Not giving up on EDG is really great, waa…】

【Knowing shame and then becoming brave, EDG, I have forgiven you.】

【Look, EDG wants to win, it's all thanks to the little junior! The fact shows that without Mingkai, EDG's strength isn't affected; even without Mingkai, we can still beat LCK!】

【Scout really performed well this game, but please don't praise one and belittle another!】

The viewers who watched the live broadcast also, in the first moment, brought the good news to friends on the forums who were at work and had no time to watch the match, as well as to Pupu friends, Brother Bo, etc.

【We won! EDG crushed Samsung!】

【It took over thirty minutes to win, can't really call it a crush.】

【Didn't watch the match? From start to finish, Scout completely dominated the Crown, chasing them like a dog; if that's not a crush, what is?】

【In this game, every EDG member performed well, except Mouse……】

【Although Mouse was invisible the whole game, the MVP must go to him.】

【Right, right, MVP goes to Big Tree.】

【The MVP must go to Scout, ah! The little junior burned out this game, he's too fierce!】

【Three-zero! We are the first region!】

No one knows who said it first, maybe everyone thought so; in any case, the hashtag #LPL First Region# quickly rose to the hot search, but unfortunately it wasn't first; today's top hot search, which appeared after the second match where VG finished against SKT, was——

#Xiao Huasheng shows dog tag, suffers brutal beating#

Hmm.

However, in this atmosphere of universal celebration, there is still a small portion of netizens who aren't that happy; indeed, they are the ones whose home team finished the finals without ever showing their face—60e.

When the EDG members returned to the lounge, vigorous and high-spirited, Homme could only offer his blessings with a bitter smile, his heart filled with emotion.

Upon learning that EDG's opponent was Samsung, Redmi had already sentenced EDG to death in his heart; but who would have thought, family, EDG actually won!

There's nothing to be done; reality always surprises.

"Wuhu! We won~~~ We are the first region!"

"What are you staring at? Come on!"

Before the crystal exploded, A Bu could barely pretend to be calm, sitting honestly in his chair, but at the moment the crystal exploded, he finally couldn't hold back, jumped up, waved his hand to call his brothers together onto the stage to celebrate.

Although this match was played by EDG, the victory belongs to the entire LPL, so the trophy presentation naturally had all four teams go on stage together.

The four teams rushed out the door in a swarm; the lounge, originally packed with people, instantly emptied, leaving only Wensen and a few off-staff members behind.

Although Wensen doesn't belong to any team, as the LPL's overall manager he actually also has the right to go on stage to celebrate.

Having won the match, Wensen was of course also happy and excited, but he felt that this moment's glory should belong to the youngsters who fought on the battlefield; he didn't want to go up and compete for exposure with those heroes who had fought to the death and exerted great effort, so he chose to stay behind.

"Really nice……"

Wensen watched the LPL players on the big screen rushing onto the stage, hugging EDG's players and jumping around; his heart felt both emotion and immense satisfaction.

This is why he loves his job so much, and also why, when his superiors initially asked him to lead the team on expedition, he agreed without hesitation.

Isn't it all for this moment?

Three-zero LCK!

LPL is booming!

……

Colored confetti rained down from above, and the text on the venue's big screen changed from "EDGWin" to "LPL3：0LCK".

The LPL players on stage, each radiant and beaming with joy.

"LPL is awesome! We are the champions!"

Miller shouted excitedly a few more times, then let out a breath, and before the trophy‑presentation moment arrived, he chatted with his two commentator partners:

"It's so awesome, three‑zero LCK! It's like a dream; for me today might be the happiest day of the whole year."

"Hey! You can't say that!" Guan Zeyuan waved his hands repeatedly, "There's still the S7 World Championship later; its value is much higher. When our LPL teams win the championship then, won't you be even happier?"

"Uh… haha, sorry, my… my." Miller laughed freely, but deep down he subconsciously felt that the World Championship trophy… is too far from the LPL.

Even if VG performed ferociously this year, almost invincible, but teams that did well in the regional league and MSI yet suddenly collapsed at the most crucial World Championship—haven't we seen enough of those over the years?

For example, EDG in S4, EDG in S5, EDG in S6……

VG, could it be the special one?

Hard to say, mainly because this year's VG is too similar to S5's LGD……

The pessimism about the future slightly dulled the joy of this victory; Miller lifted his head to look at the live scene on the screen, and roared with a clenched fist as if venting:

"Raise the cup! LPL! Victory belongs to us!!!"

The Intercontinental Confrontation Tournament also has a championship trophy.

But rather than calling it a trophy, it's more like a medal, or a plaque, because it's essentially a black base with the Asia Confrontation Tournament logo inlaid; even with the lights turned up full, it has no shine, looking low‑brow and shabby.

Figure: 2017 Asia Confrontation Tournament award……plate.

Industry insiders naturally understand; the organizer is the poor LMS region, and the trophy is their doing—just managing to hold the event smoothly is already not bad, so expectations can't be too high.

LPL viewers weren't happy about it, and the barrage was full of complaints.

【This trophy is too… whatever……】

【Is LMS really that poor? They don't even bother making a trophy?】

【This damn thing is just the Intercontinental Tournament logo?】

【To be honest, doesn't it feel like a tombstone……】

【This plaque really matches my stereotype of the LMS region】

However, when that medal was held high by someone, the viewers in the LPL livestream again generously overlooked this little displeasure, and the entire livestream screen was once again filled with 'LPL is awesome'.

The LPL team has dozens of members; naturally it's impossible for everyone to come together to lift the trophy, so they ultimately chose a representative to hold up the plaque.

Speaking of seniority, among the four teams, the player most qualified to represent LPL in lifting the trophy is undoubtedly Clearlove or Uzi; however, strangely, each had their own reasons, and surprisingly neither came to participate in the Intercontinental Tournament, while the remaining people were actually not much better.

So in the end, Liang Yan came.
