Chapter 60

8-0, QG's winning streak continues!

It's insane—who could possibly stop them?

Also thanks to Flash Wolf, they're still 5 wins after this match.

………

So strong!

Hotel, SKT training room.

Led by Kkoma, the SKT coaching staff watched the match live in its entirety.

One is an undefeated record, ranking first.

One had double-killed them in the group stage.

Both teams are opponents that SKT highly values.

I thought it would be a tense showdown, but I didn't expect it to be such a completely one-sided scene.

The male gunner controlled the entire match's pace; FW was led by the nose the whole time, with no chance to fight back.

XDM, I can't believe this guy is a newcomer who just debuted…

The SKT coaching staff chattered away.

They came to scout the enemy, but ended up realizing they were wasting time—QG didn't reveal anything.

It's not a total loss; after watching this match we can at least say that FW's mid lane is like Ryze, and the Caitlyn play is also not as good as CLG's.

Kkoma summed it up.

In his view, QG is the top rival and Flash Wolf the second.

Being able to spot some of Flash Wolf's weaknesses is also a gain.

He paused, and this SKT head coach looked at his prized player: 'Xingxiong, what do you think?'

It's exaggerated—getting five dragons in 30 minutes…

Bengi was still immersed in the match.

As a veteran jungler, nobody knows better than him what this means.

"Coach, I want to take back my earlier evaluation of him."

Thejungle raised his head, a flicker of doubt in his eyes: 'When I first came to China, after practicing with him I thought this guy was just a weaker version of Peanut—he had decent jungle development and dared to make plays like other young players, but that was all.'

"Keep going, say more." Kkoma crossed his arms, listening intently.

"Simply put, I think he lacks map control—that's a common flaw among new junglers; he can farm, execute, and gank, but he can't control the map, so he easily gets lost once the game reaches mid‑stage.

Bengi pressed his lips: 'But in that match just now he slapped me in the face—this guy not only can control the map, he does it even better than many veteran players.'

"Unbelievable—achieving this right after debut, he's practically a monster of the ages."

"Stronger and more well‑rounded than Peanut!"

In just a few days, the double crown's evaluation of Xu Dongmen flipped completely.

Group stage day one: I didn't think he was that strong.

Group stage day four: A monster of the ages!

"He's indeed strong; we can be sure that if QG swapped their jungler, they wouldn't be much stronger than the other two teams."

Kkoma agreed with his disciple's view.

The other two teams he referred to are CLG and FW, who have already secured the semifinal spots.

"How enviable our Professor Pu Longyun is—he's as lucky as I am, running into a monster of the ages the moment he entered League of Legends."

Kkoma teased in a joking tone.

Bengi smiled, turned his head to look at that back figure training in front of the screen.

The historical-level monster the coach spoke of—there's no one else but this guy.

Sanghyuk, is it more fun playing against me or against Blank?

"But you don't need to worry too much; we lost the match the past two days only because we hadn't adapted yet. I think our current state is already enough to defeat any team, including QG."

Kkoma said firmly: "I believe that as long as we defeat them once, they will be completely crushed by us; even if we meet again in the knockout stage, there's nothing to fear."

"An invincible streak is certainly frightening, but no one can stay undefeated forever!"

Bengi nodded.

The coach's predictions have always been accurate, and his strategic vision is top-notch.

His ability outshines everyone else; from a map-control jungler not known for mechanics, he became Thejungle, largely thanks to the coaching staff.

"Tomorrow is our match against QG; this game is very important—we need to prepare fully to ensure we perform at our best."

"Did FW come to us for a scrimmage? Sure, we'll scrimmage them tonight; this team has some playstyles worth learning from."

……

"Did Lightning Wolves cancel our scrimmage?"

In the QG training room, Xu Dongmen and the others had just returned to the hotel when they got this news.

They wanted to set up a scrimmage with Lightning Wolves, but were politely turned down.

"There's no need to look for SKT either; tomorrow's the match, they definitely wouldn't want to play us."

"What about CLG? Is CLG scrimming with G2? Then it seems only the wild card remains..."

"Forget it, let's play a few more ranked games tonight."

On the final night of the group stage, the teams ranked 2nd through 5th had scrimmages.

Only the 1st and 6th place teams had a bye.

"Wait, let me ask in the group to see if any domestic teams have ended their break."

Lin Ke pulled out his phone.

It's a pity, all teams are still on vacation; even if we could gather enough people, they'd all be misfits.

They're either substitutes or need to train new recruits.

Playing practice matches with such teams would easily ruin one's form.

It's fine, we can just play ranked; free training is also good.

Xu Dongmen wasn't worried.

Coincidentally, he had thought of a brand-new mid-jungle combo and wanted to test its effectiveness with Doinb.

Huh? Titan? Really?

Upon hearing that name, Da B's eyes lit up, both surprised and delighted.

The surprise was that the current version had no mid lane Titan option; the delight was that he had used Titan in mid lane during last summer's split and won both games.

Back then, it dropped jaws everywhere!

Let's try it first.

Xu Dongmen chuckled: 'Whether it works or not isn't important; mainly I want to see Ying Bi Ge play Titan.'

Steamed? I'm telling you, Dongmen, you've got great vision!

Da B, give him some sunshine and he shines: 'My Titan is no brag—I was the first to play mid lane Titan in the LPL, even pawn is imitating me...'

OK, OK...

Xu Dongmen and Doinb's dual lane kicked off, while UZI and Heavenly Disaster Apocalypse were also intensely practicing female police and other heroes on the national server.

On the other side, the coaching staff led by Pu Longyun were preparing for tomorrow's match.

Everyone performed their duties, orderly and smooth!

Lin Ke became the idle one.

He pulled out his phone and opened that familiar avatar.

【Damn, I just saw the starting lineup, tomorrow it's still Blank as expected.】

【The group stage only has one day left; are the coaches really not planning to give any playing time at all?】

【Kkoma is going too far; they fundamentally don't respect you, come to the LPL next season.】

【84】【What about Xiang He? Why isn't Xiang He speaking?!】

【Xiang He? Why isn't Xiang He speaking!】

【Ha, nitpicking!】
