Chapter 287 Don't Be Happy Too Soon
Twenty-three and a half minutes.
The picture freezes.
In the 2017 League of Legends Professional League, Summer Finals, EDG easily defeated the overlord of the other half, RNG, with a score of 3 to 1, adding another highlight to the team's history!
"pretty!"
"NICE! NICE!"
“Awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome!”
“We are the champions!”
Even though all EDG members took off their heavy noise-isolating headphones, the cheers still reached the backstage lounge.
The scene was plunged into a boiling sea.
Countless flashing cheering sticks and light boards were waving, giant banners and flags were also flying, and the shouts seemed to be about to overturn the roof of the venue.
“Congratulations to EDG——”
Wawa stretched out his voice: "This summer season, they had some bumps in the road and almost lost the top spot in the group, but after the two BO5s in the semi-finals and finals, EDG once again told us who is the king of the LPL region!"
"That's right!" Miller took over: "EDG has won the Spring Split, MSI Mid-Season Invitational, and Summer Split championships. They will go to the World Finals as the No. 1 seed of the LPL and make a bid for the Grand Slam of the same year!"
on the screen.
One after another, playback images flashed by.
In the semi-finals, Fiora killed Prince 1v2, Syndra combined six balls into one and cooperated with Riven to kill Vayne instantly, there was a six-pointer in one second and killed a full-blooded big worm by crossing the tower, and there was Ornn 1v3 and killed two people...
Although there are some wonderful shots of Zzaizhang circling the field of vision to catch people and the mid and bottom lanes, most of them are shots of the top laner.
“General’s performance was really outstanding.”
"The more crucial the game, the better his performance is, and his thinking is very imaginative. In the last game, Illaoi and this game, Smite Rumble left RNG completely unprepared and unable to respond."
"This ability to understand is well-deserved to be ranked first."
Wawa was generous with his praise.
"That's right." Miller agreed: "Every time we think we have seen General's strength, General will bring new surprises."
“I think he is only strong in laning phase, but he has shown an exaggerated teamfight ability.”
“I think his hero pool only includes Fiora, Shen, Jayce, and Kled, but he has shown a variety of unique choices.”
"As I said before, General is like an iceberg. What you can see is only a small part above the water. The large part below is invisible to everyone!"
“Actually…” Wawa proposed an idea: “I think General is still growing. After all, he’s only a rookie who debuted for a year!”
Just because you debut is the peak, it doesn’t mean you can’t improve further.
Systematic training, learning, experience accumulation, tactical system running-in, and research can all enable players to go further.
One year.
For most newcomers, they are still in the "learning" stage and have not reached their upper limit.
“It’s true!”
Miller thinks it makes sense: "To be honest, I'm already looking forward to General and the LCK team meeting again!"
On stage.
After celebrating, the EDG players went to the other side and shook hands with RNG.
The rule that the team that eliminates WE will have the last laugh did not break UZI's curse of not having a championship.
But when they came up with the lineup, the RNG players lost faith in winning and felt that unless a miracle happened, there was no way they could win.
Failure is to be expected.
There was no particular breakdown emotionally.
Because of their good personal relationship, they even made an agreement to "see you at the World Finals".
After the handshake.
All EDG members walked to the Silver Dragon Cup.
Compared to the exaggerated style of the new Silver Dragon Cup, the original Silver Dragon Cup is very heavy, with a water wave base and cloud patterns on the top. There are two dragon bodies circling at the handle, winding upward along the trophy.
The dragon head reliefs are on both sides of the trophy, and details such as horns, eyes, whiskers, and teeth are clearly visible , which is low-key yet solemn.
The LPL logo and text are engraved in the center.
Shining brightly under the spotlight.
Abu, Maokai, A Shui, and other logistics members walked onto the stage together, hugged each other and celebrated. The atmosphere was extremely cheerful.
"Let us congratulate the 2017 League of Legends Professional League Summer Season Champion, EDG——"
"Please put on your championship uniforms, team members!"
The host Zhu Zhen, dressed in a white suit, walked out from the side, once again igniting the emotions of the audience.
While waiting for the cheers to die down, the EDG players put on the dark brown championship jackets given by the staff, moved Xing Dao to the middle position, and collectively raised the Silver Dragon Cup above their heads!
This scene was also captured by surrounding cameras and many audience members, becoming a classic picture.
"OK!"
"Next, it will be time to crown the champion!"
"Please invite the EDG players to the front of the stage. Next, the championship bonus will be awarded and the final MVP of the 2017 Summer Season will be announced!"
Zhu Zhen appeared in the camera again: "This scene looks very familiar, because in the 2016 Summer Finals, it was EDG that lifted our championship trophy."
"However, as you can see, of the five award recipients this year, only two are the same as last year."
“That’s our factory manager, Meiko.”
"The other three actually joined EDG and completed the team's re-adjustment and adjustment within a year, and achieved the highest achievement in the LPL region!"
"Next, please let the factory director say a few words to everyone!"
The words fell.
Zhu Zhen handed over the microphone.
The factory manager took it and said: "I am really excited to win the championship again. I am very grateful to my teammates. They have always been united and cohesive. It is also because we have always trusted each other that we can win this championship, so I am very grateful to them!"
Next.
Mike handed it over to iBoy.
iBoy, who always watches the show from the backstage, is also very good at making fun of it: "I feel absolutely no emotion at all, I even want to kiss this trophy again."
The two diametrically opposed statements caused bursts of good-natured laughter.
Meiko's response was relatively routine. He thanked the fans who have always supported the EDG team and thanked his teammates again, which was something that he had always said before.
The more surprising one is Scout.
Other Korean players relied on translation when they went on stage, but Scout was the first to demonstrate fluent Chinese on stage.
The sentence " The five of are too strong" was even pronounced correctly.
at last.
Mike passed it to Xing Dao.
The audience's expectations were raised again.
Since his debut, Xing Dao has been very good at making fun of himself during interviews, but this time, I don’t know what he wants to say.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Xing Dao deliberately cleared his throat, made a prelude of first suppressing and then praising , and then got to the point: "Although we won the summer championship, I think that everyone should not be too happy too soon..."
"We are so happy now, but what will we do when we win the World Finals?"
