After eating, everyone started cleaning up.

Cleaning completed, training resumed.

A moment later, Warhorse came back with a sullen look on his face.

Everyone felt a chill down their spine, especially Hang.

"Train well." In the end, Zhanma did not get angry, but just asked everyone to continue training, which was quite surprising.

Soon, #TESbasehotpot became a hot topic.

The number of comments instantly exceeded 10,000:

[Holy crap? What’s going on? Is TES always so lax? ]

[TES is amazing, I thought you were training hard, is this how you train? ]

[I suddenly feel that being a professional player is so easy. ]

[No, buddies, how could you guys come up with such a big thing? ]

Soon, TES official blog issued a statement

[The hot pot at the base was a program effect that we had discussed with the live broadcast platform. Don’t take it seriously. Thank you for your concern. ]

Seeing this explanation, Lu Yi laughed. Isn't this just trying to cover up the truth?
Sure enough, after the official blog posted this clarification, the internet became overwhelmingly suspicious:
[I didn't believe it at first, but now that you've clarified it, isn't that an admission? ]

【I didn’t expect you guys to be this kind of TES. 】

【The more you describe it, the worse it gets. 】

【Why do I feel like I've been tricked? 】

Lu Yi also saw the interview video from JDG on the Internet.

It forms a perfect contrast with TES.

Inside the JDG training room, everyone is training seriously and meticulously.

There are a lot of scribblings on the tactical blackboard next to it.

As a result, netizens who were originally optimistic about TES turned to JDG.

[JDG is so serious, it would be unjust if they can't win. ]

[I originally supported TES, but now I support JDG. ]

[I also support JDG, the summer season champion! ]

[Is the left hand finally getting revenge? ]

【After the experience of EDG, JDG is different now! 】

Lu Yi was not in a hurry. He knew that the strength of a team could not be completely changed in just a few days.

Moreover, TES training is also very serious, it’s just that they were unlucky today and there were all kinds of coincidences.

A week passed quickly, and the summer season finals began!

At noon, the TES players ate something at the training base. They couldn’t eat too much, otherwise they would feel sleepy. It was enough to fill their stomachs so that they wouldn’t feel hungry.

In the lounge, everyone put their peripherals into their backpacks and got ready.

Warhorse came in and said, "Ten minutes left. We'll set off in ten minutes."

Hang suddenly asked, "Brother, can we win today? Can we win the championship?"

Ah Shui asked back, "You're still asking us? You can win if you don't cheat."

Hang got excited: "Did I cheat? You actually said I cheated, Wenbo, I will never play with you again."

The others couldn't keep up, so Xiaotian teased, "Can you two be more mature like us?"

Shan Ji nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, our Zhong Shangye has to play Kairui every day, it's very tiring."

Ah Shui laughed miserably: "No, you are not ashamed to say such a thing, buddy, you are not mistaken."

Lu Yi said: "Come on, everyone. The first game is especially crucial. As long as we can win the first game, we will basically win."

A moment later, Zhanma came in to remind everyone to set off, so everyone packed their bags and left the training base, got on the car outside, and headed straight for the competition venue.

When passing the entrance of the venue, Hang suddenly shouted:

"There are so many people. Look, there are so many people."

Lu Yi looked over and saw that there were probably thousands of people outside the venue, all holding various cheering signs in their hands, waiting to enter.

Ah Shui muttered, "We seem to have more fans, especially Yi Shen. So many fans? That's cool!"

Lu Yi took a quick glance and found that among them, at least one-third were holding his cheering boards. This number was extremely exaggerated. Many people were supporting the team rather than a specific player.

The car entered the parking lot and stopped. Zhan Ma said:
"When you get off the bus, take everything with you. Don't leave anything behind."

The TES members got off the bus one after another, gathered together and made sure that everyone was there.

Just as everyone was getting ready to go in, suddenly, another bus drove over with the JDG team logo on the body of the bus!
"They are coming." Shan Ji reminded.

Everyone looked over and saw JDG's car stopped in front of TES. The door opened and Kanavi was the first to get out, followed by Hongmi and the other team members.

"Coach Hongmi, nice to see you again." Zhanma took the initiative to shake hands.

Hongmi responded, "Coach Zhanma, please give me your guidance for today's game."

Zhan Ma smiled: "Coach Hongmi, you are too polite. You are much more capable than me."

The coaches on both sides were exchanging pleasantries and the players were interacting with each other.

Ah Shui looked at 369 and asked, "369, what number did you get today? 3 or 6?"

369 replied confidently: "It must be 9, Wenbo, prepare to die. Today I will let you see my true strength."

369’s immature remarks gave everyone in TES goose bumps.

What's going on with this person?
Lu Yi looked at his left hand with a determined look! It seemed that he had indeed obtained something from EDG.

Hope suddenly said, "Yishen, please show mercy, Yishen."

Lu Yi laughed: "Why should we show mercy? We are all the same. If we show mercy, we might lose."

"Oh my god...is that almost the same?" Hope didn't believe it.

369 joined the topic: "Yishen, can I play against you today? Can I come to play top lane?"

This was something Lu Yi had not expected. 369 was very brave.

However, Pheasant Soldier will not attack the middle lane. If he forces a lane change, Left Hand will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.

Indeed, there is no such competition.

At this time, A Shui started to add fuel to the fire: "Yishen, why don't you play top lane? Didn't 369 say that he had bitten level 9 and felt in good shape? Why don't you try it with him and let him see what it means to be in good shape."

Lu Yi was a little speechless. Which side was Ah Shui on? Ah Shui was helping to stir up trouble when the other party was provoking him.

Of course, Lu Yi didn't care: "Okay, I can play top lane, it depends on the situation."

The warhorse was now anxious, and quickly said, "Hey! You guys are just joking, don't take it seriously, it's almost time, let's go in first."

After both sides greeted each other, they entered the competition venue.

Arriving at the lounge, Lu Yi had just put down his bag when Zhan Ma came up and said:

"Yishen, what happened just now was just a joke. You should just play in the middle. There's no need for us to fall for it."

Lu Yi said: "It's okay, I can change my position at will. It doesn't have to be changed. It depends on the situation."

Hearing this, Zhanma suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if this feeling was telling him that it would definitely change!
On the other side, in JDG's lounge.

JDG was also discussing tactics. Kanavi asked curiously, "369, why did you say to let Yishen play top lane? Are you sure?" 369 answered confidently, "I am a professional top laner. If Yishen plays top lane against me, he will most likely suffer. Besides, their top laner will definitely not play mid lane, so Left Hand will be very comfortable at that time."

Kanavi responded: "But I feel like the other side won't be fooled. They're not that stupid."

369 suddenly laughed: "Actually, I think so too. Obviously, 369 is not absolutely sure, he just has this idea."

At the commentary booth at the game, Guan Zeyuan, Wawa and Miller were ready.

Guan Zeyuan explained:

"Okay, audience friends, the 2022 League of Legends Professional League Summer Season Finals is about to begin, with TES facing JDG!"

"There will be a pre-match promotional video before the game begins. After that, the players from both teams will appear. They are the two strongest teams in this summer season. The most powerful are the ten players who deserve all the glory!"

Miller continued: "Yes, judging from the previous records and matches between the two teams, TES is definitely ahead, but the audience should have seen the training video from a week ago."

"TES seems to be inflated. They don't train seriously. Arrogance leads to failure. In comparison, JDG's training is much more disciplined, so I want to vote for JDG now!"

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
[Brothers of JDG, support JDG! ]

[The most supportive one! JDG beat the expansion team! ]

[There is a price to pay for being arrogant! Today is the time for the left hand to take revenge! ]

[The desire to kill is rising! 】

JDG fans are very excited and can’t wait for the game to start.

At the competition venue, the host appeared on stage, and after a brief opening speech, the promotional video began to play.

This promo is just trash talking and attracting hatred before the game.

The first to appear was 369 from JDG, who taunted:

"To be honest, I don't even remember when Shan Ji won the MVP or when he played a good game. Do any of you remember?"

As soon as this was said, it immediately attracted the support of the barrage in the official live broadcast room of the finals:

【It seems like it has never happened once. 】

[He is just a jerk, how could he possibly get the MVP? ]

[You have to ask TES's two CLs, especially Yishen, who got most of the MVPs. ]

[The most frustrating thing about being a teammate with Yishen is that it is very hard to get the MVP. ]

After 369 finished, it was Shanji's turn. Shanji taunted:
"I hope 369 can get 9 by then. Otherwise, I'm worried that after he wins, he can use this as an excuse and refuse to admit his defeat."

Then Hope came up: "I think Jackeylove deserves credit for winning the first S-League championship for LPL. He has made contributions, but now it's S12, and as an old player, he should make way for the young ones."

Ah Shui responded: "The championship is not given up. If you can't win the championship, it only means that your strength is not enough. You can't beg for charity from others."

At this time, in the backstage passage, the TES and JDG players who were preparing to go on stage were a few meters apart, and the noises outside could be heard from here.

Hearing this, everyone in TES felt a little nervous.

Lu Yi teased, "Wenbo, who did you learn these words from? You are so immature."

Ah Shui asked back: "Is it a chuunibyou? I think it's okay."

The promo video continued to play, and when it came to the mid-lane position, Left Hand came first:
"I will prove who is the best mid laner in LPL on the finals stage."

In the official live broadcast room, the barrage instantly exploded:
[Fuck, this is the momentum! This is right! ]

[My left hand looks very energetic today, there's something going on! ]

[Is the Left Hand going to get serious? Is it going to rise? ]

【Today! 】

It was Lu Yi's turn. Lu Yi retorted to Zuo Shou:

"I never need to prove whether I am the best mid laner in LPL, because I am the best in the world."

As soon as these words came out, the barrage was boiling again:

[Exploded and killed! This sentence directly exploded and killed the left hand, turning it into ashes in an instant! ]

[This is too powerful. I feel like my left hand might not be able to handle it.]

[Their pattern determines their ceiling. Zuoshou is definitely not as good as Yishen.]

【Only one can survive today! 】

Then, the jungle position, Kanavi: "I think Xiaotian is a player who is very good at finding teammates. He can always win the game with some very strong teammates."

These words were obviously meant to sarcastically ask Xiaotian to curry favor with someone higher up.

Xiaotian said: "I believe the other members of JDG will be sad to hear you say this."

Counter-kill! What Xiaotian said would embarrass Kanavi. If he said his teammates were not good enough, what would his teammates think?
If he says that his teammates are strong, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

Soon, the promotional video was finished, and at the host's invitation, the contestants from both sides came on stage:

"Let's welcome the JDG team!"

JDG walked to the top of the stage together, and the audience cheered in unison:

"JDG! JDG! JDG!"

"369! It must be 999 today!"

"Left Hand, come on, prove that you are the strongest."

"Kanavi, you are the best jungler in the world!"

The five members of JDG lined up on the stage to accept the welcome from fans.

The host continued to welcome:
"Now, let's welcome the TES team!"

All TES fans cheered in unison:

"TES! TES! TES!"

The cheers were so loud that no other sounds could be heard in the stadium.

The TES members also came to the stage, stood next to the JDG members, and then turned around together, facing each other.

Lu Yi and Zuo Shou faced off again.

After shaking hands, the two teams turned around and walked towards their respective positions.

Lu Yi sat on the chair, put on headphones, and confirmed that all his peripherals were normal.

After all ten players from both sides were ready, the first BP began!

In this game, TES is on the red side and JDG is on the blue side.

During the BAN phase, JDG chose to target the mid lane and banned Lissandra, Fizz and Karthus.

JDG chose to target the jungle position, banning Monkey King, King of the Ruined King, and Wei.

Guan Zeyuan explained: "The bans on both sides target a single position on the other side. This is the only way to be effective. Both players have deep hero pools. Banning a hero is basically useless."

Miller agreed: "That's right, entering the draft stage, JDG on the blue side has Zhao Xin on the first floor. They are very confident in Kanavi, so they should give him a hero that is easy to use first."

The BP continued, and TES got the Captain and Diana on the first and second floors.

Guan Zeyuan was a little surprised to see the captain being locked down, and it was locked down on the first floor:
"Captain of the first floor? Shan Ji is so confident? Why don't I believe it?"

Remember muttered: "It's a bit strange. Shan Ji was always more cautious in previous matches against 369. 369's personal ability is above his, so if he is not careful, he will be easily defeated."

"And this time, Shan Ji was very proactive... Could it be that he found a way to crack 369?"

Miller joked: "Is it because you made such a decision because you were dizzy from eating hot pot?" (End of this chapter)
