It's a bit of a shame that Ed Zhu's plan, though ambitious, was destined to fail.
The first match took less than 25 minutes, with HL team taking the lead.
Redmi himself is a champion coach, and his specialty is macro-management. EDG's tactics are derived from macro-management, building up a winning position through small advantages and dragging the game into the late game to take down the opponent in the final wave.
However, this strategy has a major flaw: it requires establishing an advantage in one lane.
How can you even operate when everyone is at a disadvantage?
HL's bot lane duo (ADC: UZI, Support: Ming) played aggressively, putting immense pressure on their opponents, and their mid and jungle players frequently had to come over to protect them.
The player who wanted to gank mid (mid laner: Doinb) was willing to sacrifice his own development to support his teammates, and would often disappear.
The jungler (Xiao Huasheng) invades even more fiercely, demonstrating skillful gameplay and frequently leading groups to rob other junglers.
This made Mingkai very upset.
The only disadvantaged group (top laner: LY), well, EDG doesn't have a top laner.
Then, in the middle of the game, it all collapsed inexplicably.
In Redmi's words, it means that the operation was not learned well. In the eyes of his coach, who is proficient in operation, it is a hodgepodge with loopholes everywhere.
Playing against EDG is much easier than playing against those teams that like to mindlessly engage in fights.
If it really comes down to skill, they're not to be outdone. They're all exceptionally talented young people, so they just get right to work.
EDG's collapse was faster than expected, with the second game being even more dramatic than the first, ending in less than 18 minutes.
Many netizens in the live stream were complaining about this.
"Please, this is the final. Can't you show some respect? He just came back from a phone call and it's already 2-0?"
"Is this some kind of outrageous thing?!"
"They were probably still getting used to their form in the first game, which is why it took so long."
"I was hoping to enjoy a thrilling match with intense competition between the two sides, not this one-sided stomp on noobs."
The chat was filled with all sorts of comments criticizing the EDG team.
Eddie Zhu couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up his phone, pretended to answer a call, and then hurriedly left the scene.
However, he didn't notice that he was holding his phone upside down, and the on-site director mischievously gave him a close-up shot.
Internet users who were surfing the web immediately noticed this situation.
"Now look what happened, even your boss couldn't stand it anymore and just ran away."
"But at least you could have acted like it was real!"
The third game began quickly.
This young team was incredibly excited, especially Xiaogou.
Despite his many years of experience in the League of Legends scene, he has yet to win a decent championship.
Being an uncrowned king sounds good, but not having a championship title is always a regret!
This little bit of excitement caused the puppy's movements to become a bit distorted.
Several times the laning phase almost ended in trouble.
Fortunately, the puppy quickly adjusted its mindset and didn't make the same silly mistake again.
However, this isn't entirely without its advantages. At least it's still the Summer Split finals. If it were the World Championship, they might not be so lucky.
The third game was also won without much trouble.
The moment the opponent's base exploded, everyone on the HL team jumped to their feet as if they had gone mad.
They hugged, laughed, and played around; the scene was truly lively and extraordinary!
In his previous life, the puppy sat here as well, but he was defeated by EDG 3:0 and watched his opponent lift the Silver Dragon Cup while crying.
Now the tables have turned, and HL has shut out their opponent.
At this moment, the hosts Yu Shuang, Gogoing, and Luo Xin walked to the center of the stage and loudly announced: "The champion of the 2016 Summer Season is—team HL!"
At the same time, HL team successfully became the number one seed player for the LOL region.
EDG, the runner-up in both the Spring and Summer Splits, narrowly defeated RNG, the Spring Split champion and Summer Split third-place finisher, to become the second seed, thanks to a slight points advantage.
Finally, unsurprisingly, RNG secured the third seed.
In the past, with RNG's points, securing the No. 2 seed would have been a piece of cake. Who would have thought that a team like HL would emerge this year?
Team HL has had a fantastic year, achieving a remarkable three-stage promotion from LSPL all the way to the World Championship, and even entering the World Championship as the number one seed.
At this moment, the five players of the HL team, along with the coaching staff and three substitute players, excitedly gathered around the Silver Dragon Cup.
Coach Hongmi was still looking around, seemingly searching for the boss's whereabouts.
Zhang Long smiled and said to Li Xue beside him, "Go over there and congratulate them for me, and tell them they don't need to wait for me."
Li Xue naturally had no objections; she would simply go as Zhang Long's representative.
After Li Xue spoke a few words to Hongmi, everyone began a joyful celebration.
The puppy's eyes were already red and swollen, but he didn't shed a tear, which was already a testament to his strength.
The others were no exception; the point of playing professionally was to win a championship!
Next, Redmi and the puppy were interviewed together.
The puppy really showed his emotions, and during the interview, he couldn't hold back his tears several times.
When talking about their boss Zhang Long, he sincerely expressed his gratitude to Zhang Long. Redmi was no exception, and they all flattered their boss in front of the TV to express their loyalty!
Finally, when asked about the World Championship, Redmi, fearing that Uzi might say something crazy or amazing, interjected, "Our team is a newly reorganized team; we're just going there to learn from the advanced experiences."
"I'd be happy as long as we make it out of the group stage."
Well, seeing that he hadn't gotten any explosive statements out of the puppy, the reporter was quite disappointed.
On the other side, Zhang Long was still lamenting that this year's World Championship was being held in America, otherwise he was planning to go and join in the fun.
He had absolutely no desire for that so-called free land. What free America? Gunfights every day!
This is no joke. In his past life, his impression of America could be summed up in one word: chaos!
Everywhere you look there are free purchases, and then it's all gunfights.
A real-life battle royale game with 300 million players—just thinking about it is exciting!
He hasn't enjoyed life enough yet and doesn't want to experience such an exciting life.
