Post-Match Live Broadcast: The Unfortunate Couple

[Mission Complete: Congratulations, host, for defeating IG]

[Divine Synchronization Increased by 5%, Currently at 10%]

[The god-like player overcomes his fear of the LPL, securing the LPL's first victory; mentality +5.]

[Unlock heroes with max proficiency: Jarvan IV, Rumble.]

[Receive 1 Mental Debuff Removal Trial Card, which can remove the mental debuff from a God-level character, limited to one match.]

[Lee Sang-hyeok achieved a 2-0 sweep and was named MVP of the match, receiving a cash prize of 150,000 yuan.]

Lin Xiu immediately took out his phone, and sure enough, 150,000 yuan had appeared out of nowhere in his bank account.

Damn, that's a lot of money!

Swipe your right hand to bring up the panel.

Lin Xiu: 21 years old

[Performance: 64 (+10) points (LPL second-tier level)]

[Awareness: 81 points (+10 points) (Top LPL level)]

[Mindset: 100 points (World-class level)]

Lin Xiu was overjoyed.

at last!

My skill level has finally reached the level of a second-tier jungler in the LPL.

The advantage of game understanding, which was originally hampered by skill level,

Finally, I can give it my all!

Swipe right again to reveal Faker's profile.

Lee Sang-hyeok: 21 years old

[Performance: 100 points (World-class level)]

[Awareness: 100 points (World-class level)]

[Mental state: 100 (-80) points (Broken Dao heart)]

His operational awareness remains top-notch, and although his mentality has improved by five points, he's still just average.

Fortunately, after playing against IG, Lin Xiu discovered the pattern of Faker's debuff.

As long as the opponent isn't in Faker's roster, Faker's mentality won't affect his skill level or awareness.

During the last intra-team scrim, even Meiko, a secondary ID featured in the team's roster, caused Faker's mentality to drop from 100 points to 55 points.

And Baolan, who plays for IG today, is actually the champion player of IG in S8.

However, because he was just a sideline member of the championship-winning team and never had a memorable performance against Faker, he is not included in Faker's profile.

Therefore, it will not affect Faker's mentality.

The system didn't display any notifications about Faker's mental state fluctuating throughout the entire game, indicating that his mentality remained stable at 100%.

As for players like Kid and Marge who primarily play in domestic leagues, they have absolutely no chance of having any impact on Faker.

Who the hell are you?

Therefore, looking back at the LPL in Season 7, only RNG and EDG likely had a "father" (referring to a player known for his exceptional skills).

EDG has Clearlove and Meiko, but now that Faker is with EDG, there's naturally no chance for them to face off.

The only team that would make this mid-jungle duo give them a wide berth is RNG.

However, EDG and RNG will inevitably face off in the Spring Split playoffs a month later, and it will be a best-of-five series.

He only had one experience card for removing the mindset debuff.

If Faker in this form were to face RNG in a best-of-five series, the outcome would be predictable.

Not only could it lead to a tragic wire explosion,

It could even destroy the little confidence he has just regained.

After all, Faker almost collapsed when he met Clearlove during the interview. If he actually saw Uzi and Xiaohu, wouldn't he faint on the spot?

At that time, people would think he was resting with his eyes closed.

In fact, he had been dead for a while.

Therefore, the optimal solution at present is to form a mid-jungle rotation mechanism with Scout and Aiolos.

He delivered the decisive blow in the decisive game between RNG and EDG!

Lin Xiu took a deep breath. Since that's the case, then let's wait for EDG to run into problems again before asking the two of them to come out of retirement.

Shortly after the live stream started, its popularity soared to the top of the entire site.

The match has just ended, and major esports media outlets and independent media personalities are frantically sharing highlights of today's game.

However, the live stream chat was surprisingly focused more on Faker's post-match interview.

[Zhen Huan returns to the palace! The Dragon King returns!]

[Brother Li! Explain yourself! Are you really a fan of Xiaohu? Or have you been kidnapped?]

[If you're being kidnapped, just blink!]

[Brother Li, how much did Xiaohu give you? I, Rookie, will pay double!]

Is it a skewer or not? I'm chicken giblets, I'm so anxious!

Why does Faker praise Xiaohu so much? He can even beat Rookie!

And questions about EDG's management.

[Lin Gou, look at EDG's official Weibo! Scout and Airoli will be starting again in the next match against OMG? Is that true?]

[Has Abu lost his mind? They crushed IG 2-0, and this mid-jungle performance doesn't qualify him to continue starting?]

[Did Scout do something backstage? I noticed his expression was off when he left the stage.]

Lin Xiu glanced at the comments but didn't give a direct answer.

Instead, Faker saw the last comment and peeked out to say:

"Skewers? What are skewers? And what does 'chicken giblets' mean?"

"I really like Xiaohu. Isn't he much better than Rookie?"

[Rookie can even make a tiger poop out of its shell, so he's much stronger?]

[Damn, case closed. That bastard is definitely a mixed breed. Even as a Royal Never Give Up fan, I wouldn't dare say Xiaohu is much better than Rookie.]

Lin Xiu casually clicked on a video that was reviewing today's match.

The video freezes on the moment when he ganked Rookie at level two and used E-flash to control him.

"Don't spread rumors. Rotation is a normal part of club operations."

"As for Xiaohu, he's still considered the best domestic mid-laner, so don't talk nonsense, okay?"

Lin Xiu calmly acted as the narrator while dragging the progress bar.

"Look at this play, we actually planned it beforehand. Faker sacrificed one level in lane and leveled up W."

"So in this wave of my attack, his taunt was followed by Camille's hook, which extended the control time. Otherwise, the damage would definitely not be enough within the control time."

Lee Sang-hyeok, sitting upright beside him, looked at his own Galio on the screen and earnestly corrected him:

"No, Lin, it's mainly because your E-Flash was well-timed. Syndra was deliberately timing her Flash."

"Your reaction speed was too fast this time. If you had controlled it, I would definitely have been able to execute all of these moves."

This mutual attribution between the two calmed the viewers in the live stream down somewhat.

Some people have even started shipping this mid-noir duo.

[They admire each other, how come it's a bit like shipping?]

[Haha, if you win, of course you'll kowtow; if you lose, you'll curse them as two stray dogs on the street.]

How can this not be considered a romantic relationship? A pair of star-crossed lovers, stuck together watching the water dispenser at the base.

Immediately afterwards, the live chat started flooded with discussions about the next match against OMG.

Even if EDG loses to RNG, they'll still be second in their group, and I think they should have no problem beating OMG.

[Let me tell you, Scout's mentality is definitely messed up right now. Whether he can beat Cool is really a question!]

Indeed, Cold Young Master is now the league's solo kill king, a super killer!

[What kind of dog is this, Cold Shao? I don't know if Scout can beat Rookie, but playing against a mid laner who's only in his second year as a professional player, isn't that stomping a noob?]

Still questioning a newcomer? This rookie mid laner completely dominated Rookie today!

After reading the comments, Lin Xiu quickly searched for information about Leng Shao online.

S7's Cold Young Master, in his second year since debut, is full of vigor and ambition.

His handsome appearance is quite different from that of LPL professional players.

A defiant gaze,

The large, subtly visible blue dragon floral sleeve

One glance reveals an aura of power.

Combined with his aggressive playstyle, which is known for its ability to single-handedly defeat monsters, and the rumors of his background as a super-rich second-generation heir,

He's practically the future face of the league, a super-potential rising star.

But Lin Xiu only found it amusing, as memories from S11 suddenly flooded back.

He was repeatedly solo-killed by poor European and American mid laners.

Playing MAD (Magic Dungeon Fighter Online), a mid-lane Irelia player scored 4396 points, paying homage to Clearlove (the former player).

One direct match almost cost me my job.

Cold Young Master?

Cold dishes!
