LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 381 Unstoppable Force! An Unstoppable Trend!
There is a huge gap between EDG and WE. No matter how hard they try, there is no hope of winning the game.

What people fear most is having no hope.

With high morale and everyone going on a killing spree, EDG officially started the third game, and 957 was completely crushed in this game.

Everyone on EDG's side, from humans to dogs, wanted to come to the top lane and bully him when he picked Aatrox. Flandre even picked Irelia for the first time.

This is EDG's calculation!
Saint Gun's proficiency with Irelia is currently only passable, average. It's usable against average teams, but he wouldn't easily choose it against top-tier teams.

But he wanted to use the demoralized WE team to boost Flandre's Irelia stats and give the other two teams a false impression.

My top laner Flandre's Irelia is amazing! You guys better not let him play her easily, or you'll definitely suffer.

Being able to deceive the opponent and secure a ban is enough to help EDG relieve some of the pressure in the draft phase.

Especially when facing the IG team.

IG's champion pool is too deep, so EDG needs to be more strategic in the draft phase to gain more benefits.

"Hey, is Flandre's Irelia planning to go head-to-head with Leg's Aatrox? Are they about to have their first real one-on-one duel?"

Miller was full of anticipation, "But Flandre still has some savings, and it's hard to say if his equipment is slightly outdated."

Before Flandre went on stage, he had already received instructions from the coach to let him feel free to show off his skills, since the team had three match points and there was no need to be afraid of losing the game.

He used his Q skill "Blade Impact" to jump over minions, stacking passive layers and closing the distance with Aatrox.

As a result, he turned around and used Q to create distance and avoid the outer edge of Aatrox's Q1. Then he immediately used Q on the ranged minion to get in front of Aatrox.

And during the process, it secretly pulled the "Double Blade" attack, which 957 quickly avoided with an E.

This is exactly what Irelia wanted!
Irelia unleashed her ultimate ability. Although Aatrox's E skill can be charged twice, it cannot be used consecutively without a break. After being used once, the skill will be in a brief unusable state.

After the ultimate hit, Irelia didn't rush to use her Q. Instead, she patiently waited in place for a moment because Aatrox was jumping and using Q2 in place before Irelia finally used her Q.

Then, by continuously moving and auto-attacking, he adjusted his position. The Aatrox used E followed by Q3, but it missed!

Of course, it could also be attributed to Flandre's excellent positioning, which allowed him to twist the target!
In any case, it's a case of Aatrox missing all three parts of his Q. Once the outer ring of Aatrox's Q skill doesn't hit, the damage it deals is almost negligible.

If the outer ring is completely empty, it's equivalent to having all skills depleted.

Irelia stacked her passive to the max and kept dealing damage with auto-attacks, leaving Aatrox helpless!

He was quickly reduced to a "floating corpse" state by Irelia, who then immediately used her Q to chase after him and complete a solo kill on Aatrox!

EDG ultimately ended the game in 26 minutes!
Three to zero!

WE didn't steal a single victory.

During the post-match interview, Yu Shuang invited Wang Yao onto the stage and asked him a question:
"After you, IG and RW will also be vying for a spot in the finals. Can you tell us who you think will win?"

"IG, right?" Wang Yao said with a smile.

"Oh? Does Kshine think IG is stronger?" Yu Shuang asked with a smile.

"That's understandable."

Wang Yao smiled and nodded, adding, "Last time during the regular season, we almost fell to IG. This time, I hope we can finish them off even faster."

"To paraphrase Fiora, I crave worthy opponents!" The next day!
The showdown between IG and RW has officially begun!
The entire EDG team watched it immediately, eager to know the result.

IG is still the same as always, coming out with an unreasonable combination of attacks.

RW's response was also excellent. After all, RW is considered a club in the LPL league with both their mid and bot lane carries being quite strong.

But in the end, they still suffered a slight loss.

First up is Sima Laozei in the bottom lane.

Sima Laozei is a traditional type of ADC and is not interested in the Diudiu Monster bot lane, so he doesn't use him much.

This gave Yu Wenbo a huge advantage in terms of hero pool, and the bottom lane mage carry became a point for IG to seize the advantage.

Secondly, it's still in the jungle.

RW's jungler Flawless, who was brought in this year, did perform very well during the regular season, but in the playoffs, a high-intensity competition where teams were locked in a fierce battle and targeted each other, he was outmatched.

I still lack experience.

Prince Ning has a big heart, is a bit of a show-off, and has a strong desire to perform. The bigger the occasion, the less he frets and the better he performs.

In this meta that focuses on the top half of the map, IG's top and jungle synergy is better, and RW doesn't have many good countermeasures.

They were then dragged into a chaotic battle by IG, and were defeated by IG's richer experience in chaotic battles!
The current version of League of Legends is a zero-sum game.

IG excels at these kinds of small-scale skirmishes in the early game. After all, their players are individually skilled and have great micro-management abilities. When it comes to showing off their skills, IG is not afraid of any team.

Furthermore, the removal of the Sightstone and Green Jungle Item in the current version has already resulted in insufficient vision.

Aside from team fights over fixed resources like the Rift Herald and Baron Nashor, skirmishes can easily break out in the jungle.

In an encounter, neither side is prepared or on guard, and there is no way to arrange their formations in advance. They can only rely on the players' own strength, team battle instincts, and intuition to participate in the battle.

This is precisely what IG excels at.

It can be said that the current IG team is not only at its peak due to the players' competitive level and champion pool, but also related to the environment created by the version that has more early-game conflicts.

In other words, IG is in a version that is very suitable for them to perform well.

"Everyone says Riot Games will try their best to weaken the champion teams, and now it's IG's turn?" Meiko couldn't help but complain.

"I bet even Fist's head's buzzing," Holy Gun joked. "Didn't Old Wang escape unscathed because of this?"

Riot Games does indeed nerf the playstyles of championship teams, and they have done so.

Last year, EDG used the same system as other teams, which was the Ardent Censer system, which revolved around the bottom lane, while the top, mid, and jungle players were all utility players.

This creates the illusion that EDG won the championship because of their bot lane, with Wang Yao's excellent performance leading the team to defeat the Korean team!

In subsequent versions, Riot Games did indeed nerf the bot lane severely, including various utility champions!
But Wang Yao changed positions, so the nerfs to ADCs had no effect on him at all.

And so does IG!

Last year's World Championship version was actually not conducive to the performance of top players like TheShy and Rookie. Forced to choose support heroes, they were unable to unleash their full potential.

However, Riot's changes have allowed IG to benefit from the patch in Season 8, making them the only team capable of defeating EDG!
