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

Chapter 410 Five-game winning streak! Qualifying for the next round and first place in the group!

As for Xiaohu, the mid-laner? Well, opinions on him are mixed.

"Is this player about to enter the game?"

"You're still the same Fei Yi who makes people feel at ease even when you're bad. What's wrong? You can't play anymore when you see Lee Sang-hyeok?"

"I just checked the statistics, and as expected, my Spring Tiger Emperor is once again at the bottom of the rankings, even worse than the mid laners from the wildcard regions."

"You really can't blame Xiaohu, can you? There's an ultimate vampire on the team who can dominate all three lanes by himself. You're the mid laner, and you don't even know how to play the game."

"The bot lane gets so many resources but can't carry, is it because their teammates picked support champions for them?"

"..."

There's even more fun to be had in Uzbekistan.

"You are both a god and a demon. You can only claim to be a Kaisa jinchūriki after three consecutive losses."

"Where did GSL get the courage to complain about his teammates' poor performance? Even someone like 'Bathing Dog' is terrible, so let's stop criticizing each other."

"Hardcoreers, speak up! Someone actually dares to question whether Uzi can play Lucian? Fun fact: Lucian was Uzi's signature move back in the day. He famously played Bjergsen, the former North American mid laner, like a minion. Most original fans probably haven't seen that, right?"

"It still depends on the puppy to carry the team. Can't his teammates step up? Are they really just like CBA players?"

"..."

Uzi did indeed draw most of the fire.

But the audience won't delve into the underlying reasons; that would be too much of a waste of their brains. They just want to stay on the surface and see which contestant can't beat this one or that one!
The underlying reason is actually quite simple.

RNG's understanding of the game was outdated, and there's only one reason they lost.

That is, when they continue to play a four-protect-one system around the bottom lane, if they choose a champion like Kai'Sa who needs three items to become powerful, they won't be able to survive the mid-game team fights.

No one can shoulder the burden of output in the early and mid-game; it's unrealistic to expect RNG's mid and top laners to deal damage.

RNG paid the price for not proactively researching the version.

"It's alright, at least they weren't eliminated. They now have plenty of time to review the match videos, and they should be even stronger in the quarterfinals."

Wang Yao smiled mysteriously and said, "RNG shouldn't be that bad, but whether they can make it past the quarterfinals is hard to say."

"Alright, alright, let's stop worrying about others and focus on ourselves. Tomorrow is the Group A match. With RNG as a cautionary tale, we mustn't repeat their mistakes."

Abu felt a wave of fear wash over him.

When the first round just ended, RNG was on par with EDG in terms of performance.

Who would have thought that RNG would almost be eliminated in just one day?

If RNG hadn't seized the opportunity in the final tiebreaker to keep their team afloat, the public perception of the team would have collapsed to an unknown extent.

"Do not worry!"

Saint Gun patted his chest and assured, "Our understanding of the game is absolutely flawless, and besides, we have Lao Wang! With him around, we're guaranteed to advance!"

That evening, Wang Yao happened to run into Spicy Hot Pot in the training room. Coach Hot Pot looked worried.

"What's wrong, Mr. Guo? You've qualified, but you still look so grim," Wang Yao asked curiously.

"Get lost, get lost, don't bring up things you shouldn't talk about."

Teacher Guo rolled his eyes and said irritably:

"We almost got crushed today, how can we be happy? Damn it, we just played two practice matches and got crushed again. Junze, that bastard, gets crushed every single time. It's giving me a headache."

"I see." Wang Yao didn't say anything more. Teacher Guo couldn't keep secrets either; this kind of information couldn't be leaked casually.

After all, RNG finished second in their group and is a potential quarterfinal opponent for EDG.

Wang Yao simply didn't ask any further questions, lest it seem as if he was secretly spying on others.

Time soon came to the next day.

Group A will now face off in the final showdown!!
"Yesterday, RNG secured a spot in the quarterfinals without any major incident, which was a relief for the audience."

"As for today, I don't think everyone needs to worry too much. Let's stick to the facts. EDG's overall strength is stronger than RNG's."

"Moreover, their playing style is much more stable than RNG's, and the overall strength of Group A is not that strong, so qualifying will definitely not be a problem."

The child immediately launched into a lengthy analysis.

They were genuinely scared yesterday.

"Yes."

Miller nodded in agreement, "EDG will have no problem advancing, and they'll most likely be the top seed in their group."

The very first match was between EDG and PVB.

Facing teams from the wildcard region, EDG played extremely ruthlessly, destroying the base crystal in just 19 minutes.

After securing their fourth victory in the group stage, EDG has now achieved a 4-0 record, which essentially guarantees their qualification for the next round.

If they can win 4 games in the group stage, they will definitely advance.

"What did I tell you? EDG will definitely not have any surprises," Wawa laughed loudly.

PVB was then thoroughly crushed by Griffin, who once again demonstrated the prowess of a top LCK team, easily defeating PVB in just over 20 minutes.

In the third match, EDG faced off against VIT from the European region. EDG again managed to secure a victory, not allowing their opponents to gain much of an advantage.

Five consecutive wins!
"Now EDG should be able to secure the top spot in their group, right? It depends on Griffin. If they can beat VIT, they'll still have a chance to compete with EDG."

"Otherwise, EDG would be a sure thing to finish first in Group A!"

The suspense lies in the next match.

Griffin vs. VIT!

Despite being eliminated, VIT still showed their prowess against LCK teams!

Griffin actually lost!
With this result, Griffin, having already lost two games, can no longer compete with EDG for the top spot in the group.

Even if EDG loses to Griffin in the final round, they won't have this chance.

"EDG faces Griffin again, let's see what kind of results they will achieve!"

Wang Yao showed Griffin no mercy and won easily once again!
EDG continued their winning streak in the second round, securing three consecutive victories and becoming the top team in Group A with a perfect 6-0 record!
"Look at EDG! This is a true top-tier team; they can't possibly lose in the group stage!"

"It just goes to show that there's no harm without comparison. Do the royal supporters still dare to spout nonsense?"

"Hehehe, the situation is different. EDG is a team that wants to compete for the championship. RNG will be considered a success if they can make it to the top four at best."

"Brother Yao is awesome! His ability to cover for you is absolutely amazing!"

"Brother Yao really spoils his fans, he doesn't give the other side any chance at all."

Compared to RNG's dismal performance on the first day, EDG's results are indeed worthy of wild praise from domestic viewers!
The group stage is still ongoing.

On the third day, we arrived at Group D. Currently, Fantic and IG are tied for first place in Group D with a record of 2-1, and either of them could become the group leader!
