Chapter 471 The Ultimate Four-Protect-One! The Jungle Master Yi!
Guan Zeyuan slapped his forehead and said with a grin:

"SKT proved themselves during the opening match of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational that the Taric and Sona combination is garbage."

"But EDG doesn't believe in this nonsense. Are they planning to teach SKT a lesson this game?!"

Wang Duoduo chimed in with a smile, "I'm starting to look forward to seeing what EDG's mid and jungle picks will be..."

That's right, EDG's current bot lane duo is Taric and Sona, and their top laner is just Kennen.

EDG is severely lacking in the ability to close out games. Their mid and jungle players need to pull off another big play, otherwise their lineup will be severely lacking in damage output.

At this point, BP was still in progress.

The second round of business matching (BP) has begun.

SKT's Kkoma also realized that EDG might be planning something big, so he banned Graves first.

Graves, as a carry jungler, can be even more powerful than an ADC in the late game.

One shot is all it takes to take down a kid, and he can also shoulder the responsibility of ending the game for the team, so banning him first is definitely the right thing to do.

Then Kindred was banned, for the same reason as Graves. If Kindred is played well, she is no worse than an ADC.

EDG, on the other hand, had a much more flexible banning strategy.

Ban Galio once, ban Akali once, don't give Faker a chance to perform.

Then it was EDG's turn to pick a hero on the fourth floor.

“Sa sau sau”.

A passionate female voice rang out.
Kalmar has been confirmed.

"Wuhu, here we come!"

“Kalma? Haha…”

When the LPL commentators looked at EDG's draft picks, several of them burst into laughter.

This Karma is definitely meant for Scout to use, to be the ultimate dog for the team's jungler.

However, the reason they were laughing wasn't because of Karma, but because EDG's lineup had virtually no damage output.

With Karma in the mid lane, Taric and Sona in the bot lane, and only Kennen in the top lane, where will they get any damage output?!

Therefore, Wang Yao, the jungler hero, must be the most amazing hero of all!
While SKT was confused, they still had to carry out their draft picks.

In the end, the choices for both midfielders and junglers were fairly standard.

Orianna and Jarvan IV make a classic mid-jungle duo; Jarvan IV can bring the ball onto the field.

However, with so many champions banned in the mid and jungle lanes, SKT didn't have many good options left.

SKT has a very standard lineup, which is very typical of SKT.

A Jayce in the top lane can split push, and with Kai'Sa and Orianna providing support in the late game, he can both manage the game effectively and hold his own in team fights.

In short, very SKT.

At this point, EDG reserved their last counter pick for Wang Yao's jungle position.

Everyone was now eagerly anticipating Wang Yao's choice.

Anyone who understands games knows that Wang Yao's jungle play is definitely going to be something big.

Meanwhile, EDG's team voice chat was filled with a cheerful discussion.

"Wang Yao, what are you planning to do this round?!"

Coach Maokai simply closed his notebook.

Karma, Taric, and Sona have already been chosen, so what's the point of having this little notebook?!
Any coach with a sound mind wouldn't do this.

However, since this lineup had already been brought out, Maokai was open to the idea and simply passed the ball to Wang Yao.

That's the good thing about being EDG's coach.

I'll say it again: you can always trust Wang Yao!

Believe, believe, and believe again; the main theme is belief.

Wang Yao looked at his teammates' draft picks and shook his head helplessly.

You guys have already picked Taric, Sona, and Karma, isn't it obvious which champion I'm going to pick?!

Since that's the case, this is the only option I have.

After a few seconds.

Accompanied by a signature hero line, the avatar of "That Man on the Fifth Floor of EDG" appeared.

"My sword is your sword!!"

"The Limitless Sword Saint Yi!!"

A man wearing a mask with six large light bulbs on it appeared in BP.

It was then finalized.

"Sword Saint!!"

"Oh my god, it's really here."

"Master Yi?! You're really something, Yao-ge!"

Upon seeing EDG's choice, the commentators' expressions of astonishment followed.

The audience was in an uproar, as this was the last match of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational in Vietnam.

But unexpectedly, I got to see the Sword Saint's match live.

This "god" in "low-level games"—not to mention competitive matches, you almost never see Juggernaut in slightly higher-ranked games, especially Master and above.

Even Darius, another powerful weapon in low-elo games, only occasionally appears in professional matches.

But the Sword Saint is just a complete novice among elementary school students!
"My God, what kind of lineup does EDG have?!"

Longhair's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Jungle Master Yi? Uh..."

Guan Zeyuan held his head, unsure of what to say.

Everyone knew EDG was going to pull off something big this game, but no one expected them to bring out Master Yi!

Viewers in the LPL live stream were also amused by Wang Yao's choice.

"Wow, a four-protect-one strategy?!" "It's already 2019, how come people are still playing a four-protect-one strategy?! Oh, it's protecting Yao-ge, then it's alright (laughs) (laughs)"

"The Sword Saint has already arrived, so how far behind can Tryndamere and Garen be?!"

"Holy crap, EDG is going to pull off something big!"

"Am I crazy, or is this world just too insane!"

"I'm watching the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, not some kind of exhibition match, right?!"

"2333, enjoy, it's all top-notch enjoyment."

"It's on fire! It's on fire... EDG, go!"

"Goodness, this is no less than Bo Ran!"

"Yao-ge is getting better and better at creating hilarious antics after switching to the jungle role! Hahaha!"

"..."

Not to mention the commentators and viewers, even the SKT players on the opposing team were a bit confused by EDG's move.

Even the Sword Saint has arrived!!

Are you playing around?!
This is the annual MSI Mid-Season Invitational, and the opponents are all top teams from various regions around the world. This is no casual game!
EDG had already picked the Taric and Sona combination for their bot lane, but that was one thing, since it was a cutting-edge strategy.

But then Karma appeared in the mid lane, another support-oriented champion.

However, this is not over yet!
The final move, the Sword Saint, was the key that ignited everyone's fury!
At that moment, the commentators and countless fans were initially taken aback.

But the next second, countless fans at the scene cheered, and many even stood up and waved their hands to cheer for EDG.

Originally, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, was neither the home of the LPL region nor the home of SKT, so the fans of SKT and EDG were evenly matched.

However, at this moment, with the selection of Master Yi, EDG and Wang Yao's fans instantly overwhelmed SKT and Faker.

"Wang Yao! Wang Yao!"

"EDG, go for it!"

"Sword Saint! Sword Saint!"

That's the charm of the Sword Saint!
After all, who wouldn't want to see Master Yi dominate the world stage?!

At this point, the draft phase had officially ended, and after giving their final instructions, both coaches strode confidently to the center of the stage to shake hands.

At this moment, Maokai walked to the center of the stage and gently touched the hand that Coach Koma extended.

A feeling of high spirits welled up inside me!

Meanwhile, Koma was still in a daze. He and the entire SKT team were extremely serious about this game, but it seemed like the opposing team was trying to mess things up.

At the same time, both sides began to adjust their positions and summoner spells.

Ultimately, both teams finalized their lineups.

EDG (Red Team): Top lane Kennen, Jungle Master Yi, Mid lane Karma, Bot lane Sona + Taric!

SKT, the blue side, has Jayce in the top lane, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Orianna in the mid lane, and Kai'Sa and Nautilus in the bot lane.

Meanwhile, Colonel KI, true to form, gave his own rating of the win rates of both teams' lineups.

EDG -50.1%, SKT -49.9%.

Even the viewers in the LPL live stream couldn't stand it anymore.

"Good guy, I'm just a good guy!"

"Wow, no wonder he's on par with Guan Daxiao. EDG's lineup is even better than SKT's. EDG's lineup is even more outrageous than G2's Jayce, Zoe, and Elise lineup before!"

"You've got 50.1% of the EDG lineup, Colonel KI, you're really something."

"lol, I don't know where Colonel KI got that 50.1% from. Maybe the lineup score is 0.1%, and the other 50% is all for the name Wang Yao."

"Fair, absolutely fair."

SKT's lineup is fairly average, but EDG's lineup doesn't seem like something a human could pick.

In the commentary booth, the three commentators looked at each other.

"In any case, the lineups for both sides have been finalized."

Guan Zeyuan steadied himself and began his professional analysis:

"EDG has already won nine out of nine matches and has secured first place in the group. The outcome of this match will not affect their group ranking."

"That's right, after fighting battles all their lives, can't they enjoy themselves a bit? Besides, EDG's lineup isn't necessarily going to lose. What if Wang Yao's Master Yi gets going?"

At this point, the commentators were also giving the viewers in the live stream a heads-up.

For no other reason than this, EDG's lineup is just too ridiculous.

Meanwhile, not only were the official LPL livestream rooms laughing, but all the streamers on major online platforms who were watching the match were also laughing.

Deyunse Live Stream Room.

Since the year before last and last year when Wang Yao dominated the world, these veterans have quietly transferred their main team from IG to EDG.

"Fuck!"

The bald father glanced at his chubby son.

"Uh...uh...uh uh!"

The bald man stammered for a long time, but couldn't come up with a single coherent sentence.

"Have fun, have fun, that's all!"

His chubby son tried to smooth things over by speaking up for him.

The kid sitting in the back slapped his thigh and shouted with glee:
"You can't trust other people's sword saints, but you can trust Wang Yao's sword saint! Just trust him and have fun."

It wasn't just Deyunse; any streamer still watching this match was really into it.

Uzi's live stream.

A chubby man was explaining BP while biting his nails.

"Four-protect-one Master Yi, EDG really knows how to play."

"Wow, if I were on his team, I could definitely play Sona. Anyone can play a four-protect-one strategy. I play it all the time."

Zaozi Ge made a self-deprecating joke while watching Wang Yao on the competition screen.
