Chapter 51 Three Years of Pain, All for the Severing of Old Feuds!

Xayah is still quite strong in the current version, but there aren't many AD players who can play her well, and FNC's Rekkles is one of them.

In the European leagues, Rekkles' Xayah has achieved impressive triple and quadra kills multiple times this season, making him a master among AD carries.

Will EDG consider picking Jhin?

Xiangguo, who was sitting in the chair, asked.

Wang Yao's Jhin in the Summer Finals left a deep impression on Xiangguo. Among ADCs, Wang Yao is the only one who can play Jhin so well in the current version.

"It's probably unlikely, as this version of Jhin doesn't pair well with Ardent Censer."

Uzi shook his head.

Judging from today's matches, the current version is dominated by Ardent Censer-based support champions, while Jhin is actually better paired with tanky supports.

Although the Virtuoso can have extremely exaggerated damage output in the late game thanks to his passive attributes.

However, given his sluggish rate of fire, it's difficult for him to fully benefit from the bonus attributes provided by the incense burner.

"Not necessarily. Their top and mid laners can carry. Scout and A-Guang have been practicing more aggressive champions lately, so it's entirely possible for them to play Jhin in the bot lane as well."

As Xiaohu spoke, FNC had already locked in the Magnum Gunner on the first floor.

"Little Cannon?"

Uzi had a premonition; it seemed that all the teams were experimenting with their lineup drafts, prioritizing Tristana.

Soon, the red team EDG finalized their picks for Janna and Jarvan IV on the first and second floors.

Miller's voice rang out from the commentary booth, perfectly timed:

"EDG picked Jarvan IV, but we don't know yet whether they plan to play him in the top or jungle position. They're probably trying to confuse FNC by playing him in a flexible way."

Seeing this, the FNC coach, standing behind Caps, said, "They might pick Orianna to coordinate with Jarvan IV's entry. Caps, do you want to pick Orianna first?"

Caps shook his head and refused, saying, "Let's give it to the top lane first. We need to provide engage for the top and jungle. Broxah, what are you going to play?"

"I'll go with Lee Sin. Clearlove is a player who's relatively afraid of chaotic team fights, so I want to disrupt EDG's strategy in the early game."

FNC's jungler, Broxah, said confidently.

His Lee Sin is considered one of the best among European junglers, and his aggressiveness is no less than Peanut's.

In this match, he didn't mind giving Mingkai the same psychological trauma he experienced in last year's quarterfinals.

"Clearlove will also be playing Lee Sin this year, and they are the number one seed from the LPL. Are you really confident?"

The FNC coach frowned slightly. His coaching style was quite different from that of the rough-and-tumble North American coaches, and it would be best to play it safe.

"Coach, trust me. Give Caps a strong mid laner, and our mid-jungle duo will completely crush them, leaving their bot lane no chance to even farm to the late game!"

Broxah's confident demeanor eventually won over the FNC coach, who reluctantly nodded in agreement with his idea.

"Then let's pick Lee Sin, and Maokai for top lane to withstand the pressure. The enemy top laner might build Rumble. Soaz, are you sure you're okay with that?"

"I don't care. EDG is only good in the LPL. They are no good at the World Championship."

Soaz chuckled and shook his leg, not taking EDG's top laner, A Guang, seriously.

FNC has secured Maokai and Lee Sin!
EDG's third pick didn't hesitate much either; Scout decisively chose Orianna.

Scout originally intended to pick Lucian, but after several days of internal drafting discussions, Wang Yao's excellent version convinced him, and Scout gave up on Lucian.

Two balls and one hero are essential learning subjects for every mid-laner. Scout's Orianna is also quite good. In this game, he even wanted to bring Ghost to control the opponent.

The two sides then proceeded to the second round of business proposal (BP) discussions.

"Should we target their ADC? I heard he's pretty good at playing Twitch, and he also has a decent Draven."

FNC's support player, Zesiz, spoke up. "Hey, couldn't you guys just ban Rumble? I'm playing Maokai in the top lane and nobody cares?"

My sister-in-law is getting a little anxious. Showing off is fine, but you can't take EDG for granted. What if they really get solo-killed?
"Don't be afraid, the enemy top laner is just a super-sized Letme, no matter how strong he is, he can't be that much stronger."

Rekkles said with a smile.

"Alright, let's ban Rumble and Twitch first." The FNC coach had clearly studied EDG's champion picks.

Since Wang Yao is a master of rats and Mouse has a decent Rumble burn technique, let's just ban them both.

Anyway, the group stage is still a long way off, so they're not in a hurry to unleash their full potential; they can just test their opponents a little.

But the next second, EDG's last two bans stunned FNC, as they banned Karma and Taric.

There weren't many Ardent Censer-centric supports in the S7 World Championship; they included Rakan, Janna, Lulu, Karma, Taric, and Soraka.

There are now four support champions banned, and EDG has already picked one of them.

If Rekkles' Tristana isn't paired with an Ardent Censer support, her power will be significantly reduced.

At this moment, the only remaining hero left outside the arena is the healer, but the question is whether FNC dares to pick this healer.

The FNC players all looked at the support player, Zesiz.

"Don't look at me, when have you ever seen me play a support hero... Even in Silver rank, not many people would play this hero."

Zesiz was both amused and exasperated; the champion Soraka and AD Tristana seemed like an incompatible match.

With short legs and low health, they are easy to kill. Apart from being able to heal a little and use their E skill to restrict the enemy's movement, their other functions are unremarkable.

"But given the current situation, you don't have a better option."

As the FNC coach was speaking, the Soraka on the fourth floor of EDG's map lit up briefly, which was undoubtedly a taunt against FNC.

The rookie player who had just arrived at the World Championship dared to provoke the strong European team FNC, and the FNC players' faces darkened instantly.

EDG, of course, wouldn't pick the support hero, and after a brief pause, everyone saw Draven's image on the broadcast screen.

With a resounding "clang," Draven officially locked on and appeared on EDG's fourth-floor seat.

Welcome to the Delai Alliance!

Draven's uniquely arrogant tone echoed in the stadium, and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience almost drowned it out.

Uzi, who was watching the game in the backstage lounge, almost spat out the soda he had just drunk. Wang Yao started by playing Draven? How arrogant!

EDG unleashed their full offensive power this time, determined to reclaim all the glory they had lost in the past.

"Draven paired with Janna against Tristana and Soraka... Honestly, I don't know if the enemy team can survive the mid-game."

Xiao Ming clicked his tongue and shook his head repeatedly: "The shield bonus of this version of Janna is ridiculously strong, and it can also increase the AD's attack power. FNC's bot lane feels like it's going to be gone."

Meanwhile, in the commentary booth...

Doll Miller's breath caught in his throat as he watched, a strange, tingling sensation spreading across his scalp.

"EDG has really locked in Draven!"

He had heard about Wang Yao's frequent Draven play in the Korean server, but that was in ranked games. Draven was rarely seen in professional matches.

"EDG locked in Draven on the fourth floor! My God... Hearing this deafening cheer, I wonder what Kshine's state of mind is right now!"

The child was filled with shock and amazement.

He knew all too well what this match meant for the EDG players.

Three years of deep sorrow, all for the sake of severing the old feud!
