LOL: What does it mean to torture players?

The exciting promotional video slowly came to an end on the giant LED screen, and the lights on the scene suddenly lit up, focusing everyone's attention on the center of the stage.

At the same time, players from both sides are ready to go, and the exciting BP phase has officially begun.

The coaches on both sides were strategizing on the ban and pick interface, the hero portraits were flashing quickly on the screen, and every choice touched the hearts of the audience.

During the back and forth game, an unexpected choice appeared in FPX's position - Gragas and Yasuo.

This is a classic combination of burst and control, which is obviously a carefully prepared routine by FPX, intending to use this unexpected method to target Scout's famous development-oriented mid-lane heroic bomber Kuchi!
In the lounge, when the factory manager saw this choice, his brows furrowed. “No way?! This Doinb guy, can he really play Yasuo? I remember his Yasuo… he shouldn’t be very good, right? This hero requires such high operation skills, and his performance in those mid lane positions that require delicate operations seems to be quite average.”

Su Mo stared at the screen calmly and said thoughtfully:

"Indeed, Doinb's proficiency in Yasuo has always been a mystery. But the essence of the combination of Gragas and Yasuo lies here. Yasuo himself only needs to maintain steady development during the laning phase and ensure that he does not collapse. The real rhythm point is actually Gragas. Yasuo only needs to follow up with his own ultimate move, 'Last Breath', after Gragas' ultimate move 'Exploding Gragas' blows back the enemy, to achieve a devastating effect."

However, when the game officially loaded and entered Summoner's Rift, the situation on the field changed dramatically.

Scout's Corki did not go to the middle lane as FPX expected, but unexpectedly switched to the top lane!

Instead, Ray, who was supposed to be under pressure in the top lane, came to the middle lane with the ferocious Desert Butcher Renekton and faced Doinb's Yasuo!
EDG's coach Abu had returned to the lounge with great satisfaction. With a smug smile on his face, he said to Su Mo and the factory manager, "How was my on-the-spot lane change? Wasn't it a stroke of genius and perfect?"

Su Mo sincerely praised, "Indeed, Master Bu, your ability to adapt is really something. Now our team's tactical system is becoming more and more flexible and varied, and the players can also execute various complex tactical arrangements very well. I feel relieved."

Upon hearing this, Abu's smile widened, and he said with some pride: "Of course! Now everyone's individual abilities and team tacit understanding have been developed. Looking at the entire LPL, our EDG's tactical flexibility is absolutely unique!"

He changed the subject and looked at Su Mo sincerely: "Of course, all of this is inseparable from your careful guidance and selfless dedication. Without the advanced concepts and tactical ideas you brought to the team, our EDG would definitely not be able to get to where we are today."

The factory manager felt uncomfortable listening to this and couldn't help but complain: "Hey, hey, hey, Abu, you're going too far! Isn't League of Legends a team game for five people? How come all the credit goes to him alone?"

The game officially begins, and the war drum of Summoner's Rift sounds again.

In the early stages, both sides fought cautiously, going back and forth and testing each other, and no large-scale conflict broke out.

FPX's Gragas and Yasuo combination seemed a little restrained after facing EDG's mid laner Crocodile, and it was difficult for them to exert their due power.

When Crocodile activates his ultimate skill "Ultimate Domination" and accumulates enough rage, the burst damage from his set of skills has a chance to instantly kill the relatively fragile Yasuo.

Therefore, Doinb's Yasuo and Tian's Gragas did not dare to attack the crocodile in the middle lane easily, for fear of being counterattacked and losing more than the gain.

The two sides continued to play courteous to each other and developed peacefully for more than thirty minutes. The number of kills remained in the single digits, and the scene seemed a bit dull for a while.

At this moment, Su Mo's sharp eyes swept over the equipment and lineup configurations of both sides, and he made a firm judgment: "FPX basically has no chance in this game. Their lineup's late-game capabilities are far inferior to ours."

Sure enough, when the game entered the later stages, the crucial team battle that determined the outcome finally broke out.

FPX's Gragas and Yasuo combination went all out and used the combo that made them famous - Gragas' precise E skill "Meat Bomb Impact" followed by the ultimate "Explosive Gragas", blew EDG's core C position back, and Doinb's Yasuo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, instantly following up with the ultimate "Last Breath"!
However, the EDG players were well prepared for this and their formation was very well organized. Although FPX's combo was gorgeous, it failed to kill EDG's key players instantly.

The skills are wasted and the follow-up is weak.

Afterwards, it was completely EDG's time to chase and counterattack!

The EDG players were like tigers descending from the mountains, chasing after the remnants of FPX and attacking them fiercely with full output, and they were unstoppable!
After successfully winning this crucial team battle, EDG, with its huge advantage, pushed down FPX's base crystal in one fell swoop and took the first victory!
Soon, EDG's starting five returned to the lounge with the joy of victory.

Coach Abu came forward with a smile on his face, patted the players on the shoulders, and shouted, "Well done! Perfect! Win the first game, a good start!"

Meiko had a confident smile on her face, and said proudly, "Humph! The opponent wanted to use the old trick of Gragas and Yasuo to trick us, but we made a beautiful lane swap and they were completely stunned!"

Iboy also seemed a little excited, saying, "Yeah, yeah! We are getting better and better now. Even without Mozi to direct the team, we can handle this kind of on-the-spot lane change problem very well!"

Su Mo gave them a big thumbs up and praised them sincerely, "Great, my brothers! It seems that I, Su Mo, can comfortably win the championship of this summer season!"

Scout laughed and said jokingly, "Of course! It's time for you, the big shot, to have a taste of winning the championship without any effort!"

The factory manager also said cheerfully, "Indeed, indeed. In previous games, we usually won without any effort, and Su Mo always turned the tide at the most crucial moment and carried the whole game. Now, in the most crucial final, he doesn't need to play in person."

Hearing this, Su Mo glanced at the factory manager mischievously and said, "Factory manager, what you said is wrong. Haven't you been winning without doing anything since you won the S-League championship? How dare you criticize me?"

The smile on the factory director's face froze instantly. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that... what Su Mo said... was really fucking true!
Seeing this, Meiko immediately made up for it and said with a sly smile, "It hurts, buddy! Brother Mozi's attacks were precise, and every hit was a critical hit!"

After a short rest and adjustment, the horn for the second game was soon blown, and the players from both sides returned to their respective seats.

The BP stage of the second game officially begins.

This time, Doinb learned from the lesson of the previous game and made adjustments in BP, choosing a hero that better suits his personal style - Karma the Apocalypse, to fight against Scout's Zoe.

The director was also very knowledgeable and gave Doinb a close-up shot of his face.

Su Mo could clearly see through the screen that although Doinb still had his signature smile on his face, his eyes revealed a barely perceptible solemnity, and it was obvious that he was under a lot of pressure.

After all, in the current version of League of Legends, the mid lane position places great emphasis on personal ability and suppression during the laning phase, which is not a very friendly version for Doinb, who is known for his roaming support and team functionality.

Entering the game screen, in this game, FPX showed their iconic mid-jungle linkage play from the beginning, and it was crazier and more proactive than ever!
Just three minutes into the game, FPX's jungler and support, like conjoined twins, came directly to the middle lane and, in coordination with Doinb's Karma, launched a surprise gank on Scout's Zoe!

Although Scout reacted quickly and used Flash, he was still forced back to the tower and his health was greatly reduced.

In this way, Doinb's Karma can use his powerful pushing ability to quickly clear the middle lane soldiers, and then together with the jungler, unscrupulously invade EDG's jungle area, or roam to the side lanes to look for gank opportunities and radiate the advantage of the middle lane to the entire map.

Relying on this almost suffocating fast-paced play, FPX quickly accumulated a considerable advantage in the early stages of the game.

In the end, they won the second game relatively easily with their huge economic lead and perfect team execution.

The EDG players seemed a little overwhelmed by FPX's fierce offensive and did not have much ability to fight back.

In the lounge, the factory manager looked at the screen of the EDG base crystal exploding and couldn't help muttering, "Doinb has so many tricks up his sleeve! He won even with this targeted style of play. He's really tough."

Coach Abu's face was also a little solemn. He walked to the tactical board and said with a frown, "The lineup we chose this time was too biased towards the early stage. As a result, not only did we fail to gain the advantage we should have in the early stage, but we were suppressed by the opponent. This is basically a slow death. The lineup selection is too extreme. Next game, we must change to a more stable lineup!"

Su Mo said calmly, "Karma is a hero with built-in shields and acceleration, and strong wave clearing ability. It is basically impossible for you to completely crush him during the laning phase."

Upon hearing this, the factory manager immediately said in a sarcastic tone: "Yo yo yo, listen, who is speaking? Our LPL, no, the 'World's No. 1 Karma' recognized by the whole world has spoken? I am so sorry!"

Su Mo ignored the factory manager's ridicule and continued, "No kidding. If you want to deal with Doinb's Karma, you can't just rely on the mid lane alone. The only way is to find a way to target his teammates, disrupt FPX's overall rhythm, and prevent him from roaming and supporting comfortably."

The EDG players returned to the lounge dejectedly.

Coach Abu immediately led them into an intense review and analyzed the reasons for the loss in the previous game.

Su Mo picked up his phone and prepared to see if there was any new message.

Suddenly, he found a new unread message popped up on his mobile phone screen.

When Su Mo clicked on it, he was a little surprised. The sender was actually - Faker!

"Will you play today, Mo?"

Su Mo was quite surprised when he saw this short message.

This was the first time Faker took the initiative to send him a message.

Su Mo thought about it and replied, "It depends on the situation. If FPX is strong enough and pushes us into a desperate situation, I might go up."

Coach Abu's review ended quickly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked everyone to discuss the tactical arrangements for the third game.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and took the lead in proposing, "In the next game, Doinb will most likely choose a hero that is good at roaming and setting the tempo. The characteristics of this type of hero are that they have strong laning abilities and are difficult to be completely crushed. Therefore, one way we can deal with this is to choose a mid-lane hero that is also good at setting the tempo, roam against him, and compete with him in support speed and gank efficiency."

Scout nodded in agreement after hearing this: "Yeah, I thought so too. I'll give it a try next time."

Su Mo continued, "FPX's jungler and support synergy is very frequent now, and they especially like to come to the mid lane to help Doinb in the early stages of the game, helping him establish an advantage in the laning phase, and then the mid lane will feed the advantage back to other lanes. This style of play is something we must pay attention to."

"So, in the next game, the mid and jungle should move closer to the middle lane in the early game, and we can even let the support roam the middle lane more often to help Scout stabilize the situation in the middle lane and prevent Doinb from gaining momentum easily."

After listening to Su Mo's analysis, Meiko and Jiejie nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

Su Mo's words were clear and his analysis was thorough, and he seemed to have become EDG's temporary coach.

So, the third game started soon.

Players from both sides came on stage again and entered the BP stage.

This time, EDG locked a hero who can lead the tempo very well for Scout in the middle lane - the wandering mage Ryze!
The tactical arrangements were also carried out completely according to Su Mo's ideas. Jungler Jiejie and support Meiko frequently visited the middle lane in the early stages of the game to help Scout establish an advantage.

As a result, the scene turned into a 3V3 melee in the middle lane!

FPX seemed to have similar ideas. Their jungler and support came to the middle lane early, wanting to help Doinb open up the situation.

Both sides coincidentally placed their bets in the middle and collided head-on!

In that case, there is nothing more to say, let’s just get started!
In terms of the players' individual operations and the team's on-the-spot performance, Scout is naturally not inferior to Doinb.

After several rounds of fierce fighting in the middle lane, EDG finally came out on top and successfully gained some advantages in the middle lane.

Although the two sides fought back and forth in the middle lane in the early stage of the game and the battle was extremely fierce, EDG accumulated a slight advantage bit by bit with its superior individual abilities and team cooperation.

By the middle of the game, Scout's Ryze developed well, his equipment gradually took shape, and he began to enter the solo laning rhythm that he is best at.

At this moment, Ryze is almost invincible in the side lane!
No matter whether it is the mid or top laner, FPX is no match for Scout Ryze in a one-on-one fight, which makes FPX's command team feel very headache and embarrassed.

In the locker room, Coach Abu was so excited that he couldn't help but stand up, waved his fist, and cheered loudly: "Well done, Scout! That's how you play! Use your single laning to pull them hard and make them uncomfortable! Make them lose sight of one thing while focusing on another!"

The FPX players are indeed feeling quite uncomfortable at this moment.

They were caught in a dilemma: the front battlefield needed manpower defense, otherwise EDG would directly advance in a group; and someone had to be sent to watch over Scout Ryze's solo lane in the side lane, otherwise the defensive tower would be pushed down all the way.

As a result, FPX failed to take care of both ends and EDG seized the opportunity to successfully win the third game!

In the commentary booth, Wawa's voice rang out excitedly: "The score on the field is now 2 to 1! EDG is temporarily leading! There are not many chances left for FPX!"

Miller then took over and raised a question that all the audience were very concerned about: "Well, now the question is! Since EDG won this game again, does it mean that in the next fourth game, that man - Brother Mozi, will still not play?"

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing for EDG fans? If EDG's starting lineup wins the fourth game, it means that Mozi doesn't even need to play in person, and EDG can successfully win the LPL summer championship! Such an EDG is too scary!"

In EDG's lounge, the players returned here again with the joy of victory.

Everyone's face was filled with a relaxed smile and the atmosphere was cheerful.

Meiko said excitedly: "Brother Mozi's tactics are really useful! We played according to your instructions and we won! So powerful!"

Iboy also seemed very excited: "Keep winning like this! If we win one more game, we will be the champions!"

Coach Abu reminded them in a serious but encouraging tone: "Everyone, keep up your current form! The next game is very crucial, so don't take it lightly!"

At this moment, Su Mo's phone vibrated again.

He picked it up and saw that it was another message from Faker.

"If you're not ready to go, you may not have a chance."

Su Mo looked at the message, a playful smile appeared on his lips, and he replied: "Let it be. If we really don't have the fate to meet on the finals stage, we can't force it, right?"

The much-anticipated fourth game is about to begin!
Players from both teams took to the court again amid the deafening cheers from the audience!
During the BP phase of the fourth game, the situation suddenly changed!
During the selection phase, Doinb suddenly took out a hero that surprised everyone - Elemental Queen Qiyana!

This is an option most people don’t think of!

Although the hero Qiyana has been online for some time, due to its high difficulty in operation and complex skill mechanism, there are not many players who can really play it well, so its appearance rate in professional competitions has always been low.

Unexpectedly, in such a crucial fourth game of the final, Doinb actually took her out first, which was obviously FPX's hidden weapon! Entering the game screen, EDG's jungler Jiejie and support Meiko, still followed the successful play strategy of the previous game, and came to the middle lane in the early stage of the game to try to gank Doinb's Qiyana.

However, the hero Qiyana is so flexible!

Doinb's Qiyana jumped back and forth in the bushes in the middle lane, using her Q skill "Elemental Fury" to steal the grass element to gain invisibility. She played all kinds of tricks on EDG's mid, jungle and support players, playing a game of "hide and seek" with them, and wasted a lot of time.

Originally, EDG's mid, jungle and support were in an advantageous position with Qiyana being double-teamed, but as time went on, the situation was reversed!

FPX's bottom lane ADC combination actually gave up the line of troops and directly supported the middle lane!

EDG, on the contrary, became the target of FPX's multi-sided encirclement!
In the lounge, the factory manager looked at the passive situation of EDG on the screen and couldn't help but frowned, muttering: "It feels like our play style is a bit too rigid... We don't know how to adapt at all, and we still use the same old tricks."

Su Mo smiled upon hearing this and said jokingly, "So, Mingkai, this is why we need you, an experienced veteran, to calm the situation and stabilize the morale of the troops."

The factory manager looked at Su Mo firmly and said in a deep voice, "Seriously, Xiao Mo, if we lose this game, how about we play together in the next decisive game?"

Su Mo originally wanted to continue teasing the factory manager, such as "I don't want to go on stage with you and embarrass myself", or "You can go up there alone and turn the tide."

However, when he saw the unquestionable seriousness and determination in the factory director's eyes, Su Mo suddenly realized that the factory director's words seemed to have other implications, and it was not as simple as just wanting to play in the game with him.

So, Su Mo put away his joking thoughts, nodded solemnly, and said: "Okay! If we really lose this game, the next decisive game, the two of us, will play together!"

The game continues.

Doinb's Qiyana successfully resolved EDG's gank in the early stage, and after successfully counterattacking, she completely took off!

He began to set the pace frantically in the middle lane, using Qiyana's powerful roaming ability and burst damage to turn EDG's formation upside down, leaving them with no peace.

Although in the subsequent team battles, Doinb's Qiyana's personal performance could only be described as mediocre, and he did not make many eye-catching moves.

However, with his perfect rhythm in the early stages, he has already established a huge enough advantage for his teammates.

Therefore, even if he slacked off a bit in a team battle, it would not be a problem at all.

In the end, FPX relied on its huge advantage in the early and mid-game to steadily win the fourth game!
The score on the field became a thrilling 2-2 tie!
In the lounge, the factory manager looked at the screen showing the crystal explosion at the FPX base, but a relieved smile appeared on his face. He turned to look at Su Mo and said, "It seems that we two old guys have to go on stage ourselves, Xiao Mo."

In the commentary booth, Rita's voice was also filled with excitement and anticipation: "Now, the score between the two sides is tied at 2-2! The most brutal fifth and final round is about to begin! So, at such a critical moment, will that man come?!"

Soon, the EDG players returned to the lounge with gloomy looks.

Everyone's face was filled with frustration and loss, and they seemed a little discouraged.

After all, in this game, they were almost unilaterally crushed by FPX, and Doinb's Qiyana stole the limelight and put on a phenomenal performance.

The atmosphere in the lounge was a little dull for a moment.

At this point, Coach Abu forced himself to cheer up, walked up to the players, patted their shoulders, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, brothers, it's no big deal if we lose. We still have one last chance! At worst, we can treat the next game as a BO1, and use all our trump cards to fight them!"

Scout took the initiative to step forward, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, everyone, it's my fault. I played very poorly in the mid lane this time, and I couldn't withstand the pressure. I caused a lot of trouble for the team."

Coach Abu smiled and consoled him, "Scout, we are a team. Winning or losing is a responsibility shared by all of us. Besides, Doinb is no pushover. He is really good at playing Qiyana, and with the crazy help from FPX's jungler and support in the early game, it is inevitable that we suffered a little in the middle lane. Don't blame yourself too much."

At this moment, Su Mo's calm and powerful voice rang out in the lounge.

"In the next game, the factory and I will go up and fight."

"Xiao Jie, Ray, you two should take a good rest down there and adjust your condition."

Jiejie and Ray nodded without hesitation, their eyes full of trust in Su Mo and the factory director: "No problem, Brother Mozi, Factory Director!"

At the same time, on the other side, there was a jubilant scene in FPX's lounge.

The players were immersed in the joy of equalizing the score and seemed a little overexcited.

Doinb was even more jumping and dancing in the lounge, cheering: "Nice! Brothers! Nice! It's 2-2! We still have one last game! As long as we win the last game, we will be the champions! The champions of LPL!"

The support player Crisp seemed relatively silent. He sat quietly aside without saying a word, seemingly thinking about something.

Top laner Gimgoon also said excitedly: "That's right! We must win the next game! EDG has won so many championships, it's their turn to give us FPX a taste!"

Jungler Tian also agreed, with a hint of resentment in his tone: "Indeed! When SKT dominated the LCK, they didn't always win the league championship. At least they left a way out for other teams."

"Look at EDG in LPL now. They are almost winning all the championship trophies. This is too much!"

Just as everyone in FPX was imagining the beautiful scene of winning the championship, suddenly, a staff member appeared at the door of the lounge in a hurry and reminded in a hurried tone:

"Dear players, please note that the EDG team has made adjustments to the starting lineup for the next game!"

"Clearlove7 replaces Jungler!"

"Mo is in the top position!"

After hearing the news, the originally noisy atmosphere in the FPX lounge suddenly became quiet.

Doinb, who was dancing with excitement just now, immediately stopped smiling, frowned, and looked serious: "What?! It's fine to replace Mozi, after all, it's a life-or-death game, he must play. But, why do we have to replace Zz1tai as well? I feel Jiejie's performance is pretty good, there's no need to replace him, right?"

Jungler Tian said thoughtfully: "I guess... there is some hidden 'combo' or special tactical arrangement between Mozi and Zzai. The two of them have always had a very good relationship and cooperated very well. Maybe there really is some secret weapon."

Bottom laner Lwx also agreed: "Indeed, there is a high possibility of a 'combo'! In the next game, we must be careful to guard against their top and jungle synergy!"

Support player Crisp remained calm and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. No matter who they replace, we just need to play well."

Doinb turned his gaze to the top laner Gimgoon, and said with a hint of worry, "GimGoon, you must keep the top lane stable in the next game! Mozi is playing in person, and his laning suppression ability is world-class. You must not give him any chances to kill alone or snowball!"

Gimgoon was very honest when he heard this. He scratched his head with a wry smile and said, "To be honest, I definitely can't beat him in the laning phase. You guys in the mid and jungle should keep an eye on him. If you have the chance, come to the top lane to help me."

For EDG, the time for the fifth and decisive game to begin is almost here.

Coach Abu clapped his hands and called out, "Okay, boys, we're ready to go on stage! Give 100% of our strength to win this game!"

Just then, Su Mo's cell phone rang again.

He picked it up and saw that it was another message from Faker.

"It seems that you will have to play in person after all. I look forward to your wonderful performance in the finals."

Su Mo looked at the message, a confident smile appeared on his lips, and he replied with four words briefly and powerfully.

"See you in S game."

At the game, in the commentary booth, Wawa's voice spread throughout the venue through the microphone, full of excitement and anticipation:

"Okay, dear audience members at the scene and in front of the TV, welcome back! The passionate battle song has sounded again! What is about to take place is the fifth life-and-death contest between EDG and FPX in the LPL Summer Finals! I believe that many audience friends are like us. Before the game started, we never thought that the competition between the two teams would be so fierce and so tense, dragging the game into the most cruel fifth decisive game!"

Rita also reminded him at the right time, and her voice was also trembling: "Well, now, I want to tell you an exciting good news! That man, he is here! The EDG team has just decided to adjust the starting lineup! Our LPL legendary player - Mozi, and another LPL legendary player - Zz1tai, they will be substituted on the court at the same time, and join forces to fight in this final life-and-death duel!"

"The champion top and jungle duo that once led EDG to countless glory will fight side by side again today to fight for the highest honor of LPL!"

The competition venue is brightly lit and attracts everyone's attention.

The players from both teams, amidst the thunderous cheers from the audience, once again stepped onto the competition stage that symbolizes glory and dreams.

Su Mo and the factory manager walked side by side at the front of the team, leading the EDG players, step by step, firmly towards the battlefield that belonged to them.

The passionate battle song echoed in the stadium, and the audience around was completely excited. They waved the cheering items in their hands and shouted at the top of their lungs:

"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

"Brother Mozi! Brother Mozi! Factory Director! Factory Director!"

Su Mo's eyes inadvertently glanced towards the FPX player's seat.

It turned out that the FPX players were also watching them intently.

Doinb's face still had his signature funny expression, he grinned and made all kinds of faces, as if he was not afraid of the upcoming powerful enemy at all.

The players from both teams took their seats in their respective competition seats, adjusted their equipment, took deep breaths, and adjusted their mindsets.

The BP (hero ban and selection) phase of the fifth decisive game has officially begun!

In this game, EDG is on the red side, while FPX is on the blue side.

The ban situation of both sides is as follows:
EDG banned: Karma the Apocalypse, Tahm Kench, the River King, and Lux ​​the Lady.

FPX banned: Blade Dancer Irelia, Darkin Aatrox, and Flower Spirit Neeko.

In the commentary booth, Wawa immediately analyzed: "Sure enough! After Mozi and Zhazi came on the court, FPX's BP strategy immediately changed significantly! They gave the main ban positions to the carry-type top heroes that Mozi is good at! However, in this way, Zhazi's signature hero, Demacia Prince Jarvan IV, was released!"

"We all know that in this summer season, the appearance rate of the hero Prince in the jungle position ranks second! In addition, Prince is one of the heroes that Factory Manager is famous for... Oh! My God! FPX on the first floor of the blue side actually directly locked on the Demacia Prince!"

Miller also replied in surprise: "Xiaotian is challenging the factory manager! He seems to be saying: Is your prince the only one with unique skills? My Xiaotian's prince is no worse!"

It's EDG's turn on the red side to make a choice.

On the first and second floors, EDG decisively got the classic and powerful combination of Ni Yu Xia and Huan Ling Luo for the bottom lane combination!

Rita commented: "EDG's choice is very solid, there is nothing wrong with it! In the current version, the Xayah-Rakan combination is still a T1 choice for the bottom lane. Although Prince can use his ultimate skill 'Heaven Collapse' to limit Xayah's output environment in team battles, it is still far from enough for Prince alone to completely restrict a well-developed Xayah."

On the second and third floors, FPX quickly locked in the equally powerful combination of Void Daughter Kaisa and Deep Sea Titan Nautilus for the bottom lane.

Wawa analyzed: "FPX's Kaisa system is also one of their very good playing styles. It can be said that both sides' bottom lanes have obtained the hero combination they want most and are most confident in. Then the next match will depend on the players' individual performance and on-the-spot response."

On the third floor, EDG locked in a hero for the jungler who was also very team-oriented and had stable control - Sejuani, Wrath of the North, or commonly known as Sejuani.

Miller said thoughtfully: "Right now, the mid and top heroes of both sides have not been determined. It seems that the coaches of both sides want to deliberately hide something in the final counter position to create some suspense and pressure for the opponent."

Entering the second round of BP stage.

EDG was on the red side, banning the wandering mage Ryze and the Taliyah.

On the blue side, FPX banned Vladimir, the Crimson Reaper, and Camille, the Steel Shadow.

On the fourth floor, EDG was the first to lock down Sylas the Freedman for mid laner Scout.

Wawa analyzed: "EDG first showed off their mid laner Sylas. In fact, judging from the lineup that FPX has already confirmed, at least so far, Sylas doesn't have any particularly useful ultimates to steal. The Prince's ultimate, 'Heaven Collapse and Earth Shattering', looks beautiful in team battles and can deal AOE damage and control effects."

"But the main purpose of that ultimate skill is to change the terrain and divide the battlefield. Even if Silas stole the prince's ultimate skill, it would be difficult for him to deal too much burst damage."

On the fourth and fifth floors, FPX decisively locked Gangplank, the Scourge of the Ocean, for the top laner Gimgoon, and selected Corki, the Heroic Bombardier, for the mid laner Doinb!

Miller's voice was filled with anticipation: "GimGoon's Captain is also one of his famous skills! We can look forward to his wonderful performance as Captain! But... I always feel that when Gimgoon's Captain faces Brother Mozi, there may be some unexpected problems."

Finally, it is the turn of EDG on the red team to make the final move, which is to choose the hero for the top unit!
Everyone's eyes were focused on EDG's selection box!

Everyone held their breath, looking forward to the man's choice!

At this moment, a hero avatar that no one expected suddenly appeared in EDG's fifth-floor selection box!

He was a hero covered with thick fur, holding huge lightning claws, full of primitive wildness and power!

Thunder roars, Volibear! (End of this chapter)
