Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 160 Still can’t do it?

August 15th, Shanghai Zhengda Plaza.

The most anticipated match of the LPL Summer Split regular season is about to take place here.

The venue was bustling with activity, and every seat was taken.

EDG's black team flag and WE's red team flag complemented each other in the stands.

Even before the match started, the fans' shouts were already deafening, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

This team, WE, has been the strongest in recent years, and it has also awakened the fans from the past. Under these circumstances, the fans who came to support them in person accounted for 30%, which prevented them from losing by too much and from being completely one-sided.

The players are already in position on the bench.

On EDG's side, Li Fan closed his eyes to rest, his fingers gently tapping the armrest of his gaming chair.

None of the athletes showed any pre-competition tension; all they displayed was a strong desire for victory.

WE, on the other hand, is also on high alert.

Xiye looked serious as she kept moving her wrists.

For WE, although the rankings are already set, preventing EDG from tying their historical record and breaking their invincible momentum before the playoffs is a huge temptation and motivation in itself.

They don't want to lose to EDG like they did in the Spring Split finals!

We absolutely must get back on our feet; breaking your winning streak is crucial.

That's also today's goal!

Redmi kept walking back and forth in the back... cheering on the players.

In the commentary booth, the three long-time partners, Wawa, Miller, and Su Xiaoyan, were already ready.

"Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of the LPL Summer Regular Season's highlight match, EDG vs. WE! I'm your commentator, Wawa."

"I'm Miller."

"Hello everyone, I'm Su Xiaoyan."

The doll ignited the atmosphere first: "Wow, this venue is incredibly hot today! It feels like the air is on fire!"

Miller picked up where he left off, getting to the point: "That's right, I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to this match for far too long. On one side is EDG, who are on a 15-game winning streak and aim to tie their own record of 16 consecutive wins. On the other side is WE, a strong team eager to end the record. Although the rankings in Group A are already set, the significance of this match has long surpassed the points themselves."

Su Xiaoyan analyzed: "Yes, this is more like a preview of the playoffs, or even a battle of mentality and momentum. If EDG wins, they will enter the playoffs in a near-perfect state, and their morale will reach its peak."

"If WE can stop them, it will not only greatly boost their confidence, but also provide other playoff teams with a model for defeating EDG."

Miller nodded: "But the key to this game is still the midfield."

"Clearlove and Condi have completely different styles. Clearlove is more focused on map control and tempo, while Condi is known for stealing dragons and aggressive ganking."

"The mid-lane matchup is the focus of attention. Unreal's dominance this season is undeniable, but xiye is also one of the best domestic mid-laners, with rich experience and a deep champion pool... Whether xiye can withstand the pressure from Unreal today is crucial for WE."

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was flooded with comments, so densely packed that they were impossible to read.

[It's starting! It's starting! I've been waiting forever!]

[EDG, go for it! Sixteen consecutive wins! We're going to take the World Championship title this year in our best form!]

[WE, give us a good thrashing! Break their undefeated streak!]

[Condi goes to the jungle to farm, and if he plays aggressively, the jungler becomes useless, and then Unreal Engine can't play him anymore.]

[Hilarious! You've watched a few EDG games, and EDG's success always hinges on their mid laner's performance, right? If they don't have an advantage in the mid lane, they're basically doomed... But when has EDG ever had a mid lane advantage?]

Why say all this? Unreal will bring you back to reality!

If WE beats EDG, I'll go to a karaoke bar tonight; if EDG wins, I'll go to a bathhouse.

Be a little more ruthless with yourself, bro!

Amidst the deafening cheers from the crowd, the large screen displayed the BP interface!

"EDG is on the blue side, WE is on the red side, let's take a look at the first round of draft picks!"

EDG's first three bans were very clear: Galio, Kog'Maw, and Zac.

They directly dismantled WE's unstoppable duo and shut down Condi's hot-playing Zac jungler.

WE is the only team in the entire league that has used this strategy very well, so there's no problem with targeting them this way.

The blue team should take advantage of this move.

The best approach is to target the opponent's tactical system...

WE's response was equally sharp, featuring Rakan, Tristana, and Kalista.

The fact that Rakan is currently the top support in the bot lane shows that they don't want to pick Xayah. If Rakan is available, they will definitely pick him because the opposing team is unlikely to let you have such a top-tier bot lane duo on the red side.

"WE's ban was very clever; they wanted to limit your bot lane's performance and put pressure on the mid, top, and jungle," Miller commented.

"Yes, now that the two strongest Ardent Censer champions, Janna and Lulu, have been released, which one will EDG pick first?" Wawa chimed in.

In reality, there was no suspense at all; they directly picked Janna.

Janna's strength lies in her ultimate ability, which provides strong self-preservation; as long as she can keep herself alive, that's enough.

The best support champion right now is one with strong warranty capabilities.

WE immediately acquired Lulu and Twitch!

This forms the classic Lulu-Rat late-game core system.

Its strength is only slightly less than that of Kog'Maw, but once it develops and unleashes its full firepower in the late game, it is still very terrifying.

"WE's move is solid; they're betting on the late game and trusting Mystic's carry potential," Su Xiaoyan analyzed.

"EDG instantly locked in Janna on the first floor, no doubt about it! Now let's look at WE's side, Lulu and Twitch, a very solid late-game combination..." Wawa quickly explained the draft process.

"Now the pressure is on EDG's second and third picks. What will they choose? In the jungle position, Jarvan IV is still out there, and Sejuani is also an option, both of which are Clearlove's strengths..." Miller analyzed.

EDG locked in Sejuani on the second floor!

The prince is indeed much worse than the princess. Unless you can create a specific system for him, you won't choose the prince.

"Sejuani! Clearlove's Sejuani is fine. Sejuani is very strong after the rework in this version, with plenty of control and tankiness!"

Everyone's attention was focused on the third floor...

Now that the support has been released, it's not a problem to confirm the bot lane duo on the third floor.

If the enemy team has a rat, you can build Varus in the bot lane, or any other late-game ADC.

However, when the image of the ronin wearing a straw hat and holding a long sword appeared in EDG's third-floor selection box and was not instantly locked, the entire Zhengda Plaza fell into silence for a moment, and then erupted into a tsunami of exclamations and screams!

Yasuo!

"Yasuo!! My God!!! EDG locked in Yasuo on the third floor!" Wawa's voice instantly rose, incredulous. "Unreal's Yasuo! This is the first time he's picked this champion this season, and in such a crucial match! That's too confident!"

Miller got excited too: "These are heroes we haven't seen in professional matches for a long time! High risk, high reward! EDG is going to play a strong engage composition. Sejuani has a knock-up, and Janna has a knock-up from her Q skill, both of which can create the perfect environment for Yasuo to follow up with his ultimate! He can even just use his ultimate on anyone who dives in..."

Su Xiaoyan added, "And look at WE's lineup. The Lulu and Twitch they've shown so far are both very afraid of these strong dive-in warriors! Yasuo's Wind Wall is a hard counter to Twitch's Penetrating Shot. This pick, although bold, is very thoughtful. Marksmen are indeed powerful in the Ardent Censer version, but once the Wind Wall blocks them, their damage is completely reduced to zero."

【Yasuo!!!】

[Holy crap! Fan Ge's Yasuo!]

Playing Yasuo in a game where you're aiming for a 16-game winning streak? That's way too confident! But I trust Unreal; he has all the champions he can pick, so I can just trust him.

[This is amazing! It's absolutely incredible!]

[I'm asking you, are you scared by this draft? Completely unrestrained by the current meta, Yasuo is just picked whenever they want.]

The live stream chat exploded with comments, and the audience at the scene was even more excited.

Yasuo is a popular champion due to his unique mechanics and extremely high skill ceiling, but his inconsistent performance in professional matches makes him a high-risk pick.

Otherwise, no one would have chosen them for so long; that's right, no one has chosen them for any competition, big or small.

He was directly selected in this highly anticipated match, which makes everyone very excited to see how he will perform under Li Fan's guidance.

After much deliberation, WE's third-floor player finally locked in Cassiopeia.

Hopefully, Xiye can counter Yasuo with Cassiopeia.

After all, being bound to the ground is very difficult for Yasuo...

This also provides a good opportunity to limit Yasuo's performance in team fights.

In the second round of the draft, WE banned Xayah and Varus, further limiting iboy's ADC choices and forcing EDG to make their bot lane choices.

EDG specifically banned Shen and Kled, limiting 957's support and entry.

WE locked in the excavator on the fourth floor, putting early offensive pressure on Condi, while leaving the counter position for top laner 957.

"EDG still has a top laner and an ADC left to pick. How will they choose to complete this Yasuo system?" Miller said.

Whether they can become dominant depends on the choices made by the top laner and the AD carry...

EDG's fourth pick didn't hesitate at all and immediately locked in Cho'Gath. Cho'Gath gets tankier the longer the game goes on, which is perfect for this version. In addition, his Q skill can provide a knock-up, which can help Yasuo enter the fray effectively.

"Cho'Sai, top lane Cho'Sai! This makes EDG's front line more solid, and Cho'Sai's Q skill, Rupture, is also an area-of-effect knock-up! It can also synergize with Yasuo!" Wawa's eyes lit up.

Immediately afterwards, EDG revealed the female police officer on the fifth floor and quickly locked onto her!
"Caitlyn! iboy's Caitlyn! This is going for a fast push! Utilize Caitlyn's early tower-pushing ability to snowball quickly and not give WE's Twitch and Cassiopeia a chance to drag the game into the late game!"

Furthermore, the policewoman still possesses considerable combat power in the later stages, as her arms are long enough that the snake woman's arms are not very effective at threatening her.

EDG's final roster has been confirmed: top lane Cho'Gath, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Yasuo, and bot lane Caitlyn and Janna.

A comprehensive system that combines strong team fight initiation and early-game suppression with late-game support.

Now, all the pressure is on WE's last counter-pick position.

The biggest question right now is which hero to pick in the top lane to break the deadlock.

Coach Hongmi frowned; EDG's lineup had completely disrupted his plans.

In particular, the sudden pick of Yasuo, along with EDG's subsequent additions of Cho'Gath and Caitlyn, put WE's originally envisioned solid late-game lineup under immense pressure in the early game.

"Top lane... what should we use to counter this? We need a front line, we need crowd control, and we need something that can limit Yasuo's entry to some extent..." Miller looked at WE's fifth floor, which hadn't lit up yet, and his tone was a little tense.

After a long period of deliberation and communication with the team members, WE's fifth pick finally revealed a very conservative yet effective lane bully top laner, Renekton!

"Crocodile! Crocodile from 957! They chose to use a crocodile to fight the giant worm!" the doll shouted.

"The crocodile is very strong in the early game and can indeed put a lot of pressure on Cho'Gath in lane. Moreover, the stable point control of the red-rage W can also limit the mobility of a fighter like Yasuo."

"But the problem is, compared to the big bug, the crocodile's role in the later stages..." Miller didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

After all, crocodiles become useless in the later stages of the game.

With Cho'Gath being a top-tier tank in the late game, WE's lineup couldn't withstand it under these circumstances.

The lineups for both sides have been finalized.

Blue side EDG: Top lane Cho'Gath, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Yasuo, bot lane duo Caitlyn and Janna.

Red team WE: Top laner Renekton, jungler Rek'Sai, mid laner Cassiopeia, bot lane duo Twitch and Lulu.

Amidst cheers and applause, the two coaches came to the center of the stage and shook hands.

The images on the big screen officially entered Summoner's Rift.

"Alright, let's get into the first game of EDG vs WE."

Accompanied by the commentary, ten heroes appeared in the fountain, quickly purchased their equipment, and rushed towards the river.

Both sides lined up in a long, straight line, carefully guarding the entrances to their respective jungle areas to avoid being caught off guard.

"Both sides played quite cautiously at the start, neither opting for an invasion, indicating they both wanted to get through the early game smoothly," Miller observed the situation.

The two sides did not engage in a level 1 team fight and returned to normal laning.

The camera immediately focused on Mouse's Cho'Gath in the top lane against 957's Renekton, and he played very cleverly.

He knew what his task was, so he used his Q skill to last-hit minions from a distance, never giving the crocodile a chance to easily stun him with his W and unleash a combo.

Although the crocodile is strong, it can't snowball its advantage against the worm's solid defense.

The director quickly focused the camera on the most interesting part of the game, the middle lane.

Both mid laners had reached level two by this point.

Li Fan's Yasuo used his Q skill to farm minions from a distance.

Xiye's snake woman attempted to wear him down by using a plague explosion.

However, Li Fan's control over distance is unparalleled. He can always get to the edge of Cassiopeia's Q skill, using minions as stepping stones, using his E skill to dash forward and dodge the poison mist at the same time, and taking the opportunity to counterattack with AQ.

"Unreal's Yasuo proficiency seems pretty high. Look at how smoothly he uses his E to dodge Q and then turns around to use his Wind Walk!" Wawa couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

After several exchanges of health, xiye's Cassiopeia's health was actually reduced slightly, and he was also a few hits behind in last-hitting.

Yasuo's passive shield is very useful and can play a crucial role when laning against ranged champions.

In the bottom lane, iboy's Caitlyn and Meiko's Janna firmly controlled the lane thanks to their champion characteristics.

After all, the female police officer and the female strategist are a top-tier laning combination.

The female police officer's long-range basic attacks made it very difficult for Mystic's Twitch to last-hit minions, and Janna's occasional W skill poke only made things worse.

If it weren't for Lulu, it would be even more painful.

"EDG has gained a lead in both the mid and bot lanes, especially in the mid lane. Unreal's Yasuo put a lot of pressure on Xiye... Xiye tried to counter Yasuo with Cassiopeia, but it didn't seem to work very well. This was mainly because Unreal's positioning was just too good, which caused Cassiopeia to miss a lot of skills," Su Xiaoyan summarized.

Cassiopeia can counter Yasuo because neither her Q skill nor her ultimate can be blocked by his Wind Wall.

If the enemy's positioning is well-executed, it can severely limit their team fight performance. This move shows that Redmi has a lot of faith in Xiye.

But at this stage of the competition, it seems there's no other way but to have faith.

If you choose something else, you'll be even less able to beat Yasuo.

At 3 minutes and 50 seconds into the game, Condi's excavator cleared the river crab and quietly moved to the mid lane.

As you can see from the minimap, Yasuo is now slightly past the center line, and Condi immediately tunnels out from the bushes above the river!
"Conti is here! This wave has Flash and top! Can we hold them off?" Miller's voice became tense.

The moment the excavator broke through the ground, Li Fan's Yasuo seemed to have a premonition...

The wind wall completely blocked Cassiopeia's W skill! Then, with a nimble upward slide of her E skill, Rek'Sai's flash-head only managed to knock up a bunch of minions!
"Beautiful! That wind wall blocked the ground binding, so Yasuo can use his teleportation to escape. Unreal's reaction was too fast! Condi's gank failed!" Wawa shouted excitedly.

Holy crap! That reaction!

[Script-level wind wall!]

[Conti is stunned! Unreal's idea is indeed brilliant: first use the Wind Wall to block the snake woman, then dodge on top of the excavator!]

[Condi wasted his Flash, how frustrating is that? He lost all his early game momentum.]

[I knew it was over from this moment; WE was finished this game.]

Condi's first gank failed, which not only delayed his own jungle clearing time, but also put more pressure on Xiye in the mid lane.

With lane priority in the mid lane, the factory manager's Sejuani has a wider range of movement.

He first secured the first Water Dragon, and then continued to put pressure on WE's bottom lane, forcing Condi to devote more energy to defending the bottom half of the map.

At 7 minutes into the game, Clearlove's Sejuani, along with the bot lane duo, successfully reduced WE's bot lane tower to below half health.

Meanwhile, the excavator seized the opportunity and, together with the crocodile, forcefully ganked the top lane.

Mouse's Cho'Gath used Flash to retreat, but was still stunned by Renekton's Flash + W with full power, and the Excavator ultimately secured the first blood.

"First Blood!"

"WE has opened up the game in the top lane... Condi's Rek'Sai got the first blood! But... the bottom lane tower is about to fall!" Miller quickly reported the battle situation.

Almost simultaneously, EDG's bottom lane trio, with a large wave of minions, easily destroyed WE's bottom tower.

The extra tankiness bonus only comes to the S8 turrets, so the early game turret pushing speed is still quite fast.

"Trading first blood for a tower is a win-win situation for EDG. Moreover, the tower was taken down by Caitlyn, so Caitlyn's tower-pushing rhythm is about to pick up!" Wawa analyzed.

After securing the first tower, EDG decisively implemented a lane swap strategy, with Caitlyn and Janna switching to the top lane to continue pressuring WE's top lane tower.

WE was forced to move their bot lane duo to the top lane for defense, but they struggled against the well-equipped Caitlyn.

The balance of the game began to gradually tilt in EDG's favor.

The key moment occurred in the 14th minute.

Both sides gathered near the mid lane to contest the second dragon.

WE attempted to initiate a team fight, and the Rek'Sai flashed and knocked up the Janna who was positioned too far forward!
"Excavator flashes overhead! Can it be done in seconds?" Miller exclaimed.

Meiko's Janna reacted incredibly fast, instantly shielding herself with her E skill the moment she was knocked up, and immediately activating her ultimate after landing, blowing away the charging Rek'Sai and Renekton while simultaneously restoring her teammates' health!
Just as WE's formation pushed forward, Li Fan, who had been hovering on the flank, made a move!

Yasuo used the front line of WE as a springboard, using his E skill to dash in, already holding a whirlwind in his hand! He seized the opportunity when WE's backline, Twitch and Cassiopeia, were grouped together, unleashing his EQ combo! Flash!
"Yasuo EQ Flash! He knocked up Twitch and Cassiopeia! My God! Both carries were knocked up!" Wawa's voice suddenly rose.

If the Cassiopeia didn't react in time and didn't unleash her ultimate ability, then that's a big problem.

"Breaking Wind Slash!"

Without giving WE any time to react, Yasuo's figure transformed into a storm of blades, sweeping over WE's two carries!

Although Ben's Lulu used her ultimate on Twitch immediately after the knock-up ended, the others had already followed up with damage in the first place.

The mouse was killed by Li Fan's Yasuo after only two auto-attacks.

Mystic's rats were the first to fall!

Without their core damage dealer, WE collapsed like a house of cards. Although Xiye's Cassiopeia tried her best to deal damage, she couldn't carry the team alone.

EDG ultimately scored a 3-for-1 trade and took down the dragon and the mid-lane tower!
"WE is completely destroyed! Yasuo's entry was too fatal!" Miller lamented.

This Yasuo! He's a god descended to earth!

[A single EQ flash changed the course of the battle! Unbelievable! Unreal's ability to find opportunities is truly remarkable.]

Unreal! Forever a god!

Still can't do it? Even a butterfly can't fly across the ocean!

After this wave, EDG's economic advantage expanded to 5,000.

Yasuo and Caitlyn's equipment is far ahead.

The rest of the match was completely dominated by EDG.

Using the Rift Herald they had previously secured, EDG pushed down two of WE's top lane towers in quick succession.

With their vision severely restricted, WE lost all their jungle resources.

At 24 minutes into the game, EDG seized the opportunity when WE was missing all their players and decisively rushed down Baron Nashor.

WE arrived too late to stop them, and EDG instead managed to catch and kill their jungler and support.

With the Baron buff, EDG pushed down all three lanes simultaneously. The huge economic and equipment difference made WE's defense as flimsy as paper.

In front of the high ground tower, Li Fan's Yasuo once again performed a wonderful operation. While Janna's Q skill knocked up the Renekton, he followed up with his ultimate, and landed with a double wind EQ combo to kill the Renekton who had been engaged!
The crocodile, having activated its ultimate ability, instantly melted, and WE's defense completely collapsed.

"One wave! We can go for one wave!" the doll shouted excitedly.

At 28 minutes and 17 seconds, WE's base crystal exploded under the siege of five EDG players!

"Congratulations to EDG for taking the first game! They are just one step away from tying the record of sixteen consecutive wins!" Wawa announced loudly.

The MVP award undoubtedly went to Li Fan's Yasuo. His godlike performance, perfect KDA, and several brilliant plays that decided the outcome of team fights captivated everyone.

[1-0! One more game!]

Come on, WE! We can't let EDG break the record so easily! The second-place team in the group has the advantage against the first-place team!

After a short break, both players returned to the court.

The WE players' expressions were even more serious than in the first game.

EDG's expression remained unchanged; they were about to achieve a sixteen-game winning streak, and no one wanted to fail at this crucial moment.

"WE needs to make adjustments. In the last game, their lineup was completely suppressed by EDG in the early game. This game, we'll see how Coach Redmi breaks the deadlock," Miller said.

In the second game, WE was on the blue side, and EDG was on the red side.

WE proactively changed their strategy, banning Yasuo, Kalista, and Janna in the first three picks. They were clearly intimidated by Li Fan's Yasuo in the previous game, and also continued to limit EDG's bot lane.

EDG retaliated by banning Kled, Zac, and Kog'Maw, maintaining WE's core strategy.

WE immediately picked Jarvan IV, who can be played in both top lane and jungle, making him a versatile pick.

EDG instantly locked in Sejuani and Lulu on the first and second floors, ensuring Clearlove's rhythm heroes and the current meta support.

WE then acquired Tristana and Braum, forming a bot lane duo with stronger early-game competitiveness.

EDG was on the third floor and chose Taliyah for Li Fan.

“Taliyah! Unreal's Taliyah! This is also one of his signature champions, with extremely strong early-game wave clear and roaming capabilities!” Miller said.

In the second round, WE banned Caitlyn and Cho'Gath, continuing to limit EDG's top and bottom lanes.

EDG banned Orianna and Cassiopeia to prevent Xiye from getting a reliable late-game carry.

WE locked in Galio for Xiye on the fourth floor! And Lee Sin on the fifth floor.

The intention is clear: to use Galio's wave clear and support capabilities to counter Taliyah's roaming.

"Galio versus Taliyah! Now it's a battle of who can dictate the pace of the game in mid lane!" said the doll.

Generally speaking, Galio has a slight advantage here.

EDG's last two picks were Shen and Xayah, forming a global support system, and they were not afraid of the bot lane matchup.

Blue side WE: Top lane Jarvan IV, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane duo Tristana and Braum.

Red team EDG: Top lane Shen, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Taliyah, bot lane duo Xayah and Lulu.

WE didn't choose Ardent Censer support, which surprised everyone.

"WE's lineup in this game is clearly more proactive, and their fighting power in the early and mid-game is very strong! EDG, on the other hand, is more focused on supporting and counter-attacking. We'll see how they deal with WE's offensive! However, EDG doesn't need to be under too much offensive pressure because they have the advantage of the Ardent Censer," Su Xiaoyan analyzed.

"So they have to play more aggressively... they have to gain an advantage in the early game, otherwise they won't have many good opportunities later on."

As expected, Lee Sin was extremely aggressive in the early game, invading Clearlove's red buff jungle right from the start.

However, the factory manager was prepared, and the two junglers swapped jungle areas without any conflict breaking out.

In the mid lane, Li Fan's Taliyah faced off against Xi Ye's Galio.

Both heroes are skilled at pushing lanes and roaming, and they immediately engaged in a fierce lane-pushing battle.

Li Fan used Taliyah's passive movement speed bonus to dodge Galio's Gale, while simultaneously using Stone Pierce to precisely whittle down Galio's health.

To play Taliyah well, you need to learn to constantly utilize your passive ability...

"The mid lane push is intense; neither side wants to be pushed and roamed around by the other," Miller observed.

However, Li Fan's Rock Sparrow is superior in its attention to detail.

He always finds opportunities to harass Galio during his last-hitting moments and keeps the minion wave firmly in the middle of the river, slightly ahead of him.

Six minutes into the game, Taliyah and Galio reached level six almost simultaneously!

At that moment, the factory manager's Sejuani had already quietly made her way to the bottom lane!
"The factory manager is here! Is there any chance for the bot lane this time?"

At that moment, Li Fan used a single skill combo to cripple Galio...

Although Galio was level six, he was unable to provide support to the bottom lane, but Li Fan was able to provide support to the bottom lane at this time.

"Taliyah used her ultimate! She's going to block the road!"

A massive stone wall precisely blocked the retreat route of WE's bottom lane duo!
"A four-man gank on the bottom lane! EDG's classic four-man gank on the bottom lane!"

WE's bot lane duo knew something was wrong when they saw the stone wall rising from the ground behind them, but it was too late!
Factory Manager Sejuani followed up with control, and Li Fan's Taliyah slid down from the wall curtain, scattering stones followed by stone penetration, instantly maximizing damage!
Despite Lee Sin's timely arrival, he could only watch helplessly as his bot lane duo fell one after another in the face of EDG's four-man focus fire.

Xayah got a double kill!

"Double Kill!"

"Great! EDG's four-man gank on the bot lane was so decisive! Taliyah's ultimate was perfect for blocking the path! WE's bot lane is doomed!" Wawa exclaimed excitedly.

Holy crap! That's a Taliyah!

[Broken Galio and flew straight to the bottom lane? Unreal's roaming timing!]

WE's bot lane is gone again...

This shift in momentum became the turning point of the game.

After securing a double kill, Xayah recalled to base and immediately bought a B.F. Sword, giving her a huge advantage in the laning phase.

After pushing the lane, Li Fan's Taliyah roamed to the top lane again, and with the help of Shen's taunt and Sejuani, easily killed 957's Jarvan IV who had no Flash.

"Top laner is dead too! EDG's momentum is picking up! In less than ten minutes, WE has won on all three lanes!"

Taking advantage of the situation, EDG secured the first Rift Herald and placed it directly in the mid lane, easily destroying WE's mid lane tower.

Just 15 minutes into the game, EDG's economic advantage had already expanded to over 5,000!
Taliyah and Xayah have significantly better equipment.

The rest of the match completely fell into EDG's signature operational rhythm.

They used their vision advantage and the quick support from Taliyah and Shen to constantly plunder WE's jungle resources, compressing their development space.

WE tried to regain control by engaging with Jarvan IV and Galio, but EDG's excellent kiting and Lulu and Shen's protection repeatedly thwarted WE's team fights.

At 25 minutes, EDG took advantage of the vision difference at Baron and killed Baron.

When WE arrived to scout, EDG countered with a team fight, resulting in a 1-for-3 exchange.

With the Baron buff, EDG split pushed down all three lanes.

The huge economic disadvantage and the pressure on the minion waves made WE's defense seem powerless.

At 28 minutes, EDG stormed WE's high ground.

After a devastating team fight, they destroyed WE's base crystal once again!
"Victory!"

"It's over... 2-0! Let's congratulate EDG on defeating WE and achieving a terrifying 16-game winning streak, tying the LPL's longest single-season winning streak record!" Wawa's voice was full of passion.

The stadium erupted in cheers, and the black EDG team flags once again flooded the stands.

In the live stream, WE fans were wailing in despair:
Still can't do it...?

The gap is too big, especially in the mid lane.

From laning phase to macro play, they completely crushed us; there was absolutely no hope of winning.

Unreal Engine is too strong! Thirty-three games, fourteen heroes, and he carried every single one!

[With the right timing, the right people, and the right location, WE only has the right timing, the right people, and the right location!]
