League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 350 A Comeback? Not a chance!

Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow as he looked at the logo iboy displayed.

He couldn't help but awaken some long-forgotten memories.

This sign can't be displayed!

Meanwhile, on the SKT player bench, the SKT players watched Xayah leave with her ping on, their faces expressionless.

Although the current disadvantage is huge, even Faker, who has extensive gaming experience, can vaguely calculate that the economic gap has exceeded 10,000.

But they didn't think they had lost.

They have Rakan, Orianna, and Twitch, all of whom are top-notch team fight specialists.

As long as they reach their team fight potential, they can turn the tide even if they are 20,000 behind, let alone 10,000!

"The dragon is about to spawn, they'll definitely be going for the mid lane." Wolf adjusted his glasses and said, "This is an opportunity. I'll go ward and camp, you guys stay put."

The mid lane is a well-connected area with many opportunities to flank and ambush, making this SKT's best chance!

"Alright." Lee Sang-hyeok's tone was quite calm as he said, "Let's have the final battle in the middle lane."

Before long, the situation began to develop in the direction SKT had anticipated.

The dragon will respawn in ten seconds, and EDG should naturally push the mid lane first.

With a single hook from Hurricane Xayah, an entire wave of minions was wiped out.

At this moment, the ancient coins on Meiko's screen began to take effect, and three gold coins fell to the ground.

Each of these gold coins provides 40 gold in economy to the support.

When Meiko saw the money, she instinctively wanted to pick it up.

But in that instant, his conversation with QG from yesterday inexplicably flashed through his mind.

"I'll just pick Janna and stand in the back to protect Jian Zihao. If anyone tries to attack, I'll just use my ultimate. I often don't even pick up the gold coins dropped by Ancient Coins. Who can kill me?"

"We at EDG are known for our discipline; we don't give anyone a chance!"

"what?"

"Huh? Isn't that how it is?"

"I don't know, but during the summer finals, I felt like I could seize any opportunity you had, and I could catch you one by one."

Meiko glanced again at the empty riverbed and grass beside her.

No, you can't pick up this gold coin!

There might be people lurking around here; picking it up could cause problems.

At that very moment, a flash of light appeared in the bushes that Meiko was watching, and Rakan charged out with his ultimate ability activated!

Why is this version of Rakan so strong? His ultimate has no delay or casting time; R-Flash-W is executed flawlessly, instantly achieving a 1000-yard charm lift!

Unlike later versions, ultimate skills have a 0.5-second cast time, during which Flash and W cannot be used. Often, this 0.5 seconds can be the difference between life and death.

In this version of Rakan, he can almost always hit his target when the opponent is completely unprepared.

Even if you're prepared, you can still drive there because it's so fast that most people can't react in time!

Fortunately, Meiko was prepared for this, and he's no ordinary person.

The professional player's reaction was pushed to the limit at this moment. Almost the instant he saw Luo flash, his finger was on the ultimate move!

Janna instantly raised her staff and unleashed a [Revival Monsoon]!

While Luo was still using his W dash, he was forcibly blown away by Janna's ultimate!

"Holy crap!" Chen Dongqing's eyes widened in disbelief. "Awesome!"

Upon seeing Janna's ultimate ability, the entire EDG team broke out in a cold sweat!

Just now, the four of them were standing together.

If Luo Chong gets in my face, I might just get carried away by four people!

I can't even imagine pairing it with a clockwork mouse.

The thought of this filled the EDG players with rage!

Damn it, you guys still want to turn things around?

Dream on!

At this moment, Bang's Rat appeared on the side. His original idea was to follow Rakan's engage and deal damage, but as Rakan's engage failed, he became the target of everyone's criticism.

Knowing that the rat had neither cleanse nor flash, the factory manager didn't hesitate and immediately unleashed his ultimate, which Sejuani precisely froze!

On the other side, Faker wanted to use his ultimate to force a team fight, but this time he obviously didn't have much of a chance.

A single ultimate ability from Orianna is unlikely to hit a professional player who has a countermeasure.

A-Guang flashed, iboy pressed his ultimate to become invincible, and Orianna's big R hit a Janna, which was obviously useless.

After Xayah's ultimate landed, iboy used E-Flash to hook Bang and kill him from full health!

Scout and A-Guang then targeted Orianna, and under Maokai's control, Ryze unleashed a combo that sent Faker packing!

With a 10,000 gold difference, this kind of head-on team fight is obviously easy to win!

In the end, EDG unsurprisingly pulled off a perfect 5-0 exchange!

After winning the team fight, the team pushed down the mid lane and won the game!

EDG demonstrated near-perfect macro play and tempo control in this match, easily sweeping SKT in just 24 minutes!

The cheers from the audience nearly exploded instantly, leaving everyone astonished.

Including their own fans.

They really didn't expect EDG to crush SKT like this!

EDG, a team that never disappoints when it comes to disappointment, actually let us down today!

On the other hand, the LCK commentators were much more dejected. Even the Roaring Emperor couldn't find a reason to remain silent.

Yesterday, they could say it was a case of a lower-class horse beating a higher-class horse, so it was normal that they couldn't win.

But today even their best horses couldn't beat the average horses, so what can we say?

SKT, you're such a disappointment!

In the live stream, the EDG players were incredibly excited. Everyone stood up and high-fived each other, as if they had won the championship. They clapped with more confidence, and all five of them were all smiling.

On the other side, Faker had a completely blank expression and didn't say a word.

They came to this World Championship specifically to face QG.

Unexpectedly, they didn't even qualify to face QG, and were defeated by EDG, which he found unacceptable.

I must train extra hard when I get back!

This World Championship is one we absolutely cannot miss.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing happily put away his phone.

This time, EDG held onto their 10,000 gold lead and didn't let SKT turn the tide.

That put his mind at ease.

The only team that could turn the tide against EDG with a mere 10,000 gold difference is QG!

Not long after, QG's bus slowly stopped in the parking lot. When Chen Dongqing got off the bus, he happened to run into the EDG team who were leaving after the match.

Having just crushed SKT in a match, the EDG players were incredibly excited and waved to Chen Dongqing.

"How so?" the factory manager asked right off the bat. "How would you rate your performance this time?"

"Ten out of ten!" Chen Dongqing gave a thumbs up: "The early game pace was indeed excellent, and Tianye's final ultimate move was a real 'sparrow eats cricket'!"

Meiko chuckled and said, "I told you, EDG is the team that gives us the least chance!"

Ah Guang, with a soothing smile, said, "If EDG won, then QG definitely can't lose, right?"

"Don't worry!" Chen Dongqing patted his chest. "It's just TSM, we can't lose!"

The two teams then parted ways, one entering the field and the other leaving.

As Chen Dongqing finished her makeup and other routines and sat in the lounge, the second match began, with LMS No. 1 seed Flash Wolves facing off against Europe's No. 2 seed MSF.

The European second seed is no weak team; Chen Dongqing was quite impressed with them.

The team name MSF might be unfamiliar to some, but if you call them by their nickname "Rabbit Team," it might be more familiar to domestic audiences.

In their previous life, the Rabbit team once pulled out top-tier unconventional strategies in the quarterfinals, such as Ivern jungle, Blitzcrank support, and Fervor Leona, pushing SKT to the brink of defeat!

Even in the fifth game, SKT only managed a hard-fought comeback to advance to the semifinals.

If the Rabbits had held onto their lead in the fifth inning, history might have been completely different.

Overall, they are definitely a strong team.

In this match, MSF's AD carry, Hans Sama, once again demonstrated his exceptional skill. With a score of 2-0-1, he farmed until the 30-minute mark, completing a three-item build including Guinsoo's Rageblade, Runaan's Hurricane, and Wit's End. With Janna's Ardent Censer, he easily pushed down Flash Wolves and secured the victory!

On the second day of the group stage, the entertainment value finally arrived.

The fact that both Flash Wolves and SKT, the two group leaders, suffered consecutive defeats has added a bloody element to this year's group stage.

Not long after, the third match began, this time it was KT vs. AHQ in Group C.

There's not much to say about this match. Even the LMS's top team, Flash Wolves, lost. How can the second-best team, AHQ, expect to win?

Chen Dongqing wasn't interested in the match, so he simply took out his phone and browsed various posts.

At this moment, the anti-GG forum was like a Chinese New Year celebration. Everyone was in high spirits, praising EDG wildly while completely condemning SKT.

The countless piglets were overjoyed, striding about with high spirits!

Chen Dongqing was scrolling through these posts with a smile, but he didn't expect to stumble upon some gossip about himself.

Breaking news! TSM is up to its old tricks on Twitter again!

Chen Dongqing clicked into the post and saw a screenshot from TSM's official Twitter account.

Why are so many people asking me how to beat QG today? Come on, this team takes forty minutes to beat SSG, so how can they possibly beat TSM? They're doomed! QG!

The official TSM Twitter account also attached a picture to the tweet, a classic image of the Grim Reaper knocking on the door.

In the image, Death is knocking on the first door, and the QG team logo is printed on the door.

This post was absolutely outrageous, and even our own people in North America couldn't stand it anymore. They quickly left comments under the post, signaling their team to tone it down and not go too far.

Chen Dongqing continued scrolling down, and to his surprise, the members of the Anti-Japanese Bar did not show much resistance to this arrogant statement. On the contrary, everyone was joking around happily and seemed to quite like seeing this scene.

Of course, the reason why the forum members have this confidence is because they believe that QG cannot lose.

Given the vast difference in strength, TSM's boastful remarks only seem ridiculous and endearing.

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw the post. He immediately found it amusing and opened Twitter to find the post from TSM's official account.

Underneath this post, the "Master of Pranks" also happily forwarded and commented, and posted words of praise.

Chen Dongqing thought for a moment, then opened the post and commented below: "Tell me, how many minutes do you want to lose the game?"

Chen Dongqing's Twitter account last interacted with someone on Twitter, and that interaction alone brought him 200K followers!

Countless people saw Chen Dongqing appear in person and then left comments below.

[I predict a flat sweep within 25 minutes?]

[Not a 20-minute sweep?]

[Not a 15-minute sweep?]

[Fifteen minutes? That's ridiculous! These are all professional teams!]

[In the previous Intercontinental Cup, QG defeated LZ in sixteen minutes, and against TSM, it would probably take around twenty minutes.]

[You TSM guys don't think you're better than the original poster, do you?]

[? Our North American number one seed hasn't even reached the semifinals as well as a South Korean veteran?]

Please, give us some face and slow down the killing!

Chen Dongqing looked at the comments and couldn't help but grin.

It seems that even North American audiences have high expectations for them.

Chen Dongqing continued to tap his fingers and interact with the North American audience, clearly enjoying himself.

Before long, the third game on the field had also ended. KT played quite steadily in this game, suppressing AHQ on all three lanes and successfully ending the game in 27 minutes.

Next up, it's QG's turn to take the stage.

Linko concluded by encouraging everyone, "Come on, guys! Do your best! Let's try to win this quickly today, okay?"

Perhaps because he had watched his teammates clock out in the locker room for 30 minutes too often, Linko was genuinely worried about losing when the game dragged on forty minutes yesterday.

We can't let this happen again today!

Chen Dongqing patted Linko on the shoulder and laughed, "Just book the restaurant and wait. I guarantee it'll be quick today!"

European and American teams, like QG, also enjoy chaotic battles.

When these two sides start fighting, the game is destined to be short!

When the five members of QG appeared on stage, they immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience and, as expected, received cheers from a large number of fans!

Our LPL's pride is on stage!

Chen Dongqing waved to the audience as usual, then sat down in his seat, entered the competition room, and entered competitive mode.

This time, QG was positioned on the red side. With the reliable ban of Kalista, Banbazi's draft was somewhat limited.

Fortunately, TSM on the other side faced greater restrictions.

Fiora must be banned. QG's last match proved that Caitlyn also needs to be banned. Jayce and Sejuani also need to be banned, and we should even consider banning Lulu or Janna!

Even on the blue side, TSM simply didn't have enough ban slots!

Ultimately, they had no choice but to ban Fiora, Caitlyn, and Lulu, and then pick Janna instead.

But QG also suffered from stomach problems.

Since you've already picked Janna, you can't pick Rakan anymore, and the Xayah-Rakan combo can be easily won.

Next, TSM locked in a Twitch, and then picked Sejuani.

QG then locked in the excavator and entered the second round of draft picks.

It's clear that TSM was worried about Chen Dongqing, so they banned Jayce first, and then Galio, filling the top lane ban list to the maximum.

Did you think Galio was banned specifically to counter the Camille-Galio combo? Actually, it was just to prevent the Camille-Galio pairing from being picked.

Next up was QG's turn to choose. This time, they naturally went for the mid lane. After much deliberation, Gao Dewei finally decided to pick Orianna to supplement their lineup with crowd control and AP damage.

Following that, TSM locked in Cho'Gath and Gyrocopter, essentially betting on the late game.

QG certainly wouldn't give them a chance in the later stages.

"Chen Dongqing, let's go for something strong," Banbazi said. "We have everything we need this game. If you pick someone strong in the early game, we'll crush them in thirty minutes! Let them say we were too slow to win last game?"

"What else is there to say?" Chen Dongqing leaned back dramatically and said nonchalantly, "Bring me Kled! If I can't kill him twice in seven minutes, I'll eat my hat!"

Shi Senming was always obedient, and without even getting the coach's permission, he quickly found Klie and locked him in!

Banbazi, of course, wouldn't object; he simply patted the players on the chest and said, "Good luck, it's up to you!"

Chen Dongqing waved his hand: "Don't worry."

There were two small foreshadowing elements planted earlier. But it seems like no one noticed them. EDG definitely can't let SKT turn things around.

The only team capable of turning the tide against EDG with a mere 10,000 gold advantage is QG!

PS: What kind of rubbish did Uzi play in the first game? He just happily sent himself away in two minutes, huh?

EDG's strategy isn't very effective either. I can understand their idea of ​​picking Renekton to hold the early game and Tristana and Zephyr with double Statikk Shivs to clear waves and drag the game into the late game.

But this doesn't seem to suit EDG's roster, does it?

The real Uzi is not the Uzi in our book; he simply cannot develop under pressure.

Didn't they win the regular season by relying on their three-man bot lane?

It would be better to pick Lucian for Uzi and let him fight. Even if he loses, it's okay. Don't pick Zephyr. This Zephyr has no proficiency.

Yesterday we said goodbye to Bingbing, and today we're saying goodbye to Uzi? WBG, you've done so many bad things!
