League: Educating LPL is my duty.

Chapter 383 Sweating in Advance

The third day of the group stage has arrived in the blink of an eye. Today's match for EDG is still their last match, so EDG is not in a hurry and will first calmly watch the premiere of the match.

The first match today is between WE and the North American Snakes. On paper, WE is clearly the one with the advantage. However, since the North American Snakes beat the Flash Wolves yesterday, no one dares to say that WE will definitely win.

The match started quickly, and the North American Snake team played aggressively from the start, attacking all lanes and their jungler was also making frequent plays. In less than ten minutes, they gained a certain advantage.

Guan Zeyuan said with some surprise, "TSM is playing so aggressively. It feels like they were playing like this yesterday against Flash Wolves. They've been on the offensive from the very beginning. WE doesn't seem to have caught up yet, and their rhythm has been disrupted."

Miller chimed in: "Actually, this is also a characteristic of some strong European and American teams. Their strategy is to fight you, without much strategy. The game is very bloody from the start, and if you can't defend, you will lose."

Rita looked at the screen and steered the conversation back to the match: "It looks like Lee Sin is going to make a move again. Xiye is in a dangerous position in the mid lane. He hasn't spotted Lee Sin yet. He landed a ward hop Q, followed by an R flash. He's probably done for."

As the game progressed, although WE managed to stabilize their position somewhat, the economic gap between the two sides did not narrow. On the contrary, because WE was hesitant to fight, the economic gap continued to widen as neutral resources were lost.

At 27 minutes into the game, TSM won a team fight, secured their first Baron Nashor, and began a full-scale push.

WE still dared not initiate team fights, retreating step by step, and ultimately gave up all the outer towers and the top lane inhibitor.

At this point, those in the know basically realized that WE had no chance in this game.

Another ten minutes passed, and Miller said in a slightly dejected voice, "Xiye is still dealing damage. Can you trade one for him? If not, TSM traded one for one with WE. In that case, it's going to be over. Congratulations to TSM for getting two consecutive wins in the group stage and temporarily taking first place in the group."

"This is WE's first loss in the World Championship group stage, and also the first loss for the LPL region. Hopefully, they can adjust their form as soon as possible, since their chances of advancing are still relatively clear," Guan Zeyuan said.

"That's right, it's just a small loss, so don't worry too much. All three teams in our region have matches today, and EDG has already won two consecutive games. After the last match against C9 today, we can basically secure our qualification."

Rita continued to emphasize the main point, and although the match hadn't started yet, her words implicitly confirmed EDG's victory.

[Losing to North America? As expected, Xila made me laugh!]

I still need to watch EDG's matches; I'm sure they'll win big again when I wake up.

[It's happening again. I wonder who was so scared yesterday that they didn't even dare to lane and ran to mid instead.]

That's right, they're only good for picking on the weak.

[Faker: Are you talking about me being a pushover?]

The group stage loss did not cause too much of a stir, after all, WE was only the third seed, and everyone's expectation for them was to make it to the quarterfinals.

The second match was between the Rabbits and the Flash Wolves. Judging from their overall performance, the two teams were evenly matched, with their economies closely tied.

However, Flash Wolves were indeed in poor form. Once the team fights started, several players took turns giving away opportunities, and unsurprisingly, they lost the game.

In the third match, G2 faced off against the wildcard team FB. The outcome was predictable: G2 easily won the game.

Next up was the match between RNG and SSG. This match saw a significant increase in popularity, with viewership in the LPL and LCK broadcast rooms rising rapidly.

Since the two teams had faced off in the previous Intercontinental Cup, with RNG ultimately winning, RNG's support rate was slightly higher.

After the match started, RNG did play very well, especially in the bottom lane. Uzi was exceptionally aggressive against Ruler, dominating him almost the entire time.

"RNG's rhythm is very good. With them taking the second Baron, they have put economic pressure on Samsung. Now Samsung is finding it difficult to hold on." Miller seemed very satisfied with the situation.

However, Guan Zeyuan, who was standing to the side, had a different opinion. He forced a smile and said, "That's right, RNG's performance was indeed very good. Now Samsung needs to find an opportunity to try and take action. If Uzi is targeted, the outcome may be uncertain."

Imagine is one thing, reality is another. RNG ultimately gave SSG no chance, winning the first team fight and pushing down the base in one fell swoop.

The fifth match was between SKT and AHQ. This match itself wasn't particularly noteworthy, as the two teams were not on the same level.

What was rather surprising was that after Faker picked LeBlanc in the mid lane, he played exceptionally aggressively. Whether in lane or roaming, every move he made resulted in the opponent being either dead or severely wounded. This led to him being jokingly referred to as "Little C" in the online chat.

As the break ended, the camera panned to the players' bench, where players from both EDG and C9 were already setting up their equipment and preparing for the match.

Miller commented on the scene, "C9 is actually a team we've known for a long time. Their top laner is DaMu, the champion top laner of SKT in Season 3. Among the many wildcard teams, their strength is considered to be among the top."

Guan Zeyuan nodded slightly: "That's right, but I still have more faith in the EDG team. Their performance in the World Championship is still at the high level they have been this year, with both match time and gold difference ranking first in the league."

"After all, C-God is there. As long as C-God is on the field, EDG will always win. Although C9 has a former champion top laner, if they don't take him seriously, they might have a hard time beating him," Rita added.

"Actually, the most frustrating thing is that C9 is on the red side in this game. They are under a lot of pressure in terms of bans. There are many heroes that cannot be left unbanned. Now that the bans have started, EDG banned Cho'Gath in the first round, and C9 banned Jayce first."

As Miller spoke, the broadcast switched to the match footage. It was EDG's turn to remove their second player. Without much thought, Kha'Zix was the first to be eliminated.

On C9's side, coach Reapered was already sweating.

Since being placed in Group A and having to compete with EDG and SKT for a spot in the knockout stage, he had essentially given up deep down.

Especially EDG, he still doesn't know what to do.

He reviewed many of Li Chen's match videos and finally concluded that no matter how he targeted Li Chen, his opponents seemed to always collapse.
