This Lee Sang-hyeok is very strong, but he lacks self-awareness.

"Am I fucking weaker than the enemy mid laner?"

"Keep picking Taliyah and Karma for me every game!"

"Ban the mid laner three times in every game."

Am I really worse than them?

"Kkoma told me before the match that I should pick Azir, but when I got to the game, he banned it during the draft phase. Was he kidding me?"

Faker recalled the scene after losing to RNG in the S7 semifinals.

That year, EDG's dynasty was crumbling, while RNG made a strong comeback.

The internal strife alone has already exhausted the top teams in the LPL.

This year was hailed as the most promising year for LCK.

Faker led SKT to a perfect record in the Spring Split and won the MSI championship, defeating G2 in the second round.

They then went on to win the Summer Split championship, and only need one more World Championship to achieve an unprecedented Grand Slam.

That year, Faker was full of pride and joy.

So what if LPL won the first six championships?

I have one crown.

Super Uzi!

But everything changed in the semifinals.

Kkoma had him practice Tsar all night before the match.

The purpose was to use picks instead of bans, preventing Xiaohu, the God of Azir, from getting his best champion.

However, during the draft phase, Kkoma was still worried about Faker's Azir and banned it for five consecutive games.

Even though Xiaohu picked Galio five times, Kkoma insisted on not letting Faker pick Orianna or Syndra, those late-game carry mages who could easily get spinning tops.

Insist that Faker picks Karma, and Taliyah follows Galio.

Faker wasn't given the plane until the very last game.

But it was too late.

After the match, it was the only time in Faker's professional career that he lost control.

Am I really worse than the enemy mid laner?

These are the words he kept asking himself.

In fact, if his only goal was to make money, he would have already accumulated enough savings to live a carefree life during the three years of rapid development of League of Legends esports from S4 to S7.

If he retires, he will no longer need to train day and night, nor will he need to worry about his hand injury every day.

No longer is it necessary to meticulously study each version change word by word.

He could also go to a casino, play Texas Hold'em, or get double eyelid surgery.

But he always felt that these things should belong to him.

He always felt that the opposing mid laner shouldn't be as good as him.

He should be the one lifting the S-series trophy.

This feeling gradually disappeared in the following years, and he began to fear LPL players.

He forgot why he was still playing professionally.

Today, he finally remembered.

I've been playing this game to prove I'm no weaker than you guys!

"Titan goes bot lane, I'll go top lane, we'll get the Rift Herald later."

Lee Sang-hyeok gave the instructions via voice message.

Thanks to the kill and tower takeover in the top lane in the previous wave, Nautilus's items have caught up with Camille's again.

But he knew Mouse wasn't good at laning, so he simply sent him to the bottom lane to push the lane.

Galio, with his excellent wave clear ability, took over the top lane minion wave after returning to base to replenish his equipment.

At this point, there is one minute left before the Rift Herald spawns.

"Galio is pushing the top lane, Xiaohu's Taliyah has entered the jungle, and Xiangguo's Gragas is also approaching. Galio is in a bit of danger."

Guan Zeyuan analyzed the minimap.

"Is EDG planning to sell Galio? No, wait, Jarvan IV and the bot lane duo have disappeared from mid lane and are all rushing top!"

Remember to keep your eyes glued to the screen:

"RNG wants to make a move! They think that although Galio is doing well, he can be killed if they provide enough crowd control. Lulu has already given Taliyah a speed boost!"

In the video, Lee Sang-hyeok's Galio is dealing with low-health minions near the top lane river bush.

Suddenly, a rock spur emerged from the ground!

Xiao Hu's prediction was very accurate, but Li Xianghe reacted even faster, using a near-right-angle movement to break free of control.

At the same time, she used her Q skill, Battle Wind, to slow down the Taliyah who was trying to close in.

"Damn, how did he react so quickly?"

Xiao Hu cursed, but the barrel behind him had already arrived.

Exploding barrel!

Galio activated his E skill, Righteous Punch, which negated Gragas's crowd control.

Although Galio's dash was intercepted by Gragas' E,

But Galio immediately activated Durand's Shield, taunting Taliyah, Gragas, and Lulu.

"My God! That positioning! That skill combo!" I remember shouting until my voice was hoarse.

"Galio was surrounded by three people, and he's actually pulling back! He's waiting for his teammates!"

Holy crap, Galio was so tanky this time!

[Gragas' ultimate was essentially wasted; Galio's W taunted three people, wasting a lot of time.]

EDG's support came so fast, RNG is finished.

[At the pot!]

After taunting, Galio slowly walked towards his own defensive turret.

Just as RNG unleashed all their burst damage on Galio,

A blue flag pierced the sky and landed firmly at the foot of the rock sparrow.

Lin Xiu's prince attacked from the flank, using his EQ combo to knock up Taliyah and Lulu, who were about to finish off the attackers.

Immediately afterwards, a teleportation beam lit up at the ward in the river.

Titan TP has arrived!

"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Lin Xiu roared in the voice chat, "Brother Li, support me!"

Lee Sang-hyeok's eyes were as calm as ice. He only had a third of his health left, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.

He unleashed his ultimate attack on the prince who was charging into the crowd.

"The hero has arrived!"

The massive righteous formation instantly covered the entire area of ​​the team battle.

Because they were in such a hurry to kill Galio, the RNG players were positioned very close together.

"boom!"

Galio descended from the sky, and the massive shockwave knocked RNG's mid, jungle, and support players into the air.

Zet's Varus activated his ultimate, "Chains of Corruption," on the flank.

Meiko's Karma provides a RE group shield.

"Taliyah's down! Gragas's trapped too! Ming tried to escape, but Nautilus's hook sealed his fate!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice was filled with disbelief:

"A 3-for-0 exchange! EDG executed a near-perfect defensive counter-attack before the Rift Herald team fight!"

"Is this Galio a monster? He unleashed his entire skill combo right in front of three people, and he's still alive?"

Remember to take a deep breath:

"That's Faker for you. He's not unaware that he's risking his life to lure RNG into the game."

[A ten-year fan here uninvited! This guy is just too damn handsome!]

[Lin Family Army, assemble! Where are the brothers who said the battle would be over in twenty minutes? Come out and wash your hair!]

Is this what they call a "do whatever you want" combination?

I hereby declare that my sights are set on the World Championship!

[Uzi must have felt utterly dejected while farming in the mid lane, right? A glance at his teammates, and they're all in the dark.]

[Still washing up? Why isn't Uzi playing?]

The camera focused on RNG's training area.

Xiao Hu leaned back in his chair, looking dejectedly at the black screen.

Xiangguo was scratching his head frantically, but anyone could see how frustrated he looked.

The pace of this game has completely slipped out of RNG's control.

Abu was so excited he could barely sit still in the locker room, staring at the score on the screen.

EDG 6:2 RNG.

In less than fifteen minutes, the economic lead had reached 3,500 yuan.

"Mingkai, look." Abu pointed at the screen, his voice trembling.

"This is the real EDG, this is the EDG of your peak!"

The factory manager stared at the prince on the screen for a long time before whispering:

"He was definitely more handsome than I was back then."
