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

The black-clad, dual-bladed assassin, representing ultimate killing, appeared in the center of the screen.

"Zed? If you're talking about ranked games, I'd say it's a good choice."

"Zed can bypass Lulu and Karma's tight defenses and directly damage Kog'Maw."

"But this is a professional match. Lulu will definitely stick close to Kog'Maw, plus Karma's shield and Polymorph,"

"Besides, can you really guarantee that all your skills will hit?"

"Can Faker really turn today's match into his personal showcase?"

"I don't think he can do it."

"Therefore, I think it was a terrible move, and you could even say that EDG has started to give up entirely."

The voice I remembered cracked immediately.

The camera focused on Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu was not nervous at all. Instead, he pointed to Faker next to him and the camera immediately turned to Faker.

Faker took off his headphones, listened to the noise in the arena, and made a shushing gesture.

[Holy crap, you picked Zed? Are you playing in Silver?]

[Faker has gone mad, insisting he was playing ranked games today.]

[Lulu's here, then a sheep comes in, what are you going to do?]

Meanwhile, Xiaohu, who was watching the live stream, couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Guys, look at this draft! Zed against Karma? They're treating the World Championship like ranked!"

"If Su Hanwei doesn't twist Faker's head off this game, I'll eat my monitor on stream. Picking him is just feeding."

Meanwhile, Icon in the adjacent livestream room remained silent for a long time, a complex look flashing in his eyes, before slowly speaking:

"A madman! Daring to pick this hero when the score is 0-2, if he succeeds he'll be a god, if he loses he'll be a laughing stock for life. I want to see if he can succeed."

The loading screen appears.

The third round has officially begun!

"Alright, the match officially begins! WE didn't play conservatively despite having three match points; instead, they went all out, trying to put pressure on EDG at the entrance to the jungle."

Remember to keep a close eye on the minimap and pay close attention to the positioning of both sides at level one.

Lin Xiu bought his jungle item and leisurely walked towards his own red buff area.

He appeared unusually relaxed, even casually sending a signal to Faker as he passed the mid-lane bush:

"Brother Li, he'll definitely pressure you at level one. Let him pressure you, but don't lose too much health. I'll come at level two."

Faker didn't say anything, he just nodded silently.

In the mid lane, Xiye's Karma played extremely aggressively.

As one of the most stable mid laners in the LPL, he is well aware of Zed's weaknesses: short range and slow wave clear before level 3.

As soon as he went online, he used RQ to precisely cover the back row minions.

This high-intensity push forced Zed to linger in front of the tower.

Xiye seemed to think it wasn't enough, so he leveled up W at level one to continue the pressure.

"Look, Xiye played very smartly. He knew he couldn't let Zed reach level three comfortably."

"Karma's pressure in the first three levels is at its maximum. Faker can only retreat now, and even last-hitting minions seems very difficult," Guan Zeyuan analyzed.

However, the moment Lin Xiu finished taking down the red buff, he didn't go to collect his F6 camp, but instead went directly to the top of the mid-lane river.

"Pushing this deep into level one? Do you think I'm just good at grinding?" Lin Xiu sneered.

Instead of emerging directly from the bushes, he timed his attack perfectly, striking decisively when Karma moved forward to use her Q on Zed!

"Brother Li, now's the time!"

Lin Xiu's barrel suddenly emerged from the shadows without any warning, instantly using an E-Flash!

Xiye's pupils contracted sharply; he clearly hadn't expected Lin Xiu to use a level two Flash to grab him directly!

Zed moved even faster, using his Q skill to pierce Karma's body the instant she was knocked up, followed by a quick EA combo to trigger Thunderlord's Decree.

"First Blood!"

The system announcement echoed throughout the canyon.

"First Blood! It's Lin Xiu again! His jungler's thought process is really different from normal people!"

Remember to shout, "Level 2 E-Flash gank, combined with Zed's burst damage, just enough to secure Xiye's kill!"

"WE's mid lane is having a tough time in the early game, and Zed might actually have some room to shine."

The mid-lane battle reached a fever pitch, and Zed after reaching level three became Xiye's complete nightmare.

"WQ double standards! They hit the mark completely!" Remember exclaimed. "My god, how could they hit the mark completely? How could Faker's Q be at such a tricky angle? Was he calculating Karma's turnaround time?"

Xiye wanted to counterattack with his Q skill, but found that Zed had deftly dodged the skill with an extremely subtle right-angle movement.

He then used his E skill again, hitting Karma with his shadow and triggering Thunderlord's Decree once more.

In just one minute, Karma, who had brought medicine with her, was so exhausted by the attack that she had to go back home.

"This kind of suppressive power is terrifying," Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.

"Is this really Zed from Naruto? He beat Karma so badly she didn't dare leave her tower in a professional match. Is this really not the 'Sheng of Heaven'?"

However, the director then switched the camera to a close-up of Faker.

"Why is he shaking again? Really?"

In the video, Faker's hands move with fluid grace, but his head is trembling violently.

[Holy crap, look, he's doing it again!]

[Shaking again? How scared is he? Getting first blood and still this terrified?]

[Was he cowardly again today? With this kind of mentality, can we really expect him to play the entire game?]

[I think this advantage is all thanks to Lin Xiu. With Faker in this form, he's bound to feed in the team fight later.]

The mocking comments in the live chat arrived as expected.

Lin Xiu was farming monsters in the jungle when he noticed Faker's unusual behavior beside him.

He frowned slightly. The system panel clearly showed that, since none of his opponents were players whose "Faker's father" archetype could awaken Faker's deepest fears, the situation was hopeless.

Faker's mentality score remained firmly at 100 points.

If you're not mentally broken, why are you shaking?

"Brother Li, are you alright?"

Lin Xiu asked in a low voice over the phone,

"If you're not feeling well, we can play a little slower this round."

Faker didn't look up; his eyes were fixed on the screen, and he executed another precise WQ combo to harass the opponent.

"I'm fine." Lee Sang-hyeok's voice was a little hoarse, with a strange excitement in it.

"Lin, I'm not afraid. I just get shaky when I get excited. Besides, I'm looking for a feeling."

"Feeling?" Lin Xiu was taken aback.

"Yes, that's the feeling of a master!"

He turned his head and saw that Faker was not only trembling, but his neck was also shaking slightly involuntarily when he was performing high-precision laning maneuvers.

The way he shook his head gave him an extremely absurd sense of déjà vu.

???

Why did I think of someone?

Is he imitating that top lane god?

Faker took advantage of the recall time to reflect on the top laner's plays.

It should shake like this, right?

After all, Brother Bing's weapon mastery always makes that kind of shaking motion when he shreds our backline during team fights.

But why are they all looking at me so strangely?

Even Xiaolin looked at me like I was an idiot.

Is it because it looks Tang Dynasty-like?

Faker decided to stop learning for now.

Let's focus on our lane matchup.
