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

When the EDG players returned to the rest room, the jubilation they felt after winning the third game was gone.

Even if you lose after going from 0-2 to 1-2, that's a good thing; that's called losing with dignity.

But if we go from 0-2 to 2-2 and then lose, that would be terrible, such a shame.

So everyone was looking down, thinking about how to play the next round.

The factory manager stepped forward and patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder.

"You brat, I really envy you having such a mid-lane partner."

"With his playstyle, everyone criticizes him when they lose, while the jungler just stays hidden, living a carefree and comfortable life!"

"Crush WE!"

The factory manager was also very happy at this moment; he had a long-standing feud with WE.

Although he couldn't personally eliminate his opponents, it was still good to witness it.

Back in WE, they criticized him whether they won or lost.

Some call him a scoundrel, others call him a scoundrel.

All the fans started booing and jeering at him.

It makes him seem like the culprit behind WE's drop from the top tier.

If he really leaves, then they'll call him a traitor, a disloyal traitor, and demand a purge of their ranks.

However, after joining EDG, WE completely declined, while he led EDG to great heights, silencing the critics to a standstill.

But WE's explosive performance at last year's World Championship and their resurgence this year have made him somewhat anxious again.

Lin Xiu and Faker were able to dominate WE in two consecutive games, and he found them more and more pleasing to the eye!

However, he also wondered if things would have turned out differently if he had encountered a mid laner like Faker.

"Xiaolin, you decide the draft picks for the next game. Everyone should listen to you."

"Come on, let's say a couple more things before we go on stage."

At this crucial moment, all the differences between the EDG members disappeared, and even Scout stepped forward to tightly clasp their hands together.

"EDG, keep fighting!"

"EDG, keep fighting!"

"EDG, keep fighting!"

......

A moment later, the draft phase of the decisive game began.

"Welcome back to the stage of the 2017 LPL Spring Split Finals! This is the decisive game of the Spring Split Finals!"

"After four games, from 5 pm to 9 pm, the score is tied at 2:2."

"It's still amazing how quickly things turned out. Just two hours ago, WE defeated EDG 2-0, and everyone thought it would be over soon."

"I never expected it to go to a fifth game. Who will emerge victorious? Who will win the championship, and who will be eliminated with a heavy heart? The suspense continues."

Entering the decisive game, both Ji De and Guan Zeyuan seemed to be fully recharged, shaking off their fatigue and becoming enthusiastic and passionate.

"Zeyuan, who do you think has the best chance?"

"to be honest?"

"To lie, to joke, of course I'll tell the truth."

"I'm optimistic about EDG. By the fifth game, tactics and strategies aren't that important anymore; I'm focused on their momentum!"

"Oh?"

"You can tell just by looking at the expressions on both sides. The EDG players are full of anticipation, like the excitement of a football match where you're just one step away from scoring. On the other hand, WE seems a bit tired. Their excitement probably peaked in the third game, but it's slowly waning now."

I remember nodding, clearly agreeing with Guan Zeyuan's assessment.

"I also think EDG has a good chance of winning. Besides the reasons you mentioned, there's also the issue of Faker. I really don't know how WE plans to counter him. If they continue with the four-protect-one strategy, what other mid-lane champions can they pick? Galio? Isn't that like showing off your skills before an expert?"

"However, I still support WE because I think WE can no longer play the four-protect-one strategy. Now that we've played the playoffs, everyone feels that WE's four-protect-one strategy is their main tactic. But actually, WE was already in first place in the regular season, and they rarely played the four-protect-one strategy back then. I think WE will go back to basics and use their old tactics to win the game."

"Let's move on to the business plan (BP) phase."

WE chose the blue side in this game, and had the first ban and first pick.

WE banned Zed, Kalista, and Cassiopeia.

Two of Faker's champions, and one of Zet's champions.

Banning Zet's skateboard shoes wasn't because they were incredibly good, but because they were truly out of stock after the ban.

EDG banned Lee Sin, Camille, and Jayce.

It mainly targets 957 and Condi.

In terms of player selection, WE first picked Galio.

"WE actually picked Galio?"

Guan Zeyuan was somewhat surprised.

"Pick Galio in front of the creator of the Galio system? And Camille is banned."

I remember being stunned.

"Besides, WE has never played the Galio system before, can it really work?"

"However, the prince is outside; you can take it."

On EDG's side, Nofe looked down and asked Faker and Lin Xiu,

"Galio mid, what are you guys planning to use to counter him?"

"Wind it up."

Faker didn't hesitate. In the simulated S7 semifinals, although he lost 3-2 to Xiaohu, who had five Galio champions,

However, in the two games he won, he picked Orianna, which led RNG to ban Orianna in both of those games.

Besides, the opponent isn't even the Galio Jinchūriki, Xiaohu, so what's there to be afraid of?

Just spin the top and you're done!

The first three moves,

WE selected Galio, Jarvan IV, and Ashe.

EDG selected Orianna, Gragas, and Nautilus.

The last two hands,

WE selected Lucian and Zyra.

EDG selected Varus and Braum.

"What? WE picked Lucian again? Didn't they already have Ashe?"

"Uh, it should be Varus mid, then Galio is top!"

Guan Zeyuan was a little confused, but he immediately found the answer.

"In other words, facing Faker who had dominated him in two consecutive games, Xiye decided to pick Lucian as his mid-laner."

"This spirit of daring to fight is something every LPL player should learn from."

"After all, who among those who makes it to the LPL isn't a talented mid-laner?"

"And this trick tricked Faker into picking Orianna, since Orianna definitely can't beat Lucian in the early game."

The director's camera immediately focused on Xiye.

At this moment, he had a smile on his lips; despite his baby face, it exuded a sense of aggression.

"Xiye is very confident; let's look forward to his performance in this game!"

Lin Xiu was somewhat taken aback during EDG's voice chat.

Lucian, Orianna, Faker, Xiye

No way, it's coming?

"Brother Li, is Orianna good against Lucian?"

"The early game will be tough. The enemy jungler is still Jarvan IV. Let's see how it goes. If we can drag it out, we'll definitely win."

Even Faker was starting to lose confidence; Lucian's early-game damage was just too high.

Moreover, the enemy jungler is Condi's Jarvan IV, so he can come and tower dive as soon as his health gets low.

However, Faker is very confident in his team fight ability in the late game, and Orianna is one of his best champions.

The chat room erupted in excitement.

[Lucian hitting Orianna, isn't that just easy?]

Don't forget, before the four-protect-one strategy, Xiye used to play LeBlanc, and he was among the top laners in kills.

The "four-protect-one" strategy is really sacrificing too much for the mid laner; Xiaohu next door was also dragged down by Uzi.

[Bullshit! Xiaohu is just a noob, what do you mean he's dragging me down? Without Uzi, do you think Xiaohu could even make it to Worlds?]
