The bus entered the parking lot, and the TES members got off the bus and entered the competition venue.

The playing field for the quarter-finals is much larger than that for the group stage.

The layout inside is also slightly different.

Walking all the way to the lounge, everyone put down their things and found a place to sit down.

Lu Yi took out his mobile phone to check the trending news online.

#TES VS DRX has become the top three trending searches and is rising rapidly.

After all, the game hasn't started yet.

The fans in the group are discussing today's game, with all kinds of blessings and some expressing concerns.

On the other side, in the DRX lounge, the DRX players who had just arrived were also discussing tactics.

Deft said, "Today's opponent is tough. Are you confident?"

Deft has gone from being a young player at Samsung to being a veteran in DRX, chasing championships all the way. This may be his last chance.

After all, his age is there, so he attaches great importance to this S game.

The top laner Kingen was the first to speak: "I don't feel any pressure in the top lane. Their top laner is average, probably in the middle."

Jungler Ryosik said: "Their jungler's performance is not very stable. I heard that if he is in a bad mood or depressed, it will be difficult for him to perform well."

After hearing this comment, everyone in DRX was speechless.

So now we have to make the opponent depressed in order to win the game.

The key is, if you want to make the other person depressed, you have to win over him first, and then if you want to win over him, you have to make him depressed. It becomes a vicious circle?
Deft said: "Their bottom lane is very strong, especially their ADC, who plays very aggressively. However, I believe in our tacit understanding in the bottom lane, and we can win!"

Deft glanced at the support BeryL.

According to BeryL's evaluation, their ADC is indeed good, but the support is not good. The strength of the bottom lane mainly depends on the support position, so our bottom lane should be the advantage.

Deft smiled: "Right! Just like BeryL said, we have the advantage in the bottom lane!"

As a result, there was only one person left who remained silent, and that was the mid laner Zeka.

Everyone else looked at Zek. He didn't seem to want to talk, but now that everyone had spoken, it seemed impossible for him to remain silent.

So Zeka said: "I think their mid laner is overhyped. This time I will prove who is the best mid laner now!"

Zeka’s speech surprised everyone in DRX. They thought he didn’t speak because he lacked confidence, but they didn’t expect his confidence to explode!

Deft reminded: "I don't think it's necessary to be so aggressive. GodYi's strength is not weak. His current data is the best among all mid laners."

Zeka was dismissive: "He just uses some very strange routines and tactics, taking advantage of the opponent's unawareness and launching a surprise attack. If it is a head-on confrontation, I don't think he can win."

“This…” The DRX team couldn’t help but feel confident. This was not just ordinary confidence; they felt like they were taking off.

The key is, are the opponents really that easy to deal with? Not necessarily, otherwise, why would so many teams lose so badly?

But now that we are facing a powerful enemy, a fire cannot undermine the confidence of our own people, so this is the only way.

On the other side, at the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, Wang Duoduo and Rita were ready.

Wang Duoduo explained: "The upcoming match is the quarterfinals of this S game, with the No. 1 seed TES from the LPL region facing the No. 4 seed DRX from the LCK region."

Guan Zeyuan continued: "Although they are the fourth seed of LCK, DRX showed us extraordinary resilience in the group stage. For TES, this is definitely a competent opponent. I hope they can play an exciting game."

On the competition stage, the host came on stage and read the opening remarks, then said:
"Now, let us welcome the No. 1 seed TES from the LPL region!"

So Lyu Yi took his teammates to the stage, and the audience cheered:
"Tao Bo! Tao Bo! Tao Bo!"

"Yishen, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"

"Brother Shuizi, let Deft see your strength!"

"Hang, don't send me off. It makes Shuizi very uncomfortable if you do this."

Hang's performance in this S game was not very good, so many people are making fun of him now.

After the five members of TES appeared on stage, they stood in the middle of the stage.

The host announced again: "Let us welcome the fourth seed from the LCK region, DRX!"

Then the five members of DRX came on stage and accepted the cheers from the audience:
"DRX!DRX!"

The director gave a close-up of the five people, scanning all the way. The others were relatively reserved, but the mid laner Zeka stood out very much!

Guan Zeyuan commented: "It seems that Zuka is very confident in himself. Looking at his temperament and expression, it feels like he is sure to win."

Rita analyzed: "Zeka's performance in this S game is indeed good. It feels much better than in the league. It may be because he is a player with a big heart. On a bigger stage, he can achieve greater results. Such players are extremely confident."

The two players stood face to face, Lü Yi faced Zeka.
When shaking hands with Zeka, he said, "DRX will definitely win today."

Lu Yi felt puzzled because he was not familiar with anyone from DRX and only knew Deft.

Who is this person? He is saying such nonsense.

So Lu Yi just thought of the previous post on the Internet that compared the two teams. When comparing the mid laners, the comments below were straightforward.

"Who are you?" Lu Yi said this and asked who the other person was.

Zeka's face turned black as expected, he felt that he was being ignored.

Lu Yi didn't mean to target him, he really didn't know him and he felt like a nobody.

Zuke once again threatened: "When you lose to me and burst into tears, this ID will be your nightmare for the rest of your life. Then you won't ask me this question anymore."

After shaking hands, the players from both teams turned around to find their respective positions. Lu Yi felt that this guy was a little immature, as if he had never been beaten by society.

Back in his seat, Lu Yi put on his headphones. At this moment, he heard Ah Shui's voice: "The mid laner on the opposite side seems to be showing off to you?"

Lu Yi responded: "I don't know what he wants to do, it's a bit childish, it doesn't matter."

Hang immediately became interested: "Oh my god, he actually dared to show off to Yishen. Brothers, we have to deal with him severely!"

Shan Ji laughed: "Have you been hiding your strength all this time? Then show it to them right away."

Hang retorted: "Why are you like this? Now is the time to help Yishen get back his face, and you are still making sarcastic remarks."

Xiaotian stood up and said: "Stop arguing, let's play normally. It's just DRX. They can't cause much trouble. We can easily defeat them!"

After both sides are ready, they enter the BP stage of the first game.

TES is on the red side and DRX is on the blue side.

During the hero ban phase, DRXBAN: Lucian, Kaisa, and Draven.

TESBAN: Aphelios, Miss Fortune, Varus.

Seeing this scene, Guan Zeyuan commented: "Both sides banned six ADCs at the beginning of this game, and their styles were quite different. The three ADCs banned by DRX all had strong offensive capabilities."

"The three ADCs killed by TESBAN have stronger defensive attributes. It seems to be related to the styles of the ADCs on both sides. Shuizi is an ADC who likes to attack very much and plays very aggressively, while Deft prefers defense."

Wang Duoduo agreed: "That's right, there are not many ADC heroes to choose now, I feel that DRX will grab one first."

DRX on the blue side got the Tristana on the first floor.

Seeing that Tristana was chosen, Guan Zeyuan explained:

"That's what we just said. DRX will definitely grab an ADC. Tristana is indeed the best choice among the remaining ADCs."

"Now it depends on what Shuizi plans to play. TES got Kalista on the first floor, which is also okay. On the second floor, they locked in Renata, which is a bit violent. This combination is currently the strongest in the bottom lane except for the Luna combination."

Rita agreed, "Right. Renata's resurrection can be combined with Kalista's output and face-to-face attack. It's hard for the opponent to withstand it. Once one of them is killed, Kalista can be resurrected."

DRX got the Sword Demon and Sejuani on the second and third floors.

Wang Duoduo commented: "Aatrox is the top laner T0 right now. It just so happens that Kingen is the Aatrox king. He specializes in playing Aatrox. It feels strange that he was not banned. Could it be because the TES coaching staff has other arrangements?"

Rita speculated: "I think it is very likely because TES focused all their attention on the bottom lane. Judging from the group stage, Deft is the core of DRX."

"Of course, judging from the experience of previous World Championships, the situation will change at each stage of the competition. By the quarterfinals, the core of DRX may have changed."

Then TES locked in the Ruined King on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

TES also banned Sylas and Taliyah.

DRX also banned Fiora and Gnar.

Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan commented: "I feel something is wrong. After DRX banned it, it seems that no hero can target Aatrox. Now the top laners that can be chosen are not good at fighting Aatrox."

"And we have to consider the laning ability of Shan Ji players, then the situation will be even worse."

Rita continued: "At this time, we can only choose to believe in the strength of TES players, there is no other way."

TES locked Kennen on the fourth floor.

It was DRX's turn. DRX got Akali on the fourth floor and locked on Diana on the fifth floor.

The moment Akali was locked on, the audience cheered.

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: "Akali is currently in the top three in the mid-lane position in terms of appearance rate. This is scary because she is an assassin hero, and there are very few assassins who have such a high appearance rate."

"Sylas is banned now, otherwise he could be used to target Akali. Taliyah is also banned, but these two heroes are actually quite useful."

Wang Duoduo commented: "DRX's lineup, with two players in the middle and top, will make it difficult for TES's double C to survive against this combination, which is very troublesome."

At this time, the fifth floor of TES was left without a choice, and everyone was guessing what Lu Yi would choose.

Suddenly, Hang revealed a Nunu on the fifth floor.

When seeing Nunu, everyone was too lazy to even analyze it, as it was an impossible pick.

But just when everyone thought it was impossible to choose, TES really chose it!

Guan Zeyuan took a deep breath and said, "Am I seeing this right? TES actually picked a Nunu on the fifth floor? Aren't they short of a mid laner? Why did they choose Nunu?"

Rita speculated: "Is it because there are no heroes to choose from? But that's not the case. We all know Yi Shen's hero pool. Why is that? Is this the latest tactic developed by TES?"

The director's camera was turned to Zhanma, who blushed and said, "Why do you have to play Nunu? This is the quarterfinals, it's very crucial, you know? We can't lose, we can't afford to lose."

"Well, now that you've been chosen, let's see how you perform. If you lose, I'll hold you accountable!"

[The Warhorse Coach's mentality is detected to be explosive, the entry 'Don't listen' increases the host's various attributes by 20%]

nailed it!
This is exactly the effect Lu Yi wants!
The countdown entered the last twenty seconds, and the lineups of both teams were determined:
Red Team TES: Top lane Kennen, Jungle King of the Ruined King, Mid lane Nunu, ADC Kalista, Support Renata

Blue side DRX: Top Aatrox, Jungle Sejuani, Mid Akali, ADC Tristana, Support Riuna

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan explained:
"From the look on Coach Zhanma's face just now, I feel like he's not very happy with this BP. Could it be that the players chose it themselves? Then this matter is a bit complicated."

Rita analyzed: "I have seen Nunu in some high-level Champions League games. He mainly plays as a roaming support, but I don't know what effect he has in the game."

Enter the game screen.

[The host is detected to be using an unpopular hero and unpopular tactics. The entry "Master of Whole Life" increases the host's overall attributes by 20%]

Here it comes! This is the first time that Lu Yi has filled this entry. It needs to satisfy both unpopular heroes and unpopular tactics at the same time. This is not easy.

Xiaotian began to set the pace: "Yishen, I'm not very familiar with this hero of yours. It's not that I don't know how to play, but I don't know how I should cooperate with him when he goes to the middle lane."

Lu Yi responded: "It's okay, just play normally. Play the same way you usually do. You don't have to come to the middle lane to help. Akali is not easy to catch."

Xiao Tiandi: "Okay, then in this game, I will focus on the bottom lane in the early stage. The opponent's bottom lane will definitely be more aggressive, and our bottom lane coordination ability is also good."

"Mountain Chicken, you need to stay steady in the top lane. In this version, the Sword Demon is very strong. If he gets up, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."

Brother Shan Ji felt the pressure: "Okay, I'll try my best to develop. If I don't attack, I should be able to hold on."

This is why he chose Kennen. No matter what, this hero should have no problem developing online.

The military line came out, and the director's camera was directed to the middle lane. At this time, Lu Yi's Nunu returned to the line from the river position, but he was retreating and walked to the second tower.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "Now let's learn how to play the mid laner Nunu and see how Yishen plays."

The soldiers were about to reach the line, and Nunu started to snowball. He actually turned around on the spot, which could increase the distance, making the snowball bigger and causing more damage.

At this time, Zeak's Akali was standing still on the line, as if waiting for Lu Yi to come online.

Suddenly, the snowman appeared, pushing a huge snowball, straight towards Zeka!

So Zeka chose to use his E skill and retreat, avoiding the snowball while being able to counterattack.

However, the snowman released the snowball in advance, and the snowball hit six soldiers, and three ranged soldiers were killed immediately!

The remaining three melee soldiers were all at low health, and the snowman started to finish them off, one at a time.

A wave of soldiers was cleared out very quickly.

Rita commented: "What a fast speed to clear the minions! Now Akali is in a bit of an awkward position. He used the E skill, and he definitely can't clear the minion line. He can only let the minion line enter the tower."
