Lu Yi's call of "Tiger God" made Xiaohu helpless.

After all, there is a host also called Tiger God.

Xiaohu had no choice but to say, "Hahahaha, Yishen, you are so humorous."

Lu Yi smiled and then looked at Theshy, only to find that Theshy was also looking at him.

In today's game, the two are the absolute core of the two teams, and can even be said to be the deciding factor.

Although the two did not confront each other directly, they had actually begun to compete secretly.

"Come on, let's go in."

Lu Yi called out and led his teammates in first.

The WBG group followed closely behind.

Arriving at the lounge, the TES players put down their personal belongings.

Xiaotian suddenly found Shanji and said, "Shanji, you are not playing us during the competition, are you?"

After hearing this, Shan Ji was stunned: "Playing you? Why should I do this? It's not that boring."

Xiaotian teased, "You actually called Theshy Teacher Shy, are they still so close? Did he take classes under him before?"

Shan Ji started making up stories: "It depends on how you look at it. If you think that learning techniques from him is like taking a class, then I feel that most of the top laners have learned from him to some extent."

Everyone looked at the pheasant with suspicion.

Meiko complained: "I can't see at all that he learned anything from him."

"Wave." Lu Yi suddenly said this word, which made everyone laugh.

Ah Shui agreed: "Theshy is really reckless sometimes, you never know what he is thinking."

In this regard, A Shui is naturally qualified to judge.

After all, they once won the championship together.

Zhan Ma greeted, "Okay, it's almost time. Let me confirm one last time. Yishen, are you going to play in the top lane or go to the top lane to fight against Theshy?"

Lu Yi responded: "I'll see. If the BP goes smoothly, I can go mid."

On the other side, at the commentary booth at the game, three commentators were ready.

Wawa explained: "What is about to take place is the 2023 League of Legends Professional League playoffs."

"The two teams are TES and WBG. The winner of the two teams will advance to the winner's semi-finals."

Miller continued: "WBG is in great shape. They eliminated EDG before, which was an upset. After all, EDG ranked third in the spring season, which was not easy."

Rita said: "But WBG's current opponent is Top Esports, which ranked first in the regular season. Please stay tuned to see if they can continue their previous invincible performance."

On the field, players from both teams came on stage.

First up was TES. The five members of TES appeared on the stage, and the audience cheered in unison:
"Tao Bo! Tao Bo! Tao Bo!"

On the other side, the five starting players of WBG appeared and were warmly welcomed:
"WBG! WBG!"

Ever since Theshy and Liu Qingsong joined WBG, WBG's popularity has skyrocketed.

Both of them are popular superstars in their respective positions.

There is no need to talk about Xiaohu, his popularity is as stable as his performance.

You say there isn't, of course there is, but it's not high enough, it's lukewarm.

The two contestants stood in the middle of the stage, facing each other.

Lu Yi faced Xiaohu. Xiaohu is worthy of being an e-sports comedian. Even at this time, he was still smiling, and it seemed that he might laugh out loud at any time because he could not hold it back.

After shaking hands and turning around, the players from both teams returned to their respective positions.

After Lu Yi sat down, he put on his headphones.

Zhan Ma called out, "Everyone, concentrate and cheer up, we will try to win the battle quickly!"

Entering the BP phase of the first game!

In this game, TES is on the red side and BWG is on the blue side.

BAN hero stage.

TES: Gnar, Kennen, Gwen

WBG: Crocodile, Sion, Gragas.

Wawa commented: "Both sides chose to target the top lane. Their goals are different. WBG banned the heroes that are easy to play in the top lane, while TES banned the heroes that are easy to carry in the top lane and that Theshy likes to play."

"Quesanti is still out there. It depends on whether Theshy can win this game. I believe everyone knows what level his Quesanti is."

Entering the hero selection phase, the blue team's WBG locked onto Quesanti on the first floor.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi knew that the plan had failed.

He looked at the pheasant, and the pheasant was looking at him.

In fact, TES released Quesanti on purpose because there were not enough BAN slots.

The purpose of releasing Quesanti is to put pressure on the opponent, making them worry whether they have a way to deal with it.

Now Noxus is also outside. Lu Yi had used Noxus to beat Quesanti before, but this time, Lu Yi didn't plan to do so.

Because the last time he was able to defeat the opponent was when he caught him off guard, using sprint and flash, and the opponent was not as strong as Theshy.

If you continue to choose Noxus now, if you cannot gain enough advantage in the early laning phase, you will definitely be inferior to Quesanti in team battles, and you may lose. Now you can only choose Plan B.

It was TES's turn, and TES got Zeli and Lulu on the first and second floors.

Miller commented: "Zeli is still out there, so we'll definitely have to grab her. I guess WBG will choose Aphelios. These two heroes are the main ones in the bottom lane right now."

Wawa agreed, "That's right. Generally speaking, either one on each side or both are banned. It's not common for only one side to have it."

It was WBG's turn to choose, and WBG got Aphelios and Ryze on the second and third floors.

Rita explained: "Sure enough, now there is one on each side, now it depends on what support position to choose."

TES got Jayce on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

Wawa commented: "Is this Jayce? If we choose Jayce in this game, I feel that we must beat WBG in the early game, otherwise TES will not have enough support in the late game, even though they have Shuizi's Zeli."

"But I still feel like I can't defeat Quesanti. If Quesanti is strong, in this game, only Tree has AP output, and the AP output of other heroes is relatively low. If Quesanti stacks up his armor, I can't imagine how invincible he will be in this team fight."

TES also banned Titan and Luo.

WBG also banned Sylas and Akali.

TES got Lulu on the fourth floor, and it was WBG's turn.

WBG locked Monkey King and Nami on the fourth and fifth floors.

Wawa commented: "Now WBG's lineup has been finalized. The first impression of this lineup is that it is solid. Too solid. The teamfights in the late game are very strong, with various group control and explosive AOE."

At this time, only Lu Yi's mid laner had not been selected. The director gave a close-up and everyone's attention was focused on Lu Yi.

In the end, TES locked down Shen on the fifth floor.

When this hero was chosen, the audience was stunned.

Wawa muttered, "Salt? There's already a Jayce, then the Steel Shadow can't be played by Shan Ji, he knows how to play the Steel Shadow.

Miller shook his head and said, "From the information we have, he probably can't play. The most important thing is that he is facing Shy. If his proficiency is not up to a certain level, he will definitely be beaten up in the laning phase." "So, if he just knows how to play, it will definitely not work. He must be proficient! Only at the master level!"

Both teams began to adjust their lineups and exchange heroes. The audience's attention was on TES. As the time entered the last twenty seconds, the lineup was determined:
[Format: BO5]

【TES】VS【WBG】（0:0）

Top order: [Future Guardian] VS [Glory of Nazumang]

Jungle: [Twisted Tree Spirit] VS [Monkey King]

Mid: [Shin] VS [Wandering Mage]

ADC: [Zuan Fireworks] VS [Crescent Moon's Howl]

Support: [Fairy Witch] VS [Tidecaller Mermaid]

Miller began to analyze: "Sure enough, this Shen is not played by Shan Ji, but by Yi Shen's Shen. However, will Shen really go to the middle lane? I feel that it is more likely that he will go to the top lane."

"Give Jayce the middle lane, which is a good place for him to develop, so that he can at least maintain his development. Yishen is so gentle. I am crying."

At this time on WBG's side, he also realized that TES would most likely change lanes.

So Xiaohu asked: "Theshy, the opponent is likely to switch lanes, do you want to switch lanes?"

Theshy shook his head: "No need, no matter who plays top lane, it doesn't make much difference to me."

Xiaohu was overjoyed after hearing this: "You're so handsome, Theshy. I just like your confident look."

Liu Qingsong complained: "It's almost enough for you, don't do this to death."

Entering the game screen, Lu Yi's Shen did move upwards

Miller analyzed: "It seems that they are planning to switch lanes in this game. Just as we predicted, Top Esports still doesn't let Shan Ji face Theshy, so it is easier to support the boss."

“Now we have to see what level Yi Shen’s Shen’s Qing Gangying is.

Lu Yi came to the river to stand guard, and nothing happened at first.

When the first wave of soldiers came out, Lu Yi returned to the line and faced the enemy normally.

Kuisanti also showed up. Lu Yi didn't know what Kuisanti's first level was. He would observe first.

The two began to pull each other, and no one was in a hurry to attack the minions. Lu Yi was certainly not in a hurry. He waited until the minions were low on health, and then used his W skill to attack, finishing off the minions while also consuming their health.

However, Quesanti used his Q skill to finish off the enemy, leaving no chance.

Immediately afterwards, the second wave of soldiers arrived on the line, and we grabbed the second one.

Lu Yi's Shen continued to test the W skill, but Quesanti remained the same, keeping his distance.

But after reaching level two, the situation was different. Quesanti used E to close the distance to obtain a shield and launched a Q skill. Lu Yi was prepared and moved to the side to easily avoid it.

Wawa exclaimed: "Great positioning! This is how Yishen moves!"

Lu Yi started to counterattack and used his W skill. Quesanti retreated first and suddenly closed the distance. It was because Lu Yi reacted quickly. He kept moving synchronously with Quesanti, so that the W skill could hit the outer circle.

Then follow up with an AQ, while moving to avoid Quesanti's Q skill.

Miller commented: "This Shen's positioning is really amazing! At such a close distance, he can actually use positioning to dodge Quesanti's Q skill."

Wawa agreed, "Yes, it is indeed quite scary. Now Shen obviously has a slight advantage in the top lane."

In the middle lane, Shan Ji's Jayce faced Xiaohu's Ryze, and a funny scene appeared.

The two of them kept pushing the troops in the middle lane and had no interest in each other.

Everyone can understand that Shan Ji has no interest in Xiao Hu. After all, he is suddenly laning against the mid laner. If he is too proactive and finds that he can't win in the end, isn't that giving up?

But Xiaohu was also very sleazy and careful, and he made the audience feel helpless, and he kept posting in the audience's live broadcast room:

[No, you actually developed peacefully. You are worthy of being me, Xiaohu.]

[I can only say that it is within reason and expectation.]

[Xiao Hu is like this. If he is not like this, is he still Xiao Hu? ]

[That's right, it's not Xiaohu's problem. It's your own problem that you insist on having fantasies about Xiaohu.]

In the bottom lane, because they are all soft supports, they can only consume each other and cannot really fight. The supports on both sides, Meiko and Liu Qingsong, are now at odds and pulling each other's hair, and neither of them will give in.

So Wawa started to joke: "Seriously, the fighting intensity of the supports on both sides is stronger than that of the mid laners on both sides. This is a bit outrageous."

Miller continued: "I can only say that this is Top Esports' strategy. They know that Xiaohu and General Tiger like to develop, so they chose to arrange Shan Ji to come and develop with Xiaohu. If it was Yishen, I don't think Xiaohu would be able to develop."

Rita joked: "So Xiaohu has to thank Top Esports for their strategy, otherwise he wouldn't have had such an easy time on the laning line?"

Just over three minutes into the game, an accident occurred. The junglers of both teams met in the river.

Both of them wanted the river crab, so they tested each other and were not in a hurry to take action. Whoever made a mistake at this time would explode.

The middle and top lanes are rushing over.

Prepare to help the jungler fight for the river crab.

Wawa explained: "Why do I feel like there's going to be bloodshed on both sides because of a river crab?"

"From the current situation, the top laners are all in poor condition, let's rush over together."

"In the middle lane, Jesryze is at full health, but his mana has been depleted a little. It's not a big problem. Both of them are very peaceful, so they didn't lose any health."

After Lu Yi walked to the river, he saw an opportunity. The Ryze on the opposite side was the opportunity!
Lu Yi put a kill mark on the opposing Ryze.

Jayce hits with a QE!

Although Shan Ji's proficiency in Jayce is average, he has no problem with this basic operation.

Lu Yi's Shen hooked the wall, kicked it, and suddenly used flash to hit Ryze!
RIta commented: "They took action! Shen used his E flash to take the lead and kicked Ryze. Maokai used his W skill to hug him, and Jayce used his Sky Leap! Ryze's health was at the bottom. TES was very decisive in this wave! This is the advantage of their lineup. Both the top and jungle have control."

"Salvin used a two-stage precision etiquette to get the kill, so now it's three against two. WBG doesn't seem to dare to go forward, so they can only choose to give up."

【TES, GodYi (Qinggangying) killed WBG, Xiaohu (Wandering Mage)!!】

Lu Yi's Shen got the first blood.

Xiaohu took the blame: "My goodness, I thought he was going to look for Monkey, he flashed over and kicked me, I didn't react in time."

This wave is indeed difficult to react to, it seems like Shen's kick could hit anyone.

So the teammates didn't say anything.

However, the comments in the live broadcast room were all cursing:
[Send your Flash, are you saving it for the New Year? ]

[Was Xiaohu's flash deducted? 】

【General Tiger is like this. 】

[Flash is so bad? You never used Flash in your previous life, right? ]

Lu Yi returned to the city for supplies and TPed back to the line. Now with the Radiance, he could be more aggressive in laning.

Theshy did not go back immediately. He chose to exchange blood with Lu Yi first, and then went back when he was left with low blood.

This is a very smart approach. When the opponent goes back to replenish TP first, you go up to exchange blood and exchange as much as you can. Of course, the premise is that he cannot die.

Then go back and TP out. This way you are in full condition and the opponent will lose a lot of health, giving you an advantage in the laning phase.

However, after pushing the line of soldiers, Lu Yi can go to eat the fruit to offset Theshy's advantage.
