Back at the training base, the TES team continued training and preparing for the finals.

A few days passed quickly, and it was another weekend, and the LPL game was on.

In the lounge, the TES players are waiting for the game to start.

Lv Yi uses his mobile phone to check the rhythm online:
[EDG is in such good shape, Top Esports won’t fail. 】

[Top Esports wins the championship again? I think we should give other teams a chance? ]

[If you have the guts, come and get it yourself. You can't beat him yourself, so you blame Topbo for being too strong, right? ]

[It's funny. Without Top Esports, wouldn't the S-League champions go to LCK again? You guys are not doing your best.]

At this moment, the warhorse called out:

"Everyone, it's almost time. We have to go on stage."

So everyone put down their phones and gathered around the war horse.

Zhan Ma continued, "Thank you all for your hard training and support for my work. Today is the time to verify the results of our training over the past period of time. We need everyone to be in good shape and have a happy ending."

"TOP will win!"

"TOP will win!"

At the game site, in the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and Gugu were ready.

The doll explained:
"Hello, audience friends, we have finally reached the finals of this spring season. The two teams are EDG and Top Esports. There will be a simple entrance ceremony and a promotional video before the game begins."

“The two best teams from our spring season will be on stage. They deserve a warm welcome and all the glory!”

Miller continued: "From the current state of the two teams, I think they are evenly matched. EDG defeated JDG and proved themselves, and Top Esports, the king on the throne, has experienced countless challenges. Let us wait and see whether they can hold on to their crown this time!"

At the competition site, the host came on stage cheerfully. After a brief opening speech, he greeted:

"Now, let's welcome the two teams to the final. First up is our challenger, EDG!"

"Top lane, Ale!"

Ale walked out from the aisle and headed straight for the center of the stage.

Ale's various data, as well as his hero pool and hexagram chart appeared on the big screen.

In the top lane position, most of the data are among the top few, which looks pretty good.

"Jungle, Jiejie!"

Jiejie came on stage and many people cheered for him.

Likewise, Jiejie's data chart appeared on the big screen.

"Mid lane, FOFO!"

FOFO came on stage and headed straight for the stage.

FOFO's statistics are very impressive among mid laners, with many of them ranking second or third.

The hexagram is also very full.

"ADC, leave."

Leave is relatively less famous, and although his statistics are excellent, they are still not comparable to FOFO's.

"Assist, Hang!"

It's Hang's turn.

There are even more people cheering for Hang than for FOFO!

The reason is simple, Hang didn’t win so many championships with TES for nothing.

After EDG players finished their appearance, it was TES’ turn!
Greeted happily:
"The team that's about to take the stage is Top Esports, and the top laner is Shan Ji!"

The pheasant came out from the passage.

There were a lot of people cheering for Shan Ji at the scene, almost as many as Hang.

At the same time, various data of Pheasant appeared on the big screen, which was quite good.

"Jungle, Tian!"

Xiaotian is on the scene!
"Ahhh! Xiaotian!"

Xiaotian's popularity is one level higher than Shanji's, and many of his fans have gone crazy about him.

Xiaotian’s data appeared on the big screen. The hexagram was very full, and many of the data were either the first or the top three.

Xiaotian walked to the center of the stage and stood with Shanji. Xinran did not immediately invite the next person, but chose to wait first.

The audience gradually quieted down.

Just when everyone was wondering why Xinran didn't speak, Xinran spoke:

"Mid lane, GodYi!"

Brother Lu Yicong walked out of the corridor and the whole place went wild!
"Yishen! Yishen! Yishen!"

The cheers were so earth-shaking that it felt like the entire venue was vibrating!

Lu Yi walked the slowest, slowly approaching the center of the stage. Along the way, the audience maintained their enthusiasm and cheered at the top of their lungs.

Lu Yi's data appeared on the big screen, and it was always first!

Moreover, many of his statistics are first among all positions, and he is not even willing to be compared with the mid laner.

Astonishing!

Lu Yi sat on the stage and became the only focus of the audience.

Xinran could only choose to wait until the audience had lost their strength and gradually quieted down, then she could continue:

"ADC, Jackeylove!"

It was Ah Shui's turn. The entire venue was in turmoil again. Apart from cheers, no other sound could be heard.

A Shui's data appeared on the big screen. The data was a bit strange. It was either very outstanding or very poor. The hexagram turned into a triangle.

"Assist, Meiko."

The last one, support, Meiko.

There were many people cheering for Meiko at the scene.

Meiko walked to the center of the stage and stood up with the DYG players. The spotlight shone down and the starting ten players of the two teams were ready.

After the lights stayed on for a short while, everything went dark.

The upper screen also went black and began playing the promotional video for the finals.

As the protagonist of the promotional video, Lu Yi appeared in everyone's vision.

The moment the ID GodYi appeared, there was a small climax at the scene.

While the audience was watching the promotional video on the stage, the two teams came to their respective positions to debug the equipment.

Lu Yi put on headphones, tested the keyboard and mouse, and everything was ready!
Zhan Ma called out, "Everyone, bring out our Top Esports spirit, win the first game first, put pressure on the opponent, and it will be easier for us to fight later!"

After a while, the promotional video finished playing and the lights came on again. At the same time, the ten people from both sides were ready and entered the first BP phase!

In this game, TES is on the red side, and EDG is on the blue side. BAN situation:
TES: Syndra, Jayce, Zelie
EDG: Quesanti, Ruined King, Sylas
Wawa explained: "EDG mainly targets the jungler and mid laner. Yes, the mid laner. Some viewers may wonder, isn't this Quesanti targeting the top laner? Actually, no, it's targeting Yishen. Shan Ji's proficiency in Quesanti doesn't seem to be good enough."

Miller agreed, "Right, and Top Esports is targeting the double Cs, which seems fine. But now there is a problem, Shan Ji is laning against Ale, can he win in that laning situation?" We all know that Ale is very strong in laning and he has released all his heroes.

Enter the hero selection phase.

EDG on the blue side got the Weapon Master on the first floor.

Wawa explained: "Here we go, let's increase the strength! The Weapon Master has taken out his weapon, and Shan Ji must be under a lot of pressure now."

Miller agreed, "That's right, Ale is seeing that Topbo's top laner is lacking in individual ability, and he's taking advantage of your weakness to attack you!"

TES locked Monkey King and Aphelios on the first and second floors.

GuGu commented: "In this game, EDG gave up Aphelios for Weapon Master. What can they take in the bottom lane? This is very important."

EDG locked Lucian and Nami on the second and third floors.

Wawa commented: "Luna combination, are you looking for an advantage in the laning phase? But I feel that Top Esports' bottom lane is not a pushover, it's not that easy to bully."

TES locked the Deep Sea Titan on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

TES also banned Akali and Ryze.

EDG also banned Nine-Tailed Fox and Yongen.

Wawa explained: "Now both sides are targeting the mid lane, and it feels like there are no heroes left. What is this for? Is this a test of the hero pools of both mid laners?"

Gugu guessed: "I guess both sides have their own backup plans, so I think it's okay even if a few heroes are banned. Of course, there may be an embarrassing situation where you think you have a backup plan, but it is banned by the opponent."

"If this is how it's played, then I'd definitely prefer Yishen because his hero pool is deeper."

At this moment, TES locked onto Alchemist Singed on the fourth floor.

As soon as this alchemy was taken out, everyone was stunned.

Miller frantically analyzed: "Yishen's! This is definitely Yishen's Alchemy. His Yao went to the top lane, otherwise Top Esports wouldn't have to ban so many mid-lane heroes, right?"

"Banning heroes like this is obviously to pave the way for Shan Ji, so that he can fight more easily when he comes to the middle lane. I just don't believe that Shan Ji dares to use a hero like Alchemist to play in the game."

At this time, everyone in EDG was confused about the situation and were discussing who this Alchemist was.

EDG's BP was very slow, and they finally got the two heroes, Sejuani and Annie.

This leaves only TES's fifth floor left to choose.

While everyone was still discussing Alchemy, TES locked onto Vel'Koz on the fifth floor!
Wawa exclaimed, "Ah? Vel'Koz? What's going on? There's no way Shan Ji can play Vel'Koz. Does that mean Shan Ji is really the one playing this Alchemist?"

Miller agreed: "At present, it is true. You eliminate all possibilities, and the only possibility left is that one!"

Both sides began to adjust, and everyone's attention was on TES.

The countdown entered twenty seconds, and the lineup was determined:
[Format: BO5]

【TES】VS【EDG】（0:0）

Top lane: [Alchemist] VS [Weapon Master]

Jungle: [Monkey King] VS [Wrath of the North]

Mid: [Eye of the Void] VS [Daughter of Darkness]

ADC: [Howl of the Crescent Moon] VS [Holy Lance Ranger]

Support: [Deep Sea Titan] VS [Tidecaller Mermaid]

Entering the game screen, Xiaotian began to lead the pace: "Shanchi, play by yourself, don't get into trouble, I can't help you."

Shan Ji responded: "I have already chosen Alchemist, how else can you help? Most likely mid lane."

Meiko laughed: "Shanji, you are really good at talking and you know how to get to the point."

Ah Shui complained: "I think the bottom lane can help too, Shan Ji, what do you mean by that?"

Shan Ji quickly explained: "My, I was just talking casually."

Both sides are in a defensive position at level one.

At the same time, on EDG's side, the top and jungle were taking action.

The two were waiting for people in the upper jungle area. If Alchemist came in to cut off the line of troops at this time, it would be a dead end.

However, Alchemist never showed up, so Sejuani went to the lower jungle area to prepare for the game.

Wawa commented: "I usually see that many Alchemists will cut off the minion line in this wave, but this time, Shan Ji didn't go, which feels very smart because the opponent is waiting for him. This routine can be used against passers-by players, but it is easy to fail against professional players."

Miller agreed, "That's right, but there is a problem now. If we don't stop the troops, it will be a normal laning match. Can we win? Can he win against Master Yi in a normal laning match?"

The first wave of soldiers came, and this time, for the first time ever, the director focused the camera on the top lane, mainly to see what Shan Ji was doing.

Shan Ji took advantage of the fact that Master Yi had no passive skill at level 1, and took the initiative to go forward to find the minion line at level 1, defend against the poison, and switch on and off, switching on and off the Q skill continuously so that the soldiers could feel the poison.

The Master of Arms chose to go around and look for the Alchemist's line of troops.

Gugu explained: "This is really practiced. At least it seems that he is quite skilled at it now, so he won't be beaten right at the start."

In the middle lane, Lu Yi's Vel'Koz uses the W skill at level 1 to push the minion line.

FOFO's Annie is very honest. In front of Vel'Koz, Annie is just a short-armed girl. She has no advantage in laning, and is even at a disadvantage. So she can only be honest and pray that Lu Yi will not take the initiative to suppress him.

In the bottom lane, EDG's bottom lane started to be strong from level 2, and TES's bottom lane chose to let go and let the soldiers come over.

The game time was three and a half minutes. In the top lane, Alchemist was severely beaten. He returned to the city for supplies, made a Dark Seal, and TPed back to continue laning.

This time, Alchemist began to try to cut off the line of soldiers, first dealing with the soldiers on the line, and then going around.

Xiaotian’s Monkey King came to the upper jungle area and took the river crab in the upper lane.

He was able to get the river crab entirely because he had lane rights in the middle lane.

Wawa explained: "Mid lane Vel'Koz's Q skill is really fast in pushing the line. Annie is much inferior in comparison. This is also a problem of Annie. He pushes the line too slowly."

Gugu laughed and said, "If Annie can push the line quickly, she will be T0 in the middle lane. There must be some weaknesses."

Realizing that he couldn't push the line, FOFO chose to change his playing style. Seeing Vel'Koz was about to use W to last hit, Annie took the initiative to move forward, pulling back and forth, trying to find an opportunity to consume the enemy.

"Brother, I'm not looking for you, but you're looking for me? Are you sure?" Lu Yi laughed. Is this guy hallucinating?

In this case, Lu Yi used a Q skill in return, and Annie moved back and forth, feinting!
Lu Yi detonated in advance, hit the target, and slowed down!
Lu Yi got closer and took advantage of Annie being slowed down to use his E skill. Annie turned around and wanted to fight back, but the distance was too far to use her skill!
Vel'Koz's E skill hits at the maximum distance, knocking the player into the air.

Wawa explained: "This... is a bit embarrassing. Annie wanted to take the initiative to attack, but she didn't get any contact, and she lost a lot of health."

Gugu laughed and said, "So that's the problem I just mentioned. It's already good enough that Vel'Koz doesn't suppress Annie. If Annie still wants to go up and fight, she's just asking for trouble."

After this wave of fighting, FOFO understood what was going on. It turns out that one should not be too arrogant.

Four and a half minutes into the game, the director gave a close-up of the top lane, and Alchemist really began to cut off the minion line!
At this time, Shan Ji's Alchemist was cutting off the line of troops behind the enemy's top lane tower.

So, after Ale dealt with the soldiers under the defensive tower, he chose to turn back and look for Alchemist.

"You like to interrupt the military line, right? I wonder if you can still interrupt the military line!"

However, as soon as he approached Alchemist, Alchemist used his W skill to slow him down, dealt with the minions first, then walked around the wall, as if going back from the other side. The Weapon Master chose to turn back and wait, but Alchemist did not come over, so he stood between the two walls, playing hide-and-seek.

Wawa teased, "It's about to begin. The reserved program of alchemy players, King Qin circling the pillar."
