The game was over, and the audience was cheering: "Taobo! Taobo! Taobo!"

On the competition stage, everyone from TES stood up to celebrate.

Xiaotian cheered, "Nice! We're in the winner's bracket!"

Lu Yi and Xiao Tian high-fived: "Happy cooperation, Emperor Gao Tian."

Xiaotian smiled and said, "Shen Yi thinks too highly of me, just call me Xiao Gao."

Shan Ji also came over: "Emperor Gao, God Yi, our midfielder, top laner and jungler are so strong! They are the iron triangle."

Shan Ji tried to join in, but Xiao Tian's face changed and he complained: "If you give away less on the road, we will win more comfortably. I really admire you."

Shan Ji smiled and said, "I am sharing the pressure with you guys. The other side knows that I am easy to catch, so they come to catch me instead of you, right?"

A Shui and Meiko came over and joined the celebration.

Meiko joked: "Ashui, you feel good now, you beat Hans Sama badly."

Ah Shui suppressed his excitement and said, "What are you talking about? It's just a normal game. Don't give it any weird meaning. We are not that kind of people."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed when they heard this. It can be seen from the time they chose the heroes that A Shui and the opposing ADC were fighting with each other, and now he refuses to admit his victory.

Lu Yi greeted, "Okay, let's go over and shake hands first, the others are still waiting."

So the TES players lined up and came to G2 to shake hands.

First, the mid laner of G2, the guy nicknamed the God King.

At this moment, the God King seemed to have exhausted all his divine power and became completely listless.

Next, jungler Yike.

Lu Yi walked up to Yike, and Yike didn't even dare to look up at him, he was shocked!

Next up, mid laner Caps.

Caps now has a worried look on his face, and it seems that he hasn't recovered yet.

Seeing Lu Yi, Caps sighed helplessly and said, "It looks like we have no chance this year."

Lu Yi consoled him: "It's okay, this is just MSI, and you're just in the loser bracket, it doesn't mean you won't have a chance to fight back."

Caps smiled bitterly: "Maybe, but thank you for your comfort."

Lu Yi continued to move forward, and it was Hans Sama's turn.

Seeing Lu Yi coming over, Hans Sama's face looked extremely ugly, as if he was giving Lu Yi a cold look.

Lu Yi naturally wouldn't care about him. He wanted to see what would happen when A Shui and Hans Sama shook hands.

So after shaking hands with the two players in the bottom lane of G2, Lu Yi walked forward and looked back.

A Shui came over, shook hands with Hans Sama, and they made eye contact!

Ah Shui said, "You played well. You seem to be much stronger than I thought. I'm glad to see someone using a hero like Draven in the World Championship. We will have another Draven player in the future."

It is obvious that A Shui wants to suppress the other party and make himself the orthodox one, while the other party is just a follower.

However, Hans Sama refused to accept his fate: "I don't think your winning the game has much to do with the bottom lane."

"But congratulations to you for having such strong teammates who can help you win the game and the championship."

Ah Shui smiled: "Maybe, as long as you are happy."

After shaking hands with the G2 players, the TES players bowed towards the audience in the middle of the stage.

Then, the host came on stage and asked Ah Shui to stay for an interview.

The other TES members returned to the lounge to rest first.

Back in the lounge, Zhan Ma came up to me and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"Now that we have entered the winners' group, we can be considered to have bought an insurance policy. Of course, in the end, we don't have to lose once and can keep winning."

Lu Yi said: "That's for sure. Our next step is to send T1 to the loser bracket."

T1 is TES's next round opponent.

Xiaotian joked: "Our luck is not very good this time. I feel that we should play against GEN first and finish the difficult ones. T1 should be able to win as well. Then we can go directly to the finals if we play against T1."

Lu Yi shook his head: "Although GEN crushes T1 in their league, it's hard to say when it comes to the World Championship. The version is different, and T1 has a bonus when playing in international competitions."

Xiaotian muttered, "Is it so mysterious? There's even a bonus?"

Lu Yi responded: "I am not making this up. You can look at their historical records. Their records in world competitions are all pretty good."

Meiko agreed: "That's true. If we hadn't stopped them from winning, T1 would probably have many more championships now. They seem to be much more serious in the World Championship than in the League."

Shan Ji complained: "I guess it's because there are too many league titles, so I don't want to win any more."

Seeing that A Shui had not come back yet, Lu Yi picked up his phone and took a look. There was a message in the group.

EDG, Hang: "Yes, that's great. We defeated G2 -."

EDG, FOFO: "G2 is pretty strong. I thought they could last a few more moves in your hands."

TES, GodYi: "If we have to fight G2 for a few more moves, it will be troublesome. We won't be able to fight GEN and T1 later."

EDG, Ale: "Yishen, your Quesanti feels better than the top laner."

EDG, FOFO: "Of course, the best player in the league, who am I messing with you?"

TES, GodYi: "Let's see how EDG performs tomorrow."

A moment later, A Shui came back and everyone left the competition venue together.

Let’s go have a meal first, and then go back to review today’s game.

There is also a match between EDG and C9 going on simultaneously. The TES players don't have time to watch it, nor do they need to. If EDG can't beat C9, then the LPL region will be in big trouble.

In the end, EDG defeated C9 - and stayed in the winner group.

Then, the next day, the match between GEN and GG began.

The biggest BO5, GEN won easily, so much so that no one in TES watched this BO5.
Because GEN can deliberately bring out some heroes and systems that they don’t want to play in this BO5 to mislead others.

It’s better not to watch this kind of game.

In the match between T1 and MAD, T1 passed smoothly and remained in the winner group.

As a result, four winners' group spots appeared: TES, EDG, GEN, T1.
The next step will be divided into the loser group and the winner group.

The next round of the winner group is TES vs. T1, and EDG vs. EDG.

The loser will be relegated to the loser bracket.

There are currently four teams in the loser group. They will fight against each other. Two winners will advance to the next round and play against the teams below the winner group.

The next day, two BO5s in the loser group began. In the end, G2 defeated MAD and C9 defeated GG, and the two teams stood out.

Nothing happened overnight, and the match between GEN and EDG is about to begin.

Before going to the game, Hang ran to the TES training room.

At this time, the TES team was eating, and Hang walked in and said, "Brothers, we are going to fight against the LCK monster, remember to cheer for us."

Xiaotian joked: "GEN is not playing casually? They are just the first place in LCK. Any more than three games are redundant."

Hang exclaimed, "Emperor Gao, what you said is true. So, we, EDG, will temporarily recruit you to play three games. Each game will cost 100,000. As long as we win, it's fine." Meiko smiled and said, "Hang, we believe in you. It may not be so easy for us to play against GEN, but you, EDG, can do it."

Hang responded: "Forget it, you are just flattering me."

An hour later, the match between GEN and EDG began, and the TES members gathered together to watch the live broadcast.

Players from both teams came on the field, and the five GEN players appeared on the field, looking quite confident.

There were a lot of people cheering for GEN at the scene. EDG's player base has been replaced one after another, and because they have not been able to achieve any results, their popularity outside has dropped very seriously, so there were not many people cheering for EDG at the scene.

In the first BP, Chovy took out Ahri in the middle lane.

Xiaotian asked: "From my impression, Chovy's Ahri has always been pretty average. He can't play with that feeling, not as good as Faker."

Lu Yi nodded: "Well, the hero Fox is indeed not very good. I feel that he was chosen just because Fox is strong in this version."

Meiko became interested: "Does that mean EDG has a chance to win this game? If EDG wins, our region will have a high chance of reaching the finals. Then we will defeat T1 and let the two LCK teams meet in the loser bracket."

Ah Shui joked: "Your plan is too optimistic. If it really works, I think LCK will disband directly."

However, things are not that simple. Although Chovy picked a hero he is not good at, his basic skills are there, so he has no pressure in developing in the laning phase.

In the Rift Herald team fight, TES's mid, top and jungle cooperated perfectly and killed one player first. EDG, who was outnumbered, was defeated.

Lu Yi made a judgment: "It's too far. Facing a team like GEN, if you let them get such a big advantage in the early stages, it's basically impossible for them to win."

Just like what Lu Yi said, EDG was no longer able to resist and GEN began to pursue the victory.

In the end, GEN easily won the first game.

Xiaotian analyzed: "The biggest feature of these TES players is their strong individual strength. They are all very strong. The gap between EDG and them is obvious. They can still hold their own in laning, but in a small-scale team battle like this with equal numbers, the gap is easy to see."

Meiko agreed: "Indeed, from the perspective of individual reaction, ability to seize opportunities, etc., the gap is quite obvious. I feel that EDG should consider changing their play style, with the jungler putting more effort, and first establish an advantage in the laning phase."

Immediately afterwards, the second game began.

This time, EDG's play was much more proactive than before.

However, they were never able to gain a decisive advantage. They had an advantage, but it was not big.

So the game was dragged on, with both sides going back and forth.

Lu Yi commented: "I feel like EDG will definitely lose if they continue playing like this. If it doesn't work out, just give it a try. If you win, you win. If you lose, you can play the next game."

Ah Shui shook his head: "EDG is not the kind of team that would gamble."

Sure enough, EDG chose to continue dragging the game with the opponent and develop their game.

The situation was getting worse and worse. The economic lead in the past was basically meaningless, and the time was already more than 30 minutes.

In the end, EDG lost the Dragon Soul group and was taken away in one wave.

The score was two to zero.

Xiaotian sighed and said, "LCK is still strong. I think EDG will be defeated 3-0. How are we going to beat GEN?"

Ah Shui was calmer: "Do nothing. Let him be as strong as he wants. The breeze will blow over the hills."

Lu Yi laughed and said, “If you feel that GEN is difficult to deal with, then playing against T1 will be hell mode.”

The third game begins and the contestants come on stage.

It's obvious that EDG's condition is not right, and all five players are in a rather sluggish state.

In the third game's BP, EDG took an unconventional approach and brought out the Nightmare and Clockwork systems.

Meiko exclaimed, "Isn't this our system? Stolen?"

Xiaotian joked, "Professional players' stuff isn't called stealing."

At the beginning of the game, EDG was at a slight disadvantage in the early stage, but relying on the cooperation of Clockwork and Nightmare, they won the Rift Herald team battle!

Xiaotian cheered, "Nice! This combination is definitely something."

Ah Shui muttered, "Are we really going to win? But it's no use winning one game, we'll still lose in the end."

Lu Yi said, "Let's talk about it after we win a game."

Things are not as simple as imagined. Although the disadvantage has turned into an advantage, it is not easy to break through GEN's iron wall.

GEN directly gave up the team fight and instead let the mid and top laners push the line together. The pulling of the top and bottom lanes directly paralyzed EDG.

EDG had to follow GEN's rhythm.

The game was dragged on for more than thirty minutes. GEN took the bottom lane high ground by solo laning and then went to fight the big dragon.

EDG was forced to join a team fight and had to send players to defend the bottom lane, which meant their lineup's biggest advantage was gone. If not all five players were in the front, it would have been difficult to be effective in a team fight.

In the end, GEN still won the game and defeated EDG by relying on a single laning.

"Ah! They can even be overturned? What is EDG doing?" Xiaotian felt unbelievable.

Meiko was also shocked: "I thought that after they formed this group, they should be able to win. After all, they still have the advantage, but why didn't they do anything?"

Lu Yi analyzed: "It's mainly a matter of personal ability. EDG's mid and top lanes are hard to lead, but the opponent can lead without thinking. GEN can't beat them in a one-on-one fight. If you call for help, it's a waste of time and you may not be able to catch them. In short, it's very uncomfortable."

"Anyway, GEN has now swept EDG 3-0, so we have to be careful."

Zhan Ma agreed, "What Yishen said is right. GEN is coming on strong now. After we beat T1, we still have GEN as a challenge. We need to maintain the intensity of our training."

"Let's get started now and conduct intensive training for T1."

So the TES members started training.

In the evening, the EDG team returned to the hotel, and the first thing they did was to arrange a training match with TES. They were relegated to the loser group, and it was very difficult for them to fight their way back.

One night has passed, and today's matches will be between EDG and T1, and between EDG and G2.

EDG is still quite confident now, after all, they learned how to play against G2 from TES.

A Shui was very enthusiastic about this matter and provided a lot of suggestions to EDG's bottom lane.

It feels a bit like a personal vendetta.

At present, the focus is on the match between T1 and TES.

At noon, after eating something, all the TES members came to the competition venue together.

In the lounge, Lu Yi sat on the sofa and picked up his mobile phone to take a look.

Everyone on the Internet is discussing this BO5.

[I heard that T1 is really lame right now and is being beaten by GEN. Is that true? ]

【T1 always seems to be lagging behind against GEN. 】

[You may not know that Dolan is now Zeus's nemesis. He is now the top laner in LCK. ]

[Ah? Doran is the top laner in LCK? That’s too abstract, he is Doran! ]

This does sound a bit abstract, because Dolan has a good "international friend", which is the nickname given to him by LPL fans.

The reason is simple. Dolan easily fails when facing LPL teams.

And now, he has become the strongest top laner in LCK. LPL fans are naturally very happy. They couldn't ask for more. (End of this chapter)
