The next one is jungler Oner. Unlike other players in T1, Oner doesn’t look very sad. It seems that he may have started thinking about working out later and his mind is not on the game.

Next one, mid laner Faker!

Lu Yi walked up to Faker and extended his hand. Faker looked very serious and a little lonely.

Continue moving forward, there are two people in the bottom lane, Gumayusi and Keria.

When Gumayusi shook hands with Lu Yi, he also said: "See you in the finals."

Lu Yi smiled and said nothing. He heard that this man had a bad temper. There was nothing much to say and there was no need to have a conflict.

Finally, it was the support Keria. When Lu Yi shook hands with Keria, he found that his eyes were red, as if he had just cried. He must have been mentally exhausted.

After shaking hands with everyone from T1, Lu Yi returned to his side, packed up his things and prepared to leave.

A Shui was called in for an interview.

Back in the locker room, coach Zhanma greeted everyone, "Everyone has worked hard. Now we just need to beat GEN and we can wait for them to play in the finals. Then we will be relaxed. Everyone, work harder and keep up the form."

Xiaotian muttered, "That auntie game just now, he said he wanted to meet us in the finals?"

"Didn't GEN win the Spring Split championship by defeating T1 -? Can they beat GEN?"

Meiko shook her head. "I think there's a high chance we can't win. Three to zero, that's it. How big of a gap would it take to be three to zero?"

Shan Ji agreed, "That's right. How long has the spring season been over? How could he suddenly become so powerful?"

Shan Ji looked at Lu Yi and asked, "God Yi, what do you think?"

Lu Yi has a different opinion: "I think it's hard to say. T1 is in different states in the World Championship and the League. You can't assume that he won't be good in the World Championship just because he doesn't perform well in the League."

Everyone in TES was quite surprised to hear this. Lu Yi was not the kind of person who would boost the morale of others and destroy his own prestige. He was naturally serious when he said this.

Meiko muttered: "It seems that this MSI championship is really hard to win. If T1 suddenly wakes up in the loser bracket, it will probably be a big threat to us."

Zhan Ma said, "It's too early now. Let's go back and have a meal and then prepare for the game with GEN."

Soon, A Shui came back after the interview, and everyone left the lounge together, returned to the hotel, had a meal, reviewed the game, and then studied GEN's game.

At the same time, in the MSI group, everyone at EDG was congratulating them.

EDG, FOFO: "Congratulations to Top Esports for entering the next round of the winners group."

EDG, Hang: "Top Esports is still awesome. Now we just need to beat GEN."

TES, Shanji: "Hang, I sent you a T1, are you satisfied?"

EDG, Hang: "It makes no difference. Either T1 comes down or you guys come down. Both are difficult to beat."

TES, Meiko: "Come on EDG, we are ready in advance. Top Esports will dominate the winners' group, and you EDG will dominate the losers' group, and then we will enter the finals together."

EDG, Hang: “Definitely.”

Lu Yi smiled when he saw this, thinking that things might not be that simple.

But it’s not a bad thing to be optimistic.

The next day, the match between EDG and T1 started. As comrades, the TES members naturally paid close attention.

However, the final result was not satisfactory. EDG was defeated by T1 to , and the gap was quite obvious.

Shan Ji collapsed: "Ah? Do we have to play against T1 again in the finals?"

Ah Shui responded: "It's also possible that we can play against GEN again. It doesn't matter. Let's beat GEN first."

Zhan Ma greeted, "Let's focus on GEN now, and we can talk about other things later."

A moment later, the EDG team appeared at the door of the TES training room and walked in with small steps.

As soon as he entered the room, Hang began to sigh: "Taobo, you guys need to help us get revenge, we died so miserably."

Everyone in TES was stunned. What was going on? They were not the emperor.

Lu Yi called out, "Don't worry, Hang, we will win."

Meiko said: "We will live with your share."

Hang was so touched: "I knew you would uphold justice!"

Lu Yi scratched his head awkwardly. What does this have to do with justice? Just because others win against EDG, they are evil.

FOFO walked up and said, "Do you still need a sparring partner? If not, we can go back first. Xu Ao can stay."

Abu stepped forward to negotiate: "If you are willing to stay, it will be the best news for us."

"We at Top Esports can afford your expenses here."

Hearing this, everyone in TES smiled and said, "That's good. We can accompany you guys, Top Esports, until the end of MSI."

Zhan Ma responded: "You should at least be there to watch us win the championship and celebrate with us, right?"

FOFO smiled and said, "Yes, in short, we are counting on you Taobo."

The two teams began to discuss the training match. In the current situation, the only people they can trust are their own team members. If they train with GEN now, it is hard to say whether T1 can get the news.

Besides, maybe T1 and GEN also want it very much, so there is no need to get entangled in it.

In short, now we can only trust teams in the same division.

The day passed quickly and the winner's group semi-finals were about to begin!
The TES members ate something in the hotel to fill their stomachs, and then rested for a while to adjust their emotions and mindsets.

Then we set off together, got in the car and headed straight to the competition venue.

The car stopped in the stadium's parking lot, and Zhan Ma said, "Get out of the car and take your things with you. Don't forget."

After Lu Yi got off the bus, he suddenly heard a similar bus coming over with the GEN team logo on the body.

"Here they come! GEN is here." Lu Yi greeted.

So everyone in TES looked over and saw GEN's bus slowly driving over and stopping in front of everyone in TES.

The car door opened and a tall man got out first.

Chovy, the mid laner of GEN, is also the absolute king among the new generation of mid laners in LCK!
Chovy was followed by the rest of the GEN team, who got off the car one by one, and the two teams met each other.

Zhan Ma, the coach, went up to greet the opposing coach, and the players were observing each other.

The atmosphere was not very good. This BO5 was the ticket to the finals, and the loser needed to go to the loser group and play against T1 again.

This is unacceptable for both teams.

Success or failure depends on this.

The two teams walked towards the competition venue together, entered the door together, and moved forward in silence all the way.

Crossing the corridor, the two teams went their separate ways.

Everyone in TES entered the lounge and put down their belongings.

Shan Ji said, "Their Chovy seems to be much more mature than last year. It feels scary."

Meiko agreed: "Last year I felt his family was a bit immature, but now they are very mature and restrained."

Lu Yi laughed: "What are you doing? Face reading? Or fortune telling?"

Ah Shui joked: "They are looking for excuses for their failure in advance."

Meiko complained: "Wenbo, you actually said that, it's too much."

Shan Ji muttered, "Wenbo is showing off again."

Xiaotian joked: "He must think he's very handsome like this, hahaha."

Lu Yi took out his mobile phone and started playing to see what was going on online.

There is new news in the group.

EDG, FOFO: "Come on Top Esports, we will win."

EDG, Hang: "I'm waiting for good news from Top Esports."

TES, Shanji: "Hang, please cheer louder. If we win the championship, you have contributed to it."

EDG, Hang: "That's enough, just don't fall behind."

TES, Shanji: "How can this kid talk like that?" Lu Yi entered the forum and took a look. Everyone was discussing today's BO5.

[I feel like whoever wins today will be the champion. 】

[I didn't expect EDG to be so weak and could only rely on Top Esports. ]

[Can’t EDG ask Top Team to learn a few tricks? ]

[You know you don’t have this ability, right? Can you learn it just because you want to? ]

At this time, the warhorse called out:

"It's almost time, let's get ready to go on stage."

So everyone in TES stood up.

Ah Shui stretched and said, "It's time to work."

On the other side, the audience seats at the competition venue were already packed before the game even started.

Many of the audience were international students who came to cheer for TES.

In the LPL division commentary booth, Wawa commented:

"Hello, audience friends. The winner's bracket final of this MSI is about to begin. TES from the LPL region will face GEN from the LCK region. I am the commentator, Wawa."

Miller replied, "I'm the commentator. Today we have invited a guest, Mr. Ma, to finish the game with us."

The director gave a close-up of a middle-aged man next to him.

The live broadcast room was filled with excitement:

【Old horse, old horse! 】

【Wuhu, take off! 】

[Dai Tou E can actually commentate on MSI? Does he have the ability to do so? ]

[I ask you, where is the opposing jungler? ]

The Grand Marshal said, "Hello, I am the Grand Marshal of Wuhu."

On the competition stage, the host came on stage and after a brief opening speech, he greeted everyone:

"Now, let's welcome the players from both teams to the stage!"

"First up is the spring season feeling from the LCK region, GEN!"

"Top lane, Doran!"

Dolan appeared on stage, walking along the aisle to the center of the stage. The GEN fans at the scene were very excited: "Dolan! Dolan! Dolan!"

"Jungle, Peanut!"

Peanut showed up, and his popularity is much higher than Dolan's.

"Mid, Chovy!"

The moment Chovy came on stage, the atmosphere on the scene reached a small climax.

"ADC, Peyz!"

"Assist, Delight!"

Five GEN members appeared on the field.

"Now, let's welcome the Spring Split champion from the LPL region, TES, with the same enthusiastic applause!"

When it was TES's turn, they also started with the top laner and came on stage one after another.

After the ten people from both sides appeared on the stage, they faced each other in the middle of the stage and shook hands.

Lu Yi faced Chovy. Indeed, Chovy now gives people a much more stable feeling than last year.

This is also a good thing for Lu Yi.

After shaking hands, players from both teams walked to their respective positions, sat down and put on headphones. Everything was ready, and the BP for the first game began!

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

BAN position situation:
TES: Fox, Sylas, Jinx

GEN: Quesanti, Monkey, Annie
Wawa analyzed: "The bans on both sides were very evenly distributed in this match. It felt like a test."

“Maybe GEN felt that although Yishen played well in the previous games, it was not against them. Maybe with Chovy, they could limit Yishen.”

Miller agreed: "It is indeed possible. Chovy feels much more stable now than before. His strength has not declined, but his playing style has become more mature."

Enter the hero selection phase.

GEN on the blue side got the barrel on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "This move is a bit vicious. Gragas is Pheasant's signature hero that can withstand pressure. He is also very strong in this version, but Dolan snatched him away. This is taking Pheasant's path and leaving him with nowhere to go."

TES got the Ruined King and the Stone Man on the first and second floors.

Miller laughed: "Hahaha, Malphite, Shan Ji brought out his Malphite again. In this match, the top laner will definitely lose. Gragas has a strong recovery ability, and Malphite can't consume it. It all depends on the team fight."

GEN locked down Aphelios and Food on the second and third floors.

Wawa commented: "What was surprising in this game was that Top Esports didn't rush to get Aphelios, but chose to let the opponent get it first."

TES got Draven on the third floor!
Miller exclaimed, "Here he comes, Draven is here. No wonder he gave Aphelios to the opponent. It turns out he was prepared."

Entering the second round of BP, TES banned Livo and Syndra.

And GEN banned Taliyah and Leblanc.

Wawa explained: "A lot of mid laners are banned now, so there aren't many heroes left to choose from."

TES took the Titan on the fourth floor.

Miller explained: "We even need Titan. This Titan may go to the middle lane, and I can go to the bottom lane. In this version, Titan going to the middle lane is indeed a good way to play, which is very good."

GEN got Jayce and Maokai on the fourth and fifth floors.

Wawa analyzed: "Chovy's Jayce? To be honest, I don't have much impression of him. He seems average. But for a hero that requires a lot of skill, he won't be too bad in his hands."

TES decisively locked on Lucian on the fifth floor!

Miller exclaimed: "Lucian in the middle lane? This should be Lucian in the middle lane. The middle lane in this game is going to be a bayonet fight."

Wawa continued, “I heard Theshy say that you can pick Lucian when facing Jayce. I don’t know if Yishen thinks so, but he did it.”

Both sides began to adjust their lineups, and soon the lineup was finalized:
[Format: BO5]

【TES】VS【GEN】（0:0）

Top lane: [Lava Behemoth] VS [Barrel]

Jungle: [The Ruined King] VS [Twisted Tree Spirit]

Mid: [Holy Spear Ranger] VS [Future Guardian]

ADC: [Glory Executioner] VS [Howl of the Crescent Moon]

Support: [Deep Sea Titan] VS [Soul Chain Warden]

After the lineup was determined, Wawa and Miller looked at Da Sima. During the whole process, Da Sima remained silent.

Wawa asked: "Teacher Ma, which team do you think is better?"

Da Sima originally wanted to get away with it. After all, he didn't have such in-depth research on these things. What he cared about was to live off his past achievements.

But now that he was asked this question, he couldn't escape it, so he could only say: "I think... everyone can play. The lineup is only one aspect. It also depends on the specific methods of the players. Things on the field are hard to predict."

Wawa and Miller were stunned. It seemed that Da Sima said something, but it also seemed that he didn’t say it.

Entering the game screen, Xiaotian began to set the pace: "This game mainly depends on the mid lane, Yishen, I will cooperate with you."

"As long as we can pin down the opposing mid laner, GEN will be in trouble." (End of this chapter)
