After watching the first game, Baolan analyzed:

"I feel like this Dragon Ball is still strong. We have to be careful when we meet him in the semifinals."

Smlz said: "Although their bottom lane is a little older and has some flaws in operational details, their coordination is too strong. This should be the bottom lane with the best coordination ability that I have seen in this S game."

Then, the second game started. In this game, SKT let the top lane bear the pressure, while the mid and jungle took over the game.

The two teams fought for more than 40 minutes, and SKT narrowly won in the end.

Rookie praised: "The ten players from both teams were in good shape. It seemed like no one was lagging behind. Their operations were very good. Longzhu's operations were even better. This game was won entirely by Faker's experience."

The third and fourth games were almost replicas of the first and second games.

First, Longzhu used his strong personal ability to win the game, and then Faker burned his divine power to help his teammates win back a game.

Everyone on IG enjoyed the show.

Smlz said: "I have to say, this BO5 is pretty good."

Baolan agreed: "Indeed, the operations and decision-making of both teams are quite good. The competition is about who plays better, not who makes more mistakes."

It was the last game, and the director broadcast the video to the live audience. Whether they were fans of Longzhu or SKT, they were all very excited and worried.

The game started, and both sides continued to compete in operations.

"SKT has gone far away." Yuan Shen made a judgment.

King Ning asked: "Is it so easy to see? How did you see it?"

Yuan Shen explained: "SKT should consider changing their play style and choosing a counter-attack lineup for the late game, but they don't seem to think so and still choose to play with Longzhu. I am not optimistic about this."

As a result, Yuan Shen's words came true, and SKT exploded again in the early stage.

Although SKT relied on Faker to try to delay the game and delayed the game for a few minutes.

But there was no way to change the final result, Longzhu defeated SKT 3-2.

When Longzhu went over to shake hands, Faker cried!

In the official live broadcast room, the barrage exploded:
"What a shame, what a shame, they obviously have the ability to make it to the finals."

"This time, LPL got a great bargain."

"Faker is so miserable. He has not achieved any results for three consecutive years."

"Otherwise, do you still think he can win the championship? Even if he beats Longzhu, he can't beat IG."

After the end of this BO5, many people became more convinced that Longzhu is very powerful.

However, in Yuan Shen's opinion, Longzhu and SKT are just two idiots playing chess.

The next day, the quarterfinals continued.

Today's match is between EDG and SSG.

Just when everyone was looking forward to EDG defeating SSG, something outrageous happened!
SSG swept EDG 3-0, and every game was very exciting. SSG was flawless and EDG couldn't find any chance at all.

So someone felt something was wrong!

#Holy crap, was SSG this good before? Wasn't it pretty lame before?
#SSG is like suddenly awakening?
#This is outrageous, EDG was beaten so badly, it’s so tragic!

#Could it be that Yuan Shen’s previous rating was correct!
Everyone remembered that Yuan Shenhe had praised SSG very highly at the beginning, but no one took it seriously at that time. Now it seems that there is really something behind it!

On IG's side, after watching it, everyone started discussing it.

Baolan said, "I feel like SSG's performance is even better than that of Longzhu and SKT yesterday. Both teams made quite a few mistakes yesterday, but SSG made almost no mistakes today."

Smlz speculated: "Is it because of the difference in the strength of the opponents? EDG may be a little weaker than Longzhu and SKT, so SSG's performance seems to have no flaws."

Rookie commented: "There is such a factor, but it won't have such a profound impact. I think SSG is definitely stronger than we initially thought."

Yuan Shen didn't say anything. He said the same thing at the beginning, but no one believed him at that time.

Fumando said, "Let's train first. Our main focus right now is the Dragon Balls. We'll be fighting them in the next round."

At night, when IG was training, someone came over, EDG!

Abu came over with the factory manager.

He found Yuan Shen and said, "Master Yuan, what a pity, what a pity!"

Yuan Shen was stunned. He hadn't figured out the situation yet: "What's a pity? What happened?"

Abu said: "We didn't listen to you at first. We didn't take SSG seriously and thought they were no match for us."

"You know what? Before we played against SSG, we spent a lot of time studying other Longzhu and SKT's play styles, because they were the right ones."

Yuan Shen understood now, but he had nothing to say.

Abu continued: "If we had spent more time, it wouldn't have been so miserable. Now fans are asking us to disband. It's too painful."

The factory manager also came over and said, "I should have asked you to play more training matches earlier."

After the factory manager said this, Yuan Shen remembered that since the second round of the group stage, especially after the knockout stage began, RNG and EDG rarely came to visit him, while they used to often play training games with them.

Abu continued: "From now on, it's all up to you IG and RNG. We have to go home first."

The factory manager said: "I think RNG is not very good either, we still have to rely on IG."

After Abu and the factory manager expressed their regret, they left and said they would leave tomorrow morning.

Yuan Shen didn't know what to say.

Originally there were sixteen teams, so it was quite lively, but now the teams are rapidly decreasing, with all kinds of farewells being said.

At this time, online condemnation of EDG is reaching its peak:
#To think someone could lose to SSG, I suggest EDG disband right here.

# And it was a 3-0 scoreline with no chance of fighting back
#EDG haven't had any scrimmages recently? Why do they seem to know nothing?
#Sure enough, EDG’s limit is the quarterfinals, and they will never be able to break through the quarterfinals in this lifetime.

The next day, the third game of the quarterfinals, the match between IG and MSF began!

All the IG members arrived at the competition site.

In the lounge, everyone put down their things and waited for the game to begin.

Fu Manduo warned: "I won't talk about other details of the game. We should learn a lesson from yesterday's game between EDG and SSG. Don't underestimate any team!"

"So, we must be careful today. If we lose to MSF, the consequences will be ten thousand times more serious than EDG losing to SSG!"

Hearing this, King Ning laughed: "Impossible, watch how I catch them today!"

Yuan Shen chose to arrange Ning Wang to play, not because he looked down on MSF.

Prince Ning really wanted to go up and was very confident, so Yuan Shen thought of letting him perform.

On the other side, in the LPL region commentary booth, Colonel Guan, Jide, and Rita were ready.

Colonel Guan explained: "Hello, audience friends, the quarterfinals of the 2017 League of Legends Professional League World Finals will be held soon, with the No. seed from the LPL region facing the No. seed MSF from the LEC region."

"From the current strength and status of both teams, I think IG's strength and status are perfect, and although MSF is lacking in strength, their competitive status is very good."

Jide agreed: "Yes, MSF's performance in the group stage impressed us. Although not many people paid attention to them, the confidence they showed, their BP and playing style are all worthy of praise."

Rita said: "The news from the front is that Yuan Shen will not play in this game, and it will be Ning Wang who will play." In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"Huh? I've taken off my pants and you're telling me this?"

"Sure enough, Master Yuan misunderstood our meaning."

"We came up here to see Master Yuan, and now we are not allowed to go up?"

"Oh my god, EDG crashed yesterday, I hope IG won't crash today."

Players from both teams came on stage, and Ning Wang walked onto the stage with a confident smile.

However, what he didn't expect was that he was beaten badly by MSF in the first game!
MSF used Diana as support in the bottom lane, coupled with War Enthusiasm, and blew up IG's bottom lane!
Even when King Ning went to catch him, he was beaten one for one.

In the first game, IG lost!

In the official live broadcast room, the barrage completely exploded:
"Ah? IG really crashed? What are you kidding? EDG at least lost to LCK, you lost to the European and American bastards??"

“Is this year going to be the worst year for LPL?”

“It feels so far away, really.”

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"It's over. I was counting on you to clean up the Dragon Balls, and this is the result?"

In the IG lounge, the players came back after the game, their morale was low.

Fu Manduo stepped forward to comfort him, "It's okay, we just lost a game, it's not a big deal, the key is to keep a steady mindset. They used a strange tactic in the bottom lane, we just need to be careful in the next game."

Baolan and Smlz chose to take the blame, as the problems in the bottom lane were indeed quite big in this game.

In the second game, after banning the opponent's bottom lane tactics, IG indeed won.

However, the process was still difficult, and the MSF team is very tenacious!
In the third game, IG continued to target the bottom lane in BP. Although the process was still very difficult, they won in the end.

Prince Ning was happy now: "I said they were no good, they just knew a few tricks."

Rookie has a different opinion: "I think they still have something. They can't be underestimated. Draft is just one aspect."

Prince Ning teased, "Old Song, don't be like this. You are so scared after losing a game. Should I call you Great Song?"

Rookie asked: "Will Ning still play in the next game?"

Rookie has already felt the risk of failure. The victory in the first two games was largely due to luck. The opponent gave him some opportunities, but you can't expect the opponent to have this problem every time and let you win the game.

Prince Ning patted his chest and assured: "Just watch my performance, Old Song, don't be afraid."

Seeing that Prince Ning was so confident, Yuan Shen did not stop him.

So the fourth game began.

What no one expected was that MSF won the fourth game, and it was quite smooth, with smooth progress all the way.

The whole place went crazy!

#MSF is going to the sky? They are sending IG back home
#No buddy, G2, as the number one seed in their region, doesn't feel like they're half as good as them.

#Did the people in this team take the wrong medicine?

#I think it’s mainly because Yuan Shen didn’t play. It’s already the fifth game, so Yuan Shen should play.

In the IG lounge, everyone from IG just came back, and Ning Wang exploded:

"Oh my god, are European and American bastards so hard to deal with now? Why are they so hard to beat?"

Rookie said earnestly: "I just told you not to underestimate them, but you just messed around and gave the other team heads by crossing the tower. Isn't it normal that you can't win?"

Ning Wang defended himself: "I didn't expect them to have any tricks. I thought I could just crush them, so I just wanted to finish the fight quickly."

Baolan complained: "The opponent is not a robot, he will definitely be able to operate it."

Fu Manduo looked at Yuan Shen and asked, "You are going to play in the next game, right?"

Yuan Shen looked at King Ning.

Prince Ning said quickly, "I won't go up, really, you go up, Yuan Shen."

At the game site, the three commentators at the LPL division commentary booth all looked unhappy.

Colonel Guan explained:

"The battle song sounded! The fifth match between the two sides is about to begin. I never thought that the match between IG and MSF would be dragged to the fifth game."

"We originally thought it would be a direct sweep like yesterday."

I remember jokingly saying, "It's not the same as yesterday, there are some similarities, for example, the LPL teams all crashed."

Rita continued: "I don't think it should be that serious..."

"I have received news from the front. IG has made a substitution! They adjusted their lineup and replaced the jungler with Yuan Shen! Here he comes, Yuan Shen is here!"

As soon as these words came out, the barrage in the official live broadcast room exploded:
"He's finally here, woooooo... I just came to see if he can make it. If not, I won't watch it anymore."

"Who on earth wants to watch Ning Wang play? Anyway, I always support Yuan Shen."

"What if, I mean what if, Yuan Shen comes up and still can't beat us?
#Then I guess MSF will win the trophy.

Players from both teams are on the field!
The director turned the camera to IG. When Yuan Shen appeared, the audience went crazy:
"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"

"IG! IG! IG!"

Yuan Shen came to his seat and waved to the audience.

So the audience's enthusiasm was ignited again!
Guan Daxiao commented: "This is the influence of Yuan Shen. It can be clearly felt that after Yuan Shen appeared on the stage, the LPL fans at the scene became much more confident, not to mention the other IG players."

Yuan Shen sat down on a chair and put on headphones, saying, "Are you all ready? This is the last game, and we have no way out."

Rookie responded: "I'm ready, let's get started."

Smlz responded: "We will try our best not to fall behind in the bottom lane."

Baolan said: "I hope they won't have any more weird combinations in the bottom lane."

Theshy: “Open!”

So the fifth game began.

In this game, IG is on the red side and MSF is on the blue side.

Entering the hero ban stage, MSF targeted the jungle position and banned EZ, Shen and Lee Sin.

IG banned Diana, Tristana and Xayah.

Colonel Guan analyzed: "We can foresee that MSF will target them, but IG's targeting of the bottom lane shows that the bottom lane is under a lot of pressure, or it's a psychological disadvantage. The previous tactics used by MSF's bottom lane really confused IG."

Entering the hero selection stage, MSF on the blue side got the big worm on the first floor.

It was IG's turn to choose, and IG locked Gnar and Varus on the first and second floors.

I remember the commentator said: "Theshy's Gnar is quite effective against this sandbag-like top laner. It depends on whether MSF's top laner can hold up."

Rita said: "I found that when Yuan Shen was on the court, IG's BP was much more aggressive. If Yuan Shen was playing, some heroes would not be used casually." (End of this chapter)
