Everyone on FW looked very happy, but their happiness was not the happiness of winning the game, but the happiness of meeting their idols.

After going on stage, several members of FW wanted to interact with KZ, but KZ ignored them and didn't even notice.

Prince Ning complained: "They are really cheap. Others don't want to pay attention to them, but they insist on licking their faces."

The players from both sides are in position and enter the BP stage.

FW put out a development lineup, seemingly wanting to develop with KZ to the late stage.

But KZ didn’t think so.

KZ ended the game at lightning speed, finishing it in less than thirty minutes.

"I feel like KZ seems to have something." Ning Wang commented.

Baolan said: "I feel like there is something, it feels a little bit stronger than last year."

King Ning pretended to be very scared: "What should we do now? It seems that we are no match for them. I'm scared!"

Yuan Shen teased, "If you're scared, I'll let you go, just treat it as a training exercise."

King Ning didn't even back off: "I'll go up if I want to. It's not like I can't win."

Originally everyone thought that Yuan Shen and King Ning were joking, but when King Ning suddenly said this, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Bao Lan advised: "Master Yuan, you don't need to spoil him, just go ahead, otherwise I'm worried that I will lose."

Rookie and Theshy didn't say anything, but overall they definitely hope that Yuan Shen can play.

It doesn’t mean that we will lose if Ning Wang is on the field, but what is certain is that it will be much more difficult than if Yuan Shen is on the field.

Yuan Shen asked again: "Prince Ning, have you thought it through? Do you want to go?"

Prince Ning nodded: "Think it through, the worst that can happen is that we lose, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Baolan complained: "I thought you were sure of winning so you said just go for it, but it turns out you've already found a way out for yourself?"

Ning Wang ignored Bao Lan and turned to look at Fu Manduo: "Coach, can I go?"

Fu Manduo glanced at Yuan Shen, and seeing that Yuan Shen had no objection, he said, "Okay, since you want to play so much, I'll give you a chance. Playing against a strong team like KZ will be a kind of experience for you."

The matter was thus decided.

Yuan Shen took out his hands and started playing. He had to wait until night, which was quite a long time.

I don’t know how long it was before Yuan Shen heard the noise and his teammates stood up. He looked at the time and it was already eight o’clock in the evening.

Teammates were about to go up to play the game.

Yuan Shen then called out, "You must win, King Ning."

King Ning made a victory gesture: "Easily done."

Thirty-six minutes later, the IG players returned.

Prince Ning walked at the back, dodging and evading, as if he was afraid to face Yuan Shen.

Yuan Shen smiled: "King Ning, what did you say before you went up?"

Ning Wang muttered: "I didn't know that the opponent was Peanut, I thought it was CUZZ. If it was CUZZ, I would have played casually. I have been studying his playing style."

Baolan complained: "Can you brag less? You just brag all day long."

"If you were half as good as you say you are, you wouldn't be like this."

Ning Wang retorted: "You didn't gain an advantage in the bottom lane either. I thought you beat the opponent in the bottom lane."

"If it was Lao Song and Theshy who said that about me, that would be fine, but why are you still saying that about me?"

Fu Manduo interrupted, "Okay, there's nothing to argue about. Even though we lost the game, we can go back and review the game to find out where our problems are instead of arguing."

The IG members took their belongings and left the lounge together, preparing to return to the hotel.

As soon as I walked outside, I ran into KZ coming out of the lounge next door.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Although KZ beat IG, they also knew that IG without Yuan Shen was not the real IG.

Therefore, they dare not clamor or act arrogantly.

For IG, although these people were defeated by them, they just lost to the opponent and seemed to have no face to mock the opponent.

Back at the hotel, everyone began to review the game.

Yuan Shen took a look at the pace online. Sure enough, although it was just a game, LCK fans were already opening champagne:
"I told you that KZ is invincible right now, so IG is no problem!"

"KZ is not afraid of any team except itself. The only team that can beat KZ is KZ!"

"I think LPL can give up this year. This year is the year of Kingzone DragonX."

"That's it? The strongest team in LPL is at this level?"

To rational people, this is extremely outrageous, after all, it is just a group match.

However, this is common in the fan circle, and one game is enough to completely change the reputation of a team.

Moreover, you can switch flexibly. You may be scolding IG now, but if IG wins KZ in the next second, you can immediately help scold back.

The group stage will continue in the next few days.

The schedule for the latter part of the race is the opposite of the previous one.

This means that the opponent on the first day is the same as the opponent on the last day.

It was the last day of the group stage, and KZ maintained their undefeated record.

And IG lost a game to KZ.

Now, the two sides are about to face off for the second time.

In the lounge, the IG players were waiting for the game to begin.

Fu Manduo said, "So who will play in today's game? Has KZ's starting lineup been confirmed? They will play CUZZ in this game."

He looked at Yuan Shen and Prince Ning.

Yuan Shen looked at King Ning. He definitely didn't care.

Anyway, we have advanced now. This is not the S game, so there is actually no difference between advancing as the first or second place.

Although the second place and the second place had different opponents in the semi-finals.

However, the strength of the opponents is similar, so there is no difference.

Ning Wang volunteered: "I'll do it, CUZZ, I can handle it."

Baolan shook his head. He knew that his words were useless. Although he was unhappy, he didn't say anything.

"I have no objection." Yuan Shen spread his hands.

So the starting lineup was decided.

A moment later, Fumanduo brought his players onto the court.

Yuan Shen warned: "Prince Ning, you must win."

This time, King Ning did not speak, but just smiled. He seemed to be worried that setting a flag would cause problems, so he chose to remain silent. Of course, his expression and body movements were still quite confident.

Yuan Shen took out his phone and took a look. Now netizens already knew that Ning Wang would be on IG in this game, so they started to complain online:
“Is this a decision a human can make?”

"No, you still want Prince Ning to go? You don't want to win, right?"

"I really want to give the other team the first place in the group stage for free."

“Is IG so indifferent to fame and fortune?”

Fifty minutes later, the IG players returned to the lounge again.

Prince Ning simply did not show up this time, and only four people came back.

Yuan Shen asked, "Where is Prince Ning?" Bao Lan complained, "He went to the bathroom. I guess he's hiding."

Yuan Shen smiled and said, "Is it that serious?"

Baolan responded, "Yeah, he probably knows his level and doesn't dare to see anyone."

According to Yuan Shen's observation, Ning Wang's performance in the previous game was not that bad. Although he was given some opportunities, he also made contributions.

It’s just that the opponent’s lineup was better and the cooperation was in place, so the loss was not as serious as it seems now.

However, Yuan Shen is not worried about Ning Wang's condition. Ning Wang is quite good in this regard. No matter how he loses the game, he can maintain an optimistic attitude.

The group stage is over and IG has entered the knockout semi-finals, facing FW.

The next day, everyone at IG arrived at the competition venue again and prepared for the competition to begin.

Yuan Shen chose to give Prince Ning a chance and let him continue.

Baolan scolded Ning Wang a few words but did not stop him. After all, the opponent was FW. If Ning Wang went up and IG could not beat FW, then it would not be Ning Wang's only problem, but everyone would have problems.

In the end, all three games were won without any major problems, and the three FW players all had gloomy faces when they left the field.

Everyone was very happy when they came up to play in the first game. They probably saw Ning Wang and thought they had a chance.

This division is like this, and you don’t know how they evaluate their strength, but they actually think they have a chance to win if Ning Wang is on the field. They have a kind of inexplicable confidence.

The next day, KZ beat FNC badly and entered the finals.

The final opponent has been confirmed.

The last day of MSI, the finals are about to begin!
In the IG lounge, the IG members just arrived and put down their belongings.

Then soon, the staff came to remind:
"KZ's starting lineup is confirmed. Top laner Khan, jungler Peanut, mid laner BDD, AD Carry, support GorillA."

Fu Manduo looked at Yuan Shen and said, "I think you need to go up there. If Peanut is on the other side, it will be more difficult."

Yuan Shen said a little: "Well, no problem."

Baolan breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, Master Yuan is finally here!"

Prince Ning was unhappy: "Princess Lan, what do you mean by this? You think I betrayed you, right?"

Baolan laughed: "Don't you know whether you have done something wrong or not?"

Ning Wang retorted: "You are the one who shouldn't betray Yuan Shen. If we lose the game, I can guarantee that it is definitely a problem with the bottom lane."

On the other side, in the KZ lounge, the KZ players were also discussing tactics.

CUZZ said, "Will IG still let that stupid big guy come up to fight?"

Peanut shook his head: "Not likely. They are not fools. They let him go even though they can't beat him."

CUZZ continued: "Why did they insist on letting this big guy come up and play two games with us? Don't they really think that this guy can beat us? This is too outrageous."

Pray responded, "I think it might be to scout our strength. The man is watching from below, so he can find a way to deal with us."

Peanut smiled and said, "Unfortunately, this time we have two junglers taking turns, so their trick won't work."

In fact, this time KZ let the two junglers take turns playing because they felt that Yuan Shen was studying hard when he was not on the field, so every time he came on the field, he could make a big splash.

Therefore, after KZ made such a rotation, it became difficult for Yuan Shen to detect effective information, which interfered with his judgment.

Just then, a staff member came in and reminded:
"IG's starting lineup has been confirmed: top laner Theshy, jungler Yuanshen, mid laner Rookie, ADCSmlz, support Baolan."

Peanut perked up: "Here he comes! He's here!"

Others were also eager to try: "As long as we beat IG with him on the field, no one will say that our victory was unfair."

CUZZ joked: "I guess IG fans are going to cry bitterly, hahahaha."

"I'm waiting for your good news. Victory belongs to us LCK! It belongs to us KZ!"

In the commentary booth at the game, Wawa, Miller and Rita were ready.

Wawa explained: "Hello audience friends, the MSI finals are about to begin, with the spring champion from the LPL region, the three-time champion team IG, facing the spring champion from the LCK region, KZ."

Miller continued: "KZ won the first place in the group stage, while IG came in second and was double-killed by KZ, but it doesn't matter! After all, Yuan Shen didn't play."

Rita agreed: "Yes, according to the news from the front, IG has already confirmed the lineup. Yuan Shen, he is here!"

At the competition venue, the host comes on stage and after a brief opening speech, invites contestants from both teams to take the stage.

First up is KZ!

"KZ! KZ! KZ!" After all, KZ carries the hope of the LCK region, so when they take the stage, many people cheer for them.

Next, it’s IG’s turn!

"Let's welcome IG from the LPL region!"

IG's starting five are on stage!

The atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited!
"IG! IG! IG!"

The audience cheered like thunder.

After both contestants come on stage, they stand facing each other in the middle of the stage.

Yuan Shen faced off against Xiao Huasheng.

Although Peanut is not tall, he looks quite kind.

But he was very powerful and seemed to want to challenge Yuan Shen's strength.

The two sides shook hands and turned to walk towards their respective seats.

After taking his seat, Yuan Shen put on his headphones and entered the BP stage of the first game.

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

BAN hero stage:

IG: Policewoman, Xia, Big Mouth

KZ: Gangplank, Vampire, Gnar
Wawa commented: "The targeting on both sides is quite pure. KZ chose to target the top lane. Khan and Theshy played against each other in the S7 World Finals. At that time, you could see the gap between the two."

"It seems that Khan is under a lot of pressure, so he still needs to triple-ban the top laner."

Miller continued: "I think the most outrageous thing is that they didn't ban a single jungler. It seems a bit disrespectful, don't you think?"

Rita speculated: "It is also possible that they think that banning is meaningless. Anyway, Yuan Shen's hero pool is bottomless, so there are still many options for banning."

Enter the hero selection phase.

KZ on the blue side locked EZ on the first floor.

Wawa analyzed: "KZ's Deng Changlu is very high now, and is far ahead of other ADCs. Kleptomancy has enhanced EZ's possibilities. It is indeed an option for KZ to grab EZ on the first floor."

It was IG's turn, and IG got Kaisa and Sion on the first and second floors.

Miller commented: "Sion? This is something I didn't expect, but Theshy's Sion is indeed different from others. His Sion can kill the opponent's C position alone."

KZ locked Olaf and Shen on the second and third floors.

Wawa commented: "Salvin? Although KZ banned three top laners, Khan was very brave. They chose to use Salvin to fight against Theshy."

IG locked Yasuo on the third floor!

As soon as Yasuo was picked, Rita got excited: "Yasuo! Rookie's Yasuo is here! Yasuo's appearance rate in this version is quite high, and he's about the fifth-most popular player in the mid lane position. Rookie hasn't played Yasuo very often, and he hasn't played him at MSI yet, so this is a good opportunity for me to see him."

Entering the second round of BP.

IG banned Taliyah and Ryze.

And KZ banned Zac and Lee Sin.

Miller analyzed: "Now KZ is blocking junglers who can cooperate with Yasuo, and I feel that we need an AP jungler, otherwise the AP damage is not enough, and it seems that there are not many options." (End of this chapter)
