Wawa explained: "This is IG's teamfighting ability. Netizens even gave this style of play a very considerate nickname, called the Pack of Wolves Tactics, which is quite descriptive."

"To put it simply, it's about forming an encirclement first, then one of them launches an attack to attract the other side's attention, and then the others take new actions based on the other side's reaction. This requires a high level of individual skill from the players, who must be able to adapt to changing circumstances. Only a team like IG can use this tactic."

Miller agreed: "That's right, now that GEN's mid lane tower is gone, they can't get vision out, and IG has more room to operate."

Twenty-three minutes into the game, Yuan Shen commanded, "It's almost time. Let's build vision for the Baron pit first. We're going to take the Baron. Baby, come with me."

Yuan Shen brought Baolan to the vicinity of the dragon pit to provide vision, while the others were responsible for pushing the top lane.

"Gather, set up an ambush first and wait for the enemy to come over." Yuan Shen commanded.

So everyone in IG started walking towards the Baron pit, preparing to ambush.

Wawa commented: "The vision of the Baron pit is now controlled. From GEN's perspective, there are no IG players on the map. They should be able to sense that the Baron is in danger. Sure enough, they started to group together and prepare to go to the Baron pit to take a look."

Miller continued: "IG is now ambushing instead of going straight for the Baron. Will GEN go into the bushes with their faces?"

Suddenly, a divination orb fell into the dragon pit, and Yuan Shen went over and took the divination orb.

The opponent only has Tristana who has exchanged for the Divination Orb, so this is the only one. Now it has been used up. In the future, it can only rely on its face to explore the bushes to get close to the dragon pit.

The GEN players chose to push the middle lane first, and then did not dare to destroy the tower, after all, they did not know whether the dragon had been hit or not.

Urgot and Gragas led the way in front. The two moved closer to the bushes above the river. Gragas threw out a Q skill to test, but it seemed that there was no one there.

So he walked over to put his eyes on the target, and found that there was really no one there!
"They may have already started fighting." Ruler had a bad feeling.

GEN members quickened their pace and headed towards the dragon pit, wanting to find out what was going on.

Nearing the river bush, Gragas continued to use the Q skill to test and found that Luo was there. However, Baolan's Luo did not choose to start a team fight directly. This was obviously a problem. Most likely, he was already fighting the Baron.

Gragas was approaching the Baron pit and was about to place a ward through the wall, then Lissandra appeared in his face!

Gragas immediately follows up with an E skill and a meaty bomb attack!

"Kill him in one second! We can kill him in one second!" Haru was very excited.

Thresh followed up with a hook and hit Lissandra in mid-air, while Tristana and Syndra came forward to deal damage.

However, at this moment, Syndra and Tristana jumped up together and were knocked away! Flying forward, Luo used his ultimate move, a fleeting moment, and made a grand appearance, knocking the two away, charming!
Miller exclaimed, "We've been fooled! GEN focused all their attention on the front. They didn't think that Taliyah was lying in ambush in the bushes on the side, waiting for their double Cs to go up and deal damage. One W killed two people. Lissandra used her Thrust Stick and followed up with QW. Her ultimate was used on Syndra, and Tristana was also affected. Both of them were killed instantly!"

"Ornn uses his ultimate, summons the Lava God, and uses Taliyah's ultimate to block the way. GEN has no way to escape, and they are all going to die! Ornn's ultimate knocks Urgot and Gragas away, and Kai'Sa enters the game with his ultimate! He uses his E skill to speed up his movement, avoids Urgot's E skill, fights and retreats at the same time, and Urgot has no way to fight back!"

The team battle entered its final stage. Without double Cs, GEN could not win the team battle at all and was defeated miserably.

Wawa commented: "It's over, it's all over. In this teamfight, Yuan Shen was ambushing in a very dangerous position, and the opponent was not prepared at all. Now the Baron has also been taken by IG. The economic gap has reached 10,000. IG showed us their strength as the No. 1 seed of LPL."

On the IG side, Baolan cheered, "Almost won. Let's push the middle lane and send them away."

Yuan Shen responded: "No problem. Their ultimate skills are not ready yet. We will start a fight directly later. There is no need to hesitate."

Smlz suddenly sent a message to remind his teammates that he now has a stopwatch.

Everyone will understand when they see this stopwatch.

This is to be put into action.

The five IG players returned to the city for supplies. After going out, they pushed the three lanes of troops slightly, and then gathered in the middle lane for a team fight.

Wawa commented: "Here they come. IG are pushing forward in a group. If GEN doesn't handle it well, they might get caught in a wave."

The middle lane soldiers entered the second tower, and five GEN players defended under the defensive tower.

There were only four people on the front of IG. Yuan Shen had already reached the side. Seeing that the five people on the opposite side were under the defense tower, Yuan Shen decisively gave the order: "Go!"

While speaking, Yuan Shen used his ultimate skill behind the five people on the opposite side, blocking their way back to the middle lane high ground.

Immediately afterwards, Ornn used his ultimate skill, Summons of the Lava God!
Ornn's ultimate passes through the opposing defensive tower, slowing down Syndra, Tristana and Gragas!

Guan Zeyuan commented: "IG took the initiative to start the team fight. Now GEN is trapped under the defensive tower and seems to have nowhere to go! It means that Ornn's ultimate was hit! Syndra didn't flash and was knocked away. Tristana used her W skill to pass through Taliyah's ultimate, but Urgot and Thresh don't have this ability."

"Kai'Sa is coming! His target is Syndra! Icathian Rain, and Taliyah! Taliyah is on the side, and he kills the low-health Syndra with a W followed by an EQ! Ding! Kai'Sa uses the stopwatch to avoid Gragas's ultimate and Thresh's hook!"

Wawa continued, "Lissandra enters the field with Ice Claws, controls Thresh and Urgot, and uses her ultimate on herself. Luo dances lightly in pairs, and makes a grand appearance in a flash! IG players enter the field one after another, and GEN can't hold on any longer!"

"Tristana wanted to counterattack, but Taliyah was using her Q skill to attack from the side, so he could only move away. Now his teammates couldn't take care of him, the situation was very bad!"

After Kaisa's stopwatch ended, Tristana wanted to take him down, but before she could hit him a few times, she was Qsi'd by Yuan Shen's Taliyah. As a result, GEN completely lost its support point in the team battle and became the one that was beaten unilaterally.

Wawa commented: "It looks like it's about to end. After IG won this teamfight, they will end the game in one go. In this game, IG showed the world the strength of the No. 1 seed in the LPL. Let's congratulate IG! They helped the LPL region get off to a good start."

On the screen, IG led the troops to the high ground and took the middle high ground. The next step is the front tower and the base crystal.
Baolan cheered, "We won! We won!"

Smlz also celebrated: "Nice! Thank you all for helping me win the game."

Yuan Shen laughed: "Is there such a saying? If I can win the S game with just one person, that would be heavenly."

Rookie said: "We are a team. We don't win the game because of one or two people playing well. We can win the game if five people play well."

IG ended the game in one go.

The LPL fans at the scene cheered: "IG! IG! IG!"

Although it is just a group match, it is a confrontation between China and South Korea, and it is also the opening match, which is very important for the LPL region.

On the field, the IG players lined up to shake hands with GEN.

GEN is under a lot of pressure now. After all, they are the host and lost the opening game, which is not a good sign.

After shaking hands with everyone at GEN, Yuan Shen led his teammates to the center of the stage and bowed. After bowing, they took their belongings and prepared to leave. At this time, the host came on stage and greeted them:
"Congratulations to IG from the LPL region for winning the opening match..."

Yuan Shen was invited by the staff to be interviewed, so he had to hand the things to his teammates and went to the middle of the stage and stood next to the host.

The host said, "I have invited IG's starting jungler, Yuanshen, to be interviewed by us."

Yuan Shen took the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, I am IG's jungler, Yuan Shen."

The whole crowd went crazy:

"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"

Yuan Shen glanced down and saw that at least half of the audience were Chinese, either international students or people who came here to watch the game. It was relatively easy to distinguish between the Chinese and the locals.

The host began to ask questions: "First question, this is your first appearance in this S game, Yuan Shen, and your performance is amazing. How do you evaluate your opponent GEN?"

Yuan Shen commented: "I think GEN is a very good opponent. Their individual strength is pretty good, their teamwork is good, and their hero pool is not a big problem." The host asked: "Then why did GEN lose to you?"

Yuan Shen smiled and said, "Although they have no problems in all aspects, they don't have any advantages either."

When the audience heard this, they all laughed. This is the method of first praising and then criticizing.

The host continued to ask: "Second question, IG is in very good shape at the moment, so what are IG's goals and plans for this S?"

Yuan Shen replied: "We at IG only come here to win the championship. For us, if we can't win the championship as a professional, what's the difference between us and salted fish?"

The audience was amused again

So the host asked: "Who do you think will be the biggest obstacle on your way to winning the championship?"

Yuan Shen responded: "If we talk about the biggest obstacle, it must be ourselves. We have enough strength, but if various problems come into play, we may lose the game."

"In short, our own mentality and state of mind are the most important. We will also focus on these things. As for the performance of other teams, it is difficult for us to control it, but as long as we are strong, these are not a problem."

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"This is how the strong speak!"

"Too confident! Why is he so confident!"

“Strength is the foundation of self-confidence.”

"Watch and learn carefully what the mentality of a strong person is."

The host greeted: "Congratulations again to IG for winning the opening game, and thank you Yuanshen for the interview."

The interview was over, and Yuan Shen chose to return to the lounge. As soon as he entered the door, Fu Manduo came up to him:
"It's hard work. We have another game later. Let's take a rest first."

Yuan Shen sat on the sofa and took out his cell phone to look at it.

There is news in the S game group.

RNG, UZI: "Yuan Shen is too strong! Yuan Shen is awesome."

EDG, Clearlove8: "It seems I still need to learn more from Yuan Shen."

IG, Ning: "Are you handsome? I just want to ask you if you are handsome? Once Yuan Shen makes a move, we will know whether you are handsome or not."

IG, Baolan: "Can you be talked about randomly? It wasn't you who beat him, what does it have to do with you?"

IG, Ning: "Princess Lan, you're almost there, I'm not talking to you, what do you know?"

The two started to quarrel.

Soon, the second game began, EDG vs. MAD.

This MAD is also a team from the LEC region and the second seed.

Before the EDG players came on the court, RNG did not forget to mock them.

RNG, UZI: "MingKai, if you can't beat the European and American losers, don't say you are from our LPL region."

RNG, Xiaohu: "EDG, please do something. IG has already taken the lead and set an example. Don't mess it up."

EDG, Meiko: "I think you should focus more on yourselves, and just don't lose to the European and American bastards."

EDG won this game relatively easily as the opponent MAD was not very strong.

After coming back, EDG began to taunt RNG in return.

The two teams formed a wonderful relationship, putting pressure on each other and spurring each other forward. If you look at it from the perspective of Triangle Grass, this kind of quarrel is quite good.

In the third game, PVB played against FW. Yuan Shen didn’t even know the people from PVB, so he just continued playing with his phone.

IG defeated GEN, which greatly boosted the momentum of the LPL region.

Although IG was rated as the strongest team in this S game, and Yuan Shen is the strongest player, without a real fight, you cannot guarantee the final result. For some more cautious fans, they can only feel at ease when they see the game win.

In the fourth game, FNC faced RNG.

Finally, it was an interesting game, and EDG did not forget to taunt RNG before they came on the court.

In the end, RNG defeated FNC without any danger.

Ning Wang muttered, "Something is wrong. We in LPL have won three games. Is it so powerful? I'm not used to it."

Baolan complained: "You have to get used to it if everything falls apart?"

Ning Wang retorted: "Who said that all of them have to fail? Just one or two will do, that's normal performance."

In the fifth game, AFS vs. G2!

Fu Manduo called out, “Everyone take a serious look at this. After all, AFS is the second seed of LCK. Maybe we can learn something.”

Everyone on IG put down their phones and looked at the screen together as players from both teams came on stage.

AFS looks quite confident, and so does G2!
G2 was also very confident. Ning Wang joked: "Are you all so optimistic? But someone is bound to lose. It will be fun to watch."

In this situation where both sides are confident, problems are indeed likely to arise, and the losing side will feel very uncomfortable.

BP, enter the game screen.

G2 showed their ability to control the rhythm at the start of the game and took the lead.

Moreover, G2's current style of play is more organized. After gaining the advantage, instead of mindlessly joining the team to snowball, they choose to operate.

On the contrary, AFS was a bit anxious and seemed to want to prove themselves.

Baolan muttered, "This AFS seems to be playing randomly. Is it because they are playing at home and are under a lot of pressure?"

Yuan Shen nodded: "It's very likely. The pressure will definitely be much greater than playing in a foreign country."

In the end, G2 defeated AFS without any danger, and LCK suffered its first defeat.

Fortunately, GEN will face VIT next, and VIT is considered the bottom team.

GEN easily defeated VIT and got one point back for LCK.

The last match is between IG and C9. (End of this chapter)
