When players from both sides came on stage, AFS looked under a lot of pressure, which was understandable since they were facing a team like IG.

Entering the BP phase, both sides were quite unrestrained in this game, and basically used operational heroes, especially in the mid and top lanes.

The mid lane is Irelia versus Leblanc, and the top lane is Urgot versus Aatrox.

After the BP was over, Fu Manduo came back and asked, "Our lineup should be okay in this game, right?"

Yuan Shen nodded: "Well, that's good. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to win."

In the top lane, Yuan Shen found that Kiin was indeed quite capable and was not at a disadvantage against Theshy.

This person's laning operations are very delicate and his basic skills are solid.

Fu Manduo also praised: "LCK has another super top laner. This guy is really strong."

Fumanduo had paid attention to Kiin before, but he just needed a chance to test it out.

After all, the top laners in LCK are currently in a stage of transition from the old to the new.

The strength of the old top laners is declining rapidly, while the new top laners are still growing.

Therefore, it is difficult to tell whether the team is really strong or it is just because the competition in the region is not very competitive and they are just trying to pick a general from a group of short guys.

Now it seems that Kiin is really capable.

IG still has an advantage in the early laning phase, especially in the middle lane.

The strength of AFS's bottom lane is also quite good, but they don't seem to like to pressure the opponent in the laning stage, and choose to develop peacefully.

This is very comfortable for IG's bottom lane. After all, their role most of the time is to develop and deal damage in team fights, and they just need to stay stable in laning phases.

However, the accident still happened.

Ning Wang failed to perform well. In this game, the opponent's jungler who used to be very nervous suddenly stopped being so nervous. Instead, Ning Wang started to be very nervous. He could catch enemies and even really gave up.

Maybe this is the law of conservation of nervousness. There will always be someone who is nervous among our players and those on the opposing team.

Fortunately, the mid and top laners were strong and performed exceptionally well in the team battle, turning the situation around. In the end, IG won with difficulty.

After a while, everyone came back, and Yuan Shen heard Bao Lan's complaint: "Ning Mazi, can you please stop making things more difficult for us? I give up."

King Ning retorted: "What do you mean by giving it to you to increase the difficulty? Does it have anything to do with you?"

After entering the room, everyone immediately behaved themselves when they saw Fu Manduo’s stern face.

Fu Manduo said: "AFS is not that strong. If we need to come back to win against an AFS Ouding, then we don't have to think about winning the championship."

Hearing this, King Ning touched his neck and said defensively: "I didn't play well in this game, I won't play well in the next game."

Fu Manduo said, "I'll give you one last chance. If your performance in the next game doesn't improve, then go to the water dispenser first."

Ning Wang rubbed his hands and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely explode in the next game!"

Yuan Shen had a bad feeling. When King Ning said he wanted to break out, he meant to perform beyond his normal level. This was not something that could be achieved just by wanting to. Sometimes being too eager for quick success would do harm.

A moment later, the second game began, and just as Yuan Shen had thought, things went wrong.

Ning Wang was anxious to perform, and he made various invasions and forced tower dives. Although he succeeded twice, the opposing jungler seemed to have figured out Ning Wang's tactics and counter-camped in advance, so Ning Wang and his teammates were killed.

Moreover, he sent the opposing top laner Kiin's Aatrox away, and then Kiin started to kill everyone. This version of Aatrox is indeed very strong. Not only is the damage extremely high, but the ultimate has a resurrection effect. If he also has a resurrection armor, he will have two resurrection opportunities in one team battle. He is really powerful.

In the end, IG was defeated by Kiin and AFS won the second game.

Yuan Shen took a look at the comments in the forum, and sure enough, there were a lot of curses:
"What is Ning Wang playing? He is a god to be able to deliver for IG."

"No bro, how can you lose this? You can't even beat AFS?"

"This Kiin seems to be quite powerful, really fierce."

"Is IG going to be eliminated in the quarterfinals?"

Soon, all the IG members came back. Ning Wang and Bao Lan were still arguing outside the door, but they became quiet after they came in, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff.

This time, Fu Manduo was too lazy to scold King Ning, and instead said, "Substitute in the next game. King Ning, you take a rest first, and I will settle the score later."

"Haha..." Baolan was secretly delighted, thinking that something good was going to happen.

Prince Ning rolled his eyes at Baolan.

Yuan Shen teased, "Prince Ning, you still need to continue practicing."

Ning Wang sighed: "Alas, the opponents are a bunch of cowards. They are really cowards. I don't know why they are so cowardly to play such a game? They are hiding in the tower and dare not leave. It's a joke."

Yuan Shen smiled: "They beat you like this on purpose because they saw that you would be anxious. You just need to be calm."

Baolan complained: "If King Ning could stop being anxious, he would not be King Ning."

Ning Wang was about to curse back, but when he saw the coach was there, he chose to make a face.

Fu Manduo greeted, "Now let's discuss how to fight the next game."

The IG team began to discuss how to play the next game.

On the other side, in the AFS lounge, everyone in AFS was also discussing tactics.

Spirit said, "Their jungler is really outrageous. I just need to counter-camp and wait for him to die. He will definitely die."

Kuro joked: "Indeed, I was laning well in the middle lane, but he came to the middle lane and went around the tower. I didn't understand it at all. Isn't he playing the same game as us?"

Kramaer said: "Let's keep winning like this, let's beat IG 3-1."

After he said this, the others just smiled. Although they were optimistic, they knew that there was still one person who had not gone up.

Suddenly, a staff member appeared at the door and said, "IG changed the lineup. Replace jungler Ning with Yuanshen."

After hearing this, the AFS, who were originally laughing, changed their expressions in an instant, and each one was more serious than the other.

Kiin said, "Here he comes. The game officially begins!"

Spriit responded: "Since he is the top, we have to adopt plan A."

"You guys watch my jungle more online. Let's take care of their jungler first. Everything else is secondary."

On the other side, at the game site, in the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller, and Jide were ready.

I just remembered the commentator saying, "Okay, audience friends, the third match between the two sides is about to begin."

"In the first two games, the two sides fought back and forth, it was very intense, the score was 3:, it's like playing a BO again from now on."

Miller continued: "Now there is another question, which I believe most fans and viewers are very concerned about, that is, whether Yuan Shen will be on the show. This question is very important."

At this moment, Wawa reminded: "Here he comes! I received news from the front, Yuan Shen is coming!"

The IG fans at the scene immediately became excited: "God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!" On the competition stage, the players from both sides began to appear!
On the IG side, Yuan Shen led the team, followed by four other IG players.

The director gave a close-up of the five people, especially Yuan Shen, a close-up of his face.

The atmosphere on the scene reached its climax. Yuan Shen hadn't started the game yet, but just showing his face was enough to cause a sensation.

The director gave a close-up of AFS, and Wawa commented: "It's not easy. It's really not easy. After the last game, I saw that everyone in AFS was very happy, but now they are not happy at all."

Miller agreed: "Indeed, I think facing a team like IG, no one can be happy, everyone will feel the pressure."

The players from both teams are in position, Yuan Shen puts on his headphones, everything is ready, and the BP for the third game begins!
In this game, IG is on the red side and AFS is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
IG: Urgot, Galio, Xayah
AFS: Sword Demon, Sword Girl, Blue Steel Shadow

Wawa commented: "IG's ban positions are relatively balanced, mainly targeting the more popular heroes in the three lanes, while AFS focuses on the mid, top and jungle."

"These three heroes can be used flexibly in IG. Shen can be used in top and jungle, Aatrox can be used in mid, top and jungle, and Irelia can be used in mid and top, highlighting their flexibility."

Enter the hero selection phase.

AFS on the blue side got Ornn on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "Kiin has very solid basic skills and a deep hero pool. He is good at both warriors and tanks. He played warriors in the last game and now he is showing off his tank skills."

IG got Sion and Kaisa on the first and second floors.

Miller commented: "Here comes Theshy's Sion. His Sion is the most special I've ever seen. Other people's Sions are used to take hits, take damage, start team fights, and control, but his Sion can be used to kill the C position alone."

AFS locked down Varus and Tam on the second and third floors.

IG got Luo on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

IG also banned Ryze and Lissandra.

AFS also banned Leblanc and Xin Zhao.

IG locked down Nightmare on the fourth floor.

Wawa exclaimed: "Here it comes! Yuan Shen's nightmare, IG's nightmare system is quite powerful, AFS has released it, this game will be worth watching."

"IG hasn't chosen a mid laner yet, I'm curious about what hero they will choose."

AFS locked down Gragas and Syndra on the fourth and fifth floors.

I remember the commentator said: "Kuro is also very tough. He directly used Syndra. This is one of Rookie's signature skills. He definitely knows how to deal with Syndra."

IG got Akali on the fifth floor!
Wawa got excited: "Here it comes! Rookie's Akali. The mid lane matchup in this game will be very intense. Akali is not a hero who will develop peacefully with the opponent. Of course, the same goes for Syndra."

"So when two heroes meet in the middle lane, the brave one wins!"

The lineups of both teams have been determined:

Red side IG: Top Sion, Jungle Nightmare, Mid Akali, ADC Kaisa, Support Rakan
Blue side AFS: Ornn on top, Gragas on jungle, Syndra on mid, Varus on ADC, Tam on support
Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen commanded: "Wait until level 6, it will be difficult to do things in the front."

"The mid and bottom lanes are stable."

Rookie responded: "No problem."

There is no pressure for him. Although Kuro got Syndra, Kuro is not the kind of mid laner with strong laning suppression ability, so he does not pose much threat when getting Syndra.

At the same time, Rookie knows Syndra very well and knows how to avoid Syndra's strength.

However, there is a bit of pressure on the bottom lane, as Kaisa’s laning ability is relatively weak.

The first wave of soldiers came out, and Yuan Shen got the blue BUFF with the help of the duo. He chose to brush from bottom to top.

In the top lane, the two tanks push each other's lines and occasionally rub against each other. It is basically impossible to get any results. It looks lively, but it is useless. At least for now, no results can be achieved.

In the middle lane, Kuro indeed started to put pressure on Rookie’s Akali from level 1.

Akali buys Doran's Shield at level 1, which maximizes her ability to withstand pressure. Plus, her Q skill is not short, so there is no problem using it to last hit.

The game time reached three and a half minutes, and Yuan Shen gave a signal to the top lane: "Be careful, jungler."

There is no need to worry about the middle lane now. Akali has the Xayah Array and the E skill, so it is almost impossible for the opposing jungler to catch her.

After clearing the first round of wild monsters, Yuan Shen returned to the city for supplies and then started the second round.

The barrel hasn't appeared yet, probably because he hasn't found the opportunity.

Wawa commented: "The pace of this game is relatively slow. The junglers on both sides did not rush to do anything, but chose to develop first. It seems that the opportunity is not good."

"From the laning situation, IG's three lanes are difficult to catch, after all, Nightmare has not yet used his ultimate. For AFS, the bottom lane is relatively easier to catch, and you can even consider crossing the tower, but you have to be careful of being counter-ganked. Yuan Shen's awareness is needless to say."

Yuan Shen left a ward in the bottom lane river and continued to clear the jungle.

Sure enough, the opposing Gragas appeared soon, and it seemed that he was preparing to cross the tower in the bottom lane.

Baolan went over to harass Gragas in advance, and put pressure on Gragas after the bottom lane soldiers entered the tower.

It seemed that the barrel felt that the nightmare might be there, so he chose to give up.

The game lasts for six minutes. The single players gradually reach level six and look for opportunities to return to the city for supplies before coming out to continue laning. Now there is a possibility of a solo kill, so both sides are more cautious.

Yuan Shen gave a signal to the middle lane: "Be careful of the opponent's jungler, he may go to the middle lane."

At this moment, Kuro's Syndra on the opposite side took the initiative to come up and control Akali with QE, followed by a W and a basic attack.

Miller explained: "Here it comes! This is a deliberate provocation. Normally, Syndra shouldn't be so close to Akali after using her E skill, or she will be counterattacked."

"But Rookie didn't fall for it. He seemed to sense the danger. Gragas was right next to him. As long as Akali came up, he would definitely be in big trouble."

Rookie held back this time. The opponent's Syndra's positioning was indeed outrageous, and Yuan Shen gave a signal that it would be better not to go up.

Eight minutes into the game, the kill ratio between the two sides was still zero to zero. At this time, Yuan Shen's nightmare had risen to level six.

Wawa commented: "IG's discipline is really strong. They didn't give Nightmare any chances before level 6. If it was Ning Wang, he would have been given at least three chances."

Jide laughed and said, "Hahaha, Prince Ning hasn't even come up yet, so let's not talk about him, otherwise he will definitely be unhappy."

At this time in the IG lounge, Ning Wang was indeed unhappy: "What are these two commentators talking about? Does it have anything to do with me? I give up."

Yuan Shen's Nightmare helped Akali get a blue BUFF, and then continued to brush it upwards. Now the opponents knew that he was level 6 and were very cautious. Any rash action would cause problems.

On the AFS side, the level 6 Gragas has already reached the bottom lane, he is here to counter-camp.

Gragas stands behind the duo, and if IG takes the initiative, he can help counterattack.

However, he stood there for a long time without any reaction!

There is no other way, Gragas can only go back to continue farming. (End of this chapter)
