Yuan Shen took out his phone and took a look. Everyone on the Internet was discussing this BO5.
"Mr. Dai and Uzi met again? I hope Uzi won't be beaten and cry again this time."

"Haha, the pilot was able to win before, wasn't it because Fei Kai kept helping the bottom lane, otherwise how could he win?"

"It's as if the KT teammates are worse than EDG. The current KT is much stronger than the previous EDG."

"I personally feel that RNG still can't win."

Now more people are optimistic about KT, of course RNG fans are not convinced and want to argue.

Yuan Shen was watching the news online when suddenly, a message came from the group.

RNG, Ming: "Brothers, let's go!"

EDG, Clearlove8: "Look at Uzi, let him give away less."

RNG, UZI: "Mingkai, that's enough. Are you annoying?"

EDG, Meiko: "Come on, RNG. Come on, Xiao Ming."

Players from both teams appear on the screen and the first game is about to begin.

After the players from both sides are in place, they enter the BP stage of the first game.

Ning Wang muttered: "When Letme and Smeb stand together, the difference between them is immediately apparent. They are not at the same level at all."

Baolan agreed: "Smeb has the aura of a strong man."

Yuan Shen asked: "Is there any? Then see if Theshy has it?"

Baolan nodded: "Yes, there must be."

Prince Ning said: "Flatterer."

So the two started arguing again.

The BP of the first game is over and the game screen begins.

The laning phase was very tense in the early stages, with both sides' bottom lanes fully loaded and the battle on the line very intense. The jungler and mid laner also paid more attention to the bottom lane.

In contrast, RNG used more resources and took the lead in the bottom lane.

Ning Wang commented: "RNG is using the human wave tactic and just killed IG's bottom lane."

Soon, the situation changed. Although RNG had an advantage in the bottom lane, KT's mid and top laners stood out in the team battle and operated like crazy!

In the end, UZI was outnumbered and KT won the first game.

Rookie commented: "RNG is still too dependent on Uzi."

Smlz nodded: "Well, the key is that this version is not a version where the bottom lane can fight five alone. If only the bottom lane can carry, it will be difficult to win against the opponent who can carry all three lanes."

After the first game, EDG started to taunt in the group.

EDG, Clearlove8: "Hahaha, is this the full strength of Uzi? That's a bit lame, Uzi."

RNG, UZI: "If you can do it, go ahead and beat KT for me."

EDG, Clearlove8: "Don't worry, we will play when the time comes."

Soon, the second game began. This time, KT was more unrestrained. They directly used Irelia in the top lane and stunned Letme.

When entering the team-up stage, the fat Irelia was like a god of war, killing people indiscriminately, and UZI had no chance to output.

Ning Wang looked at Rookie and said, "Old Song, what's the level of this Irelia? Can she beat you?"

Rookie responded: "This Irelia is quite skilled, but I haven't played against her, so I don't know."

Prince Ning smiled and said, "You don't want to say it, right? If you take a look at me, you will know whether I am as good as you or not."

Rookie smiled and said nothing.

After the second game, the EDG players did not choose to continue taunting. Jokes aside, RNG was going to be swept anyway, so there was no need to take things too far.

A moment later, the third game began. Players from both teams came on the court again, and it was obvious that the mood of the RNG players was not right.

It seemed like they were depressed due to being beaten. Entering the third game, KT's lineup was still very unrestrained, and they directly picked Fiora in the top lane.

Letme was sweating profusely and chose Ornn to deal with the situation. It was obvious that he wanted to withstand the pressure in the lane and fight in a team.

In this game, UZI played very well in the bottom lane and gained a considerable advantage.

Entering the group-building stage, RNG is invincible.

However, KT started to play solo, and Smeb's Fiora could even ignore Letme's presence and destroy the tower in front of him.

Yuan Shen commented: "If the gap in the top lane is this big, then it's basically impossible to play, and the other members of KT are also very strong and it's not that easy to deal with them."

Just as Yuan Shen said, the opponent's one person advanced faster than RNG's four people.

This caused RNG to fall into a completely passive situation. The high ground on both the top and bottom lanes were pushed down by Fiora, and the super soldiers on both lanes made RNG's Immortal completely passive.

In the end, KT took down the Baron and split the push between the four and one players, with four players in the top lane and Fiora in the bottom lane. They only needed to hold the enemy line and let Fiora go after him.

In the end, RNG pushed through the bottom lane with Fiora and ended the game in one wave.

Ning Wang commented: "Not so good RNG, they were swept 3-0. I thought they could at least win one game."

Baolan said: "KT is very strong, we have to be careful."

Fumanduo echoed, "KT has indeed shown great strength. We will face KT later, so we need to be fully prepared."

"Now that the game is over, you can say whatever you want to say and we can discuss it together."

Yuan Shen said: "This is a mid-top-jungle version. If the mid-top is not strong in laning, it is easy to be led by the opponent. It is very uncomfortable if no one can carry the team alone."

Rookie agreed: "Top and jungle are so important in this meta. We should be able to compete with KT. The other teams feel a little bit behind."

Fu Manduo nodded: "Okay, I understand what you mean. Let's start preparing now and continue to review G2's games. KT may enter the finals based on the current situation, but we are not in a hurry. Let's finish beating G2 first."

The IG team reviewed the game until the early morning, focusing on G2's BP and their GANK ideas.

The next day, the match between FNC and EDG began!

Because it has nothing to do with IG, the IG members did not choose to watch it together.

I originally thought EDG would win, but an embarrassing thing happened. FNC defeated EDG 3 to 1!

Although the 3-1 record looks better than yesterday's RNG being swept 3-0.

However, the key point is that KT is much stronger than FNC, so the situations of RNG and EDG are similar.

Ning Wang suddenly said: "Ah? Are we the only team left now? IG is the only one left in the LPL region?"

Yuan Shen smiled: "What else do you think? Do you still want help?"

Baolan said: "This time, two teams from the LEC region made it to the semi-finals. Has this happened before?"

Fu Manduo said, "Don't worry about that for now. Our next opponent is G2. Let's finish beating G2 first."

So everyone in IG continued to engage in hard training.

Yuan Shen took out his phone and took a look at the public opinion online. Sure enough, the public opinion had exploded:
"Is LPL so weak this year? Only one player left?"

"Hahaha, EDG and RNG are just garbage. I thought they were so awesome."

"As expected, he is an expert in civil wars but a novice in foreign wars."

"EDG still can't get past the quarterfinals. It makes me laugh to death."

"It's great that EDG can lose to the European and American guys."

"Why do I suddenly feel that IG is not very stable? I hope IG won't have any problems."

Now IG is also under suspicion. There is no way around it. The level of the entire LPL region is under suspicion, and IG is naturally no exception.

A few days passed quickly and the semi-finals began! First up was IG vs. G2!

The IG team had lunch at noon and took a short rest. Fu Manduo said, "It's almost time, let's go."

So the IG members took their belongings, set out from the hotel, and headed straight to the competition venue.

The car entered the parking lot of the competition venue, and after it stopped, the IG members got out of the car.

Fu Manduo said, "Take all your things with you, don't forget."

As soon as Yuan Shen got off, he noticed that there was a bus not far away with the G2 team logo on the body.

The G2 team was getting off the car and walking towards the stadium together, so the two teams met.

The coaches on both sides were quite enthusiastic and greeted each other.

Perkz came over and found Yuan Shen:
"Yuan Shen, I am your fan Yuan Shen."

"Hello, Perkz."

The two men shook hands, and at this moment, Hjarnan also came over to find Yuan Shen, and the others followed.

Yuan Shen became the focus of the whole audience, which he did not expect.

The two teams walked side by side through the corridor, then parted ways and entered their respective lounges.

After entering the lounge, Yuan Shen put down his bag, then lay down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone and started watching the music online.

"If IG loses today, I won't watch the rest of the games."

"Hahaha, LPL's defense is broken. LPL is going to break a big defense today!"

"Why don't you pretend anymore? Didn't you say you wanted to win the championship?"

"Han Za Shut Up, IG Hasn't Lost Yet, Why Are You Barking Like Dogs?"

Now LCK fans are very enthusiastic and have surpassed LPL fans.

There is no way. The performance of EDG and RNG is too outrageous and has already dragged down IG.

At the competition venue, in the audience seats, the game had not yet started, but the seats were already packed, with fans from both sides cheering for the teams they supported.

In the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller, remember the three of them are ready.

Wawa explained: "Hello, audience friends, the semi-finals of this S game are about to begin, with IG from the LPL region facing G2 from the LEC region."

"Both teams are in pretty good shape right now. IG beat AFS 2-9 in the quarterfinals, and G beat C - in the quarterfinals. Both teams are in a very strong position to enter the semifinals, and the future is promising."

Jide agreed: "Indeed, at the same time, I would like to remind you that because EDG and RNG lost consecutively in the quarterfinals, IG is now the only team in our LPL region. I hope everyone can cheer for them."

The audience suddenly became excited because the host came on stage!

The host came on stage and, after a brief opening speech, welcomed the contestants from both sides:

"Now, let us welcome the IG team from the LPL region!"

The five starting players of IG appeared on the stage, and the IG fans at the scene cheered in unison: "IG! IG! IG!"

"Let's welcome G2 from LEC!"

The five members of G2 came on stage, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax again!
"G2! G2!"

Yuan Shen noticed that G's popularity was very high this time, and among those who cheered for G2, there should be other elements besides G2's fans.

They may not like G2, but just because G2 is on the opposite side of IG, they choose to support G2.

There is no way, IG has won too many championships and made too many enemies.

The two players faced each other in the middle of the stage, with Yuan Shen facing jungler Jankos.

The two sides shook hands and then turned and walked towards their respective seats.

Yuan Shen sat in his seat, put on his headphones, and was ready.

The first round of BP has begun!

In this game, IG is on the red side and G2 is on the blue side.

BAN position situation

IG: Xia, Urgot, Ornn

G2: Irelia, Syndra, Aatrox
Wawa commented: "G2 mainly targeted IG's mid and top players. I think this is understandable. IG's mid and top players are too strong. If they don't restrict them, it will be difficult for G2 to hold on."

Miller agreed: "That's right. On the other hand, IG is targeting the top laner and ADC. It seems that they don't want Wunder to be a slacker in the top lane. They want to force him to choose to compete in the lane. I don't know if it will succeed."

Entering the hero selection phase, G2 on the blue side got the Barrel on the first floor.

Wawa commented: "Right now, Gragas is the top jungler with the highest appearance rate. Basically, he will be snatched up whenever he is released. There is no problem with G2's choice."

IG got Shen and Kai'Sa on the first and second floors.

I remember the commentator said: "Here it comes. IG's Shen can play in the top lane and the jungle, so it's hard to say which position it is. It can be adjusted according to the situation."

"And since Kaisa is out, he must be chosen. Although he is a little uncomfortable in the laning phase, as long as he can delay the development, Kaisa is still very useful. Otherwise, he will not be T0 in the ADC position."

Miller agreed, "Indeed. Another point is that this version focuses on the mid, top and jungle, with the bottom lane being the main focus, so Kaisa's laning pressure won't be that great."

"Of course, if G2 insists on targeting the bottom lane, that's another matter."

G2 got Ornn and Varus on the second and third floors.

Miller analyzed: "Ornn is relatively strong in laning and can withstand pressure, and he is definitely useful in teamfights, so it's okay to choose him like this."

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

IG also banned Galio and Syndra.

G2 added BA Lissandra and Ryze.

IG locked Akali on the fourth floor.

Wawa commented: "Is it Akali? Rookie was very aggressive in this game, and he directly brought out the assassin first. It depends on how G2 responds. Perkz is also a strong mid laner."

"The revised Akali is much stronger, with more room for maneuver, and naturally requires more from the players, but I think with Rookie's ability, there will be no problem."

G2 got Leblanc and Alistar on the fourth and fifth floors.

The entire audience was a little excited.

Wawa commented: "Here it comes, Perkz's Leblanc. I know his Leblanc is his signature hero, but it's hard to say when he chooses it like this in front of Rookie. You know, Leblanc is also Rookie's signature hero."

The director gave a close-up of Perkz and Rookie's expressions. Both of them looked very confident and felt they could win.

At this moment, IG got Lucian on the fifth floor!

The commentator was stunned, as if he didn't understand.

Miller muttered, "What does Lucian mean? Could it be a route jungler?"

At this time, the live broadcast room began to make fun of it:

"Isn't this Royal's strategy? Lucian in the jungle."

"Hahaha, are you still lashing out at Uzi? Uzi has already gone home."

"You're almost there, Uzi didn't provoke you."

"IG is crazy, how can they beat this lineup?"

The director gave a close-up of the players from both teams. Now everyone in G2 was in a state of confusion, not knowing what was going on. (End of this chapter)
