Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 102 Devastated
"Indeed, we're unlikely to see the same meta shifts for champions in the LCK right now."

Seeing the four of them go home and group up to push the middle lane, and how Brother Li was left with less than half his health after being touched by Obama, Wawa said with lingering fear.

"Miller, have you noticed that the LCK's strategy is completely ineffective in the current version? Once the early and mid-game goes awry, it's too difficult to manage and drag the game into the late game."

Seeing the outer turrets on the top and mid lanes being taken down, and the entire LPL team using Rift Herald, Wawa tried to come up with a way to describe the current situation, but found that he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

"In the current version, it seems to really value the individual skill of the players. With heroes that can exert pressure in the early game, once you fall behind, there's no way to counter a four-man gank on the second lane."

"Especially Faker's Azir and Varus, those two heroes are too squishy and too easy to target."

Miller shrugged, indicating that there was no way to change the situation.

"This LCK team seems too weak; they're not even as good as the ones we were matched with in flex queue before."

At 15 minutes, as the Rift Herald completely destroyed the top lane, Leg957 said boredly into his headset.

"Xi Ye, Xi Ye, why aren't you saying anything? You seem quite happy."

Although Xiye cooperated with Clearlove to gank the bottom lane and set up the pace of the game.

But in the time that followed, he was merely a tool, threatening Verus and the Tsar from the sidelines.

At this moment, he still hadn't realized why LCK could be so utterly crushed.

"I wonder how my brother-in-law will feel when he sees this!"

With three lanes, including the jungler playing by the factory manager, they have a significant advantage.

This is something we wouldn't even dare to imagine if it happened within WE. Before, our opponents were all from wildcard regions, so we didn't really have any experience with this.

Xi Ye only realized this when facing the LCK's "galactic battleship" again.

The true fighting dynasty of LPL may be on the horizon!

This version's operation can only be icing on the cake; it can't provide any real help in times of need.

With strong individual skills, once you fall into a disadvantageous position, the entire game will be played passively.

"Just as Piao Laoshi said at the beginning, LCK probably really won't last 20 minutes."

Watching the LPL team push the mid-lane high ground again at 18 minutes, and after Xiye sent Varus back with a spinning kick, Wawa smiled bitterly.

"Is this still the LPL that was dominated by Korean teams for several years? I feel like the LCK is completely powerless to fight back now."

"Yes, right now the entire LPL team is fully engaged. As long as the mid and top lanes hold their own and the bot lane opens up the game and gets things going, the LCK has no one to step up and is completely on the defensive."

Miller said excitedly.

"However, in this position, the withered Gnar needs to flank. Now that he has 90 rage, he can transform. Let's see if he can coordinate with Faker's Azir to pull off a perfect team fight."

The push was too fast, and the LPL players didn't try to gain vision. At this moment, the withered Gnar walked in the blind spot, his anger building up, looking like he was going to make a final stand.

"No view, this is going to be a disaster if they get caught on camera."

"Damn it, Faker was positioned perfectly on the flank, drawing all of LPL's firepower away from Ambition's Sejuani."

While the doll was still giving a passionate commentary, the withered one, who was waiting in the back, couldn't hold back any longer and jumped out, shoving the crowd standing on the high ground with a big slap.

Lee's Tsar also unleashed a smooth combo, heading straight for everyone's faces.

QAAEAAWAA.

The next second, Faker, still in the air, watched helplessly as he was instantly killed by Oma, who had used Mercury's Treads to remove crowd control effects. He didn't even have time to use his ultimate skill before collapsing to the ground.

Awkwardly, Gnar stunned four people, but the combined damage from his ultimate and Sejuani's ultimate was still pitiful. It's going to be a one-shot kill!

With the LCK base exploding, all the players who were following the All-Star event suddenly realized that the landscape of League of Legends might be about to change!
The Korean team's dominance was over; they were wiped out by the LPL All-Stars in just 20 minutes.

As the image of the crystal exploding froze, all the international students in the audience stood up, each shouting out the ID of their favorite professional player.

"Congratulations to LPL! They've won the first game of the 2017 S7 All-Star Finals, a best-of-five series!"

"Wow, this match was absolutely thrilling! The LCK players were completely outmatched in the first game. If Kkoma doesn't have a good strategy, I think the second game will likely follow the same pattern."

"This is no longer a tactical difference; it's entirely a situation caused by the difference in individual player skill and understanding of the game version. It's terrifying! That's what control is all about!"

The damage statistics after the match were also released, and O'Bama undoubtedly won the MVP of the first game with 53% of the team's total damage output.

The commentators and fans watching the game from various regions were also stunned by LPL's unreasonable playstyle.

"Playing like this, it seems like LCK won't be able to put up much of a fight in the next game."

"We're too strong!"

After holding it in for a long time, Xi Ye finally summarized his performance in the previous game.

The overwhelming victory in the first set not only boosted morale but also shattered the image of LCK as a formidable force that had been ingrained in the minds of many for several seasons.

Even Faker seems to have been left behind by the times, still living in the old farming meta.

It seems that LCK has really fallen behind after this version update. Whether it's understanding of the version, teamwork, or strength, they have been completely crushed by LPL.

After finishing the match, the factory manager didn't say anything, but the burning fighting spirit in his eyes was evident.

He will probably continue to play in the next season, S8.

This is the pursuit of the older generation of LPL professional players, and it is what they have been waiting for!
The LPL version might really be coming soon!
The finals were a best-of-five series with five games, but LCK, which had been dominated by LPL, seemed unable to react. After losing the first game, Kkoma had no way to counter this tactic.

The second game followed the same storyline and rhythm.

However, Xiye got another annoying early-game hero, the Evil Little Mage.

Compared to heroes like Lee Sin who have high burst damage in the early game, Veigar's crowd control makes it much easier for a 4v2 gank. He can simply use his large circle to trap the enemy and trap them. LCK has never faced this kind of 4v2 gank before.

About 20 minutes later, LPL, with a significant advantage, stole Baron Nashor.

LCK, still stuck in a slow pace, relying on setting up defenses and warding, had no chance to fight back. In one team fight, they were easily traded 1 for 4.

2 to 0.
At this moment, everyone, including the Korean supporters lurking in the LPL fan community, had to admit it.

grown ups!

Times have changed!

Inside the Zhengda Plaza in Shanghai, all the fans were as excited as if it were Chinese New Year.

They had no weaknesses or shortcomings, and everyone was fully engaged. However, the attention suddenly increased in the third game.

The blind selection of blind spots is the highlight of this All-Star game.

The forums in South Korea were also in an uproar. The previous dominance of the Korean team in S7 had ended, and they could still escape and numb themselves, deceiving themselves that it was just a temporary mistake.

But now, the bloody wound has been torn open again and exposed to everyone's eyes.

Amidst the anticipation of everyone, the third match officially began!
Upon seeing that Colonel Guan and Yu Shuang broke up, the author immediately updated two chapters. A few words of regret (and sympathy): many people said they didn't like watching All-Star, so All-Star will end tomorrow!
