Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

RNG’s next opponent is another veteran powerhouse in LPL - EDG!

EDG is known for its rigorous operations and flawless teamfights, and is known as the "Phantom God of Civil War". Their core players, whether it is the mid laner Scout or the ADC Viper, are world-class players. The top laner Flandre is experienced and has a deep hero pool. The jungler Jiejie has a strong ability to drive the rhythm.

This game is undoubtedly a tough battle for RNG.

Coach Heart and the analyst team studied EDG's game videos overnight to analyze their tactical characteristics and player habits.

"The most terrifying thing about EDG is their lack of discipline," Heart said in a serious tone during the tactical meeting. "They rarely make low-level mistakes, and once they seize the opportunity and snowball, it will be difficult to turn the tables."

"They have very strong operational capabilities, especially in controlling map resources. Therefore, we must be more proactive in the early stages and not let them get into their own rhythm comfortably."

"In the top lane, although Saint Spear's mechanics may not be as top-notch as some young players, he has very good experience and awareness, and a deep hero pool. Lin Feng, you must be prepared to deal with all kinds of heroes."

Lin Feng listened carefully and kept every word of the coach in mind. He knew that against an opponent like EDG, any negligence could lead to failure.

The atmosphere in the training room was more tense than ever. The players were going all out in Rank and training matches, simulating various situations against EDG.

Lin Feng even locked himself in a custom room, constantly practicing various heroes that might match up against Saint Spear. Not only did he have to master the operation of these heroes, but he also had to think about how to gain an advantage in the laning phase and how to play the biggest role in team battles.

He and Yu Shuang also contacted each other more frequently. Yu Shuang knew that he was under great pressure to prepare for the game, so she often sent him some words of encouragement and concern, and sometimes shared some interesting anecdotes and analysis about EDG that she learned. Although it might not be directly helpful for the game, it made Lin Feng feel warm and supported.

"EDG's Viper is in great form recently. His Aphelios and Kaisa are both very carry. You guys should be careful in the bottom lane."

"Scout has a deep hero pool and is very good at roaming support. Xiaohu should pay attention to the movements in the middle lane."

"He looks careless, but he's actually very thoughtful. You must never let your guard down when you're on the line."

Lin Feng felt warm in his heart when he saw the "information" sent by Yu Shuang. He knew that Yu Shuang was not only his girlfriend, but also his strongest supporter.

Game day is coming soon.

The continuation of the "pig-dog war" between RNG and EDG attracted the attention of countless LPL viewers. The venue was packed, and the popularity of the online live broadcast room also exceeded 10 million early.

On the commentary stand, it is still the combination of Wawa, Miller and the new beautiful commentator Xiaomo.

"Good evening, viewers! Welcome to watch today's LPL focus battle, RNG vs. EDG!" Wawa's voice was full of passion.

"Yes, every collision between these two teams will create fierce sparks! RNG is currently unstoppable, and EDG has also demonstrated the powerful strength of the defending champion. Today's game is definitely a fight between dragons and tigers!" Miller is also full of expectations for the upcoming game.

Xiao Mo also added: "I am looking forward to what kind of sparks Lin Feng and Flandre will collide in the top lane today. Both of them are very experienced top laners, and their matchup will definitely be very exciting!"

The two teams entered the arena, and the scene erupted in thunderous cheers. Raymond Lam walked in the middle of the team, his expression calm, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented focus and sharpness.

He knew that today's game would be a tough battle!

This was a Bo5 match, and the atmosphere before the match was already extremely tense. The lights in the stadium were bright, and the seats were full. Countless pairs of eyes were focused on the two teams that were about to take the stage. The air was filled with tension and anticipation, like the calm before the big battle. RNG fans waved red cheering sticks and shouted "RNG, go!"; EDG fans wore silver and black uniforms and shouted in unison "EDG, EDG!" The sound waves rose and fell, deafening.

In the commentary booth, Wawa, Miller and Xiaomo also felt the heavy pressure.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the highlight of the LPL Spring Regular Season, the Bo5 match between RNG and EDG! I am Wawa!"

"I'm Miller! The importance of this match is self-evident. It's not just about the ranking points, it's also a battle of honor, a clash of new and old forces!"

"I'm Xiao Mo! Both teams have extremely high popularity and strong strength. I believe they will bring us a wonderful game feast today!"

Following the referee's signal, both players entered the BP interface, with RNG's ban being the first to take place.

Miller: "RNG banned Centaur, a very strong hero in this version that EDG jungler Jiejie is very good at, Syndra, one of the signature heroes of mid laner Scout, and Alistar, a powerful team-opening weapon of support Meiko. These three bans can be said to be very regular and targeted."

Wawa: "Yes, Centaur's ganking ability and teamfight impact are too strong, Syndra is Scout's specialty, and Alistar's initiation is also a rhythm point that EDG relies on very much."

It's EDG's turn to ban.

Xiao Mo: "EDG banned Lin Feng's Jayce and Riven, who have been in great form recently, as well as jungler Karsa's signature hero Olaf. It's clear that EDG is still very wary of Lin Feng's carry ability, so they banned his two highly offensive heroes, while also limiting Karsa's ability to invade the jungle."

Miller: "Very smart BP! Once Lin Feng's Jayce and Riven get the advantage, their snowballing ability is terrifying. Olaf, combined with Lin Feng's offensive top lane, is also a common top-jungle combination for RNG."

Wawa: "RNG is on the blue side, what will they grab? Will they give Lin Feng a counter position, or will they help Uzi grab the strong ADC in the version first?"

On the screen, RNG locked in the current version's T0 ADC on the first floor in seconds - Aphelios!

Miller: "Aphelios! RNG chose to take this core ADC for Uzi first! Aphelios's late-game output ability is unquestionable, but he is relatively weak in the early laning phase and needs the protection of his teammates."

Xiaomo: "On EDG's side, they saw RNG pick Aphelios, so they locked in Jinx and Thresh! Jinx is also a late-game core, and has a stronger harvesting ability. Thresh can cooperate well with Jinx to suppress the lane and initiate the teamfight."

Wawa: "EDG's bottom lane combination is very solid! Jinx and Thresh, laning strength and late-game ability are both excellent."

Miller: "RNG saw EDG pick Jinx and Thresh, so they counterattacked and locked in Tahm Kench, the River Lord, for Ming! Tahm Kench can protect Aphelios well and prevent Thresh from taking the first move. At the same time, they got the strong jungler of the version - Viego, the Ruined King, for Karsa!"

Xiao Mo: "With Tamgar and Aphelios, the survivability of RNG's bottom lane combination is greatly guaranteed. The hero Viego has a lot of room to play, whether it's ganking or harvesting in team battles." EDG's third floor choice.

Wawa: "EDG, they locked Lee Sin for Jiejie! Lee Sin! Lee Sin is a hero with a strong ability to drive the tempo, and can work well with Thresh for roaming ganks."

Miller: "EDG's lineup is very aggressive in the early and mid-game! Lee Sin plus Thresh can easily open up the situation in the early game."

RNG banned Leblanc, another signature hero of EDG mid laner Scout, and Gwen, who had been used to good effect recently by top laner Flandre.

EDG banned RNG mid laner Xiaohu's signature hero Clockwork, as well as a swing hero - Yongen.

EDG fourth floor choice.

Xiao Mo: "EDG has locked up Azir, the Emperor of the Desert, for Scout! Azir is a very stable hero with a stable laning phase and explosive damage in late-game teamfights. He is a very solid choice."

Wawa: "After Tsar develops, with Jinx, EDG's double C output ability in the late game is terrifying!"

RNG fourth floor selection.

Miller: "RNG got Twisted Fate for Xiaohu! Twisted Fate is a hero with strong support ability. He can cooperate well with Viego in roaming, and he can also create development space for Aphelios."

Xiao Mo: "When Card fights against Tsar, there may be some pressure in the laning phase, but Card's support ability is unmatched by Tsar."

EDG’s fifth floor choice is also the counter position for the top unit.

Wawa: "Which hero will Saint Spear choose to deal with Lin Feng? Will he choose a tank hero to ensure the team's tankiness, or a warrior hero to fight Lin Feng head-on?"

On the screen, EDG’s fifth floor revealed a hero that surprised the entire audience—Heart of Fury, Kennen!

Miller: "Kennen! Saint Spear chose Kennen as the top laner! Kennen has the advantage of long arms in the laning phase, and his ultimate in the late-stage teamfights is even more devastating! This is a choice that is very targeted at the RNG lineup. RNG lacks a stable first move to start a teamfight, and Kennen's ultimate can effectively limit RNG's output space."

RNG fifth floor choice, Lin Feng’s hero!

Xiao Mo: "Now the pressure is on Lin Feng! Kennen is a very flexible hero in the laning phase, and has both control and burst. Which hero will Lin Feng choose to deal with it?"

After a brief thought, RNG locked in a hero on the fifth floor who was equally flexible and had the ability to solo-carry - the Guardian of the Future, Jayce!

Wawa: "Jayce! Brother Fengzi picked Jayce again! Although Jayce was banned by EDG once, it is clear that RNG thinks Jayce is the best choice to deal with Kennen! Jayce vs. Kennen, both are heroes with long arms, it depends on who can poke more accurately and who can handle details better!"

Miller: "This was a very exciting BP game! Both coaches showed their best skills, and each lineup had its own strengths. On the RNG side, Twisted Fate's mid-jungle synergy matched with Jayce's Poke and Aphelios' late-game damage. On the EDG side, Lee Sin's Thresh's early-game rhythm matched with Tsar Jinx's late-game double C, as well as Kennen's teamfight ultimate. This game will definitely be very intense!"

enter the game!

Lin Feng's Jayce chose Phase Rush as his talent, and his starting equipment is still Doran's Blade and a red shield. Saint Gun's Kennen chose Doran's Ring.

The lines of troops intersected. Lin Feng's Jayce didn't play aggressively at level 1 as usual, but steadily last-hit every time, and used the basic attack of the cannon form and the Q skill "Electric Shock" to tentatively consume Kennen. Saint Gun's Kennen was also very cautious, using the acceleration effect of the Q skill "Ultimate! Thunder Armor" to move flexibly, avoiding Jayce's Poke, and using the passive effect of the W skill "Ultimate! Electric Blade" to last-hit and counter-consume.

"Both teams' top laners played very carefully. After all, it was the first game of a Bo5 and no one wanted to make a mistake first," said Wawa.

"Yes, Jayce and Kennen are both heroes that rely heavily on details, and a small mistake may be seized by the opponent," Miller added.

However, this calm was only temporary. After reaching level 3, Lin Feng began to show his strong ability to suppress opponents.

Once, Saint Gun's Kennen stepped forward to kill a cannon soldier, and Lin Feng seized the opportunity and fired a precise QE combo of "Electric Shock" at Kennen in cannon form, instantly knocking off nearly one-third of Kennen's health!
"Beautiful! Brother Fengzi's QE combo is so accurate! Brother Shengqiang is a little hurt!" Xiao Mo exclaimed.

Saint Spear immediately activated his E skill "Ultimate! Thunder Armor" to speed up his retreat, but Lin Feng's Jayce switched to hammer form and followed up with his Q skill "Sky Leap", performing a phase dash and hammering Kennen hard! Saint Spear was forced to give up his flash to escape.

"Brother Fengzi played too fiercely! In this exchange, Brother Shengqiang suffered a heavy loss!" Miller praised, "Although he didn't kill the opponent, he forced Kennen to flash, and Lin Feng gained absolute initiative in the lane."

With the advantage of this blood exchange, Lin Feng began to suppress Kennen recklessly. He constantly used Jayce's long reach to consume Kennen's health, while controlling the line of soldiers, keeping them firmly in front of his tower, not giving Jiejie's Lee Sin a chance to gank. Saint Gun's Kennen could only last hit under the tower, and his experience and economy were greatly affected.

6 minutes into the game, the first little dragon (wind dragon) spawns.

Karsa's Viego was active in the bottom half of the map, and Jiejie's Lee Sin also smelled an opportunity.

"Both junglers are moving towards the bottom lane, and this little dragon might lead to a team fight!" Wawa said.

With Tam's protection, the RNG bottom lane duo played more proactively and pushed the troops to the EDG tower. Xiaohu's Card also began to move towards the dragon pit.

On the EDG side, Scout's Tsar cleared the line very quickly and began to support the dragon pit.

Karsa's Foye Gos took the lead in attacking the little dragon, while Jiejie's Lee Sin hovered above the dragon pit, looking for an opportunity to steal the dragon.

At the moment when the little dragon's health was about to hit the bottom, Jiejie's Lee Sin used a precise Q skill "Sound Wave" to hit Viego, and used the second stage of Q "Echo Shot" to follow up with punishment, trying to steal the dragon!
"Jiejie wants to steal the dragon! Karsa's punishment!"

"Bang!" Viego successfully punished the little dragon!

"Got it! Karsa saved the little dragon!" Miller shouted excitedly. (End of this chapter)
