Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Miller: "Gwen! WBG's last ban is for Gwen! They've banned almost all of Lin Feng's potential carry-type top laners, including warriors and mages! Now Lin Feng has very, very few options left!"

Second round Pick
WBG: Azir (Tsar)

Wawa: "Azir! WBG's mid laner has locked in Azir! Azir is one of the best choices against Viktor! Both are late-game carries and core units in team fights! WBG is going to go all out against RNG in the late game this time!"

RNG picked Aphelios and Thresh.

Rita: "RNG's bot lane duo is confirmed! Aphelios and Thresh! Uzi has picked one of his most confident champions! Paired with Ming's Thresh, they have a good balance of offense and defense. This bot lane duo has a very high ceiling!"

WBG picked Sejuani.

The entire audience erupted in uproar! Even the commentators were stunned!

Miller's voice was filled with disbelief: "Sejuani...top lane! TheShy...locked in Sejuani! He gave up his individual carry and chose a pure team tank! Is this...is this the TheShy we know?"

Wawa: "I understand! WBG's tactics have completely changed! They've abandoned the top lane as their core and are now betting everything on Azir and Varus, their two carries! TheShy's Sejuani is there to create opportunities for their carries to deal damage! They're going to use RNG's signature 'four-protect-one' strategy to defeat RNG!"

RNG Pick 5:???
The final suspense was left to Lin Feng.

After WBG unexpectedly picked Sejuani, the counter pick left for Lin Feng is full of possibilities. Will he choose another front-line tank and farm peacefully with TheShy? Or will he choose a heavy-armored fighter?
Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, the hero icons on the fifth floor of RNG's stadium flashed rapidly.

In the end, a hero that sent chills down everyone's spine was locked on!

The unparalleled swordswoman, Fiona!

"Fiora!!!!!" Miller practically jumped out of his chair, shouting hoarsely, "RNG picked Fiora for Lin Feng in the last pick! TheShy's Fiora was banned, but Lin Feng's Fiora is still there! Using the sharpest spear to pierce the strongest shield! This is the most classic duel in LPL!"

The atmosphere at the scene exploded the moment Fiora was locked on!

Coach Heart was backstage, looking at the lineup on the big screen, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Damo, do you think you can beat me by giving up offense and choosing the team?

I will use your most prized weapon to end you with my own hands!

"Let's get into the game!"

With Wawa's final, impassioned shout, the match point game of this BO5 series, in this ultimate showdown between offense and defense, officially began!

Welcome to Summoner's Rift!

As the rousing female voice of the system rang out, this crucial match that would determine the game's outcome officially began. All eyes instinctively focused on the top lane, on the ultimate showdown between spear and shield.

However, the tension was first ignited in the lower jungle!

"WBG is invading! The five of them grouped up and charged straight into RNG's red buff jungle!" Miller's voice rose instantly. On the map, five icons representing WBG, like a well-trained army, were flanking them in a fan shape.

WBG's strategy was shrewd. They knew RNG's lineup was strong in the late game, so they needed to create significant disruption in the early game. Their target was Karsa's Wukong. If they could disrupt Karsa's jungle clearing rhythm, or even force him to use Flash, then RNG's Lin Feng in the top lane would be wary of Vi's ganks and wouldn't dare to push too aggressively.

This was an order given by Coach Damo after the draft phase – to use the most aggressive offense to cover TheShy's development!
In RNG's rest room, Coach Heart's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene. But he didn't panic, because all of this was within his expectations.

"Don't panic, follow Plan B." Heart's calm voice came through the microphone to the team members.

Just as WBG's five players ventured deep into RNG's jungle, RNG's players had already disappeared from their lanes. Instead of engaging in a direct confrontation, they also grouped up as a five-man team and silently circled around to WBG's empty upper jungle.

"Swapping the jungle! RNG's decision was very calm! They gave up their red buff area and chose to exchange resources!" Wawa exclaimed.

Both junglers cleared each other's first buff. But WBG was clearly not satisfied with that. After placing an offensive ward in RNG's jungle, Kael's Vi, along with the mid and support, immediately ganked Karsa, who was taking the blue buff.

"Kael is going to initiate a level 2 team fight! WBG is playing too aggressively today!"

However, when they arrived, Blue Buff's camp was empty, and Karsa's monkeys had vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Lin Feng's voice could be clearly heard in RNG's team voice chat: "He has no mana, TheShy doesn't dare to push, I can control the lane."

A seemingly complex game of strategy ultimately ended in a peaceful exchange. However, the mentality of both teams underwent a subtle shift.

WBG's players displayed great momentum, confident that as long as they persisted in their aggressive attacks, they would find opportunities. RNG, on the other hand, became even more determined to play a steady and methodical approach. They recognized their opponents' impatience and prepared to use their calmest minds to deal with the most ferocious beast.

When the camera finally focused steadily on the road ahead, all the viewers held their breath.

Lin Feng's Fiora was elegantly controlling the minion wave. He only last-hit the last minion, firmly controlling the wave near his own tower—an absolutely safe position, yet extremely difficult for the opponent to maintain.

TheShy's Sejuani stood awkwardly at a distance. He dared not approach, knowing that if he entered the range of Fiora's Q skill "Rupture," Lin-Feng would definitely poke him without hesitation. Sejuani, in the early game, has absolutely no ability to trade blows.

"Is this the lane dominance of a top-tier Fiora?" Rita murmured in amazement. "He doesn't even need to fight; just standing there puts immense pressure on TheShy. Every CS TheShy misses translates into an invisible economic lead for Lin Feng."

TheShy was in a state of anxiety. He was used to dominating others, but now he had to passively take hits like a punching bag, which made him feel extremely frustrated. He tried to use his W skill "Winter's Wrath" to clear ranged minions, but Lin Feng seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.

Just as TheShy raised his hand to cast W, Lin Feng's Fiora moved!

A fluid Q skill, "Sky Slash," precisely struck the opening that appeared in front of Sejuani!

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound and an acceleration effect, Lin Feng unleashed a sword strike and immediately retreated, the entire process taking less than a second. TheShy's W skill missed, wasting mana and losing nearly a fifth of his health in the process.

"Beautiful! That's the detail!" Miller exclaimed excitedly. "Lin Feng caught Sejuani's skill animation for a fraction of a second and executed a perfect, damage-free trade! TheShy is in a very difficult situation now; his mana is almost depleted!"

TheShy glanced at his mana bar, then at Lin Feng's almost full health. He knew he couldn't continue like this. He had to go back to base to replenish his supplies.

However, will Lin Feng give him this opportunity?

The answer is, no.

Lin Feng started pushing the lane. Instead of controlling the wave, he used his Q skill and auto-attacks to quickly send a large wave of minions to WBG's tower. This was the most cunning form of pressure; TheShy either had to abandon the wave and recall, or risk being tower-dived and farming under the tower with low health and no mana. TheShy chose the latter. His pride as a top-tier top laner made it impossible for him to miss such a large wave of minions.

Just as the minions entered the tower, Karsa's monkey, like a ghost, emerged from the river bushes.

"Karsa is here! RNG's top and jungle are teaming up! They're going to target TheShy!"

TheShy's heart tightened, and he immediately pulled himself behind the tower.

But Lin Feng's target was not him at all.

Lin Feng's Fiora activated her W skill "Laurent's Eye," blocking an attack from the turret, and then unleashed a barrage of attacks on the turret's plating!

What he wants is not heads, but absolute economic dominance!
Karsa's monkey was merely applying pressure from the sidelines, preventing TheShy from advancing. The two coordinated perfectly, managing to devour two layers of the tower right under TheShy's nose!

"This is so unfair!" Wawa laughed. "This is exactly what RNG excels at! Utilizing their laning advantage in the top lane, they coordinate with the jungler to exert pressure and snowball the game. TheShy really lost big this time!"

When TheShy finally cleared the minion wave and awkwardly returned to base, Lin Feng's Fiora already had a nearly 300 gold lead and half a level of experience. In the early game, this is a huge advantage that can change the laning phase.

After returning to the city, Lin Feng immediately pulled out a Tiamat.

When he returned online, the sense of oppression suddenly intensified!

With Tiamat, Fiora's wave clear speed and burst damage have both reached a new level. TheShy's nightmare has only just begun.

The game reached its climax at this moment.

TheShy knew he couldn't continue to passively take hits. He had to do something. He consciously began to press his body close to the wall, not giving Lin Feng a chance to create an opening.

Lin Feng saw through his intentions. Instead of rushing to attack, he made a move that left all the high-ranking players in awe.

He controlled Fiora, pacing back and forth outside TheShy's attack range, repeatedly entering and exiting TheShy's vision. Utilizing the Fog of War mechanic, he forcibly "refreshed" the vulnerable spots on Sejuani!
"He's exploiting openings!" Rita's eyes gleamed. "He's using vision cards to position openings in the most advantageous frontal position for himself! This is textbook-level Fiora technique!"

Finally, a direct flaw appeared!
opportunity!

Lin Feng unleashed his Q skill instantly!
However, this was the moment TheShy had been waiting for! Almost at the same time Lin Feng used his Q skill "Arctic Assault"! He wasn't trying to counter-attack, but rather to use the movement and knock-up of Q to interrupt Fiora's combo and then create distance!

This is top-notch defensive counter-attacking awareness!

But Lin Feng reacted even faster!
Just a fraction of a second before the two bodies collided, Lin Feng pressed his W key!
"Laurent's Mind-Bending Knife!"
"Ding!"

A crisp metallic clang!
Fiora's rapier precisely parried Sejuani's charge! Time seemed to slow down at that moment, Sejuani's knock-up effect was perfectly negated, and, due to the parry, the counter-attack of the Mind's Eye successfully stunned TheShy on the spot!
"My God! God-level reaction! He predicted TheShy's Q! That was a predicted W!" Miller's voice was completely distorted!

TheShy's pupils constricted sharply, and his mind went blank. He knew he was finished.

For Raymond Lam's Fiora, the 1.5 seconds of dizziness is a death sentence!
Q skill resets basic attack, A, Tiamat, A, E skill "Deadly Thrust" resets basic attack, slows, then A!

A smooth, incredibly fast combo instantly emptied TheShy's health bar!
"First Blood!"

Single kill!

Under the watchful eyes of the world, Lin Feng pierced WBG's strongest shield with his purest individual skills!
On RNG's bench, Karsa and Xiaohu excitedly shouted, "Nice! Fengzi!"

Meanwhile, on the WBG side, Coach Damo covered his face in anguish. His worst fears had come true. TheShy's shield had shattered.

And this is just the beginning.

After securing the solo kill, Lin Feng did not choose to return to base. Instead, he continued to push the lane, sending the minion wave under the tower. Then, he disappeared from the top lane.

"Lin Feng has disappeared! Where did he go?"

The answer was quickly revealed. He directly invaded WBG's upper jungle and, right under Kael's nose, stole the newly spawned Krugs.

He not only dominated online, but also wanted to extend that dominance to WBG's jungle!
Kael's Vi watched the Fiora walk away, furious but unable to utter a word. He knew that if he went over there now, he would be giving Fiora a double buff.

Eight minutes into the game, the Rift Herald spawns.

RNG's five players assembled ahead of schedule. WBG, on the other hand, found themselves in a dilemma.

To release or not to release?

If you let her go, the top lane tower will definitely fall, and Fiora will be completely unleashed, becoming an unstoppable monster.

If they don't let her go, how can they fight a team with a Fiora who is almost unbeatable with their current equipment?

While WBG was still hesitating, RNG had already begun to take the lead.

"Don't let it go! We have to accept it!" Damo roared backstage.

The five members of WBG charged forward despite their fear.

"WBG has no choice but to take this lead!" Miller's voice was tense and urgent. On the screen, the five WBG players surged from the blue side's jungle towards the dragon pit like a tide, their faces filled with a do-or-die determination.

RNG reacted extremely quickly. Karsa's Monkey King immediately stopped attacking and, together with Ming's Thresh, blocked the narrowest part of the dragon pit entrance, forming a temporary barrier.

Team battle is about to begin!
WBG's initiator was Kael's Vi. His target was very clear—RNG's two carries, Viktor and Aphelios! He activated his Q skill "Power Punch," began charging, and prepared to unleash a devastating first strike.

However, just as he was halfway through charging up his power and preparing to teleport into the fray, a dark green chain flew out from the shadows and struck Wei's body precisely!

It's Ming's Thresh!
Q skill "Death Sentence"!
"Ming hooked it! He hooked Vi!" Wawa shouted excitedly, "Kael's entrance was interrupted!"

Ming didn't immediately use his second Q to fly over; instead, he used this fatal hook to keep WBG's formation firmly in place.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Xiaohu's Viktor made his move!
W skill "Gravity Field" was thrown directly at the feet of the WBG crowd, completely shattering their formation! (End of Chapter)
