LOL: You don’t want to be broadcast live on the entire network, right.?

The TES team returned to the hotel, had something to eat, and then reviewed today's game.

Today's game was relatively simple and ended quickly.

All that remains is to prepare for the semi-finals.

Everyone in TES gathered in the training room. Hongmi greeted them, "Our opponent in the semi-finals is FW. This team should be familiar to everyone. What do you think?"

Everyone can see that Redmi doesn’t really take FW seriously, because he doesn’t even have a notebook in his hand.

Under normal circumstances, he needs to use a notebook to record important things and discuss them with everyone.

Not holding a notebook proves that the other person has nothing to care about.

But it is the semi-finals after all, so we should still discuss it.

So Chen Yiqiu said, "I think as long as the game is fun to watch, winning or losing is not important, right?"

Peanut smiled and said, "I think what Brother Mozi said makes sense."

Everyone understands that when Chen Yi Qiu said that winning or losing is not important, he didn't really mean it. There is no need to worry about the issue of winning or losing. What remains is whether the game is interesting or not and whether you have fun.

Hongmi nodded: "Since everyone is so confident, then there will be no problem. I wish you success!"

The next day, the semi-finals started. MSI is different from the S game. There are many days of rest between each stage of the S game, but the MSI schedule is quite tight, with one round after another, with almost no rest time.

In the lounge, everyone in TES was waiting for the game to start.

Little Peanut suddenly came over and said, "Brother Yiqiu, take a look at this."

Suba glanced at Peanut's phone screen, where he was playing a video.

It seems to be an interview video, and the person being interviewed is none other than the members of FW.

Judging from the host’s voice, it should be the host from LMS, that is, one of their own.

"In the semi-finals against a strong team like TES, do you have the confidence to win the game?"

"I think we shouldn't just discuss the score. Although TES is very strong, they are an LPL team. We always have an advantage when playing against LPL teams."

Hearing this, Chen Yi Qiu couldn't hold it anymore. What kind of bullshit is this?
Additions are all here.

Others are saying:
"In fact, TES also has flaws, and we have developed many strategies to target them."

"You can be more confident about this semi-final. We will definitely show our strength and surprise you."

Chen Yi Qiu couldn't even laugh because it was too absurd.

At this moment, Hongmi reminded: "It's almost time, let's go on stage."

So everyone in TES left the lounge together. As soon as they walked out, the door of the lounge next to them opened.

The two teams met each other.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward.

Chen Yiqiu suddenly shouted: "Come on!"

Others followed and shouted: "Come on!"

Sure enough, everyone in FW was frightened. Just shouting was enough to scare them.

Thinking back to those boastful words just now, it’s so funny.

At the game, in the LPL division commentary booth, Wawa said:

"Hello audience friends, the semi-finals of the Mid-Season Invitational will be held soon, with TES from the LPL region facing FW from the wildcard region."

Miller continued: "TES won all the games in the group stage. We won both matches against FW, and the process was not difficult. Of course, BO5 and BO1 are not the same game, so we can't underestimate the enemy."

Players from both teams came on stage, and many people cheered for TES: "Topbo! Topbo! Topbo!"

On the big screen, TES's various data in this MSI were released.

Rita began to explain: "Top Esports is the team with the shortest average game time and the largest average economic gap in this MSI. It's really exaggerated. Generally speaking, if the average game time is short, the economic gap is not easy to widen."

"Unless it's a big win, you can't do that."

Miller agreed: "That's right. At the same time, Top Esports is the team with the most kills per game and the highest average damage per game. This is also outrageous. The shortest average game time and the highest damage should be two opposite indicators, but Top Esports has achieved both."

After the team's data was released, the next was the individual data. Needless to say, Chen Yi Qiu's data was a hexagonal warrior!
The others aren't perfect hexagons, but they're pretty close.

After the five players of TES came on stage, it was FW's turn.

The five members of FW appeared on the field, and there were only sporadic cheers at the scene.

The two teams stood face to face in the middle of the stage, with Chen Yi Qiu facing top laner Hanabi.

After shaking hands, Chen Yi Qiu turned and walked towards his seat and put on his headphones.

Both sides were ready and entered the BP stage of the first game.

In this game, TES is on the red side and FW is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
TES: Galio, Morgana, Kaisa

FW: Leblanc, Zoe, Neeko

Wawa commented: "In this game, Top Esports chose to target the bottom lane and banned two supports, and banned Kaisa themselves. I feel confused and don't understand. Shouldn't the opponent ban Top Esports' Kaisa Lake?"

Miller joked: "This is called jumping the gun. I know you will ban my Kaisa, so I will ban it first, and you can't ban my Kaisa."

Hearing this, Rita and Wawa were stunned.

Rita muttered, "What's the point of doing this?"

Entering the hero selection stage, FW got Kennen on the first floor.

Wawa exclaimed, "Ah? Kennen is on the first floor, and Silas is still outside. You dare to take Kennen, are you sure?"

Miller muttered, "Is this AD Kennen?"

Rita denied it, "It's impossible and meaningless, because after Sylas steals the ultimate, he will benefit from the bonus of his equipment. If you are an AD, and Sylas steals your ultimate, as long as he has good equipment, the damage will be explosive. I feel that FW made a mistake in BP."

TES got Sylas and Sejuani on the first and second floors.

Wawa smiled: "I knew it was Sylas. Top Esports' mid and top laners are both experts at playing Sylas. You're totally being unreasonable by letting Sylas play over Kennen in front of them."

FW got Centaur and EZ on the second and third floors.

TES locked down Braum on the third floor.

Entering the second round of BP.

TES also bans Titan and Luo.

FW chose to ban Lucian and Kalista.

TES locked Varus on the fourth floor. FW got Tam and Irelia on the fourth and fifth floors.

Miller commented: "Irelia mid lane? Although this version of Irelia mid lane is indeed powerful, I feel that it is not a good player to take the initiative, especially in front of Top Esports, which is even more irrational."

At this moment, TES got Noxus on the fifth floor!

When this Noxus was brought out, the commentators were shocked!
Miller exclaimed, "Wait! Noxus? Then Sylas may not be in the top lane, wait! This Noxus should be chosen for Irelia! Irelia may be used by FW to punish Sylas, then it makes sense!"

"Both sides are playing a game. I thought FW's Kennen was a free gift, but it turns out they have a backup plan. Now it depends on how the two sides divide it."

Both sides began to adjust the points.

TES is quite fast, Chen Yi Qiu plays Noxus and Faker plays Sylas.

Once selected, there will be no adjustments and the formation will be maintained.

FW was messing around and kept changing lanes, switching the mid and top lanes several times.

They seemed to want to cause interference to TES, but TES did not move at all.

Entering the last twenty seconds, the top lineup was determined:
Red side TES: top lane Noxus, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Sylas, ADC Varus, support Braum.

Blue side FW: top laner Irelia, jungler Centaur, mid laner Kennen, ADCEZ, support Tam

Wawa commented: "Ah? FW seems to have made a mistake in their substitutions! They actually had Irelia in the top lane and Kennen in the middle? The key is that Top Esports didn't make any substitutions in the end. Did they think that Top Esports would definitely make a substitution?"

Miller agreed: "I think FW has a high chance of thinking this way, but Top Esports is not that bored, because they still have a killer weapon! Other teams can only change heroes, but Top Esports can directly change positions. They can also carry the game even if they change positions in the mid and top positions. They have a lot of experience!
Enter the game screen.

Peanut was already laughing silly: "Hahahaha, what are they doing? They thought they were smart, but in the end they ruined their own lineup."

Faker laughed: "They probably thought we would make a switch, so they made a switch at the last minute."

Meiko said: "Is it possible that they are swapping lanes? Mid and top lanes are swapping lanes."

Chen Yiqiu said: "It doesn't matter. We will play like this normally when they switch lanes. They can't beat us. They are not us. They can't play like this occasionally. We need to practice repeatedly."

Meiko nodded. "That's true."

Chen Yi Qiu came to the upper river to stand guard to prevent invasion from the opposite side.

Soon, the first wave of soldiers came out from home, and Chen Yi Qiu began to fight against the opponent normally.

First, seize the bushes in the top lane. If the opponent really has Kennen coming to the top lane, Chen Yi Qiu can also deal with it.

The person going upstairs opposite did not appear immediately.

But Kennen has appeared in the middle lane and he wants to grab the minion line.

There is no point in hiding in the top lane, it’s Irelia!
Chen Yi Qiu stood in the bushes waiting for the opposing Irelia to come out.

Soon, the soldiers were low on health and the opposing Irelia came out from the bushes. Chen Yi Qiu killed everyone in his way, trying to predict Irelia's Q skill.

It turned out that this Irelia chose to use her E skill, Twin Blades, to finish off the enemy.

Wawa commented: "Irelia feels a little weak, and doesn't dare to get close to the minion line. In this match, Noxus used sprint flash, while Irelia used flash ignite. In fact, Irelia has the upper hand in the early fight."

"At the same time, both of them have a very low tolerance for error. Without TP, if they are killed by the opponent once, the loss will be very large."

The second wave of soldiers came, and Chen Yi Qiu controlled the soldiers and fought just like before.

After all, the tolerance rate is low. If you push the line and are ganked by the opponent's jungler, it will be a big trouble.

Irelia continued to use her E skill to finish off the enemy, not giving Chen Yi Qiu any chance to get close.

When Chen Yi Qiu reached level 2, he pushed forward decisively, moving all the way forward and forcing the Sword Girl out of the experience zone.

The sword girl had no intention of resisting and just let Chen Yi Qiu chase her.

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
[No, you're such a coward for choosing a sword girl? Play with your balls!]

[What are you doing? If you are so wretched, why don’t you choose Ornn? A Malphite will also work. ]

[I thought he played Irelia for the sake of operation, and spent a lot of time pretending. ]

[If it wasn't God Qiu, he might have been intimidated by him, but unfortunately, this is God Qiu. ]

In the middle lane, Sylas is facing Kennen. He will definitely be suppressed in the early stage and will need to reach level 6 to have a chance to turn things around.

The mid lane minion line is relatively short, which is quite comfortable for Faker.

In the bottom lane, Varus is much stronger in the early stage. At the same time, the hero Braum is also good at dealing with melee supports. TES now has the advantage and is pushing forward.

Three and a half minutes into the game, Peanut's Pig Girl finished the first round, and he chose to go to the top lane to help with vision.

The soldiers in the top lane cannot be controlled, and a large wave of soldiers are about to enter the defense tower.

Now Irelia is level 2 and Noxus is level 3. It is difficult to attack Irelia since she is in full condition, so Peanut chooses to leave.

Wawa commented: "The situation in the top lane is very stable now. You know what, there is nothing wrong with the choice of Irelia. If he had traded blood with Noxus before, this wave of Sejuani came over and crossed the tower. He was right to give up the last hit."

Rita said: "But on the other hand, if he plays well and wins the trade, Centaur can come to gank the top lane, so he is very hungry and his teammates can't help him."

In the top lane, Chen Yi Qiu was looking for an opportunity to consume the enemy's strength in front of the opposing defensive tower. Irelia would definitely want to kill the ranged soldiers, so this was Chen Yi Qiu's chance.

Sure enough, this Irelia started to pull back and forth, pretending to attack normally, and then immediately turned around and moved.

This is to cheat skills.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi Qiu is not a fool. If he likes to move, let him keep moving. Anyway, it is not Chen Yi Qiu who loses the military line.

Sure enough, Irelia couldn't help it soon, and used her Q skill to make the last kill, then immediately used Q to attack the soldier on the right, wanting to make a cool move.

"Ruthless Iron Hands!" Chen Yi Qiu's speed of hardening was very fast. He used the E skill in the first moment and pulled the Knife Girl over from mid-air.

A hidden WA was fired, followed by a massive attack. The Blade Girl used her twin blades, and Chen Yi Qiu dodged them easily while attacking.

Wawa commented: "What a quick reaction speed! This time, Irelia lost a lot in the blood exchange, and her Q skill was interrupted. Now she can't use Q to make the last kill and recover blood."

The next wave of soldiers came and continued to be blocked in front of the defense tower. Chen Yi Qiu continued to look for opportunities to consume them.

Five minutes into the game, Irelia had been beaten to low health by Chen Yiqiu and had to give up a wave of soldiers and return to the city for supplies.

Chen Yi Qiu crossed the defensive tower, cut off a wave of soldiers, and then disappeared in the top lane.

Miller commented: "The last hits in the top lane are now 48 to 22. Although Irelia was not killed, the economic gap is a bit large, and the level gap is about to reach level one."

"Wait a minute! What is this Noxus going to do? He is lying in ambush in the bushes and he is not going back!"

The director's camera was focused on the autistic bush in front of the blue team's second tower in the top lane, and Noxus was crouching inside!

Irelia came down from the high ground, walked in front of the second tower, and approached Noxus!
Noxus decisively started sprinting!
The FW fans at the scene were extremely anxious and wanted to remind Irelia, but the player couldn't hear them!
"Hello!" Chen Yi Qiu walked out of the bushes and used an AWA to cripple and slow down the opponent!
Daomei didn't react at first, but Chen Yiqiu didn't care and just gave up the killing move.

Irelia came to her senses and used the first stage of her E skill to intimidate others. However, Chen Yiqiu didn't care and continued to attack. So Irelia used the second stage of her E skill to control the enemy!
However, Noxus also used his Merciless Iron Hands at the same time, and Irelia was pulled back!

Wawa passionately explained: "It seems that the top laner is going to kill alone!" (End of this chapter)
