LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 115 How to evaluate Kshine's performance?
Immediately, a popular post on the anti-Japanese forum with over a million views appeared before Wang Yao's eyes.

How would you rate Kshine's performance at the World Championship? #EDGClub #LOL #S7WorldChampionship

The number of replies below is in the thousands.

"What does it mean to be a top-tier professional with unparalleled dominance? Wouldn't that kind of phenomenal dominance be enough to beat up the neighbor's bathing dog?"

"You're just bragging, aren't you? I, Uzi, have two world runner-up titles, and you, an LPL Summer Finals MVP, are trying to rub salt in the wound?"

"You bunch of bastards can brag about getting second place? Surely no one has actually played in the LPL for six years and still hasn't won a league championship?"

"Just wait and see. Uzi, who consistently plays like a dutiful son against Korean teams, dares to compare himself to K? K has already defeated two LCK teams in a row!"

"EDG: Behold my divine might, invincible and unstoppable! This year, we'll pull off a 1v3 victory for everyone!"

"Kshine Pray: This Vayne tutorial game is from a low-ranked player. It's from the S7 semifinals, and the enemy AD is a veteran LCK player. Watch how I organize this old AD's retirement ceremony!"

"..."

The fans on Tieba (a Chinese online forum) are quite confident in EDG's hot streak, and they genuinely believe that EDG can win this year's World Championship.

After all, EDG hasn't lost a single game in the S7 World Championship so far! This 100% win rate has already set too many records in the competition.

Now it's up to RNG and SKT to see who will have the last laugh and advance to the finals to face EDG!
To be honest, SKT's performance this year has been really average. They even lost to Rabbit Team in the group stage, but they had a close match with WE.

The once invincible SKT team has clearly shown signs of declining dominance, but with Faker, the great demon king, on the team, it will not be easy for RNG to defeat this strong opponent.

"RNG vs SKT tomorrow, who do you think will win?"

Inside the training room, Meiko asked idly.

"It's hard to say. SKT has a great ability to adjust. Even if they are down 0-2, they might be able to come back," Clearlove said first.

As one of the few LPL players in China who has played a full five games against SKT, Clearlove has a deeper impression of his encounters with SKT.

When facing SKT, the first thing to consider is your own mid laner. You absolutely cannot be worse than Faker; you must at least be evenly matched with him in the laning phase.

EDG's mid laner Scout, while not as good as Faker in overall game awareness, can still hold his own against Faker in laning ability.

As for RNG's mid laner Xiaohu... well, that's hard to say!
After all, Xiaohu and RNG were completely crushed by SKT at last year's World Championship, especially the difference in the mid lane between the two sides was particularly obvious.

However, because Mata in the bottom lane played too "loyally to the country," Xiaohu was not targeted by the trolls.

If your mid-laner collapses, the other lane will definitely suffer as well.

Wang Yao and the factory manager were both very clear that for RNG to win against SKT, Xiaohu in the mid lane had to make a "voice" and could not be suppressed by Faker and become a rooted spirit in the mid lane.

"It doesn't matter, we'll still play whoever makes it to the finals." With ADC Wang Yao in the bottom lane, Clearlove said confidently.

This is the confidence that the mid and bottom C-tier combination brings to Qi Jiang!

The stronger the two carries are, the more outstanding EDG's jungler's performance becomes!
The next day, the semifinals of the lower bracket began as scheduled, and another exciting match took place at the Oriental Sports Center in Shanghai!

The entire EDG team watched the best-of-five elimination match in a private box, arranged by the league officials.

To everyone's surprise, RNG actually won the first game against SKT right from the start, taking a 1-0 lead!

Such a wonderful start has made countless RNG fans cheer, and many people are speculating whether the two LPL teams will have an internal battle at the Bird's Nest this year!

But soon, RNG fans' dreams began to shatter. After the draft phase of the second game, SKT on the blue side picked Camille for top lane, Gragas for jungle, Galio for mid lane, and Varus and Leona for bot lane.

In this game, SKT did not choose the mainstream Ardent Censer build, but instead learned from EDG's system and tried to apply maximum pressure from the start!
In contrast, RNG's lineup features Gnar in the top lane, Nocturne in the jungle, Malzahar in the mid lane, and Twitch paired with Rakan in the bot lane.

As for the bot lane duo, Varus and Leona against Twitch and Rakan are absolutely dominating in lane, completely crushing their opponents!
Because Rat and Rakan are a teamfight duo, RNG's bot lane duo could only play cautiously during the laning phase and couldn't withstand SKT's duo's attacks at all.

The Camille + Galio combo needs no introduction; their ultimate abilities, combined with the "butt slam," can definitely deliver a pinpoint blow to the enemy's carry.

SKT and EDG have very similar draft strategies, both focusing on aggressive, head-on damage output and a "fight it out if you're not going to back down" approach!
Of course, that's not the most important point.

SKT did not ban Xayah and Rakan when they were on the blue side, nor did they pick Xayah as their AD carry. This means that RNG could have picked Xayah and Rakan, the legendary bot lane duo, but they chose not to!
The currently recognized top-tier bot lane duo was actually abandoned by RNG, which can only mean that... Uzi never practiced Xayah!

Immediately, the online chat was flooded with questions and doubts.

"What kind of garbage draft is this from RNG? They have Xayah and Rakan available, why pick that crappy Twitch instead? This Xayah pick is completely useless against Camille and Galio!"

"Hehehe, isn't it because your dog doesn't know how to play Kasumi? I'm just curious, is it really that hard to learn Kasumi?"

"You didn't learn anything last year, so you won't learn anything this year, huh? You really don't learn even the slightest bit of memory!"

"..."

Inside the VIP box, Meiko was also puzzled by RNG's draft picks. Logically speaking, with Uzi's talent, mastering Xayah should be no problem at all.

After all, AD champions really only have a limited number of skills. At most, the E-Flash combo is a bit difficult, but even a Silver player can easily pull it off.

Let alone a professional player like Uzi.

The factory manager standing to the side frowned deeply.

RNG's lineup... to be honest, it's quite risky!

Mlxg picked Nightmare purely to counter Faker's Galio in the mid lane.

After all, Galio can't use his ultimate when Nocturne uses his ultimate to turn off the lights, which is the same principle as using Nocturne to counter Shen's ultimate.

"If RNG can't win this game, then their subsequent draft picks will basically be completely controlled by SKT," Clearlove immediately concluded.

Wang Yao remained expressionless, but inwardly he agreed with the factory director's words.

There's no way around it; RNG's top laner, Letme, can't play Jayce. Even though they're on the blue side, they have to ban Jayce.

As a top laner with a similar playstyle, Huni is likely to either lose his lane or remain in a stalemate when playing against other top laners with the same style.

But when it comes to playing against a blue-collar top laner like Letme, it's a natural counter-relationship. The more stable you are, the easier it is for Huni to crush you!
EDG's top laner Mouse may seem like he's just playing casually, but he's not incapable of playing fighters. Although he's not very good at Jayce, he has a knack for playing Rumble.

At worst, we'll just play against SKT in the top bracket. Everyone should ignore the bot lane duos in the bottom bracket and see which ADC collapses first!

In the bottom lane, EDG has never really been afraid of any team so far.

If left to 2v2 in the bottom lane, Wang Yao would be fully capable of picking Draven and completely dominating the opposing bottom lane.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it!
But if RNG were to play this style of play, they would absolutely not dare to do it this way.

Uzi in the bot lane needs to be supported by the mid and jungle, and the top laner also needs to withstand the pressure and stay stable, otherwise the AD will be in serious trouble in no time!
