Chapter 215 E-sports Capture! Three Captures of Meng Huo!
Uzi's performance was still on point. He used Cleanse to instantly remove the stun from the card, but the yellow card suddenly drained most of Kai'Sa's health!

Uzi's eyes twitched at the sight.

What the hell is this damage?!
Immediately afterwards, Camille used an AQ combo combined with Nocturne's Claw auto-attack, shattering Kai'Sa's health bar to pieces.

Even if Uzi activated his ultimate ability, giving his Kai'Sa an extra shield, it would only prolong the time before she died when facing a three-man attack.

As Xayah's ultimate ability unleashed a barrage of feathers, the moment the feathers retracted, Xayah's hook shattered Kai'Sa's thin shield, instantly killing Uzi.

RNG's four-protect-one strategy was completely overturned by EDG, and the other seemingly useless support players also fell apart.

EDG successfully secured the Baron buff and then began an unstoppable 4-1 split push, ultimately ending the game at 28 minutes and 49 seconds.

EDG's ultimate lock-on strategy perfectly countered RNG's meticulously crafted four-protect-one Kai'Sa lineup.

In the S8 LPL Spring Finals, EDG took the lead with a score of 1-0!

"1-0! Congratulations to EDG for taking the first game of the Spring Finals!"

From the commentary booth, Guan Daxiao shouted, "They're one step closer to the MSI league! Kshine is still the undisputed number one in the LPL!"

At this moment, the online comments section was already flooded with messages.

"Little Tiger's head is almost smashed. Now the fans are really going to become the designated fathers of the royal family. Capturing Meng Huo three times is quite something."

"Brother Yao single-handedly completed the compulsory education of RNG's mid and bot lane carries. It's not an exaggeration to call him RNG's father. After all, your Uzi and Xiaohu take turns being filial to him."

"What do you mean by 'the value of a first-time champion'?!"

"Uzi is making a mess of things with Kai'Sa, his skill level is not even a hair's breadth below my brother Yao's."

"..."

On the LPL commentary desk, Rita also spoke eloquently:
"EDG's tactical design was brilliant. Coach Maokai used multiple heroes with built-in lock-on abilities to target Uzi's Kai'Sa, which achieved excellent results."

"It could even be said that he cracked RNG's Kai'Sa system! Despite having all the team's resources, Uzi couldn't deal any damage in team fights."

这局的Uzi全场数据为5/7/2，而赛后他的输出数据才刚刚1W4出头。

AD carries like Kai'Sa, with their short range, lack poke ability unless they're playing an AP build.

Uzi was almost always the first to be killed in team fights, so he had virtually no room to deal damage.

However, considering the large amount of economic resources Uzi received, his damage output was clearly not worthy of the team's contributions.

In this match, Uzi's damage conversion rate was only 92%, while iboy's damage conversion rate on EDG's side was 122%.

Even so, Uzi's damage share was as high as 34.1%, while the other four support players dealt even less damage and were basically just there to add fuel to the fire.

Xiaohu's Galio only dealt 9333 damage, failing to even reach 10,000.

Of course, this is also because Uzi's Kai'Sa consumed most of the resources, so it's understandable that the support hero didn't deal much damage.

This also precisely demonstrates the strength of EDG's lock-on lineup; they truly exploited RNG's weaknesses and launched a fierce attack.

If Uzi doesn't develop properly and can't deal enough damage, RNG will have a hard time winning team fights.

After all, RNG's lineup selection tends to protect their own carry, and they are essentially a group of utility players with average damage output.

In addition, RNG's top, mid, and jungle players have begun to rely heavily on Uzi's performance in the bot lane, especially Xiaohu in the mid lane. Compared to his stats in last year's Spring Split, he has shown signs of a complete decline. Xiaohu, who could still play LeBlanc in S7, has regressed to a utility-focused mid laner in S8!

While RNG did indeed shift their tactical focus to the bottom lane, the main reason was that Xiaohu had become accustomed to letting Uzi carry the game.

It's difficult to eradicate human laziness in a short time. Once Uzi fails to finish the game, Xiaohu, who's used to lying down, will also follow suit.

At this moment, RNG fans at the scene were clearly unable to accept this situation.

What happened to Uzi and Kai'Sa being unbeatable and guaranteed a spot in MSI? How come they got completely crushed by EDG?!

In the first three rounds of the playoffs, Uzi delivered an incredibly brilliant individual performance, leading countless fans to believe that this year marks the peak of his career.

As a result, EDG immediately exposed RNG's true colors, which was quite surprising.

"Is Uzi any good or not? So you're going to be Yao's captive forever? What, is your Uzi going to become the Meng Huo of esports?"

“Dog bastard, speak up! Here’s a fun fact: Yao’s Kai’Sa was the first player in the LPL to achieve godlike status, and he was playing against IG.”

"Le, one person carrying four useless teammates to the Spring Finals is considered bad? Look at what this trash Xiaohu is doing, he can't win in lane, he can't roam, what the hell is he playing!"

"Playing Galio and getting utterly crushed by Twisted Fate, I don't know which idiot gave him the nickname 'Tiger General,' he's a complete liability throughout the game."

"..."

Under the director's close-up shot, Uzi in front of the screen shook his head helplessly, feeling quite frustrated and uncomfortable playing Kai'Sa.

He tried his best during the laning phase and did have some advantages, but he couldn't withstand being picked off in team fights.

How could a squishy Kai'Sa possibly pull off a godlike performance? She was immediately headshot by Camille's ultimate, rooted by a yellow card, and then pounced on by Nocturne. No one could stop her like that.

Faced with EDG's top, mid, and jungle duo targeting him, Uzi had absolutely no room to deal damage.

Here, after the RNG players returned to the backstage lounge, they saw Sun Dayong and Coach Heart as soon as they entered.

Instead of criticizing the players' poor performance, they offered some words of encouragement, emphasizing that stabilizing the players' mindset was the most important thing at this time.

Coach Heart first called Xiangguo over and reviewed the key points of the previous game with him.

"Xiangguo, you need to pay attention to your early game offensive strategy. You can't just focus on the bottom lane. That's too obvious and the opponent can easily take advantage of it."

"Actually, you can do what Mingkai did on the other side: first help Xiaohu in the mid lane establish an advantage, free him up, and then go with him to roam and do things in the bottom lane."

Heart tried his best to keep his tone calm, knowing that Mala Xiangguo was a typical person who responded better to gentle persuasion than force.

If you're a little too irritable, he'll definitely argue back. As the coach, Heart can only try to talk to Spicy Hot Pot like he's coaxing a child.

There's no way around it, being RNG's coach is tough!
This team appears to be incredibly successful on the surface, but in reality, it has inherent flaws.

Other teams can play mid-jungle synergy or jungle-support synergy in the early game, but RNG can't do that; they don't have many tactical options.

Because of Uzi's aggressive playstyle, he is destined to have his support constantly stay with him in lane, continuously putting pressure on the enemy bot lane.

If any support player dares to roam, given Uzi's stubborn nature, he'll easily get carried away and start a fight.
