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

Chapter 239 The Fierce MSI! In Full Swing!
During the match, Caps played Irelia, and his skill level was clearly quite good.

While split pushing down the side lane, facing the attack from the Vietnamese team's mid and jungle, he first used minions to quickly move and dodge the enemy's Jarvan IV's EQ combo, shocking the entire audience.

Then use E [Double Blades] to pull in both of them, and then use Q to quickly stack the passive.

After that, they started standing still and fighting the opponent. The new version of Irelia's damage was so exaggerated that Flandre and GimGoon were stunned.

"The reworked Irelia is really outrageous. Once her passive is fully stacked, she can just spam auto-attacks without thinking. She can't even beat two people!" Flandre couldn't help but complain.

In the ensuing team fight, the Vietnamese team's Kai'Sa was hit by Irelia's ultimate, entering a 1.5-second disarming state.

The unfortunate Kai'Sa could only watch as Irelia relentlessly auto-attacked her in the face, unable to retaliate at all, and could only be killed by Irelia's auto-attacks.

Even among different versions, there are differences!
Kai'Sa, who dominated all major regions for a spring, was brutally crushed by Irelia, another meta-defining champion, at the MSI!
Fnatic quickly secured their first victory, achieving a winning start for the team and showcasing their excellent competitive form to audiences worldwide.

In the LCS studio, commentator Charlie excitedly shouted, "Hey! Koster, did you see that?!"

"That's Caps' talent! He can use the newly reworked champions like they're his own arms. He's a truly miraculous player!"

Koster smiled and said, "It would be even better if Caps could perform like this against his new opponent, Kshine."

Charles, the bald commentator standing to the side, nodded: "Yes, I'm also looking forward to the upcoming match between Caps and Kshine, the rookie mid-laner."

"Although Kshine has won a world championship as an AD carry, he has not yet proven his mid-lane skills on the international stage. This is a good opportunity for him to prove himself."

Koster smiled and said, "Such an opportunity will come soon. EDG has a match against FNC tomorrow."

"The next match is between EDG and TL."

"The two teams are vastly different in strength, but we can still see how EDG performs after arriving in Berlin."

"Hopefully they can regain their unbeaten form from the Spring Split as soon as possible."

"..."

EDG backstage.

"FNC played really well. I didn't expect Caps to play Irelia so well."

Saint Gun clicked his tongue: "Luckily I don't play mid lane, otherwise my head would be smashed to pieces."

As Maokai took notes, he said, "Actually, you could tell from the player selection stage that FNC had done a lot of research."

"Their mid and top laners also have the ability to flex between two lanes with Irelia, which puts EvoS at a disadvantage in the draft phase. But if we were to draft, we wouldn't suffer this loss."

Saint Gun Bro chuckled: "If Caps dares to play Irelia in front of Yao Bro, then my Yao Bro will lock in Yasuo and crush him!"

Wang Yao couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't underestimate Caps. After all, he's a European mid-laner genius. His skills are quite good."

The players chatted and joked in the lounge for more than ten minutes. After being reminded by the staff, they left the backstage area to prepare for their first match of the MSI.

Maokai didn't arrange any special drafting tactics; basically, everyone just played according to the established rules.

It's no exaggeration to say that EDG's victory over TL was a complete one-sided beatdown.

In this match, Flandre played Camille in the top lane, while Tian chose Lee Sin, Wang Yao played Zoe in the mid lane, and the bot lane duo was Xayah and Rakan.

From the very beginning, everyone could feel that the difference in the raw strength of the two teams was simply obvious to the naked eye.

TL was at a disadvantage in all three lanes right from the start! Xiaotian, who had just been promoted to the starting jungler position, was having a blast, treating TL's jungle like his own backyard, roaming around freely.

At 6 minutes and 39 seconds, the first kill was achieved in the bottom lane, with Meiko's Rakan making a grand entrance with his W, forcibly interrupting the enemy Tristana's W skill.

Seeing this, iboy immediately followed up with his Feather Blade to control the situation and killed Doublelife.

At 7 minutes and 31 seconds, Wang Yao controlled Zoe to put the Queen to sleep through the wall, and a long-range flying star suddenly appeared, sending the low-health Pobelter back to the fountain.

At 21 minutes and 38 seconds, the powerful EDG team, with the Baron buff, wiped out the entire TL team on the mid-lane high ground.

TL was completely dominated and thrashed by EDG throughout the entire match. The three commentators in the LCS studio exclaimed that it was outrageous. With such an exaggerated and over-the-top performance, EDG seemed poised to win the championship!

Meanwhile, in the domestic LPL match commentary livestream room, Umbrella King, Rita, Ruofeng, Yutong, and others were all happily explaining the EDG vs. TL match.

Meanwhile, in the LPL commentary booth in Berlin, XiaoXiao couldn't help but say, "TL got completely crushed right from the start, EDG is still in their prime from the spring season!"

“The MSI version has indeed undergone significant changes, but this has not had a major impact on EDG.”

"Yes."

Wawa spread his hands and said, "There is a gap in skill between the players. TL can't win in any of the three lanes. It's too difficult in this version."

"Xiaotian kept invading and attacking the enemy's jungle, and the opposing jungler was in a real bind."

Miller said with a smile, "EDG's next match is a China-Korea showdown with KZ, which will take place at 9 pm. Everyone can pay attention to it."

"The next match is Flash Wolves vs. KZ, which will also give us a chance to see KZ's competitive form at MSI."

……

Flash Wolves are a restructured team this season, and the departure of their core player, Karsa, has had a significant impact on the team.

Although they made it to MSI again this year, with the decline of the LMS region, this team, which was once known as the "Korean Heroes", inevitably declined.

On the other hand, the KZ team is still the same team that won the championship last year, and with the strong addition of Peanut, their momentum is unstoppable.

To most people, this was a crushing defeat.

Especially after EDG easily defeated TL with their towers, Korean forums were buzzing with claims that KZ was about to tear Flash Wolves apart.

Backstage at KZ, Peanut, who had just joined the team, was chatting and laughing with the two elders, while Khan was chatting with BDD. The team members were not under any pressure.

Soon, Coach Sin clapped his hands and briefly explained the tactics: "Just play normally against FW, Wanghu, improvise as you see fit."

"Our real opponent is EDG. Everyone should try to be strong in the laning phase and play to their best. Good luck, everyone!"

The KZ members nodded, ready to do as Sin said.

Khan was also full of fighting spirit: "I've been wanting to compete against EDG again for a long time. This time I must wash away the shame of the World Championship!"

The KZ players had a heated discussion, but there wasn't much information about Flash Wolves (FW).

Their only real rival at the 2018 MSI was EDG.

As for the rebuilt Flash Wolves, they should go back to where they came from. They're just minor characters who will play a supporting role and then leave, not worth mentioning at all.
