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

Chapter 240 KZ, who committed the sin of arrogance!

At the match, EDG stood up and shook hands with the TL players.

Although being utterly crushed by EDG is humiliating, it's acceptable if the opponent is a strong championship favorite.

After all, not many people would blame TL for being swept by EDG; instead, they would praise them for their fighting spirit on the field.

Therefore, when Wang Yao shook hands with the TL team members, you could even see an excited smile on Doublelife's face.

After thanking the audience, the EDG team returned to the backstage area via the passageway.

Back in the lounge, Zhu Kai and Mao Kai pulled everyone together to watch the match, which was between KZ and Flash Wolves.

"Come on, come on."

"We need to watch KZ's first match closely. In the previous scrims, these guys were just like us, always holding back."

"Although Flash Wolves can't beat KZ, they're still much stronger than TL. KZ will definitely reveal something."

However, Wang Yao doesn't quite agree with the claim that Flash Wolves are definitely weaker than KZ.

He said, "I think KZ might lose this game."

"Oh? How to say it."

Everyone looked at Wang Yao with puzzled expressions.

Wang Yao continued, "I've studied FW's previous matches, and based on the results of my scrims with them, I feel that FW's playstyle is very well adapted to the current version, showing signs of being a dark horse."

"Especially since the group stage is a BO1 format, which is different from the BO5 format, if KZ becomes careless, it wouldn't be surprising if they were defeated by FW in a row."

Despite everyone's continued trust in Wang Yao.

But Flash Wolves' performance in the World Championships over the past few years has been that of a team that falters in big tournaments and can be easily bullied by anyone.

So even though Wang Yao said that, everyone remained skeptical.

Immediately, the entire backstage team engaged in a rather intense analysis of the combat strength of KZ and FW.

From any perspective, KZ completely outclasses Flash Wolves.

Before we knew it, the match between KZ and FW had begun.

The EDG players sat on small stools, watching the match with even more suspicion.

On the big screen, KZ and FW were constantly drafting their picks and bans.

Everyone could see that KZ had chosen a very strange lineup.

After securing the first three picks—Troll Warlord, Ryze, and Kai'Sa—Narga Lulu was picked on the fourth and fifth floors.

The red team FW's first four picks were Tahm Kench, Kha'Zix, Kog'Maw, and Galio, which are very strong in the mid-game and form a very complete system in the current version.

"Wow, you were right, Yao-ge!"

Meiko was a little surprised: "KZ is really overconfident. They didn't reveal anything, their lineup was very stable, and they were almost unprepared. They just wanted to overpower Flash Wolves with sheer strength!"

"Do they really think FW is worthless?"

Seeing this, Wang Yao couldn't help but shake his head. At this moment, KZ had committed the sin of arrogance!

What's even more surprising is that the next second, Flash Wolves showed their wolfish side on the fifth floor!
They picked Yasuo for their top laner, Harab!
Yasuo, the Unforgiven, versus Gnar!
The audience at the scene shouted excitedly, while the commentators in the studio laughed heartily.

This choice is, of course, something everyone welcomes.

"Yasuo!"

The doll shouted, "Flash Wolves came prepared! Picking Yasuo like that clearly means they're going to challenge Khan!"

Miller also said, "The Flash Wolves are going to play a fast-paced game, and I actually prefer their lineup."

"We did not expect such a BP result."

"..." As the three LPL commentators on stage were discussing, the match officially began.

The situation in this match was truly astonishing. With the score still tied at 0-0 in the 22nd minute, it resembled a Shakespearean esports duel.

But by the 32nd minute, Flash Wolves had a commanding 10-2 kill lead and continued their assault all the way to KZ's high ground!

If it weren't for KZ's mid laner BDD's outstanding performance, dealing explosive damage with Ryze and instantly killing Kog'Maw, KZ might have been at risk of being wiped out in one fell swoop.

As the game progressed, the scales of victory tipped in favor of the Flash Wolves.

Not only is Harabbi's swordsmanship unbeatable, but Mama's Boy, Moojin, and Betty have all grown up and become powerful.

In the team fight at 42 minutes and 26 seconds, the Swordmaster and Kha'Zix attracted almost all of KZ's aggro, and all you could see was Betty's Kog'Maw spraying damage like a machine!
In the end, Big Mouth secured a triple kill, helping Flash Wolves win the team fight.

Immediately afterwards, they pushed down the middle lane and wiped out KZ!

This is no longer just a simple upset; with a kill score of 16-4, Flash Wolves were practically dominating KZ in this game.

The former vanguard against South Korea seems to have returned!

The audience and commentators were all surprised, and the EDG players backstage were also so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

Meiko looked at the suddenly unfamiliar Lightning Wolf, then at Wang Yao, and the others also looked at Wang Yao.

"Fuck!"

Saint Gun exclaimed, "Amazing! Yao, when did you learn divination? You can even figure this out!"

Wang Yao replied calmly, with a relaxed expression, "As I said before, there are no weak teams in the World Championship."

"KZ's carelessness serves as a warning to us that we must be more cautious in the upcoming MSI and throughout the 2018 season."

"Even if you win all year, you could still lose at the last minute."

The EDG players seemed to be deep in thought. Their 19-game winning streak in the Spring Split and their crushing victories over many strong teams in the Spring Playoffs had indeed made them a little complacent.

KZ's current arrogance and subsequent misfortune are just the kind of disastrous situation that EDG might face in the future!

Pride comes before a fall; the ancients were right!
……

With the match between Flash Wolves and KZ over, all six group stage teams have now played a round and made their appearances.

KZ's upset caused a stir on Korean forums. Just as the fans were cursing, the match between FNC and TL began.

European viewers erupted in cheers, and in the LCS studio, Cha Jie's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.

"Four kills!"

"Caps' Vladimir got a quadra kill! No one can stop him! TL will be terrified when they see his Vladimir!"

Charlie exclaimed excitedly, "This is the Caps I was talking about! He's now the best mid laner in Europe!"

Caps is a rising star among mid laners in the European region in recent years and a key player in reviving FNC's glory. Therefore, European commentators like Charlie will subconsciously compare him to Kshine.

After all, Kshine, as a new domestic mid-laner in the LPL, also carries the hopes of the LPL's mid-laners.

"Guys, you have to understand that Kshine has never had a performance like Caps at MSI. That guy is better off in the AD position."

Upon hearing this, Koster couldn't help but say, "Charlie, EDG only took 20 minutes to beat TL."

"To be honest, this little bit of time isn't even enough for me to sit in the bathroom and decide what to have for dinner."

"But this match between FNC and TL took a full 40 minutes, which is enough time for me to take eight showers."

Despite Koster's words, it did not stop Charlie from praising Caps as Europe's hope.

It's not surprising that Charlie compared Kshine to Caps, as the former is a rising star mid-laner heavily promoted by Riot, and even a player who has the potential to succeed Faker.

If Caps can defeat Kshine head-on at MSI, the related topics and attention will shift to Caps, creating hype and attracting traffic!
