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

Chapter 262 Ionia! Unyielding Spirit!
Upon seeing KZ's lineup, the colonel couldn't help but exclaim, "KZ is so strong tonight! We need to go all out on offense; I'm not going to play it safe and farm!"

"Currently, in KZ's lineup, only Skarner can barely be considered a tank."

Rita: "EDG locked in Jax!"

"If Flandre is playing Jax, then Irelia is going mid."

"This top laner's intention is very clear: he wants to lane against you! You, Khan, are strong, but I, Flandre, am also the number one domestic top laner in the LPL!"

Longhair nodded: "Jax and Camille are facing off in the top lane, so it still depends on the players' skills."

"Camille can use her ultimate to dodge the final hit of Jax's Counter Strike, and Jax can also use Counter Strike to block Camille's second Q."

"If you want to go even further, you can use the 'Qi Eye' technique to dodge the grappling hook. The specific outcome will depend on the detailed exchanges between the two sides."

Colonel Guan continued, picking up where the long-haired man left off:

"Kshine's Irelia in the mid lane is definitely worth looking forward to. This champion, combined with Olaf, is incredibly powerful in the mid-game!"

The analysis continued in the studio, and the lineups for both sides were officially finalized.

KZ: Top lane Camille, Jungle Skarner, Mid lane Taliyah, ADC Kai'Sa, Support Rakan.

EDG: Top lane Jax, jungle Olaf, mid lane Irelia, bot lane Ezreal + Tahm Kench.

Maokai and Coach Sin shook hands on stage, and amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, the match officially began!
The heroes from both sides appeared in Summoner's Rift.

When facing Taliyah, Wang Yao started with Corrupting Potion and his Summoner Spells were Flash and Ignite.

The Mid-Season Invitational was held on patch 8.8, while the new version of Irelia was officially released as early as patch 8.7.

This is a highly entertaining hero, but also very difficult to play, with a very large gap between the skill ceiling and the skill floor.

When played by a skilled player, Irelia possesses a combination of burst damage capable of instantly killing squishy targets, sustained damage output, and the ability to finish off enemies, making her a very well-rounded character.

However, if a novice tries to operate it, not only will the damage be mediocre, but it will also break easily during team battles.

Wang Yao's primary rune setup is Conqueror, and his secondary rune setup includes Bone Plating and Chrysalis, which is the standard talent build for warriors nowadays.

"come on! Come on!"

"Keep it up, brothers!"

"come on!"

"..."

Cheers erupted throughout the stadium, and the EDG players encouraged each other in team voice chat.

KZ had a great idea right from the start. The two Xuanming Elders sneaked to the top lane, preparing to cooperate with Camille to invade and try to catch EDG off guard.

From God's perspective, KZ's five players grouped up and attacked, heading straight for EDG's top lane.

Wang Yao saw Taliyah's brief disappearance into the river in the mid lane and immediately sent a signal to Pin in the top lane.

Ding! !

At this moment, Meiko was also marking a question mark in the bottom lane.

"The person is missing!"

"Back off, back off!"

"Back off with the bullets, these guys are ganging up on you."

"I see it, I see it!"

"Holy crap, those Koreans are really cunning!"

As Flandre muttered to himself, he controlled Jax to retreat from the triangular grass towards the Stone Golem.

Khan didn't give chase, because even if his Camille used E to chase over the wall, the KZ players behind him wouldn't be able to keep up.

They moved along the river towards the mid lane, but EDG completely ignored them because they wouldn't gain any advantage by fighting them at level one.

The duo then moved to KZ's red buff area and placed a ward inside the enemy's red buff at the perfect time.

Relying on their superior numbers, Peanut directly invaded Tian's red buff area, lighting up the crystal spire on the wall next to the red buff, which can be described as very aggressive.

Wang Yao saw Camille walking towards the jungle through the ward at the river entrance. "They're going to steal the red buff."

"We can't handle this wave."

Xiao Tian reacted decisively: "I'll give way, I'll give way."

Wang Yao suggested, "You can play a trick: just open it at F6 and wait until the scorpion finishes its red buff before anything else spawns."

"Tianye also placed a ward at the enemy's red buff. If Peanut doesn't go to farm the red buff, then exchanging jungle camps won't be a loss for us at all."

Xiao Tian nodded, understanding Wang Yao's meaning.

After he finishes clearing the F6 camp, he goes to clear the blue buff. If Peanut tries to steal his own red buff, he can still get both river crabs.

At 1 minute and 30 seconds, Camille and Skarner started attacking the red buff under EDG's watchful eye. Seeing this, Xiaotian decisively chose to start with F6.

Wang Yao can't go help right now because he doesn't have lane priority in the early game against Taliyah in the mid lane, and if he messes up the tempo, it could easily cause the mid lane to collapse.

Bdd will have a very comfortable time roaming around, which will put a lot of pressure on EDG's sidelines.

In the top lane, Jax and Camille need to focus on the details of their laning phase. If they are interfered with by external factors, their development will definitely be affected.

Meiko and iboy both picked Minion Dematerializer in the bottom lane, aiming to push the lane and create a strong early game tempo.

EDG's system cannot be disturbed too much, otherwise they will be in a very difficult position in the mid-game.

However, this doesn't stop Flandre from pulling off some minor tricks.

Wang Yao, still having energy left in the mid lane, switched to the top lane and saw Jax hiding in the tri-bush, waiting for Camille to return to lane.

Khan suffered a slight loss in this round, as the Weapon Master launched a counterattack.

Fortunately, he also had bones, so he didn't lose too much health.

Bdd's team has a long-range advantage against a short-range opponent, but he is very clear about his role in this game: to push the lane and provide support.

As long as he doesn't actively engage in fights or kills, the chances of Taliyah being solo-killed by Irelia in the early game are extremely small.

On the players' bench, Bdd was still chewing his gum, his eyes fixed intently on Irelia.

Wang Yao also showed great understanding, not trying to steal lane control from Taliyah, while carefully controlling his positioning and cautiously dodging the occasional flying stone-piercing damage.

The bottom lane is actually the least peaceful.

At 1 minute and 58 seconds, Tahm Kench, in the bushes near the KZ turret, stuck out his tongue and licked Rakan. iboy and Meiko's teamwork was extremely seamless.

Almost the instant Tahm Kench licked up the item, EZ fired Mystic Shot in Rakan's direction!

Rakan got licked red by Tahm Kench, and then stunned on the spot with a Q.

EZ continued to deal damage, Meiko used Exhaust on Rakan, and Rat King was forced to use Heal to save GorillA!

This exchange of summoner spells put the KZ bot lane at a significant disadvantage. Rakan's health was extremely low, forcing him to stay in the back, which completely cost them the chance to reach level 2 first.

With the minions dematerialized by the two players, the EDG duo has established an early game rhythm, and the EZ strategy is progressing very smoothly.

Seeing this, Mao Kai and Zhu Kai, who were somewhat nervous, both breathed a slight sigh of relief backstage.

Their bot lane is crucial; they absolutely cannot afford any mistakes in the early game. iboy's Ezreal also plays a very important role in the mid-game.

KZ is certainly well aware of this.

After Peanut finished clearing the red buff and discovered that the F6 camp was gone, he headed straight for his own red buff.

He was able to predict Olaf's jungle movements.

If they swap jungle camps with Olaf in this wave, they won't be able to protect the bottom half of the map, and the two Elder Titans will be under even greater pressure.

After he finishes clearing his own red buff, Olaf will be forced to farm the river crab in the top half of the map. This strong early-to-mid-game champion cannot afford to have his development delayed too much.

While doing this, Peanut was also communicating with Khan, saying, "Olaf is likely to appear in the top lane, so don't be too reckless and play cautiously."

Because on the top lane, Khan's Camille had already started a solo match with Jax, and the two were fighting fiercely.
