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

Chapter 318 Tian Ji's Horse Racing? Whatever, I'll make my move!

There was also a striking comment in Khan's rating post.

"Tell me! Can five Chinese players win the game?"

The only pity is that the content creators may still be busy and haven't been able to immediately copy the comments from the Korean websites.

After reading through the comments section, Wang Yao refocused his attention on the match.

However, the match between the LCK and LMS regions is really not very interesting.

Just then, a sudden turn of events occurred, with the LMS team G-rex unexpectedly defeating the LCK team Africa.

This actually does LPL a huge favor, as LPL now has a perfect record of four wins against LMS regions.

However, they finished with a 3-1 record against LCK. If LCK also wins all four matches against LMS, the two sides will need to play a tiebreaker to compete for the top spot in the group.

It's better now.

LPL赛区以7-1的成绩稳居第一，而LCK的战绩则是4-4，LMS略显寒酸，1-7。

The LPL region advanced directly to the finals as the top seed in their group.

LCK will face off against LMS in the semifinals.

However, subsequent events proved that the loss was due to the African team's carelessness.

In the semi-finals, the barbecue stall, which was supposed to be the last one standing, didn't even get a chance to play.

LCK swept LMS 3-0 to advance to the finals!
The Asian Games have become a true China-South Korea showdown!

Having lost the protection of the Dou Di bloodline, no one knows what the LMS region will ultimately become.

But who cares? Everyone's attention is focused on the upcoming finals.

With this team competition format, the final outcome is still unknown!
The night before the finals.

All four teams gathered together to discuss their order of appearance for tomorrow.

The intercontinental competition format only gets interesting when it reaches the knockout stage, at which point the order of appearance will be disrupted, and it will no longer be the first place playing against the first place, or the second place playing against the second place.

The competition zones can arrange their own schedules, and neither side knows which team will be playing before the official start of the competition.

This gives both regions room to compete, and also gives the weaker region a chance to win.

Who in the East Asian cultural sphere doesn't know the story of Tian Ji's horse race? Trading a inferior horse for a superior one is a huge win.

Despite the numerous honors won by the LPL region this year, including the S7 World Championship and the S8 MSI Championship, these are all highly prestigious honors!

But upon closer inspection, a conclusion will emerge!
Wang Yao was present at almost every championship-winning event, except last year when he played ADC for EDG.

This year, he played mid lane for EDG, but he was always 100% involved in team fights, acting as a frontline reporter, always bringing the latest news of their championship victory to the audience.

Despite the fierce online discussions and constant claims that LPL is the world's number one region, there are quite a few people who actually believe it.

Actually, it's not LPL that's strong, it's Wang Yao who's strong!

"How should we arrange it?" Abu spoke first. "Who will play the first match tomorrow?"

"Normally, the strongest team will be fielded in the first match to try and win the first prize."

But then Abu changed his tone, "I'm afraid the LCK doesn't think that way."

This is the most interesting part of the competition format; both coaching teams have to rack their brains to figure out how to counter the other's strategy.

Nobody wants to be taken advantage of.

"My opinion is that RW has a unique hero pool, and they might be able to come up with some unexpected strategies to win against their opponents. If they play EDG in the second game and win two games in a row, their opponents will collapse!"

Abu shared his thoughts.

It's no wonder that Abramovich's speaking skills have improved since he became the head coach of the Asian Games.

High EQ: Unique hero pool, capable of coming up with unexpected strategies. Low EQ: You guys are the worst, just go in and get yourself killed.

If you openly say that RW is the weakest and is used as a low-tier horse to trade for the opponent's high-tier or mid-tier horse, the opponent may not be able to refute it, but they will definitely be very unhappy.

If you put it another way, people will feel much better.

That's the art of language.

“We’re fine.” Poison Coin nodded.

This suggestion was echoed by several other teams, and Abu continued, "IG should play third, let the more stable RNG hold back."

The first is RW, the second is EDG. The worst-case scenario is a 1-1 draw, because it's assumed that EDG can beat any Korean team and reliably get a point.

There are essentially two possibilities.

If RW wins, they'll have a 2-0 lead; if IG wins, they'll have a 3-0 lead.

If the score is 1-1, IG will win, and the pressure will be on RNG, since if RNG fails to win, the two teams will have to play a tiebreaker.

But if RNG loses, then it's all over. The audience will definitely criticize RNG for losing the crucial game, and they will bear most of the criticism.

The atmosphere quickly became tense, with each club having its own calculations.

In this uncertain situation where a victory is assured, everyone is trying to minimize the impact of losing the game.

If you don't want to take the blame, then someone else has to.

Why go through all that trouble?

Wang Yao was too lazy to deal with all the complicated stuff with this group of people. "Why don't we let EDG take the lead? Winning the first game will definitely boost everyone's morale, and the players who come on later won't be under as much pressure."

"IG and RNG, you two should discuss who goes second and who goes third, and try to take them down in three games. If that doesn't work, we can always have a tiebreaker and we'll take over."

Wang Yao spoke with great confidence, mainly because he didn't want to waste too much time on such matters.

Even if you come up with some amazing research ideas, you still have to win by playing in competitions.

Tian Ji's horse racing strategy? Whatever, I'll make my move!

Do IG and RNG really dare to confidently say they can beat KZ, KT, SKT, or even an African team? Then why are they even worrying about the order of appearance?

It would be better to analyze the draft phase earlier, as that is the most crucial factor in helping the team achieve victory.

With a large number of heroes possessing flexible attributes this year, and these have been developed by professional teams, the importance of the draft phase has skyrocketed. In many cases, the outcome of the match is already largely determined after the draft phase is completed.

"How about this," Abu suggested, "IG will be second, and RNG third?"

RNG didn't refuse this time, tacitly agreeing that if EDG won the first game, even if both of their teams lost, it would still be 1-2, putting pressure on RW.

At worst, the three teams can just share the firepower.

RW is a team sponsored by Taiwanese capital and doesn't have much popularity.

The order of appearance was decided, and Maokai briefly talked about the priority of the draft, but he also emphasized that he was talking about the EDG lineup.

Wang Yao and Flandre can switch between three heroes—Irelia, Jayce, and Aatrox—but RNG and IG might not be able to do that.

On the contrary, RW can do it easily, after all, their mid laner Doinb has been playing warrior mid lane for a long time and has quite a bit of experience in this area.

The current BP logic.

The strategy revolves around switching between champions like Irelia, Jayce, Aatrox, and Swain to maximize your lane advantage and thus reduce the difficulty of winning the game.

The meeting lasted until almost midnight before it ended.

The players returned to their computers to play ranked games, trying to play as many games as possible before going to sleep to adjust their condition and feel for the game.
