Chapter 324 Taking the Lead! SKT's Ace Makes its Debut!

"Nightmare immediately activated his ultimate, blocking all of the enemy's vision! The entire KT team panicked, but their formation remained intact! Hey! That's exactly what EDG wanted – a formation that doesn't break down!!" Miller shouted excitedly!

Ornn activates his ultimate ability, summoning a lava ram's head!

Nightmare transformed into a lone hero and charged into KT's formation. The reason he was so fearless was that a huge magic circle soon appeared under Nightmare's feet!
Galio's ultimate ability provides Nightmare with a layer of protection!
As Galio's ultimate ability landed, the hero made his appearance.

A purple figure swiftly arrived beside the KT members. At the same time, the Tyrant Mech Sword Demon once again floated in the air, carrying his giant sword and charging towards the crowd!
"Wow! An absolutely perfect 5-man engage composition! EDG's team fights are a sight to behold! KT is completely powerless against EDG's relentless engage; they're helpless!"

Wawa clenched his fist and shouted, "The Ziggs is dead, and Jayce can't escape either!! Securing this crucial dragon fight means EDG can declare victory!!"

EDG initiated such a perfect team fight.

KT didn't even have the chance to fight back; by the time the team fight ended, almost all of EDG's players were at full health.

Nightmare, who had just charged into the crowd, lost half of his health.

The awkward thing about the Poke system is that it's like a glass cannon; once it loses its overwhelming damage advantage, it shatters with a single charge.

After securing the crucial Baron Nashor in a team fight.

EDG went back to base to replenish their supplies, but this time EDG still wasn't in a big hurry!
Instead, they patiently waited for everyone's ultimate skills to be off cooldown before pushing forward again!
It was another perfect team fight, leaving KT with no chance to fight back!

Ultimately, EDG brought the game to a close at 25 minutes, taking the first game of the Rift Rivals Finals!

Watching the enemy's base crystal collapse with a roar, Wang Yao took off his headphones and let out a long sigh of relief.

There's some pressure, but not much.

The main reason is that KT is an opponent he has never encountered before, and KT has performed like a god of war when facing other LPL teams.

This made him look at KT with higher regard, after all, their roster was indeed star-studded, consisting of top-tier players with well-known reputations!

Judging from the results, the coaching staff of this team has problems. They have been playing the intercontinental competition for so long, yet they still stubbornly let Aatrox out.

They placed too much trust in their team members.

As a result, Wang Yao easily gained a huge advantage and quickly entered an invincible state of rampage.

Wang Yao was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had been so prepared, yet his opponent had already fallen before he had even exerted any effort.

"That's it, that's it!"

Saint Gunner grinned, "KT is no match either. Everyone says Mr. Dai is a priest, so I win. What is a priest??"

"You've got some nerve!!" Meiko chuckled. "You're asking for it! Watch out, or you'll get attacked by those dog lovers. I definitely won't stand up for you then."

"Hehehe, I didn't say anything."

The entire EDG team breathed a sigh of relief. Putting everything else aside, winning this match meant that even if they lost later, EDG wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.

Wang Yao quickly followed his teammates to the other side of the stage, where the entire KT team was already waiting for them.

When Scout shook hands with Wang Yao, he could only respond with a wry smile, saying, "Wang Yao, you're really amazing now."

He's already starting to miss the days when EDG's mid and bot lane duo was invincible last year.

Wang Yao and Scout gave each other a symbolic hug, then shook hands with everyone else before coming to the front of the stage and bowing deeply to the audience!
In an instant, the EDG team ignited the atmosphere at the scene, and the audience generously offered applause and cheers!
"EDG lived up to our expectations and didn't let us down! They've taken the lead for our LPL region! They've gained an early advantage in this battle for the championship!!"

Miller's excitement was palpable!
"Our region's top team has set a good example. Hopefully, the other teams will follow EDG's standard, okay?"

"We're going to win the Rift Rivals championship again! We'll defend the honor of our LPL as the number one region!" said the baby with a smile.

"LPL will win!!" Wawa really knows how to get the atmosphere going. Despite being often criticized for "always losing out" and only blindly praising popular teams, most viewers actually buy into his act.

He energized the atmosphere, pushing it to a new climax, with a unified chant of "LPL will win!!" ringing out!

When Wang Yao arrived at the passage, he ran into the RNG team who were about to take the stage. Xiao Hu looked a little grim.

He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Who is your opponent?"

Because of the tournament format, opponents are only announced close to the start of each match, so Wang Yao had no idea about the second round's matchups.

"SKT," Guo replied. "You watch from backstage as I completely dominate Black King's jungle! I'll set an example for the rest of us!"

Playing against SKT... No wonder Xiaohu looked so grim; he's Dafei's chosen son!

Wang Yao smiled and said, "Then good luck to you guys!"

After losing the first game, LCK will definitely send out the team most likely to win to win the game back, and SKT is undoubtedly the best choice.

After all, Lee Sang-hyeok has an absurdly high win rate against LPL teams. Almost all LPL mid laners are afraid of him, except for one reckless player, Xiye, who will fight him head-on whenever he sees him.

Back in the backstage lounge, the entire EDG team received a warm welcome.

After chatting for a while, everyone turned their attention back to the field.

To be honest, Wang Yao really hoped that RNG could win. That way, if either IG or RW cheered them on, they could finish the game 3-0 or 3-1, making things easier later on.

However, an unexpected incident still occurred on the field.

Lee Sang-hyeok once again picked Galio for mid lane in this version, while Xiaohu is still playing Ryze with his signature blue bald head.

The same hero, and the plot seems to have remained unchanged.

Nearly 2 spectators at the Dalian Sports Center once again experienced the same feelings as the audience at the Bird's Nest last year.

"Huh? How come Galio is everywhere!"

"Last year it was because Galio was too overpowered, so why is he still able to roam without taking damage this year?!"

In this game, Lee Sang-hyeok once again transformed into Leo, his presence felt throughout the entire match, single-handedly helping the team withstand the early and mid-game tempo.

Bang seemed to be thinking of a comment he made in an interview when he faced Uzbekistan.

'I've never lost to Uzbekistan.'

To avoid being hit by a boomerang.

He also showed strong competitive form. The two old men from the 96-line made a last-ditch effort to defeat RNG and tie the score at 1-1!

"Hilarious! GSL, speak up for me! Is this the eternal god?"

"Another priest today? Is the bath dog getting a new dad?"

"No? Doesn't anyone have anything to say about Xiaohu? This guy is too outrageous! He can't even control Galio with Ryze, and he's practically invisible the whole time."

"That's ridiculous! Without me, Xiaohu, this game wouldn't even have started. How dare you say I, Xiaohu, didn't contribute anything?!"

"..."
