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

Chapter 369 A desperate battle! This trip will determine the victor!

Hearing this, Lee Sang-hyeok felt somewhat bitter.

As he gets older, he does feel increasingly powerless; tasks that he used to be able to complete easily now require a lot of effort.

Just like in the last game, the frequent screen switching caused my concentration to be lost, which gave the opponent an opportunity to counterattack. This would have been impossible in the past.

KkOma ultimately understood his disciple, so he took the initiative to relieve Lee Sang-hyeok of his burdens, allowing him to fight with a lighter load!
"Sang-hyeok! Although your age has diminished your dominance, you still need to show the young man opposite you that challenging your throne is no easy task."

"Ah."

Lee Sang-hyeok nodded. He took a deep breath and secretly vowed to settle the score with Wang Yao in the middle lane!
And the other side.

The CN team members were overjoyed, especially Uzi, as everyone present had impressive championships and honors to their name.

Mala Xiangguo had already won a league championship with Xiaohu in the Spring Split of S6, and Tianye also has no shortage of league championships. As for Shi Senming, he has only been in the industry for a little over a year, so no one would bother to argue with him.

Only Uzbekistan.

Having debuted at the end of Season 2, aside from the Intercontinental Championship, his only notable honor is probably the mini-Season 'S' Championship.

He desperately wanted this gold medal to fill his honor roll, at least to make his career resume less shabby.

He can't possibly have the title of 'World's Best ADC, as certified by fans' as the only honor he can have after retiring.

That would be so awkward. It would be better to just put a flowerpot in the cabinet behind you, like people do.

"Gold medal! Gold medal!!" Uzbekistan exclaimed, slightly excited.

Abu rolled his eyes at him. "The match isn't officially over yet. Don't get too excited. The more crucial the game, the more you need to stay calm. If you're too impulsive, you'll just give the opponent an opportunity."

"Yeah, Jian Zihao, the enemy is ganking bot lane at level 2 this game, so don't fall for it again."

Guo's well-timed witty remark made Uzi's face turn quite red, but thinking about the gold medal that was about to be won, he simply kept quiet.

He could only nod and say, "Don't worry, the same tricks won't work on me!"

"Really?" Teacher Guo asked with a playful smile, almost making Uz completely shut down.

Fortunately, Wang Yao spoke up in time, "Alright, alright, the other side will definitely fight to the death, so we do need to be careful."

"However, there is no need for everyone to be under too much pressure. The margin for error is in our hands. We have two match points. Even if we lose one match, we can still continue to compete for the gold medal."

"On the contrary, the South Korean team on the other side has no room for error. If they lose the game, they will have to swim back to South Korea. The pressure is definitely on them!"

The group returned to the players' seats at the front, chatting and laughing.

Soon, with the staff's prompting, both parties put on headphones and quickly entered the business pairing (BP) phase.

Both teams' first three bans were quite consistent. The Korean team banned Rakan, Camille, and Shen, while the CN team banned Taliyah, Akali, and Jayce!
"The Korean team chose Irelia, which is normal. With Fiora as a backup, no matter how Aatrox moves in the mid and top lanes, the Korean team can deal with Aatrox very well."

This is where the blue side has an advantage, after the CN team chose Aatrox + Kai'Sa.

The Korean team picked Tahm Kench and Ezreal, while the Chinese team chose Nocturne as their last pick!
The two sides entered the second round of ban/pick. The CN team did not choose to ban Fiora, but instead banned Xin Zhao and Trundle.

The Korean team banned Gangplank and Ornn. The Chinese team, however, immediately picked Galio!

"Huh? They're picking Galio for Kshine again? It's good for pairing with Nocturne's engage, but the laning phase might be tough. How does Galio lane against Irelia?"

Miller raised his own doubts.

But that's exactly what happened on the field.

"Huh? The Korean team didn't pick Fiora, but instead picked Vladimir, and then Sejuani. Let's see what our last pick will be?"

"Ryze? This... how exactly are we supposed to split the lanes?"

After a series of flashy substitutions by both sides, the lineups are as follows.

The blue team, the Korean team, has a top laner Vladimir, a jungler Sejuani, a mid laner Irelia, and a bot lane duo of Ezreal and Tahm Kench.

The red team, CN, has Ryze in the top lane, Nocturne in the jungle, Aatrox in the mid lane, and Kai'Sa and Galio in the bot lane!
"The lineups for both sides have been officially finalized. Everyone, raise your hands and lend your energy to our players on the field!!" Wawa added an awkward moment.

The Korean team did indeed come up with a very strong team fight system, but unfortunately they didn't have enough bans in the first three picks to ban Tahm Kench.

This significantly reduces the effectiveness of Nightmare + Galio.

As for actively picking Aatrox in the mid lane, it was intentional on Wang Yao's part. One of the mid or top lanes was destined to suffer a loss, and he chose to bear that pressure himself so that Flandre could have a better laning phase.

At the start of the game, the Korean team played quite aggressively because Nightmare lacked ganking ability in the early game.

Although Sejuani's ganking ability before level 6 is only so-so, it is undoubtedly much stronger than Nocturne's.

At 5 minutes, he helped Vladimir force Ryze in the top lane to use Flash.

The first turning point came when, around the 7-minute mark, Nightmare came to the mid lane to help Aatrox with a gank.

The two tanked the tower perfectly and managed to kill Irelia, although Sejuani came to support and used her ultimate to forcefully kill Nocturne.

However, with the first blood going to Aatrox, the CN team still came out ahead in this kill exchange.

Then comes the advantage of the lineup.

Peanut never dreamed that Teacher Guo, playing Nightmare, would forcibly invade his jungle to steal jungle camps. Only when a huge magic circle appeared on Nightmare did he realize what was going on.

Galio in the bottom lane used his ultimate!
The CN team's global support system was very well implemented. What surprised him even more was that, even though they were fighting in their own jungle, the CN team arrived faster.

Even the mid-lane Irelia couldn't suppress Aatrox!
As a result, Sejuani was caught and killed in the jungle. With the jungler gone, the CN team could directly take the Rift Herald!
Because they believe that the opposing team is one person less and therefore unlikely to engage in team fights, the Korean team will carefully consider not engaging in team fights with a 50/50 advantage, or even a 60/40 advantage.

However, Wang Yao and others underestimated the determination of the South Korean team!
"Huh? Are Irelia and Vladimir going to force a team fight? With the Rift Herald's help, they actually seem to have a chance?"

"R-Flash! Irelia R-Flash hits three people! Wow! Faker is back to his peak performance in Season 3. He prayed to the gods, and the answer he received was his Season 3 self!!"

Miller's impromptu remark ignited the audience's enthusiasm.

Irelia quickly stacked her passive in the crowd and also used the QEQ combo very discreetly, pulling Ryze and Nocturne with Twin Blades.

The vampire charged straight in with his ultimate, then started charging up his E skill!
