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

Chapter 573 Match Point 2-0! DWG Fights for Their Lives! Yasuo and Lee Sin!
And on the field.

As the DWG players watched as Nidalee single-handedly killed their own ADC in front of their inhibitor turret, Nuclear donned the Mask of Pain.

Even though the game was already lost, they still had to fight!

Even if you lose, you must have this spirit of never giving up!

I can lose the game, but Nidalee must die!

Seeing this, the prince immediately used his EQ combo to engage, targeting the enemy Nidalee who was cutting into the enemy team!

Throughout the entire match, DWG has been completely dominated by this Nidalee player.

At this moment, it seemed as if they wanted to vent all their anger and dissatisfaction on this leopard woman.

Meanwhile, Minotaur and Galio were also on the same wavelength.

All skills were unleashed on Nidalee.

Even if using control skills repeatedly seems irrational, there's no time to worry about that at this point.

DWG's remaining four players focused their fire on Nidalee, trying to kill her instantly!

But how could that be?

Ding!
After Nidalee returned to base last time, even though she had a lot of gold, she didn't buy anything else except a Stopwatch!
With over twenty stacks of Mejai's Soulstealer, Nidalee's damage is sufficient; what's needed now is more leeway.

At this point, the stopwatch would display its immense value.

The sudden invulnerability allowed him to evade all of DWG's control and damage.

Meanwhile, the four members of EDG finally caught up with the pace.

Even the enemy ADC was instantly killed; now is the perfect time to unleash more damage.

The most anxious one was actually Scout's alligator.

He seemed to play a big role in this game, but in reality, he was just a tool throughout.

Throughout the entire game, it was Wang Yao's Nidalee who dictated the pace, while his Renekton only slightly pressured Galio in lane.

Moreover, after dying in the last team fight, his Renekton probably didn't even do as much damage as a tanky Ornn in the top lane.

So, since he couldn't use Flash last time, Scout flashed forward this time, activating his ultimate and plunging into the crowd.

Saint Gun's Ornn also immediately activated his ultimate ability.

A huge ram's head came from the void and crashed into the crowd.

2.5 seconds later, Nidalee recovered from her invulnerability.

Now that the leopard woman has evaded all control and damage, she transforms into a killer leopard once again.

He plunged back into the crowd.

"Lucian, the Purifier, has killed Alistar, the Minotaur Chieftain!"

"Renkon the Desert Butcher has killed Aatrox the Darkin Blademaster!"

"..."

As DWG crumbled, one corpse after another fell in front of the Crystal Base.

Only Canyon's prince, with his health severely depleted, returned to the fountain.

The next second, Nidalee switched to human form and threw another spear, aiming straight at the last prince!

The next second, the prince also collapsed to the ground!

"The Wild Huntress has killed the Demacian prince!"

"God-like!"

"Approaching godhood!!"

"ACE!"

"Total wipeout!!"

The death of the prince in this wave also signifies that EDG is about to win this game!
The final time was 25 minutes and 13 seconds.

DWG's Nexus base exploded.

EDG has secured match point in the S9 semifinals!
"2-0! Congratulations to EDG for winning another game and taking the match point!"

Miller in the commentary booth was overjoyed.

"EDG is leading DWG by a large margin! They are just one step away from the World Championship finals in Paris! After a year, the LPL region will once again face off in an internal battle on the World Championship stage!"

Colonel Guan's voice was equally excited.

The LPL fans who arrived at the scene were going wild. The entire Madrid stadium was filled with cheers and applause, and the applause and cheers of thousands of people merged into a wave of sound that swept the entire stadium, rising and falling continuously!
Everyone was cheering and shouting for this EDG team.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was flooded with messages, with countless messages filling the network channel.

"EDG! The eternal gods of the LPL! They utterly crushed Griffin and utterly destroyed the giant turtle. Who else can compare to them!"

What exactly constitutes the prestige of being the top seed in the LPL?

"What a top-tier professional player! He single-handedly carried his team all the way to the finals! This year's champion skin absolutely has to be Nidalee!"

"We said we'd win three consecutive championships, and we absolutely have to win three consecutive championships!"

"..."

On the EDG players' bench, everyone took off their headphones, their faces beaming with excitement and happy smiles.

With a score of 2-0, they have one foot in Paris and are just one step away from securing a ticket to the final!
This is the first time since the LPL was established, and the first time since EDG was founded, that a team has had the chance to achieve a three-peat!
Wang Yao also has the opportunity to become a three-time LPL champion, standing shoulder to shoulder with Faker, the Great Demon King.

Of course, Meiko and iboy, who play in the bot lane, have actually won about three championships, but everyone knows that this bot lane duo is just playing casually.

The real core is Wang Yao!

At this moment, Flandre and Meiko could not hide their excitement and stood up and jumped around excitedly. EDG, leading 2-0, had almost secured the final victory in the semifinals.

"Hahaha! We're heading into Paris!"

"You guys played amazingly well this game! Gunzi, you played Ornn really well, you even managed to hold your own against Nuguri!"

"Who does Niu Guli think he is! I'll beat anyone who comes!"

Saint Gunner let out a cheerful laugh and pulled Meiko and Wang Yao along.

"Calm down, there's still one more round."

Wang Yao, the captain of EDG, intervened in time to stop Meiko and Flandre from getting too excited.

He wouldn't dare to open the champagne until it was completely over.

"Alright, alright! Let's go back and talk about it later!"

When everyone returned to the backstage lounge, the MVP selection for the previous game was announced, and without a doubt, it was Wang Yao's Nidalee!
Pantheon, who led the team to victory, and Nidalee, who dominated the entire game, achieved brilliant results one after another. Wang Yao, who made some outstanding plays, won the MVP award twice in a row.

"Excellent! Everyone's performance in these two rounds was absolutely perfect!"

Manager Abu was so happy he could hardly contain himself; he really wanted to give each of the EDG players a Mua!

Given EDG's current hot streak, reaching the finals and winning the championship this year, achieving the first three-peat for the LPL, is really not a big problem!
"Everyone must stay calm and not relax. Let's take DWG 3-0! Let's make it to the finals together!"

Abramovich struggled to control his inner turmoil; he desperately wanted to pop open the champagne and celebrate, but he had to restrain himself, because anything is possible.

However, this is the year that EDG has come closest to a three-peat dynasty!

Once the championship is won, the amount of traffic and attention will be unprecedented!

At that time, it will surely be another e-sports craze that breaks through the circle, and a nationwide LOL League of Legends carnival!

If EDG can capitalize on this wave of attention and traffic, they will definitely receive a massive amount of commercial sponsorships once again.

With the money, EDG can maintain its current roster immediately, and at least Scout and Meiko will definitely renew their contracts.

The key is Wang Yao, whose contract is about to expire!

Once Wang Yao's contract with EDG expires, all LPL teams will definitely be willing to offer him an astronomical top salary to continue vying for his signature.

With money and a wealthy sponsor, EDG can easily retain this top-tier all-around player at the highest possible salary!

Most of the top salaries were paid by the sponsors, so the EDG owner didn't actually spend much money. Wow! This strategy is perfect!

Of course, the premise is that EDG must convince Wang Yao to stay with EDG, after all, with Wang Yao's hot streak, even the LCK might want to come and snatch him away.

They might even offer up club shares, just like EDG did!
"Don't be too nervous, DWG is already at its last gasp, just go all out and fight."

Coach Zhu Kai said with a smile.

In the third game, EDG will return to the blue side. In this version, the blue side has a higher win rate than the red side and has an advantage in bans.

DWG on the red side have to ban Kayle, ban Pantheon, and also be wary of Nidalee and Karthus.

With so few ban slots, DWG really doesn't have enough!
If DWG and EDG had picked their champions normally to fight, they might not have won a game. You have an advantage in the top lane against Flandre, but what about my jungle dominating Canyon in two consecutive games?
ShowMaker, if you dare to gank Khan in the top lane, I, Scout in the mid lane, will team up with Wang Yao to gank and cripple DWG's bot lane.

This version relies on the mid, jungle, and support to take over the game. Canyon, who can't beat Wang Yao in the jungle, is really not that great and can't change the course of the battle on his own.

In terms of the draft phase, DWG had run out of tricks up their sleeve. Their mid, top, and jungle players now seemed like a ridiculous joke. And just as Zhu Kai had predicted, the DWG rest room was now eerily silent; everyone was practically demoralized by the defeat.

Even BeryL, who is usually the calmest and most composed, was starting to lose her composure.

Before the semifinals began, they thought DWG would lose, but they didn't expect to lose so thoroughly and be completely crushed by EDG!
Although they are only the third seed in the LCK, they have won against many strong teams in the domestic league.

At the World Championship, they were completely crushed by EDG in two consecutive games, with no chance to fight back!
This is truly hard to accept for the DWG players who are so dominant in the LCK.

At this point, Kim Jung-joo, the head coach of DWG, could only step forward to comfort everyone, saying, "It was my mistake in the draft in the last game. We shouldn't have picked Jarvan IV."

Although it doesn't matter whether DWG picked Jarvan IV or not in the last game, even if the responsibility doesn't lie with the coach, Kim Jung-joo still has to take the blame first.

He has to make sure the players on the field don't lose their composure, otherwise DWG won't be able to win the third game!
"We'll play the normal draft and ban phase for the next game, and play it the way you normally would. I believe that as long as you keep a good mindset, you'll definitely be able to defeat them!"

Kim Jung-joo himself didn't quite believe what he said, but he had no choice. He couldn't just say that DWG was a pile of trash and swim back to their hometown.

Soon, the staff on site came to remind the DWG players to take the stage, and Kim Jung-joo could only place his hopes on the DWG players' self-adjustment.

As the team's coach, that's all he can do. He's used all the tricks he can in the draft phase, and if they can't beat him, there's nothing he can do.

"Now, in the third game, EDG is back on the blue side. Let's see if DWG on the red side can pull back a game and change the course of the match!"

As soon as Professor Guan finished speaking on stage, the business proposals (BP) between the two sides began.

EDG, now on the blue side, banned LeBlanc, Syndra, and Qiyana as usual.

In these few games, EDG has done a good job of limiting ShowMaker in the mid lane. For example, in the last game, they forced the opponent to pick Galio, a champion that is not very useful.

In the current version, playing AP carries in the mid lane is too slow and disrupts the game's tempo. Therefore, utility mid laners are more in line with the current meta. Banning LeBlanc and Syndra was to force ShowMaker to play utility mid laners.

Both mid laners should stall in their lanes until one of them dies, ideally remaining stationary like a ground spirit, making it easier for Wang Yao to invade the jungle and continue to thrash Canyon.

DWG, on the red side, following the current international convention, removed Kayle, Pantheon, and Wang Yao's Taliyah.

"Oh, DWG didn't ban Nidalee, which Kshine played exceptionally well in the last game. It seems they are confident in dealing with Nidalee."

"Yes, Nidalee's performance is quite dependent on the team composition. In the last game, DWG's mid and jungle lanes were relatively weak in the early game. If they are more cautious this game, Nidalee will definitely not perform as well as she did in the last game."

Miller's point is not without merit. After all, Nidalee is a champion with very obvious strengths and weaknesses, and she can easily be rendered useless if targeted.

As soon as the words were spoken, EDG locked in Kai'Sa, helping their bot lane get a popular AD carry in this patch.

DWG, on the other hand, surprised everyone by immediately fielding a strong mid-jungle combination of Yasuo and Lee Sin!

"Wow, DWG is really going all out against EDG. With these two picks, I feel like this match is going to be incredibly intense!"

Guan Daxiao spoke with an air of enjoying the show, saying that EDG had clearly angered the entire DWG team in the previous game, and this match would definitely be the most exciting of the series.

Faced with DWG's proactive move, EDG remained calm and countered by locking in Titan and Renekton.

Since the lineup from the previous game was effective, there's no need to make many changes; just lock in the Crocodile.

Besides, when Renekton fights Yasuo, it's like a father beating his son – a complete stomp!

DWG, on the other hand, locked in Xayah.

In the second round of the ban/pick phase, DWG banned Lucian and Elise, further limiting Wang Yao's champion pool.

And disable Flandre's signature Lucian to prevent Jayce from hard-countering Lucian in the top lane.

EDG chose to continue targeting ShowMaker, disabling his Ryze and Clockwerk.

When it was DWG's turn to pick first, they locked in Jayce, helping Nuguri get the top laner he wanted.

EDG, on the other hand, picked Ornn and Gragas!

In some ways, Gragas is quite effective at countering Lee Sin's engage, so picking him as a jungler is not a problem.

In the final counter pick, DWG gave BeryL Rakan, completing the Xayah-Rakan combo.

Ultimately, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

EDG (blue side) fielded Ornn (top), Gragas (jungle), Renekton (mid), and Kai'Sa and Nautilus (bot lane duo).

Red team DWG: Top lane Jayce, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Yasuo, Bot lane Xayah and Rakan!

As the game screen loaded, the commentators began to discuss it.

"Okay, the lineups for both sides are now locked in. To be honest, both sides got the lineups they wanted in this match's draft!"

"DWG has an advantage in all lanes except for Yasuo, who is countered."

"In addition, although Yasuo is countered by Renekton, the mid-jungle duo of Lee Sin is no worse than Gragas and Renekton, and the overall lineups of both sides are quite reasonable," Miller said.

"That's right, and Jayce really did give it to Nuguri, and the rune talent he gave him was indeed the Kleptomancy rune that steals money."

"Whether Flandre can withstand Nuguri's Jayce is also a key point in this game."

"If they can get five tower plates and steal two or three money bags in less than fourteen minutes, then EDG is probably doomed in this game."

“Yes, so both junglers need to make things happen in the early game.” Wawa nodded.

"Especially Gragas, his E-Flash gank at level 3 is much easier to execute than Lee Sin's. Kshine definitely won't let Jayce steal gold so easily!"

"Judging from the first two rounds, Kshine is still targeting Niu Guli."

"So I think the offensive pressure is still on DWG. Once EDG drags it into the mid-to-late game, I think EDG will have a better chance in team fights."

"Ornn, Gragas, and Nautilus are all great crowd control champions in team fights, and with Kai'Sa's late-game potential, it's easy for them to turn the tide even if they fall behind DWG in gold early on!"

"Indeed, especially since everyone has overlooked one point, iboy is in such great form right now!"

"In the last game, his Lucian used Flash to go forward and deal damage several times. In this game, his teammates have already set the stage for him, and he has a lot of room to perform."

During the countdown, Guan Daxiao and several other commentators analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both teams' lineups, as well as points to note.

After listening to this explanation, the audience gained a macro-level understanding of the overall situation of the match.

"Without further ado, let's begin the third match of the S9 semifinals between EDG and DWG! Will EDG overcome their formidable opponents to advance to the finals, or will DWG turn the tide? Let's wait and see!"

"Now, let's give our athletes the warmest applause and cheers, shall we?"

"Ahhh!"

Go DWG!

"Go EDG!"

"..."

As Miller's emotionally charged and impassioned commentary came to a close, the atmosphere in the room was once again stirred up.

Every viewer and fan who supports DWG or EDG, or even casual fans, unleashed unparalleled enthusiasm.

Everyone was shouting and cheering wildly for both teams.

The game has now finished loading.

The director's camera turned.

As ten white beams of light illuminated, the ten players from both sides were already in their respective fountains, ready to go.

After quickly buying their travel gear, everyone left the spring amidst cheers and shouts from the audience.

Immediately afterwards, they all rushed into their own jungle.

"Wow, the game has started! Both teams are leaving the fountain as fast as they can and heading straight for the jungle...wait, what?!"

"What does this mean? Is EDG trying to cause trouble?"

As soon as Colonel Guan finished speaking, the scene unfolded on the field.

Instead of spreading out and forming a long line to guard the jungle, EDG's five players grouped up and passed through the river bushes in the top lane jungle.

Then, with the scanner on, we made our way to the bushes at the mouth of the river on the upper road.

"Wow, they're trying to ambush! Looks like EDG did study DWG's positioning beforehand... But can they really ambush someone from this position?"

The child's spirits lifted as he watched the scene unfold.

"They're here! Someone's really here! This time, it's Niu Guli's Jess who's going to get hit!"

"Niu Guli is in big danger now."

EDG's lineup for this game is different from the previous two games; their previous lineups were very inconsistent in level 1 team fights.

However, EDG's lineup in this game has Titan, a powerful early-game teamfight weapon, in their lineup.

Furthermore, the crocodile and the grapes can form a control chain. As long as you seize the opportunity to use your Q to control someone, you may not be able to kill them, but you can at least force them to use Flash.

in the game.

The five EDG players are crouching in the bushes on the top lane.

at this time.

DWG used a standard formation, with all five players lined up in a long, straight line. Nuguri's Jayce went directly to the lane and then crouched in the bush.
