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

Chapter 589 A Do-or-Die Game! FPX Bets on Heaven! EDG Unleashes Rengar!
However, FPX is not only using picks instead of bans, but also choosing to trust the players' performance in their draft strategy.

That's just how it is sometimes.

Even in professional games, some players' signature heroes are enough to allow them to ignore the current meta and achieve the desired results.

As a player who excels at playing Qiyana, Coach WarHorse chose to trust Xiaotian in this crucial game.

"Then EDG should take Syndra directly, and on the second floor, they can try to pick Rakan... Wow! Jayce! FPX chose to trust their players, so EDG will also choose to trust their players!"

On the first and second floors of the red team, EDG almost instantly locked in Syndra and Jayce, securing strong champions for their mid and top laners.

I have to say is.

Jayce, although he has hardly ever been the meta pick, is a consistent carry pick in almost every World Championship.

"In that case, FPX, you really have to pick Rakan this time. If you don't, he will definitely be banned or picked. Sure enough, you picked Rakan, and then Doinb picked Galio on the third floor."

"EDG can pick up Xayah or Gragas on the third floor. If you don't pick them up here, your options will be limited later."

"Actually, I think Xayah is also a good option, but it depends on EDG's lineup composition."

Just as the commentator was speaking.

EDG has already locked in Xayah on the third floor.

With this, the first round of business banning (BP) ends, and the second round of BP begins.

"FPX, keep banning Jarvan IV and Gragas. This is to lock down Kshine's choices."

"EDG also banned Rumble and Kai'Sa, locking out FPX's mid and top lane flex picks and AD carry champion options."

Entering the selection stage.

On the player bench.

Meiko turned to look at Wang Yao not far away, her expression hesitant: "Brother Yao, are you really going to take it?"

Wang Yao nodded matter-of-factly: "Take it, you've practiced for so long, why not take it?"

Coach Maokai nodded in agreement, "Take it."

"Row."

iboy took a breath and pressed the lock button.

At the same time, an unexpected avatar lit up on the fourth floor of EDG.

"Sun Girl!!"

For a moment, all three commentators in the commentary booth widened their eyes, their expressions showing a hint of astonishment.

"Forehead!"

Miller composed himself and said with a strange look in his eyes:
"To be honest, the draft picks in this game were completely beyond my expectations. It felt like both sides were playing their last game and were pulling out all the stops."

"really."

Wawa nodded in agreement: "It reminds me of the EDG vs. Griffin game, where the draft picks of both teams were completely unpredictable."

"But it's still understandable. Leona is actually quite effective against Rakan's engage. If she gets caught, she can be controlled to death with a QAE combo!"

"To be honest, that move by the Japanese player was quite impressive!"

In short.

After EDG picked their fourth pick, it was FPX's turn to pick their fourth and fifth picks.

However, everyone on the FPX player bench was a bit confused at this moment.

At this moment, they were all in a brief state of stagnation, and the selection of people on the fourth and fifth floors was delayed.

Looking at the player bench in the lower left corner of the big screen, the communication between the FPX players has clearly become somewhat choppy.

They clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Ultimately, perhaps feeling that EDG's pick was too focused on Rakan, FPX opted for a more conservative approach.

Before the countdown ended, they locked in top lane Gnar and Ezreal.

In the last game, GimGoon's Gangplank was completely crushed by EDG. This time, FPX really doesn't dare to let GimGoon play Gangplank again, after all, Flandre is playing Jayce this game.

Picking Gnar to hold his own in the top lane is already pretty good.

As for the bot lane AD carry, without Kai'Sa, the only option is the meta-versus-version Ezreal. In this game, Xiaotian's Qiyana is the core, and if the bot lane can add some damage, that would be considered a success.

"cough!"

At this moment, Miller, back in the commentary booth, cleared his throat and said, "As for the last pick, EDG has many options for the jungler, but to coordinate with the overall lineup..."

"I feel like it would be safer to pick a front-line initiator champion, but right now the most suitable champions, Gragas and Jarvan IV, are both banned, so picking Lee Sin doesn't feel right."

Just talking.

An even more unexpected profile picture lit up on the fifth floor of EDG!

"what???"

This time, Miller couldn't hold back any longer and uttered a profound question.

At the same time, a series of wild, hero-specific lines also rang out.

"Tonight! Hunt to your heart's content!"

Yes!

Rengar – the Lion Dog!

"emmmmm..."

In the commentary booth, the child pondered for a long time, and finally, as if he had thought of something, tentatively said:
"Isn't this Rengar a bit too daring? Yao is probably the first player to bring out Rengar in this year's World Championship!"

Miller and Longhair glanced at him, nodded silently in agreement, and said nothing.

They've never seen anyone play with a poodle this year!
In the final moments of the finals, EDG surprisingly picked such an unexpected jungler for the counter-pick position.

However, sometimes reality is just that surprising.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the five EDG players swapped positions on the big screen.

For a moment, the entire commentary booth fell into a brief silence.

But in any case, the lineups for both sides are now fully formed!
FPX, the blue side, has Gnar in the top lane, Qiyana in the jungle, Galio in the mid lane, and Ezreal and Rakan in the bot lane.

EDG (Red Team): Top lane Jayce, Jungle Rengar, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane duo Xayah and Leona.

Meanwhile, several commentators were also seriously analyzing the lineups of both sides.

To help the audience better understand the game.

It's safe to say that this match was far more exciting than the previous three!
Just by watching the duel between Qiyana and Rengar, you can tell how brutal the early game is!

As everyone knows, Kshine has a very deep champion pool.

Moreover, many cutting-edge technologies that had not appeared on the field before were used in this World Championship.

Today, this Lion Dog move has absolutely shocked everyone!

However, when facing Xiaotian's Qiyana.

It definitely felt like a desperate gamble.

It's worth noting that Qiyana is one of Xiaotian's signature champions.

He has used this hero many times in ranked matches.

Wang Yao's choice of the Lion Dog was even more extreme.

Although EDG's lineup has Leona as a frontliner.

However, the heroes in the other lanes are just too fragile.

Aside from Leona, as long as Xiaotian's Qiyana gets an opportunity, he can use his WQ skill to control and instantly kill someone.

Then it will be very difficult for EDG to win team fights in the future.

Furthermore, there's also the option of Galio coordinating with Rakan's entry into the fray.

FPX's team fights are absolutely explosive!

The lineup has a high margin for error.

Just looking at the synergy between the mid and jungle in the early game, it's clear that they are much stronger than EDG.

If Qiyana really does set the pace for the entire match.

With Galio on the team, FPX's side lane development is very safe.

On the other hand, let's look at EDG's lineup.

It's really hard to put into words.

Because of the presence of a skilled Leona player, EDG's lineup is barely passable.

Top lane Jayce, jungle Rengar, mid lane Syndra.

This top, mid, and jungle setup clearly indicates an intention to play an aggressive early-to-mid-game offensive style.

Later on, they can only rely on Kasumi.

Therefore, Xia's development is still necessary.

Otherwise, EDG's lineup would be completely unable to compete in the later stages.

At the same time, iboy must always be careful about his positioning.

If you're not careful, you might get rooted by Qiyana's Q, pushed away by her ultimate, or controlled by Rakan's initiation.

It's very possible that you won't even be able to use your skills before being instantly killed.

Just as the commentators were analyzing the lineups of both sides...

The two coaches had already left the competition area and came to the center of the stage to exchange fist bumps.

He then returned to the backstage lounge.

Meanwhile, the countdown to the game had entered its final second.

The next second, the director's camera switched.

The screen then transitioned to the game loading screen.

Then, the scene shifts again.

Summoner's Rift then came into view.

Five enormous white beams of light shone from the springs in both bases!

Subsequently, all ten players from both sides appeared in their own springs.

"Now that both sides' heroes have taken their positions, it means that the fourth match between the two sides has officially begun!"

The doll couldn't help but say.

"Yes."

Miller nodded, his voice filled with enthusiasm:

"To our viewers here and in the live stream, this is the fourth game of the 2019 League of Legends World Championship, between EDG and FPX."

"EDG currently holds two match points. They only need to win one more game to lift the championship trophy they have worked hard for all year and become the second team in League of Legends to win three championships."

"At this moment, whether you are a fan of FPX or EDG, here we all share one common title—League of Legends players!"

"Please give the ten contestants on stage a round of applause and cheers, okay?!"

As the child finished speaking passionately, the cheers from the audience suddenly rose.

"Ahhhhh!!"

"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

"EDG, go for it!!"

"Go FPX!!"

"Go, go, go!"

"One more win and we've won!" "..."

The cheers from the audience were deafening.

It looked as if it was about to turn the entire Paris stadium upside down.

Similarly, the viewers in the live stream were not to be outdone.

In the live stream, the screen was filled with messages like "Go EDG!" and "Go FPX!"

The live stream organizers also had ulterior motives.

All you need to do is type 'EDG fighting!' in the public chat.

The comments will instantly turn into red text.

If you type "FPX fighting!" in the chat, the chat will turn blue.

However, it is clear that there are more red bullet comments, after all, the temptation of a three-peat is too important for both EDG and LPL!
Meanwhile, on the field...

The ten players from both sides have already purchased their equipment as quickly as possible.

They all charged aggressively towards their respective areas like wild horses.

FPX grouped up and headed straight for EDG's red buff in the upper jungle.

On the other hand, EDG also had the idea of ​​a level 1 team fight.

The five players went directly to the buff area in FPX's lower jungle.

Both sides were planning a level 1 team fight invasion.

But the difference is.

There was no direct confrontation between the two sides.

FPX clearly intends to swap jungle camps.

"Huh? Both sides are trying to launch a level 1 team fight invasion in this match. It seems like there's a lot of tension between them."

The doll watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but say something.

"Yes."

Miller nodded: "Xiaotian was clearly playing more aggressively after getting Qiyana compared to the last game!"

"Besides, top lane is Gnar, so we don't need to worry about him much. On the contrary, we must ensure Ezreal's development in the bottom lane. If he gets ganked by Rengar at level three, it will be a real problem."

"Yes, Xiaotian's opening strategy is indeed good! Anyone who has watched EDG's matches knows that they always focus on the top, mid, and jungle."

"Xiaotian's opening strategy can obviously perfectly avoid direct confrontations in the upper jungle."

"After all, EDG's mid and top laners were very strong in the early game."

Longhair spoke eloquently.

At this moment, in the game.

At 1 minute and 38 seconds, the monsters respawned.

After the level 1 team fight ended inconclusively, both sides opted to exchange jungle camps.

On FPX's side, Qiyana, with Gnar's help, chose to start with red buff.

Then follow the jungle route of Krugs, Blue Buff, Gromp, and Rift Scuttler.

Meanwhile, Rengar started with red buff thanks to the help of the bot lane duo.

Take the route: Stone Beetle, F6, River Crab, Blue Buff, Toad.

In this way, the Lion Dog gained a set of neutral monsters.

Moreover, with the help of the duo lane, the refresh rate is faster than Qiyana's.

Because the two sides exchanged jungle areas.

Therefore, EDG's bot lane Xayah and Leona became more cautious upon entering the lane.

He deliberately let the minion wave pass by, so that he could avoid being ganked by Qiyana.

"Well, to put it bluntly, this match is really a contest between the top, mid, and jungle players. The side with the better rhythm will have a greater chance of winning."

Taking advantage of the relatively calm situation on the field, Wawa quickly provided commentary.

"Yes, we still need to see the rhythm of the first wave to see which side will gain the upper hand first."

"Xiaotian is very experienced. By swapping jungle camps, he can not only protect his own bot lane from ganks, but also defend against Rengar's invasion. It's a win-win situation!"

"You're right!"

Longhair nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, in the game...

Both sides engaged in extremely aggressive trades across all three lanes!

It's obvious that this match will be extremely bloody!

However, although both sides are fighting each other very frequently.

However, no kills were recorded in the first four minutes.

The exchange of kills on both sides is undoubtedly an attempt to create opportunities for their own jungler to gank.

However, both sides displayed excellent anti-gank awareness in this match.

Moreover, the minion waves were all placed under their own tower.

They don't give the enemy jungler any angle to gank at all.

At this point, both mid laners were severely weakened after the exchange of blows.

After Syndra pushed the minion wave first, she decisively chose to return to base to replenish her resources.

Meanwhile, Galio on the other side quickly returned to base after clearing the minion wave.

However, when they reconnected, neither of their mid laners went to their respective mid lanes.

Instead, they headed towards their respective top and bottom lanes.

At the same time, both junglers were heading in the same direction as their mid laners.

"Oh? It seems like the first wave of trouble is about to begin on both sides!"

"FPX's Qiyana and Galio are preparing to gank Jayce in the top lane, while Rengar and Syndra are heading to the bottom lane to take down FPX's bot lane duo!"

Seeing what was happening on the field, the doll immediately said.

"That's right, let's see how things develop on both sides."

The sudden change on the field caught even the commentators off guard.

"How so? This Jayce has reached level five. Even with his E skill, it's still a bit difficult for him to escape when surrounded by three enemy players."

"Moreover, looking at EDG's bottom lane, it doesn't seem easy to gank them either! Rakan's counter-attack ability is very strong! Ezreal's two summoner spells are still available."

Miller said with some concern.

As the commentators analyzed the situation, the hearts of the viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room were filled with suspense.

In this match, the first bursts of momentum for both sides erupted almost simultaneously.

However, unlike EDG, EDG chose to attack the opponent's bottom lane.

Firstly, it's because of the previous swap of jungle areas.

Secondly, the Japanese heroine has good initiation ability and tankiness, making it relatively easy for her to tower dive.

If they can get past Lin Weixiang in this wave, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to FPX's bot lane!

However, EDG's lineup is very extreme.

Although Leona in the bot lane has a lot of crowd control, this tower dive is still risky.

After all, the control of the Japanese woman is not particularly stable.

It's easy for EZ to dodge it with positioning or Flash.

Unlike Titan, who can be controlled to death by flashing, auto-attacking, and then using Q.

With a very stable control chain, even if the opponent has Flash, they will still lose their life.

Therefore, Meiko's performance as the Japanese hero is crucial!

On the other hand, FPX chose to focus their attention on Flandre.

For EDG's lineup, Jayce's early-game development is crucial.

Therefore, FPX seized on this point and prepared to attack Jayce in the top lane.

Tens of thousands of spectators watched the scene unfold with bated breath.

But the EDG players on the field couldn't care less about that anymore.

At this moment, Rengar and Syndra used the Blast Cone to launch themselves into the bushes near the Krugs in FPX's lower jungle.

And the same.

On FPX's side, Qiyana also flanked and cut off the minion wave behind Jayce.

Meanwhile, Galio walked straight out of the tri-bush in EDG's top lane.

They planned to forcefully push the minion wave forward before engaging Jayce.

The minion wave was about to reach the tower.

This 3v1 gank initiated by FPX is about to begin!

Watching this scene unfold, countless LPL fans held their breath, fearing that Flandre would be eliminated.

It's worth noting that Flandre died in this round.

That had a significant impact on EDG's early game rhythm.

"Look at this wave, Jayce traded health very aggressively in the early game, and his condition isn't good right now!"

"It seems like there's no chance for them to make a move. Qiyana and Galio's tower dive is too much for them to handle!"

Seeing the situation on the field, the baby suddenly wailed.

"Yes."

Miller nodded helplessly:

"This top lane Jayce is probably going to die, so our focus should be on whether EDG's four-man gank on the bottom lane will succeed."

"If they don't manage to kill this EZ, EDG's early game rhythm will collapse."

As the commentators were speaking, on the field...

FPX's bot lane duo saw Xayah, who had been controlling the lane and farming, and Leona suddenly pushed the lane aggressively.

Having learned his lesson from being caught, Lin Weixiang also sensed the danger.

He decisively chose to follow Liu Qingsong's Luo and retreated to his own defensive tower.

But it's too late to realize it now.

Rengar and Syndra have circled around behind FPX's bottom lane turret, cutting off the minion wave.

"We need to act quickly! Qiyana and Galio are already preparing to go into the tower!"

"If we don't make a move before the enemy dives the top lane, Galio and Gnar can teleport to the bottom lane after FPX kills Jayce!"

The doll exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with anxiety.

no way.

This wave started almost simultaneously from both sides.

EDG absolutely must complete this four-man gank on the 2nd lane before FPX can dive the top lane.
