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

Chapter 64: A perfect 60-win record in the group stage!

Amid cheers from the crowd, Wawa and Miller shouted, "Let's congratulate EDG team for achieving a 3-0 record in the first round of the group stage and currently ranking first in Group A!"

EDG's performance in the first round undoubtedly shocked esports players, with a perfect record of three wins, showcasing the style of the LPL's top seed team.

However, many domestic and international esports media outlets have questioned EDG's three-win record, saying that the opponents in Group A were too weak and had little merit.

Some League of Legends players firmly believe this and have also joined in the discussion about EDG's strength or weakness.

There have been a lot of haters for EDG since the team was founded, and now they are all jumping out to criticize them.

As online discussions raged, the second round of group stage matches quietly began.

According to the competition rules, during the four days of the second round, one final qualifying spot will be determined each day.

EDG team was scheduled for the first day.

On the eve of the match, Wang Yao and the EDG team members conducted a final tactical review.

Currently, among the three LPL teams, EDG and RNG maintain a perfect record of 3/0 in the first round, while WE is also doing well, with a 2/1 lead.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, WE should be able to advance to the knockout stage along with SKT from the same group.

However, the S7 World Championship is full of unpredictable possibilities, and in this situation, no one can guarantee that their team will make it to the quarterfinals.

However, in the three matches since the start of the S-series, EDG's strategy has been very clear, and the tactical system they have implemented has been very simple.

As long as they can maintain their position until the end of the group stage, Wang Yao is confident that he can put up a fight against any opponent in the subsequent knockout stage, no matter how strong they are. He has a rich tactical system.

Time quickly came to the 12th.

Today is undoubtedly an exciting day for EDG fans, who used to only be able to watch one EDG group stage match per day.

But today I got to watch three shows in a row.

At this moment, the Wuhan Gymnasium is filled with support signs for the EDG team, and all kinds of banners and glow sticks are being waved non-stop.

"This is the kind of prestige that LPL's number one seed team has!"

As he stepped onto the stage, A-Guang looked at the crowd of EDG fans and exclaimed with heartfelt emotion.

"If we lose today, it'll be a huge embarrassment," Meiko said from the side.

"Let Wang Yao carry the team this time," the factory manager said with a smile.

EDG's first match today is against TSM. TSM's current record in the group stage is 1/2, and their only opponent they defeated is FNC.

Today, their first opponent is EDG, which puts immense psychological pressure on the TSM players.

The draft phase of this match ended quickly.

TSM chose a relatively conventional lineup: Cho'Gath top, Sejuani jungle, Cassiopeia mid, and Tristana and Lulu bot lane.

In contrast, EDG's lineup was quite novel, featuring Rek'Sai, Syndra, and Ashe and Leona in the bot lane.

When EDG picked Karma as their last pick for the top lane, the second seed from Europe, Team Rabbit, was completely dumbfounded.

This is our reserve tactic!

Why would EDG use this?
In a meta where everyone prioritizes enchanter supports, Team Rabbit is one of the few teams that continues to develop hard support roaming strategies.

However, they did not completely abandon the Ardent Censer item. After getting a tanky support in the bot lane, they would try their best to get Karma in the mid lane to provide the AD carry with the Ardent Censer.

Karma mid lane paired with a tanky support roaming is the Rabbit Team's secret weapon.

"It's probably just a coincidence, nothing serious."

MSF Rabbits' coach waved his hand, "Relax, we have more than just this one set of tactics in our repertoire. Even if they know this set, it doesn't matter."

The match between EDG and TSM didn't last long. After picking up Karma, A-Guang in the top lane used his RQ bomb poke to make life difficult for the enemy Cho'Gath.

Karma's attack range isn't short, and her power is comparable to Jayce's; a full combo can really hurt.

In this match, Wang Yao's Ashe mainly served as the team's initiator, randomly drawing a lucky player as soon as her ultimate R was ready.

Scout's Syndra ultimately finished the game with a score of 7/1/2 and was awarded MVP of the match.

Bjergsen, who was matched up against Scout, actually performed quite well, but compared to the more in-form EDG team as a whole, he could only accept the first defeat in the second round of the group stage with tears in his eyes.

Then came FNC's explosive performance.

After losing three games in the first round, they were like gods of war in the second round, first defeating AHQ Taiwan team and then TSM.

Thus, with only one match remaining in the second round of Group A's group stage, the overall scoreline took an unexpected turn.

EDG: 5/0, ranking first in the group stage, securing a spot in the quarterfinals.

FNC is in second place with a score of 2/3, having played one less game, while AHQ and TSM are in second place with a score of 2/4.

This means that the crucial point between EDG and FNC will determine the last quarter-final spot in Group A.

If FNC can defeat EDG, they will advance to the quarterfinals; otherwise, they will have to stay and play overtime!
The commentators, Wawa and Miller, were all smiles. EDG performed perfectly in the second round of the group stage today, showing no signs of disappointment.

Regardless of the outcome of the final match, EDG has already secured the top spot in the group stage.

As LPL commentators, they naturally hoped that EDG could achieve a perfect 6-0 record and advance to the next round!
"No LPL team has ever advanced to the knockout stage with a perfect record in the group stage before this. Today, EDG has the potential to make history."

Miller remarked on stage.

"FNC's performance is starting to improve today. I wonder if EDG can find a way to deal with FNC's counterattack."

In the final match of Group A, both sides made their draft picks very quickly.

EDG, on the blue side, had Mouse pick Renekton, Elise in the jungle, LeBlanc in the mid lane, and Wang Yao in the bot lane once again picked Draven, paired with Meiko's Janna.

The red team, FNC, has a top laner Trundle, a jungler Olaf, a mid laner Orianna, and a bot lane duo of Sivir and Karma.

Game time is 4 minutes.

The troll was tower-dived and killed by the crocodile and the spider.

Although Olaf arrived in the top lane in time, Clearlove used a perfect Q-Smite on a minion and then used Q again, creating distance with two Q skill dashes.

The synergy between Spider Queen's Q skill and Smite was mastered by Clearlove.

"The factory manager's spider play was really impressive!" Wawa exclaimed.

If the target dies while Spider Queen is in mid-air during her Q skill, then the Q skill will not go on cooldown.

This way, the factory manager can use his Q skill to reposition himself and create distance from Olaf who is coming to the scene.

A little over 11 minutes.

The factory manager went to the bottom lane to gank, but was counter-ganked by FNC's jungler Olaf.

However, the factory manager did not retreat, but instead risked his life to tank the tower, creating an opportunity for Wang Yao's Draven to kill Sivir.

Swish!
When Draven's flying axe shattered Sivir's health bar and he received the passive bounty, Clearlove revealed a wicked smile.

This is the treatment he receives as the AD carry for EDG!

After Wang Yao returned to base, he could immediately buy his first major item, thus establishing Draven's snowball advantage!
