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

Chapter 657 Flowing Wind Restores Blood, Sword Qi Like a Rainbow! Four Consecutive Victories Against the Phoenix!
In the commentary booth, Wawa and Miller went completely wild.

The two never imagined that Wang Yao could find a way out of what they considered a hopeless situation!

"Graceful as a startled swan, swift as a swimming dragon, flowing like wind and swirling snow, sword energy like a rainbow!"

"Kshine just showed us what true mastery is!"

"That's right! The title 'Blade Dancer' is absolutely fitting! Kshine has brought out the best in Irelia!"

"World-class execution, a counter-attack method we never even imagined, it's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! This is what a four-time champion looks like!"

"I can't even count how many times he used his blade attack or how many times he went through walls. I can't even understand those maneuvers, but he actually pulled them off in a professional match!"

"EDG might be taking off again this year!"

"Kshine! What are your limits?!"

By the end of their shouting, both of them were out of breath.

Even so, they were still explaining Wang Yao's play just now.

The official live stream room was also filled with a flurry of comments.

Wow! That's awesome!

"That's not Irelia?! That's a Sword Immortal!!"

"So handsome! How can someone be this handsome?"

"He took on four opponents and got three of them killed. Does he even know how to play games?!"

"Dude, this isn't about whether you know how to play the game or not, it's about whether you can even play it at all?!"

"This is unplayable, absolutely unplayable! They already had a significant equipment lead, and after this triple kill, isn't Irelia just going to be unstoppable?"

"..."

Backstage, the RNG coaching staff and personnel were all completely bewildered.

Coach Tabe, who had always maintained a calm expression, couldn't help but furrow his brow at this moment.

Actually, RNG's performance in this game wasn't a big problem.

Xiaohu did get completely destroyed in the top lane, but that wasn't because he fed; it was because Kshine was too strong.

As for that wave just now.

RNG's handling of the situation was impeccable.

They created an excellent opportunity and acted very quickly.

The four of them quickly surrounded EDG's fed Irelia.

If they can kill Irelia, they'll have a good chance of taking Baron Nashor.

If we can take down the dragon, our economy will recover significantly, and our chances of turning the tide will increase dramatically.

Can……

All of this, the tactics that RNG had come up with together, were just ruined by a single mistake?
In professional esports, isn't skill the least important thing?

At this moment, Tabe also began to doubt himself.

Although Xiaohu switched from the mid lane to the top lane, his laning skills are still quite solid, so he's not as prone to collapsing.

Wei performed exceptionally well in the training matches, demonstrating a remarkable awareness of roaming.

Cryin has been mediocre, never really making a name for himself.

Although Gala and Xiaoming are a new duo in the bottom lane, their chemistry is actually quite good.

But this team, which performed so well in scrims, crumbled as soon as they faced EDG!
At the same time, the mentality of the two contestants on stage was also polarized.

The four EDG players who witnessed the whole thing were completely shocked by Wang Yao's performance.

They simply couldn't describe the Irelia's play in words.

I thought about it for a long time.

Everyone could only silently marvel at how awesome he was, and then they surrounded Thresh, the only remaining enemy on the front lines, and Rookie secured the kill.

On the other side, the five RNG players had different expressions.

Some were terrified, some were shocked, and some felt their scalp tingle.

Only Wei looked completely bewildered.

Their previous tactic was for four people to gank Irelia, while Trundle would find an opportunity to steal the dragon.

Since there were four of his own on the main battlefield, Wei didn't switch the camera.

Because it's clear from the minimap that the other EDG players aren't there.

But a few moments later, several kill notifications appeared at the top of the screen, leaving Wei bewildered.

Who am I? Where am I? Is Lee Jae-gan some kind of god or demon?
Xiao Long did indeed win.

How the hell did all four of them die?!

But seeing his teammates' expressions, Wei didn't say anything.

Although he didn't see what happened directly, four people surrounded one person, but the Irelia killed three of them...

The scene was so horrific that one could roughly imagine it without even seeing it.

The impact on the four people at this moment is probably far greater than on myself.

Thinking of this,
Wei sighed, "It's okay, brothers, we should still be able to fight..."

However, because Wei's voice was too soft, the four of them couldn't hear him at all.

The cheers that kept coming in were just noisy to everyone.

Because the cheers weren't for them.

But to say it has absolutely nothing to do with me is a bit of a stretch.

After all, RNG has completely become the backdrop for Wang Yaochu's debut on the solo stage...

As the instigator, Wang Yao was the calmest.

His expression remained unchanged as he typed on the keyboard, sending the enemy's summoner spells off cooldown.

The scene of him taking on four opponents didn't have much of an impact on him.

After all, they are four-time champions, and they have already made many brilliant moves along the way.

He's done this kind of thing far too many times, whether it's the playoffs or the World Championship.

After a moment of silence, Wang Yao spoke.

"What are you standing there for? Go back and fight Baron!"

Hearing this, the EDG players gradually came to their senses.

"Oh, oh, oh, I forgot..."

"Come on, come on, big dragon, big dragon, big dragon."

"It feels like the economic gap is almost 10,000, right?"

"After taking down Baron, we should be able to launch an attack."

"OK, let's go home and get some new gear first."

The four of them talked in a very ordinary way, but the turmoil in their hearts lingered for a long time.

With the Baron Nashor secured, the five players returned to base to replenish their equipment, bringing the game to a close...

"With the dragon secured, the economic gap has reached 12,000."

"Personally, I think RNG has no chance of turning this game around."

"The main problem is that they have no way to turn the tide. Kennen isn't fed, Jinx isn't fed, they're not even in a normal farming state. Even if they initiate a perfect team fight, their damage is completely insufficient."

"Yes, but the only saving grace for RNG is that they secured the dragon. Let's see if they can use the dragon to their advantage."

Although Wawa is trying his best to help RNG recover, the current situation makes a comeback extremely difficult!

EDG has an advantage in the number of turrets, the economy, and the jungle resources; they are superior to RNG in every aspect.

Despite the efforts of all five RNG players to get back into form, they also persevered and dragged things out for a while longer.

However, when the game reached the 29-minute mark, with a team wipe of ACE, EDG declared the end of the match!

As the Red Team's base exploded into pieces, deafening cheers erupted from the audience.

"Wuhu! EDG is awesome!"

"666, both are switching to the top lane, is there really such a big difference?"

"There's nothing we can do, Little Tiger has a lucky charm stuck between his ears."

"Pure bloodline suppression! Yao-ge's performance was just too damn brilliant!"

"First time on the road, 13-0-4, I'm so impressed! What do you mean by 'ceiling'? Yao-ge shines brighter than fireworks!"

"..."

Indeed, backstage in the dressing room, Abu and the coaching staff were laughing hysterically.

This year, EDG is aiming for the championship again, and they have a chance to win their fifth consecutive title!
On the other side, the ten people on the stage each had a different expression.

After winning the match, Wang Yao stood up and turned to walk backstage.

Seeing Wang Yao step down from the stage, the other four hurriedly followed.

Here at RNG, the five players lowered their heads and remained silent, quietly leaving the stage without a word.

……

The break between matches was very short, but both teams made the most of it.

Although Tabe had some doubts about himself before, with such a formidable opponent at hand, he, as the coach, absolutely could not afford to lose his composure.

Although Tabe doesn't have much coaching experience, he has a knack for training players and drafting strategies. He also has a knack for adjusting players' mentality and giving them pep talks.

After more than ten minutes of communication, the five RNG players regained their composure considerably.

The fear in Xiaohu's heart gradually dissipated.

Because the result of their discussion was to ban Irelia.

There's no other way; if we don't ban Irelia, Xiaohu's mentality will collapse.

Realizing this, Tabe couldn't help but exclaim, "This business plan is so difficult!"

Soon, in the second game, EDG did not focus on the top lane, nor did they let Wang Yao play those carry-type top laners.

With Syndra in the mid lane and Caitlyn and Lux ​​in the bot lane, this lineup definitely can't withstand a team fight with just Xin Zhao.

The factory manager simply handed Wang Yao a hand of Sain.

RNG is a bit bewildered. They were already prepared with a strategy targeting the top lane, but EDG gave them this?!

Although Tabe quickly adjusted his strategy, the five players, who had already suffered heavy losses in the previous game, were unable to change their tactics quickly.

After a grueling 30-minute battle, EDG emerged victorious once again.

From the commentary booth, Wawa's voice came first.

"Alright, let's congratulate EDG team on their successful 2-0 victory over the formidable RNG in their first match of the Spring Split!"

Before he finished speaking, applause erupted from the audience.

"I feel that EDG has a great chance to achieve glory again this year, their form is simply amazing!"

"Yes, and what surprised us the most was that Rookie has integrated better with EDG than we expected."

"Furthermore, Kshine's dominance in the top lane is just as strong as his performance in the mid lane, bottom lane, and jungle!"

"..."

The two commentators chatted back and forth, constantly discussing the situation of the match.

From the draft analysis to the player commentary and the final summary, the presentation left the audience completely bewildered.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed.

The two, who had been discussing something, heard a voice coming through their earpieces, and then changed the subject:
"Although we have said so much, most of it is based on our own analysis. Whether the actual situation is like this, we still need to ask the contestant himself."

"That's right, so let's not waste any more time. The interview is ready."

As soon as he finished speaking, the image on the big screen switched to the other side.

At the same time, all the spotlights in the venue were aimed at the center of the stage.

Xi Ran, Wang Yao, and Rookie stood there in turn.

Today, Xiran wore a black evening gown with a slit at the hem that perfectly showcased her long, slender, and fair legs, making her incredibly beautiful.

Even the most skilled athletes would pale in comparison if they stood next to her.

However, Wang Yao, dressed in his team uniform without any accessories, subtly overshadowed the brilliance emanating from Xi Ran.

Rookie stood speechlessly beside the two.

What the hell...

He deliberately arranged for Xiran and Wang Yao to publicly display their affection, which was bad enough, but he also arranged for this beautiful couple to be next to him.

Although he won the game, Rookie was visibly annoyed.

It felt like a vampire prince walking into a church with his beautiful wife, while you were a yodal passing by the church entrance.

Seeing this, the viewers in the live stream chat went crazy with laughter.

"Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore! Song Yijin is making me laugh so hard I'm dying! His expression looks like he just ate shit!"

"Who in the family understands this? It's like seeing a fairy tale in the real world!"

"How to say?!"

"Snow White, the Prince, and the Dwarfs".

"Hahahaha, damn it! I laughed all my good deeds away!"

"Knock on the electronic wooden fish, and you will meet the Cyber ​​Buddha!"

"Sigh, Old Song is really pitiful."

"..."

Backstage, the members of the EDG club were all laughing so hard they were doubled over.

Rookie has a clean reputation throughout his life. He plays games well, has impeccable character, and his skill level has always been consistently high. The only thing he hasn't won is a world championship of his own.

At this moment, Xiran, who was on the far left, smiled and said, "Welcome to our post-match interview. I am Xiran. Today, we have invited Kshine, the top laner of EDG, and Rookie, the mid laner."

"Say hello to everyone!"

"Hello everyone, I am... Kshine."

"Hi everyone, I'm Rookie."

Although Wang Yao usually has a calm and collected demeanor, he couldn't help but smile a little when he was on stage with Xi Ran.

After all, they've spent a lot of time together in private, so it's a bit strange that they suddenly acted like they didn't know each other on stage.

Cheers erupted from the audience.

Most people called him Yao Ge, some called him Xi Ran, and a small number called him Rou Ji.

Beside her, Xi Ran's intellectual voice rang out again.

"First of all, let's congratulate EDG on winning this match. Now, we have a few questions for Kshine."

Originally, there was only one spot for a post-match interview during the regular season, but because Rookie performed well in these two games, the staff added him on the spot.

"Kshine, today is your first game in the LPL top lane, and we have seen your performance on the field, which can be said to be very good."

"What are the differences between playing top lane and other lanes?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Yao picked up the microphone and responded seriously:
"Actually, the top lane is quite simple. It's mainly about laning and awareness of avoiding ganks. But today I got a bit carried away and got ganked by the jungler a few times, so I had to kill them all."

As soon as these boastful words were uttered, the audience erupted in a roar of cheers.

If it were any other contestant, they would just think this person is too arrogant and will be slapped in the face sooner or later.

But the person on stage is Wang Yao, so they will only think he is absolutely right!

This is the might of the four-time champion. If the jungler dares to gank the top lane, Kshine will dare to get a double kill!

Xi Ran didn't realize what was happening until the director's voice came through her earpiece again.

After interviewing Wang Yao, I immediately interviewed the chicken.

Xi Ran smiled sweetly, then picked up the microphone, "Thank you very much to Kshine and Rookie for accepting our post-match interview."

"I wish EDG team continued success."

"Okay, that concludes today's post-match interviews. Thank you for watching!"

After speaking, Xi Ran bowed to the audience with one hand behind her back.

Wang Yao and Rookie, who were standing to the side, were in the same situation.

Amidst enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the three walked off the stage one after another.

The opening match of the 2021 LPL Spring Split has come to a perfect end!

After saying goodbye to Xiran, Wang Yao, Rookie, and Xiran returned to the EDG rest area.

The coaching staff gave a brief post-match debriefing, and everyone packed their bags and headed back to the base.

A few days later, EDG embarked on a winning streak, defeating LGD 2-0, IG 2-0, and JDG 2-1.

Including the previous BO3 match against RNG, EDG has achieved a four-game winning streak and is ranked first in the standings!
It's worth mentioning that the newly formed RNG team seems to be on the rise, ranking second in the standings with a record of 3-1.

This almost brought tears to the eyes of a bunch of old-school RNG fans. Although Xiaohu consistently performs well for Wang Yao, he's still quite formidable against other top laners.

The landscape of LPL viewership has changed this year, but it hasn't completely changed.

First up is EDG, the undisputed top esports team, whose skill and fan base are both exceptional.

Next are RNG, FPX, JD Gaming, and Li-Ning.

Soon, the time came to July 1st.

On this day, EDG played their fifth match of the Spring Split.

As for their opponent, it's FPX!

Backstage at EDG's rest room, Coach Clearlove stood in front of everyone with his arms crossed, saying, "Don't let your guard down when we play FPX today."

"They are currently on a winning streak and in very good form, having been on a winning streak since the opening match."

"In addition, their winning streak is different from ours. Most of the teams we've faced are weak teams, but FPX has successively defeated Top Esports and LNG, so we absolutely cannot let our guard down."

"Understood!"

"received!"

"Don't worry, Seven, our team's top, mid, and jungle are incredibly strong."

"Tianye, what do you mean? Are you trying to smear me?!"

"I didn't say our bot lane is weak. You don't actually think it's weak, do you?"

"Arema! Come and die!"

JKL and Meiko are such a hilarious pair, they made everyone else burst into laughter.

The factory manager looked at the group with satisfaction, nodded, and thought, "This is not bad. If they perform well, our chances of winning today are very high."

Bringing everyone back to their senses, the factory manager gave some instructions on drafting and tactics, and then everyone took a short break to wait for the match to begin.

Meanwhile, the two commentators in the front commentary booth had also taken their positions.

"Alright, welcome back, viewers! This is the live broadcast of Day 5 of Week 2 of the 2021 League of Legends Pro League Spring Split."

"The second BO3 of the day is about to begin, between EDG and FPX."

"I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan."

"I'm the commentator Rita."

After a brief self-introduction, the two began to analyze the upcoming match.

"Both EDG and FPX are ranked high on the leaderboard."

"Yes, and one is the top team in the East, and the other is the top team in the West. Today's game is definitely top-notch!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing how Rookie performs against Doinb, since they're old rivals."

"Actually, I'm more looking forward to the laning phase in the top lane than the mid lane."

"Oh?"

Rita glanced sideways at Guan Zeyuan with a half-smile, awaiting his answer.

"Haha! As you all probably know, FPX acquired a truly remarkable top laner last year, Nuguri from DWG!"

"Kshine and Niu Guli have very similar styles; both are extremely aggressive."

"Not only that, their hero pools are roughly the same, and they are all in their prime."

"So I think that in today's BO3, there will be a lot of clashes in the top lane, and the heroes picked will most likely be skill-based."

"..."
