Chapter 77 The Ruler Emperor: Old Horse of the West!

With the Rift Herald, EDG decisively switched lanes to push the mid lane, but Samsung's defensive attitude was very firm, and they quickly gathered five people to set up a defensive line.

Losing one or two side lane towers isn't a big problem, but if the mid lane tower falls, EDG will seize and pressure the jungle vision.

This is not the situation that Sect Leader An wanted to see.

However, after EDG released the Rift Herald in the mid lane, their mid tower was still reduced to low health. Fortunately, EDG turned to take the dragon and did not push further.

The only thing Samsung can do in this game is to drag it out to the late game and slowly turn the tide.

But not long after, SSG's mid tower was taken down by the grouped-up EDG, and the huge snowball effect was not something Samsung could stop.

"EDG should wait for Baron Nashor this game. Without the Baron buff, it will be quite difficult for them to push in."

PDD seemed to be deep in thought.

As he predicted, EDG did not rush to accelerate their pace.

Around the 22-minute mark, both sides maintained a 4v4 frontal formation with one-on-one attacks on the flanks.

But if SSG dares to face EDG like this, they must be prepared to risk being forced into a team fight!

After receiving Wang Yao's order, Meiko unleashed a sudden ultimate move, a dazzling light like the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger, which crashed into SSG's camp.

Ruler reacted quickly and used his ultimate to dodge, Lulu's Flash, which had just been ready, was forced out again. Meanwhile, Clearlove's Jarvan IV used his EQ combo to trap Lulu inside.

This is the strong teamfight initiation system of the Japanese Maiden and the Prince.

Even if the Samsung players use Flash to reposition themselves first, they will still have to face other crowd control abilities.

EDG players swarmed in, and Crown's Lissandra tried to use her E to engage and disrupt Tristana, but Wang Yao, with Mercury's Treads, didn't need to pay any attention to Lissandra at all.

After instantly dispelling the Ice Maiden's ultimate, Crown Bro's effectiveness was greatly reduced. The Ice Maiden was incredibly fragile upon entering the fray, and her threat level was nowhere near that of Galio.

Moreover, by this time, Wang Yao had already built Infinity Edge and a Zeal, and with Tristana's high critical strike chance, he directly overwhelmed Lulu and Crystal Maiden with damage.

Although SSG had managed to create distance in time, EDG continued to tower dive and chase down Ruler's Xayah after Karma unleashed a RE combo and gained a shield.

Seeing that Samsung's players had completely lost their fighting power, EDG didn't linger and turned around to rush Baron Nashor in the Dragon Pit.

Without Crystal Maiden, Lulu's three stars are not even qualified to engage in team fights. Moreover, Ruler has already returned to base to replenish his health. If Ambition's Sejuani tries to steal the dragon, it's simply suicide.

At first, Ambition wanted to try to catch Gnar on the side lane to stop the team's losses in time, but the steady Mouse didn't give him the chance at all.

At 23 minutes and 03 seconds, EDG secured the Baron buff!

EDG currently holds a huge advantage, but under Wang Yao's command, EDG still maintains an orderly 4-1 split push.

Just when Samsung thought EDG was planning to slowly take down towers and further widen the economic gap, Meiko's Leona made another move.

In front of the high ground tower, Leona positioned herself perfectly and used her E-Flash to target Ruler. This time, Ruler's Xayah didn't use her ultimate, absorbing Leona's crowd control.

CoreJJ's Lulu hurriedly used his ultimate to save Xayah's life, but the next second he was shocked to find that he was EDG's target!
The sun's rays fell, pinning Lulu to the spot. Karma's RE acceleration led her teammates to charge forward, and EDG melted Lulu in an instant.

The huge economic gap left SSG unable to fight any team battles, and Samsung was completely defeated after this team battle.

Just over 26 minutes into the game, the clock stopped at that moment as SSG's crystal base exploded. The audience erupted in deafening cheers, with enthusiastic applause and high spirits continuing unabated. EDG's resounding victory plunged everyone into a frenzy of celebration.

"Congratulations to EDG for defeating SSG in their first quarterfinal match! The score is now 1-0!"

"Judging from the performance of both teams today, I believe EDG will be the ultimate winner, and I also believe that this new EDG will break the quarterfinals curse and advance to the semifinals!"

"..."

When Wang Yao took off his headphones, the cheers from the audience continued to rise. The feeling of the whole world cheering for you is indeed very exciting.

Perhaps this sense of being the center of attention, the anticipation of being watched by the world, and the honor of having countless cheers for you are what fascinates every professional player.

"Brother Yao, our bottom lane is absolutely dominating this game!" Meiko chuckled.

EDG basically opened up the game by dominating SSG in the bottom lane.

No wonder RNG loves playing the four-protect-one strategy so much. It turns out that by single-target burst damage on the enemy's bottom lane, they can snowball their advantage and create a very fast and comfortable game!
Isn't this better than EDG's previous slow and leisurely Korean-style macro play? No matter how strong the macro play is, who can beat SSG? It still comes down to fighting!
"We tricked Samsung in the draft phase this game, so they won't let Leona through in the next game."

The calm factory manager spoke up.

As the captain of EDG, he dares not relax until the moment of complete victory is achieved.

Wang Yao nodded, agreeing with the factory director's opinion.

This game was actually won by catching the opponent off guard with Leona's unexpected strategy, the early draft picks were flexible, and Leona's unconventional tactics were effective.

This is the result of a combination of factors.

"Hehe, no problem. It would be best if we could force them to ban our picks this game, then our drafting and banning will be much easier!" Meiko clenched his fist excitedly.

After this game, Karma will definitely attract Samsung's attention, so when EDG comes to the red side, they can just ban Karma, Jayce, and Kalista in the first three picks.

Without Karma, the Leona composition is unplayable even if Samsung wanted to.

The EDG players, returning victorious, chatted joyfully in their rest room, while the SSG rest room across the street was shrouded in gloom.

The Ruler Emperor was still a bit stunned, completely bewildered. He never expected that his proud Xia would be utterly crushed and repeatedly beaten by Wang Yao.

Ruler didn't feel anything when facing Uzi. The opponent was just a bit stronger in the laning phase, but he contributed more in team fights than Uzi!
Especially during the post-group stage review, Ruler also realized that Uzi's team fighting ability was actually quite abstract.

The output position is dangerous, and there are many invalid moves.

Overall, it looked like a ten-second team fight, nine seconds of positioning, and one second of output. If Uzi hadn't had good equipment, he could have done a terrible amount of damage!
But in this match, when facing Wang Yao, Ruler couldn't find a single flaw. Whether in the early laning phase or in team fights, Wang Yao was outstanding in both damage and survivability.

They couldn't even find an opportunity to cut in and kill the cannon!
Old Ma from the West!

"Damn it... Where did that monster ADC on the other side come from?!" CoreJJ spoke first.

He also got badly beaten by EDG's bot lane in this game, and couldn't figure out a way to counter Leona's strategy for a while.

Seeing the team's morale gradually decline, Coach Edgar stepped forward to encourage them.

As the founder of the Samsung team, he enjoys a very high seniority in the LCK region. Even Samsung's leader, Ambition, has to obey him.
