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

Chapter 87 I'll pluck the Dragon Ball! I'll block the telecommunications!
On stage, Wang Yao continued:

"Our whole team is very happy after defeating SSG! I would also like to encourage the other two LPL teams and hope they can also defeat their opponents and advance."

"I look forward to seeing WE face us in the semifinals of the upper bracket, and I also hope that Uzi can lead RNG to fight me again at the Bird's Nest!"

"However, in the later stages of the competition, no matter which team we face, EDG will ultimately be the one to win!"

"..."

As Wang Yao finished speaking, cheers erupted from the audience.

"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

The sound waves cheering for EDG almost broke through the venue and shook the sky!

……

The match between EDG and SSG has come to an end.

Their second match is destined to go down in esports history, and their final crushing victory will be talked about by countless League of Legends viewers.

However, in the e-sports arena, people only remember the first place. Apart from Yue Lun, who will remember the second place?

For the fans of the league, the most anticipated match is still the upcoming game between RNG and FNC.

On the second day of the competition, the match between Longzhu LZ and WE surprised many people.

As the third seed team in the LPL, WE managed to fight LZ to a standstill from the start and eventually ended the game in just over 35 minutes.

Unfortunately, LZ rallied and won three consecutive victories, eliminating WE from the quarterfinals.

Khan performed exceptionally well, consistently securing lane priority against WE's top laner 957. 957 could only defend but had no chance to retaliate.

The teams advancing from the upper half of the quarterfinals have been determined. Next, EDG will face LZ, led by Khan!

On the third day, the showdown between RNG and FNC began.

When the broadcaster showed the RNG backstage lounge before the match, countless RNG fans were still very nervous.

Especially the numerous medicated patches attached to Uzi's back made people question his competitive form.

Fortunately, RNG ultimately defeated FNC 3-1, a close call that brought a sigh of relief to RNG fans.

This year, two LPL teams have made it to the semifinals, one in the upper bracket and the other in the lower bracket. This wonderful start has given LPL viewers a glimmer of hope for winning the championship.

But in the world of esports, there are winners and losers.

After the match, Ou Cheng sat on his gaming chair and wept uncontrollably. It wasn't until his teammates came over and patted him on the shoulder that he stood in the middle of the stage with red eyes and bowed to the audience.

For such a legendary player who has competed in the world championships for many years but has been frustrated in his career, the LPL audience at the scene gave him a lot of respect.

The overwhelming encouragement and cheers brought a sense of warmth to the FNC players even after their defeat.

SKT then crushed FB 3-0, easily advancing to the semifinals, where they will face RNG in the bottom bracket!

……

Under the dazzling neon lights, the quarterfinals of the Global Finals came to a successful conclusion.

In the semifinals, two LPL teams faced off against two Korean teams, and there were no internal matches between the two teams!

After the quarterfinals, the players from the four teams will have a short break. The EDG players did not stay in Guangzhou for long and flew back to Shanghai on the night the match ended.

Before the semi-finals even began, online discussions intensified, with countless speculations about the champion emerging.

This year has been an incredibly happy one for LPL viewers, as they were able to see LPL teams in both semifinals.

Moreover, both of these teams are top-tier teams in the LPL!
One is the RNG team, which has the heritage of the former Royal Club and boasts the popular player Uzi; the other is the EDG team, led by Seven, with Kshine carrying the bottom lane!

On the Baidu Tieba forum, countless brilliant comments emerged. "As everyone knows, EDG has never lost in the World Championship semifinals, let alone the finals, so EDG will definitely win the championship this year!"

"Factory Manager: I'm already studying our opponents in the finals. Taking down LZ in the next round is a piece of cake!"

"EDG is trash! Get your ass into the Bird's Nest for the finals!"

"..."

Although WE didn't make it to the semifinals like EDG and RNG this year, the strength they showed has already demonstrated their desire for victory to the audience.

Losing to LZ was simply a matter of being less skilled; it wasn't a particularly humiliating defeat, at least you could say you died standing.

Therefore, there weren't many posts mocking WE on the forum. However, among the many posts, one in particular attracted a lot of attention and was forwarded by countless people.

"Young men, what brings you to Lushang?"

"I will pluck the Dragon Ball!"

"I'm blocking the telecommunications!"

"This journey is long and fraught with danger; if we go and never return..."

"Then leave and never come back!"

……

The semi-finals will be held in Shanghai.

This is good news for EDG. They can play the game right at home and don't need to stay in a hotel. They can go directly back to the team base to rest.

Playing practice matches in the team's training room is definitely more effective than playing in a temporary training room set up in a hotel.

This semifinal draw featured a full clash between China and South Korea, and the practice matches became crucial training exercises where every second counted for both teams.

LPL Tencent Esports can quickly assemble a training team for RNG and EDG, which includes star players from teams such as WE and IG.

The training quality is absolutely top-notch!

The situation is rather dire for LCK. SSG flew back to Korea long ago, leaving only LZ and SKT to stick together for warmth.

They don't have many training teams available, and their internet speed is not as fast as that of LPL teams.

Especially for a player like Faker who is extremely sensitive to network speed, 35ms and 9ms are worlds apart.

This has made Faker very unhappy with his recent training.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

LPL teams would never practice with LCK teams; they can only play against LCK teams.

However, the four teams didn't have much time to train, as they still had a lot of filming work to do.

All four teams had to be filmed in turn according to the official requirements, and Wang Yao, as the most outstanding player in the EDG team, naturally received countless individual shots.

The semi-finals will definitely be smaller in scale, unlike the finals, which will have a specially crafted trash talk segment.

However, the pre-match trash talk segment is still necessary.

As for EDG's trash talk segment, it was naturally delivered by the king of trash talk, Seven. It has to be said that without Seven's trash talk, the trash talk segment in LPL seems much dimmer.

While the factory manager was filming the tough talk segment by the riverbank, the EDG members were secretly laughing on the side.

Seven's unique dead-fish-eye expression combined with his witty remarks gives his overall style a humorous and abstract feel, which is hard to find in the entire LPL.

After finishing the filming, EDG only had three days left to prepare.

Since they are teams in the upper bracket, EDG and Longzhu LZ will start their match first!
