LOL: The world’s best red-temperature mid laner!

BLG's loss has had an impact on the BLG region, and netizens are already discussing it:

[I hope neither BLG nor Top Esports will fall into the loser's bracket.]

[LCK still seems strong; BLG got swept 3-1.]

BLG's performance is visibly poor; we still have to look to Top Esports for improvement.

What if Top Esports (TES) falters? The thought is too horrible to imagine.

The next day, the TES team returned to the arena for a match between TES and T1.

Of course, there was also the match between G2 and PSG before that.

In the end, G2 won easily.

This is not good news for TES.

After all, they played PSG in the first round.

It's now pretty much confirmed that PSG is the worst one.

Inside the lounge, the TES players were making their final preparations.

Warhorse called out, "Since BLG has already gone to the loser's bracket, we must win this BO5, otherwise we'll have to go to the loser's bracket and fight an internal battle with them."

Xiao Tian was already itching for a fight: "Today I'll test their strength and see what's going on. It's been a long time since I've faced T1."

Meiko said, "Keria, little K, I want to make him cry. I don't know why, but I get a perverted sense of satisfaction every time I see him cry."

Ah Shui was shocked: "No way, buddy, are you a psychopath?"

Lu Yi joked, "That's normal. It's a love-hate relationship. They contact each other often and seem to have a good relationship, but in reality, they both have their own evil thoughts."

At the match venue, in the commentary booth, Wawa said, "Okay, the second BO5 of the day is about to begin, with Top Esports from the LPL region facing off against T1 from the LCK region."

"Yesterday's match showed us GEN's strength. They seem much stronger than last year. We'll know how T1 is doing now after watching the match."

Rita responded, "I feel that although LCK has made great progress, it will still be quite difficult for them to beat Top Esports, after all, Top Esports is also improving."

Backstage, the players from both TES and T1 were lining up to go on stage, separated by several meters.

Meiko and Keria are communicating with their eyes and making hand gestures, just like two students daydreaming in class.

369 would glance at Zeus from time to time, secretly watching him, pretending to be nonchalant.

Zeus, on the other hand, remained quite calm.

As for Faker and Lü Yi, they were the most composed, both waiting for the match to begin.

After the host appeared and energized the audience, inviting both contestants to the stage, the atmosphere became lively.

"Now, let's welcome T1 from the LCK region!"

Faker led the T1 team onto the stage, where there were quite a few T1 fans chanting, "T1! T1!"

"Faker! Ahhh, let's lift the trophy again!"

"Show LCK's strength to LPL!"

"The world's number one mid laner forever."

Lü Yi could hear the cheers of the audience from backstage.

So Xiaotian leaned over and said, "They say Faker is the best mid laner in the world, what do you think?"

Lü Yi shrugged: "If they say so, then so be it."

Xiao Tian laughed: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

The host's voice rang out: "Now, let's welcome TES from the LPL region!"

Lü Yi led the TES team onto the stage, where TES fans chanted in unison, "Top Esports! Top Esports! Top Esports!"

After a brief introduction, the two sides stood face to face in the center of the stage, shook hands, and then walked to their respective positions.

After sitting down, we entered the first draft phase.

In this match, TES is on the red side and T1 is on the blue side.

Ban status:

TES: Varus, Senna, Kalista
T1: Zach, Ornn, Quesanti
Wawa began to analyze: "Top Esports is mainly targeting the ADC, and all three bans are for the bot lane. So what will Gumayusi pick now? I'm very curious."

Miller chimed in, "On the other hand, T1 targeted their top laner by banning several easy-to-play top laners. Are they planning to outmaneuver 369?"

During the hero selection phase, T1 on the blue side picked Vi on the first pick.

Immediately afterwards, TES picked Lucian and Nami on the first and second floors respectively.

Miller commented, "Here it comes! The Luna duo. As expected, Top Esports banned so many bot lanes just to make the bot lane laning phase more comfortable."

"It seems that none of the ADCs still outside can compete with Luna."

T1 locked down Draven and Lena on the second and third floors.

Rita exclaimed, "A fierce battle! T1 made a really tough choice. It feels like both sides are going all out and neither is willing to back down."

TES got Sejuani on the third floor.

Entering the second round of BP.

TES banned Rumble and Vayne.

T1 opted to ban Taliyah and Ahri.

Miller commented, "T1 is now starting to block mid-lane support heroes. It feels like their bot lane is under a lot of pressure, so they have no choice but to do this."

TES got Camille on the fourth floor!
Miller muttered, "Camille? Is this Camille from 69 or Yi Shen's Camille?"

"There are several possibilities for Top Esports. It's possible that Yi Shen will play Camille in the mid lane, or Yi Shen will play Camille in the top lane. It's very flexible."

T1 got Twisted Fate and Azir on the fourth and fifth floors!

Rita commented, "Here it comes! Faker's Azir, T1 is pulling out all the stops in this match."

"Top Esports has one last option, what should they choose... Xerath? It's Xerath?"

TES picked a hero that no one expected on the fifth floor: Xerath!
In the official live stream room, the chat started to buzz:
Is this champion even playable? Faker's positioning is so good, I feel like I'm going to get outplayed.

Playing Xerath in front of Faker is practically suicide. Don't you trust Faker's positioning?

[Positioning? Can't Yi Shen predict your positioning? What makes you think Faker's positioning is better than Yi Shen's prediction?]

[Enough with the Korean fans, Yi Shen is going to teach you a lesson this round!]

[Nobody really thinks they can pull off a fancy Xerath playstyle, right? Faker's going to teach you a lesson!]

Both sides were adjusting their positions, and soon the lineups were finalized:

[Format: BO5]

【TES】VS【T1】(0:0)

Top Lane: Camille vs. Twisted Fate

Jungle: [Northern Wrath] VS [Piltover Enforcer]

Mid Lane: [Ancient Witch] VS [Azir]

ADC: [The Purifier] VS [The Executioner]

Support: [Tidecaller Shark] VS [Alchemist Baron]

Once the game started, Xiaotian muttered, "Can you guys hold on? The enemy duo in the bottom lane is really strong."

Ah Shui replied, "That's amazing."

Xiao Tian complained, "So, is it possible or not?"

Meiko replied, “When he says he can do it, it means he can’t, but if you say he can’t, he’ll tell you he can.”

369 couldn't hold back any longer: "This is so pretentious."

Xiao Tian countered, "What's the situation on your end? 69, can you hold on?"

369 replied, "Do we still need to hold on? The enemy has a Twisted Fate, and I'm Camille. As the jungler, you'll definitely be ganking top lane all the time." Xiaotian shook his head for a moment, "Forget it, let's at least wait until level six. You hold on first."

The first wave of minions spawned, and the jungle monsters also respawned.

With the help of the duo, Xiaotian got the first blue buff, and then cleared all the jungle monsters in the first round.

The commentator said, "Sejuani needs to reach level six to have a strong enough ganking ability."

"The top lane is already having a hard time, and Camille is being suppressed by Twisted Fate."

In the top lane, Zeus's Twisted Fate was relentlessly kiting 369, choosing to cross the minion wave to apply pressure.

369 naturally couldn't avoid gaining experience, so he leveled up his E skill at level one and kicked out.

In close combat, Camille and Twisted Fate are definitely not afraid of each other, even if it's an AD Twisted Fate.

However, as soon as he kicked, Twisted Fate used his W skill to switch to Yellow Card, which controlled Camille with a single Yellow Card.

Although Camille also managed to kick Twisted Fate, he couldn't deal damage because his auto-attack range was too short.

While Twisted Fate was dealing damage, Camille kept moving forward.

Then start finishing off enemies, and then retreat.

Miller commented, "Camille is bluffing, mainly to farm, but Twisted Fate keeps dealing damage, so Camille retreated back into the bushes."

"Camille suffered a significant health loss in order to last-hit minions and gain experience, but there was nothing she could do, given that she was a short-ranged opponent facing a long-ranged one."

The camera pans to the mid lane, where Lü Yi's Xerath is facing off against Azir.

Faker was indeed very careful, moving around wildly to maintain his distance from Xerath.

Lü Yi didn't dwell on the laning phase; his strategy was simple: push the minion wave quickly.

The Tsar's early-game wave-pushing ability isn't that strong; his skills have long cooldowns and his attack speed is slow.

In the bottom lane, as soon as he reached level two, Ah Shui couldn't wait to make a move, using his E skill to approach Draven, and Nami responded with her E skill.

Lucian AAQAA...

The electrocution was triggered, and although Lenata immediately provided a shield, it was still a bit too much for her.

Draven seized the opportunity to counterattack, and now Lucian has no skills available.

If they choose to fight to the bitter end, T1's bot lane is not afraid at all.

However, Ah Shui and Meiko also understood this principle.

So Meiko chose to use her Q skill to stop the opponent's pursuit and cover Lucian's retreat.

Meanwhile, Xiaotian's Sejuani had already started attacking the river crab above.

Lü Yi moved in from the mid lane, putting pressure on the enemy jungler.

However, 369 in the top lane signaled: "The enemy Twisted Fate has gone over."

Meanwhile, Faker's Azir on the opposing mid lane also disappeared from the mid lane, clearly indicating that he was moving closer.

Lu Yi commanded, "Go, if you can't take it, let it go."

Xiao Tiandao is not greedy; if he were to be greedy at this time, problems would easily arise.

Oner's NIO took over and acquired the River Crab.

The commentator said, "The lack of lane priority in the top lane is making things a bit difficult for the jungler. 369's Camille won't be able to coordinate with the jungler until level six. Until then, she can only endure the pressure."

With five and a half minutes remaining in the game, Lü Yi recalled to base to replenish his supplies, and then returned to the lane.

The same goes for the Tsar; the two are now operating in mirror images.

However, after reaching level six, Lü Yi gains the ability to provide support with his ultimate skill.

Online, Lü Yi chose to continue pushing the minion wave, but Faker's Azir was unhappy and kept controlling the sand soldiers to harass him.

Seeing this, Lü Yi decisively attacked, using his W skill to slow down the enemy, and then charging up his Q.

The Tsar frantically tried to dodge, but he was already slowed down by W, making it difficult to avoid this Q skill.

When Q skill hits, Azir uses E skill Quicksand to get close, but Lü Yi counters with E, interrupting him!

Miller exclaimed, "Such a fast reaction speed! Yi Shen has a clear advantage in the mid lane!"

"The reason we didn't fight earlier was simply because we didn't want to fight. If we really fought, the Tsar wouldn't be a match for us."

After Lü Yi finished his combo, he immediately retreated. The Tsar summoned sand soldiers, but could only poke them once.

He used all his Q skill to travel, so he has no way to fight back now.

Just then, a problem arose on the road!
Vi suddenly appeared in the river, and at the same time, the player switched cards to control her.

369 originally wanted to counterattack, but Twisted Fate had already used his W skill.

However, he saw Wei and realized he had to leave.

Camille used her E skill to retreat, but Jarvan IV had already closed in and slowed her down with his W.

The cards followed behind, unleashing a barrage of attacks.

Miller commented, "I have a feeling I'm going to die? Camille seems to be dead already, he was positioned too far forward."

Doll replied, "That's right, Twisted Fate started card swapping again, and it was a yellow card. Camille flashed back, Jarvan IV used EQ to knock up, and Twisted Fate followed up with a yellow card. That's it."

In the end, Camille's head was taken by Twisted Fate.

[T1's Zeus (Twisted Fate) has killed TES's 369 (Camille)!!!]

Miller began his analysis: "Camille needs to reach level six to effectively farm jungle camps, but the key is how you manage to reach level six."

"T1 knows you want to stall, so they definitely won't give you that chance."

The director gave 369 a close-up, and 369 looked quite helpless.

He already had a hard time in lane, and now that he's been caught out, it's even harder for him.

Xiao Tian went to the bottom lane. Since it was difficult to gank or coordinate in the mid lane, he could only look for opportunities in the bottom lane.

Both sides in the bottom lane have recalled to replenish their supplies, but now they are both low on health again.

There was no other way; both sides were looking for opportunities to secure kills online.

"Bottom lane, make your move!" Xiaotian signaled.

He can only help if a fight breaks out in the bottom lane first, otherwise he won't be able to catch the enemy, as the minion wave is in the middle.

So, Ah Shui's Lucian suddenly used his E skill, and Nami followed up with her E skill.

T1's bot lane didn't back down and chose to fight back from the spot.

Miller passionately commented, "A fight has broken out in the bottom lane! This time, it's Top Esports' bottom lane that took the initiative."

"Lucian has a very high burst damage; he can crush the opponent in one combo, but there's no follow-up!"

"Lena controlled Sejuani, buying time for Draven. Draven and Lucian are still fighting."

Lucian was already retreating; his goal was to lure the enemy into a fight, and now he had achieved his objective.

However, the opposing team chose to relentlessly pursue them, even counterattacking when they saw Sejuani approaching.

Just then, Draven's health bar was almost empty, but he didn't die!
The commentator said, "Timely rescue! Lenata gave Draven a timely rescue, he's still alive. Lucian flashed back, Draven flashed to follow up and deal damage, securing the kill! He's resurrected, he resurrected himself!"

[T1's Guamyusi (Glory Executioner) has killed TES's Jackeylove (Lucian)!!!]

The situation became a bit awkward. Sejuani approached Draven and used her Q skill, but Draven interrupted her with an E skill, and she retreated while fighting.

Rita commented, "No way? They can't possibly let Draven escape!"

Suddenly, an impact charge rained down from the sky, followed by a second one. Draven frantically dodged, caught off guard by the first one's sudden attack, but it was too late; it was too fast, and he was instantly killed!

[TES' GodYi (Ancient Witch) has killed T1's Guamyusi (Glory Executioner)!!!]

Rita cheered, "Nice! Xerath's ultimate got this kill, so it's acceptable, not a huge loss!" (End of Chapter)
