Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 103 Completely Out of Form? EDG in Danger in the Playoffs! (Please Subscribe)
Quickstar wrote "Galio" in his notebook and added a note.

Galio is very skilled, his laning ability remains to be seen, but his support capabilities are top-notch, making him a viable mid-lane option.

After all, Galio is strong not only in the mid lane but also in the top lane.

He has a certain advantage against many top lane champions, especially in wave clear. Once he gets two Doran's Rings, no one can stop him.

Therefore, Galio is even a higher priority for top lane than Galio for mid lane.

All you need to do is build the Rod of Ages, and then focus on building tank items.

Its tankiness is already incredibly high.

The second training match started quickly.

In this game, EDG was on the red side and deliberately let Galio through. Quick Star deliberately let Galio through.

After all, you have to give the opponent a chance to practice overpowered heroes in scrims.

Otherwise, who would want to play practice matches with you? That wouldn't be practice at all; you'd be a punching bag.

Moreover, with OP heroes, you have to lane against them and then figure out how to counter them.

If you can't crack the code and just ban, then coaching the draft phase would be too easy.

Because League of Legends designers don't just release one overpowered (OP) champion; each version has two OP champions and three or four Tier 1 (T1) champions.

The goal is to get players to spend more time practicing and then engage in tactical maneuvering.

WE locked in almost instantly, eager to test the strength of the reworked unit in scrims.

In the playoff version, Galio's performance was still quite exaggerated.

WE's matches will start on the 21st, and for now they can only learn through practice matches.

The lineups for both sides were quickly finalized.

There wasn't much difference from the previous practice match.

Blue side WE: Top lane Camille, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane duo Kog'Maw and Lulu.

They still have a very strong ability to engage in battle. Both Jarvan IV and Camille have extremely strong entry capabilities and can coordinate with Galio's ultimate to divide the battlefield.

With Lulu protecting him, Kog'Maw can unleash his attacks from the back without restraint.

Li Fan immediately recognized this as the unstoppable combination that WE had dominated in the Summer Split.

I didn't expect it to be developed so early.

However, only WE plays this game the best; other teams don't have the same skill.

It can only be said that their achievement of reaching the semi-finals this year was due not only to their individual strength, but also to the fact that the game version was quite suitable for them.

EDG selected Shen for top lane, Rek'Sai for jungle, LeBlanc for mid lane, and Ashe and Karma for bot lane.

I want to see if I can counter Galio through the laning phase.

The idea is indeed good, and I hope to achieve it through my own abilities.

Li Fan did indeed fight very fiercely, constantly looking for opportunities to jump in and deal damage with the Enchantress, but there really weren't any good solutions.

Xi Ye's outfit was so good that Li Fanzhen couldn't even scratch him.

What's there to say about just getting Doran's Shield?

There was really no way to deal with it. My hands were sore from attacking for so long, but the damage didn't drop at all. Plus, Durand's shield didn't provide enough magic damage.

It's almost impossible to get a solo kill.

This is absolutely a numerical monster in the current version!
Galio!
It has extremely strong line clearing ability and pressure resistance.

Furthermore, her W skill allows her to threaten Li Fan's LeBlanc in real time.

It's important to know that the jungle duo of Prince and Galio is a guaranteed kill combo at level two.

Galio would reflexively retreat whenever he took a step forward, fearing that a jungler might be nearby.

So Xiye held on until returning to the city without any pressure.

The first item he picked was Magic Resistance Boots, one of the three items from the Little Tiger set.

To be honest, this item is a perfect fit for Galio; once he pulls out his AP item, Galio is truly hopeless.

Completely ineffective... all skills aimed at him were like scraping the surface.

Li Fan's LeBlanc has made it almost impossible for him to get a solo kill, allowing Galio to push the lane more aggressively and then disappear from sight, putting immense pressure on EDG's top and bottom lanes.

Is it possible to defend against it forever?

That's how the game works. The attacking side keeps applying pressure, waiting for the defending side to make a mistake, then they can deliver a decisive blow and quickly snowball the advantage.

Around seven minutes into the game, Galio used his ultimate to support the top lane for the first time.

Despite Li Fan frantically sending out warning signals, Shen was still held back by Camille, and Galio's hero entrance landed precisely on time, easily securing the first blood.

This combo is invincible; there's no way to escape!

Then Galio's damage is so high that Shen can't handle it...

The kill went to Camille, making it impossible for her to lane in the top lane.

"Oh my god, I didn't realize it." Mouse said, somewhat annoyed.

"It's okay, stay calm. They're relying on the initial burst of momentum," Li Fan reassured him, his mind racing.

He knew very well that simply dominating Galio in lane was not very effective; the key was to disrupt his rotation rhythm or do more when Galio rotated.

WE's core strategy revolves around protecting Kog'Maw, while their team fight initiation relies on the synergy between Galio and Jarvan IV.

"Kai, you place a ward in this half of the map. When Galio flies next time, you'll be able to see his movements clearly and then decide whether to counter-attack or gank other lanes based on your position." Li Fan signaled to Clearlove to place a ward on the side of the dragon pit in the bottom lane while giving instructions via voice chat.

From this vantage point, you can clearly see Galio's flying.

After all, Galio's ultimate ability doesn't have the same exaggerated range as Twisted Fate's.

Riot Games knows that Galio's wave clear is incredibly powerful.

The factory manager agreed that it was fine.

If you don't do this, you'll be on the receiving end of the beating, and the rhythm will be entirely in your opponent's hands.

The fast-moving star behind nodded in satisfaction.

LeBlanc really can't handle Galio, so the lineup chosen in this game is all about how to deal with him.

He was quite satisfied with the laning phase and the support phase.

Sure enough, three minutes later, when Galio finished clearing the wave and disappeared into the mid lane...

Li Fan immediately marked the bottom lane river!
Because we can see Galio has gone to the bottom lane from the field of vision.

The factory manager happens to be in the bottom half of the bracket, so now we can counterattack.

Because the most crucial point is that you must be cautious when going into lane!

The opposing team cannot instantly kill the key carry.

Furthermore, if the opposing team chooses to interrupt Shen's ultimate, then the top laner will also be unable to come down.

The bottom lane is really on the verge of erupting!
Just as Li Fan had thought...

The prince entered the fray, intending to coordinate with Galio to instantly eliminate Ashe.

However, a large shield was in place on the top lane, and with the shield and healing from Karma, Kog'Maw's damage was still a bit lacking, and Ashe was not killed instantly!

At this moment, the Demoness had already teleported down, and Factory Manager He pointed directly at Big Mouth.

The bottom lane has turned into a 4v4 team fight!
With all their skills used, EDG was indeed superior. The burst damage from the combination of Rek'Sai and LeBlanc severely damaged Kog'Maw, who was protected by Lulu.

Li Fan stole another E skill and took down Kog'Maw.

Ultimately, EDG achieved a 2-for-1 trade and secured the first dragon.

This play, with a brilliant counter-gank and command, neutralized the pressure from Galio's roaming and turned the tide of the game.

Absolutely right! So true!

Li Fan's ability to read the game is indeed excellent.

Scout watched as Quickstar nodded repeatedly and clapped on the side, and his heart sank.

Wait...didn't I play just as well in my previous practice matches? Why didn't you perform like this? Are you discriminating against me? Am I from the city center?

I'm from Scout, not in the city! I don't accept discrimination!
But when Quick Star looked at him, he lowered his head.

He only dared to shout it in his heart, but dared not say it out loud.

However, he himself is entirely to blame for this situation.

In the FastStars, Scout has lost every game he's played! He's selectively forgotten the games he won at the start.

Li Fan, having been recognized for his talent, led his team to a winning streak upon his debut, stabilizing their extremely difficult situation. He also secured his own position.

I haven't heard Abramovich mention changing coaches yet, and he even received a bonus this month.

This is clearly my lucky star...

Naturally, everything seems to have advantages.

However, WE's lineup quickly came into its prime.

In the mid-game dragon team fight, Condi's Jarvan IV seized an opportunity, using EQ flash to engage and trapping EDG's bot lane duo.

Xiye's Galio ultimate followed closely behind, casting a massive shadow!

no way……

It can't protect even a little bit.

Li Fan, the Demoness, wanted to steal the big mouth, but Lulu was nearby, and it took a full 1.5 seconds to trigger the full damage, which was completely insufficient in this situation.

This is actually why the Demoness was slashed and died completely later on.

The current damage output is already difficult to deal with carries. Later on, with Ardent Censer, AD carries will be even harder to kill without absolute burst damage. They can heal back their health in a second.

So if LeBlanc dares to go after the ADC, she's just feeding.

After WE split their formation, EDG suffered a 3-for-1 exchange and lost the dragon.

Starting from this wave, they have completely lost the ability to operate with each other.

This kind of coordinated attack puts immense pressure on us.

However, Fast Star did not make everyone call a halt.

He still wanted to observe further.

But once the snowball effect starts, WE's more solid lineup can easily initiate team fights whenever they want.

At the 23-minute mark, EDG suffered a 4-for-2 exchange at the Baron pit, with Kog'Maw securing three kills. Continuing the fight from there would be pointless.

Quick Star then chose to call a halt.

The factory manager typed "gg" in the public chat.

Both players exited the game.

"Oh my god, that engagement in the bottom lane was too damaging," Meiko said, taking the blame first.

"Their lineup is really fierce when they charge in, and we have too little room to maneuver," the factory manager summarized.

"Play a few more games and observe, but Galio does seem to be a pretty difficult champion to deal with."

Quick Star nodded. Judging from the performance in the two games, Galio is indeed a very powerful pick.

Basically, you can get it just by taking it...

When fighting in a team, as long as someone can bring him in, it can create a very comfortable output environment for the back row.

Scout was thrilled and could barely suppress the smile on his face.

He quickly lowered his head, afraid that someone would see through his act.

The coach must have seen the gap. In these crucial matches, we still need someone as experienced and strong as me. We won all the practice matches yesterday...

The next match, the next training match, it'll definitely be my turn to play!

As long as I go up there and lead the team to a clean and decisive victory, it will be obvious who the true core of EDG is!

Sure enough, Scout was substituted in for the next game.

The main focus is on playing three practice matches.

Li Fan has already played two games since he came back, and judging from his performance, Quick Star is quite satisfied.

After all, there have been no scrims or ranked games in the past two days.

They probably only looked at the update announcement and the hero skill descriptions.

It's so eye-catching just by looking at it.

This talent is still quite extraordinary...

We should still let Scout win a game. He was in perfect form in yesterday's scrims. Let's see how things go today. We need to be prepared for both possibilities.

The Fast Stars are also taking the upcoming playoffs very seriously.

Scout's good performance in the training matches did indeed turn his score, which was originally negative, into a positive one.

In the third game, EDG picked Galio again, but instead of giving the champion to the mid lane, they gave it to the top lane...

However, it was clear from mouse's performance with Galio that he wasn't very skilled and didn't play it well, as he was outplayed by 957's Gnar in the top lane.

Li Fan didn't choose to watch the third training match, but returned to his seat. It had been so long since he'd streamed, it was time to see his lovely fans.

Li Fan's Huya live stream room was already incredibly popular.

As everyone knows, Li Fan returned to the base today and won the QQ Speed ​​championship again, so he will definitely be live-streaming under these circumstances.

They've been waiting since 8 PM and the broadcast still hasn't started, which is making them very anxious.

They frantically typed in the live stream chat, asking why there hadn't been a live stream yet.

Are we not going to stream today?

[Live now! Live now! I know you're back!]

【Oh, my Xu! I'll die without you watching my livestream!】

[Isn't the racing champion going to stream and show off? I'm getting impatient waiting!]

[Urgent! I am King Urgent!]

[Chat session with black screen, day 3, missing him.]

Huya's official team is already used to this kind of thing.

Li Fan's explosive popularity has already surpassed their expectations countless times.

Even if there are over 100,000 people chatting online in a black-market live stream, it's considered perfectly normal.

There's simply no way to explain this.

Its popularity is inexplicably high.

That's extremely exaggerated.

Because of this, the operations manager who proposed signing Li Fan has already been promoted.

As Li Fan watched the rapidly scrolling text, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

After adjusting the camera, I pressed the start button for live streaming.

Instantly, the black screen lit up, and Li Fan's slightly tired but bright-eyed face appeared on the screen.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly, densely covering almost the entire screen.

【Aaaaaaah, it's finally here!】

【husband! ! ! 】

Holy crap, I thought you went to play racing games. You really crushed these pros and won the championship.

Looks a bit tired. Isn't QQ Speed ​​racing supposed to be all about crushing opponents? Did you go out for some fun afterward?

[It doesn't make sense that it would take this long; the timing doesn't match up. Just look at the Unreal Engine; it's fast.]

Saying it's three seconds is a bit of an exaggeration; let's say it's one and a half minutes per game.

"Ahem, I've told you so many times this is a positive energy live stream. I've been back for a while now, but I wasn't streaming earlier because I played two practice matches... Ugh, I got wrecked!"

【? ? ? 】

[EDG is doomed, playoff hopes are in jeopardy!]

Some marketing accounts, upon hearing Li Fan say this, didn't hesitate at all and immediately opened Word to start their attacks.

The title was already chosen.

"Is racing affecting Unreal Engine's performance? EDG gets crushed in scrims, playoff hopes are in danger!"

"The Unreal Engine Alliance's Number One Playboy and Crossover Champion? He'll Be Marked with Shame in the Playoffs."

And you know what? These two headlines quickly attracted a lot of attention as soon as they came out.

They all clicked in and started reading...
