This Lee Sang-hyeok is very strong, but he lacks self-awareness.

"Guys, this is your first time checking out the backstage area of ​​the LPL playoffs!"

"This is the studio, where the substitute players and coaching staff watch the game. There are cameras here, and many famous turning points originated from here."

"This is the rest area. Players come here during breaks, and the coaching staff also does some simple debriefing and tactical planning for the next game."

"Because there are official camera positions in the studio, I can't do a live broadcast, so I'll be broadcasting from the lounge!"

"However, when they finish their match and go back to the locker room, I'll have to switch off the live stream to prevent any tactical information from being leaked."

Watching Lin Xiu wander around the studio with his phone in hand, Abu helplessly slapped his forehead.

I was just about to complain to the factory manager when I discovered that he was already sitting on the high platform of the game as the starting jungler.

He could only sigh heavily and turn to go into the studio.

"Damn, I hope this time we don't have to pin our hopes on Kobayashi!"

The chat in Lin Xiu's live stream was unusually lively.

[I knew following Lin Gou was the right choice; even the most popular streamers can't give you this perspective!]

[Wait until the main force returns, streamer, remember to stay on the stream a little longer, there might be some juicy gossip.]

[Streamer, remember to turn it off a little later. I want to see the factory manager's expression when he goes back to the rest room.]

Where's Brother Li? Is he memorizing the dictionary again?

Lin Xiu glanced at Lee Sang-hyeok behind him, who was carrying a heavy peripheral bag and staring intently at the big screen.

When Lee Sang-hyeok heard his name mentioned in the comments, he replied:

"I'm looking at BP."

At this moment, the first game officially began.

The camera panned to the players' seats, where Lin Xiu, looking at the screen, launched into his sarcastic commentary mode:

"Haha, look at the factory manager's signature dead fish eyes. Every time I see them, I feel like living in Bengbu."

"At first glance, this guy seemed very menacing, but then I found out he was playing 4396, and he had that same look in his eyes when he broke through the defenses. After that, I wasn't afraid anymore!"

"And Zet, doesn't his profile look like the effeminate man we often talk about in our livestreams?"

The live chat erupted in laughter, with many urging Lin Xiu to join in.

Please don't stir up trouble; the streamer will handle it himself.

[Why only talk about your own teammates? Seeing how affectionately they call RNG's Dog, Tiger, and Pot, is Dog a spy!]

The camera then cut to RNG's side, where Lin Xiu was initially introducing...

"Tiger is still young, quite young, but he looks a bit awkward."

The camera then cut to the contestant's back, focusing on a chubby figure. Lin Xiu blurted out without thinking:

"Whose pig coin is this?"

As soon as the other person turned around, Faker's expression changed drastically; it was Uzi.

Lin Xiu was also startled, his voice instantly becoming eight octaves weaker:

"Hey, hehe, I just, I didn't see clearly, it's Brother Dog, it's okay then."

【? ? ? 】

[Dare to criticize Uzi? You're finished!]

As an Uzi fan, I think they do look quite alike.

The mixed-breed dog in front is definitely a KRD mix.

This lightning-fast admission of defeat caused the live chat to suddenly explode.

After admitting his mistakes a few times, Lin Xiu's attention was quickly drawn to the battle.

In the first game, EDG was on the red side, and their draft was a complete mess.

RNG secured Ashe, and their jungler and support picked Elise and Thresh, putting them on a fast track to victory.

"Is Nofe still asleep?"

Lin Xiu started yelling right there in the lounge.

"With Uzi getting Ashe, Zet's Caitlyn is half useless. Not only can she not win in lane, but she also can't push towers."

"The most outrageous thing is letting Scout play Karma? Making a carry play a weak character, who's going to carry?"

"Relying on the factory manager's Graves? With his playstyle, Graves is just a large infantryman in his hands."

"4396? I doubt it!"

"I've said it many times, you need to look at the IDs when drafting. If you only look at the draft, Graves and Karma can help Caitlyn get farmed up, and then Caitlyn has a long range in team fights, so she has a lot of room to perform."

"But can you, Zet, farm up the economy against Uzi?"

"Uzi is a god!"

Surprisingly, none of the argumentative individuals in the live stream raised any objections.

Because this draft was visibly terrible, some EDG fans even switched sides as soon as they saw it.

[After three months of anticipation, this is the first thing they do, and it's a disaster. If they're going to mess things up like this, they might as well let Lin Gou take over.]

[After a month of preparation, this is what they pull out?]

[Last time it was 2-0, haven't you learned your lesson?]

As expected, with overwhelming support, EDG lost their crystal in just over thirty minutes under RNG's relentless offensive.

Lin Xiu sighed:

"Scout can't play these kinds of heroes. The lifeline of this team is for him to carry. If he plays a mediocre hero and supports the AD, EDG will be cutting off their own arms."

Faker pondered for a moment and then said softly:

"Nofe also wanted to try and trust Zet. In this kind of crucial BO5, if you can create tactical variables at the beginning and win one game, the whole situation will tilt infinitely in your favor."

"However, this result doesn't seem very good."

In the second game, EDG switched to the blue side and learned their lesson, giving Scout his signature Ryze, and the bot lane was also a versatile Varus and Lulu.

For some reason, RNG picked Jayce for Xiaohu in the mid lane.

Lin Xiu burst out laughing in the lounge:

"Haha, picking Jayce for Xiaohu? Is RNG going to throw the game? That's quite the social nicety, is this what they call reciprocity?"

"Scout can use Ryze's W to kite Xiaohu to death!"

This time, the comments section was filled with differing opinions.

[You're incredibly audacious! How dare you curse General Tiger?]

[You look down on Xiaohu, huh? The number one domestic mid-laner isn't someone to be trifled with!]

[Actually, I also thought it was over. Xiaohu simply doesn't know how to play a champion like Jayce.]

However, Faker, who always speaks up for Xiaohu, kept quiet and did not refute Lin Xiu.

As expected, Xiaohu's Jayce didn't gain any advantage over Scout during the development phase.

Furthermore, they frequently lost points during team fights, ultimately giving up the game.

EDG narrowly won a game.

"How about it, guys? I told you so, didn't I? Xiaohu really can't play Jayce."

Lin Xiu looked smug, while Lee Sang-hyeok remained silent, his pen drawing a heavy circle on his notebook:

"Lin, RNG won't make the same mistake again in the next game."

Lee Sang-hyeok's prediction was correct.

In the third game, RNG stopped their unconventional strategies and adopted an extremely aggressive, head-on lineup that left EDG breathless.

Mlxg's ruthless playstyle of ganking instead of farming put the steady and methodical Clearlove on the defensive at every turn.

Scout's only strength is thus repeatedly limited, preventing him from dominating other lanes.

As the black-and-white images on the screen steadily declined, the fans' hearts sank completely.

Just as RNG capitalized on Clearlove's mistake in the mid lane, they rushed down Baron Nashor.

When they returned home to regroup and prepare for the three-pronged attack,

Lin Xiu saw the studio door suddenly open.

Abu waved vigorously at himself and Faker.

"To turn the tide when all hope is lost, and to prevent the collapse of an already crumbling edifice."

"Brothers, don't be afraid, EDG 3:2 RNG is in the bag."

"I will take action!"

The moment the words were spoken, the live stream went black.
