You actually want me to...

The elemental dragon's health began to drop, and the TES team had already started to consider taking the elemental dragon. Monkey's invisibility didn't last long, and he seemed ready to sacrifice his true form at any moment.

However, just as everyone was concentrating on being wary of each other...

However, the sharp-eyed Genshin Impact player spotted Poppy using her W ability to block the entrance to the dragon pit, and then charging up her ultimate ability to swing her hammer.

"This madman, could he possibly be a prophet?"

Seeing Poppy's resolute demeanor blocking the way, Genshin Impact had no choice but to grit his teeth and forcefully activate his W skill to charge in, trying to bait out Poppy's R skill.

only.

The deception was successful.

Poppy's ultimate didn't hit anyone, but it successfully forced Rongguang's Orianna to reveal her position. At the very moment Wukong landed after his charge, a flash of light almost simultaneously disappeared in front of Nuguri.

Just as he was wondering about the purpose of the flash, the next second, Poppy's wall slam firmly landed on Showmaker's Orianna.

E Flash + Ctrl + 6

Hammer-shaped Poppy, wall slam successful!

TES understood DWG's thinking perfectly well. It's incredibly difficult to stop Wukong from engaging, especially a Wukong picked in Worlds 2. Since he's hard to catch, they might as well let him in. All they had to do was hold down Orianna to prevent her from getting her crowd control abilities immediately.

This strategy was a fatal blow to DWG's entry into the fray.

DWG was already at a huge disadvantage. Even if Wukong's ultimate was executed perfectly, it would be useless if his teammates couldn't follow up with crowd control. Those who know this champion understand.

If you try to control the amount of damage you deal, you won't get much damage output.

If you want to deal a lot of damage, then your ultimate skill won't last long and won't knock up too many people, otherwise this thing would be too invincible.

Orianna couldn't keep up with the monkey's control, which instead allowed Ornn to unleash his ultimate in the river. The narrow river offered little room to dodge, and Ornn landed two hits on her in one go.

As for dragons?

JKL didn't hold back at all. As soon as he saw Graves' position, he quickly and decisively used his ultimate to kill him, cutting off the opponent's chance to steal the dragon.

"Bang~"

As the light of punishment fell, the aura of the Fire Dragon Soul rose beneath the feet of the TES team. After securing the dragon, Lillia and Irelia's entry was unstoppable, completely destroying DWG's backline.

“BeryL is down, Nuguri is next, Knight is still putting up a good fight.”

"Can we take the dragon? JKL's ultimate was very reliable that time, we should be able to secure it!"

"Nice, Fire Dragon Soul! After getting the Fire Dragon Soul, Showmaker seems to be struggling even against Aban's Poppy. The Clockwork has started to run away, but can it escape?"

"Lilia started cleaning up the mess. That silly roe deer is too fast! Now who dares to say Lilia is the version's poison?!"

Cool!

It was incredibly awesome!

As LPL commentators, this match was like drinking an ice-cold Coke on a sweltering summer day—it was incredibly refreshing for them.

That's more like it.

This is the true strength of the LPL.

When even the mid laner of TES started to speak up, countless LPL viewers finally witnessed just how monstrous TES could be when they were fully unleashed.

Especially the middle and lower routes.

If the growth of the opposing Genshin Impact character can be described as a quality upgrade + star-level increase + affinity storyline, then the performance of Knight and the board king here can almost be described as an Elite 2 upgrade + module upgrade + transformation.

After their final comeback failed, DWG naturally didn't want to continue struggling. Rather than letting their mentality be ruined, they figured it was better to end the game early and prepare for the next one.

In the first game, they lost because of the blunders of TES's commander, and they accepted it.

With DWG's tacit approval, TES's subsequent steps went incredibly smoothly. Just over five minutes later, with a huge advantage, they pushed down DWG's base in one fell swoop.

1 to 0.

TES takes the first game.

"We, the ordinary people of Wuhu, are truly happy today!"

"Stop! Stop! We won the game today, why are you using such a terrible punishment to disgust us?"

Hearing Roland humming his victory song, the other four members of TES were completely stunned.

"What's up? You won, shouldn't you be happy for me?"

"It's not that it's impossible, it's just... to hear you sing this song today, it's like the cuckoo crying blood and the ape wailing. You're singing this song before you've even finished the BO5, aren't you afraid that if you lose, the plaintiff... ugh! the original singer will come after you?"

"Indeed, you sang very well, but I suggest you sing again after you've won."

"That's right, that's right. This music should only exist in heaven. How often can one hear it in the mortal world? Such a beautiful song, you should wait until you win to celebrate, Boss."

Seeing his teammates fawning over him one by one, Roland was both amused and exasperated. He knew he didn't have much talent for singing, but surely not to this extent?

However... since it's the finals, I'll let you off the hook today.

Sublimation: Chapter Sixty-Eight: Am I weaker than them?

The resounding victory in the first game of the BO5 finals greatly boosted the confidence of LPL viewers. Unlike DWG's official Weibo account, which was full of pre-match antics, TES maintained a withdrawn demeanor throughout the World Championship, with their official Weibo account only posting regular updates to the hero microphone and barely managing to come up with anything else.

Previously, they always thought that TES was afraid to be too aggressive because their opponents were too strong and they were afraid of being proven wrong. But after they had been hiding their strength for so long, they found that they were all pretending to be weak while actually being strong.

Honestly.

On the surface, the match between TES and G2 was even more thrilling than the match against DWG. At this point, G2's official Weibo account was already drawing a picture of a hanging figure, preparing to tweet a sarcastic remark at DWG.

Why am I so confident?

Because DWG was on the blue side in the first game, and the blue side still had the advantage during S10, not only because they could first pick the jungle carry, but also because the blue side had the advantage of at least two bans. Normally, the blue side's win rate in S10 games would be much higher than that of the red side.

However, DWG lost the first game.

In this second game, TES has a much higher chance of securing match point early.

"In the second game, DWG might go all out, or they might make a move, but by now, I think you're no longer afraid, right?" As he said this, White Crescent's gaze was clearly directed at Roland in the corner, his eyes full of mockery.

TES's current success owes a great deal to this guy.

Since the start of the Summer Split, this guy has been intentionally or unintentionally praising DWG, saying how terrifying they are and how they will be a major threat in the World Championship. He even compared DWG's top laner to TheShy at his peak and their mid laner to Faker at his peak, which really scared a bunch of TES players.

Although this guy is usually unreliable, his predictions are incredibly accurate. For example, in the spring and summer playoffs, the rankings of each team were almost exactly as he predicted, making him seem like a prophet.

Naturally, the TES team was also fully focused on improving themselves and valuing others.

But now that we've faced off, I thought the opponent would be incredibly strong, but after the fight, I realized, "Oh, you're just like that after all."

Yes.

After a lot of hard work, including gathering almost half of the LPL's star players to be their practice partners for the World Championship, they finally mustered their spirits and prepared for a do-or-die battle against the opposing team. But they found that the opposing team's level was only slightly better than when they first entered the World Championship. Who the hell could handle that?

This feeling.

Imagine you've prepared millions in savings, a house, a car, and a dowry, and after years of hard work, you finally stand before your dream girl. She holds up two fingers, and you assume she wants two houses before she'll marry you. But then she opens her mouth and tells you she only costs 2,000 a night, with a 50% discount for the second night. Hearing that, you'd probably want to vomit blood.

"Don't look at me like that. To be honest, do you guys think DWG isn't strong?"

"We're strong, but are we really weak?"

"No, not at all."

"If you don't know how, then what the hell have you been bragging to your dad about for the past six months? You've scared yourself for six months straight, aren't you ashamed?"

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of misconception.

In their previous lives, TES and JDG were recognized as teams capable of challenging DWG to a decisive victory. If it weren't for the inexplicable problems with the players on both teams, it would be uncertain whether SN would have even made it to the finals.

At this time, TES is an upgraded version of its predecessor.

The most stubborn top laner has been replaced by the veteran Flandre, who even Nuguri struggles to handle. The support with the biggest difference has been replaced by the current LPL's best initiation support. In a sense, the coach of the opposing DWG should be the one who is more annoyed.

These two monsters all ended up on one team.

What?

So what if you have money?

Well, having money really is impressive.

If they had money, LCK could assemble all sorts of super teams. Unfortunately, they are really short of money. All the money of Korean teams goes into the pockets of conglomerates. They are not even willing to be generous to their own country's most popular idols, so how could they be interested in small e-sports competitions?

Can't be bothered.

"Alright, let's take a break. There's not much time left in the halftime break. Since we successfully exploited the opponent's mid lane as our breakthrough point in the first game, they will definitely be more vigilant in the second game, and may even prepare their top and support players."

"In other words, the success rate of using tricks against the opponent in the second game is not high." Upon hearing this, the group of people in the room immediately lit up, and they had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

"In that case..."

"Then let's crush them head-on. I want to see the bot lane dominate. At the very least, I want to see Ah Shui like Ghost Emperor in the semifinals, able to single-handedly suppress two opponents. Can you do that?"

Finally, our gaze fell upon the person in the team who was usually assigned the least amount of work.

That's right, JKL.

Due to the weakness of AD carries in S10, and the fact that JKL is very sensible, yes, although he is prone to getting caught by Q and dying easily, he does know very well how to win a game.

Normally, the team's assignments are mostly given to the jungler/support or mid/top laners, and he is naturally aware of this.

But he knew even better that when all the team's calculations came to an end, that would be the time for him to truly shine.

Because he is JKL.

On the surface, he is the LPL's most aggressive and the only world-class AD carry to have ever received an honor.

"Then... leave it to us."

After glancing at his support, JKL replied.

The fifteen-minute break passed in the blink of an eye, and when both players reappeared at the players' seats, the second match had already begun as scheduled.

First round of bans:

TES: Camille, Graves, Sylas

DWG: Twisted Fate, Nidalee, Lucian

Every ban from DWG was initiated by TES, which highlights the weakness of the red side, as seen in this game.

I ban Graves, and if you don't ban Nidalee, I'll first pick her. Those who know Nidalee in Season 10 know how bad she is early game; Canyon's jungle might even completely collapse. The same logic applies to Sylas; it's all about forcing out the opponent's bans and reducing their choices.
