Wang Hao said this half jokingly and half with emotion.

Everyone on the LG team can see that there is no difference between the online strength of KTB's three lines and EDG's online strength.

DUKE in the top lane is naturally inferior to Xiao Min. Nami and Curly in the bottom lane are probably evenly matched with Score. RYU in the mid lane is still much stronger than U.

However, in terms of jungle offensiveness and initiative, insect is slightly stronger than Ruoyan.

But even in this situation, KTB tried several times to use the mid and jungle to take the initiative to open up the situation, but they were blocked by Xiao Min's strong Rambo and EDG's overall operation.

Finally, wait until the mouse is fully developed and take over the game.

"It should be that the previous match between LG.G and OMG had some impact on the players and coaches of EDG. Xiao Min also knew about this style of play before, so he was able to pick it up so quickly."

Because they had an advantage in the early game, they were still very confident in their own style of play, and LG.S also played in a similar way to them, which further increased OMG's confidence in their own style of play.

It's just purer than the previous two games. They chose almost the same lineup as LG.G, with Shyvana on the top lane, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Clockwork in the middle, and the Kog'Maw and Lulu combination on the bottom lane.

In addition to OMG and EDG, there are many other teams and players like them in LPL.

The group stage of iem is a double-elimination system. If you lose once, you still have a chance to fight back from the loser group.

EDG won the team battle directly and won the second game.

"I feel like we could have played a little more aggressively here. We obviously had vision, so we should have been more decisive."

Guozai said jokingly.

It is almost a replica of LG.G's playing style, but this lineup is more aggressive and more capable than LG.G's lineup that day.

"After all, he's Xiao Min. We can't waste this strong player. I believe EDG didn't buy Xiao Min just to let him play tank. That would be a waste of Xiao Min's carry ability."

"Okay, Jiajun, Lingyao, stop looking and eat. The food will get cold if you wait."

In the first game, C9 chose an early lineup with the bottom lane as the core, hoping to use the strong bottom lane of Lucian and Thresh to break through EDG's bottom lane.

"It's not bad. C9 is much easier to beat than those two Korean teams. It's not bad to let the Koreans fight among themselves."

The first game of the knockout stage is between EDG and Team C.

After playing a few training games and having lunch, the EDG team set off by car to head to today's competition venue for today's knockout round.

"It's a pity to play against C9. Actually, it would be pretty good if we could play against Korean teams all the way up."

"That's true. KTB is indeed very strong and really hard to beat." Nami said.

"This commander is really strong."

"Yeah, I think LG.G can also refer to EDG's play style. Relying only on the carry ability of the mid and bottom is too single-minded and can be easily targeted."

Stateless said, pointing at the screen.

Unlike EDG, OMG's mid and jungle did not focus on LG.G's operations, but instead focused on their own mistakes.

Watching Zhang Yu's performance in a series of games, even though he is as confident as a nobody, he can't help but admire him.

Although they are not afraid of the Korean team, the Korean team is still very strong, as can be seen from the fact that there are two Korean teams in the semi-finals.

Zhang Yu guessed so.

At this time, in the Magic City, Jing'an District, inside the OMG base.

After all, the pressure from the two LG giants is too great, forcing people to move forward. They are some of the most talented people in the industry, and no one wants to just watch others shine.

Xiaosan shouted loudly at the dining table.

But at this time, OMG's mid and jungle were still sitting in front of the computer screen, watching the video of LG.G playing against them, as well as the video of LG.S playing against other teams.

"But I feel that EDG has also made some improvements to this system. They invested a lot of resources in the top lane in the early stage, allowing the top laner to serve as the team support in the early and mid-term. This is a little different from LG.G's play style."

Hou Haotian also has some opinions about LG.G's long-standing style of playing tanky in the top lane, and he just brought them up using EDG as an example.

This is the only thought in Wu Xiang's mind.

There were no major twists and turns in the two games, and both ended with EDG's victory. EDG defeated C9 cleanly with a score of 2-0 and advanced to the finals.

Soon the results of another group in IEM came out, and the C9 team from North America and another Korean team C** team broke through.

Another qualifying team from Group A where EDG is located is KTB. After losing to EDG, they defeated FNC and fought back from the loser group, successfully advancing.

The top four teams of the iem Masters Cup League of Legends have all been announced, EDG, KTB, C9, and C** team.

"This is EDG, what do you think of the other teams?"

Some, like EDG, learn LG.G's tactics and playstyles. Some, like OMG, take LG.S's strong players as their goal and hone their own strength.

It is a good idea to encounter strong enemies as late as possible and let them fight each other first.

Abu reminded again before getting off the car.

Abu said with a smile.

But it’s different in the semi-finals. It’s a BO3 format. If you lose, you’re eliminated. There’s no second chance.

However, under Clearlove's clever level 2 gank tactic, the core of C9 was caught and killed shortly after he sent out his troops. Afterwards, Ruoyan visited the bottom lane several times, and Lucian died three times in a row. C9 was at a disadvantage in the early stage, and the overall strategy collapsed directly.

"Yeah, I made a mistake here too..."

The matchups of the top four were released at the same time, EDG vs. C9, and KTB vs. C**.

In the mid-term team battle, the two big tanks, Prince and Dragon Lady, rushed into the C9 formation with Clockwork's ball at will, and the Big Mouth cooperated with Lulu to output as they pleased.

Nami joked that Iem played very well this time, and was the absolute main C of the team in the middle and late stages both times, so he is full of confidence now.

Seeing EDG's progress, Zhang Yu also felt a little pressure and couldn't help but sigh.

In the first game, EDG still used the consistent tactics in this match against iem, the LG.G style of play.

"It feels like our opponents are also improving very quickly. As soon as we show our stuff, they learn it. It feels like we also have to keep learning and improving ourselves."

After seeing this, Uzi reviewed the game, quickly ate a few bites of food, and started playing rank again.

At this time, time passed quickly, and it was morning in Poland again. The EDG players also got out of bed.

"I will definitely be as strong as him."

They emphasize the laning operations of the top, mid and jungle, conservative development of the bottom lane, and strengthening the coordination between the jungler and the support. These are some of the experiences they learned from facing the failure of LG.G and learning from LG.S.

Given the current situation within the LPL, let’s turn our attention back to EDG which is currently in Poland.

There is no way. C9's current strongest core is their AD sneaky. They relied on him to play in the group stage and enter the semi-finals.

"Alright, alright, the groups have been decided, let's prepare for how to play against our opponents in today's elimination round."

In the second game, C9 changed their strategy and chose a late-game lineup, but EDG chose Jayce for Xiao Min in the top lane.

Although there was no accuracy bonus, Xiao Min still relied on Jayce's thorough understanding of Jayce's details and Ruoyan's gank to defeat the opponent's Rumble.

The collapse of the top lane soon caused the collapse of the three lanes, and EDG's second game ended quickly.

There is a lot of EDG content in these chapters, so I will write it faster. This is mainly to reflect the overall changes in LPL and the protagonist's role in promoting the overall LPL.

I got off work late today, so don't read the second chapter yet. I'll come back tomorrow morning.
