March 17, 2014, IEM competition in Katowice, Poland.

"Hey, I didn't expect that we would make it to the finals just like this."

Edzhu happily paced around the backstage lounge. As it was his club's first world championship, Edzhu also came to the competition site and was very excited.

It’s no wonder that Ed Zhu is so happy as he made it to the finals in his first world championship.

However, since the boss is so happy, the players are in a relatively normal mood. After all, EDG's players have basically seen big scenes.

What the contestants want most is to win the championship. When they reach the final stage, the runner-up is just a consolation.

"Just play normally. In the first round, we will use the tactic we used the most this time to see if they have any countermeasures."

EDG was well prepared and chose Twitch and Rambo as the last two picks.

It was KTB's turn to choose. After suffering the loss of the combination of Kog'Maw and Lulu in the previous round, KTB directly picked Thresh and Kog'Maw in the bottom lane, breaking up the Kog'Maw and Lulu combination.

After taking down the Ziggs, the KTB players were still not satisfied and decided to attack the little dragon, hoping to take advantage of EDG's lack of players and take down the little dragon to expand their advantage.

KTB team is on the purple side, with Shyvana on top, Lee Sin in the jungle, Syndra in the mid lane, and Kog'Maw and Thresh in the bottom lane.

"The other side is not that easy to deal with."

The two teams' lineups are as follows:

Soon both parties received the notice and were about to go on stage to compete.

It was around four or five in the afternoon in Poland, which was around 11 o'clock in China, which was exactly the time when a group of people like Zhang Yu were active.

So the blind monk kept coming to the middle lane, trying to catch U's Ziggs, but U's character was cautious and he was using his real hero, Ziggs, so it was not that easy to catch him.

Everyone looked carefully and found that a rat had somehow switched lanes and ran to the top lane, and used the Prince's ultimate to kill him.

Moreover, through previous games, KTB realized that EDG's biggest weakness was the mid laner U, so they decided to treat U as a soft persimmon and want to squeeze him.

"Uh-huh……"

Everyone in KTB also realized that there was still a gap between the top laners of both sides, so they finally chose Shyvana, a strong top laner in this version. They don’t have to worry about being suppressed, and it is also effective in team battles.

"Yeah, this wave is very profitable, a little dragon and a kill, these three flashes are worth it."

"Yes……"

But the KTB people were not very satisfied. After taking down the little dragon, they went straight to EDG's bottom lane, wanting to take this opportunity to take down EDG's bottom lane tower.

Seeing this, Ruoyan couldn't help but feel a little angry at this time. He looked intently and thought, EDG chose the prince.

"come on!"

EDG chose first, and their first pick was Lulu, a swing hero who can play as a mid or support.

The players from both teams then gathered together and shouted in unison.

On the way of retreat, KTB came to EDG's middle lane again, trying to catch them off guard, but Ziggs' ultimate skill fell from the sky again, and the military line disappeared again.

Although it's just the IEM Cup, which is not as good as the S-League, it's exciting enough to score.

Until the fifteenth minute, Lee Sin had been camping in the middle lane four or five times, but still gained nothing. U's Ziggs turned into a defensive tower and had no flaws.

They were all prepared today, watching the game and cheering for Xiao Min.

One tower in exchange for one dragon, this deal is not a loss, EDG expressed satisfaction.

But finally three minutes later, Insect finally showed off his famous skills in the middle lane, a roundhouse kick, and three flashes, and finally cooperated with Syndra and Thresh to kill Ziggs in seconds.

“…………”

Without a line of soldiers, the tower naturally could not be pushed down, so they had to retreat helplessly.

So the final battle will start between EDG and KTB.

“Fighting!”

“Here it comes…”

At this time, both sides had just banned heroes and started hero selection.

Seeing EDG's last two choices, coach KTB immediately realized that something was wrong.

RYU said in the team voice while cooperating in killing the little dragon.

In this game, KTB still carried forward their previous style, taking the initiative and trying to use the strong mid and jungle to break EDG.

On the contrary, Ruoyan's Prince took advantage of this time to eat up a lot of Lee Sin's resources, and also went to the bottom lane and caught a kill of Big Mouth.

In the last round of the civil war, KTB lost the first game, but eventually came back from 1-2 down to win the bo3 victory.

————————————————————

However, U showed off a bit when choosing the mid laner and stayed on Zed's avatar for a few seconds, which made RYU's face gloomy and the audience couldn't help laughing.

The sound came from far away and Wang Hao ran over with a bowl of instant noodles.

"Come on, come on, the game is about to start, Mouse."

"Excited? World champion?"

In insect's opinion, Ruoyan was still defeated by the All-Stars. In the last round of games, their mid and jungle did not lose, they only lost the top and bottom lanes and the lineup.

Insect previously represented the Korean All-Star team in the 2013 All-Star Championship, so naturally his mentality was much calmer.

EDG team is on the blue side, with Rumble on top, Jarvan IV on jungle, Ziggs in the middle, and Rat and Lulu on bottom lane.

After taking down Dragon Lady, EDG's bottom lane and jungler took down KTB's top lane tower together.

But the matter is done, there is no time to think too much and I can only focus on the final choice.

At this time, in another lounge not far away, sat the members of KTB team, EDG's final opponent.

Abu was nervously giving instructions to the players on the team, hoping that they could perform at their best and shine the brightest.

Abu slapped his thigh in the audience and shouted happily.

"Okay, I knew you guys wanted to rob the big mouth."

When it came to the finals, the LG team finally found Iem's live broadcast address on the Twichi platform, and they all sat in front of the stage to watch the game.

Soon both sides entered the game and the competition officially began.

But just when the KTB team rushed to the tower with the soldiers, suddenly Rambo used his ultimate skill and cleared all the soldiers.

Yes, there are only two teams left in this IEM Cup, EDG and KTB.

Next, KTB tried to use the mid and jungle to open up the situation many times, but was resolved one by one by EDG. Active attacks often yielded no results and often resulted in losses.

The team members also nodded in approval.

But at this moment, KTB's top laner Dragon Girl suddenly shouted for help.

The situation finally ended in a team fight at 31 minutes, but this time it was no longer KTB who took the initiative.

During a push by KTB in the middle lane, Ruoyan's Prince cut in from the flank and used his ultimate to cover the three mid, bottom and support players of KTB.

Rambo and Ziggs also used their ultimate skills at this time. Although Kog'Maw flashed away in time, he was already left with little health.

However, this is not the end yet. Just when Kog'Maw thought he had escaped death, Rat suddenly emerged from the darkness, used his ultimate move, and shot Kog'Maw and the rest of KTB.

After a perfect team battle, EDG drove straight into the middle lane and flattened KTB's base.
