One of their characteristics is that all the players in their team are from Guangdong and Hong Kong, which is why they are called EP.HK. The five players are: top laner ep.hk.domhox, jungler ep.hk.buping, mid laner ep.hk.supercat , ADC ep.hk.kane, support ep.hk.laopi. Since they are all registered directly in mainland China, they are not counted as foreign players, but directly participated in the city competitions in the South China division and fought their way up.

From Zhang Yu and his team's observation of the game yesterday and the analysis of the EP.HK team's previous game videos, it can be seen that the strength of EP.HK players is relatively evenly distributed, with no outstanding carry points, which is quite similar to the style of the DC team they encountered before.

But there are also differences. The lack of carry points in EP.HK team can be transformed into all five players can carry if they are in good shape. This is also the point where EP.HK team is stronger than DC team.

Moreover, based on all the game situations of the EP.HK team, they can obviously see that there is a coach behind the scenes who is guiding them. The overall team tactical style and ban selection are relatively systematic, and the cooperation within the team is also relatively tacit.

As expected, as a team originating from the Guangdong and Hong Kong regions where the e-sports system is relatively mature, the overall team logistics system is still very formal.

Both teams sat down and began to ban and select.

EP.HK team banned Jayce in the first ban, which was also a fixed ban against LG. Of course, this team had a certain understanding of LG team.

The LG team then banned Card in return. Yesterday, the mid laner of the EP.HK team used the hero Card to disrupt the rhythm of the Rstars team.

In fact, in terms of hard power, the Rstars team is not weaker than the EP.HK team. It can even be said that it is slightly stronger. However, the EP.HK team relies on the tacit understanding between the Card Master and the team itself to lead Rstars by the nose.

Therefore, if Zhang Yu and others don't want to take it, they will naturally not be stubborn and it is better to ban it.

EP.HK team then banned Zac and Kha'Zix, two of the stronger heroes in this version.

LG team's next two bans were Caitlyn and Zed. Caitlyn is the ADC of EP.HK team and the hero that Kane is best at. It can be said that she is his main character. He can often achieve certain effects when he gets her.

This kind of hero is just like LG team's Jayce. There is often no need to be stubborn and just ban him directly. Forcing yourself to show off will often only bring trouble to yourself.

After both sides have banned, they start selecting heroes.

EP.HK chose Rumble on the top lane, Lee Sin on the jungle, Annie on the mid lane, and Varus and Blitzcrank on the bottom lane.

These picks are all relatively strong heroes in the online team. It seems that EP.HK wants to have a good fight with the LG team.

The LG team chose Spider on top, Nasus on jungle, Syndra on mid, and Ezreal and Sona on bottom lane.

Originally, Nasus was going to be used in the top lane, but when the opponent chose Rumble to play top lane, he switched between Nasus and Elise.

Moreover, when facing an opponent that is composed entirely of heroes without displacement, Nasus's Wither can often have a better effect than Spider Web.

At the same time, this is also the first time that Zhang Yu chose Syndra on the field, which is quite worth looking forward to.

After both sides have selected their heroes, the game begins loading.

"The enemy line is so fierce, you guys should take it easy."

Guozai looked at the opposing team's lineup and gave a reminder.

"It's okay. We are also very strong. It's just that the blind man on the opposite side is a bit troublesome."

As expected, the online confrontation between the two sides in the early stages was extremely fierce. Although no kills were produced, it was still terrifying to watch.

However, since Lee Sin's early-game ability was still much stronger than Nasus's, the LG team did not dare to fight too hard, so they still suffered a small loss and had a certain economic disadvantage in the laning phase.

The game time keeps advancing, but still no kills are generated.

Finally, the game time reached seven minutes.

The LG team, which was slightly at a disadvantage in the early stage, took the lead. After Syndra reached level 6, she returned to the city and sent a wave of soldiers to support the top lane.

"Xiao Min, here I come, ready to jump up and fight him."

Zhang Yu said in the team voice.

"OK."

When Xiao Min heard Zhang Yu say this, he quickly used a Q to bite him.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu did not save his skills and directly flashed QE to push the ball to stun Rambo.

Then he directly used the ultimate skill, and a series of black balls hit Rambo directly, and with the damage of the spider, Rambo was instantly reduced to low health.

In the end, Syndra killed Rumble with a Dark Sphere and took the first blood directly. The Lee Sin who came over with W to rescue people was also hit and flashed away.

"Great! Not only did we get Rambo's kill, but we also forced Lee Sin to dodge. Big profit."

Guozai said excitedly. He felt a little suffocated after being suppressed by Lee Sin for a long time. Now that Lee Sin didn't flash, he felt much more comfortable.

"Finally I can go out a little and fight them. It's too uncomfortable to be pinned down by Varus under the tower."

Wang Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yu’s roaming this time reduced LG’s online pressure a lot, but EP.HK was not impatient. After all, if the game really dragged on to the late stage, they would still be in a good position.

In the mid-game, both sides played very steadily and were no longer as aggressive as before. Instead, they each chose to set up vision to farm and push towers, and exchange various resources.

Xiang Guo used Nasus's wither skill to gank the upper and lower lanes twice, which also created a certain economic advantage and vision advantage.

But EP.HK is a mature team after all. Although they were unable to make up for the economic disadvantage, they relied on excellent tactical exchanges and team tacit understanding to prevent the economic disadvantage from widening. Instead, they maintained an acceptable level.

The game time reached twenty-eight minutes.

The two sides began to compete for vision in the Baron area and eventually met at the Baron.

EP.HK's mid laner Annie immediately flashed and used her ultimate to stun three players. She then used a series of skills to drain Nasus and Sona to low health.

"Oh no, I'm going to die."

Guozai and Ruoxia exclaimed at the same time.

Nasus quickly used his ultimate to maintain his health, and Sona could only use her ultimate at her last bit of health.

"Nice, beautiful, cat boy, you finally show your power."

"Go, go, go, kill them in seconds."

There was a burst of excitement in the EP.HK team's voice chat, and several people rushed forward at the same time. Two people on the opposite side would die first, and with five against three left, they would definitely win.

However, they did not notice that they were all concentrated in a narrow opening during the pursuit.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the opponent chasing him, Zhang Yu quickly used his ultimate skill on Annie, who was at the front and had little health, and killed her instantly, with many dark orbs scattered on the ground.

At this time, the members of the EP.HK team had already rushed to Syndra.

"The weak ones, retreat."

The densely packed magic balls on the ground were pushed towards the rushing enemies.

In an instant, the remaining four members of the EP.HK team were all stunned on the spot.

"Beautiful, Brother Yu."

Wang Hao's ez quickly launched a precise barrage of bullets and swiped towards the four people who were stunned.

“Three kills.”

Although EP.HK's Annie's ultimate and teammates killed Sona first in this wave, all the team members were knocked unconscious by Syndra during the pursuit and then hit by the Explorer's ultimate, and were eventually killed by EZ.

After this battle, LG flattened the EP.HK base in one wave.

LG team won all the group matches 3-0 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
