LOL: I love sharp reviews and have become a professional expert

"They are underestimating their opponents too much. They have been getting crushed for two years, and LCK still hasn't changed their habit of testing their opponents with arrogance."

Inside the RNG base, Xiangguo casually tossed a can of Coke to Xiaohu, then opened one for himself, tilted his head back, and gulped it down, squinting contentedly.

Not only was he watching the match, but the other RNG players were too.

After all, the club is in its off-season at this time, and apart from the scheduled training matches, RNG gives the players a lot of free time.

From the perspective of professional players, although SKT's tactical system shows that they have put a lot of thought into it, their long-term dominance over weaker teams in the domestic league has clearly led them to underestimate EDG's strength.

Just because EDG's performance in this year's Spring Split wasn't as impressive as SKT's in the LCK, does that mean EDG is no good?

It's important to understand that EDG in the playoffs and the regular season are completely different teams.

Judging from EDG's performance in the first round of the group stage, they seem to have made a new evolution.

Facing a EDG team in such excellent form, SKT didn't use the operational system that LCK is best at and honestly play a defensive counter-attack strategy. Instead, they dared to take the initiative and choose a strong poke lineup, which was really too arrogant.

SKT is still struggling on the field.

EDG, on the other hand, was not in a hurry.

After securing the Baron buff, EDG unleashed their ultimate torment strategy.

Doinb's development in the early game was already quite good, and he participated in two team fights in the mid-game, so his equipment was far ahead of Akali's.

With the added bonus of magic penetration boots, Doinb's Corki now possesses incredible poke power and should not be underestimated.

Furthermore, every time Doinb's poke hits an enemy hero, Su Mu's Deadly Brilliance skill always seems to have eyes, instantly following up and delivering a double blow to the enemy.

Meanwhile, after establishing good vision control around the area, EDG immediately launched a 4-1 split push strategy.

This put SKT in a dilemma: they wanted to initiate team fights but couldn't find a suitable opportunity, and their split-pushing strategy couldn't overcome EDG's.

After finally enduring until EDG's Baron buff expired, SKT had already lost two of their three inhibitor turrets and crystal.

Earth, Fire, Earth, Fire—this is the spawn order of these four little dragons today, a truly perfect dragon sequence.

Unfortunately, EDG has now firmly grasped all these advantages.

In this intense match, SKT was unable to hold out until the second Baron Nashor spawned and was forced to retreat.

When the game time reached 25 minutes and 11 seconds, SKT had no choice but to surrender, thus ending their defeat.

After this match, the internet exploded, with SKT fans and haters engaging in a fierce war of words.

One fan joked, "Two years to hone a sword, and after 25 minutes of cutting, we found we still needed to hone it."

Some tried to comfort her: "It's just a group stage match. Would you immediately show off your royal flush when you're playing cards?"

Someone else said sarcastically, "Oh right, I actually figured it out this time. SKT was hiding their tactics again."

Of course, there are also voices that have confidence in SKT: "The game is not over yet. One BO1 doesn't mean anything. Don't forget S6. SKT will come back in the second round of the group stage."

"Ah, yes, yes..."

After the match, Flandre was clearly still a bit unsatisfied, muttering, "I didn't have enough fun."

SKT, that's the SKT that's famous in the League of Legends world.

Saint Gun debuted very early, and when he entered the professional arena, it happened to be during a relatively dark period for the LPL region.

At that time, Flandre, who had never entered the World Championship, didn't even have the right to face SKT and be "abused" by them. In his mind, SKT was like a legendary existence.

Before this match, although Flandre didn't say it, he was actually a little nervous and excited inside.

During the LCK Spring Split, he put a lot of effort into studying Khan and finally concluded that Khan was incredibly strong. Despite being much older than him, Khan's skill was ridiculously high.

However, after this head-on clash, the powerful image of SKT in Flandre's mind vanished like a bubble.

Saint Gun couldn't help but think: Is that all?

As expected, my teammates are still stronger.

Especially Mu Ge. Faker has three championships, but he has never beaten Mu Ge's two championships. Mu Ge is indeed awesome.

On the other hand, the SKT team seemed to have suffered a heavy blow from this defeat.

Khan was in a slightly better position. He was targeted more in this match, so he was holding back his anger and was not convinced.

Clid and Faker fell silent, knowing full well that their mid-jungle duo was far inferior to the support EDG's mid-jungle duo provided to their teammates in this match.

Unlike their silence, Teddy and Effort looked utterly dejected.

They were filled with helplessness; they simply couldn't win, they really couldn't.

They chose a seemingly very strong lineup, but they not only failed to gain an advantage in the laning phase, but also failed to seize any of the key moments in the mid-game, completely falling into an awkward situation where they couldn't win in lane or team fights.

When the EDG players came over with smiles and shook hands, the SKT players felt incredibly sad.

But a loss is a loss. The only thing they can do is go back and review the game, and try to win back their pride in the next match.

Aside from Su Mu's unique interview style, the EDG team has always maintained a humble and low-key attitude.

Especially after this match, Jiejie, who was in charge of the interview, kept in mind the manager Abu's instructions.

After all, Jiejie is still a rookie jungler. He's just arrived and is participating in a major tournament like MSI. If he makes too many boastful statements, the backlash could be quite severe if he's proven wrong later.

Out of consideration for the player's mental state, Abu asked Jiejie to be more reserved during the interview.

When Jiejie mentioned the strengths of both teams in the interview, she did indeed tone down her remarks and did not make any overly aggressive statements.

With the final match concluded, the final results of the group stage are finally in! The list of teams advancing is as follows:

LPL: EDG!

LCK: SKT!

LEC: G2!

LCS: TL!

The dominance displayed by the four major competition zones is truly breathtaking.

Compared to EDG's glorious undefeated record, SKT's performance was rather disappointing.

Among the many members of SKT, Clid's performance has been particularly controversial, almost drowning out criticism from netizens and receiving a barrage of insults.

A barrage of criticism, such as "One ban on Lee Sin, immediate retirement," "Hero Bowl," and "Spoon-shaped jungler," rained down on Clid like a barrage of artillery fire.

However, faced with these accusations, Clid found himself in a difficult situation, unable to refute them at all.

He knew in his heart, and had to admit, that as a veteran jungler who had been fighting in the e-sports field for a long time, his hero pool did have shortcomings and seemed relatively shallow.

Prior to this tournament, Clid had always adhered to the principle of "good enough" when choosing and practicing heroes.

In his mind, he never imagined that the opponent would spend so many ban slots specifically targeting him, who was not a core member of the team.

After all, this situation is extremely rare in previous competitions.

But things are unpredictable. When he encountered the EDG team, EDG focused their tactics on him.

During the ban/pick phase, they preferred to ignore many heroes that other teams considered key threats or thorns in their side, in order to target the heroes used by Clid.

This approach undoubtedly demonstrates that the EDG team has strong capabilities to back it up, giving them the confidence to do so.

For the SKT team, this is undoubtedly a thorny problem that urgently needs to be solved.

However, the troubles facing coach Kkoma are far from over.
