Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

After returning to practice matches, Zhou Hanyang immediately immersed himself in ranked training.

On July 4th and July 5th, everyone played practice matches.

In such an intercontinental competition, it's naturally impossible for teams to practice against teams from other regions.

All of them are teams from their own region, and they play practice matches against each other.

Since the Intercontinental Cup uses version 7.12, the same version as the regular season, and all three regions have a large amount of data from their regular season matches, there isn't a significant difference in version compatibility.

July 6th arrived as scheduled!

The first match after the opening ceremony was between LCK's SSG team and LMS's JT team.

SSG is, after all, the original S7 champion team, and although they completed the version evolution at the World Championship.

But they must first meet certain minimum requirements in order to complete this evolution.

This undoubtedly proves that these people have quite good basic skills.

How could JT possibly be a match for the champion team SSG?

SSG easily defeated them!

The second match was between LPL's OMG team and LCK's MVP team.

MVP team finished fourth in the LCK Spring Split, earning them the opportunity to participate in this Rift Rivals tournament.

The current lineup of the OMG team is actually quite good.

Top laner: Sunset; Mid laner: Cold; AD carry: Sima Laozei.

These three players are all very strong carry players in the LPL right now.

Despite some setbacks, they managed to defeat MVP in their match.

The third match was EDG's turn!

EDG's opponent is SSG, who just defeated the LMS region's JT team!

After a long advertising break, it quickly came to 4 o'clock, the start time for the third game.

"Welcome back, I'm Xiaosan!" Liang Xiaosan's voice rang out first.

"I am Guan Zeyuan!" Guan Zeyuan waved and greeted Da Zhao.

"I am Zhou Shuyi!" Zhou Shuyi smiled. At this time, Zhou Shuyi had not yet undergone any 'minor adjustments'. Not only were her facial features not as harmonious as they would later be, but her skin also looked very dark.

"OMG won the last match with a close call," Guan Zeyuan said. "This is undoubtedly a boost for our LPL teams!"

“That’s right!” Xiaosan said with a smile, “OMG was a top 4 team in the LPL Spring Split, and MVP was a top 4 team in the LCK!”

Our LPL's first seed, EDG, is stronger than LCK's first seed, SKT; our fourth seed is also stronger than LCK's fourth seed!

Liang Xiaosan has not yet attained enlightenment in Taicang. He has not yet let Summoners know that 'Baron Nashor' is quite big, and his commentary style is relatively conventional.

"Although SSG just defeated JT, they were only the third place team in the LCK Spring Split, and they are no match for EDG!"

Zhou Shuyi's game analysis isn't entirely nonexistent, but it's arguably even worse than the reader's; she just spouts nonsense: "So it seems that as long as EDG successfully defeats SSG, our LPL will have two points in hand... the advantage is on our side!!!"

As she said this, she even made a fist gesture.

Guan Zeyuan and Liang Xiaosan were immediately speechless.

In the midst of the nonsensical literary commentary, the ten-odd minutes passed quickly.

The BP logo appeared on the big screen.

"It's here! The match has finally begun!" Guan Zeyuan said, clearly very excited.

"SSG is a team that plays around the top lane, and Ambition is also a jungler who likes to help the top lane."

Their style is quite similar to EDG's in some ways; it'll be interesting to see what kind of sparks fly when the two teams clash.

"This game... wait? SSG on the blue side had their first ban empty?" Liang Xiaosan looked surprised. "Did they not find a hero?"

"Really empty-handed?" Zhou Shuyi's eyes widened, as clear as a college student's.

……

Seeing SSG's first empty ban, Nofe was clearly taken aback: "What's going on?"

Zhou Hanyang shook his head slightly and took the initiative to say, "Let's ban Zac first!"

Since the first ban was on the first floor, Zhou Hanyang proactively revealed Zac.

The red team's ban/pick strategy was based on the blue team's, and it's normal that Nofe was a little surprised that SSG wasn't banned.

“OK!” Nofe nodded immediately: “Then ban Zac.”

Zhou Hanyang, on the first floor of the red team, banned Zac.

In the previous match, SSG also opted for an empty ban phase, and EDG initially held a significant advantage.

When it came time to select characters, Scout pulled a stunt by not selecting any characters on the third floor, causing the game to restart immediately.

After the restart, both sides scrapped their bans and picks and started over, wasting their advantage of having no bans.

Zhou Hanyang would certainly not allow this situation to occur now.

After EDG banned Zac, SSG continued banning champions.

They banned Spider and Galio.

These are the two heroes that no team wants to give to EDG right now.

EDG continued to ban Malzahar and Varus.

Don't ask, the answer is that SSG won the championship with these two heroes.

Zhou Hanyang felt that their heroes could handle this version, so it was better to ban their signature heroes.

After the ban phase, SSG, on the blue side, chose the Excavator on the first floor!

"Huh? Master An actually snatched the excavator?" Guan Zeyuan's forehead was full of question marks.

"What will EDG pick? Oh?" ​​Liang Xiaosan followed up: "EDG will lock in Ashe and LeBlanc immediately?"

"So SSG can only be dismantled? Kalista and Braum? They're not giving either of those to EDG?" Zhou Shuyi said with a straight face, "Then what should EDG pick? Tahm Kench?"

EDG chose Rakan on the third floor!
