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

Zhou Hanyang's understanding of the version was recognized by everyone, and EDG immediately began training according to Zhou Hanyang's understanding of the version.

At the same time, Zhou Hanyang also asked Abu to do something.

That means contacting IG and having JackeyLove play scrims with them.

IG naturally refused at first. They had to start playing from the second day of the playoffs, and they didn't have much time to train. How could they possibly agree to EDG's unreasonable request?

Zhou Hanyang responded by saying that as long as IG played scrims according to his requirements, they would agree to let him play.

EDG will be IG's practice partner every day!

What kind of team is EDG now?

After winning the MSI championship, coupled with their fierce performance in the Intercontinental Cup and not losing a single point in the regular season, it is no exaggeration to say that they are currently among the top three teams in the world.

Being able to continuously practice against EDG is something IG has always dreamed of.

At first, none of the EDG players understood Zhou Hanyang's suggestion.

But when IG fielded their full roster, everyone at EDG was completely stunned.

Aside from playing a bit strangely in the first two games, IG quickly adapted to the rhythm.

Since there was no pressure, all five players played quite relaxed.

That relaxation led to trouble.

All three lanes were locked in a direct confrontation, with no lane developing properly.

I'm the kind of player who'd rather die than let a jungler come near me.

Mingkai's ability to gank and manage is much better than Ning's, but he can't withstand chaotic battles.

King Ning was incredibly unrestrained, using all sorts of strange attacks.

Even Zhou Hanyang often suffers heavy blows, let alone EDG's mid and bot laners.

Once they got the hang of it, the fully-formed IG team went toe-to-toe with EDG.

Rookie is much stronger than Scout in lane, and JackeyLove is much braver than Iboy.

Although Zhou Hanyang was able to gain an advantage in the top lane, the problem was that he couldn't stop Ning from coming to the top lane all the time.

Not only did they fail to gain a clear advantage in all three lanes, but they also showed no fear in team fights against EDG.

Since it's just a practice match, IG will accept any team fight.

Their team fights were completely disorganized.

Positioning?

Formation?

Front and back rows?

Pulling?

None of that, we just met and started doing it.

IG's seemingly random and chaotic team fights are a perfect counter to EDG's team fight style.

EDG's team fights are so strong because they always deploy in a wide formation, giving the enemy no chance at all.

Simply put, it means getting into position and facing off head-on.

IG, on the other hand, is like Li Yunlong, constantly coming up with all sorts of unconventional ideas.

Under IG's onslaught, EDG realized they couldn't improve their team fights any further, so they simply started competing with IG in terms of individual skill.

It doesn't matter if we don't compete, we'll start by competing on skill.

One person clearly experienced a disconnection.

There were clearly ten people playing on the field, but only nine were shown on screen.

In the end, Mingkai was so frustrated that he gave up and started playing recklessly.

As a result, Mingkai started messing around, and the effect actually improved a lot.

This is why Zhou Hanyang searched for the entire Instagram group.

The reason EDG picked Lucian three times in the group stage in the previous game was because they were practicing against the fully-formed IG team every day.

The strength of a fully-formed IG needs no further explanation!

S7's JackeyLove had an even faster reaction time. He's the kind of ADC who will relentlessly attack even when he has no advantage, not to mention with the protection of Ardent Censer, he doesn't even treat the opponent like a human.

TheShy's hand is not broken yet.

His support stats haven't declined yet, and soft supports are actually more suitable for Baolan.

The midfield strength is absolutely top-tier.

Facing a fully-formed IG, EDG's top laner, A Guang, is up against TheShy, and their mid laner simply can't win the game if he doesn't pick Lucian to gain an advantage.

That's why the script for Lu San's kneeling came about.

Of course, this was the situation in the previous life.

When EDG plays scrims now, they don't immediately use the Ardent Censer meta.

The two sides played a full five days of practice matches before stopping.

Why not fight?

Because August 28th is the day EDG will face a challenger.

Their challenger is IG!

Both sides need to find other teams to test their 'trump cards' in preparation for the match on August 28th!

On August 28th, EDG finally ushered in their first playoff match.

The match was scheduled to start at 4 p.m., so after EDG got up and had lunch, they went straight to the venue.

This playoff game was something countless people had been looking forward to, so when EDG arrived at the venue, there were already countless fans waiting for them.

Amid cheers from the fans, the EDG team entered the conference room of the competition venue.

Similarly, the IG players arrived at the competition venue at almost the same time.

At 4 p.m., the narrator also appeared on the big screen.

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Guan Zeyuan!" Guan Zeyuan waved to greet everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Wang Duoduo." Wang Duoduo's voice rang out.

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator GuGu," GuGu said with a smile.

"Alright, after several days of intense competition, the playoffs have finally entered their most intense phase," Wang Duoduo said.

"IG fought their way up from the bottom lane, and their performance was incredibly hot. EDG, on the other hand, had plenty of rest and were ready to fight. Both sides have their own advantages."

"Before the match started, there was a rumor..." Guan Zeyuan chuckled and said, "It is said that EDG has been playing scrims with IG these past few days, and the two teams have been playing back and forth."

"Huh? IG is in such good form?" GuGu was clearly a little surprised.

"However, it's said that AD is JackeyLove, and that these five people can create a chemical reaction." Guan Zeyuan explained, "Of course, this is just a rumor, so just take it with a grain of salt."

"Wow! Now that you mention it, I really want JackeyLove to come up and play. It might even be a fierce battle." Wang Duoduo chuckled and changed the subject: "Unfortunately, the starting top and jungle today are Duke and KidKid!"

"That's really a pity..."

Amidst the nonsensical ramblings of the commentators, both teams finally took to the stage.

Meanwhile, the classic trash talk segment also appeared on the big screen.

Mingkai was the first to be affected; his very first words left countless people speechless.

"Playing against IG? Just gank top at level 2 and you're good to go!"

For IG, it's naturally Ning.

"I think the outcome of our match against EDG is entirely in my hands. As long as I do more and better, we have a great chance of beating EDG."

Next up is Meiko.

"Playing against IG? The jungler ganks top at level 2, then I roam to top lane, and we're guaranteed to win!"

Baolan followed up: "EDG is really good at team fights, but I think we're just as strong in team fights."

Scout's words were quite straightforward: "I will prove who is the best mid laner in the LPL."

"If we take the initiative, taking down IG shouldn't be a problem at all," Rookie said with a smile, not being so confrontational.

"TheShy, of all the top laners I've faced, I would call you the strongest! In terms of offense, no one can surpass you!" As soon as Zhou Hanyang said this, all the viewers went wild!
