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

Amidst cheers and laughter, EDG decisively crushed C9!

C9's late-game lineup was terrible in the early game, with all three lanes collapsing and their jungler faring much worse. They simply couldn't win in the late game.

EDG destroyed C9's base crystal in 28 minutes, ending the game completely.

Amid the commentators' congratulations and the audience's cheers, EDG went to C9's players' bench to shake hands with them before returning to the backstage lounge.

The crowd was greeted with cheers!

However, everyone's joy didn't last long, because after playing C9, EDG had to immediately face AHQ!

Scout went to the post-match interview alone, while the others stayed behind to discuss the draft and tactical system for the next game.

While AHQ may not be considered strong, the problem is that EDG needs to fight for the top spot in the next round, so every point is crucial for them.

At 2 PM sharp, EDG and AHQ started their battle!

AHQ knew they had no hope of advancing, so they surprisingly pulled out Jayce on the fifth floor of the blue team.

Of course, AHQ banned Lucian.

Faced with AHQ's top laner's provocation, Zhou Hanyang naturally responded head-on, picking Renekton for top lane, and with Mingkai's Elise for jungle, Jayce's death count kept pace with the game time.

After the top lane exploded, a prehistoric crocodile continued to wreak havoc in the Rift.

AHQ simply couldn't withstand EDG's frontal offensive, and EDG ended the game in 26 minutes.

After EDG defeated AHQ, it was time for SKT and C9 to battle it out.

C9 finally got the Ezreal jungler they'd been longing for!

Having learned from the experience of the match against EDG, the mid and top laners opted for a lineup with strong lane dominance.

However, just as C9 was preparing to build Jayce in the top lane, SKT snatched Jayce and gave it to Huni.

C9 had no choice but to build Maokai in the top lane to act as their frontline tank!

Faker ultimately chose Fizz as his mid-lane champion in the fifth-floor counter pick to face off against Westdoor.

There's not much to say about this match!

C9 took an hour-long break during the halftime break, but they still hadn't recovered from being completely overwhelmed by SKT.

SKT secured the victory in just 32 minutes. Huni's Jayce was outstanding throughout the game. Although he didn't get any kills during the laning phase, he managed to poke and secure a total of 7 kills after the laning phase ended, thanks to his teammates' help.

After this match, C9 will continue to face AHQ!

C9, who had been repeatedly overwhelmed, couldn't even beat AHQ this time and lost the match again.

Watching C9's various outrageous and ridiculous plays on the screen, Zhou Hanyang slowly shook his head.

Even professional players can pull off all sorts of outrageous and incredible plays when they're completely overwhelmed.

At 5 p.m., EDG finally faced off against SKT.

"Welcome back, everyone!" Remember's voice rang out again.

"EDG vs. SKT! If EDG wins this game, they'll advance as the top team in their group, which will be their final match," Guan Zeyuan said with a smile. "If SKT wins, then there will be overtime!"

"EDG is on the red side this game, and SKT is on the blue side!" Miller said with some anticipation. "Let's take a look at the draft picks for both sides!"

……

After a lot of rambling from the commentators, the BP screen finally appeared on the big screen.

SKT banned Caitlyn, Jarvan IV, and Galio right from the start.

There's not much to say about Caitlyn; EDG's Caitlyn fast-push strategy is something SKT simply can't handle.

Prince and Galio are both heroes that can be used flexibly.

When EDG is on the red side, their biggest advantage in the draft phase is their flexibility.

We must prevent EDG from making any changes to their strategy as much as possible in order to minimize their advantage on the red side.

EDG banned Xayah, Kog'Maw, and Kalista.

Weaken SKT's laning ability as much as possible!

SKT, on the blue side, picked Sejuani on the first floor, securing the jungler role first.

EDG opted for Lulu as support to improve their laning ability, while also picking Gragas, one of the three god-tier junglers of the current patch.

Lulu was picked, so SKT's only viable support options are Janna and Rakan.

Koro is too weak in lane, so SKT chose Janna and Twitch!

They had to pick Twitch, otherwise if they gave Twitch to EDG, EDG might come up with some kind of trick to outmaneuver them. EDG immediately picked Tristana on the third floor!

Both sides begin the second round of banning!

EDG, on the red side, chose to ban Syndra and LeBlanc.

SKT banned Cassiopeia and Lucian.

After the second round of bans by both sides, EDG, on the red side, picked a hero that surprised everyone on the fourth floor—Varus!!!

"Huh??? EDG picked Varus on the fourth floor?" Remember's voice was full of surprise: "So that means... Tristana is going mid?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Guan Zeyuan shook his head and said, "EDG's Varus might be unpredictable."

“Indeed! EDG does have a possibility of wavering, but what about SKT?” Miller nodded vigorously.

Upon seeing the lineup selected by EDG, the entire SKT player bench fell silent.

Kkoma originally planned to give Huni a front-line champion for the top lane, but now that EDG has picked Varus, how can they get a front-line champion?

"How about Jayce this game?" Kkoma looked at Huni: "We can't pick a tank anymore, Varus might be a viable option for top lane."

"???" Huni couldn't help but wonder if he had misheard.

What the hell?

Is Varus swinging his way onto the road?

Is this a business plan that a human could create?

However, upon thinking of the other person's ID, Huni fell silent.

If he picks up a tank at this moment, and Varus actually flexes to come to the top lane, his head will be completely smashed!

“Okay!” Huni thought for a moment and said, “Then let’s pick Jayce, I can play him myself this game!”

That's the good thing about Jayce; no matter what the opponent does, it's hard for him to be pushed back into lane.

Picking Jayce might cause a collapse, but it won't collapse to the point where you can't even farm the lane, since Jayce is a ranged champion after all.

Such situations of dominating two towers in casual games are relatively rare in competitive matches.

SKT ultimately decided to let Jayce in the top lane feed, while their two carries in the bottom lane would ultimately save the game.

So, on the fifth floor, I chose Orianna mid!

Orianna can be considered one of Faker's last resorts.

Moreover, Orianna has an absolute advantage against Tristana in the early game, and she won't be too disadvantaged against Varus either.

EDG didn't hesitate either, immediately locking in Ivern as their jungler on the fifth floor!
