There is a total of one stone in the LPL mid lane, and I exclusively own twelve stones.

S3 global finals group stage.

Group A:

SKT T1, win/loss: 7/1, ranked first, qualified.

GMB, win/loss: 6/2, ranked second, qualified.

Group B:

RYL (Royal Family), win/loss: 8/0, ranked first, qualified.

FNC, win/loss: 6/2, ranked second, qualified.

The group stage consists of 8 games over 4 days to determine 4 qualifying teams.

The Royal Team, officially ranked seventh by Riot Games, entered the top 8 with a complete victory and became the biggest dark horse in this S3 global finals.

The SSO team, which has high hopes from the Korean audience, is not even qualified to qualify.

The SSO team's hip-stretching performance was completely unexpected by the Korean audience.

In Riot's official rankings, Faker beats SSO mid laner dade and ranks above dade.

However, in OGN and within Korea, both fans and commentators unanimously believe that dade is the number one mid laner in the world!

Faker in the double calamity battle?

Put me in line behind dade!

Dade, who was favored by the Korean audience, performed very poorly in this World Championship, and SSO was eliminated in the group stage.

The angry fans of the Korean Ming Kingdom immediately targeted dade, and the Korean commentator even arranged an award for dade!

The dade award that was so loud before the game, but was extremely flattering during the game!

As the titleholder of the dade award, dade won the first dade award!

In the previous life, in addition to dade, those who have won the dade award include Nami from S4, Godv from S5, and Mingkai from S6.

Fans of the Korean Ming Kingdom scolded dade angrily. They wished that all members of the SSO team would crash on the plane.

At the end of the S3 group stage, all teams had two days of rest. During these two days, the media rearranged the chances of the favorite teams to win the S competition.

First of all, the EDG team officially recognized by Riot Games is still ranked first, not the Royal Family who performed at a crushing level in the group stage.

The dominance of the Royal Family in the group stage is obvious to all, especially the Royal Family player Uzi. His VN shocked the world. It was the first time for many foreign audiences to know that VN can still be played like this!

However, such a terrifying royal family was unexpectedly killed by EDG 3-0 in the S3 global finals selection.

Based on EDG's terrifying record, foreign media ranked EDG first!

The EDG team ranks first in the championship winning rate list, with a 33% chance of winning.

Ranked second on the championship list is the Royal Family team, and ranked third is the SKT T1 team.

SKT T1's mid laner Faker showed strong dominance in the mid lane. Their team has a 29% probability of winning the championship.

After the winning list was announced, audiences at home and abroad expressed their opinions one after another.

"Damn, idiot Riot looked down on me in the LPL. When we didn't play in the group stage, we ranked the Royal Family seventh. Damn, the Royal Family are so tough. After killing them, they obediently ranked the Royal Family second."

"EDG is still a cowhide, locked in the first place, invincible existence!"

"The strength of SKT T1 cannot be underestimated. When the Royal Family encounters SKT T1, they cannot take it lightly!"

"Axi, why are the top two teams in the LPL, and the LPL is a garbage division, but we were randomly killed by us in the All-Stars!"

"Xiba~~, these media don't understand at all, NJB team is the strongest team!"

"The West Eight Media, are they trying to kneel to China? What does China have to kneel to? Isn't our Republic of China better than a developing China?

What does China have to kneel down? Our country of Korea has a history of 5,000 years. We have four great inventions, we have Chinese characters, and we have various traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival. Does the West Eight China have it? "

"Come on SKT T1, come on NJB, let me kill China!"

"OH, God, the first and second place is the LPL team, the third and fourth place is the Ogn team, how come we, C9, are not favored?"

"FNC is the strongest!"

The Korean audience is incompetent and furious. They now place their hopes on SKT T1 and NJB, hoping that these two teams will kill EDG and Royal Family to maintain their poor self-esteem!

"Please, please, don't draw EDG, don't draw EDG!"

"Brothers, I would trade my head coach to be single for ten years in exchange for our royal family not being able to draw EDG before the finals."

Large conference room.

Chris looked at Uzi who was praying with murderous eyes. If this little fat guy can speak, why don't you stay single for ten years?

wipe!

The members of the royal family looked at the lottery on the big screen with worried faces, while the EDG team members looked indifferent.

The EDG team is determined to win the championship, and it doesn't matter who the opponent is.

On the big screen, the draw for the top 8 battles began.

In the top 8 battles in the S3 season, there is no principle of avoiding battles in the same division. The top 8 teams are drawn randomly. The two teams that are drawn will play against those two teams.

The first team to be drawn was the NJB team. After the drawing staff showed it to everyone, they started to draw the second one.

The second team drawn is the GAB team, and the third team drawn is EDG.

After seeing that the third team was EDG, the Royal players couldn't help but become nervous.

The EDG team is in Group A. If the Royal Family draws Team B, it is possible to play EDG in advance.

What makes the Royal team members desperate is that the fourth team is not them, but FNC!

The drawing of Group A teams is over, they are EDG, NJB, GAB and FNC!

"Church!"

"Why doesn't it work? Chris, could it be that you won't be able to find a girlfriend in the next ten years? That's why it doesn't work?"

Uzi was once again targeted by Chris' murderous gaze, and now Chris wanted to tie Uzi's mouth with a rope.

On the big screen, the extraction continues.

In the current draw, the opponents of the teams in Group A, the first team in Group B is GMB, and the second team is RYL!

Seeing the three letters RYL, the royal team burst into cheers.

"NICE!!!"

"Almost, just almost, my little heart!"

"Damn it, no need to hit EDG, feel good, brothers!"

"Chris, thank you!"

Uzi thanked Chris, but Chris kicked him away.

Uzi, who was avoiding Chris, smiled: "Thank you, Chris. I hope I can't draw EDG next time. I'll be single for ten years. You can do it!"

Amid the laughter of the Royal players, the top eight teams were determined.

Group A: NJB vs. GMB, GAB vs. Royal Family, EDG vs. C9, FNC vs. SKT T1.

For such a game, not only the Royal Family players are satisfied, but the domestic audience is also particularly satisfied.

"This grouping is really good. I'm worried that the Royal Family and EDG will directly compete in the top 8!"

"The grouping is good, EDG and Royal Family should easily advance to the semi-finals!"

"It's comfortable, it's comfortable. Who smoked this? I love him so much!"

"I can watch EDG's game soon. EDG will give me a blast and let them see why the EDG team is number one in the world!"

"I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. As a dog fan, I am really afraid that the royal family will encounter EDG!"

"Royal Family, EDG, charge for me, kill for the labor and management, the labor and management want to see you meet in the finals!"

Domestic audiences are looking forward to EDG's performance in the World Finals.

The first game of the quarterfinals is NJB versus GMB.

The game is in BO3 mode. As the seed team of OGN, NJB’s strength cannot be underestimated.

In the previous life, NJB almost overturned SKT T1. In the semi-finals between SKT T1 and NJB, NJB defeated SKT T1 twice.

This is the only team to double defeat SKT T1 in the S3 finals.

Unlike the extremely stretched SSO team, the NJB team easily defeated the GMB team in two consecutive games and became the first team to advance to the top four.

"This NJB team is very strong!"

The EDG team, which watched the whole game, commented on NJB. If EDG defeated the GAB team, then one of their opponents in the next round would be the NJB team.

"Their bottom lane is very strong, but I feel that our bottom lane is stronger than them!"

Hirano Aya is very confident in the old thief Sima and feels that they can beat the opponent in the bottom lane.

"No, who am I? The old thief of Steady AD Sima, I will definitely kill them!!"

"What if I get killed by the opponent?"

Hirano Aya asked back, and the old thief Sima smiled disdainfully: "Even Uzi can't kill me, how can they be worthy?"

"Besides, I have two big daddies, do they?"

"Come on, come on, C9, come on!!!"

"C9, the only light in North America, don't be afraid of hardships and defeat EDG. I will love you forever!"

"C9 is first, the goddess of luck will favor you!"

Los Angeles, Staples.

This super large stadium, which can accommodate 20,000 people, is already overcrowded.

In the S3 season, LOL has surpassed Dota, StarCraft, Warcraft and other games to become the world's number one competitive game.

The S3 Finals, as a grand ceremony of LOL, no LOL player who likes to watch the game wants to miss it.

Before the game even started, Staples was making waves one after another, and the atmosphere was comparable to the Lakers reaching the Finals!

C9 is a North American team and the host of the S3 Finals.

The C9 team is a dark horse in the North American division, and it is also the only remaining team in the North American division. After the members of the C9 team appeared on the stage, the cheers at the scene suddenly exploded!

"Hai!!! I love you!"

"Sneaky, come on, you are the most handsome!"

"Balls, blast EDG for me!"

The sound at the scene became louder and louder, and the C9 team members came on stage to the cheers of the audience.

Standing in the passage and looking at the list of C9 team members displayed on the big screen, Lu Yiming was not familiar with it.

The only member of the C9 team that he has an impression of is their ADCSneaky.

We know Sneaky not because of how good he plays.

It’s because Sneaky’s women’s clothing is so beautiful.

Women's ADC, Sneaky!

After the wave dissipated, the spotlight shone in front of the EDG channel. Lu Yiming walked outside with a calm expression, not affected by the atmosphere at all.

"Brother Kai, Brother Kai!"

Ming Kai, who was queuing behind Lu Yiming, had his sleeve pulled. Ming Kai turned around and looked at the old thief Sima in confusion, not knowing why.

"Fuck, Brother Kai, I'm so nervous!"

The old thief Sima who usually talked a lot was nervous at the moment. A smile appeared on Ming Kai's face. He patted the old thief Sima on the shoulder:

"Breathe deeply. When you walk out, you don't have to look at the audience, just look at the ground."

"It's the first time you participate in a major competition. You will be nervous. I was also nervous when I participated in IPL5. I was afraid that my hands would be shaking and I would not be able to play well."

Ming Kai was about to continue comforting the old thief Sima, but Loong reminded Ming Kai: "Brother Kai, stop talking, it's your turn!"

Mingkai could only give Sima the old thief an encouraging look. He strode out of the aisle and enjoyed the spotlight!

Today, the world focuses on me!

"I'm still a little nervous, it feels like a dream."

"No, I never dreamed of going to the World Championships!"

"This is the World Championship, and the top LOL players in the world are here!"

The old thief Sima said to himself, Loong patted the old thief Sima on the shoulder, then put his hands together and made a thousand-year-old killing gesture.

Loong, who had always been steady, killed the old thief Sima lightly, and the old thief immediately shut his mouth.

"grass"

"It's your turn!"

Zhu Xiaolong pushed the old thief Sima, and the tension he felt just now disappeared immediately after he killed the old thief Sima like this.

"EDG, come on, EDG, come on!"

"EDG, smash them to pieces!!"

"EDG, massacre them, come to me!"

EDG, wearing black and red team uniforms, stood on the stage. The Chinese people who came to watch the game immediately cheered for EDG. But not too far away from the stage, wearing a long white floral skirt, her face With the EDG benchmark on her face and a glow stick in her hand, Bai Yejin cheered for Lu Yiming with her loudest voice:

"Come on Godfather, you are number one in the world, and you will always be number one in the world!"

"Godfather, come on, go, go, go!"

As if hearing his own shout, Bai Yejin saw Lu Yiming standing on the stage smiling in his direction.

"Come on ahhhhhhhhh!"

Bai Yejin screamed excitedly. She is now Lu Yiming's brain-dead fan, the ultimate brain-dead fangirl.

When Father Lu and Mother Lu saw this scene, their faces were also full of smiles.

After the C9 and EDG team members took the stage, the host on the scene began to introduce the team members in English, and at the same time, the C9 and EDG expedition short films began to be played on the big screen.

As the parties involved, Lu Yiming and others came to the EDG competition seat at the invitation of the staff.

The S3 finals finally looked like a regular competition. The two teams competed in two rooms respectively, which basically eliminated the behavior of peeking at the screen and reporting fans' points.

After debugging the keyboard and mouse, the match between EDG team and C9 team officially started.

"Okay, both sides have entered the BP interface. Our long-awaited top 8 match has officially begun."

"This is the first time the EDG team has appeared in the World Championship. In the official rankings of Riot Games, the EDG team has reached the first place, and in the championship rankings given by the media, EDG still ranks first!"

"The whole world recognizes EDG's strength. I think this is our LPL's honor."

"Then let's see if the EDG team can be the best in the world in today's first game!!"

In the excited mood of the LPL commentator, the EDG team and the C9 team started drafting.

For the C9 team, EDG still gives a little respect.

The mid laner of C9 is Hai, nicknamed Brother Hai, a Chinese player. He scored 2,500 points on the North American server in the S2 season.

Hai is the No. 1 mid laner in North America, with a hand of cards, Jace and Kennen play superbly, and is the backbone of the C9 team.

The EDG team banned Hai's Jayce, as well as Shen and Wei.

C9 team has banned Clockwork, Fox and Blind Sin.

"The C9 team still respects the Godfather very much and banned two mid lane heroes!"

"Why not three? Did you forget about the blind monk in The Godfather?"

The two commentators joked that Lu Yiming's blind monk in the mid lane is at the level of Daluo Jinxian. How many LOL players have never learned how to operate Lu Yiming's blind monk!

After BP ended, the C9 team on the blue side directly locked the strongest hero in the current version, Zed, while EDG locked down Crocodile and Enchantress.

"Enchantress??"

"It's quite tricky, but it doesn't matter. Countless beauties have died in my hands."

"Godfather, right? I'll let you know what the real world's number one mid laner is."

For Lu Yiming, C9 mid laner Hai is very unconvinced. He has been an e-sports genius since he was a child. He is good at CS and Warcraft.

After moving to LOL, he easily climbed to the top of the North American server and became the veteran of C9's team building.

C9 once again took down the Titans, Zach and the two heroes, EDG took out the Bull Head and EZ, and then C9 locked down the Aircraft and Sword Demon.

Seeing C9 take out Zac, Sword Demon's resurrection-flowing jungle combination, EDG's Mingkai couldn't help but smile:

"C9 is not bad. It is worthy of being the dark horse of North America. We also know that Zach Sword Demon has been resurrected and played in the jungle."

"I'll use Spider. I'll let C9 know which one is better, Zac Sword Demon, the resurrection-style top jungle jumper, or the spider-crocodile zoo combination that's better at tower jump!"

Since Sword Demon landed in LOL, the top and jungle combination of Zach Sword Demon has been developed by many teams. These two heroes have been resurrected in the early stage and are much better than other heroes in jumping towers.

But EDG was completely uninterested in the combination of Zach Sword Demon. After countless experiments, EDG came to a conclusion.

The top and jungle combination of Crocodile + Spider is stronger than the top and jungle combination of Zach Sword Demon in terms of early combat effectiveness and tower jumping ability.

Mingkai took out a spider jungler, and the lineups of both sides were quickly determined.

Blue side C9, top laner Zach, jungler Sword Demon, mid laner Zed, bottom lane plane + Titan.

The red side EDG, top laner Crocodile, jungle spider, mid laner Enchantress, bottom lane EZ + Bull Head.

From the perspective of the lineup, EDG's lineup is more towards the early and mid-term.

The C9 lineup is more late-stage.

Regular AP runes, flash and ignite.

Lu Yiming didn't play any tricks on rune talents. For the C9 team, Lu Yiming didn't need to play any tactical tricks at all.

It’s OK to crush it with strength!

Entering the game, EDG chose the Yizi Xingluo position to avoid playing a level 1 team with C9.

C9 has Titan Hook, Zach's E skill and passive resurrection, and Sword Demon's Q skill and passive resurrection. It's a disadvantage to fight with C9 in a level 1 group.

But contrary to EDG, C9 chose to invade as a group. EDG looked back and retreated. Mingkai was forced by C9 to leave the lower half and go to the upper half.

"The C9 team chose to invade, and Mingkai was forced to change to the jungle. The EDG team had a bad start!"

Seeing that the EDG team was forced to change jungle by the C9 team at the beginning, impatient domestic viewers jumped out one after another.

"Damn it, what's going on with the EDG team? How come they were moved to the jungle at the start?"

"Hiss, isn't the godfather known as Zhuge Yiming? He has a lot of tactics at home. How come he has no tactics at the World Championships?"

"What is EDG doing? What about Lu Yiming's tactics? What happened to master tactician Lu Yiming today?"

"Fuck, Lu Yiming's tactical design was so good in domestic games. Why did his tactics disappear when he went abroad? Mingkai was forced to change to the jungle, thank you!"

The impatient audience kept shouting, but less than a minute later, all their mouths were shut.

Because Lu Yiming let them know what it means to be the world's number one mid laner! ! !
