August 25, BJ Wukesong Stadium.

The playoff semi-finals were held as scheduled, and the first game was EDG vs. OMG.

The competition started at two o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone had lunch at the hotel and then took a pre-arranged bus to the competition venue.

At the request of manager Abramovich, Chen Mo also came to the capital with the team. He could not play. Abramovich wanted him to experience the atmosphere of the EDG game in advance.

"In today's game, against a team like OMG, 3:0 should be no problem."

On the bus, Chen Mo started to fight.

"You're talking about the hammer!"

Meiko immediately scolded: "Who doesn't know how to have fun with words? You weren't the one who played the game together, right?"

They defeated OMG in the previous training match with a crushing force. This does not mean that OMG is a weak team. If they can reach the semi-finals, no team is weak.

After the training match that day, OMG will definitely make corresponding adjustments after learning about the problems in its team.

Chen Mo smiled and continued to cheer: "In the end, it's still a dish. If I play, it will definitely be 3:0."

It's impossible to play anyway, and it doesn't matter how loud he is. If he had the chance to play, he would never say that.

"There should be no problem in winning OMG and advancing to the finals. The key now is the opponents in the finals. WE and RNG are both difficult to deal with."

The factory director also participated in the discussion.

"Are you starting to study your opponents in the finals?"

Chen Mo teased.

Factory Director:……

Talking and laughing.

Everyone came to the competition venue.

The official schedule is very tight. The two Bo5 semi-finals will be played today. Four teams, Yusanjia and the dark force OMG, will gather at Wukesong Stadium.

Players and coaches from several teams arrived at the competition site almost at the same time. In the passage to the backstage lounge, everyone began to communicate "friendly".

"Old thief, play the game well and smash EDG to pieces!"

The spicy hot pot takes the lead in setting the fire.

EDG faces OMG. You don't have to think about it to know that EDG will win with a high probability. However, everyone in RNG really doesn't want to face EDG in the finals. Bloodline suppression is not just talk.

The factory director responded quickly: "Kangdi, catch me. It's very easy to beat RNG. Just catch him at the second level and you'll be done!"

Hearing this, Uzi was a little confused.

Why should the ADC pay for jungle behavior?

"Grab EDG on the road, their jungler won't be able to catch it, and then ban the big tree, their top laner will only know the big tree."

…

The official pre-game chatter was just for fun, the real talk had to be seen in private.

It wasn't until the staff came over to remind them that everyone returned to the lounge.

When entering the lounge, coach Nofe suddenly became serious. He opened his commonly used notebook and began to deploy tactics for the next game.

"In the first game, let's go iboy. We should still use the incense burner system. After the previous training match, the opponent may make tactical adjustments. Don't take it lightly during the game..."

Nofe acted very impartially and did not favor the zet players he brought to EDG. In previous official games and training matches, iboy's performance was indeed better.

After hearing the coach's words, iboy clenched his fist slightly.

He is also a newcomer to the LPL and is full of expectations for the professional arena.

The treatment Chen Mo received at EDG made him very envious. Players who had just entered the professional arena were eager to gain the attention of management.

He is envious, but definitely not jealous.

iboy knew in his heart that when he was loaned to DAN, Chen Mo was just an outcast of the club, but he fought back with his own strength.

Take the sword of glory!

"Since Chen Mo can fight back to EDG from DAN, I, Hu Xianzhao, can also fight back from EDG."

iboy secretly swore in his heart.

The game started soon. Teammates and coaches walked out of the lounge, and Chen Mo took out the melon seeds and Coke he had prepared in advance from his backpack.

First game.

Nofe's BP is very conservative.

And OMG is also very targeted.

They did not target support, but restricted EDG's incense burner system by blocking ADC. As a newcomer, iboy's hero pool is not very deep.

Cannon, skateboard shoes, mouse.

When the first three bans came out, the audience was in an uproar.

In the first round, all the ban positions were given to the bottom lane, and Respect was directly filled up. OMG was not afraid of iboy, but was afraid of EDG's incense burner system.

Hero selection begins, and OMG on the blue side takes the lead in locking Big Mouth.

EDG took the lead in banning Luo, leaving Xia with no choice. They didn't have many choices in the bottom lane.

Coach Nofe suddenly became hesitant.

The first three moves must win the lane combination. He has no doubt that the opponent will definitely continue to target the bottom lane in the second round of BP.

Coach Nofe didn’t decide on the bottom lane combination until the selection time was almost over:

Varus and the bull's head.

Chen Mo in the lounge was a little surprised. EDG didn't choose the incense burner system in this game.

But just when Chen Mo was full of expectations, the hero EDG chose later quickly disappointed him.

Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, we still have to choose the pig girl tree.

Finally, in the mid lane position, Syndra is good at supplementing AP damage.

Although they did not use the incense burner system, EDG's lineup selection was still very traditional.

OMG this way.

The bottom laner chose the combination of Big Mouth and Kalma, the mid laner icon took out Lucian, and the top laner chose Big Insect and Wine Barrel respectively.

The BP is over and Nofe returns to the lounge.

Chen Mo saw Ge You lying on the sofa and immediately asked: "Do you think we can win this game?"

Chen Mo nodded quickly: "Although I didn't win the incense burner system, the players' hard power is there, so there should be no problem in winning it."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, EDG is not very good at using the incense burner system in this game. The ADC only has Varus, but it is not easy to choose the support that can be matched with Varus.

The game starts soon.

The game was a bit boring in the early stages of the game, with both sides of the line finishing their kills peacefully. Although the jungler would go to the line to gank after clearing his own jungle area, he did not find any opportunities, and his online play was very stable.

Fortunately, the commentators for this game were the "Haier Brothers", and with their witty commentary, the audience was not so bored.

It wasn't until 9 minutes into the game that the two teams clashed over the competition for the dragon.

Chen Mo thought to himself, if the first dragon was not of the fire attribute, would the two sides continue to be like this "Shakespeare".

The final winner of the team battle was EDG.

OMG's most critical auxiliary, the incense burner, has not yet been synthesized. In comparison, the bull head with its ultimate move can play a greater role in team battles.

The factory director's pig girl took the lead in starting the group, blocking the opponent's field of vision to release her ultimate move. [Icy Prison] accurately hit the auxiliary Karma in the crowd.

The rest of EDG kept up with the damage and quickly killed Kalma instantly.

However, the losses on OMG's side were not very big. Apart from losing the dragon, they only gave away Karma's head. The rest of OMG reacted very quickly. After the support was instantly killed, the others quickly moved back and distanced themselves.

Although OMG stopped its losses in time, after this wave, the initiative was in the hands of EDG.

The real showdown takes place at 14 minutes, the battle for Canyon Pioneer.

At this time, OMG's Karma has synthesized the incense burner. This hero RE can provide a group shield. After the incense burner is synthesized, the combat effectiveness of OMG's side is greatly improved.

This is why OMG is clearly at a disadvantage, but still chooses to fight for the vanguard.

After returning to the city to replenish their status, both sides made the same decision. The bottom lane combination moved towards Dalongkeng, while the top laner went to the bottom lane to replenish the lane.

Originally, both teams wanted to take advantage of the short-term numerical advantage of the lane change to directly rush down the vanguard. However, when they saw the opponent's bot lane combination appearing in the field of vision, everyone immediately realized that opportunism would not work. If they wanted to take the vanguard, they would have to fight.

Let’s talk about it later.

While pulling, icon directly controlled Lucian to release his ultimate move, hoping to use [Baptism of the Holy Spear] to take the lead in consuming blood.

Silver-white bullets poured on Syndra, and the junior hurriedly retreated. At this moment, Lucian actually released the E skill to move forward. Icon wanted to consume Syndra's health as much as possible.

"good chance!"

Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

If it were him to control Pig Girl, he would definitely choose to start a group at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea came up, Zhumei released her Q skill, and then...

flash!

In order to ensure that his first move would not be evaded by Lucian, the factory director did not use the ultimate move to start, but directly Q-dodge.

Lucian was instantly knocked away.

Meiko reacted quickly next to him and released WQ twice. As soon as Lucian landed, he was quickly knocked away by the bull head again.

"Lucian has been shot... Lucian has been shot!"

The voice of the commentator suddenly amplified.

Even though OMG's Karma released his skills in time to put a shield on Lucian, and the big mouth next to him also released treatment, Lucian was still not saved in the end.

As Syndra's ultimate move [Energy Pour] was launched, the icon's screen suddenly turned dark.

The mid laner was defeated, and OMG immediately sounded a retreat signal.

But at this moment, Pig Girl unleashed her ultimate move.

Zach was left behind.

OMG was beaten 0 for 2 by EDG, and Pioneer was naturally obtained by EDG.

"Take it!"

Seeing the situation on the field, Chen Mo said confidently.

Regardless of the economic gap between the two sides, this wave directly releases the vanguard in the middle, which can easily destroy the opposing middle defense tower. Next, as long as the vision is suppressed and the pig girl invades the wild area, the snowball can easily roll up.

Not only that, with the lack of vision, OMG cannot grab subsequent map resources at all. EDG can take down the Baron as long as they find opportunities with a little operation.

When the Pioneer won, Chen Mo had already rehearsed in his mind how to play the next game, and quickly came to a conclusion——

In up to 35 minutes, EDG can destroy the opponent's crystal.

But as the game progressed, Chen Mo discovered that he was really thinking a little too much.

After taking down the vanguard, the director did release directly in the middle and successfully took down the opposite middle defense tower. However, after demolishing the tower, EDG still played very steadily.

After gaining the advantage, the factory director's Pig Girl did not think about invading the opposite wild area to expand the advantage, but still kept the double C to develop.

Just like this, EDG was obviously the dominant side, but they were developing peacefully with OMG there, which made Chen Mo's face filled with questions.

If this is the case, then what is the purpose of looking for opportunities in the early stage to gain an advantage?

He turned to look at the coach, but Nofe didn't show any unusual expression on his face, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this style of play.

As the competition continues, the economic gap between the two sides gradually widens.

In Nofe's eyes, the players on the field played steadily and gradually expanded their advantage. However, in Chen Mo's view, the EDG team insisted on delaying the game in the later stages of the game when it was clear that it could end early.

Although EDG still relied on its own economic advantage to win the game and win the game, the game time had already reached 43 minutes.

In Chen Mo's view, with OMG's start, as long as they pressed forward step by step, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight in the final Baron team battle.

But the actual result is that not only did they have a chance to fight in the final team battle, but they even almost won the final team battle. If Syndra hadn't killed Big Mouth in time in EDG's final team battle, they might have been defeated.

OMG comeback.

Bang bang——

Seeing the crystal explode on the opposite side, Coach Nofe clapped his hands happily.

Seeing this, Chen Mo also clapped his hands, but there was no smile on his face.

He clearly saw the problems exposed by EDG——

I like to delay the game to a later stage.

Disadvantage in the early stage, but support in the later stage.

Advantage in the early stage, or delay in the later stage!

This method may be able to win against LPL teams. After all, EDG's teamfighting capabilities are among the best in LPL.

But when facing an LCK team, doing this can easily lead to a comeback.

Korean teams are very good at operations, and Chen Mo knows this very well. Many times it seems that you have won the kill, but under the operation of some LCK teams, not only can the economy not be able to distance itself, but it will be overtaken.

Facing such a team that is good at operations, there are only two methods:

Either you are better at operations than him, or you can take advantage of the victory and pursue it when you have an advantage to expand your own advantage, and quickly seize the opportunity to win when you see it, without giving the opponent a chance to operate at all.

Now EDG needs to be more aggressive!

As the OMG crystal was destroyed, EDG players walked off the stage amidst the applause of the audience and entered the lounge.

"Successfully won, what do you think of this game?"

Entering the lounge, the factory manager proudly showed off to Chen Mo.

He thinks that his pig girl played very well in this game, her timing was perfect, and she was not ambiguous when it came time to protect her teammates.

Seeing his arrogant expression, Chen Mo curled his lips and said with disdain: "Look at what you can do. This game is like my grandma's foot wrap. It's smelly and long. The contract you signed with the club won't do it."

The money is calculated based on the game time. I think the audience is almost asleep. This is a game, not sex. It’s useless if it takes too long..."

That's right, Chen Mo is using the provoking method.

This may not necessarily be useful, but as long as players like EDG are a little more aggressive during the game, even just a little bit, what he said will be valuable.

"You are being harsh, you are being harsh!"

The factory director didn't seem to take Chen Mo's words to heart, but he was silently reflecting on his last game.

"Is the pace of this game really dragging a bit?"

"It does seem a little bit. In the end, I was almost overturned by the opponent."

"See how proud this kid is, why don't I play a little more aggressively in the next game?"

"The next game will be over in 30 minutes. Let's see what you bastard says then."

…
Chapter completed!
