Chapter 656

Liang Yan said EDG's win rate is under fifty percent; actually that's a polite statement.

If we are less polite, Liang Yan feels EDG at most has a thirty percent chance to win.

Do you really think AHQ is a pushover anyone can bully, or do you think you can just tinker a bit and pull out a new lineup—actually it's something VG has already played—and that's the correct understanding of the version, able to crush the opponent leaving no armor?

In Liang Yan's view, EDG is now a bit at a loss.

With EDG's strength, obviously if they just steadfastly pick a solid lineup they excel at, they could relatively steadily defeat AHQ, but instead they chose a lineup that abandons their strongest point and uses their weakness to directly clash with the opponent.

Is this Nofe's idea?

Liang Yan feels that the Nofe who led ROX last year shouldn't be this bad; it's likely A Bu imitating some ancient figure, playing at overstepping command with a flashy move.

It's a pity that few people are as perceptive as Liang Yan, and Liang Yan's chats with those nearby aren't heard by many; everyone is intently staring at the screen, seeming quite confident in EDG.

The commentators also seem to be laughing nonstop.

Okay, thanks to the fans on site for cheering our LPL teams; both sides have now entered Summoner's Rift, with the blue side EDG at the lower left and the Hong Se Fang AHQ at the upper right; let's watch the opening match of this semifinal together!

Yeah, both sides' lineups are fairly novel; it seems they each have their own unique understanding of this version. Speaking of our side's lineup, to be honest, I quite like it—although it's not the type EDG excels at—but since EDG dares to break convention, they must be well prepared; let's just trust them for now.

Teacher Guan Zeyuan still has full confidence in EDG. Speaking of which, this seems to be the first time we've seen the Xayah-Rakan combo officially appear on the stage? AHQ is also quite bold.

No, I've seen the LCK use it several times already.

How is it? The effect?

The effect is pretty good, but that's after all the LCK, a place brimming with talent. I don't know how LMS uses it, but as far as I know, player Xiao An's style is quite versatile, so they probably won't play poorly.

Oh oh… it looks like Zet still can't afford to be careless.

That's right, and the champion Rakan's engage is really strong, especially after level six; you need to be especially careful of his roaming with the jungler.

The battle begins.

AHQ's attack comes faster and more fiercely than anyone imagined.

Wow! The spider got a level-two gank?!

Hey no, the minion wave seems to be pushing into the tower; are they trying to dive it?!

Look at the top lane minimap! The prince seems to be looking for a TP spot!

My goodness, are they really going to dive?!

A red whirlpool appears in the broken wall grass behind EDG's outer tower.

The battle erupts instantly, Guan Zeyuan speeds up his speech:

T'd! The prince directly put the teleport on the spider's placed ward!

EDG realizes something's off! The two start running toward the second tower!

Mountain (AHQ jungler) comes up to block the path!

Meiko brings Zet to force a breakthrough!

A Guang also starts to use T!

Meiko is bound by the cocoon!

Rakan directly flashes in with a grand entrance, lifting Zet into the air even though Zet didn't flash!

Xiao An decisively flashes to adjust position and immediately follows up with damage! Meiko and Zet, just landing, are again hooked by Xayah's reverse hook!

AHQ's coordination this wave is too perfect!

The prince comes down and directly flashes EQ to launch both into the air!

Zet, only level two, hasn't even landed before being instantly killed to scraps!!!

Oh no!! Miller lamented heartbrokenly, 'Zet should have flashed early to dodge Rakan's lift; even if they tried to flash later it'd be too late, they were directly controlled to death!!'

In the LPL backstage lounge, A Bu broke down and shouted:

Why didn't you flash~~~!!!

In the LPL livestream, Guan Zeyuan continues soloing team fights, his mouth like a gatling gun:

Meiko quickly followed in AD's footsteps!

A Guang only just landed now! Yet the duo has already fallen, and A Guang didn't cancel teleport in time, instead putting himself in a helpless isolated situation!!

Wawa wailed shrilly: "Ai Luoli! Ai Luoli come save me!!"

"Ai Luoli is indeed on the way, but he's in the upper half solo lane, the path is long and AHQ's engage came too unexpectedly; Ai Luoli has only just entered the lower half!"

"They can make it! They definitely can! They're waiting for ability cooldowns; without abilities they dare not engage!"

"Yes, AHQ is waiting for a wave of cooldowns; when their second round of cooldowns finishes, Ai Luoli has already arrived nearby and been spotted by AHQ's vision."

"But AHQ still chooses to force a kill!"

"What?!!"

"Rakan lifts again! This lift directly pops A Guang's flash!"

"My goodness, are they still daring to dive?!"

「A Guang couldn't dodge the Prince's EQ! He was flung into the air! However, before being controlled, he started an arson feast aimed at Luo who was tanking the tower, continuously grilling! 」

「Ai Luoli dug a tunnel and came up, wanting to first take Luo's head but actually missed! Luo took the defensive tower's last shot, then a Light Dance Double directly flew toward Xia outside the tower, just dodging Ai Luoli who burst out of the ground!! 」

「Mom! This is too far! Luo this hero is too monstrous! 」

「Ai Luoli also used this skill too casually...... 」

「After Luo left the tower, AHQ's tower-tanking hate handover had a problem; the spider couldn't take the hate, and now it's actually the Prince tanking the tower! But the Prince doesn't care at all that he's been locked on by the defensive tower; his eyes only have the head! He keeps striking with his spear. 」

「Xiao An has also been constantly dealing damage! 」

「A Guang is only level two, A Guang also can't withstand it! 」

「Ai Luoli got carried away! Following Flash, she wanted to kill Luo with a bite but couldn't finish because Xia healed a mouth!! Luo backhandedly gave Ai Luoli a weakness! Ai Luoli unwillingly kept chasing to bite but her movement speed greatly reduced, she can't keep up!! 」【59】 「On this side, the Prince was hit by a spear, likewise his movement speed greatly reduced, he couldn't keep up with the wounded Lanbo, but he still had Flash! ZIV finally chose to exchange Flash for Flash, came up and shot A Guang dead with a gun, then he himself was also killed by the defensive tower!! 」【60】 「The defensive tower's temperature has already risen to the extreme, but there's no one tanking the tower anymore! 」

"The prince here was hit by the fish spear, his movement speed greatly reduced, unable to keep up with the low-health Lamborghini, but he still had Flash! ZIV finally chose to exchange Flash for Flash, came up and fired a shot that smashed A Guang to death, then he himself was killed by the defense tower!!"

"The defense tower's temperature has already risen to the extreme, but there is no one left to tank the tower!"

The spider gains experience from brushing against a minion and dying naturally, plus three kill assists, levels up to three and unlocks Coiling Silk; a Flying Big Hook drops right beside Ai Luoli, lunges and bites!

Ai Luoli sinks back underground, a prey search lands successfully and finally finishes off the wounded Luo, but she herself is also bound by the spider's cocoon that has turned back into human form!

After taking sustained enemy AD damage, Ai Luoli's health is nearly depleted; finally Xia lands a reverse hook and secures the kill!!
