Next up are the matches between SKT and C9, and between IG and AHQ.

SKT and IG continued their winning streak.

IG has won five games in a row, while SKT has won four games in a row.

IG's record is 5-0 and SKT's record is 4-1.

The last game of immortality, IG vs. SKT!

If SKT can beat IG, the two teams will have the same record, with each having wins and losses, and will enter the overtime stage to determine who will be the first in the group.

At this time in the SKT lounge, everyone in SKT was waiting for a message.

News about IG replacement!
Only after hearing the news can they start the discussion, otherwise it would be meaningless.

At this moment, Wolf suddenly said: "Will they suddenly stop substituting players? I saw some people speculating online that IG has been using substitutes because the starting jungler has a problem and can't play now."

Faker was more rational. He said, "We can't pin our hopes of victory on this kind of thing. This is the behavior of the weak."

Just then, a staff member appeared at the door and greeted:

"IG made a substitution, replacing the jungler with the starting jungler Yuanshen."

coming!

The SKT players suddenly became much more sober.

I still had a little bit of hope just now, but now it's all gone.

Kkoma said: "This game is very important to us. If we can win and enter the extra game, we will be first in the group and the quarterfinals will be much easier. If we can't win, we may face Longzhu as the second in the group."

Although the battle of Longzhu has not started yet, any discerning person can see that the other three teams in Longzhu's group cannot even see Longzhu's high ground, let alone win the game.

So Longzhu will definitely be the first in the group, and the team that comes second in the group may meet them.

For SKT, encountering Longzhu is the worst case scenario. Firstly, this is a civil war, which will consume a strong LCK team for no reason. Secondly, Longzhu has always beaten SKT in the summer season, and they know them very well. It is very difficult for SKT to beat Longzhu, and they would rather meet the top teams from other regions.

Kkoma looked at CUZZ and said, "The jungle part should be ready. We need to make sure everything goes well this time."

CUZZ nodded heavily: "No problem, I know what to do."

Kkoma continued: "On the laning side, everyone should perform well, try to cooperate with the jungler, support the jungle, and finally, keep a calm mind and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

In IG's lounge, Yuan Shen was looking at his phone.

There is a strange rhythm appearing on the Internet now.

#YuanShenIf you have the ability, don’t do it. Do I think IG can win?
#Yuan Shen has stood us up so many times, I won’t watch it anymore.

#Yuan Shen is extremely evil. I came here just to see him, but he didn’t go on stage.

#I didn’t watch the first day’s match between IG and SKT, but I watched them all afterwards, and Ning was always the winner.

It seems that the fans have also become emotional and started making various threats.

It is understandable, after all, people's patience has its limits, and this also shows that his fans are very loyal to him.

Of course, these were definitely just angry words. As long as they knew that Yuan Shen was on the court, they would come back to watch the game without hesitation.

Suddenly, Fu Manduo's voice came:
"It's almost time, we should go on stage."

Everyone stood up one after another.

Fumanduo continued: "I hope this is the last group match and we can all show our best. SKT will definitely do their best to fight for the first place in the group. We can't take it lightly."

Everyone nodded.

Ning Wang suddenly said: "Yuan Shen, I am cheering for you from below. I think one third of the credit for the victory over SKT belongs to me."

Yuan Shen smiled: "One third is not enough, at least half."

At the game site, three commentators were ready at the LPL broadcast booth.

Wawa explained: "This is the last match of the group stage today. Of course, there may be an extra match, so this is only the last match in theory."

Miller continued, "That's right. Judging from the previous performances of both teams, IG and SKT are both very good. SKT has won four games in a row, only losing to IG in the opening game, while IG has won five games in a row and has not lost yet."

Rita suddenly said: "I received news from the front, IG has changed players! In the jungle position, Ning Wang was replaced by Yuan Shen!"

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling instantly:
"Here he comes! Yuan Shen is here!"

"Brothers, go get some people to watch the game, Yuan Shen is on the field!"

"If Yuan Shen comes on the field, the game will lose its suspense."

"That's not right. Didn't someone say that Master Yuan's hand was broken and he couldn't play? Is he healed now?"

On the competition field, at the host's call, the players from both sides came on stage!

The director turned the camera to IG and gave Yuan Shen a close-up.

When everyone saw Yuan Shen appear on the stage, the audience went crazy:

"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"

Yuan Shen can feel the fans’ expectations and even desire for him!
Yuan Shen glanced towards SKT and saw a murderous aura!

Everyone in SKT is very serious and confident at the same time. It seems that they have some routines and ideas.

In the commentary booth, Wawa explained: "From the mental outlook of the two teams when they took the field, it seemed that both teams were pretty good and should have been confident. This means that one team must have made a wrong judgment and thought they could win but in fact they couldn't."

Yuan Shen arrived at the position, put on headphones, and everything was ready!
The game enters the BP stage.

In this game, IG is on the blue side and SKT is on the red side.

BAN hero stage:

Blue side IG: Tristana, Xayah, and Varus.

Red side SKT: EZ, Gragas, Rek'Sai

Wawa analyzed: "IG's strategy in this game was very clear. They targeted SKT's bottom lane and banned three ADCs, while SKT targeted the jungle and banned three junglers."

"Ezreal is on the list. In fact, ever since Yuan Shen used Ezreal as a jungler in the opening match, Ezreal's appearance rate in the jungle position has been very high. Of course, it has gradually decreased since then because everyone found that it is not that simple."

Miller continued: "It depends on personal operation. EZ is a hero that requires a lot of operation, so many people tend to have illusions and think that if Yuan Shen can do it, he can do it too, but in fact, he can't."

Entering the hero selection stage, IG on the blue side locked on Shen on the first floor.

The commentator was very surprised that Shen was chosen. Wawa analyzed: "Shen is indeed a popular top laner in this version, but this hero does not match well with Theshy. Theshy is more suitable for warrior heroes, while Shen is more of a tank."

Miller speculated: "Could this be a Shen from another position? Like a support? Or maybe they are trying to steal SKT's heroes. Maybe they have intelligence that SKT has a Shen system?"

As the two were talking, SKT got Kog'Maw and Lulu on the first and second floors.

Rita commented: "SKT seems to attach great importance to the bottom lane in this game. It all depends on how the bottom lane performs. If Kog'Maw develops well, he can create miracles."

IG got the rat and Luo on the second and third floors.

Wawa analyzed: "There's nothing wrong with choosing Rat. He has long range in teamfights and explosive output in teamfights. Luo seems to be for the purpose of enhancing the ability to start a teamfight."

It was SKT's turn again. SKT got Galio on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

SKT also banned Rek'Sai and Zac.

IG banned Maokai and Rumble.

SKT got Gnar on the fourth floor.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Miller analyzed: "Top lane Gnar? It feels like stealing heroes. We all know how strong Theshy's Gnar is. He can suppress the opponent in the top lane and even kill them alone. SKT's ban position needs to be used to restrict the jungler, so they can only restrict the top lane by stealing heroes."

Wawa commented: "Now the key point is, which jungler will Yuan Shen choose? This may determine IG's overall play style and strategy."

IG got Kennen on the fourth floor and locked onto Clockwork on the fifth floor.

After this selection was made, the commentator was completely dumbfounded.

do not understand!

Wawa commented: "What's going on with IG's lineup? I don't quite understand. Who is the jungler? It can't be Kennen as a jungler? Shen as a jungler? Clockwork as a jungler!"

Rita continued, "SKT's jungler hasn't been decided yet, so what are they going to take? Prince, SKT is targeting Prince on the fifth floor."

After both sides have locked on to their ten heroes, all that remains is to adjust the lanes.

As time passed, the lineups of both teams stabilized. As the time entered the final twenty seconds, both teams could change their lineups:
Blue side IG: Top lane Kennen, jungle Shen, mid lane Clockwork, ADC Twitch, support Rakan
SKT on the red side: top laner Gnar, jungler Jarvan, mid laner Galio, ADC Kog'Maw, support Lulu

Wawa commented: "It's really Shen as the jungler. The contrast is too big. In the opening game, Yuan Shen used EZ as the jungler, a complete jungler, very pure. But now, he uses Shen as the jungler, which is also pure, but he is just a pure tool."

Rita agreed, "Yes, it feels like going from one extreme to another. We can look forward to Yuan Shen's performance. He hasn't played for a long time. Maybe he has been practicing. Today is the time to test the results of his practice."

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen chose to go out and began to set the pace: "The opponent's lineup needs to protect the bottom lane. They mainly focus on defense in the early stage. I also focus on defense. I will develop first, and counter-camp if there is a situation. I rarely choose to take the initiative to attack."

"You guys develop first, and then I'll set the pace."

At level one, IG had no intention of invading and took a defensive position.

The first wave of soldiers came out, and with the help of the duo, Yuan Shen got the first red BUFF.

All wild monsters in the first round must be cleared.

The director gave Shen a close-up.

Wawa commented: "Shen seems a bit slow in jungling. Although he has the W skill that can make him immune to basic attacks, it needs CD. I feel like he needs to spawn a Tiamat right away, otherwise the speed of jungling will be too slow."

Both sides were at peace in the early stages, but the battle became more intense when they got on the road.

Originally Huni got Gnar and thought he could suppress Theshy, but now Theshy got Kennen, who is very good at playing against Gnar. Kennen's strength has been increasing from the beginning, and Huni can only retreat step by step.

Rita commented: "It feels like the same problem. SKT didn't want Theshy to get Gnar, so they chose to steal it. However, Theshy's Gnar is so powerful, he must know what Gnar is most afraid of. It's easy for him to target that."

In the middle lane, Rookie's Clockwork was suppressing Faker's Galio.

Faker's playing style is very simple, which is to push the minion line hard so that Clockwork cannot concentrate his firepower to consume him due to the pressure of the minion line.

The two sides of the bottom lane are just developing completely, no one wants to fight, and it's almost impossible to get any results, so there's no need to do anything.

Soon, the first round of wild monsters was over. Yuan Shen chose to return to the city and gave the top laner a signal:
"Be careful in the top lane, the enemy jungler may go back to the top lane."

In the top lane, Kennen pushed Gnar under the defensive tower, making it quite convenient for the opposing jungler to go GANK.

However, just as Yuan Sheng was returning to the city, on the top lane, the opposing Huni's Nal took the initiative to fight with Theshy. At the same time, the opposing jungler Prince came over from the river.

Seeing this, Kennen activated his E skill and retreated. At this time, Gnar had already stacked up his anger. He used his E skill to grow bigger in mid-air, and used his W skill to try to control Kennen.

Kennen dodged, Gnar picked up a rock and threw it at him, and Kennen continued to move.

After the Prince approaches, use W to slow him down first, then output damage at close range. Kennen fights and retreats at the same time, then suddenly uses W to control the Prince, and takes this opportunity to continue retreating!

The Prince decisively used two EQ attacks, but Kennen moved sideways and dodged it!
"Xiba, is this possible?" CUZZ felt a little helpless as if he was being manipulated.

Huni said: "We should have banned Kennen, what a mistake! Kennen is a hero that is hard to catch, and it is easy to beat me, the hero counter."

Faker comforted him: "Don't worry, we will develop slowly. After we develop, our lineup will be no worse than the opponent's."

Seeing Kennen successfully escape, Wawa commented: "This was a perfect handling. He dodged 10,000 skills by moving around, and he didn't even need to use flash? This successfully resolved the crisis?"

Miller praised: "This is Theshy's personal ability. He dares to suppress the opponent in the top lane, and he doesn't like to set vision. There is a reason. He is not giving away, he is just confident enough in his operation."

Yuan Shen was counter-jungling in the opposite bottom jungle. The moment he saw Prince appear in the top lane, he went straight to the opposite jungle to counter-jungle, which he considered a profit.

CUZZ came to the lower half of the jungle in the bottom lane. Looking at the empty jungle, he suddenly felt a little helpless as he had wasted too much time in the top lane.

In the top lane, although teammates came to help gank once, it had no impact on the situation in the top lane. Kennen continued to suppress Gary, and Huni had no choice but to lose because of his operational skills.

Soon, the game time reached five and a half minutes, and the single-player lane was gradually upgraded to level six.

Rookie gave a signal in the middle lane: "Galio on the opposite side is at level 6, everyone be careful."

Hearing this, the top and bottom lanes both stepped back.

Wawa commented: "It's almost six minutes now and neither side has a kill. It's very peaceful. At this critical moment, both sides are very cautious. Now that Galio is level 6, I think IG will be even more cautious."

Miller agreed, "That's right. Since IG didn't make a move before, I don't think they will make a move now. There's no need. They can wait until Shen reaches level 6, or counter-camp and wait for SKT to make the first move.

At this moment, Kennen suddenly attacked on the top lane.

At this time, the opponent's Gary was low on health and under the defensive tower. Kennen went directly over the tower, got close and started with AQ, then activated his ultimate and E skill.

Gnar decisively used his E skill to retreat, but was controlled by Kennen's passive skill triggered by his W, and was finally taken away by his ultimate!

First blood burst out, completing a solo kill in the top lane!

Yuan Shen glanced at the middle lane. Galio had the opportunity to use his ultimate skill to save people, but he didn't!
This is a bit too much, but in the long run it is right, because the top lane is really not worth saving, and this big move will definitely have other uses. (End of this chapter)
