Chapter 538 East-West Contest!

After winning the SOLO match, Yuan Shen stood up and walked over to Faker to shake hands.

While shaking hands with Yuan Shen, Faker also said, "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Yuan Shen nodded.

The audience was shouting, "Master Yuan! Master Yuan! Master Yuan!"

Yuan Shen waved to the audience and interacted with them.

The atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.

Yuan Shen turned and walked towards the lounge. When he returned to the lounge, Meiko, Saonan and others came up to congratulate him.

Fu Manduo said, "Today's competition has ended perfectly. Let's pack up and go back. Everyone has worked hard. Let's relax tonight."

Everyone packed up their things and left the competition venue together.

I have to say that the All-Star Game is really fun. The games during the day are relatively relaxing, and at night you can eat delicious food, go out to see the scenery, go window shopping.

There is no pressure.

There is no need to review the game after it is played.

Before going to bed at night, it’s very relaxing to read the funny things posted by netizens online.

The next day was the final day of the All-Star Game.

The first part of today’s match is the East-West competition!

In the lounge of the LPL region, Fu Manduo greeted:

"Today's first round is the East-West match. I have already communicated with the coaches of LCK and LMS yesterday. Each region will send one or two people to each game."

"Each player only has one chance to play, and they only play one game. The first two games of this East-West match are Summoner's Rift, and the third game is Nexus Blitz."

Yuan Shen quickly said, "I have never played Ultimate Blitz before, so you won't assign me to it."

Fu Manduo shook his head; "Of course not, I have already considered this issue. Besides, the Extreme Blitz Mode cannot fully utilize your abilities."

"You are definitely going to play in Summoner's Rift, and we are counting on you to win first."

Yuan Shen nodded.

Fu Manduo continued; "In the first game, Summoner's Canyon 5V5, our LPL region will field Yuan Shen and Theshy, responsible for the jungle and top positions."

Yuan Shen looked back at Theshy, Theshy smiled, and the two exchanged glances, and both understood what was going on.

Yu Shuang exclaimed, "Wow! Champion Ueno, I feel like I've already won. Who in Europe and America can compete with me? No one."

Fu Manduo responded, "We don't know what lineup the other side will send out either. It's all kept secret. We won't know until we go on the field."

UZI came over and asked, "What segment am I assigned to? It won't be the Ultimate Blitz, will it?"

Fu Manduo responded; "You and Meiko will play the second game, also in Summoner's Rift."

UZI breathed a sigh of relief; "That's fine, I still prefer Summoner's Rift."

"What about my teammates? Who are my teammates? Faker is here, right?"

Fu Manduo shook his head; "No, he was in the first game."

"Ah? No way, there is already a champion top and jungle, and we need another Faker?" UZI exclaimed.

Fu Manduo explained, "It's mainly to ensure a stable win in the first game."

"Besides, this is the All-Star Game, so the audience may be more accustomed to this arrangement. The strength and viewing experience of this midfielder are first-rate."

UZI sighed; "Alas! It seems I have to lead the team alone."

Meiko teased, "You lead the team alone? Then I will just play casually and prepare to win without any effort."

After a while, Fu Manduo called out, "It's almost time, Yuan Shen, Theshy, get ready to play."

Yuan Shen and Theshy stood up, and the others shouted to cheer them on; "Come on! We'll wait for your triumphant return."

At the game, in the LPL division commentary booth, Wawa said:

"Hello, audience friends, this is the last day of the All-Star Game. All modes will enter the final stage. The first one to go is the East-West match."

"The East is represented by LPL, LCK, LMS and the wildcard regions in Southeast Asia, while the West is represented by LEC, LCS and several wildcard regions in Eastern Europe."

Miller continued, "The map is Summoner's Rift, 5v5 draft mode, just like the games we usually watch, the difference is that the players of each team will be selected from different regions."

"In principle, there cannot be more than two players from the same region, the purpose is to allow more regions to participate."

At the competition site, the host came on stage and after a brief opening speech, invited the contestants from both sides to take the stage.

First up is the Eastern team!

Wang Duoduo began to introduce; "Now on the field is the Eastern team, and the top laner is the champion top laner from the LPL region, Theshy!"

The moment Theshy came on stage, the audience was so excited:
"Theshy! Theshy!"

Many people waved Theshy support cards in their hands, making the scene very lively.

Wang Duoduo continued to explain; "The jungler of the Eastern team is also the legendary four-time champion from the LPL region, the No. 1 player in the league, the champion jungler Yuanshen!"

The audience was going crazy, even more excited than when Theshy appeared on stage. The cheers were overwhelming and the entire venue was shaking.

Wang Duoduo commented, "The next player to appear is the mid laner, the former champion mid laner from LCK, Faker!"

Faker walked onto the stage and the audience was very excited.

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were all:

"Oh my god, this mid and top jungler seems to be of the same strength as IG's mid and top jungler, how can others beat them?"

"To be honest, I think Faker is better than Rookie in some aspects."

"It shouldn't be too much for these three people to fight against the five on the other side."

"Master Yuan is relieved now, with two capable helpers."

Wang Duoduo was still introducing; "ADC is An from the LMS region, Xiao An."

"The support is from the wildcard group's G4. This is the Eastern team's first lineup."

The host continued to invite the Western team to come on stage.

Wang Duoduo briefly introduced; "For the Western team, the top laner is Wunder, the jungler is Hai, the mid laner is Caps, the ADC is Doublelift, and the support is Immortoru."

After the players from both teams came on stage, they stood face to face in the middle of the stage and shook hands.

Then they turned around and walked towards their respective positions.

Yuan Shen sat down and put on headphones.

Fu Manduo is the coach, he is directing; "Can you hear me? Can everyone hear me?"

Everyone responded one by one to indicate that they could hear it.

Fu Manduo said, "This is the All-Star Game. I hope everyone has fun. Just choose the lineup you like."

Yuan Shen created a room, pulled his teammates in first, and then invited the five people on the opposite side.

After the five people from the opposite side come in, everything is ready.

Entering the BP screen, the Eastern team is on the red side and the Western team is on the blue side. BAN position situation:
Eastern Team: Garen, Gangplank, Galio

Western Team: Teemo, Enchantress, Poppy

Wawa laughed. "Ah? These two teams started to make trouble right from the start? The three banned players of the Eastern team, aren't they Faker's favorite three brothers of the navy, army and air force?"

Miller continued, "As for the Western team, they banned three Yodels. The game hasn't even started yet, but the two sides have already started playing."

Entering the hero selection phase, the blue Western team got Urgot on the first floor.

Wawa commented, "This is a very formal hero. Urgot is T0 in the top lane. It seems that the Western team is under a lot of pressure in the top lane."

Wang Duoduo laughed; "Facing the champion top laner, how can there not be pressure?"

Team East got Fiora and Riven on the first and second floors.

When these two heroes were selected, the whole audience was in an uproar:
"What's going on? Can Fiora and Riven be selected at the same time?"

"Did you make a mistake? Your hands are shaking, or maybe you didn't communicate well."

"Theshy and Yuan Shen were originally on the same team, how could they not communicate well?"

"That's outrageous. Isn't this just for free?"

In the commentary booth, the three commentators were also confused.

Wawa commented, "I know Theshy's Fiora is very good, and I also know Yuan Shen can play Riven. It's not that Riven can't play jungle, but these two heroes appear at the same time..."

"To be honest, if I were playing ranked and saw the first and second floors making this choice, I would kill them instantly."

Wang Duoduo smiled and said, “Indeed, these two heroes mean it’s very difficult to win in our division. If you pick both of them together, you’re basically going to lose.”

It was the Western team's turn. The Western team got Zhao Xin and Jian Mo on the second and third floors.

Miller felt something was wrong; "It seems like both sides are choosing their own heroes, and if you look at the Western team, the three physical heroes in the midfield, top and jungle are all warrior heroes. It feels like they are not playing for the sake of winning, but just for fun."

Wawa agreed; "Indeed, this match is going to be interesting, it's all about operations, and there are too many close combats, they just fight when they meet, it's hard to drag it out, and once they fight, there has to be a result."

The Eastern team got Irelia on the third floor.

At this time, in the LPL lounge, Meiko was dumbfounded. "What's going on? Three of the four sisters in the top lane were picked. Can we really win? Why do we feel like we are no match for the opponent at all?"

UZI shook his head; "You're crazy, there's no way you can win if you choose heroes like this."

The director gave a close-up of the Eastern team's mid, top and jungle, Yuan Shen, Theshy and Faker. The three of them were talking and laughing, and people would have thought they were on the same team.

Entering the second round of BP, the Eastern team banned Sona and Karma.

The Western teams continue to ban Yordles, Kled, and Rumble.

The East team got Victor on the fourth floor.

Wawa commented: "I thought they were going to pick Shen as well, that was too outrageous, now it seems normal, at least there is a TP hero."

Wang Duoduo speculated; "Is there a possibility that Xiao An doesn't know how to play Shen, so she can only choose Viktor. As an ADC, the probability that he can play Shen is very low."

The Western team got the Great Inventor and Titan on the fourth and fifth floors.

Miller analyzed; "Western teams are also now supplementing AP damage and control to make their lineups as reasonable as possible."

Wawa laughed and said, "To be honest, after the midfielder, top laner and jungler are selected, this lineup can no longer be considered reasonable."

Finally, the Eastern team got Morgana on the fifth floor, and the lineups of both teams were determined:
Red team Eastern: top lane Fiora, jungle Riven, mid lane Irelia, ADC Viktor, support Morgana.

Blue Western Team: Top Urgot, Jungle Xin Zhao, Mid Aatrox, ADC Great Inventor, Support Titan

Enter the game screen.

As a jungler, Yuan Shen began to set the pace; "Everyone just play freely in this game, watch the signal, coordinate at any time, and have fun."

Theshy responded; "It seems that it's difficult to play in the top lane."

Yuan Shen smiled; "Then I won't go, or I will be counter-attacked and unable to beat them."

"Let's go and start a level one group."

Yuan Shen led his teammates straight to the bottom of the river.

From a bird's eye view, the Western team was the same, with five people huddled together.

Wawa commented, "As expected, the All-Stars game must be fought at level one, otherwise it won't be interesting. Now everyone on both sides has arrived, and they met at the river and started fighting."

"From the lineup, the supports on both sides are the ones who start the team fight. They are all looking for opportunities. Morgana takes action!"

Yuan Shen's team's auxiliary Morgana used a Q skill to try to control the Sword Demon who was standing in the front.

However, the Sword Demon dodged it easily by moving. There was a certain distance, so it was quite easy to dodge.

Seeing that Morgana's Q missed, Titan gave up his hook!
Wang Duoduo commented; "This Titan is very smart. He deliberately waited until Morgana didn't have Q before going up, so that he wouldn't be controlled to death. Riven! Riven gave up Q1 to dodge, and the hook hit Morgana behind her!"

"The Great Inventor flashed E to catch up with the control and the two sides started fighting! Fiora was exposed and attacked the opposite Titan. The Western team chose to focus on Morgana, but! Riven Q2, Q3 knocked her up and hit her with full AOE!"

Wawa passionately explained; "Irelia was actually learning D at level 1, Faker handed over the Twin Blades, the opponent's Titan flashed back to avoid it, Aatrox flashed forward to follow, Morgana flashed back when her health was low, and Xin Zhao flashed up to take the kill!"

"The Eastern team lost members first. The situation seems bad. Fiora is chasing the opponent's Great Inventor. Riven is catching up, but he needs to wait for skills. Fiora's Q exposes a big flaw, speeds up and blocks the position. Continue to attack. The Great Inventor is going to be gone!"

On the other side, Viktor was being chased and attacked. He used flash to dodge Thresh's next hook, and Irelia moved to the side to dodge first.

The opponent also turned around to look for Fiora and Riven, and Faker's Irelia went up from the side to provide cover.

Wawa explained, "The four players on the opposite team are grouped together, while the four players on the Eastern team are scattered. Only Fiora and Shen are together. It looks like they have surrounded the other team."

"But it's easy for the enemy to defeat them one by one!"

Yuan Shen gave an order; "Get started!"

Theshy's Fiora used her Q skill to go up, and Titan controlled her with a basic attack. Xin Zhao, Urgot, and Aatrox followed up with output.

So Yuan Shen acted decisively, and while the opponents were gathered together, the Broken Wing Dance bloomed on the faces of the four people on the opposite side!

Wawa exclaimed; "Riven launched an explosive AOE! Fiora's health was at the bottom, so she flashed back. Faker's Irelia flashed out her twin blades, controlling three people. The opponent was about to explode!"

Suddenly realizing that he could win, Viktor came back and used his E skill to deal damage.

Yuan Shen took down the opposing Titan, then Xin Zhao, and Urgot flashed up and killed Fiora.

The Sword Demon didn't flash and was killed by Irelia.

Wawa commented, "There is only one Urgot left. It's a two-for-four trade. The Eastern team made a lot of money. Riven's AOE is really strong. With both sets of skills fully utilized, he should have the highest damage in the game and is leading by a huge margin."

Unable to catch up with Urgot, the Eastern team decided to return to the city for supplies.

Theshy muttered; "What a pity."

Yuan Shen smiled and said, "It seems that the hatred value on you is very high. They are determined to kill you."

Theshy responded; "It's normal, I'm used to it."

Everyone returned to the city for supplies, and Yuan Shen had two kills, which was very beneficial for his jungle clearing.

At this time, the troops on all three lanes have arrived and are all suffering losses.

Overall, it's about the same. Losing money is the same as not losing anything. (End of this chapter)
