Chapter 311: Decisive Battle! Individual Talent VS Teamwork!

Judging from the data, Rookie’s data is also very impressive, comparable to Scout, but with a different focus.

Scout’s participation rate and assists were first among the mid laners, and he performed very well as a team.

Rookie’s solo kills, kills, and output are the best among the mid-lane positions.

Relatively speaking, Scout plays more like a team, while Rouji prefers to manipulate others and likes to get kills.

Rating: 9.9
Evaluation: In the best condition, met the strongest teammates, hope to realize my dream.

Scuot vs. Rookie: 50-50.

Here comes the quarrel:

“That’s enough, you’re so good, but you don’t have a champion? Don’t you have any idea?”

“Haha, just stop studying. If it weren’t for Brother Mozi, who is such a big shot, would he be able to win the championship?”

“Nine to one, the ten percent is for the Ji Za teammate.”

“19:1, the 10% is for Brother Mozi’s sake.”

Su Mo laughed as he saw that the fans on both sides were not giving in at all and were determined to fight to the death.

Su Mo guessed that it was because these two people were strong enough, so their fans were more loyal.

Read on.

Iboy.

Iboy’s data is also quite outstanding among ADCs, basically at the top three level.

Rating: 9.3
Evaluation: Stable performance and extremely quick reaction, but I feel he is not capable of taking on a major role and his ability to deal with desperate situations is a little lacking.

Jackeylove
Jackeylove’s data is also interesting. Although his output is high, his KDA and survivability are relatively poor.

Rating: 9.7
Evaluation: Big heart, dare to operate, bold, no attention to details.

Seeing the words “no details”, Su Mo laughed. This means that Jackeylove’s operation is rough.

Iboy vs. Jackeylove: 30-70
The following comment exploded:
“The water content is terrible, 70%? 70%!”

“Isn’t Pisces just a slacker? With teammates like him, who wouldn’t be a slacker? I can do that too.”

“Haha, are IG’s mid, top and jungle worse than EDG’s? Why don’t they have a championship? Is it possible that someone is confused?”

“If the Pisces man is held within 20 knives in ten minutes, it will be considered a success.”

Jackeylove’s fans obviously don’t think much of Iboy, but of course Iboy’s fans won’t indulge him. With a championship in hand, they naturally speak with confidence.

Read on.

Meiko.

Meiko’s statistics are very gorgeous, almost the same as Su Mo, and he is completely dominant in the auxiliary position!
What surprised Su Mo was the output. Meiko was in the support position, but his output share was actually the highest.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Meiko has played heroes like Pike several times.

Pike can deal relatively high damage, and his ultimate skill can have a killing effect.

Rating: 9.8
Evaluation: Goat in the LPL support position, stable performance, good hero, and most importantly, good personality.

The OP also added personality factors into the mix, which makes sense!
After all, the bottom lane is a road for two people. If one has a bad temper, it will affect the other person.

Therefore, a good personality is indeed a great advantage, and it can make it comfortable for partners to get along with each other.

Baolan.

Baolan’s data is relatively average, average in all aspects, about the top five.

If it was in the round of 16, this data would be impressive, but now it is the final.

It’s not good enough to be placed in the final team.

Rating: 8.5
Comment: Please don’t play Titan anymore, stay in the bottom lane and don’t run around.

It can be seen that the poster should be a fan of IG, or even a fan of Jackeylove, so he is quite resentful towards Baolan.

Meiko vs. Baolan: 70:30.

Sure enough, the comment section below was relatively peaceful, and many IG fans also agreed with this statement.

After considering all this, the author came to a conclusion that the two teams are evenly matched!

Although Su Mo felt something was wrong, if he added up the numbers on the left and right sides of the five positions above, it was definitely not a 50-50 split.

However, the poster is a fan of IG, so it is normal for him to say that.

Su Mo continued to watch and fell asleep without knowing when.

The next morning, the EDG team gathered together and then set out from the hotel and headed straight to the competition venue.

Of course, I’m not here to play the game now, the final will be next weekend.

The EDG team came here to shoot a promotional video for the finals.

IG also came over.

Both teams put on their team uniforms and went backstage to put on some makeup, where an official makeup artist was waiting.

After putting on makeup, they came to the stage together, EDG stood on the left and IG stood on the right.

There are also staff on the stage setting up the scene, including lighting technicians, photographers, action directors, directors, etc.

After some preparation, the director said, “Everyone is here, everything is ready, let’s start.”

The director was holding a script in his hand. He read it and said, “First, arrange all the players of the EDG team, including the coach, to use scenario one…”

The staff began to arrange the background, lighting, etc.

The EDG members stood in the middle of the stage, and the action director came up to arrange everyone’s posture and movements.

Let’s start with a family photo. Su Mo is in the middle, and Iboy and Scout are standing beside him like two sword-wielding guards. Both of them are standing sideways, looking very cool.

Especially Scout, with his cold expression and sharp eyes exuding murderous intent.

“Very handsome, Scuot.” King Ning suddenly shouted.

Scout’s mouth corners just rose slightly, and he immediately suppressed the smile.

Then, Su Mo, the action director arranged for him to look down, with a condescending posture, looking down on the world!

Prince Ning made a joke again: “Is he so handsome? Brother Mozi, so scary.”

As for the factory manager and Meiko, the two stood at the back, like the backup of the three Cs.

After standing still, the photographer starts working, shooting from all angles. After finishing a round, he moves forward, changes his movements and standing posture, and continues shooting.

The EDG team followed the instructions and worked for about half an hour before finally finishing.

Of course, in this half hour, you may only need to pick out less than ten seconds of footage to extract the essence.

After EDG finished filming, it was IG’s turn.

The factory manager muttered, “Good boy, they just harassed us, we have to fight back.”

What surprised Su Mo was that Abu did not stop him.

Even though everyone in IG had just stood up, the factory manager said, “Ning Wang, your pants fell off.”

“Pfft…” Meiko laughed out loud, and the others couldn’t help laughing. No one expected the factory manager to make such a big deal.

The key point is that King Ning actually believed it and subconsciously grabbed his pants.

It took IG half an hour to finish filming, and the director continued to arrange: “Next is the trash talk session, one position at a time.”

“First up are the top laners, EDG’s Zz1tai and IG’s Theshy.”

He smiled slightly, walked up happily and sat on the chair.

Theshy had a cold face and sat opposite Zzitai in a very domineering manner.

The director then said, “Let’s start when you are ready. Contestant Zz1tai goes first.”

There is always a smile on Zizhi’s face, which makes him look like a smug man.

He just said: “I saw Theshy’s performance in the semi-finals and was very shocked!”

“So, I will cheer for Mozi from below. Theshy is very strong, but can he be stronger than Mozi? It’s impossible.”

Meiko was shocked: “Oh my god, so direct? I thought he would just pretend.”

The factory manager spread his hands and said, “This is the posture.”

Several people on IG side were laughing so hard.

Theshy did not respond at first, and seemed to be speechless.

After some deliberation, he said, “Then let’s change someone.”

Meiko laughed and said, “Hey, will the director include this line in the movie?”

The factory manager shook his head: “I don’t know, I think it’s good to put it in, it shows your true feelings.”

The director was a little speechless, so he said, “Then let’s change EDG’s Mo.”

Su Mo walked forward, sat in front of Theshy, and said:
“As an LPL player, I feel very happy to see Theshy’s performance. Another super top laner has been born in LPL. His hero pool, operation and details are impeccable, but…”

Su Mo changed the subject: “But this time the championship cannot be given to IG. We have plenty of ways to win the game.”

Theshy responded: “Mo is a top laner that I like very much. I got a lot of inspiration from his games. I know that Mo has many special routines and tactics to win the game.”

“However, the truth is simple. I will defeat him in the purest way and win the championship.”

The factory manager exclaimed, “No! The Great Dao Zhi Jian has already come? Someone must have taught him in advance.”

Abu nodded: “Well, Xiao Mo is indeed good at routines, everyone knows this, so it is not difficult for IG to prepare their speeches in advance.”

Su Mo continued, “No problem, let’s see who’s the winner on the field.”

Theshy responded: “But I doubt that it will not be Mo who will be against me at that time.”

Su Mo smiled: “You want to get information from me? I can only say that there will be at least one fight in the top lane.”

Prince Ning, who was standing nearby, muttered, “Is this true? Why do I feel like he is setting a trap?”

Rookie reminded: “What did we say before? Don’t play tricks with EDG. We won’t win. Now no matter what they say, we have to stick to our own way of playing.”

Su Mo and Theshy stood up and returned to their respective camps.

The director continued: “Then it’s the jungle position, EDG’s Clearlove8, and IG’s Ning.”

So the factory director and Prince Ning walked forward and sat down facing each other.

The factory manager spoke first: “I know Ning Wang is eager for this championship, but after watching your game, I think you should settle down for two more years. Winning the championship now is too much of a task for you.”

Ning Wang smiled: “Zhang Zhazhang, you have been too calm in the past. You have lost your courage. You dare not go up, dare not start a team fight. You should be more pure in life.”

Meiko laughed: “Ning Wang’s aggression is really strong.”

Su Mo replied: “That’s my personality.”

The factory manager retorted: “I am now the jungler with the highest participation rate in team fights, and you said that I don’t dare to start a team fight. You actually said that I don’t dare to start a team fight. I can only say that your understanding of the game may be different from others.”

Ning Wang responded: “It’s because Mozi went to EDG and changed you.”

“Anyway, we IG will definitely win this championship, so let’s wait and see.” Iboy muttered, “It shouldn’t be that everyone will be included without a plan, I guess this will be cut.”

The factory director got up and came back. He and Prince Ning were a little confused about what was going on. It felt like a scholar meeting a soldier.

The director’s voice came: “Mid-lane position, EDG’s Scout, and IG’s Rookie.”

So Scout and Rookie walked forward and sat down.

Scout spoke first: “Rookie is a senior whom I respect very much. I have watched many of his games and I learned some hero operations from him.”

“But that’s it. I want this trophy more than Rookie does, and I will beat him without reservation.”

Rookie responded: “Scout is very good, but not good enough. He should be satisfied with just one championship. This championship is extremely important to me, and I will take it.”

Scout and Rookie were at loggerheads with each other, and the momentum was basically evenly matched, and neither was afraid of the other.

Meiko praised: “The young are really promising. Now Scout has grown into a player who can stand on his own.”

After Scout and Rookie came down, it was Iboy and Jackeylove’s turn.

The two of them walked up at the same time and sat down.

Iboy spoke first: “I’ve watched a lot of IG’s games. To be honest, if IG had a stronger bottom lane combination, it would be the biggest threat to us. Fortunately, their bottom lane is not bad right now.”

Meiko laughed, “Wow, so mean? I didn’t realize Xiao Zhao was so playful.”

The most outrageous thing happened. King Ning actually said, “That makes sense, shorty, did you hear me? I told you to…”

Rookie and Baolan directly covered Ning Wang’s mouth to prevent him from making any sound.

Jackeylove responded: “I almost forgot whether you were the bottom laner when EDG won the championship in S7. After all, EDG’s bottom laner was always invisible and had no sense of existence.”

Iboy responded: “It doesn’t matter, I will impress you in this final.”

Jackeylove sneered, “Is the dish impressive?”

Iboy responded: “Are you consoling yourself?”

Jackeylove was not to be outdone: “I just tried to wake you up, but if you insist on dreaming, that’s up to you.”

Meiko sighed, “It seems like there’s some personal grudge between these two, otherwise it wouldn’t be so smooth.”

Su Mo reminded: “Now the Internet is discussing who will be the LPL bottom laner after UZI. Xiao Zhao and Jackeylove are the most discussed. The competition between them must be fierce.”

Meiko nodded. “Yes.”

After Iboy and Jackeylove finished, it was Meiko and Baolan’s turn.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

“It’s over!” The factory manager had a bad feeling. The emotions he had worked so hard to muster were about to be destroyed.

As expected, Meiko said: “I am surprised at how fast Baolan is growing. In him, I see myself working hard to improve myself. I hope we can perform well in this final and make progress together.”

“Alas.” The factory manager shook his head helplessly. He knew that Meiko had this kind of personality and there was nothing he could do about it.

Baolan responded: “Meiko is my favorite support player. I have been watching his game videos to learn from him. It can be said that without him, I would not be at my current level.”

The other players from EDG and IG felt very embarrassed. They had said so many harsh words before, but now with this happening, they looked like fools for their previous behavior.

The trash talk was filmed, and the EDG and IG players returned to the hotel to continue studying each other.

Time has come to the weekend!

At the S-League competition site, the game had not yet started but the venue was already packed with people.

The audience at the scene held IG and EDG cheering signs in their hands.

“Where are the EDG fans!”

“This way, this way!”

“EDG! EDG!”

“IG fans, get excited!”

“IG! Must win! IG! Must win!”

Although it is the home court of LCK, the audience on site basically speaks Chinese.

In the backstage lounge, the EDG members are waiting for the game to begin.

Su Mo was playing with his phone when people kept sending him messages. Players from various regions, including LES, LCS, LCK, and LPL, all sent him messages wishing him success.

Of course, there are also commentators, hosts, media workers, and anchors from each major competition area.

Ever since Su Mo won the S7 championship, many people have asked for his contact information.

The factory manager suddenly sat down next to Su Mo. Su Mo took a look and asked:

“Huh? What’s going on?”

The factory manager patted Su Mo’s thigh and said, “Xiao Mo, if everything goes well today, we will be two S-League champions. Only SKT has ever done that in history.”

Su Mo nodded: “Well, then what?”

The factory manager seemed a little nervous: “Double champion… To be honest, it feels like a dream. I have never thought about such a thing before. I would be satisfied with just one championship.”

Su Mo smiled: “When people are nervous, they want to find something to do, even if it is meaningless.”

The factory manager quickly said: “Nervous? I’m nervous? How could it be possible…”

Suddenly, Abu came over and said, “It’s almost time. BP, tactics, and starting lineup have all been determined in advance. Follow the plan and get ready to go.”

Everyone in EDG stood up and gathered around Abu.

Abu continued: “This is our last match. If we win this BO5, we will be able to achieve the double championship, and it will be consecutive championships. This is a very difficult thing, and there is almost no second chance.”

“The peak period of a professional player is only so long. The versions are constantly changing, and your own strength and the strength of your teammates are also changing. To win a championship requires the right time, place and people. Winning consecutive championships is even more difficult.”

“So, we must seize this opportunity and not leave any regrets in our lives.”

Everyone in EDG nodded heavily.

On the other side, in the IG locker room, Coach Jin called out, “It’s almost time, get ready to play.”

Everyone on IG stood up, and Coach Jin continued:
“You are now at the peak of your strength, and the five of you are working together very well. You are in the best condition in all aspects. Treat this opportunity as your last chance.”

“Don’t think that you are still young and have just debuted, so you will have many opportunities in the future. Maybe you can maintain your peak, but you will never meet such suitable teammates again.”

Ning Wang laughed: “How is that possible? We are going to win the double crown together. No, it’s the triple crown. We can’t lose.”

At the game site, in the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo, Guan Zeyuan, and Rita were ready.

Guan Zeyuan explained: “Hello, audience friends, we are about to enter the exciting finals. The two strongest teams in the world and the ten strongest players in the world will compete in this venue and break through their limits.”

“If IG wins, it will be the first championship in the team’s history. If EDG wins, it will be the first team in the LPL region to complete consecutive championships, and the second team to accomplish this feat besides SKT.”

Wang Duoduo continued: “Yes, it is not easy to accomplish this feat. You have to overcome the version changes, your own state changes, the state changes of your teammates, and new challengers.”

Rita reminded: “Now, both teams have confirmed their starting lineups. IG has not changed, and on the EDG side, Mozi will play in the top lane! Face Theshy!”

At the competition site, the host, Roaring Emperor, came on stage and began to stir up the atmosphere.

Entering the stage performance session, after the performance, the Roaring Emperor greeted:

“Now let’s welcome the players from both sides. First up, here comes the S7 World Finals champion and defending champion E! D! G!”

The EDG fans at the scene were already excited:

“EDG! EDG! EDG!”

“Brother Mozi, double champion! Double FMVP!”

“Director, hold the trophy again!”

“EDG, make history!”

The host introduced them one by one, starting with the top laner and all the way to the support Meiko.

The EDG players took the stage one by one, and each of them aroused cheers from the audience.

Then, it was IG’s turn. The Roaring Emperor greeted, “Now, let’s welcome another team from the LPL region, I!G!”

The five IG players appeared on the stage and were introduced starting with the top laner.

After the ten players from both sides appeared on the stage, the promotional video of this S game began to play.

After the opening credits, the trash talk session began, with both sides opening fire.

The mood of the audience changed accordingly.

Especially the part between Iboy and Jackeylove, Su Mo felt that the audiences on both sides were about to fight, and the emotional mobilization was very successful.

After the promotional video was played, the two contestants stood face to face in the middle of the stage and shook hands.

Su Mo faced Theshy.

Theshy looked quite confident, and did not show any sign of timidity even in front of Su Mo.

After shaking hands, Su Mo turned around and went to his seat, sat down, and put on headphones.

The BP of the first game began. In this game, EDG was on the red side and IG was on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
EDG: LeBron, Syndra, Jayce
IG: Nightmare, Blue Steel Shadow, Poppy
Rita began to analyze: “EDG chose to put all three bans in the middle lane to make it easier for Scout to play. As for the top lane, I believe that with Mozi, there won’t be too many problems.”

Guan Zeyuan said: “You know what, when other teams face IG, it is easy for them to run out of BAN slots. IG has too many heroes that need to be BANed.”

“But this problem may not apply to EDG, because they have a deep hero pool and can grab heroes, and they are strong in laning. They are not worried that they will not be able to play some heroes if they are given to IG.”

Entering the hero selection stage, IG on the blue side got the Aatrox on the first floor.

Wang Duoduo commented: “Very strong, the first floor got the Aatrox. In the previous BO2 against G5, Theshy’s Aatrox had a perfect performance in the river.”

“I see many people compare it to Mozi’s Sword Demon who turned the tide in the river team battle. They all call him the River Sword Demon. Now the river has become the Sword Demon’s holy land.”

Rita joked, “So if the opponent has a Sword Demon, you can’t fight with him in the river. You are likely to be manipulated. It’s better to fight in the lane or jungle.”

EDG on the blue side got Xayah and Rakan.

IG locked down Kaisa and Minotaur on the second and third floors.

Guan Zeyuan analyzed: “Both sides chose to bring out the bottom lane duo early. From the perspective of the combination itself, both sides have fun. After all, the heroes in the bottom lane have not been banned, and they all have very strong heroes.”

EDG locked Akali on the third floor.

Wang Duoduo became excited: “Akali is here! Currently, both sides have chosen Aatrox and Akali, both of which are heroes that can be used as mid or top positions. It’s hard to say now. It feels like both sides are still fighting wits and courage.”

Entering the second round of BP, EDG banned Cassiopeia and Lissandra.

IG also banned Urgot and Ryze.

EDG locked onto Taliyah on the fourth floor.

IG got Gragas and Irelia on the fourth and fifth floors.

Rita analyzed: “This is another hero that can be used in the mid or top positions. It is hard to determine who will be in the mid or top position for IG. They can swap at any time.”

“On the other hand, EDG has already got an Akali. Whether they are laning against Irelia or Aatrox, they feel OK. It might be a bit harder to fight against Irelia.”

The director gave Su Mo a close-up, and his top position has not been determined yet.
