I just messed around, how could I become the number one in the world?

The break wasn't very long and was over quickly.

After studying the battle plan for the upcoming game, both teams began to head towards the stage.

However, the expressions of the players on both sides seemed a little different when they appeared on the field.

The five EDG players all looked relaxed, and were even talking and laughing as they went on stage. After all, for them, this game was not very stressful.

They have already won two games, so they just need to play normally in this game. Even if they lose in the end, they still have a chance to fight back.

On the SKT side, the newcomers looked really nervous. They walked onto the stage with staggering steps, their heads lowered the whole time, and they didn't dare to look at the audience below.

Even as an old member, Faker, who has won two championships, has an extremely heavy expression at this moment.

EDG has already lost two games in a row.

This game is a matter of life and death for them. If they lose, they will have no chance to stand on the stage again, nor will they have the chance to compete for the championship trophy.

In S9, SKT's progress will stop here...

"Don't be nervous. Now that EDG has won two games in a row, they will definitely let down their guard. We must seize this opportunity and win!"

Behind him, the coach couldn't help but speak when he saw the serious expressions on the players' faces.

Although this is the last life-and-death game for SKT, they still have hope of winning.

Just as he said, EDG won two games and must have been careless, slacking off in both BP and playing style.

What they need now is to take advantage of this opportunity and find a breakthrough! !
After hearing the coach's words, hope ignited in the hearts of SKT players.

Members of both sides began to take their seats.

Tens of thousands of fans in the audience cheered again, especially from the LCK side, who cheered very loudly. After all, SKT was the only team left in the entire World Championship.

More importantly, SKT is in a very dangerous situation. It has lost two games in a row against EDG and is now a life-and-death game.

Now they just hope that SKT doesn't lose so embarrassingly, and at least wins, so that they can't be said to be crushed.

The audience on the LPL side seemed particularly relaxed.

It doesn't matter if EDG loses this game. Besides, how can EDG lose in this state? ?

"Isn't it possible that Maoshen's current top lane level is among the best in the world?"

"Absolutely! Have you forgotten? Khan is known as the strongest top laner in LCK, but now after facing Maoshen, he has been beaten without a sound!!"

"Both games were crushing. With this strength, I can say that Maoshen is the best top laner in the world!!"

Off the court, the audience was very satisfied with Gu Chen's performance. After all, the top laners in LPL are very weak.

Since ancient times, the top laners of LPL only shone for one or two seasons before falling to the bottom. Later, LPL teams basically did not have any dazzling results in the world games.

Especially the EDG team, their top laners used to be tanky and were used as tools by the team, which also made it easy for the top laner to become a breakthrough point.

In the past two seasons, Gu Chen's performance in the top lane has repeatedly impressed people.

Gu Chen's strength as a top laner is almost catching up with his mid laner...

Many people think so!!
……

After the referees from both sides checked for a while, the BP phase of the third game of the semi-final began.

The members of both teams are ready.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan, Changmao, and Wang Duoduo were all excited and said, "Alright!! The third match of the semi-finals of this world championship is about to begin. After a short break, I believe both sides will have different strategies, right?"

"In this game, the two sides switched positions. EDG came to the red side, while SKT came to the blue side."

"Although this is only the third game of the BO5, because EDG has already won two games in a row, this third game is already a life-and-death match for SKT!"

"Then let's take a look at this game that will determine SKT's life and death, and see what kind of BP they will make..."

The three people in the commentary booth took turns explaining.

After Wang Duoduo finished his final words, both the big screen at the scene and the screen in the live broadcast room switched to the BP change between EDG and SKT.

Both on and off the stage, everyone started to get into the mood.

This game is very important for both EDG and SKT.

BP starts!!

In the picture, both sides made quick choices in the first round of banpick.

SKT on the blue side first banned Gu Chen's Kennen. The main reason they did not choose to ban other top lane heroes was that they felt Kennen's team fighting ability was too strong and difficult to counter, so they banned him first.

No one was too surprised.

This was all within their expectations. There would be a ban targeting the top lane in every game anyway, and they were used to it.

Many viewers even speculated whether SKT would use all of the first-round ban positions on the single player.

EDG was also very quick, with the interval between the first and second bans being only a few seconds.

Banned Card and Ryze!!
These are all mid-lane mages that Faker is good at!!

"Reasonable!"

After the ban was announced, none of the three commentators were too surprised. Wang Duoduo even said, "EDG is also aware that their mid lane is at a disadvantage against SKT's mid lane, so they used the ban to target Faker's mid lane!"

"Both of them are heroes that can provide quick support and set the tempo. Their purpose is to prevent SKT's mid and jungle from getting into the rhythm!"

"According to EDG's idea, the next step is probably to target the jungle position..."

They all knew very well that with EDG's current strength level, they didn't need to worry about the top lane at all. Even if they were caught, they could still create an advantage.

And uzi in the bottom lane is also very powerful, and his level remains at the top level.

There is no problem with the laning in the upper and lower lanes, so what we need to focus on is the laning in the middle lane and the rhythm of the jungler.

"Now it depends on how SKT bans!" Changmao said with a chuckle.

Soon SKT's next two moves came out.

But to everyone's surprise, SKT did not continue to target Gu Chen's top lane, but instead targeted the mid and jungle.

Sword Lady and Ice Lady were immediately suppressed!!
Moreover, SKT acted very decisively without any excessive hesitation, as if they had thought it through long ago.

Guan Zeyuan was a little surprised and said: "SKT's BP is too fast, right? Moreover, they only banned Fiora, not Riven?"

"Banning a Scout's Ice Maiden, is this... an attempt to limit EDG's mid and jungle rhythm?"

"This is a bit surprising..."

Changmao frowned: "Could it be that SKT has found a way to target Maoshen in the top lane?"

Can't figure it out!
He really couldn't figure it out!

After all, the teams they had met before, after playing a few games with Gu Chen, picked a few consecutive picks, or even a five-ban top laner? ? One Riven, one Jayce...

Just these few warrior top laners are enough to terrify countless top lane professional players. Only those who have faced Gu Chen know how strong the suppression power of these heroes of Gu Chen is.

Not only the commentator was surprised, the audience in the audience was also surprised.

Gu Chen was so happy when he picked Riven in the first game, but SKT actually dared to let Riven go. Did they really buy a plane ticket and go home immediately? ?

I can’t figure it out!!

Whether it is the LPL or LCK audience, they are all a little confused! !

……

The ban is over, and the next step is to select players.

SKT had the advantage of first-hand selection, but during the draft phase, they were not as decisive as they were in banning players.

From the picture of the team seats on site, it can be seen that SKT's coach never stopped talking and kept saying something.

When the final countdown reached eight seconds, SKT's first hero was revealed.

"Jace??"

Wang Duoduo exclaimed: "In the life-or-death game of SKT, Khan still took out his Jayce??"

As we all know, the top laners of LCK teams are all top-notch.

Especially for a top laner like Khan, there is no need to mention his proficiency in Jayce, who is already a big name in LCK alone.

This kind of life-and-death game also shows that SKT does not intend to let its top laner play tanky or be a tool man, but to have a head-on battle with Gu Chen.

Is this Khan's trump card?

At this time, if you take out such a hero under pressure, it would be fine if you win, but if you lose, you will have to take the blame.

“Good fellow…”

Changmao sighed: "SKT is still so bold in choosing. If it were any other team, at this point, they would definitely choose a tank for the top lane!"

He didn't explain what he said, but everyone, whether in the audience or watching the live broadcast, knew that he was talking about LPL.

In the past, LPL top laners were like this. They would be steady in the first game, and if they won, they would play some skilled warriors. But once they lost, they would just be tanky to the end.

Moreover, the contestants themselves did not dare to be selected, after all, they were afraid that they would not be able to win and would have to take the blame.

Guan Zeyuan said solemnly: "This is definitely a trump card. I have read the information. Khan's Jayce has performed very well both in training games and in ranks. Cat God has to be careful!"

Khan brought out the big one!!
This performance of Jayce was definitely beyond everyone's expectations.

Gu Chen's fans off the court were also worried about him. Even though Khan's performance in the previous two games was not satisfactory, his strength cannot be ignored.

Especially now that he has brought out Jace, he is extremely difficult to deal with.

I have seen Gu Chen’s Jayce before. After countless versions, this hero’s online suppression power is still as strong as ever.

Many people are guessing what hero Gu Chen will bring out? ?
Just like we did before when we played against other teams, we used Fiora to fight Jayce? ?
This is also a good choice.

Gu Chen's Fiora's strength is obvious to all, and SKT has already released her, so she can be taken.

At this time, Maokai asked in the EDG team seat: "Do you want to take it out directly?"

The one he was talking about was naturally Fiora.

After all, Gu Chen's Fiora has experience in dealing with Jayce.

"Let me see……"

To be honest, Gu Chen was also a little surprised by SKT's choice. They actually dared to use a hero with such high performance at this time.

But think about it, Khan is such a conceited player, if he is asked to choose a tank, he will definitely not be willing to do so.

I want to die standing up!!

"Xiao Chen, are you going to take the Sword Lady directly? I feel that you can take it, they have all been released!" The factory manager on the side saw Gu Chen hesitating, and immediately turned his head and said with a smile.

Gu Chen shook his head and said, "The opponent doesn't necessarily have to play Jayce in the top lane. Playing Jayce in the middle lane is also feasible!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

They almost forgot that the hero Jayce is not only for top lane, but also for mid lane, and Faker also has his own skills in playing Jayce.

Maokai: "Indeed, then what about the other routes first?"

Scout: "If it's Jayce in the middle lane, I will just pull the Tsar and develop with him."

His condition was actually not very bad, but facing Faker, he was powerless and there was still some gap in the laning phase.

But as long as he keeps calm, he can still do it.

After these two games, and based on the analysis given to him by the coach in the lounge just now, he is now confident that he can develop well in the middle lane.

"I'll go out first!!"

"Jayce might still be on top. The opponent is wavering, but it doesn't matter. I'll bring out a hero that can fight at will!"

Gu Chen said very confidently.

No one questioned it.

If these words were spoken by anyone else, they would definitely criticize this person for being arrogant.

But when Gu Chen finally said it, it seemed very reasonable.

Gu Chen's hero pool is unfathomable. He has used every warrior hero he has played so far, and he has been able to defeat his opponent, even if the opponent is a top laner like Khan!
"Take Olaf!!"

Gu Chen finally spoke.

The reason why he played Olaf was not for anything else, but to not give the opponent any chance to operate. In three words - mindless and reckless! !
No matter whether the opponent eventually sends out a warrior or a long-hander, he can deal with it.

And if the short hand fights the long hand, if Khan is defeated, his Taoism will definitely be completely broken! !
Mao Kai didn't ask any more questions. After Gu Chen said it, he nodded immediately.

There is no need to question Gu Chen's ability anymore. Even now, Gu Chen's words are much more useful than his coach.

After all, Gu Chen's ability to understand the game is truly top-notch.

Maokai turned his head to the side and asked the factory manager, "What do you mean? How about giving you the second choice?"

The factory manager shook his head: "No hurry, right? I still have a lot of jungle heroes. I think I should let my junior choose first!!"

The scout's ice girl was suppressed, which somewhat surprised them.

Scout himself didn't have many heroes that could fight Faker, so Maokai started asking.

I want to see what Scout can do!! (End of this chapter)
