With the end of the game between WE and SKT, the schedule for the semi-finals was officially announced.

RNGvsEDG,SKTvsSSG.

The good news is that the LCK division is going to have a civil war, and the bad news is that the LPL division is also going to have a civil war.

In this case, all four teams are embarrassed.

It doesn't matter if you lose in the semifinals. The most uncomfortable thing is to win the semifinals and then lose in the finals.

The runner-up is the biggest loser.

This is definitely a true portrayal of the current situation.

The audience will never accept that a team beats a team from the same division and then loses to a team from another division.

There will be an unlucky guy among these four teams who will be wildly criticized by netizens after the World Championship.

…

After the list of the top four was released, analysts from each major competition area began to study the probability of these teams qualifying.

There are various opinions on the Internet. Before the group stage, basically no one thought that SSG would win the championship. But after the quarterfinals, SSG suddenly became the number one seed in the eyes of most people.

In addition to SSG, netizens believe that SKT has the greatest chance of winning.

After all, in the summer split, SKT was able to beat SSG in all aspects.

As for EDG and RNG.

Most people now think that LCK is the first division, and the two LPL teams are naturally ranked behind by netizens.

"In the EDG team, the substitute jungler has S-level strength, but it is undeniable that other players have flaws."

"Mouse is a top laner with no shortcomings, but he also has no advantages. Although the iboy player maintains the momentum of a newcomer, he lacks game experience and often makes mistakes."

"The teams that meet EDG next can focus on these two aspects."

…

This is the evaluation of EDG by a well-known European analyst, which is why he believes that EDG has little chance of competing for the championship in this world championship.

Looking at the previous world championship teams, there are basically no flaws in the team. However, in the last few games, EDG's performance in the bottom lane is indeed unsatisfactory, and in everyone's perception, the most important thing about the S7 version is

Bottom lane.

"You actually say that I am the breakthrough, I can't accept it!"

After seeing the analysis on the Internet, iboy, who was playing in a training match, instantly became furious.

"Isn't it true? If Xiao Mo hadn't targeted the bottom lane in the last game, you would have been defeated by your opponent during the laning phase."

Nofe complained next to him.

At this stage of the competition, in order not to be studied by their opponents, the top four teams basically do not play training matches with each other. In addition, the eliminated teams have already gone home for the holidays, so it is difficult to schedule training matches.

However, EDG still has some connections in the LPL. Under the arrangement of Coach Abramovich, they invited IG to play a training match today.

Although he won the first training game, it was because Chen Mo played very well in this game. The bot lane combination did not have an advantage in the early game, but was suppressed by IG bot lane.

Hearing the coach's complaints, iboy didn't know what to say.

"The ADC on the opposite side is really powerful!"

The ADC on IG in this training match was not West, but the newcomer Jackeylove. When he faced him, iboy failed to win.

"Jake loves it!"

Seeing the familiar ID, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.

At this stage, Jackeylove has been discovered by IG, but because he is not young enough, he cannot play in games at this time and can only play in training games.

In fact, this is also the reason why IG agreed to play training matches with EDG.

Jackeylove is their key training target. Playing training matches with teams that advance to the World Championship can also increase their competition experience.

"Several other teams should know that the bottom lane is our shortcoming, and they will definitely target it, especially RNG. They are a team with the core of the bottom lane. In the semi-finals, the bottom lane will be very difficult to defeat..."

Taking advantage of the break in training matches, coach Nofe said worriedly.

He is not only worried about the bottom lane, but also worried that the jungler will be kidnapped due to the disadvantage of the bottom lane, which will affect Chen Mo's rhythm.

Due to his outstanding performance in this World Championship, Nofe gradually regarded Chen Mo as the core of his tactics.

In the past, when formulating strategies before the game, I thought more about how the jungler could cooperate with the bot lane, but now I think more about how the bot lane would not affect the jungler.

"Actually, I can get the anti-stress hero."

iboy said aggrievedly.

As a newcomer, although there is a gap between him and other teams' ADCs, at least he has a clear understanding of himself.

Hearing this, Nofe nodded slightly.

This could be considered a method. He wrote down the two heroes Sivir and Xayah in his notebook.

As long as nothing happens in the bottom lane, it's not impossible to sacrifice some damage.

In addition to the bottom lane, EDG also has a problem -

Can't I get to the factory director level in RNG?

Chen Mo has indeed performed well in recent games, but the factory manager has a glorious history against RNG, and he is more suitable to target the bottom lane, which RNG considers to be the core.

"I respect the coach's choice."

When Nofe talked about this issue, the factory director said seriously.

Facing RNG, he is full of confidence.

But Chen Mo's recent form is indeed very good, and he himself believes that he has a higher winning rate against Chen Mo than against himself.

"Let's do what we did before. Qi-chan goes first. If he can't fight well, let him get out."

Chen Mo said with a smile.

Coach Nofe thought for a while and finally agreed with Chen Mo.

…

In the following period, everyone at EDG’s schedule became regular.

Go to bed very early at night, get up early in the morning to exercise, rank yourself in the morning, and schedule a training match in the afternoon.

The semi-finals will be held in the afternoon, and playing training games in the afternoon can help players form a habit.

Not only can they play training games with IG, the two brother teams on Lingshi Road also said that during this period, they will have time to play training games with EDG at any time.

In this tense atmosphere, the semifinals came as scheduled.

The semi-finals were held in Shanghai, not very far from Lingshi Road, but even so, everyone in EDG went to the competition site in advance after lunch.

Surprisingly, even though they arrived at the venue very early, when everyone from EDG arrived, the auditorium was already full of spectators.

"Tsk tsk, the fans are so enthusiastic!"

Feeling the noisy atmosphere in the venue, iboy couldn't help but be speechless.

Looking around, they are all domestic audiences. Interestingly, the LPL summer finals are also held here by EDG and RNG.

When entering the lounge, RNG players happened to come over, and the players from the two teams immediately began to communicate "friendly".

"Puppy, be careful, I'm going to grab the bottom lane in this game!"

Chen Mo shouted with a smile.

"Am I afraid of you?"

Uzi's heart skipped a beat. Although he was a little panicked, he pretended to be calm on the surface: "Catch me as you please, see if I can kill you!"

"Be careful in your wild area."

The incense pot next to it also started to say harsh words: "When I brush your F6, I will definitely leave a small one for you."

"Come on, come into my wild area. If you don't, you'll be my **."

Chen Mo continued to provoke.

The factory manager next to him was speechless: "I will play in the first game."

"nonsense."

Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "If you weren't on the stage, how dare I scream so fiercely?"

Off the stage, the double reverse players had a "friendly" exchange, and on the big screen, the director just played the pre-match declarations of the two teams.

What's interesting is that the two teams were at war with each other off the stage, but their pre-match declarations were surprisingly harmonious.

"Uzi is very strong in the lane. I may not be his opponent, but my jungler is very good."

"Playing against Scout will put a lot of pressure on me."

"Silence is a world-class jungler in my mind, and of course, so am I."

"The factory director is my idol."
