In the quarter-finals of the 2021 Legends League Global Finals, the LPL peer derby between RNG and EDG finally came to an end. Two LPL veterans and regulars of the Global Finals fought for the sole qualification to reach the semifinals. In the end, EDG played better in the final game, beating RNG 3-2, breaking the spell of the quarterfinals and advancing to the semifinals for the first time in the team's history. Here's a summary of tonight's results.
The first game
In the first game, both sides were against each other
Test. The RNG chose to side with the red, banning their signature card masters and using Lucian Nami, a combination of Ephesus and Titan's rigid EDG. As the half of the Prince field opened, he approached the road several times to put pressure on EDG, and the RNG duo gradually took control of the line. Scout's Marzaha didn't work at all, and RNG, after fattening Erfeilius, rejuvenated the audience with a fast and tight pace, winning the first game with a big advantage.
Second inning
RNG, who scored one point first, paid the price of trial and error, boldly selecting Annie, who did not appear in the global finals for 2204 days, and sent her to the middle. It can be seen that RNG wants to open up the early rhythm by steadily controlling the first hand. But with Olaf's double kill in The Road To The Squat, it all turns into fantasy. EDG has won consecutive major team battles around Jay's Olaf, while RNG is constantly looking for opportunities to grab orders and stop losses. But the pit dug in the early stage was too big, and EDG finally won the victory and equalized.
Third game
RNG re-opted the signs around Lu Xiao Xi'an to protect the lineup, which put a lot of pressure on the men's guns in the early stages. But EDG saved the situation in the other half of the area, firmly grasped the situation, and used the excellent rhythm of the control screen to seize the resources, gradually widening the gap. RNG disadvantage has dropped too many resources, and can only be tried through the big dragon, and Jie Jie Olaf grabbed the big dragon at a critical moment! Next, EDG made many mistakes, but in the end it was Jie Jie who scored twice, grabbed the big dragon to win the team battle, and took a 2-1 lead to get the match point.
Game 4
RNG, which is already on the edge of the cliff, pulled out a big move system in the early stage and began a crazy attack with Nakano as the core. EDG tried everything it could, but didn't make it, and was defeated by RNG on the way down the hill and suddenly fell into a huge disadvantage. Since then, RNG hasn't given EDG any other chance, so he seized his advantage and continued to frantically launch the group stage. EDG was beaten by RNG by a big score. The two sides scored 2:2 and entered the final decider, Tenno Mountain.
Fifth game
In the decider, EDG chose BAN to take away RNG's unique stunt Annie, suppress the ability of RNG Nakano's vanguard, and once again launched a fierce confrontation around the downhill road. At this time, Jin Youmei's strong protective ability was highlighted. RNG is killed by the EDG limit in a wave of downhill chaos, and the rhythm collapses into a huge disadvantage. EDG quickly snowballed, but RNG tried its best to resist, but did not find the opportunity. In the end, the output of the endless male gun in front of the front of the front tooth tower was amazing, leading EDG to the decider in one fell swoop, beating RNG 3-2 to advance to the semifinals!
That's all there is to it for the 2021 Legends World Final Quarterfinals EDG vs RNG. Congratulations to the EDG team for winning the final victory 3:2, breaking through their best result in the history of the global finals and advancing to the semifinals! As the number one seeds in the LPL, they have proven themselves to be the best team in the LPL, and they have finally escaped the spell of five Global Finals quarterfinals. RNG is also fighting to the end with all its might, and hopes that EDG will continue to move forward with their hopes and the hopes of the entire LPL, challenging to the highest honor!
