Introduction: The S15 season matches have officially started, and most players have been following the recent competitions closely. The LPL region is currently in a heated playoff phase. After the first round, BLG and IG teams easily advanced to the next stage, where they will face each other in a BO5 series. The match between IG and EDG was particularly exciting, with a clean 3-0 sweep sparking widespread discussion online. In the final game, Rookie's Ezreal play made many players burst out laughing, delivering several memorable moments: casting a yellow card on the tower, instantly switching to red card for damage, and flashing while standing still after a yellow card.

Rookie's Three Iconic Ezreal Moments

Most fans are quite invested in the LPL playoffs. Over the past few years, LPL has grown rapidly overall, but its results have been average, having not won a world championship for many years. This season, to maximize excitement, the organizers helped IG restructure their roster by acquiring several top-tier pros, bringing the team back to its peak. They finished the third stage in second place during the regular season. In the playoffs, IG faced EDG in the first round with no pressure, sweeping them 3-0 in the BO5 series without giving EDG any chance.

In the first game, both teams played cautiously, probing each other in the early 15 minutes with some exchanges. EDG’s bottom lane made a tower dive resulting in a one-for-three trade. At the 21st minute, IG executed a perfect team fight, with Udyr securing a three-for-four exchange. Gala’s low-health Kai'Sa managed to outplay three enemies, killing two. From then on, IG fully controlled the pace and won the game comfortably at 34 minutes. The second game also saw IG controlling the early tempo. At 19 minutes, a dragon team fight erupted where TheShy’s Aatrox exploded instantly, helping IG achieve a zero-for-five team wipe. This game ended faster at 30 minutes.

The funniest moments happened in the third game, where IG seemed to be practicing heroes. Rookie picked Ezreal mid, and the jungler chose Zed. Rookie created three classic highlights that perfectly showcased Ezreal’s quirks. Initially, they tried to coordinate a tower dive on the enemy Renekton in the bot lane with TheShy, but after the yellow card was cast on the tower, it absorbed the damage. Both players were desperately trying to execute, but Rookie’s second card instantly switched to red card. Any yellow card hitting Renekton would have surely killed him. Then, in the final team fight on the top lane, IG had a massive advantage. Ezreal attempted to use the Rapid Firecannon and Flash with a yellow card on the enemy, but ended up standing still, frozen in place after flashing.

IG’s overall performance in this match was quite stable. Except for Rookie’s comedic moments, the other players performed excellently. Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming BO5 between IG and BLG. IG has already defeated BLG in the previous two rounds, and if they win again, BLG might find it impossible to come back. Moreover, BLG’s form in the first round was very unstable. Although they managed a comeback from 0-2 to 3-2, losing the first two games clearly showed serious coordination issues.

Farewell Thoughts

This time Rookie didn’t turn into a "roast chicken," but the team chat was probably full of teasing and jokes. The bot lane play was definitely a mistake: yellow card on the tower and red card on Master Yi had the analysts sweating. Honestly, EDG definitely had a chance to win the third game, but Udyr’s sloppy team fight decision cost them. If they had won that fight, IG might have been forced into a fourth match, giving us more to watch.
