You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 575 The Slogan Battle! No wonder they come from a background of skirting the edges; they certainly know how to shout!
We've moved on to the second round of draft picks.

TES banned Pantheon and Ryze.

FPX banned Renekton and Qiyana.

"TES still banned Pantheon. It's one of Doinb's signature moves, and other mid-laners basically don't play it!" Remember said.

"Moreover, the version for the Summer Split finals is 9.15, which is the old Pantheon. The new Pantheon won't be available until the next version, 9.16!" Guan Zeyuan added.

"Then FPX banned Renekton. Renekton is a champion that can be played in the mid or top lane, which definitely adds a lot of flexibility to the draft!"

"Furthermore, Zhou Shen's crocodile, to be fair, his lane dominance is indeed a bit too strong!"

Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's words, Cat Emperor immediately blurted out, "Isn't it Doinb's Yasuo too?"

Fortunately, Cat Emperor managed to swallow the word "bad" in time, otherwise he would have been attacked by Doinb's fans.

It can only be said that, as a professional player who has only recently retired, Cat Emperor's understanding of the game is still much better than that of Guan Zeyuan, a Diamond player who duo queues to climb the ranks.

If Yasuo is playing against Renekton in the mid lane, as long as Yasuo is good enough, no matter how strong Renekton is, Yasuo can still farm and level up.

Doinb played Yasuo so badly in the last game, he was really bad!
"FPX banned Qiyana as their last pick, so TES will most likely have to pick Aatrox!"

As soon as he finished speaking, TES revealed Aatrox on the fourth floor of the red team.

It was then locked.

"Even without the crocodile, Aatrox is still a very good champion that can be played in the mid or top lane!" Remember said.

"But Knight's mid-lane Aatrox seems a bit of a pity!" Cat Emperor added. "I feel that TES's Aatrox pick is unlikely to be a flex pick; it's more likely to be a top-lane pick!"

Just as I was about to say something, Cat Emperor added, "As for having Zhou Shen play Aatrox in the mid lane like in the last game, I don't think that would work either!"

"You could tell from the last game that Knight clearly can't play top lane; he doesn't know how to play top lane!"

Actually, this is what I was going to say earlier.

As it turned out, Cat King had anticipated this and retorted beforehand.

I remember it being incredibly painful!
“But if we pick Sword Demon first, there’s a high chance that Zhou Shen won’t have a counter pick!” Guan Zeyuan said.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If TES doesn't pick Aatrox, they'll just be giving him to FPX for free!" Remember said. "It feels like FPX's draft strategy is also to avoid giving Zhou Shen a counter pick!"

It was FPX's turn to select players for their two solo lanes.

The heroes on the fourth and fifth floors of the blue team have yet to be announced.

"Actually, I really want to see GimGoon pick Kled against Aatrox!" Remember said, "because this matchup has happened many times in European and American leagues, whether it's 9.15 or 9.16!"

"Yes, mainly because Kled has reduced treatment!"

At this moment, FPX locked in Gnar on the fourth floor of the blue side.

"Well, then we won't be able to see Kled!" Guan Zeyuan said with a hint of regret.

Immediately afterwards, FPX locked in Karma on the fifth floor of the blue side.

Seeing Karma, Knight immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, Aatrox definitely won't give him the mid lane.

He lacks the confidence to play mid-lane Aatrox.

At this moment, White Crescent also said, "The enemy mid laner is Karma, Knight, you take the counter pick, what champion do you want to pick to counter Karma?"

White Crescent was originally wondering if Sword Demon could make a move.

After all, giving the tenth floor's special spot to Zhou Dian would definitely allow him to play a greater role.

"Zoe! Get me Zoe!" Knight said confidently after hearing the head coach's question.

“Okay, let’s get Zoe!” White Crescent immediately said to support Ben.

He still trusts Knight's Zoe.

At this moment, in the commentary booth.

"Coin's signature champion is Karma in the mid lane. What can Knight use to counter that?"

It was originally a very normal sentence.

But coming from Cat King's mouth, it always feels like the word "slacker" is in the middle of this "signature hero".

Doinb's signature "troll" champion – Karma. Soon after, TES locked in Zoe on the fifth floor of the red side.

"Zoe!"

"In that case, TES will have a stronger mid-jungle matchup!"

"TES' lineup is actually more proactive compared to the last game!"

"However, both sides have a double AP mid-jungle combination in this game, so it will be quite difficult for the mid-jungle players on both sides to get kills!"

"Go home and get Mercury's Treads, and you'll basically be immune to death!" Cat King said.

"I feel like the Spider will still help Zhou's lane in this game, so TES's bot lane might be under more pressure. FPX will definitely try to gank TES's bot lane 4-on-2 in this game!" Remember added.

"Both sides have support heroes, one is Nautilus and the other is Alistar. To put it simply, it boils down to four words—jungler, come quick!"

"Actually, FPX also wanted to use a 4v2 gank in the last game, but the Yasuo in the mid lane was paralyzed from the start, constantly switching between mid and top lanes to escape!"

The Cat Emperor's statement makes sense.

In the previous game, Zhou Dian switched to the mid lane and crushed Doinb. More importantly, he directly broke FPX's strongest bot lane gank strategy.

However, in this game, Doinb pulled out his signature Karma.

No matter which lane—top, mid, or bottom—no hero can crush Karma!
If Doinb wants to roam in this game, he definitely will be able to.

However, Zoe's roaming ability is equally strong, so it remains to be seen how Knight will deal with her.

On the large screen at the venue, the selection process was complete, and the final minute of the countdown had begun.

Both players quickly switched heroes and adjusted their runes.

Both head coaches were also making their final decisions.

The camera focused on the center of the stage.

The white crescent moon and the warhorse are walking towards each other.

The two stood in the center of the stage, shook hands, and then walked together into the contestants' tunnel.

Judging from their expressions, both head coaches seemed quite satisfied with their draft picks for this game.

Now that the draft picks are satisfactory, how the game turns out depends on the individual players' performance on the day.

After both head coaches stepped down, the game entered the loading screen.

Blue square FPX:

Top lane Gnar, jungle Gragas, mid lane Karma, bot lane Kai'Sa and Alistar.

Red Team TES:

Top lane: Aatrox; Jungle: Elise; Mid lane: Zoe; Bot lane: Ezreal and Nautilus.

As the entire Summoner's Rift appeared on the big screen at the event.

The ten heroes on both sides also landed in the fountains at both ends of Summoner's Rift.

A slightly chaotic chorus of cheers began to rise from the crowd.

Overall, the chants of "Go TES!" were definitely louder.

However, a scream from "Fangpus" rang out from the crowd, exceptionally penetrating and clearly audible even in the noisy environment.

The scream came from Doinb's wife, Sugar U.

All I can say is that the family members were very supportive.

No wonder they came from a background in borderline commerce, they really know how to make noise!

Of course, in such a large venue, there were more than just this one that was loud and recognizable in the crowd.

There was also a loud-voiced boy who kept shouting "Old Godfather".

In the world of slogans, "LGD" is almost on par with "TSM".

In the LPL, nowadays, no matter who is playing against whom, there are basically people at the stadium chanting "LGD" (a popular Chinese internet slang term for LGD).
