LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 390 Death is like the wind, always by my side!

"I'll only say one thing! There has only ever been one god in the AD carry position, and that is me, God K!"

"Does 'K God' refer to my Crystal brother Krystal?"

"..."

As Wang Yao's successor in the AD position, it's inevitable that Yu Wenbo will be compared to him by IG fans.

He did a really good job, and he really gave IG hope of winning the championship again.

But every time he faced Wang Yao, he was thwarted, which inevitably gave others ammunition to criticize him!
"Hahaha, Yao-ge, you didn't see it. Yu Wenbo's expression is like he's eaten shit and is in a terrible state," iboy laughed gleefully.

In the previous game, his Kai'Sa performance was absolutely perfect.

He racked up an impressive 11 kills and 5 assists with zero deaths, while the Ziggs player he was matched up against had a much more dismal stat line, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was completely outplayed.

“After all, JKL is going down the bot lane with Lan Ge, so he has to train with extra weight.” Wang Yao smiled.

EDG's biggest strategy for the bot lane during the draft phase was to ban Rakan and Tahm Kench.

Rakan is Baolan's most proficient and best-performing support champion. When Baolan picks Rakan, he can indeed demonstrate world champion-level support skills.

But if Rakan is banned, Baolan will create some hilarious scenes on the field.

As for Tahm Kench? It was a targeted ban against Baolan and Yu Wenbo.

Yu Wenbo is aggressive in team fights, and Tahm Kench can provide him with a margin for error.

Moreover, Tahm Kench doesn't require too much complex thinking or operation; you just need to think about how to protect your teammates, which indirectly reduces Baolan's burden.

Such a hero cannot be given to the opposing team.

On the other hand, IG was also chatting and laughing, and the IG players were mainly focused on having a good mindset.

Even Yu Wenbo, who was being targeted particularly badly, could still speak with a smile at this time.

"EDG is still strong, damn it, beating them will be very difficult!"

"Damn it, Jack, you should have handled the pressure better. Didn't we win the last game? If the Renekton hadn't been so fed during the Rift Herald, and we had just killed him, we wouldn't have ended up in such a mess later."

Prince Ning continued to complain.

"Is it my fault?" Yu Wenbo rolled his eyes. "You should at least come help out in the bottom lane. It's tiring for me to carry Lan Ge under pressure."

"Alright, alright, I'll find a chance to help you guys in the next round," Prince Ning replied perfunctorily.

He refused to go to the bottom lane, partly because he thought Baolan was bad and it was particularly difficult to coordinate with him.

Secondly, he doesn't really want to step out of his comfort zone. He can easily gain an advantage by relying on TheShy's strong individual dominance in the top lane, so why should he suffer in the bottom lane?

Kim Jung-joo then stepped forward, saying, "We did a good job with the bottom lane in the last game, but the main problem was that we didn't accumulate enough advantages."

A few words of comfort made Yu Wenbo feel much better.

"In the second game, we need to make proactive changes and also bring out something new."

Both sides returned to the stage. In this game, EDG had the initiative to choose sides, and EDG chose the blue side.

“EDG and IG made completely different choices. They chose the blue side, while IG chose the red side!” Miller smiled. “We’ll have to see how it goes.”

EDG opted to ban Rakan, Jayce, and Irelia, while IG banned Akali, Taliyah, and Camille.

"It's understandable that Aatrox has been released again, as his laning ability is still a bit lacking compared to champions like Irelia and Akali."

indeed.

Although Aatrox is a very overpowered champion, he is not specifically targeted for banning because his stats are not that outrageous, and his laning ability is also a bit weak.

For many teams, this can be addressed.

Unlike Akali, an overpowered monster with both high stats and mechanics, there's no way to counter her. IG proactively sought change, choosing a strong mid-jungle duo of Xin Zhao and Ryze.

EDG, on the other hand, took the initiative to choose the Ziggs + Alistar bot lane combination, but then IG took the lead by picking Syndra in the 3rd pick, which undoubtedly caught EDG off guard.

Syndra is good against Ziggs in lane, and Wang Yao, knowing that Yu Wenbo is good at Syndra, also reminded Maokai.

Maokai originally planned to ban this hero in the second round of the draft, but IG unexpectedly picked it ahead of time.

That wasn't the end of it; EDG subsequently selected a mid-jungle duo of Gragas and Yasuo.

When the line "Death is like the wind, always by my side" was uttered, the audience below erupted in cheers and jubilation. This was the summer final they had been waiting for!

But IG surprisingly picked Urgot, a champion they hadn't played in a long time.

The lineups for both sides were finally finalized.

Blue side EDG, top lane Aatrox, jungle Gragas, mid lane Yasuo, bot lane Ziggs + Alistar.

The red team, IG, has a top laner (Uranus), a jungler (Xin Zhao), a mid laner (Ryze), and a bot lane duo of Syndra and Morgana.

"The current lineups are getting more and more incomprehensible. It seems like neither side has a single marksman left."

"But this lineup's team fights will definitely be very exciting."

Maokai had Wang Yao pick Yasuo to supplement the team's physical damage, and also paired him with Alistar and Gragas to provide enough knock-up.

However, the course of the competition was not as simple as Maokai had imagined.

First, let's talk about the bottom lane...

Syndra completely outclasses Ziggs, and then there's Morgana support helping to push the lane.

EDG's bot lane was constantly pressured under the turret, and they lost lane control right from the start.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Saint Gun Bro is also in big trouble!

The champion Crab was reworked a long time ago, but for a long period after the rework, no one paid attention to him. People had no concept of this champion and didn't know much about him.

Saint Gun Bro had absolutely no idea about this hero's laning skills or kill threshold.

Completely bewildered, facing TheShy who had planned ahead was clearly like throwing an egg against a rock!
He was truly tortured to death.

Crab, this B-rank hero, is not only disgusting in appearance, but his playstyle is also disgusting to the extreme.

A basic attack range of 350 yards is practically negligible among marksmen.

In a lane where most players have short range, this character is practically a supermodel monster, able to largely compensate for their own clumsy nature.

Moreover, TheShy is very good at kiting, using his 350-yard range advantage to make Flandre feel like he was in heaven.

Crabs have more than just an advantage in range.

With 63 base attack damage and 39 base armor, this terrifying damage output is comparable to Darius, the famous "stat-hungry" top laner. Urgot only has 1 less attack damage, and their armor is exactly the same.

In other words, this hero's stats are beyond what Flandre imagined.

Aatrox's range is shorter than Urgot's, and he's not as tanky. The damage Aatrox can deal to Urgot's health by using his Q skill in lane is less than the percentage damage Urgot deals with his passive.

The first solo kill of the match also came from the top lane!
After reaching level 6, the crab unexpectedly used its E-flash to force the Aatrox to fight it.

Saint Gunner never expected the crab to be so unreasonable. It wasn't until the crab used its E ability to "disdain" him and carried him behind its back that Aatrox was forced to activate his ultimate to fight back.

The crab then activated its W ability and circled around the Aatrox to continuously trigger its passive damage.

Furthermore, in close combat, the crab unleashed its ultimate skill, "Fear Beyond Death," firing a thick chain from its body that struck the sword demon!

The crab landed another precise Q, "Corrosive Charge," reducing the Aatrox's health to less than a quarter, which is also the crab's kill threshold!
