Chapter 391 Secret Weapon! Top Lane Urgot!

As TheShy pressed the R key again, the chains began to retract, pulling Aatrox to his side.

Of course, the Sword Demon was in a state of great destruction and could not be killed directly.

However, he was still beaten into a 'floating corpse' state and could only slowly crawl towards the defensive tower, but the crab followed him and did not give him a chance to escape at all!
"Wow... With no one coming to help, it will be incredibly difficult for Sword Demon to escape. Can anyone tell me how strong the crab is in a fight?"

Miller also seemed surprised.

It wasn't just that Flandre didn't know much about crabs; the commentators and viewers were equally baffled.

As Aatrox got up again and tried to use Flash to create distance, Urgot hit him again with Q and slowed him down.

The Sword Demon could only watch helplessly as the crab slowly eroded his remaining health until it reached zero!
Firstblood!

Single kill!

"Solo kill! TheShy opens the scoring for his team!"

Wawa couldn't help but praise loudly, "This trump card, the crab, gave the team an advantage. TheShy didn't let his teammates down!"

"The main thing is that the crab seems to be quite effective against the Sword Demon..."

Wang Ji nodded, "Is the Sword Demon's ultimate skill a hard counter to the Crab's ultimate skill?"

Wang Yao couldn't help but sigh. He had great faith in Flandre, but in this game, Flandre couldn't withstand the pressure from the opponent.

But we can't blame him.

The significance of this "black technology" lies in its ability to catch players completely off guard, allowing them to steal a win using a hero they know nothing about.

Before he could come up with a solution...

Another piece of bad news came from the top lane. Flandre kept apologizing, "My bad, I didn't notice that the enemy switched to Ignite."

Wang Yao then noticed that TheShy's rune for this game was actually [Unsealed Secrets].

He probably replaced his Flash or Teleport, which were still on cooldown, with Ignite to increase his damage output in duels, and also to make Flandre underestimate his health.

The series of bad news has made things difficult for EDG.

When it came to the crucial Rift Herald team fight, the top laner's disadvantage still affected the entire team.

The perfect team fight initiation by Gragas and Alistar allowed Wang Yao's Yasuo to successfully dive into the backline. Furthermore, Wang Yao used Wind Wall to perfectly block Syndra's E-R combo, preventing Syndra from unleashing her AOE crowd control.

Even with such a perfect initiation, EDG still lost the team fight!

Ning's Xin Zhao used his R-flash to cut through the formation, and the crab had too much of an advantage in this kind of melee combat. On the other hand, Wang Yao's Yasuo did not have enough damage output at the moment and did not have the ability to roam freely in team fights.

Although he escaped safely, his teammates were left behind.

1 for 3.

Wang Yao replaced Syndra, but his teammates behind him were killed one after another, losing the team fight and the Rift Herald.

EDG is just like IG in the first game. After losing this crucial team fight, it seems like they have completely lost control of the game's rhythm.

With EDG losing another team fight at Baron Nashor, IG successfully tied the score.

The score is now tied 1-1!
"Let's congratulate IG on successfully winning a game! Wow! TheShy showed his dominance in the top lane in this game. He completely crushed Flandre, the top laner I thought was the best at withstanding pressure!"

"Yes."

Miller nodded in agreement, "This game was purely due to the huge gap in the top lane, which caused EDG to keep losing team fights afterward." "However, I don't think EDG fans need to worry too much. It's not that Flandre's ability is that much different from TheShy's, it's mainly because he doesn't understand Urgot."

“EDG could have easily banned Urgot, so Flandre wouldn’t have had to lane against an unfamiliar Urgot.”

Miller's thinking was very simple.

If we can't deal with this hero, then we should just ban him.

However, he overlooked one point: EDG's ban slots are currently somewhat tight.

Rakan and Tahm Kench are definitely going to be banned, especially Rakan, who must be banned specifically in the first round.

And if Irelia is banned, Jayce is also banned.

These two heroes are versatile enough for both TheShy and Song Yijin to pick and perform well with them.

There's no extra space left to target them.

This is also a huge problem facing Mokai.

"Should we release Irelia or Jayce?" Maokai was having a headache.

Both of these heroes are very strong in lane, and releasing either of them could trigger a chain reaction.

"Is it possible that we let Jayce through and continue banning Irelia? Then we can pick Jayce instead of Aatrox," Wang Yao suggested.

Jayce is a champion that Flandre can play, and so can King Yao.

Moreover, Jayce is a counter to Aatrox in lane. A Jayce player who knows a little about kiting can easily outmaneuver the clumsy Aatrox.

Aatrox is nothing but a toy in front of Jayce!
Maokai pondered for a moment, "That works too, but if we get Jayce, we'll have to get Bomber afterwards."

"No need. Who says you have to play a poke composition just because you get Jayce? We can just use Jayce as a normal top laner."

Wang Yao discovered that Mao Kai often had a rigid way of thinking.

Once he gets certain heroes, he subconsciously wants to build a complete system around those heroes.

But is a system really necessary?

IG doesn't need a system; they simply pursue breaking through defenses from a single point!
If you can gain an advantage in the laning phase, you can even pick a completely unrelated hero.

But that's precisely the charm of this version!
Mao Kai was enlightened!

He immediately agreed with Wang Yao's statement, "Okay! Let's follow this idea in the next game!"

"It's clear that both sides are quite satisfied with the current situation. EDG took the lead, but IG quickly won a game back, making it 1-1. Both sides still have a chance to win the championship!"

Miller said with a smile, "This may be a bit cruel to the fans of both sides, but from another perspective, it's good news for our LPL region."

"EDG is recognized as a strong team in our LPL region. They swept through Korean teams in MSI and Rift Rivals."

"But now IG can fight them back and forth, and even suppress EDG on the field. This means that we have two teams as strong as EDG! We also have a great chance to win at this year's World Championship!"

Following the Summer Finals, the highly anticipated World Championship will immediately follow, which is also an unavoidable topic.

Last year, EDG won the championship at the Bird's Nest, fulfilling the wishes of countless viewers.

But the audience wasn't satisfied with that. Once they had one champion, they wanted two, and after two they wanted three, and the contestants couldn't afford to lose.
