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

Chapter 530 I'll make your dreams come true with my own hands! The Blind Monk is here!
However, EDG remained calm and continued to maintain their own tactics.

After the heroes for the bottom lane were decided on the second and third floors, the top and jungle duo were placed in the second round of selection.

Lux, the Lady of Luminosity!
Sivir, the goddess of war!
Since the previous method was so effective, we should keep using it.

Lux is a champion that Meiko is comfortable using. He has been using Lux almost exclusively since the Intercontinental Cup, so there's no reason not to pick her!

DWG then picked Camille for Nuguri on the third floor.

The DWG coaching staff unanimously agreed that Nuguri played Camille well in the previous game and could continue to pick it.

At this point, the lineups for both sides have been largely finalized.

Then came the second round of bans and picks.

Both sides conducted their draft picks based on their pre-match tactical plans.

EDG continued to target the bottom lane, banning Yuumi.

The only support that can lane against Lux in this version has had Varus banned, denying Nuclear a chance to shine.

DWG continued to ban Xin Zhao and Rek'Sai, determined not to give Wang Yao any meta junglers.

Five bans on junglers!

EDG then gave Sion to Flandre in the top lane.

In the last game, Flandre's Kennen played against Camille. Although he didn't die in lane, he also did quite well in team fights.

However, he was ultimately pressured a lot in lane. If Wang Yao's Graves hadn't had such a good rhythm, his top lane might have really become the weak point.

So in this game, we'll give him Sion. Don't underestimate Sion just because he's clumsy; he's not afraid of Camille in the early to mid-game thanks to his high skill values.

Now it's DWG's turn to be caught in an endless dilemma.

Although they felt they had gotten a decent lineup in the first three picks, securing the lineup they wanted.

DWG is that kind of team, focusing on the mid, top, and jungle.

The ADC in the bottom lane has always been overlooked, and in this game's draft, the focus was again on the mid, top, and jungle.

Let the top, mid, and jungle pick their heroes first, but there's no good combination for the bottom lane.

There are only two support champions in this version, Yuumi and Lux, but Yuumi was banned and Lux ​​was picked by Meiko.

However, Tahm Kench, the most suitable hard support for the LCK region, was banned in the first round.

The remaining tank supports like Titan and Alistar are at a disadvantage in lane against Lux.

The same applies to ADCs; Ezreal, Xayah, and Caitlyn are all outside the roster, but they don't fit well with EDG's lineup.

DWG has confirmed Camille for top lane, Jarvan IV for jungle, and Galio for mid lane, forming a complete and unstoppable lineup.

All that's missing is a Kai'Sa and a Nautilus to coordinate with the mid, top, and jungle to charge into the enemy formation.

However, this version of Kai'Sa is too late-game strong, and DWG is afraid of getting crushed in lane.

DWG is a team that focuses on the mid, top, and jungle, and will not emphasize the bottom lane.

Whether nuclear reactors can withstand the pressure remains a big question mark.

With time ticking away and only one second left in the countdown, DWG could only secure one Titan.

Give the support player BeryL a champion, leaving the last counter pick for the ADC.

After a moment's thought, they finally decided to pick Kai'Sa as their last pick.

The complete, unrestricted combination of these lineups is also the most proficient lineup in the LPL region!
Finally, EDG's fifth floor has not yet been selected.

"Oh? EDG gave the fifth pick to their own jungler. It seems they trust Yao a lot!"

"Yes! After so many matches, the opposing LCK team has taken Kshine very seriously."

"They even banned five junglers in this game! They still want to gain an advantage through the mid and jungle positions."

"But this is Kshine! I'm really looking forward to seeing what hero he'll choose this game!"

Miller nodded and said optimistically.

At this moment, on the competition stage.

"What did Lao Wang say? Which hero do you want to play?"

Coach Maokai, standing beside him, asked, "Right now, the jungle champions we can pick are Sejuani and Gragas, but there don't seem to be any other good meta champions."

"Coach, give me Lee Sin."

Wang Yao said decisively.

In the current version, Sejuani is indeed a good choice.

You might be at a slight disadvantage in the early game, but once team fights start, this hero's utility becomes apparent.

With stable crowd control and decent tankiness, he is definitely the most reliable hero in team fights.

but.

If Wang Yao picks Sejuani in this game, EDG's overall lineup will seem to lack damage output.

Moreover, they placed the entire responsibility for controlling the tempo on the bottom lane.

This makes me a little uneasy.

The next second, a hero was revealed on the fifth floor of EDG.

Then it locks instantly!

"I will make your dreams come true with my own hands!"

"Blind Monk?!"

"Wow!!"

The moment the audience saw EDG lock in Lee Sin on the fifth floor, they erupted in cheers.

"Oh? EDG's last pick is Lee Sin! Kshine's Lee Sin."

"We don't think we've ever seen him pull it out before. I'm sure everyone is really looking forward to Wang Yao's Lee Sin!"

"Locked in! Lee Sin is really locked in! Kshine got Lee Sin in the last game of the 2019 Rift Rivals Finals!"

The baby shouted.

When DWG saw that Wang Yao had locked onto the Blind Man, they immediately felt a little panicked.

They had seen Wang Yao play other jungle heroes, but they had never actually played Lee Sin before.

Before the match, the lineup had been finalized with the help of the coaching staff of other teams, but now they were not confident.

DWG drafted a perfect teamfight composition, but they still seemed a bit hesitant.

I have a feeling Wang Yao's blind man is going to pull off a big surprise!

At this point, both teams' lineups are finalized.

The red team, EDG, has Sion in the top lane, Lee Sin in the jungle, Karma in the mid lane, and Sivir and Lux ​​in the bot lane.

DWG (blue side) has Camille in the top lane, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Galio in the mid lane, and Kai'Sa and Nautilus in the bot lane!

After EDG selected this lineup, the audience at the scene immediately went wild.

"Here it comes! Yao-ge's Blind Man is finally here! I've been waiting for a whole season. I thought Wang Yao couldn't play Blind Man! Haha."

"Just kidding, of course my brother Yao's Blind Monk is reserved for the most crucial games, like now. Normally, I'll just play Sejuani and Gragas with you guys. (doge) (doge)"

"But there's always something strange about EDG's lineup. Karma paired with Lee Sin in the mid lane?"

"To be honest, I don't even know how we're going to win with this lineup, okay? The opponent's lineup is too good."

"This is hilarious! Top lane Camille, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane Galio, ADC Kai'Sa, support Nautilus—if I hadn't seen the team names, I would have thought RNG was here for the match! (laughing and crying)"

"Do you even know how valuable Yao-ge's skills are? This round is all about Yao-ge's performance!"

"I have a feeling this game will be full of unexpected moments. (Looking forward to it!) (Looking forward to it!)"

"..."

Some viewers in the live stream were skeptical, but the majority were offering encouragement and support.

Because within the established mindset of the LPL region, DWG's draft picks were considered too much in line with the LPL's draft and ban (BP) style.

The ultimate form that can do whatever it wants!

"It's clear that EDG still trusts Yao, and the focus of this match is still on Lee Sin."

"In that case, the blind man must set the pace in the early to mid-game."

The doll gave a very objective analysis.

"With their lineup, it's not easy to catch them in the mid and bottom lanes; they lack strong crowd control."

"EDG's lineup actually tests their operational capabilities a lot. They rely on Karma's lane priority in the mid lane and Lee Sin's abilities to quickly establish an advantage in the early and mid-game."

"On the other hand, DWG's lineup, the Galio-Jarvan IV-Camille system, is all too familiar to us in the LPL."

"But precisely because they are so familiar with each other, EDG has to be extra careful! DWG's lineup is too aggressive in team fights. Once Kai'Sa gets two kills, she'll take off."

Miller couldn't help but chime in.

The commentators' analysis of the match was very insightful.

The audience did not get bored while waiting for the game to start.

"Okay, in any case, the lineups for both sides have been finalized."

"Let's enter Summoner's Rift together and look forward to the fifth game of today!" the doll said excitedly.

The moment the words were spoken, countless spectators in the audience went wild.

A great cacophony of shouts and screams erupted, while cheers surged like a tidal wave, bursting forth in an instant!

"EDG come on!"

"EDG, charge!"

"DWG, you can do it!"

Go Kshine!

Amidst the cheers and shouts of the audience, the competition officially began!
The scene changes.

The ten players on both sides were like wild horses that had broken free of their reins.

They marched aggressively towards their own jungle.

Instead of invading like they did in the previous match, EDG adopted a more conservative approach.

Both sides are arranged in a long, straight line, occupying vision of their own jungle area.

"Oh? Neither side seems to have any particular ideas; they're both playing it safe."

Miller quickly glanced at the situation on the field and then said:
"We had already analyzed this before the match. EDG needs to be careful of the opposing mid and jungle players causing trouble. Once they reach level 6, DWG's control chain is quite strong!"

"Yes, in this game, EDG can only rely on this Lee Sin to create opportunities in the early game, so Kshine is under a lot of pressure."

Doll nodded: "But this is Brother Yao, his performance is still quite reassuring... Eh?!" Before Doll could finish speaking, the game...

The Lee Sin, who was just at the entrance to his own jungle, was seen.

I don't know when I slipped away to the bushes near the bottom lane river.

Then he started pressing the return-to-base button on the spot.

"what?!"

"Huh? What's this Lee Sin doing? DWG spotted his move, and the enemy Nautilus is coming over. If he gets hooked, it'll be a real problem!"

Miller said with a look of surprise.

Just then, the DWG members saw the Lee Sin standing arrogantly in the river bush.

Suddenly, they strode over aggressively from the entrance to their own jungle near the mid lane.

The Titan, stuck on the other side of the wall of the Dragon Pit, decisively used his Q skill towards the river bush!
At the same time, the blind monk, who was still recalling to base, suddenly interrupted his recall.

Move to the side and slightly above.

They dodged it!
He then flashed an icon at the DWG members in return.

[EDGS8 Champion Icon!]

"Ah this!"

"Wow! Kshine dodged Titan's hook with that little movement, that was pretty cool!"

The doll exclaimed in surprise.

"This time, Yao is really confident, and he's really cheeky! If he gets hooked, he'll be in big trouble."

"That's pretty annoying. They even showed the other side last year's EDG championship icon. That's going to mess with their mentality."

Miller remarked.

"Haha, Yao-ge is just showing off a little."

Rita nodded: "But after Titan used his hook, Karma and Lux ​​both came."

"Haha! Karma threw down an RQ, Lux threw down an E skill, and they even made 20 gold! EDG's got some fun here!"

Seeing the entire EDG team being playful, the tense atmosphere in the live stream dissipated considerably.

"But this is just Pi Liangbo, nothing serious, and there shouldn't be any follow-up."

In the canyon.

After Wang Yao and his mid and support players made that small play, EDG had no other way to keep the enemy in place and managed to chip away at their health.

Feeling psychologically that they had gained a small advantage, they immediately withdrew.

On the other hand, DWG, apart from Titan, had no other means of locking down enemies at level one.

They're all just for show; in reality, each one has shorter arms than the last.

"Haha, EDG and DWG are just faking it. They've spread out, and there were some minor skirmishes in the early game, but nothing serious. They're not really going to fight."

"Wait a minute... this Lee Sin is going to start with red buff?!"

As Miller finished speaking, the audience's attention shifted to the other side.

On the field, the Lee Sin, who had just retreated to his own lower jungle, was already walking towards his own upper jungle.

"Oh! Lee Sin deliberately showed himself in the bot lane just now!"

"He only arrived at the top lane when the jungle monsters had less than 20 seconds left to respawn, trying to create the illusion for DWG that he started with the blue buff!"

Miller analyzed decisively.

"Is it really going to bloom red?"

"If Lee Sin starts with red buff and farms down the lane, EDG's bot lane doesn't have any hard CC."

"Even if DWG didn't realize it, it's still not easy to catch. Lux does have a Q skill, but it's too risky."

Seeing Wang Yao's Lee Sin trying to start with red buff, Wawa looked puzzled.

At 1 minute and 30 seconds, the jungle monsters just spawned.

The Blind Monk chooses to start with the red buff alone.

Actually, solo jungle clearing is quite damaging and slow, but it's not so bad for Lee Sin.

The W skill, Iron Shirt, provides a shield, life steal, and spell vamp.

With the added passive attack speed bonus, it doesn't hurt much, but it's a bit slow.

Strangely, Wang Yao's Lee Sin didn't learn the W skill at level one, but instead learned the Q skill to start jungling.

This made it difficult for Lee Sin to jungle solo, so Wang Yao used Smite to farm the red buff.

"what?!"

"Watermelon rind!"

"lol, even a Bronze Lee Sin player like me knows that Lee Sin should take the W skill when jungling at level 1."

"Haha, so it was all an act. So even you, Yao-ge, don't know how to play certain heroes."

"..."

For a moment, the viewers in the live stream felt that Wang Yao had a problem with his understanding of the game.

Meanwhile, Canyon's Prince, with the help of his own bot lane, started with red buff in the lower jungle and then quickly leveled up to three to start his jungle clear.

At that moment, the director's camera switched to the road.

Flandre picked Sion this game, and he played it differently, immediately going head-to-head with Camille.

Sion is a typical character who is extremely strong in the early and mid-game, but his role becomes less significant in the late game.

As seen on OPGG, Sion's win rate reached third among all top laners 25 minutes ago.

It peaked at 25 to 30 minutes and then began to decline.

The reason is that Sion's damage is very high in the early and mid-game. He still relies on his tanky physique and very high fixed skill damage, making him quite strong in the early laning phase.

The charged Q skill has a very large range and deals decent damage.

A full combo of ultimate skills can instantly knock off most of a squishy target's health, and combined with the passive effect after death, the combat power is simply too strong.

Whether it's securing kills in lane or engaging in small-scale team fights, Sion can play a significant role.

But in the later stages, it becomes a toy in Camille's hands.

Actually, once Camille gets her Trinity Force and Hydra, and her kiting ability improves, Sion's effectiveness begins to decline!
But at this moment, it was Saint Gun's Sion who held the initiative.

"Oh? The top laners are trading blows fiercely, with Lee Sin starting at red buff. Could this have been planned to target Camille?!"

The child suddenly realized.

"Should we focus on the second-level or the third-level?"

Meanwhile, the laning phase on the top lane.

Flandre deliberately created an opening, walking forward to last-hit ranged minions during the downtime of his Sion abilities.

At this point, Niu Guli was completely going head-to-head with Flandre, having been out-farmed by me in the previous game while playing Kennen.

He dares to act all high and mighty just by playing Sion?!

So Camille took advantage of Sion's move to last-hit a minion, and used her E skill to kick him in, while also landing an AQA combo plus Grasp of the Undying!
But he was completely unaware that the blind monk in the bushes had been waiting for him for a long time!

Saint Gun's Sion lost half of his health to Camille, but he wasn't worried at all; instead, he seemed a little smug.

His jungler dad was right next to him!

Sion, taking advantage of being standing in his own minion wave, countered with a basic attack that dealt a fatal blow to Undying.

Despite the overall overhaul, Camille didn't gain much.

at this time.

The Lee Sin had also finished clearing his own red buff.

After passing through the triangular bush on their own top lane, they immediately crouched down in the bush at the entrance to the enemy's top lane river.

"Hey! Lee Sin has already circled around! Nuguri never expected Lee Sin to come and gank him at this moment."

"How do I put this? Is there a specific angle to it?"

Miller's spirits lifted as he watched what was happening on the court.

"It seems like there's a real chance, Camille didn't build any wards!"

As the commentators finished speaking, everyone present held their breath and watched the scene unfold in silence.

If they really manage to kill Camille this wave, he'll be in real trouble.

For EDG, whether it's Wang Yao's Lee Sin or Sion getting first blood, the early game will be much more comfortable.

Don't underestimate Sion getting kills. The sooner Sion gets first blood and builds Ninja Tabi, the more difficult it will be for Nuguri's Camille.

His Camille is a crucial part of DWG.

Of course, it would be best to give it to Wang Yao's Lee Sin.

Everyone knows and understands Wang Yao's role in EDG.

However, on the other hand, if Wang Yao fails to capitalize on this opportunity, it will be quite a blow.

You should know that Wang Yao's blindness was caused by a red-hot ailment.

All the jungle monsters in the lower half of the jungle are still there. If Lee Sin shows up in the top lane, it means that his own lower jungle may be invaded by Jarvan IV.

Even their own bot lane duo becomes very dangerous. EDG's control is unstable, but DWG's Alistar's control is quite stable.

"Oh? It seems like Niu Guli has noticed something's wrong. He's gone to set up spies in the riverbed bushes."

Saint Gun Bro played so aggressively as soon as he went online.

Seeing this, Niu Guli retaliated in kind and started fighting with Sain.

This left him no time to even set up a defensive ward.

In his view, the Lee Sin definitely started in the lower jungle as normal.

It's simply impossible for someone to be on the road at this time.

But this judgment was a mistake!
Just as Camille reached the vicinity of the bushes.

Sion, who should have been farming minions, suddenly stopped and moved right up to them.

Not right, not right.

Why did he send Sion over when I placed a ward?!

Only then did Niu Guli sense the danger, but Qing Gangying was too close to the bushes.
