Chapter 106 Teach you how to use heroes!
"Congratulations EDG!"

"Despite being underestimated by everyone, they defeated the powerful LZ in the first game."

Although Wang Duoduo had anticipated the outcome based on the situation, he was still pleasantly surprised to see EDG push down the LZ base: "Before the game, almost everyone thought EDG was no match for LZ. The ratio of those supporting LZ and EDG was even 91-. However, EDG showed their full strength in this game and overturned LZ in the way they are best at!"

The camera scanned the contestants' seats.

Before the EDG players stood up, excited Abu and Maokai rushed out from the backstage and high-fived each of their teammates to celebrate, showing how much they cherished this victory.

the other side.

The two elders Xuanming of LZ team, one frowned and the other grinned, were very dissatisfied with the game that had just ended.

In the upper unit on the far right, Khan looked at Cuzz with an extremely unfriendly look, and he obviously had the urge to ask the coach to let him play jungle.

Below the stage, the audience who originally had no hope for EDG to win this game and simply rushed to the home stadium to support them, burst into great enthusiasm when they saw them win the first game, and shouted out loudly that was several times their number.

The barrage was even more exciting.

【Come on EDG team! 】

[This lineup can beat LZ, it's really good]

[Brother Tian is so awesome, he beat Khan when he said he would]

[Kill the weapon in the top lane first, then kill Syndra in the middle lane. They are really taking orders.]

[Every time you play C, it's a sure thing]

[ICUzz made me laugh to death, killed Khan twice, especially the R of Prince that interrupted the weapon's Q, I couldn't think of it before seeing it]

[You praise Khan every day, is this your level? Show me and I'll laugh]

[I am not a fan of anyone. To be honest, if LZ's jungler wasn't such a jerk, Khan would definitely be able to gain an advantage.]

[KRD, stop pretending. Wasn’t it your Korean dad who got killed by a single player? ]

Whether in laning or in competition, strength is everything.

Before the two sides officially faced off, the LZ team and Khan, who had an extremely brilliant historical record, were rated as the strongest in the world. Even though Ye Tian performed as a "power leveling" in the summer finals and group stage, he was not favored.

to be honest.

RNG top laner Letme can only be considered a piece of the puzzle for a strong team, not a role that can stand on his own.

The top laners of C9 and AHQ are one senior champion and one out-of-date player respectively. SKT's Huni was also beaten directly in a direct confrontation with Khan. Ye Tian's win over these people only represents his upper-tier strength, and he cannot be compared with a top-tier top laner like Khan.

however.

The first game between EDG and LZ is over.

Ye Tian killed his way from the top lane to the middle lane, and then from the middle lane to the team fight, making his presence felt to the fullest.

In contrast, Khan had no screen in both split push and team fights, and almost became a spectator on the battlefield.

Even though there were factors like Cuzz harming his teammates and Factory Manager counter-camping and making great contributions, it also showed that Ye Tian's strength was not inferior to Khan, or even... better?
"Congratulations to EDG for winning."

"It's a pity for LZ in this game!"

Roaring Emperor Jeon Yong-jun's voice was filled with regret: "Khan was a little careless in the early stages of the game. He attacked blindly and was killed by Tian. Although he was able to stabilize his position, a Weapon Master who was at a disadvantage had no way to support the mid-term teamfight. EDG also played very decisively and ended the game before LZ's top and bottom lanes reached their strong period. I can only say that EDG was more skilled in this game."

"I don't think we need to be particularly concerned about this game." CloudTemplar believes in the Longzhu team: "Vampire is indeed a rare top lane hero. Khan made a mistake because he was not familiar with Vampire, but this method of using unpopular heroes to catch the opponent by surprise is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Being unpopular means that they are not strong enough. If they are not strong enough, they can only steal the ball. If they dare to use it as a regular tactic, they will die miserably!"

Hero strength is a very important issue.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the masters in Rank can ignore version changes and use their best hero to be the core. Even if they are countered by the opponent, they can still win with the proficiency accumulated from countless battles.

The same situation is almost impossible to happen in a professional league, especially in the World Finals.

the reason is simple.

Compared to Rank, where everyone has their own ideas and someone does something fancy from time to time, the professional league has more resolute execution, more tacit understanding, and is more formulaic - key resources must be fought for, and the lineup must be pushed forward during the strong period. When you can't win, you won't think "I'm going to go up and make a move", but will firmly stay calm and wait for teammates.

Even if a hero who is not strong enough is skilled enough, he can accumulate certain advantages during the laning period, but that is all he can do and he cannot expand the advantage into victory.

As for the last game…it was an accident.

Pure accident.

If Cuzz hadn't made two mistakes, Khan would never have fallen to the point where he had no sense of existence.

In the LZ backstage, head coach Hirai and Kim Jeong-soo who is in charge of Ban/Pick were also discussing this topic.

The main point of discussion was how to allow Khan to gain an advantage.

For a long time, the main means of winning for the Longzhu team has been to focus on the online ability of the top laner. After Khan establishes an advantage, he radiates into the jungle and threatens the middle lane, thereby forming an overall economic suppression.

There is no second way to start the rhythm.

Before the match against EDG, no one on the LZ team thought this was a flaw.

After all, Khan beat all the top laners in LCK. Even when SKT and LZ fought, they decided to let the top laner withstand the pressure and avoid fighting, and they were easily defeated by LZ while trying hard to avoid fighting.

When meeting EDG, Khan didn't make a sound and it was the LZ team that was defeated.

Even though Khan was careless and Cuzz's two Rs betrayed their teammates, LZ still had to take the battle with EDG seriously.

After all, the mid-term rhythm of LZ and EDG is built around the top lane hero. There is no detour, entanglement, playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses, etc. between the two, only the most direct confrontation.

Winner takes all.

The loser gets nothing.

"Vampires are a lower-level replacement for Kennen."

Kim Jeong-soo expressed his thoughts: "Compared to Kennen, Vladimir has better self-protection before level 6, but his teamfighting ability in the early and mid-game is much worse. In my opinion, there is no need to ban this hero. As long as he is not allowed to get kills, he will not be of sufficient use."

"Then, my idea is to release the Steel Shadow - Tian's Steel Shadow is indeed strong, but Khan has Jayce and Master Yi. As long as one of Jayce and Master Yi is outside, the Steel Shadow will not be difficult to deal with. Galio, who can fly to the side lane to support even if he is crushed to death, is more worthy of targeting. In the last game, we couldn't do anything about Vladimir, and most of the reason was Galio."

It is not difficult to 1v2 with a strong top laner.

1v3 is not easy to complete.

Even Khan, who was double-teamed by the opponent's top, jungle, and mid heroes in the LCK region, could only barely replace one.

Banning EDG's Galio will suppress Tian's upper limit to a great extent.

"Makes sense."

Hirai agreed: "Donghe, what do you think?"

"I'm fine." Khan's face didn't look very good.

Khan thought that he was much stronger than Ye Tian. Although he died accidentally once, he would be able to turn the situation around by relying on the hero characteristics of the Master Yi and put unbearable pressure on EDG in the split push.

The coach's words revealed his expectation that he would not be able to win in the top lane, which made Khan feel a little unhappy.

What made Khan even more upset was that the MVP player was playing in the center of the big screen in the lounge.

Below the half-length photo of Ye Tian with an indifferent expression is a vampire portrait and personal ID.

Various data are displayed on the right side of the screen.

Kills: 6
Deaths: 0
Assists: 4
Participation rate: 91%
Economic share: 38%
Output ratio: 47%
The first five points together are enough to support an undisputed MVP.

The last one is even more terrifying. In this version that generally focuses on the bottom lane, the top laner actually dealt nearly half of the team damage. If the policewoman had fewer hits during the laning phase, the vampire's share might really reach more than 50%.

Such gorgeous data made Khan, who had a high opinion of himself, feel that... the hero he was using was not good!
If you get a strong hero, you can definitely achieve the same effect!
EDG is also summarizing the first game.

Scout was suppressed by BDD and felt very uncomfortable. If he had not used Galio, he would probably have been killed continuously. This shows how excellent BDD's laning ability is.

That being the case.

Ban/Pick should be tilted towards the middle lane.

"Sindra, please."

Ye Tian replaced Maokai in designing: "BDD had two wins and two losses with Syndra in the summer season, and the record was average, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but Syndra's strength is still high... Keep banning the troll, this thing is really hard to kill."

"For the last hand, we will adjust it based on the situation. If LZ bans Skateboards, we will pick Xayah and Rakan. If LZ doesn't ban Skateboards, we can't let them go either."

Versions are not absolutely irreversible.

But there is no need to go against it deliberately.

The fundamental reason why some heroes and playing styles become popular in different versions is that they are strong enough.

With high intensity, you can get twice the result with half the effort no matter what you do.

Ye Tian faced SKT's choice of Noxus and LZ's choice of Vladimir, who were essentially heroes that fit the version, but the way they fit the version was a little bit special, making it difficult for the commentators and the audience to understand, rather than just going against the version out of nothing.

The same goes for not putting away skateboard shoes.

Even though Skateboard Shoes has a series of shortcomings such as short range, only 90% efficiency of basic attacks, and inability to defeat tank heroes in the late game, as well as due to the high ban rate, many professional players do not choose it regardless of Rank or training games, and may not dare to take it if it is really released. Due to such objective factors, it is still not worth the risk.

The example of the fire man smelting iron is not far away, and we must learn from it.

When you are forced into a desperate situation and have no other options, it is understandable to try to go against the version. As long as there is still a choice, follow the version as much as possible.

Do a good job of negotiation.

Half of the break time has passed.

EDG submitted the decision of choosing the red side in the second game to the referee, closed their eyes and rested for a while on the sofa before returning to the main stage.

The two sides did not switch sides.

Ban/Pick is done very quickly.

LZ held down Lucian and Galio, hesitated for a moment, and gave the last pick to Luo, which was a very troublesome combination.

EDG banned Syndra, Troll, and Skate.

Compared with the special situation in the first game, the BP in the second game was relatively normal - the blue team did not release T0.5 level Xayah and Rakan, and the red team did not release T0 level Skate.

but……

"Jace's outside!"

Wang Duoduo caught the key point: "Khan's Jayce appeared 11 times in the LCK Summer Split, winning 10 of them, with a win rate of 90.9%. He was picked once in the group stage and beat sOAZ's Crocodile. I wonder if I should lock him in this time... OK, I'll lock him in!"

First floor.

The future guardian-Jace’s avatar has been finalized!

Khan, who is known as the world's number one top laner, took out his signature hero!
[Khan's Jayce is here, this time he will definitely beat that ignorant kid]

[This is the strongest Jayce in the LCK region. The only game he lost was a 5-4-7 record. His statistics suppress his opponents in all aspects.]

[You even dare to let go of Khan's Jayce, just wait for death! ]

【One wave to defeat him】

[Khan will definitely lead the team to victory this time! ]

The Korean live broadcast channel was filled with the sound of champagne being opened.

Player seats.

LZ and the others also had proud expressions on their faces.

It’s true that the red team has a counter position on the fifth floor, but can any hero counter Jayce?
Noxus, Vladimir, Shen, whatever, just kill them all with Khan!
EDG's first two choices were Caitlyn and Gragas.

Exactly the same as the first game.

On the second and third floors, LZ first locked down Thresh, who had perfect coordination with the policewoman, and then took out Varus, whose strength against the policewoman was not much worse.

As for Varus's problem of choosing special effect equipment and becoming increasingly weak as time goes on... even Jayce has chosen it, so who would consider the late game!
"LZ's first three moves were very aggressive."

"Let's see what EDG will use next..."

Zhihuan looked at the screen and said, "Oh, EDG has Taliyah on the third floor. Let Scout continue to play support. Taliyah's support has its own advantages compared to Galio. Galio has a group knock-up when he enters the field. Although Taliyah's ultimate does not have control, it can create an artificial terrain."

The first round of Ban/Pick is completed.

Entering the second round.

LZ banned Janna and Lulu, blocking the two supports with the highest appearance rate.

EDG banned Sejuani and Jarvan IV, targeting Cuzz who became famous at a young age.

Fourth floor.

EDG chooses Braum.

The top position is still undecided.

It was not until LZ brought out the Clockwork + Jarvan III mid-jungle combination that EDG took out... the Master Yi at the most critical Counter position!
"what?!"

Shen Chao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Using the backhand weapon to attack Jayce? Tian is really confident!"

"It's quite difficult for Weapon to play against Jayce, especially Khan's Jayce." Wang Duoduo carefully considered his words, "Because Khan is not only good at Jayce, but also at Master Yi. In the LCK Summer Split, Khan's Master Yi had a 100% win rate in five games, and he knows both heroes very well."

As the saying goes, knowing J and B will ensure victory in a hundred battles.

Khan is fully aware of the damage, judgment, and game strategies of the two heroes, Jayce and Arms, so the possibility of accidents during laning is so low that it can be ignored.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Master of Arms wants to defeat Jayce?

It’s not very realistic!
LPL viewers also frowned, not optimistic about Ye Tian's victory.

But no matter what, since you have made your choice, there is no way to change it, and we can only hope for a low-probability event to happen.

After exchange.

The lineup is finalized.

Blue side: LZ
Red square: EDG
Top Lane: Jayce vs. Arms
Jungle: Prince vs. Barrel
Mid: Clockwork vs Taliyah
AD: Varus vs. Policewoman
Support: Thresh vs Braum
"The game has already started. EDG walked out of the fountain. The mid, jungle, bottom, and support players tried to find an opportunity."

Zhihuan's eyes followed the director's perspective: "But Pray, the veteran, is very experienced. He waited in the triangle bush first, and when he found the EDG hero, he left a trinket eye. In this way, EDG's group invasion was useless."

"After all, they are the two Xuanming Elders." Wang Duoduo praised: "Let's take a look at the situation in the top lane. Both summoner skills are Flash + Teleport. Khan's talent is Fervor of War, and his starting equipment is Doran's Blade + Red Potion. Tian has Grasp of the Undying, and his starting equipment is Doran's Shield + Red Potion... Compared with the previous match, Tian's match in this match is much more conservative."

"The main thing is that you have to bring weapons like this to fight Jayce." Shen Chao explained: "With Doran's Blade, you can't outlast Jayce, and with Corruption Potion, you don't have the capital to fight Jayce head-on. The only thing that can take care of both is Doran's Shield."

"Indeed." Zhihuan agreed: "Tian hid in the bushes at the top and ambushed Khan. It seems that he wants to steal a trick from Khan. I wonder if he can do it."

From the director’s perspective.

The weapon master using the [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon] skin hid in the bushes, holding a threaded staff and waiting quietly.

1 minutes 47 seconds.

The soldiers on the top lane fought each other wielding swords, shields and staffs.

Two seconds later, Jayce walked out of the jungle intersection.

This is an extremely confusing arrangement - Khan made a move to help the jungler, so EDG could not accurately judge how Cuzz started the game.

then.

Jayce came near the line of troops.

Please wait.

Seeing that the first melee soldier had dropped to half health and the Master of Arms had not yet appeared, Jayce moved up half a step and inserted a trinket eye into the bushes.

The fog of war has been dispelled.

The figure of the weapon master is clearly visible.

"childish."

"I wouldn't have suffered this kind of loss when I was fifteen."

Seeing this, Khan curled his lips into a mocking smile and raised his hand to launch a normal attack with the weapon.

Before launching the normal attack, Khan thought of two follow-ups.

- If Weapon uses Q to jump into the face, use W to perform a cannon-style AWAAA combo, stack up War Fervor and chase after Weapon to beat him up; if Weapon uses E to force forward, use hammer-style Q to slow down Weapon and quickly pull away, causing Weapon to lose health and mana in vain.

next second.

Khan's smile froze.

The action of pulling the corners of the mouth looks extremely funny.

The reason is... the Weapon Master didn't use any skills, and he just kept pressing forward with Jess's normal attacks!

This time.

The one who needs to consider what skills to learn is Jayce.

AWAAA will be restrained by Weapon's E [Counterattack Storm], and Hammer Q will be chased and exchanged with Weapon's Q [Jump Slash]. Stand still and deal with the situation, and you will also engage in face-to-face A with Master Yi.

All three decisions are unacceptable.

Khan subconsciously walked towards the river, still wanting to deal with it later, but after taking two steps he realized... he would lose experience if he walked any further!
In a hurry, Khan could only learn the Q skill and smash back with the hammer form [Sky Leap].

But 0.5 seconds before Khan made his move, the Master Yi activated E [Counterattack Storm], raised the threaded stick in his hand above his head, and swung it into a whirlwind!
Dodge all normal attacks and reduce the damage of range skills by 25%!

Because the Master Yi activated E first and anticipated moving half a body length backward, the slowing effect of Jayce's Hammer Form Q did not serve to create distance. As soon as he reached the edge of [Counter Storm], he was stunned by the Master Yi and took the basic attack with magic damage from [Grasp of the Undying]!

The weapon master scored with one strike.

Turn around and step back.

Kill the melee soldiers with low health.

Jayce, as a lane bully, lost dozens of health points in the first encounter, and was even killed by Master Yi...
