Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"G5 won the first game of the BO2, and the score was -!"

"G2 played across the board in this game, with top, jungle, mid, bottom, and support all performing better than DWG."

I remember watching G2's last unstoppable offensive, and I was very excited: "Tian Ge performed as usual. Even when he was using Sylas who was countered by Fiora, he still broke through Nuguri's defense. In front of Tian Ge, DWG seemed to be distracted. Even ShowMaker, who was known for his stability, was killed the second he landed."

"A true 'instant' kill." Wang Duoduo watched the wonderful replay on the screen and emphasized the key point: "This is the power of Sylas, who other players thought was too nerfed to be suitable for the game, in Tian Ge's hands."

"It's mainly because Tian Ge's personal ability is too strong, which is enough to make up for the lack of damage and tankiness." Ze Yuan combined the lineup analysis: "I think it was a serious mistake for DWG to pick Kayle first in the Ban/Pick stage, because Kayle is the guarantee in the late game. Even if we don't consider how fierce the G2 offense led by Tian Ge is, DWG is not a traditional strong team in terms of operations."

Kayle becomes a god at level 625 and is permanently in the [High Spirits] state. His attack range is increased to , and his Flame Wave has spell effects and can critically strike. Even if his true damage is changed to magic, he is still a core hero capable of turning the tide of the battle.

The theoretical upper limit is very high.

but.

How long will it take to get to this point?
In a normal game without too many kills and 1-2 deaths, Kayle would take nearly minutes to reach the god level even if he was on the safety line the whole time.

Putting Ye Tian and G2's average playing time aside, and only looking at DWG's average playing time, how much is it?

——Thirty-one minutes.

It is indeed a bit awkward for a fast-break team that plays an average of 31 minutes per game to pick a late-game hero who needs 30 minutes to exert his power.

not to mention.

Ye Tian is the undisputed number one top laner, and this year's Caps is the top mid laner striving for the second place and the first place.

Facing Ye Tian and Caps, what's the difference between DWG using a purely pressure-resistant hero like Kayle and taking the initiative to clean up their butts and pick up soap with their backs to the black uncle?
“So we can’t take it too easy.”

"As long as DWG can change their mindset and get a lineup that suits their style, they can still be a threat to G2."

Wang Duoduo concluded: "The MVP of this game went to Tiange without any suspense. Although the whole G2 team performed very well, Tiange's one-second quadruple kill of Fiora and Lee Sin in the top lane, the bottom lane pressure of the teleport landing point to kill Kayle, and the explosive output in the last team fight were far better than other players."

7-0-1 perfect KDA, a perfect interpretation of personal ability.

29.7% of the damage share may not seem particularly high, but we have to consider that Syndra in the middle lane is suppressing Kayle and beating her hard, Xayah and Rakan in the bottom lane are suppressing Kaisa + Dawn and attacking fiercely, and Sylas, as a melee hero, deals % of the team's damage, which is already a very exaggerated data.

In addition to the data, Ye Tian's Sylas also posed a new problem for DWG and subsequent opponents.

——Ban or not ban Sylas?
There are two other reasons why Sylas has become popular in professional competitions, in addition to the fact that he is a new hero with relatively high attributes.

One is that it is easy to operate.

Techniques that change Riven's characteristics, such as inserting skills into normal attacks and tapping the ground to cancel the backswing, are just icing on the cake when used on Sylas and may not necessarily achieve a qualitative change.

Especially the slight time difference when clicking the floor to cancel the backswing, even players from Master to King rank don’t pay much attention to it.

The second and most important reason.

That is, Sylas's R [Way of the Knight] steals the ultimate move, which will greatly limit the opponent's character choice.

Some have the ability to make the final decision, but for ultimate skills with more stringent prerequisites, Sylas can sneak over and cast them directly.

Some damage reduction or locking skills that are generally effective on supports will instantly turn into C-position crushers if they are stolen by Sylas.

The designers made all-round cuts to Sylas from damage to basic tankiness to growth tankiness because they were worried that Sylas would become an OP hero who must be banned or picked during the World Championship. After all, the viewing value of OP heroes in history is very average, and apart from creating the famous meme of being stubborn, it has a completely negative effect.

Take a look after cutting it.

Good guy.

Only Tian is left to use.

Ghostcrawler, chief designer of Riot Games, watched the live broadcast and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, EDG didn't make it to the World Championship this year, and Tian went to Europe to help G2 play. If Tian won another Summoner's Championship trophy for LPL, I'm afraid he would really lose this job...

On Tieba, Weibo, Hupu and other media, the topic of G2's : DWG quickly became a hot search.

[Brother Tian has been targeted and cut for two years but he is still the best. He is really awesome]

[In class, I heard that Nuguri couldn’t beat Tian Ge’s Sylas with Fiora. I thought Nuguri was a bad player, but after watching the replay, I realized that Tian Ge was showing off.]

[The main thing is that Nuguri also steals money. Who gives him the courage?]

[I know why Nuclear Emperor performed the best, because he was the only one who didn't meet Brother Tian]

[MD, that makes sense]

[Wang Duoduo's words "We can't be too relaxed" really came true, LPL's fourth seed is confirmed]

【Number 4? Number 1! 】

[It’s started, it’s started, the second game is about to begin] The break time passed quickly.

G2 and DWG members returned to the main stage.

The big screen first played a piece of trash talk between the AD players of both sides.

Facing the camera, the Core King said that although young players may show nervousness in large-scale competitions, DWG has come all the way from the qualifying round and has adjusted its state on the road to promotion, and can fully demonstrate its due strength.

A P said that the G2 team is improving every year, and this year they have built an unprecedented luxurious lineup and are capable of defeating any opponent.

"G2's lineup this year is truly unprecedented."

"Ah P has made great progress too."

Ze Yuan returned to the camera: "DWG took the initiative to choose the red side in the second game, and they still valued the counter position on the fifth floor more. But this will lead to a problem - from the group stage to the knockout stage, the teams that took out Xayah and Rakan have played well, and the results are not bad. G2 continued the previous BP on the blue side. Should DWG care about Rakan?"

"There is one more thing." Remember to continue: "DWG's counter position may not necessarily form an effective counter, just like in the first game, we all thought that Fiora would counter Sylas, but in the end Fiora was countered by Sylas."

While talking.

Jump to the Ban/Pick interface.

G2, who won the first game, followed the original strategy and held down Akali first.

"This is Brother Youtian's advantage."

“Don’t worry about the top lane heroes, there are plenty of ban slots.”

Wang Duoduo explained based on the data: "ShowMaker used Akali in five games from the qualifying round to the group stage, with a win rate of 80%. G2 held Akali down and prevented ShowMaker from using such a risky hero."

DWG's first ban fixed Pantheon.

In the last two bans, G2 gave Quinn + Tam, exactly the same as before.

DWG held down Sylas and Xayah, and released Qiyana and Jayce together.

"Ban Xia?"

"G2 got Syndra!"

Ze Yuan spoke from G2's perspective: "If DWG wants to take Kai'Sa, then just take it. It doesn't matter at all. Am I afraid of this?"

"Ap's hero pool is too deep." Remember to answer: "AD heroes are indeed only Xayah and Kai'Sa, but now he can use AP to go to the bottom lane, which just fits Ap's specialty; Qiyana should wait and choose. DWG jungler Canyon has only used Qiyana in one game since the summer season, and he lost. He probably doesn't dare to use it."

DWG's first and second floors are Kaisa + Lee Sin.

It's G2's turn to choose.

The one on the second floor was not the Qiyana as imagined, but the Graves who had disappeared from the field for a long time.

"Graves playing as a jungler should have a special understanding."

Wang Duoduo didn't understand: "But it doesn't matter which jungler Jankos uses, because his teammates are all very strong. Tian Ge's top lane is needless to say. Caps can basically suppress ShowMaker if he gets Syndra. If A-P gets a hero with fast pushing speed, he can have the three lanes."

"Here on the third floor, G2 locked on Jayce who was banned in the last game, and the strength of the two solo lanes was maximized!"

After much deliberation, DWG added a Ryze on the third floor.

The second round of banning.

G2 banned Titan and Vampire.

DWG banned Yasuo and Yuumi.

"DWG got Kennen on the fourth floor and changed their style, letting Nuguri take the route of resisting pressure and following the team."

"Whether I can withstand the pressure is hard to say."

I remember looking forward to it: "Tian Ge rarely uses Jayce in games, but whenever he uses Jayce, he can beat the opponent to the point where they can't develop, and Kennen may not survive to the teamfight... Hey? Wait!"

"what?!"

"No, what does G2 mean by this move..."

Ze Yuan and Wang Duoduo both became confused.

G2 has Minotaur Chieftain on the fourth floor, and he can use R to release the control and then use W to push Kennen away, which is a precautionary measure.

On the fifth floor, a female hero with a chameleon tail appeared—Nico, the Flower Spirit! (End of this chapter)
