You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

Chapter 110 Welcome to the Drai Alliance!
"Then let's congratulate Top Esports! After trailing by one point, they fought back and brought both teams back to the same starting line!"

The players of Top Esports had already stood up, and several of them had shaken off their previous gloom and were now all smiles!
This victory only confirms their judgment.

Top Esports has the ability to defeat any team, and JD Gaming is no exception!

If you can win one game, you can win three. Just keep playing at this pace!
At this moment, in the live stream chat, supporters of Top Esports also began to rally.

【win!】

In short, it's about human-machine interaction.

[I told you, Xiaofei is no good at laning; he just falls apart as soon as the intensity increases!]

[This has nothing to do with Xiaofei? Jinx is evenly matched with your Draven in lane, don't you know that?]

[The water ghost is really good at bragging. Three bans plus a first pick of Draven, and in the end the laning phase was even. I didn't expect to find a reason to brag about this.]

TES should thank toothpaste for winning this game.

[I really don't know what Gao÷ is doing. He's been invisible since the group stage, and now he's feeding. Does this guy even know how to play?]

[Haha, Left Hand was already terrible at this year's World Championship, but I didn't expect Gao to be able to make Left Hand carry, it's really funny]

[JD.com's four idiots are going to have to cling to Xiaofei's leg until it breaks!]

The camera cuts to JD.com, where the JD.com employees finally stand up slowly.

Looking at his dismal score of 2-1-3 and the bright red word "defeat," Ming Jing stood up helplessly and walked backstage.

It was entirely expected.

JDG has been working on solving problems all the way from the group stage.

Issues include team cohesion, tactical focus, and the role of the striker.
These problems have all been improved and resolved.

Currently, JDG is quite well-developed in terms of tactics and game version, and is even considered to be at the forefront.

New problems have emerged. These are the most fundamental and most difficult problems to solve.

Individual issues concerning the contestants.

The top lane is relatively safe. In this version where the focus has completely shifted to the bottom half of the map, Zoom picking Ornn, a very popular champion in this version, means that the top lane is unlikely to collapse.

But what about the middle lane?

Everyone lowered their heads and returned to the backstage dressing room, where they were greeted by Redmi's cold face.

"toothpaste?"

Redmi didn't mince words, getting straight to the heart of the matter: "What exactly are you doing?"

This match really put Redmi in a bit of a panic.

Because he understood that there was a real chance to win this game!
If they can maintain a stalemate for 25 minutes, the game will fall into their hands!

But there are always people who want to give it to me!

If they keep throwing like this, how can they even talk about winning the championship? They'll be going home in the semifinals!
Upon hearing this, Toothpaste was at a loss for words and could only sit in the chair with his head down, lost in thought.

Ming Jing found a seat and sat down. His cousin patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Ming Jing nodded with a smile; the recent setback didn't seem to affect him much.

Redmi, however, wasn't about to let the toothpaste off the hook, and continued to press, "Are you really planning to just stay silent and let this slide?"

Toothpaste then revealed a hint of bitterness on his face. "The pressure in the mid lane is really immense. All the mid laners I've encountered along the way are top-tier players. How am I supposed to compete? Is it wrong for me to play it safe? I want to win too!"

“But that’s the problem!” Redmi said. “Playing it safe isn’t wrong. But running away is wrong.”

No matter the year of the World Championship, the mid lane is always the stage for top players to showcase their skills.

However, the toothpaste's strength was indeed higher this year, defeating all the top mid laners from the three major regions.

However, this is absolutely no reason for toothpaste to shirk its responsibility.

Redmi certainly knows about toothpaste; after all, he has been working at JD.com for three years, so he has an absolutely thorough understanding of toothpaste.

If you ask him to be like Faker back in the day, invincible in the mid lane, he definitely can't do it.

But what if all we want is for him to focus more on being a competent third-in-command?
He is fully capable of the task; in fact, his abilities are not weak.

But the toothpaste itself doesn't think so. It doesn't want to be the third in command; it only wants to be the fourth, or even the fifth.

Because he felt he wasn't capable enough, he tried to shirk responsibility and get by when faced with difficulties.

Why would someone get solo killed in the mid lane? The reason is simple: the instinct is to avoid confrontation. As soon as Akali gets close, they only think about running away, resulting in them hastily using their ultimate and Flash, wasting them all.

If you stay calm and use your ultimate and Flash to counter each move, you can not only survive, but even have a chance to turn the tables!

Zoom, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Keep it up, Toothpaste. We need your help to win."

Zoom and toothpaste have been longtime partners. Zoom was a founding member of JD.com, so he certainly knows the capabilities of toothpaste.

This year's mid-laners aren't enough to completely overshadow toothpaste.

“Indeed.” Ming Jing patted Toothpaste on the shoulder. “Keep it up, Brother Gao.”

“These are the teammates you’ve waited four years to get as a professional player.” Redmi asked in a low voice, “Do you think you’ll ever encounter such a good lineup again in the future?” Hearing this, Toothpaste sighed and stood up.

Hongmi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go have a smoke," Toothpaste said sullenly. "The last game was definitely mine, but next game I'll burn myself out to play against Zhuo Ding, okay?"

Toothpaste and Left Hand are both from Pingxiang, so they are old acquaintances and know each other well.

"Burn away," Green Hair laughed. "With so much flesh on you, you won't burn it all even if you burn until the finals."

Toothpaste grumbled as he pulled cigarettes and a lighter from his bag and walked out of the lounge.

Seeing the toothpaste in this state, Redmi felt a little relieved.

That should be enough.

Although toothpaste is a person who lacks fighting spirit and has a habit of escaping, he is definitely capable.

JDG can only be considered a proper team if they allow the toothpaste to perform to its full potential.

At this point, Redmi took out his notebook and began discussing the next business plan.

"Overall, we should have an easier time in the third game," Redmi continued. "After all, we can choose blue."

For the blue team, some of their prepared tactics will have an opportunity to be used.

"Isn't it our turn to choose this time?" Hongmi looked at Mingjing.

Ming Jing nodded, a smile playing on his lips: "Just watch me."

At this moment, the MVP of the game is being selected on the screen in the lounge.

Without a doubt, it can only be Draven.

Draven's role in the early game tempo is definitely not significant; the mid and jungle are the ones setting the pace in this game.

But Draven's stats are just too good.

With a KDA of 5-0-4, he achieved a damage share of 34.75% and an even more impressive 27% damage taken share. It's hard to believe that these stats come from an AD carry.

Soon, after the toothpaste was finished and he returned, Redmi finalized the draft picks for the next game with everyone, and the break time was over.

Both players returned to the stage.

"Okay, welcome back!" In the commentary booth, as usual, Guan Daxiao announced: "This is the semi-final match between Top Esports and JD Gaming. The score is currently tied at 1-1, and we've entered the crucial battle!"

With the score tied at 1-1, the importance of this third game goes without saying.

The team that wins this game will have match point!

"There's a lot to say about this match!" Remember said. "After all, Top Esports dominated the last game, so what changes JD Gaming needs to make in the draft phase is something to watch!"

Teacher Ma chimed in, "But no matter what, Draven definitely needs to be limited. After all, we saw in the last game that if he gets a head start early and builds Bloodthirster early, his fighting power is too invincible, and you can't push his health down at all!"

"Yes!" Ji De nodded in agreement. "But it's alright, JD Gaming is on the blue side this game, so they have a good number of bans!"

At this moment, the BP screen switched to a live stream.

As you can see, both teams have already completed their first three bans.

"JD.com, having the right to choose sides, proactively chose the blue side, banning Akali, Syndra, and Lucian! On the other side, Top Esports' bans remained largely unchanged, still banning Ziggs, Caitlyn, and Senna!"

At this point, Colonel Guan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "JD.com still hasn't banned Draven!"

Upon seeing this ban, a flood of question marks appeared in the live chat.

[Stubborn?]

[Didn't you get enough of Draven's nerfs last game? Want to get nerfed again?]

[I didn't expect Redmi to be so stubborn, instead the white crescent moon brand didn't stick to it.]

[It doesn't matter, it's not like we haven't won before. What if Brother Fei has another trick up his sleeve?]

[What other trick is there? If I had one, I would have used it last time.]

【Sent】

I remember scratching my head, wondering about JD.com's ban.

But his doubts did not stem from a lack of understanding, but from the unknown.

He believes that JD.com must have its reasons for doing this.

The camera then panned to the JDG players' bench, and the smiles on their faces confirmed this.

That smile is exactly the same as when he picked the Bomber in the first game!
Little Fei must have a trump card up his sleeve!
But if you had prepared your trump cards, why didn't you use them directly in the previous round?
At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on me, and the answer came to me.

At this moment, JDG's first floor was revealed, and the answer was locked.

Welcome to the Delai Alliance!

Draven appeared on the first floor of JDG and was quickly locked onto!
