I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

On the commentary desk, upon seeing the Snake team's player selection, Guan Zeyuan said:

"Thresh! Locked in! This is going to be a head-on clash with EDG's bot lane!"

The director also very considerately focused the camera on Snake's bottom lane.

When the camera moved from Crystal to Ohq, Rita couldn't help but speak up:

"Hey, I see Ohq still has a bandage on his forehead?"

"Yes," Guan Zeyuan nodded, "Ohq slipped and fell while showering a couple of days ago, apparently twisting his ankle and hitting his head on the sink. Luckily, he's not seriously injured. However, facing today's high-intensity match while feeling unwell is quite a challenge for Ohq!"

Upon hearing Guan Zeyuan's explanation, many netizens were moved to tears.

[So touching!]

I deserve to die; I even criticized O-Emperor before.

[O-Emperor's professional attitude is so dedicated.]

[Wasn't there a rumor before that O-King was attacked at a shopping mall and beaten up like this? There were even photos.]

[Hilarious! Those who believe this are the kind of old people who buy health supplements.]

[O Emperor was invited by Zuo Wu after three visits to Incheon. Does Hei Chu dare to attack O Emperor?]

[The contestants are all very good friends, okay? How could a fight possibly happen?]

[O-huang thanked Hei Chu on Weibo yesterday, saying that Hei Chu was the first to take him to the hospital after the incident.]

At this point, the right to choose players fell into the hands of EDG.

Nofe had prepared a draft strategy to counter Snake's bot lane strategy, so he directly locked in the combination of Sivir and Karma.

This combination is good at pushing lanes and defending against tower dives; its only drawback is that it lacks initiative.

Seeing that EDG's draft picks were exactly as he had predicted, Wang Ke continued, "..."

"Galio, Prince!"

From the commentary booth, watching Snake Team's player selection, Rita spoke up:

"Snake's second and third picks completely locked down the mid and jungle! Galio and Jarvan IV, these two champions are very strong when paired with the side lanes for tower diving! Even though EDG has already picked Sivir and Karma, Snake doesn't seem to have given up on their strategy of targeting the bot lane!"

Guan Zeyuan then spoke up:

"Moreover, this prince can actually be used as a flex pick in the top and jungle, which will have a certain impact on EDG's second round of bans."

Nofe frowned when he saw the Snake team's player selection.

Snake's mid-lane pick of Galio was actually quite unexpected for him.

Although Black has only played twice in official matches, he has played a lot of scrims. Based on the information they have gathered, Black should be a mechanically skilled player like Scout.

They had never seen Black use Galio in any match before.

What's more, Black had previously said in a live stream that he would kill Zet ten times. How the hell are you going to kill him ten times with Galio?

So, in Nofe's initial plan, Snake would most likely play like they did against RNG in the previous game, giving Black a carry-type mid-lane mage or assassin, and then having the mid and jungle coordinate to target the bottom lane. But now it seems that Snake has really placed its bet on O.

Can that Emperor O carry?!

Although they couldn't figure it out, the opponent's lineup was already locked in, so Nofe had no choice but to make some tactical adjustments in the draft phase.

Nofe originally wanted to pick a safer champion for Scout, but the opponent has now picked Galio. If the mid laner doesn't pick a strong champion to exert pressure, it will put a lot of pressure on the side lanes.

"Jayce, Scout, you pick Jayce."

After locking in Jayce, EDG first banned Caitlyn in the second round of bans.

The idea is simple: since you want to target the bottom lane and don't pick an AD carry in the first round of champion selection, then I'll just ban all the strong carry AD carries in the current version!

On the Snake Esports player bench, looking at EDG's draft picks, Zhu Kai glanced at Wang Ke with surprise and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"The opposing team's draft picks were exactly the same as Wang Ke's pre-match predictions. That kid's really something. Looks like I need to work on building a relationship with him more. Next time we order beef noodles, I'll give Wang Ke the beef from O-King's selection first."

By this point, nofe's business plan was completely aligned with Wang Ke's ideas.

This meant that Wang Ke's business plan was not affected in any way, and he chose to cut off the big tree and the barrel.

This is also to more comprehensively block and weaken EDG's ability to initiate team fights.

At the same time, it's also to preemptively ban the counter-pick hero for their crucial top lane position in the final pick.

EDG is still targeting Snake's bot lane, and has banned Jinx.

The right to choose has fallen into the hands of EDG.

Nofe looked at their team's lineup and realized they needed to add an initiation hero, otherwise their lineup would be very passive.

This forces him to forgo the counter pick on the fifth floor and instead lock in a very popular top lane champion in the current meta on the fourth floor.

Nar!

In Nofe's opinion, if he insisted on putting the top laner on the fifth floor to counter the enemy, then Snake would definitely snatch Gnar later.

This leaves EDG with no better options.

When Zhu Kai saw EDG take down Gnar, he stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

The game between the BP is actually very subtle. Even Nofe probably doesn't know that he has already jumped into the trap set by Wang Ke from the very beginning. Every move he makes to change or select a player is almost like being pushed into a trap that Wang Ke has already set up!

Wang Ke smiled and said:

"If you guys don't mess up, we've already won this round."

"EZ".

In the commentary booth, even Rita looked puzzled when Snake Esports picked EZ.

"Ezreal? Locked in! So they ended up picking Ezreal?"

Although EZ can be considered a versatile ADC, much like in Mahjong where "if you can't play, play Fa Cai" or in the top lane where "nobody picks Renekton," EZ can perfectly fit into any team composition.

But after all that buildup about going to the bot lane, is it reasonable to just pick Ezreal?

Just when everyone was puzzled, Snake Esports locked in Camille in their last pick!

Miller paused for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim:

"Wow! That Camille pick is amazing! It feels like the moment Camille came out, Snake's entire lineup was revitalized!"

"First of all, Camille versus Gnar is like a mother beating her son, it's an easy win! And look at Snake's lineup, Jarvan IV, Galio, Camille, I can already picture the team fight in my head! Coach White's draft picks are really something!"

On the other side, Nofe was stunned for a full three seconds after seeing Snake's last pick before he came to his senses.

His coaching instincts told him that he had been completely outmatched by the opponent in the draft phase, but he would probably have to wait until he got back to analyze the situation more closely.
