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

In the commentary booth, seeing that Snake had locked in Karthus, Guan Zeyuan asked with some confusion:

"Karthus mid? That champion is relatively rare these days. And more importantly, is Karthus a good matchup against Galio in the mid lane?"

Galio's Durand Shield gives him an advantage in lane against most traditional mages.

Guan Zeyuan couldn't figure out where Karthus had an advantage against Galio.

Rita, on a sudden inspiration, began to analyze:

"I think Snake's pick of Karthus is probably more about team fights. You know, Karthus can still use his skills even after he dies. He's not afraid of EDG's Jarvan IV and Galio engaging."

At this moment, the Snake team's player bench was stunned when they saw Karthus being locked down.

He turned his head sharply and said urgently:

"I've really never played Karthus before!"

"I know you haven't played it before," Wang Ke comforted her, "but Karthus is a very simple champion. Song Wen, can you teach Saofen how to play Karthus?"

Hearing Wang Ke's words, Song Wen said somewhat impatiently:

"Dude, do I really need to teach Karthus? Just keep using QQQ, and sing when you see someone low on health, isn't that enough?"

The fan was stunned for a moment.

"Sing? Which song?"

"Sing 'I'll Love You Till I Die'".

"I've never heard of it."

Crystal couldn't hold back any longer.

"Are you stupid if you're not a fangirl? Singing is Death Song's ultimate move!"

Wang Ke interrupted the argument and said:

"I'll teach you, I'll teach you. You start with Q (blue buff) at level one, then just farm. Just keep farming. Do you know how to farm? Isn't that what you're best at? You don't need to gank in this game. Just farm and get to level 6 as quickly as possible. When your teammates call for you to use your ultimate, use it in the jungle, then keep farming. Got it?"

Wang Ke's repeated use of the word "swipe" struck a chord with the fans, visibly arousing their excitement.

Having played jungle for so long, this was the first time he had ever heard the coach say, "You don't need to gank."

"When you're in a team fight, just activate your skills and go for the enemy's face. After you die, just keep using QQQ and you're done. Make sure to place the Q at the enemy's feet, understand?"

Sao Fen was no longer paying attention to what Wang Ke was saying, and quickly nodded.

"No problem, I know how to play Karthus!"

Saint Gun listened to the conversation, his expression strange, and his eyes became clear.

He now has some doubts about whether he is actually sitting on a stage.

Isn't this an official competition?

Why are you practicing heroes now?

His nervousness made him seem somewhat out of place among the others.

EDG players' bench.

Nofe looked at Snake Team's player selection with a face full of confusion.

Using Karthus against Galio?

Putting aside whether Karthus is good against Galio, a short-legged champion like that in the mid lane is just easy for the jungler to gank.

As expected, he's still a young coach, and he only has a few tricks up his sleeve. Once he dismantles the lineup, he starts to show his true colors.

Nofe didn't think much of it and directed his team to select the last two lineups.

Female Gunner and Leona.

"EDG's bot lane lineup features Miss Fortune and Leona! Wow, this lineup feels incredibly similar to Snake's lineup from last game! Jarvan IV and Leona unleash their ultimates, Galio engages, Miss Fortune follows up with her ultimate—this team fight is going to be a beautiful sight!"

The right to vote has returned to Snake's hands, Wang Ke said:

"Cards, right?"

Song Wen nodded.

"OK".

Crystal, who was on the fifth floor, obediently helped Song Wen get the cards down, but he had some questions in his mind.

After all, in most people's minds, cards are not actually very good at countering Galio.

Just as Crystal was puzzled, Wang Ke and Song Wen started speaking in riddles.

"You know what I mean when we play Galio this game?"

"I get it, I get it, it's the same old routine."

At this moment, as the Snake team completed their final player selection, a gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan was completely bewildered.

The incomprehensible aspects of Snake's draft picks in this match were comparable to his previous Lucian jungle game.

"Snake Team's last pick was Twisted Fate again? Wait, how do they lane him? Let's see what Snake Team's subsequent adjustments... Karthus... Karthus jungle?! Karthus jungle, Twisted Fate mid? Isn't this lineup a bit too outrageous?!"

Rita's tone was also full of doubt.

"Can Karthus jungle... even be played? And Twisted Fate mid doesn't seem like a good matchup against Galio either."

Guan Zeyuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to smooth things over, so he could only say:

"It feels like the Snake team has some new strategy. Anyway, the lineup has been decided, and now we can only wait and see how the players perform."

The live stream was filled with question marks.

【? ? ? 】

What an insane lineup!

[Karthus jungle? Isn't this a recipe for disaster?]

Even in Silver rank, you wouldn't pick such an abstract lineup.

At this point, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side: EDG Esports Club VS Red side: Snake Esports Club.

Top Lane: (mouse) Gnar VS (Flandre) Twisted Treant.

Jungle: (Fireloli) Jarvan IV VS (sofm) Karthus.

Mid lane: (Scout) Galio VS (Black) Twisted Fate.

ADC: (zet) Miss Fortune VS (Ohq) Ashe.

Support: (meiko) Leona VS (Kryst4l) Janna.

Song Wen, sitting in the stands, opened his talent page.

After stepping down from the contestant's seat, Wang Ke opened his author backstage profile.

Chapter Sixty-Four, he has two chapters in reserve.

Chapter One is a normal card-based split-push system.

One chapter is a collection of Fervor of Battle cards prepared in anticipation of EDG potentially opting for the Galio composition!

Ever since Xu Xiu discovered the Conqueror LeBlanc strategy against Galio, this strategy has become one of the most frequently mentioned strategies in League of Legends novels.

LeBlanc can use this strategy against Galio, and so can Twisted Fate.

But there are some differences between war zeal and conqueror mentality.

Because Conqueror grants Adaptive Force, if you start with Doran's Blade, Conqueror will provide attack damage. Later, when you get AP items, Conqueror will provide ability power.

But the fervor for war is different.

War Fever provides a fixed attack power.

Therefore, if you build AD cards at the start of the game and then switch to AP cards later, it's essentially a waste of a keystone rune.

Therefore, Wang Ke had Song Wen play AD cards in this game!

Chapter 64: War Fever Cards!

[Faced with EDG's acquisition of the Galio composition, Wen Song countered by pulling out Twisted Fate. Amidst the bewildered questions and skepticism of the crowd, Wen Song opted for his AD runes and Fervor of Battle mastery, while choosing Doran's Blade as his starting item.]

To compensate for the team's lack of AP damage, Snake Esports chose Karthus for the jungler position. Karthus also provides the 4-1 split push strategy with fast wave clear, and as long as he isn't caught in the jungle and can clear waves under the tower, Karthus's passive ability will pose a significant threat to EDG's aggressive playstyle!

Wang Ke thought for a moment and then added a new section of content.

[The player mentioned that he had never played Karthus before. However, encouraged by his teammates, he watched Karthus's skills live.]

At this point, Scout was unaware that the torture had already begun.
