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

Chapter 99 is too weak, too exaggerated! (5k)

"Indeed, I've played Galio top lane, he's pretty strong."

Song Wen also spoke up in agreement.

"Then take it. Song Wen, get Galio for Holy Gun Bro."

Seeing the two of them quickly finalize the deal, Flandre was completely dumbfounded.

"No, I've never played Galio top lane before!"

He never expected that these two people would so casually finalize this matter.

They didn't even ask for his opinion!

When they were messing with Saofen before, Flandre thought it was Wang Ke and Song Wen deliberately suppressing Saofen, since Saofen was really too arrogant. At that time, Flandre even applauded the two of them in his heart.

How come it's my turn now?

Saint Gun carefully recalled his behavior during this period, but he couldn't figure out when he had offended the two of them.

You should know that just yesterday Wang Ke went to his dormitory and talked with him for half the night about Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, the brain in a vat and the dark forest.

Although Flandre couldn't understand it, he was very eager to learn.

In Wang Ke's words of praise, "Holy Gun Bro is so eager to learn, he will definitely have a bright future."

Therefore, Saint Gun Bro thinks that Wang Ke picking Galio for him wasn't targeting him.

These two are just that casual.

However, whatever the reason, it didn't stop Flandre from saying with a bitter face, "I'm really not very good at Galio."

"It's alright," Song Wen said. "Take a look at the hero's skills first, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

Seeing that Snake Esports had locked in Galio on the third floor, Miller in the commentary booth exclaimed, "Galio! Locked in! Black's Galio proficiency is extremely high, and it's also one of Snake Esports' frequently used heroes in their meta compositions!"

Nofe wasn't surprised by Snake's picks; he would have found it strange if Snake hadn't picked Galio.

So EDG locked in a Clockwerk on the third floor.

When the junior student unwinds the clockwork, he looks very unhappy.

Because Orianna isn't actually a very good matchup against Galio in lane.

nofe's choice of Orianna was entirely based on consideration of the team composition.

Nofe noticed the junior's emotions, but he chose to ignore them.

In nofe's opinion, his fellow Korean, Xiaoxuedi, is even more difficult to manage than these local LPL players.

He knew that if no LCK teams wanted Scout, Scout wouldn't have wanted to come to the LPL at all.

On weekdays, the junior student often told Nofe that he would immediately return to LCK if he achieved good results.

Therefore, the junior students were especially eager to show themselves in the competition.

In nofe's opinion, the junior student is indeed capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take over the mantle from the "Fat General" and help EDG successfully enter the playoffs in the Spring Split.

However, the junior student was too impatient and extremely confident.

Even now, Nofe feels he can't really control his junior. He doesn't even dare to imagine how arrogant his junior would become if he won the championship.

At this point, both sides had completed the first three rounds of player selection and entered the second round of player selection.

Both teams picked their bottom lane and mid lane in the first three picks, so the second round of bans will naturally revolve around the top and jungle lanes.

The Snake team eliminated the Crocodile and the Excavator.

EDG, on the other hand, banned Gnar and Cho'Gath.

EDG used both bans on the top lane, but in reality, for Snake Esports, who had already moved Galio to the top lane, EDG's bans were essentially pointless.

With the right to choose, EDG secured the Jarvan IV after discussions between Nofe and Clearlove.

Snakes' bench.

Wang Ke looked at Song Wen and asked, "What do you want to play?"

After thinking for a moment, Song Wen said, "Lucian, I guess."

"Okay," Wang Ke nodded, "Then let's go with Spider for the pink one."

Lucian mid lane is a strategy they've been practicing a lot in recent scrims.

This hero doesn't have many opportunities to be played in the bottom lane meta right now, but he's very effective against traditional mages in the mid lane.

Moreover, as an ADC, Lucian can also benefit from the Ardent Censer buff.

After selecting the lineup, Wang Ke patted Song Wen on the shoulder.

Why do you seem a bit listless?

"Focus on the game."

Song Wen's answer surprised Wang Ke. It was the first time he had seen Song Wen so serious, making Wang Ke wonder if there was a younger sister watching him from the audience, pretending to be serious with him.

As Snake locked in Lucian, another gasp rang out from the crowd.

"Snake! They surprised us again with their last pick! Lucian, the Purifier! Should Lucian go top or mid?!"

Wawa said, "They should be going mid. It's unlikely the ADC will go top lane. I'd guess Galio top and Lucian mid. Snake Esports has pulled off a slick move against EDG!"

Nofe paused for a moment as he watched Snake Team make their final move.

This made him admire Wang Ke's "cleverness" again, but he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, ever since he got Snake to play the Ardent Censer composition, he's already in an unassailable position in this draft phase.

Besides, who says only your Snake team can shake their heads, while Nofe can't?

"Let's pick Sejuani for jungle and have Jarvan IV go top lane."

Upon hearing Nofe's words, the factory manager was taken aback.

Because this hand swing was not part of their initial plan at all.

The "nofe" move feels a bit like it's just for the sake of shaking.

He turned his head and glanced at Nofe, only to find his own coach gazing at the players' bench across the way, his eyes filled with pride and confidence.

However, the factory manager didn't say much, after all, it was quite meaningful for him to use Sejuani in his first game back.

Furthermore, Sejuani has just been reworked in this version, receiving an epic buff!

The reworked Sejuani is the Sejuani that everyone is more familiar with now.

The "pigskin" that commentators often mention is also a passive mechanism added at this time.

Furthermore, at this point, Sejuani's skin is exceptionally thick, boasting a total of 100+100% resistance at all levels. When Frost Armor is active, Sejuani is virtually invincible.

"EDG! They locked in Sejuani as their last pick! EDG is also making a move! And Sejuani is a good champion, Clearlove's signature champion!"

The crowd erupted in cheers once again after EDG secured the Sejuani pick.

The chat room exploded with comments.

【I am the factory manager's pig sister!】

[I'm so touched! The factory manager really knows what we want to see.]

[Ye Qing returns. 】

[They've even brought out Sejuani; I don't know how EDG is going to lose this game.]

Congratulations to EDG!

Thus, the lineups for both sides were finalized.

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

Top Lane: (Flandre) Galio vs. (mouse) Jarvan IV.

Jungle: (sofm) Elise VS (clearlove7) Sejuani.

Mid Lane: (black) Lucian VS (scout) Orianna.

ADC: (Ohq) Varus VS (zet) Kog'Maw.

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

The two entered the game, with Mingkai controlling the familiar yet unfamiliar Sejuani, his eyes blazing with intense fighting spirit.

He then thought of what Midsummer Night's Dream 7 had said to him that night.

The other person told him that he was Mingkai from 2025, and was the head coach of JDG.

Faker went on to achieve an unprecedented six-time world championship, so he wrote a novel called "Six-Time World Champion" as a warning to the current LPL.

The other party also told him that the prophetic novel "League of Legends: The Super Demon King" that caused a huge sensation during the S6 World Championship was actually written by UZI in 2025.

Mingkai thought the other party was talking nonsense.

So I asked a crucial question.

Who will win the first round of the playoffs between EDG and Snake?

The other party told him it was a snake.

Mingkai felt a surge of anger when he thought about the other party's confident yet contemptuous tone.

Regardless, he has to win today's match.

He refused to believe that parallel universes really existed!

Even if it were true, Mingkai would rewrite history and take his own destiny into his own hands!

My life is oily, not heaven's!

Snake's player stand.

Seeing Orianna following the minion wave, Song Wen immediately learned her E skill, slid forward, and fired two shots at Orianna's head.

Then they immediately began a head-to-head battle against the clockwork.

He and Scout had faced off in the Spring Split regular season before, until he realized that the kid was indeed something special.

However, compared to the regular season, Song Wen knew that his skills had improved again.

Moreover, he must gain an advantage in this game.

With 0huang in the bottom lane proving unreliable and Wang Ke absent, crucial command is lacking. If the game continues to be played like this against EDG, the outcome is predictable.

Song Wen's aggressive lane pressure and attrition made the junior student curse repeatedly.

He really enjoys playing the laning phase, but in the last few matches against Song Wen, he hasn't been able to get a hero with an advantage in the laning phase, which has really annoyed the junior player.

The factory manager kept a close eye on the minimap, and seeing the intense pressure on the mid lane, he immediately said, "I'll come over after I finish clearing the top half of the map."

In this game, Clearlove chose to start with the red buff and farm downwards. After clearing the upper jungle, Clearlove headed straight for the mid lane.

Song Wen knew that his playstyle would easily attract the jungler's attention.

He fought fiercely with his junior classmates in the middle lane.

Both sides had just reached level two, and their health was already more than half.

Since I'm in a position that's close to the finish line, the factory manager will most likely choose to gank the mid lane.

Sure enough, just as Song Wen was about to continue his advance to wear her down, Pig Girl rushed out of the bushes.

Fortunately, Song Wen was prepared and still had his E skill available, so he used a slide step to create distance.

However, the factory manager did not choose to leave immediately after failing to gank. In this game, the bottom lane had an advantage, and he was not worried about the jungle invasion from the spider.

So after pretending to head towards his own jungle, he chose to turn around and circle back through the river.

On the commentary desk, watching Clearlove's movements, Miller said, "Clearlove's gank was so clever! Black doesn't seem to have realized that Clearlove is back!"

This location is extremely dangerous!

In the Snake team's rest room, Wang Ke frowned as he watched the live stream.

Song Wen's condition today is clearly not right.

I specifically told Song Wen before I went on stage that he should just play steadily in the mid lane, but why is this kid playing so aggressively?

"This wave is going to get blasted!"

Zhu Kai couldn't help but speak up.

At this moment, Song Wen had already seen Zhu Mei flanking around.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

He only needs to eat one more soldier to reach level three.

Song Wen controlled Lucian, adjusting his position to buy himself more time to reach level 3.

The factory manager seemed to have guessed Song Wen's intentions, and after gradually approaching, he did not hesitate to start with the Q skill.

From this position, Sejuani's Q range is clearly not long enough.

It's obvious that the factory manager wants to use Q-Flash.

Meanwhile, the factory manager was constantly calculating Lucian's skill cooldowns in his mind.

In the previous wave, Lucian used his E skill right in front of him. Lucian's level 1 E skill has a cooldown of 18 seconds, but every time Lucian triggers his passive Silver Bullet, the cooldown of his E skill is reduced by one second.

Adding the time it took him to go around in circles, the factory manager estimated that Lucian's E skill cooldown would only have a few seconds left.

If Lucian doesn't initiate with a Q-Flash combo and then kite a bit, his E will probably be ready again, making his two ganks a complete waste of time.

The factory manager's goal in this move was to force Lucian to use Flash before Lucian's E skill was ready, thus setting the stage for a successful gank in the next wave.

Of course, if the opponent reacts too slowly and gets caught by his Q flash, then he can only take the kill.

In short, no matter what, you won't lose out by using your Q Flash.

Seeing the girl swipe towards him with her Q ability, Song Wen held his breath.

He did not choose to use his flash to create distance immediately.

Wang Ke always said that he was petty and narrow-minded, and Song Wen admitted that he really didn't want to suffer any loss.

If he uses Flash to escape this time, it will be a complete loss for him.

Song Wen adjusted his position and unleashed a beam of holy light at the soldier in front of him!

The Holy Light that the Purifier unleashed from his powerful attack not only killed a minion, allowing him to level up to 3, but also struck the Clockwerk, who was pressing forward to apply pressure.

at the same time!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two golden lights appeared almost simultaneously!

"oh!!"

A gasp of shock rippled through the crowd!

Miller's incredulous shout!

"Black! What is he doing?! He chose to flash forward! He shoved the gun barrel straight into the clockwork's mouth!!"

Faced with Sejuani's Q-Flash, Song Wen didn't choose to Flash away, but instead Flash forward!

Using the passive effect after Q skill, Lucian quickly fired two bullets at close range, followed by WAAEAA!

The junior student clearly didn't expect Song Wen to make such a move under these circumstances, and immediately chose to use Flash!

But at this moment, Lucian's Ignite had already been applied to Orianna's head!

Clockwork Demon is already fragile, and Song Wen had already aggressively reduced it to half health. Now it's been upgraded to level 3...

Lucian landed a full combo right at the enemy's face, and the enemy's health bar instantly dropped to zero!

With Lucian's Ignite, Orianna was clearly doomed!

"My God!" the doll couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't this guy a bit too aggressive?! In this situation, his first reaction is to flash in and counterattack?! Clockwork is going to get burned!"

First blood!

Lucian killed Orianna, securing First Blood and eliciting gasps from the crowd.

But at this point, Lucian was already stuck to Sejuani.

Without Flash and at half health, Lucian was clearly doomed to fail against Sejuani, who had the Red Buff.

But Song Wen's decisive action still caused a stir among the viewers in the live stream.

[I! I'm really reckless when I'm being sarcastic!]

[Flash forward!]

That was so cool!

[It seems like only a mid-laner in the LPL would dare to make such a move.]

This is something I really didn't expect.

[Damn it, Black has gotten his items again.]

In the commentary booth, Miller, having calmed down, analyzed, "But actually, Scout didn't lose much in this wave. Clearlove directly helped Scout control the lane, and Scout had an extra TP compared to Black! EDG doesn't seem to have lost out in this wave!"

Doll nodded and said, "Yes, although Black got the first blood, they didn't actually have much of an advantage in the mid lane."

Snakes' rest room.

Zhu Kai was gesturing wildly and shouting "nice!" When he heard the commentary coming from Wang Ke's phone, he asked in confusion, "1v2, you traded two flashes for one head and you're still not at a loss?"

"6

Wang Ke shook his head: "You'll definitely make a profit, Wawa never loses out in this matchup. But actually, just looking at the mid-lane matchup, Xiaoxuedi isn't really at a disadvantage. The most crucial thing is that this wave of minions is in front of the Clockwerk tower, and Song Wen doesn't have Flash anymore. In the upcoming laning phase, Song Wen is actually in a more dangerous position."

Upon hearing Wang Ke's words, Zhu Kai muttered, "The factory manager can't be that disgusting, can he?"

Wang Ke fell silent.

In Wang Ke's view, it was almost inevitable that the factory director would continue to focus on the central government.

Since you've run out of Flash in the mid lane, I'm definitely going to take advantage of your weakness and finish you off.

Sure enough, after the factory manager finished clearing the bottom half of the map, he reappeared in the middle lane.

Fortunately, Song Wen had prepared vision in advance, so nothing unexpected happened.

However, something unexpected happened in the bottom lane.

Snake's bot lane duo actually gained the upper hand against EDG's bot lane duo!

This is fucking outrageous, far beyond Wang Ke's expectations.

He had been focused on the mid lane the whole time and had no idea what was going on in the bottom lane.

However, we can glean some insight from Crystal's words.

"Why is my Lulu playing like a bot?"

In the LPL, there are two support players who are often compared.

One is Meiko from EDG, and the other is Ming from RNG.

In most people's memory, there is probably a saying: Ming is good at hard support, while Meiko is good at soft support.

However, this statement is a typical example of impressionism and prejudice.

In fact, before Season 7, all support heroes, including Meiko, were primarily tank supports.

When Meiko debuted in Season 5, the two most hyped heroes were Annie and Thresh. Although they weren't particularly tanky, their highlights were mostly initiating team fights.

During this period, the LPL and teams around the world basically shared the same philosophy: supports needed to help the team take on the responsibility of initiating team fights, so hard supports or initiation supports were more sought after.

Meiko's teamfight initiation ability was quite good in the early stages of her professional career. However, after Clearlove retired, Meiko took on the role of commander, and became hesitant to initiate teamfights, and her teamfight sense became extremely poor.

So what is Yaomei Kou's true skill level?

Let's put aside team fights for now and just talk about laning.

A former world champion ADC player, Mr. Gu, who wished to remain anonymous, once used two "too"s to describe Meiko's laning skills.

The two phrases are "too bad".

"That's too exaggerated."
