League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 101, the capture game begins!

"Congratulations again to QG for taking the first game and taking the lead in today's match!" Guan Daxiao looked at the base exploding, still somewhat unsatisfied: "I thought this game would last a long time, but I didn't expect it to end so suddenly in one team fight."

"Yes, a 27-minute game is actually quite rare in this version," Su Xiaoyan said. "It's mainly because Brother Shu initiated that team fight perfectly. No one from RNG survived, not even a single person to defend the base or clear the lane."

Chen Dongqing, on the other hand, had a satisfied look on his face.

Even after the base was leveled and he stood up, he had a smile on his face.

There's no way around it, the feeling of getting a pentakill in a professional match is just too wonderful. He's still replaying his ultimate move in his mind.

If the computer used for the competition weren't so inconvenient, he would have loved to download the recording and watch it again.

Uzi glanced at Chen Dongqing's expression and felt even more choked up. He glanced at the damage output and confirmed that he was still dealing the most damage, which finally made him feel a little better. He then walked towards the rest room with his teammates.

As they walked, Doinb said smugly, "You were so fierce in that last team fight, wasn't I partly responsible for that?"

"Uh." Xiangguo's forehead was slightly sweaty. "What does this have to do with you? All you did was unleash a powerful move!"

Doinb raised an eyebrow: "I have Abyssal Scepter! I reduced the magic resistance of several enemies by 20 points. Isn't that crucial? Otherwise, how could Kennen deal so much damage? And I even knocked up Corki with my ultimate!"

"Indeed!" Chen Dongqing also gave a thumbs up: "You deserve one-third of the credit for that pentakill!"

Overjoyed at receiving recognition, Doinb stood on tiptoe and hooked his arm around Chen Dongqing's shoulder, exclaiming, "Your roaming tactics are so effective! How did you come up with that?"

For some reason, ever since Doinb started using the roaming tactics that Chen Dongqing mentioned, he has become unstoppable.

This tactic seems tailor-made for Doinb; he uses it with ease and confidence.

Despite Doinb's intensive daily ranked training, his skill level has not improved much.

As a result, Chen Dongqing casually gave him a suggestion, which immediately improved his gaming skills by a leap forward.

You have to admit, that's something else.

Doinb has to admit that there are indeed differences in talent between people.

On the other side of the contestants' bench, Swift also had a strange expression, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

As a former teammate, Swift knows Doinb's personality all too well. This kind of person only believes in their own ability to carry, always picks a core mage, and then frantically farms gold to drag the game into the late game.

And yet, this same player actually picked Titan mid lane today and acted like a dog for his teammates?

"What are all these?" Swift shook her head and followed her teammates back to the lounge.

QG's strategy in this game was quite unexpected, and they need to go back to the rest room to discuss it again.

Then came some highlights from the game.

The highlights in the early game belonged to Uzi. His Kalista achieved a double kill against two opponents in the laning phase, and he also made a comeback with low health against RNG's encirclement in the mid-game. These were all very exciting and extreme plays.

The exciting and thrilling scene drew cheers from the audience.

Then came the post-match panel results, and in the damage section, Uzi's Kalista was still undoubtedly number one.

But then came the MVP selection segment, and Chen Dongqing's bright and sunny smile indeed appeared on the television screen.

There was no way around it; that ultimate move was just too dazzling, and the referee couldn't possibly not award him MVP.

Backstage, Uzi watched this scene and felt rather disheartened.

AD is really boring.

At this moment, commentator Guan Daxiao in the commentary booth was also talking non-stop: "Actually, there is a hidden hero in this game, and that is Doinb in the mid lane. This Titan opened up the situation in the top lane with TP at level three!"

"Indeed," Su Xiaoyan agreed. "Perhaps RNG needs to think about how to solve QG's mid-lane roaming problem in the next game."

The break time passed quickly.

The players from both sides returned to the stage, but judging from the tense expressions on RNG's faces, they had clearly discussed a lot of things.

As soon as Chen Dongqing put on his headphones, he heard Doinb encouraging his teammates.

"Come on, brothers!" Doinb shouted. "Let's take it 2-0!"

Chen Dongqing couldn't help but smile when he heard this; he knew that this player really liked to encourage his teammates.

The S11 Iceland incident caused the atmosphere within the FPX team to become extremely bad. During the last group stage game, Doinb would forcefully step forward to cheer on his teammates.

From a purely psychological standpoint, Doinb is far superior to his jungler teammates.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Uzi patted his chest repeatedly: "They'll definitely push this round quickly."

Just now in the rest room, Banbazi has determined the general strategy for this game - that is to focus on the bottom half of the map.

After the last game, QG's coaching staff has determined that RNG's bottom lane is an easy target, and it will be easier to break through from the bottom half of the map.

To put it bluntly, we want to take a bite out of RNG's bot lane.

Uzbekistan is quite confident when it comes to ordering food.

"Contestants, please confirm that your equipment and voice system are working correctly. The competition is about to begin!"

The referee's voice came over, and everyone quickly straightened up. The match began, and the second round of ban/pick began.

"Okay, as we can see, RNG has the right to choose sides in this game, and unsurprisingly, they chose the blue side, banning Fiora, Kalista, and Vayne!"

Colonel Guan glared and said, "I can understand banning Kalista, after all, this champion put a lot of pressure on RNG in the last game, but what's the point of banning Vayne?"

Su Xiaoyan laughed and said, "Maybe they want to pick Kog'Maw, after all, QG used Vayne against Kog'Maw and achieved very good results!"

"But QG didn't ban Kog'Maw either!" Guan Daxiao said. "They still chose to ban Lulu, Lissandra, and Morgana, those three bans are exactly the same as last game! They still let Kog'Maw through!"

Su Xiaoyan looked at the screen and said, "So RNG's actions were quite swift, instantly picking Kog'Maw on the first pick of the blue side!"

When they saw that RNG had indeed picked Kog'Maw, the QG players couldn't help but smile.

That big mouth was definitely deliberately released by them.

Kog'Maw's late-game damage output is unmatched with his ability to fire five shots per second, but his weaknesses are also obvious, namely his weak laning phase in the early game. Although the attack speed buff from his W skill improves his laning ability, it only elevates him from the third tier to the second tier.

It's still worlds apart from the top-tier laning heroes.

Once the opposing team picked Kog'Maw, the game shifted from a farming and tower-pushing game to a defensive and offensive game centered around Kog'Maw.

If Kog'Maw gets caught and killed twice in the early game, QG will win. If Kog'Maw successfully transitions to the late game, RNG will win.

However, the four-man gank on the bottom lane is exactly what QG has been focusing on recently, and they are very confident in their ability to gank the bottom lane!

After setting the main theme for the game, Banbazi didn't hesitate and immediately locked in Caitlyn and Thresh for his bot lane, aiming to firmly grasp the bot lane advantage through Caitlyn's laning ability.

On the other side, RNG also had a countermeasure. They chose to pick Bard support to counter Thresh, and then locked in Sejuani jungle, giving the choice back to QG.

Since the main focus was on the bottom half of the map, Chen Dongqing was forced to play a support role in this game. He later picked Captain on the third floor and then locked in Gragas as the jungler on the fourth floor.

Colonel Guan nodded and said, "It seems QG will be giving the final counter pick to Doinb! Let's see which champion RNG will choose to determine their lineup!"

With only the top and mid lanes yet to be selected, RNG quickly locked in Quinn for the top lane, but this time they made a slight change in the mid lane, choosing LeBlanc.

Clearly, RNG was getting impatient with Doinb's roaming in the last game, and they wanted to take the initiative to control the game's pace by using LeBlanc's offensive capabilities.

But... LeBlanc isn't working well for Doinb right now.

Doinb smiled slightly and chose to lock in Rumble for the mid lane.

Rumble in the mid lane is the second mid-lane specialty he has recently mastered. On Chen Dongqing's advice, Doinb brought Rumble's advantage of fast wave clear to the mid lane, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Rumble's skill set characteristics give him an advantage in lane against most mages.

LeBlanc, whose lane pushing ability is already weak, is even more easily countered by Rumble.

After a series of positional exchanges, the lineups were officially finalized.

Blue side RNG: Top lane Quinn, Jungle Sejuani, Mid lane LeBlanc, Bot lane Kog'Maw and Bard.

Red team QG: Top lane Gangplank, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Rumble, Bot lane Caitlyn and Thresh.

Looking at the lineup his team had chosen, Coach Banbazi nodded; he was very satisfied with it!

It's no exaggeration to say that this was another victory in the draft phase.

The game was already over the moment QG's two carries picked Rumble and Caitlyn.

The middle route is advantageous, the bottom route is advantageous, they can play however they want in the bottom half of the bracket!

What? You're saying the top lane is at a disadvantage? That doesn't matter! Trust Chen Dongqing! He's the pride of QG!

The competition then unfolded under this main theme.

At the very start of the match, Xiangguo went alone into RNG's bottom jungle and secretly placed a ward in front of the opponent's high ground to prevent the opponent from doing a lane swap.

On the other side, RNG indeed had the idea of ​​switching lanes, and this move was accurately captured by QG.

As a result, QG also switched lanes, with both AD carries forcibly continuing to lane in the top lane!

What Uzi and Liu Qingsong need to do is simple: keep Kog'Maw pinned under the tower and reduce his CS as much as possible.

The tasks for Xiangguo and Doinb are quite simple. One of them should directly invade RNG's top jungle and find the enemy jungler's position to prevent Uzi from being caught in the top lane. The other should keep pushing the lane and find a suitable opportunity to gank Kog'Maw.

As for the bottom lane, Chen Dongqing's job is even simpler: he just needs to stand under the tower and not die, then wait to win without any effort.

Six minutes quickly passed, and just as Chen Dongqing was yawning and farming under the tower, messages started coming through the team voice chat.

"Come on, let's dive right in! Even if we get traded, we can't let Kog'Maw eat this wave of minions!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongqing immediately perked up and switched screens to unleash his ultimate move, [Cannon Barrage]!

At this moment, wuxx's Kog'Maw was standing under the tower, ready to receive the minions entering the tower, when suddenly Gangplank's ultimate was cast at his feet, and wuxx was inexplicably flustered.

What's going on?

Immediately afterwards, a fiery trail suddenly fell from the sky!

This is Rumble's ultimate! Right now, both Rumble's ultimate and Gangplank's ultimate are coming!

Big Mouth hadn't even moved an inch, and he'd already lost half his health!

Wuxx was completely bewildered. What the hell is this thing?
