League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 176 Uzi's Pentakill!

"My God!" Commentator Su Xiaoyan's mouth formed an "O" shape. She exclaimed in astonishment, "QG's jungler and bottom laner fought 3v4, but still managed to get three kills?! How did they do that?"

Xiaosan thought for a moment and explained loudly, "The main reason is that none of Snake's three junglers had their ultimates available this time. A Hecarim with his ultimate is incredibly powerful in this situation! Plus, they have Gangplank's ultimate to support them! Their fighting strength isn't actually that bad!"

The camera then cuts to the top lane, where Chen Dongqing's Gangplank has once again pushed the minion wave into the tower.

This time, he used his powder kegs to bomb Shen and push lanes, so he couldn't do the fancy three-fire combo this time, but that's not a big problem.

Chen Dongqing relied on W and a soon-to-respawn gunpowder barrel to frequently refresh Sheen, plus the damage from a Fire Blade, and managed to solo kill the first tower before the bottom lane.

"Whoosh!" Chen Dongqing roared from the top lane, "Mine!"

Seeing that he had acquired 675 gold coins, Chen Dongqing felt that the heavy responsibility of helping others get rich after getting rich had been placed on his shoulders.

Uzi, who was a little slower at dismantling the tower, couldn't help but let out a soft "damn," but he quickly relaxed.

The three of them split the money, which came to a little over two hundred yuan each. Thinking about it that way, he only lost two hundred yuan, so it wasn't a big loss.

"The same question still applies," Colonel Guan asked cheerfully, "Why did Shen fly down with almost no health? Mainly because even the captain shouldn't be able to unleash such a high burst of damage!"

The director quickly provided the answer to everyone.

This time, the director pulled a trick. He prioritized showing the team fight in the bottom lane, and then suddenly switched to a split screen to show the situation in the top lane.

On the way, Twilight Eye stood still and chanted a spell, his body radiating purple light, like a well-behaved baby.

Before the Eye of Twilight, the vicious Ocean Scourge brought the Powder Keg over, followed by a Q-Flash double Fireball. In the three-second teleportation time, Shen was still knocked out of 800 health by the Captain!

"That's outrageous!" Colonel Guan was quite surprised. "Brother Shu, you're really daring! Did you just flash in?"

Su Xiaoyan laughed and said, "But as it turns out, there was absolutely nothing wrong with that Flash move! He even saved himself a Teleport!"

"In that case, QG has ended the early laning phase with a huge advantage and entered their most advantageous mid-game tower-pushing phase!"

After returning to base, Uzi immediately built a Statikk Shiv to enhance his wave clear ability and started pushing towers.

Doinb, on the other hand, went to the bottom lane to push the lane and farm. His Malzahar is now ready to retire and become a tool for pressing R.

Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing was also returning to the city at the same time.

Now, twelve minutes have passed, and the Extract he has been holding, which he has never left the top lane, has been replenished.

This time when he returned home, his equipment was quite frightening.

Uzi, who already had three kills, had just bought a Statikk Shiv and Boots of Speed, along with some other miscellaneous items. Meanwhile, Chen Dongqing, who hadn't gotten a single kill, had already crafted a Trinity Force, sold his Cull item, and put on another pair of Mercury's Treads.

It can only be described as exaggerated.

Without Doran's items, the captain naturally gains 450 gold, Cull gains 180 gold, the first tower is worth 675 gold, and there are also assists from various ultimates and extra gold from last-hitting with Q, which causes the captain's development to far exceed the timeline!

When Chen Dongqing logged back in, he pressed TAB and glanced at Shen's equipment.

Cloth boots, Bambi's slag, chainmail.

What's this?

Chen Dongqing looked disdainful and said, "What do you have to fight me with?"

He first placed a ward in the river, then used the minimap to determine that the enemy jungler was not in the top lane, and then he quickly started to engage!

He first reduced the melee minions to half health, then used his Q barrel to wipe out the entire wave of minions, and then used the speed boost from the Q barrel to decisively move forward and chase after Shen!

Meanwhile, Flandre also saw that the captain had already built Trinity Force.

He really wanted to ask the captain where the money came from, since both top laners had 0 kills, but he was suddenly more than 1,000 gold behind, which was unacceptable to anyone!

But whatever the outcome of this answer, there is only one thing he can do now—run away as soon as he sees the captain!

But he had barely taken a step when he saw the captain place a gunpowder barrel right at his feet!

So arrogant?

Saint Gun was immediately startled. After thinking for a long time, he was certain that he wouldn't die even if he didn't manage to grab the barrel this time, so he decided to try and grab it.

How can you possibly outmaneuver me in close combat with a barrel that's so far away?

Seeing this, Holy Lance seized the opportunity and unleashed a basic attack!

But just then, one of the captain's bullets flew over!

It's that classic frame-blocking barrel again, a powder keg that looks like it still has two health bars, which is instantly detonated by a single bullet!

Boom!

This barrel containing the Trinity Force exploded and took away nearly a quarter of Shen's health!

Thankfully, Shen was thick-skinned and had many layers of armor, otherwise this bucket would have been fatal.

But Chen Dongqing's actions weren't over yet!

Seeing the gunpowder barrel explode, he accelerated again to pursue it, and then laid out another barrel!

This time, it directly puts Shen on his way out!

So you look down on people?

Saint Gun Bro was instantly filled with rage!

but.

He can't afford to steal it this time.

Saint Gun Bro immediately used his E ability to retreat and escape!

Chen Dongqing smiled slightly and fired Q again. Then, the instant Q was fired, another powder keg was set up!

EQE, which involves first using Q followed by two barrels, is considered one of the more difficult combos for the Captain, and it is extremely difficult to execute in actual combat.

However, given Chen Dongqing's 96-point skill level and the mere 7ms latency of the competition server, this combo wasn't particularly difficult.

Boom! Boom!

The two barrels exploded, and Shen was hit hard once again, his health bar still only half left!

"Wow! They're playing really aggressively in the top lane!" Xiaosan exclaimed in surprise, "Holy Gun is completely outmatched!"

Taking advantage of these two attacks, Chen Dongqing successfully triggered the Wind Rider effect. The Captain, relying on the attack speed from taking off from Wuhu, caught up directly behind Shen and unleashed a slash!

Saint Gun uses QW to create a sword array to block basic attacks and preserve his health as much as possible.

Seeing this, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but sigh.

If it were the five-barrel version of the captain, he would now have four gunpowder barrels. With just one more gunpowder barrel, he could be easily killed by an explosion.

But he didn't give up. He continued to chase Shen, using the speed difference to his advantage, until Shen walked out of the sword formation. Then he used a Fire Blade and Q to finish him off!

Another quarter is gone, but at this moment Shin has already entered the second tower.

"Liu Shiyu, are we there yet?!" Chen Dongqing shouted loudly, "They're about to run away!"

"Coming, coming! What's the rush?" Xiangguo replied in the voice chat, and then a humanoid figure with a blue shadow flashed out from behind!

"Hey, here he comes!" Colonel Guan shouted, "Xiangguo activated Sprint right now! He's trying to finish off this low-health Shen!"

Hecarim's ability to finish off low-health enemies is clearly top-notch, after all, he's fast, and his E skill deals basic attack damage, making it completely unavoidable!

The Arcade skin features an extremely fast dash, leaving a rainbow trail behind it. Then, it delivers a powerful kick to Shen, spins its weapon around, and finishes off Shen with a single auto-attack, easily securing the kill!

"Beautiful!" Colonel Guan shouted, "Under Brother Shu's silky smooth combo, Brother Flandre was completely powerless to resist and was chased all the way down to low health! In the end, Xiangguo finished him off!"

The audience below the stage erupted in cheers! This captain is truly silky smooth!

With his frame-blocking and double-barreled attacks, Saint Gun Bro looked like a naive child in front of Chen Dongqing!

Not only in the audience, but also in the number of bullet comments, there was a significant surge.

【666】

[Holy crap, two barrels in a row! Can the captain really pull this off?]

[I've learned something, I'm going to try it out in ranked matches now]

Dude, ranking up isn't easy, don't ruin it for yourself.

Meanwhile, in Snake's voice chat, Flandre sighed, "My bad, I shouldn't have grabbed the first barrel."

But even Flandre himself thought it was outrageous when he said that.

He was a fully tanky, full-health Shen, and he was chased to death just because he failed to steal a barrel!

Do you think this makes sense?

Does anyone have a solution to this?

It's not that he's bad; it's just that the opposing team was too dominant.

Snake's team atmosphere was as good as ever, and the teammates naturally didn't blame them for this situation, saying that it wasn't a big problem.

Anyway, this one has most likely already been sent, so it won't make a difference if you get one too.

"If that's the case, Snake's defense will be in a lot of trouble," Colonel Guan pointed out, highlighting Snake's biggest problem at present.

With both sides focusing their firepower on the bottom lane, the captain in the top lane secretly became an unmanageable boss.

When this happens, everyone just wants to say one thing: This is unfair!

You don't even have any kills, how come you're so fed? You don't even have any kills, how come you can chase Shen down the street like that?

Guan Daxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "I was actually worried that with the increased importance of the bot lane in this version, QG, who usually relies on the top lane, might be weakened. But now it seems I was overthinking it."

"Because QG has Uzi on their team, they adapted to this version very quickly! And even when neither side ganks top, Shu can easily win 1v1! So it seems that for QG, this version isn't even a nerf, but a buff!"

Upon seeing this, a burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

So you're saying that with the bot lane's status being strengthened, the top lane is actually the beneficiary? You've already won everything!

If this were said in a normal setting, the audience would definitely think Guan Gou is an idiot.

But now that the results are in front of us, the audience has to admit that it seems to make some sense!

With this advantage, QG pushed towers at a rapid pace, not just pushing one lane at a time, but simultaneously pushing two!

In 14 minutes, the middle tower was easily destroyed by Uzbekistan!

In 17 minutes, the upper and middle towers collapsed one after the other!

Chen Dongqing returned to the city to upgrade his equipment, and immediately bought the Ghostblade.

After Trinity Force, the armor penetration build is the popular Captain build in the recent version. The advantage of this build is that it is quick to complete, since Youmuu's Ghostblade and Duskblade are cheaper than Essence Reaver and Infinity Edge, and the damage is more consistent.

The downsides are obvious: the skill ceiling is low, and you don't get the thrill of a single critical hit that instantly kills your opponent.

But it's not a big problem. Chen Dongqing mainly felt that the opponent was at such a big disadvantage that they might not be able to hold out until he could get Infinity Edge, so it was better to go for armor penetration and speed.

Meanwhile, Snake never gave up on the rhythm. They were still trying to force QG into team fights, since they had Shen, and relying on Shen's ultimate to outnumber the enemy was the only solution in the current situation.

Unfortunately, team fights are also QG's forte!

Twenty minutes later, the Fire Dragon spawned. This time, Chen Dongqing didn't even bring a lane; he went to the bottom river with his teammates ahead of time to contest the dragon!

Snake seized this rare opportunity to launch a positive campaign and decisively chose to initiate a campaign!

SofM's Gragas started planning early and ambushed in the jungle. Once QG's players arrived, he made his move decisively!

All eyes were on the Gragas, who had been drinking in the jungle beforehand. Then, he charged out of the jungle and unexpectedly flashed and used his E to crash into Chen Dongqing's Gangplank. Then, his R [Explosive Gragas] was unleashed!

The ultimate move was perfectly positioned. Uzi and Liu Qingsong were on the left and were blown away from the battlefield, while Chen Dongqing and Xiangguo were on the right and flew directly towards Snake!

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone nearly suffered a cardiac arrest!

On the other side, the Snake team members were ready to receive the ball early on. Tank Cassiopeia took a step forward and pressed R!

"SofM, let's start this team fight!" Colonel Guan shouted, but then his voice suddenly stopped!

Because he clearly saw the captain, who had been blown away, suddenly move his right hand and stuff a handful of tangerines into his mouth!

Then, a golden light flashed across his body, and he returned to his original spot through a teleport!

The next instant, the Cassiopeia unleashed her ultimate ability, but because the Captain had already flashed away, the Petrify Gaze only petrified one Centaur!

"He dodged it!" Colonel Guan roared, "Tree Bro used W to break free from Gragas' ultimate's crowd control and then used Flash to dodge Cassiopeia's ultimate!"

In that instant, cheers erupted from the audience, and almost all the spectators stood up to observe the scene unfolding on the field!

At this point, the scene even became chaotic. SofM played very carelessly this time. He wanted to run away immediately after using his ultimate, but obviously he had to ask Doinb for permission!

Malzahar instantly flashed forward, used his R to pin Gragas down, and Uzi, who had been blown away, immediately used his W to jump back, activated his E and Q, and killed Gragas with four shots!

Meanwhile, in the midst of a team fight, Xiangguo, who was petrified, took a full combo of damage from Snake, but he still survived!

Xiangguo knew he didn't need to deal any damage this time, so he didn't even build Trinity Force. After building Cinderhulk jungle item, he immediately upgraded to Dead Man's Plate, making him extremely tanky!

Seeing this situation, Xiangguo showed no fear and immediately used his ultimate skill to charge into the fray, scattering Snake's formation!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Dongqing quickly placed a gunpowder barrel at his feet, then slashed it and decisively used his EQ combo!

Taking advantage of Centaur Warrunner's ultimate ability instilling fear in all enemies, the double barrels were placed without any hindrance!

Boom!

The powder keg exploded at the feet of the enemy Cassiopeia and Ashe. With the consistent damage from the armor penetration build, the keg directly took away half of Ashe's health. Although Cassiopeia is slightly tankier, she still didn't fare well!

At the same time, the captain fired a shot into the air, marking a cannon firing zone on the map! A [Daughter of Death] cannonball slammed down in the center, reducing both of their health bars by a large chunk!

"Holy crap! Awesome!" Xiangguo's heart couldn't help but race when he saw this. He quickly rushed to Hanbing's side, who had the lowest health, and used QA to further reduce Hanbing's health!

Unfortunately, Crystal also had Summoner Spells. He had almost used Flash a lot by then, and finally managed to use Flash to create distance when he was low on health. He then used Heal to restore his health, and only then did he dare to turn around, use his ultimate to stun the Hecarim in front of him, and then finish him off with two auto attacks.

Although he managed to get a kill, his Ice Spirit, with such low health, has lost its ability to fight in team battles!

At the same time, Flandre knew he couldn't let the captain continue to deal damage, so he used his E to slide up and taunt Chen Dongqing. Cassiopeia also took the opportunity to move closer and used her Q to bloom at the captain's feet, trying to get the kill first!

But QG has Tahm Kench! Liu Qingsong rushed up and grabbed Chen Dongqing, saving his life!

Immediately afterwards, the Uzi cannon took off from Wuhu and began its harvest!

With Cassiopeia without her ultimate, Shen without his E, and Gragas dead, all the factors that could threaten Snake have disappeared. Now it's his stage!

Xiao Pao jumped up and locked onto the snake woman who was only half health left. He fired a bullet with endless bullets, which directly took away a quarter of the snake woman's health. Then, he fired two more shots and easily took the head!

W refreshed, and Uzi jumped again, this time his target was the already escaped Ashe!

After jumping the maximum distance, Uzi estimated the distance and then decisively flashed forward, landing a basic attack on the low-health Ice!

This basic attack comes with the effect of an electric blade, instantly securing another kill!

"Triple kill!"

"Pentakill! Pentakill!" Uzi immediately shouted in the voice chat.

Chen Dongqing had just come out of Tahm Kench's mouth when he heard the sound effect of the triple kill.

Without saying a word, he first ate an orange to restore his health, then used a fire blade on Shen next to him to reduce his health, and then set up a gunpowder barrel!

Meanwhile, Uzi jumped again to deal with the lone Braum!

Braum's equipment wasn't good, so he obviously couldn't withstand Uzi's damage. Explosive Sparks were applied, and four shots detonated, sending him flying.

At this moment, only Shen remained on the field! The audience below the stage had already anticipated the pentakill and stood up to cheer!

Chen Dongqing detonated the gunpowder barrel. Although the barrel did not hit Shen, the fire knife was refreshed.

He went up and used his Fire Blade followed by his Q, successfully reducing Shen's health to below half. Then he ignored the fish in front of him and turned to leave.

Uzi has been playing for QG for so long and has never gotten a pentakill. He always gets stolen. Let's let him have one this time.

"Awesome! Awesome!" Uzi was grinning from ear to ear. The little cannon jumped up again, and with Liu Qingsong's control, took him down in three shots.

"Penta kill!"

The sound effects of a pentakill echoed throughout the Rift. Umbrella King, his mind racing, roared, even overpowering Guan Zeyuan, "Pentakill secured! QG can now take the Fire Dragon and Baron! They're just one final push away from victory!"

The cheers from the sidelines reached a fever pitch, and QG was just one step away from victory!

【6666! 】

[This wave of damage was all done by the Captain and Tristana alone!]

Holy crap, these are QG's two carries!

【Double Carry: refers to the top laner and the AD carry】

[Tree Bro's orange-based counter to the ultimate ability of the wine barrel was pretty outrageous; if they hadn't countered it, QG would probably have lost this round.]

[Indeed, how did they manage that play?]

Soon after, QG finished off the dragons and Baron, and returned to base to rest and upgrade their equipment. The broadcast director seized the opportunity to switch to the team fight replay.

In slow motion, every single one of the captain's movements is clearly visible.

In slow motion, it becomes clearer and even more terrifying.

After the captain was blown away, W-Flash forcibly ended the displacement!

Then, relying on the fear control of Centaur's ultimate, he used EQE followed by his ultimate to severely damage the two carries. Although Chen Dongqing only operated for less than three seconds in the entire team fight, the spotlight he showed in those three seconds was no less than Uzi's pentakill!

Then it was Uzi's turn to clean up the mess, a pentakill he easily secured.

At this point, Guan Gou once again began his classic, knowledgeable segment, explaining to the audience: "Some people might ask, since Orange could have already dispelled the knock-up, why did Tree Brother still have to use Flash? Actually, this Flash was necessary."

"Because the knockback in LOL is not a single control effect, but actually consists of two effects: forced displacement and stun. Gangplank's orange can only remove the stun, which means you can use skills, but it cannot remove the displacement effect, so you need to use Flash to interrupt the displacement effect."

(The most classic example is Uzi's use of Mercury's Treads and Flash to instantly counter Clid's Lee Sin ultimate in S9. I was amazed when I saw it. If you haven't seen it, you can search for it on Bilibili: Uzi Mercury's Treads instant counter)

As for the remaining matches, those were completely pointless.

"Hurry, hurry!" Uzi urged repeatedly in the voice chat, "Give him a push. Push it down."

QG didn't hesitate. After returning to base to replenish supplies, they immediately grouped up and pushed forward!

Under immense economic pressure, the last wave of highland troops also engaged in a one-sided massacre, followed by an unstoppable advance!

"Congratulations to QG!" Guan Daxiao's voice was booming. "In just 24 minutes and 43 seconds, QG quickly won the first game of the semifinals! This match length is quite rare in the current version!"

At this moment, the live stream chat started spamming with messages!

That felt so good!

[A game every 24 minutes, QG's matches are always so worry-free]

Indeed, if it were WE playing EDG, the game would only be halfway through at 24 minutes.

[Don't be so harsh on them; the game hadn't even started at 24 minutes because it was paused for half an hour.]

Looks like I don't need to stay up late to watch the game tonight!

If each game takes an average of 24 minutes, then three games would take a total of 1 hour and 12 minutes, so wouldn't it take about two hours to finish?

[Surely not? The Snake team should step up their game next.]

I think so.

As Chen Dongqing took off his headphones, the cheers from the audience surged like a tidal wave. Because he had won so cleanly and decisively, the cheers from the fans were exceptionally loud!

Chen Dongqing didn't dislike this feeling. He glanced at his damage output and confirmed that his damage was not as high as Uzi's. He sighed regretfully.

Unfortunately, it was still a bit short.

He stood up and strode back to the lounge with his teammates.

Halfway there, Uzi smugly approached and exclaimed, "Chen Dongqing, that was awesome!"

"It's alright, it's alright." Chen Dongqing waved his hand: "You guys were outnumbered in the early stages, but you still managed to maintain a balanced game. You guys were awesome!"

Liu Qingsong stood to the side, watching the two of them, speechless.

They usually boast about their victory.

Why are you being so modest today?

However, to be fair, neither of them was wrong.

The lower half of the map was not at a disadvantage in the early game due to being outnumbered, and the top laner was able to carry the game after seizing the opportunity to develop. The fact that we won so easily this game is due to both of these factors.

After exchanging compliments, Uzi walked exceptionally fast. He rushed to the lounge, grabbed a chicken wing, and started gnawing on it.

Chen Dongqing watched with amusement.

No wonder they won so quickly.

"Eat more, don't starve yourself," Linko said cheerfully, a stark contrast to his pre-match attitude.

Judging from the results of the last game, the team's overall performance was frighteningly good. What's wrong with eating some chicken wings?

"It's okay, a chicken wing and an egg tart will be enough to tide me over." Uzi wasn't in a hurry. "I need to save room for the victory celebration. Let's finish the next two games quickly!"

"Whether it ends quickly or not depends on you," Xiangguo said from the side. "Then you should try harder in the next two rounds, and try to finish them within 30 minutes each, so we can get off work at nine."

Their match started around 7:00, and now it's exactly 7:30 after the first game.

"What does this have to do with me? It's all about our Tree Bro!" Uzi joked. "Next game, we're on the red side. I'll pick Sivir in the bot lane and push against them, while Tree Bro can just dominate the top lane in a 1v1!"

"Huh? You're the MVP this game? That's unreasonable!" Chen Dongqing raised an eyebrow. "Xiangguo kept helping bot lane, and you're still demanding top lane dominate? Of course you're the one who should be killing!"

"Alright, alright," Doinb said from the middle, "Kill both lanes at once! Kill both lanes at once!"

The QG members laughed and joked with each other, filling the room with a cheerful atmosphere.

Of course, the atmosphere couldn't be too intense, so Banbazi and Park Unyong chatted back and forth, bringing the atmosphere back down to a more relaxed level.

banbazi then took the opportunity to talk about the problems that existed in the previous game.

Although we won decisively in the last game, there were indeed some problems. For example, the bottom lane got killed in that lane fight, which was due to being too lax in the laning phase.

Or perhaps it was the mid-game dragon fight that allowed Gragas to successfully flank and get behind the enemy lines; this indicates a problem with vision control, and these are all points that need attention.

On the other side, in the Snake lounge.

The Snake team members, despite losing a match, were quite happy at this moment!

Flandre slumped back in his chair and shouted nonchalantly, "Tree's too aggressive, I can't beat him! Can you come help me out in the top lane?"

"Who even has a top laner in this version anymore?" Crystal laughed. "You're destined to get completely wrecked by Tree Bro today, hahaha."

"You're still laughing!" Zhu Kai suddenly retorted from the side. "Your teammates have been helping you in the bottom lane the whole time, but you haven't done anything! You couldn't even dodge Hecarim's ultimate with Flash!"

Gangzi immediately fell silent.

"We still need to be a little more tense, brothers!" Coach Zhu Kai shook his head. "I know QG is very strong, and beating them will be extremely difficult, but the more difficult it is, the more we must do it! I believe that as long as we beat QG, the championship is ours!"

Zhu Kai went up and gave the team members a five-minute pep talk, which invigorated all four Snake members.

In the corner of the lounge, SofM watched this scene, slightly bewildered.

At this moment, Guan Zeyuan, watching the MVP selection screen of this game, was still praising the perfect performance of the previous game's Tristana and Captain.

"Since the Captain was changed to the three-barrel version, this is probably the first time Tree Bro has used it, right? He hasn't even used it in ranked games!"

As he spoke, Colonel Guan suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you guys think Brother Tree might pull out Ryze to fight?"

"I don't think so, right?" Xiaosan said hesitantly. "After all, Ryze was only reworked a few days ago, and Tree Bro never uses him in ranked games, so he shouldn't have much proficiency with him, right?"

"That's hard to say." Su Xiaoyan shook her head. "When the vampires were reworked before, didn't Brother Tree just take it out and use it directly?"

"That's different. Vladimir only had his E skill changed, but Ryze's entire system has been changed! Using that ultimate skill requires some skill, and it's definitely not something you can master in just a few days."

"Let's wait and see," Colonel Guan said with a smile. "Brother Shu always manages to surprise us; it's really hard to say."

Soon, the break ended, and with Yu Shuang's introduction, the two contestants took to the stage. Guan Daxiao then officially brought the topic back on track.

"This time, Snake has the right to choose sides, and they've proactively chosen a position on the blue side. Let's see how both sides draft!"

Regarding the draft picks, Banbazi thought for a moment and said, "If I let Poppy through, can you handle it right now?"

In the past, Poppy and Fiora were always on QG's ban list. This was partly because Poppy countered Fiora, so QG liked to use her to swap ban slots, and partly because Poppy countered Chen Dongqing's champion pool.

It's not just Fiora. Riven, Jayce, Fizz, Irelia, and many others are also unplayable, so banning them is the best option.

But now, the version has changed.

"I can handle it!" Chen Dongqing nodded. "Didn't I just play a trick on the Captain? The Captain can handle Poppy."

OK.

With that in mind, banbazi quickly decided on three ban slots.

Karma and Rek'Sai are two heroes that remain unchanged.

Then, Poppy was replaced with Malzahar.

In the previous game, they were the first to pick the grasshopper, which served as a substitute for banning, but in this game, being on the red side obviously wouldn't work, so banning it would be the best option.

On the other side, Snake acted quickly, and this time their bans were slightly different!

Vampires, policewoman, captain!

Clearly, Snake also realized that QG intended to release Poppy on the red side, which could be considered a calculated move.

After all, for Snake on the blue side, if they let Poppy and Fiora go, they absolutely have to pick Poppy. If they don't pick her, they'll likely get destroyed by Fiora. Picking Fiora won't help either, because Poppy is also out there.

Therefore, Snake's final solution was to ban Gangplank, who performed exceptionally well in the previous game and had a 10-0 advantage against Poppy, and then pick Poppy, which solved the problem.

Of course, Poppy wasn't in a rush to be picked, so they locked in Viktor as their first pick, using the pick as a substitute for banning.

Banbazi nodded slightly when he saw Snake's choice.

This line of thinking was the most correct, and because it was correct, it did not surprise him.

"Inb, Cassiopeia or Taliyah, you choose," Banbazi said.

Taliyah is a relatively new champion released in the last few patches. Currently, she is positioned as a mid-lane champion. Her Q skill, which has not yet been nerfed, has extremely strong wave clear, and her ultimate skill also has strong roaming capabilities, so Doinb has been practicing her.

As for Cassiopeia, she is a standard choice to counter traditional mages like Viktor, but this hero's attributes are relatively more focused on farming.

Doinb actually preferred to pick Cassiopeia for farming, but then he remembered what he had said before the game.

Speed ​​it up!

"Taliyah, let's speed things up this game!" Doinb said. "I'll also speed things up a bit this time."

Doinb's words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

"Okay, QG has locked in Taliyah and Hecarim for the mid and jungle. This mid and jungle duo has great map traversal ability!" Guan Daxiao nodded in praise.

"And then there's Snake. What jungler will they pick? Gragas again! And they'll lock in Poppy!"

Then immediately after, Banbazi locked in the double polar combination, which had caused Uzi a lot of trouble in the previous game. This time, Uzi was going to turn the dragon slayer into a dragon.

In response, Snake later confirmed their lineup with Sivir and Alistar.

"Now, let's see what hero Tree will pick in the counter position," Colonel Guan said with a hint of anticipation. "Let's see what he says!"

This time, Banbazi completely handed over the choice to Chen Dongqing: "We have no shortage of output, control, and team fight initiation. You just need to pick a hero that is good against Poppy and then carry the top lane."

"Such great power?" Chen Dongqing turned around and said with a smile.

As for the hero, he had already made up his mind.

"Give me the snake woman."

The lineups for both sides are now finalized:

Blue side Snake: Top lane Poppy, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Viktor, Bot lane Sivir and Alistar.

Red team QG: Top lane Cassiopeia, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Taliyah, Bot lane Ashe and Braum.

The game officially begins!

I had some things to do today and didn't have time to write, so this is just about 9,000 words.

See you tomorrow, guys!

P.S.: Thank you to Xiaxuetianzhenhao for the 1500 Qidian coins donation.
