League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 272: Galio again?

Back in the lounge, Shi Senming looked up and saw the MVP of the game being announced on the large screen.

Almost without any suspense, the MVP of this game was awarded to Shi Senming.

1-0-13的KD，87.5%的参团率，25%的承伤占比。

Another crucial statistic: MVP: 1 (1), which means that this is Shi Senming's first MVP in the playoffs and also in this MSI.

Shi Senming immediately burst into laughter.

But if you've been watching QG's matches, you'll know that this is Shi Senming's first MVP since joining the team.

His teammates were so outstanding, each one a mechanical genius and a damage king, that the support player barely got any screen time on this team.

Now, Shi Senming has finally made a breakthrough from zero to one in the MSI finals, which can be considered a milestone.

Standing to the side, Linko looked at the MVP screen in front of him and felt a pang of emotion.

He recalled that during the transfer period a few months ago, it was Chen Dongqing who specifically requested this young support player from LSPL, saying that the player had great potential.

At the time, the club staff had some doubts about this choice, after all, he was just an LSPL player, how good could he be?

Later, Shi Senming proved through training matches and daily performance that he indeed possessed LPL-level strength, and the club finally confirmed his acceptance.

However, longtime QG fans were not very satisfied with this support player, feeling that he was not as good as Liu Qingsong.

However, Shi Senming proved with an MVP in the MSI finals that he is definitely not bad, that he has a high enough ceiling, and that he can even go head-to-head with the FMVP.

This is where the problem arises.

How did Chen Dongqing know about this B?

"Not bad, not bad." At this moment, Chen Dongqing patted Shi Senming on the shoulder, "If you go all out again, you'll be the FMVP."

FMVP?

A word flashed through Shi Senming's mind, but he quickly shook his head and dismissed it.

This is too high-end; I really can't even imagine it.

Coach Cui then came over to praise Shi Senming's performance in this game, and then turned around to discuss the draft for the next game: "We only have one more game to go, everyone give it your all! Let's try to win the next game!"

"Although we'll be on the red side in the next game, we should have already forced Galio to be banned in this game, so we should still have the advantage in the draft phase in the next match."

Banbazi explained the current situation of this draft in detail, making his arguments logical and convincing.

Even Linko, who was listening from the sidelines, felt that the championship was already in the bag.

After the discussion, Banbazi closed his notebook and confidently said, "So, for the next game, we'll let them have Jayce, okay?"

"No problem!" Gao Deweimo clenched his fists, full of confidence!

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the KT lounge.

Everyone was also discussing the draft picks for the next game.

The core issue they were discussing was quite simple: should Galio be banned?

The coach still thinks Galio should be banned, since Galio was a major problem in the two games they lost.

Whether it's the hero's control attributes, wave clear ability, or the draft issues caused by the mid-support flex pick/pick system, KT has a hard time solving these problems.

The problem is that if they ban Galio, they will be at a disadvantage in the draft phase, which means that their blue side's draft advantage will be completely lost.

To put it another way, which hero to release is also a problem.

Fiora is a must-ban champion, and besides that, Caitlyn and Kennen are also quite troublesome for them.

They usually use Gnar to counter Kennen, but the group stage results proved that Smeb's Gnar works against other people's Kennen, but not against Ilex's.

If Kennan can't handle it, then he'll have to release the policewoman.

Mata thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we can let the enemy Caitlyn take the bot lane. You can give me Karma to secure lane priority. I can guarantee that the enemy Caitlyn won't be able to push down the bot lane tower in a short time."

KT's coach countered, "But will that really stop Uzi's Caitlyn?"

Mata was speechless.

Karma can only be used to limit QG's female police officer system in the short term, but it is pure nonsense to think that she can completely shut down QG's female police officer system.

KT's coach slapped his head with his laptop, feeling like his head was about to explode.

In all his years in the industry, this was the first time he had encountered such a tricky business plan.

The only question now is whether to ban Caitlyn or Galio.

"How about we first pick Galio?" Smeb suddenly asked.

KT's Galio can also be played in the mid or top lane; if you pick him and then ban him, it's not a bad idea.

KT's coach shook his head and said, "We can get the first pick, but Jayce can't handle it!"

The rule for the first three games was that QG banned Jayce to counter KT's Jayce flex pick, while KT banned Kennen.

However, if they discover that KT has the intention to pick Galio, then QG can simply release Jayce and pick him themselves, which would be even more unsolvable.

Pawn suddenly spoke up, "If the enemy lets us have Jayce, then we can just pick Jayce, right? We can invade their jungle directly. If we both get the team compositions we're good at, I don't think we have anything to fear!"

KT's coach scratched his head, turned around, and asked, "Is that so?"

The KT members all nodded.

Smeb boldly declared, "Don't worry, we can do it! We definitely won't lose this lane!"

Although Smeb has lost to Chen Dongqing many times, he always has the confidence to handle Ilex.

"Is that so?" The coach scratched his head, scribbled in his notebook, analyzed for a long time, and then nodded, "Then that's the only way."

The break time passed quickly, and after both players took the stage, the fourth round of banning and drafting began soon!

The 60,000 spectators in the stands were in high spirits, cheering and applauding!

As for the draft phase, both sides were very quick to make changes, because after the first three games, their draft strategies were basically fixed, and minor adjustments could not change their basic approach.

For example, KT on the blue side still chose to ban Caitlyn, Fiora, and Kennen, exactly the same as in the previous two games.

The three LPL commentators were immediately baffled when they saw Kennen banned.

Why aren't you banning Galio yet?

Not only were the LPL commentators confused, but the LCK commentators were confused too.

At this point, the live stream was filled with question marks, and everyone was expressing their confusion.

The Roaring Emperor's voice rose noticeably: "Really!? You're really not banning Galio?"

Kim Dong-jun chimed in, "I think KT might be aiming for a first pick; their Galio is a good option too!"

Meanwhile, the QG players looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Are you really that stubborn?" Chen Dongqing scratched his head. "Then you've already won this round, haven't you?"

Banbazi then said, "That's not right either. They might be trying to steal Galio. If they steal Galio, they won't be able to get Camille."

When QG members heard this, they all felt that it made sense.

Just then, Chen Dongqing suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "Then why don't we just let Jayce out? Let the enemy choose between Jayce and Galio, how about that?"

"Their Jayce is a top/mid flex pick," Banbazi asked. "Are you sure you can handle their Jayce?"

Chen Dongqing patted his chest: "Don't worry, I can definitely handle it! I have a million heroes to fight Jayce!"

Banbazi then looked at Godey.

The coach is never worried about Chen Dongqing's hero pool; his concern is that the mid-lane won't be able to handle the situation.

After all, the mid-lane Jayce was only revealed last night, leaving GodV with only one night to prepare, which was too short.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Dewei said firmly, "No problem!"

He trained specifically for this Jayce for five or six hours straight! That's enough!

"Then let it go!"

At this point, QG had already banned Poppy and Zyra in their first two picks, and in this last pick, they chose to respect that and banned Mata's Thresh.

At this moment, it's as if the coaching staffs of both sides are having a conversation.

Banbazi posed a question to KT: "I've let Jayce through, do you dare to pick him? A head-on clash, are you brave enough?"

KT's answer was: Yes!

On the first floor of KT, Jess quickly locked onto the target!

QG, without hesitation, locked in Camille and Galio!

This perfect teamfight initiation combination helped QG win two games, and most importantly, both of these heroes are flexible, making them the most suitable picks in the first two rounds!

Of course, Galio's flexibility is limited in this game, because KT is likely to play Jayce in the mid lane, and sending Galio to the mid lane would just mean getting beaten up.

Of course, correspondingly, KT's Jayce doesn't have much room for flexibility and can basically only hit mid.

Camille isn't very effective against other champions, but she's incredibly effective against Jayce, and with the help of a jungler, she can completely dominate Jayce.

If KT dares to put Jayce in the top lane, it's tantamount to suicide.

Immediately afterwards, both sides continued to make their picks. KT made their second pick very quickly, immediately locking in an Ashe and Karma combo, which is the strongest combination in this version and can almost guarantee the bottom lane priority.

Karma also has some roaming attributes, which can bring out Mata's strengths.

They came to QG to make their third selection.

Having reached this point, QG stopped hiding their true intentions and revealed their true colors!

A portrait of a hero appears in the center of the image and locks onto it rapidly.

The hero's artwork is extremely powerful; a white-haired, armored Valkyrie wielding a curved weapon kneels on the ground, looking quite menacing.

Diana, the goddess of the moon!

"Diana?!" Even the commentator, Wawa, was completely astonished. "What is this? QG came prepared!"

"Diana versus Jayce?" Miller did a quick mental simulation, but came up with no result, so he simply said, "That sounds promising!"

Of course there's something special about it; this is Gao Dewei's unique killer move against mid-lane Jayce.

Once Diana reaches level six and unlocks her ultimate ability, Luna Dash, Jayce will never be a match for her again!

Even Chen Dongqing's Jayce, if he wants to solo beat Godway's Diana, he can only gain a significant advantage before level six; after level six, it's up to him.

KT was collectively terrified when they saw this pick.

To be honest, they didn't really know what kind of strategy Diana would play against Jayce in lane, since Diana is such a rare mid-laner.

But all they knew was that if QG picked any strange heroes, it was definitely a big conspiracy!

But does KT have any other options?

They had no choice but to trust their own Jayce.

Entering the second round of ban/pick, both sides made their choices quickly once again.

The red team, QG, picked a Twitch AD carry as their fourth pick, effectively shutting down Camille's top and jungle roster until the very end.

KT had absolutely no way to deal with this situation, and in the end they decided to trust themselves and lock in Shen and Lee Sin.

Just like in the final game against Flash Wolves last night, KT once again adopted the jungle invasion strategy in this do-or-die game. The mid laner Jayce provided lane priority and support, while the jungler was the main invader. As for Shen in the top lane, he was only responsible for withstanding pressure and providing his ultimate.

KT didn't have much of a solution, since Camille was still undecided and they really couldn't pick a top laner. In the end, they could only pick Shen, who fit their tactics and wasn't afraid of Camille, which was already the best solution.

Of course, Chen Dongqing's champion pool is almost infinitely wide, and he has a hundred ways to counter Shen in the top lane.

Considering it's the MSI finals today, Chen Dongqing decided to bring out a hero he'd never used before.

QG's fifth-floor hero lights up rapidly.

Quinn, the Wings of Demacia!

Another bizarre hero has appeared!

A distinct gasp rippled through the audience, everyone expressing bewilderment at QG's recent moves.

Choose Diana on the third floor, Rat on the fourth floor, and Quinn on the fifth floor.

Can your business plans be a little more reliable?

"What heroes is QG picking?!" the Roaring Emperor shouted. "Are they crazy?"

While the Roaring Emperor was still roaring, the two sides had already switched positions and the lineups were finalized.

Kim Dong-jun glanced at the lineups of both sides.

Blue side KT: Top lane Shen, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Jayce, Bot lane Ashe and Karma.

Red team QG: Top lane Quinn, Jungle Camille, Mid lane Diana, Bot lane Twitch and Galio.

The difference in the lineups between the two sides is obvious at a glance.

KT, the blue team, has a reasonable lineup composition, clear rhythm, and both initiation and protection, showing they are well-trained.

As for QG on the red side, their pick was inexplicable and incomprehensible; it felt like they just randomly chose a lineup for a ranked match.

Oh no, this lineup probably hasn't even appeared in ranked games yet, since Camille jungle is a newly introduced strategy.

With such a terrible lineup, how could they possibly beat KT, the strongest team in Korea?

The three LCK commentators absolutely refused to believe it!

"Believe in KT!" the roaring emperor roared again. "They are the pride of us Koreans!"

Kim Dong-jun nodded, "Good luck, KT!"

Amid cheers from the LCK commentators, the two coaches shook hands in the center of the stage, and the fourth game entered its countdown phase!

During this time, the director switched to impromptu interviews with the players conducted before today's competition.

This is something that many regional finals do. For example, they interview both teams' players before the match, and when one team gets match point, they will switch to interview the players of that team in the next game to boost the morale of the fans.

But this is the first time it has happened on the international stage.

It's clear that the team being interviewed is QG.

The scene shifts, and Chen Dongqing's handsome face appears before your eyes.

The Brazilian broadcaster asked from the sidelines, "Can you predict the score of this match?"

"QG wins 3-1." Chen Dongqing said with a smile, "In my opinion, KT has no real weaknesses, but they also don't have any real strengths. I think getting even one point is their limit, so let's say 3-1."

Amidst laughter from the audience, the Brazilian director continued, "Is there anything you'd like to say to Smeb?"

Chen Dongqing replied without hesitation: "I have nothing to say to my defeated opponent; I will crush him with my strength."

Congratulations to JDG on winning the MSI championship!

It's a real shame that BLG overcame two major obstacles but didn't make it to the end.

The difference is purely in the mid lane; the toothpaste mark was on the left hand, there's nothing that can be done.

In the last game, Toothpaste was completely outmatched. He picked Sylas against Jayce, putting him at a disadvantage in the laning phase, and even used his E on Jayce's face at level one. How dare he do that?

From the moment he used that E skill, whether it hit a human or a minion, the mid-lane laning phase was essentially over.

JDG is awesome! Good luck to BLG in the Summer Split too!

Sorry, there are fewer available today.

I didn't have time to write during the day, and I have to watch the game when I get home in the evening. Plus, I'm having some writer's block on the draft phase of this chapter, so I don't know how to continue.

With the update time fast approaching, I racked my brains and could only come up with this one business plan.

There's really nothing I can do. I can only say see you guys tomorrow.

PS: Thank you to Shen Jianxin, the best performer of the night, for the 100 Qidian Coins donation.

Thanks to Ruogan for the 1557 Qidian Coins reward (you little rascal!)
