Zhao Yicheng has always had a high level of self-awareness.

Being ranked ninth in the Chinese server is indeed quite impressive under normal circumstances.

But viewers forget it as soon as they see it; no one will remember the name of a trainee from the youth training camp.

If you want people to remember you, you have to put on a serious performance in a serious game.

Today, he is sitting across from the world's number one team, with millions of eyes across the country watching the live broadcast. This is undoubtedly his first real chance to make a name for himself.

The young man took another deep breath.

He turned his head and glanced at his four teammates beside him.

Although these four people had only spent a few days together, Zhao Yicheng knew in his heart that they were all very strong.

It's ridiculously strong.

One is a top laner whose laning dominance is recognized as the best in the world, and the other is a well-rounded player who is a top student who was personally told by the person in charge that he could become the successor to the number one player in LOL. Even if he is slightly inferior in the jungle and support roles, he can be called a genius in the outside world.

The five of them, though their teamwork was clumsy and their experience was indeed lacking, faced a monster-level opponent like HWG.

but--

As the person in charge said, the focus today is not on winning or losing!

of course.

He wants to win!

I want to win more than anyone else.

Or rather, he knew it would be hard to win, but he wanted to make a name for himself so that the five opponents, the millions of viewers in the live stream, and everyone who would ever watch the replay of this match would remember the name Zhao Yicheng.

"Guys, how about focusing on the bottom half of the map this game?"

Zhao Yicheng took the initiative to speak, asking the person in the middle lane for advice.

Among the five, top laner Qin Yijie is a typical warrior-type player, with his mid laner as the core. The jungle and support duo need no further explanation. Given their inferiority in terms of game version and individual skill, they naturally wouldn't compete for that spot.

"reason?"

Fang Han neither agreed nor refused directly, but instead asked his own AD for the reason.

It wasn't for him, but for the others.

"HWG's strength lies in their top, mid, and jungle; we can't compete head-on in the top half of the map," Zhao Yicheng said.

"Old Thief's playstyle is relatively stable. If we can create an opening in the bottom half of the map in the early game... even if we don't win the game, at least we won't collapse in the early game."

Fang Han nodded, agreeing with Zhao Yicheng's suggestion, without dwelling on whether the other party wanted to use this opportunity to show off something to the outside world.

After spending a week together, everyone had a general understanding of each other's personalities. Xiao Zhao wasn't the impulsive type.

"For the early game in the bottom half of the map, which hero do you want to pick?"

"Um!"

"That's quite a feat."

"If we don't fight, we won't have a chance."

"Haha, that's true."

Fang Han smiled, then turned to the other three. "What are your opinions?"

Qin Yijie was the first to speak up, "I have no objection. Resilience is a required course anyway, as long as you don't really let me run wild and treat me like I'm living a carefree life."

Fan You and Xiao Wu both gave affirmative answers.

"Focusing on the lower half of the bracket is the right move. Although Lao Qin and Lao Fang are strong enough, they are not much different from E God and Ta Zi Ge in the upper half of the bracket.

"Hehe, if we can crush the bottom lane in the early game, our rating will definitely be maxed out."

Once the strategy was finalized, the group immediately raised their hands to signal to the host.

"Ready?"

"OK!"

With the youth training program confirmed, the HWG main team didn't hesitate either.

A few minutes later, the game officially began.

Regarding the lineups, both sides have chosen the following:

Blue side HWG;

Top lane Shen, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane Kassadin, bot lane Caitlyn and Thresh!

Purple Team Youth Training Team:

Top lane Riven, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Ahri, bot lane Draven and Blitzcrank!

The moment the matchup was revealed, the live chat went wild again.

[Okay, okay, HWG isn't even putting on an act anymore, they're just going all out.]

[What does this mean, E-God? What are you trying to do? You were so scareful against the weaker teams, but then you chose these combinations against the strongest team?]

[It's really a bit ridiculous. Shen can hold his own against Riven in the top lane, Kassadin can't handle Ahri in the mid lane, and even Lee Sin can dominate Jarvan IV in the jungle. Even in the seemingly even bot lane, Caitlyn's burst damage is no match for Draven.]

[To put it another way, is it precisely because the fourth group is so strong that HGW was willing to give them more room to perform?]

The explanation is ridiculous, but it seems like there's no other reason besides this.

"How so? Should we change our strategy?"

The countdown disappeared little by little on the screen.

Xiao Wu was a little impatient and asked the others.

The top, mid, and jungle composition of Shen, Jarvan IV, and Kassadin doesn't seem like it could compete head-on with stat-heavy champions like Riven, Lee Sin, and Ahri in the early game.

Therefore, he was somewhat conflicted about whether to continue with the previously decided tactic of focusing on attacking the lower half of the draw.

Qin Yijie replied, "I don't care, I'll listen to Lao Fang."

Fan You and Zhao Yijie then turned their attention to the mid-laner's position.

"A last-minute change is inappropriate!"

Despite the stares of his teammates, Fang Han remained composed.

"Our lineup was finalized from the beginning. We picked strong champions for the top, mid, and jungle to avoid being overwhelmed in the laning phase, and the bot lane relied on Draven's snowballing ability to quickly get into the rhythm and avoid being dragged into HWG's preferred macro-play style."

"Furthermore, HGW's strength is evident to all, and such a lineup has been selected before in the LPL league."

"None of you are arrogant or conceited. As for our current skill level, we can hold our own in lane, but we are still far behind professional teams in terms of overall team synergy and operational experience. Even LPL teams were utterly defeated by HWG, so how much better can we be?"

"So, since the home team has given us a rare opportunity to perform, we should try our best to seize it."

"With the top, mid, and jungle lanes leading, we are very likely to gain an advantage in small skirmishes, creating opportunities for Lao Fan's Lee Sin to break through the bottom lane."

"good!"

"I'll listen to you."

……

HWG team.

"Boss, are we really going to give these brats all that face?"

After selecting his hero, Zhang Hai asked with a grin.

"Exactly," White Crescent commented from the side, "With this draft, I don't know how any other team would win."

Lin Shu did not answer the questions about the casual conversation. After the business card meeting ended, with little time remaining, he directly instructed the group:

"Let's talk about the strategy in the early game."

"We proactively gave up control of the bottom half of the map to avoid conflicts in the bottom lane, giving the young Draven players enough room to maneuver and see if the rookies can gain lane dominance or even a kill advantage."

"I don't have any special requirements for the upper half of the bracket. Xiao Hai and Xiao Li, the ten-minute mark is the dividing line. If either of you gets broken through by the other side, you'll have to do two extra hours of training when you get back today."

Zhang Hai: "!!!"

(My mother-in-law was sick during the day and I was at the hospital taking care of her, so I didn't have time to write. I apologize to everyone.)
