LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

Zz1tai slammed his fist on the table during the live stream:

"Here it comes!"

"After watching Glory's performance in the last game, Heart started targeting his champion pool!"

Letme's voice came through:

"RNG's first ban is Riven, and their second ban will most likely be Sett, who also performed brilliantly in the last match."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than RNG banned Sett for the second time.

"See, what did I tell you?"

Letme's tone carried a hint of smugness:

"Glory picked these three champions in the last game: Riven, Sett, and Vayne. RNG will definitely have to choose one of these three."

When it was TES's turn, Chieh responded quickly.

First ban, Quesanti.

The second ban is Syndra.

Remember to nod: "These two are both relatively OP heroes in the current Demacia Cup version. TES has to ban them since they don't play them themselves. It's a very standard ban."

RNG's third ban: Camille.

The moment this ban was announced, a small commotion broke out in the stadium.

Remember the voice rising:

"The first three bans were all for the top lane!"

"RNG actually chose to use three bans to target Glory!"

Tong Xi's tone carried a subtle smile:

"To be honest, this kind of treatment is usually only given to top top laners in the LPL."

"For a rookie who has only played two professional matches to be targeted like this is itself a very high level of recognition."

The screen was instantly flooded with comments.

[Three bans on top laners, what makes this newbie so special?]

Is RNG really treating Glory like TheShy when they're defending against him?

[Here's a joke: A complete rookie top laner got banned three times – only LPL has seen this, not even as well as LCK.]

[Heart: I studied TES's match replays for two days and two nights, and my conclusion is that as long as you shut down the top lane, this spinning top team will automatically explode.]

[Wasn't Vayne released?]

[VN's development cycle is too long; RNG only needs to dominate TES in the early game.]

Crystal couldn't help but gasp:

"Yare, how many games in a row has this resulted in three bans of top laners?"

  [At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name, 101kanshu.com. It's super convenient; 101kanshu.com is waiting for you to read!]

"This newcomer has truly terrified the opposing coaching staff!"

"That's normal. In the last match, IG banned three top laners, and in this match, it's RNG. What does that mean?"

Letme said seriously, "This shows that all the coaching staff in the Demacia Cup have reached a consensus..."

"We can't let Glory pick his favorite heroes. Even if we remove three from his hero pool, there are still heroes left, but at least it will make things less comfortable for him."

The first three bans for both sides have ended.

RNG (Blue Side): Riven, Sett, Camille.

Red side TES: Quesant, Syndra, Fiora.

Five of the six bans were for top laners.

The screen was already flooded with comments.

[Tears welling up, the skill level of this top laner is truly impressive!]

[Is this Demacia Cup a true test of top lane champion mediocreness?]

[Glory: Am I a newbie worth you targeting like this?]

Breathe's Fiora was also banned, and both top laners were completely targeted and neutralized.

RNG, on the blue side, immediately locked in Lucian.

"Lucian!"

"Oh? RNG first-picked Lucian?"

Remember to tweet: "This is one of the strongest AD carries in the bot lane in the Demacia Cup version. He can be paired with a variety of supports such as Nami, Braum, and Karma, making him very flexible."

Tongxi added: "It seems that RNG's strategy is very clear: limit Glory in the top lane, seize the strong combination in the bottom lane to exert pressure, and rely on Luna's advanced development to end the game in the mid-game."

When it was TES's turn to select players, Chieh's voice came through the headset.

"Proceed as planned, get Lulu and Ezreal first."

The first and second floors simultaneously illuminated, locking onto... Lulu the Fairy Witch and Ezreal the Explorer.

Even Ji De was stunned for a moment when the selection was made.

"Lulu with Ezreal? This combination doesn't seem right."

The tone of his voice held a hint of uncertainty:

"Lulu's buffs mainly increase attack speed and movement speed, while Ezreal relies on skills to deal damage, so there is almost no synergy between the two."

Tong Xi frowned: "Indeed, the only advantage of Lulu and Ezreal working together is their strong survivability and ability to hold their own in lane."

In Huya's live stream, Zita even shouted:

"Lulu paired with Ezreal?"

"What kind of incredible combination is this?"

"Big-nosed Dewdrop and blondie have absolutely no combo!"

The fans of the royal team in the live chat are already in a frenzy.

[Is this TES coaching staff just sitting around doing nothing?! Lulu paired with Ezreal? I don't care if they picked that team!]

[Hilarious! They've automatically given up on competing against RNG in the bot lane, haven't they?]

[The water ghost is speaking! Is this all your coach is capable of?]

[Glory: What did I do to deserve this? My teammates chose this to torture me.]

In the backstage lounge.

Yu Wenbo leaned back on the sofa, crossing his legs.

Beside him, Rookie stood in front of the big screen with his arms crossed, looking thoughtful.

TheShy remained seated in the corner, intently watching the large screen.

Upon seeing this bottom lane duo, Yu Wenbo narrowed his eyes.

Rookie glanced at him sideways:

"What's wrong?"

"You think this draft pick is bad?"

"It's not impossible."

Yu Wenbo shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"I have a feeling they might give the ball to the top lane this game."

Meanwhile, on the RNG players' bench.

When Heart saw TES's draft picks, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he mumbled something in Korean.

The gist is...

The opposing team doesn't know how to draft, we can easily win this game.

He barely hesitated before ordering his team to lock down Nami and the crocodile.

The Luna duo of Lucian and Nami is officially formed.

The choice of Renekton is also very deliberate. He has strong laning phase, high early burst damage, and strong ability to gank with the jungler. He can suppress any short-range top laner.

Remember to raise your voice:

"Moreover, Renekton is one of Breathe's signature heroes, giving him maximum lane dominance."

It's TES's turn on the third floor.

Chieh's voice came through the earpiece, with a hint of amusement in her tone:

"Haoyang, pick Vayne."

The moment Vayne, the Night Hunter, was locked on the third floor, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, and then erupted in a deafening gasp.

Remember the voice that immediately rose in pitch:

"Vaine! Lock Vayne on the third floor!"

"So Lulu was actually picked for the top lane!"

Tongxi's voice also became excited:

"After Glory picked Vayne in the last game, TES is now playing Vayne as their sole carry in this match!"

"What kind of trust is this?"

"What kind of courage?"

Zz1tai stood up directly from his gaming chair in the live stream:

Oh my god!!

"Even after three champions were banned in the top lane, TES still chose to hand the ball to Glory!"

Letme couldn't help but exclaim, "It's possible that Glory is truly strong and has already won over the coaching staff."

"It's rare to see a team in professional matches protecting its top laner so much during the draft phase."

AJ quietly added from the side, "But if you're playing Vayne top lane, your development period is very long!"

"Breathing Bro's Renekton might not have been as strong in the early game because he's a long-range champion."

"But can they really hold out in the early small-scale team fights?"

Heart's smile had vanished from the RNG players' bench.

He frowned and stared at Vayne, who had been revealed on the other side, for several seconds.

Should I choose Vayne on the third floor?

He clearly remembered how Neny had been completely crushed by Vayne in the last match.

But with all the ban slots used up and half of the team compositions already chosen, it's impossible to change the system on short notice.

He took a deep breath and continued on his original plan.

The subsequent business plan (BP) was relatively standard.

In the second round of bans, RNG banned the mid-lane Lissandra and the jungler Rek'Sai, limiting TES's tanky champion protection system.

TES banned Wei's signature champions Vi and Sejuani to limit his strong engage potential.

TES locked in Galio, Nightmare.

RNG's last two picks were Wukong and LeBlanc.

The final lineups for both sides were finalized.

Blue side RNG: Top laner Renekton, Jungler Wukong, Mid laner LeBlanc, ADC Lucian, Support Nami.

Red Team TES: Top lane Vayne, Jungle Nocturne, Mid lane Galio, ADC Ezreal, Support Lulu.

The live stream chat on Tiger Duck's main stage was flooded with comments.

[A four-protect-one top lane Vayne, I've never seen anything like it before, the coaching staff is truly capable.]

[What a load of crap! If this lineup is going to lose, just fire it!]

[A nostalgic return to Season 3: Royal Club's four-protect-one Uzi/Vayne strategy back then; today, TES's four-protect-one Glory top laner, Vayne—a legacy continues!]

[Don't try to scam me upstairs. You're just as bad as Uzbekistan.]

Looking at the final lineup, Zita couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Okay, okay!"

"What era are we living in? Still playing the ultimate four-protect-one strategy?"

"Nightmare turns off the lights to create an opportunity for Vayne to deal damage, Galio uses his ultimate to protect Vayne, Lulu shields and buffs attack speed, and Ezreal uses his Q from the side to deal damage..."

Crystal made a sarcastic remark in the live stream:

"Am I, Aery!"

"The classic four-protect-one strategy is on the opposing RNG!"

"Why is TES playing a four-protect-one strategy?"

P.S.: During the new book launch period, I need recommendations. I'll add more chapters depending on the situation. I humbly request all my readers to spend a little time each day reading it. If the book performs well upon release, I guarantee 10,000 words per day for a month. Thank you so much!!
