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

Heart looked serious in the RNG players' box.

The loss in the previous game made the South Korean coach lose face.

While the players were indeed playing too relaxed, he's not the kind of coach who only knows how to order takeout...

It's impossible for someone to reach the position of head coach at RNG without having some real talent.

He had already anticipated the opponent's tactical intentions.

It's simply relying on that young top laner's hot streak to give all the ball to the top laner.

He had thoroughly studied Glory's hero pool off the field; from scrims to the main event, this kid had used a total of six heroes...

Camille, Sett, Riven, Vayne, Malphite, Nasus.

Each of them delivered an extremely impressive performance, especially those skill-intensive heroes, who dominated the lane and carried the team fights.

He doesn't look like a newcomer who has just turned eighteen at all.

But he wasn't without a capable coach, who quickly devised a solution...

Heart walked over to Breathe, leaned down, and whispered, "Can I play Fiora or Renekton this game?"

Breathe was seething with anger.

In the last game, he was completely outplayed by a rookie using Vayne, going 0-8 and becoming a complete mess. His Hupu rating dropped to 2.1.

He hasn't even checked his Weibo private messages yet, but he knows they're all asking when he's retiring.

Damn it!

  

I'm Niu Guli! I'm number one in the world!

They should not be insulted like this by such a junior!

He looked up, his eyes filled with displeasure.

"You can play either of them."

"Vayne can be left alone, I can play Jax."

"I want him to understand that the last game was just an accident."

Heart nodded, straightened up, and glanced at the tactics board.

"Ban Sett, Camille, Vayne."

His thinking was very clear.

Sett has a very high margin for error; he can withstand pressure in lane and initiate team fights. This versatile player shouldn't be allowed to be picked up by the enemy.

Camille's ability to initiate fights is too strong; when combined with Galio or Vi, it leaves the team's backline with absolutely no chance of survival.

As for Vayne... her pentakill in the last game already says it all. If you can't kill her in the early game, she's a monster in the late game.

As for the remaining three?

Nasus and Malphite are too weak online; there are plenty of ways to counter them in professional matches.

Riven is a threat, but Heart has already prepared a backup plan.

If the opposing team dares to pick Riven in the first three picks, he will immediately pick Renekton or Fiora as a counter.

In the commentary booth, Ji Ke looked at the ban list that popped up on the screen and raised his voice a few decibels:

"Oh! RNG's coaching staff has adjusted their first three bans!"

"They let Riven out and banned Vayne instead!"

Tongxi chimed in, "Judging from the situation, it seems there was some kind of plan involved."

"Glory's Vayne in the last game was really outstanding, with a pentakill stat, RNG can't just sit idly by and not make adjustments."

"And to be honest, although Riven is also one of Glory's signature champions, compared to Vayne, who is an unstoppable late-game carry, Riven's influence is still somewhat limited."

That makes sense.

Remember nodded: "Now it's up to the TES coaching staff to deal with this."

TES players' bench.

Chieh frowned slightly as he looked at the bans on the opposing team.

Sett, Camille, Vayne.

The opposing team has adjusted their strategy and released Riven, but this is clearly a trap... If you pick Riven, the opposing team will most likely have a counter-pick.

"How is it?"

"Should we ban Fiora and Renekton and pick Riven instead?"

Chieh looked down and asked Li Hu.

As for the rock golem and the dog head, he ruled them out immediately.

This is a professional esports arena, not the ranked ladder in the Chinese Super Server.

With the team's entire tactical system relying on Li Hu to carry the team...

Super minion heroes like Malphite and heroes with long development cycles like Nasus are simply not enough to carry the game.

Li Hu glanced at the opposing team's bans and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He probably guessed Heart's plan.

Let Riven go, lure TES to pick her, then counter with Renekton or Fiora.

"No need, Coach."

"Let's execute Plan B."

Chieh's eyes flashed, and then she nodded.

TES's first three bans: Quesant, Syndra, and Lucian.

Two versions of OP, one of which is a lane bully, both are decent but not outstanding.

RNG (blue side) instantly locked in Zeli on the first floor.

"Zeli!"

Remember's voice rose: "This is one of the strongest AD picks for the bot lane in the current version. RNG immediately picked it, clearly intending to establish an advantage in the bot lane."

When it was TES's turn to pick, the first and second picks were revealed simultaneously and locked in.

Vi, the Piltover Enforcer.

Galio, the Colossus of Justice.

"Viga Galio!"

I remember speaking very fast:

"This is a classic lock-on system. Vi's ultimate locks onto the enemy's carry, Galio follows up, and a full control chain is executed, making it extremely threatening in mid-game team fights."

On the RNG player bench, Heart saw the two heroes and a smile appeared on his lips.

He had expected this.

The Vi-Gallio combo is indeed powerful, but it's not difficult to counter.

He lowered his head and said a few words to his teammates.

The Fairy Witch Lulu is locked up on the second floor.

Lock up Noxian General Swain on the third floor.

In the commentary booth, I remember directly praising this draft pick:

"These two choices were absolutely brilliant!"

"Lulu's Polymorph can perfectly limit Vi's engage, and mid-lane Swain not only counters Galio in lane..."

"Galio is a melee champion, while Swain is a ranged champion. Galio will be heavily pressured during the laning phase."

"Furthermore, once Swain activates his ultimate, Demonic Ascension, he can perfectly limit TES's mid and jungle engage composition."

"TES' mid and jungle rushing in is just to let Swain drain their life."

"Coach Heart's two moves are definitely something."

Tongxi added, "Moreover, these two heroes are also very strong in team fights."

"Lulu protects the backline, Swain tanks the frontline, and with Zephyr's sustained damage, RNG's teamfight potential is extremely high."

TES locked down Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, on the third floor.

After the player selection process ended, both sides entered the second round of banning.

Tiger Duck Platform, Four Dogs Live Streaming Room.

He stared intently at the BP interface on the screen, his brows furrowed.

"What the heck? TES didn't give Glory any champions in the first three picks?!"

"Does that mean Riven will definitely be banned?"

"What is this coach thinking?"

Crystal: "Yeah, the TES coaching staff is being a bit disrespectful to RNG."

"Isn't leaving Riven out there a clear indication that she'll be banned?"

"He has committed the sin of arrogance and will likely be punished by the gods."

AJ chimed in, "Unless RNG's coaching staff is completely idiot, they'll definitely ban both Raven and Shitou next, leaving Glory utterly dumbfounded!"

Letme shook his head:

"This is it, we're doomed."

"Does that mean the dog's head is coming?"

"The invincible giant dog that Master Tai was talking about?"

The comments section was also filled with complaints.

[The classic TES coaching staff!]

[Classic BSYY, get out of class right now, White Crescent!]

[Upstairs, Tie Yunzi, that's the second team coach, Chieh. BSYY didn't even come to the Demacia Cup.]

[Whoever it is, this draft is infuriating. Why didn't they let the carry pick a champion in the first three picks?]

As expected, things went exactly as everyone predicted on the field.

In the second round of bans, RNG directly banned Riven and Malphite.

"Five bans on top laners!"

I remember the rousing voices echoing throughout the venue:

"On the Demacia Cup semifinals stage, we actually witnessed five bans on top laners!"

Just how much pressure did Glory exert on RNG?!

Tong Xi's tone was also clearly filled with shock:

"To be honest, it's extremely rare in LPL history for a newcomer to be banned five times in the top lane on the Demacia Cup stage."

"This not only shows that Glory's champion pool is difficult for RNG to deal with, but also shows that RNG's coaching staff attaches the highest level of importance to him."

On TES's side, Chieh countered by banning Fiora and Sejuani, limiting RNG's top and jungle champion pool, and then locked in Braum, the Heart of Freljord, on the fourth pick.

It's RNG's turn to pick players.

Lock down the fourth floor with Ruin King Foyer, in the jungle role.

The fifth floor hesitated for nearly twenty seconds before finally revealing a hero that surprised everyone...

Kennen, the Heart of the Storm.

"Kennan!"

Remember the voice rising:

"Breathe picked Kennan in the fifth-floor contest!"

"Are they trying to compete with Glory in team fights?"

He slammed his hand on the table:

"Breathe actually picked Kennen."

"But TES's top laner hasn't been released yet!"

"Breathe's Kennen pick was incredibly confident!"

Crystal narrowed his eyes: "Indeed confident. Kennen's laning strength is not low, and his team fight ability is top-notch. This pick is flawless."

AJ added from the side, "Now we'll see how Glory responds."

He took a deep breath, his tone filled with anticipation:

"How so?"

"Is Glory going to put on a show with his invincible giant dog?"

All eyes were focused on the fifth floor of TES.

The hero's image, which hadn't yet lit up, tugged at the heartstrings of the entire venue.

Li Hu glanced at Chieh.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

A logo slowly lit up on the fifth floor of TES. The moment it was locked, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, and then erupted in a deafening gasp.

Caitlyn, the Piltover Policewoman.

"A policewoman?!"

The voice I remember cracked completely:

"TES locked in Caitlyn on the fifth floor! What kind of lineup is this?!"

The chat rooms of all the live streams were instantly flooded with question marks.

【？？？？？】

What the heck is this "female police officer"? Top lane female police officer or AD female police officer?

Isn't Varus an AD carry? Why is there a female police officer here??

What is TES doing??

He stared blankly at the screen, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a large egg.

"A female police officer? What's that?"
