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

Chapter 36: BIN, does your double eyelid hurt?

This statement directly steered the conversation in another direction.

What happened to Bin? He was a World Championship runner-up, an MSI champion, and he didn't even win the Glory Demacia Cup.

[The world championship runner-up, the runner-up who was beaten like a dog by Niu Guli?]

Stop trying to piggyback on Bin's success. If you're already this hyped up after the Demacia Cup semifinals, don't cry when the LPL gets a taste of their own medicine.

[Exactly, besides Bin, who else in the LPL's top lane can carry the torch for Hua Zi? 369? Huang? Flandre? Or Breath?]

[So we need a Glory! Isn't Wei reporting Glory just an attempt to destroy LPL's hopes of defeating Zeus?]

[Don't unfairly criticize Wei; he was just going through the motions...]

The chat was in an uproar, with arguments ranging from cheating to character, and from character to the future of the competition.

This is the kind of turn-based game that League of Legends viewers play when they're behind and when they're ahead.

There's no such thing as a top-three team here, BIN, does your double eyelid hurt...? It's all about pure, exhilarating combat!

Tiger Duck Platform, Four Dogs Live Streaming Room.

He stared intently at the rhythm of the comments on the screen, his brow furrowed.

"Ahem, well, guys, the draft phase has started. Let's watch the game, let's watch the game."

He decisively chose to play dead.

Reading the bullet comments at this point is like playing with fire.

He read the comments from haters, and fans cursed at him.

He read out the fans' comments, and the haters cursed at him.

As a seasoned master of balancing, Zita knows that the best strategy at this moment is to focus on the commentary and ignore worldly affairs.

Crystal was there to provide perfect support:

"Aree!"

"RNG's ban picks this game are a bit strange. Why didn't they ban the top laner?"

The four dogs tacitly chose to participate in an awkward chat competition.

  

RNG players' bench.

Heart looked at the somber atmosphere in the team and sighed silently in her heart.

Breathe was dejected.

Wei's face was indifferent.

Tangyuan was at a loss.

UGLY and Bunny in the bottom lane were also out of sorts. The two rookies were so badly affected by the crushing defeats in the first two games that they even started communicating less.

This RNG team's fate is sealed.

Heart knew this better than anyone else.

If this were an LPL regular season match, he might try a pep talk, giving the players some encouragement to see if he could turn things around.

But this is the Demacia Cup, and it's the third game of a best-of-five series.

The opposing team is leading 2-0, holding three match points, and their morale is high.

However, Heart did not give up.

He understood that targeting the top laner at this point would be pointless.

There's simply not enough bans.

Glory's hero pool has been proven to be bottomless in the first two games... at least in this Demacia Cup.

Instead of wasting ban slots on the top lane, we should try a different approach.

Let the top laner pick a tanky champion to stabilize the lane, and then try to break through from other lanes.

TES's biggest weakness is its two rookies in the mid and bot lanes.

If they can break through TES's mid and bot lanes, even if Glory can carry, he can't withstand the collapse of the entire team by himself.

Heart took a deep breath and readjusted his BP strategy.

RNG (blue side) banned the following champions in their first three bans: Heimerdinger, Caitlyn, and Zephyr.

All three ban slots were given to the bot lane.

In the commentary booth, Ji De's tone was filled with surprise.

"RNG actually chose to ban three bot lane lanes!"

"There are no more hero pool targets for Glory!"

"Vayne, Varus, Riven, Sett, Camille... all the champions Glory used before have been released!"

Tongxi chimed in, her tone filled with anticipation:

"To be honest, this strategic shift is very bold, but it may indeed be the best solution for RNG in the current situation."

"Since we can't restrict it on the main road, we might as well allocate resources to other roads."

TES followed a conventional approach, banning three champions in the first three rounds: Quesant, Syndra, and Lucian, all of which are currently OP champions, a fairly standard approach.

RNG, on the blue side, instantly locked in Sion on the first pick.

Breathe's expression was rather unpleasant.

He is a top laner known for his lightly armored warriors.

Fiora, Camille, and Gnar are his comfort zone.

But now the coach is telling him to pick Sion, which is basically telling him: you can't beat the opponent, so pick a tank to carry.

But Breathy couldn't refute it.

In the first two games, he played a 0-8 Renekton and a 0-6 Kennen, and he couldn't bring himself to say "I can carry".

He could only nod in the end and lock down the undead war god, Sion.

Remember to raise your voice: "Breathe picked a pure tank frontline this game, clearly intending to hold the lane and let his teammates take the lead!"

Zita hissed, "Brazer has completely given up on the fight. Sion against Camille is just a guaranteed beating."

"There's nothing I can do, Master Tai."

Crystal Brother Bear shrugged: "What can I do if I don't give up?"

"If we send in another soldier, won't they just get whipped around like a spinning top?"

"Sion is tanky and durable, so dying once or twice won't affect his role in team fights."

Letme nodded: "A rational choice."

"RNG's top lane is just trying not to collapse right now; the real key to victory lies with the bot lane's Xayah and Rakan."

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

"Blue Steel Shadow".

The first floor displayed a picture of Blue Steel Shadow and locked it.

Galio was locked down on the second floor almost simultaneously.

Remembering the voice rose a few decibels:

"TES has picked Camille and Galio!"

"This combination has appeared before in this Demacia Cup; it has a very high margin for error while also possessing very strong individual burst damage potential!"

RNG's second and third floors, Xayah and Rakan combination locked in.

Reverse Feather Clouds, Illusory Feather Luo.

This is one of the strongest bot lane duos in the current version. They have strong laning ability, high teamfight survivability, and Rakan's strong engage can provide the team with early and mid-game tempo.

The fact that UGLY and Bunny chose these two heroes shows that Heart still wants to make a final stand.

TES locked in Graves, the Outlaw jungler, on the third floor.

Xiaofang has practiced Graves a lot in scrims. Although he's not as good as his Vi, he's still quite skilled.

In the second round of bans, RNG banned Lena and Sivir in the fourth and fifth picks, while TES banned Taliyah and Lee Sin.

TES locked up Draven, the Executioner of Honor, on the fourth floor.

The appearance of this hero caused a small commotion in the stadium.

"Draven!"

Tongxi exclaimed, "JiaQi pulled out Draven in the match point game! He's going to dominate the bot lane!"

The live chat exploded instantly:

[TES' lineup is incredibly aggressive!]

[Camille, Galio, and Draven: Are they trying to overwhelm RNG's bot lane?]

Draven is a typical tightrope walker; he's invincible when ahead, but a super minion when behind.

RNG locked down Ryze and Wukong on the fourth and fifth floors.

Ryze mid, Wukong jungle.

One provides split-pushing and support, while the other provides aggressive engagement and backline targeting.

RNG's roster framework is basically complete...

With Sion and Wukong as the front line, Ryze and Xayah provide sustained damage, and Rakan is responsible for initiating team fights and protecting the enemy.

On the fifth floor of TES, the deep-sea titan Nautilus is locked up.

The hero positions have been finalized, and both teams have confirmed their lineups.

Blue side: RNG vs. ES: Red side

Top Lane: Undead Warrior vs. Camille

[Jungle: Monkey King vs. Lawbreaker]

Mid Lane: Ryze vs. Colossus

[AD: Reverse Feather vs. Glorious Executioner]

[Support: Phantom Dancer vs. Deep Sea Titan]

Remember to start analyzing the lineup:

Overall, RNG's lineup in this game was much more balanced than in the previous two games.

"With a front line, initiation capabilities, and sustained damage, Ryze can also provide split-pushing ability."

"If they can hold their ground in the early game, they'll have a fighting chance in the mid-to-late game."

"Moreover, Sion is a champion that is very difficult to kill in lane and has extremely strong resilience."

"As long as Breathe doesn't give her the chance, it won't be easy for Camille to solo kill Sion."

Tongxi chimed in, her tone filled with anticipation:

"TES, on the other hand, still uses the familiar mid-top-jungle system, with the top-mid-jungle-support control chain combo. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can instantly kill the enemy."

"Especially the Camille and Galio combination, their threat to the backline is deadly."

"However, in this game, RNG's bot lane is Xayah and Rakan. After reaching level six and acquiring their ultimate abilities, their survivability is much stronger than in the previous two games."

He scratched his head.

"RNG's lineup selection this game is pretty good. Sion can stabilize the early game, and the mid and bot lanes can farm well. This may be the best lineup RNG has in the three games."

Crystal Bro: "Yare, indeed."

"But the problem is, RNG's mentality has collapsed. What's the use of a good lineup if their mentality doesn't recover?"

Letme: "To be honest, this game depends on whether Wei and Tangyuan can step up."

"Heart gave them Ryze and Monkey, so they could set the pace."

"If those two keep sleepwalking, RNG is doomed this game."

AJ: "Hey, I suddenly have a question."

"Breathe is finally out of jail this game, playing Sion is a sure thing."

"But can Sion control Camille?"

He paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"Shut up, you big slut. Open your profile and take a look at your live streaming guild."

"But you're right about one thing."

"Glory's Camille, who had been banned for five consecutive games, has finally been released."

"He's like a virgin who's been holding back for a month..."

Do you know what I mean?

A bizarre comment from Zita's live stream flashed by:

[I understand, Glory! He's shooting deep into the Breathe beaker, shooting deep, shooting deep, shooting deep!]
