League: Educating LPL is my duty.

The OMG members returned to the lounge, and no one said a word.

After being stared at by Mingzhe for a while, Xiyang lowered his head and said, "This round was my fault, I'm sorry everyone. Let Memory play next round."

Upon hearing this, Memory immediately looked up at the setting sun, her eyes filled with shock.

Dude, at this point you're telling me to go up and fight god_C? You're basically sending me to my death!

Mingzhe glanced back at Memory, who immediately lowered his head, which made Mingzhe immediately reject the suggestion in his mind.

If they're already scared before the match even starts, won't their hands be shaking when they're actually in the game?

"I'm not blaming you. It's normal to lose to the carry. This is only the first game. You'll still be playing in the next game. But we don't have any counters to Kalista. Tell me, what champion can you play to guarantee you won't die? Just don't die, that's all I ask of you." Mingzhe lowered his standards to the bare minimum.

Leng Shao also spoke up: "Although god_C is arrogant, you have to admit that his skills are really strong. I've laned against him in ranked games and he crushed me. It's normal to lose. Just don't die next game. As long as we don't let him get ahead, we might still have a chance."

Sima Laozei also spoke out, which is rare for him: "EDG is stronger than us. We lost, but we can't admit defeat."

Sunset felt a little touched. Looking at his teammates around him, he clenched his fists and said, "Give me Karma. This is a strategy developed by god_C. I'll play pure tank and farm the lane, and then I'll buff you guys in the late game."

On the other side, Li Chen was unaware that the top laners in the LPL had also learned his ranked strategies, and everyone was still discussing the details of the next game.

The second game started quickly, and both sides returned to their seats. OMG, the loser, chose the blue side and continued with the same strategy as the previous game, sending Jayce, Fiora, and Ashe to the ban phase.

EDG didn't change their strategy either, still targeting the bottom lane and eliminating Caitlyn, Varus, and Kog'Maw.

Guan Zeyuan, observing that both sides had copied the draft picks from the previous game, remarked, "Neither side has changed their draft pick strategies. OMG also failed to ban Kalista, who performed exceptionally well in the last game. I wonder if they've come up with a countermeasure."

"I think the reason is still the lack of available positions. Fiora and Jayce are indeed unstoppable in C's hands, and Zet's Ashe also needs to be respected. It's difficult for OMG to make room for Kalista."

Rita phrased it tactfully, saving Zet some face, but the comments section didn't care.

A laugh is not a sign of respect!

If banning a hero could turn the opposing team into a noob, would you ban them?

[I've never seen a character with such high cost-effectiveness as Zet's Ashe.]

Riven is out again, should I pick her this game?

OMG picked Karma as their first pick in the blue pick, to prevent EDG from taking her away.

Nofe thought it was a support, so he said, "It's still Kalista and Gragas. Let's see what top laner OMG is going to use to counter them."

Kalista is not invincible in the top lane. Those high-burst top laners who mindlessly dive in, such as Wukong and Riven, can kill Kalista even if they are behind in items, by flashing and getting close to her and bursting her down.

Alternatively, champions like Poppy, whose W ability counters mobility skills, can also counter Kalista.

Seeing that EDG still chose to build these two items first, Mingzhe assumed that EDG did not intend to change their lineup, so he chose to build Braum and Lucian first to improve the bot lane's laning strength.

However, this incident exposed that Karma is not a support.

"OMG has released Karma, and now they've released Braum. Does that mean Karma is going to be a mid laner?" Clearlove asked, somewhat puzzled.

However, nofe wasn't so sure about this guess: "Lucian isn't a late-game carry, and it's unlikely that the top lane would play a damage-dealing champion. Adding a Karma mid laner would definitely leave OMG without enough damage output in the late game. Would they really make that kind of mistake?"

Li Chen then said, "Karma should be a top laner, the kind who builds tank items. This champion has a very strong ability to survive in lane, and she is even better at withstanding pressure than the three legendary champions."

"Top lane? Do you have a way to win?"

"Definitely, I've played this strategy before. Just build a champion with strong wave clear, like Rumble. He'll get beaten up even if he tries to farm in lane."

Li Chen understands the counter-chain in the top lane all too well. The tanky Sona can indeed survive. Once she builds tank items, not to mention burst damage champions, even top laners with ridiculously high sustained damage like Darius can't kill her.

However, the biggest weakness of this thing is that it cannot be used against heroes who can push lanes quickly. Otherwise, once lane control is lost, you will go from torturing others to being tormented in no time.

"Then lock up Rambo." Nofe unconditionally trusted his father.

The two commentators were completely bewildered by the choices made by both sides.

Guan Zeyuan speculated uncertainly, "OMG has picked Karma and Braum, so are they planning to put Karma in the mid lane? EDG is the same; Kalista can play both top and bottom lanes, and Rumble can play mid and top. They're flexing their muscles on both sides!"

When Mingzhe saw Rambo, he wasn't sure where the thing was going, so after thinking about it, he decided to take care of Lulu and Syndra.

EDG responded with Taliyah and LeBlanc, directly telling OMG, "I know your Karma is a top laner."

"They figured it out already?" Mingzhe was a little confused.

Sunset took a deep breath and said, "That guy on the other side has played this strategy in ranked games. This Rumble is probably targeting me."

"It's okay, you can just stay online." Mingzhe patted Xiyang on the shoulder.

EDG picked first in the second round, locking in Corki for the mid lane, likely out of concern that Zet might not develop well and thus lack sufficient AD damage in the late game.

At this point, EDG's lineup was basically finalized, but OMG had no option to change their lineup, nor could they. They stuck to their original plan and picked Ahri and Kha'Zix.

This lineup, combined with Karma's late-game RE, offers strong kiting capabilities and is highly flexible.

Nofe's original idea was to choose a soft support or a lane-pushing support, but considering that OMG had too many mobility skills, he finally locked in the support Titan, which has control and lock-on abilities, and can also be used in conjunction with Kalista's ultimate to engage multiple times.

After both sides had switched heroes, the audience was finally able to determine the final position of each hero.

"The draft phase in this game was very exciting. Until the very last moment, you had no idea which hero would go to which lane. Now let's see how OMG's top lane Karma performs." Guan Zeyuan was very interested in the top lane.

[Haha, after C-gate Jie, here comes another C-gate Ma. Isn't this just pure C-gate imitation?]

To be honest, I don't believe C can't handle the disgusting tactics he developed himself.

[Where did Rangdi and Xiyang learn this from? They always like to play these kinds of games. Wouldn't it be better to just stick to playing a big tree?]

[Are you just a casual player? Aren't there enough top teams that got crushed in the regular season? If they could just survive, would teams even need to come up with such bizarre ideas?]
