League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 117 Everyone Wants to Do Whatever They Want
"Hello everyone, this is Miller, your commentator for today!"
"I am Guan Zeyuan!"
"I am Rita!"
After the three commentators introduced themselves, they started chatting to warm up the audience while the contestants were still setting up their equipment.
Miller brought up the online challenge incident that has been making headlines these past few days: "There's been a really popular challenge meme online recently, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's said that C-God challenged SKT T1's top laner Huni during a live stream, agreeing to settle the score at MSI."
Guan Zeyuan nodded and said, "Of course I know that. We all know C's personality. He has absolute confidence in his skills, which is also related to his hard training. Last night, around 10 p.m., someone even saw his alt account online in the game."
Rita picked up the thread, saying, "Having finally made it to the finals, neither team's players clearly wanted to fall at the last moment, and C-God was obviously working even harder than usual."
[Not hard work, not effort, just pure frying!]
[She's always taking her sister Sisi to smurf in Diamond/Master games, obsessed with Twisted Fate top lane. Is this what you call training?]
It's untrue to say that C isn't hardworking, but his goal in working hard is to help Sissi achieve her Super Rocket.
I'm really afraid that he'll go crazy with smurfing and end up pulling out a Twisted Fate top laner.
[The prophet is dragged out.]
On the players' bench, Li Chen took a sip of chilled juice, smiled slightly at the camera, and then said, "How about we go all out in the first game? What do you think, coach?"
"In the first game, we were on the blue side. We picked Galio first. Did Scout have any problems?" Nofe patted Scout and asked.
"Sure, I'm already familiar with my Galio," Scout nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
The equipment was quickly set up, and both players entered the room, officially beginning the competition.
By the time the large screen in the venue switched to the match content, both sides had already taken turns playing two heroes.
Looking at the heroes banned, Guan Zeyuan said as expected: "EDG used their strategy from the semifinals, still banning Caitlyn and Kog'Maw in the bot lane. WE, after banning Jayce, chose to ban Ashe as their second pick."
Miller crossed his arms and said, "In that case, WE's strategy should be targeting Zet in the bottom lane. After all, OMG has already shown in the semifinals that banning only god_C's heroes is not very useful. He still has many signature heroes that he can bring out."
"EDG's third pick was Lucian. That's a bit unexpected. This should be the first time EDG has picked Lucian this season, right?" Guan Zeyuan said with some surprise.
At this moment, the WE players were all a bit confused when they saw EDG draft Lucian.
"Is this Lucian targeting my brother-in-law?" 957 suddenly felt uneasy.
Redmi, holding his laptop, looked at Lucian on the bench and frowned, saying, "Let's ban Vengeful Spear. We can't change our focus right now."
Although we don't know what EDG is up to, since they've already taken down Ashe, they have no choice but to go all the way.
After the match ended, EDG made their first pick, and Li Chen decisively revealed Galio's icon, then locked it in instantly.
Xi Ye was immediately shocked: "Holy crap, Galio! They stole Galio!"
957 was equally bewildered: "Wait, did our tactics get leaked? What a coincidence!"
"Now is not the time to think about this. 957, what are you going to do? Can you still pick up the Fizz? Can you withstand the damage?" Redmi looked at 957. Now that their trump card to help stabilize the top lane has been stolen, and they are only relying on one Fizz, he is a little worried.
957 was also very nervous, but he still nodded, because apart from the Murloc, the other two heroes he had prepared for this match might not be much better.
"Okay, then I'll give you Murloc as your second pick, Condi will pick Spider first, and Varus as your second pick." Redmi quickly adjusted the strategy.
"Galio was picked first, and this is the first time this champion has appeared in a match since his rework. EDG is trying something new. WE locked in Elise jungle first to control the early game tempo, and then picked Varus," Miller said.
"EDG has picked Jarvan IV, which seems to have some synergy with Galio's ultimate. I wonder how effective it will be for EDG." Guan Zeyuan quickly noticed the connection between the two champions.
"Ezreal takes it first, don't let the enemy get it." Nofe gave the third pick to Zzreal, since it's also important for the bot lane to hold the lane.
"The prince and Galio, why are they going to play this combination too? What are we going to do?" 957's forehead was already covered in sweat. He felt like his base was already smoking before the game even started.
"I feel like there's a mole among us." Xi Ye's expression was equally grave. They hadn't even used their carefully prepared trump card yet, and EDG had already brought it out first.
Although Hongmi was equally shocked, she still comforted him, "Don't panic. Top lane Fizz isn't too afraid of this combination. Don't lose your rhythm, keep picking Braum."
In the second round of player removals, EDG removed LeBlanc and Taliyah, while WE removed Fiora and Riven.
After all, EDG's bot lane is weak, and targeting Meiko alone isn't very effective; it's better to focus firepower on Li Chen.
In the second round, WE picked first. After a short delay, Karma's icon appeared and was then locked in.
"Karma, is this the top lane? But they didn't ban Rumble." Meiko said, somewhat puzzled.
Li Chen didn't seem to care much: "Whether it's true or not doesn't matter anymore, just take Camille and Titan."
With Camille and Nautilus locking onto the enemy team, plus Galio and Jarvan IV charging in, the opposing lineup was practically useless. A Braum and Karma simply couldn't protect their carry.
After EDG finished their rotation, Hongmi realized this as well, but there was nothing he could do. He could only pray that the enemy top laner wouldn't get too fed.
"Let's go with the Fizz. Remember to trade damage as little as possible. If you really can't win, switch lanes between top and mid, and take turns going to the top lane to withstand the pressure. Don't give that person a chance easily."
After giving a few final words of advice, Redmi left the players' seat and shook hands with nofe.
Entering the loading screen:
EDG (Blue Team):
Top Lane - Camille
Jungler - Prince
Mid laner - Galio
ad——EZ
Support - Titan
WE (Red):
Top Lane - Fizz
Jungler - Spider
Mid laner - Karma
ad——Velus
Support - Braum
"EDG, keep fighting!"
"Go WE!"
Amidst the cheers of both teams' fans, the match began. EDG's five players grouped up and headed straight for WE's upper jungle. On the way, they encountered Karma blocking their path. Nautilus hooked the wall to close the distance, forcing the opponent to learn the E skill at level one to speed up their escape.
This unexpected little development also means that Karma has given up lane control before level three.
"EDG grouped up and invaded WE's red buff area at the start of the game, and their top and mid laners didn't seem to be leaving. So this game should be about exchanging jungle camps, which seems to be rare in EDG's games," Rita said with some curiosity.
Miller confirmed Rita's guess: "It's not that it's rare, but rather that EDG hasn't swapped jungle camps this season. EDG's choice to start this game like this was probably to prevent Elise from quickly reaching level three and ganking top."
