League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 178 Doing Whatever You Want Reappears on the Field
After a moment's thought, Li Chen said, "There's no need. Shen isn't omnipotent either. If he can move, so can I. Give me Camille as my first pick this game."
In the top lane, some heroes, thanks to their unique skill mechanics, can perform well against tanks, warriors, and long-range heroes, and can also play both team fight and split push roles in the late game.
Camille is a prime example of this type of champion; if played well, she won't be countered by the enemy if she goes first.
"That's settled then, take out Ivern, and then build Camille first!" Nofe had several ready-made systems in mind to work with Camille, and any one of them would be enough to give G2 a hard time.
"Ivern, huh? EDG still doesn't like this champion. Then let's pick Elise. Clearlove plays Elise pretty well too. Don't give it to him. Let him sit there and rot with Gragas!" Youngbuck said.
With G2 picking Elise as their first pick, EDG didn't hesitate and immediately locked in the Camille and Galio combination.
This scene, however, made SKT coach Kkoma, who was watching the game from the hotel, raise an eyebrow. He clearly did not expect EDG to bring out this lineup in the semifinals.
Peanut said with some surprise, "Galio and Camille, EDG actually brought out this composition in the semifinals? Aren't they planning to save it for the finals?"
Faker adjusted his glasses: "That's normal. They used this lineup in the regional competition, so they probably guessed we would study it, and therefore didn't plan to save it for the finals."
Koma nodded slightly: "Sang-hyeok is right. EDG's tactical system is also very mature. Although we tried our best to avoid revealing our understanding of this system before, EDG probably guessed it."
If the opponent is unprepared, the Galio, Camille, and Jarvan IV combo is almost guaranteed to win a point. SKT learned it from EDG but kept it hidden, intending to use it to surprise EDG at a crucial moment.
But now that EDG has directly used this tactic against G2 and is no longer holding back, their plans have been shattered.
Meanwhile, EDG was also discussing this matter.
The factory manager said with a smile, "SKT thought they wouldn't need this lineup, but they never expected that we would reveal it ahead of time."
"It's too obvious. They had already lost a point against Flash Wolves, yet they didn't target Galio. It's clearly an act." Li Chen said calmly. He was much better at strategy than SKT.
G2 quickly finished their champion selection, and Meiko exclaimed in surprise, "G2 actually picked Ashe and Nautilus? They want both!"
Theoretically speaking, this version of support Titan is more suitable to pair with Varus, while Ashe is more suitable to pair with Braum. However, G2's choice to use Ashe and Titan clearly shows that they want to have a way to initiate team fights, but they don't want to give EDG the double Glacial combination.
"If they won't take it, we will. Pick Varus and see what they plan to do next." Nofe is no longer fixated on the double Glacial build. He has used his top, mid, and jungle champions to do whatever he wants, and the two bot laners are just utility players.
In the commentary booth, Miller looked at the lineups of both sides in the first half and nodded slightly, saying, "Both sides made very proactive choices in this match, using offensive lineups. It's a duel between swords, and it depends on whose sword is sharper."
"EDG used the Camille and Galio combination before in the Spring Finals, and it can be said to be very unstoppable. Whether it's mid ganking top, top ganking mid, or top, mid, and jungle ganking bot, it's unstoppable. G2's top lane will be under a lot of pressure."
Guan Zeyuan still favors EDG, since as long as they can't stop Li Chen's Camille from roaming, G2 can directly declare their top, mid, and jungle teams a complete collapse.
Su Xiaoyan joked, "I actually think the one under the most pressure is G2's jungler. After all, everyone knows that if the top lane can't beat them, it's because of the jungler's skill level!"
[666, Xiaoyan understands the difference in jungle play.]
[Jungler: Top lane collapsed at the start, what am I supposed to do? I haven't even finished clearing the red buff yet, and he's asking me why I'm still farming.]
[C's Camille, those who know, know. He takes two out of four jungle camps, how can you play with a two-jungle lead at the start?]
【Ah Guang, watch and study hard, your brother Chen is about to give you a lesson again.】
In the second round of player bans, EDG banned Ryze and Taliyah, while G2 banned Gragas and Braum.
When it was EDG's turn to pick first, the fourth pick unsurprisingly chose Jarvan IV, and their "do whatever you want" strategy was fully formed.
G2 coach Youngbuck frowned slightly. He hadn't paid much attention to the Galio system before, nor had he deliberately studied it, but now that these three heroes were being used, he suddenly felt that he couldn't solve the problem.
"The enemy team's lineup looks very strong. What should we do? If the top lane gets ganked after reaching level six, we're doomed." Perkz was most concerned about the top lane.
However, expect simply said, "Oh, darling, don't worry about me."
"Wait? You're confident you can survive their targeted attacks?" Perkz asked, somewhat surprised.
"No, no, no, what I mean is that I'm already collapsing before I even reach level six. I don't even dare to farm minions. Why are they targeting me?" Expect said with a relaxed expression, his tone seemingly proud.
Youngbuck rolled his eyes at expect and said, "Alright, stop joking. Let's stick with Ice Witch and Shen. Our advantage is that we have a lot of crowd control, so we might be able to take him down first."
"OK, OK!"
G2 took turns picking Shen and Lissandra, and everything went according to plan, giving the impression that they were playing their own game.
But the next second, they were stunned, because Morgana's image was revealed on the fifth floor of EDG.
On the commentary stage, Guan Zeyuan exclaimed with some surprise, "Morgana support? G2 actually forgot about this champion. You know, EDG used this champion in their first group stage match against them."
"G2's lineup has a lot of point control, but Morgana's shield can effectively counter that. EDG's pick of Morgana as support was truly ingenious." Miller couldn't help but praise this pick.
On the EDG player bench, Meiko's eyes lit up: "Should I not build AP items this game? Give C a shield, and the enemy team will be doomed in team fights!"
"Either is fine. We don't really need support items this game. The enemy doesn't have much AOE damage, just one Crystal Maiden." Li Chen didn't object. After all, Zet's advantage is that it doesn't need support and focuses on self-reliance.
Before leaving, Nofe patted Clearlove on the shoulder: "Clearlove, you need to try something at the start of the game. If you have a chance to gank top at level two, the game is over."
"clear!"
The factory manager straightened the headphones, and the starvation-style Dark Kai officially went online.
