I am the leader of the anti-racism movement.

The scene they had imagined didn't happen. Instead, the five of them were chatting and laughing, complaining about each other's mistakes in the previous game.

"You guys are acting...something's not right." After a long pause, the team leader realized he must have done something wrong. He silently retreated, closed the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door again.

This time, the room finally remained quiet. The only difference was that the five members of WE were now looking at him like he was a monkey, their faces full of question marks.

"Boss, did you bump your head on the door this morning? Are you reminiscing about your youth here?" Looking at the team leader's idiotic behavior, Egg couldn't help but glance at his own idiotic jungler. Sure enough, idiocy is contagious.

No, I must stay far away from here in the future.

"No, I thought you guys would be disappointed after getting crushed a couple of times."

"Huh? X5"

"Stop joking. Although it's frustrating, we're just not as skilled as them. For us, as long as we gave it our all in today's match, the rest doesn't really matter." Luo Fei said they were taking it easy. After all, unless they suddenly get a super system like the XXX system, plus a few MAX proficiency rewards, and maybe even some brain-depressing auras, making the opponent dodge all their skills and then catching them off guard with flashes and skills, there's no way to counter them now.

Do you expect the current WE to come back from a 0-2 deficit to defeat EDG 3-2? Unless the opposing team replaces Clearlove with Airoli, top laner with Audi, mid laner with Relic, bot lane support with a shot-calling role, and then picks a mid-game composition to unleash a barrage of Phase Rush on the lost Alpaca, don't even think about it.

Today he achieved what he wanted: confirmation that his teammates were like him—people who, even knowing they couldn't win, were still willing to fight with unwavering determination. Those who have hope, like the stars in the sky, are never alone. Having found stars like himself, all that remains is to light the way to victory together, bit by bit.

So, despite losing both games, they were not discouraged.

Seeing this, the team leader had a look of both amusement and exasperation on his face.

"So all that preparation last night was completely useless? Did I work overtime for nothing?" Damn it, is it easy for a team leader who graduated several years ago to carry around a book? He was originally fantasizing about showing off today to boost morale and increase his own presence.

result. . .

Sigh, life is not worth living.

Only when he saw that it was almost time did he call his team to prepare to leave for the final match.

The stage was large, but the backstage tunnel leading to it was quite small. Inside the arena, countless staff members were bustling about, preparing for every task at hand.

But this group of behind-the-scenes workers were surprised to find that the group of kids who were clearly about to lose were calmly marching in formation towards the arena. Their unperturbed expressions made it seem as if they were the winning team. Seeing these red-clad boys who were so different from what they had imagined, several staff members couldn't help but take out their phones to capture the moment.

As if he had thought of something, Luo Fei, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at his teammates.

"Today's match may be our last in the Spring Split. It's a bit of a pity, but we are indeed not as strong as our opponents right now."

He glanced at the silent crowd before him, and a bright smile appeared on his lips.

"In that case, how about we go all out in this last round?"

"In our own way!"

Chapter 154, Section 161: Industry Conscience 998

The third game of the BO5 series started promptly after the 15-minute halftime break.

Just like the previous two games, EDG banned three junglers. It's well known that Clearlove loves to study his opponents, and he naturally knew Luo Fei's playstyle inside and out.

No matter how his style changes, his core jungle gameplay remains the same.

If you successfully gain an advantage through early ganks, then sacrifice some of your own development to aggressively gank and harass your teammates to extend their lead. Once your teammates have gained an advantage and control the lanes, then coordinate with them to invade the enemy jungle or counter-attack to recover resources, creating a positive cycle.

Essentially, this is a principle of equal exchange, or to put it more bluntly, a playstyle where the jungler acts as a "dog" for their teammates in the early game. Because this playstyle leads to the jungler's poor early-game development, you often see them aggressively stealing minions and experience in lane to make up for their own shortcomings in matches.

The advantage of this strategy is that if successful, WE will have a decent early-to-mid-game advantage. They can either extend their lead and end the game in one fell swoop, or stabilize the situation and wait for their two carries to unleash their power in the late game, making it a good option.

However, this playstyle also has obvious drawbacks: if Luo Fei's ganks don't find any suitable opportunities in the early game or are targeted, he will be forced to go to the jungle to farm invisibly due to his poor development, which will cause WE to lose its rhythm engine and play worse and worse as a result.

Ultimately, WE relies too much on the jungler's tempo.

Mid laner Xiye's map reading ability is too poor, and he can't exert lane pressure, so he can't roam without lane priority. Support DanZong is willing to change his playstyle, but since it's the playoffs, he can't make a move rashly. However, his old playstyle is defensive, providing perfect vision protection at every intersection. He's good at defense but not enough at offense, making it difficult for him to create opportunities for the team.

Faced with this style of play, the factory manager said he had at least three ways to counter it, but he chose the simplest and most direct one: to completely copy the opponent's style of play and then rely on the overall quality of the team to overwhelm them, leaving WE completely helpless.

This is where the coach's role becomes apparent.

EDG's three bans: Kindred, Nidalee, and Elise.

In this patch, three junglers are banned for their early game potential, and then EDG picks Gragas instead. They don't need to do anything in the early game; they just need to find Graves' position, since Graves' ganking cost is too high, and he's mostly focused on farming. But if you're just farming, EDG isn't afraid of your Graves in the mid-to-late game.

A blatant, overt scheme.

On the other hand, WE's lineup includes: Twisted Fate, Maokai, and Ryze.

Maokai is absolutely untouchable; EDG's Maokai has some kind of magical buff, making him incredibly tanky and annoying to play against. Not to mention Twisted Fate and Ryze, Pawn can snowball if he gets either of them.

After the bans and picks were completed, to everyone's surprise, WE brought out a lineup that was completely incomprehensible.

WE: Top lane Ekko, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane LeBlanc, Bot lane Vayne + Janna

EDG: Top - Poppy, Jungle - Gragas, Mid - Lulu, Bot - Alistar + Lucian

This lineup is clearly telling you: I'm going all out.

"Is WE having too much fun?"

"Goodness, five heroes, three of them are my mains, and I only managed to get Ekko in the top lane."

"Since we can't win anyway, why not use our ultimate skill for a final gamble? [Funny]"

"While that's not wrong, what the heck is Blind Monk?"

In the current version, Lee Sin is a Tier 2 jungler. Although there are many amazing Lee Sin highlights in the Chinese server, Tier 2 is still Tier 2. No matter how flashy the skills are, he's still only Tier 2 in professional matches. Only Luo Fei cracked his neck, preparing to take on his true main again.

As we all know, one usually has more than one "natal" or "destined" person.

After playing games for a long time, there will always be a hero that you're particularly good at at each stage, usually with a gap of one to two years between stages. Graves was indeed one of his main heroes, but that was during Season 7. By Season 8 and Season 9, his main hero had already changed twice.

Of course, in the neighboring LCK, Lee Sin is frequently seen in professional matches at this time.

With the lineups finalized, the two sides began their third match.

In the third game, both sides started with a standard opening. It wasn't that WE didn't want to switch lanes, but they had tried it in the previous two games and failed. This time, they thought they could stick to the same strategy, but they got caught out again.

The typical laning phase ends with the junglers once again controlling the tempo. In this game, Luo Fei started with red buff. Normally, Lee Sin should be able to chase Gragas in the early game. After clearing his own half of the jungle and reaching level three, Lee Sin should decisively invade the enemy jungle or gank.

But after thinking about it...

The opposing team has a cunning and experienced jungler who is far more skilled than me. Invading their jungle is most likely a mirror start, so I'll either have to trade jungle camps with them or initiate a gank myself.

The best place for the red side to start in their jungle is to gank the top or mid lane. Considering the opposing team has figured out his jungle style and routes, EDG's top and mid laners adhere to the principle of never crossing the river, making ganks very difficult for him. While ganks aren't impossible, at best they can only manage to get a Flash, and even that's uncertain.

Since that's the case, let's go all out. The Lee Sin simply turned around and disappeared into the jungle.

the other side.

For WE's bot lane duo, the early game was extremely difficult. In the first game, they had a strong early-game combination, but Clearlove ganked them at level two, causing Mystic to struggle until the 20-minute mark. In the third game, Vayne and Janna were able to bully Alistar at level one thanks to their range, but considering Clearlove's performance in the first game, they didn't dare to be too aggressive.

Once they reach level 2, a healthy Alistar or Lucian can push forward so aggressively that they're too scared to stay and immediately retreat. Choosing Vayne means accepting the consequences. In the early game, any ADC can bully you, let alone a strong meta Lucian.

The duo, who had already prepared for the ultimate pressure, suddenly received a marker on the minimap indicating that their jungler was on his way. At the same time, they could hear their jungler's voice in the voice chat.

"Make preparations to keep them here, Mr. Egg."

"Oh, okay. Wait! Holy crap, you're going to gank like that? If you don't succeed, won't your level be ruined?" Egg was shocked. Did this guy really dare to do that? Do you believe that if he fails, his jungle will be completely wiped out when he goes back?

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't leave my people here this time, I guarantee your balls will be left behind tonight."

"Damn it! Are you stupid? You're so vicious."

Of course, jokes aside, Egg still went for it decisively. In the early game, both sides placed their wards on the enemy jungler's starting route, and there was no vision in the river. After confirming that the Lee Sin would start with red buff on the opposite side, EDG's bot lane was completely unprepared for the enemy Lee Sin to gank like this, because in normal jungle play, if such a gank fails to secure a kill, the jungle is practically doomed.

Moreover,

A typical jungler clears the top jungle to reach level 3, then clears the bottom jungle to clear the wolves and Scythe of Vyse for vision control, before deciding whether to take the Rift Scuttler, the Frog King, or the bot lane. There's a ten-second gap in between. And those ten seconds happen to be the peak time when the bot lane reaches level 3.

After their level 3 power spike, they would push the lane and retreat back to base. The enemy jungler simply couldn't time their attacks to counter them; it was already standard practice for them. Just as they were doing this, Janna, who had been playing defensively for a while, suddenly flashed right in front of them.

"Oh! For just 998, you can experience pleasure so intense you can't breathe!"

Q Hurricane Roar! Initiation.

Seeing Janna's 36D figure, how could EDG's bot lane duo resist such temptation? You know, the normal market price is generally 1500 RMB or more, so 998 RMB for this quality is truly a steal! They simply can't resist! [Unintelligible text]

For top professional players, Janna's Q skill can only be used in this way or by using bushes and walls for vision to successfully hit the target first. As for those who use the wind skill head-on in lane and hit the target, apart from a very few mistakes, it's just nonsense.

In that instant of ascent, a bald-headed figure stealthily crept up behind the EDG duo. The situation was clear: this was a premeditated honey trap.

EDG fell for their trap!

Chapter 155, Section 162: The One Who Breaks the Balance

EDG had no time to react to the perfect entry opportunity.

After the hard CC from Q's knock-up, there are two soft CCs from Lee Sin and Janna. Meiko knows very well that among the three, the one with the highest damage is the jungler Lee Sin with red buff.

"Whoosh!" He appeared instantly.

Q: The earth shattered! His first thought was to knock the blind man away and then push him away. However, Luo Fei, going all out, had naturally anticipated what the Minotaur would do. Because if he were the Minotaur, he would do the same.

With a synchronized Flash, Lee Sin barely dodged Alistar's Q. As for Alistar's W? A ward hop and W brought him back; Lucian, already slowed, couldn't run far anyway.

With the red buff's slow effect, Lee Sin, Vayne, and Janna relentlessly chased after Lucian, auto-attacking him until the low-health Lucian finally used his Flash. Only then did Lucian unleash his Q skill. A fatal Sonic Wave successfully hit the low-health AD carry, and the second part of the Q finished him off. Together with his bot lane duo, they happily pounced on the kill, giving it to the hero, Mystic.

This was a huge profit!

"666666"

"I'm dumbfounded, you're really daring to play this ganking route."

"As long as I don't have a jungle route, you won't be able to figure out my route?"

"The factory manager is dumbfounded, but where is the blind monk?"

From God's perspective, Gragas has already stealthily moved into the top lane bush, clearly preparing to counter-gank Lee Sin. He can catch Lee Sin off guard by playing second and then initiating a surprise attack; a 2v2 situation is within his reach.

The result... the opposing team went to the bottom lane?

Seeing his perfect prediction fail, the factory manager could only tearfully use his Flash, using E-Flash in conjunction with Poppy to force Ekko to use Flash as well. As for the kill? The damage wasn't quite enough. Mainly because his jungler was in the bot lane, the factory manager naturally wouldn't be so foolish as to play too aggressively.

"This kid's got some skills." Seeing that he had suffered a great loss, the factory manager also showed his signature factory smile.

"That's great, as expected of the factory manager. Your signature level 2 gank has been improved to level 3 gank by someone else. No problem." Meiko was quite amused. Although they were at a disadvantage, they were in a match point game and didn't feel too much pressure. Besides, this kind of situation was nothing to them, who had experienced the World Championship.

"Let's make a move. If I'm not mistaken, the next lane is mid."

"Relax, relax, I'm on my way." Almost the instant he respawned, Meiko was already controlling Alistar, running towards the mid lane. The title of the best support in the Chinese server during Season 6 was more than just a title.
