She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

That's true, they have three match points, why can't they be confident?

As for Ike…

To be honest, reason tells me that Ekko is a jungler, but emotion suggests that Su Mu might play him.

Never mind, whatever it is, we should play our cards when necessary.

In the second round of bans, Lillia, Renekton, and Centaur were banned.

While continuing to target WLD's top laner, BRS also managed to shut down Bai Wei's Lillia, who had performed quite well in the first two games.

Su Mu considered that the opponent's first three picks seemed to indicate a preference for a mage-centric mid-laner, so he decided to target the jungler who was good at team fight coordination to see if he could force BRS to change his mind.

Little did Zhu Jun know that he was secretly pleased to see WLD banning people in the last two rounds.

They never planned to ban Centaur or Monkey King, so WLD not only wasted a ban slot, but also likely didn't know what moves they were going to make next.

Now he understands that formulaic approaches won't work against WLD; only unconventional tactics will suffice.

What is a surprise tactic? It's a strange strategy that even WLD might not know, using the strange to counter the strange.

A person who is good at strange things may not necessarily understand all strange things.

However, when they saw WLD lock onto Tamm on the fourth floor, Zhu Jun and the others noticed that their eyes and cheeks twitched to varying degrees.

Hey...do you have to go to such lengths?

Why build Tahm Kench when Pyke is already available?

The pairing of Tahm Kench with Draven is no longer a question of whether or not to pick the right hero; it has become a question of whether or not to go against the established rules. Even if Pyke is to be brought back to the mid lane, at least pick Thresh for Draven as support, right?

Assuming Pyke remains the support, where will Tahm Kench go next?

Playing jungler is a sign of poor judgment, and if the top laner lacks lane priority, they'll just become a punching bag for Sett...

It has to be the middle lane.

The problem is that going mid lane is just like being a punching bag, and considering the mid lane hero that Ye Ziyue is going to get next, it even feels like a windfall.

"How to do?"

"There's no turning back, take it!" Zhu Jun said in a deep voice.

So, Taliyah and Quinn were revealed one after the other, finally confirming their identities.

The audience and commentators, who were usually shocked by WLD’s strange antics, reacted even more strongly when BRS also acted out of the ordinary.

【ah?

【AD top laner, right?】

So that means Jinfu is playing mid lane?

"No way, no way, has Yue Xiaogui forgotten that match in the National College League where her Jinfu got completely crushed by Mu Ge?"

It's hard to say, but why can't it be Lulu mid?

[I'm so excited! Wheelchair! Age]

[BRS is quite interesting. To dare to take this tactic in a life-or-death situation, regardless of the outcome, I acknowledge their courage. 玖]

"Wow, they're using this tactic too, Mu-ge, what do you think?"

"It's hard to say." Su Mu stroked his chin, numerous guesses flashing through his mind. "Maybe it's mid-lane Quinn."

Bai Wei softly sought her opinion: "Then how about Ekko for you? No matter who you play against, at least you won't have to worry too much about lane control."

"Hmm... let me think about it some more."

Su Mu fell into deep thought, and Liu Keke didn't seem inclined to add anything, as if she still had the situation under control.

Time was short, and Su Mu didn't think for long. Seven or eight seconds later, he suddenly snapped his fingers.

"Got it, Ayu, get me the old man's."

"Kieran, the Old Man of Time?"

"Yes."

"...I understand..."

Although Deng Jiayu didn't quite understand, she still chose to blindly trust Su Mu's judgment, moved the mouse to the auxiliary bar to find the hero, and clicked to lock on.

When the old man from Time appeared, the scene erupted in uproar once again.

236. Guess

I thought BRS's lineup was novel enough, but I didn't expect WLD to be even more innovative.

I've seen top and jungle players switch roles, top and mid players switch roles, and mid and jungle players switch roles, but I've never seen a support player switch roles, let alone three players switching roles at once.

Oh wait, Su Mu used to play support heroes in the mid lane quite a few times before…

That's fine.

"Who should go mid? My gut feeling tells me it'll be Pyke."

"Is Ming so certain? baIXO smudged scar"

"Su Mu pioneered the mid-lane Pyke strategy. Although Pyke's wave clear ability has been greatly nerfed, it's not such a big problem since the team's core is the jungler. Ekko is still a strong champion in the late game," Luan Ming said confidently.

Seeing that Pyke's icon had been moved to the mid lane, he couldn't help but smile.

Then--

The smile froze as soon as it appeared.

Pyke's position changed again, finally settling on the support role, while Zilean was placed on the third floor and remained there for several seconds.

At this point, everything has been settled.

Blue team: Top lane Sett, Jungle Taliyah, Mid lane Quinn, Bot lane Twitch, Support Lulu.

Red team: Top lane Tahm Kench, Jungle Ekko, Mid lane Zilean, Bot lane Draven, Support Pyke.

【ah?

Many audience members tilted their heads and opened their mouths.

Previously, everyone made various guesses, not only about Pyke, but even about Draven in the mid lane. But now we're telling you, Pyke is the most normal support role.

If I remember correctly, Mu-ge played Zilean mid in the international server, right?

I've played it a few times, not many.

To be honest, the BRS lineup is quite abstract. This is the first time I've seen Quinn in the mid lane.

Su Mu was also unsure of BRS's true intentions. In her memory, Quinn was usually a top laner who bullied short-ranged heroes, and with her E skill, she could torment many warrior heroes to the point of near death.

The mid lane is short, and if you keep pushing the minion wave, you can easily get stuck in front of the tower, which is not conducive to the performance of heroes like Quinn.

unless…

After purchasing equipment and leaving the spring, Su Mu was still browsing the shop, soon stopping at a particular piece of equipment.

Electrosurgical knife.

An electric knife whose wire-clearing efficiency has been reduced.

I used the same version of Shaco from a game I played mid lane a long time ago.

Now that the Statikk Shiv is fully stacked, it can no longer clear the backline minions, and can only barely take down two-thirds of their health. Its wave clearing efficiency is only icing on the cake.

Is Ye Ziyue planning a strategy of quickly clearing lanes, then using her ultimate to support the side lanes and apply pressure to the jungle?

In any case, this lineup is destined to have no peace, even at the start.

"Pike charges up his hook—ah, miss..."

"It's okay if you miss, at least you forced Lulu to use her Flash. BRS' bot lane is going to have a hard time. Without Flash, the support is too easy for the jungler to target, and if they get hooked, they'll be killed in lane."

"Ayu's prediction was spot on. WLD had no vision of Lulu at all, and this blind hook gave them control of the bottom lane for the first five minutes."

"..."

Cheese is awful, extremely awful.

I was just thinking of going over to make a hole in the wall when I ran right into a hook that flew out from my blind spot.

Now that's bad. I don't have Flash, but Pyke does. If Pyke uses his level 2 E-Flash to follow up with his Q, I'm almost guaranteed to die.

"BRS can play well if they play cautiously in the bot lane," Jian Yun offered the general solution.

"Leaking some experience in the jungle is acceptable, but there's probably not much to say about the mid lane. Zilean's range is quite long, and Quinn can't control him."

"As for the top lane, Sett chasing Tahm Kench shouldn't be a problem... Hmm? Huh?"

Luanming's startling words left countless viewers puzzled. The camera then switched to the top lane, revealing that both top laners were in poor condition, with Jinfu having the lowest health.

Looks like it was just a quick push. What was the dad saying just now?

The director provided a replay to resolve the doubts.

It's simple. Sett learned E at level 1 and wanted to go all in with Tahm Kench, but he lost. During his retreat, he was stunned by Tahm Kench's Q and had to use Flash to create distance when his health was low.

【I am super five-year-old Lin Yi?】

[Don't make a fuss. Tahm Kench may not be human, but at least his voice is male. Isn't it normal that GetEdge can't beat him?]

[Meme aside, I didn't expect Tahm Kench to deal such strong damage when standing still.]

This story teaches us that when it comes to one-on-one combat, Jinfu still needs a deadly rhythm.

【…

Should I continue pressing?

"Pressure." Su Mu said succinctly, "Taliyah will be protected, and we won't be able to take care of the top lane in the short term."

Bai Wei had figured this out early on. She started clearing the lower half of the map normally and then moved upwards, planning to invade the BRS blue buff area after clearing it to check the survival status of the jungle monsters and determine the location of Taliyah, so as to make subsequent plans.

The reason for not starting in the upper half of the map and farming downwards is that BRS will likely play defensively and let the lane go, and Draven is a champion that is difficult to control the lane, so it is not safe to force an engagement.

Su Mu guessed that after Taliyah cleared three jungle camps at the start, she would first help Twitch counter-gank. BRS's support was also a Lulu with Exhaust, so tower diving was risky. Therefore, it would be better to focus on the top and mid lanes at the start.

Our initial goal is to disrupt Taliyah's jungle clearing rhythm.

The mid lane was peaceful; Quinn, a long-range mage, didn't have much to say and could only farm and clear waves.

Zilean struggles to clear lanes early game due to mana shortage, while Quinn can still control the lane.

The situation is different on the flanks. WLD is pressing hard on both the top and bottom lanes, and Tianxuan is exhausted.

Forget about shouting "I'm your fan!" to catch Su Mu, it feels like both lanes are about to be tower-dived.

She can't create clones; she can only hope for the best on her journey.

After clearing three camps of jungle monsters, I ran to the bottom lane to counter-gank, but I couldn't find anything after a long time.

Instead, Bai Wei managed to bypass the enemy's vision and invade the upper blue buff area, thoroughly enjoying her counter-jungling.

She hadn't expected Tianxuan to finish clearing the bottom half of the map and then immediately rush to protect the bottom lane...

Only when Ye Ziyue was able to gain lane control from Su Mu in the early game, risking pushing the tower and then moving down the river to put pressure on Su Mu, did she have time to return to the top side of the map to continue farming and developing.

However... it's uncertain how many groups of jungle monsters will be left.

Over at the commentary booth.

"Tianxuan is amazing! She had no idea that Ekko had invaded her blue buff area. She stayed in the bottom lane for a long time before leaving. By the time she got to the top jungle, there was probably only one pack of wolves left."

“If Xiao Wei had been a little bolder, the three wolves might not have left Tianxuan alive.”

"All I can say is that Tianxuan has a great team."

"There's no way around it. Ayu's Pyke is poised to dive the tower with Xiaowei at any moment, and Ekko is a champion who can go over walls and circumvent vision. Do you think Tianxuan wouldn't be afraid?"

"..."

Taliyah has a passive ability that allows her to move around the map very quickly, even when close to walls, making her one of the fastest junglers.

But when Tianxuan entered the jungle and used his skills on the three wolves pit, he took two steps closer and found that the big wolf had just been taken down by Ekko and then left. He couldn't help but twitch his lips and a very bad feeling rose in his mind.

Ekko doesn't have the Red Buff... No way.

I opened the tab and checked Ekko's last hits: 24.

"..."
