Although this was also Su Mu's first time picking Aurelion Sol in the mid lane, Youzi happened to have played against Su Mu in the international server, facing off against Su Mu's Aurelion Sol.

Although he didn't gain a lane advantage, he wasn't completely crushed either, and his laning phase and farming were no problem.

Once everyone has their ultimate abilities, Akali's kill potential at full health is no joke. As long as her E skill, Falcon Dance, lands, even if Aurelion Sol has an extra Flash, he won't be able to escape.

As long as you're not facing the fear of the unknown, RT is invincible!

The night breeze and the full moon served as a kind of inspirational message for the contestants, or rather... brainwashing.

Starking, you need to remember that you are the number one top laner in the LPL. Your opponent is just a guy who mainly plays troll champions. Even if he tries to change and picks some other champions, he is still essentially a troll. Just play normally against her and there is no need to worry about anything else.

Tulip, your opponent is not worthy of the title of LPL jungle king. Sometimes you are not decisive enough and rely too much on the commander. You need to believe that you are the real LPL jungle king and believe that you can destroy her jungle.

Youzi, you and Su Mu have clashed so many times in the international server, your battles are like a coin toss, she's had the upper hand so many times, this time it's your turn. The Dragon King is too weak in the early game, you'll definitely be able to defeat her several times... *sobs*

If the match hadn't been about to start, Night Breeze and Full Moon would definitely have given the support player TYM the pep talk he hadn't had time to finish.

Then—chess

After shaking hands with Liu Keke with great confidence, I returned to the backstage dressing room, only to be stunned when I saw the WLD lineup.

ah?(

what?

ah???)

Liu Keke and Li Zaigan are like gods and demons?! Lin

Or was it Bai Wei's idea, or... was it still the work of that treacherous and ruthless Su Mu? (Chess)

Unbelievable! Tumor

Mid-lane Lillia is one thing, but who uses Aurelion Sol in the jungle?

No matter how you stack your passive, without a passive you have no damage. It is unrealistic for Liu Ling (II) to rely on team fights after the laning phase to develop. Without damage, you will become a burden to the team and then become an ATM that everyone can kill.

Moreover, when Dragon King sees Centaur in the jungle, shouldn't he have to go around him?

Even if she played Aurelion Sol as a top laner, Yefeng Yuanyue would accept it, but she just had to play him as a jungler…

Can't accept it!

Staring at the seemingly chaotic night wind and full moon, Liang Wenmei frowned and asked, "What, did WLD choose a very good lineup?"

"What a load of crap!" Night Wind and Full Moon rolled their eyes. "An absurd lineup. I'd like to see how WLD beats us."

"Then I'm relieved." Liang Wenmei nodded in a pretentious manner, then leisurely sat down and picked up the small cup of tea offered by her attendant.

25 minutes later—

Witnessing the Luden's Echo, Shadowflame, Hat, and 25 stacks of Mejai's Soulstealer, Lillia racking up a quadra kill and leading her teammates straight to their own base, Liang Wenmei's face visibly turned into the color of braised pork.

You can faintly see steam rising from above.

Liang Wenmei shakily took out her phone, glanced at the live stream comments, and then opened her latest Weibo updates.

The comments and messages, which were full of sarcasm and mockery and left the reviewers helpless, almost made her blood pressure explode.

Su Mu, you deserve to die!

They were down 1-2, and they still claim to have beaten WLD 3-0? It's laughable.

For a moment, Liang Wenmei even considered deleting the post, but in the end she held back.

It's not over yet! It's just a five-game series. If we can win two games in a row, the championship will still belong to RT!

Liang Wenmei gritted her teeth and stared intently at the screen, her eyes fixed on the energetic figure who was chatting and laughing with Bai Wei as they walked backstage.

Odd (2) Order (7) Three Thoughts? 282. Decisive Game

The night breeze and the full moon are giving me a headache.

WLD has even come up with ways to play Dragon King in the jungle and Lillia in the mid lane. Just how many other strange things are they hiding?

They did it anyway, and the important thing is they even won the game.

WLD's current two-match-point lead undoubtedly tells everyone an undeniable fact: their first loss was not at their true level.

At this point, the night wind and the full moon understood a fact—

With enough practice, Lillia can play in all three positions: top, mid, and jungle.

With so much flexibility, and in a version where lane dominance equals initiative, this hero is the biggest hidden Tier 0 champion. Akali, Yone, and Neeko all have to take a backseat.

Although Ye Feng Yuan Yue himself knew that the word "proficiency" was easy to say, it was actually the most difficult problem for the contestants to overcome.

It is now clear that players cannot deal with Lillia during the match, so there are only two ways to deal with her before the match: either pick her instead of banning her, or simply ban her to save trouble.

Looking at the contestants who were in low spirits, Ye Feng Yuan Yue closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

The decisive game... what new tricks does WLD have up their sleeve...?

"Don't you guys have any ideas?"

"..."

"Coach, why don't you explain yourself more clearly..."

"I've made myself clear enough. We have no room for error now. If we lose, it's all over. I think you should think about what you are best at and what you are most confident in."

"..."

The contestants looked at each other in silence, each trying to glean something from the other's face.

As the core of the team and the most senior active esports player in League of Legends, Youzi felt she had to say something.

We must not let the feelings of confusion from the defeat carry over into what may be the final game.

Seeing Youzi stand up, Yefengyuanyue nodded, pondering the key points of the next round's draft.

……

Correspondingly, on WLD's side, Liu Keke was also communicating with Su Mu and the others.

If you take the lead and can end the best-of-five series in one game, it's best not to give the team the chance to go the full five games, because things can change in the long run.

RT places too much faith in heroes with high meta priority, relying on these heroes to build their lineups, and then wins the game through individual player skill and teamwork that surpasses most LPL teams.

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with this style of play and training approach.

To talk about personal strength without considering one's tactical reserves is almost like being a scoundrel.

Everyone here is a professional player. Even if there is a gap in skill level between them, it's impossible for it to be as big as a Challenger player beating a Diamond player.

To put it bluntly, it's extremely difficult to completely dominate your opponent in a 1v1 situation.

Furthermore, while the teamwork among the five members of WLD might not be considered perfectly seamless, it's not far behind RT's; the difference lies more in their individual skill levels.

It's okay to have a gap in this area; it can be made up for through a variety of different options.

……

On his fourth time on stage, Su Mu looked up at the stage above.

The lights were a bit too bright.

He looked around the audience, smiled and waved to the spectators who were cheering him on, and slowly walked to his seat.

As the decisive game began, realizing that Lillia couldn't handle RT, they finally banned it.

Until the draft phase ended, everyone realized that both teams' lineups were quite unconventional compared to the current meta.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that they're all trying to acquire their signature heroes.

Camille in the top lane and Ekko in the jungle defied the meta and rose to prominence in professional matches, creating a system that allowed them to do whatever they wanted.

If Camille lands her ultimate, there's a very high chance that Ekko will follow up with his W and stun the target, taking them down in one combo.

Su Mu knew that this system, before Galio was reworked, could be considered a lower-tier alternative.

Later in the game, Camille has Stopwatch or Guardian Angel as a way to mitigate mistakes when engaging, while Ekko goes without saying. His W long stun has a strong deterrent effect, and his ultimate can save his life, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to get out after killing someone in the fight.

It's safe to say that if a squishy champion gets targeted by Camille, they're almost guaranteed to die; even Morgana's magic immunity shield won't protect them.

The once-popular "fixed-point detonation" combo might seem incredibly powerful to those unfamiliar with it, but that doesn't apply to Su Mu.

As someone who has been through it all, Su Mu knows about the stronger alternatives and the flaws in this system, and he calmly delivered a satisfactory response.

The simplest and most direct way to counter Camille's ultimate is to knock Camille herself out of its range. However, Su Mu did not choose Tristana, nor did he ask his teammates to pick Alistar, Janna, or Lee Sin.

She once again unleashed the Sentinel's Lament: Galio!

A mage tank that, even before the rework, made AP damage champions even more furious than after the rework.

In the backstage dressing room, Ye Fengyuanyue, who had just sat down, closed her eyes listlessly.

The thing she feared finally happened, but there was nothing she could do to avoid it.

Galio absolutely cannot be banned, as that would be tantamount to giving WLD an undisguised indication that they intend to use the Ekko and Camille composition.

Galio isn't a hero with a high priority in the current version, so she doesn't think WLD wouldn't have thought of him.

They can choose not to ban it, just like they are now.

Su Mu, a highly renowned mid-lane player, never restricts his hero selection based on the current meta.

Competitive games are all about form and performance, so now we can only hope that our own players will perform even better.

Due to the lineup changes, the bottom lane won't get much screen time.

Both junglers farmed from bottom to top. Camille's early game strength was nerfed too much, and she only started to improve slightly after level 9 and having Mythic items.

Camille, Ekko, and Yone face off against Gragas, Kindred, and Galio.

It's common for the players in the upper half of the game to frequently play Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), while the four players in the lower half play mahjong by themselves.

Camille couldn't control Gragas, and correspondingly, Gragas also had a hard time dealing with Camille.

As for the jungler, on one hand, they want to protect Camille's development so that she can have a more comfortable time, and on the other hand, they are thinking about how to rip you apart.

In terms of early-game combat power, Ekko could only run away from Kindred.

Su Mu is holding his own against Yone in the mid lane, so it's not a big problem. As long as Galio doesn't die, he can be effective once he gets the necessary items.

The lineup also presents RT with a difficult choice.

I know you want to play the Ai Qing system, and I know you want to protect the top half of the map. So, if I put an AD carry Vayne in the bottom lane, and pair her with a support Karma who can block the minion wave, how will you deal with that?

Karma was even directly stolen, forcibly dismantling RT's EZ Karma composition and forcing RT to choose Lux as a replacement.

None of the teams have much room for error in their lineups; the main strategy is to damage each other and see who explodes first.

"I sensed a murderous aura."

"Everyone's not blind. Even if you're mute, it won't stop Sister Wei from immediately getting on the right track."

"Yong En will arrive first, Yan Hua will retreat first." Bai Wei pulled up a warning sign.

"No! We can attack!" Su Mu suddenly spoke up, "Reverse the attack, target Yone!"

283. You have the right to win without lifting a finger this round.

Youzi initially didn't pay much attention when he noticed Su Mu following him not far behind, until he saw that the Gragas wasn't retreating towards the turrets but instead heading towards the river, at which point he keenly sensed something was wrong. (Noon)

Kindred might not be farming the entire route... she's most likely in the top half of the map right now!

Bold speculation prompted her to step into the dragon pit without hesitation and climb up the wall.

The three WLD members, who had just formed an impenetrable encirclement, were momentarily stunned, as was RT's Ueno.

But everyone soon realized that flashing was the right thing to do.

Youzi chose to start with a longsword to get items quickly, but he's very fragile.

You can laugh at Galio for being just a super minion in the mid-to-late game without his ultimate (R) and W (W), but there's no denying that this champion's Q and E have sufficient base damage. Combined with Gragas and Kindred, focusing fire on squishy champions like Yone shouldn't be a problem. 8

However, when they flashed up and found that the river crab had spawned, with its mark appearing right in the upper half of the map, the RT members couldn't help but twitch their lips. (Ling)

It's so annoying. Kindred was never supposed to get this mark. *crying*

Seeing this, Deng Jiayu, who wasn't under much pressure in the bottom lane, was so happy that she whistled. Lu

"Sister Wei's bad luck is to blame. Unfortunately, experience counts, and Sister Youzi got away with it all."

"What do you think? Should we teach her a lesson she won't forget?" Yan Hua ignored Deng Jiayu.

Su Mu was taken aback. "You don't mean to..."
