She chose the strategy with the most bullet comments.

That connects him to the jungler Maokai, since he has a history of playing Cassiopeia and Singed.

"How about Wind Maiden? What do you think, Xuemin?"

"OK, Janna can take it."

Next, the second round of Banpick will begin.

Starry Sky had anticipated Step by Step to Victory's support Janna, but there was nothing they could do. Not to mention that there were only three bans in the first round, even if there were five bans initially, it wouldn't be enough to shut down Step by Step to Victory's many powerful heroes.

Even a team as strong as Xingmang has to admit that Step by Step Win has the deepest hero pool of all teams in the college league.

"Is targeting Xiao Mu even meaningful?" Tianji was at his wit's end.

That pretty girl plays most of the same heroes.

Brother, that's terrifying.

After playing two games against her in the mid lane, I finally understood why the mid laners from those other teams always looked so pained after a match.

You're lucky if you don't get tormented by weird and wonderful heroes during the game.

"It's mostly pointless. It's better to target ADCs and ban those that synergize well with Janna and those that Viktor struggles against."

"alright."

After the final four bans were determined, Step by Step to Victory revealed several heroes on the fourth floor, and finally locked in Jinx.

Seeing that he wasn't being tormented like an ATM by Xiaopao, Tianji breathed a sigh of relief.

He had originally thought that if Xiao Mu continued to use Tristana, he would have to pick Yasuo or Cassiopeia to counter her, but now that the counter pick is given to Xiao Mu, he can't open the champagne yet.

"I want to use Darius."

"There are too many AP champions now, so picking Darius isn't a bad idea, it's just a bit risky."

"It's okay, I'm confident I can gain an advantage without TP."

"Okay, mid laner, what do you want to build?"

"Let's lock Darius when the timer is almost up, let me think about it some more..." Tianji hesitated.

The others also knew the pressure he was putting on Xiao Mu, so they sighed inwardly and gave him some time to think.

We definitely can't pick AP anymore. We're currently lacking an AD mid laner who can synergize with the jungler. From a support perspective, Pantheon is the most suitable in the current version, followed by Talon and Qiyana.

A dozen seconds after Darius confirmed his presence, Tianji took a deep breath and uttered two words.

When the final choice was revealed, many people were taken aback.

"Darren/Talon?"

"If the last pick is Talon, then what position should Viktor play? We can't have Maokai and Leona as supports in the bot lane, right? They have a lot of crowd control but no damage, and they're easily countered by Janna."

"It seems more like Viktor will go bot lane, Darius top lane can't escape, and it's hard to say who the jungler will be..."

"Let's see what Step by Step Wins will pull out in their final move..."

Following the narrator's words, the audience turned their attention to the camera, and when they saw Su Mu's calm expression, a feeling of anticipation arose in their hearts.

She didn't seem surprised at all.

The camera panned to Bai Wei, capturing her looking at Su Mu with a surprised expression as she spoke to him.

After seemingly reaching a consensus, the final counter floor repeatedly displayed the portraits of the two heroes.

One is Lulu, and the other is Kabashan Lingjiulin Qijiuwu Balma.

WTF? They're not really going to pick her, are they? We already have Janna!

This would be quite ridiculous if it happened to any other contestant, but this is Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu, so it's not surprising that she was chosen.

[In a match point game, one shouldn't be so reckless. Let me make a bet: if I dare to pick a second support to play mid lane, I'll do a handstand in a maid outfit on stream.]

【Then you can buy clothes first.】

In the commentary booth, Luan Mingjianyun instantly became excited, almost spitting as she spoke.

"Seriously! Karma! The audience can look forward to seeing who will play mid and who will play support between Karma and Janna. To dare to make such a draft in a crucial game of the finals, regardless of the outcome, I think Xiao Mu's confidence deserves our admiration!"

"They've changed it! Karma in the mid lane, and Viktor in the bot lane for StarCraft. Both sides have come up with brand new strategies, so let's see who performs better!"

"Come on, let's move on to the fourth match. Will they take the crown by winning step by step, or will Stars tie the score and let the final showdown be decided in a best-of-one series? Let's wait and see!"

The lineup is as follows:

Blue Team Stars: Top lane Darius, Jungle Maokai, Mid lane Talon, Bot lane Viktor, Support Leona.

Red team's strategy: Top lane Yorick, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Karma, Bot lane Jinx, Support Janna.

135. Sending warmth in this way?

Both teams' lineups heavily rely on the performance of their mid laners. Talon is an assassin who excels at supporting the side lanes and ganking from around vision.

Once the mid lane is freed up, both the top laner Yorick and the bot lane Jinx duo will be under great threat.

Su Mu was well aware of this. If it weren't for the fact that Talon's jungle clearing was too difficult in the current version, someone would definitely have developed the jungle role.

Her task in the early game was simple: lock Talon in the mid lane and prevent him from providing support.

Since opponents have figured out the strategies like mid-lane Senna and have reasonable countermeasures, let's switch to a strategy with a higher margin for error.

Thus, the mid-lane Karma emerged as a timely choice.

The world is in chaos, and the sorceress has returned to the human world.

Who will be the targets of this round of "spreading the word" (a, a, a, b ...

The minions have been deployed, and Tianji stands behind the ranged minions, silently staring at the longsword on his body.

Karma's reach isn't very long. If the opponent dares to attack her, she should be able to trade three health potions for it, right?

If Talon didn't almost never carry cookies, he would even want to invest in that talent.

It's so annoying to lane against a Karma who steals gold; I should have just kept building Yasuo.

Hmm... The enemy didn't build support items, so it wasn't the Senna starvation and skinning strategy. To be honest, our top laner only knows this strategy and knows how disgusting it is.

If it weren't for the need to accelerate the pace of the top half of the map in the early game, I would definitely have picked Senna to deal with Yorick.

But it didn't take long for Tianji to realize that he was still too young...

"In the early game, Vivi should just focus on the top lane, and the bottom lane will definitely not be able to fight. As for my side, you know."

"I understand." Bai Wei nodded slightly.

She started solo in the top half of the jungle, clearing jungle camps in front of the F6 pit under the ward placed by Xingmang, and then moved uphill after clearing the camps.

This made the big tree in the red zone feel uncomfortable, directly giving up the idea of ​​rushing to level 3 and ganking top. The trinkets only last for 1 minute at the start of the game, so it is impossible to catch the Centaur's subsequent movements.

Forcing it could easily lead to a trap where every step seems designed to win.

After playing three games, Tianxuan knew just how outstanding Xiaowei's awareness was in counter-ganking.

The core damage dealer in the bot lane is Viktor, who can't deal much damage in the early game. Plus, with Jinx's Cleanse ability, he's extremely difficult to kill.

Since the top lane is not an easy option and I don't want to clear all the jungle monsters at the start of the game, it seems that the only option is the mid lane.

Talon has decent burst damage at level 2, so taking down Karma shouldn't be too difficult, right? (Umbrella)

Especially with Karma pushing the lane and pressuring the enemy from level 1, not ganking her would be a waste of an opportunity!

"Get ready, I'm coming at level 2 to catch you."

"Why don't you wait until level 3, it'd be safer?"

"A level 3 Maokai has multiple unreliable E skills, it doesn't matter, the faster the better, anyway you have enough damage."

"But I'm not sure if there are any defensive snipers in the riverbed who can make a quick, opportunistic run."

"I arrived at about 2 minutes and 20 seconds later, so even if it was there, it would definitely be expired."

A plan targeting Su Mu was launched. After clearing the red buff and F6, Da Shu deliberately pretended to walk towards the upper half of the map and disappeared into the bushes, but reappeared at around 2 minutes and 13 seconds.

Seeing the traces left by the disappearance of the ward not far from the F6 pit, Tianxuan's lips curled up, and his gaze toward Karma seemed to flash with red light.

The prey has been marked.

Su Mu was delighted to finally steal a money bag, but when he found it contained a welfare allowance, he could only smile helplessly.

Times change, and people experience periods of prosperity and decline.

"Looks like my luck isn't so good today..."

"It's alright, it's still okay to steal the money bag. Maybe the next one will be a hundred yuan," Zhou Xuemin said with a smile.

With little pressure in the bottom lane and Viktor posing little threat in the early game, she habitually switched her perspective to other lanes to observe.

It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, you'll see that the big tree came out from the entrance of the jungle in front of the tower, flashed behind Su Mu, and accurately knocked her back.

!!!

Bai Wei, who was brushing away stone beetles, frowned slightly upon seeing this.

There's no way to provide support from this distance. It seems like the tree hasn't used its W ability yet. Can Mumu escape using Flash?

"Karma is pushing too far! Maokai is catching her from this angle and he still has his W ready. Karma probably can't escape, and no one can come to her aid!"

"Talon Qs in, followed by a skill and auto-attack to trigger his passive. Karma is slowed down and is still being pulled towards the turret with very low health. She should be able to get back to the turret by flashing, but there is also a possibility that she will be flashed and killed!" Jian Yun said quickly.

"Talon and Flash are dealing damage, Karma is going to... Huh? Karma leveled W at level 2 instead of E, RW combo hit Maokai with a huge hit, Maokai saw the situation was bad and used W to hold on, but Karma flashed into the tower!"

Luan Ming's voice was loud, and his tone was filled with confusion when he saw this scene.

So close to the red team's defensive tower, how dare they use W at that distance?

The moment Tianxuan used W, she realized something was wrong, but it was too late to turn the tide. She could only watch helplessly as Karma, who had followed up with Flash, dragged her into the turret's range.

After taking the first hit and only taking a couple of steps away, Karma's second W activated, pinning her in front of the tower for nearly two seconds.

At this time, even if you are on the outside, you must take at least 3 attacks from the defensive tower.

What's even more disheartening for Tianxuan is that Karma triggered her second W, restoring a large amount of health. Her current remaining health is definitely around 20%, making it impossible to kill her.

When the imprisonment was lifted and the player pulled out of the turret's range with a sliver of health, they were already locked onto by the final laser.

First blood!

Seeing her teammate fall in front of her, Tianji was numb.

They didn't expect that Karma, facing a Talon and Maokai combo that couldn't perform targetless movement, would actually level up W at level 2 instead of E...

The key point is that even though he learned W, he never missed a single online opportunity. Who would believe he wasn't a little cunning?

At this point, Tianxuan and the other woman realized that Xiaomu had been wary of them from beginning to end and had not been misled by the fabricated information.

Such a terrifying level of awareness and self-discipline…

[Big Tree Sauce Sends Warmth?]

[After eating three large bowls, even my sixty-year-old grandmother knows that you can't use W at that distance, otherwise you'll definitely be taken into the tower.]

[The jungler gave Karma the red buff at the start, what's the point of Talon playing? He can't even stand and fight, right?]

Does anyone remember what the e-sports dad just said?

【'Karma is probably not going anywhere', 6, this wave, I declare that Lao Jiang deserves half the credit for Xiao Mu not dying this wave.

2333…

"It seems that Xiao Mu put a lot of pressure on Xingmang. Tianxuan was obviously a bit too eager to open up the situation. Even if Karma's second W hadn't been triggered, she definitely wouldn't have died from that low health."

"Brother Jiang's skills are still profound..." Jian Yun joked, and laughed, "Xiao Mu still has medicine bottles, and also RW's recovery methods, so there is no need to return to the city. With the red buff, it is too easy to suppress Talon."

"Ahem, that's right... Let's review the details of what just happened..."

As the broadcast showed the replay, Bai Wei unceremoniously entered the enemy's blue buff area to steal their jungle camps. Just as the tree appeared, she used Smite to secure the blue buff and escaped.

In that simple scene, Tianxuan knew she was about to face a cataclysmic beginning.

136. She's so annoying!

I didn't expect the Centaur to dare to invade like this, considering that the Shepherds of Souls have no line control.

As soon as the OB camera moved to the top lane, it was discovered that Darius activated Ghost and chased Yorick, forcing Yorick to use Flash.

"Darius with Flash and Ghost still has strong early-game pressure. Yorick still has Teleport, but his health is less than a third."

"The lane is being pushed towards the tower. We can wait until the minions don't recall and the Centaur is still active in the upper half of the map. Yorick doesn't need to worry about being overtaken."
