Chapter 267 KZ's Trump Card! An Impregnable Defense!
EDG picked Xayah on the second floor, and their bot lane duo was Xayah and Rakan.

"The troll is still outside. Should we consider taking down Olaf?" Maokai asked from behind Xiaotian.

After a moment's thought, Wang Yao replied, "The third floor is the last chance. If we don't take it, we'll definitely get banned."

Xiao Tian nodded and said affirmatively, "Take it."

"Row!"

After EDG picked Olaf on the third floor, KZ very tacitly picked Trundle.

Immediately afterwards, KZ banned Swain on the fourth floor, and EDG banned Tahm Kench on the fourth floor.

KZ was prepared, quickly banning Zoe on the fifth floor, and EDG gave Alistar their last ban.

On the big screen, KZ's hand was revealed.

"Tarik!"

"Wow, Gem Knight hasn't appeared in a long time. KZ really came up with something new in this game."

"The counter position is given to Bdd."

"EDG picked quickly, locking in Vladimir on the fourth floor."

"This lineup is still missing a front-line tank. Because of the presence of the Troll, Olaf is no longer considered a front-line tank."

Long Hair: "However, Vampire can be picked by the mid laner, and a front-line tank can be added to the top lane."

This time, his words came true.

The blue area is on the fifth floor; be cautious when locking in.

With Shen Yi's victory, EDG has further strengthened its mid-game team fighting and coordination capabilities.

On the KZ player bench, Coach Sin glanced at EDG's lineup and immediately had an idea. He said to Bdd, "Let's pick Cassiopeia this game."

“Okay!” Bdd replied confidently.

Cassiopeia was clearly a counter to Vladimir in the early game, and this hero was what allowed KZ's lineup to be fully formed.

The Troll Cassiopeia, when paired with the Gem of the Immortal, possesses an extremely powerful ability to counterattack!
There's also a strong mid-game Ezreal to poke and harass, and Ornn to initiate team fights.

Sin was very satisfied with his team's lineup.

Their lineup can initiate or follow up with moves, without any offensive pressure. In the late game, Cassiopeia has an extra item slot, and with Ornn crafting items, it looks very stable.

The tactical arrangements made during the rest period have now been fully utilized!
This is the lineup that Coach Sin wants to build: an impregnable and perfect defensive line!

The tactics went smoothly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Give it your all!"

"Let's try to win this game!"

"..."

The KZ players cheered each other on, and Coach Sin shook hands with Maokai again.

After the heroes switched positions, the lineups for both sides were locked.

EDG: Top laner Shen, jungler Olaf, mid laner Vladimir, ADC Xayah, support Rakan.

KZ: Top lane Ornn, jungle Trundle, mid lane Cassiopeia, bot lane duo Ezreal + Taric.

……

The heroes entered Summoner's Rift, and the match officially began.

In this game, Wang Yao brought the Unsealed Secret Manual, selecting Perfect Timing, Minion Dematerializer, and Astral Insight which increases various cooldowns.

For starting items, I cautiously chose Doran's Shield and a Health Potion.

Vampire has a tough time laning against Cassiopeia in the early game, and Bdd countered with his pick, so Wang Yao needs to focus on farming and surviving in the early game.

At level 1, both sides are positioned defensively along the river, not intending to cause any trouble.

After Bdd showed up, Wang Yao also saw his outfit.

This guy came out with corruption potion on his face, you could say he had his fighting spirit written all over his face.

Bdd's build, without Sapphire Crystal or Doran's Ring, is clearly aimed at actively trading blows. There was a previous strategy using Corrupting Potion, where Cassiopeia would use it at level one and relentlessly use her E to cripple the opponent.

However, this strategy was immediately nerfed by Riot Games, as mana regeneration couldn't keep up.

At 1 minute and 43 seconds, Xiaotian, who started with F6, had just finished taking down six birds and was now in a low-health state.

This allows you to utilize the passive effect of Berserker's Fury to speed up your jungle clearing.

Since both sides were in defensive positions from the start, they were able to confirm that their own jungle had not been invaded.

Furthermore, since the side laners are all online at the normal time, the opposing team will definitely not know the jungler's movements, so the two junglers will need to outwit and outmaneuver each other in the jungle.

On Olaf's way to the blue buff area, Wang Yao used Q to take down the first ranged minion, but Bdd's Cassiopeia seized the opportunity to throw out an AE attack to harass him, which Wang Yao ignored.

After finishing off the remaining two ranged creeps, Wang Yao moved towards the F6 wall and placed his ward at the river entrance to prevent the enemy Troll Warlord from stealing his mana.

Olaf finished the blue buff, then the Gromp, followed by the wolves. At this point, it was 2 minutes and 40 seconds, and he was level three, just like the mid laner.

From a god's-eye view, the troll has finished clearing the three camps in the bottom half of the jungle, and Peanut is at the red buff, attacking it at a slightly slower pace than Olaf.

Xiao Tian went straight back to town to buy a ward and straw sandals.

In this way, the predator can be used.

At this point, attacking the red buff will extend its duration. Xiaotian's choice of Olaf in this game clearly indicates his intention to make a move.

In the mid lane, Bdd played very aggressively, taking advantage of Vladimir's early-game weakness in lane to frequently trade blows.

In order to maintain his health, Wang Yao was forced to fall behind by two kills.

In the last game, Khan and Flandre played warriors and showcased their skills. In this game, they played two front-line heroes, and the game was still full of intense action, with both sides delivering brutal blows.

Both Ornn and Shen had only about half a health bar left, and they tacitly took their own potions.

So far in this series, the most intense battle between the two sides has been in the top lane.

Saint Gun and Khan are both fiercely competitive and neither is willing to concede to the other.

"The Xuanming Elders are at a disadvantage in the laning phase. They need to retreat a bit, otherwise EDG will push the cannon minions to their tower."

Changmao continued his commentary: "There's a reason why Taric has a low pick rate. His role in lane is clearly not as clear as EDG's Tahm Kench just now, and he still has a hard time against the Xayah-Rakan duo."

Colonel Guan laughed and said, "Pray's last-hitting is not lagging behind. He used several Mystic Shots to finish off enemies in the gaps. He truly deserves to be called an old Ezreal player."

As they were talking, Rat King Q attacked a minion.

The damage was just a few points short, and then this melee unit was killed by a melee unit from the red team.

Rita was laughing hysterically in her gaming chair, and the live chat was full of comments like "words become law" and "keyboards are overflowing with milk," leaving Guan Zeyuan speechless.

In the bottom lane of the Rift, when the EDG bot lane duo pushed the minion wave to KZ's tower, Meiko took the opportunity to enter the river and place a ward.

At this point, Olaf had already started attacking the red buff, and EDG set up vision control to look for an opportunity.

GorillA seized the opportunity and, the instant he called for the Rat King, struck iboy with a long-range dazzling attack.

EZ jumped in and used EAQ to unleash a combo, taking away half of Xayah's health.

Luo Qingwu unleashed her Double Dawn, increasing its range by 300 yards, allowing her to cross a distance of 1000 yards to provide support. With the help of the minion wave, the Xuanming Elders were forced back.

Fortunately, it was Xayah and Rakan in this wave; any slower and things might have gone wrong.

However, they still suffered a loss when the opportunity was seized, as Pray's health was actually ahead, and iboy used his only small potion.

Olaf cleared the Krugs, and Xiao Tianchao glanced at the bottom lane but found no suitable opportunity.

So he went into the red zone, lit up the divination flowers, and shone the light on the spot marked by Wang Yao.

There's a ward placed by Bdd in the middle lane river, close to the wall.

Olaf cleared the wards and was then marked by KZ.

The top laner, Trundle, stood in the tri-bush, trying to find an opportunity to gank Shen, since the minion wave was pushing towards KZ.

Unfortunately, Flandre's mindset remained sound; he kept his E ability ready and refused to move forward, making it impossible for Troll Warlord to kill him.
