Chapter 279 Warhorse: You guys are really having a blast!
Warhorse shook his head and smiled to himself as he walked backstage. EDG's high-spirited performance was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Flash Wolves.

This means they have a chance to turn the tide!
In the live broadcast commentary room, guests and commentators were also discussing the lineups of both sides.

Although Annie is an unusual choice and seems clearly unsuitable for the current version, the user's aura is so strong that everyone is wondering if it's some kind of secret technology.

However, many people still have doubts about this choice.

Regardless of what others say, Wang Yao, the player on the EDG team, knew exactly what was going on.

In the upcoming 10.10 patch, Annie's E skill received a minor buff, making her a popular pick in the patch. However, that buff was simply a reversal of the overly harsh nerf to her E skill in 9.18. After all, the designers didn't want her to be sidelined for too long.

At the time, the Predator Annie version had a win rate of 54.64%, ranking second in the league. It could be said to be the new mid lane overlord and a climbing god in the eyes of many casual players.

Annie, the mid-lane champion, has consistently maintained a high win rate in both the Chinese and Korean servers. This cunning little girl possesses reliable crowd control and high burst damage, making it easy for her to secure solo kills in her lane, and her roaming support is also incredibly powerful.

Moreover, Annie is very easy to use.

Wang Yao's Annie runes in this game were also the standard setup: Domination as the primary rune tree and Sorcery as the secondary rune tree.

Annie relies heavily on movement speed and needs to get close to land her ultimate (R) for crowd control. Predator runes provide Annie with movement speed, making it easier for her to close the distance and land her ultimate (R) along with her passive for crowd control. Domination runes enhance her damage output, while Sorcery runes easily increase her damage.

The mother's boy is quite cautious.

After suffering a major loss in the last game, EDG's mid and jungle are Annie and Lee Sin this game, both with high burst damage. After Annie accumulates her stun, her Q skill is targeted.

Add Lee Sin to the mix. Don't be fooled by the unusual pick; it might put even more pressure on the "mama's boy" than in the previous game.

He's a snake woman, and her movement speed is slow in the early game.

To ensure her safety, the mother brought Purify and Flash.

Level 1, the two sides walked out of the spring and entangled for a while near the river in the lower half of the area.

Lee Sin used his Q ability on Cassiopeia in the river, but Mama Boy dodged it with a quick movement.

There was a glimpse of a Lightning Wolf in the river bushes, and Mama Bao immediately recognized that Xiao Tian was up to no good.

Braum's Q arrived at the eager Rakan, and Snake made a small profit.

Both sides were very respectful of martial ethics and neither invaded the other's jungle to establish vision, mainly because they dared not.

From God's perspective, Xiaotian started his jungle camp at the red buff in the bottom half of the map, and Moojin also started at the red buff.

The duo helped each other with a few auto-attacks, and the bottom lane came online later than usual. The red and blue ping signals could be seen on the minimap, and they could basically guess the other jungler's movements.

Wang Yao controlled Annie to farm minions in the mid lane.

Annie's basic attack range is a whopping 625 yards, the longest of all AP mages.

Wang Yao faced little pressure laning against Cassiopeia.

Annie has high burst damage and good crowd control, but her weaknesses are skill range and wave clear efficiency.

Champions with a longer attack range than Annie and faster wave clear can easily counter her. They can use their attack range to keep Annie from getting close and their wave clear to control Annie, such as Syndra.

But the snake woman obviously can't do that.

Mama's Boy was positioned relatively far back, but Wang Yao was still able to occasionally ambush and harass him while he was last-hitting, interfering with the Cassiopeia's last-hitting.

Annie can easily last-hit minions. Her Q skill already has a cooldown of only 4 seconds, and killing minions restores her mana and halves the cooldown.

As long as you manage the minion's health well and use Q to kill them accurately, you'll be fine. Avoid the awkward situation where the minion dies while the Q is still in flight.

At 2 minutes and 06 seconds, Wang Yaoxian's "mama's boy" level was upgraded to 2.

He had the passive ability of Pyromania, and when he saw the Cassiopeia about to finish her off, he launched Shattered Flames at Mama's Boy, causing a 1.25-second stun.

Because it's a targeted skill, the snake woman can't dodge it.

Mama Bao moved backward, keeping a close eye on the direction of the river. He would never casually give up Purify until he saw Lee Sin.

The W skill has a slightly shorter range than the Q skill. The Fire Mage took two steps forward and unleashed a cone of gunpowder. As Wang Yao retreated, he was hit by the Cassiopeia's Twin Fangs, but because his movement speed couldn't keep up, the damage from the "mama's boy" stopped there.

This wave of securing two kills and exchanging blows is a win-win situation no matter what.

The snake woman emitted a green light, and the mama's boy immediately took a drug to keep himself in a healthy state.

At 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the camera suddenly switched from the bottom lane back to the mid lane.

Moojin indeed changed his style. He didn't even take the blue buff. After reaching level 3, he immediately gave up vision in the bushes in the top half of the river and rushed to the mid lane from EDG's F6 camp.

Wang Yao reacted quickly enough, retreating towards the blue zone ramp the moment he saw Pig Girl.

The snake woman also rushed up.

On the big screen, Moojin decisively used Q Flash!
Piggy Girl charged forward headfirst!
"flash!"

Kshine didn't hold back any skills here either, and decisively used Flash to return to the tower.

After the doll finished speaking, Miller followed up by saying:
"Annie won't die from being knocked up, but Cassiopeia will definitely come forward to use Q to chase down E, and with Sejuani's damage, Annie will definitely be completely out of shape."

"If I get stunned by Sejuani's E again, I'll probably have to use Flash again, which would be too easy for Cassiopeia."

"Flash Wolves changed their strategy and focused their attack on the mid lane. Moojin, who got Sejuani, was like a completely different person, relentlessly chasing Kshine."

On the FW player's bench, seeing Annie escape unscathed with a Flash, he felt a pang of regret, but was still somewhat pleased.

If Annie doesn't have Flash, then he doesn't need to worry about Lee Sin coming over and then Annie using Flash to Q without thinking, which greatly ensures his safety in the early game.

The mother's son finally cheered up and said that Moojin had done a good job.

At 2 minutes and 57 seconds, the Lee Sin also moved from the top half of the river to the middle lane.

Seeing this, Wang Yao deliberately positioned himself forward to suppress the Cassiopeia, whose health was lower than his, and lured Moojin's Sejuani to come over for a 2v2 fight.

However, Mama Bao, who had clashed with Wang Yao many times, directly stopped Moojin's actions in the team voice chat.

"Magic Mirror, please don't grab it!"

"The enemy jungler is definitely here, I can guarantee that!"

Mama's Boy squinted: "Annie probably has three stacks of her passive left. She'll stun both of us with an EW combo. You don't have Flash, so once you Q in, you won't be able to get back. I don't have enough damage output, so we can't win in a 2v2."

These words not only made Moojin nod, but also the entire Electric Wolf uniformed team backstage, including War Horse Coach, kept nodding in agreement!
She still has to be a mama's boy!

Xiao Tian couldn't stay crouched any longer, so he took the initiative to come out of the river and launch a frontal attack.

However, the well-prepared mother-child walked straight ahead.

Blind Monk uses his Heavenly Sound Wave to launch an attack.

Xiao Tian anticipated a small movement backward, knowing it was a habit of his mama's boy.

In the previous game, he kicked Camille under the tower in the same way.

Unfortunately, the snake woman walked straight ahead without any intention of turning back.

Tianyinbo flew over, stepping on the snake woman's body, while Mama's Boy's lips curled into a smile.

You think you can predict my movements? No way!
The camera pans to the bottom lane, where Rakan lifts up Kai'Sa, and iboy uses his E skill followed by a flurry of attacks, leaving Betty severely wounded.

However, Rakan was also controlled by Braum when he entered the fray, and Meiko was crippled by Kai'Sa's damage output.

Luo used Ignite, and Kai'Sa used Heal.

This skirmish weakened Kai'Sa, so EDG still came out ahead.

The production team listened carefully to the sounds coming from the players' seats, and then switched the camera to the top lane.
