LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 28 That man is back!
"Hello viewers, welcome back to the 2017 LPL Summer Finals!"

With a serious expression, Wawa read the opening remarks into the camera: "The final playoff match of this year's LPL is about to begin. This decisive game will determine who gets the LPL's number one seed!"

The LPL's most anticipated finals of the year, accompanied by the Silver Trace Battle Song BGM, officially entered the draft phase.

The real-time chat messages in various e-sports live streams were also moving rapidly and constantly refreshing.

"The 'Send People to the West' convenience store is now open! Front row seats available for snacks to enjoy while watching the game: parasitic snails, 'death pills' (a type of candy), carcinogenic candies, artificially colored soda, and crab sticks that cause diarrhea..."

"Hi everyone, I'm a newbie player who just started playing LOL. I accidentally got bitten by a centipede and urgently need a chicken to heal me. Where can I find a chicken?"

"Old Wang from next door just took his phone up to the roof to watch the game. He said the signal is better up there. I wonder which team he bet on to win."

"For online donations, type 1 to support EDG and receive a collaboration Rumble Red Warm Skin with Uzi; type 2 to support RNG and receive a contract with an RNG professional player."

"..."

In the commentary box.

After hearing the instructions from his headset, Guan Zeyuan said to the viewers in front of the screen, "We have received information that RNG has chosen the red side in this game."

"It seems that RNG, who are on the verge of elimination, are planning to make some moves by taking advantage of the red team's counter-pick positions!"

As Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, the deep and energetic BP music began, making the fans in the audience tense and anxious once again.

"EDG's first ban is Taliyah! They seem to realize that RNG is likely to play a support-oriented lane strategy this game."

"RNG banned Kalista first, and EDG then banned Thresh and Gragas respectively. That banning strategy is quite interesting!"

“RNG doesn’t seem worried about Scout’s performance. After banning Kalista, they banned Alistar and Jhin in succession.”

Miller shook his head repeatedly as he watched.

RNG banned two of their first three picks for ADCs, so Kshine definitely has a lot of influence in this game!

The EDG players were engaged in a lively discussion.

"They let LeBlanc, Caitlyn, Xayah and Rakan go, what should we pick first this game?" Meiko asked.

"Let's take Luo first," Wang Yao said after a moment's thought.

Coach Nofe nodded: "Lok is fine."

Immediately, the mouse on the first floor locked onto Luo.

Immediately afterwards, RNG on the red side countered by picking Jarvan IV and Orianna. This strong teamfight control mid-jungle duo is effective in both the early and late game.

"RNG's draft picks were pretty good this game."

In the commentary booth, Miller astutely discerned RNG's true intentions:
"The reason they removed Alistar is because RNG originally planned to pick Rakan, since Alistar is quite effective at countering Rakan's entry into the fight."

"But after EDG saw through the opponent's intention to pick Rakan, they picked it first. But this allowed RNG to immediately lock down Jarvan IV and Orianna, the teamfight initiation duo."

"RNG's strategy was very clear in this game!"

Miller's calm analysis made many audience members realize that there were so many pitfalls in the first round of business plan design!
"As for the choice of AD champion, EDG does not seem to be planning to give Kshine Caitlyn at the moment, obviously they have a backup plan."

On the EDG team's training ground.

"Syndra can be picked, but if Syndra is picked, the third player must pick an ADC, otherwise the opponent will ban her later."

Coach Nofe glanced at Scout. He wasn't worried that Scout couldn't pick Syndra, but rather that Syndra, as an AP champion, was actually difficult to pair with other champions.

Relying solely on Rakan's initiation and Syndra's QE push is not enough to establish EDG's teamfight control chain.

The best pairing for Syndra is with utility champions like Varus or Ashe, which ensures the team's control strength.

But letting Wang Yao, who is in hot form, choose Ashe and Varus is somewhat of a waste.

"Let's get Ekko and Cho'Gath."

After a moment's thought, the factory manager promptly offered a solution. "Okay," the EDG team replied, indicating no problem.

The blue team, which has the initiative, is the one that should be posing the challenges to the red team. EDG must not be led astray by RNG's strategy.

Clang!
The big bug and Ekko were picked on the second and third floors of EDG respectively.

The Firefox coach remained unfazed. EDG's move was indeed somewhat unexpected, but it was good in a way, as it allowed him to secure Caitlyn for Uzi.

"Little dog, is it okay to pick Caitlyn this game?"

The best option right now is to pick Caitlyn, but the Firefox coach still needs to ask Uzi's opinion before finalizing the hero.

"can."

Uzi nodded in agreement, appearing fairly pleased.

Among the many AD champions available, Caitlyn is his most reliable and undisputed choice. Moreover, with Wang Yao's Jhin already banned, Uzi has no further concerns.

Immediately, RNG locked down the female police officer on the third floor.

In the second round of bans and picks, RNG continued to target Wang Yao's champion pool, banning Varus and Ashe in succession.

When Scout chose Ekko, a mobile assassin, RNG had already made up their minds.

No matter what, we have to cut off the synergy between EDG's mid and bot lane carries, and we also have to make sure Uzi's Caitlyn in the bot lane is comfortable.

Seeing RNG's two bans, the audience and commentators on stage couldn't help but have the same thought.

This is pushing Kshine to the brink!

Four out of the five ban slots were given to AD carries, which shows the pressure Wang Yao brought to RNG.

Firefox stood behind the players and saw EDG repeatedly press Shen, but Gnar remained unmoved. Anyway, he could just pick a tank in the top lane and play casually, it didn't matter what he played.

What he's really concerned about now is which ADC Wang Yao will pick to counter Uzi's Caitlyn.

This draft strategy is the maximum restriction that Uzi can impose on Wang Yao while ensuring a comfortable laning phase in the bottom lane.

"RNG played too ruthlessly this game."

Seeing RNG pick Morgana on the fourth floor, Wawa couldn't help but worry about Wang Yao's future situation.

The combination of Caitlyn and Morgana can maintain a certain level of strength in the laning phase while also preventing EDG from using any aggressive champions later on.

At this moment, Wang Yao, the factory director, had few choices left.

If EDG wants to maintain the strength of their mid and jungle in this game, picking Zac or Sejuani won't be a good option.

After all, in skirmishes in the jungle, these two tanky junglers performed rather poorly, far inferior to RNG's Jarvan IV.

The excavator is worth considering, but against RNG's extremely solid lineup, it would seem somewhat useless.

"We don't necessarily have to consider initiating the team fight first. Playing defensively and counter-attacking, or making a second entry into the fight are also good options. The enemy's lineup is a bit clumsy, so it's not difficult for Luo to initiate a team fight."

Wang Yao glanced at RNG's lineup and said calmly, "Don't worry about the bottom lane. If we take down their mid and jungle, we can win this game."

"Mingkai can choose a more aggressive jungler!"

Wang Yao's words made the usually straightforward factory director waver a little. In this life-or-death battle, he might be able to bring out the hero who had once brought him shame and resentment.

"Blind Monk, I guess."

The factory manager took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Immediately, Meiko on the fifth floor clicked on the Lee Sin icon, and after receiving a nod of permission from Coach Nofe, he officially locked in the jungle Lee Sin.

In an instant, the fans below the stadium erupted in a deafening roar.

That man is back!
