Chapter 446 Desperate Counterattack: Betting on TheShy! Let's go all out!
no way.

That's the advantage of having cheat codes!

The system visualizes all of Wang Yao's stats, so Song Yijin's current laning ability might fluctuate between 90 and 95.

However, Song Yijin lacks a systematic approach, which leads to issues with his performance on the day. He cannot guarantee that he can perform at 100% in every match.

But Wang Yao is different.

His laning skill rating is fixed at 100, which means that he always displays the most perfect gameplay in the current version.

The kind that never makes mistakes and never errs.

It's truly terrifying that they never make a mistake during the laning phase.

After all, with its continuous version updates and iterations, League of Legends has become somewhat similar to a fighting game.

Essentially, it's about exploiting the opponent's mistakes. If the opponent never makes a mistake, and you can't guarantee that you won't make one, then you'll just be one-sidedly exploited and beaten down by the opponent.

"Fuck!"

Flandre was extremely excited, but he was also trying very hard to calm himself down.

He knew very well that the closer he got to the final moment, the less he could afford to be careless.

Once that pent-up energy is released, a person's overall condition will decline at a visible rate.

Wang Yao looked around and could see that his teammates were trying very hard to control their emotions and not to appear too excited.

No one wants their complacency and pride to spread within the team.

He immediately chuckled, "Brothers, your smiles are harder to suppress than an AK. If you really can't hold it in, just laugh."

"Old Wang, do you even know how to talk?!"

Saint Gun couldn't hold back any longer, "You have to be serious at times like this! I was perfectly fine until you said that, hehe, how am I supposed to be serious now!"

"Fake, hypocritical!"

Meiko didn't hold back in her criticism, "It's as if you can be serious."

"It's all because Yao-ge is too strong."

Xiao Tian also smiled and complimented, "The strongest mid laner in history! I've never seen such a terrifying performance in my professional career."

"You discovered this."

Wang Yao smiled and said, "I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore. I originally wanted to interact with you guys as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was praise. Fine! I really am the strongest mid laner."

Everyone burst into laughter. Just then, Zhu Kai walked in from outside and smiled when he heard what was said.

"I must admit this as well. I've seen so many talented mid-laners since I entered the industry, and no one can compare to Wang Yao."

With the system enhanced.

Wang Yao is a true all-rounder.

It is comprehensive and without any blind spots, and has no weaknesses or shortcomings!
It possesses the laning prowess of a hardcore laner like Song Yijin, as well as the roaming ability of a supportive mid-laner like Doinb.

But what's more, he also possesses a top-tier strategic vision that rivals even seasoned veterans like Lee Sang-hyeok!

With these three abilities combined, he is the perfect template for the mid-lane position!

Lee Sang-hyeok is slightly inferior to him.

Lee Sang-hyeok can be considered to have a combination of all three abilities, but the problem is that as he gets older, his laning skills will inevitably decline to some extent.

Moreover, he lacks a system and has limited energy, making it difficult for him to simultaneously manage and showcase all three abilities.

But Wang Yao is different; once he was enhanced by the system, his energy was immediately maxed out!
"At this point, I don't have much to say to you. Looking back on the past year, I am very fortunate to be able to coach EDG and become your coach."

"You are all the best athletes. Now you are only one step away from the top. I believe in you! I believe you can take this solid step and then greet the peak with full energy!"

Zhu Kai expressed his feelings.

It has to be said that Zhu Kai's motivational speeches are quite impressive. He originally just wanted to come to EDG to make a living, but he never expected to become a championship coach!

Thanks to his former team, Snake Esports, for this incredible assist, which has led to his future wealth and success!

On the other hand, the other side.

In IG's soundproof room, Song Yijin scratched his head in frustration the moment the game ended.

He then covered his head with both hands and stared blankly at the game's results screen.

His ability to dominate the mid lane is his proudest skill and the foundation of his success in professional matches.

But his proudest aspect was shattered in front of Wang Yao. He couldn't pretend nothing had happened after two consecutive games of mid-lane matchups where he was outmatched.

Yu Wenbo noticed his unusual behavior and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Old Song, don't put so much pressure on yourself. We all know how terrifying Old Wang is. The responsibility for losing the game is not yours. We are a team."

That's the truth; even Song Yijin couldn't beat Wang Yao in lane.

There's no one else in the world who can rival Wang Yao in lane matchups.

"Exactly! We haven't lost yet, have we?"

Prince Ning cursed and said, "If you ask me, we have to fight them. Winning one battle is not a loss, winning two battles is to wait for a miracle, and if we really can't win, then we won't die on our knees."

IG's team atmosphere will never be a problem, and they will never admit defeat.

Both sides are adjusting their form and preparing for the third game.

The director was also constantly showing the live audience on camera.

At this time.

The scene suddenly erupted in commotion, drawing everyone's attention.

Looking at the broadcast camera, it turned out that the director had caught IG's owner, Wang Sicong, watching the game from the audience, which was both funny and absurd.

Despite IG losing two games in a row, Wang Sicong's appetite was still pretty good. In the moment the camera caught him, he was stuffing a French bread with a hot dog filling into his mouth.

This scene was quite comical, drawing constant teasing comments from viewers.

"Is Principal Wang feeling like, 'Holy crap, is this my team? They're so bad, it's so satisfying to watch!'"

"Look, look, Principal Wang has proven with his actions just how bad IG's performance was today."

"The happiest day for pork offal, winning the championship!"

"..."

The little incident on site provided a touch of relaxation and enjoyment to the intense competition.

"It seems the principal still has a lot of confidence in his team and isn't worried at all. Let's hope IG can pull off a comeback in the third game!"

"The match has resumed, with EDG choosing the blue side and IG remaining on the red side!"

EDG's ban strategy hasn't changed much; they've started by banning Rakan.

IG learned their lesson this time and directly banned Akali. The last game proved that Wang Yao's Akali is unstoppable.

It has to be admitted that in League of Legends, many champions are identified by their IDs.

EDG opted to ban Tahm Kench, while IG countered by banning Taliyah.

In their final ban, EDG decided to ban Irelia after careful consideration, while IG banned Swain.

As a result, EDG immediately picked Xin Zhao, ensuring their dominance in the jungle.

IG then locked in Aatrox and Braum early on.

EDG picked LeBlanc and Alistar as their second picks, while IG immediately locked in Lucian!

"Huh? Lucian + Braum?"

Miller paused for a moment, "IG's bot lane duo is very strong. Does this mean IG is going to go all out against EDG in the early game?"

"possible."

Wang nodded, "IG's biggest advantage is that all three of their players are excellent at laning. So they should go back to their true selves. If they can't win in the mid lane, then they should make sure they have an advantage in the top and bottom lanes."

They entered the second round of BP (Ban/Pick).

IG immediately banned both Urgot and Sion.

EDG banned Gragas and Zac.

IG then proactively chose Trundle as their jungler.

"IG is reserving the counter pick for the mid lane? But EDG picked LeBlanc as their mid laner a long time ago."

Miller shook his head. "Maybe they want to see the overall roster?"

Maokai did indeed consider this point on EDG's side.

Aatrox is a representative champion who can be played flexibly in the current version, and his position cannot be determined in advance.

After thinking it over, he suggested that top laner Flandre build Gangplank, and then he picked Sivir for iboy.

No matter what champion you pick in the bot lane, it's not easy to lane against Lucian, so you might as well pick a reliable late-game carry!

"What other good options are there for IG's mid lane? If it's against LeBlanc, given Rookie's champion pool, the only one I can think of is Syndra. Could it be Lissandra instead?"

Wang made a very reasonable guess.

The final pick by IG completely shocked everyone.

The scene erupted in uproar!

Surprisingly, instead of the expected standard mid-lane pick, IG's fifth pick chose Ashe!

"Huh? What's this about IG??"

No one reacted immediately, but Wang Yao reacted very quickly.

"The enemy team is going to play Lucian in the top lane."

That's right!

IG's Lucian is used for the top lane!!

In this way, the final lineups for both sides were determined.

EDG (blue side) fielded a team with Gangplank top, Xin Zhao jungle, LeBlanc mid, and Sivir and Alistar bot lane.

The red team, IG, has Lucian in the top lane, Trundle in the jungle, Aatrox in the mid lane, and Ashe and Braum in the bot lane!

"My God! IG has given us the ultimate swing!"

Miller exclaimed, "But this lineup is quite reasonable. Ashe and Braum, this double Freljord combination, is a strong bot lane duo, and Ashe can also initiate team fights!"

"Lucian should be completely dominating Gangplank, right? Lucian's passive allows him to fire two shots in an instant, so Gangplank will most likely not be able to detonate his barrels."

"Looking at it this way, a simple swaying move revitalized IG's entire lineup."

Everyone analyzed the situation.

Wang Yao also saw through IG's true strategic intentions!

IG is clearly planning to dominate the top lane!

TheShy's Lucian will be the spearhead to break through EDG's defenses. The reason for choosing Ashe is because of Ashe's E skill, "Hawk's Roar"!
This detection arrow, which can be considered the strongest small skill in League of Legends, can accurately detect the jungler's location!
As for whether Lucian is good at fighting the Captain, that goes without saying.

Lucian's passive ability can completely counter Gangplank, not to mention that he's a ranged attacker against a melee attacker!
"Flandre is probably going to have to put up an ultimate test of resilience this time."

Wang Yao reminded him.

Ning was AFK in the top lane, while Ashe in the bottom lane was constantly using her E skill to scout Tian's location.

TheShy was able to completely dominate Flandre's Gangplank in this game.

EDG was almost unable to effectively interfere with him in the early stages.

"Wow! I knew it! IG wouldn't give up so easily, and here they've unleashed their ultimate move!"

Miller shouted excitedly, "In the third game, IG pulled out Lucian for top lane! Last year, IG easily defeated many Korean teams with this Lucian top lane pick!"

"This year! Let's see if IG can continue to create their miracles with this hero and keep the championship suspense going!!"

"Let's wait and see!!"

The cheers and encouragement came from both sides' fans.

As the game officially entered Summoner's Rift, the commentators immediately spotted the highlights.

"Huh, Kshine's rune choice this time? It's [Kleptomancy]?"

Miller looked quite surprised. "This is a rune that focuses on early-game development."

"From a normal perspective, there's nothing wrong with using talents like this for ranged vs. melee combat, but shouldn't LeBlanc be a champion who focuses on early-game pressure?"

The doll was also very surprised.

This is a huge misconception; the commentator's understanding of the demon princess is very wrong.

LeBlanc is a hero who can dominate in the early game and also excel in late-game team fights.

Judging from the lineup, IG's lineup still lacks a reliable point-and-click control to limit LeBlanc.

Even in the late game, LeBlanc can still roam freely in team fights; Ashe's ultimate and Braum's ultimate can't stop her from entering the fray.

As for why it carries the "omen of theft," the reason is quite simple.

Wang Yao made adjustments to his playstyle based on his team's lineup.

You can tell from IG's lineup that they picked Ashe, a top-tier utility champion, for their bot lane, just to use Ashe's E to scout Tian's early game movements and Wang Yao's movements in real time.

It can be said that Yu Wenbo likes to catch Q, and he will die quickly in team fights due to his aggressive positioning, but one thing is undeniable: his overall game sense has always been very good.

Ashe's E ability is most effective when played by a player with a strong overall strategic vision.

For top professional players and teams, getting Ashe is basically equivalent to unlocking the entire map.

With the restriction of the ice, it is obviously not so easy for Wang Yao and Xiao Tian to take the lead in the early game.

This will slow down the pace of the game, allowing more time for players to farm and develop their characters in the early game.

Then [Kleptomancy] can play its greatest role, allowing LeBlanc to have a good development speed even if she doesn't get kills in the early game.

As for the late game, a fully equipped LeBlanc doesn't lack the damage from Electrocute at all.

Once LeBlanc's items are complete, her damage against squishy targets is already excessive. Only LeBlanc players who are poorly farmed and have very poor items need to use Electrocute to make up for the damage.

The greatest significance of [Electrocute] is to supplement damage during early-game skirmishes.

However, since the opponent's lineup includes Ashe, and early game skirmishes are unlikely, Electrocute's effectiveness is very low.

Another point is to avoid IG's strong period!

IG's choice of a double marksman composition clearly indicates their intention to overwhelm EDG in the early to mid-game!

Lucian and Ashe are both heroes who can provide tremendous combat power in head-on team fights with just one Blade of the Ruined King.

The Sword Demon has a resurrection mechanism with his ultimate skill, and even a single item can provide him with considerable combat power.

EDG's Gangplank and Sivir are both standard late-game champions.

Especially for traditional crit-based marksmen like Sivir, their first item is a naked mana potion, making it impossible for them to build up their combat power.

In other words, between the 10-25 minute mark, IG's team fight ability is stronger than EDG's, and EDG needs to perfectly avoid fights during this period.

The logic of League of Legends matches is actually quite simple.

Both sides use the draft phase (BP) to build their ideal lineup, and each lineup will have distinct periods of strength and weakness.

The way to win is to snowball your economy and seize map resources as much as possible during your team's power spike.

Alternatively, one can try to exchange resources during periods of weakness to keep the economic gap within a range that allows them to turn the tide.

Trying to confront someone else's strength head-on during your own period of weakness is tantamount to courting disaster.

In fact, once the game progressed to the late game, EDG could easily dominate their opponent.

The captain alone can completely counter IG's two marksmen.

Lucian has short range and Ashe has short legs; once Captain Gangplank evolves his ultimate ability, "Fire at Will," it will be very difficult for these two champions to perform well in team fights.

Even his outfit revealed his arrogance; he bought [Extract].

"Wow, is Kshine determined to slowly farm and develop in the early game this time?"

Miller exclaimed again, "There probably won't be many clashes in the early stages of this game."

Both sides chose to leave immediately. Surprisingly, IG, with their Ashe and Braum double Freljord combination, did not choose to invade the jungle, which was unexpected by EDG.

With the minions now online, the laning phase officially begins.

The Sword Demon's positioning was very timid; he only moved forward to try and last-hit the minions with Q1 when three low-health melee minions appeared.

LeBlanc seized the opportunity to use her W to stomp three melee minions and close the distance, then landed a basic attack on Aatrox, triggering Kleptomancy in the process.

I was pretty lucky; I managed to steal a bottle of medicine—an ancient, potent red potion.

It's just a version where all the stats have been weakened, but it's still pretty good.

Whether you use drugs while battling it out or sell them to a store for money later, it's a great option.

At that moment, Wang Yao suddenly started frantically tapping the map.

The commentators also noticed something was wrong.

"Eh? What's going on with Prince Ning?"

It turns out that after clearing his own red buff, the troll crossed the river and invaded EDG's upper jungle, clearly intending to steal Xiaotian's jungle monsters.

Unfortunately, Xiao Tian had no way to deal with this behavior.

Xin Zhao can't stand up to Trundle in a one-on-one fight in the jungle. There are very few heroes who can stand up to Trundle. His Q skill can reset his auto-attack and steal attack damage. Who can withstand that?

IG controlled the top lane, while Wang Yao didn't push the lane aggressively in the mid lane. If a fight broke out in the jungle, Aatrox could also provide support.

"Be careful on the road, I can't go now."

Upon seeing this, Xiaotian immediately and decisively chose to head to IG's lower jungle.

"Both junglers swapped jungle camps. Ning is going to openly gank top this game. Wow... that's going to be tough for Flandre."

The captain is already at a huge disadvantage against Lucian, and now he's being targeted with his own cards on the table, making it virtually impossible for him to farm up.
