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

Chapter 467 Don't eat! I really want to beat you to death, you excavator!

G2 then banned Ryze, it's unclear whether they were afraid of Ryze as a champion or of Scout building tank Ryze.

In the previous match between EDG and SKT, Scout copied the item build of the Chinese player Doinb and used Iceborn Gauntlet, which disgusted Faker so much that he almost vomited.

Both sides' first moves were aimed at the mid laner.

In their second move, EDG first eliminated Syndra and continued to target Caps.

G2 banned Nidalee, and although Wang Yao only played Nidalee once, it was incredibly impressive.

Thirdly, EDG banned a Sword Demon, denying Wunder any opportunity to make a move.

G2 banned the Prince, and Wang Yao hasn't picked Prince even once so far, but it's unclear what G2's reasoning was.

This was truly a mutually destructive battle. Although it was the first time the two opponents had met, they seemed to know each other inside and out, and every move they made was a fatal blow.

EDG targets G2's mid and top laners, while G2 targets EDG's mid and jungle.

"Their purpose in banning him is very clear. Silas is out there now, are you going to take him?!"

Head coach Maokai glanced at the small notebook in his hand and smiled.

"So what are you going to play this game? Wang Yao, do you want to play Sylas?"

Scout asked cautiously, "Let me think about Wang Yao first."

Now, with the increasing development of Sylas, there are more and more ways to play it in competitions.

Some went mid, some went jungle, some went top lane, and there were even some weird support players.

"If you want to play, you can just take it! I'm open to playing whatever I want, or you can wave your hand first!"

"Really? That would be great."

Scout smiled and pretended that his question had never occurred.

Sylas, despite being slightly nerfed, is still too strong.

The next moment, EDG, on the blue side, first picked Sylas.

G2 remained calm after EDG secured Sylas on the first floor.

G2 has its reasons for not banning Sylas.

G2 then immediately picked Jayce on the first floor, it seems Wunder had already planned it out.

Then G2 confirmed their next hero on the second floor: Zoe.

The moment these two heroes appeared, the truth became clear.

Jayce and Zoe are a classic double poke combo in the mid and top lanes, and they are incredibly strong in the mid-game.

And Tenccellus!
Whether it's Jayce or Zoe, Sylas's stolen ultimate abilities are useless.

The choice then fell to EDG.

EDG's second floor first helped the top laner, Flandre, secure Kennen, a champion he's quite familiar with, so they can pick him repeatedly!

Moreover, the enemy Jayce has already revealed his top lane pick. If we give Flandre a short-range top laner at this point, wouldn't that be feeding the enemy team?
Fortunately, Kennen is a good choice.

At this point, Wang Yao has many heroes to choose from.

Maokai smiled when he saw the opponent's choices; Jayce and Zoe were indeed quite effective counters to Sylas.

"The opposing mid and top laners have already revealed their cards, so what do you plan to use, Wang Yao, in this match?"

"Should we take it in the first round?! Or wait until the second round?! Let's just take it now, otherwise the opponent might ban jungle heroes in the second round!"

Maokai asked.

"Just take it, or how about an excavator?" Wang Yao said decisively.

This version of the excavator has been greatly enhanced, making it an absolute Tier 1 choice.

In the last game against PVB, Wang Yao used the excavator, and it worked very well!

"Okay, then let's use an excavator."

And so, EDG locked the excavator on the third floor.

Furthermore, EDG's top and mid laners, Sylas and Kennen, have already been confirmed, both being AP champions, so they need to fill in an AD champion for their jungler.

Otherwise, EDG's AP output would be a bit too high in this game.

Then, G2 picked Kai'Sa as their last pick in the first round of the draft.

After all, Ah P has already done his job, so we should give him some room to maneuver.

Next, in the second round of the draft, neither team did anything to counter the positions of the heroes they selected.

EDG banned Titan and Alistar, targeting G2's ability to initiate team fights.

Looking at G2's first three draft picks, they lack any initiation capabilities. Since they're the opponent's weak point, they should exploit that weakness.

G2 opted to remove Xayah and Tahm Kench, because Xayah's self-preservation ability is too strong and she can play alone, while Tahm Kench's margin for error is too high.

Then, for some reason, G2 decided to go down this path to the bitter end.

The fourth floor jungler was chosen to be Spider jungler.

Although Elise jungle is similar to Jayce and Zoe in that they are both very effective counters to Sylas and are also very strong in this patch.

However, the overall lineup looks a bit like a melee team.

Furthermore, G2 even released Braum, despite having so many poke heroes in their lineup.

Since that's the case, Maokai can't be polite.

The Varus and Braum combination was brought out without the slightest hesitation.

The last floor of G2 presented a challenge.

As the draft phase progressed, G2's coaches and players realized they had messed up.

They created a hodgepodge.

What should we do then?!

It'll be soon!
The countdown is almost over, down to the last second.

Pike! Lock on!
"Huh?! This?!"

Coach Maokai smiled when he saw G2's choice.

Jayce, Zoe, and Elise are all heroes that can be picked to counter Sylas.

Although G2's support player is a Pyke specialist, he has already brought Pyke to the competitive stage.

However, in this game, with EDG picking Sylas first, the support picked Pyke to let Sylas steal his ultimate. Doesn't that mean the entire draft of top, mid, and jungle was a waste?!

"Uh... I think this move was a bit ill-considered..."

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan also raised questions.

Today's match commentators for the LPL region are Guan Zeyuan, Changmao, and Wang Duoduo.

"That's right, G2's lineup is a complete mess. Jayce, Zoe, and Elise make them a squishy, ​​melee-heavy team!"

"Although we have Elise and Zoe to supplement AP damage, these two champions have absolutely no ability to tank damage!"

Longhair nodded as well.

"And the support is Pyke. If we encounter this kind of lineup in ranked games, all I can say is 15 points."

Wang Duoduo also spoke.

Because G2's lineup is rather abstract.

Not only did the commentators find it abstract, but even the comedians in the official live stream found it hilarious.

"I'm so happy, so incredibly happy."

"Is this the European team's ingenious idea?!"

"LOL! They picked Jayce, Zoe, and Elise first, and then they pulled Pyke as their last pick? What kind of draft is this?!"

"You like playing with Pyke?!"

The draft phase was over, and the two coaches simply shook hands before leaving the court.

Blue side EDG: Top lane Kennen, Jungle Rek'Sai, Mid lane Sylas, ADC Varus, Support Braum!

G2 (Red Side): Top lane Jayce, Jungle Elise, Mid lane Zoe, ADC Kai'Sa, Support Pyke.

The game starts, and the loading screen appears.

Wang Yao's excavator is equipped with the Conqueror rune.

In this version, the Conqueror has been revamped!

This version is the real "Conqueror" from later generations!
When dealing damage or attacking enemy heroes, it grants 3-15 attack power for 3 seconds, stacking up to five times.

Once fully stacked, a portion of the damage dealt will be converted into true damage and an equivalent amount of healing.

That's incredible!

They just get stronger the more they fight!

It's also very suitable for the hero Excavator!
"Army attack!"

As the stirring voice rang out.

The game officially begins.

Both sides started the game in a standard manner, without any intention of causing trouble.

Although G2's support picked Pyke, EDG's lineup wasn't going to be a Taric/Sona combination.

You should know that EDG's support is Braum, the king of level 1 team fights!

Moreover, Wang Yao's excavator's ground listening skill is a trump card for a level one position, making it impossible for G2 to launch a surprise attack.

Moreover, G2 also has a terrible roster.

Apart from Pyke, the other Jayce, Zoe, and Elise are all terrible.

However, in this game, Wang Yao changed his jungle route. Instead of starting with the red buff, he started with the blue buff alone.

After starting with the blue buff, they went straight to the enemy's upper jungle.

However, the opposing team's wards in the upper jungle also spotted Rek'Sai's movement, and jonkos immediately responded.

After learning of the excavator's invasion, his spider changed its jungle route, starting with red buff and heading straight to EDG's lower jungle.

At worst, we can just swap jungle areas.

Both teams went straight to the bottom lane.

The two teams understood each other without saying a word.

After Jonkos's Spider finished off the Red Buff, he went to fight the F6 camp, kindly leaving one for Wang Yao.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao's excavator stole the enemy's red buff and Krugs. Wang Yao originally wanted to greedily secure the sixth raptor, but Hat King's first trinket ward was placed at the F6 camp, and Elise returned to her own jungle.

This move directly dispelled Wang Yao's idea of ​​continuing to invade the enemy's territory.

It wouldn't be good to get caught out on the spot by the enemy just for a jungle monster.

No conflict broke out between the two sides at the first few levels.

After each side invaded two groups of jungle camps, they returned to their own jungle areas.

Wang Yao's Rek'Sai continued to farm river crabs, wolves, and gromp in his upper jungle.

At this point, Jonkos's Spider isn't being used to farm jungle camps with the Excavator; it's meant to be used for other purposes.

His gaze quickly fell on Kennen in the top lane.

3 minutes 30 seconds.

The minion wave in the top lane was pushed slightly towards the blue side's Kennen, and Flandre controlled the minion wave there.

“Are there eyes here?”

Jonkos tapped the sniper rifle near the top lane river entrance and asked a question.

"No, I didn't see him do a vision test."

Wunder said confidently.

"Can we just burst down this Kennen?! We have plenty of damage!"

Having already touched the spider in the grass, he looked at Kennen with considerable interest and said...

"You can give it a try!"

However, what these two were completely unaware of was that Wang Yao's Rek'Sai was right next to the triangular bushes, just a wall away from the spider.

The excavator, located underground, emitted purple ripples like radar.

The spider on the other side of the wall was as bright as a light bulb in the dark.

Saint Gunner was naturally aware that Spider was lurking nearby, so he was on high alert, his fingers already on the Flash button.

They're just waiting for the other side to open fire on them.

His Kennen then boldly moved forward, creating an opening.

G2 fell for the trap as expected, with Wunder's Jayce flashing in and hammering them.

Jonkos's spider emerged from the shadows and immediately used Flash to bind Kennen.

If it were a sudden attack, Flandre might not be able to react in time.

After all, with age, he is no longer a top laner known for his mechanics and reflexes. He can still play, but he's definitely not as strong as he used to be.

However, the opponent had already revealed their intentions in the top lane; his finger was already on the Flash button. It would be unreasonable for him not to react in time.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

In a single second, three flashes were used almost simultaneously.

Kennen, who wasn't caught by the Spider's Flash and wasn't killed by Jayce and the Spider's combo, still had about half his health left and was in a healthy state.

Wang Yao's excavator immediately used his E skill, Dig a Tunnel, to emerge from the triangular bushes.

He then used W and Flash to knock up Jayce, who had no abilities available.

Jonkos's spider does have a flying state, which allows it to avoid a lot of control and damage.

However, Jayce, who also didn't have Flash, was hit hard; a one-second control duration was enough to do a lot of things.

Moreover, Rek'Sai's combat power was too strong in the early stages.

The excavator, still on the ground, activated its Q skill and slapped the target three times.

Saint Gun's Kennen went straight for the enemy's face and dealt damage.

Ultimately, Wunder's Jayce couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed, his head taken by Kennen.

At this moment, Jonkos's spider came out of its flying state and tried to escape by jumping over minions.

But Wang Yao will definitely not give him a chance.

The red buff stuck to me, and I just kept attacking.

Meanwhile, Flandre's Kennen's skills were ready, and he used EQW to stun the Spider.

In the end, Wang Yao, in his excavator's ground state, used his fully enraged E skill, Wild Bite, to instantly kill the spider, who still had a lot of health left.

This version of Rek'Sai has already received a major buff; her level 1 E skill, Biting a target, will deal 50 physical damage and has an AD scaling of nearly 1.0.

The key point is that when the excavator is at full rage, its bite will deal 100% more damage and be converted into true damage.

In addition, there's the excavator's Conqueror talent and Fatal Strike.

The spider was instantly killed!
This is Rek'Sai's level 3 combat power!
"Firstblood!!"

……

A series of enthusiastic voices came from the top lane, and everyone's eyes were focused on the top lane.

It was thought that the early game would proceed smoothly for both sides, with neither jungler able to find any rhythm.

However, good news came from the top lane: EDG secured a double kill.

"Great play! G2 was playing too hastily! Jayce flashed in and hammered! I think that was a bit too rough!"

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan gave a direct and bold evaluation of G2's performance.

Longhair nodded as well:

"Yeah, I did play a bit rough. Although there's no vision in this bush, Rek'Sai's Observer is like a radar, making them see everything clearly."

"Also, you can use Flash directly on Spider, but I've never seen Jayce use Flash directly on Spider and then hammer him."

Wang Duoduo directly criticized, "Wunder probably mistook his Jayce for TheShy's Jayce!"

The viewers in the live stream were all people who enjoyed themselves.

"LOL! Impersonating TheShy, arrested on the spot!"

"You like playing Jayce?!"

"G2's lineup is garbage; they clearly don't want to play. Jayce, Zoe, and Elise—that's like three people without their ultimates!"

Meanwhile, this is EDG's in-game voice chat.

"Nice!"

"Well played, jungler daddy!"

Saint Gun Bro didn't care about anything else and started licking.

"Brother Yao, well done!"

iboy has also inherited Flandre's true skills: just lick and that's it!

Crying children get candy.

If we flatter him now, Wang Yao might come back for more in the next round.

Meanwhile, EDG's bot lane also gained an advantage in the laning phase.

Pyke is a champion that can be surprisingly effective when bullying Taric or Sona, or when playing against enchanter supports.

But without looking at EDG
What's the best bot lane combo? Varus and Braum.

A security door stood in front of Bron.

Pike didn't even have the desire to hook the ball!
Moreover, Ap was playing Kai'Sa, and he got completely dominated by Varus in the early game.

With advantages in both top and bottom lanes, Scout's Sylas in the mid lane doesn't need to rush.

Just take your time!
The game has progressed to 4 minutes and 50 seconds.

After clearing a group of jungle camps, Wang Yao continued to do his work.

Perhaps moved by Flandre's previous comment about "jungler daddy," he returned to the top lane and immediately crouched down in the bush at the top river entrance.

At this moment, Jayce was pushing back the lane, and Flandre's Kennen was controlling the minion wave in front of the turret.

Wunder's Jayce was in a bad mood.

He had previously set up a video ward in the bushes where Wang Yao's excavator was crouching, and he could clearly see Wang Yao's Rek'Sai crouching right there.

But what can we do?!
Since the disastrous 2v2 defeat in the last wave, jonkos's Elise has been unable to play any 2v2 in the top lane anymore.

He can only temporarily return to being an "orphan" on the road.

Looking at the enemy's minion wave in the distance, he didn't even dare to sniff the experience points. He could only fire cannons from afar and symbolically collect a couple of minions.

Wang Yao knew, of course, that there was vision in that bush. Seeing Jayce's position far away, he could tell that there was vision in the bush under Rek'Sai's feet, but what did it matter?
Don't eat it! Don't eat it!
However, at this moment, the laning phase in the bottom lane changed.

Jonkos's Elise can't gank the top lane anymore; he can't win a 2v2 in the top lane, so he can only go to the bottom lane.

Varus and Braum had just pushed a wave of minions to the enemy tower and were farming tower plates!
But by then the spider had already circled around.

Upon spotting the spider, Braum immediately erected a security door in front of him, escorting Varus to the back.

G2's support player also wanted to play a cool character.

W stealthily enters, Q flashes past Braum's security door, hooks Varus back, and then uses E to try and control him.

Okay, okay, I'll use Flash, alright?!
Without saying a word, iboy immediately activated his Flash.

Meiko's Braum immediately used Flash, then used W on a minion to retreat to a safe position.

EDG's bot lane duo used almost all their Flash and Heal abilities, but thankfully they survived and Pyke didn't get a chance to make a move.

Back in the top lane, Wang Yao switched screens while watching the bottom lane's actions, but the top laner was still camping on the ward.

His excavator had even taken a hit from Jayce's QE combo.

Wunder's words are essentially saying, "I've seen you here. I have eyes here, so don't stay here!"
But Wang Yao's Rek'Sai seemed to have disconnected, just squatting there without making any moves.

This is practically equivalent to saying, "No, don't eat it. Don't eat it."

5 minutes 30 seconds.

When Jayce was blocked by at least one siege minion and nearly ten minions.

Wang Yao's Rek'Sai suddenly emerged from underground and jumped onto Jayce's face, startling Wunder.

Rek'Sai then casually walked away.

"Huh?! You play games like that?!"

"I really want to punch you to death, you excavator."

Wunder was really going crazy, but Jayce without Flash could only take this bullying!
