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

Chapter 605 How shall we carry out this pleasurable torture?
"Alright! Both teams are ready! Let's all look at the big screen!"

Amidst the heated discussion, Wang Duoduo's voice suddenly rang out from the commentary booth, drawing everyone's attention back to the present.

"Blue side T1, red side EDG, both sides begin the draft phase!"

Under the watchful eyes of countless people.

Soon, the first three bans for both sides were determined.

As expected, T1's Aatrox, Jayce, and Kai'Sa all headed towards EDG's three carries!
EDG, on the other hand, banned Xayah, Azir, and Ryze, clearly targeting Faker.

Entering the selection stage.

On the first floor of T1, they confidently revealed their clockwork mechanism!

This shows absolute trust in Faker's ability to carry!
EDG locked in Syndra and Lee Sin on the first and second floors.

Next, T1 selected a duo: Jhin and Leona!

If I had to describe this duo, it would be summed up in one word: absolute control!
Clearly, they are still unclear about the current situation of EDG's bot lane, and they chose this combination to play it safe.

Finally, EDG locked in Ornn on the third floor.

Both sides have entered the second round of ban/pick!

This time, T1 changed their tactics, targeting the bottom lane support and banning Lux and Rakan!
EDG banned Kennen and Olaf, and then went to pick their champions on the fourth floor.

On the player bench.

"Brother Yao, what do I need?"

Ah Shui asked, his gaze immediately turning to Wang Yao beside him, as if Wang Yao were the coach.

Upon hearing this, the factory manager behind him not only showed no change in expression, but also, like Ah Shui, looked at Wang Yao with a questioning gaze!

"Um……"

Wang Yao's lips twitched, but his eyes still swept across the hero pool, and he said, "Let's pick one who's good at fighting."

"understood!"

Ah Shui tilted his head back slightly and clicked the mouse directly on Draven's portrait: "How do you explain this?"

"Row."

Wang Yao nodded.

Then, the factory manager smiled and nodded decisively: "OK."

Therefore, EDG locked in Draven on the fourth floor!
Wow! Draven?!

Guan Zeyuan raised his voice slightly: "To be honest, this hero is rarely seen by many professional AD players, but JKL sees him quite often."

Beside him, Wang Duoduo nodded and said, "That's true, Ah Shui often plays Draven in the bottom lane."

"What did Yao say? Could it be Thresh?"

Guan Zeyuan blinked, as if he had discovered something, and couldn't help but tease, "You know what, the guy who always picked Draven in S7 is actually in EDG's bot lane today."

While they were talking.

T1's final two picks are confirmed: Graves and Gangplank!
It was EDG's last pick.

"Old Wang, what are you playing?"

The factory manager finally asked that long-unheard question, casually closing his notebook, and inexplicably felt that everything was under control.

This time, Wang Yao did not hesitate.

When he asked Ah Shui to choose a strong AD carry, he had already decided what he would play in this game.

next second.

An avatar appeared directly on the fifth floor of EDG!

At the same time, the hero's exclusive lines also began to play.

"How shall we carry out this pleasurable torture?"

That's right, Thresh, the Warden of Souls!
"Thresh!"

From the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo's slightly surprised voice rang out:
"Thresh support? Wow... To be honest, EDG's bot lane ADC and support picks today are a bit unexpected."

It's not just a problem with Thresh himself.

There's also the issue of EDG's consistent style!

In the past, when iboy and Meiko teamed up in the bot lane, it was rare to see them play such an aggressive combination as Draven and Thresh.

But today, as soon as Wang Yao came on stage, he pulled off something unprecedented!

"Um, all I can say is..."

Guan Zeyuan paused, seemingly considering his words:

"Looking forward to it! I believe everyone is quite excited about this match, both in terms of EDG's hero lineup and player lineup. Putting everything else aside, it's sure to be very exciting!"

"That's right!"

Rita nodded vigorously beside her.

How can I not be excited?

This is Yao's first time playing support!
Don’t say anything else.

Since the news of Wang Yao's participation was confirmed, the popularity of the official live stream has skyrocketed!
This shows how high everyone's expectations are for Wang Yao's performance!

Getting back to the main point, at this point, both teams' lineups were fully formed!

Blue side T1: Top lane Gangplank, jungle Graves, mid lane Orianna, bot lane duo Jhin and Leona.

EDG (Red Team): Top laner Ornn, jungler Lee Sin, mid laner Syndra, bot lane Draven + Thresh.

Both sides enter the loading screen simultaneously!
This time, the factory manager's instructions were a little different from before: "Everyone, listen to the commands, the mid and jungle roam around and cooperate with the support, and control the dragon well."

It is clear.

In this match, EDG's tactical focus changed once again compared to the past!

They've switched from focusing on the upper half of the draw to focusing on the lower half!
After all, EDG's most expensive players are in the bottom lane, so they definitely need to be taken good care of.

Inside the contestants' room.

After giving several more instructions, the factory manager finally turned around with satisfaction, put his hands behind his back, and walked outside, preparing to go to the center of the stage to shake hands.

Judging from his appearance, it's as if his former confident demeanor has returned!
Meanwhile, in the commentary booth...

The three official commentators also began their lineup analysis.

Colonel Guan stared at the screen, rubbing his chin with a strange expression.
"To be honest, I have a feeling that there's a big gap between the two teams' bottom lanes this game."

As he spoke, he clicked his tongue: "T1's bot lane duo are all players from the youth training camp, while EDG's bot lane has a runner-up AD and a three-time world champion support, which is a bit terrifying."

Not only that.

The champions picked by EDG's bot lane duo pushed the level of brutality and violence to the limit.

Draven + Thresh, who can withstand that!
This game wasn't just about playing ranked!
Wang Duoduo smiled and continued, "Since they dared to choose such a lineup, it means they are very confident in their choices!"

"Ah."

Guan Daxiao nodded and continued, "After all, it's EDG. They've brought us many surprises with various lineups in the past, and I believe today will be no exception."

Just as the commentator was speaking.

On the opposite side, in the T1 players' bench.

"Do you think I saw it wrong?"

Little Lu Bu pinched his chin, looking utterly bewildered.

"You read that right."

Not far away, jungler Ellim stared blankly at a certain ID on the screen, looking completely dazed: "He really is a support, and he's Draven."

In contrast, Canna seemed quite calm, saying, "This guy is crazy. He keeps changing positions and messing around every year. This time, we have to teach him a lesson."

However, Faker, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"You should be glad this guy isn't laning against you in the top lane."

Suddenly!

Canna's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Ahem, this one's not a big problem."

"I've never heard of him playing support, so it doesn't really matter."

As Canna spoke, she seemed to believe it herself, even joking, "Maybe our bot lane will actually make a breakthrough first in this game?"

Don’t say anything else.

The Draven + Thresh combination is already rare in professional matches, let alone against top-tier teams!

Therefore, when T1 saw EDG using this hero combination in the bottom lane, they did say that it wasn't a big problem and that team fights would be their home turf.

Just then, Colonel Guan suddenly shouted from the commentary booth:
"The approval ratings for both sides are in! Let's take a look!"

on the big screen.

Below the names of the two teams, a large percentage number appears!

T1: 23%!
EDG: 77%!
"Wow."

Rita covered her mouth and laughed, "As expected, there will still be more people supporting EDG. There's a reason behind it all."

"That is."

Wang Duoduo smiled and said, "Although EDG's lineup is a bit unstable, if you ask me which side I support, I will definitely choose EDG."

Beside him, Colonel Guan shrugged, his face full of mockery:
"In the end, it all comes down to ID in a competition."

Based on the past two years of competition, when people see the name 'EDG' while watching the games, their first thought is definitely: Win!
There's no way around it; this is the confidence that EDG has built up with countless victories over the past two years!

Say.

EDG's bot lane is one of the top duos in the league.

Both in terms of ability and annual salary!
As he spoke, Wang Duoduo suddenly looked up and shouted, "Alright! Loading complete! Players from both teams, enter Summoner's Rift together!"

"Let's all turn our attention back to the big screen and prepare for this exciting opening match!"

"Come on! The former three-time champions versus the new generation of three-time champions! Who will prevail?!" With that, he finished speaking.

System notifications also sounded one after another.

Welcome to League of Legends!

On the field, all ten players have already controlled their heroes to rush out of the fountain!

Meanwhile, fans of both teams started cheering and encouraging each other off the field!

"T1!! Go for it!!"

"EDG!! Go for it!!!"

Amidst the sweeping roar, a scene of utter uproar ensued!
"Go, go, go!"

Inside the players' room, Ah Shui shouted excitedly, "Go, go, brothers!"

Others also shouted, "Go for it!"

At this time, in the screen.

After entering the game, Wang Yao maintained his good habit and quickly bought equipment, becoming the first person to leave the fountain.

As he walked, he marked the enemy's blue buff, planning to call Jiejie to invade it together.

There is no need to say much about Draven's combat power at level 1. He is one of the best ADs, not to mention that the opponent is a Fate Master.

"Is EDG planning to invade? But T1 must have been aware of their intentions, so they placed wards in advance to detect EDG's movements."

Wang Duoduo said.

When Wang Yao controlled Thresh to scan for the trinket ward, he immediately knew that his action had been detected.

After a discussion, a few people decided not to invade by force.

Firstly, they have no room for error now, and secondly, what if everyone on the other side is present?

Anyway, it's not a big loss to use the scan to find a ward. Let Scout's Syndra eat it, so that he can level up to level two in one wave of minions, which can better suppress Faker's Orianna.

Back home, Wang Yao replaced the scanner with a ward, and then controlled Thresh to follow Ah Shui all the way to the bottom lane.

Watching the Leona and Jhin slowly approach along the minion wave, I marked them.

To Ah Shui's astonishment, Wang Yao decisively activated his Flash, using Thresh's E skill, Doom, to pull the two back.

Leona is very weak at level 1, Thresh can be considered an ADC, and the enemy ADC is Jhin, while their team has Draven.

If someone can't even muster the courage to show any shame in this situation, they might as well go home and raise pigs.

The sudden scene left the commentator dumbfounded.

"Is Kshine really that fierce?"

As an AD carry from a team known for its aggressive playstyle, and with the addition of Draven, Ah Shui naturally and quickly caught up with Wang Yao's offensive rhythm.

He pressed his Q skill and slashed fiercely at Xiao Lu Bu's Virtuoso.

With one swing of the axe, the talent "Halo" was triggered, followed by two more swings!
Faced with the reckless behavior of EDG's bot lane duo, Xiao Lu Bu was also a bit bewildered.

Who are these people on the other side?!
Despite his frustration, Xiao Lu Bu realized that the hero Jhin couldn't possibly fight Draven to the end.

So he used a basic attack, then pressed his Q skill, threw out a Dancing Grenade, and quickly retreated.

At level 1, everyone only has four skills, including the passive summoner skill, so it is definitely unrealistic to kill by force.

Even if Wang Yao were to use his cheat codes, he couldn't possibly leave behind the little Lu Bu who was only thinking about escaping.

However, after this reshuffle, Wang Yao and Ah Shui will definitely have made a lot of money.

Not to mention Draven's Conqueror's three axes, just Wang Yao Thresh's E skill passive basic attack alone is far superior to Jhin's basic attack!
"This blood exchange was profitable, but Little Lu Bu's Virtuoso started with boots and four red health potions, which is too much of a supply."

"Moreover, he has Swift Footwork as his talent, so he just needs to stay in the back and slowly recover health."

Upon hearing what Wang Duoduo said, Colonel Guan nodded in agreement, "Yes, T1's bot lane just needs to avoid any mistakes and not give them any opportunities this game."

"EDG is the team under offensive pressure, since Draven and Thresh are not as stable as the opposing Jhin and Leona in team fights."

"So Kshine's Flash was a great play, but... it seems a bit unnecessary."

In the live broadcast room, many people were also complaining.

"Yao-ge is really having a blast. He gave away a Flash right at the start, which is a bit painful!"

"Is this how you play at level one? You really don't treat your opponent as a human being!"

"I have a feeling Yao is going to throw a big bet this game!"

"..."

Although this flash forward does seem a bit wasteful at the moment, apart from being cool, it only adds a little extra health and has no effect on the Fate Master who starts with four red cards.

Draven is a champion that you have to play aggressively once you pick him; otherwise, he'll be completely outmatched by T1 compositions in the late game.

"Brother Yao, let me know in advance if you're going to do this again later, I almost couldn't keep up with you!"

Hearing Ah Shui say that, Wang Yao smiled slightly, "You'll get used to it. Sometimes when an opportunity is presented to you, it only lasts for a moment, and there's no time to discuss it."

"Of course I know this, but the problem is that we just went online."

The two chatted casually for a few words and then began to deal with the soldiers in front of them.

Because Wang Yao used Flash to force his way in and gain an advantage at level one, T1's bottom laner Xiao Lu Bu and Kuri decided to give up on level two and instead let the lane farm under the tower.

However, Ah Shui wasn't stupid either. Since the opponent was letting the lane go, they would control the lane, let the minions accumulate as much as possible, and push forward slowly.

In this way, Lu Bu had no choice but to go up and reinforce the troops, no matter how much pressure he was under.

However, because they wanted to let the lane go, the bottom lane bushes were taken over by Wang Yao's Thresh.

When facing a hook champion in the bottom lane, if the opponent controls the bushes, it puts a lot of pressure on the AD carry.

Because Lu Bu had no idea when the other party would make a move, he had to be constantly vigilant.

But as an AD carry, he also has to farm minions, and if he is even slightly careless, problems may arise.

Just then, Lu Bu, controlling the Virtuoso, was about to last-hit a minion when he saw a Thresh suddenly use Hexflash to appear right in front of him!

He had already reacted quickly and retreated, but Wang Yao still managed to pull him back at the extreme distance using Thresh's E skill, Doom's Pendulum!
"Kshine is at it again, trying to take advantage of the opponent before they reach level two."

"He used Hexflash to move forward, and his E skill, Doom, pulled back Xiao Lu Bu's Jhin. Ah Shui controlled Draven and dealt damage."

"Unfortunately, T1's bot lane just reached level two, so they probably can't get the kill."

Along with Guan Daxiao's voice, Kuri, who had just been promoted to level two, also decisively controlled Leona and unleashed her E skill, Zenith Blade, at Ah Shui's Draven.

If you can control Draven and prevent him from dealing damage, you can easily neutralize Thresh's sudden offensive.

Just as Kuri's Leona E skill was about to hit JackeyLove, Draven on the big screen used an extremely agile movement to dodge Leona's control.

He then swung his double axes and slammed them down on the Jester.

This time, A Shui also wanted to kill.

After using the Conqueror's Blade to slash three times, he immediately flashed forward and used his E skill, the Axe of the Road, to slow down Little Lu Bu's Jhin.

While continuing to slow down the Mage, he also knocked the soldier in front of him aside!
Seeing that Ah Shui's Draven had murderous intent, Kuri didn't hesitate. He used his E skill and flashed to use his Q skill to stun Draven.

But Ah Shui’s weapon is purification!
"Kuri flashed to stun JackeyLove, but JackeyLove cleansed up so quickly, instantly breaking free from Leona's Q skill, Dawnbreaker!"

Wang Duoduo shouted excitedly.

Purify and remove control, ignore Kuri's Leona, and Ah Shui controls Draven to attack while moving, his operation is very skillful!
Seeing that he had two crowd control abilities but hadn't managed to control Draven for even a second, Little Lu Bu was so frustrated he almost vomited blood.

Seeing that Draven couldn't catch up with Little Lu Bu, Wang Yao's Thresh finally unleashed his Q skill, Death Sentence, which he had been holding onto.

At this moment, Xiao Lu Bu also used his Flash, because he knew that Draven could only kill him with Thresh's hook.

So he kept a close eye on Wang Yao's Thresh, and if Thresh didn't use his hook, he wouldn't use his Flash.

Unfortunately……

When he just flashed and landed, before he could take a step, a cold iron hook whizzed past from behind, hooked his trouser waist, and pulled him back two steps.

"My god, Kshine's Thresh hook predicted the location of Xiao Lu Bu's Jhin's Flash!"

Colonel Guan stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous.

Wang Yao's prediction hit the fortune teller, and the result was self-evident.

Little Lu Bu had no chance of escape from Draven, who was wielding twin axes, and was eventually killed under the tower.

"First blood!"

A burst of blood! !
……

"Wow, Yao-ge is this good at playing support too?"

"Wow! Meiko is going to be on the bench for half a season now. Yao's Thresh skills are really high."

"This predictive hook maneuver feels unfamiliar to me!"

"I'm so angry and cold. I thought Brother Yao would pull some big surprise for us, but I didn't expect him to start with such a show!"

"You must remember, a man who can become a god, even if he plays a support role, still has some strength."

"..."

Wang Yao's predicted hook with Thresh surprised not only the viewers in the live stream, but also JackeyLove, who was full of praise for it.

"Wow, Yao-ge, that hook of yours has something in it!"

"of course."

Wang Yao smiled slightly and said very sincerely, "I bought you here just for today. This season, your brother Yao will lead you to a championship."

Upon hearing this, Ah Shui almost burst into tears. The words seemed pretentious, but for some reason, they also gave him a sense of security.

What promise could be better than winning a championship for him?

"Awesome, Yao-ge!"

Jiejie, who was farming in the jungle, also praised him with a smile, as he had also seen the play just now.

"Stay calm, it's just basic stuff, anyone can do it."

Wang Yao said it was a small matter and there was no need to get so worked up.
