LOL: The world’s best red-temperature mid laner!

After finishing their meal, the TES players chose to go back and review the game.

After the review, we started preparing for the G9 game.

Before G9 starts, we have to look at the situation on the other side.

BLG and JDG!

These two teams are also the current LPL giants, the top three.

So the attention is very high.

It was afternoon, and the TES players finished their training and went to the conference room to watch the game together.

The game is about to begin and players from both teams are entering the field.

Zhan Ma greeted, "This BO5 is crucial. Both sides are very strong. Watch carefully, from BP to specific play."

The players from both teams came on stage and the audience was excited

The popularity of these two teams is quite high now. Apart from BLG, BLG, JDG and IG may be the three most popular teams now.

The players are positioned and enter the BP stage of the first game.

In this game, Holy Spear also got the Card in the top lane.

Moreover, JDG's lineup is very tightrope-walking. Except for the jungler Zhao Xin who can withstand a little damage, the others are all fragile!
Meiko muttered, "This lineup feels very risky. If we are at a disadvantage, it will be difficult to win a teamfight without a front line."

369 joked, "Anyway, whoever gets kicked out will be in the front row, let's see who runs faster."

On the BLG side, the bottom lane got Caitlyn and Lux.

Ah Shui commented: "BLG's bottom lane seems to have improved quite quickly this year, and their laning strength has also improved."

Xiaotian looked over and asked: "Are you stressed?"

Ah Shui smiled: "So you are planning to come to the bottom lane to help gank?"

Xiaotian shook his head and said, "That won't work. We will help the superior team instead of the inferior team. If you can't beat them, we will give up the bottom lane."

Enter the game screen.

The laning phase was relatively stable on both sides in the early stages.

Although it seems that the BLG duo is a very strong combination.

But I didn't suppress anything, and the number of last hits remained the same.

On the contrary, in the top lane, Saint Spear's Card made Bin's Quesanti very uncomfortable.

After all, it was a case of long arms against short arms, so Quesanti could only withstand the pressure.

369 suddenly realized something: "Hey, look at the equipment that Card has built. Is he going to go AD?"

"Is this going to be an electric knife?"

Lu Yi analyzed: "The electric knife can clear the minion line very quickly. It can quickly push the minion line to support roaming. I guess that's the idea."

The first wave of confrontation between the two sides took place in the middle lane. Xun's Wei's ultimate skill combined with Taliyah formed a perfect control chain, leaving Yagao with no way out and he was killed instantly.

After the ultimate was ready, Xun tried again, using it again to stabilize the control and cooperate with Taliyah's rock rush.

Yagao still can't be operated.

Xiao Tian muttered, "This mid-jungle combination is quite good. The two heroes have high burst damage. Normal squishy heroes will definitely be killed instantly. There is no room for operation."

Lu Yi agreed, "Indeed, and Wei's ultimate is unsolvable. Even with purification, it's useless. We can only rely on the jungler to counter-camp and rely on teammates to help with vision."

Zhan Ma said, "Our mid and jungle should be able to use this strategy, right? There doesn't seem to be any problem with the heroes?"

Lu Yi responded: "I have no problem."

Xiaotian agreed, "Me too. Heroes aren't a problem. They're all simple heroes."

Zhan Ma asked: "If the opponent gets this combination, can we deal with it?"

Xiaotian stopped talking. Actually, it didn’t matter to him as a jungler.

The main pressure is on the mid laner, as the opponent will definitely target the mid lane rather than the jungle.

Lu Yi responded: "There are many ways. If the opponent really uses this combination, it doesn't matter."

The war horse was happy now: "Hahaha, then I feel relieved."

The game continued, and BLG continued to gain advantages by using the mid and jungle.

Just when everyone thought that BLG would win the game.

There was a problem with BLG’s team battle!
Before Bin was in position in the top lane, his teammates were already fighting four against five in the middle lane.

BLG lost this team fight, and although the loss was not big, as the advantaged party, this situation was unacceptable.

Meiko analyzed: "Have you noticed that BLG is a team that is very good at gaining an advantage in the early stages, but they always make inexplicable mistakes, as if the five players didn't turn on their microphones."

Lu Yi responded: "This is BLG's style, there's nothing we can do about it."

After this wave, BLG seemed to realize that they couldn't continue to recklessly play, and they became much more serious.

In the end, BLG took down the Baron and ended the game in one wave.

Zhan Ma summed it up: "I feel that BLG has a better rhythm in the early stage, but BLG is prone to mistakes, which is a breakthrough."

In the next three games, the two sides went back and forth.

Just like Lu Yi said, making inexplicable mistakes seems to have become BLG's style.

Not every time we make a mistake, we can come back like we did in the first game.

In this way, the two sides entered the fifth game.

Meiko muttered, "The two teams are very close in strength, about fifty-fifty, either one could win."

Entering the BP stage, JDG learned their lesson this time and separated the combination of Wei and Taliyah.

Force the left hand to choose a brush hero.

Although Zuo Shou had a great advantage in the mid lane, he suppressed Yagao's last hits a lot.

However, BLG had no mid-jungle rhythm and was led by JDG in the early stages.

Xiaotian commented: "It feels like BLG still relies too much on the rhythm of the mid and jungle, and the others can't stand out."

"Left Hand was a brush in the middle lane, and his teammates could only wait."

Just when everyone thought BLG was waiting to die, Bin's Quesanti stood up!

Quesanti continuously withdrew Saint Spear's cards.

It will be very troublesome if Card has no advantage in the top lane. He can't lead the team and has to go head-on to engage in the team fight.

However, in terms of team battle role, Card cannot compare with Quesanti at all.

Quesanti can resist and fight, and can roam around in team battles. Although Card's control is relatively stable, his output is very unstable. He still plays AD, and needs to attack again and again. There is no such opportunity at all.

Therefore, relying on the strength of team battles, BLG fought back the situation and took the lead.

369 analyzed: "The shortcomings of Card's top lane are quite obvious. This hero is completely unable to fight in a disadvantageous situation. It is useless if he has no advantage in the laning phase."

Lu Yi said: "Then you just need to ensure the advantage in the laning phase."

369 was completely speechless. Can such a thing be guaranteed?

How much ability do you need to ensure your advantage in the laning phase?

But when these words came out of Lu Yi's mouth, it didn't sound so outrageous.

After all, Lu Yi’s mid lane has always been an advantage.

The game is still going on and the situation is very tense.

I originally thought that BLG was going to win the game.

Unexpectedly, in the Ancient Dragon fight, JDG made an effort and broke through BLG's back row to win the team fight.

After getting the Ancient Dragon, JDG went straight to kill the Baron.

BLG didn’t dare to join the team fight, after all, JDG had the Ancient Dragon BUFF.

The two dragons gathered, and JDG won the game with a wave in the middle. In the end, JDG advanced to the next round, which is G9!

Zhan Ma greeted, "It was a very intense match. Both teams were very strong and brought a lot to the table."

"We have to digest it slowly and prepare for the next game."

The rest of the time is spent reviewing the game and looking for JDG's flaws.

BLG did provide TES with a lot of ideas.

After all, BLG also won two games, exposing many problems of JDG.

Two days passed quickly at the LPL competition venue and parking lot.

When the TES players got out of the car, they met the JDG players.

"Master Yi!" Toothpaste was very excited to see Lu Yi and took the initiative to come forward and shake his hand.

After all, during last year's S game, everyone was a comrade-in-arms, helping each other a lot and building friendships.

"Toothpaste, be gentle today." Lu Yi responded.

"Master Yi, come on, you actually said something like that. I'm already scared." Toothpaste was frightened by Lu Yi's words.

It's like a tiger telling an antelope to be gentler. It doesn't seem like a sign of weakness, but rather a threat and a play!
Xiaotian has set his sights on Kanavi. Now Kanavi has a strong dominance in the LPL jungle, and many viewers believe that Kanavi is currently one of the top two junglers in the LPL.

As for the first place, it is naturally Xiaotian.

Putting aside other things, as long as we take out last year's S-League championship, no one can question this conclusion.

A Shui and Chi Di faced each other. Chi Di looked like an introverted person. He lowered his head to play with his mobile phone and did not greet other people.

The two teams walked into the stadium together, then went their separate ways and headed straight to their respective lounges.

After entering the lounge, Lu Yi put down his bag, took out his mobile phone and checked the news online.

【We need to see who is the king of LPL. 】

【TES is the king, JDG just needs to be the small king. 】

[JDG has such a hard time beating BLG, and they still want to be the boss? What the hell are you dreaming of? ]

[It seems like TES can easily defeat BLG. ]

The game hasn't even started yet, but fans of both sides have already started arguing online.

At the live commentary booth, Colonel Guan, Remember, and Wang Duoduo are ready.

Colonel Guan was the first to speak: "Hello, audience friends, this is the scene of the League of Legends Professional League playoffs, and the game between TES and JDG is about to take place."

"Both teams are in very good shape right now. This BO5 will determine who will enter the winner's group and who will be relegated to the loser's group. It will take a bumpy road to fight back."

Wang Duoduo continued: "In the previous BO5, JDG and BLG fought for five games. Although JDG won, I feel that they also exposed a lot of things."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they still have hidden tricks that they haven't shown yet, but no matter what, it will definitely be more beneficial to Top Esports overall."

The host comes on stage and, after a brief opening speech, invites contestants from both sides.

Lu Yi stepped onto the stage and accepted the cheers from the audience.

The two teams faced each other in the middle of the stage, shook hands, and then turned and walked towards their respective positions.

Lu Yi came to his seat, put on his headphones, and was ready to continue.

The BP stage of the first game has begun!

BAN position situation:
TES: Rambo, Gnar, Fox

JDG: Tsar, Clockwork, Neeko.

Colonel Guan analyzed: "Top Esports released the combination of Taliyah and Wei. This is actually JDG's current signature mid-jungle combination. I feel that Top Esports must know this."

"If they choose to release them, there should be a way to deal with it."

Jide said: "This is Top Esports after all, and Yishen is in the middle. Other mid laners may be overwhelmed when facing JDG's Zhongye combination, but Yishen is unlikely to be able to do so."

"On the other hand, JDG banned three mid laners, which shows great respect for Yi Shen's hero pool."

Wang Duoduo commented: "Then the question arises now. Does JDG dare to continue using the combination of Wei and Taliyah? This combination is their specialty, that's for sure."

"But if the opponent releases it and you don't dare to take it, it means that you are controlled by the opponent and will fall behind in the BP. Now both sides seem to be playing a game of chicken. It depends on who will give up first."

Enter the hero selection phase.

JDG on the blue side got Lucian on the first floor.

Guan Daxiao analyzed: "It feels like JDG is testing to see if Top Esports will choose the combination of Wei and Taliyah. Maybe Top Esports released them just for their own selection."

TES locked down Quesanti and Varus on the first and second floors.

Wang Duoduo commented: "There is no choice. It seems that Top Esports has never played this combination before. Do they think it is unnecessary to choose it, or do they deliberately leave it to JDG? It is worth looking forward to."

JDG got Wei and Taliyah on the second and third floors.

Colonel Guan commented: "Here we go! It's the classic mid-jungle combination again. Yishen is under a lot of pressure in the middle lane in this game. It depends on how he handles it."

TES got Zhao Xin on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

TES also banned Aatrox and Crocodile.

JDG also banned Akali and Leblanc.

I remember analyzing it: "JDG is now mainly blocking some flexible heroes, so that their mid and jungle can play just right."

TES got Titan on the fourth floor, while JDG got Card Master and Luo on the fourth and fifth floors.

Colonel Guan commented: "Here we go! Top laner Twisted Fate, this is also a hero that JDG likes to use. It seems like JDG can get all the heroes they want in this game."

"Is it that Top Esports is not prepared? Or do they think it doesn't matter and they can handle it?"

I remember laughing and saying, "Because they are Top Esports, I personally prefer the former."

"We're still missing a mid laner. What will Yishen play... huh? Kalista? Mid lane Kalista? Isn't this completely countered by Taliyah?"

Something happened that no one expected.

TES actually got Kalista on the fifth floor!

After all, TES already has a Varus, so Kalista can only go to the middle lane.

The director gave a close-up of the JDG side. It was obvious that the JDG players did not understand the situation and looked at each other in confusion.

However, TES has started to sort out the lines, and the situation is different from what everyone imagined.

This Kalista was not switched to the middle lane.

Instead, Varus went to the middle lane.

Soon, the countdown entered the last twenty seconds. Neither side could adjust the line-up again, and the lineup was determined:

[Format: BO5]

【TES】VS【JDG】（0:0）

Top: [Glory of Nazumang] VS [Card Master]

Jungle: [Debon Seneca] VS [Piltover Enforcer]

Mid: [Arrow of Punishment] VS [Taliyah]

ADC: [Spear of Vengeance] VS [Holy Lance Ranger]

Support: [Deep Sea Titan] VS [Phantom Feather]

Entering the game screen, Colonel Guan explained:
"The lineup of Top Esports in this game is very strange. Varus in the middle? I haven't seen this kind of play in a long time."

"But it is indeed better than Kalista in the mid lane. Kalista can't jump up against Taliyah, otherwise she will be controlled. Varus at least has long arms and can consume the opponent's energy."

However, when the director turned the camera to Varus, everyone found that something was still wrong!
This Varus is not going to the middle, he is going up!

I remember exclaiming, "Not only are the heroes swinging, they're even switching lanes. Who could have imagined that?"

"Before, Saint Spear's Card was suppressing Bin's Quesanthi badly in the laning phase, and it was indeed easier to play. Could this be the reason why Top Esports changed the lane, to make 369 more comfortable?" (End of this chapter)
