LOL: I just turned 18, let me fight back and be reborn

Chapter 296 A Brand New Tactic! ? Will I be able to find such great teammates next year?!
"The two pursuers were killed by their teammates, and Tristana even jumped from the river to the high ground! My god, what a scene!"

"BLG suffered a sudden defeat!"

Even the live streamers and commentators didn't have time to react before the player was suddenly killed.

[Wow, this segmented rocket design is amazing! Even the Mantis (a Chinese rocket manufacturer) would be impressed!]

[Wow, it turns out that Poppy in her cannon form is actually Lee Sin in his cannon form!]

[It really is true, and that last move really saved Rumble, didn't it? That ultimate move, the Prison Spear, was used like a human being!]

[I'm dying of laughter! Did anyone see that part where Bin got kited and Tristana jumped, and his eyebrows twitched too? It was like he was doing an eyebrow dance!]

Why did Bin lie to us? It's not like we couldn't lose!

[Haha, with Bin's reputation score, let me be honest, they can't even get you a deposit-free ride on a shared bike!]

Wang Duoduo, still savoring the moment, commented from the commentary booth: "That last wave was truly amazing. Master Ye and Rumble executed their ultimate moves perfectly, turning what wasn't a perfectly executed 'Constant Temperature Barbecue' into a flawless performance!"

"This calm and collected handling of the situation truly deserves the title of a great general!"

GuGu excitedly added, "And there's control cancellation! Master Ye's control cancellation on this little cannon is so pleasing to the eye, so smooth, it's like no control can control it at all!"

Wang Duoduo shared the same sentiment: "Yes! I've seen a lot of control cancellations from Tristana, but this is the most comfortable one I've ever seen. I especially remember that in the last wave, he seemed to have canceled the control effects of both Wukong's R and Rakan's RW ultimates at the same time."

In fact, whether it's Tristana or other heroes who can perform so-called "control cancellation", the principle is the same.

It has nothing to do with "priority" — it's simply a matter of "rear displacement" interrupting "forward displacement", with the second control command overriding the first control command.

But the small cannon is indeed quite special.

Compared to other heroes, whose movement abilities are almost all "instantaneous".

The Little Cannon W has a very noticeable "charge" animation with a delay of almost 0.5 seconds!
This was originally a weakness of Tristana, and it was also a limitation imposed on Tristana's movement skills by the designers.

However, in the use of control and offsetting, it actually becomes its upper limit!

If you analyze the skill in depth, you will find that the rocket jump is a displacement action that "begins" 0.5 seconds after takeoff.

This means that even if the cannon is hit by several crowd control effects at the same time within that 0.5-second window, it will not affect the outcome.

It's almost as good as having a 0.5-second "immune control" effect!
Just like in the last wave, when Monkey King R and Rakan RW attacked at the same time, Tristana was still able to forcefully jump away despite being knocked up by both.

It's important to understand that although it may appear as if they are acting simultaneously, there is no absolute "simultaneity" in the execution of code, and therefore there must be a specific order of execution.

If that wave had been played by characters like Sylas's E or Yone's Q, which Ye Bo used in his classic style, it might have been interrupted by a second knock-up!
obviously.

The Little Cannon is also a very classic hero. It looks simple and brainless, but in fact, it requires just as much attention to detail and micro-management.

Furthermore, given its nature as an ADC (Attack Damage Carry) marksman hero, it demands extremely high skill levels in marksman techniques such as kiting, positioning, and blocking.

This is also why, although there was a mid-lane playstyle for Tristana in the early days, there are still not many mid-lane players who can play it well even today.

It has absolutely nothing to do with hard power.

The reason is simply because the abilities required by this hero are unfamiliar to "traditional" mid-lane players. The cost of practicing this hero alone is too high, and it may also conflict with the player's own strengths.

This is similar to some traditional ADC players who just can't seem to understand how to play marksman champions like Draven, Xayah, or even Aphelios, whose core gameplay revolves around their "skill set".

What about Ye Bo?
One small aspect is that Ye Bo had previously received practice skills from an AD player during a fateful duel, so practicing in this area was relatively easy for him.

On the other hand, it naturally comes down to practice makes perfect!

With enough practice, the timing of using W has become a muscle response.

In reality, as long as one is truly willing to invest the time, any professional player can definitely master it. The difference lies simply in the fact that some people are unwilling to give up what they are good at and spend the extra time on it.
The director provided a highlight reel of the match.

Sure enough, the highlight replay showed a variety of "control cancellation" moments for Xiao Pao in this game. Facing a lineup where almost everyone on the opposing team had crowd control abilities, he was hardly controlled at all!

Even the second-tier Huya Four Dogs live stream room exclaimed that it was outrageous.

"You should learn from V5's teamwork in that last wave!" Zita said in a mournful tone, then continued to comment.

"But to be honest, Rumble's ultimate move, the Prison Spear, was used poorly. He almost committed a serious crime in the last wave. I feel that Rumble still needs to practice."

Letme, seemingly empathizing with the situation, explained on their behalf: "There's really no way around it. Let me tell you, you can practice laning with Rumble, but you absolutely can't practice using his ultimate. Don't believe me? Ask AJ!"

"Ask me? I play Garen~" AmazingJ next to me didn't give me any face at all.

Crystal joked, "Hey, none of you three third-generation RNG top laners know how to play Rumble. That's completely unconvincing."

Letme immediately blushed with anxiety: "Utterly ridiculous! Purely ridiculous! I really do know Rumble! Back in the S7 Spring Split, in the second game of the third match, I also burned my way to victory with Rumble! Don't believe me? Let's check the replay!!"

In fact, what Letme said is basically the consensus among top top laners.

Rumble is an easy champion to practice in lane; his temperature control isn't much harder than Gnar or Renekton's rage control.

Although the skill set is non-targeting and requires strong control, it can certainly be mastered through practice.

The only exception is the use of the R skill, "Constant Temperature Grill".

There's really no way to achieve that through "training"!
This skill itself has no control and an extremely long casting animation. Without a teammate to control the opponent first, it is easy for them to get out of the way. Therefore, the real test of this skill is the ability to seize opportunities.

Seize the moment when the enemy's five players are positioned in a line, grasp their intention to restrict movement, or even predict their next move.

All of these depend on pure "talent"!
As a substitute, Zita didn't want to get involved in this painful topic, but Crystal's words gave him a sudden inspiration, and he spoke up to change the subject.

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard it from World No. 1 Rambo himself, that's definitely true!"

"You all know who that world's number one Rambo is, right? Absolutely top-tier!"

Upon hearing this, the other three dogs suddenly fell silent and revealed strange smiles.

Seeing the live stream chat filled with "???", the live stream genius Zitai instantly knew he had found the right topic.

"We're catching the mole! I'll count to three and you all have to say their IDs at once! Anyone who doesn't say theirs is immediately identified as the mole and will be punished! Three, two, one!"

"Oh my god!"

"Big-Headed Ma!"

"TS!"

"Uzi!"

"Hey!!! Who just said Uzi! Who?!"

The four voices speaking at the same time created a chaotic and disorderly atmosphere, but they successfully ignited the live stream, and the chat became incredibly lively.

In contrast.

The BLG preparation room backstage wasn't as lively.

Tabe had just finished comforting the silent Chen Zebin and refrained from mentioning that he had previously said he wanted to practice Rambo, but the other party had completely ignored it.

Unfortunately, while Tabe's drafting skills are solid, he still has many issues with player management.

He doesn't have a strong enough personality and can't say things like "Let's watch the video" to wake up his teammates. He doesn't have a strong ability to control his teammates and can only rely on the players' own temperament.

Clearly, Chen Zebin had not realized the problem he had in the previous game.

To be fair, regardless of how well LeBlanc played in the last game, this game was supposed to rely on Jax and Tristana to push lanes. LeBlanc's role was more about supporting Jax and clearing out weak lanes.

If the weapon hadn't given up a crucial kill out of defiance, the opponent would have widened the gap in their matchup.

Actually, once his teammates sacrificed themselves to help him finish his development, as long as he developed normally to get a complete item, he would have an absolute advantage in a 1v1 situation against Tristana on the side lane!

On the contrary, the toothpaste player played quite well later on, and LeBlanc risked her life to eat all sorts of "trash lanes," not giving them many opportunities.
And what Tabe couldn't say.

As the team's senior member, Toothpaste wasn't going to tolerate this.

"Chen Zebin, what happened to you in that wave? You should have had at least 1500 gold after that wave, why didn't you go back to base?"

"Didn't I almost get killed by Xiaopao too? And Kitagawa came too." Chen Zebin was still a little unconvinced.

Toothpaste's voice suddenly turned serious, his tone rising: "Then don't you think about why they're fighting you! It's because you haven't returned to town! Even if Beichuan goes, you still have to wait for him to arrive. If Xiaolong just gives up and it's a 1-for-1 trade, do you think that's a good deal?!"

"If we can't even take down the Dragon Pioneer, how are we supposed to play!"

Chen Zebin fell silent. Compared to the coach, the toothpaste was actually more effective at keeping him in check.

After all, Yao Gao of JDG won against BLG quite a few times last year, and Chen Zebin still respects Yao Gao in terms of age, past performance, and daily interactions.

The toothpaste understood the other person quite well and knew that the person had listened, but was just too proud to admit it.

His tone then softened and became earnest.

"If you're going to play like this, can you live up to your salary? Can you live up to your teammates?"

"Think about it, will you be able to meet such good teammates next year? Will you still have the chance?"

Although some BLG fans believe that replacing Scout with Toothpaste last year was a negative improvement, arguing that the former player was already at the end of his career.

Many people attributed the first loss to the mid laner being outplayed.

But toothpaste is actually the kind of thing that can bring a team together.

The existence of such people is precisely what makes a team like BLG so important.

At this point, having someone stand up and say these words, waking up their teammates, would have a far greater positive impact on the team than having someone with stronger skills who just hides and doesn't participate in the conflict.
Tabe had been observing quietly from the sidelines. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased up a bit, she smiled, clapped her hands, and changed the subject.

"OK, OK, actually our strength is no worse than theirs. Everyone just needs to play to their strengths!"

"V5 seems to have a unique understanding of version control, but we will stick to our own approach."

Before long, both sides prepared to go on stage.

The BLG team members have regained their composure, and Chen Zebin even looks ready for revenge.

Seeing the other player's expression, Xun grinned and joked, "What's going on, Chen Zebin? Gone dark? Did Gun Bro bring you back to reality and your mentality collapsed?"

Chen Zebin waved his hand at him irritably: "Just you wait! I'm definitely going to beat you this time!"

He had originally intended to give Ye Bo a fierce look to boost his morale.

Unfortunately, Ye Bo seemed completely unfazed by these words. Instead, he smiled and gave him a friendly, yet incredibly irritating, cheering gesture: "Go for it!"

Xun couldn't help but laugh as he watched Chen Zebin grow increasingly angry.
Of course, it's also possible that he came up with a new tactic for this "experiment" that his side was preparing.

The biggest advantage of global ban/pick mode in BO3 matches is the freedom it provides for banning, preventing players from releasing more dangerous items just because they need to solve the same problem in the second game.

Of course, this will also put both teams to the test in terms of their tactical reserves.

First round of bans —

BLG: Akali, Sylas, Poppy

V5: Nico, Alligator, Quesanti
"Here they come! Judging from this, BLG is probably aiming for Vi!" Zz1tai boldly predicted, looking at the bans: "Sure enough, they've locked in Vi! Everyone's typing 'professional' in the chat!"

"If V5 is used as an exchange, then there are two top-tier heroes like Azir and Aphelios that you can also grab. That's a viable option!"

"Damn it, how come I didn't get a single one?!"

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments like "Amateur".

Instead of picking Tsar and Aphelios, V5 surprisingly chose Blade of the Ruined King and Xayah!
Letme was still trying to explain: "Xia is definitely fine, since she has lock-on to counter. Yafei is probably worried about not being able to protect Blade of the Ruined King because he's afraid the jungler won't have any heroes?"

"Since mid laners have a deep champion pool, thinking this way is indeed not a problem!"

But it was obvious that Tabe wouldn't hesitate for a second and immediately locked in both heroes.

"You like playing Tsar, huh? Well, the greasy Tsar is coming!" Zizi raised his voice to cover up his embarrassment at guessing wrong.

"V5 picked Gragas as their third pick, which seems like they're planning a big tactic, but honestly, there's not much of a story behind Gragas versus Azir."

Entering the second round of bans —

V5: Mingzhu, Lulu
BLG: Yasuo, Ornn
"Wow, both teams are so professional!" Zz1tai started analyzing again: "Tabe actually thought of Yasuo! To be honest, the streamer didn't think of that at first. It makes perfect sense, since it can synergize with Gragas and also counter Yasuo!"

"V5's situation is a bit strange. Although both of these bans are aimed at the bot lane, it seems like there are still more supports that Aphelios can be paired with than can be banned in the second game, right?"

"V5 picked Braum directly?"

Tabe, on the other side, was also full of doubts.

In the first round, the opponent took down both Tsar and Moon Man, which was fine. The next two moves were also understandable.

However, the second round of bans initially targeted all support champions.

But then they proactively picked Braum first?

This draft logic is clearly flawed. If the goal is to target the bot lane, there's no reason not to reserve the counter pick for the fifth pick. Picking Braum first is just giving the opponent a counter pick. Banning two enchanter supports is essentially a waste of time!

The simplest logic is that Tabe's original optimal choice was Lena, but seeing that you had built a Braum that could counter it, he could naturally switch to a soft support that was good at countering Braum.

Tabe couldn't understand the other person's intention behind that action at all.

"Coach, what should we choose?" ELK asked.

"Don't rush, let me think about it. First, give Chen Zebin a Gwent boost, then lock him up slowly."

Tabe is having a crazy brainstorming session.

The opposing team banned Lulu and Ding Zhen, who, when paired with Aphelios, are both strong heroes in both laning and fighting.

Braum counters special skills like Lena's ultimate and hard supports that require close-quarters combat. If we change the logic, it means V5 wants them to pick soft supports like Nami, Ashe, and Sona for laning.
The drawback of this type of soft support is the lack of stable control, which puts them at a disadvantage in close-quarters combat.
In addition, Tabe came up with another idea.

Picking support first is simply to give counter picks to other lanes for flexible play. This is also why BLG banned Ornn in the second round, trying to force V5 to move Gragas to the top lane.

Let’s take a step back.

Our Azir can't be flexed, and it's not very meaningful for the enemy to flex with just one Gragas in the mid or top lane.
After all, Ruined King is definitely going to be the jungler.

"There's no time, coach! Pick whatever you want!" ON, who was picking last, urged.

Tabe felt something was off the more she thought about it, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

"Let's go with Lenata. I feel like their intentions are a bit off; it seems like they want to start a fight."

Judging from Lenata's move alone, it was definitely not a wise decision.

Lena is a classic "weak in lane, strong in fights" hero.

BLG's bot lane could easily dominate the lane by simply pairing with a ranged soft support, but picking Lena is tantamount to giving up that advantage!

Not to mention that Lena's ultimate ability was countered by Braum!
However, Tabe vaguely sensed that the opponent wanted to weaken their "melee" ability, and since their two carries were already relatively weak in the early game, they ultimately decided to play it safe and strengthen the points that the opponent wanted to weaken.

The next moment.

Tabe's eyes widened.

At the same time, screams and shouts came from the entire scene and the second live broadcast room.

"What the hell!?"

"Huh? What's Zhao Xin?!"

"Wait a minute. Who's the jungler for V5?!"

The lineups of both sides are determined:

Blue Team: BLG vs. Red Team: V5

Top Lane: Spirit Beast vs. Gragas

[Jungle: Piltover Enforcer vs. Xin Zhao]

Mid Lane: Azir vs. Blade of the Ruined King

[Marksman: Crescent Moon's Solemnity vs. Reverse Feather]

[Support: Alchemist Baron vs. Heart of Freljord]
