I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 13 - League Two, the Only Rival
The version before the S5 World Championship was too unfriendly to the top laner, because there was no mechanism for the first blood tower, no extra resistance before five minutes, and the experience of the jungler could be shared, so there was a lane-swapping strategy.

The bottom lane is difficult to fight against, just switch lanes!
Although the first dragon was given up by default, the laning phase can be safely passed.

But in this way, the top laner becomes the biggest sacrifice.

This is also the reason why many clubs do not pay attention to laning operation ability when selecting top laners, but are more inclined to team battle awareness and development ability.

However, this is a Ranked match, and few people are willing to sacrifice their own development, so it is rare to encounter lane-swapping games. On the contrary, the environment of the Korean server is more inclined to the style of professional competitions.

Moreover, after Gogoing became Lao, Chinese players have not seen a top laner with such a bloody and violent playing style for a long time.

Fiora, Riven, Irelia, Jake, and Crocodile!
It is rare to see top laners like Treant and Centaur picked in this version. Even heroes like Gnar, Kenan, and Rumble are rare, but they can still win!
Although it has a lot to do with the help of the jungler, who doesn’t want such an undisputed top lane star player to appear in the LPL team?
However, this idea is just a thought.

The characteristics of the version mean that warrior top laners are not suitable for professional competitions.

Whether it is LPL, LCK, LMS, or European and American regions, Maokai, Centaur, and Gnar are the three most common heroes in the game.

Occasionally, they appear, like Rambo and Irelia.

Not to mention heroes like Fiora.

Because she is more of an assassin than a warrior.

The concept of a heavily armored warrior does not exist now.

Because there is no equipment in League of Legends that is truly both tanky and has good output.

The only item that meets the requirements, the Atama Halberd, commonly known as the Dung Fork, was killed last year.

Fiora's ultimate, like Jie's ultimate, can be avoided by the Golden Body.

Once you rob someone, you can retreat. If you miss, you can escape thousands of miles away.

Where is Fiora?
It's basically death once you go in.

Even heroes like Crocodile and Riven must establish a huge advantage in the early and middle stages if they want to win the game. Once it drags on to the late stages, it still depends on the performance of the C positions of both sides.

Yuan Shen has a deep understanding of this.

Even though he is better at warrior heroes, his win rate is still higher if he chooses heroes like Treant and Centaur.

This version is called Tank League, and there is a reason for that.

Even the strongest players cannot ignore the mainstream of the version and go against the general trend.

……

On May 5th, the Flash Wolves got up early in the morning and had breakfast.

The LMS Summer Season will open today.

The eight teams will play a double round-robin BO2, and the entire regular season will only have fourteen BO2 games.

The intensity of this competition is much lower than that of the LPL next door.

You should know that there are twelve teams in LPL, and it is also a double round-robin BO2 format. Each team has to play twenty-two BO2 games.

The summer season has the same duration, but the workload is completely different.

However, even LMS cannot compare to the European LCS region.

Ten teams will play in a double round-robin BO1 format. Each team will only have to play eighteen games in the entire regular season, all in BO1 format...

Such intensity is enough to make peers envious.

"I heard that Vincent Fang will be at the competition today. I wonder if I can get his autograph."

As soon as he got on the bus, Karsa couldn't contain his excitement.

As Jay Chou's lyricist, director, and APP music director, the talented Fang Wenshan is an idol in the hearts of many people.

"It's not like we're inviting Jay Chou to sing at the opening ceremony, so why get so excited?"

Yuan Shen didn't really care. He had also been following the opening ceremony. The organizers had invited Fang Wenshan to "share his inner world of Jianghu with us," but he didn't understand why. "That's right."

Karsa felt a little discouraged after hearing this.

Jay Chou also likes League of Legends, which they all know.

By the time the Flash Wolves arrived at the Garena Esports Arena, the place was already packed with people.

Not only the audience, but also Fang Wenshan's fans.

I walked into the competition venue from the staff passage and finally reached the lounge.

"Our opponent today is TPA. You are all familiar with the starting five. There will be no problem if they perform normally. Don't feel too burdened." Zhou Luxi kept comforting everyone.

"Brother Steak is becoming more and more like a coach. Why don't you go up and play today?" Karsa said with a smile.

Zhou Luxi was originally the starting top laner of Flash Wolves, but because of Yuan Shen's joining, he gradually retreated to the second line.

"I think it's okay."

Yuan Shen nodded.

The current TPA is no longer the assassination star it once was.

Jungler Lilballz retired after being banned for a year due to proxy playing, and support MiSTakE left the team to join the Taipei Sniper after winning the championship, and retired after the end of last year's spring season.

The remaining three people also left the team and joined new teams.

The current TPA Assassin has lost its dominant position and has been replaced by Flash Wolves and AHQ.

As they planned the details of the game, the Flash Wolves gradually relaxed.

Twenty minutes later, the opening ceremony ended and the competition officially began.

AHQ faced off against HKE, which had the S2 champion mid and top players joining it. It was thought to be a evenly matched match, but the result was surprising.

In the first game, after 31 minutes, AHQ won the final victory with a kill ratio of 9:9. Ximen crushed Toyz with a perfect record of 0-12-7. In the second game, he got Leblanc when the opponent banned Fizz, killed Toyz twice in the lane, and finally ended the game with a score of 1-8-5001, leading the opponent by economic points.

2-0, AHQ swept HKE.

Such a result was unbelievable not only to Yuan Shen but to almost everyone.

"After returning from MSI, AHQ seems to be even stronger."

"Playing against the world's top teams will lead to improvement, not to mention that these top teams in the world have been together for such a long time..." Karsa was a little envious.

The world stage is always the best opportunity for players to become famous. Many players who enter the world-class competition for the first time will make great progress.

Except for Zhou Luxi, all the members of the Flash Wolves currently have no experience in the World Championships.

There were no accidents in the match against TPA either.

Two to zero, a clean sweep.

Even with Zhou Luxi on the court in the second game, the mid-jungle combination of Karsa and Maple still made life miserable for the opponent.

The LMS schedule is very friendly to strong teams.

High-intensity confrontation does help improve the overall strength of the region, but it has no meaning for strong teams.

No matter how much you play against weak teams, it does not help improve your strength. Instead, it is just training for the weak teams.

Even strong teams may fail to discover their own problems when bullying weak teams for a long time, and their playing style and thinking may become rigid.

As the only opponent in the region, AHQ cannot play a training match with Flash Wolves without reservation.

It is for this reason that AHQ took the initiative to contact EDG for a team exchange match, and Flash Wolves also set their sights on Hangzhou across the sea.
