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

Chapter 156 - Strategist Commander, Crow Top

Afterwards, EDG directly locked down the Yasuo + Gragas combination on the first and second floors.

Gragas should be the jungler, but this Yasuo...

"It's hard to say. The opponent is also wavering. Let's take Jhin first."

Without hesitation, Karsa helped Imp lock down his signature hero this season, Jhin, while Wei Shen locked down the hero Ekko.

It's a 50-50 situation when Ekko fights Yasuo. Wherever Yasuo goes, Ekko will go.

It’s the swing position, everyone, come on, don’t be polite.

"I can't swing it." Abu sighed. His current Wind BP is still a bit immature and can't stun the opponent. This increased his determination to immerse himself in the swing position after this game.

Since his intention was exposed, he simply stopped shaking and ordered the EDG players to lock down the top laner Poppy and the support Morgana.

The last counter position was left to Deft.

After a brief discussion, Flash Wolves completely revealed their lineup.

Karsa continued to be his excavator jinchūriki.

And the top laner Yuanshen locked...

Swain, the Master Tactician.

Another name - Crow.

"oh!!"

The appearance of another unpopular hero brought about a burst of enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Not many people like to keep repeating the same heroes in laning.

Audiences like to see new things.

"This……"

The EDG members looked embarrassed.

Yuanshen's choice was clearly contrary to their pre-match battle plan.

"How deep is this person's hero pool? How come he knows all the heroes and dares to play all the heroes?" Abu had a headache. As a coach, the most difficult opponent to deal with is this kind of person who knows all the heroes.

The reason why Faker in his prime was so difficult to target was that he had a vast pool of heroes, and he always had a hero of faith that he could play in any version.

"Never mind, let's fight as we planned!"

Abu made up his mind and stopped playing it safe. He wanted to show his EDG strength this time!
On the fifth floor, EDG locked down a hero that no one expected.

The portrait of a big man with a devilish grin was locked down.

"Welcome to the Delai Alliance!"

Glorious Executioner Draven.

“FW Blue Side:
Top laner Yuanshen: Tactician Commander - Swain

Jungle Karsa: Void Burrower - Rek'Sai

Midlane GODV: Time Assassin - Ekko
Bottom Imp: Jhin

Support SwordArt: Rising Thorns - Jyra
EDG red side:
Top laner Koro1: Holy Hammer of Fortitude - Poppy
Jungler ClearLove: Barrel-Gragas
Mid Pawn: Yasuo
Bottom Lane Deft: Glory Executioner-Draven

Support Meiko: Fallen Angel-Morgana. "

Keng!
The lineups for both teams were finalized.

Amid the audience's enthusiasm and astonishment, Wawa and Zeyuan were both stunned.

"Wow, both sides are getting angry with each other." Wawa rubbed his hands, looking excited.

"Does this count as both teams using their ultimates?" Ze Yuan asked. "I don't know much about Flash Wolves' Raven, so I won't comment. But the Draven + Morgana bot lane combination is definitely EDG's carefully prepared ultimate," Wawa said mysteriously. Actually, this was something he'd heard from Abu, but as a neutral commentator, he naturally wouldn't spill the beans like Tabe did.

Moreover, there is also something to say about Deft's Draven.

“We all know that once you get Zyra in this meta, it means an advantage in the lane.

Now that he's finished selecting his heroes, Wawa can finally reveal something he's been holding back for a while: "But, just because a meta is strong doesn't mean it's invincible. Just like Gangplank, who was invincible at the start of last year's World Championship, wasn't he eventually exploited by all the other teams? And the Draven + Morgana bot lane combination was something EDG meticulously planned..."

Ze Yuan also thought about the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides' positional matchups.

turn out……

It seems that Jhin and Zyra, the two generally recognized unsolvable combinations in this version, seem to have a hard time beating Draven and Morgana.

The reason why Jhin and Zyra are unbeatable in the bottom lane in the current version is because the burst damage of these two heroes in the early stage is too high.

As long as one of the heroes controls the opponent, combined with the control and damage of the other hero, any hero can be easily killed in seconds, even the most tanky Diana in the early support can't withstand it.

However, this characteristic of theirs was subtly restrained by the opposing Draven + Morgana.

Morgana's E skill can prevent the burst and control of Jhin + Zyra from connecting, and as long as Draven cannot be killed in seconds, this hero's sustained combat effectiveness and suppression power are well known in the League.

"Whether EDG's ultimate move will be effective depends on the actual performance of the players," said Wawa.

"Yes, EDG should have a slight advantage in the bottom lane, the mid lane is evenly matched, and top lane... Poppy seems completely unable to play against Crow."

While the two commentators were discussing with each other, both sides had already entered the Summoner's Rift.

While the two were still analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both teams' lineups, EDG made an unexpected decision.

"They are..."

"Change the route!?"

Wawa and Zeyuan exclaimed.

From a God's perspective, EDG's Draven and Morgana immediately rushed to the top lane after appearing in the bottom lane, while Poppy stayed with her jungler Gragas.

"Is lane switching a game in this version?" Wawa was a little embarrassed. He had just been bragging about Draven and Morgana's carefully prepared tactics for a long time, but EDG ended up switching lanes.

"Indeed, we rarely see lane-switching games recently." Ze Yuan also nodded.

After the S6 version update, line-switching still exists, but the number is much less than last year.

The lane-swapping tactic is essentially to avoid the laning phase, sacrificing the top laner to preserve the development of the bottom lane.

But in the current version, even if the ADC develops normally, its role in the mid-game is still not as good as that of the top, mid and jungle positions.

Simply put...the burst damage of the mid and jungle has been raised to a higher level in this version, and ADCs are too easily killed.

You spend all your time and effort to train an ADC, but he just loses in team fights. Who can stand that?

Because ADC has a very low tolerance for error, most teams prefer to play mid and jungle, and ADC begins to favor functional heroes such as EZ, Ashe, and Jhin.

Of course, the damage of top, mid and jungle has been improved to a higher level, and the damage of ADC has actually been improved to a higher level as well. In front of the current version of ADC, the concept of front row basically does not exist.

It’s just that it’s difficult to have the opportunity to achieve results, which is extremely challenging for the players’ personal abilities.

In the current version, the only teams that dare to play a four-protect-one or ADC-protect lineup are those that have great confidence in the personal abilities of their ADC players.

For example...QG with Uzi.

They like to protect Uzi's development. The fast-pushing system of the policewoman is also a line-changing tactic. By pushing towers, the policewoman can quickly accumulate economic advantages.

As for EDG, Deft's condition has not declined. He is still the world's top ADC and is trustworthy.

But their top, mid and jungle are good enough, so they haven't had any lane switching games this season.
