LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 166 Chicken Bro: Turn Gnik backwards! I'll make you read Gnik backwards!

【Ding! 】

[The host's performance has planted a seed of longing for the stage in Bin's heart, and the ranks of comedians will surely grow stronger day by day!]

[Reward: 300 Comedy Points, 2 Hero Proficiency Points]

Sitting in front of the battle arena, Di Wu almost burst out laughing when he heard the voice in his mind.

What will Bin look like in the future?

"Welcome everyone to the second day of the group stage of the 2020 World Championship. Hello everyone, I'm your commentator, Miller!"

"I'm the commentator, Waa!"

The two commentators were thrilled after watching the entire LGD team take the stage.

"Today, our LPL's number one seed will face off against GEN, the number three seed from the LCK!"

In the last match, LPL's fourth seed SN was defeated by LCK's second seed DRX, making the qualification situation in Group A a little tense.

So, in this match between the number one seed and the number three seed, everyone is bound to want to see LGD avenge SN's recent defeat.

Both sides quickly arrived at the battle stage, with GEN on the blue side and LGD on the purple side.

GEN's three bans were mostly aimed at LGD's players, banning Twisted Fate, Ornn, and Graves.

LGD banned Kalista, Varus, and Senna.

GEN relies heavily on the performance of their mid-jungle duo, BDD and Clid, but the core of the team is still Ruler.

"Ding!"

GEN, the blue side, immediately locked in Lucian. Although there is a possibility that Lucian could be played in the top lane, it is more likely that he will be played by BDD in the mid lane.

This is also GEN's strategy. They can't ban all the heroes they have, and they also have Gnik's Galio, a hero that can fly all over the map.

Galio is really hard to beat Lucian, and the regular mages outside don't have many good ways to deal with Lucian either.

LGD's draft picks were very targeted, specifically aimed at the bottom lane, and they naturally chose to protect GALA's ADC.

"Let's pick Ezreal? Flandre, can you pick her later? We need to protect Leona in the bot lane!"

Mai Zijian looked at Flandre. In terms of this draft, picking Renekton first is the best option, as it will be very effective whether Peanut picks Lillia or Nidalee later.

"I'm fine, I still have my heroes!"

Flandre simply nodded, and even if GEN were targeting him, it wouldn't be him.

Di Wu hasn't selected a hero yet, so it's unlikely that he'll be banned in the second round of bans.

"Ding!"

LGD picked Ezreal and Leona on the first and second floors respectively.

GALA and Mark are currently struggling to compete head-to-head with Ruler and Life in the bot lane, so the only option is to give them more opportunities in the draft phase.

Mark nodded confidently as he watched the Leona play; it was already one of his best champions.

GEN's coach is also thinking about it. In order to prepare for the match against LGD, he has done a lot of research. The mid and top lanes are actually quite difficult to break through, so he still needs to target the bottom lane and Peanut.

"Let's get Iceborn Gauntlet and Karma!"

After a moment's thought, they didn't try to steal Flandre's hero, but instead gave Ruler a strong bottom lane composition.

When this bot lane duo was locked in, the commentators' expressions changed: "This bot lane duo? GEN is putting a lot of pressure on them! Are they trying to make a move in the bottom half of the map?"

When Mai Zijian saw Karma, he couldn't help but feel a chill. Oh no, he really hadn't expected Karma.

After watching the qualifying rounds, everyone understands that it's basically all about a tanky support in the bot lane, at most a champion like Rakan or Bard.

With Karma picked, is GEN aiming for maximum lane control in the bot lane?

"Let's get the crocodile!"

After a moment's thought, Mai Zijian decided to lock in the Crocodile in the upper half of the map to ensure its strength.

Peanut is also skilled at playing many heroes in the jungle position.

LGD locked in the Renekton as their third pick.

The two sides entered the second round of the ban/pick phase, with GEN banning Nidalee and Sett.

LGD banned Lillia and Volibear.

Both sides entered the second round of player selection, with Peanut taking the first pick, Spider.

"Spider!? Most of the good junglers on the field have already been banned, so Spider is definitely an extremely extreme choice!"

Miller couldn't help but feel a little worried. Picking the Spider was quite extreme, but LGD now had their strongest combination of Spider and Renekton in the upper half of the map, allowing them to tower dive.

Volibear was also banned by LGD, and Ornn was also unavailable, leaving the top laner, Gezi, in a passive position no matter what champion he chose to play.

"Humph!"

GEN's coach smiled coldly, LGD had fallen for it!
Giving Peanut a champion that can starve himself, and with such a huge early-game tempo, if you want to take over my top lane, then so be it.

"Ding!"

GEN first locked in an AP jungler, Gragas, on the fourth floor, and then pulled out Shen for the top lane.

In this game, GEN placed all their bets on their two carries, employing a three-protect-two composition. Locking in Shen would also effectively prevent their bot lane from being tower-dived after level six.

"Shh!?"

At this moment, Godv, who was watching the game quietly in the live stream room without broadcasting rights, frowned. Although he was not in the LPL, he still had a certain fondness for LGD.

You can watch other teams' matches or not, but you still need to keep an eye on LGD.

"Damn it, guys, the draft got completely outmatched. I feel like Elise is worse than Sejuani, but LGD can't pick Sejuani on the fourth pick, and there's Kindred outside..."

Godv scratched his head. This is a bit of a problem.
"Why didn't they let Gnik pick first? It feels like it would be better for the jungler to pick last!"

The screen was instantly filled with question marks.

"What do you mean? Dewei? Starting a group fight!?"

Shocking! Former LGD legend questions whether Gnik deserves a counter pick!

"My goodness! No wonder UC went down. Turns out all the talent is watching GodV's live streams now?"

"Hahahaha, great, great, brothers, if the streamer can't start a group, we'll start one in the chat!"

???

Godv was also full of questions. Although he didn't question Gnik's intention to take the counter-pick spot, his stubborn nature led him to actively engage in a verbal battle with the chat.

"No, shouldn't we be giving Peanut a 'comfort food' instead?"

"Seeing you pick Elise, and with this kind of lineup, what can you do? You can't gank top lane, but you can still protect bot lane!" "What can Gnik play as his last pick in mid lane? No matter what he plays, it'll be tough against Lucian!"

The only champions that Di Wu can play in the mid lane are Orianna, Zoe, and Syndra. Even if he can pick an assassin like Akali, so what?

If your mid and bot lanes are both empty, how can the jungler play?
In this kind of game, Clid is the most comfortable! He doesn't even need to guess where your jungler is; he'll just mindlessly play top lane.

LGD was completely outmatched after being counter-ganked and their Spider's rhythm was disrupted.

"Hey, I don't think Gnik needs to be the last item released. What can you possibly use to play it..."

"no!?"

Godv's pupils trembled as he looked at the hero locked on the fifth floor by LGD.

Gnik? What exactly do you want?
The official broadcast showed Di Wu with a slight smile on his face.

The atmosphere at the scene was completely ignited!
Di Wu simply closed his eyes slightly, entering the energy-gathering phase!
I currently have 1300 comedy points. I can exchange 1000 points for one proficiency point, which gives me 7 proficiency points. I immediately put all 7 proficiency points into Pantheon.

This version of Pantheon is more of a support role. His E skill blocks turret damage, and his ultimate's terrifying ability to quickly roam will be brought into play by Beryl.

That's right, LGD picked Pantheon for the mid lane as their last pick in the counter-pick phase.

"Pantheon in the mid lane!?"

The Haier Brothers in the commentary booth looked uneasy.

Bro! LGD bro! My dear brother!

Can you please stop messing around? This draft, starting with the enemy's Ashe and Karma, has completely crushed Wheat Tip.

Finally, the player everyone was most looking forward to, Chicken Bro, actually picked Pantheon for the mid lane?!

Stop messing around! GEN did eliminate T1 in the gauntlet, didn't they?

Don't give them a chance!

The two looked at the fifth pick, Pantheon, with deathly pale faces, and then glanced at Di Wu's confident smile in front of the camera.

Di Wu raised his head slightly and looked at the draft. Indeed, Mai Zijian had been outplayed in the first few picks.

Overall, it looks a bit bad. A Pantheon and Elise mid-jungle combo might be very good in smurf games, but this is a professional game, and others won't give you that opportunity so easily.

If the pace of the game is disrupted, the game may become unplayable in the later stages.

Di Wu understood the concerns of the audience and commentators. He turned slightly to the side, revealing his team ID on his short-sleeved jersey, and pointed to the ID on his back with his thumb.

It's as if it's saying, "Trust this ID!"

Whether intentionally or accidentally, Di Wu turned around and looked at his ID in the opposite direction of the thumb's pointing.

If you read the ID Gnik backwards...

"King!"

The new king of LPL!

The chat was absolutely buzzing, and the official live streams on various platforms were at maximum capacity.

"Holy crap, is this for real? Bro! You're playing this hard!"

"This lineup is too risky. We can't accept being at a disadvantage even slightly in the early game."

"Pantheon and Elise, this lineup is kind of like smurfing!"

"Brother Chicken means to read it backwards! Reverse Gnik!"

"Brother Chicken: Turn Gnik backwards! I'll make you read Gnik backwards!"

"!! KinG News"

"You're all about showing off, but don't actually lose, okay? Chicken Bro, you guys are the number one seed! LPL stands united against outsiders!"

"Still united against outsiders? Didn't the Chicken District secretly pass on their skills to Chovy yesterday?"

"I believe in Chuan Gong's life!"

"Don't rush, we really can't rush this game!" Di Wu reassured his teammates over the voice chat: "Don't worry if your laning phase is tough this game, watch me and Wang Hu!"

Especially in the bottom lane, the enemy Ashe and Karma are purely for laning, so it's normal that the laning phase is difficult. Just play it safe and wait for them to come to you.

"Brothers! Trust me! I'll lead you to victory!"

Upon hearing Di Wu's words, everyone in LGD, including Mai Zijian, calmed down considerably.

These words were quite effective when spoken by Di Wu, because although he also chose a support hero in the current version for his last counter pick, he did not choose Lulu, but Pantheon, who controls the rhythm of the game!
The lineups of both sides are locked!

Blue side: GEN
Top lane: Shen
Jungle: Gragas

Mid Lane: Lucian
Bottom Lane: Ashe + Karma

Purple side: LGD
Top order: Crocodile

Jungler: Spider

Mid lane: Pantheon

Bottom lane: Ezreal and Leona

Both sides entered Summoner's Rift, while outside the arena...

Di Wu's move had barely secured the win when it became a trending topic on major forums, Weibo, and Hupu.

"Chicken Bro Pantheon#", "King#", "LGD Counter-Position Pantheon#", "Why is Wheat Tip called Pig Coach#"

Even clips from Godv's live stream were taken out of context and used to attack Di Wu.

"They really dared to pick Pantheon?"

"Godv is right, isn't he? Why is Gnik always after your damn counter position?"

"Pantheon in dire straits on the tenth floor! The Challenger side, the new king side, so satisfying~~"

"I've figured it out, why do all the mid-laners in the LPL like to play support?"

"That's how LPL teams are; they start doing these things when it comes to the World Championship."

"This guy, who loves bricklaying, welcoming challengers, secretly transferring skills to the enemy, and carelessly throwing his clothes around, is hilarious."

"Hahaha, are they going to replicate Godv's good results?"

"LGD's draft picks, just like any other LGD draft?"

Even GEN's coach laughed when he saw this Pantheon play. LGD has gone mad! Are they treating their buddies GEN like bots?
