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

Chapter 192 Flandre: I really want to be the champion!
The two sides returned to the arena once again, with DWG once again on the blue side.

"DWG needs to think carefully about this match. The blue side has banned the first three items. Should they ban Poppy?"

In the LCK commentary booth, the three commentators watched DWG's flashing ban list.

They were still a little worried, because Coach Dani had been tricked by Poppy in the first game.

We need to be more cautious from now on.

Both sides completed the draft phase quite quickly in the first three moves.

DWG has banned Renekton, Leona, and Lucian, while LGD has banned Ashe, Graves, and Nidalee.

The draft picks for both sides remained largely unchanged, and Dani knew that the draft picks wouldn't change much.

Lucian can't be given to them. Renekton is the top laner that Flandre played the most in the Summer Playoffs and World Championship. Mark is also the guy with terminal Leona.

These are the heroes that Dani has thought about, and she's focusing more on countering LGD's other positions. For the mid lane, banning Lucian as a safety net would be enough.

"Ding!"

DWG immediately picked Ornn as their first pick, and Dani quickly changed her strategy, choosing to give Ornn to Nuguri as her first pick.

They didn't stubbornly continue with the same draft picks they used in the previous game.

Ornn?

"Should we get the cards?"

Mai Zijian also looked at Di Wu, this hand of cards played a significant role in setting the pace of the game.

If they were to use cards, LGD could directly use Camille plus cards.

However, given LGD's style of play, they might prefer a composition with Galio and Kindred that is more effective in team fights.

"I feel like we can keep picking Jhin, and then maybe top lane?" Di Wu looked at Flandre.

We'll have to see what champions Flandre can pull out when facing Ornn.

"Ding!"

After LGD locked in Jhin, they revealed Vladimir in the top lane. Peanut and Flandre have been teammates for so long, so he knew that Flandre had this hidden trick up her sleeve.

The director immediately focused the camera on Flandre, who was smiling radiantly.

"Since you're so bright, then go ahead and choose!"

Flandre smiled and nodded, and LGD immediately locked in Vladimir as their second pick.

This is also a good option to pick against Ornn in the World Championship.

DWG's second pick was Blind Man.

After a slight hesitation, Coach Dani also finalized her third option...

"what?"

Mai Zijian was momentarily stunned when he saw DWG lock in Bard as their third pick.

Beryl's Bard?

"They still want to secure lane priority in the bot lane." Mai Zijian pondered for a moment, then...

"Let's have Pantheon! He can even swing!"

"Ding!"

LGD's third pick was Pantheon, a support champion.

With both sides having locked in their first three picks, the second round of the draft phase began.

This pick of Bard can be considered a perfect solution to the problem.

Both teams entered the second round of the ban/pick phase. DWG chose to ban DiWu's hot Tristana and a strong Twisted Fate pick.

LGD, on the other hand, banned Ezreal and picked Draven.

This Draven pick is practically Ghost's signature move. If DWG wants to free up Beryl, Ghost is a player they can't ignore.

However, when Brother Xu saw this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly…

LGD, are you not banning any mid-laners in the second round?
Am I underestimating myself?
"Ding!"

LGD secured Shen as their fourth pick in the jungle position.

"Is Peanut's Shen here?"

Guan Zeyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, as there weren't many jungler options left this game.

Lillia isn't very useful, Kindred is countered, so Shen is actually a pretty good choice.

LGD also needs Peanut to provide some initiative and protection.

"Ding!"

Regardless of what DWG's fifth pick will be, DWG instantly locked in Syndra on the fourth pick, a champion that Xu Ge is definitely a master of.

"Wow! Showmaker's Syndra!!"

Guan Zeyuan and Miller exchanged a glance.

If we were to rank the top Syndra players in this World Championship, Xu would definitely be a Tier 0 player.

"Interesting? Syndra's here?"

Di Wu couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

DWG's last pick was Caitlyn.

The final pick in the entire draft also came down to LGD's choice: should they opt for Pantheon?

"Pantheon support, right? Chicken Bro, their mid and jungle are really good at fighting, you need to be careful."

Di Wu still has quite a few options, and Mai Zijian hasn't interfered, even though the game has already progressed to this point.

Give the contestants the greatest freedom of choice!
"Silas!"

Without any hesitation, Di Wu decisively chose the hero he was best at.

Since Syndra is your signature champion, then of course you should also bring out your own signature champion to counter her.

"Ding!"

"Gnik's Silas!"

"A clash of the best skills is about to begin!"

Not only the LPL commentators, but also the three LCK commentators clenched their fists at this moment.

Showmaker's Syndra is well-known, and Gnik's Sylas is definitely his most outstanding champion.

Both top mid laners picked their favorite champions.

"Damn, I'm getting nervous too! This might be a skin-themed match?" One of the LCK commentators looked at the draft picks on the big screen with some concern.

Both teams' lineups are now locked.

Blue side: DWG
Top Lane: Ornn

Jungler: Lee Sin

Mid laner: Syndra
Bottom Lane: Caitlyn Gabard
Purple side: LGD
Top Lane: Vladimir

Jungler: Shen
Mid lane: Sylas
Bottom Lane: Jhin and Pantheon

The two sides then entered the second draft phase.

The older brother frowned as he looked at the lineup for this match: "Why does it feel like this draft is getting crushed?"

LGD's lineup is a bit skill-dependent. Playing around is fine, but Chicken Bro's Sylas is absolutely top-notch.

But the bot lane matchup...

It must be quite uncomfortable, right?

Once the game started, LGD kept pinging the bushes in the bottom lane.

"Check the bushes in the bottom lane, don't let the female police officer take up the spot!"

All five LGD players headed towards the bottom lane.

DWG also tacitly arrived at the bottom lane, and the two sides met at the bottom lane bush.

"Both sides are thinking the same thing, aren't they? They both want to secure vision for the bottom lane!"

“Shen and Pantheon are very strong at level one, DWG should give up this position!” Just as Guan Zeyuan thought, DWG saw Shen and Pantheon and immediately chose to retreat and create space.

The bottom lane vision was temporarily given to LGD. Once they started being taunted, Pantheon would follow up with crowd control and Sylas would then follow up with damage.

One of them might be instantly killed, so giving this position to LGD is the best option.

After helping Mark and GALA secure their positions in the bottom lane, Flandre also placed wards on the lane to protect the bottom lane matchup.

But Beryl wasn't idle either; he went home, changed his scanner, and went online.

LGD's lineup might have strong level 1 control combos, but in a 2v2 bot lane matchup, Caitlyn has more say.

After Beryl switched to scanning the bushes and regained vision of them, the female police officer Bard still had an absolute advantage.

"This bot lane matchup... is really stressful?" Mark couldn't help but purse his lips as Beryl moved in and out of the bushes, coordinating with the female police officer to pick off enemies.

Jhin only has four bullets in total. It's impossible to expect GALA to both push the lane and come up to help him pick off enemies, right?
This bot lane duo... seems to be having a tough time against the enemy Caitlyn bot lane.
Furthermore, Peanut was still heading towards the top half of the jungle, and this game…

LGD's bot lane is in a very uncomfortable position. Poppy is a surprise tactic that works once, but when it comes to the basics of laning, it's not a good option.

The bottom lane is starting to struggle!
After securing level two, Beryl forced LGD's bot lane duo under their tower and immediately headed towards the mid lane.

A standard level 2 roam, originally in the mid lane, Di Wuxue's E hit the chain in the first wave, and he gained a little advantage by slightly trading blows.

However, Bard, who reached the mid lane at level two, left Di Wu somewhat helpless.

"So you always come to mid at level two to see what happens, no matter what you play?"

And this Bard…

By placing two cappuccinos on Syndra and helping her push the lane, Xu Ge's Syndra now has absolute lane control, both in terms of health and lane priority.

After finishing his own half of the board, Canyon immediately changed his strategy upon seeing this.

"Can I go into their jungle?"

He pinged the signal at F6. Shen's refresh was already slower than Blind Man's, and at this moment he had just reached the F6 position.

Di Wu quickly realized DWG's idea. Now, the mid lane had no lane priority and even the top laner Nuguri was pushing the lane forward.

Vladimir doesn't have a good way to deal with Ornn right now, and Canyon will definitely go into Peanut's jungle to put pressure on him.

"Wanghu, let's switch jungle areas! Flandre, be careful in the top lane, I don't have lane priority!"

Di Wu pulled Peanut to the mid lane to help him push the minion wave forward, while they headed towards DWG's bottom side of the map together.

The two sides quickly completed the exchange of jungle camps, and... LGD's mid and jungle players did not choose to farm jungle monsters first, but instead headed directly towards the bottom lane.

"Oh? Syndra went to help Lee Sin invade. This round is actually LGD's round. They pushed the mid lane, and the mid and jungle both moved towards the bottom lane. At this position, DWG only has Caitlyn in the bottom lane."

LGD's sudden change of tactics left Ghost in the bottom lane with no time to retreat.

Just as he reached the bottom lane's first tower, Peanut and Diwu had already flanked him from behind.

Pantheon and Jhin led the minion wave in from the front, but in DWG's top half, the top lane also completed a four-man gank on Vladimir.

"Are both sides switching sides? Ghost probably has no more options left."

As Guan Zeyuan provided commentary, Ghost in the bottom lane was pinned down by Pantheon's sit-down, so he simply didn't bother using Cleanse.

There was no room for maneuver in this wave, so Di Wu immediately followed up, and Peanut continued to taunt.

Sylas took down Ghost with a single AW.

"First Blood!"

A cold female voice echoed throughout Summoner's Rift.

Meanwhile, on the top lane, Flandre remained remarkably calm despite being surrounded by four DWG players.

The opposing team has limited crowd control abilities, so he used an AQE combo on Syndra, who was closing in from behind.

He triggered his Phase Rush, and Ornn charged straight at him, using his W to tank the turret's damage first.

Canyon, being quite experienced, landed a W on Ornn, intending to use E to slow down Vladimir first, but Xu Ge also threw a W at him.

Flandre made a quick decision, activating her W and pulling towards her second tower, then flashing back to avoid being slowed by Lee Sin.

Using the speed boost from the Cloak of Aura and Phase Rush, he quickly distanced himself from Syndra and Bard.

"what?"

The vampire's W skill also slowed down both himself and Bard.

My bot lane has already been killed, so I have to take down this vampire in the top lane!

Otherwise, it would be too much of a loss to trade, but Flandre maintained absolute focus, dodging Xu Ge's Q with a twist of her body.

With another quick turn and twist, he dodged Bard's Q skill.

???

OMG! ?
Xu Ge's next EQ move was to hide the ball and stun the vampire, but Flandre pulled back at a right angle with her last move.

The Q skill hidden under the E was perfectly dodged, and Xu Ge's E actually helped the vampire push away by 10%.

"Wow!? Fran!!!"

"I've never seen Fran so determined to win!!!"

In the second stream of K-Dog's live broadcast room, he stared wide-eyed at Flando's operations and subtle positioning.

this.
Flandre?
What are you trying to do?!

"Holy crap? If you had been this good back then, wouldn't you have made it to the World Championship in a best-of-one series?" Lao K chewed on his lips.

My body started trembling uncontrollably, after Chicken Nick's pentakill with Tristana in the last game.

Flandre's signature vampire form managed to dodge so many crucial skills while surrounded by four people.

They actually managed to survive!?

The second stream of comments was completely overwhelmed.

"My goodness, I get it now! K-God is giving LPL players weight training! Isn't that how Sofm, Gnik, and Flandre were trained?"

"When one dog falls, all things come to life in this place~~So comfortable!"

"Flandre! The Snake Team is still giving it their all!"

Flandre: I want to win so badly! I want to be the champion so badly!!

"They all came from the Snake Team, so why is there such a difference?"

"Just how many championships did K-Dog ruin for the Snake Team?"

"It's alright, the flowerpot is up there, isn't it? Chicken Bro hasn't given up on you, how could Sesshomaru despise Jaken!"

???

What do you mean by "I ruined so many of Snake Team's championships"?

Upon seeing this comment, Lao K's body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned red.

This is not a performance, nor is it acting!
The true warmth of the red is always implied!

During LGD's voice chat, Peanut switched screens and stared wide-eyed at Flandre's gameplay in the top lane.
Damn it?

Who are you!? You are Flandre!?

Are you the same player who keeps dying in practice matches?
Flandre simply smiled and exchanged a glance with Peanut, as if to say...
"If scrims were valid, Zita would have taken them down with a single shot by now!"

"Ah!"

In Da Zi's second live stream, Da Zi leaned back in her seat and pursed her lips: "Holy crap? This vampire is so cool!"

"Flandre really... really wanted to win!"

"However, DWG's lineup has relatively little crowd control, making it difficult to keep a Vladimir with W, Flash, Phase Rush, and Nimbus Cloak in the front line, right?"

The entire LGD team is giving it their all!
The broadcast showed a replay of Flandre calmly dodging skills when surrounded by four people in the top lane.
Inside LDL's RYL base, Sask smiled with relief as he watched Xu Ge's consecutive empty WQs.

"Brother Xu is amazing! No! Brother Xu is amazing in the city!!!"

"Not even a single Q? Brother Xu!"

"Hehe~~"
