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

Chapter 226 seems to be starting to spin!?
"Welcome everyone to the 2021 Spring Split Playoffs! Today's match features LGD, the first-place team in the regular season, and TES, the fourth-place team!"

In the official commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan and Miller were already in high spirits.

In the last round, TES went all out and easily eliminated WE.

This one.
Facing LGD
My brother posted on Weibo before the match that TES was back!

It's like making a solemn pledge to the fans, isn't it?

"The key matchup between the two sides is actually in the mid lane!"

As Guan Zeyuan analyzed the situation, the director's camera focused on the two mid-laners.

As the top team in the regular season, LGD had the right to choose sides in this match, and naturally chose the blue side.

Both sides quickly entered the BP (Browser/Producer) phase.

Both sides banned Renekton, Orianna, and Tahm Kench in their first three picks, while TES banned Thresh, Jinx, and Hecarim.

"Ding!"

Without any hesitation, LGD immediately locked in Udyr, the highest priority champion in this patch.

This version of Udyr has very strong ganking ability and early game tempo.

Seeing Udyr, TES immediately picked Tristana for their hot-playing brother, and then locked in Riven.

"Ding!"

LGD countered by picking Alistar and Kai'Sa.

After a brief hesitation, TES opted to give Olaf to Karsa.

Both sides made fairly decisive moves in their first three picks, moving on to the second round of bans.

LGD banned Sylas and Sett.

This time, Mai Zijian also noticed that his side was building Alistar and did not give Sylas to Knight.

TES banned Gnar and Galio, who was in the mid lane.

In fact, TES's idea was already very clear: they directly picked Twisted Fate as their fourth pick.

LGD banned Sylas, and Galio is now also on the ban list.

There aren't many heroes left who can roam! The cards they picked themselves are definitely enough, even if Knight's proficiency isn't that high.

"what?"

"Cards?"

Di Wu couldn't help but say that Knight is actually better at playing heroes who can gain an advantage in the laning phase.

"Ding!"

LGD immediately picked Pantheon as their fourth pick and locked it in.

The last pick was also Jayce, who took down Flandre.

As a top laner who should be picked first, Jayce is a fairly well-rounded champion.

"Panzer is here! Gnik!"

The two commentators in the commentary booth clearly showed more excitement in their eyes.

Guan Zeyuan said, "Pantheon! That's the champion engraved on the championship skin!"

"Furthermore, Pantheon has undergone a major rework this year. The designers' changes were intended to prevent Pantheon from continuing to shine solely in the support role. His damage has increased, but his E skill can no longer block turret damage, so now..."

"Gnik is here!"

"Everything is exactly as the designers wanted! Gnik's mid-lane Pantheon!"

Miller, standing to the side, was equally excited as he watched Di Wu's Pantheon move.
Pantheon, who even DWG was afraid of last year?
It seems LGD went all out from the start today, with Flandre picking Jayce in the top lane.

In this match, LGD fielded a lineup where the top and bottom lanes were the main carries, while the mid and jungle initiated the tempo.

Seeing Flandre pick Jayce in the top lane, he immediately countered by picking Irelia.

"But 69 pulled out Irelia and chose to face Flandre's Jayce head-on!!"

Miller nodded silently as he watched the Irelia play.

After all, 369's performance in the regular season was really too inconsistent, but after watching the last round against WE, he actually played quite well.

Both teams' lineups are now locked.

Blue side: LGD
Top Lane: Jayce

Jungler: Udyr
Mid lane: Pantheon

Bottom Lane: Kai'Sa and Alistar
Purple side: TES
Top Lane: Irelia

Jungler: Olaf
Mid Lane: Twisted Fate

Bottom Lane: Tristana and Rachel
TES still intends to use JKL's advantage in the bottom lane to launch a fierce attack with this lineup.

Both sides entered the game, and Di Wu immediately picked up a longsword and three red potions as his starting items.

Simply maximize your early-game combat power!
On the TES side, WarHorse's strategy was to protect the bottom lane.

So, very early on, LGD picked Tristana for JKL in the first pick. LGD didn't even need to check the vision to know that Karsa's Olaf was definitely heading towards the bottom lane.

However, it's impossible for Riven's Tristana to completely dominate LGD's bot lane duo.

So Di Wu wasn't too worried. They had to play in the top half of the map, and Peanut started farming in the bottom half of the map towards the top lane.

Di Wu wasn't in a hurry when he reached level one. He had three potions on his card and wasn't in a rush to exchange his health.

After all, it's a long-range game, so you need to play it safe a little in the early game.

The minion wave was also pushing towards Di Wu's side.

Although Pantheon lost a little health, it was actually no big deal.

Once Pantheon reaches level 2, he becomes somewhat of a threat to Twisted Fate.

Di Wu was slightly positioned behind the minion wave, and Knight narrowed his eyes slightly.

While using his Q to push the lane, he started picking cards, trying to force Pantheon back and push the minion wave to the base of LGD's mid-lane tower.

Once you control the mid lane, the initiative will be in your own hands.

But Di Wu stood his ground, refusing to budge an inch.
Knight held the yellow card in his hand and threw it at Pantheon.

Twisted Fate's attack range is 525, while Pantheon's W range is 600. As long as Twisted Fate can auto-attack himself, Pantheon can W to Twisted Fate.

The instant the yellow card flew towards Pantheon, Pantheon's Enraged W landed squarely on Twisted Fate's face.

W's stun duration perfectly offsets the control duration of the card's yellow card.

"Oh? Perfect control cancellation, the card has been brought to close range!"

Guan Zeyuan was taken aback. In that case, it seemed that Twisted Fate was actually quite difficult to beat Pantheon?

However, the next second, a golden light rose from the card, and the card reached level 3 first by pushing forward.

Di Wu showed no intention of withdrawing with an A, and the card player also turned around and targeted himself.

But Di Wu wasn't in a hurry; instead, Knight started moving around.

He understood Di Wu's meaning; he wanted to land a passive Q before leaving.
Di Wu countered with an A-hit that triggered his passive, followed by a quick Q, landing a solid hit on the dodged Twisted Fate.

Then, he used a potion and immediately moved backward, launching a full-on attack. The card was already down to half health; even though Di Wu managed to withstand the minions, the card's trade of health was still more of a loss.

However, Di Wu turned around and killed the minions, reaching level three. In fact, the two sides were roughly equal after the first exchange of blows.

However, this position of the minion wave
It's Knight's turn to feel bad!
Di Wu glanced at Peanut, who had just finished clearing his lower half of the map.
Little Peanut immediately understood what Di Wu meant: "I'll go straight for him, I should be able to take him down in one hit!"

The minion wave is blocked in this position, so you can use the Q skill to clear the wave from a very long distance.

Pantheon's next W is already off cooldown, and he has already triggered his passive.

Peanut is already on his way. Actually, the best option at this point is to move Karsa to the mid lane to help push this wave of minions and prevent Diwu from blocking him like this.

However, this would delay Karsa's progress towards the bottom lane, as his brother was also holding the minion wave in the bottom lane waiting for Karsa to arrive.

They've built up a wave of minions in front of the turret in the bottom lane, and Knight hesitated for a moment.

Actually, there aren't many minions left. If Di Wu tries to force the minion wave, he'll lose a lot of health.

He knew he could get in after two more Q waves, but he ultimately chose to slowly whittle down the enemy's minion wave.

But Di Wu and Xiao Huasheng were already itching to make a move.

"I'll initiate, you need to follow up with Flash to immobilize him!"

Di Wu, seeing that his powerful attack was ready to cool down, stepped forward slightly and auto-attacked a minion.
Just as the card was about to walk over and give the next Q.
Di Wu immediately flashed forward using W!

???

Knight paused for a moment, and the instant he drew his W on his forehead, he simultaneously used Flash to retreat.

The little peanuts growing in the riverbed have already arrived, accelerating their way.

The three used their skills almost simultaneously. However, at that moment, Peanut flashed forward and stunned Twisted Fate. He immediately switched forms and used his A skill on Twisted Fate to trigger his own Phase Rush.

Di Wu can instantly activate and deactivate his E skill. After Pantheon's minor rework in this version, his E skill will provide a short burst of speed.

Di Wu immediately used an A to fully stack his passive, followed by a critical hit Q!

"First Blood!!!"

"Wow? Two Flashes! I can't move!"

Knight shook his head helplessly; this was truly too insidious.

It's all about brute force, and Pantheon's damage is just too high when he starts with a longsword.

I actually realized what was happening and used Flash, but I was still stunned.

"what?"

Karsa paused for a moment and switched to mid lane.
"My minion wave is blocked!" Knight said somewhat vaguely.

Karsa almost coughed up blood.

Am I a human being?

You called me to help you untangle the knot!
We've been working together for so long, if others can't understand your Chinese, do you think I can't understand your Chinese?
"what"

Karsa is also a bit helpless now. He can only quickly reach level four in the jungle and then head to the bottom lane.

With the mid laner dying like this, he'll definitely have to go to the bottom lane to tower dive sooner.

He was also very anxious, as he hadn't even finished the first round, and Peanut had already caught someone.

When this disparity in jungle matchups becomes apparent, it's very frustrating for a jungler.

Moreover, the mid laner also lost his Flash, and Di Wu chose to return to base after pushing the lane.

"Luckily, Knight had Teleport back when he went back to base. Otherwise, is the top laner pushing too much in the laning phase?"

Guan Zeyuan then followed the director's camera and saw the scene on the road.

Originally, Irelia was supposed to be a good counter to Jayce, but now in the top lane...

Jayce overpowered Irelia by a full ten slashes?

It's only been three and a half minutes?

And Peanut probably won't finish farming; after eating the Blue Crab, he'll head straight to the top.

If that's the case, the first two waves of minions will be pushing into the tower. It seems like the level 69 Irelia is going to get ganked.

"But there's still a chance to make a move, if he's at half health," Guan Zeyuan said, his voice barely fading.

At this moment, under the first tower of TES's top lane, 369's first thought was to deal with the minion wave. He decided to use his E skill to pull the minions, and then use Q to heal himself while also farming minions.

But just as his E grazed the minions, and he locked onto the foremost minion with a Q, a blue Teleport appeared.
"Damn it, there's a TP disadvantage in mid lane!" Miller pursed his lips: "Was that Q interrupted!?"

operate?

It seems like it's already over!
Gnik's TP came at just the right time; 369 was just about to use TP when Irelia's Q was interrupted!
Even if the mid and jungle don't have Flash, Pantheon and Udyr won't give Irelia any room to maneuver.

Besides, you were only at half health in the top lane, and Pantheon even teleported up after replenishing his items!

Pantheon has already drawn his serrated dagger!
Peanut was stuck in place, while Flandre patiently waited for Diwu to land.

"I'll tank first, I have Flash!" Flandre used Point A on Irelia.

Diwu immediately stepped forward and used W. Although Irelia's W was also activated, Udyr's control was able to follow up.

Jayce, who was tanking the tower, stood at the edge of the tower and landed a QE combo on Irelia.

Pantheon AQ down!

"LGD Gnik has killed TES 369!"

"This is hopeless!? There's a teleport difference in the mid lane, this is a disaster! Even if 369 respawns, he won't dare to teleport!"

Guan Zeyuan blinked, LGD
This is LGD, their familiar offensive rhythm!

Gnik is very good at using his offensive rhythm to drive the whole team.

Is TES going to compete with Gnik in terms of tempo? That's their strategy for today.
Is there something wrong with this?! How can I beat Gnik at a card game with my left hand?
369 stared at the black and white screen, feeling a bit breathless. He hadn't played well in the early laning phase, and Warhorse's tactics always revolved around the absolute core of the bottom lane.

I know that no one will come back to help me in the first wave, the pressure on the top lane is too great.
This wave resulted in the loss of two waves of gold and experience.
"Phew! It's alright, it's alright! I'm stable!"

JKL breathed a sigh of relief and pinged the bottom lane's signal.

Kaka has already circled around from behind, and TES's bot lane has now formed a three-on-two situation.

But
Just as the three bottom laners surrounded them, ready to engage, Karsa tanked the turret first. The instant he swung his axe at GALA...
Alistar used his Q ability while standing still, knocking Karsa and Mark into the air with a preemptive strike.
He also stopped GALA's brother, who was about to use W rocket jump to sit on GALA's face.

One Q knocks up three people!

"what!?"

The older brother paused for a moment, then immediately used Flash to attach his E to Kai'Sa.

Karsa also immediately used Flash to finish off the remaining damage.
"LGD Keria has killed TES Karsa!"

"TES Jackeylove has killed LGD GALA!"

Although the bottom lane traded one for one, Alistar managed to get both buffs while maintaining his health.
"It's over."

The older brother pursed his lips. Although he had taken the kill, this was definitely not the scene TES wanted to see.

In addition, both the mid and top lanes are at a significant disadvantage.
My brother had a strange feeling.
It looks like it's about to start spinning!
