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

Chapter 248 "Giant Slayer Levi? Susanoo is also a giant!"

"LGD shouldn't have too much trouble in this match!"

Inside the TES base, Warhorse stared at the flashing BP interface and muttered to himself.

The first three moves by both sides were quite quick. GAM, on the blue side, banned Twisted Fate, Clockwerk, and Lucian in their first three moves.

All three players chose heroes specifically targeting Shangdi Wu.

LGD banned Senna, and picked Renekton and Camille.

Since GAM on the blue side didn't choose to target the jungler, this game will be a double engage for Udyr and Hecarim.

GAM immediately opted to steal the Centaur.

"Well, thankfully it wasn't Karthus."

Di Wu muttered to himself, "If you dare to pick Karthus this time, I'll let you experience what it's like to either die or be on your way to die."

Death song?

Peanut was stunned for a moment. Was this some kind of signature hero that the enemy jungler was playing?

It's quite rare to see it on the competition stage; it's mostly played by European and American players, right?
LGD opted to pick Kai'Sa and add Ryze to the support role.

This can be considered one of the most classic bot lane combinations for LGD this year!

"Ding!"

GAM countered by picking up Tristana and then Alistar.

"Huh? GAM chose to take the Minotaur? But there are still [minions] outside."

He didn't say anything, but Miller knew, and the viewers in the live stream knew too.

LGD played quite seriously in the first two games, and their lineups followed the team's strategy.

But this game offers a lot of room for maneuver, a lot of room to bring out Silas.

"Um, let me say this first: LGD's championship skins are usable in the current version of MSI!"

Miller was also looking forward to LGD's third pick.

There's definitely room for Sylas to be picked in this match; viewers who frequently watch the Vietnamese league know that GAM is a good team.

They rely heavily on the support role of Alistar, but
The first three heroes banned were all heroes that Di Wu had used to be very effective.

Even as the blue side, they didn't have enough bans to deal with Sylas in the mid lane.

"Ding!"

"Here comes Silas from Gnik!!"

Inside TES's base, everyone couldn't help but straighten their expressions.

As soon as his brother shouted, Mark quickly came to the back to watch the game.

Mark, in particular, was already quite excited when he saw Diwu lock down Silas.

Last year, when Chicken picked Sylas, everyone in the LGD team felt a sense of security.

"Oh! Silas from Gnik!"

GAM's coach was completely helpless against this Sylas pick, so they gave all three of their ban slots to Gnik.

You can't exactly put Gnik's Clockwork, Twisted Fate, and Lucian in there, can you?
Even if Sylas is banned, Gink can still play Zoe and Azir.

Gnik's heroes are endless to ban.

The director gave Di Wu a close-up shot, and Di Wu couldn't help but laugh.

He applied it to the skin.
Above "LGD Sylas," this seems to be the first skin besides Galio that he will use on the field.

"He's really here! Silas from Gnik!!!"

"The legendary Sylas, and this is Sylas's first appearance at this MSI!"

I remember there was a hint of excitement in her words.
Sylas isn't a very popular pick in the current version, so nobody picks him out right away.

Even Xu Xiu didn't use Silas!

This is Sylas' first appearance at this MSI, and also the first time an LGD skin has appeared on the competitive stage.

On the field, both sides quickly entered the second round of the draft phase.

GAM opted to ban Udyr and Olaf.

LGD banned Sett and Urgot.

The two sides entered the second round of the draft phase. LGD's fourth pick, Olaf and Udyr, were targeted and eliminated, leaving Peanut somewhat helpless.

Seeing Di Wu pick out this mid-lane Sylas skin, he also wants to play Olaf!

unfortunately
"Give me Morgana, please?"

Peanut thought for a moment and decided to pick Morgana first, which was a pretty good choice on this board.

Moreover, Morgana has now become a very strong jungler at MSI, with an unbelievably fast jungle clearing speed.

After LGD picked Morgana as their fourth pick, the expressions on the faces of the GAM players started to look a little off.

LGD's mid-jungle duo is still very strong, and GAM's mid laner also has to consider which champion to pick to counter Gnik's signature Sylas.

"Galio!"

GAM's coach couldn't help but look at his own players; if they couldn't win in lane, then they shouldn't play lane.

"Ding!"

GAM first locked in Galio, and then picked Gnar for the top lane as their fifth pick.

The last option, according to Wheat Tip, is to consider giving Flandre a tanky frontliner or Jayce.
"Jayce, go for it! Play a bit more aggressively this game!"

Di Wu also brought it up on his own initiative.
"Okay! Jess it is!"

Flandre nodded, and LGD's fifth player immediately picked Jayce for top lane.

Both teams' lineups are now locked.

Blue side: GAM
Top lane: Gnar

Jungle: Hecarim

Mid lane: Galio
Bottom lane: Tristana and Alistar
Purple side: LGD
Top Lane: Jayce

Jungler: Morgana
Mid lane: Sylas
Bottom Lane: Kai'Sa and Garen
Both sides entered Summoner's Rift.

The director immediately focused the camera on a close-up of Silas.
This can also be seen as aligning with the official strategy of selling skins!
The red and white phantom transformed into a cloak and landed on Sylas.
"Gnik rarely uses this skin! But it's really cool!" The two commentators on the commentary booth were full of praise for it, and everyone in the TES base was drooling with envy.

Mark was slightly better, but he was still feeling a bit unwell.

If I had known this would happen, I would have taken a pay cut to play alongside Chicken Bro in LGD!
Did I make the wrong choice?

On the field, LGD's players were still focused on the game.

GAM faced significant pressure upon their release, as their strongest point was Levi in ​​the jungle position.
As a jungler, I felt a bit desperate when I saw all three lanes were empty at the start of the game.

Morgana is a jungler who farms very quickly. After clearing her top and bottom jungle camps, she went to the top lane river crab.

Di Wu had already taken his place, and Levi could only watch as Peanut ate the river crabs. He then walked towards the river crabs in the lower reaches of the river.

but.
Di Wu quickly returned to the mid lane, immediately using his E skill to attack Galio's face, and used two combos to push Galio back.

Peanut's card is revealed: go from the middle lane to the river.
There are two river crabs, and I can't even watch one of them because there's no lane in the bottom lane, even though Tristana is very strong in the early game.

However, Keria and GALA secured level two first, and LGD's bot lane also had a lane available. Keria arrived at the river crab position early to support Peanut.

And after finishing the river crab, Peanut wasn't ready to stop, so he headed towards F6, where Centaur was about to respawn.

"Hey Chicken Bro, can you come? We're really strong in the early game! I'm saving CJ for last!"

Diwu and Keria quickly helped Peanut get into the F6 position.

The captain could only watch helplessly as LGD invaded his jungle. Fortunately, he wasn't playing Karthus in this match.

Levi was somewhat relieved, even though the disadvantages on all three fronts were significant.

But they have a team composition that focuses on team fights, so they can just engage in team fights in the mid-to-late game.

When he thought that way.
"First Blood!"

???

Levi glanced at the top lane screen and saw that Gnar was already lying at Jayce's feet.

what?
Was he solo-killed so early?
He's probably out of the bottom half of the bracket, but he can go to the top half of the bracket first.

They swapped jungle camps, but with Gnar dying like that in the top lane, Peanut couldn't even enter his own jungle anymore.

Levi suddenly felt that her blood pressure was a little high.

At the same time, just as he was planning to go back to base to buy some equipment, LGD's mid and support players, along with Peanut, arrived at the location of the Krugs.

Diwu and Morgana came out from behind to cut off the lane, while Keria and GALA brought the minion wave in.

Peanut went into the tower and used his W to tank the tower's damage first, while Keria used his Q to stun both of them.

Morgana's W skill hits two more enemies, and Morgana's Q hits the top laner, transferring the shield to Sylas.

Sylas was very advanced, and AWAQ instantly killed Tristana.

"Pull it up first, it can bypass two waves! It has no aftershocks!"

Peanut immediately pulled away the defensive tower, and he only withstood two hits from the tower.

Waiting for the turret to reset.
The cold, lifeless bull's head beneath the tower was transformed into three hundred pieces of fragrant beef jerky.

"LGD GALA has killed GAM Bie!!"

"The kill distribution is great, isn't it? One kill each for the two carries! This means GAM will be at a huge disadvantage in the early game!"

I can't help but shake my head; this is just too brutal.

LGD's offensive rhythm involves first using lane control to compress the space for your jungler.

Then they made it impossible for you to play the game in the bottom lane, while GAM had only just finished clearing the first round of jungle monsters.

He was solo killed in the top lane and tower dived in the bottom lane.

then what should we do?

Put yourself in Levi's shoes and you'll be in despair!

Inside TES's base, the older brother narrowed his eyes slightly.

What a smooth rhythm! Although Gnik isn't the type to go all out when stomping weaker opponents.

Was this a bit too harsh?

But why do I have this inexplicable feeling of exhilaration?
As an LPL team competing abroad, isn't it normal for them to perform like this?

Do you have to feel good about it yourself?

The older brother is still a little confused about his feelings, but he will understand why he feels so good today when he becomes the Red-Haired Demon next year.

"That's too cruel! The jungler farms faster than you, has lane priority on all three lanes, and the mid laner and support are always there to provide support!"

"Did you have fun, Peanut?"

It wasn't just Karsa thinking this; in the TES second team's training room, Big Yellow had already started barking.

"That was awesome! So awesome! Shall I go up and play a round?"

"With an advantage in all three lanes, even if I just stick one lane in the jungle and go in, I can still win!"

This is no longer a problem with the draft phase; it's a problem with the players' basic abilities.

The official live stream chat exploded with excitement, making this LGD's most popular match in the group stage.

After all, it's Di Wu's new skin making its debut, and everyone is eager to see it.

However, seeing this scene, everyone felt a pang of sympathy, since some of the promoters of esports in Vietnam are people we all know.
Sofm: Isn't this a bit unnecessary? Are you trying to ruin Vietnamese esports?

"Underage fans should watch under parental supervision!"

"That's amazing! What are you doing, Lao Ji?"

"Excuse me, are you now Levi? What would you like to do?"

"What to do? Throw the keyboard at your teammate's face, of course!"

"Levi: Titans? I'm fighting Titans! Wait, what do you mean Titans have purple armor?"

"Levi, the giant killer? Susanoo is also a giant!"

"If the monkey had known this move back then, he wouldn't have been chopped into a stick by Captain Levi!"

"Brother Chicken lied to me again, the era of ninjas continues!!"
