Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 49 EDG is really going all out!

GT Battle Seats.

republic, sitting in his seat, couldn't help but look towards the EDG match area.

It's truly unexpected that EDG would choose to make a roster change, and the replacement is none other than the abstract player Unreal. It's no exaggeration to say that the entire LPL player community knows Li Fan, who, as a professional player, doesn't think about how to improve his skills all day long, but instead spends all his time playing other games.

So he really couldn't understand it... Although they won the last game, to be fair, the junior brother put a lot of pressure on him in lane. Fortunately, the opponent was using Twisted Fate. If it were any other hero, I feel that they would not have been able to withstand the pressure and would have collapsed.

Republic is quite aware of its own strength; if it were, GT wouldn't be ranked last in Group B.

GT is currently relying on top laner GimGoon to carry the team. Many people say that GimGoon is the team's carry, and many clubs have their eyes on him and want to buy him to strengthen their team.

“He only played one ranked game in three months…” GT coach Li Jiongjun was actually a bit of a headache looking at Li Fan’s recent ranked game record.

Is this the kind of training attitude a professional player should have?

If I had someone like that on my team, I'd fire him the very next day, within three months.

But for a strong team like EDG, every substitution they make must have a deeper meaning.

It's not possible to analyze something solely based on its rank.

"Everyone should be careful. If we get this point, we might have a chance to avoid relegation."

The bottom two teams in each group will have to play in the relegation matches.

However, the second-to-last team has two chances. They can stay in the league if they win just one game, while the last-place team will be relegated if they lose their game.

So this kind of competition is actually quite fierce.

Every point earned can be crucial.

As WE's second team, their goal this year is actually to avoid relegation. If they succeed in avoiding relegation, everyone will receive a huge bonus.

As everyone knows from the news that has been circulating, the LPL league will abolish the promotion and relegation system starting from the Summer Split.

In other words, even if you play terribly, you don't have to worry about being eliminated.

Under these circumstances, a great deal of capital is planning to enter the LPL league.

The main reason was that they discovered the pool had a large flow of users, which was beneficial to their development.

Therefore, the number of spots for a top-tier team has started to rise significantly.

The original asking price was 10 million, but now it has risen to 40 or 50 million... If it falls out of the LSPL, it will be worthless.

"Everyone, be careful and don't let your guard down. We're all at the bottom, so what right do we have to look down on others? Besides, Zita said that he learned his LeBlanc skills from Unreal." Lee Kyung-jun clapped his hands.

The current Hextech Gunblade Lich build has given LeBlanc a second wind.

He has another chance to play in professional matches.

The ability to change a hero's situation can actually reveal some things.

"Alright! Let's win the game!"

The referee announced the start of the second match, and GimGoon, who was on the blue side, pressed the start button.

GT will ban LeBlanc immediately.

Quick Star laughed; he was afraid the opponent would stubbornly use LeBlanc.

What if Li Fan gets it and then uses it to carry the game?
Although the possibility is very low, it's always better to be safe than sorry and avoid any problems.

"LeBlanc was banned? I was wondering if Unreal would have a chance to use LeBlanc." Miller adjusted his glasses, his tone tinged with regret.

When he heard Zz1tai say in an interview that Unreal Engine taught him how to build LeBlanc, he specifically watched the video that day, and it was clear that Unreal Engine truly understood the champion LeBlanc.

But then again, it seems like they have much better talent in other games.

"EDG has chosen to ban Rumble, it seems that GimGoon really put a lot of pressure on them in the last game."

The ban/pick phases on both sides are very fast.

Next, GT banned Ashe and Graves.

EDG banned Camille and Kennen, continuing to focus their efforts on the top lane.

"Damn it! All you ever do is push top lane..." GimGoon complained, annoyed. "No rush, we still have an advantage in the top lane. We'll see what champions they pick before building anything else."

Pick Rengar first. This version of Rengar has been slightly reworked and is a jungler with explosive stats, so his pick rate is still very high.

With this Rengar, it's obvious the opposing team will focus on targeting the lane.

As for who it's targeting, everyone actually knows the answer.

"What hero are you using?" QuickStar asked.

That's a good question. Four-star proficiency in Syndra, Lulu, Lucian, Vladimir, LeBlanc... and three-star proficiency in Malphite, Ryze, and Orianna.

Since LeBlanc is gone and I don't want to farm with him, I'll go with Lucian.

Lucian.

"Hmm? Mid lane Lucian?"

Can Lucian be played in the mid lane?

"Why not? In fact, it's very strong." Li Fan replied with a smile, listening to the self-doubt in the voice message.

"Don't mess things up, or we'll have a five-game losing streak." Meiko was very pessimistic about the mid-lane Lucian pick.

The factory manager's facial expression remained unchanged, but the way he gripped the mouse revealed that he wasn't as calm as he appeared.

"Don't worry, I think Lucian is a very strong champion, playing him in a duo lane would be a waste."

Lucian received buffs to his Q skill and passive in January, specifically in patch 7.1.

This is why Lucian has had significantly more playing time.

Professional matches follow the version updates, which has the advantage of allowing for tactical research based on the version, resulting in strong lineups being selected.

The downside is that it restricts thinking and prevents the development of other lineup systems.

Most of them learned by following others' research after they had already figured it out.

But if Riot Games updates the version again, then all that learning will have been for nothing.

It's also worth mentioning WE's coach, Hongmi, who has a very deep understanding of the game version.

The Ardent Censer system was first used by Team WE, and Lucian was chosen as the core mid-laner.

There really isn't a more suitable champion than Lucian, because Tristana hasn't reached that level of development yet.

Quick Star was overjoyed; he loved unreliable mid-lane heroes like you.

What if playing Lulu helps other lanes?

He's definitely going to use Lucian to suppress the enemy, so wouldn't it be a good counter if the opponent picked Rengar?

The lineups for both sides were quickly finalized.

Blue side GT: Top lane Jayce, Jungle Rengar, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane duo Varus and Karma.

Red team EDG: Top lane Maokai, jungle Rek'Sai, mid lane Lucian, bot lane duo Kog'Maw and Lulu.

"Mid lane Lucian?!"

Once the lineup was finalized, Miller and Wawa shouted it out almost in unison from the commentary booth, their voices filled with disbelief.

The audience members present also frowned...

EDG has really given up and is just messing around!
