You actually want me to...

The game won't officially start its global open beta until the end of the month. Beryi is still a die-hard fan of Princess Connect, but that's not important. What's important is that the hype is there.

Although playing professionally pays a lot, no one would complain about having too much money, right?

Meanwhile, the results of the second day's group stage matches were also released. Apart from SN losing one match to G2, JDG and LGD both won their matches that day.

understand.

G2 is a team that truly has something to offer.

Although this team does all sorts of crazy things, their skill is undeniable. The reason why many people don't take G2 seriously can be attributed to two points.

First: The concept of being a loser was deeply ingrained in Europe and America in the early years.

Second: People subconsciously feel that a person who is always joking around doesn't have real skills. Just like how people in school will subconsciously think that a stranger who is having a lot of fun is a bad student.

But in reality, she's a pedantic academic, and a seasoned one at that.

He's the kind of jerk who tells everyone he hasn't studied, but then spends his study time chatting and playing with you, only to go home and study late into the night. Otherwise, given the current trend of a health-conscious professional environment in the European region, would A-P's hairline have receded so noticeably?

Because your hairline is a symbol of strength!

In addition, there is an even more important reason, which is that G2 has two mid-lane mages at the same time.

During Season 7, Perkz was already dominating Faker.

After Caps got the hang of it, he defeated Faker twice in a head-on confrontation.

While it might not sound good to bully the old demon king, being able to bully him is something to be proud of. In fact, if it weren't for the sheer power of Xiao Yang Shengjian in S10, FNC might have even made it to the semifinals in the European region.

Although many people are still dissatisfied with SN's loss, considering that they played against a well-known team, they were able to hold their own in a certain sense.

To be fair, the LPL is actually very tolerant of its own teams. As long as they advance from the group stage to the quarterfinals, it already meets the minimum expectations of many people.

Well, that is, you weren't considered a favorite to win the championship before.

After the second day's matches, TES, as usual, began studying their next opponent, the LCK's second seed DRX. Although the name of this team may not be familiar to everyone, just mentioning its former name should immediately bring back memories.

Formerly known as KZ, and before that as Dragon Ball, it has now been renamed DRX.

That's right, this is our "General Dai's" team.

Top lane Doran: He dominates in ranked games and plays casually in matches. He has great skills, ambition, and courage, but he lacks experience, is inconsistent, and performs poorly in team fights. His mentality is also unstable. To put it bluntly, he is invincible when it comes to feeding the enemy. If you encounter a slightly stronger team, you can feed them resources right to their mouths, but they still can't carry.

If you still don't understand his strength level after all this, let me put it this way: some people in China compared him to Langx and concluded that Langx is better than him.

Pyosik, the jungler, is the true core of the team, a Kindred expert, and his skill level is roughly at the second tier. He is also a loyal follower of Tarzan.

In the future, the mid laner will be either a top mid laner or a support mid laner. In the Spring Split, the top three picks were LeBlanc, Zoe, and Lucian. But in the Summer Split, they became Azir, Twisted Fate, and Sett. It can only be said that perhaps every talented mid laner is cursed with a passive transformation into a carry.

The bot lane consists of Deft and Keria. Keria is a player Deft developed by EDG after Deft left the team. Ironically, the scumbag Deft has never achieved good results since leaving, while his "ex-wife" Meiko, whom he dumped, became a Grand Slam player before him.

It's... kind of like a novel plot.

Since I'm very familiar with this, I won't go into too much detail. The passive skill is that you will reliably get lost between 22 and 25 minutes, giving the opponent a free opportunity.

How to describe this team's playing style?

If LPL's initial learning of LCK's operational style was a secondary creation, then DRX's return of this operational style to LCK was a tertiary creation.

Top laner handles the pressure, mid and jungle dictate the pace, bot lane depends on performance.

After all, the pilot is getting old. Although he still has the will to play professionally, his body can't keep up. He can only go through a cycle of playing casually and lying down, playing casually one game and lying down the next, occasionally making a comeback to win a game or two.

Then all the pressure is put on Nakano.

Who do you think of when you close your eyes? (EDG)

Who do you see when you open your eyes? (DRX)

As expected, Mr. Dai still can't forget EDG.

Looking at the tactical blackboard in front of him, Roland's mind immediately fell into thought. If JKL meets the pilot, and both of them are ADs known for dying easily, will they take turns performing some disastrous plays in tomorrow's match?

But then I thought about it again. In the original world, it seems that this game was a famous scene where JKL's Senna chased four or five points by herself. So should I learn history and play Tahm Kench tomorrow?

After thinking for a while, Roland suddenly thought of a very suitable approach, and his eyes became even brighter.

Meanwhile, in DRX's meeting room, Coach Mai was also constantly thinking about countermeasures against TES.

As we all know, the opposing support has an endless pool of champions that can be banned; there are just too many support champions available in this version.

But, ADCs are banned.

Popular Ads for this Version:

TO: Ashe, Ezreal, Jhin

T1: Rat, Luna, Senna

If I can't ban your support, I'll just ban your AD carry. Forcing you to pick the Senna composition will actually limit the support's roaming and support capabilities.

Although this would put more pressure on his top laner, compared to the enemy's invincible bottom lane, Mai believes this sacrifice is absolutely worthwhile.

If tomorrow's draft forces the opponent to use the Senna composition, we can determine from another perspective whether TES's support is truly a talent monster without weaknesses, just like Beryi.

With the mindset of "If I don't go to hell, who will?", DRX mustered up the courage to show their revolver to TES.

However, the next day...

When the DRX team mustered up their courage and went on stage, they found that the TES support player seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

Take a closer look at the screen.

Support: TES_YUYANJIA

Upon seeing this ID, Brother Mai was instantly dumbfounded.

Hey buddy, how old are you?

Sublimation: Chapter Fourteen: The So-Called Knight

Since SSG's substitute jungler Haru got a championship skin for free after only one appearance in Season 7, Riot Games made new rules for the World Championship from Season 78 onwards.

Multiple choice question: You can obtain skin eligibility if you meet any of the following conditions:

1. Play in two or more matches during the qualifying rounds, and these matches must affect whether the player advances to the next round.

2. Play two or more matches in the group stage, and these matches must affect whether the player advances to the next round.

To put it bluntly, the goal is to win both games you play.

3. You will receive a skin if you play in one match during the knockout stage (i.e., as long as you play at least one match starting from the quarterfinals).

As a substitute support player on the team, Yuyanjia had no expectations of playing in this World Championship. Even though he played ranked games like crazy, there was still a noticeable gap between him and the team's main support player.

This gap can be attributed to two factors: talent and youth.

However, what he didn't know was that back in the LPL Summer Split regular season, Roland had already discussed this hypothetical scenario with the coach. If they could make it to the World Championship, then in the group stage, under the circumstances, the fortune teller could bet on a possibility.

Now, here are the conditions.

Everyone knows DRX's strength. In fact, throughout the second half of S10, LCK gave the impression of one super team and many strong teams. Apart from DWG's obvious improvement, the other LCK teams did not have a visible gap or a sense of pressure.

Then why be a coward?

Let's just do it.

Of course, it's not like the prophet can be sent out without any conditions.

If you're given a chance, you have to win the game. This is an unspoken understanding that everyone knows. Recalling Roland's trust in him before the game, the prophet felt as if he was full of power at this moment.

When it comes to offense, he's definitely not as outrageously good as that guy.

But when it comes to defense, I'll show you what absolute defense is all about!

Outside the arena, countless LPL viewers were stunned when they saw Yuyanjia in the TES support position, and then frantically vented their questions in the live chat.

A prophet!?

【No, if you want to use a substitute to get skins, then put him in the last game. Using a substitute against an LCK team, is that arrogance or overconfidence?】

Is it possible that TES is holding back a big surprise?

Don't be ridiculous! Every year the LPL says they're hiding their secret weapon, but it turns out they've kept it all hidden until the following year.

It's not that LPL viewers are unfriendly to their own players, but rather that the family members of the player who predicted the outcome haven't been on the field for a long time, and they just happened to be facing an LCK team, so it's understandable that everyone was a little nervous.

On the DRX side, although Coach Mai couldn't understand why the opposing team would switch supports on the spot, he recalled that DWG had previously revealed that the player named BAN might be a soft support. Based on the theory that a team cannot have two players with the same style, this player named Prophet must be a hard support player who initiates team fights.

That's perfect. The system I came up with yesterday can be perfectly implemented for the opposing substitute.

"coach?"

"Don't panic. Although the opponent has changed their tactics on the spot, we are not unprepared. We will continue with the drafting and banning strategy we agreed on yesterday."

Is this really okay?

"Trust me, there's no mole. Continue the transaction." Confidently putting away his notebook, McGregor's face was radiating invincibility.

Even when we're playing against each other, we're still getting substitutes playing skin-themed matches?

You've never died, right?

Due to various information gaps, the TES vs. DRX match still adopted the same draft and ban strategy as in the original game.

TES: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Nidalee, Mid lane Nocturne, Bot lane Senna and Tahm Kench

DRX: Top lane Quinn, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Twisted Fate, Bot lane Draven + Thresh

I should mention this.

There are three ways to counter Twisted Fate in the mid lane.

The first approach is to choose a lane-pushing champion like Ryze and push the lane aggressively, preventing the opponent from using their ultimate and effectively shutting them down in the mid lane. However, this strategy heavily relies on awareness and laning ability.

The second option is to pick Sylas, relying entirely on the mid-lane's laning ability. While it may not completely suppress the opponent, it can at least provide some counterplay.

The third type is Nightmare (S10 Limited Edition).

The reason why Nocturne can counter Twisted Fate in mid lane in S10 is due to the buffs Nocturne received in several patches before the tournament, which made his wave clearing more efficient. In fact, this guy was already quite popular in ranked games before the World Championship, but in the jungle.

The passive effect, which reduces the cooldown of basic attacks on jungle monsters by two seconds after a 10-second cooldown, is only average when the base stats are low. However, once the stats are buffed, this item's jungle/lane clearing efficiency becomes extremely terrifying. Although patch 10.16 nerfed its passive cooldown, extending it from 10 seconds to 14 seconds, its high base stats and fast lane clearing speed mean that its pick rate remains incredibly high.

Okay, just take a look, but please don't use it for mid lane right now.

After the arrival of the Mythic version, Nocturne's pick rate remained high due to the benefits of advancing to Blade of the Ruined King, so Riot Games made some changes. In mid-July, Nocturne's passive was forced to undergo an "epic nerf," with its lane passive damage against minions reduced by half, its healing reduced to a quarter, and its base and scaling stats significantly reduced.
