You actually want me to...

Compared to the ultimate championship, Kasa knew very well that his pride was nothing. Right now, whether it was Left Hand, JKL, or Roland, they were all young players. They could still have a chance if they missed this year, but if he missed this year, he might really have nothing left.

He could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Knight, needless to say, as the worst performer on the team in the World Championship, deeply reflected on everything he had done.

Then suddenly I realized...

Compared to Roland's frenzied outburst, he preferred facing the mid-laners on the field. Thinking this way, he seemed less nervous. Ultimately, it was because TES had won too many games before, resulting in no one on the team willing to step up and play the bad cop.

JKL was originally qualified, but AD carries are irrelevant in this version.

Roland, who was the only one left, didn't think of this for a while because he had too little experience leading the team. But the scolding made him feel like he had come back to his senses.

"Since there's not much time, I won't analyze the draft. I'll ban the meta heroes that should be banned. You guys need to figure out how to deal with the extra unconventional heroes, especially Pyke. That's what took RNG away back then."

"Don't worry, I'm confident."

"You've come up with a way to counter it? Let me tell you first, it's impossible for the Joker; that thing will never be in the World Championship."

"It's not the Joker, believe me."

When TES emerged from backstage just in time once again, most LPL viewers immediately looked at the expressions on the screen. Only when they saw the players chatting and laughing together did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully... I'm still in a pretty good mindset.

[It's 1-1, the third game will be match point.]

[It seems like one of the two teams is about to pull out something, especially FNC's Pyke.]

This thing is truly a cancer; in the LPL, only Banhuang can play this champion so badly that it's annoying for the opponent. By the way, can you pick it first?

[Pick Pyke first? You think TES's draft is too easy?]

Despite their anxiety, the spectators could only hope that White Crescent wouldn't make a mistake again. It was clear to everyone that to win, they needed a support hero who could move around. In this version, jungle-support synergy and team fight initiation were extremely important.

First round of bans:

FNC: Syndra, Swain, Ezreal

TES: Orianna, Senna, Lucian

Having tasted success, FNC planned to continue blocking JKL's Ezreal against the Senna-Tahm Kench combo, believing that a single, effective strategy could be their greatest asset, and as long as it wasn't broken, even a humiliating victory was possible. However, TES immediately retaliated, banning Senna and leaving three champions available for first-pick: Graves, Twisted Fate, and Ashe. Which one would you choose?

If TES picks Graves, they can pick Twisted Fate + Ashe, provided that FNC gambles on whether Knight will pick Twisted Fate, as Knight has never picked Twisted Fate in the mid lane before.

If TES picks cards, they can counter with Galio/Sylas + Graves.

As for picking Ashe, as long as FNC's coach has any brains, he won't do something as stupid as first-picking Ashe.

Naturally, FNC chose to gamble by picking Graves on TES not picking Twisted Fate.

result.

TES picked Twisted Fate and Ashe as their second or third picks.

Seeing this, FNC's second and third picks could only be Caitlyn and Galio.

Why not pick Sylas? Because Acid King lacks confidence.

Sylas isn't really a counter in the card game; at best, you can only say you can play him. And if you play Sylas, the laning phase will be very difficult. Knight dared to use Sylas in the card game because he was confident in his own strength, but Acid King... he really didn't have the confidence to do anything under Knight's laning pressure.

Since TES's first two picks, Ashe and Twisted Fate, weren't enough to deal enough damage, the top lane definitely needed to add some damage, which meant the jungler had to build an AD fighter. Just when everyone thought TES's third pick would be Xin Zhao or Lee Sin, Karsa surprisingly pulled out Hecarim from his pants.

The FNC coach's expression changed.

Centaur is also one of their hidden trump cards. Centaur is a viable pick in this version because he is efficient at clearing jungle camps, moves quickly across the map, has sufficient early-game combat power, and most importantly, poses a significant threat to the backline.

Unexpectedly, TES has now taken the initiative to use it.

Second round of bans:

Renekton, Camille, Ornn, and Sett were all eliminated.

TES opted for Wukong as their fourth pick instead of Jayce, choosing a champion that better fits their lineup for a double dive composition. While they might struggle in the early game, their impact in team fights will definitely teach FNC what despair is.

In their fourth and fifth picks, FNC drafted Sion and Pyke.

After playing two full games, Hylissang finally couldn't resist pulling out his Pyke after seeing TES reveal one of their hidden strategies. The moment Pyke appeared, the official live stream chat was instantly filled with cheering comments.

[It's here! The support brawl I've been waiting for is finally here!]

Let me think... The best counters to Pyke are Titan, Healer, and Gem, but I know the King of the Plate definitely won't choose those three.

[I'll suggest one possibility: the barrel]

[Let me tell you about another strategy terminator: Morgana]

[I'll wrap this up last. Celebrate! His Majesty the Demon King will defeat the imposter and prove himself the true master of pranks.]

To be honest, there's really not much to counter Pyke.

The Pyke that I imagined was powerful, but that's only theoretically powerful. Hylissang did have many highlight moments in the past, but this hero is essentially meant to be annoying to pick. It's almost impossible to create a memorable clean-up moment.

Nevertheless, they are still quite looking forward to the selection of the players by the Emperor.

"How so? It's your turn."

"It's actually very simple. Our lineup is incredibly strong at initiating team fights. The only weaknesses are protection and AP damage output."

"Oh, I see, you mean you want to get Titan."

"No, I mean, take one."

After saying that, TES's last pick suddenly jumped to a champion that left a deep impression on LPL viewers: Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear.

With this, the lineups for both sides' comedic antics are officially confirmed:

FNC: Top lane Sion, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Caitlyn + Pyke

TES: Top lane Wukong, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Twisted Fate, Bot lane Ashe + Fiddlesticks

Sublimation: Chapter 40: Mysterious Code Name: Nuclear

[Holy crap! That's it!]

What grudge could they possibly hold against this guy to orchestrate the apocalypse for him?

[Tsk tsk tsk, the King of the Board's scarecrow, from a God's-eye view it really doesn't seem like much, but from the other side's perspective, it's definitely a horror movie.]

Why be so cruel? They're just a bunch of kids (doge)

Just as FNC fans are superstitious about their Pyke, TES fans also have unconditional trust in Roland's mage support, especially when they discover that the more dirty the champion plays, the better they perform, which makes them trust him even more.

In fact, the Scarecrow is actually a counter to Pike.

Both the passive true sight effect and the fear silence from the QE skill are a big problem for Pyke.

Of course, the biggest problem isn't there.

The biggest problem is that Roland's choice has negated Parker's greatest strength.

Pyke is indeed a disgusting pick, but the real significance of his pick is to make TES spend some energy paying attention to Pyke's movements. Because of Pyke's ultimate, you can't focus on him in team fights, and you can't ignore him either. Pulling and pulling at each other can easily give the opponent an opportunity.

But things are different now.

Leaping slash?

Go ahead and cut it down.

You see, you pose a greater threat to our backline, or I pose a greater threat to yours. Anyway, I have AOE damage and AOE fear, so try ignoring me and see what happens.

It must be said that this move, in a sense, regained the initiative.

Needless to say, both sides tacitly avoided their respective advantageous lanes at level one. Although Hecarim is one of Karsa's trump cards, even as a trump card, he cannot beat the current T0 Graves in the early game.

If you can't beat them, then be a coward.

Let him develop for a while. When he evolves into the Emperor of the East Sea, come back and kick this smelly bastard to death with one hoof.

If the jungler initiates normally, then both sides' bottom lanes will go to lane normally.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the female police officer's long reach to bully the TES bot lane duo Hylissang, but before he could even finish charging his Q skill, he was silenced by Banhuang's E skill.

Interrupt the skill, then follow up with a basic attack, turn around and enter the bush.

That's the charm of the auxiliary scarecrow.

When a support has fear, silence, lifesteal, and a large area of ​​effect, the only thing that can stop him is the enemy calling for reinforcements. For example, Pyke's charged Q can be interrupted by the enemy seven or eight times out of ten unless it is charged in advance in a bush without vision.

This is the power of the Heroic Sea.

Roland never reveals his trump card, just as the Bull Warrior never takes off his mask.

The silenced Pyke instinctively chose to retreat immediately, but this action caused him to miss the best time to kill a minion.

With three melee minions dead, the TES duo pushed forward again.

Successfully secured a second win!

Should we get a vision test?

“I won’t do it. If I leave, the other side will seize the opportunity to advance to level two. Hylissang will definitely come up and take you down when he sees you outnumbered.” Roland knew this perfectly well.

They capitalized on their level one advantage, allowing them to apply constant pressure by securing level two first and controlling the lane push speed. As long as they didn't make any mistakes, FNC's bot lane duo would have to endure until they had to push the lane back to regain control of the game, but that would be around a minute into the game when the Rift Scuttler spawned.

But if Roland leaves, Ashe will be forced into engagement by the enemy using summoner spells.

First, they would immediately give back the lane control they had worked so hard to secure. Second, if Ashe lost her Flash, Roland would be locked down in the bottom lane by the enemy bot lane duo, because an AD carry without mobility or ultimate is essentially an ATM in the bottom lane.

Seeing that Roland wasn't fooled, Hylissang couldn't help but sigh. Then, she rallied her spirits and continued to look for new opportunities.

That's how the support role is matched up.

AD carries focus more on last-hitting minions and harassing the enemy; they don't really engage in much actual fighting during the laning phase.

However, the support role is different. Supports have to consider many things, the most basic of which is to see the status of the opponents and teammates, which inevitably consumes a lot of energy.

Roland and Ah Shui finally pushed the minion wave forward when they calculated that the river crab had almost spawned, and then immediately retreated without any hesitation.

It was at this point that Karsa encountered the wild river crab in the upper river, making Graves' location easy to guess.

"Calling Dongyao, calling Dongyao, please respond."

"Dongyao received, Dongyao received, please give instructions."

"Initiate Plan 1024, codename 2048."
