You actually want me to...

Compilation: Chapter 115: Once the light is off, the big one comes.

"This guy is crazy. This kind of playstyle would be a liability on any team, but why does he always manage to make it work?" In the EDG meeting room, watching Banhuang's sudden Alistar attack, a group of coaches and analysts, including Clearlove and Abu, gave the above comments.

Seriously, I've seen crazy people, but I've never seen anyone this crazy.

Why didn't Xiaohu and Xiaoming suspect Niu Tou when they saw the other four players but not Niu Tou? Because in most cases, the support role is responsible for setting up vision. In such a crucial situation as a dragon-drawing team, even a difference in vision can lead to two different outcomes.

Just like in this wave, if the Minotaur were at the Elemental Dragon, then putting everything else aside, Roland would at least have the confidence and strength to make it impossible for Xiaoming to see Nightmare's location, let alone create an opportunity for Xiaoming to ward behind the enemy, because he is good at this.

But that's exactly what he did.

"Actually, looking at it from the results perspective, this strategy doesn't seem wrong. Logically speaking, even if the opponent sees Nightmare's location, is it useful for RNG?"

After a moment of contemplation, Abu offered his opinion.

With a strong engage combo like Hecarim and Nocturne, it doesn't matter whether the enemy knows their position or not. They can initiate a team fight even if they engage head-on, and they can still kill the AD carry who is meant to be killed.

Why?

Because RNG's lineup has absolutely no ability to initiate without Camille on the field.

One wrong step leads to another. Without Camille's initial damage and crowd control, Udyr and Riel's damage alone is not enough to kill Draven. Instead, they are chased all over the map by Draven after the crowd control ends.

The enemy's BOSS failed to take down the enemy's control combo and triggered the mechanism, while our BOSS was instead killed by the enemy's lucky player who triggered a critical hit. How can we fight this team battle?

Beat the chicken neck!

"How about that? Wasn't my handling of this situation awesome?"

On the top lane, Roland's Alistar was using his ultimate and getting beaten up by Camille, but he still didn't forget to brag to his teammates. This interruption of the teleport in the top lane was equivalent to forcibly breaking the most crucial link in RNG's lineup. The only difference left was how many deaths the opponent would suffer; there was no difference between winning and losing.

"Nice, as expected of you. This little tiger will probably eat beef for three days straight to vent his anger when he gets back!"

"Hurry, hurry, kill more. Killing one is a huge loss, killing two is a big loss, killing three is a small loss, and killing four is a small profit."

"Hmm? How come it's only a small profit? There are also big profits and huge profits!"

"A big win would be if I didn't die, and a huge win would be if I not only survived but also managed to kill Camille on the other side. However, that's basically impossible. Leaving room for maneuver is just to give myself some direction to work towards. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would give myself a perfect score."

The remaining four members of TES: .....((/- -)/

In a 1-for-3 exchange, thanks to the efforts of everyone in TES, they managed to achieve a "small loss" outcome, while also gaining a valuable Dragon of the Endless Dragon.

At this point, RNG can basically be considered finished.

[First there was the Nightmare Scarecrow, now there's the Nightmare Centaur; this thing is truly versatile.]

[This is outrageous! This Nightmare got ganked so many times and still couldn't level up or get any items, but then he flew in, used his AQ combo to engage, and Tristana lost most of her health instantly. Is this what AD carries are like?]

The "lights out" strategy is quite effective against other teams, but it doesn't work well against FPX.

Am I the only one who thinks this guy is getting more and more outrageous? I spent ages guessing what his runes were for at the start of the game, and it turns out it was to teleport to the side lane to solo Camille. It's just ridiculous!

Seriously, it's all about making things interesting.

Just when everyone thought Roland was about to run out of ideas, he always managed to pull off a surprising move. In professional competitions, it's not a problem to come up with new strategies, the problem is when the audience actually believes them.

If a bunch of players are one-on-one guarding "James" in ranked games after tonight, will we still be able to climb the ranks?

A few minutes later, when the elemental dragon reached the last one, TES initiated a team fight, and RNG no longer held back.

Open your eyes, turn off the lights, and release your troops!

Use your ultimate to confirm the AD position.

Nightmare uses its ultimate ability to block the enemy's vision.

Centaur unleashes his ultimate, disrupting the enemy's formation.

As for Draven and Alistar at the end? Just follow them and pick up the kills.

Under TES's all-out, do-what-you-want system, Ga La had absolutely no room to resist. He was instantly killed as soon as it got dark and his screen went black as soon as it got light. It was a black-and-white game.

"Hey, hey, be gentle. You're going to cause a lot of psychological trauma to people's hearts."

"Huh? What kind of trauma could this be? It's not like the kind of dirty psychological warfare you play. At most, he might hear a horse neighing when it gets dark. It's not a big problem."

JKL and his group scoffed, unimpressed, and thought he was being a bit too overbearing.

"No, think about it, when you watch a movie, isn't the screen black for the first few seconds?"

"It seems so."

"If the screen goes black, and he and his teammates are watching a video together when the sound of a horse neighing suddenly comes to mind, and he subconsciously shouts that this video has a horse, how many great instructional videos will they miss?"

"That seems to be the case..."

After thinking about it for a while, everyone agreed that what he said made sense.

"Shall we slow down the pace?" A-Le asked somewhat uncertainly. After all, RNG was his personal old enemy, and he was the one who enjoyed charging in the most. Since this system was formed, A-Le's smile had never stopped, and he even looked forward to the next wave of attacks. He was addicted to playing.

"Slow down what? Slow down, of course! If they don't watch, we can take over and fill in the gaps by saying we're willing to take over. Hurry up, go in as soon as the cooldown is over. Don't give the other side any breathing room. Try to give them a psychological trauma in one go."

The remaining four members of TES: ......

At Roland's instruction, for the rest of the time, only three things were playing out endlessly on the screen in the corner:

Go out to farm minions, turn off the lights and get knocked away, turn the lights back on and wait to respawn in the fountain.

Infinite loop.

His expression changed from initial defiance to anger, then to rage, then to relaxation, then to calmness, and now even a few ambiguous smiles, which startled Ming and Guozi, who had been watching his condition closely.

Seeing this, Ming decisively gave up and stopped resisting.

26 minutes 49 seconds.

With TES unleashing a final burst of damage with their wards open and lights off, RNG finally couldn't withstand the onslaught of TES's lineup and were wiped out in front of their high ground.

1:1.

TES, relying on its unique system, successfully turned the tide and won a game.

Summary: Chapter 116: Ditto Online

This match was exciting.

Even though pigs and dogs didn't participate in the battle, their spirit was still subtly and quietly passed on—that's what inheritance is.

[The first game was a four-protect-one strategy, the second game was a level 2 gank on the bottom, I don't even dare to think about what will happen in the third game.]

After the second game, Draven definitely can't play anymore.

To be honest, the core of TES's lineup in the second game was Draven. If it weren't for Draven's passive, which is such a cheating mechanism, they wouldn't have chosen to recklessly trade kills with the opponent.

it's good now.

RNG, on the blue side, will face immense pressure in the third game.

We need to consider the top lane trio of Jayce-Lucian-short-range top laners, the jungle T0 champions Lillia, Hecarim, and Udyr, the mid lane T0 champions Orianna and Zoe, the bot lane T0 support Thresh, and a bunch of top AD carries.

The only saving grace is that they don't need to consider the Ornn/Aeon Man comp, because Ale doesn't play Ornn at all.

How do we play this third round?

In the RNG training room, Coach Wei, who has the most volatile temper, is a bit angry. He almost recited the legendary "How do I go when the bot lane calls me?" in front of the vlog cameraman, but thankfully he held back.

Really.

While sitting in the wilderness, "good news" came from all around.

Any jungler would feel bad after facing this situation, especially since the top laner's teleport was interrupted by the enemy in the crucial team fight, making them a laughing stock. Such demoralizing plays are extremely detrimental at this moment.

"What other way can we fight? We don't have a second set of tactics, so we'll just have to make do with what we have."

Xiaohu and Xiaoming are veteran players, so their mentality is okay. The key is the AD carry. In the second game, the AD carry was targeted, and the kind of targeted that made him feel like he was being relentlessly attacked. His playstyle was particularly disgusting.

Gala is clearly still not fully recovered, but he's much better than before. It's just a matter of whether this will affect his performance going forward. That's why they particularly dislike playing against teams like TES that are prone to unpredictable events, because there are just too many unexpected things that can happen.

Meanwhile, in the TES lounge.

At this moment, the players were trying to distract themselves while listening to White Crescent's commentary. However, Roland was different. He was looking at his phone. Just after the second game, his phone was unsurprisingly flooded with messages. He was chatting with Meiko from EDG on WeChat.

Who would have thought of such a disgusting and rotten lineup?

[What do you mean? When other teams use tactics, you criticize them with strategy and open-mindedness, but when our team uses tactics, we're met with insults and slurs. What did we do to deserve this?]

[There's nothing we can do, you know how famous you are. But thanks to you guys, after playing against you, Jiejie and Junjia seem to have awakened, their form has been explosive lately, and they've been on a winning streak. The factory manager is laughing his head off.]

[That's normal. When you find out your dad has an illegitimate child who's older than you, you'll also work harder and be more ambitious.]

【? ? ? 】

When Roland finished dealing with Meiko on the other side and turned around, it was time for him to go on stage again. For him, the draft phase was no longer relevant to him. As the saying goes, all unconventional strategies need to be based on the current version to be viable in matches. For example, Nocturne was able to be played in matches because of three factors: first, the team composition; second, the recent buffs; and third, he was really good against Camille. If any one of these conditions was missing, releasing him would be a pure feed, and he simply couldn't pull it off.

As for the current version...

It can only be said that until the designer's mind returns to normal, he can only play with those version-specific auxiliary tools and a small number of general auxiliary tools for the time being.

A few minutes later.

As the players from both sides returned to their seats, the final game of the BO3 series officially began.

First round of bans:

RNG: Draven, Orianna, Zoe

TES: Thresh, Ryze, Alistar

As usual, RNG had to pave the way for Guozi, while TES, in a rather inhumane move, banned all the support champions in the current meta, forcibly eliminating Guozi's first-pick support role.

There are currently only three commonly used support champions: Leona, Nautilus, and Gragas.

Leona is vulnerable to damage and easily melts in this version, and her crowd control isn't as reliable as the other two. Nautilus has a hook and ultimate that can turn the tide of battle, but unfortunately, he's still a super minion in the mid-to-late game. Gragas is a bit of everything, but relatively unreliable.

TES isn't afraid of RNG first-picking Gragas because Ming won't.

It's not that he can't play it. Back in 18, he could still play it. He even showed off a Gragas support game at the Asian Games. Back then, he had great skills in all sorts of details. But in the last two or three years, he has only touched Gragas a handful of times. And this champion is one that requires a lot of skill to play.

There was no other way, so RNG had to shift their focus and start competing for other items.

One round of PICK:

RNG: Lillia (first pick), Syndra, Nautilus

TES: Cards + Centaur (choose one or two), Gragas
