You actually want me to...

In the ecosystem of Summoner's Rift, the best approach is always to pair men and women together so that the work is easier. If that's not possible, then pairing men is the second best option, and pairing women is the worst choice, because most female heroes are relatively fragile. Leona and Riven are exceptions.

It's like at a wedding, we sometimes see the ex-boyfriend's table, but not the ex-girlfriend's table.

Because it's easy for a fight to break out.

As the saying goes, those who have fought in the same trench are brothers, and those who have held the same gun are enemies.

Only by pairing men and women and balancing yin and yang can the combat power of the bottom lane be maximized. Of course, TES's point after all this is that although Rakan has been nerfed, if you meet the condition of Xayah and give him to Roland, I advise you to think carefully about whether you can handle it.

The answer is obvious: EDG doesn't dare to take that risk.

As seen in yesterday's final match, this guy's flanking maneuvers were absolutely insane. He even utilized blind spots in every corner, truly a master of creating a fog of war.

Yesterday, if they gave RNG a Lee Sin, they would kick him into a summer of glory. If they give them Rakan today, won't they repeat the XX economic comeback?

We can't let it go, absolutely we can't let it go!

Second round of bans: Sylas, Kai'Sa, Gnar, and Jax were all banned.

Top lane Nocturne is pretty good against most top laners, but there's one champion that's a nightmare for him: Ale's signature weapon. If you don't get many, he'll ban it and be banned forever.

The fourth move was a three-way draw by TES.

It's not that this hero is particularly strong, but the TES team generally has too short a range, especially in terms of mobility and wave clear ability. This hero is practically an open card.

EDG finished off their lineup with Tristana and Azir, while TES surprisingly added Fiora as their last pick.

Holy crap? What kind of lineup is this?!

Good grief, they've even picked Fiora, and they're just stubbornly sticking to top lane priority?

As everyone knows, playing against EDG's top laner doesn't require much thought, because all of EDG's players only have the bottom half of the Summoner's Rift map on their computer screens.

[It's all flashy and complicated; I don't even know how to play team fights.]

To be honest, in order to counter each other's lineups and signature moves, the draft picks in the first game were so unpredictable that no one could understand them.

Of course, they themselves couldn't understand it either.

EDG's lineup: Top laner Nocturne, Jungler Lillia, Mid laner Azir, Bot lane Tristana + Rakan

TES's lineup: Top lane Fiora, Jungle Olaf, Mid lane Viktor, Bot lane Xayah + Alistar

The competition has now begun.

Before entering the game, A-Le even had the rare moment to tease Roland. After all, he was a man who had just avenged himself by killing RNG, so his mindset was exceptionally good.

"Hey, Your Majesty, I heard you were cramming last night. Did you come up with anything good?"

Upon hearing Ah Le's question, Roland immediately became interested as well.

"If you're talking about this, then I'll have to give you guys a good talking-to. I won't go into too much detail last night, okay? A pen, a lamp, and a night made me feel like I was back in my childhood, just before summer vacation ended."

"Oh, I see, you must have pulled off a miracle?"

"No, it's me who has finally become a corpse. I'm tired, let's just give up. Today, I'll wait for you guys to finish me off."

"Oh, this..."

At level one, neither side attempted any jungle invasion tactics in the early game, mainly because neither team had much crowd control and their damage output was somewhat lacking, so it was a normal start.

This game's bot lane is going to be interesting.

Rakan is a very weak champion in the early laning phase, and coincidentally, the Alistar controlled by Roland is also a very weak champion in the early game. With two weak melee champions in the same game, the bot lane can only rely on the performance of the two AD carries.

Of course, given that Tristana has the passive effect of her E skill, judging from the predicted results, it is indeed quite difficult for her to reach level two in the bot lane. After thinking about it, Roland decided to make a tactical retreat first.

As soon as he moved, JKL noticed it immediately.

"Not going to rob us?"

"No need, I probably won't be able to win anyway, but it doesn't matter, I've already got something more important."

"what?"

"Xia, Luo, and the Minotaur, there are some things I don't need to say, because they might not pass censorship."

"???"

Contest: Chapter Thirty-Two: They've already been granted amnesty?

Let's talk about the laning phase in the bottom lane.

If yesterday RNG's Ming gave Roland the impression of an aggressive AD and a stable support, then with EDG, it was the complete opposite: an aggressive support and a stable AD.

Meiko is too aggressive.

Unlike other supports, Meiko is better at using the vision in bushes to launch surprise attacks. What's even more frustrating is that he is clearly more adept at using the Guardian rune.

As I said before, many people neglect the use of primary runes when playing ranked games. For example, the most common Electrocute, some people still only use it twice and then stop, not to mention those who use Predator when escaping. My advice is that if you are not good at it, you should play more top lane. If a top laner dares to use primary runes poorly, he will be locked up for life in one game.

"Are you even capable? You're always getting your health drained by others."

"What can I do if he runs away after he finishes carrying it? But it's okay, I have a green aura that restores my health. Trading blood for mana is a good deal."

Faced with Luo's frequent harassment, Roland dared not use his skills carelessly.

He's playing so aggressively, who knows if there's a jungler lurking behind him?

The lane keeps getting pushed, and Roland hasn't had time to do any vision work for the defense. He can only try to control his emotions.

If you use your Q skill to counter-control Rakan, the next second Tristana will dare to directly rush in and deal damage. With Xayah's early game damage and attack speed, her burst damage is like a split urination compared to the opponent's, and you will definitely lose the fight.

clam?

You mean there's another W move?

How do you know that the jungler didn't gank from the other side?

In professional matches, you should always hold back your trump cards if you have the chance. In ranked matches, you might as well use all your skills casually, since if you lose, it's only your teammates who suffer. But in professional matches, the team's fans, coaches, and analysts also suffer.

"It's so frustrating to be beaten like this, Ah Ban, quickly use your invincible Platinum Star to think of a solution."

Feeling frustrated in the laning phase, JKL passed the buck to his support. Based on his years of experience as an AD carry, he figured that once the game entered team fights, his survival wouldn't be much better if the enemy team had a Nocturne.

It's bad enough that he's frustrated during team fights, but if he continues to be so passive during the laning phase, wouldn't he become a complete idiot? No way, he has to find a way to turn the tide, at least he needs to have some fun during the laning phase first.

"Accept your fate. You think you can have lane priority with this opposing combination? Dream on."

"one hundred."

"I'm sorry, but the education I received growing up didn't support me doing this kind of thing. You've misjudged me."

"three hundred."

I'm not the kind of person you think I am.

"five hundred."

"Bro, you've got a good eye for people! I'll start causing trouble when he starts wandering around. Remember, bro, it's 500, Alipay or WeChat, even QQ Wallet is fine, I'm open to anything."

Ah Le, Ha Huang: ......

Good guy.

So they've already offered amnesty?

Feeling Roland's obsequious tone in the group, both Ah Le and Ha Huang felt a sense of unreality.

Before they could even catch their breath, something even more bewildering happened the next moment. In the team voice chat, Knight's voice came through, as if he had already been certain that this would happen: "Hey, get me a membership. Don't let the enemy support come up and annoy me."

"Okay, bro, no problem."

Ah Le, Ha Huang: ? ? ? ? ? ?

The pressure during the laning phase is really just so-so. No matter how badly the bot lane is being pressured, if my jungler hasn't even shown up on the map by the time he reaches level four, you should consider whether your stomach can hold three people.

The saying "life is unpredictable" perfectly describes this situation.

Push the lane, advance to the tower, and return to base to upgrade your equipment.

EDG's bot lane duo wasn't reckless; once they had controlled the lane enough, they pushed straight away, not giving Haro any chance. Of course, this was only because they hadn't yet found Haro's position. If they knew that Haro was currently lurking in the top lane waiting for Lillia to feed, he might just stay in lane until level six.

"Alright, he's gone. Hurry up and clean up, then I'll leave too."

"Aren't you coming back to the city with me?" JKL raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Supporting the mid lane like that would be too slow. Consider it a loss on my part; making money is the priority."

Back when he first entered the LPL, he shamelessly asked Meiko for some support skills and experience. During many duo queue games, he also noticed that Meiko had a habit of roaming to other lanes all the time.

Meiko also expressed her frustration with this.

Mentoring newcomers wouldn't be a problem in itself; he's mentored countless newcomers over the years in the LPL, and his reputation as an esports social butterfly isn't unfounded. But the problem is, Banhuang's comprehension is just too fast.

This feeling.

This reminds me of the legend from the headphone forum back in the day, where a few veterans half-jokingly recommended the Sennheiser HE1 to a newbie, and a few days later the newbie actually bought it and even posted a thank you message.

That's Roland for you.

I can still clearly remember teaching him how to play support more than a year ago. In the blink of an eye, he won the world championship before me, and he was even the FMVP for the support role. I'm so angry!

Rather than saying that the competition that day was the Second Prince's coup in the Forbidden City, it would be more accurate to say that the competition was his "master" trying to clean house and save face.

Lost in thought, Luo set off from home again, heading straight for the middle road.

Because Rakan has an E skill that allows him to dash for free, this hero doesn't need to go out of his way to gank. It's very convenient since he'll definitely be coming to the mid lane anyway. Killing is a huge win, forcing a Flash is not a loss, and the damage is also decent. Even if he runs through the minion wave for nothing, he won't lose much.

Then why don't you come?

Is there anything more enjoyable than getting something for free in this world?

nonexistent.

Sneaking into the village, it's not good to shoot.

With around three thousand days of professional experience, the two veteran mid and support players have developed an extremely good synergy. The junior's acting skills are something that ordinary, inexperienced mid laners can't see through. On the surface, he looks exactly the same as before, but in reality, a Sand Soldier who was about to use POKE and whose time was about to expire is now standing not far from Viktor.

The opportunity is here.

Taking a taxi (Rakan's E skill) + getting in the car (Azir's EQ dash) + jumping out of the car (Rakan's grand entrance)

The entire action was executed flawlessly, giving Knight a scare with a knife while also earning unanimous praise from the audience with 1500 points.

However... since the prerequisite for this combo is that the hero must be a female hero, EDG's reckless use of this sure-fire combo in order to meet the requirement will only lead to unnecessary mistakes.
