You actually want me to...

"It's fine to look at the young lady, but I'm afraid that if you look at her, you might wander into a side alley you shouldn't be in."

"You don't know anything. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Where there is emptiness, there is form, and where there is form, there is emptiness. This is the true reality for men."

"That's great, what else can I say? I can only say: I love you walking alone in the dark alley, I love your unassuming appearance~"

After that, the room instantly erupted in a sea of ​​joy.

This is how men communicate: politics, women, and games. Nothing can bring men together faster than these three things.

"Hehehe, since everyone's finally back, let's make a bet. Whoever gives up first blood first in the RANK will treat everyone to afternoon tea, how about it?" As he spoke, Roland glanced at Big Yellow out of the corner of his eye, receiving a grateful look in return.

"I second that proposal!"

"Since you've said that, from now on, I'll be immortal and godlike. Just you wait and see."

"Alright brothers, let's get this season going... Let's go!"

Precipitation: Chapter 5: Placing an order isn't out of the question.

a few days later.

When TES's match finally arrived, their first opponent was, without exception, their old neighbor JDG.

Everyone's already numb.

Just like pigs and dogs always meet in the playoffs, the ill-fated relationship between TES and JDG is nothing new. It's probably because the two teams were positioned too close to each other at the beginning, which is why they always meet at the start of the season.

clam?

You asked what the relationship is like?

It's alright. After all, JDG is so close, yet they've never ordered takeout for TES. Apart from JackeyLove's occasional weight gain, which seems to suggest he's sneaked into the JDG cafeteria, the physiques of the other players don't indicate any particularly good relationship between the two teams.

As one of the teams with the highest current viewership, today's match attracted a considerable number of passersby to stop and watch.

It is worth mentioning that.

At this point, LPL is having some kind of "Chinese Style Day" event, but the Chinese style outfits worn by several LPL commentators are... well, you know what I mean, it's quite ridiculous.

For the sake of the show's entertainment value, the organizers even invited AJ, a handsome man in ancient Chinese style, to pair with Remember and Rita, causing the live chat to explode!

[Wow, what a bombshell opening!]

[A special episode featuring Pan Jinlian, Ximen Qing, and Wu Dalang?]

This Chinese style is so outrageous, I feel like I'm living in Bengbu (a famous Chinese city in China).

[Fun fact: The LPL's Chinese style theme started after TES's detailed Qin Dynasty vlog. For this alone, I would call Banhuang a pioneer!]

The bizarre outfits of several commentators completely overshadowed the TES team, which was originally intended to be criticized.

of course.

That's why they haven't seen the previous TES.

You have to understand that at this point in the past, TES spent a whopping 1000 million to buy Qingtian as their top laner. As for his performance... well, there's still a considerable amount of room for improvement.

"How are you feeling, Da Huang? Are you nervous?" Roland teased in the team voice chat, watching his new teammate at the far end of the seat constantly checking the equipment connection.

"It's alright, probably because it's an online competition, there's no audience so I don't feel much of a difference. But I'm going to face the Duke later."

"That's right. Have you ever watched anime? Before the main characters become stronger, they are all relentlessly taught a lesson by various powerful opponents. After they overcome these challenges, they go out into the world and find that they are already strong. That's the protagonist's path to advancement."

"But... isn't this sparring partner a bit too high-level?"

JDG's top laner is Duke.

What does Duke mean? Although he didn't do anything in the original world's S12 and was sent out inexplicably, and even had his starting position taken away by Wei Yan, if you insist on talking about strength, Duke could even be said to be the number one domestic top laner in the LPL for a short period of time, and there is no controversy about it.

His only problem is that he doesn't know how to play Gwen.

JDG's lineup for the S11 Summer Split remains the same: Duke in the top lane, Kanavi in ​​the jungle, Yagao in the mid lane, and Loken and Lvmao in the bottom lane. It's the "Ironclad Brothers" lineup, and while this combination doesn't have a high ceiling, it's definitely a strong lineup capable of easily crushing weaker opponents.

Soon, a round of bans:

JDG: Akali, Thresh, Lee Sin

TES: Twisted Fate, Lucian, Nightmare

There's not much to say. It's basically all aimed at JDG's meager resources. After eliminating the Twisted Fate and Nightmare compositions, JDG's mid laner, Yagao, is basically limited to choosing between Orianna and Zoe. Occasionally, when pushed to the limit, he might pick LeBlanc, and as a last resort, he'll pull out Galio.

That's the limit for toothpaste.

A mid laner who could be dominated by the veteran Doinb in the mid lane and said that laning was very easy... his career can almost be considered over.

One round of PICK:

JDG: Renekton, Nidalee, Jhin

TES: Varus, Udyr, Knuckles

Here's why Varus and Renekton are still top picks among professional players despite being nerfed. First, the previous patch notes show that the jungle pace has been sped up, and the designers wanted to see a situation where junglers could make a lot of plays in the early game, which means more small-scale team fights in the early game.

Furthermore, with the buff to warrior mythic items and the nerf to tank items, the game is showing less and less potential for late-game play. After all, this update is designed to encourage early-game fighting. If you choose a late-game composition, you're bound to be unable to withstand the opponent's offensive in the early game, and you might even die in the first 20 minutes.

What can we do?

Just go with the meta and pick early-to-mid-game heroes to overwhelm him!

Because of the pursuit of early and mid-game fighting ability, heroes like Renekton and Varus, who can balance lane control and early and mid-game fighting ability, will remain in high demand in competitive play as long as they are not nerfed out of the game.

Second round of bans: Gragas, Swain, Aatrox, and Rumble were all banned.

In their fourth pick, TES chose LeBlanc.

It's not that TES didn't want to pick Zoe instead of banning her, but this champion is really like a hook-type champion, very dependent on form and feel. If you pick her when you're not in form or feeling, the whole game will become like a 4v6, which is extremely painful.

In their last two picks, JDG added Leona and Zoe.

At this point:

JDG: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Nidalee, Mid lane Zoe, Bot lane Jhin + Leona

Upon seeing the opposing team's lineup, Roland immediately focused his attention on White Crescent.

"coach..."

"Stop messing around. We can pull off some stunts in the regular season, but this is the first game."

"But coach, we haven't had a break at all, and we've been cooped up for so many days."

"Uh... okay, but no clowns!!!"

Knowing that the Clown has been buffed, White Crescent is afraid that this guy might suddenly pull out a Clown support. Although it's not that it's unplayable, it's a bit too entertaining and gives people the feeling of looking down on the opponent.

Since S8, the number of people obsessed with something online has been increasing day by day, and White Crescent's worries are not unfounded.

"Thank you, Coach!"

In his final move, Roland directly selected a support champion that even JKL couldn't understand, and then... locked on instantly!

【I am Volibear, the Thunder Gaba!】

Assist bear, lock successful!

"Dog...Volbear support?"

"This is only the first game of the Summer Split, and Aban is already playing this flashy right from the start?"

Putting aside the barrage of "666" and "enjoy it!", this single Volibear support has already stolen the spotlight from TES's new top laner Wayward. It's like someone suddenly shouting behind you on the street, "All eyes are on me!"—it's incredibly captivating.

Are you sure this thing will work?

JKL asked a question with some doubt, but was met with Roland's affirmative gaze in return.

"Trust me, my Volibear top lane is amazing!"

"But you're in the bot lane, for crying out loud!"

"Placing an order is not out of the question."

"?"

Sedimentation: Chapter Six: Can you please stop rolling around?!

Upon entering the game, both teams chose to observe from across the river, wary of the opponent's level 1 team fight ability.

Roland had learned his lesson. He used to think that a lineup like JDG would be terrible at level 1 team fights, until one day he was playing ranked and got a six-kill by a Zoe at level 1, and he was completely stunned.

Oh, actually, it wasn't just him who was numb at the time, but also their mid-lane Twisted Fate.

[How to lane against Zoe (whose chapter is missing) at level one] 丶jpg

Of course, Green Hair was also in a lot of trouble in this game. He was all ready for Green Hair to pick a mage support, but Green Hair picked Thunder Gauntlet instead.

Which League of Legends app has this thing in the support menu?

Can you please stop using support bots when you're playing top lane?!

That green-haired guy is absolutely awful.

Is the Japanese female support strong? Yes, she's the top tank support.

Is Leona + Jhin strong? Yes, they are. In general, Leona can stun the enemy and then use Jhin's W to control them and kill them in one combo.

But what about facing a bear? A human's level 2 kill threshold is 900, and it can one-shot you with a super move. Are you scared yet?

Once online, Roland started farming minions to stack his passive ability without even learning any skills.

Don't ask, the answer is to put pressure on me.

Because Volibear's passive fully stacked Lightning can easily break the opponent's Bone Plating, Green Hair didn't bring the Bone Plating talent in this game. Perhaps for this reason, JDG's bot lane duo didn't dare to farm the lane at level one.

Why?

Because they were afraid that the bear would accidentally kill the person while attacking.

As a top laner with insane stats, Volibear is one of the few champions who can rival Sett in terms of who has the most outrageous stats. If you were to face these two in lane, it would only come down to which side has more precise mechanics; their stats are basically evenly matched.

But... the bear has a very outrageous bug.

QW does not trigger minion aggro!

Yes, as a level 2 QWA combo that can trigger Press the Attack and Ignite to almost instantly kill a squishy target, how come your QW combo doesn't trigger minion aggro?
