You actually want me to...

You lost, didn't you? Your full-strength lineup couldn't even beat a lineup with rookies. You deserve to be attacked.

It's going to be impacted no matter what.

After thinking about it, Roland felt that he should take it a little more seriously; it might as well win.

To completely break this deadlock, it seems there's no other way besides posting on a forum for amateur scientists. We can only hope that these amateur scientists can really solve Roland's doubts in no time, just like the legends say.

clam?

You're asking why I'm asking amateur scientists, right?

The amateur science forum supposedly has solved the perpetual motion problem. If you don't go and pay homage to this amazing forum, you're doing yourself a disservice for all the boasting you've done online over the years.

"Got it. Let's play seriously and see if we can bring out the brotherhood between Tian and BO."

"They're all blown up like this, what kind of brotherhood is that? Are you kidding me?"

"That's because you don't understand. Even if someone is just a superficial brother, he's still called a brother."

"???"

What does "fake brothers" mean?

When you're out in the game, loyalty is key; true brothers are in your heart.

I rely on five things to get by: betraying my brothers, being a traitor, framing others, and taking care of my sister-in-law.

We've sworn brotherhood and made vows, so we'll split the bill after this meal; when my brother is here, I call him sister-in-law, and when he's not here, I call him treasure.

This is what's called superficial brotherhood.

Parisians, gather!

The Protectorate has arrived!!!

【Tongxi, Tongxi, my beloved wife.】

[The Rain Moon family is the best, they're really getting fired up!]

As FPX has been the subject of much discussion recently, this match has attracted a large number of fans. Of course, how many of them are just looking for fun is another matter. At least among a portion of TES fans, or more specifically, among Banhuang's fans, almost 90% are these opportunistic people who will rush in without hesitation when something is fun.

Speaking of which, Roland can be considered a new quality inspector for the support role.

Zhuo from SN in the last round and Shenyi from FPX in this round are both newcomers that their teams have just brought in. They're probably just getting them out there to train and develop. Zhuo was definitely out of the running last round, so let's see how Shenyi performs this round.

Of course, Shenyi's career as an assistant coach is also quite tragic.

He seamlessly transitioned into the LPL, a fantastic start, but unfortunately, he chose to join TSM in the LCS for money, only to be demoted to the second team due to the team's losing streak. The worst part was that the root cause of the losing streak was the team's AD carry's poor performance, but since that player was quite popular in the LCK, he became a scapegoat, collateral damage.

It's worth mentioning that, for the sake of fairness, Tongxi and Ji De were chosen as the commentators for this round of the competition, instead of Da Xiao, in order to prevent Da Xiao from manipulating the competition with the causal weapon.

"The audience seems quite enthusiastic today, but unfortunately, they don't seem to be on our side."

Before going on stage, Roland looked around at the audience. It was obvious that FPX had significantly more support items than TES. Although he knew that this was due to the recent controversy that had led to the other side receiving more attention, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Dude, you managed to defend the trophy on home soil in S10 and didn't let MSI slip away either, so why is the gap in fan base so small?

Could it be...

Is it because he's being unresponsive on Weibo that his fans feel there's no interaction?

Got it. After the match, he'll stir things up on Weibo. We absolutely can't let these haters be idle in the supertopic.

"That's right, or you could create a news story about a gambling incident, and I guarantee you'd get even more attention than him."

"Yes, I do. I participate in nearly 100,000 bets every day and win every hand. But the daily limit is only 14500 beans, which isn't enough to keep me playing. Otherwise, I feel like I could keep going."

"..."

Soon, after both computers were debugged, the game officially began.

In the first game, FPX played on the blue side.

First round of bans:

FPX: Sylas, Akali, Gragas

TES: Scissors Girl, Blade of the Ruined King, Lee Sin

There's not much to say. Apart from the two haters, Scissors Girl and Akali, TES gave all the other ban slots to the jungle position. If it weren't for the fact that you can only ban three at a time, they would have even wanted to ban Nocturne and Volibear as well.

From a moral standpoint, giving Tian some room to perform and suppressing BO to the point of not being able to play is definitely the best option; but from the opponent's perspective, if I don't take advantage of your weakness, what kind of virtuous person am I?

Since we've chosen to fight, we'll definitely target your weakest point and beat you to a pulp.

One round of PICK:

FPX: Nightmare (first pick), Renekton, Varus

TES: Xin Zhao, LeBlanc (first and second picks), Ezreal

Although the patch notes clearly indicate that Nightmare has been nerfed, the update on the tournament server is slightly later than the live server. At this point, Nightmare's passive is still the unnerfed version, and he can stay active in both the jungle and lane.

Still strong, but dependent on the system.

Second round of bans: Titan, Rakan, Sett, and Jayce were all banned.

The fourth move was TES pulling a kidney out of their pants.

This move by TES completely stunned FPX. With TES on the team, FPX's proud bot lane gank was significantly weakened. Moreover, TES's W sword formation effectively countered FPX's front line's entry. After all, it's still unclear whether TES is going for top lane or support. In other words, TES's move forced FPX to grit their teeth and continue trying out aggressive champions.

I thought about it for a moment.

FPX made a last-minute tactical change, ultimately picking Leona and Lillia as their final two picks.

At this point:

A highly aggressive lineup consisting of top lane Renekton, jungle Lillia, mid lane Nocturne, and bot lane Varus + Leona.

"What do you mean by this one?"

"I'll take the control role. I feel like the team lacks control abilities, and I'll also add some damage for you guys."

"Got it, Crow," Big Yellow said with an "Oh," teasingly adding that he had expected this.

"No, it's a scarecrow."

Against a team with such an aggressive, all-in lineup, some control and counter-control are necessary. Either Veigar or Fiddlesticks are good options. However, Veigar is a bit weak in the early laning phase and can easily give Leona an opportunity. On the contrary, Fiddlesticks is a different story.

It has silence, healing, and fear, making laning easier while its passive is also incredibly fun.

As for the damage?

This hero, if played as support, has no gold and no damage output. Unless he can rack up kills, he's just a nuisance.

Back in Season 10, things were fine. Back then, the economy wasn't explosive before Mythic items were available, and supports could still deal damage. However, with the introduction of Mythic items in Season 11, the Mythic stats became too overpowered, so items for engage mages and supports like Fiddlesticks changed accordingly.

In short, just go for the bare golden body and that's it; the rest depends on the situation.

The moment the scarecrow appeared, the entire arena fell into a brief silence, followed by deafening cheers.

Holy crap? Holy crap? Holy crap?

I can't even remember the last time I watched Banhuang's Scarecrow. My youth is over.

What did FPX do to deserve this? They've forced this guy to pull off his scarecrow act!

[My heart aches for Shenyi. Her debut was like entering hell; it's so tragic.]

Even though the version has changed, Roland's various underhanded tactics are still deeply etched in players' minds. To be honest, this thing is not strong in the support role, and is even quite average. However, depending on the player's personal ability and understanding of the map, it can reach a very high ceiling, which is quite magical.

At this point, TES's lineup is: Top laner Yaozi, Jungler Xin Zhao, Mid laner LeBlanc, Bot laner Ezreal + Fiddlesticks.

While its offensive capabilities aren't as strong as FPX's lineup, its counter-attack ability is off the charts. If Fiddlesticks finds a good position to jump, the opponent can't even reach the backline.

The competition has now begun.

P.S.: Please understand that the Busan venue is so quiet because we don't want to disturb the mold farm next door.

Let me explain: One year ago today, around the same time in the book, 2000 moldy plants wreaked havoc in Busan, taking nothing but a single thread (meaning they took everything except a single thread). Subsequently, the local authorities deployed six police cars and a large number of officers to escort them, doing the nanny's job to the extreme. This shows that in their eyes, moldy plants are a "vulnerable group." They were afraid that clapping too loudly would disturb the moldy plants, and they wanted to show respect, so they kept quiet. Please be aware of this.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Ranking Up – The Biggest Fear is Blindly Believing in "One-Click" Techniques

At the start of the game, FPX immediately began to give their new support player a pep talk.

"Listen, Shenyi, unless absolutely necessary, never initiate on the enemy support. You must remember that." Da Congming instructed him earnestly while positioning his character in the river.

"Is it really that scary? This is already a mythological version."

"Listen, you've only ever seen it from God's perspective before, so you don't think it's anything special. But when you get into it, you'll understand just how disgusting this idiot stuff is to play. Remember, never get carried away!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Having personally experienced how disgusting Fiddlesticks is, Da Congming decisively chose Long Sword and three Health Potions at the start of this game, instead of the traditional Doran's Blade build, in order to withstand more rounds of Fiddlesticks' poke.

For the hero Fiddlesticks, there are only two ways to build his talents in the Mythic version.

When playing against a support, take Comet and max E. With an 850 range, Fiddlesticks usually has the only chance to harass the opponent. It also has low mana cost and a slow effect. Comet is reliable, and if you max E and hit the opponent 3 times, they will basically be suppressed.

As for tank supports, in competitive matches, they should stick to maxing W with Aftershock, otherwise they won't be able to withstand the damage.

The Stopwatch talent is a must-have. An extra one can be used to level up creeps with Dematerializer or to reduce cooldowns. Roland chose the latter in this game.

Since neither side had a strong lineup at level one, neither side was thinking of invading at level one. However, Knight relied on his W skill and stepped on the wall to place a ward at the F6 position, intending to help the jungler scout the enemy Lillia's jungle clearing movements.

This is a basic move for mid laners playing LeBlanc. Many low-elo mid laners don't think of this move. They just place a ward in the bush at the three-minute mark, without considering that LeBlanc is not a champion that is afraid of being ganked. Instead of placing the ward for themselves, they should use it to create an advantage for the jungler. The difference is actually reflected in these little details.

"Keep an eye on the enemy jungler's position. Once they appear in the lower jungle, the bot lane will immediately come to support you."

Even before the minion wave arrives, Roland can already declare lane control in advance. In the early game, when everyone's damage and health are relatively low, the 850-yard range of his E skill is practically invincible.

In a flash, a huge slap lands, lowering the ranged minion's health while also silencing it. How disgusting is that?

On one side, Roland used his long range to bully the enemy melee support; on the other side, JKL kept clearing minions while slowly building up his passive stacks, only occasionally auto-attacking Leona, greedily trying to stack Conqueror as well.

With this kind of momentum, TES's bot lane duo is practically offering FPX a template.
