You actually want me to...

Have you ever seen light?

"what?"

"I woke up in the middle of the night because I needed to pee. With one eye half open, I groggily walked to the bathroom. When I turned on the light, it was like Ultraman Tiga transforming in the bathroom. Everything in front of me was bright. How can a hotel bathroom be so bright?!"

"..."

Seeing that his voice was still full of emotion, everyone simply stopped paying attention to him. Judging from his posture, he was probably just too lazy to bother with him, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.

Of course, I suspect that HLE is also a competitor.

Even if Roland and White Crescent emphasize it, the problem is that HLE really only has one rhythm point. Now it depends on whether other LCK teams will secretly give HLE a boost by handing over their research data on TES to HLE so that they can use it to make more of a difference against TES.

If so, today's match might be a bit close.

If not... then it can only be said that LCK has indeed started to tank, but considering that Koreans have always tanked like this, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

What's your opinion on Korea?

The darker his films depict, the more outrageous their reality becomes. What's most terrifying is that even the money to make those kinds of films comes from tycoons, all to evoke their empathy and then have them continue to contribute movie tickets to the tycoons to make money.

But if you ask what they changed... well, that brings us to the Western "five-tier tactics".

Phase 1: We declared that nothing had happened.

Phase Two: We say something might happen, but we shouldn't take any action.

Phase Three: Perhaps we should take action, but there's nothing we can do.

Phase Four: Perhaps we could have done something back then, but it's too late now.

Phase 5: Opening up, trusting in the wisdom of future generations.

Yes, that's exactly what South Korea is like now, and it's slowly evolved into the country with the biggest natural enemy of centipedes in all of Asia.

The match began quickly.

First round of bans:

TES: Sylas, LeBlanc, Tryndamere

HLE: Cards, Lee Sin, Yuumi

Logically speaking, Tryndamere shouldn't be considered in the draft phase since some teams have already figured out how to counter Gragas mid. However, Knight's Gragas ultimate was a bit overkill, and his damage control was a little off. Since there's no confidence in his performance, it's best to simply reject the possibility altogether.

There's not much to say about the red side. At this stage, any LCK team facing the JKL + Roland bot lane combination has to consider whether their own bot lane can withstand the opponent's offensive.

One round of PICK:

TES: Graves (first-shot), Aphelios, Jarvan IV

HLE: Miss Fortune, Xin Zhao (first and second tier), Irelia

"Alright, they're out of options."

Taking the prince on the third floor is essentially a gamble with the opponent, to see if they will use Poppy.

With this kind of draft, if the opposing top laner Morgan can pick Poppy, TES can be said to have completely ruined their jungler, and it will also have a great impact on TES's subsequent mid lane picks. At least those with mobility will be in a difficult position, and unfortunately, most of the strong mid laners in the current version have some kind of mobility.

But for Irelia... all I can say is that HLE's trust in Morgan is so outrageous that one might suspect he's taken the fall for the coaching staff.

Second round of bans:

Rakan, Leona, Thresh, and Gragas were all sent away.

You bet that Morgan can't play Poppy, and I can bet that Roland can't play Lulu. Hey, I'll let you have this champion. Do you dare to pick it in the bot lane?

I really don't dare.

Based on White Crescent's understanding of Roland's Lulu gameplay over the past few days, he was genuinely afraid that this guy might flash in and give the enemy a low-budget version of Malphite's ultimate. The main reason was... when White Crescent watched this guy practice in ranked games, his own jungler happened to be Shaco, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, this guy actually used his ultimate on Shaco's clone during a team fight.

Although the team was ultimately wiped out because of this ultimate move, the opposing team mistook the "fake" for the real one and focused their attacks on it, but such mistakes, whether intentional or not, are really hard to handle when they happen on the field.

The fourth move, HLE pulls out Zoe.

Honestly, the moment Roland saw Zoe, his mouse cursor automatically and instinctively moved to Aatrox.

"Wait... what do you want to do?"

"Coach, this is really useful against Zoe. Just say it when you meet her: 'Papaya Celestial, I think you can kill me!!!' and you'll instantly exude confidence, right?"

"I think beating you up first might be more effective in getting your head back on track. Stop messing around, what are you going to give me?"

"Then...this one will do."

After thinking about it, Thresh and Gragas, who synergize well with Aphelios, are no longer viable options. Lulu is unplayable, Riven is clumsy and Nautilus is weak in lane, and Braum is a pure defensive weakling who doesn't fit his style. Considering the enemy might pick Nautilus or Riven to fill the gap in initiation, so...

In their last two picks, TES secured Poppy and Orianna.

Although it was frustrating and I really didn't want to give Knight Orianna, because when he picks this kind of farming mid laner, he easily loses contact with the mid and jungle, causing TES's early and mid-game rhythm to rely solely on the jungler.

But the good thing about this thing is that it's so comfortable to wind up.

As the replacement of the top middle school for the national first middle school, White Crescent and Roland's expectation for him is to suppress the lane and keep the enemy in check. As long as the two mid laners restrain each other and become each other's earthbound spirits, the other four players can easily crush the other side.

Tian Ji's Horse Racing

Our side has Cherry Blossom King, Imperial Glory, Grasshopper, Golden Ship, and Divine Eagle.

The other side only has one good opera singer and four slackers. Tell me how they can lose this group?

After much deliberation, HLE finally decided to let their support pick Braum. Since they weren't sure they could dive in, they figured they might as well prevent the enemy from having an easy time.

This is the end.

TES: Top - Graves, Jungle - Jarvan IV, Mid - Orianna, Bot - Aphelios + Poppy

HLE: Top lane Irelia, Jungle Xin Zhao, Mid lane Zoe, Bot lane Miss Fortune + Braum.

Game start.

Settled: Chapter Twenty-Nine: What kind of scoundrel dares to bully my godfather?

"Bobby?"

"Yeah, there's something to say about Aban's Poppy. I almost forgot that TES even has him who can build this thing."

The colonel quickly slapped his thigh, realizing he had forgotten about this. Of course, he slapped his own thigh because if he had slapped someone else's, he would be branded as the "King of Leg Touching," which would ruin his reputation.

Holy crap, I completely forgot he could do that too.

Other heroes are forgotten because they're rarely used, but this one is the only one forgotten because there are too many viable hero options.

[But this bot lane won't get lane priority, right?]

[You're already playing Aphelios and you still want lane priority? Just focus on farming and developing, handsome.]

As a late-game AD carry, Aphelios' weakness is that he has nothing in the early game. He has no burst damage, no wave clear, and no mobility. He's essentially a ranged minion that can tank a little. In a level 1 auto-attack, he can hardly beat most opponents.

As compensation, his first weapon, the Jade, has an attack range of 650 yards, which should at least allow him to farm minions safely in the early game.

"So why can't you pick a support that can help me win the lane?"

Watching the enemy Miss Fortune aggressively pressing forward with her passive, JKL felt incredibly frustrated.

"I do think so, but the problem is that the ones who can compete with Miss Fortune for lane priority are all mage supports. Mage supports have to steal some minions or roam and gank, but you're playing Aphelios. If you were Ezreal, I would have locked in something else already."

"No, why can a support player talk about stealing minions and abandoning the AD carry so confidently?"

"Ban Nami, Yuumi, and Lulu, and you'll see which team's support doesn't play like that. That's the meta."

to be honest.

The mainstream version of Season 11 was all about aggressive tempo. The reason it became so overpowered later on was because Luna and Yuumi's strength far exceeded the designers' expectations. When a bot lane could dominate the opponent's bot lane early on with their synergy advantage, the so-called roaming version became a joke.

As for Aphelios, he's not actually that invincible.

Aphelios' dominance begins with four items. With three items, he can only offer a chance to turn the tide in a normal game, meaning he can deal damage but doesn't have the dominance. In other words, if the game can be ended before Aphelios has four items, then Aphelios is not an invincible point. The reason why the original World Death Knight's Aphelios was so feared was simply because the LPL teams that went to the World Championship at that time all played a slow-paced style.

If you were to send TES to the World Championship back then, and they couldn't create a 3,000 gold lead within 15 minutes, that would be considered a disadvantage.

Since the opposing support was Braum, HLE naturally chose to invade the enemy jungle at level one. Faced with such a strong support, TES could only choose to "give way". As a result, HLE's jungle route changed to start from the upper jungle and then decide whether to invade or farm down depending on the situation. But no matter which one he chose, HLE had already achieved his goal.

That means taking control of the ganking initiative in the top lane.

Once Irelia gets farmed up, there are few TES players who can stop her from entering the fight in the mid-to-late game. Perhaps Poppy's W is one, but even if she can stop it, it's not easy to kill her.

Therefore, the best solution is to gank a few more times in the early game before the opponent has developed, and crush them with ganks.

That's what Prince Harper was thinking, but his first step was completely thwarted by Braum. As a jungler who is already relatively passive, Prince Harper naturally wouldn't do anything to lose experience and help the top laner.

Then we can only watch Big Yellow's.

"How's Big Yellow? Can it handle the road?"

"No problem, or rather, I've never felt as good as I do today."

Really.

Let's see who DaHuang usually laned against during his time in the LPL.

It's Niu Guli, it's Teacher Shy, it's Top Tiger who can bring a bunch of people up at any time.

In other words, the top laner you usually face is either Lu Bu or Zhao Yun, or at the very least, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all at once. Even if you can't beat them, at least you've seen and experienced it, right? Now, suddenly Morgan appears. It's like the other side suddenly sending Xing Daorong up, laughing and taunting Wei Yan: "Say my name and I'll scare you." How can the top lane not be easy?

"Alright, you hold your ground against the enemy for now, I'll go look for opportunities on other lanes."

"No need to come, my body odor top laner is amazing."

The top lane is easy, the mid lane is even, and the bottom lane is being pushed but not losing CS, so it all depends on the performance of both junglers.

At this moment, Harper felt as if he had to choose between four things: a Transformer, a Gundam, a Spark Lens, and an excavator, from left to right. After a brief moment of hesitation, he decisively chose the path with the electrified machinery.

"Mid lane, I'm coming."

"She's not easy to catch; Zoe's positioning is something else."

As a lower-tier alternative to Knight, Chovy's laning skills are naturally not bad. It should be noted that Chovy is famous for his ability to achieve mid-lane last-hitting beyond the expected timeline, which is based on his strong laning ability.

What a coincidence! They're all mid-laners who came from the same mold.

Chovy's biggest disadvantage compared to Knight is that he doesn't have as much experience in major tournaments as Knight. Although Knight said he was hard to catch, his positioning still inevitably revealed a slight flaw in this play.

There was a slight opening that suggested their own jungler might be coming.

But in Chovy's eyes, this action was different; his state of mind at that moment was like this.
