You actually want me to...

TES was confident of winning against HLE. Similarly, White Crescent noticed that this might be a good opportunity to try to break the Luna system, so he instructed his team to first pick Graves, intending to let the opponent pick Luna. However, HLE did not fall for it at all and completely ignored the combination.

This really annoyed the white crescent moon.

It's impossible for HLE not to have this combination. As for why they didn't pick it, they probably felt their chances of advancing were slim, so they decided to team up with other teams in their region to annoy TES. You want me to use this for practice? No way.

Not only will I not give it to you, I will also take it out and give it to you.

The red team was already at a disadvantage in S11. The top laner Camille, the jungler Lee Sin, the mid laner LeBlanc and Twisted Fate, and the bot lane Luna, Miss Fortune, Yuumi, and Lulu were all heroes that needed to be considered for the ban list.

I'm banning strong champions and leaving Luna out. So, are you going to pick her or not?

Not picking it could easily lead to a loss, but picking it means the whole world will see just how good your Luna bot lane combo really is, making it easier for other teams to draft against TES later.

A completely open conspiracy.

When TES was riding high after winning the first game, White Crescent had already predicted that HLE would use a cooling-down strategy against their team in the second game. This kind of blatant disgusting behavior is no different from having someone stand next to you when choosing a major and try to persuade you to apply for civil engineering, saying with a smile, "Civil engineering is great, you need to score 10+ points higher than other majors to pass the civil service exam."

Are you angry or not?

Roland, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much. He had long anticipated this day. In preparation for it, he had created a method for quickly mastering hero skills and had made considerable progress in a short period of time. He calmly said, "Let them see if they want to. After all, we have amazing skills hidden in our pockets, while they might have plane tickets hidden in their pockets."

Until the very last moment, no one can be sure whether they are a player outside the chessboard or a piece inside it.

The outcome is still uncertain.

P.S.: There's been a lot going on lately. While witnessing history, there seem to be signs of a resurgence of the epidemic in some areas. Please wear masks and take as many safety precautions as possible.

PS2: I'm requesting one update today and taking a day off to rest and think about the plot of my next book, which is almost finished.

PS3: The group shooting kill contest is in full swing! The top three players with the most kills before 24:00 on the 10th (in match or ranked) will receive a Crazy Thursday gift pack next Thursday. We hope all lazy guys will participate enthusiastically.

Settled: Chapter Thirty-Six: You lot, how could you be so vicious?

Soon, when both teams returned to their respective benches for the second game, their teammates knew that whether the match would end in a best-of-four or best-of-three series depended on this one game.

First round of bans:

HLE: Graves, Jayce, Jarvan IV

TES: Lee Sin, Yuumi, Twisted Fate

As expected, HLE let Luna through, and TES had no choice but to step into this trap, using almost all three ban slots for version bans.

then

One round of PICK:

HLE: LeBlanc (first pick), Varus + Lulu

TES: Luna (first and second tier), Crystal Maiden

Second round of bans: Volibear, Poppy, Camille, and Kennen were all banned.

The two sides have different focuses. After giving the mid laner LeBlanc, the top-ranked champion in the current patch, HLE's coach wanted to expand the influence of the mid and jungle. This meant paving the way for Willer in the jungle. Since it was foreseeable that without Graves and Jayce, Kennen would definitely be banned, HLE's lineup, which only had a dive top laner, had to eliminate the option of playing Poppy in the jungle, even though he wasn't sure if Willer could actually play that champion.

With the Prince and Lissandra controlled from a fixed position, Poppy's ability to prevent displacement and engage was completely neutralized, clearing away all obstacles to HLE's advance. TES, on the other hand, had the opposite idea. With Luna as the strongest early-game force in the bot lane, the top lane would be a game for DaHuang to play. Therefore, Morgan's only viable champion, Camille, had to be banned, and Kennen, who had almost no natural counters in lane, also had to be eliminated.

At first glance, the red team's bans are filled with helplessness.

The meta doesn't favor junglers or top laners. If HLE hadn't intentionally fed Luna to test the waters, the red side's picks would have put them at a disadvantage in all three lanes from the start. It all depended on the team's strategy and the players' performance to see if they could turn things around.

For their fourth pick, TES still chose Gwen.

This version of top lane is limited to a few champions: Graves, Jayce, Gwen, Kennen, Camille, and Renekton. Adding even one more would be considered a mutation. The fact that RNG can send Syndra to the top lane to counter Jayce is due to Xiaohu's individual skill, and other teams can't replicate that.

The only saving grace is that almost all of these top laners can do it.

"Gwen and Lissandra, the rhythm depends entirely on your bot lane. As for Xin Zhao and Blade of the Ruined King, the enemy will probably pick Xin Zhao. That thing is too restrictive for AD carries, and they won't give us a chance to get the double-ring combo." White Crescent said, gesturing with his notes as he patted Roland on the shoulder earnestly.

"No, you have to look at the AD carry. Why are you filming me? I'm just a support."

"Don't give me that. Compared to you, JKL is actually quite steady."

"???"

Seemingly feeling that this wasn't quite enough, and that the lure of prize money alone might not be enough in the face of a major competition, White Crescent gathered her thoughts, slowly leaned close to Roland's ear, and whispered, "Listen, if you mess up this match, I'll get the official Weibo account to trick fans into giving Three Kingdoms Kill positive reviews. Think about it carefully."

Roland: !!!

"How could you be so vicious?"

This is fucking ridiculous.

Roland originally thought that deducting money and imposing fines were the limits of capitalism, but now they're even resorting to psychological attacks?

Giving Gouka a good review? Is that something a human would even think of doing?

HLE's last two picks were, unsurprisingly, Renekton and Xin Zhao.

The lineup consisted of top lane Renekton, jungle Xin Zhao, mid lane LeBlanc, and bot lane Varus + Lulu. The team focused on the top, mid, and jungle, and was very strong in the top half of the map in the early game. Because they were going to counter Luna, Vsta didn't dare to pick any initiating support champions and only dared to pick Lulu as a precaution to prevent the lane from being pushed back.

Then TES's last move is simple.

"I care not about the cost. All acts of violence are justified by their merit. For her sake, I must do this."

The King of Ruin—Foyego, locked on!

TES: Top lane Gwent, Jungle Blade of the Ruined King, Mid lane Lissandra, Bot lane Luna

This is arguably the most frequently used bottom-lane lineup by TES in the past six months. Although Gwent and Blade of the Ruined King are currently both Tier 2, some heroes depend not only on the meta but also on the player.

Games start.

As soon as the game started, Roland called his teammates to run to the top lane. The group moved towards the top lane with great coordination, which was reminiscent of the time in Season 3-5 when playing against bots and everyone would go to the "old spot" to camp and fish for bots at the start of the game.

"Huh? Is TES going to try and capture Morgan?"

"It's a bit of a gamble; let's see what Morgan says."

On stage, the commentators frowned as they watched this scene, and then all turned their attention to HLE's crocodile.

Given the obvious strength of HLE's top, mid, and jungle, from TES's perspective, if they can kill Morgan at level one, then as long as the kill doesn't go to the jungler, TES will have gained a huge advantage no matter which lane it goes to. Even if they don't kill him but just get a summoner spell, they can still say that this invasion is worthwhile.

It seems they never expected TES to pull this stunt.

On one side, HLE's support was quietly probing TES's position in the bottom half of the map, while on the other side, Morgan's Renekton was swaggering along the jungle towards the river. After briefly finding no sign of anyone, he began to move upwards as usual.

Top laners may have a lot of bad intentions and be very cautious, but that usually happens after 3 and a half minutes.

Three and a half minutes ago, they were only thinking about one thing.

"Will the enemy top laner ambush me on my recall lane?"

"If he ambushes me, can I beat him in a one-on-one fight?"

"If I can't beat him, is there a way for me to run back to base without losing lane gold, or to hold out until my teammates arrive?"

Once these three questions are thought out, most top laners have nothing to fear. Morgan is a prime example. He has watched TES's match replays and, apart from last year when he had a morbid obsession with helping the top lane, he has hardly seen any early-game strategies targeting the top lane this year.

In other words, based on his habitual thinking, he is currently safe.

He could never have imagined that the highest form of courtesy the LPL region could show to top laners was a damn military training package.

Even if you leave the LPL, you'll still get the experience you didn't get in the LPL.

What is this regret of not being ganked in the LPL when playing top lane?

Just like how Hans Christian Andersen stopped writing fairy tales and started selling newspapers.

Lu Xun stopped criticizing current affairs and went to study medicine.

Edison stopped inventing and went to work.

Socrates abandoned philosophy and went into politics.

Not suitable~

For Morgan, it was like knowing you've turned when your car hits a wall;

You know to buy when the stock price goes up;

Your girlfriend broke up with you, so you know to pursue her again.

You made a mistake, were sentenced, and then you knew to repent.

late!

The moment Morgan face-checked the bush, LPL was struck by divine retribution!

Final Chapter: Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Road to Hell

Peeking into the bushes with your face exposed is a cardinal sin in warfare!

[Morgan! My good brother from the LPL, I've approved your application to join the Party.]

[This is so true, everyone's saving their skills for a kill, but Lu Ban's WAA combo still has the highest burst damage.]

[Luna? If Banhuang hadn't caused trouble this game, the enemy bot lane would have been completely wiped out!]

Without knowing Roland Nami's skill level, LPL viewers' concerns about the bot lane mainly focus on whether the support will play recklessly. This man, who usually gives them a great sense of "security," has now become the one who makes them feel the least secure.

What's that old saying again?

When there is no danger around a child, then his father is the biggest danger (doge).

"If you can't dominate the opponent with an extra longsword, won't the coach beat you to a pulp when we get back?" As a support player and having been threatened before the match, Roland was the only one who didn't try to steal kills. He was happy to have some peace and quiet. It's just playing support, anyone can do that.
