You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 126 You didn't even pick Fiora? That's a draft that leaves you no way out!

Walking through the player tunnel, Wei Shen said to PYL, "Xiaoping, why don't you play a tank support next game? Otherwise, Zhou Dian and I alone won't be able to kill Doinb enough times!"

"We must kill him completely in the next round!"

Upon hearing Wei Shen's words, Zhou Dian and PYL both laughed.

Although Wei Shen's words before the game revealed his consideration for the team, he still had a lot of anger inside.

After playing this first game, it was quite obvious that QG's strength was significantly weaker than LGD's.

QG's mid-jungle duo, Doinb and Clid, performed quite well, but the other three positions were really lacking.

QG's mid and jungle are consistently strong against weaker teams, but against truly strong teams, QG almost always loses.

So, after playing the first game, Wei Shen had a good grasp of QG's strength and started thinking about how to get back at them.

In the first game, I definitely didn't get to play to my heart's content.

“OK, I’ll play Alistar in the second game, okay? I’ll go all out!” PYL said with a smile.

"Actually, the key is still the Ice Maiden. If we have the Ice Maiden, it's much easier to kill her. It doesn't matter what we two do!" Zhou Dian added.

"That's true!" Wei Shen nodded. "So, if QG bans Lissandra in the second game, what should I play?"

"Ban it if you want, there are plenty of heroes who can kill!" Zhou Dian shrugged.

"Too!"

As they spoke, the three of them had already reached the door of the lounge.

As for the other two, Eimy and imp, they had already rushed to the toilet to light mosquito coils!
The match between LGD and QG, although neither team is currently a major draw, still attracted a lot of attention.

Firstly, it's because Doinb is a foul-mouthed person, and he had a little "problem" with Wei Shen before the match.

Secondly, the match is on Saturday afternoon, which naturally attracts more attention.

As a result, after the first game of the BO3 series ended, the content of the game sparked considerable discussion on platforms such as Baidu Tieba and Weibo.

Most people are discussing how LGD relentlessly targeted Doinb, killing him to a 0-7 score and almost feeding.

Some people applauded, and even felt that the targeting was not enough and that it needed to be even more intense.

Some people think LGD went too far. As the saying goes, "Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future."

Aside from the majority of discussions about the players' personal grudges, there was also a small portion that was seriously discussing the content of the competition.

Although QG relies heavily on their mid and jungle players, their overall strength is definitely not weak.

LGD easily defeated QG without even playing seriously, which shows that LGD's current strength truly makes them one of the top teams in the LPL.

Why do we say LGD didn't play seriously in the first game?
Because targeting the opponent's mid lane relentlessly throughout the game is a strategy that LGD has basically never used in matches.

Going against one's usual gaming habits reveals a casualness, and naturally, it doesn't come across as serious.

Furthermore, almost all the viewers felt that Zhou Dian's choice of Zhao Xin as the top laner in the first game was just for show.

He was picked solely to be the second jungler to counter Doinb.

Because the audience didn't really notice any other role played by this top laner, Xin Zhao.

Unlike Lucian in the top lane, Cassiopeia in the top lane clearly has some strategic role.

Therefore, in the eyes of these viewers, from the draft to the game content, LGD was focused on targeting Doinb rather than thinking about how to win in the first game. Even so, they were able to speedrun QG in more than 20 minutes. LGD's current strength is truly on their way to the championship!
"Alright, everyone, welcome back!"

"As you can see, both teams have returned to the stage. The second game of the BO3 between LGD and QG is about to begin the draft phase!"

I remember that as soon as I finished speaking, the BP interface appeared on the big screen at the scene.

LGD, who had the right to choose sides, conventionally chose the blue side in the second game.

QG is on the red side.

First round of BP.

QG banned Jayce, Caitlyn, and Lissandra with their three ban slots.

"Banning Jayce and Caitlyn is a way to counter Zhou Shen and imp's champions. Banning Lissandra shows that Doinb was indeed targeted quite badly in the last game!"

Remember continued, "The reason LGD was able to target Doinb so effectively in the last game wasn't actually because of Zhou Shen's top lane Xin Zhao, but because Lissandra is such a great champion to gank with teammates!"

The discussion between Zhou Dian and his teammates came true; QG indeed banned Ice Maiden in the first round.

Of course, if Doinb couldn't see this, he wouldn't be ranked first on the current Spring Split MVP list.

The MVP of the first game was awarded to Zhou Dian's Zhao Xin.

After winning this MVP, Zhou Dian's MVP count is still two behind Doinb's, which is still within a catch-up range.

But as I said before, there are many more heroes than just Lissandra who can be used for extreme counterplay.

The Ice Maiden was banned, but other heroes were released as a result.

"Now that Fiora is out there, I wonder if LGD will first pick Fiora on the blue side!" Rita said.

"I think it's very likely!" Remember said. "After all, Zhou Shen's Fiora is basically a guaranteed win if he picks her. It's been a long time since she's been released, so we have to pick her!"

"However, it doesn't necessarily have to be on the first floor. Kabe probably won't choose Fiora. It's not too late to choose on the second or third floor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Dian displayed his Blue Steel Shadow on the first floor of the Blue Team's building and then locked it.

"Oh, Camille!"

"Should we build Camille first? Camille's laning ability isn't as strong these days, so building her first doesn't seem like a good idea!"

Remember continued, "However, Zhou Shen's Camille is also a signature move, so he's naturally not afraid to go first!"

What I didn't notice was that Doinb's face immediately darkened when he saw that Camille.

Damn, wasn't it said that Zhou's Fiora was invincible and a must-pick when she was released?
Why is it that when I give him Fiora, he doesn't even pick her?

You're not playing by the rules!

Doinb had a very strong premonition that Zhou's choice of Camille over Fiora meant that LGD was very likely to target him again, just like in the previous game.

Camille, in terms of ganking ability, is two levels stronger than Xin Zhao, basically a top-tier champion in League of Legends.

A tingling sensation began to run through Doinb's scalp.

If I had known this guy had Fiora, I should have given the ban slot to Camille instead.

But then I thought about it.

Not right either!
If they don't ban Crystal Maiden, then LGD will definitely first pick her.

To put it bluntly, if someone wants to target you, they'll always find a way.

Unlike Doinb, QG's top laner Kabe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw LGD first pick Camille.

He originally strongly requested that Fiora be banned in the first round, but Doinb disagreed.

Zhou Dian knew very well what level of skill his Fiora was.

However, there are no champions in his champion pool that can even barely deal with Fiora.

Kabe was prepared to be crushed by Fiora in this game, but Zhou Shen unexpectedly picked Camille in the end.

If it's Camille, then he has a hero to fight!

If Zhou Dian knew what Kabe was thinking right now, he could only say, "Dude, you're overthinking it!"

I picked Camille instead of Fiora, so why should I even bother laning against you?

Let's arrest Doinb!

Next, after QG picked their heroes on the first and second floors of the red side, LGD picked Ezreal and Alistar on the second and third floors of the blue side.

Seeing this, Remember said, "With EZ and Alistar in the bot lane, it seems LGD's bot lane isn't planning on laning this game!" Doinb's face grew increasingly dark after seeing LGD's bot lane duo.

The fucking Ezreal and Alistar have been picked, isn't the meaning obvious?!

It's obvious that EZ will be left hanging in the bot lane, while Alistar will relentlessly gank him in the mid lane.

Doinb's face turned from black to green. Faced with LGD's obvious counter-pick of Camille and Alistar, he no longer knew which hero to choose in this game.

You should at least choose a flexible and mobile one that is easier to deal with when facing multiple opponents.

The first choice is naturally the calamity.

But Doinb doesn't know how to play Zed at all.

Playing in a competition is not like playing ranked matches; practicing new heroes in a competition is suicidal.

Aside from Zed, the most suitable champion is naturally Fizz.

Although Fizz is now mostly built as a semi-tank top laner and isn't very good as a mid laner, we still have to pick him anyway.

We've moved on to the second round of draft picks.

LGD banned Fizz right away.

"Ban Fizz? Almost nobody plays top lane Fizz these days!"

"However, Camille does have a tough time against Fizz. Her E skill hook is hard to land on Fizz, and her ultimate might not be able to lock him down because of Fizz's E skill!"

I remember not realizing at all that LGD was trying to ban Fizz; I thought they were banning top lane Fizz.

Seeing this ban, Doinb had a strong urge to smash his keyboard.

Doinb slapped the armrest of the seat, took a deep breath, and suppressed the impulse.

It's okay, even if the little fishman is gone, there's still the vampire.

Although vampires are a bit less effective than murlocs in resisting this tactic.

However, thanks to his W skill, Vampire can still dodge a lot of ganks.

Moreover, compared to Fizz, Vladimir is much more compatible with the current meta. In this version, mid-lane Vladimir is quite strong and is frequently played.

But the next moment.
LGD banned Vladimir in their last ban.

"Xiba!"

Doinb immediately blurted out a phrase in his hometown dialect.

His voice was so loud that his teammates and coaches all looked over at him.

At this point, most viewers in the live broadcast room also understood LGD's draft logic in this game.

[Haha, banning both Fizz and Vampire, they're really leaving no way out!]

[QG even banned Ice Maiden themselves, so Doinb really had no heroes to pick this game!]

With these heroes gone, picking any other hero will result in certain death!

LGD played terribly this game, but I like it!

[This is targeted like this? What kind of grudge do you hold against us? Just tell me, what kind of grudge do you hold against us?]

[Alright, alright, the betting is open! A no-prize contest: guess how many times Doinb will die this game. Type 1 if you think he'll die less than eight, and 2 if he'll die more than eight!]

【1111】

【2222】

【.】

Ultimately, Doinb chose his signature Ryze mid laner.

Ryze has sufficient wave clear, and the high movement speed after triggering his Q passive also helps him escape.

In this game, Wei Shen also picked his signature Syndra mid lane champion.

Due to the objective differences in hero attributes, Syndra sent a large wave of minions to Ryze's tower at level three.

There's nothing you can do about it. No matter who you put in charge, Ryze will just get pushed back by Syndra in the early levels.

It was at this moment that Camille and Alistar simultaneously disappeared from the middle and bottom lanes.

QG's top laner and support started spamming miss signals, relentlessly expressing their anxiety to Doinb.

Damn it, this is inhuman! They're trying to arrest me at level three!

Even the bull's head only has two levels.

Despite his anger, Doinb could only control Ryze to retreat towards the second tower.

Even though he hadn't actively replenished his blood, he had already taken a bottle of blood-replenishing medicine to maintain his health.

But Syndra, Camille, and Alistar can easily take down a full-health Ryze.

Doinb stood under the second tower, watching the blue team's minions being devoured one by one by the tower, and he felt incredibly heartbroken.

Soon, Camille and Alistar reappeared on their respective lanes.

Doinb then controlled Ryze to move forward and clear the minions.

Actually, Zhou Dian and PYL never intended to run to the mid lane at this point; they were just trying to scare Doinb.

After the last game, Doinb is now a bit on edge.

If anything seems amiss, I'll immediately think that they've come to arrest him.

Soon, the minion wave under QG's first tower was cleared, and the mid-lane minion wave began to push back towards LGD.

So, when Ryze reached level 4.5, Camille and Alistar disappeared from their respective lanes once again.

This time, Zhou Dian and PYL are really heading towards the mid lane.

Doinb didn't want the minion wave to be blocked in front of Syndra's tower, so he called his jungler to help him push the lane.

Having just finished pushing the mid-lane minion wave, Doinb was preparing to retreat to his tower and recall.

Two grappling hooks flew out from an area with no visibility in the upper part of the river and got caught on the thin wall on the left side of the middle path.

The end of the hook lock is connected to the Blue Steel Shadow.

The grappling hook, along with the steel shadow, slung against the wall.

Then, Camille flew towards Ryze.

Doinb didn't try to dodge Camille's E skill by moving around, but instead decisively used Flash.

However, Zhou Dian's performance was superior.

Two beams of yellow light flashed across the mid lane almost simultaneously. Camille used her E-flash to follow Ryze's flash, knocking Ryze unconscious.

Wei Shen's Syndra followed up with a QE combo, and the Dark Orb was pushed onto Ryze, continuing the crowd control.

The Alistar, emerging from the river grass on the right side of the mid lane, also took the opportunity to close the distance with Ryze.

WQ's double attack knocked Ryze away.

Before Alistar's E skill could even finish charging, Ryze, having taken so many hits, was already killed.

Ryze's head was taken by Camille.

We have to take this first blood of the week, because he came from a losing position.

Syndra didn't lose any minions, Alistar is a support, so Camille was definitely the most suitable to take this kill.
