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

Chapter 127 Four-game winning streak concludes the inter-group competition, Sigma Men reach their weekly peak!
First Blood!
The voice announcement of the first blood resounded throughout the entire venue.

The LGD fans at the scene immediately cheered.

In the live broadcast room, most viewers laughed when they saw this scene.

[Wow, it's started!]

The targeting in this game started even earlier than in the previous game!

I'm dying of laughter! They're really leaving no way out for us!

To be honest, this was purely because Zhou Shen reacted too quickly; otherwise, Doinb would have gotten away!

Indeed, Camille's E-Flash and Flash combo was a bit too fast!

[Zhou Shen is awesome!]

【.】

On the QG players' bench, Doinb picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and calmed himself down.

He knew that a storm was brewing.

After Ryze respawns, he is immediately teleported back online.

With the teleportation available, the minion wave pushed forward before Ryze died, so Ryze didn't lose any minions in this wave of death.

But what follows will be the real "test" for him.

The game lasted a little over 6 minutes.

Zhou Dian's Camille burst out from behind the wall at QG's F6 camp.

As soon as Camille and Ryze met, Camille used Hextech Ultimatum (R) to lock Ryze inside.

Next, Wei Shen's Syndra came up and poured energy (R) onto Ryze.

After scattering dark orbs all over the ground, Syndra used Scatter Weakness to push the orbs away.

No matter how hard Doinb tried to position himself, he couldn't avoid Syndra's numerous orbs and was knocked unconscious.

At this point, Ryze had no tank items, so Camille and Syndra's damage against him was completely excessive.

Before either of them could use all their skills, Ryze was killed.

This time, the kill went to GodV's Syndra.

[Wow, he died twice already! It feels like Doinb's total deaths this game are going to exceed eight!]

Absolutely! If you run into Camille, you'll be locked in a cage and beaten to a pulp!

[Damn it, I'm going to report LGD for animal abuse!]

What animals were abused?

This is monkey abuse!

[This is outrageous! Abusing monkeys!]

I suggest Doinb hurry up and get to 15 PM to avoid this torture!

You can't surrender in a match!

【Huh? You can't surrender? Didn't IG surrender during the World Championship?】

[You little devil, that was a year and a half ago! Surrender is no longer allowed!]

【.】

In the live stream chat, the viewers couldn't stop laughing.

After receiving the reward money, Syndra went home and completed the missing chapter.

Now, even without teammates ganking, in a simple 1v1 mid lane matchup, Ryze is finding it hard to keep up with Syndra.

Of course, it's impossible for LGD to have no one ganking in the mid lane.

One minute later, PYL's Alistar arrived in the mid lane, followed by Eimy.

LGD's jungler and support, along with Wei Shen's Syndra, tower-dived and killed Ryze.

Ryze has now died three times.

In the bottom lane, after PYL's Alistar left and appeared in the mid lane, QG's bottom lane duo also chose to tower dive imp's Ezreal.

With their own mid laner being ganged up on, the other laners can't just sit idly by!

Unfortunately, wanting to do something and being able to do it are often two different things.

This involves the issue of a specific ability.

QG's bot lane duo were outmaneuvered by imp during a tower dive, missing a lot of their skills.

Although they managed to dodge EZ in the end, both QG bot laners died under LGD's bot lane tower.

"Two of them, noobs!" Imp chuckled.

QG's proactive tower dive resulted in a two-for-one exchange.

Blood loss!
Even though Ryze was killed three times in a row, Doinb managed to keep a straight face.

But after seeing his two teammates in the bottom lane tower dive and die, Doinb couldn't hold back anymore and his face fell.

This caused many viewers in the live chat to start sympathizing with Doinb, as his teammates were indeed quite incompetent.

The mid laner is being targeted like this, at least the other lanes should contribute something!
Unfortunately, QG's other lanes were truly ineffective.

Clid's mechanics are pretty good, but he doesn't have much of a strategy in matches. Usually, Doinb carries him, and the mid and jungle players work together to set the pace.

Now that Doinb has been completely destroyed, Clid is also half-destroyed.

QG's two side laners are indeed a bit lacking in skill.

Zhou Dian and PYL often lost out on experience when roaming, but when they returned to lane, they still dominated QG's top and bottom lanes, easily taking back lane control.

It can only be said that this game situation is unsolvable for QG.

Doinb really wished it were 15 PM right now.

Unfortunately, I can't order it; I'll have to continue suffering.

To avoid suffering, Doinb started playing aggressively on the field.

All he wants now is to preserve the last shred of dignity—to avoid being solo-killed by Syndra.

Syndra's equipment is now much better than Ryze's, and she is fully capable of solo killing a full-health Ryze. Ryze cannot withstand Syndra's full combo damage.

Even if Doinb plays aggressively and tries to avoid direct confrontations with Syndra, facing champions like Camille and Alistar, you can't escape being chased just by playing aggressively.

Just over 10 minutes into the game, Camille used her ultimate to catch Ryze in QG's jungle, and with Eimy's help, they killed Ryze.

Ryze has died four times.

In the live broadcast room:

[I see now, it's not that Wei Shen and Doinb have a grudge, it's that Zhou Shen and Doinb have a grudge!]

You just realized that?

[Zhou Shen went a bit too far today!]

[When has Zhou Shen ever been lenient? It's just that he used to target the enemy top laner, but today he's targeting the enemy mid laner!]

[Kabe: Thanks to Coin Guy for drawing the attention away from me, I don't have to be used as teaching material anymore!]

[Given these two stomp games today, is Zhou Shen going to edit a video to rub salt in the wound for Doinb?]

Haha, who knows!

I think it's very possible, something that someone like Zhou Shen could do!

[Let's snatch the bamboo shoots!]

【.】

The second game was ultimately ended by LGD at the 28-minute mark. When the red team's base crystal exploded, Doinb's Ryze death count stopped at 9.

Ultimately, it still didn't break into double digits.

Doinb was quite good at surviving; in the last ten minutes or so, Ryze only died five times.

After all, Ryze is a champion who has an ultimate ability that allows him to teleport over long distances.

At the slightest sign of trouble, Doinb immediately used his ultimate ability to escape, ignoring everything else, since he had no intention of winning anyway.

However, LGD ultimately succeeded in making Doinb feed like crazy.

In the two games, Doinb died 7 times in the first game and 9 times in the second game.

I died a total of 16 times in the two games.

Fortunately, Ryze managed to secure a kill in the final moments of the second game, bringing his score to 1-9.
Thus, Doinb's overall record in this BO3 series is 1-16.
It's still pretty bad, but at least it's better than 0-16!
"So, let's congratulate LGD on sweeping QG 2-0 in their final BO3 match in the inter-group competition!"

Remember continued, "With this, LGD has now ended all six of their inter-group matches!"

"In these six inter-group matches, LGD achieved an excellent record of five wins and one loss."

"Especially in the last four matches, LGD finished this round of inter-group matches with a four-game winning streak!"

When the commentator keeps talking on and on the field.

On the main stage, the LGD players had already stood up from their seats.

Led by team captain PYL, the five LGD members headed towards QG's player bench.

At this moment, Doinb displayed his performing talent, wearing a very deliberate smile as he shook hands with each of the LGD team members.

But in Doinb's heart, he had already started cursing.

And the cursing hasn't stopped yet.

When it was Zhou Dian's turn to shake hands with Doinb, Zhou Dian glanced at the professional smile on Doinb's face and said, "If you want to curse, then curse. Holding it in is bad for your health!"

Upon hearing this, Doinb's composure crumbled, and his face immediately fell.

Zhou Dian shrugged, walked forward, and shook hands and bumped fists with the rest of QG.

After shaking hands, the five members of LGD walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.

A huge cheer erupted from the audience.

The vast majority of the audience members present today are LGD fans.

LGD's recent performance has improved, and fans are more willing to go to the stadium to support their team.

After packing up their peripherals, the LGD team returned to the lounge.

As soon as he returned to the locker room, Zhou Dian received a notification from the on-site staff, asking him to prepare for the post-match interview.

A few minutes later, Zhou Dian returned to the main stage to be interviewed by today's host, Luo Xin, after the match.

The previous questions were all fairly standard.

But as the post-match interview drew to a close, Luo Xin suddenly asked a somewhat tricky question.

"In today's two games between LGD and QG, it was clear that LGD was extremely targeting QG's mid-laner Doinb, killing him a total of 16 times across the two games!"

"So, I'd like to ask Zhou, what were your reasons for making the decision to target Doinb?"

Ok?
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Dian raised an eyebrow.

Good grief, this is setting a trap for me!

Regardless of what Zhou Dian said, as long as he answered Luo Xin's question directly, it would be equivalent to him personally confirming that LGD deliberately targeted Doinb because of some off-field factors.

That's the truth, but some things are better done than said.

It's never pleasant to say it out loud.

At that time, Zhou Dian and LGD will face another wave of criticism from haters and be at the center of the audience's arguments.

Luo Xin, who sparked this discussion, was able to capitalize on the increased online traffic.

What a cunning woman! No wonder she could manipulate Wang Ji so easily.

Zhou Dian glanced at Luo Xin and said, "I think you may have misunderstood. In today's match, LGD did not deliberately target any player. We just played normally, like we usually do in matches!"

Seeing that Zhou Dian was not responding at all, Luo Xin asked anxiously, "Doinb died 16 times in two games. Isn't that enough to counter him?"

"I die 16 times in a single ranked game, and I don't feel like the opponents are targeting me!" Zhou Dian shrugged. "That's perfectly normal. Don't you play games normally?"

"I"

Zhou Dian's words left Luo Xin completely speechless, and she hastily ended the post-match interview.

In the live broadcast room, usually only about half the viewers remain during post-match interviews.

The number of bullet comments was also very small.

But when the post-match interview ended, the barrage of comments refreshed even faster than during the match itself.

[Trying to trap me, Zhou Shen? I won't tolerate your nonsense, I'll just confront you directly!]

Wow, Zhou Shen is so cool! He's not giving us any face at all!

[So Zhou Shen is a Sigma man! A role model for us all!]

"Don't you usually play games? That's a pretty cool question!"

[They really don't play games! How many of these female hosts in the LPL actually know how to play? They're just pretty faces!]

[This Luo Xin is shrewd; another contestant might have actually fallen for her trick!]

There must be something there! Otherwise, why would they say 'My second child chose him'?

[Wang Lao Er's Squirtle is a no-go; it's just a classic case of a small head controlling a big head!]

【.】

After defeating QG, LGD's record improved to seven wins and four losses, surpassing OMG and taking sole possession of second place in Group A, no longer tied with OMG for second place in Group A.

After this week's matches, the inter-group competition in the LPL Spring Split regular season will come to an end.

Starting next week, the regular season will return to group-based competition.

After each team completes five matches in the second round of group play, the regular season will end.

Now that they've secured second place in Group A, LGD's goal for the remainder of the regular season is no longer to guarantee a playoff spot.

Instead, they aim to overtake RNG and secure first place in Group A.

RNG currently has a record of eight wins and two losses.

They're just one big win away from catching up; there's no need to pin our hopes on RNG losing to other teams.

Because there is still a direct confrontation between the two teams.

That direct confrontation was the best opportunity to close the gap in wins.

There are many benefits to finishing first in Group A.

First, the top team in each of the two groups, A and B, in the regular season will directly advance to the semifinals, which is the final four, in the playoffs.

Being able to play one or two fewer BO5 rounds helps a team conceal its tactics and conserve its trump cards.

Incidentally, you can also observe the tactics and killer moves of other teams and think of ways to deal with them in advance.

Secondly, Riot Games added an intercontinental tournament this year.

The match will be held in early July, during the summer season regular season.

The top four teams from each region's spring season will qualify for this year's Intercontinental Championship.

In other words, as long as LGD can get first place in Group A in the regular season, they will automatically qualify for this year's Rift Rivals, regardless of the playoffs.
