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

Chapter 128 Dgc's ultimate move - passing the ball to Zhou Dian!
On the night the match against QG ended, Zhou Dian posted a status update on his D-site account, 【上单老祖】—

[Video update tomorrow!]

This simple update announcement immediately sparked a lot of discussion among fans.

Without a doubt, the footage used in tomorrow's video update will most likely be from today's LGD vs. QG match.

However, in this match, LGD dominated in both games, and there wasn't much to teach us.

Soon, fans realized what was happening.

The new video will most likely be a scathing critique of Doinb.

As a result, the comments under this post immediately changed to a different style.

Doinb is really unlucky to have messed with Zhou Shen!

Bad luck? Serves you right!

[He deserved it. Doinb's mouth is too foul. Only someone like Zhou Shen can teach him a lesson. He doesn't waste time talking nonsense; they just settle things on the field. Since Doinb lost, he has to bear the consequences. If you're so capable, then beat me!]

That makes sense. If you don't have the ability, then shut up with your nonsense. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and a clown?

Doinb is probably feeling repressed right now!

[Self-isolated? He's having a blast right now! He's thanking his boss for a hundred airplanes, he's practically bursting with excitement!]

[Haha, this is truly shameless! I support Zhou Shen giving them a good beating!]

【.】

The next morning, [Top Laner] released a new video.

Sure enough, there were many of Doinb's "highlight" moments from yesterday's match.

The moment the video was posted, the comment section immediately attracted a large number of viewers who came to watch and have fun, which really contributed a lot of interaction points to Zhou Dian.

That evening, in Doinb's live stream on Douyu TV.

As soon as Doinb started his stream, the chat was flooded with messages asking him to watch the latest video from [Top Laner Laozu].

Doinb, of course, wasn't fooled. He had already watched the video privately and knew its contents.

Gradually, viewers in the live stream started sending gifts, requesting Doinb to watch the video.

As more and more gifts were sent, and their value increased, Doinb's face beamed with joy.

After a series of exaggerated gestures and expressions of gratitude for the gifts, Doinb still opened the new video of "Top Laner Ancestor" and proceeded to mock himself.

Given Doinb's performative personality, he wouldn't have any psychological barriers to doing something like this.

His previous act of feigning distress was just a ploy to trick people into giving him more gifts.

Doinb's act of watching videos during his live stream actually generated a small buzz for Zhou Dian's new video.

This can be considered a unique form of "mutual achievement" between the two.

Zhou Dian's video helped Doinb earn more tips, and Doinb indirectly helped drive traffic to the video, allowing Zhou Dian to gain more interaction points.

However, at this time, although Doinb had already gained considerable fame in the LOL player community, he was not a top-tier player.

Zhou Dian's video this time was just a scathing critique of Doinb, without much actual teaching content. The number of interactions it garnered was decent, but still not as high as those previously viral teaching videos.

Wednesday arrived quickly, the day before LGD's matches this week.

After finishing the first half of the night's training, Zhou Dian returned to his dormitory and prepared to use up the interaction points he had accumulated during this period.

I haven't made many videos during this period, so I haven't accumulated many interaction points.

Including the recently released video of Doinb being tortured, the number of interaction points on the system panel has reached 900,000.

Let's not wait for a million points for a big surge.

Zhou Dian felt that he had been quite lucky in the previous draws, and the abilities he drew were quite useful and powerful.

However, one's luck cannot always be good.

Zhou Dian felt that if he saved up a million points to try his luck with the big draw, the result might be disappointing.

Coincidentally, Zhou Dian has recently felt that his hero pool is somewhat lacking and not comprehensive enough.

I might as well split these interaction points I've accumulated and use them to upgrade my hero proficiency.

I'll wait until I have a million more to try and get an S-rank ability.

Therefore, Zhou Dian divided the 900,000 interaction points into nine 100,000-point groups and extracted nine A-level abilities.

Surprisingly, I was quite lucky.

Of those, only the ability to obtain rewards from four draws is nonsense and completely useless.

The other five draws all used the keyword "Doinb," and each of these five draws resulted in a mastery level of a specific hero from Doinb's hero pool.

After five attempts, I drew five champions: Karma, Lulu, Rumble, Ryze, and Nautilus.

Doinb's champion pool left Zhou Dian speechless.

They're all either support heroes or top lane heroes; it's hard to find many proper mid laners.

Of course, Doinb's ability to play some moves that other mid-laners can't is also a major advantage.

All five heroes that Zhou Dian drew were at the "ordinary mastery" level!
To be honest, it's pretty good.

These heroes, except for Nautilus, are all lane bullies when playing top lane.

Having a certain level of proficiency in a basic skill is more than enough.

Most importantly, these heroes are all flexible, like Karma and Lulu, who can even be played in the top, mid, and bottom lanes.

With Zhou Dian's hero pool now having a few more heroes, LGD's draft picks in the upcoming matches will undoubtedly become even more unpredictable.

Perfect timing! We'll use these heroes to test the waters in tomorrow's match against OMG.

The next day, March 30th, Thursday.

Around 4 PM, the entire LGD team arrived at the LPL match venue.

The second match between LGD and OMG in this year's Spring Split regular season will start promptly at 5 PM.

The two teams first faced off more than a month ago during the regular season of this year's Spring Split.

At that time, the Spring Festival holiday had just ended, and Dgc had just arrived at LGD as the head coach, so he couldn't go on stage to participate in the draft phase.

Even so, Dgc felt very upset after LGD lost to OMG in that match.

Because OMG was Dgc's former owner.

Moreover, Dgc was practically kicked out by OMG.

As the saying goes, the worst thing after a breakup is that your ex is doing better than you, especially if the breakup wasn't amicable.

Therefore, Dgc absolutely does not want to lose to OMG again today.

Must take revenge.

So, in this ordinary regular season game, Dgc, as the head coach, became the most nervous person in the LGD team before the game.

Inside the LGD lounge.

Seeing Dgc pacing back and forth, PYL couldn't help but say, "Hey, Xu-ge, stop loitering around here. Didn't we just easily win this match? Didn't Xiao Zhou just easily carry?"

"You agree, right?" PYL suddenly turned to look at Zhou Dian.

what?
How did this suddenly get dragged into me?
Hearing this, Zhou Dian shrugged indifferently and said, "It's alright, anyway, there's no pressure in today's competition!"

Hearing PYL and Zhou Dian's conversation, Dgc's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. "Let's choose the red side for the first game!" Dgc waved his right hand.

In today's BO3 match against OMG, LGD has the right to choose sides for games one and three.

“This isn’t really necessary!” PYL said.

LGD's current strategy of actively picking the red hero is to force Zhou Dian to pick the last hero, thus handing over the responsibility of carrying the team to him.

To put it simply, actively choosing the red ball is equivalent to passing the ball to Zhou Dian.

This tactic is only used when the score is behind and there are no other good options.

There's no such thing as using desperate moves right from the start.

Moreover, today's opponent, OMG, is not a top-tier team like WE in the LPL right now!

"It's necessary. I think it's very necessary for us to choose red in the first game!" Dgc insisted on his opinion.

He doesn't want any risk of upsets in today's match and is determined to win steadily.

As OMG's former head coach, Dgc has a good understanding of the current OMG players.

OMG's top laner, Xiyang, isn't a true top laner by training; he transitioned from the mid lane position.

Sunset's top lane skill level has many shortcomings.

Therefore, Xiyang mostly plays tank heroes, focusing on surviving pressure in lane and making contributions in team fights.

I must say, Xiyang's team fighting skills are actually quite impressive.

In Dgc's opinion, there is no one in the entire LPL more suitable than Zhou Dian to deal with a top laner like Xi Yang.

These top laners who rely solely on team fights and play casually online will only get completely crushed when they encounter a full-strength Zhou.

As long as we play around Zhou Dian, this match is a sure win.

Therefore, Dgc chose to use his ultimate move right from the start—passing the ball to Zhou Dian!
After all, OMG's mid and bot lanes – icon and Sima Laozei – are quite strong, so it won't be easy for LGD to break through in the mid and bot lanes.

Zhou Dian originally wanted to rest during today's game.

Seeing Dgc's firm attitude, he said, "Fine, let it be red then. I just practiced two heroes, let's see if there's a chance to use them in the counter position!"

"Huh? Just started practicing? Is it reliable?" Dgc was a little numb, almost saying, "Brother Zhou, please have fun!"

"No problem, don't you trust me?" Zhou Dian said confidently.

"Alright, everyone, welcome to the 2017 LPL Spring Split Regular Season match!"

"This week is already the eighth week of the Spring Split regular season, and our regular season is gradually coming to an end. All teams are working hard for the final rankings. Every regular season game at this stage will have a huge impact on the final rankings!"

"Today's first match, which is also the first match of the eighth week of the regular season, is LGD vs. OMG. It's a very crucial battle for position!"

“LGD is currently ranked second in Group A, and OMG is ranked third in Group A. If OMG can win this direct confrontation, they can tie with LGD for second place in Group A. If LGD wins this game, they can widen the gap in wins between them and OMG. With only four games left in the regular season, it will be a bit difficult for OMG to catch up with LGD!” Guan Zeyuan said a lot in one breath.

Zhihuan added, "So, neither team can afford to lose this BO3 today. After all, the competition for rankings in Group A is too fierce right now. The top five teams are only separated by three major wins."

The commentators for today's two matches were Guan Zeyuan and Zhihuan.

Many fans of both LGD and OMG teams were present at the event.

OMG even has more fans.

The old 59E was no joke.

After struggling to avoid relegation for a year last year, OMG has made a significant improvement in its performance this year.

Many longtime OMG fans are hoping that OMG will achieve something great this year.

However, in the upcoming matches, LGD will throw cold water on OMG's fans, telling them that OMG is still a bit short of achieving good results.

Soon, the draft phase for the first game of the BO3 series began.

OMG (blue team), LGD (red team).

In the commentary box.

"LGD took the initiative to choose the red side in the first game, which is quite interesting!" Guan Zeyuan said.

“Yes!” Zhihuan nodded. “Although LGD’s top laner Zhou Shen is an absolute strong player, it is understandable for him to take the initiative to pick the red buff when he has an advantage in the top lane.”

"But in the last few matches, LGD hasn't actively chosen the red side. Today, they suddenly changed their strategy against OMG, so they might have some new tactics!"

OMG was probably also taken aback by LGD's decision to pick the red buff.

In the first three bans, OMG's head coach Mingzhe directly banned three top lane heroes.

They are all heroes from the weekly hero pool.

This is not finished.

LGD did not pick a top laner in their first three picks.

So, in the second round of the draft, OMG banned two more top lane champions.

"Five bans on top laners!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise, "OMG is targeting Zhou Shen to the extreme!"

After banning five top laners, Xiyang picked Poppy as his top laner.

Zhou Dian smiled when he saw Poppy.

It's hard to change a slacker's nature.

I, Old Zhou, am the best at dealing with scoundrels!
So what if five top laners are banned? The old master of top lane knows a lot of champions!
"Tian, ​​get me Rambo!" Zhou Dian said.

Before PYL could even speak, Dgc quickly interjected, "Your Rambo, is it any safe? I've never seen you play it before!"

Trust me, it's perfectly safe!

OMG's lineup in this game was designed to focus on the bottom lane, ignoring the top lane.

If not now, when?

'Who are you calling short?'

Accompanied by a shrill voice, PYL locked up Rambo on the fifth floor of the red team's building.

In the live broadcast room, the refresh rate of the bullet comments suddenly skyrocketed.

[Oh wow, Rambo!]

[Roasting 59E!]

Don't drive a Rambo, you'll easily get caught!

[Mingkai once said: If Rumble is on the opposing team, I'll kill him at least five times!]

[Mingkai is a jerk! His words are like farts; why didn't he pick on anyone during the World Championship?]

【Wait, does Zhou Shen even know how to play Rumble? I've never seen him play Rumble before!】

All I can say is, believe first, then believe!

[Zhou Shen is a master at controlling the temperature; there's no way he can't play Rambo well, you know what I mean!]

I suspect you're implying something!

I didn't, don't talk nonsense!
