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

Chapter 195 Zhou Shen, where's your Darius? I'm waiting for your Darius!
Given the current form of both teams, will we see Zhou Shen's official photos today?

Guan Zeyuan posted this Weibo post.

After WE easily won the first game, WE fans, who were full of confidence that WE would win today's finals, suddenly started to panic.

In the comments section of this Weibo post, many WE fans were also commenting, "Guan Zeyuan, shut up!"

After all, Guan Zeyuan's mouth can sometimes be a little bit wicked!

Many WE fans are somewhat superstitious, fearing that Guan Zeyuan's "poisonous prediction" might kill WE.

Of course, many WE fans are still overconfident and think that LGD is nothing special.

I can beat LGD in a BO3 during the regular season, and I can beat you in a BO5 today too.

The main reason is that WE won the first game too easily.

Reality has a greater impact on people than these so-called jinxes and mystical theories.

Moreover, even if Guan Zeyuan's Weibo post turns out to be a jinx, so what if we see Zhou Dian's official photos later?

Even if he gets an MVP award, he can just do one official photoshoot.

But WE still won 3-1!
Therefore, the majority of WE fans, who were not afraid of Guan Zeyuan's so-called "poisonous predictions," took advantage of the break between the first and second games to rush to the D-site [Top Laner Ancestor]'s post from last night and start mocking Zhou Dian.

After all, Zhou Dian's statement that he would play Darius in the finals offended many fans of the 60E.

[Didn't you want to play Darius? Hurry up and pick him, or you'll miss your chance to take him 3-0!]

Hey Zhou Shen, where's your Darius? I'm waiting for your Darius!

[Zhou Shen? Zhou Chu!]

There's no need to criticize Zhou Shen. He doesn't have any real grudge against WE. Let's not follow the example of those Royal Never Give Up fans!

We definitely won't be seeing Darius today!

【Why? 】

[LGD is down 0-1, and if they lose the second game, it will be 0-2. They can't afford to pick that now! Unless LGD is currently leading, they might try to pull off a Darius pick!]

[It's hard to say. Zhou Shen's thought process is different from that of typical top laners. Are there any heroes he wouldn't dare to pick?]

Come on, he only beat up a few noobs like Mouse. He wouldn't dare try anything fancy in front of Leg Bro.

I know you guys are in a hurry, eager to show your true colors. But hold on a minute, or you'll all look like clowns if LGD wins!

[Clown? You probably don't know there's a feature called "delete comment"!]

【.】

The hundreds of comments that appeared under Zhou Dian's post during the brief break between the first and second games of the finals fully illustrate the current viewing mentality of many LPL viewers.

That's urgent, very urgent, extremely urgent!
When the home team has an advantage, they're quick to show off; when the home team is at a disadvantage, they're quick to predict its downfall.

The BO5 series has only just begun.

In most best-of-five (BO5) matches, the first game is used to test the waters.
The first game of a best-of-five series doesn't necessarily prove much.

The real battle to the death often begins in the second game of a best-of-five series.

Backstage.

When the LGD players returned to the rest room, they saw Dgc standing there with a dark expression, a chair right behind him, but he didn't sit down.

"Sit down and don't talk!" Dgc said, standing in the middle, after everyone had sat down.

"Did they get cocky after crushing EDG 3-0 in the semifinals?" "What kind of game was this? Did they play like a professional team? It was like playing a random game. After falling behind at the start, they just started doing their own thing!"

"You guys played too casually this game, not even as well as in the regular season. Have you forgotten that this is the LPL finals?"

"It's not that you can't lose, but you lost without any resilience, collapsing at the first blow, like a pro stomping a diamond. But are you really weaker than the WE players?"

"I don't think my players are weaker than others. They just need to adjust properly; the competition is far from over!"

Dgc has always been a very good-tempered coach and rarely criticizes his players.

Of course, given his virtually non-existent standing in the gaming community, he wouldn't dare to criticize so many veteran players in the LGD team.

Therefore, he said so many "severe words" in one go at this time.

It's clear that Dgc is really in a hurry.

Of course, it's normal to get anxious, after all, this is the LPL finals, and there are very few coaches who can remain completely calm and composed.

Given Dgc's skill level, even if he's in a hurry, he can't make enough adjustments to his tactics on the spot, so he can only keep spewing motivational platitudes.

I've said so much just now, but it's really to encourage the team members and hope they can unleash their full potential.

After the scolding had ended, Dgc continued, "Do you guys have anything to say? Let's all speak up and exchange ideas. We need to unite and work together!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dian immediately said, "Actually, Xu Ge is right about one thing: are we weaker than WE? Of course not, our regular season records are about the same. As for being crushed in the first game, it doesn't prove anything. Everyone has experienced being crushed in matches!"

"Damn, Xiao Zhou, you've already said all the encouraging things. What am I, as the team leader, supposed to say?" PYL laughed.

The others chuckled as well.

The atmosphere was good; it seemed that the LGD players weren't too affected by being crushed in the first game.

After the banter, Zhou Dian continued, "I think the Spider champion is definitely not a good pick. I know what you mean by Spider, Dan (Eimy). You have a fixed playstyle. I bet WE has figured you out!"

Upon hearing Zhou Dian's words, Eimy nodded vigorously twice.

Then, Zhou Dian turned to Dgc and said, "Brother Xu, for the second game, let's choose the red side. I'll take the counter, and we'll win for sure!"

After playing against 957 in the first match, Zhou Dian had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Upon hearing Zhou Dian's confident and unwavering words, Dgc's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded vigorously twice.

The intermission passed quickly.

Following instructions from staff, the players and coaches from both teams left the locker room and returned to the players' bench.

"Alright, everyone, welcome back! We're about to bring you the second game of the BO5 series between WE and LGD in the 2017 LPL Spring Split Finals!"

"Currently, WE leads LGD by a score of 1-0!"

"The first game was a bit one-sided, which surprised me. I look forward to a more exciting match in the second game!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miller added, "I don't think the situation from the first game will happen again!"

"But then again, LGD's performance today was a bit off!"

“Yes!” Rita nodded. “The feeling is very obvious!”

"I wonder how well LGD adjusted their form during the break! I hope they can regain their best form and deliver an even more exciting and intense final match!"

"Alright, the draft phase for the second game has begun!"
