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

Chapter 224: Give the Taiwanese top laner some strength!
The first round of ban/pick is over, and we move on to the second round.

Flash Wolves banned Tahm Kench and Jayce.

LGD banned Shen and Thresh.

"Hey, LGD picked a bunch of support heroes as their third pick, and it actually worked. They got a ban!" Miller said.

“Yes!” Doll nodded. “I feel like Flash Wolves probably didn’t intend to ban Tahm Kench at first.”

"I just saw LGD pick Tahm Kench, and then I suddenly thought banning Tahm Kench would be a good idea!"

"As for LGD, they probably still think Malzahar has a certain possibility of playing mid lane, so they banned Thresh for support!"

"Thresh is a champion that veteran support players like SwordArt are extremely skilled at playing!"

In the second round, the red team chooses first.

After much hesitation, with only a few seconds left in the countdown to select a candidate...

Flash Wolves revealed Galio on the fourth floor of the red team.

Then it was locked in.

Seeing this, Miller said, "Oh, Galio, Flash Wolves have a trick up their sleeve. We don't know whether they'll reserve the last counter pick for the top laner or the mid laner!"

However, when Flash Wolves locked down Galio.

Zhou Dian smiled in the LGD players' seat.

Dgc behind him also laughed.

"Did Xiao Zhou guess that accurately? He really did ban Shen, so Flash Wolves will definitely pick Galio!" Dgc thought to himself.

From LGD's perspective, Flash Wolves' Galio pick must be a top lane Galio.

Subsequently, LGD selected Bard on the fourth floor of the blue side.

"Bard support!"

"Bard has been buffed in the recent patch, his passive has been significantly improved."

"PYL's Bard pick is probably the first time we've seen Bard in recent matches!"

After a pause, Miller continued, "In that case, LGD only has one top laner left to pick. I wonder what champion Zhou Shen will choose for his MSI debut?"

"Anyway, I think Flash Wolves' Galio is more likely to be played in the top lane!" Wawa added.

With about half of the champion selection countdown complete, LGD suddenly revealed Vayne on the fifth floor of the blue side.

Then it was immediately locked in.

There was a sudden cheer from the audience.

The audience was mainly local Brazilians, and there weren't many LGD fans among them.

But as I said before, which viewer doesn't love watching a highly entertaining champion like Vayne?
Therefore, the cheers from the audience were not for LGD, but for Vayne.

"Wow, the first game is Vayne top lane! Zhou Shen really dares to pick that!" Miller exclaimed.

"This is Zhou Shen's first international match in his professional career, and he dared to pick Vayne top lane. That really takes a lot of courage!"

“Zhou Shen has never lacked courage, okay!” the doll immediately chimed in.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, LGD locked in Vayne on the fifth floor of the blue side.

The refresh rate of the bullet comments suddenly skyrocketed.

[Holy crap, they went straight for Vayne? Are they that overconfident?]

[Would Zhou Shen still be Zhou if he wasn't arrogant?]

[Good, good, good, Vayne is good, let's give the Taiwanese top laners some strength!]

[Mimi Egg: Zhou, damn it, what the hell do we have to do this?]

[It's okay, quickly move Galio to mid lane, then pick a champion that counters Vayne!]

You're a smart person, but is it possible that there aren't any top laners who can counter Vayne in lane?

[Sure, could it be that Mimi Egg is going to pick a female police officer for top lane?]

[With Mimi's cowardly attitude, if he dares to pick Caitlyn top lane, I'll acknowledge him as my father on the spot!]

【.】

In the commentary box.

The doll continued, "Miller, do you think there's a possibility?"

"what?"

"When Flash Wolves' top laner Mimi saw Vayne in the top lane, even though he originally planned to play Galio top lane, he became hesitant and decided to move Galio to the mid lane!"

"I don't think so!" Miller shook his head.

"At least Galio has a Q skill that can clear minions from a distance, right? Wouldn't it be even worse playing other champions?"

Miller, like many viewers, believes that Mimi Egg's champion pool is simply not enough to support him moving Galio to the mid lane and choosing a top lane champion that can counter Vayne.

Meanwhile, on the Flash Wolves' bench.

When MimiDan saw LGD pick Vayne for top lane, the smile on her face instantly vanished as she was chatting and laughing with Karsa.

"Damn it! Why does this Zhou like playing marksman top lane so much?!" Mimi Egg complained angrily.

As she spoke, Mimi Egg turned to Maple and said, "Brother Feng, how about you play with Galio?"

“I have no problem playing!” Maple shrugged. “But do you have any champions that can counter Vayne?”

"Uh, I..." Mimi Egg couldn't speak.

"Alright, don't change my draft strategy without my permission! Galio top lane!" Flash Wolves head coach Steak stepped forward and made the final decision.

The steak was mentioned.

Karsa, who originally wanted to tell Mimi Egg, "Don't worry, I'll catch it for you!", swallowed the words back.

According to the head coach's plan, Mimi Egg is playing Galio in the top lane this game, which means she has to withstand pressure.

The jungler should gank the top lane less and help the mid lane more.

Then the mid and jungler team up to gank the bot lane.

As for hitting the road?

Play by yourself!

It would be great if we didn't have to support a father!
Finally, Flash Wolves picked Ryze for mid lane on the fifth floor of the red side.

"Ryze!"

"Actually, from a laning perspective, I'm not very optimistic about Flash Wolves' Ryze pick!"

“But they might be considering using Ryze to limit Taliyah’s roaming ability!” Miller said.

Actually, after Flash Wolves picked Ryze, the overall lineup was finalized.

Miller's first reaction was: Isn't this just EDG?
But he didn't dare say it.

on the main stage.

Both head coaches are making the most of their time to give their players some final instructions.

As the referee urged them on, Dgc and Steak reluctantly closed their laptops, took off their headphones, and left the players' seats.

Both of them were leading a team in an international competition for the first time as head coaches, so it would be impossible for them not to feel nervous or apprehensive.

Steak is a bit better, after all, he played in the World Championship a few times when he was a player. He has some relevant experience.

But Dgc is a complete novice in this regard.

But then he remembered what Zhou Dian had told him: "Just think of Flash Wolves as EDG, they're the same thing!"

This alleviated much of Dgc's anxiety and worry.

Damn it, this year's LGD could easily crush EDG!

I heard that Flash Wolves' top laner, Mimi, isn't necessarily as good as Mouse or Letme.

Xiao Zhou can easily beat Mouse and Letme with one hand.

Then, wouldn't it be possible to pound these nipples without using your hands?

"That's an exaggeration! That's an exaggeration!"

Dgc, who had already reached the center of the stage, shook his head, shaking these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

Then he extended his right hand and shook hands with Flash Wolves head coach Steak.

After shaking hands with Dgc, Steak quickly turned around and rushed into the player tunnel.

His agility was completely at odds with his 300-pound physique.

"Damn, why is LGD's head coach grinning like an idiot one minute and shaking his head the next? Could he be seriously ill?" Steak thought to himself.

"He's a bit scary, I need to stay away from him!"

After both head coaches entered the players' tunnel.

On the large screen at the scene.

The game has reached the loading screen.

Blue side LGD:

Top lane Vayne, jungle Elise, mid lane Taliyah, bot lane Ashe and Bard.

Red Team Flash Wolves:

Top lane Galio, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Ryze, bot lane Varus and Malzahar.

"Alright, the match has started! LGD on the blue side, versus Flash Wolves on the red side!"

As the doll shouted loudly, the OB interface appeared on the large screen at the scene.

The second group stage match of the first day of this year's MSI has officially begun.

The audience at the scene also cheered and howled at the top of their lungs.

The vast majority of them had no preference for this match.

Cheer for the teams on the field because they expect both sides to put on a great match for them, the spectators.

As for the remaining group that is still shouting and yelling,

South Americans are like that; they love to join in the fun.

As long as someone starts yelling, it will immediately become a chorus of screams.

Back to the game.

LGD's five players quickly bought their starting gear and rushed out of the fountain.

The five people followed the central path and continued forward.

Without stopping, they rushed to the riverbed bushes on the right side of the middle lane.

At this moment, Flash Wolves' mid laner Ryze had already positioned himself in the bushes behind the red team's blue buff.

Judging from the positioning of LGD's five players, it's clear they're heading towards the bush where Ryze is.

"Hey, hey, hey, LGD's positioning is just like G2's earlier!" Miller exclaimed.

In the MSI opening match where SKT defeated G2, which just ended.

Faker's Syndra, after leaving the base at the start of the game, stood in the same bush where Ryze is now.

Then they were caught off guard by the five members of G2.

Less than fifty seconds into the game, they gave up the first blood.

At this moment, all five members of LGD rushed straight for the bush behind the red team's blue buff, a move they had indeed learned from G2.

I watched the SKT vs. G2 match.

LGD's players only decided on the spur of the moment to try and catch someone at the start of the game.

Unfortunately, Flash Wolves clearly learned from Faker's mistake of giving away first blood.

Ryze walked into the bush behind his blue buff and didn't linger.

He walked straight out of the bushes.

I took two steps forward and walked into the small patch of grass in the middle of the riverbed.

As soon as Ryze entered the bush, five LGD players emerged from the river bush next to the mid lane on his left.

Seeing all five LGD players together, Maple was startled and quickly controlled Ryze to leave the bushes and slide down the river.

At the same time, I was also a little relieved that I hadn't been hiding in the bush behind the blue buff.

Because the view was blocked by the corner of the wall to the left of that bush.

If he were still in that grass, he wouldn't be able to spot LGD players moving past from the left immediately.

By the time they realized it, the other side was already facing them.

That's how Faker got a big blow from G2.

Seeing Ryze slip away, the doll couldn't help but say:

"Oh dear, what a pity! If I could have been just a little faster, I would have caught Ryze!"

"Hey, it's okay, let's just start normally!" Miller added.

Having failed to catch Ryze, the five LGD players dispersed and returned to their own jungle.

The five players grouped up at the start of the game and did not intend to invade the enemy's jungle.

I went there simply to catch Ryze.

If they didn't catch them, they naturally left.

"Wow, with this playstyle, if Ryze had been hiding in that bush over there, he would have suffered just as badly as Faker!"

The doll is still slightly "resentful" about Ryze escaping unscathed.

All I can say is that G2's little trick is something they can only use themselves.

Once you've used it, it's hard for it to be effective anymore.

Don't underestimate the power of these little tricks.

Sometimes, a sudden, clever trick or design can catch your opponent off guard.

This often leads to a direct victory in a match.

European and American teams, especially European teams, are known for their unconventional strategies and maneuvers.

The title "Western artist" isn't just for show.
