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

Chapter 265 You think you're the only version? I'm a version too!
After appearing on the live stream screen.

As usual, the commentators read out an advertisement that lasted for more than a minute.

Then came some rather uninformative match analysis.

In a series of analyses.

The most practical advice is still, "Trust LGD!"

If the analysis doesn't hit the mark, it's indeed better to simply cheer for LGD.

Then, on the main stage.

Both players have already walked out of the player tunnel and taken their seats in their respective player seats.

“Okay, we can see that both teams have taken their seats again!” Long Hair said.

"Now, let's turn the camera to the commentary booth!"

The commentators in the commentary booth didn't have much time to improvise.

The live broadcast camera had only been on the commentary booth for half a minute.

The BP interface has already appeared on the large screen at the venue.

"Alright, the draft phase for the second game of the BO5 finals at MSI has begun!" Wawa shouted.

"SKT, who had the limited right to choose sides in the second game, chose the blue side, while LGD chose the red side!"

Let's take a look at the draft picks and bans for both sides!

First round of BP.

SKT banned Kennen, Twitch, and Kog'Maw.

LGD banned Jayce, Lulu, and Karma.

"Oh, the bans in the first three rounds were pretty much the same as in the last game!"

"Let's see how the two teams' first three picks differ from the last game!"

Jayce is a champion that should still be banned on the red side in the current version.

Even the LGD team is no exception.

This hero's laning strength and mid-game capabilities are truly formidable.

The last time we faced SKT in the group stage.

Zhou Dian was able to defeat Huni's Jayce with Fiora.

The main reason was that they caught Huni off guard.

In addition, Huni was too arrogant at the time, which gave him many opportunities.

If we repeat the laning phase between Fiora and Jayce, you definitely won't be able to beat them.

LGD banned Jayce in the first three picks.

Huni immediately muttered, "Damn it, I thought you dared to let Jayce go!"

Huni is holding her breath.

He was confident that once he had adjusted, he could definitely beat Zhou Dian if he picked Jayce, a top-tier champion in this patch.

However, this is the finals after all, and LGD will naturally ban Jayce when they are on the red side.

There's not much room for risk in the final.

Back to BP.

After both sides banned their first three players.

SKT locked in Lee Sin on the first floor of the blue side.

"Ah, Lee Sin was picked first!"

"Little Peanut, are you really that confident?" Miller said loudly.

“SKT just won the first game, and Peanut’s Lee Sin has an incredibly high win rate. He basically wins as soon as he picks him. How can he not be confident?” Wawa added.

"No matter what, first-picking Lee Sin in this version is still a bit too arrogant!"

Miller shook his head and said in a more emphasizing tone, "Can LGD teach this Peanut a lesson in this game?"

SKT first picked Lee Sin on the blue side.

Dgc couldn't help but frown.

He felt Peanut's "I am the meta" belief even more clearly in this hero selection than in the first game.

This game against LGD is going to be tough!

Just then, Dgc heard Eimy's voice through his headphones.

"You little brat, you're too arrogant! I'm going to beat you up this round!"

Back to BP.

then.

LGD picked Ashe and Olaf on the first and second floors of the red side.

"LGD has secured Ashe, the Frost Archer, which Bang played exceptionally well in the last game!"

"Of course, imp's Ashe is also played exceptionally well!"

"Then, LGD picked Olaf as jungle in this game!"

"I think Olaf will be the jungler!" Wawa said confidently.

“That should be it, Olaf as a jungler can counter Lee Sin!” Rita added.

“Yes!” Miller nodded. “Using Olaf against Lee Sin is a classic jungle matchup that occurred during last year’s S6 World Championship!”

"It seems Eimy is going all out in this game!"

Subsequently.

SKT selected Caitlyn and Zyra on the second and third floors of the blue team.

"Policewoman!"

"In this game, the AD players from both sides completely swapped heroes. Could this be a 'teaching you how to play' series?"

"Both teams' ADCs are world champions, and they've swapped heroes in this game. I wonder what kind of sparks will fly!" Miller said.

"But to be fair, this Bang's Caitlyn, paired with Zyra as support!" Wawa immediately remarked.
"In the previous game, imp's Caitlyn was paired with Tahm Kench, whose laning ability is not outstanding!"

"This bot lane duo of Caitlyn and Zyra is practically at the top level in terms of laning ability!"

"This direct comparison isn't fair to Imp!"

At the LGD players' bench.

When SKT's bot lane duo picked Caitlyn and Zyra, the ultimate laning combination.

Imp immediately turned to PYL and asked, "What do you say? Should we deal with them or not?"

Facing a Zyra, an ultimate lane-matching enchanter support, paired with an AD carry like Caitlyn.

If you chicken out, you won't be able to play any of the bottom lane in this game.

Faced with this situation, there is only one solution.

That is to defeat magic with magic.

"Damn it, we have to get them!" PYL's answer was quite firm.

On the LPL official commentary booth.

While the commentators were still pondering which support champion LGD should pick for this game.

LGD revealed Miss Fortune on the third floor of the red side.

Then it was immediately locked in.

"Wow, it's a female gunner!" Miller exclaimed excitedly.

"Ashe and Miss Fortune, bot lane against Caitlyn and Zyra, it's like going back to last year's World Championship semifinals!" Wawa shouted.

“Yes, this bot lane matchup was absolutely classic!” Rita chimed in.

Miss Fortune, as a support champion, first appeared on the professional stage last year, in the semifinals of the 2016 World Championship.

In the semi-final match between SKT and ROX Tigers, which was hailed as the most exciting BO5 in history.

In the second game of that BO5 series.

Trailing 0-1, ROX Tigers' support player, Gorilla, suddenly pulled out a support champion that no one in the world had ever thought of – Miss Fortune.

This Miss Fortune support pick was specifically developed by ROX Tigers to counter supports like Zyra and Malzahar, who were incredibly strong in the bot lane at the time.

Furthermore, in that game, Gorilla picked Miss Fortune and was matched up against Wolf's Zyra.

And the effect of female gunslinger support.

ROX Tigers picked Miss Fortune support in two games and won both, securing their place in the S6 semifinals BO5.

Then came the fourth and fifth games, where SKT banned Miss Fortune in both games and won them both, completing the comeback in that best-of-five semifinal series.

Ultimately, this led to SKT lifting their third Summoner's Cup.

Now, in this MSI final BO5...

They were also down 0-1.

Zyra, the support player who is also facing off against SKT.

In this game, LGD once again pulled out Miss Fortune support, just like ROX Tigers did in the past.

The commentary wasn't the only one that was exciting.

Some audience members who had witnessed the legendary best-of-five semifinal match at last year's World Championship were equally excited.

Of course, there are also many online viewers watching the game in the live stream.

Wow, Miss Fortune support versus Zyra support, what kind of SKT vs. ROX Tigers is this?!

[PYL should have picked this kind of champion to go head-to-head with SKT's bot lane a long time ago. Picking Tahm Kench in the last game and getting beaten up in the bot lane, I don't know what he was thinking!]

To be fair, after the nerfs, Miss Fortune's effectiveness as a support isn't what it was at last year's World Championship!

[Yeah, is playing Miss Fortune a bit out of sync with the current meta?]

[To hell with this meta! Did SKT's champion picks even fit the meta? Peanut's first-pick Lee Sin, is that really meta-appropriate? What's there to be afraid of? Just go for it!]

[Exactly, do you even know what "I am the meta" means?! So only SKT is the meta? We are the meta too!]

[Charge! LGD, charge!]

[LGD's jungler and bot laner have already gone head-to-head in their picks, and I'm already looking forward to the top lane picks this game. Zhou Shen is definitely going to go all out and fight to the death!]

[I'm really worried that Huni will pick Galio again and just turtle up in the top lane!]

[If he dares to pick, he will. Zhou Shen has a counter pick this game. Huni dares to pick Galio, so Zhou Shen dares to pick Vayne!]

【.】

Back to the scene.

When LGD locked in Miss Fortune as their last pick in the first round of champion selection.

The director immediately focused the camera on SKT's support player, Wolf.

It seems this director is quite knowledgeable.

Under the lens.

Wolf first raised an eyebrow.

Then a smile appeared on his chubby face.

Clearly, he was thinking about what happened at the S6 World Championship six months ago.

Then, the camera immediately focused on PYL.

PYL's expression appeared very calm.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

The first round of business matching (BP) has ended.

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

LGD banned Cassiopeia and Syndra.

SKT banned Taliyah and LeBlanc.

"Wow, both sides used all their ban slots in the second round to ban mid-lane heroes."

"Not a single top lane champion was banned!" Miller exclaimed.

Adjusting his glasses, Miller continued, "Judging from this situation, I have a feeling!"

"What premonition?" the doll immediately chimed in.

"I feel that there will be a very intense matchup in the top lane for both sides in this game!" Miller said.

"SKT didn't ban Fiora, so maybe we'll see her in this game!"

The words fell.

LGD chose Clockwerk on the fourth floor of the red side.

"Wind-up!"

"LGD picked their mid laner first, giving GodV Orianna, a champion he's very good at."

"The counter pick on the tenth floor is still reserved for Zhou Shen in the top lane!" Miller said.

"This game has no Jayce, no Kennen! LGD's last pick is very likely to be Fiora!" Wawa added.

Fiora has actually been buffed twice this year.

Although they are all minor enhancements, they add up to a pretty good total.

Moreover, both of Fiora's buffs focused on improving her laning ability.

Nowadays, Fiora still faces significant pressure when laning against ranged champions like Jayce and Kennen.

Against other standard top laners.

As long as you have the right technique, you can definitely win.

"Indeed!" Miller nodded upon hearing the doll's words.

"My feeling that I'll see Fiora in this game is getting stronger and stronger!"

The voice just fell.

SKT revealed the fox on the fourth floor of the blue team's map and then locked onto it.

"Oh, a fox!"

"It's been so long since we've seen this hero!"

"Ahri is actually one of Faker's signature champions!"

"In Faker's first World Championship, the S3 World Championship, his Ahri delivered a truly amazing performance and many memorable moments!"

"With so many mid-lane champions banned, Faker actually pulled out Ahri, a champion he hadn't used in a long time!"

After a pause, Miller continued, "SKT still has one top laner left to pick. Let's see which top laner Huni chooses this game!"

“I think it might be Galio or Shen, since Huni picked a champion first, he probably wants to play it safe!” Wawa immediately said.

However, it's clear from what the doll said that she doesn't really know Huni.

At a time like this, how could Huni possibly just obediently pick a tank hero and get beaten up!
The countdown to the selection process is ticking away second by second.

The blue team's fifth floor has yet to reveal their hero.

Finally, the countdown to the selection process reached its final second.

SKT finally revealed their last hero for this game.

"what!!!"

Miller was immediately stunned when he saw the hero on the fifth floor of the blue team.
