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

Chapter 276 If the Sword Master also loses, Huni is advised to switch to the Sword Saint in the next round!
Think again and again.

Huni decided to take the plunge.

We absolutely need to pick a champion that's good against Gnar in lane, and gain an advantage in the laning phase.

Otherwise, what's the point of his insistence on getting this counter position?
At this point, I chickened out.

Wouldn't that be letting KkOma down?
Furthermore, in this situation, you shouldn't pick heroes specifically targeting Gnar.

Instead, they choose to play it safe.

If they can hold their own in the laning phase and win this game, that would be great.

If you choose to play it safe, you might end up losing the game before you even get a chance to win.

That kind of humiliating experience.

This will make Huni never be able to hold his head up in front of Zhou Dian again.

From now on, whenever I encounter Zhou Dian in a match...

Huni might feel that he's naturally at a disadvantage compared to Zhou Dian.

Never mind, this is the hero.

I've practiced so many times, after all.

In addition, there is such a great deal of restraint.

I refuse to believe I can't beat you!

Huni turned to Wolf, the support player, and told him the hero he wanted to pick for this game.

In the commentary box.

As the countdown to the selection process ticked down second by second.

There were only a few seconds left.

The red team on the fifth floor has yet to reveal their hero.

The doll couldn't help but say, "Uh, Huni, what's the meaning of you never producing a hero?"

"Is there no hero who can beat Gnar? Really?"

His tone was full of smug, almost mocking, sarcasm.

“No way, no way. If Huni can’t even beat Gnar, how could he possibly take the counter pick?” Miller added.

"This counter pick was taken from Faker, how could Huni not have prepared something!"

Miller and Doll sat in the commentary booth, taking turns speaking.

The two of them were exchanging sarcastic remarks with great skill.

Accompanied by the sound of the two talking.

Just as the countdown to the selection was about to reach zero.

On the fifth floor of the red team, Yasuo was suddenly revealed.

Then it was locked.

A huge cheer immediately erupted from the audience.

No matter where the LOL competition is held.

As long as Yasuo appears on the field.

The local audience will definitely be unable to resist cheering.

All I can say is that Yasuo truly deserves these cheers.

There's no way around it, this hero is just too popular in casual games.

"Ah, Yasuo!"

"Huni, you've shown your strength again!" Miller shouted.

“That’s definitely another impressive play!” Rita nodded. “The last game with Fiora wasn’t good, so this time we’ll switch swords and go for Yasuo!”

"If Sword Master isn't good enough, shouldn't we switch to Sword Saint?" Wawa chuckled.

That was a rather sarcastic remark.

“Let’s be frank!” Miller pushed up his glasses and said seriously.

"Top lane Yasuo vs. Gnar, this is indeed a very classic counter matchup!"

"It just so happens that our Zhou Shen is also a master of top lane Yasuo. I remember there was a regular season match in the LPL Spring Split this year, LGD vs EDG, where Zhou Shen used top lane Yasuo and completely crushed Korol's Gnar!"

"I think it goes without saying what level Korol's Gnar is at!"

"This clearly shows that Yasuo is a strong counter to Gnar in the top lane!"

Upon hearing this, Wawa immediately said, "The main point of what you're saying doesn't seem to me to emphasize how much Yasuo can counter."

"Huh? Isn't that right? Then what is it?" Miller asked knowingly.

"You seem to be saying that Huni played Yasuo in front of our Zhou Shen and got himself into trouble again!" Wawa said with a laugh.

"No, absolutely not!" Miller shook his head repeatedly.

However, the smile on his face betrayed him.

This shows that that's exactly what he thought.

And in the official LPL live stream room.

Many online viewers also strongly agreed with what Wawa just said.

Many people sent comments in agreement.

[Last game he was wielding a sword, this game he's wielding a rope! This Huni, he really loves to run right into Zhou Shen's spear!]

[What do you know? They specifically chose heroes that Zhou Shen excels at to counter him; that's called a psychological tactic!]

[A psychological tactic? Whose heart are you trying to win over? Win over his own!]

[Guys, don't pop the champagne yet! Top lane Yasuo really does a good job against Gnar!]

【You're right, but Fiora also has a good matchup against Camille!】

Haha, I'm about to laugh!

[It's okay. If you lose this game with Yasuo, I suggest Huni switch to Juggernaut next game!]

[If we lose with Master Yi next game, it's okay, we'll just switch to Aatrox. We'll try out all the sword-wielding champions in League of Legends, I refuse to believe we can't beat this kid surnamed Zhou!]

If they lose this game and then lose the next one, won't SKT lose 1-3? What's the point of even trying to change the score?!

It's okay, let's play one more game and make it a full best-of-five!

Indeed, what's the point of calling it a best-of-five if it doesn't go to five games?

OK, you guys understand best-of-five!

【.】

Let's return to the current game.

After Yasuo was locked in, the broadcast also switched to the live feeds of both top laners.

Under the lens.

Huni pursed her lips, her expression resolute.

Upon closer inspection, beneath that resolute gaze, there's always a hint of unease.

Of course, the camera only panned across the scene briefly.

There was no time left for the audience to analyze Huni's expressions in detail.

Zhou Dian, however, maintained his calm expression.

It seems that no matter what hero the opponent picks to lane against him.

None of this caused him any psychological distress.

This is what we call confidence.

Their confidence stems from their formidable strength.

This is something you can't fake.

With both sides having completed their selections.

The game has reached the final minute of the countdown before loading.

The live stream camera was also moved from other places and focused on the center of the stage. In the center of the stage, there were two small platforms that were about waist-high.

The one in the very center of the stage has the championship trophy for this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational on it.

The trophy is placed on a separate table a little further back.

There were more than ten medals on display.

There is a champion's medal.

There was also a runner-up medal.

The two teams currently on the field.

No one wants to wait until the awards ceremony at the end of the competition.

Around his neck would hang the runner-up medal.

Both head coaches then took off their headphones.

He stepped down from the contestants' seats, walked to the center of the stage, and appeared in front of the camera.

After shaking hands, KkOma and Dgc turned and walked into the player tunnel.

Walking through the player tunnel, KkOma was actually a little worried about the upcoming third game.

This concern, of course, stems from the journey itself.

Of course he knew that top lane Yasuo was specifically designed to counter Gnar.

This matchup is far more effective than the previous game's Fiora vs. Camille.

But KkOma couldn't help feeling worried.

When I arrived at the entrance of the SKT lounge and stepped through the lounge door...

KkOma shook his head, banishing these worries from his mind.

Since you've chosen to trust Huni, don't overthink it.

We have no choice but to believe it!
After the two head coaches stepped down.

On the large screen at the venue, the game had already entered the loading screen.

Game 3 of the BO5 finals of 2017 MSI.

Blue side LGD:

Top lane Gnar, jungle Lee Sin, mid lane Orianna, bot lane Kalista and Thresh.

Red team SKT:

Top lane Yasuo, jungle Olaf, mid lane LeBlanc, bot lane Twitch and Tahm Kench.

It didn't take long.

Amid cheers from the audience.

Ten heroes from both sides landed in the fountains at either end of Summoner's Rift.

The Summoner's Rift was once again on the screen for viewers.

"The Brazilian fans at the scene were incredibly enthusiastic!" Miller exclaimed.
"To all our friends in China who are still watching this match online, please cheer up and support LGD from our LPL region!"

"This game is the crucial third match in this BO5 series. Whoever wins this game will take the lead in the final!"

"Let's cheer for LGD team again! I believe the LGD players fighting on the field right now can feel the power you're sending!"

To be able to say these things with a touch of metaphysics.

This also shows that Miller was actually very nervous about the situation in this game.

He didn't seem nearly as relaxed as he had when he teased Huni earlier.

Back to the game.

The players on both sides quickly bought their starting items, controlled their respective heroes, and left their own teams, rushing towards the outside of the high ground.

On SKT's side, they chose the most stable "long snake formation" for the start of this game.

After the five people finished their respective matches, they were at different levels.

Head towards the various passes leading into the river from your own jungle, preparing to take up positions at each pass.

As for LGD...

Zhou Dian's Gnar headed towards the upper river, while Wei Shen's Orianna moved forward along the middle lane.

Judging from the top and middle positions, it seems they are also preparing to form a "long snake formation".

However, the other three players from LGD.

Lee Sin, Kalista, and Thresh huddled together, left their own high ground, and headed forward along the bottom lane, sneaking into the bushes along the bottom lane.

Seeing this, Miller said, "Hey, LGD's jungler, support, and bottom laner are here to gank someone, aren't they?"

Then Miller shook his head, "I don't think we can possibly squat down there!"

In the previous game, LGD started with five players exploring the bushes along the bottom lane.

In this game, the top laner and mid laner did not participate; only the bot laner, jungler, and support ganked the bushes on the bot lane.

The result is obvious.

Wolf would never fall for that.

In the last game, when playing Zyra, he needed to place seeds on the bottom lane early in the game, and he wasn't caught by any of the LGD players.

Not to mention playing Tahm Kench in this game.

Tam didn't even attempt to go down the route.

Of course, LGD just casually went to the bushes on the bottom lane to ambush.

Catching the person would be a pleasant surprise.

It's normal not to find anything; there's no loss whatsoever.

After crouching in the bushes along the path for a few seconds.

Eimy then pressed the B key directly.

The Lee Sin started the recall countdown.

After returning to the spring.

Eimy quickly controlled his Lee Sin and headed straight for his own top jungle.

However, the blind monk hasn't even left his own high ground yet.

Suddenly, the top, mid, and jungle players of SKT gathered in the upper river.

They then crossed the upper river and entered LGD's blue zone.

Zhou Dian's Gnar squatted down and stood by the upper riverbank.

Although Faker's LeBlanc didn't enter his own jungle.

However, he saw Yasuo and Olaf cross the river.

He quickly maneuvered Nar back to the top lane.

Then, Nal walked back along the path to the area between the first and second towers, opposite the Swamp Frog by the wall.

Zhou Dian planned to wait for Eimy's Lee Sin to arrive before having Gnar and Lee Sin reunite.

If he goes into the jungle alone at this time, it will be bad if he runs into the enemy top and jungle.

the other side.

After SKT's top, mid, and jungle players entered LGD's blue buff area.

Yasuo and Olaf headed straight for the blue team's top lane tri-bush.

Faker's LeBlanc walked to LGD's blue buff camp, then turned around and left LGD's blue buff area, returning to the upper river.

Clearly, the three SKT players were there to catch Zhou Dian and Eimy.

However, neither Gnar nor Lee Sin were in the jungle at this time.

After diving into the tri-bush, Peanut controlled Olaf to follow LeBlanc's footsteps and leave LGD's blue buff area.

Huni, meanwhile, controlled Yasuo all the way down, and even planned to take a stroll deep into LGD's blue buff area.

Yasuo had just walked past the blue buff camp and was right in the middle of LGD's blue buff area when he bumped into Gnar, who had just re-entered his own blue buff area.
