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

Chapter 308 LGD's reputation is not to be trifled with!

Kabe has figured it out by now.

What level of player is Zhou Shen?

What level of player am I?

There's nothing shameful about not being able to beat Zhou Shen.

There's absolutely no need to panic.

When the sky falls, there are always "tall people" to hold it up.

Anyway, it was Doinb who made the bold statement before the match, saying "MSI champions can beat me easily."

It's not me, Kabe.
If we lose the game, we'll get criticized.

The one absorbing the firepower is, of course, Doinb, the "tall guy"!

What are you afraid of?

Thinking of this, Kabe's initial tension had subsided considerably.

He felt he should just play normally in this game.

As for how the match will turn out.

It's none of his business anymore!
However, they approached the competition with the same mindset as clocking in for work.

It usually doesn't end well.

Even if you're a mediocre player.

A considerable portion of them are also included.

When playing a match, you try every possible way to win.

Limited by his personal skills, he chose the path of playing a support role to protect his teammates.

If you're only thinking about clocking in and out when you're playing a game.

If you are completely indifferent to winning or losing the game.

That's worse than some of the mediocre players.

Play the game with this mindset.

Then there's Zhou Dian, who's particularly ruthless towards players who aren't strong enough.

The result was predictable.

Kabe's Renekton was solo killed in lane by Zhou Dian's Jarvan IV.

Zhou Dian originally just wanted to farm and develop with the crocodile during the laning phase.

After all, the prince needs to beat the crocodile in lane.

Besides considering one's own skill level.

It also depends on the opponent's skill level.

See if the opponent gives us a chance.

In any case, as time goes on, the prince will become more and more important than the crocodile.

Zhou Dian wasn't in a hurry at all.

Because LGD drafted a very good lineup in this game.

Aside from Zhou Dian playing Jarvan IV in the top lane, this was the first time he had used it in a match.

The other four teammates all chose heroes that they were very good at in this game.

In this case, even if it's because of a period of no formal training.

Version understanding and teamwork are somewhat lacking.

However, in terms of laning, Zhou Dian doesn't think JDG will have an advantage in this game.

With several LGD players having acquired their signature heroes.

If JDG can gain an advantage in the laning phase.

The predecessor of the original JDG roster was the QG team.

They wouldn't have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs in the first half of the spring season.

to be honest.

I don't have the ability, fine!

Therefore, Zhou Dian will not rush to gain an advantage during the laning phase.

This hero hasn't reached his power spike yet.

There's no need to force a game if your teammates aren't at a disadvantage.

However, what Zhou Dian didn't expect was...

The enemy top laner, Renekton, has quite a few weaknesses during the laning phase.

It's far from being a top-tier crocodile.

So many flaws. The opportunity was presented to them.

If you still don't accept it.

That wouldn't be Zhou Dian's style of play.

He's not the kind of top laner who won't take the opportunity and just mindlessly waits for his teammates to give instructions.

After several rounds of personnel changes.

It was determined that JDG's jungler was not nearby.

Zhou Dian went straight in.

Then he directly solo-killed online.

"Uh, that solo kill felt a bit too natural!" Guan Zeyuan said. "It felt like he killed him so casually, without any effort at all!"

"This kind of solo kill is actually a manifestation of strong laning fundamentals and damage calculation ability!"

Pushing up his glasses, Long Hair continued, "You gain a little something with every exchange of blows, and before you know it, you'll naturally end up solo killing the opponent!"

"On another note!" Guan Zeyuan chimed in, "The crocodile got solo-killed by the prince in lane, it feels like JDG is in deep trouble again!"

This is the conclusion Guan Zeyuan reached this time.

There was no reversal, no contradiction.

Zhou Dian's top lane Jarvan IV, with its laning advantage, impressed many viewers who were still unfamiliar with the Summer Split patch.

It demonstrates why top lane Jarvan IV is currently a Tier 1 top laner.

This version of Jarvan IV in the top lane is a semi-tank build, starting with Black Cleaver and Titanic Hydra before transitioning to tank items.

Both Black Cleaver and Titanic Hydra can provide a significant amount of health.

This results in a prince who is supposed to be semi-tanky, but is actually quite tanky.

However, if a prince with an advantage consistently maintains a higher rank...

Even when it hits a squishy enemy carry, it still deals a high burst of damage.

Target the enemy's semi-tanky warrior heroes or tank heroes.

Thanks to the armor penetration from Jarvan IV's Q skill, combined with the armor penetration from Black Cleaver, he can be completely damaged.

And then there's the prince's strong ability to take the initiative.

So, Zhou Dian's top lane Jarvan IV has become a monster with high damage, high tankiness, strong initiation ability, and strong team fight ability.

This "monster" is completely beyond JDG's ability to handle.

In the previous game, Zhou Dian's Jayce was incredibly fed in the early game.

With its overwhelming damage output, it pushes the pace of the game by constantly poking.

In this game, Zhou Dian's hand was only relatively strong, but far from being considered an extremely strong prince.

It easily sets the pace of the game.

This is naturally thanks to the Prince's skill set.

When they have the advantage, they can practically wipe out everything in their path.

Pay attention to your teammates' positions. As long as they can keep up, just spam EQR.

She was targeted by a prince.

If you have Flash available, use Flash.

If you don't have Flash, you're doomed.

It emphasizes simplicity, directness, and a high tolerance for error.

In this game, all the other LGD players played their signature heroes and gained a slight advantage in the laning phase.

The prince's participation quickly amplified the existing small advantages on each lane. After several small-scale team fights, Zhou Dian turned these small advantages into a major one.

In this game, LGD's pace was pushed even faster than in the previous game.

JDG, on the other hand, quickly found themselves in a situation from which they could not turn the tide.

Anyone with eyesight can see it.

It's only a matter of time before JDG loses this game.

There's basically no chance of a comeback.

However, in this game, LGD's heroes all had relatively short range, making them less effective at taking down towers.

When JDG chose to turt under the second tower and retreat to the high ground.

It's really not easy to push LGD.

To advance, we need the support of the Baron buff.

Therefore, this game lasted much longer than the previous one.

It lasted thirty-two minutes, during which two dragons were taken down.

LGD ultimately defeated JDG.

On the large screen at the scene.

With the blue team JDG's base crystal shattered.

Guan Zeyuan shouted loudly: "Then let's congratulate LGD for winning the next two games after losing the first one in this opening match of the Summer Split against JDG, completing a reverse sweep!"

"Congratulations to LGD for winning the opening match of the 2017 LPL Summer Split!"

"Yes, congratulations LGD!" Changmao added.

The large number of LGD fans present also stirred up quite a commotion at this moment.

The camera pans to the players' seats.

The LGD players calmly took off their headphones and stood up from their seats.

Then, led by captain PYL, they calmly walked towards the opposing JDG players' bench.

As is customary, the two teams shook hands after the game.

In fact, most of the JDG players looked quite calm.

Because apart from Doinb, the other JDG players didn't have high expectations of defeating LGD before the match.

They also knew that in terms of pure skill, there was a significant gap between their team and LGD.

With low expectations, disappointment is naturally less likely.

Only Doinb, who made some tough remarks before the match.

At this moment, he looked utterly disappointed and regretful.

They seemed to still regret that their team had lost a good opportunity today and failed to win this highly anticipated opening match of the LPL Summer Split.

But actually, Doinb wasn't disappointed at all.

The traffic is already in our hands, so what's there to be disappointed about!
The apparent disappointment and regret were entirely feigned.

Doinb's performative personality is no joke.

You can get into character anytime.

The handshake is complete.

The five members of LGD walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience below.

The audience erupted in an even louder uproar than before.

He bowed.

The LGD players returned to their respective seats in the player's area.

After tidying up their respective peripherals.

The group filed into the contestants' tunnel.

As the contestants left the main stage.

The on-site director quickly switched the live broadcast back to the commentary booth.

As soon as the camera turned back, Long Hair said:
"All I can say is that the MSI champion truly deserves to be the MSI champion!"

"In the first game of the BO3, it was obvious that LGD's overall performance was quite poor, or even rather bad!"

"However, as the newly crowned MSI champions, LGD's adjustment speed is extremely fast."

"In the next two games, my performance improved with each game, and I finally managed to come back from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1!"

"Yes!" Guan Zeyuan nodded. "The difference in strength between the two teams is still quite noticeable!"

"When Zhou Shen puts his strength into play, JDG is finding it hard to withstand him!"

"The second game of this match was basically a one-man show by Zhou Shen!"

"If Zhou Shen hadn't held on in the second game and leveled the score, LGD wouldn't have had such an outstanding performance in the third game!"

"I can only say that the FMVP truly deserves the title of FMVP. Even though the holiday had just ended and his teammates weren't in top form, Zhou Shen was still at his peak!"

Changmao and Guan Zeyuan.

One person flattered the entire LGD team.

One person took the opportunity to flatter Zhou Dian.

LGD and Zhou Dian are currently enjoying good results and high popularity.

A few words of praise can attract a lot of traffic and fans.

It's just a matter of the upper lip touching the lower lip, a few casual words of flattery.

why not!

At this moment, on the large screen at the scene...

Let's start replaying the highlights of the third game.

After the replay is complete.

The post-match results panel for the third game is shown.

Zhou Dian's semi-tank Prince dealt the highest damage in the entire game.

Seeing this, Guan Zeyuan laughed and said, "Zhou Shenzhen is really the King of Injury!"

"You can deal this much damage even playing top lane Jarvan IV!"

As he spoke, Guan Zeyuan turned to look at Changmao: "Brother Mao, I don't think there's any suspense about who will be the MVP in this round."

“That’s for sure!” Longhair said.

At this moment, the MVP of the third game was announced on the big screen – Prince of Demacia.

As Guan Zeyuan said.

Without a doubt, Zhou Dian will be the MVP.

"As expected, the MVP of the third game was awarded to Zhou Shen's Prince!"

After a pause, Guan Zeyuan continued, "In that case, Zhou Shen won two MVPs right from the start in today's opening game of the Summer Split regular season!"

"I have a feeling that the MVP of the entire Summer Split regular season is about to be decided!"

"Well, the summer season regular season has just begun, there's still a long time to go, so there's plenty of time to say!" Long Hair chuckled, brushing the topic aside.

He felt that Guan Zeyuan was going a bit too far in his flattery.

How can you say the regular season MVP is a foregone conclusion after just one game?
At that moment, the director's notification came through the commentator's headset.

Longhair immediately said, "Okay, our post-match interview segment is ready!"

"Now, let's turn the camera to the interview area!"

The camera turned.

on the main stage.

Standing there is Luo Xin, the host of today's opening match.

Zhou Dian and PYL were also invited to participate in the post-match interview.

"Okay, welcome Ping and Zhou Shen to our post-match interview. Please say hello to everyone first!"

After Zhou Dian and PYL finished greeting each other, Luo Xin said, "First of all, congratulations to LGD for winning today's opening match of the Summer Split, which is a great start for the Summer Split."

"So, I'd like to ask Team Ping, having just won the opening match, what are your thoughts at this moment?"

Upon hearing this, PYL picked up the microphone, brought it to his mouth, and said, "I don't really have any special thoughts, but I just want to advise some people that LGD's reputation is not something to be trifled with!"
