Chapter 315 White Crescent: Dgc, you shameless bastard!

After shaking hands, the two head coaches immediately put their arms around each other and walked into the player tunnel.

"You've really made something of yourself these days!" White Crescent spoke first. "In less than half a year, you went from being unable to find a job to becoming an LPL champion coach and an MSI champion coach!"

These two have been acquaintances and friends for many years.

At the beginning of this year, after Dgc took over LGD, he was in a hurry to find a top laner.

It was White Crescent who gave Dgc the idea to contact Zhou Dian.

This led to a series of changes at LGD.

Upon hearing the praise from his old friend, Dgc immediately adopted a humble attitude.

"No, no, it's all just good luck!" Dgc said. "If you hadn't asked me to bring Zhou Shen to the LGD team, LGD wouldn't be where we are today!"

Then, Dgc added, "You're doing pretty well now, aren't you? You've successfully led your team to the LPL, and you're currently ranking near the top in Group A!"

Upon hearing this, White Crescent shook her head: "It's difficult! I know my own team's situation better than anyone!"

"To put it bluntly, our DAN team's raw strength is actually limited. Many LPL teams are stronger than our team in terms of raw strength!"

"We had just been promoted to the LPL, and other teams hadn't specifically studied us, which allowed us to take several points!"

"Once other teams started studying us, it became difficult to score points!"

The white crescent moon at that moment certainly hadn't expected this.

Although he had anticipated that it would be much more difficult for DAN to win in the subsequent regular season matches than before.

But he never expected that it would all start with today's match against LGD.

DAN suffered an eleven-game losing streak.

They kept losing until the end of the summer season regular season, and never won a single BO3 regular season match.

Let's return to the players' tunnel at this moment.

After listening to what White Crescent had to say, Dgc nodded repeatedly.

White Crescent had nothing to hide from his old friend, and his words were quite frank.

"That's right, I've already done a thorough analysis of your team this week!" Dgc chuckled.

"Damn, your team is the MSI champion, and you're specifically targeting and studying a newly promoted team like us? Don't be so shameless!" White Crescent laughed and slapped Dgc on the shoulder.

"Damn it, that hurts a bit! You're really rough!"

The two head coaches were "pulling" at each other in the players' tunnel.

On the large screen at the venue, the Summoner's Rift was already displayed, followed by the observer interface.

The ten heroes from both sides landed in the fountains at opposite ends of Summoner's Rift.

After both heroes bought their starting gear, they left the fountain and headed towards the river.

The cheers from the audience for their team gradually subsided.

The first game of the regular season match between LGD and the dark horse DAN team has officially begun.

"Okay, let's take a look at the keystone runes for both sides. Zhou's Kennen is taking [Deathfire Touch] this game, so he's going to play AP Kennen. But AP Kennen is at risk of getting blown up by Gragas when he enters the fray!" Remember said.

"Yes! Gragas' ultimate is quite effective against AP Kennen, making it difficult for him to engage!" PDD nodded, then continued:

“No wonder LGD banned Jarvan IV, that champion is a great counter to AP Kennen.” Remember continued, “Is it possible that DAN saw you ban Jarvan IV and thought you might play AP Kennen, so they sent Gragas to the top lane? After all, Gragas can significantly limit Kennen in team fights.”

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. In any case, this game involved a lot of strategic maneuvering from the draft phase, which really tests the coach's skill level," PDD added.

On the large screen at the venue, the heroes from both teams were already lined up along the river.

Both sides adopted a defensive stance at the start, and neither chose to invade the other's jungle at the beginning.

At 1 minute and 10 seconds into the game, Eimy's Kha'Zix placed a defensive ward at the narrow passage leading to the upper river between his own red buff and the F6 camp.

The excavator that was originally staying in the upper river has returned to its own jungle area.

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, the buff monsters spawn.

On LGD's side, Eimy's Kha'Zix was a normal jungler, with the bot lane helping to take the blue buff.

On DAN's side, the excavator had a god-like start, with Taliyah helping him open the F6 camp, while the bot lane duo helped him take the red buff.

Using the area damage of Queen's Wrath (Q), quickly clear out the five birds in F6, upgrade the excavator to level 2, and at this time the red buff still has 600 health left.

Don't attack the big bird yet. First, come over and take out the red buff, then turn around and eat the big bird.

Therefore, when both players clear four jungle camps before heading to the river, the Excavator is one step faster than the Kha'Zix.

When the mantis arrived at the upper reaches of the river, the excavator had already killed most of the river crabs.

Eimy had no choice but to place a ward for the mid laner and then go back to fight his own Krugs.

Even when playing Kha'Zix, Eimy didn't dare to engage in a direct fight with the enemy jungler in the jungle.

Because the excavator was recently revamped, its early-game damage is just too explosive.

With the keystone talent "Fervor of Battle" and a red buff, you can kill someone in one combo at level three.

Once you reach level six and have your ultimate ability, you can instantly kill squishy targets with a single combo, and the damage might even be excessive.

After the excavator finished off the river crab, it also placed a ward for the Taliyah in the mid lane.

At this point, the top lane minion wave was closer to the blue side, and Zhou Dian's Kennen was putting pressure on Gragas.

After all, it's a case of long range versus short range. In less than three and a half minutes of the game, Zhou Dian had already out-farmed the enemy Gragas by almost ten CS.

Zhou Dian wasn't too afraid of the excavator at this moment, since his own mantis was nearby hunting stone beetles.

After Zhou Dian used his Q on the Gragas across the minion wave, he switched screens to check the jungle and found that Kha'Zix was counting down to recall.

"Brother Dan, don't rush off, crouch for a few seconds," Zhou Dian called out to Eimy.

"No need to wait, I think the excavator should have gone home by now. I need to hurry back to the lower half of the map, or the excavator will have taken all the jungle monsters at home."

After saying that, the 8-second recall countdown ended, and the Kha'Zix had already reached the fountain.

Should we go home? What if we don't? Zhou Dian was a little helpless.

However, every jungle camp in the early game is very important, especially for junglers like Kha'Zix who need to farm aggressively; you really can't afford to lose out.

Zhou Dian didn't insist on keeping Eimy in the top lane to help him counter-gank.

At this point, the excavator is no longer visible on the map.

After the excavator finishes defeating the river crab, it will definitely go to farm the swamp frog. But after defeating the swamp frog, does the excavator immediately return to town?
