Chapter 319 Peerless Spider Fusion
"Congratulations to LGD for winning the first game and taking the lead in the BO3."

After a pause, he remembered to continue, "So, Mr. Park, who do you think will get the MVP award for this game?"

PDD replied, "I think it will still go to Zhou Shen. In that 2v5 Baron fight, although PYL's Rakan's initiation was also very good, the key was the ward that Kennen left in DAN's jungle. DAN didn't notice that TP flank at all."

"As for DAN, it's a bit of a pity for Ggoong. He played Taliyah very well this game, but he was limited by the team composition. There wasn't much he could do later."

At this moment, the MVP of the match was displayed on the big screen.

A confident and composed face appeared on the big screen.

"As expected, the MVP was awarded to Zhou Shen's Kennen with a 7-1-5 score and 36% damage share, making him the well-deserved MVP of this game," Remember said.

"Alright, everyone, take a short break, and we'll bring you the second game of the match between the two teams shortly."

Backstage area of ​​the venue, LGD's lounge.

Although they won the first game against DAN, the atmosphere in the lounge seemed a bit somber.

Dgc, with a dark expression, was reviewing the game he had just played.

Wei Shen tilted his head slightly.

Because Dgc basically talked about Wei Shen's problems throughout the entire game.

LeBlanc returned to base at level 4 without using Teleport, resulting in Rek'Sai starting with two Rift Scuttlers, putting LGD on the back foot in the early game.

LeBlanc was tower-dived while farming in the bot lane, and then failed to keep up with Taliyah, resulting in Varus being killed in the top lane and falling under the top tower.

Later, he wandered through the jungle without scanning, and was killed by Taliyah first, resulting in the loss of the Infernal Dragon.

After reviewing the game, Dgc said to Wei Shen, "Actually, all five of you on the field, except for Xiao Zhou, made mistakes to some extent, but do you know why I only mentioned you?"

Wei Shen pursed his lips and remained silent.

He knew he had made a big mistake, but he felt that admitting his mistake would be a loss of face.

"Because you made mistakes that you shouldn't have made, and you made them one after another. It's a matter of attitude. Did you get cocky after winning the MSI championship?" Dgc continued.

"You're the mid laner, the core of the team, don't keep giving them opportunities."

"The MSI championship is not the end. If our team wants to go further, we need you, the mid laner, to step up your game!"

Hearing that the head coach had given him a way out, Wei Shen readily accepted.

"It was my mistake, Coach. I will be more careful in future matches!"

Dgc understands that a gentle tap is enough.

They didn't continue the topic.

"Alright, everyone, welcome back to the LPL Summer Split regular season match."

"What we're about to bring you is the second game of the regular season BO3 between LGD and DAN!"

"LGD won the first game and currently leads DAN 1-0 in the overall score!"

"Just received news that DAN has adjusted their top lane position, replacing Moyu with Lies."

"What does Teacher Park think of DAN's substitution?" Ji De asked.

Upon hearing this, PDD said, "Moyu's laning phase in the last game was indeed too passive. Replacing White Crescent with Lies might be an attempt to strengthen the top lane laning phase."

After a pause, PDD chuckled and continued, "However, I don't think this substitution is necessary. One top laner is enough to bear the pressure from Zhou Shen in one match. Why bring someone else in to be tormented by Zhou Shen?"

"Alright, both teams are in position!" Remember shouted. "LGD has chosen the red side this game, it seems they want to end this BO3 directly!"

At this moment, the BP interface appeared on the large screen at the scene.

Blue side: DAN; Red side: LGD.

First round of BP.

DAN banned Kennen, Rakan, and Kog'Maw.

LGD banned Zac, Galio, and Shen.

Immediately afterwards, DAN snatched the policewoman directly from the first floor of the blue team's building.

"Policewoman!"

"DAN wants to play a fast push strategy? LGD plays this strategy well too. Are you going to try a fast push against LGD?"

Then, LGD picked Spider and Jhin on the first and second floors of the red side.

"Oh wow, Spider, they're going to go all out on early game tempo!"

"DAN picked Thresh on the second floor, that's a must-pick, the strongest laning duo in this patch. And the third floor? Gragas again!" Remember continued.

DAN secured Thresh and Gragas on the second and third floors of the blue side.

LGD picked Tahm Kench on the third floor of the red side to counter Gragas and Thresh's engage.

The first round of ban/pick has ended, and we've moved on to the second round.

LGD banned Kha'Zix and Orianna.

DAN banned Camille and Renekton.

"DAN banned two top laners again in the second round!" PDD said. "But have you noticed something?"

"What?" I didn't react at first.

"Zhou Shen's Fiora has been released!"

"I don't think Zhou Shen will necessarily pick her!" Remember shook his head. "Fiora has been nerfed again this patch, and I feel like White Crescent deliberately let Fiora through!"

In the second round of ban/pick, the red side chooses first.

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

"Wei Shen has picked Taliyah!"

"Ggoong's Taliyah performance in the last game was outstanding, but GodV's Taliyah is also one of his best mid-lane champions!" Remember said.

Then, DAN chose Jayce and Rumble on the fourth and fifth floors of the blue team.

"It should be Jayce mid and Rumble top, so let's see what Zhou Shen picks to counter Rumble this game!"

"Oh, without any hesitation, I locked in Fiora!"

"I don't need to say anything more about Zhou Shen's Fiora, do I?"

When LGD picked Fiora as their last pick on the red side, cheers immediately erupted from the audience.

The draft phase for the second game is now complete.

Both sides have very clear ideas.

DAN's team needs to protect Caitlyn and push towers; their overall lineup is also strong in 5v5.

LGD relies on Fiora's split-pushing ability, Taliyah can support the split-pushing lane, imp's Jhin can provide ranged support skills, and Tahm Kench is there to prevent the enemy from engaging.

Dgc and White Crescent stepped down from the players' seats and came to the center of the stage to shake hands and greet each other. The competition was about to begin.

Amid cheers from the audience, ten heroes from both sides landed in the fountains at opposite ends of Summoner's Rift.

Blue team DAN: Top lane Rumble, Jungle Gragas, Mid lane Jayce, Bot lane Caitlyn and Thresh.

LGD (Red Side): Top lane Fiora, Jungle Elise, Mid lane Taliyah, Bot lane Jhin and Tahm Kench. Upon entering the game, both teams quickly purchased their items and headed towards the river from their base.

They lined up along the river on both sides, each guarding its own territory.

DAN's jungler in this game didn't receive the same royal treatment as in the previous game, since he was playing Gragas.

Both the Barrel and the Spider are opened in the bottom half of the map.

Meanwhile, in the top lane, the newly substituted top laner Lies was prepared to be pressured by Fiora across the minion wave at level one, so Rumble learned Cyber ​​Harpoon (E) at level one, intending to get as many kills as possible.

But he didn't expect that Zhou Dian's Fiora wouldn't be dominant at level one!

This made him somewhat puzzled.

Is this still Zhou Shen? He doesn't suppress people when he can?
Both top laners peacefully farmed until level two.

Having just reached level two, Fiora used her Q ability to stab Rumble.

I poked at nothing; I didn't poke anything.

"Wow, Zhou Shen missed his first Q. Maybe he hasn't played Fiora in a while and his skills are rusty!" PDD said, slightly surprised.

After Fiora misses her Q, which has a 13-second cooldown, Lies naturally won't let this opportunity pass.

The front of Rambo's Galaxy Mech skin unleashes a fierce burst of Yordle Phoenix flames.

Fiora turned around and pulled away, while Rumble chased after her, maximizing the 3-second duration of his Fire Feast (Q).

"Fiora retreated into the minion wave, which resulted in her being blocked by the minions. Now she's been roasted like a pig, what a loss. Why is Zhou Shen suddenly having a problem?" PDD said immediately upon seeing this.

But is it really a loss?
The director did not focus the camera on Zhou Dian at this moment.

So the commentators didn't notice that Zhou Dian's lips curled into a smile.

Fiora did lose some health.

But Zhou Dian deliberately missed that Q from Fiora.

When Fiora was blocked by minions while pulling away, it was Zhou Dian who deliberately controlled Fiora to dive into the minion wave.

After Rumble and Fiora burned the minions to a crisp, Rumble finished them off.

The blue team's minion wave began to push uncontrollably towards Fiora.

Eimy's Spider pick in this game is another champion that rarely seen in junglers these days, a fast-level-3 strategy.

Game time is 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

The spider, having removed the blue buff, the swamp frog, and the red buff, reached level three.

At 2 minutes and 46 seconds, the spider arrived in the river bush next to the top lane.

At this point, Rumble's position is closer to LGD's outer top lane turret.

A level 2 Rumble was outmaneuvered by a level 3 Spider with a red buff; the outcome was predictable.

The moment Lies saw the spider, he knew that he had to give up his life to the spider today.

But the Spider didn't take the kill, instead giving it to Fiora.

Zhou Dian gladly accepted the four pieces of gold.

The live stream chat room for the official event immediately became lively with comments.

Holy crap, guys, they have a dog!

[It's only been less than 3 minutes, and the Peerless Spiders have already combined?]

If your top laner were Zhou Shen, would you gank for him at level three?

[Level 3 is required? I'd rather start at level 2 and help Zhou Shen catch him!]

[That's it? I wish Zhou Shen would kill me and take an extra 300 yuan!]

Wow, you guys are really good at licking!

【.】

In the commentary box.

Seeing this, PDD immediately said, "Lies still lacks match experience. With the enemy jungler being Elise, you really can't push too hard in the early game!"

Remember also chimed in, "The main problem is that Rumble really didn't anticipate this move. It's very risky for junglers to play like this now. If they don't catch anyone, it's easy for them to lose their entire jungle."

"Aside from spicy hot pot, I feel like very few junglers would do this kind of starvation play where they drag the enemy to their doom."

After Rambo respawned, he didn't use teleport to get back online, but instead chose to walk up.

Even after giving up first blood, Lies remained quite cautious.

On DAN's side, after the jungler Gragas finished clearing the blue buff, he glanced at the river and saw that the top scuttle crab had already been taken down by Elise.

So the barrel went back to farm the Marsh Frog.

Since DAN's bot lane is a strong combination and they have lane priority, Cat's Thresh went to scout the river.

The river crabs are still there.

Therefore, the barrel deduced that after Spider finished off the top river crab, he should have gone back to farm the stone beetles and F6, instead of immediately returning home to replenish his equipment and then going to contest the bottom river crab.

Gragas gave up on the idea of ​​countering Spider's F6 camp. B went back to base, upgraded his jungle item, bought a control ward, and headed straight for the bottom half of the jungle.

But is the spider's movement really as DAN's jungler Karin thought?
After Eimy finished farming the river crabs with his spiders, he did indeed go farm the stone beetles.

But after defeating the stone beetle, the spider didn't go to farm its own F6 camp, nor did it return to town.

The spider stepped on the exploding fruit behind its own red buff and fell into the dragon pit.

When the barrel returned to the fountain, the spider had just entered DAN's top jungle area and arrived at the triangular bush next to the blue team's top tower.

Rambo's eye, hidden in the river grass, naturally didn't notice a spider creeping up behind him.

Watching the spider's hide-and-seek-like movements, PDD unconsciously softened his commentary.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with this spider! It's so bizarre! If Lies sees the spider come out from behind again, he might not be able to keep his composure!"

Following PDD's words, the red team's minion wave was pushed to the Rumble tower by Fiora.

Then, the spider brazenly emerged from the grass.

Karin's Gragas had just reached his own Krugs when he saw Rumble frantically pinging SOS signals on the minimap.

Karin felt a little dizzy.

But Lies, standing all alone under the top lane tower, looked even more dizzy.

The spider lashed out with a cocoon at a very tricky angle, forcing Rumble to use Flash.

If the cocoon fails, no problem, Fiora and Elise will just force their way in.

The two took turns tanking the tower. When the spider was down to a sliver of health, it immediately flew up and shifted the tower's aggro.

Then Fiora killed Rumble and flashed out of the tower with a sliver of health.

LGD's top and jungle coordinated perfectly, taking down a full-health Rumble.
