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

Chapter 324 Kid, your laning phase is too formulaic!

"Dear viewers, welcome back to the first Asian Games. I am your commentator, Guan Zeyuan."

"I'm the commentator, Xiaosan!"

For the first three BO1 group stage matches today, the LPL official commentators were Guan Zeyuan and Liang Xiaosan.

Liang Xiaosan's ID during his professional gaming career was 【San】.

He was the main ADC for the OMG team during their two best years in S3 and S4, and his nicknames were Umbrella King and Umbrella Big Boss.

Compared to the Umbrella King's less-than-stellar career.

His nickname, "Big Umbrella," is probably more widely known.

The highlight of Umbrella King's career was undoubtedly the S4 Paris All-Star event, where his Twitch solo killed Faker's Orianna.

At that time, the All-Star event was an official competition organized by Riot Games and took place mid-season.

That is the predecessor of the current MSI Mid-Season Invitational.

Later, in early 15, Uzi went to OMG.

Liang Xiaosan was relegated to the bench and never had another chance to play.

In order to have matches to play, he switched positions to play support.

After that, his performance as a support player wasn't very good, so he chose to retire.

After retiring, Umbrella King became a commentator.

"What are your thoughts on the upcoming LGD vs. Flash Wolves match?" Guan Zeyuan asked.

Upon hearing this, Umbrella King immediately replied, "I have a lot of confidence in LGD. I think this point is a sure thing!"

"Actually, I also think it's very safe, but I'm not too sure!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.

"Our ace team is out, it's time to score!" Umbrella King said with a hint of seriousness.

"Our LPL region's performance these past two days hasn't actually been very good!"

"We desperately need a victory to boost our confidence!"

At this moment, the big screen displayed a data comparison between the players of LGD and Flash Wolves in their respective leagues.

Looking at this data alone, the two players are actually evenly matched.

Flash Wolves are currently the dominant force in the LMS region, possessing immense power.

Therefore, their players' league statistics must also be quite good.

After discussing the data for a while, Guan Zeyuan changed the subject at the right time.

"I know that as a former professional player, Umbrella King, you are friends with many current veteran players in the scene. I wonder if Umbrella King has any information about this match that we don't know?" Guan Zeyuan asked in a casual tone.

"Well, I don't have any exclusive news," Umbrella King hesitated. "Oh, right, there is something I can talk about!"

"What?" Guan Zeyuan was also a little curious.

PYL told me this morning that Zhou Shen went out for beef noodles last night.

As soon as the Umbrella King said this.

The chat in the official live stream room, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly surged.

Holy crap, they actually dared to eat this? No wonder it's Zhou Shen!

[666, eating beef noodles before the game is one thing, but having to eat the most toxic Taiwanese brand noodles is another!]

[Here's @Namei!]

[Why are you still trying to attack her? Na B was beautiful and has already retired, yet she's being dragged out and humiliated!]

【.】

Even Guan Zeyuan, who was standing next to the Umbrella King, was speechless.

"No way, is Zhou Shen really that brave?!"

"Alright, enough joking around, let's stop teasing Zhou Shen and get back to the match. The draft phase is about to begin!"

"In this match, LGD, who had the right to choose sides, deliberately chose the blue side!"

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

Blue side LGD, red side Flash Wolves.

The competition version is 7.12.

First round of BP.

LGD banned Rumble, Syndra, and Zac.

Flash Wolves banned Kog'Maw, Caitlyn, and Jayce.

Subsequently, LGD secured the Spider on the first floor of the blue team's base.

“Banning Zac and picking Elise is a fairly standard draft pick in the current version,” Guan Zeyuan said.

Flash Wolves opted for Excavator on the first floor of the red team to counter Spider.

Then they took down Varus on the second floor of the red team.

It's LGD's turn to select players.

LGD locked in the Xayah and Rakan combo on the second and third floors of the blue side.

"Wow, LGD's bot lane is going to be the Phoenix Legend duo right from the start! I'm kind of looking forward to it," Guan Zeyuan exclaimed.

At that time, Xayah and Rakan were newly released champions, and many people in the Chinese server called them the Phoenix Legend duo.

Subsequently.

Flash Wolves chose Crocodile on the third floor of the red team.

This is a top lane hero that is more suitable to be picked first.

"Mimi Egg seems a bit timid facing Zhou Shen; she didn't dare to take the last counter-pick for the red team!"

"Instead, they chose to go top lane first, picking Renekton, a very strong and versatile champion in lane!" said Umbrella King.

"How could Mimi Egg not be scared? She almost got crushed by Zhou Shen during MSI!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smug laugh.

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

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

Flash Wolves banned Fiora and Kennen.

LGD banned Karma and Thresh.

Both sides banned some of the current meta heroes or the opponent's signature heroes, targeting positions that the opponent had not yet selected.

This brings us to the point where the players' hero pool will be put to the test.

To be honest, when I saw that my opponent picked the crocodile first...

Zhou Dian felt that his "Quinn" was already stirring.

Quinn is the ultimate counter to Renekton.

Moreover, Flash Wolves did not ban Quinn in the second round.

This is quite normal, as Quinn is a champion with a very low margin for error, and very few teams would pick her.

Zhou Dian had just muttered "Quinn" when Dgc quickly said, "Quinn can't be picked in this match. Picking her will make the lineup too weak, and..."

Dgc didn't finish his sentence, but Zhou Dian understood what he meant.

Quinn absolutely needs to bring Cleanse when facing the Ueno combination of Crocodile and Excavator.

Bringing Cleanse means you can't bring Teleport. While Quinn is fast at traversing lanes, it's still far less direct than Teleport.

"Uh, I wasn't planning on choosing Quinn!" Zhou Dian chuckled.

Back to BP.

In the second round, the red team chooses first.

Flash Wolves picked Zyra on the fourth floor of the red team.

"Wow, Zyra? Swordart picked a support champion that's really strong in lane this game!"

"It's LGD's turn to pick. What will the fourth pick be? Prince, lock it in!"

"Zhou Shen has picked Jarvan IV top lane this game!"

After the prince was chosen.

LGD then chose the airplane on the fifth floor of the blue team.

"Mid-lane Corki, he's one of the strongest mid-lane heroes in the late game right now," Guan Zeyuan said.

“Yes!” Umbrella King nodded. “In that case, LGD’s lineup is quite solid, with heroes supporting them in the early, mid, and late game.”

"Flash Wolves' last move was to use Clockwerk as a counter, which is fine."

"The five positions for both sides have been selected. The group stage match between LGD and Flash Wolves in the first Asian Games is about to begin!"

After the draft phase, both head coaches stepped down from the players' bench and came to the center of the stage.

After shaking hands, Dgc and Flash Wolves head coach Steak turned and walked into the player tunnel.

On the large screen at the venue, the game had reached the loading screen.

Blue side LGD:

Top lane: Jarvan IV; Jungle: Elise; Mid lane: Corki; Bot lane: Xayah and Rakan.

Red Team Flash Wolves:

Top lane: Renekton; Jungle: Rek'Sai; Mid lane: Orianna; Bot lane: Varus and Zyra.

As the scene from Summoner's Rift appeared on the big screen...

A huge cheer for the Flash Wolves erupted from the crowd.

The occasional cheers for LGD were completely suppressed.

There's nothing we can do; this is, after all, the Bay Area, the home ground of the Flash Wolves.

The vast majority of the audience members supported Flash Wolves.

The OB interface appears.

Both players quickly bought their starting items and controlled their respective heroes to rush out of the fountain.

On LGD's side, Jarvan IV and Elise headed straight for the top river, while Corki and Xayah and Rakan went to the bottom lane's tri-bush.

Game time is 0 minutes and 55 seconds.

Flash Wolves' mid laner Orianna placed a ward at LGD's F6 camp.

At this moment, the keystone runes of the ten heroes from both sides were displayed at the bottom of the big screen.

"Wow, Zhou Shen's prince didn't bring the mainstream Undying Grip, but instead brought Fervor of Battle, and he even went out with a Doran's Blade. Isn't that a bit too aggressive?" Umbrella Emperor noticed the prince's keystone talent at a glance.

"Did the Prince manage to beat the Crocodile in the early game?" Umbrella King asked with some doubt. "I feel that the Prince can withstand some pressure against the Crocodile in the early game!"

"Well, all I can say is, that's Zhou Shen for you. He's always a bit different from others!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile. "It seems like Zhou Shen thinks he can take on a crocodile!"

"Then let's see what kind of effect Zhou Shen's 'Passionate Prince' can produce!" Umbrella Emperor nodded.

Game time is 1 minutes and 18 seconds.

Both junglers placed wards on themselves in the bushes in the middle of the upper river.

The ward in this spot makes it easy to spot the enemy jungler's movements.

Then, both sides dispersed from the river.

But at this moment, the crocodile placed a ward with its trinket on the wall next to LGD's blue buff.

Zhou Dian and Eimy are both some distance apart from each other by the red-side fake eye.

The two of them cannot immediately reach that eye.

When the prince stepped forward, the spider switched to human form and attacked each of them.

The red square's eye then went into stealth mode.

LGD's top and jungle players didn't have time to destroy the ward that the Renekton had placed.

However, Eimy's Spider still chose to follow the original jungle route.

Zhou Dian's prince helped him activate the blue buff.

He didn't care if the Flash Wolves found out about this information.

On the other side, Flash Wolves' jungler, Rek'Sai, chose to start at F6.

The top laner Renekton and the mid laner Orianna each used their Q skill on the Rek'Sai.

Both top laners helped their junglers clear the jungle camps, with Jarvan IV taking a little longer to do so.

However, the crocodile was heading to the top lane from F6, which is a bit further away from the top lane.

Therefore, the top laners on both sides basically went live at the same time.

The prince and the crocodile didn't exchange blood right from the start.

Instead, they each peacefully finished off three front-line minions.

At this point, the crocodile's rage reached 45 points, and Mimi Egg decisively controlled the crocodile to press forward.

If the prince turns around and trades blows with him, the crocodile can deal 50 rage points to the prince with one auto-attack, and then follow up with a red-rage Crocodile Rush (Q).

Given the healing effect of Red Fury Q, Renekton gained a free win from this exchange of blows.

As for Q hitting the blue side's minions, it will cause the minion wave to push forward, and Mimi Egg is not afraid of being caught at all.

Anyway, I saw that the spider was spawning in the lower half of the map from the blue side, and it wouldn't come up at all in the first few minutes.

If the prince doesn't trade blows with his crocodile and is forced to retreat, then the crocodile will gain lane control.

In short, Mimi Egg felt that the timing of her forward push was perfect.

You're making a profit no matter what!

Seeing the crocodile with 45 points of rage pressing down, Zhou Dian immediately understood the enemy top laner's intentions.

He immediately manipulated the prince to begin retreating.

The crocodile continued to press forward.

Just as he pushed back his own backline soldiers, Zhou Dian's prince suddenly turned around.

The prince's basic attack range is 175 yards, while the crocodile's basic attack range is only 125 yards.

So the prince landed an A on the crocodile first.

The prince slammed his spear into the crocodile, and this basic attack, combined with his passive ability, took away nearly a hundred drops of the crocodile's health.

"Kid, your laning phase is too formulaic!" Zhou Dian thought to himself.

At the same time, Zhou Dian quickly added the skill points from his Prince level 1 skill to his W skill.

Zhou Dian has kept this skill point unallocated since the start of the game.
