Chapter 331 The Last Insignificant Group Stage Match

Upon hearing Zhou Dian's explanation, Yu Shuang was momentarily stunned.

She felt like she understood, but also felt like she didn't fully understand.
And the live chat in the official tournament broadcast room.

The excitement had already begun when Zhou Dian started talking about calculating the amount of money on the excavator.

I didn't understand it, but I was deeply moved!

So that's how the algorithm works. I didn't quite believe it before!

Believe first, then believe again; just believe in God Zhou and everything will be fine!

Wait, can this thing even be calculated?

Of course you can calculate it! When I play ranked matches, I often calculate how much money the opponent has!

Who do you think you are? Get lost and play somewhere else!

【.】

After listening to Zhou Dian's answer.

At this moment, Yu Shuang had only one feeling.

From now on, whenever LGD plays a match...

I can no longer host this post-match interview.

When you encounter the God of Zhou, you're truly speechless!

"Okay, thank you again, Zhou Shen, for accepting our post-match interview. There are still two group matches to go, so stay tuned!"

Yu Shuang quickly ended the post-match interview.

The live stream then switched back to the commentary booth.

Guan Zeyuan stared wide-eyed at the person beside him and said:

"Umbrella King, you're a former professional player. What do you think of Zhou Shen's claim that you can deduce a jungler's movements by analyzing their gold income?"

Is this reliable?

Upon hearing this, the Umbrella King hesitated for a moment, then organized his thoughts before speaking:
"Well, estimating the economy is a required course for professional players, right? But it's just a rough estimate; to reach the level Zhou Shen just mentioned..."

"I feel like it's a bit too mystical!"

Guan Zeyuan didn't linger on the topic any longer, saying:

"Alright, everyone, please take a short break. We'll be bringing you the match between AHQ and KT, a game between the LMS region and the LCK region."

After the post-match interview, Zhou Dian returned to the rest room belonging to the LPL participating teams.

As soon as Zhou Dian sat down, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Zhou Dian!" A somewhat familiar voice rang out beside Zhou Dian.

"Oh, what's wrong, factory manager?"

Clearlove7 stopped and sat down next to Zhou Dian.

Zhou Dian and the factory director were only nodding acquaintances.

It was only during the recent intercontinental tournament that I got to know the other teams.

"I've been thinking about what you just said about tracking the excavator's movements."

"It's easier to calculate the number of last hits for players online, but the number of last hits for junglers comes from complex sources and is difficult to calculate! Did you really calculate that?" Clearlove asked seriously.

The factory manager himself plays the jungle position. If Zhou Dian can really calculate it, then others might be able to as well.

So he seriously considered the question for a while.

It seems like it can't be calculated!

Now that Zhou Dian is back, let's ask the person involved.

Seeing the factory manager's serious expression, Zhou Dian chuckled.

"Fine, to be honest, I was just guessing."

"Really?"

"real!"

After LGD's group stage match against Flash Wolves.

There are only two group stage matches left in this Asian Games.

The next match is between AHQ and the newly formed LCK super team KT.

The LMS region's spring split runner-up plays against the LCK region's spring split runner-up.

The final group stage match was between LGD and SKT.

I thought KT would easily defeat AHQ.

After all, KT is currently ranked first in the LCK Summer Split regular season.

Throughout the entire LCK Summer Split regular season, up until the Rift Rivals, KT, like LGD, had not lost a single match.

In the previous group stage match, WE was easily defeated by KT.

It seems that AHQ is no match for KT at all.

But the result was somewhat unexpected.

AHQ pulled off a major upset by defeating KT.

For the LCK region, it doesn't really matter that KT lost this group stage match.

Because before this group stage match.

LCK had already secured first place in their group and advanced to the finals of this Asian Games.

leftover.

It's a battle between the LPL and LMS regions for second place in their group.

Although the semifinals have already been confirmed to be LPL vs. LMS.

However, the second-place team in the group will play in the best-of-five semifinal match.

We need more options to choose sides.

This is something that is still very much worth fighting for.

But then AHQ pulled off a stunning upset against KT.

The LMS region has already secured second place in its group.

In other words.

In the final group stage match, LGD will play regardless of the outcome.

It's already too late to change the fact that LPL finished third and last in the group stage.

"Alright, everyone, welcome back. We're about to bring you the match between LGD and SKT," said Guan Zeyuan.

The commentators for this match were still Guan Zeyuan and Umbrella King.

There were a total of six BO1 matches today.

The two were responsible for commentating on the last three of the six matches.

LGD's two group stage matches were both scheduled as the last three matches of today.

After a brief chat in the commentary booth.

The players from both sides are already seated in their seats.

"Alright, without further ado, let's get back to the match, the BO1 group stage match between LGD and SKT, let's start the draft!"

Entering the BP phase.

LGD is on the blue side in this game, while SKT is on the red side.

Perhaps this final group stage match will have no real impact regardless of the outcome.

Therefore, neither side seemed to care much.

They can do BP (Browser/Backer) very quickly.

They all seemed eager to finish this match quickly so they could go back and prepare for the upcoming BO5 knockout stage.

The business plan was completed quickly.

Blue side LGD:

Top lane: Renekton; Jungle: Elise; Mid lane: LeBlanc; Bot lane: Varus and Garen.

Red team SKT:

Top lane Rumble, jungle Rek'Sai, mid lane Corki, bot lane Kalista and Thresh.

Both sides selected fairly standard lineups.

No team would make a move in such an insignificant match. In terms of late-game potential, SKT's lineup is undoubtedly stronger in this game.

In this game, SKT made an adjustment to the jungler position.

Peanut, who had been the starting jungler all year, was replaced.

They replaced him with Blank, the S6 champion jungler, also known as "Little Black".

Since Peanut joined SKT this year, Blank has gradually become a substitute.

To be fair, Blank was last year's champion jungler.

But, well, it's a bit of a mess!
In several key games of the S6 World Championship, SKT won by having Bengi play jungle.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Peanut, who is in great form this year, squeezed out of the starting lineup.

Back to the game.

The opening moves of both junglers were exactly the same as in LGD's game against Flash Wolves.

The crocodile helps the spider open the blue buff, and Rumble helps the excavator open the F6.

After helping the Spider clear the blue buff, Zhou Dian's Renekton arrived on lane around the same time as Rumble.

Everything was very similar to when we fought Flash Wolves.

The difference lies in the level of the opponent.

After a brief tug-of-war with Rambo, Zhou Dian realized that Huni's proficiency with Rambo was quite impressive.

Anyway, he's much better than Flash Wolves' top laner, Mimi Egg.

Because the spider is opened from the top down, it spawns from the bottom.

In the early levels, Rumble can just push the Crocodile lane relentlessly; Zhou Dian can't do anything about him.

Eimy's jungle route is the same as the previous game.

Spider first activates the blue buff, then the three wolves, and then the red buff until level three.

Blank activated his Excavator with F6, destroyed the red buff, and immediately went to the bottom river to fight the Rift Scuttler.

This is completely different from the jungle strategy of Flash Wolves' Rek'Sai.

The hero Excavator has extremely strong map control capabilities.

Every expert excavator operator has their own unique farming route.

After the excavator destroyed the river crab and leveled up to level 3, it directly reached the bush behind LGD's red buff.

At this moment, the spider had just finished taking down the red buff.

Faker's Corki was positioned quite far forward in the mid lane.

Eimy wanted to see if there was an opportunity in the mid lane, while also not neglecting the fight for the river crab.

So the spider moved towards the mid lane, hugging the wall behind the red buff.

Just as I reached the edge of the bushes, the excavator's Level 1 Search Prey (Underground Q) hit a spider.

Then it bursts out of the ground and lifts the spider up.

Then activate Queen's Wrath (Q on the ground) and attack the spider once.

Meanwhile, the excavator's enraged Wild Bite (E) slammed into the spider.

The spider, whose health was already low, now only had 120 health points left.

After the excavator activates its Q skill, its next three basic attacks will deal extra damage.

Eimy then frantically pressed the E key, and the spider immediately took to the air after landing from the knock-up state.

The excavator's second basic attack failed to hit the spider.

The spider didn't wait in the air; it immediately landed on the exploding fruit behind it.

At this point, the excavator's Q skill had one basic attack left, and Blank immediately flashed and auto-attacked.

Perhaps I pressed Flash too hastily, or maybe I've been out of practice for a while and am a bit rusty.

After the excavator teleported, it was just a tiny bit short of reaching the spider.

Then, with a quick flash and basic attack, he landed on the Blast Fruit.

The spider was bounced over the wall by the blast fruit and landed near the stone beetle.

The excavator, on the other hand, was thrown in the opposite direction.

The excavator was unwilling to give up and chased LGD to the vicinity of the bottom lane tri-bush.

But ultimately, they couldn't kill the spider, so they could only turn back and eat a bunch of the spider's big birds.

The spider narrowly escaped death after being ambushed by the excavator.

The excavator not only used Flash, but also...

The most outrageous thing is that they didn't even manage to use the Spider's Flash.

The spider knocked down its health potion and began farming stone beetles.

Eimy let out a sneer while farming jungle monsters.

"That stupid excavator!"

Zhou Dian was speechless when he heard this.

Still laughing here!
The excavator missed a crucial point this time; it didn't kill the spider. But did it lose out?
Not a loss at all!

This invasion by the excavator has depleted a large portion of the spider's health and stolen a group of jungle monsters, severely impacting the spider's jungle clearing rhythm.

Eimy isn't good at the fasting playstyle of Mala Xiangguo, which will inevitably affect the Spider's ganking rhythm.

Who is the biggest beneficiary?
Actually, it was Rambo on the road.

Zhou Dian picked the Crocodile first in this game, but in a 1v1 situation, he picked Rumble second, so there wasn't much he could do.

The task of suppressing Rambo's development actually lies more with the spider.

Spider gets pressured by the excavator's counter-jungling every time, or is forced to return to base.

Rambo can develop his abilities a bit more without having to kill the spider.

For every extra minute that Rumble can comfortably farm, LGD's chances of winning this game will decrease slightly.

In the first few minutes, Rumble was pushing the lane aggressively, and Zhou Dian's Renekton was too busy farming to trade blows.

The excavator cleared LGD's F6 camp, leaving only a small one, and then returned to its own jungle.

The game was paused as the spider moved towards the mid lane after finishing off the stone beetle!

It's an issue with SKT.

The pause didn't last long, less than five minutes.

The spider cleared the remaining bird from F6, while the excavator was attacking its own blue buff.

Eimy's strategy was relatively clear this time. When Spider arrived at the top river, instead of fighting the river crab, he entered the red side jungle, went behind the Baron pit, and headed straight for the top lane.

Rumble was currently pressing LGD's top tower and roasting the crocodile, while Elise had already circled around to the red team's top lane tri-bush.

Huni seemed to sense something and began to retreat, maneuvering Rambo.

Zhou Dian's crocodile used his E to move forward, and then used his W, which was enraged, to stun Rumble.

The spider appeared in a flash, and a cocoon was formed to continue the control.

Rambo was killed before he could even move.

The first blood was taken by the spider.

This is the "Zoo Combo" of Crocodile and Elise. If the enemy top laner doesn't have Cleanse, it's a guaranteed kill.

The two then pushed the minion wave to the tower, at which point Rumble revived and teleported to the tower.

Although the Polish player died, he had TP (Treasure Points), so he didn't lose much experience.

Zhou Dian gritted his teeth and said directly, "Kill him, kill him. I can kill him with my W first. I'll be fine if I trade blows with Rumble."

But the spider had already retreated.

"No way! I'm out of mana, Rumble still has Flash, and Rek'Sai should be here soon too. If we tower dive like this, we might just get ourselves killed," Eimy said.

Eimy's idea wasn't wrong.

Since the jungler doesn't want to make a move.

Zhou Dian's crocodile had no choice but to return to town to replenish its equipment.

Zhou Dian had just pressed the B key when something happened in the bottom lane!
Having already traded blows, Rakan, now with only half health, was hooked by Thresh at the last second, ignited, and finally finished off by Kalista's E.

imp and PYL were killed in the bot lane.
