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

Chapter 356 Life is full of boomerangs!
However, Guan Zeyuan's expectations are destined not to be met in today's match.

The third game of a best-of-three series.

LGD banned Ning's Kayn, while IG did not ban Cho'Gath.

Dgc wanted to choose the big bug for Zhou Dian, and Zhou Dian thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

On the IG side, Rumble was still picked for TheShy.

As soon as Guan Zeyuan saw the champion picks for the top laners on both sides, he knew that the top lane wouldn't be able to fight.

Once the game started, Zhou Dian's Cho'Gath, relying on his passive high healing amount, completely ignored Rumble's poke damage.

Only finish off enemies, don't attack them.

TheShy felt quite satisfied with roasting the giant bug, getting more and more excited as it roasted, which caused Rumble to position himself further and further forward.

Then Eimy's excavator crawled up behind Rambo.

The excavator lifted Rumble, and Cho'Gath followed up with Wild Scream (W) to silence him, then added a Crack (Q) to knock Rumble away again.

Eek!
With Rumble's scream, TheShy couldn't even use Flash before Rumble was sent back to the fountain.

After securing the first blood on Rumble, the excavator circled around, used vision to return to the bushes on the top lane.

At this moment, the top lane minion wave is in the middle position. Rumble teleports to the tower and then walks to the front of the minion wave.

Just as Rambo walked over, the excavator emerged from the grass, flashed and headbutted Rambo, and then Cho'Gath took over the control.

Next, the scene from before was repeated: Rumble was hit by a series of crowd control effects again, and he still couldn't use Flash.

This time, Rumble lost his teleport, and LGD's top and jungle duo pushed a large wave of minions into IG's top lane tower.

Rambo suffered a huge loss.

In the commentary box.

"Zhou Shen and Eimy are really going too far! Rambo is having such a terrible time!" Guan Zeyuan said with a laugh.

"But then again, TheShy was too careless. I can guarantee that if Zhou Shen had played Rumble, he would never have been caught and killed like that."

No sooner had Guan Zeyuan finished speaking than West's Varus was killed by imp's skateboard shoes.

West, this AD carry player, does have some skill.

However, this guy's performance in matches is unpredictable, sometimes amazing and sometimes terrible.

In the previous game, he killed imp in lane, but in this game, imp killed him back.

Unfortunately, the champion Kalista has an exceptionally strong snowballing ability, and once Varus died, he was completely unable to recover.

IG's top lane was ganked and crushed, their bottom lane was also crushed, and Ning, the jungler, lost his rhythm without Kayn.

Rookie's Cassiopeia was left alone in the mid lane, sighing in despair.

Because GodV's Galio on the opposing team simply stopped playing with him, instead roaming around and killing Rookie's teammates.

Just like the previous game, this match turned into a complete rout.

The difference is that the victim was on a different team.

Slightly slower than the previous game, LGD destroyed IG's base crystal in 26 minutes.

During the post-match handshake, when Zhou Dian walked up to TheShy, the seventeen-year-old TheShy stood there very reservedly.

Because Zhou Dian was walking at the very back, he lingered in front of TheShy for two extra seconds.

He smiled at TheShy, and TheShy grinned back at him.

"Hmm, this person's face is indeed a bit long!" That was Zhou Dian's first reaction.

"Okay, then congratulations to LGD for defeating IG with a score of 2 to 1."

"LGD's winning streak since the start of the Summer Split continues, currently reaching eleven consecutive wins!"

"I also thank both teams for giving us a wonderful match. All three games were fast-paced and intense, and each game was short."

"But why do I feel like I'm not quite satisfied? Something seems off?"

Guan Zeyuan was giving a summary at the commentary booth.

"Something's not right? Do you feel like ants are crawling all over your body?" Yu Tong asked with a smile.

"."

Yu Tong's words were indeed a bit abstract. Guan Zeyuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to respond.

"Okay, let's take a look at the MVP of the third game, which goes to Eimy's Excavator."

"Take a short break, and we'll bring you the match between NB and DAN later."

In the subsequent match, NB easily defeated DAN.
NB's starting bot lane duo has recently changed to Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong.

These two couldn't hold back when facing DAN's bottom laner, Qiuqiu and Maohuang, two noobs, and went straight for a beating.

After losing to NB, DAN suffered their sixth consecutive defeat.

After losing all six best-of-three matches in the inter-group competition, more and more people are beginning to think that DAN, the dark horse team that amazed the entire LPL at the beginning of the Summer Split, seems to be...
Are we really going to miss the playoffs?
It was not even 5 p.m. when they returned to the team base from the LPL venue.

After this week's matches, all six rounds of inter-group matches in the LPL Summer Split regular season will have concluded.

Next week's regular season will return to group matches, which means the regular season is coming to an end.

LGD's six inter-group matches also ended with a six-game winning streak.

LGD currently boasts an eleven-game winning streak, and is only five best-of-three matches in the second round of their group stage to achieve a perfect record in the regular season.

LGD's next match is in eight days, and tomorrow, July 30th, is a Sunday.

Therefore, the team leader gave the LGD players a day off, and they will return to the team on Sunday night to resume training.

Not long after returning to the base, PYL and Eimy called on their teammates to go out for a stroll, buy some things, and have a nice meal to improve their lives.

Although the cafeteria aunties' cooking skills are good, you'll get tired of eating the same thing every day.

"Xiao Zhou, come on, let's go out and get something good to eat, it's on me!" PYL called out from behind Zhou Dian's seat.

However, Zhou Dian had already opened the Korean server client, been matched into a game, and had already selected his hero.

In this game, he chose Urgot, nicknamed "Crab" in the Chinese server.

Hearing PYL's invitation, Zhou Dian could only shake his head helplessly and say, "You guys go ahead, my game is already running!"

"Why are you suddenly playing with crabs?" Eimy asked from the side.

"The Korean server just updated to version 7.15 today, and Urgot has been reworked!" Zhou Dian exclaimed. "I need to hurry up and practice this champion. I feel like Urgot will be quite effective as a top laner after the rework!"

Upon hearing Zhou Dian's answer, PYL and Eimy exchanged a glance.

Goodness, you're really curly!

If you're not amazing, who is?
If you don't succeed, who will?
Four days later, on August 4th, the eighth week of the LPL Summer Split regular season began.

This is the second round of group matches, and the LPL Summer Split regular season has reached its final stage. The first match is between DAN and IM, which is crucial for a playoff spot.

After two drawn-out matches, IM defeated DAN 2-0, handing DAN their seventh consecutive loss.

Both DAN and IM have a record of four wins and eight losses.

Fortunately, DAN, thanks to its superior point differential, still holds fourth place in Group A, ahead of IM.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that, given DAN's recent performance, it's only a matter of time before he's overtaken by IM.

The top three teams in Group A have already left the bottom three teams far behind.

If IM surpasses them, it means DAN will miss the playoffs.

At the beginning of the Summer Split, after the first round of group matches, when DAN surpassed WE to rank first in Group A, no one thought that DAN, this dark horse, would fail to make it to the playoffs.

DAN's dismal performance has also caused a major backlash against the team's official Weibo account.

When the first round of group matches ended and newly promoted DAN topped Group A ahead of WE, DAN's official Weibo account posted a message:
The content was a screenshot of the standings at the time, accompanied by the caption: "[Is this all there is to the LPL?]"

This Weibo post has long since been deleted.

However, this did not stop many fans of other LPL teams from taking screenshots and mocking DAN team's other Weibo posts.

All I can say is that life is full of boomerangs!
After the match between DAN and IM, the next match was between Snake and IG.

Originally, this competition had nothing to do with the DAN team anymore.

But after Snake Esports unexpectedly defeated IG 2-0, DAN Esports was ridiculed again.

Because Snakes' record is only one game less than DAN's.

The two teams also have a direct match against each other.

It's not impossible that DAN could drop to last place in Group A.

Next, in the games on Friday and Saturday.

Both RNG and EDG won their matches cleanly and decisively, with each game lasting less than 30 minutes.

Since Uzi's return, RNG has only won one match against IM, a 2-1 victory.

All other matches were won 2-0 shutouts.

EDG is also quite strong. Since the Intercontinental Cup, the whole team seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

Since returning from Taiwan, apart from the regular season match where they lost to LGD, they haven't lost a single game in the other matches either.

Even in the match against LGD, it was a close call to victory, only to be thwarted by Zhou Dian's Gnar's brilliant, decisive strike.

Meanwhile, iboy, the rookie AD player that EDG recently brought in, has also performed exceptionally well.

EDG and RNG are currently the two teams with the highest chance of winning the Summer Split, second only to LGD.

As for WE, the runner-up of the Spring Split, they were defeated 2-0 by IG in their last match on Saturday.

The two matches combined lasted less than fifty minutes, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe WE's performance as "tragic".

WE's recent poor performance has led even their fans to give up hope of winning the Summer Split championship, and they would be content with just securing a spot in S7.

July 8, Sunday.

Three matches are scheduled for today.

RNG, EDG, and LGD, the three most popular teams in the LPL, all have matches today.

LGD's match was the last one.

The first match was between RNG and JDG.

Uzi played Kalista in two games, and both were dominant victories, easily clocking out of the game.

Next up was EDG's match, where rookie player iboy also dominated two games, leading EDG to a 2-0 victory over SNG and another win.

The pressure is now on LGD.

imp did not disappoint LGD fans.

One game of Twitch, one game of Skateboard Shoes, and he easily crushed NB's ADC Lin Weixiang.

LGD defeated NB 2-0, and both teams clocked out.

In today's three 2-0 matches, the MVP of all six games was the ADC.

This also shows that the current version is increasingly focusing on the bottom lane.

In today's two games, Zhou Dian played one game as Cho'Gath and one game as Treant Protector.

In that game, the big bug even solo killed the opposing Gnar.

Following the previous rampages of warrior-style split-push top laners and damage-dealing top laners, who carried their teams to victory.

Recently, Zhou Dian's performance as a tank-type top laner has been incredibly consistent.

With LGD's victory over NB, the eighth week of the LPL regular season has come to an end.

LGD remains in first place in Group B, with their record still significantly ahead of RNG behind them.

After returning from the competition venue, it was still early, so Dgc arranged another practice match.

Because next week, which is the ninth week of the regular season, the LPL game version will be changed to version 7.15.

Moreover, LGD's match was the first match of week nine, with only three days between it and today's match.

With time running out, LGD's players need to gain a deeper understanding of the new version.

In version 7.15, apart from the rework of Urgot, there were no major changes.

The game's carry focus remains on the bottom lane.

The damage of Cho'Gath's E skill has been reduced slightly, but it doesn't affect his current dominance in the top lane.

There is one change that Zhou Dian should pay attention to.

The captain's passive damage has been increased, with a 15-point increase across all levels.

15 points of damage isn't very useful in the late game, but it's a decent boost in the early game.

The Captain is a hero that's definitely worth practicing.

Sometimes, it's really useful.

Especially now that the carry role in the game is in the bottom lane, the bottom lane is often the focus of contention.

When neither of the top laners can go to the bottom lane to provide support.

The captain's ultimate ability can often have a decisive effect in bottom lane battles.
