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

Chapter 378 Let the Emperor, listen to my advice, you can't control Kennen!

Coach Firefox is quite respectful of the players' wishes when it comes to hero selection.

Letme stared at the screen for a moment, then said, "Kenan, get me Kennen!"

Hearing this, Uzi, who was selecting players on the fourth floor, turned his head to look and asked, "Are you sure?"

Mala Xiangguo laughed and said, "So you're trying to mess with Zhou Shen? Wow, Yan Junze, you dare to go head-to-head with Zhou Shen, is that even possible!"

"Oh, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of!" Letme retorted, "Kennen is a champion that won't lose in lane!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ge, who was standing behind Letme, nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Kennen is a lane bully, so holding his own in lane shouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, this is only the first game of a best-of-five series. Letting Letme go head-to-head with Zhou Shen allows for a lot of room for adjustment even if he loses.

At worst, we can just pick tank heroes for him from now on.

But if Letme gains an advantage in this game and RNG wins, then the subsequent situation will be very favorable for RNG.

Your strongest point, LGD, couldn't beat my weakest point, RNG. So how are you going to play in the next few games? How are you going to draft?
This is a double blow to confidence and tactics.

Considering this possibility, Feng felt that it was perfectly acceptable to give Letme the first game to test and make mistakes!
"Let's take Kennen!" Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Uzi immediately locked in Kennen.

In the commentary box.

"Oh, it's Kennen? It's not often that Letme picks this champion!"

"But let's be fair, this first pick of Kennen top lane is kind of invincible. This champion doesn't have any natural counters in the top lane, and he can easily beat melee champions."

"Letme's attitude is very clear this game, he wants to go head-to-head with Zhou Shen!"

With the top laner selection complete, RNG on the blue side still has the AD carry position to choose from.

"Kasumi!"

Miller suddenly blurted out the word "Xia".

The doll added, "It's possible to pick Xayah, but I'm not sure if Uzi would pick Vayne in a game like this."

The camera was fixed on Uzi, whose cheeks were slightly flushed.

"Hey, hey, hey, Feng-ge's over here, he seems to be asking about the puppy!"

"What do you mean?" the doll asked with a smile.

At this moment, on the big screen at the scene, RNG's head coach Feng leaned down next to Uzi and said something.

After he finished speaking, Uzi's face turned even redder.

"It all depends on what Uzi picks. After all, this is the Summer Split finals, and the players are under a lot of pressure!"

Miller continued, "I think Xia is more likely to be the one."

At this moment, the chaotic sounds of the audience gathered together, and it became possible to roughly understand what they were shouting.

“VN~”

“VN~”

“VN~”

The two commentators naturally heard the shouts from the audience.

The child chuckled and said, "The audience is already shouting. I rarely see audiences talking about heroes like this during a competition."

"Yes, because the audience has high expectations for the puppy!"

As they spoke, the countdown to the selection process had reached its final few seconds.

RNG picked Ezreal on the fifth floor of the blue side and then locked him in.

"Ah~ EZ, EZ is quite flexible, and against LGD's lineup, EZ should be quite effective."

That's what they say, but you can clearly hear that Miller's voice has become lower.

After all, he had been calling for Xayah for so long, but Uzi just wouldn't pick her.

At this point, in the first game of the finals, the draft phase still had LGD's fifth player on the red side to pick their last hero.

Wawa said, "I think besides the puppy, everyone should also be looking forward to Zhou Shen's hero selection. What hero will he choose in the top lane against Kennen?"

Zhou Dian didn't keep the audience waiting too long. Only three seconds into the hero selection countdown, PYL locked in Jayce on the fifth floor of the red team.

"Jace!"

Miller's voice instantly became louder.

"Goodness, it's still the same familiar Zhou Shen. If you want to pick Kennen to lane against me, then I'll grant your wish."

"If I remember correctly, Zhou Shen's Jayce is also top-tier, with many memorable moments, and Zhou Shen hasn't played Jayce in a long time!"

After the draft phase, the players began swapping heroes to their respective positions.

"The mid and top lane matchup is going to be interesting; both sides are picking very aggressive compositions!"

Miller continued, "Especially LGD's lineup in this game, both the mid and top lanes are pure lane-farming heroes!"

"Hey, this is more like it! Everyone probably wants to see a fight, right!"

At this moment, the game entered the loading screen on the large screen at the venue.

After Dgc and Feng Ge shook hands in the center of the stage, they each turned and walked towards the player's passage.

The camera is focused on the center of the stage, shooting an overhead view of the LPL championship trophy placed on the central platform.

The loading time was a bit long, so the camera returned to the faces of the two players.

Some of the contestants were talking non-stop, while others remained silent.

On RNG's side, Spicy Pot is discussing tactics with his teammates.

The chat content on LGD's side was a bit strange.

Wei Shen: "Can I solo kill Letme in this game?"

Zhou Dian: "I will definitely solo kill him! I don't understand why Letme suddenly became so confident. Is Kennen even a game you can play?!"

Wei Shen: "Okay, then I'll definitely solo kill Xiaohu this game too!"

Zhou Dian: "Okay, whoever doesn't get a solo kill in their lane this game treats me to dinner."

Wei Shen: "Okay!"

Loading complete, the first game of the LPL Summer Split Finals BO5 has officially begun.

RNG (Blue Side):

Top lane Kennen, jungle Gragas, mid lane Lucian, bot lane Ezreal and Braum.

Red team LGD:

Top lane Jayce, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane LeBlanc, bot lane Tristana and Lulu.

Upon entering the game, both players quickly purchased their starting items and controlled their respective heroes to leave the fountain.

The game starts with the classic ten players lined up along the river.

Both sides started the game with their positioning focused on defending their own jungle.

At this moment, the keystone runes of the ten heroes from both sides popped up at the bottom of the large screen.

"Alright, let's take a look at each other's core talents first."

"imp's cannon has Fervor of War, but not Bloodlust. Xiangguo's barrel has Stoneborn Pact, so it's a pure utility playstyle."

"Letme's Kennen is using Thunderlord's Decree, so this game he's going to play AP Kennen. AP Kennen isn't as good as AD Kennen in lane, but his teamfight ability is terrifying."

"Hey, Jess brought a Stormrider, that's pretty rare. Let's see if Zhou Shen has any unique insights!" The keystone talent [Stormrider's Surge] is similar in effect to Phase Rush after the talent rework, but the trigger conditions for Stormrider are much more demanding.

At this point, the mainstream builds for Jayce were Thunderlord's Decree or Fervor of Battle.

Generally, mid-lane Jayce takes Thunderlord's Decree, while top-lane Jayce takes Fervor of Battle.

With the keystone runes explained, the two commentators turned their attention to the starting items.

"imp's Tristana chose to start with Doran's Shield. She didn't take Bloodlust as her rune this game, so she didn't take Doran's Blade."

"Hey, why is Xiaohu's Lucian starting with Doran's Shield? If he's laning against a champion like Cassiopeia who has strong poke, then taking Doran's Shield would be understandable. But to go against LeBlanc and still get Doran's Shield, isn't that a bit too conservative?"

"Kennen's starting item is definitely Doran's Blade. Whether it's AD Kennen or AP Kennen, the starting item is basically always the same."

Miller paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, when Zhou Shen chose Jayce, I was thinking about something, and now that I see it, it's true."

"What?" the doll asked cooperatively.

"Zhou Shen's Jayce in this game still follows his usual economical farming style of laning!"

"He's laning against Kennen this game, but Zhou Shen still started with a Long Sword and a Refillable Potion. Zhou Shen is really extremely confident in his laning ability!"

As they were talking, the game time reached 1 minute and 40 seconds, and the buff monsters spawned.

Both junglers started the game in the lower half of the jungle in a standard manner.

Mlxg's Gragas took the red buff, while Eimy's Jarvan IV took the blue buff.

Both sides' bot lanes helped their junglers clear the jungle camps, and neither side rushed to the lane to contest lane priority.

In the mid lane, Lucian is still stronger than LeBlanc at level 1.

As soon as the minion waves met, Xiaohu controlled Lucian to push forward, while Wei Shen chose to temporarily avoid the attack.

After briefly pausing in the mid lane, the OB viewpoint shifted to the top lane.

Zhou Dian's Jayce is currently crouching in the middle bush of the top lane, while Letme's Kennen is crouching in the river bush of the top lane.

The top lane minions clashed, and the two emerged from the bushes, exchanging blows for the first time in the game in the gap between the blue team's backline and frontline minions.

Jayce launched a basic attack at Kennen, simultaneously unleashing his Electric Shock (Cannon Form Q).

Kennen also threw a shuriken while attacking Jayce, which was his ultimate move, Chidori (Q).

Both sides' basic attacks landed on the opponent at the same time, but their skills were different.

After both players used their Q skills, they immediately began to reposition themselves.

Jayce dodged Kennen's Q skill with his movement, but the electric ball fired by Jayce's Q skill hit Kennen, who was moving to the left.

As soon as they made contact on the lane, Kennen suffered a slight loss.

Jayce was able to dodge Kennen's Q because Zhou Dian was able to react with exceptional speed and focus under his intense concentration.

Jayce's electric ball hit Kennen because of his prediction.

Zhou Dian never underestimates any opponent, so he actually studied Letme's recent match videos before the finals.

Naturally, all research was also done on Letme's positioning habits.

Therefore, Zhou Dian is very confident that Kennen will move to the left this time.

Therefore, Jayce's Q skill was cast with a slight prediction of Kennen's left side.

The results confirmed Zhou Dian's guess.

"Hey, Kennen missed his skill. Right off the bat, Zhou Shen showed off his positioning to Letme!" Miller said.

I thought that after this small probing, both sides would pull away.

But everyone underestimated Zhou Dian's aggressiveness, especially when he played long-range heroes.

As Kennen's shuriken grazed past Jayce's body, Jayce switched from cannon form to hammer form.

At the same time, Jayce's lateral movement immediately turned into a forward movement.

Despite the 40-point movement speed bonus from switching forms, the distance between Jayce and Kennen did not increase despite their attempts to dodge abilities.

The next moment, Jayce used Sky Leap (Hammer Form Q), flipped over, and smashed into Kennen's head.

Incidentally, a basic attack also hit Kennen.

Jayce's next basic attack after switching to hammer form deals nearly 30 additional magic damage.

At the beginning, when Jayce in his cannon form attacked Kennen, it slightly reduced Kennen's armor and magic resistance for 5 seconds.

Zhou Dian unleashed all the maximum damage that a level 1 Jayce could deal on Kennen.

Two basic attacks and two skills in a short period of time naturally triggered Jayce's keystone rune for this game - Stormraider's Surge.

Jayce's movement speed suddenly increased dramatically, and he was rapidly moving away from Kennen towards his own minion wave.

Jayce, who was originally face-to-face with Kennen, only took one auto-attack from Kennen while moving out of Kennen's range.

Of course, the volley from the three ranged minions on the blue side only hit them once.

Meanwhile, in the commentary booth...

"Hey, Jayce transformed into hammer form and immediately used Q, he'll get hit by minions now!"

"Wow, that's some fast movement speed! It completely pulled away the minions' aggro. Is this the purpose of having a Wind Rider?"

After this initial exchange, Kennen was left with just over half health, while Jayce only lost about a hundred health points after being hit twice by Kennen.

At this stage, Jayce's level 1 three-dimensional attributes were still quite normal.

Unlike a few years later, when its initial attack power and armor were nerfed to a level lower than a cat's.

In addition, Zhou Dian started with a longsword, which has two more attack power than a Doran's Blade, so it's normal that this combo, which maximizes damage, took down Kennen to almost half health.

It must be said that the timing of the OB staff's screen switching in this match was just right.

Just a second before Jayce and Kennen clashed, the OB camera switched to the top lane.

Then the entire process of the level 1 trade between the two top laners was presented to all viewers in its entirety.

The result of the roster change was that Letme was taught a harsh lesson by Zhou Dian with a simple movement and the Wind Rider talent.

Before either side's front-line minions had even been killed in the first wave of minions, Kennen already had just over half his health left.

If Kennen is laning against a melee champion, he will have plenty of opportunities to use Doran's Blade to last-hit minions and heal.

However, his opponent is Jayce, so he doesn't have many opportunities to continuously farm minions.

To keep his health at a safe level and make it easier to continue laning, Letme chose to use the only health potion he had.

Green fluorescence slowly emanated from Kennen's head, and Kennen's health gradually increased.

In League of Legends, if your only health potion is taken away by your opponent right at level one, it means you're really being played like a pushover.

Meanwhile, in the official live broadcast room, online viewers made no attempt to hide their desire to express themselves, and began sending out barrage comments.

[A perfect match, just right, that's the style! This is Zhou Shen's top-tier laning!]

[Abdicate the throne? Abdicate the throne to your brother!]

[So that's how you use Wind Rider? This makes me feel like I've been completely outplayed!]

In this real clash, Letme seemed a bit silly.

[I saw Letme playing Kennen with confidence, and I thought he had something going for him, but that won't work. He should just stick to playing his tanks!]

[Letme, listen to my advice, you can't handle Kennen!]
