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

Chapter 66: Winning the game feels so easy!

Why are you suddenly asking me if I know how to play tank heroes?

Zhou Dian was a little surprised.

Although it is common for coaches to assign a particular hero to professional players during tryouts.

But if Dgc wants to assess his skill level in playing tank heroes, he should tell himself this at the start of the draft phase!
Why are you suddenly bringing this up now that we're talking about top lane?

"I can play a few tank heroes!" Zhou Dian nodded and answered truthfully.

Since your coach has said so, then you can play tank top lane.

Zhou Dian did not attempt to use the ability "Brother Long is a Dragon" to influence Dgc's decision.

This is just a trial period, there's no need for that. Just follow the instructions!
Upon hearing Zhou Dian say he would play, Dgc immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you know how to have fun!

If he really doesn't know how to play, he can't possibly force someone else to play!
The first principle of a League of Legends head coach is not to force their players to play champions they are not proficient with.

Insufficient proficiency often leads to the game crashing online!
"Choose one you're good at!" Dgc still didn't specify a hero for Zhou Dian.

However, this time, there is an additional restriction on the type of tank hero.

Without hesitation, Zhou Dian said, "Let's choose the big tree!"

Upon hearing this, Dgc quickly looked at imp and said, "imp, pick Maokai for top lane!"

The countdown to the selection process is almost over.

However, before Dgc could even speak, imp had already locked down the big tree on the fourth floor of the red team.

Upon seeing this, Dgc's eyes flickered.

My head coach hasn't even given the order yet, and you, Imp, have already chosen your own hero?

It seems like they really don't respect me as the head coach!

So angry!
Dgc was unsure whether he was hallucinating.

He could clearly sense that Imp's expression seemed to have softened somewhat after he locked the tree.

Okay, okay, you're the older brother, whatever makes you happy!
at the same time.

WE Training Room.

After seeing that the opposing team had picked Maokai for top lane, Condi laughed and said, "Fiora is banned, so why didn't the Mage pick his crippled Camille? What's with this 'vegetable' guy?"

Condi's use of the word "vegetative state" on the surface refers to a large tree, but it is actually a reference to the Dharma King.

This made 957 and Xiye burst into laughter.

As for the two Koreans in WE's bot lane, they didn't understand what Condi was saying at all, let alone get the joke.

957 shared the same thought as Condi; he also believed that after Fiora was banned, the opposing team would pick Camille.

Of course, his starting point was different from Condi's.

Condi thought the opposing top laner was a "Mage King" (a legendary mage), and he knew that the Mage King was a hardcore Fiora and Camille fan, so he made that assumption.

However, 957 knew that the King of Laws' account was currently being operated by [Top Lane Ancestor].

Without Fiora, [Top Lane Master] will probably pick another signature champion – Camille.

He knew all too well what level Camille was at!

That's why 957 chose Shen first.

Shen is 957's specialty!
And Shen isn't really afraid of Camille!
But why did [Top Lane Master] pick Maokai?
Can he play with big trees?

Or perhaps the opposing top laner has changed again.

Is the one wielding the great tree in this round the true Dharma King?

Zhou Dian certainly knows how to play with big trees.

And they played it pretty well.

In other words, any high-ranking player who has seriously practiced Maokai will not be too bad at playing this hero.

Moreover, for the hero Maokai, as long as your proficiency is high enough, it's not very useful.

It all depends on whether your teammates are good or not!

In the second scrim between LGD and WE, Zhou Dian's teammates performed exceptionally well! So he won without any effort!

In the mid lane, GodV got the counter pick and chose a hero that countered Xiye, gaining some advantage in the lane.

Of course, the key to winning or losing this game lies in the bottom lane.

WE's ADC, Mystic, made a mistake in the early laning phase and was caught by imp, who then secured a lane kill.

Later, the jungler went to the bottom lane and dove the tower again.

WE's bot lane was completely destroyed.

Similar to the previous game, after about twenty minutes, WE, who were at a huge disadvantage, got tired of playing and typed "AG" in the public chat.

In the previous game, LGD dominated the top lane, but in this game, LGD dominated the bottom lane.

However, there are still significant differences between them.

Mystic's mistake in the early game was too serious!
In normal circumstances, if this situation occurs in a training match, the team would probably just type "AG" and request to move on to the next game, not wanting to waste any more time.

However, Coach Hongmi wanted to train the players' ability to cope with adversity, so he didn't let the WE players send "AG".

They held on for about twenty minutes, but the disadvantage grew larger and larger, and they couldn't turn the tide at all, so Redmi surrendered.

After the second training match against WE ended, imp finally smiled.

He had a lot of fun and was very happy in this game!
There's one thing he doesn't quite understand: why does Eimy like to run on the top lane so much?
Don't they usually come to the bottom lane?

In the last game, the kid who came for the trial played Fiora, and Eimy kept going to the top lane, which imp could understand.

But in this game, he played Maokai, why did you go to the top lane so many times?

Of course, this was just a practice match, and imp ultimately carried the game.

So imp won't say anything.

If this were a formal competition, he would definitely have to "remind" Eimy a couple of things.

Dgc, the head coach of LGD, was somewhat complacent after winning two games against WE.

Winning the game seems so easy!

If someone can dominate every lane in each game, wouldn't the match be won?

Furthermore, Dgc was very satisfied with the way LGD won the second game.

It allows imp to have a comfortable gaming experience while also winning the game.

perfect!

Xiao Zhou plays tank heroes quite well too, truly deserving of the title "Top Lane Master".

Then let him continue playing with tanks!
However, in the first two training matches, WE was not able to play at full intensity at all; they played like they were in ranked games, with each player doing their own thing.

In this situation, the players LGD is currently using in scrims are all quite strong individually, so it's normal that they were able to win two games against WE.

After losing two games in a row, Coach Hongmi began to urge the WE players to take the game seriously and play with the same attitude.

The next game is the third scrim between LGD and WE.

Zhou Dian and 957 were playing tank heroes in the top lane, getting their punches to the bone and just going for the kill!
On the other roads, the two sides also went back and forth.

To reiterate, the players on LGD are all individually quite strong. They rarely fall behind in the laning phase, and in many games, they even gain an advantage during the laning phase.

However, once the game enters the mid-game and begins to shift to other lanes for strategic gameplay...

LGD just couldn't play anymore!
The team's rhythm was fragmented, and they were constantly pulled back and forth by WE's Korean-style operations, which gradually widened the economic gap.

Zhou Dian played a tank hero, trying to lead the game and break the deadlock, but he couldn't exert any force at all.

All we can do is worry!
Moreover, the gap is huge not only in operations but also in team battles.

WE's team fight coordination is quite skillful.

LGD, on the other hand, is a disorganized mess, with everyone playing their own game!

If your strategy and team fights are inferior to your opponents, and you don't manage to dominate one lane in the early game, you'll basically lose the game gradually.

More than 30 minutes into the game, WE destroyed LGD's base crystal.
