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

Chapter 88: I'm not playing anymore if I don't go for a four-protect-one strategy next game! [Please subscribe]

The blue team's base crystal exploded.

Miller shouted, "Let's congratulate LGD on winning the first game of this regular season BO3 against RNG!"

Congratulations to LGD!

Wawa continued, "To be honest, I really didn't expect this! After all, RNG has been in such good form recently, while LGD just experienced a three-game losing streak!"

"The key to the problem lies with LGD's new single player!" Miller pushed up his glasses. "This game can truly be said to have been carried by his Fiora single-handedly!"

“Yes!” Wawa nodded. “Zhou’s debut was simply amazing! He played like a world-class top laner, not like a rookie at all!”

"I don't think this is right!"

Miller countered, "Zhou made many risky decisions in this game; it was pure gambling. That's the kind of drive that only newcomers have! Top lane becomes a seasoned veteran after a while!"

"That's true!" Wawa chuckled. "Okay, let's take a look at the post-match damage panel!"

On the large screen at the venue, the replay of the highlights of the first game had ended, and the results panel was displayed.

Without a doubt, Zhou Dian's Fiora dealt the highest damage in the entire game.

Secondly, there's GodV's Orianna; this champion can easily deal significant damage with just two ultimates.

imp's Sivir was basically just coasting along in this game, her role was mainly to give her teammates a speed boost with her ultimate.

Interestingly, Uzi's Jhin, despite having the highest economy on RNG's side, only ranked third in damage output throughout the game.

Forget about Ryze who's inferior to Xiaohu.

Even lower than Mlxg's spiders.

The live stream chat was naturally filled with a fierce and chaotic discussion!
Ultimately, the MVP of the first game was awarded without any suspense to Zhou Dian's godlike performance as Fiora.

After the first game ended, LGD's official Weibo account posted a match report as usual.

The battle report had barely been sent out when the number of replies in the comments section skyrocketed.

They all need to apologize to me!

I'm sorry, Pan Jie, and I'm sorry to the entire LGD management team. I shouldn't have questioned your judgment in making player acquisitions!

[That's incredible! Where did we find this gem of a top laner?!]

[His debut was phenomenal, I can't even imagine what the future holds!]

Although MaRin is gone, his spirit remains with LGD, and has been inhabited by the new top laner, Zhou!

[It's only one game, don't be so quick to praise him! What if he's a Fiora pro? What if Fiora bans him?]

[What if he's not a Fiora pro? Dare to bet me? Loser calls me daddy!]

[That comment above is really disappointing. LGD finally won a game, what's wrong with praising our own players?]

[As expected of the optimistic family, they really are optimistic! They're overjoyed after winning one game against RNG!]

[What the hell? If you win, why don't you brag? If you lose, why don't you brag?]

【.】

The comments section of this battle report suddenly erupted into a heated argument.

All I can say is that no team that beats RNG can expect to have a peaceful day!

Not just on Weibo.

On online forums like Tieba, Anti-Pressure Bar, and Back-to-the-Fault Bar, any RNG match would also be met with a chaotic uproar.

Uzi is one of the two top traffic stars, "Pig" and "Dog".

Now that the factory manager is temporarily away from the competition, all the attention is focused on Uzi.

Of course, there are still many serious discussions about the competition on the forum.

After the first game between LGD and RNG, most of the posts seriously discussing the match were asking the same question – who is this Zhou?
For the viewers on Tieba who genuinely support LPL, they just hope that Zhou won't be a Fiora specialist who can't play other champions!
Since the "one shot, four PDDs" incident at the S3 All-Star event, the top lane position in the LPL region has been in a state of complete decline.

In subsequent World Championships, LPL suffered far too many losses in the top lane position.

It's always the top laner who gets completely destroyed!
Not only do they get crushed by LCK top laners, they also frequently get crushed by top laners from European and North American regions!
LPL desperately needs a top-tier top laner!

Zhou's debut performance showed many members of the Anti-Fighting Bar the potential of a truly top-tier top laner.

But what if this Zhou is just a Fiora pro?
Then there's no point in discussing anything further!

Backstage, LGD's rest room. As soon as the five LGD players entered, Dgc showered Zhou Dian with praise and compliments.

The absurdity of the wording was so exaggerated that even Zhou Dian was a little embarrassed.

Of course, Dgc also praised the other four as well.

Even if the other four members of LGD didn't have any highlights in this game, he could still find an angle to praise them.

Even if a coach lacks professional skills, the players don't actually dislike him.

After all, there are too many incompetent coaches in the LPL.

Few can maintain good relationships with their teammates.

During the match review, Dgc asked Zhou Dian a question:
"After that tower dive and double kill on Uzi and Ming, how did you come up with the idea of ​​going around RNG's jungle to gank Ryze in the mid lane?"

That gank that killed Ryze and destroyed RNG's mid-lane tower was the biggest turning point of the entire game.

Dgc could hear his team's conversations backstage, so he knew that no one was directing Zhou Dian; that move was Zhou Dian's own idea.

Not only was Dgc curious, but PYL was also very curious.

Having served as the team's commander for a long time, he is well aware of how rare such "sparks of inspiration" are under high-pressure competition conditions.

The vast majority of players lack inspiration on the field.

"It was a feeling!" Zhou Dian answered truthfully, "I felt I should do it, so I did it!"

Although he does have a bit of "superpowers," Zhou Dian's words are also the absolute truth.

Upon hearing this answer, PYL had only one thought.

Genius! This is a true genius born for this game!
Perhaps he really can change this problem-ridden LGD team.
Not far from LGD's rest area, in RNG's rest area.

Uzi, his face flushed, sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling of the lounge, not glancing at the coach or his teammates.

Although the first game has been over for a while, Uzi is clearly still hot!

Letme, the biggest "criminal" in the first game, sat in a corner, far away from Uzi.

Letme is a little scared now.

He was afraid that Uzi would suddenly transform into the dorm's Uzi and rush over to give him two big slaps. Two flying kicks!

Seeing the team's pathetic state, Feng Ge was too lazy to review the first game.

Let's jump straight to the second game!
"Letme, in the second game, LGD will choose sides. They'll probably pick blue. If we're on red, I'm planning to give you the fifth counter pick. Are you confident?" Feng asked Letme.

Feng Ge now has a strong sense of directness; LGD's new top laner is a Fiora specialist.

So in the next game, he plans to ban Fiora and let Letme counter her.

Feng did this mainly because he saw Letme get completely crushed in the first game.

He wanted to help his disciple regain his confidence!

That shows how much effort they put into it!

"I...I..." Letme stammered, hesitant to make up his mind.

Letme tried to say "I" twice but couldn't get it out before Uzi interrupted him.

"If they don't pick a four-protect-one strategy next game, I'm not playing!"

Uzi really couldn't hold back anymore!
If the fifth floor picks a counter-laner in the top lane, nine times out of ten you'll have to choose another damage-dealing top laner.

They got completely thrashed by those newbies, and they're still playing damage-dealing top laners!

Do you deserve it?
For Uzi, he only remembers Letme being repeatedly solo killed in lane, but he forgets that he himself was the one who really gave away a huge advantage!

Or rather, he never felt that there was anything wrong with how he played.

The problem lies with the teammates.

If you bring me Faker, Bengi, Wolf, and MaRin, how can I not win two consecutive World Championships?

Bang was just lucky!

I caught a cold from the recent sharp drop in temperature. My head is spinning and I'm feeling a bit weak, so I'll only write 7,000 words today. I'll resume 10,000-word updates tomorrow. Please take care of yourselves, dear readers, given the terrible weather!
