Believe me, I really am a professional League of Legends player.

Chapter 70 You're so amazing! You should have said so earlier! (Please subscribe)

"EDG is on the blue side, NB is on the red side!"

"EDG's support rate is still ridiculously high, 96% support rate, which completely overshadows the health bar."

The criticism on Weibo and Tieba is fierce, but EDG is still a veteran powerhouse team. As long as their performance in this year's World Championship is not as outrageous as last year's, these fans are still quite loyal, provided that other LPL teams don't achieve good results.

This is why... EDG's management would rather give up their IEM spot than give it to another team.

What we're afraid of is that they'll perform brilliantly in this world championship and steal our thunder.

This is not an isolated case. For example, WE was ranked last in the LPL at the time, but they defeated so many top teams. Even though they lost to TSM in the finals and took second place, the WE club was on the verge of collapse. But they made a huge comeback, and many people remembered that they were once WE fans and started to support WE again.

It was under these circumstances that WE was given the opportunity to be reborn, completed a complete overhaul, became the current 2.0 version, and is now leading Group B.

Based on their current performance, they are a strong favorite to win the championship and have a very good chance of competing for a spot in the global finals.

In conclusion, the blitzkrieg against Poland was indeed unethical, but it certainly benefited EDG.

"Let's take a look at the first round of hero selections for both sides," Su Xiaoyan said, looking at the big screen.

"EDG has banned Camille, Gragas, and Graves."

"NB removed the Mantis, Treant Protector, and Excavator..."

"EDG's ban, the blue side chose to ban Camille, has Mouse still not mastered Camille?" Changmao's voice rang out throughout the arena through the speakers.

EDG fans couldn't help but frown.

This is EDG's tactical style, as everyone knows. They won't take it even if it's released, so they certainly can't let NB take it.

Even though Camille has indeed been nerfed, she is still a Tier 1 top laner, just not as dominant as before.

Even after developing, it remains extremely abnormal!
It wasn't until the playoffs version that it completely fell into the gutter.

However, Riot's rework of Galio gave her a new lease on life, and she gained many more opportunities to appear in subsequent matches.

"So that means LeBlanc is out of the question. Will EDG pick LeBlanc this game?"

NB's match seat.

The coach frowned.

"Don't worry, so what if he picks LeBlanc? Ranked games are ranked games, and professional matches are professional matches. Zz1tai is just a top laner who switched to mid lane, what level can he possibly have? He only managed to get some results early on because of his item build. Essentially, LeBlanc is no longer viable. Don't try to create an item disadvantage; just suppress LeBlanc, and you've already won half the game." Wu-Zhuangtai's tone was extremely confident.

He couldn't wait for Li Fan to immediately build a heroine and then brutally beat his opponent.

I'm targeting your main champion. Aren't all the people online praising how good you are at LeBlanc?
"Okay..." Hearing Wu-Zhuang's confidence, he still chose to trust his teammate.

The EDG team was also discussing which hero to pick first.

"Li Fan, you go out to the middle lane first."

"How about we get Lee Sin for the factory manager first? The other team's Lee Sin with Ten Thousand Volts is also very good," Li Fan suggested.

"The opposing team is also very good at LeBlanc, so let's pick a mid-lane champion first."

If you pick Lee Sin, there are many heroes that can synergize with him in the mid lane. If you pick LeBlanc first, then there are fewer heroes that Clearlove can use in the jungle.

"Alright, let Li Fan take the Demoness." The factory manager thought for a moment.

I only saw Li Fan's LeBlanc in ranked matches last time, and there were no problems with any details. It was clear that his proficiency was very high.

Since they're skilled, there's nothing to worry about. They play very well together in PUBG.

Since both the factory manager and the coach said so, Li Fan naturally didn't say anything more.

Since everyone trusts me so much, I'm definitely going to carry this game!

"The Black Rose will bloom again!"

"LeBlanc! EDG really locked in LeBlanc! Unreal is so confident." Su Xiaoyan actually thought that if EDG had played it safe, they should have first picked the jungler.

NB's current strategy revolves around the jungler, making him the team's carry.

It worked quite well in the previous version, but it's not nearly as good in the current version, which is why the performance isn't improving.

When a team relies entirely on the jungler, its potential is destined to be limited.

If there's a mid-laner who drags the team down, then it's all over. As for the AD carry, according to the League of Legends meta, their role will only become less and less important, because the average game time is now controlled at around 30 minutes, but that's simply not enough time for an AD carry to develop.

Regardless of the version, the mid lane has always been the key to winning or losing a game.

"NB locked in Lee Sin and Syndra on the first and second floors. Their mid-jungle strength is so high. There are no Kha'Zix or Rek'Sai now. Will Clearlove pick Rengar?"

The fact that the factory manager's Rengar was played less frequently in the Spring Split is indeed related to Rengar, since in previous versions Rengar was either banned or picked.

That's obviously not an option...

The camera then panned to the EDG booth, where it was clear they had been discussing things for quite some time.

EDG locked in Jarvan IV and Ashe on the second and third floors.

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I've seen the factory manager's prince."

NB has a very aggressive mid-jungle duo, and they played it safe on the third floor, picking Shen to act as a protector.

In the second round of bans, NB immediately picked the top lane champion.

Titan and Gragas were banned.

EDG targeted the bottom lane, banning Varus and Caitlyn, two champions that Ashe has difficulty dealing with.

The hero selection process was quick from there. NB chose to leave the support role for Kang, and the fourth pick was Lucian.

EDG then secured Lulu and Cho'Gath in the top lane.

"Yeah, EDG's bot lane is pretty strong. The Ashe and Lulu combo is fearless against anyone. If Lucian wants to lane, even Braum might not be able to gain an advantage."

"Yes, but since Lucian has already been released, it's more likely to be Braum."

As expected, the fifth hero was hesitated for a long time before finally locking in Braum.

You can still have a chance with Braum, but other bot lane matchups will be tough.

"It's locked in, Braum! So the main battle between the two teams' lineups is the mid and jungle. Whichever side gains an advantage in the mid and jungle will have a much better chance of winning this game."

"However, Lee Sin and Syndra are still stronger than LeBlanc and Jarvan IV, mainly because they have a stronger burst damage..."

"..."

The three commentators in the commentary booth kept discussing the lineups of both sides, and the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room also discussed it.

The two coaches have already come to the center of the stage to shake hands.

Both sides then entered the map reading phase.

Blue side EDG: Top lane Cho'Gath, Jungle Jarvan IV, Mid lane LeBlanc, Bot lane duo Ashe and Lulu.

Red team NB: Top lane Shen, Jungle Lee Sin, Mid lane Syndra, Bot lane duo Lucian and Braum.

The audience at the scene, under the guidance of the officials, began to cheer for the two teams.

"EDG come on!"

"EDG come on!"

Go NB!

Go NB!

Of course, the difference in volume also reveals the difference in the number of fans from both sides present.

It's no exaggeration to say that 50% of the people in the audience were there for EDG. "I believe both teams have felt the enthusiasm of the fans. Let's get into the match." As soon as Changmao finished speaking, the big screen switched to Summoner's Rift, where both teams' players, having already purchased their equipment, rushed out of the fountain almost simultaneously.

Although both sides were positioned in a long, straight line, the atmosphere was extremely tense, especially in the bottom lane duo, where Ashe and Lulu began to relentlessly pressure each other.

Lucian Braum is very weak in level 1 combat, but lowering his health will give him a good advantage in the laning phase.

A barrage of icy arrows struck Lucian, while Lulu followed up with additional damage, relentlessly attacking him all the way.

Braum is like an incompetent husband; after casting his Q skill, he can't do anything else.

Seeing his low health, Lin Weixiang had no choice but to go home to replenish his health.

That's right, the NB bot lane duo is the S9 World Championship winning combination, Lwx and Lqs...

However, these two brothers aren't doing too well in the NBA right now and are still learning.

Upon seeing the situation on the road, the factory manager immediately changed his mind.

He directly invaded NB's lower jungle and actively exchanged jungle areas. He didn't intend to let NB's lower jungle have an easy time; he wanted to make things difficult for them until they reached level three.

If you successfully gain an advantage in the bottom lane, you can then focus all your efforts on the mid lane.

As for the upper half of the bracket, mouse, playing the big bug, knows exactly what to do.

If the enemy team manages to kill him, we really need to consider switching to a different top laner.

Faced with such a radical factory manager, 100,000 Volt felt truly unfamiliar...

But all I can do is give my teammates a signal.

"You guys be careful in the bottom lane, I won't be able to come down until I reach level four." Although Ten Thousand Volts is Korean, his Chinese is quite good, and he has no problem communicating in daily life and during matches.

Li Fan originally thought that Wuzhuangtai would be very aggressive, but to his surprise, the opponent chose to play cautiously at level one.

It's understandable, considering his demoness always carries a longsword.

Syndra has relatively short skill cooldowns, but LeBlanc has mobility. If Syndra misses a skill and gets hit by a basic attack, she will definitely be at a disadvantage in a level 1 fight.

Judging from this, he plans to wait for the minions to arrive before engaging in the laning phase.

But it's not that easy...

Since you're not coming up, then I'm going to come in.

Li Fan directly controlled the demones to press down on them.

Wu Zhuangtai frowned. "Are they taking advantage of me?"
Will you still dare to do this once the minions reach the lane? You retreated all the way back to behind the mid lane.

Li Fan continued to suppress...

Wu Zhuang was furious and retreated into the turret. He had to wait for LeBlanc to use her skill first, otherwise he would get stomped for nothing if his Q was dodged, and he would lose a lot of health if he was hit by Thunderlord's Decree.

Fortunately, the minions arrived at that moment, and Wu-Zhuangtai wanted to come out with them.

He refused to believe that the opponent would dare to cross the minion wave and fight him like that, and with renewed confidence, he raised his hand to perform a basic attack!
Li Fan didn't bother with any of that nonsense and blocked Syndra's path to the online arena.

AW stepped on it, and then LeBlanc lightly used her basic attack to unleash Thunderclap.

Wu Zhuangtai was prepared and pressed the Q skill to hit LeBlanc, but the next second the W skill was activated and he went back.

Seeing that he had lost two whole bars of health, how could he possibly swallow this insult? Without saying a word, he chased after him.

To Wu-Zhuang's surprise, the Enchantress didn't retreat but instead moved diagonally downwards, incidentally landing a basic attack on him.

A healer who goes out with a longsword will definitely not lose out in this blood exchange.

So bold!

I still have soldiers around me!

Seeing the ranged minion turn its head to attack the LeBlanc, WuZhuangDai began to estimate the damage.

Three ranged minions can deal more damage than a longsword, and his subsequent skills will soon be off cooldown, allowing him to once again demonstrate the oppressive power of Syndra.

Basic attack launched...

The enchantress then attacked him.

Another basic attack was launched, followed by the Q skill aimed at LeBlanc's feet.

The next second, Wuzhuangtai's smile vanished, and he missed again! He missed two skills in a row!

And what's with these minions? I clearly saw them turn around and an exclamation mark appeared, but then they turned back. Why didn't they attack the LeBlanc?

His two basic attacks only took away 74 points of the heroine's health.

The enchantress, wielding a longsword, managed to take away ninety points from him.

This back and forth resulted in another loss; my health bar dropped to 270, and I was down to half health by the time we met!

Wu Zhuangtai looked at his Q skill, which only had three seconds left to cool down, and the surrounding minions, and gritted his teeth, refusing to believe it was bad luck!
Li Fan smiled. He knew that Syndra players all had this characteristic: they always felt that their Q skill had a short cooldown of four seconds, so they would definitely gain an advantage in the subsequent trades.

Of course... there were also assists from the minions.

Li Fan touched him twice more, and his health dropped to 180.

Wuzhuangtai's heart tightened, and he quickly took a potion, then raised his hand and pressed the Q skill again...

Empty again!
His whole face darkened and he looked extremely ugly.

They dared not continue playing like this any longer and could only retreat backwards, only to be chased down and tapped twice by Li Fan along the way.

This means that the medicine you just drank was essentially wasted...

Syndra's health remained around 280.

The Demoness took five basic attacks, and even with the lightning from her basic attacks, she only lost 210 points of health, keeping her health at just over half, not to mention she still had three health potions.

To lower Wu Zhuang's guard, Li Fan also refrained from taking drugs.

When your health is low, the opponent won't be as wary.

Those who witnessed the entire event were stunned.

what happened?

Syndra is supposed to be a lane bully, right? How come she got beaten up like this at level 1?

Abu excitedly stood up from his seat.

Excitedly taking pictures of the fast-moving stars.

"Beautiful! Beautiful!"

Quick Star was feeling conflicted and didn't know what to say.

Are you really that good? If you are, you should have said so earlier. Why are you just slacking off every day?
If you had shown your talent earlier, you would have been given the opportunity to play.

Scout is a real piece of trash; he wasted so many opportunities.

If Li Fan had been brought on earlier, we would have had a much better chance of winning those previous matches.

How could such an embarrassing situation have occurred?
……

In the commentary box.

Su Xiaoyan was excited.

"Unreal's LeBlanc has an extremely strong laning ability, and she actually exerted such an exaggerated amount of pressure at level one."
