Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

In this version, there are very few ADC top laners. Even if you want to play against a hero with long arms, more people will choose heroes with both functionalities such as Kennen and Gnar.

So when facing Shen Lang's skateboard shoes, Theshy didn't know how to deal with it.

After Shen's equipment and level are improved, he can indeed target Skeleton Shoes well in cooperation with the jungle, but the problem Theshy faces now is how to develop?

While thinking, Skateboard Shoes quickly sent the troops into the defensive tower.

After playing so many games together, Shen Lang and the factory manager still have a very high level of tacit understanding. When Skateboard Shoes pushed the line into the tower, Zhao Xin just reached level 3 and came to the top lane.

Shen is only level 1 now. Facing a large wave of soldiers entering the tower, even though Theshy is a little nervous, he cannot just give up the soldiers and retreat. Not being able to take such a large wave of soldiers would be more painful than death.

Watching the movements of the two, Nofe behind Shen Lang nodded.

Skateboard Shoes and Xin Zhao have both reached level three. Even if Shen has flash, he is bound to die in this wave.

Even if he could exchange for a kill, Shen would still suffer a heavy loss because he couldn't reach the minion line.

The factory manager quickly went around the opposite jungle to the back of the defensive tower, and quickly walked out of the bushes, heading straight towards the Shen under the tower.

Theshy could only watch Zhao Xin approach and then use his E skill to stab him.

And at the moment when Zhao Xin attracted the hatred of the defensive tower, Shen Lang quickly took action.

Use the Q skill to insert the spear, use the passive skill to close the distance, and after triggering the talent Fatal Rhythm, attack Shen madly with normal attacks.

Faced with the two people's joint efforts, Theshy didn't even have the desire to use flash. He just released the W skill at Zhao Xin, trying to use the defensive tower to exchange kills.

stab-

Skateboard Shoes pulled out the spear, and Shen's health bar quickly reached the bottom.

Zhao Xin flashed out of the tower, but was eventually reduced to low health by the defensive tower. However, before the factory manager could be thankful, Zac's figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Ning Wang provided timely support to the top lane and successfully killed the low-health Zhao Xin.

The two sides exchanged kills. Perhaps the economic gap was not too wide, but Shen, who couldn't reach the soldiers under the tower, collapsed directly in the laning phase.

"interesting."

Nofe nodded slightly, gradually becoming serious.

At first he also thought that Shen Lang was just fooling around by choosing skateboard shoes, but judging from the current situation, the effect seems to be quite good.

Shen Lang might be able to gain an advantage against Theshy using other heroes, but it would definitely not be as exaggerated as it is now. The game lasted only about 4 minutes and the opponent had no chance to play.

"It seems that it is indeed possible to choose an ADC hero in the top lane, but the jungler needs to make adjustments and use a functional jungler to serve as the front row. And if the top lane can be played as the core, can the bottom lane not choose an ADC?"

The analyst next to him suggested.

I have to say, he does have some stuff, as he can directly predict the evolution of future versions.

Since ADC needs too long to develop, in subsequent versions of the game, many teams choose not to use ADC, and use mage or warrior heroes to cooperate with supports to go to the bottom lane.

Nofe nodded slightly.

He also felt that what the analyst said made sense, but this idea still needed time to be verified and certainly could not be put forward quickly. Now the most he could do was to let Shen Lang play an ADC hero in the top lane and let the factory manager continue to play a functional jungler.

After gaining an advantage in the top lane, Skateboards quickly snowballed.

After Shen comes online, he can't even hide under the defensive tower. If it were other heroes, they would have to worry about being attacked by the defensive tower after the soldiers enter the tower to consume health. However, Skate Shoes has no such concerns at all. He can jump out of the attack range of the defensive tower the moment A is launched, and then use the E and Q skills to consume health, which is very easy.

After Shen's health was suppressed, Xin Zhao came to the top lane again.

Skateboard Shoes signed a contract with Xin Zhao in advance, and he could put him into the Poké Ball when he released his ultimate, making it easier to kill him by crossing the tower. Sometimes, even if he was counter-ambushed by Zac, Skateboard Shoes could use his ultimate in time and nothing would happen.

……

The first training match only lasted 20 minutes, which meant we couldn’t make 15 shots now, otherwise it would have been over in 15 minutes.

This game is so torturous!

Theshy's mentality was originally very good, but after this training game, he even felt a little autistic.

"In the next scrim, if the opponent continues to use this kind of hero in the top lane, the jungler can try to choose a strong hero like Nightmare or Lee Sin."

After the training match, Kim Jeong-soo also became serious.

As a professional coach, he certainly knew that the tactics used by EDG in the last game were very suitable for Shen Lang.

Since it is difficult for Zac to target heroes like Skateboard Shoes, he can try switching to an assassin hero. If that doesn’t work, then he can only use his trump card.

After a short break, the second training match started soon.

The heroes chosen by both sides are basically the same, with only changes in the jungle position.

Ning Wang chose Nightmare in this training match, while Zz1tai chose Sejuani at the suggestion of Nofe.

“It’s quite boring!”

The factory manager who was forced to choose Pig Girl felt a little uncomfortable.

He finally gained confidence by playing as an offensive jungler in the summer finals, and thought he could return to his past and shine again, but who would have thought that Shen Lang would play as an ADC top laner again.

If a squishy hero is chosen for the top lane, he as a jungler will naturally have to play the role of front row and initiating team fights.

Just like in the first training game, Shen Lang still chose to hide in the grass in the early stage to suppress Theshy, and because of the advantage of long arms, he achieved a suppressing effect from the beginning.

Since he chose Nightmare, Ning had to farm the jungle frantically in the early stage so that he could reach level 6 as soon as possible. However, in this way, he would not be able to take care of the Shen in the top lane, which resulted in Shen's disadvantage being very obvious when Nightmare reached level 6.

After upgrading his ultimate, Ning Wang thought he could finally target the top lane.

However, just when he wanted to use his ultimate to gank, Sejuani would always appear in the vision of the top lane.

There was nothing Ning could do with Pig Girl hiding in the top lane. He certainly couldn't waste time in the top lane, so he could only shift his attention to the bottom lane.

Although Nightmare successfully ganked the bottom lane, Shen's situation did not change at all. Just like in the first training game, Shen Lang's Skateboard Shoes still developed very well.

In the final team battle, Ning Wang wanted to use his ultimate to kill Skateboard Shoes instantly. However, at this time Skateboard Shoes' equipment advantage was very obvious. After Nightmare rushed over, he not only failed to kill Skateboard Shoes instantly, but was quickly killed by Skateboard Shoes.

In the second training match, IG lost again.

Facts have proved that it is useless for the jungler to choose an assassin hero. As long as the opposing jungler focuses on the top lane, the ADC top laner can still develop.

So in the third training match, Kim Jeong-soo chose to use her trump card.

Sharingan activated, copy directly!

If you choose Skateboard Shoes as top laner, then I will choose Lucian as top laner. After all, Dad once said that only magic can defeat magic.

You know what, the effect is very good.

Theshy discovered for the first time that it was so cool to be an ADC in the top lane. Although he didn't have a particularly big advantage against Skateboard Shoes, it was not as uncomfortable as in the previous two games.

When playing Lucian, he imagined what would happen if the opponent was a warrior or a tank top laner. Theshy was pleasantly surprised to find that if he had the advantage of long arms in the early stage, he had countless ways to suppress the opponent, just like Shen Lang suppressed him in the first two games.

"As expected of Wave, they actually came up with a hero like Skateboard to go to the top lane!"

Theshy sighed inwardly.

How could he know that ADC top laner Shen Lang learned this from him.

"Brother Weiwu and Chenglu have similar styles. We can also choose the tactics chosen by the opponent. As long as we don't leak it out, we will definitely surprise the teams from other regions during the group stage."

After the third training match, Su Xiaoluo showed an excited smile on his face.

Although IG still lost this training match, the fact proved that his dog-licking behavior was worth it, otherwise how would they know this tactic? As the beneficiary, EDG would definitely not leak it out on their own initiative. If IG used this tactic in the group stage, they could at least get more points.

Both EDG and IG were very satisfied with the evening's training match. Although they did not say it directly, they tacitly agreed to keep it secret.

After today's training match, Abu never forced Shen Lang to play another training match.

The reason was simple, he was really afraid that Shen Lang would come up with something new in the training match.

After all, a training match is not a formal competition, and winning or losing is not that important. While allowing your opponent and yourself to achieve training results, you cannot leak too much information.

Maybe Shen Lang himself thinks it doesn't matter. His own strength is there and he is not afraid of others learning from him. But Abu doesn't think so. The strength gap between the teams that can enter the World Championship will definitely not be particularly large. The further the game goes, the smaller the strength gap will be. Any of your trump cards may directly affect the ownership of the championship trophy.

Shen Lang was quite happy about this and continued to play badly to get rewards from the system.

It’s a pity that the RNG players are unwilling to play Chicken with him again. The qualifying round has already begun. Even if they are confident, the RNG players will not play other games on the match day.

The S8 qualifying round will be held in Seoul, while the group stage will be held in Busan, and the qualifying round will be held 10 days in advance, which means that when RNG is already fighting in Seoul, EDG and IG are still in the country.

In fact, there is really no suspense in the qualifying round. We can almost know which teams will advance to the group stage before the game starts.

There are 12 teams in the qualifying round, divided into 3 groups. The top two teams in points will advance to the knockout stage through a double round-robin system, and then the first and second place teams in the group will play a Bo5 match to compete for four places to advance to the group stage.

In the group stage of the qualifying round, RNG won all four games and successfully advanced to the knockout stage. In the subsequent knockout stage, they faced DFM from the Japanese region.

With the blessing of bloodline, RNG still maintained its winning streak, successfully defeated DFM with a score of 3:0, and was the first to qualify for the group stage.

The 10-day competition quickly came to an end, and the four teams that advanced to the group stage were announced:

C9, G2, RNG, GRX.

"The intensity of this year's World Championship is really high!"

After watching the qualifying round, Abu sighed.

In the past, there was still a gap in strength between the teams that advanced from the qualifying round and the teams that were directly promoted to the group stage. However, this season, whether it is RNG, G2, or even C9, they have shown good strength, with only GRX slightly worse.

After the qualifying round, the list of teams for the group stage will be determined.

The LPL region is EDG, IG, and RNG.

The LCK region is KT, AFS, and GEN.G.

The EU region is FNC, VIT, and G2.

The NA region is TL, 100T, and C9.

The rest are Flash Wolves and MAD from the LMS region, and GRX and PVB from the CIS region.

Before the group stage began, the EDG team arrived in Busan on the club's private plane.

It has to be said that the e-sports atmosphere in South Korea is still very strong. The hotels where the players are staying have already been decorated with League of Legends theme culture in advance. Before the group stage started, there were already many young ladies wearing League of Legends themed Cosplay costumes wandering around the streets.

After arriving in South Korea, Shen Lang's bad behavior immediately changed.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is not interesting anymore, and Honor of Kings is not fun either. In comparison, the girls on the street are so attractive.

"This Ahri is so white, and that Sona next to her, wow, I feel like she can suffocate me to death!"

Shen Lang sat by the window of the hotel's training room, watching and commenting.

The other players were training well, listening to his words, their hearts unconsciously following Shen Lang's description and running outside.

"What's wrong with you? You're still young and you don't learn well. People of your age should focus on their careers and think about how to achieve better results on the field, instead of comparing which girl on the street is bigger or taller..."

Listening to Shen Lang's description, Abu walked up to him with a serious face and criticized him righteously.

"What is the tattoo on the chest of the girl who cosplays as Sona?"

Shen Lang asked quickly.

Abu said without hesitation: "It's a butterfly, and there is an English word next to it!"

"Wow!!"

Shen Lang wanted to laugh: "We live on the 7th floor. Manager, you have really good eyesight!"

"Cough-cough-"

Abu finally reacted and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"I didn't look at Sona's breasts, nor did I look at Ahri's legs. No... I mean... you should know what I mean..."

He began to speak incoherently.

"Oh--"

Shen Lang nodded meaningfully: "So while you were looking at Sona's breasts, you were also paying special attention to Ahri's legs. You are worthy of being a coach. Your awareness is really outstanding. You can actually see so many things in such a short time. I have to learn from you!"

"Get out of here!"

Abu shouted angrily, turned around and walked towards other contestants, muttering something like "I didn't see it", "I just glanced at Liang", "I don't mean anything else, I just want to criticize"...
