Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

EDG's Scout (Yazuru) has killed Snake's Ohq (Archer)!

EDG's Scout (Yazuru) has killed Snake's Kryst4l (Blitzcrank)!!!

Doublekill!

EDG's Scout has killed Snake's Sofm!

Triplekill!!!

With three kills secured, Yasuo's development speed far surpasses that of the rest of the team.

EDG's operational capabilities are already unmatched.

In this game, EDG still used a teamfight-oriented lineup, while Snake had a Fiora, who needed a long time to split push and farm.

Snake's match against EDG was like an LPL team facing an LCK team with superior macro-management; they were constantly outmaneuvered and their economic advantage was amplified by the team's macro-management.

If Snake's AD carry were another champion with mobility, they might have been able to put up a fight.

But Snake had Varus in this game, and he had no way to survive against Camille, Gragas, and Yasuo charging in.

In team fights, Snake was basically destroyed with the slightest touch.

Within 20 minutes, EDG used Baron Nashor to force a team fight, forcing Fiora into the front line. Once Fiora was back to split pushing and farming, the team fight broke out head-on.

By the time Fiora arrived at the front, Snake already had two casualties.

Faced with this situation, Snake did not give up. Instead, two of them harassed the enemy while the remaining Sejuani went in to steal the Baron.

However, EDG's AD carry in this game was Kalista, and Snake had no chance to contest Baron Nashor. EDG secured Baron, and Sejuani was eliminated in the Baron pit.

At this point, the game entered garbage time, and EDG easily took down Snake in 32 minutes!

In the second game, Snake had the right to choose sides and chose the red side.

Although Flandre got the counter pick and chose a counter hero, he barely came to the top lane in the first game, but in the second game he practically stayed in the top lane.

For professional players, the so-called counter relationship is never so absolute.

Even the factory manager couldn't handle one wave of Holy Gun Brother's attacks, let alone several waves in a row. Once Zhou Hanyang gained the advantage, he was the type to be unforgiving.

They simply used their advantage on the sidelines to completely break down Snake's defense.

This was Snake's first time facing Zhou Hanyang in an official match, and they finally understood why SKT was completely outmatched at MSI.

The first game was alright, but the second game completely stunned them.

In the end, EDG easily swept Snake 2-0, giving Snake no chance to fight back.

After EDG defeated Snake on June 11, they finally had a few days to catch their breath.

For three consecutive days, from the 12th to the 14th, EDG had no matches.

It wasn't until June 15th that EDG finally had another match.

Their opponent today is IM!

Although IM made a three-level leap in 16, it completely collapsed after 17.

Aside from Huya Four Dogs AJ in the top lane, there's only one AD carry I'm familiar with: Jinjiao, who hasn't switched to support yet.

There are basically no images of the other people, including Zhou Hanyang, in later generations.

EDG easily defeated IM, even more easily than they defeated Snake.

Snake at least has some fighting power; they just don't know how to operate it.

However, IM is EDG's second team, and EDG is extremely familiar with its operational logic and coaching staff.

When IM's operational logic fails to work against EDG, it becomes completely powerless.

After defeating IM, EDG easily secured their third consecutive victory.

On June 17th, EDG finally faced their first true challenger in the Summer Split.

An Instagram account that is weaving its own cocoon, preparing to transform!

Since the match on June 17th was at 4 PM, the EDG players didn't need to rush.

After having lunch, we set off together for the competition venue at 2 p.m.

Amidst the cheers of fans and spectators, they entered the lounge area inside the competition venue.

The first match was between IM and DAN.

Both of these teams have already been defeated by EDG, and today they faced off.

In the end, DAN easily defeated IM 2-0!

After the two teams finished their matches, it was EDG's turn to play.

"I'm emphasizing this again: today's match must revolve around the top lane. Unless you're in a particularly bad situation, try not to call for help from the jungler, especially in the bottom lane!"

In EDG's rest area, Nofe reiterated to the bot lane duo: "You guys need to maintain good vision... because you not only need to guard against the jungler's ganks, but also prevent the mid laner from ganking your bot lane to steal kills and accelerate their own development! Especially when Song Yijin picks an assassin!"

"understood!"

"clear!"

The bot lane duo immediately nodded.

"Try to hold off Song Yijin in the mid lane as much as possible and prevent him from roaming," Nofe ordered Scout again.

“I understand, I understand…” Scout nodded patiently.

“Gao Zhenning especially likes to gank unexpectedly. Keep an eye on him as much as possible and report his movements to your teammates.” Nofe looked at Mingkai.

"OK!" Mingkai gave an OK sign.

"As long as we don't make any major mistakes in the laning phase, we're definitely stronger than IG in terms of macro play. By expanding our economic advantage through macro play, even if IG becomes stronger later on, they won't be a match for us." Nofe reiterated the method to defeat IG.

After Nofe finished speaking, his gaze finally fell on Nofe: "Zhou Hanyang, is there anything else you need to add?"

"No, no!" Zhou Hanyang waved his hand and said with an embarrassed smile.

The reason why Nofe and even the entire EDG team are so on high alert today is entirely because Zhou Hanyang said something unintentionally when everyone was discussing today's draft and tactical system the day before yesterday.

'SKT in S5 was the strongest top-mid-jungle duo I've ever heard of, and IG with TheShy was the strongest top-mid-jungle duo I've ever faced!'

As soon as Zhou Hanyang said that, everyone in EDG tensed up instantly.

Are you kidding me?

Zhou Hanyang didn't give such an evaluation when playing against SKT at MSI.

The result of beating IG is surprising, given this kind of evaluation.

Doesn't this mean that IG's top, mid, and jungle are even stronger than SKT's?

This is what led to the current situation.

Seeing this, Zhou Hanyang could only smile wryly.

2017 and 2018 were indeed Rookie's peak years.

Among all the mid laners in the previous LPL era, he ranked first in almost all statistics, except for his economic share, which ranked third from the bottom.

His economic share is third from the bottom, but that doesn't mean he has a problem in lane.

His 15-minute economic lead is as high as 387, ranking first.

In the previous game, Scout was in second place after leading the economy for 15 minutes!

But by how much is Scout's lead? 217!

Rookie's lead can be described as precipitous.

This data is the best indicator of laning strength.

In this version without plating, the game was basically just laning for the first 15 minutes.

However, compared to Rookie, neither Ning nor TheShy has reached their peak yet.

Although TheShy is at his peak in the laning phase, he is willing to die if he dares to gank.

Ning currently doesn't know how to protect TheShy, help him expand his advantage, and at the same time expand his own advantage.

Without Kim Jung-soo to help IG organize its system and structure, no matter how strong IG is, it will ultimately just be a slightly disorganized mess!
