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

"Then there's absolutely no need to choose red, right? Wouldn't blue be better?" Abu was clearly intrigued by Zhou Hanyang's little trick and raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

"We, the red side, can start with our mid and bot lane carries. If the opponent picks a squishy support first, we can start with Leona. Otherwise, we can start with Ivern. If we start with Ivern, the opponent will definitely pick Caitlyn."

Zhou Hanyang didn't answer Abu's question, but instead said confidently, "In the late game, Ivern can plant bushes for Tristana, and then build an Ardent Censer to shield her. As long as we successfully drag the game into the late game, we're guaranteed to win!"

Ivern and Caitlyn are also a classic combination. Placing traps in the bushes can prevent them from being caught, and it can also double the speed at which Caitlyn's passive stacks.

However, the combination of Tristana and Ivern is also a classic pairing, and it is very suitable for the current Ardent Censer meta.

The Incense Burner item wasn't fully developed until the S7 World Championship.

However, Riot Games had already buffed Ardent Censer before the start of the S7 Spring Split playoffs.

Furthermore, the Incense Burner equipment was never touched in subsequent version updates.

The reason why the Incense Burner system has not been fully developed yet is mainly due to the issues of the jungler and support roles.

Although Abu is not currently EDG's coach, he has coached for several years and instantly understood the meaning behind Zhou Hanyang's words. He picked up his water glass, took a sip, and asked with some curiosity, "So what are you planning to pick for the counter pick?"

"Skateboard shoes!" Zhou Hanyang finally revealed his true intentions.

[P.S.: Please stop criticizing!]

[PS: Kalista was invincible in S7, but only at Worlds! Nobody picked Kalista in the S7 Spring Split! Before the Worlds patch, nobody realized how powerful Ardent Censer was! LCK was experimenting with Ashe support in scrims, Europe and North America were experimenting with Ezreal jungle, LPL was experimenting… and in what way did they get completely crushed by the fully-formed IG! EDG picked Lucian three times at the S7 World Championship, and they still got crushed by IG in scrims!]

"Pfft..." Abu spat out a mouthful of water.

Everyone else stared at Zhou Hanyang in disbelief.

His forehead was covered in all sorts of question marks.

There was only one thought in their minds.

Is this guy crazy?

This isn't the LPL of later years where AD carries dominate the top lane; the current top lane meta is still dominated by two tanky champions pulling each other's hair.

In the past, there was the old version of Pantheon, the father of AD carries, and in the present, there are the three god-tier top laners: Poppy, Maokai, and Nautilus. In the current version, none of them are afraid of AD carries in the top lane!

“If the enemy picks a Fizz, we’ll use this tactic.” Zhou Hanyang continued quickly before Abu could object: “If the enemy top laner picks a tank, then I can pick Jax, Gnar, Jayce, Fiora, or even Gangplank.”

In the current version, Fizz has received a buff.

However, this champion is not suitable for the mid lane; instead, he is better suited for the top lane to bully various tanks. His role and positioning are somewhat similar to the previous top lane Ekko.

"How confident are you?" Abu asked after a moment of contemplation, seeing that Zhou Hanyang's words were reasonable and not like a joke. "The enemy top laner is also very strong."

“Letme… I know.” Zhou Hanyang gave a slight, “refined and easygoing” smile, his dark eyes gleaming, his face full of confidence: “I can kill him like killing a pig.”

You little brat, who are you trying to implicate?

Mingkai gave Zhou Hanyang a death stare.

Abu paused for a moment, then looked at Mingkai and asked with great seriousness, "Are you sure you want to play top and jungle? We've never done it before."

"Give it a try, maybe we can catch our opponents off guard." Mingkai spread his hands: "Anyway, in the Korean server, we just dominate."

“Okay!” Abu nodded affirmatively: “Then let’s give it a try.”

Meiko felt a slight itch on her head, as if something had grown there, and her scalp felt numb.

“?” ADC_Zet was equally dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on?

Scout, on the other hand, had a smile on his face.

Compared to Ai Luoli, he clearly prefers Mingkai as a jungler.

Ai Luoli has too many of her own ideas, while Mingkai is better at recognizing and supporting her father.

With Mingkai playing jungle, he'll have a much more comfortable game.

Although he and Mingkai have had many controversies, no matter how they play, the final result of Mingkai jungling is to support his teammate, only the process is different.

Nofe, who wanted to say something, was also completely bewildered as Abula kicked him out.

When Nofe returned, he gave Zhou Hanyang a very serious look.

This god who spent the entire Spring Split on the bench for EDG has been building up his strength all along, and today he finally made a big one.

EDG, pushed to the brink by RNG, could only watch helplessly as this huge obstacle climbed onto their path.

Otherwise, they would have fallen off the cliff.

Ai Luoli's expression was quite unpleasant. He was extremely unhappy. It was clearly the mid-laner's fault, so why was he made to leave the game?

Top laner A-Guang is the most frustrated!

This was clearly a solo match between your mid and jungle, so why is my guy a substitute?

knock!

Lose by lying down.

Damn it!

After a brief discussion, everyone quickly took their seats.

Since Zhou Hanyang was a substitute, there were no fancy entrance ceremonies for him.

They went directly to the athletes' seats to adjust the equipment.

While Zhou Hanyang was adjusting the equipment, the baby's voice echoed throughout the venue:

"I'd like to share some news with everyone: EDG has chosen the red side in this game and has also changed their top and jungle positions."

Clearlove7 is playing jungle, and Attack is playing top lane!!!

Cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Factory manager, factory manager, factory manager!"

The audience at the scene were chanting Mingkai's nickname.

Viewers in the official live stream were also spamming the chat with comments.

"7777777!!!"

"A war between pigs and dogs—how can it work if there are only dogs and no pigs?"

"The pigs have finally arrived! Now we can have some fun."

"The factory manager sent the miscellaneous goods home early this morning, 3-0."

"?????"

"66666666!"

All eyes were on Mingkai.

As for Zhou Hanyang, a newcomer, he naturally went unnoticed.

"I wonder if the factory manager can help EDG turn the tide after he comes on," Miller said with a smile. "After all, the factory manager has given us quite a few memorable moments."

“That’s right! The factory manager’s jungle planning and design often gives people a refreshing feeling.” Wawa nodded in agreement.

"Alright! We're now in the draft phase, both sides are starting the draft!" Guan Zeyuan was full of curiosity: "EDG has chosen the red side this game, I wonder what kind of strategy they're hiding?"

Hopefully, EDG can step up their game and drag the match into a decisive game, allowing us all to enjoy the excitement of the match. The game ends with one ban round for both sides.

RNG, on the blue side, banned LeBlanc, Gragas, and Jarvan IV. It's clear RNG is targeting Clearlove! EDG, on the other hand, banned Ashe, Elise, and Rengar.

"Should RNG pick Fizz?" Wawa couldn't help but ask. "The draft picks for both sides haven't changed much from the last game. RNG can just stick to the same strategy."

"I think we can take it, no problem." Guan Zeyuan's voice had barely fallen when RNG immediately locked in on Xiaoyu: "Haha...we took it as expected."

"RNG won the last game, so it wouldn't make sense for them not to take this one and let the opponent win." Miller shook his head slightly: "Let's see what EDG's rookie players are going to use."

Seeing RNG decisively pick Fizz again, Zhou Hanyang shook his head slightly.

RNG's current coach is the renowned Feng Ge.

He was the one who let Galio pass five times in the S7 World Championship!

He was the one who picked Brand in the S5 World Championship!

This kind of coach is one of the highest level coaches in the LPL right now.

It's easy to imagine what kind of lousy coaches are currently serving in the LPL.

Zhou Hanyang, who seems to have traveled back from the S14 World Championship, possesses a game understanding that is simply a game-changing advantage over current professional players.
