As a top coach, Nofe naturally understands this principle.

He walked up behind Zhou Hanyang and patted him on the shoulder: "What do you think?"

“I have three solutions!” Zhou Hanyang held up three fingers.

"Which three?" Mingkai asked impatiently.

"Fiora, Sion, or AD Kennen!" Zhou Hanyang didn't keep them in suspense; with little time left, he directly stated his solution.

There's not much to say about Fiora; just go for a 4-1 split push.

In a race against WE, let's see if EDG can crush WE through the upper half of the map first, or if WE can crush EDG through the lower half!

However, with Zhou Hanyang picking Fiora, EDG will face immense pressure against WE's lineup.

We can't give them resources indiscriminately, but we also can't let WE initiate team fights too easily.

Picking Sion means going to the bottom lane at level 1, invading the enemy jungle, and then having Elise help out. They can completely dominate WE, and even if Shen and Lee Sin come down to protect them, it won't help!

AD Kennen aims to exert pressure in lane while also being able to join the team in team fights later in the game.

"What do you think?" Nofe asked Zet without further ado.

Zet didn't say anything, he just shook his head firmly at Nofe.

EDG used a strategy of using Sion to dive the bottom lane at level 1 when they played against WE in the Spring Finals.

This tactic was new to the market, so its success rate was naturally high. Plus, Zhou Hanyang was relatively unknown at the time, so Zet didn't think there was any problem.

But Zhou Hanyang is a completely different person now. Not only does he play well in the game, but he has also become a top star in the region through his many interactions with Mingkai.

In this situation, let Zhou Hanyang play Sion and let him be the bot lane's carry.

If he wins, that's fine, but if he loses, Zet can hardly imagine how much criticism he'll receive.

He might dare to think about other things, but he really wouldn't even dare to think about this...

"You can choose one yourself." After pondering for a long time, Nofe finally handed the choice back to Zhou Hanyang.

Whether it's Kennen or Fiora... Zhou Hanyang is needed to be the key to victory or defeat in this game.

"Kennian, I guess. Although AD carries have been nerfed a bit in this patch, he's still playable!" Zhou Hanyang didn't take too long to think about it.

WE's lineup lacks any late-game carry potential, which puts too much pressure on them in the early game.

Especially for two AD carries without mobility skills, it's hard to guarantee they won't make mistakes when facing Ashe's constant ultimate.

“OK, then let’s choose Kennen!” Nofe made an OK sign.

Meiko on the fifth floor immediately locked onto Kennen.

When they were exchanging heroes, Zhou Hanyang said to Meiko, "Tianye, you bring TP this game."

“TP?” Meiko was slightly taken aback.

“That’s right!” Zhou Hanyang said carefully, “You bring TP, then come with me at level 1, force Shen back and we’ll push quickly, making sure my third wave of cannon minions can push into Shen’s tower.”

I'll go back to base to buy equipment and come out to increase my pressure. Then you can TP to the bottom lane!

Mingkai, start with blue buff and gank bot lane at level 2! If the enemy sees Tahm Kench in top lane, they'll definitely push the lane into their tower in bot lane!

No matter how much Lee Sin farms, he can always avoid the first gank. He can only farm mid lane. Lee Ruichan, watch out!

"Then after I clear the blue buff, I'll ward the river bush. Li Ruichan, after you push the lane, ward the F6 camp," Mingkai said after a moment's thought.

Mingkai did not reject Zhou Hanyang's suggestion; instead, he immediately supplemented the tactics.

The spider placed a ward in the river to help Scout prevent Lee Sin from ganking.

Scout pushed the front lane and then placed a ward at F6 to prevent Lee Sin from invading.

Scout frowned almost imperceptibly upon hearing this.

If he wants to place a ward to prevent Lee Sin from invading, he can't place it immediately; he has to push the first wave of minions into LeBlanc's turret first.

However, EDG had a tactical plan in the early game. If he didn't push the minion wave forward, the minion wave would likely be blocked by LeBlanc, and he would then face the situation of being caught by Lee Sin.

If you want to avoid losing resources, you must exert pressure and trade blows in the early game to gain an advantage and push the minion wave into the tower.

"Okay!" After thinking for a moment, Scout nodded.

Zhou Hanyang was willing to pick Sion to be a carry in the bot lane, so it's only right that he tries his best to play well in lane.

After both sides selected their lineups, they entered Summoner's Rift.

At the same time, Redmi also explained some points that the players needed to pay attention to.

"Listen up, the enemy bot lane has Tahm Kench, so we're guaranteed to win whether it's 2v2 or 3v3! You guys should focus on the bot lane this game." Hongmi patted Xiye and Condi on the shoulder.

If EDG has a tanky support like Leona or Nautilus, then they definitely won't be able to win a 3v3 in the bot lane.

A 3v3 team fight is bound to start, and Ashe without crowd control will be at a huge disadvantage.

Tahm Kench, a support champion who's neither strong nor weak, is bad at both laning and team fights.

Facing the Ice, you'll only get walked around, so 2V2 or 3V3 are both advantageous.

If they can't force an engagement, then WE will have one more damage dealer than EDG.

"Understood!" Condi nodded vigorously: "I'll be staying in the bottom lane this game."

“OK! When you reach level 3, you can try to enter his jungle and put some pressure on their bottom side.” Hongmi said and then turned to leave.

"EDG!!! Go EDG!!!"

"EDG!!! Add..."

"WE!!! Go WE!!!"

"WE!!! Plus..."

"WE!!!..."

Amidst the cheers of fans from both sides, the game officially began.

[P.S.: The following text does not include the word count of the main text! If you look at the word count, you will see that it exceeds the main text by more than 2000 words!]

Many readers have asked why BLG lost to T1, and whether T1 has become stronger. In fact, T1 has not become that stronger. It's just that BLG, from the coaching staff to the players, played terribly.

Let's start with the bans from both sides. T1's Rabbit and Yone are the red side's fixed bans. They didn't want to give the Little Dragon to Left Hand! No problem!

How did BLG manage to ban Nightmare? Banning him was fine, he's one of the core champions for engaging! Banning Orianna was also fine, respecting Faker! Banning Sejuani wasn't exactly a standard ban!

The next first pick was absolutely insane; they immediately gave LeftHand an Ahri! We told you, if you can't draft, you can go back to normal, seriously! First, they took down LNG with a single shot to Orianna, and now Ahri? Ahri's strength is largely due to Vi!

Assuming Vi gets a one-shot kill, what would T1 pick? Most likely, it would be Ahri and Skarner. If T1 picks Ahri and Skarner, then BLG can pick Vi and Sylas!

If T1 doesn't take the fox, then can BLG take the fox themselves? BLG got the initial priority wrong!

Vi is stronger than Skarner in this version because, in professional opinion, Vi can engage and Skarner can't stop her, and Skarner can engage and Vi can counter Skarner.

Vi plus Sylas is definitely better than Skarner plus Ahri or Skarner plus Sylas! Because both Ahri and Sylas are lower-tier alternatives in the mid lane.

Furthermore, if you get Vi, you can pair her with Ziggs' ultimate in the bot lane for targeted burst damage! Vi has more options!

As for how well the players performed, everyone can see for themselves. Aside from Zuo Shou's consistently inconspicuous performance, the other four were all culprits. If you want to know why they were culprits, you can ask in the fan group!

From now on, this kind of content will be posted in the fan group! It won't be at the end of the main text!
