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

Although RNG had a late-game composition, they were quickly outpaced by Taliyah, falling into a huge disadvantage in the mid-game. Before their late-game composition could even start to exert its power, the game was already over.

With OMG and EDG each securing a win, LPL viewers are practically popping champagne, feeling that their chances of winning the Intercontinental Cup are practically guaranteed.

Unexpectedly, before the champagne could even be opened and the celebration could begin, it was immediately reduced to its original state.

The audience members who had just stood up were all shouting "Damn it!" as they sat back down.

The viewers in the official live stream really came up with all sorts of creative ways to criticize RNG.

"It's common knowledge that everyone masturbates, which is unfair to airplanes."

"Who said Hakimi is a tiger? Hakimi is clearly a cat."

"Impersonating a mid-laner, impersonating a professional player, impersonating a plane, impersonating a human."

"????????"

"No stains, a good loss, a brilliant loss, a resounding loss."

"The draft picks? Are you making yourself dizzy? Every time I watch RNG's draft picks, it feels like I'm on a car ride! I get carsick after watching them."

"666666!!!"

"EDG gave you the answer to the current version, so why didn't you just copy it? Why did you have to show off your own interpretation?"

"EDG's emergence made me think that the LPL had become stronger. But judging from these two matches, it's only EDG that has become stronger, not the LPL!"

……

After losing the match against AHQ, the RNG players were all dejected and returned to the rest room.

The four teams began a joint review of today's matches.

The two games we won before weren't too bad; the comments were mostly about the aspects we did well.

The main focus is on the last two matches. If we lose those two matches, then we must point out the areas where we didn't perform well.

Basically, whichever team loses, their own coach is responsible for reviewing the game; the coaches of other teams are not expected to do so.

Mingzhe stood in front and asked OMG's jungler Jiekou, "Why didn't you gank top this game?"

"Huh?" Jiekou looked completely bewildered: "I got caught this round?"

"When did you catch him? This Rambo only died 3 times by the end of the game. If you caught him, how could his stats be like this?"

Mingzhe was furious: "I told you before the match started that we should gank top this game, gank top this game..."

"I want to gank top too, but the bot lane keeps calling me, and the mid lane keeps calling me too. How can I gank top?" Jiekou said, feeling very aggrieved.

He has the lowest status in the team. No matter who calls him, he has to respond, otherwise he will be lectured for not communicating.

However, in his communication, he couldn't say that he wanted to focus on the top and couldn't go to the middle or lower levels.

Upon hearing Jiekou's words, Mingzhe fell silent, unsure of how to proceed.

If he continues to lecture Jiekou at this point, it could easily affect the team's atmosphere.

At that time, the LPL was far less formalized than it would become later. Teams were mostly comprised of internet addicts who would start fighting at the drop of a hat.

Taking a bath with a red temperature was just a regular occurrence for them.

It is precisely for this reason that Ah Shui has earned the reputation of having a 'great character'.

It's just a matter of grabbing someone; can't Jiekou do that? He definitely can.

However, when he grabs the top, the middle and bottom must willingly cooperate with his actions, otherwise problems will arise within the team.

Mingzhe spent a long time reviewing the situation on stage, but he couldn't come up with anything conclusive, and the fundamental problem remained unresolved.

Zhou Hanyang shook his head, somewhat understanding why OMG, despite having a very good roster, couldn't even qualify for the World Championship.

After OMG's replay, it was RNG's turn.

Similarly, RNG didn't come up with anything significant from their replay; Feng Ge basically just kept repeating the same things over and over.

Why didn't you signal when the mid laner disappeared?

Or maybe the mid laner has disappeared after sending signals. Why didn't you leave this wave?

Another question is why we didn't prepare the field of vision in advance.

It's all just empty talk.

After the debriefing session, the coaches began a joint discussion.

Hongmi was the first to step forward. His gaze fell on Zhou Hanyang, and he said, "OMG chose a pure early-to-mid-game composition, while RNG opted for a mid-to-late-game teamfight composition. Both teams lost. What are your thoughts on this?"

When Hongmi said these words, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Hanyang's face.

Although he didn't name names, everyone understood what Hongmi meant.

The translator translated Redmi's words into Chinese, while Zhou Hanyang sighed silently in his heart.

At this moment, there are not only coaches here, but also players from four teams. He has to say something, otherwise he may be dragged into trouble later.

While negative traffic is still traffic, he doesn't want to have negative traffic so early.

Moreover, compared to Feng Ge and Ming Zhe, he was more willing to communicate with Redmi.

"The early-to-mid-game lineups that everyone usually talks about can actually be divided into two types." Zhou Hanyang slowly stood up and said to Hongmi, "One type is where the individual heroes are relatively strong, but there are no heroes that can coordinate well in team fights."

For example, top lane Quinn, top lane Lucian... The second type is champions who are not only strong in lane but also able to coordinate well with teammates in team fights. For example, Renekton, and Kalista...

The first scenario's early-game lineup naturally requires establishing an early advantage and acquiring a significant economic lead. This allows them to leverage the equipment advantage gained in team fights and secure victory. However, the second early-game lineup doesn't necessarily require an economic advantage.

After hearing Zhou Hanyang's previous words, everyone's expressions remained normal.

But when they heard the last sentence, everyone looked slightly taken aback.

A lineup for the early to mid-game, but doesn't need an economic advantage?

What kind of joke is this?

The translator relayed Zhou Hanyang's words to Hongmi, who immediately nodded, signaling Zhou Hanyang to continue.

"A hero's strength is actually a lead in combat power!" Zhou Hanyang continued, "Whether it's the player's skill advantage, the combination skills between heroes, or the lead in equipment and level, it all comes down to a lead in combat power."

It's true that the fighting power of heroes decreases gradually in the mid-to-late game, as everyone knows. Take Kalista as an example: assuming Kalista is strong in the early game, her fighting power will start to decline around the 25-minute mark.

However, the fact that Kalista's fighting ability has declined at this point only indicates that he is not as strong as before, not that he is too weak to participate in team fights. Similarly, let's assume that Kalista is facing off against Twitch.

So, at the 25-minute mark, Twitch should be at his peak fighting ability. With both sides having similar farm, this is the perfect time for their fighting power to converge. So, my question is, even without an economic advantage, why couldn't Kalista's team engage Twitch in team fights?
