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

Upon hearing Kim Jung-soo's words, everyone wore thoughtful expressions.

If EDG's top laner Attack is the sharpest spear, then their bottom laner is the one who shoots arrows from behind.

Therefore, EDG's mid lane is actually EDG's strongest support.

This support doesn't mean he's timid; rather, it means he not only avoids getting crushed in lane, but he can also often step up and lead the game.

This means that whichever half of the map EDG's mid and top laners are in, they have absolute control over that half.

"So..." KT's headcoach suddenly said, "The reason Kalista and Ashe were picked wasn't simply for pushing lanes; their core purpose was actually to scout vision?"

If the jungler invests in the top and mid lanes, then the bottom lane will inevitably face a lot of pressure.

Both Ice and Skateboard have abilities that allow them to detect enemy positions.

"I think it has both. It can scout vision and play the laning phase, and its ultimate has strong functionality, which can provide great help to teammates."

SSG coach Edgar said, "If it weren't for Kalista's ultimate, how could EDG have picked Ashe as support?"

"With two vision-gathering heroes, plus trinket wards and control wards, it's practically impossible to kill them!" Kkoma agreed, adding, "That means even when they're at a disadvantage, these two heroes can still provide vision for their teammates!"

"Personally, I think we absolutely must solve the problems with Kalista and Ashe," Kim Jeong-soo's voice rang out again. "Secondly, we need to find a breakthrough in the mid lane. If we can firmly control the advantage in the bottom half of the map, we actually have a chance to beat EDG."

Kim Jung-soo paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, there's another way: let MVP face off against EDG! Then the other three teams will each get one point."

"So how should we arrange them?" headcoach asked casually.

"Well, I'm not sure about that." Kim Jung-soo smiled. "It's up to you all to decide."

He didn't even come to this intercontinental tournament, so how could he possibly speak up on such a matter? He'd be an easy scapegoat, right? He's not willing to take the blame for that.

While LCK teams were discussing how to defeat EDG and their team compositions, a GIF went viral in China.

That is when you fight against everyone, even Smeb, Huni, 957, Letme...

Zhou Hanyang was always lounging lazily in the chair.

Zhou Hanyang only sat up during the match against TheShy.

Many netizens even started creating derivative works.

They tattooed an Attack ID on Madara Rokudo's head.

Then they marked TheShy on Kai's forehead.

Attack shouted, "Of all the top laners I've faced, I'd call you the strongest!"

This picture went viral and immediately became a trending topic.

When the EDG team members saw this trending topic in the hotel, they were all completely dumbfounded.

They really didn't understand why this topic was trending at this time.

Faced with their doubts, Zhou Hanyang gave them an explanation.

Although he defeated Huni at MSI, there are still attribute counters between players.

Winning one game with too few statistics isn't something to brag about.

However, in this intercontinental tournament, he defeated both Cuvee and Smeb.

They didn't win by taking advantage of the situation; they defeated them head-on.

Zhou Hanyang has defeated four of the top LCK top laners, including Duke.

LPL viewers are naturally excited at times like this.

As for why TheShy was brought out?

It's simply to put down LCK top laners.

These people mean very little.

Did you see it?

Is this the top top laner in your LCK?

You can't even get Attack to sit up before you all get completely destroyed.

This kind of comparison and denigration tactic is not common now, but it was everywhere in S14.

How could Zhou Hanyang not understand?

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyang's explanation, everyone in EDG was completely bewildered.

They simply couldn't understand why these viewers and fans would engage in such disparaging behavior.

Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Zhou Hanyang offered no explanation.

Isn't it because I lost too much in the past?

Now that they've finally managed to stand up again, shouldn't they retaliate with a fierce mockery?

However, these were just minor incidents, and everyone quickly returned to training.

On July 8th, the LCK region will face off against the LMS region.

There's not much to say about this best-of-five series; it was a one-sided massacre.

LMS offered virtually no resistance and was easily defeated by LCK.

That evening, LPL held an all-staff meeting.

The meeting's agenda naturally revolved around the order of appearance.

"What do you all think should be our order of appearance tomorrow?" Abu, who was chairing the meeting, asked first. "Everyone can share their opinions."

"I think we can let WE go first, and then EDG go second! WE can help us get off to a winning start, and EDG can boost our momentum!" Feng Ge gave his suggestion.

This is a fairly standard order of appearance.

The second strongest team will take the stage first!

Regardless of winning or losing, having the strongest player on the field can boost morale.

“I…agree!” Redmi said in broken Chinese, expressing his approval of Brother Feng’s suggestion.

“I think so too.” Mingzhe, the coach of the OMG team, also expressed his agreement.

"This is a fairly standard order of appearance," Zhou Hanyang said, standing up. "But hasn't everyone forgotten one thing?"

"What's the problem?" Abu asked, slightly taken aback.

“Now it seems that the advantage is in our hands.” Zhou Hanyang said thoughtfully, “LCK will definitely arrange their lineup, so why don’t we do the opposite?”

I think EDG should definitely go first and secure a point for the team! Once they get one more point, the rest is up to us. We'll take the blame if they lose, okay?

When Zhou Hanyang said he would build a nest for his brothers, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

“I think it’s a good idea!” Xiye said. “I agree with this. When playing against LCK teams, we have to do the opposite. We can’t give them any fancy tricks. We just have to go for the first team! Let’s request to be the second one to go!”

Everyone immediately looked at each other in bewilderment!

[Hey everyone, I'd love to have some free little gifts!]

I won't go into detail about WBG and BLG! Let me just briefly talk about T1 and GEN. T1's greatest strength lies in their adaptability; they know how to adjust to the current meta while devising strategies to defeat their opponents! In the Swiss League, T1 got too hasty and ended up feeding several team fights to TES.

So, in the quarterfinals, T1 avoided pointless team fights with TES that didn't involve resources. However, this strategy didn't work against GEN. GEN relied on their laning strength to hold their ground and then decided the outcome in decisive team fights!

T1无论怎么变化，只要没办法前期给GEN突破了。GEN就龟到后期打阵地团战！T1其实很难赢GEN的。我预测个3-1吧！T1最多能拿1分，但凡打到3-2我都倒立拉稀！】
