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

This forces SSG to only pick Excavator, pairing it with Galio to form an AD/AP combination.

If the jungle strength is sufficient, you can go toe-to-toe with the Spider.

Most importantly, this doesn't restrict the choice of top laner.

EDG, positioned on the second and third floors of the blue side, selected Kled and Leona.

"Wow! Kled! This is the first time I've seen Attack pick Kled in a match." Wawa exclaimed in surprise, "I have indeed seen Attack playing Kled in ranked games recently."

"Kled the Spider, a man can be a dog!" Miller laughed as well: "Kled may not be as strong as Crocodile in the early stages, but his combat power far surpasses Crocodile in the mid-to-late stages."

"Let's see what SSG decides!" Ruofeng said. "SSG needs to pick a hero with mobility and the ability to push lanes. Otherwise, even if they can push lanes, they won't be able to withstand Spider's ganks!"

SSG wasn't in a hurry. Even though EDG had already picked Kled, they still didn't choose a top laner, but instead picked Caitlyn first.

The two sides immediately began the second round of banning.

SSG, on the red side, banned Taliyah and Ryze first.

Both of these champions are mid-lane champions who can provide support against Galio, and their ultimate abilities combined with Kled's charge are too overpowered, so we decided to ban them.

EDG, on the other hand, banned Camille and Kennen.

Camille can be paired with Galio to form a counter-attack composition, and Kennen follows a similar logic.

If EDG all rush in, Kennen's ultimate will backfire and cause trouble.

Upon seeing EDG's bans, SSG began to discuss their options.

"Now we have four options: Zyra, Thresh, Gnar, and Sion!" SSG's coach said. "The opposing team is very likely to pick Ziggs or Tristana!"

Zyra can dominate the lane; both Tristana and Ziggs are quite afraid of Zyra, and she can play a similar role to Kennen in team fights.

EDG rushed in, and Zyra used her ultimate to control the entire EDG team.

The problem is that EDG's jungler this game is Elise, paired with Leona, a tough support. If the bot lane keeps playing a 3v3 mahjong game, SSG will have a hard time winning in a 3v3.

Choosing Thresh is a solid choice; he can gain an advantage in lane and also prevent ganks, providing Caitlyn with a safe space to survive.

"How about I pick first? The support can take a look later?" Cuvee suggested at this moment.

EDG has already picked Gnar for the top lane, but their mid laner hasn't been picked yet.

Therefore, it's impossible to determine what lineup EDG would use in a 4v4 situation in the bottom half of the map.

“Okay, support, take another look. What are you going to pick?” Edgar looked at Cuvee: “If you pick Sion, then go gank the bot lane at the start. If you pick Gnar, then you go top lane and take the pressure yourself.”

“Pick Gnar!” Cuvee glanced at Ruler: “Pick Sion, and the damage output will be too much, all on Caitlyn. Besides, the Sion strategy was developed by EDG, so I suspect they have a counter to the lane swap strategy as well!”

“Okay, then let’s choose Nar!” Edgar nodded immediately.

Gnar is relatively weak against Kled in the early game, but as long as he survives the early game safely, he will not be afraid of tower diving in the mid to late game.

Compared to many strong top lane champions, Kled's ability to engage in a decisive fight is much weaker; he needs to kite and mount up to fight.

As long as Kled pulls, then Nar has nothing to fear.

SSG chose Gnar on the fourth floor of the red team.

It was EDG's turn to select players.

When Cuvee picked Gnar, everyone on EDG laughed.

“I told you, as long as I pick Kled, he will definitely use Gnar to counter!” Zhou Hanyang smiled.

Gnar is a champion with no offensive pressure in the early game, but he has strong combat ability in the late game and can hold his own in lane. Cuvee will definitely pick him when facing Kled.

"So I'm playing Kled mid this game?" Scout raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Hanyang's game account has indeed been linked to LinkKree recently, but the account actually used by Scout is not Zhou Hanyang!

So it wasn't Zhou Hanyang practicing Kled, it was Scout!

"Then what will you use to counter Gnar?" Nofe asked Zhou Hanyang.

"How about we use crocodiles?" Zhou Hanyang suggested.

"Alright!" Nofe nodded slightly: "Crocodile vs. Gnar, a classic top lane matchup!"

EDG, on the blue side, instantly locked down the Bomber and the Renekton on the fourth and fifth floors!

When EDG announced their lineup, everyone was shocked.

"Wow! What kind of lineup is EDG using? Ziggs and Renekton? What does that mean? Is Renekton going mid or top? Ziggs should be bot lane, right?" Wawa exclaimed in surprise, "EDG has picked Ziggs as AD carry several times!"

“That’s right! The Bomber will definitely go bot lane!” Miller exclaimed in surprise. “Now it’s just a matter of who Kled and Renekton will lane.”

"It should be Renekton going top!" Ruofeng said confidently. "Renekton has an advantage against Gnar in the early game! And it doesn't matter much whether Renekton or Kled is effective against Galio."

"That's a top lane crocodile, is he going to dive Gnar at level one?" Wawa laughed: "Gnar uses his ultimate and leads a few brothers to charge in, then Ziggs just needs to use his ultimate from behind!"

“Exactly! Just thinking about it makes me want to visualize it!” Miller agreed.

The faces of everyone on the SSG side were somewhat dark.

With the combination of Crocodile and Spider, how can Gnar possibly play in the top lane in the early game?

"No wonder Attack always played mid lane when he played Kled!" Edgar said through gritted teeth. "I thought he just couldn't get a top lane spot, but it turns out it was Scout playing... damn liar!"

Cuvee could feel her body temperature rising and sweating.

"So, should we pick Zyra or Thresh now?" Ambition couldn't help but ask.

"Let's pick Zyra!" CoreJJ said without hesitation.

EDG's team is full of burly men!

Japanese woman, spider, crocodile, Kled...

Thresh had no way to protect Caitlyn.

Moreover, whether it's Thresh or Zyra, they melt at roughly the same speed when facing such a burly man.

In that case, it's better to pick Zyra, try to gain an advantage in the early game, and also be able to contribute in team fights later on.

“Okay!” Edgar agreed with CoreJJ’s opinion!

Many people keep asking me about next year's lineup, but I'm telling you, everything circulating outside is fake!

Next year's roster will depend on this year's results! If BLG wins the championship and Bin becomes a legend, then it doesn't matter whether TheShy is drafted or not, as the popularity and buzz will be guaranteed.

If BLG fails to win the championship, TheShy will have to make a comeback!

Those who say TheShyRookie is making a comeback on IG are talking nonsense!

Rookie signed a long-term contract with NIP, which is why NIP granted him a green card. Furthermore, if BLG doesn't win the championship, TheShy won't make a comeback unless his salary and endorsement deals reach 5000 million RMB!

Moreover, the draft proposal within Tencent Esports also features TheShy, Tazan, Meow, Left Hand, and Water Girl combo!

Some people may not approve of this combination.

But there's one thing about this combination: no matter how the game changes, they are always the biggest favorites to win the championship.

Of these five, apart from the Tsar on the left, Clockwerk can only be considered half a hero... What heroes can't they pull out?

As I mentioned before, this year's World Championship patch is truly tailor-made for BLG!
