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

[Yesterday's update has been made up! You can reread chapter 277! The chapter word count has increased from 1000 to 4000! Yesterday's update has been added!]

That evening, Zhou Hanyang played a few more games before ending the broadcast.

However, Zhou Hanyang and Mingkai were warned by Abu the next day. It's fine to create a good show, but AFK in ranked matches is indeed not a good thing.

During these five days, the EDG team returned to their intense yet peaceful training routine.

On July 29th, EDG had another match day, and their opponent today was LGD!

LGD has had a poor season so far, with a current record of 5-5.

The mid-laner, Cool, is already quite old and simply can't adapt to the current version and game pace.

The jungler is a 'lost' player.

When Sofm came to the LPL, he successfully taught almost all the junglers a lesson.

There are only two junglers that Sofm has never beaten: one is Clearlove.

There's not much to say about Mingkai; he's a jungler who uses his brain. After studying Sofm's habits and playstyle, you'll know how to deal with Sofm.

The other one is LGD's current jungler – 'Jungle King' Eimy!

The reason Sofm couldn't beat Eimy wasn't because Eimy was particularly skilled, but because Sofm lacked a clear strategy for jungling.

When the online players asked him to do something, he would just go to the jungle halfway through farming.

This means Sofm is completely unable to calculate his jungle monster respawn times and jungle routes, resulting in him making a wasted trip every time he tries to invade the enemy jungle.

LGD's only real strength is their bot lane duo, which has been around since Season 5.

ADC – Imp and support – Pyl!

Upon arriving at the match venue, Coach Nofe once again briefed everyone on LGD's relevant information and the things to pay attention to during the game.

At 4 p.m., the competition entered the preparation process.

"Hello everyone, I'm the commentator, Ji De!" Ji De's voice rang out first.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tongxi." Tongxi waved and greeted everyone.

"EDG is playing LGD today! Although LGD's performance this season hasn't been great, everyone knows that LGD has a special attribute." Remember said with a smile, "They become stronger when facing strong opponents."

“That’s right!” Tongxi nodded at Kuona’s cute little head: “I wonder if LGD’s ‘water ghost’ attribute will be triggered today. Maybe they’ll have a chance to take down EDG.”

"I think we have a good chance of winning 2-1. As for whether we can beat EDG, it depends on LDG's performance today." Remember nodded slightly: "After all, EDG's laning strength in all three lanes is too strong."

"EDG's starting AD carry today is Zet. Both Zet and Imp are very skilled with Kalista. I wonder if they'll be able to let Kalista shine today." Tongxi said with some anticipation, "Let's see if both sides have any draft strategies?"

……

Amidst the commentators' rambling, the draft and ban phase of the match finally appeared on the big screen.

"They're here!" Remember to shout, "Both sides have entered the draft phase!"

"LGD on the blue side banned Taliyah, Thresh, and Rumble first," Tongxi said. "EDG banned Zac, Caitlyn, and Kalista."

Scout's Taliyah is a must-have! Attack's Rumble, if he farms normally in the early game, is terrifying in late-game team fights. And Thresh, is he just not going to give it to Meiko?

Galio has been nerfed in patch 7.14, so EDG didn't ban him. However, they did ban Caitlyn.

Caitlyn and Zac are basically always banned on the red side! Then Imp's Kalista was banned. So... is LGD going to pick Ashe?

For both teams, the current high-priority heroes are Ashe, Elise, and Rek'Sai.

In a normal situation, LGD should pick Ashe first, then wait for EDG to pick a jungler, and then pick a strong jungler themselves.

But LGD can't make this pick!

When Mingkai gets the Spider, he will definitely carry the game, especially with Zhou Hanyang in the top lane.

So if Mingkai gets the Spider, the top lane will definitely be crushed!

Imp got Ashe, but he couldn't push EDG's bot lane, so this trade was definitely not very reasonable.

Therefore, LGD picked Spider jungler on the first floor.

EDG naturally chose Excavator and Ashe without hesitation.

LGD didn't hesitate and picked Jarvan IV and Varus.

Because of the presence of the Spider, the Prince will definitely be placed in the top lane, while Varus is Imp's choice to counter Ashe.

EDG, on the red side, picked Tahm Kench on the third floor.

The meaning behind EDG's bot lane duo picks is pretty obvious...

Our bot lane duo is designed to withstand the pressure.

Both sides began the second round of banning.

LGD first banned Renekton, then banned LeBlanc in the mid lane.

Prince Jarvan IV doesn't have many heroes he fears in the top lane because of his mobility, but Renekton is definitely one of them.

LGD also doesn't really want to see a mid-jungle duo of LeBlanc and Rek'Sai.

EDG, on the fourth floor of the red side, gave Scout the Cassiopeia champion.

Cassiopeia is a counter to Galio, and picking Cassiopeia here is to prevent LGD from picking Galio and Rakan.

Although Rakan doesn't synergize well with Varus, EDG's bot lane won't put much pressure on him in lane, and he has absolutely no trouble playing against Tahm Kench.

Seeing this, LGD had no choice but to use Orianna in the mid lane to counter Cassiopeia.

Wu-Zhuangtai is truly out of form now. If you really let him play Galio against Cassiopeia, he probably wouldn't even need Rek'Sai to help him; he'd be completely crushed in the laning phase.

After picking Cassiopeia in the mid lane, LGD finally picked Brand as support in the fifth pick.

Tahm Kench is too weak in lane, so Brand is a better choice to counter him.

Clearly, LGD wanted to try out what grilled frogs tasted like.

EDG's counter was successfully left to Zhou Hanyang.

Actually, there was no need to give this Counter position to Zhou Hanyang; Zhou Hanyang could have been allowed to exit first on the fourth floor.

After all, LGD has already picked top and jungle champions, so they can always pick counter picks whenever they want.

However, EDG still reserved that position for Zhou Hanyang.

why?

Of course, it's because Zhou Hanyang needs to choose a rather special hero.

Meiko on the fifth floor lit up the icon of a top lane champion.

Immediately following was the instant lock.

I will not tolerate such cowardly behavior!

The moment EDG locked onto Darius, deafening cheers erupted from the crowd.

The reason EDG saved Darius for last is because Darius is vulnerable to hard crowd control in team fights; if he gets too much crowd control, he's easily focused down and killed first.

Therefore, if EDG picks Darius first, LGD will definitely pick Galio and Rakan to control Darius until he dies.

Both sides have completed their team compositions and entered Summoner's Rift.
