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

When EDG pulled out the Crocodile Spider on the fourth or fifth floor, the audience cheered excitedly.

"My God! Crocodile and Elise? They're going for Crocodile and Elise first? EDG is clearly going to gank top lane this game!" Wang Duoduo immediately raised his voice: "How is SSG going to deal with EDG's top and jungle duo this game?"

"So top lane is going to be under pressure this game? Let's pick Sion. Sion's zombies can clear the minion wave after he dies." Guan Zeyuan joked with a smile, "If Sion takes Teleport, he can also use his ultimate to get back to lane. If we can't beat Renekton, then we'll have to pick Sion, right?"

"Or we could just go all out and engage in a bloody battle, picking Fiora directly." Rita agreed, saying, "SSG's mid and jungle are already double AP in this game, so it's definitely not going to work if the top laner builds AP too, they have to add an AD carry!"

When EDG selected this lineup, SSG's head coach Edgar was completely dumbfounded.

What are the advantages of the red side in drafting and banning (BP)?

By using the banning restrictions in the first round, the blue side can gain an advantage by firing a shot, allowing the red side to secure two strong heroes on the first and second floors.

In this game, SSG secured Lulu, a strong laner, and Gragas, one of the three god-tier junglers.

This forces EDG to choose either Janna or Rakan!

In addition, the Counter position on the 5th floor is excellent, allowing for Counter lane selection.

However, the most crucial position for the red team is actually not the 125th floor, but the 3rd floor!

Why do I say that? The third floor can not only make a choice after seeing the blue team's first three moves, but also conduct the first round of counter-attack.

For example, after watching EDG's strategy of building an engage composition, SSG chose Kog'Maw.

Kog'Maw is an ADC that can safely poke from the backline!

In addition, the red team can also make choices around the third floor of the red team by banning people in the second round and picking people with a shot on the fourth floor.

If EDG had assembled a full-on offensive system, they would have been completely countered by Kog'Maw.

However, when EDG picked Renekton and Elise in the top lane, it was clear that they wanted to dominate the top lane. Then, in team fights, they changed their strategy from a dive composition to a strategy of destroying the front line.

The speed at which Renekton can take down the front line isn't actually that fast, so why can he destroy the front line? Because Renekton in the top lane won't allow SSG's front line to farm up.

When SSG has no front line, they naturally won't need to charge into the enemy lines. They can just kill whoever they can, and the team fight will be won easily.

This significantly reduces the effectiveness of SSG's Crystal Maiden pick.

The three commentators lacked game knowledge, so they suggested that SSG choose the front line. However, SSG's head coach was not stupid; he instantly understood EDG's idea.

"Cuvee, you need to pick a strong AD carry for top lane this game!" Edgar didn't make a decision on his own, but looked at Cuvee and asked, "Fiora, Jax, Gnar, choose one of these three champions!"

It would actually be better to pick Kennen in this game, but the problem is that if you pick Kennen, then the top, mid, and jungle will all be AP champions.

After all, AD Kennen has been nerfed to the point of being unplayable in this version.

If you choose Shen, that's also an option, but Shen doesn't apply enough pressure on the sidelines.

Actually, Edgar initially chose Cho'Gath for the top lane, as he could become tanky enough to act as the frontliner, and also deal some damage in team fights. His silence could also counter engages and make him a pretty perfect choice.

But even the giant insect has a hard time standing under the tower when facing the crocodile spider.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also Riven and Olaf who can fit into this lineup, but these heroes are not in Cuvee's hero pool.

“I think Graves is a good pick,” Ambition suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Edgar was slightly taken aback, then his eyes widened slightly: "You know what, Graves is actually pretty good."

Graves has mobility, smoke grenades, and can push Renekton's minion wave, making him a good counter to Renekton and Elise tower dives.

To counter Crocodile and Spider, you must choose a hero who can control the lane.

“No!” Cuvee slowly shook his head and said, “I’m not proficient enough. Actually, the best choice to play against this lineup is Quinn.”

Can Cuvee play Graves and Quinn?

Of course he knows how to play.

But as the saying goes, even among exceptional skills, there are differences.

Not to mention that his opponent was Zhou Hanyang, the crocodile.

Zhou Hanyang's skill level with crocodiles is something everyone in the know understands.

However, neither the crocodile nor the spider in this version are conventional choices.

Cuvee is unlikely to practice Quinn extensively just because EDG might not even use her, causing the entire SSG team to work with him to practice the Quinn system.

That's unrealistic!

If you bring out a Quinn that you're not proficient with, you'll only get broken through even faster.

The later 369 is a typical example.

“Let’s pick Gnar, Gnar, I’ll decide for myself!” Cuvee said.

“But if you pick Gnar, the enemy will definitely invade our red buff area.” Edgar frowned slightly.

“Two choices: either I’ll sacrifice a little to help Gragas defend the red buff area!” Cuvee said, “or I’ll switch jungle camps and then try to stack as much rage as possible to become a Gnar.”

“You helped Gragas defend the red zone, but he still wants to farm down there…” Edgar was about to say something when CoreJJ’s shout rang out.

"There's no time left!" CoreJJ shouted repeatedly.

“Nar will do!” Cuvee said with unwavering determination.

“Alright, then it’s Nar.” Edgar nodded slowly.

SSG, on the red team, locked in the champion Gnar on the fifth floor.

"Rengar vs. Gnar?" Wang Duoduo exclaimed in surprise, "They didn't pick Sion? Are they planning to use Gnar's red-temperature enlargement mechanic to prevent EDG's top and jungle synergy?"

"It all depends on the skill of both top laners. The Renekton will definitely be going to gain an advantage in this game," Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.

"Of course, in terms of individual ability, Attack is among the top in this World Championship. It all comes down to the battle between the two sides."

"Let's enjoy this game together!" Rita shouted as both teams completed their lineup selections.

At that moment, in EDG's team voice chat, Zhou Hanyang shouted to Meiko, "Bring Ignite this game!"

"With ignition?" Meiko was slightly taken aback.

Because of the combination of Incense Burner and Wind Whisperer, most support characters in this version carry healing abilities, which not only trigger Incense Burner but also greatly enhance the healing effect.

"Let's gank bot lane first, don't rush to dive top lane!" Zhou Hanyang said in a deep voice, "I used a little Gnar strategy when I was playing ranked games before!"

That means the red team's top laner should let the lane go at the start, accompany the jungler to farm the Krugs first, and then go back to the lane. When the enemy pushes the lane into the tower, the red team can transform into a red-rage champion!

The enemy team will most likely use this tactic, or force a lane swap to disrupt our rhythm. Either way, you must swap lanes. Normally, if the enemy is strong, you should level up W and Ignite at level 1 to force a Flash. If you swap lanes, use Ignite to kill them!

"OK!"

Hearing Zhou Hanyang explain so clearly, Meiko immediately said OK, no problem.
