After Mala Xiangguo secured the first blood on the captain, he even went so far as to kill him twice more, causing the captain to fall behind not only in development but also in Shen's teleportation ability!

When Spicy Hot Pot reaches level 6 and comes to help, Shen can use his ultimate to support, but Gangplank will be unable to provide support, resulting in a situation where there are more people than people.

RNG had the advantage throughout the game, and Shen was completely dominating Gangplank on the side lane.

After all, the Captain is a champion without any mobility skills. As long as Sejuani or Twitch disappear from vision, the Captain has no way to trade blows with Shen.

With a significant advantage, RNG secured the victory in the first game.

Whenever RNG gains an advantage, a huge cheer erupts from the crowd.

After winning the first game, the cheers from the crowd were absolutely terrifying, like a landslide or a tsunami crashing into your soul.

"If RNG can't get Sejuani in the second game, what will they do?" Zhou Hanyang couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Can RNG only play Sejuani?" Mingkai looked at Zhou Hanyang with some confusion: "Jarvan IV, Sejuani, Gragas... why not just let them all play?"

"Didn't you look at RNG's data analysis?" Zhou Hanyang scoffed. "Didn't you notice? Since entering the World Championship, Mlxg hasn't played Gragas at all?"

Ming Kai was slightly taken aback when he heard Zhou Hanyang's words.

He pondered for a moment before suddenly raising his eyebrows: "It seems that's true. RNG handled Gragas themselves in the group stage... Wait, wait, didn't Mlxg often play Gragas in the Summer Split?"

"I picked Gragas 13 times in the Summer Split, with a win rate of over 60%!" Zhou Hanyang said with great familiarity, "Gragas is a champion that relies heavily on Flash to initiate team fights; his ultimate is actually a way to counter the enemy's dive..."

Mingkai instantly understood the meaning behind Zhou Hanyang's words.

RNG's top and mid lane picks don't actually have the ability to initiate team fights, so they need a hero with strong initiation capabilities.

As for the jungler Gragas, his protective attributes are actually stronger than his initiation attributes.

“But I don’t understand why Shi Senming can’t play such a simple British system like Luo?” Meiko said with some doubt.

"Rakan is one of the weakest champions in the laning phase this patch!" Zhou Hanyang explained. "And if RNG wants to win, they have to give Uzi champions like Twitch, Vayne, Caitlyn, and Tristana, who are incredibly strong in the late game..."

If you add another Rakan, the bot lane won't have lane priority, right? It's fair to say that if RNG wants to win right now, they have to rely on Mlxg and Uzi; the other three are just accessories for them.

Therefore, their hero selection is particularly limited... Why can Spicy Hot Pot Gragas be played in the Summer Split? Because at that time, the bot lane was full of hard supports, and when all the supports were hard supports, the bot lane matchup actually depended more on the AD carry's strategy.

Spicy hot pot is a great option, just like choosing a barrel! Similarly, does that mean Uzi can't play Xayah and Varus? No, he might not carry the game with them, but he'll definitely be above average.

“I understand this perfectly!” Mingkai said with a bitter expression when he heard Zhou Hanyang say this: “There’s nothing I can do, this is the overall style of LPL.”

Bot lane gains an advantage? Force a team fight! Mid lane gains an advantage? Roam to help bot lane establish an advantage, force a team fight! Top lane gains an advantage? Split the lane and force a team fight.

Before Zhou Hanyang joined EDG, wasn't EDG operating under this very model?

Regardless of who gains the advantage, it all comes down to one core concept.

Forced group!

Forced group purchase!!

And it's a damn forced group!!!

What is the ultimate goal of forcing a group to join?

It's all for team battles!

To initiate a team fight, you need to successfully start the team battle, which essentially means you need someone with the ability to finish off enemies.

Compared to mages in the mid lane, AD carries in the bottom lane are naturally better at finishing off enemies in team fights.

Therefore, the bottom lane must ensure an advantage in the laning phase and also have the ability to fall back in the late game.

Junglers, on the other hand, need absolute team fight initiation ability!

With issues in overall tactics and strategy, this resulted in Mlxg being unable to play Gragas effectively, RNG being unable to play Xayah and Varus, and even RNG's Rakan not performing well when they couldn't get Xayah and Rakan.

The second game began amidst their conversation.

SKT on the blue side proactively banned Jarvan IV, Janna, and Tristana!

RNG opted to ban Sejuani, Jayce, and Kalista!

"Is the pressure on the top lane really that high? Why is Jayce banned every game?" Scout asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You think everyone's an A-dog? Top lane Jayce is useless, we'll collapse, we can't even play the game!" Mingkai sneered.

"RNG's draft this game was great!" Meiko couldn't help but laugh: "They left Xayah and Rakan open, SKT is going to have to dismantle this game..."

Before Meiko could finish speaking, SKT on the blue side made a choice that shocked everyone.

Surprisingly, SKT on the blue side first picked Galio, instead of dismantling Xayah and Rakan.

"Huh?" Iboy's eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed at the big screen, shouting, "They picked Xayah and Rakan? The red side picked Xayah and Rakan directly! Then they've won this game!"

“We can’t pick it!” Zet slowly shook his head and said, “Xayah and Rakan don’t have the ability to finish the game, and RNG probably didn’t even expect any team to dare to let Xayah and Rakan through, so they haven’t practiced this system at all.”

As expected, RNG chose Rakan and Twitch!

"Wow!" Iboy exclaimed in disbelief, "What kind of incredible draft picks are these on both sides? Are the coaching staff even human? They're all pretending to be human."

"Actually, RNG and SKT were forcing each other to ban Xayah and Rakan. Since SKT was on the red side, they definitely couldn't ban Xayah and Rakan, but SKT didn't expect RNG to not ban them either!" Mingkai explained.

"If SKT dismantles Xayah and Rakan here, then RNG will have either Galio or Xayah and Rakan! Both sides are taking a gamble!"

RNG is betting on whether SKT will first-pick Rakan, while SKT is betting on whether RNG will pick Xayah and Rakan. SKT's only safe option is to first-pick Rakan!

However, if RNG picks Rakan, they can get Xayah and Galio, and their support can also get Lulu. SKT can't accept this trade, otherwise their bot lane might be completely crushed. So they'd rather give Xayah and Rakan to RNG!

RNG didn't pick Xayah and Rakan, but instead picked Rakan and Twitch!

(This best-of-five series was a disappointment for many, so let's take this opportunity to analyze why RNG made such an incredible draft!)

The author's new book has been released on Tomato (League: Just turned 18, and you want Old Harden to make a comeback?)!

You can click on the author's pen name to view the new book. I hope you'll all support it!

There aren't many authors writing about League of Legends these days. Even if you think the word count is too low, please listen to it when you're not using your phone!

Tomato's income from one book is too low, so he has no choice but to start a new one! He hopes everyone will support him and help him avoid his new book flopping!

I'm begging you all! Life is too hard, I can't take any more setbacks!
