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

In LZ's voice microphone, Kim Jung-soo said, "Shall we pick Xayah and Rakan? They've already picked Jarvan IV and banned Varus and Cho'Gath, so they're probably going for a dive composition. How about we pick Xayah and Rakan?"

Or should we use Tristana and Lulu to flank and break through? But breaking through EDG's bot lane is going to be difficult; their bot lane is just too good at withstanding pressure.

“They’ve been under pressure for a whole year, so how about we pick Xayah and Janna? Then we can focus our counter-strategy around the top, mid, and jungle,” Bdd said. “What do you guys think?”

"Either is fine!" PraY had no objections: "We'll be playing both systems anyway, so it doesn't matter which one we play first."

“Okay!” Kim Jung-soo made a decision immediately: “Then let’s choose Kasumi and Janna.”

LZ immediately locked in Xayah and Janna on the red side.

"Huh? LZ didn't choose the stronger Tristana and Lulu? Instead, they chose Xayah and Janna? That means there are no minions in the bot lane!" Miller said in surprise, "So EDG will pick Tristana and Lulu?"

At Miller's call, EDG naturally selected Tristana and Lulu.

The reason why Tristana is so strong in the current version is that, without considering the support, this hero can completely counter Xayah, from level 1 to level 18.

Lulu is a buff to Tristana, but Xayah is still playable in both laning and team fights after getting Janna, even though she is countered by Tristana.

After EDG selected their bot lane duo, LZ picked Sejuani on the third floor.

If they don't pick them now, EDG will likely ban both Gragas and Sejuani in the second round of bans.

Both sides immediately began the second round of banning!

LZ, on the red side, banned LeBlanc and Taliyah first.

The Prince paired with LeBlanc in the mid-jungle is too strong in the early game. An AD paired with AP mid-jungle combination is likely to be stronger than the AP paired with AP mid-jungle combination on LZ's side.

EDG banned Syndra and Ryze in the second round!

Syndra is somewhat effective against dive compositions, while Ryze can roam the entire map to provide support.

After the second round of bans by both sides, LZ on the red side picked Malzahar for mid lane on the fourth floor.

That's right!

It's the mid-lane Malzahar.

Malzahar can not only stay in the mid lane, but also have the right to push the lane.

While Xayah and Janna are viable picks in the bottom lane, they struggle to gain lane control.

If neither the mid nor bottom lanes have lane priority, vision control in the bottom half of the map becomes extremely difficult.

“Malva!” Wawa said with great doubt, “In the last Bo5 match against SSG, Malva was a hero that was banned by EDG the whole time.”

EDG didn't ban this champion, so LZ immediately picked it. Could it be that this champion performed well in scrims?

"There must be information from scrims, otherwise EDG wouldn't keep banning Malzahar. This champion can push lanes and has a certain degree of self-protection. He can also counter team fight compositions very well. In a way, he's like the Cho'Gath in the mid lane."

Remember nodded slightly and said, "In the absence of Cho'Gath, this is a decent alternative. And judging from LZ's lineup, it seems like they're going to play a split-push strategy against EDG in this game."

"Oh? A head-on fight in the top lane?" Miller suddenly raised his voice: "That's interesting!"

……

After LZ picked Malzahar, Nofe from the EDG player bench asked, "So, what do you want to play in the top lane?"

Nofe didn't ask what the mid laner wanted to play, but rather what the top laner wanted to play.

"How about we have a team fight this game?" Zhou Hanyang looked at Scout in the mid lane: "I'll play Rumble top, how about you play Orianna?"

Rambo Clockwork?

Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing Zhou Hanyang's words.

Rumble, Jarvan IV, and Orianna make up one of the most formidable teamfight top, mid, and jungle combinations.

Without Galio, it's rare for the top, mid, and jungle players to outmatch these three in team fights.

Furthermore, due to Rumble and Orianna's AOE skills, Jarvan IV only needs to be responsible for entering the fray; he doesn't need to worry about how many enemies he can engage.

Most importantly, this way, the small cannons can simply charge into the enemy lines in front of the enemy team.

"Isn't their concern that we'll get a strong split-push composition? That's why they picked Xayah and Janna themselves, so they can split-push me 1v1 head-on, while the four of them can hold the line in the front."

Zhou Hanyang chuckled and said, "If I win a 1v1 solo, the opponent will switch to a team fight composition in the next game. But if we win this game with a team fight, they'll definitely say it wasn't a problem with our strategy in the next game."

"Our teamfight composition is too strong. We'll be playing split-pushing in the next game. I'll use that split-pushing to crush them, leaving them with absolutely no room for error in the third game."

Hearing Zhou Hanyang say this, everyone understood what he meant.

Bo5 is a process of constant back-and-forth. If you get crushed in the first game while split pushing, the ball will be passed to other players. If you pick a tanky champion in the top lane, it will be harder for them to break through.

However, if LZ hadn't lost the first game due to split pushing, he would definitely have continued to play the split pushing strategy in the second game.

When the score reaches 2-1, LZ will have no room for error and can break through in a 1v1 situation.

If we lose just one more game, we'll be going home.

"Lee Yee-chan, what do you think?" Nofe asked Lee Yee-chan first.

“I can wind it up!” Li Ruican said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, then let's choose!" Nofe waved his hand.

EDG selected Rumble and Orianna on the fourth floor of the blue team.

As soon as this mid-to-high-level hero appeared, a deafening roar erupted from the crowd.

"Aa ...

The three commentators couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... Rumble Orianna!" Miller exclaimed excitedly, "This top, mid, and jungle team fight is invincible! And Attack's Rumble is completely trustworthy."

"LZ's two carries are both without mobility skills, and the top, mid, and jungle are too much of a counter to them!" Wawa shouted loudly, "In team fights, LZ's two carries are so badly positioned that they have to use Flash no matter how they move. Any AOE skill will force them to use Flash."

"Great, great... This lineup is really good. Now it's up to you to decide which top laner to pick." Remember kept nodding in approval.

The commentators' understanding of the game was only superficial; they naturally couldn't have guessed Zhou Hanyang's intentions and could only focus on LZ's two carries who had no mobility.

Faced with EDG's top pick, LZ was completely at a loss!
