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

FirstBlood!!

EDG's Attack (Camille) has killed WE's 957 (Fiora)!!!

The audience erupted in terrifying cheers.

Keyboard warriors in the official live stream began to express their opinions.

"Awesome! Brother A, are you going to teach me forehand and backhand?"

"Playing Fiora, I can absolutely kill Camille; playing Camille, I can absolutely kill Fiora."

"From today onwards, Attack is the face of domestic top laners in the LPL."

"Domestic top laners? They're the face of LPL top laners."

"They've only played a few games, and you're already making such a fuss?"

"Don't you guys even look at who he beat? Peak Letme and peak 957, isn't that amazing?"

"Playing with Letme has caused a lot of trouble."

"Let's win the championship first."

"EDG absolutely has to go to MSI this year!"

"This year is LPL's most promising year."

……

Just as the top laner secured a solo kill, a fight broke out in the mid lane as well.

Scout used Ivern's bushes and shield to force Malzahar to reposition.

After knocking off Malzahar's passive shield with a basic attack, he applied the E skill, activated the Q skill, and then performed two more basic attacks.

The grasshopper used his skill to trade damage, and Tristana used her W to jump onto the grasshopper's face.

After landing her final basic attack, Tristana unleashed her ultimate ability.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the grasshopper used its ultimate skill to lock the little cannon's head.

However, it was pushed against the F6 wall by the little cannon's ultimate move.

While Tristana's ultimate interrupted Malzahar's ultimate, the basic attack accompanying the ultimate destroyed the E skill's explosive sparks.

Tristana's E skill was destroyed, so her W skill was refreshed, and she used W again to stomp on Malzahar's face.

Although Tristana's W skill doesn't deal much damage, it does have a slowing effect.

Seeing that Tristana's W attack would definitely land inside the turret, Malzahar used Flash to create distance.

Little did Scout know that he was determined to kill Malzahar. He followed up with Flash and auto-attacked Malzahar three more times, killing him.

However, the little cannon withstood three hits from the turret, and with the added damage from Malzahar's skills, its health was almost gone.

Fortunately, killing the grasshopper refreshed my W ability, which I can use to jump away.

However, just as Tristana jumped into WE's lower jungle, Graves appeared right in his face.

With Tristana at low health and without any skills, Scout immediately took his hands off the keyboard when facing a fully healed Graves.

The Graves easily secured the kill on Tristana.

EDG's Scout (Torrent) has killed WE's Xiye (Malzahar)!

WE's Condi (Outlaw) has killed EDG's Scout (Torrent)!

The two mid laners traded kills, but Tristana's head was taken by Graves.

"Awesome! Well done, Lee Yee-chan!!!" Meiko's voice immediately rang out.

“Heroes…are…more…proactive.” Scout adjusted his glasses and said in broken Chinese.

Throughout the game, Mingkai consistently provided him with shields in the mid lane and helped him in the bushes.

In addition, Tristana is not afraid of fighting grasshoppers, since her E skill passive can kill grasshoppers' worms.

As long as you don't use the silence effect on the grasshopper, you can play more comfortably.

“I told you you could do it.” Zhou Hanyang immediately smiled. “You need to have confidence in yourself.”

“Yes, you’re right…” Scout also smiled.

That's right!

Scout's decision to take the small cannon in the middle was entirely at Zhou Hanyang's suggestion.

The combination of Tristana and Ivern in the mid-jungle is a classic mid-jungle pairing.

While the survival environment for Tristana in the mid lane in this version is not as comfortable as in versions S13 and S14.

However, in certain specific situations, BP can be deceived through swinging tactics.

As long as you don't encounter a strong mid-lane mage in the current meta, you can build it.

If the Little Cannon can hold its ground in the mid lane and develop into the late game, its combat power will far exceed that of some mage heroes.

Zhou Hanyang made this suggestion not only to enhance EDG's tactical system.

There is another very important reason.

That is the bot lane AD carry Zet. His skill level is indeed somewhat different from that of world-class top AD carries, which is an undeniable fact.

In that case, why not entrust Scout with the responsibility of providing backup later on?

Aside from the ancient S1 and S2!

Starting from Season 3, among all the World Championship winning teams.

Aside from Faker (Lee Sang-hyeok), only Scout (Lee Ye-chan), a mid-laner, has won the FMVP award, which speaks volumes about his skill.

Among the top mid laners in the LPL right now, Scout is a 'bounty hunter' type of mid laner.

He is different from mid-laners like Rookie who are the "grass-eating, milking-type" type.

This also distinguishes him from mid-laners like Doinb who 'support roaming'.

It is also different from the useless Xiao Hu.

The left hand, unlike the other hand, is always hidden due to its inherent disadvantages.

He's the kind of mid-laner who deals the same amount of damage as you give him gold.

As long as you keep feeding him economic resources, he will definitely give you corresponding feedback.

It might be difficult to expect Scout to carry the team, but he's unlikely to let you down.

It's extremely rare to see Scout suddenly die in a team fight.

The key word is 'stability'!

He can perfectly fill in for Zet and take on the role of the team's backup.

Mingkai is a jungler who is very good at finding, supporting, and protecting his father.

Playing Ivern as a mid-lane Tristana to protect Scout is a 1+1 greater than 3 effect.

The reason why EDG was eliminated in the S7 World Championship in 16th place in the previous season was because...

It's entirely because the coaching staff didn't properly understand how to use Scout.

Instead of letting him play early-game champions like Lucian, it's better to let him gain enough advantages in the early game.

It would be better to let him play a late-game farming mage and provide backup for EDG in the late game.

While Scout's laning ability wasn't as strong as Chovy's at his peak, when playing a late-game carry, his damage per minute after 20 minutes was just as high as Chovy's.

In comparison, Scout's late-game strength is stronger than his early-game strength.

After EDG's top and mid laners each secured a kill, their equipment was superior to WE's top and mid laners.

Camille directly uses Sheen and Tiamat.

This version of the Lightbringer is the old version, and it costs 1050!

The Little Cannon, on the other hand, uses attack speed boots and Vampiric Scepter.

In the late game, WE relied on Graves and Fiora to carry the team.

The Graves got the kill on Tristana, which improved his farming speed to a certain extent, but it was still within an acceptable range.

Although Camille has a better item build than Fiora, Fiora still has the ability to fight back as long as her item build isn't too far behind and she has her W available.

While EDG did gain a certain advantage, this disadvantage was negligible for WE's lineup.

Both sides are still on the same starting line!
