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

[I've added 2000 words to the previous chapter! I was too tired last night, fighting my way in and out seven times like Zhao Yun. My legs are weak and I'm seeing stars. Even my arms are completely powerless. I couldn't bear to just type it out with voice messages to appease you all, so I only managed to write this much in an hour and a half. I'll post one chapter today, and I'll make up for the missing one tomorrow! Feel free to criticize today!]

"Don't go in! Don't go in!" Zhou Hanyang shouted, seeing the Lee Sin kick forward and Meiko's Rakan poking out to engage, "Spider's here! Spider's here! Spider's here! Don't fight! Don't fight!!!"

Only after Zhou Hanyang's continuous shouts did the EDG team refrain from rushing forward rashly.

"EDG really made a profit this time, getting a dragon for free." Miller chuckled. "In EDG's operational logic, dragons have never been a particularly high priority, but now EDG chose to take the dragon, which shows that their operational logic has been optimized to some extent."

"The main issue is that EDG's lineup isn't very good at rotating and pushing towers in the early game, so the laning phase will last longer," PDD explained.

"In EDG's previous operational logic, the goal was to end the laning phase as early as possible and start rotating to other lanes and pushing towers as soon as possible, in order to avoid the problem of being weak in the laning phase."

However, EDG's laning ability is very strong in all three lanes now, so there is no need to start switching lanes and managing the game early.

A longer laning phase can actually be more advantageous for the stronger side.

PDD, as expected of a former professional player, provided a sharp analysis of EDG's operational strategy.

Why was IG so strong in S8? It's because their pace of lane switching and tower pushing wasn't actually that fast.

This results in all three lanes engaging in a longer laning phase, allowing the 3C lane to maximize its laning strength.

After Season 9, the addition of plating caused players to try to extract the plating, leading to an earlier end to the laning phase.

This "end of the laning phase" doesn't just mean other teams will end their laning phase early; IG will also end their laning phase early if they gain an advantage.

In the S9 Spring Split, 73% of the games saw IG securing plating gold early, causing the laning phase to end prematurely.

After the laning phase ends, it's time to transition to the lane and focus on macro play, but IG did a really bad job in this regard.

All five players were playing very aggressively, which is why they fell in S9.

It wasn't until the World Championship that IG realized this problem and consciously avoided ending the laning phase prematurely.

However, they were facing FPX, who were certain to end the laning phase!

EDG is in the same situation right now!

If the laning phase ends early, Kennen and Gnar will definitely switch to a longer side lane.

Under equal development conditions, Kennen will definitely lose to Gnar.

Therefore, Zhou Hanyang hopes that the laning phase will last longer in this game, so that he can gain an advantage in the top lane through his personal skills, and then switch lanes to push the side lanes.

In this way, Kennen can maintain his advantage on the sidelines by virtue of his laning phase advantage.

In the backstage meeting room of SKT, Kkoma couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth up.

Apart from one kill in the bottom lane, SKT clearly stabilized the situation in this game.

If SKT's lineup can successfully drag the game into the late game, and both sides are evenly developed, they will definitely be stronger than EDG.
