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

Chapter 498 A top laner who can both tank and deal damage!

The training room was silent. Nofe's Korean-accented Chinese sounded particularly serious amidst the mechanical voice of the replay video: "The bot lane needs to understand that dominance is not about mindless trading of blows."

"I think the enemy jungler is in the top half of the map..." Ah Shui scratched his fluffy curly hair, but was interrupted by Nofe before he could finish speaking.

"Yu Wenbo!!!" Nofe suddenly raised his voice, his words unusually serious.

"You should at least glance at the minimap before using your E to engage! And I don't understand why you always have to walk in front of your own minion wave?"

Your positioning might give the enemy the illusion that your jungler is behind you, but what if they figure you out? Or what if they know the jungler's location?

If they immediately try to trade blows with you, and you, with your Kalista or Ezreal who's used their E skill, get hit by Leona's E, you're guaranteed to lose no matter how you trade damage, do you understand? You absolutely need to change this.

"Trading isn't something you can do mindlessly!" Meiko reminded him. "You need to take advantage of the gaps in the laning phase to carefully whittle down the opponent's health."

You're facing opponents whose talent is in no way inferior to yours, not those noobs who can't even play professionally. If I had the chance, I would definitely step in; you don't need to play so aggressively and give me that opportunity.

"Condi showed up in the bottom river at three minutes; according to the normal jungle clear route, he should be here at this time." Zhou Hanyang dragged the progress bar to 3 minutes and 45 seconds, and sure enough, Zac jumped out from the shadow of the tri-bush: "If you E in at this time, it's like giving away a double kill."

Meiko suddenly pointed at the screen: "Actually, I could have used Kog'Maw this time. Taric's positioning was flawed, but the fight broke out head-on..."

"I understand!" Ah Shui slowly exhaled. "I'll keep an eye on the support's movements from now on."

Hearing Ah Shui's words, Nofe nodded slightly in agreement.

"Our team is one of the strongest right now, so we don't need to take any overly risky moves!" Zhou Hanyang said in a deep voice.

"What we need to consider now is how to stabilize our lower limit. Only by absolutely guaranteeing our lower limit can we push up our upper limit; otherwise, raising the upper limit is meaningless!"

"Mmm!" Ah Shui nodded his head frantically, like a little squirrel.

Nofe continued to discuss some issues, but then stopped talking and told everyone to continue their training.

Team cohesion takes time to develop, and some of the problems that surface today may not even be problems at all.

Only problems that keep resurfacing are real problems. So Nofe identified and recorded many detailed issues, and if they continued to arise, he would bring them up during the debriefing.

Kenzhu was helping Nofe collect data on the new version, while Mingkai was playing ranked games to personally experience the version changes.

As the two had just joined EDG, Flandre and his partner went outside the club for a smoke after finishing their meal of eating pig.

Looking at the bright moon that cleaved the dark sky, Flandre's eyes were somewhat unfocused: "Kenzhu, do you think it was really the right decision for us to come to EDG?"

"Huh?" Kenzhu was startled and turned to look at Saint Gun Bro's hazy face shrouded in white smoke. He couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart.

Kenzhu opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just chuckled and said, "Since you're already here, what are you hesitating for? What achievements do you have, right? EDG is a championship club, isn't it?"

We absolutely have to win a league championship with EDG this year, at the very least, to increase our market value! Whether it's achieving good results or increasing our market value, EDG is the best option.

"But I'm not young anymore!" Flandre couldn't help but whisper, "If I play tanks for EDG for a year, I'm afraid I won't be able to play aggressively anymore."

"..." Upon hearing this, even the pig-eating machine was speechless.

"Who said you were going to play with flesh for a year???" Just then, Zhou Hanyang's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Both Kenzhu and Saint Gun looked back, their expressions slightly changing.

Kenzhu wanted to explain immediately, but Zhou Hanyang waved his hand and said, "It's been five years since S3. Have you seen any version of the S-series championship team that won by playing a tank in the top lane?"

The two were taken aback upon hearing this.

"The reason I specifically chose you to play top lane is because, for the first half of the season, and even up until MSI, the top lane needs a front-line tank!" Zhou Hanyang walked over to the two of them and sat down on the steps.

"But at the World Championship, everyone is a top-tier team. If the two carries can't decide the winner, we need to focus on gaining an advantage in the top lane. But the prerequisite is that we must consistently qualify for the World Championship!"

Upon hearing this, Flandre shrugged: "So, in order to reliably qualify for Worlds, I have to play tanks?"

"Don't you think Ornn is a great top laner for you? He's all about defense and counter-attacks!" Zhou Hanyang raised an eyebrow and smiled. "When the opponent tries to break through you, your three Vulnerables combo won't be enough to keep them in check."

“That makes perfect sense!” Kenzhu quickly chimed in to support Zhou Hanyang.

"When you've mastered the front-line play, you can come find me, and I'll let you experience EDG's top lane offensive system." Zhou Hanyang patted Flandre on the shoulder and then turned to leave.
