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

The lights at the EDG base shone late into the night. Zhou Hanyang sat in front of his computer in the corner of the training room, the ranking results page on the screen constantly refreshing.

He rubbed his aching wrists and turned to look at the dark sky outside the window.

Tomorrow is the first match of the Spring Split against FPX, and his ID—Attack—is prominently displayed in the jungler section.

The problems exposed in the training matches still feel like a thorn in my side.

Ah Shui's aggressive positioning in the bottom lane, Zuo Shou's occasional hesitation in team fights, and Flandre's vision gaps when facing ganks... every detail could become the ant hole that causes the dam to collapse.

"Still not asleep?" Mingkai walked in carrying a thermos, the steam rising from the rim of the cup obscuring his face. "You're playing jungle now, you need to maintain your dynamic vision."

Zhou Hanyang turned off the monitor, the metal chair legs scraping against the floor with a screeching sound: "I was thinking about FPX's new jungler, Pepper. Last season in LDL, his map control rate was among the top three in the league!"

“But your ability to invade the jungle is enough to shred any data.” Mingkai placed his thermos on the tactics board, where yellowed notes were densely filled with the movement habits of each FPX player.

Their conversation was interrupted by Ah Shui, who suddenly barged in. The boy, sporting messy curly hair and clutching a half-eaten chocolate, exclaimed, "Yang Shen, I just figured out a new EZ combo! Q-flash followed by an auto-attack to bait out the opponent's movement ability, it's absolutely..."

“You’ll be able to give away a double kill before level three.” Meiko’s voice came from the corridor. He was wearing an EDG team uniform jacket, and his eyes were slightly dark. “FPX’s bot lane duo averages 2.7 wards per ten minutes, which is just enough for you to perform your ‘personal initiation’.”

In later generations, Crisp would often risk his life to make eye surgery.

He is a representative support who believes that "a support can die, but cannot be without vision."

A burst of laughter erupted in the training room, slightly easing the tense atmosphere.

Zhou Hanyang turned on the projector, and the blue light projected the FPX team logo onto the tactical whiteboard.

When analyzing the opponent's mid laner Bing's Azir win rate, Mingkai said, "Azir has been buffed in this patch. Zhuo Ding, how's your Azir practice going?"

Previously, EDG's main strength lay in their mid and bot lane carries, and the mid-lane mage was not a problem for players like Fat and Scout.

"..." Left Hand grinned and said, "I've practiced a lot, and it feels pretty good!"

“It’s alright, we can use LeBlanc to fight the Tsar!” Zhou Hanyang said decisively before Mingkai could speak.

Are you kidding me?

The Tsar with the left hand?

Let's not choose that!

After talking for a long time, everyone dispersed.

It's just playing against FPX, so there's not much pressure on anyone.

I just want to do better!

The following afternoon at 5 p.m., the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center was bustling with activity.

When EDG's new team uniforms were unveiled, the audience erupted in a deafening roar.

"Welcome to the 2018 LPL Spring Split!" The commentator's voice boomed through the arena: "The biggest highlight today is the brand-new lineup of the champion team EDG!"

Attack players have moved from the top lane to the jungle, teaming up with the rising Chinese carry duo, Sailor... I wonder what kind of new chapter they'll create...

Amidst cheers from countless spectators, both teams made their entrance and took their seats.

The equipment had been tested before the players took the stage. After everyone entered the custom room in the competition uniform, the BP interface appeared on the big screen.

FPX was on the blue side in the first game, while EDG was on the red side!

FPX's coach this year is none other than White Crescent, a name familiar to countless people.

As soon as he came in, he chose to ban Zoe, Kalista, and Thresh.

Whether in ranked games or scrims, the left-handed Zoe can dominate the lane.

This hero is already strong in lane, and even more so when played by a left-handed player.

As for Thresh, that's Meiko's specialty, there's not much to say about it, Thresh can be built in any version of tank support.

The skateboard shoes are Ban's!

These days, Gege is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. He never slides backwards with his skateboard shoes and puts too much pressure on the opponent in the laning phase.

As long as the skateboard shoes slide forward, the opposing team will worry that the jungler is coming.

The opposing team wasn't completely unable to out-trade him; they just hadn't figured out Gege's laning habits yet and were worried about the jungler coming.

EDG banned Alistar, Gangplank, and Azir!

When they saw EDG's bans, commentators Remember and Rita were both dumbfounded.

"EDG didn't ban Ornn? Instead, they banned Gangplank? What kind of strategy are they planning?" Remember exclaimed in surprise.

The reason for making such a business plan was naturally at Zhou Hanyang's request.

Ornn is indeed in a class of his own in the current version, but that also depends on who plays him.

If it were Letme's Ornn, Zhou Hanyang would definitely ban it, but Gimgoon is essentially a top laner who plays a defensive counter-attacking style.

Gimgoon's laning phase ability is not strong; his stronger ability is in team fight damage output.

Therefore, Gimgoon's Captain should naturally be banned. Otherwise, if he gets fed in the late game, his AoE damage from a few barrels in team fights could easily turn the tide of the game.

White Crescent clearly didn't expect EDG to release Ornn, the strongest champion in the current patch.

While the upper limit of White Crescent's coaching ability may be debatable, his lower limit is actually quite good.

why?

Because he follows the meta closely, he picks any hero that's strong in the current meta, without considering whether the player can adapt to them.

A smile appeared on White Crescent's lips as he directly instructed Gongzi to lock Ornn on the first floor.

Since you've put it out there, then I'll choose it!
