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

After winning the first game against FPX, IG switched to the blue side for the second game.

At Zhou Hanyang's request, Gongzi's Gangplank was still banned, and FPX even skipped banning Ornn this time.

After Flandre got Ornn, GimGoon had no choice but to pick Vladimir to counter him since he didn't have Gangplank.

With a champion like Vladimir who is extremely weak in the early game being picked, Zhou Hanyang focused heavily on the top lane, and with the mid laner also having Ryze, it was easy to deal with Vladimir in the late game when split pushing.

EDG secured the victory in the second game.

They secured a winning start with a 2-0 victory!

After securing a winning start to the Spring Split, the EDG team returned to their club.

After everyone had a meal together at the club to celebrate, Nofe led everyone in a debriefing session.

In the initial replay, Nofe immediately identified the moment when GeGe's Ezreal was showing off in the mid lane and ended up giving away the mid lane turret.

"Why are you standing here? Can't you move back a bit?" Nofe asked, staring intently at Pigeon.

"I saw that the enemy's top and bottom lanes were at a disadvantage, and the minions were about to enter the turret. Even if three of them came, I could escape with Flash. But I didn't expect..." Gege pointed at the screen, trying to explain.

However, before he could finish speaking, Nofe interrupted him: "I didn't expect the other side to send four people directly?"

"Yes!" Pigeon nodded slowly.

“What you said is definitely true,” Nofe affirmed, then countered, “So what does this have to do with you?”

Nofe's question completely baffled Gege.

What do you mean by "what does it have to do with me"?

If the other side doesn't come, I won't die, right?

"If the other side doesn't come, can you kill Kog'Maw?" Nofe asked the bewildered Pigeon.

“Uh…” Gege paused slightly and instinctively shook her head: “No.”

"Then why are you standing so far forward?" Nofe asked, puzzled. "If you could have killed him this time, I wouldn't have said anything. But since you can't kill him, why are you standing so far forward?"

"..." Pigeon fell silent for a moment. Nofe seemed to have a lot to say: "Mine, mine, I won't be so lax next time."

"OK!" Seeing that Gege realized her mistake, Nofe didn't say anything more.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhou Hanyang's face.

When Zhou Hanyang saw Nofe looking at him, he immediately understood what Nofe wanted to ask, since they had worked together for a year.

"Why didn't you force a team fight at Baron Nashor in the first game? It couldn't be because Ezreal died in the mid lane, could it?" Nofe asked, voicing his doubts.

“That’s definitely not it!” Zhou Hanyang shook his head, and after pondering for a while, he finally spoke: “There are two reasons why I didn’t command them to force a team fight at Baron.”

"Tell me!" Nofe asked, looking very curious.

"The removal of the incense burner has led to a decline in the ADC's output ability!" Zhou Hanyang said carefully, "At the same time, their survivability has also become an issue."

Nofe nodded slightly. This was common knowledge, and he was looking forward to Zhou Hanyang's next words.

"In last year's version, AD carries actually had neither output pressure nor survivability pressure," Zhou Han continued. "But in this version, AD carries have both output pressure and survivability pressure."

If the mid lane had been a Xayah and Janna or Lulu and Tristana, they definitely wouldn't have died. As long as the abilities were used correctly, even if five enemies came, they wouldn't have died!

Zhou Hanyang paused for a moment, then continued, "So at this time last year, even if A, who wasn't developing well, and the mid laner made up for the damage."

Given my significant advantage in the top lane, which made me more impactful in team fights than the enemy top laner, it was a good time to force a team fight at Baron.

As a top-rated coach, Nofe immediately understood the subtext in Zhou Hanyang's words.

"Do you think something bad will happen to the Dragon team?" Nofe suddenly raised his eyebrows.

“That’s right!” Zhou Hanyang said affirmatively, “Because I can’t jungle like Mingkai, I don’t care about my own development at all, and I just need to initiate team fights.”

In addition, I also had to take care of the three carries in this game, so I couldn't suppress the enemy jungler in the same way I used to suppress the top laner.

Simply put, last year I could average over 2000 gold in a lane matchup after 20 minutes. Now that lead is split between me and Flandre.

At this point in Zhou Hanyang's speech, Nofe had completely understood what he meant.

The sharing of economic burdens will result in a lack of complete equipment.

Previously, if Zhou Hanyang didn't buy level 2 boots within 20 minutes of playing top lane, he could usually build three items.

However, in this game, Zhou Hanyang's Kindred only had one more Black Cleaver after 20 minutes, including the jungle item and level 2 boots.

Similarly, Flandre's Fiora also doesn't have the three-item build.

This raises a problem: Zhou Hanyang's room for maneuver decreases in team battles.

With the increased pressure on AD carry survival and damage output, EDG's ability to force team fights at the 20-minute mark is becoming more vulnerable.

Not only will they be severely damaged by the Baron Nashor, but they will also easily lack sufficient damage in 5v5 head-on team fights.

"Is it a problem with choosing Fiora?" Flandre asked.

This game features a double marksman composition of Kindred and Ezreal, so theoretically there shouldn't be a lack of damage.

When selecting a front-line champion in practice matches, Zhou Hanyang never raised this question.

"No!" Zhou Hanyang shook his head slightly: "It's just that I personally believe the risks and rewards are disproportionate. In some ways, our team has gone from 3C last year to 4C this year!"

Finally, Zhou Hanyang's gaze fell on Mingkai's face.

Mingkai's face immediately darkened!

Damn it!

Why are you looking at me?

The slightly tense atmosphere immediately relaxed, and everyone couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Simply put, I think that with 4C, we don't need to fight to the death with the opponent at all. We have the advantage in the minion wave and we also have the advantage in personnel. We can continue to develop with the opponent. If we develop to the late game, we can easily beat them, right?" Zhou Hanyang chuckled, his face full of confidence.

Upon hearing Zhou Hanyang's words, Nofe was slightly taken aback, then his face was filled with amazement.

People tend to have habitual ways of thinking!

Few people can step out of their comfort zone, especially the comfort zone of winning a championship.

Nofe really didn't expect that the championship hype hadn't completely cooled down yet.

Zhou Hanyang resolutely broke away from the playstyle that led to EDG's championship victory.

Besides saying Zhou Hanyang is "so clear-headed," his ability to read the game is also quite important.

Just because of the death of the mid laner, Zhou Hanyang realized that the AD carry's survival environment and output pressure had increased dramatically in this version.

Even Nofe, from his perspective, believed that this was because Gege's Ezreal was positioned too far forward and didn't consider the AD carry's survival.

This is the ability to read a game!

In this respect, no one can surpass Zhou Hanyang!
