Chapter 184: Not Banning a Top Lane Hero, Is This Still EDG?

"Unless we add one more person to EDG now, we will add two to one in the top lane, and the total number will be six to five, so EDG can win!"

As soon as Hao Kai made this joke, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Jokes aside.

But Hao Kai's words also accurately pointed out the dilemma that the EDG team is facing in this game.

That is, the top lane has been broken through, but there is no solution at all.

If EDG can have some way to solve LGD's top lane.

Hao Kai would not joke about adding one more person to EDG, and two to one in the top lane.

Hearing Hao Kai's joke, Wang Duoduo also joked:

"Six to five is of course impossible, but two to one in the top lane I think it's completely possible!"

"Oh! How two to one in the top lane?" After explaining two games with Wang Duoduo, Hao Kai also learned to pick up the conversation.

"It's actually very simple. Everyone here should have experienced it when they first played League of Legends!"

After a short pause, Wang Duoduo continued seriously: "EDG has a 2-1-2 split. Without a jungler, can't we play 2-on-1 in the top lane?"

As soon as this was said, there was a burst of laughter in the audience.

Oh, the 2-1-2 split is here, awesome!

Of course, many EDG fans laughed and laughed, but they couldn't laugh anymore.

After all, who wants their home team to be ridiculed all the time!

But this is unavoidable.

If you can't beat others, you can't avoid being ridiculed and teased.

There is only one eternal truth in e-sports competitions.

That is - e-sports, being bad is the original sin!

So, EDG fans don't expect anything to come back from 2-3.

They just hope that EDG can win this game and not be shaved bald by LGD.

If they really have to be shaved bald by 3-0, I don't know how long they will be laughed at by fans of other teams.

After all, when EDG dominated LPL a few years ago, EDG fans offended all the fans of other teams.

Reckoning is also a theme that can never be avoided in e-sports.

No team can escape reckoning.

Unless you can always win.

Is it possible?

After the laughter of the audience subsided, Haokai suddenly said: "I think EDG's two-on-one on the top lane is really feasible. This time I am serious. In the games a few years ago, two-on-one appeared on the side lanes. Isn't that normal!"

"Oh, Mr. Haokai, are you talking about changing lanes?" Wang Duoduo's reaction was also quite fast.

"But because of the existence of the first blood tower, I don't think I have seen any lane changes in this year's games!" Wang Duoduo followed.

"That's right!" Haokai nodded, "But I think EDG can really try it. Anyway, there is no other way, so let's try it as a last resort!"

"Then I look forward to hearing your advice, Coach Nofe!" Wang Duoduo smiled.

After another round of casual chatting on the commentary stand.

The BP interface suddenly appeared on the big screen at the scene.

"Okay, everyone, the BP has begun in the third game of the BO5 semi-final of the LPL Spring Playoffs between LGD and EDG!"

"In this game, LGD, who has the right to choose the side, took the initiative to choose the blue side."

"EDG is on the red side."

"Let's see the BP of both sides!"

The first round of BP.

LGD banned Graves, LeBron, and Shen.

EDG banned Titan, Elise, and Caitlyn.

As soon as the first three bans were completed on both sides.

Wang Duoduo immediately said: "I found something very strange!"

"What's the matter?" Hao Kai asked curiously.

"EDG banned three players in the first round, but not even one top laner!"

Wang Duoduo continued, "Of course, Titan can play top lane. But in the game against LGD, the one who banned Titan must be PYL's support Titan, not Zhou Shen's top lane Titan!"

"Yes!" Haokai nodded, "Don't say that Zhou Shen doesn't play tank top lane very often. Even if he really plays tank top lane, the opponent will be eager to play it, and it is impossible to ban tank heroes against Zhou Shen!"

"Then this is a bit interesting. In the past, Zhou Shen could not use Fiora at all and would always be banned in the first round. This time, she was used. I wonder if LGD will choose Fiora in the first round!"

As soon as the voice fell, LGD grabbed the Warwick on the first floor of the blue side.

"Oh, LGD didn't grab Zet's Ashe on the first floor, but chose to grab Warwick."

In the first game, LGD directly grabbed Ashe on the first floor of the blue side.

Because EDG's AD player Zet is a pure Ashe master

Without Ashe, Zet's strength is directly reduced by half.

So, when playing against EDG to grab Ashe, it is basically to grab instead of ban.

It is a very cost-effective pick.

However, in this game, LGD did not grab Ashe on the first floor of the blue side, but gave Ashe to EDG.

"Maybe LGD still thinks it is more important to get the Warwick!"

"With both Graves and Elise banned, Warwick is the strongest jungler left!"

"As for Ashe, she is not that strong in the version, but she is more important to EDG."

"In comparison, LGD is more inclined to get the version jungler Lee Sin first!" Haokai said.

It's EDG's turn to choose.

EDG picked Ashe and Lee Sin on the first and second floors of the red side.

"Sure enough, Ashe is a hero that EDG can choose!"

"Then there are no good jungle heroes left, there are only Gragas, Lee Sin, and Excavator, anyway, they are not considered T1 junglers in the version!"

"Among these heroes, Ai Loli chose Lee Sin, who she is more proficient in!"

"After all, it's a life-and-death game, I believe in my own unique Lee Sin!" Wang Duoduo said.

Then.

LGD chose Varus and Karma on the second and third floors of the blue side.

"LGD also followed the AD and picked up Imp, which has been used a lot this year, and Varus, who is also very good at it!"

"Then this Karma, swinging a hand, may be both a support and a mid-lane!" Wang Duoduo said.

"Yes!" Haokai nodded, "LGD can use Karma to swing, which is also due to Wei Shen's style change in the past one or two months!"

"The previous Wei Shen would definitely not play Karma, which may be said to be a more mixed mid-lane!"

"But now LGD has added the top lane as a carry point, Wei Shen can mix in the middle lane and is not afraid that no one will play output carry!"

Haokai's words can be regarded as "gilding" Wei Shen.

Because Wei Shen's style change is actually a bit forced.

Wei Shen's current level does not support him to play the kind of early-stage brush and late-stage C big core mage.

It's okay to play like this against weak teams.

But when you encounter a strong team, the mid-lane is also strong.

If Wei Shen still plays the brush big core, the team will easily explode.

You are short of one person in the early stage, how can you not explode against a strong team!

Of course, Haokai is right in one sentence.

The reason why Wei Shen was able to successfully transform is that Zhou Dian contributed a lot to it.

It is because the top laner can play output and C in the game.

Only the mid laner can safely play team-oriented and functional heroes.

Otherwise, does the output burden have to be placed on the ADC alone?

Wouldn't that mean four protecting one?

Many past experiences have proved this.

Four protecting one, it doesn't work!

Anyway, in a team, at least two of the three lanes, top, middle and bottom, must have carry capabilities to support the remaining lane as a tool.

However, based on Wei Shen's current play style, it seems quite mixed.

But not every team can play like this.

A typical example is EDG in the first game.

Let Scout play Karma in the mid lane, and EDG will just die!

Back to BP.

In the last pick of the first round, EDG locked Lulu on the third floor of the red side.

Seeing this, Haokai immediately said: "This Lulu should be a support. EDG can't swing this game!"

"I think it's the support Lulu!" Wang Duoduo followed, "EDG suffered a loss in the first game with the mid-lane Karma, and they will definitely not come up with a mid-lane Lulu again!"

"Let Scout play Lulu, it's a waste of Scout's ability!"

"Indeed!"

Haokai agreed deeply.

It came to the second round of BP.

EDG banned Taliyah and Braum.

LGD banned Ryze and Syndra.

As soon as both sides banned, Wang Duoduo immediately said: "Something is wrong, EDG is really wrong in this game!"

"What's wrong?" Haokai didn't react yet.

"EDG's ban!" Wang Duoduo said, "If they don't ban a single top hero, is this still EDG?"

"Well, they really didn't ban a single top hero!"

"Compared to EDG's previous game against LGD, they often banned three, four, or even five top heroes. It's really a bit unexpected that they didn't ban any of them in this game!"

Not only the commentator felt surprised.

In the live broadcast room of the event.

Many viewers who didn't notice this detail at first were also very puzzled by EDG's ban after being told by the commentator.

[No, what do you mean, EDG? Don't you treat me, Zhou Shen, as a human being? ]

[Fuck, when did my great Zhou Shen become so shameless that he couldn't even get a single ban? ]

[Isn't it that he's just giving up? ]

[It's possible! Anyway, even if they ban five top heroes, they still can't beat them, so why not ban any of them and give other lanes some BP advantages! ]

[It makes sense, but wouldn't that be too disrespectful to Zhou Shen? Who would use all of Zhou Shen's special heroes against LGD? 】

【It's over. I feel Zhou Shen is going to be angry because of this disrespect! 】

【Zhou Shen is very angry. The consequences are serious! 】

【I have a feeling that Zhou Shen's methods will be extremely bloody in this game! 】

【Brother Meng, what hero do you want to see Zhou Shen play in this game? 】

【It must be Fiora. Zhou Shen's Fiora hasn't been used for a long time! 】

【It must be Shen. How handsome it is when he kicks people with those long legs! 】

【I think it's Jayce who is hurt. When he is angry, he must fire cannons, and fire them hard! 】

【You are not right! 】

【.】

Back to BP.

In the second round, the red side picked first.

EDG chose Gragas on the fourth floor of the red side.

"Gragas top single!"

"EDG still picked a top laner hero who can start a team fight, and the hero Gragas is also very good at withstanding pressure!" Haokai said.

He had already assumed that Mouse would have to withstand pressure again in this game.

Hearing this, Wang Duoduo said: "Gragas's ability to withstand pressure depends on whether he will encounter Tristana!"

"Hahaha, indeed!" Haokai was immediately happy.

In the first game, Mouse's Gragas encountered Zhou Dian's very strange top lane Tristana, and he still remembered the miserable situation of being beaten.

"Will Zhou Shen continue to choose Tristana as top lane?"
