Chapter 616 Suddenly Becoming Brave
Shen Lang didn't know whether his encouragement was useful, but he had said everything he needed to say. How to operate in a crucial game ultimately depends on the player's own operation.
During the communication, the equipment was debugged quickly.
The game entered the BP stage.
EDG is on the blue side and SN is on the red side.
Normally, the blue side has a slightly higher winning rate than the red side, but for SN, it is definitely a good thing that they are on the red side in this game.
The red team has the final counter position, which means they have the upper hand in hero selection in the middle lane.
Judging from the strength of the players, Char Siu naturally doesn't think Maple can suppress Shen Lang, but if Maple gets a counter hero, at least he won't be suppressed by Shen Lang.
After a back-and-forth, the top three ban positions for both sides were quickly decided.
As expected, SN gave all the ban positions to the middle lane.
Heroes with very high skill ceilings like LeBron James and Akali, Cha Siu didn't dare to give them to Shen Lang.
After three bans, EDG was the first to choose a hero.
"Since we need to play more aggressively in this game, Jiejie should take the Prince first."
The factory manager respected Shen Lang's opinion very much and did not choose a conservative lineup in the crucial game.
Jiejie was a little surprised when she heard that, but she quickly nodded in agreement.
Just like Shen Lang said, there is no young player who doesn't want to stand out. In comparison, the Prince has more room for maneuver than Pig Girl.
"Jungle Prince? EDG is so bold!"
Miller was surprised.
The BP tone of a team can be seen from the first hero choice. EDG chose Jarvan IV instead of a functional jungler like Sejuani for the jungle position. This shows that they do not want to focus on stability in this game.
It's SN's turn.
The bottom lane combination was the first to be locked down.
ADC Xia, support Titan.
It's not that they don't want to take Xayah and Rakan, but they can't get them. Rakan was sent to the ban position, and Shen Lang's appearance had a huge impact on BP. SN had to give more ban positions to the mid lane. On the contrary, EDG did not have to leave the ban positions for the mid lane, and could effectively target SN's bottom lane combination.
EDG then quickly locked down the bottom lane combination.
Kaisa and Diana.
For the next jungler position, SN chose Sejuani.
In this game, the idea of Cha Siu coincides with Miller's -
The strategy is mainly stable, waiting for the opponent to make mistakes, so as to seize the opportunity to win the game.
"It seems the opponent wants to reserve the counter position for the middle lane."
Seeing that the opponent did not take the mid laner first, the factory manager immediately understood the intention of the opposing coach.
Shen Lang didn't care: "No matter how the opponent takes the counter position, my strength is there, I am not afraid of being targeted."
In his opinion, as long as it is not an obvious counter like Poppy, Irelia, Ekko and Syndra, the impact on the laning phase is not that big.
Operation and details are the deciding factors.
Continue BP.
After banning two heroes again, SN directly locked down the Captain in the top lane.
"Bring me the Steel Shadow!"
"Bring me Kled!"
Abin and Shen Lang spoke at the same time.
Compared to Jiejie, Abin obviously took Shen Lang's words to heart, so without waiting for the coach's arrangement, he took the initiative to state the hero he wanted to play.
The factory manager did not object to this and quickly signaled the players to lock on the corresponding heroes.
"Steel Shadow and Kled, won't this lack AP damage?"
Wawa started explaining quickly.
Miller immediately shook his head. "Although the top, mid, and jungle are all AD damage, Kaisa in the bottom lane has AP damage. EDG's top, mid, jungle, and bottom lane are all DPS, so they won't be lacking in damage, and they'll be very strong in the early game. There's nothing wrong with this choice."
"Also, Weiwu played Kled in this game, and there was no obvious counter to other heroes. After gaining the advantage, he was able to use his ultimate to support his teammates. EDG's draft and selection in this game were really good."
In the end, only SN’s mid laner was left to counter.
Shen Lang's Kled was indeed difficult to deal with. In Maple's hero pool, there was no hero that was stronger than it in the laning phase. After careful consideration, Char Siu finally locked on Galio.
Since it is difficult to counter in the laning phase, focus on roaming support.
Besides, Galio is a hero with strong laning ability, and his many control methods also cooperate well with the jungler.
With the final Galio locked in, the lineups for the fourth game between the two sides were quickly determined.
EDG is on the blue side: top lane Shen, jungle Jarvan IV, mid lane Kled, bottom lane Kaisa and Diana.
SN is on the red side: top lane Gangplank, jungle Sejuani, mid lane Galio, bottom lane Xayah and Nahm.
"Don't overthink this game. If you're not absolutely sure, it's best not to proactively look for opportunities. Wait until the late game and wait for Gangplank to rise, then play 5v5 with the opponent..."
Before leaving the stage, Coach Char Siu did not forget to give some reminders.
The five SN players nodded to indicate that they understood.
They are full of confidence for this game.
This may be their only chance to defeat EDG in this life, and they don't want to miss it.
As for EDG.
The factory director didn't say much. With Shen Lang around, his job as a coach was extremely easy. Shen Lang could even help with things like encouraging the players.
Of course, for the other EDG players, there was no need for the coach to say anything encouraging. Shen Lang just sitting next to them was the biggest motivation.
The coaches shook hands and left the stage, and the game began to load.
After entering the Summoner's Rift, players from both sides purchased equipment and walked out of the fountain.
In this game, Shen Lang chose Conqueror as his talent and Doran's Blade as his starting item. His opponent Galio chose Aftershock as his talent and Corruption Potion as his starting item.
The junglers of both teams started the game normally.
The prince is revealed, and Pig Girl starts with blue.
But after reaching level 2, Jiejie directly controlled the Prince to move towards the bottom lane.
The combination of a level 2 Prince, Kaisa, and Diana, as long as they can control it first, the damage is definitely enough to kill Xayah instantly.
"Is EDG trying to replicate an old tradition?"
The doll immediately started laughing and teasing.
As he was speaking, the Prince quickly came to the bottom lane, and with vision blocking, he came from the river to the side of the SN bottom lane combination.
Before the jungler came down, Meiko had already occupied the nearby bushes. The moment the Prince came out, he flashed and came to Xayah's side.
The Q skill had been released in advance, and the normal attack was launched, and Xia was immediately stunned on the spot.
Jiejie decisively gave up his flash and quickly used his EQ skill. iboy next to him controlled Kaisa to move forward, using A followed by Q...
Under the burst damage from everyone, Xia died instantly.
"Ness!!!"
Everyone in EDG cheered loudly.
Commentary seat.
Seeing EDG taking first blood, Wawa suddenly became excited:
"A good start! EDG broke the deadlock in just under 4 minutes. SN chose a conservative approach, but they never expected EDG to kill Xayah right at the start."
Brother Shuijing next to him was a little confused.
He was thinking that even if SN couldn't beat EDG in this game, at least the game would be very close. He didn't expect problems to arise in the bottom lane.
"No... what's going on? Why did EDG become so aggressive when Weiwu came on? Are you kidding me?"
Hearing this, the audience burst into laughter.
The director immediately switched the camera to the EDG lounge, and the substitute mid laner *** had a helpless expression on his face.
On the SN side, coach Cha Siu frowned.
Something is very wrong.
Even though Brother Shuijing seems to be joking, there is actually something wrong with what he said.
After Shen Lang came on the court, the spirit of the EDG team did change significantly.
At least in the first three games, EDG played very conservatively in the early stages and would never make such radical moves as catching the bottom lane at level two. The players seemed to have suddenly become brave.
