Volume 2 Chapter 119 Five-star General MacArthur once commented...

"Why did we fight like this?"

Backstage, Big B couldn't help but speak up.

He is the only big C of JDG now, and he is also the one who wants to win the most.

EDG is very strong, otherwise they wouldn't have beaten SKT in MSI.

But no matter how strong EDG is, it is impossible for them to beat the opponent to this extent during the laning phase, right?

This is something Big B cannot accept.

If you can't even hold your own against the opponent during the laning phase, how can you win the game?

Starting from the three minutes, will you choose to believe in me, Brother B in Desperate Situation?

The key is that I am also a Victor.

This hero needs time to develop. It's unrealistic to expect me to kill the opponent's Scout in the early stage and then set the pace, right?

"...Actually it was mainly my fault. I didn't expect there was another Xia on the other side."

The JDG coach is still very responsible and took the blame in a deep voice.

"I was tricked by the opponent in the BP, and I failed to remind you of the strength of the opponent's double W at level 1. This is my fault."

He really thought so.

In fact, the opponent's Korean server data was already there, but he thought Xu Yuan didn't dare to take it at all, so he chose to release it. If you have to say it, he is indeed to blame.

"Give him Xia in the next round, we'll go to the back row, we have a chance!"

JDG coach tried to cheer up the players.

Even if EDG is truly invincible, they can't be allowed to take two points so easily, right?

Our JDG is not that weak!

"... Actually, JDG is quite weak. Only Doinb in the middle lane can hold up the laning phase a little bit. The other lanes can't hold up during the laning phase."

In the EDG lounge, Abu spoke calmly.

There was only calmness on his face.

There are no other emotions besides this.

After experiencing the baptism of MSI, under the heavy pressure of SKT, the entire EDG is actually growing rapidly, and even Abu is more confident than before.

"The top laner on the other side is not my opponent."

Smeb spoke slowly, with only a confident smile on his face.

The feeling in EDG is pretty good, mainly because my teammates really want to provide support.

When it came to KT, because the mid lane sometimes had problems, it was difficult for the jungler to take care of Smeb in the top lane.

Even though MingKai doesn't go to the front too many times, the timing of his going there is more critical, and it can also provide some protection for Smeb when he is solo-driving later.

That was enough for Smeb.

This is the case for all top laners. They don’t need the jungler to come to the top lane all the time because they are confident that they can make a breakthrough on their own.

He just needs the jungler to do what he should do at critical moments.

And MingKai has met Smeb's requirements.

After all, even though Mingkai's operations may sometimes go wrong, his positions are generally correct.

What makes Smeb even happier is naturally the bottom lane Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan almost never called the jungler during the laning phase, and he knew how to sacrifice a little of his own laning phase to help the jungle.

This is particularly valuable.

The decision he made in the decisive battle was also amazing.

Let the mid and jungle rush the dragon, use the advantage of their own equipment to save Smeb, and then complete a beautiful three-on-five situation.

This decision-making ability is very strong!

Noticing Smeb's gaze towards him, Xu Yuan turned his head to look at the smiling Smeb, feeling a little confused.

...What is Smeb laughing at?

"I feel like I won't be able to release Xia in the next game. Maybe I can release one Rakan, but it's also possible that I won't be able to release both."

Xu Yuan spoke in a deep voice.

"They will definitely target me. Do we need to push the bottom lane in the next game? Or should we just develop steadily?"

He wanted to hear what Abu thought.

"Press, why not press?"

"Just continue with the same strategy as last game, and let Scout suppress Doinb so that he can't leave the lane."

"If Doinb, the rhythm engine, can't move, then JDG will have no chance of turning the game around."

Abu spoke decisively.

"Is that all right, Scout?"

Scout nodded slightly.

"His laning ability is pretty good. It's difficult for me to kill him alone, but if I just want to suppress him... no problem!"

Doinb does have his own way in laning phases. At least no matter what kind of mid laner he faces, his mid lane rarely collapses.

Many people think that he is not very good at laning, which is unreasonable.

If they really weren't good at laning, mid laners like rookie and Scout would have killed them long ago.

For these two people, killing the noob mid laner is no different from killing a pig.

Doinb can level the line, and he is indeed good at laning.

After a short break, the players from both sides returned to the field.

The JDG players had serious expressions, while the EDG players did not look happy either and were equally serious.

This is a BO3, it's not enough to just win one game.

"Okay, let's get back to the game. Mr. Miller, how do you think JDG can break through EDG's blockade? EDG is very good at playing in the early game, which actually puts a lot of pressure on people."

Wawa finished his opening remarks with a smile and asked Miller beside him.

"In fact, we all know that EDG's early game rhythm is often based on having lane control."

Miller spoke softly.

"If I were JDG, the first thing I would do in the second game would be to kill the Xia that I couldn't handle, and then try to get some heroes that can have lane control, so that the early game wouldn't be as passive as in the last game."

He thinks the problem lies with online rights.

If EDG wasn't pushing the line in all three lanes, would MingKai be able to play so well?

Obviously not.

The relationship between the line and the jungler is interdependent.

However, although the barrage also understood what Miller said, they still did not look favorably upon JDG.

"That being said, what lineup should JDG use to ensure that there will be no problems in the laning phase?"

"The strength of EDG's three lines is really exaggerated now. A team like JDG can't stand it at all."

"You can only use heroes that are strong in the laning phase. As for what to do after the laning phase, we will figure it out when the time comes. If you can't even hold out during the laning phase, then you're done."

To put it bluntly, the players' personal abilities are there.

Even if you pick a strong hero online, does that mean you can definitely gain an advantage online?

Not necessarily.

BP, start!

JDG still chose the blue side in the second game.

Regardless of the version, the blue team's win rate can be maintained relatively well, and is often better than that of the red team.

Unless it is a meta where top lane is important, a strong first pick can help the team gain a significant advantage.

And EDG naturally reached the red side.

"Red team again?"

Xu Yuan felt a little regretful.

"It's still important for the blue team to grab the hero first. I thought I had a chance to get another Xia this time, but it looks like I won't get it."

It can be seen that JDG is still very smart. In the first round, they took down Xayah, Jinx and Skateboards.

With the arrival of the summer season, skateboard shoes have been quietly popular in the Korean server Rank for a long time.

Although there is no censer monster strategy yet, as heroes like Ashe were weakened after MSI, the priority of Miss Fortune began to rise.

There is no need to say much about Xia. In the last game, Xu Yuan didn't even die, so JDG's team fights could easily end in vain.

The final Jinx was moved out of pure respect. Although the JDG coach considered whether to move Rakan, they were confident that they would get it if they chose the blue side.

And even if EDG defeated Luo, it also tricked EDG into moving.

For JDG, this move is an open conspiracy.

EDG chose to kill Maokai, Ryze and Twisted Fate.

"The heroes with the most stats in his rank are Ryze and Card. Doinb doesn't know many traditional mages, but these two heroes are the most intimidating."

"Even if it's Victor, it doesn't matter to us. He won't last until the strong period!"

Abu looked at the JDG players next to him with a deep gaze and spoke calmly.

As long as Doinb is not allowed to set the pace, the game is almost won.

Hard power!

As for the big tree, there is no need to say much. Abu wants JDG to make a decision.

There are not many top lane heroes who can fight against Gragas nowadays, and Prince happens to be one of them.

If JDG is given the Barrel, do you dare to take it?

If you take the wine barrel, I will be the prince.

I know very well that you don't play Prince in the top lane.

JDG's BP was indeed a bit difficult to maintain.

The main thing is that everyone knows that your team can only rely on the mid laner, so others can just target your mid laner.

Just like a four-protect-one lineup.

Everyone knows that the only output of your lineup is AD, so if the AD is killed, the team battle is over.

This is what SKT thought at MSI, but Xu Yuan did not give them the chance.

"What are you playing..."

Big B thought about it over and over again.

If I have to say, if you want to set the pace, there is also a Taliyah.

But the mid laner on the opposite side...he knows Syndra.

When Taliyah fights Syndra, it's not like a daughter fighting her mother, but at least it's like a niece fighting her aunt. She's just being played around with.

If they want to release Taliyah, they can only move Syndra, which will make JDG's already tight mobility situation even worse.

JDG can only choose to grab Taliyah in one go.

Big B took it with gritted teeth.

Even though he knew that this laning phase was difficult, he had no other choice.

If he wants to win, he only has a slight chance by relying on his roaming ability.

"Huo... Rock Sparrow?"

Abu looked a little surprised.

He released Taliyah to fight against Syndra, and I thought JDG would not pick Taliyah after considering it for a while.

I didn't expect that I would choose it in the end.

The opponent’s mid laner...seems like he really wants to win, right?

"Sindra, the policewoman."

Abu's expression became calm again.

I know you want to win, but what?

Nothing more happened.

Your JDG's biggest problem has been exposed to us EDG.

Not good at laning?

Then, I'm coming in!

He directly locked onto Policewoman Syndra, and the bloodthirsty aura spread out in the blink of an eye.

We, EDG, are here to fight against you!

"Policewoman...will he?"

Uzi, who was watching the game, was stunned for a moment.

To be honest, he had never seen Xu Yuan's policewoman.

The most played character last season was Jinx, followed by Ashe.

He thought Xu Yuan hadn't practiced the hero, the policewoman.

It turns out that the clown is actually me?

This is because Brother Uzbekistan overestimated Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan really didn’t know how to play the policewoman last season.

Although her talent is already maxed out, the policewoman's cultural level is indeed a bit high.

His other bonus is only useful for heroes whose culture is synchronized with Ding Zhen.

So although the practice speed is not particularly slow, it is not particularly fast either.

But just like how Brother Wuzi became familiar after a while after he became famous, just because Xu Yuan didn’t do it then doesn’t mean he won’t do it now.

During the holiday, after ensuring that he had enough proficiency in Xia, the hero that Xu Yuan practiced the most was the Policewoman!

Because unlike other ADs, he knows the general direction of the future version.

Although it is impossible to know every detail of the changes , Xu Yuan still knows clearly which ADCs are more popular in which versions.

Naturally, I used this extra information to start training the policewoman in advance.

This is also one of the benefits of rebirth.

You already know which heroes are going to be popular, so you can naturally practice in advance.

Of course, this benefit is not always available.

Because history is being changed by Xu Yuan!

It is foreseeable that if Xu Yuan really wins the S-League championship at the end of this year...

Then the attack that Riot originally intended to use against the champion team SSG in the early version of the S8 season will now be targeted at EDG.

After all, if you say that after winning the championship, Riot would weaken the runner-up team, this obviously doesn't make sense.

Therefore, this information is timely.

But Xu Yuan was not particularly panicked.

Because even if the target is different, Riot will definitely release the heroes it should release.

The designers who design heroes and the designers who design versions are not the same people.

As long as the general version remains, he will still have a natural advantage over others.

As Syndra was locked on, JDG coach's forehead began to sweat.

He originally wanted to take a strong hero.

I want to use the hero's strength to make up for the gap in laning level.

However, Abu counterattacked and took down Syndra and Policewoman, two very powerful double Cs in the laning phase, which really made the JDG coach a little dizzy.

What to do with this line?

He forced himself to remain calm, "Ice Jella!"

At this point, the only option is to steal SKT's MSI lineup.

Although Ashe has been nerfed, Jyra's laning phase is still brainless.

Generally, the policewoman is paired with a hard support, and Jella is very useful against those stupid hard supports.

Abu smiled evilly.

"Lacus!"

"ah?"

The doll is a little confused.

Lux? Is this hero actually playable?

Even in ranked matches, AD should have a headache when seeing that his support is Lux, right?

But Abu just wanted to laugh.

Are you laughing at me for not understanding the version?

I laugh at you for not understanding Meiko!

Who wants to play hard support with you?

As long as it is not a version that forces hard support to play, Abu will always choose the same soft support for Meiko based on different lineups!

Because Meiko’s hard support is really a bit stinky.

As a coach, Abu must urge him to practice heroes while finding ways to make the best use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses in BP.

This is what a real coach needs to do.

Abu is aware that he is only mediocre in terms of BP.

But because of this, he never believed the strange ideas that occasionally popped up in his mind.

I can only do BP honestly.

And this is enough for the team.

In the second round, EDG killed Lee Sin and Nidalee.

And JDG killed Prince Gnar.

In fact, in the first round, Xu Yuan wanted Abu to move Lee Sin, but Abu said no, because the opponent would not choose it.

Xu Yuan was very curious and asked Abu why.

"If you pick Lee Sin as your jungler, what should you pick for mid lane? It's nothing more than a development hero. Choosing a tempo hero will waste Lee Sin's strong period, unless the mid and jungle cooperate."

“The question is, who can we rely on in the later stages?”

"So if Lee Sin is chosen and the mid laner also plays a tempo hero, then JDG will have no late-game core."

"And this time, JDG will definitely rely on Doinb in the middle lane to set the pace!"

"The jungler can only be a core jungler."

Abu smiled.

"This is what coach kkoma taught me. I have already summarized it after the MSI."

Is he really a genius?

This was Xu Yuan’s only thought.

He was a little surprised that Abu could steal coach Kkoma's BP.

middle!

In the fourth hand, EDG took the barrel for Mingkai and used it to swing at the same time.

Are you afraid of beating the prince?
