Chapter 156 This is a tower pushing game

But this time, Lin Dong did not say it directly.

Because he felt that it was unlikely that EDG would choose Malzahar as the mid laner.

The biggest problem with the hero Malzahar is that he can only play as a gambler but cannot carry the team.

For a team like EDG that doesn't like to take care of the top lane, the middle lane needs a more stable output point.

So Lin Dong decided to wait and see before making any plans.

At this time, Hongmi, who was standing by, did not notice anything was wrong.

When he saw that EDG actually chose to leave the first floor to the AD position and even picked Jhin, his first reaction was...

“Can Deft play Jhin?”

"I remember that he didn't seem to practice this hero much?"

"Could it be that they want to use the bottom lane combination we used against RNG before?"

"But that's not right! If that's the case, Jhin and Xerath should be selected at the same time. It's impossible to pick them directly on the first floor."

Hearing Hongmi's words, Xiaoduan on the side spoke subconsciously.

"Not necessarily. As long as the Marquis doesn't play and we don't ban Xerath, basically no one will pick him, so the opponent shouldn't be worried that we will snatch Xerath away."

"After all, even if we steal it, Xerath can only appear in the support position, and the bottom lane will become two squishy. In this way, it will be easy for the opponent to train the bottom lane."

"So I think... it's better to ignore this Zelas for now."

After hearing Xiao Duan's analysis, Hongmi nodded secretly.

When the spring season came, this kid's eyes still revealed clear stupidity, but it hasn't been long since then, and he has been able to stand on his own, especially this wave of analysis, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is comprehensive.

So after a moment, Hongmi also made a decision and spoke.

"We can't out-attack Jhin. We must find a way to gain an advantage in the bottom lane."

"Choose one among Lucian, Miss Fortune and Skateboard Shoes."

"As for Miss Fortune, it's not suitable to be picked first, because she has no displacement skills and is easy to die. Once we don't have a large group control, Miss Fortune's ultimate skill will be difficult to use."

"Skateboard shoes are not suitable for this game either."

"Skateboards relies on the passive to chase people, but Jhin's movement speed is faster and he can be easily pulled away from him. As a result, he can't be effective in the early stage."

“Lucian should be the best choice.”

"Don't fight with the enemy's bottom lane, just E up and kill him."

"If you want support, I'll fill in later. Thresh or Alistar will do. If that doesn't work, Nami will work too."

"Let's pick the top laner first. Doesn't EDG like to play tanks in the top lane? Pick the Troll first! I want to see how tanky their top laner can be after being sucked in by the Troll's ultimate!"

"And if you choose the Troll, the opponent may grab the Minotaur in advance. After all, the damage reduction effect of the Minotaur's ultimate can not only reduce damage, but also prevent the Troll from absorbing your dual resistances."

This time, there was nothing wrong with Redmi's decision, and it was considered a small counterattack against EDG.

However, the EDG team was well prepared.

Especially when he saw VG pick Lucian and Troll in succession, the smile on Abu's face became even bigger.

There is no other reason.

Because these two heroes both rely on basic attacks to output!
And Shen... happens to be the nemesis of basic attacks!

The key is that Shen's resistance mainly comes from the shield provided by the skills and the blocking effect provided by the W skill. Compared with other tanks, the demand for resistance is not very high.

As a result, VG's plan to use the top troll to annoy the tank was completely thwarted.

So when he saw VG choose these two heroes, Abu almost laughed out loud and quickly said.

"The other side really delivered it to our door."

"Hurry and get Shen and Nightmare!"

"Pick Lucian and try to gain an advantage in the bottom lane?"

"I want to see if you dare to E up after reaching level 6!"

At the same time, on the other side.

Seeing EDG choose these two heroes, Hongmi finally realized the seriousness of the problem. He frowned and said.

"It's bad, I've been tricked!"

"Although we banned EDG's previously used Twisted Fate system, we forgot about their global flow!"

"And EDG has used this style of play before, but we defeated them once. They must have studied it after they went down!"

"So this Shen... must be their trump card!"

"Lucian probably won't perform well in this game."

"With Shen and Nightmare watching over us, it will be hard for the bottom lane to gain an advantage."

"And even if you gain an advantage in the laning phase, it's hard to snowball after level 6."

"I'm afraid we have to play the mid-jungle rhythm in this game."

"Lin Dong, Leng Shao, you two can choose first?"

"It just so happens that Yao Ji is still outside, we can take it for her."

However, just as Hongmi finished speaking, Lin Dong suddenly had an idea in his mind, as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted quickly.

"No! You can't choose Enchantress!"

"Ah? Why?" Leng Shao half-jokingly asked, "You still don't believe in my Ahri? Besides, the opponent's mid laner is not Rookie, you can just come and help me with the military training."

But this time, Lin Dong's attitude was very firm and he shook his head.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I feel that EDG may have a trap in this game."

"There are still traps?" Leng Shao was stunned.

"Didn't you find that EDG's bans in this game are very strange?" Lin Dong explained. "Under normal circumstances, who would ban Tam and Morgana? What if the opponent chooses Malzahar like RNG? When you use your W skill, Malzahar will use his ultimate to suck you in before you can finish your combo. As soon as you die, the opponent's Shen will come up with his E skill and use his W skill to block you. We won't be able to deal with the opponent's front row at all."

"Malzahar? But this hero is not good at laning, right?" Xiao Duan said subconsciously.

"What if it's a support?" Lin Dong asked, "If a support can force our key carry to buy Mercury's Band, wouldn't he make a lot of money? Anyway, in this game, the opponent has already picked Jhin, and they definitely don't want to fight in the bottom lane. Picking Malzahar to push the line can also play to the advantages of Doran's Ring Jhin."

Hearing this, even Hongmi couldn't help but sigh and said.

"That's true, but the problem now is... With Nightmare and Shen here, we are very passive in laning, teamfighting, and mid-game operations, and we can't win at all."

However, upon hearing this, Lin Dong laughed.

He took a look at EDG's lineup, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said.

"Coach, did you forget something?"

"This is not a laning game, nor a team game, but a tower-pushing game!"

At the same time, in the commentary booth.

Looking at the lineups of both teams at this time, the three began to analyze.

The colonel spoke first.

"EDG still chose to focus on the bottom lane."

"The only difference from the previous game is that EDG's support point in this game is the top lane."

"It's mainly because Pawn hasn't been able to get the Card during this period of time, so the burden of cooperating with the jungler to target the bottom lane has been placed on Kou Rou!"

"But I have to say that EDG's Shen was a really good choice! Both Lucian and Troll relied on basic attacks for output, and were restrained by Shen's sword formation."

"Now it depends on how VG will respond." "Huh? VG picked... Sion?"

"Is this top lane Sion?"

"Sion's damage comes mainly from his skills. Compared to Troll, it is much easier to play against Shen in the lane. It is indeed a good choice to move Troll to the support or jungle position."

"VG's Sion pick was a smart one!"

"But this auxiliary Bard seems a bit... not in line with the lineup, right?"

"It feels a bit weird to have Bard and Lucian go to the bottom lane together."

"But it is also possible that he is using Bard's ultimate to counter Malzahar's ultimate. When Meiko's ultimate suppresses someone, Bard will use his ultimate to help his teammates delay time."

"And EDG picked Lulu and... Malzahar?"

"This Lulu is a mid laner, not a support, right? After all, Lulu and Jhin don't really match well. Malzahar is a support, which is more suitable."

"And if this happens... Young Master Leng will be uncomfortable!"

"Malzahar's ultimate has a suppressing effect, plus Lulu's ultimate and sheep transformation, it's hard to kill him alone in a laning match. When he gets involved in a team fight, he's easily killed instantly."

"In this round, VG's lineup seems a bit too bad!"

At the same time, seeing that EDG actually did as Lin Dong expected, not only did they take out Malzahar, but they also took out the mid laner Lulu, Leng Shao couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and then he cursed under his breath.

"Fuck! Is it that serious? Are you disgusting me so much?"

“Nonsense, who told you that you are the easiest to target?” Lin Dong said unhappily, “And once Bard comes out, the opponent will know that our troll must be a jungler, so they only need to target you.”

"So... what should I play in this round?" Leng Shao frowned. "I definitely can't play with the opponent's lineup. Do you want me to play a mage? But my mage can only play a fox! How about a fox?"

However, after hearing what Leng Shao said, Lin Dong shook his head and said.

"I told you at the beginning, don't think about teamfighting in this round, this is a tower-pushing game!"

"The opponent's mid laner is a small mage with long arms and a shield. Can't you just smash him and his shield together?"

Hearing this, Leng Shao was stunned!
"There is such a mid-lane hero?"

Two people with shields just smash it?

This damn Lulu is the assassin's nemesis!

You rush over and attack him, but he has a shield and won't lose much health. Then he turns into a sheep and uses his long arms to chase you and attack you madly. Even if you can find another opportunity, you can't beat him!

In case the opponent's mid laner is more disgusting, bring a Weakness...

However, Hongmi at this time already understood Lin Dong's thoughts, and he said with a smile.

"Lin Dong means that you should take this Lucian and go to the middle. His reach is long, and your reach is also long. Keep attacking and see who has the higher damage?"

"But, wasn't it agreed that Lucian in the middle lane..."

"That's right. Now is the last resort." Hongmi sighed and replied, "I have no other choice with this lineup. Lin Dong, if you have any good ideas, please tell me now."

"For this round, our strategy can be summed up in two words." Lin Dong grinned, "Push the tower!"

"How do we push this?" Xiao Duan was stunned. "Lucian is in the middle lane, so we have no AP! What should I choose on the fifth floor?"

"Choose the bomber."

next second.

The VG voice chat suddenly became quiet.

At the same time, on the other side.

At this time, everyone in EDG breathed a sigh of relief as they saw VG start to hesitate again as they were familiar with each other.

Although the opponent forced a position change, replacing the top lane Troll with the jungle position, and then took out a top lane Sion...but isn't the hero Sion just a waste in this version?

In Abu's opinion, since the positions have been changed, it is better to choose a top lane Gragas instead of a top lane Sion.

"Sion? Compared to Gragas, he probably has one more advantage."

"That means the ultimate skill can also provide support. The opponent probably wants to use it just for this reason."

"But, the opponent's mid laner is already ruined in this game."

"If you choose an assassin, he will be countered by our Zhong Fu Tian. If you choose a mage, he won't be able to play it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an avatar light up on the fifth floor of VG, and then it was quickly locked down.

bomb-man!
As expected, the moment the bomber was locked down, the crowd in the audience went wild.

"Ah? What is this?"

"What the hell is this bomber?"

"Wait? Did I see it right? VG picked Ziggs? The question is, can Leng Shao play this kind of mage hero?"

"No... Hongmi, what are you doing? The middle lane in this game is not the Houye!"

"To be honest, if Hou Ye came and chose this Zipper, I might be able to understand it. After all, last year in LCK, Hou Ye's Zipper was amazing. In the middle lane, you could only see the bomb but not the person. But Leng Shao... to be honest, it's a good thing that he didn't give up this game."

"Alas! It seems that VG was really fooled in this game and had no choice but to choose this lineup."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, EDG's move of cutting off the source of their support was really vicious. Even though they don't have Ryze, with Malzahar and Lulu, any assassin that comes along will be enough to give them a hard time!"

However, just as everyone was making up their minds about the lineups of the two teams, something strange happened.

It was at the last moment when the lineup was determined.

In VG's lineup, the positions of Lucian and Ziggs were suddenly swapped!
The lineup was determined in an instant.

EDG, blue square.

Shen on top, Nightmare on jungle, Lulu in mid, Jhin + Malzahar on bottom lane.

VG, Red Square
Sion on top, Troll in the jungle, Lucian in the middle, Ziggs + Bard on the bottom lane.

This sudden scene directly burned out the CPUs of everyone present!
Even the three people in the commentary booth were confused.

Wawa spoke with a look of disbelief.

"Wait? Lucian in the middle? Ziggs goes down?"

"What kind of new lineup is this for VG? Is this really correct?"

"Isn't Sima Laozei an ADC? Can he also play a mage hero like Ziggs?"

In fact, Sima Laozei doesn’t know how to play Bomber.

If I have to say something, it was probably during the training match a while ago, when I was playing against A Shui and was tortured by the opponent's Draven for a while, then I listened to Lin Dong's advice and tried a few games of playing the mage in the bottom lane.

Of course, the effect is not particularly good, but it is not too bad either.

I thought it was just daily entertainment, but I never expected that it would actually come in handy one day!
Just now, the moment Lin Dong said the three words "Bomb Man", everyone in VG was shocked.

Everyone's reaction was exactly the same.

"Brother Ma can play this? In our team, only Lord Hou can play this, right? Right, Brother Ma?"

However, unexpectedly.

Sima Laothie, who has always been low-key, did not take advantage of the situation to say that he did not know how to play. Instead, he took a deep breath and replied.

“I haven’t played it much, but I don’t think it’s difficult. I can give it a try.”

"Isn't it just hiding behind and throwing skills, then clearing the line?"

"Is it possible that it could be more difficult to play than AD?"
