Chapter 159: Lucian's Replacement, Tristana on the Top

Chapter 159 Lucian’s replacement—small artillery top laner

I wanted to see Yasuo but didn’t see it.

So some disappointed viewers were cursing on the barrage, but LGD had already locked Ashe on the first floor of the blue square.

"Oh, LGD is trying to steal Ashe!"

"Actually, the hero Ashe can even be said to be the lifeblood of EDG!"

"Zet player Ashe's usage rate is very high, and her winning rate is also very high!"

"Then when LGD grabs Ashe, it's a bit like grabbing instead of banning!"

Wang Duoduo is very accurate on this point.

LGD took Ashe on the first floor, more to prevent EDG from getting Ashe, not that they had to play here.

Mainly EDG's current AD-Zet, this guy used to play mid lane.

It didn't take long before I moved to the AD position, and the hero pool was a big problem.

When it can't get Ashe, its overall strength will inevitably drop.

Subsequently, EDG selected Kalma and Male Gun on the first and second floors of the red square.

"EDG's Karma has the possibility of playing two positions: mid laner and support. It's a swing!"

Then, LGD chose Spider and Thresh on the second and third floors of the blue square.

"Oh, Ai Luoli chose a male jungler who favors team development. Here, Eimy chose a spider with a very strong rhythm ability on her backhand, and she's facing you!"

Hao Kai continued: "And this Thresh is also an auxiliary hero with very strong offensive and rhythmic abilities!"

"LGD's top three hero selections are very controllable and very offensive!"

There is only one last hand left in the first round of picks.

EDG chose the female police officer on the third floor of the red square.

"Just looking at the top three picks on both sides, I am more optimistic about this lineup. LGD is more proactive than EDG!"

"EDG obviously wanted to play a defensive counterattack in this set. As long as I develop steadily, the mid-to-late game will be easy to play."

"Then it depends on how EDG chooses players to defend against LGD's attack!" Hao Kai said.

Come to the second round of BP.

EDG banned Jace and Lucian.

LGD banned Jie, Poppy.

"EDG banned Jayce and Lucian in their last two moves. They probably banned Zhou Shen, and they banned these two long-term top laners!"

"In that case, EDG has banned four top lane heroes in this game!" Wang Duoduo said.

"This...basic operation, I can only say that the basic operation is good!" Hao Kai followed, "Zhou Shen is playing games now, and it is normal for three or four top lane heroes to be banned in a game!"

"And EDG banned Jayce and Lucian in the second round, not just because these two heroes have long arms and strong laning."

"Also because these two heroes play top lane, their ability to speed up in the early and mid-term is very strong! It will further speed up the rhythm and aggressiveness of LGD's lineup!"

"Then LGD banned Scout."

"I also banned Poppy. This hero has the W skill and is very capable of preventing team fights. LGD banned Poppy. Obviously this game is to fight the offense to the end!"

EDG picked first in the second round.

The selection countdown only lasted two seconds, and EDG locked the barrel on the fourth floor of the red square.

EDG's idea is very clear. Since LGD did not destroy the system they planned to play in this game by banning players, they will directly select players according to the system.

In EDG's system, the heroes chosen for each position are basically fixed, with only one or two choices.

"Wine barrel! This hand is a good choice!"

"Then it depends on LGD's next selection. The mid-to-top combination has not been announced yet!" Hao Kai continued.

LGD quickly chose Enchantress on the fourth floor of the blue square.

But the fifth player has yet to reveal a hero.

At this time, in the LGD player seat.

Dgc frowned.

In this round of LGD, after selecting the first three players, they must carry out their offense to the end.

Looking at EDG's lineup, EDG was determined to develop as a tortoise in this game.

As long as they can be stable and their disadvantage in the early and mid-term is not too big, then EDG will really win.

Therefore, LGD's selection in the second round must continue to improve the offensive capabilities of their lineup.

However, EDG had two bans in the second round - Jayce and Lucian,

The ban is too accurate.

Dgc people almost fainted.

LGD needs to maintain at least two lane advantages in selecting players in this game.

Dgc was relieved to get Ashe in the bottom lane.

On the road, Dgc is certainly more confident about Zhou Dian.

However, in this game, DGC hopes that Zhou Dian can have a great advantage online.

However, to be honest, it is difficult for a short-handed melee hero to gain much advantage against a wine barrel.

Originally, after Dgc saw that Yasuo, who Zhou Dian wanted to play, was banned, he planned to take Jayce or Lucian to the top lane.

Choose one of the two.

You have to use the long-handed hero to beat EDG to death on the road.

Pick up the rhythm and take off!

As a result, both heroes were gone.

"Damn EDG, they've studied our team so well, they're so damn civil war fantasy gods!" Dgc thought angrily.

Then, Dgc quickly went through Zhou Dian's hero pool in his mind.

What other long-hand laners will Xiao Zhou play?

Snake girl?

This hero can suppress Gragas in the laning phase, but it seems that he can't penetrate him!

And the hero Cassiopeia is very dependent on development, so she is not a hero that can speed up the game.

Instead, she will slow down the game because she is easy to catch.

Cassiopeia is not very good.

What else?

By the way, Xiao Zhou can also play Kennen!

He played it when playing against IG.

Dgc immediately thought of Kennen.

Of course, AP Kennen is useless in this game.

What he needs is AD Kennen, which is a substitute for Jayce and Lucian.

The effect is a little weaker than Jayce and Lucian, but it is barely enough.

"Xiao Zhou, can AD Kennen be played?" Dgc walked behind Zhou Dian and asked.

Zhou Dian certainly knew Dgc's thinking and why he wanted to play AD Kennen.

"Why play AD Kennen? I have a better one, which is better than Jayce and Lucian!" Zhou Dian said immediately.

Dgc was still thinking about whether there were any heroes that were better than Jayce and Lucian who had been banned in this game.

Zhou Dian has already turned to PYL and said: "Ping team, give me Tristana!"

"Ah? Tristana? Can this thing be used in the top lane?" PYL's mind has not yet turned around.

"Just choose it, Ping team!"

Dgc originally had the same question as PYL.

But he thought carefully and put aside the prejudice that Tristana can't be used in the top lane.

Isn't LGD's goal in the top lane in this game to gain an advantage in the laning phase and speed up the tempo?

Tristana, it's really good!

"This one, this one is good, just push the tower and it's done!" Dgc said repeatedly,

"Brother Xu, you have also figured it out, right!" Zhou Dian said with a smile, "In this game, within ten minutes, I will definitely push down EDG's top lane tower!"

When the countdown to the selected player reached the last second, LGD showed Tristana on the fifth floor of the blue side.

Then locked it down.

"Ah? Tristana?"

"Tristana in the top lane?"

The two commentators were stunned.

The audience was also in an uproar, not quite understanding what LGD meant.

"It's impossible that Tristana is an ADC, so let Ashe go to the top lane?" Wang Duoduo said.

"Impossible, Tristana should be the top lane!" Haokai shook his head, "After all, Tristana has displacement, so if she plays in the top lane, she is definitely more suitable than Ashe!"

Having said that, Haokai didn't understand LGD's intention of Tristana going to the top lane for a while.

Afterwards, EDG chose Braum on the fifth floor of the red side.

"EDG picked Braum in the last hand!"

"In that case, Karma should be moved to the middle lane!" Wang Duoduo said.

"Yes!" Haokai nodded, "As for the role of Karma in the middle lane, I believe everyone has experienced it in the BO5 between WE and RNG just now. You will find that WE's Karma in the middle lane is very, very useful in the middle and late stages!"

"If Karma plays in the middle lane, it will be the main focus of a mid-to-late team battle. If this game is dragged to the late stage, EDG's lineup will be very strong!"

After mentioning the word "drag to the late stage" several times in a row.

Haokai suddenly figured out LGD's thinking behind the single Tristana.

"However, it may not be so easy for EDG to drag the game to the late stage!" Haokai changed the subject.

"LGD's Tristana is actually a substitute for Jayce and Lucian in the top lane, and it is completely for the purpose of quickly pushing the tower!"

"Lucian can play in the top lane, and Tristana can play as well!"

After Haokai said this, Wang Duoduo also figured it out.

"In that case, LGD can use any ADC to go to the top lane in this game!"

After a pause, Wang Duoduo continued: "Considering the jungler gank factor, let's add a restriction. LGD can use any shooter hero with displacement to go to the top lane in this game!"

"In theory, it is like this!" Haokai nodded, "But Zhou Shen is a top laner after all, and we can't ask him to play many ADCs."

"After Lucian was banned in this game, it was very strong to be able to take out Tristana as a substitute."

"Except for Zhou Shen, I can't think of any other player who dares to take Tristana!"

Hearing this, Wang Duoduo smiled and said: "It's hard to say. Zhou Shen is a player who can't be judged by common sense. Maybe he can still take out a lot of ADCs!"

Wang Duoduo's words were of course just a joke.

As for the content, he himself didn't believe it.

But what he didn't know was that he guessed the truth of the matter with a joke.

Zhou Dian really knows how to play all ADCs.

The selection is completed.

The heroes selected by both sides are quickly exchanged within the team.

On the LGD side, Tristana was indeed moved to the first floor, where the ID LGDZhou is located.

The commentator's analysis is correct, it's just Tristana on the top.

On the big screen at the scene, the BP interface entered the one-minute countdown before the game loads.

This minute is for the players to adjust their rune talents.

In the middle of the BP interface, the camera keeps switching between the real-time images of the players on the field.

When it cuts to Mouse, it can be clearly seen.

Mouse's face is not very good.

Damn, I thought Jayce and Lucian were banned.

Not to say it's foolproof, but it's basically safe.

I didn't expect this idiot to actually come up with a Tristana on the top.

Fuck, this guy is a human being!

He just has to torture people in the lane, right!

At this time, EDG head coach Nofe was behind Mouse, patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Trissie, you are just bluffing, he can't play, don't worry!"

Nofe spoke Chinese awkwardly in the past few games, but Mouse still understood.

After being told by the coach, Mouse also felt that it made sense.

You are a serious top laner, and you can play Lucian in ADC, which is already very awesome.

I don't believe that your Tristana proficiency can be the same as your Lucian.

But Mouse obviously didn't understand one thing.

Some matchups, when the heroes are selected, it is destined that one side will have problems.

This has nothing to do with proficiency, but only with hero selection.

Trissie playing Gragas in the top lane is obviously such a matchup.

After Nofe fooled Mouse, the countdown of the last minute on the BP interface also came to an end.

The referee on the field began to urge the coach to leave the stage.

Nofe closed the notebook in his hand and walked towards the center of the stage.

After the coaches of the two teams shook hands, they each turned around and walked into the player tunnel.

The first game of the semi-final BO5 between LGD and EDG is about to start.
