LOL: All-around champion, peak at debut

"You can choose to not play the mid laner first and pick heroes for other positions first." MISS added.

ANR's BP thinking was just as MISS expected. They put the mid laner aside and waited for a second chance. They first played [Zyra] and [Olaf].

Facing the extremely strong support Zyra in this version, EDG now needs to find a hero to deal with it.

They gave up Karma, who was evenly matched with Zyra, and chose a hard support.

[Titan].

Then, they chose [Kalista].

The challenging choice made all the audience look at it with new eyes.

[EDG is really prepared]

[What's the saying about this Titan playing against Zyra]

[Can you still play a hard support in this version]

[EDG will definitely focus on the bottom lane in this game]

ANR side.

"Zhaozhang is still true to his words. He chose a hard support in this version." Liu Qingsong said.

"Although Lee Sin's ability to cooperate with hard supports in this version is very strong, it doesn't matter!" Lu Yun said.

Speaking of which, the bottom lane laning theory that Lu Yun firmly believes in will not be outdated even in S13.

The blue side's bottom lane must be strong in the early stage to prevent the opponent from invading at level 1 and forcing their jungler to the upper half.

On the contrary, the red side's bottom lane has no such worries.

The blue side's bottom lane invades the red side's bottom half, and the benefits are very low, because after invading the opponent's blue buff area, they can only take one blue buff, and if they want to cross the tower in the bottom lane in the early stage, the blue buff is not enough. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Obviously, EDG has discovered this game rule that Lu Yun has never revealed to outsiders through the competition research throughout the year.

So they dare to choose a combination like Kalista + Titan on the red side.

In the early stage, as long as you wait until level 6, with Lee Sin, Zyra is very dangerous.

The most important thing is that the AD that cooperates with Zyra is nothing more than Jhin and EZ.

Choose Jhin. If you don't push down the first blood tower on the opposite side before level 6, Lee Sin will die.

Choose EZ. The bottom lane is not strong enough.

Although EZ has been greatly strengthened, and the passive 50% attack speed has increased to 70% with the level, there are no changes in other aspects. This makes EZ relatively weak in the early laning phase without Karma's movement speed.

Moreover, all the audience who have played League of Legends know that EZ is restrained by Kalista in the laning phase. Facing Kalista, EZ dare not easily E face.

This is completely different from EZ against Jhin and Caitlyn.

Of course, all this is based on the situation where Zyra is the auxiliary.

What if Zyra is the mid laner?

Lu Yun smiled slightly and helped the bottom lane lock Minotaur and Jhin.

[Fuck, Zyra in the middle]

[Why didn't I think of that?]

[Brother Lu is still good at playing, he's doing a big job right away]

[The question now is whether Zyra in the middle can beat Cassiopeia]

[Not to mention, Zyra's arms are longer than Cassiopeia's]

The last comment points out the most crucial point.

Cassiopeia is the most typical "tank mage". She has extremely strong melee output ability, but her biggest disadvantage is her short arms.

Although Cassiopeia's passive has been greatly enhanced, she can't beat a mage with long arms in the early and mid-game.

This has been fully proven in the previous MSI.

Later, after Syndra and Viktor were strengthened, Cassiopeia couldn't beat these two heroes at all.

Let's take the simplest example.

If the 1V1 battlefield between Cassiopeia and Viktor was limited to the dragon pit, Viktor would not be able to beat Cassiopeia even if he was ahead in level and equipment. As long as all of Cassiopeia's skills hit, the burst damage would be really exaggerated.

But once the battlefield expands, Cassiopeia will be kited by Viktor infinitely.

Although Zyra's damage is not as explosive as Syndra and Viktor, her advantage of long arms is no worse than Viktor's.

"I originally wanted to use this hero in the World Championship, but now it seems that it can be used to shock those LCK tactical analysts." Lu Yun said this after taking down Zyra.

Since the last meeting, his thinking has completely changed.

"Anyway, we still have so many heroes in reserve, let the bullets fly for a while, and give them time to study slowly." Liu Qingsong said with a smile.

He was in a good mood after taking down Minotaur.

To be honest, if he really continued to use Zyra as a support, he really had no idea in his heart.

EDG clearly came for his Zyra, and they must have discussed many sets of tactics for this.

Lee Sin came at level 3, level 5, and level 6. Can his Zyra escape the first day of the month, but not the fifteenth day?

This version of Lee SinMonk, since the Sky Sound Wave was strengthened, with Thunder, the damage in the early stage is terrifyingly high. With the hard control of Titan in the early stage, can a fragile chicken support like Zyra, who only has 500 health and only 30 double resistance, withstand it?

But now, he has chosen Minotaur, and he has a bottom line in his heart.

Minotaur is really not afraid of Titan, especially after level 6.

Even if he is really killed by Titan + Lee Sin in the early stage, he will not be snowballed immediately.

"It's still good to have this feeling, which reminds me of last year." Crystal said excitedly.

"Then let this feeling continue to the World Championship." Lu Yun encouraged from the bottom of his heart.

Now looking back on the decision-making in the past six months, it is indeed a bit too depressing.

They are absolute geniuses in this field.

On the commentary seat.

"Zyra was shaken to the middle by ANR, and Minotaur was asked to deal with Titan and Lee Sin. ANR really made a huge change. They are finally no longer conservative!" Miller said excitedly.

Since he didn't know the inside story of ANR, he was always worried about ANR.

Because he knew how ANR won the world championship last year and how they created miracles one after another.

It was to surprise.

In the past six months, ANR's games were too conservative, and there was no fearless momentum at all.

Even many viewers outside said that ANR had the burden of the championship and dared not make new attempts, relying on the old foundation of winning the championship.

MISS nodded heavily: "Yes, this is the ANR team we used to be very familiar with! It reminds me of their most glorious time last year."

Jin Meiwo: "ANR should indeed make such a change. Now it's EDG's turn to choose heroes in the last round. It depends on how they deal with ANR's lineup."

In a few words of the commentator, EDG has locked on [Gnar].

There is really no other hero to choose.

EDG's understanding of this version is the same as ANR. The mid-jungle and support can change, but the top lane and AD cannot change.

Being too unexpected will only backfire.

The lineups of both teams are confirmed.

ANR [Blue Side]

Top [Ekko], Jungle [Olaf], Mid [Zyra], AD [Jhin], Support [Anoda]

EDG [Red Side]

Top [Gnar], Jungle [Blind Monk], Mid [Cassiopeia], AD [Kalista], Support [Titan].
