I just messed around, how could I become the number one in the world?

Chapter 374: EDG’s changes, who is the top laner?

First on both servers!!
When Gu Chen’s record came out, all the major LPL teams were envious.

They all hope that their team can have a mid laner like Gu Chen.

But unfortunately...

Even though there are many new players emerging.

But he is still no match for Gu Chen.

After all, many new players have not only been beaten by Gu Chen in the competition, but also been beaten badly in the ranking.

It is precisely because of this that Gu Chen’s popularity remains high.

On the Internet and even in real-life games, praise for Gu Chen is everywhere.

[I think that with Maoshen’s hero pool in the middle, when he plays in a game, no team can target him, right? ]

[Of course! Assassin heroes and mage cores, and even some crocodiles and sword sisters, with this hero pool, how to target them? To be honest, I think EDG will still win the championship this year! ! ]

[Cat God is invincible! I can only say this, in the middle lane, no one can beat him! ! ]

[I am really looking forward to the S8 World Championship. I really have a feeling that Maoshen will lead EDG to win the championship for the third time in a row! ! EDG will definitely become a dynasty team by then! ]

Gu Chen’s gimmick is quite impressive.

No. 1 in the country!

No.1 in Korean server!

I have been ranked first in both servers for a long time, although many people have achieved this.

but! !
Who can achieve a 90% winning rate?
Such an invincible record is difficult to achieve even for two masters who are in a duo.

Not to mention the time Gu Chen spent.

Just half a month!

The Chinese server has already dominated the charts, and the Korean server is also ahead of the competition!
Even the players on the Korean server were shocked to the point of fear.

In their opinion, with Gu Chen as a strong figure, there will probably be no one in their LCK who can surpass him in the mid lane from now on.

Even Faker, the strongest mid laner in LCK, was defeated miserably by Gu Chen.

Many people are even predicting a pessimistic outcome, believing that EDG will still be the winner of this world championship.

After all, EDG doesn’t just have Gu Chen, the big man, they also have the world’s number one jungler, Zweichang, and the world’s number one ADUzi! !
These two have both won two world championships. With these three players, how can EDG not take off? ?
However, there are also many people who have hope for this season's games.

Because of the current version change, the version trend is no longer in the mid and jungle, nor is it the bottom lane of the Censer version.

Now I prefer to be on the top lane!!!
But the LPL side doesn’t pay much attention to the top unit!
Otherwise, in previous games, offensive heroes like Jayce would not be banned all the time, because the LPL side would dig for a meat tank, and it would be enough to serve as the front row of the team.

But after this version of the S8 Summer Season, the top lane environment has changed drastically.

Sword Princess, Qing Gangying, Riven...

These warrior offensive heroes can now return to the game.

For a while, many people thought that if LCK wanted to defeat LPL, they should do something in the top lane! !

……

EDG base at this time.

Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After working hard for half a month, I finally got both accounts to the first place.

At the same time, he also made up for the live broadcast time.

Meiko, who was live streaming nearby, couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen, you are really a model of live streaming! You live stream for more than ten hours at a time, I can't stand it..."

Gu Chen laughed.

To be honest, Gu Chen just felt a little tired.

But mentally, he became more and more excited as the fight went on.

After all, playing ranked games is different from playing in competitions. You can play any hero you want.

These days, he has played all the assassin heroes in the middle lane to pieces.

Also in the game, it was fun to kill as an assassin.

“It’s over!!”

Gu Chen chuckled and said, "Tian Ye! Come on and make up the time. I have already made up for it!!"

Meiko lamented: "It's so difficult..."

At this time, the factory manager walked behind Gu Chen, pinched his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, judging from your current state, it feels like our EDG is bound to win this summer season!"

"No! It's not just the summer season, but also the world championship this time. If we can win the world championship this time, then we will win three consecutive championships. This is simply unprecedented. We EDG will become a dynasty team!!"

“I’m a little excited just thinking about it!!”

As the factory manager spoke, his tone became more passionate.

After all, that was a three-peat!!
Just thinking about it is exciting!
“It’s not easy!!”

Gu Chen sighed and said, "The summer season version is biased towards the top lane, and it will be difficult for our mid and jungle to get up the rhythm by then."

"Also, Stain has gone to recover from his injury, so he won't be able to participate in the training matches during this period. When he returns, he may not be able to maintain his strength."

"So, what this summer season will be like is still unknown!!"

This is not because Gu Chen lacks confidence.

On the contrary, Gu Chen said this because he was well aware of the situation in this version.

Back then, in the S8 version.

TheShy’s Sword Demon is like a god descending from earth and he hit four with one blow.

The scene was quite bloody.

And in the summer season, the IG team will be able to show their prowess, and the top laner TheShy will also begin to emerge.

With the Conqueror talent, the warrior heroes in the top lane will also rise.

The situation in the top lane is no longer that where you only need to be a tank or a big tree.

The Conqueror that just appeared at this time can deal real damage.

Even if you are a meat tank, you can't hold up in the laning phase.

"I rely on!!"

The factory manager exclaimed: "Is this summer season really so outrageous? It's a top lane version..."

Gu Chen's words reminded the factory manager of the rankings of the past few days.

It is indeed found that in the current King's League, there are many top lane carries.

Meiko also sighed at this time: "What kind of character is our EDG? The top laner only needs to be able to play Treant. In S6 and S7, for the top laner, it was enough to play tanks."

Everyone knows EDG's top laner recruitment criteria.

Just play with the meat!

Many netizens even joked that EDG only needs to know three: Maokai, Treant, and Twisted Treant!!
One big tree is enough for EDG's top laner to pass on his skills for three generations!

That is to say, the arrival of Holy Spear brought some changes to EDG's top laner.

But at that time, it was not the top lane version.

In this version, although EDG's top laner ray is okay, he is powerless when facing those powerful top laners.

"That being said, I don't think a single top laner can dominate the game, right? Just like you, Xiaochen, in the mid lane, sometimes even if you develop very well, it's still difficult for you to lead the entire team!"

After thinking for a moment, the factory manager began to speak.

Gu Chen smiled and didn't say much. The top lane can actually be seen in the usual rankings. Once the top lane develops well, it can contain the rhythm of the entire team.

After all, the route is long, so you will gain more experience and level up the fastest and highest.

Sometimes, when a top laner fights in a team fight, he can suppress the AD at level 3 or 4, and the support at level 5 or 6.

With such a huge gap in levels, the warriors who are still playing can beat three junglers and three supports by themselves! !
Meiko said: "Wait for the training match and see, another version will be updated soon!!"

Several people nodded.

Everything is still unknown now.

After the subsequent training matches and playing against major teams, you will know the difference.

……

Gu Chen's top search ranking on both servers lasted for almost a week, but as Gu Chen stopped live streaming, it gradually faded away.

Gu Chen completed the live broadcast time and after a few days of rest, the training match began.

The major teams have also started their daily training in preparation for the upcoming summer season.

The same is true for the EDG team.

It’s just that because Uzi needed treatment, he replaced him with iboy to play in the training match.

Their current lineup is top laner ray, jungler Zweizhang, mid laner cat, ADC iboy, and support Meiko.

Although the training match lineup was missing the core player Uzi, the overall team was still very strong.

Among the entire LPL teams, it is at least in the top five.

Therefore, in the first few days of the game, EDG's training games were still very good.

but! !
In the later days, I don’t know if it was because of the version update or because of the condition of the EDG players.

Basically, I have never won. It can be said that I only win one game in ten training games.

Just like in the game against WE.

It was obvious that in the early stage, Gu Chen had many solo kills in the middle lane and was leading the way.

However, in the team, although iboy played very steadily in the bottom lane and did not become a breakthrough point, it was still difficult for him to gain an advantage.

As for the jungler, Zzai Zhang seemed a little confused. Sometimes he only paid attention to Gu Chen's mid lane during the fight, and sometimes he just focused on clearing the jungle and couldn't catch anyone.

But even so, it’s nothing to Gu Chen.

After all, being fat in the middle lane can get the rhythm going.

But the more difficult one to deal with is the top laner Ray. He is often killed by WE's 957 in the laning phase.

After the version change, top laners like 957 seem to have been blessed, and their playing style has become more brutal.

Coupled with Ray's hero pool problem, it is difficult for him to withstand 957's laning.

This also leads to extremely good development in the top lane.

They are far ahead in level and their equipment is also very good. If a team fight breaks out, just one person entering the field is enough to disrupt EDG's formation.

957 plays warrior heroes like Crocodile and Riven. When fighting in a team, his set of skills not only deals high damage but is also very difficult to kill.

After all, the Conqueror talent, when fully stacked, can not only increase attack power, but also convert true damage and have a healing effect.

Combined with the hero's skills, it's like a crocodile. With one Q, the low health can be restored to half health.

And this Q of his dealt a huge amount of damage.

It can be said that a well-developed top laner can really have a huge impact on the outcome of a team battle.

After all, in a team battle, the player playing the meat tank can only act as a meat shield but cannot deal any damage.

After this comparison, the difference is obvious! !

But to be honest, this is just the version when the top laner just started to rise. After S9, when the Blue Dragon Sword was equipped, heroes like Crocodile and Weapon were simply invincible.

……

Losing to WE is only secondary.

In the next few training matches, the entire EDG team seemed to be in a very low state.

Basically, no one can beat me.

Especially in the top lane, Ray is always being beaten up. Even if he plays tanks to resist the pressure, he still can't withstand the tower dives of those warriors! !

As for the factory manager and the two players in the bottom lane, they were also mediocre.

In the early stage, the factory manager couldn't find the rhythm.

In the mid-game team fight, iboy wanted to operate, but the opponent's top, mid and jungle players were able to kill him instantly.

It is difficult for him to have room to play in the AD position.

In the entire team, only Gu Chen was in good condition and strength.

But this game is not an individual game. The training matches are all against professional teams from major LPLs, and are all based on professional competitions.

It is difficult for Gu Chen to lead the entire EDG alone.

They kept losing consecutive training matches, and even some inferior teams beat EDG.

This time, as the head coach, Abramovich was so angry that he came to the training base in person.

"What's going on? If you guys were to play in the summer season in this state, wouldn't you be criticized to death by your own fans?"

"I reviewed several games. In the entire team, Xiaochen was the only one playing. It seemed as if the others had no presence."

"Especially the top laner, why is he always outnumbered? Can't he handle it even if he chooses a tank?"

Abu was furious and glanced at everyone with sharp eyes.

Upon hearing this, the two veteran team members, the factory manager and Meiko, sighed slightly and did not dare to look at Abu.

The other two newcomers, ray and iboy, simply lowered their heads.

It's like a child who has made a mistake and is being scolded by his parents.

There was nothing Abu could do about his anger because they performed so poorly in the recent training matches.

It would be fine if those mainstream teams beat them, but it is really shameful that those bottom teams can beat them, EDG.

You know, EDG has won two consecutive championships, and four of their players have won gold medals.

But now that the summer season is about to begin, EDG's training matches are so sluggish.

When it comes to the real competition, even if Uzi comes back, it will still be difficult to perform well in the summer season! !

Having won the gold medal this time, LPL audiences have high hopes for EDG, and think that EDG can still win the championship in S8.

only……

If we don’t play well in this summer season, we may not even be able to go to the World Championship, let alone win the championship!!
After some educational words, Abu called Gu Chen and the factory manager to his office and a group of coaching staff to start a discussion. Gu Chen and the factory manager were basically the core of the team. Now that the team had this kind of problem, it was natural to discuss the plan with the two of them.

"Ugh……"

Abu sighed and said, "Now that you have played this version for a few days, you have a thorough understanding of it, right?"

"It's no longer the previous mage core version, nor is it the bottom lane version with the censer, but a warrior offensive top lane version!!"

"Looking at the training matches over the past few days, we basically lost in the top lane. If we want to win three consecutive championships, we have to solve the problem in the top lane."

Listening to Abu's words, the factory director and Gu Chen both nodded.

Especially the factory director.

He used to think that as long as he could get his jungling rhythm up and cooperate with Gu Chen's position, he would just have to play slowly.

But after these days of training matches, he finally understood that if the top laner didn't care, the opponent's top laner would be able to fight five people alone in a teamfight...
