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

“I am also looking forward to this game!!”

Changmao chuckled and said, "In the previous quarterfinals, I also heard that Maoshen played a warrior top laner, and he played very well."

"I remember that since Maoshen switched to the top lane in S8, he usually plays a tank, right? Or he uses a mage to play in the top lane!"

"Honestly, I don't understand how Maoshen plays top lane. He seems to be able to play everything!!"

This is not just his question, but also the question of many viewers.

Gu Chen's top laner always comes up with something different.

For example, the mage in last season's world championship!!

And it is still very powerful.

It seems like now they have a warrior top laner!!
Guan Zeyuan said: "I wonder what the top laner Maoshen is going to take today?"

"SKT's top laner Khan is also very powerful and plays the warrior very smoothly, especially his Jayce. If Jayce was released in today's game, I wonder which side would win???"

Changmao said: "I think he will be chosen. The top laners in LCK are all strong, especially Khan. He is very strong, which can be seen in the previous games!"

Wang Duoduo said: "Today's game will also be a battle for the strongest top laner. Will LCK's Khan win or LPL's Maoshen be better? Let's wait and see!!"

As he finished speaking, members of the two teams began to appear on the big screen.

The more famous the SKT team is, the louder the cheers will be from the stadium when they appear on the field.

However, after EDG's turn, SKT's voice was obviously suppressed.

As a team that has won three consecutive championships, it has already become famous throughout the league.

And judging by the trend this year, there is still hope of winning the championship.

Fans of LPL and fans from other regions who support EDG were all cheering and shouting.

Even if you are not a fan of EDG, you are actually looking forward to whether EDG can defeat SKT and enter the finals to continue their legend!
……

Ten players and two coaches are already in their positions.

BP officially begins! !

"coming!"

"I don't know, in this first round of banpick, is SKT going to target the top lane?"

"I feel like they will, right? Maoshen's Fiora is too scary. At most, they can send out a Jayce. But this time, SKT is on the red side, so they don't have the advantage of taking the initiative!"

At the commentary desk, three people have already started speculating about the BP of both sides.

From the BP, it was a competition between the two teams!!

A game!
A battle without gunpowder!!

quickly!

Both sides made their choices in the first round of banpick.

The RNG on the blue side banned Azar, Lee Sin, and Rakan!

SKT on the red side banned Fiora, Jayce, and Vladimir! !

It can be seen from the ban position alone that SKT deliberately pays attention to the top position, and these three heroes are basically what Gu Chen plays well.

This is also reasonable.

If you can't beat him, just ban him. Even though Khan is capable, it is difficult for him to gain an advantage in laning against Gu Chen's Fiora. When it comes to leading the line later on, it is even more difficult to cope with.

Then came the choices of both sides for their first three moves.

In the first game, EDG was not very careful in considering the lineup.

So Scout directly took out Syndra to fight.

Test the waters!!

This hero is a line bully in laning phase. Even if the opponent is Faker, Scout can still fight.

Furthermore, sccout has also played against Faker. In previous international competitions such as MSI, he was able to fight Faker on equal terms in laning.

His weakness lies in his handling of team battles.

Faker does have unique insights when dealing with team battles and he always manages to turn danger into safety.

Then it was SKT's choice.

As soon as EDG made their first choice, SKT quickly made their choice.

Two heroes are selected first.

Ryze! !
Wine barrel!!
Nakano brought it out directly.

"Wow!! Ryze!"

Changmao couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "It's locked in directly. Did Faker use his ultimate in the first game? His signature Jayce is out!!"

Both the LPL and LCK audiences in the audience were excited.

Everyone was surprised by SKT's second choice.

Especially Ryze!!

This is the hero that made Faker famous! !
That's the one with the champion skin!!

SKT fans were very excited: "Yes, yes, that's it. If you have a big move, you should use it. If you wait until the end to be killed and then hide your trump card, isn't that just giving it away for free?"

"Faker's Ryze, SKT's mid lane is stable this time!"

"Beat Scout!! As long as Faker can keep his head steady, he will definitely be the carry!"

Team seat.

On the EDG side, Gu Chen and others were also stunned.

He also didn't expect that Faker would use Ryze in the first game, which was simply a king bomb.

During the Spring Season, Ryze was slightly weakened, but the current version for the World Championship has been strengthened a lot.

As for why not many people play it, it’s because fighting heroes still requires some operations.

Without any operation, this hero will have no output after being selected, and can only clear the minion line.

However, this hero can also be maximized in the hands of Faker.

SKT came out immediately, proving that they were determined to win this game.

"SKT wants the mid and jungle to set the pace!"

Maokai pondered, "Director, do you have any heroes coming out?"

First of all, he didn't fix the lineup too much.

This will also allow the players to bring out their favorites.

Show your confidence!!

The factory director also thought about it for a while.

SKT's Ryze and Gragas are going to catch people, so he has to use a hero to fight back, otherwise his own bottom lane will be in great trouble.

"Taliyah!"

After thinking for a long time, the factory director finally said it.

The coach did not come to give their players a fixed lineup, and he also wanted to use the Rock Bird that he had practiced for a long time.

The hero Taliyah is quite powerful in counter-restraint and can effectively block the opponent's advancing skills.

Even if SKT's support chooses the one that can open later, he will be able to block it!
And it is also a good choice to cooperate with Syndra.

It's just that the double AP lineup in the mid and jungle makes Maokai have to think...

At this time, several people were still discussing in the commentary booth.

"Although EDG's mid laner picked Syndra, there won't be much problem in laning, but in terms of rhythm, Scout may be dragged down!"

Guan Zeyuan immediately found out the problem.

No matter which version it is, the mid-jungle rhythm is still the mainstream.

This is still the case even though runes have been overhauled.

Wang Duoduo also pondered and said: "Indeed, if Ryze is selected, his ability to push the lane is first-class, and he can also compete with Syndra for the lane control!"

"After reaching level 6, Ryze's driving will directly find the rhythm in the bottom lane!" "Four encircling two, SKT is also very skilled!"

The commentators today are not as entertaining as the Haier Brothers.

They are all very professional.

Therefore, we will look at problems more carefully.

Changmao said: "Then here, EDG should directly send out the jungler, right? I just don't know what the factory manager will use in the first game to deal with it!"

While a few people were talking, the BP on the field had already started to take action.

EDG began to make choices in their next two moves.

First up is Taliyah, which is revealed right away!!

This time, the three commentators were a little surprised, but then they were very pleasantly surprised. They also thought of Taliyah's advantages, so it was very reasonable to use Taliyah as a jungler.

Guan Zeyuan: "But, in this case, the mid and jungle will have two APs!"

Longhair: "Do you want to lock it?"

The next second! !

EDG has confirmed Taliyah!!
Maokai didn't say much, he also thought that this Taliyah jungler was good.

Then EDG locked on ADC Kaisa again! !
This time, EDG's double C was directly selected.

Wang Duoduo said: "There is no big problem with the lineup. Next, it depends on the choices of both sides in the second round of banpick!"

……

The second round that followed was very quick.

It is simply targeting the heroes that have not yet been released by both sides.

EDG was very decisive, banning AD three times in a row, leaving no room for SKT to perform.

However, SKT was in a difficult situation. Even if they tried to target the top lane, it was of no avail.

Comparing Gu Chen's hero pool, no one really knows how many he knows. We can only ban the heroes he has used and those that are more difficult to play against.

The ban is over, and the next step is to select players.

SKT quickly picked the first one.

Next, it's EDG's final two moves! !
After choosing the support, it’s time to play the top position!!
At this moment, whether it was the audience in the stands or the audience watching the live broadcast, they were all staring at the screen intently.

The highlight is coming!!

Gu Chen's top laner is about to take action!!

Should he continue to use tanks and mages, or should he use warriors to fight Khan head-on?

Most people expect the latter.

They want to see exciting matches in the top lane.

Even the people on the commentary desk were no exception.

Guan Zeyuan immediately said, "Here it comes. Maoshen's top laner is finally going to be released. As the blue side, it doesn't matter whether we choose first or later. I just don't know which hero Maoshen will choose?"

Changmao said: "Fiora is gone, but Noxus is still out there. Do you want to take it? When we played against G2 before, Maoshen's Noxus got a pentakill! Do you want to take it?"

Wang Duoduo said: "I think Maoshen will not play it. If Noxus comes out first, Khan will have a hero to counter him. Noxus is only suitable for the second player!"

Hearing this, the two of them nodded.

It is true!!

Noxus cannot be selected first, but if this is the case, what top laner will Gu Chen choose? ?
……

At this time, in the EDG team——

Everyone's eyes were turned to Gu Chen.

"Xiao Chen! What do you say? Both Shen and Irelia are outside, you can choose either one!"

Maokai naturally knew about Gu Chen's hero pool.

All the warriors in the top lane can do it.

So he didn't need to worry about what Gu Chen could choose, there were simply too many!!

And every hero is played really well!
Therefore, he had no requirements for Gu Chen from a long time ago and let Gu Chen make the choices. Many times, Gu Chen's say in the selection of other positions was even more important than that of the coach.

"Get it for me..."

Gu Chen looked at the heroes on the top lane, and finally said, "Riven!"

He never used this hero in the entire World Championship.

Not to mention him, even other professional top laners have never used it. The main reason is that they dare not use it. After all, once the advantage is gone, it will be very difficult for this hero to perform in team battles.

Once this hero comes out, it will definitely cause a sensation!!
but! !
Meiko on the fifth floor didn't even ask the coach and just signed up immediately.

Since Gu Chen has said that he wants to play Riven, there is nothing more to say, just lock it.

Moreover, they have also witnessed how powerful Gu Chen and Riven are.

He has full confidence in him. No matter what kind of hero the opposing Khan takes out, Gu Chen's Riven can deal with it.

Crash——

With Riven locked on.

A figure holding a broken green blade appeared on the big screen.

On the battle seat, Khan from SKT saw this and his pupils shrank slightly. He was obviously surprised that Gu Chen dared to choose Riven as the top laner.

at the same time!

The entire competition venue was boiling with excitement!!
"It's actually Riven on top?"

At this moment, both Ziti and letme in the live broadcast room were so excited that they started shouting.

It was also the first time they saw Gu Chen take out Riven.

Zzitai said: "This is really outrageous!! Maoshen's hero pool is really deep! I'm afraid all four sisters in the top lane can play it??"

letme said: "Of course!! His Fiora and Shen are so invincible, and there is also Irelia, so it is natural that Riven is strong, right??"

Judging from Gu Chen's understanding of top lane, it can be seen that he must be someone who knows more than just a few heroes.

At the same time, they were also frightened.

Gu Chen’s hero pool is truly terrifying!

Not to mention five ban slots, even if there were ten ban slots, it would probably be impossible to ban all of Gu Chen's hero pool.

[Cat God's Riven! Wow! There's really something interesting to watch, the duel with Khan's top laner! ! ]

[I think Khan has a chance to play Irelia and Shen, as he has these heroes in his hero pool. The two will definitely be a warrior duel, but I still think that Maoshen is stronger in the top lane!! ]

【I feel the same way! 】

[Although I don’t know how skilled Maoshen is at playing Riven, but judging from the level he played against G2 before, this Riven is definitely not bad! ]

[I feel Khan is still quite difficult to beat! He is still quite strong!! ]

[Khan is really strong. Didn’t you guys watch the previous games? All the top laners he faced were suppressed by him!!]

[Indeed! ! But Cat God is not bad either, we just have to wait and see! ! ]

The confrontation between the two strongest opponents is what the audience likes to see the most.

Especially the top lane.

It shows personal strength.

Khan’s fame as a top laner was established as early as S6S7.

Gu Chen was the top laner because of the mage he used before.

Of course! !

This season, Gu Chen's top lane performance conquered everyone!

The prediction between them is a peak top unit showdown!! (End of this chapter)
