Chapter 19 You call this playing professionally?
Not only was Guan Zeyuan shocked, but Rita, standing beside him, was also filled with disbelief:
"Is this...is this really a tactic? Teemo is too weak in the current version, both in terms of survivability and team fight ability! Even when used to counter certain auto-attack-based top laners, his margin for error is ridiculously low! EDG's choice is incredibly risky!"
The live stream chat exploded with an unprecedented volume of comments, causing the servers to briefly lag.
"??????"
"Holy crap! Unfortunately, I'm uncultured; one 'holy crap' is all I need!"
"Pick Teemo in a do-or-die game? Has Abu lost his mind?!"
"This Mo is definitely just here for the sake of creating a spectacle! You're just being disgusting because you can't win, right?"
"The ultimate sacrifice strategy: Captain Teemo is dying!"
"If EDG wins this round, I'll just eat it all!!"
"..."
Meanwhile, on the RNG training ground...
Coach Firefox, who was contemplating lineup choices, momentarily lost in thought when he saw Teemo's icon.
"They picked Teemo?!" Firefox's eyes twitched wildly. He had previously told everyone to treat EDG's top laner like air and completely ignore Mo.
The results of it?
The opposing team immediately pulled out the most annoying top lane champion in all of League of Legends!
Letme gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Feng, I suspect this kid is provoking me! He's definitely provoking me!"
Mala Xiangguo swallowed hard: "Brother Feng, I feel like they're messing around..."
Firefox took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
His mind raced, trying to analyze the underlying logic behind EDG's "Teemo" pick.
Two seconds later, Firefox suddenly opened his eyes and said, "EDG is very cunning; this is an open conspiracy!"
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?" The RNG team all looked at him.
"This is the ultimate psychological warfare!" Firefox explained. "They obviously know we've figured out the 'starvation' strategy, and they know you'll ignore the top lane this game. So, he deliberately picked Teemo, a champion with a built-in taunt effect! He's gambling, gambling on your youthful impetuosity! As soon as you show any killing intent, the jungler's rhythm might be led by the nose by Clearlove again!"
Letme frowned: "Then what do we do?"
"Let's pick Jayce!" Firefox declared decisively. "Jayce can dominate Teemo in lane, and he has high burst damage. Mlxg, you pick Elise! Since he dares to pick a squishy champion like Teemo with no escape abilities, let's play along! He's inhuman, so try to crush him! Crush him! Make him a liability!"
"receive!"
"OK!"
Soon, the business plan negotiations between the two sides were finalized amidst much anticipation.
RNG (Blue Side):
Top Lane: Jayce, the Future Guardian
Jungle: Elise, the Spider Queen
Mid Lane: Syndra, the Dark Sovereign
ADC: Ashe, the Frost Archer
Support: Karma, the Enlightened One
Red team EDG:
Top Lane: Swift Scout - Teemo
Jungle: Rek'Sai, the Void Burrower
Mid Lane: LeBlanc, the Deceiver
ADC: Varus, the Arrow of Retribution
Support: Tahm Kench, the River King
The lineups for both sides are finalized!
The game is loading!
……
Meanwhile, at the WE team's training base in Shanghai.
In front of the huge projection screen in the training room, WE's head coach Hongmi and his players were still focused on this crucial match.
"Coach, who do you think has a better chance of winning this game?" Jungler Condi asked, taking a sip of water.
Redmi crossed his arms, his brow furrowed as he stared at the team compositions: "If you only look at the team compositions, RNG's lineup is very solid. The Jayce and Elise combination has extremely strong tower-diving ability. The Ashe and Karma bot lane is also one of the top lane bully combinations right now. On the other hand, EDG picked Teemo for the top lane, which is equivalent to giving up their frontline and initiation capabilities, which is extremely unreasonable in the current version."
"So RNG is almost guaranteed to win this game?" asked mid laner Xiye.
"Theoretically, that's how it is." Redmi looked at the Teemo with the ID Mo on the screen with a complicated expression. "But the premise is... that this match follows 'common sense.' Judging from previous matches, whenever EDG substitutes this rookie, the team's performance becomes very strange."
957 pushed up his glasses and interjected, "I think Mo's Teemo is definitely not that simple. His Garen and Malphite in the first two games, although the operation looked rough, that extreme 'survival instinct' and the choice of minion waves didn't feel like he was really bad. He picked Teemo, perhaps to sacrifice himself and thus tie down more of RNG's energy."
Mystic, playing in the bot lane, also spoke in heavily accented Chinese: "Uzi picked Ashe this game, so RNG definitely has lane priority. As long as RNG focuses on the mid and bot lanes, EDG's Teemo will be useless in the late game."
"Let's see," Redmi said in a deep voice, "and see if this is truly a pinnacle of tactical maneuvering, or just a farce."
Welcome to League of Legends!
Accompanied by the system's female voice, the fifth round of the life-or-death battle officially began!
At the start of the match, the director generously gave most of the camera shots to Lin Mo in the top lane.
Teemo, wearing a green hat, hopped and skipped towards the top lane with his short legs.
Wait until the director's perspective shifts to the equipment panel.
Guan Zeyuan's lips twitched involuntarily: "Shoes and four health potions for the start! Is Mo planning to stick to running away again this time?"
Rita: "The boots provide movement speed, and combined with Teemo's W skill, it does... allow you to run quite fast."
In the WE base, 957 saw this build and silently made a note in his notebook: Mo's new idea for extreme pressure resistance build - abandoning all attributes and only seeking movement speed and recovery.
957 subconsciously focused on Mo, starting to analyze his every move and the deeper meaning behind it.
The minions on the top lane meet.
Letme's Jayce switched to cannon form early on, blocking the minion wave and remaining arrogant.
Feng Ge said he'd make him smash this Teemo to pieces!
He was even prepared to unleash a barrage of attacks if Teemo came up to last-hit a minion.
However, ten seconds passed, then twenty seconds passed.
The melee minions are all low on health, but Teemo is still nowhere to be seen.
"Where is he?" Letme frowned.
Until the first melee soldier falls.
[Ding! Under pressure, the host missed one melee minion, gaining Consciousness Fragment +1%]
[Ding! Host missed 1 melee minion, gained Hand Speed Fragment +2%]
A crisp notification sound rang in his mind as Lin Mo comfortably hid in the bushes in front of his team's top tower, motionless.
Because of Teemo's passive ability – invisible wings.
If you stand still for 1.5 seconds, you will enter an invisible state!
As long as I don't come out, you can't hit me! I won't eat the minions, I'll just soak up some experience!
"Holy crap, Teemo just went invisible and AFK as soon as he logged in?!"
In WE's training room, a group of players were completely dumbfounded.
"Is this the LPL semifinals?" Even coach Hongmi couldn't help but swear.
