Just when everyone on IG was anxious, Yuan Shen stood up:

"Judging from the current situation, Lao Song will definitely not be able to catch up. I will play in the middle lane." Yuan Shen suddenly said.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Yuan Shen has played top lane before and is now a jungler, but he has never played mid lane.

As for whether you have played it in a random game, that is another matter. This is a competition, which is very different from a random game.

Although it doesn’t seem very reliable, for IG, it is the only choice.

So Fu Manduo nodded and said, "Well, let's play like this first. We don't have any other choice. I will keep an eye on Rookie's situation at all times. If he comes later, let him play in the second and third games."

Fumanduo left the locker room and went to communicate with the referee.

King Ning found Yuan Shen and said, "Master Yuan, how can I cooperate with you? I don't think we have ever played together before."

Yuan Shen responded: "Just treat me as Lao Song. You can fight me the same way you usually fight."

"Ah? Is this okay?" King Ning was a little hesitant.

"If you think there is a problem, you can raise it and we can discuss it together."

"What I'm thinking is, even though I often make fun of Lao Song, he has strong personal abilities. When he's on the court, he basically has an advantage in the middle lane... You know what I mean, if he has an advantage in the middle lane, I can go to the opposite jungle to counter-jungle or something." Ning Wang expressed his concerns.

When he played before, he could do a lot of things by taking advantage of the mid and top lanes.

But if he suddenly can’t beat the mid laner, or even gets beaten up, he might not be able to adapt.

Yuan Shen responded: "Don't worry about that. Although I may not be as strong as Rookie in the mid lane, I won't be beaten up by him. The difference won't be that big."

Theshy and the two players in the bottom lane also came over. Everyone was very serious, not laughing and joking like usual.

After all, it's the final now, which is very crucial.

Baolan said, "If there is a chance, I will try to help you in the middle."

Yuan Shen retorted: "That won't work. The most fearful thing is to suddenly change your usual playing style and adopt a style that you haven't practiced before. It's easy to cause problems. My request to you is to play the way you usually play. Just pretend that it's Lao Song on the court. Do you hear me?"

Yuan Shen knew that he had to step forward and lead the team at this time.

On the other side, in the JDG lounge, the JDG players were playing on their mobile phones.

Suddenly, Toothpaste exclaimed: "Have you seen this news? Someone is posting that Rookie is sick and is in the emergency room of the hospital. He was photographed and is still getting an injection."

Hearing this, Zoom smiled and said, "Do you believe this kind of news or believe that I am Qin Shi Huang?"

"Hehehe..." The others laughed and didn't care.

However, the more Toothpaste watched, the more something seemed wrong: "No, this video was sent by a nurse. It also has Rookie's admission receipt and a photo with Rookie. This can't be fake."

Only Imp said: "If he can't come, then we won't get a championship for nothing? It's meaningless."

Hearing Imp's words, Green Hair also joined the discussion: "A championship that was picked up for free is still a championship, don't you want it?"

Imp didn't say anything. He didn't actually believe it. He was just talking casually.

No one cared.

Suddenly, a staff member appeared at the door and said, "IG's starting lineup has been confirmed. Top laner Theshy, jungler Ning, mid laner Yuanshen..."

"Ah?" Everyone in JDG stood up together and looked towards the door.

"ADCSmlz, assist Baolan."

After listening to this, Toothpaste asked quickly: "Wait a minute! Who are you talking about as the mid laner? Did I hear correctly? Rookie isn't going to play?"

The other party replied: "The mid laner is Yuanshen, and there is no Rookie in this list."

Everyone in JDG looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zoom exclaimed: "Toothpaste, what did you just say? Rookie is sick in the hospital now? Let me see."

Toothpaste handed the phone to Zoom.

Zoom took a look and found it was true: "Oh my god, this... is really a free championship."

Everyone in JDG was a little excited. Although it didn’t sound very nice, everyone was still very happy to win the championship.

After all, the LPL championship has been monopolized by IG for so long, everyone wants a championship!

The coach was relatively calmer: "Although we have an advantage now, we can't take it lightly. I don't need to say much about Yuan Shen's personal strength. You should all understand that he is now in a position he has never played before. A significant reduction in strength does not mean that he has no strength at all."

"The plan we made before was mainly to gain an advantage through the bottom lane and drive the overall situation. Now we may need to make a slight adjustment and break through from the middle lane!"

Everyone nodded, and the jungler Clid said, "I think the mid laner can be stronger in hero selection. You have an advantage in laning now, and you can expand your advantage by taking the stronger Silver Bear."

Toothpaste responded: "Yeah, I know, no problem."

In fact, Toothpaste’s laning ability is not bad, but he can’t show it when facing Rookie, so he will be conservative, but now he is not facing Rookie.

Zoom concluded: "No matter what, today is our best chance. If we can break IG's monopoly and win the first championship, we will also be remembered in LPL history."

For the current LPL teams, let’s not talk about winning the S game first, winning a championship in the league is a more realistic and valuable goal. The biggest obstacle to achieving this goal is naturally IG.

Guan Zeyuan, Jide and Rita were ready at the commentary booth.
Remember the opening line: "You are watching the final of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League, with our S-League three-time champion, Grand Slam team, IG versus JDG."

"From the current perspective, both teams are in good shape. This is another time that a team is challenging IG's hegemony. What is IG's hegemony? They have dominated the LPL region and this game for three years! When will a team emerge to break their monopoly? Will it be today's JDG?"

At this time, Rita suddenly said: "I just received news from the front. Due to force majeure, IG's starting mid laner Rookie will not appear in the first game. Yuan Shen will be in charge of the mid lane position in the game? Huh?"

Rita herself felt it was outrageous and too sudden.

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
"What is force majeure? Can someone translate it for me?"

"I saw someone broke the news online that Rookie is in the hospital and in a very bad condition."

"Such a big thing happened? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"No way, is IG really going to lose today?"

Now IG fans are panicking. Many of them came here with the intention of watching IG continue its legend.

Why is this happening all of a sudden?
The audience was also discussing enthusiastically, and at this moment, the contestants from both sides came on stage!
Welcomed by the host, all the IG members came on stage!

The director turned the camera over, and when they all saw Prince Ning and Yuan Shen appear on the stage at the same time, everything was settled.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "It seems that Rookie really can't play. Today, Ning Wang and Yuan Shen are on the court. How should I put it... It feels very strange." Ji De continued: "The biggest problem now is that they must have never cooperated with each other before. They definitely wouldn't try to switch the jungler to the mid lane and train with the substitute jungler. Their tacit understanding must be very average. JDG really has a chance today!"

On the other side, the JDG players also came on stage. The first thing they did when they came on stage was to look at IG. They also found it amazing that IG actually had two junglers.

The two contestants appeared on stage and stood facing each other in the middle of the stage.

Yuan Shen faced the toothpaste.

Toothpaste seemed to be trying to hold back his laughter. He had a rather honest personality and couldn't hide his thoughts. He must have been thinking of something happy.

The two sides shook hands and turned to walk towards their respective seats.

Yuan Shen sat down on the chair and put on headphones.

Fu Manduo called out: "Everyone stay focused, just play as we usually do, don't think too much, IG will win!"

After both sides are ready, they enter the BP phase of the first game.

In this game, IG is on the red side and JDG is on the blue side.

BAN hero stage.

Guan Zeyuan speculated: "I feel that IG's BP in this game needs to be biased towards the mid lane. Toothpaste's laning ability may not be as good as Rookie, but looking at the LPL region, his laning ability and carry ability are definitely among the top few. If you don't restrict him, he can take off."

IG: Big Mouth, Varus, Policewoman

JDG: Captain, Gnar, Vampire.

However, after the BP really started, everyone found that it was not what Guan Zeyuan thought at all. IG didn't care about the mid lane at all and banned all the bottom lane heroes.

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed: "Ah? IG is crazy? They didn't ban any of Toothpaste's heroes. Are they so confident in their mid lane?"

Entering the hero selection stage, JDG on the blue side got EZ on the first floor.

It was IG's turn, and IG locked down Mantis and Ziggs on the first and second floors.

Seeing Ziggs, Guan Zeyuan smiled: "Why didn't I think of Ziggs before? Coach Fumanduo is quite smart. Choosing other heroes may cause problems with laning ability, but Ziggs can avoid the problem of laning ability to the greatest extent. He only needs to use skills to make up for the loss."

Jide agreed, "That's right. You can only see the bomb but not the person. You can't even see where the bomb person is, so naturally you can't do anything to him. Bring TP when you're on the line, and go back and TP out when you don't have enough mana."

It was JDG's turn. Toothpaste from JDG muttered, "If he picks Ziggs, it seems like it will be hard for me to gain much of an advantage in the laning phase. Right now, the popular mid laners... none of them can suppress Ziggs, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack."

Clid said, "Pick a support hero and push the lane at noon, and we'll deal with their side lanes."

So JDG got the Prince on the second floor and locked Galio on the third floor.

I remember the commentator said: "JDG's thinking changes very quickly. When I see you play Ziggs in the middle, I will directly use Galio. Ziggs can continue to develop in the middle, but teammates may not be able to play. JDG's strategy is very smart."

Rita continued: "If Rookie is on the field, I guess Toothpaste would not dare to choose Galio, otherwise it would be too difficult to line up. Now he is taking advantage of the situation."

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were all:

"That's unethical, toothpaste."

"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king."

"I am really impressed by Toothpaste's face."

"This is a normal strategy for others. If you don't agree, you can also use tricks."

However, when the camera was given to Yuan Shen, Yuan Shen was not anxious at all, and even the corners of his mouth raised, as if he wanted to smile.

IG locked Sion on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

IG banned Tristana and Kalista.

JDG also banned the Master Yi and Kaisa.

IG got Braum on the fourth floor.

JDG locked down Luo and Zhuge Liang on the fourth and fifth floors.

Guan Zeyuan commented: "IG still has an ADC left to choose, which is rare for IG. The counter position is given to the bottom lane, but the opponent's bottom lane is EZ, and it is obvious that they have decided to withstand the pressure and let Luo roam and set the pace. It doesn't matter what IG chooses for the bottom lane."

"I don't have time for bullshit!"

At this moment, IG directly locked on the outlaw, Graves.

Rita was shocked: "Ah? Graves? Graves playing in the laning area? What happened to this version? Since the revision, Graves can no longer be used in the laning area. It's hard to play."

Remember to do a quick analysis: "Although ADCs have been banned a lot, it shouldn't be the case that there are no heroes left to use. Any ADC you pick is better than Graves in the bottom lane. It feels like IG is desperate and trying all kinds of methods."

Both sides began to adjust their lineups, and Graves was replaced by Yuan Shen in the middle lane.

But now no one can guarantee that IG will not continue to change, so we can only continue to wait.

The countdown entered the last twenty seconds, and the lineups of both teams were determined:

Red side IG: Top Sion, Jungle Kha'Zix, Mid Graves, ADC Ziggs, Support Braum
JDG on the blue side: top laner Big Worm, jungler Prince, mid laner Galio, ADCEZ, support Rakan
After seeing this lineup, the commentators and the audience realized it slowly!

Guan Zeyuan reacted: "It turns out that Graves is playing in the middle lane, which makes sense because Graves was a jungler before and was very popular. Yuan Shen's Graves is very good."

Remember agreed: "That's right, when he is laning against Galio... you know what, it's not difficult to beat him. Galio is easy to deal with AP mages, but facing AD marksmen, Galio is actually not easy to deal with."

Rita came to her senses: "No wonder Yuan Shen smiled confidently just now, it turns out that everything is under his control. I now have reason to suspect that IG took the bomber first just to fake a shot. JDG actually already has a single in terms of BP! It's just that they are realizing this problem now!"

Entering the game screen, Ning Wang began to set the pace: "In this game, I will focus on the top lane in the middle lane. The middle and bottom lanes should develop first. It's not easy to cooperate."

Yuan Shen responded: "Don't worry about my mid lane, just follow your own pace."

Smlz said: "We just need to last hit in the bottom lane and grow."

In fact, Yuan Shen asked Smlz to practice the hero Ziggs. The purpose was very simple, which was to use it to deal with specific lineups and opponents.

The opponent's laning strength is strong, and the heroes are restricted and other problems make the bottom lane difficult to play, so you can choose Ziggs.

To put it bluntly, choosing this hero can ensure that you can play in the bottom lane, so that it will not fall apart at the slightest touch, and you can avoid clashes with the opposite side.

Of course, Yuan Shen didn't expect that it would be used at this time.

Yuan Shen chose Doran's Blade to go out and went straight to the river below the middle lane to stand guard.

Neither side had any intention of invading in this match, so the match started normally. The first wave of soldiers came out, and Yuan Shen came to the middle lane to face off. (End of this chapter)
