Chapter 191 RNG's Jungle Carry Strategy!
"In that case, take Xayah and Rakan!"
The AFS coach waved his hand.
Since the opposing team is giving us such an opportunity, picking a top laner first, there's no need to rush to pick our own top laner.
After all, there are just too many champions in the top lane who can easily beat Kled.
Whether it's the strong champions of the current version like Aatrox and Darius, or the four sisters, they can all suppress Kled in the early game.
In any case, SKT's strategy only requires the top laner to play a normal three-minute laning phase. As long as the chosen champion can survive the first three minutes and withstand the pressure of lane swapping, the tactical objective can be achieved.
If all else fails, you can even play with a tank in the top lane!
AFS locked down Xayah and Rakan on the first and second floors, determined to maintain the dominance of the bottom lane.
Moreover, this move not only ensures the strength of the duo, but also ensures that during the final lane swap, the two can suppress Arthur, who has been farming for about 6 minutes.
Kiin took a deep breath and glanced sideways at his own bot lane duo.
"You guys are all set, right? With such a strong combination, there's no reason you can't hold them off in a two-on-one situation."
The two AFS bot laners simultaneously gave an "OK" sign.
Xayah and Rakan were their most confident champion picks in this patch, and with the pre-match tactical setup, they were confident!
It was RNG's turn to pick players on the second and third floors.
Feng's eyes darted back and forth between Kled and Xayah, like two bolts of lightning.
He knew very well that Fang Han intended to try a completely new game strategy in this match.
However, this tactical arrangement, which places the core damage output in the mid lane and jungle, has not been sufficiently tested in actual combat to provide a strong enough foundation for the entire team.
It's not about letting Mlxg control the jungle carry champions; RNG has only tried this a few times in the regular season in the past.
At this moment, in such an important match, in such a crucial game, to resolutely bring out this tactic that hasn't been fully tested in practice—perhaps only Arthur would have such courage and boldness.
At this point, Feng couldn't help but turn his head slightly, meeting Heart's gaze. The two of them, as if by unspoken understanding, simultaneously revealed a faint smile.
Because at that very moment, their gazes caught a glimpse of a calm and serene smile on Fang Han's composed face.
Whenever they see that familiar and reassuring smile, the worries that were originally deep in their hearts vanish instantly, like the morning mist.
With Fang Han, the "King of Knights," in charge of the arena, victory is like a fruit within reach, easily plucked with a simple reach.
"Brother Feng, Aunt Xin, what are you spacing out for?"
Fang Han didn't hear his coaches' voices for a while and thought they had left the voice channel.
Feng shook his head and smiled, then patted Fang Han on the shoulder.
"Let's do it then, listen to Fang Shen, let's do it!"
Xiaohu and Mlxg were just waiting to hear those words!
As soon as the words were spoken, the blue team's second and third floors instantly locked down Vladimir and Shen, eliciting gasps from the audience:
"A vampire?! Is it Fang Shen's vampire?"
"It could be Xiaohu's vampire. RNG has two vampire kings on their side."
"It's starting, RNG's signature sway!"
"It's a pity, I thought I would see their championship skins released."
Is it possible that RNG will get a second set of championship skins?
"..."
Just as the RNG team began selecting heroes, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared on the screen—Vladimir!
When the hero was selected, the audience and commentators couldn't help but get excited, because they knew that the RNG team, famous for its "three-lane swing" strategy, was about to make a comeback!
However, compared to the appearance of the vampire, everyone is more concerned about the choice of another hero - Shen.
Without a doubt, this Shen pick will be controlled by player Xiaoming.
Indeed, over the past two years, Xiaoming has shown a particular fondness for the champion Shen, often using him in the support role.
However, it is extremely rare for a player to lock in Shen as a support hero without hesitation in the first three floors, as was the case today.
After all, teams usually adjust their hero selection flexibly based on the opponent's lineup and the situation of the game, and rarely determine the role of a specific hero so early.
unless……
"No way, RNG is hiding something new?"
The AFS coaching staff nearly collapsed, their legs trembling.
They instantly locked down Shen on the third floor; they don't believe RNG wasn't prepared!
Shen isn't exactly a strong support, so why would we worry about AFS banning him specifically?
It shouldn't be...
With Shen Yi out, AFS needs to rethink its tactics.
The first few minutes were fine, but once Shen reached level 6, his ultimate ability, which could support the entire map, would further hinder their tactical implementation.
Perhaps Xayah and Rakan can suppress Kled, but what if you add Shen to the mix?
At this moment, the members of the AFS team fell into a deathly silence.
They stared wide-eyed at each other, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment.
It must be admitted that RNG's sudden change in the draft strategy was like a violent storm that suddenly descended, catching AFS completely off guard and leaving them dizzy and at a loss.
The initially confident AFS lost the initiative instantly when faced with such a clever and sharp tactical adjustment, as if they were suddenly lost in the vast battlefield.
"Never mind, let's pick a top lane hero first, buy some time for the second round, and then figure out how to counter them!"
Since they couldn't figure it out, the AFS coaching staff simply gave up and picked Darius for their top laner.
In this version, Darius remains the undisputed Tier 0 top laner.
As long as you pick Darius for the top lane and play it safe, even if you don't gain an advantage, you should at least have a 50/50 chance.
As I said before, as long as you can get through the first three minutes, the rhythm will become the most comfortable for AFS!
In the second round of banning, both sides conducted two rounds of targeted bans on positions where the opposing team had not yet picked any heroes.
RNG banned Swain and Morgana, while AFS banned Lucian and Kai'Sa.
Immediately afterwards, AFS acquired Sejuani on the fourth floor, adding a front-line tank and initiator to the team.
RNG continued with the strategy agreed upon before the match, entrusting UZI with playing EZ.
As for the final pick, RNG didn't think too much and immediately locked in Graves!
The moment Graves was picked as the fifth pick, the entire arena erupted in uproar once again:
"Graves?! Are you kidding me?"
"Can this hero really be used in competitive matches?"
"A hero without control and without advantages is as good as not being a hero at all."
"That's ridiculous! Couldn't you have played it safe in the last round?"
"What I'm saying is, could it be that Arthur will be the one to handle this Graves role?"
"..."
