In the Spring Split of S13, during a crucial match between RNG and TT, RNG used a time-rewind ability, sending TT's head coach, Yang Jingyu, back to the Summer Split of 2019.
At this time...
Although Yang Jingyu took the stage, he still seemed quite lost.
Although he is still playing games, he is only at the Grandmaster rank in the Chinese Super Server and Diamond 1 in the Korean server, which does not meet the requirements for playing in a club.
Currently, major clubs require their players to be at least Grandmaster rank in the Korean server, and even higher in the Challenger rank in the Super Server.
However, there was no other way; Changhong suddenly fell ill, and he had to be pulled in to put out the fire.
Just as Yang Jingyu was about to set it up, a voice rang in his mind.
"Beep, host detected..."
"Detecting..."
"Host match!"
"Esports Manager Card Draw System Bound!"
Note: Top up 10,000 units to participate in the player card draw event. (First-time draws enjoy a 25% discount.)
Note 2: After the card draw ends, you can obtain all the talents of the player in that season.
Note 3: Don't hesitate, come and draw your favorite player card!
Yang Jingyu was startled by the sudden sound and his first reaction was to take off his headphones.
The referee next to him walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the headphones?"
Yang Jingyu shook his head and put his headphones back on.
The draft phase has already begun, with DMO on the blue side and EDG on the red side!
On DMO's side, Yang Jingyu directly arranged for the removal of Irelia, Sylas, and Jarvan IV.
EDG also made no changes, sticking with Nidalee, Jayce, and Aatrox.
On DMO's side, Yang Jingyu still got Kai'Sa for Gala!
The two commentators on the commentary booth were stunned by this scene.
Changmao said, "If that's the case, EDG will be picking Xayah and Rakan again. If they keep picking like this, won't the lineup end up being the same?"
Wawa also said, "It seems that Coach Epoch thinks the problem wasn't the lineup in the last game, and he plans to use the original lineup to clash with EDG again."
Indeed, DMO made too many mistakes in the last game.
They had a huge advantage in the early game, but still lost. There's no way to blame the draft picks anymore.
As expected, EDG picked Xayah and Rakan, while DMO picked Nautilus and Cassiopeia.
The memory of Twila's Cassiopeia solo-killing Scout's Corki in the last game is still fresh in my mind; Cassiopeia is also Twila's signature champion.
Seeing that DMO had picked Cassiopeia on the third floor, EDG opted to change their lineup and picked Kennen.
That Kennen pick was brilliant; if DMO had picked Sion instead, it would have been a complete waste.
EDG banned Vladimir and Gangplank on the fourth and fifth floors. Vladimir is a champion who is strong in lane and team fights, especially in the hands of IG's top laner TheShy. He's not just a vampire, he's a blood-sucking pump.
After DMO removed Ryze and Olaf, EDG still had Xin Zhao on the fourth floor.
On the fourth floor of DMO, Gala chose jungler Rek'Sai for Xiaopeng, and it was still Rek'Sai.
The fifth pick is the hero that counters Kennen.
For EDG, it will definitely be Kennen in the top lane; they won't be flexing it.
Within the allotted time, Yang Jingyu couldn't resist and rushed into the 7,500-man marathon.
The gacha system was also very efficient, and the wheel of fate quickly started spinning.
"Damn, fate is a big hammer!"
Three seconds later, the system's voice sounded again.
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the card of TheShy from the WBG team in the S13 Spring Split. Develop the i-series. Would you like to use the card?"
Yang Jingyu was dumbfounded. Thyshy from the S13 Spring Split?
7,500 to draw this card, is he trying to ruin his reputation?
Yang Jingyu gritted his teeth and silently muttered to himself, "I won't use it."
Mark is already shouting into his headset.
"Coach, what hero should we pick on the fifth floor?"
Yang Jingyu shouted almost without hesitation, "Morpheus!"
All four team members looked at Yang Jingyu. At the last second, Mark picked up Murphy for Yang Jingyu.
The commentators on the commentary booth were dumbfounded. Malphite versus Kennen?
You know what, this move, though abstract, isn't impossible!
However, the ultimate skill must hit Xayah. If Xayah's ultimate skill can dodge Malphite's ultimate skill, then Malphite can only be used as a pure front-line tank.
From this moment on, when Yang Jingyu chooses Malphite, his eyes should only be on iboy's Xayah.
EDG chose Viktor for their last pick.
Soon, the game started, and Yang Jingyu secretly used the TheShy card he had drawn from the S13 Spring Season!
Even if TheShy is having a bad season, Yang Jingyu can't afford to mess with him.
After the lineups were selected, the two coaches should have shaken hands and walked off the stage.
However, because DMO's coach was playing a match on stage, Heart paused for a moment, remembered this matter, and then walked off the stage alone.
After both teams finished cheering, most of the cheers were for EDG. Those who shouted DMO's name were either trolls, EDG haters, or actors hired by DMO's team manager.
Once the game started, everyone realized something was wrong.
Longhair exclaimed incredulously, "My God, the Comet Stone Man!"
The doll said with a wry smile, "This is the talent I only use in Silver rank. It seems Coach Epoch is planning to build AP items this game!"
AP builds are good, but they put a lot of pressure on teammates.
The screen was filled with "666" comments praising Yang Jingyu for daring to pick Malphite to fight Kennen.
