Chapter 114 The Strategy of Protecting the Winner
The selection of Quinn was indeed unexpected, as this champion is rarely seen in professional matches, unless the opposing team is playing Renekton. Otherwise, picking her first would be highly inappropriate.
Because Quinn is a champion who ultimately needs to gain an advantage in the lane.
Now it's up to ADD to see which hero he chooses.
Given ADD's personality, he's the type of top laner who plays conservatively, so even if he knows the opponent might pick Quinn top lane, he'll still build a tanky item.
As expected, ADD picked a counter-pick hero in his last pick.
The champion is Poppy, which makes sense, doesn't it?
After all, you shouldn't expect ADD to carry the game; you should expect him to be the icing on the cake!
Therefore, when you watch BLG's matches, you can always see that their player ADD hardly eats anything in the early game and is willing to teleport to the bottom lane to protect his teammates.
To be honest, a blue-collar top laner like ADD, who doesn't get completely dominated in the top lane and occasionally has some standout moments, is exactly the kind of top laner many strong teams need.
To be frank, if ADD had joined FPX—that is, before the timeline, if ADD had joined FPX and replaced GimGoon, he might have also won the world championship.
Of course, this is just a prediction, since no one knows if ADD will be the right person.
Just like during S8, many people said that even if you tied a dog to IG's jungle, they could win the world championship. That's obviously impossible; Ning is much stronger than a dog.
There was no intention to insult Prince Ning, but it was just that kind of meaning!
Often in the LPL or LCK, there are many players who are a pity. They have the ability, but they can't perform. These people make people feel sorry for them, but there is nothing they can do.
Just like the three ADCs who were once hailed as the three great ADCs of the millennium, although they are still active in the competition, one has to say that the gap between these people will only widen in the future.
Even IBOY, who was initially favored by everyone, turned out to be a pushover and couldn't even find a job.
Anyway, ADD is just one of the most inconspicuous professional players, someone who is occasionally remembered by some people, and who has never made a splash in the history of the league.
As for the final lineup, it's been finalized.
Blue side DMO: Top lane Quinn, Jungle Olaf, Mid lane Jayce, Bot lane Ezreal and Nautilus.
BLG (Red Side): Top lane Poppy, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Ahri, Bot lane Sivir and Lux.
As for why they didn't pick Kai'Sa for Gala, but instead chose Ezreal.
To put it nicely, the appearance of Kai'Sa indirectly weakened other regions.
Don't they even consider which region Kai'Sa's skin belongs to?
That's right, this skin is for the Void God.
What? The Kai'Sa skin is Jackylove's?
Okay, then Vayne's skin has to be god-tier, right?
No one would think that, given God's status, the Fist wouldn't be so stingy as to not even give God a skin!
You all underestimate God's influence.
Although Quinn has been chosen, it's still rare to see Quinn vs. Poppy in this matchup.
Looking at the lineup selections on the field, Wawa calmly said, "Quinn, Coach Jing Yu has brought out a new hero again! No matter what the result is, we can have some hope. I don't think he will choose to bring Teleport this time."
That's right, Yang Jingyu still won't bring teleportation.
Miller then added, "A long-range fighter against a short-range fighter should be quite easy."
That's absolutely true; a longer reach makes it easier to fight a shorter reach.
Moreover, as long as Quinn keeps pressuring Poppy in the early game and the enemy jungler Guohao doesn't gank, then the long-range champion might be able to win the top lane against the short-range champion.
Because this version of ruins is truly impressive.
Quinn building Blade of the Ruined King in the top lane against tank champions is practically beating her son.
BLG still picked Poppy for ADD, hoping he could hold his own, because they were playing mid and bot in this game.
Of course, Guohao might also gank top lane, since Graves has pretty high burst damage.
He doesn't necessarily need to kill Yang Jingyu; he just needs to make him suffer.
So the question is, will Guohao target Yang Jingyu in this game?
The biggest problem now is that BLG picked Poppy as their last counter pick, and ADD was given Poppy to play defensively. If Guohao doesn't go up even once, won't that cause a complete breakdown in the relationship between the top and jungle?
So, Guohao must be in a dilemma. He prefers playing jungle carry, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Graves.
Guohao is truly amazing, not only in ranked matches but also in scrims.
Even in scrimmages, he's the kind of player who consistently carries the team.
BLG's scrimmages are also very intense, but everyone is holding back and practicing their skills, so they don't reveal their killer moves openly.
As for DMO's coach Yang Jingyu, he directly picked Quinn for the top lane. If Guohao didn't gank him, he would be doing a disservice to his role as a jungle carry.
Believe first, then question!
The belief is to believe in ADD's resilience, while the doubt is to question Yang Jingyu's Quinn-like abilities.
Actually, they shouldn't have questioned Yang Jingyu's Quinn. Although Yang Jingyu only played three games in the Spring Split before retiring, to put it bluntly, the only game in which Yang Jingyu carried the entire team was when his Quinn flew around wildly.
