Yu Tong looked at Xiao Duan and picked Pyke, and said with a little excitement, "Will we be able to see Flandre playing Pyke in the top lane again this game?"
Kris chimed in, "It's just a few seconds left, it should be Pike's turn."
With three seconds left in the countdown, Xiao Duan helped Flandre choose Pyke.
Yang Jingyu looked at Parker being chosen, his expression somewhat complicated.
In the LPL, only Flandre dares to pick Pyke in professional matches.
Moreover, his Pyke can be surprisingly effective in the top lane, which is the most remarkable thing.
Team compositions selected: DMO (blue side), LNG (red side)!
DMO's lineup consists of Kennen (top), Olaf (jungle), Ryze (mid), and Sivir and Galio (bot).
For LNG, the top laner is Pyke, the jungler is Trundle, the mid laner is Neeko, and the bot lane consists of Kai'Sa and Nautilus.
The two coaches shook hands amicably. Zhu Kai is not yet heavily pregnant, and his belly doesn't jiggle when he walks off the stage.
Then the audience started cheering for both teams. There were even some trolls who, after cheering for LGD, were also cheering for G2!
If it weren't for RNG's match today, otherwise if you dared to shout "Go G2!", they would definitely confiscate your ID card and make you walk out of the stadium.
This season has already been going on for two weeks, and LNG's dragon control rate and Baron rate are ranked first and second in the league.
This shows just how terrifying LNG is in the Summer Split.
Of course, whether LNG will follow the Snakes' old tradition of starting strong but ending weak depends on the mid-preseason.
After all, every year they start strong but then start to decline in the mid-season.
The game loading screen appears, and you enter the match screen.
Neither side made any special design choices at level one, except that SofM's Troll Warlord had Fleet Footwork, which was hard to understand.
Normally, junglers take Conqueror, but SofM has his own unique understanding of jungling, so it's hard to say he made a mistake.
In the early game, Kennen slightly pressured Pyke in the top lane, Ryze and Neeko were evenly matched in the mid lane, and Mark in the bottom lane kept getting hooked by Xiaoduan's Nautilus, causing Mark's health to drop very quickly.
Even if Mark has aftershock, it's impossible for every hook to trigger aftershock.
At the 4-minute mark, Sofm tried to take the river crab, but was spotted by Ale.
Sofm was forced to retreat, and Ah Le, being quite bold, went back to the line from the river.
Flandre wasn't going to let him get away with it. He immediately used Pyke's E-Flash to pull Kennen into Trundle's arms.
This troll has a red buff, making him extremely sticky.
However, Ale's operation was also extremely skillful. He flashed into the minion wave, preventing Sofm from getting the first hit, and then used his E skill, Lei Kai, to escape.
Both top laners used Flash, so Ale definitely lost out.
The best thing about top lane Pyke is that it's hard for junglers to gank him.
Without Flash, Kennen would be very vulnerable to being pushed into lane, even with his E skill. Against a champion like Trundle who can accelerate and control the terrain, he would die very easily, especially since the enemy top laner is Pyke with a hook and stun.
In Yang Jingyu's eyes, if Pyke had Electrocute and Trundle had Press the Attack, then Ale would have no chance of escaping. With the red buff, Trundle could Flash in and stick to Kennen, and Kennen would definitely die.
However, both Flandre and SofM had Fleet Footwork, which resulted in a lack of damage, allowing Kennen to survive.
Although Ale didn't die in this round, it's clear that Flandre and SofM are very familiar with this lineup, and they must have practiced it a lot in private.
At 5 minutes and 54 seconds, Twila, taking advantage of having Flash, recklessly placed wards in the river using Plex.
As a result, Plex decisively flashed over and used Entangling Spikes to immobilize Twila, then activated his ultimate ability, Unleash Fury.
Twila reacted quickly and used Flash to dodge Neeko's ultimate.
But the troll was right next to him, blocking Ryze's path to his own jungle with a pillar. Even though Ryze used Wind Rider, he still couldn't escape.
Fortunately, Xiaopeng arrived, and in a 2v2 situation, a mid-jungle swap occurred.
Twila fell first, and then Sofm was also killed by Xiaopeng's Olaf with an axe.
This wave was naturally a loss for DMO, because Twila used Flash, the opponent still had First Blood, he didn't have Teleport, and the minion wave had already pushed into the tower, so he would lose at least two waves of minions.
Seven minutes in, Flandre made a move in the mid lane, cooperating with Trundle and Neeko to gank Ryze again. Pyke got the kill, and everyone got a share of the gold.
Eight minutes later, Twila was hit hard again, with another three-on-one attack.
Ryze started the game with a score of 0/3/1 at the 8-minute mark.
This three-man gank was quite clever; Flandre chose to teleport over, and his teleport location was a ward in the bottom lane river bush.
The moment the troll pillar jammed Twila, Twila was already in serious trouble.
After participating in the kill, Flandre immediately returned to the top lane. Although he had a kill and extra bounty, his economy was not better than Ale's.
Ah Le used the stealth skill and made it very difficult for Flandre in the early game, even taking three tower plates from Flandre, giving him a slight economic lead.
With Ah Le not providing support, he also led Saint Gun by 15 CS in last hits.
At 10 minutes and 4 seconds, LNG's bot lane duo switched to the top lane. Mark went to ward, but LNG placed a control ward in the tri-bush to block it. As a result, Mark was careless when he went to ward and was surrounded and killed by three people.
