G~~2!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two familiar faces walked onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The S12 G2 underwent a major overhaul; after Perkz and Rekkles left one after another, the only veterans left that old players can recognize at a glance are mid-laner Caps and jungler Jankos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first opening match of the S12 Group Stage is about to begin! Let's invite the players from both sides to take the stage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The on-site Western broadcast desk took over the live feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming into view were none other than G2's two legendary veterans, Perkz and another legendary veteran, Rekkles, presiding over the commentary desk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the teams these two are on this year didn't make it to the World Championship, they are currently on a boring vacation, so they were naturally more than happy to accept the invitation as guest commentators for this opening match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the waiting and calibration phase, the bearded commentator excitedly stirred up the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, how do the two G2 legends view this match??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the question about their former team and the defending champions, the two men answered with their own distinct styles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steady Rekkles chose to play it safe: \"I think it's a 50-50 split. Although EDG is the first seed, I heard their mid-laner this year is a rookie. You know, a rookie's first World Championship usually doesn't go too smoothly. I believe in Caps!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Perkz laughed out loud: \"That's right, today's winning point is in the mid lane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember back in the day, there was an LPL first seed whose mid-laner was also in the World Championship for the first time. They were originally invincible in their region, but as soon as they got to Worlds, they were defeated by the LEC and LCS in turns and were eliminated directly in the group stage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that team's mid-laner's name again? Sorry, my memory hasn't been great lately. It was this, this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perkz vividly performed a \"drawing a bow and shooting an arrow\" motion—then, his entire upper body suddenly made an exaggerated \"reverse\" turn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Damn, memories that have been dead for years are attacking me.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[!

GoldV had been a pro for years before making it to Worlds for the first time. Master Ye is in Worlds in his first year as a pro.

What's going on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rekkles shrugged with an innocent look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perkz, meanwhile, lowered his head, looking left and right at the tabletop: \"This button is broken!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the brief pre-match entertainment, the pick-and-ban screen soon appeared on the display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG is on the blue side for this match; they start by banning Maokai, while G2 bans Akali!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh? EDG's coach looks so familiar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perkz noticed Clearlove standing behind the EDG players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this moment, Clearlove seemed to just be standing behind the mid-laner's gaming chair, tilting his head as if looking at the direction of the opponent's keyboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director clearly also noticed something wrong here and cut to a side close-up shot of the EDG player area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, it was clearly visible that in front of the mid-laner's keyboard, there was a notebook lying there with writing vaguely visible on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closer, Clearlove's lips moved very little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the boy in the mid-lane position hadn't stopped talking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does this mean!\" Perkz widened his eyes in surprise: \"Looking at this, it seems like their mid-laner is doing the pick-and-ban? Then what is Clearlove there for!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Perkz, our rules state that every team must have a coach present,\" the bearded commentator on the other side kindly reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, letting someone who is playing in the World Championship for the first time do the pick-and-ban...\" Rekkles's tone was quite incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if people abroad had heard some things about EDG, at most they had heard that this mid-laner seemed quite strong, was very good at \"conducting research,\" and had seen some highlight reels that had been reposted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those \"Easter egg secrets\" that could only be known from \"interviews\" and \"voice comms,\" it was naturally unlikely they knew too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearlove was clearly just there to occupy a spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the pick-and-ban progressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Bo also discovered that G2's understanding of the version was completely different from his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First was the understanding of the \"mid-lane position.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the World Championship version, the changes to the mid lane were relatively minimal, only nerfing a few of the most mainstream champions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the first to bear the brunt were Azir, Sylas, and Ahri, the three top-tier picks of the Summer Split.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Azir had his W sand soldier damage and E skill cooldown nerfed, making his early-game combat power and survival difficulty a higher test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahri had the charm duration of her most critical E skill nerfed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the nerf to Sylas, at first glance, seemed the smallest, just a reduction in base health and a nerf to the Q skill's cooldown and damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one must know that originally, quite a few people would choose to max Q early on Sylas to survive the laning phase—now they were essentially forced to max W.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for a W-max Sylas, to hit someone, he must land his E, which undoubtedly raised the bar for Sylas's mechanical requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these were just the minor points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest impact was: [Stopwatch].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of Stopwatch was increased from 600 to 750 gold, and the build path for completed items became nearly 400 gold more expensive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhonya's Hourglass just happened to be one of Sylas's core items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this led to a sharp drop in Sylas's win rate in solo queue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the recent experience of the G2 members in ranked games, they also felt that Sylas's strength was completely insufficient, and one could even say he was already a bit like a \"sewer-tier\" hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG takes Sylas! And G2 snatches up the Aphelios-Renata combo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This G2 pick-and-ban looks so comfortable; I think my button really was broken when I voted earlier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For a version sewer-tier Sylas, how could they let the opponent get the Aphelios-Renata combo so comfortably? And Caitlyn, who was hot in the Play-Ins, was also banned. This is wrong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perkz was wantonly expressing his own opinions on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other side, Ye Bo, upon seeing the opponent snatch the Aphelios-Renata combo without almost any hesitation, understood the opponent's pick-and-ban strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>G2's strategy was still that same \"framework\" from the Summer Split—that is, catering to the durability version, favoring a mid-to-late game scaling multi-carry lineup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was also the current status of most teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they had an understanding of the new version, they would definitely try to modify and experiment based on the existing framework first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>EDG in this match could also be considered to be experimenting with their own brand-new understanding of this version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every team would have their own interpretation of the version; a hundred schools of thought contending would make the competition even more exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the final result would depend on the test of the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the strength in the Play-Ins was uneven; except for the match between the two fourth seeds from the Chinese and Korean regions, other matches could only be used as a reference, and one even had to be careful not to be led astray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the opening match of the \"Group Stage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, this match would be a contest that all teams would attach great importance to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lineups for both sides were confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>EDG: Aatrox, Graves, Sylas, Kalista, Ashe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>G2: Ornn, Hecarim, Ryze, Aphelios, Renata\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG has chosen a somewhat rare lineup here... although they picked the version-strong top and jungle, they went against the version to pick the heavily nerfed Sylas and Kalista, and they even brought out a support Ashe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, I think the G2 lineup is better; it's a very complete lineup!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Caps's Ryze, I believe that as our European veteran, he will leave a deep impression on the rookie from the LPL!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The on-site commentary desk entered the banter phase again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Perkz didn't favor the overall victory, he seemed to have a lot of confidence in his old teammate, Caps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, what I'm personally most dissatisfied with is the Top 20 selection this year; they actually only ranked Caps at 20th! But they ranked this rookie at 12th! Too amateur!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rekkles, do you think there's a possibility of a solo kill for Caps in this match? I guess three times!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rekkles didn't dare to follow up on this when he heard it, and just brushed it off to avoid the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>EDG was, after all, the LPL's first seed, and it was obvious from the earlier voting that there was a gap in strength between the two sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perkz was here today just to create show effects, but Rekkles had an idol image to maintain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just two days before the start of the match that the official announcement of the Top 20 players for this year's World Championship was released, which is also a routine program before every year's World Championship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that this selection was clearly quite controversial and was called outrageous by many!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most controversial was that the top two spots were taken by Samsung's dual carries, Chovy and Ruler. As the defending champions and first seed, EDG's five members were only barely all in the top fifteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a rookie, Ye Bo, despite his outstanding performance, was only ranked 12th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And perhaps because of his performance in the LCK Summer Finals, Faker, as the LCK's second seed, was only ranked 19th, nearly falling off the list!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for G2, as Europe's second seed, the whole team only had Caps barely scraping into the bottom of the list, showing their desolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a veteran dynasty of Europe, even if G2 knew that the team was no longer what it used to be, they naturally were unwilling to accept this fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the best way to prove themselves was to successfully advance from this group, which was universally recognized as the Group of Death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh~! Oh~! Oh~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the live commentary desk, the three commentators’ native-language exclamations rang out incessantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jankos’s Hecarim is scurrying through the jungle! Why can no one come to help him? His jungle has been constantly plundered and driven out by Jiejie’s Graves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caps has absolutely no chance to move in the mid lane! This Sylas’s laning style is simply insane! He’s trading health to the death—is he not afraid of being ganked!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in the bottom lane, wasn’t Kalista nerfed? Why does it feel like the bottom lane matchup is completely unplayable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After G2 secured the perfect team composition everyone had envisioned, the collapse of the match completely exceeded all expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the reason did not simply lie in the team composition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest impact of the World Championship patch was on the jungle and the bottom lane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the original Summer Split patch, the importance of the bottom lane could be said to be visibly critical; in the durability patch, everyone believed that ADCs had reaped the benefits of the version, with hyper-carry champions becoming the core of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Bo, through the changes in the top lane ecosystem during the Regional Qualifiers and the bottom lane champion adjustments in the World Championship patch, perceived a point of intersection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hyper-carry ADC champions require at least two items to be effective, and some even need three; this means they only have their time to shine after at least 20–25 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about top lane light fighters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their innate champion attributes are set in stone; they can have impressive combat power starting at level six, and the vast majority of them possess team-fighting capability with just one item!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, Camille, Jax, or Fiora with Divine Sunderer; Aatrox with Eclipse or Goredrinker; Kennen with Rocketbelt; Renekton with...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ye Bo was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If light fighters in the top lane become the mainstream, and with a stable dual-carry setup in the top and mid lanes, while the jungler often acts as a semi-carry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>does a team still need to pick a hyper-carry in the bottom lane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the bottom lane does not need to shoulder the burden of being a hyper-carry, what kind of positioning should the bottom lane have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This match was Ye Bo’s experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking the protection of an enchanter support, Kalista’s space in mid-to-late game team fights would be limited, and without the engage potential of a tank support, her laning kill pressure would also weaken; one could say she has absolutely no late game to speak of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Kalista + Ashe combination—this seemingly rare and mismatched dual-ranged duo—had one sole effect: \"Ultimate Lane Priority!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Bo’s experiment was to see if, by changing the early-to-late game focus of the team composition and choosing to trade the bottom lane’s late-game potential for extreme early-game lane priority, another system could be formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And bottom lane priority not only ensures the safety and invasion of the bottom half of the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also brings about a key node: the Dragon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely the Dragon, which seemed to have been \"ignored\" by everyone in the playoff patch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on the superior lane priority in the bottom lane, EDG’s Graves aggressively invaded the Hecarim’s jungle to force a swap, attacked the Dragon right on time at the 5-minute mark, and continued to pressure it by timing the 5-minute respawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the opponent chooses to take the fight, the side that has selected extreme early-game lane priority and strong early-game combat champions will undoubtedly hold the absolute initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the reason why, in Ye Bo’s vision, Sylas’s strength would not be affected, and would even be enhanced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because when it comes to early-game combat ability, Sylas is absolutely second to none, and it has to be the \"Combat Sylas\" that maxes W in the current patch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the opponent does not take the fight, they will face the threat of the \"Dragon Soul Fight\" just past the 20-minute mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 20 minutes, an ADC with normal farm generally does not have two items yet, and even if they do, they are far from their peak power spike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is exactly the moment when the vast majority of light fighters have completed their items, and it is the peak combat moment for mid-game champions like Renekton!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By swapping combat power and adjusting the power spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Lane Priority Struggle\" in the bottom half of the map is the core key to this system!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the team composition G2 selected for this opening match was exactly what this system perfectly countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is just a pity that, due to G2’s laning strength in every lane being somewhat poor, especially in the critical bottom lane, the effect of the system could not be fully seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting match effect seemed more like a gap in the strength of the two sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>G2’s bottom lane, the World Championship rookie Flakked, could not withstand the pressure at all when facing Viper and Meiko, who specialize in laning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laning of the Ryze\u002FRenata combination can only be described as average;
