In the cheers of the entire arena, Xu Dongmen's photo appeared on the big screen on site.

The first MVP of this MSI was officially born.

【So handsome it exploded!】

【This Nidalee feels like she's playing a different champion from everyone else, at least LPL has no one who can match her】

【As a piglet, after watching this match I suddenly got a chilling feeling down my back】

【Alas, in the semifinals EDG should have been 3-0, the win we got was truly a lucky escape】

【Stixxay taught Wuzi a lesson with Caitlyn, XDM directly made Xmithie stand in punishment in front of the blackboard】

【Jungle position tuition is too high!!】

………

After coming down from the stage, Xu Dongmen and the others entered the backstage lounge.

During the group stage, each team has two matches per day.

According to the schedule, the next match is in 4 hours.

Upon returning to the lounge, the first thing was to eat.

At this time it was nearing 3 PM, everyone had only eaten one meal today, the team captain had prepared boxed meals for everyone.

After the meal, everyone sat in chairs watching the match while digesting food, some napping, some playing on their phones.

Only UZI ran alone to the screen the coach uses for review, and began rewatching the just-finished match.

The entire match lasted 33 minutes, the kill count was 20-7!

UZI's focus was on the opposing laner Stixxay: "How to put it, this person's Caitlyn has something…… no, what I don't get is, originally this version of Caitlyn could still be played this well?"

Compared to the heartfelt complaints when being pressured in lane, Jian Zihao had now regained his composure and began to think.

"What's wrong, little dog, any problems?" Head coach Pu Longyun leaned over.

This is a coach with an extremely strong sense of responsibility, never not paying attention to the players.

UZI frankly said: "Coach, can you tell me why no one in our region uses Caitlyn? I laned against Caitlyn today and found this hero is very strong, obviously it can be played."

"Zihao player, being able to think of this makes me very pleased."

Pu Longyun first praised him, then explained: "The reason Caitlyn cannot be played is not the hero itself, but the equipment. This season's Essence Reaver, which you all call Blue Blade, has stats that are too OP, it came out in the S6 preseason and directly became the ADC god item!"

When an item simultaneously has high attack, high crit, high CD reduction, and lets you not worry about mana, what would that scene look like?

Please refer to the 2016 Spring Season.

Lucian, Sivir, Miss Fortune, Gangplank all ascended!

Ezreal Kalista can still barely survive by mechanism, the miserable ones are those crit-flow ADCs relying on basic attacks.

The first to suffer were Caitlyn Jinx.

Compared to Lucian Sivir, their first item is often Infinity Edge.

Infinity Statikk Shiv, Infinity Red Cross…… how many years have we been building like this!

After Blue Blade came out, the bottom lane ecosystem underwent a complete transformation.

Same price, same attack and crit, but missing a full 30% CD reduction and a mana steal passive.

The most deadly part is, their crafting formula is even smoother than yours!

How are you supposed to lane against them?

Throughout the entire spring season, Caitlyn didn't appear once, and Jinx only appeared a handful of times.

This spring, Blue Blade slaughtered crit-flow ADCs.

Coach Cui Jiaolian added: "Not only our region has none, LCK Caitlyn appearance rate is also nearly zero, precisely because Caitlyn is too disadvantaged in equipment."

"This Stixxay, his build is to not build Infinity first, buy a B. F. Sword and a Pickaxe to hang on him for laning, then directly transition to attack speed items."

UZI dragged the replay progress bar to 18 minutes.

At this time Caitlyn's equipment was 【B. F. Sword + Pickaxe + Lulu's Hurricane】.

The splitbow became the first big item.

"And his third item is Rapid Firecannon, Infinity + two attack speed items, look at this teamfight he dealt so much damage, we were leading by 7000 in teamfights and almost didn't pull it off, too exaggerated."

UZI pointed at the replay screen, his face full of disbelief.

This was a teamfight at 29 minutes, with top, mid, jungle and all three lanes having a big advantage, yet we almost capsized on Stixxay's three-item Caitlyn.

"Don't say you guys, when I was watching the livestream backstage with the coaching staff I was so nervous I couldn't stand it, luckily we had Zhang Hongwei's Anti-theft Door, otherwise we truly couldn't withstand Caitlyn's output!"

Lin Ke came out, his "Zhang Hongwei" refers to the support Tiancaimori, real name Zhang Hongwei.

"Good thing we won this teamfight and took Baron, otherwise dragging into the late game, letting Caitlyn get another one or two items would make teamfights very hard for us, this version Caitlyn has too long a reach."

Wuzi spoke frankly.

This match truly showed an AD difference, the output bar length on the settlement page showed Lucian was nearly half as short as Caitlyn.

Stixxay's output bar nearly crossed the midline.

Fortunately teammates gave support, otherwise I would definitely have become a war criminal.

"Turns out Caitlyn can still be played like this, I also really want to try a game!"

After watching Stixxay's explosive Caitlyn output, UZI himself also really wanted to try.

Who still can't play Caitlyn?

As one of the strongest ADCs in the LPL, his Caitlyn is no joke.

The problem is, he hasn't played this champion in over half a year.

A champion that can't be played in matches? Why bother playing him?

It's not like his main is Vayne and his joy source is Yasuo...

Stixxay's Caitlyn this game stirred up UZI's long-dormant detective urge.

His hands were itching unbearably!

Unfortunately, the officials didn't provide any gaming machines in the rest area.

"I have a way, we can just play during the match later, right?"

Xu Dongmen came up with a dirty idea.

"Ah? That's not too good, is it?" Wuzi revealed a bashful smile.

Though he said it wasn't good on his lips, his eyes betrayed him.

"I think it's fine, I believe in you." Xu Dongmen voiced his strong support.

It wasn't just trash talk; he also took action.

When he returned to the battlefield again, a lineup centered around Caitlyn was directly brought out.

Top lane Ekko

Jungle Lee Sin

Mid lane Ryze

Bottom lane Caitlyn+Tahm Kench

With Xu Dongmen's strong support, the coaching staff was also happy to try something new, even assigning Tahm Kench to Wuzi to escort and protect him.

"Come on, let's go place a ward on the enemy Malphite."

"Someone's here, the enemy support is here, I've licked him!"

"Fight, fight, we can fight, I'm coming right away!"

At the start, a teamfight broke out because Tiancaimori wanted to invade the enemy jungle to place a ward, but ended up colliding with the enemy bot lane in the Triangle Brush, resulting in a 2V2 stalemate.

Xu Dongmen rushed over quickly, helped the bot lane repel the enemy, and Tiancaimori successfully placed a scouting ward in the enemy Krugs area.

The motive for this ward placement is simple: prevent the enemy from invading early to take Malphite.

In this match, QG faced off against SUP from the Turkish region, the reigning champions of this year's wildcard region.

Unlike the other five teams, SUP, after winning their regional championship, also participated in the IWC wildcard qualifiers, enduring round after round of brutal elimination before emerging victorious and securing an MSI slot.

If Western teams like to troll by picking strange champions, then wildcard teams stand out by having a tricky angle in their composition.

In this game, SUP's bot lane picked the Lucian+Poppy combination.

You might think they're just randomly picking champions, but in reality, this is their bot lane's signature, relying on this combo to dominate in the qualifiers.

Even against the SKT Wolf and Barrage combo in the previous game, they managed to nearly go even in the first ten minutes.

SUP's bot lane laning ability is not an issue!

Moreover, both Lucian and Poppy are champions that undergo a qualitative transformation upon reaching level 2.

This is also why UZI and Tiancaimori went to the Krugs camp to place wards.

Once the enemy gets an early jungle monster kill, they only need to eat one wave of minions after returning to lane to hit level 2, after which you'll have to engage in close combat with this combo, and Caitlyn's long-range advantage will be greatly diminished.

"As expected, they wanted to invade."

"Go!"

Seeing the enemy start fighting Malphite, UZI and Tiancaimori, who had been lying in wait in the Triangle Brush, immediately rushed over.

SUP's bot lane also knew better, realizing they couldn't withstand Caitlyn's output while trying to take jungle monsters, so they directly chose to give up.

In the S6 season, jungle monsters spawned at 1:40, and the first minion wave collision in the side lanes occurred around 1:50.

This side lane early jungle invade strategy is built upon this 10-second time difference.

As long as the clear is fast enough, one can lose only one or two minions.

The experience from one jungle monster camp equals that of one minion wave.

Clearing one jungle monster camp at the start is equivalent to having the experience of four or five minion waves upon returning to lane.

…………

"Wait, I feel like I can catch them off guard with one move."

Wuzi controlled Piltover's Caitlyn, and while returning to lane, suddenly turned around and fired a shot that hit Lucian.

At this moment, the first minion wave in bot lane had already collided; after disrupting the enemy's jungle invade, the two didn't return via the original path through the Triangle Brush, but instead took a shortcut from in front of the enemy turret back to lane.

This led to this skirmish.

Being bullied in front of the turret, Lucian naturally wasn't having it and immediately launched a counterattack.

However, before his attack motion could even lift his hand, Caitlyn had already turned and walked out of his range, causing Lucian's basic attack to be canceled.

Pa!

SUP's ADC hadn't even reacted yet when Caitlyn's second bullet also hit him.

Lucian stepped forward again, but this time he still couldn't land an auto-attack.

Caitlyn turned her head again!

Lucian got his basic attack canceled twice in a row, also took a Tongue Lash from Tahm Kench, and thus ended up eating Caitlyn's next Headshot.

Before even returning to lane, he already lost half his health!

The crowd erupted in incredulous gasps; Wuzi had the enemy ADC completely under his control.

"Awesome."

Xu Dongmen, who was farming red buff at the moment, saw this scene and couldn't help but become a fan of this little fatty.

Although Xu Dongmen is a jungler, if you give him heroes like Vayne and Lucian to play, he can operate them.

The only hero he truly cannot play is Caitlyn.

This is a hero that heavily relies on range control, most testing ADC skill; without solid fundamentals, it's basically unplayable.

What is the most basic quality of an ADC?

Undoubtedly, it's the control of attack range!

In this aspect, UZI claims to be second, and few in the world dare to claim first.

Even on the professional stage, AD players often just keep auto-attacking and auto-attacking until they auto-attack into the enemy's face, then instantly die.

This situation rarely happens to Wuzi; the red-faced little fatty always manages to output from extreme positions, leaving opponents unable to grab his hem.

Taking this game as an example, even if he hasn't touched Caitlyn in half a year, as soon as he picks her up, he can immediately unleash her range advantage, using attack range control to kite opponents.

What is talent!

"If I remember correctly, Lucian's range in this version is still 550, which isn't short."

"This truly cannot be learned."

Xu Dongmen finished clearing the red buff and arrived at F4, then passed through mid-lane and directly landed a Sonic Wave hit on the Azure Blue Carved Magic Construct.

In this game, he is playing Lee Sin.

Originally, the plan was to speed 3 to bottom lane to find an opportunity and put pressure on the enemy bottom lane.

But Wuzi from the start beat the enemy so badly they had no spirit, until the second wave of minions arrived online, SUP bottom lane could come online, and even the experience from the first four minions wasn't gained.

Bottom lane is already blown up; even if the enemy jungler comes to gank, it would be a 2v3 situation.

In this game, SUP first picked Graves for jungling, and this situation is not something Graves can salvage.

Since bottom lane doesn't need help, then help other lanes.

"Ying Bi Ge, any chance?"

Xu Dongmen, while eating Scuttle Crab, glanced toward mid-lane.

Doinb in this game is playing Ryze, and his opponent is the Ice Woman.

It must be said that this game's BP is very interesting; in this version where Ryze is non-ban must-pick, both sides aren't afraid of the enemy picking Ryze, and after releasing it, the blue side SUP didn't even have a first pick, clearly showing disdain for Da B.

"There's a chance, there's a chance, I'm just one minion away from level 3, come on you come on!"

Doinb actively responded.

He still feels a bit weak playing Ryze, and would love for the jungler to come gank.

"Soon, hold your skill."

Xu Dongmen finished clearing the Scuttle Crab and rushed straight to mid-lane.

At this time, it's just over three minutes; Graves should still not have finished taking both buffs, so we can pull off a quick slash to cut through the chaos in mid-lane.

"Three layers, the passive is coming up soon!"

Doinb's voice is very loud.

"Hit him!"

While Xu Dongmen was speaking, he had already arrived near the grass patch by mid-lane.

Da B was very decisive, flashing and casting W【Rune Prison】to immobilize Lissandra, while simultaneously releasing an Arcane Mastery orb, the transparent orb bouncing back and forth between the Ice Woman and minions.

Buzz~

Ryze gained a blue shield on his body, passive stacked to five layers.

"Control yourself, dominate the enemy."

Xu Dongmen narrowed his eyes to close the distance, landing a Sonic Wave hit on Lissandra.

He didn't rush to activate Resonating Strike, but instead continued forward one step, auto-attacking Lissandra to trigger the Red Buff slow.

Until the Frost Ring control ended, then he performed a second Q kick to slam down and hit the ground.

SUP mid-lane exchanged a Death Flash!

"Haha, the enemy is nervous."

Xu Dongmen secured first blood.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes on stage, the red totem appeared once again.

On the bottom lane side, UZI's domination of the opponent continues, the advantage so huge that jungler help is fundamentally unnecessary.

Tiancaimori has already started regretting: "If I had known, I would have picked Bard or Thresh, directly making the enemy unable to lane."

Tahm Kench also has his own strengths; even if pressured extremely hard, he's not afraid of being engaged.

From level 3 onward, Wuzi has been standing under the enemy defense tower playing.

Thanks to his exquisite distance control and practiced walk-auto-attack rhythm, he made the two SUP bottom lane players feel painfully tormented.

Not only last-hitting, even level and experience are completely ruined.

【Wuzi!!】

【New viewers aren't always asking why the little dog is called the world's first ADC? Watch this match】

【After all, Wuzi had no achievements all last year, professional players still look at honors】

【Hard to imagine, this kind of AD only got his first championship in his fourth year】

【No way, LCK overall is too strong, the difficulty for Chinese players to realize their talent is N times that of Korean players】

【This year LCK really isn't that strong, I watched SKT's two games today, feeling it's just so-so】

【Hehe, another year with the most opportunity, right?】

【Play an external card, caused a mess】

【Don't argue, I'm here to learn technique, nothing else to say, UZI's Caitlyn is truly pleasing to the eye】

【Absolutely not worse than that North American ADC!】

…………

"Little dog, you don't know how to do EQA?"

"What's EQA?"

"It's just, press E, then Q, then click on a person—this way you can deal an extra Q's damage."

"Huh? You can actually do that?"

UZI's sudden realization made Xu Dongmen confirm that this guy really didn't know.

It seems not only him—during the previous match against CLG, I didn't see Stixxay use it either?

Thinking about it, it makes sense: alongside male gunner and plane marksmen, the female sniper received a minor rework in the S6 preseason half a year ago.

The current headshot interaction method and the charge-based trap system were both newly added in this overhaul.

Before S6, the female sniper's traps couldn't trigger headshots, let alone double distance— the 90mm rope net was just a pure escape skill...

"Holy shit, really?!"

Stain learned and applied it on the spot, landing an EQA combo on Bobby.

The blushing little fatty was amazed!

Although he hasn't played the female sniper in half a year, he's encountered her in ranked matches before—but he's never seen anyone play her like this.

What a slick move!

Not just slick, but also very practical!

"Dongmen, how did you know you could play like this? So awesome, bro!"

Given UZI's years of gaming experience, he naturally knows how significant this combo is for the female sniper—damage output instantly jumped a tier.

"Uh... this is just a very basic combo, the most fundamental one."

Xu Dongmen spoke honestly.

"Holy crap, really or fake? Then teach me another one!" Stain's blood boiled with excitement.

"Try EWA?"

"Ah, what's that?"

「…………」

Xu Dongmen never imagined that one day he'd be teaching Stain how to play the female sniper—especially on an international stage.
