Chapter 108 A Bad Premonition
Top Esports players' bench.
Maokai's brow has been furrowed ever since JD.com's roster was finalized.
Redmi's "double-harvest" lineup was clearly beyond his expectations.
Unable to think of anything for a moment, he turned his gaze toward Chen Xiao.
"If you're playing a clockwork character, what champion would you play to absolutely secure lane control?"
Faced with Maokai's question, Chen Xiao fell into thought—
This scene was projected onto the big screen by the director, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments.
Lucifer is in a dilemma!
JD Gaming's lineup caught Top Esports completely off guard!
[Isn't this double-damage composition a bit creative? It looks like a dream team fight!]
[Foygo collects the soul, then Jinx runs!]
I wonder how Top Esports will respond. I feel like they can't let JD.com drag this out until the later stages!
【————】
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, then slowly moved the mouse and stopped on Ahri.
"If we're going to play Orianna, let's pick Ahri this game."
Maokai stroked his stubble, looking suspicious. "You—you're not planning on disciplining me with both hands, are you?"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, it's just that Ahri has an advantage in lane against Orianna, and this champion is also better at supporting the jungle."
After the first two matches, he was very clear about it.
He must take on more responsibility if he wants to win the game.
Therefore, you can no longer play scaling champions like Azir and Taliyah.
We must start doing things from the very beginning!
"Then let's go with Ahri."
"Ahri! Lucifer picked Ahri in the last pick!"
"Using Ahri to counter Orianna is indeed a good choice. She has an advantage in pushing lanes, and her ultimate's mobility can effectively avoid Orianna's strong engages!"
"Judging from his performance in the first two matches, Lucifer is definitely in good form today, holding his own against Toothpaste!"
Guan Zeyuan's gaze fell on Chen Xiao's calm face, and he had a strange intuition.
This young player, who is making his first playoff appearance, could very well be the key player in this best-of-five series.
Just like the first time!
"JD.com has pulled out all the stops for this match; it looks like they're going to take the match point in one fell swoop!"
"Kanavi's jungle carry play is really something; he dares to pick it even against the meta. I only feel confident in dominating him when I get Kindred!"
"Top Esports' performance in the first two games has already exposed their weaknesses; their tactical reserves are not as good as JD Gaming's!"
"Lucifer actually performed the best—I told you Guo Hao is really good at drawing cards!"

Everyone continued to express their opinions on the match.
""
:
They already consider today's winner as their opponent in the next round.
As for NIP—that should be left to the coaching staff to study.
They're only good at flexing their muscles!
A live streaming room on a certain platform.
Prince Ning beamed with pride, as if his intelligence had once again taken over the high ground.
"Did you guys see that? I told you Top Esports would lose to JD Gaming today."
"There's still a significant gap in strength!"
"Regular season? How can the regular season and the playoffs be the same? They're completely different things!"
"What do you mean I don't support my old teammates? Even if Ah Shui performs well, he can't carry the burden!"
"6
""
After repeatedly failing to make predictions, Prince Ning became a complete black mark.
They didn't care about the feelings of the veteran players; they just wanted to see Top Esports lose once.
:
He glanced at the comments and frowned.
"The lackeys of the 'horse-headed broiler chicken'—what does it mean to shut up after retirement?"
"I haven't retired—I just can't find a team that wants me!"

""
On the other side, Chu Jun Aike looked at the lineups of both sides and said with a confident tone.
"JD.com's lineup looks fantastic, but it carries huge risks!"
"For a double kill streak to be successful, Renekton and Orianna must be effective!"
"I can't say for sure about Flandre, but Yagao definitely won't get an advantage in the mid lane."
Faced with the questions raised in the live chat, he did not explain, but simply smiled.
"For a player who ranks first in average CS and CS advantage, second in average damage output, and third in damage conversion rate, it's almost impossible to lose lane control once they get a winning hero."
After a brief loading period, the game officially began.
:
There is still no first-tier team design.
The two sides are "facing each other across the river".
"Both sides are playing very steadily; there weren't any particularly special strategies in the early stages of all three games!"
"That's how it is when strong teams clash; one wrong move and you're out!"
'
,
One and a half.
Chen Xiao followed the minions online.
Don't rush to fight the toothpaste player at level one; deal with the minion wave first!
Clockwerk has a passive that increases basic attack damage at level 1, so trading blows is a bad idea.
After the first two matches, Toothpaste played very cautiously in this one as well.
He had a clearer assessment of Chen Xiao's abilities.
"This kid's skills and reactions are truly enviable—it reminds me of the legendary K-King back in the day."
Kanavi disagrees with this assessment of the toothpaste.
But he didn't directly refute it; he simply said...
"Then I'll continue to play mid more this game. Since it's like Knight back in the day, let's give him the 'treatment' of a top-tier mid laner!"
"Achoo—who's thinking of me?"
Chen Xiao suddenly sneezed, causing his Q skill to miss.
"Could it be that he caught a cold from being directly exposed to the air conditioning last night?"
While playing cat and mouse with the toothpaste, he switched his view to the bottom lane.
The moment the switch was made, something happened!
Ruler, taking advantage of Jinx's cannon form's extremely long range, managed to land two hits on Ah Shui.
After Missing finished crouching in the bushes, she found a perfect opportunity!
The hook hit Luo squarely!
Meiko activated W to try and counterattack, but Ruler dodged it with a backstep.
Immediately switch to machine gun mode and start firing!
The passive attack speed, combined with Lethal Tempo, quickly begins to stack.
Combined with the damage from the minions, Luo's health dropped rapidly!
Level 1 is not the power spike for the Xayah and Rakan duo, so Meiko had to use Flash.
Pay the price for your recklessness!
"Damn, those two idiots in the enemy bot lane have gotten so confident. They can even dodge that with positioning!"
Meiko was filled with regret, but there was nothing she could do.
With only half his health remaining, he was forced to use Flash.
It's practically impossible for them to get second place.
The chain reaction forced Ah Shui to retreat as well, which only made matters worse.
Chen Xiao's left eye twitched violently as he kept switching screens to watch the entire battle.
I had a bad feeling again.
Half a minute later, 369's wailing started playing in the headphones again.
"Damn, Holy Gun Bro has no sportsmanship!"
"You promised a real man's 1v1 battle, how could you call in reinforcements?"
The camera pans across the scene, revealing 369's excavator being chased and brutally beaten by the crocodile and the Ruined King.
All they could do was use Flash to escape.
Backstage.
Maokai was so angry when he saw this that he almost flew into a rage.
"I told them to be more composed, more composed—they didn't listen to a word!"
The start, which seemed to be exactly the same as the previous two games, made him uneasy.
Will we be at a huge disadvantage in the early game as well?
Just as Maokai sighed helplessly, exclamations suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Middle lane! Chen Xiao!"
Maokai quickly looked up at the big screen.
The fox, which had just reached level 2, suddenly launched an attack.
A seductive charm, seemingly from a tricky angle, suddenly pierced through the gap between the minions—a precise hit to the clockwork behind!
