Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 132 The Genius Who Suppressed an Era
"Have we been seduced and tricked?"

Liu Qingsong was stunned for a while before awkwardly saying.

"This Varus's damage is too high! What secondary runes did he choose? Holy crap, he chose red runes!"

Since Brother Ma died, he's always had a sour face, and now he finally understands.

Why did RNG abandon their previous strategy of immediately teleporting to protect the bot lane in every fight, or having the mid and jungle players move towards the bot lane before Uzi dared to engage in fights?

This guy's individual skill level and his teamwork with Xiaoming are just too strong right now.

The skill set is interspersed with a normal rhythm, and the repeated back-and-forth trading of health by taking advantage of the 50-point range advantage in lane, along with the details of last-hitting and positioning, make every mouse click an extremely threatening operation.

If you can rely on experience to judge whether your opponent will go top or bottom when laning against a regular AD carry, then Uzi has now truly reached the ceiling of the AD carry position, making him unpredictable.

"Don't rush, don't rush, let's wait until the mid-game when we can fight back. Our mid-game lineup is stronger than theirs."

Although Doinb was in the mid lane, he kept switching to the bottom lane during the fight, and he even remembered the bottom lane's summoner spells perfectly.

Speaking with a heavy Xinjiang accent, Donib could only offer words of comfort to his teammates.

By Season 8, having served as the director of the orphanage for many years, he was all too familiar with this situation. If he were to make a few criticisms, the bot lane would likely break down.

In the mid lane, Karma's wave clear ability, combined with her short-cooldown Q skill, allows her to continuously push the backline minions, giving her an advantage over some ordinary assassin mid laners or mid laners with weak wave clear.

The problem is that Xiaohu picked Syndra today, a champion whose wave clear ability is too strong, making it impossible for him to leave even if he wanted to.

Moreover, an intuition told him that Tian's blind man was lurking around Xiaohu, ready to attack him at any moment, as evidenced by Syndra's aggressive positioning.

If Karma activates her ultimate (R) to amplify her Q's wave clear, and if Lee Sin is nearby, Syndra will have to use Flash at the very least if she pushes him.

Therefore, in reality, Doinb's mid lane was completely dominated by Xiaohu.

Although the difference in last hits was only a few, it was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that Xiaohu would be able to solo kill as soon as he reached level 6.

"I'm here. Xiao Tian can head down the road now."

After Syndra pushed the lane at level 5, she went back to base to replenish her health, mana, and items before returning to the mid lane.

With a series of skillful skill releases, he cleared the minion wave and reached level 6, then headed to the bottom lane right in front of Doinb's Karma.

Doinb immediately pinged Haro to signal him to engage in a 4v4 team fight in the bottom lane. As for the two players in the top lane, they had both used their teleports during the early trades and were temporarily unable to come down.

Haro didn't gank, but his level caught up, almost reaching level 5.

When Doinb pinged, MaGe and LiuQingsong in the bottom lane had no choice but to retreat.
But a problem arose.

Because Syndra and Lee Sin moved first, RNG on the red side had already positioned themselves in the bottom lane, with wards and positioning already in place.

The blue side Rw's lower jungle, which was already occupied by Xiaotian, had no vision, forcing Doinb and Haro to go around it.

"This"

Doinb finally figured out RNG's intentions.

At level one, they forcefully invaded the lower jungle, compressing Haro's jungle space and securing vision control of their own blue side jungle, preparing for the later stages.

The second step is to leverage Syndra's power spike at level 6, combined with Lee Sin's early-game buffs and experience, to create a strong mid-jungle synergy.

The threat eroded the bottom lane's survival space, further helping Uzi's bottom lane gain an advantage, forcing Rw's bottom lane to slowly die, becoming weaker with each wave.

Because RNG's mid and jungle players initiated the fight, even though the minion wave hadn't reached the tower yet, MaGe and Liu Qingsong had to stand back under the tower. Even though Liu Qingsong placed a control ward in the tri-bush, it was immediately destroyed by the level 5 Lee Sin.

Upon opening it, one discovers that the incredibly wealthy blind man also possesses two real eyes.

no way.

Rw focused their bans on ADCs, which allowed RNG's mid, top, and jungle to get strong champions. Except for Uzi, who couldn't pick a meta champion, Xiaohu and Tian both got their signature champions.

Rw first picked Kalista, then Shen was banned, so they had to pick Braum instead.

However, the combination of Kalista and Braum is unstable in the early game in terms of mobility, damage, and control.

Therefore, Rw's mid and jungle players must come up with a stable team fight combination in the mid-game: Karma and Jarvan IV. Jarvan IV provides initiation and crowd control, while Karma provides survivability and protection, which is perfect.

The strategy of relying on the synergy between the mid and jungle to drive the pace of the top or bottom lane is also the future playstyle of S9FPX.

However, in S8, this system was still a bit raw, and Haro didn't have the ability to reach his peak right from the start like Tian. Once Rw faced strong teams, this weakness would be magnified without limit.

RNG clearly took advantage of the situation and didn't let it go.

Seeing that the bottom lane was difficult to gank, Xiaotian's Lee Sin kicked the dragon and immediately chose to start the first fire dragon. At this time, the dragon was not like the elemental dragon that was later changed to collect dragon souls.

Now the competition is more about key dragons, such as the most popular fire dragons and earth dragons in the game.

With a mournful cry from Xiaolong, the mid and jungle players who had taken down Xiaolong returned to their lanes satisfied. In the bottom lane, thanks to Li Luo's lane control, Laozei also lost at least a wave of minions.

Games like League of Legends (LOL) largely limit individual skill and rely more on tactics and teamwork.

In other MOBA games, such as Dota, skilled players can indeed 1v5. Many pro players use smurf accounts to smurf in lower-ranked games, choosing heroes like Invoker, and with a series of maneuvers, newbies are already dead before they even understand what's happening.

This is also the biggest reason why games like Dota are not friendly to newcomers.

In contrast, in LoL, even if you are very skilled, in professional matches, if the opposing top laner insists on playing defensively, even if you are a top player in your position, it is difficult to completely dominate the opponent and extend the advantage to other lanes without the help of your teammates.

Li Luo now feels that he has reached the ceiling of the bottom lane.

To maintain the team's winning streak, it's no longer enough to rely solely on individual skill to turn the tide. To raise RNG's ceiling, they need to continuously motivate their teammates and coaches.

By leveraging their superior skills, they gained an advantage from the very beginning of the draft phase and tactical decisions, thereby increasing their winning percentage throughout the game.

Varus and Tahm Kench are now firmly controlling the lane, and Kalista and Braum, who are behind in level, are even less able to get ahead and farm.

Furthermore, the gap in last-hitting and experience is widening continuously.

"How did he become so strong?"

Ma Ge's lower lip had been bitten raw without him even realizing it, and blood seeped through the edges of his lips, making him look eerie and dangerous.

The greatest fear of a genius of an era is encountering a genius even stronger than himself.

Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born as well?

When faced with a genius who has dominated their field for a lifetime, all that remains is endless sorrow and resentment.

"Truly delightful." Brother Ma licked his lips, savoring the metallic taste in his mouth, yet a strange smile appeared on his face; "Feeling quite pleased~"

Those who can be defeated by setbacks are always mediocre. It is because predecessors have illuminated the way forward that successors continue to strive and make progress.
