Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 133 The key to breaking the situation!
Rw paid a heavy price for their strong team fights in the mid-game.

Syndra, Lee Sin, and Varus in the bot lane all farmed extremely well.

Top laner A Guang's weapon was also threatened by Xiao Tian's early gank and kill, so he played very cautiously against Letme's Camille, and was suppressed by a lot of last hits and experience.

If Rw cannot execute a perfect team fight with this lineup in the mid-game, their so-called mid-game lineup advantage is nothing but wishful thinking.

"Uzi is so steady, not at all like the guy Mingkai described who's willing to die if he dares to gank."

Starting from this wave in the bottom lane, Haro completely abandoned vision in the upper jungle to protect vision in the bottom jungle and MaGe's development.

However, Uzi's aggressive play in several waves created opportunities that others would have seized, but these opportunities ultimately came to nothing with each subsequent failure.

Too fierce!
Too safe?
The longer Haro spent roaming around the bottom lane, the more pronounced this strange feeling became.

Did Uzi cheat in S7? Holy crap, are you on steroids this season? Are you that strong?

This kind of precognitive ability and the power to suppress one's limits cannot be achieved through hard work alone; it requires extraordinary talent that cannot be learned by others.

Just like TheShy in S8, Uzi has become an unstoppable force in the bot lane in a sense.

"But no matter how strong you are, you can't possibly turn the tables in a 2v5 situation!"

S9fpx's true 4-man 2-man gank is finally about to show its fangs.

Thanks to Doinb's alertness, Karma, at level 8, seized a good opportunity.

While Syndra and Lee Sin were taking the Rift Herald in the top lane, they did the opposite and sent A-Guang back to base to replenish his health and mana, while also teleporting to the ward in the bottom lane.

There are also many techniques involved in releasing the Rift Herald.

If the Rift Herald is placed on the safe lane, it can easily take down towers, and in solo queue games, it may even push directly to the high ground.

Therefore, after securing the Rift Herald, the first thing to consider is whether your side has a lane with a significant advantage.

However, when considering the advantage lane, it's best to focus on the top lane, because there's only one enemy there. You can coordinate with your teammates to kill them first before releasing the Rift Herald, and the enemy's teammates won't be able to come to your aid as quickly.

The best way to release the advantage lane is to first take down the first tower yourself. This way, when the Rift Herald is released, you can directly attack the second tower. If the enemy's defense is not in place in time, it is not impossible to take down the high ground tower as well.

If the enemy's other teammates come to support, then there will definitely be gaps in their lane's towers, giving your teammates a chance to take them.

If the advantageous lane is not in the top lane, you can choose to have your teammates group up and engage in a team fight.

If the enemy reacts slowly, it is easy to destroy more than one tower. Moreover, the advantage of this grouped push is that if the enemy's combat strength is not strong at this time, it is easy to rush directly to the high ground as long as the opportunity is seized.

Of course, if the enemy is strong, then grouping up and taking down one tower is enough.

However, in actual gameplay, the release of the Rift Herald requires even more skill.

The reason RNG wanted to take the Rift Herald was that if they could push down Karma's mid lane or Jax's top lane, they could immediately gain an advantage.

Karma, as a mid-laner, doesn't rely too much on the mid-lane tower for survival, but if the opponent picks heroes with weak wave clear and strong roaming abilities, she'll have a tough time.

If they leave, the mid lane will push into the second tower, resulting in an even greater loss.

The same applies to the top lane. Jax's early and mid-game development ability is extremely weak, and without the top lane tower, he can easily push too far into the lane due to the passive of his R skill. At this time, the combination of Camille and Lee Sin can easily kill Jax.

Donib clearly knew that the situation was now irreconcilable, so he wanted to make a desperate trade.

They caught RNG's bot lane duo and took down the bottom tower. At this point, the more mobile bot lane duo went to the top lane, while the Jax went to the lane with the bottom tower to continue farming and wait for the mid-game team fight. Their plan was excellent, and their execution even better. A five-man gank at this stage is beyond what mere mechanics can solve.

The moment the weapon landed, Karma activated RE for the entire team to accelerate, and walked straight out of the bushes under the red team's Gromp, together with the Prince.

The five players quickly assembled and formed a pincer movement. Letme, who was on the top lane, originally wanted to teleport, but he had no choice but to give up at Li Luo's request.

To change the emperor's habits, we must do it every time from the very beginning of the change.

The prince unleashed a flurry of EQ combos, followed by the weapon's EQ skills. Braum also managed to unleash his R skill in time. Although Xiaoming's Tahm Kench nimbly swallowed Varus during the first wave of crowd control.

However, the continuous control and subsequent efforts still added two more deaths to RNG's scoreboard.

Li Luo had no room to maneuver and could only use his QE skills to finish off the minions that had entered the tower before he died.

Rw's reckless 5-man gank on the second lane successfully achieved its initial plan, but it also came at a cost. RNG took down the top lane tower first, and with the help of the Rift Herald, the mid lane tower was also destroyed.

One bottom lane outer turret plus two kills traded for two outer turrets.

"Rw didn't really lose out this time. It's just that Rw made a good decision and turned the tide in a losing situation," Miller said.

"It's obvious Rw is sending their bot lane duo to rotate back to top lane to defend, while Jax is staying put, and Haro has also given Jax the bottom half of the jungle. This Jax is about to take off."

In fact, Doinb's tactical system was already quite mature by the time of S8, and it could be perfectly adapted to different players.

RNG isn't afraid of reckless players who want to fight head-on. If they were facing IG instead of Rw today, Li Luo would be 100% confident that they could end the game in the mid-game.

However, when facing teams like Rw, who know how to exchange benefits and make choices, it becomes very difficult to play against them.

With the weapons gaining a significant economic advantage, Letme's Camille became harder to suppress, and Karma's mobility and Jarvan IV's synergy finally showed their strength. For a time, Rw's economy even caught up.

With Rw's lineup, catching up in terms of economy means that RNG has already fallen into a disadvantage in the mid-game.

Based on Li Luo's experience, the win rate in this game did indeed gradually shift towards Rw's side over time. As a lineup that focuses on mid-game power, as long as they don't fall behind in the early game, it's basically a 70/30 situation.

Doinb's mindless roaming and ability to seize opportunities, coupled with Haro's obedient jungler, resulted in RNG being caught out of their well-prepared vision in many situations.

前期0-0-1的卡密尔，短短五分钟时间，就变成了0-2。

Furthermore, a fully developed weapon is beyond Camille's control. If the two meet in a single lane, the weapon will dare to go straight for a 1v1 fight.

However, Li Luo, who came from the future, knew exactly what the drawbacks of this operational strategy were!
A strong team synergy may seem impressive on the outside, but it's actually rotten inside. Under such synergy, individual abilities are greatly diminished, and tactical execution becomes the more important factor.

However, if an opportunity arises that requires individual skill to execute, this collaborative effort can be instantly shattered.

Coincidentally, having inherited the puppy's abilities, Li Luo now possesses the skill to directly eliminate Rw's hopes through skillful maneuvering.

My period of dominance is coming.

With Karma and Jarvan IV already in the meta, along with top lane Jax and support Braum, the poke strategy is no longer effective.

Li Luo also abandoned the armor penetration poke build and started building attack speed items, specifically AP attack speed items, which are rarely seen on Varus in matches!

Only those who have played AP Varus know just how terrifying his damage is.
