Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 177 It's time to catch TheShy!

As soon as Gnar passes the top lane tower that has already fallen, you should immediately start to be on edge.

Logically, in this situation, the support Morgana should immediately switch to the top lane to protect TheShy's development.

Unfortunately, this vampire was quite well-developed, and with the level advantage, once Morgana left, the policewoman could easily be killed by the vampire in a one-on-one fight.

Even Rookie in the mid lane was completely shut down in the mid lane at this time.

If you want to gank the bottom or top lane, the prerequisite is that the minion wave can't be pushed forward. Otherwise, if the minion wave gets into the tower and you're not there, there will definitely be a big problem.

A single first kill triggered a terrifying chain reaction, which, within just three minutes, directly translated into an economic deficit of over 2500 gold.

Even compared to some teams that get Baron Nashor, the economic gains are significantly higher.

And IG in S9 proved one thing: if even one person in a team is bad, throws the game, or sleepwalks, then that team will never go all the way.

The fall of IG's top lane tower gave Li Luo a glimpse into the direction of this game.

Catch TheShy!

Countless teams in later generations have proven that as long as they relentlessly target TheShy, they can continuously increase their win rate, and Li Luo certainly knows this now as well.

Gnar has mobility and decent escape ability while also being tanky.

However, losing the first tower means that Gnar's escape route will be extended indefinitely, and the chances of catching Gnar will greatly increase.

After acquiring Blade of the Ruined King and Berserker's Greaves, Ashe gains the ability to stick to targets and secure kills, and her combat power in the early to mid-game is essentially complete.

"Move the top lane, then attack the next wave of minions!"

After giving a command, Li Luo watched as Xiang Guo stealthily circled the wall and stuck to it. He then pretended to have finished clearing the lane with Hama and headed down, leaving Rookie's sight.

Whether or not we can catch Shy depends on whether Shy gives us a chance.

Although he dared not cross the river, Gnar had no problem clearing out the minions at the first tower.

Confidence is something The Shy never lacks.

Even when facing Xiaohu's wandering mid lane, he was eager to try and find an opportunity to trade blows, attempting to solo kill Xiaohu.

Seeing that Xiangguo was already in position on the Explosive Fruit after the Red Buff, Xiaoming immediately activated his ultimate skill, teleporting everyone together.

Their destination was behind the top lane's first tower. After a series of croaking frog sounds, the two landed behind Gnar.

Olaf also knocked away the Blast Fruit and emerged from the bushes next to the Stone Golem.

With no vision in the top lane and RNG's support speed too fast, Gnar, who was almost at full health, saw Ryze charging towards him and naturally had no reason to run away.

However, TheShy was dumbfounded the next second. Three people appeared out of nowhere from behind and surrounded him without leaving a trace.

Olaf initiated a melee with Gnar, and the moment Olaf landed a Reverse Strike (Q) on Gnar, Gnar's death was sealed.

Even though the crows and Sejuani quickly came to their aid, they were still far inferior to Toad's driving skills.

RNG.Uzi killed IG.TheShy.
This kill was ultimately given to Ashe to extend RNG's dual-carry advantage.

"666"

"Strong!"

".."

Compared to this brilliant move, the comments from viewers in the live chat seemed rather weak and ineffective.

This situation has occurred countless times during the Spring Split, with many teams suffering greatly from RNG's rapid support tactics.

From initial shock to current numbness, every RNG fan is experiencing both pain and joy.

Catching TheShy is quite unusual at this point in time.

But this wave also gave other team coaches watching on screens a glimmer of hope, seemingly finding a way to counter IG. The top laner's death, like the first blood, triggered a chain reaction.

The four players gathered together, attempting to push down the top lane's second tower. As a result, Sejuani and Swain had to come to the tower to defend against RNG's push.

Even the commentators could see it clearly: RNG was playing an unconventional global style, and IG certainly knew that too.

However, there was nothing that could be done.

Seeing RNG's four members board the Wandering Vehicle again and fly directly to the mid lane to begin invading the mid lane tower, IG's clumsy lineup finally reaped the bitter fruit.

operate?

That's unrealistic. In matches between strong teams, it's never about individual skill. You can see that from SKT in S7. Teamwork is the ultimate goal for every team.

Individual strength can only last for a time, not for a lifetime.

"Defend the mid lane and let Rookie farm in the bottom lane. If Swain can't get ahead, we're doomed."

Prince Ning said calmly.

"Give the bottom jungle and minion waves to Swain, let him farm. Only if Swain can hold his ground will we have a chance to win team fights."

In this version, the hero Swain has the ability to create miracles once he has the Rift Herald, Zhonya's Hourglass, and other core items.

Especially the opposing team's two carries, both of whom are heroes with sustained damage output but no burst damage.

If they can't kill the crow by focusing fire immediately, IG's lineup is perfectly capable of winning.

Once the crow gets a foothold in the crowd, its terrifying R lifesteal, Q AoE, and passive crowd control can create a so-called "miracle team fight."

But if Swain's economy collapses and he gets instantly killed upon entering the game, like Doinb's Swain before, then he can only hope for the next game.

IG's decision to go on a 15-game winning streak was absolutely correct.

With Swain going to the bottom lane to farm, Caitlyn in the mid lane, together with Morgana, barely managed to hold off RNG's attack and protect the second mid-lane tower.

However, IG underestimated the power of this lineup that Chris had carefully arranged.

Or perhaps they placed too much trust in IG's individual laning skills and abilities, neglecting to prioritize lane rotations and support.

As soon as Gnar shows his face, RNG's players immediately move towards him.

"West Eight"

Even the gentle and easy-going Shy teacher became a member of the West Eight. Looking at his 0-4 score, a chill ran down his spine.

After catching TheShy, RNG grouped up and pushed the top lane. Faced with the aggressive onslaught, IG had no chance to fight back.

Even the policewoman and Morgana couldn't clear the line.

Why should mid-lane mages be categorized as wave-clearing mages? There's a crucial prerequisite for wave clearing: you must at least be able to touch the minion wave.

With IG's current lineup, as long as Ryze and Olaf are eager to engage in the front, once Morgana's shield is used, IG will have to retreat immediately, otherwise they will face RNG's initiation tactics.

With the second tower on the top lane destroyed, the economic advantage reached 7500 at the 19-minute mark.

After TheShy was completely shut down, IG's collapse seemed to come even faster than expected.

It seems that IG is truly facing a slow death.

The Vladimir, who farms alongside Rookie, is getting better and better, and his threat in team fights is not much less than that of Swain.

All three outer turrets were destroyed, and the second turrets in the mid and top lanes were breached. IG completely lost vision of Baron Nashor and the upper jungle, further compressing their development space.

As long as RNG continues to use the 131 combo they've been playing this season, IG will be powerless to fight back.
