In the jungle, Peanut's Zac was being chased and attacked by Mantis.

Moreover, this Mantis has a red BUFF, and Zakara can't keep away.

In the KZ lounge, CUZZ said, "See? Peanut didn't even set up vision ahead of time to prevent the enemy from invading. This proves that he didn't even think about it."

"He can get good data in LPL, which is entirely due to his strength in the mid and top lanes. Once this is unreliable, he will be very vulnerable."

At this moment, Zac's passive was activated, and Peanut didn't use his flash because Mantis still had E, so there was no point in using his flash.

"Karma on the opposite side went over first." Li Xianghe reminded.

He was heading towards the jungle, but because he didn't have lane control at the beginning, he set off a little late.

Wang Duoduo commented: "It seems that Zac is going to be killed by a single person this time! Wait a minute, Kalista has arrived, so fast, Kalista starts to attack Mantis."

"Mantis is trying to knock out the last piece of Zac's passive, TP! Someone TPs, Ryze uses TP to save this lone seedling, Zac successfully resurrects, Mantis jumps up, Zac uses flash to run away, Mantis flashes to catch up, and gets the kill!"

Remember to answer, "Although he was killed, Mantis's position was awkward, and Kalista was coming! Mantis had no skills now, and was chased and beaten by Kalista! Karma gave Mantis a shield, but it was useless, Kalista's damage output was too high!"

As everyone was talking, Mantis's health reached the bottom, and Kalista used her E skill to take down Mantis.

Wang Duoduo explained: "This time...why didn't Gnar come over?"

The director gave a close-up of Gary, and everyone discovered that Gary was last-hitting under the defensive tower. At this time, Gary had less than half of his health, and at the same time, there were many soldiers under the defensive tower.

I remember the commentator said: "Then this wave of feeling is understandable. With so many soldiers, if Gnar forced to come over to support, even if he can protect Mantis, he will explode. This wave of invasion is indeed a good idea, but it did not take into account the disadvantage of the laning in the top lane."

After watching this wave of invasion, everyone in KZ started discussing.

CUZZ said: "There is nothing wrong with the invasion itself, but their top laner's individual ability is not good enough, which has affected the jungler. I can only say that their top laner is too bad."

Rascal agreed, "It does seem so. Does it prove that our idea is feasible?"

CUZZ responded: "It depends on your performance on the road then."

The game was still going on. Chen Yi Qiu got a kill and returned to the top lane with the red BUFF, making it impossible for the opponent's Gary to play.

With four and a half minutes left in the game, Gnar had to return to the city for supplies and use his TP.

As soon as Gnar used his TP in the top lane, Chen Yi Qiu arranged for his teammates to cross the tower in the bottom lane. He chose to TP to support them, and with four against two, both of the two opponents in the bottom lane died under the tower.

Wang Duoduo commented: "This familiar feeling comes back. Facing a team like Top Esports, once your top lane is breached, the disadvantage will soon spread to all other lanes."

Remember agreed: "Yes, now Mantis is still playing jungle invasion, but it feels like my teammates are going to explode."

After Xiaohuasheng and his teammates crossed the tower in the bottom lane, he returned to the jungle and wanted to kill some wild monsters. However, he found that Mantis was already waiting in the jungle. As soon as he went over, Mantis attacked him directly.

"Xiba, here again?" Peanut felt disgusted, but he had no choice. He used the E skill to fly over, and now he had no skills left.

So Peanut was killed by Mantis again!

Li Xianghe reminded: "I think the opponent's jungler has figured out your jungle clearing ideas. You need to build some vision and change your jungle clearing route."

Peanut muttered, "It seems that this is the only way."

This situation is not uncommon in the game. You can study the opponent jungler's jungle route in advance. As long as you have enough research information, you can still figure it out, and then arrange the routine accordingly.

However, Xiaohuasheng has hardly ever encountered a similar situation, because he has the mid and top players to help him attract firepower, and usually the mid and top players are the ones targeted.

Seven minutes into the game, Peanut's Zac came to the top lane and cooperated with Chen Yiqiu to cross the tower.

Xiaohuasheng's Zac used his E skill to enter the defensive tower. The opponent's Gnar flashed to avoid it, but his retreat had been cut off. Zac Q'd Gnar, then Q'd the soldier, pulling the two together. Chen Yiqiu's Kalista stepped forward to output and got the kill.

At this moment, Mantis appeared and wanted to take down the low-health Zac, but Chen Yi Qiu still had a big move. He used it to take Zac back and escaped.

Wang Duoduo commented: "The top and jungle synergy of Top Esports has begun. In this game, Kalista's Spear of Vengeance is bound to Zac. Gnar will definitely be in trouble after level 6."

"Now Gnar is being suppressed by twice as many last hits, and the level difference is also one level, the laning phase is basically over."

At this time, good news came from the middle lane. Li Xianghe played the flash of the opposite Karma: "The opposite middle laner didn't flash."

Peanut understood: "I'll go to the middle lane to collect the kills later."

However, just after Xiaohuasheng returned to the lower half of the jungle to farm, he encountered Mantis again in the jungle.

This time he was more careful. He saved his E skill and entered the jungle. After finding the Mantis, he used the E skill to run away, thus avoiding being killed alone.

However, the lower jungle area was counterattacked by Mantis.

Peanut was a little anxious and angry: "I really shouldn't have chosen Zac. I should have chosen a hero that is stronger in the early stage. The opponent's Mantis will definitely not dare to come in!"

Liu Qingsong said: "I'll help you. EZ can handle the pressure alone in the bottom lane."

Chen Wei responded: "Well, I have a big move now, I should be able to hold out for two or three waves of soldiers."

So Liu Qingsong and Xiao Huasheng started to roam together, first to gain vision of the jungle and river to prevent invasion from the opposite side.

Ten minutes into the game, Mantis tried to invade several times but to no avail. He found that Top Esports' vision was too good and you would be discovered from any angle.

Now the third blue BUFF is about to refresh. Mantis chooses to use the E skill to jump down from the dragon, invade from the angle of the dragon pit, start scanning, and confirm that he is not discovered by the field of vision.

I remember the commentator saying, "This Mantis seems to do nothing except invade. His only goal is to destroy the jungle."

Wang Duoduo analyzed: "I think this style of play has its reasons. Think about it, the laning level of Top Esports' three lines is so strong. If you attack this aspect, it is basically impossible to gain any benefits."

"Then we can only start from the jungle. If we can really beat Peanut in the jungle, then we can go gank the lane, the success rate will be much higher, and we won't have to worry about being counter-ganked."

As the two were talking, in the jungle, Mantis had already ambushed. At the same time, the FW bottom lane duo also came over, wanting to help the jungler to steal the blue buff.

However, what they didn't know was that they had been fooled!
The moment the FW jungler and bottom laner entered Top Esports' bottom jungle area, Chen Yi Qiu's Kalista directly TPed to the bottom lane tower!
This way, the opponent won't realize that someone has TPed in.

At the same time, Ryze was also moving towards the jungle, everything was ready.

The blue buff refreshed, and Mantis took the initiative to pull the blue buff. Suddenly, Kalista came from the river and surrounded them from behind!

The duo of Top Esports came from the jungle, without Kalista.

"Kalista! He seems to be alone!" The FW team saw the opportunity. Compared to this BUFF, Kalista's head was obviously more critical.

So Luo used his flash ultimate and rushed straight towards Chen Yi Qiu's Kalista. Chen Yi Qiu's Kalista jumped backwards and used her ultimate at the same time.

In fact, Peanut's Zach was right next to him waiting for him to use his ultimate.

Wang Duoduo explained: "Kalista's position seems to be not good. Luo's ultimate flashes and controls her! Shanda appears and knocks her away. Ashe follows up with his ultimate... Ashe's ultimate is blocked by Zac! Zac flies over and knocks Ashe away, blocking her ultimate at the same time."

"But there's also Mantis. Mantis pounced! Gnar's TP also went to the river. Will Kalista die?"

Just as Mantis pounced on Kalista, suddenly, a Tam appeared behind Kalista!

Tam is using his ultimate skill!
At the same time, EZ's ultimate flew over and hit Mantis and Luo.

Tam swallowed Kalista in one bite, causing Mantis to fail to launch the first wave of burst.

Tam slowed down Mantis with his tongue, then spit out Kalista.

This Mantis is in trouble because Tam's presence prevents him from triggering his passive.

Without the passive, Mantis' damage is totally not enough.

Chen Yi Qiu's Kalista was dealing crazy damage, Luo couldn't bear it anymore, and Mantis was waiting for Nal to come down.

Soon, Gnar's TP landed, and everyone in FW discovered that this was a half-blood Gnar with little anger.

"Run!" When Mantis saw Nal's state, he ran away.

However, he could run, but his teammates couldn't. Ryze used his ultimate to land and cooperated with Zac to kill Ashe. EZ used his E skill to come down from above and harvested the battlefield with his teammates. Luo and Gary also died.

Wang Duoduo commented: "FW's active invasion not only failed to counter-jungle, but also gave away three kills. This is unacceptable and the loss is too great."

Jide agreed, "Yes, it's the laning gap in the top lane that causes Kalista to always be the first to support. Moreover, even if the opponent's Gnar goes to support, his condition is very poor, his level is low, his equipment is poor, and his effect is much worse."

In the official live broadcast room, the comments were boiling:
[Do you like counter-jungle? Do you still counter-jungle now? ]

[Is it so easy to counter Top Esports’ jungle? Have you asked Chen Sheng? ]

[Although you have the opportunity to bully Peanut, you have no chance to bully Peanut who is protected by Chen Sheng. ]

[Being a jungler in Top Esports should be the easiest job in the world, with so many big brothers protecting you.]

[Why do I feel like I can do it even if I'm on top? Isn't it just holding on to the top laner's thigh? My posture of holding on to the thigh is better than Peanut's. ]

After this wave of fighting, Mantis felt a little weak. After all, he killed three teammates. It was definitely not a good idea to continue playing like this.

If Mantis fails to maintain the strength of his invasion, this hero will basically be useless.

Inside the KZ lounge, seeing this, everyone in KZ had lost interest in the game and started discussing it.

CUZZ seemed to look down on FW: "FW is too weak and can't execute our tactics at all, so this is not a problem with our tactics. At least from this game, Top Esports' jungle position is indeed a breakthrough point."

Coach Sin nodded.

CUZZ continued: “Of course, if we meet Top Esports and we are completely defeated in this laning phase, then no strategy will work.”

CUZZ looked at BDD and Rascal. Currently, Top Esports’ bottom lane has not shown strong laning suppression, so what they need to worry about is the mid and top lane.

BDD spoke first: "In fact, in the current version, it is difficult to gain a huge advantage in the mid lane, unless the hero's counter is very important, or there are teammates to help target him."

"The lane where the gap is most likely to appear is the top lane, and the gap is huge. The top lane line is very long and is less disturbed by teammates, so the single-lane ability is very important."

This question was thrown to Rascal, who responded: "If it's on the red side, I think it won't be a big problem if I'm given a counter position, but if it's on the blue side... I don't think there's a top laner in the world who can guarantee that he won't be suppressed when facing Top Esports on the blue side."

If this were said about other people, people would feel shocked and outrageous, but when it comes to Chen Yi Qiu, everyone would just feel it is normal and reasonable.

So coach Sin summed it up: "So, in the finals we need to fight for the red side. Should we give up on the blue side? I wouldn't say we give up. We just take it one step at a time."

Everyone nodded. This style of play was actually not uncommon in BO5. In some versions, the blue team was very strong and had a high win rate, so the team would focus on the blue team, and the red team would use conventional play. It would be best if they could win, but losing was also acceptable.

Of course, the reason why they are adopting this style of play against Top Esports has nothing to do with the version, it is purely because of the existence of Chen Yi Qiu.

At this moment, Pray suddenly said: "I suddenly thought of a question."

Everyone in KZ looked over.

Pray continued, "I was thinking, we will play against Top Esports in the group stage tomorrow. If we follow our tactics, whether we win or lose tomorrow, as long as we can perform well, it will alert Top Esports."

"They will definitely make improvements to this problem. Will our trick still work in the knockout stage?"

After hearing this, the KZ team felt that it made sense and that this was a problem they had ignored.

No matter how good the routine is, there is always a way to deal with it, especially for a team like Top Esports, where the player strength and hero pool are impeccable. If you want to find a way to deal with it, you will definitely find it as long as you give it time to prepare.

Sin said, "In this way, we will play normally in the group stage, just to test the basic strength of Top Esports. Maybe we can find some new flaws. When we reach the knockout stage, we will come up with a routine to deal with it."

"Anyway, we don't have the pressure to advance now, and teams from other regions don't pose a threat to us."

So everyone in KZ reached a consensus that they just had to advance through the group stage and save their ultimate skills for later.

Soon, the game between Top Esports and FW came to an end.

Although it was only a little over 20 minutes, FW was completely powerless to resist once the team-up phase began.

If Mantis does not have a huge advantage, he will be useless in team fights.

After a team battle, Top Esports won the game with zero trades for five and took down the big dragon.

Two minutes later, FW was defeated.

Wang Duoduo commented: "With the explosion of the crystal in FW's base, let us congratulate Top Esports for winning this game! Top Esports continues to maintain their undefeated record and move forward!"

Remember to answer, "Yes, we haven't found a team that can stop Top Esports yet. Of course, Top Esports will face the new champion of LCK, Kingzone DragonX, tomorrow. This should be the biggest challenge for Top Esports. Let's wait and see." (End of this chapter)
