Chapter 180 The Sweating Little Tiger!
"Orianna and Sion, play aggressively and secure lane control first. Then coordinate with me to invade the jungle later," Xiangguo communicated with his teammates in advance.

The mid-lane Orianna vs. Camille is a classic long-range vs. short-range matchup, and Orianna will definitely have no problem controlling the lane in the early game.

On the top lane, the Captain doesn't have a good chance against Sion in the early game, because the Captain simply can't out-penetrate Sion with Arcane Comet.

It's not actually that difficult for RNG's top and mid laners to gain lane priority at the start of the game. Once they have lane priority, Kha'Zix can enter the jungle and forcefully steal Clearlove's jungle monsters.

"Since you dare to come to the mid lane, you'd better be prepared to be ganked by me like crazy!" Xiangguo chuckled.

Soon, the mid-lane minions arrived on the lane.

After entering the S8 season, in order to speed up the pace of the game, Riot Games adjusted the respawn time of jungle monsters and the respawn time of the first wave of minions.

The current minion and jungle monster respawn times are 10 seconds earlier than in Season 7.

Wang Yao didn't rush to control Qing Gangying to move forward. Instead, he waited until the melee unit was low on health before slowly approaching.

Xiaohu was naturally unwilling to let the opponent easily last-hit those three melee minions, so he immediately took two steps forward, used a basic attack followed by a Q, and commanded the puppet to fly towards Camille's position.

However, Camille took a step back to dodge Orianna's Q skill damage, and then immediately strode forward to use her W [Tactical Sweep].

Xiaohu's Orianna tried to run back, but it was too late. Camille's W tactical sweep hit Orianna at the extreme distance.

Camille recovered some health, and the damage from Orianna's auto-attack and Aery was basically wiped out.

After Clockwerk was slowed down by Camille's Tactical Sweep, Arcane Comet slammed into him, dealing significant damage to a squishy mage.

Furthermore, the basic attack damage caused by Clockwerk also attracted the aggro of the surrounding minions. The blue team's minions chased after Clockwerk, and the ranged minions immediately turned their guns and began to focus fire.

Xiaohu must retreat in time to draw the minions' aggro, while Camille's Tactical Sweep is an AOE attack that will not attract the minions' aggro.

While Orianna was busy running back, trying to draw the minions' aggro, Camille could comfortably auto-attack and take down the three melee minions.

After this exchange, Wang Yao's Camille was still almost at full health, while Orianna lost nearly a quarter of her health.

"My god, Camille with Arcane Comet, her sustain is that strong? Even Orianna can't outlast her!"

Upon seeing this, Miller in the commentary booth couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Even though it was Orianna who went up to trade blows, she ended up losing health, while Camille barely lost any.

This laning phase is incredibly strong!
"Xiaohu's Q skill missed Kshine, which is the most crucial point. It has to be said that Kshine's understanding of the current version is still excellent, and he can always bring us something new."

Rita exclaimed in admiration.

In the mid lane, after his skills were off cooldown again, Xiaohu tried to use his Q to harass again, but Wang Yao saw through his intention and dodged it.

Now it was Little Tiger's turn to be drenched in sweat.

What kind of monster is this guy on the other side? How come he always seems to anticipate when he's about to use his Q skill?!
Xiaohu's Orianna, while not top-tier, is still among the top three mid laners in the LPL. However, when facing Kshine, who had just switched to the mid lane, he was treated like a toy being teased.

No wonder Xiaogou's mentality collapsed when facing Wang Yao last season. Anyone would break down when facing such a monster player!

At that moment, the factory manager's voice came through Wang Yao's headset: "I can come to mid lane and gank Orianna, wanna go for it?"

“Okay, I’ll kick in first, just follow up with your skills.” Wang Yao nodded. After taking down the red buff, the factory manager’s Sejuani didn’t continue farming in the top half of the map as planned, but instead went to the left side bush in the mid lane.

No one could have imagined that Clearlove's Sejuani would be thinking of ganking a lane at level 2. Although Clearlove did have a habit of ganking at level 2 when playing against RNG, most of his ganks were against the bot lane.

Now that Wang Yao has moved to the mid lane, the factory manager still habitually helps Wang Yao establish an advantage first.

At this moment, Xiaohu was completely unaware of the impending danger. His positioning was very lax, after all, this was his first time facing Camille in the mid lane, and Wang Yao was still a "rookie mid laner".

The reason why the factory manager dared to gank the mid lane at level two was that his mid laner Camille had a first-strike control ability, and she was also a melee champion!

Previously, Sejuani couldn't gank mid at level two because her E skill, Permafrost, had a passive effect: attacks from melee allies would apply a layer of frost to enemies.

In the past, most mid-lane champions were long-range mages, and it was difficult for a level 2 Sejuani to quickly stack 4 stacks of her E passive using only her auto-attacks.

But now that Camille is here, even a level 2 Sejuani can quickly stack 4 layers of her E passive without needing to use her W skill!
"Huh? Is the factory manager going to gank mid at level 2?" Wawa exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that when Wang Yao rotated to mid, the factory manager's "favor" would still arrive as expected.

"This is the absolute core status of EDG!"

The factory manager waited patiently for a while, and after Wang Yao's Camille reached level 2, he immediately learned the E skill!
The mid-lane terrain is indeed very suitable for Camille's performance, with the walls on all four sides providing ample space for Camille to use her E skill.

In an instant, Wang Yao used his E skill to launch a grappling hook at the wall to his right. The moment the grappling hook hit the wall, the figure of the Steel Shadow suddenly flew forward.

Camille's second E skill extends its range when flying towards an enemy.

So even if Xiaohu's Orianna ran back, it wouldn't make a difference. However, faced with this situation, Xiaohu wouldn't be so scared as to immediately use Flash.

The factory manager's Sejuani didn't appear immediately, and Xiaohu thought the opponent just wanted to trade blows with him, so Orianna only used her E to cast a shield on herself in advance.

Camille used the EW combo; after the outer edge of W landed, Camille kicked Orianna, essentially stealing the damage from W first.

Clockwork was kicked unconscious on the spot, but the next second Xiaohu regretted it when he saw Factory Manager's Sejuani!
"Holy crap! How did Sejuani manage to gank mid at level two?!"

Xiaohu was completely numb from watching; he finally understood firsthand the pain of Uzi being ganked at level two.

"Jungler, please save us!"

Little Tiger was still thinking of struggling a little longer.

As soon as Xiangguo switched the screen to check the mid lane, he saw Sejuani decisively use a Q-flash to knock Orianna away, followed by a basic attack, immediately applying two stacks of Frostbite passive.

Camille's basic attack also triggered a passive stack, instantly giving Orianna three stacks of Frostbite passive!

It's important to know that Camille's E skill grants her an additional attack speed buff upon hitting an enemy. A full combo of her scissor kicks deals damage that squishy mages simply can't withstand.

Xiaohu's health dropped rapidly, and he was also ignited by Camille!

"It's hopeless..." Xiangguo shook his head, ignoring Xiaohu's request. He didn't need to waste time on a dead man.

And the situation in the middle lane was indeed as Mala Xiangguo had predicted.
