Chapter 37: The Domestic Dog-Beating Stick 1.0 is Now Available!

On the top lane of the Rift, Wang Yao, who was responsible for pushing the lane, did not rush to take down the red team's top tower.

Instead, Meiko was sent back to base to get the Incense Burner equipment, and then the factory manager was sent to get the Rift Herald.

At this point, RNG completely abandoned any offensive decisions and retreated to a defensive posture.

Just as RNG's coach Firefox predicted, they decided not to go out and fight EDG until 20 minutes in, in order to avoid letting the opponent widen the economic gap further.

They wait until 20 minutes later, when the third dragon spawns in the lower half of the map, and then they will seize the opportunity to engage in a team fight.

If they win, RNG will still have a chance to turn the tide.

Even if you lose, you'll die standing!

"Why are they hiding? They're not even putting up wards in the river?"

After another failed gank, the factory manager frowned slightly. This couldn't go on.

After EDG secured the Rift Herald, the entire RNG team switched to a defensive stance.

When RNG is at a disadvantage, their defensive strategy is usually quite effective, even comparable to EDG.

Moreover, Xiaohu played Orianna in this game, and his wave clear efficiency was also very good.

"They can't keep dragging this out indefinitely. I reckon they'll lose their patience once they get the third dragon."

Wang Yao said calmly.

Although RNG's lineup has strong late-game capabilities, Wang Yao has no worries whatsoever.

His Tristana was very well developed in this game, as were the other players in EDG, who were much better developed than RNG.

As long as they don't get caught out by the opponent during their operations or make mistakes in team fights, their chances of winning against RNG in the first 30 minutes are still very high.

But at this moment, it is almost impossible for RNG to drag the game to 30 minutes. As long as EDG hits Baron, RNG will have to send someone to fight.

Moreover, the second dragon to spawn in the lower half of the map is a fire dragon. Once EDG has two fire dragons, they will become even more terrifying!
In addition, RNG's lineup is relatively weak in ganking, and it is difficult for Xiangguo's Jarvan IV alone to drive the pace of picking off isolated targets.

Under these circumstances, EDG's development in each lane will not be greatly affected, and at the same time, they can use their own advantages to squeeze RNG's vision in the jungle.

Although it's difficult for EDG to find opportunities to gain kills and extend their lead, they can still steadily snowball their economic advantage.

Soon after, RNG's top and mid towers were destroyed one after another, and the Rift Herald in the top lane even crashed into the second tower.

Seeing this, Uzi, who was busy farming and developing, felt sorry for him. The fewer outer turrets there were, the less time he had to develop!

After taking down RNG's outer turrets in the top, mid, and bottom lanes, EDG secured the second dragon.

With two dragons in hand and 4700 gold in 15 minutes, EDG's early game advantage was already quite obvious.

"The prince should go to the bottom half of the map to establish vision, and the mag should go to the top half of the map to farm and quickly build two tank items."

On the RNG player bench, Uzi gave instructions to the top and jungle players.

He desperately needs time to develop, so he should play it safe and wait for an opportunity. At least the situation shouldn't collapse, and they can stall for time.

Uzi hadn't died yet in this game, so even if his teammates were having a tough time, he still had the will to keep playing.

After all, it wasn't him who collapsed. As long as he wasn't dead, Uzi was confident that he could quickly farm gold to get the equipment.

Maintaining vision in the jungle is essentially protecting Uzi's income. Without these jungle resources, it's difficult for him to build his AD three-item build by simply farming minions in lane.

"If Baron Nashor hasn't spawned yet, it seems like EDG won't have much of an opportunity."

In the commentary booth, Miller analyzed the situation on the field.

If EDG's top laner had played a champion like Rumble or Jayce in this game, EDG could have easily implemented a 4-1 split push strategy.

Mouse applied pressure to RNG by split-pushing on the side lanes, and RNG struggled to counter the 4-1 split-push strategy. After all, Letme is essentially a passive top laner, while Mouse, though also somewhat passive, can genuinely pull off a strong fighter top laner.

The title "Light of Domestic Top Laners," which originally carried a hint of mockery, has been transformed into a complimentary nickname, "A Guang," by Mouse during this playoff season.

Neither Cho'Gath nor Treant Protector were considered good split-pushing heroes in this match.

Scout's Ekko can push lanes on the sidelines, but against Xiaohu's Orianna, Ekko has to be present to fight back.

Online viewers of the League of Legends couldn't help but criticize and curse RNG as their performance continued to decline.

"I'm really fed up with this guy in the bot lane. He picks Morgana and every time he engages AD, he just flashes in and feeds kills. He feeds an incredibly fed Tristana, what's the point of playing him?!"

"Mlxg is unbelievable. The prince spent the whole time wandering around the bottom half of the map, and you were just there cosplaying as a river crab, weren't you?"

"Uzi really did his best in this game, but he couldn't carry the jungler and support, and they died one after another."

"You're talking nonsense! If I were the jungler, I'd be yelling at the ADC for not getting lane priority every game when they pick Caitlyn!"

"It's purely an AD difference. Their Tristana got Infinity Edge and Statikk Shiv in 18 minutes, which is a whole item ahead of Caitlyn. We'll just have to wait for the Chinese version of the dog-beating stick to be released soon."

"..."

At this moment, the entire RNG team is still farming and developing Uzi, protecting him like a nanny.

Xiangguo watched as his monsters turned into coins and fell into the policewoman's pocket, and his feelings were complicated.

If Able were to touch his jungle monsters, Xiangguo would definitely yell at him: "What the hell are you going to eat?!"

When he saw the factory manager's Lee Sin sneak into his top jungle and steal a camp of F6, Xiangguo's expression became even more distressed.

"RNG's lineup has really struggled to get this far!"

Guan Zeyuan shook his head: "The third dragon is also a fire dragon. With three fire dragons spawning in a row, RNG has no choice but to engage in the next dragon fight."

"If EDG gets this Fire Dragon, then even if RNG drags the game into the late game, they won't be able to compete with Tristana who has the three Fire Dragon buff!"

The match was fast approaching the 20-minute mark.

To be on the safe side, Wang Yao bought a Mercury's Gauntlet after returning home, so he wouldn't be forcibly controlled by Maokai or Jarvan IV during team fights.

In critical moments, the Mercury's Treads, which can remove crowd control effects, is one of the few ways for ADCs to survive.

When the EDG team arrived at the bottom half of the Dragon Pit area and began to set up wards, Xiangguo looked at Wang Yao's equipment bar and immediately felt a headache coming on.

Their lineup wasn't good at taking down Tristana anyway, so they were hoping Tristana would make a mistake on her own.

But Wang Yao is so well-developed and as steady as an old dog, how is he supposed to get in and take down the little cannon?

"I have Flash now, let's focus on Tristana this time!" Letme was ready to go, determined to wash away his humiliation in this team fight.

"Shi Senming, remember to give me the E shield, so I don't get pushed out by Tristana's ultimate when I enter the fray."

Mala Xiangguo reminded Xiaoming.

"no problem!"

Xiao Ming nodded, carefully observing his crucial E skill.

"If we can take down the enemy Tristana in this dragon fight, we can win!"

Uzi's eyes were sinister as he stared intently at the small cannon not far away.

RNG had already made a rough battle plan before the team fight, just waiting for EDG to take the dragon first so they could seize the opportunity to strike!
