Chapter 556 Perfect Team Battle
Therefore, Ning changed his strategy appropriately. The lineup still needed to exert pressure in the early and mid-game, but he could shift the pressure from the bottom lane to the jungle.

I'm not going to worry about ganking the bot lane anymore, but I absolutely have to clear out your jungle.

Therefore, in the time that followed, Prince Ning continued his absolute invasion.

His approach proved to be correct.

Even Lin Ruo wouldn't just hand over the jungle resources in the lower half of the map for no reason.

When the 12-minute mark arrived, after recalling to base and replenishing supplies, I entered the jungle through the bushes near the second mid-lane tower and discovered a Xin Zhao brazenly attacking the F6 camp.

Lin Ruo naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his death.

The Sword Demon is right on the next lane, how dare you be so audacious as to invade the F6 camp?

Lin Ruo launched Zhao Xin into the air with a tunnel, and responded with a three-stage Q basic attack using the excavator. Finally, she used her E skill to take down more than half of Zhao Xin's health.

Prince Ning responded in kind with his skills.

Scan the big face with E and three Q segments.

After both of them depleted each other's health, they both fell to less than half. However, Lin Ruo, who still had skills available, immediately activated her ultimate skill and disappeared from the map.

At this moment, Zhao Xin was clearly the one who panicked.

Once the excavator pounces, his health will be severely depleted, and he definitely won't be able to win.

What's even more critical is that the Sword Demon is closer to the F6 area, so he arrived at the battlefield immediately.

The Great Annihilation is about to begin.

Ning had no choice, because he had swept the excavator away from the bushes next to F6, and when he used E to get to the area, he ended up in that area himself.

So, faced with the Sword Demon's pursuit, he could only continue to make the best of a mistake and head towards the blue team's high ground in the opposite direction.

In order to avoid the excavator's ultimate move, Ning used Flash at the right moment to dodge and create distance, thus ensuring that he would not die in a solo kill.

The two sides remain in a standoff.

Rookie arrived at this time as well. In order to keep in sync with Aatrox and take down the half-health Excavator who landed but missed its ultimate in the bush next to F6.

He chose to flash through the wall and directly into the F6 pit, then use his movement ability to try and catch the enemy off guard.

However, Lin Ruo reacted quickly. After seeing Zhao Xin flash away and pull her away after landing her ultimate, she saw Lissandra flash into the F6 pit. Since her ultimate had missed, she couldn't continue chasing Zhao Xin.

He quickly retaliated by flashing out of the bush and arriving at the second tower, thus avoiding Lissandra's aggressive headshot ultimate.

Thus.

Rookie, ironically, became the most dangerous presence.

Because after he lost contact with the excavator, he was about to be brutally beaten by the sword demon at point-blank range.

Lissandra was in pain from a single basic attack after activating her ultimate, while Scout, with his keen sense of smell, kept a close eye on Xin Zhao's movements from outside his sight.

Rookie was thinking that the Sword Demon wanted to kill him, and even Ning in the corridor was thinking the same thing.

So Ning tentatively turned back, wondering if he could help, since he probably wouldn't survive if he continued to walk towards EDG's high ground.

Scout recognized this potential.

The attack targeted Zhao Xin's turn, using a feint and EQ flash to knock him up. The W skill chained him, preventing him from moving, and then the second W secured the kill.

Prince Ning was the first to fall in battle.

Logically speaking, IG seems to have collapsed a bit this time.

However, the situation quickly reversed again.

Just as Scout, having gained a speed boost, was about to attack Lissandra, the IG duo arrived.

Because of their pressure on the bottom lane, even in team fights in the blue side's jungle, the IG duo were the first to arrive to provide support.

Scout soon paid the price for his greed.

After being knocked up by Braum's ultimate, he was quickly forced into his resurrection armor form by being surrounded by three people.

But this doesn't mean Scout will escape unscathed.

Rookie had anticipated this and had deliberately saved his ultimate ability, waiting for Aatrox to revive.

Lin Ruo, maintaining absolute caution, could only watch from under the turret as his good brother returned to the fountain.

Lucian got the kill.

Scout eventually disappeared as well.

In this invasion team fight, both sides traded a meaningless 1 for 1.

Replacing the jungler with the mid laner might be slightly more profitable for IG.

However, the team fight seems far from over, as EDG's Xayah and Rakan duo has also arrived.

Although I'm late.

However, team fights are not entirely hopeless.

Instead of heading straight for the red monster, the two crouched in the triangular bush behind it, the only way for the IG team to retreat into the river.

At this moment, Lin Ruo, who had recovered a lot of health, also operated the excavator to go from the first tower to prepare for the encirclement.

If Luo Kai performs well at the right time, they can completely turn this team fight into a profit.

However, reality is always a little different.

Perhaps due to prior precautions, the retreating JK displayed exceptional reaction speed, suddenly sliding away to dodge Lucian's ultimate as he charged out of the bushes, thus preventing him from hitting Lucian who was about to enter the river.

The group purchase failed.

Tianye's natural thought was to turn around, stick close to Xia, and then retreat.

But what's worse is...

Suddenly, TP lit up, right in the bush next to the F6 camp where the team fight had just broken out.

"Oh no, Ryze teleported down."

Guan Zeyuan, already in the commentary booth, shouted loudly: "Oh no, EDG is surrounded!"

IG clearly did their best in this round. Although they were a bit reckless in the first engagement, they managed to avoid any problems thanks to timely support.

However, this support came down even faster with Ryze.

The situation is now even more different.

TheShy immediately blocked the retreat route of EDG's bot lane duo.

For an instant.

Xialuo was then surrounded from all sides.

As soon as the healing was activated, iboy used his ultimate to dodge Ryze's control, and then flashed through the wall to the first tower to reunite with Lin Ruo, barely managing to escape with everything he had.

Luo, however, was not so lucky.

Ryze controlled the enemy, and the four of them focused their fire and quickly took down the enemy.

"JK got the second kill, so Lucian has a 2-0 start. IG's kill distribution is absolutely perfect."

In the commentary booth, Wang Duoduo watched intently: "IG really made a profit this time. They hadn't had much momentum before, but this time they finally got going. Logically speaking, it seems a bit of a loss to spend so much manpower and resources to only get two kills, but the key is that both kills were on Lucian."

As IG's primary damage dealer in the early game, Lucian securing kills significantly boosts the team's fighting power, allowing them to play more aggressively in the future.

The headcount allocation is too reasonable.

Although Ryze coming down to the top lane will inevitably result in the loss of a lot of minions.

But Lucian got going.

Then it'll just be a constant fighting game from now on.

In short, this was at least a back-and-forth battle. IG's loss 10 minutes ago did not turn into a crushing defeat, but instead they continued their momentum and successfully turned the tide in this jungle team fight.

“IG has to play at this pace. If they can’t catch anyone, they will invade the jungle and constantly compress EDG’s economy by acquiring resources.”

I remember also analyzing the situation.

By playing like this, IG can at least ensure that they maintain control of the game's tempo.

Of course, if we can use this kind of vision to invade and make a big splash.

Wouldn't that mean an immediate and overwhelming victory?
EDG is a mid-to-late game roster, and they are still somewhat inexperienced when facing IG. If they can use this method to constantly pressure this still-developing team to make more or less mistakes, they can succeed.

There's no doubt that IG was the team that achieved a complete sweep in the early stages.

Therefore, in his view, IG has a very good chance.

However, this small advantage is not enough for now; we need to continue to expand it.

What EDG needs to do is prevent IG from invading their jungle so easily, thereby continuously expanding their advantage in resource exchange.

At least for now, EDG is doing quite well.

"It's not a big problem. As long as the other side doesn't take down the first tower, they won't have any significant advantage."

Lin Ruo spoke calmly in the voice message.

GimGoon in the top lane didn't teleport down, but he got plenty of food; Viktor's development was definitely ahead of the pack.

The bottom lane tower didn't even fall.

Are the duo having a terrible time? Absolutely not.

Let's play slowly and not give IG any big wins at once. In Lin Ruo's opinion, the situation and rhythm were in their hands in less than 25 minutes.

Lin Ruo also understands that what IG needs to do most next is still to take down a tower.

What he needs to do most is still to defend the first tower.

The later IG pushes, the smaller their so-called advantage will be. If they can't take down the next tower, IG can just go for the kill.

The fierce fighting continues.

It wasn't until the 14-minute mark that IG finally managed to take down the so-called next tower with Lissandra's support and four players grouping up.

However, getting it at this point is obviously too late in terms of timing, especially since Aatrox wasn't idle either, but went to the top lane to help Viktor take the top tower as well.

A disguised exchange occurs between the two sides.

In other words, IG didn't simply take down the next tower; they traded the previous tower for the next one.

To summarize...

This loss of the first tower by IG cannot be described as a minor loss; it was an absolute major loss.

The strategic point that should have been taken quickly in the early game was only secured at the last minute, and the opponent even managed to get the exchange point in the top lane.

Under these circumstances, Lucian did develop.

But what about the others?

I do not know.

All I know is that Ryze is having a really tough time, while Viktor seems to be developing way ahead of everyone else.

They were so advanced that they could take down most of the Rift Herald's health on their own, so Lin Ruo only needed to use Smite to finish them off.

The storyline seems to be developing in the direction IG hoped for, but at a snail's pace.

What's even more outrageous is that it seems to be developing in the same direction as EDG.

For EDG, this slow pace is perfectly adequate, since we are the team with a late-game composition.

Then the plot took a turn.

IG had no choice but to put pressure on the upper half of the bracket again.

The jungle invasion battle continues, and just as the commentators said, IG's constant invasions are indeed disrupting EDG's rhythm and development.

They could even crush EDG in one fell swoop.

However, this is all predicated on what happens if you don't place the wards properly and ruin the team's performance.
Within 16 minutes.

Having accurately timed the blue buff respawn, IG launched another large-scale invasion.

The so-called scale involved Lissandra pushing the mid lane while Xin Zhao led Braum into EDG's blue buff area via a side path.

Ning had calculated that Lin Ruo would take the blue buff at this time, and that the blue buff would most likely be given to Viktor, who needed to farm the most.

In fact.

He was half right. Victor was indeed in the blue zone, but he was only going up through there, while Lin Ruo's excavator wasn't there.

Ignoring everything, Ning Wang, wielding the Blast Fruit, stepped into the Blue Pit and collided head-on with Viktor. He immediately stabbed Viktor, who was being strangled by Braum who had come close to him.

Yes.

Killing Victor is much better than killing the excavator.

In fact, if Viktor could be killed, this invasion would be extremely profitable.

In the end, IG won, but they didn't gain anything because Lin Ruo's position was too fatal.

At the same time that Braum and Xin Zhao killed Viktor, Lucian, who was 2-0 in the top lane, was also killed.

At this moment, Lin Ruo's location was crystal clear: she was in the grass along the riverbank with Tian Ye and Luo.

Logically, Lucian should have probed the area before entering the river. Even if he had a slide ability, he shouldn't have been knocked up by the excavator's E skill right in front of him.

Logically speaking, that is indeed impossible.

The reason this doesn't make sense is that Xin Zhao and Braum have already invaded the blue team's jungle.

This creates a sense of security for JK (high school girl).

Our players have all gone to the enemy's blue buff jungle, so there's definitely no one here in the river.

It's like saying the main force is about to push to the enemy's main crystal, and you're telling me a small group ambushes me along the way? Who would believe that?

JK didn't believe it, so he wasn't on guard at all. In order to get there as soon as possible to support the river, he even used his slide step. As a result, he was lifted up by the excavator right in front of him.

With a quick follow-up from Luo, there was no need to use their ultimate abilities. At the very moment Viktor died, the two of them easily eliminated Lucian.

1 for 1.

IG won't collapse.

The real collapse occurred when IG's jungler and support were immediately chased down by EDG's jungler and support coming down from the top river after retreating from the blue buff area.

We're not afraid of fighting 2 against 2.

What's worrying is that Aatrox might also teleport down from the bottom lane.

Starting with the Great Annihilation from the middle river, they launched a pursuit, taking Xayah who was originally farming in the middle lane.

Rookie, who was originally going to provide support, realized as soon as he entered the river that he wasn't going to provide support at all.

Although they reunited with the jungler and support, it seems like the reunion point was within the opponent's encirclement.

Yes.

Rookie realized he had gone too fast, and was now trapped in the river by four EDG players who had rushed up and down, with nowhere to retreat.

Can three against four be fought?

That's definitely not something we can fight; we should call for reinforcements.

Oh, so Ryze in the bot lane used his teleport to support the F6 camp at 12 minutes, and his skill is still on cooldown.

That's all.

Since that's the case, let's fight.

The three IG players weren't ready when Luo came down and activated his ultimate.

King Ning never expected that his Zhao Xin would become the first target of focused fire.

The biggest mistake was using his ultimate ability while chasing Viktor, leaving him with no skills to sweep away Rakan at this moment.

If you can't sweep it away, then you'll have to be carried away.

Aatrox uses his Q to knock the enemy up, the excavator drilling through the tunnel comes up and lifts them up, and Xayah uses her Q again.

Zhao Xin died faster than anyone else.

With Rakan easily charming him, Rookie was forced to use his ultimate ability to freeze Rakan, preventing Rakan from charming him.

However, the effect doesn't seem to be very significant.

Because iboy's flying feathers, with a single pull, directly completed the task that Luo had failed to complete, successfully keeping the other two in place.

Now, no one can escape.

In a team fight that lasted 16 minutes, four members of IG were eliminated.

All of this is thanks to Ning's reckless invasion of the jungle.

EDG doesn't care about losing Viktor, since everyone else can still deal damage.

But what happens to IG after Lucian is gone? Will they rely on Braum or Rissandra to carry the majority of the damage?
Will not work.

What's more, there's one less Ryze without teleport.

Therefore, from the moment Aatrox teleported down, IG was destined to lose this team fight.

Their invasion of the jungle was correct, but the invasions were purely based on their mood. The 12-minute F6 invasion was fine and yielded some benefits, but the 16-minute blue buff invasion was a big problem and directly caused the team to collapse.

4 for 1.

This early-to-mid-game lineup has clearly fallen into an untouchable abyss at this point.

"In that case, IG is in a bit of a mess."

In the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan seemed somewhat incredulous.

Before this team fight, he was quite optimistic about IG's playstyle and even expected IG to use this lineup to create a perfect team fight.

Given IG's current early-game fighting ability, as long as Lucian doesn't die unexpectedly, team fights shouldn't be a big problem.

I'm just sorry to say...

Lucian was the first to die for IG, as he was the team's biggest source of sustained damage.

This is the worst possible start, and unfortunately it happened to IG.

Unfortunately, it seems like it wasn't Lucian's fault.

Many fans used to say that JK (high school girl) is prone to sudden death, but this time, all I can say is, don't blame me!

You all rushed to the house across the street; how was I supposed to know that someone would stop me on the way?

So who's to blame for the collapse...?

The IG players may not have been able to adjust yet, but they know that the offensive must continue, even if this wave may have already exploded.

It is precisely because of the explosion that we must continue the charge, either to the very end or to win back everything lost in the next wave.

So this did not affect IG's continued fearless attack later on.

Taking advantage of EDG's momentum after winning the team fight and taking the Earth Dragon, the resurrected IG members launched a counter-push and caught the Aatrox who hadn't retreated in time in the Dragon Pit.

By taking advantage of the numerical advantage in numbers, they successfully destroyed the central tower.

IG seems to have made some progress.

However, they quickly returned it all clean.

During the 19-minute match.

IG, with their mid and bot lanes pushing, once again experienced a champion disconnect. TheShy, who pushed too far into the bottom lane, was almost caught by Viktor who teleported down to flank.

This caused the remaining four members of IG to enter the blue side's jungle from the mid lane to prepare to provide support.

Unfortunately, TheShy got away.

Using a clever combination of deflection and teleportation, he evaded the pincer attack from Aatrox and Viktor, and teleported back to his own high ground.

This should have been a good thing, but it doesn't seem to be a good thing for the other four members of IG who are like clowns.

It's like a friend venturing into a wolf's den for you, only to find you've already sneaked out. But what about us...?

Yes, Ryze is out.

However, the other four members of IG went in.

Upon reaching the Stone Beetle area, the four members of IG realized something was wrong and frantically retreated, trying to return to the river through the triangular bush next to the blue side's bottom tower ruins.

The reason they didn't go online was because Viktor and Aatrox had already blocked Ryze's path long ago.

Therefore, they had no choice but to take the side path.

Behind them, towards the blue side's second tower, came the excavator and Luo Du.

Xayah has arrived in the red buff area.

Unable to avoid being surrounded again, the four IG players could only quicken their pace and retreat from the triangular bush area.

Finally, they entered the river, but unfortunately, it seemed they had entered the Aatrox's home turf.

Yes, Scout's Aatrox had already unleashed his ultimate attack and was waiting for them.

In this era with the Guardian Angel, every Aatrox possesses 100% courage.

The commentators and the audience were especially shocked when Scout's Aatrox charged into the group of four as usual.

Isn't this just handing them a free kill? If you want to keep someone, you don't have to do it like this.

After all, even if you, Sword Demon, are incredibly strong, you can't take on four opponents at once, especially since they're all supposedly at full health and with all their skills maxed out.

The words say so.

However, the commentators and viewers quickly realized that this Sword Demon wasn't actually feeding.

Because he had Victor following behind him.

Scout will be unable to kill anyone once he enters, and will be forced into resurrection armor form in less than three seconds.

However, those three seconds created enough space for Viktor.

Of course, this space is not necessarily the output space, but rather the space to create an effective environment for Viktor's E skill, Gravity Field.

After the E skill is used to deploy a gravity field device, enemies within the area will be slowed by 33%-45%, remain stunned for 1.25 seconds, be stunned for 1.5 seconds, and have their movement interrupted.

This is what the Sword Demon is helping with.

I went in and hacked and slashed, then got forced to use my resurrection armor and crawl forward. Does that matter? No, it doesn't matter.

Because the gravitational field took effect, three of the four IG players who were held back by the Sword Demon were stunned.

This created an opportunity for Lin Ruo to enter the fray. He passed through the tunnel wall and then used Flash W to adjust his position, instantly knocking up the three people who were under control.

Viktor unleashes his ultimate, Electromagnetic Pulse, followed by Rakan's Charm, and then Xayah enters as the second damage dealer.

The battlefield was instantly devastated.

This completely stunned the three LPL commentators in the commentary booth.

"What a perfect team fight initiation! Gravity Field controlled three, Rek'Sai flashed and knocked up three, and Rakan charmed them all as soon as he entered the fray. IG is doomed."

Guan Zeyuan roared furiously.

This time, IG really exploded; it was a complete disaster with absolutely no chance of fighting back.

Just like how IG crushed Aatrox in three seconds, EDG also crushed IG's four members on the front line in three seconds with a perfect team fight initiation.

Some were crippled, some died.

In just a few seconds of damage infusion, the four IG players were completely rendered unable to deal any damage.

What awaited them was a complete and utter annihilation by EDG, followed by them all returning to their base.

This scene was very impressive.

At this moment, almost all the fans in the Wenhe Arena, whether IG or EDG, exclaimed in unison.

This was such a perfect team fight with excellent teamwork. IG was like a bot, completely unable to fight back, and then they were crushed.

TheShy, who had just arrived at the river from the high ground, witnessed everything and then had to turn around and leave.

He hadn't expected the team fight to unfold in this way.

He ran away.

His four teammates who came to his rescue were all gone.

To make matters worse, it seems like Baron Nashor is about to spawn.

Yes, EDG has plenty of time to switch their focus to Baron Nashor now.
