You've only been playing for half a year, and you've already reached the finals?

The heroes from both sides rushed out of the fountain one after another.

Mingjing hadn't played AD for too long. When he first left the house, he habitually took two steps towards the mid lane before suddenly realizing what was happening and turning towards the bottom lane.

At this moment, Jie Jie and Meiko were still discussing their initial decisions.

"Can we dodge into the bottom lane?" JieJie asked.

"Whether you can do it or not, just come here first," Meiko laughed. "Anyway, that's how the female police officer Glorious fights, right? Just trust Mingjing."

"Just bring it on." Ming Jing was more confident than his jungler and support teammates. "This enemy combination can't win in lane."

Mingjing crouched at the entrance to the bottom lane jungle while pressing TAB, habitually mentally rehearsing the upcoming laning phase.

There are many variables in a 2v2 laning phase, making it much more difficult to simulate.

But at this moment, Ming Jing suddenly noticed that his mid-laner's equipment slot was completely empty.

"Kim Geon-woo," Myung-kyung said helplessly, "you didn't buy any equipment."

"Huh?" Zeka was startled, then quickly pressed B to return to town.

Fortunately, Mingjing discovered it early, and there are still twenty seconds before the troops are deployed. Moreover, Zeka has not missed any vision, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But this scene still made the EDG players a little uneasy.

Are you that nervous?

Of course, I can understand that.

After all, Zeka hadn't played a single match since the summer playoffs, and hadn't even participated in many scrims. Yet now, he was called upon to lead the team in a critical situation when they were down 1-2 at the World Championship.
Normally, matches are played in small, empty LPL arenas. Suddenly, they find themselves in a stadium with tens of thousands of people, and the match is a close game with elimination looming. Anyone who doesn't have a composure like Mingjing would be nervous.

"It's alright, relax," Ming Jing said patiently. "Focus on your lane, and leave the rest to me."

"Mhm." Zeka nodded, but his nervousness couldn't be completely soothed by Mingjing's words alone; he would have to adapt on his own.

At this moment, the DRX team grouped up and rushed across the river, placing a ward next to EDG's red buff area F6, hoping to scout out JieJie's jungle movement.

But Meiko was prepared. She used her scan ability to clear the ward and then returned to town to resupply.

At that moment, the minions spawned, and Meiko switched her scanner to a ward, then went to lane with the newly spawned minions.

Meiko's strategy was very clear in this game.

Although he doesn't know how to play support Heimerdinger, he still knows how to handle the situation.

The biggest advantage of Heimerdinger lies in controlling the lane bushes.

Before going online, place three turrets in the two front bushes and use the scanning trinket to clear wards. This will allow you to firmly control the two bushes and then use the turrets' wave-pushing ability to help the bottom lane quickly reach level two and establish an advantage.

Once you understand the strengths of the big boss, dealing with him isn't too difficult.

It's nothing more than taking over the lane grass and clearing out the turrets.

Firstly, Lux and Caitlyn are both long-range heroes, allowing them to take down turrets from outside their range. Furthermore, Lux's E ability can scout bushes, making her a good player at contesting lane control.

Therefore, there is no reason for them to be at a disadvantage in this laning phase.

As the minion waves shifted, Mingjing, under Meiko's command, tried to stand towards the river and then used basic attacks on the minions.

This will lure the minions towards the river, thus keeping them away from the turrets that the enemy has hidden in the bushes.

Beryl wasn't stupid either; he was doing the opposite, standing in the bushes and auto-attacking minions to lure them towards the bushes.

(See below ↓)

Both sides drew their lines in two different directions, but the result did not change; the minions still crossed over in the middle.

But this is definitely meaningful. It's better to make a handover in the middle than near the bushes, because then the big head would be truly invincible.

Currently, at the mid-lane transition point, the turrets that Da Tou buried in the bushes at the front are not effective; only the turrets in the middle bushes are attacking minions, which is not enough to push the lane efficiently.

This gives EDG's bot lane duo a chance to secure second place.

The female police officer and Lux ​​unleashed a barrage of basic attacks, relentlessly reducing the minions' health.

However, neither of them rushed to use their skills, and they only used basic attacks.

The combination of Caitlyn and Lux ​​is for suppressing health, so their skills should be used primarily to reduce health. If you use skills on minions, Heimerdinger can simply rush up and set up his turret, and you're done for.

Even though Ming Jing had never faced Da Tou in a match, he could still understand the logic behind it.

The one rushing to use their skills to reach level two is probably the opposing team.

If the other side gets anxious, they will naturally make mistakes.

that's the truth.

Big Head definitely can't accept being at a disadvantage in lane. If this hero is at a disadvantage in lane, he doesn't even have the right to set up turrets, and he's not even as good as an ordinary mage or support.

Seeing that two turrets were not working, Beryl had no choice but to use the extra movement speed of his turrets near the turrets to push forward and place the turrets directly at the junction of the minion waves.

He also has a turret in hand. If EDG dares to counterattack, he will immediately deploy a second turret to force a trade of blows. Combined with Ashe's slow effect, he will be extremely powerful in combat!
But when it comes to roster changes, EDG is clearly not going to back down.

Almost the instant Big Head charged forward and set up his turret, the EDG duo's basic attacks landed on Big Head simultaneously.

Of course, the two of them would never dismantle the artillery emplacements.

The key reason why Big Head was able to appear on the field was that he was strengthened in the summer season, with the turret's health increased. Now, the turret needs three basic attacks to destroy.

Three basic attacks hitting the turret are obviously not as direct as attacking the player.

Without hesitation, Beryl immediately ordered the second turret.

At the same time, Deft's Ashe immediately followed up, pushing forward to trade blows.

But at that very moment, the policewoman pointed with her right hand, and a trap was placed in front of Han Bing.

Deft paused slightly upon seeing the clip.

A female police officer with Level 1 W training?
However, it must be said that the trap was indeed deadly, because it was positioned at the very limit of his attack range. If he wanted to attack someone, he could only take a couple of small steps to avoid the trap.

These two steps are enough to allow the support to take another round of focused fire from basic attacks.

Meiko's Lux placed her E [Radiant Singularity] between Heimerdinger and the turret, dealing considerable AOE damage. Only then did she land a basic attack on the turret.

The advantage of Lux against Heimerdinger is that Lux can take down a turret that normally requires three auto attacks to destroy with a single E-A combo and her passive, which is incredibly easy.

In a single encounter, the number of cannon emplacements decreased by one.

Mingjing was prepared, and the moment the slow effect was applied by Lux's E skill, he placed a trap under Big Head's feet!
Before you even get boots, Lux's E skill's 25% slow is enough to make the traps hit.

Meiko ignored the main issue and used another basic attack on the turret, destroying both turrets.

At that moment, a clicking sound rang out.

The clamp was triggered, trapping Big Head in place.

The policewoman fired a shot to the head, and Meiko turned around and fired a passive shot as well. In one shot, Big Head's health dropped to less than half!
"Let's go, let's go, we can't fight anymore!"

Mr. Dai knew something was wrong as soon as he saw the situation. He used his W skill, "Volley of Arrows," to slow down two people and try to cover his teammates' retreat.

But Mingjing's laning style has always been aggressive, and he would never let this half-health giant escape without a cost.

Without hesitation, he decisively pressed the treatment button and pressed on!

The female police officer, Radiant, rarely lost a bit of health, but was immediately healed back to health. Moreover, the speed boost from the healing also offset Ashe's slow effect. The two of them were relentless and continued to fight head-on!

Big Head's physique was already relatively weak. In the durability version, where everyone starts with 600 HP, he only had a pitiful 540 HP. Now, after being chased and attacked by two people, his HP was about to drop to near zero.

With no other option, Beryl gritted his teeth and dodged! Cheers erupted from the audience.

The three commentators in the LPL commentary booth were all smiles.

"Wow, Fei Shen!" Miller was genuinely moved. "That familiar feeling is back!"

Classic level 1.5 health, only the strong have the right to finish off the enemy!

Back in S10, young Xiaofei won the championship by stepping on Ghost King's head!
"That's the attitude we need!" Wang Duoduo grinned from ear to ear. "We need to exert our dominance so much that the opponent is afraid to lane against us!"

As a supporter of EDG, I felt incredibly frustrated watching the first three games!
If they weren't in poor form, how could they allow a relatively weak bot laner like DRX to keep getting lane priority?

Once the fourth game started, everything went right.

This is the kind of rhythm EDG should have!
The DRX duo were genuinely hesitant to face off in lane at this point.

Although Heimerdinger escaped with Flash, there was no point in him staying in lane with only low health. Once the minion wave pushed over, his low health would become the breakthrough point!
With no other option, Beryl had to let Deft stabilize first while he went back to base to recover his health and mana.

Mr. Dai felt bitter inside, but he could only nod.

This level is already this bad. Even if they recover and are back in top form, the two of them will have nothing to do with lane priority.

Forget about lane priority, just surviving this tower dive is considered a success.
Deft has every reason to believe that EDG's Vi is already heading to the bottom lane, and this tower dive will only come earlier than usual, most likely starting after two waves of minions.

Caitlyn is fully capable of pushing lanes.

How can we weather this storm?
There was nothing else we could do but call in reinforcements.

"Changxian," Deft said, "come to the bottom lane and help us out, it's getting dangerous."

"Huh? I was just scrolling down."

"No, we have to come now!"

"what?"

Pyosik was a little confused, so he switched the screen to the bottom lane to take a look.

But what he saw left him dumbfounded.

How come I was sent home at level one?

No wonder they're begging for protection.

If there's no jungler, the support wouldn't even be allowed to log in!

This damn sense of familiarity.
Why should Phi have to clean up the mess for whichever route he goes on?
Is this person really that twisted?

Pyosik inwardly complained, but he had no choice but to listen to his older brother. He quickly used a Q to take down the Krugs in front of him and headed straight for the bottom lane.

Zhao Lijie's Vivo is also accelerating its downward trajectory.

Zhao Lijie was actually speeding up the pace this game. He chose the Blue Buff and Red Buff route to quickly reach level 3, with the goal of getting to the bottom lane to participate in tower diving.

But to my surprise, it was still too slow.

The frog wasn't even finished fighting yet, and the bot lane was already yelling about tower diving. Who can stand that?
After only two waves of minions, they're already diving the tower. No jungler can reach level three quickly and get into position in the bottom lane in such a short time.

Zhao Lijie didn't even bother with the red buff. After taking the blue buff and the gromp, he headed straight to the bottom lane, planning to make the fastest possible push!

Meanwhile, in the bottom lane, with no one interfering, Caitlyn and Lux ​​naturally focused all their skills on the minions.

Lux landed an E on all the minions, then triggered her passive one by one. After Caitlyn reached level two, she used Q to pierce three ranged minions, quickly clearing two waves of minions and slowly pushing the wave into the tower.

"Come on, come inside."

Ming Jing was particularly energetic at this moment. As long as he pressed someone, he seemed to be in much better condition. With a ping signal, the Glorious Policewoman rushed straight into the tower.

However, the two did not intend to directly initiate a tower dive. Instead, they walked behind the tower in front of Ashe, cutting off the third wave of minions and the Heimerdinger who followed them to the lane.

In just over two minutes, Beryl had already started the main quest called "Return to the First Tower"!

Despite the cheers from the audience, many people watching the scene expressed concern about EDG's arrogant behavior.

Although it may seem satisfying, it is indeed somewhat dangerous.

After all, the enemy's Hecarim arrived incredibly fast, even after clearing only two jungle camps. If the Hecarim surrounds them, the EDG bot lane will face a pincer attack, which is obviously not a good thing!
"But thankfully, JieJie's move came very quickly!" Wang Duoduo's voice was incredibly loud. "Are both sides going to start a 3v3 in the jungle in just three minutes?!"

Vi didn't even take the red buff; she charged in at just level two!
Beryl was extremely embarrassed at that moment.

We were originally planning to coordinate with our men to break through and return to the first tower.

Now that Wei Yi has come, is there no way to go back to the way things were?
The situation in the bottom lane is incredibly strange right now, with Deft's Ashe being solo-tanked under the tower.

EDG's three players managed to cut off the third wave of attacks.

Beryl's big head and Pyosik's men were pacing back and forth in the rear, clearly somewhat helpless.

And it's not over yet.

The three EDG players didn't seem to care about clearing the third wave of minions. Instead, they turned around and sneaked into the bottom jungle, where they started countering the Gromp!
This behavior truly baffled the audience.

What is this? To rebel in front of three people, is this a crime?
This is really arrogant and a bit too much.

But for EDG, this is actually a crucial move.

Ming Jing said at this moment, "If they don't punish them, then we'll leave."

“Okay.” Jie Jie nodded. “Stop when he has 500 HP left. He can’t possibly punish me.”

The first round of Gromp wasn't very tanky; it was almost instantly reduced to low health. JieJie used his E skill and immediately used E Smite to kill the Gromp with over 500 health. Pyosik's Centaur didn't dare to come up, as there was no chance of fighting back with Smite.

The Swamp Frog is a high-experience jungle monster. A combination of Blue Buff + Swamp Frog + Swamp Frog can allow a jungler to reach level three. This is a little-known fact, but as a professional jungler, JieJie knows it all too well.

As the Swamp Frog perished, a glow of upgrade light rose from Vi's body.

At this moment, EDG finally showed their true colors, with all three of them turning around and heading straight for DRX's first tower.

The arrival of the centaurs will not hinder their plan to tower dive.

Hecarim will definitely learn Q at level 1, and will most likely learn W at level 2, because by the time the jungler reaches level 2, the bot lane hasn't exploded yet.

The level 1 tanks are even less of a concern, as they only have turrets.

DRX's jungler and support are practically no threat whatsoever.

"They're here, are they still going to tower dive?"

Wang Duoduo's voice rose another notch, "The Frostbite skill is level two, but it doesn't seem to be very useful! It can't withstand the damage from three people!"

Meiko didn't hold back any skills. With enough range, Lux immediately used Q-Flash to initiate the root!

Mingjing was prepared and immediately followed the clamp.

Right now, Deft only has one path to take: use Cleanse to break free from the stun, then Flash to create distance.

Mr. Dai did indeed do just that.

Moreover, he played to the absolute limit. He waited until the female police officer's trap took effect and Vi charged up with her Q to deliver a punch before quickly using his DF combo and even tried to dodge Vi's fatal Q.

But JieJie was in top form today. He was well-prepared and even used Flash to follow up. Vi used Q-Flash to forcefully knock Ashe into the air!
After being knocked up, Vi used her A and E combo to break armor with three rings, and Lux ​​followed up with her E and E combo.

Policewoman Mingjing finished with a Q followed by a headshot.

Hanbing had no room to maneuver and her health bar was wiped out in one fell swoop!
"First blood!" (End of Chapter)
