Integration: Chapter Seventy: I would call it a pinpoint demolition tactic

The battle between the two teams often begins before the match even starts.

TES had studied IG, or to put it another way: IG has always used the same tactics, never changing. Therefore, today they capitalized on IG's assumption that TheShy would have a comfortable time in the top lane, and thus pre-determined that the opponent would pick Lucian.

A normal coach would understand this, but IG hasn't had a normal coach since S8, so there's no solution.

Jayce is a champion who can exert offensive pressure. He is a champion who needs to gain an advantage in lane and can simply go invisible when he is at a disadvantage. Moreover, if you want to target him when he doesn't have Flash, you can definitely do so.

but!

Against Lucian, Jayce was under no pressure because the pressure from the opposing team was much greater. With Lucian as the top laner and two utility players in the mid and jungle, if IG's rhythm faltered even slightly in the early game, the match would quickly fast forward to the GG phase.

Therefore, the early laning phase in the mid lane is crucial.

If Twisted Fate can suppress Sylas in lane and successfully help the top lane gain an advantage with his first ultimate at level six, then IG's early game rhythm will be stable.

The reverse is also true.

As a seasoned mid-laner, Rookie may have been declining in his professional career, but he is not someone that Knight can easily challenge at this stage. When Knight tried to pull the minion wave, Rookie simply forced Knight into a different position and successfully thwarted him.

The goal is for Twisted Fate to reach level three with Sylas. By blocking the ranged minions outside the tower, Sylas will be harassed every time he comes to last-hit. If the ranged minions go inside, the tower will help Sylas clear the wave. In this case, Sylas, who reaches level three first, can successfully counter Twisted Fate's level two and regain the tempo.

Can Knight get the wave in? Obviously not. If he were to do it, and the wave got in, his health would be almost gone by then.

But he can't do it; someone else can.

"Dongguai Dongguai, please reply if you receive this, please reply if you receive this."

"Dongguai received, please provide instructions."

"This is Dongyao, in front of the outer tower, scale 370, requesting fire support."

"Received hole number 1, block 21, scale 370, first air support is ready."

"3...2...1!"

"emission!"

As the countdown ended, a circular magic circle quietly lit up in front of the tower's minion wave, and then, after a brief delay... it exploded instantly!

W [Empire Vision]

With a level 1 attack range of 5500 yards, even when pushed under his own bottom lane tower, Roland can control his attack range with subtle positioning and then successfully direct his firepower to the mid lane minion wave.

With the landing of this skill, the chicken was completely stunned.

"Holy crap, that guy on the other side is cheating!"

"Huh? What happened?" Ning, who was still farming jungle monsters, glanced at the mid lane. He didn't see the enemy jungler coming over. The mid lane matchup was going well, so how did things go wrong?

"I was controlling the lane perfectly well, but the enemy support used his W skill and my lane collapsed."

"But isn't he in the bottom lane?"

The Nanfu duo glanced at the opposing bottom lane duo, who were completely integrated with the tower, and then at the empty mid lane in the middle of the map. They were filled with questions.

This is the difference between having research and not having research.

EZ's Swain can't beat or push Ashe and Nautilus in the early game, so it's a certainty that the bot lane will be stuck in a bad lane. But then another question arises: with all of this suppressed, is it still necessary for Swain to throw his skills into his own bot lane?

Totally unnecessary.

Since it's all about farming under the tower anyway, and there's no need to worry about the enemy jungler ganking the tower early on, why don't I just help the mid laner?

If one shot doesn't work, try two; if two shots don't work, try three.

If your hero can dodge, there's no reason why your minions should dodge too, right? Faced with a target that was like a stationary target, Roland said that he would just take over lane control and that would be enough.

With this coordinated attack, Knight's Sylas was successfully freed up.

Watching the long-distance interaction on the big screen, Roland's crows became even more dangerous. Viewers might not notice this detail, but for the coaches of each team, it was truly deadly.

Lane control in the mid lane is a very important thing.

Especially in this era where every mid laner is a gem: IG's Rookie, EDG's Xuedi, RNG's Xiaohu, SN's Black Angel, JDG's Yagao, TES's Zuo Shou, V5's Xiao Dongbei, OMG's Leng Shao, almost every team's mid laner is a god-tier mid laner, each one more ruthless than the last.

This small boost from the support might not have much impact in other regions, but in the LPL, it's truly overpowered.

"That's why I've always disliked players who have amazing skills on the field."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. They're top laners, after all. Maybe next time we should teach those 'admissions officers' a thing or two. For example, when recruiting mid laners, they should look for junglers who can switch roles, and when recruiting top laners, they should look for AD carries who can switch roles."

"Forget it, this kind of weirdo only comes along once every few years. If we really use this tactic, the team probably won't even make the playoffs." With a sigh, Redmi looked back at the big screen with a helpless expression.

He really wants to try his hand at this kind of all-purpose card.

The moment Sylas reached level three with the help of his support, the situation in the mid lane was reversed. Rookie, who had previously dared to cross the river to pressure Knight, now actively distanced himself and stood in front of his own tower, becoming one with it.

Once the route is cleared, the radar will start.

Ning was suspected of tanking in the S10 Summer Split. The biggest evidence is his Lee Sin performance, which can be interpreted as Ning focusing more on team fights but less on rhythm and details.

If you reduce your investment, it just so happens to be what I'm best at, so why wait?

Just hack it and that's it.

Graves was intentionally picked to counter Trundle. With lane priority in the mid lane, Karsa could mindlessly invade the enemy jungle.

As for the top lane, TheShy currently has lane control.

But do you dare to send reinforcements?

In a 3v3 situation, TES is stronger than their opponents, and their grouping speed is also faster. Jayce might be hampered by the minion wave not arriving as quickly as Lucian, but Jayce has a long range.

I may not be able to get here as fast as you, but I can fire my cannon faster, so that's all that matters.

After careful consideration, IG abandoned the idea of ​​engaging in team fights. Ning took the initiative to leave the upper jungle, gave up the top lane river crab, and moved to the bottom lane where he had lane priority.

That's good now.

With the troll gone, the entire upper jungle of Summoner's Rift fell into Karsa's hands, and TheShy no longer dared to push.

[Outrageous, Prince Ning just released him like that?]

[That depends on your question, mid laner. If Twisted Fate doesn't have lane priority, how can the jungler contest the river crab? With love?]

[A jungler said, "When I see my top laner pick an AD carry and my mid laner pick a utility champion with no lane priority, I already start to concede."]

【Isn't there still a bot lane?】

Bottom lane? I'd rather raise a char siu than an Ashe.

For IG right now, the only way to regain momentum is through Twisted Fate's first ultimate at level six. If they fail to make any impact with that ultimate, the initiative will completely fall into TES's hands, which is something they cannot accept.

The game has begun.

Intermingling: Chapter Seventy-One: Greed (One of the Seven Deadly Sins)

"I'm six."

"Then, Xuanjun, be careful, they will most likely target you in the first wave."

"Huh? Why do I feel like I can kill anyone I want right after flying down?"

"Impossible, their bot lane doesn't have enough damage." After glancing at both teams' lineups, Roland wasn't worried at all about the enemy diving the bot lane. With Ashe and Nautilus's damage in the early game, even if they got hooked, they wouldn't be able to kill them in one combo. Keep in mind that the mid laner is level six while the bot laner is only level four. Without the threat of their ultimates, the enemy bot lane simply can't dive the bot lane.

After hearing Roland's words, TES's top, mid, and jungle players immediately began to make changes.

Jayce started using his abilities to clear minion waves from a distance, trying to prevent the enemy from accumulating too many minions. Karsa started moving upwards, while Knight kept a close eye on the enemy's Twisted Fate.

When playing Sylas, you don't need to immediately steal the opponent's ultimate when you reach level six.

Strictly speaking, Twisted Fate's ultimate ability can only serve as a support ability and does not improve his own combat power. Stealing it too quickly will only make him a target for the enemy to gank.

But it's different if you keep it.

If the jungler comes to gank you, you can steal their ultimate and throw it back at them. You'll likely survive the enemy mid and jungle.

Therefore, the normal strategy is: unless you need to go home, or it is obvious that the opponent intends to leave, or you know that your side is about to launch an attack, it is recommended to hold onto your ultimate skill and not rush to steal.

Knight only managed to steal Twisted Fate's ultimate and recall after pushing the mid lane minion wave completely through the enemy's minion wave.

"I'm home."

"Understood." As soon as Knight spoke, Flandre readily abandoned his title of Son of the Tower and started walking backwards. He only started AFK when he reached the area near the self-isolation bushes, ready to transform into the Son of the Grass at any time.

The veteran's demeanor is immediately apparent.

This Jayce's anti-gank awareness is ridiculously bad.

[Top laners with "oil" in their name, please understand.]

[TheShy really struggles against top laners like this. Back when Letme was still playing, he also managed to force a 50/50 matchup against his opponents using the same tactics.]

[Why do I get the feeling... that TES picked Jayce as a tradeable pick?]

While the chat was still discussing, TES took the initiative. Sylas, after leaving his base, headed straight for the bottom lane and, together with Graves who had positioned himself earlier, wreaked havoc in the bottom lane.

As the card effects slowly accumulated behind them, the Nanfu duo lost their composure.

"Is the enemy team crazy? They have Jayce and you're not helping Jayce, you're ganking bot instead?"

"Can you come?"

"They can't come. There are four of them, and your seats are too bad."

"Then fly up, force it!"

With no other choice, seeing the opposing team targeting their bot lane like this, Rookie and Ning could only forcefully use their ultimates to gank Jayce. However, because Flandre had positioned himself in the bushes beforehand, IG had to use two Flashes in this attempt to kill Jayce, almost losing everything.

In contrast, TES's bot lane is a different story.

You're an AD carry with no mobility or ultimate, and even if I give you a 40-yard head start, you still can't escape. Roland, with his Raven, doesn't even consider skill accuracy when trying to keep someone in place; his E and W skills are purely placed where you might flash, it's all about luck.

Graves and Sylas leisurely secured the kills on the Nanfu duo only after chasing them to their turret.
