You actually want me to...

"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on things. Once the minion wave is over, I'll come and help you find a better position."

Karsa understood that their lineup's power spike was at level six. Once they reached level six, their mid-jungle synergy and long-range sniping in the bot lane were unmatched by UOL's lineup.

With the Prince in the bottom lane, UOL's bot lane gained lane control. Heimerdinger and Ziggs immediately joined up with the Prince at the dragon pit and secured the first elemental dragon.

In response, the TES players made absolutely no move to compete for it.

【Seriously? They're allowing this too?】

[TES may seem strong, but they're really playing against the meta; they were the only team in the entire group stage who prioritized dragons over other objectives.]

The main problem is that the jungler needs to help the mid laner, so they can't come down to the bottom lane.

Sigh, another dragon was lost for nothing.

As the group stage progressed, various content creators on the sidelines were also reviewing the games, which gradually broadened the thinking of many players and made them understand the importance of elemental dragons in this version.

However, TES's decision was indeed correct.

The combination of Bomber and Inventor may not seem to offer a significant power spike after level six, but in reality, if TES's bot lane duo fails to reach level six first, the opposing bot lane duo can easily dive their bot lane tower.

Prince's ultimate is a whole basket of abilities, Ziggs' ultimate is followed by Heimerdinger's enhanced W.

Don't give me that nonsense about EQ pushing away or Flash dodging. Even if they only managed to get a Flash in the first wave and didn't get any kills, would they still dare to defend that tower?

If you don't defend, the enemy's tower-destroying combo will become effective.

After taking down the bottom lane, they take down the top lane, and after taking down the top lane, they take down the bottom lane. With the explosive mechanism of Ziggs' W skill, TES can never keep up with the speed at which the opponent takes down towers, and can only watch helplessly as the opponent's economy gradually takes the lead.

But if you defend, and then the enemy team makes another push down the bottom lane to take both the tower and the enemy, even if it's just a 2-for-2 trade, it's still a win.

When choosing a team composition, you need to consider the overall situation; when choosing a technology, you need to consider teamwork. A single hero in a particular lane cannot carry the entire game. Before S5, there might have been a possibility of a protagonist in a novel winning a game by taking on nine opponents, but in the current S10, everyone is basically playing with their cards on the table.

When is my power spike? What makes my lineup strong? How can I force you into small-scale team fights? And how can I maximize my gains? That's what strategy is all about.

The biggest change in League of Legends over the past 10 years is that it has gradually transformed from a game that relies purely on reaction and skill to one that requires strategic thinking to win. The days when learning a simple trick like a lightning-fast QA could easily climb the ranks are gone. Now, you can even see players manipulating minion waves and exploiting experience spikes in Silver rank.

What else can be said?

It can only be said that the game has become more complex, with more strategic maneuvering, but at the same time, it has become more tiring to play.

TES will definitely not contest the first dragon, but by the same token, if your jungler, support, and two others waste time trying to secure the dragon, then TES will naturally reach level six first.

After level six, Casa will have his chance to make a move.

Sublimation: Chapter Twenty: What kind of technological dominance is this?

At this moment on the field, mid laner NOMANZ was undoubtedly the happiest one. Just think, who were the mid laners standing in front of him, getting crushed under their towers?

ESPN's No. 1 mid laner

Number one on the list of S-series champion players

ESPN Top 20 Player Ranking #1

Yamato's favorite mid-lane player

Knight9, the last hope for the next generation of mid laners in the LPL.

See? These honors are like stacking buffs on TM. In the year that Faker didn't qualify, Knight himself represented the world's number one team in terms of prestige at the time.

However, he overlooked one thing.

Even if it's "World No. 1 High School", he will still call for people.

Just as UOL secured the Elemental Dragon, Karsa's Lee Sin, after stealing the enemy's six raptors, successfully reached level six, immediately placed a ward, used ward hop and flash, and kicked Lucian away. As a dotted line appeared in the void, Yasuo's hidden DNA was instantly awakened.

As the saying goes.

The dotted line you kicked with your toes is my unwavering faith at this moment.

After writing Lee Sin's name into the family tree overnight, Knight first used EQ to build up 10% of his passive, and then suddenly followed up with his ultimate R skill just as Lucian was about to land.

"Wow, so much profit! So much profit too!"

Once the control is established, the damage is dealt.

The advantage of the Lee Sin and Yasuo combo lies in the reliable synergy and control between their ultimate abilities. As long as Lee Sin is at a sufficient distance to unleash his R, Yasuo will almost always be able to follow up with his own abilities. They don't need to do much more; just two ultimates are enough to take away nearly half of Lucian's health, and the remaining damage can be easily finished off.

Since they are all heroes with mobility skills, they are not afraid that you can escape. Under such an unsolvable combo, Lu Xian could only painfully give up his first time.

First Blood!

First blood secured.

【666666】

[Kasa is still brilliant; that flank through the wall completely stunned the enemy.]

[They have the Vanguard now, level 6 against level 5, and the enemy team is all in the bottom lane.]

[It's safe now, as long as the bot lane doesn't die, it's all good.]

As for Roland in the bottom lane, he wasn't stupid. He followed JKL and used all his skills to clear the minions. After that, he just ran away in a yo-yo. To be on the safe side, he even ran all the way to the second tower before recalling. In short, he didn't give the opponent any chance.

"Nice, you guys can take the Vanguard this time, we're recalling."

"Okay, then wait a bit and hold your ground while I look for an opportunity to put the Rift Herald in the top lane." TES's strategy was extremely clear this game. With both teams having two AP champions, UOL's bot lane was weaker than TES's in the late game because Roland and JackeyLove had much longer range.

Long arms represent having the initiative and an advantage.

Whether or not TES has the ability to initiate team fights determines whether they can turn their advantage into a victory. In this regard, it is very necessary to develop their weapon.

The hero Jax is unstoppable except for being ganked by version patches. Once he gets farmed up, he becomes the father of all other heroes.

AP bot lane?

They'll hang you right off the streetlight.

"Don't worry, don't you know who we are in the bottom lane? The legendary 'Steady Sticks of the Rift' refers to my brother and me."

The remaining three members of TES: ......

In a sense, they couldn't really refute Roland's statement, because the two men's reputations were indeed widespread. From Svalbard to Ushuaia, their infamy was known to everyone.

only...

Just when everyone thought that TES's bot lane duo would play cautiously, Roland pulled JackeyLove and quietly circled around from the jungle to above the dragon pit. While taking out the Blast Cone, they activated their scanner and slowly made their way into the enemy jungle.

This action naturally attracted the commentator's attention.

"Hmm? What are TES's bot lane duo up to this time?"

"I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

"Please feel free to speak."

"Perhaps they're planning to ambush the enemy bot lane?"

Looking at the route that was almost etched into their souls, Wawa and Miller instantly recalled a few years ago when League of Legends had just come out, and they would always do the same thing when playing against bots with random players: sneak up on the red side's bottom lane tri-bush.

In fact, they did exactly that.

In Roland's plan, after the prince takes the dragon, he will definitely clear a jungle camp, level up to six, and go back to the top jungle to protect the top laner who gets tower-dived. Meanwhile, the mid laner has just been killed and is in a hurry to return to his lane to clear the wave. As for Camille in the top lane, she has her own top and jungle keeping an eye on her.

Therefore, UOL's bot lane is currently at its most vulnerable.

As expected... since it was an AP vs. AP matchup, UOP's bot lane had to prioritize using their limited gold on AP or mana regeneration runes, so their vision control in the bot lane wasn't very comprehensive, allowing TES's bot lane duo to successfully flank into the red side's bushes.

Then, wait quietly.

"To be honest, this approach feels a bit like going back to square one."

"That's not the case. This strategy is still frequently used even after Season 10, although the players might not be at that high rank."

"Isn't it?"

"Just ask Saint Gun Bro, what jungler is the most feared when playing top lane." Upon hearing this, Saint Gun Bro instantly understood which hero it was. If it was that one, players who held a grudge might actually stick to that one strategy until they died, especially when she appeared in the top lane as the Desert Spider.

Although the method is a bit old, it is still extremely useful.

UOL's bot lane duo never expected the opponent to ambush them in that position; they simply assumed the opposing bot lane duo had lost their minds and gone to control the Rift Herald in the upper jungle.

In this situation, they were overjoyed and had no time to think about anything else.

Then...

Syndra's EQ combo stunned him instantly, and Xerath followed up with a full combo after he was stunned. Don't underestimate the damage of support Xerath, especially his W, which deals double damage in the center of the area. If all his skills hit, he can even kill someone with his own damage alone.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Bomber and the Great Inventor were clearly caught off guard. Most notably, Roland and Ah Shui had premeditatedly targeted the Great Inventor first, preventing him from unleashing his enhanced E's control effect.

AHAHACIK stared blankly at the empty health bar on the screen.

Beside him, the support boss wasn't faring much better. Although his remaining skills weren't enough to kill him instantly, Xerath still had his ultimate ability. Looking at the laser field that had been forced to spread out beneath his feet, the Bomber was on the verge of tears.

He plays with lasers, and I play with cannons?

This is a level 6 civilization beating up a level 5 civilization?

Referee, I want to report someone for cheating!

Sublimation: Chapter Twenty-One: I Discovered the True Meaning of Games.

In fact, once TES's bot lane gains an early advantage, UOL's game becomes very difficult. This has little to do with the players' form, but rather with the level of the region.

Are there no strong players in the world outside of the LCK and LPL regions?

That's definitely not the case.

For example, in FPS games, the dominant position has never been in China. Can you say that there are no talented people abroad? That's definitely not true.

So where did the problem lie?

The difference lies in the vast difference in talent and environment among players from other regions.

In 17, LPL professional teams were rated to train for 10 hours a day. After failing to advance to the semifinals, they changed their average training time to 14 hours a day. Yes, I'm talking about RNG.

Even so, these were still some of the more hardworking teams in the LPL back then.

And what about LCK?

The average daily training time is 15-16 hours. If they come up with a good "black technology" lineup, they will even wake up the sleeping players in the middle of the night to train.

Okay, let's look back at the outer regions.
