You actually want me to...

[It's starting! The infinite bush system is here!]

[I was just thinking, what if this dragon soul is a fire dragon soul? Wouldn't that render Rengar useless? Good grief, he's really self-sufficient and self-reliant!]

[A mid-laner playing like a jungler, this game is going to be exciting.]

At this point, everyone understood TES's lineup.

Top lane Jayce, jungle Rengar, mid lane Ivern, bot lane Tristana and Gragas

This strategy is also a new skill they learned during their seclusion period. Its advantages and disadvantages are particularly obvious. The advantage is that while reviving the jungle carry strategy, it can also take advantage of the current version's AD carry equipment. It can also pose a great threat to RNG's two carries.

However, its drawbacks are also obvious.

Since this lineup is a counter-mod version, if an early disadvantage leads to a problem in a certain aspect, the margin for error for this lineup will drop to zero. Other factors will also have an impact, such as the Fire Dragon Soul terrain mentioned earlier.

Considering that TES was on the red side and at a disadvantage in this game, it's easy to understand why they chose to go all out with this lineup.

Since we're going to die anyway, why not fight?

"In this game, we can only focus on the top half of the jungle in the early game; the bottom lane is out of the question anyway." Roland gave JKL a heads-up while the game was loading.

"Huh? Why?"

"Have you forgotten what kind of disastrous moment happened when I played Gragas against the enemy Kai'Sa last time?"

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. Once it was brought up, everyone realized that the person who had been outmaneuvered by this guy last time was apparently the one on the other side. Having been tricked before, they probably wouldn't act impulsively again.

"But don't worry, I'm still confident I can pull off something big."

"seriously?"

"Don't worry, it's even more real than pearls."

I dare not speak for others, but Roland knows Gragas like the back of his hand.

We often say that when playing a hero, you should grasp its essence, not just its skills. In the entire LPL, the only one who dares to claim that he has mastered the essence of Gragas is him, who was once poisoned by drinking culture in his previous life.

Drinking alcohol can lead to kidney failure in one year, myocardial infarction in two years, cirrhosis in three years, and death in four years.

But he was different.

He really did get reborn, and he's 18 again! I just want to ask, who else can do that?!

Confrontation: Chapter Seventeen: The Less Popular the Game, the More Ruthless the Crush.

In this game, the bot lane can basically be ignored in the early game. Unless RNG's bot lane duo stubbornly insists on going up to trade summoner spells or kills, it's unlikely that a fight will break out. In other words, if RNG's bot lane suddenly becomes aggressive, then Roland really needs to consider whether the enemy jungler has shifted their focus to protecting the bot lane.

The key to this game lies in the top, mid, and jungle.

The Ivern-Rengar combo, when traced back to professional play, can be traced back to Sfom during his time with Snake Esports. It's not that this combination isn't strong, but if any one of its units is banned, it's doomed, and it places very high demands on the Ivern player.

the reason is simple.

At least half of the League of Legends players still don't understand the mechanics and gameplay of the champion Ivern. Many people even think that Ivern's only abilities are planting grass and using his ultimate to swap Daisy, and they have no idea about his other two skills.

Ivern's only crowd control ability, Q (similar to a hook skill, which allows you to follow teammates after hooking them), has a slow projectile speed.

In other words, this thing not only has low damage and unstable control, but it is also ridiculously weak in jungle combat. It is the kind of thing that no one would pick in ARAM. In the entire LoL, there is only one Ivern master in the Korean server who is climbing the ranks.

But what are his strengths?

This hero doesn't consume many resources, has extremely strong support capabilities, and due to his hero characteristics, his participation rate in team fights can be very high.

This is enough.

Controlling this not-so-skilled hero, Knight arrived in the mid lane and watched the enemy Galio slowly come online. He learned the E skill and began looking for opportunities to auto-attack.

The primary rune tree is Aery, and the secondary runes are Inspiration Biscuit and Insight. There's nothing else to it. The best way to quickly implement this strategy is to just copy it. When Roland got this strategy, he didn't even think twice before finding a top-tier Ivern player on the Chinese server and asking him for advice. In the end, he stole the strategy.

Don't underestimate these players who are masters of a single hero.

If someone wants to become famous, they can only keep developing their skills in depth. They know more tricks and tips than any popular science videos or software. Knight was completely dumbfounded when he heard that.

Oh, right, this guy is a ranged attacker.

Guozige's laning phase was already a bit rough, relying entirely on skills to push the lane. However, when facing Kngiht, who had maxed out his laning skills, he simply pulled the minion wave slightly with his shield, causing it to spread out. How could Galio possibly push then?

If you attack Aery, run away to draw aggro. If you don't run, he'll come up and use his shield to explode on you. The level 1 basic shield can absorb 80 points of damage, which is basically the same as the playstyle of Orianna level 1 with E. The difference is that Orianna can only cast a ball on herself, while he casts a shield on himself that can explode.

For a moment, Brother Guozi was completely stumped.

After all, who would have thought that TES would pull out a champion with the lowest win rate from their pockets, and that they would play him in the mid lane instead of the jungle or support role? He had never seen or faced him before.

Of course, this thing was only playable in the first half of Season 11, and the win rate was quite high, even reaching around 54%. But it was no longer viable in the second half of the year. This was because after the win rate of this thing in the support role increased in the second half of the year, the designers nerfed it several times. Daisy's ultimate could no longer heal after absorbing damage and leaving the battlefield. Daisy's attributes were also reduced. Her E shield was nerfed, and her W damage in bushes was nerfed.

So just watch for fun. After a few rounds of weakness, all the amazing guys with Ivy's skills turned into terminally ill guys overnight. Not to mention everyone else, whoever tries it will really become a laughing stock.

Even more outrageous is...

After Knight secured lane priority at level 2, he continued to skip learning Q and instead learned W to place enemies in bushes. He then began frequently using the auto-attack to move enemies into bushes and shift aggro. Although Ivern only had 53 base attack damage at level 2, don't panic. He started with a Doran's Blade, which added eight attack damage, for a total of 61 attack damage. This is equivalent to a level 1 Caitlyn without any items. Just watch how much damage I can do to you.

Watching Ivern dominate the mid lane, the viewers suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

Is Ivern dominating Galio?

Cryin, are you even capable?

The gap in mid-lane is just outrageous.

[That's normal. Guozi isn't a laner; he's a roaming support player.]

The question is, how can you roam if you can't control the lane?

[Once Galio levels up, things will be fine; Ivern doesn't have much wave clear.]

Of course, at this point, the audience was far from realizing the annoyance of Ivern's mid lane playstyle, but it also required leveling up before it could be used effectively. On the other hand, Haro, who had cleared the jungle in the lower half of the jungle and reached level three, directly chose to gank the mid lane head-on.

The method was also very crude.

Ivern throws a blade of grass from afar, and Rengar uses it to jump onto Galio and smash his face on the keyboard. After using his red-rage W to break Galio's W taunt, Rengar turns around, unleashes a combo, and then runs away.

Don't ask, it's just a passing gank.

Because Ivern's ability to place bushes from a distance can directly trigger Rengar's passive, this combination can almost always jump onto the enemy when the jungler comes to gank; the only difference is whether the damage is sufficient.

"Wow, that's a great spot for the grass, Knight. You're getting better and better at planting grass." After finishing the round, Haro couldn't help but marvel at how terrifyingly talented this guy was. The location of this patch of grass was actually a bit of a challenge; he had initially thought he wouldn't have enough distance to jump over.

"The talent of farmers, those who know, know, right?"

He really loves playing this hero.

Without the pressure of being a long-range champion, capable of taking on short-range opponents, and importantly, equipped with a shield, one can easily leverage their superior understanding of minion waves to gain an advantage in their lane.

then.

Walk straight up in front of the person opposite.

“MISS, Ivern went up with the jungler.”

"Huh? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I saw them heading towards the upper jungle."

Yes, that's the purpose of this selection.

I heard you like to grab things?

What a coincidence, we like it too, how about we catch them together on the way?

With the mid and jungler gone, Wei's Udyr wouldn't dare go to the top lane anymore. Their strength in the early game lies in outnumbering opponents, not in being outnumbered by others.

Follow Haro into the jungle.

Ivern was responsible for planting the blue buff and then returning to the mid lane to farm, while Harper would clear the wolves and the frog queen and then go directly to the top lane to help Jayce hold the line. The time wasted in between could be made up for by planting the blue buff with Smite, forcibly increasing the protection of the top lane by the upper jungle, allowing Ale's Jayce to perform better.

"This approach... is truly ingenious."

Off the field, one team after another watched TES play this top jungle style and couldn't help but admire them. This kind of thing really might not work against other teams, because other teams won't invest as much protection in their top lane. Like EDG right now, if you play this against them, you're just feeding. EDG in the S11 Spring Split were ruthless players who could pick Jayce top lane but still couldn't protect him even once.

But RNG is different; RNG is truly protecting their top laner!

Against TES's insane strategy, there's nothing you can do but tough it out. You can't just change your mind and try to protect the mid lane, can you? Galio in the mid lane is also just a utility player, not to mention the bot lane. You can't even hold onto Gragas and Tristana in the bot lane. If Udyr goes down there, there's only one outcome: a forced kill.

Another few minutes passed.

Just when RNG was planning to wait until level 6 to start making a move.

Irwin, level 5.

Confrontation: Chapter 18: Is this even allowed?

"Ha! I've reached level five!"

"Oh."

Seeing that Haro was busy planning his jungle route and had no time to pay attention to him, Knight thought of the Roland ganking method he had accidentally learned in ranked games. After thinking for a moment, he changed his tone and said, "I have wandered for half my life and only regret that I have not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather."

Ha Huang: ? ? ?

Roland, Ale, JKL: ? ? ? ? ? ?

Upon hearing Knight's voice, Ah Shui and the others instinctively tilted their heads toward Roland, as if asking if he had taught them this.

"Why are you looking at me? I have to recognize ten or eight godfathers every day I play ranked games. How would I know when he learned that? But Knight, you really lost out this time."

"Huh? Why?"

Upon hearing Roland say this, Knight suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Because I came from an orphanage, I'm not losing out at all that they're willing to be my godfather and my go-to fodder for arguments. But you're different; you're really losing out big time."

"???"

Is this even allowed?

Ah Shui gave his support a deep look. No wonder this guy always used the phrase "sacrifice your family to the heavens" to occupy the moral high ground when arguing with people in ranked games. So this is how you use your crazy obsession with your jungler?

You're really going to get yourself punished, kid.

It has to be said that although the tactic of acknowledging someone's father on the spot is a bit old-fashioned, it is undeniably effective. With his own mid-laner already being so humble, how could Haro possibly pretend not to hear?

"Wait for me, wait for me, I'll be right there."
