You actually want me to...

The main reason is that I haven't played Ivern mid a few times on weekdays, and I haven't played him much myself, which makes it easy for Haro to forget the strategies for playing this champion.

Level 5 Ivern has a passive ability.

That is, once he starts planting the grass buff, as long as there are teammates nearby, the buff can be shared between the two of them, which is called a shared buff.

With the cooperation of Harper and Knight.

A few seconds later, Guozige looked at the opposing mid-laner Ivern with the red buff and his eyes went blank, falling into despair.

"That mid laner on the other side is a real beast."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"He has a red buff, I dare not push him."

Most mid-lane players in the League of Legends often focus on the blue buff, since everyone is short on mana in the early game, and having the blue buff means having a certain degree of unlimited firing rights in the early game.

However, in this match where ranged players are fighting melee opponents, the red buff is even more powerful than the blue buff.

It's not just because of the burning effect, but also because of the slowing effect of the red buff.

To reiterate, don't be fooled by those Ekko pros who play Galio and think that mid-lane Galio is tanky, powerful, and capable of providing support. Before he gets his items, Galio's physique is just for show; even if he gets his items, it's useless if he doesn't build tank items.

Once Guozige's Galio chooses to tank Ivern's auto-attacks and push the lane, and Rengar comes to gank mid, Guozige won't be able to escape.

And what's even more infuriating is that...Kngiht actually started hoarding minions and blocking lanes at this time.

just disgusting.

Of course, Wei wasn't completely idle. Even though TES had perfectly controlled the upper jungle, he still managed to find an opportunity to gank the top lane and force Ale to use his Flash.

But now, he really couldn't go to the top lane to help anymore. As a jungler, when the mid laner is being maliciously blocked by the opponent, he has to go to help the mid laner clear the wave. Otherwise, Galio will be kept under the tower and will not be able to gank flexibly.

Just as Wei was about to set off, an even more monstrous scene unfolded.

After Haro's Rengar came out of the base again, he went crazy and bought a Tiamat without any buffs. He ran to the mid lane and cleared away the two waves of minions that Knight had been accumulating for half a day. Then he happily followed the mid laner and disappeared into the upper jungle.

Guozige: ...

Wei's guidance: ...

The audience in the live stream and at the venue: ...

"This...is this really Knight, the Golden Left Hand?"

"If he hadn't learned the art of disguise, I think it's probably possible."

The Haier Brothers exchanged glances, and then turned their attention to Zita. Of course, Zita was also speechless.

Why are you looking at me?

When I was a professional player, I never encountered such a monstrous team and strategy. Back then, having an AD carry in the top lane was considered a major weapon.

Despite inwardly despising these two seasoned veterans for shifting the blame onto him, he outwardly maintained a seasoned demeanor, saying, "This is actually somewhat similar to the previous Taric/Master Yi comp, but the Taric/Master Yi comp was nerfed and became unplayable, so TES switched to the Ivern/Rengar comp, which is..."

"What is it?"

"I don't really understand it either. The Gem Master and Sword Saint combo is about creating a rhythm once they have a big burst of power, but I haven't seen this combination even show any signs of them putting up their best yet."

Before Zz1tai could finish speaking, another conflict broke out on the map. Coincidentally, the initiator was none other than the Ivern-Lion Dog duo that Zz1tai had mentioned.

The target was clear: Wei, who was preparing to come to the mid lane to help clear the wave.

Many times, junglers fall into a misconception: when they know the enemy is going to gank, they keep thinking about which lane the enemy mid and jungle will gank, and in their suspicion, they become complacent about their actions.

Did TES know the enemy jungler was coming?

They definitely know.

Anyone with eyes can see that the mid laner needs the jungler's help to free up a wave, but the players involved don't realize that they are in a jungle area without any turrets.

"Meow~"

Just as Wei's Udyr peeked into the grass, gained control of the bushes, and discovered a ward at his feet, a patch of grass suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a place where there should obviously be nothing.

Oh no!

As soon as Wei's brain processed this information, a beautiful figure had already jumped up after him, even carrying a thin shield as she landed on him.

EAQW - Full Star E

As the burst of damage was unleashed, the fully-starred E skill was simultaneously applied, and only then did Knight's Ivern slowly emerge from the rather conspicuous bush, unleashing another Q skill on the immobilized Udyr.

A full 1.75 seconds plus 1.2 seconds of control was enough for the two of them to beat Udyr half to death.

This is because Udyr has a shield and his build focuses on tank items. If you change his build or use a different jungler, he can be controlled to death within those three seconds.

"bang"

Before the three seconds had even ended, the shield from Ivern's E skill suddenly exploded, and another 50% slow debuff was applied.

With grass under his feet, debuffs all over him, and it still a 2v1 situation with no teammates around to help, Wei simply gave up all his maneuvers and started to give up.

[TES_Haro kills RNG_Wei]

The "every bush and tree seems like an enemy" combination has begun to display its power.

Confrontation: Chapter Nineteen: Is there anything inside?

Holy crap?! This is possible?!

[Pitiful, weak, and helpless, but incredibly tough and capable of fighting.jpg]

To be fair, Rengar is weak only because there are only a few patches of bushes. If you give him enough bushes, how many melee champions could possibly outmaneuver him?

I can already foresee what will happen next.

It's called a "routine" because once it's fully developed, it can actually beat most mainstream strategies, and even the most popular strategies in a given version.

Udyr is strong enough, isn't he?

He's tanky, powerful, and has great mobility; even a two-on-one situation might not be enough to kill him.

But facing this combination, you can't escape, you can't fight back, and you can't even withstand their shields—it's incredibly frustrating. Furthermore, because of the jungler's death, Galio, who had finally cleared the minions in front of the tower in the mid lane, was immediately overtaken by Ivern and lost lane control again.

Don't worry about whether I can push you or not. I'm just asking you, when you're jungling and waiting for your base to respawn, do you dare to push me?

Knight's lane hoarding was particularly annoying. In order to match Rengar's rhythm as much as possible, so that Rengar could farm the mid lane by passing by while jungling, instead of having to make a special trip to the mid lane, he even gave up farming in the mid lane after seeing the minion wave pile up to a certain amount.

"This...beast!"

When this scene unfolded before the RNG members, they all felt a surge of anger well up inside them.

Is this something a human would do?

You're the Golden Left Hand!

This isn't the Tiger Ai Di from S8! Where's your dignity as a domestic champion mid laner?!

"It's okay, I'll roam with them later. We have a lot of AOE here, so it'll be harder for them to fight if we group up." After thinking for a while, the only thing Xiaoming could think of was to increase the intensity of the fights in the upper jungle. Otherwise, if things continued like this, it would be a real question whether they could hold out until the carries in the top and bottom lanes got ahead.

"Those two panel kings..."

"We don't have the energy to think about him anymore. We can't just let the enemy Jayce farm so comfortably, can we?"

Jayce is a really annoying pick for most LPL teams.

If you ignore him, he might get killed even in a 2v1 situation, and teams with Jayce top laners usually have teammates protecting him, making it incredibly difficult to engage. But if you don't protect him, a Jayce who has farmed normally in the mid-game can be wiped out with a single shot.

RNG is truly disgusted right now.

They're using tactics, which is understandable for a newly formed team; without them, they might not be able to hold their own. But for you guys, as last year's champions, that's a bit much, huh?

There's no way around it; it's because Roland came to TES that he directly corrupted Knight and the others.

As the saying goes, ten years of arduous cultivation is not as good as one day of falling into demonic possession.

After experiencing the benefits of various unconventional strategies, the entire TES team unhesitatingly chose the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Divine Sect. Don't ask why, the answer is simply to allocate skill points.

It was only when the opposing Xiaoming voluntarily abandoned his own AD carry and planned to go to the upper jungle to provide support that Roland's Gragas finally completed his transition from the second stage and prepared to engage in his third stage.

Roland referred to these three stages as the French-Afghanistan three-step process:

The first laning phase: With long range, you can poke and harass the opponent. If successful, you can slowly kill them; if unsuccessful, you will be overwhelmed by the opponent's aggressive gank in the bottom lane. Even if the outcome is mediocre, it's just a peaceful development for both sides, and as a mage support, you can gain a small advantage.

The second probing phase: After the first dragon, usually around level four or five, while helping to push the lane and reduce the enemy's health, accidentally clear one or two minions. Occasionally, let the AD carry roam around the bottom lane to observe the AD carry's reaction.

As for the third stage of turning against his own team: it was when the myth was released, and no one could compete with it! From then on, AD never saw his own ranged minions again.

Of course, Roland wouldn't be so ruthless in a match.

However, he still occasionally pulls off some tricks like taking all the F6 birds, attacking all the wolves, splitting the ranged units into three-seven splits, and sneaking over to intercept and steal minion waves when sending out vanguards.

Don't blame him, it's just that the team doesn't have much AP damage output.

As the team's only AP carry (Ivern is considered a support), Roland declared that it is our duty to restore the glory of AP carries.

The two sides engaged in a chaotic four-man skirmish in the top lane, with one side confident that they could unleash maximum AOE control and follow up with explosive team fights to turn the tide. The other side, with a slight early advantage in the top, mid, and jungle, attempted to gradually chip away at the enemy's strength and ultimately achieve a major comeback against the disadvantaged red side.

However... RNG underestimated the power of certain heroes in the hands of TES's lineup.

Just as Xiaoming set off from home and headed straight up the road, Wei's exclamation immediately reached the ears of the entire RNG team in their team voice chat, startling him so much that he quickly asked:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Grass...grass..."

"What the heck? What's this that's so weird?"

"No, I mean, there's really a lot of grass growing here."

"???"

Completely unable to understand what Wei was saying, Ming simply zoomed in on the minimap and saw that in the upper jungle, there were three clumps of grass that clearly shouldn't be there, irregularly placed on the walls on both sides.

"Holy crap!? That's really hilarious..."

"Right? I told you this place was overgrown with grass, but you didn't believe me at first."

These three patches of grass scared Wei so much that he didn't dare to approach the upper part of the river even once.

You have to understand that he doesn't have any ranged skills to check if there are any dirty things in the bushes. What if he blindly walks over and two burly men suddenly jump out of the bushes?

but...

If you don't go through the river, firstly, you don't know if anyone is attacking the Rift Herald, and secondly, if you don't go there, you can't form a siege against Jayce in the top lane. It's the shortest distance that you can clearly see, but it feels like it's so close yet so far.
