You actually want me to...

Since you didn't decide to create trouble around the top lane, and didn't help the top lane clear the pressure with the draft, but you continued to give champions like Flandre Jayce that draw people's hatred, aren't you just bullying honest people?

Don't think it's an exaggeration; EDG played like this until the semifinals of the S11 Summer Playoffs.

They just wanted to disgust Flandre and the audience.

The current TES lineup needs a character who can instantly dive in and initiate team fights, while also providing lane control and threat. They don't need to be tanky or have high damage output, but they at least need to have some crowd control.

Many people immediately think of Luo.

But TES's last two picks were: Nightmare + Shen.

"This is... a forced initiation, no! A support play?"

"Wow. So EDG's entire strategy is wrong now. TES isn't going to fight in the bottom half of the map, they're going to fight in the top half of the map instead!?" When he saw those two heroes appear, even the guest Zz1tai, a former professional player, couldn't help but gasp.

It's common knowledge that EDG doesn't like to protect their top laner at this stage.

The fact that Nightmare has an advantage against Jayce is something many people don't know. At this point in time, Nightmare even had a 57.61% win rate against Jayce on OPGG. Basically, if one side has a win rate greater than 55%, it's a complete victory.

Should we start a group?

Nightmare's dribbling was pretty ruthless, wasn't it?

Shen's E-Flash is at best a lottery ticket; if you get it right, you make a fortune, but if you don't, it's not a big deal.

The key points are Shen's ultimate ability's support capabilities and his W skill's sword array; these two are the most powerful. The ultimate can completely isolate EDG's top jungle, while the sword array can prevent EDG's bottom, jungle, and support from dealing damage for two seconds, effectively making them immune to physical attacks.

In contrast, the ability to engage during the laning phase is not as important as people imagine; as long as you can engage, that's enough.

Shen's actions directly disrupted EDG's entire strategic plan.

EDG, who originally wanted to achieve a double poke system by picking Zoe, had to temporarily pick Galio for Scout as a remedy, making the entire lineup look awkward and unbalanced.

This is the end.

TES: Top lane Nocturne, Jungle Udyr, Mid lane Orianna, Bot lane Draven + Kidney

EDG: Top lane Jayce, Jungle Olaf, Mid lane Galio, Bot lane Tristana + Ryze

Game start.

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

PS: I've finally finished writing 50,000 words in five days. This awful February, it's really hard to write this much without the intensity of a full-time game.

PS2: I recently asked a friend to help me set up a small screen for my computer to have dual monitors. He also upgraded the RAM from 8GB to 16GB, and the computer immediately became smoother. To be honest, the dual-screen experience is really comfortable. It only costs a few hundred yuan. If you can afford it, you should consider giving it a try.

Confrontation: Chapter Forty-Five: Warriors of Love

As soon as the game started, Roland skillfully set up defensive wards in the jungle, because they couldn't win at level one.

Faced with this super aggressive early-game composition of Olaf, Tristana, and Ryze, EDG is very likely to try to trade jungle camps. Fortunately, TES sent their top laner, Ale, back first, while the other four players stayed to block the enemy from entering.

Although, in principle, it's pretty stupid to have three physical melee level 3 towers with more kidneys.

But what if?

EDG is now backed into a corner, and who knows what desperate things they might do? Sure enough, Roland and his team soon discovered the EDG group preparing to invade their jungle, and the four of them immediately showed up and shut them down.

We absolutely cannot go in one by one, thinking about Tibetans or something.

If you don't want to fight, you should reveal everyone as quickly as possible, showing the other side how many brothers you've brought. Just like those small-time thugs in fourth or fifth-tier cities who have watched too many gangster movies, when you see them arranging a fight with dozens of people on each side, they're mostly just putting on a show for each other, exchanging a few words of trash talk before dispersing.

Those who actually fight usually send out one or two to lure you in, and then they'll just knock you out with a stick once you're hooked.

Ok.

In a sense, the one who teased your physical desires and then cut off your kidney was also of this type.

Seeing that TES was willing to sacrifice the experience of their mid laner Orianna in order to protect their jungle, EDG naturally didn't dare to go head-to-head. They could still have some fun if they outnumbered each other, but if it really turned into a 4v4 fight and Draven picked off an easy target, it was very likely that Draven would replicate the one-hit kill of Faker from back then, or the one-hit kill of Rongguang from the book.

"These guys must have grown up drinking Cornetto, right? They want to swap jungle camps with us?"

"Maybe they grew up drinking preservatives."

"Huh? You can drink that stuff?"

"Absolutely! As the saying goes, I drink beverages with preservatives, and they enhance my memory. I drink it in the morning, send it to the toilet at noon, and discard it in the incinerator in the afternoon. It's healthy and environmentally friendly. Even Masala isn't as exciting as this stuff."

After teasing their own AD carry, Roland and JKL once again entered their familiar laning rhythm—being in jail.

Nothing.

What kind of bot lane is that?

The combination of Little Cannon and Rui'er makes them tanky, powerful, and good at pushing lanes.

What is our bottom lane?

This support Shen should either learn Q or E at level 1, because he's afraid the enemy jungler will actually come down to tower dive at level 3, so he hasn't put any skill points into them at this point. Anyway, it's unlikely that a fight will break out in the early game, so he might as well hold onto his skills.

In case of danger, Level 2 players can learn QW tower dive maneuvers at any time.

If there's no danger, learning EQ at level 3 and going for a showy play isn't out of the question.

There's no way around it. If you choose to play in the top jungle, then you have to pay a certain price in the bottom lane. Not every game can have everything in the early game, just like everyone's mindset.

Pretty girls are everywhere.

Homebody girls are also found all over the country.

The number of women who enjoy playing games or cosplaying is actually increasing over time.

However, female otaku who like games and cosplay and are also good-looking are as rare as pandas. Even if they exist, they will have a flaw that is hard for you to accept, which is that they don't like you.

Painful realization.

Seeing Roland's cautious playstyle, even preferring to sacrifice health for experience rather than learn skills, Meiko felt quite helpless.

There was no chance.

Because the opponent is currently the strongest initiation support in the LPL, he understands even better how to completely deny the opponent any chance to engage him.

EDG can only pressure, but not kill, which prevents them from getting any kills. This is fatal because EDG's lineup doesn't have a late-game carry. Their only late-game champion is Viper's Tristana, unlike TES which has Orianna and Draven. That makes things much simpler.

If they want to win, the only strategy they can use is to play like a velociraptor.

The foundation of the Raptors is that the bottom lane must have absolute lane control and absolute advantage, and that's where they're stuck.

"Does the bot lane need help?"

"No need. As long as I don't learn any skills, they won't dare to cross us easily. Ah Shui is quite clever. If I'm not mistaken, you've equipped double life steal this time?"

"You do have some good taste."

Not only do supports need to flexibly adjust their talents according to the situation on the field, but ADCs also generally need to. Although in regular ranked games, no matter what talents you choose, you will still be killed in team fights, you can use this talent to make your laning phase more comfortable.

What if your own father is more ruthless than the other father?

If the game drags on into the mid-to-late game, you'll have someone you can bully at will—like the enemy ADC.

If the bottom lane can't break through, then the only thing jiejie can think of is to go to the mid lane to free up Galio first, and then look for opportunities for the jungler and support to gank and force a tower dive, to get some real action first.

only...

Just as jiejie's Olaf turned around, preparing to gank the mid lane, TES's jungler, Haro, was one step ahead, charging out from the front and forcing out Galio's E and W. He then took Galio's taunt and Q skill before gracefully leaving.

This whole operation completely stunned Jiejie.

"Good forcing him back, so he still remembers this move." Looking at the mid and jungle players whose rhythm was disrupted on the screen, Clearlove was both impressed by Haro's growth and criticizing Jiejie for his lack of experience. This move is a common technique used by the old jungler, Harden.

I feel like the other team might come after me, but I also know that counter-ganking won't kill them and will only waste time.

So what should I do?

Hey, I'll come out on my own to force your mid laner to use their movement skill, and then I'll run away.

Either you, as a jungler, use your explosive rhythm to trade for your ten-second cooldown, or you obediently come back to the jungle with me and return to the embrace of the jungle god.

Would Jiejie dare to gamble?

If he were the player who had played against WE and earned a promotion, he would have dared to do so. But now, he's just a newcomer who hasn't been with the team for long. Is this something he can decide for himself?

"No, which team are you on?"

"Don't say that. Haro is also a jungler who came from our team. To put it another way, he could even be considered an illegitimate child born out of wedlock?"

"Get the hell out of here."

Abu playfully shoved the factory manager, his gaze becoming increasingly complex as he watched the video again.

Ultimately, EDG is also a warrior of love.

EDG has consistently provided resources to various teams in the league, fostering youth training and supporting systems for the entire league. Although there were many chaotic and turbulent events before S8, it is worth mentioning that if newcomers were to have the freedom to choose which team to join, setting aside external factors such as money, EDG would undoubtedly be the place where they are most likely to make a name for themselves.

Just like Miyazaki, nobody would have guessed that this guy was also a warrior of love. L for making contact, O for the ring of destiny, V for praising the sun. Only an E is missing (doge).

Confrontation: Chapter 46: They Won, But They Lost

Shen's support capabilities greatly alarmed EDG, and Draven, being a champion inherently unpredictable, led jiejie to focus most of his attention on the bot lane. He was constantly thinking about ganking and using Flash, or tower diving for kills. Even Scout in the mid lane frequently showed signs of heading bot. EDG practically made their intention to gank bot lane blatantly obvious.

"This Olaf, does he have to be so treacherous?"

"Suddenly I realize that picking Shen isn't entirely useless. If it weren't for your sword formation, you might have already been outmaneuvered twice by now." Frowning, JKL was also puzzled by EDG's tough stance.

"So, my choice of heroes is always well thought out, okay?"

"Don't give me that."

Seeing the opponent's restless appearance, Roland's mind was already racing with ways to break the deadlock. Since it was inevitable that the opponent would gank bot lane, and Draven wasn't an AD like Ezreal who could easily abandon the minion wave, then... he might as well just disrupt the situation directly.

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt as if everything had returned to the time when he first started playing professionally.

then.

"Hey, Ah Shui."

"Let it go if you fart."

"If you're going to take a gamble, are you confident you can drag one or two others down with you?"
