You actually want me to...

How do you mix things up?

With three green beans at the start, the talent points are Undying - Shield Bash - Second Wind - Overgrowth, and the secondary runes are Biscuit Delivery + Time Warp Tonic. Do you think he's going to lane against you?

No, his goal is to go to the top lane and completely control the wave.

If you poke me, and I can sustain the damage, then I'll just hold off a small wave of minions. As the player with the advantage, the captain must consider pushing the wave to the tower as quickly as possible before returning to base to upgrade equipment. That's where the problem lies.

Your team composition revolves around the bottom lane in the early to mid-game. How do you, as the jungler, ensure the top lane's safe push?

The lane is coming, but we can't push it in. The jungler comes here, and the captain is like an ATM.

The laner comes over, the jungler comes over, and the top lane pushes. If your bot lane Ziggs doesn't get help, you won't be able to gain an advantage, which will lead to the collapse of the entire system. After all... no one really thinks that WE's bot lane duo can beat TES's bot lane duo in terms of laning alone, right?

This is an improvement in Da Huang's thinking.

In nearly a month of training matches, he had been thoroughly honed by teams from various regions. Since I don't have the ability to dominate a lane and create an advantage, I'll try a different approach: how about I change my playstyle to annoy your jungler?

As it turns out, it is feasible.

Huang, who originally transitioned from jungle to top lane, was extremely familiar with the timing and habits of the jungler position. He instantly transformed into a male mentor who was well-versed in human nature, using various methods to time-manipulate and disrupt the minion wave to annoy the opponent.

Okay, here's the question.

Now, Dahuang is clearly relying on the recovery card to stand here and chat. So, are you going to go up and push, or just watch from afar?

Clearly, Breathing Bro isn't the type to back down. Given that TES's lineup revolves around the bottom lane, he's probably roaming the bottom jungle right now. He's seen this kind of opportunistic play from top laners way too many times.

As a result of this forward movement, Ha Huang and Da Huang's expressions immediately lit up.

"Holy crap, this guy's a greenhorn."

"I originally thought that at this point in the game, there wouldn't be any more wise top laners, but it seems I overthought it." As he spoke, Ha Huang quickly circled around and cut off the captain's escape route.

That's basically how junglers are.

On one hand, he praises himself for not killing the person, and on the other hand, he finds reasons to reward himself for performing a ritual to help someone pass on to the afterlife, just like a certain compassionate and merciful Xiao Zizai.

As soon as the Broken King surrounded him, Breathing Bro went numb.

Is he sick in the head?

Instead of protecting your bot lane's super carry, Aphelios, you're ganking top lane? Do you even know how to jungle?

Faced with the siege of two enemy players, Breath Bro used both oranges and Flash, getting beaten all the way to the tower where he was nearly killed before finally managing to save his own life.

This was only because TES played it safe and didn't tower dive; if they had, they would have definitely gotten the kill.

What's going on?

"The enemy top laner used his ultimate, but I survived."

A gank by the jungler completely destroyed the early game dominance, and even inexplicably turned the situation into one of being suppressed.

The minion wave was still stuck there, and he had lost both his health and Flash. Helpless, he had to recall to base and use Teleport to get back to lane, but... he couldn't figure out whether the enemy jungler had left or not.

That's the key feature of going on the road.

Even if I am a champion that you counter, as long as I can master the most essential item for a top laner—the jungle carry—I can counter-counter and dominate the opponent, even creating a crushing situation.

"The next wave will probably be harder to catch. The enemy will definitely see my position and push the lane. You have to hold on."

"No, there's another way." Knight, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up, comparing the mid-lane's distress signals. "Harry, you come and defend mid-lane for a couple of waves, I'll go gank."

"???"

The two Ueno members, who were initially a little confused, immediately understood Knight's meaning after seeing the subsequent marks. Then, the three of them revealed sly smiles and quickly took action.

Normally, a jungler would recall after a fast level 4 gank, but in this game, Haro went for a fast level 3 gank, meaning he left the jungle to help his teammates. Now, if the mid laner asked him to farm the lane, he would definitely agree wholeheartedly. The jungler, Blade of the Ruined King, came to farm the mid lane, and the mid laner, Gragas, retreated, pretending to recall. He used a fake move in the enemy's blind spot and headed straight for the top lane.

It was at this very moment that Breathing Bro felt he was back to normal.

Although he went home once, his equipment was updated. Don't be fooled by Poppy still being stuck in the lane; in reality, she had very few consumables left. Seeing the enemy jungler appear in the mid lane and the enemy mid laner already back to base, Poppy in the top lane was completely at his mercy.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and the captain felt he was back to normal.

Unfortunately... he was outmaneuvered by the TES team once again. When the fake alcohol-drinking Gragas appeared behind him in the exact same manner, all that remained in his eyes was sorrow.

"Didn't expect that, did you? A single arrow pierces the clouds, and a thousand armies come to meet you—this is the ultimate secret of the top lane—Daddy, come!"

This time, without Flash, the captain was unable to escape the enemy's encirclement and killed, giving up the first blood.

[TES_Knight kills WE_Breathe]

First Blood!

After a perfect kill, they pushed the remaining minions in the top lane together, and Gragas and Poppy both recalled to base.

[That's a brutal Gragas gank, is that how you do it?]

[I was the captain and I was dumbfounded. The other side practically handed me a contract, and only after they took the bait did I realize I was just a walking ATM.]

[Has the boiling water tactic been followed by a new strategy of feigning injury in the top lane?]

[This is a familiar tactic of TES, which I would call the "fishing tactic."]

Seeing that TES's mid laner Gragas was willing to lose lane experience to gank Gangplank, the audience couldn't help but burst out laughing. At this moment, the most ridiculous person in the whole game was the jungler, Sadness. He naturally managed his jungle very well. If the opponent chose to gank, he would definitely choose to invade. But don't mess up!

If he gets killed in the top lane, he has to go check on the bottom lane to minimize the damage.

As a result, in the bottom lane... there was a sapling every three steps and a fake ward every five steps. After finally managing to get close, the Maokai could use your flanking jungler as a ladder, using W dash + Q knockback + Flash combo to run straight to the river. With that Q skill shock, the opponent was already slowed down and hard to chase, plus the talents of Swiftness, Waterwalking and Movement Speed, I sadly said that I simply couldn't catch up.

The jungler is trapped.

At this moment, in the commentary booth, Duoduo and Gugu were earnestly praising WE. After all, when it's a match of their own region, commentators usually have to stand on the side of the underdog and speak up for them; this is basic etiquette for commentators.

"The captain's death this time is a bit of a blow, you could even say it's a bit of a disaster."

"It's alright. After all, the Captain is still in the safe lane against Poppy. I believe that after learning from this mistake, he won't be caught so easily again. You can see that Breathe even bought a control ward and boots before leaving the lane, which means he's probably prepared to hold his lane."

"Yes, we can trust Zhao Xin more. Just now, the bottom laner Aban was forced to use Flash by the enemy."

"Huh? Wait a minute... what's with TES's lane assignments?"

The two analyzed that Captain was the dominant laner against Poppy and could still win. However, as soon as TES's top and mid laners left the field, the two surprisingly switched positions with perfect understanding, sending Gragas to top and Poppy to mid. This move left the commentators completely dumbfounded.

Let the Gragas who got first blood go to lane against the disadvantaged Gangplank who had used up all his summoner spells, and let Poppy who had farmed comfortably go to lane against the strong Renekton in the mid lane. Damn, how come they didn't think of playing like this?

The mid lane was evenly matched no matter how you played it, but the top lane gained an advantage because of these two ganks and lane swaps.

It might seem like the top lane is simply much easier to play, but the key point of this lane swap is that while Gragas gains an advantage, he can also free up the jungler in the upper half of the jungle. Once Haro finishes upgrading his items and leaves the jungle, he doesn't need to go to the top lane anymore.

It's all about grabbing, grabbing, and grabbing the hell out right now.

The rhythm is picking up.

"See, I told you, beating WE wasn't as difficult as I thought. My bot lane was stronger than theirs, and I had a huge advantage from the start. I could win with any lineup I wanted." White Crescent's tone was extremely high as he said this.

that's the truth.

How did TES and RNG manage to come back from a 0-2 deficit to win 3-2 or 2-2 in the Spring and Summer Splits of S11?

It's because my bot lane is consistently stronger than the enemy's bot lane. If I help them, we can crush them; if I don't help them, we can still hold our own. Sometimes, we can even give them an advantage. For example, JKL even pulled off a famous scene where he solo-killed the enemy duo under their tower with Aphelios.

The idea that AD carries are weak or die easily is based on a lack of teamwork in ranked matches.

If we take matches as a benchmark, in a fair match with an equal number of players, as long as you don't pick a super carry that has no damage in the early game, then this position is extremely threatening, and the players generally have pretty flashy positioning skills (forced to practice).

The bottom lane has lane priority, and the elemental dragon belongs to the bottom lane.

If the bottom lane has lane priority, even if the top lane collapses, the first Rift Herald will still go to the bottom lane because it can provide faster support to the Rift Herald.

Even in a region as meticulous as LCK, T1's winning streak was only possible because their bot lane had an AD carry who could utilize 20% of his full potential. Although it's unclear where the remaining 80% of his power went, it doesn't matter. After all, it's a game, and it's understandable to hold back a few key points.

White Crescent's fearlessness in the face of WE's coaching staff stems from the fact that their bot lane is stronger than WE's, and not just in one dimension.

How could low-spending players possibly understand the gaming experience of heavy spenders?

but

Sadness truly lives up to his reputation as WE's star player. Even in a game where both side lanes were being ganked, he managed to find a way to break through the defenses—invading and counter-ganking.

Despite his extensive experience, this kind of veteran jungler, unless facing a very strong opponent, will inevitably adopt a formulaic farming method no matter how the game starts. Hiding in the buff bush opposite Frog Princess, Sadness slowly waits for the jungler to come to his door.

Having ganked the top lane early on and spent too much time farming in the mid lane, Haro was completely clueless about the respawn times of jungle monsters. After all, no one knew if the enemy had invaded their jungle or if the monsters were still there, so he had to search for them one by one.

As he approached the location of the Frog Queen, the familiar figure of Demacian Xin suddenly appeared in front of him as soon as he entered the grass.

"Holy crap!? There's a sixth guy!"

Just as Ha Huang was about to run, Zhao Xin's spear thrust at him from behind.

"Good lad, you're the first person to dare rob my Zhao Xin. Ancient Blade, wine, R! Beyond this natural barrier of the Yangtze River lies the iron wall of Demacia! Kill!" When it comes to framing, Sadness is no less skilled than you, Haro. I don't care whether you robbed my jungle or not. Anyway, I'm the strong one now, and you're the weak one. If I say you robbed it, then you robbed it.

Chasing him all the way from the jungle to the turret, Haro ultimately couldn't escape the tragic death.

[WE_Beishang kills TES_Haro]

The rhythm was forcefully reversed by the opponent.

"mine."

"It's alright, Xiaoyou, it's still Xiaoyou."

Seeing his jungler killed in the top half of the map, Knight, who had been taunting the captain, suddenly stopped pretending. He threw his Q skill barrel and ran off to the river to place a ward, fearing that he would be the next victim.

Unfortunately, this time the Blade of the Ruined King was ambushed rather than invaded, and the top and mid laners weren't notified beforehand. By the time Knight realized something was wrong, the jungle was already badly damaged, so going there was pointless and he simply chose to push the lane.

With the advantage of first blood, the top laner Gragas was dominating Gangplank. Knight was originally planning to wait until level six to try and burst down the enemy Gangplank, but now that the jungler has died, his original plan has to be changed.

"What a pity, I was hoping to see if there would be a chance to try the geometry bucket later."

"That's easy, you'll learn by playing more pool."

Roland knows Gragas quite well; it's one of his signature champions. Although his skill stats aren't great in this version, and building damage items for him is a bit weak, that's a late-game issue.

In the early game, Gragas' base damage and burst damage are truly incomprehensible.

In a sense, this hero does indeed fit the meaning of the word "wine." He seems clumsy and has low damage, but different builds can lead to different playstyles.

A full AP build results in explosive damage, but it indirectly sacrifices the opportunity to initiate team fights in the front line and reduces tankiness, while also lowering the margin for error.

This build offers a very high margin for error, but no matter how skillful you are, the lack of damage is a major drawback.

These two different choices are similar to the drinking culture at domestic dinner tables.
