You actually want me to...

"Don't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Roland dared not admit it casually, not because the title was so intimidating, but because he was simply not worthy of it.

As we all know, finance is a very complex thing.

Those who excelled in their studies were in Lujiazui, while those who were exceptionally good at it were in Tilanqiao. Those who know, know.

Final Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Eight: Times Are Progressing

The first wave of momentum on the field came from a surprise attack by Canyon in the mid lane.

Looking at the laning phase alone, Lissandra doesn't have a good matchup against Syndra in the early game. To extend the range of her Q skill, she has to rely on minions as a medium, otherwise it will be very short. However, if she relies on minions as a medium, it is easy for her opponent in lane to dodge it.

Syndra, on the other hand, is different.

Unless the opponent is using a script or suddenly has some kind of system that guarantees 100% skill dodging, basically even if they only manage 2 or 3 out of 5, it's enough to give them a hard time. The only reason he's willing to risk getting caught and push the lane is that Lissandra's mana consumption is higher than Syndra's.

Crystal Maiden has a base mana cost of 475, her Q skill costs 55 mana per hit, her Q skill has an 8-second cooldown, base armor of 22, and base magic resistance of 30.

Syndra has a base mana cost of 480, her Q skill costs 40 mana per use, her Q skill has a 4-second cooldown, base armor of 25, and base magic resistance of 30.

Can you feel the difference?

Normally, such a slight difference wouldn't even get a second glance. How much could something as small as ten or twenty points change the course of a battle?

However, the version used very harsh data to tell the players that this data is really important.

More frequent resource consumption, a more natural environment for exchanging blows, and higher base armor mean that unless Knight unleashes his full potential with godlike positioning, he will definitely be unable to push or defeat the enemy Syndra in the early game, unless the jungler comes along.

In this situation, a slightly disadvantaged mid laner only has two solutions: call for backup or push quickly.

Regardless of the individual skill of the players, the players who can reach the semifinals of the S-series and are renowned in their respective regions are undoubtedly skilled. The key lies in the strengths and weaknesses of their heroes.

Lissandra is weak in lane but strong in team fights, and her utility is a key factor in her popularity in Season 11. This is largely due to LeBlanc's strength, rather than her own stats.

Canyon has figured this out perfectly.

So he gave up on the jungle monsters that were just one set away from level four, and instead seized the opportunity to gank mid from the other side of the map.

Knight had a warning in his mind, but there was nothing he could do. It's like being stuck in front of the enemy tower while playing top lane. If you don't push, you're doomed; if you do, there might be risks. Any top laner would choose to push.

At this moment, Knight could only silently pray that the opposing jungler wasn't around.

But unfortunately...

The prayer failed.

The prince emerged from the bushes, and Syndra grabbed the ball to force him into position. Neither of them was in a hurry to use their skills. They were both experienced players with Flash at their disposal. "I've gone out of my way to gank you, so it's impossible for you not to give me something in return."

Helpless, he could only use E-Flash to double-use his abilities, and then pinged the jungler to request backup.

"This Canyon has such a keen sense of smell."

Perhaps LCK junglers all have some kind of problem. When it comes to crucial games, they can all inherit the will of former champion jungler Benji, which is—mid lane is king.

This was the first time in four games that Canyon had focused so much on the mid lane in the early game.

"Don't be too careless. Where did the prince just disappear to?"

"Bottom lane".

......

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?

Roland, who was about to say a few words about the topic, immediately pulled the AD carry to shrink the battle line after hearing that the prince was going down. Their early game offensive pressure was also very smooth, but the problem was... their jungler couldn't help them this game.

In order to maintain their fighting strength as much as possible and protect the top lane, Haro farmed from bottom to top this game, leaving the lower half of the jungle almost completely dark. They no longer dared to continue being so reckless.

This is a prince; he can move.

"Just by slightly changing the route, he managed to force a flash in the mid lane and relieve the pressure on the bottom lane. Canyon is really fierce."

"That's right, the line of thinking is too clear."

The reason why he was recognized as the world's best jungler in both S10 and S11 in his previous life was because his ability to plan the jungle and control the rhythm of the game was far superior to others. This is not a matter of skill, but a matter of brains.

Everyone has a different perspective and understanding of the same thing.

Just like when you come across a photo of a beautiful woman online, if the woman has a Western face, people will pay attention to whether she is a Western celebrity; if the woman has a Chinese face, people will probably notice whether she is a recently popular Photoshop influencer; but if the woman is from Japan, most netizens will only care whether she has worked in the adult entertainment industry.

See, this difference is clearly demonstrated.

Canyon is still fierce; this play was a clear warning to others, and now the bot lane is afraid to push.

[It's a pity we missed this wave. It will take a while before we can apply that kind of pressure again. It seems like Ghost is getting more and more used to TES's offensive rhythm.]

Both bot lanes have started recalling; are the supports about to begin their duo roam?

[Holy crap, the Bomber went home naked with Tear of the Goddess, does he look down on JKL that much?]

If you don't dare to push the bottom lane anymore, returning to base to update your equipment and health is undoubtedly the best option. Staying in the bottom lane will not bring any benefits, and you will also have to worry about being targeted by the enemy jungler. The key is that after returning to the bottom lane, Roland can start roaming.

Putting everything else aside, at least going to the mid lane to help the mid laner with vision control is necessary. Considering that the Ice Maiden has already used Flash, it's impossible for me to place all the wards in some blind spots at this point, but at least placing one on one side for defense is still acceptable.

Roland's role is quite simple.

It wasn't about crushing the bottom lane with JKL, but about holding down all the lanes together with Haro.

Humans are creatures with a strong ability to withstand pressure.

If you can dominate the first game, dominate the second game, and gain a significant advantage in the third game, then you might only have a slight advantage in the fourth game. This is because everyone is constantly adapting to the opponent's style, habits, and playstyle. Once you have a clear strategy, you naturally won't give them as many opportunities.

Losing money is better than dying, isn't it?

This kind of growth is an inevitable outcome. It's like going out for fun used to be called drinking tea, then it evolved into taking classes, then into repairing cars, and even door-to-door repair services were added in between. Finally, it slowly evolved into door-to-door nucleic acid testing services.

look.

Even ikun's peers are working so hard, and even the shoe seller on Tieba knows to keep up with the times and start competing fiercely, so there's no reason why DK, who made it to the World Championship semifinals, hasn't changed at all.

Both their opponents and themselves are growing rapidly.

then...

As Roland planted the protective ward in the jungle, he plunged into the river and slipped into the opposite jungle.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place. He's about to unleash his power!

Settled: Chapter Sixty-Nine: It's embarrassing to just squat there; people will nag about it for a lifetime.

"Huh? What's A-Ban doing in someone else's jungle? Is he warding?"

"That doesn't make sense either. If he hadn't left, he could have just left, but he's still squatting in the bushes."

Is it possible, I mean, possible... that he's ganking the jungler?

.....

"I think you might have inadvertently revealed a truth, Professor Miller."

The other two commentators discussed it and realized that it did seem to be a possibility.

TES's biggest problem right now is that they don't know which lane their jungler will gank, because no matter which lane Jarvan IV chooses, they can't beat him.

Top lane Graves + Jarvan IV have both opportunities and damage output, mid lane Syndra + Jarvan IV have both opportunities and damage output while also having a Flash advantage, as for the bot lane... well, maybe the bot lane is the only one that isn't so afraid of being ganked, but if they do get caught, they can easily use a summoner spell.

In the early stages, it was clear that TES's lineup was no match for the opponent's lineup.

This isn't like some mobile games where you can recharge and even get Kassadin to solo kill Lucian twice before level 6. In this game, he didn't open any so-called recharge channels. The only similar thing was that he did a ritual in Guan Daxiao's live stream, and by now, his mana should have been almost completely depleted.

What can we do?

Grasp!

If you gank the enemy jungler's position and then farm the mid lane to reach level four, the enemy jungler will have to recall no matter what. If you don't convert your economic advantage into an equipment advantage, then Haro will be able to chase him down in the jungle. So, it's 100% certain that Jarvan IV will recall.

Then it's simple.

Find a patch of bushes and immediately become the sixth enemy. Either the Prince leaves the jungle and comes to the lower half of the jungle to eat the river crab or the three wolves. As long as they come, Roland will definitely be able to see them. If they don't come, he can judge from the time that they might be heading to the upper half of the jungle, and then give guidance to his teammates.

The advantage of doing this is that it allows for precise and accurate detection of potential hazards using the naked eye.

As for the downsides...

Losing experience.

It doesn't matter anyway. It's good that Xayah can farm the lane first and reach level 6 on her own, and she has the ability to protect herself. Besides, they weren't planning to contest the Rift Herald at 8 minutes anyway. If they can't get level 6, they can't get it.

Most viewers outside the screen couldn't understand Roland's actions, but the few who did understand the game couldn't help but admire his sacrifice.

Don't underestimate this meal.

On the surface, it's embarrassing to just sit there like that, and people will keep talking about it for a lifetime.

But in reality, the more experienced a player is at hiding in the bushes, the more likely they are to make it to the final circle. And even if we don't take FPS games as an example, let's take a side-scrolling game as an example.

Have you ever heard of a sniper?

Have you ever heard of the NieR myth?

Back in the days when all sixty-odd warlords went up the mountain to catch turtles, there was a group of bastards who would just squat as soon as they entered the map. Although their actions were very lewd, their damage was so high that it was incomprehensible. At that time, they were almost on the same level as the Emperor Furnace Killing the Heavens, which was a major bug.

10s...15s...20s

Luo's AFK in the bushes not only sparked numerous questions and discussions among the spectators, but also made the DK players somewhat hesitant.

Has this support player been gone for a little too long?

The most feared opponent is Khan in the top lane. He plays Graves well against Gwen in the top lane. Gwen is not even a Conter replacement of the same level, but a lower-tier replacement against Graves. The reason is that Gwen's E skill cooldown was nerfed around patch 11.19, making it more difficult for her to withstand pressure. However, the good news is that her growth and recovery have been buffed, although it is small, it is better than nothing.

The key point is that he was having a great time dominating the top lane when suddenly Genshin Impact started pinging the enemy support's disappearance.

And it would disappear for more than ten seconds.

What do you mean?

So you've come all this way, huh? You think you can kill me with just Gwen and Lore?

He was about to put on airs.

Two more MISS signals appeared, but this time the target was not Rakan, but TES's jungler, Blade of the Ruined King.

"Three...three?"
