You actually want me to...

"Ah, that's true. Speaking of Aban, he's a very proactive person. He often communicates with the support players of other teams... I mean, he exchanges feelings and learns from their experience. I've even taught him some things he needed to learn."

"Huh? Like your competition experience?"

"No, it's something even more important, it even touches on a bit of privacy, but I'm not comfortable saying it, so... those who know, know." After saying that, Cat King immediately recalled the time during the pandemic when Roland asked him for car seeds after they had become familiar with each other.

Sending instructional videos...that counts as teaching, right?

perhaps?

From God's perspective at this moment, RNG's team did indeed have some ideas about TES's top lane.

I gave you the Vanguard, and you played a thief and still pushed the lane.

If you dare to push the lane now, will you dare to release the Rift Herald and push the tower later? If you wait a little longer, will you dare to take on three opponents in a small team fight? If you wait a little longer, will you dare to solo the high ground and mine gold?

No, I absolutely cannot tolerate this.

As one of the three major teams, RNG felt they should maintain the dignity of senior players and absolutely could not allow this precedent to be set.

The excavator is on its way, and even a Lamborghini is coming.

Since they eliminated the support first, the TES team didn't place much vision in the river (mainly because their support item hadn't been upgraded yet), and they couldn't see the enemy's lane for a while.

Karsa, JKL, and Aban were just playing their heroes and AFKing in the top lane bushes, so bored they were practically ready to pull out a deck of cards and start playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).

"Hey, are you sure the other side will send someone?"

"One against four, it's under control. Trust me, Brother Ka. Think carefully, when have I ever lied to you? Have you forgotten the link that Cat Emperor gave me the other day? I could tell it was a black car just by looking at the size. You have to trust my sixth sense."

"Hey A, if you don't come soon, I'm really leaving. During the time I've been AFK, the enemy AD has basically caught up with the CS difference."

"Bomb bomb bomb bomb! Stop playing cards with your mind, the goat is coming!!!" With a shout from 369, a giant goat appeared out of thin air next to the bushes and then ran towards 369's position as a thief.

With just one powerful move, the entire TES team instantly sprang to their feet.

then.

No one came out of the bushes; they just stayed there AFK.

369: ? ? ?

Although he had a million complaints in his mind, 369 didn't have time to say anything right now. While Ornn's sheep has a slowing effect, it's still difficult to knock up a Thief with his E skill's dash using his second ultimate.

A segment E, at its limit, turned the sheep's arrival into the sheep's departure.

He used Flash to forcefully create distance from the excavator, but because the position wasn't far, 369 was still hit by the excavator's long-range Q, and his ultimate was activated.

At the same time, Rumble, who had rushed from the river to the top lane, unleashed his ultimate ability, a total of three ultimate abilities, which was enough to show that RNG was determined to secure this kill.

Seeing his health plummeting like a fund, 369 could no longer hold back.

"You guys should at least pay attention to me!!!"

"They're here, they're here."

After observing for so long, and seeing that 369 health points were indeed about to give out, the three people in the bushes jumped out at the same time.

At this moment, XLB is the most confused one.

He had just emerged from the void when he was confronted by four burly men standing in front of him.

At this moment, XLB seemed to be singing a heartfelt song: "I'm Just Passing By," but the TES team didn't want to listen to him at all. They used all sorts of skills to hit him directly in the face, leaving him no room to resist.

[TES_JKL kills RNG_XLB]

While casting his skill, Ah Shui also cast a heal on 369. Although it was a bit of a waste, 369 had Ornn's ultimate ability on him, which was perfect for chasing people.

As a horn sounded, the goat, looking completely bewildered, ran out to work overtime once again.

The four people and one sheep chased after Rambo, shouting loudly, "Xiao Hu, I'm your fan!" and then thoroughly dealt with him.

With a 0-for-2 exchange and the Rift Herald taking down the top tower, TES secured full plating and made a huge profit.

Holy crap, they actually caught them.

[This is hilarious! 369 was frantically dodging skills while his three teammates were flashing icons in the bushes, watching the spectacle.]

People's joys and sorrows are all different; I just find their noise annoying. (jpg)

[Wow, you're the atmosphere-setter team, aren't you?]

It must be admitted that TES's decision-making this time was truly amazing to the commentators and viewers. However, at the same time, the group's behavior of selling out their teammates and using them as bait was indeed a bit exaggerated.

"Sigh, what a pity. If the enemy's damage had been a bit higher, I might have been able to save on this healing."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have used my W skill on him. Without that bonus to both armor and magic resistance, he might have died."

369: ? ? ?

"No way, are you two dogs? Can't you speak like humans?" Why the hell should I have jumped on him? Why the hell should I have wasted a heal? So, he shouldn't be alive just because he stole a guy's item? Why are you, an AD carry, so obsessed with your skills all day? I've never seen you use Flash to save your life.

JKL: "Although I hate to admit it, they do treat me like a Shiba Inu most of the time."

369: "Ah Shui, you..."

Aban: "Awooo!~"

369: "Ah Ban, you..."

Listening to the bot lane duo's plays in the team voice chat, 369 was completely dumbfounded.

Ka-Ge, Left Hand: "Pfft~"

369: "Brother Ka, Brother Knight, you guys..."

Ka Ge: "Ahem, um... 369, we've undergone rigorous training, so we won't laugh no matter how funny something is."

Left hand: "Unless I can't help it."

369: ? ? ? ? ? ?

First Encounter: Chapter 86: We All Love Peace

Having gained a significant early advantage, TES's pace became relatively less rushed.

They have a mid-to-late game composition. As long as they can withstand the pressure from RNG in the early game, they can basically crush the opponent at will. The fact that they gained a big advantage in the early game with such a composition also shows how smoothly the game went.

Of course, that's not all.

The destruction of the top tower means that 369's Sylas is freed up, and Ornn also has to switch lanes. TES then speeds up the game and starts playing a sniping game with you.

What does an advantage mean?

The simplest meaning is that your team's economy must be more than the opponent's. In the early stages, when everyone only has one major item or no major items, the empty inventory slots can be used to buy control wards.

Classic vision control.

Forget about whether my wards are as good as the enemy's Xiaoming's. There's an old Chinese saying that puts it perfectly: "When you're poor, use tactical maneuvers; when you're rich, just bomb!" I'm going to mobilize the masses and give everyone two true sight wards to fill the vision, exposing every move RNG makes to our vision.

Seeing TES's vision as if the entire map had been opened, even the commentators were a little confused.

"Speaking of which, do you think if Brother Guan saw this scene here, would some fragments in his DNA be touched?" Cat Emperor was stunned for a moment, and the first thing that came to mind when he saw this scene was a certain champion team.

"That's for sure, but thankfully he's probably commentating on LCK next door and can't see this, so TES is safe for now."

Standard three-star vision tactics.

The current TES team is essentially using a low-spec version of the S7 champion team's vision, a low-spec version of the S8 champion team's configuration, and playing a low-spec version of the S9 champion team's tactics.

It stands out as something utterly outrageous.

"What do you mean, A-Ban?"

"We have such a big advantage, so we definitely have to fight them. But it's hard to deal with their burst damage lineup once they get engaged. So I thought about it and came up with a pretty good tactic."

"For example?"

"For example, if we can engage them before they engage us, their one-wave attack strategy will be forcibly interrupted and completely ineffective. What do you think of this idea? Isn't it brilliant?"

TES members: ? ? ? ? ?

Although a bunch of question marks were flashing through their minds, after a brief moment of thought, the TES team surprisingly realized that this actually seemed to be the most suitable tactic for them at the moment. Some things didn't even need to be taught; some things were already ingrained in their minds.

It is well known that Chinese people do not like to fight. Books such as "The Art of War of the Yellow Emperor", "Six Secret Teachings", "Sima's Art", "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wu Zi's Art of War", "Sun Bin's Art of War", "Bai Qi's Art of War", "Mengde's New Book", "On Protracted War", etc., all talk about how to win with fewer troops and stop fighting. They can apply these principles to some extent.

Or to put it more bluntly.

Asking these top-tier support players to play traditional macro-management is giving the current team too much credit for their leadership abilities. But if you simply assign them tasks, like where to fight, and give them a task, the other four can instantly grasp his intentions. They can even figure out the most suitable flanking and damage-dealing positions on their own by following the punctuation marks in the command.

TES's strength lies in this: its players don't have many personal ideas when following commands. They play exactly as you tell them to, except for the AD carry, who is naturally prone to greed for minions and may occasionally delay things. They generally execute commands as soon as they are told to.

Playing from a disadvantage to an advantage is difficult to plan, but playing from an advantage to a disadvantage, at least Roland and Kasa know exactly which resources to acquire at what time. Looking at their own team's composition, well, as long as they don't fight in confined terrain, there shouldn't be any problems.

The result was clear: either fight in the river, fight in a lane, or fight in the jungle, but only if it resulted in a numerical advantage or a surprise attack. With his strategy clear, Roland's objectives became obvious. First, he marked a fight location, then several other locations that needed to be captured, and finally a few more potential enemy positions. The rest was up to his teammates.

In the next few minutes, the audience suddenly noticed that TES's playstyle had changed and had become exceptionally dirty.

For example, they could take turns sending one person to roam and bait in lanes, or steal Rumble's ultimate and then coordinate with Varus to poke and send one back to base when Syndra pushes the enemy mid, or place several control wards in several bushes and then randomly pick one to wait for the enemy support to come and feed, and so on.

They played dirty and shameless, trying every possible way to eliminate the enemy before map resources respawned, then happily amassed their own resources. Especially after the second Rift Herald was released at 18 minutes, TES destroyed RNG's mid-lane tower, successfully turning RNG's jungle camp from a farming game into a horror game.

Xiao Ming wasn't entirely without resistance, but the opposing team simply had too many true sight wards.

I went for a stroll in the jungle and gained over a hundred gold just from clearing wards. Although TES is using the most basic method to compensate for their lack of command ability, it's undeniably effective.

"Xiaoming, what kind of nonsense did you teach the opposing support?" Xiaohu was disgusted and wanted to vomit. Because Rumble has no mobility, he was the one who was caught out the most by the opposing team. At his peak, he even had five people come to catch him at once.

Arresting people is one thing, but these bastards have such a huge advantage and instead of pushing forward and fighting them head-on, they rely on split pushing and the time difference between regrouping to try and steal the tower. They have no shame at all. It's like they think that if everyone is united, they can steal the base, but if they're not, they can run rampant, right?!

"I didn't teach him anything. To avoid revealing too much, I just played other games with him in private. But you're not telling me, it's actually quite fun."

"Huh? What kind of games did he show you?"

"The predecessor of the non-flammable thing, the mobile game of the same name, has guild groups full of spies, YY is full of spies, Tieba is full of public opinion, and there are daily flame wars in the game world. These are all methods outside the game. In the game, there are alliances, backstabbing, defection, feigning surrender to the enemy, showing weakness to the enemy, and all kinds of poaching of each other. It's so damn exciting."

. . . . . .

Upon hearing this, Betty silently shifted her butt a tiny bit towards the mid lane, and instantly straightened up.

Goodness, those who play tactics have dirty minds; Full-Time Master is right.

Of course, RNG is not a team that will sit idly by and wait for its demise.

Although the team has Oscar, a seasonal mid-laner, a dual-form support (Ming Shen/Ming Shen), and two rookies, one thing is certain: there are still three veteran players on the team who know that they must give it their all at this time.

Although Roland's cleverness put a lot of pressure on Xiaoming, they weren't completely without room to fight back. The advantage of a burst damage lineup is that as long as their economy isn't ridiculously bad, they still have room to engage in team fights.
