You actually want me to...

Furthermore, the higher the time goes on, the greater the upper and lower limits of their returns become.

RNG used to excel at dragging the game out for over 30 minutes, then suddenly pulling off a miraculous team fight and pushing all the way from the enemy's outer turrets to their base crystal.

After thinking for a while, considering the strengths and weaknesses of their own lineup.

Xiaoming, signal the assembly.

P.S.: The mobile version of League of Legends is now open for pre-registration, and you can try your luck three times... I didn't get one today.

PS2: T1 is really just sitting on the ground, I feel so sorry for the players.

First Encounter: Chapter 87: I Have a Question

At this moment, Roland did not let his guard down just because the team was on a winning streak.

Putting aside the regular season, they have also played against these top teams in many training matches. Although their teammates have a high level of skill, they are actually at a disadvantage most of the time, and they have lost more than they have won in the training matches.

Putting aside the various training match god buffs, the most important point is the difference between them and other teams in the mid-to-late game team fight handling, or more accurately, it's about competing on your respawn time.

Here's a simple explanation of the algorithm: In League of Legends, the respawn time is 10 seconds at level 2, and then increases by 3 seconds for each level up. After 35 minutes, the respawn time increases by 2% per minute.

Based on the current level of 13 Varus (around 26 minutes), if he dies and respawns, it will take him more than 40 seconds. If a burst damage composition successfully ambushes someone, there will usually be at least three people left on the field. What can three people do in more than 40 seconds?

They can push all the way from your mid tower to your mid high ground.

If any of these three players is an ADC, then they can take down the inhibitor turret.

The favorite tactic of established powerhouses is to drag the game into the mid-to-late game, then use their extensive mid-to-late game experience to wipe out your entire team in one fell swoop, even destroying your base.

Therefore, Roland's attention was exceptionally focused at that moment.

"We're getting ready to take the Dragon Soul, but the enemy team will definitely engage in this team fight. 369, stop pushing lanes and come straight here."

"Row."

"Hey Kaka, give me some vision control. Jack, you have a blue trinket ward, right? Put one over the enemy Malphite, but don't keep too much distance."

At this stage, experience and tactics alone are no longer sufficient. The role of support players is merely to guide the general direction; the rest is largely unpredictable. As the game progresses, the individual intuition of the team members becomes increasingly crucial.

Do you think Xiaoming can perfectly initiate team fights against TES based on his years of support experience? Obviously not, he himself doesn't have that confidence. Similarly, even with such a big advantage, Roland wouldn't dare say he can reliably withstand the opponent's initiation. In this game, he's playing a protective support role; aside from reminding his teammates and himself to place necessary wards, all he can do is desperately protect the two carries.

With the last elemental dragon about to spawn, RNG slowly advanced to the vicinity of the river. Judging from this position, the opposing team was determined to engage them in a team fight in the river, and they seemed determined not to give up the dragon.

Looking at RNG's lineup, Ornn will inevitably get picked off if he initiates, Rumble's initiation lacks damage, and Rek'Sai's initiation is pure suicide. Therefore, RNG still needs to rely on Rakan.

Only if Rakan succeeds in initiating the attack can the remaining skills follow up. So the question is simple: when will this support Rakan initiate?

RNG's lineup features Ornn tanking in the front row.

After that, Luo and the excavator moved around frequently, and just by looking at them, you could tell that Luo would choose to engage head-on. Due to the nature of the hero, this guy's initiation speed is particularly fast, and even if it's a direct frontal attack, there's a high chance that he won't be able to react to the opponent's speed.

Can we open it ourselves?

"It's not easy to drive, unless you go up and sell, but if you go up, you'll be instantly killed."

"We can only wait for them to make their move?"

"Yes, let's go straight for the dragon."

With the advantage in the terrain, TES was not afraid of the opponent at all. They immediately rushed the moment the elemental dragon spawned, forcing the opponent to engage in a team fight.

If you don't go, I'll do *that* to the dragon right in front of you, a live demonstration of being cuckolded.

If you go up, I'll just take over from you. Anyway, I have the advantage, and I'm not that afraid of you.

Seeing TES's decisive action, RNG realized they couldn't delay any longer. Ornn's Goat was activated immediately, and the Goat emerged from the void, charging towards Ornn's location.

Seeing this, Roland's first instinct was to activate his shield and finish off Ornn. He absolutely couldn't let Ornn's ultimate be triggered; given the river's terrain, it was practically impossible to knock up two enemies without a brain fart.

But just as he was about to raise his shield, Luo attacked.

RE Flash W Lightning-fast team fight initiation combo: In just an instant, Rakan suddenly charged into TES's formation. His speed was so fast that ZuoShou didn't even have time to react before throwing out his E skill and was immediately controlled.

As the W skill made its grand entrance, Syndra, Jarvan IV, and Varus were all simultaneously charmed or lifted, instantly becoming controlled by all three.

When Yang unleashed his second ultimate skill, RNG's control chain was perfectly linked.

The scene exploded instantly.

"Wow! RNG's team fight initiation was amazing!"

"Xiao Ming has entered the arena. Oh no, the TES team stood too close together to fight the dragon, and three of them were lifted up at once."

"Rumble's ultimate is coming down at its maximum range. TES is going to be in big trouble from this position."

"Wait! Bloom!"

The strategy of using Ornn and Rakan together was a plan RNG established from the very beginning. If the opposing support reacts and secures the Eyjafjalla, Rakan can then launch a surprise attack while the Eyjafjalla draws the enemy's attention; conversely, if he is caught off guard and controlled by the enemy, Ornn's second ability has a good chance of being used.

There's only one chance, because the elemental dragon can't last long.

Everything happened just as RNG had hoped, even too smoothly. In their view, Braum was now completely unable to stop the opposing team from entering the fray.

Just as they were thinking this, a flash of light appeared on the field.

W [Step Forward] + Flash

The moment he landed, Braum also helped block the excavator's ranged Q skill. Looking at the trio of excavator, Rumble, and Miss Fortune in front of him, Roland's lips also curled into a smile.

Don't fucking think that just because I play Braum I can't initiate team fights. I can't control Rakan, but I can control you guys who have no mobility.

[Glacier fissure], smash it for me!

"Oh!"

With a powerful slam of his shield, massive ice pillars rose up, instantly knocking away the enemy's combined attack of Rek'Sai and Rumble. He unleashed Ice Bite, simultaneously taking a step forward and auto-attacking the nearest Rumble. Finally, he used his E skill to shield his face, activated Gargoyle Stoneplate, and Roland, controlling the muscular Braum, shoved the shield right into Miss Fortune's mouth.

While the entire maneuver wasn't as fluid as Rakan's, it perfectly blocked RNG's subsequent damage output. No one expected that the reason this guy didn't use his E skill to secure the sheep was to allow Miss Fortune to soak up shields in team fights—a heartwarming reason behind it.

Without Miss Fortune and Rumble to follow up with damage, RNG's damage output was disrupted.

Since you didn't manage to wipe out the entire TES team in one fell swoop, it's their turn now.

Another inferno descended from the sky, and Silas's borrowing approach once again proved remarkably effective.

The prince followed up with two consecutive EQ attacks, causing the world to collapse and forcibly closing the gate.

Knight and Varus, needless to say, unleashed a barrage of skills as if they were free.

Gone.

Seeing this, Xiaoming made a token resistance, and then decisively turned off the screen in front of him.

already lost.

Before starting the group purchase, he imagined many scenarios.

He imagined himself entering the fray only to be interrupted by Braum's ultimate, or by TES's two carries' crowd control abilities.

He also imagined Ornn's ultimate being used and him entering the fray without any follow-up crowd control, leading to defeat.

But what he never imagined was that while his team had perfectly initiated the team fight, his own backline was also perfectly engaged by the enemy.

What the hell?

Is this a base-trading tactic?

Although it was somewhat laughable, Xiaoming could only accept his defeat. They were already at a disadvantage, and this team fight was a gamble on a miracle. If the opposing team hadn't suddenly realized their mistake and started playing vision control, their success rate might have been even higher.

All I can say is that Ah Ban's impromptu reaction was excellent.

In a 1-for-4 exchange, TES lost their frontline support Braum, while RNG's Rek'Sai escaped with low health due to JackeyLove's mistake on the last Q.

Although they weren't able to wipe out the opposing team, the match was already over.

【666666】

Good grief, so both supports are really going to engage head-on?

[The comments were so relatable. When Braum failed to capture the sheep, a bunch of people were criticizing him, but after he flashed into the backline and controlled three enemies, they all disappeared.]

[This is ridiculous, why is this Braum being played so differently from mine?]

Other players' Braum focuses entirely on protecting their two carries, staying close to them for ages. This guy's Braum just abandons his carries and runs ahead to control the enemy's two carries himself—it's ridiculous.

The team voice chat within TES was also quite lively.

"Jack, you're amazing! Just now, I felt like the mouse you were holding turned into a lotus flower, the keyboard you were using turned into prayer beads, the team uniform you were wearing turned into a cassock, and the competition venue instantly turned into the Great Thunder Temple, bathed in Buddhist light."

"That's enough. It's just that Q went slightly off-target. What can I do when the other person is swaying like that?"

"Yes, haven't you heard of a legendary spear technique? As long as you flick your wrist at the instant the arrow is released, this flick gives the arrow a horizontal acceleration, thus forming an arc. The more you flick your wrist, the more you can get the perfect curve we need."

TES members: ? ? ? ? ?

ε=('ο｀*))) Sigh

This child is beyond saving, just bury him.

After a quadra kill, TES pushed down the mid lane and destroyed RNG's crystal, winning the last game of the day.

With a score of 2-1, TES secured their place in the playoffs.

Congratulations to TES!

"Congratulations to TES on their victory today!" The two commentators shouted in unison the moment the crystal exploded. This was a match that would impact the playoffs, and judging from the excited expressions on their faces, one could already imagine how long this game would serve as fodder for their online gaming sessions.

Since there were no live audience members, there was no need to go through the process of waiting for the audience (the mole) to come up and shake hands. However, there was still interaction between the two players, only the handshake was replaced by a fist bump.

"You're pretty good, that last comeback was something else." Xiao Ming said with a grin as they bumped fists. It was just a victory in one match, so it didn't really make them feel that bad, although it was definitely a bit painful.

Yes, but not much, only a little.

"Haha, that's because you taught him well. But coincidentally, I also have a question I'd like to ask your XLB, a question that has been bothering me for many years."

"what?"

"So, which talent is better for the excavator: Conqueror or Electrocute?"
