You actually want me to...

"It's okay. When you get tired of playing top lane, we can just team up as a top and support combo."

As soon as the match started, Roland joked around with 369. In his opinion, the team's atmosphere was rather slow to warm up.

Left Hand is shy, Ka Ge is serious, P Emperor is silent, and only 369 is the only player he can communicate with at this stage.

Sure enough, not long after they waited, they saw the top laner Rumble sneaking towards the top lane tri-bush. Judging from his movements, he was trying to enter TES's jungle to establish vision control in the upper jungle.

"See, I told you so."

"Great, you deserve at least a third of the credit for the top lane advantage this time."

Seeing Rumble's figure stealthily approaching from the opposite side, even Zuo Shou and Ka Ge, who hadn't come over yet, had their eyes light up. If this Rumble were caught by these two, wouldn't he have to use Flash to escape?

Once he uses Flash, the rhythm of the game becomes very clear, and it's like starting a military training mode.

The instant Rambo entered the bush, two massive figures immediately came into Cube's view, startling him so much that he almost dropped his mouse.

Just as he was about to run away, he was immediately stunned by a basic attack from Titan with his passive ability active, while 369 controlled Ornn to start dealing damage.

At this moment, the two commentators offstage, seeing TES successfully ambush their team, exclaimed in surprise:

"Wow, the Titan's counter-gank was a huge success!"

"It can only be said that this support player, Aban, really understands the top lane too well." Everyone was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make perfect sense. Everyone knew that this guy was a notorious background character in ranked games, and he probably did a lot of things like invading and warding in ranked games, so it wasn't surprising that he was here counter-ganking.

Rumble, who was inexplicably hit by a combo, instinctively and decisively used Flash.

The world is vast, but preserving your life is the most important thing.

If he gives up first blood at level 1, then he can forget about dominating the top lane. Ornn's 450 magic resistance from farming minions will make him despair.

Seeing that Rumble had been forced to use Flash at level one, the live stream chat exploded instantly.

【666666】

How can you win a game where one top laner is fighting two top laners?

No, no, no, they've clearly forgotten they're playing support and are thinking they're playing top lane.

[Level 1, top lane Rumble, no Flash, I can already see TES's next move.]

Originally, I just wanted to create a cube to ensure my safety and vision. I thought that if I invaded, I would at most encounter a sheep, and at worst, I would lose some health and retreat. But the problem is that there is a Titan next to me, which is very dangerous.

"Damn, I didn't expect their support to be there too."

"It's alright, it's probably been studied. Just play it safe."

Both sides were newly formed five-man teams that had just started to gel, so mistakes in the early game were inevitable. While VG's players were somewhat disappointed that their top laner Rumble's Flash was taken away, they weren't entirely unable to accept it. After securing their early advantage, Roland leisurely drove his Titan back to the bottom lane.

In this match, they were laning against Kai'Sa and Leona. In terms of damage, Kai'Sa definitely couldn't beat Miss Fortune in the early game. As an all-around AD carry, Kai'Sa's weakness lies in her low damage and short range in the early game, with only 525 range.

While Miss Fortune's range isn't particularly long, it's still 550. That extra 25 yards might not make a big difference in a typical ranked game, but in the hands of top AD carries in professional leagues, they can completely overwhelm the opponent.

With Miss Fortune's Q splash damage and her almost unavoidable E skill, her laning phase is definitely stronger than her opponent's. The only problem is Leona, who is currently the meta's favorite. She's incredibly tanky and deals high damage, with three out of her four skills having crowd control. If a real fight breaks out, the bot lane might get traded.

Overall, TES will definitely have lane priority in the early game, but the specifics will depend on the players' performance.

As soon as they went online, both sides started vying for level two. Since the top lane had been ganked, iboy and Maestor naturally assumed that the Titan had leveled up his hook at level one. However, in the minds of professional players, a Titan with a hook and Miss Fortune would have absolutely no wave clear ability at level one.

This is equivalent exchange.

Based on this information, VG's bot lane duo felt they could make a play.

However, just as Leona stepped in to try and take down a melee minion with her support item, Roland, controlling Nautilus, raised his hand and activated his E skill, "Surging Current." The shockwave not only reduced the health of the surrounding minions but also hit Leona in the face.

iboy: ? ? ?

Maestor: ? ? ?

WTF!?

The moment they saw Nautilus unleash his E skill, Leona and Kai'Sa immediately began to retreat without hesitation, while simultaneously starting to frantically mark Rumble in the top lane.

"Cube, didn't you say you got ganked by Nautilus at level 1? But he leveled up his E skill!?"

"Huh!? I saw him raise his hand and flash directly. I thought he learned Q, so I didn't dare to gamble at all."

"You..."

One wrong step leads to another. With just a little thought, the VG team understood Roland's little tricks at the start of the game: first, he counter-ganked to prevent them from placing wards, then he pretended to raise his hand to bait them into using Flash, and finally he hid his skills and returned to the bottom lane to ambush them.

Holy crap, is this really something a rookie support player from LDL could do?

"See, P-King, the advantage is here."

"Indeed, but why do you call me Emperor P?" These days, the title "Emperor" isn't a good one, and this overly familiar support player, Emperor P, is giving me a bit of a headache.

"You don't understand, do you? If I call you P-man from the beginning, it's like directly feeding you milk. But if I start calling you by the character 'huang' (emperor) from the beginning, that's like feeding you in reverse, and you'll get stronger and stronger."

"Ah..." Although she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't find a reason to resist.

Due to a misjudgment by VG's bot lane duo at level one, they were able to move the bot lane minions.

If TES manages to secure level 2 first, and you don't engage the bot lane minions in the early game, the bot lane minions can still push towards VG, and iboy might even block them in front of the tower.

The problem is that they made a move, so the current state of the bottom lane minion wave is that it has been pushed, but not completely; it has only been pushed a little bit towards VG's side.

At this distance, TES only needs to place a ward in the river to transition, and VG's jungler will be extremely annoyed, because at level three, this position is impossible to gank, and it's a one-hit kill.

Although the director failed to capture all these details, a few players and coaches had already quietly narrowed their eyes by this point.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

This support seems to be quite something.

First Encounter: Chapter Twelve: You didn't expect that, did you? I'm back!

In just over a minute of laning, Roland had already felt the difference in skill between the two bot lane AD carries.

As one of the dominant bot lane duos in LDL, P's AD carry skills aren't actually as bad as people say. Or rather, any AD carry who makes it to the LPL is pretty good.

But the problem is, you also have to consider who you're comparing yourself to.

Standing opposite him now is iboy, the former prodigy of EDG. What kind of place is EDG? It's a place where the bot lane consistently picks the best AD carry. How could an ADC from there possibly be any better than an average AD carry?

Although iboy has a significant weakness in integrating into the team, you can't deny that the reason he has been able to stay in the LPL and even have a decent audience is because his laning ability is truly outstanding.

Despite having a 25-yard range advantage, P-King couldn't gain much advantage over the enemy Kai'Sa in auto-attacks. If it weren't for Miss Fortune's skill mechanics being too overpowered in lane harassment, the bot lane might have already been counter-suppressed by the enemy just by auto-attacks, which is just ridiculous.

Another wave of Q skill hooks were used to target the enemy, and Roland took advantage of the Aftershock cooldown to pressure the enemy bot lane duo and force a trade of health, directly pushing the enemy back to their tower.

In this version, Miss Fortune paired with Nautilus or Leona is already a lane bully combination. If you have a hero advantage and don't bully the opponent during the laning phase, are you just waiting for them to bully you in team fights?

That's obviously impossible.

Meanwhile, good news also came from their teammates.

TES's biggest advantage lies in their top, mid, and jungle being virtually invincible in the first fifteen minutes. Karsa, as a seasoned veteran and former BO1 legend, possesses a unique understanding of early-game tempo management.

Just a few minutes into the game, Rumble in the top lane had already been ganked by Karsa because he didn't have Flash, and Karsa had successfully secured the Rift Scuttler. He's now rushing to the bottom lane.

This is also why Roland chose this time to force a trade of health with the opponent, because if the bottom lane doesn't push the lane, there's no way to support the jungler in starting the double river crab.

Whether the jungler's early game rhythm is comfortable or not directly affects the quality of the early game, so controlling both river crabs is a must.

"Alright, bro, you can eat the river crab in the bottom lane as much as you want, we'll protect you."

"Nice, this rhythm is so comfortable."

"By the way, if we catch the enemy jungler's movements later, let's take the dragon while we're at it." After saying that, Roland marked his Flash.

"Wow~ You've got something here."

As a seasoned veteran, Karsa understood his thoughts in an instant. And just at that moment, knowing the opponent was starting with two river crabs and that he had no hope of contesting them, VG's jungler chose to gank mid directly.

Qiyana needs to be fully focused during the laning phase against Irelia. With his own jungler and support near the dragon pit, ZuoShou relaxed his vigilance against the enemy jungler a little, and was caught out, forced to use Flash.

"Mine, mine."

"It's alright, just stay calm."

Seeing the enemy Gragas finish ganking mid and head top, TES immediately started taking the dragon. VG definitely anticipated their move, but they had no chance to contest the first dragon, so they had to give it up.

Putting aside the fact that the bot lane duo's health was low, just the fact that Qiyana's health didn't drop even after using Flash meant that VG had no reason to even consider taking the dragon.

He started the dragon fight, returned to lane, pushed the lane again, and went home. Everything was going according to Roland's plan.

The opening elemental dragon in this game was an Earth Dragon, and after that, a Wind Dragon icon appeared, meaning the third elemental dragon could be either a Water Dragon or a Fire Dragon. If TES can secure the next Dragon Soul, neither would be too bad. The Fire Dragon Soul focuses on damage, which can significantly reduce the possibility of being turned around in this version. The Water Dragon, on the other hand, grants them a debuff called "Zhou Jie's Resentment," which might provide additional damage against the opponent's LSP (Least Key Target).

Roland, setting off from home again, didn't go to the bottom lane this time, but instead chose the top lane. He also marked the retreat signal at the bottom tower and said to P-Emperor:

"P-King, be careful in the bot lane later, don't get caught out."

"Huh!? What's going on?"

"Last night I observed the celestial phenomena and discovered that something big is about to happen in the top lane, so I'm going to go to the top lane to buy some oranges. You can wait in the bottom lane for a while."

"??????"

To be honest, if this were a ranked match, P-King would have already been ready to AFK.

When playing this combination that counters the enemy's bottom lane, the biggest mistake is when the support leaves right after you've started to exert pressure. This allows the enemy to catch up in farm, and some might even choose to force an engagement, potentially turning all the hard-earned advantage into a one-shot kill.

But this is a competition, and considering the current version and the coach's preference for the top lane, P could only swallow his anger and decided to merge with the turret in the bottom lane.

There's nothing we can do. Without skill or fame, AD carry is destined to be a sacrifice role; no one can save him.

Meanwhile, in the top lane, Rumble and Ornn's melee combat never stopped. Since neither of them had much burst damage before level six, and it was difficult to unleash a full combo, even without Rumble's Flash, the two were relentlessly rubbing each other in the back without any jungle interference.

Having picked Rumble, VG naturally wouldn't let Karsa keep harassing their top laner.

After Gragas left the base for the second time, he had already taken control of the vision in the upper jungle and kept a close eye on Karsa, who was trying to gank. Under the enemy's tight surveillance, Karsa really didn't have much of a chance to cause trouble for Rumble.

"The spider on the other side really wants to mess with you."

"I see it. Can you keep an eye on it for me? I have to push this wave, otherwise I'll be in danger after you leave." Cube communicated with his jungler, wanting to make sure he was safe.

"Go ahead and push it, I'm watching the spider right now."

"Row."

Since Rumble's Flash is not ready, he now needs to make sure his jungler is watching the enemy jungler or is nearby if he wants to push the lane. Otherwise, if he dies once at this point, Rumble's rhythm will be disrupted.

It's very simple. If you die at level five, the top laner faces a cruel choice: if you use Teleport to return to lane, your bot lane is likely to be tower-dived at any time. But if you don't use Teleport to return to lane, you, who are slower to level six than the opponent, are likely to be tower-dived.

Altruism or selfishness? A cruel choice.
