You actually want me to...

In other words, even if Green Hair wanted to create an eye, he simply didn't have enough vision to do so.

One link leads to another, one plan leads to another.

With no vision in the dragon pit or the bush, the JDG team had no idea that Ryze had quietly charged up his ultimate. When Mordekaiser finally reached the dragon pit, he found that Xin Zhao, who had been holding his position outside, had used his E skill to dash in. This instantaneous action made Duke and Kanavi immediately think that the Rift Herald was within kill range.

"Whoosh!" Flash

Q Tianyin wave.

Just as Mordekaiser flashed in to lock down Xin Zhao, Lee Sin successfully landed his Q on the Rift Herald in the pit once again. This time, however, only a Rift Herald with 3000+ health remained in the massive pit; the rest of the TES players had vanished.

Where are they?!

The sudden appearance of enemies completely baffled the Duke. Just moments ago, Lee Sin landed a Q on the Rift Herald and saw five people inside, and the Rift Herald was low on health. So the question is, where the hell did all the enemies go?

That is, the instant this idea arose.

The captain suddenly descended from the sky, landing on the three JDG players in the back row. But that wasn't all. Just as Aphelios was about to leave the range of his ultimate, a Hexflash appeared on the wall, followed by a massive anchor that firmly clung to Aphelios.

As the basic attack landed, the ultimate skill was thrown directly at LeBlanc.

This was a classic example of the Thirty-Six Stratagems: feinting to the east while attacking in the west. By exploiting the Lee Sin's Q skill cooldown and JDG's lack of vision, TES successfully executed the teleportation and repositioning strategy that Roland had envisioned.

pioneer?

That's only a few coins. Even if you get all the plating and include a tower, it's only 1200 gold, and that's assuming you get all the plating. But kills are a different story. Five kills alone are 1500 gold, and that doesn't even include assists.

After doing the math, I realized, who the hell would still be the vanguard? Let's start the fight!

The sudden appearance of Titan caught JDG's backline completely off guard. Just as they were preparing to mount an effective counterattack, TES heroes charged out one after another from their own jungle entrance.

Fire sword, runes, bullet hell

One skill after another was thrown at JDG's backline as if it were free. At this point, the JDG players almost immediately realized where the problem lay.

However, just as the Duke and Kanavi were preparing to return to provide support, Zhao Xin suddenly flashed in front of them from behind the wall and then unleashed his ultimate skill, Crescent Guardian, without any hesitation.

"Go back now!"

"I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan."

One ultimate move swept Mordekaiser and Lee Sin back. Afterwards, Karsa stood in the middle of the river with a wicked grin, single-handedly separating JDG's top and jungle on the other side. It has to be said, he really had a bit of the feeling of Zhao Yun guarding the gate alone.

Seeing this, JDG's top and jungle duo were almost furious.

You guys are all animals.

You can play like this when you're at a disadvantage, but you guys have a huge advantage! How can you still pull such underhanded tricks when you have such a big advantage? Don't you have any conscience?

Faced with Xin Zhao's shameless road-blocking method, Mordekaiser had no choice but to use his ultimate to clear the way for Lee Sin. Anyway, Lee Sin's legs are short, and by the time he got there, the team fight would probably be over. He might as well have a good chat with Xin Zhao in the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

However, it was already too late.

Zhao Xin's ultimate ability allows him to hold off two opponents single-handedly. However, JDG's backline couldn't withstand the pain of being outnumbered.

Under the onslaught of four TES players, Loken couldn't even use Flash before dying on the spot. Thresh, needless to say, used almost all his abilities to cover LeBlanc's retreat. Just as the team finished off the JDG duo, Lee Sin charged in headfirst.

Oh no, we're doomed.

With a 0-for-4 exchange, TES secured a resounding victory and even managed to reclaim the Rift Herald they no longer wanted. The team fight ended with them making a killing.

[Wow... you can play a competition like this?]

[Aren't they afraid the enemy will discover their unconventional team fight strategies?]

[They couldn't see it. TES had a huge early-game advantage, arriving quickly and placing a control ward each in the dragon pit and the upper bush. JDG couldn't secure vision at all.]

Karsa's Xin Zhao is really cheeky, flashing in to split the battlefield, so flashy.

Ultimately, this was a chain reaction triggered by Kanavi's early collapse. The failed top lane gank gave Xin Zhao an early lead in experience and gold, and Miss Fortune's multiple recalls to increase her strength laid the foundation for winning the 4v4 team fight in the bottom lane. Then, relying on this advantage, they began to accelerate and build vision. Every decision they made was interconnected.

Of course, TES did overextend themselves in this play; if they had played more cautiously, they would have had a high probability of securing the Rift Herald as well.

At this point, JDG's system has completely collapsed.

Mordekaiser couldn't beat the more experienced Gangplank at first, Lee Sin was being chased around the jungle by Xin Zhao, and Ryze, once he got his items, used a few skills to lock LeBlanc in the mid lane. Not to mention the bot lane, those two had already started tower diving.

With TES's lead snowballing, even the most composed JDG couldn't keep up. By the 26-minute mark, when TES was averaging more than one major item ahead of JDG, the game could no longer be delayed.

1 is better than 0

TES took the lead.

P.S.: You might not believe it, but after watching YJ's livestream, the operator I was least looking forward to was Chen. If it weren't for her attack style resembling Graves and her limited-time status...

First Encounter: Chapter 106: I'm Stop Pretending, I'm Laying My Hands Down.

"Holy crap, they really won that easily?"

"You're the King of the Board, my Superman!"

"What are you afraid of in the future when you play against JDG? You'll turn Kanavi's games into a horror game. You're not going to use your crooked ideas against us later, are you?"

"Hiss~ Given this guy's personality, it's actually quite possible."

Hearing his four teammates' evaluations of him through his headset, Roland couldn't help but lower his head.

Sure enough, that's how humans are. Once something appears that goes against their common sense, they will naturally categorize it as something different.

Well, since that's the case, I might as well just come clean sooner rather than later.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be met with such estrangement." Roland sat in his gaming chair, shook his head, and said with a "what's the use" attitude, raising his head: "I'm coming clean. I am the legendary 81st generation successor of Guiguzi, who knows everything about astronomy, geography, human relationships, yin and yang, the Eight Trigrams, and the art of Qimen Dunjia. Don't get excited when you see me. I'll sign autographs one by one. Everyone will get one in a while, everyone will get one."

Referee Xiao Gaigai, who watched the whole thing from behind: .....

Good heavens, is this the e-sports division of Deyun Club?

Loved it.

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere on the TES side, JDG's side was filled with all sorts of strange emotions. It wasn't that losing the game affected them, but rather that Kanavi's suppression from beginning to end made them vaguely feel a bad trend.

By the time the playoffs are reached, each team's style of play has basically been established. In terms of playstyle, there's no inherent superiority or inferiority among all styles. As for which style represents the current meta, you'll have to wait and see who wins the championship this season.

Whoever is the champion, is the version.

But here's the problem: JDG, despite being a top-tier team, immediately had their strategy figured out. Kanavi, one of their key players, seemed to be on radar throughout the game, with his every move being precisely predicted by the opponent. How could they possibly win against that?

This is the playoffs! At this point, it's very difficult for a team to change its playing style. What can they do? They can only rely on the coach.

Upon returning to the backstage lounge, the JDG team immediately focused their attention on coach Hongmi. As is well known, Hongmi is a coach who strongly favors the jungle carry playstyle, and Kanavi's jungle carry playstyle is fundamentally inseparable from Hongmi's influence.

Seeing the eager looks on his teammates' faces, Hongmi pointed to a person in the replay video: "It's him, he saw through your rhythm and route completely." Everyone looked closely and saw that Roland's portrait was clearly in the spot where Hongmi was pointing.

"How could that be? He's just a rookie support player."

"Although I was also surprised, it was true. Almost five to seven seconds before you made your move, his mark had already started guiding Karsa to counter-gank. This was hard for me to believe, because I had also looked into this player."

As a head coach, collecting data on players on the field is a coach's hobby (he is a coach, not one of those useless coaches who occupy coaching positions but whose drafting is worse than Silver level players). Players with distinct personal styles like Roland have obviously been added to Redmi's card pool.

What really bothered him was...

How come you, a professional support player who started as a top laner, are so familiar with jungle carry strategies? What kind of weird skill points did you allocate?

"Then next round?"

"Let's proceed as usual. Even if we lose, we should at least figure out if he really understands you, so we can be prepared."

There was no other way. To find out whether he had truly figured out the route or just guessed it by accident, Redmi had to let Kanavi try again, even if it meant losing the game. It wasn't until just before the second game started, watching his players get into shape one by one, that Redmi finally sat back in his coach's chair, staring blankly at the TES players on the other side of the screen.

Although he didn't quite understand the feeling, he inexplicably felt a strange sense of familiarity with this support character, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"what happened to you?"

"No, I just suddenly felt a bit sentimental. Maybe I've been too busy lately and my memory isn't what it used to be." With a sigh, Redmi decided not to dwell on it anymore, got up, and went back onto the field to prepare for the draft phase.

Forty minutes later, as countless coaches and players watched JDG's base explode once again, they knew that their chance had come.

With a major battle imminent, the team's weakness has been exposed, which is a fatal flaw. It's fortunate that TES isn't in JDG's half of the bracket; otherwise, JDG would probably be dreaming about it tonight.

Online, the situation is even more volatile.

[Kasa is on fire today, he's everywhere on the map.]

[Kanavi doesn't seem as strong as everyone says. He barely made any impact in these two matches; he was completely outplayed.]

[JDG has clearly been figured out by TES. Didn't you see how TES was just waiting for JDG to come in and dodge in several team fights?]

I don't know about other things, but I do know that management studies have gone completely crazy.

Heaven knows how many times Guan Ge's Weibo has been flooded with comments from casual fans. Just a week before the match, during a live broadcast, he predicted JDG would beat TES 2-0. But today, while he was commentating live, TES actually beat JDG 2-0.

To be honest, that's why management is considered a god.

It's because every prediction he makes is based on sound reasoning, taking into account both the team's strength and the players' condition, which is completely different from Joker's random predictions. But ironically, these rational predictions always turn out the opposite.

Even Guan Ge himself was completely bewildered on the commentary stage.

Meanwhile, the TES players were having a blast.

Although this round of matches will not affect their rankings at all, and it is even their final match of the regular season, winning the game is definitely more satisfying than losing.

"Wow, Roland, your prediction is absolutely amazing!" Casa was genuinely shocked. Although Roland's predictions weren't 100% accurate throughout the match, he could still guarantee a 60% success rate.

What does 60% mean?

That means one out of two attempts will succeed. Anyone who knows the jungler position understands that the early game tempo is crucial. A 60% success rate is practically a death sentence for the enemy jungler's early game tempo.

"It can only target Kanavi; it's really not effective against other junglers."

"That's enough, JDG is a favorite to win the championship this year, this is really useful."

"Hey, wait a minute, I have a question." Hearing this, Knight stepped in to interrupt the two's praise. "Since Aban's understanding of jungle carries is so mature that he can use it to teach other junglers, does that mean you could try to teach your jungle carry experience to Kage instead, so we'd have another strategy?"

A-Ban: ? ? ?

Casa, White Crescent: !!!
