You actually want me to...

WE's bot lane duo also understood the importance of securing level 2 first, and didn't intend to engage in direct confrontations with TES's bot lane duo in the early game. After all, Aphelios is a champion with almost no fighting ability at level 1, and if the opponent gets level 2 first, Missing has no doubt that the enemy support will flash in and unleash a combo attack on her.

That's exactly what the other team does in regular practice matches.

After securing level two, the two teams spread out, with the four bottom laners forming a parallelogram formation, each standing in their respective positions (you don't need to learn this, because you'll instinctively stand like that). However, Roland's position was closer to his AD carry and also relatively forward.

There's no way around it; our AD carry naturally has the ability to catch Qs.

If you stay too far away from him, he can get hooked and comboed by the enemy support in no time.

Having a tough guy by his side at least provides some deterrent effect.

Then, at approximately 2 minutes and 45 seconds, Roland first marked a retreat signal for the top lane, and then seized an opportunity when Aphelios was last-hitting minions, flashing in and using his E skill, Skullbreaker, to grab Aphelios and pull him back.

Without any warning, and even though it was still some time before both sides in the bottom lane reached level three, he went in at level two.

Naturally, Jiu Meng was caught red-handed by the other side.

"Wait, why did they suddenly start fighting in the bottom lane?"

"I didn't notice either, but this wave should just be a blood exchange, right? Level 2 shouldn't be that deadly." As soon as he finished speaking, Monkey saw Roland immediately apply Ignite to the opponent, looking like he was determined to finish them off.

???

Once that spark ignites, the situation immediately changes.

After taking another punch from Sett, Old Dream counted the spears stuck in his body and, without hesitation, flashed away. At the same time, Thresh hooked Sett, who had initiated the team fight, applied Ignite, and began to retaliate, instantly turning the bot lane into a chaotic brawl.

"They've been tricked. Big Head, cover for me."

"Row."

This is how Thresh initiates team fights: he can engage the enemy AD carry, but after engaging, he will inevitably get engaged on by the enemy support. But that's okay.

I didn't learn any skills at level two, wasn't it all for this moment?

Take a step back.

W [Intentional Fist] was unleashed. Because the user had actively created distance, this Intentional Fist only hit Thresh, but it still caused considerable damage.

Meanwhile, Kalista began to auto-attack forward while forcing the enemy into a new position, creating an opportunity for Sett to retreat. Just as Thresh was hesitating whether to use Flash to chase, JackeyLove landed an auto-attack on a low-health minion nearby and drew his spear.

"Sizzle~"

Seeing another small chunk of health suddenly disappear, Missing gave up the idea of ​​pursuing and began to retreat as well.

After the AD carry and support traded Flashes, the conflict in the bottom lane came to an end.

Roland was grinning from ear to ear as he looked at the Aphelios and Thresh, both down to half health. Although his Sett had retreated with low health and no Flash left after this fight, they hadn't lost out at all.

The details of the matchup are often reflected in every aspect.

Having been in the LPL for so long, Roland is naturally no longer as reckless as before. Since Kalista's spear pull requires minions to chip away at it, and Sett's W is also an AOE attack, the red team's minions were quietly affected by the AOE during the recent skirmish.

This means that the minion wave has already been pushed to the tower.

This detail, which might go unnoticed by anyone under normal circumstances, was the key to TES's subsequent attack.

Here's a brief explanation of the concept of minion waves:

The basic concept is that having more minions than the opponent equals pushing the lane, while the opponent's backline minions or last-hitting minions equals pushing forward. Controlling the lane and pushing the lane are opposites; if you push the lane, you can't control it, and if you want to control it, you can't push it all. After the minion wave resets at the tower, both sides' minion waves have roughly the same health and number. The minion wave that's closer to your tower will slowly push forward, while the opponent's wave will push forward. Therefore, when pushing the lane into the tower, you must ensure that no minions are left behind.

TES pushed all the minions in after Sett used a Flash and had most of his health left. So after the minion wave reset, unless Old Dream doesn't farm, the wave will definitely push towards TES.

You might not feel much of a wave of minions, but by the second wave, they're already close to the river.

Okay, here comes the key point.

Karsa was clearing the jungle from top to bottom. At 2:45, Sett and Aphelios swapped Flash. At 3:25, the top and bottom lanes' river crabs spawned. Once Olaf discovered that the top lane river crab was still there, he would definitely know that Graves was clearing the jungle.

The minion wave spawns every 30 seconds. The wave was pushed by Flash at 2 minutes and 45 seconds, and the second wave will spawn at 3 minutes and 45 seconds. So here's the problem: you see the wave in the mid lane, and you know that Graves should have just finished taking the Rift Scuttler and be in the bot lane by then. To make matters worse, you used Flash in the previous wave.

Would you dare to eat this route?

Yes, the WE bot lane duo is currently in such an awkward position. It's especially disgusting when Sett hides in the bushes with Hexflash runes.

What can we do then?

We can only watch from afar and get experience points from them.

The advantage of the bottom lane was thus "operated" in a simple and straightforward way.

Meanwhile, in the top lane at the same time, thanks to Roland's marking and the coach's pre-match supervision, 369 wasn't as reckless in the first game.

Although he's easy to catch, he's not stupid.

Your own jungler farms from top to bottom. If you push the lane when the jungler is level 3, isn't that just asking for trouble?

When superiors are timid and subordinates are pressured, the rhythm is established.

However, Roland was naturally not happy with such a small achievement. At this moment, Old Dream was clearly in a state of rationality telling himself to give up, while desire was constantly driving him. He seized the opportunity and used Hexflash to start casting.

"Whoosh!"

A few seconds later, Jin Fu's figure successfully appeared around Yue Nan.

At the extreme distance, he once again used his powerful hand to pull back his skull.

While somewhat surprised by Roland's precise control over Sett's E skill range, Old Dream remained calm in the face of the enemy's aggressive engage. "I still have Jackson," he thought, "oops, I mean, I still have Heal. You, a support with so little health, dare to come up here recklessly? You want to die?"

Just as Missing hooked Jin Fu with her backhand, a nimble figure flashed by, and the smoke grenade successfully caught both of them.

"Keep your head down."

"Oh!"

Metamorphosis: Chapter Four: The Plan Succeeded.

"Wow, that was an incredibly aggressive move by Aban."

"After all, he's a Sett pro. Aphelios is definitely going to have to go back to base this time." With a perfectly timed gank, Karsa reduced Aphelios's health bar to almost nothing.

Then... I started helping the bottom lane push the lane.

It has to be said that WE was truly disgusted by this. Although the root cause was their own failure to control their desires, which led to them being caught by the enemy support, seeing the three enemy players shamelessly pushing the lane towards the tower filled them with despair.

Go back now, you'll lose at least two waves of trading.

But if you don't go home, they'll start dominating you. At this point, the mid laner can't leave the mid lane at all, and even if they could, they wouldn't have enough time to come and support. Not to mention the jungler Olaf, who just left home.

So how can you choose?

We have no choice but to let it go.

Watching the minions being devoured one by one by their own defensive towers, Jiu Meng could only reluctantly pull Missing to recall. This wave was a huge loss.

[TES never expected that there would still be teams daring to let them play Sett these days.]

One hero, roaming all three lanes—that's the charm of Sett.

[WE's bot lane is still a bit weak in the laning phase, but this was definitely a good start.]

[The jungler's rhythm is too smooth. He clearly ganked once, but his level is higher than Sad Olaf's.]

The audience was not surprised by the current situation. Jiu Meng is not known for his lane dominance; his strength lies in his team fight damage output, and he is very good at finding good positions to engage and deal damage.

As for his laning ability...

To put it simply, being able to farm peacefully without teammates' help is considered incredibly lucky.

"How about it? Isn't this style of play awesome?"

"It's really fun. I even feel like I can chase Olaf down and auto-attack him when I encounter him in the jungle."

As mentioned before, the experience from five jungle camps and five minions on the lane is enough to reach level four. Moreover, he also managed to steal some lane resources, so his economy wasn't lagging behind. After returning to base, his jungle camps had just spawned again. After completing another run around the jungle and then farming some lane resources, he was already level six.

Based on his understanding of the jungler role, even if Olaf kept farming, he wouldn't reach level six at the same time.

"This playstyle is too reliant on laning. If the enemy Aphelios hadn't been forced to recall this wave, Graves coming over to farm this wave would have caused us to lose a lot of experience."

"Relax, relax, we just sent it back to him."

Undoubtedly, TES has already started experimenting with jungle carry tactics in today's matches. Although they can't be as flexible as the player they remember, they can still create a good development environment for the jungler based on the team's characteristics.

Push the line, go home, then go out again.

This time, Roland didn't choose to roam to the mid or top lane, because he didn't have Flash.

The bot lane is alright; if you position yourself well, you can use Hexflash to ambush and combo. The top lane is too far, and the mid lane is too short. Going there is mostly just about participating and saying hello; you can't really help your teammates.

"Be careful, 369. I feel like you'll definitely be under a lot of scrutiny when you go out on the road."

"Be careful... he's already here."

Seeing Olaf suddenly rush out of the bushes and Camille pulling up the rope in the distance, 369 instinctively pressed Flash without even thinking.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, one must dodge an attack without killing the other.

By using Flash as a trade, 369 successfully avoided a gank this time, and then started marking the distress signal to call for help from his teammates.

"I have a feeling he'll be back later, Brother Ka, can you come over for a bit?"

"Turn around the corner."

"Thanks, Karsa." 369 glanced at Karsa's position on Wafi and immediately felt relieved. At this distance, if the enemy jungler really came again, Karsa's Graves should still be able to provide support.

only...

When 369 saw that after Kasa finished farming the Wawafei, he turned around and walked towards the Three Wolves without hesitation, a big question mark popped into his head.

"Brother Ka...didn't you just say you'd turn around and help me?"

"That's right, I'm going to turn around and help you. After I clear the two patches of monsters that have respawned, I'll immediately turn around and help you. Just roll a 9 for now to be on the safe side, I'll be right there."

"???"

"So, love can disappear, right?"

"Don't ask, the only answer is that I loved you."

Seeing that the jungler had no intention of coming up, 369 could only pin his hopes on Knight.

"Knight..."

"Don't worry, 369, we will never give up on you. Once I reach level six, I'll immediately head to the top."
