You actually want me to...

After hearing Roland's words, the team members were all dumbfounded. Putting aside whether there was vision in the mid lane, just the fact that he was an Azir meant that it would be easy for him to run away.

"Relax, relax, initiating the team fight is my job, just come along." Roland marked his Flash, having absolute confidence in his ability to initiate the team fight.

"Besides, as long as they're not those chickens from Riverwood, what bird in this world dares to claim invincibility, what bird dares to say it's undefeated?"

"..."

Metamorphosis: Chapter Thirty-Five: Project Origin: Shaking

At this moment, in the mid lane, the two mid laners from Pingxiang were spending Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) together, a philosophical atmosphere quietly permeating the sky.

That's how a farming mid laner works.

Whether you go online or not, the line is here, unmoving.

Whether you're fierce or not, he's still there, neither happy nor sad.

To put it bluntly, everyone is just a casual player in the early game. Just focus on farming and occasionally messing with the jungler's F6 camp. There's no need to harass the mid laner.

First, their range is long, and second, their burst damage is low. Instead of thinking about how to target the opponent, it's better to focus on last-hitting minions and try to miss as many as possible.

As for the other paths of life and death?

What does that have to do with him?

Although playing a farming mid-laner can be a bit boring, it's also incredibly relaxing. You don't have to think about anything; you can just be a good farm player.

But toothpaste never expected that some people in this society simply don't want you to be so comfortable. Playing around with prostitutes and expecting a normal job? Get back to work 007!

After going around in circles, Roland finally managed to get past the enemy's jungle.

This time, he started from the blue side's red buff, and while placing wards, he successfully avoided the wards in the river bushes. He arrived at the fog of war in the jungle near the red side's mid tower. Looking at the yellow chicken dancing in the middle of the river, Roland instantly thought of a man wearing a white tank top.

Then, it decisively rushed out of the fog.

"Go, go, go, go! Watch my ultimate move!"

“GOGOGO”.

Although both sides tacitly signed a non-aggression pact in the mid lane, anyone with a little historical knowledge would understand that such a thing only applies when the strength is equal.

Now I have teammates, while you are all alone.

So what's the difference between this agreement and toilet paper?

Seeing the Leona flanking him, Toothpaste was also taken aback, and immediately started using EQ to slide down to the tower. However, he did not expect Roland's initiation to be even more decisive than he had imagined.

"Shh!"

Flash + E [Zenith Blade]

As he flashed, he threw his ultimate skill towards the empty space under the tower not far away, executing the Flash-ER combo in one smooth motion. Almost at the same moment that his E skill hit Azir, Yagao landed and immediately used Flash. In that instant, the aura of a solar flare descended from the sky, precisely targeting Azir's Flash position.

A perfect prediction.

[Holy crap, I've seen this before.]

[This combo was used in the very first match of the King of the Board's debut; he truly relied on one trick to dominate.]

Who cares, as long as it works. Anyway, if it's a phenomenal performance, I'll take the blame if it loses.

[If I, the King of Soldiers, were still in the LPL, Banhuang's combo would definitely miss completely.]

[Unassailable.]

Returning to the toothpaste incident, if Leona's ultimate was still barely acceptable to him, then the Trundle that jumped out of the jungle next completely killed his will to escape.

The familiar giant stick rose again.

This time, the baton used in the chicken attack became the final straw that broke the camel's back for the toothpaste.

[TES_Knight kills JDG_Yagao]

A brilliant one-on-one duel.

"Wow, that's some skill! That maneuver was so smooth and fluid."

"Absolutely, after all, a certain god once said, 'If you have something to show off but don't, you're a coward.'" Roland felt as refreshed as if he had taken a big gulp of an ice-cold drink after giving Roland such a helpful assist.

This is how you show off your skills: if you succeed, you're happy for the whole game.

The show failed, so all I had to do was agonize over it for a few minutes.

Roland felt that most LPL supports played too conservatively. In this instance, if it succeeded, he would have made a brilliant play; if it failed, the only loss would have been his own development and the risk to the AD carry, which was actually within an acceptable range.

Even PYL, the Grim Reaper who died like a dog, was at his peak when he could win even with a dog tied to his bot lane, and he was always confidently initiating blindly.

"This support is a bit outrageous. Are you sure he's just a rookie in the LPL?"

"The player's template is PYL. In all your years playing in the LPL, have you ever heard of a support player giving this kind of evaluation?"

"Isn't that overhyping? Isn't ES's Little C much more stable than him?"

"Stability means fewer miracle plays, and the biggest advantage of other supports is their endless champion pool." Green Hair said this with extreme frustration.

Like ES's XiaoC, banning Thresh is enough to make him retire on the spot.

As for Roland from TES, his ID is already a taunt about the bans. Not to mention his limited support champion pool, he also plays top lane. If TES pulls out a champion like Gragas, they can roam all four lanes. You can imagine how frustrating that would be.

With that champion pool, wouldn't it be better to play top lane? Why are you supporting these old guys who are just competing against each other? These young players these days really have no sportsmanship at all.

TES's spin move caught JDG completely off guard.

The entire team was prepared for the enemy to come and fight in the bottom lane, but as soon as the focus shifted, Kanavi essentially AFK'd in the bottom lane for over ten seconds. By the time they finally realized what was happening and tried to gank the AD carry, JKL had already retreated back to his tower.

That's how reverse thinking works, just like when Xiaotian ambushed Ning in the jungle. Back then, Xiaotian planned to ambush Ning at the jungle monster spawn location, but Ning didn't show up for a long time. Finally, he couldn't resist and made a rash move, only to be met with Ning's arrival and a complete counter-kill.

You might be thinking that the S8 FMVP is greater than the S9 FMVP.

But when you watch the replay after the game, the real reason is that Ning was farming the jungle too slowly, and Xiaotian couldn't wait for him. If you were Xiaotian, wouldn't you be angry?

With the mid laner killed, the mid, bottom, and jungle laners immediately moved to fight the first Rift Herald at the 8-minute mark. JKL, under Roland's command, even recalled to base, giving the opponent no chance whatsoever.

It's not that JKL has started to calm down.

Draven players all know that their lives are extremely important before they get any kills, because every time they die, the bounty they've earned over half a day will be lost.

What could they do? With no one in the bottom lane, JDG had no choice but to take the dragon.

While an 8-minute dragon is slightly better than a 10-minute dragon, an 8-minute Herald can send Duke packing and scrambling into the bushes.

You're insane.

I'm laning, and you're telling me three people plus a Herald might pop out of the bush and I should retreat? But the wave is already inside the tower, so where can I retreat to? Can't we even have a fun time in the top lane anymore?

The top laner is heartbroken.

Especially since JDG is a team that revolves around the top lane, Duke was even more worried when he saw this. The tower gold and plating gold were split evenly between the top and jungle, the mid laner returned to his lane, and Roland also returned to his bottom lane.

By this point, TES had already established a significant early-game advantage.

What they needed to accomplish was the final step: helping Ah Shui lose his virginity.

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

P.S.: As soon as I entered the live stream, I saw that TES had been defeated 3-1. With this, the former four kings have all fallen. [Sad]

Metamorphosis: Chapter Thirty-Six: Why say "again"?

TES's offensive rhythm completely overwhelmed JDG in the second game.

With perfect coordination between the jungler and support in the early game, TES forced small-scale team fights against JDG in almost every corner of the map.

It's impossible to avoid.

The Leona has three crowd control abilities in one combo; if she targets you, it's an initiation, at least forcing you to use Flash. Anyway, I'm not in a rush to control resources or push towers; I'll just pick fights with you in various places, taking advantage of your team's lack of early-game damage, and you still can't do anything about it.

Due to insufficient development time and frequent small-scale team fights where they lost more often than they won, JDG's lineup was severely underdeveloped, which in turn accelerated the players' impatience.

To beat a team known for its stability, you have to disrupt their rhythm like this, just like LPL vs. LCK years ago. To win, you can't let the opponent develop comfortably.

What's strange is that in several kill exchanges, Ah Shui's Draven didn't get a single kill, to the point that TES's voice comms before each team fight sounded like this:

"You absolutely must be careful to stop now. Let's get our Brother Shui a virgin. You're all senior members, so I'm sure you know what I'm doing."

"No problem, it's just taking his virginity. We're experienced, we'll definitely pick the youngest one for him later."

"Don't worry, Jack. Everyone gets nervous the first time, but a man must keep his emotions in check. This will allow him to last longer and give him a better chance to find a way to break through the opponent's defenses."

"I fucking suspect you guys are driving, and I have solid evidence." He glanced helplessly at his teammates' stats. He was the only one left in the entire team without any kills. Even Roland's Leona had been killed with a burst of fire.

But there's nothing I can do.

Putting aside the fact that it's indeed difficult to intentionally secure kills in a chaotic battle, even if the opponents aren't stupid, they all know that Draven must not get the kills. As a result, in the back and forth, Ah Shui was unable to secure a kill even once, and Bo Bo was basically doing all the work for nothing.

"It's almost 15 minutes, and Brother Ka's trial card is about to expire. Let's switch to a vision-based tactical approach."

"No, do you really think I only have fifteen minutes, when people outside are joking about it?"

"Yes, isn't that right?"

"..."

Hearing his teammates' unusually decisive replies through the headset, Karsa fell silent.

After gaining a significant advantage in the early game, TES's lineup strength was forcibly elevated to a higher level. Although the game is now gradually shifting towards the mid-game, JDG's lineup still cannot defeat TES at this point.

However, even if you can't win an argument, you have to argue.

TES's top, mid, and jungle are all fed and have developed too much. If we don't curb them quickly, not to mention anything else, just the fact that Trundle can take Ornn's ultimate and charge into the crowd is a scene worthy of a demon god descending to earth.

In order to avoid appearing to be beaten too badly later on, JDG actually chose to stir things up.

Their method of causing trouble was quite simple: gank Aatrox, who was pushing the mid lane and had just released the Rift Herald.

Tahm Kench drives, Lee Sin follows, and Ornn unleashes his ultimate.

In the short span of time, JDG's mid lane instantly formed a situation where three players ganked the bottom lane.

"Holy crap, they're calling for reinforcements! Guys, help me out!" 369 panicked the moment he saw himself surrounded by three burly enemy players. However, upon checking the minimap, he saw that his teammates weren't heading towards him at all; instead, they were all heading straight for Baron Nashor with perfect coordination.
