You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 160: Easy First Blood, EDG the God of Internal Wars!

On the large screen at the venue, the game entered the loading screen.

Blue side LGD: Top lane Tristana, Jungle Elise, Mid lane LeBlanc, Bot lane Ashe and Thresh.

Red side EDG: Top lane Gragas, Jungle Graves, Mid lane Karma, Bot lane Caitlyn and Braum.

While waiting for the loading screen, the camera panned across the players' seats.

Both players appeared to be fairly relaxed.

After all, the BO5 has only just begun, and the score is still 0-0, so there's nothing to panic about.

Except Mouse's face looked a little unnatural and tense.

No matter how much the head coach tried to encourage him, Mouse was still a little flustered.

This panic stems from the fear of the unknown.

For him, the Tristana top lane was a completely unknown factor in this game.

He had no experience laning against Tristana in the top lane, so he became afraid.

Is it better to retreat into a shell and endure the pressure?

Should we send more people to gank the top lane?
These two thoughts switched back and forth in Mouse's mind.

He was having trouble making a decision.

Forget it, I'll just have to bear the pressure!

Die twice less, eat less of the economy.

Even if we lose, I won't get any of the blame.

In his mind, Mouse had already prepared himself for this laning phase to be dominated by Zhou Dian's long range and short range, resulting in him being crushed in CS.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~
A little over a minute later, accompanied by in-game sound effects, ten heroes from both sides landed in the fountains at opposite ends of Summoner's Rift.

The first game of the Spring Split semifinals between LGD and EDG has officially begun.

The crowd began chanting "Go EDG!"

Then came the cheers of "LGD, keep going!"

The volume of the two slogans is about the same.

They were all shouting quite enthusiastically.

Both teams had a considerable number of fans who came to the venue to cheer for their respective teams.

They have to put in a lot of effort when it comes to shouting slogans.

It was at this moment that many viewers in the LCK livestream next door started commenting, "Zhou Shen is playing Yasuo."

Many people immediately left the LCK live stream.

After all, SKT is currently leading the LCK finals 2-0.

In the ongoing third game, SKT also has a significant advantage and looks set to sweep KT 3-0.

It's really not very interesting.

It's better to watch Zhou Shen play Yasuo.

However, when these people clicked on the LPL live stream...

Look to the top left corner.

At a glance, I noticed that under the ID LGDZhou, there was a small cannon avatar.

The comments section immediately erupted with insults.

[Damn it, Zhou Shen is playing Tristana! Where's the Yasuo?]

You call this Yasuo?

Hahaha, some idiot dog fell for it!

[That liar is a complete fraud!]

[Wait, what happened to the Yasuo top lane? Why isn't Zhou Shen playing it?]

[It got banned by EDG!]

Wow, they really banned Yasuo! Typical EDG, they're playing like complete cowards!

"Top lane with a little cannon? I'd like to see what's going on!"

[The first thing I saw when I came in was that Zhou Shen wasn't treating A Guang like a human being; he even picked Tristana top lane!]

Ah Guang's been messing around with that wine barrel again, looks like he's in deep trouble!

【.】

The viewers in the live stream exchanged a few insults, but quickly quieted down.

in the game.

After buying their starting gear, both teams grouped up and headed straight for the opposing team's red zone after emerging from the fountain.

"Both sides made the same move from the start: invading the other's red zone!"

"However, they didn't encounter any of the opposing players, so EDG chose to retreat to their upper jungle to defend!" Wang Duoduo said.

After EDG entered LGD's red buff area (blue side), Graves and Braum placed their wards in two bushes in LGD's red buff area before EDG withdrew.

On the other side, LGD's top, mid, and jungle players also left EDG's jungle after leaving two wards in EDG's red buff area.

Eimy placed a ward in the grass next to F6.

Zhou Dian placed a ward in the bush next to the red buff.

Anyway, we definitely need to determine Graves' jungle path.

After LGD's top, mid, and jungle players withdrew, EDG's top and jungle players returned to their own red buff area.

Next, Graves placed a control ward in the bush behind his own red buff.

Because Graves can clear jungle camps without taking damage.

So in this game, Ai Luoli chose to only bring one health potion when leaving, and spent 75 of her remaining 100 gold to buy a true sight ward.

Immediately block vision from the start.

Then, Gragas and Graves crouched in the bush where the control ward was located.

The game lasts 1 minute and 34 seconds.

Eimy's spider crossed the river and entered EDG's red buff area.

Neither Tristana nor Elise could spot Graves's whereabouts because the two wards they placed in EDG's red buff area were effective.

Therefore, Eimy thinks Graves should start with the blue buff in the bottom jungle this game.

So he planned to time his entry and steal EDG's red buff when it respawned.

However, the spider had just turned the corner.

Suddenly, a large-bellied woman rushed out of the bushes ahead.

Caught off guard, Eimy didn't even have time to react before flashing.

Spider was immediately stunned by the barrel's fleshy impact (E).

Spiders are so small.

By the time I recovered from the stun, I had already lost most of my health to Gragas and the enemy jungler.

Eimy was too lazy to use Flash.

Even if you flash your lights, you can't escape.

Then, Spider was killed, and Graves got the kill.

First Blood!
The notification sound for First Blood echoed throughout the entire arena.

The EDG fans in the audience immediately cheered.

"Damn it, they knew I was going to steal the red buff and ambushed me here!" Eimy said, extremely annoyed. "Now I've lost my blue buff!"

After securing the first blood on the Spider, Graves headed straight for LGD's blue buff area.

We crossed the river and arrived behind LGD's blue buff.

Graves used his Quick Draw (E) to pass through the wall and take LGD's blue buff.

In the live stream chat, viewers were still discussing the Spider's first blood. [Oh dear, the thief got caught!]

[You like stealing? I'll break your legs!]

[Hilarious! The jungler is still the same jungler; he can't stand not feeding a couple of kills!]

[The jungler's classic bluff backfired, giving up first blood and the blue buff as well!]

[Don't jump in so fast, you only got first blood! Why are you acting like you've already won?!]

This is what pork offal looks like!

[Something's not right. That girl Ai Luoli even bought a true sight ward and is specifically hiding in this bush, as if she's certain the spider will come in!]

Indeed, I didn't understand his True Sight at first, but now it makes sense—it was specifically designed for spiders!

【Seriously, how did EDG know their jungler was going to come in and steal jungle monsters? That's ridiculous!】

[They're truly unbeatable in domestic competitions! EDG has thoroughly analyzed all of LPL's opponents!]

【.】

Back to the game.

After the spider respawned, it went straight for its own red buff.

Eimy knew that the blue buff at home was definitely gone.

Let's see how many jungle monsters are left in the upper half of the jungle.

They might get wiped out by Graves.

However, after Graves finished taking LGD's blue buff, he left LGD's blue buff area and went into the river.

The main reason is that Ai Luoli suddenly wanted to gank the top lane.

Twenty seconds ago, the top lane minions had just met.

Zhou Dian made no move to take advantage of his long reach to whittle down the barrel's health.

Instead, he immediately started pushing the lane with the cannon.

Knowing full well that the enemy Graves was in their own blue buff area.

However, Zhou Dian still chose to push the lane, aiming to distract Graves and give Eimy some breathing room.

The cannon directly applied Explosive Spark (E) to EDG's ranged minions and then unleashed a barrage of attacks.

With the passive effect of the E skill, plus the high damage from the explosion after actively stacking four layers, it has a unique ability.

The wave clear speed of a Tristana who has learned the E skill at level 1.

Among all the champions in League of Legends, he is considered one of the top.

When Graves took down LGD's blue buff, Tristana also pushed the first wave of minions in the top lane.

Originally, Ai Luoli wanted to continue farming LGD's Magic Swamp Frog.

But when I glanced at the road, I found that the little cannon had already pushed back a bit beyond the river.

Immediately, he wanted to go and try to catch it.

Even if you can't kill him, it's still good to catch him and get him to use Flash!
In reality, there's a high probability that you won't be able to catch them by arresting them in this way.

In Ai Luoli's opinion, the enemy Tristana knew that the enemy jungler was in her own upper jungle, yet she still dared to push the lane like that, which must mean she had placed a ward in the river bush in the top lane.

But he still chose to go up the road.

It's just because the ID above Xiaopao's head is LGDZhou.

If EDG's opponent in this game wasn't LGD.

Ai Luoli will not waste her precious early-game jungle clearing time trying to gank.

But there's no way around it, the ID LGDZhou is just too intimidating.

Or rather, the temptation was too great.

Any opportunity to suppress his development should be tried.

Because if this B had played even slightly better...

That's really good!
What's more, he picked a top lane Tristana that he hadn't seen before in this game.

When other people play this game, the weirder the hero, the faster they lose.

But when it comes to Zhou Dian, the weirder he plays, the faster he wins.

Ai Luoli was a little nervous and fearful of the unknown when Zhou Dian played Tristana in the top lane, a move she had never seen before.

As a certain eccentric pigeon once said: The best way to overcome fear is to face it.

Therefore, we must seize any opportunity to catch this small cannon.

However, the male gunner had only taken a few steps upstream along the river.

The small cannon retreated.

"Damn, they really do have eyes!" Ai Luoli thought to herself.

Because of this delay, Ai Luoli didn't dare to go back to LGD's blue buff area to farm jungle camps.

It's not that they're afraid of getting caught, after all, their mid laner Karma has lane priority right now.

The main reason was that I had just had the idea of ​​capturing the road.

We couldn't catch it, and a lot of time was wasted.

If we keep wasting time in LGD's blue buff area, Spider will go steal things from EDG's blue buff area.

After Graves returned to his own red zone.

On the top lane, Zhou Dian's Little Cannon started pushing forward again.

In fact, Zhou Dian himself didn't know exactly what Graves had been doing.

But that was all he could do, using himself as bait to help Eimy protect the jungle.

There are naturally no eyes in the grass along the river.

The ward on Xiaopao's body was already placed in LGD's red buff area.

It had already automatically disappeared by now.

Zhou Dian was just assuming that the gunslinger would come to arrest him.

Then, estimating that Graves was almost near the top lane river bush, I controlled Tristana to retreat.

As for whether Graves actually came?

He didn't know either.

However, he has done everything he could and should have done.

Whether Eimy can turn the tide in the jungle matchup depends on his subsequent performance.

the other side.

After Eimy left the base, he solo-killed and destroyed the red buff.

Without anyone's help, it's quite difficult for a level 1 spider to solo jungle monsters.

After taking down the red buff, the spider headed straight ahead.

After walking behind the small dragon pit, I stepped on the exploding fruit and went down into the small dragon pit.

Then, Eimy controlled the spider and headed straight for EDG's blue buff area.

LGD's bot lane duo gained a significant health advantage during the level 1 trade.

EDG's bot lane duo ran into trouble after trading blows, and now they can only stay back and wait for the bot lane minions to come over, not daring to go forward to farm.

At this point, Caitlyn and Braum were both level 1, while Ashe and Thresh had both reached level 2.

The bottom lane has absolute lane control and a level advantage.

This is also the main reason why Eimy dared to venture alone deep into EDG's blue buff area to steal the blue buff.

Eimy is not the type to swallow her anger.

Of course, we can't just let the blue buff at home go to waste; we have to steal it back.
