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

Chapter 548 Langx: I don't know if I can hold on!

Many times, those players weren't unaware of the danger, but they still chose to be greedy and take a gamble!
Ultimately, however, it comes down to insufficient ability to analyze map information.

Knowing that the opponent is very likely to come and attack.

It's only when we can't be sure if the other side has really come, or how many people have come, that we might take a gamble.

This is different from being completely unaware that someone is coming from the other side.

However, these things are basically not a problem for Zhou Dian.

However, Zhou Dian's Irelia did not back down at this moment.

It wasn't that he didn't understand the half-zone principle; it was just that Zhou Dian had already prepared a vantage point on the upper river.

As early as when Xx was preparing to make a move in the bottom lane, Zhou Dian had already gone to the river to place the trinket ward on Irelia.

Zhou Dian's consideration was clearly a step above simply adhering to the half-zone principle.

Joining was simply following the half-zone principle. When Xx went to gank RNG's bot lane and was exposed to RNG's vision, Irelia only had two options left.

Either retreat directly or place wards in the river.

If we retreat directly, then we don't know how long we'll have to retreat and how many soldiers we'll have to lose.

If you go to the river to ward at this point, and the enemy jungler is already camping in the river bush on the top lane, then going there at this time would be like handing yourself over to them.

Therefore, Zhou Dian's move to establish vision in advance is the optimal solution in this situation.

It was because he had prepared a vantage point in advance along the upper reaches of the river.

At this point, Irelia can still safely and boldly farm minions in lane.

Zhou Dian waited until Karsa appeared in the vision he had previously created before controlling Irelia to retreat.

When Karsa saw how quickly the Irelia retreated, he realized that he must have been spotted by the wards.

However, for the past half minute or so, he has been keeping an eye on the top lane. Since Irelia came online, he has not left the top lane at all. When did he place the wards in the top river?
The Irelia player must have gone straight to the river to establish vision before going online.

"Zhou Shen is still so hard to catch!" Karsa couldn't help but think.

Since we can't catch Irelia, let's steal a camp from TES's red buff area. We can't just come here for nothing!
Karsa took a few steps back and walked into the dragon pit.

Then they climbed over the wall of the dragon pit and entered TES's upper jungle.

When I ran to the TES's Stone Beetle camp, the Stone Beetle was indeed still there.

Karsa immediately started farming Stone Beetles.

If they can counter this group of stone beetles, then his trip to the top lane wasn't in vain.

At this point, Xx had already cleared the last remaining group of Swamp Frogs in his own blue zone.

After clearing the Gromp, Xx immediately headed straight for the bottom lane without hesitation.

Even though RNG's bot lane duo had already set up vision around the bot lane at this point.

Even if RNG's bot lane duo didn't position themselves too far, and even without Flash, Xx wouldn't have been able to secure a kill in this fight.

However, Xx still wants to go.

For no other reason than to disgust Uzbekistan.

Thus, Xx brazenly stepped over RNG's vision and went to the bottom lane.

Once Xx was exposed in the vision near RNG's bottom lane, RNG's bottom lane duo had no choice but to retreat.

Uzi originally thought that Xx would leave if he couldn't catch anyone.

But to his surprise, Xx, knowing that he had no vision of him, still walked down the path.

Then, Xx simply darted into the bushes in the middle of the path down!
Then nothing happened!
Seeing this, Uzbekistan immediately became agitated.

Because the eyes on him and Ming were already positioned around the riverbank.

At this moment, no one even bothered to insert their eyes into the bushes in the middle of the path.

However, if you don't know the visibility inside that grass.

I don't know if Xx is using the bushes to teleport back to base, or if he's really that weird and is still crouching in the bushes.

Uzbekistan dares not gamble, nor can it gamble.

However, this meant that Uzi could only stay in the back and had no way to go forward and finish off the enemy.

Watching the soldiers die one by one, he couldn't get a single bite.

Uzbekistan's frustration finally became unbearable.

"Karsa, come to the bot lane! The enemy jungler is ganking me like this, I can't play!" Uzi said, sounding annoyed.

"Wait for me, I'll come over as soon as I finish off the stone beetle!" Karsa said immediately.

Karsa could tell from Uzi's tone that there was no room for negotiation this time.

I have no choice but to go down the road myself.

If we don't go now, Uzbekistan will become famous!
Karsa had originally planned to flank and try to catch Irelia after clearing this group of stone beetles.

Even if we can't catch her, it would be good to annoy Irelia to no end!

At the very least, we should help the crocodile reclaim the hero advantage that he should have had.

But Uzbekistan is in a very bad mood and very unhappy right now, so Karsa can't take care of Langx anymore.

"Wolf Walk, be careful, don't get caught next!" Karsa said while pressing the B button.

Upon hearing this, Langx could only nod helplessly and hum in agreement.

In fact, Langx really wanted Karsa to help him again.

But he couldn't say it, nor did he dare to say it.

For the next period of time, he will have to rely on himself.

"I wonder if I can hold on!" Langx thought to himself.

Bottom lane.

After hiding in the back for a while, Uz couldn't take it anymore.

So, Ming cautiously went up to probe the bushes and found that there was no one in the bushes along the path.

I don't know when Xx left.

Knowing that Xx had left, Uzi immediately felt more confident and pressed forward.

After pressing forward, Uzi immediately initiated a trade of blows with LokeN.

Judging from his posture, he seemed quite angry.

According to Uzi, if it weren't for the TES jungler ganking twice in a short period of time, he would have already been more than ten CS ahead of LokeN, who is such a noob.

But now, he's the one getting crushed by this noob LokeN.

This is so damn frustrating!

Uzi glanced at the minimap and saw that Karsa had already come out of the fountain.

Judging from their movements, they are clearly heading towards the lower half of the draw.

Uz nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

At the same time, TES jungler Xx also came out of the fountain after upgrading his equipment.

And by this time they had already descended from the high ground.

Clearly, Xx's return time was earlier than Karsa's.

In fact, Xx had previously been in the bottom lane. After walking down the bottom lane, he went into the bush in the middle of the lane and stayed there for less than three seconds before pressing B to start the recall countdown.

RNG's bot lane duo was actually scared by thin air for quite a while!
Thinking about this, Xx couldn't help but want to hum softly.

The feeling of toying with Uzi is so wonderful!

At the same time, in the top lane, Zhou Dian controlled Irelia to go up and start a head-on fight with Renekton.

Zhou Dian invested the first blood gold he earned from Irelia into the Vampire Scepter.

However, the Vampire Scepter's primary function is healing. Its direct boost to combat power isn't worth the price.

At this point, a level 4 crocodile, having learned all three basic skills (QWE), possesses considerable combat power.

Therefore, despite having a gear advantage, Irelia did not gain any advantage in this fight.

They even lost out in terms of health!
After all, the essence of Irelia's laning phase trading lies in using her high mobility to kite and maneuver; she's not really that good at head-on confrontations.

But none of that matters.

Because Irelia also has Teleport.

Zhou Dian directly controlled the Irelia to retreat, and then pressed the B key to recall.

When Langx saw that the Irelia had traded blows and then fled, he immediately knew what Zhou Dian was up to.

This is like trying to take two lives to save one of your own!

This is a blatant and overt conspiracy.

However, Langx had no way to deal with this.

Fortunately, the minion wave was pushing towards RNG at this time.

Langx can control the lane in front of the tower for a while, making it more difficult for Irelia to play even if she teleports back later.

Soon, the top lane minions were controlled by the crocodile, positioned not far from RNG's top tower.

Then, a red beam of light appeared on a red minion in front of RNG's top tower.

It was a teleport from Irelia.

Seeing Irelia's teleport countdown, Langx couldn't help but feel a little envious of Irelia's teleport.

How do you mean?
What Langx actually envied was Zhou Dian's strategic position within the team during this teleportation.

If it were Langx, in past matches, he has also gained an advantage in the laning phase through his mechanical skills, forcing his opponent to use their teleport while saving his own.

However, in that situation, he couldn't do what Zhou Dian did—using teleportation to take down an opponent with two lives—he couldn't use such a calculated tactic.

In RNG, Langx uses teleport as sparingly as possible, and at this moment he needs to prepare to teleport to support the bottom lane.

If you can use your skills to teleport ahead of the opponent's top laner, that would be even better.

With their top laner having an extra teleport, Uzi can dominate the bot lane even more aggressively.

If you use up your advantage in teleportation just to gain a little more advantage in lane, Uzi definitely won't be happy.

Is the slight advantage you gain by using Teleport in the top lane more beneficial than using Teleport to help my bottom lane?

At this moment, Langx couldn't help but recall his days at Suning.

At that time, at least during the laning phase, I could use my teleport however I wanted.

There are quite a few instances where players like Zhou Shen, who used the extra teleportation advantage, openly bullied the enemy top laner.

After regaining his composure, Langx banished these fleeting thoughts from his mind and controlled the crocodile to walk towards the teleportation point of the Irelia.

Langx wanted to unleash a combo on Irelia the moment she teleported in, reducing her health and narrowing the health gap between them as much as possible.

Otherwise, if Irelia comes down at full health and has bought more items, it will be very difficult for Renekton to lane normally.

Anyway, the crocodile has two dashes with his E, and this position is not far from his own top tower.

Furthermore, Irelia doesn't have any passive stacks when she teleports down, so her damage isn't high.

Langx can confidently wait at Irelia's teleport landing point, without worrying about being chased and attacked by Irelia.

Soon, the teleport countdown for Irelia ended.

歘!
Irelia landed in the top lane.

Next to the Irelia stood a crocodile that was already in a state of red rage.

As soon as Irelia landed, the giant axe blade in the crocodile's hand struck Irelia's head.

However, the damage dealt by the crocodile's W with its red rage wasn't that high.

The reason is that Zhou Dian activated Blade Dance (W) the moment Irelia landed.

Irelia has a damage reduction effect while charging her W skill.

This resulted in the crocodile's red-rage W not dealing the expected damage.

Fortunately, Langx stopped in time and didn't accidentally use his Q skill as well.

Otherwise, the crocodile's damage would be blocked even more by Irelia.

Even now, even though Irelia blocked some of the damage from Renekton's W with its red rage buff, Renekton still has his Q and E skills to take down some of Irelia's health.

After the Crocodile's W skill casting animation ended, Langx quickly controlled the Crocodile to move around frequently in a small area.

The purpose is naturally to wait for Irelia's W skill to end, and to avoid the damage from Irelia's W skill.

However, to Langx's surprise, after Irelia finished charging her W skill, she didn't aim at Renekton at all when she released it.

Instead, it hit the blue team's minion in front of it directly.

He crippled all the blue team minions in front of him.

Then, Irelia started repeatedly using AQAQ on these low-health minions.

When Langx saw that Irelia didn't attack him immediately, he was happy to chase after her and use the rest of Renekton's abilities on her.

He even stole two extra basic attacks, showcasing his excellent skill with the crocodile.

Soon, the crocodile finished using its skills and retreated back to its own tower.

At this point, the Irelia, who had teleported down at full health, had only a tiny bit more health than the Renekton.

With just that little bit of health left, Irelia recovered it by repeatedly killing minions with her Q.

Otherwise, Irelia would have less health than Renekton.

Even so, the fact that Irelia lost so much health after teleporting down means that she has squandered the advantage of having an extra teleport, which would have allowed her to fight two lives against one.

"Wait, why is Zhou Shen doing this? He's really showing off to an extreme." Langx had a slight doubt in his heart.

Because in his opinion, or rather in the opinion of many players, Zhou Dian's gaming style was just a bit "weird".

Furthermore, they are extremely bold in both their operations and decision-making.

So sometimes it looks like he's showing off.

But in reality, Zhou Dian is not a brainless pretentious person.

He rarely gets excited!

At this moment, Langx also noticed that the minion wave he had blocked in front of his own tower had been completely wiped out by Irelia, with not a single blue minion remaining.

The top lane minions are about to reach RNG's top tower.

Given the minion wave situation just now, once Irelia returns to lane, she'll definitely need to find a way to push the wave forward.

Otherwise, if the minion wave is controlled in front of the enemy tower, Zhou Dian will have a hard time playing.

However, a full-health Irelia can push the minion wave forward against a half-health Renekton in many ways.

The crocodile couldn't stop Irelia from pushing the lane; he simply couldn't stop her.

On the contrary, is it necessary for Irelia to push the lane against Renekton's damage as soon as she lands after teleporting?

Langx originally only planned to take some damage and then leave, since he was also afraid of being hit by Irelia's E and getting counterattacked.

At this point, Langx thought about it again and immediately realized that something was amiss.

Is it necessary to push Irelia so quickly?

Why are you rushing to push the minion wave to the tower?

As soon as Langx's thoughts turned to this problem, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Why is Zhou Shen pushing the lane so urgently?
The only answer is that TES's top and jungle players need to surpass themselves!
