My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 432 The Cracked Tao-Style Operation
When the kill notification sounded above the canyon, the director quickly zoomed in on the replay of the top lane.
The previous big yellow was fine; it not only reduced its own blood exchange frequency but also kept itself at a safe distance from Gwen.

But this caution.

After successfully predicting V5's ambush in the bottom half of the map, TES gradually became more unrestrained.

Commonly known as: It's been packed up.

When Gwen had her passive fully charged to four stacks and used her ultimate EQ combo at maximum range, DaHuang, controlling Gnar, began chasing after Gwen after she had used her abilities.

If you only attack twice and then turn back, then this exchange of blows is actually not a loss.

However, perhaps because of the advantage of his teammates in the bottom lane, his vigilance was slightly reduced, and he wanted to try to trigger the three-hit combo with his third auto-attack.

this.
Luo Ji, however, wouldn't tolerate that.

Although he's described as having long range, Gnar's actual attack range is only around 400 yards. However, to actually land an attack, you'll need to be within 400 yards yourself.

then.

While pretending to be an A-rank minion, Luo Ji suddenly used his W ability and sprinted back after Gnar closed in enough distance.

R [Pin-burst]

A flat A.

Even Big Yellow didn't expect that Gwen, who was being beaten and retreating just a second ago, would suddenly choose to go all in the next second.

The key is.

As W opens, Gwent within range becomes untargetable, and it also blocks his attempt to trigger the third ring with a basic attack.

And the anger above his head
It doesn't seem likely that it will last until it becomes a larger version of Gnar.

Gotta run!

His mind raced, and his hands moved just as quickly.

When the first jump lands on Gwen, the second jump is used to run towards the turret, and even uses an extra flash upon landing. However, this is the weakness of the top lane.

The line is too long.

The two started fighting from the opposite side of the river, and even though Da Huang used three dashes, he was never able to get back to the turret.

What made him even more desperate was...

From start to finish.

After the enemy Gwen's Q skill was ready, she didn't use her second Q. Instead, she used her R skill to sprint and catch up with Gnar.

The skill combo of A+Q+E+A is used.

Unpretentious.

However, this ensured that all the skills in his hand hit their target.

As a young boy, he couldn't withstand the bombardment of the truck. According to Luo Ji, "I used so much force, why are you still alive?"

then
A kill notification sounded in the arena.

TES's hard-earned momentum was dealt a heavy blow in an instant.

[Greedy and greedy.]

To be honest, if it weren't for the sprint, Gwen really wouldn't have been able to get the kill.

[You should have stopped trading blows earlier. You didn't even manage your rage properly. It's ridiculous to try and greedily get the third passive skill.]

[Alas, Prime Minister, Wei Yan will surely rebel!!!]

"really."

"Compared to V5's mid and jungle issues, TES's side lanes are clearly the bigger problem."

Redmi has moved to Bengbu.

Can this really be used to send out opportunities?
Just a second ago he was praising TES for their significant improvement, but the next second, Da Huang pulled off a major move, successfully attracting the attention of all the players on the team.

Coach, is this what you meant by "great progress"?
That.
They can do that too!
Although they managed to get a kill back and regain some ground, the current situation is still unfavorable for V5.

Because the bottom lane doesn't have lane priority.

This was also because Jayce's Flash recovery put pressure on FOFO in the mid lane.

This resulted in the mid lane lacking lane priority, which prevented the bot lane from pushing, and consequently, TES also secured the second dragon.

even.

Tian also fed the first Herald to the mid laner, allowing Rookie to farm freely, and then turned his attention to the second Herald.

This is TES.

Once they gain an advantage in the early game, they naturally have an extremely smooth snowballing ability. At least in the first fifteen minutes, TES's offensive rhythm is among the best in the LPL.

Should we accept the Vanguard mission?

"I can't take it, but I can create an environment for you to try and snatch it. There's a 90% chance of success. Want to give it a try?"

"That's it."

Upon hearing the mention of 90%, Weiwei knew perfectly well that his team's top laner was joking with him.

There's really no way to catch this wave.

Although Gnar died once, the top lane was simply back to a fair duel, but the situation was completely different in the other lanes.

TES was determined to secure this wave of objectives, even bringing Varus to the mid lane very early on.

If we're talking about the bottom lane...

If Ruler can still barely compete with JKL for lane control by manipulating the lane, then Varus is the king of the mid lane.

They also secured the line control firmly.

With no lane priority in the mid lane and no damage in team fights, engaging in team fights at this point would be no different from feeding. After thinking about it, V5 decided to use the time TES spent taking the Rift Herald to make up for their lack of development.

"It's quite rare. In this game, TES actually got two dragons and two Rift Heralds in the early game."

I remember having some feelings about it.

Of course, he was just expressing his feelings. Meanwhile, the esports fans on the second channel were practically having a brain orgasm. Back when JKL joined TES, he devoted himself to [TES esports] without hesitation, just to get a share of TES's traffic.

But then, unexpectedly, V5 suddenly appeared.

On the contrary, it was the upstart [Chu Jun Ai Ke] who got a good taste of success, and now they're just short of changing their name to [V5 Esports], following the same path as him.

Now we see TES dominating V5.

How could I not be upset?

"Don't worry, guys."

"Let me tell you, TES has a fatal flaw right now." "Before the match, I was quite afraid that TES would correct this, but now I'm sure that TES hasn't changed it at all."

"It's impossible for Mebius on V5's side not to notice this flaw."

It's also a second station.

Chu Jun was not affected by V5's current disadvantage at all. On the contrary, he still believed in V5's future, especially after seeing that they did not take the second wave of the vanguard and immediately started marking the lanes after TES returned to base.

His eyes brightened up.

"Wait, what's with TES's lane assignment?"

When TES came out of their home stadium again, not only Chu Jun noticed the problem, but LNG's coach Poppy and JDG's coach Hongmi also noticed something was wrong.

How did you
Is it Nar who's going to lead the way?
at this time.

After securing the second Herald, the next key moment for both sides lies in securing the third Elemental Dragon, which is located in the lower half of the map. Naturally, players will move towards the lower half of the map, leaving the top lane as a safe zone.

This kind of lane should normally be given to the mid laner to farm.

While supplementing development.

If the enemy team tries to gank you, your teammates can take the opportunity to control the dragon in the bottom half of the map; either way, it's a win-win situation.

Can be biased.

TES opted to send Gnar to the top lane to farm the safe lane, while having Rookie's Jayce farm the dangerous lane in the bottom lane.

This resulted in Jayce being forced to remain under the tower and unable to leave whenever V5 players disappeared from the minimap.

after all
Kai'Sa's ultimate ability still puts too much pressure on split-pushing players in the side lanes.

"This is exploiting Rookie's weakness."

"He clearly corrected this habit last year, but unfortunately, he has been forced to revert to it this year."

lounge.

Nofe appeared extremely composed.

As we all know, Rookie is a prime example of the "eat grass and produce milk" type of player. Strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with him. His biggest problem is that in the mid-game, he always likes to avoid taking resources and give up safe spots to his teammates.

In summary: He's been a dean too many times.

Last year when he was with V5, Luo Ji and Karsa were watching him and remotely controlling him, letting him develop, so these kinds of weaknesses didn't appear much.

You can return to TES.

Rookie's true nature was revealed once again.

That.
V5 won't hold back.

You Jayce might not dare to come out, but I, Gwen, am confident I can charge in thanks to my W ability.

This conclusion leads to...

Despite TES having an economic advantage on the field, V5 managed to secure vision control of the river's tri-bush area, led by Gwen's advance.

Jwei then regained control of the river's visibility.

OK
The entire river and lower half of the map were brightly lit on V5's side, while TES's side was pitch black. With the economic situation obscured, one might even think that V5 had the advantage.

pressure!

The immense visual strain!
The most difficult thing to do is to jump down from the top lane, as Gnar needs rage to participate in team fights, so he can't come down at any time. He has to control his rage before he can come down.

This allows FOFO to roam earlier after clearing the lane, saving him an extra TP compared to Waywrad's Gnar.

"Seize this opportunity."

"Roger that!"

now.

V5 has two major advantages: home ground (vision) and player support (Lissandra returned first). The only thing they lack is timing (they are not as strong as TES in their current power spike). However, with a score of 2:1, their advantage is already clearly in their hands.

And as mentioned earlier.

TES employs a dual-poke strategy, which relies on positional warfare. If they aren't flanked, they're fine, but if they are, or their carry is engaged, they'll lose the entire game.

Capitalize on TES's desire to establish vision control in the upper river.

Weiwei activated stealth mode.

Seizing the opportunity, he flashed into the fray and immediately went straight for Varus, setting his sights on him.

"Boohoo!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Da Huang, who had followed for half the distance, realized that he could not save his skills, so he quickly pressed his TP.

But it's useless.

Due to the lack of vision, TES had no choice but to take the only route from the jungle to the river entrance if they wanted to save the bottom lane duo that had been targeted.

But Luo Ji is a very shrewd person.

He directly manipulated Gwent to stay in this position, even though this position meant being under fire from the four TES players on both sides.

But he just needs to get stuck here.

Jayce couldn't get into the fray, and Sejuani couldn't provide any good support. This is a classic case of the top laner not holding the vision line head-on, allowing V5 to easily take positions.

Conversely, if Gnar were playing in the bottom lane and managed his rage a bit, V5 would have been completely helpless.

Mark reacted very quickly.

The moment he realized he had been targeted, he immediately used his ultimate skill to lock onto the monkey who initiated the team fight.

Varus has no mobility skills, so when he was caught out and his teammates couldn't provide enough support, while V5's initiators were able to keep entering the fray.

He could only resign himself to his fate and fall.

Even if you use Flash.

She was subsequently taken down by the Ice Maiden who arrived later, using her E skill and a repositioning ability.

V5's Ruler killed TES's JKL.
TES's Rookie killed V5's Mebius.
Although Gwen was also focused down and killed for blocking the position, the support Ryle immediately stepped in and continued to hold the position after Gwen was taken down.

Faced with their support Mark still surrounded by V5, the remaining TES members had no choice but to give up.

1 for 2
They even gave away the third elemental dragon that should have belonged to them.

No one could have imagined it.

Tao-style operation
Unbeknownst to many, this became the biggest foreshadowing for this TES team.
