We are tired of winning championships, and we still need youth training?

Chapter 166 Old Deng, what exactly are you trying to do?!
"This, this is...?"

Remember to keep your eyes wide open.

With Xu Xinghe's hero pool, there are actually many junglers he can choose from.

I remember originally thinking he would choose a front-line jungler like Jarvan IV or Sejuani, or a utility jungler like Trundle or Skarner.

As for Carry jungler?

To be honest, there are a shockingly few junglers who can carry in this version.

Kindred is gone, Nidalee is gone, Lee Sin is gone, and there's not much left.

...No one will mention the Sword Saint, right?
The conditions for this thing to be used in competitions are extremely demanding.

The higher the level of the stage, the harder it is for this kind of pure damage-dealing jungler to get playing time.

Everyone knows how to play this game; bringing out this kind of "pig-slaughtering hero" will only make people laugh.

The only version in which Juggernaut appeared relatively frequently was the version with mid-lane Smite and Gem.

At that time, the Gem Sword Saint was extremely popular.

Unfortunately, with the introduction of smite and jungle penalty mechanisms, this playstyle has faded into history.

So I really didn't expect Xu Xinghe to pull out this thing.

The hero that has been locked in for IG's fifth pick is—

Shadow Scythe, Kayn!
Holy crap, Kayn can actually be used in competitive play?!

[Someone in the LCK next door tried it, but the problem is they lost too.]

I checked too, it seems to be Canyon, since Kayn was just buffed in patch 10.1.

[But its win rate is low even in ranked games, let alone in tournaments? This thing's combat power is too low if it doesn't evolve.]

The viewers in the live chat were all shocked by this choice.

Kayn is indeed stronger now that he's been buffed, but his early-game combat ability is pitifully weak.

Even a tank jungler like Sejuani can't beat her when their items are roughly equal.

Many Kayn players have to find ways to avoid fights in the early game, playing hide-and-seek in the Rift.

Because they simply can't compete in the jungle.

Xu Xinghe, is he really that confident?

It's important to understand that RNG's current overall strength is already greater than IG's; IG might not even be able to secure lane priority.

Choosing a weak jungler at this point would be a huge waste of resources.
Kayn is indeed awesome after transforming, but the problem is you have to survive until you transform.

Who doesn't know that Fiora is invincible in late-game split pushing with her weapon?

How many people can pull out these two things in every version?

The principle is the same.

Not to mention the live chat, even the IG fans at the scene were silent.

Those who came to the event were basically die-hard fans. After the departure of their two core players, IG's female fanbase has significantly declined. Most of the fans at the event were genuine League of Legends players.

They naturally knew how tough Kayn's early game was.

In their eyes, the hero selection was very reluctant.

They could guess why Xu Xinghe chose this option.

Too many heroes have been picked; you'll have to put in a lot of effort to win the game.

Kayn's late-game strength is undeniable, so even if the early game is tough, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

"Ugh……"

Some Instagram fans couldn't help but sigh.

Why has it come to this?
A player who was repeatedly relegated to jungle has to put pressure on himself to find a way to carry the game.

The draft and ban process has ended.

RNG (Blue Side):

Top lane weapon
Fight the wild boar girl
Mid lane ice girl
Bottom lane duo: Moonbeam and Lulu.

Red square IG:

Qinggangying

Jungle Kayn
Mid lane Ahri
Bottom lane duo: Kalista and Thresh.

Game start!
"In the early game, the bottom lane needs to contribute."

"Viper, if you can suppress people without dying, you can use your skills."

"Bin likes to make trades, so there's a chance in the top lane."

"Whether you succeed or not, the next time you go up, it will be level five or six. You can decide for yourself how to use the Holy Lance."

Xu Xinghe gave his teammates one instruction after another.

There's still plenty of time, so he can take this opportunity to make some plans.

It was impossible to catch him in the early stages.

Admittedly, Thresh with skateboard shoes can easily gain lane priority, thus seeking opportunities to tower dive.

But Xiao Wei on the other side isn't an idiot.

He knew perfectly well that you were strong in the early game with your Kalista, so how could he not come to the bot lane to counter-gank?

IG has a clear advantage in a 2v2 bot lane, but it's hard to say in a 3v3.

In the early game, Sejuani's combat power was much stronger than Kayn's.

Therefore, Xu Xinghe chose to let the bottom lane take some risks and go to the top lane to find the rhythm.

"Ok!"

Viper didn't ask anything like "the enemy jungler will definitely come," and just nodded seriously.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of games knows this is an open conspiracy.

Whether Xu Xinghe comes or not, Xiao Wei has to come.

Coming here would at most be a waste of a little time.

If he doesn't come and the bottom lane gets ganked, that would be a real disaster.

It is foreseeable that it will explode instantly.

"They're actually scrolling up?"

"The bot lane clearly had an advantage, so why did Galaxy make a counterintuitive move and try to gank top?

I remember being a little surprised.

"Hey, you just don't understand."

Guan Zeyuan smiled smugly and began to show off his understanding of the game.

“IG’s bot lane is already strong, so going to the bot lane means they can only tower dive, but RNG’s bot lane is the guarantee for the late game, so we definitely have to protect Wei.”

"The risk is too great."

"So at this point, you shouldn't gank the bottom lane."

"If the Moon Man manages to get a couple of kills, IG will be completely destroyed."

What was the concept of Aphelios at the beginning of Season 10?
Getting a kill can directly determine the outcome of a match.

For this top-tier turret-type carry, every minute of last-hitting is crucial.

One kill is equivalent to two or three waves of minions.

The two sides did not fight at level one. RNG invaded IG's jungle to set up vision, but IG immediately used their scanner to clear it.

A very standard start.

Xu Xinghe chose to start in the upper half of the map. After clearing the red buff, he immediately leveled up his E skill to level 2 and went through the wall at the Baron pit to the river.

audience:?
"Level 2 invasion of Sejuani's jungle? Holy crap, this kid!"

"Top lane seems to be at a disadvantage. Can they even invade? If they get caught, they might as well just feed!"

"Brother Xinghe is playing a bit rough."

Even from God's perspective, this action is extremely illogical.

IG has never been to RNG's jungle, so Xu Xinghe has no reason to know Xiao Wei's jungle route.

If you actively use your E to invade over the wall, you'll at least have to use Flash if you get caught.

It's a loss to run into Pig Girl, because you can't beat her.

Kayn's level 2 combat strength was already limited, and Xu Xinghe even learned level E.

This route is far too dangerous and involves too much risk!
But precisely because it was from God's perspective, the audience quickly expressed their amazement after a brief moment of questioning.

Because after Xiao Wei started playing blue, he actually chose to continue playing.

—Xu Xinghe actually managed to steal it!

Xu Xinghe couldn't help but smile when he saw that Frog Princess was still alive.

Unsurprisingly.

The game of jungling is all about information asymmetry and the overall situation.

Xu Xinghe knew that Xiao Wei had helped him, so he could naturally deduce his approximate route.

Blue buff, red buff, and F6, quickly reach level 3, control the river crab, and gank the bottom.

This route is unconventional, but it's the most likely.

Because Xiao Wei could guess that Xu Xinghe knew he would continue scrolling.

It doesn't matter if we control the blue buff and steal the other jungle monsters.

He'll be fine once he gets into Xu Xinghe's Shimonoseki district.

That's what game theory is all about.

As for clearing the blue buff area before going to the bottom lane?
Little Wei really doesn't dare.

Whether Xu Xinghe will come or not is unknown, and he cannot gamble with his life on the road.

The strategy he adopted was the "optimal solution".

Even in the worst-case scenario, it would only mean losing two groups of jungle monsters.

Jungling is all about strategy.

"Be careful of the jungler flanking you; place a ward at the entrance to the jungle."

Xu Xinghe reminded.

Missing licked her lips: "Should we kick him out?" They have lane priority in the bottom lane.

It's not impossible to kick people out if we really want to.

"Do not."

Xu Xinghe refused directly.

It's just some wild monsters; knowing Xiao Wei's location is enough.

Forcibly defending the jungle is merely trading a bot lane advantage for a jungle advantage.

There's really no need for that.

The Moon Man's development still needs to be suppressed by Kalista. The bot lane finally got lane priority, but they just gave it up for a few jungle monsters?
RNG must be laughing all the way to the bank.

If Xiao Wei likes to counter, let him counter. The most important thing for Kayn in the early game is to generate energy.

That is, to arrest people.

Whether they get caught or not is another matter, but the more battles they fight, the faster they evolve.

After defeating the blue team's B three wolves and Frog Princess, Xu Xinghe successfully reached level three.

Choose to grab it directly!

At this point, Bin had already started pressing the line.

After playing with his most confident weapon, Bin got really into it.

"It's just average."

This is how he commented on Flandre's Camille.

When Bin first became famous, his Korean server ID was Love camier, which means "love camier".

His Camille proficiency is also very high; he knows exactly how to play Camille.

To be honest, it was quite unexpected for Bin that Flandre would dare to pick Camille.

He certainly deserves it.

Because at this point his weapon had gained the upper hand.

Bin in S10 wasn't as well-rounded as he was later on.

However, their dominance in the laning phase is equally impressive.

After all, top laners are usually at their strongest when they first debut.

He's even more obsessed than TheShy.

With the advantage in hand, Bin naturally chose to press the line.

Even though Xiao Wei had reminded him to go, Bin still didn't take it seriously.

He's not afraid of being caught at all.

With his weapon having Q, E, and Flash, how can Kayn kill him?

He consciously refrained from recklessly using skills, and tried his best to use basic attacks to gain free health.

But Bin is still Bin.

Soon, he couldn't contain himself any longer.

Seizing the opportunity when Camille was taking out the cannon minion, he chose to use his Q skill to jump in, and activated his E skill Counter Strike while auto-attacking.

"The weapon jumped up!"

"But Kayn has already arrived!"

Guan Zeyuan was dumbfounded.

The constant signals on the minimap indicate that RNG, or rather Bin, should be well aware that there are people in the top and jungle areas.

But he still chose to jump up.

This playing style is too wild.

Wild, stunning Asia!
Looking at Kayn appearing behind him, Bin clicked his tongue in displeasure.

But he didn't think he couldn't leave.

They immediately retreated, heading towards the wall and bushes along the path.

"Bin remained calm and immediately tried to create as much distance as possible from Galaxy, waiting for his skills to cool down."

"His health is still very good, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to escape this wave."

Guan Zeyuan praised it.

Bin's handling of this situation was indeed flawless.

Keep your distance and wait for cooldowns, and try to get into bushes to avoid being focused down immediately.

In this situation, the gank usually ends there.

In fact, Xu Xinghe didn't expect to be able to kill this weapon.

Even using Flash is the limit.

But tolls still need to be collected.

Kayn needs to extract the energy from enemy heroes to transform, so even if he can't kill them, he should try to deal as much damage as possible.

Bin saw through his thoughts, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"You like to catch them?"

He entered the bushes to block vision, then turned around and traded auto-attacks with Flandre, who had used his W to slow him down, thus maintaining his Conqueror buff.

At this moment, he had eight stacks of Conqueror's Blessing and his health was still quite good.

Bin is starting to get restless.

Isn't this his favorite stage?
One against two!

Just today!

Xu Xinghe had already approached and immediately initiated with his Q skill.

The weapon currently has no skills, so there's no need to worry about missing with this Q.

W's slowing effect is used to keep enemies in place; you can hold onto it and not rush.

After Q goes in, A slashes, then immediately turns around and pulls back.

Since it was a righteous two-on-one situation, Bin's turn and strike could only hit Flandre's Camille.

It was at this moment that Flandre finally pulled out his E skill, the hook, and kicked the weapon near the wall with the second part of his E.

Flandre's kick was actually quite casual.

His goal was simply to force someone to flash.

But Bin wasn't happy about it.

What kind of class do you have, daring to force me to back down?

In an instant, he had already figured out how to counterattack.

Q skill has a 2-second cooldown, and E skill has an 8-second cooldown.

Simply flash forward to dodge Camille's hook, then use an AWA combo to trigger a full stack of Conqueror, turning into a roadblock and blocking Camille's retreat.

This could very well result in a 1v2 situation!

Because he possessed unwavering perseverance.

Moreover, having more health is also an advantage at this point!
Camille only had half health, so she was perfectly capable of making plays.

The difficulty in ganking top laners lies precisely in this.

Often, junglers lack combat power in the early game, and even two of them might not be able to defeat one.

Just as Camille's second hook was about to land, Bin used his Flash at the absolute last second.

"Holy Gun is going to kick it!"

"Bin decisively used Flash, so in that case—"

"What!?"

Colonel Guan's eyes widened.

"Bin actually chose to dodge forward!"

"And Flandre, actually managed to knock him unconscious with a kick from Flash!?"

This dramatic reversal left him completely dumbfounded.

Bin's decision to flash forward to pay tribute to JackeyLove is understandable.

Holy Gun Bro actually managed to react in such a critical situation, using Flash to E-Flash and stun Bin's weapon!?

This strategic maneuvering was truly top-notch!
"Brilliant!"

Xu Xinghe doesn't usually praise people.

But at this moment, Flandre truly surprised him.

Bin might flash forward and counterattack, something Xu Xinghe was aware of.

But Flandre's E skill had already been initiated, and the temporary reminder was already too late.

Therefore, Xu Xinghe didn't expect his E score to be correct.

But Flandre acted with exceptional decisiveness at this moment, swiftly following up with a Flash kick that stunned the weapon player who was trying to retaliate.

Now, Bin was truly dumbfounded.

"How can it be!?"

His Flash was already at the absolute limit!

He only used Flash when Camille was almost about to kick his face.

I'm just afraid that even after using Flash, I'll still get stunned by the kick.

But Bin never expected this...

How could an old veteran like Flandre actually keep up with his skills?
At this point, the weapon's Q skill was almost ready.

But Bin knew that although he was still alive, he was actually dead.

Weapons without Flash will be easily torn apart by Camille.

He's not going to replace Flandre.

The situation was still awkward; there was no way to move.

send!
