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

Chapter 176 Aggressive Tower Dive, Perfect Response!
Until Missing appeared on the front lines, everything proceeded exactly as Kanavi had predicted.

Even though IG's direct confrontations were still excellent, the problem was that JDG's lineup was just more aggressive in fights, and IG was always at a disadvantage, only able to fight and retreat.

Just as JDG was chasing forward, Leona suddenly cut in from the side, completely plunging JDG into an abyss.

Even though both mid laners came to support, having an extra Leona in the early game was still a huge advantage for IG.

Even without items, Leona is still a very tanky champion.

JDG had no way to deal with her in a short time, but had to endure the harassment she caused.

Fortunately, both sides dealt relatively little damage in the early stages, and JDG eventually managed to trade two for one before retreating in a sorry state.

"Did we actually lose money this time?"

Kanavi looked puzzled.

His sense of smell was equally sharp; even after noticing the arrival of the support, he still felt that they wouldn't lose and launched a very decisive counterattack.

However, Toothpaste and Zoom weren't as decisive as him. They hesitated when retreating, which allowed IG to break up their formation, resulting in them losing the fight.

"You clearly have the ability to fight, so just retreat directly, turn back immediately, why are you hesitating?"

Kanavi couldn't hold back any longer and asked a question.

JDG's teamwork in this play was really clumsy.

"mine."

The toothpaste immediately backed down.

He provided support quickly enough in this wave, but his subsequent hesitation is a fact.

"Forget it, there's nothing to say. The gap isn't that big, and you've already gotten the head. The Tsar getting the head isn't a loss, it's just that I'll feel a bit bad."

Kanavi composed himself and shook his head.

Although he is still a newcomer, his mentality is actually quite good.

He was very rational during the game, demonstrating the composure of a leader.

He's truly capable of leading a team.

Although the team lost, it was fortunate that the Tsar was able to farm and develop.

However, just as he said, he will have a tough time playing next.

Before he died in this wave, the Ueno area hadn't been cleared much.

He had already seen Xu Xinghe enter his jungle. Once this wave of jungle monsters was cleared, the jungler would likely be pulled into a level difference.

"Gragas is about to reach level 6, be careful, let him go, yagao."

While waiting to be resurrected, he reminded his teammates.

"I know."

The toothpaste tube looked serious and nodded earnestly.

His Tsar needs to play more conservatively now, since his Flash isn't ready yet.

Once the enemy is knocked back by the barrel, the mid lane priority may be lost immediately.

The so-called line control is not about pushing the line blindly, but about controlling the pushing and releasing of the line, and always maintaining the initiative.

Toothpaste played very steadily, and instead of pushing the lane constantly just because he had a lead, he chose to control the minion wave in front of his own turret.

It would be very difficult for Xu Xinghe to gank this minion wave.

However, Xu Xinghe chose to attack the top lane.

The reason is simple: to help Flandre expand his advantage.

The Herald will refresh in eight minutes. This gank doesn't necessarily need to result in a kill, but at least we need to reduce Zoom's status.

As Flandre's Aatrox level has increased, he's finding it much easier to fight Renekton now.

Having just secured a kill, the top lane was now level.

After clearing a round of JDG's jungle, Xu Xinghe immediately appeared behind the top lane turret.

Zoom: ...

No, what do you want to do?
Since he has already used TP, he can only log on by walking now.

Now that the barrel is here, it's blocking his way to the game.

This makes things very difficult for Zoom.

Thinking back, there's a high probability that it will be consumed by the barrels.

Once their health drops to a certain level, they are likely to be tower-dived.

But what if we don't go?
It's no different from being dead; you can't even get a bite of the huge wave of minions under the tower.

Toothpaste had only been back in the mid lane for a short time, and Zoom couldn't call him over.

After Kanavi revived, he has already marched towards Xu Xinghe's underworld area, so it's impossible to expect Kanavi to come and help now.

For Kanavi, as long as the possibility of his teammates dying is not very high.

His own development is obviously more important.

This is also a natural part of the "wild core" mindset.

For jungle carry players, ensuring their own development is a top priority.

Why would you turn around and help your teammates stop the damage when you could have invaded the enemy jungle to protect your own development?
Kanavi isn't that selfless.

Therefore, JDG's top lane is currently essentially an isolated island.

Xu Xinghe grasped this point precisely, which is why he so brazenly blocked the crocodile's position on the field.

"This feels so awful."

Zoom paced anxiously between the first and second towers, irritated by the barrels blocking his way.

Not everyone can be a Kim Gong.

Although Zoom is a veteran top laner, he also experiences emotional fluctuations.

"Bear with it, I'll jump right away."

Kanavi reminded him of something.

Now that Xu Xinghe's location has been exposed, Kanavi, who has already invaded, naturally can't just eat some wild monsters.

He's also going to put pressure on IG's bot lane.

Even according to the half-zone principle, Zoom now has to behave itself.

"Yes, go for it!"

Zoom nodded.

On the other side, IG also completed the exchange.

Viper's Xayah didn't choose to give up the lane; instead, she chose to clear the minion wave that was about to be pushed towards the turret as much as possible.

When facing a tower dive, simply hiding under the tower is useless.

On the contrary, actively clearing the network can be more effective.

Viper's move was ruthless.

This made JDG's bot lane extremely uncomfortable.

After all, if you want to tower dive, you have to push the minion wave to the tower first, right?
But they've already blocked you outside the defensive tower and won't let you in at all. What can you do?
Even if you manage to cross it in the end, it will still waste a lot of time.

In the fast-paced world of professional sports, this is not good news.

However, Kanavi is also a master at tower diving, and immediately signaled to attack.

"Kill him! Forget about the AD carry, kill the support!"

Because Leona roamed around, Xayah was already level six.

Xayah with her ultimate at level 6 is not easy to dive, especially now that the minion wave can't be pushed in, making it easy to get traded kills.

But Leona had just ganked the top lane and even used Flash to lock down an enemy, so he was still easy to kill now that he didn't have Flash.

Without hesitation, JDG's support player, having received Kanavi's "dead order," used his Q skill directly on Leona under the tower.

At this point, only Viper's Xayah was level six in the bottom lane.

Leona has just reached level 5, while JDG's bot lane duo is almost level 6.

Viper's eyes sharpened, and he almost instantly realized JDG's plan.

—Killing Leona to make up for the last bit of experience needed to level up Nautilus to level six.

Once JDG's bot lane reaches level six, even if I'm also level six, it'll be hard for me to survive; I'll get dirty kills!

Therefore, this wave of Leona tanks cannot die immediately.

At the very least, we can't let him get killed so easily!

Without the slightest hesitation, Viper's Xayah, who was originally behind Leona, suddenly appeared in front of Leona amidst the scattered golden light, taking the initiative to block the Q for her own support.

"Xayah flashed to block Nautilus's Q for the low-health Leona! That's very kind of her!"

The commentators couldn't help but praise the scene. What they saw was camaraderie, but in the eyes of the JDG coach, it was nothing short of excellent on-the-spot judgment.

"This Viper..."

The JDG coach gripped the armrest tighter and tighter, his eyes filled with confusion.

Judging from the current situation, this IG team's configuration is by no means low!

Although AD is not well-known, his on-the-spot ability is equally outstanding.

He could clearly see that Viper was doing this on purpose.

It may seem ordinary from God's perspective, but in reality, not every AD carry can proactively block a Q for the support, especially in a situation where they are about to be tower-dived.

But that's how decisive Viper is.

Before the match, JDG's coach had also watched the Demacia Cup.

But back then, Viper seemed quite mediocre to him.

Confusing, confusing.

Could it be that Galaxy, this super genius who stayed with IG, really has the eye to discover talented players?
As the Titan entered the tower, JDG's AD carry and jungler immediately made their move.

Kanavi's Nidalee throws a Q from a distance, then immediately transforms into cougar form and charges into the turret.

The Titan's Q hit Xayah, and his auto-attack immobilized her, but almost simultaneously, the purifying light emanating from Xayah lifted the immobilization effect.

Holy crap?! This air purifier is amazing!

[This is fucking fast! Is this Viper?]

[Is this mediocre, bro? Who said IG's bot lane was weak?]

A feather-like aura surrounds Xayah; this is the effect of activating her W skill, Deadly Feather Robe.

When Xayah activates her W skill, simply auto-attacking will grant her a 30% movement speed bonus.

Viper's Xayah immediately gained a speed boost as he unleashed a basic attack against the tower's Nautilus.

With a very precise head shake, he dodged Kanavi's Q.

As she shook her head backward, Xayah also threw out her Q.

The Titan, already immobilized by Leona's Q at close range, had no chance to react and was immediately pulled in by her E skill, hook, and imprisoned under the turret.

At that moment, the second attack from the defensive tower had already landed.

Titan's health is down to one-third.

The Nidalee and Kai'Sa who pounced on them dealt a lot of damage, almost instantly forcing Xayah to use her ultimate.

But Titan couldn't hold on any longer. He activated his W to withstand the third turret hit while flashing out of the turret, managing to survive with a sliver of health.

However, Kai'Sa was controlled by Leona's E at this moment, and could not trigger Xayah's passive immediately, so she could only use Cleanse to force an additional damage.

But by this time the turret had been completely heated up. After Kanavi unleashed a burst of damage, he took some damage from the turret, and his health dropped from full to half.

His heart sank, and he had no choice but to use Flash to get out of the tower and transform into human form to try and deal damage.

Good news: No one can control the minion wave; it's already under the tower.

Bad news: Neither Nidalee nor Kai'Sa could withstand the tower's damage and had to use Flash to create distance.

[IG.Flandre kills JDG.Zoom!]

JDG.Zoom defeats IG.Galaxy!

In the upper bracket, Zoom has already been taken down by Xu Xinghe and Holy Gun.

However, this wave of attacks was actually rather difficult to win.

Because Zoom has been upgraded to level six.

Because Zoom gained experience in the previous wave, Flandre misjudged the experience gain. After a short delay, Xu Xinghe placed Zoom under the first tower to prepare for a tower dive.

As a result, Zoom leveled up to level six, activated his ultimate ability, and held out for a long time, eventually replacing Xu Xinghe.

However, while IG's tower dive wasn't very successful, JDG was even more bewildered.

When JDG's jungler and bot laner went under the tower again, they successfully killed Viper, but inevitably lost their support.

The others were also severely damaged and no longer had the ability to dive the tower.

"Hmm... how should I put it, both sides have a lot of experience dealing with tower dives."

The commentator seemed somewhat surprised.

Neither JDG nor IG made a particularly impressive move.

Or perhaps, the opposing players handled the tower dive exceptionally well.

This is a top-level matchup; ordinary tower dives are easily countered.

"However, IG definitely comes out on top. They can take the top half of the Rift, while JDG doesn't get any neutral objectives."

The doll added a sentence.

"Your stance is a bit too obvious. Let me give you a warning."

Miller made a joke.

This is like salted beans without any salt; at least JDG has fans.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry."

The child realized she had gone too far and immediately apologized.

"I really believed your nonsense. Didn't you say that after this wave of clearing, I wouldn't be able to level up to six?"

Xu Xinghe's somewhat helpless voice rang out in the IG voice chat.

This was originally supposed to be a huge profit.

Saint Gun told him that the crocodile couldn't reach level six before he sent Zoom over.

result……?
"Mine, hehe, sorry."

Even Flandre was having a tough time.

This was really his fault. If he hadn't said he couldn't reach level six, that fight in the bot lane would have been a pure win.

However, the final result was still good.

IG easily secured the Rift Herald and placed it directly in the mid lane.

For IG, the most important task is to curb Azir's development.

Xu Xinghe chose to target the middle lane in the first wave for this very reason.

If we can destroy the mid-lane turret in one fell swoop, we can greatly suppress Azir's development space.

However, JDG clearly had sufficient warning against IG's move.

They directly switched their bottom lane duo to the mid lane, forcefully defending the mid lane's first tower.

But everything comes at a price.

Although they managed to defend the first tower, it left the bottom lane temporarily vulnerable, allowing Viper's Xayah to take two tower plates.

At this time, the economic gap between the two sides was not large, but it was very concentrated.

Eleven minutes into the game, the second dragon spawned.

IG had better vision control and secured the dragon pit position first.

After making their decision, JDG chose not to engage in this team fight, but instead opted to concede.
"Fifteen minutes, wait for fifteen minutes!"

"Winning this team fight could take over the game, so let's not rush."

Kanavi consistently emphasized calmness.

At this point, his development was not too far behind Xu Xinghe's, but he felt that it was not safe to engage in team fights at this time.

"55th Regiment, we can fight."

he added.

At this point, the toothpaste tsar was almost finished with two sets.

The Tsar with Nash in his golden form was quite formidable.

With this Tsar on the team, it will be difficult for IG to achieve any significant results in team fights.

The JDG members, having been reassured, also calmed down.

Waiting for the time to come.

During this period, we found ourselves in a rare period of peace and tranquility.

At that very moment, IG's Flandre was caught.

In order to destroy the top lane tower that was about to be destroyed, he chose to force the destruction even after seeing the mid and jungle players.

Almost simultaneously, all the contestants in the arena converged on his location.

It may seem like only one person is on the road, but in reality, it's within the sight of five people!
